"Most of the years I coached, it was a dirt floor, and it was elevated above," former coach Ted Owens said. "The real problem was, for some reason, they didn't put the floor in until the day before we started practice."
Owens said that before the floor was installed, his players were forced to hold workouts at nearby Robinson Gymnasium. Recruits? They were treated with what Owens described as "a big ol' barn" during

With these changes has come a challenge: finding a way to maintain the unparalleled history of Allen Fieldhouse while still equipping it with the modernity required to woo recruits and fans alike.

The Jayhawks' new-look locker room puts some NBA prepping areas to shame - Self says it's "impressive to anyone that is able to step inside the halls and take a tour of it". The 32,000-square-foot DeBruce will be an $18 million extension to the Fieldhouse and is set to be completed in 2015.
Yes, the renovations and additions have been plentiful as of late, but Self is still committed to keeping "the integrity of the way the building was originally meant to be built." While other programs have abandoned their old facilities in favor of newer, more aesthetically pleasing ones, Kansas has embraced its home, its tradition, and its story.

Allen Fieldhouse
McKinnon Walsh, freshman from Shawnee:
What is your favorite memory of Allen Fieldhouse?
"I'd say my best memory of Allen Fieldhouse was this year during the Florida game when we were down 18. Me and my friends body painted and we were super excited for the game. We were really disappointed at halftime, but then the Jayhawks came back and they were able to pull it out. The entire stadium was electric. It was awesome."
What makes a basketball game in Allen Fieldhouse different from anywhere else?
"Just thinking about how many people have been in here, how many legends have played on that court, how many current stars, how many former stars. Wilt Chamberlain played here, Phog Allen, of course; we named it after him. He's a legend. And Bill Self for one, he's keeping this program alive."
What does the camping tradition say about the students?
"I think the fact that we are this dedicated to our program shows that we are
the best student section in America definitely. We are very dedicated to our team, just like they appreciate us cheering them on while they're playing. You know, we are very proud of our stadium; it's the best stadium in college basketball. It's the cathedral, it's the Sistine Chapel of college basketball."
Brett Landrum,
sophomore from
Geneva, Ill.:
Do you have a favorite game in Allen Fieldhouse?
Alen Fieldhouse? "I'd honestly say TCU last year. We beat them really bad and it was my first game. Wiggins went off, and we just destroyed them."
What makes a basketball game in Allen Fieldhouse different from anyone else?
"The crowd is like always into the games. You obviously can tell that the players get that vibe from the crowd, and once the players are feeling that vibe, the crowd like gets into it and builds that atmosphere."
What's the best part about watching a game in Allen Fieldhouse?
"Everybody really gets into it, and that's the best part about it because it
brings the school together. And then obviously people are camping really early in the morning. It just shows a ton of dedication."
Christian Jones, freshman from Shawnee:
How long have you been a Kansas basketball fan?
"Since about 5. My dad just kind of introduced me to the sport of basketball and I just watched all the games with him. I haven't really missed many games. I watch pretty much all of them. It's a big part of my life. I really enjoy it."
What makes a basketball game in Allen Fieldhouse different from anywhere else?
"Just the atmosphere of the people. Here, it's everyone chanting, everyone yelling. There's no, I guess, cheap noises. It's just the atmosphere of everyone yelling and having a good time."
"Just that we're dedicated. We love basketball, we love the team, we love each other. We always get into it. We're very accepting of each other. It's just an awesome feeling."

CAMPING BECOMES STAPLE OF KANSAS BASKETBALL TRADITION
DEREK SKILLETT
@DEREK_SKILLETT
The glory. The power. The history. The legends. The titles. The tradition. These are the words that flash across the video board before tipoff at a Kansas men's basketball game. Words that incite the students at Allen Fieldhouse to explode into decibel-shattering cheers. Students who spend hours before the start of the game camping get the opportunity to be a part of one of the greatest student sections in college basketball.
since its establishment during the Larry Brown era in the 1980s, students
camping for basketball games has become an increasingly popular tradition at the University. The lottery and camping system has helped create an organized way for students to get involved in forming one of the best home-court advantages in the country.
"It's definitely more popular today. Back when I first started, sometimes I would be the only person at lottery. That never happens now," Pacey said. "It's definitely gotten a lot easier for the groups with the online stuff. It's definitely gotten bigger."
Mark Pacey, a graduate student from Manhattan, has been camping for basketball games since he was a sophomore in 2003.
Dylan Klohr, a junior from Overland Park, is a part of the camping leadership team. He said he started camping when he was a freshman.
"I was invited by a couple of my friends to camp," Klohr said. "Being at KU and having basketball games is a big part of what KU is about."
Klohr took over camping near the middle of Kansas conference schedule of games. He said while there are other organized camping groups around the country, there is something special about Kansas that makes its camping system unique.
"It has a lot of history behind it. Just being at the place where basketball
started, having history is everything," Klohr said. "Our history is what makes it unique. It's part of what makes KU basketball as fun as it is. Lining up all week, going to lottery, it proves

Pacey said he believes basketball camping has become a University tradition.
"I'd say we have about as much participation as
said. "I was told all the way in junior high school that camping was going on at KU. My parents used to talk to me about how camping happened back in the '80s."
There is little doubt that camping out for basketball games has helped create one

"I thought, 'What the hell, I should have stayed two more years.'"
— MAX FALKENSTIEN,
RETIRED RADIO ANNOUNCER

Falkenstien reminisces on all of the games he has witnessed in Allen Fieldhouse. Falkenstien was a sports radio announcer from 1946-2006
AMIE JUST

@AMIE_JUST
Max Falkenstien has seen it all.
He's been there for the euphoria of celebrations and for the agony of defeats.
It has been nearly 70 years since Falkenstien started his announcing career. He has thousands of memories that surround Allen Fieldhouse, but one overarching theme sticks out the most.
He was close with Forrest "Phog" Allen and many coaches, players and staff members who have been through the Kansas basketball program since then.
"Allen Fieldhouse is the site of so many great memories and so many great athletes and the relationships that I've built up with so many guys over the years," Falkenstien said.
"When they come back, like Nick Collison the other night, Kenny Gregory earlier in the season, and to see Joel Embid come up with a big smile on his face and give me a hug, those are the great feelings that I treasure."
The storied sports radio announcer called approximately 1,775 games for Kansas basketball and 850 games for Kansas football.
"It turned out to be Kansas versus Oklahoma A&M (now Oklahoma State) in 1946 in the NCAA Tournament in Kansas City," Falkenstien said. "They had one of the first of the seven-footers, Bob Kurland, playing for them and they beat Kansas. The next Monday I went back
Falkenstien said he had just returned from World War II when he called his first game.
to school here at KU and my mathematics professor said, 'We listened to the game the other night and you made us feel like we were there.'"
In 1950, Kansas State unveiled Ahearn Field House, but Allen wanted something even more impressive for the University.
For the first several years of Falkenstein's career, Kansas basketball played in Hoch Auditoria (now Budig Hall), which could seat about 3,000 people. Students could only go to every other game because it was so small.
"He, of course, put pressure on the Kansas Legislature to give Kansas an even bigger arena than Kansas State," Falkenstein said. "After a
THE EARLY DAYS OF "THE PHQG"
long construction period in March of 1955, Allen Fieldhouse was opened."
The first game in Allen Fieldhouse had a lot riding on it. It was a rivalry game against Kansas State, and Kansas hadn't performed well at home that season.
It was the final conference home game for Kansas, and 17,288 people showed up. Falkenstien said.
"It had a dirt floor when it opened up," Falkenstien said. "The court was elevated and the players had to step up onto the court. Sometimes in their quest to dive for a loose ball they would even slide off the edge of the court. It didn't have any of the

The legendary home-court advantage of Allen Fieldhouse had begun.
In those days, Allen Fieldhouse looked nothing like it does today.
grandeur that it has today. It was dusty and kind of dirty, but it was still kind of a grandiose place to move into after playing in Hoch Auditoria."
The following season, 1955-56, was Allen's last season.
"We always called him Doc," Falkenstien said of Allen.
Falkenstien's father was the Kansas Athletics business manager, and he grew up knowing Allen. Their close relationship continued when he became a broadcaster.
The "Phog" nickname hadn't come about yet, but Falkenstien remembered where it came from.
"The nickname 'Phog' came from when he umpired softball or baseball," Falkenstien said. "He would blare out the balls and strikes in a foghorn-like voice."
"He was a very nice man and was very inspirational," Falkenstien said. "He was one of the [greatest] public speakers of all time."
WILT THE STILT
WILL THE SKY
Allen's last season as coach was also Wilt Chamberlain's freshman debut.
"We have a lot of seven-footers now, but they don't have the size that Wilt had to go along with it," Falkenstien said. "In those days, a seven-footer really was a rarity."
Back then, freshmen weren't allowed to play with the varsity team, but they could play against them.
Falkenstien said Chamberlain scored 52 points against the varsity team in its scrimmage. The freshmen won.

Despite being dominant on the court, Falkenstien said Chamberlain was very different off of it.
MAX FROM 7
"Wilt was somewhat reserved in his acceptance of other people," Falkenstien said. "I think he had built a protective screen around himself because he was so tall and he didn't like the jokes and the attention and the notoriety that went with his great size. People would come up to him and say, 'How's the weather up there, big boy?' and stuff like that. He wasn't real fond of that type of conversation."
Falkenstien said Chamberlain was one of the best players Kansas has ever seen. Only one other rivaled him - Danny Manning.
"While Wilt was the most dominant player that we've ever had because of his size and just the way he was a huge force on the floor, as far as the most skilled basketball player goes, I still vote for Danny Manning as the best," Falkenstien said. "Danny was a great scorer, a great passer, a great shot blocker, and (he) made everybody on the team so much better. But Wilt had a dominance in the game that nobody's ever matched."
Manning notched 2,951 career points — the best any player has ever accomplished at Kansas by a long shot. The next best is Nick Collison, who totaled 2,097. Chamberlain had 1,433 career points, before the three-point shot was invented.
However, Chamberlain still holds the record for highest career scoring average with 29.9 points per game.
BEST OF THE REST
BEST OF THE REST Even after his retirement in 2006, Falkenstein said he swears he has only missed one game. Kansas has played about.2,000 games between 1946 and 2015.

"There have been a lot of spectacular finishes and some heartbreaks, too," fallenstein said.

The best game of all? Without missing a beat, Falkenstien said the final game against Missouri in 2012.
"There was just so much emotion involved in that game," Falkenstien said. "We were 17 points behind at one stage and made the great comeback. T-Rob (Thomas Robinson) blocked the shot at the finish that preserved the victory for KU. It was so satisfying to make up that huge deficit and beat the hated Tigers in their last visit ever to Lawrence, Kansas."
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
There were two other games that stick out in Falkenstien's mind: He remembers Bud Stallworth's 50 points in his final game as a Jayhawk in 1972. He smiled when talking about the 1993 Indiana game when then-freshman Jacque Vaughn hit a three-pointer to win it in overtime.
ENDING
HIS JOURNEY
Former Kansas basketball announcer Max Falkenstein smiles in relief after the Jayhawks defeated Missouri 87-86 in February 2012 in the final Border War. Falkenstein said that his favorite game
March 1, 2006, wasn't just any game for Falkenstien. It was the last time he would call a game in Allen Fieldhouse.
As he made his way toward his seat, the student section held up newspapers that read, "Thanks, Max."
At halftime, many former players came back and stood with him on the court as a jersey with the No. 60 wung in the rafters.
"I sort of thought they might do something special, but I didn't anticipate having my jersey
hanging in the fieldhouse," Falkenstien said. "It was a wonderful feeling to be recognized up there with all the great athletes who have worn the KU crimson and blue as a singular honor."
That was his last game in Allen Fieldhouse, but Falkenstien called four more games that year before the Jayhawks abruptly ended their season against Bradley in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
After Falkenstien retired, he wrote a book, "A Good
Place to Stop."
"I had set a goal of finishing 60 years and thought that would be a good place to put it to bed." Falkenstien said. "It turned out that it was a terrible title for my book because two years after I quit, we won the Orange Bowl and the National Championship in basketball in the same year. I thought, 'What the hell, I should have stayed two more years.' Then it really would have been a good place to stop."

Since its dedication in 1955, Allen Fieldhouse has been home to many generations of Kansas basketball. From Darnell Valentine to Andrew Wiggins, from Bud Stallworth to Paul Pierce, there has been no shortage of NBA-level talent playing at home in the Phog, a place where the names of the truly great hang up in the rafters.
Many Kansas legends have dramatically different backgrounds. Mario Chalmers, the most recent member of the retired-jersey club, was given the distinction in 2013, following a well-documented three-year college career. It was easy to see that Chalmers was going to be a special player right away, as he averaged nearly 12 points and four assists per game, in addition to providing lockdown defense.
Chalmers' numbers never really differed by a significant margin, but as an all-around player, he was simply superb. After all, it isn't luck that his career culminated in the 2008 National Championship game when he hit the game-tying shot with 2.1 seconds left. The rest is history.
It would be negligent to talk about the Kansas legends and not talk about one of the first Jayhawks to play in Allen Fieldhouse: Wilt Chamberlain. During his time at Kansas, Chamber-
on that list, Paul Pierce, is 10 spots and 5,732 points below Chamberlain. Chamberlain is also the NBAs all-time leading rebounder. He's ahead of all active NBA players by more than 9,000 rebounds.
Danny Manning gave Kansas championships both as a player in 1988 and a coach in 2008. Manning
It would be negligent to talk about the Kansas legends and not talk about one of the first Jayhawks to play in Allen Fieldhouse: Wilt Chamberlain.
While Chamberlain's greatness extended all the way to the NBA, where he sits at fifth in total points scored, behind only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. The next Jayhawk

served as an assistant coach from 2006-12,coaching the Jayhawks to two national championship appearances,but his time as a player was far more memorable. In 1988,Manning led the Jayhawks to their second national championship (their fourth, counting pre NCAA tournament Helms championships).

Following his senior campaign when he averaged nearly 25 points and nine rebounds per game, Manning became the first Jayhawk to be the number one overall pick in the NBA draft when he was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers.
MATT SLOCUM/JASSOCIATED PRESS
Mario Chalmers celebrates a play during the 2006 Big I2
Championship.
Like the others whose jerseys hang in the rafters, Chalmers, Manning and Chamberlain were all winners, but others have been a big part of Kansas' winning ways, even without seeing that individual recognition. Sherron Collins became the winningest player in Kansas history in 2010 with a record of 130-19 before his record was broken by Tyrel Reed a couple of years later. In college, Reed had a 132-17 record and lost just one game in Allen Fieldhouse.
Simply put, it would be impossible to name every Jayhawk who has contributed to the home dominance that Kansas has experienced decade after decade. Players like Kirk Hinrich, Nick Collison, Brandon Rush and Thomas Robinson have seemed to filter in and out, each making plenty of unique memories along the way.
Some of the greatest legends have been coaches, not players, including current coach Bill Self, who has suffered just nine losses in his 12 seasons at the University. Self's winning percentage at Allen Fieldhouse, which is above 95 percent, continues to be one of the most impressive accolades in all of college basketball, and the Jayhawks are just a couple of home games away from another perfect season in the Phog.

MEET THE BRAINS BEHIND THE OPERATION OF THE MEN'S BASKETBALL INTRO VIDEOS
When Kansas basketball fans think of the introduction video played before the starting line-up announcement, they think of the chills that run down their spines.
BLAIR SHEADE
@REALBLAIRSHEADY
The "goose bumps" feeling is what Douglas Shepperd, lead composer of the Kansas men's basketball introduction videos, is looking for when creating the ultimate introduction video. The feeling needs to provide energy for the fans, he said.
The video needs to encompass the right amount of history with a mixture of what Shepperd likes to call "dope" music. He estimates the music is 80 percent of what makes
the video.
"It's weird saying audio is 80 percent of a video, but in the environment that it's played and the timing that it's played, I feel like the music coupled with the clips that Kansas fans know and love can lift it to the next level," Shepperd said. "That's when it gets super exciting."
In 2005, when the videoboard debuted in the Allen Fieldhouse, the background music to the introduction video was a U2 hit, "Where the Streets Have No Name."
The song heard in today's video is "Requiem for a Dream" by Lux Aeterna.
The Kansas players feed off the crowd's reaction from the videos. Perry Ellis said he has a great time
watching the introduction videos before every home game.
"I can't think at the top of my head the last time we didn't use those guys in [the video]." Shepperd said. "Those guys almost have to be in there."
"Just, hearing the fans get pumped up about it, for highlights from all the previous people that have been here, it gets us motivated and gets us ready for the game," Ellis said.

Even Bill Self recognizes the role of the introduction video. Self said he knows which video clips are coming and he still gets excited.
"I know exactly what's going to happen," Self said. "I know Paul Pierce is going to go baseline and dunk it. I know Mario (Chalmers) is going to get a pitch-back and make a three. Then you obviously get a chance to hear the Bob Davis voice-over. That's what gets
me excited."

People can say the intro video encompasses everything Kansas basketball is, so it's a small part of the tradition and history here."

The Lawrence Police Department is asking for assistance in finding Rachael Ann Hampton, a student at the University, and Robert Alan Long, two of the three suspects involved in the Feb. 8 shooting near the University's campus, according to a press release from the department.
The suspects are wanted on charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary. The third suspect, Caleb Christman, was previously identified and is being held in custody, said Sgt. Trent McKinley of the Lawrence Police Department.
Further information has yet to be released but police are asking for tips to find these two individuals, whom they consider to be armed and dangerous.
Chrisman is charged with aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and three counts of aggravated kidnapping.
Anyone with information on Hampton or Long's whereabouts is asked to call the Lawrence Police
Department at 785-832-7509 or Douglas County CrimeStoppers at 785-843-TIPS(8477). Calls made to CrimeStoppers may be made anonymously and callers providing information that leads to an arrest may qualify for a reward of up to $1,000.
The suspects allegedly shot and wounded three individuals Feb. 8, two of which are University students. All victims have since been released from Kansas City area hospitals.
Two of the shooters were reported to have fled toward campus that evening, prompting the following alert to be released from the University on Feb. 8:
'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 Amber Student Recreation Fitness Center, but do not believe the suspect is on campus.

School of Music community reacts to sexual battery case

It is hard for many to imagine an alleged sexual assault incident occurring so close to home, but for students in the University's School of Music, an alleged incident of aggravated sexual battery and criminal restraint from November hit their tight-knit community hard.
Junior Rachel Frish from Dallas, a member of the marching band, said she first heard about the alleged incident from her friends in the School of Music. Frish said she remembers students speaking in hushed tones like they weren't supposed to talk about it, but all wanted to know what had happened.
"It's like a high school." Frish said. "It's a small community. Everybody really knows everybody, so it's hard to kind of be

in the music school in some capacity without being affected by it"
The alleged victim said the man invited her to his apartment for a vocal lesson, handcuffed her and proceeded to lift her shirt, touch her breasts and kiss her chest against her will, according to court documents.
The suspect was arrested Nov. 11 but released the following day after posting a $40,000 bail
day after posting a $40,000 claim. According to court documents, it was ruled that the victim and the defendant could attend classes together, but were to have no contact.
His next court appearance is May 1 and his trial is scheduled for May 11.
"Everyone at this point has been through the ringer with all of this..." Frish said. "I think everyone gets really hyped about it, finds out everything they want to know and then sweeps it under the rug, like, 'OK, we're done. That's enough for now. I don't need anymore.'"
Months after the original incident, Frish said she feels that people are tired of hearing about the crime; the problem is that much more discussions about sexual violence need to take place, she said.
Frish said she hopes the campus can take this incident and factor it into a larger conversation that needs to happen, but she doesn't know exactly what that conversation will look like. One thing Frish noted was the difficulty of determining what's going to be a bad situation, especially when they involve people you know.

MURPHY HALL
A former University School of Music student is set to stand trial on charges of aggravated sexual battery and criminal restraint following an off-campus incident involving another music student.
ASSAULT FROM PAGE 1
stupid, this wouldn't have happened," Frish said. "But ... if they had known each other and it was a very easy, chill, 'Hey come to my apartment, we'll get it done and we'll still get credit' kind of thing, that doesn't sound stupid to me."
The 22-year-old alleged respondent withdrew from the University on Feb. 3, four days after being bound over in court. On Jan. 30, Douglas County Judge Sally Pokorny ruled the man would stand trial after hearing probable cause from the alleged victim and Lawrence police officer Tim Froese.
The former student was also employed by the University's Public Safety Office as an hourly employee from Sept. 16,2011, until May 12,2012, said Alo Faucher, director of Human Resources for the
University.
The former student declined to comment on his trial or the accusations made against him. His lawyer was unavailable for comment. The Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, the office of the University that investigates sexual assaults, would not confirm whether it is currently investigating the case.
Gabby Olivarez, a senior from Olathe majoring in music education, was no stranger to the former student accused of the crime. She said she and her boyfriend were friends with the man.
confused as to why they were distancing themselves from him. He didn't understand why things couldn't be the same; at least that's what I perceived. He just seemed angry and hurt by us, I guess."
"I tried to explain to him that it was difficult for me to try to understand the situation or feel comfortable with it," Olivarez said. "I think he felt betrayed by his peers and
Olivarez said after the incident, he came back to school and was upset with her when she wouldn't sit by him in class.
Olivarez said she didn't feel scared to be near the man, but it was the idea that she could have misjudged him that was scary to her.
She also said she was bothered by a couple of issues surrounding the incident. First, she was bothered that the victim and the alleged predator were allowed to be in class together after the alleged crime. Second, Olivarez said she felt that the school should have said something to the students regarding the alleged crime.
seely to me.
"I always felt that [sexual assault] was terrible, but I think it really scared me that I was so close to him and he was capable of doing that and I had no idea or had no foresight," Olivarze said.
"I feel like the school of music should have at least said something." Olivarez said. "I was confiding in my bassoon professor and he knew about it so the faculty had definitely discussed it, but nothing was said to the students on behalf of the faculty."
Dean Robert Walzel of the School of Music said he wasn't sure exactly when he learned of the incident, but the day after reading about the Jan. 30 court appearance in the newspaper, he sent an email out to all of his faculty and staff, urging them to report any strange behavior by students and consider safety of all assignments and activities students might find themselves a part of.
"I do know that our faculty is very much concerned for the safety of our students and we don't want to subject them unfairly, but at the same time you know the behavior of the student, this is something
that I think caught all of us by surprise," Walzel said. "Even the ones who knew him, they were surprised by this."
Walzel also said he and his leadership team have began discussions stemming from the incident and they are still trying to decide what approach would be best to further the conversation.
As for his thoughts on the vocal lesson assignment that played a part in this crime, Walzel said he and the faculty don't believe the assignment caused the crime.
"This was an individual who was a predator who had obviously or seemingly thought about how he could do what he did, and you know the fact that it was in a school context..." he said. "But at the same time, you know, we can't shut down the activities that we ask students to do."

Skipping class is costly on multiple levels
@kat_hart9
College students wakesup every morning with two options: to go to class or not to go to class. However, they should know that they could be losing more than just a learning opportunity by skipping a lecture.
KATHERINE HARTLEY
According to the estimation of tuition and fees on the University's financial aid and scholarships website, a first-time freshman who is a Kansas resident pays $318.25 per credit hour. A student taking the suggested 15 credit hours per semester is paying more than $9,500 a year in tuition alone.
Every time students skip a class, they are essentially wasting the money that went into paying for that specific credit hour.
Campus fees are also charged by the credit hour, unless a student is taking more than six. So while campus fees are an additional $75.01 per credit hour, students taking six or more hours just pay a flat rate of $450.04 per semester.
Once these numbers are added, divided and broken
Joseph Erba, a Strategic Communications professor who comes from the Mediterranean island of Corsica, has a fairly strict policy on his students attending class. He did his undergraduate at the University of Corsica, which is open access and free of tuition, meaning that any student who graduates from high school automatically holds a spot at the university.
"So then I came here and I realized, first of all entering a university is not that simple.
down, it turns out that every class a student sits in can cost from $25 to $35. This is an estimate and varies based on the number of credits being taken and the additional costs of certain majors.
"Clearly engineering or business classes are going to be more expensive than an English class," said Brian McDow, senior associate director of KU's Enrollment Systems Integration. "There's a lot of moving parts in our tuition."
The general idea is that students are losing more than just a missed class when they don't show up.

SUMMER 1947
RILEY MORTENSEN/KANSAN
This is the book where University student Zach Hill found a handwritten letter from famous illustrator Norman Rockwell.
Dear Mr. Mears:
Thank you for your very interesting letter.
I received a lot of amusement from it. Thank you very much.
Norman Rochardt
RILEY MORTENSEN/KANSAN
A University student found this Norman Rockwell signature inside a book in a Kansas City bookstore. The signature is worth an estimated $350 to $700.
LETTER FROM PAGE 1
dated March 23, 1960, read "Dear Mr. Mears: Thank you for your very interesting letter. I received a lot of amusement from it. Thank you very much. Sincerely yours, Norman Rockwell."
The letter was marked $50 and the book was $10. Hill said he was unsure of the signature's authenticity and went back and forth with the idea of buying it. He called his dad, a high school art teacher in the family's hometown of Sabetha, figuring he would have a pretty good opinion on it.
"He said go ahead and buy it," Hill said. "If it is authentic, that's a net gain on your part of at least $400. If it isn't then it's a net loss of 30 bucks, so $400 versus $30, which one sounds better to you?"
Hill said his father made a convincing argument, so he decided to buy the book and the letter. The next day, Hill contacted a few of the instructors in the design department asking for help authenticating the signature.
Associate Professor Richard Varney emailed Hill several samples of Rockwell's signature pointing out the similarities between them. There were subtle inconsistencies, Hill said, but there are also characteristics to each person's signature that make it uniquely their own.
"They're so consistent that if that is indeed a forged
signature, it is a pretty damn good one," Hill said.
With the help of his instructors and several art historians from the Spencer Museum, Hill concluded that the signature is more than likely authentic and, if sold, could fetch a price of anywhere from $350-700
"This one's just in really, really good condition overall," Hill said. "It's probably more along the lines of $700, but at least bare minimum $500 is what it could probably go for online to a collector."
After finding out how much the letter could be worth, Hill felt a little guilty that the bookstore had been cheated out of close to $650. But he had always admired the "Four Freedoms" artist, so his discovery meant much more to him than money.
"I can't tell you how many different projects I've done over the past couple of years where Rockwell has been the inspiration for it," Hill said.
As far as what's next, Hill said he's definitely going to keep the letter and book for now.
"It's one of those that I will never find another one ever," Hill said. "If I ever sell it or give it to someone I'll make sure that it's someone who will appreciate it and take care of it, but for now, I think I'll hold on to it."

America needs fairer maternity leave laws
Gabe Sprague
@SpragueGabe
W when women become pregnant, the
pregnant, their lives are altered drastically. Not only do their bodies have to bear the stress of creating a new person, they also have to make adjustments in their daily lives to take care of the child, before and after birth. In these times of great change, mothers should not have to fear the loss of their jobs or that they may not be provided health care.
opportunities and support from our government as men; however, there's a lack of legal support in the US for women during and after a pregnancy.
According to the New Yorker, only three countries in the world do not have mandatory paid maternity leave in the workplace: Papua New Guinea, Oman and the United States. Some argue that women have the same
The Institute for Women's Policy Research, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor Women's Bureau, reports that nearly every member of the European Union provides at least 14 weeks of paid maternity leave to new mothers. The United States is the only developed country to not provide paid maternity leave.
The United States did enact the Family and Medical Leave Act in 1993; for those eligible, the law allows 12 weeks of unpaid leave for a woman who becomes pregnant or for people needing to tend to ill family members. Many low-
wage workers cannot take advantage of this law, and as a result, may have to work while under large amounts of stress, either having to find someone to watch their kids or pay for daycare. Some may have to quit their job if they have no other means of support.
The government should implement a law that provides mandatory paid maternity leave. This law could be a small step toward providing women with an adequate lawful maternity protection.
The United States health care system also creates a disadvantage for uninsured pregnant mothers. If a woman is insured and becomes pregnant, many of her medical expenses will be paid for. However, if a woman is uninsured and
becomes pregnant, she is unable to acquire health insurance until after the baby is born. As stated on the government healthcare website, pregnancy does not count as a "life event" and thus cannot qualify a person to receive health insurance after the yearly enrollment period, which ended this year on Feb.15.
Any woman who becomes pregnant between now and the next enrollment period cannot receive financial aid for prenatal care, placing many mothers in difficult positions. Many women may not be able to afford prenatal care and may decide to go without it. A report released by the nonprofit organization Young Invincibles said going without prenatal care could put the mother and the child at risk of many health
complications that could be fatal to the mother and/or the fetus. Health care officials need to alter this rule to allow women to enroll as soon as they become pregnant.
Many lawmakers have disregarded the fact that pregnancy puts women into difficult positions. We need to take another look at how our laws are affecting equal opportunity and the health of women within the workplace and at home. Implementing paid maternity leave and altering the health care laws to allow women to enroll whenever they become pregnant are two solutions to sustaining women during an extremely difficult, lifealtering circumstance.

What's the best way to make a good impression for internship interviews?
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritz
Interviews are one of the most nerve-wracking experiences college students have to go through. Not only do you have to give a better impression of yourself than you actually are (let's face it—in our 20s, our natural state consists of ignoring responsibilities and binge-watching Netflix), but you have to give that impression in a small timeframe.
To achieve the ultimate facade of being a well- rounded, put together college student, you need to do your homework on the company. Google the company and browse its website. Even try to dig into the specific area you are interested in. Usually companies will give a little spiel on what they are and what they do, and being able to show them that you are already familiar with them will make you look educated and on top of things. It also indicates how bad you want

are you supposed to gain respect and get work done in a professional setting? Being able to fully articulate and converse with someone in a position of authority translates into being professional and mature, which is an area many young adults struggle with.

Society must steer away from unhealthy food culture
From conducting my own interviews and knowing adults who run their own businesses, I am amazed how many people do not know how to dress appropriately for a professional setting. Here is a quick rule of thumb. If you have worn your outfit to a bar or to a nightclub, do not wear it to an interview. Before you even open your mouth, the interviewer has already judged you and formed a preset idea of who you are based on your clothing. Skirts that are too short, blouses that show too much cleavage, wrinkly button downs and slacks without belts have been the downfall of way too many students trying to get internships. You will be judged harshly if not dressed appropriately.
Companies don't only look for someone with the highest GPA (which is important, don't get me wrong). What they search for is someone who can hold his or her own during the interview and someone who has the confidence and drive to make a difference in their company — even as an intern. Exuding these qualities all while wearing a killer blazer or pencil skirt that actually fits appropriately is how one attains the ultimate lasting impression.
Sebastian Schoneich
@ThingsSebiThink
I'm sort of a food snob, and I'm grateful that I can be one. I also know that if I weren't, my Italian grandmother would disown me. Because of this, I cringe every time I read about the "real" ingredients found in some items at the supermarket. What kinds of ingredients are going into the foods that don't claim to be made from "real" ingredients?
"Real cheese" in Cheez-Its, "real juice" in orange juice and "real tomatoes" in ketchup — the list goes on. Should we be worried about products that don't have "made with real ___" written on the package?
Our grandparents would balk at those kinds of labels. They lived in a time in which food came from fields, not factories. If you wanted pizza, you'd make it instead of buying it in a box. Supermarkets sold items found on a food pyramid and didn't have all the varieties of pre-made foods that take up most of supermarket space these days.
By now, this food culture is so normal that we rarely stop to think about whether something might be wrong with it. Too many products in our food industry contain modified ingredients or substitutes for the real ingredients. Velveeta cheese, for example, is not cheese. It's
a mixture of ingredients
— including things found
in cheese, such as milk
—and a ton of additives that render it easy to melt. Nonetheless, it's a profitable product, making Kraft more than $500 million per year, according to Organic Authority. It seems that economic motives drive this kind of culture — the idea that it's more profitable to sell something that resembles the real deal, but is actually made with cheaper substitutes.
This, however, only works if consumers actually buy these products. Today, too many Americans don't really care about what is going into their bodies, or they don't have a choice. The success of the fast-food industry, the choices of foods that we encounter in supermarkets and the
culture that makes people indifferent to what goes into their stomachs, as long as it doesn't cost much and doesn't take long to prepare. A 2013 Gallup poll reports that "Eight in 10 Americans report eating at fast-food restaurants at least monthly, with almost half saying they eat fast food at least weekly. Only 4 percent say they never eat at fast-food restaurants." The poll continues to report that those aged 18 to 29 eat fast food the most often, "with 57 percent saying they do so at least weekly."
Eating is one of the most basic things humans do, and we should care about what goes in our bodies. But a cultural tendency to prefer immediacy and ease over taking time to think things out has
obesity epidemic, are all indicators of a food culture issue in our country.
There is not as strong of a food culture as there used to be. Some people can't afford to buy foods that aren't on the cheaper end, and there are several other factors contributing to why people choose unhealthy food options. But laziness has also contributed to a
"EATING IS ONE OF THE MOST BASIC THINGS HUMANS DO, AND WE SHOULD CARE ABOUT WHAT GOES IN OUR BODIES. BUT A CULTURAL TENDENCY TO PREFER IMMEDIACY AND EASE OVER TAKING TIME TO THINK THINGS OUT HAS RELEGATED EATING TO A LESS IMPORTANT PART OF OUR DAILY LIVES."
relegated eating to a less important part of our daily lives. If eating can become more valuable than it is in America today, people would spend more time thinking about what to eat, cook more and ultimately live healthier lives.

Betty Ultimate team member Sydney Nelson tosses the frisbee during a routine practice.
They aim to peak then and hopefully make it to nationals, she said. Until then, the women will continue to practice regularly in preparation for each tournament, which includes occasional weekend scrimmages with the men's team and weight room workouts.
"We do lots of practicing, lots of going over plays," Mechaird said. "The coach will do a walk through of each play over and over again to make sure that everyone understands the terminology and make sure everyone is confident going into the tournaments, ready to give it our all no matter what."
While the women are off the field they continue to stay close and share in the Ultimate community that they all love. Freshman Samantha Agranoff from St. Paul, Minn., said she enjoys Ultimate because players aren't solely focused on winning.
"I love this sport because there's such a big focus on the spirit of the game, meaning that the motivating factor for players to play is their own love for it," Agranoff said. Agranoff is very close

the early months of the year. Yedo said the team will typically only cancel practice if there is a lot of rain or if it is currently snowing. "Last year we actually had a practice where we went out and we had 13 snow shovels and we shoveled off LHS football field so that we could have practice," Yedo said. Unlike most sports, Ultimate Frisbee is self-officiated by the players themselves. This holds the players to a higher standard, given that they have to rely on one another to regulate the rules of the game. "It's a very competitive sport," Finkelstein said. "You've got a bunch of college kids running around competing against each other, but it's self-officiated so the spirit of the game really comes in with people being honest with the rules and with each other and not getting overly competitive and angry. There aren't any references or anyone to kind of break up disputes or fights. It relies on yourself and how to stay respectful to yourself and to the game."
to her teammates and that they have made a big difference in her college experience, she said. "During practice and downtime at tournaments, the friendships and bonds that are developed are insanely close," Agranoff said. "This team has been a huge help in my adjustment to college. They're such genuine and fun people to be around."
MEN'S TEAM -
HORROR ZONTALS
This past weekend, the Horror Zontals took their farthest trip yet to compete in Baltimore at the Booya's Spring Stampede 2015, where the team went undefeated. This is one of the eight tournaments the team plans to compete in during its spring season.
President of the Horror
Zontals, junior Jakob Yedo from Mission, said many of the team's four and five-year veterans graduated last year and the team is now working to rebuild. "We're definitely hurting without them," Yedo said. "But we're trying to get everyone up to speed." Although the team remains unranked, the players maintain a positive attitude towards the season. The team's captain, junior Jason Finkelstein from Hopkins, Minn., said the team has done well so far this season, even though they have not traveled to a tournament as a full team yet, due to injuries and school related conflicts. Like the Bettys, the Horror Zontals practice weekly, even through the colder winter temperatures. The team goes outside and

Kansas tennis looks to remain perfect at home
JACOB CLEMEN
@iclemn9
Kansas looks for its second straight win at home when it hosts Big 10 opponent Iowa, Monday at 3 p.m. at the Jayhawk Tennis Center. The Jayhawks are looking to improve on their 1-0 home record this season after they defeated Houston (4-3) Feb. 14 in an exciting back-and-forth affair.
Both teams are looking to reverse fortune as they both come into play with losing streaks. Kansas dropped a pair of matches to ranked opponents in a weekend road trip to Colorado, Feb.
21-22. Kansas fell to Denver 6-1 and Colorado 4-2. Meanwhile, Iowa dropped to 4-3 overall on the season after a three-game losing streak following two consecutive home losses and a road loss to Oregon.
The Hawkeyes own a lead in the overall series, 9-7, after winning the last six meetings between the two programs and is 1-1 on the season against Big 12 opponents after defeating Iowa State 4-1 and falling 4-0 to Oklahoma.
in singles on the season.
The Jayhawks are led by junior Maria Jose Cardona in their No.1 singles and doubles spot. Cardona is 3-4
in singles on the season.
Senior Shelby Talcott leads the Hawkeyes and boasts a 5-2 record in the No.1 singles position after a 5-0 start to the season.
Kansas must also contend with fellow senior Morven McCulloch who has a 5-1 record in singles play in the No.2 singles slot.
Taking the doubles point will be crucial for Kansas' chances on Monday as the Hawkeyes have won every match in which they took the doubles point and dropped every match they conceded it.

Sophomore guard Seanna Johnson averages 11.4 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. Johnson ranks second in the Big 12 in rebounds per game.
Gardner leads Kansas averaging 16.6 points per game, which ranks Gardner
third in the Big 12 in scoring. Knight averages 12.7 points and 3.8 assists per game. Both Knight and Gardner have reached the 1,000 point mark in their careers at Kansas.
Kansas currently sits in a tie with Texas Tech for ninth place in the conference with a 5-12 record. Kansas is just one game behind Kansas State for eighth place. With a Kansas win against Iowa State, Kansas can move up in the standings, which will help its seeding in the Big 12 Tournament starting on Friday in Dallas.
Tuesday will mark the end of the regular season in the Big 12. Kansas could see themselves climb as high as the seventh seed or fall to the 10th seed in the tournament.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
MISSING DATA

Vahe Gregoriah Kansas City Star
Perry Ellis has scored in double figures every game since Jan. 31 against Kansas State.
FACT OF THE DAY

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many consecutive games has Perry Ellis scored in double figures?
THE MORNING BREW
ESPN
Perry Ellis is making a push for Big 12 Player of the Year
After a slow start to begin conference play, junior forward Perry Ellis is playing
Forward Perry Ellis is playing better than anybody in the conference. Ellis is not a flashy player by any means. He goes about his business every night, but his numbers are loud. His late-season surge all of the sudden has made him the frontrunner for Big 12 Player of the Year.
In conference play, Ellis is averaging 16 points and eight rebounds per game, and has been the Jayhawks' only consistent post player. Coach Bill Self is of the mindset that Ellis is the best player in the league.
"We're playing with the best player in the league right now." Self told the Lawrence Journal-World. "Right now, Perry Ellis is the best player in the league."
Ellis certainly has a lot of that. Since Valentine's Day, Ellis is averaging 22 points and eight rebounds. Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky, who may win the Big Ten Player of the Year, is averaging 20 points and eight rebounds.
Evan Riggs

league. Momentum always plays a crucial role in who wins this award, and
His momentum has skyrocketed since he missed a potential game-winning layup at West Virginia, and the criticism of Ellis reached
an all-time high. In the three games since, he has averaged 25 points and 10 rebounds per game. The lajayhaws do not have another legitimate scoring option in the post, so Ellis has been a necessity, not a luxury.
With the depth of the Big 12, there are other players who deserve consideration.
Iowa State's Georges Niang is averaging 14 points per game in conference play. West Virginia's Juwan Staten is averaging 11 points and four assists per game. Oklahoma guard Buddy Hield is averaging 18 points and seven rebounds per game.
seven rebounders per game Oklahoma State's LeBryan Nash and Phil Forte III are averaging 16 and 17 points per game, respectively. But, Oklahoma State is just 7-9 in conference play, and that is not good enough for a player to win player of the year, unless he is by far the best player
in the conference, like Michael Beasley was for Kansas State in 2008.
Ellis has proven in the last month that he is more deserving than any of these players.
During the Jayhawks' streak of 10 straight conference titles, they have only had three guys win the award: Wayne Simien in 2005, Marcus Morris in 2011 and Thomas Robinson in 2012.
The Jayhawks have been the most balanced scoring team in the Big 12 during that streak, and it is baffling that the best player on the best team has not won it more than three times.
As the season wanes, every game has become more important for the Jayhawks. Ellis has answered the bell and is willing them to the finish line of an 11th-consecutive league title. If that doesn't warrant player of the year, I'm not sure what does.

Rainy weather shortens Kansas softball's 3-0 weekend in Florida
IDEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
After contending with schedule changes and weather delays, the No. 25 Jayhawks emerged from the UNF Home Tournament in Jacksonville, Fla., unscathed. Kansas won all three games it was able to play, giving it a 17-1 record on the year. Kansas' two scheduled games against South Dakota were rained out.
The Jayhawks began the weekend by defeating the Stony Brook Seawolves by a score of 5-4 in 10 innings Friday. Freshman Jessie Roane won the game for Kansas by hitting an RBI single that scored senior Chanin Naudin to win the game.
Kansas coach Megan Smith said the team was hitting well
but wasn't able to finish and score.
"I thought we had good at-bats." Smith said. "We just didn't execute with runners in scoring-position early in the game."
Kansas struggled offensively in the second game Friday with a 1-0 win against tournament host, North Florida. Thankfully, senior ace pitcher Alicia Pille saved the game with a one-hit shutout, her second of the season.
"That was very stressful." Smith said. "Offensively we came out hot that first inning and I thought, 'OK, here we go,' and then we just absolutely went to sleep and relied on Pille."
Pille was able to secure the win for Kansas, but Smith knows the senior won't always be able to do so on her own.
"She had a great game — the best I've seen her throw all year," Smith said. "You can't put it all on her shoulders, but we did that [Friday] and can't do that again."
Saturday morning the majority of Kansas' game against Siena was played in the fourth inning. In that inning alone both teams combined to hit eight of the game's 16 hits, scored 13 of the game's 16 total runs and saw 20 plate appearances.
Kansas used four different pitchers to stop a big stretch from Siena, which scored six runs. Kansas followed up and scored seven runs in that inning to finally rally past Siena to win 9-7. It was the team's 17th win of the season.
After the team struggled defensively in the top of the fourth inning, Smith said the
team was determined to come back on offense.
"We got a big punch in the gut from Siena," Smith said. "They had a great inning. Then our offense came out more focused and stuck to the game plan that inning."
Rainy weather in Jacksonville on Sunday prevented the Jayhawks from playing their final two games against South Dakota.
The Jayhawks will spend the week preparing for the Stetson Tournament in Deland, Fla., where they will face off against La Salle, Chattanooga and Stetson starting Friday. This will be the last weekend away before the Jayhawks return to Lawrence to play on the new Arrocha Ballpark in the Rock Chalk Park complex.

BASKETBALL REWIND
HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
It was certainly a back-and-forth affair in the first half, as neither team held more than a three-point lead at any point. Perry Ellis, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Frank Mason Ill combined for 29 of the team's 31 first-half points, while Texas was the beneficiary of a much more balanced effort. The Longhorns had six players score in the first half, and at the break, none of the players had more than 10 points or three made field goals.
2ND HALF
After the momentum shifted in each direction a few more times, the Jayhawks finally took control of the game, as Mason buried a huge three, which came in the midst of an 8-2 spurt. Isaiah Taylor scored 10 of his 17 points in the second half, but it wasn't enough, as Perry Ellis went for 14 points and seven rebounds in the final period alone, while Oubre and Selden added seven points apiece.
GAME TO REMEMBER
Nevada Real Estate Broker
Perry Ellis
Ellis continued to be a man on a mission, and he was certainly a force on offense all night. The forward from Wichita scored a game-high 28 points, which included a stretch in the first half where he scored 10-straight points for the Jayhawks. Ellis led the team in just about every category (points, field goals, rebounds, blocks, steals) in what was certainly a dominant showing.
GAME TO FORGET
B. JOHNSON
Jamari Traylor
Traylor had the opportunity to earn some minutes back, as Cliff Alexander was held out of the game due to what was described as a potential NCAA issue. Instead, he played one of his worst games of the year. In 11 minutes, Traylor recorded a grand total of two rebounds and two fouls, while failing to score a point or rack up an assist. Traylor was the only Jayhawk to play at least five minutes of the game and finish with a negative plus/minus.
UNSUNG HERO
Frank Mason III
It wasn't the best shooting day for the Kansas point guard, but Mason did all of the little things required to get the win. In a game-high 39 minutes, Mason registered 12 points, four rebounds and three assists. He also had one of the most important plays in the game, when he buried a three-point shot, as he put the Jayhawks ahead 56-54. Kansas had been trailing, but after that shot, the team would not give up the lead the rest of the way, as it went on to win by five.

COMMENTARY Kansas inches closer to 11th consecutive title
Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein
W 1.6 seconds remaining in the second half, the camera flashed to coach Bill Self. Self was smiling and clapping with approval as junior forward Jamari Traylor toed the free-throw line. Headed into Kansas' final home game against West Virginia, the Jayhawks have a chance to increase the nation's longest active conference title streak.
With 6:20 left to play in the second half, sophomore guard Frank Mason III knocked in Kansas' first three-pointer of the game. Magon's third also gave the Jayhawks their first lead since the first half. It was the last lead change of a game that included 19 as Kansas went on to win 69-64.
More importantly, Mason's three put Kansas in a position to win and to increase its lead atop the Big 12. However, this was not the only factor in Kansas' inching closer to another conference ring Saturday evening.
During halftime, the Jayhawks' hopes of winning an 11th straight regular season Big 12 title became a lot more real. Much to the approval of another sold-out crowd, the score of the Kansas State-Iowa State game was put on the Jumbotron. The Wildcats defeated the Cyclones, 70-69 in Bramlage Coliseum.
"We've got some help from Baylor and Kansas State," Self said. "It will be nice to get to play for something Tuesday. It should be a pretty electric atmosphere."
Junior forward Perry Ellis throws the ball down during the first half of the Jayhawk's game against Texas. Ellis scored a game high 28 points and had 13 rebounds to complete the double-double Saurday in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas rallied from down six to win 69-64.
Ellis finished the game with a season-high 28 points on 9-of-21 shooting, while adding 13 rebounds. Ellis will have revenge on his mind Tuesday night as he missed the go ahead basket at the buzzer in Kansas' loss at West Virginia. If Kansas wins, at least a share of an 11th consecutive Big 12 trophy will live in Lawrence.
"That was a heck of a college game that just came down to one or two possessions," Self said. "We rode Perry as hard as we've ever ridden him. He's playing as good as anyone else in the country."
This left Kansas only two home wins away from securing yet another championship. Kansas' clinching of a 10th straight Big 12 title took place in a rout of the Longhorns last season at home. The Jayhawks will now have a chance to clinch a share of an 11th straight title at home against West Virginia.
Although Alexander has been struggling as of late, the presence of his big body was missed in the lane against the likes of Cameron Ridley and Myles Turner. Junior forward Perry Ellis was responsible for carrying the load down low, as usual.
Kansas took on the Longhorns without freshman phenom forward Cliff Alexander. Alexander was a late scratch from both the starting lineup and the game due to eligibility issues.
"We had a talk before the game about not being the team to end the streak," Mason said.
Kansas will look to seek revenge against the Mountaineers after a tough road loss at the buzzer earlier this month.

If analytics meant everything Saturday, 14 shots-blocked and just 1-of-8 three-point shooting would have been the undoing of No. 8 Kansas (23-6, 12-4) on its home floor.
But it didn't, as the Jayhawks upended the Texas Longhorns (17-12, 6-10), 69-64, despite trailing for 20:39 of the game's 40 minutes.
"We didn't play great," coach Bill Self said following the victory. "But the reason we didn't play great was that [Texas] played really well. When you have somebody guard you, somebody rebounds and somebody executes, it's hard to look good all the time."
Self later said Texas could defeat just about anybody.
"I'm disappointed for our guys," Texas coach Rick Barnes said in the aftermath of the loss. "They deserved some better fate, but it didn't happen."
All afternoon long, the jayhawks bashed into the Texas defense like a battering ram would a barricade. They did this countless times
— often unsuccessfully mainly out of necessity. The Jayhawks couldn't find their usual stroke from three, so the plan of attack was into the teeth of the Texas defense.
"I thought Rick (Barnes) did something that was really smart — make us play inside the arc," Self said. "He played man every possession."
In the postgame press conference, Self noted the Jayhawks' only successful three from sophomore guard Frank Mason III with just 6.33 to go on top of the key; it gave Kansas one of its few leads.
"We played from behind the whole game," Self said. "But we played pretty smart offensively."
When layhawks can't score from deep, more times than not, they find themselves in
hot, if not boiling, water.
In early February, Kansas shot just 3-of-11 in the second half en route to a 67-62 loss at Oklahoma State. In Monday's loss to Kansas State, the Jayhawks shot just 2-of-13 from three. In its worst Big 12 shooting performance since Feb. 20, 2013 — a 1-of-11 showcase against Oklahoma State — Kansas had to find other ways to score.
"We just had to stay aggressive and not be scared to shoot just because they blocked a few of our shots." Mason said.
He finished the day with 12 points on 5-of-13 shooting.
Attacking their big bodies was definitely key in the game..." freshman forward Kelly Oubre Jr. said. "Being able to find other ways to score rather than the outside jumper was definitely a big factor tonight in the game."
Oubre Jr. chipped in 15 points, three blocks and two steals.
So Kansas, a team many consider dependent on outside shooting, sunk just one of its eight attempts Saturday.
"We just had to stay aggressive and not be scared to shoot just because they blocked a few of our shots."
FRANK MASON III Sophomore guard
Self and the layhawks got a stalwart effort out of junior forward Perry Ellis, who finished the victory with 28 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks.
"Perry Ellis is the best player in the league," Self
said. "He was absolutely dominant."
In a game that saw 19 lead changes, Ellis made his own luck, making the basket that put Kansas up 64-61 with just 2:05 left.
"The ball was just bobbling around," Ellis said of the play. "I just happened to be there and got it and tried to put it up really quickly and that was the play. I knew we needed to get a bucket so I was trying to be in the right position at the right time, and I happened to be."
The Texas wall of defense stood tall on Saturday. Ellis didn't go the game without a shot blocked. The Longhorns swarmed and rejected 14 on the day. But Ellis was resolute, scoring 16 of the Jayhawks' 36 points in the paint this game, including 10 of the Jayhawks' 18 points in the paint in the second-half.
When it comes to breaking down a barrier, no matter how tall, pertinacity — not statistics — wins out.
As for the rest of the Big 12 teams, originally second-placed Iowa State coughed up a potential win as Kansas State closed the game on a 22-9 rally, putting Iowa State in a three-way tie for third place. West Virginia mourned a similar fate after a loss to Baylor. The Sooners joined Kansas and Baylor as the title-contending teams that took care of business Saturday.
With just two games to play, the Jayhawks somehow hold a one-game lead on a potential 11th-consecutive title.
"It's hard to say that our brethren helped us out," Self said. "But they did... It was a good day."

There is no current information as to whether
or not Alexander will miss any more time this season, and the University stressed it is just a precautionary measure for now.
"We are committed to NCAA rules compliance," Self said. "We want to make sure that we take every precaution to minimize the impact on Cliff"
Kansas coach Bill Self said Alexander will be able to practice during the NCAA investigation.
Alexander, who had started each of the previous five games for Kansas, is averaging 6.1 points and 4.9 rebounds per game in conference play, although he did have 15 points and nine rebounds in the two teams' previous meeting this year.
Aldridge serves as unsung hero in Oklahoma victory
SCOTT CHASEN
@SChasenKU
Following Kansas' loss to Kansas State on Wednesday, freshman guard Lauren Aldridge made it quite clear the jayhawks weren't giving up, even with just one game remaining in the Big 12.
On Saturday, Aldridge backed up that claim.
"I don't think that our team has any quit in it." I don't have any quit ... Our coaching staff hasn't quit," Aldridge said.
Aldridge and the Jayhawks defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 65-58 on Saturday, but it wasn't smooth sailing for the entire game. The Jayhawks dominated the Sooners for most of the first half, but a late 6-0 run kept the margin close. But the Jayhawks didn't back down, and they didn't allow the Sooners to regain the lead. Simply put, they did not quit.
Aldridge finished with 10 points, six of which came at the line. But even more impressive, the freshman posted a game-high nine assists, accounting for more assists than the rest of her team combined, ending the
For Aldridge, assists have not been hard to rack up as of late, as she has averaged nearly eight assists per game in her past four contests, and she has been able to do so as coach Bonnie Henrickson has given her the reins to the team.

Over the next three contests, Aldridge failed to put together a complete performance, but Henrickson didn't lose faith. She stuck with Aldridge at arguably the most important position on the basketball court. She let Aldridge help lead the team.
Since that time, Aldridge has turned things around, gaining the respect of her teammates in the process. At various points in the year, seniors Natalie Knight, Chelsea Gardner and Asia Boyd have complemented the poise of the freshman, while Henrickson has raved about her maturity.

Advance KU, the second Student Senate coalition, held its first meeting Monday night.
Advance KU affiliate Zach George, a senior from Ottawa, said the name came from the University's need to make progress through Student Senate.
"I think the reason why this coalition really grasped onto Advance is because they've seen our student government right now falling back, and we want to be more forward with our thinking." George said. "Advance is something we can rally behind to advance different departments and organizations on campus and KU."
Advance KU affiliate Jessie Pringle, a junior from Chanute, said choosing the right name is important for the coalition.
"This is a name you rally behind, a name you work for, a name that initiates impact and everything you want to do in the next year," Pringle said.

Kansas Board of Regents makes top 10 list of worst threats to free speech on campus
On Monday, the Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR) made the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education's (FIRE) annual list of top 10 threats to free speech on campus. This is the fourth year the list has been published.
KBOR is noted for its overly broad policy on "improper use of social media" according to the article.
Many advocates for free speech, including advocates at FIRE, wrote to express their dismay with the policy's sanctions over speech that goes against "the best interest of the university" according to the Huffington Post author Greg Lukanion. President and CEO of FIRE.
The Huffington Post published an in-depth look at all 10 threats on the list.
The policy has caused concern with many faculty members, due to the limits it could potentially impose on what faculty members could and could not say.
The policy was revised in May 2014, but the language is still hindering and problematic according to the article. The University has also been adjusting the policy as it would apply to the University specifically.
The policy first went into effect in December 2013, following Professor David Guth's comments on his personal Twitter account against the National Rifle Association in September. Guth was suspended from teaching because of his comments.

KU Dining recycles, works to reduce campus food waste
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
After students put their dishes and food waste on the dining hall conveyor belt and it moves out of sight, they don't give it a second thought. That's where KU Dining's sustainability efforts come in. According to its website,
annually, KU Dining recycles 158 tons of cardboard, steel and plastics, — about as much as four semi-trailers. It also donates more than 300 pounds of food weekly to local farmers and KU Student Gardens, as well as 150 gallons of used cooking oil each week to the KU Biodiesel Initiative. Its compost program
"That a lot of food.
"The majority of the waste that we see is post-consumer waste," said Sheryl Kidwell, an assistant director for KU Dining. "It's usually food
also redirects over 500 tons of compostable materials from the landfill every year. That's a lot of food.

Proposed bills would change Supreme Court justice selection
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Kansas lawmakers will end their congressional recess on Wednesday and begin going over the 97 bills the two chambers passed last Friday.
Two of these bills call for amendments to the Kansas Constitution.
HCR 5004 calls for judges to run in partisan elections, and HCR 5005 allows direct appointment of judges by the governor with Senate confirmation (the "federal model")
The current system allows a nonpartisan nomination commission to accept applicants and then screen and interview them before sending three nominations to the governor.
Recently, there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the federal model bill, with some of it coming from former Sen. Tim Owens.
to change the way judges are selected.
Owens was chair of the Kansas Senate Judiciary Committee for four years. Owens said it was during that time that Gov. Sam Brownback began wanting
Owens said Brownback called him into his office four different times in attempts to convince him to support a change.
"Governor Brownback pointed his finger at me and said, 'Tim, why can't you go along with us on this judicial selection issue and let us change the way we select judges so we can get judges who will vote the way we want them to?' Owens said. Owens was surprised at the get he
"That's not something a lawyer or a governor should even vocalize." Owens said. "It just shows how adamant he is on wanting to control the courts"
Owens was surprised at the gesture, especially because he and Brownback are both lawyers.
Despite the situation that Owens described with Brownback, he remains adamant about the bill for additional reasons.
Also in disagreement with
"I believe the system to appoint judges should be based on merit, not on politics," Owens said.
HCR 5005 is State Rep. Dennis Highberger.
"Its main purpose is to give the Republican party control over the judicial system in Kansas," Highberger said.
righberger also believes the bill is in search of a problem, as he said there is nothing wrong with the current system.
"I can't imagine practicing in a system like that," Highberger said. "It would destroy my faith in it."
Another concern with HCR 5005 is the potential amount of conservative influence.
"Brownback already has a great deal of control in the legislature, as well as the executive branch," Owens said. "If he gains the ability to control the judiciary, where would the separation of powers that's mandated in the constitution be?"
State Rep. John Barker who is the Chair of the Judiciary Committee, and Gov. Brownback could not be reached for comment at the time of publication.

Kansas' largest electric company seeking $152M rate increase
The largest supplier. of electricity in Kansas is asking state regulators to increase its rates by $152 million annually to cover upgrades at power plants and other costs.
Westar Energy Inc. of Topeka said that the request it filed Monday with the Kansas Corporation Commission would increase its rates 8 percent and most residential customers would see monthly costs increase by between $9 and $13.
Westar has about 595,000 residential customers in Kansas.
the company said the higher rates would cover upgrades required by federal air pollution standards, particularly at a plant in LaCygne in east-central Kansas.
Westar also is part-owner of the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant near Burlington, and upgrades there will keep it operating until 2045.
The commission must decide by late October.

Studies:Global warming worsened droughts in California, Syria, contributing to Syrian chaos
WASHINGTON — The conflict that has torn Syria apart can be traced, in part, to a record drought worsened by global warming, a new study says.
In what scientists say is one of the most detailed and strongest connections between violence and human-caused climate change, researchers from Columbia University and the University of California Santa Barbara trace the effects of Syria's drought from
the collapse of farming, to the migration of 1.5 million farmers to the cities, and then to poverty and civil unrest. Syria's drought started in 2007 and continued until at least 2010 — and perhaps longer. Weather records are more difficult to get in wartime.
"There are various things going on, but you're talking about 1.5 million people migrating from the rural north to the cities," said climate scientist Richard Seager at Columbia, a co-author of the study published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "It was a contributing factor to the social unravelling that occurred that eventually led to the civil war."
SEE FOOD PAGE 1
But, Seager said, this is the "single clearest case" ever presented by scientists of climate change playing a part in conflict because "you can really draw a blow-by-blow account with the numbers."
Associated Press
The study's authors do not claim climate change caused Syriac's civil war. It's not that simple. Lead author Colin Kelley at the University of California said there are numerous factors involved, including the oppressive Assad regime, an influx of more than 1 million refugees from Iraq, the tumult of the Arab Spring, as well as the drought. Kelley and Seager said they couldn't say which factors were the most important.
scraps and inedible portions, peelings, that kind of thing. We see it, but to be honest we're see less of it."
Cost-wise, Kidwell said that recycling and composting is beginning to balance out. KU Dining has cut back costs on going to the city landfill by about 80 percent through composting. However, the cost of composting and the addition of costly biodegradable trash bags counterbalances the savings KU Dining creates through the use of the city landfill.
"The commitment to a more sustainable KU and to the Lawrence community is important to us, and I joke it always costs green to go green." Kidwell said. "We know that, but we're committed to it, so we just work that into the budget."
Trying to figure out how much food to prepare can result in making too much, a problem KU Dining is trying to curb.
"There will be waste just because it's difficult to predict exactly the amount you need and the amount [of people] who are going to show up for a meal, but we try to get as close as we can to the actual amount," said Nona Golledge, director for KU Dining.
Kidwell and Golledge said KU Dining has taken steps to handle food waste and to avoid sending it to the landfill, such as implementing tray-free dining in the residential dining halls in 2008. Kidwell said KU Dining hasn't tracked how much waste it has saved since its implementation, but she estimates it has had a significant impact.
KU Dining uses a menu management system that relies on data to help dining staff make decisions about how much food to make and what to serve. Kidwell said this system tracks how much of a menu item is used. KU Dining then uses the data to decide whether to maintain or reduce usage to help limit overproduction of food.
Another key factor to reducing food waste is proper portion size. Kidwell said.
"Serving smaller portions, specifically of what were considered center of the plate entrees or proteins, is fast becoming the more nutritional-savvy way of eating," she said.
"We look at KU Dining as contributing to the educational mission of the University," Golledge said. "We're considered a learning laboratory, if you will, for students."
The University has partnered with Missouri Organic, a company that composts food waste located in Liberty, Mo., to compost the rest of KU Dining's compostable waste not donated to KU programs and local farmers.
KU Dining partners with local farmers, the Center for Sustainability, KU Recycling. KU Biodiesel Initiative, Daily Bread at the Center for Community Outreach, KU Enviros and KU Fights Hunger to help reduce its food waste by giving leftover food to these programs.
"四 years ago we decided to be proactive knowing that KU Dining does probably have the largest portion of compostable material waste, so we went and did research [and] partnered with them," Kidwell said.
She said that KU Recycling picks up the rest of KU Dining's recyclable waste.

Golledge said the University has received recognition for its efforts to decrease food waste. The University has participated in Recyclemania, a nationwide college recycling competition, as well as competitions between Big 12 schools at home football games.
In the 2013 Recyclemania competition, Kansas came in 228th out of 273 colleges and universities with 17.15 percent of its waste redirected from the landfill by composting or recycling. Kansas did not compete in 2014 or 2015.
"We always want to take every opportunity to let campus know that this is an area we take really seriously, and we do work daily to help limit over production and food waste, both pre- and post-consumer waste," she said.
Kidwell said everyone can help to reduce waste at the University, too.
"We can all help by simply watching portions, not taking more than we intend to consume, [being] more mindful when we're eating." Kidwell said.
Kidwell said KU Dining is always looking to help limit food waste.

Suspect said 'Heil Hitler' after Jewish site shootings
HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH Associated Press
OLATHE — A man accused of fatally shooting three people at Jewish sites in Kansas declared "Heil Hitler!" and asked how many Jews he had killed after the attacks, a police officer testified Monday during a hearing in which the man's apology to some survivors was rejected.
Frazier Glenn Miller, 74, is charged with capital murder in the April 13, 2014, shootings at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City in Overland Park, Kansas, and at a nearby Jewish retirement home. None of the victims were Jewish.
Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty.
At a preliminary hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to put Miller on trial, Overland Park police Sgt. Marty C. Ingram, who was working off-duty at the Jewish Community Center, testified that he heard shots and saw the doors of the center's theater shatter. He said he took cover as more shots hit the building's facade.
Miller is accused of killing Dr. William Lewis Corporon, 69, and his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood, who were attending a singing contest audition at the Jewish Community Center.
Ingram found Corporon and his grandson, who was barely alive, outside in a truck.
"Dust, smoke was flying everywhere at that point," he said. The gunman then drove away.
I realized the gentleman had sustained such horrendous head wounds that there was nothing I could do," he said, recalling how he then heard a "tremendous scream" when Reat's mother saw her mortally wounded son.
When he heard that a suspect had been arrested nearby, Ingram accompanied some witnesses to the arrest scene to determine if they could identify him. As they approached the patrol car where Miller was detained, he shouted "Heil Hitler!" and asked how many Jews he had killed, according to the officer.
Another police officer, Charles Wimsatt, testified that Miller tried to recruit him to his cause, asking him if he was
German.

old Terri LaManno, who was visiting her mother at a nearby Jewish retirement home.

Frazier Glenn Miller, suspected of killing three people at two Jewish sites in Kansas in April 2014, is wheeled into a courtroom for a hearing at the Johnson County Courthouse in Olathe on Monday. The hearing will determine whether there is enough evidence to put Miller, of Aurora, Mo., on trial. Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty.
and needs oxygen from a tank to breathe, muttered during breaks in the hearing about how Jews "owned Hollywood."
"Google it," he urged the court.
Thomas Bates, a former combat medic who worked at the community center, said he grabbed his medical kit when he heard about the shootings. When he reached the victims, Corporon was dead but Reat was still breathing. Bates said the teen had been shot in the head and there was little that could be done for him.
As court adjourned Monday, Miller turned to LaManno's family, apparently assuming they were Reat's relatives, and apologized.
"I very much regret the little boy," he said, adding he thought Reat was 21 and Jewish.
The family told Miller they didn't accept the apology. They declined a request to be interviewed.
Paul Temme testified that he was getting his gym bag from his car when he heard gunfire. He dialed 911 and chased the shooter's vehicle in a failed attempt to get his license details. But then the shooter
stopped.
"I he pulled a handgun out and fired at me," said Temme, who ran for cover.
In phone calls to The Associated Press, Miller has said he thought he was dying because of his emphysema and felt he was fulfilling a patriotic duty by killing Jews. He regretted shooting the teenager, who he said looked older.
Miller, a Vietnam War veteran also known as Frazier Glenn Cross, founded the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in his native North Carolina and later the White Patriot Party.
After a nationwide manhunt in 1987, federal agents found him and three other men at a rural Missouri home stocked with hand grenades and automatic weapons. Miller was indicted on weapons charges and accused of plotting robberies and the assassination of the Southern Poverty Law Center's founder. He served three years in federal prison.
Miller also ran for the U.S. House in 2006 and the U.S. Senate in 2010 in Missouri, each time espousing a whitepower platform.
Ford Motor Co. will award $10,000 scholarship
The Ford Motor Co. will award a $10,000 scholarship to one student studying industrial design or automotive engineering next year.
the Alan Mulally Leadership in Engineering Scholarship sponsored by the Ford Motor
Co. will be awarded to one applicant with the eligibility of having a 3.5 GPA or higher, being an automotive engineering or industrial design student as a junior or a senior in the 2015 fall semester. The application deadline is March 25.
Alan Mulally, a University graduate and former president and CEO of Ford Motor Co., is the key sponsor for this scholarship. Mulally and Ford primarily
chose the University because o Mulally's ties. The University has completed four projects with Ford in the past.
Mulally worked for Ford since 2006. After he stepped down from his position in 2014, the company wanted to honor his outstanding service through a scholarship.
"We have a good relationship with [Ford]," said Greg Thomas, professor of design and director of Center for Design Research. "They
kind of chose [industrial design] as opposed to engineering mainly because we are perceived to be doing more automotive work in the Center for Design Research."
The University is one of the five schools in the nation selected for a scholarship grant. The other schools selected are Georgia Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Michigan and Kettering University, according to Thomas.
"It's a great addition to anyone's resume, I mean it is a national scholarship," said Charles D. Linn, director of communications for School of Architecture, Design & Planning. "Who wouldn't want $10,000?"
This is the first year for this particular scholarship. Basically, a student could get a free year of schooling with this scholarship. An annual average in-state tuition cost for 2014-15 students
is between $8,000 to $10,000 for 30 hours of credit, according to the University's website.
"The scholarships are very important to the students. If you are in-state, we don't have a wealth of scholarship funding available to our students." Thomas said. "It really enables us to support the students who deserve it."

Climate change messages should inspire
Gabrielle Murnan
@GabrielleKansan
Upion columnist Gabrielle Murnan believes that those who want to inspire people to care about climate change should be more innovate in their messages.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
W writing while uninspired is like driving while
driving while drunk. Everything looks a little funny and there is a high margin for disaster. Similarly, communicating the science of climate change without innovation is awkward and risky. Scientists have tried and failed to articulate the atmospheric and biological science behind a changing climate. In the same way, many citizens have failed to grasp the severity of the situation and the necessity for behavior change. But what if there was a better way to make people understand that they are part of both producing and mitigating climate change? When I think about the things that truly move people, I think of the arts. In order to connect to a wider audience, climate change science needs to "get sexy" through art and music.
When I say art, I mean the real stuff — not infographics. I mean artwork that depicts climate change and elicits a visceral response. In order to create an emotional response to climate change we have to show behaviors, mitigation strategies and consequences of climate change. For example, Cape Farewell is a project based in the University of Arts London: Chelsea, which strives to change the way we think about climate
change. The project brings climate change to a human level through creativity and innovation in the arts. Climate poetry summits, sustainability exploration through sculpture, or partnerships between technology, science and culture to envision energy independence, are just a few ways that Cape Farewell brings the compli
cated world of climate science to a level with which we can all connect. Projects like these effectively attack the complexities of climate change with innovative reimaginings
of a changing world. Unprecedented problems deserve unprecedented ideas.
unprecedented ideas.
If we can show climate change through art, then we can feel it through music too. Throughout the last few decades, artists have written and composed songs that describe great environmental predicaments. In 2006, Melissa Etheridge wrote and sang, "I Need to Wake up" for Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth." The beauty of this song is that there are no direct references to climate change, but a relationship between the lyrics and climate change is created in the minds of listeners. With this idea in mind, the lyrics, "Have I been careless? Dismiss all the distant rumblings," suddenly take on a new meaning — that we need to face the reality of climate change.
Whether it is through film, music, art or other media innovative thinking is the wave of the future in regard to climate discussions. In a country where only 61 percent of citizens believe in climate change, according
to the Pew Research Center. (and even fewer rank it as a top policy priority), scientists and scholars need to adopt new ways of framing this issue. Statistics and probabilities are no longer enough to sway public opinion. In order to make citizens understand the reality and the danger of climate change we must take a human approach — an artistic approach.

Capitalism not to blame for country's problems
John Olson
@JohnOlsonUDK
It is not an exaggeration to say that capitalism is responsible for everything we love. Market forces combine to give us everything from cars, PlayStations and Chipotle to our careers. According to economic historian Robert Hessen, no other economic system has worked out quite as well as capitalism over the course of human history. Despite this, capitalism has more recently taken on a negative connotation, according to The Economist. People associate the term with massive gaps between the rich and poor,
systematic oppression and out-of-touch politicians. The problem is that these assumptions are not based on capitalism, but something else entirely.
what exactly is capitalism? Webster's dictionary defines it as "a way of organizing an economy so that the things that are used to make and transport products are owned by individual people and companies rather than by the government." That sounds like something the United States has, right? Not entirely. In my view, the U.S. is currently based on "crony capitalism," or an economic system in which "instead of success being determined by a free market and the rule of law, the success of a business is dependent on the favoritism that is shown to it by the ruling government in the form of tax breaks, government grants and other incentives," according to Investopedia.
This is what has given capitalism a bad rap. Politicians claim to be capitalists but follow crony capitalism. For an example, observe Gov. Sam Brownback. According to the New York Times, his tax cuts favored specific groups of people and businesses, rather than being across-the-board. His social policy entirely disregards individuality, and instead curbs women's control over their own bodies and tramples on LGBTQ+ lives, according to On The Issues. In my opinion, Brownback is not a capitalist, and every time he proclaims himself to be, it is an insult to capitalism itself.
an insult to capitalism and
People often think of capitalism as "pro-business," but this is a false notion. There must be a sharp distinction between pro-business and capitalism. By definition, true capitalism does not favor any one group, such as businesses, over the other. Instead, it is a system where
individuals can compete openly and fairly under rule of law to improve themselves. Capitalism, when left unsoiled, treats individuals with dignity and respect, according to economic philosopher Tibor Machan. It creates a society where no one assumes they know how to live others' lives better than they do.
True capitalism promotes economic equality. The way I see it, the present crony capitalist system has enabled vast disparities between the rich and poor. For example, if ExxonMobil were not protected by subsidies and regulations from the government, it would face significant competition under a truly capitalist system. According to CBS News, it would not have the resources to give a $4.5 million bonus to its CEO. The huge incomes we hear about are the result of government protections and intervention, according to
economist Bill Conerly. Remove these, and the wealthy have to make their fortunes in a more fair, competitive environment.
The next time you hear politicians claim to be capitalist, look at their record. Are they favoring some groups over others? Are they supporting the wealthy and big businesses while ignoring the poor? Do they give special rights to some individuals, but deny them to others? If the answer to any of these is a "yes," then they should not be considered a capitalist. Do not let backward politicians cause you to reject the greatest system of economic growth on our planet. Today's system must be changed from crony capitalism, but capitalism itself ought not to be entirely disbanded.

ISIS SNL skit deemed both tasteless and brave

DANA EDELSON/NBC
"Saturday Night Live" aired what some called a failed attempt at humor Saturday, Feb. 2 depicting "50 Shades of Grey" actress Dakota Johnson being dropped off at the airport by her father to join the terror group ISIS.
In the skit spoofing a Toyota car advertisement, actor Taran Killam tells his daughter, Johnson, to be careful as she travels. Johnson responds "Dad, it's just ISIS" and proceeds to climb into a truck bed with armed militants.
It seems the terror group ISIS makes headlines and causes controversy in both real and fictional situations. Reports of teens fleeing to Syria seem to be more and more common in the news.
In early February, the fourth American, Kayla Jean Mueller, was killed by the terror group. She was an aid worker captured in 2013 while leaving a Doctors Without Borders clinic, according to and ABC News article.
James Foley was beheaded in Augusti and Steven Sotloff was beheaded in September, both were American journalists. Former U.S. army ranger Peter Kassig was beheaded in November, according to a CNN article. While America has mourned the loss of four individuals, ISIS has continued to behead, capture and torture hundreds of people from varying nations.
Such awful actions and evil being depicted as trivial brought a barrage of tweets criticizing SNL for lacking good taste.
Steven Bucci, Director of The Heritage Foundation's
Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies, questioned why something so vile and despicable was made into a joke.
Other tweets were similar in outrage, calling the skit "tasteless," despite general praise for SNL.
Another Twitter user was
"Absolutely floored that anyone would find the #SNL ISIS skit funny."
However, not all the responses to the skit were negative. Some praised SNL for bringing to light the issue of young women flocking to ISIS, while others praised the show for using our freedoms
of speech to combat terror with humor.
ISIS and the terror it embodies is something America won't turn a blind eye to, but it seems our individual perceptions of the group is where we differ.

and better projects because I see what they're capable of, and I want to push myself as well." Wooton said.
Earlier in February, Wooton chose to compete in KU's Got Talent to keep her skills polished and nourish her competitive spirit.
"It was just really a place for me to practice my talent for the competition. I'd never painted on three canvases before, so that was a first time thing." Wootton said.
Wooton began speed painting in high school after she was asked by her friends in the theatre program if she wanted to live paint while the jazz band played at an assembly.
After being thrown into the prospect of live painting, Wooton decided to take her talent to a competitive level.
MISS PLAINAY
"I guess it was just me and the crazy idea to take provisional art on stage," she said.
she participated in the Miss America pageant in the teen division for a few years during high school, but quit to focus on school. Wooton recalled the first time she competed for the Miss America pageant program.
THE MOMENTS
"I was terrified, but once the music started, the adrenaline hit," she said. "I ended up having more time because I was going so fast, I had that adrenaline. At the end, it was really rewarding."
PETER SCHNEIDER
"The first painting I did for competition, I actually recorded the song I was painting to. So it was me singing. It was 'Brave' by Sara Bareilles. It was kind of like me being 'Hey, I'm being really brave in doing this.'"
Annika Wooton, a junior from Richmond, Va., shows off her unique talent of speed painting in a pageant. Wooton said she started speed painting in high school, when a friend asked her to paint while the jazz band played at an assembly. Wooton said she first selects a subject to paint, then selects the music to accompany it. Wooton will be competing in the upcoming Miss Kansas pageant.

Wooton said that usually after selecting her subject for painting, she then selects the music to accompany it.
"The first painting I did for competition, I actually recorded the song I was painting to. So it was also me singing. It was 'Brave' by Sara Bareilles. It was kind of like me being 'Hey I'm being really brave in doing this.'" Wooton said.
She said a fun part to speed painting is having to be quick thinking.
"If something doesn't go according to plan, I just have to fix it." Wooton said.
Dailey Tasker, a junior from Wichita and a friend and collaborator of Wooton's, has attended several of her live painting events. The two met
in the art school, and Tasker. helps provide critique for Wooton.
"She's really self-motivated in all that," she said. "That's her spot, that's where she shines, and it's cool to see an art form that's more individualized and her bring it to the stage, and to bring people in on her process."
Wooton said she's excited for the upcoming Miss Kansas pageant despite the stress that accompanies it. She said she looks forward to spending time with close friends she made in the pageant, but also excited to "build really good experiences painting."
For Wooton, speed painting and art is more than just a talent for a pageant.
"Art is what I'm devoting my life to," she said. "I'm studying that here, so it's neat to put that on stage in front of a bunch of people."

Black Madam: Amber Rose hired me to plump her posterior
MARYCLAIRE DALE Associated Press
Her Black Madam moniker, she said, came from many lucrative years running an escort service employing male, female and transgender sex workers.
Asked by Assistant District Attorney Carlos Vega why they would choose an unlicensed practitioner over a Los Angeles plastic surgeon, Windslowe said, "I was the best, and I don't mean that to be cocky."
PHILADELPHIA — A Gothic hip-hop artist charged with killing a London break dancer with an illegal buttocks injection name-dropped her way through testimony Friday, saying one of the celebrities who sought her out became "a walking billboard" for her work.
"It's set up like a friendly date, but I'm not naive about what goes on" she said. "They're doing something. It's not just escorting."
Padge-Victoria Windslowe claimed model Amber Rose started receiving injections from her before she became famous and continued until two days before the 2011 death of dancer Claudia Aderotimi.
She said under cross-examination that Kanye West dropped Rose off for one procedure when the two were dating and that she was supposed to perform a "correction" on Nicki Minaj that never happened.
Windslowe, 45, who returns to the stand Monday, talked of the dizzying array of names, addresses, careers and identities she has assumed in the 20 years she acknowledges doing underground cosmetic surgery on the side.
Representatives for Rose and Minaj did not immediately respond to emails requesting comment.
"Amber was like a walking billboard;" she said of Rose, who was raised in Philadelphia. "She brought a lot of girls from VH1."
She said she kept half their take and made good money. But she stopped after her father died in 2003 because she "didn't feel good about it anymore."
Clients from rappers to strippers to fellow transgender women paid thousands to plump their posteriors, Windslowe said.
The names she used on bank cards and mail deliveries before and after
Aderotimi's death included birth name Forrest Gordon, the more feminine Foreest Leona Gordon and Foreest Leona Giordani.
"I thought it sounded like a movie star name, so I liked it," she said of the last name. She acknowledged that police found a fake passport, Social Security card and New York driver's license during searches of some of the five Philadelphia-area properties linked to her in the years before her 2012 arrest.
Windslowe is charged with third-degree murder in the
death of the 20-year-old Aderotimi, who was injected with low-grade silicone at a Philadelphia airport hotel.

Doctors have told jurors during the two-week trial that the syringe hit a vein and sent silicone to the woman's lungs.

PHILADELPHIA POLICE DEPARTMENT/ASSOCIATED PRESS This undated file photo provided by the Philadelphia Police Department shows Padge Gordon, also known as Padge Victoria Windlowe. An aspiring rapper known as "the Black Madam," Windslowe is accused of killing a 20-year-old dancer from London during a procedure that involved silicone buttocks injections and Krazy Glue. Her third-degree murder trial is expected to start Feb. 19 in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court.

However, prosecutors say, she mostly used nonsterile, industrial silicone, not the medical-grade silicone that is encased in implants during standard cosmetic surgeries.
to show jurors through Windslowe's testimony that she prepped them with alcohol before and after the injections and took other safety measures.
"I told (clients) I've been doing this for years, I've done it to myself and my friends, and I was trained by a nurse up in Washington Heights (in New York City) back in 1995." Windslowe said Friday, explaining her credentials.
She said she started doing body sculpting two decades ago to help transgender friends. Transgender women often want to plump up an indent in the side of the buttocks they call "the boy pocket," she said.
On the stand Thursday, Windslowe said she was trained by a doctor in Thailand and another in South America who performed her sex-change operation.
Windslowe charged about $1,000 to $2,000 depending on the amount of silicone requested. Some clients, including a pole dancer she discussed Friday, saw her a half-dozen times.

Christian Garrett prepares for final game at Allen Fieldhouse
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein
When Christian Garrett was growing up, it was his dream to play basketball at a place like Kansas. In Garrett's five years on the Kansas basketball team, he's had the chance to live that dream and tomorrow night he will suit up and start for his final home game tomorrow night as he is honored as the sole senior on this year's Jayhawk roster.
"When I was young I said I wanted to go to a school with a lot of tradition and has a chance to win a national championship. I'm at exactly where I wanted to be," senior guard Garrett said. "It's been a dream come true, I cherish it and I'm glad to be a part of it."
Garrett, from Los Angeles, is studying sports management. While he has not seen a lot of playing time in his years at Kansas, he is still a crucial

"He gives up 100 percent in practice," freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr. said. "Even though he doesn't play in the games, he gives us his all in practice and it's inspiring to all of us."
member of the team.
Garrett redshirted his first year with the program in the 2010-11 season and has been a part of four Big 12 championships in his tenure and will go for a fifth Tuesday night.
"The first ring was cool, I kind of lucked into that one." Garrett said. "I've been blessed that every year we've won the Big 12. Some people don't get the opportunity. We expect to get two every year."
On top of four regular season titles, Garrett has been a part of two Big 12 tournament titles, two Elite Eights and one Final Four appearance. Kansas has lost only two games inside Allen Fieldhouse in Garrett's five years on the roster while posting a 128-31 overall record in his time at Kansas.
Garrett will leave Kansas having been a part of several very decorated teams.
Garrett was recently named to the Academic All-Big 12 roster for the first time in his tenure at Kansas. He was named to the Academic All-Big 12 rookie team and the Academic All-League second team last season.

Garrett said he has built in
"The Final Four freshman year was a crazy memory," Garrett said. "Every person on this team, every coach, people you meet, these relationships will last a lifetime."
Like all seniors under Bill Self before him, Garrett will lace up with the starting lineup and will have a post-game speech in front of the crowd of 16,300 attendees. Garrett will replace Oubre in the starting lineup.
"Christian is a great kid and teammate," Self said. "He gives us everything he has in practice and even though that hasn't reflected in playing time, he has done a lot for this program."

Jayhawks take on Lopes in Arizona

After losing to Boston College in the Snowbird Classic, Kansas travels to Arizona this weekend to face Grand Canyon
After a two-run loss to Boston College (4-6) to end the Snowbird Classic, Kansas (4-7) heads to Arizona to take on the Grand Canyon Lopes (9-3).
Earlier in the season, Grand Canyon showed their ability to hit the ball well in a 30-7 drubbing of Bradley. The Lopes recorded 28 hits against the Braves. Behind senior second baseman Chad De La Guerra, who had 9 RBIs, Grand Canyon amassed 29 RBIs.
Last time out for the Lopes saw little success from the batter's box. Grand Canyon only collected three runs on 18 hits through a two game series against the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The Lopes allowed 14 runs over the two game series to UW-Milwaukee.
As the Jayhawks head down to Phoenix, there are a few things to keep your eyes peeled for. For the Jayhawks, junior second baseman Colby Wright has found himself on base every game this season, and
is looking to extend his fourgame hitting streak. Additionally, be on the lookout for how the Jayhawks' pitching staff performs. If the pitchers can get two strong starting efforts against Grand Canyon, there is no reason to think that Kansas won't leave Arizona without at least one win added to their season total.
this season, so be sure to keep a look out when he steps in the batter's box.
the games themselves can be viewed on a local news station out of Phoenix. The first game starts Tuesday at 8 p.m., and the second game of the series will be Wednesday at 3:30 p.m.
For Grand Canyon, De La Guerra was selected as the Western Athletic Conference's Player of the Year. He showed off his batting abilities against Bradley with nine RBIs and more recently against UW-Milwaukee with a four-hit game, including a home run. De La Guerra has been attacking the ball with ferocity

ADVANTAGE JAYHAWKS
Kansas defeats Iowa to remain perfect at home
JACOB CLEMEN
@jclemn9
@jclemn9
Kansas tennis picked up its second home win of the year Monday defeating the unranked Iowa Hawkeyes 4-1.
The Jayhawks started the day strong, jumping out to an early lead with two quick doubles wins. On court three, the freshman pair of Alexis Czapinski and Summer Collins won handily. The Jayhawks got an early 5-0 lead before surrendering two games and rallying to a 6-2 win.
Shortly after, the number one pairing of junior Maria Jose Cardona and senior Maria Belen Ludueña finished tightly contested. The two teams battled back and forth in the
first four games to a 2-2 score before the Kansas pair pulled away to win 6-3 and seal the doubles point for Kansas.
The freshman duo of Smith Hinton and Madison Harrison were ahead 5-4 when the Jayhawks took the doubles point, but did not finish their match. In singles, the Hawkeyes were able to even the score at 1-1 when Iowa senior Shelby Talcott defeated Cardina 6-3, 6-2 on court one. It would be the only point for the Hawkeyes of the day.
On court three, Hinton made quick work of Anastasia Reimchen, the Hawkeye freshman, dominating her first set 6-1 and cruising to a 6-3 victory in the second set. Kansas moved ahead 2-1 with the win and
never surrendered its lead.
Ludueña was able to back up her doubles-clinching win with the match-clinching singles win for the Jayhawks. After securing a tidy first-set win 6-2, Ludueña battled with Iowa senior Morven McCulloch to a tiebreak. Neither player ever lead by two games the whole second set until Ludueña finally won 7-6(3).
Harrison was able to battle through a back-and-forth first set on court four, edging Iowa junior Annette Dohanics 7-5. Harrison then jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the second set before winning 6-2.
"I think it was big for Belen to clinch," coach Todd Chapman said. "She's had a couple close matches in a row where
she hasn't pulled out the match when she probably felt like she need to for the team and those kinds of things, especially last weekend in Colorado."
"It feels great. I know my team was expecting me to win and it feels great to do it," Ludueña said the after match. "It's not only me. I mean, I won the last one, but my teammates won before me so every point counts the same."
The win improves Kansas to a perfect 2-0 at home and 4-6 overall this season as well as 9-8 all-time versus Iowa. The
game was the first of a five- game homestand for Kansas.
"It makes us all really excited to come out here and play our next matches because we are undefeated [at home] so we're all just pretty pumped about that," Harrison said.
Meanwhile, Iowa falls to 4-4 on the season and its six-game winning streak versus Kansas is snapped. With the loss, the Hawkeyes extend their streak to four straight losses in which they failed to claim the doubles point.
"We worked really hard to

get that sour taste out of our mouth," Chapman said. "Now it's work the next eleven days, week and a half, to really keep the momentum going. We know we got two tough tests in Texas Tech and TCU, two really good teams."
Maria Belen Ludueha, senior from Curicó, Chile, approaches a drop shot during her singles match against Iowa at the Jayhawk Tennis Center on Monday. Ludueha won her singles match 6-2, 7-6 to seal a 4-1 Kansas victory.
The Jayhawks' next matchup will be against Texas Tech in Lawrence on Friday, March 13 at 3:30 p.m. The match marks the beginning of Big 12 play for Kansas.

AT A GLANCE
No. 9 Kansas is looking to tie the season series against No. 20 West Virginia after the Mountaineers held off the Jayhawks 61-60 in West Virginia. Kansas coach Bill Self and the Jayhawks own a 3-2 series advantage over the Mountainers, two of the three wins coming in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas is ranked No. 2 nationally in the Ratings Percentage Index for the second toughest schedule in the country. West Virginia will be the 12th ranked opponent Kansas has faced this season.
Without Cliff Alexander, Self said players like sophomores Hunter Mickelson and Landen Lucas need to step up. Self said Lucas provided quality minutes against Texas, scoring five points and grabbing four rebounds. In the last two games, besides Ellis, the Kansas frontcourt combined for five points and Self thinks the frontcourt needs to take the pressure off Ellis by providing a lift on offense.

Can Kansas protect the rim without Alexander?
Perry Ellis said the two things Kansas will miss while Alexander is on the bench is his toughness and shot-blocking ability. Alexander was the best rim protector on the team, but that doesn't mean Kansas can't block shots in his absence. Without Alexander, Kansas blocked a season-high 10 shots against Texas. In the four previous games with Alekander, Kansas didn't surpass four blocks in each of those contests.

THE UNIVERSITY DAHY KANSAN S sports
COMMENTARY Greene crucial to postseason success
Evan Riggs
@EvanRiggs15
From mid-January to the first week of February, the Kansas Jayhawks were playing their best basketball of the season. One of the biggest reasons was sophomore Brannen Greene playing the best basketball of his collegiate career.
From Jan. 19 to Feb. 10, it seemed like every time Greene lined up a jumper it would go in.
In those seven games, he shot a scorching 71 percent from three and averaged 11 points per game. In that stretch, the Jayhawks were 6-1, with their only loss occurring at Oklahoma State, a place where they traditionally struggle under Bill Self.
In the last three weeks, Kansas has lost three games and it is not a coincidence that Greene's play has slipped. If the Jayhawks are going to have a successful NCAA Tournament, it is crucial for Greene to find his shooting stroke once again.
MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN
It is no secret that Greene is a very up-and-down player, like most three-point marksmen often are. He has had nine games where he has scored in double figures. The Jayhawks are 8-1 in those games. But Greene has had seven games where he scored zero points. The Jayhawks have been able to overcome that on occasion, but are just 4-3 in such games.
Last year, when Kansas lost to Stanford in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, many fans quickly pointed to Andrew Wiggins as the reason why. He may have only had four points, but he had no room to work. Every time he caught the ball, Stanford packed into the paint to take away all driving lanes.
In the last five games, Greene has made just two of his last 14 three-point attempts (14 percent), and averaged four points per game. In that stretch, the Jayhawks have sputtered to a 3-2 record.
If the jayhawks are going to make a deep NCAA Tournament run, Mason, Oubre and Ellis need to play well. They will be the ones under the microscope, and if Greene can hit shots and stretch the floor, that will make life much easier for the Jayhawks in the tournament.
Greene can prevent teams from doing that with his shooting ability. If he is making shots, that creates room for guys like Frank Mason III, Perry Ellis and Kelly Oubre Jr. to operate. It doesn't take a basketball purist to figure out that if they have more room to work, it will make it easier for them get to the basket and either make a basket, get fouled or create a shot for somebody else.

Jayhawks pick up win on Senior Night

On Senior Night, Kansas needed to make free throws down the stretch as senior forward Chelsea Gardner and senior guard Natalie Knight made seven-of-eight from the free-throw line in the last 30 seconds of the game to give Kansas a 68-64 win.
For the first time since 2006, the Jayhawks swept the Cyclones during the regular season.
"It was great for the seniors to end it for us at the line down the stretch," coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
Kansas got off to a quick start as the seniors would start to contribute early in their final game in Allen Fieldhouse. Three of the four Kansas seniors got the start as forward Bunny Williams, Gardner and Knight made their final starts at Allen Fieldhouse. Williams played the first four minutes of the game, recorded a bucket and blocked a shot. Rebounding was the key in the game as the Jayhawks got things started.
"Offensive rebounding was hurting us in losses this season and we got better at that in the last two games," Gardner said.
Kansas outrebounded Iowa State 43-34, and 17-12 on the offensive glass.
Kansas led 9-5 early, but Iowa State came back to tie the game 9-9 and 11-11. Kansas then sparked on a 10-2 run and led 21-13 with 7:49 remaining. The Jayhawks led throughout and had just one turnover in the first 20 minutes of the game, committing their first turnover with 40 seconds remaining in the first half. Freshman guard Lauren
Aldridge continued her effort with seven points and five assists in the first half.
"You can't stop Lauren (Aldridge), she is doing a great job for us right now," Henrickson said.
The Cyclones got within one point with 1.02 remaining, but clutch free-throw shooting by the Jayhawks sealed the deal for their second straight win to end out the regular season.
Kansas led 31-25 at halftime. The Jayhawks were a perfect five-for-five from the line in the first half. Against Oklahoma on Saturday, Kansas was 17-of-18 from the line.
Gardner recorded her ninth double-double of the season with 25 points and 13 rebounds.
"It was awesome with the emotions of senior night," Gardner said.
Knight and Aldridge each added ten points.
Gardner is the fourth player to record 1,400 points and 850 rebounds in her career as a Jayhawk.
Kansas shot 22-of-59 from the field for 37 percent, seven-of 20 from beyond the arc for 35 percent, and 17-of-21 from the line for 81 percent.
Kansas (15-16) will find out its seed in the Big 12 Tournament after tonight's games in the conference. Kansas will play either at 6:00 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. on Friday in Dallas, Texas.
"It's win or go home time," Knight said.

With at least a share of the Big 12 regular season title already in hand, No.9 Kansas (23-6,12-4) will play its final home game of the season against No.20 West Virginia (22-7,10-6) on Tuesday night.
An Iowa State win against second-place Oklahoma on Monday night gave the Jayhawks a one-and-a-half game lead with two games remaining, giving Kansas at least a share of its 11th straight Big 12 title. Kansas can clinch the conference outright with a win over West Virginia.
The game will also be the last in Allen Fieldhouse for the senior Christian Garrett, who has been at Kansas since 2011. The 6-3 guard from Los Angeles has appeared in 33 games as a Jayhawk.
The Mountaineers defeated the jayhawks in Morgantown at the buzzer earlier this season, 62-61. West Virginia has won three of its past four games and have surged back into the Big 12 contention, tied for third with a 10-6 record against Baylor and Iowa State.
Senior Juwan Staten leads the Mountaineers in scoring this season with 14.5 points per game on 42.3 percent shooting from the field. Staten hit the go-ahead spinning layup in the lane against the Jayhawks to give the Mountaineers the win in their previous matchup. Staten posted 20 points with four assists
and zero turnovers.
Sophomore Devin Williams nearly averages a double-double with 10.8 points and 8.1 rebounds per contest. Against Kansas, Williams recorded eight points on 4-7 shooting.
Junior forward Perry Ellis has been on an absolute tear as of late, averaging 22.4 points over his past five games. Ellis recorded a season-high 28 points in Kansas' last win against Texas.
Ellis has put his name in
Freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr. recorded 15 points and nine rebounds against the Longhorns, providing help for Ellis when needed. Oubre was 4-9 from the field and 7-9 from the free throw line. The freshman put up 14 points and seven rebounds the last time Kansas played West Virginia.
Kansas enters play-winners of four of its previous six games. The Jayhawks will need to deal with the full court pressure of the Mountaineers once again in Tuesday's matchup.
contention for Big 12 Player of the Year along with Staten. Both stars lead their teams with an average of 14.5 points per contest.
West Virginia coach Bob Huggins knows his defensive scheme is one of the strongest to combat Kansas' offense and will continue to run it most of the game. It took the Jayhawks a while to adjust earlier in the season, but having faced it already, they should

On Saturday, Kansas will travel to Norman, Okla. for the Big 12 finale. The Jayhawks defeated the Sooners, 85-78 earlier this season in Allen Housefield.

COMMENTARY Greene crucial to postseason success
Evan Riggs
@EvanRiggs15
From mid-january to the first week of February, the Kansas Jayhawks were playing their best basketball of the season. One of the biggest reasons was sophomore Brannen Greene playing the best basketball of his collegiate career.
From Jan. 19 to Feb. 10, it seemed like every time Greene lined up a jumper it would go in.
In those seven games, he shot a scorching 71 percent from three and averaged 11 points per game. In that stretch, the lajhawks were 6-1, with their only loss occurring at Oklahoma State, a place where they traditionally struggle under Bill Self.
I struggle under this rain.
In the last three weeks,
Kansas has lost three games
and it is not a coincidence
that Greene's play has slipped. If the Jayhawks are going to have a successful NCAA Tournament, it is crucial for Greene to find his shooting stroke once again.
Last year, when Kansas lost to Stanford in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, many fans quickly pointed to Andrew Wiggins as the reason why. He may have only had four points, but he had no room to work. Every time he caught the ball, Stanford packed into the paint to take away all driving lanes.
Greene can prevent teams from doing that with his shooting ability. If he is making shots, that creates room for guys like Frank Mason III, Perry Ellis and Kelly Oubre Jr. to operate. It doesn't take a basketball purist to figure out that if they have more room to work, it will make it easier for them get to the basket and either make a basket, get fouled or create a shot for somebody else.
In the last five games, Greene has made just two of his last 14 three-point attempts (14 percent), and averaged four points per game. In that stretch, the Jayhawks have sputtered to a 3-2 record.
It is no secret that Greene is a very up-and-down player, like most three-point marksmen often are. He has had nine games where he has scored in double figures. The Jayhawks are 8-1 in those games. But Greene has had seven games where he scored zero points. The Jayhawks have been able to overcome that on occasion, but are just 4-3 in such games.
If the Jayhawks are going to make a deep NCAA Tournament run, Mason, Oubre and Ellis need to play well. They will be the ones under the microscope, and if Greene can hit shots and stretch the floor, that will make life much easier for the Jayhawks in the tournament.

The photo illustration shows what the completed Irving Hill Road Bridge will look like. Construction on the bridge will begin on May 18 and is expected to take eight to 12 weeks. Gavin Young, assistant director of strategic communications for the University, said the project is being scheduled for summer so the University can close the bridge until construction is completed.

The construction and renovation of the Irving Hill Road bridge will begin on May 18. University officials confirmed.
The project is expected to take about eight to 12 weeks to complete and will conclude before the end of July, said Gavin Young, assistant director of strategic communications for the University. This is the third time the project has been delayed.
Complaints against the height of the railings on the bridge began last spring when the construction of the new Daisy Hill dorms forced
Young said closing the bridge altogether during the summer would lower costs. The summer would allow crews to work without interruption.
students to park at the Lied Center.
The predictability of the summer weather also helped with the decision to change construction dates. The summer construction will also help the University to cooperate with the city on lane closures on Iowa Street.
Young said there will never be more than one lane closed at a time. Also, the closures will be limited to the workday. Closures in that area will work better during the summer months as compared to the
regular school year, he said.
Improvements to the bridge will focus mainly on safety concerns. Current sidewalks on the bridge will be widened from 5 feet to 8 feet. This will allow 6 feet of walking space when considering the 3-foot-high crash barriers that will be added on the roadside. The current 30-inch-high tube raillings will be replaced with a 54-inch-high railing.
The streetlights will be upgraded to LED, as they already are on Jayhawk Boulevard, and both sides of the bridge will be landscaped to direct the walkways on both sides through to the bridge, said Young.
As previously reported by
the Kansan, the overpass will also sport a fresh coat of new KU blue paint on the girders of the bridge and railings. Additionally, the overpass will feature white lettering reading, "The University of Kansas" on the north side and, "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" on the south side. according to KU Today.
Young said the team at KU Design Construction Management saw limited options for new railings when looking at possible choices. This prompted the idea for the new signage.
"The idea just came about that, well, if were going to do this, what if we fixed it up, painted the whole thing KU blue and made it clear this is
University of Kansas campus that you're passing under," Young said.
Parking will be adjusted for groups who rotate in and out of the dorms during the summer months so that there's room for everyone to park on the east side of the bridge, Young said.
Young also said KU Endowment and DCM are looking for donors particularly to assist with the cost of the landscaping on the project.

Uncork Kansas bill making its way to House
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Local liquor store owners and public officials are at odds whether the Uncork Kansas bill is beneficial for Kansans or not. Many public officials are on the fence.
If the bill is passed to the floor of the Kansas House of Representatives, liquor, wine and full-strength beer could be stocked on the shelves of local convenience and grocery stores.
The House bill was passed through the Committee on Commerce, Labor and Economic Development on Feb. 25. From there, the bill is eligible to be voted on by the House of Representatives. Rep. Mark Hutton (R-Wichita) is committee chair and said he wouldn't be surprised if the bill is brought to the floor within the next few weeks.
"There was a lot of testimony from the large retailers who want this product as to why they believe this would be good for Kansas," Hutton said. "Then, the small liquor store owners testified this would be a bad thing."
If the bill is-passed on the House floor, it will move to the Senate to be heard and possibly voted on. Right now the changes would take place in three years. If amended, it could become five or 10 years.
If it passes both chambers, without an amendment, these beverages would be on shelves in three years. Currently, 44 states allow some form of alcohol sales in their grocery stores, according to the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association.
"When it gets to the House floor and people ask how I'll vote, I don't know." Hutton said. "It is about where the bill ends up; amendments can be added on the floor that may totally change the makeup of the bill."
The controversy surrounding the bill is the possibility of the smaller, mom-and-pop liquor stores being forced out of business when and if the big box retailers, grocery stores and convenience stores begin carrying alcoholic beverages.
"This is, from day one, more of an issue of how do we fairly transition the industry towards more opportunity for both the large retailers and the small companies," he said.
"We like keeping Kansas money in Kansas," he said. "Independent store owners employ Kansas bookkeepers and Kansas lawyers and buy from Kansas companies, so the money circulates in the community. Just look what has happened when a big box store locates in small town America. Why do we want to duplicate that at small chain liquor stores?"
Trent Duncan, lobbyist for the Kansas Wine and Spirits Wholesale Association, supports the independent Kansas liquor stores. He said he worries with this bill, much of the profit will vanish out of state to where the larger retailers are headquartered.
Under current law, each person in a household may have one liquor license. The proposed law would create a cap on liquor licenses. In three years, a retailer wanting to sell liquor would have to purchase a permit from one of
the three closest liquor stores to their location.
"If this goes through, it would put over half of the liquor stores in Kansas out of business," Walter said. "We've been handcuffed the way the system is now. If we could have had 15 stores, we would have. But now I'm still paying off loans. Now they can have all these stores when 'they've kept us down."
Christian Walter, owner of Myers Retail Liquor on 23rd Street, and his wife both have owned liquor stores in the past, though now they own only one. Walter has spoken to numerous legislators and lobbyists, urging them to vote this bill down.
Stan Frownfelter (D-Wyandotte) is on the Committee on Commerce, Labor and Economic Development and said when the Uncork Kansas lobby began pushing this roughly five years ago, he made it a point to visit every liquor store in his district to learn the percentages of beer, wine and liquor sales. He said with nearly 70 percent of the sales being beer, he doubts a local liquor store could survive if this bill passes.
"If you're wanting to comeingle among two different industries, if you give away strong beer, you lose one industry," he said. "Seriously, in three years there will be four liquor stores left. They won't be able to survive."
In his district, Frownfelter said he's encountered numerous store owners who are worrying how they'll be able to make their future plans come true if this bill passes.
"I talked to one gentleman
Another issue raised is that underage individuals will be more exposed to liquor, both increasing theft and the rate at which underage people consume alcohol. Duncan cited the multiple thefts that took place in Washington after the state allowed liquor in grocery stores as a warning to Kansas. According' to KOMO News in Seattle, one theft ring made off with nearly $4,000 worth of liquor from an area grocery store.
who's a year older than me and he told me, I figured my mortgage would be paid off on the building when I'm 70, and I'd sell it and thatd be my retirement. I won't last a year if this goes through," Frownelter said.
"The state of Washington, several years ago, allowed the big box stores and grocers to start selling alcohol and liquor and the theft rate skyrocketed." Duncan said.
"It seems to be a questionable public policy," Duncan said. "Underage persons are easily identifiable in a liquor store. But in grocery stores, persons of all ages are there and access is more available.
"I think, you'd hope, [in] the long run the Kansas consumer would benefit from it," he said. "Clearly, the big box stores aren't going after this because it's just something they want to do, it's a profit potential for them. I know everyone says they're greedy. But then aren't the liquor stores in the business to make money too?"
While Frownfelter said he cautiously doubts the bill will pass, Hutton has higher hopes and sees it as beneficial for consumers.
Hutton said he anticipates
an amendment transitioning only beer into grocery stores instead of beer, liquor and wine.
"There's people that think to slow down the march to grocery, all they should get to sell is strong beer," he said. "I'm pretty sure someone will come with an amendment on that, and it may stand a decent chance of passing. I think, absolutely, it would make it easier for people to vote for it."
While no one is making a definitive statement whether it'll pass or not, Frownfelter said he believes the makeup of the House will work against the bill that he sees as a detriment to Kansas.
"You've got the liberals, moderates, conservatives and the nutballs out in right field," he said. "They're against anything alcohol-related. Then there are the ones that are for small business.
I don't think it's a good idea. I have third generation liquor stores in my area where I knew the grandfather, the father and the son right now, and I see no good that can come from this"

Associate professor researches Latino child welfare
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Associate professor of social welfare Michelle Johnson-Motoyama has been conducting research for nearly three years on the needs of Hispanic children in the U.S. child welfare system. Last week, she hosted a webinar based on this research and offered training to better serve these children and their families.
KANSAN:
Why did you choose to begin researching?
JOHNSON-MOTOYAMA:
For the past two decades, my area of research and practice has been child welfare, and I was interested in knowing how Latino children of immigrants involved in the system were
faring developmentally. In the United States, 90 percent of Latino children of immigrants are U.S. born and U.S. citizens, but their families may be of mixed statuses, and immigration policies can impact their ability to access needed health and early intervention services.
KANSAN:
What did your research conclude?
For starters, in 2003, there were a set of policy' changes that were made to increase collaboration between child welfare and early intervention systems, and required children under three to receive referral to the intervention system if they had been abused or neglected. After evaluating these changes, the study
showed while 100 percent of children should have received referral, only a mere 18 percent did. Also, Latina children of immigrants demonstrated the greatest developmental need but were the least likely to receive services.
KANSAN:
How can these problems be fixed?
JOHNSON-MOTOYAMA:
We plan to continue conducting research that helps us better understand these challenges kids are facing. We also want to develop the capacity for technical resources and assistance services to help agencies identify problems.
What did the Webinar cover?
KANSAN
JOHNSON-MOTOYAMA:
We provided research and offered different promising practices in order to combat some of the problems with the current system. Some of the topics included brain development, education and the highly specific and unique needs of Hispanic children of immigrants.
Why do you think this topic is important for people to know about?
KANSAN:
JOHNSON-MOTOYAMA:
By 2050, Latino children will make up one-third of the U.S. child population, which is about the same proportion as non-Hispanic whites. These children represent an integral part of our nation's shared future, so it's important to
identify barriers that may be disproportionately impeding early childhood development along with solutions.
KANSAN:
How will you continue to draw attention to social welfare issues?
JOHNSON-MOTOYAMA:
The KU Center for Public Partnerships and the Center for Children and Families actually just held a screening event for the film, "Raising of America." This documentary will be released later this year, and it highlights the strains that young families face as they juggle unpaid parental leave, a lack of universally offered high-quality child care, and growing rates of poverty in the U.S. that make childcare difficult, if not impossible, for some families
to pay for.
KANSAN:
Aside from your research, what are you passionate about?
JOHNSON-MOTOYAMA:
The U.S. is plagued by increasing income inequality. My dream is for children to begin life and experience childhood on a level playing ground, so that every child has the opportunity to succeed no matter their race or ethnicity, social class, religion, or any other form of diversity. I want to see our society become a "smart society," that invests in the future through minimum living standards and through high quality educational opportunities starting in early childhood through adulthood.
Victims to relive horror of Boston bombing as trial begins
Edited by Victoria Kirk
DENISE LAVOIE
Associated Press
BOSTON — In the two years since twin bombs tore through crowds at the Boston Marathon finish line, the case against suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has focused on arguments over where his trial should be held, who should sit on the jury and what evidence prosecutors should be allowed to use.
But starting Wednesday, a day after a jury was selected, the focus will shift dramatically from the legal process to the harsh reality of what happened that day: the explosions, the
screams, the chaos and the blood.
Prosecutors are expected to present graphic images of the carriage caused by the bombs, including a surveillance video that authorities say shows Tarsnaev placing a backpack just feet from 8-year-old Martin Richard and his family. The boy died in the explosion.
The bombs set April 15, 2013, killed three people and injured more than 260. At least 16 people lost limbs.
"When people start streaming into that courthouse many with missing limbs and the prosecutors get up off their chairs and start talking
about this again, people are going to relive the enormity and the awful nature of this," said Gerry Leone, a former state and federal prosecutor who led the prosecution of shoe bomber Richard Reid but is not involved in the Tsarnaev case.
"It wouldn't surprise me to see the young boy's parents as the first witnesses. Offentimes, in a homicide case, you humanize the victims right away, and you're brought right back to that day." Leone said.
a blast from the second bomb killed Martin and tore off his 7-year-old sister's left leg. Lingzi Lu, 23, a Boston
University graduate student, was also killed by that blast. Krystal Campbell, a 29-year-old restaurant manager from Medford, was killed by the first bomb.
Authorities say Tsarnaev, then 19, and his older brother, Tamerlan. 26—ethnic Chechens who had lived in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan and the volatile Dagestan region of Russia—carried out the bombings to retaliate against the U.S. for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The brothers' came to the U.S. with their parents and two sisters about a decade before the bombings.

Boston Police Special Operations officers use a bomb-sniffing dog while searching a vehicle on a street near the federal courthouse in Boston Tuesday. A panel of 12 jurors and six alternates was seated Tuesday after two months of jury selection for the federal death penalty trial of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
lamertian Tsarnaev died following a shootout with police several days after the bombings. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, now 21, faces 30 federal charges in the bombings and in the fatal shooting of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer days later. Seventeen of the charges carry the possibility of the death penalty.
Some bombing survivors have said they plan to attend the trial; others say they have no desire to be there.
"It's not something I feel I need to do," said Jarrod Clowery, who suffered burns and shrapnel wounds. "I have closure in my life. I'm happy. I have a second chance at life, and I'm living it."
Clowery was watching the marathon with his friends, Paul and J.P. Norden, when the bombs exploded. The Nordens each lost a leg.
The Norden brothers also plan to stay away from the trial, but their mother, Liz, plans to be there every day. The trial is expected to last three to four months.
"It's important to me. I take it personally, what happened to my family," she said.
In addition to the video, prosecutors also plan to show jurors what they call a confession Tsarnaev scrawled inside the boat he was hiding in.
"The US Government is killing our innocent civilians but most of you already know that. ... I can't stand to see such evil go unpunished. We Muslims are one body, you
hurt one you hurt us all," the note allegedly says.
"Stop killing our innocent people and we will stop."
Tsarnaev's lawyers have made it clear that they plan to depict Tamerlan Tsarnaev as the mastermind of the attack and a powerful force in his brother's life.
Legal analysts say portraying Tamerlan as a coercive influence will likely not be enough to win Dzhokhar an acquittal but could be a significant piece of the defense argument against the death penalty. After the guilt phase of the trial, the same jury will decide whether he should be sentenced to life in prison without parole or the death penalty.
The jury was chosen Tuesday after nearly two months of jury selection. The all-white panel consists of 10 women and eight men, including a self-employed house painter, an air traffic controller, a former emergency room nurse and an executive assistant at a law firm.
Tsarnaev may also get some help from his family. One of his sisters, Ailina Tsarnaeva, plans to attend at least part of the trial.
Liz Norden said she can't quite put her finger on why she feels such a strong need to be there.
"It's not about going and looking evil in the eye and seeing him. I realize I will never get the answers, but it's just very important to me that I go and see."
Dining Services Director receives Silver Plate award
The Silver Plate award recognizes the most outstanding operators in the entire food industry.
the University's Dining Director Nona Golledge has been awarded a Silver Plate in the colleges and universities category by the International Facility Management Association (IFMA.)
KU Dining held a ceremony and news conference Tuesday to honor Golledge's achievement, which was officially announced by the IFMA at 1 p.m. that day.
Golledge is one of seven leaders selected for a Silver Plate award and she will receive recognition from the IFMA on May 18 in Chicago. There, one of the seven finalists will receive a Gold Plate award.
"It's truly humbling to be recognized in this manner," Golledge said. "I consider the Silver Plate a team award. It has been the leadership team that has made this possible. They are outstanding professionals in all areas of dining."
Golledge has been director of KU Dining since 2006. She said that KU Dining's efforts in sustainability and food allergies were factors that led to her receiving the award.
"I think the honor of this is that in our everyday experience with her and her work, she has shown an honorable commitment to good value, good practice, and good service with an emphasis on serving the larger community," Mucci said.
"We know that we are being consumers of resources so we do what we can to create a sustainable future for future generations," Golledge said.
"I think her KU service achievements will make her a campus icon not unlike her venerated predecessor Mrs. [Lenoir D.J.Ekdahl] I think we have someone of that caliber of achievement."

For the future. Golledge mentioned new residential dining projects and continued sustainability and food allergy efforts.
David Mucci, Kansas Union director, presented the award to Golledge at the news conference.
SSAB searches for funding, fights for safety fee
After funding debates, the Student Safety Advisory Board considered a 25 cent fee raise that could bring in thousands per year to fund safety projects.
The advisory board debated funding for several different projects on Tuesday, including the repaving of a sidewalk leading to scholarship halls and installation of security cameras around the same area.
SSAB is now looking to the Finance Committee to amend the bill and hopefully still raise the fee by 25 or 50 cents. Garrett Farlow, chair of the board, said a 25 cent fee could bring in $20,000 a year to fund additional safety projects.
SSAB proposed to the Student Senate Fee Review Committee in an attempt to bring back the Campus Safety Fee for undergraduate students. The fee was cut in 2009 and the proposed $2 was turned down by Student Senate.
"it's important for everyone to have a little bit of a buy in. The rec center is all student dollars, and that's over three million," Farlow said. "We need
The board also discussed the funding for the All Scholarship Hall Council's rain garden that plans to repave the sidewalk that goes from campus to the scholarship halls. SSAB originally planned on splitting the cost of the project with the Office of the Provost, but the group was turned down.
Despite the rejection, the advisory board plans on returning to the provost and asking the office to split costs for the lighting portion of the project, rather than the entire garden. The cost for the two new light poles will be $14,163 compared with the $53,773 total cost.
SSAB will also speak with Design & Construction Management in hopes of reducing the contingency fees.
The Louisiana camera project is also moving forward. The board voted on the $26,700 plan, which will be funded by the Public Safety Office. The project will include the future installation of three security cameras along Louisiana and 14th streets down to the scholarship halls.
To account for another portion of the cost, Student Housing will pay $23,400 for the sidewalk and stairs.

Sex education for children should come at a young age
Madeline Umali
@madelineumali
Parents need to be educating their children about sex. According to a study by the University of Southampton, it is often argued that this is too inappropriate for their age and destroys a child's innocence, but teaching children about sex at an early age will be beneficial for that child as he or she gets older.
"FOR PARENTS, THE EASIEST SIGN THAT IT IS TIME TO TALK ABOUT SEX IS WHEN THEIR CHILD ASKS."
It seems that our society is very passive when it comes to sex education. If parents don't teach their children about sex, children will learn about it through their peers at school or the media, simply by default. For the best understanding of sexual development, children should be learning about this subject in stages, throughout the course of their adolescent and teenage life.
Children should feel comfortable enough to discuss this topic in their household. According to a 2014 study, children are encouraged to learn about sex from their parents
to avoid misinformation, confusion and sex myths. For children to have a healthy understanding of sex, they need time to digest what they learn. Parenting.com advises that children should start by learning the correct anatomical names for their private parts by the age of two or three and continue to learn other sexual topics such as how babies are made, intercourse and their values regarding sex as they get older.
For parents, the easiest sign that it is time to talk about sex is when their child asks. If parents answer every question in an honest age-appropriate way, then children will start to develop a healthy understanding of their sexuality They will not feel ashamed for their curiosity and may be comfortable enough to talk about their own concerns or experiences.
When providing information about sex to children, parents must be aware of the appropriateness of the facts they're teaching. I am not suggesting that they teach their 4-year-old about advanced sexual topics, but I am suggesting that the best way for parents to have an open communication about sex with their children is by introducing it at an early age. It is important that children have a clear understanding of their own sexuality and that we have parents who are willing to discuss it.

Children's sex education should be saved until puberty
Monica Saha
@sahahahaha
One of the most difficult talks parents will have with their children is about sex. It's
children is about sex. It's easy to think this topic is solely about sex, but covers: oral sex, birth control, sexually transmitted disease, sexual assault, and much more. Discussing these issues in our generation happens earlier and becomes harder when children are exposed to sex from the media and start asking questions. However, there is no reason for parents to formally educate their children about sex before they hit puberty.
Puberty occurs differently for males and females. According to Kids Health, on average women start puberty at age 10, while males start later, at age 11. This is started by hormonal signals that stimulate sexual libido and growth. By 4th and 5th grade, children will experience sexual arousal. This is the time to sit down with them and listen to their sexual feelings/changes they are experiencing and inform them the precautions of sex, such as using condoms, birth control and STDs. The child, who will soon become a teenager, is more mature around the time of puberty and can fully comprehend these topics.
The brain of a child who is 4-5 is drastically different than that of a 10- or 11-year-old. A 4-year-old is learning how to ride a bicycle and use a fork or spoon. They shouldn't be aware that a penis could penetrate a women's vagina. The prefrontal cortex
the area in the brain responsible for higher thinking and decision making, is one of the last brain regions to mature. A child this young could not fully understand the complexities of sex.
Knowing about sex at too young of an age could further confuse or halt the appropriate sexual development with a child. For example, children could play more aggressively with others such as inappropriate tackling and touching. Others could start playing the game "I'll show you mine, you show me yours" at a younger age. There needs to be a level of innocence maintained with children.
It is important to sit down and talk to children about the difference between males and females, but in a child friendly fashion. This includes using cartoon pictures or dolls to show biological differences. They need to have some idea of what "private" parts are, as children are vulnerable and need to know the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching.
Parents and kids need to have a mutual trust between each other regarding conversations about sex. Trustworthy communication will help when the child is ready to have a formal discussion on sex education, but only when they are mature enough to process this information.

Stereotyping women by their sorority is wrong
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritz
Sorority girls wear Uggs and buy Starbucks like it's an addiction. They monogram everything and travel in packs. These assumptions appear to be harmless, but the true injustice begins when harmful stereotypes (ex. "sluts," "stuck up") are tacked onto a woman because of the Greek letters she wears.
Twelve sorority houses are on the University's campus, and twelve stereotypes go with each one. Even if you aren't involved in the Greek community, odds are you still have a pretty good idea of what I am referring to. "That chapter doesn't party," "all the girls in that chapter are fat" and "those girls sleep around" may be common phrases that you hear when you
The women in these organizations are aware that their peers are thrusting these stereotypes upon them. It's hard to ignore the several comments you come across everyday on social media making fun of sorority women. These problems become even harder to ignore when you find one of your sorority sisters crying in the bathroom because a male at a party assumed he could have sex with her due to her chapter's stereotype. Sorority women are mocked publicly, yet they bite their tongues because they don't know who will defend them. Even sororities judge other sorority
ask what a certain sorority chapter is like. Answers such as: "They do a lot of community service" or "They are well known for their philanthropy" are as rare as a snow day at the University.
chapters, addressing them in accord to what chapter they are in. The constant mockery and humiliation of a student's character based off which chapter she is a part of needs to stop.
Posting negative and derogatory comments on Twitter, Yik Yak and other social media accounts poking fun at women in Greek organizations should not be tolerated. This doesn't apply to only women in Greek life either — negative jokes about any group of people are tasteless and uneducated. These comments and attitudes harm the image of targeted individuals, while also hurting those who partake in the creation and tolerance of these stereotypes
There may be one girl who sleeps around more than what society deems appropriate, a girl who goes
out to the bars too often, or that one sorority girl who literally "can't even," but

food feed is gumbo and hush puppies
The fried alligator po'boy is just one of the many po'boys Terrebonne offers, along with other traditional Cajun food such as gumbo and hush puppies.
Adam Swerdlow
@AdamSwerdlow
Lawrence has a myriad of hole-in-the-wall restaurants that are often overshadowed by some of the larger powerhouse restaurants on Massachusetts Street. One of these hidden gems, located at 805 Vermont St., is Terrebonne. Not everyone is aware of its existence, but if you live in Lawrence, you have to check this place out.
Terrebonne is a tiny restaurant, in terms of size, that specializes in Cajun and Creole cuisine. Cajun food is classic Louisiana food, made up of ingredients readily available in the Acadia region of Louisiana, such as crawfish, okra, alligator and pork. Creole cuisine is similar to Cajun food but relies more on French cooking techniques.
Prefect cooking techniques Since Terrebonne is so small, it has limited seating. You may want to order your food to go if you decide to eat at a busy time. There is also outdoor seating available for warmer days.
Since Terrebonne is known for its po'boys, and is one of the few places where you can order alligator, I decided to order an alligator po'boy. Po'boys are sandwiches on French bread with various options of meat or seafood
— anything from shrimp to sausage to crawfish — topped with lettuce, onion, tomato and a spicy mayo mustard sauce. I also got a side of hush puppies (a house favorite) and a cup of gumbo. Hush puppies are deep fried corn
fritters and gumbo is a stew consisting of a variety of different meats, seafood and vegetables. My order totaled under $14.
I started with the gumbo and hush puppies. The gumbo was thick, like it should be, and in every spoonful I was treated to a different chunk of meat or vegetable. The gumbo wasn't bad, but was lacking in flavor. I was hoping for a rich seafood
flavor accompanied by a spicy broth, but I detected neither. The hush puppies were delicious, however. Hush puppies are a simple dish by nature, but I found mine delightful nonetheless: crispy and crunchy on the outside while still being soft on the inside.
But now, to the main dish,
my gator po'boy. If you've
never eaten alligator, you may
be curious as to what it tastes
like. It sounds like a cliché
comparison, but gator really does taste a lot like chicken. I found my gator po'boy to be a bit more tender than the chicken, of which my friend let my try a bite.
The tender, deep-fried alligator meat was accompanied by a very dynamic sauce. The sauce is a mixture of spicy mayo, creole mustard, hot sauce and chili sauce. Don't let the words "hot" and "chill" scare you off — the sauce was
quite mild. The sandwich was terrific overall.
if you live in Lawrence and haven't tried, or even heard of, Terrebonne, you need to do yourself a favor and check it out. Terrebonne is one of those restaurants that really makes Lawrence such a diverse hub of cuisine destinations.

Theater students portray love through song
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Music swells as the show begins, introducing the audience to what love is represented through song. As the production continues, sounds echo and each sound is tailored to represent love in different ways.
I will be there for you.
The musical song cycle, "Love Is...," written by Michael Wysong, a sophomore from Larned, and Brody Horn, a senior from Columbus, present love as an idea, something that is both tumultuous and understanding. During auditions for "Love is..." potential candidates filled out a brief questionnaire asking what love meant to them.
"Everyone had so many interesting responses," Wyson said. "My absolute favorite one was where someone wrote down 'Love is gentle,' then scratched it out and wrote 'Shit.' I was like, 'That's great. I love that. Theres a song there.'"
"Love is..." features a scene of a couple in turmoil periodically interrupted by numerous songs about relationships and love. Each song tells a story with a different character than the last, and a different story than the subplot scene.
"There's one woman who comes out and sings about how she's an actress and she left to go pursue her dreams," Wysong said. "There's a guy who thinks his girlfriend is cheating on him and is going through her cell phone; that's just a fun song."

Wysong and Horn met last year in a cabaret class. Although their styles of music were different, the two felt they'd be a great artistic match for one another.
Wysong was also recently awarded a research grant to study musical song cycles, something with very little previous academic work.
"I've been in love, I've been heartbroken, both of those feelings are so opposite, but are from the same place." Horn said. "Writing about heartbreak is much easier than about love because when you're in love, how do you express that?"
"He's got a great voice, and I wanted to write for it," Wysong said.
"I wanted it to be something college students could get into," Wysong said. "I wanted the style of it to meld musical conventions with radio pop. It's not your moth-
"I wanted the style of it to meld musical conventions with radio pop. It's not your mother's musical, but it's also not something your friend would listen to on the radio either."
The two began collaborating on the "Love is..." project last semester. It will premiere on May 9.
He said the two started writing pop songs together based on their own experiences and those of others.
MICHAEL WYSONG Sophomore from Larned
Song cycles differ from musicals in that there isn't a major plot carrying through the production. A song cycle has theme that carries throughout the show, but not necessarily characters or plots.
Wysong will travel to New York City during spring break to attend shows, meet writers of other song cycles and spend time working in his field.
"The grant was icing on the cake," he said. "The research is my baby, but the show is our child."
John Staniunas, a professor in the Department of Theatre, is Wysong's mentor for the academic grant. Staniunas met Wysong last year and said Wysong blew him
"He was immediately cast in our first musical." Stanianus said. "He's very impressive musically. He knows music extremely well and of all the students I've ever had, he's the most knowledgeable about musical theater I've ever taught."
Between the grant and the production, Staniunas said Wysong is setting himself up for future success.
away.
Horn recognized his concerns as well, but said he believes audiences will find a piece of themselves in the music.
"Scholarship, research and production are the best of all three worlds coming together," he said. "I think Michael is very driven, and he's going to make a mark in musical theater one way or another. We're very excited he's part of our program."
But, Horn said, the planning and execution of this milestone can also be nerve wracking.
"It's really exciting, but it's also terrifying," Horn said. "It's the first time we've shared our songs with public audiences. It's very... new for both of us."
Staniunas said some of Wysong's best attributes are his musicianship, sense of humor, his "crazy, wacky way of looking at the world" and his passion.
Wysong said his biggest concern is audiences relating to the work of two college students. Wysong said he worries people will think he and Horn are naive, since both are in their early 20s.
"We're trying to show how love is a complex thing," Horn said. "It's the most complex feeling any human being can have. Hopefully people will leave happy.
"Hopefully, if people don't relate to the whole show, there's at least one song in that people can feel represents how they feel about love in this moment," he said.

YouTube Music Awards returning this month with different format
GERRICK D. KENNEDY Associated Press
After taking a year off, YouTube is set to bring back its awards show on March 23. However, the format for the 2015 YouTube Music Awards is slightly different.
There are 50 winners, selected by number of views — so all those people who watched Beyonce's selfie-driven video for "7/11" to learn the dance moves just helped her win an award. Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, One
Direction, Pentatonix, Lady Gaga, Sam Smith and Katy Perry are also among the winners.
Beyond clicks, winners also showed the biggest growth in views, subscribers and engagement over the last six months on the popular video site. Collectively, the winners have more than 146 million subscribers and 44 billion views from 10 countries.
Instead of a conventional award show - although it should be noted its inaugural 2013 event was far from conventional — YouTube will simultaneously premiere a collection of music videos from both emerging acts and some of the night's winners.
Ed Sheeran, Charli XCX,
Migos, Martin Garrix, Max
Schneider, Cahoots, Megan
Nicole, Nicky Jam and Shamir
will premiere videos directed
by "some of the most original
music video directors alive",
according to a news release.
YouTube has also tapped Vice
Media to produce the event.
The inaugural event was live-streamed from New
York's Pier 36 - and it was a beautiful disaster.
Aside from honoring stars of viral videos, the show staged eight "live music videos" from the likes of Eminem, Arcade Fire, Lady Gaga and Tyler the Creator.
The show was completely unscripted. Gaga wept through one performance. One winner's envelope was buried in cake. And there were crying babies. Despite the mess, or probably because of it, the show attracted 54 million views.

Jayhawks can't hang onto lead, lose 12-4 in Phoenix
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
The Jayhawks were able to gain an early lead against the Grand Canyon 'Lopes, but it would not last, as the team would drop the first game of the midweek series 12-4.
Kansas senior Dakota Smith put the Jayhawks on the board early with a two RBI single with the bases loaded, scoring
Colby Wright and Matt McLaughlin.
The first inning would not belong to the Jayhawks, however, as Grand Canyon's sophomore outfielder Brandon Smith hit a three run shot to left center, putting his squad up to end the first.
The Jayhawks' offense responded right away with three more hits in the top of
the second, adding to their four from the first. Junior Colby Wright contributed to that tally with a double to the outfield scoring two for the Jayhawks and putting them up 4-3.
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, there was little to be positive about from there.
plate as they scored nine more runs while giving up only one hit for the rest of the game. Grand Canyon's freshman pitcher Jake Repavich chalked up his third win of the season putting him at 3-0 for the year. Freshman Mick Vorhof would earn the save for the 'Lopes, pitching the last four innings and giving up no runs.
The 'Lopes would control the game on the mound and at the
The Jayhawks' bats couldn't
keep it going after the second inning with eight total hits, seven being in the first two innings. Wright was the Jayhawks' best performer at the plate for the night with two hits and two RBT's in three at-bats. Wright also added to his current NCAA lead after being hit by a pitch for the eighth time this season in just 12 games.
After a shaky start in Phoenix, the Jayhawks will look to repeat the outcome of last year's series with Grand Canyon, which ended in a split. The Jayhawks will return to Brazell Stadium at 3:30 p.m. for the final game of the midweek series.

Mason seals victory over West Virginia

Cool, calm, collected: Frank Mason III wins win over West Virginia
Down 57-49 with less than two-minutes to go, the Jayhawks appeared to be on their way to losing their final home game of the season, while missing out on a chance to clinch the Big 12 title outright at home.
Brannen Greene stepped up to the line and knocked down a couple of free throws, and then Jamari Traylor followed with a layup to cut the West Virginia lead to four. However, the Jayhawks still needed to make up the rest of the margin, and time was running out.
Enter Frank Mason III.
The sophomore from
Petersburg, Virginia rattled off back-to-back baskets on consecutive possessions, and when the second half had finally come to a close, the Jayhawks had managed to tie the game at 59. At that point, Mason had scored 11 points, but wasn't even close to being finished.
"I felt like nobody [could] stay in front of me," Mason said. "Every time I had the ball, I could make something positive happen."
Mason would rattle off eight more points, accounting for just under 50-percent of the team's scoring in the extra period, despite having played a game-high 42 minutes. The Jayhawks would go on to win 76-69, despite trailing at one point by 18 points.
After the game, Kansas
coach Bill Self couldn't help but chuckle when asked about his point guard's performance down the stretch, despite playing so many minutes.
Mason finished the game with 19 points and seven rebounds, but to him, it wasn't at all about the stats. Only one thing was on his mind: Winning.
Mason also said that he drew inspiration from the 2008 National Championship team that won the title despite being down nine points with less than two minutes left. He said the "little things like that" were
"We couldn't get anything to fall; guys were missing threes," Mason said. "Not once did I think [we would lose]. We kept believing in each other."
"He's in great shape," Self said with a smile.
With the win, the Jayhawks secured the Big 12 title outright, but the game held a little extra meaning in Mason's mind, for a couple of reasons. With it being the final home game of the year, the Jayhawks had one last chance to get a win for senior Christian Garrett, but Mason added that the win was for even more than just the senior.
what let the team know that they could make a run, and he certainly played like it down the stretch.
"We wanted to do it for [Christian], but also for the program [and] for the fans," Mason said. "We made it happen."

Junior Briana Evans earns Big 12 Player of the Week Honors
Kansas junior outfielder Briana Evans earned Big 12 Player of the Week honors on Tuesday. Evans is the second Jayhawk to earn this honor after senior pitcher Alicia Pille was awarded the accolade last week.
This is Evans' first Big 12 weekly honor of her Kansas career.
19 runs scored.
In the UNF Home Tournament last weekend, Evans tied for the team lead with six hits and led the No. 25 Jayhawks with four runs scored. Her performance helped the team reach a 17-1 record with wins over Stony Brook, North Florida and Siena in Jacksonville, Fla. Evans recorded a .600 batting average, added three walks and stole two bases last weekend.
This was not the only honor the Jayhawks softball team earned on Tuesday. After breaking into some national Top 25 polls last week for the first time since 2011, the Jayhawks found their way onto both major national polls on Tuesday. Kansas now holds a No. 25 ranking in the ESPN Top 25 poll, as well as a No. 25 ranking in the USA Today/Coaches poll.
As Kansas' leadoff hitter this season, Evans led the Jayhawks with a .424 batting average this season and leads the team with

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who will be the most important sophomore for Kansas' tournament success?
Jacob Clemen
@jclemn9
FRANK MASON III
The Jayhawks clinched a share of their 11th straight Big 12
11th straight Big 12 conference championship Monday night when Iowa State defeated Oklahoma 77-70 in Ames, allowing fans to look ahead to the excitement of postseason basketball.
For Kansas, success in the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments will hinge largely on the play of standout junior forward Perry Ellis, a likely Big 12 player of the year candidate.
There is, however, a group of important sophomores that will need to step up in order for Kansas to survive and advance in March. Landen Lucas, Brannen Greene, Wayne Selden Jr. and Frank Mason III will all be integral to the Jayhawks' hopes.
While each of these sophomore players will have a role to play for Kansas, it's the play of point guard Mason that will decide whether the Jayhawks are able to sustain a lengthy postseason run.
Mason is the jayhawks' Swiss Army Knife. He's a solid scorer, averaging 12.1 points per game, good for second on
the team, with an efficient .455 field goal percentage. He leads the team in both minutes per game at 33.3 and in assists per game at 4.3 as the most trusted initiator of Bill Self's offense.
He is fourth on the team in rebounds per game at 3.7, a solid mark for a guard, and is even outpacing junior forward Jamari Traylor in that category.
Certainly, fellow starter Selden could be a big factor in Kansas' success, but it is Mason's contributions that are harder to replace. Freshman Devonte' Graham is the only true backup point guard, while Selden's position at the wing is flush with talent. Should Selden have an off game, Self could turn to Greene, freshman Kelly Oubre Jr. or freshman Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk to replicate Selden's abilities.
Self said it himself in an interview with the Kansas City Star earlier in the season
"We won't have a more valuable player," Self said. "He may not be our best player, but I think he's as valuable as anybody that we'll have in our squad night in and night out."
guard play can carry a team through the tournament. Connecticut relied heavy on standouts Ryan Boatright and Shabazz Napier, the tournament's Most
While rebounding defense and post scoring are important for tournament success, last year's UConn team showed that excellent
"CERTAINLY, FELLOW STARTER SELDEN COULD BE A BIG FACTOR IN KANSAS' SUCCESS BUT IT IS MASON'S CONTRIBUTIONS THAT ARE HARDER TO REPLACE."
Outstanding Player, en route to an NCAA championship.
Kansas will need strong guard play if it hopes to go on a similar run this season, and Mason is up to the task. His ability to both manage the offense and score on his own, as well as his toughness, hard-nosed defense and knack for grabbing boards as a guard will all need to be on full display if Kansas hopes to survive and advance in March.
WAYNE SELDEN JR.
Matthew Corte
@UDK_Corte
Save the past couple sweeks and the emergence of Perry Ellis, Frank Mason has been the Jayhawks' best player all year. Because of that, we already know how high the Jayhawks' ceiling is with him at his peak. They're a good team, but not one that can compete for a national championship.
The same can't be said for the player whom Kansas fans saw as arguably the team's best coming into the year, Wayne Selden Jr.
He's the de facto pick for most important sophomore, simply because no one knows what the jayhawks' ceiling is when Selden's clicking with the rest of the team.
Here's a crazy stat: excluding last night's game against West Virginia, Selden has made 45 three-point field goals, compared to just 44 two-point field goals. On two-point field goals, he's shooting just 34 percent, whereas from beyond the arc, Selden is shooting a solid 40 percent. Of all the regular rotation players, Selden ranks last in field goal percentage at 37 percent, 6 percent lower than the next
plaver, Landen Lucas.
As long as Selden continues his poor shooting from everywhere but behind the arc, Kansas won't make it any further than they did last year.
Having played the secondmost minutes on the season at 30 per game, it's essential that he figures out how to convert from two-point range like he did last season.
In 2013-2014, Selden shot 53 percent from two-point range, almost 20 percent higher than
"ALTHOUGH MASON IS THE ENGINE THAT MAKES KANSAS RUN, SELDEN IS... THE MOST IMPORTANT TO ITS NCAA TOURNAMENT RUN."
this year.
If he can halve that percentage difference and shoot around 43 percent for the remainder of the season, the Jayhawks will compete on a whole new level in tournament play. Selden isn't the most important sophomore because of what he's done so far this
season, but because of what he can do.
Also, consider this: of the six losses Kansas has had this year, Selden managed to score less than ten points in four of them. Being the third leading scorer on the team, it's essential that he puts up respectable point totals in every game.
Selden is also integral defensively. Rather than have an athletic freshman like Kelly Oubre Jr. defend the opposing team's best wing player, coach Bill Self will most likely have Selden, the Jayhawks' most physical wing, in that important position. At 6'5 and over 230 pounds, Selden has a man's body in a boy's game. His physical presence and ability to play lock-down man defense should wear down the other team's best player.
Although Mason is the engine that makes Kansas run, Selden is undoubtedly the most important to its NCAA tournament run. If he's able to break out of his shooting slump and continue to defend at an elite level, then it'd be no surprise to see the Jayhawks playing in the Sweet Sixteen. If not, however, don't be shocked by another disappointing first weekend in the Big Dance.

BASKETBALL REWIND
HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF (40-26)
The Mountaineers jumped all over the Jayhawks in the first half, pushing to a 17-6 lead. The Jayhawks couldn't seem to hit a shot, and it only got worse. The Mountaineers led Kansas by 18 points with less than 90 seconds left in the half. However, an unlikely hero, Hunter Mickelson, kept the Jayhawks in the game and led the team with six points at the break. By this time, the margin was held at a manageable 14-points.
2ND HALF/OVERTIME (76-69)
Without Perry Ellis, the Jayhawks battled back in the second half but trailed by eight points with less than two minutes to go. At that point, Jamari Traylor and Frank Mason put the team on their back as Kansas forced overtime. The Jayhawks ultimately held on to pull off the improbable comeback. After the game, head coach Bill Self remarked that it had been one of the best games he'd been a part of at Allen Fieldhouse.
GAME TO REMEMBER
MICHAEL BROOKS
Frank Mason III
In the first half, Mason only scored five points, but the whole team had nothing going for it. When Kansas was down eight with just two minutes left in the game, Mason scored six of the last eight points to tie the game and send it into overtime. Mason scored six of his 19 points in overtime, and led Kansas to a 76-69 win over West Virginia.
GAME TO FORGET
Proponent Crepe
Brannen Greene
Greene has been cold from behind the arc for the past four games, combining for 1-of-9 shooting. Tonight, it was a different game but same scenario. Greene couldn't hit anything. He was 0-for-5 from three, and 0-for-6 from the field. Many times, Self gave Greene the ball down the stretch to give Kansas a lift. He missed all three three-pointers under two minutes when Kansas was down three. Greene is on a cold streak, and he didn't help his cause tonight.
UNSUNG HERO
CITY OF NEW YORK
Jamari Traylor
Kansas coach Bill Self called Traylor the best player on the floor. After Perry Ellis left the game with a sprained knee, Traylor scored 14 points on 5-for-9 from the field and grabbed nine rebounds. Traylor was the spark plug for the Kansas team. Without Traylor, Kansas wouldn't have won this game, because Traylor provided an inside presence by playing 23 second half and overtime minutes.

COMMENTARY
College baseball starts way too early
No, not the sport itself.
I love the sport and have enjoyed covering it the last two years. What's stupid is the mysterious monster that is the NCAA.
I am currently in a Florida airport typing this column. By the time this column hits print in the Wednesday paper, I'll be in Arizona.
Why? Because college baseball is stupid.
Shane Jackson
@jacksonshane3
Every year, college baseball begins in mid-February, around the time major leaguers start Spring Training. Major league teams hold spring training in warm states, such as Arizona and Florida.
College baseball is no different. During the month of February and even into early March, a majority of the games are being played in "warm-weather" states.
Even a casual fan can see the disadvantage put on the teams located in the "cold weather" states as they forced to travel a bulk of the early season.
Kansas, for instance, played the entire month of February on the road or in neutral locations. The Jayhawks will have played 13 games away from Lawrence and been on the road $^{17}$ of the last 21 days before they host Utah for the home opener this weekend.
This is nothing new for the Jayhawks, as they have started the season on the road for the last 13 years. This year, Kansas went down to No.2 LSU in front of thousands of fans and were swept in a three-game series. To top it off, even "warm-weather" states are having some early season weather struggles. This past weekend, conference foe TCU had its entire series with Cal Poly snowed out down in Fort Worth, the first time in Cal Poly's division 1 history it lost a series due to weather.
Pushing the start of college baseball to the first weekend of March could fix a majority of those problems. Cold weather states would take a step in evening the playing field, and the players would miss significantly less school
Texas Tech closed Sunday's game to the public due to weather-related public safety concerns. The ground crew cleared the field, but the stands were still covered in snow and ice.
The next hurdle would obviously be how it affects the MLB Draft. But in order for college baseball to maximize its sport, it needs to not worry about how it may affect the big league.
But hey what do I know?
I'm just a rookie radio guy.
Either way, you should come out to "The Hog" this weekend and soak in some good weather and Jayhawk baseball. They are practically in mid-season form by now.

Kansas clinches Big 12 title outright behind 14 second-half points from Jamari Travlor

@Ben_Felderstein
Fighting his way through the pressure, sophomore guard Frank Mason III heaved a near-full-court pass to sophomore guard Wayne Selden Jr. Selden caught the pass and in one motion found junior forward Jamari Traylor cutting to the basket for a tremendous slam dunk. Traylor gave Kansas a two-
On the ensuing overtime possession, sophomore forward Landen Lucas took a charge to send the ball back Kansas' way. The Jayhawks were able to carry this momentum to a 76-69 victory over West Virginia in overtime.
"We're not scared," Traylor said. "We always know there is an opportunity to get back. He [Bill Self] can get on us, but he can encourage too."
point lead in overtime.
One night removed from being crowned Big 12 champions for an 11th straight time, the Jayhawks
pulled off an 18-point comeback to clinch the Big 12 title outright.
Traylor was the spark plug Kansas needed in overtime as the jayhawks outhustled a team that had been outhustling them all game. Traylor recorded a season-

high 14 points on 5-9 shooting with eight rebounds.
Junior forward Jamari Traylor celebrates after his dunk during Tuesday night's game against WVU. Traylor scored 14 points in the second half of Kansas' victory.
"I felt that we had to make plays," Traylor said. "I stepped up and we were making stop after stop."
Traylor came up huge in the absence of junior forward Perry Ellis. Late in the first, Ellis and Landen Lucas collided with one another, sending Ellis to the locker room for the rest of the half. Lucas replaced Ellis in the starting lineup as the junior remained in the locker room for the start of the second.
The Jayhawk offense has relied on Ellis for the majority of the season as he has had 20-point outings in his previous three games, earning Big 12 Player of the Week honors. With Ellis in the locker room, Kansas' offense needed a new leader, which it found in Traylor.
"Jamari was the best player in the game for us no question," Self said. "We got eight offensive rebounds and he got six of them. I thought he played great."
With ten seconds to play in regulation, freshman guard Devonte' Graham sunk two free throws that left Kansas one possession away from sending the game into overtime. A rushed three from Jevon Carter sealed the deal as the two teams went into extra time tied at 59.
Kansas' ability to get defensive stops down the stretch, combined with West Virginia's inability to make its free throws, allowed the Jayhawks right back into the game. Point guards Mason and Graham scored Kansas' final six points of regulation.
Just as Selden began finding his touch, a non-contact injury found Selden heading Ellis' way. Minutes later, Selden returned and checked right back into the game upon arrival.
Every time the Jayhawks seemed to make the game close, the Mountaineers would force a turnover or knock in an open jumper
to extend their lead. After Kansas went on a 5-0 run Daxter Miles Jr. hit a three to put the lead back to nine. But Kansas continued to chip away with sole possession of a Big 12 ring on the line.
"We wanted to finish the night and cut down the nets here," Traylor said. "We never really get a chance to do that. It was special."
With the absence of perennial Big 12 Player of the Year Juwan Staten, Miles had to step up and fill the scoring void. Miles scored 23 points on 8-15 shooting.
Early in the season, Kansas was winning games with its ability to shoot the three-ball as well as any other team in the country. Kansas has been ice cold from deep as of late as the Jayhawks failed to make one three-point basket all game.
"We found a way to piece it together," Self said. "Traylor, Landon, Hunter [Mickelson], everyone did their part late."
Sophomore Brannen Greene was one of the best shooters in the country during the first half of the Big 12 schedule. Greene has only connected on two three-pointers in his previous six games.
The Jayhawks have had to adapt all season. When the three ball wasn't working, Kansas ran their offense through Ellis. Without Ellis on the floor, the Jayhawks needed to find offense elsewhere. Traylor scored more points in last night's game than in his previous six games combined.
Next up, Kansas will travel to Norman, Okla. where they will face the Sooners in the Big 12 regular season finale. The Jayhawks defeated Oklahoma 85-78 earlier this season.
"The only game this was comparable to was the last Missouri game here," Self said. "That's the only game that would rival this one. We haven't had a win with these big of stakes here in a while."

Finance committee approves changes to required fees
VILLIAM SMITH
Garrett Farlow, a senior from Tecemseh, addresses the Student Senate Coalition at the Formation Caucus.
ALANA FLINN
@alana_finn
In midst of the Student Senate finance committee approving its fee review for the year, sophomore Garrett Farrow disputed the zero amount the committee recommended for the Student Safety Advisory Board last night.
Farlow made an argument that the zero amount proposed should be increased to 50 cents, because this money would be put toward student safety.
"Fifty cents is the magic number that will give us a lot of flexibility for projects that would consist of security cameras, or other capital improvement projects," Farlow said. "I don't think you can put a dollar amount on a person's life or their safety."
Fee review applies to the required campus fees all students pay along with tuition.
The original decision to not allocate any money to the Student Safety Advisory Board is because the financial committee did not see a reason for the extra funding. The Safety
Board has a $100,000 reserve, which Senate found sufficient enough to fund the board's endeavors.
However, Farlow argued the funding from Senate has one of the biggest impacts on safety of students on campus.
"It's important for students because the public safety office and administration don't have the ability to give the students everything that they need to be safe here at KU," Farlow said. "The budget cuts are crippling these organizations, and, to have student voices say exactly what they want done is something that sets KU apart."
The original overall fee review amount was $453.70, but after several other amendments made to original allocations, the final fee review amount approved is $455.50.
Changes to the originally proposed fees are: 50 cents added to the original $0 allocation to the Student Safety Advisory Board; 80 cents added to the original $5 allocation to

Israeli journalist Ari Shavit shares his view on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict before his speech Wednesday night. Shavit is also a best-selling author.
Israeli journalist urges youth to challenge both sides of politics
LYNDSEY HAVENS
@LyndseyAlana
There's nothing sexy about politics, war or nuclear power, at least not according to Ari Shavit. Shavit, an Israeli journalist, writer and New York Times best-selling author, has plans to change the way people react to and engage in such topics. Shavit said "Israeli" is important to his title because had he not grown up in Israel, he probably would not have been a journalist.
Shavit has spent the past year on tour visiting various universities and speaking mostly to the millennial generation. Last night, he presented his ideas and perspectives to the University.
"It's so important to have a new kind of dialogue between the younger generation, the millennials, in America and Israel, and I'm doing my best to promote that new kind of dialogue and this is why I'm here, this is why I'm exhausted," he said. "I'm in a different city everyday, I'm in planes all the time, I drink black coffee all the time, and yet I'm full of energy and I'm so happy because meeting people like you is a great privilege and [I almost] have a sense of mission regarding it."
During the presentation, he called Israel "an underdog on steroids" and discussed how his best-selling book, "My Promised Land: The Triumph and Tragedy of Israel," is essentially a "yin and yang between despair and hope."
"I've become a journalist because I feel that Israel, my country, is such a fascinating human endeavor and a kind of unique nation, for better and for worse," Shavit said. "And therefore, to be a journalist in Israel, I feel, is a real privilege because we say that we journalists write the first draft of history, so when you watch, when you give testimony, you are a witness of such huge drama, even on a daily basis. It's fascinating."
Shavit released his book in November 2013. He said it's a book about history, but it's not a history book, and that it's relevant to politics, but it's not a political book. Shavit
added that he wrote the book's content to be relevant on a "human level" and created a non-fiction book that reads like a novel.
The Kansan spoke with Shavit earlier in the day, before his presentation, about current hot topics ranging from the Israeli Prime Minister's recent speech to Congress, to the importance and delicate nature of remaining unbiased in so much controversy.
Could you tell us about your career and what your objective is?
I'm known for two things: one, what you are doing right

On-campus living costs for 2015-16 students are expected to increase by an average of $130.
Housing rates set to increase for coming year
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler Boese
According to KU Student Housing, on-campus living costs will increase by approximately 2.5 percent in the coming 2015-16 academic year.
Between the scholarship halls, residence halls (not including new halls) and Jayhawker Towers, prices will increase by an average of $130. In the coming year, each student will have to pay, on average and not including a meal plan, $5,542 in the Jayhawker Towers, $6,550 in the residence halls and $3,594 in the scholarship halls.
Scholarship hall resident Mallory Paxson, a junior from Neodesha, isn't happy about the increase. She said Housing is just pushing people further away from living on campus.
"Now that apartments are allowing you to pick your roommates by potluck, they're just going to lose more and more people," Paxson said. "Apartments are still college life, but they're cheaper."
In comparison to other universities in and around Kansas, the University is

University sexual assault cases will remain a mystery
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
The University's administration has declined to release records requested this semester by the University Daily Kansan that would give context to sexual assault cases filed at the University.
Since September, when students protested the University's handling of sexual assault, The Kansan has filed multiple Kansas Open Records Act (KORA) requests with the University to release data on sexual assault cases filed at the University through the Office of Institutional Opportunity and
Index
Access (IOA).
In February, the University responded to one of The Kansan's initial records requests from October with a list on the Student Affairs website, which holds 32 sanctions it has given students who violated the University's Sexual Harassment policy from IOA's creation in 2012 to December 2014. Although the University originally said it would charge the Kansan around $600 to produce this information, it did not because it felt releasing the information was a service

to the KU community, according to an email from records custodian Andy Foat.
wnite the list includes information about the policy and what it includes, it doesn't include demographic information about neither the case nor the violators, including the violator's sex, whether the incident happened on or off campus or the sub-violation within the sexual harassment policy. (It lists eight types of harassment that fall under the policy, from unwanted attempts, to unwelcome efforts in starting a relationship, to sexual violence.)
After Student Affairs released that list, Kansan editors submitted another KORA request Feb. 11. This request asked for specific details regarding not only the 32 cases that did find a respondent in violation of University policy, but also the hundreds of cases that are reported to IOA that don't result in sanctions. The Kansan asked for the supporting findings of all of these cases, the specific policy violation within the sexual harassment policy for each case and demographic information respective to the 32 violators.
"While your publication may believe these documents are appropriate for publication, the University does not share that belief. Release of these documents would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and would discourage future victims and witnesses from reporting sexual assault and cooperating with investigations," Potterff
At a sexual assault task force meeting earlier this semester, Executive Director of IOA Jane McQueeny said IOA received 168 sexual assault complaints in 2014, which is more than double the amount it received in 2012.
James Pottorff of the University's general counsel denied The Kansan's request to access these complaints in a reply sent Feb. 16.

The Kansan does not intend to use this information in any way that would re-victimize these students, Kansan Editor-in-Chief Brian Hillix said. The editors at The Kansan hope to create a database that paints a more accurate picture of sexual assault on this campus and gives the community more context about what happens to these reported cases and to investigate whether the cases that result in sanctions are treated fairly by the University. Hillix said The Kansan believes that providing more information to the public is the best way to prevent future assaults.

"The fact is, the way that a person is going to use public records has no bearing on their entitlement to receive the records," said Frank LoMonte, director of the Student Press Law Center in Washington D.C. "You might be requesting
However, The Kansan does not have to legally justify why it requests information. If the information is a public record subject to KORA, the University is legally obligated to produce it.

quest," said Jack Martin, director of strategic communications for the University.
The reasons the University included for not providing this information include a KORA exemption for information regarding "medical, psychiatric, psychological or alcoholism
or drug dependency treatment records which pertain to identifiable patients"
The Kansan did not request medical or treatment records. The response from general counsel said the University also denies to provide "information that would reveal the location of a shelter or a safehouse or similar place where persons are provided protection from abuse or the name, address, location or other contact information of alleged victims of stalking, domestic violence or sexual assault."
The Kansan did not request neither information on safe houses that the University may or may not own or operate nor information about accusers or victims.
For a research project, Emma Halling, former acting student body president and a senior from Elkhart, Ind., filed a public records request for names of offenders, date of the offense, specific violation and sanction from 2010 to present on Feb. 27. Like The Kansan, she also received a denial Tuesday afternoon from the University's general counsel. "It's important that non-identifiable information be made available on these cases so we can understand any trends on sexual assault and therefore adequately address it," Halling said.

There will now be a separate caucus forming, "which will be a homogenous mixture of people who believe in the same values and working towards our goals," Dickerson said.
"This is an opportunity that will allow KU students to be represented in a way they have never been before," Dickerson said. "This is bigger than Student Senate elections. This is progressive thinking, progressiv action and progressive strategy. This will be something that will unite students on all fronts."
Legacy coalition folds
The recently formed Legacy coalition has decided to fold "in order to achieve the inclusive goals set by leaders at KU who are the representative of a diverse student body," according to former Legacy affiliate Madeline Dickerson.
Dickerson encourages anyone who wants to be involved with a coalition to attend the meeting.

hall and using the Crimson Flex dining plan (12 meals a week, $200 Cuisine Cash) is $9,880. K-State is slightly below that, with the average cost of its residence halls and a comparable dining plan being $9,865. Both Wichita State and UMKC are above the University's average costs at $10,753 and $10,471, respectively.
CORRECTION
The University's rates are still too high for some. After a semester of living in the residence halls, Paxson moved into the scholarship halls to save money.
"It seems ridiculous that I'm paying just as much to live as go to school," Paxson said.
The increase was approved by the Kansas Board of Regents in December, said Diana Robertson, the director of KU Student Housing. Housing staff, along with the Student Housing Advisory Board (SHAB), spent the last semester determining the new rates.

"Student Housing is what's called an auxiliary service, so we operate fully on' money we bring in from room rates and rent rates," said Robertson. "So, as a self-funded operation, we have to be able to look ahead, estimate what our operating costs will be and how much the rate needs to be set at."
KU Student Housing splits up its budget into the costs of operating the buildings. making improvements, paying employees and maintaining facilities. When determining the rates and budget for the coming year, housing works to use money as efficiently as possible, which keeps prices low for students.
"We're certainly not a for-profit. We're simply trying to cover expenses," Robertson said. "We want to bring that right to the wire, but we certainly can't come up short either."
A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE SINCE 1880
Because utilities have become one of the biggest forces driving up the rates. Robertson said energy conservation can make a difference in the budget.
Marks Jewelers
"[There's] lots of electricity, lots of gas, lots of water in these buildings, so [utilities] tend to be most volatile. They can have a six to eight percent increase, next year, for instance," Robertson said. "One of the things I would love to see our student government groups do more of is advocating for conservations of utilities."

Nerd Nite Lawrence to gather at new location
TRAVIS DIESING
@travis_diesing
"Be there and be square." That's the motto for Nerd Nite Lawrence, which will be held in a new location starting Wednesday, March 11 at 7:30 p.m.
The monthly social gathering that features three 20-minute lectures is moving to Maceli's on 10th and New Hampshire streets. This month's theme, "Smarty Party!" will focus on aspects of partying.
Presentations will cover noise-induced hearing loss with PhD student Aryn Kamerer, the history of St. Patrick's Day from Irishman Stephen Hassard and the art of brewing craft beer from Free State Brewery's Geoff Deman. Attendees pay $1 for entry and must be 21 years of age.
The move to Maceli's was prompted by the closing of Pachamamas, which hosted the Lawrence Nerd Nite since its founding in 2011. The new location will provide more space for the event's growing audiences.
Nerd Nite audiences have
hit Pachamamas' capacity of 150 people twice in the past, forcing people to be turned away. Graduate student and Nerd Nite co-boss Emily Fekete said about 40 people went to the first Nerd Nite compared to an average of 130 per month it sees now.
"... we're going to have food now. We're going to do like a little snack menu, so that'll be fun — and, you know, obviously drinks."
"We kind of toyed around with the idea of maybe having like a Nerd Nite salon, like in the style of like an old-school French 1700s salon where you could like mingle around and talk to people about nerdy things," Fekete said. "But I don't know if that will pan out or not. It was kind of an idea."
EMILY FEKETE
Nerd Nite co-boss
"We shouldn't ever have to turn anyone away, and we're going to have food now." Fekete said. "We're going to do like a little snack menu. So that'll be fun — and, you know, obviously drinks."
Travis Weller, one of the original founders of Nerd Nite Lawrence, said he hopes to see Nerd Nite continue to bring people together.
However, every once in a while, the Nerds try something different. Once per summer, they host Nerd Nite Shorts, a variation on the presentation model. Instead of three 20-minute presentations, they have 10 to 15 two-minute presentations.
Fekete said she and the board are also thinking of new possible formats for Nerd Nite at Maceli's.
The Nerd Nite format is generally consistent everywhere; Nerds can travel to other Nerd Nites in more than 80 cities around the world, pop in and feel right at home.
"My goal is for Nerd Nite to be a place where if you don't
know anybody, you can come and sit down at a group table with somebody, and the presentations give you something to chat about," Weller said.

Protestors rally in downtown Los Angeles against a police shooting of a homeless man Tuesday.
Homeless man dies a victim of three government mishaps
DAVID A. LIEB Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Mistakes and miscommunication by three governments on three continents over nearly 20 years led to a homeless man known as "Africa" being on Los Angeles' Skid Row, where he was shot by police after authorities say he became combative and appeared to reach for an officer's weapon.
The problems began in the late 1990s when French officials gave him a passport under what turned out to be a stolen name. He came to the U.S., robbed a bank and then was convicted and imprisoned under the same false name.
er anyone actually looked for him. He apparently was living the entire time on Skid Row, roughly 50 square blocks of liquor stores, warehouses, charitable missions and a few modest businesses. Los Angeles police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said the man had no previous arrests in Los Angeles.
U. S. immigration officials wanted to send him back to his native Cameroon, but that country never responded to requests to take him. So he was released from a halfway house last May, and U.S. probation officials lost track of him in November.
Authorities said the man tried to grab a rookie Los Angeles police officer's gun, prompting three other officers to shoot. Chief Charlie Beck said the officers had arrived to investigate a robbery report and the man refused to obey their commands and became combative.
It took three failed monthly check-ins for a warrant to be issued on a probation violation and it's unclear wheth-
The true name of the man, who was long known to authorities as Charley Saturin Robinet, remained a mystery Wednesday, three days after a violent death that was captured on a bystander's video and watched by millions.
Axei Cruau, France's consul general in Los Angeles, said the system for checking backgrounds was vastly different when the man duped French officials.
Using the false name, the man was believed to be a French citizen in 2000 when convicted of robbing a Wells Fargo branch in Los Angeles and pistol-whipping an employee in what he told authorities was an effort to pay for acting classes at the Beverly Hills Playhouse.
In 2013, as he was nearing his release from a federal prison in Rochester, Minn., French officials found the real Robinet in France, Cruau said. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement then determined the impostor actually was from Cameroon but said the African country ignored repeated requests for travel documents, hampering efforts to deport him.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2001 that immigration authorities cannot detain people indefinitely just because no country will take them. Justice Stephen Breyer wrote that the government would need a special reason to keep someone in custody after six months if deportation seemed unlikely in "the reasonably foreseeable fu-

Spring break drinking can be dangerous
Maddy Mikinski

@Miss Maddy
KATIE DAVIES/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Getting the party started: Students have already started hitting the clubs of Cancun, pictured March 1, marking an earlier spring break than usual. The University's spring break is the week of March 15.
Spring break, as depicted in the movies, is a time of excess and alcohol poisoning. Spring break in real life is a slightly lesser version of the same thing. Just go to YouTube and look up "spring break" and you'll wish some of the things you watched were fictional.
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), during spring break, about 42 percent of college students get drunk at least one day. Eleven percent of those students drink to the point of blacking or passing out. Clearly, there's an issue here.
This issue stems from the fact that students don't know how to regulate themselves while drinking. Instead of taking precautionary measures, such as eating and drinking water before going out, most spring breakers ignore any tips that might preserve their health. After all, going into an alcohol-induced coma is not one of the top 10 ways to keep your body functioning for a long
Before leaving for vacation, or even a party, students who know they're going to be drinking heavily should begin to take precautions and plan ahead. They should drink plenty of water and eat something so their body is prepared for whatever spring break might throw at it.
The difference between passing out and death is only a few points on the BAC scale. Comas can start
anywhere from .35 to .5 BAC. From there it's only a hop, skip and an ambulance ride to the morgue. The chances of death and alcohol poisoning are almost certain over .5.
Reaching that step can be prevented through self-education. The half of college students who consume alcohol through binge drinking, according to the NIAAA, should take steps to understanding their
personal tolerance, as well as the tolerance of the people they are traveling with. They should also be aware of what they're drinking, as well as monitoring their food and water intake.
During vacation, students should pace their alcohol consumption by making sure they space out drinks with bottles of water. They should also keep track of the amount of alcohol they've consumed over the course of the day.
I'm not suggesting that spring breakers pack breathalyzers in their suitcases or just stay at home and read Amish romance novels (because that would be ridiculous), but I am suggesting that students learn to regulate themselves while they're on vacation, and in everyday life.

The Academy Awards crowned "Citizenfour"
its Best Documentary Feature of 2015. It awarded director Laura Poitras and producers Mathilde Bonnefoy and Dirk Wulzky an Oscar for their reporting on Edward Snowden and his leak of private U.S. documents.
It does matter. Even as young, budding millennials who grew up with the Internet, smartphones and social media, privacy still matters. Glenn Greenwald argued in his TED Talk, "Why Privacy Matters," that it doesn't matter if people are watching us; the fact is that they can. At any given point, if we set off a "trigger," the National Security Agency can search all we have done in the past and tag all of our future activities.
After watching the two hour film, I questioned how much I value my own privacy and the metadata being collected on all of us. Does it matter? If I am not doing anything wrong, what difference does it make that the government collects information about me?
Think about your credit or debit card, your email accounts and social media. What we buy, the people we spend time with, when we do things and where we go can all be discovered with simple searches.
Greenwald mentioned how Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, made disarming comments about privacy, then proceeded to buy four houses surrounding his own home. Greenwald further stated people who aren't committing nefarious activities and have nothing to be ashamed of should still protect their privacy. Who would openly give out all their passwords, revealing their private emails, photos, purchases and messages? No one.
I doubt the typical student has much to hide. Sure, we have watched videos, searched images or bought things wed rather not have publicized, but this does not make us bad people.
I respect privacy and would rather not air all my dirty laundry. As for our government spying on its own people, "Citizen four" should alarm us. The documentary will haunt you more than any of the "Paranormal Activity" movies or any "Exorcist" film.
Even if you aren't doing anything wrong, the government's access to your private life should still alarm you. Most of us are "good people," taxpayers and friendly citizens who do not wish harm on others. But that does not mean we should be cavalier about violations of privacy.
Maybe our own government won't turn on us, but a breach could occur in which data is sold to China, Russia or resident dissidents. The fact the metadata is being recorded in the first place should scare us.

DO YOU BELIEVE STUDENTS SHOULD REGULATE THEIR DRINKING MORE DURING SPRING BREAK?
MOLLY PATT HORAN, JOURNALISM, WOODBURY, MINN.

"I think so because I think that students go to spring break and they're like, 'Oh let's go drink a lot because it's spring break,' but it's really no different than, like, being at school, so they should still monitor it."
SHEKHINAH JONES, ENGLISH, SALINA
---
"Yeah, I completely agree with that because there are a lot of incidents that have happened, like murders and rapes and all that. So I feel like, especially during spring break, that people should be really careful of how much they drink and just be aware of their surroundings, but have fun."
LAUREN PATELLI, ENGLISH, BASEHOP
"I think that it's up to people, personally. It's their own personal decision, but [they] need to be responsible when they do it. They're responsible for what happens when they drink, but it should be self-regulated."

KU Hillel brings popular watch party back to Bottleneck
LILY GRANT
@lilygrant_UDK
Bring an appetite for breakfast food and basketball to The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., on Saturday. KU Hillel will host its annual event Bagels and Basketball, a massive watch party, for the game against Oklahoma, once again this year.
For several years, KU Hillel has hosted the popular event, and it expects hundreds of people to turn out this year. It will begin 30 minutes before tip-off. The game begins at 3 p.m. Einstein Bros Bagels will donate bagels, and an assortment of other snack food will be provided.
All KU students are welcome to attend. Alumni and students 21+ are invited to a happy hour before the event. The price of admission for students will be $3 in advance and $5 at the door. Non-students will be charged $6.
KU Hillel hopes to bring the community together with this event.
Shiri Kboudi, a sophomore from San Antonio, Texas, is an intern for KU Hillel, and is helping put on the event.
"It started out as a fun time to get together, and it became bigger and bigger each year,"
Kboudi said. "We're having a bar band show up at halftime to perform, and we're doing a big raffle for a basketball that's been signed by all the basketball team's players."
Melissa Kingston is the program director of KU Hillel, and is also helping organize Bagels and Basketball.
Ineres so much spirit. It's a great way to celebrate the Jayhawks and cheer on our team together," Kingston said.
KRNSAS NJ
Kingston said attendees of the event can expect "lots of cheering, and hopefully a win."

SHAVIT FROM PAGE 1A
Israeli journalist Ari Shavit shares his view on the Israeli Palestinian conflict before his speech Wednesday night.
now, which is in-depth interviews, and the other is having a rather strong voice as a columnist. My strong voice is usually because I challenge dogmas of both right and left. I come from the left, I am a progressive Israeli, but I challenge the dogmas of the progressive people, both in this country and in Israel as well. So ... I don't belong to any herd. I'm an independent voice, so that gave me a unique place in Israeli public arena, and yet I feel that this is not enough.
You started as a philosophy major, you spoke a little bit about how you got into journalism. But why the change?
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
Well, I didn't decide. Life made the decision for me. I remembered that ever since the age of five or six, I always wrote. So I said, 'Let's try writing in a paper'. It's not that I was a journalist — I was a writing person, always. I always processed life through words, thinking, feeling, diary writing, poetry writing, whatever. So then came what I told you before, because I said "Wow, do I want this?" because I didn't plan it. And then I realized what I told you... in Israel, it's such a privilege to be a journalist. When there is such high drama, being a journalist is great. I began enjoying the fact that I can be a player
not only in politics, but in maintaining the democratic system without wearing a suit and tie.
Why exactly do you think it's so crucial to talk to the millennials and to our generation?
I think there is a deep and very important alliance between America and Israel, and the alliance has strategic elements that are a bit boring. They're important, but boring. I think it's real because Israel is the only rock-solid ally America has in the Middle East. In the Middle East, everything is fragile and vulnerable, and we are the only country that is the real, deep, totally loyal ally. But it's much deeper than that, much more interesting, because the alliance is really built on the fact that we have shared values, that you are a great democracy and, as I like to tell people sometimes, I have to remind Americans how great American democracy is, and we are frontier democracy. My concern is that many of the younger people have lost the understanding of this special relationship, for good reasons. I think that for many young Americans, because there has been so much unpleasant news coming from the Middle East, many people lost that understanding, that feeling, and I blame no one. This is the way it is. So I see it as my role to try and bring back that notion, but also to make it relevant for the day. On the one hand I'm a very patriotic Israeli and I love my country, but I'm also very critical of my country, and I'm into
open discussion. And I think that some young people were not allowed to have an open discussion about Israel. So, people split into those who thought that Israel can do no wrong and those who thought that Israel could do no right. And I come and say, 'Let's talk about it.' I'm not afraid of debates, I'm not afraid of questions. I'm such a great believer in Israel, I'm a great believer in America, I'm a great believer in a relationship with America and Israel, but it's all for discussion. So I am here to have sincere discussion that is not with cliches but regarding the real issues.
So regarding that, relating to the U.S. and Israel relationship, how do you think the relationship is right now? Is it in jeopardy?
You can describe my Jewish sigh. Fundamentally, it's still very strong. I think there is a kind of slow erosion, which I think is very dangerous, especially with younger people and especially with progressive America and younger America. On the one hand, I say to my own people in Israel that Israel has to prove how just it is, how moral it is and how democratic it is. I'm sure of all of the above, but I can see why some people have questions. Because when they look at settlement activity, when they look at the wars, they have questions and are confused, and I think we have to do much more as Israelis to prove how moral we are, how much we pursue peace, even if peace is not there. But we have to try and to prove to people like you that we are relevant to you, and that we have your values. We have, again, I think it's there, but we have to do much more work. And for too long, more conservative forces that took over the political system have not projected that, and that is why I come to bring a kind of alternative Israeli voice. On the other hand, I ask many people in the progressive world, in academic life, who I think, because of political correctness, are not addressing sometimes the difficulties of life in the Middle East. Sometimes people blame Israel so much, and sometimes, these people blame America as well, because it's easy to criticize a Western power. And these people have a difficulty addressing the terrible, dark, fanatic forces that we have in the Middle East... So many people here, again on the left, so to speak, have a difficulty addressing this evil, and then they don't understand why Israel does what it does — I don't justify everything that Israel does. Some things I do justify, some things I criticize. But people have to understand the context. The context is, fundamentally, Israel is an amazing democracy fighting for its life in a very, very rough neighborhood—a very rough neighborhood that has some barbaric forces within it. So we have to do the utmost to try peace. People here have to understand the tragic circumstances with which we have to
deal. within which we live.
After hearing you speak a little bit, I'm just curious how do you maintain such an unbiased perspective on everything? Do you ever find that it's difficult, or that you want to sway towards one side?
Look, it's nature. It's human nature. I'm almost tempted — you are a good interviewer because I am tempted to give you a very personal answer that I never gave to anyone. If there is something that I always resented, it is mob mentality, herds. I hate it when people are running in a herd in one direction. One of my relatives that I loved very much was one of Israel's chief justices. He was one of the important chief justices in Israel, and he was an American. He was the smart, wise, old man. He was an Israeli, but very American. I was seven years old, but he liked me very much, and I admired him and I understood from him... He became a judge, he believed so much in the rule of law, because he was terrified of these processes where an American little town would go through the process of lynching. Now, many times when there was lynching, the guy was a bad guy, but this is not what you should do. You should have a process – you should think, you should use your brain, your heart, too So, I think that I got something from my family, something in my very base that rejects one-sided, narrow-minded, conformist thinking, whether on the left or on the right. Sometimes, I think it's more difficult. To attack the people on the other side, the other political tribe, is easy. You know, it's easy for Democrats to criticize Republicans or Republicans to criticize Democrats, but to go against your own political family is much more difficult. This is the story of my life because, for years in Israel, I'd been wrestling with this need to be decent, even when it contradicts your friends and your peers, and you know it sometimes doesn't make you very popular. I think it's so important in order to become a great journalist, [to have] this kind of discipline that you look at things fresh everyday. You're not indoctrinated by anyone. You don't accept censorship.
and you don't accept indoctrination and you look at things. I don't understand why people have to think in a group mentality. And then, what's even more important, to have the courage to stand up and to stand by whether you are right or wrong - but this is your truth now, fight for it. Don't let the peer pressure and the fraternity pressure or the sorority pressure make you betray yourself. There is nothing worse than betraying oneself. So for me, and again, I'm not saying I'm always right, but I make all my mistakes myself and with all my heart... So, I think keeping that integrity, again, in a very basic way, is crucial.
How would you think the media impacts the war?
The media today is so effective, so quick, but it doesn't have the ability to give you context. So, it gives you just the immediate pictures - it doesn't give you what's around the picture. So, it doesn't matter, it doesn't tell you who created the situation that brings about the death of children. It doesn't tell you that Hamas actually fired rockets at Israel first. So, I don't justify every Israeli move, I'm so sorry. First of all, I'm so saddened by what happened in the summer, and the terrible killing in Gaza, but it was definitely Israel reacting to a totally unprovoked attack by the extremist totalitarian organization. And, somehow, the media is attracted to the extreme picture, and they don't give the context when Israel really does bad things.
What did you think of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress earlier this week?
Did Netanyahu give a speech to Congress? I ask people to listen to the content of what Mr. Netanyahu has to say, because I personally am deeply worried about Iran, and I think it will be a good idea if people would listen. I would ask people in Washington, in power, to listen to the people of the Middle East. When we are so concerned about this, we probably know why we are. We know the region we live in, and don't dismiss us. Don't overlook our concerns. On the other hand, I think that Mr. Netanyahu is making one great mistake: I think that, while his basic analysis of the danger of Iran and the risks of a bad deal is correct, the mistake he made, and he made it in Congress as well, was to make it an Israel issue. I think that too many people perceive now the threat of nuclear Iran is something that Israel is concerned about, that Mr. Netanyahu is personally concerned about. If Iran will go nuclear, it will endanger all of us: Americans, Israelis, Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, Conservatives, older, younger. This is an issue that I know that young people mostly are not, for good reasons, are not into – it's not a sexy issue. It's virtual and strange and seems remote... I ask Americans, Europeans, Israelis, Arabs, to rise to the challenge. It's time to open our eyes. This is a very great danger. It's true that it's sometimes not pleasant to talk about danger and threats, it's much nicer to talk about parties and good life, but, if Iran will go nuclear, that will endanger our parties in this country as well. So let's wake up before it's too late.
In terms of your presentation this evening, what do you want the biggest takeaway to be?
the one thing I ask people to do is wrestle with complexity. I think that Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Middle East are very complicated, and anyone who is offering a simple, simplistic idea about it is wrong. The result of the conversation that I try to initiate [is that] people will go out thinking in a fresh way, not telling the thematic thinking on right or left or anti or pro, but wrestle with the complexity. I think, hopefully, we will have a discussion that is more intelligent, more civilized and deeper. And, perhaps, we will even discover that we can agree on much more than we think. Israel is a manmade wonder. It is the home of the homeless people. It's a country that maintains democracy while fighting for its life, and therefore, while it should be criticized when it does wrong things, people should appreciate the astonishing, inspiring human endeavor Israel is. So, I'd like people to have an eye and heart to see that, beyond the politics.

Artist: Clinton museum portrait has nod to Lewinsky's dress
MARYCLAIRE DALE Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia artist has disclosed that his museum portrait of former President Bill Clinton contains a shadow reference to Monica Lewinsky's infamous blue dress.
Nelson Shanks told the Philadelphia Daily News that a shadow beside Clinton is a literal reference to the dress and a symbolic nod to the shadow the affair cast on his presidency.
"If you look at the left-hand side of it there's a mantle in the Oval Office and I put a shadow coming into the painting." Shanks told the newspaper.
"The Clinton hate the portrait," he said. "They want it removed from the National Portrait Gallery. They're putting a lot of pressure on them."
The National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., commissioned the 2006 painting and had it on display until about three years ago. It's one of 55 images of Clinton that rotate on and off display, spokeswoman Betany Bentley said.
She said she is unaware of any pressure from the Clintons to have it removed from the collection. Nor had she heard the artist previously comment
on his use of imagery.
"That's the first time we've heard of those comments," Bentley said.
A Clinton spokesman did not immediately return an email message seeking comment.
The stained dress became a piece of evidence in Ken Starr's special investigation of the 42nd president.
Shanks, 77, has painted Princess Diana, Pope John Paul II and other luminaries. He has two pieces currently on display at the portrait gallery, one of opera singer Denyce Graves and the other of the four female Supreme Court justices.

John Boorman catches up with alter ego in
QUEEN AND COUNTRY/BBC WORLDWIDE
SUSAN KING
Love during wartime: Caleb Landry Jones and Tamsin Egerton
Tribune News Service
John Boorman has made a lot of tough-nosed, violent and demanding films, including the 1967 film noir "Point Blank" with Lee Marvin, the Oscar-nominated 1972 thriller "Deliverance," starring Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight, and "Excalibur," the visceral 1981 dramatic fantasy based on King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
But the 82-year-old British filmmaker showed his softer side in "Hope and Glory", the charming Oscar-nominated 1987 comedy-drama based on his own experiences growing up during the World War II Blitz. "Hope and Glory" ended with his 9-year-old alter ego, Bill, rejoicing that his school had been destroyed by a wayward German bomb.
Boorman always had in mind to do a sequel. But it took him nearly 27 years to make "Queen & Country." The comedy-drama follows the adventures of the now-18-year-old Bill (Callum Turner) as he begins his two-year conscription in the army during the Korean War.
One reason Boorman waited so long was because there was an issue with his attorneys, who thought that because the characters in the film were based on real people, "they might be offended and might want to sue us," Boorman said over the phone from New York.
"I'm talking about the older characters. But by this time, they are probably all dead now or too old to go to the trouble of suing."
The England Boorman depicts in "Queen & Country" is far different from the Great Britain at the outset of "Hope and Glory."
"The older soldiers who had been through the war were still hanging on to the idea of empire and imperial Britain," said Boorman. "For the younger ones, it was clear to us everything was going to change. The British Empire was the biggest empire the world had ever known, and within a few years that was all gone."
it was a massive change for the country _ and a good one, as far as Boorman was concerned. "England became a much better country. The class system, which you see in the film, was much weakened, and in a few years time, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were around."
Like Bill in the film, Boorman was very much an observer at 18. He was a movie buff _ his family lived near Shepperton Studios _ and he noted, "I felt very much at the time if you made movies, you could make things come out much better than they do in life."
Boorman has said that "Queen & Country" is his swan song, but he's beginning to change his mind. "I am tempted to do another one."
"Queen & Country" producer Kieran Corrigan, who runs the Irish production company Merlin Films with Boorman, described the filmmaker as tremendously focused.
"When he really decides to do something, he puts a phenomenal amount of effort into it and thought and consideration," he said. "When he's making a movie, it's like a full, absolute commitment. He garners tremendous loyalty. When you work with John,you are always a friend."
Boorman, who lives in County Wicklow, Ireland, has had a lot of friends during his long career.
After making documentaries and drama films for the BBC, Boorman started to get offers to do feature movies.
Enter producer David Deutsch, said Boorman, who "was always encouraging me to do a film."
"Eventually, he came to me and said, 'If you do a film with the Dave Clark Five, you can have carte blanche and do whatever you like."
The result, the 1965 musical romance "Having a Wild Weekend" known as "Catch Us If You Can" in England starring the red hot British pop group, impressed critics, including the New Yorker's powerful Pauline Kael.
"She praised it much more than it deserved, and as result of that I started getting offers from Hollywood," noted Boorman.
Boorman was sent the script to "Point Blank" at the same time as Oscar-winning actor Marvin, who was in London to make "The Dirty Dozen."
"We met and Lee said to me, 'What do you think of the script?' I said, 'I think it's really feeble.' He said, 'Well. I agree with you, so what are we talking about?' I said the character is interesting. We met a number of times, and I sort of wove this story together. Eventually, Lee said, 'I will do this flick with you on one condition.' He picked the script up and he threw it out the window."

Fossil sheds light on turning point in human
MALCOM RITTER Associated Press
NEW YORK - A fragment of jawbone found in Ethiopia is the oldest known fossil from an evolutionary tree branch that eventually led to modern humans, scientist reported Wednesday.
The fossil comes from very close to the time that our branch split away from more ape-like ancestors best known for the fossil skeleton Lucy. So it gives a rare glimpse of what very early members of our branch looked like.
At about 2.8 million years old, the partial jawbone pushes back the fossil record by at least 400,000 years for our branch, which scientists call Homo.
It was found two years ago at a site not far from where Lucy was unearthed. Africa is a hotbed for human ancestor fossils, and scientists from Arizona State University have worked for years at the site in northeast Ethiopia, trying to find fossils from the dimly understood period when the Homo genus, or group, arose.
Our species, called Homo sapiens, is the only surviving member of this group.
The jaw fragment, which includes five teeth, was discovered in pieces one morning by Chalachew Seyoum, an Ethiopian graduate student at Arizona State. He said he spotted a tooth poking out of the ground while looking for fossils.
The discovery is described in a paper released Wednesday by the journal Science.
Arizona State's William Kimbel, an author of the pape, said it's not clear whether the fossil came from a known early species of Homo or whether it reveals a new one. Field work is continuing to look for more fossils at the site, said another author, Brian Villmoare of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
The fossil is from the left lower jaw of an adult. It combines ancestral features, like a primitive chin shape, with some traits found in later Homo fossils, like teeth that are slimmer than the bulbous molars of Lucy's ilk.
Despite that mix, experts not involved in the paper said the researchers make a convincing case that the fossil belongs in the Homo category.
"This is a news pullquote, it can be from 2 to 6 lines. This is a pullquote, it can be from 2 to 6 lines."
The find also bolsters the argument that Homo arose from Lucy's species rather than a related one, said Susan Anton of New York University.
It's the first time that anything other than isolated teeth have turned up as a possible trace of Homo from before 2.3 million years ago, he said.
Also on Wednesday, another research team reported in a paper released by the journal Nature that the lower part of the face of Homo habilis, the earliest known member of the Homo branch, was surprisingly primitive. That came from reconstruction of a broken jaw that was found 50 years ago.
And they present good evidence that it came from a creature that was either at the origin of Homo or "within shouting distance," said Bernard Wood of George Washington University.
"This fills a gap, but it hasn't yet given us a complete skeleton. It's not Lucy." Delson said. "This is always the problem. We always want more."
The new paper's analysis is first-rate, but the fossil could reveal only a limited amount of information about the creature, said Eric Delson of Lehman College in New York.
SOMEBODY SOMEONE this is a job
species.
Analysis indicates the jaw fossil came from one of the earliest populations of Homo, and its age helps narrow the range of possibilities for when the first Homo species appeared, Kimbel said. The fossil dates to as little as 200,000 years after the last known fossil from Lucy's
The finding means the evolutionaryary step from the Ethiopian jaw to the jaw of Homo habilis is "not so large," said an author of the Nature study, Fred Spoor of University College London and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.
"There's no head, there's no tools, and no limb bones. So we don't know if it was walking any differently from Australopithecus afarensis", which was Lucy's species, he said.

BASKETBALL Kansas travels to Oklahoma for last regular season game | PAGE 7B
COMMENTARY
That's how coach Bill Self referred to the three-pointers that Kansas easily made earlier in the season.
During the regular season, Kansas has shot over 40 percent in 13 games and over 50 percent in eight games.
Since then, Kansas hasn't managed to buy a bucket from downtown. In the past three games (at Kansas State, versus Texas and versus West Virginia) Kansas has made 3-of-36, or 8 percent, of its long balls.
Before the loss at Kansas State, Kansas made at least 20 percent from deep, averaging nearly 40 percent a game.
Brannen Greene, one of Kansas's premier three-point shooters, has trended down as of late. He's missed all 11 three-point attempts since playing at Kansas State.
'Fool's gold' only lasts so long beyond the arc
What happened?
"You can't bank on making 55 percent or 50 percent of your threes," Self said after Kansas defeated Texas Tech on the road.
In the conference slate before playing at Kansas State, Greene was shooting 55 percent (22-off-40) from outside the arc.
Fool's gold.
He's not the only one.
Amie Just
@Amie Just
In the words of Greene from earlier in the season, "the popcorn's poppin." And the layhawks have a large range (0 percent to 59 percent) of how the three ball can fall.
Kansas' once hot three- point shooters have gone cold in the time of the year where you live by the three or die by the three.
Hes not the only one. Wayne Selden Jr, another guard who knows his way around the arc, has missed nine three-point attempts since playing in Wildcat territory.
Freshman phenom Kelly Oubre Jr. is trending in the same manner. Since playing at Bramlage, Oobre has made 1-of-6 threes.
No. 41 isn't so bad when there are 351 teams playing Division I basketball.
Frank Mason, who is often referred to as a fierce pitbull, is also following suit. He is 1-of-5 from three since the Sunflower Showdown.
If Kansas continues to fall flat from deep, the latter might be how things pan out.
In the same time span as the three other Jayhawks aforementioned, Mason was shooting 37 percent (15-of-41) from three-point range.
In the same span as Greene, Selden was shooting 49 percent (27-of-55) from outside the arc.
With one game left in the regular season, Kansas is shooting 38 percent from three, which is tied for No.41 in the country.
During conference play before that, Oubre connected 35 percent (16-of-46) of the time.

For a team many considered having an offense-first mindset, the Jayhawks (5-8) didn't look it on Wednesday, as they flipped four double plays en route to a 9-5 victory against Grand Canyon University (10-4).
The victory tied the midweek series after the Jayhawks lost 4-12 to the Lopes on Tuesday.
Runs came early and often for the Jayhawks on Wednesday, as demonstrated by sophomore catcher Michael Tinsley's two-run home run following a walk from junior Colby Wright in the first inning.
The second inning saw the Jayhawks get into their groove. Starting right away with line drive from senior Connor McKay, the Jayhawks tallied three more runs. Defensively, Kansas buckled down and escaped a bases-loaded jam with minimal damage, only allowing one run to score.
The third inning saw yet another ball fly over the fence for senior Blair Beck, his fourth home run on the season. It also saw the Jayhawks expand their lead, 6-1, and the first of Kansas' double plays.
In the fourth inning, with two outs, senior Dakota Smith stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded. Smith proceeded to hit a double that sent all of three of his fellow Jayhawks home.
able to capitalize on this, adding three runs to their total, inching closer to the lavhawks.
The score would remain the same all the way until the bottom of the ninth inning,
when Grand Canyon tallied on one more run, in a failed last inning rally.
Overall, the midweek series showcased the Jayhawks' ability to bounce back quickly from a loss.
The bottom of the inning, though, saw a defensive effort plagued by walks and errors. The Lopes of Grand Canyon were
which will come in handy throughout the rest of the season, especially in conference play.
The layhawks will be back in action in their home opener this weekend
against the Utah Utes. The teams met once this season, with Kansas coming out on top 6-3. First pitch is at 3 p.m. Friday.

DEREK SKILLETT
For the fourth weekend this season, the No. 25 Jayhawks will head down to the Sunshine State to participate in the Stetson Tournament in Deland, Fla. Kansas is scheduled to face off against La Salle, Chattanooga and Stetson. This will be the last weekend before Kansas starts playing at the new Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park in Lawrence.
LA SALLE
Barring another weather-related schedule realignment, the Jayhawks will open the tournament against the La Salle Explorers on Friday at 10 a.m. (CT). Kansas will be the first team La Salle will play this season.
In 2014, the Explorers finished with an 18-24 overall record. They will be led by sophomore infielder Christina Bascara, who led the Explorers last season with a .331 batting average, recording 39 hits, scoring 21 runs and hitting 14 RBIs. Senior pitcher Alicia Augton ranked fourth on the team in 2014 with a .297 batting average and was second on the team with 25 RBIs.
Augton will lead the Explorers' pitching staff. In 2014, Augton recorded a
2.89 ERA, allowing 121 hits,
74 runs and struck out 88
batters. Besides Aughton,
the only returning pitcher
for the Explorers is sophomore
Val Buehler, who recorded a 7.82 ERA, allowing
31 hits, 24 runs and only
striking out six batters.
CHATTANOOGA
The Jayhawks will face off against the Chattanooga Mocs on Friday at 12:30 p.m. (CT) and Saturday at 10 a.m. (CT).The Mochs will carry an 11-4 record into the weekend and will have the advantage of having an extended period of rest, as their last weekend of scheduled games were cancelled.
Statistically, the Mocs are led by junior outfielder Sam Taylor, who sports a .440
The Mocs' pitching staff is led by senior Taylor Deason, who has a 1.54 ERA and has struck out 57 batters, while also allowing 41 hits and
batting average and leads the team with 22 hits, 15 runs scored and eight doubles. Senior Nicole Osterman ranks fourth on the team with a .341 batting average, but leads the team with 18RBIs on 14 hits.
22 runs scored. Freshman Cori Jennings ranks second on the pitching staff, with a 2.94 ERA and has struck out 25 batters while allowing 36 hits and 25 runs scored.

Statistically, junior Jessica Griffin, who has a .500 batting average, leads the Hatters with 19 hits, 24 RBIs and seven home runs. Senior Courtney Brandt ranks third on the team with a .439 batting average and has recorded 18 hits and 19 RBIs.
The Jayhawks will face off against the Stetson Hatters on Saturday at 3 p.m. (CT). The Hatters currently have an 11-3 record, with the majority of those wins coming against teams like Morgan State, Akron and Sacred Heart, among others.
Brandt, who has a 1.17 ERA, has allowed 29 hits, six runs and has struck out 24 batters, leads the Hatters' pitching staff. Freshman Chelsea Hostetler ranks second on the pitching staff with a 3.73 ERA and has allowed 47 hits, 25 runs, eight home runs and has struck out 27 batters.
The Jayhawks will also play a game Sunday, but the opponent will depend on the results of Friday and Saturday's games.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Which Kansas forward will step up in Perry Ellis' absence?
Dylan Sherwood
@dmantheman2011
IAMARI TRAYLOR
Junior forward Perry Ellis, who is out for Saturday's game against Oklahoma, suffered a knee injury Tuesday against West Virginia, which means another Kansas forward must step up in his place.
In Tuesday night's game against West Virginia, junior forward Jamari Traylor had his best game of the season.
Traylor had a seasonhigh 14 points and nine rebounds in 30 minutes of play, including a huge dunk that gave Traylor an and-one opportunity, which gave Kansas momentum in overtime.
This is not the first time Traylor has filled in for an injured player. Traylor helped fill in for former Kansas post Joel Embiid in the second round of the NCAA tournament last season against Eastern Kentucky. Traylor posted career highs in scoring and r.bounds, recording a double-double of 17 points
and 14 rebounds.
and 14 rebounds.
If Traylor can put up numbers with the injury to Ellis, it's Traylor's time to shine. There is currently no depth at the post position, with freshman forward Cliff Alexander still out due to eligibility issues. Traylor has been known to foul too much in games. Traylor
that game
Traylor has started 17 games in his career at Kansas, with 16 coming this season. But Traylord's best games are usually when he is the first person off the bench. Traylon was replaced in the starting lineup several games ago, but has worked his way back into a starting
"TRAYLOR HAS STARTED 17 GAMES IN HIS CAREER AT KANSAS, WITH 16 COMING THIS SEASON. BUT TRAYLOR'S BEST GAMES ARE USUALLY WHEN HE IS THE FIRST PERSON OFF THE BENCH."
is in the same situation as former Kansas player and current Los Angeles Laker Tarik Black, who would get into foul trouble early in the game and have to sit on the bench the rest of the half.
Should Ellis be out longer than Saturday's game against Oklahoma, Kansas could use Traylor — as long as he stays out of foul trouble and plays aggressively, as he did against West Virginia. Kansas fans really like what they saw from Traylor in
role after Alexander was benched due to eligibility.
Even sitting out a year due to NCAA eligibility issues. Traylor's game has improved but still needs work. Traylor currently averages 4.7 points and 3.8 rebounds per game and is second on the team in blocks with 31. Traylor has had an up-and-down junior season,but when it counts, you could see him spark at any time.

A SOLID ROTATION
A after locking up the Big 12 regular season championship
championship outright Tuesday, Kansas' next challenge will be to finish the season on a high note down in Norman, Okla., on Saturday. The Jayhawks will likely be facing the Sooners without its two best big men: junior forward Perry Ellis and freshman forward Cliff Alexander.
Alexander is still being held out by the Kansas coaching staff while the NCAA investigates a possible eligibility issue, while Ellis
March 11, which Ellis should be back for. As for Alexander, there is no telling when the freshman from Chicago will be back — if at all this season.
If Ellis' knee sprain keeps him out longer than a week, coach Bill Self will have to plan accordingly. Without Ellis and Alexander, that leaves the Kansas coaching staff with junior forwards Jamari Traylor and Hunter Mickelson and sophomore forward Landen Lucas to fill the gap.
After Ellis went down in the first half Tuesday night, Traylor played 30 minutes, Lucas saw 26 and Mickelson was in for a season-high 13. At one point, Self played a smaller lineup with four guards and one true forward,

Following the Jayhawks game in Oklahoma, they have the conference tournament in Kansas City, Mo., beginning

in a strict rotation of Traylor, Lucas and Mickelson, as well as playing a four-guard lineup in some situations.
If Kansas wants to have success with its two best big men out, it will have to work
Against West Virginia each of the three remaining forwards exhibited their ability to deliver for this basketball team.
In his 30 minutes, Traylor had 14 points and nine rebounds, six coming offensively, which displayed why he is arguably the grittiest player for the Jayhawks. This toughness was also seen when he posterized West Virginia's Devin Williams in overtime.
Mickelson scored a career high eight points, in addition to three steals and pairs of blocks and rebounds. Lucas' efforts did not show up much on the statsheet, but he had the game-saving block in the Mountaineers' final possession of regulation.
For Kansas to finish strong in the regular season, Lucas, Mickelson and Traylor will have to play vital roles. The three will have to hold their own in the paint, secure the glass and play as a unit in order to fill the void of Ellis and Alexander.

2015 Kansas Relays will host a collegiate quadrangular
The 2015 Kansas Relays will celebrate 88 years come mid-April. But this year, the meet will have slightly altered format to years prior.
There will be an open collegiate meet, which will include athletes from colleges across the country, as well as high school events. New
to the 88th Kansas Relays will be a quadrangular meet. The teams competing in the quadrangular will be Kansas, Kansas State, Colorado State and Purdue.
"With the direction track & field is trending across the U.S., and the world today, officials are looking for ways to increase their fan base and make the sport more appealing to the non-track purist," meet director Milan Donley said in the University release. "We think this will be a great way to
generate more interest around our area — a way for fans to come and see Kansas athletes going head-to-head against other great programs for a team title."
Graydon James Melia
The meet will have a team champion and will be based on a point system, similar to format and point system of the Big 12 Championships and the NCAA Championship meet. The Relays are set to take place at Rock Chalk Park on April 15-18.
Hosmer, Morales, Rios power Royals to 13-2 win against Rangers
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Eric Hosner joined Royals newcomers Kendrys Morales and Alex Rios in hitting consecutive first-inning homers, and AL champion Kansas City routed the Texas Rangers 13-2 on
Wednesday in the spring training opener for both teams.
Hosmer hit a three-run shot off Rangers starter Colby Lewis that landed on the grassy berm beyond the centerfield fence. Morales followed with a shot to right field and Rios went deep to left, giving Kansas City a 6-0 lead before Lewis had recorded an out.
Lewis retired the next three bat
ters after the homer binge, but the veteran still needed 36 pitches to get through his only inning against the Rangers' campus co-tenants.
Fellow starter Yovani Gallardo fared little better, allowing four runs on six hits over 1.2 innings in his Texas debut.

Baylor women have Big 12's top player and coach
IRVING, Texas — Baylor sophomore Nina Davis has been named the Big 12 women's player of the year, and Kim Mukley is the league's top coach for the fifth time.
Davis, a 5-foot-11 post player who was the Big 12's top freshman last season, leads the league with 20.7 points a game and is fourth with 8.6 rebounds a game.
Baylor just won its fifth consecutive Big 12 regular-season title and sixth overall. The Lady Bears have won the past four conference tournaments.
The Big 12 honors announced Wednesday were chosen by the league's head coaches.
Two Oklahoma guards got individual awards, Gabbi Ortiz as top freshman and sophomore transfer Peyton Little as top newcomer. TCU's Chelsea Prince was named the league's top defensive player and Baylor's Khadijiah Cave got the sixth-man award.

Freshman guard Lauren Aldridge drives to the basket March 2 in Allen Fieldhouse. Aldridge finished the game with 10 points and seven assists in the 68-64 victory against Iowa State.
Four Kansas players awarded with All-Big 12 Honors
Four Kansas women's basketball players were awarded with postseason All-Big 12 honors, released by the Big 12 Conference on Wednesday. Senior forward Chelsea Gardner, senior guards Asia Boyd and Natalie Knight, and freshman guard Lauren Aldridge were all selected for the 2014-15 Phillips 66 All-Big 12 Conference Awards.
Gardner was named to the All-Big 12 First Team for the second consecutive season, and this season was a unanimous first team selection. The senior averaged 16.8 points per
game, which was third overall in the conference, and 8.5 rebounds per game, which was fourth overall in the conference. Gardner is the fourth Jayhawk to score 1,400 points and have 850 rebounds in their career at Kansas. Gardner currently has 1,502 points and 874 rebounds through Monday's game.
Knight and Boyd were named to All-Big 12 Honorable Mention. Knight became the 27th Jayhawk to score 1,000 career points at Kansas. Knight averaged 12.5 points per game, which was 10th in the Big 12. Knight was seventh in Big 12 assists, averaging 3.8 per game.
Boyd, who missed the last three games of the regular season due to a stress fracture in her left
foot, averaged 10.3 points per game. Boyd finished 23rd in Big 12 scoring.
Aldridge was named to the All-Big 12 Freshman Team. Aldridge was named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Freshman of the Week on Dec. 8. Aldridge averaged 7.9 points and five assists per game. Aldridge finished with 155 assists in her freshman campaign, ranking third in the Big 12.
Kansas (15-16, 6-12), will open up play in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship on Friday at American Airlines Arena in Dallas as the ninth seed playing the eighth seed and in-state rival, Kansas State (17-12, 7-11).

The Jayhawks huddle together before the 2014 home opener against Oral Roberts. The 2015 home opener is Friday.
Kansas welcomes Utah for opener at 'The Hog'
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
For the first weekend of the season, the Kansas baseball team will stay home to take on the Utah Utes (2-10) at Hoelund Ballpark.
The Jayhawks will open their three-game series with the Utes on Friday at 3 p.m., followed by Saturday and Sunday games at 2 p.m. and 1 p.m., respectively.
These two teams are not unfamiliar with each other; this weekend will be their second matchup this season. The Jayhawks squared off against the Utes on Feb. 20 in Arizona as part of the Big 12/Pac-12 challenge. In their first meeting, the Jayhawks started hot and didn't look back, leading the whole game and winning 6-3.
strong performance in the previous meeting. Senior pitcher Drew Morovick earned his first win of the season while sophomore pitcher Stephen Villines closed out the game to earn himself a save. Morovick pitched a full six innings, gave up only five hits in his start against the Utes and is the probable starter this Friday.
Only four Jayhawks were able to record hits against the Utes in Arizona. Senior outfielder Connor McKay got a hit on all three of his at-bats, producing two RBIs. Sophomore center Michael Tinsley also tacked on two hits and two RBIs, while senior outfielder Blair Beck took advantage of the new baseballs and homered.
Utah has played six games since its earlier meeting with Kansas and has not had much to brag about, only winning one of those games against
Nicholls State.
The Utes have played better baseball than their record shows, however. Of the Utes' 10 losses, six have been by one or two runs.
Pitcher Bret Helton (1-0) is set to start on the bump this Friday for the Utes and looks to maintain his impressive 1.86 ERA through three appearances this season. Pitcher Dalton Carroll (1-2) will take on the Jayhawks on Saturday for the second time after giving up six hits and five runs in his last start. Pitcher Jayson Rose (0-2) will get the start to finish up the series in Lawrence.
The Jayhawks look to repeat the result of the early season meeting as they open up Hoglund Ballpark for the 2015 season.

Wichita State goes for second consecutive tournament title
R. B. FALLSTROM Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — This time last year, Wichita State was keeping light-hearted track of its unbeaten streak with names attached to the numbers — Michael Jordan for 23 in a row, the B-29 bomber for 29-0 and so on, until the run finally stopped at 35-0 with a two-point loss to Kentucky in the NCAA Midwest Regional final in St. Louis.
"We talked about it, coach Gregg Marshall said. "We didn't need other people to bring it up. We had fun with it." The eighth-ranked Shockers (27-3, 17-1) were nearly perfect this year in the Missouri Valley and are top seeds heading back to the same court where their dream season ended a year ago. They're peaking, too, clinching their second straight regular-season title with a winner-take-all, 74-60 victory against No. 11 Northern Iowa last Saturday at home. The lone loss was by 16 at Northern Iowa on Jan. 31.
"Pretty big day for all of us," Marshall said. "It was an exciting week, an exciting close to the season and a tremendous game viewed by a national television audience."
cess despite breaking in eight new players. Forward Tekele Cotton was named the conference top defensive player for the second straight season.
Wichita State opens Friday against the winner of the play-in game between the eighth and ninth seeds, Missouri State (11-19, 5-13) and Southern Illinois (11-20, 4-14) on Thursday night. Northern Iowa (27-3, 16-2) faces either Drake (9-21, 6-12) or Bradley (8-23, 3-15) on Friday night.
Guards Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet, second and third in balloting for Valley player of the year, have been keys to Wichita State's continued suc-

"Those guys don't walk on the floor expecting to lose, that's for sure," Marshall said.
THINGS TO WATCH FOR IN THE MISSOURI VALLEY TOURNAMENT.
GO FOR THREE
Wichita State and Northern Iowa are locks for the NCAA Tournament. The conference could get a third team if both teams falter. Third seed Indiana State (15-15, 11-7) caught stride in conference play and Illinois State and Evansville, the fourth and fifth seeds, are both 19-11.
"Those guys don't walk on the floor expecting to lose, that's for sure."
GREGG MARSHALL Wichita State basketball coach
"You've got two heavyweight contenders, a logjam in the middle and a logam at the bottom." Southern Illinois coach Barry Hinson said. "I've been on both ends of it."
TOP TALENTS
Valley player of the year Seth Tuttle of Northern Iowa is the conference's active career leader in scoring and rebounding. The 6-foot-8 Tuttle leads the Panthers in scoring (15.6 points), rebounding (6.6), assists (3.3) and blocked shots (18) and is shooting 63 percent. Northern Iowa
must get past falling short in the season finale.
"There was a real, genuine sense . of disappointment," coach Ben Jacobson said. "There were some things we did pretty well and some things we've got to do a lot better."
naker averages 15.2 points and VanVleet averages 12.5 points and 4.5 assists. Evansville landed two players, DJ. Balentine and Egidijus Mockevicius, on the six-player all-conference team.
FRONT LOADED
The No. 1 seed has won the tourney title just eight times in 24 chances. Wichita State is trying to become the seventh team to take consecutive tournament titles. The last to do it was Southern Illinois, which took three in a row from 1993-95 with a lineup that featured guard Paul Lusk, now the coach at Missouri State, on all three teams. The lowest seed to win a conference title is No. 5 Indiana State in 2001. For schools in the play-in games, it's a long grind: Only one team, No. 7 seed Bradley in 1998, has reached the semifinals.
“It’s kind of the gladiator approach,” Drake's Ray Giacoletti said.
HISTORY BOOK
Illinois State and Southern Illinois have both reached the tournament title game 10 times, the most among current Valley members. Illinois State last won, however, in 1998 when coach Dan Muller was the most outstanding player. Southern Illinois last won the title in 2007 and is in a play-in game for the fifth time in six years.

needs to be met at some point throughout the regular season. This can be done in either a dual meet or championship-style meet.
To qualify for zones, there is a minimum dive score that
At dual meets, divers have six dives. At championship-style meets, there are 11 dives.
Jones scored 271.9 in the 1-meter dive back in October at a dual meet. In February, Khechfe scored 280.2 in the 3-meter dive at a dual meet.
Standards for the 1-meter dive require a score of 255 or better at a dual meet, or 390 or better in a championship-style meet.
Standards for the 3-meter dive call for a score of 265 or better at a dual meet, or 420 or better in a championship-style meet.
Zones are essentially the Sweet 16 or Elite Eight of diving. The NCAA Championship comes afterward.
In the Zone D regional, the top eight in the 1-meter dive qualify for the NCAA Championship. In the 3-meter dive, the top 10 qualify.
Why those numbers? It's based on the performances at the zone during the previous season.

Following an overtime victory that clinched Kansas an outright Big 12 victory, the team will travel to Norman, Okla., to take on the Oklahoma Sooners. Kansas defeated the Sooners 85-78 earlier this season in Lawrence.
Junior forward Perry Ellis left Tuesday night's game with a knee sprain after colliding with sophomore forward Landen Lucas in the first half. Ellis went to the locker room and didn't return to the bench until minutes before the overtime period.
Ellis played only 17 minutes against West Virginia and scored only four points on 1-of-4 shooting. Junior forward Jamari Taylor stepped up in Ellis' absence, scoring 14 points and recording nine rebounds.
Traylor recorded four points in 23 minutes against
the Sooners last time out, adding two blocks and one assist. Freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr. recorded 19 points and pulled down nine rebounds on 6-of-11 shooting against Oklahoma last game.
With Ellis' absence, Lucas is likely to step into the starting lineup alongside Traylor in the frontcourt. Lucas did not play in the teams' last meeting, but averages 2.6 points and 3.5 rebounds per game in only 12.7 minutes per game.
The Sooners come into play with a 20-9 record, including an 11-6 conference and a 15-1 home record. Oklahoma has won four of its previous six matchups, including a seven-point loss to Iowa State in its last game. Oklahoma's loss gave Kansas a share of the Big 12 Championship.

BASKETBALL GAMEDAY
AT A GLANCE
In the West Virginia game, Frank Mason III played 42 minutes, and he hit the 100- minute mark for the season, giving him at least 100 more minutes played than any other Jayhawk. With the Big 12 title already secured, Self may opt to rest his sophomore point guard for extended stretches, meaning that Graham should have a golden opportunity to show how good he can be. Graham did have a solid outing last time against the Sooners, racking up six points and four assists in 15 minutes.
Without Perry Ellis, the Jayhawks appear to be at a disadvantage against a very good Oklahoma team. Kansas already ranks in the bottom half in the Big 12 in both rebounds and offensive rebounds, so it'll be up to Jamari Traylor, Landen Lucas and Hunter Mickelson to scrap on the glass, going up against the talented frontcourt of Oklahoma, which is led by former Oklahoma Gatorade Player of the Year, Ryan Spangler.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Devonte' Graham, freshman guard
KANSAS VS. OKLAHOMA MARCH 7,3 P.M., LLOYD NOBLE CENTER
Will Kelly Oubre Jr.
step up?
QUESTION MARK
Oubre has averaged just seven points per game in his past five road contests, and he'll need to play much better than that if the Jayhawks are going to pull off the win on the road. With Ellis out of the way, Oubre may also see his fair share of time at the power forward spot, meaning that he'll need to step up on the boards as well. If Oubre can play like he did against the Mountaineers, the Jayhawks should be in good shape in Norman.
BY THE NUMBERS
33. 6 Frank Mason averages 33.6 minutes per game,which has been done by only one other KU player since 2009.

Brannen Greene has missed all of his past 11 three-point attempts in the past three games.

The Jayhawks actually make a three-point shot. Following a performance in which the Jayhawks shot an atrocious 1-of-15 from three-point range against the West Virginia Mountaineers, the team will certainly be looking for improvement. Oubre made two of the three-point attempts during the last game versus the Sooners. The Jayhawks went on to win that game 85-78, despite 26 points from Buddy Hield.

PROJECTED STARTERS
M. KING
Frank Mason III, sophomore. guard
Frank Mason III, sophomore, guard Mason has been the most valuable player for the Jayhawks for most of the season, and he was especially crucial down the stretch against the Mountaineers. The sophomore scored 12 points in the final minute of regulation and overtime combined, and he would finish the game with 19 points and seven rebounds.
★★★★★
THE DEPARTMENT OF TAXES
Wayne Selden Jr., sophomore, guard
After scoring 14 or more points in five consecutive games, the sophomore from Roxbury, Mass., has fallen into a slump. He has scored a combined 27 points in his past five outings, while shooting just 27.6 percent from the field. Selden also scored just five points in the Jayhawks' first meeting with the Sooners this year, so he'll be looking to
★★★☆☆
A
Kelly Oubre Jr., freshman, guard
Unlike Selden, Oubre has gotten better and better as the season has gone on. The freshman has averaged more points in each month as the season has progressed. Oubre is fourth on the Jayhawks in points per game with 8.9. However, Oubre hasn't been as good on the road, averaging just 5.9 points in games played away from Allen Fieldhouse.
★★★★☆
FREDERICK J. MCGEE
Jamari Traylor, junior, forward
After scoring a grand total of one point in his previous two games, Traylor exploded with 14 points and nine rebounds in the Jayhawks' comeback victory against the Mountaineers. No play was bigger than his and one highlight dunk in overtime, which put the Jayhawks ahead 67-65 with three minutes to play. Traylor's impact was fairly minimal in the last game between the Sooners and Jayhawks, meaning he'll be looking for redemption Saturday as well.
★★★☆☆
A. PATEL
Landen Lucas, sophomore, forward With Ellis likely sidelined until the Big 12 tournament. Lucas is expected to get the start next to Traylor, just one game after Lucas set a career-high total for minutes played in a game. The sophomore will be playing against the Oklahoma Sooners for the first time in his career, as he did not enter the game in any of the teams' past
★★☆☆☆
Landen Lucas, sophomore, forward
No.15 OKLAHOMA (20-9,11-6)
PROJECTED STARTERS
PETER M. BROWN
Isaiah Cousins, junior, guard
Coming off a solid 12-point performance against Iowa State, Cousins is a 43 percent field-goal shooter, which ranks in the top 10 within the Big 12. The junior is second in the Big 12 in three-point field goal percentage as well. He hit three of his eight three-pointers to score 18 points in the last meeting with Kansas. If Kansas can't contain the best three-point shooter in the Big 12, the team will have a long day in Norman.
★★★★☆
Jordan Woodard, sophomore, guard
Oklahoma plays a two point guard set, which means either Cousins or Woodard will take the ball up the court and run the offense. The two players are interchangeable, but Woodard is more of a standard point guard compared to Cousins. Woodard's 1.7 assist-to-turnover ratio and four assists per game ranks in the top 10 within the Big 12, and against Kansas. Woodard posted a four-assist, one-turnover game.
★★★☆★
FRESHMAN
Buddy Hield, junior, guard
A candidate for the Big 12 player of the year, Buddy Hield leads the Big 12 in scoring (17.3) and three-point field goals made (79). Hield is the best player in the Big 12. His 6-foot-4, 210-pound body allows him to shoot over shorter defenders. If Hield repeats his 26-point performance, Kansas will not come out of Norman victorious.
★★★★★
1976
Ryan Spangler, junior, forward
The Oklahoma front court is going against a completely different Kansas front court. Without Alexander and Ellis, Spangler will have a field day against Lucas and Traylor. Kansas struggles to keep defenders off the offensive glass, and Spangler averages over two offensive rebounds per game. If Kansas repeats its performance against West Virginia, giving up more than 20 offensive rebounds, Oklahoma can win with a lot of second-chance points
★★★☆
PETER WATSON
Tashawn Thomas, senior, forward
After transferring from Houston, Thomas has become the fifth best field-goal shooter in the Big 12, shooting 51 percent from the floor. At 6 feet 8 inches and 240 pounds, Thomas provides the Sooners with a rim protector, blocking more than one shot per game. He's an excellent rebounder, grabbing more than six per game. Thomas could score more than his 11-point average as he faces a weakened Kansas

AT A GLANCE
PLAYER TO WATCH
After giving up a 21-point lead against Iowa State, No. 15 Oklahoma was eliminated from winning the Big 12 title outright. Once Kanas defeated West Virginia, the Sooners fell two games back in the Big 12 race and completely out of contention to share the title. Earlier this season, Oklahoma was down 19 points at halftime, and closed the gap within two points with five minutes left, but couldn't against the Sooners.
M. RAVINIKAR
Frank Booker, sophomore, guard
Booker averages only five points per game, but his minutes and production have increased in recent games. Known as a three-point shooter, against Iowa State, Booker failed to hit any of his five three-point attempts. The sophomore has the capability of providing a spark off the bench and can help either Cousins or Woodard if either get into foul trouble.
QUESTION MARK
Can Oklahoma take advantage of a weakened Kansas frontcourt?
37
Without Alexander and Ellis, the Kansas frontcourt will struggle against the veteran Oklahoma frontcourt. Both Thomas and Spangler are in the top three for field goal percentage, meaning Kansas forwards Lucas, Traylor and Hunter Mickelson will have a tough task guarding them. With Alexander and Ellis, the Kansas frontcourt has struggled rebounding, and this Oklahoma team is a top three rebounding team in the Big 12.
Oklahoma is the worst defensive rebounding team in the Big 12, allowing 37 rebounds per game.
11,050
BY THE NUMBERS
The Lloyd Noble Center averages 11,050 fans per game.
557
Okahoma is second in the Big 12, getting to the free-throw line 557 times this season.
BABY JAY WILL CRY IF
Buddy Hield scores more than 20 points. During the first meeting between Oklahoma and Kansas, Hield stole the show. He hit four of his 13 three-pointers and scored a game-high 26 points. Hield scored eight of his 26 points at the free-throw line. He will get there more often with Lucas and Traylor guarding the paint because both Kansas frontcourt players tend to foul players attacking the paint. Neither Taylor nor Lucus is a great nim protector.

Watkins promotes spring break safety with labeled cups
BEN ALLEN
@BenAllenSports
Today Watkins Health Center is launching its Safer Spring Break initiative that focuses on alcohol awareness. Representatives will distribute informational cups and cards today at Wescoe Beach, Wednesday at Daisy Hill and Thursday
at North College Cafe. The campaign's goal is to make students aware of how much they are drinking over spring break and how they can "Stay In the Blue."
The cups are designed with ounce markers that show students
how much liquor, wine or beer counts as one standard drink.
Jenny McKee, the health educator at Watkins and leader of the campaign, stressed the importance of students keeping track of how many drinks they have and that a cup of liquor isn't the same as a cup of beer.
"Many people often fill party cups up beyond the 12-ounce serving because the standard party cup is 16-ounce," McKee said. "The campaign [is] about keeping students safe and aware of how much they are drinking."
Watkins will also pass out information cards that show what men and women can drink every three hours by body weight and still stay in a healthy state. The blue represents a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) between 0.00 and 0.06 during which coordination and judgment are affected.
In 2014, the American College of Health found that over spring break, the average male would consume approximately 18 drinks a day while women will consume up to 10. Last year the National Institute
on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism found that 1,825 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die each school year from alcohol-related injuries.
"I think the cups can be very useful," said Luke Reed, a junior from Cimarron. "It would definitely help me monitor how much I drink, especially at parties where you don't often really know the size of the cup you are drinking from and how much alcohol is in it."

'That's the Way the Cookie Crumbles' tastes sweet victory at Rock Chalk Revue

@mclark59
It was a sweet victory for "That's the Way the Cookie Crumbles," this year's winning musical at Rock Chalk Revue.
Claire Inman, a senior member of Kappa Kappa Gamma from Leawood, directed the show and played a lead role. Her group did not make it to the final five last year, so she said this win was especially meaningful.
Members of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and Sigma Chi fraternity partnered to perform the original show, which told the story of the fictional Rock Chalk Cookie Shop. Judges selected the production as the best of five shows after the final performances on Saturday night.
"It it still hasn't hit me yet," Inman said. "I woke up this morning and I saw all the trophies in my trunk and it
This year marks the 66th annual Rock Chalk Revue. The show's purpose is to raise money for local charities. Proceeds this year will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County and KU Endowment's Dream Maker Fund, which provides funds to students who are struggling financially.
"It's great to help community organizations, but I also really, really am excited to help KU students," said Cameron Smith, executive producer of Rock Chalk Revue and senior from Overland Park.
was just bizarre."
Smith said the group should know the total amount raised within a couple of weeks. He said he hopes the event reached its goal of $70,000.
In the winning show, the cookie shop's owner, Mrs. Fields, played by Maggie Rossiter, a senior from Omaha, Neb., needs to leave town for a convention and puts her
In addition to the best overall award, "That's the Way the Cookie Crumbles" won Best Production Number for the song "Mix it Up," which was written to the tune of Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off." The show also included the original composition "A Batch of Our Own," which Inman co-wrote with the other two Kappa Kappa Gamma directors, Julie Chalfant, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., and Lily Swab, a junior from Tulsa, Okla.
friend, the Cookie Cutter, in charge. The Cookie Cutter, played by Darby Evans, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., decides that all the cookies should look the same and lose their individuality, so the shop workers must band together to save the day.
Inman said inspiration came to the trio when Swab was eating Girl Scout cookies as they discussed participating in this year's show. After a couple of hours brainstorming cookie
puns, they decided to sign on for "another year of madness."
"It's a really big deal for everybody." Hanson said. "We all really love being involved in it and we look forward to seeing it every year."
Brooke Hanson, a senior member of Kappa Kappa Gamma from St. Louis, said even though only 50 members of each sorority and fraternity pair — 25 women and 25 men — actually participate in the show, they try to involve the entire houses as much as possible.
Hanson said there were a lot of great shows this year, but she thinks Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Chi's choreography, costumes and comedy set their show apart. She said she thought everybody in the audience really appreciated the humor of the show.

Marijuana, in-state tuition for illegal immigrants and voter registration requirements were among the topics discussed Thursday at a panel discussion hosted by University's Future Majority Group.

The Future Majority, a non-partisan political group that focuses on civil engagement and education of college students, hosted the event, along with several other politically minded student groups. The panel was meant to foster an environment for open and non-partisan discussion, according to Future Majority member Natalie Parker, a recent graduate from Overland Park.

Lawrence campus may lose $4.7 million
A possible reallocation of $4.7 million from the University's Lawrence campus to the University's Medical Center was endorsed Thursday by the Kansas Senate's Ways and Means Committee.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little issued a message Friday condemning the endorsement and unprecedented proposed reallocation. Over the next two fiscal years, that money will be allocated to the University's various Medical Centers, mostly to the KU School of Medicine-Wichita. Gray-Little, in the message, said both the
University and the Board of Regents strongly oppose this action.
While Gray-Little recognized the importance of funding the medical centers and future medical professionals, in the message, she said this is not the way to do it. She asserted it would harm those future professionals, many of whoo undergraduate work at the Lawrence campus.
The Senate will revisit the proposal later in session for a possible decision.

"I would technically be classified as a moderate Republican," Clayton said. "Yes, they still do exist in Kansas — I am one of them. I am standing here today to attest to that."
One concern was regarding civic engagement, specifically voting registration for students.
Clayton considers transparency in government to be her "personal flagship issue." She is currently proposing a bill, the Transparency Act, to make the legislature more accessible to the public.
francisco spoke about the procedure that requires all voters to present their birth certificate in order to register to vote. She said the legislature had been promised that people would be able to register without the birth certificate, as long as they had a driver's license, but there have been some technical difficulties with that solution.
"Part of the reason I ran for office is that I felt a great deal of righteous indignation about the way that things are run [in the legislature]," Clayton said. "I was always very upset about the fact that things were not brought out into the open and into the sunlight."
At the panel representatives from the sponsoring student groups and students in the audience asked the legislators questions about issues they had concerns about.
Clayton's problem with the birth certificate requirement is that many people don't have them and have to pay at least $15 to get one. Those who weren't born in Kansas would have to pay more.
"You know what that is?
That's a poll tax — that's making you pay to vote," Clayton said. "And it's not OK.
It doesn't matter what political party you're from, it doesn't matter whether it's above the board or not, it's an un-American sentiment to have."
A student from the University's Hispanic American Leadership Organization asked about the currently pending bill that would deny illegal immigrants in-state tuition.
From an economic perspective, Clayton said she would rather spend money in the form of tuition to help illegal immigrants get ahead.
rather than paying welfare or unemployment later. Francisco agreed with Clayton in favor of the in-state tuition for illegal immigrants.
"We really want to grow as a state, and we're not going to grow if we don't welcome new people to the state," Francisco said. "That has to be part of what we're going to do. The situation right now is that we have jobs, [but] we have to make sure that the right people are trained for these jobs."

Another member of the audience raised the question of marijuana legalization and the lack of discussion in the legislature.
"We really want to grow as a state, and we're not going to grow if we don't welcome new people to the state."

"House leadership is too afraid to run anything having to do with marijuana at all," Clayton said.
Francisco and Clayton both said the state legislature is somewhat reluctant to even discuss or vote on legislation regarding medicinal marijuana.
In this discussion, Francisco brought up another pending bill regarding alcoholic beverages being sold in grocery stores. In her opinion, it would be better for college students to enjoy some sort of alcoholic beverages in a public place, rather than a party.
The legislators encouraged the audience to contact their representatives to discuss or express opinions on current legislation. Francisco added that legislators are also always looking for people to testify during hearing, either for or against bills.
"The argument that I'm making against the change to liquor in grocery stores, is that I would like to see 3.2 cereal malt beverages brought back for 19 to 21 year olds," Francisco said. "That makes sense for this community."

"I want to change that, and how we do that is having strong leadership and experience to make the changes that are needed.

different ingredients," Fortin said.
The evening will focus on building a healthy meal — an area in which many college students feel unprepared. In fact, more than half of college students perceived having limited access to nutritious foods, according to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior
One reason for this perception is partially because students often have tight budgets. Learning to plan and prepare meals can help students' finances while still eating nutritious foods.
"Planning is one of the biggest pieces when it comes to eating healthy on a budget," Fortin said. "It is much more costly to continue to buy grab-and-go options on campus instead of prepping healthy meals at home and coming prepared."

Teachers, students react to sexual censorship bill

Celeste Hutton's english class at Wichita East High School poses with their copies of "Huckleberry Finn" and sent it to the governor in light of Senate Bill 56.
Students and teachers across the state reacted to the bill Kansas Senate passed last week that would hold teachers criminally liable for distributing "inappropriate materials." These materials include anything too sexual or profane for minors, although the bill doesn't go into specific detail.
Both high school and college students took to Twitter with the hashtag #StopSB56. Some brought their protests into their classrooms.
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Wichita Southeast High School sophomore Sarah Marmol said one of her teachers allowed students to come into her classroom and call state representatives. The teacher gave them a list of Republicans and Democrats and their contact information, along with a script.
"As we called, some were very rude," Marmol said. "Others agreed with us, and we left voicemails for the ones who didn't answer."
Trevor Mahan, a sophomore at Wichita East High School, protested the bill by tweeting a picture of his English class holding "Huckleberry Finn" with the caption, "Look what we're reading! It's education not offensive #StopSB56."
We're reading Huck Finn in class right now, and if this bill passed, it would definitely be on the banned book list", Mahan said. "Our teacher told us about the bill, and all of us, naturally being against it, decided to take a group picture with our books and send it to
the governor and other state senators and representatives."
Though there's no definitive evidence that books like "Huckleberry Finn" would be eliminated from Kansas schools, but Dr. Micah Kubic, executive director of Kansas' American Civil Liberties Union, said he believes it's a possibility.
existing protocols are sufficient and should be left up to the individual schools.
"Teachers are going to be a lot less likely to give assignments
"There's no need to criminalize teachers and dramatically increase punishments and scrutiny," Kubic said. "It would impact the quality and type of education students receive in Kansas schools."
or have discussions because someone, somewhere might object," Kubic said. "This is problematic for both students and parents who want their children to get a good education."

the bill is designed to prevent another situation like this from occurring. Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook, the bill's sponsor, could not be reached for comment.
This bill comes from a controversial poster that was displayed at a Shawnee Mission middle school last year. The sexual education poster listed a variety of ways
people show affection, some of which were explicit.
Kubic said the situation at the Shawnee school was addressed relatively quickly, and the teacher responsible was punished, showing that
Reber is unsure whether the bill would affect him.
"The bill seems to be more of an intimidation stunt than anything." Reber said. "You'd be hard pressed to find any harmful materials within a district's established curriculum."
However, Reber is still against the bill.
"It would empower a lot of people to try and bully teachers or schools into not addressing certain topics, which is unfortunate," Reber said.
"Especially if I decide to be a high school teacher, it makes me hesitant," said Brittany Bartak, a junior from Chicago. "I feel like the government should understand that as teachers, our responsibility is to educate."
The potential consequences within the bill might even be enough to deter education majors here at the University.
Another bill inspired by the poster will require parents of students to opt into sex education rather than opt out, like many schools require now.
"The way I see it, the problem with opting in is that it immediately puts the kids whose parents are not engaged at a disadvantage, and they will miss out on that education," Reber said.
Kubic said he believes the bills are tied together and a part of a bigger agenda to put a limit on academic freedom.
"It's important for the people of Kansas to see the connection between the two bills," Kubic said. "There's a broader play at work here."

College is about more than the degree
Mid-semester: the time of year when class attendance drops, midterms make their unwelcome appearance and all eyes turn toward spring break. During this time, the semester seems to have no end. However, we should instead use this time to reflect on the college experience, why we're here and what our hard work is accomplishing.
For many Americans, college is primarily an economic investment. According to a 2011 Gallup poll, 53 percent of Americans said they believe the main reason to attend college is to earn more money, while a third think it is important for finding a good job. Expected income is clearly important to those seeking a college degree, but are we here just to get a job and make more money? I don't think so.
College is about finding yourself and expanding your mind. It's possibly the only time in your life that you will be liberated from the pressures of the outside world and intimately connected to your peers. College is not about maximizing your
potential income; it's about becoming a better person
It appears that very few people actually believe this to be true. The same Gallup poll reports that only 5 percent believed college is about becoming a well-rounded person, 3 percent said it is to learn more about the world and 1 percent said it is to learn how to think critically. Only 3 percent answered with "all of the above."
Many people take economic concerns a step further by deciding on their major based on projected incomes. For instance, the proportion of college graduates majoring in business - a field typically viewed as lucrative - has ballooned to 21 percent of all graduates in 2011, up from
14 percent in 1970, according to the Digest of Educational Statistics.
This concern with the marketability of one's major is misplaced. Evidence suggests that one's undergraduate major has little effect on the ability to get a good job in most career fields after graduation. Indeed, the U.S.Census Bureau states that only 27 percent of the workforce occupies a job that directly matches their major.
In all likelihood, you'll be here for four or more years. You should fill your time with something you are passionate about.
Strive to get deeper meaning out of your college experience and let new ideas
ignite your curiosity.Get excited about learning and expanding your knowledge of humanity.Don't cheapen this time of your life by solely expanding your earning potential. College is much more than that.
It's important to remember that the college experience should not be primarily an economic investment. It's about questioning, answering, pursuing one's passions and gaining experience for later in life. College is investing your time and effort into building a better person. It's about pursuing "all of the above."

ASK ANISSA
KANSAN SPECIAL
My girlfriend wants us to get a dog, but I think that's too much of a commitment. How can I get this through to her without hurting her feelings?
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritz
Dogs can bring an immense amount of joy into an individual's life, end so do relationships.
But mixing dogs and relationships together can sometimes bring the opposite. Both require commitment and time, and let's be honest that's not something that most college students are in a high supply of.
I'm glad you already see that getting a dog with your girlfriend is a poor idea, but now you need to convince your girlfriend. Maybe it's because the idea of seriously committing to someone in college is scarier to me than the boom boom room when the lights come on, but a pet seems to be a sign of serious commitment. Just getting a dog isn't a huge deal, but getting it with your significant other brings the relationship to a whole new level.
After that, bring up the point that if your relationship were to fail, who would get the dog? In my mind, a dog is kind of like a practice round for having a kid. If you two break up, this will be a dog from a broken home. You may think my wording is humorous, but dogs actually do notice when people

For starters, dogs cost money. With shots, food, grooming and supplies, it adds up fast. You need to sit her down and go through how much money that cute little puppy with the big brown eyes will drain from the bank account, and then say, "You're paying half of that."
"REMIND HER THAT WHILE DOGS ARE CUTE AND FUN, SHE IS ALL THE CUTE AND FUN YOU WANT IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW."
don't come around as often and it takes a toll on them, especially if it were one of their owners.
These are probably the reasons that you don't want to get a dog, but when you tell her, "I don't think we should get a dog," she's probably not thinking about these things. What will run through her mind will be, "He's not committed to me." I know it sounds crazy, but that's just how our minds tend to work (#sorrynotsorry). You need to emphasize that your reluctance to get a dog does not run any deeper than your concerns about the expense and stress it could cause on your relationship. Remind her that while dogs are cute and fun, she is all the cute and fun you want in your life right now. And if that doesn't seal the deal, get a fish.
AP curriculum should be protected from patriotic bias
Victoria Calderon
@WriterVictoriaC
Many University students benefit from taking Advanced Placement classes in high school, and about 60 percent of all high schools in the United States offer them, according to the College Foundation of North Carolina. These classes can be transferred for college credits at a significantly cheaper cost, while also preparing students for the rigor of college. Unfortunately, if Kansas and other state legislatures get their way, younger generations of Americans may not be able to reap the benefits of this program if the AP U.S. history (APUSH) curriculum is deemed "unpatriotic."
According to the Wichita Eagle, House Bill 2292 has been designed to repeal the Common Core standards that Kansas legislators had adopted themselves. They are hoping that this law will allow education standards to go back to what they were before 2010. These standards will force the AP curriculum to fit within specific standards designed by Kansas for these classes. The article reports that, "Educators say that directive would be difficult, if not impossible, because such courses are modeled on national or international frameworks."
It appears the attack on AP classes is only part of a bigger debate about the amount of sovereignty a state has over its own educational programs. Nevertheless, there is still a strong disagreement amongst those who represent the anti-
Common Core movement in Kansas about how AP classes are taught, particularly APUSH. The Wichita Eagle continues, "Lisa Huesers, a member of Kansans Against Common Core... and others in her group don't agree with recent changes to the course framework for APUSH, which has been the focus of debate in several states."
Kansas isn't the only state that feels this way. Conservative lawmakers in Oklahoma, Georgia, Nebraska, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas have introduced proposals regarding APUSH curriculum, "to revise the framework to include specific facts, and to make sure it promotes American exceptionalism;" if those conditions aren't met, the state would withdraw funding from the College Board in that state, CNN reported. Oklahoma took drastic measures where Republican Rep. Dan Fisher originally proposed a bill that would strip funding from APUSH classes across the state. His justification for this bill was that the current framework for APUSH "emphasizes 'what is bad about America' and characterizes the United States as a 'nation of oppressors and exploiters';" the Washington Post reported.
These conservative politicians have changed their solution to simply review the framework instead of automatically removing funding. Unfortunately, their bias on what side of America should be emphasized in education would cause the state legislators to eliminate an incredibly beneficial program in exchange for an extremely costly, state-led alternative, as the Washington Post reports.
The benefits of AP classes extend beyond providing students with cheaper college
credits; they also cultivate the minds of students for the critical-thinking skills they will need in college courses allowing them to see all perspectives and aspects of U.S. history and subsequently form their own opinions about our society, according to the US News.
"THE CURRICULUM OF THESE CLASSES SHOULD ALSO BE PROTECTED FROM THOSE POLITICIANS WHO WANT TO REWRITE OUR NATION'S HISTORY IN FAVOR OF THEIR OWN OPINIONS."
I agree with the Washington Post's article that "setting politically motivated ceilings on what students are allowed to learn will ultimately make them less informed citizens, likely dooming them to support passing equally dumb public policies as adults." AP classes are structured by professors and historians, who are better qualified to set standards than the state legislators or local school board members. Not only should AP classes be allowed to continue being funded in high schools, but the curriculum of these classes should also be protected from those politicians who want to rewrite our nation's history in favor of their own opinions.

Members of the KU Genuine imitation show off their talents by singing in the Strong Hall Rotunda during a Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration.
ALL DOVER/KANSAN
While some groups on campus play instruments, KU Genuine Imitation approaches music in a different way — it uses members as the instruments. KU Genuine Imitation is an a cappella group that started at the University in 2003.
Rachel Prather, a senior from Palo Cedro, Calif., is the music director for the group. She said creativity is a big part of a cappella.
EXIT
This year Genuine Imitation has been busy. It recently participated in the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella. Last year the group placed third; this year it didn't place.
"It's about what we want to do with the group." Prather said. "In contemporary a cappella, it's your job to imitate the instrument; you're not a singer anymore."
Prather said even though they didn't place, they are happy with how they performed.
"For a lot of us, Genuine Imitation is a way to get back to the music that we love."
ALEX KONG Senior from Lawrence
"It's been a rebuilding year, but it's been a fulfilling year and we've got a lot of work done." Prather said.
Of the 19 members Genuine Imitation currently has, 15 of them are new. Both Prather and Alex Kong, a senior from Lawrence and the business director for Genuine Imitation, said one of the most challenging aspects this year was rebuilding the group with all the new members.
"When we're doing something that seems so abstract from the outside, it can be difficult to get everyone on the same page," Prather said.
One difficulty was helping new members to find their niche and musical role in the group. Kong said easing students' concerns about recreating the group's previous music can be difficult.
"It's not about recreating that sound, it's about using the new voices to form something completely unique," Kong said.
"What's been really cool is seeing some of our really young members who have never done anything like this really come into their own and find their voices," she said.
This year the group also participated in KU's Got
Prather said she enjoys watching the group grow and change.
KU Genuine Imitation participates in several events throughout the year. The group has 19 members. Fifteen of them are new.

Kong said he joined KU Genuine Imitation after missing being involved in his high school choir.
"I have so many science courses, and so much time spent in that lab that even though [rehearsal] is 4 hours a week, that time is just a lot of fun for me, and helps me to unwind and to be able to do something completely different," Kong said.
Kong said he wanted to become more involved with the group after his first year. He said the directors are the ones who make it all work and enjoyed his transition into that role.
Prather said she auditioned for the group junior year. She was involved in a capella in high school and was excited about staying involved in college. She said she waited until her junior year to audition because she never really had the time for it before then.
"The biggest thing that
we agreed on is that we all did music in high school, we all like to sing outside of our normal lives, and it's something we can do together that we wouldn't have any other opportunity to do elsewhere."
"We seldom have any music majors," Kong said. "It's really about reconnecting to that love for music, and when the
Prather said from the moment she joined, she wanted to give the role of music director a try.
Kong said one driving goal behind KU Genuine Imitation is the diverse background of the members involved.
Prather said one thing the group shares is their love for music.
"I had a vision for the kind of group that we could have, and I think it's super fun to work with young musicians and help us all figure out together what our sound is going to be," Prather said.

"There's also the creativity everybody wants to make sure that their show is the funniest and that their show looks the best up on stage," Hanson said. "So just making sure all the little details come together is a big challenge as well."

The International Women's Day website says the day is supposed to celebrate the economic, social and political achievements of women past, present and future. This year, it was unfortunate to find that much of the internet buzz stemmed from negativity. With more strong female role models surfacing in recent years, hopefully the day will soon become a day of celebration instead of another day in the battle for equality.
InternationalWomensDay receives negative attention on Twitter
Lily Grant
@lilygrant UDK
women even more than it does on a regular basis.
Yesterday was International Women's Day. However, the first tweet that made me aware of this holiday was not one of appreciation or respect for my gender. My own feed, along with many other Twitter users', was littered with tweets mocking, disrespecting and disregarding the day.
The popular Twitter account "Meninist," which has 730.1K followers, had a field day tweeting about it. From "#InternationalWomen'sDay? Shop: meninst.co," and "okay it's #InternationalWomen'sDay, so? [b****], #OpTicGaming is playing and you're over here worrying about the wrong [s***] smh., to "you can't spell women's day without men." Meninist jumped at the opportunity to discriminate against
The majority of the tweets acknowledging the day were in support of the day, but nearly all of those were posted by women. Many of them said things along the lines of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fundamental Human Rights." Rather than International Women's Day being a day celebrating women, it was a day of women continuing to fight for equality and a few trashing the idea altogether.
International Men's Day exists, too, on Thursday, Nov.19, but it likely won't get nearly as much attention as Women's Day because, for the most part, men don't have to fight to be treated as equals in the modern world.
Laci Green is a popular YouTuber who teaches sex education and is an advocate for feminism.Her tweets constantly focus on
raising awareness about inequality in our world. Regarding International Women's Day, she tweeted "disappointed with guys who complain whenever something is directed specifically toward women. it's okay not to be the focus all the time... men/white/straight/etc peeps are so used to their experience being the default that focusing on anyone else is perceived as 'injustice.'"
YouTube recently launched the #DearMe campaign, encouraging YouTubers to create videos sharing what they, would like to tell their younger selves. They promoted International Women's Day by showcasing female YouTubers who have established themselves through the website, like Michelle Phan and Grace Helbig.

Sporting Kansas City draws New York 1-1 in opener

Sporting Kansas City midfielder, Graham Zusi, dribbles the ball towards goal in the game against the New York Red Bulls on Sunday night.
Four Kansas basketball players receive Big 12 honors
Four Kansas players, Perry Ellis, Frank Mason III, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Wayne Selden Jr. were selected to the coaches' All-Big 12 teams, the league announced Sunday.
Ellis, a junior forward, was selected as the Jayhawks' lone representative on the first-team, marking the 26th time a Jayhawk has received that honor, according to a KU Athletics press release. Right behind Ellis was sophomore guard Mason, who was voted to the second-team, while Oubre and Selden were honorable mention selections.
Ellis, at 10th, while finishing fourth in the conference in three-point percentage, seventh in free-throw percentage and fourth in assists.
Mason also led the conference in minutes per game, according to ESPN online.
Oubre, a freshman guard, averaged a solid 9 points per game in the regular season, and in addition to being an honorable mention for the coaches' teams, he was also selected to the Big 12 all-newcomer team, along with Myles Turner, Jameel McKay, Tashawn Thomas and Anthony Hickey.
In the regular season, Ellis led the Jayhawks in points and rebounds, while finishing sixth in the conference in points per game. Mason was just behind
Sophomore guard Selden, on the other hand, received no further honors, but he did finish second for the Jayhawks in minutes and assists, while leading the team in made three-point shots, according to ESPN.

@HardyNFL
When Major League Soccer put Sporting Kansas City on the schedule for a rematch of last year's playoff match against the New York Red Bulls in the first weekend of play, it was expected to be a chance for revenge.
Rather, the teams walked out with a 1-1 draw and an entire season ahead; it was nothing like the match we saw in October, with Sporting Kansas City eliminated from the MLS playoffs.
Not only was the match played, in Sporting Park among the "Blue Hell," but six of Sporting Kansas City's starters in Sunday night's game weren't on last year's active roster. All 11 of Sporting KC's starters were playing in a new formation implemented by manager Peter Vermes.
the teams went to half at a 0-0 draw, though both sides created plenty of chances with 16 shots. But it didn't take long
Even after defender Matt Besler picked up his second yellow card for a reckless tackle and was disqualified from the game, Sporting Kansas City stayed offensive in the final 20 minutes, hardly conceding any offense to the
On the Red Bulls' ensuing possession, midfielder Lloyd Sam took advantage of Sporting KC midfielder Roger Espinoza, who overcommitted on the play. Sam curled his shot from the top of the box around new goalkeeper Luis Marin for what would be the final goal of the game.
Sporting Kansas City struck first as midfielder Benny Feilhaber put a high cross from outside the right side of the box for an unmarked Ike Opara, who made his first regular season start since tearing his Achilles' early in 2014. Opara put it in no problem, but the lead only lasted a few short minutes.
for the star-studded teams to get on the scoreboard in the second half.
Kansas City had a few chances last year, mostly created by Feilhaber. The best chance came on a Red Bulls' turnover in the midfield as Feilhaber got the ball in the right side of the box again, who then put in a low cross for striker Dom Dwyer, but the team-leader in goals couldn't finish the sliding shot as it deflected just left.
Red Bulls over the final 10 minutes of play.
Scott Chasen
Despite the misses from Dwyer, Vermes' new formation created a lot of chances for Sporting KC, who finished with 18 shots, and the new cast put on quite the show for their first time out in a regular season game.
It was one of multiple missed chances for Dwyer on Sunday, including another in stoppage time that he couldn't quite finish.
Sporting Kansas City will return to action next Saturday in Dallas as they take on FC Dallas.

BASKETBALL REWIND
HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
The Sooners landed the first real blow in the opening period, jumping out to a 17-8 lead, which forced a Bill Self timeout. However, the Jayhawks had some unlikely heroes step up in Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, Hunter Mickelson and Landen Lucas, keeping the Oklahoma lead to just two at the half. The Jayhawks closed the period on a 10-2 run, and the momentum appeared to be swinging their way headed into the break, as the Sooners had recorded just one made field goal in the last three minutes.
2ND HALF
GAME TO REMEMBER
PETER PARKS
TaShawn Thomas started out the second half with six quick points, as the Oklahoma lead started to grow, but Jamari Traylor was there to answer, scoring six points of his own during a two minute stretch. However, with 29 seconds left in the game, the Jayhawks found themselves trailing by five, in need of a miracle, and they got one in Frank Mason III. Mason knocked down seven straight free throws, the last of which tied the game up at 73, although Buddy Hield was able to hit the game-winning layup with just 0.2 seconds left on the clock.
Mason
GAME TO FORGET
PETER RABBENE
Without Perry Ellis in the starting lineup, everyone knew Kansas' second-best scorer would take more than 10 shots, but not everyone knew Mason would go to the line nine times and make all nine three of the nine free throws came in the final second to tie the game. Mason scored the final five points and scored his third 20-plus point game, which carried a hurt team and gave the Jayhawks a chance to win.
Selden
UNSUNG HERO
Ayush Bhatia
The sophomore shouldn't have even suited up for the game. Selden hurt his ankle during the West Virginia game, and playing him was a game-time decision against Oklahoma, but Selden started his 31st game of the season, which leads the team. Selden failed to score, missing all seven of his field-goal attempts. He couldn't even provide help on defense due to his inability to use his quickness because of the sore ankle. Selden was a waste of a body Saturday and shouldn't have even played.
Lucas
Lucas knew he had to step up in the absence of Perry Ellis, and Lucas did exactly that. Kansas was without its best rebounder in Ellis, but the Jayhawks still outrebounded the Sooners behind Lucas' 12 rebounds. Six of the 12 were offensive rebounds, which turned into 12 second-chance points.

COMMENTARY Kansas enters postseason with lots of questions
BASKETBALL Four players receive Big 12 honors | PAGE 12
Head he pos Bill Self's Kansas Jayhawks have a lot of questions that need answering. Will junior forward Perry Ellis be able to fight through a left knee strain and be Kansas' most effective player again? Will the Jayhawks be without No. 2 recruit in the nation, freshman forward Cliff Alexander? And who will step up for an increased role in the tournament?
Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein
In Kansas' comeback win against West Virginia last week, Ellis headed to the locker room early with a left knee strain, taking a toll on Kansas' shooting for the rest of the game. Before that, Ellis had recorded three consecutive triple-doubles, including a season-high 28 points against Texas.
Since Kansas's shooting has decreased, Ellis has become the focal point of the Jayhawks' offense, leading the way all season with 14.2 points per game on 47.1 percent shooting from the field. He was recently named to the All-Big 12 first team and is in consideration for Big 12 Player of the Year.
Ellis' health will be in question as Kansas heads into March. Junior forward Jamari Traylor and sophomore forward Landen Lucas have done well in Ellis' place. Nevertheless, come tournament time, Kansas will need Ellis' offensive fire power if it plans to make a deep run in the tournament.
Cliff Alexander has not played in Kansas' past three games due to an "NCAA issue." The Jayhawks are still uncertain what his participation will be for the remainder of the season.
Alexander leads Kansas with 37 blocks on the season and averages 7.1 points per game. The freshman big man has struggled at times this season, as Self has worked with his minutes all year. But there have been times where Alexander has had flashes of brilliance. He has had two four-block games and two double-doubles.
Big bodies are important in March, and Kansas is starting to run a little short on its frontcourt. If Alexander cannot play, junior transfer Hunter Mickelson will continue to get minutes down the stretch. Mickelson has recorded 13 points and five blocks in Alexander's absence.
Lucas had a breakout game at Oklahoma on Saturday, recording 13 points and adding 12 rebounds. Lucas is one of Kansas' biggest bodies, and with an increased workload, has played effective minutes recently. As Lucas' minutes have increased this season, so has his production. If Alexander is still sidelined, Lucas should be in position for a productive March.
The Jayhawks will have to use the right players in place of Ellis and Alexander. After an 11th-straight Big 12 regular season title, Self will look to lead Kansas to more post-season success than they've enjoyed in recent years.

Softball takes Stetson Tournament title

The No. 25 Jayhawks won their first weekend tournament of the season, taking down La Salle, Chattanooga and Stetson over the weekend. Although they did endure their second loss of the season, a 4-0 shutout to the Chattanooga Mocs on Saturday, the Jayhawks gained some momentum going into next weekend's home opener at Rock Chalk Park.
JAYHAWKS TOP MOCS; WIN STETSON TOURNAMENT
A day after being handed their second loss of the season, the Jayhawks faced off with the Mocs one more time. The result was
an entirely different story. The Jayhawks blew out Chattanooga 11-3 in five innings.
After only three hits against Chattanooga pitcher Cori Jennings on Saturday, the Jayhawks recorded eight Sunday. Freshman infielder Daniella Chavez started the team's scoring in the first inning, hitting a grand slam for the Jayhawks.
"Yesterday she was fooled big time by that pitcher in every single at-bat. Today was huge — that's the ballgame. If she doesn't do that, who knows what happens." Kansas coach Megan Smith said in a University press release. "She sent a message that we were going to hit (Jennings) and we continued to do so. I'm really proud of
how Daniella bounced back and had a better mindset at the plate today."
Senior pitcher Alicia Pille, the tournament's MVP, had another good game, striking out six batters while allowing seven hits. Pille only allowed three runs in the game.
Junior outfieldier Briana Evans, the reigning Big 12 Player of the Week, led the Jayhawks with two hits. Senior utility Maddie Stein added two hits and two RBIs.
"I'm really proud of the way our team came out," Smith said in a press release. "We were excited to play Chattanooga again and we wanted (Jennings) to pitch again because we wanted to see how our players would make adjustments after listening to more game
planning and seeing some video. I'm really pleased with them coming out today and being intentional about doing a better job."
The Jayhawks started the weekend off with a bang, blowing out both La Salle and Chattanooga on Friday. The Jayhawks' second loss of the season came Saturday in the second of three matchups with Chattanooga before rebounding to defeat Stetson by a score of 10-1 later that day.

Early win not enough as Kansas loses series to Utah

The Kansas baseball team could not capitalize on its win Friday as it dropped the final two games, losing the series against Utah.
The Utes got on the board early after shortstop Cody Scaggari knocked a solo home run over the left field fence to give his team a 1-0 lead.
Pitching continues to be problematic for the Jayhawks as they gave up 35 hits and 18 runs to the Utes throughout the three-game series.
"We needed to pitch better to have an opportunity to win the series," coach Ritch Price said. "Due to some injuries this week with Drew Morovick not being able to pitch, it changed our rotation for the weekend and we gave a couple guys their first starts of their careers."
Friday's SportsCenter appearance wasn't enough for Afenir as he showcased his skill in the outfield once again with another diving grab.
Blake Weiman is a freshman who falls into that category. While senior Morovick was out with a sore elbow, the freshman pitcher started the final game of the series pitching four innings, giving up six hits and three earned runs.
"It's going to take us four to six weeks before all of these freshmen can make the jump from being really good high school players to being solid Division 1 pitchers," Price said.
The rubber match was all Utah as the Jayhawks could not consistently hit or pitch on Sunday.
The Jayhawks started the series well on Friday, winning their home-opener 7-5. Friday saw a lot of offense as the Jayhawks racked up 15 hits and Utah earning 12 of its own. Sophomore center fielder Joven Afenir was featured on ESPN's SportsCenter Top 10 for his diving catch in the top of the seventh inning.
After taking advantage of a pair of wild pitches from Weiman, two more Utes found their way to home
Saturday was not as kind to the Jayhawks as they would drop game two 5-1. Stellar pitching was the story of the day as Utah's Dalton Carroll threw a complete game, allowing six hits and no earned runs.
plate. The Utes held a threerun lead while the Jayhawk offense couldn't get anything going throughout the first three innings.
In the top of the fourth. Afenir proved he could bat and play stellar defense, giving the Jayhawks their first run of the game with a solo shot over right field. Joe Moroney would also reach home before the inning's end, closing the deficit to 3-2.

Utah responded with a hitting spree in the next two innings, including four straight singles and a pair of steals in the sixth to give the Utes a 6-2 lead.
The Jayhawks continued to struggle on offense while the Utes added two more runs to give them a six-run lead going into the final inning.
UP NEXT
Sophomore Marcus Wheeler gave the Jayhawks a glimmer of hope in the bottom of the ninth by hitting a two-run bomb over left-center as a pinch hitter. It would not be enough, however, as Utah took care of business and defeated the Jayhawks 8-4 to win the rubber match and the series.
The Jayhawks will try and bounce back from their current two-game skid against Central Michigan (10-5) at Hoglund Ballpark on Tuesday at 3 p.m.

KU SAE chapter reacts to Oklahoma frat's racist video
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
The University's chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity released a statement on Facebook on Monday, prompted by protests and outrage after a now-viral video of fraternity members at the University of Oklahoma chanting racial slurs that surfaced Sunday.
"Extremely shocked by the video involving SAE at OU. 'who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own.' Being an initiated member of [Sigma Alpha Epsilon] means pledging yourself to be, and then continually striving every day to further become, a True Gentleman. [Phi Alpha] to those who hold these values strong, and make them what they are," the KU SAE chapter statement said.
The video, in which fraternity members pumped their fists and yelled, "there will never be a [expletive] SAE," was sent to The Oklahoma Daily, the student newspaper, and a minority rights campus organization Sunday.
University of Oklahoma President David Boren said on Facebook on Monday the university would cut ties with the chapter immediately.
"I have a message for those who have misused their freedom of speech in this way. My message to them is: You're disgraceful. You have violated every principle that this university stands for;" Boren said in the statement.
The national representatives of Sigma Alpha Epsilon released a statement apologizing for the "unacceptable and racist behavior of the individuals in the video." The statement said the actions are not representative of the fraternity's morals or beliefs.
"We are embarrassed by this video and offer our empathy not only to anyone outside the organization who is offended but also to our brothers who come from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures and ethnicities," it said.
"Even if you were on that bus and you didn't agree with what was going on, you needed to have said something."

Joshua Robinson, a junior from Overland Park, is the president of the Black Student Union at the University. He said he isn't surprised by the behavior at the University of Oklahoma.

Six design students took home gold and silver awards from the American Advertising Federation of Kansas City (AAF-KC) American Advertising Awards on Feb. 21.
Gold award winners have been entered into a regional competition and will move onto the national competition if they are again awarded gold.
Josie Miller, a senior from Lenexa, won for her Kansas City Star rebranding project. She also was named the best student in the competition. Her entry consisted of different forms of mock advertising, a new web design, email newsletter and daily news feed.
"My goal was to make the news relevant to millennials while engaging them socially in Kansas City, thus generating pride for the city," Miller said.
Miller also wanted to update the newspaper and create a vision for what the media outlet could become.
"The problem within the newspaper industry has been a familiar one to me, and I believe that solving this problem will start by helping companies envision a future," Miller said.
Aliaa El Kalyoubi, a senior
from Egypt, also received a gold award for her project "West + East," an imaginary organization to promote both positive relationships and mutual interest between American and Middle Eastern students.

Harvard professor and former Soviet Union resident to speak on campus
Serhii Plokhi, a Harvard professor of Eastern European History, will give a lecture in 318 Bailey Hall at noon today to discuss the fall of the Soviet Union, how it happened and the current situation in Ukraine. Born in the Soviet Union, Plokhi lived in the country for about 33 years before coming to the U.S. as an exchange student to work on his doctoral dissertation at Columbia University.

Last night at the Kansas Union, Plokhii spoke about his book, "The Last Empire," which argues that the Soviet Union dissolved because of tensions between Russia and Ukraine. Today, Plokhii will address the current crisis and tensions between the two nations.

For the fourth time during his tenure at Kansas, Bill Self has been named the Big 12 AP Coach of the Year. This season, Self led Kansas to its 11th consecutive Big 12 title under his helm and recorded 24 wins.
"That's nice, but it is a reflection that you've got good players and good teams," Self said. "I think there were several coaches that would deserve to be named that and nobody would have a problem with it because the league was so good and teams probably played to a higher level than what they were projected to early on."

Imagine chooses executive candidates
The Student Senate coalition Imagine nominated senior Katherine Rainey from Shawnee and junior Ramiro Sarmiento from Wichita as its presidential and vice presidential candidates, respectively. The candidates were the only two nominated at a coalition meeting Monday.
Sarmiento said he has a passion for ending the disconnect between Student Senate and the student body.
"People don't know Senate is there to represent them." Sarimento said. "They don't feel comfortable or heard. Year after year, we have coalition after coalition come to students and voice how wonderful they will be once they're in Senate, then fall comes around and that does not happen. Those promises remain unfulfilled, and I'm tired of that. I can't see this go on for another year."
Rainey said she has witnessed
"I was a part of Senate for two years, and that environment is not productive to being a student here at KU," she said. "You don't learn about the students you are truly supposed to be helping. Each year, students give about $450 to Senate to allocate these dollars to student organizations. But time and time again, students don't know who to go to."
While both nominees quickly accepted their nominations, Sarmiento said his candidacy is not just about the title.
"I'm not in it for the title. I'm here because I care about the students at the University of Kansas," Sarmiento said. "This campus needs a drastic change, and we can provide that. We can speak for everyone and we can voice their concerns. We will run a strong campaign, and we will win."

"I have been exposed to and heard of many offensive, inaccurate, and stereotypical facts spread about the Middle East, that are unfortunately constantly circulated in the media and exaggerated, mislabeled, and could negatively influence viewers who are not familiar with the real Middle Eastern ways of life, and the people," El Kalyoubi said.

"It came down to the fact that we expect this program to rank among the best in the Big 12 Conference, and we have not accomplished that goal." Zenger said in a press release.
In Henrickson's first season at Kansas, the Jayhawks went just 12-16 overall and 5-11 in the Big 12, placing eighth in the conference. Henrickson recorded four seasons with 20 or more wins in her time at Kansas.
Henrickson's best season was 2008-09, when the jayhawks finished 22-14 overall and 6-10 in the Big 12 Conference and made it to the WNIT Championship game, eventually losing to South Florida 75-71 in front of a crowd of 16,113 fans, a Big 12 single-game attendance record for a women's game.
The Jayhawks were 6-12 and finished ninth in the Big 12 Conference this season.
Henrickson was hired in 2004, replacing Marian Washington and interim head coach Lynette Woodard. Prior coming to Kansas, Henrickson coached seven seasons, from 1997-2004, at Virginia Tech.
UN-HER
Henrickson coached 11 Jayhawks who were 1,000-point scorers during their time at Kansas, including current seniors, guard Natalie Knight and forward Chelsea Gardner. Henrickson also coached five players who were drafted to the WNBA, most recently Angel Goodrich, who was the 29th overall pick in the 2013 Draft.
the conference was a three way tie for sixth during the 2011-12 season.
Henrickson's best finish in
In 2012, Henrickson was named the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association Women's College Coach of the Year. In 2005, she was an honorable mention consideration from the Kansas City Star for Big 12 Coach of the Year.
Zenger said Kansas assistant coach Katie O'Connor will serve as interim head coach until a successor is named. A national search will begin immediately, he said.

rance of not trying to be sensitive to African Americans."
Robinson said he believes this type of incident is indicative of a larger national problem.
"I think [society] is going in a way that people are not being educated about each other," he said. "We are not taking the time out to explore different cultures and different people and we're basing one race off of one person. People tend to think African Americans are very similar. No, we're complex people. We're becoming a culture of assuming."
This type of thinking is something Robinson said needs to change on a national level, but especially a University level. Recognizing there is an issue is step one, but reaching out to find solutions is crucial, Robinson said.
"What can the [Interfraternity Council] and Panhellenic do to help the black students?" he said. "I feel like they need to ask us what can they do to make this
doesn't happen. Our members would be vocal about this and tell them how they feel, how some members have tried to gain access to an IFC fraternity and haven't felt comfortable. People ask, 'Why do we need black fraternities and sororites?' This is why. We're not just making this up out of nowhere. This is why we have a BSU. 'Things like this are happening.'
"We're all students, black or white, and we pay to attend this university, not the other way around," he said. "This university needs to do things to help us feel comfortable. We're not asking for anything outrageous. We want to be able to send our children here or our children's children here to this university and let them know you are valued here."
Robinson said it is a university's responsibility to ensure its students feel included and accepted.
The members' suspension and Boren's comments are a step in the right direction, Robinson said, but while he's optimistic some change could come from this, he said he
doubts the conversation will have lasting effects.
"The outcome, I think, will be that we all come together and those in the predominantly white sororities and fraternities will try to comfort the black students at that university," he said. "I try to optimistic, but I do think it'll go back to the same. Once it dies down, it'll go back to the same. I hope their university or ours will keep the conversation going, it'll all die down, but we'll be dealing with something like this in the next few months, it's like a revolving circle."
As an investigation moves forward at Oklahoma, Robinson said there must be consequences for the fraternity members, ranging from suspension from the university to probation with mandatory racial sensitivity education.
"They all need to have consequences. Even if you were on that bus and you didn't agree with what was going on, you needed to have said something," he said. "You know right from wrong."

questions about the revolution, history of World War II, and things like that. It would come with answers that were not correct. And so it was really difficult and almost impossible to work in the 20th century without somehow not accommodating the party lines.
Kansan: Were the differences in education clearer when you came to the United States?
Plokhii: My main surprise when I was visiting the U.S. was access to the library. The fact that you could go to the stacks and see all of the literature was very different from how it was done in the Soviet Union. And so the access to information in terms of the library and information in general was a major surprise for me and was the biggest difference between the Soviet society and the American society.
Kansan: One of the things I thought was interesting having to do with one of the reviews of your book is that you mention that it is widely believed that the U.S. withdrawing support to the Soviet Union led to its collapse, but you say that that's a myth. Why is this?
Plokhii: The widely held belief is that the United States won the Cold War by wiping the Soviet Union from the map of the world and that the collapse of the Soviet Union was the symbol of American triumph and the American policy was directed toward that. But when you look at the sources including the archival sources coming from the George Bush White House, it
If you look at the public pronouncements of the Bush senior administration in the months leading to the fall of the Soviet Union, they were saying that they had had very little influence over what is happening in the Soviet Union. Then after it fell, that changed and the collapse was suddenly named as an American victory. That was a rewrite in history that was very dangerous for its people and its foreign policy
Kansan: You also mention in your book that this has had a negative lasting affect on foreign policy in the U.S. How is this?
is clear that the United States government supported Gorbachev and was in favor of the continued existence of the Soviet Union up until one week before the Ukrainian Referendum. It was then that the U.S. publicly stated support for Ukrainian independence and withdrew support for Gorbachev.
Plokhii: Generally, the U.S. has this belief that they have this enormous power to wipe out countries like the Soviet Union and that the collapse of the Soviet Union was the result of their policy. That serves as a foundation for being a little bit delusional about the world around them and they start to think they are a lot more powerful than they are in reality. This is once again the power of the aforementioned myth. If they choose to believe in it, they make mistakes and overextend.
Kansan: As a Ukrainian, how do you feel about the collapse
of the Soviet Union?
Edited by Valerie Haag
Plokhii: In terms of the political system, there is a lot more freedom in today's Russia than it was in the Soviet Union. In economic terms, it is a difficult time for all of the republics. It was the change of the socialist economy to a market economy, which was extremely painful, but if you look at the data, they have made progress from 1991 and so there is clear progress that has been made both economically and politically, but not everywhere and not in every republic of the former Soviet Union.
Plokhii: The majority of the population voted for independence in Ukraine. If you look at the data over the period of the past 20 to 23 years, the majority of the population never changed. I personally have no regret about the collapse of the Union. I look at it as one of the last of the European empires and the 20th century was the deterioration of those empires.
Kansan: Do you feel that the people that were formerly of the Soviet Union are better off now without the communist government?

Mo. appeals judge appointed to take over Ferguson court
DAVID A. LIEB Associated Press
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A Missouri appeals court judge was appointed Monday to take over Ferguson's municipal court and make "needed reforms" after a highly critical U.S. Department of Justice report that was prompted by the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown.
The Missouri Supreme Court said it is assigning state appeals Judge Roy L. Richter to hear all of Ferguson's pending and future municipal court cases. The high court said Richter also will have the authority to overhaul court policies to ensure defendants' rights are respected and to "restore the integrity of the system."
Ferguson Municipal Judge Ronald J. Brockmeyer resigned Monday, saying through a spokesman that he was stepping down to promote public confidence in the court and help Ferguson "begin its healing process."
The Ferguson City Council met in closed session Monday evening, but members left without taking questions and a city spokesman didn't disclose the purpose of the meeting. Ferguson City Manager John Shaw was escorted to his vehicle by a police officer without fielding questions, and Mayor James Knowles III declined comment to The Associated Press afterward except to say that the city on Tuesday would begin seeking Brockmeyer's permanent successor.
Richter will take charge of the court on March 16. The Supreme Court said it also is assigning staff from the state court administrator's office to aid Richter in reviewing Ferguson's municipal court practices.
"Judge Richter will bring a fresh, disinterested perspective to this court's practices, and he is able and willing to implement needed reforms," Chief Justice Mary Russell said in a written statement.
"Extraordinary action is warranted in Ferguson, but the Court also is examining reforms that are needed on a statewide basis," Russell added.
The change comes after the Justice Department released a report last week that cited cases of racial profiling and bigotry by police and chided what it described as a profit-driven municipal court system in the predominantly black St. Louis suburb where Brown, 18, was shot by a white Ferguson police officer on Aug. 9. The shooting prompted protests in the St. Louis area and across the nation.
A St. Louis County grand jury and the U.S. Justice Department both declined to bring charges against Officer Darren Wilson, who resigned from the department. The Justice Department report said Wilson acted in self-defense when he shot Brown.
But the Justice Department said Ferguson's police and court systems functioned as a money-making enterprise that
heightened tensions among residents.
The federal report noted that Ferguson was counting on revenues from fines and fees to generate $3.1 million, or nearly one-quarter of its total $13.3 million budget for the 2015 fiscal year.

Although it was rare for the court to sentence people to jail as a penalty for city code violations, the Justice Department report said the city's court almost always imposes monetary penalties and then issues arrest warrants when people fail to pay on time or miss a court date. As a result, relatively minor violations can — and frequently do — lead to arrests and jail time, the report said.
The federal report also cited several instances in which Ferguson's municipal judge, court clerk or city prosecutor helped "fix" tickets for colleagues and friends.
The report cited the forgiven tickets for Ferguson officials as evidence of "a double standard grounded in racial stereotyping." It said Ferguson officials displayed "a striking lack of personal responsibility among themselves" while some nonetheless asserted to federal investigators that the city's African-American residents lacked "personal responsibility."
MAIL THARP
Attorney Bert Fulk said in a statement announcing Brockmeyer's resignation that Brockmeyer had been "fair and impartial" as a part-time judge and that the court clerk bore the primary responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the court.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon released a written statement Monday praising the "strong and appropriate actions by the Missouri Supreme Court" to overhaul the Ferguson municipal court.
Monday's appointment of a new Ferguson judge drew mixed reviews among onlookers at that night's council meeting. Derrick Robinson, a protest organizer, said the move was "letting us know they're hearing our cry, and I think it's a good step in reconstructing Ferguson." Meldon Moffitt, of St. Louis, countered that it wouldn't make anything better, and "the only way we can clean up Ferguson is to wipe out the police force, wipe out the courts and wipe out the judges."

Rich irrelevant in fight against poverty
500
John Olson
@JohnOlsonUDK
Opinion columnist John Olson believes that increasing taxes on the rich to help the poor is flawed logic. He said the focus needs to be more on the poor, and less on what can be done to the rich to benefit the poor.
Y You have probably heard the phrase "the rich are getting
richer and the poor are getting poorer." Indeed, according to the Federal Reserve, that is true. But here is the kicker: We should not care about the rich getting richer. In fact, we should not care about the rich at all. Believe me, they are doing just fine.
PIXABAY
Most concern over incomes of the wealthy comes from the notion that the rich must be taxed more to help the poor, an increasingly popular idea among Americans according to Gallup Polls taken in 2013. In my view, this is faulty reasoning. After all, the economy is not a zero-sum game. A zero-sum game means one person's gain is equal another person's loss. In our case, for every winner, there does not necessarily have to be a loser. In fact, when cases of winners and losers are actually evident in economics, the math proves that winners tend to win more than the losers lose. For example, when a country embraces free trade, some of its domestic manufacturers may suffer, but consumers benefit a far greater amount as prices plummet. The lack of a zero-sum game also applies for wealth in an economy.
In other words, wealth does not have to be redistributed.
All that is needed to expand the incomes of the poor is economic growth. The poor today live vastly better lives than the poor did a century ago. This is all thanks to an improving economy that provides new resources to care for the destitute and new assets for the poor to use to improve themselves, according to the World Economic Forum. That being said, the changing definition of poverty should not be used to entirely disregard the poor, as Fox News is apt to do. However, it should be recognized that economic growth improves the lives of the poor and
provides opportunities for the underprivileged to climb the ladder to a more prosperous class, according to economist Lonnie Stevens.
Even if increasing taxes on the rich to help the poor were a valid idea, the evidence shows that such a system is incredibly inefficient. The United States' welfare system collects enough taxes for everyone in poverty to receive roughly $40,000 a year, according to the Congressional Research Service. However, the average impoverished person receives services and payments equivalent to $9,000 a year, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Clearly, the federal
government is spending a great deal of money along the way. If the government manages to waste nearly 80 percent of the money taxed from more privileged Americans to give to the less fortunate, adding more government taxation and services is not the solution to poverty.
The solution, as previously mentioned, is a better economy. But how do we get there? For starters, we need a change of focus. The primary concern should be on the poor, not the rich. Our area of interest should be policies that promote economic growth, not taxes that line the pockets of bureaucrats on the way to the poor.
Our priorities are out of place if we worry about how much the wealthy make when there are more than a billion people in the world who earn less than $1.25 a day, according to a 2011 study by the World Bank. Instead of focusing on the incomes of the most wealthy, we should focus on issues that keep entire nations in the grip of poor economic policy, or laws and institutions that prevent entire classes of people from improving themselves. Only then will the poor get richer, not poorer.

Better etiquette needed in college classrooms
Meg Huwe
@mphuwe
It's 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon. The last place any of us wants to be is sitting in a lecture hall, especially when there's gorgeous weather outside. Having to attend a class so close to the weekend can easily put a damper on anyone's day. Unfortunately,
that's how your schedule worked out and, especially by this point in the year, you should probably just accept it. If you don't want to go to class, then you might as well just skip. But coming to class to take a quiz, then walk out during the middle of the lecture is not only distracting to those students who came to learn, but also incredibly disrespectful to the lecturer.
On average, in-state students are paying $954 per dropped or failed class, while out of-state students pay $2,483, according to materials distributed by the University's Undergraduate Advising Center. It is one
thing to be seriously ill or to have experienced a family trauma, but, "because it's Friday" or "I don't feel like it" are not valid reasons to skip a class.
Another issue arises when people come to class only to discuss the party on Thursday night or some sort of roommate drama. If you want to talk about those things before or after class, please go ahead, but the dull roar of stories from the Hawk does not help those around you learn. If you're not that intent on learning for the day, don't ruin it for those who are.
The most pressing issue
with classroom etiquette is cellphone usage. Sometimes the Twittern sphere is way more intriguing than what the professor is saying. In large lecture halls with hundreds of other students in the hall, it's tempting to check your phone since your teacher can't pinpoint you. That's why not using your phone in class is a matter of personal integrity. It's important to practice now in the classroom because in settings like business meetings, your boss most definitely will not want you checking your phone while he or she is talking. Cellphones are such a
distraction and students should break the habit now while they can. It won't be easy to put your phone away in a professional atmosphere if you can't do it now.
Take a moment to consider how you're behaving in the classroom. Your professor deserves respect, as do your peers. It is also unfair for you to cheat yourself out of learning. Implementing polite habits now, in a less serious setting, will positively impact how you act in your future career.
Dude I'm so psyched for Spring Break!
This year's gonna be wild, what've you got planned?
Let's just say, after all that, I'll be doing a few rounds in the bedroom if you know what I mean.

CROONING AT THE CAPITOL
Men's Glee Club performs as part of concert series at Kansas Statehouse
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Thirty-three men of the University's Men's Glee Club will perform the Alma Mater, National Anthem and KU fight songs for the Kansas Legislature as part of the "KU at the Capitol Concert Series" today at noon. The semester-long series is sponsored by Reach Out Kansas, a program that supports and hosts concerts and musical events in the state. The Glee Club is one of six University music programs scheduled to perform.
Director Christopher Smith, who is working on his Doctor of Musical Arts degree in choral conducting, said the group is thrilled to have the opportunity.
VINCENT WASHINGTON
"I think it's an honor," Smith said. "The dean of music sent an email saying we have a donor who wants to pay for you guys to go sing in the State Capitol, and he said to me they'd like to see the Men's Glee [Club]."
BEN BRODSKY/KANSAN
The Men's Glee Club, founded in 1809, is the oldest choral group at the University. Nathan Dame, associate director and first-year Ph.D student, said the group has a rich history.
"Being a glee club, we're more about the tradition and sharing the fight songs, not just doing normal male choir music," Dame said. "We're having fun while doing it. It's a good mix between what people would think of as a traditional choir and also fun traditions. There's just a kind of brotherhood that goes along with being in a male choir."
"It was one of those things where I was always in choir in
high school and I had wanted to be part of something with that camaraderie of a men's choir." Dame said. "It's just really fun to be a part of."
Dame was the president of the club when he completed his undergraduate studies at the University in 2007. When he returned for his graduate work, he said he knew exactly where he wanted to spend his time.
Smith said the majority of the men in the choir are nonmusic major freshmen who used to sing in high school.
KU Men's Glee Club Director Christopher Smith conducts the club during a rehearsal on March 5 in Murphy Hall. The Glee Club will perform today at the Kansas Capitol as a part of a semester-long concert series by Reach Out Kansas.
"They're overachievers," Smith said. "They're a really challenging group of young guys. They come from all over the campus. We try to target the underclassmen, nonmusic majors because we want that diversity. I talk to them about what Glee is and that our concert works are not as heavy as those at other choirs. We do stuff that's more fun, but it's not all fluffy."
Smith said the opportunity to work with the Glee Club and the members' range of voices is a privilege.
"There's something really special and unique about putting together different voices from people from different backgrounds around the country and the world," Smith said. "There's something about putting those voices together to make a beautiful whole, because the human voice is a part of us. It isn't an instrument you play."
Justin Kline, a freshman from Overland Park, said he joined the club on a whim, looking for something fun to do, but never expected the opportunities the club has given him.
"The first home basketball game of the semester, we sang the Alma Mater and National Anthem at Allen Fieldhouse," he said. "To just jump right on board as a freshman is awesome. KU Men's Glee is doing nothing but growing and expanding."
Working with the human voice is something Smith said he's always had a passion for because it is like no other instrument. He has been working with different types of choirs since he was 17 years old, so he said directing Glee Club came naturally.
Placement auditions take place at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. If you are interesting in joining Men's Glee, contact Christopher Smith at christophersmith@ku.edu
christophersmith@ku.edu
Upcoming performances at the Statehouse include:
KU Brass Ensemble,
Steve Leisring, director
Wednesday, April 1
KU Horn Choir, Paul Stevens, director Wednesday, April 29
TOMMY BENNINGTON
KU Trombone Choir,
Michael Davidson, director
Thursday, May 7
"To be able to put that together in a chair is a really special experience," he said. "To work with them day-in and day-out is a reward. It's a special thing."
Singing at the Capitol is something Dame said doesn't happen often, and it is important to showcase what the University music program offers. Dame said supporting the University as a whole at the Capitol is important.
KU Men's Glee Club Associate Director Nathan Dame conducts during rehearsal on March 5 in Murphy Hall. Dame was the president of the club when he was an undergraduate at the University in 2007.
BEN BRODSKY/KANSAN
"For some of these guys, it may be the only time they ever get to do this." Dame said. "There's all sorts of changes going on at the Capitol, and regardless of whatever you
believe, being able to show support for what goes on not just in your own major or your own life but as the University as a whole is very special."

'Chappie' proves a messy, intriguing sci-fi tale
Alex Lamb
@lambcannon
"Chappie" gives a new take on the robot-with-a consciousness story, but in a more compelling way. It showcases the bizarre South African electro-rap group Die Antwoord so much that it feels more like it's "The Die Antwoord Movie" than one prominently featuring them. Not only does their weird aesthetic accompany them, but their songs fill in the soundtrack as well.
Considering that writer/director Neill Blomkamp
With gangs running rampant in Johannesburg, South Africa, the government has begun using a militarized robot police force from a weapons manufacturer. Deon (Dev Patel), the designer of these robots, steals a deactivated one after figuring out how to create a human-like consciousness, intending to test it on his own.
and Die Antwoord are popular representatives of film and music for South Africa, respectively, it makes sense they would team up with a movie that's fittingly idiosyncratic. While the resulting product proves less gozon and satisfying than hoped for such a wild pairing, it certainly leaves a unique impression full of odd charms.
Before he can do so, gangsters Ninja, Yolandi
(Ninja and Yo-landi Visser from Die Antwoord, playing more criminal versions of their usual personas) and Amerika (Jose Pablo Cantillo) kidnap him. Deon can't turn the robots off like they want him to, but offers them his robot (played by Sharlto Copley) instead, and they name him Chappie. Cute like a shy puppy at first, Chappie quickly learns about the world around him, how to express himself and how to act.
abusive dog owner trying to toughen him up, dropping the scared robot off in dangerous areas to fend for himself. This likeness is abundantly clear as Ninja convinces Chappie to join their heist plan after encountering a dead dog and a living one, telling Chappie he has to do what it takes if he wants to be the living dog.
Blomkamp's tackling of social issues through his thoroughly detailed sci-fi vision offers food for thought in his films, but following his debut with apartheid allegory and modern sci-fi classic "District 9", his storytelling ability has been losing steam. His follow-up "Elysium" went far more formulaic with its healthcare disparity narrative, while "Chappie" wanders around in an exploratory, but not so compelling, fashion.
Ninja teaching him how to walk, talk and intimidate like a gangster makes for hilarious silliness, as does Chappie stealing cars for Ninja with the enthusiasm of an energetic dog destroying things around the house in excitement. But there's real sympathy with Chappie as he suffers, Ninja acting like an
Though Blomkamp does get
into thought-provoking ideas with consciousness, he drags some of them out longer than their interest sustains, while a subplot with Hugh Jackman as a designer of a bigger militarized robot is obvious where it is going from the start. And considering how awesome the action scenes were in Blomkamp's previous two films, the action here disappoints. While still enjoyable, it lacks most of the inspired edginess and spectacular violence Blomkamp does so well. Chappie uses throwing stars as his primary weapon, however, and there is a distinct pleasure in that ridiculous concept, just as it's a sweet surprise that a story about a gangsta robot has an emotional heart at its core.

Apple Watch, thinner MacBook unveiled at Spring Forward event
Kelly Cordingley
@kellycordingley
The next big thing Apple unveiled acts as an extension of your heart and mind, giving the consumer the option to wear their watch, phone, activity tracker, calendar and notepad, all of which can be encased in yellow or rose 18-karat-gold with a polished sapphire crystal screen.
The Apple Watch was revealed during Apple's Spring Forward event Monday. There have been no new gadgets in five years and since former CEO Steve Jobs died in 2011. Current CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, said this is a project he has wanted to create since he was 5 years old. According to The International Business Times, the watch has a battery life of 18 hours, but can only make phone calls with an iPhone connection.
That can be yours when it is released April 24, if you're willing to spend upwards of $10,000. The least expensive watch comes in at $349. Some of the "lower-end" watches trade the gold encased-screen for aluminum or stainless steel.
from the event that the watch allows nearly all the capabilities of a phone, but questioned its accessibility.
The watch comes in three different faces, and all have numerous wristbands to switch out. The broadness of what the Apple Watch covers is unlike anything on the market, but this isn't the first
A Wall Street Journal personal technology columnist, Geoffrey Fowler, tweeted

versatile and stylish Smart Watch.
But, if all that isn't enough or you just don't feel like speaking to your wrist, you can always send your mom your heartbeat in real-time to let her know you've survived college midterms.
Along with the Apple Watch, Apple introduced the thinnest MacBook yet. The MacBook has an all-metal enclosure, according to Harpers Bazaar. There's more battery capability and no longer a fan within the laptop whatsoever. The new MacBook starts at $1,299.
Fowler tweeted photos of the new MacBook, saying it's so thin, it could slice cheese.
Researchkit was another announcement at the event. This pulls data from your apps, if you allow it to do so, and shares it with researchers across the world who are working to find cures for diseases. One of the major benefits mentioned was how it tracks a person's gait to look for symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
According to AppleInsider other applications to help detect breast cancer, cardiovascular disease and treat diabetes and asthma have been developed.
It seems the new watch was the big crowd pleaser and drew the expected "ooohs" and "ahhhs," but until preorders are able to be placed April 10, we won't know how popular the watch and all its features are.

High-fashion stylist turns focus to all women with release of new QVC line
JENNIFER SMOLA Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — As Lori Goldstein was beginning her career in the late 1970s, stylists weren't a staple of the fashion industry, home shopping networks didn't exist and a naked and pregnant Demi Moore had yet to bare her belly at checkout counters everywhere from the cover of Vanity Fair.
But for Goldstein decades later: Check, check and check. She spent years as a stylist determining just the right look for subjects of award-winning ad campaigns, chart-topping music videos and iconic magazine covers including Moore's.
Then the Ohio native sought a change.
With her brand, Goldstein hoped to be an authentic fashion guide and give all women — regardless
Launched in 2009, it emphasizes layering. including longer tops with asymmetrical cuts as well as leggings of varying length. LOGO and its line extensions, including a jewelry collection and a line for young girls, bring a variety of colors and textures.
Goldstein focused on offering style to the masses with an original line on home shopping network QVC and last week started a new one-hour weekly show.

I have been a key player in developing innovative therapeutic approaches and training programs that have had a significant impact on individuals and communities. I am committed to continuing my work and sharing my knowledge with others.
of their proximity to a fashion capital — license to express themselves through flattering clothes. Goldstein remembered people complimenting her outfits while growing up in Ohio, but saying they could never pull off her style.
"So many women are afraid to wear things because they don't understand fashion the way I do, or they're scared to," Goldstein said.

Dubbed LOGO by Lori Goldstein, the brand is less about couture and more about creativity.
"There was a whole world out there that wasn't privy to the world that I was in," Goldstein, who continues to work as a stylist and fashion editor-at-large for Elle magazine, said in a phone interview. "I knew that I somehow wanted to tie those two worlds together."
"There's a kind of fire.
There's a passion between the ladies and their Lori."

QVC viewer and LOGO shopper Deborah Bonfanti found there is no cookie-cutter way of wearing Goldstein's clothes.
"It crosses generations," Bonfanti, 53, said. "Lori gives women my age permission to play."

Goldstein, 58, was born in Columbus and moved to Cincinnati when she was 8. She worked for retailer Fred Segal after moving to Los Angeles when she was 18, then moved to New York City in the late 1970s.

Ohio native Lori Goldstein poses for a photograph on Monday at the home shopping network QVC headquarters in West Chester, Pa. Goldstein spent years as a stylist determining the right look for subjects of award-winning ad campaigns, chart-topping music videos and iconic magazine covers. Now she is focused on offering style to the masses with an original line on QVC and she recently started a new weekly show.
Over 35 years Goldstein built her fashion career in New York on her knack for pairing garments and accessories for photo shoots and videos, becoming one of the first stylists in the fashion industry.

"It's not just a connection,"
he said. "There's a kind of fire. There's a passion between the ladies and their Lori."
Goldstein, who recently bought a house in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and returns to Ohio occasionally to visit family, is someone fashion hopefuls in the Midwest can look up to, said Gargi Bhaduri, assistant professor at Kent State University's fashion school.
"People like Lori can, of course, set examples as to how, if you just have the fashion, and you know what you want to do, you can just go out and make your mark," Bhaduri said.

"Regardless of how he got to the rim, he got to the rim and made the basket."

Mason increased his points per game from 5.5 last season to 12.6 this season.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many points per game does Staten average?
A:14.5
THE MORNING BREW
— ESPN
Staten over Mason was right choice for All-Big 12 first team
This weekend, as the Big 12 came to a close, the All-Big 12 first and second teams were announced. Perry Ellis, a junior forward, made the first team, but sophomore guard Frank Mason III was only on the second team. That might come as a shock to some Kansas fans.
Mason improved his points per game, averaging 12.6 points per game this season compared to 5.5 last season. He also improved his average in steals, free-throw percentage (on Saturday he hit the three game-tying free-throws against Oklahoma), and three-pointers.
Juwan Staten, the West Virginia guard who made first team and was named preseason Big 12 Player of the Year, is just as good as any guard this year, but there's no doubt Mason has had an integral role in helping the Jayhawks win games this season.
Nick Couzin
@NCouz
However, I agree with the commit
tee that Staten is the better guard and deserved the first team nod.
When the Big 12 committee, made up of league coaches, chooses who's on the first and second team it looks for who has a great season individually, but it tends to pick veteran players — as it should — such as Ellis, Buddy Hield, an Oklahoma guard and Big 12 Player of the Year, and Staten, a senior.
For one, he has more size than Mason, who is 5-foot-11 and too short to play guard in the NBA right now, but what makes Staten a standout is that he can drive inside and not get blocked, like during the victory against Mountaineers in WVa. Ishbun
THE BREW
Morgantown, W. Va. Jayhawk fans still see Mason struggle when he drives inside.
Staten is in the upper tier of Big 12 guard play for his defensive performance. After his game-winning layup with seconds left in the Kansas-West Virginia matchup last month in Morgantown, Kansas coach Bill Self commended Staten's play.
"Regardless of how he got to the rim, he got to the rim and made the basket," Self said. "Then he's the one who defended Perry on the other
end. What a great hustle play. That's a kid who really wanted to win." When it comes down to it, defense and driving to the rim are the big differences between two guards, and
the
they're why Staten gets the edge over Mason. Staten also leads Mason in most statistical categories this season, averaging 14.5 points per game.
Despite the great season fans have seen from Mason, we still have two more years to see how much more Mason can improve. Staten will be a lottery pick in the NBA Draft in June, so next season the Big 12 will be Mason's to take over.
Moustakas gets two hits for Royals against Brewers
Edited by Emma LeGault
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Mike Moustakas had two hits, including a two-run double, and the Kansas City Royals stayed perfect in Cactus League play with a 5-4 win over the winless Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.
The AL champion Royals are 6-0 and the lone unbeaten team in the majors during the exhibition season. The Brewers and Cubs are the only winless clubs at 0-5.
"Our guys are real focused about what they are doing," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Our guys are real excited about the young kids getting opportunities and it excites the kids when they see the older veterans are excited about what they are doing. It gives everybody a good feeling."
Brewers star Ryan Braun fouled out and lined out, leaving him hitless in five attats this spring.
Moustakas had been 1 for 8 this spring going into the game. Raul Mondesi, son of the former major leaguer by the same game, had two hits and drove in a run for the Royals.
Matt Long and Matt Clark hit solo homers for Milwaukee.
Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson, showing his new curveball for the first time, allowed one hit in two scoreless innings in his first spring start. He's hoping an off-speed pitch will help him be more effective in the major leagues after enjoying dominant success in the minors last year.
"I liked the curveballs. When he missed, he missed
down with them," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "I think it's going to be a nice pitch for him."
Jason Vargas gave up an RBI triple to Martin Maldonado in his first start for the Royals. Maldonado has four hits in seven spring at-bats with regular catcher Jonathan Lucroy still sidelined by an injury.
STARTING TIME
Royals: Coming off a career-best 3.71 ERA last year and a start in the AL pennant-clinching game against Baltimore, Vargas struck out three in two innings.
Brewers: Nelson went 2-9 in 12 starts with Milwaukee last year, but sparkled (10-2, 1.46 ERA) in 16 starts at Triple-A Nashville.
"I threw three curveballs and a couple of changeups and they were good pitches," Nelson said. "The curve is something I've been playing around with since Double-A. I have worked on it enough off a mound to put it into games. But this offseason, I put my mind to working on it and the speed difference will be big for me."
TRAINER'S ROOM
Brewers: Roenicke said Lucroy, who has been out with a right hamstring injury suffered during a running drill in mid-February, could see his first game action by this weekend. Lucroy, who had hamstring problems much of last season but was able to play through it, will get some at-bats — but not run the bases — in some minor league intrasquad games in the middle of the week. ... LHP Dontrelle Willis, who has had
a stiff neck since Saturday, could throw in a minor league game on Thursday. ... 1B Adam Lind is still a few days away with a back issue.
WHO'S ON FIRST?
With still Lind sidelined, Gerardo Parra, who won two Gold Gloves in Arizona but is the fourth outfielder in Milwaukee, has been taking groundballs at first. Roenicke said he might put him there in a game there soon.
"He played over there before and he messes around there all the time so we've been talking about it," Roenicke said. "It's impressive when you watch him in workouts. So we'll see."

Royals: Kansas City is back in Surprise to face the Chicago White Sox. Starter Jeremy Guthrie will make his first Cactus League appearance.

COMMENTARY
Conference strength led Kansas to Big 12 title
Shane Jackson
@jacksonshane3
A all good things must come to end. This is the year it
This is the year it will come to an end. It has to
will come to an end. It has to Everyone associated with Kansas basketball heard the noise as the 2014-15 season began.
This was the year that the beloved conference streak would ultimately come to an end.
Just last week, an improbable comeback on Senior Night over West Virginia helped Kansas win outright in front of thousands of adoring fans in Allen Fieldhouse.
It couldn't be done, they said. The conference was too strong, they said.
Bill Self had the last laugh because the conference strength is exactly what helped Kansas win the Big 12
But let's backtrack to the beginning of the season and the claims that the conference was simply too strong for the Jayhawks to clinch another title.
Before the season, many experts picked Texas to bully Kansas from the top with its super-sized frontcourt. Self even considered the Longhorns the favorite before the season. But Texas finished seventh in the conference.
The veteran-heavy Cyclones, led by Fred Hoiberg, the only coach in the conference within arms reach of reigning king Self, was also supposed to have a shot. Hoiberg's squad lost two consecutive games to Baylor and Kansas State, at a time when it controlled its own destiny to win the conference.
West Virginia saw an 18-point lead vanish against the Jayhawks, without Kansas making a shot beyond the arc. The complete meltdown demoralized the Mountaineers, and ruined any hopes they may have had at a share conference title.
So many teams had a shot, but it was Kansas, again.
but it was Kansas, again. But it was because this conference was so good that the Jayhawks were able to win it in a year in which they weren't that good. A record of 13-5 was good enough to win the Big 12, which is incredible considering how tough the conference is.
Nine of those wins came from the confines of Allen Fieldhouse, which means the recipe to dethrone the Jayhawks is to be perfect at home. No other team, not even Iowa State with Hilton Magic, could be perfect at home.
Kansas won this conference outright with a losing conference road record. No team in the Big 12 had a winning conference record on the road
Had this year been a year in which the Big 12 had just three or four good teams, Kansas may have had the streak snapped. But the depth of the league benefited the less-talented jayhawks.
It was supposed to end this year, they said. It did not.

Jayhawks stay home to take on Chippewas
TRANX WEARDION/KANS'
Infieldier Blair Beck tags out a Utah runner early in Friday's game. Kansas defeated Utah 7-5, beginning the three-game series that ended Sunday.
KYLAN WHITMER
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
@KRWhitmer
The Jayhawks will waste no time getting back to Hoglund Ballpark as they take on the Central Michigan Chippewas today at 3 p.m.
Coming off of a two-game skid to lose the home-opener series to Utah, the Jayhawks (6-10) will look to bounce back and make improvements in a single-game series with the Chippewas (10-5).
Kansas' pitching struggled throughout the Utah series, in which 10 Jayhawk pitchers saw time on the mound. Younger pitchers had to step up in the absence of senior Drew Morovick, who is out with a sore elbow.
"I think for right now it's got to start with starting pitching," said Kansas coach Rich Price. "We need them to go out there and pound the strike zone and let us settle in so we're not playing from behind."
"Obviously he's a guy that we need a lot from." Price said. "Hopefully he'll be able to bounce back and be able to go next week."
The Chippewas have been busy on the road playing at Florida Gulf Coast, Stetson, Texas State and Wichita State. They will come to Lawrence fresh off of their 2-1 series win against the Shockers in Wichita this past weekend.
Kansas junior Hayden Edwards (1-1) will make his fourth start of the season on the mound for the Jayhawks in today's game. He is throwing a 4.50 ERA this season with 12 strikeouts in 14 innings pitched.
IMPACT PLAYERS TO WATCH
Kansas junior Colby Wright comes into the game boasting
a 404 batting average with 21 hits and only two strikeouts. Wright has been spectacular this season at getting on base with a .537 on-base percentage and an NCAA-leading nine times hit by pitch.
Wright led the team with five hits throughout the Utah series, where the team recorded 29 hits total.
"There were a lot of hard hit balls that were out," said Price. "I was actually pleased with the way we swung the bats."
Kansas sophomore Joven Afenir knows all about hard hits becoming outs as he earned the No. 6 spot on Friday's ESPN SportsCenter Top 10 plays with his diving catch in center field. Afenir made an even more impressive catch on Saturday along with a home run on Sunday to make him a player to watch for at the plate as well as on the field.

Last week: 1-1

The jayhawks closed out their season with a loss, but with the Big 12 title locked up outright, there is no other place they belong other than at the top of the list. Coach Bill Self continued to rave about the strength of the league, saying that he believes seven of the ten Big 12 teams deserve to make the NCAA Tournament.
2. OKLAHOMA (21-9, 12-6)
Last week: 1-0
Previous ranking: 2
The Sooners won their lone game of the week, knocking off the Jayhawks on senior night, and they probably would have been on top of the rankings if they hadn't fallen to Iowa State the week before. Coach Lon Kruger said it doesn't really matter who his squad faces in the Big 12 Tournament, because either way the matchup will be tough.

Following Iowa State's victory over the TCU Horned Frogs, coach Fred Hoiberg talked about the momentum his team could build in the Big 12 Tournament as it heads into the NCAA Tournament,
out while one might expect the momentum to carry over. Hoiberg wasn't convinced, and said he wasn't sure about any "direct correlation," although he added that he still found the tournament to be important to the team.

5. WEST VIRGINIA (23-8,
11-7)
Last week: 1-1
Previous ranking: 5
After falling to the Jayhawks
in overtime, the Mountaineers closed out their season with a win against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Coach Bob Huggins complimented his teams play in the face of injury, adding that "it hasn't been just one guy," but rather a team effort to make up for the losses of seniors Juwan Staten and Gary Browne.
6. TEXAS (19-12, 8-10)
Last week: 1-0
Previous ranking: 6
The Longhorns beat the Kansas State Wildcats in their lone matchup, solidifying their spot at sixth in the Big 12. With the team on the bubble headed into postseason play, coach Rick Barnes was asked if he thought the field should be expanded, and he said he likes it "the way it is right now."
7. OKLAHOMA STATE (18-
12, 8-10)
Last week: 1-1
Previous ranking: 8
Having gone 1-1 over the last seven days, the Cowboys jumped over the Wildcats, who again fell below .500. Like many of the other coaches, coach Travis Ford raved about the strength of the league, and he definitely hopes the NCAA Tournament committee agrees, as the Oklahoma State Cowboys are one of the teams on the bubble.
8. KANSAS STATE (15-16,
8-10)
After falling back below the .500 mark, coach Bruce Weber acknowledged that his team held a players' only meeting, which he hopes can spark his club. Weber also acknowledged that sophomore Jevon Thomas will be back for the Big 12 Tournament, which should provide his squad with a pretty big boost going into the game against TCU.
Last week: 0-1
Previous ranking: 7
9. TCU (17-14, 4-14)
Last week: 0-2
Previous ranking: 9
After winning three out of four contests, the Horned Frogs have completely fallen off, losing three games in a row. Coach Trent Johnson held a positive outlook on the Big 12 coaches teleconference, and said many of the losses were to NCAA Tournament teams, which speaks to the depth of the league.
10. TEXAS TECH (13-18,
3-15)
Last week: 0-1
Previous ranking: 10
The Red Raiders were unable to finish off their season with a win, falling to just 3-15 in conference play. Coach Tubby Smith acknowledged the disappointment of this season, but said they were starting over fresh now, and it was "the only attitude you could take" heading into the tournament.

NO H8
LAUREN MUTH/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Members of the Lawrence and Topeka communities came to support the NOH8 campaign yesterday at the Planting Peace Equality House in Topeka. The NOH8 event lasted from 4-8 p.m., with volunteers coming as early as 2:45 p.m. to help set up the event. Interested members of the community had the chance to buy similar t-shirts and face stickers, as well as get their photos taken.
Photographer brings global NOH8 campaign to Topeka Equality House
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
A rainbow-colored home sits across from the self-proclaimed opponents of the LGBT community Westboro Baptist Church. The bright colors speak loudly in an attempt by those who live there to drown out the messages posted across the street.
NOH8, a California-born charitable organization, hosted an open photo shoot inside the Planting Peace's Equality House in Topeka on Tuesday. Equality House promotes a message of love and acceptance, while Westboro Baptist Church posts a sign that reads "F*gs Doom Nations." These messages are what the NOH8 campaign aims to combat.
Adam Bouska, co-founder and celebrity photographer for the NOH8 campaign, said his organization aims to overpower anti-LGBT messages of all sorts across the world. The organization has traveled to 47 states and 15 countries.
"Whether it's Westboro Baptist Church across the street or what, there's things like this that still exist today, and we have to make the most of our voices in a positive way," Bouska said. "That's what's so great about Planting Peace and the Equality House. We've turned a negative into a positive thing. This is a great place to truly bring people together."
The campaign began in 2008 in response to the passage of Proposition 8 banning samex marriage in California. The photographic silent protest depicts groups and individuals with duct tape over their mouths and "NOH8" temporary tattoos symbolizing how their voices have been silenced.
"It's become a social equality thing online the way social media has changed and how people have rallied together online," he said. "It's shown it doesn't take an army to make a statement. It's empowering and inspiring, but it wouldn't be what it was if it weren't for everyday people in our
campaign."
T. Craven, a University Medical Center Master's Degree student from Springfield, Ill., said she wanted to come to the Equality House for years because of the powerful message she felt from it.
"For me, this is part of the whole process of figuring out who I am," Craven said. "I think being more public about it is really so cool."
The organization allows people to share what issues are important to them, something Bouska said makes the campaign alluring to a wide range of individuals.
"People are coming forth to share their stories, and we found a way to bring people together in response to something so negative in a positive way," he said.
Francisco Camargo, a 2007 Washburn University graduate and NOH8 volunteer, said that when he lived in Los Angeles, he had to explain that the Westboro Baptist Church is not representative of all Kansans. His involvement in NOH8
began near the creation of the organization, and he's been on board ever since.
"Topeka is known as the city the Westboro Baptist Church lives in, and I'm like 'Yeah, but not everyone in Kansas is bigoted," Camargo said. "Coming back from a very liberal city is a little bit of a shell shock, but at the same time, it's relieving to see the city has progressed and there's a lot more support for the LGBT community."
Craven said the opportunity to contrast something so hateful and vile is important, especially for the photo shoot.
"I think this is about acceptance and love, not about labels, it goes beyond labels," Craven said. "It's really cool how this house is here and so welcoming and warm, and it really challenges what [Westboro Baptist Church] stands for."

Jameelah Jones, a graduate student from Conyers, Ga., was appointed Student Senate's first Director of Diversity and Inclusion in January. The position was created after an open forum held last semester in the midst of the Ferguson events. At that forum, minority students voiced their concerns about not being heard or supported by the University. Jones' job is to help make the University more welcoming to minority students and represent concerns of underrepresented groups to University administrators.
KANSAN: Now that you've had a month to get your feet wet, what is your main goal as Director of Diversity and Inclusion?
JAMEELAH JONES: I have a two-part goal system. One is implementing cultural competency training for incoming senators so they can do their jobs while
being culturally competent and being aware of groups that they don't identify with. I also want to implement specific things that underrepresented groups are looking to accomplish. For instance, gender neutral bathrooms are something that students who don't identify with

Meet the author of 'Denying the Holocaust'
LILY GRANT
@lilygrant_UDK
Deborah Lipstadt, author of "Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth & Memory" and "The Eichmann Trial," will speak in the Big 12 Room of the Kansas Union tonight at 7 p.m. In addition to authoring several books, Lipstadt is a Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies at Emory University, a consultant to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and was a member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council for two terms, appointed by Bill Clinton in 1994. Students will also be able to meet Lipstadt before her talk in Alcove G of the Union from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. today.
"Denying the Holocaust" explains how people came to deny the events of the Holocaust. She lists the names of several groups and individuals who have publicly denied the Holocaust, and addresses their allegations. Lipstadt states that anti-Semitism is on the rise, and that it shouldn't be disregarded, since it is distorting history and discrediting scholarship in the West.
After publishing "Denying the Holocaust," Lipstadt and her publisher were sued by David Irving for libel because she claimed Irving denied the Holocaust in some of his public statements. Lipstadt and her publisher won the case, "Irving v. Penguin Books & Lipstadt," after it was proved the things Lipstadt wrote were true.
Holocaust and Judaism.
Today, Lipstadt actively fights against anti-Semitism and educates people about the
KANSAN: Why do you think it's important to educate young people about the events of the Holocaust?
DEBORAH LIPSTADT: The worst genocide in history happened not in some remote corner of the world but in the heart of Christian Europe. It was perpetrated by one country with the active support of many other countries and groups of people. Much of the rest of the world knew about it while it was happening. And of course, it was preceded by almost a decade of virulent anti-Semitic actions.
Since then we have had numerous other instances of genocidal-like actions, for example the former Yugoslavia [and] Rwanda. This would suggest we have not learned much from the Holocaust.
Nonetheless, if there is a chance of avoiding repetition of these events they must be studied and understood. One of the things to understand is that well-educated, cultured, sophisticated people are just as capable of doing this as are those who are not any of those things, or whom we in the West dismiss as not being any of these things.
conflict is historically inaccurate. Whatever one thinks of Israel's policies or those of the Palestinians, what is happening there is not a genocide and to call it such is historically wrong.
KANSAN: What do you have to say about the Holocaust being compared to contemporary political conflicts like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
LIPSTAAT: The Holocaust must and should be compared to Rwanda [and] the Armenian genocide. How is it the same or different? But to compare to the Israeli-Palestinian
KANSAN: Since you won the libel suit "Irving v. Penguin Books & Lipstadt," do you think that brought positive publicity to the topics you discuss in "Denying the Holocaust?"
LIPSTADT: Yes, David Irving [and his comments are] hardly paid any attention [now]. When he is quoted [today] he is identified as the man whom the British courts declared to be a Holocaust denier. Hardcore Holocaust denial — no gas chambers, no plan to kill the Jews, it's all made up, etc. — is seen as ludicrous and out of touch with historical reality.
KANSAN: Regarding your lecture tonight, what do you want the biggest takeaway to be?
LIPSTADT: Anti-Semitism is a real threat. It's not another Holocaust in the offing, not at all. But it is dangerous and irrespective of whether you are Jewish or not, you must take it seriously. If you value the multi-cultural, liberal, democratic society in which you live, then note that anti-Semitism is a threat to it. Anti-Semitism is like a weather vane. It predicts which way the winds of tolerance and acceptance are blowing.

"If you want your work to reach a broader audience, you have to be creative in how you format your work and the mediums through which you put your research out there," Tell said. "The app holds promise to reach a wider audience than writing a book or a journal article."
Tell will work on the project with Davis Houck, a communication professor at
"[The murder of Till] certainly has contemporary resonance."
DAVE TELL
University communications
professor
Florida State University, and Christian Spielvogel, a digital humanist who works at Penn State University.
In researching the app, Tell and Houck traveled to the Mississippi Delta in August 2014 and spoke with several people involved in the murder.
Their story, which is presented in the app, includes accounts of the murder and its trials from an FBI agent who worked on the case, as well as from the cousin of Emmett Till who was sleeping in the same bed as Till when the kidnapping occurred.
Tell hopes the multimedia aspect will bring greater awareness to the truth behind the murder.
["Multimedia] has a tremendous value. What the app gives us is distribution," said Tell. "Part of that distribution is getting our story to people who are not sitting in our classes and who will never sit in our classes, but who will walk through the streets of this Mississippi town and who do have
smart phones and who are technologically plugged in."
Tell and Houck will bring their app to high school and junior high students in the Mississippi Delta to learn more about the story of Till's murder. This will be done with the help of a community organizer in the Delta area
"It's really smart [to make] scholarship more accessible to a more digital generation." Houck said. "We've been talking about how to make our work more accessible and how to make it more meaningful. And here is the way to do it."
The misinformation regarding the murder is a key aspect in developing this app, Houck said.
"The problem is, as long as you have a public sharing two very different stories about what happened, the chances for reconciliation between each other just decreases," he said.
One recollection of the murder was published in an issue of Look magazine in 1955, which Tell believes is an incorrect account.
"If there's one thing I want people to know is to read that 'Look' magazine article with an extremely large grain of salt," Tell said.
After the killing of Trayvon Martin in Florida, and Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., many compared Till's death to Martin's and Brown's. One similarity between all three was the role of a convenience store. Tell said these incidents are sometimes referred to as "convenience store murders." "[The murder of Till] certainly has contemporary resonance," said Tell. "I think it's almost inevitable that they're paralleled. Clearly there are a lot of differences in the stories, but I do think the comparison makes some pretty important points about violence."

Mix exercise and vacation with fitness retreats
CONTRIBUITER/ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHERYL MILLER
@KUSheryI
Fitness retreats are a new way to combine vacation and exercise while traveling to locations such as Rio de Janeiro. The retreats are planned around physical activity, with training from fitness experts.
Imagine listening to the sounds of exotic birds as you trek a mile through a rainforest. Imagine meditating on a beach, listening to the sounds of waves gently lapping the shore after finishing your workout for the day. That imagery can be a reality if you choose to book a fitness retreat for your next vacation.
A relatively new concept, fitness retreats are vacations specifically planned around physical activity. Fitness retreats often allow you to take in scenic views, wholesome food and motivation from trained fitness experts. Each retreat offers a different theme. Some are geared only toward physical fitness, while others aim for overall wellness and fitness.
"I think exercising is very important and doing it on vacation is so much more exciting and different than just doing the same things at the Rec in Lawrence," Williams said. "Also, vacation is where you eat the worst, so a little exercise doesn't hurt."
Being active on vacation allows you to further explore areas that you would miss sitting around.
Natalie Williams, a junior from Utah and president of the Adventure Club, advises all students to be active on vacation.
"My favorite part of staying active on vacation is that you get to see a lot more of an area when you are willing to be active," Williams said. "Be prepared in every way for whatever you are doing and make sure that you enjoy the activity if you are committing yourself to a week of it."
Although some retreats are expensive, many websites boast testimonials that these life-changing experiences are well worth it. Here are some examples of fitness retreats you can book today:
Want to attend a Caribbean all-inclusive, week-long boot camp that allows for exploration of both the local rainforest and the beach? Then check out the Jungle Bay Resort and Spa in Dominica. Massages are available to relieve tension from the day's workouts, or simply listen to
In a similar vein, off the coast of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, The Island Experience combines a natural diet, yoga and island hiking and kayaking during a seven-day excursion around the island of Ilha Grande. According to its website, the atmosphere is "cozy, laid back and causal" and the activities allow you to "elevate your physical, mental and spiritual well-being."
the ocean waves outside your cottage.
For a European retreat, visit Camp Biche in France. Nestled in the French countryside, Camp Biche offers personalized fitness programming for each guest. This retreat is completely vegan, offers daily massages or spa treatments and has bilingual instructors.
Perhaps a cruise is more up your alley. The Norwegian Cruise Line was labeled
"Athletics on the High Seas" by Greatist's website. Rock climbing, mini-golf, basketball and fitness centers are onboard all Norwegian Cruise Line ships. In addition, the many destinations include numerous active shore excursions.
If staying in the states is ideal, try the Red Mountain Resort surrounded by the "red rock cliffs and canyons of southern Utah," according to its website. Choose from four retreat options (Red Mountain Essential, New Year New You Essential, Adventures in Zion or Weight Loss & Living Well) that include healthy meals, personal training, various outdoor physical activities and wellness classes. As a bonus, this retreat is also pet-friendly.
No matter where you go,
remember that flexibility
in plans is key for enjoying
"Make a ton of plans and have options of different activities you can do, but if you decide one day to just sit around or go shopping or something, don't beat yourself up," Williams said. "That is what vacation is for."
vacation.
Fitness coach, creator of "Lift, Eat & Be Happy" and co-leader of the fitness and lifestyle Radiance Retreat Neghar Fononoil offers some personal tips for staying active on any vacation.
"I move as much as possible," Fonooni said, noting walking and sightseeing as the easiest ways to do so. She also said she drinks water to combat fatigue.
"I do what I can to nourish my body, no matter where I am in the world, with no judgments or restrictions," Fonooni said.
If you have not planned an active spring break,don't sweat it — you can do plenty of that next vacation when you book a fitness retreat.

It was nine years ago tomorrow that a microburst hit campus and damaged many buildings. About 100 trees were lost, but it barely made a dent in the 29,525 total on campus.

how we want to be portrayed in the media, or here on campus as students at KU as we're trying to obviously better our lives and get an education," she said.
Chavez said she and other HALO members reached out to the executive team Monday night and received a response very similar to the public apology.
"I'm not sure we would have ever gotten an apology if we wouldn't have reached out," she said.
The statement from the Rock Chalk Revue executive team said it had "expressed concerns with the show's directors" before the dress rehearsal and the first live show on March 5. It also said the team had "encouraged the character to quit using a thick accent," and that he did make those changes prior to the second and third shows.
In an email interview with the Kansan, the executive team elaborated.
"The directors decided to lessen the accent the character [used] in hopes of lessening the potential to offend someone, but ultimately, the poncho was still incorporated, which is what might have offended a large group of people," the group wrote. "In hindsight, we should have completely
changed this character, but we failed to take that action."
In order to prevent repeat occurrences in the future, the executives said they believe having open conversations with HALO and the Multicultural Greek Council will help them "come to a solution together." They also plan for sensitivity training with the directors of the shows each year.
Chavez said HALO expects the executives to attend an open meeting at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the classroom of the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center. She said the public is invited to join the discussion.
The Rock Chalk Revue executive team members are: Cameron Smith, executive producer; Haley Lynn and Paul McArdle, executive directors; Sarah Vanlandingham, sales manager; and Justin Ruffalo, business manager.

JONES FROM PAGE 1
you ask any student why they stay at any University, it's not because of classes, it's "I can't leave my roommate" or "I'm in such-and-such club or Panhellenic." It's the community. I think the greatest thing the University can do is to focus on fostering a community for everyone.
KANSAN: Is there something that you can do in your position to help with minority retention?
For example, there are so few African American students here. That community might not come naturally because on such a large campus I may not interact with you as often as I should. Just numbers-wise, I'm less likely to run into someone who looks like me. I think the University can work to establish connections between underrepresented groups so that they feel they belong and have a home here. They want to go home because they don't feel at home here.
KANSAN: Do a lot of minority students and groups come to you with their issues?
JONES: My position can help by fostering collaborative efforts between student groups. If you have the Black Student Union and the Hispanic American Leadership Organization that have the same issues on campus, but they need a community to bounce ideas off each other and connect with each other on professional and personal levels, that's something that I can create with my job. What they don't know is they are both coming to me with the same things, and I can put them in contact with someone who may be able to identify with them. That is something that I can do to help foster that community between minority students.
JONES: Oh yeah. My office is like a revolving door and I like it that way because I was worried about how the reception of the position would be. But it's been so welcoming in that students have come to me so often
with all of these concerns. So I'm able to really find out what the needs are because students are so open and willing to talk about the struggles that they face and that's a real brave thing to do when you think about it. So my office stays full.
KANSAN: After students come to you with concerns, what is your job to do with that information?
JONES: My first job is to write it down. Students need to see that you are going to do more than just listen, even though listening is very valuable and powerful and there needs to be a space for that. But I also keep a running list of concerns and overlapping student concerns so that I can then take those concerns to administration and say that this is not just one student with this issue and this is not just one group that feels alienated. My job is to be able to take that information and find concrete solutions for it, in addition to making students feel like my office is a safe space for them to speak about it.
KANSAN: Last semester during the blackout week protests and open forum, a lot of minority students were tweeting their concerns at the University using the hashtag #RockChalk-InvisibleHawk. What would you tell a minority student who feels invisible at KU and want to transfer?
JONES: I would tell them that we need them. Period. It's unfair of me to ask you to stay in a space that you don't feel is addressing your needs and makes you feel invisible, but I'm asking you to not give up on the University. Because there are people here whose mission it is to make sure that you don't feel that way. My office hours are here but I have people hours because I am a real person, so if I need to come to that student I am more than happy to do that. And if I have to walk you to whatever office is necessary to assist you then I'll do that. Hold me to that.

COURT STORMING

Court storming helps strengthen team spirit
Matthew Clough
@mcloughsofly
W with basketball season nearing its close and the NCAA Tournament just on the horizon, the court-storming tradition is fresh in the minds of sports fanatics everywhere. A hallmark of major upsets, court storming is a valuable tradition in the realm of basketball that brings fans together.
Court storming has drawn hefty criticism, particularly in the Lawrence area. After Kansas lost on Feb. 23 in the Sunflower Showdown, Kansas State fans stormed the Bramlage Coliseum court.
While the Kansas State court storming jeopardized a safe environment for Kansas, incidents such as this one can easily be avoided by proper management. Usually the security officials are able to maintain the crowd and ensure the safety of the opposing team while letting the fans have their fun. Take the Maryland court storming over Wisconsin the following day for instance.
The players on each team were able to shake hands without being trampled by the crowd, and the Wisconsin team left the arena safely. The issue lies not in court storming itself, but in the strength
of security.
College basketball is all about school spirit and the sense of unity a student body can generate while rallying behind their team is a special force. Court storming is a large part of that school experience. It's a chance for fans to celebrate with their team and fellow classmates in a closer, personal space on usually forbidden ground. Storming the court is a tradition that gets people on their feet and excited about their school in a unique way.
"COURT STORMING IS A VALUABLE TRADITION IN THE REALM OF BASKETBALL THAT BRINGS FANS TOGETHER."
Matthew Clough is a sophomore from Wichita studying English and journalism
Particularly if you're a Kansas basketball fan, court storming should be something you embrace rather than criticize. When the Jayhawks lose to a lower-ranked team on the road, the opposing team's fans will often rush the court. This is simply because they beat a formidable opponent and are celebrating an unlikely win. For Kansas, the tradition is one that testifies to the basketball program's dominance, and should be viewed as a compliment.
Re-evaluate views on college court storming
Maddy Mikinski
@Miss Maddy
My family constantly jokes about the 2008 Orange Bowl. During the first quarter of the game, KU cornerback Aqib Talib was penalized for high-stepping into the end zone. We were shocked and amused that something that trivial would be considered a punishable offense. A little celebration seemed excusable. After all, it was the Orange Bowl.
A tew weeks ago, I was reminded of Talib's high step when I watched K-State fans storming their court after the Sunflower Showdown, pushing local legend Bill Self into a scorers' table. Only this time, I was less willing to excuse the celebration.
"IF HIGH STEPPING IN THE END ZONE RESULTS IN A PENALTY, WHY DOESN'T COURT STORMING?"
K-State student Nathan Powers' citation for misconduct after he shoved Jamari Traylor during the storming is
an example of the needless chaos that can accompany the mad rush. The game has started a national debate about whether or not storming should still be allowed.
The issue of court storming should be combated, not with sarcastic videos, but with an actual dialogue and a set of rules laid out. There are two easy solutions to the issue of court storming: either don't allow it at all, or make rules to ensure that player and staff safety isn't jeopardized.
Most of the danger at K-State stemmed from the fact that the players and personnel had not been removed from the court prior to the storming. Losing team members should be cleared from the court or field before any rabid Wildcats are allowed onto it.
Celebrating a win is perfectly fine, but fans need to either contain that energy or wait, per regulation, until all members of the opposing team are off the court before storming it.
The NCAA and sports fans need to realize that court storming can be dangerous if proper rules aren't in place to prevent misconduct. Unlike Talib, whose single-person celebration didn't lead to a head coach being pressed up against a table, court storming has the ability to do damage.
If high stepping in the end zone results in a penalty, why doesn't court storming?
Universities should implement rules and additional security for court storming so players, coaches and spectators can enjoy a game without worrying for their safety.

Social media causes problems in relationships
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritzz
There are things on a college campus that are basically
unavoidable. Two of those are social media and relationships. Our generation has a habit of integrating its feelings and relationships with our social media accounts. To base self-worth and trust off of social media sites negatively distorts people's relationships. "Relationship goal" pictures and making your significant other your "crush of the day" do not
determine the success of a relationship - the individuals involved do.
The main issue with social media and relationships is that the two are starting to have a direct correlation to each other. Social media is now a breeding ground for distrust in relationships.
If your significant other has hundreds of Twitter followers, and many of them are the opposite sex, getting jealous over something as trivial as having a social media account is suddenly not so far-fetched. So much weight is placed on favorites, retweets, likes and comments. For some people, a mere favorite on a tweet has the power to be interpreted as flirting. This can lead to worrisome thoughts by one partner and cause unnecessary strain on a relationship.
Insecurities brought forth by these apps stem from
people comparing their own personal failures to others' ultimate highs. Our generation has started to compare our backstage scenes to our peers' highlight reels. Because of this, people may seem more appealing and attractive than the person you are currently romantic with. In a relationship, you're aware of your significant other's good and bad qualities. In contrast, the extent of your knowledge of a person who favorites your tweets and likes your Instagram pictures only goes as far as what they choose to share.

Senior Jessica Allison from Paola is one of the first Human Sexuality majors at the University. Also majoring in psychology. Allison will finish her last semester of classes for the new major next fall when it is officially available.

Learning about the birds and the bees was never awkward for Jessica Allison.
Allison, a senior from Paola, will be one of the first students to graduate from the University with a major in human sexuality this fall. Her goal is to become a sex therapist.
"[Sex is] just something I've always been comfortable talking about," she said.
Allison said her mother was always open about sex and sexuality and was "a huge motivation" in her decision of what to study. Her mother, Cindy, died in May 2012 when Allison was a senior at Paola High School.
"When she was alive, she was already telling people, 'My daughter's going to be a sex therapist,'" Allison said. "My mom was very proud of this and, I think, would still be very proud of this."
As a kid, Allison's first chapter books were Harlequin romance novels. Her mother warned her that the idealized ways love and sex are portrayed in those books are purely fiction, and not like real life.
"That sparked something in me — why can't it be both?" Allison said. "Why can't couples have a huge amount of love and good chemistry?"
She decided she wanted to fix that, and a career path was born. But as a sex therapist, Allison said she wants her work to go beyond just helping couples.
One of Allison's biggest concerns as an aspiring therapist, she said, is making sure people feel accepted. She said she would never try to label anyone.
"My practice, if I get one, I hope to be a completely safe and open place for [people] to experiment [and] talk about what they're experimenting with, because I feel like you don't find that very often," she
"If an individual is upset or not feeling comfortable in their own skin about their sexuality, or just needs someone to talk to, I can help," she said.
said.
Until that time comes, she works at Cirilla's as a sales clerk, a job she said is "so awesome."
"Having couples ask me what would help enhance their bedroom performance, that's exactly what I love," she said.
Allison said her family members have been very supportive of her career plans, even if some of them are slightly "weirded out" at times.
"My dad's still trying to understand what it is I'm going to be doing." Allison said. "it's sometimes hard for him, I think, to see his little daughter working at Cirillas'."
She said she receives mixed reactions when she meets new people and discusses her major.
"I'm not embarrassed to tell people about my major because I feel like a discourse on sex needs to happen in order for it to stop being so taboo," Allison said. "I just don't like people assuming things about me. It just irritates me, especially if they're trying to pick me up at a bar."
The human sexuality major will officially be available in the Fall 2015 semester. Allison plans to declare it and finish her last semester of classes. She is considering graduate school, but may take some time off first.
Katie Rockey, senior academic adviser for the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies majors and minors, said there are about 10 students she knows of who plan to graduate with the human sexuality major in the spring.
She said especially with the KU core, the human sexuality major has opened up a lot of elective hours for students, so it is a great complement for any of their majors that these students are already pursuing.
Rockey said there are many career possibilities for human sexuality majors. Some specific ones she has heard from students include working for government or nonprofit organizations, such as domestic violence shelters
or the Douglas County AIDS Project.
"There's a lot of variety in the major," she said. "It's an interdisciplinary major... so students pursuing this major really get exposure from a variety of departments and faculty members to really make this a comprehensive degree."
Rockey said the department's website has not been updated to include the new major's requirements, but it will be soon. Students with questions can reference the website or contact people in
the department.
"This abstinence-only stuff we've got really needs to stop," she said. "It's not effective, and I actually think it's causing more problems than it is anything."
Although Kansas does not technically require abstinence-only education in public schools, Allison said she believes the sex education in the state is insufficient.
She also said she believes it's important for kids to learn
about healthy relationships, whether or not sex is involved, especially with the influence of modern media such as "Fifty Shades of Grey."
"If kids aren't taught [about healthy sex] and then they see something like ["Fifty Shades of Grey"] on screen and they think that's an example of an OK relationship. That's all they have to base their knowledge off of," she said.
For Allison, that simply won't do.

Jury finds Pharrell, Thicke copied 'Blurred Lines'
Associated Press
ANTHONY MCCARTNEY
ALEXANDRA WILSON
LOS ANGELES — A jury awarded Marvin Gaye's children nearly $7.4 million Tuesday after determining singers Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams copied their father's music to create "Blurred Lines," the biggest hit song of 2013.
Gaye's daughter Nona Gaye wept as the verdict was read and was hugged by her attorney.
NICK UT/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Attorney Mark Levinsohn, far left, walks with the late singer Marvin Gaye's family members, from left, daughter, Nona Gaye, ex-wife, Jan Gaye, and son, Frankie Gaye, outside the Los Angeles U.S. District Court after a jury awarded his children nearly $7.4 million after determining singers Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams copied their father's music to create "Blurred Lines," yesterday.
"Right now, I feel free," she said outside court. "Free from ... Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke's chains and what they tried to keep on us and the lies that were told."
He and Thicke are "undoubtedly disappointed," said their lead attorney, Howard King.
"They're unwavering in their absolute conviction that they wrote this song independently," he said.
Thicke and Williams earned more than $7 million apiece on the song, according to testimony.
King has said a decision in favor of Gaye's heirs could have a chilling effect on musicians who try to emulate an era or another artist's sound.
Larry Iser, an intellectual property attorney who has represented numerous musicians in copyright cases,
was critical of the outcome.
"Unfortunately, today's jury verdict has blurred the lines between protectable elements of a musical composition and the unprotectable musical style or groove exemplified by Marvin Gaye," Iser said. "Although Gaye was the Prince of Soul, he didn't own a copyright to the genre, and Thicke and Williams' homage to the feel of Marvin Gaye is not infringing."
Gaye's children — Nona, Frankie and Marvin Gaye III — sued the two singers in 2013.
Their lawyer, Richard Busch, branded Williams and Thicke liars who went beyond trying to emulate the sound of Gaye's late-1970s music and copied the R&B legend's hit "Got to Give It Up" outright.
Thicke told jurors he didn't write "Blurred Lines," which Williams testified he crafted in about an hour in mid-2012.
"Blurred Lines" has sold more than 7.3 million copies in the U.S. alone, according to Nielsen SoundScan figures, and earned a Grammy nomination.
Williams testified that Gaye's music was part of the soundtrack of his youth. But the seven-time Grammy winner said he didn't use any of it to create "Blurred Lines."
The case was a struggle between two of music's biggest names: Williams has sold more than 100 million records worldwide during his career as a singer-producer, and Gaye performed hits such as "Sexual Healing" and "How
sweet It Is (To be Loved by You)" remain popular.
During closing arguments, Busch accused Thicke and Williams of lying about how the song was created. He told jurors they could award Gaye's children millions of dollars if they determined the copyright of "Got to Give It Up" was infringed.
King denied there were any big similarities between "Blurred Lines" and the sheet music Gaye submitted to obtain copyright protection.
Williams has become a household name — known simply as Pharrell — thanks to his hit song "Happy" and his work as a judge on the "The
Voice." He wrote the majority of "Blurred Lines" and recorded it in one night with Thicke. A segment by rapper TI. was added later.
Williams, 41, also signed a document stating he didn't use any other artists' work in the music and would be responsible if a successful copyright claim was raised.
Jurors repeatedly heard the upbeat song "Blurred Lines" and saw snippets of its music video, but Gaye's music was represented during the trial in a less polished form. Jurors did not hear "Got to Give It Up" as Gaye recorded it, but rather a version created based solely on sheet music submitted to
gain copyright protection.
That version lacked many of the elements — including Gaye's voice — that helped make the song a hit in 1977. Busch called the version used in court a "Frankenstein-like monster" that didn't accurately represent Gaye's work.
An expert for the Gaye family said there were eight distinct elements from "Got to Give It Up" that were used in "Blurred Lines," but an expert for Williams and Thicke denied those similarities existed.
Gaye died in April 1984, leaving his children the copyrights to his music.

Oklahoma fraternity forced to close, two students expelled for viral video
The prep school's president, Mike Earsing, also released a statement saying, "I am appalled by the actions in the video and extremely hurt by the pain this has caused our community. It is unconscionable and very sad that in 2015 we still live in a society where this type of bigotry and racism takes place."
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter at the University of Oklahoma is the latest Greek organization in the middle of a controversy this week. A video circulating around social media this past weekend depicted members of the fraternity chanting racist remarks including: "There will never be a [expletive] in SAE," and "You can hang them from a tree, but they'll never sign with me."
A spokesman for Jesuit College Preparatory School in Dallas identified 19-year-old Parker Rice as one of the students singing the chant. Rice was a graduate of the Catholic prep school.
Both OU's president and SAE's national president issued the immediate close of the chapter and members were ordered to move out by midnight on Sunday.
Students at OU have taken a stand against the fraternity as well. They came together for a silent protest, marching around campus with duct tape over their mouths with "Unheard" written on it. Students also covered the dean of student affairs' door with Post-It notes with sayings such as, "Why am I hated on my own campus?"
OU's president, David Boren, issued a statement that said, "To those who have misused their free speech in such a reprehensible way, I have a message for you. You are disgraceful. You have violated all that we stand for." His full statement can be found on the The Oklahoma Daily website.
The SAE chapter at the University of Kansas also issued a statement on their Facebook page in response to the viral video, saying they are "extremely shocked" by it.
Thousands have taken to Twitter with their anger and distaste for the incident, as well as to praise ofOU's swift response and punishment.
While the scandal is detrimental to the university, the administration's prompt effort to address the situation and recognition that racism is still a national problem could show potential for progress.
Edited by Vicky Diaz Camacho
As of Tuesday, two students who appeared to have led the chant have been expelled from the University of Oklahoma, according to Boren's Twitter account. In a recent statement, Boren also said that the university would continue to investigate other students involved in the video and chant.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who will win the Big 12 Tournament?
Sean Collins
@Seanzie 3
OKLAHOMA
As far as March Madness goes, it's next to impossible to select who is going to be champion in April, but the biggest factor to look at is momentum. The Oklahoma Sooners will be going into the tournament fresh off a win against the top-ranked Jayhawks in the Big 12 so confidence will be at a high.
The Sooners have won four of their last five, dropping a game against the Iowa State Cyclones 77-70. However, the Sooners beat the Cyclones in Norman back in February 94-83, showing they are capable of handling any of the top teams in the conference.
With previous national champions, it's obvious that having momentum going into a tournament is huge. The best example in recent years is the 2011 Connecticut Huskies team. Led by their star guard Kemba Walker, the Huskies won five games in a row to take the Big East Championship. This streak gave them the momentum to win six more games straight and win the national title. If Oklahoma can build more momentum in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament, they have the firepower to
make it all the way through the tournament.
Not only will the Sooners will be carrying momentum after their win against the Jayhawks, but they will also have a first-round matchup against Oklahoma State, who they swept during conference play. Other teams will have a much tougher first-round game with the exception of Kansas (who will either play TCU or Kansas State).
Iowa State could end up playing the Texas Longhorns in the second round. While the Longhorns are the No. 7 seed, they are not to be messed with. With big men Jonathan Holmes, Myles Turner and Cameron Ridley, they pose a great threat in the post to any team in the Big 12. The Longhorns are my dark horse for the champion if they catch fire.
If Kansas had a full and healthy roster, the Jayhawks would by my favorite for the championship, but injuries and suspension could hold them back. After the first round the Jayhawks would either be matched up with Baylor or West Virginia (both have beaten the Jayhawks). If junior forward Perry Ellis isn't healthy by that time, they may have some trouble, especially with the absence of freshman forward Cliff Alexander.
playmaker who can score in the late minutes of the game. Oklahoma player Buddy Hield may be the best Big 12 junior guard. Hield recently won Big 12 Player of the Year.
"IF KANSAS HAD A FULL AND HEALTHY ROSTER, THE JAYHAWKSWOULD BY MY FAVORITE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP, BUT INJURIES AND SUSPENSION COULD HOLD THEM BACK."
Another big factor that comes into tournament play is having a big-time
honors, averaging 17.4 points. 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Hield comes up big time in games against strong opponents. In the Sooners' last game against the Jayhawks, Hield had 18 points, and in the previous game dropped 26 points against the Cyclones. If Hield catches fire during the tournament, the Sooners will be tough to stop.

BAYLOR
After enduring the grind of one of the best conference seasons in recent memory, the Big 12 teams will head to Kansas City, Mo., this week to compete in the Big 12 Tournament, or as it is known in Lawrence, a glorified warmup to the NCAA Tournament.
What makes this year's Big 12 Tournament so special is the presence of five teams equally capable of winning the tournament. Baylor, West Virginia, Iowa State, Oklahoma and Kansas all have legitimate reasons to believe that they can win in Kansas City.
"KANSAS FANS MIGHT NOT WANT TO HEAR IT, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE. BAYLOR HAS A SOLID CHANCE TO WIN THE BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2015."
However, the Big 12 Tournament is all about which team can get hot and go on a three- or four-game winning streak. In the 2015 Big 12 Tournament, that team will be the Baylor Bears (23-8, 11-7 Big 12).
Baylor finished the conference season strong, winning five of their last six games. Their only loss during that run was on the road at Texas, where they lost 61-59 in overtime. The Bears also swept West Virginia and Iowa State during the conference season, a feat the Jayhawks were unable to accomplish.
Baylor also boasts one of the best players in the entire country. Junior forward Rico Gathers, who was named to the All-Big 12 First Team by both the conference coaches and the Associated Press, is an absolute animal. He averages 11.6 points and 11.7 rebounds per game. Gathers is also one of the best offensive rebounders in the conference, covering offensive boards with an intense 19 percent offensive rebounding percentage. He has gathered 83 total offensive rebounds in conference play.
In addition to Gathers, Baylor has two other star players in its starting lineup. Senior point guard Kenny Chery and junior forward Taurean Prince were both named to the All-Big 12 Second Team by the conference coaches. Chery
averages 11 points, three rebounds and four assists-per-game for the Bears, while Prince averages 14 points and 5.5 rebounds-per game playing next to Gathers.
Now we come to everyone's favorite Big 12 coach, Scott Drew. Despite being (sometimes fairly) ridiculed for poorly managing end-of-game situations, and seemingly unable to hold leads, Drew had a very good season. After being projected to finish in sixth place in the conference last October, Drew guided the Bears to a fourth-place finish in the conference while winning 11 Big 12 games. In one of the toughest conferences in college basketball, that is impressive.
Baylor is perfect for winning a tournament like this. Last year, the Bears even made it to the Big 12 Championship game before losing to Iowa State. Drew has also had some postseason success, leading Baylor into two Elite Eights and an NIT Championship during his career.
Baylor will have to go through West Virginia, and likely Kansas, in order to earn a spot in the Big 12 Championship game. Kansas fans might not want to hear it, but it is possible. Baylor has a solid chance to win the Big 12 Championship in 2015.

Royals fall 6-2 in first loss of spring training
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Micah Johnson went 4 for 4, scored two runs and drove in one as the White Sox handed the Royals their first loss this spring after six wins.
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Jeremy Guthrie, the starting and losing pitcher in Game 7 of the World Series, got off to rough spring debut Tuesday and the Kansas City Royals lost to the Chicago White Sox 6-2.
Guthrie yielded three runs on four hits and a hit batter in the first inning, but retired the last four batters he faced.
"This one was a little more relaxed," Guthrie said than his final World Series start. "The crowd wasn't too scary here, not too much pressure."
Guthrie had a modest goal for his debut.
"I wanted to throw a fastball harder than 91 (mph)," he said.
"That's what I was hoping for. You disappear for five months and come back and hope the arm goes as fast as before. I had the arm strength up and located pitches."
"It was challenging, the World Series runner-ups, my first start in spring training. I like the competition."
TYLER DANISH
White Sox pitcher
Guthrie said he reached his goal.
Guthrie noted he lit up radar guns with speeds of 147 to 149 in November, while touring Japan with a major league All-Star team.
"I did. I peeked up at the board." he said.
"That's kilometers," he said and smiled.
Johnson has six straight hits, including a tying, ninthinning homer Monday against Arizona, to raise his average to 500.
Jose Abreu, the 2014 AL Rookie of the Year, contributed two hits, drove in a run and scored a run.
Jarrod Dyson led off the Royals first with a homer against Tyler Danish, a highly touted White Sox prospect. Danish, 20, permitted two runs on three hits in 21-3 innings.
"That was definitely big for me to see what I saw live today," Danish said. "It was challenging, the World Series runner-ups, my first start in spring training. I like the competition. I'm glad I got to do it against them."

COMMENTARY
Big 12 Tournament is still wide open
This season, the Big 12 conference features the most competitive basketball in the country.
Evan Riggs
@EvanRiggs15
basketball in the country. The conference boasts the nation's top cumulative RPI, and five of its teams are ranked in the latest AP top 20 poll. With so many teams capable of winning the tournament, there is very little margin for error.
You could make a case that there are seven or eight teams that could win the tournament if they get hot," Kansas coach Bill Self told CBS DFW. "I don't think there are any other leagues in America with that type of balance"
In a conference where seemingly every game came down to the last minute, even the typically boring opening night should be exciting.
Texas, who was a preseason favorite to win the conference and a top-five team at one point, is relegated to playing on opening night. They will square off with Texas Tech, and Kansas State will face TCU.
Every team in the Big 12 has succeeded some this year Kansas State and Texas Tech are at the bottom of the conference standings, but they both have great conference wins. Kansas State knocked off Kansas, and Texas Tech defeated Iowa State.
Kansas has won 11 straight conference titles, but the Big 12 Tournament has seen much more parity in that same stretch. The Jayhawks have won the tournament six times, and there has been a different winner each of the last three seasons.
Baylor and West Virginia are both very capable of winning the tournament, and they are matched up in the quarterfinals as the fourth and fifth seed. Oklahoma State has two of the conference's top five scorers in Le'Bryan Nash and Phil Forte III.
The top six teams in the conference have very little margin for error, which should lead to a wild conference tournament.
It's unlikely that either team will win the conference tournament, but there are a lot of teams that can. In the final league standings, just two games separate the first through fifth place finishers in league play.
The layhawks are the No. 1 seed, and they proved last Saturday in Norman, Okla., that they can compete even if Perry Ellis is sidelineled. Oklahoma has a lot of momentum from that win heading into the tournament, and they are led by the conference's player of the year, Buddy Hield.

Kansas drops another game at home

The Kansas offense struggled against Central Michigan, and the Jayhawks recorded only six hits in the 8-2 loss to the Chippewas. Kansas coach Ritch Price said he didn't expect for Kansas to struggle like this.
"I'm as disappointed as I've ever been in my entire coaching career with the start that we've had," Price said. "One thing I just told our guys though is we're not going to quit, we're going to keep grinding, and see if we can figure it out and turn it around."
Kansas tied for its third worst hitting performance of the season on Tuesday. Price said this is very unlike his veteran offensive team. For instance, Price said senior outfielder Dakota Smith hit .388 batting average last season, and is hitting a career-low.153.
O
"You talk about quality at-bats, and the importance of taking the fastball away, and then working the counts and getting balls elevated in the strike zone," Price said. "We'll sit down with the video, and let them see for themselves. Keep trying to put some confidence in there so they can keep on getting better and have better at-bats, because if they don't hit we're not going to score."
The Jayhawks didn't have a base runner until the third inning, when they had two runners in scoring position. Central Michigan pitcher Adam Aldred, who went 5.1 innings and gave up one earned run, struck out the last two Kansas batters to finish the third.
After losing its 11th game of the season, and the third home game of the season. Price said he is disappointed
in the way the team has performed. He said Kansas needs to stop making costly mistakes.
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
Two of the miscues came from senior outfielder Connor McKay. When the Jayhawks were in striking distance, and McKay was on third in the bottom of the second. The biggest difference maker was when senior first baseman Blair Beck fled out to left field, McKay missed the timing on the tag, and CMU threw McKay out at third.
BEN LIPPUTWITZ/KANSAN Junior pitcher Hayden Edwards attempts to throw out the base runner on first base in the game against Central Michigan on Tuesday. The Jayhawks fell to the Chippewas for their third home loss of the season.
"He just made a really bad base-running play," Price said. "One of the things we talked about down the line was in professional or college baseball you make sure the catch is made before you run, and if they throw you out at home you tip your cap to the guy."
The following inning, McKay misplayed a fly ball in left field and dropped it — the runner eventually scored and CMU took a 5-0 lead. McKay said he was still disappointed about the base running error and wasn't thinking in the outfield.
"I just got crossed up," McKay said. "It was one of those things where I was still kind of dwelling on the play before, the base running error at third. You can't play baseball like that. I got to leave it in the dugout, grab my glove, head back out there and play good defense."
After Central Michigan gained the lead, the
The Chippewas took a 2-0 lead in the top of the third inning after junior first baseman Zack Fields, who was playing his first game of the season against the Jayhawks, scored freshman shortstop Zach McKinstry on a two-run double. CMU sophomore outfielder Alex Borglin scored Fields the next at-bat.
Chippewas pitching staff secured the lead.
UP NEXT:
The Jayhawks stay home for a three-game series against Big 10 conference foes Michigan.
The Wolverines are 10-6 and are coming off a 2-0 loss against Akron. Price said Michigan is a really talented team.
"[Michigan] had two really good recruiting classes in-a-row," Price said. "They'll be athletic, they're picked to be in the top four teams in the Big 10, so they're coming and playing well — just like Central Michigan."

New printers reduce wasted paper by 11 million sheets
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
Since the introduction of multifunctional printers on campus, the University has reduced the number of pages printed in a year by 11 million, according to David Day, director of IT External Affairs.
The amount of 11 million pages is equal to a stack 3,600 feet high. Day said.
Day said the cost savings of printing for the fiscal year of 2014 was $254,377. Multifunction devices, or MFDs, allow users to scan, copy and print on one machine.
"That is about 30 campaniles stacked on top of each other, or if the [sheets of] paper were laid end to end, about 1,900 miles," Day said.
"Prior to that, students would print off a document, realize they made a mistake on it, or had an error they needed to correct, or just forgot to pick it up, and at the end of the day there would be stacks and stacks of paper left that were unused," Day said.
Day said the University has taken some steps to help reduce the amount of paper being used on campus. One such initiative requires students to log in to release their print jobs in the computer labs.
Day said a benefit of MFDs is that students can send print jobs from anywhere that has Wi-Fi access. A student can send a print job to any public MFD on campus and have four hours to pick it up. All students have to do is go to any MFD on campus, swipe their ID card, and their work will print.
---
In total, about 17,521,495 pieces of paper were used during this year, which works out to about 48,000 a day.
x10
---
With about 30,000 staff/faculty/students on campus, about 1.5 pieces of paper are used per person per day.

That equals to about 5,714 cases of paper a year. There are 10 reams of paper to a case.
REDUCTION IN PAPER USAGE:
11 MILLION
Since introducing multifunctional printers, KU libraries have reduced the number of pages in year by 11 million.
11 million pages equals a stack of paper 3,600 feet high, or equal to about 30 of the KU campaniles stacked on top of each other.
If the pages were laid end to end, it would equal about 1,900 miles — the distance from Lawrence to Seattle.
MFDs also introduced document scanning and workflow, which allows departments to both scan and route documents internally and email them to recipients instead of

ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
While the former location on Massachusetts Street accepted Beak 'Em Bucks as payment, for now, they are not valid at the new location. This change might generate questions about the methodology behind Beak 'Em Bucks and how the relationship between the University and local businesses work.
According to Nancy Miles, director of the KU Card Center, the University first expressed interest in connecting Beak Em Bucks to off-campus businesses in 2005. Student housing originally planned to allow Domino's to deliver to campus and let students pay with their IDs.
"There turned out to be a competitive bidding process as several pizza places responded to the proposal." Miles said.
"We aren't a bank, so we knew we needed to work with an outside company that would be able to do daily settlements, provide terminals and more." Miles said.
Though the University originally partnered with "Off Campus Advantage," this program became a subsidi-
Domino's was ultimately chosen,but the list of businesses that wanted to accept the new form of payment began to grow.

Friday's show will open with two other acts: The Sluts and Gnarly Davidson. All three of the bands know one another and have played shows together. Spreeer said The Sluts have been supportive of their band since they first got started.
The band describes its sound as "ADHD Fuzz Rock," which, according to Spreer, is, "really noisy, and a lot of our songs don't sound exactly the same." Boatright said the band doesn't like to pigeonhole its genre as psych, rock or metal, but rather they try to play songs they like.

Media Crossroads' lease at Union extended to December
LANE COFAS
@alleynahC
Media Crossroads, a student media studio in charge of producing 14 different newcasts, will relocate its studio come this December, instead of its original plan to move this summer.
Media Crossroads' lease extension is due to the success of its new LTN system, which
was installed last year but began being used last month.
"Because we have this new LTN hookup ... they [the University] want to expand on that," Media Crossroads Director Cal Butcher said. "So the University kind of went to the Union and said, 'Can we delay that move?' "
An LTN system delivers video via the LTN Global Smart-Cloud and "enables broadcasters to deliver live video content globally and cost effectively," according to the LTN Global Communications website.

Transcription notation policy will move forward
What it is: A notation policy Kansas Board of Regents Student Senators have been trying to push through, which would support the adaptation of a nonacademic misconduct notation added to transcripts. KBOR has to write its own language of the new policy, but is in support of it.
What this means for students: Students who are suspended or expelled for non-academic misconduct will have a notation added to their transcript, alerting other universities in KBOR of the suspension or expulsion. The transcript adaptation is one of the Sexual Assault Task Force's ways of combatting sexual assault, as assault falls under the nonacademic misconduct field.
Why students should care: "This is all about transparency at the end of the day," Graduate Senator Angela Murphy said, "making sure from institution to institution in Kansas that we are clear about the quality of our students."
What this means for students: If it passes, minors across the state of Kansas will be exempt from legal charges such as Minor in Possession or Minor in Consumption should they seek medical attention for something like alcohol poisoning while drinking.
Senators will travel to Topeka tomorrow in support of Lifeline 911 legislation
What it is: A bill that would grant legal amnesty to minors who seek medical attention while drinking alcoholic beverages.
Why students should care: "This is important for students and it's important even on a larger scale," Student Body President Morgan Said
Why students should care: "Student's should care because this will allow Student Senate to better reach out to them and reach out to every voice on this campus by putting more outreach on our Senators and allowing them to be better equipped to reach out to their constituents," current Outreach Director Patrick Jacquinot said.
said. "For any resident of Kansas who is under 21, or any resident of Kansas who cares about anyone under 21, I think this supports general safety and responsibility, and many of the legislators have said 'I have children at the collegiate level. This makes sense because I want them protected."
Line-item funding approved What it is: Line item is the money allocated to student organizations for general funding such as annual events.
What it is: The bill, authored by the current Executive Secretary and Outreach Director, will combine the two positions into one Communications Director position.
Bill approved to consolidate Executive Secretary and Outreach Director into Communications Director
What this means for students: Having one position will save students a little over $7,000, as a second position will no longer have to be funded.
Line-item funding approved
What this means for students: Student Senate will allocate $116,925 to student organizations, which comes from the Student Senate activity fee.
Why students should care:
"Line-item budget gives student organizations the ability to plan their groups and security for the next fiscal year," finance chair Jessie Pringle said.
Funding for honorarium featuring Allison Kafer approved
What it is: This honorarium will be open to any members of the community or campus and will involve an open dialogue in regards her research about disability students.
What this means for students: The honorarium is open to the public and will be held on April 23 at 7 p.m. in the Alderson Auditorium.
Why students should care:
"Allison is important because she brings to the table this kind of ability for people who identify with any [identity],
and AbleHawks is all about supporting people that are multifaceted," President of AbleHawks and Allies Jennifer Macinkowski said. "We can all come together and share these ideas and these perspectives and learn from each other and it's wonderful, so we're really excited to co-sponsor something like this."

ary of The CBORD Group in 2007. Despite this company handling business relationships, CBORD cannot partner with a business without the University's approval.
Once CBORD has established a formal relationship and completed a merchant agreement, the card center provides that business with one card reader, a set of guidelines and some advertisements that promote card use. The business is also required to pay a one-time fee of $250 and take on a monthly fee for access to the network. Sami Takiedine, director of operations at CBORD, said this monthly fee is usually between $30 and $40.
"Beak 'Em Bucks cannot be used to purchase things like alcohol, tobacco and pornography," Miles said.
As far as funding from the University, Takieddine said the University is one of the few schools that pays an annual fee.
"Most universities don't pay CBORD an annual fee, but there are some that do in order to receive a share based on the interchange we collect," Takieddine said.
The interchange Takieddine is referring to comes from a fee that is charged for every transaction.
"The flat percentage can be as low as three or four percent, but maybe as high as 10 [percent]," Takieddine said.
Each purchase includes a transaction fee. According to Takiedine, this is usually around 20 to 30 cents. These fees vary depending on the type of business.
"CBORD has different national agreements with partners like Chipotle, Panera Bread and CVS Pharmacy because they are corporations that might have multiple locations," Takieddine said. "We still try to keep rates fairly standard across the board."
KU Psychological Clinic
Takiedine said CBORD provides training to businesses for the hardware upon their initial partnership and continues to offer support whenever needed.
One chain restaurant that didn't want to be named doesn't like the card reader because it constantly malfunctions. Another that also wished to stay anonymous has a similar problem with the card reader; however, they said they are more unhappy that their requests for repair have been ignored for months.
Takieddine was unable to share the percentage of revenue the University receives on behalf of transactions.
Despite this slight loss of profit for businesses like Minsky's Pizza, general manager Jon Studtman said accepting Beak 'Em Bucks allows the restaurant to appropriately serve the community.
Phil Toevs of Biggs BBQ said the form of payment makes the business more student-friendly. Even though students benefit from using their IDs off campus, some businesses are unhappy with the system.
"It's a way to bring in more guests to our restaurant," Hicks said. "While it's nice for the students, it's also good for bringing in volume."
"I think having the option opens us up to the students, especially freshmen and sophomores that might be on a limited budget but who still have parents that put money into their KU accounts," Studtman said.
Noodles & Company's General Manager Ben Hicks said the Beak 'Em Bucks program is definitely convenient.
Two recent "racially unjust" incidents have affected the University community, according to a statement by the University's Greek Government Council addressed to the Kansan.

Greek Government Council gives statement to Kansan regarding 'racial injustices'
"This incident is a testament to the amount of progress we have yet to make," the statement said. "We must ensure that, as members of the Greek community, we are culturally competent in a rapidly changing society."
The statement also addressed an incident involving the Oklahoma University chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. It said the incident reminds them to acknowledge "the issue of bigotry and own the injustices that can happen here." The statement concluded with an announcement that executive teams will meet after spring break.
The Greek Governing Council presidents are Chris Pyle, president of the Interfraternity Council; Ramiro Sarmiento, Multicultural Greek Council president; Camille Douglas, National Pan-Hellenic Council president; and Hannah Reinhart, Panhellenic Association president.

"No longer is your print job just sitting there waiting for anyone there to pick up," Day said. "You go to the printer, you swipe your card, it prints for you and you're right there to pick it up."
Matt Owens, a freshman from Grantham, N.H., said he has had difficulty printing and finds the process frustrating.
"I think that the process from the computer to logging in at the printer is extremely complicated, and they don't give enough detailed steps on how to actually log in and get to where you need to go to receive your papers." Owens said.
Day said after some complaints about the extra steps for students, IT added the card readers to the machines in the labs and libraries.
From March 1, 2014 to March 1, 2015, with the University's multifunction printers, there were approximately 24.79 million impressions, or pages printed. Day of said that, approximately 14.53 million were

Day said with 30,000 students, faculty and staff on campus, that's 1.6 pieces of paper per person per day. This equals 5,714 cases of paper a year, with 10 reams of paper to a case.

Day said working to reduce the paper printing on campus will align with the University's goals for sustainability.
"The University is increasingly focused on sustainability," Day said. "It's important to us as information technology, so the more that we can do electronically, the better for both the budget of the University and the environment."
Last year, IT did a 30-day case study with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and had a contest to see which departments could save the most money by using an MFD versus their laser printers.

Butcher said the University likes this system because of the national attention the University is receiving by having notable faculty and staff on the show.
Though Media Crossroads has another semester in the Union, it will need to find a new place to call home by

Various institutions on campus have stated they would want Media Crossroads to have its studio in its buildings, including both Anschutz and Watson libraries, the Lied Center and Stauffer-Flint Hall. Butcher said they have also talked about potentially locating Media Crossroads somewhere off campus.

About 60 landowners and activists rallied at the state Capitol in Lincoln as pipeline developer TransCanada Corp. defended its use of eminent domain to gain access to property owned by holdouts.
Their arguments in a nearly five-hour hearing included several testy exchanges with senators who support the pipeline. Opponents asked lawmakers to pass a bill that would reverse the 2012 pipeline-sitting law.
The law allowed TransCanada to bypass Nebraska's Public Service Commission, which reviews most pipeline proposals, and seek approval instead through a state agency overseen by the governor. Heineman, a Republican, supported the project.
Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha said he introduced the bill as a "shot across the bow" to TransCanada, and to give voice to landowners who oppose the pipeline.
"Until now, the public — the people who have been affected directly by this pipeline activity
have never had a seat at the table," Chambers said. "The ones at the table were politicians who ... were in TransCanada's pock-
... were in TransCanada's pocket."
The pipeline would go from Canada through Montana and
In January, the Nebraska Supreme Court allowed the pipeline-sitting law to stand by default. Four judges on the seven-member court ruled in favor of landowners who challenged the law, but a super-majority of five was needed.
South Dakota to Nebraska, where it would connect with existing pipelines to carry more than 800,000 barrels of crude oil a day to refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast.
The remaining three judges refused to rule on the law, arguing they couldn't because the plaintiffs in the lawsuit didn't have legal standing. Opponents responded by filing a nearly identical lawsuit with landowners who were directly affected.
TransCanada has said 90 percent of Nebraska landowners along the Keystone XL route — and 100 percent of those in Montana and South Dakota — have agreed to easements so the company can build the pipeline.
TransCanada land manager Andrew Craig said eminent domain is a tool of last resort that's needed to develop pipelines, railroads and other infrastructure. Without that power, "a single landowner or small group of landowners could block projects that deliver those public benefits to Nebraskans," Craig said.
Some opponents accused lawmakers of ignoring their pleas for help.
"We feel like we're just being left out to dry," said Randy Thompson, a rancher and longtime opponent who owned land along the first proposed route before it was moved in 2013. "You don't listen to what our concerns are."
But Sen. Bob Krist of Omaha raided against the opponents, saying he's spent hours past listening to anti-pipeline groups to try to address their concerns.
The pipeline, first proposed in 2008, still requires presidential approval because it crosses an international border.

Going home every weekend is not healthy

you can actually stand in. Young adults do not appreciate these pleasures until they have traded their childhood bedrooms for college dormitories. Going home over break or for the occasional weekend helps puts things in perspective. You're reminded of where you come from and maybe even why you are in college in the first place. Going back to your roots is great, but staying planted there while in college is not.
Thirty-five percent of the University's students come from out of state, according to the University Handbook. These students don't always have the option of going home whenever they please. Those who live close to home have the choice to return home whenever they choose. However, what these students fail to realize is going home may hinder their college experience. College allows students to establish their identity and
figure out who they will one day become. This becomes a difficult task when you go back home to mom and dad every weekend.
After attending the University for almost two years, I've noticed a
some people have friends from home to turn to, a student will most likely lack a sense of belonging at the University if he or she returns home too often.

trend from my peers that demonstrates going back home too often on weekends or weeknights damages one's social life.
During the week, students tend to be stressed with school or busy with extracurriculars. Social gatherings and activities often take place on the weekends.Many social connections are built during the weekend because homework, tests and other factors tend to take up a student's free time during the school week. While

Try to avoid going home every weekend and instead participate in the culture and lifestyle the University offers. You will end up having a better experience socially, as well as mentally.

Rethink what you mean when you say 'I don't like to read'
Gabe Sprague
@SpragueGabe
Some avid book readers may have a friend who says, "I just don't like to read." The explanation tends to be that reading is boring, it makes him or her sleepy or he or she doesn't enjoy reading for class.
When put into this perspective, many people do not actually dislike reading — they dislike being told to read a subject that does not interest them. People must reconsider when they are using this phrase because it is untrue
how Facebook would look to a person who cannot read. There are tons of readings that are not just boring blocks of text. The article you're reading now, magazines, comic books, BuzzFeed articles — many of these are enjoyable to people who say they don't like to read. People should maybe reconsider the "I don't like to read" statement and alter it to "I don't like reading certain texts."
The ability to read also gives a person many opportunities. America has one of the highest literacy rates in the world at 99 percent, according to the
WHEN PEOPLE SAY THEY DON'T LIKE TO READ, THEY'RE IGNORING THE INSTANCES IN WHICH THEY DO LIKE TO READ."
and it ignores the benefits of reading.
People read all kinds of things, and when people say they don't enjoy reading, they are over-generalizing and not including every place or occurrence where words appear. This includes Facebook, textbooks, job descriptions or text messages from friends.
According to Daily Mail the average American spends 40 minutes a day on Facebook. Imagine
CIA's World Factbook. As the CIA also points out, low literacy rates "can impede the economic development of a country in the current rapidly changing technology-driven world."
As Americans, we are afforded many educational opportunities, but we can only make use of these opportunities through the ability to read. Illiterate people cannot be educated or acquire jobs. When people say they don't like
to read, they are stating they dislike the ability that allows them to make use of these benefits.
The ability to read also has some less obvious benefits. It allows people to communicate better, understand alternate viewpoints and communicate not only with people within their own social circles, but also with everyone who has ever written in their given language.
In a world becoming increasingly connected, the ability to interact effectively with other people is perhaps one of the greatest assets literacy provides us.
when people say they don't like to read, they are ignoring the instances in which they do like to read. They are ignoring how many opportunities are provided to them because of literacy and how reading helps a person communicate more effectively.
I am not trying to insult people who say they don't like to read; however, individuals should provide a clarification to this statement, taking into account the opportunities and benefits that literacy provides.

JAYHAWKS ON THE BOULEVARD DO YOU THINK GOING HOME EVERY WEEKEND IS HEALTHY FOR A STUDENTS' COLLEGE DEVELOPMENT?
Amy Smith
HAYLEY KREBS, FRESHMAN, DENVER
A.
"I would say that it's healthy in moderation, like every couple of weeks, to maybe go home, but for the most part I think it's important to stay in college for the social aspect and be involved with your peers. Even if you have to get studying done, it's easier to get it done here than at home. To feel more attached to your school you have to be here."
NICK LAUTERBACH, SOPHOMORE, DOWNERS GROVE, ILL.
"I think part of college is learning to gain responsibility and live life on your own, so I personally think, coming from an out-of-state student's perspective, that staying on campus rather than going home is more beneficial when it comes to gaining responsibility and growing up."
Sandra H.
HANNAH WILSON, SOPHOMORE, TOPEKA
"The point of attending a university of this size is to be away from your parents for the first time, and the whole college experience is about learning about who you are as a person and how to be on your own, and if you go home every weekend you miss out on making those friends and hanging out with them."
I'll try to make sure it's clearly visible. It's a black and white photo of a smiling person wearing a cap. The background is blurry, but it looks like a school or cafeteria setting.
MITCHELL BROWNING, JUNIOR, WELBORN, COLO
"I think going home every weekend kind of takes away from the college experience, just because I feel like they are relying too much on their parents and end up missing out on some of the fun that happens on the weekends."

Make your own health luck, avoid Shamrock Shakes on St. Patty's
SHERYL MILLER
@KUSheryl
St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, which means the McDonald's Shamrock Shake is back. Many students will indulge in this seasonal treat, but is the one indulgence worth the health risk?
According to McDonald's nutrition information, a small (12 oz) shake includes 530 calories, 15 grams of fat and 73 grams of sugar. The American Heart Association recommends limiting your grams of sugar to less than 36 grams/day for men and 24 grams/day for women. One small shake is also the same amount of calories as one Big Mac.
Ordering a large (22 oz) Shamrock Shake bumps the calorie total to 820 calories,23 grams of fat and 115 grams of sugar.
The New York Times notes that eating or drinking high fat, sugary foods immediately affects your short-term memory. For college students, this is especially harmful when studying for midterms, tests and classes.
In addition, Prevention magazine notes that high sugar consumption not only causes your energy to drop $ 30 $
McDonald's website names only vanilla ice cream, shamrock syrup, whipped cream and a cherry as the ingredients in the shake. However, that may not tell the full story, considering the ice cream includes 15 ingredients, the syrup has 10, the whipped cream includes 12 and a single McDonald's maraschino cherry consists of 12 ingredients.
minutes after ingestion, but there are links between high sugar diets and increased risk of depression.
The majority of these ingredients are chemicals from synthetic additives and food dyes. WebMD notes that health experts believe eating whole foods instead of processed foods consisting of additives and food dyes lowers your risk for many chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and coronary heart disease.
In light of this, try some alternative Shamrock Shake recipes to better meet your lifestyle needs. Each recipe is a pretty big serving, so share with a friend if it is too much. For each recipe, blend all ingredients to your desired consistency, top with whipped cream if wanted and enjoy immediately.

Party it up with these spring break movies
Spring break is a time for partying, shenanigans and relaxation. So whether you want to prepare yourself for your awesome trip or live vicariously while you stay at home, here are five movies to put you in the zone for spring break.

SPRING BREAKERS
PIRANHA 3D
Spring break takes a dark turn as four teenage girls (Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, Vanessa Hudgens and Rachel Korine) go from partying on the beach to joining creepy, gangster drug dealer Alien (James Franco) in his criminal exploits. This is actually the famously weird writer/director Harmony Korine's most mainstream film, which is to say it's a neon-drenched, surreal and offbeat experience where Franco imitates rapper Riff Raff to a strange and humorous effect, and Gucci Mane plays his rival.
A renowned spring break celebration in a lake town gets really, really bloody in this campy horror movie chock full of hilarious carnage, when a ravenous frenzy of piranhas crashes the party. Sleazy behavior and exposed boobs play important parts, too. The balance between ridiculous violence and gory terror elevates this horror comedy above its silly premise, making for great fun.
ROAD TRIP
Forgoring the beach for a cross-country drive with your best buddies? Check out this highly enjoyable college comedy about four friends hitting the road to retrieve a sex tape accidentally sent to a long-distance girlfriend, featuring a lively cast that includes Seann William Scott, Amy Smart and Tom Green as the wacky highlight.
If you'll just be at home for break, take a note from "Project X" and throw a righteous party to make up for it. In this raucous comedy, three high school seniors throw a wild party that quickly becomes the most legendary house party you could ever imagine, blowing up into a night of uncontrollable, epic insanity.
PROJECT X
DUCK BEACH TO ETERNITY
Every year, Duck Beach, N.C., plays host to a spring break gathering of Mormon singles, in which they party without alcohol and seek potential soulmates. This fascinating documentary chronicles the experience of four individuals at this event and gives an honest look at the extremely conservative lifestyle of those in this religion.

Ashton Kutcher calls for changing tables in public men's restrooms

Kutcher headed a new campaign to help close gender stereotypes about fathers. He posted on his Facebook page,
The hashtag invited a plethora of support for the cause on Twitter, and users applauded Kutcher for drawing attention to a neglected issue about fatherhood. His Facebook post received more than 200,000 likes since he posted it on March 8.
Previous stereotypes of fathers — that they are lazy, apathetic and generally incapable of caring for their babies or changing diapers — have continually been challenged over the years. Earlier this year, Super Bowl ads showed fathers
as contributing figures rather than spectators. One such advertisement by Dove depicted children leaping into their fathers' arms and calling for their daddies to push them on swings, lift them from monkey bars, brush their hair or cuddle them. Text on the screen read,
"What makes a man stronger?
Showing that he cares."
men's rooms with changing tables or businesses with them to reply and let him know. Many Facebook users shared restaurants and businesses in their areas with men's room changing tables, but in general, people were applauding his call to action.
This type of stand for fathers seems to be a growing one as the number of fathers who stay at home with their children has nearly doubled since 1989, according to PEW Research. The 2012 study showed that 16 percent of stay-at-home parents were fathers.
Heck, I'll admit rewatching the ad makes my eyes well up.
Kutcher's initial post urged individuals who have seen
Time for men to start owning responsibility for their kids. Well done, Ashton!!" one Facebook user wrote.
A single post from the "That 70's Show" star has brought a buried issue to the surface. As social media and ad campaigns depict fathers in a more flattering light, it's good to see this progressive conversation taking hold. Now, we'll wait to see the effects.

Verdict in Thicke/Pharrell's 'Blurred Lines' copyright case likely to alter music business
Edited by Callie Byrnes
LOS ANGELES — A verdict saying Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke copied Marvin Gaye's music to create their hit song "Blurred Lines" could ripple across the music industry, potentially changing how artists work and opening the door to new copyright claims.
An eight-person jury determined Tuesday that Williams and Thickie copied elements of Gaye's 1977 hit "Got to Give It Up" and ordered the pair to pay nearly $7.4 million to the late R&B legend's three children.
Millions more in potential future profits for "Blurred Lines" are now also at stake.
While the verdict affects Thicke and Williams' finances in the short term, artists and music industry lawyers will likely face new constraints as they sort through the verdict implications.
The Gaye family will seek an injunction against the song, which will give them leverage to negotiate for royalties and other concessions such as songwriting credit, although Tuesday's verdict could face years of appeals.
Howard King, lead attorney for Thicke and Williams, said in closing arguments that a verdict for the Gaye family would have a chilling effect on musicians trying to evoke an era or create an homage to the sound of earlier artists. Williams contended during the trial that he was only trying to mimic the "feel" of Gaye's late 1970s music but insisted he did not use elements of his idid's work.
Music copyright trials are rare, but allegations that a song copies another artist's work are common. Singers Sam Smith and Tom Petty recently reached an agreement that conferred songwriting credit to Petty on Smith's song, "Stay With
"Today's successful verdict, with the odds more than stacked against the Marvii Gaye estate, could redefine what copyright infringement means for recording artists," said Glen Rothstein, an intellectual property attorney.
He said the decision sets a precedent because "paying homage to musical influences was an acceptable, and indeed commonplace way of conducting business and even showing respect for one's musical idols, (but) after today, doubt has been cast on where the line will be drawn for copyright infringement purposes."
Me," which resembled Petty's hit "I Won't Back Down."
In the "Blurred Lines" case, the Gaye family will seek an injunction against the song, giving them leverage to negotiate for royalties and other concessions such as songwriting credits.
Nona Gaye, the late singer's daughter, wept as the verdict was read and later told reporters: "Right now, I feel free. Free from ... Pharrell Williams' and Robin Thicke's chains and what they tried to keep on us and the lies that were told."
Larry Iser, an intellectual property lawyer who has represented numerous musicians such as Jackson Browne and David Byrne in music copyright cases, criticized the verdict.
"Although Gaye was the Prince of Soul, he didn't own a copyright to the genre, and Thicke and Williams' homage to the feel of Marvin Gaye is not infringing." Iser said.
King, the pair's lawyer, said record labels are going to become more reluctant to release music that's similar to other works — an assertion disputed by Richard Busch,
the lead attorney for the Gaye family.
"While Mr. Williams' lawyer suggested in his closing argument that the world would come to an end, and music would cease to exist if they were found liable, I still see the sun shining." Busch said. "The music industry will go on."
So, too, will Williams' career,
said Joe Levy, editor-at-large at
Billboard.
"For Pharrell, the story moves on," he said. "It will move on quickly."
Williams, 41, is a seventime Grammy Award winner whose songs he's performed or produced have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. His hit "Happy" has helped make him a household name, as has his work as a judge on NBC's music competition show, "The Voice."
"It's much to Pharrell's advantage that he is at a high point in his career." Levy
Thicke's career may have more issues as a result of Tuesday's verdict — which came on his 38th birthday — because "Blurred Lines" was a global hit and his follow-up effort failed to connect with audiences, Levy said. Despite
the song's popularity, feminists have criticized it, saying it promotes rape culture.
While the verdict will likely make musicians and record labels more cautious, it won't stop artists from using others' works as inspiration, Levy said.
Despite the decision, he predicted that "Blurred Lines" will continue to make plenty of money for Williams, Thicke and, in all likelihood, the Gaye family.
"People aren't going to stop playing it," Levy said. "It's not just going to disappear."

A roundabout has been constructed at Wakarusa and Legends Drive to make commutes faster and increase safety.
Wakarusa roundabout aims to decrease traffic
MATT MCREYNOLDS
@UDKMatt
A new roundabout recently installed at the intersection of Wakarusa and Legends Drive seeks to speed up commute times and reduce traffic, city engineers said.
The intersection near Free State High School was completed in early January and includes a two-lane, Overland Park-style roundabout that commuters to Kansas City and neighboring suburbs may recognize. The addition of roundabouts like these to West Lawrence means students commuting from across town may face less traffic and accidents and have a shorter commute time to campus, as well as other off-campus destinations like Rock Chalk Park.
David Woosley, the City of Lawrence's traffic engineer, said the goal of installing a
roundabout in the area was a reduction of commute times.
"[The goal is] to reduce congestion as traffic increases in the area and to reduce crash potential," Woosley said. "Research has shown that roundabouts can reduce congestion and reduce crashes."
The roundabout completely eliminates the need for commuters to come to a full stop and wait their turn in line like the stop sign did, Woosley said.
The West Lawrence area has seen a great influx of development in recent months. With the installation of Rock Chalk Park and the Theatre Lawrence and more commercial development coming in the Bauer Farm district, traffic increases to the already heavy traffic flow needed a solution.
"I've seen a decrease in travel time through the intersection and received
several public comments to the effect, too," Lawrence City Engineer David Cronin said.
"The intersection was open Jan. 2, and from our last review in mid-February, there were no reported crashes during the first six weeks in full operation," Cronin said.
Cronin said since opening, the roundabout has been effective and operational.
While the city considers this project a success, the future of other four-way stops on Wakarusa remains a mystery.
"There are no current plans being worked on for other roundabouts in the area, but as we progress in the future with reconstructing streets, we will continue to review if it is appropriate to include intersection improvements," Cronin said.

Ferguson chief resigns in wake of federal report
JIM SALTER Associated Press
Jackson had previously resisted calls by protesters and some of Missouri's top elected leaders to step down over his handling of the fatal shooting of Michael Brown and the weeks of sometimes-violent protests that followed. He was widely criticized from the outset, both for an aggressive police response to protesters and for his agency's erratic and infrequent releases of key information.
Jackson's resignation becomes effective March 19, at which point Lt. Col. Al Eickhoff will become acting chief while the city searches for a replacement.
He took nearly a week to publicly identify Officer Darren Wilson as the shooter and then further heightened tension in the community by releasing Wilson's name at the same time as store security video police said showed Brown stealing a box of cigars and shoving a clerk only a short time before his death.
Calling Chief Thomas Jackson an "honorable man," Mayor James Knowles III announced the city had reached a mutual separation agreement that will pay Jackson one year of his nearly $96,000 annual salary and health coverage.
FERGUSON, Mo. — The police chief in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson resigned Wednesday in the wake of a scathing Justice Department report prompted by the fatal shooting of an unarmed black 18-year-old by a white police officer.
"I believe this is the appropriate thing to do at this time," Jackson said. "This city needs to move forward without any distractions."
sentence letter in which he said he was announcing his resignation with profound sadness. He told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he felt it was time for the city to move on.
Jackson submitted a four-
During a 12-minute news conference, Knowles said Jackson resigned after "a lot of soul-searching" about how the community could heal from the racial unrest stemming from the fatal shooting last summer.
"I believe this is the appropriate thing to do at this time. This city needs to move forward without any distractions."
THOMAS JACKSON
Former Ferguson, Mo.
police chief
"The chief is the kind of honorable man you don't have to go to." Knowles said. "He comes to you when he knows that this is something we have to seriously discuss."
Jackson becomes the sixth employee to resign or be fired after the U.S. Department of Justice last week issued the report that cleared Wilson of civil rights charges in the shooting but found a profit-driven court system and widespread racial bias in the city police department.
Justice Department officials had previously said they were willing to work with
whatever leadership the police department had. A U.S. law enforcement official said Wednesday the Justice Department had not pressured or encouraged Jackson to resign during meetings with him but had also not resisted the idea. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing meetings between the Justice Department and the police department.
The resignation was welcomed by state lawmakers who represent Ferguson.
"There would be a lot of people that would approve of that," said Democratic state Rep. Sharon Pace, who represents the neighborhood where Brown was shot.
Jackson oversaw the Ferguson force for nearly five years before the shooting that stirred months of unrest across the St. Louis region and drew global attention to the predominantly black city of 21,000.
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster and U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill were among those working behind the scenes to get him to resign, but Jackson stood firm.
Since the Aug. 9 shooting, he has spoken of a desire to work with community members and described efforts to bolster minority hiring in a department that had just three black officers at the time of Brown's death.
But he struggled to manage a local crisis that turned into an international event and explain his decision-making at news conferences disrupted by angry protesters and grieving community members.

KC area schools to team up for disease research
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Three Kansas City schools will partner in a research consortium that will focus on musculoskeletal disorders and diseases.
The KU Medical Center, the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences (KCUMB) and the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) will work collaboratively to form teams of investigators on different levels: basic, translational and researchers.
Lynda Bonewald, one of the three executive leaders and vice chancellor for translational and clinical research, said forming these teams will allow for people to
work on a smaller scale, while still coming together with the entire consortium.
"We started talking about this collaboration two years ago," Bonewald said. "It's been fun coming up with ideas and preparing this large group to make a substantial mark on research."
research. Although Bonewald has been wanting to collaborate for awhile now, it wasn't until KCUMB hosted a reception and panel discussion Feb. 11 that a discussion was prompted between the three schools.
Bonewald said this collaboration will give the three schools a better chance at getting funding for the research.
Bonewald, along with the other executive leaders,
Richard Barohn, vice chancellor for research at the University, and Jeffrey Joyce, vice president for research at KCUMB, will begin with formal meetings every month or two to discuss current projects and begin planning the grant requests they will have to submit.
"We want to see how we can work together and show that we can indeed pull off this complicated research project so we can submit requests for funding." Barohn said.
The group is specifically looking for a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Students from the three schools will be able to be involved as well.
"The NIH can be tough to get funding from, but we think we have an advantage because the request won't be coming
from just one school, but a combination of three;" Barohn said.
"We encourage med students to join," Barohn said. "If we get the funding we need, we might even be able to generate a program to train students in the areas we are focusing on."
Zach Machi is in his last year of school at KU Med and although he won't be able to participate in the consortium due to graduation, he has worked with Barohn for the past two and a half years.
"I worked with Dr. Barohn as a part of the neuromuscular research group at KU Medical Center," Machi said, "A big part of that time was
dedicated to clinical trials with ALS patients. We were really interested in looking at blood markers that tell us if a particular drug is working the way we hypothesized."
Students involved would do similar work as Machi with the first project for the consortium focusing on ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
"Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences has been successful in recruiting lab workers and KU has already been running some trials to find a drug to slow the disease down, so this combination alone should produce positive results," Barohn said.
Barohn said the consortium will also look at bone diseases like osteoporosis.
Working closely with this
project will be Marco Brotto from the School of Nursing and Health at UMKC.
"This consortium is so interesting because oftentimes groups that combine are made up of people with tremendous expertise in just one area but with us, we are combining people who are bright in many areas," Brotto said.
the focus on musculoskeletal disease is important, and more people should be aware of how common it is, since 1.7 billion people were affected by it in some way in 2012, Brotto said.
Brotto said one of the benefits of the consortium will allow researchers to look at these diseases more closely.

WASHINGTON —The Associated Press on Wednesday sued the State Department to force the release of email correspondence and government documents from Hillary Rodham Clinton's tenure as secretary of state.
The legal action follows repeated requests filed under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act that have gone unfulfilled. They include one request the AP made five years ago and others pending since the summer of 2013.

COMMENTARY NFL players retire younger, focus on life after football
BASEBALL
Seven-time pro bowler and middle linebacker Patrick Willis — a staple of the 49ers defense for nearly a decade — was first to call it quits after eight seasons.
Tuesday, he gave his official retirement speech at the 49ers' Levi's Stadium, saying health was the ultimate factor in his decision.
Matthew Corte
@MattCorte7
His reason for retiring is completely justifiable and should be considered by others. But when a player as dominant as Willis retires prematurely it sends red flags to the other 31 NFL teams that one of their aging cornerstones could go as well.
There was once a time when NFL players brushed off concus.
sions and broken bones in hopes of returning to game action the very next snap. Sadly, many still do. But overall, protecting oneself for life after football has never been so evident in the NFL as it is today.
No longer are the days when every player wanted eternal glory in the Pro Football Hall of Fame or vast amounts of money. Some just simply want to survive.
Edited by Mackenzie Clark
However, walking away from a guaranteed contract of $15 million like Worilds did shows that NFL players' mindsets are starting to shift.
This week, three players made waves by announcing their early retirement from football, all of them under 30 years old.
Adjusted inflation of Brown's 1966 salary to today's money is $432,790, or just above rookie salary, so his decision to retire at 30 makes sense, given he was a star player and could most likely make that much as an actor.
Still, that was before lucrative contracts began making their way into the NFL. Brown's last salary for Cleveland was a meager $60,000, whereas rookie players today have a minimum salary of $420,000 if they make the team.
Followed by Willis was the retirement of Titans quarterback Jake Locker, who said Tuesday he no longer had the passion to play the game. Passion aside, I'm willing to bet the multiple blows to the head and injuries Locker sustained during his four-year NFL career were also a cause for concern.

Previous NFL players have retired early for various reasons, including Jim Brown, who wanted to take up an acting career in Hollywood.
Perhaps the most shocking retirement, though, came from Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Jason Worldls. As a 27-year-old, he's not only entering the prime of his career, but he just had his most productive season with 7.5 sacks and 59 tackles. Rather than retiring for health reasons, Worldls claimed to be pursuing other interests, and who can blame him?
Kansas opens tournament play against TCU
AARON GROENE/KANSAN
Sophomore forward Landen Lucas swings around Texas freshman Myles Turner after dunking during the first half of the Jayhawks' Feb. 28 match up against the Longhorns. Lucas put in 25 minutes in the absence of freshman forward Cliff Alexander. Kansas put together a win, coming back from six points in the second half to win 69-64.
BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein
Kansas may be without its best player for the second round of the Big 12 tournament against TCU. Junior Perry Ellis was sidelined for the last game and a half of Kansas' season with a left knee strain.
Freshman Cliff Alexander is still riding the bench due to an NCAA violation. These are arguably Kansas' best two big men and they may be without both against the Horned Frogs.
"We're not at full-strength, but we weren't at full strength going down to Norman either," Self said. "Hunter [Mickelson], Landen [Lucas] and Jamari [Traylor] stepped up and played big. There is no reason why this can't be the case again."
Kansas' three back-up big men have been clutch in the absence of Ellis and Alexander. The three combined for 31 points in the Jayhawks' loss to Oklahoma in the regular season finale.
Kansas finished the season with the regular season Big 12 title and earned a bye in the first round of the Big 12 tournament. Kansas was eliminated by Oklahoma State in last year's tournament and won it all two years ago.
The Big 12 is as close as it has been in recent memory, and all 10 teams have legitimate chances of winning the tournament title.
"You can make a case for seven or eight teams winning if they get hot," Self said. "I think two keys to this year's is to be battle-tested and to be fresh. If you're those two things then you're as good as you possibly can be."
While Self said he understands the importance of winning the Big 12 tournament, he said he realizes there are bigger goals to the season. While winning an 11th straight Big 12 title is impressive, there is more to college basketball than regular season titles.
"I never thought winning the Big 12 tournament was that important," Self said. "It is important to win every time you play. It's the only time you can lose a game, and you're automatically looking toward the next game. The batteries recharge."
Kansas defeated TCU both
times they met this season, but both were close games. The two games were won by a combined 12 points. Sophomore Frank Mason III led the way with a combined 30 points in both games.
TURN TO PAGE 2B FOR A BIG 12 TOURNAMENT BREAKDOWN
Ellis recorded 23 in the last matchup and pulled down seven boards. TCU has proven it can compete in the Big 12 this year. Horned Frog senior Kyan Anderson is a solid point guard who can lead a team.
"I do think whatever team we will play will certainly give us everything we want and more," Self said. "Even if we play well, TCU is very capable."

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many free agents hit the market?
A: Over 500 players were free agents.
NFL.com
THE MORNING BREW
Star players moved across the NFL in a crazy free agency
Many moves were made in the 2015 NFL free agency, including a huge pick up by the Kansas City Chiefs. After not having a single wide receiver catch a touchdown in the 2014-15 season, quarterback Alex Smith will now have a solid weapon in Jeremy Maclin. Parting with the Philadelphia Eagles, he will sign a new contract worth around $11 million per year, via Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Chiefs and veteran wide receiver Dwayne Bowe will part ways. This is a big move as they received a high-caliber offensive player in Maclin. They could still possibly draft a wide receiver in the NFL draft.
Sean Collins
@seanzie 3
Speaking of the Eagles, they made some questionable decisions early on in free agency dealing with running back LeSean McCoy to the Bills and trading Nick Foles for injury-prone Sam Bradford. Losing Maclin, McCoy and Foles was a huge blow to Philadelphia head coach Chip Kelly's offense, but it
freed a load of cap space. However, the moves may be worth it if the Eagles can pick up star running back DeMarco Murray from their division rival, the Dallas Cowboys. According to Fox Sports, both Murray and the Eagles have mutual interests.
as well as a first-round pick and received Graham and a fourth-round pick, according to ESPN.com. Graham is a top tight end in the league and has caught 51 touchdowns since joining the league in 2010. Making the super bowl two years in a row, the Seahawks will most likely be the favorite to be crowned in the NFC.
The scariest part about free agency is the dominant Seattle Seahawks got even better after they traded for pro-bowl tight end Jimmy Graham from the New Orleans Saints. The Seahawks dealt center Muger
On the other side of the NFL, the Patriots had a huge loss after declining elite cornerback Darrelle Revis' $20 million option. Revis then signed with his former team, the New York Jets. Not only did the defending champions lose their best corner, but they lost him to their division rivals. It won't get any easier for Tom Brady and the Pats as the Miami Dolphins signed defensive end Ndamukong Su on a massive $114 million deal with $60 million of it guaranteed. Even the Buffalo Bills got much better with the pick-up of McCoy from the Eagles. The Patriots will have their work more than cut out for them this upcoming
THE BREW
of top players for the San Francisco 49ers. Multiple players retired, including linebacker Patrick Willis. Just to rub it in for both the 49ers and the Eagles, running back Frank Gore left San Francisco and was nearly going to sign with the Eagles, but he made a last minute decision to sign with the Colts. With all the major movement during this free agency, someone had to pay the price.

Hoglund Ballpark is the spring break destination for the Jayhawks as they host the Michigan Wolverines in a three-game weekend series.
The jayhawks (6-11) are currently on a three-game losing streak after dropping the final two games of last weekend's series against Utah and falling to Central Michigan 2-8 on Tuesday.
Michigan (10-6) had a rough start to its season, but has been on quite a run since. After losing five of their first seven games, the Wolverines went on an eight-game winning streak before losing their final game of the Coastal Carolina Invitational against Akron.
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
The Wolverines have an impressive trio of starting pitchers who will take the mound this weekend. Keith Lehmann (1-1) has made four starts and has recorded 17 strikeouts while giving up just three runs, giving him a 1.37 ERA. Joining him will be Ryan Nutof (1-1) and Brett Adcock (2-1). The two pitchers also boast impressive ERAs, pitching 2.57 and 2.61, respectively.
Pitching is still an area of concern for the Jayhawks as they gave up 14 hits and eight runs to Central Michigan on Tuesday. Senior pitcher Drew Morovick has been unable to play this past week due to a sore elbow, and it is unknown if he will be able to play this week.
"Obviously, he's a guy that we need a lot from, and hopefully he'll be able to bounce back and be able to go next week," coach Ritch Price said.
If Morovick is deemed unfit to play, Kansas will look to start a much-less-experienced pitcher in his place, similar

Ellis still injured, Self hopeful for today's game
The uncertainty still resides whether junior forward Perry Ellis plays the first round of the Big 12 tournament.
Self admits his team isn't at full strength, but being banged up doesn't mean Self is going to rest his players and act as if the Big 12 Tournament doesn't matter. He doesn't buy into the talk about resting his players.
"He's going to play next week, but it would be nice for him to get some game stuff and some confidence on [the knee]," Self said. "That's the way with any injury. You want to get out there and at least get hit and know you can get up."
Luis will be a game-time decision for today's match-up.
Coach Bill Self said in a perfect world, the tournament would be good for Ellis' health and confidence.
"I think a lot of times,winning creates freshness;winning creates energy."Self said. "I think a lot of great stuff comes from
winning, like energy and positive momentum."
The question now isn't if Ellis can play, but rather when he can play. Self said Ellis wants to play, and if he sits out, that has nothing to do with his courage or work ethic.
"Depending on his movements and him being honest with the doctors will determine if he plays or not," Self said. "His 'want to' level is really high."
If Ellis can't suit up Thursday, Kansas will only play with three frontcourt players due to freshman forward Cliff Alexander's eligibility issue. Self said there isn't any update on Alexander's investigation, and Alexander has been a stud in handling his business.
Without Ellis and Alexander, junior forward Jamari Traylor and sophomores Landen Lucas and Hunter Mickelson will continue their heavy workload. If Ellis has to sit out, this won't be the first time. The Jayhawks came down to the wire in Norman, Okla., without Ellis.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Which player should be first pick in the 2015 NBA draft?
Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU
KARL-ANTHONY TOWNS
For a freshman, Jahil Okafor has an incredibly polished post game, the likes of which have not been seen in the NCAA for years. However, while Okafor is dominant on the offensive side of the ball, he is a subpar defender at this point in his career.
Various analysts have criticized Okafor's defensive intensity, including Rob Dauster of NBC Sports, who said in a recent article that Okafor "really struggles" on that side of the ball.
For Karl-Anthony Towns, it's been the opposite story. Towns leads the nation in defensive ratings and is second in win shares per 40 minutes, according to Basketball-Reference.com. Those stats dictate what anyone who has extensively watched Towns this year would tell you: Per minute, Towns has proven himself to be one of the nation's most effective players, if not the most effective player.
While Okafor faces criticism for his performance on defense as a whole, there are really only two minor criticisms of Towns.
both of which are easy to move on from and see past.
First. Towns plays 20.7 minutes per game, which gives the impression he isn't playing well enough to earn more time on the court. However, this just isn't the case. Towns plays in a "platoon system" at Kentucky, where the leader in minutes, Aaron Harrison, only averages 25.8 minutes per game. There are eight players averaging more than 17 minutes per game at Kentucky this year, which goes to show that given the context, this criticism is rather absurd.
The other knock on Towns is he fouls a lot. Towns commits an average of 5.6 fouls per 40 minutes, but there is definitely a precedent here, as numerous big man prospects have had foul problems in college, before going on to thrive at the NBA level.
For example, Shaquille O'Neal, one of the NBA's all-time greatest centers, averaged 5.4 fouls per 40 minutes his freshman year in college, before going on to post the sixth most career points in NBA history at 28,596, according to Basketball-Reference.com.
Hakeem Olajuwon also had his fair share of foul problems in college, averaging 6.4 fouls per 40 minutes as a freshman.
However, that did not hinder his development either, as he finished at No.10 all-time in career points, No.13 in career rebounds and First in career-blocks in NBA history.
"PER MINUTE, TOWNS HAS PROVEN HIMSELF TO BE ONE OF THE NATION'S MOST EFFECTIVE PLAYERS, IF NOT THE MOST EFFEC- TIVE PLAYER."
Simply put, Towns is a more complete player than Okafor could ever hope to be, and his flaws are quite forgivable. Both will likely go on to become solid NBA players. But at this point in time, Towns has done far more to show he can be a dominant force on both ends, and that is why he should be selected first.
JAHLIL OKAFOR
Evan Riggs
@EvanRiggs19
Edited by Mitch Raznick
During the NBA draft, "upside" is a term that is often used when talking about draft prospects. But with the No.1 pick, you can't draft purely on upside; you need to go with the guy more likely to become a star in the NBA.
"OKAFOR IS MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE A STAR IN THE NBA, AND THAT'S WHY HE SHOULD BE THE NO.1 PICK."
The debate of Karl-Anthony Towns or Jahilil Okafor as the top pick has ramped up in the last few weeks, due to Towns' magnificent play as of late. Towns has the higher upside of the two, but Okafor is the better player right now. Furthermore, Okafor is much more likely to be a star in
the NBA, and that's why he should be the No. 1 pick.
This season, Okafor has been dominant on offense, largely because he has one of the most mature post games we have ever seen from a college big man. He can score over either shoulder, and he is very comfortable scoring and passing out of a double team, which is a rare commodity for such a young player.
He averages 17.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.4 blocks per game in 30.7 minutes. He has only failed to score in double figures once in Duke's 31 games this season, and that was in a 94-51 Duke win. He's already shown the ability to be a go-to scorer, which is a must if you are going to be the No.1 pick.
Towns doesn't put up the numbers Okafor does, but that's because he doesn't have to. But there is no proof Towns can consistently be a great scorer. He averages 9.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game in just 20.7 minutes.
With Towns' athletic ability, he has the potential to develop a nice offensive game down the road. If becoming a great offensive player were
easy, every athletic NBA big man would do it.
towns will surely improve offensively, but once his athleticism goes away, he will have to reinvent his game a bit. Okafor, on the other hand, can rely on his masterful post moves.
Defensively, Towns is clearly the superior defender, but that doesn't mean Okafor couldn't make up some ground. Okafer has already shown the ability to protect the rim, averaging 1.4 blocks per game, just not as good as Towns at 2.4. But Okafer has a longer wingspan (7'5" to 7'3" for Towns) and has shown he can block shots without fouling. Okafer has yet to foul out this year, whereas Towns has done so five times while playing 10 fewer minutes per game.
In the NBA, great offense usually trumps great defense. And at the rate Okafar's post game has developed, there is no doubt he will be a great offensive player. As Indiana Pacers coach Frank Vogel once told NBA.com, "I keep trying to tell you guys, great offense beats great defense."

Kansas City Chiefs free agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, center, speaks during his press conference Wednesday afternoon at the Chiefs practice facility.
Kansas City Chiefs immediately upgrade with Jeremy Maclin pick
Chris Sitek
@kanssports
Zero. That's the total number of receiving touchdowns the Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers caught last season.
This stat ranked last in the NFL, so many experts, like ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter and Bleacher Report NFL writer Matt Bowen, emphasized the need for improvement in the wide receiver position for the Chiefs. Schefter and Bowen also advocated for the Chiefs to get more playmakers on that side of the ball in free agency.
So, what do the Chiefs do?
They sign free-agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin to a five-year, $11 million-per-season
deal and reunite the former Philadelphia Eagle standout with his former coach Andy Reid. In his seventh season, Maclin is coming off a career season, hauling in 85 receptions for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns in 16 games last season. He achieved all these numbers after a torn right ACI injury sidelined him in 2013.
Maclin is an immediate upgrade as the Chiefs sign a legitimate, deep-threat, No.1-caliber receiver. Maclin ranked ninth in receiving yards, 12th in receiving touchdowns and sixth in receptions of over 20 yards or more, according to ESPN. He played a huge role in head coach Chip Kelly's fast-pass offense leading the team to a 10-6 record, earning second place
in the NFC East, according to Pro-Football Reference.
Maclin will be an instant impact for the Chiefs, considering they haven't had a 1,000-yard receiver since Dwayne Bowe in 2011.
Maclin began his success collegiately when he shined at the University of Missouri with 182 receptions, 2,315 yards and 22 touchdowns in just two seasons. Maclin then made his way to become the first-round pick in the 2009 NFL draft for the Philadelphia Eagles, where he experienced great success under Reid. Maclin was the primary second option wide receiver behind Desean Jackson from 2009 to 2012 in the West Coast offense.
with 70 catches,964 total yards and 10 total touchdowns, helping the Philadelphia Eagles to a first-place record (10-6) in the NFC East.
With his second-best season in 2010, Maclin led the team
Maclin not only impacts the receiver position, but also affects the Chiefs' special teams as a punt and kick returner. As a punt returner at Missouri, Maclin had 577 career punt-return yards to go along with three touchdowns. As a kick returner, he gained 2,049 total yards and two touchdowns.
The Chiefs were able to sign Jeremy Maclin by the release of receiver Dwayne Bowe, who was scheduled to make $10.75 million next season. This appears to be the start of many moves in the Kansas City Chiefs offseason this year.

2 track and field athletes head to championships
GRAYDON JAMES MELIA
@gjmelia
With the NCAA Indoor track and field Championships scheduled for March 13-14, two athletes are preparing to compete in their respective events this weekend. The Championships are being held in Fayetteville, Ark., in the Randal Tyson Center, hosted by the University of Arkansas.
Senior Lindsay Vollmer enters the weekend coming off a Big 12 title in the women's pentathlon in Ames, Iowa, two weeks ago. Ranked No. 3 in the country, Vollmer will look to bring back an NCAA Championship to Lawrence. Vollmer won the outdoor pentathlon NCAA Championship in 2013.
The other athlete competing is junior Casey Bowen, who is also fresh off a Big 12 Championship in the men's pole vault. Bowen claimed his first conference title by jumping to a height of $17\frac{1}{4} \%$ for the victory.
The pole vault will take place Friday at 3:30 p.m. As for Vollmer, her five events in the pentathlon will begin Saturday morning.
The rest of Kansas' track and field athletes will be preparing for the first meet of the outdoor season at the Texas Relays on March 25. The Texas Relay will take place in Austin, Texas, hosted by the University of Texas.

Kansas turns in poor second half, ends season with 78-65 loss to Wichita State in the Round of 32

@SCHasenKU
"Superior."
That was the word used by coach Bill Self to describe the Wichita State Shockers after the Jayhawks fell in the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year. The Jayhawks lost 78-65.
In a tense game played in front of a raucous crowd, the Shockers showed up on both sides of the ball, whereas the Kansas defense faded down the stretch. The Shockers seemed to have an answer for everything the layhayws threw at them, which led to what Wichita State guard Ron Baker described as one of the biggest games of his career.
"To me, this is probably one of the biggest wins I've been involved with being a Shocker," Baker said after the game. "[I'm] really, really proud of what we have accomplished and thankful that I'm a part of this wonderful group."
Early on, it was the Frank Mason III show in Omaha, Neb., as he scored six of the first eight points for Kansas. The sophomore
guard was getting into the paint at will, and it seemed like the Shockers were going to have trouble with him all game long. However, Self pulled Mason at the 15:31 mark in the first half to give him a quick breather, which changed the dynamic of the game.
Right away, Baker came down the floor and buried a two-point jumper, and on the next Kansas possession, the Jayhawks turned it over. Feeling momentum starting to shift, Self took a timeout to reinsert Mason into the lineup, but the damage had already been done.
The rhythm of the Kansas offense was completely thrown out of whack, as the Jayhawks would score just four points in the next four minutes. The Shockers tied the game up at 12, and the energy in the building grew.
The Kansas offense would eventually get going again, but with 5:45 left in the first half, things would stall. Junior Perry Ellis, tried to jump in front of Fred VanVleet to take a charge, and the resulting collision would lead to VanVleet's elbow smashing right into Ellis' face, although
the contact was certainly inadvertent.
The Shockers would outscore the Jayhawks 13-4 after Ellis left the game, taking a three-point lead into the half, but the problems for the Jayhawks were starting to become clearer.
The Jayhawks needed to find a way to deter the Shockers from getting to the rim, which was one of the problems they've experienced since the loss of freshman Cliff Alexander. Three of the Shockers' last six baskets in the first half were layups, which was a problem that wouldn't go away anytime soon.
Mason got the second half started with another basket that would pull the team within one. But that would be as close as it would get for Kansas. The Jayhawks would see their last lead come at the 1:27 mark in the first half, and starting at the 19-minute mark in the second half, the game would never be closer than four points.
Tekele Cotton started to take over, going on a personal 5-0 run to further extend the Wichita State
lead. Cotton was relatively quiet in the first half, but later came to life over the last 20 minutes when he led all scorers with 14 points. After the game, Cotton was positive about his overall performance, and he even joked about his game with the media.
BILL SELF
Kansas basketball coach
"They're a very well-coached, solid, talented basketball team. [They] certainly deserve to be moving on."
"I think I probably surprised them a little bit," Cotton said of the jayhawks.
However, it wasn't a one-man show for the Shockers, who had five players score in double figures. But one in particular seemed to be the most unlikely of the bunch in terms of scoring.
OPINION 5
A&F 6
Wichita State's Evan Wessel came into the showdown averaging just 4.1 points per game and was scoreless in the team's last outing against
While typically soft-spoken, Wessel was more than happy with his performance, although he was also quick to give credit to his teammates. Wessel said it was how they attacked as a whole that led to him getting open shots, and it was "definitely up there" as one of the best games of his career.

SPORTS 12
When Wessel started to get going, Kansas freshman guard Devonte' Graham helped keep the Jayhawks close, scoring most of his points in the second half. But when it came down to it, the Jayhawks couldn't get any stops, which was the reason they never got the deficit down to less than nine points over the last 16 minutes of the game.
the Indiana Hoosiers. However, he certainly rose to the occasion knocking down four three-point shots, much to the chagrin of Self.
"Wessel is as tough as any 6-foot-7 or 6-foot-8 forward out there," Self said after the game.
"They were getting anywhere they wanted to go off ball screens in the second half," Self said after the game. "They were able
Too many things went wrong for the Jayhawks to defeat a good Wichita State team, and when the buzzer sounded, it was all over for Kansas.
In fact, outside of the point guards, Graham and Mason, the Jayhawks shot 0-of-8 from three point range while Wichita State lit up the scoreboard at a blistering 10-of-20 from behind the arc.
When it was all said and done, the Jayhawks lost by 13 points in a game where little went right. The tandem of Wayne Selden Jr. and Kelly Oubre Jr. really struggled to do much of anything, combining to shoot just 3-of-14 from the field and 0-of-4 from the three, with four turnovers to just one assist.
to drive the ball downhill and got the ball in tight and forced help."
"They're a very well-coached, solid, talented basketball team," Self said. "[They] certainly deserve to be moving on."

Mariyllyn Chavez, president of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization on compus and senior from Manhattan, shows emotion as she speaks at the group's open meeting Thursday. March 12, Jameelah Jones, Student Senate's director of diversity and inclusion, moderated the meeting that was in response to the #ImNotPaco event.

ImNotPaco sparks diversity discussions
MACKENZIE CLARK
@mclark59
As campus fell quiet in the days preceding spring break, students' and faculty members' voices echoed through the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center with an overarching message: Diversity is a problem at the University
The Hispanic American Leadership Organization (HALO) opened its weekly meeting to the public Thursday, March 12. The following day, the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) hosted an open forum, "Community Conversations: Addressing Racism on Campuses."
"I used to think that invisibility was a superpower, and then things like this happen, and then I realize it is not." Gomez Montoya said.
At the meetings, students and faculty members shared their opinions about diversity on campus, individual experiences with respect to their identities and potential ideas to move toward a more inclusive and sensitive campus environment.
The purpose of the open HALO meeting was for group members to share their feelings about "Paco" a character in a Rock Chalk Revue skit the previous weekend.
Gomez Montoya, a retention specialist for the OMA, said approximately one-fourth of the students in the room had come to his office during the week.
Marilyn Chavez, president of HALO and senior from Manhattan, described Paco as a "stereotypical Hispanic man" who wore a rainbow poncho, sombrero and drawn-on mustache. Following the show, members of HALO began tweeting about the character using the hashtag "#ImNotPaco."
Nearly a dozen HALO students and the group's former adviser Mauricio Gomez Montoya addressed the crowd of approximately 150 attendees.
"They've been breaking
down, and it hurts," he said. "It hurts to see them, and it hurts to be them, and it hurts to be invisible"
Jameelah Jones, Student Senate's director of diversity and inclusion, served as moderator for the meeting.
"This forum is about how [HALO members] felt in the situation and how they felt because of this," Jones said. "Those feelings are not invalid whether or not they saw the performance."
Carla Rivas-D'Amico,
a sophomore and HALO
member from Lee's Summit.
Mao, said she was encouraged
by the "overflowing" room. She
said she hopes in the future,
attendees will apply what they
learned that evening.
"If you think something might be offensive, if you think it's kind of racist, then it probably is." Rivas-D'Amico said to the group. "If you have that feeling, that feeling is probably correct, and you should probably re-evaluate and readjust."
“This event has consumed my life,” she said. “I try to go to class and I look around at the people around me and I wonder, 'Were they a part of this event? Is this
Chavez, who opened the meeting, was also the last HALO member to speak.
how they represent me and my family? Is this what they think of me?"
Chavez said she is "tired of this happening again and again."
"It's a really big deal to me, and that matters. I matter," she said.
The OMA forum the following day was intended to address the incident at Rock Chalk Revue, a viral video of a racist chant by members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at the University of Oklahoma and the impact of these events on the campus community and climate. About 100 people attended.
Blane Harding, director of the OMA, said one of the issues is people don't understand how the language they use is offensive to others.
"We've got to educate the entire campus because it cannot be the sole responsibility of the Office of Multicultural Affairs to hold these forums every single time something happens," Harding said. "We've got to be able to proactive from this point on."
Students discussed issues of race, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, cultural misappropriation, mental illness and more.

One student said even in
"We've got to educate the entire campus because it cannot be the sole responsibility of the Office of Multicultural Affairs to hold these forums every single time something happens."
BLANE HARDING Director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs
“[Diversity] has not been institutionalized at all — it comes in fragments” from certain offices and individuals, Harding said.
Patrick Baki, the sophomore who played Paco in the Rock Chalk Revue skit, attended the meeting with his father, mother and sister. He said he "felt sick to [his] stomach" when he heard about "#ImNotPaco" trending on Twitter.
Baki said it "breaks his heart" to hear how others have struggled and feels he is lucky for his experience so far at the University.
"It was so unintentional, but I don't think that matters," he said.
"That's not fair - I think this should be a place where all people should feel welcome and truly have the best experience possible," he said.
Ramiro Sarmiento, president of the Multicultural Greek Council, said a part of the problem is that students have to ask the administration and campus organizations for a statement when diversity issues do arise.
"If you're on my side, why do I have to convince you to say something?" Sarmiento said.
Toward the end of the OMA discussion, Harding asked students to propose solutions. One student suggested freshman orientation could include more extensive measures. In addition to the mandatory online sexual harassment and alcohol training all students complete, the University could require sensitivity training.
If we haven't introduced that topic to the freshmen and talked about how important it is, and critical to their education, how are they going to think it's important?" Harding said.
Harding also said it should be the responsibility of all the individual schools and colleges of the University to educate their own students.
Nate Thomas, vice provost for diversity and equity, said students should continue to push for a change.
"Pushing gives us power and that power allows us to move with swiftness." Thomas said at the meeting. "It's now time for KU to step up and be great and especially be great around diversity."
Harding said the OMA plans to hold regular meetings to continue the conversation.
"We're here to serve students personally, culturally, socially -- that's our job." Harding said.

Students' KU email accounts represent University
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
At the University there are several utilities that are often underrated or overlooked, and one common thing students take for granted is their KU email accounts.
David Day, director of IT External Affairs, said KU email is a huge help in communication on campus.
"In 2014, we delivered more than 576 million email messages — about 19,200 emails for each student, faculty member and staff member at KU." Day said.
That adds up to more than 1,000 emails delivered per minute. Day said IT also backs up about 25TB of email annually.
"That information would fit on approximately 33,000 CD-ROMs," Day said. "That's a stack (inside plastic cases) 866 feet high — or about every player Bill Self has coached over the past 10 years standing on each other's shoulders, assuming the average player height is 6-foot-6."
According to him, it would take more than 3,200 DVDs to hold 25TB of information, a stack (inside cases) 25 feet high. Day said laid end to, end, 3200 DVDs in
TIPS FOR KU EMAIL
Students should be aware they are officially representing the University while using their KU emails.
-KU Information Technology works constantly to divert spam and other malicious content from our KU Emails.
"The best advice is to always be respectful in your communications and keep in mind that your KU email address identifies you an ambassador of the University." Day said.
"Email makes it so easy to fire off a message or response and so hard or impossible to take it back once sent, so think before you click 'Send.'"
One thing students don't see a lot of in their inboxes is spam. Day said Information Technology blocks more than 1 billion email spam messages per year that never make it to student, faculty or staff

or example, if you search "john" in the online KU directory, you'll get the following message: "Too many entries for Name or Email like: *John*. Try narrowing your search, or using the advanced search."
Day said aside from blocking spam, there is rarely any problems with KU email.
"While emails are available and can be matched to names, it cannot be done in large batches, making it inefficient for spammers," Day said.
mailboxes. The University has a number of controls in place to help limit spam.
"Of course, unexpected issues always arise when dealing with technology. While it can be frustrating when email — or any IT service — is not available, KU email has an average uptime of about 99.9 percent," Day said. Day said the primary purpose of KU email is to advance the mission of the University and support the academic and research goals of students, faculty and staff.
"KU email is the official address for sending important
"In all cases, students, faculty and staff should remember that when using a KU email address, they are representing the University of Kansas and identifying themselves as members of the University community. So we obviously hope they will be positive ambassadors of KU and reflect the values and integrity of the University," Day said.
Day said students are encouraged to use their KU email as a personal email address if they choose. He said KU email for faculty and staff is intended for work purposes, though incidental use is permitted with some caveats

University libraries offer resources of all kinds
KATIYN BALLARD/KANSAN
Reference books are only a single part of the resources offered at libraries across campus like Anschutz and Watson. According to Rebecca Smith, the libraries' executive director of communications, advancement and administration, the libraries on the Lawrence and Edwards campuses see 1.5 million visitors a year.
KATHERINE HARTLEY
@kat_hart9
Overstended students chugging coffee, rushing to cram for that exam. Groups working diligently in order to finish the big project in time. And, most likely, at least one head on a desk, finally catching a few moments of much-needed sleep.
These scenes are what greet students upon entering Anschutz or Watson libraries on any given school day.
During the course of a year, over 1.5 million students visit the libraries on the University's Lawrence campus and the Regent Center Library on the Edward campus. Anschutz visitors comprise about three-fourths of these students and Watson visitors number around 400,000, said Rebecca Smith, the libraries' executive director of communications, advancement and administration.
"Every decision that we make related to the physical library spaces is based on data that we have documented over the course of a number of years," Smith said. "That's why Anschutz is open for an extended period of time. We have extended hours in Watson, too, so we're really open when students are needing to have that space available to them.
The libraries are also adjusting to the shift from physical to digital tools to better fulfill the needs of their users. In recent years, the use of e-resources has grown significantly while book checkouts have decreased Smith said.
For example, she said the search engine that appears on the libraries' homepage saw 21 percent increase in the number of searches from 2013 to 2014. Overall website traffic went up by 19 percent and the searches on the aggregator database, Academic Search Complete,
grew by 6,500.
"I would say we have not seen significant increases in the number of books that are checked out, and I think that that correlates pretty directly to the increase in availability of online materials," Smith said. "So that online access has gone up pretty substantially."
The libraries don't only focus on current students, but incoming students as well, in an effort to improve services for all.
"Over the last few years we've collaborated very strongly with the Office of First-Year Experience and we have a session with every University 101 class, every first-year seminar and close to every one of the Honors Freshmen seminars as well," said Erin Ellis, assistant dean of research and learning. "So, if I were to guess, because of those efforts, I
would assume that we're seeing a little more freshman traffic than prior to those."
To better understand the demographics of their users, the libraries have also been gathering data on who is using their physical locations.
"Anschutz is, not exclusively but heavily, undergrad, as opposed to faculty and graduate students," said Jeromy Horkman, head of user services. "Watson, in contrast, is much more representative as far as the campus population's percentage of undergrads, percentage of grads and percentage of faculty and staff that are in the building using the resources."
Horkman said the physical location of the buildings plays a part in the different groups that take advantage of them.
This data comes from different snapshot surveys that the libraries do, in which they canvas and ask people entering the building to identify who they are or what they plan to do, and get feedback and comments
we've made an effort to really open up and capitalize on its popularity as a study space and destination for reaching out for the Learning Studio as well. I think it's just situated in the right spot for undergrads."
to improve services, according to Horkman.
Watson, on the other hand, offers more humanities and social science resources, which could be what draws more faculty there, Horkman said.
"Everything we do is really with that and result of improving academic success for students; that's the forefront of everything."
“[Anschutz] is right at the crossroads of a lot of the large seminars,” he said. “it's really at the hub of campus and campus activity, and I think you can tell

"I think that [Anschutz] is just a place that accommodates so many different needs." Ellis said.
"We've purposefully tried to locate student support services in that location, too, so you don't have to leave the building necessarily to get your tutoring or to go get a cup of coffee or meet with your group after class. It's just a very convenient place to do so many things."
from a student fee, which is $1 per credit hour and is currently split among the needs of the libraries, Communications Coordinator LeAnn Meyer said.
The amount of resources offered on the Lawrence campus and the purchase of these expensive electronic tools support the goals of the libraries to align everything with the chancellor's goals of retention and improving academic success, Smith said.
"One of the things that is important to keep in mind is that a vast majority of our expenditures support e-resources," Smith said. "So we're buying in the neighborhood of 70 to 75 percent electronic versus print, which is something that shifted just in my short number of years here. The cost of electronic resources is exorbitant; it's truly astonishing."
"Everything we do is really with that end result of improving academic success for students; that's the forefront of everything," she said.
"There is a student advisory board made up of undergraduate students who take on certain initiatives," she said. "It's completely student-run and promoted. They are actually seeking a student fee increase to help support both services and collections because of the need. Most of our peer institutions are actually between the $3 and $5 per credit hour range, while we have been steady at $1 for more than a decade."
Those electronic resources are some of the biggest expenses. The library has access to roughly 400 databases and 110,000 journals. Some of these journals, such as the Journal of Science, cost up to $8,000 per month.

One-and-done culture hurts athletes

@mphuwe
according to ESPN With or without a college
students for leaving school in order to earn millions of dollars? Of course not, but people must realize that these players are kids. Wiggins was only 19 when he entered the draft, and Embiid was 20. Neither of them could legally drink alcohol. As March Madness is upon us, it will be time for basketball teams across the nation to say goodbye to some incredibly talented players. It should be time we change the one-and-done culture.
To be eligible for the NFL, a player must be three years out of high school, according to CBS Sports. In those three years, students have time to mature. This rule allows student athletes a chance to experience college without the pressure of leaving after only one season. While football and basketball are two completely different sports, the NBA could take a few pointers from the NFL draft.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver has spoken openly about wanting the draft age limit raised from 19 to 20, CBS Sports reported. However, the NBA needs to take this a step further.
Joel Embiid and Andrew Wiggins were two of my favorite players to watch last season. Wiggins was great from the start of the season. While there's always room for improvement, he was a natural. With Embiid, we watched as he grew and became a phenomenal player. I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry when Embiid announced he was leaving. I knew Wiggins would be gone, but I had hoped Embiid would stick around.
Can we blame these
Student athletes should obtain their degrees before entering the NBA. This offers students the chance to grow as an athlete, as well as providing them with valuable life skills. An undergraduate degree gives professional athletes a back-up plan if they were to get an injury or illness that prevents them from athletic activities.
in the NBA. While I may not agree with the order,
There are examples of NBA players who later realized they wanted to graduate. Ben McLemore returned to the University last summer to take classes and continue his college degree. Two other prominent NBA players, Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal, also went back to earn their undergraduate degrees once
"ONE-AND-DONE PLAYERS ARE DOING A DISSERVICE NOT ONLY TO THE NCAA, BUT ALSO TO THE NBA. GIVEN A COUPLE MORE YEARS, PLAYERS COULD USE THE TIME TO REFINE THEIR TALENT."
it is respectable that these individuals valued their education enough to go back for their degrees.
One-and-done players are doing a disservice not only to the NCAA, but also to the NBA. Given a couple more years, players could use the time to refine their talent. Take Perry Ellis for example. During Ellis' freshman year, he was averaging 5.8 points per game and 3.9 rebounds. Now, he is averaging 14.2 points per game and seven rebounds per game,
degree, college athletes going to the NBA will become millionaires.
However, there's no harm in letting them mature for a few more years for both the NCAA and NBA's sake. College basketball is a fun experience and allows all students — not just athletes — time to grow as individuals.

What's the best way to get in shape?
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritz
Getting in shape isn't just about looking good in a swimsuit; it's about giving yourself the body you deserve, while conquering one of the biggest obstacles in our lives.
The toughest part about getting in shape is not the actual act as some people may believe. The difficult part is figuring out how. Everybody is built differently. What might work for someone may not work for someone else. Another tricky thing about our bodies is that they directly reflect how we treat them.
What I found to be most helpful in getting and staying in shape is this: You gain muscle in the gym and lose weight in the kitchen. Lifting weights is a great way to get in shape. Yes, girls, that means you, too. You have control over your body; if

Cutting out small things like chocolate or soda is a good starting place. Mastering healthy eating will help you get stronger in the gym. Getting in shape is hard and a long journey, but the human body does not lie. Put in the hard work, and your body will reflect it.
If you were wanting to maintain your weight, that might be all right, but if you're trying to change your body for the better, having this mentality will be the death of your fitness journey
University must provide more lighting on campus
Madeline Umali
@madelineumali
As I was walking home from Anschutz, I noticed how dark our campus is at night. I immediately picked up the pace because I felt like something bad was going to happen. I didn't feel safe
Although the Alumni Association has made lighting improvements to Jayhawk Boulevard by changing previous streetlights to LED, this is not enough. The Alumni Association acknowledged that the improvement was made to enhance student safety. However, some students still feel unsafe. The University needs to increase the number of streetlights if it wants student safety to improve.
KU Endowment has provided a lot of information about Jayhawk Boulevard's renovations; however, the number of streetlights is barely addressed. The money
"A WELL-LIT CAMPUS IS A SAFE CAMPUS. STUDENT SAFETY SHOULD BE THE UNIVERSITY'S MAIN PRIORITY BY IMPROVING THE LIGHTING SITUATION, THE UNIVERSITYWOULD BE TAKING PREVENTATIVE STEPS IN IMPROVING STUDENT SAFETY."
When I got home, I asked my friends if they had ever felt uncomfortable when walking alone on campus at night. Their feelings were the same as mine. This made me realize how necessary adequate lighting is on campus, and the University needs to make improvements quickly.
spent on landscaping should be used to add more lighting, both on Jayhawk Boulevard and other campus locations including housing, the Rec Center and Sunnyside Avenue.
In addition to adding more streetlights, the University should also
increase the number of emergency blue phones. The blue phones found outside have overhead lights that provide additional lighting throughout campus. There is a total of 37 emergency blue phones, and although they are some of the best resources for student safety, the majority of these phones are found inside buildings. This number needs to increase. We should have access to an emergency blue phone between every building. This access allows for a safer environment and adequate lighting.
According to the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing, improved street lighting is an effective way of preventing crime. Although adding more streetlights won't completely eliminate crime, it is a solution that could potentially reduce the number of crimes.
Adding more lighting on the University's campus is a simple solution to this public safety issue.
A well-lit campus is a safe campus. Student safety should be the University's main priority. By improving the lighting situation, the University would be taking preventative steps in improving student safety.

KENDRICK LAMAR
New album makes bold statement with social commentary
LILY GRANT
@lilygrant_UDK
"To Pimp a Butterfly" (Aftermath/ Interscope) is rapper Kendrick Lamar's third studio album. The original release date was March 23, but the album surprisingly dropped a week in advance. The album artwork features Lamar and several of his peers in front of the White House with stacks of money and bottles of champagne, suggesting an antigovernment, pro-black culture theme.
FAVORITE TRACKS
U
Kendrick Lamar fans patiently waited for two and a half years after the release of "good kid, m.A.A.d city" for the man some call the greatest rapper of our generation to release another album. Expectations were at an all-time high and Lamar did not let us down. "Butterfly" is not just an album; it's a genius compilation of jazzy, funky rap songs that incorporate spoken word and samples of music and interviews to ruthlessly call out our flawed social system that oppresses black people.
Racism is very much alive today, and Lamar boldly and rampantly calls for immediate change, using the album as a channel for his emotions.
In an industry flooded with artists who choose to rap about fame, women and money, Lamar uses his talent and status as a platform to make everyone who hears his music aware of the problems faced by black people. The album has themes of anti-consumerism and antimaterialism, self-reflection and self-criticism, racism and violence.
“u” is a direct juxtaposition to the positive, upbeat song about self-love, “i,” which was released as a single in September 2014. Lamar pours his heart and soul into “u,” where he raywals about his battle with depression and alcoholism. He criticizes himself as a failure, repeatedly condemning himself saying, “loving you is complicated.” In an interview with Rolling Stone, Lamar said, “Anybody reading or listening who may be asking these questions of themselves, just remember, from u’ you will eventually reach ‘i.’ With
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
Kendrick Lamar is here to start a new era in rap, or at least he's going to try. On Lamar's new album "To Pimp A Butterfly," (Aftermath/Interscope) Lamar says, "I can just alleviate the rap industry politics," a claim so many artists have made in the past without prevail. But here, for once, that line is believable.
Atter Ferguson, Trayvon Martin and other recent instances of violence against the black community, Lamar couldn't have picked a more perfect time to release this album. He's not afraid to speak up, which he made clear when he told The New York Times, "I want you to feel uncomfortable."

PARENTAL ADVISORY CONTENT
benevolent.
The groovy, jazz-infused and smooth, dreamy neo-soul sounds throughout the album might be a new sound to many listeners, but Lamar's
"To Pimp a Butterfly" is a legendary piece of literature, and everyone, young people especially, should listen and pay attention. This album does not have radio hits. This album has a story to tell and should be listened to from start to finish to fully appreciate Lamar's intent.
The album takes us on Lamar's journey as he opens by rapping about social injustice, takes us into the darkest parts of his mind, and finally realizes his worth and potential and evolves into a butterfly. Lamar uses his brilliant lyricism to make this the most important album of our time and one of history's greatest musical contributions.
this album, Lamar communicates that from a dark place of depression and self-hatred, one can emerge in a place of self-love.
Favorite Line: "Loving you is complicated."
message and ideas reign supreme on the Compton product's third LP. Unlike "good kid, m.A.A.d. city" (GKMC), which told a story of Lamar as a teen in his home, Lamar gives out the aesthetic of a television show on this album, with characters, voice actors (mostly played by Lamar) and sound effects to play along with it.
MORTAL MAN
But this was no surprise; Lamar has never lacked creativity or personality. He has always had plenty to say and he has managed to create catch hip-hop hits while remaining socially aware.
This mantra is echoed in a metaphorical poem at the end of the album's final track, "Mortal Man," which encompasses all of the themes expressed throughout the album and brings it
GKMC was widely considered his best performance yet, and the hiphop community was left wondering where he would go next. With his late-2014 single "i," it felt as if he may go for a more pop-infused, mainstream record. Then he went and did the exact opposite. He made music that was nothing like we've ever heard before.
Lamar constantly changes his flow, voice and rhythm, and the instrumentation on his new album, which can be attributed to a wide variety of producers from Flying Lotus to George Clinton of Parliament Funkadelic. We get hardcore hip-hop with a touch of '90s inspiration in the background on "Blacker the Berry" but smooth funk on "These Walls."
But this record is much more than music; it's a clear and blanketing message that intends to influence race relations and the world as a whole. Although Lamar puts his effort and focus into those changes, he is conscious that, in the end, these efforts could be fruitless. But, regardless, it's worth his effort, if only to shift the scale on the issues he raps about by just an inch.
While Lamar has established his claim to the throne, he has an unwarranted amount of self-awareness, especially on this record. In Lamar, we see a rapper who has transformed himself, going through a metamorphosis in a matter of years in attempts to reinvigorate hip-hop.
Finally, the industry has a face that can lead it as it turns its back on the "bling" era and moves into the next stage of its relatively short existence. That face is Kendrick Lamar.
FAVORITE TRACKS
INSTITUTIONALIZED (FT. ANNA WISE,
BILAL, SNOOP DOGG)
This is a hard-hitting track where Lamar uses one of his friends, who he took to an awards show, as a double entendre to condemn the institutions of money, gang violence and envy. The metaphor of institutionalization also extends to Lamar, who can't ever take the hood out of his blood, no matter how successful he becomes. It's a multi-dimensional track with a hoist of beat shifts, including one that's helped along by Snoop Dogg. It's a perfect representation of Lamar's varying flows and tones throughout the album, which are drastically different from the first half to the

Allman film director: Georgia train crash 'my responsibility'
CBC
Film director Randall Miller arrives at the west coast special screening of "CBGB" at ArcLight Hollywood in Los Angeles in October 2013. Miller, the director of an ill-fated movie about singer Gregg Allman said Friday that it's "ultimately my responsibility" that his crew ended up on a Georgia railroad bridge in the path of a freight train that killed a camera assistant.
RUSS BYNUM Associated Press
PAUL A. HEBERT/ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAVANNAH, Ga. — The director of an ill-fated movie about singer Gregg Allman said Friday that it's "ultimately my responsibility" that his crew ended up on a Georgia railroad bridge in the path of a freight train that killed a camera assistant.
"Midnight Rider" director Randall Miller issued a statement to The Associated Press less than two weeks after he pleaded guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter and criminal trespassing. A judge sentenced him to two years in jail in rural Wayne County, where 27-year-old Sarah Jones of Atlanta died in the train crash Feb. 20, 2014. Six others also were injured.
"It was a horrible tragedy that will haunt me forever," Miller said in a statement provided to The AP by a publicist. "Although I relied on my team, it is ultimately my responsibility and was my decision to shoot the scripted scene that caused this tragedy."
Miller said he hoped his guilty plea had spared Jones' family from the anguish of having to relive the crash at a trial. But he also denied he alone was to blame. He said "a great number of mistakes were made" by his assistants on the film crew, but acknowledged that he had failed to ensure "every safety measure was in place."
"I have taken responsibility
because I could have asked more questions and I was the one in charge," Miller said.
Prosecuters said they had emails from CSX Transportation, which owns the railroad bridge spanning the Altamaha River, showing Miller's crew had twice been denied permission to film a scene on the tracks where the crash occurred.
Miller pleaded guilty March 9, the day a jury was to be selected for his trial. Assistant District Attorney John B. Johnson said Miller and others knew they had been denied permission to access the
railroad trestle because they attempted to rewrite the script to drop the scene they planned to shoot with actor William Hurt — in the role of Allman — in a hospital bed placed on the tracks.
Miller decided to shoot the scene anyway, Johnson said, after the owner of the property surrounding the tracks said the movie crew could access its land. He said Miller and his crew went onto the railroad bridge after mistakenly thinking no more trains would pass that day.
Jay Sedrish, the movie's executive producer, also
pleaded guilty and assistant director Hillary Schwartz was convicted after opting for the judge to decide her case in a short bench trial. Both were sentenced to 10 years on probation for the same charges Miller faced.
Miller also was sentenced to serve eight years on probation following his jail term and was ordered to pay a $20,000 fine. He said he pleaded guilty in part to protect his wife and business partner, Jody Savin, and their children. Charges against Savin were dropped as a condition of her husband's guilty plea.
full-circle. In this 12-minute and seven-second track, Lamar drops the names of historically significant leaders that came before him, including Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. Lamar samples a rare interview conducted with 2Pac just two weeks before his murder and replaces the original interviewer's voice with his own. Lamar calls himself an "offspring of the legacy you (2Pac) left behind," meaning that Lamar plans to advocate for justice, as 2Pac and many other civil rights activists did before him.
KENDRICK FROM PAGE 6
The metaphor in the poem
is about the transformation of a "caterpillar," someone in a depressed, self-hating state of mind, to a "butterfly," someone who has realized his potential and is using it to create and inspire. At the end of the poem, he says, "although the butterfly and the caterpillar are completely different, they are one in the same," signifying that everyone has potential and is capable of change.
Favorite Line: "The ghost of Mandela hope my flows they prop it/Let my word be your earth and moon and you consume every message/As I lead this army make room for mistakes and depression."

Favorite line: "I'm trapped inside the ghetto and I ain't proud to admit it/Institutionalized I keep runnin' back for a visit."
Along with "i," this is the album's conceptual centerpiece, if there is one. Lamar puts a lot of blame and bad evils onto himself in this track, though he doesn't exactly blame himself directly.
Lamar assumes responsibility for some bad things that have happened to his friends and family, including a good friend
dying while he was overseas and never going to visit him in the hospital. Toward the end of the track he touches on suicidal thoughts and depression and hints at being bipolar as his voice fluctuates and cracks through the last two verses. The track includes the sounds of Lamar gulping alcohol, lips smacking and bottles hitting a tile floor, as if you were right there with him during an emotional breakdown.
Favorite line: "And if those mirrors could talk it would say 'you gotta go'/And if I told your secrets/The world'll know money can't stop a suicidal weakness."

Sporting KC plays to 0-0 draw, shows improvement
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
MUJESTAN 16 NEW YORK Red Bulls MILLER 7 NEW YORK Red Bulls MCART 11 NRIGHT-PHILLIPS 99 NEW YORK Red Bulls
Forward Krisztian Nemeth goes up to hit a clean header in the first half of Sporting KC's match against the New York Red Bulls on March 7. Kansas City played to a 1-1 draw
It wasn't exciting, and it wasn't pretty, but Sporting Kansas City earned a point Sunday against the Portland Timbers as the two teams played to a rather uneventful 0-0 draw.
Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Luis Marin tabbed his first clean sheet of the year with three saves on the day, and defense looked greatly improved from the squad that allowed three goals to FC Dallas in its previous match.
Part of that success could be attributed to the return of center back and captain Matt Besler, who missed the game against FC Dallas last week. Another part of that was Besler's counterpart, defender Ike Opara, who leads the MLS in interceptions with 20 after notching eight Sunday.
"We've had three different lineups defensively in the first three games, but all the guys have worked hard and given their all," Opara said. "Tonight it finally gelled for the full 90 minutes. For the first two games, I thought we were good at times defensively, but we had a couple lapses. Tonight we did a good job of minimizing those lapses."
Two of Sporting Kansas City's best chances came off the head of Opara on two fantastic set pieces from the team, but he couldn't capitalize on either, as he blatantly shanked a point-blank shot while another was saved.
"I think Ike should have put one of his two away," manager Peter Vermes said. "The chances we had that were more clean-cut, we should have walked away with three [points] but I thought that he
did well."
The third match of the season gave Vermes a chance to evaluate a few new faces as well. Jimmy Medranda made his second MLS start of his career in place of the injured Krisztian Nemeth who was a surprise scratch at the left wing. Defender Jalil Anibaba made his career debut for Sporting Kansas City at left back.
"(Anibaba) was excellent, he really was," Vermes said. "He was great in his individual duels. ... At the same time, I thought he was pretty dangerous on a couple of set pieces. He almost had a diving header in the first half and he had that one that just squeaked past the post late in the second half."
in its lineup and its new formation.
"It's more important at this point in the season to improve on the field, and I think we did," midfielder Benny Feilhaber said. "I think we played better this game than we did against New York, and it was definitely a better performance than in Dallas."
Sporting KC will travel to Yankee Stadium next Saturday to take on New York City FC, which also played to a scoreless draw Saturday. First kick will be at 6 p.m. CST.
"We know it's a long season," Anibaba said. "It's not just about climbing up the table, but keeping things in perspective. We know what type of football we're capable of, and I thought we showed good spurts of that tonight."

BASKETBALL REWIND
HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
Kansas got off to a solid start on the offensive end. Frank Mason Ill posted nine points on 3-of-6 shooting from the field. The Jayhawks led most of the first half, but entered the locker room trailing by three, due to-the 3-point shooting of Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker. Landen Lucas pulled down nine rebounds, including three offensive, but failed to score. Wayne Selden Jr. struggled from the floor, failing to score a point and turned the ball over once. Kansas recorded 10 team fouls and had four players with two fouls. Wichita State led 29-26 at the break.
2ND HALF
The defense fell apart as the Jayhawks allowed 44 points in the last 17 minutes of the game, after allowing 34 through the first 23 minutes. Evan Wessel led the charge, with 14 second-half points, as the Shockers held no less than a nine-point advantage in the last 15 minutes of the game, winning comfortably, despite a combined 22 second half points from Devonte' Graham and Perry Ellis. At the final buzzer, the Shockers outscored the Jayhawks by 10 points in the second half, winning 78-65.

Graham kept Kansas in the game knocking down big three-pointers in the second half. Graham finished the game shooting 5-for-13 from the field and 3-for-8 from behind the arc.The freshman was Kansas' leading scorer with 17 points, 13 in the second half, and had five steals against the Shockers.

The only category Selden didn't leave a blank was rebounding — he recorded one. He only played 23 minutes, due to his ineffectiveness. Due to his lack of scoring, Self only played Selden seven minutes in the second half when the game really mattered. If that doesn't tell you Selden had a game to forget, I don't know what does.
Lucas was huge for the Jayhawks, both metaphorically and physically. He gathered 10 rebounds, four of which came on the offensive glass. Lucas' lone-made field goal came on a dunk. His negative plus/minus score tied for the second best on the team, but with players who appeared for more than five minutes.

Softball sets records in Rock Chalk Challenge sweep
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
No. 22 Kansas remained undefeated at home this weekend as it defeated Eastern Michigan, UMKC and Georgia State in the Rock Chalk Challenge at Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park. In addition to the Jayhawks expanding their season record to 29-2, a couple Jayhawks recorded some impressive milestones on Sunday.
Sunday was a good day for Kansas senior Maddie Stein and coach Megan Smith. Stein and Smith both set new milestones in Kansas' 5-4 victory against Georgia State.
JAYHAWKS REACH MILESTONES IN SUNDAY'S WIN
Stein, then sitting on 140 career RBIs, claimed the record outright in the fifth inning with a solo home run to give the Jayhawks a 5-4 lead. Stein passed former teammate Maggie Hull-Tietz with her 141st RBI.
MEGAN SMITH
Softball coach
"[Stein] is a great representative of Kansas softball, and for her to be the one that breaks that record makes it even more special."
"It's pretty cool. You don't come into a school saying you are going to do stuff like that.
I have had a lot of people pulling for me and it's really great to accomplish something like that," Stein said, according to a University press release.
Smith put her coaching milestone on the back-burner to celebrate Stein's achievement.
"That was huge for her because she is such a great kid," Smith said, according to a University press release. "She loves Kansas and she has worked really hard. She's not selfish. She loves her teammates and she does anything she can for anyone, including our entire athletic department. She is a great representative of Kansas softball, and for her to be the one that breaks that record makes it even more special."
Stein's fifth-inning home run also gave Smith her 300th career victory as a head coach. Smith is responsible for four, soon to be five, consecutive 30-win seasons at Kansas.
"I'm more excited about Maddie's [record] than my own. But 300 wins, that's awesome," Smith said, according to a press release. "I've been a part of some great programs, great players and great assistant coaches. It's really the players that go out and play for me; it's not about me. I'm really proud to do that here at Kansas because I'm really proud to be a jayhawk and be here at KU."
Junior Chaley Brickey led the offense with one hit, three RBIs and two runs scored. Freshman Daniella Chavez
recorded one hit and one RBL
Stein recorded one hit, one
RBI and one run scored.
Senior Alicia Pille recorded her 18th win as pitcher for the Jayhawks this season. She struck out five batters while allowing six hits and four runs.
JAYHAWKS SWEEP ROCK-CHALK
CHALLENGE
The Jayhawks held strong at home, holding an 8-0 record at Arrocha Ballpark this season.
Kansas began the weekend by defeating Eastern Michigan by a score of 13-2 Friday. The team then followed up that win with a 5-2 victory against UMKC later that day. On Saturday, Kansas had to hold on to earn the first of two weekend victories
against Georgia State. Kansas defeated Georgia State 8-6 on Saturday and 5-4 Sunday morning.
Up next, Kansas will prepare for a midweek matchup against Drake before opening conference play Friday against Texas. Both games will be televised on ESPN3.
"I think we have done what we are supposed to do in nonconference," Smith said, according to a University press release. "We have one more game Tuesday against a really good Drake team, but we have taken care of business in nonconference, which was our goal. Once we get into conference it's a battle every day and so we are ready to fight every single game that we play in nonconference."

This season, her best finish was in the 400-yard individual medley, where she finished 13th, besting her appearance from last season. She finished with a time of 4:08.77, her second fastest time of the season.
"This is all a process of learning how to swim at a high level, and Chelsia has definitely made strides over the last year," coach Clark Campbell said after her race Friday. "It's definitely good to see the growth over one year, especially with next year being an Olympic year."
On Saturday, Miller finished 29th in the 1,650-yard freestyle in a time of 16:17.02. She finished eight seconds slower than her showing at the championships last season.
Miller placed 55th in the 200-yard IM Thursday, finishing with a time of 1:59.97. The sub-two minute time was not her career best, but was among some of her best times. Miller's best time in the event was clocked at the 2015 Big 12 Championships.
"I can't wait to get going." Campbell said of next season. "The team will get another week off and then getting ready for summer on March 30. In the short term, we're looking towards the summer, but next year begins now. How we do this summer will segway into the collegiate season."

Georgia State magic brings NCAA tournament an all-time moment
upsets happen every year in the NCAA tournament, but not all upsets become
instant classics. Georgia State's short run was not only a massive upset, but will go down as one of the most special moments in the history of the tournament.
Down double digits with two minutes left in the game, the Georgia State Panthers and coach Ron Hunter were all but finished against the three-seed Baylor Bears. After a dramatic entrance into the tournament, Georgia State needed a miracle to come back and defeat the Bears
Sean Collins
@seanzie_3
In the Sun Belt Conference championship, the Panthers won 38-36 in an ugly offensive exhibition. The story of the game was Hunter's son, junior R.J Hunter, who hit clutch free throws to send the Panthers to the NCAA tournament.
During the celebration for making it
to the big dance, Ron Hunter hurt his ankle and was carried to the sideline to ice it. After suffering a torn Achilles, Ron Hunter was forced to wear a leg cast and roll around on a scooter at the NCAA tournament. Hunter had to coach from the sideline on a rolling stool for the first round of the tournament and would make the victory even more emotional.
The Panthers went on a 13-0 run against Baylor in the final couple minutes of the round of 64. Twelve of those points were scored by R.J. Hunter, including one of the biggest shots in the history of the tournament. After Baylor missed a free throw, Georgia State pulled in the rebound With
and didn't push the tempo. With 10 seconds left they passed the ball around the top of the key. With 2.6 seconds left, Hunter received the ball and rose up from nearly eight feet behind the 3-point line and drilled the game's dagger.
The second the shot went in, coach Ron Hunter fell off his stool. The deep three put the Panthers up 57-56. Baylor was unable to make a play and the Panthers pulled off the second upset of the tournament (following No.3 Iowa State losing to No.14

Unfortunately, Georgia State fell to six-seed Xavier in the next round, 75-67. When R.J. Hunter exited the game, he had an emotional moment with his father — much like Creighton had last year

Kansas tennis defeats West Virginia to finish home stand
JACOB CLEMEN
No. 65 Kansas capped off a five-match home stand with a dominant 4-0 victory against Big 12 opponent West Virginia on Sunday.
The match was the fourthstraight against Big 12 opponent for the Jayhawks, who dropped matches to No. 18 Texas Tech and No. 21 TCU before defeating Iowa State and West Virginia to bring their record to 2-2 in
conference play.
After the conference opening loss to Texas Tech, coach Todd Chapman said he wanted to see more consistency from his team.
"I thought we were good in spurts," Chapman said in a press release. "Texas Tech is a good team and we have to be able to maintain energy, emotion and intensity."
In Sunday's contest against the Mountaineers, Chapman was pleased with his team, as it played well early and
maintained its level of play en route to a sweep.
"It thought the biggest thing today was that we fought and at the end of the day that was what won us the match." Chapman said in a press release.
The Jayhawks made quick work of the Mountaineers in doubles play, winning quickly on courts one and two. Freshmen Madison Harrison and Smith Hinton won 6-1 on court two before senior Maria Belen Ludueña and
freshman Alexis Czapinski sealed the doubles point 6-3.
In singles play, Harrison was able to win on court three in two sets (6-3, 6-2) after her doubles win to give Kansas a comfortable 2-0 lead.
Court six saw Czapinski follow up a doubles win of her own as she secured a 3-0 lead for the Jayhawks winning 6-3, 6-1.
Chapman pointed to experience as a reason for Kansas' struggles early in Big 12 play after the Texas Tech
loss.
"The biggest thing is that we need experience," Chapman said in a press release. "We need to be put in those situations where we can see what we need to work on."
On Sunday, Chapman saw Ludueña, his most experienced player, finish off West Virginia with a 6-3, 4-6, 5-0 win in singles.
"I think the big thing is that [Ludueña] has matured this year and she doesn't allow
one set to affect the next," Chapman said in a press release. "I feel like she's doing a really good job of that when she gets the lead she closes things out and doesn't make things harder on herself."
Kansas improved to 4-2 at home and 6-8 overall. The Jayhawks will head on the road for a pair of matches against North Texas on Friday, March 27 and at SMU on Saturday, March 28.

COMMENTARY 11 is not better than2
What's the difference between a good and a great
Blair Sheade
@realblairsheady
Does winning an 11th Big 12 conference make the season great? The entire Kansas team said this season was a good one, but in order for it to be great, Kansas had to advance further than the second round of the NCAA tournament.
season?
"We always talk about the difference between a good and a great season. A good season is winning the Big 12, which is expected from us," sophomore Landen Lucas said after the 78-65 loss to Wichita State. "We won the Big 12, but in my career here, I have yet to have a great season, which is all based on the post season. It's hard to call it a great season after losing in the round of 32 like we did."
Kansas is historically a successful basketball team, but when the Jayhawks lose in the round of 32 for the second consecutive season, one may ask, what is more important?
Kansas coach Bill Self agreed this season wasn't a success, and this team isn't satisfied with how this season has ended.
"To win the league outright, it's a pretty big deal to this group of guys, but certainly how we finished — I've said all along you can have a good season by winning the league, but to make it great, you got to get to the second weekend," Self said. "Perspective-wise, there's no way I'll say it was a great year."
Anyone can tell when looking at the players' faces after the loss that this season wasn't supposed to end like this. When looking back at the season, the Big 12 conference schedule took a lot out of the Jayhawks.
Fighting for another Big 12 title, junior Perry Ellis hurt his knee in the second to last game against West Virginia, and Self said on Selection Sunday that the whole team was beat up after a tough conference season.
The Big 12 title doesn't help when you're playing in the NCAA tournament; Ellis said it would be hard to replace a Big 12 title with another NCAA win.
"It's not great. We wanted to advance in the tournament," Ellis said. "This is what it's all about, this is what we work for all season, and this is what we prepare for."
People will remember the 2014-15 Kansas team, not for winning its 11th Big 12 title, but for losing to Wichita State. Sophomore Wayne Selden Jr. said everything after the Big 12 determines if the season is great or not, and it didn't work out how Kansas wanted. "We let a lot of people down today," Selden said.
So what's next for this Kansas team, who didn't have a single senior in its eightman rotation? When asking freshman Kelly Oubre Jr. if

Slugging woes plague Kansas against Iowa
I AMIE JUST
@Amie_Just
The Jayhawks baseball team failed to convert runners on base to runs on the scoreboard this weekend against the Iowa Hawkeyes. The Jayhawks started the series off hot, but couldn't continue their momentum in the following games. The team's record now stands at 9-14.
GAME 1; KANSAS 4, IOWA 3
GAME 1: KANSAS 4, IDWA 3
Kansas outlasted Iowa in a nail-biter Friday.
The Jayhawks went into the eighth inning holding a 4-1 lead, thanks to a two-RBI double from senior infielder Blair Beck.
+ Vo
"I thought it was a crucial
at bat," coach Ritch Price said after the game. "At the time, we had 10 or 11 hits, but only had two runs to show for it."
Just when Kansas thought it had the game sealed up, Iowa infielder Tyler Peyton singled through the left side for a two-run RBI, putting the Hawkeyes within one with one out remaining.
That was enough to make the Jayhawks sweat, but sweat was all they did. Iowa outfielder Kris Goodman struck out swinging during the next at bat to end the game.
A hot start in the first inning helped Iowa cruise to victory on Saturday.
GAME 2: IOWA 6. KANSAS 4

tne Hawkeyes scored two more runs to take the edge and tie the series.
early, fueled in part by outfielder Joel Booker hitting a single up the middle for a two-RBI hit and infielder Austin Guzzo hit through the right side, scoring Booker during the next at bat.
Iowa scored again in the top of the fourth from a single by infielder lake Mangler.
Kansas got on the board in the bottom of the fourth inning with a single from freshman sophomore infielder Matt McLaughlin that would score infielder Michael Tinsley.
GAME 3: IDWA 6, KANSAS 2
The Jayhawks started their comeback in the bottom of the fifth when they scored back-to-back-to-back runs, tying the gam 4-4.
It took a while for Kansas to bring a runner home safely, and by the time Tinsley crossed home plate in the seventh inning, it was too little, too late.
That was the last of the heavy hitting for the Jayhawks, as
Iowa hammered out hits and the Kansas sluggers couldn't keep up. When the Jayhawks were walked or hit by a pitch, they couldn't convert the opportunity.
The Jayhawks left 17 runners on base, the most that were stranded all season.
"We might have set a record since I've been at Kansas for the most guys left on base in a game," Price said. "We
had an unbelievable amount of opportunities to score. Early in the game we had some really bad at bats with runners in scoring position. It kind of magnifies when you don't take advantage of those opportunities."
Sophomore outfielder Joven Afenir had one of the two runs for Kansas and two of the nine hits.
"We hit a lot of balls hard," Afenir said. "But the wind wasn't in our favor today. We just couldn't find the holes."
Kansas is on the road until the beginning of April. Next up for the Jayhawks is a one-game battle at Missouri State on Tuesday.

Wessel, Shockers take away Kansas' momentum

As the ball left Evan Wessel's hand with 13:36 to play in the game, coach Bill Self looked to his bench and scoffed. This was Wessel's third corner three of the game and extended the Shockers' lead to 12.
After watching shot after shot rim out for Kansas, Self couldn't do much else when every Wichita State look seemed to fall.
Basketball is a game of momentum and runs. In Kansas' 78-65 loss to Wichita State in the round of 32, the second half was one long Shocker run.
"They were far superior than us the second half," Self said. "They obviously were better prepared, ready for the moment better than us, and we didn't play very well."
Freshman guard Devonte Graham attempts a layup against Wichita State. The Jayhawks lost to the Shockers, 78-65.
Wessel continued to knock in the open three, shooting 4-of-6 from deep, 3-for-5 in the second half. Each time Kansas looked to make a dent in the Shocker lead, Wessel was there to stretch the margin.
ANNA WENNER/KANSAN
At the 2:49 mark in the second half with Kansas trailing by 10, sophomore Brannen Greene fired a three-pointer from the top of the key. His shot hit iron and bounced up and off the rim twice before it was rebounded by Shocker Fred VanVleet.
Kansas headed into the locker room at halftime trailing by only three points after having led most of the first half. Wichita State
"To me, he was the best player in the game," Self said. "He's a tough kid, real smart, and it showed tonight."
This shot summed up most of the second half for the Jayhawks, as the looks just were not falling. Earlier in the half, sophomore Wayne Selden Jr. pulled up from inside the paint and his shot rimmed out as well.
outscored Kansas by 10 points in the second half and seemed as if they couldn't miss from the floor, shooting nearly 60 percent.
The Jayhawks could not get anything going on either end of the court in the second period. The Shockers played impeccable defense and shot the ball at a high percentage. Kansas was unable to guard high-ball screens and could not take advantage of its size in the paint.
"They threw us off our game," sophomore Landen Lucas said. "They didn't let us get on any runs and eventually we just started settling."
The Shockers went on two 7-0 runs, one at the end of the first half and one at the
start of the second. Kansas tried everything to slow the Shockers' momentum, including Self using the team's final timeout with 4:39 play in the game.
Out of the timeout, freshman Devonte' Graham missed a contested jumper followed by another missed three-pointer from freshman Kelly Oubre Jr. The Jayhawks were unable to take advantage of the looks they were given.
Whenever Kansas did convert in the second half, Wichita State would answer
"We missed a lot of easy bunnies," sophomore Frank Mason III said. "A lot of easy shots just didn't fall for us."
right back with a two of its own, and oftentimes a three point basket to build its lead. Early in the second half, junior Perry Ellis hit a layup to cut the lead from six to four, and on the other end, Wessel knocked down a three to increase the lead to seven. It was one step forward and two steps back all evening.
"It was definitely one of those games where we couldn't catch a break," Oubre said. "Every time we hit a basket, they would run right back and hit one of their
own."
The Shockers didn't allow the Jayhawks to go on a run for more than five points in the second half. No runs meant no momentum. And no momentum resulted in an early tournament exit and an early end to the season for the Jayhawks.
"I'm proud of our team," Self said. "We've had a nice year, had a good year. Perspectivewise, there's no way to say it was a great year."

University professor predicts next five states to legalize marijuana
LANE COFAS
@alleyahC
Barney Warf, a professor of geography at the University, said he believes California, Nevada, Illinois, Vermont and New York will be the next five states to legalize recreational marijuana based off the states' political trends and research he has conducted. Medical marijuana is legal in all five states.
Warfdescribedrecreational pot as a largely western movement and said there is potential for this to move east, such as legalization in Washington, D.C.
"I picked states that tend to vote Democrat," Warf said. "I think California is pretty much a sure bet for 2016."
Warf's research, a scholarly article titled "High Points: A Historical Geography of Cannabis," published in the October 2014 issue of Geographical Review, highlights the geography of cannabis use, the many groups and communities trying to regulate the drug and society's overall negative opinion of the drug.
It is much less likely that Kansas will legalize pot than other states, partially because of political views, he said.
Warf's predictions are somewhat on track with current legalization efforts and trends — a March article in TIME said Nevada, California, Arizona, Maine and Massachusetts may be the next five.
"If [marijuana legalization] comes to Kansas, it would likely come first in medical marjuana," Warf said.
Warf said he believes pot is not as dangerous as other drugs, such as cocaine and heroin, and that it is extremely bizarre that pot is being treated like it is as harmful as other illicit drugs.
Dan Smith, a senior from Mission Viejo, Calif., said legalizing recreational pot would not only be beneficial for states' revenue, it would

be safer for consumers.
"I think having it be legalized and regulated would be a great deal safer for anyone who smokes since there would be a decreased chance of it being laced with anything else," Smith said. "Not to mention it would free up a lot of space in prisons, which has been a huge problem in my home state."

Legalizing pot would also bring in a new source of tax funds, Smith said.

Group pushes for conference on LGBTQ at KU
Warf said he believes part of the reason more states are looking into legalizing pot is because of what they've seen in Colorado and Washington after those states legalized the drug. Warf said contrary to criticism, arrests related to the misuse of the drug have
not dramatically increased in those states.

What 'rape' means author discusses history's definitions
"I want to show you that challenging the definition of rape actually has a long history in the United States, and it's one that I believe has left significant legacies for the way we understand the subject today," Freedman said.
RILEY MORTENSEN
@RileyMortensen
We're living in a time in a particularly intensive moment of scrutiny of the legal and cultural meaning of sexual violence, Estelle Freedman said.
Nearly 80 people gathered in the Hall Center for the Humanities Monday night to hear Freedman's lecture on her newest book, "Redefining Rape: Sexual Violence in the Era of Suffrage and Segregation." Freedman is a U.S. historian specializing in women's history and feminist studies and a professor at Stanford University.
Index
Freedman's lecture and book focus on events in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time Freedman said when both women's rights and racial justice advocates contested the narrow understanding of rape. At the time, she said rape was understood as a brutal attack on a white woman, chased by a stranger, typically an African-American man.
CLASSIFIEDS 7
BREW 7
As Freedman was writing her book, she was struck by what seemed to her as an escalation in media attention to definitions of rape, she said. From the phrase "legitimate rape" used by former Missouri Republican Congressman Todd Akin in 2012 to the exposure of the practice of corrective rape against lesbians in South Africa, the stories in the media took a number of forms, Freedman said.

TOPEKA — A new proposal for controlling mental-health drug costs in the Medicaid program in Kansas advanced in the Legislature on Monday, weeks after the Republican-controlled Senate rejected another plan from GOP Gov. Sam Brownback's administration.
The Senate gave first-round approval to a bill requiring a review of Medicaid's mental health prescriptions. The measure also creates an advisory committee to draft guidelines on prescriptions for 368,000 needy and disabled residents whose health care is covered by the $3 billion-a-year program.
Senators expected to take a final vote Tuesday that would determine whether the measure passes and goes to the House. But the bill had bipartisan support and arose from discussions between state officials and mental health advocates after a plan giving Brownback's administration more sweeping authority to control mental health prescriptions failed in late February.
The latest proposal would replace a 2002 law blocking restrictions in Medicaid on prescriptions for treating mental illnesses, such as a list of preferred drugs or a requirement to have the program sign off before a prescription is made.
Mental health advocates saw the law as ensuring that Medicaid participants aren't denied needed drugs. But some legislators and other state officials contend drugs are being overprescribed or used improperly, particularly with children and poor, elderly nursing home residents.
"The state has no ability to go in and restrict that," Shawn Sullivan, the governor's budget director, said after the Senate's debate.
The effort to limit drug costs also is part of a larger plan from Brownback for closing a budget shortfall projected at nearly $600 million for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment estimates annual savings of more than $8 million under the new proposal.
The bill that failed last month would have repealed
the 2002 law, and critics said it gave too much power to KDHE's secretary and the three private health insurance companies that now manage Medicaid for the state. Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat who voted against the first measure, said their authority would have been "unfettered."
"This at least has some
constraints, some guard rails,
more eyes on it," Kelly said of
the new proposal.
Under the latest proposal, the health department's secretary could temporarily require prior-authorization for prescriptions of new drugs until an existing, sevenmember board on drug policies reviewed them. The same board would be required
to review the use of all mental health drugs by July 1,2016
in new advisory committee would include psychiatrists and pharmacists and would draft guidelines on the use of mental health drugs.
"I think this is a good compromise," said Sen. Vicki Schmidt, a Topeka Republican who opposed the first proposal.

In the University's press release, Dean of Undergraduate Studies Ann Cudd said Augusto gave her a plan to "assume the directorship on a regular basis." Augusto was involved in the Center previously as an assistant vice provost for experiential learning, as well as the director for the Center for Undergraduate

"[Augusto] will maintain his role directing the Center for Undergraduate Research, facilitating experiential learning and will also direct the Center for Civic and Social Responsibility," Cudd said.
CUBS SCIENCE
The Center for Civic and Social Responsibility pairs students with community partners for their course assignments at the University.
"As the new director coming in, I want to make sure that we continue to support faculty who teach service-learning courses." Augusto said. "These are courses where the students go as part of the course assignment to work with a community partner."
One example of experiential learning Augusto explained involved partnering a nonprofit organization with a journalism
student to create a marketing plan.
"We really give a chance for the University to fulfill its full mission," Augusto said. "The University of Kansas is a teaching, research and service university, and so the students in the University who are involved partnering with community partners really help fulfill that public service mission."
Augusto called his transition into leadership of the Center a "seamless" one.
"We're not making any changes right away," Augusto said. "What I'm looking to do is to continue with community partners, to talk with students, talk with faculty about what they think the center needs to be doing, and then see what is the best direction to go."

In an attempt to narrow the broad range of issues surrounding the meaning of rape during this time, Freedman focused on three key points in the lecture: first, how definitions of rape have changed and continue to change through time, how it affected people applying for U.S. citizenship and historical situations that led to a change in the legal definition and its continuing limitations.
The event was hosted by the Hall Center and was co-sponsored by the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, American Studies and History departments, the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"I think it's important, or I like how she framed it as a multilayered issue, with multiple factors that shaped how rape is looked at or understood in the 19th and 20th century." Osei said. "I think that's important because in this period a lot of those layers can get lost even as they are sort of unspoken but visible."
Cassie Osei, a senior studying history and Latin American studies, attended the smaller 2 p.m. pre-lecture session and the 3 p.m. lecture.
Kim Warren, associate professor of the United States women's history course and director of graduate studies for the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies department who introduced Freedman, earned her PhD in history in 2004 from Stanford University under the advising of Freedman.
"The topic of rape ... is particularly poignant right now on college campuses across the United States, and I think I can speak for the group by saying we are grateful to Dr. Freedman for providing a scholarly platform from which we can discuss such an important issue," she said.
Following the pre-lecture and lecture, Freedman took questions from audience members, who asked about topics like the role of incapacitation, intoxication and disability in sexual violence.
Freedman said it is important to step back from the situation when we find ourselves making issues about gender.
When asked about the history of sexual assault and sexual violence on campuses, Freedman said, historically, no one has looked at it.

Although she said she doesn't know the particular history of the University, Freedman said she has the sense that interest comes in waves.

Cruz targets conservatives in bid for White House
PHILIP ELLIOTT
Associated Press
LYNCHBURG, Va. Launching his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas asked Christian conservative voters to imagine a United States without the IRS, Obamacare or abortion rights - and to imagine they can make that happen by supporting him.
ANDREW HASHUFF
His aspirational appeal on Monday, aimed at America's most conservative voters, could quickly run into challenges in winning over moderate voters — and eventually deep difficulties in governing should Cruz win the White House.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas speaks at Liberty University, founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, Monday, March 23, in Lynchburg, Va., to announce his campaign for president. Cruz, who announced his candidacy on Twitter in the early morning hours, is the first major candidate in the 2016 race for president.
But it's a message that Cruz, the first major 2016 contender to declare himself a candidate, is expected to forcefully emphasize in the coming year before voters start to pick nominees.
ANDREW HARNIK/ASSOCIATED PRESS
"God's blessing has been on America from the very beginning of this nation, and I believe that God isn't done with
Americans," Cruz declared at Liberty University, a Christian school founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell.
"I believe in you. I believe in the power of millions of courageous conservatives rising up to reignite the promise of America. And that is that is why, today, I am announcing that I am running for president of the United States of America."
Cruz won't be the sole GOP contender for long. Two Senate colleagues, Kentucky's Rand Paul and Florida's Marco Rubio, are eyeing campaign launches soon. And former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, are expected to follow, among others.
tus.
The 44-year-old Cruz is betting his White House hopes on profoundly conservative voters and their opposition to policies they find abhorrent.
Within such circles, there is deep distrust of the IRS, which was revealed last year to have been scrutinizing tea party groups' nonprofit sta-
Scuttling President Barack Obama's health care legislation, called by some "Obamacare," is a rallying cry, as well. And abortion is a major issue for Christian conservatives who have tremendous sway in the lead-off caucus and primary election states of Iowa and South Carolina.
activists for leading the effort to shut the federal government during an unsuccessful bid to block money for the health law.
"Today, roughly half of born-again Christians aren't voting — they're staying home," Cruz said. "Imagine, instead, millions of people of faith all across America coming out to the polls and voting our values."
He spoke on the fifth anniversary of that law — legislation that prompted Cruz to
stand for more than 21 hours in the Senate to denounce it in a speech that delighted his supporters and other Obamacare foes.
Following his election to the Senate in 2012, the former Texas solicitor general quickly established himself as an uncompromising figure willing to take on Democrats and sometimes Republicans, too. Divisive within his own GOP, he won praise from tea party
Cheers rose Monday in the hall when Cruz reminded the crowd that Liberty University filed a suit against the law right after its enactment.
During his 30-minute kickoff speech, delivered like a sermon without notes or cue cards, Cruz made clear he sees electoral potential in his unbending advocacy.
But the partial government shutdown was not widely popular, and Democrats signaled that it would be central to their criticism of the first-term senator.

FFA OF THE DAY
My entire grocery store purchase consisted of little Debbie snacks and Budweiser. #College
The Wescoe elevator just took off without the door closed. Welcome back!
Idk if I'm hungover or if my body is just shutting down because it's emotionally dead after that game.
Dear Monday FFA girl who needs a boyfriend: I volunteer. Let's get dinner!
Sometimes I cry when I play my piccolo, too.
Day drinking caused me to go to bed at a decent time... Can't complain there.
I have a problem with the Koch brothers sponsoring KU when they're also "sponsoring" politicians who are slashing education funding to the ground and ruining the state.
I love that it's finally starting to get nice outside but I hate that I have to start shaving my legs now
Making employee of the month is probably my greatest achievement so far...should I re-evaluate my life.
The pockets of my work apron exist solely for the purpose of secretly flipping off customers and not losing my job.
Really not sure how the University expects anyone to have any motivation the week after spring break.
Can't find my oven mitts so
I guess this thick stack of
tortillas will do.
To go out... Or stay in my sweatpants and eat cheetos?
If you toned your booty solely to have dudes admire it you're doing it wrong. Better yourself for you!
Should I be concerned by the amount of bruises I find after a drunken night out?
I really can't believe that KU's season is over... Please tell me this is just some horrible night-marie:'( ;('
My sunglasses went missing so
I'm using those things that optometrists give you after getting your eyes dilated. #sorrynotsorry
I just spent three hours in the back of an unmarked police cruiser. Best. Date. Ever.

Imagine if the University was forced to shut down after this year. To many of us, this seems like an absurd idea. But students attending Sweet Briar College, an all-women's school in Virginia, may face this reality next year. With the decline in enrollment and what the New York Times reports as "insurmountable financial challenges," the school may no longer exist, which leads us to evaluate the merits of single-sex education. As a disclaimer, I have only attended public co-educational schools.
sure from other men to prove sexual prowess and men's own attitudes favoring impersonal sex." While male sexual assault poses a real issue, I am focusing on women's cases here. At a single-sex female school, many of these male behaviors would not be present, nor would the school's administrative obligations to the male perpetrator in a sexual assault case.
I can see how single-sex schools can create positive effects. Former Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius discussed at the Dole Institute of Politics how attending all-girl's schools helped her see how women could be leaders. All class officers and student leaders were women; they did not compete against men for more traditional roles.
At an all-women's school, sexual assault occurrences could even be cut down. Mary Koss, a professor of psychology at Arizona and the woman who coined the term 'date rape' in the '80s, told NPR the three drivers of sexual assault that allow men to perpetrate crime include: "a culture of high alcohol consumption, peer pres-
BROOK BARNES/KANSAN
Former Kansas governor and former Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius discussed in her February visit to campus how attending an all-girl's school helped her recognize the leadership capabilities of women.
Attending an all-women's school like Sweet Briar would be understandable back in the day, but with the influx of women in higher education, I don't see the need for all-women's or all-men's schools anymore. The New York Times reports that same-sex schools perpetuate the differences between the sexes and can lead to stark contrasts once one enters the workforce or co-ed graduate school.
If single-sex schools focused on closing the gender gap in specific professions, this might re-establish relevance. It is widely known that few women choose computer science, engineering or physics. Their percentages in all three hover below 20 percent, according to
The time for all-women's and all-men's colleges rests behind us. Why do genders need to be separated while receiving an education? Creating single-sex environments supports the idea that men and women are inherently different and cannot learn in the same classroom. If the market exists for single-sex education, I will not stand in the way of it. But, as seen from the sharp decline in women's colleges and increase in gender-neutral admissions policies at most institutions, the demand for single-sex education will continue to dwindle.
the National Girls Collaborative Project. Women's schools that focus on STEM majors can create a conducive environment for learning. However, most single-sex schools, men's and women's, are private liberal arts schools with few engineering or computer science options, a New York Times article reports. Moreover, we can all call to mind a few professions where women dominate the field. Many nursing programs have higher rates of female enrollment than male. A new U.S. Census Bureau study found that the rate of male nurses in the past few decades has tripled, from 2.7 percent to 9.6 percent. If we want to keep single-sex education around, perhaps an engineering school for women or a nursing school for men would be most relevant today.
When students enter the real world after graduation, they will

the past, many colleges did not admit women at all, or at least at the same rate they admitted men. Therefore all-women's schools were necessary to educate women. They had no other options. But now that women
men are underrepresented might help to keep same-sex education alive.

Healthy food options shouldn't break the bank
Monica Saha
@Sahahahahaha
GLENN KOENIG/TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE Lentils are a healthy and relatively cheap meat supplement for college students. Lentils, along with kidney beans and chickpeas, are great sources of protein and fiber.
In the midst of midterms week, I was starving but too stressed to cook. I wanted something quick, so naturally I stopped at the yellow arches. I rarely go to McDonald's and was shocked when my meal was almost $8. I thought the beauty of fast food was that it was quick but also cheap. I've tried to rationalize with myself that something healthier would have been more expensive. However, a Chipotle burrito bowl or chicken pho would have been much more appetizing, healthier and cheaper than my fast food meal. On the flip side, I didn't have to get out of my car or wait in a 10-minute line for my meal. It is easy to convince ourselves that healthy food is more costly, but in reality, we pay for the convenience of unhealthy and processed foods.
nes like Lean Cuisine and Smart Ones may contain low caloric meals, but they are not the healthiest. According to FitDay, frozen meals contain between 700 to 1,800 mg of sodium, while the daily recommended value is 2,300 mg. It is hard to supplement sodium under this value if students rely on microwavable meals daily. They also rely on
Microwavable meals are popular among college students because they are inexpensive and quick. Frozen diet food compa-
processed grain like white flour, which can be low in fiber.
The myth that healthy food can be too steep for a college student's budget and take a while to prepare isn't necessarily true. While organic food is more expensive, it will not break the bank. On average, organic vegetables are about $1 to $1.50 more a pound
or item. Meat is one of the most costly parts of a meal. Chicken and turkey tend to be cheaper and leaner than red meat, which makes it hard to resist cheaper meats like frozen burger patties or bacon. However, you can supplement some types of meat with kidney beans, chickpeas and lentils, which are excellent sources of protein and fiber. Dehydrated
beans are less than $2 in Lawrence grocery stores.
Other entrees like pasta and rice are easier to cook, but are high in sugar and contain white carbohydrates that make you bloated and tired. Whole-grain pasta and quinoa are healthier options. A box of Uncle Ben's quinoa at Dillons is less than $3.
Eating healthy takes time and diligent preparation, but it is not as expensive as we think. When it is done right, one feels infinitely better and less sluggish. Time is precious for college students, and this is why I recommend meal prepping. If you have roommates, you can make a variety of meals. Meal prepping together allows you to make meals for the next few days. You put the healthy meals in Tupperware and grab them when you need to eat. If you plan ahead, this ends up being a cost effective and healthier way to eat.

'Insurgent' steps up with thrilling action

Rosa Salazar (foreground from left), Emjay Anthony and Suki Waterhouse appear in a scene from "The Divergent Series: Insurgent." The film is the second installment in the "Divergent" series.
adaptations of dystopian young adult novels have
LIONSGATE
become all the rage since "The Hunger Games," but the "Divergent" series often just felt like a lesser version of that film. The second film in the trilogy, "Insurgent," however, significantly steps up its game by getting to the exciting uprising action immediately. Tension and thrills abound in this installment with a fast-paced story, much higher stakes and plenty of cool action sequences.
"Divergent," the first film, had to establish the background information within the series, which led to less action. The society is divided into five factions and a lengthy training program, so with that information already in place, the exposition of "Insurgent" moves along with much greater urgency
with intense grim dignity.
It opens in the rubble and aftermath of the attack ordered by Erudite faction and government leader Jeanine (Kate Winslet) on the Abnegation faction's territory. Tris Prior (Shailene Woodley), her boyfriend Four (Theo James) and her brother Caleb (Ansel Elgort) are in hiding when Jeanine's soldiers arrive and a rousing escape sequence evolves into a bruising figh
on a moving train.
From there they prepare for an onslaught against Jeanine, joining forces with the factionless people while she hunts divergents in hopes of finding one to open an ancient box with a message from the founders. The simulated sequences from this box are fun to watch, as they include both over-the-top and some "Matrix"-like special effects, visualizing inner demons and fears in unique ways.
The last "Hunger Games" was all build up to revolution without the payoff. "Insurgent" satisfies with a fight against the powers that be on a scale of less character investment
and not as big of a world, but certainly leaner, more straightforward construction.
Woodley usually plays a tender sweetheart, so it is a pleasure to see her aggressively take charge here, letting her anger shine much more than in the first film. She captivates in a scene where she takes a truth serum and tearfully admits to a necessary killing.
With "Insurgent," the "Divergent" series proves it is more than just an alteration on "Hunger Games." Yes, it is close, but it is enjoyable enough to take seriously on its own.

After Dolce and Gabbana founders Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce's controversial comments against in vitro fertilization, celebrities have criticized the designers on social media and at the GLAAD Media Awards show, and some have joined in a Dolce and Gabbana boycott.
Campaigner Peter Tatchell (left) holds a banner during a demonstration held by The Out and Proud Diamond Group and the Peter Tatchell Foundation, outside the Dolce & Gabbana store in London on Thursday. Several celebrities have joined the boycott bandwagon launched by Eton John after fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana criticized same-sex parents and the use of in vitro fertilization in an Italian magazine, calling the resulting children "synthetic."
TIM IRELAND/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The hashtag #boycotddolceandgabbana has been trending for nearly a week and is gaining traction after Dolce and Gabbana in an interview for Panorama, an Italian magazine, earlier this month referred to IVF children as "synthetic" children born from "rented" wombs.
"We oppose gay adoptions. The only family is the traditional one," the designers said, according to The Telegraph's translation.
Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi briefly commented on the controversial statements in an interview with E! News during the GLAID Media Awards on Saturday.
Sir Elton John posted on Instagram a week ago that he would never wear Dolce and Gabbana again. He referred to the fashion moguls' thoughts as "archaic" and
"It's not even worth commenting on because they're, you know, ignorant," DeGeneres told E! News. She said she'll never wear Dolce and Gabbana clothing "ever, ever again."
John's hashtag, #boycottdolceandgabbana, was trending Monday morning as people, including celebrities such as DeGeneres, pledged to boycott the major designer.
"out of step with the times," and he reprimanded them for calling his "beautiful children 'synthetic'" as well as for "wagging your judgement little fingers at IVF
— a miracle that has allowed legions of loving people, both straight and gay, to fulfil their dream of having children."
Ryan Murphy, creator of "Glee" and "American Horror Story," tweeted with the hashtag that "These [designers]] horrifying views are never in fashion."
Ricky Martin and Madonna also said on social media that the designers were out of line and condemned them for using their powerful voices to spread hate.
Madonna posted a photo of her and her daughter from a 2010 Dolce and Gabbana photoshoot on Instagram with the caption, "All babies contain a soul however they come to this earth and their families. There is nothing synthetic about a soul!" and that "God has his hand in everything even technology!"

NBC's Today Show co-anchor Al Roker tweeted that his "beautiful IVF children are not 'synthetic' children"
"That would be the stupidest thing if it affected my fashion choice," she told E! News. "People are allowed to their own opinion, however, I wouldn't have chosen to be so public about something that's such a personal thing." In light of the backlash, Gabbara posted on his Instagram that he should have the right to speak freely and voice an opinion, even if it's unpopular.
In a statement released to ABC News last week, the fashion moguls tried to clarify their comments that created such a media whirlwind.
"I am very well aware of the fact that there are other types of families, and they are as legitimate as the one I've known," Dolce said.
"It was never our intention to judge other people's choices. We do believe in freedom and love," Gabbbana said.

SXSW returns to roots with focus on emerging talent instead of big names
"Our goal here is not to find the largest artist we can and have them play an event so our house will be packed" he said, referring to Pandora's so-called Discovery Den, which hosted performances by the rock band Palma Viollets and the hip-hop group Migos, among others.
"We've turned down major artists. Our approach is to say, 'Look, this is a place where we can celebrate the up-and-coming talent that people are going to want to hear.'"
SXSW may have been celebrating talents that were smaller in scale, but they were still abundant in number. As in 2014, more than 2,000 acts were estimated to have descended on Austin, which put a strain on even the most committed.
Bentley meant that, minus the distractions of a Kanye West or a Kendrick Lamar (both of whom were rumored to appear but didn't), attendees could more easily focus on what SXSW was founded to do. That idea was echoed by Simon Fleming-Wood, who oversees marketing at Pandora, the digital streaming service.

AR
On Friday afternoon, as a rainstorm soaked the streets of downtown, a performance space sponsored by Google had the members of an unknown roots-rock band pouring their hearts out to a nearly empty room.
MIKAEL WOOD
Bethany Cosentino of Los Angeles's Best Coast, which came to SXSW to drum up interest ahead of a coming major-label album, said so much was happening — even without the Doritos #BoldStage looming over Red River Street — that it was hard to gauge what effect a performance here might have on a young band's career.
Either way, fewer brands led to fewer boldface names — with the notable exception of Snoop Dogg, who delivered the festival's keynote address — and that cleared the way for a re-emphasis on emerging talent.
AUSTIN, Texas - A prevailing notion at the South by Southwest music festival, which concluded here Sunday, was that this year's edition delivered a much-needed course correction.
Associated Press
And this was at a moment when passersby had a clear incentive to step inside.
Yet this year, some of the biggest sponsors (including Citi and iTunes) stayed away, a reaction perhaps to the widespread perception that SXSW had lost its edge. Some corporations might also have been distancing themselves after a fatal 2014 incident in which a driver fleeing police plowed into a festival crowd and four people died.
Though it began in 1987 as a low-key showcase for regional talent, the festival had ballooned in recent years, attracting superstar acts such as Green Day and Prince, eager to borrow SXSW's cool factor in promoting new product or rehabilitating an image. As usual, corporate brands weren't far behind, which is how Lady Gaga ended up performing last year in front of a giant Doritos logo.
"It's very bizarre that there's this idea that you'll come to South by Southwest and
traving spent the better part of a week trudging around downtown Austin — from concerts to parties to panel discussions — I agree that SXSW has changed. But I'm not so sure the shift is putting better music in front of more listeners — or making the music stick.
"It improves the signal-to-noise ratio," said Jason Bentley, music director of Santa Monica. Calif's KCRW-FM, which presented a concert in Austin featuring young acts such as James Bay and Milky Chance.

jeave with a record dear, she said. "I don't know who that's happening to"
"We've turned down major artists. Our approach is to say, 'Look, this is a place where we can celebrate the up-and-coming talent that people are going to want to hear."
SIMON FLEMING-WOOD Chief marketing officer at Pandora
So was it all a well-intentioned waste? Despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that this year's festival felt troublingly diffuse, without any center to hold onto, artists repeatedly wowed doing intensely personal work, as
though the broader turn from extravagance had inspired an embrace of introspection.
Hunched over a piano at Austin's Central Presbyterian Church (just one of many unconventional venues pressed into temporary service during SXSW), Tobias Jesso Jr. sang beautifully about heartbreak and disillusionment in songs from his delicate but knowing new album, "Goon."
Rapper J. Cole gave self- examination an anthemic thrust in a blistering theater set that he said served as a preview of his summer arena tour.
"I'm so sorry that I left you there to deal with that alone," he growled in "Apparently," about how he was living the high life as a college student in New York while his mother's house was being foreclosed back in his native North Carolina
Two music-related documentaries were held over from the earlier SXSW film festival: "Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck," Brett Morgan's vivid, sometimes disturbing portrait of the late Nirvana frontman, and "All Things Must Pass," a surprisingly touching account of the rise and fall of Tower Records directed by actor Colin Hanks.
Speaking about the technological shifts that his movie both describes and has benefited from (in the form of cheap cameras and streaming-video distribution), Hanks said, "The gates have opened. You can go make a movie. You can go make a documentary."
And, more easily than ever,
you can go make a song and
play it for people. But this year,
SXSW offered a reminder of
what's still as hard as ever: getting people to care.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"There's so much to be said about this rivalry with Kansas, but really, it's all about the fans. What better story is there for Wichita State?"

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What former Wichita State Shocker is playing for the New York Knicks?

- ESPN
THE MORNING BREW
Wichita State can make deep run in NCAA Tournament again
When Selection Sunday came around, Wichita State was a projected
five seed after losing in the semifinals of the Missouri Valley Tournament three weeks ago in St. Louis. Now, the Shockers are heading to the Sweet 16 as a No. 7 seed in the Midwest Regional with big wins against the Indiana Hoosiers and the Jayhawks this past weekend in Omaha, Neb.
Dylan Sherwood
@dmantheman2011
Wichita State shocked everyone Sunday, playing Kansas for the first time in more than 20 years. Going into the matchup, the Shockers were 2-0 against No. 2 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. They got Kansas and won by 13 in great fashion. In 2013, No. 8-seed Wichita State made a Cinderella run through the West Regional, which included
knocking off Gonzaga, a No. 1 seed, during the tournament in Salt Lake City. Then Wichita State picked up wins against LaSalle and Ohio State in Los Angeles to advance to the Final Four.
Even though the Shockers lost to the eventual 2013 National Champion, Louisville, some of those players are still playing for Wichita State. Ron Baker was a redshirt freshman, Fred VanVleet was a freshman, and Evan Wessel and Tekele Cotton were sophomores.
Those players are juniors and seniors, and the
THE BREW
experience gives Wichita State an advantage going into the Midwest Regional, held in Cleveland. This week, Wichita State can shock the world again if the team can pick up wins against quality opponents.
First, the Shockers have to get past the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Notre Dame has struggled in the first two games of the tournament and could give Wichita State a bit of an advantage. If Wichita State can
get a win against Notre Dame, then a rematch with Kentucky is in the works if both teams advance.
Wichita State is looking for revenge if the matchup with Kentucky happens. Kentucky ended the Shockers
perfect season last year as a No. 8 seed, eventually making it into the National Championship game but lost to Connecticut.
If the Shockers can play like they did against the Jayhawks, with five players scoring in double figures, and can make shots consistently, they just might do it again in 2015.
MARYLAND 2 WEST 3 VIRGINIA
As season ends, Terps feel 'this is just the beginning'
— Edited by Valerie Haag
Maryland's Melo Trimble fights off West Virginia's Juwan Staten in the NCAA Tournament's Round of 32 in Columbus, Ohio, on Sunday. No. 5-seed West Virginia defeated Maryland, a No.4 seed, 69-59 to move on to the Sweet 16.
PAUL VERNON/TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
LDON MARKUS
Tribune News Service
A year ago, the exodus was about to begin at Maryland. Five scholarship players with remaining eligibility left the program after a 17-15 season that concluded with the Terps failing to reach the postseason for the second time in Mark Turgeon's three years and the NCAA tournament for the fourth straight year.
As the 2014-15 season ends, the excitement around the program is only building.
Atter Sunday's 69-59 loss to West Virginia in the third round of the NCAA tournament, the Terps (28-7) are expected to lose five scholarship players — swingman Dez Wells, forwards Evan Smotrycz and Jon Graham and guards Richaud Pack and Varun Ram.
For Turgeon, it's not so much who's leaving, but who will return, and who's coming in for next season.
Barring the departure of freshman Melo Trimble to the NBA — a move that is considered highly unlikely despite the 6-foot-3 point guard being named first-team All-Big Ten by the media — Maryland will arguably return its most talented team since winning a national championship in 2001-02.
"A year ago today, I was not in a very good place," Turgeon said in the hallway outside the locker room Sunday night at Nationwide Arena. "Today, I'm in a great place because of that group in there. I knew in June that they were going to be a good group, and they would be fun to coach. I just hate that I couldn't help them more tonight and get them to a Sweet 16. I'm really really proud of this group — 28 wins and they did a lot of great things. Great kids."
Asked if what the Terps have coming back for next season makes the loss to the Mountaineers easier to digest, Turgeon smiled.
"We set a standard. We set a standard where Maryland basketball should be at," he said. "We had great leadership in
Dez Wells. He was unbelievable this year. Our leadership standard has been set. The way we should win has been set. We have great young players coming back. We have a really good one sitting out in Robert Carter. We're going to do some things in recruiting, too.
"We've got a lot of momentum. Maryland's a special place. This is just the beginning of a bright future."
The 6-foot-9, 240-pound Carter is expected to give the Terps an inside presence they have lacked since Alex Len left. Carter sat out this season after transferring from Georgia Tech, where he averaged 11.4 points and 8.4 rebounds as a sophomore, and he spent the past year improving his three-point shot.
Along with Carter, 6-foot-9,
210-pound forward Ivan
Bender, a former star on the
Croatian junior national team,
came to College Park in early
January sat out this season.
Jaylen Brantley, a former 4-star recruit who just finished a year of junior college, will give the Terps a second point guard they lacked in the loss to the Mountaineers.
In terms of recruiting, Maryland is one of the finalists — along with Wisconsin and Connecticut — for 6-10, 250-pound Diamond Stone, who just led his team in Milwaukee to its fourth straight state title and is ranked the No. 2 center recruit in the country and the No. 7 player overall. The Terps are also in the running with Arizona and Louisville for Yankuba Sima, a 6-11 forward from Spain who played with freshman center Michal Cekovsky last year in the Canary Islands.
According to a source familiar with Maryland's recruiting plans, Turgeon could also be in the market for a defensive-minded wing who can help ease the burden of losing the team's two best perimeter
defenders, Wells and Pack. The player could be an incoming freshman or a fifth-year senior who, like Pack, could become eligible immediately.
"We set a standard. We set a standard where Maryland basketball should be at."
MARK TURGEON
Maryland men's basketball coach
Aside from Trimble, their leading scorer, the Terps will bring back another freshman who showed his promise as a three-point shooter with a penchant for making big shots — 6-7 wing Jaren Nickens. His 12-point outburst in the first half of Friday's victory over Valparaiso was similar to contributions he made in wins against Iowa State and at
Oklahoma State. Terps legend Juan Dixon even said Nickens reminded him of himself.
"I trust Coach Turgeon and the coaching staff that they're going to bring in the right pieces for us," Nickens said. "We're going to have Rob Carter next year. We're going to spend the summer getting stronger and quicker and just getting better skillwise and adding dimensions to our game. Being that we have one year under our belt, next year we'll be very good. We'll be great."
Two other freshmen, shooting guard Dion Wiley and the 7-1 Cekovsky, also showed flashes of potential in big-game settings. Early in the season, Wiley kept the Terps competitive against Virginia in a game Wells missed with a fractured wrist. Late in the season, Cekovsky held his own against Wisconsin All-American Frank Kaminsky in a game won by the Terps at Xfinity Center. One of the biggest voids will
One of the biggest voids will
be filling the leadership provided by the seniors, Wells in particular.
Though he did not play well Sunday night — finishing with nine points and eight turnovers while playing with an upper respiratory condition he developed over the weekend — Wells will be remembered in College Park as a player who helped made the Terps relevant on a national level.
"Dez's legacy's going to be, he put Maryland back on the map," Turgeon said. "Maryland basketball had been off the map for five years. He put Maryland back on the map with his leadership, his competitive spirit. Think about what we did. We won nine out of 10 games down the stretch.
"That's so hard to do in college basketball unless you have the best players or seven pros running around, which we don't. Dez just put us on his back. His legacy going to be is that he brought Maryland basketball back to where it needs to be."
Junior forward lake Layman, who was a third-team Big Ten selection by the media, will be the only returning senior, so he will need to take the next step in his overall development as a player and become a more vocal leader, something he showed signs of doing this season despite not being as natural in that role as Wells.
"Obviously becoming a senior, definitely [I've] got to step into that leadership." Layman said. "We losing a lot of seniors. That's tough to replace. With the experience the young guys got this year, we're going to have leadership all around."
Despite the disappointing loss to end of the season, Layman said he can appreciate what the Terps accomplished over the past few months.
"I think everyone's looking at it that way," he said. "Obviously this loss hurts, but every one is looking back at this year and saying, 'Wow, we did special things when nobody really believed in us.' It's just a really special year, and it's just a pleasure to be a part of this team and this program."

COMMENTARY What if Alexander had played in the last 8 games?
Amie Just
@Amie Just
If you don't live under a rock,you know Kansas was eliminated in the NCAA Tournament's Round of 32 by Wichita State on Sunday.
it was another season that ended in, "what if?"
This season it was: "What if Cliff Alexander could have played?"
ended in. While it
last season it was: "What
if Joel Embiid had been
healthy?"
Alexander was pulled from the lineup before the final Texas game and never returned. From Feb. 28 onward, Kansas was 5-3, two games in which Kansas lost by a combined six points (lost by two against Oklahoma and by four against Iowa State). What if Alexander had suited up in those games? Would it have made a difference?
Whatever happens, all Kansas fans can say is, "what if?" and wait for some news — good or bad.
Will Alexander come back?
No one knows. Honestly,
no one knows anything
about Alexander and his
predicament. If he leaves,
he won't play many minutes
in the NBA right away.
Alexander is most likely
to get significant playing
time in the D-League or
in Europe. However, if he's
deemed eligible and he stays,
he could have a better chance
of suiting up and potentially
starting in the NBA.
ON THE
ROAD AGAIN
Kansas to face Missouri State in first
away game in three weeks
Edited by Emma LeGault
Would Kansas have won the three games it dropped after Alexander rode the bench? Maybe, maybe not. The stats say it's a possibility.
I'm not some kind of magical genie. I can't turn back time, but let's play it out, this hypothetical question.
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
In the games Alexander played, he averaged 17.6 minutes, 7.1 points and 5.3 rebounds. All in all, those stats weren't phenomenal, but he did lead the team in field-goal percentage, shooting 56.6 percent from the field.
Keep in mind, his season high of 16 points came versus Tennessee in November.
In Alexander's last four games, he scored six points (four against Baylor, zero at West Virginia, two against TCU and zero at Kansas State). In those games, he averaged 30 percent from the field on 3-of-10 shooting. The most he was on the floor during those games was for 21 minutes against Baylor, and then his minutes drastically were cut. He had only 27 minutes combined in his final three outings.
If the trend were to hold, Alexander wouldn't have been on the floor for many minutes and wouldn't have scored many points. Of course, this is completely based on numbers and doesn't matter whatsoever because Alexander didn't play.

@KRWhitmer
The Jayhawks (9-14) will play away from Hoglund Ballpark for the first time in three weeks as they travel to Springfield, Mo., to play the Missouri State Bears (13-7).
This single-game series will be the final game for the Jayhawks to prepare for Big 12 play, which begins this weekend.
The Jayhawks hosted the past 10 games and recorded a 4-6 record against Utah, Central Michigan, Michigan and Iowa. In each series, the Jayhawks managed to put themselves in a position to win the series in a rubber match but were only able to close the series against Michigan.
In the Jayhawks' most recent series against Iowa, the bats were active as they managed 29 hits throughout the series. However, the team struggled to capitalize on these hits as they had only 10 runs batted in while 36 runners were left on base.
Tuesday's game against the Bears marks the last game for Kansas pitchers to further improve before conference play. All 14 of the lahaywks pitchers have played at least an inning and will all be a key factors for the Jayhawks' success in Big 12 play.
The Bears have been solid this season as they boast a winning record of 13-7 through the 20 games they've played.
Missouri State has experience against familiar faces for the Jayhawks as the team has played two Big 12 teams this season in Oklahoma State and Kansas State. The Bears lost their only game against Oklahoma State and were only able to grab one win away from Kansas State in their three-game series against the Wildcats in Manhattan.
ine Bears are coming off a series win against Indiana State to start off their Missouri Valley Conference campaign.
The Jayhawk pitchers will need to be wary against all of the Bears' batters at the plate as their top seven batters have all recorded double-digit RBIs this season. Missouri State's Jake Burger is a player to watch for as he leads the team with 24 hits. Eight of Burger's hits have been doubles and he has also tacked on a triple and two home runs.
First pitch will be at 6:30 p.m.
at Hammons Field in Spring-

Softball looks to defend undefeated home record No.22 Jayhawks take on Drake Bulldogs at Rock Chalk Park
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek skillett
After completing a productive sweep in the Rock Chalk Challenge, the No. 22 Jayhawks will be back in action Tuesday as they face off against the Drake Buildings at 6 p.m. in Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park.
The Jayhawks are coming off the weekend's sweep of the Rock Chalk Challenge, as they defeated Eastern Michigan, UMKC and Georgia State over the weekend. Kansas also improved its home record to a perfect 8-0.
On Sunday, coach Megan Smith reached 300 career wins with a 5-4 victory against
The Drake Bulldogs come into Arrocha Ballpark with a 14-11 record. Most recently, they have won five of their past six games and are coming off a three-game winning streak against Evansville. One of the most notable victories for the Bulldogs was a 12-0 victory against Texas Tech in the Cowgirl Classic at Lake Charles, La., on Feb. 27.
Senior pitcher Rebekah Schmidt, who plays a dual role on offense and defense, statistically leads the Bulldogs. Schmidt has a .358 batting average, has only recorded 19 hits and has scored five runs. She ranks second on the team with 16 RBIs and three home runs. Schmidt leads the team with seven doubles.

collectively, the Bulldogs have recorded a .265 batting average, 171 hits, have scored 113 runs and have hit 101 RBIs.
Freshman Nicole Newman leads the Bulldogs' pitching staff with a 2.55 ERA and has struck out 66 batters while allowing 45 hits and 23 runs. Schmidt ranks second on the pitching staff with a 3.20 ERA and has struck out 88 batters
while allowing 86 hits, 49 runs and 11 home runs. The collective pitching staff has a 3.15 ERA and has struck out 155 batters while allowing 143 hits and 81 runs.
This will be the first time fans can watch the Jayhawks from their homes, as the game will be televised on the Jayhawk Network and ESPN3.
This will be the final non-conference game before conference play begins Friday against the Texas Longhorns, who have received votes in the ESPN Top 25 softball rankings. The Friday game against Texas will also be televised on ESPN3.

Ludueña wins Big 12 Player of the Week honors
Ludueña
N.J.
Kansas senior Maria Beilen Luuduire received the Big 12 Conference Women's Tennis Player of the Week award after a pair of strong showings in conference matchups. Tuesday's announcement from the league office marks the first time a Jayhawk has won this award since 2005.
Ludueña played a pivotal role in two Kansas conference victories against Iowa State and West Virginia. The senior was able to clinch three crucial points over the two home matches, securing lopsided Javhawk wins.
Against Iowa State, Luduena defeated the Cyclones' best singles player, Samantha Budai, 6-3, 6-4 taking the second and deciding point as the Jayhawks cruised to a 4-1 triumph.
Against West Virginia, Ludueña paired with freshman Alexis Czapinski to help secure the doubles point as the duo won the doubles-clinching match 6-3. She followed her doubles win with an impressive 3-6, 6-4, 6-0 singles win that clinched a sweep of the Mountaineers and sealed a winning home stand for Kansas.

COMMENTARY What if Alexander had played in the last 8 games?
Amie Just
@Amie Just
If you don't live under a rock,you know Kansas was eliminated in the NCAA Tournament's Round of 32 by Wichita State on Sunday.
It was another season that ended in, "what if?"
Last season it was: "What if Joel Embid had been healthy?"
This season it was: "What if Cliff Alexander could have played?"
Alexander was pulled from the lineup before the final Texas game and never returned. From Feb. 28 onward, Kansas was 5-3, two games in which Kansas lost by a combined six points (lost by two against Oklahoma and by four against Iowa State). What if Alexander had suited up in those games? Would it have made a difference?
I'm not some kind of magical genie. I can't turn back time, but let's play it out, this hypothetical question.
In the games Alexander played, he averaged 17.6 minutes, 7.1 points and 5.3 rebounds. All in all, those stats weren't phenomenal, but he did lead the team in field-goal percentage, shooting 56.6 percent from the field.
Keep in mind, his season high of 16 points came versus Tennessee in November.
In Alexander's last four games, he scored six points (four against Baylor, zero at West Virginia, two against TCU and zero at Kansas State). In those games, he averaged 30 percent from the field on 3-of-10 shooting. The most he was on the floor during those games was for 21 minutes against Baylor, and then his minutes drastically were cut. He had only 27 minutes combined in his final three outings.
If the trend were to hold, Alexander wouldn't have been on the floor for many minutes and wouldn't have scored many points. Of course, this is completely based on numbers and doesn't matter whatsoever because Alexander didn't play.
Would Kansas have won the three games it dropped after Alexander rode the bench? Maybe,maybe not.The stats say it's a possibility.
Will Alexander come back? No one knows. Honestly, no one knows anything about Alexander and his predicament. If he leaves, he won't play many minutes in the NBA right away. Alexander is most likely to get significant playing time in the D-League or in Europe. However, if he's deemed eligible and he stays, he could have a better chance of suiting up and potentially starting in the NBA.
Whatever happens, all Kansas fans can say is, "what if?" and wait for some news — good or bad.

The University of Kansas Hospital began building its Cambridge North Patient Tower in Kansas City, Kan., during a groundbreaking ceremony held on March 9. The building is set to open in 2017.
The Cambridge North Tower will add 92 beds to the hospital as well as 28 intensive care beds. In a press release from Medical News Network, hospital president and CEO Bob Page said patient volume has grown by 30 percent over the last five years.
"We have seen an ongoing surge of patients needing our advanced medicine services," Page said. "We have had
a full hospital with record patient demand for the last three months. It has meant we are using all our creativity to provide patients with the high-quality services they are seeking."
said employees at the hospital have had to work longer hours as an effect of the hospital's lack of capacity for patients.
Tsue considered the building an improvement to Kansas City as a whole.

- IT WILL HOUSE ONCOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE TREATMENT
The building will house neurosciences and surgical oncology treatment. Ear, nose and throat cancers will be treated at the building.
Dr. Terry Tsue, an ear, nose and throat cancer physician,
"In order to have a world-class city, you need to have a world-class healthcare facility," Tsue said.
A philanthropy campaign has been launched with the building of Cambridge North
Patient Tower. The hospital plans on raising $100 million toward cancer programs and has already raised $36.6 million. Civic leader Annette Boch donated $10 million toward the cause, according to a press release from KU Medical Center.
"We have really put our money where our mouth is when it comes to improving the quality of our work," Tsue said.
Tue said that physicians at the hospital have also contributed to raising funds.
The full cost of the new building will be $280 million, according to Medical News Network. The cost will not be paid for by state or local taxes.

University officials at Student Health Services say they are prepared to prevent tuberculosis after news of a recent outbreak at a Kansas City-area high school early this month.
If an active case of tuberculosis is found at the University, Student Health Services works with the Douglas County Health Department and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to prevent an outbreak.
On March 4, a student at Olathe Northwest High School in Olathe was diagnosed with active tuberculosis. More than two dozen other students also tested positive, but none have active cases of the bacterial disease, according to the Associated Press.
School administration identified those in contact with the student and tested anyone who may have caught the disease from the individual, according to a press release from the Johnson County Health Department.

Written Paper Assignment
The purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis of the impact of climate change on coastal ecosystems. The paper will include an introduction, a discussion of the key environmental factors affecting coastal ecosystems, and a conclusion that summarizes the findings and implications.
Introduction:
Climate change is a significant threat to coastal ecosystems worldwide. As global temperatures rise, sea levels are expected to increase, leading to erosion of sand and sediment, loss of habitat for marine species, and degradation of coastal vegetation. Climate change also affects human health by increasing the risk of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and malaria-related deaths.
Discussion:
Several factors contribute to the impacts of climate change on coastal ecosystems. These include changes in temperature, salinity, and water flow, increased storm intensity and frequency, and shifts in nutrient cycling. Climate change also affects the migration patterns of coastal species, particularly invertebrates.
Conclusion:
The results of this paper show that climate change has significantly impacted coastal ecosystems. Coastal areas are vulnerable to these changes due to their unique habitats and biodiversity. Therefore, it is essential to take action to mitigate the effects of climate change on coastal ecosystems and ensure their sustainability.

PROGRESSIVE MUNITION
Two University professors at KU Med have published research showing brain health benefits to consuming dairy, especially milk. They confirmed that there is a connection between dairy and gluta-thione levels in the brain. Kansan reporter Allison Crist sat down with the researchers to discuss their findings.
Research links dairy to brain health
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
The researchers studied the diets of 60 older adults to confirm a connection between dairy and glutathione levels in the brain.
Those who consume more dairy have higher levels of glutathione, an antioxidant that can fight off Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
The study was published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
In-Young Choi, an associate professor of neurology and Debra Sullivan, professor and chair of dietetics and nutrition discovered a connection between milk consumption and brain health. After having their research published in The American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition, the two spoke with the Kansan about their findings.
DR. CHOI: I had initially been giving funding to do a study about the many things that change as people age. I focused on antioxidant levels and whether or not brain health is related to what we eat. Originally, I thought if people ate more of foods like broccoli or blueberries, they would have more antioxidants, but the preliminary study showed it's actually dairy foods, especially milk. More specifically, these dairy foods have higher concentrations of glutathione, which can help fight oxidative stress.
KANSAN: What brought about the idea for this study?
KANSAN: What is significant about oxidative stress?
DR.CHOI: The damage it causes has been associated with diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
KANSAN: What did you two do after the preliminary study?
technique that involved quantum physics. Instead of looking at the entire brain, we isolated the molecules we were interested in. Since we can't open up people's skulls, this was our only option to look at the brain.
DR. SULLIVAN: We enrolled 60 older, healthy adults and iater asked them about their diets. We then measured their levels of glutathione using a unique technique employed by Dr. Choi.
KANSAN: What did your participant study conclude?
DR. CHO1: The way these levels were measured was very similar to a regular MRI, but we used a special
DR.CHOI: The people who consumed larger amounts of dairy, especially milk, had higher levels of glutathione in their brains.
KANSAN: Why is milk more substantial compared to other dairy products?
the main ones being cysteine. Milk provides a sufficient amount of cysteine, much more than other products like cheese or yogurt.
DR. CHOI: It has to do with what's in milk. Glutathione is made up of amino acids, one of
KANSAN: Will anything else be done to further this connection?
DR. SULLIVAN: To confirm the relationship, we can do something like an intervention study where we would take older adults who are low dairy consumers, and have them start consuming an adequate amount of dairy to see if this would improve their glutathione levels.

Kansas Supreme Court to consider killer's appeal
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — The Kansas Supreme Court is considering the appeal of a convicted serial killer who stuffed the bodies of several victims into barrels.
John E. Robinson, of Olathe, was convicted and sentenced to die in 2003
in Kansas for the deaths of 27-year-old Suzette Trouten, of Newport, Michigan, and 21-year-old Izabela Lewicka, of West Lafayette, Indiana.
He also received a life sentence in Kansas for the murder of a third woman, whose body was never found, and received life in
prison in Missouri after pleading guilty to five other murders.
Robinson is raising dozens of issues on appeal, including the denial of numerous motions to suppress evidence. Oral arguments will get underway at 9 a.m. Tuesday.

WHAT IS HIIT?
- Free, quick workout that can be easily performed in a dorm or bar while watching the rest of the tournament
- HIIT is a form of exercise training that is challenging and effective

The KU basketball team may no longer be in the tournament, but that doesn't mean March Madness has to end for you. Check out some tips below on how high-intensity interval training (or HIIT) can be performed even when you are sitting at home or out and about in Lawrence watching the tournament.
Sophomore Sarah Bethel exercises in between the track lanes at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center.
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), HIIT is a type of training that involves "repeated bouts of high intensity effort followed by varied recovery times."
You know you are working at a high intensity if your breathing is heavy and you feel uncomfortable. The Mayo Clinic says a "clue" that you are exercising at a high intensity is that you cannot say more than a few words without pausing for a breath. It should feel challenging.
JILL STIVERSON/KANSAI
Kirsten Palmer, a The FIRM instructor and trainer, says any workout can be made more intense by using fullbody movements, increasing your range of motion through the move and varying your recovery time. She also suggests compounding resistance exercises with cardio movements.
The ACSM says HIIT improves aerobic and anaerobic fitness, insulin sensitivity and overall cardiorespiratory health while being easily modified for all persons, including overweight individuals or those with diabetes. They also note its rise in popularity is due to its effectiveness and ability to perform HIIT exercises in a short amount of time with little to no equipment.
This can include a bar or dorm room while watching March Madness tournament games. See for yourself in the following HIIT workout. Make it a game by following the suggestions for in-game activity, such as assigning an exercise move to a specific
play or player. Get your friends involved by assigning each person a team. See who gets the better workout by the end of the game.
WARM-UP: All teams warm-up before a game and you should too. During the pregame, perform the following exercises for a minute each: squat (stand with feet outside hips, then push hips back and down), march or jog in place, step side-to-side, butt kicks (march or jog in place while trying to kick your butt), high knees (march or jog in place while bringing your knees up as high as you can).
WORKOUT: Jump Squats: Start by standing with feet just outside your shoulders, knees soft, and belly braced. Bring shoulders up, back, and down. Then squat, by pushing the hips back and down to the ground like sitting into a chair. Drive out of the heels as you jump up. Land so softly on your feet, then roll back onto your heels into a squat position. For more intensity, swing the arms over head as you jump. For less intensity, take out the jump or raise up to tip toes instead of jumping. Suggestion: Perform three jump squats when your team gets a rebound.
BURPEES: From a standing position, bend your knees enough so that your hands are on the floor. Then walk or jump your feet back to a plank position. Walk or jump the feet forward between the hands, then stand up. For more intensity, lift the hands overhead or jump to start and to finish the move. For less intensity, do not walk the feet
LATERAL LEAPS: Start by standing with feet together. Then jump to the right, landing on the right foot. Immediately jump to the left, moving in a lateral direction, and land on your left foot. Repeat, landing softly on the feet to protect the joints. For more intensity, try to touch the ground as you leap from side-to-side. For less intensity, do not jump as far as or fast. Suggestion: Perform a lateral leap to each side whenever the your team passes the ball.
back as far. Suggestion: Perform three burpees whenever your team makes a layup. If the player misses, perform five burpees.
VARIATIONS: Perform a movement whenever there is downtime. For example, when there is a commercial, timeout or free throw perform jump squats. Then burpees for the next commercial. Continue until the game returns.
games if you are no longer interested in the tournament.
You can also apply these same ideas to baseball or soccer
If you don't want to workout during a game, perform each exercise at a high intensity for 50 seconds, then recover for 10 seconds before moving immediately on to the next exercise. After all five exercises have been performed, rest for up to two minutes. Repeat up to four times.
MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS: Start on the floor with hands directly under shoulders and legs extended (in a plank position). With control, bring one knee toward your chest then return to start and switch legs. For more intensity, increase your speed (though hips should not pike). For less intensity, perform this move with hands on the wall. Suggestion: Did your team make a three-pointer? Perform 10 mountain climbers (five per side).
JUMPING JACKS: Standing with feet together, simultaneously jump both feet out, landing softly. Then immediately jump them back together to return to start. Immediately repeat. For more intensity, swing the arms out to the side and overhead as you jump the feet out. For less intensity, jump one foot out at a time. Suggestion: Perform two jumping jacks whenever your team scores a two-point field goal.
HALF-TIME RECOVERY
HALF-TIME RECOVERY Nutrition is key to staying at the top of your game:
While watching the tournament, keep these nutrition suggestions in mind:
Choose whole foods that have been minimally processed.
Be the friend who brings the "healthy" food to the watch party, like fruit or veggie trays.
If you're of drinking age, choose a beer light in calories. After every alcoholic drink, consume a glass of water.
Choose baked, broiled or grilled over fried entrees.
Ask for dressings and toppings to salads, sandwiches and/or appetizers to come on the side so that you choose how much is being put in your body.
Eat a whole carbohydrate within 30 minutes of exercise and a protein source within 60 minutes of exercise for proper recovery, says the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
COOL-DOWN: Is the game over or are you done working out? You might not see it on television, but all players cool down. Make sure you stretch your glutes, hamstrings, chest, and calves.

FILM ADAPTATIONS

Book-to-movie adaptations essential to today's film culture
Madeline Umali
@madelineumali
When I think about some of my favorite movies, I've found that the ma-
I've found that the majority of them are based on books. Often, people don't even realize that their favorite movies are based on books. And it's not just the quality of the movies that matters — bookto-movie adaptations are financially beneficial to both the author and the movie industry, and help to maintain an active fan base.
Some of my favorite movies of alltime, including "Psycho," "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "Wild," are book adaptations. Although it is usually suggested to read the books before seeing the movie, seeing these movies inspired me to read the books.
Although it's often argued that movies based on books compromise the integrity of the original story line, I completely disagree. There are people who love to see their favorite books turned into films. The majority of readers know not to expect the movie to be completely faithful to the book's story line.
Movies that I didn't even know were originally books like "The Graduate," "It's a wonderful Life" and "Forrest Gump" are film classics. If these books were never adapted into movies, wed be missing a huge part of our film culture.
In addition, movies based on books win some of the most prestigious awards, like Golden Globes, Oscars or Critics' Choice Awards. Recent book adaptations like "The Help," "The Great Gatsby" and "Gone Girl" have been nominated for or have even won several major prizes.
Movies inspired by books are great for those who are too busy to read an entire novel or series. Book adaptations are simple, quick forms
of entertainment.
Even when a book adaptation isn't of the highest quality, people still love to see their favorite characters on the big screen. "Twilight" was criticized for its uncomfortable acting, low-budget production values and overall cheesy plot. In spite of these problems, the series
"IF THESE BOOKS WERE NEVER ADAPTED INTO MOVIES, WE'D BE MISSING A HUGE PART OF OUR FILM CULTURE."
I am not suggesting that movies based on books are better than the books themselves. Books have much more integrity and detail that cannot be replicated in a two-hour production.

Hollywood doesn't do book-to-movie adaptations justice
Victoria Calderon
@WriterVictoriaC
The visuals in book-to-movie adaptations are rarely the problem — seeing how Harry Potter
looks in real life, how the people of the Capitol dress or exploring Middle-earth can be incredible. The best part is seeing admired characters take on a tangible, physical form. While some casting choices are questionable, some, like Leonardo DiCaprio in Shutter Island, are spot-on.
Unfortunately for many avid readers, the films that try to translate the action from our heads to the big screen fall short of our expectations. One of the biggest problems literary fans have with movie adaptations is that the films
"It DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERY GOOD BOOK SHOULD, OR CAN, BE TURNED INTO A MOVIE."
can only contain so much. They have to fit their material inside a two- to three-hour time frame. Viewers become distracted if movies are much longer than this, and the distractions may take away from the viewing experience. While reading, it's easy to put the book down and pick up from where one left off at another time.
One movie that tried to keep too much of the book's plot in one film was "The
Golden Compass." A Rotten Tomatoes review discusses how the movie "is reduced to impressive visuals overcompensating for lax storytelling." The reviews of the movie are polar opposites to the reviews of the book, which has won several awards (including the Carnegie Medal) and has sold more than 15 million copies according to the Economist. An article by What Culture pointed out that "the movie's story was crammed way too tight for its barely two-hour running time."
The consequences of turning books into movies extend beyond disap- pointing fans of the novel, il can also negatively impact Hollywood's wallet. The tradition of using novels' plots for movies and TV shows can cause many directors to take on huge, grandiose projects that don't always work out. By attempting to recreate a beloved classic on screen, they bite off more than they can chew, especially if those classics happen to be in a series. This is the case with the film adaptation of "A Series of Unfortunate Events." The film grossed slightly less than $119 million domestically, which fell way short of its $140 million budget, as TIME reported. Its relative lack of success prevented a sequel from being made. Another example is "I Am Number Four," based on the book by Pittacus Lore. It grossed $5 million less than its budget, leaving little hope for a sequel film.
Although adaptations can be a fantastic representation of the books they are based on, it doesn't mean that every good book should, or can, be turned into a movie. Sometimes, simply reading the words on a page and allowing them to manifest into a movie inside one's brain is better than seeing a director's interpretation of those words on a real, physical screen.

Heavy reliance on thermostats is unnatural
Sebastian Schoneich
@ThingsSebiThink
The EPA reports that excessive air conditioner use produces 100 million tons of carbon dioxide each year.
According to the principle of homeostasis, humans, as biological organisms, are perpetually responding to changes in their internal and external environments in order to maintain a relatively constant body temperature. We also adapt to changing seasons: during summer, 50 degrees feels freezing, compared to some of my classmates wearing flip-flops and shorts when it's 50 degrees in the winter. But in any case, our body temperature remains constant. Without this temperature consistency, we would not feel well - enzymes would not work properly, compounds would not interact smoothly, etc. This does not mean that we need to live in a temperate climate year round; we do and have adapted to changing temperatures appropriately. This idea brings me to the paradox that I have in mind. In this country, heating and cooling is taken to unhealthy and environmentally-harmful extremes.
FILE PHOTO/KANSAI
What I cannot understand is
the extreme nature of heating and cooling by many businesses, grocery stores, private homes, automobiles, etc. In the summer, if you don't bring a sweater with you to the grocery store, you're bound to get a cold. In the winter, it's a race to take layers off before getting into the grocery store sauna. It's an absurd phenomenon: in the summer, I've seen thermostats set in the mid-50s and in the winter, high 70s. It can't be possible that we require such vastly different temperatures in different seasons to reach optimal bodily temperature.
Before air conditioning and heating, people adapted to major temperature changes in simple and efficient ways. If it were cold, you'd wear more layers and eat warmer meals. If it were hot, you'd wear fewer layers and go about your day conscious about the heat: avoiding being in the sun too
heated house into their pre-heated car, and park as close to their destination as they can so that they can sprint into the heated building without getting too cold? I certainly think that laziness has a lot to do with this issue
The EPA reports that air conditioners use around "5 percent of all the electricity produced in the United States."
— given the availability of relatively cheap heating and cooling, some people are able to (and do) wear shorts year round. What's sad and often forgotten about is the environmental waste in terms of energy. The EPA reports that air conditioners use
long, eating lighter foods, drinking more water and so on.
Today, some people can't imagine having to be in an environment in which the temperature is not controlled. During the winter, how many people do you know leave
around "5 percent of all the electricity produced in the United States." The high usage results in an average of 100 million tons of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere each year.
Those who turn their thermostat to extreme temperatures should choose to set more moderate temperatures instead. We should use more energy-efficient methods of dealing with unpleasant temperatures; less energy would be wasted with the same result of helping our bodies maintain their optimal temperatures.
Recent data published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration forecasts a general reduction in average energy consumption of heating fuels
during the wintertime in the coming year, compared to last year. This is wonderful news, and I can only hope this trend continues. Perhaps it is the case that in order to figure out how to properly use cheap energy, we first have to misuse it. It's not natural to constantly live in temperature-controlled environments. Let's reach back to our roots and better appreciate the variety that Kansas presents us. In doing so, we'll be less dependent on machines, less environmentally harmful, and we'll live more naturally in our beautiful world.

Rapper Remy Banks heads to Lawrence with Earl Sweatshirt
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
New York-based rapper Remy Banks doesn't know how he ended up on the Not Redy 2 Leave tour with Earl Sweatshirt and Vince Staples. But with his debut solo album, "higher," set to release in May, he's prepared to perform a slew of shows with Sweatshirt, one of the main members of Odd Future, and his good friend Staples.
Sweatshirt — birth name Thebe Neruda Kgositsile — began his tour in St. Louis just a day after his third project, "I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside," dropped with 10-tracks, including a feature from Vince Staples. His second stop will be in Lawrence tonight.
The three-set tour will be at the Granada where fans can expect some new tracks from Banks' upcoming album and even a smoke break in between his set, according to Banks. The Kansan talked to Banks over the phone before the tour kicked off on Tuesday.
KANSAN: If someone asked you today for a short bio about yourself, what would you tell them?
BANKS: My name is Remy Banks. I'm from Queens, New York. World's Fair general, and I am an wild weed smoker.
KANSAN: When fans come to see you live, what should we expect from you?
BANKS: Bring your lungs, because I have a smoke break in between my set, and also, if I have a blunt I'll pass it out to the crowd. Be expecting some New York raps, man. A little bit of energy, but I like the fans to listen.
KANSAN: A lot of your work thus far has been with New York guys. Are we going to see a little bit more diversification on the next album? Or what can we expect?
BANKS: The album is very low on features because I want it to showcase my talents, and I wanted to tell my story. But I do have a few features on there. I obviously have World's Fair on there, I have Hak from Ratking on there, so I guess those are the only New York features on there. The rest are vocalists from elsewhere, like my boy DRAM — he's from Virginia
— and my homegirl (Syd Bennett) from The Internet.
KANSAN: Vince and Earl are both West Coast guys. How did you end up meeting them, living all the way out in New York?
BANKS: Well I knew (Odd Future) for some time now via MySpace, through their MySPace page. When they did their first show in New York, I was first, and then me and Domo
[Genesis] got really close. I think it was during the New York show when Thebe came back, and I met him. Me and Domo were in the elevator and Thebe and Taco were in the elevator, and we met them. Ever since then it's always been love, every time I see them. I met Vince when I went out to LA, like, just to chill, in 2011, and I ended up going to a studio session where it was me, Mike, and Domo, and Vince came, and that's when Vince came. Like I said, it's always been love since then. Seeing them progress, they obviously come to New York often, so they hit me up whenever they're in town and we kick it.
BANKS: Ever since I was a kid, my teachers, first day of class, they don't know you really so they're like reading your name for attendance, and they'd say, "Oh, Remy Banks, that's a nice name." I was always just like, "I guess." When I started out, I couldn't come up with a rap name. My name was Young Banks as first, then it was R Money Bags. I was just like, man, this is ridiculous. And I just started running with my own name and it started sticking. It just rolls, "Remy Banks," it just rolls easy.
KANSAN: I read that Remy Banks is your birth name, which is pretty cool. When you started rapping, did you just say, "This is what I'm going to go by cause my name is awesome"?
BANKS: Doris was more like the people were... I can't even explain it. Speaking from my personal breathing room, I was highly anticipating Doris, because he was gone for a minute, I knew he was growing as a human being. So I was wondering, "I wonder what his intellect is right now" and I really wanted to hear his raps. When it first came out, a lot of people were expecting older Earl, but it was a more mature Earl. So I was like, "Wow." I'm sure he's just going to get better and better with time. "I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside" tunes me right. That shit is so fire. He's just growing as an MC, and as a producer. It's really incredible.
KANSAN: How do you think Earl's new album, "I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside"; stands up to "Doris"?
KANSAN: Your songs are kind of centered around New York boom-bap, which is a classic sound, but how do you keep it interesting and new?
BANKS: We're in the turn-up generation. Everybody wants to turn up nowadays. They go to shows, they want to do this, they want to do that. For me, you know, I'm very calm, I'm a chill dude, I like to smoke, I like to relax. I really want people to listen to my lyrics. So I do have energy, yeah, I bring energy to the set. But the thing is, when it comes to me and my music, I start working from a chord, and then I branch out. If I do feel like I need to bring a record that brings energy, I will start with the bars first, and then me and my produced Black Noise, we'll build on the beat to bring it to wherever direction we want to bring it to. So that's how that really happens.
KANSAN: What is being yourself and telling your story, to you?
Also, that's how the project came about. We need to figure out a way where I can get my point across by being myself, but also making sure this shit is interesting. We literally just went into the lab, like scientists, and just made this project.
BANKS: I travel a lot. I smoke a lot. That all ties into me growing as an individual. The name of the project is called "higher," not just because I smoke weed, or because it's a weed reference, but the project is more about expanding or growing as an individual, you know. Expanding your mind, learning new things, and growing as a person. I feel like I've done that over the years, especially in the process of working on this
recall memorizing by heart. That was like the first rap video I've ever seen as a kid in the Golden Era. I guess you could say that ties into my music, because that's all I know, really, and that's the type of music that I gravitate toward. I'm like the second-coming of that. I pay homage as much as I can.
KANSAN: What do you listen to now?
BANKS: To be honest I don't
"WE'RE IN THE TURN-UP GENERATION. EVERYBODY WANTS TO TURN UP NOWADAYS. THEY GO TO SHOWS, THEY WANT TO DO THIS, THEY WANT TO DO THAT. FOR ME, YOU KNOW, I'M VERY CALM, I'M A CHILL DUDE, I LIKE TO SMOKE, I LIKE TO RELAX. I REALLY WANT PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO MY LYRICS."
project. So you'll hear a lot of that on the project. It's literally like a diary of my life over the last two years.
BANKS: Nah, I've been working on it for a year and maybe a couple months. A lot of past experiences from right before I started working on it tied into it.

KANSAN: Have you been working on it for two years?
RANSAR: My two favorite songs I've heard from you are "rem," and the "g-unit freestyle." Both have them have New York and Wu-Tang references. How much of an influence has growing up in the New York rap scene had on your music that you make?
BANKS: Wu-Tang, my or god,
"Da' Mystery of Chessboxin"
was the first rap song I really
really listen to much outside of World's Fair, I listen to Rating, I listen to Earl, I listen to Domo, he sent me a new shit to my email; that's like my brother, we have like an uncanny bond. I listen to a lot of beats, a lot of instrumentals. That's really my thing. I love instrumentals. Having Black Noise on the road with me as my DJ, he's also my producer, whatever he cooks up, I always bump.
KANSAN: That's all I've got. I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow after St. Louis tonight then.
BANKS: We're already in St. Louis, just in the bus trappin' Kansas is going to be tight, guide me to the dope if you can.

March: a month of madness, basketball and brackets. This year, the dating site WhatSYourPrice.com has filled out a different sort of bracket.
The site is self-described as a "Dating-for-Dollars" website that allows "Generous" members to bid and pay for first dates with other users. The front page of their website claims that men can "Get the date by simply using your wallet." Money is exchanged during the date, and second dates may be arranged either online or off.
The site has released its own March Madness bracket in which it ranks "America's Hottest Coeds." The site used data based off of the average first date prices of college coeds using What's YourPrice.com.
And the National Champion of the tournament is none other than: the University of Kansas. At least now,we can say we beat WSU at least once
this year, right?
The site offers free premium memberships for anyone who registers with a university email account. Paste Magazine writer Shane Ryan points out that the data from the study could potentially include graduates still using their email addresses, if the university allows that after a student graduates.
According to the website, the rankings were determined by pulling data from accounts that registered with a "edu" email and universities based on the actual prices men are willing to pay for a first date with a female student.

Angelina Jolie undergoes further preventive surgery
DANICA KIRKA Associated Press
LONDON
Writing in The New, York Times, the filmmaker and philanthropist said a recent blood test showed a possible early sign of cancer. The news was a blow to the star who had already had a double mastectomy.
"I went through what I imagine thousands of other women have felt," she wrote. "I told myself to stay calm, to be strong, and that I had no reason to think I wouldn't live to see my children grow up and to meet my grandchildren."
breast cancer gene that puts her at high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Her mother died of ovarian cancer, and her maternal grandmother also had ovarian cancer — strong evidence of an inherited, genetic risk that led the actress to have her healthy breasts removed to try to avoid the same fate.
Only a small percentage of women inherit the same faulty gene, known as BRCA1 — the name stands for breast cancer susceptibility gene. These mutations are most commonly found in women of Eastern European Jewish descent, though other groups, including the Norwegian, Dutch and Icelandic, also have slightly higher rates of these mutations.
The average woman has a 12 percent risk of developing breast cancer sometime during her life. Women who have inherited a faulty BRCA gene are about five times more
likely to get breast cancer
Jolie said that while having the gene mutation alone was not a reason to resort to surgery - other medical options were possible - her family history influenced her decision to have further surgery now. The surgery puts a woman in menopause and Jolie wrote she's now taking hormones.
Her courageous decision to publicly announce her double mastectomy was praised as a watershed moment in efforts to persuade women to get breast cancer screening — and to raise awareness of the need for early detection. The same sense of mission led her to write about her follow-up care, although she said her decision wasn't necessarily the right one for everyone.
"There is more than one way to deal with any health issue," she wrote. "The most important thing is to learn about the options and
Coming forward to tell her story will play a vital role in raising awareness, those who work for cancer charities say. They hope other women at risk will be encouraged to speak with their doctors.
choose what is right for you personally."
"Angelina Jolie has made a really brave decision," Katherine Taylor, acting chief executive of Ovarian Cancer Action. "It immediately puts the person into surgical menopause so it is not a decision to take lightly."
Jolie's article makes plain the anguish the results of the new blood tests brought. She said she immediately called her husband, actor Brad Pitt, who flew home from France within hours.
"The beautiful thing about such moments in life is that there is so much clarity," she wrote. "You know what you live for and what matters. It is polarizing, and it is peaceful."

Which spring sport should you be most excited about?
Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes
BASEBALL
When Kansas basketball took an early exit in the NCAA Tournament. Kansas sports fans needed to find another outlet for their Jayhawk pride. It's hard to convince those fans to pour their pride into a team whose record is below .500, but Ritch Price's Kansas baseball team is no ordinary team under .500.
The Jayhawk baseball team sits at just 9-14 with one game remaining until conference play. They've played a tough schedule throughout the year, which started with a three game series at Alex Box Stadium against LSU.
Despite a tough going in the early part of the year, seniors Connor McKay and Blair Beck lead a lajayh offense that averages five runs a contest. It's an offense that has
Ritch Price has also coached a defense that has made just 30 errors all season and has a fielding percentage of 97. They've also supplied the world of college baseball with a steady stream of incredible highlights.
Who could forget center fielder Joven Afenir's two catches on consecutive days in the Utah series?
What about Connor McKay robbing a home run in the Iowa series? Justin Protocio has also provided Kansas fans with a stream of solid defense and incredibly athletic plays.
already homered twelve times and hits for a .282 average.
But that's exactly the point. The pitchers are due for some major improvements. Led by the experience of Drew Morovick and Stephen Villines, who each pitched on last year's team that went to the Louisville regional, the young staff will undoubtedly develop.
In fact, the only thing that has kept the Jayhawks from more wins is pitching. Kansas has a team ERA of 5.83, and has only one starter who started games last year.
upcoming schedule, which features contests against four teams ranked in the top 25, they've put up enough offense to compete in every contest.
In the world of college baseball, a consistently good and powerful offense is hard to find.
Despite the Jayhawks'
"...THE ONLY THING THAT HAS KEPT THE JAYHAWKS FROM MORE WINS IS PITCHING."
Kansas will need their pitching to step up when they face two of the best staffs in the country—Texas and TCU—but their offense is certainly enough to carry them to victories.
Ritch Price has coached up a team that's fun to watch and he plays a very attractive brand of baseball. They're also coming off one of their best seasons in the Price era, and they play in one of the best conferences in the country.
There's a lot to be excited about with Kansas baseball, whether it's the high flying offense, the athletic defense or the young promising aces.
SOFTBALL

@Ncouz
But the most exciting part is watching them all develop.
Well KU fans, basketball season has unfortunately ended, and it's time to shift our attention to spring sports. The end of basketball season overlaps the beginning of spring sports' seasons, so they tend to get overlooked. But they
"...KU SOFTBALL LOVES GETTING VICTORIES FROM THE WALK-OFF, SO FOR WHOEVER LOVES SEEING WALK-OFF FINISHES THIS IS THE TEAM TO WATCH."

shouldn't be.
KU softball has gone above and beyond what has been expected from them since the start of the season. KU softball has started the year with a program best of 29-2, and only one game remains before conference play kicks off this weekend.
The Jayhawks' two losses come from the No.1 team ranked in the nation, the Florida Gators, on their home diamond, and Chattanooga, who reached the Super Regionals in last year's NCAA Championship. KU softball also set milestones this past weekend in their home opening series.
Coach Megan Smith tallied her 300th win of her KU coaching career, and senior utility player Maddie Stein became the all-time leader in RBIs for the KU softball program. She tied it previously to the Georgia State game, where she broke the record. KU softball is also a great team to watch simply because of their offensive production.
Earlier this year, in a game against New Mexico State, they scored 25 runs.
However, that's not the only time the Jayhawks have produced double-digit run totals; they've done it seven times. They scored 10 runs against Liberty, Idaho State, Stetson and Illinois State, 11 runs against Chattanooga and 13 against Eastern Michigan.
If that's not impressive enough, KU softball loves getting victories from the walk-off, so for whoever loves seeing walk-off finishes, this is the team to watch.
This past weekend, they won in walk-off fashion against Georgia State 5-4. Not only does their offense come in bunches, but their pitching staff is extraordinary lead by senior Alicia Pille, who has an astonishing 18-0 record against opponents this season.
Adding to her stats this season is a team-low 1.95 ERA, with 16 of her 18 games having pitched a complete 7-inning game.
These stats and facts should be enough reason to send KU fans out to Arrocha Park this spring. KU fans, take some time out of your schedule to watch these girls at work. Your time will be well spent.

Emotional Nicklaus awarded congressional gold medal

WASHINGTON - The Golden Bear got a gold medal. Congress on Tuesday awarded its highest civilian honor to golfing great Jack Nicklaus, who accepted the medal with a few tears, humility and humor.
In a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda, the House and Senate leadership bestowed the award on Nicklaus, winner of 18 major championships, including six Masters titles, five PGA championships and four U.S. Opens.

"Few transcend their sport to achieve that kind of moment, or this kind of honor," said House Speaker John Boehner, an avid golfer who grew emotional at times during the ceremony. "With Arnie (Palmer), it was how he brought an audience to the game - an army. With Jack, it's how he gave the game a gold standard - a ladder to climb."
The 75-year-old Nicklaus, dubbed the Golden Bear, recalled the hard work of his parents, praised his family and paid tribute to his wife, Barbara. He recalled that when his son Jack was six, he was asked what his father did for a living. The younger Nicklaus said, "Nothing, he just plays golf."
An emotional Nicklaus told his family that his whole life he wanted to make them proud of him, and "hopefully I have."
The speakers, from congressional leaders to Nicklaus' son, recalled the drama of the golfer's 1986 win at the Masters. They praised Nicklaus' charitable work, including the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation, which recently pledged $60 million to the Miami Children's Health System.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Nicklaus had a brush with polio as a teenager. McConnell said that as a fellow survivor of polio he appreciated Nicklaus' perseverance.
Attending the ceremony for Nicklaus was golfing legend Arnold Palmer. The Ohio State marching band performed for the Ohio-born Nicklaus.

Texas hosts Kansas track for start of outdoor season
GRAYDON MELIA
@gimelia
The Kansas track and field team begins its 2015 outdoor campaign with the Texas Relays on Wednesday in Austin, Texas. The events are hosted by the University of Texas, and are held through Saturday.
Junior pole vaulter Casey Bowen and senior pentathlete Lindsay Vollmer, the two Kansas athletes who competed in the NCAA Indoor Championships on March 13-14, will not be competing in this week's meet. Bowen finished seventh in the men's pole vault, and Vollmer finished 14th in the women's pentathlon.
The Relays begin at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday with four of the seven women's heptathlon events. At 11 a.m., five of the 10
events in the men's decathlon will take place, finishing off Wednesday's events.
Junior sprinter and jumper Sydney Conley will be competing in the . sprint medley and the long jump, which will both take place Saturday. Conley said that the adjustment from indoor to outdoor is to just getting used to the environment and dealing with outdoor elements.
"Indoor is just a preview of what your outdoor meet is going to look like," Conley said. "You train through indoor most of the time, so come outdoor it's a whole different level. You never know what you're going to get in competition, because it's outdoor and everybody's on."
Junior distance runner Rhavean King also said the conditions play a role in the outdoor season, and each
athlete must prepare for them. However King said the team doesn't treat the competition they are up against any different than indoor season.
"I don't feel like we approach competition any differently," King said. "We go out and try to have our best performances and win."
Conley, Vollmer and the rest of the women's team enter the season ranked 25th of the preseason U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Association rankings.
"We have a lot of great coaches, a lot of great resources that have allowed us to be in the Top 25 for the past five years," King said. "As far as the team goes, I feel like it serves as motivation to keep having the program in the Top 25."

Witness Jennifer Mercado, a cousin of defendant Aaron Hernandez, testifies during the murder trial of the former New England Patriots NFL football player at Bristol County Superior Court, Tuesday in Fall River, Mass. Hernandez is charged with killing semiprofessional football player Odn Lloyd in June 2013.
Hernandez cousin made to testify can't recall facts
MICHELLE R. SMITH Associated Press
FALL RIVER, Mass. — A cousin of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez took the stand in his murder trial Tuesday after being ordered to testify, giving him a big smile and telling the prosecutor she couldn't remember details of what happened in the days surrounding the killing.
Jennifer Mercado was granted immunity before being called as a witness by the prosecution, which has charged Hernandez with murder for the June 17, 2013, killing of Odin Lloyd. Lloyd, 27, was dating the sister of Hernander's fiancee.
Mercado smiled at Hernandez, 25, from the witness box as she testified, contradicting herself and saying her memory was bad. As she was questioned by prosecutor William
When asked if there was something that interferes with her memory, Mercado said she takes medications for post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and major depression.
McCauley, she told jurors dozens of times that she could not recall what she saw and did. She also said she couldn't remember details she recalled for the grand jury that investigated the Lloyd killing.
She did say, however, that she remembered Hernandez telling her he was innocent.
Mercado's sister, Tanya Singleton, who lives with Mercado, pleaded guilty to criminal contempt and spent seven months behind bars for failing to testify before the grand jury. Singleton
"I don't remember. It was a long time ago," she said, after being asked about conversations she had with Hernandez after he was arrested.
nas also pleaded not guilty to helping Hernandez codefendant Ernest Wallace flee to Georgia after the killing. Wallace and Carlos Ortiz have pleaded not guilty to the killing and will be tried later.
Mercado described the relationship her sister had with Hernandez as close and said Singleton treated him as a son. Singleton's oldest son, who is 8, in turn looked up to Hernandez as a surrogate father, calling him "Daddy Aaron," she said.
On questioning from McCauley, Mercado first testified that she did not recall having a conversation with Hernandez about getting money or about getting money for her sister. But as McCauley pressed the point, she conceded she did talk to him about getting money for her sister to make her more comfortable with things like food and cosmetics while she sat in jail.

Jayhawks' season ends sour, but future looks bright
TCU PERIOD adidas
Chris Sitek
@ChrisSitek
The Kansas bench cheers after junior forward Perry Ellis' slam dunk against TCU on Feb. 21. Kansas lost in this year's NCAA Tournament Round of 32 against the Wichita State Shockers on Sunday.
BROOK BARNES/KANSAN
The Kansas Jayhawks have been one of the most dominant NCAA basketball teams in college basketball by being the second-most-winning team in the NCAA, according to sports-reference.com. This year followed suit with the Jayhawks winning their 11th consecutive Big 12 Title, winning 27 games and making the NCAA Tournament for the 25th consecutive time.
Sunday marked the second consecutive early exit with Kansas falling to Wichita State, 78-65 in the field of 32. But upon analysis, there are many positive takeaways from this season looking forward. According to KUsports, Kansas' roster is full of young players with five freshmen, five sophomores, four juniors, and one senior.
The core of sophomores, Frank Mason III, Wayne Selden Jr. and freshman reserve Devonte' Graham, appear to be a deep frontcourt looking forward. Mason is the second-leading scorer on the team at 12.6 points per game and Selden Jr. is the third at 9.4 points per game, according to ESPN. Pairing this with a healthy forward Perry Ellis (the team's leading scorer at 13.8 points per game), and reserve players in Jamari Traylor, Hunter Mickelson and Landen Lucas, the Jayhawks are looking to build on their 27-game-winning
season. Kansas welcomes another strong recruiting class, already receiving a commitment from Carlton Bragg, a 6-foot-9 forward from Villa-Angela St. Joseph High School in Cleveland.
Bragg is a five-star recruit that's listed as the 15th-ranked high school prospect by Rivals.com. Other prospects considering KU include No. 2-ranked forward Jaylen Brown of Wheeler High (Georgia),No. 3 guard Malik Newman of Callaway High (Mississippi). No.5 center Thon Maker of Orangeville Prep (Ontario),
No. 8 forward Ivan Rabb of Bishop O'Dowd (Oakland),
No. 11 center Stephen Zimmerman of Bishop Gorman High (Las Vegas)
and No. 19 forward Brandon Ingram of Kinston High
(North Carolina).
Just as the Jayhawks return players, they could be susceptible to losing some. Kelly Oubre Jr. is listed as the 11th pick and forward Cliff Alexander as the 24th in the upcoming NBA Draft, according to ESPN's Chad Ford. The 2014-2015 season can be viewed as a disappointment
osing so early in the NCAA Tournament, but I believe this team grew throughout the season. With the emergence of players such as sophomore Brannen Greene who shot 40 percent from three, good for third on the team, and freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr, who was fourth on the team with 9.4 points per game via ESPN, Kansas improved all year.
The Jayhawks also gained valuable experience reaching the Big 12 Tournament Championship Game and going a perfect (16-0) at home and (6-3) at neutral
sites, according to kuathletics. com. Kansas was continually battle tested game-in and game-out in the Big 12 where only two teams had a losing record, five of these teams were ranked in the Top 25 and seven of the 10 total teams reached the NCAA Tournament, according to ESPN.The 2015-2016 season has a lot of unknowns but the Kansas men's basketball team will be looking to build on the 2014-2015 season as they aim for their 12th consecutive Big 12 Title and more this fall.

Chaos defines end of NCAA Tournament games
DAVE SKRETTA
Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — In the 2008 national championship, with Kansas trailing Memphis by three and 10.8 seconds left in the game, coach Bill Self called for his team to run a play called "Chop."
The play, designed to provide multiple scoring options in moments of desperation, began with Sherron Collins dribbling up the court. Veering to his right, Collins handed off to Mario Chalmers at the top of the key, and Chalmers took the first of his options: He shot the 3-pointer.

It splashed through the net to force overtime.
some memorable finishes.
Kansas went on to win the title, and that perfectly executed play became known as "Mario's Miracle." And if anybody thinks calling it a miracle is hyperbole, well, chances are they haven't been watching as teams flounder through the final minutes in this year's NCAA Tournament.
Turnovers, missed shots, poor coaching and worse execution. Just call it organized chaos, late-game blunders that have nevertheless produced
MORRY GASH/ASSOCIATED PRESS
"First of all, the reason you struggle in games is because the other team's pretty doggone good," explained North Carolina coach Roy Williams, whose team survived two close games to reach the Sweet 16. "The other thing is the attention, the pressure they're still 18-, 19-, 20-year-old kids. I mean, they're not going to get it right."
Indeed, many of today's brightest stars are freshmen and sophomore, players unaccustomed to the size of the game's stage. That dearth of veteran leaders, several coaches have argued, is also one of the big reasons that that scoring continued its downward trend this season.
+
Another reason for the late-game flubs: Low- and mid-majors are often trying to upset a heavyweight, and the talent gap becomes more pronounced when the game is on the line.
Young was promptly stripped by the Cardinals' Terry Rozier, a turnover 40 feet from the hoop that prevented the Big West champs from even attempting a tying shot.
The Anteaters were inbounding the ball near midcourt, trailing 57-55 with about 6 seconds left. Alex
"We had a quick play lined up and unfortunately I lost the ball," Young said. "We couldn't get a timeout, and it just happens. It's basketball."
Speaking of timeouts, Northeastern burned through its allotment in the second half against Notre Dame, leaving coach Bill Coen unable to set up a final play with the Huskies trailing by two in the closing seconds. Instead of getting a tying shot off, Quincy Ford coughed up the ball, and the Fighting Irish added a couple of free throws to seal the victory.
That appeared to be the case last Thursday, when UC-Irvine had Louisville on the ropes.
Miami Heat's Mario Chalmers (15) shoots past Milwaukee Bucks' Michael Carter-Williams (5) during the first half of Tuesday's game in Milwaukee. Chalmer's shot known as "Mario's Miracle" in the 2008 national championship is just one example of how chaotic play becomes in the NCAA Tournament.
Valpo was trailing Maryland 65-62 with time running out on Friday, and Keith Carter got stuck in the corner in front of his own bench. He never even got a 3-pointer off.
"Iill take the blame from that," Drew said afterward.
"I thought Maryland did a really good job. We tried to do something a little different off one of the plays we usually run."
Irvine and Northeastern weren't the only teams that failed to get shots off with the game on the line, either. The same thing happened to Valparaiso, whose coach Bryce Drew knocked down that infamous 3-pointer that sent the Crusaders past Ole Miss in 1998.
When the Jayhawks flawlessly ran "Chop" in the 2008 title game, they had practiced that exact play hundreds of times. And the person who took the 3-pointer? Chalmers, a seasoned junior.
Asked about his timeout dilemma, Coen replied: "I wish we'd had one left."
"There is a lot of pressure," acknowledged Williams, who whose Tar Heels survived a tense finish against Harvard in their NCAA opener. "You've got to find some kids that can block all that out, and especially if they're really, really talented, you've got a better chance."
North Carolina took a 67-65 lead on the Crimson on a run-out with 23.8 seconds left. But rather than go to the basket for a layup or to draw a foul, Harvard's Wesley Saunders let loose a tightly guard 3-pointer
with almost no time left that bounced off the back of the rim.
The Tar Heels advanced. The Crimson headed home.
"We certainly have situations that we go over when we're down one possession and
things that we're looking for," Harvard coach Tommy Amaker said. "Wesley is our playmaker. ... If he was going to get a three, get a drive, get a two, we were going to live with his decision there."

COMMENTARY Big 12:The big losers of the Big Dance
Michigan State. West Virginia ia will face the heavy favorite to win it all, Kentucky, who is en route to the first 40-0 season in college basketball history.
Shane Jackson
@jacksonshane3
The Big 12 has been proclaimed as the best basketball conference all year long. Evidence supported this, because it had the best RPI in the country.
No pressure. But what's at stake? Perhaps just the credibility of the conference.
9-12. That is the combined record by the Big 12 in the 2013 and 2014 NCAA Tournaments.
5-5. That is the record of the Big 12 in this year's tournament, with only two of the seven teams remaining.
The conference sent more teams than any other conference in the country to the Big Dance.
In order to avoid the third consecutive season where the Big 12 posts a losing record in the tournament, someone must make an improbable final four run.
Oklahoma will face a seven seed with a rich tradition of tournament success in the Sweet 16.
Edited by Victoria Kirk
Kansas a two seed, three number three seeds (Iowa State, Baylor, and Oklahoma), West Virginia a four. Only Oklahoma State (9) and Texas (11) were ranked a lower seed.
Big 12 fans can argue until they are blue in the face, but at the end of the day, the numbers are what they are until the Big 12 proves otherwise.
But to me, the best conference in basketball is about who has the most elite teams. The ACC fits the bill, with a tourney best of five sweet 16 teams, and an impressive 11-1 record in the tournament thus far.
So why are there only two teams playing in the second weekend? The answer: March Madness.
But when it's an every year routine to have Big 12 teams booted out of the Big Dance early, the mayhem of March stops being a valid excuse—especially when the conference claims to be the best. The Big 12 is certainly the deepest conference in the country. If that's how you determine what qualifies as the best conference, then the Big 12 is still king.
UAB froze the red hot Cyclones coming off a Big 12 tournament championship on day one, with a 60-59 victory.
Georgia State's R.J. Hunter drilled a game winner from another zip code against Baylor, forcing his father/coach to fall off his stool in disbelief.
Of course, this is March Madness and anything can happen. That's why we love the NCAA Tournament.
Kansas was thumped out in the first weekend for the second consecutive year, but this time, off a shocking defeat from in-state foe Wichita State.

Senior first baseman Blair Beck tags a man out at first base against Central Michigan on March 10. Kansas lost its third straight game yesterday against Missouri State 15-9
Jayhawks lose before conference play
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
Kansas baseball dropped its third straight game Tuesday night after Missouri State bested the jayhawks in an offensive battle 15-9.
The Jayhawks sparked early in the first inning, with three quick runs, including a two RBI double by senior Blair Beck. However, when the Bears responded in the bottom of the inning with three runs of their own, the score evened up quicker than the Jayhawks would have liked.
It was apparent that offense
would be the theme of the day early in the game. The Jayhawks' Michael Tinsley put three more on the board with a three RBI double to right-field, making the score 6-3 in just an inning and a half.
After a monster performance to start the game, the runs would slow down but by no means come to a halt.
The Bears earned a single run in the bottom of the third, bringing them within two runs, and both teams would add on two apiece in the fourth inning, which featured a two-run bomb to right field by Missouri State's Matt Fultz.
The fifth inning was very
active, but didn't go well for the Jayhawks. After loading the bases due to a series of walks, the Jayhawks were unable to capitalize on the opportunity and failed to bring in any runs.
The same cannot be said for the Bears.
Although the Bears only racked up two hits in the bottom of the fifth, they utilized walks and took advantage of an error to tally on four runs to put them up 10-8.
After another scoreless jayhawks inning, the Bears carried their magic over to the bottom of the fifth. Tate
Matheny joined Fultz and crushed another two run homer to right field. After adding on three more runs, the Jayhawks were finally able to bring the inning to an end after a six hit, five run performance.
The Jayhawks were down seven runs with only three innings to salvage a comeback, but they could not conjure up their own magic. They were only able to score one run throughout the rest of the night, dropping the game to the Bears 9-15.
As the Jayhawks get set to begin Big 12 play, a loss was not the ideal outcome. But the
performance by the layhawks' batters gives the team some needed encouragement.
Tinsley and Beck each shined, earning three RBI's against the Bears as they led the team for the season with 19 and 20 respectively. Colby Wright also extended his unique NCAA leading statistic of being hit by a pitch for the 13th time this year.
The Jayhawks will travel to Lubbock, Texas to begin Big 12 conference play on Friday as they take on Texas Tech in a three-game weekend series.

First spring football practice implements Beaty's fast-paced offense, competition
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
If you heard music echoing through Jayhawk Boulevard during the rainy evening on Tuesday, it wasn't coming from any classes. That noise was football ringing through the campus once again, but this time, with a new coach.
The David Beaty era officially began with the first spring practice of the semester, which featured fastpaced drills, a short weather delay, competition, and, of course, blaring music from a single speaker sporting the Jayhawk logo.
"It's been a long time coming since December 5," Beaty said of his wait to get on the field since he was hired as head coach. "I've got to do a lot of fun things since I've gotten this job, but today was by far the funnest."
As for the music, it's a lot more for Beaty than just keeping his players excited and keeping their blood flowing. It's Beaty trying to give his team a jump on Big
12 competition.
"We communicate nonverbally; we do it in the weight room, we do it everywhere we go," Beaty said. "We know that we have to operate on tempo, particularly within this conference, and that people do it in loud environments. We're not going to wait until Thursday before the game to play crowd noise. We're going to do it every single day. Details matter."
"Tempo" is going to be a signature of the Jayhawks during the Beaty era, and a word that will be heard over and over again. The Jayhawks ran 94 plays in 44 minutes (2.1 per minute) of 11-on-11 in the team's first practice of the year, a number that impressed Beaty but didn't quite satisfy him.
"Tempo is very important to us," Beaty said. "It's a characteristic that we're going to possess on offense and defense. Wed like to get more in in a shorter period of time, but that's not a bad start. Execution wise, we value accurate execution, and we
With over 80 guys currently on the squad, the rotations during 11-on-11 were constant. Five quarterbacks took at least one snap during 11-on-11 drills, as well as
certainly didn't have all of that today."
"You don't keep good coaches if you try to coach over them. Those guys are really good. I'm going to let them do their job."
DAVID BEATY Kansas football coach
another five running backs.
As for the first team offense, it was Michael Cummings under-center. But that doesn't mean Beaty has a depth chart set in stone; it was only a testament to Cummings' offseason workout testing. Beaty said.
"They're entitled to nothing, and they have to earn everything. They've bought into that," Beaty said. "Don't
read too much into it, because we need to get in there and watch that video today. One day does not make a man. It's one day after another after another. We've heard about some guys, but we need to learn it for ourselves."
On Beaty's first day as a college football head coach, he was forced to watch with a less hands-on approach during position drills. But he hired his position coaches for a reason, and he's working on learning his role in his new job.
"My job has changed a lot, it's shifted, really." Beaty said. "You don't keep good coaches if you try to coach over them. Those guys are really good. I'm going to let them do their job."
When it comes time,it'll be not only Beaty, but also the position coaches deciding who starts on Saturdays. But the quarterback contest could come all the way down to the day of the first game,he said, and he didn't rule out anyone, even giving TJ.Millweard a hat-tip for his intelligence.
As for injuries, Beaty said the team is relatively healthy, but some players are still dealing with surgeries. Redshirt senior running back Taylor Cox was out on the practice field for the first time since tearing his Achilles early last season, and Beaty said he's "doing OK".
"Just about all of it will be [up to the position coaches]," Beaty said. "When it comes to the quarterback, coach Likens and I will make that decision together. It'll be a joint venture, and it'll be a team venture. When we make that decision, it will be a one man deal. We will not rotate quarterbacks."
Though none are serious, many of other Jayhawks are also coming off shoulder surgeries — sophomore linebacker Joe Dineen, Jr., sophomore running back Corey Avery, sophomore offensive lineman Joe Gibson, junior offensive lineman Will Smith and sophomore cornerback Colin Spencer.

Spencer Museum of Art to close for renovations in April
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Spencer Museum of Art will close on April 12th to begin renovations. The museum is expected to reopen by mid-2016.
The Spencer Museum of Art will close its doors on April 12 for the first phase of renovations that will, among other improvements, expand the lobby, create more study spaces, implement floor-to-ceiling windows for natural light and
add a central staircase and elevator.
"The wonderful thing about phase one is that it really centers on our primary role as a university art museum," Director of External Affairs Margaret Perkins-McGuinness said. "A lot of emphasis has gone into aspects of the project that allows us to work
with faculty and students and student groups. These changes are really enhancing our ability to do that well and serve more students."
Perkins-McGuinness said the first phase is expected to be completed by mid-2016. Once it is completed, fundraising efforts for phase two will begin to completely renovate the
museum and expand it more fully.
Rachel Donovan, a sophomore from Olathe majoring in visual communication design, said she spends nearly every other day in the museum and looks forward to the upcoming

University retention rates for black freshmen decrease in Fall 2014
JAZMINE POLK
@JazThejourney
A record number of black freshmen attended the University this fall, but 19 percent of those students have left the University, according to retention figures released by the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) this week.
The retention rate of black freshmen has continued to decline from 2010, when the retention rate was 94.6 percent compared to 81.1 percent this year. Overall, the University retained 92 percent of its overall freshmen, and 89 percent of its minority students from the fall 2014 semester. Those percentages have generally remained steady over the past five years.
At the start of the fall 2014 semester, the 3,977-student freshman class included 238 black students. About 45 of those students have left the University.
KU developed several programs in the last few years to recruit and retain blacks and other minority students. Administration officials and student leaders said there are a number of reasons why black students leave after a short time on campus, including financial aid and academic preparedness, but also said they believe the primary reason is a lack of connection to the University.
"What it comes down to is could they find their place on campus?" said Precious Por-

Student Senate breaks down next year's fees
ALANA FLINN
@alana_flinn
Editor's note: These changes must be approved by full Senate before they are official.
In Wednesday night's Student Senate committee meetings, finance committee finalized the fee review that will then go on to full senate next week. Included are fees that received an increase or a decrease as well as finance committee members' reasoning for the possible fee changes.
WHAT'S GETTING AN INCREASE
What: Student Health Fee-Operations
What they were previously funded: $118.44
What they will be funded now: $122.00
Why:"Health care costs are increasing across the board and in order for Watkins to operate sufficiently for students and above a negative account, it was increased 3 percent," junior finance chair Jessie Pringle said.
Don't Forget
What: Student Senate Activity Fee
"The campus transit contracts for three buses every couple of years and in order to fulfill that contract, it required an increase of one dollar and 10 cents."
JESSIE PRINGLE Junior finance chain
What they were previously funded: $19.50

The cuts to higher education and importance of diversity at the University of Kansas were prominent topics during Wednesday's chat with Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little. Concern over the possible effects of the recent allotments by Gov. Sam Brownback in conjunction with the loss of $4.7 million are just some of the budget concerns.

With the two percent reduction in funds, Gray-Little said the major question is whether or not the cuts will continue for upcoming years, in light of the state budget crisis.

Why: "They had a reserve account of about $75,000, so we want them to spend down their reserve, do some projects they are looking at and spend the money on environmental projects. Once they have spent the reserve down, they can come back and ask for money. But now it is not smart to keep pouring money in if not enough is being spent out," Sniezek said.

Why: "They have a big reserve account, so with our new director of diversity and inclusion, she's up to the outreach that many cultural groups weren't aware of, so we tend to see an increase in requests for the fund, but we don't want to decrease it too much," Sniezek said. "The goal was to decrease it a little bit so they could spend the

The student safety advisory board requested an increase to 50 cents, which passed finance two weeks ago. Tonight, it was moved down to zero again.
Why: "For right now, the student safety board has a reserve account of about $100,000 and that's enough money to do their priority projects before we give them more money. We still think that they are important, we just think they need to run their reserve down first."

"I think that as far learning at the Spencer, it'll be better because the spaces now are very small, as far as seeing the stuff in person," she said. "I think it'll be better for students seeing it up close rather than standing the five feet from the wall."
Perkins-McGuinness said the museum serves more than 10,000 University students, but currently, it does not have a central staircase or elevator, forcing visitors to leave the museum to visit a different floor. Under phase
March 28 from 12 to 5 p.m. — Multicultural Arts Festival at Spencer and Kansas Union
April 1 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. — Performance: Soundwall presented by KU's Percussion Group
In 2010, the Spencer chose globally-known architectural firm Pei Cobb Freed and Partners to renovate and expand the museum. To date, the museum has raised more than $5 million for phase one from individuals and foundations across the country. Elizabeth Kanost, the museum's communications director, wrote in an email that the University will contribute financial support for educational technology and equipment for the project.
April 4 at 4 p.m. — Springtime tea party
April 11 at 4 p.m. — MoonDrop Circus will perform circus acts with a twist inside the galleries and offer demos April 12 from 12 to 3 p.m. — Day of Creativity
"What was presented by the firm represented a deep understanding of us as a university art museum and a willingness to explore with us what aspects of our program could be enhanced by renovations and what ways we could change the facility to promote growth of engagement with students and university," Perkins-McGuinness said. "One of the aspects that's been really incredible is the architect's ability to think creatively about how to take on this first phase in a way that every element would be included as we move forward so there's no aspect that would need to be undone to move forward."
April 12 from 3 to 5 p.m. — Closing party with refreshments, entertainment and a last look before doors close.
The firm has worked on more than 250 projects around the world, from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. to the Grand Louvre in Paris. However, its notoriety was only one of the appealing components that led the Spencer to choose this firm.
Perkins-McGuinness said the firm's plan captured the unique role the museum plays for students, faculty and visitors alike.
one, both of those missing aspects will be added to connect floors. Donovan said that with the current layout, students don't get to view the art if they're just there for class, unless they go out of their way.
"I personally have a class there every semester. I feel like the actual museum, it doesn't really make sense," she said. "You can't interact with anything; you have to leave the museum to go to the next floor or to go to your classes. Basically I walk in and never see art itself. I know they're talking about building a staircase and elevator in the actual museum space, so I think it'll enhance the museum."
"I think it'll change the way art is viewed because if you go in there now, every piece has its own spot lighting, whereas if you go somewhere like the Nelson[-Atkins Museum of Art], you get a better aspect of how art is actually put together because it's not synthetic." Donovan said.
The new floor-to-ceiling windows set to face Martin Grove and the Campanile will bring the added element of natural light to the museum. Donovan said the natural light will make the Spencer more up-to-date and compliment the art in the museum.
The changes will affect more than 15,000 square feet of space inside the museum, and the lobby and visitor orientation spaces will nearly triple in size. Additionally, teaching and learning galleries will be implemented for short-term exhibitions and interactive elements, which will allow visitors to explore Spencer's collections and learn about behind-the-scene happenings at the museum
Space will also be created for the Stephen H. Goddard Study Center for Works on Paper, a gift funded by an anonymous benefactor, which will increase research access and allow for the teaching of Spencer's more than 20,000 works on paper. Donovan said she is most looking forward to this addition as it will make works more readily available for students.
"If you go back there now, it's standing room only because most of its storage," she said. "I was told they're making that space like four times bigger, and I think that'll be better for actually seeing the art, and you'll have space to go work instead of having to reserve a spot."
Though change is coming quickly for the museum, it will offer multiple galleries leading up to the closing, as well as a closing party to kick off a change to make the museum more nationally known. "Spencer is highly regarded as one of top university art museums in the country and this project will only enhance our reputation in that regard and allow us to expand an already nationally-known University program," she said.

Tiffany Adkins, a former KU student who left the University after the start of her freshman year in 2013, said she transferred to a community college because of financial reasons and because she didn't feel connected with the University as an African-American student.

by being one of few minority students in an organization or in classes. This, in turn, may cause them to consider leaving the University.
"I felt kind of invisible because the campus is so big and it was hard to find people that look like me," Adkins said. "I didn't want to keep paying so much money to be at a place that didn't feel like home."
Adkins' concern was reflected after the Ferguson events, when minority students created the Twitter hashtag #RockChalkInvisibleHawk to describe their experience on KU's campus. Some black students have expressively complained about being the brunt of racial slurs and discrimination, according to Blane Harding, director of OMA.
Harding also said that a negative experience inside or outside the classroom can be a main factor that drives minority students away from the University. He believes there is a need for cultural awareness training for students and faculty to learn about other cultures, develop sensitivity to cultural differences and enhance cross-cultural communication skills. He also thinks the faculty needs to be more diverse.
"If we don't have diverse faculty, how can we keep diverse students when they don't see themselves in the classroom?" he said. "They go hand in hand: diverse students with diverse staff and
diverse faculty. We have to work on all three at the same time."
In July of 2014, the University hired Nathan Thomas as vice provost of Diversity and Equity to help with the recruitment, retention and development of underrepresented faculty and students.
In addition, Student Senate appointed KU graduate student jameelah Jones to the new position of Director of Diversity and Inclusion in January. Jones acts as a bridge between administration and minority students. She is in charge of creating cultural training to help with inclusion and making sure that all Jayhawk voices are heard, understood and valued at the University.
"I would tell [minority] freshmen students not to give up on the University," Jones said. "You are not alone. You are deserving of this space, and we need students like you to help make this space an equitable community for everyone."
Caleb Bobo, a junior from St. Louis and the president and founder of KU's Black Men's Union, said he founded the organization to provide a community that would provide social support for new students and upperclassmen. He said retention rates are only half of the problem and that he also worries about KU's graduation rates of black students.
"The problem becomes clearer when you see that the graduation rate for white students at KU is at about 70 percent and the graduation rate for black students is at about 46 percent," he said. "All schools struggle with this problem, even historically black colleges, but the question is 'what are we going to do to begin fixing it?'

University architecture students Savannah Greenlee, Tu Tran, Kyle Killian, Taylor Monsees and Ashton Martin are part of a team that was selected as a finalist in the 2015 Housing and Urban Development Affordable Housing Student Design and Planning Competition. The team will make its presentation on April 21 in Washington, D.C.
Architecture students advance in competition
KWANG HYUN
@ChwangWitit
A team of University architecture students were selected as one of the four finalists in the 2015 Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Affordable Housing Student Design and Planning Competition (IAH).
The team includes fifth-year architecture students Savannah Greenlee of Kansas City, Mo.; Tu Tran of Olathe; Kyle Killian of Lawrence; MBA student Taylor Monsees of Overland Park and Ashton Martin of Lawrence, a student from the Department of Urban Planning.
"Our team actually got put together because we all showed interest in working on it outside of the school over the break," Greenlee said.
The team was created the second week of January after the competition information was released in December. After submitting the project in early February, the team found out it was one of the four finalists on Feb.21.
A key part of the competition is the inclusion of a non-architecture student
in the team. Greenlee said several members of the team fit this bill: Monsees is currently studying for his MBA and Martin came from the department of Urban Planning.
"What makes this competition different [than] in the past is that it requires non-architecture students," Tran said. "It's a teamwork of interdisciplinary fields to create this competition — that's what I was looking for."
For the competition, teams from different universities create an affordable housing design based on a site provided by HUD. This year's site is a senior housing complex for 300 residents in Houma, La., which the teams visited earlier in the year. Teams can choose to either replace the existing design with a new one or rehabilitate the current structure.
The other three competing teams are from UCLA, New York University and the University of Minnesota. HUD selected these four teams for their unique ideas, said Tran.
an innovative way of financing it, so I think that's part of the main reason that four teams are chosen," Greenlee said. "We've come to the table with new ways of incorporating different financing mechanisms that would work together and help affordable housing be improved over the years."
the winning team will receive $20,000 from HUD and the runner-up team will receive $10,000. The team will make its final presentation in Washington, D.C., on April 21 in an auditorium in front of 500 people.
"One of the things that [HUD] want to focus on it is
"It's a little intimidating," Greenlee said. "It's also really exciting because the School of Architecture has been really supportive in helping us get all of our team members to the site and to D.C. and helping with funding."
Greenlee said the University has been incredibly supportive in the team's efforts.
"We usually present in front a jury of like 20 people." Tran said. "But I'm more excited than nervous."
Carbon monoxide chambers for shelter animals may end
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Edited by Callie Byrnes
Last year, the bill passed the Senate but never made it out of the House committee, this year legislators went about it another way. The amendment to ban carbon monoxide chambers was added into the Senate bill which creates an institutional license to practice veterinary medicine. Humane Society of Kansas State Director Midge Grinstead said Rep. Ponka-We Victors (D-Wichita) and Rep. Sydney Carlin (D-Manhattan) found a bill to tack this amendment onto, making it more likely to pass. Now with the amendment, the bill will head back to the Senate to be approved by its house of origin.
Grinstead said she is hopeful that it will pass this time around.
"I'm disappointed that Kansas is one of only 10 states that doesn't ban these chambers," Kate Meghji, Director of the Lawrence Humane Society, said. "I hope that we're not the last state to ban this."
Kansas is currently one of 10 states that still allows the use of carbon monoxide gas chambers for euthanasia in animal shelters. If a bill passes through the Senate on Wednesday, these chambers would be illegal in Kansas and animals could only be euthanized intravenously with a series of injections that "put them to sleep" in a matter of seconds instead of the minutes of stress and fear chambers can evoke.
"Carbon monoxide is a very archaic way to euthanize an animal; it's cruel, it's unsafe," Grinstead said. "The bill was to simply ban the use of carbon monoxide in shelters in Kansas. It will bastily stop those three shelters that still use it from using these
chambers."
Victors spoke in favor of this bill, and said via email she felt the bill was necessary because her constituents reached out to her concerned that places in Kansas still use this method of euthanasia. Grinstead said the chambers are terrible things and sees no use for them ever to have been used.
"I don't think anybody wants this type of euthanasia in our state," Grinstead said. "I think some legislators don't understand. It's horrible for the animals, and it's also horrible for the people who have to do it. With euthanasia by injection, the brain goes in seconds and the body right after."
"I didn't think I was moving to Kansas to get Kansas to ban gas chambers," Meghji said. "I was really disappointed to see some of the things we wanted to get passed this year that didn't get passed. I always thought animal welfare was a non-partisan issue."
Meghji moved from Illinois for her position at the Lawrence Humane Society, and said she was disgusted this issue had turned partisan.
Meghji has testified at the Capitol before in her capacity at the humane society, the Pet Animal Coalition of Kansas and as a member of the Society of Animal Welfare Administrators to help pass other animal welfare laws. But she said she found surprising pushback from legislators on issues as simple as requirements for animals' access to water.
"I thought surely, surely this wouldn't be an issue," she said. "But for some reason some legislators, usually out in Western Kansas, see animals differently."
Grinstead said she recalls a number of horrifying stories
depicting what happens to an animal in the chambers, and to the person who is responsible for that job. She said the animal, in this case a dog, screams and bangs its head against the wall. Sometimes the animal has to spend more than one round in the chamber before he or she is put out of their misery. Additionally, the person who is responsible for this job is left scarred, Grinstead said.
"It is so emotionally draining,"she said.
In addition to the emotional toll and ordeal the animal goes through, the chambers are unsafe and expensive to keep properly maintained, Meghji said.
"It is incredibly inhumane and it is incredibly dangerous," she said. "There is no fiscal reason to use carbon monoxide chambers. It isn't any less expensive. It's actually more expensive in some cases. It is appalling this day and age when we have access to very inexpensive drugs that allow us to euthanize animals in a painless and calm way that there are still places that use gas chambers."
Grinstead said it's time Kansas and some of its legislators caught up with the times and treated animals like companions instead of a "commodity on the shelf"
"I would love to join the ranks with the rest of the people in the 21st century and change the way we treat our animals here," she said. "It's really hard when we're the type of people we are and we love dogs, and you go up to Topeka and some people don't care and think what you're asking is ridiculous."

FFA OF THE DAY
Study tip: Stand up. Stretch. Take a walk. Go to the airport. Get on a plane. Never return.
A friend of mine at K-State had an exam the day after Spring Break ended. Reason #561 I'm glad to be at KU.
"Today is not my day" - everyday
If you're getting Budweiser at the grocery store you're not doing #College right.
To the girl in my 8 a.m. BE 301 class that kind of looks like Maisie Williams: you're gorgeous!
*secretly having a mental break-down because nothing is going right and all motivation is lost*
Cloudy days like today make me want spring break back. Then I remember that I got arrested for PI, paid 270 for bail, lost a fake ID, and have to take an 8 hour drug class. I suddenly don't miss it anymore.
To the forgotten Pokeguy, it's your old roommate from Maryland. How you been!?
I hate it when girls try to dress "professionally" by wearing clothes that are way too tight. You are popping out of that shirt everywhere, girl.
The struggle not to roll my eyes at people when they talk.
I got a blank space baby... and
I'll write your name (even though
I did the whole group project).
April is coming...do I need to get rainboots?
My sister is coming in town in
May and I just wanna jump
up and down in excitement.

When everyone's freaking out about Zayn leaving 1D and you could give less of a crap.
"Faded af' is" "faded af' back wards...the more you know.
High school was so judgy, but in college you see someone riding past on a razor scooter wearing a snuggie and it's like "that is a smart man".
My stay in the house game is too strong.
Basically I have to be successful when I graduate because I love expensive things.
Started from the bottom, now we're still at the bottom. But with a lot more student loan debt.
All i want to do is cuddle with a bottle of wine and my pup.
Scholarship halls offer better housing
Matthew Clough
@mcloughsof
With scheduling, major and minor decisions, time management and social involvement, coming to college involves a wide realm of questions. One major choice students have to make each year has to do with housing; on- or off-campus? If on-campus, in what environment?
Although the University offers a variety of housing options, students old and new should consider the scholarship hall community as their place of residence
Halls in particular — will cost $5,590 for the year. The price of a double room in the scholarship halls is $3,872.
As a student who has lived in both the residence halls and the scholarship hall community, I have firsthand experience with the benefits and drawbacks of each setting. Although the residence halls offer a "traditional" college living environment, they are not the best choice for students living on campus.
First and foremost, there's the cost. Housing prices are on the rise, making it increasingly important to save money wherever possible. According to KU Student Housing's rates for 2015-16, a standard double room on Daisy Hill — Ellsworth and Hashinger
These figures don't take into account a meal plan, which is required for students living on campus. The most inexpensive plan you can purchase as a residence hall student costs $3,094 per year, while the yearly meal charge for scholarship halls is $2,084.
Students must maintain a 2.5 GPA to continue residence in the scholarship halls, as well as prepare two short essays for admission. However, these requirements are not as much of a hassle as one may think. Students electing to live on campus already hold an average GPA of 3.02, according to Student Housing's informational booklet, so that requirement isn't much of a concern. The brief essay required gives the housing staff an idea of the applicant as an individual.
Location is another major factor. Daisy Hill is a lengthy walk from Jayhawk Boulevard, while the scholarship halls are the closest student housing option to campus. The walk to the Kansas Union is only about three minutes, and most major campus buildings take less than 10.
The close-knit community also gives the scholarship halls a significant edge over traditional dorm setting. By sharing an actual house with roughly 50 other individuals, it's inevitable
that you get to know each of them in meaningful ways, whether through hall activities or just hanging out together on a Friday night. The scholarship hall environment is naturally conducive to fostering long-term friendships, particularly because residents have to work collaboratively to complete shifts and keep the hall in order.
Scholarship halls are not co-ed, as most of the residence halls are, which may be a concern for individuals considering them. However, the scholarship hall community makes up for this in their sheer number of social events year-round. With 12 halls — six male and six female — all organizing and hosting multiple social events throughout the year, getting to know individuals from other halls is just as easy as meeting people in the residence halls.
Matthew Clough is a sophomore from Wichita studying English and journalism
The scholarship hall community is rich with tradition. With each hall having its own quirks and personality, they are a fantastic way to feel like you're truly a part of something on campus. This individuality creates a unique sense of culture that cannot be found in any other housing option, and students should consider experiencing the community for themselves.

"I live in an apartment. When I came [to the University] I ended up in an undergrad dorm, then I moved to Stouffer Place. But at Stouffer Place there wasn't any cooling system and you had to install it yourself. Then a friend talked me into moving to [an apartment]. It has almost everything."
ANDREW GUNNESON, JUNIOR, WICHITA
"I live off campus in a townhome. I like having a little bit of distance between it and campus. It's kind of like where you work and then going home — I don't really want to go back to a dorm."

CHRISTINE KIRCHNER, SOPHOMORE, OXNARD, CALIF.
"The scholarship halls are a really good environment. Everyone's really friendly and it's cheaper than the dorms, which is nice. And it's a good location — really close to campus. All my friends live in the scholarship halls."

Outdoor spaces encourage more innovation
O ever spring break,
I was sitting by
Potter Lake when I
Over spring break, I was sitting by Potter Lake when I made an observation. As I looked around at the rolling landscape of Marvin Grove, I realized that I was sitting in one of the only spots on campus dedicated to enjoying the outdoors, The University could use more outdoor congregation space for functions, classes and simply hanging out. These spaces encourage learning through a change of scenery
The University has several great outdoor areas, namely Potter Lake, equipped with green space, a dated pavilion and the occasional bench. The front lawn of Fraser Hall also offers space for frisbee players and students wanting to study outside. Besides these areas, there are not many places for students to capitalize on the great outdoors. Wescoe Beach now offers power outlets in addition to campus-wide wireless Internet. It would be outstanding if Potter Lake and the front of Fraser lawn had charging stations, seating options and outdoor artwork to enjoy.
If we added a few more options for students to enjoy
and opportunities for discovery.
the outdoors while studying imagine the possibilities. Professors could hold more classes outside in diverse spaces with charging capabilities, students could study in between classes without ever entering a building in the warmer months and the University would have a new, unique asset to set them apart from other universities.
Increased access to large and small outdoor areas increases the opportunity for the "discovery factor." I define the discovery factor as the oddities and unique qualities of a place that draw you in and make you think. Imagine walking to class or strolling through campus and finding a new spot to explore and study. More art and technology-inspired
outdoor areas would not only draw current students in, but could potentially gain the interest of prospective students looking for that discovery factor.
The discovery factor goes hand in hand with a concept called creative placemaking. Typically, creative placemaking brings private and public partners together to mold the physical landscape of a city or neighborhood. The same idea can be applied to a university campus. If this idea were implemented, visual art and engineering students could design the seating areas. With the help of these departments, the University could construct innovative outdoor spaces that promote social connectedness. Some
Imagine walking to class by a new route when you see a different and interesting place to study and hang out. Who doesn't want to go to a school that highlights the importance of both learning and discovery inside and outside of the classroom? If the University combined the collective brainpower of students in STEM, environmental studies and the arts,the result could be a more inclusive campus with a myriad of opportunities to connect with nature.

Percussionist to teach class on campus
LILY GRANT
@liilygrant_UDK
Robert van Sice is a talented professional percussionist and marimba player who will briefly join the University to teach a public master class. The class will be held at the Spencer Museum of Art in front of Sol LeWitt's "Wall Drawing 519" from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Van Sice will be on campus Saturday and Sunday to teach percussion students. On Sunday he will give a lecture on minimalism in art and percussion music.
"Minimalism is an aesthetic which I perform inside of," van Sice said.
Van Sice has played the
marimba his entire life and spends much of his time touring, recording and teaching. He has taught more than 400 master classes in 25 countries. He currently teaches at the Yale School of Music and the John Hopkins Peabody Institute. Recently, he was invited to teach at the Curtis Institute of Music.
Van Sice is a prominent figure in both the American and European percussion world. He performed the first full-length solo marimba recital at Amsterdam's Concertgebouw in 1989. He also taught at the Rotterdam Conservatorium and Darmstäder Ferienkurse.
If there's one thing van Sice wants his students to learn
from him, it's that "the truth in all of music-making is only found in the sound itself"
Van Sice said he believes great musicians are simply those who learn to have a deep contact with sound, and sound only.
Ji Hye Jung is a percussion professor at the University and one of van Sice's former students.
"It'll be really special for me and special for my students to work with him," Jung said.
Van Sice said he considers it a privilege to come teach at the University and regards Jung as one of the best students he has taught in his entire life.
"grand-students". because they are the students of his past students.
Van Sice calls Kansas percussion students his
"To be able to work with students of my students is always precious to me," van Sice said.
After the master class is complete, van Sice wants the University's percussion students to know that "purity and truth in music-making is the way to go."
The University's percussion department is collaborating with the Spencer Museum of Art for the event.
Amy Duke, the museum's public programs and visitor experience manager, is partly responsible for bringing van Sice to the University. The museum will be closing for
renovations soon, and Duke wanted to do something special before that happens.
Duke and Jung hope that van Sice will provide insight on parallels between minimalist art and minimalist music.
"I think it's something we don't do enough — making a connection between different aspects of music and art," Jung said.

Van Sice said he is excited to arrive in Lawrence and thinks it's the "quintessential perfect college town, full of smart people doing a lot of amazing and probing things, and the honor is mine."

Zayn Malik leaves One Direction after five years
Kate Miller
@ Kate Miller
"My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined," Malik's statement read. "But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. I'd like to apologise to the fans if I've let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart. I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight."
The post also included a statement from the band itself and its creator, Simon Cowell. Both expressed their sorrow at seeing Malik leave, but expressed hope for the future.
Twitter erupted yesterday and teenage hearts broke across the world as One Direction became a band of four. Zayn Malik, a founding member of the band, announced on the band's official Facebook page that he was leaving the group after five years.
In the statement, Malik apologized to his fans and said he will remain close friends with the remaining members of the band — Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Niall Horan.
"The four of us will now continue," the band's statement read. "We're looking forward to recording the new album and seeing all the fans on the next stage of the world tour."
Cowell, who first formed the band in the 2010 season
of "The X-Factor," also thanked Malik for his contributions to the band.
"I would like to say thank you to Zayn for everything he has done for One Direction," Cowell wrote. "Since I first met Zayn in 2010, I have grown very, very fond—and immensely proud."
— of him. I have seen him grow in confidence and I am truly sorry to see him leave."
truly sorry to see him miss Malik's announcement comes after he bowed out of the group's world tour earlier this month due to stress, Billboard reported. Before that announcement, Malik had come under fire from fans for a tabloid photo that showed him with a woman not his fiancée.
Malik denied any wrongdoing, tweeting on March 18, "I'm 22 years old... I
love a girl named Perrie Edwards. And there's a lot of jealous f***s in the world I'm sorry for what it looks like x."
As for his leaving the band, Twitter responded with multiple trending topics, including "#AlwaysInOurHeartsZaynMalik," "Where is Zayn," "Two Directions," and "8 Directions."
One Direction's worldwide tour continues on, despite the hole in the band. Although distraught "Directioners" were devastated by the news, Malik held out hope for his former bandmates.

Picasso valued at $140M heading to auction

NEW YORK — A radiant masterpiece by Pablo Picasso from the 1950s will lead an auction in May where it could top $140 million.
"Women of Algiers (Version O)" will be offered at Christie's on May 11.
The vibrantly colorful 1955 painting features a scantily attired female in the foreground amid a jumble of smaller female nudes. The central figure is Picasso's muse Jacqueline Roque, who became his second wife in 1961.
The oil on canvas was part of a 15-work series Picasso created between 1954 and 1955 that was inspired by "Women of Algiers in their

The hefty pre-sale estimate hovers near the current record for any artwork sold at auction, held by Francis Bacon's triptych "Three Studies of Lucian Freud." It sold at Christie's for $142.4 million in 2013.
Christie's did not reveal the seller, but said the collector acquired the painting in 1997 for $31.9 million when Christie's sold the collection of noted New York collectors Victor and Sally Ganz, who at one time owned all 15 works in the series.
Apartment" by Eugene Delacroix, an 1834 work Picasso greatly admired that hangs in the Louvre in Paris.
"One can arguably say that this is the single most important painting by Picasso to remain in private
hands," said Olivier Camu, Christie's deputy chairman of impressionist and modern art.
The work has been in several major museum retrospectives in the 1950s and 1960s. More recently it appeared in exhibitions at the National Gallery in London, the Louvre in Paris and the Tate Britain.
"Women of Algiers (Version O)" will be offered with a group of two dozen other blue chip works created between 1902 and the end of the 20th century in a stand-alone sale called "Looking Forward to the Past."
In May 2010, Christie's set an auction record for any work by Picasso when it sold his 1932 painting "Nude, Green Leave and Bust" of his mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter for $106.5 million.

Library of Congress adds 25 recordings to national registry
Curators also deemed some more recent recordings worthy of preservation, include tunes from TV's "Sesame Street." The children's show used music as an integral part of its educational program and drew stars ranging from B.B. King to R.E.M. and the Dixie Chicks. The library chose the 1995 recording "Sesame Street:
BRETT ZONGKER
WASHINGTON - One of the most broadcast songs of the 20th century, Ben E. King's "Stand by Me," has been selected for preservation at the Library of Congress, along with recordings from Joan Baez, The Righteous Brothers, Steve Martin and the darker sounds of the band Radiohead.
Associated Press
Other historic recordings chosen for preservation include radio coverage of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's funeral in 1945 and the 1953 theatrical recording of "John Brown's Body," based on a Civil War poem that proved commercially successful as a non-musical play.
Twenty-five sound recordings spanning from 1890 to 1999 were added Wednesday to the library's National Recording Registry. Each year the library chooses recordings that are "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."
MATT ROURKE/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Some of the unforgettable tunes being archived include "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive" from Johnny Mercer in 1944, Baez's first solo album, The Righteous Brothers "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" and Steve Martin's "A Wild and Crazy Guy" comedy album, which broke new ground in the 1970s as Martin broke out of formulaic jokes and punchlines for less predictable humor.
Upon hearing of his archive-worthy achievement, Martin deadpanned: "I could not be more proud of this honor. This means the record was probably funny."
Lauryn Hill performs in Philadelphia on July 4, 2012. Her album "The Misededucation of Lauryn Hill" was one of 25 sound recordings added Wednesday to the Library of Congress National Recording Registry.
"Pop music is not entirely positive in its outlook, shall we say."
The oldest recordings being saved are in the form of 600 wax cylinder recordings at the University of California, Santa Barbara, that were recorded by consumers in the 1890s, 1900s and 1910s as snapshots of everyday life. These are among the most endangered audio formats because their grooves are fragile and the wax decomposes over time. Another set of wax-cylinder recordings from the 1893 Chicago World's Fair captured sounds of musicians from around the world performing at the fair, giving Americans their first exposure to "world music."

The Library of Congress has been seeking to preserve important sound recordings for 15 years under terms of a preservation act passed by Congress.
In the 1960s, King originally intended his song "Stand by Me" for his former group, the Drifters, but he ended up recording it himself. The song is anchored by one of the best-known bass lines in history, curators said. A few years later, The Righteous Brothers were recording "Lovin' Feelin." They thought the song was wrong for them at first but ended up with a hit.

ANNA WENNER/KANSAN
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little discussed her excitement for the upcoming Commencement ceremony in May on Wednesday afternoon. She also said tuition increases would occur because of recent budget cuts.
TALK FROM PAGE 1A
concerned there will be more reductions for higher education"
Additionally, she said the Senate Ways and Means Subcommittee on Education recommended cuts for next year regardless of the extension of the allotments. Usually, a block grant is given to the Board of Regents and is passed on by a formula to the universities, but this reduction bypassed the Regents and took aim at the University of Kansas.
"There is no reason for cutting us in comparison to the other universities," she said. "The rationale is not clear. That's a dangerous precedent. There's not any performance issue that can justify this."
The $4.7 million that was to be transferred from the Lawrence Campus to the University Medical Center, particularly in Wichita, is now being completely eliminated altogether. Gray-Little said she sees no reason for this, either.
"For me to say why it is, I'd have to have some logical or justifiable reason, and I do not" she said.
One of the more recent rejections in Topeka came when the University requested $5 million in funds for the Drug and Vaccine Discovery Institute at the University. Gray-Little said while the University has a process of evaluating which programs are essential to the programs we currently have in place, concerns are whether more cuts or denials will come.
"To me to have this institute to develop vaccines for humans and animals is very reasonable," she said. "In some ways, the cuts and the decisions have already been made and there have been effort to take those cuts to not interfere with ongoing programs, that's how they've been taken, whether there will be further cuts this year, I don't know."
TUITION HIKES
As budgets are cut, concerns over tuition hikes arise. Gray-Little said every year there are tuition conversations, and this year is no exception.
"The reduction will affect the university in one of two ways." Gray-Little said. "Either you lose funding for opportunities that are here now or you have to pay more money to keep them, and that's one of the very unfortunate things about the loss of funding for higher education in the last few years."
Increases in tuition could mean less student enrollment thus less tuition for the University. This cycle is something Gray-Little said she and faculty are mindful of.
CAMPUS DIVERSITY CHALLENGES
Given the University of Oklahoma incident of racism in its Sigma Alpha Epilion chapter
and previous incidents at the University of Kansas, including the controversy at Rock Chalk Revue over a character's stereotypical portrayal, Gray-Little said diversity and the way people relate to one another is of immense importance.
"It is a time on university campuses where the question of diversity and the way men and women relate to one another are really very important," she said. "Topics are being discussed in a vivid way I haven't seen in a number of years, and I think partly because we kind of assume some things are settled until varied incidents occur and we find they're not settled and we still have work to do."
"It's being discussed,but there are groups looking at how we can be a better community for each other," Gray-Little said.
University groups are working to better the University's diversity programs, and are looking at how students and
faculty to all better relate to one another.
Greek life at the University and its inclusion of more diversity is something Gray-Little said is a concern of hers, given its influence on campus.
"Often the students in sororities and fraternities come from very established families and have been here awhile," she said. "I think it's very important to look at how they're encompassing diversity. When things go south, it can be really destructive for the University as well."
Gray-Little said she expects leadership is having conversations with their chapters to ensure respectable behavior within their members.
"I believe that many of our
fraternities are having this conversation and trying to patrol the behavior of their members in a way that is responsible," she said. "I think with some of the things that have happened here and other places, they recognize they're under scrutiny."
WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO
Gray-Little said it may seem as though the tone is negative, but she insisted there are a multitude of events and projects she's looking forward to. From Commencement to performances to the success of the softball team, she said the rest of the spring semester will be an exciting time.
"I look forward to Commencement," she said. "It's not just because it's the end. It is a very fine experience over the weekend with students, and their families are very happy. April is kind of the culmination of the teaching and research activity. October and April are the biggest events of the year."
"I like being able to participate in and be part of achievements whether it's faculty or staff. It's beneficial to [Limbocker], but it's also beneficial to the University because what he does well, it reflects well on us," she said. "I sometimes think for our alum that one of the greatest things that can do is do well, and we can congratulate them and reflect in their glory. The better you do, the better it is for the University."
She said she relishes being able to participate in student and alumni achievements. Ryan Limbocker, a senior from Overland Park, recently was awarded the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship for his research on the neurodegeneration progress and featured in the Chancellor's Report for his variety of accolades and achievements. He is just one of many students Gray-Little said make the University as highly-regarded as it is.
FACULTY, STUDENTS AND
CLASSES
Between the growth in freshman class sizes over the last three years, the 12 new foundation professors set to be hired and the changes in courses, the future for the University looks bright and future growth should continue to be strong. Three of the 12 professors began teaching at the University this year, and five were hired for next year.
"We have, as we do every year, faculty that are receiving awards for their research. We should stop and celebrate those things too," she said. "We received funding about three to four years ago to hire 12 distinguished professors, to bring in 12 faculty members who in their fields have very high reputations and high regard."
The recruitment process has also changed over the last few years because Gray-Little said she received feedback that the University was lacking in the areas of responsiveness and personalization.
frankly, a lot of people told us we did a bad job," Gray-Little said. "People used to tell me how much better X was than KU, and I thought 'How can that be?' We were not very active and we waited for students to come, and we needed to go out and make them know we really wanted them. We weren't showing enough love."
Additionally, Gray-Little emphasized the implementation of learning teams in the classroom instead of traditional lectures.
"It's primarily to have the students be active participants in learning," she said. "I don't think lectures are so bad, I think a good lecture can be really good. But, the concern with lectures is students learn and then forget it because they're not interacting with the information."

COMMENTARY
Despite the loss Kansas' future bright as ever
For one of college basketball's bluebloods, two straight years of
Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU
two-straight years of losing in the NCAA Tournament's Round of 32 is certainly a tough pill to swallow. However, for Kansas, the promise of a bright future combined with past successes leaves reasons for hope.
Start with the returning players. Next year, Kansas will return a loaded backcourt, featuring Frank Mason III and Devonte' Graham. While in previous years point guard has been the biggest question mark for the Jayhawks, that certainly isn't the case now.
Wayne Selden Jr. should also leave his impact on the team next year, despite his NCAA Tournament shortcomings. As a junior, he'll look to take on a greater leadership position.
Meanwhile, for the big men a couple months off may just be best for everyone. They ended the year either banged up or off the court entirely due to NCAA reasons, but at full strength, Kansas' frontline should again impose a significant threat, especially with Top 25 recruit Carlton Bragg joining the squad.
With strong upcoming talent at positions 1-2 and 4-5, the focus shifts to Kansas small forward Kelly Oubre Jr., who is projected to go pretty high in the upcoming NBA draft. At the moment, ESPN's Chad Ford has Oubre ranked as the No. 11 prospect, but there's no guarantee that Oubre is going to leave.
Should Oubre return, the Jayhawks would likely be the favorites to win a Big 12 regular season title for the 12th consecutive year. However, if he does decide to move on, Kansas is not at all without a backup plan.
The Jayhawks are among the finalists for two top four recruits in Jaylen Brown and Malik Newman, both of whom play on the wing. While Newman is a little smaller than a prototypical small forward, at just 6-foot-3, Kansas can always opt to play small if need be.
Currently, Kansas remains the third or fourth most likely destination for each player, but should Oubre declare for the draft, one would have to expect those numbers to change. After all, Kansas does have a bit of recent history on its side in bringing top ranked wings to Lawrence.
Even before Oubre and Selden, Kansas has nabbed several top shooting guard and small forward recruits. Dating back to 2009, the program has managed to sign prospects in Andrew Wiggins, Xavier Henry and Josh Selby, all of which were listed as top-5 recruits in the ESPN100.
If the Jayhawks lose Oubre and end up with a top wing, the program will thrive, and if instead of a wing, they add a top big man in Stephen Zimmerman or Thon Maker, it may even make them better.

The Jayhawks (9-15) will travel to Lubbock, Texas this weekend to face off with the Texas Tech Red Raiders (16-9) to open Big 12 Conference play.
Texas Tech dropped out of the Top 25 last week and are currently fourth in the preseason Big 12 coaches poll, so they will present a big challenge for Kansas.
The Jayhawks lost the last game before conference play to Missouri State (14-7) in Springfield, Mo., 15-9 on Tuesday night. The bats were not the problem for the Jayhawks, as they managed 12 hits. Pitching was a different story — the Jayhawks surrendered 16 hits.
The Jayhawks still had plenty of chances to win the game, but failed to follow through with many of them. They left 14 runners on base, which is an issue they will need to clean up in order to perform better in the Big 12, where they were seventh in the preseason Coaches Poll.

The Jayhawks are set to square off with North Texas in Denton, Texas on Friday, where they will face an unranked Mean Green team that has lost five of its last seven matches.
While North Texas has just a 4-10 record, Kansas will need to be careful as the Mean Green defeated No. 74 Louisville just over a month ago and narrowly lost to No. 58 San Diego State 4-3 earlier this month.
Kansas will have to deal with North Texas' best singles player, senior Kseniya Bardabush, who is 4-7 in the top singles spot and holds a 5-7 record in the top doubles pairing when paired with fellow senior Franziska Sprinkmeyer.
North Texas will face UAB at home Wednesday before playing Kansas, but currently holds just a 4-9 record out of conference and a 1-2 record at home. Kansas is 0-5 on the road.
Next, Kansas will face No. 62 SMU Saturday in Dallas. The Mustangs boast an 11-4 record on the season and a dominant 10-2 home record, though they lost their last home matchup to No. 51 Tulane 4-0.

Kansas Pro Day Notebook: wide receivers impress
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
"Prove it" is a phrase that some of the Jayhawk football players who have declared for the NFL draft have heard so many times. And while Kansas pro day won't be the last time, it will be until late April when the NFL draft rolls around.
Wednesday served as the final time many Jayhawks will display their talents in front of a wide array of scouts. Over 30 scouts from 25 teams were present at the Jayhawks' pro day, and many of them talked with potential draft picks who sported the Jayhawk blue and crimson this past season.
There were plenty of notes from almost every player after going through drills, but here's a rundown of some of the most notable.
LINEBACKER BEN HEENEY
Heeney didn't go through a whole lot of drills on Wednesday simply because he didn't feel like he needed to. He matched his NFL Combine number of 19 bench press reps (at 225 lbs.), and participated in position drills, which were run by the Cowboys, a linebacker-needy team.
"That was disappointing. I thought I was going to get to 21 or 22 at least," Heeney said of his bench reps. "I'll stand by my combine numbers. I think they were good enough."
Despite not participating in pro day, Heeney is still making waves among NFL scouts after his huge combine. After meeting with several teams at the combine, the Eagles contacted him and chatted for about 30 minutes, expressing interest. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots are scheduled to visit Lawrence to privately workout Heeney, as well as cornerback JaCorey Shepherd before the end of the month.
As for the hometown Kansas City Chiefs — also the home of Heeney's draft part — it's a bit of a less expressed interest—but the interest is there, Heeney says.
NICK HARWELL Senior wide receiver
"I tested better than I expected. I tested better than scouts would expect."
"I just talked to one of the coaches up here today and he just told me that they've seen everything they need to see about me," Heeney said. "My game tape speaks for itself... they don't have any concerns with me."
Heeney will take a few days off to rest his body before staying in Lawrence to train with Andrea Hudy, the Jayhawks' sports performance coach, up until the NFL Draft.
SAFETY CASSIUS SENDISH
Sendish made a big step to improve his stock at Kansas' pro day. Though he tabbed a team-low eight bench reps, his vertical came in at a solid 37 inches, and his 40-time was much higher than most scouts expectations.
The safety was expected between a 4.6 and a mid-4.5-second 40-yard dash. Instead, scouts clocked him between 4.44 and 4.48, although Kansas officially had him a 4.5.
There are about four teams who could draft Sendish, according to a scout, but that could change come draft day. But whether he's drafted in the late rounds or signed as
a preferred undrafted free agent, one scout predicted that he'll be on a 53-man roster.
WIDE RECEIVER NIGEL KING
WIDE RECEIVER NIGEL KING Most notably for the early-declared King is his height and bench reps, measuring in at 6-foot-2.2 and tabbed 15 reps on the bench, which is ideal for an outside receiver in today's NFL. Fifteen reps would have placed him at 14 among 30 wide receivers at the NFL Combine.
A Browns scout talked to King for about five minutes in between individual and position drills and seemed to express interest. However, his route running wasn't sharp in position drills and he dropped two passes, though one was a questionable throw from former quarterback Jake Heaps, who made an appearance at the pro day.
TIGHT END/H-BACK JIMMY
MUNDINE
Mundine tabbed 20 bench reps, which would have tied him for fifth among tight ends at the NFL Combine, but his 4.60 40-yard dash time is what impressed most. Turning in that time was huge for Mundine, as it would have been the second fastest at the NFL combine.
Mundine dropped one pass, but looked very sharp and comfortable in his routes. He was in discussions with the Lions during Wednesday's pro day and the Eagles. It would be shocking if a versatile, quick team like the Eagles didn't take a chance on Mundine after the draft.
WIDE RECEIVER HORN HANDLE
Harwell's biggest question mark according to one scout, was his speed coming in, and Harwell echoed the same sentiment. At 5'11", it's something he's going to have to rely on if he's going to land on an NFL team, and on Wednesday, he proved it's not an issue.

"I tested better than I expected. I tested better than scouts would expect," Harwell said. "Everybody said I was slow coming in, then I ran out and ran a 4.40."
According to Harwell, he didn't talk to many teams on Wednesday because he did most of that at the NFLPA Bowl, in which he participated in January. Harwell dropped one, and had another overthrown by Heaps in individual drills. Although he has talked to teams, he's not sure what to expect come draft time.
"I'm just gonna wait and see," Harwell said. "I'm very excited. I can't wait for it to happen."
King
Mundine
LINEBACKER VICTOR SIMMONS
He played as a stand-up linebacker in the Jayhawks' 3-4 last season, and it's likely the role he'll have to play if he lands in the NFL. Without a doubt, he improved his stock on Wednesday. It's highly unlikely he doesn't at least get a chance on an NFL squad, and push for the 53-man roster.
LINEBACKER VICTOR SIMMONS
Simmons is a little under-side at 6'0.2", 218 lbs., but his athleticism makes up for it.
He came up with a 41-inch vertical, which would have been the highest among linebackers at the NFL combine.
He had an 11' 0" broad jump,
and a 4.56 40-yard dash,
which would have scored second and tied for third, respectively, at the combine.
Reynolds
CORNERBACK JACOREY
SHEPHERD
Shepherd was the lone Jay-
hawk who may have hurt himself on Wednesday, but it doesn't mean he won't get drafted. Shepherd ran a 4.62, according to a Seahawks scout, with a hamstring that is still a bit gimpy. That wasn't what anyone was expecting, and Shepherd probably wouldn't have run it at all if he wasn't coerced into it.
Nevertheless, Shepherd was courted by a hoist of scouts. He was seen talking to the Chiefs, Arizona Cardinals and Green Bay Packers on Wednesday, so there are multiple teams interested in Shepherd. He will likely end up being strictly a slot cornerback after he measured in at 5'10.5" on Wednesday, though.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. How many terms has current president Sepp Blatter served for FIFA?
A: Four, and he's running for a fifth
— FIFA.com
THE MORNING BREW Corruption plagues FIFA World Cup in 2022
There's no question that soccer is becoming more popular by the day in America, and
there's proof right down 1-70 with Sporting Kansas City establishing one of MLS' best fan bases in a matter of years.
Soccer's international governing body, FIFA, and its president, Sepp Blatter, are unfortunately becoming more and more corrupt by the minute
On March 19, FIFA announced the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be the first in its history to be played in the winter months, with the final being held on December 18.
FIFA is holding the World Cup five months earlier than scheduled due to Qatar's extreme heat in the summer, which, according to accuweather.com, averages a high of 120 degrees during June and July.
Matthew Corte
@Corte_UDK
Player exhaustion from high temperatures was already copious during
Brazil's 2014 World Cup, so why did FIFA stick with giving Qatar the opportunity to host in 2022?
Blatter reasoned in 2010 that "the Arabic World deserves a World Cup after never hosting one before. But many people believe money played the biggest part in Qatar being chosen.
FIFA will profit hundreds of millions of dollars from TV revenue alone, as it
did from 2014's World Cup.
However, the illegal money Mohammed bin Hammam supposedly used to coax FIFA officials to vote for Qatar in 2010's bidding process is a separate matter.
Rhamam, who was one of 24 members on FIFA's board to vote for the 2022 bid, had been accused by newspapers, such as The Sunday Times in Britain, of illegally paying FIFA officials across the world in hopes of securing their support for Qatar.
FIFA hired U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia to do an internal investigation of any wrongdoing in the bidding process, but when FIFA released its official report, Garcia's findings were nowhere to be found.
Instead FIFA Ethics Judge Hans-Joachim Eckert used a 42-page document to absolve the organization of any corruption. The document was heavily scrutinized.
What Garcia found will never be published by FIFA, and it's obvious Blatter wanted it that way.
Soccer fans will have to simply put up with Blatter, but thankfully change could happen soon.
FIFA Vice President Jim Boyce previously said he would be in favor of doing a re-vote for the 2022 World Cup. However, the time for that has already passed.
Former Portugal soccer player Luis Figo is running for FIFA president in 2015 against Blatter, and if he wins, the hope of a corruption-free program can once again be reinstated in millions, if not billions of fans.

Re-energized Brey leads Notre Dame against Shockers
Will Graves @AP
CLEVELAND — The blessing of being the son of an Olympic athlete meant Mike Brey grew up in a house where excellence wasn't requested from his mother, but required.
It brought its own sense of pressure, one that Brey says fueled his rise from gym rat to Notre Dame head coach.
“To be around that intensity every day, maybe it wasn't the healthiest,” Brey said with a laugh. “I'll probably need therapy later in life because of it, but I tell you one thing: she made me think about competing every day.”
That drive is what kept him from telling his players about her death last Saturday at age 84 until after the Irish had held off Butler in overtime to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16. No need to
burden his players with his grief. Betty Brey didn't do self-pty anyway. Not her style.
"She always made me feel like I could be special because she was," Brey said. "It gave me a lot of confidence."
Something Brey has passed on to his overachieving team. The third-seeded Irish (31-5) will try to reach the Elite Eight for the first time since 1979 when they face seventh-seeded Wichita State (30-4) in the Midwest Regional semifinal. It's a dizzying precipice for a program that lost 17 games a year ago, one that has roared back much like its resilient coach.
Brey didn't share the news of his mother's passing until after the 67-64 win against the Bulldogs. Sunday morning, he told the Irish about his mother's remarkable life, from her spot on the 1956 U.S. Olympic swimming team to her role as the swim coach at George Washington University and her
spot in the Indiana swimming Hall of Fame. Then it was a short trip to Florida, where he smoked a cigar with his father and celebrated his mother's memory.
By Monday, Brey was back on campus in the safe cocoon basketball has always provided from the time he first slipped off to camp with his brother at age 9.
"I think coaches are the greatest compartmentalizers in the history of the world and have to be to survive this thing," Brey said. "There is such a good vibe and positive energy coming off this team, it's really good for me to be around it this week and get back and be busy and teach."
There are plenty of lessons to impart. The biggest might be to not get lost in the moment. This is rarified air for a program that's spent decades in the shadow of the football team. That's not the way it is at Wichita
State. Listening to coach Gregg Marshall rattle off the teams the Shockers have faced in the tournament over the last three years is akin to listening to a financial adviser rattle off blue

chip stocks in their portfolio.
Ohio State. Louisville.
Kentucky, Indiana. Kansas.
That last one, by the way, may have been the most important.
Spoiling for a fight against their unwilling in-state rivals for more than 20 years. Wichita State blew Kansas off the floor in the round of 32. The celebration could have gotten out of
Calling them the Shockers these days is a bit of a misname. Nothing Wichita State does anymore is surprising, including getting caught up in its own hype. Defeating the Jayhawks was great and all, but it's only one stop on a journey the Shockers believe is far from complete.
"You realize cloud nine can be replaced by cloud 10 if you win these two games this week," junior guard Ron Baker said.
control. Three or four years ago, it might have. Not anymore.
Wichita State can get halfway there on Thursday night. Standing in its way will be another marquee name, one guided by a man still processing a great loss by relying on the toughness his mother instilled in him long ago.
"Coach is a leader," senior guard Jerian Grant said. "We hurt for him. We want to play for him."
STYLE POINTS:
The Stockers have one of college basketball's most suffocating defenses, but they insist they can get up and down the floor too. Notre Dame has built a reputation on its free-flowing offense but has gotten every stop it needed down the stretch during a seven-game winning streak that includes the ACC Tournament title.
"We can run and we will run," Wichita State guard Tekele Cotton said. "We can switch it up. That's one of the reasons we're successful."
UNDERDOGS NO MORE:
Despite being the lower seed, the Shockers are a favorite. Just consider it another motivating tool at Brey's disposal the Irish try to spoil a potential rematch between the Shockers and the Wildcats, who met in a thrilling round of 32 game last spring in which Kentucky ended Wichita State's perfect season.

No.22 Jayhawks begin Big 12 play against Texas
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
After successfully completing a tough nonconference schedule, the No. 22 Jayhawk softball team begin conference play against the Texas Longhorns at 5 p.m. Friday in Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park.
Kansas is coming off a sweep of the Rock Chalk Challenge last weekend, where they defeated Eastern Michigan, UMKC and Georgia State to bring its overall record to 29-2. The Jayhawks were slated to face off against the Drake Bulldogs on Tuesday, but the game was canceled due to weather.
On Tuesday, Kansas senior Maddie Stein was named the Big 12 Player of the Week after recording five hits, four runs scored, three walks and five RBIs in the five games played last week. Stein also recorded her 141st RBI in a Sunday win over Georgia State, setting a new all-time program record.
Kansas coach Megan Smith
also reached a milestone after Sunday's win over Georgia State. Smith recorded her 300th career win and is one win away from leading the Jayhawks to five consecutive 30-win seasons.
In a report published by the NCAA on Wednesday, the Jayhawks have the highest RPI among Big 12 schools, recording the No. 8 RPI in the nation.
The Texas Longhorns, who have received votes in the two major top-25 polls, come into Lawrence with an impressive 20-9 record. The Longhorns have some impressive wins on their resume, having defeated no-No. 21 ranked Arizona State in the Kajikawa Classic on Feb. 8. They also defeated no-No. 7 ranked Georgia on Feb. 19.
The Longhorns are statistically led by sophomore outfielder Stephanie Wong, who leads the team with a .349 batting average and has recorded 29 hits and 11 RBIs and has scored 15 runs. Junior outfielder Lindsey Stephens
ranks second on the team with a .330 batting average while leading the Longhorns with 30 hits and 24 runs scored. Stephens has also recorded 25 RBIs this season.
Senior pitcher Gabby Smith leads Texas' pitching staff. Smith touts a 1.53 ERA and has struck out 47 batters while allowing 36 hits and 13 runs in 45 innings pitched. Smith has a 6-1 record this season. Freshman pitcher Erica Wright ranks second on the Longhorns' pitching staff with a 2.15 ERA and has struck out 82 batters while allowing 60 hits and 40 runs scored in 84.2 innings pitched.
This will be the first time that fans at home will be able to watch the Jayhawks on television, as the game will be televised on the Jayhawk Network and ESPN3. The cancelled game against Drake was slated to be the first televised game for the Jayhawks.

"Everything's been unusual," Timonen said before the game. "I'm trying to find my game. It's been a process the last three weeks. We have a really good team. Even if I play 10, 12 minutes a game, we win games. I have to remind myself the reason why I'm here. It can't to play 20 minutes, it's to help this team as much as possible. The playoffs and the Stanley Cup is the biggest thing."
The four-time All-Star waved to the crowd and players on both sides tapped the ice with their sticks during a video tribute in the first period.
The Flyers beat the Blackhawks at home for the 11th straight time during the regular season, dating to Nov. 9, 1996.

Minutes after Simmonds scored, the Flyers aired the tribute to Timonen.

"It was kind of tear-jerking." Simmonds said. "Kimmo is an awesome player and he's even a better person so that made it even better."

Who has the best chance at beating Kentucky in the Midwest region?
Dylan Sherwood
@dmantheman2011
WICHITA STATE
As much as Shocker fans want to see Wichita State
Wichita State shock the world again, they may only have to wait until this weekend for their next potential victory in Midwest Regional tournament in Cleveland, Ohio. Wichita State has already proved itself against quality teams in the NCAA Tournament, winning against Indiana and Kansas last weekend in Omaha, Neb.
Remembering back to last year when Connecticut was a No. 7 seed and made it all the way to the national championship game, and ended up beating Kentucky by six. That was the last time Kentucky lost a game.
Wichita State, a No.7 seed this year, is looking for
another Cinderella run just like in 201 $ \frac{3} {4} $ when they made it to the Final Four, but then lost the national champion Louisville.
Last season, the Shockers were the No.1 seed in the Midwest regional and were defeated by Kentucky 78-75. That wasn't too long ago, and it proves Wichita State can play at this level. It also shows the Shockers want revenge.
The Shockers are led by redshirt junior guard Ron Baker, who averages 15 points per game, and junior guard Fred VanVleet, who averages 13 points per game. VanVleet went for 27 points, which tied a career-high on Friday against Indiana. VanVleet scored 17 points against the Jayhawks on Sunday. Also, let's not forget about senior forward Darius Carter, who averages 11 points per game, or that Kentucky has most of the same players from last year as well.
With Wichita State having NCAA Tournament experience and the Final Four run in 2013, this could be the second consecutive season where a No.7 seed could make it to the Final Four.
The Shockers have Baker,
"WICHITA STATE HAS ALREADY PROVED ITSELF AGAINST QUALITY TEAMS IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT..."
VanVleet and senior forward Tekele Cotton who have all reached the 1,000-point mark in their careers at Wichita State. These players also have experience playing Kentucky, which gives Wichita State another edge.
Wichita State may be an underdog in the upcoming tournament, but the could very well have another shot at Kentucky this year. And looking at how its season has been this year, if the Pursuit of Perfection ends by the hands of Wichita State, they'll shock the world again.

NOTRE DAME
Although I don't think any of the three remaining
teams left in the Midwest regional bracket of the NCAA Tournament have a strong opportunity beating Kentucky, Notre Dame seems to have the best shot. Notre Dame has one of the best offenses in the country, but it's going to take a lot of offensive firepower to beat John Calipari's squad.
Kentucky can't be defeated in a defensive battle, as it's arguably the best defensive team in the country. Its interior defense isn't to be reckoned with. Sophomore forward Willie Cauley- Stein and freshman forward Karl-Anthony Towns hold down the paint and have put Kentucky at second in the
nation in blocks per game. Kentucky is also third in the country in points allowed per game, so in order to beat the Wildcats, you are going to have to beat them in an offensive battle.
Even after their big win
Notre Dame is twelfth in the league in points per game and second in the league in field goal percentage, shooting 51 percent per game. The Irish and their top-ranked offense is led by senior star Jerian Grant in the backcourt. Grant averages 16.8 points per game and nearly seven assists. Kentucky's defense has proven too much for its opponents so far, but Notre Dame's offense could give them a shot at winning the game if Kentucky struggles on the offensive end. The Irish shoot a remarkable 38.9 percent from behind the arc and this would be a great weapon to give the Wildcats trouble, especially late in the game. The three pointers are the most important factor in upsetting a team in the tournament and Notre Dame does it as well as any team in the nation.
against the Jayhawks 78-65, the Wichita State Shockers would be heavily outmatched against the Wildcats because of their size and length.
The tallest player that makes the Wichita State rotation is 6-foot-7, 6-foot-11 Karl-Anthony Towns would have a huge game, and the Wildcats would almost certainly exploit this weakness. Towns and Cauley-Stein would hold down the paint and be too much for the Shockers in a potential match-up.
Kentucky plays West Virginia next, and the Mountainees are a poor defensive team in the half court. If their press isn't effective on the Harrison twins, West Virginia won't have much of a chance. The Mountainers rank 282nd in the nation in field goal percentage, which would give Kentucky a huge advantage on the defensive end.
Even though I don't think Kentucky will go down, Notre Dame would have the best chance at taking down the undefeated Wildcats.

DeAndre Jordan goes 7 for 7, Clippers beat Knicks 111-80
Associated Press
BRIAN MAHONEY
NEW YORK — DeAndre Jordan raised the NBAs best shooting percentage above 71 percent by making all seven shots and scoring 14 points, and the Los Angeles Clippers pounded the New York Knicks 111-80 on Wednesday night.
Shooting all night from either right at or above the rim — and once right on top of Jason Smith — Jordan hiked his
season average to .713, which would be second only to Wilt Chamberlain's .727 in 1972-73.
Chris Paul added 11 points and 16 assists for the Clippers, who won their fifth straight and improved the fourth-best record in the Western Conference to 47-25. Austin Rivers scored 21 points in 19 minutes off the bench.
The only negative for Jordan was grabbing 10 rebounds to end his streak of games with at least 14 rebounds at 19.

Wiggins scores 27 in Laker victory over Wolves
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JIM MONE/ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — Jordan Clarkson hit two free throws with 0.3 seconds left in overtime to send the Los Angeles Lakers over the Minnesota Timberwolves, 101-99 on Wednesday night.
Clarkson scored eight points in overtime and finished with 20. Jeremy Lin added 19 points for the Lakers, who snapped a five-game road losing streak and won for the second time in three games.
Minnesota Timberwolves' Andrew Wiggins drives as Los Angeles Lakers' Wesley Johnson defends during the first quarter of the game on Wednesday in Minneapolis. The Lakers narrowly beat the Timberwolves 101-99.
Lin — who scored a seasonhigh 29 points Sunday and followed with 19 last night at Oklahoma City — keyed a second-half run as Los Angeles led by as many as 13 points.
WOLVES
Kevin Garnett, Ricky Rubio, Nikola Pekovic, Robbie Hummel, Anthony Bennett, Shabazz Muhammad and Gary Neal were out of uniform because of injuries.
Los Angeles is trying to finish the season strong without the injured Kobe Bryant and without Steve Nash, who recently announced his retirement. Even without Carlos Boozer and Jordan Hill, the Lakers outrebounded Minnesota 48-40.
Chase Budinger scored 22 and sent the game into overtime with a 3-pointer with 6.6 seconds left in regulation as the Timberwolves erased a 13-point, second-half deficit.
... C Justin Hamilton returned after missing four games because of headaches. ... Budinger was two points off his season-high and has now scored in double-figures in seven straight games.
Kelly drew his second straight start as Hill and Boozer were held out. Boozer told the Los Angeles Daily News that he and Hill were informed by Scott before the road trip that the two would sit for the "next four or five games."
The Timberwolves went to overtime for the second straight game, but the young team couldn't pull off the same ending they did in beating Utah in overtime on Monday night.
Andrew Wiggins had 27 points for Minnesota.
Wiggins put Minnesota ahead 97-95 with a turnaround jump shot and free throw on a foul by former Timberwolves draft pick Wayne Ellington, who was 3-of-19 shooting in the game. But Clarkson connected on all six of his free throws in overtime and added a driving layup with 34.5 seconds left to put the Lakers ahead 99-97.

Garnett (sore left knee) and Rubio (sore right ankle) will play again this season. Rubio has missed the past three games, while Garnett has been out the last seven. Garnett has played in five of the Timberwolves' 18 games
since being acquired in a trade-deadline move from Brooklyn.
"They have some soreness when they either run or they walk," Saunders said of Rubio and Garnett. "Their gait's not where they need to be and until their gait's where they need to be, they won't play."
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
Garnett and Bryant didn't play Wednesday but Saunders intimated the two were almost teammates. Garnett started the trend of high school players jumping to the NBA when he was the fifth overall pick by Minnesota in 1995. A year later, Bryant was the star prep player heading to the NBA.
Saunders, the Timberwolves coach at the time, said the team had discussed selecting Bryant, too.
"We were in a situation probably having had taken a high school player, we teetered on the idea of taking another one because we had success with KG." Saunders said. "But we just kind of balked thinking it might be too much having two of those guys young at that time because we were still in the process of developing KG as a young player."
Minnesota ended up picking Ray Allen with the fifth pick and trading him to Milwaukee for Stephon Marbury, who went one pick earlier. Bryant lasted until the 13th pick where he was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets and later traded to the Lakers.

Jayhawks look to beat Drake after invite victory
GRIFFIN HUGHES
@GriffinHughes
nament of 2015, the rowing team grabbed a couple of victories in the varsity four boat races. Sophomore Mallory Miller and senior Sarah Lasini were the coxswains in the two winning boats, which each finished in less than seven minutes and crossed the finish line at least three seconds ahead of their competition. One-third of Kansas' boats finished in the top three during the competition.
Kansas rides the momentum of a very strong first spring regatta into their next matchup:
a scrimmage against the Drake Bulldogs. Drake is coming off a sweep at the hands of Alabama last week on the high waters of the Black Warrior River. Drake had four boats in the event and failed to win any of the events they raced in. Alabama bested them by more than 20 seconds in every race.
The Drake varsity four boat also struggled tremendously, taking nearly 10 minutes to finish a race in which the fastest team crossed the finish line in eight minutes, 17 seconds. Kansas four boats took no more than seven minutes, five seconds to finish their races in Louisville.
The dual with Drake is just
a scrimmage; however, it is crucial development time for a Kansas team that will dive headfirst into the toughest part of its schedule after this weekend. After squaring off with Drake, Kansas moves on to face Southern Methodist University in Dallas on April 4 and then the Knecht Cup on April 11.
"I think [the Louisville Invite] gave everyone some confidence," said coach Rob Catloth, who is the only coach in the history of Kansas rowing. "[It] sets the tone for the rest of the semester on how we can race."

Nationals ace Scherzer looks ready for opener, fans 9 Cards
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Ty Kelly (68) drives in a run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning of an exhibition spring training baseball game against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday in Jupiter, Fla.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
@AP
JUPITER, Fla. — Max Scherzer looked amply ready to start on opening day for Washington, striking out nine in six shutout innings during the Nationals' 1-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday.
Nationals manager Matt Williams recently announced that the newly acquired Scherzer would make his first career start in an opener. Washington begins at home against the New York Mets on April 6.
Making his fifth start of the spring, the former AL Cy Young Award winner allowed only three hits. He didn't walk anyone and threw 59 of 82 pitches for strikes.
"That was a result of me executing pitches today," Scherzer said. "I felt like I did a good job of generating swings and misses with all my pitches, but more importantly I didn't walk anybody. I was pounding the zone."
Scherzer also hit Matt Carpenter with a pitch. The Cardinals said he had a bruise on his right quadriceps.
"I think I only fell behind two hitters, too, so that's a more telling number than anything," he said.
"He wasn't happy about it, but it was one of those things that it hit him kind of square on the quad and that can potentially lead to something else, so why mess with it?" manager Mike Matheny said.
Matheny also removed Kolten Wong as a precaution after the second baselaw was hit by a pitch leading off the eighth.
Cardinals starter Michael Wacha also enjoyed a strong outing, giving up four hits in 5 2-3 innings and striking out four.
Nationals: Stephen Strasburg threw a bullpen on Tuesday and is ready to appear in a Grapefruit League game, manager Matt Williams said. Strasburg rolled an ankle in the weight room, causing him to miss what would have been his third scheduled spring start.
Wacha retired 13 of 14 batters at one stretch, a string only interrupted by his first walk this spring.
STARTING TIME
Ty Kelly hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
"We'll just slate him in later on at the end of the week," Williams said.
Cardinals: Matheny said John Lackey will start in Friday's split-squad game at Roger Dean Stadium against the Mets, while Carlos Martinez will head to Viera to face the Nationals.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Nationals: Jayson Werth played only in the field in a minor league game on Wednesday. Afterward, he was scheduled to get more aggressive with his batting practice. Werth underwent offseason shoulder surgery and has yet to appear in an exhibition
game.
"I'm encouraged by him," Williams said. "There's no issue with throwing, so that's a good sign."
Closer Drew Storen appeared in a minor league game on Wednesday. He underwent surgery to repair a broken non-throwing hand earlier this spring. He is expected to be ready for the start of the season.
game.
Cardinals: Tommy Pham, whose candidacy for the final outfield spot is running out of time, did some running before the game but still isn't ready to play because of a quad injury.
The Cardinals' lineup looked much the same as it is expected to look once the season begins, which means Jon Jay hitting seventh and Wong batting eighth. To Matheny, that's a formidable look.
"I don't think he's that far away," Matheny said.
MIDSEASON FORM
"That's not a whole lot of time for the opposing team to breathe," Matheny said. "Either one of those guys could really hurt you at any time."
Students and Non-Students Welcome

Nationals: Gio Gonzalez makes his fourth spring start, facing the Nationals.

Freshman Maggie Mehan and her sister, Grace, pose on campus after a lecture class. Grace, who has Down Syndrome, spent the weekend at the University with her sister to experience college life.
Sisters' bond strengthened after weekend together on campus
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
A typical night in a dorm room on Daisy Hill isn't something most college-aged people would get excited about. But spending a quiet Thursday night on the hill, painting nails and watching movies was a big deal to Grace Mehan.
Grace has Down Syndrome, and spent this weekend with her sister Maggie, a freshman from St. Louis, and the rest of
the sixth floor of McCollum residence hall.
A Bond Between Sisters
Maggie and Grace communicate at least once a day. Sometimes it's a couple texts, and sometimes it's a quick FaceTime just to say good morning. Maggie said Grace will cut her off some mornings because Grace has other things to get to.
you're still there and I can talk to you whenever we want," Maggie said.
"It'll be like a one-second conversation but that's all she needs to be able to know, 'Oh
Thursday afternoon when Maggie was waiting for her sister to get out of her class in Budig, many in the crowd of students leaving class stopped just to watch the sisters hug. It was obvious just how strong of a bond the two sisters share.
They often hold hands when walking, like they did on their way back to the dorms after class. That is, when Grace isn't walking up to people,
introducing herself and making friends.
Maggie said she loves the University and is glad she chose to come here, but the four-hour drive from home wasn't easy at first.
She said it was especially tough to leave her family and especially her sister, who she said has been her best friend "since, well, forever."
The Mehan sisters act the way most close sisters do.

Long wait for CAPS appointments credited to poor funding, few doctors

ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
The current wait for an appointment with Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at the University is an astounding three weeks. Student Body Vice President Miranda Wagner said there are two reasons for this: not enough staff members and lack of funding.
Student Body Vice President Miranda Wagner is trying to make CAPS a priority for the University.
Suicide rates among young women are on the rise.
The current wait for an appointment with CAPS is approximately three weeks.
"Based on the national standards for how many mental health professionals should be on a campus in proportion to the students, the University is six people short." Wagner said.
Wagner said not only is there no money to hire more professionals, but there is no physical space to expand CAPS.
To do this, Student Senate instituted a new advisory board last semester. Though there was already-
This shortage in money stemmed from the 2008 economic crash when the University was forced to cut funds from different programs, CAPS facing the largest of cuts, according to Wagner.
"It's concerning," Wagner said. "We can't treat CAPS like that ever again, and they need to stay a priority."
"We found a high connection between the availability of services and being able to stay on

a student health board in collaboration with Watkins Health Services, this new subcommittee works specifically for CAPS.
This connection could also be seen in the evaluations that CAPS does at the end of each semester. Any student who has used the services does an evaluation, and so far, the retention rate among these particular students is 100 percent.
The subcommittee will present the research in a formal report.
"It's my goal that with the creation of this board and

Kansas Senate OKs University cuts, lowers financial aid funds
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
The University is likely facing more cuts from the Kansas legislature due to an amendment that passed in the Senate on Wednesday to cut $9.4 million over the next two fiscal years from the University's Lawrence campus. When the House reconvenes on Monday, they're likely to concur on the amendment, passing it to the Governor for final approval.
Senator Laura Kelly (D-Topeka) is a ranking minority member on the Senate Ways and Means Education Subcommittee, which is responsible for this amendment. She said she viewed this as an attack by Subcommittee Chair Senator Tom Arpke (R-Salina) on higher education that singled out the University of Kansas. Senator Arpke, who pushed for the passage of this amendment, was unavailable for comment at this time.

"It has been obvious to me since I began working on the higher education subcommittee with Senator Arpke that he has a particular distaste for all things KU," Kelly said. "I really don't know why that is. It's hard to get inside his head and figure out what it is about KU that he dislikes so much, but whatever it is, it is very obvious."
Kelly said the justification given for the cuts was that the University has seen a decline in enrollment over the past few years. However, she said there is no reason for such cuts and for the legislature to interfere with the traditional way money is allocated by the Board of Regents to the Universities. Generally, they put together block grants, give them to the Board of Regents and the board allocates them to the universities.

Mahesh Daas named new architecture dean
After months of searching and interviewing different applicants, Mahesh Daas, professor and chairman of the Department of Architecture at Ball State University, has been selected as the new dean for the School of Architecture, Design and Planning. He will begin June 15.
KANSAN: Why did you decide on this position here at the University?
DAAS: I thought it was a natural time in my career to be looking at other options, so when this opportunity came up, I was interested not only for the actual job, but because of my very relevant personal connections to Kansas.

I also lived on a farm and worked for a summer on Santa Fe trail tourism development in central Kansas, Ellinwood and Great Bend. That's when I truly understood

DAAS: Many things. I'm mostly excited to pull together students, faculty, staff and alumni to find the strengths of the school and learn what it's really about and how we can move forward. It's important to reflect and contemplate about the future of the school, and this transition will allow us to do that.

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identifying suicide as the leading cause of death for people of ages 10-24, mental health has been a topic of discussion among colleges across the U.S.
Chris Maxwell, project coordinator at the Kansas Suicide Prevention Resource Center, said that despite trends in the report, suicide rates are
This report showed that suicide rates among young women have been steadily increasing since the mid-2000s, and suicide by suffocation for young women has also tripled since 1994.
"An emotional illness needs to be treated the same as any other type of illness."
VICTOR SCHWARTZ Medical director for Jed Foundation
rising across all variables. "The rate [of suicides] for males of all ages and ethnicities is still higher than that of women, and it will be that way for a while, if not always," Maxwell said. "As of right now, the shift for young women is just rising at a sharper rate."
"Specifically for college students, we need to educate incoming freshmen during orientation, whether it be ways to cope with stress or problem-solving skills," Maxwell said. "We don't ever want someone to reach the point of feeling suicidal."
Maxwell said that he nor the CDC knows the reasoning behind this shift. What was important,
he said, was to pay more attention and increase education.
A national program that promotes emotional health and strives to prevent suicide among college students is the Jed Foundation. Victor Schwartz, the medical director for the foundation, said he finds the new data to be troubling.
"It's not so clear what's happening specifically on college campuses," Schwartz said. "While it's easy to assume that these young people ages 18 to 25 are attending school, there's no guarantee."
CLAS drops 100 hour graduation requirement
Schwartz said young people in college are actually less suicidal than those not in school, but this fact does not diminish the severity of the issue.

The College Academic Council voted to eliminate the requirement that students complete 100 College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) hours as part of the requirements for a bachelor's degree at its March meeting.
In an email sent to the KU Advising Network on March 27, Administrative Director of Student Academic Services Karen Ledom said the change will take effect in summer 2015. This applies to all CLAS students, regardless of initial KU term.
CLAS Director of Communications Kristi Henderson said students will still have to complete their
KU Core requirements, major requirements, and electives.
"It makes it a lot easier for students with multiple degrees, or if they're in a professional school and want to have a major in the College" she said.
Before the recommendation was approved, the proposal was introduced in the Committee on Undergraduate Studies and Advising.
It then moved up to the College Academic Council where it was officially approved. Ledom's email also said the recommendation
wasn't given final approval in time to update the information in the next university catalog, but all students should have a degree progress report that correctly excludes the 100 hour rule no later than Aug. 3.
"If students have any questions as far as how it applies to their studies or their degree, they should contact our Student Academic Services office," Henderson said.

did that slight decline justify such severe reductions," she said. "That's not the way we calculate budgets. We're really meddling in the Regents business when we get down to making specific appropriations for a program. It wouldn't say this is a precedent, we've done it before, but never to this extent and never with this sort of malice of intent."
Senator Anthony Hensley (D-Topeka) said he views the cuts as as a personal attack on the University of Kansas by Arpke.
"Well, it's a fairly significant cut to the University," he said. "It seems to me that what's happened in the process here, debating the budget, is that KU was singled out for cuts, which I believe is very unfortunate. The person mainly responsible for that is the Chairman of the Subcommittee, Tom Arpke. That's how I'd characterize it, — a personal vendetta against KU."
This leaves only $16 million in the State Scholarship fund, which in previous years was split with half going to state universities and half going to private universities. Under this amendment. 83 percent of the funds will go to the nearly 20 percent of Kansas students who attend private universities, while one 17 percent will aid state university students.
Additionally, Kelly said in the preliminary report, the $9.4 million was cut from the Lawrence campus, but $7.4 was allocated to the University Medical Center-Wichita and $2 million would be put into the State scholarship fund. However, when the Subcommittee reworked the bill, the entire $9.4 million was taken from the University, but none was reallocated anywhere.
"I think there's a general disdain on the part of my colleagues for the four

year liberal arts universities, Kelly said. "They're more comfortable with technical education and they've actually put money into technical education, as they're decreasing it for the four year liberal arts colleges."
These cuts are in addition to the previous allotments ordered by Gov. Brownback that cut University funding by $2.7 million. However, while this $9.4 million is by far the largest cut, Kelly said she wouldn't be surprised if more cuts were made to try and remedy the budget crisis by the end of the fiscal year on June 30. Kelly said the budget passed Wednesday doesn't balance, something that she hasn't seen in her 11 years on the committee.
"Part of it is a knee-jerk vote in what I would consider to be reckless and irresponsible pieces of policy," she said. "While I think there's greater animosity to KU, K-State did not get off the hook with this one. After the Subcommittee meeting, it was quite heated! It's very unfortunate, and people need to make a lot of noise."
"The budget we passed yesterday didn't balance, and we don't do that," she said. "We call this our mega-budget, when we come back from veto session, we'll do omnibus budget. We'll take the mega-budget and everything we did in law and reconcile the books and pass the omnibus budget. The constitution says we're required to have a balanced budget, originally what wed do if we couldn't get it all together is we wouldn't pass
the mega budget."
"The only reason it's that low is because we're stealing from the Department of Transportation and various other funds and sweeping into the general fund to fill the holes," Kelly said. "If we weren't doing that, it'd be closer to $500 million. The reason this is like it is because they passed those very reckless income tax cuts in 2012 and 2013."
"I think many of them are taking advantage of this revenue shortfall to shrink government," she said. "I think there are some that really like the direction we're going. They like underfunding higher education, public education, our social services, our infrastructure programs and even our public safety programs. I think there are a number of my colleagues and thats why they came to the legislature. They have no heartache over what's going on right now."
Kelly said the reason behind pushing out the mega-budget is so the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee can work with the numbers provided and decide what taxes need to be raised to ensure Kansas can meet its constitutional requirements. She said the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee has to come up with nearly $200 million, a number that'd be higher if the State wasn't sweeping funds from various funds into the general funds.
Kelly said she foresees this bill passing and becoming law, but feels there's an underlying problem with the majority of the Republicanled Senate and the way the look at government's purpose.

Thousands of opponents of Indiana Senate Bill 101, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, gathered on the lawn of the Indiana State House to rally against that legislation Saturday. Republican Gov. Mike Pence signed a bill Thursday prohibiting state laws that "substantially burden" a person's ability to follow his or her religious beliefs.

Indiana governor: New law 'not about discrimination'
ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence defended the new state law that's garnered widespread criticism over concerns it could foster discrimination against gays and lesbians and said Sunday it wasn't a mistake to have enacted it.
Pence appeared on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" to discuss the measure he signed last week prohibiting state laws that "substantially burden" a person's ability to follow his or her religious beliefs. The definition of "person" includes religious institutions, businesses and associations.
Since the Republican governor signed the bill into law Thursday, Indiana has been widely criticized by businesses and organizations around the nation, as well as on social media with the hashtag #boycottindiana. Already, consumer review service Angie's List has said it will suspend a planned expansion in !Indianapolis because of the new law.
Pence did not answer directly when asked at least six times whether under the law it would be legal for a merchant to refuse to serve gay customers. "This is not about discrimination, this is about empowering people to confront government overreach," he said. Asked again, he said, "Look, the issue here is still is tolerance a
two-way street or not."
Sexual orientation is not covered under Indiana's civil rights law. Pence has said he "won't be pursuing that."
The governor told the Indianapolis Star on Saturday that he was in discussions with legislative leaders over the weekend and expects a clarification bill to be introduced in the coming week. He addressed that Sunday, saying, "if the General Assembly ... sends me a bill that adds a section that reiterates and amplifies and clarifies what the law really is and what it has been for the last 20 years, then I'm open to that."
But Pence was adamant that the measure, slated to take effect in July, will stick.

House GOP caucus spokeswoman Tory Flynn referred questions about those discussions and possible language to the governor's office; it didn't response to a request for comment Sunday.
"We're not going to change this law," he said.
Some national gay-rights groups say it's a way for lawmakers in Indiana, and several other states where such bills have been proposed this year, to essentially grant a state-sanctioned waiver for discrimination as the nation's highest court prepares to null the gay marriage question.
Supporters of the law, including Pence, contend discrimination claims are overblown and insist it will
keep the government from compelling people to provide services they find objectionable on religious grounds. They also maintain courts haven't allowed discrimination under similar laws covering the federal government and 19 other states. Arkansas is poised to follow in Indiana's footsteps, with a final vote expected next week in the House on legislation that Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson has said he'll sign.
Josh Earnest, President Barack Obama's spokesman, appeared on "This Week" just after Pence and said the debate isn't a political argument.
"If you have to go back two decades to try to justify what you're doing today, it may raise questions," Earnest said, referring to the 1993 federal law Pence brought up. He added that Pence "is in damage-control mode this morning and he's got some damage to fix."
State Rep. Ed DeLaney, an Indianapolis Democrat, told a large, boisterous crowd Saturday gathered outside of the Statehouse to protest that the law creates "a road map, a path to discrimination." Rally attendees chanted "Pence must go!" several times and held signs that read "No hate in our state."
Pence addressed the critics Sunday, saying: "This avalanche of intolerance that's been poured on our state is just outrageous." Asked if he would be willing to add
sexual orientation to the list of characteristics against which discrimination is illegal, he said, "I will not push for that. That's not on my agenda, and that's not been an objective of the people of the state of Indiana."
Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, a Republican who opposed the law, has said he and other city officials will talk with businesses and convention planners to counter the uproar.
U. S. Sen. Joe Donnelly, a Democrat, encouraged Indiana residents who oppose the law to speak with their elected officials and said in a statement Sunday that he'll
work with elected leaders who understand Indiana a stronger state when it is clear it values all state residents.
Angie's List had sought an $18.5 million incentive package from Indianapolis'
City-County Council to add 1,000 jobs over five years. But founder and CEO Bill Oserle said in a statement Saturday that the expansion was on hold "until we fully understand the implications of the freedom restoration act on our employees."
The Indianapolis-based NCAA has expressed concerns about the law and has suggested moving future events elsewhere.

Scholarships should take major into account
Matthew Clough
@mcloughsofly
The price of college has long been a hotly contested issue.
especially as the cost of tuition continues to rise each year. Over the course of four years, this year's in-state freshmen can expect to pay $38,192 for tuition alone, as reported by KU Admissions. Add in campus fees, potential housing charges and supplies for an additional average of $9,500 each year. Luckily, the University alleviates some of this financial burden by offering renewable scholarships to students with certain ACT/SAT test scores and GPAs. However, the standards to renew such scholarships each year are somewhat unbalanced across majors. Upon submitting an application, high school seniors are eligible to receive one of five scholarships based on their GPA and test scores while
in high school, according to the admissions website. The lowest scholarship grants a student $1,000 each year, while the highest grants $5,000. In order to renew these scholarships while attending the University, the student must enroll in at least 30 credit hours per year and maintain a 3.4 GPA.
high standards as students with degrees in higher average GPA fields.
At first glance, these standards seem fair. The enrollment requirement ensures that students focus on school by managing a full schedule. The GPA requirement also seems effective, because it demands that students devote care and attention to achieving high grades. Such standards should be required for any scholarship. However, the problem lies in the fact that the set GPA requirement does not consider the difficulty of a student's workload.
switching to something else because their courses are too difficult, according to a New York Times article. After reviewing over 5,000 students over the course of nearly 10 years,a Wake Forest professor concluded that chemistry majors only averaged a 2.78 GPA.
This is not to say that all engineering/science majors perform worse than education majors.
While each major requires different types and amounts of work that may be better suited to certain types of people, it is difficult to deny that some majors are harder than others. For example, studies have shown that around 40 percent of students pursuing science or engineering majors end up
Every major is different and has different levels of success among individual students.
"While each major requires different types and amounts of work that may be better suited to certain types of people, it is difficult to deny that some majors are harder than others."
However, these studies indicate that STEM majors continually report lower average GPA's, and as a whole, it seems more challenging for students in these programs to achieve higher grades. These students should not be penalized for pursuing a "harder major" by losing scholarships if they cannot maintain a 3.4 GPA.
In terms of scholarships, it doesn't seem fair that students pursuing degrees in fields with lower average GPAs should be held to the same
Granted, KU Core can help balance out this issue, at least for a student's first few semesters. If students are
The Wake Forest study also found that education majors rank among the highest GPAs, earning a 3.36 on average. Some reports claim even higher GPAs for education majors. The University of Missouri, for example, has education majors with average GPAs of 3.8, CBS News reports.
required to complete roughly the same level of coursework for general education requirements, then there isn't much discrepancy between fields. However, once students start getting into the courses for their major, differences begin to emerge.
with a simple solution, but some measures should be taken to ensure equity across majors. In order to keep a scholarship, STEM majors should not be required to maintain the same GPA as students studying fields in the humanities, for example. The playing field can be equalized if majors are assessed on an individual basis. The 3.4 GPA requirement is reasonably demanding for students pursuing majors in the humanities, but too challenging for students in STEM fields. The credit hour requirement should stay the same across the board, but renewable scholarship GPA requirements should be lowered in STEM departments by at least a couple tenths of a point.

How do I tell my boyfriend I hate pet names?
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritz
I have never dated a guy who didn't use pet names, and quite frankly some of them were just weird. I pray for your sake that "sweet bottom" is not one of your boyfriend's pet names for you.
Regardless of whether the pet names are cute or not, if you don't like to be called something other than your name, then your boyfriend needs to be aware of that.
There was a point in my life where I absolutely detested being called "babe." Anytime my boyfriend would call me "babe," the first thing that popped into my mind was a pig. After realizing he would keep calling me the name of a pig from a children's novel, I finally got the courage to say something.
It's really difficult to confront your significant other about any issue that you may have with them.
explaining that anyone could call you these pet names and you would still cringe. As cliché as it sounds, it's not him — it's you.

I would approach him by asking if he has ever been called a nickname in his life that he wasn't fond of. Most of us have had this experience at least once, so it's a pretty safe bet that he has too. Once he answers, use this to transition into explaining how you aren't a huge fan of pet names.
The best way to get this point across without hurting his feelings is by
"I AM A FIRM BELIEVER THAT WE TEND TO BECOME WHAT WE ARE CALLED. CALL A GIRL A LADY AND WATCH HER CROSS HER LEGS, CALL A BOY A GENTLEMAN AND WATCH HIM STAND UP TALLER."
I am a firm believer that we tend to become what we are called. Call a girl a lady and watch her cross her legs; call a boy a gentleman and watch him stand up taller. How people refer to us can hold a certain importance to who we are as an individual. Make him aware of this. Let him know that while, yes, most girls do love pet names, you're different and your individuality is probably one of the reasons why he is dating you and not other girls.
It's not because you don't want him to be sweet, but simply because you are not comfortable with the idea of being referred to as someone's "honey bunny" — and yes, I've gotten that one before, too.
What we are called plays a huge role in our identities. Even if they are just pet names, they can carry weight. If they make you feel degraded, stupid or just plain weird, then he needs to stop.

Younger generation has duty to end cyberbullying
When Monica Lewinsky's name comes up, one doesn't think about the impressive career she built for herself, her degree from the London School of Economics, or the volunteer work she has done to help others, according to the New York Times. The first thoughts that pop into most people's minds have to do with her affair with former president Bill Clinton and the infamous blue dress. Unfortunately, a common word used in association
posts online, as well as the interconnectedness of users from around the world, allows for the degradation of a person's character by thousands of strangers. This problem is mostly prevalent in our generation.
According to a study by the Pew Research Center, out of 2,849 young web users, more than 1,850 reported experiencing one of six types of harassment that respondents were surveyed on. These types ranged in severity from the use of offensive names to stalking. Even though more males are exposed to online harassment than women (44 percent vs. 37 percent), there is an imbalance in the severity of harassment women experience.
Records kept by the Justice Department about cyberstalking in relation to gender reveal that 70 percent of cyberstalking
victims are women, and 80 percent of the stalkers were men. Other studies have also found that women face more extreme forms of harassment, such as rape, death threats and leaking of personal "pornographic" pictures, according to TIME magazine.
"THE NATURE OF THESE PERSONAL AND TERRIFYING VERSIONS OF CYBER BULLYING AGAINST WOMEN ARE PSYCHOLOGICALLY DAMAGING. THE EFFECTS OF WHICH INCLUDE PHYSICAL DAMAGES, AS CAN BE SEEN IN THE CASES OF PEOPLE WHO COMMIT SUICIDE OR SELF-HARM DUE TO HARASSMENT."
"For girls and women, harassment is not just about 'un-pleasantries.' It's often about men asserting dominance, silencing, and frequently, scaring and punishing them," said
with Lewinsky is "slut." However, in an attempt to recreate her public image, Lewinsky has become an icon to empower victims of digital harassment, particularly women. In the past couple weeks, she published an essay about her experience in Vanity Fair and gave a TED talk about cyberbullying. Her case, as well as many others, highlight a bigger problem we have in society. Social media and the viral nature of certain
with Lewinsky is "slut."
Soraya Chemaly, writer of the TIME magazine article. "Women are more frequently targeted with gendered slurs and pornographic photo manipulation because the objectification and dehumanization of women is central to normalizing violence against us."
The nature of these personal and terrifying versions of cyberbullying against women are psychologically damaging. The effects of which include physical damage, as can be seen in the cases of people who commit suicide or self-harm due to harassment. That's not to say that men will never face the experiences with cyberbullying that many women face when venturing online. But because we live in a society that values shaming others and devalues the lives of women, according to Lewinsky, the consequences of these ideals have a greater effect on a broader range of women than they have on men.
"We have created, to borrow a term from historian Nicolaus Mills, a 'culture of humiliation' that... rewards those who humilate others, from the ranks of the paraparazzi to the gossip bloggers, the late-night comedians, and the Web 'entrepreneurs' who profit from clandestine videos," Lewinsky said in her Vanity Fair essay.
Since this medium is mostly shared and used by young people and mostly affects the lives of young people (as the Pew study reported), we are the people who should be responsible for ending this culture of humiliation before it destroys even more lives.

Sophomore to release single on iTunes

While many mechanical engineering students are overloaded with homework and difficult calculations, Bryton Stoll, a sophomore from Marysville, finds extra time to create music.
In addition to pursuing more gigs this year, Stoll recorded five songs this past summer. Stoll said he finetuned one of the tracks and decided he wanted to release it as a single. It will be available on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify within a week.
He also competed in this year's KU's Got Talent and placed second for his two original songs, "Finger on the Trigger" and "A Long Ways from Nowhere." One of the main reasons he chose to come to the University was because of Lawrence's music scene.
Nicolas Stoll, Bryton's brother, said they've been playing music together for almost 10 years.
"Seeing what he comes up with, that's probably the best part. And to see what his potential is, to see how far he can take it [his musical talents]," Nicolas said.
Bryton said music for him really began to kick off when his father formed a family band. He said his father would sing and play guitar.
Bryton said The Bryton Stoll Band began in his
"Him and my uncle started teaching my brother to play the drums, so the only thing left was the bass. So I got a cheap little bass guitar and they started teaching me to play that, then eventually I started singing," he said.
junior year of high school.
"Slowly but surely, I learned the six string guitar, started writing songs and singing, and now I have my own band," he said.
"It was a class in our high school that started up my freshman year that was basically a rock band," he said. "It was awesome."
Bryton said one of the biggest struggles with the band is getting together for practice. He said it's difficult because each member
Bryton said one of his favorite memories was in a high school class called popular music lab. He said all of the band members were also in that class at one point, which is how the band got started.
attends a different university or lives in a different place.
"Other than that, I would say it's tough getting started, to find a place to play and get your name out there, but once you get the ball tolling it gets a little easier," he said.
"I can't really get away from it," Bryton said.
Bryton said he's looking to a future in music with optimism.
Bryton said his favorite part about playing music is the lure of it. He said a driving force for why he does it is because it's a lot of fun. Music is also something he feels will always stick with him.
Bryton has also been collaborating on a different project with twin musicians
Amanda and Kelley Sharp, freshmen from Olathe. The twins participated in KU's Got Talent several weeks ago and placed first. Stoll said they are planning on writing music together, but they are not sure what it will be just yet.
More information about Bryton's upcoming shows and songs can be found on his Facebook page, website, and Twitterfeed at @BrytonStoll.
"My hope is that by the time I graduate I'll kind of have a little network built up, and I can just hit the road as soon as I graduate. And whenever it'll allow it, I'll get a mechanical engineering job," Bryton said.
Bryton's best advice for other up-and-coming musicians is not to give up, something he said he knows sounds cliché, but has learned there's value in it.
"Like everyone says, you just have to keep going for it," he said. "I've started to realize everybody would always say that to me, and I would hear them, and I'm beginning to realize what they meant. The more you just do all of it, the better you get. The more you try to get a gig, the more likely you are to get the gig. The more you write songs, the better the songs get, and the more you practice, the better you sound."

SISTERS FROM PAGE 1
Maggie is pre-physical therapy at the University and hopes that her sister's stay will help her understand more of her life when she's away at college.
Grace and Maggie will make jokes, hang out and catch up on their lives now that they're apart from each other.
"I think when she does something like this, she's more likely to understand what's going on, what I'm doing and now whenever she'll FaceTime me she'll be like, 'oh, are you in your dorm?' and she'll know what it looks like," Maggie said.
A trip to Lawrence
The first couple of hours on a college campus can be nervewracking for anyone. With entirely new faces around you and no sense of direction, it can be overwhelming.
In her first hours on campus,
Grace walked up to most people she saw and started conversations, made friends, played a quick game of soccer on Jayhawk Boulevard and gave hugs to people she had just met. Most students won't start that many conversations with strangers in their entire time at the University.
"The two are truly close. Grace needed to see that Maggie was in good hands with good people," Tom said. "Maggie's classmates have always accepted and embraced Grace as a friend. I wanted them to have the opportunity to see why Maggie is who she is."
Grace has traveled to other high schools in the St. Louis area where she's from to get different experiences. She also visited her older brother when he attended college in New York.
Tom, the girls' father, originally planned the visit.
Grace was a part of a seven-year special education
Grace has three jobs at home in St. Louis. She is a hostess at two restaurants and also works at the Down Syndrome office in the area.
During her trip to the University she tended to do equal parts taking in what was around her as well as worrying about her responsibilities back home. She made several calls to check in on her work and let them know she wouldn't be around this weekend.
program in the Kirkwood, Mo., area where she graduated high school. Grace played basketball and soccer and ran track. After high school, she spent three years at Webster University, also in the St. Louis area. Grace learned to take the public bus so she could continue her education. The Mehans built a bus stop specifically for Grace and often decorate it for different holidays.
Grace's lack of fear for trying new things is apparent from the first time you meet her.
Maggie said it comes from her parents. They never let her disability get in the way of her living her life.
they never really said 'no,' Maggie said. "Like 'oh no Grace you can't learn how to ride a bike," or 'oh no Grace, you can't go out and get those jobs... I think that's one of the reasons she's really high functioning, always on the phone, always very social. She's always been like that."
Grace knows she has Down Syndrome, and she will tell people about it when she needs to, typically to discourage use of certain words associated with it.
Situational favoritism
Grace has a tendency to declare all those currently around her as her "favorites."
Many of Maggie's friends who spent time with the two this weekend became Grace's "favorite boy" or "favorite girl."
The Mehan family will tell you that it's lucky that
Grace only had one sister (her "favorite sister") and one brother (her "favorite brother") because she never had to actually choose.
Grace's relationship with Maggie goes beyond naming her a favorite for a few minutes or a couple of hours. Maggie and Grace's can now add memories at the University to their list of things they've done together.
She said that when Maggie comes home it's not because she's homesick, it's because she's "sister sick."
When Grace was at the University this weekend she was able to experience a lot of what makes Lawrence and the University memorable and important to so many people. But when asked what her favorite part of her trip to Lawrence was, the answer was simple.
"Being with my favorite sister," Grace said.

First Lady Michelle Obama declares 'Black Girls Rock!'
"There is nothing more important than being serious about your education," Obama said. "That's why I am able to stand here tonight. ... I want every one of our black girls do to the same, and our black boys."
"I know there are voices that you are not good enough," she said, acknowledging that she often lacked self-confidence growing up despite encouraging parents.
Will Smith gave an emotional tribute to his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who received the Star Power award. Smith alluded to persistent rumors that the couple's marriage was in trouble.
Obama's speech was just one of many highlights of the nearly four-hour event, which will be shown Sunday, April 5. on BET.
"Each of those doubts was like a test," she said, "that I either shrink away from or rise to meet. And I decided to rise."
"In that brief moment my heart jumped for a second and I started to imagine what my life would have been like without that woman," he said as the couple's daughter, Willow, beamed from the audience.
Obama, who recently completed a trip to Japan and Cambodia as part of her worldwide push for better educational opportunities for girls, lauded the young honorees for excelling in their studies.
NEKESA MUMBI MOODY Associated Press
NEWARK, N.J. — First Lady Michelle Obama celebrated the beauty, power and tenacity of black women while spreading her own message of education for girls at Black Girls Rock! an annual event honoring trailblazing women of color from all walks of life.
Obama acknowledged as much in her speech to celebrate three young honorees.
Obama was not among the honorees at Saturday night's festivities, held at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. That distinction went to actress lada Pinkett Smith, singer Erykah Badu, actress Cicely Tyson. "Selma" director Ava DuVernay, educator Nadia Lopez and Dr. Helene D. Gayle, president and CEO of CARE USA, a humanitarian organization.
He said when one rumor got out of control, he had a chance for reflection.
"I am so proud of you. My husband, your president, is so proud of you," she added. "We have so much hope and dreams for you."
When Pinkett Smith accepted the honor, she alluded to recent slights of black girls and women including a college baseball player's slur against Little League pitcher Moane Davis as reasons why Black Girls Rock! is necessary.
However, Obama was the most celebrated participant. Wearing a form-fitting white dress, she jammed to performances from the likes of Badu, Fantasia, Sheila E!, Estelle and others and applauded the honorees.
Obama got arguably the night's loudest ovation as she came on stage and declared "Black girls rock!" — the slogan and name of the organization founded by Beverly Bond. It is designed to uplift young black girls, a group that often has difficulty finding positive and reaffirming images of themselves in the world.
"No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, you are beautiful," Obama told the crowd, which included many young black girls.
She also implored black women to celebrate and be aware of their own strength.
"I need you to understand that we are the women who marched from cotton fields into fields of medicine ... politics ... entertainment," she said. "We have found a way to march into the White House."

COMMENTARY Coaches need to improve late-game strategy
Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU
On Saturday, two non one seeds had prime opportunities to reach
the Final Four, but both fell inclose games after suspect coaching decisions.
First, the Arizona Wildcats nearly knocked off the favored Wisconsin Badgers, but coach Sean Miller made two crucial coaching mistakes that hurt his team's chances down the stretch.
In the first half, Wisconsin's Duje Duken scored with 50 seconds left, giving Arizona a great opportunity for a quick twoforone. Instead, the Wildcats chose to hold the ball. While they did get a basket, it was wiped out seconds later as Wisconsin's Sam Dekker scored the other way.
The same night, Notre Dame just missed out on upsetting the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats, losing by two points. Once again, it came down to coaching.
Then, despite having only 50 seconds remaining in the game, Arizona, down five, chose not to foul. Sure enough, Wisconsin graciously ran down the clock, and with 20 seconds left, Sam Dekker pulled up and drained a three that ended the game.
It would be one thing to nitpick strategies in a game that finished with a seven-point margin, but what about a game that went down to the buzzer?
With 1:14 left, Notre Dame had the ball in a tie game, with a prime two-for-one opportunity. However, the Irish ran the clock all the way down, resulting was a shot clock violation, giving Kentucky the ball in a tiegame with 34 seconds left.
Having already blown the twoforone, the Irish were essentially left with two possibilities for regulation — lose or tie. An overtime contest likely meant a loss as well.
But, there was another way for the Irish to give themselves a fighting chance: foul. With Kentucky in the 1and1, Notre Dame coach Mike Brey couldve had his team foul any of the Wildcats, including Willie CauleyStein, who came into the game at 61.7percent from the line.
While it may seem far-fetched to foul in that situation, it's commonly done overseas in European basketball. Instead, the Irish chose to play it out and Kentucky scored, ending the game. In both cases, either coach choosing to play the percentages and make the smart play over the traditional one may have resulted in a victory.
In the first two Elite Eight games, two coaches relied on traditional thinking, and in the end, both were eliminated. It's just like Brad Pitt said in the movie Moneyball: "Adapt or die."

Tennis loses two matches on Texas trip
JULIE SMITH

@jclemn9
No. 75 Kansas suffered a pair of close defeats over the weekend to unranked North Texas and No. 62 SMU by a score of 43 in both matchups.
Kansas tennis player Alexis Czapinksi reaches to hit a backhand during her singles match against Iowa on March 2. The Jayhawks spent the weekend in Texas, where they lost their matches to both North Texas and Southern Methodist University.-
MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN
The Jayhawks had strong performances in singles play, but failed to secure the doubles point in both meetings, which eventually costed the team two non-conference matchups.
"We've got to get our doubles corrected," coach Todd Chapman said in a press release. "We gave up two doubles matches without competing the way we needed to."
Against North Texas, Kansas's top doubles pairing of freshman Alexis Czapinski and senior Maria Belen Ludueña was completely outclassed by North Texas seniors Kseniya Bardabush and Franziska Sprinkmeyer as they dropped the match 6-0.
In singles, the Jayhawks dropped their first match, creating a 2-0 hole that eventually buried Kansas.
Kansas' second doubles pairing was able to score, but freshmen Madison Harrison and Smith Hinton were unable to win their match. They fell 6-4, dropping the doubles point.
Harrison was able to come back after dropping her first set 4-6 by winning the second set 7-5 before taking the match with a 6-4 third set victory and moving the
Jayhawks to within a point difference of North Texas.
Freshman Rachel McNeely lost 75, 76 before Kansas fought North Texas to a 33 tie with wins on courts one and four. Luduena won 6-7, 6-4, 6-2, and Collins won 6-2, 6-7, 6-1.
the script was nearly the same against SMU as the Jayhawks dropped the doubles point once again before losing in the sixth and
Czapinski's 6-7, 6-1, 6-1 defeat on court six sealed Kansas' fate on the day.
final singles match.
The doubles pairing of McNeely and Collins dropped the first doubles match 6-2 before Czapinski and Luduena fell 6-3 to surrender the point.
Kansas found itself in yet another 2-0 hole after Czapinski dropped her singles match 6-4, 6-0 to kick off singles play.
Hinton and Harrison secured back-to-back wins to even things up at 2-2 and gave the Jayhawks a chance to win.
SMU and Kansas split the next two matches to set up a deciding match on court one between Ludeña, last week's hero for Kansas, and Mustang junior Hristina Dishkova. The two players battled to one 75 win apiece in the first two sets before Dishkova finished off last week's Big 12
After the pair of close matches, coach Chapman emphasized the importance of each point.
Player of the Week 64 in the third set.
"We have got to get better at the mental toughness side of things," Chapman said in a press release. "We're good enough to win these matches. We need to figure out the right mindset on every single set."
The Jayhawks fell to 69 overall and 06 on the road. Their return to action on April 4 against instate rival Kansas State will mark their return to the friendly confines of the Jayhawk Tennis Center in Lawrence where they hold a 42 record and a two-game

Spring means baseball season, and the Kansas Jayhawks' baseball players know a thing or two about streaks.
The Jayhawks have two red-hot batters at the moment, seniors Connor McKay and Blair Beck. The two have combined for 69 hits on the season, which is over one-fourth of the Jayhawks total for the season.
Beck has been on fire as of late and is currently on a 10-game hitting streak that
dates back to March 13.
The streak has lasted throughout the series against the likes of Big Ten teams like Michigan and Iowa, as well as Missouri State; however, it was the most recent series against Texas Tech that meant the most to him.
Originating from Midland, Texas, Beck was able to extend his streak by three games in front of his family in Lubbock. Midland is just short of a two hour drive from Lubbock, allowing his family to make the trip.
"It felt really good to play in front of family, all of them
came up, and some of them bussed up from Midland. I have family from all around so it was fun playing in front of them," Beck said.
"Really have to give the guys ahead of us credit for seeing a lot of pitches and getting on for us. That just enables us to get ahead in the counts and get hits."
BLAIR BECK
Outfielder
Beck made his family proud to wear Kansas Jayhawks attire as he put together five hits throughout the series with at least one in each game.
"They got bashed a little bit about wearing it, but they were wearing the red and blue this weekend," Beck said.
As Beck sits on his 10-game hitting streak, his teammate McKay has a five game lead on him with a 15-straight game hitting streak.
McKay has been a hitting machine for almost a full month as his streak began

against Grand Canyon on March 4.
The Jayhawks currently sit just .001 behind Big 12's leader TCU in batting average, and McKay is a key reason why.
The senior has a .364 batting average through 27 games, which is good enough to make him a top three batter in the conference.
McKay has been solid at getting on base at the second spot in the line-up with nine doubles and a team-leading three triples. While McKay thrives on getting on base early in the line-up, Beck has excelled at bringing McKay along with the rest of his teammates in for runs. Beck has 20 RBIs on the season including five home runs.
"(I) really have to give the guys ahead of us credit for seeing a lot of pitches and getting on for us. That just enables us to get ahead in the counts and get hits," Beck said.
There are 29 games remaining in the Jayhawks' schedule and the two streaking hitters show no signs of slowing down. If there is anything that can be taken away from this season so far, it is that there are three certainties in life: death, taxes and Beck and McKay getting a hit.

Sporting KC sees first win of season against NYCFC
CHRISTIAN HARDY
NEW YORK CITY
@HardyNFL
New York City FC coach Jason Kreis (center) watches his team run during an open training session at Yankee Stadium on March 25 in New York. Sporting Kansas City won 1-0, its first win of the season. Defender Ike Opara made the goal off a header from a throw-in from team captain Matt Besler. FRANK FRANKLIN/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sporting Kansas City defender Ike Opara had two golden opportunities to score one week ago against the Portland Timbers. He failed on both chances and hung his head post-game in the locker room as he vowed to not let it happen again.
On Saturday against New York City FC in Yankee Stadium, it took Opara only one chance. That chance — a header off a throw-in from captain Matt Besler — would be the difference maker in a 1-0 win for Sporting KC, its first of the year.
"The guy is a monster," manager Peter Vermes said of Opara, who has already scored two goals this season. "I would tell you that I think he's the best player in the league in the air ... He's been really, really dangerous."
The set pieces were going to be an obvious benefit to playing in the narrow and short Yankee Stadium, and Sporting KC used it to the best of its advantage, with its lone strike coming in the 13th minute off a set piece from the right sideline.
"We knew going in that because of the size of the field, set pieces were going to be a big part of the game, especially for us on the attacking side." Vermes said in a press release. "We worked on that the last few days, and I think it was executed really well."
The early lead wasn't under much siege until NYCFC made a strong push in the second half. Referee Edvin Jurisevic initially awarded NYCFC a penalty kick in the 67th minute after ruling a handball off Seth Sinovic inside the box. But replay showed it was New York's Andrew Jacobson who
handed the ball, and the call was overturned.
NYFCF got another good chance down the stretch in the 95th minute, but the header from Ned Grabavoy went wide, and goalkeeper Luis Marin's second-straight clean sheet stayed intact. But it couldn't have been done without outstanding work from the back four, although it was missing left back Marcel De Jong, who was on duty with the Canadian National Team.
"For the majority of time, we defended very well," Vermes said. "I think what happened in the second half — everything changed because we were up a goal. They came out ... it's their place. They've got to try and
get back into the game and they threw a lot of numbers forward."
Sporting Kansas City was also missing Roger Espinoza, who was on international duty with Honduras, and forward Krisztian Nemeth, who is recovering from a knee injury and didn't make the trip. Saturday, the team picked up another injury: winger Graham Zusi.
Winger Grimson
Zusi came up lame in the first half with a hamstring injury. Not much is known on that injury as of now. The team should have Espinoza and De Jong back next week as it takes on the Philadelphia Union on Sunday, still seeking its first home victory.

Track and field team splits up for first outdoor meet
GRAYDON MELIA
@gjmelia
The Kansas track and field team split up this weekend and traveled to Austin, Texas, and down the road to Emporia where multiple athletes had strong showings in their first outdoor competitions of the season.
Senior hurdler Michael Stigler begin his outdoor campaign with a performance to remember at the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays. Stigler finished third in the preliminaries of the 400-meter hurdles. He won the final with a time of 48.44, a world-leading time for this season. Stigler also ran in the 4x400 meter relay where he, senior James Wilson, senior Kenneth McCuin and junior Drew Matthews grabbed the second spot in the finals.
On the women's side, the distance relay team of junior Rhavean King, junior Hannah Richardson, sophomore Whitney Adams and freshman Lydia Saggau took home third place with a time of 11:21.69. The time ranks second in Kansas track and field history for that event.
King, Adams and Richardson competed in the
4x800 relay along with senior Sarah Kelly and finished in fourth place. The relay team was also able to move up the ranks in the Kansas track and field history books, as their time of 8:52.29 was good for sixth all-time
In Emporia, Kansas had five first-place finishes on the weekend, four of which came from field events. Freshman Cole Ceban's throwing distance of 17.99 meters gave him the win in the men's shot put. Junior Daina Levy won the women's hammer throw, and senior Jaimie House grabbed first in the pole vault.
Junior Anastasiya Muchkayev had a successful weekend, picking up wins in the shot put and finishing second in the discus throw. Not far behind was Levy, finishing fourth in the discus.
Next up for the team will be the Baylor Invitational on April 3.

Seventeen-season Texas basketball coach Rick Barnes has been fired. ESPN reported Saturday. Sunday, the school officially announced it "mutually agreed to part ways" with Barnes.
S
Barnes was told by Texas officials to either make adjustments to the program after this season or be dismissed from the program, multiple sources reported to ESPN. During his time at Texas, Barnes was 402-180, with three Big 12 regular seasons and 16 appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

The Longhorns were expected to be a strong team with returning players such as Isaiah Taylor, Cameron Ridley, Javan Felix and Jonathan Holmes, as well as highly anticipated recruit Myles Turner. Going into this season, Texas was
ranked No.2 in the Big 12 behind Kansas, but faltered throughout the conference, finishing seventh with an 8-10 record.
In the quarterfinals of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship, the Longhorns lost on a last second shot by Iowa State's Monte' Morris. Another defeat came from Butler
Looking forward, the question on everyone's mind is who will take this high-quality job in the Big 12? There are two names being discussed by many sources. Wichita State's Greg Marshall may

Rowing set for April 4 clash after Sunday scrimmage
GRIFFIN HUGHES
@GriffinHughes
More than 300 fans came out to watch the Kansas rowing team take 17 of 20 races in a home scrimmage against Drake and Kansas State on Sunday. All four of Kansas' varsity eight boats competed.
All boats raced five shortened runs — 1,000 meters instead of 2,000 meters which allowed coaches to address improvements between the runs. The scrimmage was more geared toward helping the coaches finalize their race lineups and crews as Kansas coaches approach the homestretch of the Big 12 season.
"I don't know if we're quite yet," Kansas coach Rob theloth told KU Athletics.
"We're still trying to get people to be consistent."
Although the races didn't count for the rankings, the Jayhawks' strong performance against two of the closest teams in the region was encouraging.
Kansas will travel to Dallas on April 4 to take on SMU before the Jayhawks hit the toughest part of their schedule. Catloth's ultimate goal is to compete in the strong Big 12 conference. He will have that chance in less than a month.
After the matchup with SMU, Kansas will compete in the Knecht Cup before facing Big 12 opponents leading up to the Big 12 Championship, which begins May 16.

The men's basketball team, led by coach Bill Self, has won at least a share of the regular season conference title for 11 years in a row. Throughout Kansas' absurd streak, a variety of personalities and playing styles has led the Jayhawks to Big 12 glory.
From one-and-dones to fifth-year seniors, and everyone in between, more than 70 players have contributed to the team's (more than) decade of dominance.
The University Daily Kansan wants to know: Of this impressive group of Jayhawks, who have fans enjoyed watching the most? Who is the Face of the Streak?
We decided to put that to the test.
After looking through the 11 rosters, we created a bracket consisting of what we believe are the 32 top players since the 2004-05 season. We know a lot of players are responsible for Kansas' conference crowns, but we narrowed it down for the sake of time.
Beginning on Tuesday, March 31, one matchup of two players will take center stage each day, leading up to the eventual reveal of the ultimate fan favorite on Thursday, April 30. Each matchup will include an online poll that will determine who moves on to the next round. The polls will be active for 24 hours,

To help you decide who should advance, we will include some of each player's biggest accomplishments and most noteworthy stats, along with video highlights of his most memorable moment(s). We hope you enjoy this stroll
More than anything, we hope this will serve as a reminder of all the talented players you've seen in Jayhawk uniforms on television or inperson over the last 11 years. Players who have contributed to one of the most impressive conference streaks in the history of college basketball.

No.22 Jayhawks suffer weekend sweep from Longhorns
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
Well, it can't get much worse than the past weekend for Kansas softball. Entering the weekend on a 10-game winning streak, the No. 22 Jayhawks looked to make a statement to start Big 12 conference play against Texas. Instead, the Longhorns soundly swept them. The Jayhawks began the weekend by falling to Texas in a 6-0 shutout. On Saturday, Kansas couldn't keep up with a powerful Texas offense, falling by a score of 11-5. On Sunday, they failed to avoid a sweep, losing by a score of 7-5.
KANSAS' LATE-INNING RALLY CUT SHORT BY LONGHORNS
After struggling to string runs together against Texas in Friday and Saturday's losses, the Jayhawks exploded for 11 hits and five runs. All five of the runs that Kansas scored came off of home runs.
"We were all about winning innings today and we really only won two, so that's not going to be enough to win the game," Kansas coach Megan Smith said. "Lily (Behrmann) coming through that first inning was big because we had struggled in the
first inning the first two games. We had a lot of home runs, but no one was on base when we hit them, which is why we couldn't pull it out."
Freshman Daniela Chavez led the Jayhawks with three hits, two of which were home runs, two runs scored and two RBIs. Sophomore Lily Behrmann got the scoring started for the Jayhawks in the first inning with a home run. Senior Chanin Naudin also got in on the action with a home run of her own. Naudin finished with two hits.
"It's just timely hitting," Naudin said. "We were seeing the ball well and maybe they didn't come up when we had runners on base, but we were hitting the ball well."
The Jayhawks recorded five home runs in the series finale, one shy of tying a Kansas singlegame record.
Keeping with the theme of the weekend, the Jayhawks' pitching staff struggled against Texas, allowing 14 hits in the game. Sophomore Sophia Templein started the game, but was pulled after allowing four runs through the first three innings. Senior Alicia Pille replaced Templein and played out the rest of the game, striking out four batters.
JAYHAWKS SWEPT BY TEXAS
"I think it's a little bit of both (Texas' good offense and mental struggles contributing to pitching struggles). You obviously have to give credit to Texas for getting as many hits as they did this weekend, but I also think that our pitching staff had the worst weekend they've had all year," Smith said. "You can't show up for your first conference series and have your worst weekend. That's what we pretty much did."
It was a rough weekend for Kansas softball. After sweeping through a tough nonconference schedule, the Jayhawks appeared to be prepared to make some noise in conference play. Unfortunately, that was not the case, as a powerful Texas offense picked apart the Jayhawks all weekend.
The Jayhawks' pitching staff particularly struggled, allowing Texas to rack up 35 hits over the three weekend games.
Up next, the Jayhawks will head to Stillwater, Okla. for a weekend series against Oklahoma State on Thursday at 6 p.m.The Jayhawks will not return to Arrocha Ballpark until April 22.

Sexual harassment reporting policy raises faculty concerns
ABBY WALSH
@abbywalsh20
A policy requiring faculty to report sexual assault and harassment complaints by students has led to an increase in reports, but some faculty members say they wouldn't feel comfortable making reports without the student's permission.
"We have had reports from professors," said Jane McQueeny, executive director of Institutional Opportunity and Access. "Are there some that may not? Probably. But I think the whole campus is pretty sensitive to making sure the students get help if something has happened."
the mandatory reporting requirement issue was raised recently in an article in Inside Higher Ed, revealing concerns that such policies, which have been widely adopted, can violate the trust students place in faculty. The University adopted its policy in 2012. McQueeny said there has been an increase of faculty reports in the three years since the policy was enacted at the University, but did not have an actual number of cases.
Not all professors think it's in the best interest of students to require reporting unless there's a real safety issue involved.
"I like treating my students like adults. If they didn't want me to report something and I was convinced they were safe and could take action on their own, then I don't know that I would report, to be honest."
ALICE LIEBERMAN Social welfare professor
Kathy Rose-Mockry, the executive director of the Emily Taylor Center, said mandated reporting is a way to ensure students are getting the help they need.
"I would not feel free to report what I had heard from a particular individual unless I had that individual's permission," said James Carothers, an English professor and president of Faculty Senate. "I feel like it's my responsibility to keep that to myself. Obviously if I heard about a felony, I would pass that
William Staples, professor of sociology, said it seemed like common sense to file a report. He said professors should stand in the place of a parent for students while they are in college, and that makes reporting an obligation in order to keep students safe.
dents' abilities to succeed seriously, and we need to get rid of any roadblocks that prevent student success," Rose-Mockry said. "Title IX legislation is in place for a purpose, and the intention is to get rid of any roadblocks that might make a student feel unsafe in the classroom."
"As a campus, we take sm.
Alice Lieberman, a professor in the School of Social Welfare, said she also believed that while the policy has good intentions, she would have reservations about notifying University officials about student complaints without their permission.
While not all students knew this policy was in place, they agreed professors should be required to report.

"I like treating my students like adults. If they didn't want me to report something and I was convinced they were safe and could take action on their own, then I don't know that I would report, to be honest," Lieberman said.

on, but I would not be comfortable filing [that] kind of report."
sponsorally Miranda Wagner, Student Senate vice president, did know the policy was in place and said student safety should always come first.
"It is really important that our faculty and staff are insuring the safety of students, so they do have an obligation to do that reporting." Wagner said.

For Lawrence glassmaking duo, teaching is an art of its own
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Crafting a new generation to twirl, mold and blow molten glass is what Illuminated Glass partners Brad Chun and Ben Kappen have focused their business on. Their combined experience of more than 35 years allows them to pass on their knowledge to anyone eager to learn.
Kappen and Chun both have experience in glassmaking, but each is specialized in a different area. Illuminated Glass currently resides in The Brewhaus coffee shop at 624 N. 2nd Street and offers classes twice a month.
Kappen opened Illuminated
Glass in 2004, making pieces from soft glassmaking and lampworking. He teamed up with Chun in 2012.
When they started, Kappen focused more on soft glassmaking, where a furnace and large space is required. Soft glass is generally seen in drinking glasses or larger chunks of glass without intricate detail. Chun focused on lampworking, where hard, or borosilicate, glass is heated by a lamp or torch and then molded into a figure.
The pair said they hope to move into a larger space and reach out to the University and the Lawrence Arts Center to teach an adjunct class.
The two began working together after Chun noticed Kappen's glass work in Third Planet's upstairs pipe shop. They met and said they immediately knew they wanted to work together.
"I hope to make a thousand new glassblowers," Chun said. "I love to teach."
- To contact Ben or Brad or to enroll in a course, visit their website: www.illuminatedglass.com.
Kappen, from Olathe, said he first saw soft glassmaking at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Mo., and was immediately captured by it. He attended the University in the '80s — after the glassblowing courses were removed from the curriculum — and studied illustration, but he dropped out when he realized his passion was glass work. Kappen then moved to Oklahoma and took a glassblowing class. Later, he moved back to Lawrence, opened a soft glass shop (which is now closed) and started to learn lampworking.
- Classes are offered twice a month, and a maximum of four people can enroll in each class.
- Illuminated Glass is located in North Lawrence inside The Brewhaus coffee shop at 624 N. 2nd Street.
Chun, who is from Hawaii, became interested in lampworking when he followed the
Grateful Dead on tour in the early '90s and noticed glass pipes were a trend, so he began making and selling them. He later moved to Oregon and worked as a glassmaking apprentice. From there, Chun's abilities far surpassed making pipes.
"While we started in the pipe movement, that's not really a part of it anymore," Chun said. "We're focused on sculpture, on teaching, and now we'll be selling raw supplies."
When the two began working together, Kappen said Chun polished his self-taught lamp-

Indiana Senate Democratic Leader Tim Lanane (ieft) D-Anderson, and Indiana House Democratic Leader Scott Pelath, D-Michigan City, call for the repeal of the Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act during a news conference.
Indiana officials try to quiet new law's backlash
TOM DAVIES Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Mike Pence called off public appearances Monday and sports officials planned an "Indy Welcomes All" campaign ahead of this weekend's NCAA Final Four in Indianapolis as lawmakers scrambled to quiet the firestorm over a new law that has much of the country portraying Indiana as a state of intolerance.
After a two-hour private meeting of House Republicans, Bosma said Monday that repealing the law isn't "a realistic goal at this point."
"I'm looking for a surgical solution, and I think the least intrusive surgery is to
Republican legislative leaders said they are working on adding language to the religious-objections law to make it clear that the measure does not allow discrimination against gays and lesbians. As signed by Pence last week, the measure prohibits state laws that "substantially burden" a person's ability to follow his or her religious beliefs. The definition of "person" includes religious institutions, businesses and associations.
"I call upon Governor Pence and the Indiana Legislature to fix this law. Either repeal it or pass a law that protects all who live, work and visit Indiana. And do so immediately. Indianapolis will not be defined by this." Ballard said.
"What we had hoped for with the bill was a message of inclusion, inclusion of all religious beliefs," Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma said. "What instead has come out is a message of exclusion, and that was not the intent."
The efforts fell flat with Democrats, who called for a repeal, and even some Republicans.
Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, a Republican, said the law threatens to undermine the city's economic growth and reputation as a convention and tourism destination and called for lawmakers to add protections for sexual orientation and gender identity to Indiana civil-rights laws.
"They're scrambling to put a good face on a bad issue. What puzzles me is how this effort came to the top of the legislative agenda when clearly the business community doesn't support it," said Bill Oesterle, an aide to Republican former Gov. Mitch Daniels and CEO of consumer reporting agency Angie's List, which canceled expansion plans in Indianapolis because of the law.
clarify that (the law) cannot be used to support the denial of goods, facilities or services to any member of the public," he said.
Pence, who defended the law during a television appearance Sunday, canceled scheduled appearances Monday night and Tuesday, in part because of planned protests.
In an essay for The Wall Street Journal, Pence said 'the

law is not a "license to discriminate" and reflects federal law. But the Affordable Care Act, he said, "renewed concerns about government infringement on deeply held religious beliefs."
Republican Senate President Pro Tem David Long stressed that the new law is based on the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, which has been upheld by courts.
The campaign's legal director, Sarah Warbelow, said the federal law was designed to ensure religious minorities were protected from laws passed by the federal government that might not have been intended to discriminate but had that effect.
"Faith and religion are important values to millions of Indiana residents," he said. "With the passage of this legislation, Indiana will continue to be a place that respects the beliefs of every person in our state."
The Indiana law, she said,
allows individuals to invoke
government action even
when the government is not
a party to a lawsuit. It also
allows all businesses to assert
religious beliefs regardless of
whether they are actually religious organizations.
But the Human Rights Campaign said it's disingenuous to compare the two laws.
She said one of the best ways
to fix the law would be to add language that explicitly says it cannot be used to undermine civil-rights laws.
Democratic House Minority Leader Scott Pelath said Republican legislators fail to admit the law is a mistake.
"They're not facing up to reality — this is a national embarrassment," Pelah said. "The bush needs to be pulled up by its roots and thrown into the fire."
Indiana University law professor Deborah Widiss said the Indiana backlash is being fueled by the legalization of gay marriage and last year's Supreme Court ruling in a case that found Hobby Lobby and other closely held private businesses with religious objections could opt out of providing the free contraceptive coverage required by the Affordable Care Act.
Indiana's lack of a law banning discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity is also a contributor she said.
Long and Bosma did not appear eager to add such protection into the measure, noting that it is a big policy decision and that only four weeks remain in this year's legislative session.
Meanwhile, the fallout continued. The public-employee union known as AFSCME announced Monday it was canceling a planned women's conference in Indianapolis this year because of the law. The band Wilco said it was canceling a May performance.
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe issued a letter to Indiana corporations saying Virginia is a business-friendly state that does "not discriminate against our friends and neighbors," while Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel sent letters to more than a dozen Indiana businesses, urging them to relocate to a "welcoming place to people of all races, faiths and countries of origin."
As a similar bill advances in Arkansas, Warbelow said lawmakers need to take notice.
Washington state Gov. Jay Inshee said he was imposing an administration-wide ban on state-funded travel to Indiana.
"We hope that the state legislature is paying attention ... and taking seriously that the whole world is looking at them," Warbelow said.

Debate team finishes regular season at No.1
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolNews
For the third time in the last 10 years, the University's debate program has ended the regular season as the top-ranked team in the country, according to a University news release.
The team will travel to the National Debate Tournament, its last competition this year. April 3-6 at the University of Iowa.
Nick Khatri is one of the students competing in the tournament. He and his partner, Chris Carey, reached the Round of 16 in the Cross Examination Debate Association National Tournament last week, but said the debate team considers the NDT its "national championship."
The University qualified three teams to compete in the national tournament, which is the maximum number of teams allowed from one school.
"For me personally, it's been an interesting year," Khatri said. "We have pretty consistently had similar results through the year. For the squad as a whole, we have surpassed the expectations that we had."

"From the other research we've been doing in class leading up to this, I think it really contributes to how we view diversity on campus and how students view it," he said. "That's kind of our overall goal, but it's still a long process."
Joseph Erba, assistant professor of strategic communications, said his class works with an on-campus office each semester. Students spend part of the semester learning about the process of conducting research; then they put their knowledge into practice by collecting data through focus groups and surveys.
Erba said the School of Journalism has been working to build a relationship with the OMA. Since his class needed a client and the OMA needed this type of research, he called it a "win-win."
In total, the class plans to hold 10 sessions, the last of which will take place Thursday. The groups last approximately 90 minutes, and Erba said they aim to include 10 to 12 student participants in each one.

"Jyleesa is an outstanding debater and an inspiration and role model for the entire debate community," Scott Harris, the debate team's director, said in the release.
Harris was awarded the Brownlee Award, which recognizes the National Debate Coach of the Year.
Khatri said it has been a successful year for Kansas debate.
"It has definitely been a long season," Khatri said. "We've been to a lot of tournaments and it's consumed a lot of weekends. It's difficult to miss school and spend your weekends flying and driving to tournaments. But it's fun. The competition makes it worth it."
"The OMA is also very interested in perceptions from faculty and staff, but it would not be possible to do everything in one semester." Erba said.

The Supreme Court of the United States will hear Kansas' appeal, which seeks to reinstate the death penalty. The appeal comes after a case in which two brothers were convicted of robbing four people and forcing them to engage in sex acts before killing them.
SCOTUS to hear Kansas plea to restore death penalty
ROXANA HEGEMAN Associated Press
WICHITA - The nation's highest court agreed Monday to hear Kansas' appeal seeking to reinstate death sentences for two brothers convicted of robbing and forcing four people engage in sex acts before being shot to death naked in a Wichita soccer field in 2000.
The U.S. Supreme Court also agreed to review a separate Kansas Supreme Court decision overturning the death sentence of a man convicted of killing a couple
in Great Bend in 2004.
The justices said they will review the Kansas high court's rulings that threw out the sentences of Jonathan and Reginald Carr and Sidney Gleason. The Kansas court hasn't upheld a death sentence since a new capital punishment law was enacted in 1994. The state's last executions, by hanging, took place in 1965.
The U.S. Supreme Court will consider instructions given to jurors in the sentencing phase of capital trials about evidence favorable to the defendants, as well as whether sentencing
The Kansas Supreme Court in July upheld one conviction of capital murder with respect to the Carr brothers, but overturned their death sentences. That same month, the court also upheld Gleason's conviction, but reversed his
"We don't think this is an issue that really is worthy of the U.S. Supreme Court's time and attention, but we are confident that once they get into it, they will recognize that the Kansas Supreme Court acted well within its discretion," Johnson said.
that the court agreed to hear the cases.
Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett said the Carr case is "important to us, important to the victims, important to this community. In terms of legal importance, well, I guess that is in the eye of the beholder. The U.S. Supreme Court obviously thought it merited their attention."
we have carefully analyzed the opinions of the Kansas Supreme Court and we do not believe they have correctly applied the U.S. Constitution," Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said in a written statement. "I am encouraged the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review the cases."
death sentence.
The brothers broke into a Wichita home in December 2000 and forced the five people there to have sex with each other and later to withdraw money from ATMs. The two women were raped repeatedly
the Carr brothers together violated their rights.
But Sarah Johnson, an attorney with the state capital appellate defender's office who represents Gleason and Jonathan Carr, said they were "honestly a little surprised"
before all five were taken to a snow-covered soccer field and shot. Four of them — 29-year-old Aaron Sander, 27-year-old Brad Heyka, 26-year-old Jason Befort and 25-year-old Heather Muller — died. One woman survived a gunshot wound to the head and ran naked through the snow to seek help.
Gleason was convicted for in the 2004 murders of Mikiala Martinez and her boyfriend, Darren Wornkey. She was a potential witness against Gleason in an earlier crime.
The cases will be argued in Washington in the fall.

Unnecessary classes have steep costs
John Olson
@JohnOlsonUDK
We all want the biggest bang for our buck. When it comes to a college education, this may be even truer. Many of us will have student loan debts of roughly $30,000 by the time we graduate, according to the Institute for College Access and Success. We want each of our willfully spent dollars to achieve our goals in an efficient and fair manner, with maximum return on our investment. Unfortunately with the University's degree requirements, this is hardly the case.
When the KU Core was implemented in Fall 2013, the purpose was to build "a broad background of knowledge," according to the University. Despite notions of increased flexibility, many students are required to take a broad assortment of classes
as a result. Courses ranging from the arts and humanities to mathematical sciences are necessary to achieve the six goals of the Core and to obtain a degree. This comes with a bite, as each of these classes cost nearly $1,000, according to Financial Aid and Scholarships. It may seem like six simple targets, but the reality is that these goals cost thousands of dollars to achieve.

is a worthy and legitimate interest. The problem is that many degree requirements may not even "well-round" us. For example, many students are required to take
Unfortunately, the costs do
The problem goes beyond individual electives. Goal 6, known as "integration and Creativity," encourages students to earn an extra major or minor, which can cost thousands more. By encouraging, and in many cases forcing, students to take these classes, the University seems to not trust us with our own money and is grabbing for as much of it as it can get.
This all amounts to increased administrative costs to implement, enforce and advise students, which is no doubt accounted for in the costly price tag of classes. With this, the University is scarcely bucking the nationwide trend of ballooning administrative budgets, which have increased by more than

western civilization classes. As participants in western society, these classes explore the history of what many of us live each day. If we truly want to broaden our minds, should we not move beyond our own history? Besides, the classes tread a well-worn path of material many of us covered in high school history courses. Such a requirement hardly gives us

new perspectives.
There is no doubt that creat ing a well-rounded student
To me, the solution for taming the expensive and exhaustive list of requirements is simple: Students should not be required to take classes that are not pertinent to their major. If potential employers prefer more "well-rounded" graduates, then individual students should take that into account. Rather than the University forcing the entire student body to take certain classes, students should be free to opt out of ones they know future employers may see no value in. Let students take charge of their own future. In the process, we each could save thousands of dollars.
Students should be allowed and encouraged to explore knowledge for themselves. Coercing students into specific classes or areas of study may lead to rooms full of disinterested, nodding-off peers, rather than the worthwhile pursuit of individual passions. The buck should stop with us, the students, rather than the University.

Modern feminism receives support from men
Kanika Kshirsagar @sneakykaniky
There is no doubt that the American society has made progress
in terms of women's rights in the past two centuries. According to the National Women's History Museum, women have been granted the right to vote, serve in the U.S. military and attend college. However, more social progress needs to be made in order to break down the barrier that continues to divide men and women. Everyone should be a feminist.
From my personal experience, when someone claims he or she is a feminist, people tend to feel like they are in the presence of someone who is angry and thinks women are better than men. Although the feminist movement is geared toward equality between the sexes, there are still those who are more extreme, but this does
not define all who identify as a feminist.
When individuals identify themselves as a feminist, they believe women should have equal opportunity in all realms, with respect to men. By acknowledging that a woman should not be judged on her gender, but on her merit, is the type of forward-thinking feminists want to push. This can also be applied to men. They, too, should be judged based off of their merit. Gender should not give anyone an advantage or disadvantage.
The Second Shift Arlie Hochschild
According to Arlte Hochschild, author of "The Second Shift," there are generally three different gender ideologies couples tend to practice in the realm of parenting and marriage: egalitarian, traditional and transitional. An egalitarian couple distributes the spheres of work and home equally. Traditional couples represent a woman spending most of her time at

home, while the male brings in the income. The transitional couple lies somewhere in between the woman working but still spending most of her time at home, while the male does household chores but his main focus is at the workplace.
According to sociologist Suzanne Bianchi, the gap between the workload of the home between women and men has been gradually getting smaller. In an August 2011 Time article titled "Chore Wars," Bianchi stated that "Men are doing a lot of child care too — an average of 53 minutes a day in 2010 for children under 18, which is almost three times as much as they did in 1965. Working women are doing an average of one hour and 10 minutes a day, which is only 17 more minutes." This is a step in the right direction.
Males and females are both a part of the modern feminist movement. Some notable
male figures are Daniel Radcliffe, John Legend, Andy Samberg and Will Smith. Recently, Ashton Kutcher began a petition on change.org advocating for changing stations in men's restrooms. These men identify themselves as feminists, yet the extremist stereotype would never be tied with their names.
If I ever have children, I do not want them to feel that they could not accomplish their goals and dreams because of their sex. My parents had those dreams for me, and I ended up studying chemical engineering, despite the lack of women in this field. It is important to acknowledge and respect the importance of equal rights, regardless of your gender.

Trevor Noah named new 'Daily Show' host

When Jon Stewart announced he'd be stepping down
be stepping down from his 16-year reign as host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," people started speculating who would replace him. Comedy Central announced Monday that Trevor Noah, one of the newest correspondents to join the show, will be the new host
ING A YOu FEE
Noah, a 31-year-old from South Africa, joined "The Daily Show" in December 2014, but according to a news release from Comedy Central, Noah made his U.S. debut in 2012 with Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" and also appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman."
BONGIWE MCHUNU/ASSOCIATED PRESS
In some of his best clips, Noah has poked fun at the lack of media attention when Boko Haram killed more than 2,000 people in Nigeria in early January, compared U.S.-Russia relations to a game of chess and joked about race relations in America and in Africa.
Despite a limited career in the U.S., Noah isn't biting off more than he can chew, as he
has hosted his own late show in South Africa, "Tonight With Trevor Noah," and has appeared in multiple magazines, the release said.
SOUTH-AFRICAN comedian Trevor Noah, who has contributed to "The Daily Show" a handful of times during the past year, will replace Jon Stewart as host. Comedy Central announced Monday.
Stewart said he's excited about the pick and even hinted he wishes he'd be around to witness the new host in action.
I'm thrilled for the show and for Trevor," Stewart said in the news release. "He's a tremendous comic and talent that we've loved working with." He added, "In fact, I may rejoin as a correspondent just to be a part of it!!!"
After Stewart announced that he was stepping down Feb. 10, questions swirled about whether a woman would break into the boy's club that is late-night television. A Newsweek article by Zach Schonfeld called for Jessica Williams, another "Daily Show" correspondent, to take over the show because, among other reasons, "She's fun — ruthlessly so, however serious the subject matter. Plus, she is a woman of color whose lived experiences help her to tackle the infuriating absurdities of racism and sexism."
Comedy Central President Michele Ganeless told The New York Times that while women were considered for the position, Noah was the perfect fit. Ganeless explained some of the reasoning behind the pick in the news release.
"He has an insightful and
unique point of view, and most importantly, is wickedly funny," Ganeless said. "For the next host of 'The Daily Show,' we set out to find a fresh voice who can speak to our audience with a keen take on the events of the day, and we found that in Trevor. He has a huge international following and is poised to explode here in America, and we are thrilled to have him
join Comedy Central."
Noah's style of humor permeates even his Twitter bio: "Comedian from South Africa. I was in the crowd when Rafiki held Simba over the edge of the cliff, like an African Michael Jackson." He tweeted Monday that, while no one can quite fill Stewart's shoes, he's excited to continue the legacy to "make this the best damn news show."
Noah is currently on his "Lost in Translation" tour. When the news broke, Noah was finishing up a leg of his tour in Dubai, and The New York Times tweeted his response Monday in morning. Noah told the Times he was in disbelief at first, joking that although he wanted a "stiff drink" he couldn't have one because he was in a region where he wasn't able to drink.
Noah said he recognizes the prominence of the position he'll take over, but with the team he's going to work with, he's looking forward to the future.
"It's an honor to follow Jon Stewart. He and the team at 'The Daily Show' have created an incredible show whose impact is felt all over the world." Noah said in the news release. "In my brief time with the show they've made me feel so welcome. I'm excited to get started and work with such a fantastic group of people."
Because of Noah's appeal in other regions, his new role may attract a more global audience. According to The Wrap, Noah brings five unique things to the show, one of which being his dashing good looks and youth. He's versatile, globally present, self-deprecating and, as Matt Donnelly writes, "He's never afraid to go there."

No narcissists: Lollapalooza, Coachella ban fans' selfie sticks
CHRISTINE ARMARIO
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — You can bring your beach towels and floral headbands, but forget that selfie stick if you're planning to go to the Coachella or Lollipaloza music festivals.
the devices, which grasp cellphones to allow people to take pictures of themselves farther away from their faces, are banned at this summer's festivals in Indio, California, and Chicago. Coachella dismissed them as "narsisstics" on a list of prohibited items.
A spokeswoman for Coachella would not comment on the restriction. Lollapalooza representatives did not return a request for comment but on the festival's Twitter account said the decision was being made "for safety, to speed security checks at the gate & to reduce the number of obstructions between the fans and the stage."
Selfie sticks have become a popular but polemical photo-taking tool: Avid picture takers like snapping their own shots in front of monuments and sunsets, but critics dismiss them as obnoxious and potentially dangerous to others around them.
In Europe, the Palace of Versailles outside Paris, Britain's National Gallery in London and the Colosseum in Rome have all banned selfie sticks, saying they need to protect exhibits on display and ensure the safety of visitors.
Coachella and Lollapalooza are among dozens of big events and landmarks taking a stand against the sticks.
In the U.S., Ultra Music Festival in Miami, one of the world's largest electronic music festivals, also prohibited selfie sticks at last weekend's event.
Wayne Fromm, creator of the Quik Pod and the first to patent the selfie stick more than a decade ago, said he understood the decision for museums and festivals to ban the stick and that the intention was never for the device to be fully extended in busy spaces.
"They will be turned away and we'll probably make fun of you," Ultra said on its Twitter account earlier this month.
"Intentionally or not, there is a danger to other people in crowded places," he told The Associated Press.
Another selfie-stick entrepreneur, Jacqueline Verdier, CEO of Selfie on a Stick, said the festivals were going too far and that the sticks can be used safely.
He added that he is at work on a new selfie-taking tool that will accomplish the same tasks without so many problems.
"People make fun of the people who use them," he said. "Taking a selfie is kind of an embarrassing thing but when you see someone who went out of their way to get equipment to take a selfie, there's an extra level of embarrassment attached."
"I think it's really doing a bit of disservice to the attendees," Verdier said. "They're not going to be able to capture the same memories."
Thomas Smith, 31, of Los Angeles, will be going to Coachella this year and said he wasn't planning to bring it into the venue because of recent backlash against the stick - even though he's used it on previous occasions and likes the sticks because of the perspective he's able to get for photos and video.
Asked about Coachella and others dubbing the self-stick as a "narsisstic." Fromm said he found the term offensive. He said people have liked to look at themselves since the beginning of time and that everyone wants to look their best.
Some concertgoers praised the decision, saying the sticks promote a culture of narcissism and detract from the festival experience. Others said they enjoy using them and lament there is so much negativity around them.
"My intention was to encourage better photos for posterity." Fromm said. "Is that narcissistic?"

working skills, and Kappen helped Chun on the soft glass side.
"He has skills I don't have, and I have skills he doesn't have, and it worked," Kappen said. "Now we're getting into a position, since there are very few opportunities to learn this stuff in the region, that we really want to focus on glassblowing learning centers."
Kappen said after years of glassmaking, their focus is on teaching students to find their own sense of creativity.
"I'm hoping to alleviate anyone's apprehensions about poking their head in to say hi or to see what it's about or taking a class to give it a try."
"When we produce students who are steeped in either one of our styles, I think it's important they learn their own visual style to progress their art." Kappen said. "We really try to push that in our students. A lot of other glass-blowing learning centers don't do that; they say, "This is how you do it." That's contrary to how we work."
Chun said they want to create an environment for people with varying levels of glassmaking experience.
"It's not just a local thing as far as where we send our product, but it is local as far as our focus on a learning
Chun said.
While the two are focused community programs, their products can be found in boutiques in Chicago, Detroit, California, New York, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.
"Watching that moment of recognition is really why I teach." Kappen said. "They're like, 'Oh, that actually worked, that's not a magic trick."
Watching students perfect their art is something Kappen said spurs his love of teaching.

Robin Williams' wife fights court for his wedding tuxedo
SUDHIN THANAWALA
Associated Press
HOLYET
SAN FRANCISCO The wife and adult children of Robin Williams agreed Monday to meet outside court to try to resolve their dispute over a tuxedo he was married in, photographs taken on his 60th birthday and other items belonging to the late actor.
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Andrew Cheng told lawyers for both sides during a hearing to meet before April 10 and enlist the help of a mediator if necessary before returning to court.
In papers filed in December, Susan Williams said the contents of the home she shared with Robin Williams should be excluded from the things the actor left his children from previous marriages.

She also claimed some of her husband's personal items were taken without her permission.
They said the belongings include clothing, watches, photos taken before his marriage to Susan Williams, and memorabilia and entertainment awards.
Attorney Jim Wagstaffe told the judge that Susan Williams has agreed with how hundreds of items should be distributed and was trying to amicably resolve problems involving others. He also said she wants their wedding presents.
In this Nov. 13, 2011 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. Attorneys for Robin Williams' wife and children are headed to court in their battle over the late comedian's estate. The attorneys are scheduled to appear before a San Francisco probate judge Monday, as they argue over who should get clothes and other personal items the actor kept at one of his Northern California homes.
"I think we can work our way through this," Waestaffe said.
Attorney Meredith Bushnell, who is representing Robin Williams' children Zachary, Zelda and Cody, said the public dispute has been excruciating for her clients.

She has asked the court to set aside the contents of the home she shared with Williams from the jewelry, memorabilia and other items Williams said the children should have.
Robin Williams died in August at his home in Tiburon in the San Francisco Bay Area. The coroner ruled his death a suicide. The actor's wife has said he struggled with depression, anxiety and a

The lawyer added that a judge might have to decide what constitutes memorabilia in the dispute.
Andrew Bassak, an attorney for trustees overseeing the estate, argued that the court does not have jurisdiction over
the dispute.
Robin Williams was an intensely private individual who gave the trustees absolute discretion over how his personal property was to be distributed, Bassak said.

Will the Royals have over or under 90 wins in 2015?
G.J. Melia
@gjmelia
OVER
The Kansas City Royals enter the 2015 Major League Baseball season coming off the magical run to the 2014 World Series, before losing to the San Francisco Giants in seven games. General Manager Dayton Moore brought in a few new faces in the offseason to add to the same core that fueled the postseason success. He and Manager Ned Yost look for more consistency this season, along with the youthful energy as last season.
Kansas City has made the most offseason additions to its pitching staff. Following starting pitcher James Shields departure, Moore signed 10-year veteran starter Edinson Volquez to a two-year deal, expecting Volquez to be a large part of the Royals starting rotation behind Danny Duffy and Yordano Ventura. With Shields leaving, Ventura will
be the No. 1 starter, with Duffy likely at No. 2.
Former Atlanta Braves starter Kris Medlen was also signed to a two-year deal. Medlen underwent his second elbow surgery in 2014, and the Royals were able to sign him to a cheaper $8.5 million deal over the two years.
With the big three of the bullpen — Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland — returning, the Royals' relief will be just as strong as 2014. Relievers Tim Collins and Jason Frasor also return to the bullpen and will contend right behind the big three.
Assuming players won't suffer major injuries are suffered, both the infield and outfield will be set for 2015. Kansas City returns the entirety of its 2014 infield, as well as outfielders Alex Gordon and Lorenzo Cain. Outfielder irarod Dyson will again be available out of the dugout for Yost, as he was also a pinch-running threat late in games last year.

The only big question for Moore, Yost and the rest of the Royals organization is how newly inked designated hitter Kendrys Morales will perform. Morales was signed in December to fill the spot of Billy Butler, who left for

place, the Royals are setting themselves up well for a successful year. If they are able have a more consistent stretch throughout the majority of the season, they should find themselves atop the American League Central. The Royals could also find themselves with a record 90 or more wins for the first time since 1989 and a second-straight year in the playoffs.

After making a Cinderella run through the playoffs last season, the Royals are back for another season, hoping for another playoff berth. The Royals will make the playoffs as a Wild Card like last season, but will not get over 90 wins.
UNDER
The Royals, a .500 level team, can easily get 80-89 wins. The American League Central is getting tougher with improvements to the Chicago White Sox, who should contend for the division title with the Detroit Tigers and the Royals.
This Royals team is different from last year's. With the departure of designated hitter Billy Butler to Oakland, the Royals need someone to fill that spot. Plus, the Royals also lost Nori Aoki, who is now with the San Francisco Giants. The Royals biggest offseason blow came with
the departure of James Shields, who signed with the San Diego Padres.
Off-Season acquisitions Alex Rios and Kendyls Morales can make an impact immediately. Rios could join Alex Gordon and Lorenzo Cain in the outfield, while Morales could be a designated hitter and could be used as a first baseman if Eric Hosmer gets injured or needs a day off.
The Royals still have one of the best back-ends of the bullpen together in Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland. The Royals will have to produce offense late in games in order to get to these three players in the bullpen and seal huge wins against quality teams in the league.
Another big question for the Royals is who will take the top pitching spot with the departure of Shields. Yoldano Ventura could possibly fill that hole. The Royals also have Danny Duffy and Jeremy Guthrie, who could give the Royals quality starts in key roles.
If the Royals can end up getting off to a good start in April but not fall apart in May, then they will have a promising season.
It does not start off easy
tor the Royals, taking on the White Sox at home for a three-game series next week. The Royals will have to focus on trying to win more divisional games because it will help them out later on in the season if they are in the running for a playoff spot in the American League.
The key to success for the Royals will be not only
"IF THE ROYALS CAN END UP GETTING OFF TO A GOOD START IN APRIL BUT NOT FALL APART IN MAY, THEN THEY WILL HAVE A PROMISING SEASON."
starting the season strong but making sure they can continue to play strong and win games well into the season.

Hendricks' shutout streak ends, Cubs top Giants

DARRON CUMMINGS/ASSOCIATED PRESS San Francisco Giants' Ryan Vogelsong throws during the first inning of a spring training game against the Chicago Cubs on March 5 in Scottsdale, Ariz. The Giants lost to the Chicago Cubs 8-5 yesterday.
MESA, Ariz. — Chicago Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks gave up his first runs against big league batter this spring after extending his scoreless streak to 12 innings in an 8-5 win against the San Francisco Giants on Monday.
Hendricks, who went 7-2 with a 2.46 ERA as a rookie, didn't allow a run in his first two exhibition outings. He threw five shutout innings against the Giants before they scored five times in the sixth.
"I feel good," he said. "I felt strong through all those innings and made a few bad pitches late. But that's part of getting that pitch count up there and I'm right where I need to be."
Joe Panik led off the Giants sixth with a home run and Daniel Carbonell had a bases-loaded, two-run double.
Giants starter Tim Hudson gave up 10 hits and four runs in 42-3 innings.
"They hit a couple of good pitches," Hudson said. "It was a work day for sure. I got in some
Hendricks went 5 1-3 innings, allowing seven hits with a walk and striking out five.

STARTING TIME
concerned about his first bad outing of the spring coming so close to the start of the season.
"I didn't make great pitches throughout the day," he said. "It's one of those things where
there wasn't a game plan, and obviously I was throwing a lot of pitches while not really understanding what some of these younger guys (in the Cubs' lineup) strengths and
weaknesses are yet."
Cubs: In addition to his three starts in the Cactus League, Hendricks had allowed three runs in 10 innings in two 'B games.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Giants: Travis Ishikawa, who was pulled from Sunday's game because of back tightness, has a sore back and is considered day-to-day. An MRI on Monday came back good according to manager Bruce Bochy, who said Ishikawa should return to the lineup on Thursday.
Cubs: Outfieldier Chris Denorfia, who has been dealing with a sore left hamstring, took batting practice on Monday. He is expected to play in a minor league game by mid-week. His availability for opening day is still to be determined.
With the demotion of top prospects Kris Bryant, Javier Baez and Addison Russell earlier in the day, the Cubs'infield outlook became a little more definitive with Mike Olt, Tommy LaStella and Arismendy Alcantara looking to break camp with the big league club.
CLEARER IMAGE
Olt would see time at third
and spell Anthony Rizzo at first base, while LaStella is expected to play third and second and Alcantara can play the outfield as well as the infield.
"Tommy has done a really good job offensively and defensively," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. "Mendy can do it also. We have different options during the course of the game. We have some things to iron out yet."
The Giants haven’t had a good spring — they fell to 9-20-1 with the loss to the Cubs and there have been struggles in nearly all facets of the game.
"The little things hurt us all day," Bochy said. "We just didn't play good fundamental ball. I bet five or six runs of those runs shouldn't have scored. Give them credit but we didn't play well at all again today."
Giants: Host Colorado as Tim Lincecum faces the Rockies' Tyler Matzek.

East Tennessee State hires WSU's basketball assistant
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — Former Wichita State men's basketball assistant Steve Forbes says he plans to build a winner at East Tennessee State by following the same formula that worked at his old school.
Forbes replaces Murry Bartow. ETSU fired Bartow on March 13 after he went 224-165 with three NCAA Tournament appearances in 12 seasons. ETSU earned the last of those NCAA invitations in 2010.
"I believe in all the things that he believes in," Forbes said. "He's given me a tremendous blueprint to bring here to East Tennessee State."
After being introduced Monday as ETSU's coach, Forbes said he was indebted to Witchita State coach Gregg Marshall and noted that they share the same philosophies.
"We want (our players) to go to the NCAA Tournament," ETSU athletic director Richard Sander said at a Monday news conference. "We want them to have an arena
ETSU went 16-14 this season and lost eight of its final 12 games, including each of the last four.
where people are yelling and screaming and just crazy for ETSU basketball. And unfortunately, that wasn't the case, and so I really wanted to go out and find somebody who could make that happen for these men, for our great fan base.
"I know we have found that person."
"You never know if this day's ever going to come," Forbes said. "Then after what I went through four years ago, to be able to come back to the state of Tennessee and be a head Division I basketball coach, to me is a surreal moment and something that I'm very proud of.
Forbes received a one-year show cause penalty from the NCAA in 2011 as part of the NCAA investigation of Tennessee that resulted in Pearl's firing. Forbes says the experience taught him that "when you make a mistake, you learn from it and don't do it again."
"I'm ready to go to work and build this program."
"It was a place I was familiar with because of my five years at Tennessee," Forbes said. "I knew there was a passionate fan base here and a tradition of basketball and people who loved basketball. It was a really, really, really good fit for me. When the opportunity came, I jumped on it."
The 50-year-old Forbes spent the past two seasons at Wichita State after going 62-6 in two seasons as the head coach at Northwest Florida State, a junior college in Niceville, Fla.
Forbes said the ETSU job appealed to him in part because of his previous connections with the area. Forbes spent five seasons working as an assistant on Bruce Pearl's Tennessee staff.
"I use myself as an example. As a coach, you always tell your players when you get knocked down, you've got to get back up and you've got to keep going. Well, I got knocked down, and I decided to dust myself off, be accountable for my involvement and then move on."
"What you do in a situation like that is you look in the mirror, you're accountable for your actions, and then you move on," Forbes said.
Forbes also has worked as an assistant at Texas A&M, Illinois State, Louisiana Tech and Idaho. Now he gets his first Division I head coaching opportunity.

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas stretches to snatch a hard grounder hit from Los Angeles Angels'
Daniel Robertson in the second inning of a spring training baseball game Saturday, March 14 in Surprise, Ariz.
ALAN ESKEW Associated Press
SURPRISE, Ariz.— Mike Moustakas hit a grand slam in a seven-run first inning as the Kansas City Royals outslugged the Texas Rangers 11-7 on Monday.
Alex Gordon, who also homered, and Eric Hosmer each had three of the Royals' 15 hits.
Rangers starter Lisalverto Bonilla retired only one of eight batters he faced before being pulled after 37 pitches. He allowed five hits, walked one, hit a batter and balked home a run.
"The inning kind of got away from Bonilla," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. "He fell behind and his pitch count got up. It was inconsistency. The home run looked like it might have been middle-middle. It's not an outing you'd want to see."
Moustakas hit a 1-2 pitch over the left field wall after Hosmer singled, Alex Rios walked and Salvador Perez was hit by a pitch.
Gordon, who was held out of early games while rehabbing from December right wrist surgery, had only three singles in 24 at-bats, entering the game.
"Obviously, I got a late start," Gordon said. "The numbers aren't great, but you turn the page every day and realize this is spring training. I want to go out there and produce and perform and when that's not happening, you've just got to come here the next day and try to figure it out.
I'm trying to do as much as I can right now with the time I have to get ready for the season," he added. "The whole point was to make the wrist feel normal again and that's what it's feeling like right now.
I think our main focus was just to come back healthy."
Adam Rosales, Leony Martin, Jake Smolinski and Ryan Rua each hit solo home runs off Royals left-hander Jason Vargas.
Rua extended his hitting streak to 10 games, while Martin went 3 for 3 and has reached base safely in 11 straight games.
"Another outing to get ready for the season," Vargas said. "Obviously, you don't want to give up four home runs. It happened."
The Rangers optioned RHP Nick Tepesch to Triple-A Round Rock a day after yielding seven runs in 3 2-3 innings to the Dodgers. Tepesch, who made 22 starts last year, had a 10.38 ERA in five outings. RHP Nick Martinez earned the final rotation slot with a 0.84 ERA in 10 2-3 innings.
STARTING TIME
TEPESCH OPTIONED
Rangers: RHP Jamey Wright is pitching his way back into bullpen consideration after throwing 2 2-3 scoreless innings. Wright, who failed to retire any of the seven Brewers he faced on March 21, has allowed three hits and no runs over 4 2-3 innings in his past two appearances. "Jamey is a known guy." Banister said. "He's probably had more multiple innings in the last few years than quite possibly any other reliever."
Royals: Vargas, who allowed five runs on seven hits in five innings, has one more exhibition start left, in Houston. Is he ready for the season? "Yeah, I ain't got no choice, right?" Vargas said. "I don't think if I wasn't ready, there would be no excuse. They give you all the time to prepare."
TRAINER'S ROOM
was scratched with lower back stiffness. RHP Tanner Scheppers had a MRI Monday on his bothersome right ankle.
Royals: OF Terrance Gore, who was a pinch runner on the postseason roster, broke his jaw when he was hit by a pitch in a minor league game.
DETWILER WORKS
Royals: RHP Jeremy Guthrie starts Tuesday against the Padres.
Rangers: SS Elvis Andrus
Left-hander Ross Detwiler, who will be in the Rangers rotation, threw 97 pitches in 61-3 innings in a minor league intrasquid game, allowing two earned runs on eight hits and a walk.
Rangers: LHP Derek Holland will face the Cubs at Surprise. In a split squad, Martinez will start against the Diamond-backs in Scottsdale.

Bauer strikes out 7, Indians rout White Sox 4-1
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Trevor Bauer struck out seven, working solidly into the seventh inning, and the Cleveland Indians connected for three home runs Monday in a 4-1 victory against the Chicago White Sox.
Bauer gave up four hits, including a home run to Tyler Flowers, in 6 1-3 innings. He fanned Melky Cabrera and Adam LaRoche three times apiece but walked his first batter of the spring, Adam Eaton.
This outing, he said, was about "trying to get into a season mindset, get guys out more so than working on stuff.
"The things that I worked on early in spring, I was able to execute today and put into use," he added.
Bauer, the Arizona Diamondbacks' first-round pick in 2011 out of UCLA, is coming off a 5-8 season with a 4.18 ERA in 26 starts for the Indians.
Noesi went 5 1-3 innings and gave up five hits, walking two and striking out five.
One area he wants to improve in was his effectiveness in the first inning. Last year he had a 5.54 ERA in the opening inning, often putting himself in an early hole.
"It's been a point of emphasis this offseason, doing some research on what was going on in the first inning," Bauer said. "It's spring training, you never know until you get into the season. So far, I'm encouraged by it. We'll see how it carries over."
Bradley Zimmer hit a two-run homer to the right field bullpen off Hector Noesi in the fourth. The homer was the first of the spring for Zimmer, an outfielder who was Cleveland's first-round pick —21st overall — in last June's draft.
veteran catcher Brett Hayes followed Zimmer's long ball with his third of the spring, a long drive over the bullpen in left.
Jerry Sands also homered for the Indians, off Zach Duke.
STARTING TIME
Indians: Bauer lowered his spring ERA to 3.90 in 22 2-3 innings. He has one start remaining before the Indians open the season in Houston.
"I thought he was really good," Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. "He's starting to get deep into the game and he's starting to mix all his pitches in now. The timing is about right."
The improved control also got Francona's attention.
"That's been great. Love that. Love when guys work quick and throw strikes," Francona said.
White Sox: Noesi, likely to be Chicago's No. 5 starter, went 5 1-3 innings and gave up five hits, walking two and striking out five.
CUTTING DOWN
The White Sox sent RHP Chris Beck to minor league camp and released pitchers J.D. Martin and Joe Savery.
The Indians sent outfielder Tyler Holt to Triple-A Columbus.
White Sox: GM Rick Hahn said before Monday's game that reliever Jake Petricka will "in all probability" begin the season on the disabled list. The White Sox think the right-hander, who has had soreness in the forearm/elbow area, could be ready as soon as he is eligible to come off the DL, which would be April 11.
"We don't foresee this being a long-term problem," Hahn said.
White Sox: Carlos Rodon makes his final start of the spring Tuesday against the Dodgers at Camelback Ranch. Last year's third overall pick is coming off a nine-strikeout, four-inning outing against Kansas City.

Indians: Veteran lefty Bruce Chen faces Felix Hernandez and the Mariners on Tuesday in Goodyear.

COMMENTARY
David Beaty is #EarningIt on Twitter
Amie Just
@Amie Just
Some coaches don't understand social media websites, like
Twitter, whats in it Other coaches, like Kansas' David Beaty, are dominating the digital front by using new hashtags for the football program and tweeting videos and photos from practice.
Beaty, @beaty_david on Twitter, incorporated #Earnlt and #PlayersoftheDay in his tweets.
The #Earnit hashtag, in relation to KU football, first showed up in a tweet from the Kansas Football account March 23, the day before spring practices began.
Just one day later, Beaty used the hashtag in a tweet wishing good luck to the players participating in Pro Day.
Where does the hashtag come from? At this point in time, Beaty hasn't said anything publicly about the hashtag specifically, but said "Championships are won in weight rooms, on football fields and in meeting rooms. We win by outworking folks and having a work ethic that is second to none," in a video that Kansas Athletics posted to YouTube on March 10, titled "A Movement Has Started."
He also told the Lawrence Journal-World that "there's gonna be a high premium on ourselves. The way we're going to get better faster is by being the most disciplined team in the country and being a smart football team."
Beaty said in that same interview that he wants his players to love the game and to be consistent.
On the first day of practice, Ben Johnson, T.J. Semke, Jordan ShelleySmith and Ronnie Davis garnered the "award."
After practice, Beaty tweets photos of three to four players who earned #PlayersoftheDay shoutouts
It may not be much to the standard fan,but it shows the players,especially the underclassmen, that the coaching staff is watching them, when in the past, their hard work might have flown under the radar.
In contrast, Charlie Weis,
Kansas' last head coach who
was fired in October, still
has Jayhawks all over his
Twitter and still retains the
@CoachWeisKansas Twitter
handle. He last tweeted on
Aug. 6.
On Saturday, Beaty called out Tré Parmalee, Fish Smithson and Davis for #PlayersoftheDay.
In an age where social media is at the forefront of everything, Beatty knows exactly what he's doing. And he's doing a great job with it.

Soccer to face defending NWSL champs
GRIFFIN HUGHES
@KansanSports
It's not every day a college team can say it has played against professionals, and seldom are those professionals the defending league champions.
The Kansas women's soccer team will take on the National Women Soccer League's FC Kansas City today at Rock Chalk Park, FC Kansas City won the NWSL League Trophy last year.
The match is the third rendition of the annual exhibition on the road to both teams' regular seasons. FC Kansas City outscored the Jayhawks 4-0 in 2013 and 3-1 last year, although it's not the worst thing in the world for the Jayhawks to say they have been beaten by professionals.
Junior Liana Salazar shoots the ball from inside the goalbox.
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
Kansas is coming off a 1-0 win against Iowa to begin
21
tneir spring exhibition schedule after a 15-6 season that led the Jayhawks to an NCAA Tournament in the fall. Freshman Eli Mayr scored the game winner in the 70th minute of that contest, giving the Jayhawks their first win in their first spring game. The young German prospect showed off both exceptional footwork and vision in the effort that lifted Kansas to a 1-0 start.
Kansas coaches are more concerned with improved offensive production in these spring games. Kansas scored 1.67 goals per game while allowing 8, meaning they outscored opponents by nearly one goal per game. However, when it mattered most, the Jayhawks couldn't draw up that offense — they scored just one goal in last year's NCAA Tournament game.
Their offense will certainly
be tested against FC Kansas City, who allowed just 32 goals last year, third fewest in the NWSL. Kansas City also assisted on 30 of their 39 goals. The Jayhawks assisted on 25 of their 35 goals — a lower percentage than that of FC Kansas City.
Kansas fed most of its offense through the Colombian superstar midfielder Liana Salazar last year. Salazar scored 13 of the team's 35 goals: no other Jayhawk had more than seven. The midfelder also had four assists, good for second on the team behind senior Ali Kimura.
One of the main issues for Kansas last year was production from strikers. Forwards scored 15 goals on the year. Three of those strikers are also seniors who won't be around next year. This is why coach Mark Francis is giving his younger
players the chance to score early in the spring season, including the freshman Mayr, who will be a crucial offensive weapon in the match against FC Kansas City.
The Jayhawk backline will have to contend with Kansas City striker Amy Rodriguez, who finished second in the
NWSL with 13 scores in 22 games.
Autograph signings and pictures will follow the game at Rock Chalk Park. Fans can also take a picture with FC Kansas City's 2014 NWSL League Trophy.

Search for new women's basketball coach begins

According to Jeff Carmody, a coaching consultant, the Kansas women's basketball team should look at four different candidates. Carmody, who worked for KU Assistant Director Student Housing Custodial Services for 25 years and retired in 2012, has been doing research on his own and has helped with multiple coaching searches around the country.

There are several apartments in the Lawrence market, but there is one that stands out from the rest. The Hawks Pointe Management team is unlike any other property management team in Lawrence, KS. They have taken significant steps to make Hawks Pointe more resident focused while improving facilities. There is an understanding that the place where you live needs to be more than just a place where you eat and sleep, it needs to be about your education experience; hence, your reasons for being at KU.
Lead by their General Manager, Tadros "Teddy" Abdelmalek (top left), he strives to use his student affairs experience toward supporting and understanding what his residents need. He works daily to support his staff and his residents through any obstacles that the day may bring.
Account Manager, Molly Edwards (bottom left), is responsible for account receivables and payables. She plays a vital role in the collection of rent. Molly also strives to work with the residents to ensure a dialogue is present in the rent collection process as she works to support them through challenges that may arise in life.
Elodia Terrazas (bottom right), a Senior Leasing Specialist, supports the office from a leasing and marketing role. Her leasing experience and connection with the residents plays an energetic role into making the office a fun place.
Hannah Sybert (top right), a Senior Leasing Specialist, supports the office from an operations role ensuring that your preferences and your needs are met when you lease with Hawks Pointe.
Devan Schaly (middle right), the newest member of the Leasing Specialist team, brings her experience with organizations and programming of KU to the Hawks Pointe team. Her
outgoing personality allows for successful outreach marketing.
Two other important people are Brent Cobb and Greg Hamill. Brent is Hawks Pointe's Facilities Manager bringing 27+ years of maintenance experience to the table and ensures that everyone's apartment is in good working order. His right hand man, Greg Hamill, supports the team by certifying that concerns are dealt with proactively and that quarterly inspections are handled for the property.
This team showcases a diverse group of employees that bring out the best qualities that can be established in an management team.

HOW DID YOU GET STARTED
IN DESIGN?
H
Well, I grew up in Dodge City, Kan. From really early on, like age 11 or 12, I really wanted to be an architect. Because I'm an only child I guess, all of our family, vacations were based on Frank Lloyd Wright houses because that was the only architect that they knew of. It became this really great experience of traveling and visiting real architecture. So I went to Kansas State to study architecture. Kind of in the middle of architecture school, I realized that I loved everything about school, but it wasn't what I really
wanted to do. I loved all the other parts like doing posters and books and doing all the other models. Then I realized that graphic design and art directing was what I was really interested in. So after K-State, I moved to New York City. After several years of working for various design firms, I made contact with the Annie Leibovitz Studio."

"One thing is, hopefully, teaching by example. Like follow your dreams and push yourself to do the best thing you can do, even if that thing might seem super crazy. Find the people you want to work with. Find the cities you want to live in. But then also be flexible enough. There's going to be your dreams, but then there's also going to be those paths that come along and be willing to take them and be willing to change your goals."
W WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DESIGN?
Well, I love doing books. I love working with museums, artists and photographers. Last spring, I did a
book for the Nelson-Atkins Museum that was about their anniversary of their sculpture garden, and it was about the new Robert Morris glass labyrinth. The book is made out of the glass panels, and then it has this bronze cap on the top of it. It's really exciting and really neat. The projects that have been the best are the ones when you are working with a group of people that are very confident and who are excited about what they are doing. Also the time schedule was super fast, and I like working on those faster quicker projects because I feel like [with] the longer ones, you are just kind of spinning your wheels for too long.

"I have two daughters, so in the morning we're always rushing around to get breakfast and get them ready for school. My wife also teaches here at KU. So some mornings I am teaching, so she is getting the kids ready for school, and sometimes she is teaching, so I am the one to do it. And then there's teaching. The design classes are studio classes, and they are three-hour blocks. I love teaching that way because I love getting to know my students and having one-on-one communication with them. When I am not teaching, I am working on other projects. Right now I am working on a guidebook for Havana. Cuba. So it feels like all my time outside of class right now is trying to figure out what that is going to be and doing research and reading and looking. Feels like most of my day

WHAT IS THE MAIN THING YOU WANT YOUR STUDENTS TO TAKE AWAY FROM ALL OF YOUR CLASSES?
Like if you're a photographer, look at other photographers and know the history of photography, but also look at art, look at culture, look at films. Even everyday kind of stuff that normal people wouldn't be looking at. What that will do is enrich your ideas, and that will give you a different point of view that anyone else has."
I just hope that I teach to look and look and look as a designer and photographer because you're making stuff. You're creating and developing things so you need to look and be inspired by things maybe you're not even studying.

"What defines your Jewishness has nothing to do with your level of practice, your affiliation, how you label yourself—it is simply the fact that you are part of the Jewish family," Tiechtel said.
Born and raised alongside 12 siblings in Brooklyn, N.Y., Tiechtel experienced major culture shock when he, his wife and his firstborn daughter, Mina, moved to Lawrence 9 years ago. "I remember the first time I saw what happens at a four-way stop sign in Kansas," he said. "In New York, it doesn't work, because everyone would try to go first; in Kansas, everybody's waiting for you to go first. That is something [that] I really appreciate."

Tiechtel said he learned of the University's need when he met a rabbi from Kansas City "by divine providence." Listen to Tiechtel share the
story of how he came to Lawrence in the online version of this article.
"I had this dream of moving anywhere — it made no difference to me where — where there was potential to contribute to the community," he said.
Tiechtel and his family "fell in love" with Lawrence and signed a lease on the spot when they stumbled upon a duplex near campus. He said at that point they didn't even realize it was a prime location for students.

JAMES A. MEYER
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel's family consists of his wife, Nechama, and his seven children. He has four daughters and three sons, who range in age from 4 months old to 9 years old.
Campanile holds a special place in the hearts of KU students, especially those graduating.
"I've never walked straight through the Campanile," said Sean Marlow, a junior from Overland Park. "I've always
Two months later, the students who lived on the other side of the duplex moved out and the Tiechtels leased the other side. The Chabad Center's popularity grew, and in 2008 the family purchased the property.
The Chabad Center, 1201 W. 19th St., offers Jewish students Shabbat dinner every week. At the first dinner in March 2006, the Tiechtels welcomed just a handful; now, an average of 50 to 80 students attend each week.
"The only mistake we made is that we underestimated the potential for success," he said.
His family has grown as well; he is a proud father of four daughters and three sons, ranging in age from 4 months to 9 years. He also calls himself a "proud Jewhawk."
Tiechtel said his daily schedule varies, which he likes. Some days he visits hospitals and prisons, and he is in charge of fundraising for the Chabad Center. He often talks to concerned parents of students at the University. He frequently meets with students for personal talks or to plan events, which is a major part of the Chabad Center's purpose.
"The biggest obstacle for growth for college students today is stigma, and we are here to rewrite the experience," he said.
Despite his honest smile, life is not always easy for Tiechtel and his

extended family. In 2008, he lost a fellow rabbi and childhood friend from his neighborhood in Brooklyn. The friend and his wife were killed in a terrorist attack at their Chabad house in Mumbai, India.
Last April, a shooting at the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park shook the Jewish community. "The J," as its attendees call it, is
where three of Tiechtel's children attend school.
Tiechtel said in times of challenge, what drives you will determine how you move forward.
"The only way we were able to overcome that hardship in 2008 was by remembering why we're here," Tiechtel said. "If you focus on the purpose and the mission, you win. You keep on going."

+ WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Jewish names have historically varied over the centuries and encompass many different traditions. In ancient societies, these names often held spiritual significance. It is estimated that a majority of 2,800 names found in the Torah convey a particular meaning.
In 2011, Tiechtel worked to establish Kosher Korner at Allen Fieldhouse which he said is the first kosher deli in a college athletic facility in the country.
MEANINGS OF RABBI TIECHTEL'S KIDS' NAMES:
Mendel: "Humble Man"

For Dombroski, the inability to sleep in the mornings before dance workouts is typical.
Dombroski is a junior from Lakewood, Colo., and a member of the Rock Chalk Dancers.
"On the days that I have workouts, I'm usually waking up anxious every hour," she said.
Dombroski is a journalism major studying strategic communications and is minoring in creative writing. She has spent the past three years on the University's dance team.
Dombroski jugles dance, school work and classes, and is a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.
"I make it work," Dombroski said. "You have to sacrifice sleep sometimes, but I'm the type of person that needs to be staying busy."
Growing up in Colorado, most of Dombroski's high school friends attended local schools like the University of Colorado. She wanted to get away from home and start a new chapter.
Dombroski came to visit Kansas during the final Kansas-Missouri basketball game in 2012. Following the victory, she and her father rushed to Massachusetts Street to see
students and Kansas fans celebrating.
"My dad looked at me and said, 'This is where you're going,' " Dombroski said. "I fell in love with the campus, the tradition, everything."
The dance team plays a large role in the University's tradition, and it has a big presence at sports events throughout the year.
Dancing at basketball games will always be some of Kiley's most cherished memories, from building relationships with the other dancers to getting to lead fans in the Rock Chalk chant on one of the most famous basketball courts in America.
"It's the best, most unreal feeling, standing out on the court doing the Rock Chalk chant," Dombroski said. "It gives me goosebumps every time. It's something only a few people will experience in their lives."
The Rock Chalk Dancers serve as University ambassadors and have a lot of responsibility to keep up a public image. Dombroski and her team run camps for children and make public appearances.
With the hectic schedule of a dancer, things are often subject to change.
"We have a motto on the team," Dombroski said. "It's 'cope and adjust.' We
say 'OK, reset and go on with whatever you have to do.' "
Dombroski and the rest of the Rock Chalk Dancers have developed bonds that are as strong as familial ties. Dombroski attended a former dancer's wedding this past summer with close to 30 other dancers.
"I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CAMPUS, THE TRADITION, EVERYTHING."
— KILEY DOMBROSKI
Seeing seniors at the center of the court on their senior night is always an emotional experience, Dombroski said. For her, this year's senior night meant she is one year closer to her last game dancing at the Fieldhouse.
"They're going to have to drag me off the court crying," Dombroski said. "It'll be hard to get me out of Allen [Fieldhouse]."
After her senior night next fall, Dombroski hopes to graduate the following May and start another chapter in her life in sports marketing. She said she hopes to stay
around the University and live in Lawrence for a little while.
Dombroski said she has loved every moment she has spent dancing for Kansas but does not see that as a part of her life after graduation.
"A lot of girls try out for the Chiefs or Broncos," she said. "But I don't really think that's for me."
Next year will be her last year waking up at 5:15 a.m. for workouts and her last year making public appearances and posing for pictures with little kids. It will be her last year dancing on the sidelines of Memorial Stadium and her final season leading 16,300 people in the Rock Chalk chant from the court of Allen Fieldhouse.
But it won't be the last time she practices the traditions of being a Jayhawk and spends time with her teammates, and it won't be the last time she gets goosebumps inside Allen Fieldhouse.
"I've learned so much about life from being a Rock Chalk Dancer," Dombroski said. "And to know that the way we do things is the same as we've always done it at a school that is so rich in tradition and basketball history is really special."

"I started baking when I was working on an experiment I couldn't get down," Kong said. "I was frustrated with it because I couldn't get it to work. During this time, I gained my appreciation for [baking] because so much of chemistry and experiments go into baking."
However, baking is just Kong's hobby to help him unwind, following a day of working on a large variety of activities.
Kong conducts pharmaceutical research in two labs on campus, is the business director and a member of Genuine Imitation A Cappella, and the 4P pharmacy class president.

How does Kong manage to have time for each of these organizations and activities?
"Not well, Kong said jokingly.
However, Kong said he thinks he has done a "pretty good job of making sure everything goes smooth so far."
For Kong, being involved with so many organizations on campus is less about building a resume and more about pursuing his passions.
"I'm involved in a lot of things, but what's cool about that is I'm involved in so much because I really do care about every activity I've committed to," Kong said.
Luckily, Kong's passions are less about physical ability and more about brainpower. Looking to the future, Kong said he thinks
While it may seem like Kong does it all, he does tend to avoid certain types of activities.
"Pretty much anything that requires physical coordination and gracefulness," Kong said.

"I hope to work at a university where I can research and teach," Kong said. "It's hard to pinpoint a certain topic, especially since I know that I have so many more professors to work with in the future and areas to discover, but it will be in some way related to drug development. [Being involved] has helped me to become a more well-rounded person. For me, it's never really been about boosting my résumé so much as doing the things that I legitimately enjoy."

But, for now, Kong is encouraging younger students to pursue their own passions.
"A lot of the time, when I meet with these
prospective students, they talk about how they're really passionate about a sport or their religion or music, but they don't know if they can manage it on top of their studies," Kong said. "And what I like to tell them is to not let their passions die, because even though you're switching to college and have these preconceived notions about what college will be like, it's really a shame to let these passions go."
Kong, who said he finds that everything he has been involved with at the University has truly shaped him into the person he is now, really encourages others to do the same.
"All of these experiences that I have had have become part of who I am," Kong said. "All of these things come together and having something to be passionate about, whether it be one thing or several, has been a really defining moment in my KU experience and I feel like it should be in others as well."

Graduation ceremony to be moved elsewhere after crack found in Campanile infrastructure

Starting next week the Campanile will undergo construction that will likely last until mid-summer

Like those of his native country, the Gambia graduate architecture student Bakary Suso always has a smile on his face.

"The Gambia may be the poorest in the world, but one thing I know about them is their resilience," Suso said. "You can see somebody who doesn't have much, but they're always smiling. That makes me really want to do a lot of things because people smile no matter what [in the Gambia.] And that lights a fire to keep me going."
Suso, the founder of the nonprofit KINititative, is currently working to bring affordable and sustainable health care centers to the African country of the Gambia. The nonprofit aims to bring community centers like health clinics and playgrounds to rural areas of the country, as well as employment and empowerment for residents.
Suso, who lived in the Gambia until he was 18, founded KINitivaie as a response to his experiences in the country. Growing up, Suso lacked a public playground; he and his friends played in the streets — the same streets through which traffic ran every day.
"Growing up, I didn't have that protected space," he said. "Granted, growing up, we were able to be kids and run wild, and we were given that playtime. But we were not in a protected area."
Suso's main focus in founding KINiative was to create those spaces for the people of the Gambia. He wants to build playgrounds that also double as youth centers.
"Last time I was in the Gambia to do my research, in terms of playgrounds, we only had two public playgrounds for 1.8 million people," he said. "So, I think this is something that I will pursue eventually, but through architecture, I'm trying to see how I can help not just Gambia, but Africa as a whole."
Currently, KINit initiative is in the process of building and designing a Reproductive Child Health (RCH) center for communities in the Gambia. Suso said this project came out of his recent visit to the Gambia, where he saw the lack of available health services for people in rural areas.
The healthcare system of Gambia is divided into three sectors: hospitals, health centers and RCH centers. The 280 RCH centers are located in rural areas of the country without access to other health care.
Suso said two health care providers visit each RCH center once a month to cater to women in need of prenatal care and children under five. The conditions are far from ideal.
The new design aims to make the centers as sustainable and affordable as possible. While concrete is the usual construction material in the Gambia, it is too expensive to maintain for the poor living in rural areas. Suso said
Suso and KINitative recently presented their proposals for a new RCH design to government officials in the Gambia. At this point, KINitative's design will be the new standard for RCH centers in the country.
"The spaces they go to sometimes are almost falling apart," he said. "Some of them are pretty much nonexistent. Some of them have a nurse assistant sitting under a tree, and there's a long line. One of them was so bad, it had animal feces all over the floor. Some women actually have their children in these places. As soon as I saw that, I knew this takes more of my attention."
In addition, the new design will provide a community space when it's not in use as a health center. Because parts of the Gambia can lack accessible electricity, Suso wants the centers to have an area for children to work on homework. A playground will also be built around the structure.
"I talk to [the community] about the ideas and what these spaces should look like," he said. "It's not me just imposing my ideas but listening to them. We can design together. Our goal of KINitiatives is to involve communities in this design process. We want to empower them."
a bag of cement can cost $10, while the typical monthly salary for a Gambian in this area is $30.
"GROWING UP, I DIDN'T HAVE THAT PROTECTED SPACE. GRANTED. GROWING UP, WE WERE ABLE TO BE KIDS AND RUN WILD, AND WE WERE GIVEN THAT PLAYTIME. BUT WE WERE NOT IN A PROTECTED AREA."
BAKARY SUSO
KINitiative comprises several University students and alumni, with several professors acting as advisors. Eddy Tavio, an architecture student who graduated with his master's degree in 2012, is Suso's co-founder.
"We want to talk about solutions." Tavio said. "We want to be perceived as an organization that provides support."
Tavio, a native of Venezuela, shares Suos's desire to empower the communities KIN initiative serves, not to just impose their own ideas.
to be perceived as an organization that provides support." When Suso graduates in May, he looks forward to continuing with KINitiative. He will continue to oversee the design and construction of his first RCH center in the Gambia this semester — he anticipates sending the final designs at the end of April and receiving the estimated cost for the building. After that, the fundraising process begins.
“Students don't know the power they have,” he said. “I wish I thought about this three years ago rather than just last year because as a student, people are willing to help. People are really willing to listen to you because they see themselves in you, or they see themselves and something they wish they could do. It is good for students to really take leadership roles and be passionate about something. Students have more power than they know they have.”
Suso said he is extremely thankful for the opportunity that the University has provided. Coming to study in the United States from the Gambia has given him an even greater appreciation for education than he had in the Gambia.

WHAT'S CRACKIN'
Graduation ceremony to be moved elsewhere after crack found in Campanile infrastructure
WINNIFRED BEATRICE
@WinnieTheBae27
Starting next week the Campanile will undergo construction that will likely last until midwinter.
GET TO KNOW BRADLEY VONADA
FAVORITE THING ABOUT HARRY POTTER:
Quidditch
Editor's note: Didn't see that one coming
Haag
Campanile holds a special place in the hearts of KU students, especially those graduating.
FAVORITE HARRY POTTER MOVIE:
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"
FAVORITE HARRY POTTER CHARACTER:
Sirius Black
Editor's note: Didn't see that one coming.
"I've never walked straight through the Campanile," said Sean Marlow, a junior from Owland Park.
FAVORITE CITY HE'S TRAVELED TO FOR A TOURNAMENT: Kissimmee, Fla.
FAVORITE HARRY POTTER SCENE: Wizard's Chess in "Sorcerer's Stone"
FAVORITE HARRY POTTER HOUSE:
Gryffindor
This is Vonada's third year playing the sport inspired by the popular "Harry Potter" book series. Looking to join a club at the student fair in Fall 2011, Vonada
spotted the Quidditch club table. He enjoys playing sports, and he likes Harry Potter, so the choice to join wasn't a difficult one.
"I thought, 'Let's try something new,' " Vonada said. "'Let's try something that not every kid says they played growing up.'"
LIFE ON THE PITCH
Vonada said a typical week for him includes three practices that last about two hours each. Practices include a warmup, stretches, position drills and usually conclude with a short scrimmage. The team practices at Robinson Field off Sumyneis Avenue.
Kansas has competed in three tournaments and a head-to-head matchup this season. Depending on the size of the tournament, Vonanda said he has played in as many as six matches in a single day and as many as 10 in a two-day span. A typical Quidditch match lasts about 25 minutes, but Vonanda said one can last as long as an hour and a half.
"If the temperature was anywhere in the 20s or above, we were practicing because we needed to get used to what it would be like," Vonada said.
As an outdoor sport, the team doesn't always play in ideal conditions. Vonada said the temperature for one tournament bottomed out at 26 degrees.
To stay in shape on off-days, Vonada spends a lot of time at Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. He said players are responsible
for conditioning on their own, as practices are mainly devoted to enhancing skills and simulating game situations.
Vonada needs that conditioning as a chaser, which is the position responsible for scoring by throwing the quaffle, or in Muggle terms a volleyball, through one of three hoops.
SENIOR YEAR SUCCESS
"I like the chaser position because it's a lot more pass-oriented and it's a very offensive position," Vonada said. "I've always enjoyed the teamwork aspect."
With a 14-2 record this season, Kansas Quidditch is currently ranked No. 13 in the country, according to the US Quidditch organization. Vonada said the team peaked at No. 2 earlier in the season behind the University of Maryland.
In October, Kansas finished first in the Kansas Cup, where it went 4-0 and defeated the University of Minnesota in the championship. The team also finished in second place at the Cowboy Cup tournament in Stillwater, Okla., later that month.
The team is now preparing for the Quidditch World Cup, which Vonada said is the March Madness of Quidditch. The tournament will be in Rock Hill, S.C., on April 11-12, where 80 teams and 1,600 players will compete for the Quidditch Cup. The University of Texas took home the cup in 2014.
HIS BEST QUIDDITCH MOMENT
Two years ago, that setting provided Vonada with what he said is his "best time at KU".
Up against a heavily favored Baylor squad that had been ranked No.1 in the country
Kansas pulled off the upset by snagging the snitch to end the match with a narrow 10-point victory in front of hundreds of spectators.
"All the writers had us getting slaughtered," Vonada said. "But we kept them close throughout the game and eventually pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Quidditch at the time."
That momentum carried to the next round against a Marquette team that took first place at the Midwest Regional Championship that season. Kansas again caught the snitch to claim the match and advance in the tournament. The team ended up making the Elite Eight, losing to UCLA.
MAKEUP OF THE QUIDDITCH TEAM
Kansas' team consists of 41 players: 29 men and 12 women.
Vonada said a lot of players on the team played sports in high school, but the team also includes people who hadn't competed athletically before college.
"[Those players] are outstanding for having never played sports," Vonada said. "They're taking some of our top spots."
In addition to the 41 players on the team, Vonada said other students will occasionally practice with the team to try out the sport. He said you don't have to travel with the team to participate.
"That's something we encourage," Vonada said. "We want to spread the sport, and we want everyone to have fun and try something new."
Not everyone on the team is a Harry Potter fanatic, but a good portion of the team likes
to stick to its roots, Vonada said. The team's captain, senior Kate Cooley from Topeka, owns a Christmas tree covered in Harry Potter ornaments, complete with a Sorting Hat at the top.
ROLE AS VICE PRESIDENT
As vice president of the club, Vonada assists the president with tasks like deciding which tournaments to compete in, planning trips and planning how to fund them.
The club primarily relies on merchandise sales to help fund its trips to tournaments. It sells items like T-shirts, jerseys and sunglasses.
Vonada also helps to promote the sport on campus and in the community. He organizes appearances at University fairs and local elementary and high schools. He also wears his Kansas Quidditch jersey on campus, sparking conversations with strangers who are interested in the club.
FUTURE OF QUIDDITCH
Vonada said the sport has continued to grow in popularity nationwide, noting the recent creation of Major League Quidditch, a national league composed of teams from Boston, New York, Washington D.C., Cleveland, Rochester, Indianapolis, Detroit and Ottawa.
When Vonada sees the "Harry Potter" characters playing Quidditch in the movies, he wonders if the sport will evolve to the point where it can be played with flying brooms and a floating snitch.
"Maybe we could be the next sport on TV",
Vonada said. "In 20 years, I could definitely see Quidditch becoming a big deal."
LET'S PLAY QUIDDITCH
CHASER
Advances the quaffle (volleyball) down the field by carrying, passing or kicking it. Chasers score goals worth 10 points each by throwing them through goal hoops. Each team has three chasers.
BEATERS
Disrupt the flow of the game by throwing dodgeballs called bludgers at players to knock them out. The player hit with the ball is out of play until they touch the team's own goals. Each team has two beaters.
EASTERN CAPITAL OF RUSSIA
KEEPER
Defends the goal hoops. Each team has one keeper
SEEKER

Keon Stowers woke up in his apartment at Jayhawker Towers and glanced at
the clock. He hustled out of bed, grabbed his things and sprinted to practice as fast as a 6-foot-2, 224-pound defensive lineman can.
Stowers has been fighting against the clock his whole life. In high school, when Stowers decided he wanted play football, his grades

After high school, he spent two years at Georgia Military College, where he earned his associate degree
and caught the eye of multiple Division I colleges. At Georgia Military he was given a rigid schedule.

"One thing I did take from there was being on time," Stowers said. "I was late to one workout ever here at KU, my three years here. Everything else, I've never been late, never missed anything, always been on time.

her."
Stowers didn't meet Baker's family from South Carolina until the two had been dating for a year. Stowers was a senior and finally had his act together, but Baker, who is white, wasn't sure if her parents would accept Stowers because he is black.
But when Stowers went away to Georgia Military, Baker knew she had to tell her parents something. The next weekend, when he was back in Rock Hill, Baker's dad, Anderson, told Stowers to get into his truck for a ride.
"I knew my dad wasn't going to go for that," she said.
"He did say that," Stowers interrupted, laughing. "With a shotgun in the back of the truck."
"He went and told him, 'I'll kill you if you hurt her,'" Baker said.
MOVING FORWARD
But after seeing Stowers, Anderson, who died last year, wanted more information about the kid who was dating his daughter.
"He was trying to find something bad about him, but nobody could say anything bad," Baker said.
Since Stowers didn't have a home in Rock Hill when his mom was in prison, Baker's home became his own when he was in town. But his family from his hometown — eight brothers and one stepsister — are still struggling, for the most part.
"I'm onto bigger and better things and making a life with my family now, and they're still there," Stowers said.
Stowers' past has influenced his outlook on life.
"You can be successful in what you do and what you
love," Stowers said. "Keep going. Keep trying. Don't let anybody tell you that you can't do it, or don't let one incident mess up everything else that you're trying to do."
Stowers' name isn't expected to be called in the upcoming NFL Draft, though he'll be highly sought after; he's expected to be a priority undrafted free agent.
When he gets the call from a team,he'll send his dad an email or pick up a phone and call him,as he does almost every week. And he might pay per minute to talk to his mom in a state penitentiary.

After he injured his pectoral muscle on Pro Day, he said he realized how fleeting a career in football can be. And he doesn't want to be late preparing for his future.
"Now I've got to start prepping my little guy to get up there and to be a Jayhawk," he said.
"If I have to get the surgery and I'm unable to get picked up by a team this year, I'm going to probably retire from football," Stowers said. "I have a family, and a life to attend to. You can't spend it chasing a silly dream. You have to enjoy it when you're in it, but once you're out, you're out."

Sophomore journalism student juggles softball Senate and a sorority
The sophomore journalism student does much more than take classes and return home. She is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, is a student senator and plays Division I softball for the University,
Sophia Templin's multi-colored, floral-patterned planer has seen better days.
The rings of its spine have started to bend in multiple directions; the corners are starting to wear. The gold, glitter stickers that spell Theta on the bottom righthand corner are peeling at the edges.

Templin's planner goes everywhere with her. It's her lifeline. Without it, her life would fall into complete chaos.
"My freshman year, my first semester, I was just a student-athlete, and I had never been just a student-athlete," Templin said. "I had never solely identified with athletics as who I was. In my first fall semester, all my friends had rushed sororities and were getting involved with things like SUA and being involved on campus doing new things, and I was just a softball player."

in a small town located between Lawrence and Kansas City. There were around 160 students in her graduating class, and Templin did everything she could to stay involved. She was editor of the school newspaper, a class officer, a softball player, in the band and on the dance team. She was also in charge of planning prom.
She attended De Soto High School, a 4A school.
Templin acknowledges that playing softball is a huge time commitment, but it wasn't enough for her. She needed more on her plate, just like she did in high school.
"There's kind of like a hierarchy and everybody is really understanding of things." Templin said. "I wish I could be everywhere at once, but I can't. A lot of times, I'll be on the road for softball and I'll be on a Google doc with people for Senate or group projects for class. My groups hate me because I'm so busy."
She has sorority chapter meetings when she's on the road for softball. Senate still meets on Wednesdays, with or without her.
"I've never settled," Templin said of her long list of activities. "I've never wanted to be just one thing, because I've always wanted to do everything, and I've always been able to make it work."
Conflicts arise all the time for Templin.

And everything gets harder during softball season because of travel.
ALI DUVER/KANSAN sophia Templin, a sophomore from De Soto, offers some ideas for a student coalition at a Student Senate meeting.
Large blocks of time are blacked out when on the road, Templin said.
"Offseason is something that you don't realize is as wonderful as it is until you're during the season," Templein said. "You think, 'What did I do with all that time?' "
Whatever problem or project is thrown her way, she generally ends up fitting everything in.
"Sometimes it baffles me at the end, because I made it all work." Templin said. Greek life, athletics and Student Senate are three things that most people only pick one to participate
in, Templin said.
But if she had to pick one thing, shed be a student over everything.
"I'm at KU because I love KU," Templin said. "I love the journalism school here. That is invaluable to me."
It may not be much to the standard fan,but it shows the players, especially the underclassman, that the coaching staff is watching them,when in the past, their hard work might have flown under the radar.

WHAT'S CRACKIN'
Graduation ceremony to be moved elsewhere after crack found in Campanile infrastructure

Students celebrate after walking through the Campanile during last year's commencement ceremony. The University announced that the Campanile will undergo construction starting next week that will affect this year's graduation, moving the ceremony to a different location that has not yet been decided upon.
WINNIFRED BEATRICE
@WinnieTheBae27
Starting next week the Campanile will undergo construction that will likely last until mid-summer.
"We noticed that the floors were a little more creaky than usual so we decided to tell our professor," Hobbes said. "They told us they inspected it and found cracks in the foundation. It was scary. What if the whole thing had collapsed while I was practicing my Chopsticks'?"
Shelby Hobbes, a junior from Overland Park, is currently enrolled in the carillon class at the University, for which she routinely practices the Campanile bells for all of campus to hear.
The reinforced concrete that holds up the 64-year-old memorial has cracked under the weight of its 53 bells, the largest of which weighs seven tons. The Campanile was just renovated in 1996, however construction workers deem the property to be too dangerous for students to walk under during this year's graduation ceremony.
Originally built in 1961 as a memorial to World War II, the
Campanile holds a special place in the hearts of KU students, especially those graduating.
"The timing of the construction is unfortunate," said Carol Smith, the director of facilities at the University. "Obviously the Campanile is a huge part of KU graduation tradition. But really what's at stake here is the safety of our students, and that's not something we want to compromise."
Construction will begin April 8 and is set to last until July. The dozens of large bells will need to be removed and stored at the School of Music while construction can take place on the memorial.
"I've never walked straight through the Campanile," said Sean Marlow, a junior from Overland Park. "I've always heard that if you do you won't graduate on time."
"I don't care if I walk through it or not. It's just a stupid myth. I walked through it my freshman year and I'm fine," said Nik Jackson, a sixth-year senior from Cleveland, Ohio.
"Honestly? I'm pissed," Jackson said. "It's part of KU tradition. What are we going to do instead? Streak through campus and into the stadium? Wait, that's not a bad idea."
But with construction set to start soon, the odds of Jackson, and all other soon-to-be graduates, walking through the Campanile at commencement are slim to none.
While many students agree with Jackson's sentiments, there are others who don't seem bothered by the closure of the memorial.
Until estimates can be made, the Campanile will remain taped off, denying access to all students hoping to cap off their time at the University.
Smith said University officials are currently in talks of how to circumvent the closed memorial for commencement.
"We've been tossing up a few ideas of how to make graduation special," Smith said. "I won't say for sure what's going to happen, but right now we're considering the possibility of walking through campus and ending at the Lawrence High School stadium. That way students still get the feel of a journey and a new beginning."
KU Dining to stop serving popular Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Wraps
CHANDLER BING
@PimpinAintEasy_92
In an effort to improve health campus-wide, KU Dining announced Tuesday it will no longer serve Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Wraps at the University beginning next fall.
Provost Jeffrey Vitter said he knows students will be upset after this announcement, and believes it is the right thing to do for the long-term health of the community.
According to myfitnesspal. com, the Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Wrap contains 776 calories, which is more than one-third of the daily recommendation of 2,000, according to the Mayo Clinic. It also contains more than 70 percent of the daily recommended consumption of cholesterol and sodium.
"Students will thank me later," Vitter said. "I know some individuals who eat as many as 10 in a single week. That will undoubtedly lead to poor health consequences down the road for students. Not to mention ripped jeans and broken chairs."

Golledge said the wrap will be replaced by the Ultimate Vegan Wrap, which contains tofu, pickled beets, habanero peppers, asparagus, cottage cheese and a fat-free vinaigrette dressing.

Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed an executive order authorizing the United States Army 1st Infantry Division and the Kansas National Guard to begin combat operations in Kansas City and the greater northwestern region of Missouri yesterday, effectively declaring war on the neighboring state.
In a statement this morning. Brownback called upon all Kansans to assist in the war effort.
"I mean, come on. Kansas City is named after us. We're just finishing the job that John Brown started 200 years ago," Brownback said. "It's past time to protect the rights of native Kansans who reside in Missouri and to take back what is rightfully ours: the College Basketball Hall of Fame and that ice cream place in Westport."
The campaign began with the advance of the Fort Riley-based 1st Infantry Division into the city center of Kansas City. So far, Kansas troops have successfully gained a foothold in and occupied the Kansas City metro, facing minimal resistance from Missourian forces.
Kansas also struck Columbia, Mo., with a barrage of tactical nuclear weapons, turning the irredeemable wasteland
into a radioactive irredeemable wasteland. Citizens say life hasn't changed much there, however.
"To be honest, the bombs made things a little cleaner around here," said University of Missouri student Bob-Cletis Gilroy Jr. "The bandit
attacks got a little more frequent, but other than that it's life as usual here at Mizzou. SEC!"
Critics say Brownback is using the historical grievances between the two states as a pretense to seize control of Kansas City's professional
sports franchises, namely the Chiefs football team and Royals baseball team.
"It's a war for football. I believe there is a way to achieve a peaceful solution to our lack of an NFL franchise without bloodshed in Kansas City," said University politi
cal science professor Margaret Vasquez. "Wait, does this mean we're taking over that ice cream place in Westport? Forget it, I'm down."
Sources close to Missouri's military said the bulk of the Missouriian armed forces will remain in St. Louis.

A man rolls a blunt as a large group gathered near the New Jersey Statehouse to show their support for legalizing marijuana March 21 in Trenton, N.J. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback recently announced he would legalize all forms of drugs in the state for recreational use, effective immediately.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback speaks at the Kansas Department for Children and Families in Topeka on March 23. Brownback announced that he would legalize all drugs for recreational use, effective immediately.
Following a Republican convention this past weekend in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Gov. Sam Brownback has made the decision to legalize all forms of drugs for recreational use, effective immediately.
Amsterdam and New York Brownback and the others met with Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte at a coffee shop early Friday, where they discussed the staggering statistics of Amsterdam, where cannabis in all of its forms, as well as hallucinogenic mushrooms, are legal for personal use.

immediately.
"I have finally had the realization, that the War on Drugs is nothing but a waste of money," Brownback said in a news release. "It is time for a change."
for a change. Several Republican Kansas representatives, including Brownback, traveled to Amsterdam to conduct a study Friday and Saturday. The study compared the crime and drug use rates between Amsterdam and Kansas.
Rutte said the conversation he had with Brownback went well, and Brownback was open for several reform suggestions.
By legalizing drugs from marijuana to heroine, we will not only fix this state, we will also be pioneers for this country." according to the release. "Medical professionals can finally use these drugs to help their patients, and those who see it fit to use recreational drugs may do so legally."
Brownback has designed a four-tier strategy, which has been modeled from Amsterdam and the state of Colorado's current laws.
Tier one will implement the legalization of drugs that are considered Schedule III through Schedule V, which means they are substances with low potential to be addictive, ranging from Xanax, to anabolic steroids to Ketamine.
Tier two is modeled after current Colorado law, which utilizes "bold sentencing, parole and community re-entry," according to Colorado Drug Policy.
All people currently incarcerated in the state of Kansas for drug charges including paraphernalia, possession and intent to sell will be released. As of Sept. 30, 2013 there were 98,200 inmates in federal prison for possession, trafficking of drugs or other drug related charges.
Currently, $50 billion of Kansas tax dollars goes to prisons, juvenile justice programs and parole and other corrections programs, according to the Center on
Budget and Policy Priorities. With the decrease in nearly 100,000 inmates, Kansas tax payers will save approximately $10 billion a year, Brownback said.
"The money we save will fund scholarships for students who attend state-level universities."
SAM BROWNBACK Kansas governor
Once these inmates are all released, parole and community re-entry programs will teach those who still want to be involved in the drug trade how to grow and cultivate drugs. Brownback said teaching those who were previously involved with drugs how to grow and deal intelligently will nearly eliminate gang violence.
"Should these men and women who have spent their lives engulfed in the drug trade have a new, legal outlet to do their profession, gangs will not have an opportunity to sell drugs in Kansas," Brownback said in a High Times Magazine article. "If your friendly neighborhood drug dealer has high-quality drugs to sell you, why would you give your money to grossly manufactured drugs from gangs who bring nothing but violence?"
Currently, Americans annually spend $51 billion on the War on Drugs, according to www.drugpolicy.org. A large portion of this money contributes to border patrol and preventing gangs from entering the U.S. With low demand for gangs to transport drugs across the border, Americans will be able to save billions each year on eliminating border patrol and anti-gang task forces.
And that's where tier three comes in. New legislation will require mandated gang, drug and overdose education to students of all ages. Instead of 'Say No to Drugs' campaigns in elementary schools, young students will be educated on the effects of drugs on their bodies. At the middle school level, students will receive financial education on the use of drugs, including a mark-up of how much money they can save if they do not purchase drugs. In high school, students will
"All of these gangs use Kansas as a pipeline to smuggle their drugs through, and on the way, they stop in places like Kansas City and get all of these young kids to join their gangs," Schmidt said. "It's time for this nonsense to stop. The violence ends here."
Attorney General Derek Schmidt said he has seen a rise in West Coast gang influences among Kansas teens more in the recent years than ever before.
receive education on overdoses.
This aggressive form of education will "hopefully show kids that drugs aren't bad. We don't want to scare them from not doing drugs, we just want them to know what they're putting into their bodies and what could happen in instances of overuse," Brownback said.
Finally, tier four, will legalize Schedule I and II drugs. These drugs are classified as "having a high potential for abuse and are not currently accepted for medical use," according to the Office of Diversion Control and include marijuana, heroin, LSD, Ecstasy and Adderall.
This will be the last enacted tier because Brownback hopes the previous three will have been fully completed and successful by this time.
"We have to start with small steps," Brownback said. "We can't just jump right in and say 'everyone is free and can do what they want with drugs.' No, there has to be organization and order, and
with that, people can follow suit and go from there."
So where will all the money Kansas saves go?
"I want to give money back to the education systems in Kansas," Brownback said. "It is time for college students, especially, to be given a break. The money we save will fund scholarships for students who attend state-level universities."

Taylor Swift to perform at Allen Fieldhouse

Taylor Swift is no stranger to the Kansas campus. In 2009, Swift stepped on Jayhawk Boulevard to visit her best friend, Abigail Anderson, who was a sophomore at the time. During her time at the University, Swift sat in on a journalism lecture, wandered down Massachusetts Street and spent quality time with her "BFF"
Now, years later, Swift is coming back for more. Swift is set to perform at Allen Fieldhouse in December 2015.
Swift will join the likes of icons such as Bob Marley, The Beach Boys, Elton John, Tina Turner and several others who have all performed at Allen Fieldhouse in the past. A concert hasn't been held in the Fieldhouse for nearly three decades.
The announcement of Swift's concert has been a work in progress for weeks. While the University pushed for a KU News release, the savvy Swift had an alternate idea. Her two cats, Meredith and Olivia, posted a video on their official Facebook fan page late at night on Tuesday, March 31. The video featured the two cats, both of whom were trained by Swift's choreographer, dancing and lip-meowing to Swift's "Back to December"
The video ends with a brief explanation of why Swift chose the month of December for her concert.
"I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday, which is on December 13," Swift says in the video as her cats continue to dance onscreen. "I have been wanting to return to KU since 2009, and this is the perfect opportunity. On December 13, I will turn 25. Just 14 days later, the Jayhawks beloved Bill Self will turn 52. Coincidence? I think not."
Early Tuesday morning, Swift tweeted out teasers for the upcoming show.
"Can't w8 to debut two new singles... age is everything.
allenfieldhouse #beware-ofTswift"
ics from her new song, "25," which has yet to be released.
She later tweeted song lyr-
"I know I'll thrive, when I turn 25...//I don't know about you, but Bill feels 52. #25 #blessed #newsong"
The exact date of the concert has yet to be announced.
Student Union Activities and KJKH will co-sponsor the event. Tickets will go on sale the week of finals.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
New Chipotle to open in Kansas Union

@SooFetchGretch
KU Dining Services announced Tuesday that due to poor sales the Panda Express on the third floor of the Kansas Union will be replaced with a Chipotle.
University officials polled 2,000 random students via email over the past few weeks to gauge what food students wanted on campus.
"The overwhelming response was Chipotle," Ashlynn Collins, director of KU Food Services said. "There really was no other choice for us."
"I'm most definitely going to be the first one in line when it finally opens."
BRIDGETTE MEYER Sophomore from Shawnee
This will be the fourth Chipotle restaurant in Lawrence. Currently, the closest Chipotle to campus is near the intersection of 23rd Street and Naismith Drive. The two other locations are on Massachusetts Street and at the intersection of 6th Street and Monterey Way.

Raquel Anderson, the manager of the 23rd Street location, spoke about the opening of the new location.
"The campus location will close at 4 p.m., so we won't have to compete for the dinner rush," Anderson said.
Many University students voiced their approval when the news was released Tuesday.
"I cannot wait for a Chipotle on campus," said Bridgette Meyer, a sophomore from Shawnee. "I'm most definitely going to be the first one in line when it finally opens."

THE DAILY DEBATE
Where should the NFL put another franchise?
Jesse Pinkman
@TotallyKafkaesque
NORTH KOREA
It's no secret that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wants to add
more franchise teams to the league. Whether it is in Los Angeles or London, adding more teams to the NFL can only help create more worldwide interest in football, as well as create more interesting matchups and rivalries.
My sources, who shall remain anonymous, have informed me that Goodell is interested in establishing an NFL franchise in Pyongyang, North Korea. While this may not make much sense at first, North Korea is the perfect place to set up a new NFL franchise.
One of the main reasons why North Korea is such a fitting place to establish a new NFL franchise is that it would open up a whole new fan base to American football. It would also give the people of North Korea a team that they can cheer for. With the advertising sponsors that are sure to pop up, the North Korean fans can also get a taste of Western culture.
North Koreans can also get jobs building and working at the new stadium. The hundreds of jobs the construction of the new stadium would create would greatly benefit the North Korean economy, possibly encouraging American audiences to come to the country to watch their favorite team compete against the North Korean team.
As he has already proven, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has a love of certain sports, such as basketball. There is little reason to suspect that he would not also like football. He would also be interested in the prospect of serving as the owner, president and general manager of the team — sort of like a North Korean Jerry Jones (the owner, president and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys).
Some may be worried about the long travel time from America to North Korea. The approximate flight time from Kansas City to North Korea is 17 hours. That is not much longer than the flight time from Kansas City to London, which is about 11 hours. The NFL already schedules yearly football games in London during the regular season, so
"NORTH KOREAN LEADER KIM JONG-UN HAS A LOVE OF CERTAIN SPORTS, SUCH AS BASKETBALL. THERE IS LITTLE REASON TO SUSPECT THAT HE WOULD NOT ALSO LIKE FOOTBALL."
spending some more time on a plane shouldn't be too much of a problem for NFL teams or American fans.
With all the talk of expansion going around the NFL. it only makes sense to expand the league to international locations. North Korea could provide a brand new frontier for a new NFL franchise to thrive. Just think about it. It won't be too much longer until NFL fans are tuning in on Sundays to watch the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Pyongyang Raiders.

BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
The NFL is a $9 billion industry, but the league has yet to
tap into the biggest part of its market. The league and commissioner Roger Goodell have identified Europe as the target for NFL expansion and major NFL profit.
"The NFL may be profiting in the United States,but our goal as an organization is to spread the joy of pure football to the rest of the world," Goodell said.
"IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE TO PUT AN NFL TEAM IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA THAT FRANKLY, I'M STUNNED THE NFL HASN'T MADE THE MOVE ALREADY."
If the team placed in Bosnia and Herzegovina is successful, word will spread to the rest of Europe that football is a profitable industry, and other European countries will adopt NFL franchises.
Despite that not one NFL player has publicly expressed interest in moving to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the small European country is still the perfect place to put an NFL franchise. Football is growing in its popularity around the globe, and in order to spread to Europe, the NFL has to find a place to start. Never mind that Bosnia and Herzegovina's population is roughly 1 percent of the United States, it's still the ideal place to put an NFL franchise.
Our players have expressed interest in going to Europe, and many of them saw Bosnia and Herzegovina as a place they'd love to spend their time," NFL Players Association President DeMaurice Smith said.
The NFL has identified Bosnia and Herzegovina as its target audience for a new expansion franchise.
A franchise in Bosnia and Herzegovina will allow expansion into Europe gradually, as most European
fans don't even know they want an NFL team in their country yet.
Fans will get excited to see the game, and the construction of the necessarily massive stadium will strengthen the economy and the value of entertainment in the country. Once the NFL begins to expand outside its borders and create teams all over Europe, Bosnia and Herzegovina will be able to claim that they have the oldest NFL franchise overseas.
It makes so much sense to put an NFL team in Bosnia and Herzegovina that frankly, I'm stunned the NFL hasn't made the move already. NFL executives have been pushing for a team in Europe since 2008, and now they have the opportunity to put a team in the ideal European country.
But don't ask NFL executives how badly Bosnian and Herzegovinian fans want an NFL franchise,ask Edin Dzeko the captain of Bosnia and Herzegovina's national soccer team and the so called "Bosnian Diamond."
"If they put an American football team here, I'm applying for citizenship in England," Dzeko said.

Marcus Foster regrets his time at Kansas State, wishes he had signed with Kansas
Former Kansas State guard Marcus Foster was released from the men's basketball team March 24. After his dismissal, Foster expressed regret for not choosing to play at the University of Kansas instead.
GRETCHEN WIENERS
@SoooFetchGretch
Former Kansas State guard Marcus Foster was dismissed on March 24 by coach Bruce Weber for being "unable to live up to the standards expected of (Kansas State) players."
A week after being kicked off the team, Foster said he made a mistake in choosing K-State.
"I know you can't change the past, but at this point in time, I realize going to K-State was wrong for me," Foster said.
Foster was a three-star recruit in the class of 2013 and averaged 26.9 points, 11.7 rebounds and three assists per
game during his senior year of high school, and had scholarship offers from Kansas State, California, Creighton, Lehigh, Oklahoma and SMU, according to Rivals.com.
He wasn't recruited by Kansas, but he said he wishes things were different.
"I wish I would have worked harder in high school, so Kansas would have looked at me," Foster said. "You have to be among the best of the best to be recruited by KU."
Kansas coach Bill Self caught wind of Foster's statements and shot down the idea of recruiting him.
It's a shame that Marcus was
eos in his two years as a Wildcat. He also was found wandering the corridors of Allen Fieldhouse after the Sunflower Showdown this season.
dismissed from the K-State program," Self said. "Unfortunately, our team is stacked in his position, so signing here wouldn't do him any good."
"If I hear Sandstorm one more time, I'm going to rip my eardrums out. If someone shouts 'EMAW' at me one more time, I'm going to lose my mind."

COMMENTARY Kansas should schedule Wichita State every year

@SoooFetchGretch
WAYNE
BRINGS THE
PAIN
ROCK CHALK RENOVATIONS
Kansas and Kansas State already have the Sunflower Showdown, and it's one of the longest ongoing rivalries in the history of college athletics.
Kansas Athletics to reallocate student seats behind baskets to donors
What about Kansas and Wichita State? Sure, Wichita State blew Kansas out of the water in the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament, but it wasn't always like that.
The two schools used to play each other back in the day. And Kansas was on the dominating end during that series.
Kansas students throw confetti to show support for Kansas' starting lineup against TCU this season. Kansas Athletics has decided to remove more seats from the student section to accommodate more donors.
On Jan. 8, 1992, Kansas crushed Wichita State 81-51. Same story on Jan. 23, 1991, when Kansas defeated Wichita State 84-50. How about on Jan. 4, 1990 when the Jayhawks annihilated the Shockers 93-66? The year before that, on Jan. 25 1989, Kansas defeated Wichita State 86-66. In 1985, Kansas defeated Wichita State 81-56. Need I continue?
Wichita State has only defeated Kansas twice in 1981 and 1987, the year before Kansas won the national championship. And in 1987 the Shockers only won by five.
One game can't determine the Kings of Kansas. If you look at the track record, Kansas is obviously better than Wichita State.
To determine the true Kings of Kansas, KU, Kansas State and Wichita State need to play in a triangular tournament every year. That way, there is no debate who wins the state. There will be no tomfoolery by state officials who think it's OK to wear a shirt with all the mascots on it.
What should we call this rivalry? Like mentioned before, Sunflower Showdown is already taken. The winner could be called Guardians of the Wheat or something like that, because when Kansas wins (which happens more than for Wichita State) the fans "Wave the Wheat." And everyone knows that the Shockers' mascot is actually a shock of wheat.
What kind of mascot is a Shocker anyway? Is a shock of wheat really that intimidating? I don't think so. Everyone (unless you're gluten intolerant) eats wheat. There is nothing scary about wheat. A Jayhawk on the other hand is one of the most prolific mascots in the history of college athletics. A mythical bird that is based on how Kansans basically tore apart the state of Missouri in the civil war is much, much scarier than a little shock of wheat.
Even if the triangular idea falls, through, Kansas and Wichita State need to play every year. Kansas needs some sort of rivalry that can try to replace the Border War. Lord knows Kansas State doesn't live up to that.

Similar to Kansas Athletics' decision to remove Section U from the student section almost a year ago, Kansas Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger announced on Tuesday that the University will be knocking out the student section seats behind each basket in order to accommodate more donor seats.
In the press release, Zenger said the current plan is to move the students to the upper bowl in sections 1, 11, 12 and 22, saying that he thinks it will help the students' basketball IQ as a whole.
"It's a much better view anyway," Zenger said. "Students will appreciate the perspective and learn the game better. Maybe then they'll quit with their incessant booing and overall ignorance."
Realizing Athletics could make even more of a profit than last season. Zenger jumped on the opportunity. He plans to charge $10,000 per seat for a season ticket to the new club-level donor sections, which will result in more than $500,000 of added revenue.
"It's too good of a deal to pass up." Zenger said.
The new club-level sections will include an open bar and a gourmet buffet. Donors must donate at least $50,000 a year
to the Williams Fund to be eligible to purchase a ticket for these sections.
Zenger also announced plans to limit student entrance by offering a mandatory basketball rules test in order to enter the stadium. One of the NCAAs top referees, John Higgins, will administer the test.
Higgins is currently leading the nation in technical fouls given with 41, and he sits at sixth out of all referees in total fouls called this season, with 3,397.
Higgins was said to be ecstatic about the new job, adding that he would relish "any opportunity to yell at college kids."
"That's why I do it," Higgins said. "Life wouldn't be worth living if I couldn't give 19-year-old kids technical fouls for flexing after dunks. That's the American dream."
Kansas basketball big men Jamari Traylor and Landen Lucas also said they felt the rule was for the best. Lucas said if it were up to him, the Jayhawks would "play in an empty arena," whereas Traylor felt that it was a simple matter of fairness.
"We already have the refs in our back pocket, and having a crowd that's on our side just doesn't seem fair," Traylor said.
The two said they hope to see some of the other sports
follow in the direction of basketball, removing all student seats and pushing them as far away from the action as possible, although it remains to be seen what more dominos will fall.
Right now, there are no more plans to remodel the historic Allen Fieldhouse, but Zenger said he wouldn't rule out the possibility of demolishing the Fieldhouse and converting Amber Student Recreation Fitness Center into a full-time basketball arena.
"I don't see there being any resistance to that," Zenger said. "It's not like we have that rich of a basketball history here anyway."

Kentucky 2012 championship vacated

NCAA: Calipari broke recruiting rules; Kansas now receives title SLIM SHADY @WhasMyName?
The 2012 Kansas basketball team has now been declared the NCAA champions.
Even though Kansas lost 67-59 to Kentucky in the 2012 national championship game, the Wildcats have been forced to vacate the championship win after the NCAA found recruiting violations.
The decision came after the NCAA reported John Calipari bought current New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis a 1994 Ford Tempo during Davis' senior year of high school.
"I thought the car was cool enough to persuade Davis to Kentucky, but not expensive enough for the NCAA to find out," Calipari said. "I guess I was wrong and now I have to forfeit another championship."
Calpari said he isn't disappointed in his actions but having his third Final Four trip vacated really taught him a life lesson. He said he won't cheat
"This loss really hits home," Calipari said. "I thought I was going to get away with this one, but it scared me straight. I won't give another player a car or dollar again."
Davis, who won the most valuable player of the 2012 championship game, will have to forfeit that accolade as well, and Davis isn't happy about it.
again.
"Man, this is some straight BS," Davis said. "Cal gave me a Ford Tempo. If I knew this would happen, I would have asked for a better car. I deserved a Benz or something like that."
Davis said that he won't talk to Calipari ever again because he feels as if Calipari let the Kentucky team down, but he's the only one that feels that way.
The rest of the 2012 Kentucky team feels like they came out on top even without the 2012 national championship.
"What can I say? I made more money at Kentucky than I do in the NBA," former Kentucky guard Michael Kidd-Gilchrist said. "Coach Cal gave me the chance to go to the NBA, and I left college with a degree and a bunch of cash in my pocket."
The Wildcat fans might be upset about losing, but the Kansas fans are estatic.
"This is the best day ever," said senior Tim Jones from Lawrence. "I thought I would never see a national championship before I graduated, and now, I can say I was part of a championship season as a student."
Coach Bill Self was shocked and excited that he can add a second title to his resume, and the sixth national title will hang in Allen Fieldhouse
The 2014-15 season wasn't a success in Self's eyes, but he said reclaiming the 2012 title brings a twinnle to his eye.
I was wondering when this would happen", Self said. "It look a little longer than I expected."
"In 2012, that was one of the most disappointing ends to
a championship run that I've ever experienced, but now I can enjoy it," Self said. "I just can't wait to see that new 2012 NCAA banner in the rafters."
The team will be welcomed back on April 18 to celebrate the championship by parading down Massachusetts Street with a closing ceremony in Memorial Stadium.
Former Kansas forward Thomas Robinson, who posted a double-double in the championship game with 18 points and 17 rebounds, will be the master of ceremonies and speak to the Kansas fans in attendance.
"I had such a good game against that Kentucky team, and I thought we deserved the win anyways," Robinson said. "I'm glad I can look back on how my career ended and say it ended on a winning streak instead of a big fat L."
Former Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor, who had a team-high 19 points in the game, was shocked at the nature of the NCAA violation. "That stinks that [Anthony Davis] didn't get something more out of the deal," Taylor said. "At least he can afford a nice car now."
