The male and female figures on restroom signs make it clear which restrooms are meant for which gender. But what if a student doesn't identify as male or female?
The Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center implemented three gender-neutral restrooms after graduate student Hugo Macias Jr. pushed the initiative to be more inclusive of trans students' needs. The three restrooms join the more than 20 facilities on campus that offer gender neutral, single-use restrooms.
Macias, a second-year graduate assistant in the Student Involvement and Leadership Center (SILC), wasn't available for comment at this time. However, he did tweet earlier this month a photo of the temporary sign and said he was "Proud of the @KUAmblerRec for taking a step toward gender inclusivity! It's the little things. #RockChalk"
SILC's web page asserts its commitment to offering restrooms to trans and genderqueer individuals, as well as others who would benefit from their use. The page also outlines other areas of campus that offer gender-neutral restrooms.
As the rec center is a major hub for student activity, graduate student Roze Brooks
"Generally trans people tend to be a community that is impacted by gendered restrooms or
gendered spaces, so for the Rec. they have multiple gendered spaces," Brooks said. "Having gender-neutral restrooms is a comforting thing, a positive juncture for a community that gets discriminated against
at the Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity said these restrooms are a step in the right direction for equality.
frequently."
Arnold said there was no question whether the Rec Center should make these three restrooms gender neutral.

Four juniors have selected as nominees for the Udall Scholarship, a national award that honors the legacies of Arizona congressmen Morris and Stewart Udall. Its purpose is to reward students for leadership, public service and commitment to issues related to American Indian nations or to the environment. The Udall Foundation will give out 50 scholarships of up to $5,000.
Advisors will find out about the winners today, and the results will be officially announced online May 1.

GIPP: "My proudest moment is seeing us actually be engaged in the community. This year our organization has made huge strides in developing an identity for itself. Last semester I helped out a lot with the fall powwow, and I also developed a panel to coincide with the powwow to make it more effective. Seeing our recognition, and the support from Dr. [Nate] Thomas (KU's provost for Diversity and Equity) announcing the formation of the new relationship with the Haskell Bridge Program
during that time really was cool. Just being an advocate for Native Americans, that's my proudest moment here. I've really found my own passion and drive and so it's led me to develop more of an initiative and motivation to go forward and find new opportunities."
KANSAN: What are your goals for the future and for your involvement with the Native American community?
GIPP: "I really want to help the university increase
its presence in the Native American community because we have the opportunity here, I believe. Ultimately, I really want to help Native American youths go to college and stay in college and graduate and make that a continuous process. That would create a new social norm, because there aren't that many Native Americans that are going to college because we have such a high attrition rate in the country, and so I want to offset that trend and develop a new social norm for Native American youths to look up to and actually have something to aspire to."

University Senate report calls for extended benefits for same-sex couples, domestic partnerships
A recent report of the Task Force on Domestic Partner Benefits recommends the University take heed of the federal decision to extend federal benefits to same-sex couples.
According to the report and mirroring the results of the 2010 report, the University continues to "discriminate against KU faculty and employees with domestic partners." With the recent repeal of protected status for LGTB state workers by Gov. Brownback, the report said the actions by the state "can be viewed as one more hostile gesture in the effort to secure rights and benefits for
The report also calls for more information to be gathered on how this decision would affect the University, and how it would be implemented.
University Senate president Jonathan Mayhew said in an email that extending such benefits for domestic partners is important for the University because it will help bring in new students and faculty who look for a place where they or their partner can receive benefits.
"A change to improve benefits will likely aid hiring and retention." Mayhew said in an email. "Given the negative climate for LGBT people in the state of Kansas, this issue is especially relevant."
The University Senate was charged with evaluating the changes in domestic partner benefits since a previous 2010 report, and figuring out ways for the University to adopt extensive benefits for people in domestic partnerships.
"I think the report could be a catalyst for further action by the administration on working towards improving benefits," Mayhew said in an email.
the domestic partners of KU's faculty, staff, and student constituents."
the task force also looked at the climate change since its previous 2010 report, especially the growing number of states legalizing same-sex marriage. With Alabama becoming the 37th state to do so, the committee report said "this committee believes that, in the effort to attract and maintain the best of faculty, staff, and student contingents, the domestic partner benefit agenda must include same and other sex partners who remain committed and unmarried."
"A change to improve benefits will likely aid hiring and retention. Given the negative climate for LGBT people in the state of Kansas, this issue is especially relevant."
JONATHAN MAYHEW University Senate president
"It will require concrete action by the central administration of the University to implement the recommendations in the report," he said in an email. "These recommendations will benefit those in domestic partnerships, as well as those wanting to see a University more welcoming of diversity."
For the changes proposed by the task force to take effect, Mayhew said the University must take action to diversify and create a more inclusive atmosphere.
The report ends with a final assertion by the committee that "benefits to nonmarried committed partners of employees is essential to a mentally and physically healthy workforce."

The Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center fitness assessments measure fitness levels based on cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body fat percentage
Student rec offers fitness level assessments
SHERYL MILLER
@KUSheryl
The Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center at the University offers a fitness assessment for students interested in learning their fitness level.
The assessment, called Fit4U, measures current fitness level based on the five components of fitness (cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body fat percentage) in addition to your resting heart rate, blood pressure and movement assessment.
All assessments are completed by a trained, nationally certified student
personal trainer. Kelsey Stoskopf, a senior from St. Louis, is one of the trainers who conducts assessments
"The assessments are excellent for any student, from someone just starting their fitness journey and wanting to get an accurate starting point, to someone who has been working out for years and wants to see what all their hard work has done for their body." Stoskopf said.
Stokopf said an assessment will help students recognize if they have any muscle imbalances. Knowing what muscle imbalances you have can help prevent injury, she said. A body fat analysis is also included in the assessment.
The center recommends a follow-up assessment to check on health progress, which costs $10.
"A lot of people rely on the scale or BMI to measure progress, and those aren't always the best ways to do it," Stoskopf said.
Body fat analysis is more accurate because it measures both muscle and fat mass, giving you a percentage of each, she said.
"Two people weighing 130 pounds could look completely different, if one has 20 percent body fat as opposed to 13 percent," Stoskopf said.
To sign up, go online to www.recreation.ku.edu/fitness-assessments and

complete a Fit4U Health History Form, then visit the administrative office in the ASRFC. You may call 785-864-1370 to schedule an appointment. Assessments are available for student

While Brooks said the University is making strides in the right direction, there's more to be done.
"It just was something that we needed to do along with others on this campus," Arnold said. "We're not the only one that has done this, and we wanted to be inclusive of it for all the right reasons."
"I think the conversations are slowly starting to grow at the University level in general," Brooks said. "Gendered spaces are something we're accustomed to, and I think the conversation is starting to
build consciousness around different gender identities other than just male and female."
Brooks said the implementation of a fulltime assistant director and coordinator for the Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity spurred the University to start working for increased understanding of the importance of these issues.
"We're starting to see programming and it be part of conversations that bring attention to why these issues are important in higher ed." Brooks said.
In light of March 31 being the sixth International
Transgender Day of Visibility, Brooks said the more allies and people advocating on behalf of trans individuals and the LGBT community, the more likely they are to feel confident and capable of the same kind of success.
"That makes a difference when you have folks that are being visible and open and they've found a sense of social capital to be where they are, it opens up the gates for others to be like. 'That's cool. I feel more comfortable knowing someone else is living their life the way I want to,'" Brooks said.

Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center changes three restrooms to gender-neutral restrooms.

One is ADA-accessible with a shower and a toilet; the other two do not have a shower.
Elections Commission to hear violations Thursday
The Elections Commission will hear two violations over social media filed in the current Student Senate election this Thursday, according to Dylan Unrein, outreach director of the Elections Commission.
Of the two possible violations, one is filed against Advance KU and the other against Imagine, the two current coalitions in the Student Senate election.
The elections chair from the Elections Commission filed the violations, which both involve social media for the two coalitions.
The Elections Commission is the body that oversees the Student Senate election process. The Commission can file violations against the coalitions as they learn about potential violations, and the coalitions can file violations against each other as well.
Imagine has a YouTube
account that was not registered with the Commission, and Advance KU advertised a social event without receiving permission first, according to Nikki Marcotte, the Elections Commission chair.
This is the second hearing of this year's election race. Last week, the Elections Commission filed two violations — one against each coalition — because the vice presidential candidate from Advance KU and the presidential candidate from Imagine didn't attend the training that all candidates were required to attend.
Both were cleared with no violation once they explained they were traveling home from spring break.
The hearing will take place Thursday at 8 a.m. in room 108 in Green Hall.

Indiana governor wants changes to controversial law
Lawmakers in Arkansas pass religious-freedom bill, as well
in ley inates within nopeents global
TOM DAVIES ANDREW DEMILLO Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence asked lawmakers Tuesday to send him a clarification of the state's new religious-freedom law later this week, while Arkansas legislators passed a similar measure, despite criticism that it is a thinly disguised attempt to permit discrimination against gays.
But, he said, he "can appreciate that that's become the perception, not just here in Indiana but all across the country. We need to confront that."
The Arkansas proposal now goes to Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who has said he will sign it.
Pence defended the Indiana law as a vehicle to protect religious liberty but said he has been meeting with lawmakers "around the clock" to address concerns that it would allow businesses to deny services to gay customers.
The governor said he does not believe "for a minute" that lawmakers intended "to create a license to discriminate."
"It certainly wasn't my intent," said Pence, who signed the law last week.
The Indiana law prohibits any 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.

"In Indiana, they can say, 'we were not prepared for the backlash.' We don't really have that luxury in Arkansas because we've had a real-time preview of what we're up against because of what has happened in Indiana over the last week."
CLARKE TUCKER
Arkansas Democrat
Although the legal language does not specifically mention gays and lesbians, critics say the law is designed to shield businesses and individuals who do not want to serve gays and lesbians, such as florists or caterers who might be hired for a same-sex wedding.
In Washington, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Indiana officials appeared to be in "damage-control mode"
following the uproar over the law.
Earnest also took issue with Pence's claim that Indiana's law was rooted in a 1993 federal law. He said the Indiana measure marked a "significant expansion" over that law because it applies to private transactions beyond those involving the federal government.
The federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act arose from a case related to the use of peyote in a Native American ritual. But in 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal law did not apply to the states. So states began enacting their own laws. Twenty now have them on the books.
Businesses and organizations including Apple and the NCAA have voiced concern over Indiana's law, and some states have barred government-funded travel to the state.
Democratic legislative leaders said a clarification would not be enough.
"To say anything less than a repeal is going to fix it is incorrect," House Minority Leader Scott Pelath said.
Republican Senate President Pro Tem David Long said lawmakers were negotiating a clarification proposal that he hoped would be ready for public release on Wednesday, followed by a vote Thursday before sending the package to the governor.
"We have a sense that we need to move quickly out here and be pretty nimble," Long said. "But right now, we don't have consensus on the language."
Also Tuesday, the Indianapolis Star urged state lawmakers in a front-page editorial to respond to widespread criticism of the law by protecting the rights of gays and lesbians.
The Star's editorial, headlined "FIX THIS NOW", covered the newspaper's entire front page. It called for lawmakers to enact a law that would prohibit discrimination on the basis of a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.
The newspaper says the uproar sparked by the law has "done enormous harm" to the state and potentially to its economic future.
In Little Rock, hundreds of people filled the Arkansas Capitol for a second day to protest the measure, holding signs that read "Hate is Not Holy" and "We are Open for Business for All Arkansans."
If enacted, the Arkansas proposal would prohibit state and local governments from infringing on a person's religious beliefs without a "compelling" reason. The proposal was given final approval in a series of votes after the Republican-led House rejected efforts to send the bill
a committee to change it.
"The reality is what we're doing here is really not that remarkable," Republican Bob Ballinger, the lawmaker behind Arkansas' measure, told reporters. "I do understand it's kind of taken on a life of its own."
back to committee to change 11.
Similar proposals have been introduced this year in more than a dozen states.
Democrats said they had hoped to amend the proposal to make it clear the measure could not be used to deny services to someone based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.
"The reality is what we're doing here is really not that remarkable. I do understand it's kind of taken on a life of its own."
BOB BALLINGER Arkansas Republican
"In Indiana, they can say, 'we were not prepared for the backlash,' " said Democratic Rep. Clarke Tucker, who opposed the bill. "We don't really have that luxury in Arkansas because we've had a real-time preview of what we're up against because of what has happened in Indiana over the last week."
Arkansas-based retail giant Wal-Mart, which has previously said the bill sends the wrong message about its home state, called on Hutchinson to veto the bill.
"Today's passage of HB1228 threatens to undermine the spirit of inclusion present throughout the state of Arkansas and does not reflect the values we proudly uphold." Chief Executive Officer Doug McMillon said in a statement Tuesday.
Tuesday. In a letter also released Tuesday, Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola urged Hutchinson to veto the proposal, which he said would hurt the state's economic development efforts by sending "the message that some members of our community will have fewer protections than others. Our city and our state cannot be limited to only certain segments of society."
The Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce also opposed the measure, calling it bad for business.
Sexual orientation and gender identity are not included in Arkansas' antidiscrimination protections. Last month, Hutchinson allowed a measure to go into law that prevented local governments from including such protections in their antidiscrimination ordinances.

SUMMER INTERNSHIPS
PRO CON
Summer internships beneficial for future success in careers
David Hurtado
@Lastlight343
Life is filled with stepping stones and opportunities that allow us to eventually come into our own. It would be foolish not to take advantage of them.
Internships, for instance, give students important firsthand experience in their field of choice that can build the foundation for their career. This experience can be essential to getting a foot in the door with a potential employer. Gone are the days when a handshake and a diploma took you places other than McDonald's. In 2014, The Atlantic reported that employers' number one interest in prospective employees is their "experience outside of academics," with internships being their top interest. I know that rolling up their sleeves isn't the way most students envision spending their summer, but the benefits outweigh the costs.
Arguably the biggest criticism of internships is that they're mostly unpaid. Then again, aren't classes also unpaid? They both serve similar purposes — one educates you in the classroom and the other in the field. The only real difference is that internships separate you from your classmates in terms of experience. Good grades look nice on paper, but they don't mean as much to employers. Having prior experience with the work they expect you to do does.
Let's be honest, just because
you're investing four years of your life and your parents' money into a specific degree doesn't mean you'll be passionate about it down the road. In a few years' time you may discover philosophy was interesting to study, but isn't so great at paying the bills.
Internships can give you grounded experience of how your studies might translate into a work environment.
It's true that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," so don't let that become you. Just because your summer may be devoted to an internship doesn't mean fun abruptly ceases to exist.
"INTERNSHIPS CAN GIVE YOU GROUNDED EXPERIENCE OF HOW YOUR STUDIES MIGHT TRANSLATE INTO A WORK ENVIRONMENT."
You can still hang out with friends and do all that you would normally do. Time might become a more valuable commodity, but your future self will thank you for it.

Summers without internships are not detrimental to future
Meg Huwe
@mphuwe
To my fellow college students: it's time we took a much-needed break. Yes, this semester still
has an onslaught of exams, essays, lab reports and finals remaining. In the grand scheme of college life, there may not be time for a breather right now, but the second after turning in your last final, you should be allowed a taste of freedom.
Summer is a wonderful opportunity to advance yourself and promote your career with research opportunities, internships, job shadowing or whatever other professionally beneficial option you chose. But it can also be a time to ask yourself if you enjoy what you're doing or if you are blindly following a path.
"WE ALL DESERVE SOME TIME TO ENJOY OUR SUMMERS WHILE WE'RE STILL YOUNG."
There are an ample number of things that look good on a résumé, but that doesn't mean they're right for you or that you actually like them. Potential-
ty, internships may reveal that your desired major or field isn't right for you, which is helpful, but an internship is not the only way to figure that out.
I'm not saying internships are bad; they offer valuable insight into a potential field of work and give students great experience. Not to mention, some are paid — and well paid at that.
are paid . . and you won't be plenty of time to enter the workforce after graduation. There is no need to grow up quickly, and you won't be a failure if you don't spend this summer interning for a company you couldn't care less about.
1 discourage people from living life as a checklist, as opposed to enjoying the journey. High school was all about getting good grades and getting involved so you could get into a good college. Now, our goal is to do well in college and take internships over the summer so that we can get a good job upon graduation. Eventually you're doing things just to do them, instead of seeing the reasons why, or simply enjoying the actions themselves.
There are plenty of summer activities that may not pad your résumé, but they will offer enjoyment and allow you time to relax after a stressful year in school. Just because we're in college doesn't mean that summer can't be spent taking classes of interest, traveling, going on spontaneous road trips with friends, or doing whatever else you enjoy. Don't get an internship just because it's expected of you. We all deserve some time to enjoy our summers while we're still young.

Staying friends with your ex shows maturity
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritzz
When in a relationship with someone, there are two possible outcomes: you stay with that person for the rest of your life or you break up. What most people struggle with understanding about break ups is that just because the relationship ended does not mean the friendship has to.
If you've dated someone, it
is safe to assume that at one point during the relationship your significant other was one of your best friends. If you hang out with someone for so long, getting to know them comes naturally. In relationships, you share the highs and lows with your partner. They'll see you when you're not looking your best, they'll see you cry, they'll see you angry and they'll see you happy. Unfortunately, life happens, people change and things just don't work out. Breaking off a relationship is hard by itself. Don't torture yourself by losing your best friend in the process too.
I know it's not easy, but is very possible given enough time. When both of you have learned to not have constant
communication and let bitter feelings fade away, is when your friendship can continue on a healthy and beneficial ground. Once done, you will be happier than if your ex was cut out of your life. You're probably wondering
knew you almost as well as you knew yourself. Being friends with your ex will also make your life easier. If you see them out at a bar, on campus, at work, etc., and you're on good terms with each other, that inevitable
"Breaking off a relationship is hard by itself. Don't torture yourself by losing your best friend in the process too."
what the point to all of this is; why should you keep this person in your life, especially if the relationship brought pain? But remember, at one point that individual
awkward eye contact can be avoided. But most importantly, it's a sign of maturity.
tantly, it's a sign of maturity.
It takes a strong person to admit that someone they had loved once no longer holds a
place in their heart anymore. But it takes an even stronger person to respect your ex and the memories by offering them a place in your life. At one point, they were the person who held you when your world was falling apart. They supported you, and possibly loved you to the fullest extent that they could. It's time we stop hating our exes because of a break up. We should instead respect and befriend them. Whether we want to admit it or not, these past relationships helped us grow into the individual that we are today.

Hollywood bad boy Justin Bieber issues apology at end of Comedy Central roast
FALL 2015
Katherine Hartley
@kat hart9
Roastmaster" Kevin Hart took to the stage on Comedy Central Monday night to lead the roast of Hollywood's bad boy Justin Bieber. Celebrities and comedians including Snoop Dogg,
Ludacris, Shaquille O'Neal and even Martha Stewart joined him in the two-hour Comedy Central special, which ended with an apology from Bieber.
"I'm a kind-hearted person, who loves people, and through it all I lost some of my best qualities. For that, I'm sorry. But what I can say is I'm looking forward to being someone that you guys can all look at and be proud of," he said, on a more serious note.
This apology,coupled with Bieber's ability to laugh at himself, seemed to elicit a fairly positive response on
"Easily one of the most enjoyable roasts I've ever seen. I even kinda like Justin now. Kinda. #BieberRoast" comedian Doug Benson tweeted.
social media.
On the other hand, David Sims from The Atlantic called the whole charade "PR disguised as unoriginal comedy" and explored what he said was an obvious play for good publicity due to the overly scripted jokes and final apology.
The roast itself was full of edgy,politically incorrect and borderline offensive jokes with topics ranging
from ISIS to September 11 to the Holocaust. All topics, of course, surrounded Bieber.
Stewart surprised viewers with her witty roast, where she gave Bieber tips for his "inevitable" turn in jail, based on her experience of course, as well as advice on finding the "right gal."
"She'll have to be someone on your level — powerful and famous and rich. Someone you can smoke a joint with or indulge in the occasional threeway. I'm talking about a player in the boardroom and a freak in the bedroom. So Justin, call me," Stewart, 52 years his
elder, joked.
Will Ferrell even made an appearance as Ron Burgundy, telling the audience that Justin has "spunk, moxie, and probably a few other STDs."
Bieber remained seated and quiet throughout the show, occasionally clapping and mostly laughing at the jokes, until the end when he got the final word:
"What do you get when you give a teenager $200 million? A bunch of has-beens calling you a lesbian for two hours."

Rolling Stones announce North American tour

The Rolling Stones announced a 15-city stadium tour Tuesday that will kick off May 24 at Petco Park in San Diego. Other stops include Columbus, Ohio; Minneapolis; Dallas; Atlanta; Orlando, Fla.; and Nashville, Tenn.
The so-called "Zip Code" tour will once again reunite singer Mick Jagger, drummer Charlie Watts and guitarists Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood.
The last time the Rolling Stones played North American stadiums was during their "A Bigger Bang Tour" in 2006. They opted for arena venues for their "50 & Counting" tour in 2012 and 2013.

"We love being out on the road and it is great to come back to North America," said Keith Richards in a statement. "I can't wait to get back on the stage!"
And quite the stage it will be, including a section that juts far into the crowd, allowing the Stones to interact with fans. As is the band's practice, the stage design will employ cutting-edge technology to enhance the performance, including video screens and special effects.
Other cities on the "Zip Code" tour include Pittsburgh; Milwaukee; Kansas City, Mo.; Raleigh, N.C.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Detroit; Buffalo, N.Y.; and Quebec, Canada. Tickets will go on sale April 13.
The "Zip Code" tour will coincide with the rerelease of their seminal album "Sticky Fingers" on May 26. The 1971 recording features such Stones
The band interrupted last year's "14 On Fire" and rescheduled all their
classics as "Brown Sugar," "Wild Horses" and "Dead Flowers."
Australia and New Zealand dates after fashion designer L'Wren Scott, Jagger's companion since 2001, took her own life. The tour concluded Nov. 22, 2014 at
the Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand.

Associated Press
NEW YORK - Since Apple shook up the music world with iTunes a little more than a decade ago, online music has exploded and become the central way many people enjoy and discover music. Internet services such as Pandora and Spotify have millions of users. Now, several high-profile musicians are behind what's being billed as the first artist-owned music-streaming service.
Tidal isn't new, but it's getting a reboot from rapper Jay-Z, who bought the Scandinavian company behind it, Aspiro. Madonna, Rihanna and Beyonce are among the co-owners. That's notable because many artists complain about how little payment they get from other music services, such as Spotify. As owners, artists could insist on better deals.
There are now three main ways to get music, and many services offer a blend:
PAY PER SONG
Apple's iTunes has made it easy to buy singles or albums. Many artists release new albums early through iTunes. Google and Amazon now compete, but the premise remains the same: Buy songs or albums to own forever.
UNLIMITED LISTENING
For a monthly subscription of about $10, you can listen to as many songs as you want on a variety of personal computers, phones, tablets and other devices. Many also let you download songs for offline playback. Once you stop paying, though, you lose all your songs, even ones you've already downloaded. Some
offer free versions with ads and other restrictions, such as song selection only on PCs.
You can't choose specific songs or artists, as you can with the unlimited-listening services. But you can finetune your Internet stations by specifying a song, artist genre or playlist. The station will then stream songs similar to your choices. You can personalize stations further by giving thumbs up or thumbs down to songs you hear.
INTERNET RADIO
Music services typically have deals with all major recording companies, so they differ mainly in features rather than song selection. That said Taylor Swift took her music over Spotify last fall in a dispute over fees. All but her most recent album are on Tidal Ridio and Beats.
JOHN RAOUX/ASSOCIATED PRESS
One of the most popular music services, with 60 million active users worldwide, and a quarter of them paying subscribers. Just this week Spotify launched an app on Sony's PlayStation game console. The two companies worked closely to make listening seamless, so music can be heard in the background while playing games, without losing the game's sound effects, for instance. Spotify offers unlimited listening and Internet radio. It's free with ads; on mobile devices, users are limited to Internet radio and can't choose songs Paying $10 a month gets you an ad-free premium service that offers song selection and offline playback on mobile devices.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Which team will win the NCAA Tournament, Kentucky or the field?
Evan Riggs
@EvanRiggs15
THE FIELD
The Kentucky Wildcats are on a quest to become
college basketball's first undefeated national champion since former coach Bob Knight's Indiana Hoosiers of 1976. Kentucky is the prohibitive favorite to cut down the nets next Monday, but with three other elite coaches in Tom Izzo, Mike Krzyzewski and Bo Ryan possibly waiting for them, I'm taking the field.
In the Elite Eight, Notre Dame came very close to knocking off Kentucky, despite shooting below their season average. Wisconsin and Duke are both similar to Notre Dame, because they spread the floor and shoot a high percentage.
Even though Zach Auguste is a solid player for Notre Dame, he is not on the same level as Frank Kaminsky or Jahlil Okafor.
Kentucky's semifinal opponent, Wisconsin, proved in the Elite Eight against Arizona that it is capable of heating up from
three for a long period of time. In the second half, Kentucky went from three to 10-12. If Wisconsin gets hot, the team will be tough to beat because they have a consistent inside threat with Kaminsky, and another elite talent in Sam Dekker.
Karl-Anthony Towns' foul trouble is one of Kentucky's biggest issues this season. Kaminsky will present a big challenge for Towns down low, which may get him in trouble.
If Duke were to advance, it would be a formidable foe for Kentucky. Okafor, is a magnificent talent on offense, and would be able to score on Kentucky's big guys better than anybody has all season. Duke has plenty of shooters: Quinn Cook, Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow, that could get hot and make it tough on Kentucky.
since winning his only championship in 2000, so they're definitely due. Guard play has been a big factor in a lot of championship runs recently, and they certainly have a guy capable of that in Travis Trice Jr.
Wisconsin has been waiting for this game a year after Kentucky's Aaron Harrison beat Wisconsin with a three pointer in the final seconds in last year's Final Four.
The calendar may as well read "January, February, Izzo, April," because they have been unbelievable for the last decade. The only game Michigan State lost in March this season was in overtime to Wisconsin, another Final Four team in the Big 10 Championship.
This is Izzo's seventh Final Four, and fifth
"THE CALENDAR MAY AS WELL READ 'JANUARY, FEBRUARY, IZZO, APRIL,' BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN UNBELIEVABLE FOR THE LAST DECADE."
Kentucky will be challenged in a way they haven't yet this season. Duke and Wisconsin will be able to challenge them on the interior, and have perimeter shooters to surround their big guys. Michigan State is the weakest of the bunch, but they can't be counted out. With great coaches like Ryan, Kryzyzewski and Izzo, I'm taking the field.

KENTUCKY
3 8-0. That is the mark of the Kentucky Wildcats, who have already set a record, being the first team in NCAA history to start with 38-straight victories. It hasn't been a cakewalk either, as Kentucky has defeated numerous top-tier teams throughout the year with a strength of schedule that ranks in the top 15-percent of all college teams.
"THE WILDCATS HAVE BEEN TESTED AND PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME. THERE'S NO REASON TO THINK THEY'RE FINISHED YET."
Already this year, the Wildcats beat Kansas, Louisville, North Carolina, Arkansas (twice), West Virginia and Notre Dame, all of which ended up being
top-five seeds in the NCAA Tournament. And perhaps most impressively, five of their seven wins against those top-five seeds came by 14 or more points.
The Wildcats have been tested and passed with flying colors just about every time. There's no reason to think they're finished yet, especially as they have been selected as the unanimous number one in the AP Top 25 in each of the last seven polls.
Kentucky boasts the nation's top defense, according to kenpom.com, with the fifth most efficient offense in the nation. That, coupled with the fact that the team is nine deep, makes the Wildcats nearly unbeatable on any given night, and even when they do appear beatable, the Wildcats have managed to pull out victories in the end.
Unfazed by pressure, the Wildcats have been complimented as having the same demeanor in just about every situation, which quite frankly is why they haven't found themselves in very many close games.
In fact, Kentucky has won games by point margins of 58,49,47,40,39(twice), 35,34,33,and 32(twice), while winning five more games by 20-or-more points, and it's all due to team effort.
The team hasn't relied on one player, or even a couple of players, as six Wildcats average at least 8.5 points per game and four Wildcats average at least 4.5 rebounds.
Kentucky has players that
can hit threes, with Devin Booker, Tyler Ulis and Andrew Harrison all shooting better than 37.5-percent from three, and has a massive inside presence, in Karl-Anthony Towns and Willie Cauley-Stein, both of whom were selected on the AP's All-America first and second teams.
The Wildcats have players with tournament experience in multiple returning players from last year's team, which finished as the national runner up, combined with the youth and talent of what was deemed the nation's second best recruiting class by ESPN in 2014. They also have one of the most clutch players in the game in Aaron Harrison, and perhaps the best defender in the nation, in the aforementioned Cauley-Stein.
Simply put, there is no weakness. There is no soft spot. There is nothing to exploit.
The more you look at this Kentucky team, the more there is to like. While Wisconsin and Duke should be able to pose solid challenges, the Wildcats have reached the point where it would be simply foolish to pick against them.
Even if Kentucky does lose, they will go down as far-and-away the best college basketball team this year, which is the true mark of an elite team. And they should be the clear favorite to win the National Championship at this juncture, even against the field.
The odds are just too good to say otherwise.

Spurs remain hot, pull away from Heat for 95-81 win
ALAN ESKEW
Associated Press
BACARDI HEAT 7 20
MIAMI — Kawhi Leonard scored 22 points, Tony Parker added 16 in his 1,000th NBA game, and the San Antonio Spurs added more steam to their playoff push by beating the Miami Heat 95-81 on Tuesday night.
Tim Duncan had 12 points and 11 rebounds for San Antonio, which went 12-3 in March — the league's second-best record during the month behind only Golden State. Boris Diaw scored 11 points.
Goran Dragic had 19 points and Dwyane Wade added 15 for Miami. Hassan Whiteside and Mario Chalmers each had 10 points, and Chris Andersen grabbed 10 rebounds.
San Antonio stayed No. 6 in the West, and could clinch a playoff berth Wednesday in Orlando.
The Heat remained in the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference race but now are two losses behind No. 6 Milwaukee (which also owns the tiebreaker over Miami if necessary) and only a half-game up on Brooklyn, which climbed into the No. 8 spot with a win over Indiana

earlier Tuesday.
It was still a game at the half, with Miami down just 47-42. But the Spurs pulled away after the break, going up by as many as 15 in the third and then stretching it out to 21 in the fourth.
JOE SKIPPER/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Miami closed to 85-75 on a putback by Andersen with 3:32 left, but Parker hit a floater from the right baseline on the ensuing San Antonio possession and the rally try was quickly snuffed out.
San Antonio is now two wins away from its 16th consecutive 50-win season, with eight games remaining. The last time the Spurs didn't win 50 was 1998-99, when they had a good excuse — that was only a 50-game season.
The Heat used only nine players, with their roster still depleted by illness and injury and forcing Miami into a team-record-tying 30th starting lineup of the season. Whiteside returned after missing three games
Miami started cold but scored 12 points in the final 4:16 of the opening quarter to take a 20-19 lead going into the second, the first time the Spurs trailed after the first period in seven games.
with a hand laceration and, wearing a brace of sorts to protect the still-healing wound, shot 5 for 7.
TIP-INS
Spurs: Parker is now the second player in Spurs history with 1,000 regular-season appearances, behind Duncan (1,323). Among those in the 1,000-NBAGame club, Parker has the highest career winning percentage — .718, just ahead of Duncan (.714). ... Duncan needed the ring finger on his right hand taped after the third quarter, but returned for part of the fourth. ... Manu Ginobili had plenty of Argentinian-flag-waving fans, some chanting "Ole!"
Heat: The Heat lost for only their second time in their last 10 home games, and now are back under .500 in Miami this season (18-19). ... Chalmers beat the halftime buzzer with a 53-foot heave. ... Udonis Haslem (flu), Shabazz Napier (hip) and Luol Deng (knee) were sidelined. ... The Heat haven't led by more than two points in any of their last three home games against the Spurs, going back to last year's NBA Finals.
ROLLING SPURS
Since losing to the Knicks eight games ago, the Spurs have been rolling. Out of 384 game minutes since that defeat, the Spurs have led for 334 minutes and 11 seconds — 87 percent of the time. They've trailed for 35:14 (9.2 percent)
and been tied for 14:35 (3.8 percent). On Tuesday, they led for 44:21, trailing for only 1:20.
COLD HEAT
Miami went 6:34 without a field goal to open the game, its longest such stretch of the Wade era in Miami. Before
Tuesday, the longest drought on that list was 5:35 against Dallas on Dec. 11, 2009.

Sporting Kansas City's Graham Zusi to miss time
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
Sporting Kansas City went into its first practice of the week on Tuesday after its first weekend win of the season. The team followed up on a 1-0 win against New York City FC after starting the season with two draws in three matches, but the team didn't feel relaxed at practice.
Captain Matt Besler got into the face of his fellow defenders multiple times during a short-pitch scrimmage, and manager Peter Vermes haggled some of his players and coaches to keep their voice and communication levels up.
The injury bug bit the team a bit during their 1-0 win in the Bronx, as when Graham Zusi came up lame in the first half and was removed from the match. Vermes gave an update on Zusi, as well as a few others.
INJURY UPDATES
Vermes told media that Zusi has a grade one hamstring strain, which is the lowest grade there is for Zusi's injury. If it were a grade 3 strain, it would sideline Zusi for over a month, Zusi is week-to-week. Vermes ruled out Zusi for Sunday's match, but it's not all bad.
"He's probably got a couple weeks under his belt," Vermes said. "It's probably not a bad thing. It gives him a chance to rest his foot a little bit. It's not what any of us want, but if you look for a positive, that's it."
The winger opposite of Zusi to start Sunday's game, Jimmy Medranda, also left with an injury in the second half, but it was only cramps. He's good to go for Sunday.
"He's trying to get 90 minutes fit, he's just not there yet, at his intensity," Vermes said of Medranda.
Krisztián Németh returned to the practice field for the first time in over 10 days, but with a light brace on his knee. Vermes said he should be ready to go this season. We haven't seen a lot of the 26-year-old Hungarian who came to Sporting KC this offseason, but Vermes said he can slot in anywhere from center forward to the wings.
"He's very good in those positions; that's where his world is," Vermes said. "A lot of that will be defined over time as we play games."
he as his midfielder Roger Espinoza also returned from his stint with the Honduras national team. He'll start this week after his team earned a spot in the Gold Cup with a 4-3 two-leag aggregate score against French Guiana.
LEFT-BACK IS A TOSS UP
To me, the left-back position for Sporting KC is one of the most interesting parts of the squad. Although Seth Sinovic has owned the position for three years, he was handed real competition for the first time since he first earned his starting spot with the club when it signed Canadian left-back Marcel De Jong.
De Jong.
In the one game De Jong and Sinovic have both been available, it was De Jong who drew the start. We should get a second look at who it will be this weekend against Philadelphia.
"I'll decide for each game," Vermes said. "The greatest thing is, you have competition for the position, and that's the most important thing."
De Jong has played up front
in the past, and Vermes isn't ruling that out, but right now, he doesn't need help up front. Instead, the team will just have significant depth in the back four.
"He can play up there," Vermes said. "I'd never say anything is out of the question, but that's not my intentions at the moment."
With De Jong not yet back from his stint with the Canadian national team, Kevin Ellis was running as the back-up left-back at practice on Tuesday.
CHANCE MYERS RETURN
Defender Chance Myers was in practice on Tuesday, working on the side once again. He's still working to get back from rupturing his Achilles' tendon last May. He's been working on one day and resting on the next. Vermes said there's been change to his timetable, and he's still set for a June return, as of now.
MEXICO VS. PARAGUAY
MEXICO VS. PARAGUAY Vermes said he'd be at Arrowhead Stadium for Tuesday night's international friendly between Mexico and Paraguay. As of Monday, close to 35,000 tickets had already been sold, according to ESPN. Sporting KC is a portion of the reason the friendly is being hosted in Kansas City, as it's bred into one of the biggest soccer towns in the United States.
"It shows that the city has become a hotbed for soccer," Vermes said. "From a selfish point of view, it's good for me because it winds up being a great scouting opportunity for possible players in the future."

Chelsea Gardner adds All-America honor to résumé
The awards keep coming in for Kansas women's basketball senior forward Chelsea Gardner. Tuesday morning, Gardner was named as an All-America Honorable Mention by the Associated Press.
This is Gardner's first Honorable Mention in her career, and she is the first Jayhawk to have an All-American Honorable Mention since 2013, when Angel Goodrich received the same honor.
Beside this honor, Gardner adds to her list of All-Big 12 First Team honors this season and was also named to the Women's
Gardner averaged 16.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game during her senior year. In 16 of her last 17 games as a Jayhawk, she recorded double-digit scoring. She also scored in double-figures in 28 of 32 games played.
Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Region 5 Team. Gardner is also one of 52 finalists to be a part of the WBCA All-American team, which will be selected at the NCAA Women's Final Four this weekend in Tampa, Fla.
The senior from DeSoto Tex. was the 27th Jayhawk to surpass the 1,000 point mark in Kansas uniform. She surpassed that mark in her first senior game against South Dakota
In the past two seasons, Gardner scored 20 or more points against a top-10 opponent on multiple occasions. This occurred last season against No. 7 Baylor, where she had 28 points in the 76-60 upset win on Jan. 19, 2014. That win for Kansas snapped Baylor's 53-game conference winning streak. Gardner also recorded 22 points against No. 10 Cal on Dec. 7, 2014, where Kansas also picked up the upset victory, 62-39.
in November. Gardner finished with 1,516 points on the season, which is the 12th all-time highest in program history.

THE MORNING BREW
American League Preview
Matt Corte
@Corte_UDK
Major League Baseball's opening night is in just four days, and with the limited number of words I have to preview each AL division, let's get right to it. Here's my reasoning for each AL teams standings at seasons end.
AL CENTRAL
This division is loaded. The Tigers lost Max Scherzer but added an offensive weapon in Yoenis Cespedes and finally have a healthy Victor Martinez. With veteran manager Terry Francona you can never count on the Indians, plus they added Brandon Moss over the winter. Kansas City lost some key players like James Shields and Billy Butler, but the addition of Edinson Volquez was vital. After their epic postseason run, can you really ever
count them out? The White Sox had the busiest offseason of any central team, and adding closer David Robertson and outfielder Melky Cabrera should help them contend. Sorry Twins fans, your minor league system isn't scaring anyone yet.
1. Tigers 2. White Sox 3. Royals
4. Indians 5. Twins
AL EAST
This division will most likely be a three team race with the Orioles, Blue Jays, and Red Sox all in contention. Manny Machado is back for the Orioles, but the teams ace Chris Tillman had just a 3.34 ERA last season, so their pitching could be lacking some. After a down season last year, the Red Sox will undoubtedly make a push for the division title, because that's just what they do. Adding Pablo Sandoval was also a key roster move. Toronto has the talent to win their first division title since 1993 with
players like José Bautista and new addition Josh Donaldson, but their pitching will have to really step up. Tampa Bay is a team that will struggle without guru Joe Maddon at the helm, but players like Evan Longoria and James Loney should help them remain able. The Yankees have
respectable. The yankees have a good staff in Masahiro Tanaka and C.C. Sabathia, but they also have Alex Rodriguez, and for that reason alone will come in dead last.
THE BREW
1. Red Sox 2. Orioles 3. Blue Jays
4. Rays 5. Yankees
Thanks to this generation's Mickey Mantle AKA Mike Trout, it looks like the Angels will have a solid chance at winning back-to-back division titles. However, the Mariners are right there as well. They resigned Kyle Seager to a seven-year deal and still boast one
AL WEST
of the games best pitches in King Felix. Either Los Angeles or Seattle will win the division, and it won't be close. The Oakland Athletics always have a solid team, and roster one of the best young pitchers in baseball in Sonny Gray. Still,
the loss of Josh Donaldson to Toronto will haunt them, and they'll fail to produce enough runs to compete for the division. On the cellar of the AL West will be the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros. The Rangers lost Yu Darvish to Tommy John surgery this spring, which will cripple their season, while the Astros are still waiting for their young players, such as George Springer, to have a breakout year.
1. Angels 2. Mariners 3. Athletics
4. Astros 5. Rangers

SPORTING KC Graham Zusi to miss time due to hamstring strain I PAGE 8B
COMMENTARY Ritch Price continues to get more out of his ballclub
Shane Jackson
@jacksonshane3
Players moved out of the way for junior left-hander Ben Krauth in the postgame huddle after Kansas had knocked off then No. 18 Texas Tech 7-4 on Friday night in Lubbock, Texas. The players knew what was about to come.
KANS
Krauth had just pitched Kansas to victory in his first Big 12 start. Kansas went on to drop the next two games to ultimately lose the series, but regardless, that weekend series in Rip Griffin Park proved Kansas won't go quietly in Big 12 play.
It has become Price's trademark postgame celebration with his winning pitcher after a great performance.
Price then took a few steps forward, and the 13-year Kansas skipper leaped up and gave the junior southpaw a good, old fashioned chest bump.
A Kansas base runner rounds first base after a hit toward center field against Central Michigan. The Jayhawks will travel to Shocker territory in Wichita today.
"You get the first one of the year," coach Ritch Price said.
Because as long as number two is the skipper, this team is in very good hands.
The layhawks may not make any noise in the postseason this year, but that doesn't mean the season was a failure.
After winning nine consecutive Big 12 games to finish 2014, the Jayhawks finished third in the conference, despite being picked last in the preseason poll. This year the coaches knew better than to pick this team last; the preseason poll had Kansas tied for seventh.
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
Price has another young team to manage this year, but fortunately for his sake, he also has a veteran, savvy offense to mask the inexperience.
In his 12 completed seasons, Price has posted nine 30-or more-win seasons, including a 42 win season in 2006. Just three times Price has failed to reach 30 wins; but those were typically younger teams.
Edited by Jordan Fox
Kansas stays in state to take on WSU
But the Jayhawks lost their weekend rotation to the MLB draft, forcing inexperienced arms like Krauth and freshman Blake Weiman to fill those slots. Due to the younger arms, Kansas has lost four of it's five three-game weekend series, meaning chest bumps from the Kansas skiiper have become rare.
On March 15, Price became the second Kansas manager to reach 400 wins. His 400th victory at Kansas came in the only weekend series Kansas has won this year, in the series clinching Sunday win against Big Ten foe Michigan. After picking up two more wins since, Price is now just 37 wins away from becoming the winningest coach in Kansas baseball history.
Before you jump off the Price bandwagon, keep in mind Price is no Charlie Weis or Bonnie Henrickson, in fear of losing his job. In fact, it's just the opposite. If Price even finishes sixth, this may be one of his best jobs as the Kansas manager.
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
The Kansas baseball team will take a short break from Big 12 conference play for a single game against the Wichita State Shockers (11-16) in Wichita today.
The Jayhawks (10-17) are coming off of a weekend series at Texas Tech where they came out victorious in the first game but could not take the series as they dropped the final two.
"We were right there in it." said senior Blair Beck.
Beck and the rest of the Jayhawks offense out-batted the 18th ranked Red Raiders by nine hits but the team struggled at turning their opportunities into runs. Although the series did not end how the Jayhawks would have liked, pitching showed improvement as a complement to the hot bats.
"As hitters we need to walk into the ballpark expecting to score a lot of runs so that we can give our pitchers a little bit of breathing room," said Beck, "As for the pitching staff, we just need to get the ball to [Stephen] Villines in the eighth and as a team we need to stay together, stick to the plan, keep working hard and I think the results will take care of itself."
HEAD-TO-HEAD:
The Jayhawks came out on top in the most recent meeting against the Shockers. Kansas traveled down to Wichita on April 29, 2014 and went home with a 10-3 victory. Recent history favors the Jayhawks, as they have beaten the Shockers eight of their last 10 meetings.
On the topic of recent history, Wichita State has struggled against Big 12 competition this season. The Shockers previous four games have all ended in losses to Big 12 opponents Oklahoma State and TCU. Oklahoma State won their single
game series 8-3 while TCU won all three games of their series, outscoring the Shockers 33-7.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Wichita State junior Sam Hilliard is hot from the batter's box as of late. The pitcher and first baseman is 11-28 in the Shockers last 10 games with three doubles, one home run and 11 RBI's.
As far as the last 10 games for the Jayhawks go, Beck and fellow senior Connor McKay are currently on 10 and 15 game hitting streaks respectively.
First pitch is at 6:30 p.m. at Eck Stadium in Wichita as the Jayhawks try to gain some mid-week momentum to carry back into Big 12 play.

MARCUS MORRIS
During his time at Kansas, Marcus Morris provided size alongside his brother Markieff and was a top scorer on the team. Marcus was the more complete offensive player in college, and probably was the better shooter, although his brother did shoot better from behind the arc. Morris was also known for his posterizing slams, which certainly endeard him to the KU faithful. Morris was named Big 12 player of the year in his junior season, finishing as a second-team All American selection, although the Jayhawks would suffer a disappointing defeat in the NCAA Tournament.

City Commission candidates weigh in on KU student issues
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmantheman2011
Boley
---
The Kansan asked the city commissioner candidates the following question: What issue or issues do you think KU students should be paying attention to in the campaign?
Rasmussen
PETER KOELBERT
LESLIE SODEN
There are three issues in particular I think that students might be interested in:
Schum
- Fiber optic Internet service.
I would like to see the city explore offering it as a standard utility, like water/trash/sewer utilities.
YOUR NAME
- Safe rental housing for all students, regardless of income.
- Public safety issues — for example, keeping people out of the criminal justice system for minor non-violent infractions.
I can think of three important issues potentially affecting students at KU.
STAN RASMUSSEN
are discussing this issue.
Because nearly all students live in an apartment or other rental property, I think they should be watching how the new rental inspection program is being implemented by the city and how the candidates
The sales tax, which supports the bus service, will expire in four years. I think students who use the bus service should be paying attention to what candidates are saying about that issue.
Adding bike lanes, expanding the trail network and making our community more walkable is another issue that can have direct impact on students. What are the candidates saying about this issue?
STUART BOLEY
University students should be concerned about the government of the city where you spend at least nine months of the year. The Lawrence City Commission establishes the tax levy, which all students pay while [they] are in Lawrence. If [they] rent, [they] pay the property tax through their rent. And every time you purchase anything in Lawrence, you pay the sales tax, a significant portion of which is levied by the city. Students should be confident [their] tax dollars
are effectively and efficiently spent.
MATTHEW HERBERT
As a college student living on a fixed budget, you need to keep close watch on your\ city commission and the ways in which they hit you in your wallet. Oftentimes, [because] college students are not business owners or property owners, nor are they in a position to be big financial donors to campaigns, their needs can be widely ignored by candidates. KU students need to find out which candidates are serving a handful of developers and which candidates are actually aiming to serve the community as a whole.
BOB SCHUMM
We recently passed a "rental registration" ordinance that will allow for mandatory inspections of apartments and rental houses to insure that the life safety parts of our code are followed. That will allow for a higher level of safety for our student population.
City Commissioner and candidate Dr. Terry Riordan did not reply prior to press time.

Oubre's career at the University of Kansas got off to a slow start, as he scored just 15 total points in his first seven games. But ultimately, he would become one of Kansas' key players. Oubre

Kansas freshman Kelly Oubre Jr. will enter the 2015 NBA Draft, the University announced on Wednesday.
In addition to the announcement, Oubre said, "It's always been a dream to play in the NBA. This is an opportunity to play against the best in the world and expand my game in hopes of someday becoming one of those great players."

"This should come as really no surprise to anybody that has followed us," said Kansas coach Bill Self. "Kelly came in being well thought of by NBA personnel, and certainly nothing has changed in that regard."
finished the year having scored 14 or more points 11 times, grabbing seven or more rebounds 11 times and recording three double-doubles.
Oubre averaged 9.3 points and 5.0 rebounds per game at Kansas, scoring a career-high 25 points against TCU on March 12. Oubre started 27 games for the Jayhawks, according to the press release, as Kansas won its 11th straight Big 12 title.

KANSAN: Do you believe that the overall use of alcohol will drop according to this survey?
MCKEE: I think it is very likely that we will see a decrease in some of the numbers. I think that there are some really great passive campaigns right now and active campaigns especially with bystander intervention programs like the Step Up Campaign that is from the office of the Vice Provost of Student Affairs. It talks about students stepping in when anything happens, which could be as easy as when you see a friend that has overserved themselves and being like, "Hey, why don't we go home and order some pizza," or just doing something else to help someone if they need it.
KANSAN: What worries you most about alcohol use by KU students?
MCKEE: Over winter break, the city of Lawrence was named the most hungover city in America and unfortunately many of our students have taken that as a source of pride. Even last night (March 25), I was giving a presentation to about 380 female students, and when I mentioned that [the title of most hungover city.] they were like "woo, yeah, that is awesome," and that seems like a very myopic point of view to have.
What worries me is that, especially our first- and second-year students, but all students in general, is they are not putting as much value into their college experience. They are not understanding that what you do as college students stays with you forever, whether that be an image of you on social media that will never go away once it's out there or an MIP, DUI
or perhaps just a decrease in your GPA that is caused by not going to class because you were drinking. These things do matter. Being named the most hungover city in the U.S. is not a point of pride; it is something we should be embarrassed about. It might be my biggest worry that our students do not understand the experience we are privileged to have at KU if not taken a little bit more seriously, might be missed. The stuff that happens here does matter. This is not a five-year party. This is real life with training wheels because regardless if you are ready, they are coming off when you graduate.
MCKEE: I thought of when I graduated from KU with both my undergraduate degree and my master's degree. When I put my resume out there to potential employers, they were impressed I graduated from KU. I don't want that to go away. This is not a notorious party school. My worry is that if we relish that honor too much, we buy into it and start behaving in that capacity, it's going to mean something different to have a degree from KU.
KANSAN: On the topic of the hangover story, what was your initial reaction to that title?
KANSAN: We previously discussed the deaths of Jason Wren and other KU students who have died from drinking. Why is it that KU as a community forgets so quickly about these deaths?
see things happen to very close friends, there is still an assumption it will never happen to them: "It's never going to happen to me, it's never going to happen to one of my friends or someone on my floor." So a lot of it is denial. A lot of people want to deny the frugality of their own life. This is an incredibly exciting part of life. You are preparing for the rest of your life. It is difficult to think that is going to be over on any given weekend, honestly.
When we have people who are pushing those limits, there are plenty of people who go to the hospital with very high blood alcohol concentrations. It used to be that 50 percent of people who went to the hospital with blood alcohol concentrations of 0.3 or above would die.Now we are
seeing people achieve 0.3 or above more frequently, which is crazy. When people are constantly pushing the limits, and with seemingly not a death or no immediate severe consequences; they are going to keep going down that road.
KANSAN: What would you like to see the University do in collaboration with the city of Lawrence to help fix the over-drinking culture in Lawrence?
MCKEE: Pie in the sky, I would love to live in a city where our young people were not taken advantage of. It is astounding to me that a place can continue to exploit young people by knowingly serving underage individuals. I would love to see that stop but I doubt it would happen.
What I think it would be more possible if the people in the city and the people at KU could at least get together and talk about possible policy changes that could make our campus safer and the community. Not just for KU students but for everybody and just understand that having a working relationship is not a competitive thing. Alcohol abuse is not a KU specific problem and it is not something that KU people have to own, it is something that our entire Lawrence community needs to own. To say that it is not a Lawrence issue and only a KU issue and the vice versa is unrealistic. We need people to just get around the table and say what kinds of policy changes are possible.

First meeting on Ninth Street Corridor set for April 8
asma FOR YOU LOVE
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
The first community engagement meeting to discuss how the Ninth Street Corridor Project can best cater to the community will take place next week.
asma
the club
The meeting will be April 8 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at New York Elementary School at 936 New York St. and is open to the public.
The area on Ninth Street between Delaware and Massachusetts streets will get a facelift after the Art Center received an ArtPlace America Grant in June 2014 to revive the Ninth Street corridor. The firm, El Dorado Inc., is heading the project, and project lead Josh Shelton said this is a perfect opportunity to weave art into infrastructure.
"We have the unique opportunity to integrate art into the infrastructure of the street improvement," Shelton said. "We have the unique opportunity to work with Tristan Surtees and Charles Blanc with Sans Façon. They have good experience working with municipalities and working with these art and infrastructure projects."
Shelton said he and the Sans Facon firm from Canada are focused on learning about the people of Lawrence before making decisive plans.
"They're focused on social engagement and they're curious about Lawrence and East Lawrence," Shelton said. "We're interested to understand the role this project will become. Their practice seeks to understand a place and the people of a
place before the art emerges. They don't bring any preconceived notions and neither do we."
The City of Lawrence added $3 million to the $500,000 grant awarded to the Art Center. The project area will see implementation of new infrastructures and improvements to the roads and sidewalks.
Chair of the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission and member of the citizen advisory committee for the Ninth Street Corridor Katherine Simmons said the grant money is specifically for reviving the streetscape, which could lead to more growth in that area.
"That doesn't involve any arts-based business or anything like that; that would perhaps happen naturally
on its own," she said. "This project is only relevant to that actual streetscape."
To ensure the community is mirrored in the project, El Dorado Inc. put together a citizen advisory committee. It will have its first open meeting April 8, and meetings will span through November. The first meeting will be presented by architecture and landscaping firm Coen + Partners from Minneapolis, who will be working with local civil engineering firm Bartlett & West. The second meeting, April 9, will be with Sans Facon and El Dorado Inc. A full list of meetings can be found on the City of Lawrence website.
"I think the nature of the workshop will be input from the public and the people that live in the neighborhood
to better understand the dynamics that surround Ninth Street Project," Shelton said.
The City of Lawrence posted a PDF on its site that reads in part, "The project will create a multi-modal connection utilizing accessible complete streets' concepts, upgraded amenities, and a new model of urban infrastructure that will enable local artists to engage our community in ways inspired by the revolutionary and counterculture spirit of Lawrence and our favorite iconoclasts John Brown, Langston Hughes, and William S. Burroughs."
Shelton said while the City of Lawrence would likely hope to connect East Lawrence to downtown Lawrence, he's talked to many community members whod rather see
a more community-based project.
"There's a diverse set of perspectives on how the corridor should function and what role it should play in Lawrence," he said. "I've talked to a lot Lawrence residents who'd like to see it as a community asset. It might be a quiet, more community-based area where kids could play or people could meet."
The implementation date is set for late 2015 or early 2016, and Shelton said moving forward, they'll be taking it step-by-step.
"We have to look at what's appropriate for Nintti Street, block by block," he said. "It's going to have to be a very site-specific and sensitive project for the urban context."

University to offer more intersession courses
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolNews
The University is working to offer more accelerated intersession classes, or four-week courses over winter or summer break, following the success of these courses over the last two years.
The William Allen White School of journalism has been "the primary stakeholder" in intersession courses, said Julie Loats, director of the Center for Online and Distance Learning. Now she is working toward
incorporating more subjects. "The more central discussion started about two years ago in trying to build a broader portfolio of courses and to do promotion and communication about those courses so everybody knows that this is an option instead of it being a very decentralized department-by-department type of strategy." Loats said.
Loats said the intersession courses offered online provide flexibility for students who want to get a head start on graduation.
"The idea is that our winter break is relatively long and so students [are] able to utilize that time they're otherwise not taking a course to make progress toward the degree," Loats said.
The journalism school began offering intersession courses during winter of the 2013-14 school year. Because of the shorter time period, these classes were more theoretical and fact-based, like Ethics and Professional Practice, instead of practicebased courses. Most of them were required for a degree.
According to a University press release, many more students than expected expressed interest in the shorter-term courses.
"What we've seen is far more demand for the minimester than can be accommodated," journalism Dean Ann Brill said in the press release. "Our students have appreciated the opportunity to complete some of their core courses online, and our faculty have enjoyed shaping their courses for a more intense learning environment."
Although Loats said the
courses offer flexibility, she also said the courses are just as difficult as a typical 16-week course during a fall or spring semester.
"They're not really selfpaced in that there's a sense of community in those courses and [professors get] students to interact with other students," Loats said. "You really have to work on a four-week course every day."
Loats wants to change the perception that online courses or shortened courses are easy.

Citizens are not represented by politicians
Sebastian Schoneich
@ThingsSebiThink
I've always been cynical about our politicians' supposed adherence to their professional mandate: that of serving as representatives of the people over whom they politically preside. It is rare for me to ever think, "This politician is truly interested in accurately representing the will of the people." In fact, I find myself thinking the exact opposite on a regular basis. Pick up the newspaper on any day and there is bound to be some political headline that is worthy of a dejected sigh.
Politicians fail to accurately represent us for several reasons. The first and foremost problem in American politics is that political decisions boil down to "A versus B" — Left versus Right, Democrats versus Republicans. Since when have there only been
two sides to an issue?
Preventing a broader and healthier discussion about political issues is a major structural failure of our political system. I would even say that our political freedoms are tightly restricted (i.e., we don't have political freedom) by the unshakable nature of the two-party system. On the voting ballot, we are essentially given only two options to choose from because, at the end of the day, the two existing parties are so historically well set that only a major political revolution could change the system.
are forced to choose the better of only two less-than-optimal parties. I say this because I find it impossible to believe that all those who vote for Democrats uphold all of the Democratic platform's stances, and the same for the GOP. If you like chocolate/vanilla marble cake, but the cake store only offers a chocolate/caramel combo and a lemon/vanilla combo, at the end of the day you give up and pick the chocolate one because you like chocolate slightly more than vanilla. This is no commendable sign for American politics.
This powerful two-party system prevents accurate representation of the people because it offers merely two choices for political representation. I'd say that most Americans do not even agree with their politicians on many issues, yet they vote for them simply because they
Another reason our representatives don't accurately represent us lies in money — big money. Though not often empirically provable, it is well known that politicians frequently exchange political favors for monetary support. In Washington D.C., this is
called lobbying. How sad is it that the 320 million people of this country have not pushed for political reform in order to prevent the massive influence that money ("the one percent") has on politics? One reason is that big money does its best to prevent such a political change from happening. Ironic, right?
Finally, we are never well represented because our citizens are rarely asked for their opinions on political matters. In Switzerland, citizens are allowed to demand for binding referendums at all levels of government as long as they collect enough signatures to do so. This results in their frequent participation in voting on political issues. What a wonderfully democratic and fair system, in which citizens' opinions matter more than in most other countries. If only the U.S. had something similar
- but it constitutionally
does not. Sure, we are allowed to write to our representatives petitioning for this and that, but how often does that actually do anything?
So, how might we go about changing the system? Well, long story short, we need to talk loudly about these problems and hope for change through generational shift in a notoriously stubborn profession. Although it is true that this country provides for many freedoms that are elsewhere impossible to obtain, its political system does a terrible job of living up to its supposed democratic ideals. It is structurally not fit for accurately reflecting the will of the people, and that weak structure allows for the invasion of unwanted opportunists.

UBER
SAVE
uberX
IN KANSAS
Uber sent an e-mail to its users stating, "The Kansas State Legislature is considering a bill TODAY that would make it impossible for Uber to operate in the state."
CECILIA CHO/KANSAN
Uber should adhere to Kansas' requirements
Cecilia Cho
@ceciliache92
Users of the popular transportation app Uber received an email from Uber Kansas on Monday evening urging users to contact their legislators to "save the service in Kansas." Lawmakers are hoping to enforce stricter regulations on the company, which to some people's disappointment may force the GPS app out of the state.
If the proposed bill SB 117 passes, it would require background checks on the drivers, regular inspections of cars and insurance for all transportation companies. Additionally, the bill would charge drivers $250. "But if Uber pays an annual fee of $10,000, [then] the driver
permit will only cost $150," as reported by Fox4KC.
The bill has caused a bit of a stir in the state with drivers and users voicing their opposition to the proposed regulations last Thursday. UberX users, in a testimony on Thursday, "praised the service as superior to regular taxis and said it lets them live in Kansas City and get around town easily without a car."
But The Kansas City Star reported Regulated Industries Division Manager Jim Ready had investigators randomly check 16 Uber drivers during the Big 12 Tournament, finding that "none had the required certification, and 10 of those drivers said they would take cash rather than a credit card payment through the UberX smartphone app, which is illegal."
If Uber users and drivers wish to continue services in Kansas, they must adhere to the regulations proposed by Kansas legislators.
When relying on a random individual to drive you and your friends or family around town. I would hope that you realize your life is, quite literally, in this driver's hands. Without proper background checks, insurance or car inspections, a plethora of issues could go wrong: your driver could turn out to be a lunatic intentionally endangering your life; your driver could sexually assault or harass you; the brakes in the driver's car could stop working and they failed to realize that due to the lack of a vehicle inspection. For all these incidents, though worst-case scenarios, you would be held completely responsible, not Uber.
CBS News reports several instances of Uber drivers being accused of sexually assaulting or harassing their riders. Some examples include a woman in New Delhi accusing her driver of rape, and an Uber driver in Chicago being arrested
on "suspicion of kidnapping a drunk passenger" and proceeded to take the user to a hotel with intent of sexual assault.
Uber's Terms and Conditions emphasize that it "does not provide transportation...or function as a transportation carrier." Rather, they are only servicing your requests to schedule transportation. As a result, Uber cannot be blamed for any issues that arise during your ride. The terms and conditions continue to state that the company does not guarantee the suitability, safety or ability of third party providers." So, hypothetically, if your driver decides to drive their car into a wall, the only individual you can blame is yourself because you are acknowledging "that you may be exposed to situations involving third-party providers that are potentially unsafe, offensive, harmful to minors, or otherwise
objectionable..."
The main problem with those opposing stricter regulations for Uber is that if you relax the rules for Uber, then you must subject all transportation services in Kansas to these same standards. You can't pick and choose which companies follow these regulations. However, if all taxi/driving companies weren't required to have background checks, proper insurance or vehicle inspections, then many more riders' lives could potentially be in danger, intentional or not. If Uber chooses to pull out of Kansas because they can't pay fees or deal with "extra hurdles" that are necessary for their drivers, then I say good riddance. Rely on different modes of transportation, as there are plenty of other services that are more dependable.

Lauryn Hill's album 'basically flawless'
RYAN WRIGHT
@ryanwaynewright
Every year, the Library of Congress selects 25 recordings to add to its recording registry. The Library bases its selections on whether a recording is culturally, historically or aesthetically significant. One of the recordings chosen this year is Lauryn Hill's 1998 album, "The Misededucation of Lauryn Hill."
After the Fugees split in 1997, Hill embarked on a solo career. A year later, she released her first and only studio album, "The
Throughout the album Hill touches on many different themes such as love, fame and religion. However, one of the most touching songs on the album comes on the fourth song, "To Zion."
Hill tells the story of her pregnancy with her first child, Zion. Many people told her to rethink having the baby and encouraged
Miseducation of Lauryn Hill."
emcee. Most of the album is a mixture of Hill singing and rapping, but there are a few tracks, such as "Lost Ones" and "Final Hour" that feature Hill's profound technical rapping ability.
Hill isn't only a talented singer, but also a phenomenal rapper. She can hold her own on the mic with just about any
The sheer amount of passion Hill puts into the vocals of this song is incredible, and the seriousness of this topic gets across to the listener. You can hear the sadness in her voice as she sings about how people told her to rethink her pregnancy, but you can also hear the joy she found after she gave birth.

time.
The production on the album is equally fantastic. It features traditional-sounding hip-hop beats, but it also has production that features live instrumentation, such as harp, trombone and flute. One little-known fact is the 13th track, "Everything is Everything," includes background piano from John Legend, who was virtually unknown at the
To put it simply, the album is an absolute joy to listen to. Every song is well-produced, well-sung and well-rapped. The album as a whole is generally well crafted.
There's a reason this album became the first hip-hop album to win Album of the Year at the Grammys in 1999. It also earned Hill the Grammys for best new artist, best female R&B vocal performance; best R&B song and best R&B album that year. It's basically flawless, even 17 years later.
Many would say "The Misededucation of Lauryn Hill" is one of the greatest albums by a female hip-hop artist, but it's more than that. It's one of the greatest albums released by any artist. Period.

Lauryn Hill performs in Philadelphia on July 4, 2012. Twenty-five sound recordings spanning from 1890 to 1999 were added to the Library of Congress National Recording Registry on March 25. This year, Hill's 1998 album, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" was added to the library. Each year, the library chooses recordings that are "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."
Editor's note: In addition to reviewing new album releases, the Kansan will now introduce a new feature: Throwback Thursday. This feature will allow for reviews of older albums or films that have remained culturally significant or are reappearing in the news. This is the first installation of Throwback Thursday.

Jay Z's streaming service could change music scene
+
Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
BRAD BARKET/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jay Z might just have the right idea. He unveiled his new high-quality music streaming service, "Tidal," with the intent to change the way the world consumes music, and he has an impressive list of top-tier musicians, a snazzy marketing campaign and audiophiles on his side.
Jay Z performs at the Third Global Citizen Festival at Central Park in New York on Sept. 27, 2014. Madonna, Rihanna, Beyonce and Jay Z are among the A-List musicians who are co-owners of the streaming service Tidal. Kanye West, Daft Punk, Alicia Keys, Jack White and Nicki Minaj also announced that they are co-owners of the streaming service at an event on March 30 in New York City.
The long-time rapper and businessman enlisted his wife, Beyoncé, Kanye West, J. Cole, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Jack White, Alicia Keys, Daft Punk, Coldplay, Jason Aldean and even Madonna to the announcement in New York City on Monday afternoon.
But before they took the stage, they had already begun an epic marketing campaign to their millions of followers.
Each of the 16 artists at the announcement — along with some others including Jaden Smith — changed their Twitter and Facebook pictures to a solid aqua square in support of the service, which is owned by Norwegian music tech company Aspiro. The impressive reach of the new service includes the over 13 million followers, thanks to Beyoncé, and another 11 million from Kanye West.
Here's the catch: It's going to cost users at least $10 a month. Annually, that $120 will essentially get the consumer what they can find on Spotify, along with some
The high-end option — $20 a month — is more interesting though, especially for audiophiles. With this, the listener will get "lossless" audio at 1,411 kBps, which is more than four times what Spotify (325 kBps) and iTunes (256 kBps) streaming services can offer.
promised exclusive content and curated playlists, which will presumably come from artists themselves. (Jason Aldean and Coldplay have made their own that they released with the initial drop.)
Each founding artist the ones standing on stage Monday were offered a 3-percent share in the
Although the mere handful of artists who are starting this movement don't exactly need the money from streaming, it's easy to believe this is about more than themselves or their money in the move to Tidal. It's about more than just these 16 founders, even if it's a money grab; they're trying to save art in music form.
"(If)...the very least we did was make people wake up
and try to improve the free versus paid system, and promote fair trade, then it would be a win for us anyway." Jay Z told Billboard in an exclusive interview.
Though the company's declaration says it's an "artist majority owned company," outside of the 3-percent share, it's not exactly certain what artists are getting from the service by jumping in early. Though Jay Z has promoted transparency through his campaign for Tidal, there are still a lot of questions to be asked of the service, which will rival Spotify.
company in exchange for exclusive content, according to Billboard. Jay Z bought Aspiro earlier this year for $56 million just a couple of months after it had started.
But as Jay Z also said in the same interview, some people are paying $6 for water when they can get it for free straight out of the tap. Some may see music in the same light in today's society. If they can keep streaming for free on Spotify or elsewhere online, the only question the music world will have left is, "Why pay?"
Regardless, this move makes sense for music. The
streaming industry is still an untapped goldmine, despite what Spotify has already been able to accomplish. But artists aren't getting their fair share, there's no doubt about that.

Cynthia Lennon, first wife of John Lennon, dies of cancer
Julian Lennon posted a moving video tribute to his late mother with a song he had written in her honor.
"She was a lovely lady who I've known since our early days together in Liverpool," he added. "She was a good mother to Julian and will be missed by us all, but I will always have great memories of our times together."
The divorce prompted Paul McCartney to pen the Beatles classic "Hey Jude" to help Julian cope with his parents' separation. He changed the name Julian to lude in the song.
In her autobiography, Cynthia described John as jealous and insecure. She said he hit her once after she danced with Stu Sutcliffe, then a member of the band.
Author Hunter Davies, who wrote the only authorized Beatles biography in 1968, described Cynthia as a "lovely woman" who was ill-treated by her famous husband.
rier death was announced on the website and Twitter account of her son, Julian Lennon, and confirmed by his representative.
"The news of Cynthia's passing is very sad," McCartney wrote on his blog Wednesday.
The line "Take a sad song and make it better" is about the Lennons' broken marriage and its impact on their son.
"Peace and love to Julian Lennon God bless Cynthia love Ringo and Barbaraxx," Ringo Starr tweeted.
"You gave your life for me, you gave your life for love," it begins, showing footage of him as a young boy with his parents. It also shows footage of Cynthia with John during the early days of Beatlemania.
Cynthia remarried several times.
He said she wasn't at all like her husband, but was "quiet and reserved and calm" and "not a nippy at all."
Ono wrote on Facebook that she was saddened by Lennon's death.
The couple divorced in 1968 after John Lennon started his much publicized relationship with Japanese artist Yoko Ono. They had spent 10 years together as a couple.

CHRONICA LEMNIN
But in a 2005 interview with "Good Morning America" she recalled his charisma as well.
Cynthia and John Lennon met at art school in Liverpool in 1957 and married shortly before the Beatles shot to worldwide fame. Julian was their only child together.
He said their friends at art school never thought the relationship would last because they were so different.
GREGORY KATZ
Associated Press
A statement from Julian's representative said Cynthia died at her home in Mallorca "following a short but brave battle with cancer". It said Julian was at his mother's bedside throughout.
LONDON — Cynthia Lennon, the first wife of former Beatles guitarist John Lennon, died of cancer Wednesday at her home in Spain. She was 75.
"She was a great person and a wonderful mother to lulian," she wrote.
"You couldn't resist being around him," she said. "You couldn't resist watching what he was up to. I mean, he was a total rebel. Everybody was amazed by him."
"The love you left behind will carry on," Julian, 51, sings in a style influenced by his late father.

Who has been the best golfer this season for the Jayhawks?
BIRS
ALE AT
E.COM
Nick Couzin
@NCouz
BEN WELLE
The Kansas men's golf team is starting to build up a huge slate of victories after taking the crown in the Desert Shootout in Arizona over spring break.
One golfer who has really stood out this season and has had particular success on the fairways and on the greens is junior Ben Welle from Moorhead, Minn. Before he came to Kansas to play golf, he attended Scottsdale Community College in Arizona and played on their team.
There he learned to perfect his game by playing on some of the toughest courses that college golfers, even pros on the PGA Tour, have played on, so Ben already came in with the experience of playing tough golf.
This year, he exploded on the scene of excellence, sitting at the top of most matches. His best finish in the spring season was in the Desert Shootout where he finished with a three-round total score of 211 (72, 68, 71). He did one better in the fall at the Price's Give 'Em Five Invitational, where he had a season best score of 206 (67, 69, 70).
"Ben has been very steady all year," Bermel said. "Had some good finishes in the fall, and seems to be playing fairly well as of late. He has played in all the events this year, along with Chase Hanna."
Welle is second on the team with rounds even or under par with 13. He had nine under par rounds and four at even par. Welle has competed in every match this season. In the nine tournaments Welle has played in, he has been the top individual finisher on the team in three of them. Coach Jamie Bermel commented on Welle's play this season.
his game to continue to put him in every match,and that's what really makes Welle stand out.
You can't go wrong with this pick if Welle has his coach behind him. Bermel has enough confidence in
"THIS YEAR,HE EXPLODED ON THE SCENE OF EXCELLENCE SITTING AT THE TOP OF MOST MATCHES."
Welle holds the second spot on the team five rounds in the 60s, where if a golfer scores in the 60s when the round is over he usually finishes under par. Welle's top individual finish was tied for eighth, when the team won the tournament outright. Ben Welle has been the best golfer so far for the Jayhawks. As of late, he and Chase Hanna are the hottest golfers on the team, so there is no better choice than to go with him.

BROCK DROGOSCH
Coach Jamie Bermel has begun his long trek with his team to make an NCAA Tournament, something that has been anything but a regular occurrence for the KU men's golf team.
To be an effective team, as Bermel preaches, you need five guys who are going to shoot low scores day in and day out. But you also need those top guys who are going to consistently deliver top performances.
Chase Hanna and Ben Welle are without a doubt the two most tested and talented golfers on the team, but two men do not make a competitive team. The best golfer on the KU men's golf team has been that because he's stepped up in a spot that needed filling, and one that has gelled the whole
team together, as evidenced by their win at the Desert Shootout, their first event win in two years.
Brock Drogosch, a redshirt freshman from Windermere, Fla., has already played in U.S. amateur tournaments and distinguished himself as an exceptional golfer and student in high school. In his first full year of college golf, he's been a perfect fit on Bermel's card. In 18 rounds, he averages 72.6, has shot three rounds in the 60s, and has had eight rounds under par. All of those marks are second to Hanna and Welle.
Drogosch finished tied for second in the Desert Shootout. He never shot above a 71, and just an overall 10 under par. That performance propelled the Jayhawks to their first tournament win since 2013, and Bermel was not shy with his praise of the young golfer.
Bermel has praised Drogosch's strength and conditioning,the smoothness of his swing and his development in just two years of collegiate golf. In fact,you'd be hard-pressed to ask Bermel a question about who is the most
important golfer on the team and not hear Drogosch's name.
"IN 18 ROUNDS, HE AVERAGES 72.6 HAS SHOT THREE ROUNDS IN THE GOS AND HAS HAD EIGHT ROUNDS UNDER PAR."
While Drogosch is not the most talented, experienced or recognizable, a golf team doesn't revolve around two people. In order to have a successful team, you need a full platoon of guys who are confident and shooting well. When Drogosch plays better, the whole队 plays better. Drogosch's two lowest rounds have come in two of Kansas' three best finishes.
He may not be the most talented or the most experienced,but he's certainly the most important.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"It gives you full freedom...it doesn't back you into a corner going into the draft. You can go in and you can take the best player."
Chiefs coach Andy Reid during the NFL Annual Meeting
FACT OF THE DAY
The Kansas City Chiefs have not selected a wide receiver in the first round of the NFL draft in more than four years.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. When was the last time the Chiefs dratted a wide receiver in the first round of the NFL Draft?
A: 2011, Pittsburgh WR Jonathan Baldwin
THE MORNING BREW

Analysts debate who Chiefs should select in draft
Chris Sitek
@ChrisSitek
With less than a month until the 2015 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs sit
at No. 18 in the first round. I wanted to look at potential prospects projected by NFL experts and my best fits for Kansas City this year. While moving forward, we have to look back at the Chiefs 2014 NFL draft and offseason moves.
Last draft, Kansas City selected Auburn defensive end Dee Ford at No. 23 in the first round. Other notable selections were Oregon running back DeAnthony Thomas at No.124 in the fourth round and Tennessee guard Zach Fulton at No. 193 in the sixth round, according to arrowheadpride.com.
This offseason was similarly
productive with the Chiefs adding wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, safety Tyvon Branch and guard Ben Grubbs; resigning defensive back Ron Parker and linebacker Justin Houston; and releasing wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, according to espn. go.com.
Now heading into the 2015 NFL Draft, the Chiefs have many options at No. 18 in the first round. According to NFL Draft Tracker, the Chiefs' biggest positions-of-need are offensive line, defensive line, wide receiver, cornerback and linebacker. There are a variety of opinions from the latest NFL mock draft, according to different analyses for ESPN. The NFL Network, CBS Sports and Fox Sports.
ESPN NFL draft analyst Todd McShay has the Chiefs selecting Missouri/Oklahoma receiver Doral Green-Beckham. Mel Kiper Jr., an
ESPN College draft analyst, has Arizona State receiver Jaelen Strong as the Chiefs' pick at No. 18.
Fox Sports senior national writer Peter Schrager also has Strong as the Chiefs first-round pick. Daniel Jeremiah, an NFL Network Analyst, has the Chiefs selecting Alabama safety Landon Collins, but CBS Sports NFL draft analyst Dane Brugler has Central Florida wide receiver Breshad Perriman as his prediction. Sports Illustrated NFL writer Chris Burke has the Chiefs selecting Mississippi State linebacker Benardrick McKinney, Terez A. Aylor, the Chiefs beat writer for the Kansas City Star, has the Chiefs selecting Iowa offensive lineman Brandon Scherff, according to kcchiefs.com
I agree with Kiper and Schrager and believe that the best first-round pick for the Kansas City Chiefs would be Strong. At 6-foot-2, 217
pounds with an arm length of 32,5 inches. Strong possesses the size needed for the NFL. With a 4.44 second 40-yard dash, he also has the speed to make an immediate impact on this Chiefs' roster.
Strong, a former transfer of Pierce Community College in Los Angeles, made an immediate impact for the Sun Devils as just a sophomore, tallying 75 catches for 1,122 yards, and seven touchdowns, quickly emerging as a top player for ASU. In 2014, Strong was First Team All Pac-12 and a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist with 82 receptions for 1,165 yards and 10 touchdowns, according to NFL.com and CBSsports.com.
I believe with these statistics. Strong has the potential to become an impact player for the Kansas City Chiefs.
FC Kansas City proves to be too much for Jayhawks
Edited by Samantha Darling
CHRIS SITEK
@ChrisSitek
Kansas women's soccer has been preparing all offseason for a successful 2015 season.
The Jayhawks are coming off of a successful 2014 season with a 5-3 conference and 15-6 overall record, good for third in the Big 12 conference. Additionally, the Jayhawks are coming off a spring exhibition win against Iowa 1-0.
The Jayhawks fell to FC Kansas City on Tuesday 2-0 in their second spring exhibition game. This loss made Kansas 0-3 in the spring exhibition series versus FC Kansas, losing 4-0 in 2013 and 3-1 in 2014.
The two key statistics upon analysis of this loss were the Jayhawks' inability to score the ball and the National Women's Soccer League's defending champions providing timely goals and stifling defense throughout the entirety of the game. These goals were scored from midfielder Erika Tymrak and forward Shea Groom.
Tymrak is coming off
successful 2013-2014 season as the NWSL Rookie of the Year, scoring six goals and four assists in 16 starts in 21 appearances on the season. Groom, a rookie Texas A&M product, was the No. 12 pick of the 2015 National Women's League Soccer Draft.
11
Kansas scored zero goals on a mere one attempt the whole game, but there were positive takeaways that came from this game. Consistently playing a professional team in FC Kansas City every year is helpful toward the Jayhawks' growth, especially since FC KC is the 2014 defending NWSL champion.
This match will only help prepare the Jayhawks to face the top teams of the Big 12 conference, such as West Virginia (16-2-4), Texas Tech (16-4-2) and Oklahoma State (10-10-1) last season. The Jayhawks will play Drake Friday at 7 p.m. at Rock Chalk Park and finish their exhibition season at Tulsa on Saturday, April 18, and at home against Creighton in their exhibition finale on Saturday, April 25.

Kansas track and field is set to travel back to Texas this weekend to compete in the Baylor Invitational in Waco, Texas. The team was in Texas last weekend, competing in Austin.

Kansas to travel to Waco to compete in Baylor Invitational
The Kansas track and field team will return to Texas this weekend, after competing in Austin last weekend. The Jayhawks will head down to Waco to compete in the Bavlor Invitational.
One of the Jayhawk athletes entering this weekend with a great deal of momentum, following strong performances at the Texas Relays, is Kansas senior hurdler Michael Stigler. He sealed a win in the 400-meter hurdles, finishing with a time of 48.44 seconds. That record-breaking mark was Stigler's personal best, a school record and the world-leading time
for the event this season. Stigler beat his previous personal best of 49.19 seconds, which was recorded two years ago at the 2013 NCAA Championships.
Stigler was awarded U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association National Player of the Week honors on Tuesday after his performance at the Texas Relays this past weekend. On Wednesday, Stigler was named the Big 12 Track and Field Athlete of the Week.
"It just shows that people are paying attention to the work I've been doing and exactly what I've been doing on the track," Stigler said about the award. "It's an honor, and it shows how good our coaching staff is here at KU."
Head coach Stanley Redwine
said he and the entire coaching staff was proud of Stigler's performance.
"He represents Kansas well," Redwine said. "It's well deserved for him, because his performance was outstanding."
The events will begin on Friday morning in Waco and conclude in the evening. Redwine said the competition should be strong, and said the meet will consist of a good number of Big 12 teams. Redwine also said athletes will be able compete in different events than they're used to.
"Some athletes ran on relay events at the Texas Relays will be able to run individual events at Baylor," Redwine said.

Kershaw allows 1 hit, unearned run for Dodgers
ALAN ESKEW Associated Press
Kershaw, the 2014 National League MVP and Cy Young Award winner, threw 45 pitches while facing 11 batters and gave up one hit and an unearned run. He'll next face the San Diego Padres on April 6.
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Clayton Kershaw and Yorduna Ventura each had their final outing in preparation for opening day, and the Los Angeles Dodgers and Kansas City Royals tied 4-4 Wednesday.
"I was still a little bit all over the place," Kershaw said. "I walked two guys in three innings. We don't want to do that. And then had a couple of hard hit balls right at guys. Definitely, room for improvement, but physically I feel good and ready to go. That's all you can ask for at this point."
Kershaw had a 1.61 ERA this spring. He gave up just 15 hits and struck out 22 in 22 1-3 innings this spring.
Brett Eibner homered twice for the Royals, including a two-run shot in the ninth to tie it. Eibner tops the club with five home runs, but will begin the season in the minors.
Ventura, who threw seven
no-hit innings against Seattle in his previous start, yielded two runs, one earned, and four hits in four innings.
The Dodgers played seven ties, a club spring training record.
Darwin Barney doubled and tripled for the Dodgers and scored on A.J. Ellis' third inning double.
STARTING TIME
Dodgers: Kershaw will be making his fourth consecutive opening-day start. "Clayton looked like a guy who was gearing up for opening day," catcher A.J. Ellis said. "It's always a challenge with him, pitching when he knows he has an expiration date on his game. There's really no reward at the end for him as far as wins and losses. You saw last year the way his spring regressed and then how he turned the corner on opening day. It's something about the adrenaline and the competition rush that takes him to another level. He's gotten to the point in his career, especially who he is and the stature that he has that spring training is probably not his favorite time of the year."
Royals: Ventura, who will start the Royals' opener Monday against the Chicago White Sox, threw 41 strikes in
GREINKE'S MINOR WORK
GREINKE'S MINOR WORK
RHP Zack Greinke threw
85 pitches and seven innings
in a minor league intrasquad
game. He allowed two runs,
both on homers, and five hits,
while striking out nine.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Dodgers: OF Andre Ethier was struck in the right elbow by White Sox LHP Carlos Rodon Tuesday. X-rays were negative.
HIGHLAND PARK DAY
Royals: RHP Luke Hochevar, who had reconstructive elbow surgery during last spring, will begin the season on the disabled list. He will likely be ready by early May. He pitched a flawless inning Wednesday.
HIGHLAND PARK DAY Kershaw and Royals RHP Chris Young, who gave up a home run to minor leaguer Travis Witherspoon in the seventh, are graduates of Dallas Highland Park High.
UP NEXT
Dodgers: A host of relievers will pitch against the Angels Thursday in Anaheim.
Royals: The Royals, who are off Thursday, will start RHP Edinson Volquez Friday against the Astros at Houston.

Rizzo hits 3-run homer as Cubs beat Brewers 11-7

CHRIS CARLSON/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Associated Press
CHRIS CARLSON/ASSOCIATED PRESS Chicago Cubs' Dexter Fowler celebrates in the dugout after being walked in during the third inning of a spring training baseball exhibition game against the Kansas City Royals in Mesa, Ariz., on March 17.
MESA, Ariz. — Anthony Rizzo hit a three-run homer off Kyle Lohse, and Jason Hammel allowed one run in five innings as the Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 11-7 Wednesday.
Tommy La Stella homered starting the third, Dexter Fowler walked, Jorge Soler singled and Rizzo sent an 0-2 pitch from Lohse over the left-field fence.
Fowler hit a two-run homer in the fourth off Lohse, who allowed seven runs, eight hits and four walks in four innings. Jorge Soler hit a two-run homer off Will Smith in the fifth.
Hammel gave up six hits, struck out five and walked none. The right-hander, who will pitch either the Cubs' second or third game, pronounced himself happy with the spring.
"I got the pitch counts up where they needed to be. I still felt really strong in the fifth today. That's pretty much all you can ask for — stay healthy and get ready." Hammel said.
An announced crowd of 13,375 at Sloan Park raised the Cubs' home total to 222,415, a major league spring training record that topped Chicago's total of 213,815 last year.
Fowler went 3-for-3 with four runs scored. Soler, La Stella and Matt Szczur all had two hits apiece.
For the Brewers, Logan Schafer was 3 for 4 with three RBIs. Scooter Gennett went 3 for 5 with two doubles, and Adam Lind doubled twice.
STARTING TIME
Brewers: Lohse, who gave up
three homers, is scheduled to start the season opener Monday against Colorado. He said he didn't have the feel for his changeup Wednesday but kept trying to work on it.
"It's not an, 'Oh well,'" he said. "It's, 'OK, let's think about what we need to work on for the next start."
In the longer view, he said he's healthy and ready to go.
"That's the most important thing. Except for this, I felt like every other outing was really solid," Lohse said. "This start was ugly, but you turn the page. The next one is the one that counts."
Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said he likes how Lohse has been pitching. Lohse entered the game with a 1.80 ERA this spring.
"I don't know how to explain today," Roenicke said. "Sometimes, your command just isn't there. Sometimes you're facing a pretty good team. He knows what he needs to do. We feel good with him opening up."
Cubs: Jon Lester is likely to throw about 100 pitches in the season opener Sunday night vs. St. Louis. Also, manager
Joe Maddon will soon decide on his fifth starter, choosing between Travis Wood and Edwin Jackson, with the other going to the bullpen.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Brewers: Ryan Braun sat out with a tight hamstring. The team hopes he'll be ready to go Thursday.
Cubs: OF Chris Denorfia could start the season on the disabled list with a hamstring injury. Also, outfielder Chris Coghlan is day to day with a stiff neck.
ROSTER MOVES
The Cubs optioned outfielder Junior Lake and pitchers Brian Schlitter and Zac Rosscup to Triple-A Iowa.
"I tried to impress upon these guys to stay ready because the call could come at any moment," Maddon said. "The guy who goes out there and continues to do his job and stays ready gets that call."
Chicago now has three position players competing for two spots, Maddon indicated. They are outfielders Ryan Sweeney and Szczur, and infielder Jonathan Herrera.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Matt Moulson and Matt Ellis scored 1:41 apart in the third period, and the Buffalo Sabres rallied for a 4-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night.
James van Riemsdyk, Eric Brewer and Nazem Kadri scored for Toronto (29-43-6), which squandered a chance to win three straight for the first time since a six-game run from Dec. 10-16. The Maple Leafs are 10-34-3 since.
The Sabres overcame a 3-1 second-period deficit and won their second straight, inching closer to moving out of last place. Zac Dalpe and Cody Hodgson also scored in a matchup of cross-border rivals that featured a predominant number of fans wearing Maple Leafs jerseys.
Ellis added an assist, and Brian Gionta set up two goals for Buffalo (22-47-8), which moved to within two points of 29th-place Arizona.
A large contingent of Sabres fans are openly rooting for Buffalo to finish 30th and be guaranteed a shot at selecting one of two highly touted draft prospects: Erie Otters center Connor McDavid or Boston University center Jack Eichel.
pair of key stops against Phil Kessel in the final minute.
Moulson tied it with a power-play goal 1:33 into the third period. Gionta started the play at the left boards and sent a no-look pass down low to Johan Larsson, who quickly fed the puck into the slot for Moulson's one-timer.
Ellis was set up by Nikita Zadorow, who sped up the right wing and sent a pass into the middle. Ellis cut across to draw out goalie Jonathan Bernier and shoveled the puck into the open left side.
While Ellis and his teammates celebrated, some Sabres fans joined their Maple Leafs counterparts by sitting quietly following the sudden turn of events.
The pro-losing group made its voices heard in Buffalo's previous home game, a 4-3
overtime loss to Arizona on Thursday. That's when notable cheers went up each time the Coyotes scored.
sabres players took offense, with defenseman Mike Weber calling it "a whole new low."
After Dalpe opened the scoring less than seven minutes in, the Maple Leafs scored the next three, capped by Kadri's goal at 13:24 of the second period.
Before the opening faceoff on Wednesday, fans were overheard chanting: "We want McDavid!" One fan had a banner that read: "Embrace The Tank," in reference to wanting Buffalo to bottom out.
Fans wearing Sabres jerseys in the upper bowl cheered when the Maple Leafs scored, and patted a banner stuck on the wall behind them that read: "#PRAY for McDAVID."
The Sabres responded 30 seconds later when Hodgson scored on a wraparound. It came after he gathered a loose puck behind the net after Andre Benoit's point shot sailed wide.

COMMENTARY Kelly Oubre Jr. made the right choice
One year ago yesterday, Andrew Wiggins declared for
Blair Sheade
@realblairsheady
the NBA draft. Everyone in the world knew Wiggins was going pro after his freshman year, but there was another freshman on the fence about leaving school early and entering into the NBA draft Joel Eimblii
No one knew if Embiid was going to stay another season or if he was taking his talents to the NBA. In the end, Embiid declared for the NBA draft and was picked third overall by the Philadelphia 76ers.
This season there was a similar discussion about freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr. Would he stay in Lawrence for another season or would he enter his name among all the great college basketball players in America? Ultimately, Oubre chose the NBA over his sophomore season.
It's a great idea for Oubre to make the leap into the professional basketball world. Nine times out of 10, an NBA prospect with his physical features, talent level and potential will go pro.
One scout told me Oubre was the best NBA prospect on the Jayhawks roster this season, over Cliff Alexander and Perry Ellis. The same scout said Oubre will be a top-10 pick, but he needs to improve his shooting consistency to make an impact at the next level.
Oubre shot 44 percent from the field, averaging nine points and five rebounded. Oubre struggled from behind the arc, where he only hit 32 three-pointers on 82 attempts.
Thirty-eight percent from three isn't terrible, but to become a star at the NBA level, Oubre will have to improve his shot. It looks like Oubre's jump shot is unconventional, but the NBA scout said Oubre's shot is a fine-looking stroke for a left-hander.
The NBA scout compared Oubre, at 6-foot-7 and with a wingspan well over 7 feet, to Indiana Pacers guard Paul George because they possess similar body structure, which teams love.
Oubre made a great decision not to rush into something he would regret. He said he consulted past players, such as Joel Embid, about how to handle the process and what to expect.
The 2014-15 season will be the last time fans see Oubre in a Kansas uniform, but he made the mature decision to continue working toward his degree. Over the past year, it's been a pleasure to cover Oubre, and he's shown nothing but maturity and class for the University of Kansas.
"Getting my degree from Kansas will be the biggest accomplishment of my life, bigger than making it to the NBA," Oubre said in the statement.

The Kansas baseball team traveled down to Wichita on Wednesday and left with a victory in a game that had everything.
Jayhawks started the game as well as they could have hoped for after scoring five runs in the top of the first. The half-inning saw three hits from the Jayhawks including a two-out grand-slam from senior Dakota Smith.
The Shockers were not impressed and answered the Jayhawks' scoring barrage with a four-run inning off of four hits. Jayhawks' starting pitcher junior Hayden Edwards had a game to forget as he was pulled before the end of the first inning and replaced by sophomore Sean Rackoski after a three RBI double by Wichita State junior Sam Hilliard.
Following a three-up, threedown inning by the Jayhawks, the Shockers replicated their first inning performance in the bottom of the second. The Shockers tied the game at 5-5 early in the inning and took
the lead after junior Ryan Tinkham hit a two-run shot over the center field fence.
Fans at Eck Stadium in Wichita saw a slight break in the action with a scoring

by sophomore Joven Afenir brought his team within one run.
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, the Shockers again responded with runs of their own. The Shockers took advantage of three wild pitches by Kansas freshman Casey Douglas, including two batters hit by pitches, to put four more runs on the board and lead 6-11.
Kansas junior Tommy Mirabelli put a dent in Wichita's lead in the top of the sixth with yet another home run to bring the game within three. However, the Shockers would respond yet again in the bottom of the inning with one run off two hits, making the game 8-12.
The Jayhawks kept fighting their way back into the game in the seventh with freshman Matt McLaughlin singling to right field and then scoring with help from a sacrifice fly from junior Blair Beck. For the first time in the game the Jayhawks wouldn't allow a response from the Shockers and held them to no hits or runs in the bottom half of the inning
The comeback continued
in the eighth as the Jayhawks turned the tables and took advantage of wild pitches of their own. After loading the bases, Smith found home after a pitch got behind the Shockers' catcher. Two batters later, McLaughlin would tie the game up with a two RBI single to right field to make the score 12-12 going into the bottom of the eighth.
The tie game held all the way to the end of regulation after the layhawks escaped the bottom of the ninth with two Shockers on base and no outs.
After an inning of free baseball, the Jayhawk sophomore Michael Tinsley started off on the eleventh inning with a leadoff double. Coach Ritch Price opted to play small ball and brought Tinsley home with two sacrifice bunts to take their first lead since the beginning of the game. The go-ahead run would turn out to be the game-winning run as the Shockers couldn't get anything going in the bottom of the eleventh inning, giving the Jayhawks a 13-12 road win.

MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN
The No. 23 Jayhawks (29-5, 0-3) will head to Stillwater, Okla., this weekend in an attempt to rebound after being swept by the Texas Longhorns last weekend. They Jayhawks will face off against the Oklahoma State Cowgirls (17-18, 1-2) in a three-game series that begins at 6 p.m. Thursday, continues at 5:30 p.m. Friday and concludes at 1 p.m. Saturday.
The Jayhawks had perhaps their worst overall showing of the 2015 season last weekend against the Longhorns, suffering their first sweep of the season. Kansas allowed 24 runs and 35 hits over the three weekend games. The Jayhawks are still looking for their 30th win this season, which would mark the fifth straight time that feat has occurred for Kansas.
Offensively, junior Chaley Brickey, who leads the team with a .398 batting average, 43 hits and 41 RBIs, leads the Jayhawks. Freshman Daniella Chavez is coming on Sunday's game against Texas, where she
hit two home runs in a losing effort. Chavez is tied for the team-lead with eight home runs.
The Jayhawks' pitching staff struggled considerably last weekend against Texas, allowing 24 runs and 35 hits. Senior ace Alicia Pille suffered her first two losses of the year against the Longhorns.

Allen Fieldhouse takes out the trash after basketball games

Even the greatest home-court advantage in all of college basketball still has to take out the trash after the game.
According to Eric Nelson, the waste reduction manager for the Center for Sustainability, there was an average of 4,020 pounds of waste landfilled,580 pounds of waste recycled,and 2,358 pounds of waste composted for every men's basketball game during the 2013-14 season.
With a capacity of 16,300,
that means each person
creates about 2.3 pounds of
waste during a game at Allen Fieldhouse. With 17 home games during the 2013-14 season, that accumulates to more than 118,000 pounds of waste generated during the entire season. That's about the weight of 118 averagedize adult male polar bears.
Nelson said during the 2013-14 season, Allen Fieldhouse had an average of about 42 percent of the waste from every game diverted from the landfill and recycled or composted. The highest diversion rate it reached was 60 percent.
"We would like to see it up at like 70-80 percent, but that was our first year, which was pretty good," Nelson said.
One thing Nelson said it didn't see a lot of was food waste and for good reason.
"If I'm paying $4 for a hot dog, I'm eating it," Nelson said.
He said the main waste he sees is plastic bottles.
Nelson said one initiative taken during this basketball season was to introduce compostable service ware.
"There's a lot more of compostable cups, compostable nacho trays, hot dog [trays], so the goal really is to be able to recycle or compost everything that comes out of there," Nelson said.
Nelson said Sustainability handles the recycling waste
and sorts it out at its central warehouse.
"When a blue bag of recycling comes in, we dump it out on the table, dump out the liquids and we sort all of that waste." Nelson said.
As for the thousands of shredded newspapers, those are composted.
"The newspaper confetti they use in the student section, that all gets composted for the most part," Nelson said. "It goes to a company called Missouri Organic in Liberty, Mo."
Missouri Organic also handles compost waste generated by KU Dining.

Special Education professor wins Outstanding Leadership Award
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Kathleen Lane, professor in the Department of Special Education, will receive the Outstanding Leadership Award from the Council for Children with Behavior Disorders (CCBD) this Thursday at the annual Council for Exceptional Children Conference in San Diego.
Lane was nominated for the award by the department Chair Elizabeth Kozleski.
"She [Kozleski] got many
letters of support from other people," Lane said. "I can't tell you how humbling it was to read such nice things from those I respect so much. Even if I hadn't won the award, those letters alone made me feel like I'm on the right track." Wendy Oakes, assistant professor at Arizona State University and vice president of the CBD, said this year's awarding process was especially competitive.
"We had a lot of top quality candidates," Oakes said. "It was difficult to decide, but Dr. Lane's research has been
sustained over her entire career, and she's one of the most productive scholars in the field."
Oakes also said Lane's research has impacted changes in schools across the country and been very influential in all of her roles.
Last year, Lane won the CEC Special Education Research Award.
"I've only been able to do all of this because of my amazing colleagues, students, and district partners," Lane said. "I've been on the faculty of a lot of different schools,

250 ALARMS
3 actual fires
8IMPLEX
Most campus fire alarms come from minor incidents
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller, UDK
Countless students have woken up in the middle of the night to the shrill of fire alarms going off in student housing at the University. While it may only be a one-time occurrence for a student to go through, it's a common occurrence across campus.
According to James King, the prevention division chief for Lawrence and Douglas County Fire Medical, they respond to approximately 250 fire alarms at the University every year. In 2014, 148 alarms were set off in student housing, and 93 of those were specific to the dorms.
However, only three of those alarms were due to a real fire, as opposed to something like a student burning macaroni and cheese and setting off the fire alarm. King said the fire department has to come out for every alarm that goes off, and it costs approximately $400 per hour for a full-
alarm assignment.
That means that if each of the 250 fire alarms took an hour and a half to complete, the resulting cost would be $150,000, or about $5,000 more than it costs for an out-of-state student to attend the University for four years, according to Financial Aid and Scholarships.
"They're not 'false alarms' because the system is doing what it's supposed to."
JAMES ANGUIANO KU police department captain
King said the most difficult part about dealing with a fire alarm evacuation is the students' complacency.
"They are slow to evacuate or refuse to evacuate," King said.

Laci Green guides students on how to tackle rape culture
LILY GRANT
@lilygrant_UKD
Laci Green captured the attention of nearly 300 students Friday night when she spoke to a full ballroom of University students during her campus speech "Taking Down Rape Culture." She talked for just over an hour and had a meet-and-greet afterwards.
Green travels to different schools across the country to give lectures on topics like sexuality and feminism. Student Union Activities brought Green to the University to talk about rape culture.
Green is a sex-ed YouTube personality with more than 1 million subscribers. In her videos, she encourages a "sex-positive" mentality and discusses everything from sexuality to social stigmas associated with sex.
"I've been watching Laci Green since I was 16, and she's helped me through a lot of stuff, and I just love her so much," Lia Palazzolo, a senior from Denver, said.
Many students in attendance of the event are subscribers to Green's YouTube channel. Everyone was advised to speak out on issues via social media and be an advocate for consent culture all the time.
"I'm a personal big fan of Laci Green," said Mason Owen, a sophomore from Overland Park. "I've followed her YouTube work for a couple of years now, and I really wanted to see her talk about rape culture."
According to Green, rape culture is a societal attitude that trivializes and normalizes rape.
Green covered four main points in her lecture: the trivialization of rape, victim
Green began her presentation by showing a collection of video clips of news broadcasters trivializing the issue and examples of rape culture in the media.
blaming, gender roles and the toleration of rape culture.
According to Green, rape and rape culture are seen as "inevitable" by many, so we're taught how to deal with it instead of preventing it. She used the song and music video "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke as an example of how

Green said while it's always smart to be safe, girls shouldn't have to protect themselves and live in fear of being raped.
Green introduced the topic of victim blaming by asking the audience to shout out things girls are told when they are young to avoid rape. The crowd replied with comments like, "don't dress provocatively" "don't leave your drink unattended" and "don't travel alone at night."

"Victims don't cause rape — rapists do," Green said. "Rape happens because of power and control."
Victim blaming is when the victim is made to feel like the rape was his or her fault. For example, when examining a rape case, there are often questions concerning the victim's clothing choices, amount of alcohol consumed
rape is a present and tolerated topic in pop culture.
Green explained how slut-shaming contributes to victim blaming. She said when a woman is labeled a "whore," she's seen as someone who can't be violated and is therefore inviting a rapist to take advantage of her. According to Green, this is slut-shaming, and it's one of the reasons rape culture is alive.
Green also discussed sexual objectification. According to Green, women are not seen as people, but as objects to have sex with. She also discussed racial objectification and stereotypes associated with
As an example, Green used the Steubenville, Ohio, rape case, in which two high school football players allegedly raped a 16-year-old girl and have received sympathy from the media for having "promising futures."

Green then discussed how gender roles contribute to rape culture. According to Green, in Western culture,
Don't Forget
and whether "she was asking for it." By asking these questions, the victims receive the blame rather than the rapist, Green said.
She showed a parody of the "Blurred Lines" music video in which women played the men's parts, and vice versa. The audience thought the video was ridiculous. Green explained that the typical reaction is a result of the gender roles we've been trained to accept.

we are conditioned from a young age to see females as nurturing, weak, passive and submissive people while males are supposed to be strong, competitive, aggressive and dominant. Green said this sort of gender identification is a culture that's only present in the Western world.

The University is setting new sustainability goals in Allen Fieldhouse for future years. The Center for Sustainability has implemented recycling and compost bins in the building and has seen a reduction in trash sent to landfills.
WASTE FROM PAGE
At the end of the game, there's a Bowl Pick where a community group is hired pick up all the trash.
"It's a fundraising opportunity for them," Nelson said. "They spend like four to five hours cleaning Allen Fieldhouse after a game."
"I try my best to sort correctly. We only have so many resources and waste only adds up."
SOPHIE WANG Sophomore from Manhattan
"That's kind of across the board in all athletics across the campus. People come there to do what they want to do and buy drinks and eat food." Nelson said.
"We're moving to a single stream system across campus, which athletics will be a part of as well," Nelson siad. "So that [waste] will go to a material recovery facility, then they'll sort it by machine there."
At this point, Nelson says they aren't looking at actual waste reduction yet.
Nelson said there are plans in the works to make sorting waste easier.
The one thing that is
being done is producing only the amount of food that is necessary to reduce leftovers.
"You don't want to make two tons of hot dogs if you're only going to sell one ton." Nelson said.
Nelson said another main goal of the Center for Sustainability is to educate fans about recycling and composting correctly.
"I try my best to sort correctly," Wang said. "We only have so many resources and waste only adds up. With the specific venue of sporting events, the amount of people that attend concentrates individual pockets of waste into one large amount. If all the trash was properly sorted, it would spare a lot of trash from landfills."
For now, Nelson said one focus is making sure the waste is being sorted properly and sent to the right locations.
"We're not looking at producing less things," Nelson said. "We're putting those things into where they should go, like recycling or compost."
"We basically have our infrastructure in place," Nelson said. "So really now it's refining our educational outreach to fans."
Sophie Wang, a sophomore from Manhattan, said she looks for the recycling and compost bins at games.
"It's really an outreach to the larger community," Nelson said. "People can go there and see us recycling and composting and want to do it themselves."
Nelson said now that KU Athletics has hopped on board, the process is a lot smoother.
"It's just getting those fans to put it in the right bin," Nelson said. "So half the battle is already won."
"It has been good to see them taking ownership of it and being a stakeholder in it." Nelson said.
One such option they're looking at is a small display showing what goes into each bin, Nelson said.
Nelson said that what has been accomplished so far is something to be proud of.
He said that the big picture goal is to educate people beyond the fieldhouse.
"Being in the Midwest, we're really proud of our program and what we do," Nelson said. "I think it's top notch, so not only do we win basketball championships in the Big 12, we also have some of the best recycling."

"Never take it as just being a drill, take it as being an actual fire." Anguiano said.
Anguiano said in the case a fire alarm is activated, students should remain calm and leave the building without returning until the building staff gives the allclear.
King said students can help immensely to reduce the risk of fires on campus.

Lastly, Green talked about the tolerance of rape culture. She gave many examples of universities that try to demean the issue, politicians
who blame the victims and news broadcasters who trivialize the issue.
Green ended her presentation by telling the audience eight ways we can help solve the problem.
- Edited by Mitch Raznick
8 WAYS WE CAN HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEM
1. Replace rape culture with consent culture.
2. Teach respect from a young age.
3. Make sure everyone knows what consent is. Consent is: a verbal yes, enthusiastic agreement, no pressure, sober (Too drunk to drive = too drunk to consent) and ongoing.
4. Challenge gender stereotypes.
5. If something seems wrong in a situation, say something. If you're afraid to say something because you don't know the context of the situation, remember: It's always better to be wrong.
6. Use your voice.Social media is a great platform to use to speak up.
7. Campuses must provide ongoing consent education and treat rape cases more seriously.
8. The legal system needs to enact survivor-friendly legal protocol, follow through on investigations and rape kits and enact "yes means yes" consent policy.

Union to hold 'Farmland' screening all day long
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
"Farmland," a documentary about the lives of about 20 farmers and ranchers, is being brought to the University today.
The film will be screened in Lobby T1 in the Union from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and in the Kansas Room from 5-9 p.m., courtesy of Campus Solutions, Inc., a college marketing agency.
Despite the agency coming in as an outside group, it still reached out to different campus groups in hopes they attend the screening.
According to an email sent to one group, the agency wants at least 100 students to show.
Campus Solutions is determined to make this happen by providing $150 to organizations for 15 KU Student Farm members.
Bryan Carbone, marketing director for Campus Solutions, would not provide the list of groups that have confirmed their attendance.
"We [Campus Solutions] have relationships with greek organizations and student
groups that we've reached out to that have expressed interest in attending." Carbone said.
Courtney Schwartzbeck, senior from Andover, and president of Enirons, was approached by Campus Solutions about the screening.
"They [Campus Solutions] were almost trying to bribe us into endorsing their screening by offering to pay us if we attended, so that they could say they had an environmental presence," Schwartzbeck said.
She said Environs will not be endorsing the screening.
"It is blatant greenwashing by the agricultural industry in an attempt to sell themselves as progressive and sustainable while maintaining their same practices," Schwartzbeck said. "Enviros advocates for real solutions to environmental problems, and what the ag industry is trying to do here is not aligned with our mission."
Others that haven't seen the movie can't say much about it; however, they don't mind the attention being brought to the dying industry of farming.
"Farmland" voices the EPA statistic that less than 1 percent of the U.S. population claims farming as an
occupation.
Chad Koralek, a Western Kansas farmer and father of three, said it's about time people realized just how much the industry has faded.
"Farming has been in my family long before I was even born," Koralek said. "The idea of being agriculturally self-sufficient is important, and I hope this movie points that out."
"It's important to have that connection with something outside of yourself, with a sense of responsibility," Duda said.
"How do we continue going on without it?" Duda said. "It's starting to become a problem when young people aren't going into the food industry when it's clearly needed."
Mary Beth Duda, a senior from Pomona, has also not seen the movie, but she said it's easy to take the food we eat every day for granted.
Duda focuses on this issue on a smaller scale by gardening.
Tonight's screening is free, and being catered by "On Campus Catering."

SAN ANTONIO — Texas grocery chain H-E-B is pulling Blue Bell Ice Cream from shelves as a precaution after a recall of some of the ice cream maker's products that were connected to three deaths in Kansas.
H-E-B, with more than

The chain said it's working with Brenham, Texas-based Blue Bell to refill the stocks. Blue Bell spokesman Gene Grabowski said the company respected and understood the action.
Blue Bell on Friday suspended operations at its Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, plant that officials previously had connected to contaminated ice cream. The company recalled products there and at a Texas plant that's been linked to a foodborne illness connected to three deaths.

Students need to avoid doing the exact same workout routine every day. It is easy to create a routine, but students should mix up their workout in order to allow the body to repair, maximize the benefits of exercising and avoid getting burnt out.
It is common knowledge that everyone should have some form of exercise in their everyday lives to maintain a healthy lifestyle. According to the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, "more than 80 percent of adults do not meet the guidelines for both aerobic and musculstrengthening
activities." This did not come as a surprise to me, because some workout routines seem repetitive and time-consuming. Boring routines are not enticing and will not get people to exercise every day. By adding in different activities to your daily routine, working out may seem less like a chore.
One of the most important reasons students shouldn't do the same exercises every day is because their bodies need a break. If someone runs five miles Monday, they should do something less intense Tuesday, like Relaxation Yoga, a class offered at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center.
Centegra Health Bridge Fitness Center suggests adding variety to your workout by alternating between running, biking, strength training, etc. As students, we are lucky to have such a unique assortment of activities provided by KU Recreation Services. More

In addition, switching up one's usual routine will make working out less boring.

Aside from the benefits the university has to offer, adding variation to an exercise routine can help you work muscles that you may not usually work. For instance, by playing tennis or ultimate frisbee, you may be strengthening muscles you wouldn't normally if you just stuck to running as a routine.

Should I consider going to graduate school? I'm burnt out as is, but I feel like the only way to secure a job is by attaining more degrees.
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritz
After almost 16 years of schooling, it's no wonder why you feel burnt out. If we're being honest, I've been burnt out since my sophomore year of high school. My point being, no matter if you're trying to make it through middle school or college, everyone gets burnt out at some point.
The world is becoming more competitive. An article from the Chicago Tribune says acceptance rates are down at universities across the country. I've had this drilled in to my brain since the sixth grade. Having all As isn't enough anymore; students are doing more than ever by participating in volunteer opportunities, working internships, studying abroad, etc. As we constantly strive to grasp these nearly unattainable goals, we get tired.
WHEN WE ONLY DO SOMETHING FOR THE MONEY OR IN THIS CASE, FOR THE DEGREE, OFTEN TIMES THIS MAKES THE SITUATION UNBEARABLE."
she said that her employers never asked about her GPA. They only cared about whether she could do the job
Unfortunately, the phrase "you can sleep when you're dead" has become a little too popular. The pressure to do well in our adolescent and young adult years has caused most of us to forget what it's like to take a breather and relax.
I currently have a professor who graduated from Columbia University with a 4.0 GPA. After she shared this information with us,

and if she could do it well.
This was the first time I had ever had someone in this position tell me it doesn't matter how many degrees you have or how good your GPA is. All that matters is how well you can do the job.
Now I'm telling you.
An article from Business Insider quotes John Seely Brown, the former chief scientist of Xerox: "In a world of mounting economic pressure driven by intensifying global competition, passion is essential to the kind of performance improvement needed to succeed." This is true for you. If you don't have the drive, or even the desire to go to graduate school, your success rate is somewhat predetermined. Granted, you may be in the minority and do just fine, but it will likely be a struggle
Don't go to grad school. When we only do something for the money, or in this case, for the degree, oftentimes this makes the situation unbearable. When we do something we don't want to do, we struggle. If you're second-guessing grad school, then it's not for you
at least not right now. It would make you miserable, which will make your time in grad school even slower. Life isn't about trying to survive - it's about thriving. Bet on yourself and your ability to get a job and do it well instead of pieces of paper from a university.

Students should consider job market when picking major
John Olson
@JohnOlsonUDK
It is a grim reality that most of us hope to never face, but roughly half of all graduates fail to get a job in their field, according to an article from Forbes. This statistic is often used to prop up the argument that the job market is failing students. However, it is the other way around, at least in my view: many students are failing the job market.
Jobs are not created because some people happen to have the qualifications for them. According to the National Bureau of Economic Analysis, the reality is that jobs are created by businesses, which hire people who they believe are an asset in growing their profit margins and outperforming their competitors. While it is true that the demand for goods and services play a role in job creation, businesses are still the ones that create those jobs. This idea provides no backing for the idea that certain careers should exist because some people want them.
When it comes to students, who is hurt the most by this
harsh truth? I believe the humanities students are hit hardest. In my view, there are too many individuals graduating with humanities degrees who expect a job in their major. In economic terms, this is known as a market surplus. This is neither to say that there is no use for a humanities degree — after all, museums require curators and archives need historians — nor is this an elitist perspective. It's a difficult pill to swallow, but this surplus is revealed through empirical data.
In 2012, 35 percent of humanities doctorates failed to secure a job by graduation, while in most science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields, the rate has not risen above 25 percent for decades, even during the depths of the Great Recession. According to the National Science Foundation, just 56 percent of students with humanities doctorates secured a job after graduation in 2012. That number ticked down to 54 percent in 2013, despite a strengthening economy.
This indicates a greater quantity of humanities graduates being supplied to the labor market than the quantity demanded. This is reflected in the wages of humanities jobs. After all, if a billion new hairdressers entered the market, and not many people hired them, the wages for hairdressers would plummet, right? According to labor economist Daniel
Hamermesh, reality backs this up; wages tend to stagnate when there is increased unemployment and few job openings. This wage depression is exactly what has occurred in the humanities fields. Many humanities graduates go on to teach and, unfortunately, the average adjunct professor gets paid roughly the same rate as Walmart employees, as reported by Salon.
For this problem to be solved, two major points must be addressed: first, rather than have the percentage of students earning humanities degrees grow as it currently does, the rate must be diminished. Second, our skills as students must become more marketable. There are currently about two open positions for every applicant in STEM jobs. Perhaps if we hope to secure employment, we should take a class in programming or calculus, rather than art history.
We all want to follow our passions into a career, and that is, for the most part possible. But to be hired, we must differentiate ourselves from other candidates and adapt to economic realities. We should be exploring fields more practical to the current job market.The future is what we make it and it is a lot sturdier if built by an engineer.

Hank Charcuterie hosts Local Table tonight
MACKENZIE CLARK
@mclark59
They've traded their foils for carving knives, but their friendship remains intact.
Vaughn Good, owner and chef, and Juan Carlos Tovar-Ballagh, sous chef, work together at Hank Charcuterie. Both raised in Lawrence, their friendship extends beyond their involvement in the local culinary scene.
"We worked together at Pachamamas, but I've also known [Tovar-Ballagh] since elementary school," Good said. "We used to fence together in a fencing club."
When Good was in the process of creating Hank Charcuterie last year, he asked Tovar-Ballagh if he would be interested in the sous chef position.
"We designed this place to kind of be open, so people can see what's going on."
VAUGHN GOOD
Owner of Hank Charcuterie
Hank Charcuterie will host a collaborative dinner with other chefs tonight in a group called Lawrence Local Table. The 10-course Hearth & Field Dinner is prepared by Good and Towar-Ballagh along with other chefs from establishments such as 715, Decade, Wood + Salt and 1900 Barker, a bakery that has yet to open.
"He's been here since day one." Good said.
The idea for Lawrence Local Table developed when Good and Tovar-Ballagh were talking with Zach Thompson, a chef at 715.
"It's kind of a trending thing that's happening in a lot of food scenes, with different chefs coming together and doing dinners," Good said.
Tenight's dinner will be the third event the chefs of Lawrence Local Table have hosted.
"We're going to try and keep doing events;" Good
The charcuterie aims to let people know where their food comes from. All of the animals come fresh from local farms and are butchered onsite, after being processed through a designated slaughter facility. Good said. The public can watch demonstrations of butchering a hog every other Wednesday and a lamb every other Saturday.
said. "We're already throwing around ideas for our next one"
In a process TovarBallagh said is "quite tiring," he first breaks the animals into primal cuts.
from there, he breaks it into subprimal cuts and smaller cuts, such as lamb chops. The chefs use every part of each animal: meat that isn't part of a choice cut becomes sausage, and bones are used to make broths.
"We designed this place to kind of be open, so people can see what's going on," Good said.
The chefs can also provide specific cuts upon customer request. Some holidays, for example, Good estimated he would receive enough requests to need at least three lambs.
A charcuterie differs from a butcher shop because its primary focus is cured and smoked meats, such as sausages and bacon, Good said. Everything sold at Hank Charcuterie is handmade.
"There are definitely more efficient, more economical ways to make sausage," Good said. "I'd just rather be really authentic about it and make a better handmade product."
Good said there is "nothing like" Hank Charcuterie in Lawrence, but that wasn't his only reason for opening the business in his hometown.
"We have great resources in this area." Good said, referring to produce and other goods from local farmers.
If you visit Hank Charcuterie, don't make the rookie mistake of asking for Hank — which happens all the time, Good said. A "hank" is a coil of sausage casings.

'Furious 7' puts ridiculous car thrills on overdrive
AQUETEARY OF SUIT
@Lambcannon
ALEX LAMB
"Furious 7" offers an emotional goodbye scene to Paul Walker, who died in a 2013 car accident. Walker played Brian O'Conner in the "Fast and Furious" franchise.
"Furious 7" won't fulfill Vin Diesel's prediction of winning best picture, but as far as ridiculous blockbuster entertainment goes, it has virtually everything an action fan could want. It's basically the cinematic version of a greasy, triple bacon cheeseburger with onion rings and a zesty special sauce on it.
Starting with "Fast Five," the "Fast and Furious" franchise has grown gleefully overthe-top and surprisingly spectacular, and this entry takes the craziness to an even higher level than the vehicular warfare of the last installment. Cars literally fly, first skydiving and later soaring through multiple skyscrapers, and a drone rips through the streets of Los Angeles with explosions galore. Then at the end of this outrageous film, the gears shift to an emotional goodbye to Paul Walker that is guaranteed to get viewers at least a little teary-eyed.
Adding to the awesomeness of "Furious 7" is a handful of new fighters in various roles. Chiefly among them, the unstoppable Jason Statham as villain Deckard Shaw hunts Dominic Toretto (Diesel), Brian O'Conner (Walker) and their crew for taking down his brother in the last movie.
Statham is a perfect fit for a bad guy in this series, and after his glorified entrance in the cheeky opening, he and The Rock duke it out in a rowdy fight scene to immediately get
the adrenaline flowing.
MMA fighter Ronda Rousey makes a featured appearance going toe-to-toe with Michelle Rodriguez while Thai martial arts star Tony Jaa plays the main henchman and has a couple frenetic fights with Walker. They're cool to see here, but Kurt Russell brings the most straightforward charisma of the new additions, playing a government official who recruits the heroes to rescue a
The 15-minute rescue set piece then doubles down on insanity with delirious stunts and superb car action that cares little for believability but a lot for entralling choreography. First, Toretto and his crew skydive their cars onto a winding mountain road, then attack an armored bus that fires back with miniguns and subsequently deal with all sorts of other intense complications that keep viewers on the edge of
hacker (Nathalie Emmanuel) and retrieve her powerful God's Eye program from the wrong hands. The God's Eye program can use all technology as a surveillance weapon, although it feels dopey in the context of this film. However, that kind of silliness is part of the charm of "Furious 7."
A prince's party that the team crashes in Abu Dahbi offers music video party stylings turned up with extremely enjoyable swankiness, even including dancing women entirely painted gold. Then in ludicrous yet satisfying fashion, it turns into absolute mayhem with a supercar that has no place to go but out the window, jumping to the next building.
Horror director James Wan transitions to this capac project with an effective action eye, exciting with car stunts and speed from the driver's seat all the way to fantastic aerial shots. He also manages to squeeze more real emotion out of the sentimental "family" themes these characters live by
that usually feel pretty silly in this series. Part of that comes from the outside knowledge of Walker's death, but overall it's refreshing that more of the family aspect comes across genuinely than previous entries.
The lengthy final set piece back in L.A. goes even more deadly and destructive than the tank in the previous film by bringing in a drone that destroys cars faster than they can be counted and never lets up on the gas.
their seats, wide-eyed and jaws dropped.
The evolution of this series into something so bonkers and delightfully entertaining is truly a remarkable example of the Hollywood machine going full steam. So strap in, turn off your brain and go on the wildest ride vet.

Beyoncé releases single to honor 7-year anniversary with Jay-Z

B beyoncé and Jay-Z's seventh anniversary was Saturday, and
B
The love song includes the touching lyrics, "Darling, I wake up just to sleep with you. I open my eyes so I can see with you. And I live so I can die with you."
Beyoncé celebrated by releasing a new song, "Die With You."
The song was released in the form of a personal home video, which shows Beyoncé, dressed casually in a backwards hat and T-shirt, playing the piano and serenading the camera. In the last few seconds of the video, the camera turns around to reveal J-y-Z as the camera man.
Beyonce conveniently released the song less than a week after her husband launched his new music streaming service Tidal. Tidal, which charges users up to $20 per month for its service, was founded by Jay-Z and 16 other major artists including Rihanna, Kayne West and Nicki Minaj. Jay-Z wanted Tidal to be a revolution in the music industry.
His aim was to provide high-fidelity music streaming and pay artists what
"IT'S POSSIBLE THE SONG WAS RELEASED THIS WAY TO LURE LISTENERS INTO WANTING TO BUY TIDAL..."
they deserve — the biggest cuf. Artists in collaboration with Tidal have agreed to
release content available only on Tidal, and "Die With You" is the first example of this exclusivity. It's possible the song was released this way to lure listeners into wanting to buy Tidal so they can hear the hi-fi version.
However, a quick Internet search will bring up some low-quality ripped versions of the new single.
It seems "Die With You" was enough incentive to cause many people to sign up for Tidal.

The Culture Trip: Lawrence home to 4 of 10 best Kansas restaurants
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
The Culture Trip, a website dedicated to finding the best art, food, culture and more throughout different countries, recently named the 10 best restaurants in Kansas.
Four of those are located here in Lawrence: 715 Restaurant, The Burger Stand, Free State Brewing Company and Merchant's Pub and Plate.
The 715 Restaurant is located at 715 Massachusetts St. and offers European-style "local, handmade food," as described on its website. The eatery, which opened in 2009, offers weekend brunch, weekday lunch and dinner every night. The pork, beef, rabbit and lamb served are found locally. There are also vegetarian options available. When it comes to 715's drinks, the restaurant has a happy hour everyday from 3-6 p.m. The restaurant is also known for its reasonably priced wine.
The Culture Trip chose 715 for its "elegant atmosphere with an outstanding menu." Describing the interior as contemporary with a rustic charm, The Culture Trip noted the beauty of the interior. The menu was attributed to head chef Michael Beard, a former
student of the Apicus Culinary Arts Institute of Florence, Italy. The highlighted menu items were the KC strip steak with papa bravas, anchovy aioli and chimichurri, and the house cocktails.
The Burger Stand at The Casbah also opened in 2009 and is located at 803 Massachusetts St. The restaurant serves gourmet burgers, "hawt doggz," a variety of fries, onion rings, salads and different vegetarian meals. According to its website, the restaurant receives its ingredients from nearby sources. With a large bar menu, The Burger Stand houses more than 35 craft beers on tap and more than 100 bottles. The eatery also has a "Beer Hall" in the basement that can be rented out.
Illustrated as "quirky and cool" on the outside by The Culture Trip, the inside is not to be ignored either as "...the decor is charmingly industrial, with exposed brick and pipework sitting alongside brightly coloured signs and chalkboards." Especially noteworthy is the famous kobe burger with truffle butter and greens, as well as the smoke burger with applewood smoked bacon, gouda cheese and chipotle-cola ketchup.
Free State Brewing Company dates back to 1989 and was the first legal brewery to open in the state after 100 years. Located at 636 Massachusetts Street, this brewhouse is 14-barrels with a large variety of beer styles, including beers bottled on location. Its website proudly displays the employees of the brewery, including member profiles for the proprietor, head of brewing and bottling, and the head of downtown brewing.
The menu for the attached restaurant is made up of anything from gumbo to black bean burgers. The Culture Trip didn't mention any specific meals to try, but instead described its "delectable range of sandwiches, pastas, steaks and quesadillas." The portion sizes, however, were referred to as "hearty."
The last restaurant is located at 746 Massachusetts Street; Merchant's Pub and Plate. It offers a wide selection of draft craft beers in Lawrence, with a 30-tap system. Something unique about this restaurant can also be found on its website: a list of its farmers. This list includes the name of the farm, location and its website.
The Culture Trip marked this as a "true taste of Kansas
and the Midwest," with the menu listing sections like Greens, Share, Sammies, Veg and Mains. Also included on the menu is the list of farms where the dishes originated. Recommended menu items include the shrimp and grits with homemade andouille sausage and the sticky chicken lettuce wraps with "mouthwatering flavours of sweet soy and ginger."
Lawrence was the only city to be repeated on the list, while other restaurants were located in Prairie Village, Kansas City, Assaria, Wichita, Council Grove and Manhattan.

Notre Dame edges South Carolina in Final Four
FRED GOODALL
CHRIS O'MEARA/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla.: — Notre Dame is heading back to the women's national championship game thanks to a timely putback from an unlikely source.
Madison Cable's only basket of the game lifted Notre Dame to a 66-65 victory against Final Four newcomer South Carolina in the national semifinals Sunday night.
All-American Jewell Loyd scored 22 points as the Irish (36-2) advanced to the NCAA championship game for the fourth time in five years, surviving a scoring drought that lasted more than seven minutes down the stretch.
"We didn't rebound, missed a bunch of shots," said Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw. "Just a great basketball game. We went to Jewell. She had to do everything. Everyone contributed."
The Irish have not been able to win it all since McGraw led them to their only national title in 2001.
Loyd said no one boxed out Cable on her game-winning basket, adding. "She's done it all year. She's the MVP."
South Carolina (34-3) overcame a 12-point first-half deficit and did it again in the closing minutes. The feisty Gamecocks used a 13-0 run to take their only lead on Aleighsa Welch's offensive stickback with 1:12
remaining.
Brianna Turner scored 17 points and grabbed eight rebounds before fouling out for Notre Dame. Taya Reimer had 16 points for Notre Dame.
Freshman Aja Wilson came off the bench to lead South Carolina with 20 points. She scored 10 straight for the Gamecocks at one point in the second half to keep her resilient team within striking distance.
Notre Dame led 64-52 with 7:51 to go. The Irish missed eight straight shots before Coates wiped out South Carolina's short-lived lead. South Carolina All-American Tiffany Mitchell's off-balance three-point attempt bounced
"it's surreal right now, can't believe that we're here," Loyd said of advancing to Tuesday night's title game. "Glad we played the early game and can get some rest."
Notre Dame lost to Connecticut in a matchup of unbeaten teams in last year's title game. The Irish came up short against Texas A&M in 2011 and Baylor in 2012.
South Carolina looked like a Final Four newcomer early, falling behind 15-3 in the first five minutes of the game. The Gamecocks settled down and got a pair of layups from Alaina Coates during a 12-4 surge helped them get back in

the game.
South Carolina coach Dawn Staley has spent the past seven seasons transforming South Carolina from a struggling program into a national contender that spent much of this season ranked No.1 in the country. The former Virginia star, who played in the national semifinals three times as a player, joined Kim Mulkey as the only women to play and coach in the Final Four, and she drew on personal experience to try to prepare her team for what to encounter during its trip.
The Gamecocks began to solve the multiple defensive looks Notre Dame threw at them, with Coates inflicting damage inside and Mitchell
and Bianca Cuevas picking up the pace of the game once Irish guard Lindsay Allen left the game with two fouls. Wilson's jumper trimmed South Carolina deficit to 25-24, but Notre Dame wouldn't crack.
Loyd delivered a three-point play during a quick seven-point spurt that helped the Irish stay in front 32-28 at halftime, then made a difficult jumper over Mitchell while drawing a foul during the 10-0 burst Notre Dame put together after Coates missed two free throws, either of which would have given South Carolina its first lead.
Coates finished with 12 points and nine rebounds off the bench.
Pacers use Paul George's return to spur 112-89 victory against Heat
MICHAEL MAROT
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Paul George's season debut provided a needed boost Sunday as the Pacers put themselves back in the playoff contention with a 112-89 rout against Miami.
George finished with 13 points in 15 minutes — his first action since breaking his right leg Aug.1.
Luis Scola scored a season-high 23 points to lead Indiana (34-43) to its second straight win. The Pacers moved into a tie with Miami (34-43) for the No. 9 spot in the East. Both teams trail Boston by one game for the conference's eighth and final playoff spot.
The Heat took a 58-57 lead midway through the third, but the Pacers finished the quarter on a 20-8 run to make it 77-66. Back-to-back three-pointers from George early in the fourth sealed it.
Miami was led by Dwyane Wade with 27 points but lost its fourth in a row.
George finished 5 of 12 from the field with three three-pointers, two rebounds and two assists. And even though he missed a breakaway layup in the first half — a play he normally would have dunked — nobody was complaining inside Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
So when George replaced Solomon Hill with 5:34 left in the first quarter, the fans gave him a standing ovation as they waved yellow "Welcome Back PG" signs. The reaction continued all night.
When the gruesome injury occurred during a Team USA scrimmage in Las Vegas, most thought his season was over.
Fans booed when George was called for his first foul. They roared every time he touched the ball. They gave him a rousing ovation when he made his first shot, a 12-foot fadeaway to his right, grimaced when he missed that layup and erupted again when he made the two threes.
But the Pacers needed the win more than they actually needed George.
They scored the first nine points, gave up the next eight and then pushed the lead back to 32-23 early in the second quarter. Indiana still led 51-47 at the half.
Miami took advantage of Indiana's sluggish second-half start to pull ahead on Goran Dragic's three-pointer, Miami's first of the game, with 5:58 left in the third.
HEAT: Miami played small because centers Chris Andersen (bruised left foot) and Hassan Whiteside (cut right hand) both sat out. But the Heat went just 2-for-20 from three. The Heat have lost two of their past four games by more than 20 points.
Indiana answered with a 15-4 spurt, extended the lead to 11 after three and started pulling away again after George made the threes in the fourth.
PACERS: Indiana, meanwhile, thrived on threes. C.J. Miles had five, two short of a season.' The Pacers were 14 of 30 overall from beyond the arc and improved to 21-18 at home.

Spurs snap Warriors 12-game streak, 107-92
RAUL DOMINGUEZ
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Kawhi Leonard matched his career-high with 26 points and set a career-high with seven steals as the San Antonio Spurs rolled past Golden State 107-92 on Sunday, snapping the Warriors' 12-game winning streak while extending their own to seven straight.
seven straight San Antonio also extended its home winning streak against Golden State to 32 straight.
Tim Duncan had 19 points, and Danny Green added 18 points for San Antonio (51-26), which led by as many as 28 points.
Stephen Curry had 24 points, but was harassed into 9-for-17 shooting by Leonard. Klay Thompson was held to six points on 3-for-11 shooting for Golden State (51-27).
A battle between the teams with the longest active winning streaks in the league grew one-sided quickly with Leonard firmly imprinting his stamp on the game.
Leonard, who did not play in the fourth quarter, was 11-for-17 shooting, but it was defense that proved key. Curry had 13 straight points for Golden State in a two-minute stretch early in the second half, pulling the Warriors within 67-53 with three three-pointers. The Spurs snuffed the rally by having Leonard defend the Warriors' sharpshooter.

WARRIORS
Leonard would strip Curry near the three-point line in his first defensive assignment after the switch, batting the ball with his left hand from Curry's right-handed dribble and race downcourt for an emphatic one-handed dunk ahead of Draymond Green.
Parker, Leonard regained possession by using his long reach to strip the Warriors point guard near the three-point line to spark a fast break. Leonard passed to Parker in the left corner and the Spurs point guard passed up the three-pointer to feed a charging Danny Green, who drew the defender and passed it to Leonard for an open dunk and an early 8-1 lead.

It was part of a rough evening for Curry.
Leonard would later steal a crosscourt pass intended for Thompson and sprint for a one-handed, uncontested dunk for a 17-7 lead.
Leonard later tipped the ball away from Curry and outran him to the ball, palming it with one hand and firing a pass to Danny Green for a layup and a 57-36 lead.

WARRIORS: Golden State has not won in San Antonio since Feb. 14, 1997, the season before Duncan arrived. The Warriors had lost by an average of 16.5 points before Sunday's blowout. The Warriors won by an average of 15.2 points during their winning streak.
TIP-INS
SPURS: San Antonio center Tiago Splitter (tightness, right calf) sat out and is expected to miss the team's next three games at least. Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich said the injury is "not real serious, but enough to keep him out for a while." The Spurs are 10-0 when Bonner starts alongside Duncan, Parker, Leonard and Green and 14-3 overall when the "Red Rocket" is in the starting lineup.

Chelsea Gardner earns another postseason honor
Another postseason award has been given to senior forward Chloele Gardner. Saturday, Gardner was named a 2015 Women's Basketball Coaches Association All-America Honorable Mention, announced by the WBCA in Tampa Bay, Fla., at the NCAA Women's Final Four.
This is the second All-America honorable mention for Gardner, who was named an Associated Press All-America honorable
mention last week. Gardner also was a part of the WBCA All-Region team and was selected as an All-Big 12 first team honoree for the second straight season.
Gardner became the 27th Jayhawk to join the 1,000-point club in Kansas women's basketball history. Gardner finished her Kansas career with 1,516 points scored, which is 12th in the team's history.
Gardner averaged 16.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game this season in Kansas' 15-17 season, which saw the team
get eliminated in the first round of the 2015 Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship last month in Dallas.
Gardner's season-high in a game this season was 30 points against Alabama in November. Gardner's career-high in points was 34 points against Texas Tech in 2014. Gardner also collected two games against top-10 teams in which she scored 20 or more points. The first happened in 2014, when the Jayhawks snapped the Baylor Bears' 53-game conference winning streak in Allen Fieldhouse.
Gardner also accomplished another 20-or-more point game against California last December, when the Jayhawks defeated the Golden Bears, 62-39.

Brittany Lincicome wins ANA Inspiration in playoff
JOHN NICHOLSON Associated Press
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif.
— Brittany Lincicome ended up in Poppe's Pond for the second time in her career early Sunday night in the ANA Inspiration.
Lincicome eagled the pars 518th in regulation to pull even with Stacy Lewis and outlasted her U.S. Solheim Cup teammate with a two-putt par in fading light on the third extra hole.
Lewis had three chances to win on the 18th. She missed birdie puts from 13 feet in regulation, 15 feet on the first extra hole and 12 feet on the second.
Playing a group ahead of Lewis, Lincicome made a 10-foot eagle putt to match Lewis at 9-under 279. The long-hitting Lincicome, also the 2009 winner, finished with a 69.
Lewis, the 2011 champion closed with a 70.
Lincicome lost a playoff to Inbee Park last year in the LPGA Championship, one of the tour's five majors. The 29-year-old Florida player, a six-time winner on the
LPGA Tour, is projected to jump from 18th to sixth in the world ranking.
Two strokes ahead of playing partner Sei Young Kim and four ahead of Lincicome with five holes left, Lewis missed a chance for her third major title. She has 11 LPGA Tour victories and 18 runner-up finishes, three in seven starts this year.
The 30-year-old Texan bogeyed the par-4 13th and 15th — missing from 6 feet on 13 and 5 feet on 16 — and closed with three pars.
Morgan Pressel was third at 8 under. She nearly holed her approach on 18 for eagle and made a short birdie putt for a 70.
Kim, three strokes ahead of Lewis entering the round, had a 75 to tie for fourth at 7 under with Carlota Ciganda (68) and Anna Nordqvist (69). Kim had only one par on the back nine, on the 18th when she needed an eagle to get into the playoff.
Lexi Thompson, the winner last year, was 6 under. She finished birdie-eagle for a 70.
Stacy Lewis hits from the tee on the seventh hole during the final round of the LPGA Tour ANA Inspiration golf tournament at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif., on Sunday. Lewis closed the tournament with a 70.

Tennis sweeps Sunflower Showdown on senior day
JACOB CLEMEN
@jclemn9
Lone Kansas senior Maria Belen Ludueña didn't score, but picked up her first Sunflower Showdown win in four years against instate rival Kansas State on Saturday as the Jayhawks swept the Wildcats 4-0 on senior day.
Kansas' win improved the Jayhawks to 41-13 all-time against K-State, but marked the first time in six years that Kansas was able to defeat its instate rival.
"Since I've been here, we've never beaten Kansas State," Ludueña, from Curicó, Chile, said in a press release. "I don't know how beating them on senior day could get any better. We always want to beat them, and we've been close over the last four years. Today we had the opportunity to beat them and we did."
While the day was about Ludueña's accomplishments over her four-year career at Kansas, it was the strong play of the freshmen and the debut of Kansas freshman Lauren Pickens that ultimately sealed the win for Kansas.
An impressive start in doubles saw the pairing of
Summer Collins, a freshman from Atlanta, and Smith Hinton, a freshman from Raleigh, N.C. pick up a 6-3 victory. Rachel McNeely, a freshman from Westminster, S.C. and Alexis Czapinski, a freshman from Lawrence, also picked up a convincing win, 6-1. The wins gave Kansas the early lead and set the tone for the rest of the matches as Kansas cruised to victory.
"Since I've been here, we've never beaten Kansas State. I don't know how beating them on senior day could get any better."
MARIA BELEN LUDUENA Senior
"I felt like our energy was much better in the doubles," coach Todd Chapman said in a press release. "It seemed like we wanted to be out there, be aggressive and get after it. I felt like that was the key today.
that energy, maintain that momentum and to not give their opponent any reason to think that they could beat us."
... It is just one point but I think it really gave us some momentum and the challenge for the girls was to maintain
McNeely gave the Jayhawks a 2-10 lead when she won her singles match handily 6-1, 6-1.
Hinton followed with a nearidentical performance, grabbing the third point with a 6-1, 6-2 win in the second singles position.
Pickens overcame nerves to complete the sweep with a 6-3, 6-4 win, which marked both her first career appearance and singles victory for Kansas.
"I felt like I had a much better start even though I got nervous," Pickens said in a press release. "This is the first time I've really gotten to play and it was much better overall. Every time you go out there you don't want to let your team down."
Kansas moved to 7-10 on the season and climbed over .500 in conference play at 3-2.
The Jayhawks will be back in action at home Wednesday for a midweek matchup with Tulsa at 2 p.m. Kansas' next conference match is Friday in Stillwater, Okla., against No. 13 Oklahoma State.

Junior distance runner Hannah Richardson picked up the lone first-place finish for Kansas with a time a of 4:26.81 in the 1,500 meters. Richardson's time outpaced Kansas State senior Laura Galvan by nearly seven seconds for the victory.
While the Kansas track and field team only brought back one first-place event finish, Jayhawk athletes totaled 17 top-three finishes at the Baylor Invitational in Waco. Texas, on Friday.
Junior Sydney Conley grabbed two top-three finishes on the day. Conley leaped a distance of 20'5 1/4", good for second in the long jump. Conley finished third in the 100 meters timed in at 11.65 seconds.
Senior Lindsay Vollmer returned after a leg injury from the NCAA Indoor National Championships in March. Vollmer competed in the javelin, high jump and 4x400-meter relay.
In the 800 meters, junior Rhavean King, sophomore Whitney Adams and redshirt freshman Lydia Saggau finished in third, fourth and fifth places, respectively.
Junior Anastasiya Muchkayev placed third in the shot put, while junior Daina Levy finished second in the hammer throw.
On the men's side, freshman Cole Ceban wowed with an impressive day of second and third place finishes in the discus and shot put, while another freshman Ben Burchstead finished third in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.
The 4x400 relay team of seniors Kenneth McCuin, James Wilson, Michael Stigler and junior Drew Matthews finished in second, timed at 3:11.68, nearly catching Baylor's relay team which finished two seconds ahead with a time of 3:09.57.
Stigler also competed in the 110-meter hurdles, where he clinched the third spot, timing in at 14.22 seconds. Stigler did not compete in the 400-meter hurdles in Waco, the event he set a world-leading time at the Texas Relays a week prior.

SUNRISE, Fla. — Carey Price stopped 24 shots to pick up his league-leading 42nd win, Tomas Plekanec scored his 200th career goal, and the Montreal Canadiens beat the Florida Panthers 4-1 Sunday.
Brendan Gallagher, P.A. Parenteau and Devante Smith-Pelly also scored for Montreal.

Aaron Ekblad scored for Florida, and Dan Ellis finished with 23 saves.
Plekanec opened the scoring with Montreal on a 5-on-3 power play following penalties by Florida's Dmitry Kulikov and Erik Gudbranson just three seconds apart. Positioned on the goal line almost parallel to Ellis, Plekanec scored his 24th goal by sweeping in a wrist shot that slid between the backup goalie's legs at 6:36 following a pass from Andrei Markov.
The teams traded goals just 46 seconds apart in the second period. Ekblad tied it on a power play at 6:20 for his 12th goal by beating Price low on the glove side. Gallagher

THE MORNING BREW
Wisconsin out-defends Kentucky, moves on to championship game
Saturday night, senior forward Frank Kaminsky led the Wisconsin Badgers in ending Kentucky's road to perfection. The Badgers were able to keep Kentucky away in the final minutes and defeat the Wildcats 71-64 in the Final Four matchup.
Looking at the box score, especially the scoring, it is hard to see how Kentucky lost. The Wildcats had a stellar game shooting 48 percent from the field, including 60 percent from three-point range. The Wildcats were also 9-of-10 from the line. But where they really fell short was on the boards. The Badgers out-rebounded the Wildcats by 12 rebounds.
Sean Collins
@seanzie_3
The final minutes proved to be Kentucky's demise, starting with Wisconsin tying the game at 60 with three minutes to play. What was crucial about this moment is that Wisconsin got back its momentum
on a basket that should have been called a shot clock violation. On this play, sophomore forward Nigel Hayes missed a guarded shot in the post, got his rebound and shot it again for the bucket. However, the ball was still in his hands when the shot clock hit zero. This play was never reviewed and it proved to shift the game in Wisconsin's favor.
From this point on, Wisconsin took control. With one minute and 45 seconds left, Badgers' junior forward Sam Dekker drilled a three-pointer to put them up 64-60. After a free throw and a layup by Wildcat sophomore guard Aaron Harrison, the score was 64-63, and Wisconsin called timeout.
A crucial part to Kentucky falling apart in the final moments of the game is freshman forward Karl-Anthony Towns missing a free throw to put the Wildcats within one point. With 13 seconds left in the game, Kentucky had to intentionally foul sophomore guard Bronson Koenig. Koenig sank both free throws, putting the Badgers up by four.
Last year, Kentucky and Michigan were tied with less than 10 seconds to go, and Harrison nailed a threepointer to give the Wildcats the win.
THE BREW
Down four points, the Wildcats went to Harrison again on Saturday with six seconds left. Harrison rose from nearly five feet behind the three-point line and air-balled the shot wide left. This solidified the Wisconsin
victory to move on to the national championship game. Wisconsin went on to make more free throws and won 71-64.
Wisconsin was able to out-defend perhaps one of the best defenses in the history of collegiate basketball. The Badgers will go on to face the Duke Blue Devils and freshman stud Jahill Okafor in what will shape up to be a great national championship game.

OKLAHOMA CITY James Harden led a postgame dance session in the Houston locker room.
And why not? He scored 41 points, and his Rockets overcame Russell Westbrook's triple-double to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder 115-112 on Sunday.
In the process, Harden bested of one of his top challengers for the MVP award and silenced the fans who constantly booed him in the building where he once was beloved. The former Thunder star scored 10 points in the fourth quarter to give his team a cushion.
"That's my job," Harden said. "It's what I do. I go out there and I take the big shots. My teammates did a great job the entire game of making shots, getting to the rim, just being in attack mode, being aggressive. In the fourth quarter, then, I've got to make shots."
Harden and Westbrook, the
league's top two scorers, both entered the game averaging 27.5 points. Harden made 12 of 22 shots and 6 of 9 three-pointers before fouling out with 33 seconds left. The Rockets hung on to win for the seventh time in eight games.

"That's my job. It's what I do. I go out there and I take the big shots.
"Guys are locked in," Harden said. "They're focused on what we need to do to win, no matter who gets the credit, no matter who gets the glory."
Westbrook finished with 40 points,13 assists and 11 rebounds. It was his 11th triple-double of the season and the 18th of his career.Enes Kanter added 21 points and 17 rebounds for the Thunder,
who lost their third straight. Their lead over New Orleans for the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference was cut to a half-game.
According to STATS, Westbrook's 11 triple-doubles are the most for a player in a season since Jason Kidd had 13 in 2007-08, and his nine triple-doubles in a 20-game span are the most in such a stretch since Chicago's Michael Jordan had 11 in 15 games from March 25-April 21, 1989.
The Rockets led 89-80 early in the fourth quarter before Westbrook re-entered the game. The Thunder chipped away, and Westbrook tied the score at 100 with a three-pointer with just more than three minutes to play.
Harden made three-pointers over Oklahoma City's Kyle Singler on consecutive possessions to put the Rockets up 106-101. Harden made another jumper from near the foul line, this time over Westbrook, to bump the lead to seven.
"The shots that he made were tough shots — step a guy back," Houston coach Kevin McHale said. "But he's been doing it all year. He works hard on those shots, and he makes them."
Oklahoma City's Anthony Morrow sank a three-pointer to cut the deficit to 114-112 with 5.5 seconds to play. Houston's Corey Brewer missed the second of two free throws with five seconds remaining to give the Thunder a chance. Westbrook missed a deep off-balance three-pointer as time expired.
The Rockets led 42-29 in the second quarter before back-to-back dunks by Westbrook shifted the momentum. Backto-back threes by Morrow and DJ. Augustin cut Houston's lead to 52-47. Harden's threepointer late in the shot clock over Westbrook with 13.7 seconds left in the half gave the Rockets a 55-47 edge at the break. Houston led 83-77 at the end of the third.
The Thunder knew how important the game was, so
they dug in after they trailed by 11 with 7:08 remaining to make it tight down the stretch. "It just says that we at least have some fight in us," Westbrook said. "Unfortunately it wasn't enough."
Houston shot 55 percent in the final period to hold on.
"The biggest thing is we stay calm," Houston center Dwight Howard said. "We don't allow a team making a run to affect us mentally. We stay together. We come into the huddle and we talk to each other, then we go out there and execute."
ROCKETS: Howard scored 22 points in 23 minutes. Forward Donatas Motiejunas missed his sixth straight game with lower back pain. Houston made 12 of 19 shots in the second quarter.
THUNDER: Oklahoma City was without forward Nick Collison (left ankle sprain), guard Andre Roberson (left ankle sprain) and forward
Serge Ibaka (right knee surgery). None are expected back soon. The Thunder wore their alternate uniforms with sleeves. Guard Dion Waiters drew a technical foul with 9:21 left in the third quarter. Center Steven Adams fouled out with 6:04 remaining. Morrow scored 22 points and made 6 of 8 three-pointers.
STAT LINES
Harden maintained his miniscule lead over Westbrook in the race for the scoring title. The Rockets star now has scored 2,104 points in 76 games for an average of 27.684 points per game. Westbrook has scored 1,715 points in 62 games for an average of 27.661.
McHale, on the Rockets giving up offensive rebounds and making just 31 of 50 free throws: "When you miss 19 free throws and give up 17 offensive rebounds, you've got to — we just found a way. The guys just ground it out."

COMMENTARY
Andrew Harrison's comment blown out of proportion
E exhausted and defeated, Andrew Harrison stepped to the podium following Kentucky's loss to Wisconsin on Saturday night, where he uttered a phrase containing profanity and a racial slur directed toward Wisconsin big man Frank Kaminsky.
Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU
The reaction that followed.was exaggerated and illogical.
Admittedly, the first reaction to hearing about the comments would probably be shocking. After all, Harrison was sitting right in front of a live microphone on ESPN, and not to mention he is a part of one of the most notable college basketball programs in the country.
However, that doesn't change the facts.
Andy Glockner, a Sports Illustrated contributor and executive editor of The Cauldron, took to Twitter to discuss the comments, and he really hit the nail right on the head.
"I don't think this Harrison thing is a story," Glockner tweeted. "He was frustrated 10 mins after a loss and said something that's now colloquial."
Glockner also mentioned that Harrison did apologize, which certainly mattered. This wasn't a case of a guy going on a rant after a loss, but rather a player being asked about an opponent that beat them and muttering something under his breath in frustration.
I'd guess almost every person over the age of 15 has experienced hearing the name of someone they dislike and either saying something under their breath or to someone about that person. Most of the time, it stops there. But that's not how Twitter works.
In the new age of instant reactions and online video, things get blown out of proportion way too quickly. Case in point: less than five minutes after Harrison made the muffled comment in question, there were four different videos online of the incident, and it had already made its way to some notable journalists, including ESPN's Amin Elhassan.
In fact, the video spread so quickly, that Adam Zagoria, a basketball insider for SNY.tv, went as far as to ask an NBA Draft scout what impact it would have on Andrew Harrison's draft stock.
The answer? None.
Ultimately, he didn't get a DUI; he didn't get busted for using performance-enhancing drugs; he didn't rob a bank; he didn't beat up another person.
The answer? None.
If a kid muttering a phrase under his breath 10 minutes after a loss means nothing to a guy who is supposed to value his future as an NBA player, it probably shouldn't be a big deal to an average person.
Sure, Harrison probably shouldn't have made the comment, but in the grand scheme of things, he was a frustrated 20-year-old who got caught up in the moment.
He was frustrated and made a comment, and then apologized. End of story.

Jayhawks fall to Oklahoma in weekend sweep
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
The Kansas baseball team traveled down to Oklahoma and left empty-handed after a series of heartbreaks from the Sooners.
The Jayhawks ventured to Norman directly after their extra-inning victory over the Shockers in Wichita. Little did they know, there would be more free baseball throughout their Easter weekend.
In two of the three games of the series, the Jayhawks held a lead late in the game only to see it taken away by the Sooners in extra innings.
"...During the course of a 56-game season, you're going to win some crazy comeback games, and you're going to have some devastating losses" coach Ritch Price said.
Thursday's matchup was
most devastating for Price and his club.
The Jayhawks led for the entirety of the game behind the hot arm of junior Ben Krauth, who was coming off five straight winning starts. Krauth was taken out at the end of the seventh inning after a four strikeout performance.
RITCH PRICE Kansas coach
"This is one of the toughest losses we have had since I have been at Kansas."
The Jayhawks looked to start the series with a win while going into the bottom of the ninth inning with a 6-2 lead. The Sooners rallied
2 outls. The Sooners started the game hot on Friday and didn't look back as they earned another win 6-3.
in their last opportunity and scored four runs to send the game to extra innings. Oklahoma's jacob Evans put the game away in the bottom of the 10th inning with a leadoff home run to give his team a 7-6 win.
The tables were turned in game two of the series, while in this game, it was the Sooners who went into the ninth inning with a 6-2 lead. Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, they could not find that same late-game magic that helped the Sooners a day
"This is one of the toughest losses we have had since I have been at Kansas." Price said. "We completely dominated the game to that point, but you have to get all 27 outs."
before. The Jayhawks only scored one run in the final inning.
Fans at L. Dale Mitchell Park saw more free baseball in the final game of the series on Saturday as the Jayhawks yet again let one slip through their grasp in the 10th inning.
The Sooners led for a majority of the game until the eighth inning, when the Jayhawks' senior Connor McKay produced a two RBI single to take the lead 7-6. The Sooners answered in the bottom of the inning with a run of their own to tie the game and eventually send the game to extras.
The 10th inning was unkind to the Jayhawks for a second time in the series as the Sooners' Taylor Alspaugh hit a walkoff RBI single to win 8-7 and end the series with a sweep.
Although the Jayhawks
couldn't earn a win, the team showed signs of improvement and continued to produce offensively with 32 hits throughout the series. "We were better this week than we were last week," Price said. "We're 1-5 in the conference, and we've lost three one-run games."
After eight straight road games, the Jayhawks will return to Lawrence and Hoglund Ballpark for 10 straight home games over the next two weeks.
"We need to play a home game so bad it's incredible," Price said. "The guys get a well-deserved day off for Easter, but then we will get back to work Monday and try to turn this thing around."

RUSSELL ROBINSON
Even though he was famous for his "from New York, New York," introduction, Robinson never got as much hype as guys like Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush, but he was every bit as important. He was the heart and soul of the 2008 NCAA championship team, and he was unselfish enough to let better scorers take more shots. He was never known for his offense, but his on-ball defense was incredible, and his 247 steals in his career prove that.

Perry Ellis was expected to make an impact when he came to Kansas in 2012. Ellis broke out late in his freshman season against Iowa State in the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship. Ellis has shown to be more of a scorer this past season for Kansas, with the departure of Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embid. Ellis career-high game was 32 points of Feb. 15, 2014.

DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
To paraphrase college basketball analyst Seth Davis, the Jayhawks got their mojo back. The No. 23 Jayhawks (32-5, 3-3) earned their first conference sweep of the season last weekend, knocking out the Oklahoma State Cowgirls (17-21, 1-5) in a massive rebound from the conference opening series against the Texas Longhorns two weeks ago, where Kansas was soundly swept in Arrocha Ballpark.
The Jayhawks opened the series last Thursday night, defeating the Cowgirls 7-6. Like they had done so many times this season, the Jayhawks rallied back from an early deficit to take the win in the seventh inning.
In a stark contrast from the Texas series, where the Jayhawks struggled to overcome early deficits, the team scored seven runs in the final two innings to overcome a 4-0 deficit that had been hanging over the Jayhawks for much of the game. Senior Maddie Stein led the Jayhawks with three hits in the game.
The Jayhawks got their offense going in the second game of the series Friday, defeating the Cowgirls 10-5. Junior Chaley Brickey
bookended the Jayhawks scoring in the game by hitting two home runs, one in the first inning and one in the seventh inning. Brickey and freshman Jessie Roane led the Jayhawks with three hits each.
The Jayhawks finished off the weekend series by defeating Oklahoma State by a score of 3-2 Saturday. It was another game that the Jayhawks had to win in extra innings, with freshman
Daniella Chavez continuing her excellent debut season by hitting the gamewinning RBI in the eighth inning.
The weekend sweep was a welcome rebound for the layhawks, getting out the bitter taste of a rare losing streak to Texas. Not only did the layhawks get back to their winning ways, they looked good doing it, providing clutch play and excellent pitching to win the series.
"Last week was
disappointing for us," Kansas coach Megan Smith said after the win Saturday. "We told our players in conference play that sometimes that happens, and you have to be ready to bounce back. For us to come to Oklahoma State and sweep here, I am really proud of our players.
"They worked hard at practice, were committed and believed they could," she added. "It's a great feeling, and [this is] the first
time we've won the series in Stillwater since I've been here."
Up next, the Jayhawks will travel to Lubbock, Texas, to face off against the Texas Tech Red Raiders on April 10-12. After that series, Kansas will face off against Tulsa on April 18-19 before returning to Rock Chalk Park for a big series against the No. 5 Oklahoma Sooners.

"He's going to speak about his experience with reparative therapy, and the process in general, which is important to discuss," Cota said.
Another important event covers feminism and queer intersexuality."JULIA SERANO: Making Feminist & Queer Movements Inclusive" will take place on April 29.
Serano, a trans-bi activist, writer, biologist and feminist will be a guest speaker at the event.
"Some might think that be ing queer doesn't mesh with feminism, but it can and it should." Cota said.
AbleHawks and Allies will host the event "Queering Disability" on April 28.
"One in seven students on campus has a disability, whether it be physical or mental," said Jennifer Marcinkowski, senior from Jefferson, Mo. and president of AbleHawks. "Given the importance of intersecting identities, I'm glad and honored that we're able to lead this discussion."
This discussion will delve into the intersectionality of queerness and disability.
Marcinkowski works in Human Resources for the University as an Americans with Disabilities Accommodation specialist. To highlight the importance of this event, her office decided to co-sponsor it.

A bike route sign on the corner of Engel Road and Crescent Street in Lawrence urges cyclists and drivers to "share the ride." Kansas was ranked 46th in the nation for bicycle-friendliness by the League of American Bicyclists in 2014.
Though this is the only event AbleHawks is directly involved with, Marcinkowski encourages everyone to go to any and all of the events throughout the rest of the month.
"LGBTQ and non-heteronormative culture is for anyone who wants to be included," Marcinkowski said. "It's about inclusion, not exclusion. We want to give students a voice and allow them to identify as they are without any stigma."

Aaron Dittemore straps on his helmet and puts on his tennis shoes before making his way down Massachusetts Street to work every day. He is a Jimmy John's bike delivery man and said he feels it is easier to travel by bike than by car in Lawrence.
In 2014, Kansas was ranked 46th in the nation for bicycle-friendliness by The League of American Bicyclists, moving down six places from 2013. The ranking is based on legislation and enforcement, policies and programs, infrastructure and funding, education and encouragement, and evaluation and planning. In 2012, Lawrence was designated a bronze-level city for bicycle friendliness from the League.
However, some Lawrence cyclists say the city is more bicycle-friendly than the ranking reflects.
"I definitely think that Lawrence is biker-friendly, and that's one of the things I really love about it." Dittemore, a former KU student, said. "I can ride my bike anywhere I need to go, and you don't normally find that in other cities in Kansas."
In 2014, an estimated 400,000 cyclists rode 20 selected roads, according to the Lawrence Bike Count. Cyclists said they hope to see this number grow
in 2015 with bicycle-friendly programs in place such as Transportation 2040 and Lawrence Unchained.
"Lawrence is a terrific place to cycle. We have a diverse and dedicated cycling community, a knowledgeable bike shop (Sunflower), and varied biking experiences," said Leonard Kristhalka, director of the Natural History Museum and avid cyclist.
Kristalka said he loves how someone can ride in the city and then be out in the country within five or 10 minutes. It's a feeling he said to the "freedom
to become exhilarated in the Kansas landscape."
The Countywide Bikeway System Plan is working toward a goal called Transportation 2040; its vision is "To advance bicycling as a safe and efficient

Rep. Valdenia Winn, D-Kansas City, listens as the House Select Investigative Committee held its first meeting April 1 in Topeka. Kansas legislators are reviewing a complaint against Winn during a legislative meeting.
Representative calls bill 'racist,' may face hearing
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
"This is a racist, sexist, fear-mongering bill."
That is how Rep. Valdenia Winn (D-Kansas City), who is a professor of history at KCK Community College, characterized a bill in the House Education Committee that would repeal in-state tuition for people living in Kansas illegally.
Winn: "I have dreaded this day because this is a racist, sexist, fear-mongering bill. I would like first to apologize to the progressively-minded people of Kansas who are appalled that we are turning back the hands of to, and I'm going to use strong language, Jim Crow tactics. And, once again, making Kansas a laughing stock. I want to apologize to the students and parents whose lives are being hijacked by the racist bigots who support this b'll, because this bill—"
According to The Topeka Capital-Journal, the comments in committee were as follows:
Winn: "I said supporters. You know what, you can do anything you want, but I am going to say what I have to say."
Rep. John Barker (R-Abilene): "Mr. Chairman, I object. She just referred to this committee as racist."
Barker: "I object."
Winn: "If the shoe fits ... it fits. This is an example of institutional racism."
Her comments during the committee meeting on March 19 prompted nine of her Republican colleagues to file a complaint, landing her in the middle of what could be a historic House Select Investigative Committee.
The Investigative Committee met April 1 to organize and set ground rules. It will decide whether to move forward with the investigation when session reconvenes in late April. Rep. Brandon Whipple (D-Wichita) is one of the six members on the select committee and said this type of hearing is very unusual.
"This is only the fourth time in state history where a complaint like this has been brought up where they had
to form an investigative committee," he said. "The last two times dealt with corruption."
The committee is made up of three Democrats and three Republicans, all of whom are appointed by the Speaker of the House. Whipple said the first meeting was uneventful, though he did question which rule Winn violated.
Alcala also questioned why it was only a portion of committee members who filed the complaint, especially since the chairman of the committee never ordered Winn to stand down.
"My question was about the complaint," he said. "The chairwoman confirmed that there was actually no violation of a House rule cited in the complaint against Dr. Winn."
OPINION 4
A&F 5
Since no House rule was broken, Rep. John Alcala (D-Topeka) said this can be chalked up to politics and hurt feelings.
wny was it that there were only eight or nine people who filed the complaint and why was it all men and not women?" he said. "Why didn't they file a complaint against the chair? Barker said she was out of order, and not once did the chair gavel her. She was operating within the rules of the committee. Some of the people that signed this comp are senior politicians, and I'm surprised they're so thin-skinned."
Index
Winn, who declined to comment, also referred to people who support the bill as bigoted. Alcala said there's a misconception of who she was referring to.
"I've been an elected official for 16 years, and the first thing I've learned being an elected official is to have tough skin, thick skin," Alcala said. "As an elected official, you know you can't please everybody, and when you take it personally and file a complaint like they did, I think it's political."
"The comment that she called them racist and bigoted, that's not true," he said. "What she said is anyone who supports it is that. I've seen worse things said on a committee. I see no Demo-

"It drives me crazy to read the Yelp reviews because I think sometimes people are just looking for a way to be mean," she said.
Yelp was "founded in 2004 to help people find great local businesses," according to the website.
Positive reviews on Yelp have the power to increase a business's yearly revenue. Owners and managers find it difficult to measure the potential monetary gain, but are much more emotionally affected by negative reviews.
Yelp gives power to consumers, but those interviewed did not feel the same potential for influence from their end. Consumers create profiles for businesses regardless of whether the business wants to be on the website or not. Negative reviews will not be removed, but untrue reviews can be flagged.
The effect reviews and ratings can have on independent businesses is substantial, according to a study conducted by a Harvard Business School assistant professor. The study showed that a one-star increase on Yelp leads to a 5 to 9 percent
increase in revenue each year.
Amy Savoie, general manager of Wheatfields Bakery Cafe, said there is no way to tell if the restaurant has seen an increase or decrease in revenue because of Yelp reviews. She said she could count how many people call for directions or store hours, but not how many people come to eat because of reviews they read on Yelp.
According to figures from the Digital Marketing Ramblings website, 26,380 Yelp reviews are posted online every minute. The article also says that the growth in Yelp reviews from 2013-14 was 41 percent.
Business owners and managers may find aspects of Yelp irritating, but the numbers prove that consumers use the website regularly and it does not appear that will change anytime soon.
The general manager of Zen Zero, Brett Showalter, also said there is no way to gauge the monetary gain attributed to customers who checked the restaurant's Yelp page. He said that although it's not the same thing, the restaurant has used Groupon, a coupon app, and could see the actual number of customers it brought in.
"With Groupon, there's numbers. There's no numbers with Yelp." Showalter said.
Tagtalianidis has good reason to keep track of this past year's revenue, but she couldn't say whether it has been affected by the Mad Greek's Yelp rating (which is currently 3.5 out of 5 stars). She said the reviews, of which the Mad Greek has 74, vary so drastically from one to five stars that she has no idea the difference they make.
"Our business has been up,
Negative Yelp reviews can catch a reader's attention, but some are so laughable that they are becoming a viral hit. An actor created a YouTube series called "Real Actors Read Yelp Reviews" that is intended to highlight the ridiculousness of some pessimistic reviews.
but do I attribute that to Yelp? Not really," Tagtalianidis said.
Although unfavorable reviews concern management, what may be more frustrating are comments that falsely describe businesses.
Tagtalianidis said she once read a review that was wrong on multiple accounts, so much so that she wasn't even sure if the reviewer was talking about the right restaurant.
The Yelp website warns businesses that "responding to criticism with criticism of your own will almost always work against you." It is this onesidedness that business owners and managers find irritating.
Showalter said he checks Yelp when looking for a place to eat in a new city. Business
with less than three stars won't receive his patronage. But as the manager of a local restaurant, he sees one of Yelp's faults as the inability to respond directly to customers who write negative or untrue reviews.
"On Yelp, anybody can say whatever they want," Showalter said. He said it is easier to apologize or explain a situation to a customer when they contact the restaurant directly.

crass held a complaint.
The committee, if it decides to move forward, could expel Winn from the House,
give her a citation or just reprimand her. Either way, the final decision will need a two-thirds vote of the House.
Whiple said because he hasn't spoken to fellow committee members about their feelings, he can't predict where they stand.
Members of the House Select Investigative Committee held their initial meeting in regards to Rep. Valdenia Winn, D-Kansas City on April 1.
"The upcoming meeting will decide if we have an investigation or not," Whipple said. "I haven't talked to any of the members to see what they think."
Alcala also preferred not to speculate on the outcome, and said he'd prefer to stick to the facts.
"They can't cite a violation they're having a hearing for," he said. "The other facts are there were two objections, and not once did the chair abstain or overrule, those are the facts. Do I think she's falsely accused? Yes. Do I think the people who filed the complaint are thin-skinned? Yes. Do I think their feelings are really hurt? That's something they'll have to answer for themselves."
While he said everything in the legislature is obviously political, this instance is a different kind of politics.
"I would think if it gets pushed out of committee
with some kind of reprimand it becomes attack politics," he said. "I think that everything is political, but this seems to be a single attack on Rep. Dr. Winn."
Citing hurt feelings as a reason for the complaint, Alcala said there are more important things to deal with in the legislature than a representative using her First Amendment rights and legislative immunity that happened to step on the wrong toes.
"This shows how things get tangled up in political webs at the Capitol," he said. "We have more important things to deal with than people getting their feelings hurt to tie up time and money in the House. If you look at legislative immunity, that statute, it gives you the freedom to cast your opinion without any recourse."
This isn't the first time this bill has caused controversy. In 2013, Secretary of State Kris Kobach pushed the same

When the Huffington Post ran the story with her statement, she received death threats, was harassed and was called nearly every name in the book. As this new round of controversy launches into full swing, Alcala said the accusations against Winn are "bogus."
"People got mad and they didn't know how to address their anger other than to file a complaint that is bogus according to the rules," Alcala said. "Rep. Dr. Winn is very outspoken. She says what she thinks, and she represents her people well. They just don't like that."

In 2014, Lawrence created a bike lane along Ninth Street from Avalon Road to Vermont Street, a busy residential area that Dittemore said he uses to make Jimmy John's deliveries on his bike almost every day.
Shelby Lemon, president of Bike KU, said she's glad Lawrence has the non-profit organization Lawrence Unchained. Lawrence Unchained is a part of a movement "to get people on bikes by creating spaces where old bikes can be rehabilitated," according to its website. Its goal is to teach cyclists how to stay safe and maintain their bikes.

Retracted Rolling Stone rape article leaves many angry
DAVID CRARY
Associated Press
CRAIG RUTTLE/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Columbia Journalism School Academic Dean Sheila Coronet, left, and Columbia Journalism School Dean Steve Coll discuss findings of a report conducted at the school surrounding Rolling Stone magazine's expose of what it called a culture of sex assaults at the University of Virginia on Monday in New York.
NEW YORK - The furor over a retracted Rolling Stone article may deter some rape victims from coming forward, but the national campaign to curb sexual assaults on college campuses will keep gaining strength, according to advocates who have been following the high-profile case.
I'll be there.
The November 2014 article, purporting to describe a vicious gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity house, was retracted by Rolling Stone on Sunday after the Columbia Journalism School issued a scathing critique of how the story was reported and edited. The critical report followed an announcement by police officials last month that investigators had found no evidence to back the claims of the alleged victim.
Advocates for victims of sexual assault, in interviews Monday, had mixed views on the legacy of the Rolling Stone article.
"I'm afraid this will perpetuate the myth that sexual assault on campus is this made-up phenomenon," said Alison Kiss, executive director of the Clery Center for Security On Campus. "It puts a lot more on the plate of those who are working to combat it."
Kiss described on-campus sexual assault as an epidemic that needs to be addressed aggressively. The rate of false reports, she said, is between 2 percent and 10 percent.
At the University of California-Los Angeles, anti-violence activist Savannah Badalich also worried that the Rolling Stone retraction might dissuade some assault victims from coming forward. Badalich, a senior who is UCLA's student wellness commissioner, has written about being sexually assaulted during her
sophomore year and deciding not to report the incident. She subsequently founded a group called 7,000 in Solidarity that campaigns against sexual violence on campus.
"Survivors often jumble their stories — they remember bits and pieces," she said. "Now this becomes this evidence for people who are trying to oppose violence-prevention efforts on campus. They say, 'Hey, this is an example of someone lying about their case just to get reported'"
Rolling Stone, she said, did a disservice to the woman featured in its article by not fact-checking her account more rigorously.
"If we take this as a teachable moment on how to report on incidents of violence like this, it could be positive," she said.
however, Badalich said there could be a positive legacy to the case if journalists improve the overall coverage of sexual assault.
Scott Berkowitz, president of the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network in Washington, D.C., said he was hopeful that the case would have only a limited deterrent effect on victims.
"This was such an unusual case in every respect." he said. "I think most victims would see that it's easily distinguishable from their own cases."
Berkowitz noted that the University of Virginia and the local police department responded vigorously when the allegations surfaced last year.
"There was a tremendous amount of attention and effort put into investigating them and taking them seriously," he said. "Hopefully that would be comforting to victims."
Nationally, Berkowitz predicts that efforts to curb on-campus sexual assault will gain further momentum, with active engagement by the White House, the NCAA and
many other parties.
"We've seen a tremendous amount of effort from college administrators in the past year," he said. "I wish everything about this... case had never happened, but the country is going to continue to pay more attention to sexual violence on campus."
At the University of Virginia, a group of students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and board members has formed to explore how to improve the safety and well-being of sexual assault survivors and other students. The effort is focusing on prevention, institutional response and campus culture, holding town meetings and preparing recommendations for changes.
Some students have called for disciplinary action against the
"It seemed to me so splasty and flashy — it set the bar so high for what campus sexual assault looks like," Stapleton said. "I worried that some survivors might have thought, "My assault wasn't so bad.
purported victim in the Rolling Stone article, identified only as lackie. Her lawyer, Palma Pustilnik, told The Associated Press on Monday that "we are not making any comment at all at this time."
Somehow I am less of a victim."
At the University of New Hampshire's Prevention Innovations center, co-director Jane Stapleton and her colleagues have been working to develop and evaluate programs to help end violence against women.
"Then, with the retraction, you have some people saying.
As soon as she read the Rolling Stone article, Stapleton became concerned about its sensational aspects.
"...the daily amount of sexual assault on campus is scandalous enough. We don't need to sensationalize it to report the story."
LISA MAATZ American Association of University Women
'Well, she was lying. She had ulterior motives.' Stapleton added. "The effect on some survivors would be. 'Well, I'm never going to tell my story because nobody's going to believe me."
However, Stapleton expressed long-term optimism.
"There's more and more attention to sexual assaults on campus, and what campuses need to do to prevent them," she said.
Lisa Maatz, the top policy adviser for the American Association of University Women, said it likely would be a boon for advocates to be able to move past the Rolling Stone case.
"We've seen that it's only a very sensational, scandalous story that gets the attention," she said. "Truthfully, the daily amount of sexual assault on campus is scandalous enough. We don't need to sensationalize it to report the story."

Campus should be safe, not just certain areas
Anrenee Reasor
@anreneer
Are you aware of your language and behavior? Do you think that what you say creates an "unsafe" area for those around you? The Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity, along with the Office of Multicultural Affairs, created Safe Zone as "an educational program that will help educate both the campus... community in order to create a safer, more civil community for all individuals, particularly those of sexuality and/or gender minorities." The University offers Safe Zone training for students who want to learn more about fostering a safe environment. The program's purpose is to reduce "homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism on our campus to make KU a safer and freer
environment for all members of our community..."
The University followed other colleges in creating these safe zones, Judith Shulevitz's New York Times essay on safe spaces describes them as areas for an "expression of the conviction, increasingly prevalent among college students, that their schools should keep them from being 'bombarded' by discomfiting or distressing viewpoints." In contrast, the
goal of Safe Zone is definitely not to warn people where they won't be bullied, but instead, it tells individuals to feel comfortable with themselves without worry of microaggressions aimed at them because of their identities.

and heterosexism, right?
Are safe zones a good idea?
Of course. Students should have a place to go where they can freely communicate without receiving backlash from others. But, wouldn't it be better if the safe zones weren't necessary in the first place?
People should always feel safe expressing themselves, regardless of what they identify as. I don't like the idea of marking certain areas as safe because it marks others as unsafe. I consider my area safe, but I do not have a Safe Zone sticker on my door.
I know many individuals who promote diversity, yet they do not have Safe Zone stickers, as well. On our University's campus, all places should be assumed to be safe.

University should take the lead on LEED
Gabrielle Murnan
@GabrielleKansan
What do Duke University, the University of Iowa and the University of Illinois have in common? These institutions have adopted design standards that require a minimum LEED Silver or Gold certification for new construction on campus, and they are not the only ones. All over the country, campuses are stepping up their "green game and getting busy with LEED certifications.
The U.S. Green Building Council established LEED certification, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, as a mechanism for a
third-party rating of building efficiency and sustainability. Currently, the University does not require LEED certification of new buildings or major renovation projects. In order to stay competitive, decrease operation costs and foster sustainability, the University must reevaluate its design standards.
LEED standards. Rather, they use a different rating program, called ASHRAE, which focuses solely on energy use, but does not consider water use, sustainable materials or indoor environmental quality. Our design standard allows for continued monitoring and
sustainability. LEED certified facilities use 25 percent less energy and lead to 19 percent reduction in total operational costs, compared to non-LEED certified buildings. Additionally, green buildings have been shown to cost "an average of two percent more"
In order to become LEED certified,building projects must earn points in five different categories: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. It is common for large organizations such as universities to establish energy-efficient design standards for new construction; however, few standards are as rigorous or holistic as LEED.The University has its own set of energy-efficient design standards that outline the benefits of LEED, yet do not utilize

maintenance to ensure that energy efficiency is retained throughout the life of the building—a component of the LEED certification that is largely missing.
In a time of rapidly decreasing state funding for higher education, the University needs to invest in
in upfront construction costs if planned and executed correctly. Investing in the world's premier standard for green building will produce savings in energy and operating costs. In short, putting a little bit more effort and cost now will pay off in the future—a philosophy that higher education was built on.
As students at an international research institution, we have certain expectations for the facilities in which we live, learn and discover. The mission of the University of Kansas is to educate leaders, build healthy communities and make discoveries that change the world. Let's start by building our own healthy community. Let's start by requiring all new construction to be LEED Silver certified. These new spaces will provide a sustainable foundation for the education of future doctors and politicians, where discoveries that inspire and heal are made. Investing in LEED is investing in success.

Chantel Mosher, a freshman from Great Bend, started a fashion blog over a year ago as a creative outlet. She now has thousands of fans from all over the world.
Freshman blogger pulls inspiration from more than just fashion
KATHERINE HARTLEY
@kat_hart9
Upon first entering the Wandering with C blog homepage, readers are greeted with an array of pictures and color, accompanied by cheery posts written about fashion and the blogger's life. On the other side of the screen is the creator, Chantel Mosher, a freshman from Great Bend, who started her blog over a year ago.
"I just did it as a creative outlet," Mosher said. "I wanted to combine my writing and photography and love for fashion. It kind of just took off. I didn't think people would actually read my posts of take me seriously, but it just all sort of happened really quickly."
"I really love connecting with other bloggers, especially through Instagram and social media. I get that sort of 'in' to see what everyone else is up and I've made a lot of friends from it, which is really cool," she said.
Mosher, a psychology and English literature double major, now has an Instagram with more than 2,000 followers, a Facebook and a Pinterest account connected to her blog.
The blog is an accumulation of Mosher's life thus far. Her interest in fashion began early on, when she refused to wear anything but dresses every day in kindergarten. While describing herself as a girlly-girl, Mosher said her style is still changing every day.
Her stepfather's interest in
photography led Mosher to pick up the hobby early on, a skill she still uses daily.
"He had all of these different film cameras that he let me play with when I was growing up and he finally bought me my first digital camera," she said. "It was the most exciting day of my life, because he would not buy me one until I learned with film, which was really difficult at first, but it ended up being really rewarding."
Mosher said that aside from fashion, traveling is one of her biggest inspirations.
Last summer, on a whim, Mosher decided to buy a plane ticket to Europe and solo-travel the continent for a month before starting her freshman year at Kansas. She and her parents had talked about her dream to travel before and once she found a good time frame and a cheap plane ticket, she set off. She visited London and the English countryside, the Netherlands, Amsterdam and Paris. While in London, she met one of her blog readers, who had seen that Mosher was in Europe through her Instagram pictures, and happened to be traveling at the same time as well.
"I like to go places," she said. "I'm just really curious about everything and so that really inspires me to just run with it and blog about things that I am passionate about and can really relate to."
Aside from the blog reader, Mosher met Tyler Keenan, also from Great Bend, who was backpacking alone through Europe at the same time.
"I didn't expect that at all, so it was kind of just another way that my blog has helped me," Mosher said.
Keenan said after realizing they would cross paths in

Reports say Netflix may have 'Full House' remake
Kelly Cordingley
@kellycordingley
The show most of us plopped down to watch from our terribly uncomfortable plastic blowup chairs while munching on Fruit Gushers and drinking orange Fanta may soon be remade.
While nothing is set in stone yet, media outlets, including CNN, E! and Yahoo!, are reporting Netflix will probably carry a new series, "Fuller House," a revival of the popular '90s sitcom "Full House."
The remake is rumored to star former Full House actress Candace Cameron Bure returning to her role as DJ, the oldest sister from the Tanner

household. She may be accompanied by Andrea Barber, who played her best friend on the show, Kimmy Gibbler. According to CNN, John Stamos, who played beloved, hair-obsessed, rockandrolling Uncle Jesse on the original show, will be a producer on the show. CNN also reports Jeff Franklin, the original creator, will be involved in the remake.
The TODAY Show tweeted its excitement, using Uncle Jesse's go-to phrase. Entertainment Tonight also expressed excitement, tweeting "#Full-
House revival might be headed to @Netflix and we couldn't be more excited!
E! Online had a few suggestions for what the plot of the revival could be. Speculations ranged from DJ and her father, Danny Tanner, becoming stoners together, Kimmy Gibbler finally getting her own key to the house so she can stop bargaining in, Steve and DJ marrying and having three children together, and Danny finally getting a cleaning lady. Personally, I'm hoping Comet, the family dog, has some fluffy kiddos running around.
John Stamos, Bob Saget (who played Danny Tanner) and Dave Coulier (who played Joey Gladstone) are all expected to make guest appearances on the show, according to reports, though Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are less likely to be Tanners again.
"Fuller House" would follow the trend of revivals of other popular '90s shows, such as "Boy Meets World" and "The X-Files." We can only hope this, too, is legitimate.

"When I met Chantel, Wandering With C had existed for five months or so, but years before meeting her, I stumbled upon her writing on Tumblr. I thought it was excellent and I've followed her blogging ever since," he said.
Amsterdam ended up becoming Mosher's favorite stop, style-wise, which surprised her.
"I thought I would fall in love with Paris because it's every girl's dream fashion place, but Amsterdam really had the diversity that I was looking for," she said. "Everyone was just happy with what they had and no one really cared what anyone else was doing."
"Chantel is a cat-loving, star-gazing, wanderlust-inspired, word-obsessed human being," Keenan said. "She embraces who she is and remains fearless and passionate in everything she creates."
— Edited by Valerie Haag
Keenan said Mosher's blog will become well-known because of her ability to not only write and photograph well, but also to continue to be herself.
Mosher spent most of the trip documenting her travels on Instagram, and returned to her blog once she got back to the States. Since then, it has grown and she hopes it will continue to do so. As an English major, Mosher is drawn to the writing part of blogging and hopes that she can make a career out of the hobby that she loves.
"I want to start treating it more like a business instead of a hobby," she said. "Blogging has definitely taught me that you can write for a living, which is weird because no little girl says, 'Oh, when I grow up I want to be a blogger' or anything. I just want to travel, and write, and be happy. That's what I want to do with my life."

"I continue to read her blog because it is a very real thing," said Melissa Wertheim, a sophomore from Tampa and fellow Alpha Gamma Delta. "Since I actually know Chantel personally, I see how her personality shines through her writing and I appreciate that a lot. That is why I think her blog is unique."
Friends, sorority sisters and readers of Mosher see the potential in her blog and her dreams, too.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Will the Oklahoma City Thunder make the playoffs as an eight seed?
Dylan Sherwood
@dmantheman2011
YES
The Oklahoma City Thunder have major impact players out.
including Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka, but one guy they have healthy is playing his best is Russell Westbrook.
Westbrook has been a triple-double machine, recording 11 triple-doubles on the season, with his last coming on Sunday at home vs. the Houston Rockets. In that game Westbrook had 40 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists.
The guard is currently averaging 27.5 points,8.6 assists and 7.2 rebounds per game in 61 games played.
For now, Durant and Ibaka may be out, however, it's possible that Ibaka could
come back if the Thunder make it to the NBA Playoffs
Ibaka leads the Thunder in blocked shots per game with 2.4, and he's averaged 14.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game for the Thunder in 64 games played this year. Durant on the other hand has had multiple injuries throughout the year, but averaged 25.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in 27 games played.
One player who has made an impact for the Thunder in a midseason trade is Enes Kanter. Kanter was traded away from Utah, where he just did not fit into the Jazz's system. He found himself a home in Oklahoma City.
The third year player out of Kentucky, has played 20 games for the Thunder and has been key with Thunder forward and former Jayhawk Nick Collision out with an ankle injury.
Kanter is averaging 18.4 points and 11.6 rebounds per game, ever since the Thunder got him from the Jazz.
playoffs, with Ibaka scheduled to come back, the Thunder could give their first round opponent a good test. If the Thunder were in the playoffs currently, they would take on the best team in the league in the Golden State Warriors.
If Westbrook and Kanter could lead this team to the
With five games to play, the Thunder play three teams with below.500 records,but two of those contests are away from Oklahoma City. The other two teams the Thunder plays are the Spurs at home tonight and on April 13 against the Portland Trail Blazers.
If the Thunder could get balanced with an injury-bugged team, this team could see themselves in the playoffs. Westbrook is going to have put up even bigger numbers in the last few games of the season or the Thunder will miss the playoffs for the first time since they moved to Oklahoma City prior to the 2008-09 season.

With the NBA Playoffs approaching.
NO
the race for the eight seed in the Western Conference has boiled down to three teams: the Oklahoma City Thunder, the New Orleans Pelicans and
"BETWEEN NEW ORLEANS AND OKLAHOMA CITY, THE THUNDER HAVE AN EASIER ROAD IN THE FINAL WEEK OF THE SEASON."
the Phoenix Suns.
As it sits now, Oklahoma City holds a half-game lead over New Orleans for the eight spot and a three-game lead over Phoenix. The Thunder do not play either team in the final week of the season, while the Pelicans and Suns meet April 10. This game is essentially a must-win for Phoenix, and New Orleans can inch closer to Oklahoma City with a win.
Between New Orleans and Oklahoma City, the Thunder have an easier road in the final week of the season. In their final six games, the Pelicans play Golden State, Memphis, Houston and San Antonio, four of the top six teams in the West. The Thunder only have to slave off San Antonio and Portland, two of the top six in the West.
Phoenix would need a lot of help from both New Orleans and Oklahoma City. They would also have to win at least three of their final five games to hang around in the playoff hunt.
Although they face the tougher opponents, this
might play into the favor of the Pelicans if some of the teams rest players.
One factor to take into account is the Thunder are without Kevin Durant for the remainder of the season, while the Pelicans have been able to stay relatively healthy towards the end of the regular season after battling injuries early. Guard Jure Holiday is out with a stress fracture in his right leg, but guard Tyreke Evans is set to return from an ankle sprain Wednesday against Memphis.
After returning from a shoulder sprain in February, forward Anthony Davis has come back strong and has three 30-plus point games. nine 20-plus point games and one 43-point outing in 14 games.
If Davis can continue his impressive play through the Pelicans final six games and have Tyreke Evans return fully healthy, they will have every chance to compete with and possibly overtake the Thunder for the final Western Conference playoff spot.
Ventura overcomes thumb cramp, Royals rout White Sox
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Edited by Miranda Davis
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Yordano Ventura pitched six solid innings before leaving with a thumb cramp, Alex Rios had a three-run homer among his three hits and the AL champion Kansas City Royals routed the Chicago White Sox 10-1 on Monday.
Ventura was replaced by Kelvin Herrera in the seventh after crumpling to the ground following a strike to Adam LaRoche. The preliminary report was a right thumb cramp. Ventura will be evaluated later this week, but Royals trainers said it is not believed to be serious.

Rios, who was making his Kansas City debut, homered in a five-run seventh with Kendrys Morales and Alex Gordon aboard. Gordon stroked a two-
Jose Abreu homered in the seventh for Chicago.
White Sox right-hander Jeff Samardzija, who did not allow a run in 15 innings during a pair of opening-day starts with the Chicago Cubs the past two years, yielded five runs and six hits in six-plus innings. He walked three, hit two batters with pitches and threw a wild pitch.
After an exhilarating postseason run last year that ended with a Game 7 loss to San Francisco in the World Series, the Rovals got off to a fast start in 2015.
Alcides Escobar and Mike Moustakas, their first two hitters, went a combined 4 for 7, plus two walks, and scored five runs. Moustakas homered the opposite way in the fifth off Samardzija.
Ryan Madson pitched a scoreless ninth for the Royals, his first big league
appearance since Sept. 28, 2011
TRAINER'S ROOM
WHITE SOX: LHP Chris Sale, who broke his right foot Feb. 27, struck out seven and allowed a run on three hits in seven innings during a minor league game in Arizona. Sale is on target to come off the disabled list Sunday and start against Minnesota.
ROYALS: Gordon, who was limited to 10 exhibition games and hit just .200 in 35 at-bats following right wrist surgery in December, might be given periodic rests early in the season.

COMMENTARY
Recruiting could improve team culture
T the Kansas men's basketball team needs some new faces next
season. One of the biggest issues that the team faced this season was what looked like the lack of a winning mindset.
Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein
The easiest way to change these issues is to bring new players into the program. Seven of the top 12 recruits for next season are currently undeclared, and Kansas could use the help of a few of them.
Kansas' lack of a solid low-post big man was evident throughout most of the season and No.10 recruit Stephen Zimmerman fits that build well. Zimmerman is a 7-foot-tall left-handed center.
Bill Self is well-known for his high-low offensive mindset when it comes to big men. Landen Lucas will likely start the season at the center position, but has not yet proven his ability to effectively perform on the offensive side of the ball.
Thorne is 6-foot-11 and weighs 270 pounds. He would bring a similar skill and mindset to the Jayhawks that Black did. He is a big body down low and brings the experience of having played four years of college basketball already.In 26 minutes per game, Thorne averaged 10 points and eight reboundss.
Cheick Diallo would be the best-case scenario for Kansas at the big man position.
Zimmerman has the ability to run the floor and can finish strong at the rim. He also has an outside shot that he can continue to develop his freshman year at college. Zimmerman is considering Kansas, UNLV, Kentucky and Arizona among others
Thorne is scheduled to visit Kansas on May 1. Thorne has narrowed down his choices to three schools: Kansas, Pittsburgh and Illinois. He announced on Instagram that he will make his decision on April 25th
Dialio is the No. 11 recruit in the country at 6-foot-9. Dialio was named the McDonald's All-American Game MVP after recording 18 points and 10 rebounds. Dialio brings a similar skill set to the table that Kansas commit Carlton Bragg does
Another option for Kansas at the big man position is Mike Thorne Jr.
Whoever it is, Kansas needs help at the big man position. If Self is to continue running his high-low offense, the Jayhawks will need to improve at the position.
Thorne is a senior transferring from Charlotte, N.C. He has already graduated and, similarly to former Jayhawk Tarik Black, he will not have to sit out a year after transferring.

A QUIET VICTOR
Claudijah Lever: The award-winner you probably don't know
GRIFFIN HUGHES
@GriffinHughes
As reporters, when an athlete wins an award, our job is quite simple.
Claudijah Lever, a senior on the Kansas rowing team, won the 2015 Marlene Mawson Award for her excellence as an athlete, student and philanthropist.
E
We interview the athlete and he or she says, "It's an honor." We interview his or her teammates and they say, "It's the work ethic and ability that sets him or her apart." We interview the coach, who says the athlete stands out and deserves to be recognized.
And when we do all this, we sometimes lose touch with who the athlete really is. We lose touch with the fact that a person is being honored
selection to the Fall Athletic Director's and Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll, and she was All-Academic First Team last year. She works as a Big Sister and volunteers at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, extending her help to anyone who needs it.
This is the story of Claudidjah Lever, a senior whose effect on our community extends far beyond what she does on the water.
“[My little sister] just looks up to me. She doesn't care that I'm an athlete,” Lever said. “I do it because I want to... it gives me a warm feeling in my heart. Things that give you the most joy are free, and my helpful hand is free.”
Yes, Lever is a rower. Lever is a rower who won the 2015 Marlene Mawson Award for her excellence as an athlete, as a student and as a philanthropist. Her drive comes from her upbringing.
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
She talked about her parents, and their attitude — that if she wasn't rowing, getting good grades and working outside of school, she wasn't really doing anything.
"My dad is my motivator," she said.
"I did it for my parents," Lever said.
Lever helped lead her varsity eight boat to a third-place finish in last year's Big 12 Championship. She took her second varsity eight boat to a second-place finish at that same competition during her sophomore season.
She has been a three-time
ROB CATLOTH Kansas rowing coach
"Attitude, action, devotion and hard work... are all the things that as a coach [1] appreciate."
she still continues to learn from Lever, which can also be summed up in just one simple phrase.
"We all want to be that same way," Obrocha said.
Not only is her "helpful hand" free to the community, it's free to her teammates. Senior Brooke Thuston has been with Lever throughout her entire time at the University, and her view of her teammate can be summed up in just three words.
"She motivates me,"Thuston said.
Kenzie Obrochta is a sophomore this year. When she entered the program, Lever was well entrenched as a leader and a star on the team. Obrochta has a rowing pedigree. She is from Buffalo, where rowing is as natural to her as football is to the South. Despite rowing all her life,
Every program needs a signature athlete, one who defines the early stages of the sport through her athletic performance and her influence on her teammates and coach.
Lever has helped the veterans improve and the rookies learn.
Unfortunately, in a school where basketball is the light at the end of every day's tunnel, rowing goes unnoticed and so do the athletes.
"It's tough." Obrocha said. "People just don't know what we do. They have no idea the work we put in... [they] don't give us respect for what we do."
But Lever is a special athlete who won a special award. She represents all the athletes who get looked over by people like me when we're trying to find a story.
Attitude, action, devotion and hard work... are all the things that as a coach [1] appreciate," coach Rob Catloth said. "Do coaches have favorites? Yeah, the ones that work hard... and try to make the team better. They're [our] favorites."
You won't find a much more compelling story than Claudjah Lever. This is a story of dedication, passion, and love, not just to the sport, but to her team and her community.
Catloth hopes for a "long line" of award winners as the team gets older, and all lines
nave to start with one point.
"I don't look at her any differently [now]," Catloth said. But history always will.
History will see her as an award winner. Catloth will look at her as a leader on his best boat. Kansas rowing will look at her as the start of the rich tradition it's building.
But what Lever has done transcends opinion and history.
By being the first rower to win the Marlene Mawson Award, she's made her permanent mark on KU rowing, but she doesn't see it like that. For her, it's just one less space in the trophy cabinet.
Whether she's recognized or not, she'll continue to excel on the water, in school and change her community as she's done throughout her career.
I may try to paint her as a star but her team will always see her as, simply, Claudijah Lever.

McLaughlin earns Big 12 Newcomer of the Week honor
Kansas baseball's Matt McLaughlin has been selected Big 12 Newcomer of the Week for his outstanding play throughout the week of March 30-April 5.
The Big 12 announced Monday that the freshman third-baseman was chosen for the award along with West Virginia junior Blake Smith for week eight of the season.
"I am absolutely thrilled for McLaughlin," head coach Ritch Price said in a KU Athletics
press release. "He is having an outstanding season both offensively and defensively, and he is well deserving of this honor."
McLaughlin earned the award for his dominance in the batter's box during last week's games. The freshman produced seven hits in 18 at bats, including three doubles and four RBs
Since beginning Big 12 play, McLaughlin ranks second among all players in the conference with a .435 batting average and tops the league in on base percentage, getting on base over 55 percent of his at bats.
As the hitting streaks of teammates Connor McKay and
Blair Beck were snapped last week. McLaughlin earned a hit in every game and currently leads the team with an eight-game hitting streak.
"When we recruited McLaughlin, we had high expectations for him becoming an impact player," Price said. "It has been a pleasure to watch his development over the course of the season."
McLaughlin will look to continue his hot streak on the diamond starting Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark against New Mexico to begin a 10 game home-stand.

Former KU guard JoJo White to be inducted into Basketball Hall of Fame
Former Kansas Jayhawk great Jo Jo White will be the 18th Jayhawk to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Sept. 11 in Springfield, Mass., the hall of fame announced Monday.
White played guard for Kansas from 1965-69, and was named to The Sporting News and Converse First Team-All America in 1968. White scored 1,286 points — 29th all-time at Kansas — while shooting 42 percent from the field.
White was drafted ninth overall
in 1969 by the Boston Celtics and went on to make seven all-star teams and win two NBA Championships. He averaged 17.2 points per game, 4.9 assists and 4.0 rebounds in his 11-year career.
White is among five others who will be inducted in September, including NBA referee Dick Betetta, Kentucky coach John Calipari, former NBA forward Spencer Haywood, former NBA center Dikembe Mutombo and three-time WNBA MVP Lisa Leslie.
Both White and Haywood were part of the USA National Team which won an Olympic gold medal in 1968.

ebate essentially is an nity for the student
body, coalition members and everyone to see the candidates in action," Pringle said. "I think it's important for candidates to display their knowledge, experience and credibility and a debate allows for that."
"It's really just to spread more awareness about the potential Student Senate is capable of. There's so much imagine wants to do to affect everyone." Rainey said. "We want to empower and engage the student body and encourage them to support and re-engage with Student Senate. It's about telling our story and explaining to students that we represent them, but we also want them to feel comfortable to come to Student Senate... hopefully this will lead to a more safe and inclusive campus that is about action."

COMMENTARY Recruiting could improve team culture
Ben Felderstein
@Ben_Felderstein
The Kansas men's basketball team needs some new faces next
season. One of the biggest issues that the team faced this season was what looked like the lack of a winning mindset.
The easiest way to change these issues is to bring new players into the program. Seven of the top 12 recruits for next season are currently undeclared, and Kansas could use the help of a few of them.
Kansas' lack of a solid lowpost big man was evident throughout most of the season and No. 10 recruit Stephen Zimmerman fits that build well. Zimmerman is a 7-foot-tall left-handed center.
Bill Self is well-known for his high-low offensive mindset when it comes to big men. Landen Lucas will likely start the season at the center position, but has not yet proven his ability to effectively perform on the offensive side of the ball.
Zimmerman has the ability to run the floor and can finish strong at the rim. He also has an outside shot that he can continue to develop his freshman year at college. Zimmerman is considering Kansas, UNLV, Kentucky and Arizona among others.
Another option for Kansas at the big man position is Mike Thorne Jr.
Thorne is a senior transferring from Charlotte, N.C. He has already graduated and, similarly to former Jayhawk Tarik Black, he will not have to sit out a year after transferring.
Thorne is scheduled to visit Kansas on May 1. Thorne has narrowed down his choices to three schools: Kansas, Pittsburgh and Illinois. He announced on Instagram that he will make his decision on April 25th.
Thorne is 6-foot-11 and weighs 270 pounds. He would bring a similar skill and mindset to the Jayhawks that Black did. He is a big body down low and brings the experience of having played four years of college basketball already. In 26 minutes per game, Thorne averaged 10 points and eight rebounds.
Cheick Diallo would be the best-case scenario for Kansas at the big man position.
Diallo is the No. 11 recruit in the country at 6-foot-9. Diallo was named the McDonald's All-American Game MVP after recording 18 points and 10 rebounds. Diallo brings a similar skill set to the table that Kansas commit Carlton Bragg does.
Whoever it is, Kansas needs help at the big man position. If Self is to continue running his high-low offense, the Jayhawks will need to improve at the position.

This illustration provided by the School of Business shows what the new building is projected to look like after construction is completed.
University School of Business finalizes building design plans
LANE COFAS
@alleynahC
The University's School of Business has finalized its designs that will include an updated heating and cooling system and extra room for students to work.
The new building will stand at four-stories tall and 155,000 square feet, according to a press release from the University.
This new design focuses on giving students more space to study after classes and meet with other students in a place to both study and hang out.
Jim Guthrie, co-chair of the building committee and professor of business, said the building will have a north bar, which will house mostly classrooms and study areas, and a south bar that will house faculty offices and will be ioined by a central atrium.
The atrium will have large spaces for students and an ease of transportation while walking throughout the building, according to the release.
Guthrie also said the way Summerfield is built now, students will normally leave the building right after they're done with class because there
are not open places where students can study and talk with their peers.
Guthrie also said the classrooms are designed to support student-centered learning, with a number of flexible classrooms made mainly for team-based activities.
"We're trying to make it, as the architects say,'a real sticky space," Guthrie said. "The architects very early on kind of identified Wescoe Beach as sort of an interesting area where students congregate."
Business students are also looking forward to current climate controls, said Kyle
Bishop, a junior in the business school.
"We sweat all summer long because the air conditioning at Summerfield is from the Stone Age, and in the winter, it's like being baked in a 1960s-style oven," Bishop said.
Guthrie said the new building was designed to be more energy efficient by creating 10 different features For more information on the new building design and for more pictures visit newbuilding.business.ku.edu

Kansas freshman Cliff Alexander to enter the NBA Draft

Kansas freshman forward Cliff Alexander will enter the 2015 NBA Draft, the University announced on Tuesday. Alexander will join fellow freshman Kelly Oubre Jr., who declared last week.
"This should come as no surprise to anybody," said Kansas coach Bill Self in the press release. "During his time here, Cliff certainly got better. I loved coaching Cliff, but we support his decision 100 percent to move on and take his ability to the next level."
In his lone season at KU, Alexander averaged just 7.1
points and 5.3 rebounds per game, while shooting 56.6-percent from the field. He had several memorable moments, including a 15-point, 9-rebound game against Texas, in addition to two double-doubles.
However, Alexander was held out of the Jayhawks' final eight contests as a precaution to a potential NCAA violation, and the Jayhawks finished the year with a loss to Wichita State in the NCAA Tournament's Round of 32.
"I talked this over with my
Currently, DraftExpress has Alexander slotted as the no. 32 overall prospect, but he may end up going much higher in the draft, considering he was the no. 3 ranked recruit coming out of high school in 2014. The NBA Draft will be held on June 25 in New York.

Mass Street Soda, a craft soda shop on the corner of 11th and Massachusetts streets, will open a new location in Kansas City, Kan., around June.
The new store will be called Kansas City Soda Co., and will be located in the Legends shopping district in Wyandotte County.
"We've always felt like we have a product people enjoy and we want to share that with as many people as possible,"
"We've been having a lot of fun here..It's been fun selling all these sodas."

Baysinger and his co-owner Luke Thompson opened the store in early 2014. He said that expanding his business

"Anytime you go from one [location] to two it doubles the amount of work," said Bayshire. "Lawrence is and always will be our home base. We've been hands-on with the growth and progress of this store."
Baysinger and Thompson will remain based in Lawrence at the company's original location. Baysinger said the company will have to hire new managers and employees for the new location.
was something both owners planned to do eventually.
Baysinger and Thompson also work with Matt Duval, who works as Mass Street Soda's manager. Duval was part of the process of deciding to expand and is also excited the company is making the move.
"We've been having a lot of fun here. It's been fun selling all these sodas." Duval said.
Duval said he was initially worried that Mass Street Soda would be "a little slower" in the wintertime, but said business was steady throughout the year.

Student Senate coalition candidates to debate tomorrow
ALANA FLINN alana_flinn
The presidential nominees from the Imagine and Advance KU Student Senate coalitions will participate in the 2015 Elections Commission Presidential Debate tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. in the Spahr Engineering classroom, located in Eaton Hall. The debate is open to the public, but seating is limited. Thirty seats will be open to the general audience, with 30 seats for Imagine, 30 seats for Advance KU and 10 seats for media.
WHO
WHAT
Advance KU nominee: Junior Jessie Pringle Imagine nominee: Senior Katherine Rainey
"The debate essentially is an opportunity for the student
body, coalition members and everyone to see the candidates in action," Pringle said. "I think it's important for candidates to display their knowledge, experience and credibility and a debate allows for that."
"It's really just to spread more awareness about the potential Student Senate is capable of. There's so much imagine wants to do to affect everyone," Rainey said. "We want to empower and engage the student body and encourage them to support and re-engage with Student Senate. It's about telling our story and explaining to students that we represent them, but we also want them to feel comfortable to come to Student Senate... hopefully this will lead to a more safe and inclusive campus that is about action."
WHY
ADVANCE KU
1. CREATION OF A NATIVE AMERICAN ADVISORY BOARD
2. PUBLIC COURSE EVALUATIONS
"There is a possibility to create a Native American Advisory Board, what that is is a group of tribal leaders and community leaders that would meet, discuss and then recruit and retain Native American students," Pringle said. "We have a student that we're working with who has done extensive research on how to implement that."
"We've been working really hard with faculty and advising administration on how to publicize public course evaluations," Pringle said. "We would publicize those to students so when
students look for future courses, they can read upon the course and those experiences in a more legitimate way."
3. SHUTTLE SYSTEM FROM KU TO KANSAS CITY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
"Were looking to do a shuttle system to KCI for students who need a ride for the airport," Pringle said. "I think it's important to provide a service to students who find it difficult to find a ride, whether it be a very expensive private system or a friend. There's a lot of students who go home out of state and either everyone's gone or they can't give them a ride, so it's a lot more trouble than people think it is."
IMAGINE
1. CONNECTIONS
"If you look at our Connecting Community platform, it's really focusing on that KU has been very reactionary to things that have happened on campus," Rainey said. "We're looking to move forward to a point where we're aware of awareness and prevention. We want to work with GaDuGi, the Willow Center and the Emily Taylor Center. These connections will foster and create a safe space for these survivors who have come to us or the University and they do not feel safe at KU."
2. A POINT SYSTEM
"Another thing we're really emphasizing is being inclusive in names and classes," Rainey said. "With that, we're focusing on the diversity that lies at KU and not just in the simple sense. One of our favorite

A set measurable goal, such as 10,000 steps, gives people who are new to fitness a better concept of what they can do to be more active every day, Fortin said.

"If you think about someone that's coming from a sedentary lifestyle, [a 10,000-step goal] is an easy way to introduce some kind of fitness into their life," Fortin said.
They're wrapped around wrists, hooked in pockets and syncing via Bluetooth constantly: 19 million activity-tracking devices by brands such as FitBit, Garmin, Nike and Jawbone were in use last year, according to a Venture-Beat article, and this number is expected to rise.
Despite their popularity, the information these devices gather means little if users don't know how to apply it to their personal fitness goals.
Kelsey Fortin, a health educator at the Health Education Resource Office in the Watkins Memorial Health Center, said these devices and the data they collect can be more or less beneficial depending on the user's goals and background.
Many of these apps and wearable devices suggest a goal of 10,000 steps per day.
sleep impact your fitness, fitness impacts your sleep, too! Fortin said.
Zachary Wiebe, personal training program manager at the Ambler Student Recreation Center and a senior from Wichita, said he wouldn't want people to rely too much on the step count data the devices track.
Although Wiebe himself does not use any of these devices, he said combining the data from them with logging what you eat on a smartphone app such as MyFitnessPal is "a really big help" to losing weight and achieving fitness goals.
Once a device picks up activity or a user adds exercise data, the apps show a greater caloric allowance for the rest of the day. Fortin said users can eat those extra calories

"There are a lot of studies out there that say adding strength training in with your cardio actually helps you burn more calories, burn more fat," he said.
Fortin said those numbers — like the numbers gathered from fitness trackers — can be encouraging if they move in the right direction. If not, they can serve as a "kick in the pants" to work harder to achieve goals.

program's beginning, middle and end.
Another reason Wiebe said users should not rely too heavily on the step count alone is the tendency to neglect strength training.
"There are a lot of studies out there that say adding strength training in with your cardio actually helps you burn more calories, burn more fat."
Fortin said research shows strength training offers a lot of benefits in addition to increased calorie burning. For one, she said it helps increase bone mass, which is especially important for women because they have a predisposition toward osteoporosis.
In order to get the most out of a fitness tracking wearable device, Fortin and Wiebe agree it is important to look at the big picture rather than focusing on one number each day.

Kansas governor signs nation's 1st ban on abortion procedure
JOHN HANNA Associated Press
TOPEKA — Kansas became the first state Tuesday to ban a common second-trimester abortion procedure that critics describe as dismembering a fetus.
Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, a strong abortion opponent, signed a bill imposing the ban, and the new law takes effect July 1. He and the National Right to Life Committee, which drafted the measure, said they hope Kansas' example spurs other states to enact such laws. Already, the measure also has been introduced in Missouri, Oklahoma and South Carolina.
"This law has the power to transform the landscape of abortion policy in the United States", committee president Carol Tobias said in a statement.
Two abortion rights groups that operate Kansas clinics with abortion services, Trust Women
and Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, said they're considering challenging the new law in court.
"We will become a bellwether for future introductions of this bill in the states," said Laura McQuade, president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood chapter.
Abortion rights supporters say the law, which bans the dilation and evacuation procedure and redefines it as "dismemberment;" could be vulnerable to a lawsuit because it bans some abortions before a fetus can survive outside the womb and contains no mental health exception for the mother.
A Delaware-based law professor said U.S. Supreme Court precedents over the past 15 years suggest the Kansas law wouldn't survive a challenge but added that the justices may revise past stances.
Under the law, the procedure is banned except when necessary to save a woman's life
or prevent irreversible damage to her physical health. Doctors cannot use forceps, clamps, scissors or similar instruments on a fetus to remove it from the womb in pieces.
Anti-abortion groups are confident the new law will withstand a legal challenge, based on a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2007 in which it upheld a federal ban on a late-term procedure described by abortion opponents as "partial-birth abortion."
But in that ruling, the court's 5-4 majority rejected an argument that the federal law would have banned the more common dilation and evacuation procedure described by the Kansas law, according to Widener University law professor John Culhane.
"It if it was so obvious that it wouldn't run afoul of the court, you would have seen a law like this sooner," he said.
official residence; his office said he would re-enact it at multiple public events later this month. A photo from Tuesday's ceremony tweeted by the governor's office showed Brownback flanked by anti-abortion leaders and two large photos of fetuses.
Abortion rights supporters said the procedure is often the safest for women seeking to terminate pregnancies during the second trimester. It accounted for about 9 percent of abortions last year in Kansas, where most pregnancies are terminated in the first trimester and the state already bans most abortions at or after the 22nd week.
Brownback signed the bill in a private ceremony at his
Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley called it "a horrific procedure." But Julie Burkhart, founder and CEO of Trust Women, said in a statement that the new law is "dangerous" and "dictates to qualified physicians how they can practice medicine and treat their patients."
Officer charged with murder for shooting black man
BRUCE SMITH Associated Press
CHARLESTON, S.C. A white South Carolina police officer was charged with murder Tuesday in the weekend shooting death of a black motorist after a traffic stop.
City Patrolman Michael Thomas Slager was arrested and charged after law enforcement officials saw a video of the shooting following a Saturday traffic stop, North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey told a hastily called news conference.

Authorities say the victim, 50-year-old Walter Lamer Scott of Charleston, was shot after the officer already hit him with a stun gun. A video of the shooting released to news media outlets shows the officer firing several times at the man's back while he's running away.
Slager's attorney had released a statement Monday saying the officer felt threatened and that the motorist was trying to grab the officer's stun gun. The attorney told The Post and Courier of Charleston on Tuesday that he no longer represents the officer.
Summey said at a news conference that Slager made a "bad decision."
North Charleston Police said Slager was arrested by officers of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.
"When you're wrong, you're wrong," Summey said. "When you make a bad decision, don't care if you're behind the shield or a citizen on the street, you have to live with that decision."
The shooting occurred as heightened scrutiny is being placed on police officer shootings, particularly those

In a separate case in South Carolina, a white police officer who shot a 68-year-old black man to death last year in his driveway was charged Tuesday with a felony: discharging a gun into an occupied vehicle. A prosecutor previously tried to indict North Augusta officer Justin Craven on a manslaughter charge in the February 2014 death of Ernest Satterwhite. But a grand jury instead chose misconduct in office, which is a far lesser charge.
that involve white officers and unarmed black suspects. A grand jury declined to indict Ferguson, Missouri, officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown last August, leading to nationwide protests.
Craven chased Satterwhite for 9 miles beyond city limits to the man's driveway in Edgefield County. After Satterwhite parked, the officer repeatedly fired through the driver-side door, prosecutors said. The 25-year-old officer faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of the gun charge.

EARLY BIRD VS. NIGHT OWL
PRO CON
Early risers happier healthier, according to university study
Jenny Stern
@jenlikeswhales
The early bird gets the worm... and better grades, more exercise and increased levels of happiness. There has always been a division between the so-called early bird and night owl, but recently science has been showing us that waking up with the sun may have more benefits than just getting to see a colorful sunrise
Kendry Clay's study at the University of North Texas showed that early morning risers consistently had higher GPsAs. Clay's advisor went as far to say that chronotherapy, a practice that slowly shifts sleep schedules by making small changes each day, could be beneficial to convert self-described night owls into morning people to improve academic performance.
Principal investigator Kelly Glazer Baron, Ph.D., at the Feinberg School of Medicine of Northwestern University in Chicago, found in her study that "night owls reported more sitting time and more perceived barriers to exercise, including not having enough time for exercise and being unable to stick to an exercise schedule regardless of what time they actually went to bed or woke up."
For the night owls out there, no need to fret on your natural preference. While practicing a morning-person lifestyle is relative ly rare for a young demographic, it becomes increasingly common as we get older. Frederick Brown's research outlined on LiveScience attributes the commonality of staying up late and sleeping in to hormonal changes and increased socialization.
If you're interested in rising with the sun before college ends, there are small things to do to help ease the pain of waking up early. CNN offers some tips such as coming up with meaningful goals for getting up early, visualizing the best things you'll do that day or shifting your schedule 15 minutes at a time.
My most successful exercise plan was when I committed to sleep in my running clothes and left for my run right after I woke up. Utilizing my affinity for mornings helped me stick to a schedule before I could use a long day as an excuse not to stay healthy.
A 2012 study published in the Emotion, an American Psychological Association journal, found that early risers are happier and that the effect only increases with age.
By becoming a morning person, that 8 a.m. class won't sting as bad and you'll find yourself with free time to enjoy this beautiful spring weather while the sun is shining.
Researchers suggested that our society is structured for,a schedule of a morning person. The study also found that the older the person, the more significant the difference is in happiness, so the best is yet to come.

"BY BECOMING A MORNING PERSON, THAT 8 A.M. CLASS WON'T STING AS BAD..."
Being a night owl may benefit you, lead to higher overall IQs
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritzz
There are two types of people in this world: the early birds and the night owls. Being a night owl, I have had to deal with my fair share of early risers, specifically my dad. In the morning he insisted on being overly enthusiastic and talkative, but my lips needed to touch coffee before I could speak to another human. As kids we were taught to go to bed early and get enough sleep. However, studies have shown that those who stay up later tend to do better academically.
"IF YOUR BODY AND MIND STOP WORKING AT 10 P.M., THIS COULD KEEP YOU FROM ATTENDING LATER SOCIAL FUNCTIONS, AS WELL AS MAKE TIME-CONSUMING TASKS MORE DIFFICULT TO COMPLETE."
If you are a morning person, it is safe for me to imply that you go to bed early. Think back to all the times in movies, TV shows or even your own job where people complained about their bosses making them stay late versus how many times their boss made them come in early. If you have to be in bed by a certain time in order to wake up energized, the nights that you don't may screw up your whole day. Life is unpredictable and late nights will be unavoidable. If your body and mind stop working at 10 p.m.,
tnis could keep you from attending later social functions, as well as make time-consuming tasks more difficult to complete.
As college students we are, mostly, goal-orientated. Personally, the later I stay up, the more productive I am. When I wake up the next morning, it's as if the day is wiped clean for me to accomplish what the current day has for me. However, by going to bed early and waking up early, whatever tasks I didn't complete the night before I would try to accomplish as soon as I woke up that morning. I would try to accomplish whatever tasks I didn't complete before. This drags yesterday's work on top of more work in the new day.
Staying up late has its negative effects, but what doesn't these days? Our world isn't ideal. It's demanding and will require late nights and high productivity. With a better chance of getting all the day's tasks completed in that one day instead of having to wake up early to finish them, being more flexible with sleep scheduling and higher IQs, the early bird worm now belongs to the night owls of society.
According to an article in Psychology Today, individuals who have nocturnal habits tend to have higher IQs than those who go to bed early and wake up early. Counsel & Heal also published an article stating "people who preferred to stay up late at night scored higher than morning people on inductive reasoning... a good predictor of general intelligence and academic performance.
Night owls also had a greater capacity to think conceptually and analytically. Researchers said such abilities are associated with innovative thinking, better occupations and better incomes."

Projections of population, resources and output according to the 1972 book "Limits of Growth" written by Donella H. Meadows, Dennis L. Meadows, Jørgen Randers and William W. Behrens III.
People often debate whether humanity is headed toward extinction because of its own actions, and there is a large amount of evidence backing this argument. In "Limits of Growth," a 1972 non-fiction book written by a team of scientists, researchers introduced and examined a computer simulation that mapped the limits of the earth's finite resources in relation to humanity's exponential growth. Given the increase of world population and the increase of industrialization, global warming and resource depletion, the book predicts that global collapse is likely to occur by the end of the 21st century.
The earth's population, which the United Nations projects to be 9.6 billion by 2050, is becoming unstable. The law of supply and demand dictates that as the supply of the earth's resources decreases (and the need for these resources increases due to population growth), the price of these resources will increase. The more expensive these resources become to extract, the less money is available to spend on the industrialization that produces the materials and
goods that people want and need. More money will be used to extract these precious resources, decreasing funding in other areas, such as agriculture.
The decrease in spending on agriculture will result in a decrease of food production per capita, which is problematic as the population continues to rise. Combined with a decrease in funding for health and education services, the global population will decrease by 2020, according to "Limits of Growth." To avoid losing society's current living situations, the government should put limits on industrial growth by creating laws restricting big business' industrial growth. A law restricting how many children families should also be considered.
The resulting strain on the atmosphere from extraction of resources and industrialization should also be considered. Although there are people who dispute that global warming is a reality, there is an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence that the earth is warming. According to a 2011 brief from the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, since the industrial revolution, atmospheric CO2 concentrations have increased by 40 percent. Other greenhouse gas
concentrations have also increased substantially. The brief continues, stating that an increase in greenhouse gas concentrations results in less agricultural production, more distribution of airborne disease and illness and weather extremes, all of which affect human health. If we do not find solutions to decrease our emissions, the planet will decrease the human population itself.
Limiting the growth of industry and population could solve this problem. Some optimists dispute that a global collapse is inevitable, stating that technology will provide the efficient means of sustaining an increased population. However, as an article from The Guardian shows, through a study conducted by NASA, an
increase in efficiency of consumption often results in increased consumption as well. An increase in productivity of agriculture or industry will also result in increased resource throughput, resulting in less life-sustaining resources. Scientists and private industry should concern themselves with how to efficiently produce goods and resources without increasing consumption. People should also consider the idea of not having children, as the increase in population will certainly lead to unsustainable population levels.
The NASA study cited in The Guardian article states "collapse can be avoided and population can reach equilibrium if the per capita rate of depletion of nature
is reduced to a sustainable level, and if resources are distributed in a reasonably equitable fashion." Funding reallocation for renewable energy research and agriculture, as well as restructuring society for better allocation of resources are also possible steps humanity could take to save our civilization. Better distribution of resources could be seen as an alternative to a population-control law.
Even though the predictions cannot be 100 percent certain, the entire world should be focused on this problem. If we do not address these problems now, who knows if today's civilization will exist in the near future.

A HAUNTED HOTEL
Employees discuss alleged hauntings at Eldridge Hotel

Attempting to enter Room 506 of the Eldridge Hotel, Marketing Manager Lisa Coble-Krings' key won't unlock the door. She tries multiple times, from different angles and with different strengths, and yet the door stays locked.
This photo taken in the 1970s and contributed by the Eldridge Hotel shows the ghost which appears to be seen in the elevator in the left half of the screen. This was the first time that the alleged ghost appeared in the Eldridge.
"My key does this sometimes," she said. "Or maybe it's just the ghost."
She says it with the offhand ease that many Eldridge staff members have adopted when it comes to the alleged supernatural guest of the hotel. But when a building has so many unexplained instances as the Eldridge, acceptance of the mysterious and strange is the only option.
The Eldridge, established in 1855 as the Free State Hotel, has gone through four major renovations in its history — and a new one is coming up soon. While there are no set plans regarding the timetable of the expansion, Eldridge Assistant General Manager David Longhurst said the hotel plans to add 54 rooms to the vacant lot next to the hotel.
"There have never been any bad ghost stories," he said. "Just unusual, fun kinds of things."
But with so much activity bound to occur during the expansion, what will happen to the ghosts?
Longhurst, the hotel's resident ghost expert, isn't worried. A self-confessed nonbeliever, he admits that while strange things have happened, whatever spirit haunts the Eldridge is an entirely benevolent one.
Many believe the spirit in question is Colonel Shalor Eldridge, a Free-Stater who rebuilt the hotel after it was destroyed both in 1856 and 1863, the second time by Quantrill and his group of raiders. After his second reconstruction, Eldridge gave his name to the hotel — and allegedly his spirit.
His chair remains in an alcove at the hotel to this day, and staff throughout the years have encountered supernatural goings-on surrounding it. Most noticeable? While the piles
of furniture around it show the wear of years of storage, the colonel's chair has never shown a trace of dust, Longhurst said.
"Several years ago we had a new bellman here in the hotel and he said, 'I don't believe that story,'" Longhurst said. "So he took the key and unlocked the door and started up the steps and got a chill. He got partway up [the stairs] and looked up over the edge and somebody was sitting in Colonel Eldridge's chair. It was an older gentleman and he had a pipe. He looked up and said, 'hm' The bellman screamed and came running down the steps into the hallway — never went in there again."
Room 506 is the other spot within the Eldridge known for supernatural occurrences. Guests in the room have reported doors slamming, faucets turning on and off and, Coble-Krings said, the door locking by itself — from the inside.
Longhurst remembered an instance he had personally experienced where hotel staff had to literally tear the door from its hinges to get into the room.
"We made a new master key; the door wouldn't open," he said. "We replaced the batteries; the door still wouldn't open. Finally we had
He went back down to the front desk and asked if 506 was occupied — and it wasn't. It wasn't the cleaning staff either."
to take the trim completely off from around the door and take the door off its hinges to get it. We discovered that the deadbolt was locked. The only way you can lock that deadbolt is from the inside of the room. It was locked from the inside. There's no way
Both because of and in spite of its reputation as a "haunted" room, 506 is a popular location to stay for guests.
ROOM 506
Marketing Manager Lisa Coble-Krings explained guests in the room have reported doors slamming, faucets turning on and off and the door locking by itself — from the inside.
Assistant General Manager David Longhurst remembered an instance he had personally experienced where hotel staff had to literally tear the door from its hinges to get into the room.
However, unless a guest specifically asks about the history of the room, the Eldridge does not make a point of spreading knowledge of the alleged hauntings, Longhurst said.
that could happen — but it happened."
Coble-Krings said there are several theories regarding why 506 is such a center of activity. The room contains an original cornerstone brick from when the hotel was first built as the Free State Hotel. Some people also believe the room serves as a portal to another dimension.
"We've heard rustlings [in 506]," she said. "One of our valets told us that he just walked down the hall and heard voices in [the room]."
"If guests ask us about [506's] ghost, we won't hide it from them," he said. "But if a guest doesn't know about it
Coble-Krings said certain guests request to stay in 506 because of its reputation; other guests stay in the room without knowledge of its alleged occupant.
we don't tell them unless they ask."
While the hotel has a 160-year history, supernatural happenings are remembered as beginning only in the 1970s. The earliest recorded ghost "sighting" was actually captured on camera in a promotional shoot. The photo shows two people sitting in the lobby of the Eldridge. A mysterious shadowy figure looms in the elevator, what some claim is the Eldridge ghost.
The wealth of alleged haunted occurrences also led to a feature story by A&E Biography Channel's "My Ghost Story." Longhurst served as the hotel's spokesperson for the show's episode.
the ghost stories are always an integral part of the history," Longhurst said. "This building, being part of that history and part of those ghost stories — it all ties together for me. And I think it's just so wonderful."
For him, however, the history of the hotel is much more intriguing than any supernatural incidents.

'HBO NOW' allows streaming without cable
Yesterday, HBO followed through on a promise to provide a standalone streaming service that does not require a paid cable or satellite subscription.
The service is available through iTunes on most Internet browsers, Apple TV and all Apple iOS platforms. According to its website, more providers are coming soon.
"It's HBO. All you need is the Internet," reads HBO NOW's slogan.
It's also Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and several other instant online video streaming services that provide users with the shows they want without requiring a subscription to a television provider.
As college students replace — or at least subsidize — their drinking binges with Netflix binges, this is a trend that is likely to continue. Apple is already in talks with programmers to create its own television package of about 25 channels, according
to the Wall Street Journal.
"Game of Thrones" fans, including gamers at IGN Entertainment, are rejoicing at this new HBO option. The fifth season of the show premieres Sunday, April 12.
New episodes of HBO shows such as "True Blood," "True Detective" and "Veep" will be available on the service as soon as they air. Older shows, such as "Sex in the City" and "The Sopranos" will also be included in subscriptions.
The network released HBO GO in 2010, which is a similar streaming service available on many different platforms most recently, PlayStation 4. However, that service is only available to those who have a current cable or satellite subscription to the network.
At $14.99, a monthly subscription to HBO NOW costs almost double those of Netflix or Hulu Plus, but the service offers a free 30-day trial. If you're a diehard "Game of Thrones" fan, however, it may be worth it for extra Dothraki practice.

He said he has received "hundreds and hundreds" of angry emails and phone messages, including some death threats.
Poulin, who's in his 50s, said that body of work includes creating more than 120 commissioned public sculptures installed across western New York and Pennsylvania. None of those have ever resulted in similar criticism, he said.
"It's totally insane," Poulin said. "There's a lot of nasty, nasty, nasty things being said about me as an artist and about my work."

Poulin even used the same term in a letter he released Monday evening apologizing for the statue, calling it "by far my most unsettling sculpture."
Poulin said he was on a family vacation with his wife and son last week when the controversy erupted. By the time he returned last weekend to his home in the area, his work was being vilified online as a "nightmare" resembling a drunken zombie.
ALBANY, N.Y. — A muchmaligned statue of Lucille Ball will get a face lift after it drew worldwide attention as "Scary Lucy" according to the mayor of the western New York village where the 1950s sitcom actress and comedian grew up and her life-size bronze has stood since 2009.
Schrecengost said there was displeasure with
The mayor's comments came only hours after Poulin told the AP he was willing to create a new statue for free. But after Schrecengost said he doesn't want Poulin to redo the work, even for free. Poulin said he was "fine" with that decision.
Scott Schreecengost said Tuesday that his village will be starting a fundraising campaign on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter to collect donations to rework the Lucy statue from the shoulders up. Schreecengost said he has spoken to a sculptor who agreed to fix the statue for less than the $8,000 to $10,000 quoted previously by the original sculptor, Dave Poulin.

"We'd like to have better representation of Lucille Ball in her hometown," Schreczegost told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Celoron, located 60 miles south of Buffalo, New York.
Celoron, a village of about 1,300 on the southeastern end of Chautauqua Lake, found itself drawing national and international attention when a 2012 statue replacement campaign launched on Facebook with the name "We Love Lucy! Get Rid of this Statue" garnered renewed interest in the wake of local media stories on the statue. Critics of the 400-pound statue dubbed it "Scary Lucy," saying its face bears little resemblance to the "I Love Lucy" star.

Village raises money to fix 'Scary Lucy' statue from 2009

A bronze sculpture of Lucille Ball is displayed in Lucille Ball Memorial Park in the village of Gelloron, N.Y., in her hometown in August 2012. Since the sculpture was unveiled in 2009, the statue has been blasted by critics who say it bears little or no likeness to the popular 1950s sitcom actress and comedian. Village officials say they want the sculptor to fix it for free, but the artist wants as much as $10,000 to alter the statue. The village has started a fundraising effort to pay for the sculpture's makeover.

THE MORNING BREW
Tyus Jones should strike while iron is hot
Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU
Following the conclusion of the NCAA Tournament, teams wait to see which, if any, of their players are going to declare for the NBA Draft. Typically, the biggest question surrounding the status of each potential entry is one of the more basic questions:
63 00 68 10 0 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
DAVID J. PHILLIP/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Duke's Tyus Jones cuts down the net after his team's 68-63 victory over Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament championship game Monday, April 6, in Indianapolis.
So what is the question that
"Is the player NBA ready?"
But that is simply the wrong question to ask. "NBA ready" implies there is a certain state a player can get to while in college, which makes him ready to produce at the NBA level right away. However, this ignores that players can keep developing after college.
Take Alex Len of the Phoenix Suns, for example. His per game stats in points, rebounds, assists and blocks have all more than doubled from his first year to his second year in the NBA, and his metric statistics have shown similar results. Len's true shooting percentage is up nearly 10 percent from his rookie year, while his turnover rate has dropped nearly 7 percent. Subsequently, his player efficiency rating has risen by around six points, while his field-goal, three-point and free-throw percentages have all increased.
should be asked? How about this as an alternative:
rias the player's stock peaked?"
Let's not kid ourselves. The goal of most top college prospects is to make it to the NBA. And considering that at just about any time a potential NBA draft pick can go back to college to get his degree, it would seem a mistake for him not to maximize his potential earnings, while getting a jump start on a career that becomes increasingly more difficult with age.
After all, a person at 40 can go back and get a college degree. However, that same 40-year-old likely wouldn't be able to make it in the NBA. Michael Jordan is the only player to have ever scored more than 27 points in a game at 40 years old. And, only four players, Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Robert Parish and John Stockton, have recorded more than 20 points in a game at that age, according to basketball-reference.com.
The clock is ticking, so when the opportunity presents itself, a player would be foolish to pass up the chance to play at the next level.
So how does this all relate to Tyus Jones?
may still be viewed as a late first round prospect by places such as DraftExpress and NBADraft.net, but, as one NBA scout told ESPN's Jeff Goodman in a recent article, "he'll never be hotter" as a commodity than he is right now.
could do to move up even further.

runs the risk of injury and decreased numbers due to personnel changes, among other things, all of which could drop his stock severely. However, for the scrawny-looking point guard from Duke who lacks supreme athleticism or defensive ability, there's very little he

Investigators examine the scene of the second bombing outside the Forum Restaurant on Boylston Street on April 16, 2013, near the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon, a day after two blasts killed three and injured more than 260 people. During testimony on March 11 in the federal death penalty trial of Dzhokha. Tsarnaev in Boston, an FBI agent held up pieces of the black and white backpack he said were found near the Forum restaurant, where Tsarnaev admitted to detonating one of the bombs.
BOSTON — Jurors in the trial of admitted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev deliberated for a little more than seven hours Tuesday before ending their first day of deliberations without reaching a verdict.
Judge George O'Toole Jr. dismissed the jury at about 4:40 p.m. after telling the panel of seven women and five men, "It's time to call it a day."
During both opening statements and closing arguments, Tsarnaev's lawyers admitted he participated in the bombings but said his nowdead older brother, Tamerlan, was the driving force behind the attack.
The judge said jurors sent him two notes containing questions shortly before the day's end. He did not publicly share the contents of the notes but told the jurors he would answer their questions Wednesday morning. Prosecutors and Tsarnaev's lawyers declined to reveal the contents of the notes.
"This was a cold, calculated terrorist act. This was intentional. It was bloodthirsty. It was to make a point"
Jurors are considering 30 charges against Tsarnaev stemming from the 2013 attack that killed three people and wounded more than 260. If they convict him, they will then decide during a second phase of the trial whether he should be sentenced to death or receive life in prison. Seventeen of the charges carry the possibility of the death penalty.
ALOKE CHAKRAVARTY
Assistant U.S. attorney
During closings Monday, Tsarnaev lawyers agreed with prosecutors that Tsarnaev conspired with his brother to bomb the marathon and planted one of two pressurecooker bombs that exploded near the finish line on April 15, 2013.
But the defense said it was Tamerlan Tsarnaev who was the mastermind of the attack. It was Tamerlan bought the bomb parts, built the bombs and planned the attack, defense attorney Judy Clarke said.
"If not for Tamerlan, it would
not have happened," Clarke said.
A prosecutor told the jury that Tsarnaev made a cold-blooded decision aimed at punishing America for its wars
in Muslim countries.
"This was a cold, calculated terrorist act. This was intentional. It was bloodthirsty. It was to make a point," Assistant U.S. Attorney Aloke
Chakravarty said. "It was to tell America that: We will not be terrorized by you anymore. We will terrorize you."
Deliberations were scheduled to resume Wednesday.

COMMENTARY Kansas junior college coach should be hired
Dylan Sherwood
@dmantheman2011
Knowing that a powerhouse in women's junior college basketball is in your state means a good coach is just a few hours away. The school is Hutchinson Community College.The coach is John Onties.
Last week in the Kansan, an article was published about four other possible candidates. Dr. Sheahon Zenger should have Onties as his number 1 choice.
The Kansas coaching vacancy has been voided for the past month and no list of possible candidates have been released by Kansas Athletics.
Onjies, who just finished his eight season as the Blue Dragon's coach, has lead his team to the NJCAA National Tournament every year since 2012. Onjies has an impressive overall record of 257-26 and has only lost five games in the last four years. Four of those losses came in the National Tournament, the other on Feb. 6, 2013 in Garden City in overtime. The Blue Dragons have been ranked No. 1 several times during the past three years.
The Blue Dragons have finished second in the national tournament three times in the last four years with a thirdplace finish in 2013.
Onjies has been named the Jayhawk West Division Coach of the Year from 2011-13.
With this impressive of a resume, there's no doubt that Ontjes is a solid candidate. During his eight years at Hutchinson, he has a home record similar to Bill Self's in Allen Fieldhouse. In 147 games in the Hutchinson Sports Arena, Ontjes has only lost three games. Self has nine losses total in Allen Fieldhouse, meaning he has two more conference titles than lost home games.
Ontjes can recruit as well. His program at Hutchinson consists of both in-state and international players. On his team this past year, he had players from Cameroon and New Zealand. Kailani Purcell, a player from New Zealand, was named an NJCAA All-American and committed to BYU.
Ontjes is also familiar with Allen Fieldhouse, as he played for the Oklahoma Sooners from 1993-96.
With the way Ontjes has been coaching the Blue Dragons, he is bound to make the transition to Division I. He can recruit out-of-state and Kansas players well, and with only one Kansan on last year's Jayhawk roster in senior guard Natalie Knight, some home-state players will be welcome.
If Ontjes takes this Kansas job, it'll be a hard move for him leaving his hometown for the job in the Big 12 Conference. Expect big changes out of the Kansas program and the change that will put Kansas Women's Basketball on the map, just like Kansas men's basketball.

Jayhawks rally in eighth, defeat Lobos
I WESLEY DOTSON
@WesleyDee23
After a late-inning outburst, the Kansas Jayhawks defeated the New Mexico Lobos 10-9 on Tuesday night. The offensive explosion saw Kansas erupt for 14 hits, including home runs from both Connor McKay and Dakota Smith. Both teams had plenty of production at the plate, with New Mexico tallying 15 hits as well.
The starting pitchers failed to find any type of rhythm Tuesday night. In his first career start, Kansas pitcher Brandon Johnson struggled mightily, lasting only two innings. He allowed five hits, walked one and gave up three earned runs in a forgettable starting pitching debut. New Mexico starter Carson Schneider wasn't much better though, allowing nine hits and six earned runs.
After the Lobos jumped out to a 4-0 lead, Kansas reliever Colin Toalson limited the damage of their offense. He
KANSAS
ended up pitching a careerhigh four and one-third innings, allowing only five hits while striking out two batters.
Kansas tied the game in the bottom of the second inning. Dakota Smith jump-started the offense with a home run to right, cutting the lead in half, 4-2. The game would then become tied after a single by Joe Moroney and a double by Connor McKay.
Freshman pitcher Brandon Johnson was the starting pitcher in the close game against New Mexico on Tuesday.
The Jayhawks took the lead in the third inning on a Dakota Smith single up the middle. Smith was a key factor Tuesday for the offense, going 3-of-4 with a homerun and three RBIs. The Jayhawks led at this point 5-4.
New Mexico regained the lead in the fourth, as right fielder Luis Gonzalez tied the game with a single, and Danny Collier grounded out to the right side to put the Lobos on top, 6-5.
But in the bottom of the fourth, Connor McKay tied the game once again on his solo homer to right field, his third of the season.
All that action led up to the eighth inning, where the game was decided. Kansas closer Stephen Villines was called on after Sam Gilbert allowed three batters to reach base to begin the inning. Gilbert allowed the potential go-ahead run to score before being pulled, as the Lobos took a 9-6 lead.
However, the Jayhawks
rallied in the bottom of the eighth, and kept the lead for good. Big 12 Newcomer of the Week Matt McLaughlin singled through the right side to score Owen Taylor and tie the game. The four-run eighth inning was capped off by a Michael Tinsley single to right field that scored Colby Wright and turned out to be the game-winning run.
Reliever Stephen Villines stayed in the game and sealed the victory for the Jayhawks in the ninth. Villines ended up pitching one and two-thirds innings, while striking out two batters.
The Jayhawks (12-20) look to sweep the Lobos Wednesday afternoon. First pitch is at 3 p.m.

Wiggins excelled as an elite defender and used his dynamic athleticism (44" vertical leap) to score easy buckets in transition. Wiggins was also a better shooter than many critics expected, as he recorded a true shooting percentage of 56 percent and knocked down 43 three-pointers in his freshman season. Wiggins earned Big 12 Freshman of the Year honors in 2014 and earned second-team Consensus All-American honors in 2014.

Sporting Kansas City's dramatic 3-2 comeback victory in the final minutes against the Philadelphia Union was one of the most exciting games ever played at Sporting Park. Captain and center back Matt Besler even said it himself.
Sporting KC's Krisztian Nemeth hits a clean header in the first half of the game on March 28
But the result, along with the two goals in stoppage time, doesn't mean Sporting Kansas City is where they need to be five weeks into the season.
"The result was great," Besler said. "But I think we have to be realistic and look at the game as a whole, and we didn't play as well as we would have liked."
BEN BRODSKY/KANSAN
With new players still getting a feel for manager Peter Vermes' system, it's coming along, but there's still room to improve.
Even after a three-goal evening on Sunday, Sporting Kansas City is still struggling to get great chances in the run of play. Five of the team's goals have come either on a set piece or off of a rebound of a set piece. Only Roger Espinoza's goal from long range against FC Dallas has been scored in the run of play.
Though the shots in the run of play aren't getting into the back of the net, Vermes isn't concerned.
Sporting KC still struggling in the run of play
"I don't think it's concerning. What it is, is it's frustrating." Vermes said. "It's easily solvable . We're not giving up goals in the run of play, so a lot of the
Part of that is not getting service to Dom Dwyer on his runs into the box, as a lot of his chances are coming from distance at this point in the season. He has had only four shots inside the box in the run of play over the last three weeks. Vermes sees Krisztián Németh, who opened his account against Philadelphia, as a solution in the front.
things we're causing are on ourselves: giving up free kicks in the areas of the field that we shouldn't, loss of possession in a very dangerous area, or because of a stupid foul that we create."
"Let's be honest, we weren't good last week in regards to certain aspects of our game," Vermes said. "(Nemeth) was very good when he came on, we was very dangerous, he was good with the ball ... There's no doubt he brought on another quality to the game."
Most importantly, though. Sporting Kansas City found a way to win on Sunday, as cliché as that sounds. Even when the squad wasn't playing its best, it pulled through in the final minutes for its second-straight win.
"It was big for us, just the way that we won, the buzz in the stadium was unbelievable," Besler said. "For the rest of the year, we're going to have the attitude and the believe that no matter what the score is, no matter what the time is, we have a chance at winning. We just proved it."
Marin has to be better
just five games into the season, it's quite clear Chilean goalkeeper Luis Marin hasn't
"He struggled in all of his distribution, to be honest with you," Vermes said. "It caused us some headaches in that, we gave away the ball in some really silly situation when we didn't have to. It wasn't the level of play that he can play at, and that we expect."
quite settled into his role with the squad. Although he had notched two back-to-back clean sheets before Sunday's two-goal effort, he hasn't distributed the ball well in the Vermes' system.
However, the distribution should come along in due time. Vermes scouted and brought in Marin based on specific qualities, now it's implementing those qualities in the system Vermes wants to run. That starts with familiarizing himself with the league, and, only five weeks in
"It's going to be a progression," Vermes said before the Philadelphia game. "If they're foreigners, they have to still get used to the league, and that means all the things that go with it ... on the other side of it as well, they're still getting familiar with the way we want to play, and what's the role and individual responsibility for every player."
Zusi not likely for Saturday Benny Feilhaber — who notched two assists on corner kicks on Saturday — will likely continue taking the set pieces for Sporting Kansas City for at least one more week. Vermes said winger Graham Zusi has a "99 percent" chance of being sidelined for the second

week in a row against Real Salt Lake on Saturday.
"It's kind of week-to-week," Vermes said. "He's better, and today and tomorrow he's going at it a little harder, and they're going to see what his reaction is from there."
He likely won't get on the training field this week, as the squad tries to get him fully healthy before he returns.
Defender Seth Sinovic finished Sunday's game a bit banged up, but Vermes acted as if it's nothing to be worried about. The left-back did work inside on Tuesday, but I'd expect him to get on the pitch before the end of the week.
"He just had a little bit of an impingement." Vermes said. "He was just sore after one of the plays that happened in the game."

Reflection on old KU
By Judith Frost
Beneath the bright and dignified facade of the University, with its majestic library and beautiful courtyard, lies a remarkable building of the imposing governmental complex in Kansas City.
The University of Kansas was founded in 1863 by Emma L. Goulden, who was one of the first students to attend college. In 1881, she married William C. McCormick, a businessman and the city's first mayor. The University continued to grow until it became the University of Kansas.
Lions of Formally granted the privilege to conduct祭奠 services at the University. Charles W. McCormick, a pioneer in the field of animal science, was the first person to win an O.W.C. award. He also served as president of the College of Agriculture.
This reflection takes us back in time to a period when the University was a center of learning and innovation. It highlights the struggles and achievements of the faculty and staff who contributed to the University's growth and success.
Plea for in Whitt
Retired U.S. governor, surrounded the second U.S. Congress since his inauguration, Governor Thomas E. McCormick plans to hold an annual celebration of his life and accomplishments.
He is looking forward to seeing his legacy in the future. His efforts will help ensure that the University remains a leader in education and research.
This reflection has been made possible through the generosity of many people. We are grateful to everyone who has supported our work.
Mr. Harris Clear, the fifth of six people born in Kansas City, will be remembered for his dedication to the University and his commitment to excellence.
We would like to thank all of you who have supported this reflection. Your presence and contributions make it possible for us to continue our work.
With thanks, we extend our best wishes to Mr. Harris Clear.

Office of Multicultural Affairs director explains resignation
Editor's note: An in-depth article on this topic will follow in the Monday, April 13 edition.
ALANA FLINN
@alana_finn
Director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, Blane Harding, who announced his resignation from the University, effective May 1, has explained the reasoning behind his decision.
Harding will take a job as director of the Student Center for Cultural Diversity at the University of Nevada, Reno, because he "does not like the direction central leadership is going [at the University]," he said.
Harding
BEST INTERNATIONAL CAMPUS
"I came to KU because I saw a perfect opportunity to serve as the director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs and there was a really nice setup in terms
of the programming." Harding said. "It's been a fantastic three years.
"I just wish that central leadership would do something concrete to support students of color. How long have we known the black six-year graduation rate is at 46 percent? Two years. And we still don't have a program in place. I've been saying we need it, the students have been saying it, the [Student] Senate has been saying it, but there's still nothing concrete in place. I can't stay around and watch that anymore."
got them involved in almost all of our programming, and I know it will continue because now they, know the faculty members they didn't know before, and that's something I'm really proud of"
Harding said he was also able to extend diversity training across campus.
In his time at the University. Harding said he is proud of the involvement OMA has had throughout campus.
"I think the faculty always wanted to be involved in this office but didn't know how to get their foot in the door," Harding said. "I think the relationships I built with faculty
"It used to be we only did training with housing," Harding said. "Now we do training with the Spencer Museum, Watson, the School of Education, the School of Journalism, with the [Office of First-Year Experience] ... so we ha... become the diversity social justice trainers for the campus, which I think should have always been happening."
Harding has recommended OMA Assistant Director Cody Charles and OMA Assistant Director Precious Porras for interim director because "we want someone steady who knows the office and the system."
There is no official date for the national search that will be launched to find Harding's replacement.

Student senators take notes during a meeting at the Union. There are two coalitions so far in this spring's elections: Advance KU and Imagine.
Advance KU, Imagine coalitions work to rebuild Senate's image on campus
JAMES HOYT
@jamesjhoyt
Although Advance KU and Imagine, the two coalitions running in this spring's Student Senate election, were formed with different goals in mind, they agree on one thing: Their representatives say the events of the last election damaged Student Senate, and that damage needs to be repaired.
"I think it [the coalition's objective] is really trying to regain the trust of students and rebuilding relationships that we've lost," Advance KU vice presidential candidate Zach George said at Advance KU's formation caucus.
"[Imagine] started with a very fundamental idea that our Senate is not functioning in the way it's supposed to — it's not inclusive, and it does not represent
Advance KU and Imagine both have stated they want to predicate their campaigns on repairing their relations with the student body.
Imagine presidential candidate Katherine Rainey expressed the same sentiment.
One of the driving forces for the coalitions' agenda is the tumultuous events of the last election cycle, including what has come to be known as "Burritogate."
Regardless of "Burritogate," the student body by and large is not aware of Student Senate's purpose or existence.
the entire student body," Rainey said at Imagine's formation.
The task of educating the student body on Student Senate will be difficult.
"Burritogate" was an Elections Commission controversy that occurred last April. The jayhawkers coalition was disqualified before election day for failing to report $300 worth of burrito purchases at Chipotle for a campaign event. However, jayhawkers remained on the April ticket. The dust-up led to
"[Imagine] started with a very fundamental idea that our Senate is not functioning in the way it's supposed to —it's not inclusive, and it does not represent the entire student body."
a re-election in September between the two remaining coalitions, Grow KU and Crimson & True.
KATHERINE RAINEY Imagine presidential candidate
For Advance KU, Imagine and any other prospective coalitions to repair their public image, they first face the task of making the student body more aware of their purpose and existence. Although last spring's presidential election broke the University's record for voter turnout, it reflected only about 18 percent of the student body, according to the Elections Commission.
Harrison Hipp; a junior from Olathe studying journalism, said he did not know who Student Body President Morgan Said or Student Body Vice President Miranda Wagner were.
"I know they're a student organization on campus that has a lot to do with approving certain funding." Hipp said. "Other

As the 2014-15 Student Senate year begins to wind down, the executive staff recounts its achievements:
FALL 2014 Chief of Staff Mitchell Cotar
"In the fall, there were a lot of punches thrown at us in a sense that we had a lot of things outside of Senate that were affecting the University. The first semester turned out to be a very reactive approach just because of the national issue of sexual assault, and we had to ensure our students were comfortable with the response from the University as a whole, and Senate had to ensure they were representing every community at KU.
"My biggest accomplishment is the establishment of a social justice minor. It's actually in the completion cycle and will for sure be available in fall 2015, and they turned
it into a graduate certificate, which is the equivalent of a minor for the graduate programs. Dean Jamie Anderson, who is moving to Trinity college as their chancellor, was happy to see this trend of the entire University caring about social justice and equity and equality, not just on campus, but in the world as a whole."
OPINION 4A
A&F 5A
Student Body Vice President Miranda Wagner:
"The first thing we did would be before we were even on campus. In the summer, HR made the announcement they were cutting all of the student hours down to 20 hours a week, and [student body president] Morgan [Said] and 1 were able to get in the meeting, and we were able to convince them to do 29 hours a week, which was a nice achievement to start the year off with.

Student athletes and leaders at the University are now among the long list of celebrities, public figures and other colleges to join the national "It's On Us" campaign to stop sexual assault on campuses. KU Athletics posted the video calling for awareness and action last Thursday.
University members join national push to end sexual assault
The "It's On Us" campaign was first launched last September when President Barack Obama announced a partnership between the NCAA and the White House. The first version of the "It's On Us" video featured Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, as well as stars like Joe Hamm, Kerry Washington, Rose Byrne and Quest-love urging viewers that "it's on us to stop sexual assault" and "to get in the way before it happens." Since September, the original video has been viewed 2.7 million times.
RILEY MORTENSEN
@RileyMortensen
The KU Athletics video mirrors the original and features Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, basketball coach Bill Self, student athletes like basketball player Wayne Selden Jr., rower Briana Pina, baseball player Stephen Villines, golfer Michelle Woods and student leaders like Student Body President Morgan Said, KU Army ROTC Cadet Garrett Farlow and Interfraternity Council President Chris Pygle.
Since the University released its version of the "It's On Us" video, it has been viewed about 1,300 times on YouTube.
Originally, Dickerson was only going to make the video an athletics campaign, but then she started to think about the premise behind the initiative, she said.

"The initiative is to change campus culture, the entire campus culture," Dickerson said. "While it's awesome to start with the athletic department and make sure we're being examples for that, I thought it was a great opportunity to reach out to the other organizations on campus and try to reach the biggest student population as possible."
"The campaign was adopted by the NCAA and the Big 12 conference," the former KU athlete and alumna said. "I wanted to jump on board as soon as possible and make sure that we were involved."

Campus buildings to get LED light bulbs
The University's Center for Sustainability, in efforts to conserve energy and costs, has begun converting all light bulbs in University buildings to more efficient options. In addition, new buildings at the University will incorporate energy-saving designs.
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolNews
George Werth, the energy program manager for Facilities Services, leads the initiative to replace old light bulbs in University buildings with Light-Emitting Diode bulbs.
Werth said LED lights are "about as efficient as you can get."
From the summer of 2013 to the summer of 2014, the University's energy cost increased 5.7 percent from $9.4 million to $9.7 million, according to Facilities Services' monthly utility reports. Although the light bulb initiative was first implemented in 2013, the numbers show the process didn't have an affect right away, as incandescent and halogen bulbs were only replaced by LEDs when they burned out.
"It's part of our office's purpose to encourage sustainability on campus and encourage organizations to use more sustainable methods," said Jeff Severin, director of the Center for Sustainability. "We encourage more conservation-minded behavior. The LED program is part of that."
Severin said the only negative of the program was that the sustainability office has not been able to fund the program without the help of a revolving loan fund.
"Right now the University is kind of strapped for cash, so the sustainability office loaned us some money," Werth said. "We can pay that
The budget for maintaining facilities is made up of tuition, money from KU Endowment and public funding, Werth said. Severin said original funding for the revolving loan came in part from Student Senate.
In addition to the light bulb initiative, Facilities Services is working toward implementing conservation-minded plans at those buildings in the construction process.
back with money that we save from this project. We saw that over a four-year period, this program would save over $400,000."
While Facilities Services maintains current buildings, it also works with Design and Construction Management to place power, natural gas and plumbing systems in new buildings.
"We've developed a fairly aggressive energy consumption policy," said Phil Ellsworth, assistant director of DCM. "[We ask] our designers to exceed [the standard energy conservation practice] by 30 percent. When new buildings come online, they should use 30 percent less than what is considered best practice."
SELEC
Werth added that the University's new buildings will be more efficient as a result of having the "latest and greatest" technologies.
One method that saves energy is the chilling of water for multiple buildings using a central plant instead of at each building individually, Ellsworth said.
["When new] construction is occurring ... you try to put in the best systems for the long haul." Werth said. "I think the University is doing a good job on both sides."

"I don't really know what Student Senate does, and I imagine most graduate students don't."
Both coalitions and the current Senate executive staff have expressed awareness of the gap between senators and the larger student body and said they are seeking to bridge it.
Jaeger was also unable to recall the names of the student body president and student body vice president.
"We are already reaching out to groups who don't traditionally get involved with Student Senate, explaining to them what it is, explaining to them how we want to improve it ... reaching out to the 75 percent of voters who aren't there." Rainey said.
Said it's difficult to get students who aren't involved in student groups to care about Senate.
signed five to '10 student groups to keep in contact with throughout the whole year," Said said. "You can't really assign senators to random students on the street."
Rainey said the answer lies in searching for overlooked constitencies.
"Our public forum was great last semester, but we shouldn't expect students to come to us; we need to go to them and hear them out and hear their ideas," George said.
Advance KU also plans to reach out to students, rather than waiting for students to reach out to Advance KU.
Not only do Advance KU and Imagine have each other to deal with, both groups face an uphill battle with public relations. For the coalitions to be able to reconnect with their constituency, it appears they will have to make the connection in the first place.
"All of our Senators are as-
"There may just be people that don't know [what Senate is]," Rainey said. "Those are the people we are going after. Even if they don't necessarily vote, they will be knowledgeable about Student Senate and what it does."

Ultimately, Dickerson said she hopes the video "gets people talking" and sets the tone for conversations about how students on campus should be conducting themselves. She also hopes more students take the pledge, she said.
Student athletes and leaders from the video will be tabling at Wescoe Hall on April 27 to encourage other students to take the pledge online at www.itsonus.org.
"Hopefully people say, 'Well, what is this "It's On Us" pledge?' go online and find out more about it," Dickerson said.
Villines, a sophomore from Lake Forest, Calif., said he joined in the making of the video after being given the opportunity by Dickerson and his coach.
"I believe in everything the video stands for," Villines said. "I always want to, any way I can, help out and give back and get my voice out there."
Villins said it's important to be aware of your surroundings and to always look out for one another. We're all part of the Jayhawk family, he said.

"It was huge to see those faces in there," Woods said. "Some you know, some you don't, but each person kind of connects with a different demographic and I think that's really important."

New Ferguson City Council members are optimistic
JHM SALTER Associated Press
FERGUSON, Mo. — A surge of voters helped alter the racial makeup of the Ferguson City Council, and observers said Wednesday the change creates a new energy in a community trying to find its way after months of turmoil following the fatal shooting of Michael Brown.
More than 29 percent of Ferguson voters — double the percentage from the April 2014 election — went to the polls Tuesday and elected three new City Council members, including two African Americans. That means half of the six-member council will now be African American. The lone black incumbent councilman was not up for reelection. The mayor is white.
The percentage of elected blacks still falls short of the St. Louis suburb's racial makeup — two-thirds of Ferguson's 21,000 residents are black. Still, to residents and observers, it's a new start.
"I think [voters] understood very clearly that the eyes of the world were watching, and the vote was really the only way to bring substantive change," said community activist John Gaskin, a member of the national NAACP Board of Directors.
It was the first municipal election in Ferguson since Brown, an unarmed, black 18-year-old, was killed by a white police officer, Darren Wilson, last August. The shooting led to sometimes violent protests and spawned a national "Black Lives Matter" movement calling for changes
in how police deal with minorities.
A St. Louis County grand jury and the U.S. Justice Department declined to prosecute Wilson, who resigned in November. But the Justice Department last month released a scathing report citing racial bias and profiling in the Ferguson Police Department and a profit-driven municipal court system that frequently targets black residents.
Several city officials resigned following the review, including the city manager, police chief and municipal judge. The municipal court clerk was fired for racist emails.
The new city council will sign off on the replacements. It will work with the Justice Department to ensure that problems are corrected.
New council members say
they're up for the task.
"Our community — we've been through a lot," said Wesley Bell, a 40-year-old black man elected in the 3rd Ward, which includes the Canfield Green apartment complex, where Brown was killed. "This community came together in record numbers to make sure our voices were heard. When you have a community engaged, the sky is the limit."
Turnout was aided by a strong push from volunteers, both local and national. Labor unions, activist groups and Working Family Party, a leading voice of the left that helped elect New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio last year, went door to door and worked phone banks urging people to vote.
"When we talked to voters
about the opportunity we have to end a broken and racially biased justice system, people felt like there was really something worth going out to vote for," activist Reginald Rounds said.
Saint Louis University political science professor Ken Warren said the turnout was particularly impressive because he had previously sensed a defeatist attitude among many black residents in Ferguson.
"They thought, 'We can't win. It's a good old boy system,' Warren said. "Now, they have organized with the help of outsiders, and they ended up electing two blacks to the City Council."
Warren believes the change could fuel renewed political activism among blacks who live in Ferguson.
"I think it bodes well for the
future," he said.
Newly elected .2nd Ward Councilman Brian Fletcher, 55, who is white, agreed.
"The fact that we have a council that has three African-Americans - it's just wonderful, a new beginning for the city," said Fletcher, a former two-term mayor in Ferguson.
Ella Jones, a 60-year-old black woman, defeated three other candidates - one black and two white - in the 1st Ward.
Resident Hudson Ward encouraged the new council to seize its opportunity.
"All the protest and all the looting and everything, let that be a wake-up call." Ward said. "Change, to me, is giving our kids the opportunity to grow up in a peaceful community where everyone gets along."
Oklahoma OKs ban on second-trimester abortion method
SEAN MURPHY Associated Press
Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY Oklahoma would ban a common second-trimester abortion procedure that critics describe as dismembering a fetus under a measure that lawmakers overwhelmly approved Wednesday, a day after Kansas became the first state to prohibit the same procedure.
The Senate voted 37-4 for the bill, which now goes to Republican Gov. Mary Fallin. She has not said whether she will sign it, but she has
previously signed other anti-abortion measures.
Under the bill, doctors cannot use forceps, clamps, scissors or similar instruments on a live fetus to remove it from the womb in pieces. Such instruments are used in certain dilation and evacuation procedures performed in the second trimester. Of the roughly 5,000 abortions performed in Oklahoma in 2013, about 5 percent were performed using this procedure, according to the Oklahoma State Department of Health.
“It's gruesome,” said Sen. Josh Brecheen, who carried
the bill in the Senate and graphically described the practice to his colleagues.
Critics of the bill, including Planned Parenthood, have accused its supporters of using inflammatory and non-medical terminology "to insert politics into personal medical decisions." Abortion rights supporters said the procedure is often the safest for women seeking to terminate pregnancies during the second trimester.
"While women should not have to justify their personal medical decisions, the reality is that nine in 10 abortions in the U.S. occur in the first 12
weeks of pregnancy," Angie Remington, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, said in a statement. "Abortion in the second trimester of pregnancy is less common, but in all cases, a woman and her doctor need every medical option available."
The bill would ban the procedure except when necessary to save a woman's life or prevent a serious health risk to the mother.
Kansas Republican Gov. Sam Brownback signed a similar measure into law in Kansas on Wednesday, and abortion rights groups
in that state said they are considering a lawsuit. Abortion rights supporters say the law could be vulnerable to a lawsuit because it bans some abortions before a fetus can survive outside the womb.
Missouri and South Carolina also are considering a similar measure.
Oklahoma has been sued at least six times since 2010 over various restrictions on abortion and contraception, including two lawsuits that are pending that challenge bills approved by the GOP-controlled legislature last year.
One lawsuit targets restrictions on abortion-inducing drugs, while a second challenges a requirement that abortion providers have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. Both laws have been put on hold by the state Supreme Court while the cases are being considered. Oklahoma lawmakers earlier this week passed a bill that would make it the fourth state in the country to require women to wait at least 72 hours after receiving information about abortions before the procedure can be performed.

Globalization benefits development
Jesse Burbank
@JBurbank1
We are living in truly remarkable times.Today,the spread of information, wealth and prosperity is greater than at any other time in human history. We stand ready to graduate into an entirely new world that is healthier, wealthier better connected and more developed one that was only a dream for generations past.
Inequality among nations will continue to decline, and technology will continue to progress. As the World Bank projects, global economic growth will continue to quicken as developing nations catch up to established ones. To this effect, it forecasts that annual growth in real GDP of developing nations will reach 5.4 percent, more than double that of high-income countries. For all of these things, we have globalization to thank, but that's not to say globalization is without its problems.
Economist Thomas Piketty explains in his book "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" that a globalized economy is leading to staggering levels of income and wealth inequality. This holds the potential to stratify the world into a rigid class system in which wealth stays within a select group of people, and the majority of the world cannot enjoy the products of this globalized age.
To avoid this, governments must take measures to ensure the wealth generated by globalization is accessible to a broad, open cross-section of the global population. Those willing to work hard must be given ample opportunity to succeed and those who fall behind must not be left behind by an indifferent world.
Likewise, globalization holds the potential to erode the traditions and customs of many social groups. While nations should take steps to safeguard their heritage, they must also acknowledge that culture must adapt if it is to progress.

Some assume this cultural
Indeed, the cultural experience of the average person is growing richer every day as technology and transportation allow for the rapid exchange of ideas and practices. Global culture is not eroding; it's richer than ever for the global citizen.
Another question raised by globalization's rise is its implications for the environment. While it is true that a globalized world demands more power,it is equally
"WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT A GLOBALIZED WORLD DEMANDS MORE POWER,IT IS EQUALLY TRUE THAT IT CAN PROVIDE THE MEANS FOR A RENEWABLE FUTURE."
adaptation universally favors Western influences. After all, Western cultural influences ranging from restaurants like McDonald's to music like Taylor Swift's can be found all over the world. But this is a problematic assumption. In many cases, it seems that global cultures are diffusing across national boundaries, with the United States sending and receiving cultural inputs from all over the world. Many University students recently enjoyed Holi festivals, a Hindu tradition. "Gangnam Style", a K-Pop song by South Korean musician Psy, has become the most popular YouTube video in history and
true that it can provide the means for a renewable future. As Bloomberg projects, 70 percent of all added power capacity between 2012 and 2030 will come from renewable energy.
Globalization comes with benefits and detriments. When managed wisely, however, its potential shortfalls are easily eclipsed by the new world it has to offer. It is into this new globalized world that we will graduate and build our lives. We could not have asked for a better time to be alive.

During my two years in the School of Journalism, I've learned something important: everything has a ripple.
This word cloud shows the words that most frequently appear in Rolling Stone's article about their withdraw of the controversial "A Rape on Campus" article.
whether I'm writing an article on swine flu or a column on erotic fan fiction, people are going to read my story and it will affect their lives in some way. They will go get their flu shot or start a discussion with their friends.
As a journalist, my responsibility is to understand the effect my writing may have on readers. Further, I need to make sure the information I pass on to readers is accurate and fair.

On Sunday, Rolling Stone went down in flames when it retracted Sabrina Erdely's article "A Rape on Campus: A Brutal Assault and Struggle for Justice at UVA," published in November. The story detailed the alleged rape of a University of Virginia student by a group of pledges from UVAs Phi Kappa Psi chapter.
The story immediately caused a stir, receiving almost 3 million views online, Rolling Stone reported. UVA President Teresa Sullivan suspended the fraternity along with other Greek organizations. The article added to the
The report reads like a guide for how not to do journalism. The outrageous number of unchecked facts and the magazine's unwillingness to allow Phi Kappa Psi the chance to form a thorough response are cringeworthy at best and illegal at worst. Overall, the magazine seems desperate. A desire to get in on the
Accuracy and fairness is a necessity for every journalist. It's the cornerstone of your reputation, which is a fragile thing. As far as journalists' reputations go, to quote Taylor Swift, "It's gonna be forever, or it's gonna go down in flames."
Columbia's report was released Sunday, stating Erdely and Rolling Stone were at fault and the events detailed in the story were false.
"BY SENSATIONALIZING A REPORT THE STAFF WASN'T SURE WAS FACTUAL, THEN BASICALLY BLAMING THE SOURCE FOR A LACK OF CREDIBILITY, ROLLING STONE IS ONLY PERPETUATING THIS ISSUE."
national dialogue is understandable. Erdely's story, though, wasn't even near ready to be published. It contained far too many plot holes and discrepancies to be put out in the world.
From the beginning, The Washington Post and UVAs Phi Kappa Psi chapter doubted the story's credibility. Amid the controversy, Rolling Stone passed the story over to Columbia University's School of Journalism for analysis.
already hot debate regarding sexual assault on this campus and others across the country.
Rolling Stone's decision to run the article without verifying perpetrators and giving the accused parties the right to speak caused far more damage than good and damaged the credibility of sexual assault victims who choose to come forward.
"A Rape on Campus" damaged Phi Kappa Psi's reputation and forced its members to live under "a cloud of suspicion." The fraternity reported that it experienced vandalism and, as mentioned, suspension after the article's publication. This could have been avoided if the reporter had taken the time to speak to all her sources and if the magazine's editors had done their jobs.
Additionally, Rolling Stone has made matters more difficult for sexual assault victims who attempt to report their attackers. As reported by the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, many victims of rape hesitate to come forward because they fear their report won't be taken seriously. By sensationalizing a report the staff wasn't sure was factual, then basically blaming the source for a lack of credibility, Rolling Stone is only perpetuating this issue.
In failing to see the inevitable effects of its actions and publishing a controversial story based on rickety facts, Rolling Stone is the perfect example of how important the truth is—especially in the world of journalism.

'Flora, the Red Menace' opens Friday
RYAN WRIGHT
@ryanwaynewright
Everybody seemingly knows someone who has a horror story about hardships in the search for employment fresh out of college. KU Theatre's latest production, "Flora, the Red Menace," tackles this issue among others.
"Flora, the Red Menace" tells the story of an out-of-work fashion illustrator who falls in love with a communist, who eventually convinces her to join the party. The show opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 10 at Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall, 1530 Naismith Dr.
"The play is based around the time of the Depression, in the '30s, and it talks about the struggle of the worker," Music Director Ryan McCall said. "I think there's something to be said about the struggle of looking for a job and trying to find one. I think it's something that every college kid can relate to."
"I personally resonate with the fact that Flora is trying to get a job that she loves to do," McCall said. "She refuses to have anything to stand in her way. [She] will do anything possible to pursue her career."
McCall, 36, is from Salina and does music direction for all musicals within KU Theatre.
"Flora, the Red Menace" features a strong-willed female lead who stops at nothing to land her dream job, he said.
The musical features themes of romance and how to cope with loss as well. Cale Morrow, a sophomore from Dodge City, said at its heart, "the message
of the show is about being true to yourself and learning how to navigate your way through a romantic relationship while remaining true to who you are."
Morrow said the theme of "you can't be right for someone else if you aren't right for yourself" is very prominent in this show.
I
Morrow, 20, is a theater major with a minor in creative writing. He plays the role of Harry Toukarian, Flora's love interest.
The musical can also be related to feminism, McCall said.
"[Flora] is a strong, independent young woman who is dedicated to changing the world," Morrow said. "The character of Flora is truly the center of this classical musical, and back in the early days of musical theater this was a rare occurrence."

Many plays and musicals written in the past portray women as "damsels in distress," and female roles relied on a male character for help. Morrow said. He said this show is a nice change of pace from that stereotype — the character of Flora is far from those portrayals.
[Flora] knows what she wants and she goes after it," he said. "She wants to be treated as an equal. The musical is in the '30s, looking to get a job within a big company with equal pay. Even today we fight for equal wages for women. Flora can definitely be related to the story of feminism and what it means."
Main character Flora Meszaros, played by Jaclyn Nischbach, looks over as the men complain about the lack of opportunity. The play, "Flora, the Red Menace," will be shown April 10-16 at 7:30 p.m. at the William Inge Memorial Theatre (Black Box Theatre).

Rock-A-Thon offers eclectic array of local music
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
The lawn of Pearson Scholarship Hall will be packed on Saturday with people dancing and music blaring from five local and regional bands that will "blow your mind", according to Tyler Daniels, social chair of Pearson Scholarship Hall. The hall will be hosting its 15th Annual Rock-A-Thon from 5-11 p.m. on Saturday.
"It's essentially a music festival open to anyone to come hang out and have a good time," Daniels said. "It brings a name to the scholarship halls because it's one of the only events the scholarship halls put on that's open to everyone."
The lineup will feature Shadow of Whales as the headliner, Bears and Company, Westerners, Paper Buffalo and
A Gecko Named Terrance. Shadow of Whales is currently competing in Vans Warped Tour's Battle of the Bands.
"There's something for everybody," Daniels said.
Charlie McCool, a senior from Lawrence, planned the event in 2013 before Daniels took over. He said he had never heard of Rock-A-Thon before visiting Pearson.
"My teacher in high school told me [Pearson Scholarship Hall] would be a great thing to be a part of," McCool said. "I had such a great time hanging out with the guys and everyone who came to the event, I wanted to put it on the next year."
Daniels said he was initially drawn to the University because of Rock-A-Thon. Held been deciding between two 0universities and happened to tour the scholarship halls
at Kansas the same day as the event.
"I knew that's what I wanted to do," he said. "That was the coolest thing to me. Concert promotion is something I'm looking to do in the future, so that really influenced my decision to come to KU and go to Pearson Hall."
McCool said this event shows off the individuality of the scholarship halls to the University and Lawrence as a whole. The concert taking place outside also adds a level of uniqueness to the event.
"It's an outdoor concert, which doesn't happen that often," McCool said. "It's a different experience playing outside, and the bands have a great time doing it."
Daniels is a DJ at KJHK and said that's where he found some of the bands that will play at Rock-A-Thon. The budget
for the event this year was $1,400.The stage alone cost $1,300.Pearson Scholarship Hall was able to raise nearly $1,600 in additional funds to pay for fees like travel expenses for out-of-town bands.
["The bands] are usually pretty easy to talk to," Daniels said. "You just have to convince them this is a place they want to play and that it'll benefit them. A lot of Lawrence bands are pretty into it. I email the Foo Fighters every year, and they just won't get back to me. Fingers crossed."
With roughly 230 people going, according to the Facebook page, Daniels said he has high hopes for the 15th Annual Rock-A-Thon.
"This year, with it being the 15th anniversary, I'm trying to get it as big as possible," Daniels said. "I'm trying to make it a big deal. I just want to
make this the best there's ever been. I've been doing a lot of promotion for it. We have a lot of really quality bands coming in."
Since the concert is free, Daniels said he anticipates both students and Lawrence residents to be drawn to the event.
"Lawrence loves their music. That's one of the best things about this town, especially local music," Daniels said. "It's an amazing, totally rad environment with some of the best music Lawrence, and the region, has to offer. Each band will blow your mind one after another. It's an easy place to go to find some really awesome music. Some day you can say 'I saw that band at Rock-A-Thon before they were playing at the Sprint Center.'"

Alum Lucas Parker becomes popular local musician
RYAN WRIGHT
@ryanwaynewright
Lucas Parker isn't your average University alumnus. He is an artist of many genres, including hip-hop, rock and jazz, and has been performing in Lawrence since he was young.
Parker's next show in Lawrence is with one of his bands, "Hearts of Darkness," at the Bottleneck on Friday.
While growing up in Lawrence, Parker said his family appreciated music. His parents never played an instrument, but both his brothers do. His parents had a large role in shaping his taste in music.
"The Beatles' 'Help!' movie was my 'jungle Book,' so to speak," Parker said. "I was listening to Led Zeppelin while all my friends were listening to Eminem. My dad took me to see Metallica, Rush, and my first music festival all when I was in my early teens."
Shortly after graduating in 2013, Parker began to work
Parker is currently involved with a number of music projects, including a funk band named "Mouth," a hiphop collective named "Hearts of Darkness" and "Toy Cartel," which is Parker's solo jazz/ rock project.
for several different recording studios and artists, including Tech N9ne's Strange Music Inc.
"I have been working with their producer, Seven, on a number of tracks including a few on Tech's upcoming album 'Special Effects,' Parker said. "Special Effects" currently doesn't have a release date.
Aside from working with Tech N9ne, Parker has a choice list of musical inspirations he developed as he aged and discovered other artists and bands.
"When I was 12 to 13 I loved Metallica more than any other band in the world, and that's kind of the reason I picked up the guitar," Parker said. "A couple years later I learned to appreciate the rich textures and dreamy approach of Pink Floyd. David Gilmour is an
Parker has not only been inspired by artists, but he's also been inspired by the annual Wakarusa music festival. He said he started attending the festival back when it was held in Lawrence and that he was astounded by the scene.
[Lucas has] always stood out as nothing short of exceptional..."
amazing guitar player and will always be one of my favorites."
DYLAN GUTHRIE
Pink Royal
"I was so pleased to discover that there was a market for non-mainstream genres of music, and that's when it first dawned on me that I could have a future playing the style music that I loved," Parker said.
After performing at friends' birthday parties and open jams as a child, Parker began performing weekly at the age of 17, starting at a now-closed
restaurant called "Stone Creek," which was located at 3801 W 6th St. in Lawrence. Since then he's performed at numerous venues throughout Lawrence and Kansas City, including "Five Bar and Tables," which is attached to Ingredient located at 947 Massachusetts St.
Parker's journey at Kansas began before he finished high school. As a teen, he began to attend the University's summer jazz workshops, which allowed him to approach guitar at the college level. Once Parker started attending Kansas in 2010, he began his development into becoming a professional musician.
"The demand for
"KU was integral in forming me into the player I am today," he said. He said he built many relationships and made some of his best friends in the jazz department at Kansas. Parker also said the director, Dan Gailey, has such a strong vision and doesn't settle for anything less than excellence.
preparedness and professionalism on and off the bandstand is one of the hallmarks of Gailey's program, and that pushed me to be a much better musician than I would have ever become had I not gone to KU," he said.
If Parker isn't performing, he'll probably be found at the concert of a friend or another musician. He said he often goes to see a friend's gig or another professional touring band even if he isn't necessarily a fan because he enjoys seeing how they do their job.
Dylan Guthrie of Lawrencebased band Pink Royal has fond memories with Parker.
"Lucas has always been an incredibly gifted player," Guthrie said. "From our first band together in sixth grade to jazz camp in junior high to playing in the combos at KU to joining some of the most awesome KC/Lawrence groups, he's always stood out as nothing short of exceptional."

Now, rather than having a simple "best friends" list, these emojis represent different types of relationships with the people you snap the most.
This system might be a way to make up for the original "best friend" list that ended up causing a lot of drama because it was public.
This emoji that appears next to a best friend is the smiling face with no teeth and rosy cheeks. The ultimate best friend, or your No.1 most-frequent snapper, is shown with a yellow heart.
In addition to the emojis, Snapchat added a feature that recommends people for you to snap, under "Needs love." This list is compiled of those you haven't recently snapped.
When it comes to the fire emoji, this simply means you two have been snapping back and forth consecutively within the past few days.
Aside from these two, the other emojis can be tricky. The smiling face with sunglasses appears next to someone who shares a best friend with you. If someone has a lot of best friends, they are likely going to see that emoji quite frequently.
this update has been one of many Snapchat has rolled out since its release. The app continues to evolve after already introducing self-destructing text messages and video chat.
Even more complicated to understand is the grimacing face, or the emoji with bared teeth. This one means you and that person share the same No.1 best friend. Unlike the sunglasses emoji, it's clear who you and the other person have in common.
The smirking face is one that is not shared between two people, as it has a one-sided meaning. Basically, the person with this emoji next to their name snaps you frequently, but you do not snap them a lot in return. Additionally, that person has you as a best friend when you don't have them as one.
Multiple emojis can even be attributed to a single person.

SENATE FROM PAGE 1A
"The military leave policy was passed in University Senate last fall. If a student is in something like Army Reserves and are called up for temporary duty and it conflicts with a class or test, they are protected by academic policy to make it up. It has potential to have a pretty big impact on students in the future.
"We passed a bill to make attendance a bit easier for student athletes since they have such demanding schedules. We were able to change our Senate attendance requirements for practice, events, etc., and they would count toward excused absences. This way, senators who are athletes will probably have an easier time staying in Senate instead of being removed.
"We created the CAPS Student Advisory Board, which was emotionally important, and we've met a lot this year and are working on the report, which potentially will be released next week about retention rates and mental health services. It was probably a highlight of the end of the fall semester."
Student Body President Morgan Said:
"The Ad Astra Per Astra scholarship was established, and we prioritized nontraditional students. ($2,500 dollars were awarded to two students.)
"We are working for an area for nontraditional students, and we hope we put lockers, couches and a lounge space to create a safe place for students who don't live on campus. They don't have a place like this now. Hopefully it'll be there in a couple of years.
"The new light poles and wattage increase was huge and students were appreciative of that. Students had been working with increasing lighting on campus, and many coalitions hadn't been able to sign it until this year, so we were really excited to add that and get the wattage without increasing student expenses."
REFLECTION ON THE YEAR
"People could understand how interesting of a year it was, seeing as there was a bipartisan Student Senate executive staff, and I think that was a monumental reflection on Morgan
(Said) and Miranda (Wagner) for how they care about the best interest of the Student Senate as opposed to politics. The gradual trend toward not being so self-centered of a Student Senate, but a more inclusive and thoughtful Senate. I personally am very happy to see that trend, and I hope to see next year's and the years' following to always remember that Student Senate is about the students and not about themselves, and I am optimistic and believe in people."
Wagner:
"Me personally, I have a few loose ends I'm tying up so I'm holding onto getting everything done that I can. This has been a tumultuous year in more than one way, but I think it's really been a testament of what can happen when student voices are listened to and more pulled into the process. I think we've rolled with the punches and done all we can to adapt and keep moving on. I think
Student Senate election polls open 6 a.m. on April 15 and conclude at 4 p.m. on April 16.
it's pretty clear that the events of this year have caused a call for change in attitude, and everything that has happened this year has inspired people to take up elections to shake up what Senate can be, and I'm excited to see what will come in the next year. I've learned so much about getting a thicker skin and staying focused on the goals ahead, and you can't keep everyone happy, but as long as you're being intentional about the work you're doing, that's a lot of what matters. Each road-block we've hit, we've been able to overcome. Hopefully we set the bar high for the next crew."
"I think this is a huge year for the history of us in the overall story of KU. A lot has happened and the students have advocated for their rights like never before, and that is at the forefront of the fight, and I'm really proud of what we were able to do. We rolled with the punches, and Senate has gracefully and beautifully handled everything, and I hope students get that."

Jury finds Boston Marathon bomber guilty on all 30 charges

Boston Marathon bombing survivor Karen Brassard (second from left) speaks alongside Carlos Arredondo, (left) Laurie Scher, (second from right) and Mike Ward on Wednesday outside federal court in Boston. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was convicted on all charges Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombing by a jury that will now decide whether the 21-year-old should be executed or shown mercy for what his lawyer says was a crime masterminded by his older brother.
BOSTON — Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was convicted on all charges Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombing. The jury will now decide whether the 21-year-old should be executed or shown mercy for what his lawyer says was a crime masterminded by his big brother.
The former college student stood with his hands folded, fidgeted and looked down at the defense table in federal court as he listened to the word "guilty" recited on all 30 counts against him, including conspiracy and deadly use of a weapon of mass destruction. Seventeen of those counts are punishable by death.
The verdict, reached after a day and a half of deliberations, was practically a foregone conclusion, given his lawyer's startling admission at the trial's outset that Tsarnaev carried out the terror attack with his now-dead older brother, Tamerlan.
The defense strategy is to try to save Tsarnaev's life in the upcoming penalty phase by arguing he fell under Tamerlan's evil influence.
The two shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs that exploded near the finish line on April 15, 2013, killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 people, turning the traditionally celebratory home stretch of the world-famous race into a scene of carnage and putting the city on edge for days.
"It's not a happy occasion, but it's something," said Karen Brassard, who suffered shrapnel wounds on her legs and attended the trial. "One more step behind us."
Tsarnaev was found responsible not only for those deaths but for the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer who was gunned down days later during the brothers' getaway attempt.
She said Tsarnaev appeared "arrogant" and uninterested during the trial, and she wasn't surprised when she saw no remorse on his face as the verdicts were read. She refused to say whether she believes he deserves the death penalty, but she rejected the defense argument that he was simply following his brother's lead.
happened." She repeatedly referred to Dzhokhar then 19 as a "kid" and a "teenager."
"He was in college. He was a grown man who knew what the consequences would be." Brassard said. "I believe he was 'all in' with the brother."
Tsarnaev's lawyers left the courthouse without comment.
In the penalty phase, which could begin as early as Monday, the jury will hear evidence on whether he should get the death penalty or spend the rest of his life in prison.
Defense attorney Judy Clarke argued in trial that Tsarnaev was led astray by his radicalized brother, telling the jury: "If not for Tamerlan, it would not have

he was in college. He was a grown man who knew what the consequences would be. I believe he was 'all in' with the brother."
Prosecutors, however, portrayed the brothers — ethnic Chechens who moved to the United States from Russia more than a decade ago as full partners in a brutal and coldbllooded plan to punish the U.S. for its wars in Muslim countries. Jihadist writings, lectures and videos were found on both their computers, though the defense argued that Tamerlan downloaded the material and sent it to his brother.
Tamerlan, 26, died when
the government called 92 witnesses over 15 days, painting a hellish scene of torn-off limbs, blood-spattered pavement, ghastly screams and the smell of sulfur and burned hair.
Survivors gave heartbreaking testimony about losing legs in the blasts or watching people die. The father of 8-year-old Martin Richard described making the agonizing decision to leave his mortally wounded son so he could get help for his 6-year-old daughter, whose leg had been blown off.
in the courtroom Wednesday, Denise Richard, the boy's mother, wiped tears from her face after the verdict. The boy's father, Bill Richard, embraced one of the prosecutors.
In Russia, Tsarnaev's father, Anzor Tsarnaev, told The Associated Press in recent days that he would have no comment.

Fatal police shooting video may have major impact

1946
JACKSON PARK
L. CHRIS STEWART/ASSOCIATED PRESS
In these still images taken from an April 4 video provided by attorney L. Chris Stewart, representing the family of Walter Lamer Scott, Scott appears to break away from a confrontation with city patrolman Michael Thomas Slager, right, in North Charleston, S.C. In the video, as Scott runs away, Slager pulls out his handgun and fires at Scott eight times.

The officer who fired the eight shots, Patrolman Michael Thomas Slager, has been fired and charged with killing 50-year-old Walter Lamer Scott after a routine traffic stop.
Key questions remained about the 3-minute video, taken by a person whose identity has not been made public. Yet what was depicted on the video — and subsequently viewed by untold millions worldwide — may have a profound impact.
DAVID CRARY Associated Press
"In the African-American community, we've known of episodes like this for decades, but until there's graphic video like this, our stories have not been believed," said Paul Butler, a former federal prosecutor who is now a professor of criminal law at Georgetown.
NEW YORK — Graphic videos have surfaced previously that kindled outrage over police use of force — the Rodney King beating in Los Angeles, last year's chokehold death in New York City. The new video from South Carolina is perhaps the most striking yet — its depiction of a fleeing, unarmed black man being shot in the back by a white policeman so vivid that a murder charge came swiftly.
"I have watched the video, and I was sickened by what I saw," Eddie Driggers, the North Charleston police chief, said Wednesday.
"Now people are seeing what we're talking about ... how police literally treat black people like non-human animals;" Butler said.
The video, provided to the dead man's family and lawyer by the person who shot the footage, shows Slager dropping his stun gun, pulling out his handgun and firing at Scott as he runs away. Scott
Scott's father, Walter Scott Sr., said the policeman "looked like he was trying to kill a deer running through the woods."
falls after the eighth shot, fired after a brief pause.
The family's lawyer, Chris Stewart, commended the person who shot the video.
"He came forward to the family because what he witnessed he just knew was wrong," Stewart said.
Shot over a chain link fence and through some trees, the video begins after Scott has left his car. Slager follows him, reaching at the man with an object that appears to be a Taser stun gun. As Scott pulls away, the object falls to the ground, and Slager pulls out his handgun as Scott runs away. There is no indication that Scott was ordered to halt or surrender.
The final shot sends Scott falling face-down. Slager walks toward him and orders Scott to put his hands behind his back, but the man doesn't move. Slager pulls Scott's arms back and cuffs his hands, walks back to where he fired the shots, picks up the object that fell to the ground and returns to Scott's body, dropping the object near Scott's feet as another officer enters the scene.
"Like the family attorney said, once that video came out, things moved quickly," Cannon said.
Charleston County Sheriff Al Cannon suggested that investigators would have ascertained Slager's culpability without the video, but the images made his job easier.
The swift and forceful response contrasted sharply with how events unfolded after the Rodney King beating and the chokehold death of Eric Garner in New York City last July.
King's 1991 beating by
club-wielding Los Angeles police officers was depicted in a videotape made by a man who witnessed the incident from his balcony. After four officers were acquitted in a state trial, the Justice Department filed federal civil rights charges and won convictions against two of them in 1993.
+ v
In the Garner case, a grand jury decided not to indict Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who was involved in the fatal confrontation with the 350-pound black man. A video shot by a bystander showed Pantaleo trying to arrest Garner on suspicion of selling untaxed cigarettes, then wrapping his arm around Garner's neck and — along with other officers — pulling him to the ground.
In another explosive case last year — the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a white officer in Ferguson, Mo., — there was no video of the fatal shots. As in the Garner case, a grand jury declined to indict the officer.
Garner can be heard repeatedly saying. "I can't breathe," before he goes limp. A medical examiner later ruled that a chokehold, along with Garner's poor health, resulted in his death.
State Sen. Marlon Kimpson, whose district includes North Charleston, said Wednesday he hopes the shooting helps to advance a bill he is co-sponsoring that would require all South Carolina police officers to wear body cameras.
The North Charleston case intensified the ongoing national discussion about use of body cameras by police officers.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest described the new video as "awfully hard to watch" and suggested that greater use of body cameras could help improve community/police relations.

COMMENTARY KU doesn't have press conferences for NBA, NFL draft announcements
Edited by Andrew Collins
It's definitely not answering any of their questions.
Press releases don't convey emotion, and they don't answer the tough questions. Press releases are just curated words on a page, and curated words on a page don't cut it.
Amie Just
@Amie_Just
One week, two NBA draft announcements. two press releases, no press conferences.
What does it say to the fans who spend thousands of dollars on tickets to watch them play? What about to the fans who spend entire paychecks at the KU Bookstore? What about to the kids who idolize these athletes?
Let's take a trip to Tucson, Ariz., the city where the University of Arizona is located. On the same day Alexander declared for the draft, another college basketball player was doing the same, 1,200 miles away.
When Cliff Alexander declared for the NBA draft on April 7, no such statement in regards to wanting to keep his decision private was made. On the other hand, it's obvious KU Athletics didn't want Alexander addressing the media, due to the NCAA's investigation into improper benefits.
When Kelly Oubre Jr. declared for the NBA draft on April 1, there was a just a press release. Granted, it did say, "in lieu of a press conference, Oubre chose to keep his decision between himself, his dad (Kelly Oubre, Sr.) and head coach Bill Self." Good luck dealing with the media every day for the rest of your life, Oubre. The NBA scrum is much worse and much more critical.
It's not just basketball, either. Nigel King declared for the NFL draft back in January. Was there a press conference? No. Just a 138-word press release.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, a sophomore forward, sat down in front of the media with coach Sean Miller to make his announcement.
SWEET SWEEP
McLaughlin, Jayhawks go 2-0 against Lobos in mid-week series
At Murray State, located in Murray, Ky., Cameron Payne, a sophomore guard, made his announcement the day before Alexander — in a press conference.
So why is Kansas one of the few remaining blue blood schools not scheduling press conferences? Declaring for the NBA should be an exciting time for the players, and they should want to share that excitement publicly.
MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN
How about at Nebraska? Terran Petteway, a junior forward, had his press conference scheduled for April 8, but it had to be postponed because his mother passed away the night before.
You can expect the same thing to happen at Duke.
What about at Kentucky? John Calipari said he expects five to seven of his players to declare for the NBA. And when that happens, you can bet Calipari will be right there in front of the media with his players.
Freshman first baseman Owen Taylor reaches for a ball Wednesday afternoon. The Jayhawks defeated the New Mexico Lobos 10-5 at Hoglund Ballpark. In the game the day before, Kansas won 10-9.
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
Kansas baseball sent the New Mexico Lobos home winless Wednesday after a 10-5 victory.
Wednesday's win gives the Jayhawks their first sweep of the season as they won both games in the two-game midweek series.
"When you get into midweek games, you're playing Tuesday, Wednesday and everybody in the country is showing up on the mound." coach Ritch Price said. "They set the table for us and our guys were disciplined enough to take advantage of it."
The Jayhawks took the lead early in the first two innings, getting ahead of the Lobos by five runs on only one hit. The lone hit came off freshman Matt McLaughlin's bat and extended his current
After McLaughlin's hit, the runs poured in, starting with a balk from New Mexico's Mike Gould, which brought in Steve Goldstein to give the Jayhawks a 1-0 lead. No time was wasted putting the second run on the board as sophomore Michael Tinsley hit a sacrifice fly into left field to bring McLaughlin home.
hitting streak to 10 consecutive games.
Gould walked three layhawks to load the bases before being replaced by right-hander Victor Sanchez. There was no improvement, however, as two walks and a throwing error put the layhawks up 5-0 after two innings.
The Lobos produced the only hit of the following inning. However, the second inning belonged to the Jayhawks.
The scoring settled for just
an inning until the bottom of the fourth when the Jayhawks put three more runs on the' board, except this time by means of the Jayhawks' bats. After starting the inning with two outs, the Jayhawks produced four hits in a row, including an RBI double by McLaughlin.
"Momentum is really important in baseball. Hopefully it rides the ship a little bit."
RITCH PRICE Baseball coach
New Mexico finally found home plate against Jayhawks starter Sean Rackoski in the top of the fifth after a double by Jared Holley to lead things off. Aaron Siple then followed suit with an RBI single to drive in Holley.
Kansas freshman Ryan Ralston entered the game in place of Rackoski after a three-strikeout performance through five innings while only giving up one earned run.
Both teams managed a run in the eighth inning while Moroney found home plate yet again, this time at the hands of Kansas' Joven Afenir.
The Jayhawks' Joe Moroney started the bottom of the sixth with a double to left field, which set up McLaughlin to earn his third RBI of the game and gave the Jayhawks a 9-1 lead.
Down eight runs in the top of the final inning, the Lobos fought hard to forge a comeback. Four straight hits, including two doubles, brought the Lobos within six and a sacrifice fly put one more on the board, but it wasn't enough. The Jayhawks walked away victorious.
Kansas' McLaughlin was awarded last week's Big 12 Newcomer of the Week and continued his success on the field and in the batter's box against New Mexico Wednesday with three hits and three RBIs.
"When we recruited [McLaughlin], we thought he was going to be an impact player as a freshman," Price said. "He has quality professional at-bats and a high baseball IQ."
The Jayhawks will try to carry their momentum back to conference play as they welcome Oklahoma State to Hoglund Ballpark for a weekend series.
"Momentum is really important in baseball," Price said. " Hopefully it rides the ship a little bit."

Although he wasn't the most popular player on the 2008 championship team, Jackson was pivotal to the squad's success. He led the Jayhawks in both rebounding (6.7) and shooting percentage (63 percent), often guarding the opposing team's most skilled big man as well. Jackson didn't become a starter until his senior year, but proved worthy as he averaged 11.2 PPG after only averaging 5.5 his junior year.

Markieff Morris provided a strong post presence while at Kansas from both an offensive and defensive standpoint. While he wasn't quite the same scorer that Marcus was, Markieff's shot blocking and defensive presence made him just as vital, in addition to the fact that he finished his career shooting 40.4 percent from three.

HIGH EXPECTATIONS
Track and field travels to Fayetteville, Ark., for John McDonnell Invitational

Following a strong showing in Waco, Texas, last weekend at the Baylor Invittational, Kansas track and field will journey down south for the third straight week. This time it will be to Fayetteville, Ark., where the team will compete in the John McDonnell invittional.
The meet will house some of the nations top outdoor track and field teams and will be hosted by coach Stanley Redwine's alma mater Arkansas, a top-10 team in both the men's and women's polls. The field also includes multiple elite SEC schools.
Junior Sydney Conley will be looking to add to her stellar performances at the Texas Relays and Baylor Invitational. Conley finished second in the long jump and third in the 100-meter in Waco. Redwine spoke highly of Conley's performances.
"As she continues to work on some technical things, she's
going to get better in the 100 [meter]," Redwine said. "When you're improving from week to week, that's the direction we want to go. It's my hope that we just have the whole team doing that."
Redwine said every athlete's goal is to post a personal record and compete for a qualifying spot in the NCAA meets. He said expectations are both athlete and coach driven.
"I believe athletes are their biggest critics, and they look for the

little things to perfect," Redwine said. "But the coaches also want them to get there, and so there's a partnership in what needs to happen in order to prepare them to get there."
Redwine also said senior Lindsay Vollmer is 100 percent after suffering a leg injury in the NCAA Indoor Championships. Vollmer placed in three events in Waco in her first meet back from her injury.
With the Kansas Relays on April 15-18, Redwine said the coaches instill a meet-by-meet mentality into the athletes, advising them to not look too far ahead.
"The thing that is important now is to do well at Arkansas,
then next week we'll focus for our home meet." Redwine said. "I think it's always a mistake when people jump forward and look past competition. We're competing against some of the best people in the nation and we can't look past them, and so if we do we're in trouble."
ine events will begin at 1:30 p.m. Friday at John McDonnell Field and will last through Saturday afternoon.

Police: Pacers' Copeland stabbed outside NYC club
COLLEEN LONG VERENA DOBNIK Associated Press
NEW YORK — Indiana Pacers forward Chris Copeland, his girlfriend and another woman were stabbed early Wednesday following an argument on the street near a Manhattan nightclub that also led to the arrest of two Atlanta Hawks players, authorities said.
The violence erupted just before 4 a.m. outside 10Ak Nightclub, a trendy spot where celebs like Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg mingle, police said.
The couple were arguing on the street as the attacker eavesdropped and started to interfere, according to police. The dispute escalated until the 22-year-old suspect pulled out a knife and started slashing, police said. Copeland's driver grabbed the suspect and held him until officers arrived.
The suspect, Shezoy Bleary, was in custody, authorities said. Police said charges were pending, and it wasn't clear whether Bleary had an attorney who could comment on them.
Copeland was stabbed in the left elbow and abdomen and Katrine Saltara was slashed in the arm and across the breast. The second woman, who was believed to be with the attacker, was slashed in the abdomen. The victims were hospitalized and in stable condition, police said. Police recovered a switchblade at the scene.
Pacers coach Frank Vogel said Copeland had surgery on his elbow and abdomen and would be hospitalized overnight. He added it wasn't known yet if Copeland would miss the remainder of the season.
Hawks players Pero Antic, 33, and Thabo Sefolosha, 30, who were not with Copeland but were also at the club, were arrested after police said they blocked officers from trying to start their investigation. The teammates were in town to play the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night. The team arrived late Tuesday, after defeating the Phoenix Suns in Atlanta.
Antic and Sefolosha were released without bail after a brief court appearance where they were charged with obstructing governmental authority and disorderly conduct. Their attorney, Alex Spiro, said they did not commit any crime.
The Hawks said neither Antic nor Sefolosha would play against the Nets. Sefolosha was limping during his court appearance, and Spiro said he had been injured during the arrest. Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said the reserve would have his ankle checked.
"They should not have been arrested. We fully expect the case to be dismissed," he said.
"As members of the Atlanta Hawks, we hold ourselves to a high standard and take our roles as professionals very seriously," the statement said. "We will contest these charges and look forward to communicating the facts of the situation at the appropriate time."
Budenholzer called the incident "unfortunate," but said the Hawks would support Antic and Sefolosha, who remained in New York.
The Pacers were in town to play the Knicks; Copeland played with New York during the 2012-13 season. Pacers President of Basketball Operations Larry Bird said the team was aware that Copeland had been injured.
"We're very supportive of our players, and you never want
Copeland has played infrequently, missing 21 games since Jan.31.With All-Star Paul George making his season debut Sunday, Copeland's already limited minutes were expected to get cut. Police initially said Saltara was with his wife, but Copeland's agent said the two were not married.According to Saltara's Facebook page, they have been engaged for several months.
to put yourself in a position where you can bring negativity to yourself or the organization or your teammates, but they're great guys and I think right now it's most important to support them," he said.
In a statement, the club disputed the police account. It said the altercation stemmed from a dispute at a public housing project about two blocks away from the nightspot and that Copeland's driver grabbed the suspect, who was later arrested.
"We are still gathering information and will update when we know more. Our thoughts are with Chris and those injured." Bird said.
"The incident occurred beyond the view of our security. Once alerted, the venue provided all assistance possible," the statement read.
The nightclub had been cited at least 10 times for altercations and four times for noise in 2014, according to data obtained by the New York Post from the State Liquor Authority.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Which NBA team would Cliff Alexander fit best on?
Sean Collins
@seanzie_3
OKLAHOMA CITY
The best team for Cliff Alexander would be the Oklahoma City Thunder for multiple reasons. First off, even if the Thunder are able to make the playoffs this season, they could have a draft pick in the late teens, giving them the possibility to select Alexander, who will likely go in the 15-25 range.
The biggest deal for Alexander is that although he may fall behind in the draft, he has valuable skills that can help any team right away, especially a team like the Thunder which is one move and a healthy roster away from a championship.
When the basketball world is surprised Russell Westbrook didn't get a triple-double, you know he is carrying the load for a depleted team.
Alexander would be a great fit for the Thunder with
his length, athleticism and rebounding skills. Alexander's ability to hold down the boards along with center Enes Kanter would allow them to push the ball in transition and grab second chance points more often. However, this might not be the conclusion one would draw by looking at his college stats. They don't give a completely fair judgment of Alexander's season because of playing time, but his per 40 numbers are very strong.
In the NBA, a young player like Alexander will need guidance. He's not yet ready to lead a bottom-feeding NBA team. The Thunder have a veteran locker room and two superstars in Kevin Durant and Westbrook. Guidance like this would give a player like Alexander the best chance to succeed quickly and be put into a role in which he can make an impact.
However, there are also opportunities for him to play. With recent injuries to Durant, Alexander can provide rest for the former MVP. And with his overall size, Alexander can move from small forward to power forward and either Dion Waiters or Anthony Morrow could play in a three-guard backcourt. Not
only does Alexander's ability to rebound allow the Thunder to have more fast guards on the court, he also serves
"IN THE NBA, A YOUNG PLAYER LIKE ALEXANDER WILL NEED GUIDANCE. HE'S NOT YET READY TO LEAD A BOTTOM-FEEDING NBAT TEAM."
as a strong lob option for Westbrook when in the pick and roll.
Westbrook and Alexander would make a great one-two punch with Alexander above the rim, and when Durant is fully healthy, this would be a team that would be even more of a title contender than they already are. Alexander's athleticism and strength would be a great addition to an already good team, and for that reason, the Thunder are the best fit for him.

BOSTON
While there are a few situations that could allow him to showcase his talents, for Cliff Alexander, no greater opportunity exists than in the place former Jayhawk legend Paul Pterce once called home. Boston.
Right now, the Celtics really only have one player that would sit ahead of Alexander on the depth chart in Jared Sullinger. But as Sullinger is extremely injury prone, Alexander would likely be given an opportunity to start at various points in the year. However, to start the year, Alexander would be able to come off the bench, which would allow him to develop, playing for one of the league's best coaches in Brad Stevens.
struggled at times playing for an impatient Kansas coach Bill Self, who had little tolerance for mistakes.
One major benefit should come in the changed dynamic in the coach-player relationship, as Alexander
Stevens, on the other hand, is known for his laid-back demeanor, which should allow Alexander the ability to develop without too much pressure, which was an issue back in early February.
And looking at the team, the Celtics could provide Alexander with the opportunity to play meaningful minutes on a potential playoff team without facing the scrutiny of going to OKC or Cleveland. Additionally, he could altogether avoid teams like the Thunder, who have a log jam at the four and five positions.
After all, at Oklahoma City, Alexander would have to battle for minutes with established young standouts like Serge Ibaka, Steven Adams and Enes Kanter while still having to pry minutes away from players like Nick Collison, who has been a fixture of the team for a long time. Not to mention the fact the Thunder drafted a young forward in Mitch McGary one season ago.
And while it's important for Alexander to avoid a loaded team, he also would probably prefer to stay away from a team
like the Knicks or the Nets, which are completely devoid of talent at the four position.
The Celtics are the perfect median of almost every NBA situation Alexander could find himself in, and they're a team he should really want to end up on. The opportunity to play with an up-and-coming coach and franchise while avoiding a volatile situation
"THE CELTICS ARE THE PERFECT MEDIAN OF ALMOST EVERY NBA SITUATION ALEXANDER COULD FIND HIMSELF IN."
should bode well for the former No. 3-ranked high school recruit in the nation, according to ESPN.
it's also worth noting that if the draft were to start today, the Celtics would be picking 26th, as they'd receive the Clippers pick, which is right around the spot Alexander is projected to go.

MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN
Freshman shortstop Matt McLaughlin swings through a ball while at bat Wednesday afternoon against New Mexico. The Jayhawks won 10-5 at Hoglund Ballpark. Last week, McLaughlin won Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.
Matt McLaughlin holds on to hitting streak
EVAN RIGGS
@EvanRiggs15
After snagging the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week award last week, freshman Matt McLaughlin continued his hot streak against the New Mexico Lobos (16-15). McLaughlin went 4-of-9. (.444) from the plate with four RBIs and three runs scored in the two games, despite only managing one hit in the first game.
However, McLaughlin went off in the second game, batting a scorching 3-of-4 with three RBIs.
"I felt good, I took a 1-for-5 last night but I felt like I saw the ball well," McLaughlin said. "I knew that with how well I've been seeing the ball I was going to have a good day at the plate."
Like any freshman, McLaughlin has had his share of ups and downs this season. Since conference play began, however, his play has taken
off. He's currently riding a 10-game hitting streak, the longest active streak on the team, and on the season he is hitting .330 with 17 RBIs.
However, when things weren't going as well earlier in the season, Mclaughlin said seeing his name in the lineup was a huge confidence booster.
"Luckily for me, I've had the chance to play a lot as a freshman," McLaughlin said. "You've got to pay your respects to Coach for putting me in the lineup."
The freshman from San Jose, Calif., was expected to be a heavy contributor this season, but he has exceeded the expectations of his coach in year one.
"When we recruited him, we thought he was going to be an impact player," coach Ritch Price said. "He's exceeded our expectations. He has quality, professional at-bats. He can take the ball the other way, and he's got a
really high baseball IQ. I'm really proud of him."
McLaughlin's offensive game has been spectacular as of late and his fielding has been good as well. He has a .946 fielding percentage, with just five errors on the season, and none in conference play.
"He's a quality defender," Price said. "I thought he played well at shortstop today." McLaughlin made a great diving catch to end the game Wednesday afternoon.
The Jayhawks got two much needed wins after a tough 1-5 start to conference play. To be successful going forward, they will need their freshman phenom to continue producing.
"Hopefully, the way I've been playing continues for the rest of the year," McLaughlin said. "I knew my skill set would translate over to Big 12 baseball."

After recording their first conference sweep of the season, the No. 22 Jayhawks (32-5, 3-3) look to keep rolling against the Texas Tech Red Raiders (16-23, 0-6) this weekend in Lubbock, Texas.
MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN
Senior first baseman Maddie Stein catches a ball at first base at Arrocha Field against Texas. The Jayhawks lost the first game of the series 0-6 on Friday night.
The Jayhawks are coming off a big road sweep of the Oklahoma State Cowgirls. The Jayhawks bounced back from being swept in the conference opener against the Texas Longhorns by defeating the Cowgirls by a score of 7-6 Thursday, 10-5 Saturday and 3-2 Sunday.
The star of the weekend was junior Chaley Brickey, who earned her second career Big 12 Player of the Week honor. Over the weekend, Brickey led the team with six hits, five runs scored, two doubles and two home runs against the Cowgirls. Brickey recorded a 1.273 slugging percentage and a .615 on-base percentage.

During the season, Brickey leads the Jayhawks in most statistical categories, boasting a. 412 batting average, 49 hits, 28 runs scored, 45 RBIs and 10 home runs. Daniella Chavez looks to continue an impressive freshman season, recording a .356 batting average, 37 hits, 19 runs scored, eight home runs, and she ranks second on the team with 44 RBIs.
Senior Alicia Pille leads the pitching staff with a 2.41 ERA and has struck out a
remarkable 149 batters while allowing 108 hits and 57 runs in 142 innings pitched. Freshman Bryn Houlton ranks second on the Jayhawks' pitching staff with a 3.03 ERA and has struck out 23 batters while allowing 36 hits and 20 runs.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders come into the weekend with a 16-23 overall record and have yet to record a Big 12 conference win. Texas Tech is riding an eight game losing streak, with six of those losses coming against the No. 5 Oklahoma Sooners and the No. 13 Baylor Bears.
Junior outfielder Jordan Bettiol statistically leads the Red Raiders with a .384 batting average and has recorded 48 hits, 32 runs scored and 13 RBIs this season. Sophomore Kierra Miles leads Texas Tech
Senior Cara Custer leads the Red Raiders' pitching staff with a 4.72 ERA and has struck 86 batters while allowing 172 hits and 131 runs scored in 148 innings pitched. Senior Chandler Moore ranks second on the pitching staff with a 6.40 ERA and has struck out 50 batters while allowing 80 hits and 78 runs scored.

Chicago Cubs catcher Miguel Montero (right) talks with starter Jake Arrieta during the first inning of a baseball game against the St. Louis Cardinals in Chicago on Wednesday.
Arrieta, Castro lead Cubs over Cardinals 2-0
BRIAN SANDALOW Associated Press
CHICAGO — Jake Arrieta allowed three hits over seven innings and Starlin Castro had a go-ahead RBI single in a two-run seventh inning, leading the Chicago Cubs over the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0 Wednesday for their first win this season.
Backed by just two hits from Chicago's offense, Arrieta (1-0) struck out seven and walked three. He was 10-5 with a 2.53 ERA in a breakout 2014 and improved to 3-0 with a 0.74 ERA in six career starts against St. Louis.
Phil Coke, Neil Ramirez, Pedro Strop and Hector Rondon combined for hitless relief. Rendon pitched a perfect ninth for his first save with the Cubs, who lost 3-0 to St. Louis on Sunday night's opener.
Lance Lynn (0-1) struck out nine in six-plus innings, allowing both runs — one earned — and two hits. Castro's single chased him in the seventh, and Miguel Montero hit a sacrifice fly off Kevin Siegrist.
Both teams again struggled to score at a cool and damp Wriglev Field.
Anthony Rizzo was hit by a pitch leading off the seventh and advanced when Lynn's pickoff throw was wide of Matt Adams at first for an error. Castro singled, ending the Cubs' 15-inning scoreless streak at the start of the season, and took second on the throw.
St. Louis drew two walks in the first but the inning ended when Jonny Peralta took a
Siegrist relieved, Chris Coghlan sacrificed and Montero's flyout drove in the second run.
called third strike. Adams stranded two runners when he struck out ending the third.
Lynn retired his first 10 batters before Jorge Soler tripled with one out ain the fourth and Rizzo walked. Castro struck out and Coghlan lined out to center.
Adams walked with two outs in the sixth, and Peralta doubled down the left-field line. But Jon Jay grounded the next pitch back to Arrieta.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Cardinals: Because the Cardinals did not alter their rotation order after Tuesday's rainout, RHP Michael Wacha will get one more day before his first start of 2015. Wacha, slowed by shoulder problems last year, will pitch Saturday in Cincinnati.
Cubs: The Cubs slightly changed their pitching rotation, scheduling LHP Travis Wood to pitch Friday and RHP Jason Hammel on Saturday against Colorado. Before Tuesday's rainout, Hammel was slated to pitch Wednesday and Wood was to throw Friday. Cubs manager Joe Maddon said the decision to push back Hammel was made to keep Wood on schedule. "Nobody's ill, nobody's hurt," Maddon said
UP NEXT
The Cardinals are off Thursday before traveling to face the Reds in Cincinnati. John Lackey is scheduled to face former Cardinals pitcher Jason Marquis in his Cincinnati debut. Marquis didn't pitch last season. Chicago is also off Thursday and will play the Rockies in Denver, when Travis Wood starts for Chicago.
Kansas rowing to close out regular season in New Jersey

The Kansas rowing team will compete in its last regatta before the Big 12 competition this weekend. After a win and two second place finishes in a regatta against SMU, Kansas will head to New Jersey to compete in the Knecht Cup, starting April 11.
The Knecht Cup is a prestigious regatta held in New Jersey every year. The Varsity Four boats were forced out of the water in the SMU regatta after severe weather caused the team to miss most of its morning races. This means the rowers on those boats will not have raced in competition for over two weeks when they take on the difficult field in the Knecht Cup.
As sophomore coxswain Kenzie Obrochaa said, "Rowing is big on the east coast."
Kansas will keep most of its lineup for its Varsity Eight boats it's had throughout the season. The lineup includes
seniors Julia Alvey, Brooke Thuston and Claudijah Lever and junior coxswain Mary Slattery.
Kenzie Obrochta is coxswain of the Second Varsity Eight that captured the Jayhawks' only win in the SMU regatta. She'll lead a team that
dominated competition since the beginning of March.
Kansas will need to speed up its starting 1,000 meters to compete against the top teams in the country, a problem coach Rob Catloth identified in the scrimmages against Drake at the end of
March.
After the Knecht Cup the Jayhawks will enter Big 12 competition. They'll compete at the Big 12 championships beginning May 16.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez throws during the first inning of a baseball game against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday in Detroit.
Detroit Tigers shut out Minnesota Twins again in 11-0 rout Wednesday
NOAH TRISTER
Associated Press
DETROIT — Anibal Sanchez helped Detroit blank Minnesota for the second straight game, Jose Iglesias had four hits and Alex Avila scored four runs as the Tigers routed the Twins 11-0 Wednesday.
Ian Kinsler drove in four runs for Detroit, which had beaten Minnesota 4-0 on opening day behind star left-hander David Price. Sanchez (1-0) was impressive, as well, allowing three hits and two walks in 6 2-3 innings while striking out six. It was the right-handler's first start since Aug. 8. He was limited over the last two months of last season by a pectoral issue.
Ricky Nolasco (0-1) gave up six runs and six hits in three-
plus innings, walked four and struck out two.
Avila and Iglesias, hitting eighth and ninth in the order, reached base every time they came up — Avila had three walks and a single.
Anthony Gose, making his Detroit debut after the Tigers acquired the center fielder in an offseason trade, came within a home run of the cycle.
This is easily the longest shutout streak for the Tigers to start a season since at least 1912. They opened with 12 scoreless innings in 1914, 1947 and 2004, according to STATS.
The Twins have never gone this long without scoring their first run since moving to Minnesota, although the original Washington Senators were blanked for 19 innings at the
start of 1940.
Avila drew leadoff walks in the third and fourth, and the Tigers went on to big innings both times. Kinsler opened the scoring with a two-run single in the third, and Miguel Cabrera's RBI double made it 3-0.
Gose added a two-run triple in the fourth, and Kinsler followed with an RBI single that skipped past center fielder Jordan Schafer for an error. Kinsler came home on a wild pitch for a 7-0 lead.
Even after Avila was taken out, the No. 8 spot remained productive when pinch-hitter James McCann singled in the eighth. Iglesias followed with a walk — the last two spots in the Detroit order reached base in all 10 plate appearances.
It was the first four-hit game of Iglesias' career.
Twins: Minnesota has been remarkably healthy at the start of the season, and the pitching staff shouldn't be too fatigued even after Wednesday's game. The Twins only used four relievers.
TRAINER'S ROOM
fingers: Detroit officially put RHP Justin Verlander on the 15-day DL on Wednesday, a move that had been expected for about a week. There was some thought that Verlander might be able to come back from a strained right triceps in time for Sunday's game at Cleveland, but now LHP Kyle Lobstein is slated for that start.

ETIC COM
ALL DOVER/KANSAN
No.7 senior Connor McKay hits a home run against New Mexico on Tuesday.The Jayhawks swept New Mexico this week and hope to do the same in this weekend's three-game set against Oklahoma State.
The Jayhawks completed their sweep of the Lobos on Wednesday afternoon. They won 10-5. Sophomore Sean Rackowski got his first win of the season, pitching five innings while surrendering six hits, allowing one earned run, and striking out three batters.
The Cowboys will come into Lawrence hot. They are winners of their last four, and are fresh off a 24-2 drubbing they gave to the Oklahoma Sooners on April 7.
The Jayhawks hope to continue to ride the hot bat of freshman Matt McLaughlin. McLaughlin had another strong performance Wednesday, going 3-of-4 with three RBIs. He is now on a 10-game hitting streak.
the weekend rotation for the Jayhawks in the upcoming series includes junior Ben Krauth on Friday, freshman Blake Weiman on Saturday and senior Drew Morovick on Sunday. This has been the weekend rotation during conference play so far this season, so expect these three to be the projected starters. Krauth has had the most success of the three starters this season, as he owns a 5-2 record with a 4.97 ERA, along with 42 strikeouts in 50 and two-thirds innings pitched.
"I felt good." McLaughlin said after Wednesday's win. "I got three hits and it felt good to get back on track."
Coach Ritch Price knows pitching is still an area that needs improvement. It will be crucial against the Cowboys, who as a team are hitting .286 with 59 doubles and 23 home runs.
"We're last in pitching, but I do feel like we are starting to get better starts from our guys and you know, it's week-by-week. It's not just going to happen overnight," Price said.
Oklahoma State's average is ranked second in the Big 12 to Kansas. Outfielder Connor Costello is a player to watch for Oklahoma State. He leads the team in home runs with five, as well as RBIs at 29.
Starters Weiman and Morovick will need to provide strong starts over the weekend in order to compete with a Cowboys offense that has led their team to a top-10 NCAA ranking. Morovick on the season is 2-3 with a 5.45 ERA in seven starts, and Weiman has yet to win a game in four starts. He owns an 8.39 ERA in 34 and one-third innings pitched.
The first game starts at 6 p.m. April 10 at Hoglund Ballpark and there will be day game starts at 2 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.
Game one will have a 6 p.m. start on Friday, and there will be day game starts at 2 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.

Kansas rallies, falls 5-2 to Tulsa in final home match

@iclemn9
Despite two late points, Kansas tennis lost 5-2 Wednesday after falling behind early in its final home game of the season.
Kansas was unable to gain footing early as No. 74 Tulsa took the first four points of the match, including a doubles point that saw the Hurricanes take courts one and two.
The Jayhawks' struggles continued into singles play as Tulsa dominated play early and picked up three points by winning on courts one, three and five. The 4-0 lead secured a win for the Golden Hurricanes, but Kansas battled in the final three matches.
"What I like going forward is that we didn't quit. We didn't roll over and quit," coach Todd Chapman said.
"We lost the doubles point and then lost the first six sets, and we could have easily faded away and not competed."
Freshman Lauren Pickens was unable to stay undefeated in her young career as she failed to pick up her second win in her second collegiate match with a 1-6, 6-2, 0-6 loss.
Freshman Summer Collins followed Hinton's win with a super tie-breaker victory of her own as she too had to rally from a first set loss, winning her second set 7-6 (7-5) in a back and forth affair.
Fellow freshman Smith Hinton battled back from a first set loss to win her second set 7-5 and force a super tie break, which she won 10-7. Hinton took a controlling 9-3 lead, but had to battle to secure the clinching point.
Collins and her opponent, Tulsa sophomore Yelena
Despite the loss, Chapman was optimistic for his team as it hits the road for an important slate of Big 12 matchups.
Nemchen, battled throughout the tiebreaker before Collins was able to seal the point 10-8.
"I think we're getting it a little bit. We've lost a lot of close matches," Chapman said. "The positive is ... we've been competitive in every match we've played with an extremely young lineup ... We've learned how to compete at a different level."
The Jayhawks, who dropped to 7-11 on the season will hit the road for four straight conference games before the Big 12 Championship on April 23, in Waco, Texas. They will kick off the road trip against Oklahoma State on Friday, April 10, in Stillwater.

Connecticut takes women's NCAA basketball tourney title
NS
DOUG FEINBERG Associated Press
Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma holds part of the NCAA/WBCA Coaches' Trophy after the NCAA women's Final Four tournament championship game against Notre Dame on Tuesday in Tampa, Fla. Connecticut won 63-53.
JOHN RAOX/ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — Geno Auriemma and his UConn Huskies will be the leading contenders to make another championship run next season. It would be an unprecedented 11th title that would eclipse John Wooden's UCLA Bruins and their 10 championships.
If they can pull it off, Breanna Stewart would accomplish her goal of winning four championships at UConn.
"I think it's really surreal and I haven't had a chance to even think about that," Stewart said after the Huskies defeated Notre Dame 63-53 on Tuesday night in the title game. "I've won three national championships, but said I wanted to win four, you can't win four without winning three first."
Stewart, the two-time AP Player of the Year, is one of four starters returning and they will be joined by another stellar incoming recruiting class. She earned most outstanding player of the Final Four for the third time, making her the first woman to achieve that. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the only men's player to do it when he played for the Wizard of Westwood.
"There just hasn't been a player like Stewie in the women's game in a long, long time," Auriemma said. "She might be two inches taller than Cheryl Miller and Cheryl Miller was one of best players I saw. ... Stewie's the kind of player that women's basketball probably hasn't seen."
Stewart had only eight
points in Tuesday night's win, but she got a big lift from her teammates. Moriah Jefferson scored 15 points and played stellar defense on Notre Dame's Jewell Lovd.
"She should have been the M.O.P.," said Stewart of her classmate Jefferson.
The Huskies do lose Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Kiah Stokes to graduation. Mosqueda-Lewis also had 15 points and came up with big plays when the Huskies needed her most.
"I'm glad the two buckets that K' made down the stretch were kind of the difference in the game," Auriemma said. "That's the way
she's supposed to go out."
she's supposed to go out." Auriemma, 10-for-10 in national championship games, has won his titles over a 20-year span. Wooden won his 10 over 12 years.
"Obviously it's a very significant number because that's the number that's been out there and people want to talk about it. I'll be the first to say I don't John Wooden and I got a bunch of friends who tell you I'm right, I'm not," Auriemma said. "As I said the other day I just think what we've done here in the last 20 years is pretty remarkable in its own right."
"I'll let the people who write the history decide where I fit in."

Advance KU constituent found guilty of violation of intimidation

@alana_finn
Current non-traditional senator and Advance KU coalition member Patrick Kelly was found guilty of an egregious violation of intimidation at an Elections Commission violation hearing this afternoon. This violation disqualifies Kelly from the Student Senate election and also suspends him from Student Senate for one year.
Director of Diversity and Inclusion Jameelah Jones alleged Kelly said, "Are you here to teach us how to be more diverse?" when Jones approached Kelly while he tabled for Advance KU.
Kelly said during his testimony "he did not remember ever
Advance KU also released a statement after the hearing to clarify their position on the comments made to Jones.
"In light of recent transgressions that have stemmed from a comment made by one member of our slate," part of the statement read, "Advance KU sincerely apologizes for this incident. In order to properly adhere to our shared values of inclusion and diversity, we respect the decision of the Elections Commission and are taking the necessary steps to address the situation in full."
saying that phrase." However, Jones said she distinctly remembers the comment and she was offended because it "undermined her job."
While the Elections Commission did find Kelly guilty, they said they had a difficult time making the decision because the elections rules do not outline if intent to offend has to be clear to find someone guilty. Once the verdict was given, the Elections Commission members all agreed that while Kelly may not have intended to offend Jones, he clearly did and that was their grounds for the decision.
After the verdict, Kelly said he will "weigh his options" of appealing the verdict. Kelly has 48 hours to submit his appeal to
Two other violations were also heard at the meeting.

the Elections Commission.
The statement also said the coalition had reached out to Jones and attempted to apologize for the comments.
The elections commission also filed a violation against Advance KU, for allegedly receiving a monetary donation to build a website in support of their coalition. Testimony given during this hearing proved students volunteered to build the website, and did not receive compensation for their work.

KU Legal Services offers free tax help for students
TRAVIS DIESING
@travis_diesing
With only two days left in tax season, it's time for last-minute procrastinators to get filing or pay the price.
KU Legal Services for Students can help get everything entered correctly with free tax workshops in the basement of Budig Hall. Workshops will be offered today from 10 a.m. to noon, Tuesday from 3-5 p.m. and Wednesday from 8-10 a.m.
Jo Hardesty, director of LSS, said she thinks Tuesday, April 14, will probably be the busiest day for the workshops and advises that students with taxes left to file come to the Monday session. Hardesty said there have been days where lines were out the door.
The majority of students LSS sees during tax season are international students, who accounted for 1,016 of the nearly 1,600 people served last year. As of Thursday, April 9, only 663 international students had come in for online help, which could mean more than 300 international students still need to file.
For those who waited too long, don't panic. The IRS has a tax extension form, which allows people to file until Oct. 15 without penalty. However, if the person filing ends up owing money, the IRS will charge interest if not filed before Wednesday, Hardesty said.
Even then, you still may not be out of luck. IRS offers a three-year statute of limitations, which lets people file taxes from up
to three years prior to the April 15 deadline of that year. For those who still haven't filed their returns for 2011, which were due April 15, 2012, they surrender all claim to the money this Wednesday.
Nick Bertron, a second-year law student and intern with LSS, said he's noticed a variety of issues students run into when filing taxes.
"This is a new system for me. I've been working in Saudi Arabia for seven years. I worked in Sudan for five years, but I've never filed taxes in a similar way like this."
ELTOM HASSAN Post-doctoral student from Sudan
"I think the biggest problem is people are expecting a refund and sometimes that's not always the case," he said.
This problem often arises with students who think they're employed with a W2 form when they actually have a 1099, which has higher tax rates for the signer.
"For tax purposes, it's better for the employer for you to be on a 1099 than for you to be on a W2 because they pay less in taxes, so not everybody knows that upfront sometimes," Bertron said.

Bill tightens restrictions on welfare use for Kansans
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
A bill placing tighter restrictions on welfare recipients — forbidding them from spending their aid on psychics or going to a swimming pool, among other things — was sent to Gov. Sam Brownback last week to be signed into law. He is expected to sign it when the legislature reconvenes in late April.
Sen. Michael O'Donnell (R-Wichita) carried the bill for the Public Health and Welfare Committee to the Senate floor last week and said this bill is another step in the right direction for Kansas families, solidifying in-law policies already in place from Brownback's administration.
O'Donnell said more than 6,000 individuals were able to get off Temporary Aid for Needy Families benefits and into the workforce last year. He said the legislature predicts nearly 8,000 individuals will

The bill would limit ATM withdrawals of the funds to $25 per day.
said the decision to cap Kansans' aid at 36 months is a political play because it doesn't cost Kansas more money to offer the full 60 months.

Kansas bans second-trimester abortions
In another move by the Republican-led Kansas Legislature to make abortions illegal, Gov. Sam Brownback signed a law last Tuesday making Kansas the first state to ban a common type of second-trimester abortions.
The "dismemberment" procedure is a common abortion practice in the 12th to 14th week of pregnancy. Rep. Barbara Bollier (R-Mission Hills), a former anesthesiologist, said she finds issues with lawmakers making medical decisions.
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
"I am troubled by the continuation by the legislature trying to practice medicine," she said. "I want to be very clear: No one is pro-abortion. These [second-trimester] abortions are not done by what I'd call choice. There is something gravely wrong with the pregnancy and it needs to be terminated; it's not someone saying, 'I don't want to be pregnant anymore.'"
One of the tragic circumstances Bollier mentioned is when a woman's water breaks, a rupture of the membrane, before a baby can survive outside the womb. This can result in serious infection if not treated, and she said this bill limits a practice that in some cases is a necessity.
"I got a letter from a woman who had this happen and had to have a second-trimester
abortion," Bollier said. "She said this was a horrible, terrible circumstance, but it needed to be done to protect her, her children and future children she wanted to have. Limiting a doctor's choice to do the safest thing in those circumstances makes no sense to me."
Sen. Garrett Love (R-Montezuma) is one of the senators who sponsored this bill. He said this issue tugged at his heart because it came around the same time he became a father.
"I am troubled by the continuation by the legislature trying to practice medicine. I want to be very clear: No one is pro-abortion."
REP. BARBARA BOLLIER R-Mission Hills
"My wife and I had a baby girl last November," Love said. "I remember leaving session for the first sonogram and then around 19 to 20 weeks we were able to see fingers, toes, hiccups, get her blood type and see her smile and frown. So, it was sickening that babies at this age were having their arms and legs ripped off to kill them. So we wanted to end that type of abortion in Kansas."
Under federal law, abortions are legal if they're performed before 24 weeks. Kansas' new bill bans this type of abortion
after week 12. This new bill follows another abortion bill from the Kansas Legislature that bans abortions if the fetus, as deemed by the legislature, can feel pain. Love argued that if this goes to the courts, it'll be held up, and Bollier said the bill's supporters probably saw this fight coming.
"I contend this bill will go to the court system, and this is why they didn't try to pass a fetal heartbeat bill or an all-out personhood bill, setting it up at conception, and thus, no abortions," Bollier said. "They don't want to do that because they don't have people in place on the [Kansas] Supreme Court that would rule differently. It's a political maneuver."
The bill also does not allow for these abortions in cases of rape or incest, but does allow them if it preserves the life of the pregnant woman or if the pregnancy will cause "irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman."
"We want to reduce or eliminate abortions, and I wish we could." Bollier said. "I wish there was never a woman who was raped or a baby whose membrane ruptured early. I wish that we never had horrible fetal anomalies, but they happen, and God gave us the ability to do the right thing and take care of women."
However, Sen. Molly Baumgardner (R-Louisburg),
who also supported this bill, said there are other ways to perform second trimester abortions if there are extenuating circumstances.
"There are other forms that don't use dismemberment, and at a point like this, that baby is dying from rapid blood loss and if it doesn't die from that, when the doctor crushes the skull, it will be killed," Baumgardner said.
The bill graphically describes what is commonly known as dilation and evacuation, referring to the bill as "protection from dismemberment abortion act." Bollier said the language use is a tactic by those who would like to see abortion illegal in every capacity.
"This is all about language use or abuse," Bollier said. "You can make anything sound horrific. You ought to hear a description of open heart surgery."
The description given by an abortionist during a committee hearing is something Love said stuck with him. While the description in the bill is graphic, Love said it needs to be to depict what really happens.
"It literally made me feel sick," Love said. "To describe that practice, you have to describe what you're not allowing. It's a barbarian procedure that makes you feel sick."
Currently a Johnson County Community College professor. Baumgardner used to be a high
school teacher. She said young people don't always realize the nature of the procedures being performed, which is why technical language needed to be used in this bill.
"I had students who'd had surgical procedures performed speak to me and tell me they didn't really know what was being done," Baumgardner said. "It's a surgical procedure, so the information was specific because that's what it is."
This bill also criminalizes the doctor performing the abortion. The first offense would be considered a misdemeanor, and the second would be a felony. Furthermore, the woman on whom the abortion is performed, the father of the unborn child who is married to the mother and the parents of a minor on whom the abortion was performed can seek civil action for any damages inflicted.
Bollier insisted women will still have this procedure performed, but they'd have to leave Kansas to have it done safely.
"Trying to stop this from happening makes an already difficult, tragic situation even worse," Bollier said. "Now you can't even have a safe procedure done in Kansas. Potentially, if someone ends up not getting a procedure done that they should have and they die, those are potential consequences."

is more complicated than for U.S. citizens.
"This is a new system for me," said Eltom Hassan, a post-doctoral student from Sudan. "I've been working in Saudi Arabia for seven years. I worked in Sudan for five years, but I've never filed taxes in a similar way like this."
International students have to worry about factoring in U.S. tax treaties with their respective countries. Most tax treaties will allow students to exempt a substantial portion of their income from taxes, which can be up to $10,000. However, if a student is in the U.S. for more than four years, sometimes claiming a tax treaty can mean students pay more.
While the state and federal governments encourage everyone to file by April 15, international students have until June 15 to file something, even if they didn't work.
Hardesty said this year has overall been a success for the LSS workshops, but hopes they can get laptops from the IRS to get more students help faster next year.

Thomas said "of course" the position is not enough, but "we've gone from zero to having something."
Thomas said the University is trying to strengthen affinity groups on campus, which he believes will make underrepresented populations feel they belong here. This year, he said, the administration established the Asian and Asian-American faculty and staff group, and it is also trying to strengthen the Native American, African-American and Hispanic groups.
One example, Thomas sa was the creation of two pa time positions, a Haskell community liaison and a multicultural community coordinator. He said no specific position had existed to support Native-American students.

"If we're going to be able to recruit people here, people have to know that they can connect and have a sense of belonging." Thomas said.
He said having the right people in place across
campus can help cultural competency to flourish. For example, he said directors of the Multicultural Scholars Program are working with leaders in different colleges, including the School of Business and the School of Education.

Hillary Clinton announces 2016 presidential bid
HILLARY FOR AMERICA/ASSOCIATED PRESS
In this image taken from video posted to hillaryclinton.com Sunday, Hillary Rodham Clinton announces her campaign for president. The former secretary of state, senator and first lady enters the race in a strong position to succeed her rival from the 2008 campaign, President Barack Obama.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton jumped back into presidential politics Sunday, making a muchawaited announcement that she will again seek the White House with a promise to serve as the "champion" of everyday Americans.
Clinton opened her bid for the 2016 Democratic nomination by positioning herself as the heir to the diverse coalition of voters who elected her immediate predecessor and former campaign rival, President Barack Obama, as well as an appeal to those in her party
still leery of her commitment to fighting income inequality.
And unlike eight years ago, when she ran as a candidate with a deep resumé in Washington, Clinton and her personal history weren't the focus of the first message of her campaign. In the online video that kicked off her campaign, she made no mention of her time in the Senate and four years as secretary of state, or the prospect that she could make history as the nation's first female president.
Instead, the video is a collection of voters talking about their lives, their plans and aspirations for the future. Clinton doesn't appear until the very end.
"I'm getting ready to do something, too. I'm running for president." Clinton said. "Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top.
Many had hoped Clinton would face a challenge from Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has said she will not run.
It's a message that also made an immediate play to win over the support of liberals in her party for whom economic inequality has become a defining issue. They remain skeptical of Clinton's close ties to Wall Street and the centrist economic policies of the administration of her
"Every day Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion, so you can do more than just get by. You can get ahead and stay ahead."
husband, former President Bill Clinton.
"It would do her well electorally to be firmly on the side of average working people who are working harder than ever and still not getting ahead," said economist Robert Reich, a former labor secretary during the Clinton administration.
Unlike some of the Republicans who have entered the race, Clinton was scant on policy specifics on her first day as a candidate. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, for example, kicked off his campaign with
a website and online videos that described his positions on an array of domestic and foreign policy issues.
Clinton also began her campaign for president in 2007 with a video, followed by a splashy rally in Des Moines where she said, "I'm running for president, and I'm in it to win it." This time around, Clinton will instead head this week to the first-to-vote Iowa, looking to connect with voters directly at a community college and small business roundtable in two small towns.
when families are strong, America is strong. So I'm hitting the road to earn your vote. Because it's your time. And I hope you'll join me on
this journey." she said in the video.
This voter-centric approach was picked with a purpose, her advisers said, to show that Clinton is not taking the nomination for granted. Her campaign said Sunday she would spend the next six to eight weeks in a "ramp-up" period, and she would not hold her first rally and deliver a campaign kickoff speech until May.
Clinton is the first highprofile Democrat to get into the race, and she quickly won the endorsement of several leading members of her party, including her home state governor, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine.
Engineering students prepare for regional conference

said.
For the past year, Julia Dury, a junior from Blue Springs. Mo., has been organizing the conference.
"It's kind of like planning a wedding, but less cute," Dury
Dury has been booking venues for the competitions, organizing meals and catering arrangements for the attendees, and recruiting judges from the area, all while staying in contact with the 16 participating colleges.
"All in all, it has been a lot of time, mostly spent emailing and calling people and budgeting money, but it has been very rewarding," Dury said. "I'm excited to watch everything take place."
Dury's efforts will allow
students from 16 different colleges the opportunity to participate in competitions, attend a social event, view presentations and projects, and more.
One of these competitions is concrete canoe racing.
Billy Hirchert, a senior from Washburn, N.D., is the captain of the University's concrete canoe team.
Hirchert said the team went to nationals last year and didn't perform well. They're looking to redeem themselves next week.
"Last year, our boat was short, wide and heavy — the complete wrong shape," Hirchert said. "So choosing the correct dimensions for this year's was the biggest thing."
Hirchert said the team put in more than 1,000 hours of work on this year's boat, only for it to crack.
"We have this saying, 'If something catastrophic doesn't happen on a weekly basis, it wouldn't be concrete canoe,'" Hirchert said.
He ended up contacting other teams from around the
"Everyone was super happy to help. We ended up fixing it, and now you can't even see the crack," Hirchert said. "Troubleshooting is a big skill that's gained throughout the conference."

Another of the conference's competitions is steel bridge design.

country and Canada for help.
The scoring is based on how fast teams can assemble the bridge, how much it weighs and how much it deflects under different amounts of weight.
"It's much more hands-on than what our classes go into," Cocke said. "The best part about the competition is seeing how you compare against other engineering students, and the different concepts that fit the same situation."

'Dress well, test well' holds some truth
Meg Huwe
@mphuwe

after little or no sleep.
College is full of all-nighters and late-night study sessions, so trying to look decent after a night of little sleep falls to the bottom of the priority list. I applaud those who have figured out how to look great
Dressing well offers benefits in how one perceives themselves, how others perceive you, and it could even affect how you do on a test.
Professor Adam D. Galinsky from Northwestern University led a study investigating the effects of wearing a white coat, in which students either wore a doctor's lab coat, wore a painter's coat or looked at a doctor's coat. The students then had to look at two pictures side by side and find four minor differences between the two and note the differences as quickly as possible.
coats. Individuals who wore the physician's coat and knew its symbolic meaning tended to be more careful, rigorous and "acquired heightened attention."
While the lab coats in each group were identical, the results had discrepancies. The group wearing physicians' lab coats found more differences in the pictures than those wearing painters' coats and those who just looked at the physicians'
Considering the results of his experiment, Galinsky proposed the theory that we think not only with our minds, but with our bodies as well. That includes the clothes we are wearing.
"Clothes invade the body and brain, putting the wearer into a different psychological state," Galinsky said.
This phenomenon is known as embodied cognition. Embodied cognition is a relatively new science and growing research program investigating how the environment influences the mind. While Galinsky tested students on a simple task, I can't help but wonder how
"DRESSING WELL OFFERS BENEFITS IN HOW ONE PERCEIVES THEMSELVES, HOW OTHERS PERCEIVE YOU, AND IT COULD EVEN AFFECT HOW YOU DO ON A TEST."
dressing well would affect test scores on our campus. Granted.
I don't think students running around layhawk Boulevard in lab coats during finals week is reasonable or practical.
However, "dress well, test well" is a popular saying among college students about how dressing nicely "can instill self confidence, which is necessary for test taking." College Magazine says. There have not yet been studies that prove a direct correlation to this statement.
Based on Galinsky's test and the idea of embodied cognition, it is definitely worthwhile for students to consider their dress. According to Medical Daily, dressing well can increase confidence.
It is important to feel confident before a test, even if it's just a result of rocking a button-down shirt or a new dress.

ASK KANSAN SPECIAL ANISSA
I've been talking to this girl for a while and we have extremely different political views, which creates uncomfortable tension at times. Should I let my political identity interfere with a potential relationship?
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritz
When analyzing the status of your relationship with this girl, you need to think long-term and how these opposing views could affect your relationship down the road.
Differences in opinion, political or otherwise, can be beneficial. You don't want to surround yourself with people who are just like you. This causes you to see the world through a single lens. By only associating with people similar to yourself, you may become closed-minded and find yourself getting bored. Having people agree with you is convenient, but sometimes conflict is needed to keep things interesting.
However, in regard to a romantic relationship, vastly different political views could cause too much conflict and harm the relationship. When looking for a partner, I think it's wise to make sure you and the other person have similar basic morals, values and views. Having a few differing opinions on politics is acceptable, but when they're "extremely different," it has the potential to create a lot of unnecessary conflict. I believe that certain
things we believe in, such as religion or political stance, have a large effect on who we are and who we will become. If her stance on politics is already causing awkward and uncomfortable situations, I only see it getting worse if you decide to be in a relationship. Oftentimes couples will be put in scenarios where they must make decisions based off what they believe.

Police department records need greater transparency
Despite the common "college students don't care about politics" myth, politics matter and serve as a platform to show where our individual beliefs and values lie. As wonderful as this girl may be, it's important to have some similar worldviews because these views shape who we are. I doubt you want to spend your next relationship debating politics over a candlelit dinner, or even worse, losing your own political identity and opinions just to keep from rocking the boat.

@WriterVictoriaC
Police forces and law enforcement agencies across the country have been under a great deal of scrutiny since the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. Brown's case brought the issue of race-based police brutality to the forefront. The South Carolina case of Walter Scott is now giving the movement against police brutality more momentum. Although the Department of Justice finished an investigation last month on unlawful conduct within the Ferguson Police Department, there is still a lack of transparency by law enforcement agencies when it comes to shootings and unjustifiable homicides at the
information to the Justice Department or the public about any shootings involving police officers. Not only are these reports optional, "but under the current reporting systems there is no category for episodes in which the officer's use of force was not deemed legally justified, and there is no category to report police shootings in which the officer has not killed a person," according to the New York Times. On top of that, little data is available regarding how many situations result in other uses of force, such as the use of stun guns.
Unfortunately, the lack of information that is voluntarily reported by police departments is not the only issue of transparency. An article from The Washington Post states, "the [Justice] Department stopped releasing those numbers [on justifiable homicides] after 2009, because, like the FBI data, they were widely regarded as unreliable." The numbers given to the DOJ are
"THERE IS AN ISSUE OF INJUSTICE AND RACIAL BIAS IN OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM, BUT WITHOUT EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF THIS BIAS AND POLICE BRUTALITY IN GENERAL, THE GOVERNMENT IS LESS INCLINED TO INTERVENE AND EFFECT CHANGE THROUGH STRICTER LAW ENFORCEMENT REGULATIONS."

hands of officers.
An article by the New York Times points out that it is not mandatory for police departments to release
foster the public's distrust of law enforcement. Rationally, police forces would not want to release any data that might hurt their reputation in that way.
The pattern of unarmed black men killed by officers, who later receive little to no punishment, shows that the government needs to know the numbers and demographics of these victims in order to demand change.
Congress should pass a law to require police departments to keep thorough records of all incidents involving force and report it to a government agency, such as the FBI or DOJ, according to the Washington Post.
This information would not only hold police forces accountable to the public, but it would also help legislators and other involved departments create policies that would prevent unjustified deaths of individuals like Scott.
There is an issue of injustice and racial bias in our law enforcement system, but without empirical evidence of this bias and police brutality in general, the government is less inclined to intervene and effect change through stricter law enforcement regulations. Police departments must be forced to provide accurate data on how often officers fire weapons or use force against a civilian. Congress has to take the first step by making the activities of law enforcement more transparent, so we can progress toward ending the oppressive nature of police encounters with people of color.

ISA shares cultures through World Expo
MACKENZIE CLARK
@mclark59
"It's like you're traveling around the world, but you're not taking a plane."
That's how Ayrton Yanyachi, senior from Arequipa, Peru, and president of the International Student Association, described the World Expo.
The World Expo, held from noon to 4 p.m. today in the Kansas Union Ballroom, showcases countries around the world through student representatives. Yanyachi said he believes representatives from 40 to 45 different countries and campus organizations will be in attendance.
"It's really exciting when you see that many countries in one place." Yanyachi said.
The event is part of International Awareness Week, and the International Student Association has several free events planned.
"We just want to share
culture," said Hollie Hall, a senior from London, England, and social chair of ISA. "We want [Americans] to learn from us, and we want to learn from [them]."
Alex Calderon, junior and vice president of ISA, was born in Lima, Peru, and came to the United States at age 10. He was raised in Horton, but said he associates himself more with Lawrence. He said although the international population is growing at the University, he still feels a disconnection.
World Expo can help bridge the gap.
Students representing their home countries at the World Expo may bring artifacts, music, presentations and more, and may also wear traditional dress. Calderon said having a chance to represent one's own culture, language and traditions at the
"Sometimes I feel that one of the biggest issues between different cultures is miscommunication," Calderon said, "because in one place, something might mean something else."
"If people show up, they'll be able to learn many things about people," he said, "and it will be easier for people not only to appreciate others and where they come from, but to understand them as well."
According to International Student Services, 32 countries are represented by only one student at the University.
"We have a flag that represents every country at KU." Hall said. "So even if the country isn't represented by a table, their flag is still there and they're still represented."
Hall said she is excited for Friday's talent show, the Festival of Nations, which will feature performances from around the world, including an Indonesian band, traditional Scottish folk songs, Nepali dancing and Peruvian guitar players.

"While We're Young" examines the malaise of getting older with the lure of youthful excitement, pairing a tame middle-aged couple with a vibrant young one in a highly specific and hilarious
contrast. Refreshingly, it avoids the trite kind of comedy where the older people are out of touch with modern technology and the young people show them the latest trends. It subverts that cliche with sharply witty honesty – the older generation is up-to-date and
boring, whereas the young couple exudes cool and hip from their old-school lifestyle.
Ben Stiller slides into this role with graceful awkwardness, trading out his typical big-and-goofy comedy strokes for more subtle discovery and

"The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart went on an eight-minute rant about the Kansas Legislature's passage of two new conservative laws on April 9
Jon Stewart burns Kansas for its passage of new gun, welfare laws

@lilygrant UDK
We don't usually hear much about Kansas on national television, but the state was in the spotlight for more than eight minutes on The Daily Show on Thursday night. Unfortunately, our eight minutes of fame were spent being made fun of by host Jon Stewart, thanks to some extremely conservative and questionable laws passed in the state recently.
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback recently signed a bill that allows a concealed weapon to be carried without a permit. Furthermore, the bill eliminated the previous requirement of eight hours of gun training before obtaining
a permit.
Rep. Travis Couture-Lovelady (R-Palco) said removing the law, which required eight hours of gun training, would actually somehow improve safe gun use.
"Kansas gun owners have shown they are responsible," Brownback said at a news conference.
"Well, you know what they say about guns: Better sorry than safe," Stewart said to point out the absurdity of the law.
Brownback also signed a bill passing a law that limits the items people who are receiving welfare can spend their government aid on. The list of restrictions includes movie theaters, nail salons and cruise ships — as if
"You never recovered from the national economic collapse? F*** you, no movies," Stewart said of the issue.
someone who needs welfare could afford to buy a cruise ticket anyway.
Stewart presented research that states that for every dollar Kansas contributes to the federal government, it mooches $1.29. Brownback has reduced funding for employee pension programs, Kansas schools and highway repair projects. Stewart pointed out the hypocrisy of Kansas enforcing welfare restrictions, when Kansas itself requires government aid to function.
"That's the fact, Kansas, you're on the dole. And if you need to take tax money

They have a pet chicken in their apartment, hang out at street beaches and engage in a spiritual ceremony taking the hallucinogen Ayahuasca, which is the funniest scene of the movie. "While We're Young" pointedly captures both the appeal and ridiculousness of hipster idiosyncrasies, entertaining with an incisive exactness.
Cornelia flailing around in a hip-hop dance class makes for a laugh-out-loud moment, while Josh finding out he cramped up on a bike because of arthritis in his knees is funny for its sad truth.
Writer/director Noah Baumbach teases smart humor out of discomfort and failure, always hitting acutely relatable notes and building engrossing character dynamics. As Josh's long-term documentary project runs out of fuel, Jaime's new documentary project goes extremely well. The feeling of personal decline while someone close to you rises in success comes through with a thoughtfully funny poignancy.
Stiller delivers one of his most maturely humorous performances here, but
Driver steals the show, as with most things he's in. His innate charisma, off-the-cuff comedic delivery and oddball quirks make him irresistibly interesting, especially as he slowly reveals a surprising side of his character.

Sporting KC outplays Real Salt Lake, draws 0-0
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@Hardy NFL
Sporting Kansas City striker Dom Dwyer took a feed from midfielder Benny Feilhaber and tucked it into the back of the net. It was routine: another goal from the sensational, prolific goalscorer.
ADVARE SPORTING BLUE CARD
Sporting Kansas City captain Matt Besler (left) chases down the bail during the second half of its match against Real Salt Lake. The two teams drew 0-0, and Kansas City moved to 2-1-3 on the season.
Confetti cannons went off and Sporting Park exploded as the home team had seemingly gone up 1-0 against Real Salt Lake. That feeling of a win — of a goal, even — was fleeting for Sporting KC on Saturday night.
As Dwyer peeked to the sideline, he saw the line judge with his flag up; Dwyer was offside. The game remained the same way it began: scoreless. The two sides played to a 0-0 draw in a rematch of the 2013 MLS Cup in front of more than 20,000 fans.
"I wanted three points, so that's a little frustrating," said Dwyer, who has been discounted three goals due to calls in the last two games.
AARON GROENE/KANSAN
"We just couldn't put it in the net today," Dwyer said. "Well, we could. We were just offside."
For all 90 minutes, Sporting Kansas City pressed for what would have been a game-winning goal, but — among its multitude of crosses and set pieces — the team failed to put one in the back of the net that counted. It was the team's second scoreless draw at soldout Sporting Park this season.
But there was a much different vibe after the team's third draw of the season, one that easily could have gone Sporting KC's way if not for an offside call.
"We dominated the game," manager Peter Vermes said. "We didn't give anything up to them at all ... I thought from
start to finish our guys were fantastic."
Much of the first half was the physical and defensive match that is expected out of two of the most consistent clubs in Major League Soccer. The scoreless line at half didn't mean it wasn't exciting soccer, though, at least for Sporting KC fans.
"I thought we played well on both sides of the ball," captain Matt Besler said. "The tempo was played at our pace. That's the pace we're comfortable with playing at home. We feel like we can wear teams down like that."
The team had 22 crosses in the first half, which led to six shots, but only one was on goal. The team didn't have a clearance on the defensive end in the first half, simply because they didn't deal with much pressure.
The second half was much like the first: defensive and tenacious, but there was not much to show for it other than a point in the standings. After Dwyer was called offside in the 56th minute, the rest of the half resulted in few chances for the men in blue, along with their Western Conference rivals. The teams combined for only one shot on goal through the full 90 minutes.
"We created a lot of chances around their goal," Vermes said. "The only thing is that maybe we could have been a bit better with the clear-cut finishes on goal. Sometimes it is just a couple of inches."
Those couple of inches served as the difference between three points and the single point Sporting Kansas City was awarded Saturday night; the two points that could have propelled the team to standalone second place in the
Only a week after Sporting KC had played a much uglier game against the Philadelphia Union and came away with three points, the team left with only one after controlling much of the game and playing their style of football.
Western Conference six weeks into the season.
"It's weird. A weird feeling not to get three points." Besler said. "It's a funny game sometimes. Last week, we didn't play our best and we get the three points. So, it's vice versa."
"As the season moves on, if you haven't truly developed your model of play in games when you need to and get your points, you're just on a hope and a prayer." Vermes said. "If you have a model of play, you
Despite not getting three points, Vermes sees his squad inching closer to his vision of the team he wants.
have a purpose of how you are going to do that. That's what rules the day in the long run."
Most notably in the second half, defender Ike Opara — who leads the team in goals with two — went down with a left leg injury after he jumped backwards to try to put his head on a flying corner kick. Vermes doesn't yet have an exact diagnosis, but Opara is scheduled to see a doctor Monday after he was carried off the pitch on a stretcher. Vermes told media it's not the same leg that kept him out for most of 2014 and the 2015 preseason.

With the draw, the two teams remain knotted at third place in the Western Conference with nine points. Sporting KC will be back April 18 in Los Angeles as it takes on the reigning MLS champions, the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Pitching leads to upset against Oklahoma State

Sophomore pitcher Sean Rackoski throws a pitch during the second game against New Mexico last Wednesday afternoon. The Jayhawks won 10-5 at Hoglund Ballpark. In the weekend series against Oklahoma State, Kansas won 2-1
WESLEY DOTSON
@WesleyDee23
The weekend series between the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Kansas Jayhawks was supposed to be a slugfest. Kansas is ranked second in the Big 12 with a .287 team batting average, and Oklahoma State is ranked third at .286, according to big12sports.com.
Instead, the three games featured pitching duels that saw Kansas win the series, 2-1 (2-7, 3-2, 4-2). Senior Drew Morovick and freshman Blake Weiman were two starting pitchers who were projected to struggle against the ninth-ranked Cowboys' offense.
That would not be the case. After the 2-7 loss Friday, Morovick threw seven scoreless innings Saturday leading to his third win of the season. Weiman continued the team's pitching dominance Sunday with his five and one-third innings, allowing only one earned run. His performance would earn him the first win of his career.
+
The majority of Weiman's outs came from 10 forced ground balls Sunday.
"That was my main goal going into the game ... thats been my biggest thing is keeping the ball down and staying low in the zone," Weiman said.
Junior pitcher Ben Krauth, Morovick and Weiman each turned in stellar starts over the weekend that led to the Jayhawks taking two of the three games from the Cowboys. The three starters only gave up a combined total of two earned-runs in the series.
After sophomore pitcher Sean Rackoski's strong start Wednesday, he delivered an impressive two and one-third innings in relief for Weiman on Sunday. Rackoski allowed only one earned run while striking out three batters in his work from the bullpen.
"We pitched better, and obviously they are one of the two best pitching teams in our league, so their numbers are as good as they say they are," coach Ritch Price said.
The weekend theme of pitching was a major factor in this series' outcome.
Even the bullpen played a key role for the Jayhawks.
"Sean is one of the nicest kids walking the planet, and we've been trying to get him to be tougher and be more competitive, and he took a big step forward today," Price said. After a rough couple outings last weekend, sophomore pitcher Stephen Villines was able to get back on track Saturday and Sunday, as he recorded a save in both games.
Pitching has been a glaring issue for the Jayhawks all season. Their team ERA of 6.01 ranks last in the Big 12, according to big12sports.com.
"For him to bounce back and save two games against that type of team shows his character and how tough he is," Price said.
For the team to step up this weekend and provide three solid starts — and even strong relief work — against the ninth-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys, shows it is improving in that aspect of the game.
Villines looked especially sharp Sunday, striking out two batters in his one and one-third innings of scoreless work.
"We are just trying to get better," Price said. "Our pitching has gotten better, and if you look at the pitching numbers and stats, you see that they aren't very good, and as a result of that, this was a huge step forward for our pitching this weekend."
The Jayhawks (15-21) hope to continue to build on this weekend's pitching success as the season progresses. Winning against a team with the caliber of Oklahoma State was a great sign that the numbers are starting to trend in the right direction.

FC Kansas City falls to Sky Blue FC in opener
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
In Sporting Park, it seems every Kansas City team can outplay its opponent, but can't come out with three points. On Sunday, FC Kansas City played its first match as reigning National Women's Soccer League champions against Sky Blue FC at Kansas City's crown soccer jewel.
However, the team fell 1-0 after conceding in the first half, despite outshooting its opponents 15 to five. That result wasn't the way the team expected to follow up on its championship.
"Coming together, playing with this team again, it feels so good," forward Amy Rodriguez said. "Unfortunately, we just couldn't put them away."
FCKC put consistent pressure on Sky Blue in the opening half, as Sky Blue only had one shot in the first 27 minutes. But in the next few minutes, Sky Blue made their best bit of offense in the game count.
After a run on a counter
attack, Sky Blue midfielder Katy Freels put a long-range shot on goal, but FCKC goalkeeper Nicole Barnhart bopped it over. The ensuing corner kick from defender Meg Morris ended up at the feet of forward Nadia Nadim. Nadim, who scored seven goals in six games last year, took a dribble and blasted it into the near post to put Sky Blue up 1-0.
Although Sky Blue played all 90 minutes with a five-man back line and bunkered in for most of the game, FCKC was able to poke holes in the defense. FCKC had 15 shots — six on goal — in the game, but not one found the back of the net.
"They played well defensively, they were organized," manager Vlatko Andonovski said. "But at the same time, we found a way to break them down. ... We did everything we were supposed to to win this game. We just didn't put the ball in the goal."
Much of that goes to the five saves made by Sky Blue goalkeeper Brittany Cameron, including a diving save in the
79th minute on a 30-yard shot from FCKC forward Lauren Holiday.
Sauerbrunn, along with her U.S. Women's National Team teammates on FCKC
"I think Brittany really came in and had a nice game for them in goal. She picked off a lot of balls" defender Becky Sauerbrunn said.
— Rodriguez, Holiday and midfielder Heather O'Reilly — will be in Kansas City for two more games before shipping off to camp, then to the 2015 World Cup in Canada.
But even with the World Cup on their minds, they had been looking forward to this game for a while. The members of the team collected their 2014 championship rings.
"I've been looking forward to [this day] pretty much since the championship last season," Sauerbrunn said. "Unfortunately, it's a rough start to the season, but that happened last year, and we still got a championship, so our heads aren't down right now."

The Jayhawks swept the top two spots in the women's high jump, with senior Colleen O'Brien taking first and sophomore Grace Pickell coming in second. O'Brien leaped to a height of 5-feet-10 3/4 inches, while Pickell posted 5-feet-8 3/4 inches.
As for the men, seniors Nick Giancana and Austin Hoag finished first and third, respectively, with heights of 6-feet-10 3/4 inches and 6-feet-8 3/4 inches.
Senior Lindsay Vollmer completed a successful meet with two top-three finishes. After taking first in the
prelims, Vollmer finished in third in the 100-meter hurdle finals, timing in at 13.51 seconds. Vollmer's other top-three finish came in the long jump, where she leaped 20-feet-3 3/4 inches, good for second in the event.
Vollmer also ran on the 4x400 relay team of sophomores Zainab Sanni, Whitney Adams and Adriana Newell. The team took fifth place in the event. Junior Sydney Conley picked up a second-place finish in the 100-meter timing in at 11.52 seconds. Sanni placed fifth with a time of 11.65 seconds.
Kansas will host the 88th annual Kansas Relays beginning Wednesday at 10 a.m. with the decathlon 100 meters.

Sophomore Wayne Selden Jr. to play another season with Jayhawks
Coming into his first season at Kansas, Wayne Selden Jr. had high expectations.
Selden was projected as a lottery pick in the 2014 NBA draft, but his performance during his freshman campaign did not see him leaving school. A year later, Selden decided to stay for one more year after another up-and-down season at Kansas during his sophomore campaign.
Dylan Sherwood
@dmantheman2011
Selden, a 6-foot-5 guard out of Roxbury, Mass., has started in every game he has played at Kansas. Selden was also a McDonald's All-American before coming to the University. His freshman year, he played in 35 games, and this year, he played in 36. During his freshman season, Selden averaged 9.7 points and was named an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention selection. Selden broke out during his freshman season with a then-career-high 24 points
in his first Big 12 Conference game against Oklahoma. The previous week, Selden was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.
In his first two games in the NCAA Tournament, Selden scored only a combined four points against Eastern Kentucky and Stanford. Two days later, Selden had announced via Twitter that he would be returning to Kansas for
his sophomore season.
Selden entered the 2014-15 season with high expectations as former Kansas players Andrew Wiggins, Joel Embiid and Tarik Black entered the NBA. Selden stayed at his average with 9.8 points in 36 games in Kansas' secondstraight exit from the NCAA Tournament in the Round of 32. Selden broke out in three different
games this past season — the first was the 18-point comeback against Florida in December, in which Selden scored 21 points. He didn't have another big game until March 13, in which he had 20 points against Baylor. Selden then had his best game as a Jayhawk on March 14, scoring a career-high 25 points in the loss against Iowa State.
Selden suffered an ankle injury late in the season, keeping him from playing to his full potential in the final two conference games against West Virginia and Oklahoma.
Expect Selden to take more of a leadership role in his junior season. Kansas will have three main seniors: Jamari Traylor, Hunter Mickelson and Perry Ellis, if he decides to return. Sophomore guards Frank Mason and Brannen Greene will return as well, along with freshman guards Devonte' Graham and Svi Mykhailiuk.
If Selden wants to go to the NBA, next year will have to be his best in a Kansas uniform.
Kansas rowing shows its strength in two-day Knecht Cup

@GriffinHughes
In its last regatta before Big 12 competition, the Kansas rowing team showed it belongs at the top. Rob Catloth's team never finished below third place in an event final.
The two-day Knecht Cup featured some of the best schools in the country, including three of the nation's top 20 teams. Kansas competed in its heats Saturday, which
qualified them to move on to Sunday's races. In some instances the Jayhawks competed in semifinals, while in other races, they moved directly into finals.
Kansas won four of its five heats, with all of the varsity teams moving on to compete on Sunday. In events with semifinals, the top two boats of each semifinal went on to the grand final, while the next two went to the petite final and the next two went to the third final.
The Second Varsity Four boat took first in its heat, finishing 10 seconds ahead of its closest competition. That was good enough to move the team into the grand final, where it finished less than two seconds behind Tulsa for second place. The First Varsity Four boat, led by coxswain Mallory Miller, a sophomore from Pleasant Hill, Mo., finished first in its heat, which qualified the team for Sunday's races. The First Varsity Four team finished
third in its semi and competed in the Petite Finals later that day. It ended up 1.8 seconds behind Bucknell in that race.
semifinal, just 0.7 seconds behind Buffalo. The team proceeded to blow away the competition in the Petite Final, finishing at least two seconds ahead of all competitors.
The First and Third Varsity Eight boats won their first heats, which was good enough to put them both into the semifinals Sunday. The First Varsity Eight boat, led by seniors Brooke Thuston, from Kearney, Mo., and Claudijah Lever, from Milwaukee, and coxswain Mary Slatter, a junior from Lenexa, finished third in the
The Third Varsity Eight boat used a dominating performance in its heat to earn an automatic bid to the finals, where it squared off with the winner of the other heat: Boston College. The Jayhawks finished less than two seconds off the lead, but their time was
good enough to earn their third top-two finish of the day
Next up the Jayhawks will begin conference competition in the big 12 & Big Ten Double Dual on April 25.
Overall the Jayhawks never finished outside the top three in any varsity event final and managed to capture one win as Lever led her boat to victory in the First Varsity Eight Petite Finals.

COMMENTARY
Perry Ellis is crucial to extend Big 12 streak
Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU
Following the Jayhawks' defeat in the NCAA Tournament, the conversation about players who might declare for the NBA draft began, focusing solely on the freshmen. At the time, the thought of junior Perry Ellis going pro wasn't really on anyone's mind.
On Thursday, however, multiple media outlets, including the Lawrence Journal-World and Kansas City Star, reported Ellis received information on his draft stock from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee, which caused a stir within the KU community.
However Ellis' decision may end up, it may prove to be a crucial one for Kansas next year
Early last season, coach Bill Self acknowledged that Ellis hadn't been at his best, but as the year went on, he showed improvement. In fact, late in February, Self said Ellis was playing like he was "the best player in the league," and had been "absolutely dominant."
It wasn't quite the storybook ending for Ellis, who suffered a knee injury over the last month of the season, and the play of the team mirrored that; Kansas finished the year 3-3 in its last six games.
That is why Ellis' decision means so much.
Oklahoma is also a possible contender, returning all but one key player from last year's team, which finished 24-11, earning a No.3 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Oklahoma will also add Christian James, who ESPN has as a four-star recruit.
If Ellis were to move on, the Jayhawks would be without their two starting big men from the year before, finding themselves in a conference where some of the other teams seem poised to make a run.
After all, Iowa State has emerged as a serious contender, with numerous returning standouts, including Georges Niang, who was All-Big 12 First Team last year.
Additionally, Kansas went 14-3 in games in which Ellis scored 15-or-more points before his injury. However, when he scored 10 or fewer points, Kansas went just 8-5 for the year - a stretch that accounted for more than half of the team's losses.
Prior to his injury, Kansas was 14-2 when Ellis played 30 minutes of more. But when he failed to hit that total, the team went just 9-4, with a win percent drop-off of nearly 20 percent.
It's also worth noting that both Oklahoma and Iowa State are ranked in the top 10 of ESPN reporter Eamonn Brennan's "Way- Too-Early Top 25," with the Cyclones all the way up at No.4 — four spots ahead of the Jayhawks.
Ultimately, without Ellis, the Jayhawks will likely start the year as the third or fourth conference favorite. And while they've certainly overcome tough odds in the past, at some point, the magic is bound to run out.

The Kansas Jayhawks (15-21, 3-6) clinched their first Big 12 series win, winning two of three games, with a 4-2 victory against the No. 9 Oklahoma State Cowboys (24-11, 8-4) on Sunday.
"I think we're going to take off after this," senior first baseman Blair Breck said. "It gives us a lot of confidence. I think it's a big momentum booster."
No pitcher dominated like senior Drew Morowick on Saturday, but the Jayhawks had great efforts from three pitchers: freshman Blake Weiman and sophomores Sean Rackoski and Stephen Villines.
Weiman went 5.1 innings and gave up just one run. Rackoski pitched 2.1 innings and gave up one run with three huge strikeouts.
"We've been trying to get [Rackoski] to be tougher and more competitive," Kansas coach Ritch Price said. "He took a huge step forward today; those were two huge innings he pitched for us against the meat of their lineup with guys on base."
Villines emphatically shut the door with 1.1 innings pitched, no runs allowed and two strikeouts. He was awarded the save for the second consecutive day.
yourself. He had all of those qualities."
"He had a really tough weekend last weekend," Price said. "For him to bounce back to get two saves against that team shows you how competitive that kid is."
The Cowboys struck first with a solo home run in the second inning by catcher Bryan Case, but the Jayhawks didn't blink.
"He knows he has one of the hardest roles in baseball. When you give up a late lead, that's devastating to you and the entire team. You have to be the toughest guy in the dugout, you have to have the most swagger in the dugout and you have to believe in
You have to play all nine innings and get all 27 outs," Price said. "You have to be as tough and competitive as your opponents in the other dugout. The energy in both dugouts was really good, both teams wanted to win the series badly."
In the fourth inning, after two walks and a single by junior second baseman Colby Wright, Beck delivered a two RBI double, just as he did Saturday.
centerfielder Joe Moroney up to bat. Moroney drilled a pitch to center field, but Oklahoma State's Ryan Sluder made a sliding catch to end the inning.
"I've watched a lot of film on my swing," Beck said. "I struggled a bit at Oklahoma and I had to make an adjustment. The guys in front of me are seeing good pitches and hitting well, and that's allowing me to do the same."
The Jayhawks loaded the bases again in the same inning with redshirt junior
"That could have changed the game," Price said. "We could have blown it open right there."
Senior right fielder Dakota Smith added another run for the Jayhawks in the sixth inning with a solo home run to make it 3-1.
in the seventh inning, senior shortstop Justin Protacio hit a leadoff double and advanced to third on a passed ball. Sophomore catcher Michael Tinsley provided the Jayhawks with an insurance run with a RBI single to make the score 4-1.
Case added another solo home run for the Cowboys, but it was not enough to overcome the Jayhawks.
The Jayhawks turn their attention to Missouri State (24-8) on Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark.

Softball drops weekend series to Texas Tech

The No. 22 Jayhawks (33-7, 4-5) were unable to carry momentum from a weekend sweep of the Oklahoma State Cowgirls into the weekend series against the Texas Tech Red Raiders (18-23, 2-7), losing the series 2-1.
The Jayhawks began the weekend dropping the first game of the series by a score of 8-7 Friday. The Jayhawks led the Red Raiders by a score of 6-2 entering the bottom of the third inning, when Texas Tech began to make a comeback. The Red Raiders scored six runs over the final four innings of the game to take the win.
"Offensively, we came out really hot and our pitching didn't support it," Kansas coach Megan Smith said, according to a University release. "Instead of our offense continuing to battle, we just kind of struggled down the stretch. We were hot and cold in that game, offensively."
Senior Maddie Stein led the Jaylawks in Friday's game with three hits and two runs. Freshman Daniella Chavez added two hits and three RBIs. Senior pitcher Alicia Pille started Friday, striking out three batters in three innings pitched. Sophomore Sophia Templin and freshman Bryn Houlton also pitched in Friday's game, striking out a combined three batters.
The Jayhawks got back into the win column Saturday, defeating the Red Raiders by a score of 11-9 in 10 innings. Seniors Chanin Naudin and Stein led the Jayhawks in the 10th inning; both recording clutch hits that helped Kansas put the game away.
The game was tied in the 10th inning until Stein batted in a three-run RBI to give the Jayhawks the lead. Naudin added to the Jayhawks' lead by hitting a two-run home run to secure the win.
"We kept putting pressure on them, which I liked," Smith said, according to a University release. "Maddie was clutch with that hit and Chanin was huge coming through with the home run
Junior Chaley Brickey led the Jayhawks on Sunday with three hits and three RBIs. Sophomore Lily Behrmann, Naudin and freshman Jessie Roane added one hit apiece for Kansas. The Jayhawks and the Red Raiders both recorded nine hits each Sunday.
The Jayhawks were unable to win the series Sunday, falling to the Red Raiders 5-4. After trailing 5-0 entering the seventh inning, the Jayhawks scored four runs in a furious rally attempt that fell short.
to score two more runs in that inning. I wasn't sure five was going to be enough, but lucky for us it was."
Houlton got the start Sunday, striking out two
batters and allowing two runs in her 2.2 innings pitched. Senior Beth Wilson replaced Houlton, but could not strike any batters out while allowing three runs. Templin finished out the game for the Jayhawks, striking out two batters while not allowing the Red Raiders to score.
This is the second series of the season the Jayhawks have lost, having been swept by the Texas Longhorns to begin Big 12 play.
Up next, the Jayhawks will face off against the Tulsa Hurricanes on Saturday and Sunday inside the Collins Family Softball Complex in Tulsa, Okla.

When Nichole Flynn was sexually assaulted during her freshman year, she didn't know where to go to report it, so she never did.
"I didn't feel like there was anyone I could go to about it, particularly due to my status as a freshman and their status as an upperclassman," Flynn said. "I didn't know about the [Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access] until last semester when all of this stuff blew up."
That's one reason why Flynn, a senior from Hutchinson,
Susie McClannahan, a senior from Prairie Village, is not a member of LFM but participated in the demonstration because she said she thinks it's important to continue to be an activist for sexual assault survivors.
Participants in front of Watson Library didn't carry mattresses, but chanted, "end rape culture," "stop profiting off rape," "we support survivors" and "survivors' rights now."
"I feel that the administration is hoping that this issue just kind of disappears without being addressed, and that

said she is part of the Lawrence Feminist Movement, which organized a demonstration on campus Monday afternoon to raise awareness about rape culture and support survivors of sexual assault.
"This event is really about demanding policy changes, demanding that people who perpetrate sexual assaults are brought to justice, regardless of whether or not they work for the University," said Noemi Goze, a junior from Chicago and founder of LFM.
The demonstration was part of a National Day of Action for the Carry that Weight coalition.

Person responsible for writing slurs on dorm room calendar banned
University officials have banned from campus a person who wrote racial slurs on a dry-erase calendar in a student's room in McColum Residence Hall last November, a KU spokesperson said in a statement this afternoon.
Dates on the calendar were marked with "catch [N-word]," "feed [N-word]," and "kill [N-word]." A photo of the calendar appeared in a tweet posted more than a week ago, with the hashtag #RockChalkInvisible-Hawk.
Several students with knowledge of the situation said housing staff members found the calendar while checking rooms over Thanksgiving break and reported it to the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access.
Officials said the University investigated and found the writings were the work of a non-student visitor, and it was reported to IOA, but provided no other details.
"The language depicted in the photo is reprehensible and entirely inconsistent with the values of our university community." Director of News and Media Relations Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said in
the statement. "While we do not release names or details from these types of investigations, we can say that the person who wrote this awful language was not, and is not, a KU student. Additionally, that individual has since been banned from visiting KU residence halls or dining facilities."
Kennedi Grant, a sophomore from St. Louis who currently works in McCollum, said she is concerned with the University's response.
"The language depicted in the photo is reprehensible and entirely inconsistent with the values of our university community."
ERINN BARCOMB-PETERSON Director of News and Media Relations
"This is one of the most vile things I've seen on this campus and it's more concerning that KU hasn't taken the appropriate measures to help students feel more safe," she said. "When you have people that think it okay to write things like this, no one is safe and no one is exempt."

Former university student speaks out about hazing, sexual assault in fraternities
After the exploitation of The Rolling Stone's "A Rape on Campus" article, an anonymous former student from the University who pledged a fraternity his freshman year responded by writing a post for Feministing.com. The piece questions the idea that some men in fraternities are the "bad apples" and contrasts that idea to what many, including the author, believe is a systemic issue. He also discusses his experience pledging an unnamed fraternity at the University.
The writer states he and other new members of the frat were expected to "be seen and not heard" while scrambling to make sure their upperclassmen brothers' rooms are cleaned as
The former student also writes that on any given night per week, he and other new members would stand shoulder-to-shoulder in nothing but boxes, while sophomore members of the fraternity would "quiz, interrogate and berate us." The former student later states he found out that members of other fraternities on campus dealt with hazing more often and worse than he did.
well as put together parties that are staged to help "boost the chances of drunken koop-ups."
A study from 2009 found that binge drinking occurred with 89 percent of fraternity members, compared to 45 percent of non-members. Last fall, all four publicized sexual assaults involved underage drinking, and three of which were located at a fraternity, according to the Lawrence Journal-World and the Kansan.

Rock Chalk Revue execs revise rules,plans for 2016
+
MACKENZIE CLARK
@mclark59
Rock Chalk Revue executives have made changes in hopes of preventing stereotyping in future shows, following backlash over an incident in March.
A character named Paco in one of the shows last month sparked reaction from the Hispanic American Leadership Organization (HALO) and others on campus for what the Greek Governing Council later called "an egregious and offensive misrepresentation of the Latino community."
Cameron Smith, executive producer of Rock Chalk Revue, said the executive team has changed some procedures for next year, although some specific details of plans have not yet been finalized because the executive team turnover is
at the end of this week.
He said the team has changed bylaws to ensure all shows will be reviewed by a sensitivity panel in script form and in live rehearsals. New rules state that participants in the annual philanthropy must adhere and make changes when the sensitivity panel makes recommendations.
Ramiro Sarmiento, president of the Multicultural Greek Council and junior from Wichita, said he would like to get to the point where sensitivity panels aren't necessary at all.
"We should not have to have a filtering process because people should just naturally know that certain things are offensive," he said.
Marilynn Chavez, president of HALO, said she is unsure of how much progress has been made, and the central
University administration has still not recognized the incident.
"I think that's a really important part of addressing these types of issues — having the University actually recognize that these issues are going on, and taking steps to improve campus and to improve cultural competency," she said.

Chavez suggested participants in Rock Chalk Revue could be encouraged to attend any events sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs to hopefully glean a better knowledge of topics in diversity.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., on Fox News on March 30. Sen. Rubio announced Monday that he will run for president in the upcoming election.
Sen. Marco Rubio tells backers he is running for president, 'time has come for our generation'
MIAMI — Sen. Marco Rubio entered the presidential race Monday by offering the nation a younger generation of leadership that breaks free of ideas "stuck in the 20th century," a jab at both Democratic favorite Hillary Rodham Clinton and his one-time Republican mentor, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Standing in front of a banner that proclaimed "A New American Century" and repeating that refrain throughout his kickoff speech, the 43-year-old Cuban-American used his first turn as a Republican presidential candidate to take on two of America's political dynasties. In doing so, he bet heavily on the electorate's frustrations with Washington and his ability to change how
his party is seen by voters.
"This election is not just about what laws we are going to pass."
Rubio told his evening rally. "It is a generational choice about what kind of country we will be."
He said its also a choice between the haves and have-nots, nodding to his own upbringing by working-class parents. "I live an exceptional country where the son of a bartender and a maid can have the same dreams and the same future as those who come from power and privilege."
his party is seen by voters
Earlier in the day, the first-term Republican from Florida spoke to his top donors and told them many families feel the American Dream is slipping away and young Americans face unequal opportunities. He's banking on the hope that he, alone among many GOP rivals, can make inroads with groups that have long eluded Republicans — young people, minorities and the less affluent.

it can outlast us," she said. "This is not a public relations issue — this is a safety issue for students, and it should be addressed as such."
Despite the fact that more than 60 people RSVP'd to the demonstration's Facebook event, the attendees never hit double digits. Goze said she was disappointed in the turnout.
"I honestly think it's troubling how many people are OK with rape when it isn't
"I think the attitude demonstrated by students is indicative of rape culture," she said. "The people are not willing to face it head on, or they think that it's not enough of an issue to come physically and show force and opposition to it."
Flynn Nichols, an LFM member, said rape is a pervasive problem, and he wants that to change. A recent study published in "Violence and Gender" found that more than 30 percent of men surveyed answered that, if the surveyor didn't use the term "rape," they would sexually assault a woman.
"Luckily, we're not a campus-based organization, so KU doesn't have jurisdiction over us," Goze said. However, she said she fears retaliation because of statements the group makes.
literally called 'rape," he said.
Goze said she and others started LFM about three months ago. It is "made up mostly of queer people, and we are specifically pro-people of color," she said.
Flynn said LFM members are willing to listen to survivors' stories without judgment.
The University's Sexual Assault Task Force is scheduled to deliver its recommendations to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little by the end of the month. When this happens, Goze said LFM will meet on campus to "celebrate this release of information."
"The LFM stands and supports survivors, and we will always believe them and help them in any way we can," she said.
"We're thinking that it's a systemic problem [within the University]." Goze said.

"I have seen how insistent [Smith] is," Sarmiento said. "I have a feeling [the executive team] understood the severity of the event. [...] I know and I sense that they understood the impact."
He said he also met with leaders from the Panhellenic Association, Interfraternity Council and National Panhellenic Council after Spring Break, so these conversations are happening "on a greek community-wide level."
"We have been working very hard to figure out how we can keep this from happening." Sarmiento said, adding that with Cinco de Mayo coming up, he hopes these talks won't have to take place again on May 6.
Smith said he and the executive team are planning to meet with representatives from the MGC and HALO. The new and old executive teams will be present to "better educate those coming in about the situation and how best to move forward," he said.

According to a University news release, the class was established in response to recent new state requirements for anti-bullying training in colleges.
Robert Harrington, a professor in the Department of Psychology and Research in Education, has taught a similar class in the past. He will also teach the new class and said it is about establishing a broader definition of what bullying
really is.
"Bullying happens in a lot of different places," Harrington said. "It can happen in schools, it can happen in higher ed, and sexual harassment is also a kind of bullying."
While Harrington said the class focuses primarily on educating professionals working in K-12 schools, there are also other forms of bullying like racial bullying and bullying of international students at the University.
Bixi Qiao, a graduate student in education psychology from China, took one of Harrington's classes on bullying last semester. She said the class "covered a lot of different topics."
Harrington was awarded the Center of Sustainability's Social Justice award last year for his efforts in education bullying.
prevention is creating a warm environment for people, especially for high school students," Qiao said.
"The best thing for bullying
"It's a really interesting application to a current social issue," said Kim Criner, the Center of Sustainability's education and outreach coordinator. "Putting it in a social sustainability perspective, that we don't have the opportunity or access to equal opportunities because they are being hindered by social oppression."
Juror cuts continue in Co. theater shooting trial
Edited by Valerie Haag
SADIE GURMAN Associated Press
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — The months-long process of selecting a jury in the Colorado theater shooting case is nearing its end, the judge said as the pool of prospective jurors, once numbering 9,000, was reduced to 93 on Monday.
Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. said he anticipates a 12-member jury could be seated as soon as Tuesday in the trial of James Holmes. The judge also is seeking 12 alternate jurors for a trial that could last through the summer.
Holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in the July 20, 2012, attack that killed 12 people and injured 70. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, and opening statements are set for April 27.
Holmes had a new, shorter haircut for Monday's hearing and had shaved the bushy beard he wore just last week. He wore a brown shirt and reddish, tortoise shell glasses.
Nineteen people were dismissed on Monday, reducing the pool of prospects to 93. That's down from about 9,000 prospective jurors court officials initially summoned. Experts say the jury selection, which began in January, was among the largest and most complicated in U.S. history.
questionnaires starting Jan. 20, hundreds of people were asked to return for one-on-one sessions, where defense attorneys, prosecutors and the judge questioned them, sometimes for hours, about their views on the death penalty, mental illness and other aspects of the criminal justice system.
After filling out lengthy
Samour told attorneys that they could no longer press prospective jurors about those topics during group questioning that began Monday. Attorneys instead will ask questions about the rule of law and how prospective jurors gauge the credibility of witnesses who testify.
Unlike in individual questioning, attorneys can now dismiss potential jurors without giving cause.
Samour said he was
impressed by the prospective jurors, many of whom told him they would rather not serve on the jury but would if needed, giving up four or five months of their lives.
"You are the reason we have the democratic society we relish today," Samour told them, noting that one prospective juror moved her honeymoon from May to April and another agreed to get up at 3 a.m. to get in five hours of work every day.
Samour, who is from El Salvador, also tried to put them at ease, poking fun at his accent and making a joke. "Now that you understand how long and inefficient jury selection is, do you understand why they never show it on 'Law and Order'?" he said, referring to the long-running TV series.

Aurora theater shooting suspect James Holmes is seated in court in Centennial, Colo., on June 4, 2013. Jury selection in the Colorado theater shooting case enters its final stage Monday when attorneys begin questioning prospective jurors as a large group. Prosecutors and defense attorneys will whittle 115 remaining candidates down to 12 jurors and 12 alternates serve in the months-long trial of Holmes. Opening statements are scheduled for April 27.

W When logging into Facebook, one of the first things
to pop up are either engagement photos or wedding photos. Three out of my five best friends have a significant other. Being single can be hard and sometimes a bit awkward, but being single in college carries no indication of imperfection or weakness.
There are many reasons why people choose not to be in a
relationship during college. Some are too busy, with school and work consuming their lives. Others know who they are looking for, meaning they won't settle for just anyone.
It's important for society to stop defining single as sad and lonely. Sometimes being single is a choice. It's a choice to wait for the right person to give you feelings of serendipity and love, something your peers in relationships are experiencing. Being single is not a sign of weakness or fear. When a woman is single, it doesn't mean that she's crazy, and when a man is single, it doesn't mean that he sleeps around. By choosing to be on your own, you end up having the ultimate best friend: yourself. You become
more independent. You get to sleep alone, go out with your friends without a significant other and deal with issues that life throws at you — on your own. Being single takes strength — the strength to be comfortable enough in your

Despite what others may
"BEING SINGLE IS NOT A SIGN OF WEAKNESS OR FEAR. WHEN A WOMAN IS SINGLE, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT SHE'S CRAZY, AND WHEN A MAN IS SINGLE, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT HE SLEEPS AROUND."
say, I vouch that college is the best time to be single and to expand your own personal identity without the help of a
own skin and not need validation from another human. But, like being single, there is nothing wrong with being
significant other. If love isn't knocking on your door, don't fret.
Being single while in school means that you only have to focus on you. Being in your twenties means it's your time to be selfish. Some choose to spend this time giving their attention and love to a significant other, while the rest give their attention to themselves.
Many things in life aren't guaranteed, and people staying in your life are one of these things. But the one person you will always have is yourself, and being single in college forces you to get to know you best.

Foxx said, "We got Bruce Jenner, who will be here doing some musical performances. He's doing a his-and-her duel all by himself...Look, I'm just busting your balls while I still can."

Gay and Lesbian Center, at the time, 40 percent of the city's homeless population was LGBT youth. Would Foxx have done this if he had anything against transgender individuals? He could have championed any other number of causes, but instead chose to support this group of people.

Tyler, The Creator uses new sound, fosters maturity on 'Cherry Bomb'
FAVORITE TRACK
THE BROWN STAINS
OF DARKEESE
LATIFAH (PART 6-12)
"Tyler brings what he says is a Juvenile-inspired flow on this track, and it plays off the beat in a way he has never been able to work a beat before."
Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
RICH FURY/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tyler, The Creator performs at the 2015 Coachella Music and Arts Festival on April 11 in Indio, Calif. The rapper released his new album digitally on Monday.
Since his rap collective Odd Future took off in the late 2000's, Los Angeles-based rapper Tyler, The Creator has been vocal about his "radical" beliefs. And he's relished those beliefs, even producing records sporting that name in the title.
1985-07-26
He's also been just as vocal about the way jazz and soul music has influenced him, which is a sentiment only few have come to recognize. But he hasn't put those influences on display in his previous records.
For once, on his newest album, "Cherry Bomb," released April 13, he's put the jazz, neo-soul influences into full effect, and he did it well. But the influences of N*E*R*D — a hip-hop group led by Pharrell Williams — and Death Grips seem to be evident as well.
CHERRY
BOOMB
PARENTAL EXPLICIT CONTENT
It makes sense that we've never really seen this soulful, jazzy side of Tyler, The Creator — birth name Tyler Gregory Okonma — in his older music, simply because he's not a soulful man. On the track "Jamba," off of his 2013 album, "Wol," Tyler raps, "Get s*** poppin' like Peter's pores during puberty."
But those days feel all but over on his new album. On "Cherry Bomb," Tyler has done a complete 180. At 24 years old, his production which he does heavily on this album, much like his past two — has finally matured The aforementioned influences make this album the most diverse hip-hop record of 2015 from a production point of view.
RATING: 8.2/10
We get a gritty, hard-hitting rap-rock song over a distorted guitar riff on the opener "DEATHCAMP" and by the end of the album, on "OKAGA, CA," Tyler has moved onto a doo-wop sound which featured production from the legendary Leon Ware, who has worked with icons such as Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye.
Of course, you can't talk about Tyler's age and maturity without talking about "F****ING YOUNG/PER-FECT," where he outlines the story of a girl he's fallen for but he's too old for, stating
In between these two bookend tracks, we get "SMUCKERS" a beautiful collaboration of strings and horns, along with old school-type verses from Kanye West and Lil Wayne. Toward the end of this track, Wayne and Tyler, The Creator bounce back and forth in their verses over a jazz-infused beat. The two rappers come together for a soulful interlude.
he's six years older than she is. He's so much older that he's concerned about getting jail time, as Kali Uchis comes in the hook to sing, "a six-year difference is a 10-year sentence." This is where the neo-soul really kicks in; the synths are strong throughout the track, and we also get horns and strings as well. Tyler still comes off as immature in some of his lyrics, saying on the most serious track on the album "F***ING YOUNG/PERFECT" that he can't be in a relationship because "my d*** is longer than my attention span." It's a line like this that shows Tyler still has plenty of room to grow, but this album, pushing an entirely new and experimental sound, in a way, was huge.
One listen through the album and you'll catch one main theme: "find your wings." It may be obvious from the track titled "FIND YOUR WINGS," but it seems to be Tyler's mission statement to his listeners on this album. The track itself is the epitome of what I believe Tyler is wanting to do on this album: uplift. Uplift not only himself by doing what he wants, but uplift his listeners, who primarily consist of young adults, and encourage them to fly into whatever
they desire to do, just as he has done so successfully.
In his third attempt, Tyler has created an album that is not only sonically refreshing to the hip-hop ear, but also to any listener, something that hasn't been a trait of. Tyler's production in the past. While he still has some work to do concerning the maturity of his lyrics — topically and in individual lines themselves — the sound is there. Musically, Tyler is finally beginning to find his sound.
FAVORITE TRACK:
THE BROWN STAINS OF
DARKEES LATIFAH (Part 6-12)
Tyler brings what he says is a juvenile-inspired flow on this track, and it plays off the beat in a way he has never been able to work a beat before. He's certainly never worked a beat that is this beautiful, yet simple, before. This song just flows, and in an absolutely righteous way. After rapping about his soberness in an almost a cappella verse to start, some chords come for
RICH FURY/ASSOCIATED PRESS
another part, before the bass comes, and it becomes a full-on banger. The lyrics get pretty ridiculous here, but who's really listening to Tyler for his lyrics anyway? He changes his voice up on parts 9 and 10 before handing off the mic to the Top Dawg Entertainment's Schoolboy Q for his two parts. Personally, I would have rather see Tyler finish this song off on his own, but Schoolboy Q fit well on the track.

Campus Arts Week encourages interaction
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellvcordinglev
From cellists to dancers, from actors to rappers, Campus Arts Week was chock-full of artists sharing their craft. This year was the first that the celebration of art has been a full week rather than a single day.
Courtney Foat, KU Libraries executive coordinator, said the libraries helped to spearhead the organization and promotion of the weeklong event series, which ended April 12.
"We wanted to expand it this year because we felt itd be a better means to highlight more work across campus and part of it is featuring the opportunities for students to get involved with exhibits and performances regardless of their major." Foat said.
Anthea Scouffas, engagement and education director at the Lied Center, said the Lied Center wanted to play a bigger role this year; it was a venue for five events during the week.
"I think the idea is to show everybody that there's a lot of art happening all over all the time," Scouffas said. "It's not just the things that were created around this week. There are things that were happening anyway. KU Theatre and the School of Music have things going on."
Emphasizing how art is everywhere was just one of the goals Foat said she had for the event.
"The event really serves to highlight all of that and show there's so much students can be involved with and feature the cultural richness of campus," she said. "We were able to work with more groups —
performing arts, music, the Lied Center and more — and the weeklong format makes that more possible. We hope it continues to grow and be more successful."
Students dining in the Underground or studying in Anschutz last Tuesday and Wednesday may have noticed performers dancing, singing opera or reading poetry as part of Push 4 Art, which allowed passers-by to push a
"We wanted to expand it this year because we felt it'd be a better means to highlight more work across campus..."
"It's this fun thing with art happening all day long." Scouffias said. "It's to show there are lots of students on campus, not just ones in theater or dance or music, and it's a great way to show what they can do and remind people that it's all around us all the time."
button for a student to immediately begin a performance. This idea was started by art students at the University of Illinois.
Foat said watching students engage in art was exciting.
Foat also said she enjoyed seeing the collaboration between different departments during Thursday's screening

of "Grizzly Man" at the Natural History Museum. She said the museum wanted to be involved, and the Film and Media Studies department needed a place to show the movie.
"They collaborated to do this together," she said. "That's what you hope to see outside of Arts Week, that units will work across campus to do things that are mutually relevant."
Between classes and extracurriculars, Foat said it can be difficult for students to recognize the ways they can branch out and get involved in the arts.
"I want to encourage that awareness and openness," she said. "I think everyone's engrossed in their bubble of focus and going to class, so being able to stop and step out of that is healthy and enriching."

Gwyneth Paltrow among celebs to join #FoodBankNYCChallenge

While the fashion mogul and clean-eating guru
has shown us how to rock heels and simmer bone broth (yeah, that's a real thing), Gwyneth Paltrow is now participating in the #Food-BankNYCChallenge, and wants other celebrities to as well.

The challenge was started by renowned chef and TV personality Mario Batali and the New York City Food Bank. They challenge New Yorkers to "walk in the shoes of 1.7 million New Yorkers who rely on SNAP (formerly Food Stamps)" The website states that SNAP only offers $1.38 per meal for a person to live on.
FOR MORE CONTENT
Paltrow posted a photo last week of what $29 worth of food, the New York City weekly allotment, might look like. While hers contained a plethora of greens and legumes, it certainly didn't look like enough food for a week.
Paltrow has been chastised online for taking the challenge, some calling her out for her healthy, off-the-beaten-path food choices and some saying she is almost mocking those who need this assistance. Others took aim at her wealth and how lucky she is for this to be a choice for her.

She also nominated chef Roy Choi, tweeting, "We're walking in their shoes to see how far we get."

Big Blonde Life" Hannah Elisabeth has taken a few digs at Paltrow, saying she's as out of touch with the population as Hillary Clinton.
With Kansas recently passing a bill to tighten welfare restrictions, this issue is one that is touching people all over the country.
Kansas is likely to pass a bill capping welfare benefits to recipients at 36 months, 24 months less than the federal maximum. It also restricts what recipients can do with their funds, which "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart criticized during his segment
on what's wrong with Kansas government.
rtarvesters Food Network, which serves both Kansas and Missouri, launched a SNAP challenge in March, too. They challenged individuals to live on $4.50 a day, which is the average daily amount for a person in the area.
One Harvesters employee tweeted a photo of her meal during the challenge that consisted of tuna and a banana, and wrote that she missed chocolate.
Another tweeter who took the challenge tweeted that she woke up with a fever and
cough, questioning whether being hungry can lower the immune system.
While Harvesters' push was less well known among celebs, the point was to raise awareness for how difficult and nearly impossible it is to live a healthy lifestyle while on food stamps.
So, whether Paltrow is catching flak or praise, at least people are talking about the issues of hunger in America and the difficulties food stamp recipients face day-to-day.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Which team will clinch the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference?
Dylan Sherwood
@dmantheman2011
BROOKLYN NETS
With probably one of the easiest opponents left on the schedule, the Brooklyn Nets will look to get back into the NBA playoffs as they play the Orlando Magic at home on Wednesday. However, they are doing it without two core players from last year's team, after trading Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett away to different teams.
The Nets are coming off a couple of losses, to Milwaukee and Chicago, but still have one game left on the schedule. The two results were certainly disappointing, as Milwaukee has been trending down since the All Star break and Chicago hasn't been at full strength, even with a returning rose.
For the Nets, their remaining home game is in Brooklyn at the Barclays
Center, as they'll take on the Magic in a possible win-and-you're-in situation, depending on what the Indiana Pacers do with their remaining schedule.
Even without two big stars, who used to play for the Nets, Brooklyn still has some high-profile players who have been part of the team's core since it changed its name in 2012, including Joe Johnson, Brook Lopez and Deron Williams. Thaddeus Young and Jarrett Jack, who were added to the team more recently, are also excelling as two of the team's top scorers.
This combination of new and old are currently leading the team, each scoring in the double-figures each game, with Lopez leading the pack at 17.3 points per game, followed by Johnson with 14.4 points. Young scores an average of 14.1 points per game, Williams averages 13.1 points, and Jack earns an even 12 points per game.
could see the Heat miss the playoffs for the first time since LeBron James went to Miami.
The combination of the five has really been in a bond as the Eastern Conference has been wide-open all year, toward the bottom of the conference. The Nets were just below the eighth spot just last week, due to Miami losing key games, which
"THE NETS DEFINITELY NEED TO GET A WIN TO AVOID THEIR PLAYOFF HOPES BEING SHATTERED, BUT THEY'RE STILL IN GOOD POSITION."
Brooklyn has been a better franchise after moving from New Jersey appearing in the playoffs every year since moving to Brooklyn. If the Nets want to continue the success in Brooklyn, they must win. And that's exactly what they'll do.
The Nets definitely need to get a win to avoid their playoff hopes being shattered, but they're still in good position. Plus, if Indiana starts to falter, the Nets will be in a good spot to take on the Atlanta Hawks in the first round, which will take place this upcoming weekend.

INDIANA PACERS
With the regular NBA season coming to an
end, the Eastern Conference has the eighth seed open for three or four teams to take. With their recent streak and coming of health, the Indiana Pacers have the best shot at scoring that spot.
"THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE NOW IS THAT THE PACERS HAVE... PAUL GEORGE."
After Sunday night's games, the Pacers and the Brooklyn Nets were tied for the eighth seed with a record of 37-43. The Nets had an ugly loss to the Milwaukee Bucks 96-73 on the road while Indiana was able to hold off the Oklahoma City Thunder. The
Pacers were able to outlast the Thunder in the fourth quarter to win 116-104. Russell Westbrook put up 54 points, but the Pacers' defense was able to prevent the comeback.
Even with a depleted roster all year long, the Pacers have still been able to retain one of the league's best defenses, which is why they are still playoff contenders. They rank fifth in the league in points allowed per game only giving up an average of 98 points per game. They also don't allow their opponents many shot opportunities, ranking third in the league in opponent field-goal percentage at 43.5 percent.
The biggest difference now is that the Pacers have their star back in Paul George. Although George has played limited minutes since his return, he has still been an efficient scorer in his time on the floor, averaging 10.3 points per game in an average of 14.5 minutes of action. As he gets healthier, he will start to play more, especially in the crucial games coming up. If he can help the Pacers score even more efficiently, they will be able to give opponents a tough game.
On the other side, The
Nets are right in the middle in term of both offense and defense, but rank closer to the bottom half of the league in points allowed and opponent field-goal percentage. In their final two games of the season, they play Chicago and Orlando. In order for them to have a good chance they will need to take care of business against Orlando, because the Pacers have won five straight.
The Pacers will play against the Grizzlies and the Wizards, who will both be tough matchups but if the defense can hold together they have a chance to knock them off, especially with the momentum they have carried during the past couple weeks. Although unlikely, if the Grizzlies or Wizards decided to rest their stars in the final games of the season, the Pacers could have a good chance at winning those games.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
A lot of what happens in the Pacers' final two games of the season depends on how Roy Hibbert plays. With George limited on minutes at the moment, Hibbert will have to play strong defense and help out George Hill on the offensive end.
"What I loved was that (Alicia) Pile came out and put up zeros. She struggled with that yesterday, but she came out in a critical situation today and put up zeros giving our offense some more time to figure their pitcher."

THE MORNING BREW
The 2015 season for Kansas softball has been nothing short of incredible. The Jayhawks sit at 33-7 and 4-5 in conference play and they are challenging top-tier teams in the Big 12.
2015: Best chance for Kansas Softball to win first conference
the Jayhawks are led by All-Big 12 Second Team junior shortstop Chaley Brickey and freshman designated hitter Daniella Chavez. Brickley is the team's home run leader at 11 and tied for first with 49 total runs batted in. Chavez is second on the team in home runs at 12 and tied for first on the team RBIs with 49.

Senior starting pitcher Alicia Pille leads the team with 20 wins and just two losses in 30 appearances. But the most important player for the Jayhawks success this could be team captain Maddie Stein. Stein, a senior first baseman, is fourth on the team in home runs at six, and second on the team in RBIs at 39, according to KU Athletics.

COMMENTARY Top KU football talent will be hard to replace

DAILY REPORT Which team will clinch the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference I PAGE 7
It's no secret that David Beaty and the rest of Kansas football have a tough road ahead.
Only two of the 11 men on the coaching staff are returning from last season: Clint Bowen and Reggie Mitchell. Whether or not that's a good thing remains to be seen. Change is tough, especially when athletes have to learn new faces, new plays and new calls.
The Jayhawks also lost 19 athletes who ran out of eligibility, including Ben Heeney, JaCorey Shepherd and Dexter McDonald, all of whom are more likely than not to end up on an NFL roster this summer.
Kansas had some other athletes leave the program as well. Senior running back Brandon Bourbon transferred to Washburn. Junior safety Isaiah Johnson transferred to South Carolina.Junior wide receiver Nigel King declared for the NFL Draft.
Another thing to note: junior wide receiver Rodriguez Coleman was arrested on suspicion of battery in December. If he's suspended for a few games when the season starts, that'll be another hole Kansas football has to fill.

Sophomore safety Fish Smithson had 49 tackles with two tackles for loss and added one pass breakup.
The top three defensive leaders from last season are gone, but numbers four through six are returning. Last season, junior linebacker Jake Love had 53 tackles with 9.5 tackles for loss and three sacks, while adding two quarterback hurries and one forced fumble.
Last season's top two running backs are returning. Freshman Corey Avery totaled 631 rushing yards and five touchdowns last season, while junior DeAndre Mann totaled 399 rushing yards.
Sophomore linebacker Courtney Arnick had 45 total tackles with four tackles for loss and one sack, while adding two pass breakups.
Despite these and other key players returning, there are still a lot of holes to fill. It's hard to replace guys like Heeney, Shepherd and McDonald. It's hard to get used to new coaches.
There are several athletes returning, but they are not as talented as the group of athletes who are on their way out.
Junior quarterback Michael Cummings had a career-best season last fall with fivestraight games where he threw for over 235 yards; he amassed 332 passing yards against nationally ranked TCU. Overall, he had 137 completions on 244 attempts for 1,715 yards, nine touchdowns and six interceptions.

Sophomore kicker Matthew Wyman is returning as well.
He made nine of 15 field goal attempts last season and converted 25 of 27 point-after attempts.

The 2014-2015 KU men's basketball team poses after their banquet Monday night. Kansas coach Bill Self remained optimistic about the teams' upcoming season.

"Cliff [Alexander] was dealt a bad hand, but he handled it like a man."
"For a three-week period in big 12 play, Perry Ellis played like a first team All-American," Self said.
"These kids played their butts off all season long."
["Oubre] had a great year, potential lottery pick, and we wish [him] nothing but the very best."
In late February, Ellis sprained his knee against West Virginia, and did not look like himself the remainder of the season.

Jayhawk fans in attendance erupted in an applause after the announcement, and for a good reason. Ellis led the Jayhawks in points (13.8) and rebounds per game (6.8) during the season. He won the Danny Manning Mr. Jayhawk award as team MVP.

OTHER NOTES FROM THE BANQUET
Kansas basketball coach Bill Self gave his team lots of compliments, and he seemed positive about the future. Self said sophmore guard Wayne Selden Jr. and freshman guard
Self also showed some love to the big men. He said he envisioned more playing time for senior forward Hunter Mickelson, who struggled to find minutes for much of last season.
"Hunter is going to have an impact on our team in a big way." Self said.
Mickelson averaged just seven minutes per contest
with the Jayhawks last year, but he stands at 6-foot-10, providing them with a much needed rim protector.
Before transferring to Kansas, Mickelson was a key performer at Arkansas, where he set the freshman block record with 69 blocks in 533
minutes of action. Mickelson averaged 5.2 blocks per 40 minutes as a freshman, posting similar numbers to that year's leader in blocks. Anthony Davis. Davis finished the season averaging 5.9 blocks per 40 minutes.

Sporting KC defender Ike Opara ruptures Achilles tendon, may miss rest of season
CONTRBUTED PHOTO FROM SPORTING KC
Sporting Kansas City defender like Opara couldn't have had a more triumphant first five weeks of the season after missing all of 2014 with a foot injury. The 26-year-old brought home two goals in the first four games of the season, both on set pieces, and also received Team of the Week and Player of the Month honors.
But Opara likely won't earn any more honors this season, he ruptured his Achilles tendon in Saturday's scoreless draw against Real Salt Lake. Opara may miss 4-6 months, according to the
Kansas City Star, or it's possible he won't play again this season.
The injury came in the 81st minute on Saturday as Opara dove backward to try to make contact with a corner kick at Sporting Park. He thanked well-wishers Monday on Twitter and said he would "keep my head up and push on."
It's a huge hit to Opara, whose career was almost cut short after his injury last season. It also won't help a Sporting Kansas City defense that has been one of the best in the league this season, already notching three shutouts in six games. However, manager Peter Vermes has a few options as to who could replace Opara.
utender Kevin Ellis has played every position on the backline with the team and would be a fine
fill-in, but he's likely not optimal as an every-week starter. Vermes could go with his young gun Erik Palmer-Brown, who just served with the U.S. Men's National Team Under-20 team in England. However, it's a possibility that Palmer-Brown could be loaned to the professional Italian team Juventus after he graduates from high school in May.
the last possibility, and likely the most feasible, is to use Ellis as a fill-in at center or right back, while Jalil Anibaba plays the other. If Ellis can fill the role for three to five weeks while Chance Myers, who ruptured his Achilles tendon last season, finishes up his rehab, Ellis will be able to move into the right back spot.

Uber threatens to leave Kansas if Brownback passes proposed bill
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Uber users in Kansas may be forced to find other forms of transportation if Gov. Sam Brownback signs SB117, a bill that regulates ride-hailing services.
Amendments were added to the bill that tighten restrictions on insurance for company drivers, as well as requiring some to pay for even more coverage depending on how their car is financed.
"Other cities in Kansas have shown interest," Altmin said. "This bill is just going to impede innovation."
These provisions were what led to Uber threatening to cease operations in the state. Currently, Uber is only offered in Wichita and Kansas City. However, despite Kansas not being a huge market for the company, Uber Spokeswoman Lauren Altmin said every city is important.

DAILY DEBATE 8
Don't Forget
Kansas and 18 other states are butting heads with the US Environmental Protection Agency, claiming they weren't given enough time to comply with the regulations effective this July.
"The legislature has been upset with environmental regulations, period, because they don't think they're necessary," Feddema said. "If you go back and look [at] why did we start the EPA in this country, it's to manage things like the Clean Air Act and the Water Act, which came out of really bad air pollution and water problems."
To file your taxes today Happy Tax Day!
While the legislature doesn't think these regulations are necessary, history has shown us otherwise, said Professor Johannes Feddema, chair of the geography department and affiliate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
"The reality is that the burden will be on some of these interest groups that currently are benefitting from the fact they don't have to pay for these emissions."
SHANNON O'LEAR Associate professor of environmental studies
Professor Shannon O'Lear, associate professor of geography and environmental studies, said regulations are necessary to reduce these emissions even though there are varying views on whether states have been given enough time to take the necessary steps.

Sophomore Brannen Greene will be sidelined for five months due to hip surgery, the Lawrence Journal-World reported after the Kansas basketball banquet on Monday. Greene won't be able to participate in the World University Games this summer with the rest of the team. The games will take place in Gwangji City, South Korea, from July 3-14.
Greene sidelined for five months for hip surgery
Kansas, along with 18 other states, sent a letter opposing regulations on greenhouse gas emissions from coal fire plants and other such industries to the EPA.

carbon emissions, there's going to have to be regulations," O'Lear said. "Chances are the industry isn't going to do it themselves without some kind of incentive."
The states said the EPA took longer than the governmental requirement allows to impose these regulations which burdens the consumer and the industry.
The Kansas Attorney General's office issued a press release April 8 stating that Attorney General Derek Schmidt, "along with 18 other Attorneys General, sent a letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy asking her to withdraw the proposed new Standards of Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from New Stationary Sources"
The states argue the "EPA will have missed the mandatory deadline by anywhere from six to eight months, thereby subjecting sources or proposed sources to at least 1.5 times the delay permitted." Regulations will burden the state and any businesses involved, according to the press release.
“[His hip] hurts, but that’s not the problem. The problem is it’s continuing to get worse.” Self said to the Journal-World. “He’s had [the problem] for years, and they’ve decided to get it corrected. He’ll be pain-free.”
"These interest groups are saying, 'The consumers are going to pay for this, we're going to have to close down some facilities before we can even open renewable energy plants and this is going to be a burden on the consumer,' and that's the way they're painted it," O'Lear said. "The reality is that
O'Lear said the reality is that interest groups will bear the burden, not the consumer.
Greene logged 15 minutes per game last season, recording 5.7 points per game on 42.2 percent shooting from three-point range. The sophomore was considered one of the best shooters in the nation by college basketball analysts, including ESPN's Fran Fraschilla.

Kansas will now be forced to choose players from other rosters because of certain player restrictions and Greene's injury to fill the roster.
During a six-game stretch last year, Greene posted 10.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, while shooting 17-of-24 (71 percent) from three point range. Over that stretch, the Jayhawks went 6-1, with their lone loss coming to Oklahoma State on the road.

College shooting possible hate crime
EMERY P. DALESIO MARTHA WAGGONER MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press
A former community college student dismissed from a work-study program for too many absences is accused of fatally shooting his former supervisor, who was gay, and police are investigating the campus slaying as a possible hate crime.
Kenneth Morgan Stancil III, 20, was arrested without incident early Tuesday while sleeping on a Florida beach, about 500 miles from Wayne Community College in Goldsboro, North Carolina. Stancil made his first court appearance later in the day, saying in a profanity-laced and unsubstantiated tirade that the man he killed had molested a relative.
Police say Stancil shot 44-year-old Ron Lane on Monday morning at the college. Lane, the school's print shop director, had been Stancils supervisor in a work-study program before Stancil was let go in early March. It wasn't clear how long they had worked together.
Police have not released a motive in the shooting. Stancil's mother told The Associated Press that Lane made sexually laced comments to her son.
"He was verbally inappropriate with Morgan at school. Very much verbally inappropriate," Debbie Stancil said. "He would tell him to stop and he kept on."
College spokeswoman Tara Humphries said she did not
know whether any complaints had been lodged against Lane. Classes were canceled Monday, but the school re-opened Tuesday.
"It's a day of healing. We will be paying personal tributes to Ron Lane," Humphries said
Debbie Stancil said she knows one of her relatives was not sexually abused by Lane, as Kenneth Stancil claimed in court, because the relative and Lane had rever met. She believes Kenneth Stancil is making the accusations because he is "rattled and confused."
"I don't agree with what he did, but in his mind he must have thought that was the only way," she said. "He's probably out of his mind. I think he needs mental help."
He never recovered from his father's suicide in 2009 and was angry about being dismissed from the college's print shop, she told AP.
Experts who track hate groups said Stancil's facial tattoo with the number "88" is a clear indication of a neo-Nazi — a group that has been accused of attacking gays. However, police have not said whether Stancil held white supremacist beliefs or what hate crime they are investigating.
Stancil entered the print shop on the third-floor of a campus building and fired once with a pistol-grip shotgun, police said. The shooting sparked a campus-wide lockdown and
Stancil's mother said he gave himself the facial tattoo over the weekend and it marked a wannabe rather than someone who expressed neo-Nazi views.
officers stormed the building looking for Stancil, who fled on a motorcycle.
"Mr. Stancil had a calculated plan," Goldsboro police Sgt. Jeremy Sboro said.
He left behind a six-page letter explaining his actions and a video, which have been turned over to police, his mother said.
GERRY BROOME/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Police found the motorcycle abandoned in a median on Interstate 95, about 80 miles south of Goldsboro. They are not sure how he got to Florida.
S
The manhunt lasted for nearly a day, ending with Stancil's arrest in Daytona Beach. He had a knife on him but was apprehended without incident. Police have not found the 12-gauge shotgun they believe was used to kill Lane.
A booking photo from Florida showed Stancil with the number "88" on his left cheek, a number used by racist extremists, said Brian Levin, a criminal justice professor and director of the Center for the Study of Hate & Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino. Because "H" is the eighth letter of the alphabet, 88 equates to HH or "Heil Hitler," Levin said.
A North Carolina State Highway patrolman walks the grounds on campus following a shooting at Wayne Community College in Goldsboro, N.C. Monday. One person was killed and the campus was locked down as authorities searched for a gunman, officials said.
"Those who get facial tattoos tend to be the uppermost, anti-social part of the scale," Levin said.
Goldsboro police and the Wayne County district attorney's office will work to have Stancil extradited to North Carolina to face a murder charge.
At his bond hearing, Stancil told the judge there is now "one less child molester."
"Doing time is the easy part.
know what I'm saying?" he said.
The judge denied bond and appointed a public defender. Lane's brother and sister declined to comment when reached by AP.
Stancil had no criminal record before the shooting. He was on the school's dean's list with a grade point average of 3.6 or better and due to graduate in July with a degree in welding technology, the school said.

"I guess from my point of view, he (Stancil) was angry over getting dismissed from his duties." Hood told The Associated Press. "He worked very well with Ron; he worked very well with my other employees."

In fact, Altmin said users and trips in these suburbs of Wichita and Kansas City are growing every week, and they just record in the previous weeks.
"Kansas City" is a broad term for the area that Uber covers, as it reaches out to cities like Shawnee, Overland Park, Lee's Summit, Lansing and more, according to Uber's map of reach.
Additionally, before the bill, Uber was looking to expand its services to Lawrence and Manhattan for the convenience of college students.
states. Altmin said.
When SB117 was presented, Altmin said the company supported the original draft; however, the amendments made to SB117 would make operations impossible to continue in the state of Kansas.
A provision to the bill was added that would require drivers to carry commercial insurance that's not currently required in any of the other 49
"The insurance companies and banks think they should require commercial insurance as soon as the app is turned on, while Uber believes it shouldn't start until someone is actually picked up," said Rep. Travis Couture-Lovelady (R-110).
Altmin said despite Uber recently becoming aligned with the insurance industry, this is separate from anything that companies are pushing.
"We want to save this transportation for people who use Uber to get home, to work or anywhere else. For drivers, these are jobs being taken away."
LAUREN ALTMIN
Uber spokesperson
Couture-Lovelady said he voted against the bill.
"I believe it stifles this exciting new business," Couture-Lovelady said. "[Uber] has a huge effect on young people that will decrease drinking and driving."
However, Couture-Lovelady said the bill does have some good things in it from Uber's perspective, such as limiting local governments' ability to further regulate the company beyond state law.
There is also a measure to require drivers with lions on their cars, an aspect of an auto loan, to pay for collision and comprehensive coverage.
Backing this collision insurance requirement is the Kansas Bankers Association (KBA).
"Our primary reason for supporting the bill is because we know that there are gaps in coverage that don't protect the collateral that banks have over the driver's cars," said Doug Wareham, executive vice president of government relations for KBA. "We support the language that ensures, whether it's Uber or a different transportation company, that when they sign up drivers, it's verified
that they have comp[enssation] and collision coverage for the vehicle in all three phases."
The phases are similar to what Couture-Lovelady described as far as the driver's process for picking up riders.
Phase one refers to a driver roaming for business, usually in popular areas like Kansas City's Power and Light District or near Kauffman Stadium. Phase two is when a driver has actually connected with someone and is in route to get them. Phase three is when the rider is in the car.
Wareham said as of right now, Uber only provides insurance policies for phases 2 and 3.
"Some people think that the driver's individual insurance covers phase one, when it doesn't. Wareham said. "What you have are drivers trolling for business, in a car that's acting as collateral for a bank or lender."
According to Wareham, this bill wouldn't just protect these banks and lenders, but drivers as well.
"If something were to happen to [the driver's] car in phase one, they'd be stuck without insurance and expected to pay back what they owe to their bank or lender," Wareham said.
Rep. Scott Schwab (R-49) led the amendment process when it came time for the conference committee stage. He could not be reached for comment.
The bill was enrolled and presented to Brownback on April 10 and he will either sign or vet it on April 29.
In an attempt to stop the bill, Uber launched a petition that now has over 6,000 signatures, about 1,500 short of their goal. "Support Uber" offers a letter to Brownback, asking him to veto the bill in order to save jobs, money and safe rides.
"We want to save this transportation for people who use Uber to get home, to work or anywhere else." Altmin said. "For drivers, these are jobs being taken away."

the burden will be on some of these interest groups that currently are benefiting from the fact they don't have to pay for these emissions."
According to the press release, comments from Kansas and other states in 2014 of why the rule was unlawful and where the EPA was wrong have never been addressed by the EPA. The letter insists that "[the regulations] must therefore be withdrawn."
O'Lear said while the pushback from states was to be expected, the EPA is just doing its job to protect the environment.
In 2009, California was granted a waiver to restrict carbon monoxide emissions more stricty than the EPA. California's ability to categorize this as pollutant frightened some of the industries because it allowed for more regulation, O'Lear said.
"There was a backlash by the American Legislative Exchange Council that worked to try and get the EPA's hands tied in a bunch of states after California," she said. "They tried to undermine national EPA operations. That's why it's hard when we paint this picture of the EPA wearing a white hat or a black hat and
the industry is wearing the other hat, it's so much messier than all that."
While the EPA is trying to regulate these emissions that change the atmosphere and how energy passes through it, Feddema said those opposing the regulations don't realize who it affects.
"Poor air quality is a cost shared by everyone in society, particularly the poor because of where they live which is sometimes where there are less than desirable conditions," Feddema said. "In a

sense the EPA is there to make sure the people that can't get away, essentially, are still getting good air quality."
"There's this whole idea called freedom, but my freedom to put a power plant in my backyard if I wanted would really hinder my neighbors' quality of life," he said. "There's always a tradeoff of who's benefitting and

Bird flu spreads to turkey flock in sixth state
DAVID PITT
Associated Press
Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa — A bird-flu strain that has already led to the deaths of nearly 2 million turkeys nationwide spread to an Iowa turkey farm, authorities said on Tuesday, bringing to six the number of states hit with the outbreak that was also confirmed at eight more farms in Minnesota.
The announcements on Tuesday came a day after confirmation of the first case of the virus in Wisconsin, the first case of a U.S. commercial chicken farm where the strain was detected, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Scientists believe domestic poultry are getting the highly-contagious H5N2 virus from wild migratory waterfowl but they are puzzled by the accelerating spread despite reinforced biosecurity measures at poultry production and processing facilities. The outbreak has prompted some 40 countries to impose import restrictions on U.S. poultry
The Iowa farm is in Buena Vista County housing some 27,000 turkeys, said Iowa Department of Agriculture spokesman Dustin Vande Hoef. The disease was suspected when an abnormally high number of turkeys began dying. The farm is under quarantine and the turkeys will be killed.
The confirmation at eight additional infected turkey farms in the nation's biggest producing state of Minnesota brings the state's total to 22 farms and nearly 1.5 million turkeys lost to the disease. Minnesota raises around 46 million turkeys a year. State Veterinarian Bill Hartmann said he expects more farms to be hit before the threat recedes.
Iowa have been infected.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture posted a notice on Monday that Canadian officials added Iowa to the list of states prohibited from exporting raw poultry products.
Animal health officials have long said the virus is dangerous to all commercial poultry. Iowa has 130 turkey farms raising 11 million turkeys a year. The state also is the nation's leading egg producer with more than 59 million egg layers but no chicken flocks in
"I think it is important to note there's no human health consequence to any of the previously found avian influenza outbreaks in the upper Midwest nor do we expect that here," said Randy Olson, Iowa Poultry Association's executive director.
JANET HOSTETTER/ASSOCIATED PRESS Turkeys are pictured at a turkey farm near Sauk Centre , Minn., on Nov. 2, 2005. A deadly strain of bird flu has reached the Midwest, killing or requiring hundreds of thousands of turkeys to be euthanized. Officials confirmed the disease had spread to Iowa as of Tuesday.
Iowa Turkey Federation executive Gretta Irwin said food is safe. No birds from infected farms make it into the food supply since they're destroyed and composted on the farm. Poultry is tested for influenza before it leaves the farm for slaughter, she said.
Commercial turkey flocks in Arkansas, Missouri, North Dakota and South Dakota have confirmed cases of the H5N2 strain in turkeys in addition to Iowa and Minnesota. Counting turkies killed by the disease and those destroyed or soon to be killed to stop its spread, about 1.8 million birds have been lost in the Midwest or approaching 1 percent of the 235 million turkeys produced in the U.S. last year.
Seven of the newly affected Minnesota farms are contract growers for or owned by Jennie-O Turkey Store, a division of Hormel Foods Corp, the company said. The virus has now hit 14 Jennie-O facilities, costing the company over 1.1 million turkeys.
The virus was confirmed in a commercial chicken flock in Wisconsin Monday, affecting 200,000 birds. Cases also have been found in commercial poultry flocks in Ontario and British Columbia in Canada.
Scientists haven't found hard evidence yet of the link to wild fowl. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Tom Landwehr said Tuesday that tests on fecal samples of wild birds his researchers have collected near infected farms have all come back negative so far.

POLITICIANS'RELIGION
PRO CON
Voters care about faith in government
Anrenee Reasor
@anreneer
I'm not religious, nor would I vote for or against a political candidate based on their proclaimed religion, but I do very much believe a candidate's faith matters. Ted Cruz, 2016 presidential candidate, released his TV ad, and the first scene shows his family praying at the dinner table.
Todd Gillman of the Dallas Morning News calls it an attempt to "nail down as much of the evangelical vote as possible, then build from that foundation." Indiana's "religious freedom" forced 2016 hopefuls to take a side, with many possible Republican contenders standing by the law. Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Rick Santorum and Ben Carson defended the bill, which allows businesses to refuse service to homosexuals, claiming it violates an individual's faith.
Religion clearly plays an important role. If today's political candidate seeks office, they must declare faith to the American people. Every single U.S. president has declared a religion. Once in office, their religious practices are still scrutinized. For example, every president since Eisenhower attended the National Prayer Breakfast. Imagine if President Barack Obama had not attended. Outrage would ensue.
Why does a candidate's religion matter? Liberals can point toward the conservative, evangelical base like the 2011 prayer rally led by then Gov. Rick Perry in Houston, sponsored by the American Family
Association (AFA). The AFA "opposes abortion and same-sex marriage and advocates for religious liberty," according to Anthea Butler's New York Times article. Butler argues how these events and organizations provide platforms for their candidates and "mailing lists of like-minded voters." But the conservative Republican crowd holds no monopoly over religion.
Democrats can look at Obama and Bill Clinton, both identifying as Christians. Part of me thinks Obama, Hillary Clinton and other liberals claim to be Christian because they know doing so would help their campaign, as Americans would not elect an agnostic or atheist. Another part of me believes the staunchest of conservatives adhere to their strict biblical beliefs in order to attract radical voters. It makes one wonder if anyone in politics is genuine with their beliefs.
Candidates know everything matters. From the cost of the labels they wear, the location of their fundraisers, when their biographical books come out, who they accept campaign donations from (and how much), the staff they choose to run their campaign — everything matters. Nothing is left to chance.
How can we believe a candidate's religious choices, like where they go to church, how often, and with whom, do not matter? They clearly do. Remember when people accused Obama of being Muslim, as if there was something wrong with being Muslim? Religion still matters to Americans. Perhaps someday America will elect an atheist president, but I am not holding my breath for a few decades. Religion still matters in politics.
Politicians' religious views are irrelevant
Anrenee Reasor is a senior from Thayer studying economics and East Asian Languages and Cultures
John Olson
@JohnOlsonUDK
Many ill-informed citizens think that President Obama is Muslim, even though he is not. Nevertheless, even if President Obama were Muslim, it simply would not matter. In my view, any change in his religious identity would not change his effectiveness as a leader. The fact of the matter is, Barack Obama is a politician, and that is all you need to know to decide where he stands.
WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY POLITICIAN'S RELIGION IS FROM WHAT SOURCES THEY GATHER THEIR POLITICAL CAPITAL."
Politicians cater to whatever audiences hold the most political capital for them. Once elected, they pursue policies that appeal to their base and donors to accumulate more and more political capital in order to be reelected, according to organization behavioral psychologist Jeremiah Stanghini. After all, being involved in the political process is their career, and they will do whatever feels necessary to maintain or advance their position.
Ultimately, it is the political climate that has the most bearing. Politicians will vote a certain way one day, then
vote completely differently the next if it becomes politically profitable. A great case study of this would be the recent controversy surrounding the Indiana law that effectively legalized discrimination against the LGBT population. The law initially passed with ease, but once a nationwide uproar ensured, Indiana legislators suddenly changed their tune and amended the statute. Social policy is not reflective of a politician's faith, but of who gave them power, according to economist Russell Sobel. For instance, if social conservatives made up the majority that elected Governor Sam Brownback — which they did — then Brownback would pursue policies appealing to social conservatives, as he has. The root of the issue is that a politician's religion does not matter, and given how politicians make choices, it should not matter.
What matters is the climate of opinion. As economist Milton Friedman once remarked, we do not need to change the makeup of legislatures in order to improve policy. Even if you had all the "right people" in charge at this very moment, there is no way to guarantee that they will be there several election cycles from now. If it is politically expedient for the wrong people to do the wrong things, then the key is, in the words of Friedman, "to make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right things."
Perhaps that begins with ignoring what religion, or lack thereof, a politician claims. What is more important than any politician's religion is from what sources they gather their political capital. If it is from an informed populace that votes for productive solutions rather than how a politician chooses to define God, then perhaps fewer problems will arise come lawmaking season.

LGBT discrimination reverses progress
Maddy Mikinski
@Miss_Maddy
As students, we're taught to look back on the failings of the past and learn from them. We learn about the horror of the Holocaust and about Martin Luther King, Jr.'s fight for equality. Discriminating against someone based on their religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation is an antiquated practice that belongs
in our history books, not the 21st century.
Recently, the Florida House passed a bill allowing private adoption agencies to refuse gay couples from adopting based on the agencies "religious or moral grounds." Florida's approval is on the tail of a law passed by the state of Indiana that allows businesses to refuse service to gay customers, the Indy Star reports. This Indiana law was passed only a few months after Gov. Sam Brownback rescinded an order that prevented state employees from being discriminated against based on their gender identity and sexual orientation. To say the least, 2015 has not been a good year for
equality. The Indiana law was met with great opposition from celebrities, large corporations and other politicians, according to the Human Rights Campaign.
These laws are repeating the past. They regress us to a time before equality was a main priority. This is vaguely reminiscent of the "white only" and "no Irish" signs we see in history books. That is exactly where this kind of legislation belongs.
If Florida's adoption law makes its way through the state's senate, it could take away many children's chance at a happy home and a strong childhood. In Indiuna, a gay individual could walk into a business and be refused
"DISCRIMINATING AGAINST SOMEONE BASED ON THEIR RELIGION, ETHNICITY OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION IS AN ANTIQUATED PRACTICE THAT BELONGS IN OUR HISTORY BOOKS, NOT THE 21ST CENTURY."
service based on a personal aspect that doesn't affect the business owner in any way. Here in Kansas, state employees can lose their jobs on account of how they live their life.
As this year progresses, we need more people to remind lawmakers that we can't repeat the past. We must move out of this rut and create laws that protect the rights of all Americans.

MISSION BUILDING
The Orange County Government Center is seen in Goshen, N.Y., on April 2. The long, heated debate over suburban Orange County's government center could finally be ending with renovations next month that would trade in stack-of-asymmetric-concrete-boxes look for a sleeker, more anonymous facade. Critics compare the plan to desecrating a Michelangelo and note the building is on the World Monuments Fund's global watch list. Others say the building is simply ugly and poorly designed.

Modernist gem or eyesore? NYC building again stirs debate
MICHAEL HILL
WESTERN PARK, CO.
Associated Press
GOSHEN, N.Y. — From the time it was built in this quaint village 45 years ago, the county building has stirred strong opinions for its modernism-meets-Mayberry look: a geometric jumble of irregularly stacked concrete-and-glass boxes.
While the Orange County Government Center has been hailed by architectural experts as a modernist treasure, many residents have viewed it as just an odd, ugly place to apply for a driver's license.
As crews prepare to renovate and partially demolish the sprawling building in this suburban and rural county 50 miles northwest of Manhattan, local preservationists are fighting in court to halt a project they say will permanently disfigure the landmark.
Arnie Weintraub poses on April 2 in Goshen, N.Y. Weintraub, a resident, said the new Orange County's government center is "a horrible-looking building." The long, heated debate over suburban government center could finally be ending with renovations next month that would trade in stack-of-asymmetric-concrete-boxes look for a sleeker, more anonymous facade.
Many locals have more mixed feelings.
"From the outside, it's a horrible-looking building," said resident Arnie Weintraub.
"It doesn't fit the right look of our village, or town, or area," added Brian Dunley, as he worked on a bike at his Joe Fix Its shop. "It's here. Should it be? I don't think so. But it's here."
The building was designed by the late architect Paul Rudolph,
MIKE GROLL/ASSOCIATED PRESS
"At the time that
GENE KAUFMAN New York City architect
Michelangelo and Da Vinci were painting there were a lot of other painters who had greater favor among people. It took a while."
But complaints about maintaining the building, completed in 1970, predated the storm: Those big windows letting in light also let in too much cold; the roof — which looks like a three-dimensional checkerboard — leaks. County executive Steven Neuhaus
The building was closed in September 2011 after it was damaged by the remnants of Hurricane Irene, forcing county operations to other buildings.
a celebrated figure of mid-20th century style that came to be known as brutalism. (The name is not derived from the word "brutal," as many assume, but from the French term for raw concrete.) Though considered a genius, Rudolph hasn't always been appreciated by a public that sees cold-looking concrete instead of elegant interplay between light and space.
recalls buckets placed around the building 25 years ago when he applied for his driver's license.
County officials settled on a compromise plan to replace one of the three sections to give the front entrance a more generic, glassy municipal look. The other two sections would be taken down to their concrete skeletons and built back up the shape of the original building, with some functional changes such as a simpler roof line.
With the threat of demolition looming a few years ago, the World Monuments Fund put it on its 2012 global watch list.
"You're going to still look at this building and see Rudolph's touch in it," Neuhaus said.
Preservationists are especially galled because New York City architect Gene Kaufman offered to buy the building, turn it into an artists' center and build a new government building nearby in a deal he said would save the county money. Kaufman said Rudolph's building reflects a time when people had more faith in government. And he believes the architect's reputation will rebound.
"At the time that Michelangelo and Dai Vinci were painting there were a lot of other painters who had greater favor among people. It took a while," Kaufman said. "So I think that the notion that

It would be "a Frankenstein's monster," New York Times architecture critic Michael Kimmelman wrote this year in urging county lawmakers to block the plan. The National Trust for Historic Preservation described the plan as "drastic."
Brian Dunlevy poses at loe Fix its cycle shop on April 2 in Goshen, N.Y. Dunlevy, a resident, said Orange County's new government center "doesn't fit the right look of our village, or town, or area." Renovations to the center will begin next month to make the building more appealing to citizens. Critics compare the plan to desecrating a Michelangelo and note the building is on the World Monuments Fund's global watch list. Others say the building is simply ugly and poorly designed.
today we may not like it, so let's destroy it and no one can have it, ever, is a very sort of selfish kind of opinion because it assumes not only that you're right, but that you'll always be right."
Neuhaus vetoed legislation that would have allowed the sale to Kaufman amid opposition from village officials. Neuhaus and Goshen Mayor Kyle Roddey said it was important to consolidate government agencies in a functional building as soon as possible after many delays. Roddey said the village businesses have been hurting since the building closures.
"People can throw critiques and criticize us from New York and California, but they haven't been in the mom-and-pop shops that are potentially
closing down," Roddey said.
There also are locals like Vincent Ferri, who learned to appreciate the different ways light streamed through the Rudolph building's big windows as seasons changed. He is among three plaintiffs in a lawsuit seeking a halt the renovation. A judge hearing their arguments Friday set a May 15 due date for papers arguing for and against a preliminary injunction. Meanwhile, no demolition will occur before July.
The county said it will start removing asbestos from the building and seek dismissal of the suit.
"Until the wrecking ball swings," Ferri said, "the building can be saved."
Ferri remained optimistic.

Restaurant review: Prime Blu Sushi House
Adam Swerdlow
@AdamSwerdlow
Prime Blu
Sushi House
BY WASABI
Anybody who personally knows me is aware of my interest for Japanese culture and specifically sushi — my favorite food (with pizza as a close second). When I was told of a new sushi place in town, I knew I had to review it. This new restaurant is called Prime Blu, located at 619 Massachusetts St. Living in a landlocked state about 1,400 miles from the closest ocean, it's hard to have high expectations for fresh fish. But I like sushi far too much to allow this fact to hinder my mission.
I decided to check out Prime Blu with two of my friends from my Japanese class. Entering the restaurant, we were surprised by the sheer amount of space and ultra neon ambiance. Prime Blu makes impressive work of the great space they have. There is a large square drink bar, a small sushi bar and several booths and tables. Aside from the essentials, there are large fish tanks, colorful Japanese pop art, and upbeat music accentuates the atmosphere.
Prime Blu, a new sushi restaurant located at 619 Massachusetts St., opened March 18. Arts & Features writer Adam Swerdlow went downtown to try out the food, finding his overall experience at the restaurant positive.
Prime Blu's menu is about what you'd expect from a sushi restaurant. You have a myriad of choices from appetizers to sushi rolls, with an impressive drink menu and everything in between. While I enjoy most Japanese, I was there for the sushi.
As a group we decided to order individually but share any sushi we ordered.
I ordered the Tropical Roll (shrimp tempura, crab, avocado roll topped with tuna and avocado) and the Big Boss Roll (crab, avocado, cream cheese, 3 kinds of fish tempura roll). One friend ordered the Red Flash Roll (Spicy tuna roll with jalapeo topped with deep fried red snapper) and the Spicy Salmon Roll, while the other ordered the Crazy Crab Roll (crab, avocado,
cream cheese topped with crunchies). Most rolls are priced from $9 to $14. If you know sushi, you can ascertain from our order that this is not a traditional sushi restaurant but, as a whole, the sushi was delicious.
A common gripe I have with many sushi restaurants is when they roll their sushi with too much rice. I was pleasantly surprised to see Prime Blu avoid this mistake. Each impressively large roll had an ideal fish to rice ratio and was neatly presented. Of the sushi we tried, the Tropical, Big Boss and Crazy Crab rolls were my favorite.
UUUUUUUUUU
Overall, my experience at Prime Blu was great. While the time we were there it was pretty empty, I look forward to returning soon and checking it out at a more bumpin' time. Prime Blu is open from 11:30 to 10 Monday through Wednesday and 11:30 to 11 Thursday through Saturday. And Sunday from noon to 9:30.

Pink, seen here with her daughter Willow, posted a tweet recently about her alleged weight gain, saying she is happy with her "healthy, voluptuous and crazy strong body." The singer received positive feedback after the tweet from Twitter users and news outlets alike.

Several media outlets criticized Pink for apparent weight gain after she was photographed attending a benefit for a friend's "stellar contributions to the eradication of cancer." She commented that "unfortunately" her weight was more important to those criticizing her, and said in fact, she feels beautiful.
People are raving about Pink all over the web. Cosmopolitan magazine also praised her, saying she "slams body-shaming haters in the BEST way possible."
Many fans tweeted in support of the artist and her message, such as @melissagpps, who called Pink's comments "nicely said."
Pink's comments contribute to an ongoing movement toward body acceptance and encouraging people women, primarily to love themselves and their bodies as they are.
Many companies have picked up on this trend, particularly Dove. Since 2004, part of Dove's marketing has focused on redefining beauty. In its current campaign, Choose Beautiful, the company determined only 11 percent of girls worldwide are comfortable describing themselves as "beautiful."
On Tuesday, the hashtag #ToTheGirls was also trending on Twitter, full of messages intended to support, encourage and inspire young girls to be individuals and to love and respect themselves.
Dove's website offers resources for parents, teachers and mentors to educate kids on self-esteem, bullying, body image, relationships and more. It's all part of its broader mission to "help the next generation of women develop a positive relationship with the way they look — helping them raise their self-esteem and realize their full potential."
Pink appears to be trying to instill a positive body image in her 3-year-old daughter, Willow. Shortly after her first message of self-acceptance, she tweeted, "Willow said to me the other day whilst grabbing my belly-"mama-why r u so squishy?"And I said."b/cuz I'm happy baby [sic]"

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who will replace Ike Opara on Sporting KC?
Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes
KEVIN ELLIS
With all their defensive options in the midfield, it seems that the loss of a center back should not be the end of the world for Sporting KC, which has only given up six goals in their six games.
But Ike Opara has been more than just a center back to the Sporting KC defense. After suffering an injury to his right ankle that nearly cost him his entire last season, Opara returned this year at full form. He has already scored twice, playing every minute of every game. He made several crucial tackles in the Sporting KC defensive third, and proved that he was a force to be reckoned with on Sporting KC's incredibly successful offensive set piece unit.
Replacing a player like that is no small task. Opara's impact was offensive and defensive; in the air and on the ground. After Opara ruptured his Achilles tendon during a 0-0 draw against RSL, the question immediately became "Who can take his place?"
The simple answer is, as a coaching staff, Sporting KC has to be able to trust the powerhouses in their defensive midfield — Roger Espinoza and Benny Feilhaber. Nobody can replace Opara's vertical threat, but there are options on Sporting KC's bench that would fill his void on defense.
The most dynamic of these options is 23-year-old defender Kevin Ellis. He's had just two years of experience in the United States' top flight, but has proven that he is athletic and quick. The defense would be giving up a lot of size — going from the 6-foot-2 Opara to the 5-foot-9 Ellis — but Ellis is faster and a little bit quicker.
KC will have to change its strategy in the defensive midfield, because Kevin Ellis can't lock down one side of the field the way Opara could. Espinoza will have to
"KC WILL HAVE TO CHANGE ITS STRATEGY IN THE DEFENSIVE MIDFIELD, BECAUSE KEVIN ELLIS CAN'T LOCK DOWN ONE SIDE OF THE FIELD THE WAY OPARA COULD."
accept a more defensive role, as he'll have to track back quicker and even drop to a defensive position. We saw in their last match against Salt Lake, Servando Carrasco dropped to a near center back position, so when the KC defense set up, it was essentially a five-in-the-back formation.
This will have to become a lot more prevalent when Sporting KC tries to defend against the top offensive teams in the country in the coming months, like Seattle, Vancouver and Toronto. Without Ike Opara, it will be difficult for the midfield to push up, but Kevin Ellis would fit the void well enough to allow the midfield to have some movement.

CHANCE MYERS
Sporting Kansas City right back Chance Myers hasn't played in a live soccer game since May 23, 2014. In that Friday game against Toronto E.C. at Sporting Park, Myers, then 26 years old, tore his Achilles tendon in the first half of that game.
"IF MYERS CAN GET BACK, IT'LL GIVE VERMES PLENTY OF OPTIONS FOR CENTER BACK, BUT THE BEST OPTION LIKELY ISN'T IN KANSAS CITY YET."
getting back to joining his team. Now, with center back Ike Opara likely done for the season after rupturing his Achilles tendon, the team may need to rush him back sooner, than planned.
Since then, he's rehabbed on the pitch, off the pitch, and he's only weeks from
Of course, Myers, who is wholeheartedly a full-back, wouldn't fill the Opara role directly. But, he would give Vermes an extra body in filling that Opara role, and manager Peter Vermes is going to need the extra bodies until the transfer window opens up in June.
The team has Erik Palmer-Brown, the standout teen from Kansas City. While he's been solid in his time on the pitch with Sporting KC, he's not a guy who will play 90 minutes week in and week out. It's important to remember that he's not even 18 years old yet; he can't man an MLS starting gig. There's also Kevin Ellis, who plays best in the center, but he's only seen as a plug, and always has been.
On Monday, Vermes said current right back Jalil Anibaba, who joined the team this offseason, could be pushed inside. He played the position in Seattle, and really can be a plug at any
position on the back-line. But, that's not going to be the most optimal option, because Anibaba has been very good on the right side thus far, and best fits there.
If Myers can get back, itll give Vermes plenty of options for center back, but the best option likely isn't in Kansas City yet. Vermes said at training on Tuesday that the team will "have to" look to replace Opara elsewhere.
The best option for Vermes is to stall until the transfer window opens up this summer. But Vermes can do his best stalling with Myers healthy, as it would give Vermes three options — Anibaba, Ellis or Palmer-Brown — to rotate in at center back. That'll allow Vermes to decide if any of those three are the right guy.
Myers should be expected to return to the pitch anytime in May. He practiced with the team on the practice pitch for the first time in his rehab process on Monday, and Vermes said he "looked good". As he does more on the practice pitch, it'll give Vermes more options as to what he can do with Opara's open spot.

Jayhawks look to avenge early season loss to Bears
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
Coming off a series win against No. 9 Oklahoma State over the weekend, the Kansas baseball team will challenge Missouri State on Wednesday for the second time this season. The teams met in Springfield, Mo., this March.
The Jayhawks had a great showing this weekend when they recovered from a loss in the first game against the Cowboys. Kansas took
the series with the final two victories. While the story of the season focused on the Jayhawks' offense, the team's pitching received praise for their role in the series victory as well, holding the Cowboys to just two runs in both of the Jayhawks' wins.
"We are just trying to get better," coach Ritch Price said. "Our pitching has gotten better, and if you look at the pitching numbers and stats, you see that they aren't very good, and as a result of that
this was a huge step forward for our pitching this weekend."
The Jayhawks' (15-21) stellar pitching over the weekend is needed on Wednesday since the previous meeting against the Bears (24-8) ended in a 15-9 loss.
Pitching posed a problem for the Jayhawks in Springfield as the Bears' defense dominated the fourth through sixth innings.
During the teams' matchup in March, the Jayhawks struck first with three runs in the first inning with two RBIs by senior Blair Beck. The Jayhawks held an 8-4 lead going into the bottom of the fourth, looking like the controlling force in the
The Bears scored 11 runs throughout the three innings and resulted in three pitching changes for the Jayhawks.
game.
The game saw a total of eight different Jayhawks on the mound.
Ballpark. The Jayhawks have made major strides since the previous meeting. Kansas averaged three pitchers during the series against Oklahoma State, including a seven-inning showing from senior Drew Morovick with five strikeouts.
A similar occurrence is unlikely to happen in Wednesday's game at Hoglund
"I do feel like we're starting to get better starts from our guys." Price said. "It's weekby-week, it isn't just going to happen overnight which is what we've been preaching when you got so many new young guys pitching in starting
roles."
The Jayhawks will look to their pitching development since the teams' previous meeting to avenge the loss and even up the two-game series. Sophomore Sean Rackoski will start on the bump for the Jayhawks with first pitch scheduled for 6 p.m. at Hoglund Ballpark.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Larry Doby led the Majors with 32 home runs in 1952, becoming the first African American to do so.
baseball-reference.com
Q: What year was Doby's number 14 retired by the Indians?
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
A:1994
THE MORNING BREW
- baseballhall.org
Larry Doby should be honored like Jackie Robinson
Matthew Corte
@MattCorte7
On this date 68 years ago, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in the MLB by playing his first game for the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field. Today, Robinson is still immortalized by every MLB franchise, his number hanging next to the other members of each teams' Hall of Fame, and youd be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn't at least heard his name.
What about the name Larry Doby
though?
The second African American to break the color barrier in professional baseball, Doby made his major league debut less than three months after Robinson, on July 5, 1947, for the Cleveland Indians. So why is this pioneer often forgotten not only by baseball fans, but by our society?
While his number is retired by the Indians, you won't find a day where every MLB player dons Doby's number 14 like they do with Jackie's 42. Robinson's struggle to make teams respect him as a baseball player was well documented, as racial biases followed him to every visitor ballpark, as well as his own. But were Doby's struggles not the same?
He was forced to eat in different restaurants than his teammates, sleep in different hotels and faced the same racial slurs often shouted by fans that Robinson did. The only difference with Doby is that he received far less media attention than Robinson.
For this, Doby has almost been lost in the annals of baseball, but in reality, he's arguably a superior player to Robinson.
During his career, Doby led the majors in home runs twice, in RBIs
once, was a seven-time All-Star and became the first African American to win a World Series, along with teammate Satchel Paige. He also went on to become the second African-American manager in baseball history, three years after Frank Robinson did so.
In comparison, Robinson was a six-time All-Star, two-time stolen base champion, one-time batting champion and became the first African American to win an MVP award.
However, the point of this article isn't to debate whether one was better than the other, but rather celebrate how both of their careers made owners, coaches and players aware that African Americans were just as good as their white counterparts.
For these reasons, it's my belief that
BREW
Doby should be honored the same way that Robinson is. The MLB should retire the number 14 throughout baseball, and on July 5 of every year, proudly wear Doby's 14 like they do. Robinson's 42 on April 15. It didn't take just one
man, albeit an amazing one, to break the color barrier in baseball, and Doby is a testament to that. So when you see your favorite team wearing the number 42 tomorrow, don't just think about how Robinson broke the color barrier. Celebrate how both Doby and Robinson accomplished this feat together.

BASEBALL Jayhawks look to avenge early season loss to Bears | PAGE 9
COMMENTARY Perry Ellis made right decision with return
Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein
Perry Ellis returning for his senior season was the right decision. Ellis finished his junior season at Kansas in the round of 32 for the second straight season.
If Ellis can improve his play and lead the Jayhawks into a deeper March run next season, his draft stock will likely improve. Ellis is the third Jayhawk listed on CBS' top 100 draft prospects. Former teammates and Jayhawks Kelly Oubre Jr. and Cliff Alexander come into the list ranked 10th and 30th respectively.
Ellis has averaged 10.9 points per game over his three-year career, including 5.8 rebounds per game as well. Ellis improved his scoring total all three years at Kansas, but shot a career low from the field this past season.
The forward from Wichita has been a part of the consecutive Big 12 regular season championships but has not advanced past the Sweet 16. According to CBSports.com, Ellis was the 71st best prospect in this year's upcoming NBA draft.
Ellis announced that he will play for Kansas' next season at this year's basketball awards banquet Monday night. Barring injury, Ellis' play is expected to only improve over another season's time.
During his senior season, Ellis will likely improve his numbers across the board and improve his stock similarly to former Jayhawk Jeff Withey his senior year.
Edited by Garrett Long
Next April, Ellis will prepare for the next step of his career. For now, he will focus on capturing an eighth straight title to add to his resume and more post-season success. Things will only get better for Ellis from here.
While regular season success is commendable, you can bet Ellis is still yearning for more March success. He has seen former high school teammates in the Final Four; maybe his senior season will finally be his turn.
Like Ellis, Withey's scoring average increased every year he played at Kansas and reached a pinnacle his senior year when he averaged 13.7 points.
Ellis also has unfinished business to attend to as a Jayhawk. In high school, Ellis was a four-time state champion. With three straight Big 12 titles, he will be going for eight championships in eight seasons.
Withey's numbers improved all around in his senior season, including blocks (146), assists (35) and rebounds per game (8.5). Withey was drafted 39th overall by the Portland Trail Blazers. The center currently plays for the New Orleans Pelicans, averaging 7.0 minutes per game.
Ellis' current draft stock does not bode well for him. If he were to declare for the draft, he would be a late second-round pick, if drafted at all. Posting a solid senior season can only improve his position for next year.

Jayhawks begin annual Kansas Relays today
@gjmelia
G. J MELIA
The 88th annual Kansas Relays are set to begin today at 10 a.m. with the decathlon 100 meters. The majority of the day will include decathlon and heptathlon events in both the college open and the quadrangular.
The college open meet features athletes from multiple Midwest schools, while the quadrangular will feature Kansas, Kansas State, Purdue and Colorado State.
Kansas Relays is a four-day meet, as compared to a smaller one-to-two day event. Head coach Stanley Redwine said that it gives the multi-event athletes a better opportunity to compete. He also said the Relays are similar to the Big 12 and
Thursday will be the start of track and field events for the college open, along with a continuation of the decathlon and heptathlon events. Friday is the first day of Kansas high school competition, with college open events intertwined throughout the day.
Kansas Relays is the first of two home meets for the jayhawks this outdoor season. The next will be the Rock Chalk Classic on May 2, Kansas' last regular season meet before the Big 12
"I think it is great preparation for the end of the season," Redwine said. "So this is the first time we are going to be able to start preparing ourselves and looking at it from that perspective."

Both Redwine and junior distance runner Hannah Richardson said they prepare for the Relays like any other meet, but realize that it is one of the biggest meets of the season.

"I try to treat each race the same and focus just the same, but it's just really nice when you win on your own track," Richardson said. "And
it also brings another level of comfort because we train on [Rock Chalk Park] so much. So to get to race on it, it's just more fun than anything."
Richardson is coming off of two straight weeks with wins in the 1,500 meters, including a personal record last week in the John McDonnell Invitational. Richardson will not be running the 1,500 meters this weekend, but will be anchoring the distance medley relay and competing in the 800 meters.
Senior hurdler Michael Stigler with be running in the 400 meter hurdles for the first time since the Texas Relays, posted a time of 48.44 seconds. That record-breaking mark was Stigler's personal best, a school record and the world-leading time for the event this season.
He was later named National Athlete of the Week by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association for the performance. Stigler is coming off of first-place finishes in both the 110 meter hurdles and the 4x400 relay in Fayetteville, Ark., over the weekend.
Beginning at 6 p.m. Friday will be the invitational shot put competition in downtown Lawrence. This event will feature some of the top shot putters in the United States.
Saturday is the final day of the Relays, and will include the entirety of the quadrangular. It will also entail the final events of Kansas high school and college open competition.

The streak began during Langford's senior season, in which he earned All-Big 12 Second Team honors while averaging 14.4 points per game.

While never really breaking out as a star, Reed was a fixture of a Kansas team that started 18-0, winning six games by 30-or-more points. Reed's ability to stretch the floor with his shooting made him one of the more dangerous Jayhawks. While he may have been a little smaller than a typical two or three, he certainly didn't lack heart. Reed would exit the University as the all-time winningest player in Kansas history.

Bill may allow campus religious groups to restrict membership
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
On-campus religious organizations would be able to limit membership to those who share the same beliefs and restrict individuals who do not if a bill that passed the Kansas Senate last month is passed by the House.
Senate Bill 175 has raised concerns of whether this opens up the doors for legal discrimination and whether these groups have the right to be publicly funded. Senator David Haley (D-Wyandotte) voted against this and offered a written explanation of vote for the Senate Journal, which reads in part:
"Shouldn't an organization on a campus of higher learning be a place to affiliate, to learn, to affirm... or even to change? [...] SB 175 codifies certain tenets of discrimination that should never be considered in any civil state legislature."
Daniel Gewirtz, a sophomore from Northbrook, Ill., is an intern at KU Hillel, a Jewish student organization. He works with the "Ask Big Questions" program, which works to facilitate communication. He said he believes this bill would hinder any future growth.
The bill was pushed through to the House floor and may be heard by the full House when session reconvenes April 29. Senator Steven Fitzgerald (R-Leavenworth) carried and proposed the bill in the Senate and said he can't see why this bill wouldn't pass in the House.
"It's nice to enlighten other people who aren't Jewish to see what we do," Gwirtz said. "To reject someone from joining Hillel is wrong and is not what Hillel is about."
"It should pass; there's no reason why it shouldn't," he said. "I think this is a meat-and-patatoes-type bill. We're seeing things happen in other states that are concerning violating the rights of students

in opposition to the groups doctrine. He was banned from leading the group. He then filed a complaint. Although this eventually fizzled out, it is one of the issues Fitzgerald said he wants to avoid on other Kansas campuses.

"This [prevents] the universities from requiring that such groups admit or allow a leadership post by those that don't agree with the tenets of the group," Fitzgerald said. "It's a matter of protecting the group in that way."
Haley argued the opposite, saying this bill allows for discrimination and is a step in the wrong direction.
"This likens back to the darker days of our country where discrimination was a matter of rule of law," Haley said. "Anyone can profess to be a member of a faith, but a club could say we don't accept beginning members of whatever faith."

Watkins to offer improved health care plan this fall
RACHEL AUERBACH
@RachelA_UDK
A new student health care plan will be implemented this fall, and some significant changes are being made to the one currently in place. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has new requirements that allow students to receive more benefits than they have in previous years through the plan.
The premiums on the UnitedHealthcare StudentResources - Kansas Board of Regents Student Health Insurance plan are much lower than private insurance plans, but the plan still aligns with the ACA.
This new plan has been developing over the past year, and Watkins Memorial Health Center has been working to provide students with the best coverage that aligns with the ACA. Diana Malott, associate director at Watkins, said this new plan offers additional protection for students in comparison to previous years, like coverage of additional immunizations because of the ACA.
"The level of benefits here at the health center are very good. Most services are covered at 100 percent
DIANA MALOTT
Associate director
at Watkins
The ACA's health care plan covers essential medical treatment, including ambulatory patient services, emergency services, hospitalization, pregnancy, maternity and newborn care and "rehabilitative and habititative services and devices" according to the government website.
TAKEAWAYS
The new health care plan provides more benefits and additional protection for students.
Watkins Health Center now covers most services fully, with few exceptions.
Students can receive health care on this plan from out-of-state and out-of-country facilities.
"The level of benefits here at the health center are very good," Malott said. "Most services are covered at 100 percent. If a student has an office visit with a provider, or if students have procedures done, those are covered fully here."
When seeking treatment at other facilities in the community, the insurance usually covers 80 percent; students would be responsible for the other 20 percent.
The health center still does not cover co-pays, but instead bills the fee to the student if they do not have cash at the time of the transaction. Lab services have a $5 co-pay per test, but insurance covers the rest of that test.
"There is no upper limit on the benefits, which went into effect last year," Malott said. "There have been some additional things that have been added into the preventive care for coverage, like some additional immunizations."
"Annually this year, because
our claims last year were very good, the cost has actually gone down from $1,487 to $1,407," Malott said. "If you calculate that over a 12-month period, it's about $120 a month."
Malett explains that this rate has more benefits for the price point in comparison to cheaper exchanges or exchanges through the internet.
International students can often struggle with finding cost-effective plans while here at the University, but many outside plans don't cover a lot of what they really need.
"I had to get the health insurance, even though I am covered by my home university. I found it to be too expensive," said Rosie Pike, an exchange student from England. "I'm used to getting universal free health care. So, for all I know, it could be a good policy, but I still get charged a lot for basic services."
A similar amount of people signed up for this plan in previous years — between 3,000 and 4,000, according to Malott. The plan typically reaches around 3,000 people on the Lawrence campus, and another 700 or 800 for the KU Medical Center campus. The enrollment number changes because students have the
Malott said the International Services Office is working with international students to improve the offered health care plans at the University.
"If the student brings in a new plan and doesn't take ours, [the International Services Office] makes sure it meets those requirements," Malott said.

Discovery in KU lab may help cancer patients
KATHERINE HARTLEY
@kat_hart9
University Pharmacy Professor Jennifer Laurence and her team of undergraduate and graduate students have been working for the past nine years on an accidental discovery they made that could potentially help lessen the harsh side effects of cancer treatments.
"This project was sort of a fortuitous accident when it began," Laurence said. "We were working on trying to study a protein to understand its role in cancer, and in making that molecule and trying to analyze it, we discovered that something would shut it off after we made it. So in trying to figure out how to do that research project, we actually had to solve this other problem, and that became the basis for this very new innovation."
The innovation itself is a piece of protein that is three amino acids long and has the unique capability of binding to metals.
That small piece of protein also binds to other metals, which can be helpful in imaging, an approach to lighting up tumors.
When it comes to treating cancer, metals are very useful and therapeutic. Platinum is used in a number of drugs to treat cancer, and the goal of Laurence's lab was to use their discovery to deliver that platinum directly to the cancer cells.
"Doctors can see what's happening to the patient, what their disease state is and how they may be responding to therapy, regardless of what type," Laurence said. "We can use that with imaging metals in order to light up tumors and to detect them and determine if there's a change."
The new innovation will target tumors and cancer tissues directly and separately instead of also killing healthy tissue, which is how chemotherapy now works. This prevents the terrible side effects of the treatment.
Laurence's team consists of undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral students who do the research part, while her biotechnology company, Echogen, helps with the funding and patent part of the process. Echogen will also be the team that creates a real product that can be taken to clinics and used on patients.
"This is what we would call personalized medicine," Laurence said. "So you're heading towards the goal of treating a patient effectively with a much more gentle approach to give them a better quality of life and a better experience as a patient."
"Echogen is responsible for trying to commercialize this," Laurence said. "So taking the base discovery from the University of Kansas, Echogen licensed the patents that are filed and is pursuing lead products to be able to take these into the clinic and have an impact on patients. So the progression is a team of people here at the University of Kansas that were involved in the discovery and the early stage research to support knowing that this had value and then the company's role is to actually take that to make products and move forward." Last Thursday, Laurence's discovery was featured on "Cancer in KC," a special that aired on KCPT and demonstrated the current goings-on, innovations and new discoveries in the region's cancer research field.

For those studying abroad or planning on traveling, the new plan will continue to provide health insurance while off campus, even though the amount of on-campus services provided at Watkins is higher.

Although the benefits offered by Watkins are similar to past years', the additional benefits required by the ACA can help students in need of cost-effective health care. Watkins makes sure it provides the level of benefits mandated by the ACA so the plan offers additional protection for students.

Former NFL star tight end Aaron Hernandez convicted of murder in shooting, sentenced to life
Ursula Ward, mother of the victim, Odin Lloyd, speaks to the media after former New England Patriots football player Aaron Hernandez was convicted in his murder trial at the Bristol County Superior Court in Fall River, Mass.
FALL RIVER, Mass. — Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison Wednesday for a deadly late-night shooting, sealing the downfall of an athlete who once had a $40 million contract and a standout career ahead of him.
Hernandez, 25, who had been considered one of the top tight ends in professional football, shook his head, pursed his lips and sat down after the jury forewoman pronounced him guilty in the slaying of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old landscaper and amateur weekend football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.
his fiancée, Shayanna Jenkins, cried and gasped when they heard the verdict. Hernandez, his eyes red, mouthed to them. "Be strong. Be strong." Lloyd's mother also cried.
Hernandez's mother, Terri, and

The bill would limit the opportunity of students to diversify, Gewirtz said.
"College is an opportunity to branch out, and part of that is learning about other religions and other cultures," he said. "Being restricted would not be a good feeling."
Fitzgerald said he doesn't understand where the discrimination argument is coming from.
"Discrimination has gotten a bad name as a word, but it's not necessarily bad," he said. "Fraternities and sororites have their ideals and they absolutely have always had people not allowed in their fraternity or sorority because of bad behavior or because they no longer adhere to those ideals. That's never a problem, and now this becomes a problem. I'm not sure I understand"
Although Fittgerald sees this as a non-issue, Gewirtz said this is blatant discrimination.
"This is eliminating other groups of people from a group, and it discriminates against all groups that may not have ties to the religion or what the club is," Gewirtz said.
Last year, the Kansas Senate killed a discriminatory sexual orientation bill, and Haley said he hopes the House will mimic that action of stopping discriminatory bills. If the House doesn't succeed and it is passed into law, Haley said he wouldn't be surprised to see this challenged in court.
"Perhaps the House will return the favor and kill this bill," he said. "This could be a subject of the First Amendment right to affiliate. So, if this goes to court, I don't see how it could be upheld. What benefit does it serve to exclude someone?"

we've managed to keep our [residential] increases each year for the past three or four years under 3 percent, so that's something we are very proud of." Golledge said.
She said the increase has been approved by the Student Housing Advisory Board, the chancellor and the Board of Regents. That rate increase will be 2.9 percent, and the retail rate increases will be about the same: 2 to 3 per cent.
Golledge also said the department plans to raise its minimum wage for part-time student hourly workers from $7.80 per hour to $9.22 per hour in anticipation of a federal minimum wage increase There are also environmental factors.

Golledge said the price increases do their job of covering increasing costs each year.
The University currently charges $15 more for a top residential meal plan than Kansas State University and $44 more than the University of Missouri, but $686 less than Nebraska, which sits at about $4,250 for an equivalent plan, according to KU Dining. These numbers do not include retail value like the University's "Cuisine Cash."
"We have a chef that makes it for us, so we don't have as many options as if I were to eat on campus all the time. But I guess if you break down the cost of it, it's a little more cost-effective to eat there," Yungmeyer said. "Two dollars for a drink; it seems a little expensive."
Some students said they believe the convenience of dining on campus is offered at too high of a price.
"If this continues, I probably won't [eat Dining meals], because as a college student I'm broke, and I don't have money to spend on those foods," said Steve Kim, a sophomore from Overland Park. "It's overpriced for sure."

Renovations make library an asset downtown
LIBRARY
MADISON SCHULZ
@KansanNews
The newly renovated Lawrence public library stands on the corner of 7th and Vermont streets. The library is located near three local bookstores: The Raven, Signs of Life and The Dusty Bookshelf.
MADISON SCHULZ/KANSAN
When late July of 2014 rolled around, the corner of Seventh and Vermont, home of the Lawrence Public Library, looked very different. The new building that stood on the corner was bigger and more visually appealing to Lawrence citizens and University of Kansas students alike.
Along with the excitement for a new place where locals, students and book-lovers could go, there was hesitation because the expansion took place near three of downtown Lawrence's bookstores, and how that could possibly affect business.
Polli Kenn, a reader's services coordinator for two years at the Lawrence Public Library, said she believes the stores and library live in symbiosis with one another and not in competition.
"We have a really great relationship with the local bookstores, especially The Raven," Kenn said. "We work in close proximity with them. I also think there will always be those people who want to purchase the books, and that is where the actual stores come in."
According to a survey of 319 people in New York City, most people still prefer to own books,rather than checking them out at the library.
"I think bookstores are for the avid readers, and libraries are great for getting people excited about reading," Kenn said.

Libby Reazin, a sophomore
from Overland Park, says that she will often go to the public library to buy her coffee and study, but when she wants to read a book, she will still go the local store and buy it.
The Raven bookstore owner, Heidi Raak, greatly emphasizes the working relationship it has always had with the public library, although The Raven did see a loss in sales in August, September and October after the renovations to the library
were complete, according to Raak.
"The Raven has always given many monetary, amongst other, contributions to the library, and we also partner with them for [various activities], so we regard the library's refurbished digs in a very positive light," Raak said.
Along with the positive influence that having a good library can have on business downtown, there are other positive benefits to the locals and students.

Female voice is necessary in journalism
After the University published a recent study finding that women were more likely to leave the field of journalism. I was left feeling unsettled. As a woman majoring in journalism, I found the research discouraging. I immediately hoped I would never feel like the journalism industry was spitting me out because of my gender.
professor, Scott Reinardy conducted the research and found women were more likely to report "higher levels of role overload and intentions to leave the journalism industry." In addition, the research found fewer women were entering journalism schools to pursue a news and information career.
These conclusions are disturbing. Women need to have a strong presence in the media. For gender equity, women must play an active role in fields that were historically male-oriented, like the field of journalism.
A University journalism
Women should not be discouraged when entering the field. Female journalists like Barbara Walters, Helen Thomas and Katherine Graham are prime examples

of women who shattered the male-dominated journalism industry. They are role models to all women who want to achieve success in the field. In addition, women should try to avoid getting burnt
out, as Reinardy suggests often happens among female journalists. Women can take preventative measures like working with different media platforms, writing different types of stories and stepping out of their comfort zones to avoid getting burnt out. If more women leave the field early on, there will be less representation in higher management positions, which would be detrimental to the progress our society has made in gender equity.
It is so important for women to be represented in the media. Whether it's reporting the nightly news or writing columns, having females in these positions show that our society has moved past the notion of men as the only breadwinners. Women in this
field need to be treated with respect and be recognized for their drive, which in turn will inspire more women. If women want to see issues they value addressed to the public; they need to be the ones involved in the journalism field.
Journalism is essential to everyday life. From watching the morning news to skimming through news updates on Twitter, journalism is of great importance to our society. That is why it is necessary to have a strong female presence. For something so important to our daily lives, we need to have equal representation in the field.

MCAT fees cost too much; students need more aid
Kanika Kshirsagar @sneakykaniky
As students, we are around many professors who have chosen to further their educations after receiving their undergraduate degrees, which allows us to see how education widens opportunities.
However, for some, the cost to pursue this path is financially unrealistic. There are outlets that assist with financial aid once accepted to graduate school, but economic resources available during the application process are scarce.
The cost of tuition for a four-year undergraduate degree at the University is approximately $50,000 for in-state residents and about $100,000 for those coming from out-of-state. This is a lot of money to pay off, making graduate school seem way
out of reach. Grad school is expensive, and the cost to prepare and secure dates for entrance exams does not make it any easier.
To take the Medical College Admission Test, for example, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges, students are required to pay up to $350 in registration fees. Some aid is provided if students fall into a certain income eligibility bracket.
This a high cost for the average college student, and additional expenses like prep courses for the exam can cost up to $3,000. Two common prep programs that exist at the University are Altius and Kaplan. Students in these courses receive support and advice in order to succeed on their entrance exams.
Even after all this, the cost to apply to medical schools can be several hundred dollars —
and there is still no guarantee of admission.
There may be students who are extremely bright and more than capable of becoming doctors, but are not able to explore their interests because they are unable to come up with the finances. This leaves these students at an unfair advantage. Better aid should be provided in order to pay for entrance exams and prep.
There are ways to take out loans for graduate schools, but there isn't that much aid offered in order to prepare for admittance. By providing aid in these areas, we can build a bridge in place of the gap between undergraduate careers and higher education.

What to look for on Record Store Day

Lawrence record stores will take part in Record Store Day on Saturday. Love Garden Sounds, 822 Massachusetts St., and Kief's Music, 2429 Iowa St., will be participating.
Each year since 2007, thousands of people have flocked to local record stores across the country on the third Saturday of April for the love of one thing: vinyl.
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
This Saturday, April 18. Lawrence record stores will participate in Record Store Day, including both Love Garden Sounds on Massachusetts Street and Kief's Music on Iowa Street.
Record Store Day is the one day each year when all things vinyl can be celebrated, bringing business to record stores all over America. Many different labels and artists release exclusives specifically for the event, such as double LPs, colored vinyl, unreleased EPs, a reissue of an older album or deluxe versions of albums.
Some of the most exclusive or sought after releases are expected to be the Johnny Cash "Koncert V Praze (In Prague — Live)" 12-inch colored vinyl, a reissue of Bob Dylan's "The Basement Tapes" LP and David Bowie's "Changes" seven-inch picture disc. Those will be important to look for, but I'm here to discuss some of the records I will be looking for Saturday. Here are my four picks for Record Store Day 2015.
RUN THE JEWELS — "BUST NO MOVES" EP ON 12-INCH
"Run The Jewels" and "Run The Jewels 2" (Mass Appeal) have been two of the best hip-hop releases of the 2010s. Now, the duo of El-P and Killer Mike is giving us a bit more music. Run The Jewels is set to release a fourtrack EP on Record Store
Day. Love Garden said it has 20 copies of the EP, which features one unreleased track, "Bust No Moves" with special guest SL Jones. It's also going to have "Pew Pear Pew" (from the European version of RTJ), "Love Again" (from RTJ2) and "Blockbuster Night Pt. 2" (a bonus track from RTJ2).
group's debut album from 2000. Only 2,000 copies will be sold, and each will come with bonus instrumentals and a 24-page book. It's going to be a tough find, but well worth looking for, and Love Garden said it did order copies. The six-man Los Angeles-based group also plans to sell a limited amount of these boxes during tour dates this year.
JURASSIC 5 - "QUALITY CONTROL - THE WOOD BOX" BOX SET
This will be a quad-LP with 15 tracks in all. It's going to be sold in a beautifully crafted wood box, which matches the quality of the
If it's Wu-Tang, I'll be looking for it. This release will contain both of the
WU-TANG — "PROTECT YA NECK" AND "METHOD MAN" ON COLORED 12-INCH
tracks above, as well as a combined five remixes of the two. The 12-inch record will be presented on a split black-and-yellow vinyl, with the versions of "Protect Ya Neck" on one side and "Method Man" on the other. This is a perfect song for a re-release, with eight of the nine members making an appearance on the track. "Protect Ya Neck" could be considered one of the greatest hip-hop tracks of the 1990s.
BANKS — "THE REMIXES
BANKS — "THE REMIXES PART 2" ON 12-INCH California-based singer-
songwriter Banks is still rather unknown, but at the same time, she's suddenly burst onto the scene with her 2014 debut album "Goddess," which was essentially just an assembly of singles. She released her first allotment of remixes on Record Store Day in 2014, and this time around, only 2,000 copies will be released. The contents aren't known exactly, but the Record Store Day official website says the record will house unreleased remixes of "Beggin For Thread" from Aeroplane and KiNK.

'Songs About Jane' one of Maroon 5's best albums
LILY GRANT
@lilygrant_UDK
NEXT TIME
Maroon 5 performed at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., on Monday, April 6. "Songs About Jane" was Maroon 5's debut album, released in 2002.
Maroon 5 debuted its first album, "Songs About Jane" (Octone/J Records), on June 25, 2002. Since then, the band has released four additional albums; "It Won't Be Soon Before Long," "Hands All Over," "Overexposed" and its latest album, "V." Over time, its sound has changed from soulful, jazzy pop rock on "Songs About Jane," to solely pop music on its fifth album, "V."
"Songs About Jane" was not an instant success. It was re-released twice after its initial release, and it took five singles to really get recognition for the album, including notable tracks like "She Will Be Loved." "This Love" and "Harder To Breathe." By 2004, "Songs About Jane" was a platinum record.
CHRIS POLK/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Today, "Songs About Jane" has sold over 5 million copies. Maroon 5 is now a mega-famous pop band that has toured across the world. Adam Levine, the band's front man, has made a name for himself, thanks to his unique tenor voice. He has also served as a judge on the reality talent show "The Voice."
Through "Songs About Jane," the band established itself as a sex symbol with songs like "This Love," "Shiver" and "Secret." Every single song has at least one sexually suggestive line, and this theme has continued to be a prominent and driving force in all of Maroon 5's albums, like in the songs "Animals" and "Hands All Over."
The band's 12-track freshman album is ordered in a way that may resemble the progression of a
relationship. Its title, "Songs About Jane," is quite literal. Jane was an ex-girlfriend of Levine's, and the entire album was inspired by their relationship, according to an interview with MTV in August 2002.
"There's at least one line in every song about her," Levine said in the interview. The album begins with "Harder To Breathe" and "This Love," which indicate the struggles of a relationship. The next
several tracks are either about sex or love. "Must Get Out," the seventh track, expresses a rocky period of the relationship. The last three tracks are fitting to end the album. "Through With You" and "Not Coming Home" are bitter, resentful and angry songs about the relationship once it's gone wrong. "Sweetest Goodbye," the final song of the album, has the lyrics, "I'll never leave you behind or treat you unkind. I
"Songs About Jane" is a catchy pop album consisting of borderline-cliché love songs, typical of the pop genre. What "Songs About Jane" had to offer that Maroon 5's most recent albums lack is an almost funky, jazzy vibe, which really adds a uniqueness to the pop feel.
know you understand," which describes a peaceful departure and the end of the singer's relationship with Jane.
With its latest album, "V," the modern Maroon 5 gave us a compilation of radio hits like "Sugar." While I admit the songs are undeniably catchy, I believe Maroon 5 did its best work in its earliest albums, "Songs About Jane" and "It Won't Be Soon Before Long," when it still had variety throughout the songs and incorporated many different sounds and instruments into the music.

For every dollar a man earns in the workforce, a woman will only earn about 77 cents, according to President Barack Obama's Proclamation regarding National Equal Pay Day in 2014. This year, National Equal Pay Day was recognized Tuesday, April 14 — the day on which women caught up to the annual salary men made in the previous year.
The gender wage gap idea claims that women only receive 77 percent of a man's salary. However, that exact
gap does not apply to all jobs and backgrounds, according to data released by the U.S. Department of Labor and Pew Research Center.

Yet more women than ever are financially supporting their families — about 40 percent of American households currently have female breadwinners, according to a Washington Post article. The article also states that by fixing the gender wage gap, the number of working single moms who live in poverty would be cut in half. Currently, there are twice as many single women with children below the poverty line as there are single men with children.

However, those numbers changed when the U.S.Department of Labor considered differences in education and careers — when a woman has an equal education and career choice as a man, the wage gap closes slightly, but she is still earning 7 percent less

Occupations with the worst wage gap include surgeons, financial advisers and chief executives, where women are earning as little as 61 percent compared to their male counterparts, according to BuzzFeed.
Although women have increased their presence in higher-paying jobs that are usually dominated by men, the female population continues to work in lower-paying occupations.

The event will feature a screening of Growing Cities, a documentary about urban farming. A lasagna dinner will also be provided by 23rd Street Brewery.
Freiburger, 39, is an alumna who attended the University from 2002- 2010 and earned a Ph.D. in sociology.
"The programming we will provide will be something with everyone," she said. "Everyone eats, everyone needs food. We see these issues overlapping with social justice, and we would' like to include as many people as possible."
Sunrise Project is relevant to students who may have a hard time making ends meet and those who want to help the community.
A panel will be held after dinner and the screening of the film. The panel will include Dina Newman, the health initiatives manager of Grown in Ivanhoe, a similar nonprofit based in Kansas City, Mo. Newman sees Sunrise Project becoming a beacon of change for the Lawrence community.
"I love their vision, and I love the fact that they are empowering the people with the tools, literally and figuratively, to change the landscape of the community and their lives," Newman said. "Informed empowerment is the essence of what I have coined as 'Sustainable Healthy Urban Living,' or 'SHUL', and the Sunrise Project seems to understand this concept."

University of Kansas Medical Center said it cannot accept more nursing school applicants even though those in the health care field say there is a shortage of nurses. KU Med attributes the issue to "insufficient funding."
the workforce by 2022. About half of these jobs would contribute to the care of aging baby boomers and help with the increased access to health care that came with the Affordable Care Act. The others would replace nearly 525,000 retiring nurses, according to the ANA.
Those in the health care field say that the shortage of registered nurses (RNs) is a long-standing issue. Andrew Berkin, recruitment manager at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said that the nursing shortage isn't anything new. He said there is a greater demand for RNs who can give acute care.
"The need for nurses is always growing, especially as the living aging population is growing," Berkin said.
The American Association of Colleges of Nurses says "nursing school enrollment is not growing fast enough to meet the projected demand for RN and APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse) services." Universities do not have the increased faculty or facilities to admit more students into their ranks but continue to educate and produce quality nurses who will enter the workforce. According to Barnes, KU Med can admit 104 students each year. She said the school's capacity determines that exact number.
The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) surveyed 12 of the member schools in Kansas. Of those surveyed, "approximately two-thirds report insufficient funding as one of the biggest obstacles to hiring additional faculty." Rep. Barbara Ballard said $9.2 million was taken from the Lawrence campus of the University of Kansas alone, and that KU Med had additional funds cut. Finding funding for the KU Med nursing school
would require more cuts,
Ballard said, some of which
would possibly be jobs.
"You can't cut and then give more money when you cut," Ballard said. "It doesn't work like that."
Ballard said if the state and KU Med can keep the number of nurses being produced flat in the time of a huge financial deficit, then that is a good thing.
"If they have not had to drop down to a hundred or ninety or anything like that, at least they are providing nursing on the same level that they have been for many years," Ballard said.
Unlike the projected shortage of nurses, the University of Kansas is not seeing a shortage of nursing school applicants, according to Erin Holm, a pre-nursing advisor at the University. She said about 250 students applied this past cycle, making an increase in recruitment efforts unnecessary.
"We're still turning quite a few people away because we only take so many each year,"
"Although we want to contribute to the projected shortage, I think that the majority of our contribution is finding the nurses that are going to become the leaders of the future rather than just trying to funnel many more students into nursing," Barnes said.
KU Med recognizes its enrollment limitations. Barnes said the focus is on finding the best students for the 104 spots available.
Holm said.
The University changed its application process for nursing hopefuls this past year, and Holm said she thinks it had an effect on the number of applicants. The school is currently using Nursing Cast, which Holm describes as a common app for nursing students. She said it is more expensive and time-consuming than the previous process, which the school is going back to this October.
"Before we started using Nursing Cast, we had upwards of four or five hundred students apply," Holm said.
cess takes into account GPA and letters of recommendation, as well as volunteer, leadership and health care experience. Holm that the school values hands-on experience so students are sure of their career path when they are admitted.
The school's admission pro-
"Whatever it is, we want you to have that pseudo-patient contact," Holm said.
Berkin echoed the importance of experience outside of the classroom and said hospitals are looking for more bang for their buck when it comes to hiring. He said Lawrence Memorial Hospital is not experiencing a shortage, but he is seeing a shift in applicants.
"Where before we had a line of nurses waiting to apply for open positions with many years of experience, we're now seeing nurses waiting to apply for positions, but typically they're ones right out of school with less than maybe two to three years of experience," Berkin said.

Seattle CEO cuts pay so all workers earn $70,000
GENE JOHNSON
Associated Press
He's already gained new customers, too.
SEATTLE - A Seattle CEO who announced that he's giving himself a drastic pay cut to help cover the cost of big raises for his employees didn't just make those workers happy.
"We've definitely gained a handful of customers in the last day or two," said Stefan Bennett, a customer relations manager at Gravity Payments, a credit card payment processing firm. "We're showing people you can run a good company, and you can pay people fairly, and it can be profitable."
Dan Price, chief executive of the company, stunned his 100-plus workers on Monday when he told them he was cutting his roughly $1 million salary to $70,000 and using company profits to ensure that everyone there would earn at least that much within three years.
For some workers, the increase will more than double their pay. One 21-year-old mother said she'll buy a house.
At a time of increasing anger nationally over the enormous gap between the pay of top executives and their employees, the announcement received immense attention. But corporate governance professor David Larcker of the Stanford University Graduate School of Business said it's unclear if Price's unusual gesture will start a trend.
"It's an alternative way to think about a tough problem, and I give these guys a lot of credit for laying it out there," Larser said. "Whether this would scale to a
bigger organization, it's hard to know. But it's clever, it's interesting and it's fun to think about."
Washington state already has the nation's highest minimum wage at $9.47 an hour, and earlier this month Seattle's minimum wage law went into effect. It will eventually raise base hourly pay to $15.
Labor unions and workers in the Seattle area on Wednesday joined national protests for better pay. Drivers for Uber and Lyft — the app-based car-hailing services — gathered in Seattle, while airport workers rallied at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Gravity's CEO launched the company from his dorm room at Seattle Pacific University when he was just 19. He's long taken a progressive approach that included adopting a policy allowing his workers to take unlimited paid vacation after their first year.
"I think this is just what everyone deserves," Price told workers in a video of Monday's announcement released by the company.
But he also acknowledged it won't be easy: The increased pay will eat into at least half the company's profits, he said, and he has no plans to simply raise rates on clients.
"It's up to us to find a way to make it work," he said.
Bennett, 28, went to college with Price and has worked for Gravity since graduation. He said he was already happy to work for a company that treats its employees and customers well in what he otherwise considers a predatory industry. For him, the raise will amount to about $10,000.

Kansas heads to Texas for final matches against Baylor, Texas
JACOB CLEMEN
@jclemn9
Coming off its first road win against a ranked opponent, Kansas tennis will hit the road looking to pick up a pair of important road victories against No. 8 Baylor and No. 36 Texas.
The road trip, which begins Friday in Waco, Texas, against Baylor, is Kansas' last chance to improve its standings before the Big 12 Championships, which will take place April 23-26 in Waco.
Kansas is tied with Texas for fifth in the conference at 4-3 in conference play and has
a chance to pass up to three teams heading into the season-ending tournament.
Standing in its way is an impressive Baylor team loaded with talent, including sophomore Blair Shankle, who won her second Big 12 Women's Player of the Week award in the past month.
The sophomore went undefeated last week in her matches against No. 36 Texas and No.10 Texas A&M.
Along with a talented roster, Baylor boasts a veteran group including three upperclassmen and two sophomores.
Following its match against
Baylor, Kansas will head to Austin to square off against a Texas Longhorn team that is looking to finish above .500 under first year coach Danielle Lund McNamara, who took over the program following the fall season.
Like Baylor, Texas boasts an experienced squad returning five of its six singles starters from last season.
Kansas will have to contend with junior Breaunna Addison, who is already a two-time All-American and heads both the singles and doubles lineups for Texas.
Kansas will look to build on a strong showing against
No. 29 Oklahoma after taking the match 4-3 in Norman, Okla. The Jayhawks hope the come-from-behind victory will propel them to more success moving forward.
"We talked all week about knowing we could win these types of matches. We have been so close all year and lost so many close matches, it was great to pull on through," coach Todd Chapman said in a press release.
The match against Baylor is set to begin 5 p.m. Friday, while the match in Austin will begin at 1 p.m. Sunday.

COMMENTARY
Swagger.
What is the identity of 2015 Kansas City Royals in one word? (Insert Jeopardy theme music in the background)
It may be a small sample size just eight games into the season, but this year's Royals are reminiscent to last year's ball club that roared through the postseason, going undefeated through the entire American League playoffs.
Kansas City plays with energy like no other team in Major League Baseball. A swarm of players vault out of the dugout after every home run before the player can even hit the steps. They do elaborate high-five routines.
this is not the norm for a sport in which a team has to play 162 games a year.
These hand gestures along with their boyish-like spirit is one of the many reasons why the Royals became a fan favorite, leading up to the World Series.
All of these things started during the postseason last year, when the Royals made their first postseason berth in 29 years.
So why are people suddenly annoyed with this team?
Earlier this week the Angels' website from SB Nation released
this article stating that the Royals are too cocky for their own good.
They were of course talking about the stare down between Yordano Ventura and Angels' Mike Trout, which later led to the benches being cleared. The article went on to say how the Royals shouldn't be upset that the Angels could actually score from third.
Now of course this is just one SB Nation blog, but it seems many teams and fan bases share the same thoughts as Halos Heaven.
Kansas City leads the major league in hit by pitches, a category that isn't the necessarily the best to lead in. Alex Rios was just put on the disabled list due to a fractured hand after a hit by pitch.
It's impossible to know for sure if the Royals are being intentionally hit, or if they just happen to face a bunch of erratic pitchers at the start of the year. But it's certainly a stat to keep an eye on for the time being, especially when the Royals' young ace just ticked off the reigning AL MVP.
Prior to the season,many experts picked against the Royals repeating last season's improbable success, despite falling 90 feet short of tying Game 7 of the World Series.
With experts picking against you and teams resenting you, it's hard not to be cocky when you sit atop the league's standing.
And at this moment the Royals can use the best response in sports: Scoreboard.
Swagger.

Kansas football's revival will take time
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
Sports fans are impatient. Especially in a town like Lawrence where the only athletic squads sport the crimson and blue, it's easy to become shortsighted. With the Kansas football team, frustrations after years of patience hit a tipping point with the higher ups within the athletic department last year.
The coaching staff was almost entirely renewed after a three-win season in 2014, and rightfully so. The department needs to sell tickets again after a seemingly abysmal attendance rate last year, but winning is the only way to do that. Charlie Weis had his time to renew football culture, and he failed.
Now it's David Beaty's turn to give it a shot. But it's going to take some patience — especially with the new offense — not only from fans, but the players under him as well.
"In some systems, a coach
"I know it's contrary to culture out there nowadays," new offensive coordinator Rob Likens said. "With the remote control you can just pick it up, change the channel if you don't want to watch a commercial. It's not that way with this. This is going to take some time and some perseverance."
The installation of Likens' offense, which is upbeat in pace and resembles the air raid, isn't going to come in a single day or week or maybe even season. Not only does Likens have the responsibility of rebooting the offseason program to match the tempo of the new offense, he also must clean the remaining unusable sludge from the last scheme at Kansas.
tells them to do this, and we come in and tell them that's wrong." Likens said. "When you come in, you try to look for some things that you can do some carryover. If you don't see any reason to keep anything, then it's a starting over."
This learning curve, though has been easier for players than in the past. That's by Likens' design. Plays usually come in a short two-word form to not only save time, but to help the offense learn the system more quickly.
The implementation of the offense has been a three-step rinse-and-repeat process, which the team has been through three times now. However, Likens still has to limit some of the things he wants to do simply because he wants to hammer down the basics before moving on.
"With the remote control you can just pick it up, change the channel if you don't want to watch a commercial. It's not that way with this."
ROB LIKENS
Offensive coordinator
"We don't do a ton of motion right now. We're keeping everyone stationary just for the quarterbacks so they don't have to think, the defense doesn't move on them with the motion and everything." Likens said. "The thing you don't want to do everyday in spring is, you come out there with a whole new batch of plays.
"Then that's a whole new batch of plays you've got to put in, you've got to teach all the tiny little details of each one, and then all of a sudden you look up, you got 90 plays in the spring and you're not good at anything. That's like my biggest fear. That's what I do not want to do."
There's plenty Likens can't teach yet, but slowly, in spring practices, the offense is coming along behind quarterbacks Michael Cummings, senior, and Montell Cozart, junior, who are still gutting it out for the starting quarterback spot.
"Picking it up wasn't really a problem," Cummings said. "Getting out there, running it, getting more comfortable knowing what to do when the defense does certain things. That's the benefit of having that repeat cycle, revisiting plays that we might have only run on the first day."
Neither Cummings nor Cozart seem to have a leg up in the quarterback race, but Beaty and Likens expect to find a quarterback and have him stick through the season. But the decision between Cummings and Cozart, just as the offense, will take time and patience from the fans.
Without patience, the team could be right back where it was last year; lacking wins and lacking ticket sales, and that may put this new scheme on the brink.
"I'm excited that this is an actual competition. That's something that our position group is excited about. We go out there every day, ready to take on the world," Cummings said. "The best player will be out there on Saturdays."

Tinsley doing it all for Jayhawks' baseball
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
Kansas baseball is loaded with veteran offensive talent and it shows, as it currently ranks at the top of the Big 12 when it comes to offensive statistics. However, sophomore Michael Tinsley stands out of the pack.
The catcher has made a major impact on the team's season after filling in for the starting role left open in the offseason with the departure of Second Team All-Big 12 catcher Ka'iana Eldredge.
"I really did expect him to make this type of impact," coach Ritch Price said. "I thought he was an outstanding prospect the first time I saw him."
Tinsley currently leads Kansas with a batting average of .351. 30 RBIs and 13 doubles.
While he holds leads when it comes to his team's batting, he owns a more impressive statistic of being ranked among the top 10 in seven offensive categories in the Big 12.
Tinsley currently sits at fifth
in the conference when it comes to his batting average. He also ranks eighth in the conference with 47 hits and third in doubles. The sophomore has been a great teammate to his fellow base runners this season, as he is just one RBI away from first place in the Big 12 in the category. He has been stellar at getting on base, ranking seventh with a .421 percentage.
While he gets on base often, he does so while hitting with power. Tinsley ranks ninth in the conference when it comes to slugging percentage, hitting a .496 on the year.
Tinsley was unaware he held such rankings, appearing to have the mindset of simply wanting to win games.
"I just saw myself earning my spot," Tinsley said. "In the fall, Skip [Price] told me I'd be batting third or fourth, and I just took that as a great compliment."
During Wednesday's game against Missouri State, Tinsley honed his hitting ability to prevent a no-hitter against his team, snapping it with a single up the middle.
"He can hit velocity, and that's why he's such a good division I player," Price said. "There's a lot of guys who can hit 86 to 88 [mph] that can't hit 94 to 95. He's got that special ability to be on time with the fastball."
Tinsley has shined in the batter's box, but he is also an asset behind the plate. He considers himself an offensive catcher, but he has been a brick wall this season while pitching has struggled. On Wednesday, he showed how he can positively affect the Jayhawk pitches.
After Sean Rackoski gave up a three-RBI single to allow Missouri State to take a 3-0 lead, Tinsley approached the mound to talk with his teammate and calm him down. The opponent did not score a run for the remainder of the game.
The Jayhawks will continue Big 12 play this Friday against Texas, where Michael "Top" Tensley will look to continue his dominant hitting to rise even further in the league's ranks.

THE DAILY DEBATE
WHICH KANSAS PITCHER IS NEXT BEST TO ALICIA PILLE?
Nick Couzin
@ncouz
BRYN HOULTON
Senior Pitcher Alicia Pille from Royse City, Texas, is no doubt the ace of the Kansas softball team. However, as Jayhawk fans have seen as of late, no one pitcher should carry the entire team.
Pille started to dip during the Texas series. Facing off against the Longhorns in March, she only pitched 6.3 innings and earned losses in all three games. Her ERA was a combined 6.77, way too high for a pitcher of her caliber.
This past weekend, Kansas fans witnessed her struggles again, as she pitched just 3.1 innings against the Lady Red Raiders. Now, I'm not saying Alicia Pille should be removed, but it is obvious Kansas should have a valuable second option to back her up in times of need.
As Pille is a senior, the Jayhawks need to start looking toward the future, and with most of their pitching rotation consisting of freshmen and sophomores, the future is bright — and starts with Houlton. She has had her opportunities this year, being able to come in and replace Pille and also staying in games.
This year that second option is freshman Bryn Houlton from Savanna, Okla.
During a recent loss to the Texas Longhorns on March 28, Houlton replaced Pille, who had a season low of 1/3 inning pitched.
Houlton's record this season as a pitcher is 10-4 with a total ERA of 3.15. For a freshman, that's impressive.
Houlton held the Longhorns to only three runs for the rest of the game. Pille gave up a season-high eight runs, and the final score was 11-5.
For Houlton to come into such a tough situation in which her team trailed 8-0 early, it shows she can stay composed while faced with the pressure of trying not to give up anymore runs. Houlton was victorious in that category.
Not only has she had success
as a second option behind Pille, but as a starter, as well. This past Saturday against Texas Tech, she pitched six innings and earned the win, only giving up six hits, three runs and an ERA of 3.15.
"NOT ONLY HAS SHE HAD SUCCESS AS A SECOND OPTION BEHIND PILLE, BUT AS A STARTER, AS WELL."
As Kansas softball looks to the future, it looks like there will be many positive pitching performances. As far as this season goes, senior leader Pille is carrying the load as far as pitching goes and when she needs a break, coach Megan Smith should look to bring in Houlton. Not only does that give rest to Pille, but also gives Houlton the experience needed to mark her name in Kansas softball pitching perfection as only a freshman.

In softball, it's easy to let your star pitcher go all year. They don't suffer the short-term effects baseball pitchers do when they throw too much, so when a pitcher is on, why take her off?
SOPHIA TEMPLIN
However, if Kansas wants to have any success in the postseason, Alicia Pille has to be rested and fresh. She began the season as one of the best pitchers in the country, going one month without losing a game with a 2.07 ERA. Now Pille has the best mark on the team with a 2.72 ERA, and she continues to be the Jayhawks' ace-in-the-hole when the lights are brightest.
But in order to keep Pille healthy and fresh for the NCAA Regionals, Kansas needs another option to turn to in the circle until the end
of the season. With crucial clashes against Oklahoma and Baylor coming up, Kansas desperately needs a good second option to pitch.
Sophia Templin, a sophomore from DeSoto, uses numerous off-speed pitches. She is the layhawks' best option to fill the void when Pille can't stand in the circle.
Templin has a 4.04 ERA in 13 appearances, in which she's gone 4-1. She's given up the fewest runs of anyone on the team, despite pitching the third-most innings and making the second-most appearances. She doesn't give up the long ball — just two in 26 innings — and her pitch-to-contact style has led her to face just 101 batters. Her 3.88 batters per inning stat is tied for second on the team, along with her 27 strikeouts.
+
Templin's curveball is dirty, and it did a tremendous job of confusing the Texas hitters when they played Kansas at Rock Chalk Park in March. In that series, Pille gave up eight earned runs on 12 hits in just seven innings. Templin gave up just five earned in seven and a third.
most sense because, simply, no team preparing for Pillle would be ready to face an off-speed pitcher like Templin.
When Templin came into the Texas series, Longhorn hitters were out in front of almost all her pitches and ended up grounding out more often than not. Templin's ability to keep the ball low in the zone and establish the outside part of the plate allows her to work around power hitters and make very few mistakes. Her off-speed pitches contrast starkly with Pille's pace, and that one-two punch is enough to fool any lineup in the Big 12.
Templin would make the
"NO TEAM PREPARING FOR PILLE WOULD BE READY TO FACE AN OFF-SPEED PITCHER LIKE TEMPLIN."
While Pile remains the No.1 option, Templin is the ideal second-option pitcher for coach Megan Smith.

Kansas softball looks to rebuild its momentum against Tulsa
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
After losing last weekend's series against the Texas Tech Red Raiders, the Jayhawks (33-7, 4-5) look to get back on track with a two-game, out-of-conference series against the Tulsa Hurricanes.
"We went on the road and had three tough games and battled in all three. The losses were tough, because they were one-run losses. We've been pretty successful in one-run games this year. We've kind
The Jayhawks dropped out of both national top-25 rankings this weekend after only winning one game in last weekend's three-game series against Texas Tech. Kansas defeated Texas Tech 11-9 last Saturday, but struggled to answer runs from the Red Raiders, losing 7-8 Friday and 4-5 Sunday.
of flirted with that for a while and come out on top and we couldn't pull it out this past weekend," coach Megan Smith said.
The Jayhawks outhit the Red Raiders in nearly all of this past weekend's games, but were unable to score runs in late innings, pushing across only a combined four runs in the last two innings of all three games.
The Jayhawks will travel to Tulsa, Okla., this weekend to face the Tulsa Hurricanes (26-15, 8-4). The Jayhawks will play the Hurricanes on Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.
"We've challenged our players to fight more so at the beginnings of the games," Smith said. "I felt that at Texas Tech, we kind of waited around a little bit, especially in the last game. So we're going to lock in on being tougher early in the games."
The Hurricanes boast an impressive 26-15 record this season and hold a 6-3 record at home, with some notable losses coming against No. 2 Oregon by a score of 4-2 and to No. 14 Baylor by a score of 2-0. The Hurricanes have also won four of their last six games.
Senior Julie Kernen has a .362 batting average and leads the team with 46 hits, 14 doubles, 10 home runs and 52 RBIs. Senior Erica Sampson ranks third on the team with a .343 batting average, but leads the team with 48 runs scored and has recorded 47 hits, eight home runs and 27 RBIs.
"Tulsa is a tough team. They're a great offensive team, they have a lot of offensive threats, a lot of power in the lineup," Smith said. "Their pitching staff is very balanced, they have three pitchers that have thrown about the same
amount of innings and have an under-three ERA. Just a quality team from a really good conference."
Tulsa's pitching staff is led by freshman Emily Watson, who boasts a 2.40 ERA and has recorded 67 strikeouts while allowing 66 hits and 31 runs scored. Junior Caitlin Sill ranks second on the pitching staff with a 2.68 ERA and has recorded 62 strikeouts while allowing 90 hits and 43 runs scored.
Senior Bailey Erwin rounds out the rotation for the Hurricanes and boasts a 2.88 ERA while recording 89 strikeouts while allowing 107 hits and 48 runs scored. After this weekend, the Jayhawks will get a midweek game against SIU-Edwardsville before beginning a huge weekend series against the No. 5 Oklahoma Sooners.

Baseball resumes conference play against Texas
EVAN RIGGS @EvanRiggs15
After taking a one-game break from conference play, the Jayhawks (15-22, 3-6) will host the Texas Longhorns (19-18, 6-6) this weekend.
These two teams are going opposite directions, as the Longhorns limp into Lawrence after losing 10 of their last 12 games, while the Jayhawks have won four of their last six contests.
The Jayhawks pitching staff has been much improved during their hot streak. Their starters only gave up three earned runs in three games to Oklahoma State and just three runs last night to Missouri State and will be key going forward.
"We've gotten better every week of the season," coach Ritch Price said. "I like our team. If our pitching keeps making progress, we'll be real good before [the season is] over."
Fielding was another big reason for the Jayhawks' wins last weekend against Oklahoma State. In their wins they had no errors, and they had no errors in the loss last night.
"Everybody just competes and makes plays," senior first baseman Blair Beck said. "Skip [Price] always harps on getting 27 outs. If we continue to do that, we will be tough to beat."
In Big 12 play, the Longhorns are eighth in the conference with a .242 batting average, but they do have some strong bats
in their lineup. Outfielder Ben Johnson is seventh in the conference with 15 hits, and outfielder Collin Shaw is fourth in home runs with two.
Shaw will be a player to watch for the Longhorns. He has had a spectacular season from the plate with three home runs and 27 RBI's. Catcher Tres Barrera is another dangerous hitter the Jayhawks will have to deal with; he has five home runs and 21 RBIs this season.
Last weekend the Jayhawks faced the best pitching staff in the conference in Oklahoma State, who has a 1.92 era. This weekend, they will try to solve the Longhorns pitching, which ranks second in the Big 12 with a 2.63 ERA.
Although the Jayhawks have had some young players step up this season, the veterans have been the driving force. Beck and sophomore catcher Michael Tinsley have been the Jayhawks' best players this season. Beck has six home runs, 28 RBIs and 21 walks drawn. Tinsley has two home runs, 30 RBIs and 21 walks drawn.
In conference play, senior outfielder Dakota Smith has been a valuable source of power for the Jayhawks. He ranks fourth in the Big 12 with three home runs in conference play.
The Jayhawks will try to continue their winning ways at Hogland Ballpark. They play Friday at 6 p.m., Saturday at 6 p.m., and Sunday at 1 p.m.

THE MORNING BREW
Raptors' disappointments capped off by 'record-breaking' season
After wrapping up their 20th regular season with a win over Charlotte, the Toronto Raptors set a new franchise record for wins with 49. However, the Raptors setting a franchise-best mark while failing to win at least 60 percent of their games is far from impressive, especially in a season when two teams ended with at least 10 more wins than them, and 10 teams matched or improved upon their win total. Forty-nine wins.
As a record, that unimpressive number does seem a bit surprising, considering some of the talent the Raptors have possessed at one time or another, but in the context of those players' careers, it really all makes sense.
Probably the greatest Raptor of all time, Vince Carter dazzled fans with his ridiculous athleticism, which is why he is considered by many to be among the greatest dunkers of all time
Although Carter did overlap with some great players during his time in Toronto, their careers never really synced up. For example, Carter played one season in Toronto with Hakeem Olajuwon, one of the greatest centers of all time, but that was at the very end of Olaiuwon's career.
It was the same case for Charles Oakley, who overlapped with Carter well past the prime of his career.
Carter also overlapped with now-Miami Heat center Chris Bosh, but that was only in Bosh's first two seasons.
+
Scott Chasen Sean Collins @KansanSports
Bosh averaged just 11.5 and 16.8 points per game in each of his first two years, but would go on to average more than 22 points per game in each of his next five seasons, when Carter was gone.
Carter also just missed out on playing with Tracy McGrady in his prime. McGrady would go on to become one of the greatest scorers in NBA history, as he would average 24-plus points per game seven times in his career.
including one season in which he averaged 32.1 points per game. That mark was higher than any hit by Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade — some of the greatest scorers of the 21st century — in an individual season.
When the two overlapped in Toronto, McGrady averaged 9.3 and 15.4 points per game, and he had not yet grown into the player he would become. In fact, his play was so dominant after that point that Basketball-reference.com gives him a 95-plus percent chance of being elected to the Hall of Fame, following

his retirement in 2013.
Another missed connection.
Throughout their time as a franchise, the Raptors have found this often to be the case. From T-Mac to Carter, from Bosh until the present, the Raptors
have never really had a team with 50-plus win talent. That is, until now
With one of the more complete teams in their franchise history, the Raptors did set a team-high mark this year in wins, but ultimately their season was not as good as it could have been. The team lost 13 games to teams .500 or below and went on three different four-plus game losing streaks, something good teams should be able to avoid.
While the team finally does have a solid core with Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan and Jonas Valanciunas, they're still a major piece away from contending for an NBA Championship. In a league with James, Stephen Curry, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis, mid-level talent isn't going to bring a franchise ring, and that's the biggest problem the Raptors have to combat now.

@KansanSports
The first round of matchups in our Face of the Streak is complete. We appreciate everyone's participation in determining the ultimate fan favorite from the past 11 years of Kansas men's basketball. The Round of 16 matchups will begin Monday, so pick up a Kansan and head to kansan.com for complete coverage.
QUICK HITS FROM THE RESULTS
QUICK HITS FROM THE RESULTS Biggest blowout: Jeff Withey over Xavier Henry (94 per cent-6 percent)
This comes as no surprise. Kansas basketball fans enjoyed Withey's defensive prowess, particularly his ability to block shots. Students would form a "W" with their hands and bow to Withey after making a big play at home games. He led Kansas to the national championship game during the 2011-12 season.
Henry, on the other hand, had a respectable freshman season, averaging 13 points and four rebounds per game. That marked his one year at Kansas for Henry, who was selected as the 12th overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft. Had Henry stayed, his stock would obviously have been a lot higher.
Closest matchup: Tie (two matchups)—Tyshawn Taylor over Darrell Arthur, Darnell Jackson over Markieff Morris (winners received 53 percent
of the votes)
Being a starter on the 2008 national championship team didn't matter too much in these matchups, as post player Arthur fell to Taylor.
In a battle of post players with different styles of play, Jackson, who manned the paint for the 2008 championship team, beat Morris, who couldn't advance to the Round of 16 along with his brother.
Biggest surprise: Joel Embid's slim win over Elijah Johnson (54 percent-46 percent)
Johnson played a major role in the Jayhawks' run to the national championship game during the 2011-12 season. His 18 points, which included a go-ahead basket in the final minute, helped Kansas avoid an upset in the Round of 32 to Purdue on the way. However, Johnson didn't end on the highest note, ending his senior year with five turnovers in a Sweet 16 loss to Michigan.
Embiid, on the other hand,
was popular among fans because of his play on the court as well as his exuberant presence on Twitter. The Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, Embid averaged 11 points, eight rebounds and nearly three blocks per game as a freshman. His season ended early, however, as he had to sit out the NCAA Tournament games with a back injury — something voters may have considered in this matchup.

Kansas baseball gets mauled by Baylor Bears
Sophomore pitcher Sean Rackoski throws a pitch to home plate Wednesday evening at Hoglund Ballpark. The Jayhawks lost to Missouri State 3-0.
WESLEY DOTSON
@WesleyDee23
After a weekend series that saw the Kansas Jayhawks upset the Oklahoma State Cowboys, the team was unable to find any type of offensive output Wednesday night, resulting in a 3-0 loss to the No.15 Missouri State Bears.
BEN BROOKSY/KANSAN
Kansas sophomore pitcher Sean Rackoski was only able to last three innings. He allowed five hits, walked four batters and gave up three earned runs. Rackoski was coming off an impressive outing against New Mexico last Wednesday when he struck out three batters and allowed only one earned run in five innings of work.
The only runs of the game came on a' Justin Paulsen three-run single up the middle in the top of the second inning.
["Rackoski] had a good first inning and got the first two outs [in the second inning] before they put three runs on the board," coach Ritch Price said after the loss. "We needed him to get some reps and give
us an opportunity to help us get to the weekend. We didn't want him to pitch more than five innings, but obviously we had to get him out of there after three."
Pitching continues to be an improvement for the Jayhawks. After Rackoski was relieved in the fourth inning, the
bullpen certainly did its part for the remainder of the game. The bullpen, in total, pitched six scoreless innings, allowing only one more hit the rest of
the game.
"Our pitching has made progress in the last few weeks, and our team ERA is still over six, but we were better Tuesday and Wednesday last week and over the weekend, and I think it carried over tonight," Price said. "Coach Graves is working with them every day and we are making progress."
Despite another strong pitching staff performance, the Jayhawks were unable to muster any form of offense against the Bears. Kansas was held hitless until the bottom of the eighth inning with two outs. Sophomore catcher Michael Tinsley singled to center field to erase the no-hit bid.
The offensive outage was unexpected, considering Kansas is top in the Big 12 with its .282 batting average.
"This is really disappointing to our coaching staff," Price said. "I'm really disappointed in our club offensively, and there were some really bad atbats. We were noncompetitive with guys in scoring position, and that hasn't been the case for us."
Bears starter Andy Cheray did not allow a hit in his two and one-third innings of work, but he wasn't particularly sharp in his outing. Cheray walked five batters before being relieved in the third inning.
Missouri State pitcher Sam Perez had a fantastic showing in his relief work. He went a scoreless six and two-thirds innings, striking out four batters. The performance earned him his fourth win of the season.
Perez had the second-highest ERA on the pitching staff for the Bears at 6.38 before his appearance. Clearly, Perez was able to find a rhythm Wednesday. His fastball command was the key to his outing, which was particularly sharp most of the night.
The Jayhawks (15-22) will try and get back on track as they continue their homestand against the Texas Longhorns this weekend, beginning at 6 p.m. Friday at Hoglund Ballpark. Texas is 19-18 this season and 6-6 in Big 12 play.

Rainey said she also looks forward to supporting imagine constituents who earned Senatorial seats from the election.
"They won because students felt the need to have them there and we are going to support them in every possible way," Rainey said.
Pringle said her and George's next move is to collaborate with Rainey and Sarmiento.

After Anneil applied, a panel of community members narrowed down the applicants. On April 1, the final four candidates were hosted at a reception open to the public. Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard said the public offered opinions of the applicants, and eventually all roads led to Arneil.
"We got a lot of great comments about his experience in Kansas City, and people thought he'd bring
a great amount of energy and be a great fit for Lawrence," Stoddard said.
Citing some of the projects he has seen in Kansas City, Mo., Stoddard said she looks forward to the experience he'll bring.
"Being in Kansas City, he's seen all these types of projects happen," she said. "He's seen the Crossroads District and all the other things in the Kansas City arts scene, and he'll bring with him the experience of managing these projects and working collaboratively with their arts organizations."

Durham said the group was unable to host a whole week of events last year, but this year it has coordinated efforts with several other organizations. These include KU Hillel, KU Chabad, the Department of Jewish Studies, Zeta Beta Tau, Alpha Epsilon Pi and lavakhows for Israel.
The highlight of the events, she said, is the Israel Independence Day party 8 p.m. Thursday at the Nest of the Oread. It commemorates Yom Haatzmaut, the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948.
"I know in Israel on this day, [there are] parties everywhere," Durham said. "Everyone's having fun, everyone's

"That's the beauty and the depth of this relationship," he said. "We believe that it's a gift that God gave to the Jewish people through our father Abraham, and that connection that we have to the land of Israel is a bond that can never go away."
Tiechtel said over thousands of years, Jews have been dispersed all over the world. Regardless, he said the connection to Israel is strong, like a child to a parent.
Durham said she didn't really feel that connection strongly until she visited Israel. During her senior year of high school, she visited Poland and Israel as part of a
"When I got to Israel, I really understood what it felt like to be in a place that you can be who you are and no one can judge you," she said.
youth organization's trip.
"There were 6 million Jews who never got to experience a place where they could be who they are," she said. "They could be free; they could be Jewish in their own way in Israel.
"I think for every person it's kind of different — some people have a very religious connection, some have a culture connection," she said. "You can have all kinds, but I think most Jews have a connection in different ways."
Durham said in Israel she could see specific places mentioned in the Torah, and every day she is reminded of the land.
She said with Israel Week, members of the SSI hope to share some of their knowledge with anyone on campus who wants to learn more. "[Israel is] a very special place for all people, not just jews, so we wanted to make sure everyone knew that," Durham said.

Two additional dancers wowed the audience with their performances, as well. Alina Kattel, a student from Nepal, mouthed the words to her upbeat music as she performed a traditional Nepali dance. Vanessa Notario, a student from Paraguay, surprised the audience as she balanced a bottle of water on her head for the duration of her dance.
"It's very popular in Paraguay to balance things on your head." Notario said.
Two strings musicians captivated the audience with passionate performances. First, Henry Setton, a freshman from Sao Paulo, Brazil, played the Adagio and Presto movements of Johann Sebastian Bach's Sonata No. 1 in G Minor on violin. Majoring in music, Setton has been playing for 10 years.
He said the Baroque composer is his favorite.
"I'd like people to know more Bach because [his music] is amazing, and I'd like to spread this kind of music," Setton said.
Jose Carlos Lopez, a student from Peru, played three songs on his acoustic guitar that his father taught him to play. In the first, a classical piece, he played rapid triplets in a tremolo. The second was a piece in Huayno style, which is a genre native to Peru, and the third was a Peruvian waltz.
ISA Vice President Alex Calderon, a junior, described the songs as being "very beautiful." Born and raised in Lima, Peru, until age 10, he said the three songs held a special significance to him.
Andrea Ramirez, a student from Paraguay, was the sole spoken word performer of the evening. She recited a love poem in Spanish.
Vocal performances by Alan Martin, a student from Scotland, and Yang Fan, a student from China, gave the crowd goose bumps.
"Some say it's the story of a man and his love; some say it's the story of two soldiers who went off to war," he said. "[..] Others say it's a class warfare thing — some people say the
Martin sang a traditional Scottish song "Loch Lomond." He said the origins of the song are unknown, as is its meaning.

Fan performed two numbers: a Chinese pop song and a folk song she said came from a minor part of China. In the final performance of the evening, she and about a dozen other women modeled a variety of traditional Chinese dresses in a fashion show.
Hollie Hall, social chair of ISA and senior from London, England, said she thought the event went very well.

Woodard said.
This year will be the first time all participants will travel to the KU Field Station for different tours, presentations dinner and more.
Aside from this daytrip, all other courses will be taught on campus.
! Woodard said some attendees have ventured to the Field Station in the past, but never the entire group.
"It's exciting that we'll get to let everyone experience all of the incredible things happening at the Field Station,"
One of these will be a presentation that's been given in 26 countries.
"Some Stupid Seismic Experiments I Have Done," will be taught by Interim Dean of CLAS Don Steeples.
Steeples was a professor at the University for nearly 35 years, and throughout that time he conducted a variety of experiments that led to his
popular presentation.
"Some of the ones that I thought were too stupid to admit I was doing turned out to be unusually interesting and sometimes even groundbreaking." Steeples said.
After Steeples put all of his work together, he received 69 invitations from around the world to come speak about his findings. Now, he will speak here at the University.
Classics Professor and Academic Director of Jewish Studies John Younger will teach
a course on Minoan pottery, which dates back to 1800 B.C. Younger said it's the largest and most complete ancient pottery workshop.
He has been excavating three buildings that contain kilns for firing pottery, while also taking pottery classes at the Lawrence Arts Center. He said his ultimate goal is to reconstruct the original process of making pottery.
"I'll be presenting what I've found for others to learn about, and in turn, I hope that
they can point out something new for me," Younger said.
Younger has taught at Mini College before, and he said some of the adults who took his classes ended up enrolling in the University to take his regular courses during the school year.
"They add an interesting dynamic to my regular classes," Younger said.
Other course topics will include economics, English and art.
Tom Standish and his wife
Kali have been going to Mini College since it started in 2009.
Standish attended the University in the 70s and said he enjoys returning to campus for a week every year.
"We see friends we have met at previous events and continue our lifetime of learning," Standish said.
Registration for Mini College is now open at www.deptsec.

Former Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson founded Earth Day in 1970. Earth Day is April 22.

Each month of the year has its own characteristics. For July it's fireworks and cherry pie. December is snow and holiday celebrations, and April is rain. But this month is about a lot more than just raindrops. Among other things, April marks the first Earth Day, which took place April 22, 1970, in cities across the nation. Today, most Americans are hard-pressed to tell you the date of Earth Day. Events still take place on April 22, but the holiday lacks its inaugural spirit and support. Earth Day needs a face lift.
The widespread awareness campaign is considered the catalyst for numerous environmental regulations such as the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act and, eventually, the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. In participation and
Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin created Earth Day in reaction to the Santa Barbara oil spill and growing concern over the consequences of pollution. An estimated 20 million people participated in the event through rallies and service activities in communities and on campuses.
tangible outcomes, the first Earth Day hit the nail on the head.
Although Earth Day has gone global and witnessed revitalization efforts every decade or so, the event no longer inspires political change. The first Earth Day was just the right combination of media attention,
The first Earth Day gave birth to the modern environmental movement - a movement focused on justice for communities through sound environmental policy. However, the initial success and political fervor of Earth Day has fizzled.
grassroots effort and political alignment.
In order to recreate the initial political success of Earth Day, the ideas behind Earth Day must infiltrate the rest of the year. We can never recreate the inspirational newness of a holiday like Earth Day, but we can certainly adopt the principles on which it is built. Social movements are a two-way street.
We must have both policy change to inspire behavioral change and behavioral change that pushes for policy change. Somewhere along the way, environmental policies and individual behaviors must join forces for widespread social change.
For the case of environmentalism, we must support our current policies and take responsibility through behavioral change. Earth Day can apply every day when we take simple measures like modifying our energy consumption patterns or paying attention to where our food comes from.
Being environmentally minded goes much further than recycling and riding your bike. It certainly goes further than celebrating the environment one day out of the year. Put on your biodegradable party hats and live it up on the 22nd, but don't forget to make Earth Day every day.
5 WAYS TO CELEBRATE
1. Pack a trash-free lunch Instead of throwing your sandwich and chips in a plastic bag, grab a reusable container. Challenge yourself to buy fewer individually wrapped items at the grocery store.
2. Hit up a garage sale
2. Hit up a garage sale instead of running to lkea the next time you need a side table, scavenge local junk shops and garage sales for a one-of-a-kind piece.
3. Surround yourself with plants Several years ago, NASA proved that houseplants remove harmful toxins from the air inside our homes. So load up on ferns and rhodendrons.
4. Be more energy efficient The next time one of your lights goes out, reach for CFL or LED lights. Try line-drying your clothes occasionally rather than using a dryer.
5. Enjoy outside
Take time to breathe in some fresh air and explore at Clinton and Lone Star lakes.
Better yet, ride your bike to your destination.

ASK KANSAN SPECIAL ANISSA
How do you motivate friends to go to the gym?
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritz
When making the decision to hit the gym, it can be difficult to choose the gym, sweaty clothes and water over Netflix, pajamas and pizza. Motivating yourself to go to the gym is a struggle, but motivating your friends to join you can be a whole different uphill battle.
I follow several workout accounts on Instagram and Twitter. Besides making me jealous about the fact that I don't have an eight pack or biceps that look like rocks, these accounts motivate me. When lying on my couch wanting to take a nap and scrolling through social media, I see a picture of a fit 21-year-old woman and suddenly find myself wanting to go to the gym. Tell your friends who you want to get more active to follow fitness accounts for this same reason. Proof that someone in this world can be this fit gives the mindset of, "If they can look like that, then I can, too."
minimum efforts will lead to equally minimum results. But if you put more effort into your workout, the results can be astounding.
If that doesn't work, go to the gym on your own and be proof that working out regularly can and will yield results. One of the things I have found most rewarding and most cruel is that the gym gives back whatever you put into it.
One of the reasons I feel like many people don't go to the gym is because it seems like results are so hard to gain. Having your friends see results on social media is one type of motivation. However, being a real-life example of how going to the gym can benefit your body can give them that extra drive to hit the gym.

The best way to get your friends to go to the gym is not through diet plans or by trying to talk them into it. Show your friends what going to the gym can do for them physically and mentally. Seeing other people on Instagram look amazing in swimsuits and having your friends see your personal gym results will hopefully spark a fire under their glutes to get up and achieve the same results as well.

Comparing majors is a 'temporary ego boost'
Jenny Stern

Comparing majors seems to be a favorite conversation of University students. Sometimes a certain set of coursework is deemed "easy" or the job prospects between two different paths are criticized. By drawing comparisons, people feel better about their own path; but, despite the temporary ego boost from putting other majors down, comparing majors is unfair.
Coursework comparisons are made from one's experience, and for most of us, the only introduction we get to the so-called "easy" major is through a general education requirement, usually at the lowest and most introductory level. We do not experience the upper level classes or the capstone projects that, from my understanding, are difficult for almost all majors.
College majors might not have that much to do with career success anyway. New York Times opinion contributor Zac Bissonnette quotes the conclusion of economist Dan
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Equating one's job prospects can also be deceptive. Yes, some majors lend themselves to higher chances of getting a job, but involvement in extracurricular activities or jobs also contribute to career success.
By comparing majors, most people use coursework as their main basis. While your 300-level class may be more difficult than another major's 300-level class, extracurricular commitments that supplement their major may be just as time-consuming. Even though coursework requirements for majors may be predetermined, your college experience is as challenging and time-consuming as you make it.
Equating job prospects and incomes between majors can be deceptive. Stern says
iel Hamermesh's study at the University of Texas at Austin: "Perceptions of the variations in economic success among graduates in different majors are exaggerated. Our results imply that given a student's ability, achievement and effort, his or her earnings do not vary all that greatly with the choice of undergraduate major."
Comparing majors also makes artificial distinctions between academic disciplines, which can interfere with important interdisciplinary discoveries. My favorite example of this is the recent "rediscovery" of a remedy for MRSA (staph infection) from "Bald's Leechbook," a medical text from the 10th century comprised of head-to toe internal and external disorders of the body. CNN reports that Christina Lee, an expert on Anglo-Saxon society, translated the ancient manuscript of this early medical textbook. Partnering an expert in the humanities with experts in the sciences may be the remedy to one of the most deadly infections facing humans today.
Even your iPhone is a product of interdisciplinary work. When introducing the iPad 2, Steve Jobs said, "It's in Apple's DNA that technology alone is not enough — its technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our heart sing."
According to The Washington Post, Jobs audited calligraphy classes despite having dropped out of college. There is a reason our University requires a sampling of both the humanities and sciences; there is a value to each discipline, and having experts in each field is strategic and necessary for the future.
Every student's major has the potential to require challenging content, inside and outside of the classroom. Whether you are in the sciences, arts or humanities, earning a college degree is a large accomplishment and regardless of your major, your work is valued and appreciated.

@ryanwaynewright
Over the past five years, Middle of the Map Fest has become one of Kansas City's premier art festivals. The festival takes place over three weeks. The first week focuses on film, the second is about art and culture and the final week of the festival is dedicated to music. The music festival will take place from April 22-25.

OK GO

PETER HOOK & THE LIGHT
Traveling all the way from England to perform at Middle of the Map Fest is Peter Hook & the Light. Having formed in 2010, the band is relatively new, but it's no newbie to music.

16-year-old 'Hunger Games' actress makes cultural appropriation video
Lily Grant @lilygrant UDK
On My Cornrows," Stenberg explains how black culture is adopted by people who don't belong to it and gives several examples of cultural appropriation in pop culture.
"What would America be like if we loved black people as much as we love black culture?" Amandla Stenberg asked in her viral video about cultural appropriation. The 16-year-old actress, best known for her role as Rue in "The Hunger Games," made the video for her high school history project. She posted it on Tumblr in January, but it has now captured the Internet's attention.
Stenberg received backlash from some "Hunger Games" fans when she, a black actress, was cast as Rue.
In her 4-minute, 30-second video titled, "Don't Cash Crop
Stenberg centers her argument around black hairstyles and how they've been adopted by white people and glamorized. She uses cornrows as an example, saying that black people wear them as a functional and stylish hairstyle, but when white people wear them, it's considered cultural appropriation. She shows how over time, cornrows have become a high-fashion statement when worn by a white woman. For example, Kendall Jenner wore cornrows in Marie Claire magazine, where they were labeled
a "new. urban hairstyle."
Miley Cyrus "twerks and uses black women as props," in her music videos, according to Stenberg. Katy Perry "uses Ebonics and hand gestures, and eats watermelon while wearing cornrows," in her video for "This Is How We Do." Stenberg said.
"As you can see, cultural appropriation was rampant," Stenberg said.
Stenberg points out that while white celebrities like Mackelmore and Iggy Azalea were rising to fame for imitating black culture in their music and their aesthetic, police brutality against black people was also getting media attention.
While white celebrities
are profiting from adopting "blackness" as a part of their image, some are failing to use their fame as a platform to speak out against racism.
"The line between cultural appropriation and cultural exchange is always going to be blurred, but here's the thing: Appropriation occurs when a style leads to racist generalizations or stereotypes where it originated, but is deemed as high-fashion, cool or funny when the privileged take it for themselves," Stenberg said. "Appropriation occurs when the appropriator is not aware of the deep significance of the culture that they are partaking in."

THE DAILY DEBATE
Which under-the-radar playoff team has the best chance at making a run?
Sean Collins @Seanzie 3
PORTLAND
TRAIL BLAZERS
what makes a playoff team a title contender in the NBA is consistent play and converting plays in late-game situations. As a team that is fluid offensively and shoots well from beyond the arc, the Portland Trail Blazers have the firepower to take down the top teams of the NBA.
Last year the Blazers won their first playoff series for the franchise against the Houston Rockets, proving they aren't a one-year fluke for the playoffs and that they are also dangerous. A team with experience and a taste of victory can be especially dangerous with a stacked roster like Portland.
What gives Portland a great chance to defeat the Grizzlies and other teams in later rounds is its star players and leadership. LaMarcus Aldridge has proved to be a star player and an elite one at his position.
Against the Rockets in 2013-14, Aldridge averaged
29. 8 points and 11.2 rebounds per game including two 40-point games to start the series, according to basketball reference.com. During the regular season in 2013-14, Aldridge averaged 23.1 and went up to 26.2 in the playoffs, according to basketball reference.com. Aldridge has the ability to take control of a game as well as anyone in the league and he proved that last year.
Three-pointers will give the Blazers a huge boost, especially if the team can catch fire. Shooting specialist Aaron Affloal, along with the rest of the Blazers' outside shooters, will be a hassle for the Grizzlies to defend in the first round. In addition to Afflalo, the Blazers have eight rotation players who shoot over 34 percent from the three.
The loss of shooting guard Wesley Matthews during the regular season was a massive blow to the Blazers on the defensive end as Matthews was the team's best on-ball defender. However, big minutes from their backup guard C.J. McCollum have been crucial with McCollum shooting nearly 40 percent from the three.
weapon in the playoffs will be Daman Lillard if he can perform efficiently in late-game situations. Lillard has struggled this year in late-game shooting percentage, but his numbers per game are still strong. The third-year point guard averaged 21 points and six assists per game and earned his second All-Star appearance, according to basketball-reference.com.
Perhaps the Blazers biggest
"A TEAM WITH EXPERIENCE AND A TASTE OF VICTORY CAN BE ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WITH A STACKED ROSTER LIKE PORTLAND."
Lillard finding his shot late in games could be the ultimate demise for the Grizzlies in the first round. The elite scorer that Lillard is combined with Aldridge and the knock-down three-point shooting make up an offense that will be hard to contain.
And if all the pieces come together, watch out Grizzlies.

WASHINGTON WIZARDS
The NBA Playoffs are underway, and while the safe bet would be to pick Golden State or Houston to take home the trophy, it is never safe to sleep on the lower seeds, as a dark horse could emerge.
Edited by Samantha Darling
In 2015, the team to watch out for is the Washington Wizards in the East.
Much like seventh-seeded Michigan State in the East region during the NCAA basketball tournament, the Wizards benefit from weaker competition on their side of the bracket compared to the teams in the Western Conference.
"WHAT MAKES THE WIZARDS DANGEROUS IS THEIR MIX OF YOUNG TALENT AND VETERAN LEADERSHIP."
The Wizards' road to the finals, barring any upsets, would be Toronto, Atlanta
and then Cleveland. While defeating these teams in a seven-game series is no easy task, it is certainly easier than having to go against the top teams in the West.
What makes the Wizards dangerous is their mix of young talent and veteran leadership.
The addition of Paul Pierce before the season could prove to be a key factor in a playoff run. Pierce has 78 playoff wins in his career. The Wizards franchise has 77 throughout its history dating back to 1964.
That kind of experience can do wonders for a team in the postseason, and although Pierce is aging,'he showed in Game One against Toronto that he can still produce on the court in the same way that earned him the 2008 NBA Finals MVP. The veteran put up 20 points for his team in an overtime victory on the road.
In addition to Pierce, the Wizards have one of the most talented starting backcours in the playoffs. John Wall is an absolute machine as a floor general, averaging 17.6 points and 10 assists per game this season.
He is joined by another young guard at the two position, Bradley Beal. The sharp-shooting guard has the
ability to drive as well as shoot and has stepped up his game as of late. If Wall and Beal can remain healthy throughout the series, it could be bad news for their opponents.
Where they are young and skilled at the guard position, they are experienced and smart in the forward position.
The Wizards start Marcin Gortat and Nene at center and power forward, respectively, who give them size and power in the paint. In the team's Game One victory, Nene had a quiet double-double in just 21 minutes of play, which helped the Wizards out-rebound the Raptors by 13.
The solid starting lineup is aided by a bench with a similar mix of veterans and young talent. Drew Gooden and Ramon Sessions provide experience off the bench while younger players like Kevin Seraphin and Otto Porter Jr. have the ability to spark a run while the starters rest.
When it comes to picking a dark-horse team to unexpectedly emerge as champions, the Wizards have the pieces and the schedule to make some noise all the way to June.

Kansas softball unable to get past Tulsa
The Jayhawks (33-8) continued to struggle to push runs across the plate Sunday against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane (29-15), losing their eighth game of the year, 3-2. Two home runs from the Hurricane pushed all three of Tulsa's runs across to secure the victory.
The Jayhawks attempted to
mount a comeback several times throughout the game, but the Tulsa defense managed to clamp down every time Kansas tried to start a rally. Kansas left six runners on base while the Golden Hurricane outhit the Jayhawks 8-6. This was the ninth time the Jayhawks have been outhit by their opposition this season.
Senior infielder Chanin Naudin led the Jayhawks with two hits and one run scored.
Junior infielder Chaley Brickey added one hit. Senior utility Maddie Stein added one hit and scored one run. Freshman catcher Jessie Roane also added a hit for the Jayhawks.
Senior pitcher Alicia Pille got the start for the Jayhawks but was quickly pulled after allowing two runs in the first inning. Freshman pitcher Bryn Houlton came in to replace Pille in the second inning, allowing one run. Neither pitcher was able to record a single strikeout.
Tula pitcher Bailey Erwin improved her record to 14-3 with the victory. She struck out four in three and a third innings of relief work for the Golden Hricane.
The layhawks were able to make some spectacular plays on defense. In the third inning, Naudin grabbed a ground ball out of the dirt and threw the ball across the diamond for the first out of the frame. Junior

NBA Playoffs first-round forecast
Chris Sitek
@ChrisSitek
This year there have been plenty of headlines going into the NBA Playoffs. From the East, the Atlanta Hawks at 60-22 set franchise records in wins and had the best record in the Eastern Conference, according to landofbasketball.com.
Atlanta is the perfect blend of balance and efficiency, as it is six overall in offensive efficiency and all five starters score in double figures. But not only are the Hawks efficient, they also share the ball. They're ranked second in the NBA with a 19.7 assist ratio, according to espn.go.com.
Both the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics made the playoffs for the first time since the 2012-13 season. The Celtics are 20-11 since the All-Star Break and won six-straight games to get into the playoffs as a seventh seed. Boston did this through guard Isaiah Thomas, a dynamic, fluid scorer at 16.4 points-per-game coming off the bench, according to basketball-reference.com.
The Bucks have been solid at 41-41 through their coach Jason Kidd and guard Khris Middleton, a long-range scorer with 13.4 points per game, according to espn.go.com.
On the West side, the Golden State Warriors had the best record in the NBA at 67-15, with an astounding 39-2 home record, according to basketball-reference.com. The Warriors can light up the scoreboard. They led the NBA in offensive points per game at 110 and were led by the Splash Brothers, guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Curry is considered this year's favorite for most valuable player of the year. The New Orleans Pelicans and center Anthony Davis reached the playoffs for the first time since the 2010-2011 season, according to basketball-reference.com.
offs, but in a different uniform this year with the Dallas Mavericks. Rondo, one of the best passing guards in the NBA, with 7.9 assists per game, according to espn.go.com, joined the Mavericks via trade this year after spending the entirety of his career with the Boston Celtics. And who could forget about the San Antonio Spurs making the playoffs for the 18th consecutive year?
The first-round matchups for the East are: Atlanta Hawks vs. Brooklyn Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls vs. Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors vs. Washington Wizards. I have the Hawks winning their series through a balanced set of players sweeping the Nets, 4-0. For the Cavs-Celtics matchup, I have forward Lebron James and the Cavs winning their series, 5-1 over the Celtics.
Guard Rajon Rondo made the play
In the Bulls-Bucks series, I have Chicago as a slight favorite over the Bucks winning their series 4-2, due to the emergence of Bull's guard Jimmy Butler, who has 20 points per game on the season, according to espn.go.com. For the Raptors-Wizards matchup, I have the Wizards led by guards John Wall and Bradley Beal, and forward Paul Pierce winning their series 4-3 against the Raptors. Wall is one of the best passers in the NBA at 10 assists per game, according to basketball-reference com.
The West first-round matchups are:
Golden State Warriors vs. New Orleans Pelicans, Houston Rockets vs. Dallas Mavericks, LA Clippers vs. San Antonio Spurs, and Portland Trail Blazers vs.
Memphis Grizzlies.
23
I have the Warriors and their high-powered offense proving too much for the Pelicans and winning their series 5-1. In a Texas-sized showdown, I have MVP candidate guard James Harden's Rockets winning their series 4-2 over the Mavs. For the Clippers-Spurs series, I have the Spurs pulling the upset, defeating the Clippers 4-2 through the core of guards
tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard, and forward Tim Duncan. Lastly, I have the Portland Trail Blazers winning their
Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers will face the Boston Celtics in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

Sporting KC loses heartbreaker to defending champs
GRIFFIN HUGHES
@GriffinJHughes
After finishing with one win and one draw in a two-game home stand. Sporting Kansas City traveled to the StubHub Center in Los Angeles with confidence and momentum on Saturday.
Awaiting them were the Los Angeles Galaxy, the defending Major League Soccer champions. The Galaxy had taken three points from its last two matches, and it was coming off a win at home against the Seattle Sounders,
even with the absence of one of its key players, forward Robbie Keane. In the end, the Galaxy triumphed over KC 2-1 on a last-minute goal.
"They threw a lot of numbers forward there towards the end and they were trying to pick up second balls," said defender Matt Besler, according to an article on the Sporting KC website.
That energy and physicality was evidenced in the disparity between the two teams' shots on goal: six to two in favor of the Galaxy.

The home team started early, scoring its first goal off a rebound in the eighth minute. Midfielder Baggio Husidic had dropped to the far post of the Galaxy's goal when Stefan Ishizaki penetrated the Sporting KC defense. He fired a left foot shot low at that far post, but goalkeeper Luis Marin deflected it away. Husidic immediately identified the loose ball and buried the rebound to give the
his second start of the 2015 season in this game and he was charged with holding down the defense with Besler.
Galaxy a 1-0 lead. Sporting KC answered back 14 minutes later as forward Krisztián Németh scored his second goal in three matches off an assist from midfielder Benny Feilhaber. It was a rare goal in the run of play that was set up by forward Dom Dwyer's lateral run near the edge of the 18-yard box. He passed a quick ball to Feilhaber, who quickly deflected the pass toward Németh. Németh took his touch and buried the shot to tie the game.
The score stayed knotted
at one until the 94th minute The U.S. National Team and Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez, who had checked in in the 78th minute, scored off a corner kick from midfielder Juninho. The ball whipped into the box and deflected off a couple players. It landed at the feet of Gonzalez, who put it in the net toward the far post to give the Galaxy the 2-1 win.
Sporting KC will take on the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium in its next match next Saturday.

COMMENTARY Derrick Rose and a different game of basketball
Arnie Just
@Amie Just
The past three years have had Chicago fans holding their
tans holding their breath - especially during every second point guard Derrick Rose was on the court.
The Bulls' first game of the 2015 NBA Playoffs was no different. This was Rose's first game back in the playoffs since the dreadful Game One in 2012 — a game Chicago fans like to forget.
To dredge up painful memories, it was late in the fourth quarter when Rose went down, jumping off his left foot while in the paint. You could hear a pin drop in the United Center. It was quieter at that moment than when the building is completely empty. Hours later, it was confirmed that Rose tore his ACL, and the rest is history.
Three years later, Rose laced up his red, white and gray D Rose sneakers and was back on the court of the United Center, wearing the same No. 1 white jersey. He was ready to return.
His first bucket came three minutes into the game, invigorating Chicago fans. But Rose wasn't stopping there.
With just over two minutes remaining in the second quarter, Rose slammed down a two-handed rim rattler that was worthy of a SportsCenter Top 10 nomination. On the next possession, Rose drove on the lane to lay it in, in similar fashion to the Rose of old. Almost immediately, Rose was sent back to the bench because of his limited minutes and did something completely out of character: show emotion to the fans.
Halfway through the third quarter, it was the D Rose show. He drained back-to-back three-pointers. Two and a half minutes later, Jimmy Butler dished a pass to an open Rose, who subsequently nailed another three-pointer.
By the time it was all said and done, Rose notched 23 points and seven assists in 27 minutes of play. What's spooky? Rose put up an eerily similar stat line in the 2012 game: 23 points and nine assists in 37 minutes of play.
Derrick Rose will never be the Derrick Rose of old. He may show flashes of the player he used to be, but he plays a different game now. He's less aggressive on the floor; he's not as flashy as he once was. He's older now and has the scars that tell his past.
After the game Saturday, Rose said, "I only had three expectations: to have fun, to have no expectations and to compete."

Chicago fans will probably never be able to rest easy when it comes to Rose. Every time he falls down for the rest of his career, Benny the Bull will still cover his eyes, and the Chicago faithful will still continue to hold its breath.
Kansas unable to stop hasty Texas offense

BEN BRODSKY/KANSAN
After a walk-off win for the Kansas Jayhawks Saturday night, the Texas Longhorns made sure that wasn't a possibility Sunday with a convincing 16-7 victory in windy conditions to win the series 2-1.
The conditions made it difficult for freshman pitcher Blake Weiman (1-6) to be effective.
"When I walked in here at 8:30 in the morning and the wind was blowing, I knew we were in trouble with a soft lefty (Weiman) pitching," coach Ritch Price said. "I was hoping his change-up was good enough, but unfortunately it wasn't, and anything that got hit in the air had a chance to be a homerun."
For Kansas, freshman shortstop Matt McLaughlin, sophomore catcher Michael Tinsley and senior first baseman Blair Beck all had two hits apiece. McLaughlin had two RBIs, and Tinsley had three. Senior right fielder Dakota Smith added a homerun and two RBIs, but it was not enough to keep up with Texas' offense.
After going more than a month with less than seven
runs in a game, the Longhorns exploded with season highs in runs (16), hits (23) and home runs (five). Junior left fielder Ben Johnson had two home runs and three RBIs. He has five home runs and 26 RBIs on the season.
"We might have made him National Player of the Week today," Price said. "That was an unbelievable show he put in for the Royals' guys (scouts) today. He's not only the fastest guy in college baseball, he's one of the strongest, too."
Junior shortstop C.J. Hinojosa accomplished a rare feat in baseball; He hit for the cycle (at least one single,
After two scoreless innings, the Longhorns struck first in the third inning with doubles by Hinojosa and freshman catcher Michael Cantu to put Texas up 2-0.
double, triple and home run) and added four RBIs.
In the fourth inning, freshman designated hitter Joe Baker ripped the first of five Longhorn home runs to make the score 4-0. However, the Jayhawks answered back with a two-run home run of their own by Tinsley to make it 4-2.
"They had four runs on 10 hits and had dominated the game, and we're only down
two," Price said. "With the wind blowing like it was, I really liked our chances."
The Longhorns answered with an offensive explosion in the fifth inning to put the Jayhawks out of reach. After recording two outs, the Longhorns scored seven runs in the inning on three singles, a double, a triple and a two-run homerun by Johnson to make it 11-2.
"When they put up seven with two outs in the inning, we really got buried," Price said.
The Jayhawks continued to fight and cut the deficit to 11-5 off a two-RBI single by
McLaughlin and a sac-fly by Tinsley. But that would not be enough for the Jayhawks to overcome the Longhorns' offensive onslaught.
The Longhorns scored five more runs in the game to pull away, while the Jayhawks scored just two off Smith's home run in the eighth inning.
The Jayhawks have little time to sulk with instate rival Wichita State coming to Hoglund Ballpark Tuesday at 6 p.m. to conclude the Jayhawks 10-game home stand.
SWEET SIXTEEN
Edited by Lane Cofas
Taking a look at some of the more unique matchups in #FaceOfTheStreak
COLE ALDRICH
CITY OF BENNINGTON
VS
JEFF WITHEY
SIMILAR STYLES:
As the Round of 16 begins, one matchup features a battle of big men who played the game in a similar way. In their final seasons at Kansas, Cole Aldrich and Jeff Withey averaged nearly identical numbers, differing in combined points and rebounds per game by just 1.1 and by less than 0.4 blocks per game.
Interestingly enough, the big men remained similar in their first-round victories, as both defeated wings from the other
player's generation.
However, while the similarities run deep between the two players, they represent two very different things for the layhawks.
Aldrich was a player who peaked as a sophomore, when he posted his career-highs in points and rebounds per game, in addition to field goal percentage. But in his final two seasons, the Jayhawks disappointed in the NCAA Tournament; they never made
it past the Sweet 16
Withey, on the other hand, didn't even look like he fit in with the Jayhawks until his junior season, when he led the Jayhawks all the way to the 2012 National Championship game. His points, rebounds and blocks per game nearly quadrupled between his sophomore and junior seasons, and he would keep getting better, finishing first in the nation in blocks his senior season.
While Cole Aldrich and Jeff Withey played with similar styles, one of the more diverse Round of 16 comes as Darnell Jackson takes on Andrew Wiggins.
HEART VS. FLASH:
Jackson was never the flashiest player, but he wasn't ever asked to be. As a senior on the 2008 National Championship team, Jackson provided a toughness and inside presence the team needed.
As a senior, he averaged 11.2 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, while shooting over 62.5 percent from the field, but his energy and spirit made him one of the most beloved players in Kansas basketball history.
However, on the other side of things, his opponent played in just 28 percent of the games that jackson did, but he was the star in his lone season at KU.
At Kansas, Andrew Wiggins scored 20-or-more points in
In one year, Wiggins accounted for more than 70 percent of the points Jackson scored over his career, but that's the thing. Wiggins only stayed one year; Jackson stuck around for four.
11 different games, cracking the 30-point barrier on two separate occasions. With an array of dazzling dunks, Wiggins also found his way onto the SportsCenter Top 10 time after time.
PETER HARRISON
DARNELL JACKSON
VS
ANDREW WIGGINS
Iverson
RUSSELL ROBINSON
VS
THOMAS ROBINSON
Russell Robinson and Thomas Robinson shared two similarities: A last name and a hard-nosed style of play.
A COMPLETE CONTRAST:
Russell Robinson was a key cog in the 2008 title team, despite the fact that his statistical presence wasn't all that great. From his sophomore year to his senior year, Russell Robinson averaged at least seven points, four assists and two rebounds per game, but his numbers never really peaked.
That's about it.
However, Russell Robinson was a smart player who was a good team defender and would scrap with anyone. He used every inch of his 6-foot-8 wingspan to create problems for opponents on defense, while running the show at point.
However, at a completely different position, Thomas Robinson did things another way. T-Rob was a statistical phenomenon, racking up just under 18 points and 12 rebounds per game in his
junior season, finishing right behind Anthony Davis in player of the year voting.
With a usage rate of 30 percent in his junior season, Thomas Robinson wasn't just a key part of the Kansas offense; he was the Kansas offense. The Jayhawks advanced all the way to the National Championship game, where a rough performance by Robinson left a bad taste in the mouth of Kansas fans, but his play that year was certainly nothing to scoff at.
Watching Aaron Miles and Tyshawn Taylor play point, I don't think there would be any way to confuse the two of them. Miles was a pass-first guard who averaged more than six assists per game all four years at college, whereas Taylor never averaged more than 4.8.
PG PLAY:
However, Taylor posted at least 9.3 points per game in three of his four seasons at KU
Miles also had the advantage on defense, where he recorded 1.5 times as many steals per game as Taylor over his career, and he would even lead the Big 12 in steals in the 2002-03 season.
— something Miles would do just one time.
Taylor, on the other hand, never got above seventh in the league in steals. Instead, he chose to show his aggression on the offensive end.
For Taylor, that meant a ton of points, but it also meant a ton of turnovers. He finished top five in the Big 12 in points per game in his senior season, but he also finished with the second most turnovers in Big 12 history, dating back to 1997-98.
The two played the game quite differently, which is why they combine for one of the most intriguing matchups in #FaceOfTheStreak.

Two professors hired to create new center focused on immigration
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
The University recently hired two sociologists who will lead the way for the creation of a migration and immigration studies center.
Victor Agadjanian and Cecilia Menjivar are both distinguished professors at Arizona State University, and they will begin planning the center this fall.
At this point, it is unknown whether or not an entirely new building will be built, or if the center will be placed with an already existing building. The name for the center is still under consideration as well.
The need for this center comes from Bold Aspirations, the strategic plan that aims to improve the University as a whole. An aspect of the plan calls for growth in the area of human migration and immigration, as well as human trafficking. This center will be dedicated to researching in these areas.
Menjivar

QUICK HITS
In addition to Agadianian and Menjivar, the University will hire two foundation distinguished professors this year to fulfill the plan.
1. The University is creating a center that will be dedicated to researching migration and immigration.
2. Two Arizona sociologists have been hired to create the center.
Agadianian
3. The planning and implementation of the center will begin next fall.
David Smith, chair of the sociology department, said the center will satisfy the plan and allow people at the University to address issues of public concern.
"In the spirit of the Bold Aspirations plan, the issues associated with immigration and migration are not just relative to us, but worldwide," Smith
said.
The center is in its earliest stages of planning, and Smith said the two professors will think carefully on how to proceed with its implementation. Nonetheless, the two professors are in an agreement that the process will be fully participatory, meaning that they will welcome input from both students and faculty.
"They are both extraordinarily accomplished sociologists," Smith said. "Their geographic specialities differ when it comes to research, which allows them to cover a
lot of ground."
Menijvar has done extensive research regarding migration, specifically focusing on those immigrants that are U.S.bound from Central America. She has published six books, ranging in topics from Latin American women to Salvadoran immigrants in America.
"I've examined both how immigrants adapt to living in the U.S. and the problems many face when crossing the southern border to enter the country." Menijivar said.
Menjivar said she thinks this center will be beneficial because of the Kansas' location.
"It's easy to find immigration studies centers on the coasts, but to have one in the center of the country is important," Menjivar said. "It will provide a different angle and shed light on relevant issues."
Menijvar said she is looking forward to collaborate with the faculty here at the University to provide a space for people to focus on important issues.
Agadianian is also looking forward to collaborations.
"I'm excited to build this new center which will hopefully be an important place for new ideas to generate," Agadjanian said. "I want to focus on the migration process and broadly define it while relating it to every other aspect of human and social life."
Agadianian hopes to work with experts from a wide variety of disciplines to really look at migration and immigration from a broad perspective.
"Every place is affected by migration," Agadjanian said. "It's an increasingly global process, so it's important to find solutions to the problems and challenges of this process."
Agadjanian said he is ready to move to Lawrence.
"I've heard a lot of good things about the University's faculty and student body, but especially the life in Lawrence," Agadjanian said.

University research finds motivation behind small college athletic donations
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolNews
A study by a group of University researchers found that donations to small NCAA Division III or National Association Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) athletics programs are largely motivated by rewards gained from donating, rather than a sense of giving back.
"It was more of a transactional relationship instead of this very relationship-based thing."
JORDAN BASS Graduate student
Jordan Bass, a graduate student at the University and assistant professor of health, sport and exercise science, researched the topic with University doctoral student Rebecca Achen and Brian Gordon, a student at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
The study also showed why people choose to donate and why they choose to stop donating to their programs.
"We thought it would really be 'I want to give because I
have a strong attachment to the school,' that's what we've seen in the literature before," Bass said. "It was more of a transactional relationship instead of this very relationship-based thing."
Bass said the difference between funding for large schools like the University of Kansas and smaller Division III and NAIA schools lies in the consistency of funds and size of staffs.
Although the research focused on small schools, the team's discoveries highlighted the process of donations and revenue at larger schools as well.
"A school like KU has money consistently coming in from bowl games or [the NCAA Tournament]," he said. "Those are going to be consistent sources of revenue and these schools have a lot more expenditures."
Bass said at some of the small schools he researched, the school's sports staff would only consist of four people who weren't coaches, like sports information or marketing directors.
Because the schools have fewer resources than Division I schools, money that comes in from donations is much more valuable. But Bass said
QUICK HITS
1. The University group's study found that donations to small collegiate athletics programs are no longer based on one's affection toward a college.
2. Donations are more essential to a small college's funding than a large Division I program.
3. The study found that people stop donating because of an inadequate return on their investment in the university.
the reason people donate is changing.
"I have been shown that my love is only as deep as my pockets," one respondent wrote for the study, according to a University press release, acknowledging the idea that many donors feel like the schools don't care about them and only care about the donations they make.
The press release also said "benefits of giving, from touring facilities to something as simple as receiving a branded license plate frame, were the most cited reasons people liked giving. They also discussed the positive feeling of helping and being affiliated with the university as top benefits."
The study found that one of the reasons people stop donating is they don't receive
enough return on their investment. Among the reasons people donated were better seats for season tickets or gifts from the university. Bass said these benefits could also be small things like license plate covers.
According to the release, there are ways to win back donors and they can be small.
The study focused only on small donors, because large donors tend to get more attention and be less difficult to keep donating.
"[The reason people donate] has changed over time," Bass said. "You don't really have to give to be associated now. We can just follow from afar and have this connection without having to have a physical show that [a fan is] associated with a university."

Brandon Schneider, former coach at Stephen F. Austin State University, will replace Bonnie Henkinson as coach of the women's basketball team.
Brandon Schneider hired as women's basketball coach
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmantheman2011
Kansas Athletics announced Monday that Stephen F. Austin State University coach Brandon Schneider has been hired as the new women's basketball coach at the University of Kansas, after SB Nation and the Lawrence Journal World published multiple reports on Sunday.
"Brandon is an excellent fit for Kansas," KU Athletics Director Sheahan Zenger said in a press release.
Schneider will be officially announced as the new coach at a press conference at 10 a.m. today at Allen Fieldhouse.
Neiderle just finished his fifth season at Stephen F. Austin, where the Ladyjacks won back-to-back Southland Conference regular season championships. Following their 2014 regular season championship, Neiderle guided the Ladyjacks to the Women's Basketball Invitational championship games, where they were the runner-up. In 2015, the team lost in the first round of Southland Conference Tournament, but qualified for the Women's NIT, where they didn't make it past the first round.
During his time as coach at
Stephen F. Austin, Schneider combined an overall record of 108-49 in his five seasons. His best was the 2012-13 season, when the Jackrabbits were 28-2 and 17-1 in conference play.
During Schneider's tenure at Emporia State, his team qualified for the NCAA Division II National Tournament 11 times, made it to the Final Four twice and won the whole tournament in 2010.
His father, Bob, was also a successful coach in the world of women's basketball. He won more than 1,000 women's basketball games in a coaching career that lasted 43 years. In 1988, he coached West Texas A&M to a Division II National Championship game.
The Kansas position is not Schneider's first coaching job in the state of Kansas. Prior to Stephen F. Austin, Schneider was the coach at Emporia State. He spent 12 seasons at Emporia and produced a 306-72 record, making him the winningest coach in program history.
"We are confident that Brandon's teams at KU will display the same tenacity and competitiveness that his teams showed at Emporia State and Stephen F. Austin," Zenger said.

Student wins Truman Scholarship, receives call from chancellor
University student Ashleie Koehn was chosen as the University's 18th Truman Scholar on Wednesday. According to a University press release, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little told Koehn the news over a Skype call. Koehn currently studies Russian and economics in Kyrgyzstan.
"At first, I thought she was just calling to congratulate me on the Udall [Scholarship]." Koehn said. "It had a surreal quality, being here in Kyrgyzstan and taking a break from helping my host family ... to Skype with the chancellor."
Koehn is a junior from Burns, studying environmental studies, global international studies and economics. She plans to work toward a Master of Science in Environmental Economics.

In this photo is a flock of turkeys at a Minnesota poultry farm. The country's poultry industry may have to live with a deadly bird flu strain for several years the U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief veterinary officer said April 16 on a visit to Minnesota, the state hit hardest by outbreaks that have cost Midwest producers over two million turkeys and chickens.
Bird flu confirmed at farm in Iowa
DETHAMN HANNI ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAVID PITT Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa — Up to 5.3 million hens at an Iowa farm must be destroyed after the highly infectious and deadly bird flu virus was confirmed, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday.
The farm in northwest Iowa's Osceola County has nearly 10 percent of the state's egg-laying hens. Iowa is home to roughly 59 million hens that lay nearly one in every five eggs consumed in the country.
Egg industry marketing experts say it's too early to predict the impact on prices, but say it's unlikely to immediately cause a spike or a shortage, because number of chickens that are to be euthanized is a little more than 1 percent of the nation's egg layers.
"Don't panic," poultry industry consultant Simon Shane said. "Let's wait and see."
If the disease keeps spreading and 20 million to 30 million hens are infected, consumers could start seeing prices rise, said Shane, who also an adjunct professor of poultry science and veterinary medicine at North Carolina State University.
Several Midwestern states have been affected by the outbreaks, costing turkey and chicken producers nearly 7.8 million birds since March.
the virus was first detected in Minnesota, the country's top turkey-producing state, in early March and the H5N2 virus has since shown up on commercial farms in Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. On Monday, the virus was confirmed in another turkey farm in Minnesota and a backyard flock of
mixed birds in Wisconsin.
The Osceola County farm experienced a high number of chicken deaths and sent samples to a USDA lab at Iowa State University for confirmation. It's the first chicken farm in Iowa to be affected by the virus, which was confirmed at a turkey farm in the state last week.
The chickens at the large
farm reside in more than 20 houses, said Dustin Vande Hoef, a spokesman for Iowa Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey.
"It's a huge challenge for this producer and highlights the importance of biosecurity and other producers trying to take steps to limit the spread of this disease," he said.
Vande Hoef said there is no
food safety risk.
The Center for Disease Control and the Iowa Department of Public Health considers the risk to people from these infections in wild birds, backyard flocks and commercial poultry, to be low. No human infections with the virus have ever been detected.
Kansas cuts forecast for taxes by $187M
JOHN HANNA Associated Press
Kansas officials on Monday cut their projections for tax collections from now through June 2016 by $187 million, which will force Gov. Sam Brownback and legislators to consider larger tax increases to balance the budget.
The new forecast also reduced the official projection for total tax collections in the fiscal year beginning in July 2016 by $88 million, or
State officials, legislative researchers and university economists issued a new fiscal forecast, revising one made in November. The Republican governor and GOP-dominated Legislature must use the new, more pessimistic projections in finishing work on a proposed state budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
The forecasters reduced the estimate for total tax collections for the current fiscal year by nearly $88 million, or 1.5 percent, to about $5.7 billion. They also cut the tax estimate for the next fiscal year by nearly $100 million, or 1.7 percent, also making it almost $5.9 billion.
10112
about 1.4 percent, making it about $6 billion.
before the new forecast, top Republican legislators had been working on budget proposals requiring general tax increases of about $150 million a year.
The state's budget problems arose after Brownback successfully pushed legislators in 2012 and 2013 to slash personal income taxes in an effort to stimulate the economy. The state cut its top rate by 29 percent and exempted 281,000 business owners and 53,000 farmers from income taxes altogether.
Brownback has not backed off those policies, though he's proposed slowing down future personal income tax cuts. He's also pushing to raise alcohol and tobacco taxes and has said he's open to boosting the state's sales tax.
Legislators are scheduled to reconvene April 29 to wrap up business for the year.
Before the new forecast, tax collections for the current fiscal year, through March, were $43 million less than anticipated, a shortfall of about 1.2 percent.
CORRECTION
The article "Professors weigh in on Kansas' new EPA regulations" that was printed in The University Daily Kansan on Wednesday, April 15, incorrectly referred to restrictions on carbon monoxide, and should have referred to restrictions on carbon dioxide. The regulations will reduce carbon dioxide emissions, not carbon monoxide.

Willie Nelson to release own marijuana brand
NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS Associated Press
SPOKANE, Wash. — Country music star Willie Nelson announced plans Monday to roll out his own brand of marijuana, capitalizing on his association with pot and the unofficial stoner holiday, 4/20.
The move makes the 81-year-old "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die" singer the latest celebrity to jump into the marijuana marketplace.
"Willie's Reserve" will be grown and sold in Colorado and Washington, where recreational pot is legal. Nelson said in a statement that he's "looking forward to working with the best growers in Colorado and Washington to make sure our product is the best on the market."
Nelson joins other famous pot personalities, including rapper Snoop Dogg, who endorses vaporizing products; singer Melissa Etheridge, developing marjiana-infused wine; and reality TV star and self-help guru Bethenny Frankel, who is working on a strain of Skinnygirl weed that wouldn't leave users with the munchies.
"Like other industries, branding and creative marketing is a big part of supporting legal cannabis products," said Vicki Christophersen, director of the Washington CannaBusiness Association.
Christophersen said these connections continue a long tradition of celebrities endorsing the use of marijuana — even decades before it became legal for adult use.
Nelon, who was not available for comment Monday, is among those with well-established connections to cannabis.
He's been a decriminalization advocate and has been busted for pot possession several times. He also appeared in the stoner comedy "Half Baked."
Washington and Colorado made pot legal for adult use in 2012. Oregon, Alaska and the District of Columbia also have removed legal restrictions, and more states are expected to vote on legalization next year.

Nelson announced Monday he plans to roll out his brand of marijuana called "Willie's Reserve," that will be grown and sold in Colorado and Washington, two states where recreational use of the drug is legal.
The moves have created marketing opportunities, but links to celebrity smokers aren't always considered a positive.

VICKI CHRISTOPHERSON Director, Washington CannaBusiness Association
This year, the National Cannabis Industry Association decided to drop actor Tommy Chong — co-star of the "Cheech and Chong" comedy team — as it prepared to lobby Congress for pot-friendly regulations. The group wanted to move past the stoner stereotypes they say Chong represents in favor of positioning pot as similar to fine wine.
Others see it differently, however.
Chong has an endorsement deal with Marisol Therapeutics, a pot shop in Pueblo, Colorado, that sells a strain in his name.
Store owner Mike Stetler called Chong marijuana's equivalent of the Marlboro Man, and when it comes to pot pitchmen, he asked, "Who better?"

Students should utilize farmers markets
Matthew Clough
It's 6:30 a.m. on a Saturday. If you're a college student,you're almost certainly sound asleep, exhausted from celebrating the end of the school week. But in downtown Lawrence, local vendors are setting up stands to sell their goods, and community members are beginning to congregate.The farmers market season is just starting in many communities,and students are missing out on this unique opportunity.
10
Since many college students are busy and on a budget, they opt to do their shopping at grocery stores such as Walmart or Dillons. While these businesses offer convenience and low prices, they fall short in one major category: local sustainability. Students need to understand the benefits of supporting local businesses, including those at the farmers market.
and groups than corporate businesses.
According to a research reported in USA Today, supporting local businesses also keeps money in the consumer's area. On average for every $100 spent locally, $68 stays in the community. This is more than the $43 that remains when the money is spent at local branches of chain stores. The long-term benefits of strengthening the community far outweigh the costs of spending a little bit more at the farmers market.
More than anything, shopping locally strengthens the community both personally and financially. Buying from those in your city creates an interpersonal bond, especially if the visits are repeated and personal relationships can be established. Local business owners also tend to donate more to local programs
Farmers markets also offer goods unique to their specific shopping experience. Produce, meats and other food items aren't the only things being sold. For example, the Lawrence Farmers Market has vendors that sell handmade wool hats, handcrafted soaps and pottery. The Kansas City's Historic City Market has more than 140 vendors and offers fresh-cut flowers and various craft items from local artisans. No two markets have the same experience, and each market can say something different about its city's unique culture.
The Lawrence Farmers Market opened for the 2015 season on April 11. The market

7. The market is open Saturdays from 7-11 a.m.
The food available at farmers markets is also more likely to be grown organically, meaning there are no pesticides or other harmful, contaminated products being used. This is clearly a health benefit, although the organic movement is also becoming a social phenomenon. As people realize the importance of eating healthier and going green, farmers markets have been rising in popularity.
In the past five years,the number of U.S. farmers
markets has nearly doubled. In 2013, there were 8,144 farmers markets listed in the national directory and 4,685 were listed in 2008. Buying locally is turning into a new American tradition, for both health and community reasons.
Students should try shopping locally, especially at establishments such as the
Lawrence Farmers Market. It's true that products may be slightly more expensive than at a chain grocery store, but for those who already buy organic items, prices are comparable. Even so, the long-term benefits to a community of shopping locally and building a culture should be preserved and continued in the years to come.
The Lawrence Farmers Market is located at 824 New Hampshire St. Parking information and operation hours can be found at lawrencefarmersmarket.com.

Removing teaching qualifications hurts schools
Cecilia Cho
@ceciliacho92
Before we moved on to pursuing higher education, we had to work through 12-13 years of schooling (if you're counting kindergarten). We encountered several different teachers who challenged and inspired us, and probably a few that drove us crazy. But what is one thing all of our past teachers have in common? They were licensed in the courses they taught and were properly equipped to take on those classrooms.
In 2013, Bill 2319 proposed the establishment of innovative districts in Kansas; meaning 29 school districts in the state of Kansas could be excused from hiring teachers that meet "certain state laws in pursuit of innovation," the Lawrence Journal-World
reports. For example, teachers with a journalism degree can teach different sections such as drama or speech classes. This year, the Kansas State Board of Education will finally decide whether or not to approve Bill 2319.
Currently there are six districts seeking to create a "Specialized Training Certificate" for those who wish to teach but have not obtained the proper licensing to do so in a particular subject. In order to receive the STC, one must pass a background check and "approval from the local and state school boards." The districts, called the Coalition of Innovative Districts, are Kansas City, Marysville, Hugoton, Blue Valley, Concordia and McPherson. The reason behind dismissing the requirement of having a license in teaching is so "rural western districts" such as Hugoton can overcome "the challenge of recruiting teachers," according to the Lawrence Journal-World. In addition, some believe that having "more flexible regulations" will proliferate the quality of education students receive. For urban districts, such as
Blue Valley, proponents argue that "more flexibility would increase innovation and education quality."
This is a complete disservice to current educators in our state, as well as students in these districts who will potentially have to deal with these "innovations." Propo-
ers in certain districts is problematic, but if this were an issue of dwindling physicians, dentists or lawyers, would we be proposing the same structure? Would you feel comfortable having a general physician perform surgery on you? Would you allow your orthodontist to give you a root
"WE MUST BE CAREFUL IN THE DECISIONS WE MAKE REGARDING OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS' EDUCATION."
nents of Bill 2319 are basically saying that people can teach whichever subject they desire, as long as they have a clean record. Using the earlier example, having a background in journalism, which may tie in with speech and some drama, is not the same as being able to teach a whole course on speech or drama. All three subjects can borrow ideas from one another, but they are not substantive enough to properly teach students at the full capacity that they deserve to learn.
Having a shortage of teach-
It doesn't make sense to strive for an increase in student's education by decreasing the qualifications a teacher must have. I know proponents
canal? Would you go to a lawyer specializing in elderly care if you were seeking a lawsuit for environmental reasons? No. All of these jobs have loose knowledge of different disciplines in their respective fields, but we have specialized positions for a reason. Similarly, students should not be forced to settle for their education just because Kansas needs to fill up job space.
are not wishing to hinder student's academics intentionally, but if this bill passes, this may happen as an unintentional result. Teachers who are not specialized in certain courses may veer from less creative and effective methods of teaching, and instead may use more generic, straight out-of-the-book teaching styles due to their unfamiliarity in the subject. Think back on your K-12 experience: who are the teachers you most remember? Were they the ones who taught everything by the book? Or were they the ones who went above and beyond in the classroom because they were teaching a subject they were truly passionate and knowledgeable about?
We must be careful in the decisions we make regarding our future generations' education. Proponents must not be hasty to make such a detrimental decision and they need to see all of the potential issues that may arise, instead of aiming to solve just one problem.

Miranda Lambert performs at the 50th annual Academy of Country Music Awards at AT&T Stadium on Sunday in Arlington, Texas. Lambert went home with four awards at the end of the night, including Female Vocalist of the Year.
Everything's bigger in Texas, even the Academy of Country Music Awards. The 50th anniversary of the award show turned out to be the most-attended live awards show, and it was studded with plunging necklines, cowboy boots, pop-art pants and, of course, Taylor Swift.

Hosted by heartthrobs Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton, the show kicked off with "Let the Good Times Roll," performed by Darius Rucker and Jake Owens. More than 20 performances took the stages Sunday night.
Miranda Lambert was up for eight awards, leading the pack, and took home four of them on Sunday night: Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year for "Automatic" and a 50th Anniversary Milestone Award. Her popularity was evident on Twitter as well, with users — like Perez Hilton — tweeting kudos and compliments like wildfire.

Hilarious duo Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara, stars of the upcoming movie "Hot Pursuit," introduced Lambert as she stepped on stage to claim her 50th Anniversary Milestone award — the fourth award she took home.
Alan Jackson's performance of "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)", his song about Sept. 11, 2001, was enough to send chills down your spine. It was widely regarded as one of the most touching events of the evening — CBS tweeted, "Country music doesn't get much more classic than @OfficialJackson."
Taylor Swift, who has been largely absent from the country music scene as of late, was absent from the red carpet as well. After her recent announcement that her mother, Andrea Swift, was battling cancer, it was even more heartwarming to see the mother-daughter embrace after she presented her daughter with a Milestone Award.
Swift's mother described watching her "tangle-haired little girl" who loved to "write a song, tell a story" grow up.
Swift thanked the country music industry for supporting her pop album, saying
thank the entire music community for taking such good care of her," she said.
"I am a very proud mom, so I'd like to thank the ACMs for honoring her in that way, but I'd also like to
she's "so happy to learn to write songs in a town like Nashville, I'm so grateful that I learned what hard work is from my heroes who are all sitting here and I'm

SC paper wins Pulitzer for domestic violence reporting
JENNIFER PELTZ
NEW YORK — The Post and Courier of Charleston, South Carolina, won the Pulitzer Prize for public service Monday for an examination of the deadly toll of domestic violence, while The New York Times collected three awards and the Los Angeles Times two.
Associated Press
The Seattle Times staff took the breaking news award for its coverage of a mudslide that killed 43 people and its exploration of whether the disaster could have been prevented.
The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal both won investigative reporting prizes, the Times for an examination of lobbyists' influence on state attorneys general, the Journal for detailing fraud and waste in the Medicare payment system.
The Times' coverage of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa won Pulitizers for international reporting and feature photography, and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch was honored in the breaking news photography category for its images of the racial unrest touched off by the deadly police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
The Washington Post took the national reporting prize for exposing security lapses that spurred an overhaul of the Secret Service.
The Pulitzer judges also recognized less widely known stories, such as The Post and Courier's exploration of 300 women's deaths in the past decade. The paper shed light on a legal system in which firsttime offenders face at most 30 days in jail for a domestic violence beating but can get five years in prison for
writing.
Since the series was published, state lawmakers have proposed tougher penalties for domestic violence, and Gov. Nikki Haley created a task force to investigate the problem.

Kathy Best told staffers. "We gave people accurate information when rumors and inaccuracies were swirling all over the place. We asked hard questions in the moment. When public officials were saying, 'Oh, this was unforeseen,' we showed that it was not unforeseen."
the commentary prize went to the Houston Chronicle's Lisa Falkenberg, who examined the case of a man wrongfully convicted of killing a police officer, among other problems in the legal and immigration systems. Kathleen Kingsbury of The Boston Globe was recognized for editorial writing; she looked at restaurant workers' low wages and examined the toll of income inequality.
Adam Zyglis of The Buffalo News won the editorial cartooning prize for his look at such issues as immigration, gun control and problems in the VA hospital system.
The Pulitzer, established by newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer and first given out in 1917, are American journalism's highest honor.

While the winners were largely drawn from oldmedia names, "the digital component of their work is becoming more and more sophisticated," prize administrator Mike Pride said. "Newspapers know where the future is and, in some cases, are doing really good jobs at it."

Email: Affleck asked PBS to not reveal slave-owning ancestor
BOSTON — Ben Affleck requested that the PBS documentary series "Finding Your Roots" not reveal he had a slave-owning ancestor, according to emails published online by whistleblower site WikiLeaks, and the information never appeared on the program.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PBS and Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates, host of the show that traces the ancestry of well-known guests, said in separate statements that they didn't censor the slaveowner details. Instead, more interesting ancestors of the actor emerged and Gates chose to highlight them in October's segment featuring Afleck, they said in the statements posted on the PBS website.
In Affleck's case, "we decided to go with the story we used about his fascinating ancestor who became an occultist following the Civil War. This guy's story was totally unusual: we had never discovered someone like him before," he said.
Affleck's rep did not immediately respond to an email request for comment Saturday. The award-winning actor and filmmaker ("Good Will Hunting" and "Argo") has also organized humanitarian work in Africa.
"For any guest, we always find far more stories about ancestors on their family trees than we ever possibly could use," Gates said in an emailed statement to The Associated Press. He said finding slave-owning ancestors was very common in the series, and noted Ken Burns and Anderson Cooper were two guests with slave-owner relatives.
The email chain between Gates and Sony Pictures co-chairman and chief executive Michael Lynton was part of a trove of hundreds of thousands of emails and documents from last year's Sony hack that WikiLeaks put into a searchable online archive on Thursday.
In their email exchange, Gates asked Lynton for advice on how to handle Affleck's request.
"Here's my dilemma: confidentially, for the first time, one of our guests has asked us to edit out something about one of
his ancestors — the fact that he owned slaves. Now, four or five of our guests this season descend from slave owners, including Ken Burns. We've never had anyone ever try to censor or edit what we found. He's a megastar. What do we do? Gates wrote on July 22, 2014.

censoring the information is a bad idea, with Gates
writing later on July 22 that if the public learned of it, "It would embarrass him and compromise our integrity. I think he is getting very bad advice" and adding: "Once we open the door to censorship, we lose control of the brand."
Affleck was never mentioned in the exchange of emails between Gates and Lynton; instead he's referred to as a "megastar" and "Batman." He was filming "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of the Planet."
When the segment aired Oct. 14, Gates focused on the occultist, a Revolutionary War relative and Affleck's mother, who was a "freedom rider" in 1964.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Will Kansas baseball make an NCAA Regional appearance?
Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes
YES
It's very difficult to see the Kansas baseball team which sits at 121st in the country with a 16-24 record overall in postseason play. If the season ended today, the last team in would be California, and it has a 23-11 record, playing in the third-best conference in the country.
With a month left in the season, it seems unlikely the Jayhawks can even get above .500, let alone make an NCAA Regional Tournament appearance for a second straight year.
However, since the beginning of the season when the Jayhawks were swept by the LSU Tigers, coach Ritch Price's team has improved mightily, the pitchers have gotten more experience, and, as a result, Kansas has picked up more crucial wins. The Jayhawks took the series against Oklahoma State (which was ranked ninth at the time), they took games from Texas Tech and Utah, and, just recently, they stole
one from Texas.
Their remaining schedule also looks promising if they continue in that form. In the rest of April, Kansas faces Wichita State — which it has already beaten — West Virginia and Arkansas-Pine Bluff, none of which has more than 22 wins.
in the country at getting the best out of his players in crucial times, and his experience will be useful to the young pitching staff, most of whom have never pitched in crunch time at the end of the season.
"...THE JAYHAWKS HAVE ENOUGH MOMENTUM AND ENOUGH TALENT TO MAKE ONE FINAL PUSH TOWARDS A SECOND-STRAIGHT NCAA REGIONAL."
Baylor and TCU await them once May starts, neither of which will be easy wins by any means, but we've seen Kansas can beat top-tier teams when its pitching is on. Price is as good as any coach
With strong performances in those series, the Jayhawks can find themselves right near.500 and with plenty of momentum heading into the home stretch.
Once Blair Beck, Connor McKay and the other seniors realize that this is their last go-round at Kansas, they'll take the offense up a notch an offense that has already hit more than 20 home runs this season.
It's all a snowball effect triggered by Price's motivation and the experience of the team's seniors. Now that they have wins against top-10 teams and some of the best teams in the Big 12, the Jayhawks have enough momentum and enough talent to make one final push towards a secondstraight NCAA Regional.
Edited by Emma LeGault
When Ben Krauth and Drew Morovick are on, they can contest any lineup in the country. With Stephen Villins seemingly out of his slump, Kansas has a dominant closer who can shut down the game on the back end.
Dylan Sherwood
@dmantheman2011
NO
As much success as Kansas baseball bad last year this
had last year, this season has been a swing in the opposite direction. With more underclassman taking on bigger roles, Kansas has not clicked on a good everyday starting lineup.
Currently the layhawks are 16-24 on the season and 4-8 in Big 12 Conference play — a similar conference record before Kansas started its run toward the top of the Big 12 last season. This season, Kansas had to replace pitchers and other key players from last year's squad, which qualified for the Louisville Regional but ended the season with a loss to Kentucky.
McKay, Dakota Smith, Blair Beck, Justin Protocacio and junior Colby Wright.
Michael Suiter, Jordan Piche', Frank Duncan, Robert Kahana and Ka'iana Eldredge were all major contributors on that team. All but Suiter were seniors. All but Eldredge were selected in last year's MLB Draft. Important players back from last year's team include seniors Connor
However, this season, all three weekend starters are brand new. Senior Drew Morovick went from the midweek starter to the Saturday starter. Morovick is one of the main pitchers that the Jayhawks still have from last year's squad. You can also add sophomore reliever Stephen Villines to the equation, but Villines is limited in playing time as a reliever.
"THE OFFENSE WAS EXPECTED TO BE THE STRENGTH OF THE TEAM."
Sophomores Joven Afenir and Michael Tinsley have made their way into the regular Kansas lineup. Freshman Matt McLaughlin has been the biggest factor for the Jayhawks as the everyday third baseman and mid-week shortstop when Protacio needs rest to play a weekend series.
The offense was expected to be the strength of the team. But even with the
emergence of these young players, Kansas has still had games where the offense disappeared. In the rubber match against Texas last Sunday, Kansas offense was asked to carry a depleted pitching staff. With windy conditions and a freshman starter in the finale, it was up to the Kansas lineup to knock off the far inferior Longhorns on the offensive end.
Coming into the finale, Texas had the last-ranked offense in the conference in terms of batting average, whereas Kansas has consistently ranked toward the top. But it was the Longhorns who took advantage of an inexperienced Jayhawks pitching staff, out-hitting them 23-11 with the aid of five home runs.
Because of its inexperience, Kansas does not seem to be going far this year, with Baylor and TCU still to play on the schedule. It would not be surprising if Kansas started to make a run this late to gear up for postseason baseball, but with this team it just doesn't feel like it's going to happen.

"When I'm playing softball, I'm always just focused on trying to get this program to be a household name, getting it to be a place where everyone wants to go because we have a great softball program and a place that wins and makes the postseason," added Stein.
Stein came to Kansas from El Reno High School in Oklahoma City, where she was a fouryear letterwinner, and lead her team to four-straight regional championships.
"She's been really consistent for us and has grown every year into an unbelievable leader, not only for our team, but for the entire athletic department," added Smith.
Stein has been taking a mentorship role with younger players this season.
Senior utility player Maddie Stein rounds second base during the first game of the series against Texas on March 27. Stein will leave behind a legacy that will be hard to compete with, recording 148 RBIs in her career.

"I just want to try to teach others great ways to help other people and help them become a better softball player. That's what the girls in front of me have done and I just want to make a difference," said Stein.
Coming to the University was an easy choice, according to Stein.
Stein's teammates have noticed her leadership abilities at work throughout her career.
As a senior at the University, Stein has been looked to as a leader throughout the season. That has been the case for her throughout her career as a Jayhawk.
"I just loved the college experience. I had narrowed it down to a few colleges and just coming here to KU, the campus was beautiful and the way the coaches treated me and the support staff around KU, it just seemed like such a family-friendly atmosphere."
"It's been fun watching her grow. Her freshman season, she didn't start for half of it and kept working hard and kept doing extra. She was very determined and she got her shot and ran with it." Kansas coach Megan Smith said.
--a difference perspective on the business of college athletics.
"Looking back, I just want to feel like I put my whole heart and soul into what I was trying to do here."

"She's really helped me be the player that I am today. She pushes me when she's in the lineup and on defense she's always there," said junior Chaley Brickey. "She just has a happy character to her. When you see her on the field, it just puts a smile on her face and when she's yelling, you know that she means it. You want to fight for her just like she's fighting for you."
On Jan.17, Stein and 14 other student athletes from other schools had the opportunity to speak at the 2015 NCAA Convention in Washington, D.C.
Stein and the other student athletes helped adjust policy on a variety of issues: cost of attendance and scholarships, concussion management requirements, as well as a discretionary student-athlete assistance fund to allow student-athletes to borrow against potential future earnings.
Stein, who would eventually like to work in college athletics, said that attending the convention helped to give her
"I definitely think it's a lot more political than what I wanted to believe it was. But after being at the convention, I realized that there are a lot of people who think genuinely about athletics and why they are involved within it," said Stein.
After graduating, Stein hopes to continue to play softball while working her way toward a career within the business side of athletics.
"It definitely reassured why I want to be in athletics and that the people I'll be around
and working with for the next 20-or-so years will be people who really have the heart for what they're doing and helping student athletes," added Stein.
Stein plans to earn a master's in public administration at the University of Oklahoma when she finishes up this May.
"Hopefully, I can play professional softball if that is in my cards, I would love to continue to do that until I can't play anymore." Stein said.
Statistically, Stein will be remembered as one of the best hitters in recent Kansas softball memory. Her next goal it to lead the Jayhawks to a College World Series title in her hometown of Oklahoma City.
However, Stein's record book appearances and stats aren't the only that she wants to be remembered for.
"I want to feel like I made an impact and helped do something for the program and for the school. Looking back, I just want to feel like I put my whole heart and soul into what I was trying to do here. When people think of me, they think of a person who genuinely cared about what she was doing," said Stein.

Jayhawks host in-state foe Shockers tonight
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
Kansas baseball will host Wichita State tonight for the second and final game of the teams' two-game series.
The layhawks (16-24) came out on top of an offensive battle 13-12 against the Shockers (14-25) in their first meeting at the beginning of April in Wichita.
In their first meeting, the Jayhawks wasted no time in taking a lead as they would go up 5-0 in the middle of the first inning. However, even with the hot start, the Jayhawks found themselves down by four runs with just three innings remaining. Kansas tied the game to force extra innings and prevailed in the 11th inning with a sacrifice bunt by senior outfielder Dakota Smith. There were a total of 30 hits combined from both teams.
Since their previous meeting, the Shockers have found themselves in a slump. The Shockers recovered from their loss to the Jayhawks by
winning a home series against Indiana State. The two wins Wichita State recorded in that series are joined by just one other win since playing Kansas. The Shockers have played 11 games and lost eight of them, including one against a Big 12 opponent, the Texas Longhorns.
Kansas is coming off of a weekend series with Texas that was packed full of action. Texas took the first game of the series in a heartbreaker which saw five extra innings of play The Jayhawks recovered by earning a 5-4 win in a walk-off fashion after senior outfielder Connor McKay hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth inning.
"Me and my teammates have stuck through a lot of tough stuff this year," McKay said. "We're really dialing through all of this adversity we're facing, and that [home run] meant a lot to me."
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, the rubber match was all for the Longhorns as they left Hoglund Ballpark with a 16-7 win.
"We need to figure things out on our off day and bounce back Tuesday night against Wichita State, which is a huge game," said senior infielder Justin Protacio.
Kansas has gone 5-7 since playing Wichita State, and although the losing record might be unpleasing to the eye, there are positives as it includes a sweep of New Mexico and a series win against then No.9 Oklahoma State.
Tuesday's game against the Shockers will be the only midweek game for the Jayhawks as well as the last game of the 10-game homestand before returning to conference play.
"It's an in-state rivalry, and we've won the last five games and our focus is trying to make it six," Protacio said.
Protacio and his teammates will look to get the sixth win in a row against the Shockers at Hoglund Ballpark with the first pitch scheduled for 6 p.m.

THE MORNING BREW
NHL star Connor McDavid is ready for primetime
A new legend in hockey history is beginning to form, and his name is Connor McDavid. McDavid is the overwhelming to favorite to be taken with the number one pick in the upcoming NHL Draft, which makes serse, considering his skills have been compared by many to the great Sidney Crosby.
McDavid entered the Ontario Hockey League when he was only 15. The Erie Otters picked him first overall in the OHL. During his first year with the Otters he had a total of 66 points and was named the 2013 OHL Rookie of the Year.
Now, three years later, he has completed his final season with the Otters, and he went out with a bang. McDavid finished the season with 44 goals and 76 assists; for a total of 120 points in just 47 games.
In addition to playing for the Erie Otters, McDavid has excelled for

Team Canada. In 2013 he played for the national team at the U-18 World Junior Championship, where he was the team's top scorer, leading Canada to victory while racking up the tournament MVP award.
McDavid also played for Team Canada during the U-20 World Junior Championship in 2014 and in 2015, and in the latter year, Team Canada brought home the gold medal. McDavid's performance was impeccable as he was the co-leading scorer for Canada, as he was named to the Tournament All-Star team.
So what does an 18-year-old do with such great talent once he has mastered everything he can at the OHL level?
He likely becomes the number one

giving them the first opportunity at having McDavid. However, the Oilers were no strangers to lottery success.

In the five lotteries preceding this year's, the Oilers have had three lottery wins, which have led to the selections of Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Nail Yakupov.
With the possible addition of McDavid, the Oilers will be able to

I think college wins hockey games and we're going to be loaded with it," said Edmonton Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish to NHL.com. So for all hockey fans,
keep your eye out for the name Connor McDavid. He will take on a new challenge as he enters the NHL.
With his speed on the ice and effortless aggression toward the goal, scouts have no doubt that he will succeed and continue to impress fans everywhere.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama honored the national champion Ohio State football team Monday, taking just a little bit of credit for the new playoff system that the Buckeyes mastered.

Obama honors national champion Buckeyes at White House
Obama jokingly talked about throwing his political weight behind the idea of a four-team playoff to replace the old system in which voters and computers selected two teams to play for the championship.
"I cannot claim full credit. But I will point out that I pushed for a playoff system in 2008," Obama said. "This is a promise kept. You're welcome, America."

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer thanked the president, noting that the Buckeyes probably wouldn't have been eligible to
"He made the point several times, but it's true that he jumped right in the middle of a conversation about a college football playoff that we obviously benefited." Meyer told reporters.
More than 200 guests and dignitaries packed the White House East Room for the ceremony, including former Ohio State players Archie Griffin and Cris Carter.
Ohio State made an improbable run to the championship after losing two starting quarterbacks to injury, winning its final three games with third-string quarterback Cardale Jones.
All three quarterbacks return for the upcoming season, which has everyone in Ohio — and much of college football — wondering who will be the Buckeyes' starting quarterback.
Meyer said he got no advice from Obama.
"That was my fault. I should have asked," Meyer said.

148. That number represents the type of personal success employed by kansas softball senior utility player Madie Stein in her career as a jayhawk. The number is the amount of career RBIs that Stein has accumulated in her college career, eclipsing the previous program record of 140.
"It was just kind of a crazy accomplishment. You don't really come into college thinking you're going to accomplish things like that and being able to accomplish something like that made me teel like all the hard work I've put into it has paid off in a way that I can see it. It was just a great moment for everything to come together," said Steini.
Stein recorded her record-breaking 141 rbi in a March 22 victory against the Georgia State Panthers this season. Stein has been a major factor in the Jayhawks' 33-8 season, recording a .573 batting average, 47 hits, 13 doubles, six runs and 39 RBIs.
"It runners are in scoring position. I'm thinking try to do anything it takes to get them in. It honestly just depends on the situation. Usually, I'm just trying to have a quality at bat to try and help my team," said Step*
Every game, Stem tries to think about the bigger picture of what this can do for the program.

SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolNews
Members of Future Majority, a student political interest group, held a bake sale Tuesday afternoon in front of Wescoe Hall to raise money toward the state of Kansas' budget shortfall. The group also distributed flyers and voter registration information.
The group's focus on this budget shortfall was how the shortfall would affect education.
"We want to make students aware that poor governance and bad policy does have a consequence for them, so we thought wed have some fun with it," said Clay Cosby, a University senior and Future Majority member. "We said
wed try to raise $667 million to help save the state of Kansas with a bake sale"
Cosby said 60 percent of the Kansas budget funded education.
"I just thought it was a really important issue because I'm paying for my own college," said freshman Vince Munoz another Future Majority member.
The Associated Press reported that the budget shortfall after Monday was $400 million and growing, but previously was reported as $667 million at the beginning of April. It was reported by the Kansas City Star that Kansas' budget shortfall between both 2015 and 2016 could be around $1 billion.
Cosby said the group planned
to meet with legislators who are sympathetic with their initiative to raise awareness of the budget shortfall at the Capitol building in Topeka. They will also film a video of their trip.
"A lot of people didn't know what we were doing at first," Munoz said. "Some people even thought we were seriously trying to raise [$667 million] with a bake sale."
fun with it its a little bit more engaging to have a bake sale," Cosby said.
Future Majority also plans to send a check with the $17.25 they raised, Cosby said, and offer it to the Kansas Department of Revenue.
Munoz and Cosby said the people on Wescoe Beach who donated to the bake sale or spoke to the group received its tongue-in-cheek message well.
"I'm not under the impression that the Department of Revenue is going to accept a check from the Future Majority," said Cosby.
The group identifies itself as non-partisan. Cosby said the purpose of Future Majority is two-pronged: to raise awareness in state and local politics and to mobilize student engagement in politics.

Chancellor dicusses accessible public education, funding
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Insisting public higher education should remain a public good and not a private one was the focus of Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little's Monday Message this week.
Citing that over the last 15 years, per-student state support has decreased roughly 40 percent, Gray-Little noted some of the ramifications of that decline.
"Though universities continue to seek ways to become more efficient, the erosion of state support has inevitably forced many schools to scale back their mission or, in many cases, to increase tuition," Gray-Little wrote in her message.
Joe Monaco, associate director of Strategic Communications, said the chancellor's Monday Messages typically touch on topics that would affect the University or current happenings. This trend in education from public to private, and the proposed legislation to freeze Regents University's tuition are some of the issues currently at hand.
"We often write about topics that are timely or relevant to the campus community," he said. "This seemed like one that was timely and relevant."
Gray-Little wrote the proposed freeze to tuition "was a curious move by legislators, as it does nothing

SSAB hears proposals for future outreach positions
RILEY MORTENSEN
@RileyMortensen
Late Tuesday afternoon, members of the Student Safety Advisory Board heard proposals from the Student Senate Transportation Coordinator and representatives of the Willow Domestic Violence Center.
The Willow Domestic Violence Center presented a proposal for the creation of a full-time KU Outreach Advocate. The advocate position would be paid and allow the Willow to provide advocacy and outreach services to students, staff and faculty in an on-campus setting, according to the proposal.
Kristine Chapman, director of community engagement at the Willow, pointed out that in their needs assessment for the proposal they found that, according to the Center for Disease Control, 1 in 3 teens and young adults of both genders will face dating violence.
"We feel like there's a huge demographic of people that are falling through the gaps," said Becca Burns, director of volunteer services for the Willow. "If the numbers are
as high as they state they are nationally, it's an impossible task for any one person."
Burns also said another issue their proposal is trying to address is the difficulty students have in reaching off-campus services like their center.
"Being able to be on campus and provide on campus support group services, for example, might be really beneficial to someone who does not feel safe enough

@Ryanmiller_UKD
Two experts will speak tonight about the legalization of marijuana — a popular topic nationally, especially with the unofficial marijuana holiday 4/20 happening earlier this week.
SUA is hosting the debate on the legalization from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom.The event is free for any student with a KU ID.
The guest speaker favoring the legalization of marijuana is Aaron Houston, a founder of The Marijuana Majority and a full-time marijuana legalization lobbyist.
"Marijuana Majority exists to help more people
According to its website, The Marijuana Majority aims to help people better understand marijuana and its current legal status.
understand the simple fact that supporting commonsense solutions like regulating marijuana sales and ending marijuana arrests are mainstream positions and that there's no reason those who support reform should be afraid to say so," the site said.
Kevin Sabet, an assistant professor of psychiatry and director of the Drug Policy Institute at the University of Florida and a co-founder of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, is the man on the other side of the debate. In a 2013 Rolling Stones Article, Sabet was named one of the top-five opponents to marijuana legalization.
in the Clinton and Bush administrations as well. Currently, Sabet works as a consultant collaborating with various governments, the media and other organizations on a wide array of issues relating to drug policy.
He served in the Obama Administration as Senior Advisor at the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) from 2009-2011, according to his website, and worked
to raise awareness on the issue and because it was relevant to students.
"You're supposed to study and not get addicted to something else like marijuana."
Sarah Ingham, the Current Events Coordinator for SUA, said SUA works to bring events to KU that are interesting to students. The organization chose to bring a political debate about marijuana to KU
"They [students] have ideas if it should be legalized or not, and seeing two people show their opinions could give them the opportunity to learn more about it if they want," Ingham said.
DANNY HSEIH Junior-from Princeton, N.J.
Ingham said SUA will have Brett Bricker, a debate coach at KU, act as the moderator for the debate. After the debate, there will be a question and answer session with Sabet and Houston where students can ask any questions they want.
Brandon Tomas, a sophomore from Wichita, said he's interested in attending the event. Tomas said that legalization of marijuana can be important for students in college.
"Marijuana can be used as a relaxing agent, so students who are getting stressed
or depressed have a way to relax, and get away from it for a moment. A lot of people are turning to alcohol, and alcoholism is a huge problem," Tomas said.
Danny Hsieh, a junior from Princeton, N.J., said while he agrees there can be benefits to using marijuana, it can have an adverse effect on students' education.
"You're supposed to study and not get addicted to something else like marijuana." Hsieh said.
With the legalization of marijuana a prominent issue in politics today, especially among college students nationwide, the "Cannabusiness" debate is relevant and noteworthy for students who care about the issue or want to learn more and hear from both sides on the legalization of the drug.

Sustainability group files first motion in Hall vs. KU lawsuit
Students for a Sustainable Future (SFASF) have filed their first motion for a judgment on the proceedings in the Hall vs. KU lawsuit. The motion to the court is in defense of the release of the Koch-KU contracts and related correspondence, which was what prompted the lawsuit by business school lecturer Art Hall in the first place.
SFASF's reasoning for this defense was released in a statement:
1. Art Hall is a full-time University employee and is governed by university rules;
3. Academic freedom is advanced by allowing the students to engage in the free pursuit of truth; The group is waiting for the court to grant a hearing, and in the meantime, asking for donations to help with attorney costs at gofundme.com/unkochku.

New York aims to cut waste by 90 percent by 2030
JONATHAN LEMIRE
Associated Press
+
NEW YORK - The nation's biggest city, in a far-reaching effort to limit its impact on the environment, is set to mark Earth Day by announcing the ambitious goal of reducing its waste output by 90 percent by 2030.
The Zero Waste plan, which includes an overhaul of the city's recycling program, incentives to reduce waste and tacit support for the City Council's plan to dramatically reduce the use of plastic shopping bags, will
be announced by Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio on Wednesday. Its goal is sweeping: New York would be the largest city in the Western Hemisphere to adopt the plan, which aims to reduce the amount of its waste by more than 3 million tons from its 2005 level of about 3.6 million tons.
The waste reduction plan is part of an update to the sustainability project named PlaNYC, created by de Blasio's predecessor, Michael Bloomberg, to provide a framework for mitigating the
impacts of population growth and a changing climate on the city's infrastructure. De Blasio, who largely praised PlaNYC, is keeping its components but rebranding it OneNYC.
"The average New Yorker throws out nearly 15 pounds of waste a week, adding up to millions upon millions of tons a year," de Blasio said in a statement to The Associated Press. "To be a truly sustainable city, we need to tackle this challenge head on."
For decades, the city's trash has been exported by rail or barge and sent to facilities in
South Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania or upstate New York. The new plan would eliminate almost all of the garbage exports, which currently cost more than $350 million a year.
The amount of waste produced by the city has fallen 14 percent since 2005 due to an increase in recycling, and a key component of the Zero Waste plan is to bolster that output by simplifying the process.
Currently, residential buildings have two types of recycling bins. The city's new single-stream plan, already
used by other cities, would consolidate all of the recycling into one type of bin by 2020.
Organics — food scraps, yard waste and other things that cannot be recycled make up 31 percent of the city's residential waste stream. A program to collect that material directly from residents' homes is being expanded to nearly 200,000 residents by year's end, and officials want to serve every home in the city by the end of 2018. The city, which has about 8.5 million residents, also will offer economic incentives
to participate, including potentially a property tax rebate for homeowners.
The city also aims to reduce commercial waste by 90 percent by 2030 by adopting a program similar to what is being used with residential buildings. That could also mean tax incentives for businesses who participate and fines for those who don't.
Environmental groups briefed on the plan Tuesday applauded its wide-ranging scope.

ONLINE HOMEWORK
PRO CON
Online homework less of a hassle, more convenient
Cecilia Cho
@ceciliacho92
onework is never go to be fun no matter how you frame it. Whether your professor hands out hard copies of assignments, or you have a class that requires homework to be completed online, both, in the end, are equally boring. However, turning in an assignment online is a much more convenient option for students, as well as our teachers.
Certain on-campus classes at universities require an access code to be purchased in order to complete homework assignments or use Blackboard for homework purposes. Instead of having to make copies for hundreds of students which will eventually get thrown away, each student has a virtual copy of their homework which can be easily accessed, making this a more environmentally friendly option. In addition, professors' workloads are reduced when opting for online homework; less time is put into collecting, grading and returning assignments. This also reduces the amount of paperwork students need to keep track of.
Some may argue that online homework makes it easier for students to cheat on their assignments, yet this can be argued for both situations. When have you ever had homework that was given
to you in class and due during that same period? Homework is work done at home, meaning students are given the same opportunity to cheat on hard-copy assignments as they would an online assignment.
Another thing to consider is handwriting legibility. Have you ever had an answer become misinterpreted due to your handwriting skills, or lack thereof? It's a frustrating situation for students and teachers to deal with. Having the ability to type in your responses and/or select certain answers, versus writing them down, stops your professors from having to decipher your handwriting.
Certain online systems provide students with additional features when purchasing an access code. Some of these features include online tutorials, practice quizzes/tests and further instruction on items that may be giving students a hard time. These additional features may be what spikes up the price of access codes, but the benefits of these features are priceless.
During a time when basically everything can be done online, it's only natural that homework is one of those options as well. Students and staff benefit from the ease of online assignments. The ability to receive instant feedback on a homework problem is helpful for the learning process of students, and lessens the already heavy workload our educators must handle everyday.

Online homework is unnecessary and unhelpful for students
Meg Huwe
@mphuwe
I have never heard of a more ridiculous notion than "buying your homework." Students are already required to pay good money for other miscellaneous fees, so why should homework be an additional cost? In most classes, online homework is worth about 10 percent of the overall grade. While 10 percent isn't a large amount, getting an A without doing any of the homework would require receiving perfect scores in every other aspect of the class.
While it's becoming easier to find cheaper textbooks on sites like Amazon, or by borrowing books from individuals who have taken the course already, access codes eliminate the possibility of renting textbooks for a cheaper cost. Access codes from rented books aren't guaranteed to work, according to the general policies of popular book-rental site Chegg. Although online textbooks with access codes can be cheaper than print editions, overall, they are not cheaper when one already has the textbook one wanted to rent.
Once access codes are purchased, they only last for a certain amount of time, so if there is a gap between taking the first-level course and second-level course you may have to buy an additional access code. For example, Physics 211 and Physics 212 both use MasteringPhysics for their online homework, so the same access code
will work for both classes, but only when both are taken within a 12-18 month period. While it's nice that you wouldn't have to pay for an access code for the following semester, it causes problems if courses can't be taken consecutively. Additionally, if students must repeat a course they will need to purchase a new access code, since they are unable to use the access code from the previous semesters.
According to Time, material read from printed books as opposed to e-books may be more likely to be remembered long-term. The article refers to a study done by Kate Garland, a lecturer from University of Leicester, who observed that more repetition was required with computer reading for the information to stick. Access codes typically include access to the online textbook, while the printed loose-leaf version costs, of course, a little extra.
Although both online homework and written homework can be easily googled for the answers, some online programs allow a way to guess and check solutions until coming to the right answer. Online homework generates direct feedback so that a student can see what they did wrong, but that feedback doesn't always include an explanation on why the answer is wrong. While it all boils down to the integrity of the student, online homework needs to offer a more unique way of working out problems that eliminates the guess and check option.
It's outrageous to make students, who are already paying a lot of money, pay even more for the ability to do their homework. I'd rather take back my pen and pencil and do it the old-fashioned way.

Unemployment may bring opportunity for country
John Olson
@JohnOlsonUDK
When looking ahead at the broad expanse of life we have before us, we hope that it will be shining and bright. But as we all know, our future may throw us a curveball or two, one of which may very well be concerning bouts of unintended unemployment. According to the Associated Press, each one of us has a significant chance of being laid off for some period in our lives.
Unemployment brings a
host of negative effects. The loss of a job is often coupled with negative psychological effects, slides into poverty and a decline in the production of goods and services. However, it is not all bad, especially looking at the grand scheme of things. It is easier said than done, but perhaps solace can be taken in the magnificent behind-the-scenes mechanics of a growing economy, like the one in the United States.
In capitalist economies, there will always be some level of unemployment. This is not necessarily a fault of capitalism; rather, according to economist John Buck, it is the result of workers in a free society being able to choose what sort of work they wish to do. While it is true that unemployment may be lower in communist economies, this comes with a sacrifice of restricted liberties or even forced labor.
So why is there always some unemployment? One reason is that job searching can take a significant amount of time — up to 27 weeks at the height of the Great Recession — but this is not necessarily an entirely bad thing. After all, we would rather take time to search for a job that we like and matches our skills, rather than immediately be pushed into a job we hate, right! This type of joblessness — called frictional unemployment — allows businesses and individuals to match jobs effectively and efficiently.
When industries change or whole new ones are invented, job loss can be an unfortunate albeit necessary consequence through a method that sounds like the title of a Hollywood thriller: creative destruction. Take for example the invention of the personal computer. Entire industries sprung up overnight, with the adoption
of the new technology leading to a phenomenal growth in the standard of living.
of the new technology leading to a phenomenal growth in the standard of living. Even though everybody benefited from this in the long run, typewriter manufacturers were not happy about this development. Should the government have spent billions of taxpayer dollars to prop up an industry that had outlived its usefulness? I don't think so. If we insisted on that logic, we would be spending millions to subsidize the production of abacuses. This concept may apply differently in the public sector, such as when cuts to education occur, but the fact of the matter is that this logic applies perfectly well to the private sector, which makes up 85 percent of the American workforce.
This does not mean that those of us who lose their jobs should be thrown out on the street. I believe that in prosperous system that requires
both gains and losses, such as capitalism; those saddled with the losses should have access to a safety net. In addition, they should be granted opportunities to retrain their skills and to adapt to innovations, perhaps through government programs. Thus, they will ultimately join the ranks of the more prosperous.
But we can't avoid not harming anyone with economic progress. If we did that, then all of our technology would still be stuck in the middle ages. Unemployment is no doubt a burden, but beneath the mucky exterior, there lies opportunities for an entire nation's economy. And luckily, it means we do not have to write essays on typewriters.

Q&A with Spring Choreographic Fellow
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
This year, the University's Choreographic Fellow chosen by the Department of Dance was Regina Klenjoski, founder of her very own dance company that's based out of Long Beach, Calif. The fellowship provides an opportunity for guest artists to not only share their work, but also give dance students the experience to work closely with a professional.
Klenjoski's plans to apply to the University's fellowship coincidentally aligned with her husband's plans, and her family moved to Wichita before she was even offered the position. Since January, she has been training students in the University Dance Company, all while maintaining operations in California from thousands of miles away.
After months of preparing the University Dance Company's spring concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. this Thursday and Friday at the Lawrence Arts Center. The Kansan spoke with Klenjoski regarding her work
KLENJOSKI: I was studying business in college, but I had a roommate who was dancing. I had danced in high school, and she ended up opening up a lot of possibilities for me. I still wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do, but I kept dance a part of my life. When I decided to develop my own company, I got to combine my business skills and dance.
on the show, her personal accomplishments and more.
KANSAN: How did you decide that you wanted to make a career out of dance?
KLENJOSKI: I love teaching and working with the younger dancers. It's been about 20 years that I've been training dancers through the company and I still enjoy it. I also like to teach at universities to work with other passionate dancers who want to do this for a living.
KANSAN: What's it been like owning your own dance company?
decide to be a Choreographic Fellow here at KU?
KLENJOSKI: It was the application. It seemed to fit me as an artist. I've been presented with opportunities throughout my life, but this was right up my alley. I also love the midwest, and it just happened to be a coincidence that my family and I were planning on moving to Wichita.
KANSAN: What made you
KANSAN: Why did you decide to move to Wichita if your company is based in California?
KLENJOSKI: My husband was recruited for work here, and it's generally a good place to raise a family. I'm getting ready to start strategic planning for my company and how I'm going to move forward while living here in Wichita, whether it be with a dual city program or to move it to Kansas.
KANSAN: What has your work been like as Choreographic Fellow?
KLENJOSKI: I auditioned
dancers, and I set one of the dances as one of my company's works. I created "Emoticons" in 2011, and it involves five dances. I spent weeks teaching that dance, and even had two of my dancers from California come to assist me. I also taught in modern technique and that was a daily occurrence.
KANSAN: What can the audience expect from "Emotions?"
KLENJOSKI: It's about technology, stemming from the idea that I can't ever put my cellphone down. I'm constantly checking my email, texts, voicemails - it really is an addiction. Technology is infiltrating society and changing the way we act, so I wanted to bring awareness to this. The dance is set in a very indigenous, isolated world. In it, there's this need to connect with other people.
KANSAN: What are you looking forward to most with the show?
in their work. Every dancer will perform slightly different, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they each fit into their role and how they've developed. I've really enjoyed my time here at KU in working with these talented and incredibly professional performers.
KANSAN: What do you have to say to any young person hesitant to pursue a career in dance?
KLENJOSKI: If you love it, it makes you feel good and it fuels you, pursue your dream. I'm not going to lie, it's hard. Dance is a difficult career, but if you love it and have a passion for it, don't give up. Surround yourself with people who believe in what you're doing, because nothing will tear you down faster than someone who doesn't want you to succeed.
KLENJOSKI: I'm excited to see how the dancers have grown

Student illustrates her thesis in comic book

ATOMIC SIZE MATTERS
VERONICA M. BEWAL, PHD
MADISON, Wis. — Late last spring, a doctoral student worked late into the night. As she doodled, her chemistry thesis took on a life of its own, transforming into a comic book.
Veronica Berns, 28, was working on her Ph. D. in chemistry at the University of Wisconsin -Madison. Berns said she long struggled to explain her work to her parents and friends. The self-described comic book fan said she began drafting her thesis on quasicrystals — a subset of crystals that diverge from the usual structural characteristics of crystals. Berns quickly concluded that she would be best able to describe the oddball compounds with illustrations.
And on many occasions, it was on the back of an envelope or on a napkin
"They're not very well-polished illustrations. That's on purpose," Berns said. "I wanted it to be like I'm explaining on the back of an envelope."
CARRIE ANTLFINGER/ASSOCIATED PRESS
that she doodled sketches of the chemical bonds to better show her parents what she was working on in the lab. Iody Berns, Veronica's mother, said their family has a history of doodling and has shared comics for years.
Veronica Berns holds the comic book "Atomic Size Matters" that she created to explain her doctoral chemistry thesis to her family at her apartment in Chicago. Berns, a comic book fan, says the illustrations are not well-polished because she wanted it to be like she was explaining on the back on an envelope. She ended up raising more than twice what she asked for on the crowd funding website Kickstarter to print the book.
Berns surprised her family with her comic book "Atomic Size Matters" at her graduation last year. The book depicts cartoons of Berns wearing various costumes and uses humor as well as simple comparisons to describe elaborate chemistry.
"We're just really proud that she can take something so complex and put it into a fun visual explanation that everyone can enjoy," Jody Berns said.
Veronica Berns' professor Danny Fredrickson said Berns was the first of his students to construct her thesis in an artistic way. He said often it is difficult for scientists to explain what they do with proper context.
"If it's worth doing, we should be able to explain it," Fredrickson said.
And he said Berns managed to accomplish that.
scientists will find ways to illustrate what they're doing in the lab. She now lives in Chicago and works as a chemist Berns also writes a blog in which she uses connics
to explain the work of Nobel Prize winning scientists.
Berns said she hopes other
Berns started a Kickstarter fundraising campaign to finance printing a small batch of the books. She
said she wanted to raise $5,965 to cover the costs of professional printing. The website says she has raised more than $14,000.

Apple Watch hype now has tangible results with online reviews coming in
"There's a good chance it will not work perfectly for most consumers right out of the box, because it is best after you fiddle with various software settings to personalize use," Manioo said in his review.
Lane Cofas
@alleynahC
Overall, reviews for the Apple Watch are positive after the first couple days adjusting to the device. So, if you've got the cash and want to know what it's like to wear a 38 mm computer around your wrist, the watch will be available April 24 online and in stores.
It also features a heart rate monitor and two fitness apps that can tell you when you've been sitting too long. According to Apple, the watch has a 24-hour battery life, but with the amount it able to do, you will most likely have to plug it in before you get your eight hours of sleep each night.
The 38 and 42 mm device comes in three different designs, 25 colors and styles, and nine different faces. It's compatible with the iPhone and works by itself when accessing all 20 Apple apps or listening to music, just like your cellphone.
Reviews for the highly anticipated Apple Watch are in. Reviews conducted by techradar.com help the consumer know what to expect, and whether to plan on adding the new gadget to the expanding collection of Apple products.
The watch is water resistant and sells for anything from $342 to about $17,000 for the 18-karat gold model. But is this new computer watch worth the price? How does it stack up to its competition?
Farhad Manjoo of the New York Times said although it took him three days to get used to it, on the fourth day it was like a new experience.
TechRadar applauded the watch's different sizes, but was not as keen on the price for the more expensive models. The website was also iffy of it potentially being slightly clunky. TechRadar considered the Apple Watch still an unfinished product, or, in their words, a "bauble." Yet, the company said the gadget is something to look forward to.
However, the reviews aren't praising the product 100 percent. On Bloomberg.com, Mark Rolston, founder of design consultancy Argodesign, says Apple could have taken more risks with the shape of the watch, suggesting for the screen to wrap around the wrist.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who will win the spring football game: Blue or White?
Nick Couzin
@Ncouz
BLUE
This Saturday is the Kansas spring football game.
featuring the White (1st team offense and 2nd team defense) versus the Blue (1st team defense and 2nd team offense). When all is said and done at Memorial Stadium, the Blue will be victorious.
The 1st team quarterback has yet to be decided,but with Michael Cummings more successful than Montell Cozart. Cummings will most likely get the start for team White and Cozart will start for the Blue.
However, most Kansas fans are relying on Cozart to be our starter. From what the coaches have seen from him so far, based on his talent and athleticism, he will be going into Saturday's game looking to outperform Cummings. He also hopes to show the Jayhawk nation
that he is capable of bouncing back to be the quarterback everyone expected him to be when he first stepped foot in Lawrence.
The 1st team defense took a hit this offseason after losing a wide array of seniors, two of whom will likely get drafted: cornerback JaCorey Shepherd and linebacker Ben Heeney. Luckily, they do have a load of returning players on the Clint Bowen-run defense.
Two players worth focusing on are junior Fish Smithson at safety and senior Jake Love at linebacker. As a sophomore, Smithson was Kansas' fifth leading tackler on defense and recorded 49 defensive stops on the season. He also put himself on the stat sheet by racking in two tackles for loss and one pass break up.
Smithson had a career-high nine tackles against arguably the best team in the Big 12 last year — Baylor. As a transfer student, last year was Smithson's first year, but it was a great one and he will look to become a force to be reckoned with next fall.
Jake Love comes in this season as the most experienced, after playing alongside Heeney and other senior linebacker Michael Reynolds for his last three years on the field. He has two accolades he can put on his resume; for example,
in the third game of the season against the Central Michigan Chippewas, he earned honorable mention linebacker of the week, and all five of his tackles were behind the line of scrimmage and one for a sack.

games he played last season, he was the fourth leading tackler on the defense with 53 stops and he will be the defense's leader this year. Because of an experienced defense that has been the star of Kansas football for the past couple of seasons, and a poised young quarterback looking for redemption, team Blue will take the W on Saturday afternoon at 1 P.M.

WHITE
With football season less than four months away,it's time for the perennial question:How many games will Kansas lose this year?
"...NOW THE ENTIRE UNIT SEEMS ENERGIZED AND READY."
While the team has fallen on hard times lately, the annual Spring Game is the best way to get the fans—and the players—back into the football mindset. For journalists, it's our first chance to pick a football game since February, and we get to choose between the first team offense (White) or
the first team defense (Blue).
the first team defense (blue).
Coach David Beaty has infused energy and life into a team that, for the last eight years, has been utterly devoid of purpose. His uptempo practices and infectionally eager and intense attitude has given life to a team that looked like it had totally lost its direction in the middle of last season.
Beaty's personality shows up most in his offense, which has taken a complete 180 after the disastrous 2014 season. Senior Michael Cummings is improving with every throw and he continues to compete for time with Montell Cozart. Corey Avery and DeAndre Mann have each had an entire offseason to develop and work on themselves. With Beaty's new "weight room first" attitude, Avery and Mann have undoubtedly built up the strength to run between the tackles much more effectively.
After the departure of Nigel King and Jimmy Mundine, the receiving corps needed help desperately. Rodriguez Coleman and Tre' Parmalee are both going to be featured targets on the field, and the arrival of Matt Denning and Chase Harrell will help with depth and athleticism.
With a running game he can actually rely on, Michael Cummings won't feel so much pressure on him as a
quarterback, and he can sit back and show off his arm which, at some points last season, dazzled us with its accuracy and strength.
The defense, on the other hand, will have to deal with the loss of captain Ben Heeney, one of the best defensive players to come through KU this century. They also have to replace the leader of their defense, JaCorey Shepherd, who seemed to make the big plays every time they were needed at the end of last season. They also lose their leader in the pass rush, Michael Reynolds, not to mention defensive line plugs Keon Stowers and Tedarian Johnson.
This isn't to say the defense won't look great next year, but the Spring Game is more of a gauge of which side of the ball has improved more. David Beaty's intensity and passion has definitely rubbed off on the offense more than the defense. The offense seemed to give up on Charlie Weis early last season, and now the entire unit seems energized and ready. With a chip on their shoulder and fire in their hearts, they'll be ready to show the world they're an offense to be feared.
Kansas preps for midweek matchup against SIU
And the first step is the annual Spring Game.

The Jayhawks (33-8, 4-5 Big 12) will try to get back into the win column with a midweek matchup against the SIU-Edwardsville'Cougars (35-10, 16-4 Ohio Valley Conference) in Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park. The Jayhawks will play the Cougars today at 1 p.m.
The Jayhawks are coming off a 2-3 loss to the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on Sunday. Kansas has only won one of its previous four games and have only won one conference series this season.
Junior infielder Chaley
Brickey leads the Jayhawks with a 418 batting average and has recorded 56 hits, scored 41 runs and has hit 11 home runs and 49 RBIs. Senior utility player Maddie Stein ranks second on the team with a .373 batting average and has recorded 47 hits, 28 runs scored, 13 doubles and 39 RBIs.
Freshman infielder Daniella Chavez, who was named an NFCA Freshman of the Year finalist last week, ranks fifth on the team with a .342 batting average and has recorded 40 hits, 21 runs scored, 10 home runs and 49 RBIs.
Senior pitcher Alicia Pille leads a talented Jayhawks
pitching staff with a 2.81 ERA and has recorded 155 strikeouts while allowing 121 hits and 69 scores this season. Freshman Bryn Houlton ranks second on the pitching staff with a 2.94 ERA, and has recorded 27 strikeouts while allowing 52 hits and 26 scores.
The Cougars come into Arrocha Ballpark with an incredibly impressive 35-10 record this season, with recorded wins over programs like Ohio State, Villanova and Georgetown.
"Edwardsville has one of the best freshman pitchers in the country. They also have an upperclassman who's one of the best pitchers in the country.
They're a great team, they win a lot of games and they pitch really well. They're the best team we've faced in the past few weeks," said Kansas coach Megan Smith.
"They're a great team, they win a lot of games and they pitch really well. They're the best team we've faced in the past few weeks."
MEGAN SMITH Kansas coach
Among the leaders of the Cougars' offense is junior
Haley Chambers, who boasts a .382 batting average and has recorded 55 hits, 35 runs scored, 12 doubles and 33 RBIs this season. Senior Rebecca Gray leads the Cougars with a .391 batting average and has recorded 50 hits, 29 runs scored and 13 RBIs.
Sophomore Allison Smiley ranks second on the team with 32 RBIs on a .305 batting average and has recorded 40 hits and 20 runs scored.
Chambers also leads a powerful Cougars pitching staff with a 1.34 ERA and has recorded a remarkable 233 strikeouts while allowing 107 hits and 42 scores. Freshman Baylee Douglass ranks second
on the pitching staff with a 2.01 ERA and has recorded 127 strikeouts while allowing 89 hits and 42 runs scored.
After Wednesday's game, the Jayhawks will prepare for their toughest challenge of the series: a weekend series against the No. 5 Oklahoma Sooners at Arrocha Ballpark. The Jayhawks will play the Sooners on Friday and will finish up the weekend on Sunday.

COMMENTARY Diallo's decision getting closer
Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein
MCDONALD'S
ALLAMERICAN
No. 7 recruit Cheick Diallo has narrowed his college decision list down to five schools: Kansas, St. Johns, Iowa State, Kentucky, and Pitt. 247 sports. com gives the Jayhawks a $34% chance to Land Diallo.
NAM Y. HUH/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Diallo posted a tweet Monday night that read, "It's been a long 3 years. Just wanted to thank all the coaches who recruited me and stopped by my school ... appreciated all the fans who followed my journey."
This tweet has experts speculating that Diallo will make his decision soon. Diallo has impressed scouts since he was awarded MVP of the McDonald's All-American game.
Diallo is 6-foot-9 but has a wingspan that measures 7-foot-3. The power forward weighs in at 210 pounds and will become a better defender as he adds muscle. Diallo is a menace on the offensive boards and possesses strong ball skills for a big man.
According to scouthoops. com, Diallo has a competitive drive that will likely make him one of the hardest workers on any team he chooses. He also has the ability to score on the low-block with advanced footwork.
While Diallo has a strong skill set, he is still a raw product with a lot of sharp edges. Diallo shot a mere 58 percent from the free-throw line during his senior season and has relied on his physical prowess through most of his young basketball career. If Diallo is to become an eventual NBA prospect, he is going to need to develop a stronger and more consistent inside scoring game.
Similarly to former Jayhawk Joel Embiid, Diallo picked up basketball late in his life and adjusted to the game very quickly. Embiid climbed the recruiting charts all the way to the No. 6 spot before committing to Kansas.
Embidid's quick adjustments accelerated even quicker at Kansas as he cemented himself as one of the best big men in the country during his freshman season and eventually became the No. 3 overall draft pick.
Diallo is being projected as a two-year player, but Embiid's one-and-done success was not anticipated, so an impressive freshman season is not out of the picture for Diallo.
Diallo will help fill the void that is being left by former Jayhawk Cliff Alexander who has declared for the NBA Draft. Diallo will also look to join a class that, so far, only includes Carlton Bragg. Kansas has had top recruiting classes in each of the past two seasons.

Senior shortstop Justin Protocio throws the ball early in the game against Wichita State on Tuesday night. The Jayhawks defeated the Shockers 11-6.

Kansas baseball earned their second sweep of the season Tuesday night after defeating Wichita State 11-6, also giving them their second victory against the Shockers this year. Tuesday's win gives the jayhawks their sixth straight victory against the Shockers.
"It's an in-state rivalry and it has been forever, so it's good to get the win," said senior Dakota Smith.
The Jayhawks wasted no time in putting runs on the board, scoring within their first two at-bats of the game. Senior Justin Protacio singled to left field to leadoff the inning, and Connor McKay followed with an RBI double to put the Jayhawks up 1-0.
Wichita State's Gunnar Troutwine was a one-man show in the top of the second inning for the Shockers. The freshman walked to leadoff the inning, and followed it by stealing second base.
After the Shockers recorded their second out, Troutwine advanced to third on a balk, and on the very next throw, scored on a wild pitch to tie the game at 1-1.
Pitching would - plague the Jayhawks in the next inning. The Shockers' Trey Vickers reached base due to a fielding error and soon after found himself on third after a wild pitch. Vickers scored on a routine groundball by teammate Daniel Kihle to take the lead.
In the bottom of the third, the Jayhawks got two runners on base in McKay and Blair Beck. With two outs on the board, Smith ripped a shot over left field, but it passed just outside of the foul pole. On the next pitch, Smith learned from his mistake and launched a home run over left center to give the Jayhawks a 4-2 lead.
McKay started things off with a single up the middle in the bottom of the fourth, giving him his third hit in
three at bats. Freshman Matt McLaughlin took the batter's box in the at-bat following McKay, and mimicked his teammate Beck by hitting a home run of his own over left-center.
McLaughlin's home run is not only the first of his career, but according to him, it is his first ever at Hoglund Ballpark including batting practice.
The Jayhawks' scoring barrage continued in the fifth. After the Shockers failed to get anything going on their end, the Jayhawks loaded the bases against Wichita State's Taylor Goshen, who walked another batter to bring in a Jayhawk run, giving them the lead 7-2.
Goshen was replaced by freshman Tyler Jones, who started his night with a wild pitch. Kansas junior Tommy Mirabelli turned on the jets to take advantage of the wild pitch and reach home to put his team up by six after five innings.
After five straight innings
with no hits, Wichita State's Jordan Ferris finally got the Shocker bats going in the top of the sixth with a base hit. Following Ferris' at-bat, teammate Ryan Tinkham earned the Shockers their second hit of the game with a line drive to right field. In their third at-bat of the inning, the Shockers recorded their third hit of the contest after clean-up batter Sam Hillard sent a ball over dead center to cut the deficit to 8-5.
The Jayhawks would take advantage of three walks and a hit batter in the bottom of the inning to walk in a run of their own, giving them a 9-5 lead through six.
The Shockers tried to spark a comeback in the eighth, and they cut the lead to three after a throwing error plated a runner, but the Jayhawks were not impressed. In the bottom of the inning, the Jayhawks' Owen Taylor and Tommy Mirabelli hit back-to-backRBIs to take a five run advantage.
The Jayhawks' lead would hold through the ninth as the Shockers could not get anything going, giving Kansas an 11-6 victory and a season sweep over the Shockers.
Coach Ritch Price's squad was dominant on offense during the game, showing a team effort with eight players contributing to the teams 11 total hits.
"I thought they did a good job," Price said. "It's a shocking thing to say but hard to hit when they're walking that many guys. They went to their bullpen a lot to try and mix and match but our guys did a good job overall of taking the runs."
With the Wichita State game in the books, the Jayhawks complete their 10-game homestand and will continue Big 12 play on the road at West Virginia on Friday.

Brandon Schneider introduced as new coach
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmantheman2011
When Brandon Schneider, the new Kansas women's basketball coach, was first introduced on Tuesday, he talked about his first visit to Allen Fieldhouse in 1995, while being a first-year coach under Cindy Stein at Emporia State University.
"Before I stepped on the court, I could feel it, the goosebumps," Schneider said. "There's something special about this place. The last 20 years, there have been two words I've been wanting to say and I decide to wait one day until I became a part of the KU family."
The next two words Schneider said were "Rock Chalk".
Schneider was named the sixth woman's basketball
coach in program history on Monday. It happened to be the same date Schneider was hired in 2010 at Stephen F. Austin after he left Emporia State following the National Championship Division-II win.
"We are going to play extremely hard," Schneider said. "We are going to be the team jumping over the scorer's table, diving on the floor for loose balls and rotating to take charges."
"We found the coach who checked all the boxes off our list," KU Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger said. "A coach that has spent his career in Kansas and Texas, who can identify and recruit talent in the Big 12 corridor."
Schneider wants his team to
Schneider expects big things out of his team in the near future.
play physically and mentally. He also wants there to be a strong sense of unity between the team and the coaching staff.

BRANDON SCHNEIDER Women's basketball coach
He believes that togetherness between the team and coaching staff can bring toughness, and a team that can accomplish this can
"We are going to be a team that promotes unity and communication," Schneider said.
One thing Schneider does in his coaching positions is turn the team around. In his first season at Stephen F. Austin, the Jackrabbits won 12 games, and the next season, they won 23. During the past two seasons, Kansas won 13 games during the 2013-14 season, and 15 games this past season. He considers himself a basketball junkie.
Relationships are key for Schneider, and his teams have been successful in the past. Schneider is the second-winning coach at the NCAA Division II level, and he ranks in the top 10 in fastest coaches to 100 wins and the third fastest among women's coaches.
win a high percentage of games.
"I did get a check from Paramount Studios being a basketball extra" Schneier

said. "When you are a basketball junkie, there's no other place you want to be"
The future is looking up for Kansas Women's Basketball, and with Schneider at the helm, you can see Kansas make a turnaround just like that.

Deane W. Malott, the late and distinguished alumnus of the University from 1895 to 1955, was a highly and well-respected member of the business administration of the beginning of the twentieth century. He was the president of the University from 1906 to 1914, and then served as the president of the University from 1914 to 1924.
"TRINESS CRAM," that one of us perhaps have now since we were here, is an admirable achievement. We are all indebted to him for his tremendous contributions and his leadership. "He was not only a leader but a mentor."
"We knew how hard it was to succeed in our profession," said Trinessa Cram. "He was very dedicated to our success." "He was also a great friend and mentor to many of us." "We will always remember his wisdom and guidance."

Kansas Budget Director Shawn Sullivan (left) answers a question about a new fiscal forecast
Legislature weighs cuts, tax increases to fix $400M deficit
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Kansas is at the bottom of a nearly $400 million hole legislators need to fill before the end of this fiscal year on June 30. Gov. Sam Brownback's administration announced it would release a budget amendment later this week to remedy some of the looming deficit.
According to the state constitution, Kansas cannot finish a fiscal year in a deficit, so legislators must fix this issue before June 30. To fix such a budget
deficit, they'll likely have to make more cuts in more areas such as education, potentially raise taxes and move money from other state funds such as the highway fund, for example.
Rep. Jerry Henry (D-Atchison) said the essence of the governor's 2012 tax plan was to enhance job growth and cut income taxes. With income taxes being cut, people could use that money to enhance sales tax, thus stimulating the economy. Henry said the plan that many of his Republican counterparts supported fell flat.
"We had some growth, but nothing phenomenal," he said. "It's kind of been a failure. The plan they thought would happen has not happened. It's actually gone backwards. Every time we do a consensus estimating, we're losing another $100 million in gross. The growth is just not there."
bill will need to be reworked and foresees more cuts.
"I think they'll have to revisit some of the spending and see if there can be reductions," he said. "I'm concerned higher education is a possible cut. Medicaid could get cut and there will be some across-the-board cuts."
Kep. Barbara Boilier (R-Mission Hills) said Speaker of the House Rep. Ray Merrick (R-Stilwell) continues to insist Kansas has a spending prob-

University alumnus stars in short film at Wild West Film Festival

University alumnus Sam Jones is a jack-of-all-trades and a nomad. He's a self-proclaimed country boy, an athlete and an actor. He is the villain in a short film called "Neon Veins," which will premiere at Liberty Hall tonight as a part of the Wild West Film Festival.
"It's got a really colorful soundtrack," Jones said. "We call it a neo-noir. The lighting and the colors in the film are really beautiful."
The 24-year-old graduated in 2014 and since then has taken some time off to work in the oil fields of North Dakota before beginning his acting career in the midwest. He said he plans to make the jump to a bigger city with more opportunities eventually, but right now he's participating in the Wild West Film Festival and acting in other film projects with friends. When he's not acting, he's doing odd jobs to make money.
Jones is from a small town
in southern Missouri called Rogersville. He attended the University with a scholarship to run middle-distance track. He started out as an organic chemistry major, but fell in love with acting after taking an acting class to fulfill an arts credit.
He then changed his major to film and media. After graduating, he traveled just outside Watford City, N.D., to work in the oil fields — a dangerous job — to do some research for a script he's currently writing. Jones took a notepad and pen everywhere he went, recording his experiences and jotting down ideas.
Before the oil boom, Watford City had about 2,000 people. Since then it's grown to more than 10,000 people. Jones said some people who showed up to work were living in tents without running water or electricity. Jones said he felt the experiences he had in North

Football program adopts new technology to prevent concussions
ABIGAIL WALSH
@kansannews
Murphy Grant was peering at a laptop during a recent spring football practice, electronically tracking players' hits, when he noticed one player was getting hit more than others. After the third hit registered on the screen, Grant, the University's director of sports medicine, ran out to the field to make sure the player was OK.
This mouth guard alert system, in use for the first time as the football team prepares for Saturday's spring game, is a new step the University is taking to react to concussion-level hits to players.
A dozen football players suffered concussions in 2014, according to KU Athletics, which provided the numbers to the Kansas upon request. In the past five years, as many as 17 football players had concussions in a single season, though the average has been about 12 per year.
In recent years, as concerns about brain damage to athletes and liability have increased, so has the focus on how Division I schools
identify, treat and report concussions.
"Now, that would never happen," Lawrence Magee, head team physician for KU Athletics, said. "But it was the standard back then."
Ten years ago, if a player took a hit during a game, the sideline trainers would determine if that player suffered a first-, second- or third-degree concussion. If the player had a first-degree concussion, he could be put back into the game 10 minutes later.
"More students are likely to self-report to the physicians quicker than they used to 10 years ago."
Today, if student athletes are suspected of having a concussion, they are pulled from play for the remainder

University researchers awarded for book on police racial bias
Using data collected from surveys instead of traffic citations, a group of University researchers has found new evidence of racial bias in investigatory traffic stops monitored in the Kansas City metro area
Charles Epp, Steven Maynard-Moody and Don Haider-Markel, all University employees, published their research in a book called "Pulled Over: How Police Stops Define Race and Citizenship," and have won the 2015 Best Book Award from the American Society for Public Administration's Section on Public Administration Research
"Employing a strong research design and utilizing a variety of data, 'Pulled Over' documents how these stops reflect a form of institutional racism that undermines both racial equality and police-community relations," said John C. Thomas, chair of the ASPA review committee, in a University press release.
The three researchers surveyed 2,329 drivers in the Kansas City metro area who were pulled over in the last year. The study identified two kinds of traffic stops: traffic safety stops and investigatory stops.
In a safety stop, a driver has committed a crime like running a stop sign or driving too fast and is ticketed. Epp said. In an investigatory stop, the
"By far and away, the most likely to be subject to these stops are young African-American men and women. It's a racial bias, simple and straightforward."
officer pulls over the driver who looks out of place or suspicious, but has not necessarily committed a crime.
Epp said African Americans were five times more likely to be searched in investigatory stops than whites, but traffic stops showed no disparities.
“[In investigatory traffic stops, we] found that African Americans are dramatically more likely to be stopped. Young people are dramatically more likely to be stopped.” Epp said. “By far and away, the most likely to be subject to these stops are young African-American men and women. It's a racial bias, simple and straightforward.”

A survey was chosen to conduct the research by Epp, Maynard-Moody and Haider-Markel, whereas police citations are commonly used to collect data on police stops.

of the day. A physician completes an examination and decides what treatment, if any, is needed. Depending on the severity of the injury, the physician will restrict players from playing and other activities until they are cleared to resume normal activity, Magee said.
"The average athlete at the University of Kansas has better access to more thorough evaluation and rehab and treatment than what they had 10 years ago — not that it was bad, but things change," Magee said. "I think the athlete and their parents have more knowledge about injuries and have certain expectations of what needs to be done."
The NCAA requires teams to teach student athletes the signs and symptoms of concussions. At Kansas, that job is supposed to be executed by team physicians and athletic trainers. Players are required to sign a statement saying they accept responsibility for reporting injuries and know the signs and symptoms of concussions, according to the athletic department's "Concussion Management Plan."
with self-reporting a suspected concussion to a team physician or trainer.
A Harvard study of 907 NCAA-member colleges and universities published last year found a need for improved education of athletes about concussions. While many schools have management plans, the study suggested that there's a need to improve the content and delivery of concussion education. Kansas did not participate in the study, which also suggested the NCAA use its "regulatory capabilities" to ensure "athlete's brains are kept safe."
Magee said Kansas athletes are well-educated about concussions and are comfortable
"More students are likely to self-report to the physicians quicker than they used to 10 years ago," Magee said. "It used to be the culture to take it like a man, but it's not like that anymore. Guys are more likely to bring themselves in for a check-up if symptoms develop after a game or practice."
The self-reported concussions are generally not made public. The ones that get publicized usually involve players who are obviously injured during a game.
During the basketball season, sophomore Brannen Greene and sophomore Keyla Morgan's concussions made headlines. Last year, now-sophomore football player Derrick Neal suffered a concussion during the Baylor game and was out for the remainder of the season due to bleeding in his brain. He said the coaches and medical staff did a good job taking care of him.
"They checked on me every day and made sure I took pills every morning and that I didn't lift over 10 pounds," he said.
Neither the Big 12 nor NCAA require universities to report concussion numbers. The NCAA does require schools to report "catastrophic injuries" like player paralysis or death. Last year, as part of its efforts to raise awareness about the long-term effects of concussions, the NCAA announced it had teamed up with the Department of Defense to launch a $30 million comprehensive study of concussions and head impact exposure.
A lawsuit by a former collegiate football player claims these concussion protection programs came about too late.
Chris Powell, a former Kansas fullback who played from 1991-94, is suing the NCAA in U.S. District Court for failing to protect student athletes from head trauma. According to the suit, Powell suffered four concussions while playing at Kansas. One concussion was so severe it resulted in 48 hours of memory loss. The University is not a named defendant in Powell's suit.
Grant said he believes the University is ahead of the game when it comes to concussion safety. He said the high-tech mouth guards record the impact of each hit a player takes. The technology will allow coaches to modify drills so players are less apt to suffer head injuries as well as recognize and treat individual players who take substantial hits.
"Concussions are never the same for different people," Grant said. "You have got to be ready to adapt with each guy who comes to the sideline."

lem instead of a budget problem. While money can, and likely will, be moved from various state funds, Bollier said she doesn't support that method to fix a self-inflicted issue.
"This is an issue we created," she said. "There are big changes that have to come. People like me are not about borrowing money. That's not a fiscal conservative methodology or ideology."
Because those shifted funds would no longer be available next fiscal year, Bollier said many of her colleagues hold out hope the 2012 plan will succeed.
"The hope and prayer of the administration is that, 'Oh, all this money will be coming into the state because thousands of jobs have been created,'" she said. "They believe it's just around the corner and that it's going to happen. They're basing this off economic theory from [Arthur] Laffer, and they've bought in. They believe it, and they'll hold the course if enough of them can."
When a plan is passed out of committee, 63 votes in the House and 21 votes in the Senate are needed to pass it on to the governor to sign into law. Henry said there are a number of legislators who will not vote to pass tax increases and would rather see more reductions in spending.
"They'll tell you that in a year or two, revenue will come back up, and then we can reinsteal some of the spending," Henry said. "As for the immediate future, it looks pretty dim that we'll be
able to meet our obligations with the revenue that we have coming in."
Sen. Laura Kelly (D-Topeka) said in an email that many legislators have waited too long to tackle this massive issue of the budget.
"The state is in a fiscal world of hurt," she said. "It is past time that the governor and many of my colleagues deal decisively and quickly to begin the healing process. The only remedy is extremely distasteful to them, but it has to be done."
Bottler said while she's extremely worried about the budget in Kansas, she hopes the state can take heed from its motto and find a solution.
"It's an astronomical problem to me," she said. "I was thinking about our motto: 'Ad astra per aspera.' 'To the stars through difficulty.' Well, here's an example. The irony is this is a self-created difficulty, so how are we going to get to the stars and get it to where I want it to be, and I think the citizens want it to be — an exceptional place to be and raise their families."

"The officer can leave the ordeal thinking the driver suffered no harm. We found that the drivers do feel harm, but the officer doesn't know this."
"[In the past, studies] relied on traffic citations," Epp said. "Only about half the people who are stopped are ticketed. We suspected that the data were incomplete in a way that would skew the results."
The researchers argue in the book that investigatory stops are not a practice that should be continued by the police. They argue that the public's trust in law enforcement erodes as a result of investigatory stops.
"Citizens are less likely to communicate with police when a crime does occur, less likely to cooperate with police and even less likely to respond positively and provide information in the middle of an investigation," Haider-Markel said in a University press release.

Epp said this is often not to the knowledge of the drivers being stopped, which leads to indignation from drivers. He cited the killing of Walter Scott in South Carolina on April 4 as an investigatory stop, as Scott was initially pulled over for having a broken tail light.
"The officer can leave the ordeal thinking the driver suffered no harm." Epp said. "We found that the drivers do feel harm, but the officer doesn't know this."
Not only did the researchers speak with drivers who were pulled over, they conducted focus groups with police departments as well.
["Police officers] think [investigatory stops are] a key tool in the war on crime and the war on drugs," Epp said. "The question is, do these stops work to fight crime? The simple fact is that they don't. It turns out, in fact, that most people who are stopped are not up to no good."

Funding shortages force public libraries to adjust
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
The Kansas Center for Economic Growth's (KCEG) April report showed cuts to local communities throughout Kansas, but particularly regarding state support to libraries. For instance, the Lawrence Public Library has only received half of its allocated funds for this year.
"Our current situation is that [the state] had essentially allocated $32,000 for this year," said Kathleen Morgan, the library's director of development and strategic partnerships. "We were told the second half is questionable. Instead of holding our breath hoping it will come through, we're making adjustments while still providing the best services possible."
Though the library was recently expanded and renovated, the state was not involved as it only provides funding toward operations.
Morgan said if the rest of the funding doesn't come through, the library will do its best to not let it affect services.
"The funds over the past several years have gradually decreased, so we have come to not rely on them heavily. But that's still a lot of money that could end up helping operations, bottom line," Morgan said.
Looking at the state as a whole, from 2013 to 2014, state funding to Kansas libraries dropped by 23 percent.
Terri Summey, president of the Kansas Library Association, said the 23 percent drop in state funding to libraries has affected different libraries in different ways.
"Larger [libraries] aren't hurt as much," Summey said. "They have companies, taxes and other things that can help. Where it really hurts is the smaller or rural libraries because they rely on the money that comes through the state."
Summey said while other libraries do their best to maintain their services, they just won't be able to.
"It it gets to the point where these institutions can't trim back anymore without damaging their services," McKay said. "They are forced to close or increase property taxes."
rector of KCEG, said the goal is the same for not only libraries that are facing cuts, but schools and health departments: to keep their doors open.
McKay said these taxes aren't to make gains, but simply to maintain a basic level of operation.

President Barack Obama walks the Anhinga Trail at Everglades National Park, Fla., Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Obama visited the Everglades on Earth Day to talk about how global warming threatens the U.S. economy. He says rising sea levels are putting the "economic engine for the South Florida tourism industry" at risk.
Obama voices concern on Everglades climate damage
JOSH LEDERMAN
Associated Press
EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, Fla. (AP) — Amid lurking alligators and the steamy heat of Florida's Everglades, President Barack Obama on Wednesday sounded the alarm about damage from climate change he said was already wreaking mayhem in Florida and across the United States.
"You do not have time to deny the effects of climate change." Obama said.
In an implicit rebuke to Florida's governor and other Republicans, Obama accused those who deny the man-made causes of climate change of sticking their heads in the sand. He said rising sea levels that have infused the
Everglades with harmful salt water have already jeopardized Florida's drinking water and its $82 billion tourism industry.
Obama's quick visit to the South Florida landmark marked his latest attempt to connect the dots between carbon emissions and real-life implications. So the president ditched his usual suit and tie Wednesday for a casual shirt and sunglasses as his helicopter touched down in Everglades National Park.
The Everglades fuel the region's tourism economy and water supply. Now roughly
1. 4 million acres, the park comprises most of what's left of a unique ecosystem that once stretched as far north as Orlando.
Yet damage that started early in the 20th century, when people drained swamps to make room for homes and farms, has only grown more alarming as sea levels rise. Researchers fear by the time the water flow is fixed, the Everglades' native species could be lost to invasive plants and animals.
"This is not a problem for another generation — not anymore," Obama said. "This is a problem now. It has serious implications for the way we live right now."

Kansas needs to rethink marijuana laws
Victoria Calderon
@WriterVictoriaC
An 11-year-old from Garden City, Kan., was taken away from his mother and put in the care of the state after two ounces of cannabis oil (an amount insufficient for distribution) was found in their home. His mother, who suffers from Crohn's Disease, used the oil to alleviate the symptoms of the disease, which include abdominal pain and cramps. A warrant was obtained to search her house after the child spoke up in school, contradicting claims that were made by anti-drug counselors in class. Mic.com reports.
Calderon argues that laws on medical marijuana should be reconsidered.
However, despite her legitimate use of the oil, Kansas' strict anti-marijuana laws refused the custody of the child to the mother; according to the Washington Post, "possession of marijuana is illegal in Kansas, without exception." Although marijuana still has
not been approved by the Federal Drug Administration, 23 states have recognized that is has valuable uses for easing people of chronic pain, nausea, vomiting, symptoms of glaucoma, and more. The U.S. News and World Report also found that marijuana is especially helpful for cancer and HIV/AIDS patients - and maybe even Crohn's disease, despite minimal research available about that particular ailment.
RJ SANGOSTI/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The child is in protective custody, but his mother refuses to give up on gaining back her son. The child's parents are separated, so he could possibly end up in his father's custody. Another likely alternative would be foster care
the website for Child Protective Services states that the courts typically place children in foster care or the care of a relative after they are removed from their home.
The stigma against marijuana users is rooted in federal policies for child custody. The Huffington Post said, "there are current policies in place that assume neglect based on the mere presence of an illegal substance." Even in states where marijuana is legal, such as Colorado, this policy can
still allow a child to be taken by the state. Without doing an extensive investigation into the family to determine whether a child is neglected, the state can automatically assume the child is neglected or abused.
It is impossible to determine what the private circumstances of this particular family are; however, the child was taken away from his family solely because of the miniscule amount of cannabis oil
found in the home. There was no evidence of neglect, abuse, or failure to meet the safety needs of the child; because of the negative stigmatization of marijuana users, particularly by the Kansas government, the child is likely to be placed in foster care if the courts will not allow him to live with his mother or father.
The issue of marijuana legalization should not just be focused on "individual liberty" to engage in certain
recreational or medical activities; the movement for legalization should be concerned with accurate drug education in elementary schools, as well as the rights of parents and children. The laws in place should be altered to reflect a better understanding of medical marijuana and the people who use it.

Plus/minus scale is not an accurate grade reflection
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritzz
It has happened to me, and I am sure it has happened to someone else. I am referring to the plus-minus system certain classes have implemented, and all the times it has plummeted GPAs. A 91 percent is no longer an A, but an A minus - haunting any other A's you may have earned that semester.
Advocates for the plus-minus system may suggest that even though minuses on letter grades can harm a GPA, pluses can be added to letter grades as well, therefore balancing the system. However, that implies all students can and will get a plus letter grade to balance out the minus, which is not always the case.
The plus-minus system does give a clearer depiction of a student's efforts and understanding of the material, but the amount of damage a minus can do to a student's GPA outweighs the pros of this scale. An article from the Lawrence Journal-World gives the statistics of the harms of this grading system chosen by certain professors: "[an] 80 percent score that earns a B grade on the rest of campus often ends up a B-
consider. If this were false, employers would ask for your GPA and nothing more
in [some] schools. And the difference shows at the end of the semester: A student who gets an overall grade of B- gets a 2.7 [GPA]; a B grade earns a 3.0 GPA."
would ask for your GPA and nothing more. If students earn grades in the B range, they should get credit for a simple B. Earning a letter grade and then having that grade impacted negatively because it was in the lower end of the B range will affect students both during school and while finding employment. This is
Some may think a college GPA has little to no effect on a young adult's life once they graduate, but while in college, a student's GPA determines many large aspects of life. One's GPA determines
"EARNING A LETTER GRADE AND THEN HAVING THAT GRADE IMPACTED NEGATIVELY BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE LOWER END OF THE B RANGE WILL AFFECT STUDENTS BOTH DURING SCHOOL AND WHILE FINDING EMPLOYMENT."
whether a student gets accepted into a study abroad program or whether they can keep their scholarship at the University.
But it doesn't end there. An article from Forbes mentions a 2013 study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers that reveals 67 percent of companies said they screened candidates by their GPA.
With the importance of GPA and the pressure to be exceptional, people may argue there must be a plus-minus scale in grading or else it becomes difficult to tell which student is more apt for a job. Employers value one's GPA, as Forbes has discussed, but this is not the only thing employers will

a very high price to pay just so professors and students can have a better idea of how well they did in a course. Give students the letter grade they earned. Let the extracurricular activities and leadership skills differentiate students for hiring instead of a.1 difference on a GPA.

"I don't think children should be taken away from their parents, no matter what, on a first offense for something like that. But I'm not really a supporter of marijuana, so I can't be completely OK with it either. But I do think there should be a little bit more of a relaxation of laws when it involves kids, because they're the most important things."

"I think absolutely not, it [marijuana] should be decriminalized for things like that, especially when it's not going to affect the child at all. Obviously, if it's something where its abuse, then obviously that, or if it's some sort of other addiction that the mother may have, but if it's used medically, and especially if it's not affecting the child at all, then no, definitely not, especially if it's causing more stress to the child for his mom to get in trouble

PUTTING PEP IN THEIR STEP
Marching Jayhawks help kick off spring football game
KANSAS
IKELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordinglev
Volunteers from the 200-member Marching Jayhawks will help pump up Kansas football fans at Saturday's spring football game. The game starts at 1 p.m.
All eyes will be on the Jayhawks football players Saturday, April 25, as they strip up for the spring football game. But the pep in their step and excitement in the stands will be contributed, in part, by the Marching Jayhawks marching band.

"When we're there, we help get people pumped up for football season," said junior Karynn Glover from Olathe, one of the three drum majors on the Marching Jayhawks. "I think it's a good encourager for the football players, and it gets them pumped up for what they can do in the season against other opponents."
Every year at the spring football game, volunteers from the 200-member Marching Jayhawks play in the stands. Director Matthew O. Smith said this is a good way for some students to get reacquainted with their instruments.
"For some students, they haven't touched their horns since the last performance last year or our last rehearsals in the fall," Smith said. "It's a good way to get back in the swing of things and get back in the stadium, have a good time with each other and see what the football team has to offer."
Smith also said members have already begun to discuss changes for next season and set groundwork.
"I spend part of the off-season looking at comments from last year," Smith said. "The nearest thing is — and maybe it comes with the warm weather — the buzz of after we get through finals week as we look ahead to next year."
"I thought that was really cool, so when I came to KU, I was like 'You know what? I want to do that,'" she said. "It looked really cool. It turned out to be even better than I imagined."
Glover said she became involved in the Marching Jayhawks because shed been in high school marching band and had seen the Marching Jayhawks perform during a competition.
they found a lot of their best friends," he said. "And they enjoyed being members of a larger group they could all contribute to and have a sense of pride in their work."
"A lot of students continue in college marching band because of the positive experience they had in high school marching band where
That transition is something Smith said is common for many members of the Marching Jayhawks.
Having been a drum major for three years, Glover said she can't imagine her college experience without the Marching Jayhawks.
Being such a large group, Smith said there's a wide array of majors and that promotes a social environment he's proud of.
"We want to promote a family atmosphere," he said. "Marching band, for a lot of our students, is a social release from their academics and other pursuits they may have, work-related or [otherwise]."
"Without being in it, I wouldn't feel as if I fit in as much as I do here at KU," she said. "I love going to football games and making sure they have motivation and getting the crowd involved. I love it."
Whether our football team is winning or losing, Glover said they aim to encourage the athletes and excite the fans.
"I think my favorite thing is the fact that the people in band — and our directors — [are] all on the same page," she said. "We want to perform well, we want to have fun and we want to be there to motivate the athletes we perform for, and feel like [the students] get involved."
The Marching Jayhawks, with more than 100 years of tradition, will play fight songs for the spring football game at 1 p.m., April 25, at Memorial Stadium.
Director Matthew O. Smith said it's important to have a family environment for the 200 band members so everyone feels valued and appreciated.

Student-created film festival begins Friday
ANDREW COLLINS
@KansanNews
The See/Saw Film Festival will begin on Friday, April 24, and hold screenings of several films and discussion panels with select films at the Lawrence Public Library and one at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union before concluding on Sunday, April 26. This is the event's first year, and it was started by doctoral students Sorcha Hyland, Wexford, Ireland, and Maggie Beneke, Princeton, Ill.
The festival will include films of many genres including documentaries, fictional narratives, animations, feature-length films, short films and local films. The films will primarily target adult audiences, but a family movie night is scheduled for Friday at the Lawrence Public Library, featuring the film "Song of the Sea," an Oscar-nominated animation from Ireland, with a discussion panel for kids with a character from the movie.
"It's about inclusivity and what it means to grow up in the 21st century."
The films cover a variety of topics that range from teenagers facing tough economic times to inspirational stories of overcoming the odds. Hyland said the film festival is meant to be a campus community event, and to focus on that rather than on poverty or
SORCHA HYLAND Doctoral student from Wexford, Ireland
"Whether you're white and privileged or black and privileged - or wherever you come from - at some point, you will experience struggle, and it's how children and young people navigate and deal with struggle that we want to focus on," Hyland said. "It's also how your community supports you or doesn't support you in navigating that struggle."
Hyland said the stereotype of poverty and sadness is a correlation that is made far too often today in society, and it's an issue that will be addressed through the See/Saw Film Festival.
disability, which are the two main themes of the films that will be shown.
"It's about inclusivity and what it means to grow up in the 21st century," Hyland said.
TOP4 FILMS SHOWING AT THE FESTIVAL:
At 14 years old, Kenneth Young was arrested in Florida on four counts of armed robbery and sentenced to four consecutive life sentences a year later at 15 years old. The film brings you inside the life of Kenneth Young, now 24, and his struggle for redemption. The film includes interviews with Kenneth, his family and civil rights workers as they fight for Young's rights and against an unjust system.

JONES FROM
Dakota influenced his creative process.
"I feel like I have more of an emotional connection to the script," he said. "I feel like all the characters in my script are more real because they're loosely based off things that happened. There's a lot of things up there that most people don't know about. People die all the time up there. There's a lot of prostitution, and people get kidnapped and sold into sex-trafficking. That's normal, that happens all the time up there. So those events really do give me an emotional attachment to what I'm writing about. I want to do to justice and portray it as real as it is. It's easy to write about and hard to write about at the same time."
For the time being, Jones plans on furthering his career by auditioning for parts in the Kansas City area. He
said his advice for University students who are currently pursuing an acting career is don't be afraid to take risks.
"Don't let anybody ever tell you no," Jones said. "There are always going to be nay-sayers and doubters in pretty much everything that you do. Get creative. Reinvent yourself and make yourself unique. I'm super country, and every time I go into an audition, that's the first thing that comes across, but I can do anything, and I'm comfortable in my own skin."

Second royal baby: Destined to be a 'spare to the heir'?
Britain's Prince William and Prince Harry (left) leave the civil wedding ceremony of their father Britain's Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, at the Guildhall in Windsor, England, on April 9, 2005. Prince Harry, the second son of Prince Charles and Diana, Harry is often seen as the mischievous one, the fun-loving counterpart to the more staid — some say dull — William.
SYLVIA HUI Associated Press
Three years on, interest surrounding the young royals' second child — a younger brother or sister to George — is notably more subdued. Part of it may be that the novelty of seeing "Kate and Wills" as parents has worn off. But it's also inevitable given the royal succession rule, in which the throne always passes to the eldest child. Second-born royals in the line of succession rarely have to worry about one day becoming king or queen — they are known half-jokingly as the "spares to the heir".
PRINCE HARRY (BORN 1984)
DAVE CAULKIN/ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON - When Prince William and Kate announced they were expecting their first child in 2012, the appetite for royal baby news seemed insatiable.
Like many other royals, Harry chose a military career and has served in Afghanistan. That will likely continue to be his main role as he gets bumped further down the line of succession. The new royal baby will see Harry relegated to fifth in line.
While eldest children have their destinies carved out from birth, many royal "spares" have struggled to find meaningful public roles.
"It's always been a rather unenviable situation. There are often shades of jealousy, evident in the current queen and her sister," said Joe Little, managing editor at Britain's Majesty magazine, referring to Princess Margaret and Queen Elizabeth II.
It's a position that brings far less responsibility, but also fewer privileges than those enjoyed by the heir apparent. It's also one that attracts relentless public scrutiny.
Andrew, . the queen's second son and Charles' younger brother, gets more press than fellow siblings Anne and Edward — but for all the wrong reasons.
The prince enjoyed a successful naval career as a helicopter pilot and served in the Falklands War, yet that record has been overshadowed in recent years by headlines about his friendship with several controversial figures, notably U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein, a registered
Not all younger royal children spend their lives waiting in the wings, heading charities and cutting ribbons. Elizabeth's grandfather, George V, inherited the throne in 1910 after his elder brother died of pneumonia. George VI, another second son, became king after his brother abdicated in 1936.
The second son of Prince Charles and Diana, Harry is often seen as the mischievous one, the fun-loving counterpart to the more staid — some say dull — William. Harry came of age under full public scrutiny, and through the years he has sparked some scandalous headlines. He admitted to smoking cannabis and drinking in his teenage years, and in 2004 he was photographed scuffling with a photographer outside a London nightclub
A couple of incidents were particularly embarrassing for the royals: When the prince was photographed wearing a Nazi-themed costume to a fancy dress party, prompting the headline "Harry the Nazi," and more recently when he was pictured partying naked in Las Vegas.
PRINCE ANDREW (BORN 1960)
sex offender. Andrew stepped down from his role as a trade envoy in 2011 as questions mounted, and this year he had to publicly deny claims that he had sex with an underage woman.
Andrew, who is divorced from Sarah Ferguson — known as Fergie — has also long been criticized for his opulent, globe-trotting lifestyle, and his romantic links to a number of models and starlets have attracted unwelcome nicknames like "Randy Andy."
Andrew will become sixth in line to the throne with the baby's birth.
PRINCESS MARGARET (1930-2002)
Four years younger than the queen, Margaret was Elizabeth's only sister. With her film-star looks and vivacious personality, Margaret lived a glamorous and sometimes controversial life, and many remember her best for her turbulent romances.
The princess's relationship with divorced pilot Peter Townsend was frowned upon by Winston Churchill and the Church of England, among
others. In 1955, aged 25, she declared she had decided against marrying him, "conscious of my duty to the Commonwealth."
Margaret later married photographer Antony Armstrong-jones, a supposed "commoner," and the couple became the heart of a fashionable set in the Swinging London scene of the '60s and '70s. The princess was often snapped dancing late into the night, threw famous parties in the Caribbean and mixed with pop stars like Mick Jagger.
Before the couple divorced, Margaret met Roddy Llewellyn, 17 years her junior, sparking a relationship that prompted huge media coverage.
Margaret's health declined in her 60s, after a lifetime of alcohol and cigarettes. She died in 2002, aged 71.
KING GEORGE VI (1895-1952)
The father of the queen, George VI born Albert
— became the unexpected king when his elder brother, Edward VIII, abdicated in 1936 after a reign that lasted just 11 months. Edward,
often portrayed as a raffish playboy, had abandoned the throne to marry his mistress, the divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson.
A shy man with a stammer, George had to restore public faith in the monarchy and be the symbolic leader of a country at war with Germany. The Oscar-winning film "The King's Speech," which dramatized the story of how he overcame his initial struggles as monarch, reignited interest in his often overlooked life.

Thank You, Big Event
THIS WEEKEND AT
This week, we have to give a huge shout out to the 3600+ volunteers and leaders of the Big Event.
After months of planning and coordinating with some 311 Lawrence community members on project needs, Saturday's event was cancelled on Friday after the organization's leadership was advised by the National Weather Service of predications of substantial rainfall as well as dangerous thunderstorms.
For those who aren't familiar with the Big Event, it is a huge undertaking. Each year, The Big Event pairs thousands of KU volunteers with hundreds of community job sites to accomplish the largest single day of service in Lawrence. As a way of saying thank you to the supporting community, the Big Event provides Lawrence residents with a cost-free, helping hand on projects around their neighborhoods or households. Volunteers assist community members with everything from painting projects, yard work, household projects and even spring cleaning.

Kansas football to host student appreciation day
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
CAMPUS CHALLENGE WITH DAVID BEATY
11:30 A.M. - 1 P.M.
WATSON LIBRARY LAWN
OPEN PRACTICE WITH LIVE DJ AND CONTESTS 4-6 P.M.
Kansas football coach David Beaty isn't only trying to shift the culture on the field, but also among students of the University when it comes to athletics. That shift has already begun on the field, but on Thursday, it also begins for the student body.
Beaty and the football team will hold a campus challenge on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the Watson Library Lawn, only two days before Saturday's spring game. Beaty will host the challenge, and plans to meet students at the event. The event will be followed by an open practice with a live DJ and contests from 4-6 p.m.
"There's a lot of different things that we've got going on," Beaty said. "We're trying to get to know [the students] and seeing if we can get them to want to stay a whole game... to not just always leave at halftime, or that kind of stuff."
Beaty was with Kansas football in 2008, 2009 and 2011. With attendance down in 2014, Beaty plans to do something
about that. To bring attendance up, and recruits coming in, he must get the students to buy in, and get to know the team.
"I want our university and the students of our university to have ownership of our program," Beaty said. "In order for you to understand what people do, you have to be educated about it, and the only way you do that is by spending time with them, and educating them on who you are, and what you do, and why you're doing what you're doing, and how they can be of help.
"They are absolutely necessary, for a program to become relevant. It had so much to do with them."
By developing a relationship with students, Beaty hopes to bring back enthusiasm of his past days to the program.
"We want it to be exactly what it is here: the wildest, craziest bunch of students in the country," Beaty said. "They're the next piece in the process."
The challenge will consist of three events: the strikeout challenge, pop-a-shot and the bag toss. There are two in particular the students won't be able to match him -in, according to Beaty, who is a former quarterback.
"They're going to have a hard time of beating me in cornhole," Beaty said. "There's a football/baseball throw that they're going to have a hard time beating me in, too. I've got a pretty good motion still. Until I get the rotator cuff out of wack, I should be OK."

It's almost game day for Kansas football. Well, sort of.
Coach David Beaty will wrap up his first spring as head coach of the Kansas football program with the annual Spring game on Saturday. It'll be the first time Kansas fans will get a look at the new regime: Rob Likens' fast-paced offense, the almost completely new defensive unit and a glimpse at who may be under center come Fall.
Every starting spot has been placed under the "Earn It" umbrella by the football staff, but it hasn't been clear who has completed that off-uttered task. On Saturday, it will finally be revealed who the coaching staff believes "earned it" through 15 spring practices, with many more opportunities to come.
The position to keep your eyes peeled for is. running back. With a handful of guys who are returning — upcoming sophomore Corey Avery, upcoming senior DeAndre Mann, redshirt senior Taylor Cox and the versatile Keaun Kinner, who dominated at the junior college level last year — it's sure to be an interesting
Cox will return from back-to-back season-ending injuries for his sixth and final season at Kansas. It wouldn't be surprising to see Cox get the starting job — he's the biggest back of the four and has earned the trust of the coaches over his time at Kansas.
"For a guy to go through all of the things he's had to go through to be here... he'll be able to make a major contribution," running backs coach Reggie Mitchell said.
Cox has always brought his size as a running back, but under the tutelage of James Sims and learning at this level, his mental game has risen to another level.
"It slowed down for him," Mitchell said of Cox. "That's improvement, because when the game slows down, you're able to see things that you didn't see before, so he has a little bit more patience."
Kinner will add an interesting dynamic himself. At just
5-foot-9, Kinner was the fastest guy on his Navarro junior college team and toe-to-toe with high school teammate Jaylen Price — now a defensive back for Montana State. With speed like that, he's often compared to Tony Pierson, who carried the ball 72 times as a utility player in his senior season last fall.
---
"It matters to them who goes out there. As coaches, we're evaluating all of them... We want to get through it without any injuries."
REGGIE MITCHELL Running backs coach
"He's bigger than Tony was," Mitchell said. "He's a little bit thicker, and bigger than what you would think when you get up on him... I don't know if his size will be that big of a factor. He's probably more elusive than you would think. He's been a pleasant surprise."
It's also not easy to discount Avery or Mann, who switched back and forth to combine for more than half of last year's touches out of the backfield. With a backfield stacked with talent, it's likely the team will feature a multi-headed backfield.
"It's not a problem for me," Kinner said. "Those are my brothers, for real. All the backs that we've got, they've got a lot to bring to the table. Everybody does something different. We don't all run alike."
As for the coaches, after they complete the next two days of practice, they plan on sitting down as a staff and hammering out the starting lineups. As of now, no decisions have been made for Saturday's game.
"It matters to them who goes out there," Mitchell said. "As coaches, we're evaluating all of them... We want to get through it without any injuries."

Women's tennis looks to rebound in Championships
JACOB CLEMEN
@iclemn9
Kansas women's tennis will look to reverse its fortunes against ranked opponents when it heads to the Big 12 Championships in Waco, Texas, this weekend.
The Jayhawks' sixth-place finish in the Big 12 earned them a matchup with No. 11 Oklahoma State, the three seed in the tournament, Kansas lost its only matchup with the Cowgirls 4-0 in Stillwater behind strong performances from OSU's freshman Vladica Babic and junior Maria Alvarez.
Kansas was able to rebound
from the loss to defeat No. 29 Oklahonta in a come-from-behind fashion just two days later, and the Jayhawks appeared to have put their struggles against ranked teams behind them.
"We talked all week about knowing we could win these types of matches," coach Todd Chapman said in a press release following the Jayhawk win against Oklahoma. "We have been so close all year and lost so many close matches. It was great to see one through."
Last week, however, the Jayhawks failed to claim a single point in two matches against No. 8 Baylor and No. 32 Texas while battling sickness and injury. The jayhawks are tasked with getting to full health and regaining the form that saw them compete closely with three ranked opponents in No. 46 Tulsa, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.
Since its match against Kansas, Oklahoma State has seen overwhelmingly different results. While Kansas failed to win a point in its two matches, the Cowgirls swept each of its final three matches, winning every available point on its way to a 7-2 conference record.

TOURNAMENT OUTLOOK
THE TORUNAMIENT GULESUN
The Kansas women's golf team will head down to Old Dominion Country Club in San Antonio this weekend to participate in postseason play at the Big 12 Championships. Last year the championship took place at the home of the Texas Longhorns UT Golf Club in Austin where the Oklahoma Sooners claimed victory. The Sooners also crowned the individual champion Chiripat lao-javanil.
Each team will have five golfers competing and there will be both individual and team champions. Each day's scores determine final team scores and individual scores are composed of the lowest
of the five golfers competing. This year, 54 holes will be played over three days, April 24-26.
JAYHAWKS' CHANCES
The five likely golfers traveling to Texas are seniors Gabriella DiMarco, Michelle Woods and Minami Levonowich, and juniors Yupaporn Kawinpakorn and Pornvipa Sakdee. The lajhwacks finish their year playing 25 total rounds shooting 7,527 strokes. The team scoring average to finish the year was 301.1.
Team leaders over the year consisted of Kawinpakorn, Sakdee, DiMarco and Woods. They played in all nine events this year and competed in all 25 rounds.
Kawinpakorn's lowest round on the年垫 with Sakdee
for a team low of 68. Kawinpakorn had a team-leading three rounds in the 60s. Based on the season outlook, Kawinpakorn could take the individual title, which would be the first time a layhawk has ever won the title outright.
JAYHAWKS IN LAST YEAR'S TOURNAMENT
Last year the Jayhawks finished tied for fourth. That was the best finish since the 1992 championship when the Big 12 was the Big Eight. Back then the Jayhawks finished third. They will look to have their best finish ever as a team this year.
Live scoring of the Championship can be followed at big12sports.com.
in Waco, Texas.

Coach Chapman said the team's focus was getting healthy and preparing for a strong opponent in Oklahoma State.
"We are going to take a few days off and get healthy and get ready for the Big 12 tournament." Chapman said in a press release.
Kansas will square off with Oklahoma State in the first match of the day at 9 a.m. Friday in the Hurd Tennis Center

Softball prepares for weekend battle with Oklahoma
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek skillett
The Jayhawks softball team (34-8, 4-5) will get its toughest test of Big 12 conference play this weekend as it prepares to take on the No. 5 Sooners. Kansas will play Oklahoma at 5 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Saturday and noon Sunday at Arrocha Ballpark in Rock Chalk Park.
The layhawks are coming off a midweek victory against the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars. They defeated the Cougars by a score of 6-4 but had to rely on some clutch pitching from sophomore Sophia Templin
to close it out.
Junior Chaley Brickey leads the Jayhawks with 57 hits and 12 home runs. Senior Maddie Stein ranks second on the team with 48 hits and 14 doubles.
"We have to focus on ourselves," coach Megan Smith said. "Oklahoma, every single year, is a top-five team. We have to focus on us and what we need to do to be successful, whether that's playing good defense, fighting through adversity and having quality at-bats."
The Sooners (39-6, 11-1) have won seven of their
past eight games, including series wins against the Texas Longhorns and the No. 14 Baylor Bears. While the Sooners do not have many losses, they have consistently competed against the best teams in the country, losing games to No. 14 Georgia and No. 3 LSU.
"Oklahoma has one of the best offenses in the country," Smith said. "They have two players who are top-five in the NCAA home run records. They have a freshman pitcher who has been lights out. They play great defense and they expect to win every time they
go out onto the field."
Offensively, powerhouse senior Lauren Chamberlain, who will enter the weekend with a 409 batting average and has recorded 47 hits, 54 runs scored, 18 home runs and 54 RBIs this season, will lead the Sooners. Earlier this month, Chamberlain tied the NCAA record for most career home runs. She has racked up 90 home runs during her career.
Junior Erin Miller will enter the weekend boasting a .427 batting average and has recorded 50 hits, 42 runs scored and 43 RBIs this
season. Junior Kady, Self is another offensive contributor for the Sooners. Self comes to Lawrence with a .417 batting average and has recorded 45 hits, 38 runs scored, nine home runs and 35 RBIs this season.
Freshman pitcher Paige Parker leads the Oklahoma pitching staff with a 1.49 ERA and has recorded 158 strikeouts and allowed 100 hits and 36 scores. Parker has compiled a 20-4 record this season. Junior Kelsey Stevens is the second most accomplished pitcher for the Sooners. Stevens owns a 3.77
ERA and has recorded 67 strikeouts, while allowing 47 hits and 40 scores.
we have a team that can compete with Oklahoma," Smith said. "Our coaching staff believes it and the players believe it when they step out there."
Up next, the Jayhawks will get a Tuesday matchup with the Wichita State Shockers before hosting the No.14 Baylor Bears next weekend. The Wichita State game will be broadcast on Jayhawk Television and ESPN3.

Kansas rowing set to compete in first conference regatta
GRIFFIN HUGHES
@GriffinJHughes
After a successful weekend in New Jersey at the Knecht Cup, the rowing team is set to compete in the Big 12 and Big Ten Double Dual on Saturday.
After Kansas' First Varsity Eight boat was selected as the Big 12 Boat of the Week, coach Rob Catloth's team is heading to Kansas City with high hopes for the Big 12 competition.
The team finished strong at the Knecht Cup, never finishing below fourth in any final event in the tournament in West Windsor Township, N.J. The First Varsity Eight boat won the Petite Final in the Knecht Cup, so the boat, led by seniors Claudijah Lever and Brooke Thuston, will have an impressive performance to follow up in the last April tournament.
The weather for the regatta in Kansas City, Kan., is supposed to be a little better than the windy conditions and choppy waters the team ran into in New Jersey. There is a 40 percent chance
of precipitation during the regatta this weekend; however, the temperature is expected to be in the mid-60s and low 70s - perfect rowing conditions.
For the Jayhawks to have success in the regatta, they'll need to see contributions from their Second Varsity Eight boat and their Varsity Four boats. Catloth and the team are acutely aware they need contributions from all the teams, and it all starts with the leaders on the boats. All season, Lever has been the leader on the water and in the weight room, and the team continues to look to her as a source of leadership.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Did the Royals react properly against the Athletics?
Sean Collins
@seanzie 3
YES
Unlike past years, the Royals have many positive things going for them. Some of that includes winning and having uncanny amounts of talent in every facet of the diamond and at the plate. Another is a sense of camaraderie within the dugout. This was shown in the Royals' series against the Oakland Athletics.
Last Friday, Brett Lawrie of Oakland made a nasty slide into second base, where he took out shortstop Alcides Escobar's ankles. Escobar was injured on the play and had to miss the remainder of the three-game series.
In baseball, when a teammate is taken out, retaliation is common. To get even, pitcher Yordano Ventura threw a heated fastball right at the midsection of Lawrie the following night. Ventura was ejected from the game immediately.
When a player on your team is on the other end of a nasty
play or a wild pitch, many teams see it fit to get an eye for an eye, and that's what the Royals did. Despite how it is seen through the media, the Royals had to defend their teammates, and Ventura's pitch was not the final act of retaliation.
In Sunday night's matchup, Oakland pitcher Scott Kazmir nailed the foot of outfielder Lorenzo Cain at the beginning of the game. It could be argued it was an accident, but aside from this pitch, Kazmir's accuracy was great the rest of the game. Both Royals' manager Ned Yost and
WHEN A PLAYER ON YOUR TEAM IS ON THE OTHER END OF A NASTY PLAY OR A WILD PITCH, MANY TEAMS SEE IT FIT TO GET AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND THAT'S WHAT THE ROYALS DID."
pitching coach Dave Eland were thrown out of the game for yelling at the ampire about
the incident.
In the eight inning, pitcher Kelvin Herrera threw another fastball at Lawrie, missing behind him. Of course, Herrera was ejected, as the peg was clearly intentional and in retaliation. Herrera then walked toward the dugout and sent a message to Oakland by pointing to his head looking at the As dugout: Don't mess with the Royals.
The national media wrongfully blames Herrera and the Royals for taking things too far. Perhaps from the national perspective, it appears that way. But here locally it was just the Royals responding to the Athletics' retaliation. Herrera was just sticking up for his teammates.
Amie Just
@Amie Just
Not only was Herrera standing up for Cain and Escobar, but for Yost. As a result of his players getting injured, Yost got heated and was ejected. Herrera's action may have looked bad to the public, but it got the team and the fans energized. It's very possible their actions gave the Royals the momentum to win, as Cain was able to bring in a run to tie the game. The Royals eventually defeated Oakland 6-4, not to say it was because of Herrera's actions, but he definitely had his team's back.

Everything was on the line in October. The Kansas City Royals hadn't advanced to postseason play since 1985. The Oakland Athletics won the AL West just the year before. In the lone one-game series of either team's season, emotions were running high.
In a 12-inning thriller, Kansas City came from behind in the bottom of the 12th to snag Oakland's postseason dreams out from under them. And Oakland didn't forget.
Oakland found Kansas City on its schedule early this season, and the first game set the tone for the series.
All was calm until the top of the seventh, when Oakland third baseman Brett Lawrie slid hard into second, and consequently kicked the left calf of Kansas City shortstop Alcides Escobar.
Royals dugout made its way on the field.
This incident spurred insanity for the rest of the series. Umpires tossed out Royal after Royal after Royal. The grand total of ejections summed up to six.
Escobar hobbled off the field with the help of team personnel, and the entire
In game two, Kansas City pitcher Yordano Ventura served up some vigilante justice of his own, pelting Lawrie on a 99-mph fastball. Ventura was booted for his actions.
The rest of the ejections came in game three.
The first ousting of the game occurred in the first inning. Umpires bounced Kansas City manager Ned Yost and pitching coach Dave Eiland after Oakland pitcher Scott Kazmir took a shot at Kansas City outfielder Lorenzo Cain.
Things went from tense to nearly reminiscent of "Fight Club" in the eighth inning.
To no one's surprise, retaliation was directed at Lawrie. Only this time, it was Kansas City pitcher Kelvin Herrera dishing out the justice. To Lawrie's relief, the 100-mph fastball missed him, flying directly behind him. Umpires ejected Herrera for the pitch.
Kansas City bench coach Don Wakamatsu, the acting manager after Yost was tossed, was subsequently bounced
after getting into an argument, as was Escobar.
After the game, Herrera blamed the pitch on the inclimate conditions and said he had no intention of hurting
"RETALIATING IN THE MANNER THAT THE ROYALS DID WAS CHILDISH AND UNCALLED FOR."
anyone.
Were the Royals right in their plight? Absolutely not. This isn't hockey. Every time you feel slighted doesn't mean carrying out vengeance is the way to go about things.
Six ejections? Six? That's almost record-breaking. When three coaches have been ejected, that is a clear sign that something is wrong. It's unprofessional to get angry about calls that don't go your way.
Yes, I feel bad about Escobar's injury, and I don't believe Lawrie was in the right. However, retaliating in the manner the Royals did was childish and uncalled for.
Hopefully the toddler-like attitudes are at bay in June during the next series between these two.

THE MORNING BREW
Breaking down the top candidates for Thunder coaching vacancy
Every time an attractive NBA coaching position opens up, Kansas fans expect to see Bill Self in the mix. However, while he may be a top-tier college coach, and may even be considered one of the more likely candidates to make the jump from college to the NBA in general, he isn't exactly best fit for the Oklahoma City Thunder opening for Sam Presti's position. However, for the position, there are certainly plenty of qualified candidates.
BILLY DONOVAN
The Florida head coach has emerged as perhaps the top candidate for the Oklahoma City job. In fact, in a recent article, CBS Sports' Ken Berger wrote about why it's a perfect fit, much of which comes from Donovan's personality.
According to an anonymous source listed in the article, Donovan has become "tired of recruiting," but he didn't want to leave unless he felt he would be entering a winning situation.
Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU
Oklahoma City is certainly there.
Oklahoma City is certainly there. While Donovan's Florida squad struggled last year, going just 16-17, his track record is actually quite strong. Prior to last season, Donovan's Gators posted at least 20-or-more wins in each of the last 16 seasons, hitting the 29-win total six times. Florida also won two National Championships under Donovan, while leading the nation in wins on three separate occasions.
Should the opportunity present itself, it seems that Donovan and OKC could be a match made in heaven, and many analysts see the opportunity being one that'd be hard to pass up for any candidate.
KEVIN OLLIE
Connecticut Huskies men's basketball coach Kevin Ollie has one quality that may prove to be the most important in the Oklahoma City coaching discussion: keeping Kevin Durant happy.
Durant's contract will expire in 2016, which has led to talk that he could leave to return home to Washington, D.C., to become a member of the Washington Wizards. Durant was on record as being a big fan of Scott Brooks, and Oklahoma City will definitely look to hire a coach who doesn't upset its star.
In an interview, Durant credited Ollie for changing the "whole culture in Oklahoma City" for in Ollie's lone season, the Thunder's win total improved from 23 games to 50 games, while making the playoffs.
Now, Ollie does have a difficult buyout clause in his contract at UConn, which serves as perhaps the biggest roadblock for the hiring. However, despite this and a public statement by Ollie that he is not looking at other opportunities, Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that Ollie still has "significant interest."
I think we've learned by now never to doubt Woi.
Current Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau is another name that has been thrown around for the position, despite the fact that his team is still playing — and playing quite well, at the moment.
TOM THIBODEAU
Although several key players suffered injuries, the Bulls finished the regular season 50-32, posting the third-best record in the Eastern Conference. Currently, they also hold a 2-0 series lead over the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the playoffs, but Thibodeau's status is up in the air.
Earlier this year, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reported that "several league sources" believed the relationship between Thibodeau and
For Oklahoma City, though. it's a perfect match.
the front office was beyond repair, which led many to speculate Thibodeau's tenure as Bulls coach could be all but over.
Additionally, Chicago tied for the third best field-goal percentage defense and second-best three-point percentage defense in the NBA last year. Oklahoma City was worse by a margin of 5-8 percentage points in both areas.
However, it remains to be seen if the Thunder will be patient enough to see how the events turn out in Chicago before hiring the next coach.
BEST OF THE REST
While those three candidates are the leaders at this point, there are certainly others who could emerge as contenders. Should OKC look to hire a current NBA assistant, Alvin Gentry (Golden State) or Chip Engelland
Thibodeau brings a hardnosed defensive style and toughness that the Thunder lacked last year, allowing 101.8 points per game; that number ranked 24th in the NBA, while Chicago clocked in at ninth, 15 spots higher.
THE BREW
(San Antonio) could be on the move. After all, Gentry has had success both as an assistant coach and a head coach, while Engelland has a strong relationship with Presti, according to NewsOK.com's Anthony Slater.
Oklahoma City could also look at Fred Hoiberg of Iowa State, who has implemented a successful NBA-style offense at the college level. Although, at the moment, Hoiberg is being viewed as a likely replacement candidate for Thibodeau in Chicago.
They could also take the unorthodox route and hire current ESPN broadcaster (and former Golden State head coach) Mark Jackson, who last coached in the 2013-14 season.
Regardless, there will be no shortage of candidates for the Thunder position, considering the talented young core that's in place, and there's certainly no need for Presti to rush and hire someone now, especially if the top candidates are unavailable.

Kansas football plays annual spring game on Saturday | PAGE 8A
COMMENTARY Schneider is the perfect hire for Kansas
+ Vc
Rock chalk. It has been 20 years since Brandon Schneider made the vow that he'd utter those two words when the time was right. Driving back from a Roy Williams basketball practice, the young basketball junkie knew exactly where he saw his career path going.
Shane Jackson
@jacksonshane3
On Tuesday, in front of his friends and family in the media room of Allen Fieldhouse, he finally uttered those two sacred words.
After being a head coach for 17 seasons that included 401 wins, 14 postseason appearances, consecutive Southland Conference Championships and an NCAA Division II National Championship, Schneider became a Jayhawk.
Kansas Director of Athletics Sheahon Zenger made that possible, inking Schneider to a five-year contract with a base annual salary of $300,000 with incentives based on conference success.
Schneider stood out of a starting list of 60 names because he was the perfect fit.
The list goes on why Schneider is the perfect fit as he becomes the first male in program history to direct the women's team. Arguably the top reason on that list is the identity this team will take with Schneider at the helm.
MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN
Schneider has built his teams on four principles that he has used dating back to his first head coaching gig at Emporia State at age 26: His players will play hard, exude toughness, be coachable and have team unity.
Instead, Kansas is equipped with an abundance of young and agile guards, led by soon-to-be sophomore point guard Lauren Aldridge, who seems very capable of directing an up-tempo offense.
No one knows how long the rebuilding process will take. But with his track record, it's not unimaginable to foresee Schneider one day cutting down a pair of nets.
This up-tempo style of offense seems ideal with the team Schneider inherits. Gone is the towering Chelsea Gardner who anchored the Jayhawks for several years.
Edited by Callie Byrnes
Schneider understands the challenges that await him in the Big 12. The "fire-breathing dragon"-filled conference has gotten the best of Kansas with its superior talent. It's one of the many reasons why his predecessor failed to accomplish a conference-winning record in 11 seasons.
That is why Schneider doesn't promise any wins, but instead promises his team will out-hustle and be more conditioned than its counterparts. In a sport in which there is no real parity, the difference might just come down to who is willing to dive for the loose ball.
Schneider compared his style of coaching to another new Jayhawk, football coach David Beaty. Both coaches prefer to score and score quickly in their respective sports.

@derek_skillett
The Jayhawks (34-8, 4-5) got back to their winning ways Wednesday afternoon with a huge 6-4 victory against the Southern Illinois-Edwardsville Cougars (35-11, 16-4). This was the final game in the out-of-conference break for the Jayhawks, who were defeated by Tulsa on Sunday and will face No. 5 Oklahoma on Friday.
It seemed like Kansas would cruise to a blowout victory after the third quarter when the Jayhawks held a 5-1 lead. But after the sixth inning, the Cougars had cut Kansas' lead to 6-4.
"We played a team that is a top-40 team in the country," said Kansas coach Megan Smith. "We knew that they were going to continue to put pressure on us. They're the type of team that the further the game goes, the more they fight and scrape. They're a very scrappy team.
"We anticipated a tough battle today," Smith added. "We got a little comfortable lead, but none of us felt comfortable because we knew the type of team that was in that dugout."
Junior Shannon McGinley led the Kansas offense Wednesday, recording two hits against an extremely tough Cougars pitching staff. McGinley also recorded an RBI. Freshman Erin McGinley, receiving her first extended action of the season, only recorded one hit, but knocked in two RBIs.
"They were great today. Shannon has hit a little rough
patch in her hitting, but is working out of it and has done really well the past few weeks," Smith said. "Erin has just gotten her opportunity and has taken advantage of it the past two games. Today, both of them were great."
Freshman Bryn Houlton got the start at pitcher for the Jayhawks, recording two strikeouts in the five innings she
Senior Alicia Pille replaced Houlton in the sixth inning, but uncharacteristically struggled to put away batters, allowing two hits while only recording one strikeout.
pitched. Houlton allowed six hits and four runs during her time in the circle.
With the Cougars threatening in the seventh inning, the jayhawks turned to sophomore Sophia Templin, who kept SIU-Edwardsville off the boards with a go-ahead strike-out to end the game.
“[Templin] was great,” Smith said. “We noticed with Bryn throwing that they struggled with off-speed and thought that she could come in and save the game for us, and she certainly did that. She was tough and came through for us.”
Over the past few games, the Jayhawks have struggled to put away teams in the later innings, allowing teams like Texas Tech and Tulsa to make late comebacks and win. This was not the case Wednesday.
"We lived winning one-run games at the beginning of our season," Smith said, "and then the last few we've dropped. It's good to come out and win a tough, close game against a quality opponent like SIUE."
Up next, the Jayhawks will receive their toughest test of the Big 12 conference schedule: a three-game weekend series against the No. 5 Oklahoma Sooners on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The first game against the Sooners will be at 5 p.m. Friday.

@EvanRiggs1E
After a big win over in-state rival Wichita State, the Jayhawks (17-24, 4-8) will hit the road this weekend to take on the West Virginia Mountaineers (23-15, 5-7) in a critical conference series.
@EvanRiggs15
"It's a huge series because they are ahead of us in the standings," coach Ritch Price said. "There's a lot riding on this series for us. We need to get the younger guys into the tournament so they experience it, so when I have more experience a year from now, we are capable of being in the top 25."

road this season and 1-5 in the Big 12. However, the Mountaineers offer a good matchup for the Jayhawks in that regard. In conference play, they are just 1-2 at home, but have been better (9-3) for the season.

Kansas senior infielder Justin Protocio hits the ball near the end of the game against Wichita State on Tuesday. The Jayhawks defeated the Shockers 11-6.
The Mountaineers batting lineup will present a big challenge for the Jayhawks pitching staff. They ranked sixth in the Big 12 with a .277 batting average, but first in home runs with 39. Every player in their starting lineup has hit a home run this season, and five players have more than 20 RBIs.
Shortstop Taylor Munden has had a spectacular hitting season with nine home runs and 24 RBIs, and he poses the biggest threat to the Jayhawks pitching staff.

Junior Ben Krauth and sophomore Stephen Villines have been the lajhawks' most consistent pitchers this season. Krauth is 5-3 with a 4.09 era and 60 strikeouts in 10 starts. Villines, who was recently named to the Midseason Stopper of the year Watch List, has been excellent out of the bullpen this season. In 20 appearances, he is just 2-3, but he has a team best 3.72 ERA, 10 saves and 42 strikeouts.

Kansas problems. Donato is 5-4 with a 2.69 ERA while Vance is 6-2 with a 3.15 ERA.

MILLIONS of students have strolled Jayhawk Boulevard since the University's inception in 1865. Over the past 150 years, countless events have shaped the University that we know and cherish today.
History is an important part of who we are as the University community. We embrace the Jayhawk, a storied Kansas tradition that derives from the Civil War. The Jayhawk isn't just our mascot; being a Jayhawk is a way of life. Upon graduation, Jayhawk pride
Over the past 113 years, the University Daily Kansan has been there to cover it all, from the University's first homecoming in 1912 to President Barack Obama's visit in 2015. This section retells some of the historically significant events that have happened on Mount Oread since the Kansan's beginning.
Unfortunately, an entire novel consisting of Kansan
articles wouldn't even make a dent in the history of the University. I realize it's impossible to fit 150 years of history in 10 broadsheet pages. Determining what story has more cultural significance over another story is no simple task because everything that has happened
here is important.
Looking back on the 150 years of history at the University of Kansas, one thing is for sure: I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

The Kansas Union was ravaged Monday night by a fire that caused extensive damage to 40,000 square feet in the south half of the building.
The fire, confined to the upper half of the building, apparently started near the Pine Room and spread immediately to the roof, which was completely destroyed in the older section of the building.
Bill Rowlands, information counter manager and night manager of the Union, discovered the Union fire.

"The man in the Union said there was a definite explosion. It blew plaster off the ceiling and tore off the elevator door."
The intensity of the flames caved in the roof and leaped to the south addition of the building, caving in that section.
The fire was finally brought under control around 2 a.m. today after flames had gutted the top two floors of the Union's main section.
University of Kansas Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers, who is in Washington D.C. attending a conference of University presidents and administrators, said in a telephone
Sanders said he reached his conclusion after talking to firemen and policemen at the scene.
After an hour and a half of fighting the fire, flames of 20 to 30 feet shot off the roof and scorched the center tower of
"I heard something pop," he said. "It sounded like a light bulb exploding, and I ran upstairs. I think that everyone in the building noticed the smoke about the same time and evacuated the building."
FRED SANDERS
Lawrence Fire Chief
Firetrucks arrived 15 minutes after the fire was reported. Frank Burge, Union director, told firemen when they arrived the fire was confined to the center and western sections of the roof at that time.
Lawrence Fire Chief Fred Sanders said the fire started near an elevator on the third floor near the Pine Room.
"The man in the Union said there was a definite explosion," Sanders said. "It blew plaster off the ceiling and tore off the elevator door."
Later this morning Sanders said it could be possibly three days before the official cause of fire was known, but added, "In my opinion, it was set."
Chalmers said he was first informed of the fire in the Kansas Union at his hotel in Washington. He said University Executive Secretary Ray Nichols called him about 1 a.m. (EST) and at that time little information was available
statement early this morning, it now may become an obvious necessity to appeal to strengthen campus security to prevent further incidents from occurring at KU.
"It certainly seems," Chalmers said, "that the three attempts at arson on the KU campus on April 8 and the three actual fires in the community the last three weeks seems to suggest that it is a pyromaniac at work. I do think, however, that it is the work of one person or perhaps two or three people."
concerning the fire.
Chalmers said he does not plan to return to Lawrence any earlier than scheduled unless he gets a report that there is something he can do.
Burge said the building was adequately insured, but for all practical purposes the entire south half of the building is a total loss.
The Union, Burge said, will definitely be closed to all students until further notification from him.
An estimated 2,000 people viewed the blazing building while several more aided firemen in any way they could. Many attempted to clear the building of furniture, helped balance fire hoses, and provided coffee and doughnuts to the firefighters.
"The fire could have been a lot worse without student help." Sanders said.

MARCH 8,1965
The group was led by Walter Bgoya, Tanganyika senior; George Unseld, Louisville, Ky.; senior; and Nate Sims, residence and standing unknown. The three men are the newly elected co-chairman of the CRC. The election was held last night.
A group of about 150 Civil Rights Council members and sympathizers staged a protest demonstration in Chancellor Clarke W. Wescoe's office today at 10:30 a.m.
The CRC members were protesting "the tacit approval of discrimination in campus housing."
The statement, which was mimeographed and distributed to CRC members at the meeting, said the demonstrators would "remain in his office until the chancellor has taken immediate action to include our demands in policies and regulations of the University.
After two and a half hours of discussion and debate in the corridor outside the chancellor's office the only statement that Chancellor Wescoe has made is that he will not issue an executive order as requested in the first demand of the Civil Rights Council and Interested
"UPON SUCH ACTION, a pamphlet should be published by the University and a statement sent to the UDK for immediate release," it read.
He also commented that the University Daily Kansan board will be meeting with the All Student Council to discuss the sixth demand.
At a meeting held by the council last night in the Union, Sims suggested that perhaps the whites in the group couldn't understand the situation because they hadn't been "sat" upon.

He added no complaints concerning housing have been lodged in his office during the last two and a half years.
Sims' comment brought disorder among the group as members began talking to one another. Some white members suggested that their coworkers be a little less emotional and more rational about the matter.
MALE STUDENTS RAID WOMEN'S DORMS
KANSAN

MAY 20,1952
"The girls who were unfortunate enough to have washed last night lost almost everything they had," a resident of Miller was quoted as saying.
The current seige of panty raids hit KU last night when an estimated 50 boys broke into Templin, Miller and Watkins halls. Mrs. Lela Whiteford, Templin housemother, said "a gang" ran around the house "stealing things" around midnight. Doors were broken and screens ripped when the raiders broke into Miller and Watkins halls.
Last night's raids brought to 26 the number of American seats of learning that have witnessed raids by male students bent on carrying off unmentionable trophies this year.
By far the wildest and the most destructive raids occurred at Columbia, a city of 32,000 and site of the University of Missouri and two girls' schools, Stephens and Christian colleges.
More than 2,000 men students from MU stormed the dormitories at Stephens. They battered their way into the buildings through broken screens and windows.
Squads of coeds, wielding mops and brooms and dousing
The party was diverted to school buildings and the boys smashed glass and broke several pieces of furniture.

At this point, acting Police Chief J. Lewis Parks declared the situation out of hand and beyond the ability of his 22-man police force to handle.

At 'Tuscaloosa, Ala., about 1,000 men of the University of Alabama raced up and down the campus bent on staging a panty raid. But University officials and police armed with nightsticks kept them from entering any girls' quarters.
No arrests or injuries were reported at the KU raid.

The coeds had to content themselves by tossing old socks, scraps of cloth and bottles to the stymied raiders. All underthings had previously been locked up in trunks in anticipation of a raid.

HUMANITIES BUILDING TO REACH 25 STORIES
TIM JONES
NOV.20,1967
University Archives
Plans for the "tallest building in Kansas" — a $5.8 million, 25 story humanities building- were unveiled today by University officials and designing architects.
The building, to be on the site of Robinson Gymnasium and Haworth Hall, will house 51 classrooms and 11 undergraduate study rooms in two, five story wings and provide 487 faculty offices and 28 graduate seminar rooms and 71 study rooms in the 25-story tower.
Bids for construction will be let in mid-spring 1968, said R. Keith Lawton, vice-chancellor for operations. Actual construction will begin in the late summer of 1968; the building is expected to be finished by the fall semester of 1970.
The state will provide $3.9 million and the federal government the other $1.9 million.
Construction will be in two phases. The first phase, including the east wing and tower, will begin next summer. When the Experimental Biology and Human Development Building, under construction south of Malott Hall, is completed in early 1969, Haworth Hall will be razed and the second phase of construction, the west wing will begin.
The architectural firm, Woodman and Van Doren, Wichita, and William Hale, state architect, said they were faced in designing the building, with the limitations of making the building compatible with the rest of campus, giving access from all directions, and avoiding "canyonizing" the campus by bringing buildings too close together.
The building, part of KU's master plan, is designed to bring the largest group of students, arts and sciences majors, back to the center of campus.
Lawton said because general classrooms were the easiest to make temporary, the construction of a permanent general classroom building was postponed while specialized facilities
— science laboratories, for example — were built.
The high-rise tower was designed to maintain the openness of the top of Mt. Oread. A glass-enclosed concourse and study area connecting the wings at all five levels will provide a seethrough effect between Jayhawk Boulevard and the valley to the south.
The building includes a 150-car parking area in the basement for "prime" faculty and handicapped students.
There will be six elevators serving the tower but none for the classroom wings.
Refreshment facilities, now in the basement of Strong Hall, will be moved to the building.
Woodman said the building will be constructed with poured or pre-cast concrete and will be an off-white or sand color. Windows and frames will be bronze-glazed to cut down the solar heat and increase air conditioning efficiency.
A two-duct heating and cooling system will be installed to allow year-round temperature control.
Facilities will include many
multi-media devices such as closed circuit television, video tapes and electronic language labs. Woodman said to avoid the future obsolescence of the building, room would be left to accommodate any electronic facilities the University might want to install.
The building will rise approximately 280 feet above Jayhawk Boulevard.
"At the risk of being corny, this building is the high point in the University's master plan." Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe said.
Editor's note: Due to high construction costs, the University chose not to use this design and instead went with a design for what is now Wescoe Hall.

MANY FIGHT COLD TO OPEN SPENCER MUSEUM OF ART
MARY ANNE
OLIVAR
JAN 18, 1978
The $5 million Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art, which houses 25,000 works of art, was opened to the public for the first time last night.
The museum's opening coincides with the 100th anniversary of the establishment of KU's art collection and the 50th anniversary of the dedication of the Thayer collection, the core of KU's art holdings.
The museum's first floor is being considered for the art library, which is now in Watson Library. The department of art history and a museum shop are on the second floor. Officers and storage rooms are on the fifth floor.
From 7:30-10:30 p.m. people streamed into the museum, braving last night's cold weather to browse through the galleries on the building's third and fourth floors.
Charles Eldredge, director of the Spencer museum, said in an opening announcement, "This is a gift from Mrs. Spencer especially for the students."
Spencer Museum was a gift from Helen Foresman Spencer, a member of the KU Class of 1926.
Spencer was not able to attend the grand opening. However, she attended an inaugural preview Sunday night, which several dignitaries and distinguished people in the arts also
attended, including the director of Harvard University's art museum, Seymour Slive.
For the first time since 1971, visitors were able to see about 2,000 seemingly forgotten art works that had been in storage.
Part of the museum's collection previously was displayed in Spooner Hall. However, Eldredge said 97 percent of the collection could not be displayed in Spooner because of a lack of space. Many of the art works were stored in a fireproof, humidity controlled area in Spencer Research Library.
Former chancellors Franklin W. Murphy, W. Clarke Wescoe, Raymond Nichols and Dean W. Malot also were at Sunday's preview.
Like the opening of an old 20th Century Fox movie, beams of light from two large spotlights pierced the sky announcing the festivity.
Lee Bishop, Bonner Springs senior and an art history major, was excited about the exhibit.
"We're seeing things that haven't been shown for years," she said, referring to the stored art works.
Admiring the exhibits, Bishop said of the $5 million gift. "The museum was worth every penny of it."
A number of other persons shared her enthusiasm.
J. Theodore Johnson, professor of French said, "It is a remarkable teaching museum. I am really extremely pleased and will bring my students here so that they can experience some of the works of art that are here."
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes praised the museum and said it was one of the finest university museums in the United States and would attract people to Kansas.
"After so many months of planning." Johnson said, "the art works are coming to life in this atmosphere, among people and music."
For instance, a country music group played in the 20th Century gallery and the Collegeium Musicum played in the 18th Century gallery.
Musical groups played in six of the museum's 12 galleries during the grand opening. Each group played music that correspondent to the gallery they were in.
"It will enrich and enhance the cultural lives of students for years to come," he said.
According to Eldredge, KU's collection is one of the most comprehensive collections in Kansas.
Ralph T. Coe, director of the Nelson Art Gallery, has said KU's art collection ranked among the finest in any comparable institution in the country.
According to Eldredge, KU's collection is particularly noteworthy in the areas of medieval art, 17th and 18th century art, American painting and graphics.
The collection includes Oriental and Western decorative art, Japanese prints and American paintiens.
A number of the collection's paintings have been shown recently in exhibits in Europe, Canada and the Orient.

OPENING NIGHT FOR LIED CENTER
"SECRET
GARDEN" IS
CENTER'S
DEBUT
SARA BENNETT SEPT.27,1993
Less than 24 hours before opening night, "The Secret Garden" bore little resemblance to an award-winning Broadway musical.
Bird-shaped trees perched amid black crates, only hinted at the elaborate production in the works. But the secret to transforming the Lied Center stage into a child's garden lay hidden within those very crates.
Eric Insco, stage manager for the touring company of "The Secret Garden," said he was excited to be involved with the center's first production.
The Tony Award-winning musical "The Secret Garden" opens with an invitation-only performance tonight at the Lied Center, ushering in the $14.6 million performing arts complex's first season.
"I feel kind of lucky in a way," he said; gazing into the crimson and blue auditorium, "It really is a treat. The house is stunning, and I just know it's going to sound wonderful in here."
Inscio and his crew will spend 14 to 16 hours installing the six truckloads of equipment required for "The Secret Garden." Although the Lied Center has new state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, the touring company brought its own equipment, including an ornately painted proscenium, backdrops never before used on tour, lights and a large turntable that rotates to change scenes.
Lee Saylor, technical director for the Lied Center, said the center was providing 30 of
Preparing for the center's first performance has been nerve racking, Saylor said.
its 44 rigging lines from which the troupe will hang scenery, more than 70 crew members and stage hands, spotlights and 100 pounds of dry ice.
"The Lied Center staff is tied up in knots," he said. "We've spent months getting ready for this, and now it's here."
Insoca said opening a show in a new hall had inherent challenges, but the quality of the Lied Center was good enough to bring in other big-name shows.
“
"It really is a treat. The house is stunning, and I just know it's going to sound wonderful in here."
ERIC INSCO Stage manager
"Phantom of the Opera' will be able to play here," he said. "I bet you'll see 'Les Miserables' within the next two years."
Nevin Steinberg, sound technician for the touring group, said the Lied Center was one of the better halls "The Secret Garden" has played in.
"It's smaller than most, and the seating is intimate, which is good for this kind of show," he said. "I much prefer it to some of the caves we've played in."
As stage hands bustled about hanging lights and stacking crates, Inso shielded his eyes and peered into the Lied Center balcony. "It's pretty wonderful, isn't it?" he said.

HOCH AUDITORIUM CATCHES FIRE REDUCED TO LIMESTONE WALLS
JEFF MEESEY AND ROCHELLE OLSON JUNE 19,1991
The fire that gutted Hoch Auditorium on Saturday afternoon caused more than $12.8 million in damage and drew a crowd of 500 to 600 to Jayhawk Boulevard, KU police said.
Rich Barr, Lawrence fire marshal, said the department received a call that Hoch was on fire at about 3:20 p.m. Firefighters arrived within a few minutes.
Five firefighters immediately entered the burning building and attempted to extinguish the fire on the roof from the third floor balcony, Barr said.
He said the firefighters were ordered to leave the building when parts of the roof began falling.
At 3:55 p.m., the roof collapsed. Barr said.
Arlan Maltby, Lawrence graduate student, said the fire was spectacular. He saw the roof collapse.
"The center went first and a ball of flames shot out of it," Maltby said.
The fire was declared under control at about 7 p.m. Saturday.
A fire is considered under control when its progression has been stopped, it is contained and it is not a threat to other buildings, Barr said.
Because of the intensity of the blaze, fire departments from Overland Park, Shawnee, Lenexa, Wakarusa Township, Eudora and Lexington Township were called to help.
Barr said up to nine fire trucks were on the scene during the fire.
KU police officer Burdel Welsh said control of Hoch was turned over to KU police early Sunday morning.
Maj. Ralph Oliver, assistant
director of KU police. said lightning had been declared the cause of the fire.
Mike McClure, Overland Park senior, said he saw a lightning bolt strike the building.
He was on break from his Fish Kansas class and was standing near the northeast corner of Robinson Center.
FIRE DEPT.
McClure said the lightning hit the center of Hochs roof.
The flash was so bright that McClure and several classmates had to look away after it struck.
"We were blinded for a couple of seconds," he said. "I knew immediately that Hoch had a 95 percent chance of going down."
McClure said he called 911 to report the fire after he saw smoke coming from Hoch's roof.
"They said, Yeah, we'll go check it out," McClure said.
Craig Kokesh, Scottsdale, Ariz. senior, was standing in the same area and also saw the strike.
He said the operator did not seem to believe him at first.
He said he saw white smoke coming from the roof as if it were coming from a chimney.
"An hour later, the roof was gone," Kokesh said.
Liz Blass, Lawrence graduate student, said Hoch was an impressive part of campus.
She said she remembered standing in the un-air conditioned Hoch for enrollment.
"I thought, "This is the worst part about going to school," she said.
Lori Reasoner, Lawrence sophomore, said she cried when she found out Hoch was burning.
"I remember coming up here when I was young, and I thought it was really cool" she said. "I thought I would always come here for Vespers and Rock Chalk."
She said she hoped the shell of the building could be saved.

COLISEUM IS A MEMORIAL TO FIGHTING SPIRIT OF KANSAS
KANSAN
STAFF
OCT 12, 1912
Saturday, October 29 marks an epoch in the history of the University of Kansas grander and more sublime than the day 29 years ago when McCook Field was first opened. This day will officially open the Kansas Stadium. The Coliseum of Kansas, a memorial and monument to the past and a challenge to the future will be dedicated when the bearers of the Crimson and Blue carry on the fight that tied the great Nebraska team last
year in the final game on McCook Field.
Kansas possesses a most enviable athletic tradition. McCook Field has witnessed the development of the University's athletic history as scenes of many noteworthy contests in which the name of the Jayhawker has been linked with that of Honored enemies, the Tiger, Cornhusker and Sooner. The stadium will carry on the spirit of Kansas, will make greater and bigger the ideal traditions of the Crimson and Blue.
The result of the game Saturday will not be decided until the final whistle blows,
but Forrest C. Allen, director of athletics, only wishes that the Jayhawker team may carry on that wonderful fighting spirit that has made Kansas so worthy a foe; that same spirit that tied Nebraska; that spirit of the student body last year when they made the stadium a reality instead of a possibility.
Although only two sections of the stadium, 9,500 seats will be available for the game Saturday. Of this number, 4,780 are stadium seats and the remaining number consists of temporary bleachers that have been arranged on the opposite side of the field.

JAYHAWKERS JAR ST.JOHN'S,80-63
KANSAN
STAFF
MARCH 27
1952
Kansas won its first NCAA championship last night as the Jayhawks rolled over St. John's of Brooklyn 80-63 in the tourney finals in Seattle. The win sends Kansas into the Olympic playoffs in Kansas City on Saturday.
Control-playing and ball-hawking by the Kansans proved to be too strong a factor for St. John's Redmen as Kansas took an early 1-0 lead on a free throw by All-American Clyde Lovellette and was never heeded.
Lovellette turned in his usual impressive game, hitting 12 from the field and nine from the charity stripe for 33 points. He was important to the rebounding as he controlled the boards for Kansas.
Lovellette swept the NCAA record book clean as he garnered the most field goals (56) the most free throws (35) and the most points (141) made by one player for the four-game round of NCAA play. The old records stood at 41,27 and 53, respectively.
Going into the game, Lovellette only had to make two free throws to break the existing record. Within one minute of play, he had tied the record. It was broken before the first period ended.
Lovellette was given the "outstanding player" of the tournament award.
Lienhard open on the outside to shoot.
Bill Lienhard was impressive with his ball hawking and sharp shooting from the outside. He sank five field goals and two free throws for 12 points. St. John's attempted to stop Lovelette by dropping back to two or three men to guard him, which left
Bob "Trigger" Kenney was an important aspect in the Kansas win as he knifed through the Redmen defense to steal the ball.
Dean Kelley was sharp in his floor play and rebounding.
Bill Hougland, playing with a bad leg, also was a factor in the win with his long shot artistry. Charlie Hoag, hitting for nine points, and John Keller showed speed and good defense in the win.

MANNING LEADS KANSAS TO CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE
ELAINE SUNG APRIL 5,1988
in 1980, when the U.S. hockey team defeated the Soviets at Lake Placid, N.Y., in the Winter Olympics, sports commentator Al Michaels uttered his now-famous question: "Do you believe in miracles?"
The Jayhawks did. They defied all logic, beat the odds and conquered the previously unstoppable Oklahoma Sooners last night 83-79 in Kemper Arena and took the 1988 NCAA Championship, the first national title for Kansas and the Big Eight Conference since 1952.
But the situation did not look good for the Jayhawks' when they fell behind by five points with more than 13 minutes left in the game. The Jayhawks looked grim as they huddled during their time-out, and the Sooners did some preliminary dancing, thinking the championship was all theirs.
The Sooners, though, overlooked two things: substitution and experience. Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs substituted only 12 times the entire game compared to Kansas' 42. In addition, forward Dave Sieger, who hit six of eight three-point shots in the first half, faltered at the three-point line and eventually gave up long-range shooting and passed it inside to Stacey King.
The Sooners also thought that their full-court press would carry them through. It had intimidated other teams, but not the Jayhawks, who had seen it twice before and were no longer afraid of it.
"We know what they do in the game," said Kansas forward Milt Newton. "With other teams, they're in shock with the press. But we're accustomed to that. We didn't think that we could get beat a third time. This third time was for the national championship."
The Sooners tried to speed up the tempo as they had done in the first half, but several times the Jayhawks deliberately held the ball at the top of the circle to rest and throw Oklahoma off the game.
Oklahoma called a time-out with 1:39 remaining. The score was 77-73, and Grace just completed two free throws. After the time-out, guard Terrence Mullins fouled Kansas guard Clint Normore and Normore missed the front end of his one and one.
Kansas coach Larry Brown sent in Scooter Barry, one of the team's top free-throw shooters. Sieger fouled Newton, who made the front end of his one and one. He missed the second shot.
With less than a minute in the game, Grace hit a jump shot for a 78-75 score, and Oklahoma called a time-out. With :41 left, guard Mookie Blaylock hit a jump shot and made the score 78-77. Tubbs called for another time-out.
Oklahoma applied pressure as the Jayhawks passed the ball around the perimeter. Blaylock fouled Barry, but Barry completed only the first of his free throws with 16 seconds left in the game.
Oklahoma called its last time-out. On the in-bounds pass, Piper was stuck and could not find anyone open. He called a time-out, and on the second try he pushed it in to Manning.
No. 1 team in the country. How do you like us now?"
"That was about as nervous as I was in the game," Piper said. "They switched a couple guys on us. I didn't have a clear pass, and I wasn't going to take a chance. I told Danny out of the huddle that the ball was coming to him. The other guys were so quick, we needed to use Danny's size."
With 5 seconds left, Grant fouled Manning. And Manning sealed the victory by once more completing both his free throws to make the final score 83-79.
"This feeling is great to be able to close out my career like this in Kansas City, in front of people that have supported me for four years," Manning said. "It's something that's well deserved for them, but it wasn't a gift. Some people said we got lucky, but what's luck? Luck presents opportunity, and we took that opportunity.
"This is for all the people who said it couldn't be done, that we wouldn't make it. This is from the national champions, the
1987
When the final buzzer sounded, the players rushed onto the center of the court and became one tangled mass, surrounded by cheerleaders, security officers and cameraman desperately trying to capture the moment.
The crowd was screaming in the stands, and Kansas students who were lucky enough to get tickets for the game were dancing on the press tables that lined the court. The Kansas basketball band played "Goin' to Kansas City." The CBS cameras were pushing to get Manning, who finished with 31 points and 18 rebounds and was voted the tournament's most outstanding player.

The players donned national championship T-shirts. Guard Kevin Pritchard searched for his parents and saw that they were still in the stands waving. He demanded that the security officers let his parents on the floor, and together they celebrated the victory.
Somewhere in the middle was Brown, who has taken two different schools to three different Final Four appearances in the last seven years. Brown, at age 47, had succeeded in leading the Jayhawks to his first national championship.
The crowd had its eyes fastened on the Kansas team as each player received his chance to cut the net. The Sooners linked off to their dressing room, heads down. There would be no victorious dancing on the basketball rims this night.
Just two months ago, Kansas was 12-8, and people wondered whether the Jayhawks would receive a berth in the NCAA tournament.
Last night, they shook off the skeptics, played the game of their lives and sent Manning and fellow senior forwards Piper and Archie Marshall off with the greatest farewell present possible.
The stepladders were set up under the baskets at each end, and Marshall, as he did in Pontiac, Mich., was the first to mount the ladder and cut the net.

STAFF
NOV. 29, 1939
Doctor Naismith died early yesterday morning at his home on University Drive, after having been suddenly stricken by a cerebral hemorrhage Nov. 19.

[Image of a man in a tuxedo]
Doctor Naismith had been actively connected with the University's department of athletics for 40 years, having begun his duties here in 1898. He resigned from full-time teaching duties in June 1937.
"The youth of the world has lost a great benefactor in Dr. James Naismith, the father of basketball," Dr. F. C. Allen, chairman of the department of physical education and head basketball coach said yesterday.
"Eighteen young men all over the world are playing his game of basketball, which he originated for 18 troublesome young men in a class in Springfield, Mass., Y.M.C.A college in 1891."
Chancellor Deane W. Malott yesterday made the following statement on the work and influence of Doctor Naismith:
"In behalf of the University of Kansas, I express sorrow at the death of Dr. James Naismith, professor emeritus of
physical education. Not only the University and the state of Kansas, but the United States and many nations of the world as well, will feel the loss of this man who set high standards of personal, clean
living and was able to infuse these same standards into the lives of hundreds of young me. His contribution to the athletic world of the game of basketball will leave a mark even time cannot erase."

Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, University of Kansas basketball coach for 39 years, died early yesterday morning in his sleep at his home in Lawrence. He was 88.
Allen coached at KU from 1908 to 1909 and from 1920 to 1956. During those years the Jayhawks won 591 games and lost 219.
Allen had been hospitalized several times in the last year and taken to a rest home last month, but he returned to his Lawrence home at his own request two weeks ago.
Allen also coached seven years at Central Missouri State, two at Baker University and one at Haskell Institute. When he retired from coaching in 1956, Allen's 771 wins made him the most victorious coach in basketball history.
That record stood until 1968 when one of Allen's former players, Adolph Rupp of the University of Kentucky broke it.
Allen was born in Jamesport, Mo., on Nov. 18, 1885. He played basketball for Independence High School. It was during an Independence game that he met Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of the game of basketball, who later coached Allen at KU.
Allen led his teams at KU to 24 Missouri Valley, Big Six and Big Seven conference championships before the league became the Big Eight.
Allen helped found the National Basketball Coaches Association and headed the organization from 1927 to 1929. He also was instrumental in starting the NCAA tournament in 1939.
Allen's 1952 team won the NCAA Championship. His 1940 and 1953 teams lost in the national finals.
One of Allen's most prized possessions was an autographed picture from Naismith with the inscription, "From the father of basketball to the father of basketball coaching."
medical school for four years. In 1913, he accepted the head coaching position at Central Missouri State in Warrensburg, Mo. While at Warrensburg, his team won the Missouri Valley championship.
After two years of coaching basketball at KU Allen attended
He returned to KU in 1919 to become the athletic director for 19 years. He coached football for one year in 1920. He became head basketball coach in 1920 and stayed in that position until 1956 when he was forced to retire at the mandatory retirement age of 70.

KANSAS OVERCOMES LATE DEFICIT TO CLINCH CHAMPIONSHIP
STATE BOYS BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
The 2008 Kansas Jayhawks look at the scoreboard after defeating Memphis 75-68 for the national championship title.
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN championship title
KANSAN STAFF APRIL 8, 2008
Mario Chalmers could dance now,now that his name had been permanently etched into the Kansas basketball history books.
He moved his hips to "Celebrate" and slapped hands all around with his teammates in the confetti-filled jubilation of their national championship.
That's right national championship. Kansas (37-3) beat Memphis (38-2) 75-68 in overtime Monday night at the Alamodome, winning its first title since 1988 and third in program history after coming back from a late nine-point deficit.
"God, we competed hard," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "It's one thing to win. It's another thing to win the way these guys did."
Chalmers' celebratory dance moves seemed so natural, just like the shot he made about 30 minutes earlier that sent the game to overtime. The play started with Sherron Collins. He had 10 seconds to make sure Kansas extended the game and kept its dream season alive. He dribbled to the right wing behind the three-point line and nearly lost the ball.
Then, Chalmers separated
from his man for just long enough. Collins found him. Traalling 63-60, Chalmers shot a three near the top of the key. Overtime.
The game should've been finished long before that play. The Jayhawks got a gift from the Tigers when they missed five of six free throws that would've iced the game. They didn't waste the good fortune in overtime. The extra period was all Kansas.
Brandon Rush started out with a layup. Chalmers and Darrell Arthur combined for an alley-oop. When Collins made two free throws to put Kansas up 75-68, the game was finished. Chalmers' shot had sparked all of it.
"I just knew we had the game after that," Arthur said.
A happy ending seemed implausible late in the second half. Memphis' Derrick Rose nearly killed Kansas. He was ready to put himself at the top of the list of Jayhawk Final Four villains right up there with Carmelo Anthony, Juan Dixon and Grant Hill. With Memphis down 45-42 midway in the second half, Rose scored 12 straight points for Memphis. He couldn't miss if he tried. Really. Rose fired a long off-balance jumper at the end of the shot clock and banked it in. The basket gave Memphis a 56-49 lead with 4:10 left.
The Tigers stretched that lead to 60-51, and it looked
like Memphis would cut down the nets.
A lot of guys thought the game was over," Darnell Jackson said, "but we just kept saying believe."
Self said those exact words to his team. Chalmers used Self's message and the memories from last season's comeback victories against Texas to motivate him.
Arthur took the inspirational words to heart as well. It was no surprise to see Chalmers take over in the clutch. Arthur was more of an unexpected hero.
Kansas has known all season it plays superior ball when Arthur is active. Problem was, that didn't happen too often.
In the tournament, Arthur's
inconsistency got even worse. The one they call Shady reverted to his mind-bogglingly inconsistent ways throughout the postseason, disappearing in every game.
Monday night he was a changed man. Arthur scored two big baskets toward the end of regulation and got another one in overtime. He finished with 20 points. Ar-
ed his best game in the biggest game of his life. It's something he'll never forget, something all of the Jayhawks will never forget. They battled through adversity after two losses in three games in late February and didn't lose the rest of the way. Now, they're champions. They'll go down as one of the best teams in Kansas history.
KANSAS WINS ORANGE BOWL, SEALS 12-1 SEASON
CHAMPION
KANSAN
STAFF
JAN.4.
2008
Kansas didn't do anything out of the ordinary to defeat Virginia Tech and capture the 2008 FedEx Orange Bowl title. Well, at least nothing more unexpected than the 12-1 team had done already this season.
The team that turned analysts' predictions and preconceptions on their heads all season continued to upset college football's natural order Thursday night in a way that has become strangely normal for the winningest team in the history of Kansas football.
Jayhawks (12-1) overcame several exceptional kick and punt returns by Virginia Tech (11-3) with a timely blocked field goal and an expertly executed fake punt.
Members of the football team celebrate the win against Virginia Tech at the Orange Bowl
"We were able to make a big, big play on that punt and turn the game around with the blocked field goal." Kansas junior wide receiver Dexton Fields said. "When we blocked the field goal it was really a big momentum-stopper and it gave us some extra confidence."
Over the course of the season, the Jayhawks emerged from a decade-long stint of mediocrity to win 12 games and a BCS bowl. On Thursday night in Dolphin Stadium, the Jayhawks defeated Virginia Tech, 24-21, by beating the Hokies at their own game: special teams. The
The game-cinching touch down run was one of many excellent plays the Jayhawk field general made Thursday night. Kansas sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing finished 20-of-37 with 227 passing yards and one passing touchdown. Senior wide receiver Marcus Henry was the beneficiary of Reesing's touchdown pass, and totaled 20 yards in his final collegiate contest. The Jayhawks spread the ball around on offense, completing passes to eight receivers and rushing the ball nine or more times with three different ballcarriers. The Kansas defense made the offense's job easier by forcing three turnovers, setting the team up with good field position.

The blocked field goal may have been the biggest play in a game full of momentum swings, big hits and closely contested short-yardage struggles. With six minutes and 31 seconds to play in the third quarter, Virginia Tech was picking up steam. An 84-yard punt return touchdown by senior wide receiver Justin Harper with 11:35 remaining in the third pulled the Hokies within three points, 17-14, and the pro-Virginia Tech fans at Dolphin Stadium were at full volume.

"It was really an up-and-down game, a roller coaster of emotions," Reesing said. "Our defense was able to get turnovers and get us the ball in good position, and that was huge for the game. The offense came through when we had to, made plays when we needed to and

CHANCELLOR GRAY-LITTLE BRINGS NEW ERA FOR JAYHAWKS, CAMPUS
ROSS
STEWART
AUG.17
2009
Chapel Hill, N.C. — Bernadette Gray-Little shoots a contemplative look at the ceiling for a moment then points out the window at something she's going to miss.
"I enjoy that sight right out there," Gray-Little said. "More days than not I stop on the way in or out or I look out my window and I look out on that sight. It's a great sight."
Jane S.
She points out a window to a building, the university's Wilson Library, which looks like a regal whitewashed capitol building. It's two football fields away from her office at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, across a vast courtyard filled with criss-crossing sidewalks, surrounded by trees and old academic halls.
Gray-Little ended her 38 years of employment at UNC as provost July 8.
She began her role as the 17th chancellor of the University of Kansas on August 15.
Gray-Little still continues to pursue this early established ideal. She sees the worth in it.
Born and raised in Washington, N.C., a small town in the then-segregated South, her parents placed a great deal of worth on receiving an education. Her younger brother, Mark Gray, said it was presented to them as a way out of poverty.
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
Her time at UNC shows her dedication to education. Her accomplishments, such as increasing diversity and creating an office of undergraduate research and a first-year seminar program, bettered UNC. She plans to do the same for the University.
Bernadette Gray-Little began her role as chancellor of the University on Aug. 15, 2009.
"In some ways, education became such a big thing that it became the end as opposed to a means to an end," Gray said. "I just remember education was the goal; I guess it was also a means."
Washington was still segregated in the 1950s when Gray-Little was growing up there. In spite of this, she said, the only time she really experienced segregation
Though her family did not have the means to support her higher education, her parents always pushed that education was a way out of poverty, according to her brother, who's now a lawyer in Greensboro, N.C.
GROWING UP:
EDUCATION
Gray-Little grew up the fourth child of eight with three brothers and four sisters. The first time she moved from her hometown was for college. Her father was illiterate and worked in construction. Her mother had a GED and was a home-maker who occasionally did custodial work.
was when she left the neighborhood. She said she didn't have one particular instance to share showing that segregation during her childhood really affected her choices in life. Her take on growing up and the difficulties she had in affording an education reveals something about her personality and how she approaches problems and challenges. She said certain things in life would be considered challenges in retrospect, but not at first.
"You could say it was a challenge to leave a small town in North Carolina and get a college education at a time when I came from a small school and my parents were not able to contribute anything to my education," Gray-Little said. "You might consider that a challenge, but at the same time it was just something that you worked on and got it done. It's hard for me to pull things out like that because at the time I didn't experience them as a challenge."
Gray-Little attended an allgirls Catholic school, where nuns served as teachers, from first grade to her senior year of high school. Her brother remembered her intelligence and that the nuns took notice when the subject of college came about. Without scholarships, Gray-Little wouldn't have been able to afford college and would have been limited to working a blue-collar job or entering a convent, Gray said.
"They said, 'Bernadette, you're bright. If you want to get an education we could get you a scholarship at Marywood up in Scranton, Penn., and you don't have to become a nun," Gray said.
ing up in rank there ever since.
Gray-Little received scholarships and moved from Washington to Scranton for her undergraduate degree in psychology. She said the segregation in Pennsylvania was not
Her office didn't reveal she was in the process of moving. Excellently clean, barely anything covering her desk, with a single packing box in the middle of it.
LIFE AT UNC
"She ran a university and she would run the University of Kansas with such order and precision that shed have 10 pieces of paper on her desk," Gray said. "Just 10. Just 10."
Working as provost, Gray-Little's latest job at UNC, meant she was in charge of personnel and money. One would expect her office to be filled with clutter from all the responsibilities that fall under that, but it was so well kept it looked like an office from a model home.
While at UNC, Gray-Little accomplished much as she worked her way up the academic totem pole.
Starting out as a professor, she later ran departments, served as the executive associate provost, a dean and the executive vice chancellor and provost.
Karen Gil, dean of the college of arts and sciences at UNC, spoke highly of the work Gray-Little had done and said she thought Gray-Little accomplished a lot in every position she held.
"Some of these programs were her legacy here at North Carolina." Gil said.
Gray-Little spearheaded two prominent programs in 1999 when she was senior associated-dean for undergraduate education.
One was the office of undergraduate research, where undergraduates were encouraged to use UNC as a research institution. Undergraduates prepared works focused on pressing issues locally, nationally and internationally. This was a focus of Gray-Little's at UNC, and may be at the University as well, as

the same as it was growing up in Washington. Segregation in terms of stores and other public places was not there, but in terms of neighborhoods, it still was.

HOME LIFE
She made it a point to have undergraduates understand what research is and how it can be conducted.
HOME LIFE
Gray-Little has two children,
Mark Little and Maura Garcia,
and a husband, Shade Little.
Mark is doing postdoctoral work at Duke and is a consultant for the business school at UNC. Maura just finished her master's in fine arts at Howard University in Washington, D.C. She is also a choreographer and runs a dance company and is planning to relocate her dance company to Kansas.
Shade grew up in Washington, N.C., as well and was called a math genius by several people in Chapel Hill. At the moment, he doesn't plan on teaching at the University when the couple arrives, but Gray-Little said he wouldn't be sitting still for too long.
From what Mark said, his mother and father are quite different from each another.
Gray-Little, even at home, is quiet. But Mark said even with the contemplative side her colleagues describe, she's actually
Mark said his mother preferred very nice things, while Shade enjoyed things purchased in thrift stores. He said she was style-conscious, didn't go to thrift stores and dressed well—her shoes and jewelry go to
Though she and Shade are different, Mark said he thought it was complementary rather than problematic.
— her shoes and jewelry go together.
a bit silly. Gray-Little and Shade didn't allow TV in their house on weekdays for the kids. If Mark ever had on a silly movie or TV show shed tell him to turn it off, but would still laugh at it.
"People have a list of adjectives to describe her," Mark said. "In our home context the first thing that comes to mind, she's a very silly person. None of those people would use that word; it wouldn't come to mind.
In comparison, Shade is said to be someone who likes to speak his mind.
"My father is very loud," Mark said. "I used to run track. You can't hear anything, but I could always hear my father yelling 'Run!' because he's so loud. It's like night and day."
Gray, her brother, doesn't remember too much about growing up with Gray-Little. She went off to her first year in college when he was in first or second grade, though he does remember meeting Shade for the first time when Gray was in his early teens.
"I was easily bought off." Gray said. "He bought me off with a quart of milk."
Gray said he remembered his family saying his sister had a high school crush on Shade. She brought Shade by before she was about to go overseas to study and asked Gray what he thought of Shade.
Grav-Little said Shade would

not be idle for very long because it was not in his temperament. At UNC he worked with student academic services and did some advising, math, statistics and tutoring. Gray-Little said Shade enjoyed working with students without having to grade math papers.
Gray went to law school at UNC in 1978 while Gray-Little was working there. His reasoning was to get one good meal a week at her place. One thing that Gray enjoys is their mother's recipe for yeast rolls. Gray-Little is the only one left in the family who knows how to bake them since their mother died.
There has been some difficulty in locking down how Gray-Little plans to accomplish these goals. She said she wanted to look at them and see what could feasibly be done to achieve them after her arrival.
Gray-Little has made broad statements about what she wants to see accomplished during her time at the University. They include increasing diversity and research along with attaining National Cancer Institute designation.
"So you have a goal, which is general, but the things you have to do to get there are very specific," Gray-Little said. "I think in both cases it's important to look at what is being done and what can be done. I know where I'd like to go, but I don't know all the specific steps to get there."

BARACK CHALK JAYHAWK OBAMA SPEAKS ABOUT CHILD CARE AND AFFORDABLE COLLEGE TO KU CROWD
RILEY
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS KANSAS
MORTENSON JAN.26,2015
President Barack Obama speaks to a crowd of more than 6,000 in Anschutz Sports Pavilion on Jan. 22, 2015.
from the front of the presidential stage to the very back of the Anschutz Sports Pavilion, audience members waited patiently and erupted into applause at the chance to finally see what many described as a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity.
BEN BRODSKY/KANSAN
on 22.2015
President Barack Obama visited the University on Thursday morning and was greeted by a crowd of more than 6,000 as he took to the podium saying, "It's good to be at KU", in his opening remarks.
Introducing the President was senior Alysa Cole. Cole, a History and African-American studies major and single mother of three, wrote to President Obama in 2013. Cole wrote about issues surrounding affordable child care, education and the struggle between balancing the two.
"Education has maintained such an important role in my life, and during that point time, I was almost forced to make the choice between obtaining an education, working or taking care of my children," Cole said. "I wrote the letter because I did not want to make the choice between the three."
Following Cole's introduction, Obama joked that while he was here for other business, he did take a moment to spend some time with coach Bill Self and the men's basketball team. He also thanked Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and Lawrence Mayor or Mike Amyx and mentioned Bob Dole and the Dole Center for Politics, which he said he would be proud of, too.
Before diving into the themes
of his speech, President Obama also mentioned his deep roots in Kansas.
"I'm a Kansas guy," Obama said. His mother was born in Wichita, his grandmother grew up in Augusta and his grandfather was from El Dorado.
Obama transitioned to the issues at hand when he pointed out all the high-notes for the year to kick off on, including our economy creating jobs at the fastest rate since 1999, shrinking deficits and our troops coming home.
Obama's topics for the remainder of the speech focused largely on elements he touched on during the State of the Union on Tuesday night. He elaborated on middle-class economics and how to make it work in our country, as well as his ideas on free community college and the increasing the competitiveness of our markets.
He also reiterated equal pay for men and women, which the crowd roared over, and made the idea of assistance with child care more personal by telling the story of his grandparents. His grandfather went off to fight in WWII while his grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line in Wichita.
"This country provided universal child care because they understood that if women are working, they're gonna need some help, right?" Obama said. "And research shows that it was good for the kids, good for the parents, but we stopped doing that."
some hard times, but we've laid a new foundation, Jayhawks," Obama said. "We've got a new future to write. The young people here are gonna write a new future for America. Let's get started right now."
He ended on a note of solidarity as a nation saying we will disagree, but that doesn't mean we have to be divided. We all share a common vision for our future, he said.
Reactions to the speech were overwhelmingly positive and most students were just happy for the opportunity to see a sitting president.
"So, we've made it through
it's 2015, and there's no legal protection at the federal level for getting paid the same as a man," Anees said.
Sabaa Anees, a sophomore from Wichita, said she'd heard President Obama was a really great speaker, but it was amazing to see him in person. To her, one of the most important issues Obama spoke about was equal pay for women.
"He definitely pointed out that
"For me, getting into the health career field, I thought his message about child care or family care was a logical next step after expending so much political willpower over the affordable care act to pass over all the hurdles that it did," Bowman said. "Health care has a lot of moving parts, so it makes sense to involve the family as a unit."
Connor Bowman, a senior from Lenexa, said as a student from the school of pharmacy, healthcare was a big topic for him.
For other students, the journey
to the speech was just as memorable as the speech itself. Alex Cushing, a senior from Chicago got in line to see the President at 4:30 a.m.
Cushing had trouble sleeping the night before because she said she was so excited and realized when she got in line that sleeping in the cold was not an option.
"I'm exhausted," Cushing said.
"My legs hurt, everything hurts,
but it was totally worth it."
Cushing said she got in line to see the president in the wee hours of the morning because "you've got to take advantage of the opportunity to see him in person.
"To be that close and physically there is just a very cool experience," Cushing said. "I'm exhausted, but I'm gonna sleep like a baby."

Cummings gets injured in spring game
EVAN RIGGS
@EvanRiggs15
The opportunity for Kansas fans to get a look at the football team at the spring game was quickly overshadowed by an injury to upcoming senior quarterback Michael Cummings.
Cummings was injured during a hit by upcoming senior Michael Glatzak, while scrambling outside of the pocket.
"It's really unfortunate that it happened to a guy like Michael (Cummings)," coach David Beatty said. "I haven't spoken to our
medical personnel. I know they're evaluating him right now. We're optimistic that he's going to be OK."
During a spring game, the quarterbacks are typically supposed to remain untouched. To mark this, they wear red over their jerseys to remind the players of that. But that didn't stop Glatczak, who hit Cummings' left knee on the play. However, Cummings was able to walk off the field gingerly under his own power.
He did not return to the game.

Former student speaks about hazing post
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
After anonymously writing a post for Feministing.com, the former student from the University who pledged a fraternity his freshman year spoke to the Kansan through email to answer questions regarding his post and time at the University.
The post discussed both fraternities being a systemic issue and his time in an undisclosed fraternity, describing a series of hazing rituals he and his pledge brothers went through.
KANSAN: You were in a fraternity here at the University for a single
Correct. After that surreal fall semester, the spring semester started out lonely, but I gradually made some friends through my classes, and the freedom from peers telling me what to do was exhilarating.
semester, correct? How did this affect the rest of your time here?
I pretty quickly lost touch with all of them, though any of the members I ran into on campus were friendly. It was a case of mutual deterrents:
KANSAN: Were you given a hard time for leaving the fraternity? Did you remain friends with anyone after you left?
They were nice because they knew I might otherwise report them, and I didn't dare report them because I didn't want to worry about retaliation.
KANSAN: Why did you feel the need to publish this story now?
hazing incidents at KU, which suggested that not much had changed since I was a student. Then I did a bit of research and realized that we're talking about not one, not two, but six studies in your lifetime that have shown a predictive correlation between fraternity membership and sexually coercive behavior.
All the national news items of the past few months prompted me to reflect on the coercion I experienced, and how that entitlement to control and power over peers of the same sex could emerge with members of the opposite sex (especially after too many drinks). I felt compelled to explain that connection, especially after reviewing recent assault and
That said, I don't mean to suggest that even a double-digit percentage of fraternity men are sexually coercive. We're talking about7-8 percent of members versus 2-4 percent of unaffiliated men. The question is whether sexually coercive men are more apt to join fraternities or if fraternity culture is making some more sexually coercive. It's likely
some of both, but universities could address the latter aspect by retiring coercive practices like pledge programs, as SAE [Sigma Alpha Epsilon] has already done, and by delaying affiliation and residency so young men are more acclimated to college life and less desperate for peer approval. It's obviously imperative that schools better educate all incoming students about the difference between clear consent and sexual coercion, but so long as freshmen fraternity initiates are secretly coerced on a daily basis, it's naive to expect that this behavior won't ultimately fuel more assaults.

'Light the Night' shines spotlight on sexual violence
RILEY MORTENSEN
@RileyMortensen
A giant spotlight lit the sky Thursday night as part of the "Light the Night" event for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The event was held to raise awareness about sexual violence and its prevention.
University administrators estimated that 30-40 people stopped by Danforth Chapel, where the light was positioned, on Thursday
to ask what it was for. University staff members were available to talk inside the chapel with people seeking support.
Student Conduct and Community Standards Coordinator Joshua Jones said he thought the event went well. He heard the spotlight could be seen from downtown Lawrence, K-10 highway and even at the intersection of Sixth and Wakarusa.
"Next year we'd love to see, not open flames, but
maybe fraternities and sororites, people around the community putting tea lights in their windows not only to show a light on sexual assault, but as well to show that we're taking a stand against it, to show a community effort to change this and to work on this problem," Jones said.
Jones said he hopes "Light the Night" becomes a staple event during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Jones also said awareness, is only the first step and he loved
when a group of students walking by asked what the event was for and how they could help, which he said is the next step.
"I think it's a really important issue on our campus, and so I think that this is definitely something that will catch people's attention."
ABBY LANPHEAR Freshman from Overland Park
Abby Lanphear, a freshman from Overland Park, was among the group of students who stopped to ask Jones and other officials what was going on.
"I was a little bit confused," Lanphear said. "I'm glad it's actually this. I think it's a really important issue on our campus, and so I think that this is definitely something that will catch people's attention."

Beaty said he has heard conflicting stories on whether the hit was intentional, but Cummings insisted it wasn't.
“[Cummings] looked up at me and said, ‘Coach, he didn't mean to do it. He got pushed into me,’ ” Beaty said. “When you get to the spring game, you're always scared to death. Anytime you take a snap, you're at risk of getting somebody injured. When one of your quarterbacks goes down like that, it takes your breath away.”
In just over one quarter of work, Cummings threw for 43 yards and completed 4-of-8 passes. Before his injury, he split time at quarterback with upcoming junior Montell Cozart. After Cummings left the game, Cozart was the quarterback for the blue team full-time.
"I thought he did OK. He was kind of up and down," Beaty said. "I would like to see him improve in his fundamentals and footwork. To me, being a quarterback always goes back to [that]."
The junior started a bit slow, throwing for just 48 yards, while completing seven of 13 passes in the first half. However, he eventually got going.
If Cummings' injury sidelines him for any great length of time, it will be crucial for the Jayhawks that Cozart continues to grow in the Jayhawks' air raid offense.
Taylor.
Midway through the
third quarter, Cozart's pass was tipped and intercepted by senior linebacker Aaron Plump, leading to a touchdown for the white team. That was about it, as far as his struggles were concerned.
Cozart ended up going 16-of-26 for 219 yards, with two touchdowns and only one interception, which was pretty solid considering his rough start.
After the interception, Cozart bounced back and led an impressive touchdown drive, capped off by a 19-yard pass to upcoming senior wide receiver Shakiem Barbel.
"As long as those fundamentals are there, and the feet are in place, normally he executes pretty well," Beaty said. "He's like just about anybody else. He doesn't have enough experience at this level to overcome poor
fundamentals, but not many people can."
And in the fourth quarter, Cozart showed off those fundamentals, throwing an impressive 85-yard touchdown pass to junior tight end Kent

Kansas one of 15 states to adopt Uniform Bar Exam
ALLSION CRIST
@allisoncristudk
Kansas will become one of 15 states to adopt the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) beginning in February 2016.
The UBE is similar to the regular bar exam, a test that assesses whether a student is qualified to practice law, in the given jurisdiction.
However, if students take the UBE in Kansas, their score can be transferred to any of the other jurisdictions that have adopted the test, rather than having to take another bar exam in a different area.
Because only one test is required, the UBE is the same in all jurisdictions, whereas the essay portion for
the regular bar exam varies depending on the area.
"Our graduates are now going to be able to practice in up to 15 states by sitting for this exam only once," said Stephen Mazza, dean of the School of Law.
"Missouri adopted the UBE years ago," Mazza said. "Many who practice in Kansas City have clients on both sides of the state line, so that requires them to be licensed in both states."
Mazza said this adoption will especially benefit students in Kansas and Missouri.
In the past, students have been required to take two different exams, all the while waiting six months in between.
This in itself is extraordinary, because it brings these recent graduates into the job market rather than keeping them out of it."
(This is not)
This is especially true for graduates who have already taken the UBE in Missouri.
ARTURO THOMPSON
Assistant dean of career services
"Now, they. can get started with their careers much sooner." Mazza said.
"This in itself is extraordinary, because it brings these recent graduates into the job market rather than keeping them out of it," Thompson said.
Arturo Thompson, assistant dean of career services, said these students can transfer
their scores to Kansas now, rather than having to wait until February of 2016.
Mazza said the UBE will not only save students an immense amount of time, but give them more leverage with employers.
"Graduates will have insurance that they've passed the exam. They don't have to wait to see if they pass it in a different jurisdiction," Mazza said.
Jacqueline Patton from Wichita will be graduating from the School of Law in
- Kansas will join 14 other states in administering the Uniform Bar Exam.
- Law students will only have to take one test, and that score will transfer to any of the 15 states.
- Effective immediately. Missouri graduates can transfer their UBE score to Kansas and begin practicing on both sides of the state line.
May of 2016, and she said she is excited that she will be able to take the UBE.
"I think it's great," Patton said. "It makes us [the University]] more appealing to future law students who may not want to practice in Kansas forever, like myself."
Even though there are only 15 states that administer the UBE, Patton still thinks the exam is beneficial.
"It depends on where you're
going, but there are enough [states] that I think it's still worth it," Patton said.
As of right now, the 14 other states that have adopted the UBE are: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

Support Clinton for more than her gender
Cecilia Cho
@ceciliacho92
Rubio because they're men, there would be outrage. A March 2014 Gallup poll asked what Americans thought was Clinton's "top selling point" if elected president in 2016. Aside from "nothing" and "no opinion," the highest reason was that she would be the first female president. I have seen few social media posts discussing her qualifications for president. Simply saying, "We need a female president" is not a reason to potentially elect someone as this nation's ruler.
When Hillary Clinton announced she was running for president in 2016, social media blew up with avid Hillary fans proclaiming their support for the former secretary of state. I admit I was one of those rejoicing her candidacy, but what bothered me was the number of people saying they will support Clinton only "because she's a woman."
Our nation is long overdue for a female president, but to base your support solely on the sex of a candidate is sexist and grossly misinformed. If someone said they were voting for Ted Cruz or Marco
She was the "first First Lady to have a postgraduate degree, her own professional career and her own office in the West Wing of the White House," according to her PBS biography. She also is known as one of the most tenacious first ladies for positions in policy making, along with Eleanor Roosevelt and Michelle Obama. While attending Yale Law School, Clinton showed interest in children, families and social justice three important issues that influenced her during her upbringing. Those topics still resonate with Clinton today as she has demonstrated through her acts on health care and education reform.
Clinton is qualified to run, but it's not because she's a woman. As a working mother from a middle-class family, Clinton will no doubt focus on women's rights and the middle class — two issues President Obama has focused on. She has experience with national security, serving as secretary of state from 2009-2013 under Obama and as a part of the Armed Services Committee while serving as a U.S. senator from New York.
There are some issues proponents may be unaware of, however — some of which contradict her political ideals. Her campaign is "predicted to raise $1 billion," sparking fear of her relationship with Wall Street. Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd
"OUR NATION IS LONG OVERDUE FOR A FEMALE PRESIDENT, BUT TO BASE YOUR SUPPORT SOLELY ON THE SEX OF A CANDIDATE IS SEXIST AND GROSSLY MISINFORMED."
Blankfein, Morgan Stanley's CEO and vice chairman, James Gorman and Tom Nides, and "the heads of JPMorganChase and Bank of America" are all supporters of Clinton, according to Politico. Shouldn't that be concerning? In addition, back in 2002, Clinton supported the invasion of Iraq, a move that may have contributed to her failed presidential run in 2008 and may also pose a problem in her current campaign.
We should be celebrating the fact that Clinton is running for president, but we can't justify supporting someone based solely
on their sex. Research is crucial when determining who you want to run this country. You are dismissing and undermining every wonderful accomplishment this woman has achieved and you are also dismissing certain aspects of her you may dislike. The next time you hear someone saying they support Hillary Clinton, ask them why. Do they truly believe she can make a difference based off of her past experience, or is it just because she's a woman?

ASK ANISSA
A good friend of mine has been gaining a lot of weight over the last couple months. How do I say something that shows I care about their health without sounding rude?
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritz
It seems as if we are always evaluating others and ourselves with numbers. These defining numbers appear in almost every aspect of our lives without us noticing half the time the number of followers we have on our social media accounts or the score we got on our ACT/SAT. Ironically, another number holding significant weight in our lives is, well, our weight.
There is no perfect way to go about telling people they have put on a few pounds. However, there are more effective ways to show you care about their well-being more than the actual extra weight itself. I would recommend sitting your friend down and opening
the conversation with a question or comment. Something as simple as, "How's school going?" or "How are your parents?" would qualify. Sudden weight gain is sometimes linked to stress or something larger (no pun intended) than just being lazy or eating too much. During my freshman year whenever I felt stressed, my favorite boyfriends, Ben and jerry, were always there to comfort me with their ice cream goodness.
Do not, and I repeat, do not say, "I've noticed that you have gained some weight." The moment you say this, or anything that resembles it, is the exact moment when your friend will get defensive and try to throw the nearest lamp at you or break down in tears. Get through this touchy topic unscatched by making sure your friend knows you
aren't concerned about the actual number of pounds or how good they look in pictures, but that you care about their overall health and happiness. Once you make this clear, your

Senate Bill 175 does not promote religious freedom, but exclusion
David Hurtado
@Lastlight343
The Kansas House of Representatives will soon be reviewing Senate Bill 175, which the Senate passed in March, that, if approved, would allow on-campus religious organizations to restrict membership to those who share similar beliefs.
Republican Sen. Steve Fitzgerald of Leavenworth, who sponsored the bill, said SB 175 is intended to protect religious freedom on campus by preventing universities from moving against student religious groups that require members to be of the group's beliefs.
"LAWMAKERS ARE FREE TO HOLD THEIR OWN PRIVATE OPINIONS, BUT THOSE SHOULDN'T SPILL OVER INTO THEIR DUTIES TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS."
Learning about ideas and values other than our own helps us to be friendlier to others and gives us perspective of our own beliefs. Without knowing what else there is to believe in, we can't claim to believe in anything at all. More than that, understanding what and how others think reminds us that everyone has a right to believe in what they want. Preventing students who want to learn about another faith is contradictory to the importance we place on respect for others.
Fitzgerald's concerns are not without merit, however. In 2004, a student from
Washburn University Law School in the Christian Legal Society spoke in opposition to the group's beliefs while leading its weekly Bible study. The other members removed him from leading the group. Being a person of belief myself, I don't think this bill is the answer to Fitzgerald's concerns.
Have supporters of SB 175 even considered how a measure like this would be enforced? There's no easy way to discern what beliefs someone holds. The only way this could be feasible would be to require students to disclose their personal beliefs to that organization, which would be a serious violation of their privacy.
There is a reason we have separation of church and state in our country. If religious groups want to restrict membership for whatever reason and face the consequences for it, then that's their choice. But when the state uses tax dollars to help subsidize its discrimination is where I draw the line. Lawmakers are free to hold their own private opinions, but those shouldn't spill over into their duties to their constituents.
Instead of crafting a law that would be used to exclude others, a more reasonable approach should be taken. If a student of another belief wants to sit in on a meeting and engage in a polite and respectful manner, no harm done. If they choose to act condescending and rude, eject them from the group and notify University staff of the incident. There's no need to devise a bill that bars everyone outside a religious group because of a few bad apples.

'Merely Players' centers on feminism
@_Kate_Miller_
At the end of "Merely Players," protagonist Phebe addresses the audience:
KATE MILLER
@ Kate Miller
"Women, I hope you liked this show. Men, I don't care if you liked this show. If you don't know what you are, keep looking."
Although the statement comes at the end of the show, the feminist themes of the production are obvious to audiences from the very beginning as should be the case in an all-female-produced play.
"Merely Players," the newest production by the Jayhawk initiative for Student Theatre, opened last night at the William Inge Memorial Theatre in Murphy Hall. The play, based on an early 17th-century classic, modernizes a tale of romance and self-discovery through progressive themes and casting.
"This is not a play written for men," said Gywnn, a senior from Olathe. "This is not a play written for a male's gaze. I hope that man can still enjoy it and find something in it, because I
This continuation of Shakespeare's "As You Like It" follows shepherd-girl Phebe and her struggle to discover who she is. After falling in love with Rosalind, a woman dressed in drag in Shakespeare's original story, student playwright Katherine Gywnn's Phebe must come to terms with her feelings for Rosalind as well as her place in a maledominated world.
In the spirit of that message, the playwright, director and cast of "Merely Players" are all females. Lynn Debeck, a doctoral student from Vienna, Va., directs the play. Actors Emily Schwerdtfeger, Brianna Woods and Caroline Collett, a junior from Marion, play both female and male characters, adding a feminine dynamic to a story originally performed by only men.
"It ensures that it comes from a female perspective," said Schwerdtfeger, a sophomore from Columbus, Ohio. "No matter what character is being played, what lines are being said, it's been thought about by a team of women."
think it's a beautiful human narrative, but this is a play that really centers around women."
"I think we've all worked really hard to make a safe place," said Woods, a sophomore from Overland Park. "It's basically like a big workshop and collaboration between the five of us. We all have similar viewpoints, so that makes it easy for us to construct the show that we want."
For Woods, the collaboration between such a group of "smart and capable" women has only strengthened the show.
In addition to female empowerment in a male-dominated world, the play deals with the topic of sexuality and gender identification as characters Phebe and Rosalind struggle to clarify their feelings for each other. Although this
relationship is present in Shakespeare's original story, "Merely Players" emphasizes the confusion and difficulty in a way not possible in Shakespeare's time.
"Identifying with gender and sexuality is still a big issue [today]," Schwerdtfeger said. "I think people aren't comfortable with those who don't identify as heterosexual or the gender they were born into. I think this deals with these issues in a way that helps people understand why people are confused about their sexuality or confused about their gender."
Although the themes originate in Shakespeare's time, the play has a modern twist. Starting out with the original epilogue from "As You Like It," the language of the play quickly shifts from poetic prose to modern dialogue. Combined with the emphasis on modern ideas and issues, Gywnn said she hopes her new storytelling will draw in viewers from all backgrounds.
"Whether you're interested in questions about gender and sexuality, in seeing a play that really renders queer women in a complex way, in seeing a show that talks about what it's like to be caught in a cycle of abuse, or whether you're just really interested in seeing a great show, I hope you would consider coming out to see this play," she said.
"Merely Players" runs at 7:30 p.m. today and Tuesday at the William Inge Memorial Theatre in Murphy Hall. The show is free, and donations are appreciated.

Yogathon to host renowned yogic scholar
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
When the thoughts of finals become a nagging, everpresent stressor, graduate students Krishna Ghimire from Nepal and Prasad Shripathi from India suggest meditation and yoga. A free workshop tonight will allow students to learn from leading yogic scholar, Dinesh Kashikar, about how to calm the body and mind.
"This is a way to get rid of stress because energy in your body and in your mind, they get mixed up," Ghimire said. "Your energy will transfer throughout your body as you want and require. In this one class, we teach you to do this on your own to make yourself better."
This event is hosted by The Art of Living Club at KU, a chapter of the global non-profit educational and humanitarian foundation.
The Art of Living. The yoga and meditation workshop will be in the Union Parlors Room from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Ghimire and Shripathi are both members of the club and strong believers in the powerful effects of yoga and meditation.
"It makes a world 'oil difference," Shripathi said. "I started doing yoga through The Art of Living and it changed my mind. It synchronizes your body and mind. The main reason for stress in our lives is our mind thinks something and our body wants something else. If you want to synchronize, you have to practice yoga."
After learning Kashikar would be in the Kansas City area for a separate event, the club reached out to him and requested he come to the University. He's taught in countries around the world since he became a teacher in 2004.
"There's a lot of stress with exams and projects, so doing yoga and meditation brings it all together. This class will be very helpful."
PRASAD SHRIPATHI Graduate student from India
Initially, Ghimire booked a smaller room in the Union. But after posting the event on Facebook and hearing from other students, he realized they'd need more room. He said meditation and yoga are great ways to recharge during
"The guy conducting this is an expert, and I believe he has something to provide to students," Ghimire said. "Last year, I conducted the course, and many people liked it. So, based on that experience, people will really like this."
the day.
"If I'm stressed during the day, instead of sleeping, I'll meditate for 20 minutes." Ghimire said. "Then I'm ready to go for another five or six hours for that night class or whatnot."
Shripathi has done yoga for four years and said he saw multiple aspects of his life turn around when he implemented it into his life.
"My work got improved, my timing, productivity and relationships," he said. "There's a lot of stress with exams and projects, so doing yoga and meditation brings it all together. This class will be very helpful."
This workshop will teach students how to cope with their stresses and center themselves in a way Shripathi said is used by people worldwide.
"Yoga is more than a body movement," he said. "You need to know the meaning,
you have to have faith in it. Many people in the world practice yoga and have realize dthe positive benefits of yoga."
According to Mayo Clinic, some of the benefits of yoga include: stress reduction, improved fitness and management of chronic conditions. The site elaborates, saying, " [a] number of studies have shown that yoga can help reduce stress and anxiety. It can also enhance your mood and overall sense of well-being."
Shripathi said students who participate will reap a plethora of benefits by joining in a network of millions of people who practice yoga and meditation.
"We feel if we can involve students and do this workshop, hopefully people will do more yoga, and benefits of yoga can be shared by everyone," he said.

Jane Asbury, a retired art professor at the University, and a former student of hers Francie Costello, a 1977 alumna, had just reunited for the first time... in a movie theater bathroom of all places. The two, among about five other patrons had just seen "Woman in Gold" and made a pit stop in the restroom before heading out. The Kansan spoke with the two women about why they each felt so passionate about art.

Bruce Jenner announces female gender identity in milestone interview
Lily Grant
@lilygrant_UDK
B bruce Jenner, former Olympian and current reality TV
Olympics in Montreal. Many consider him one of the greatest athletes of all time
star, announced his true gender identity in a two-hour-long interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC 20/20 On Friday night, and the world reacted positively with open arms. Jenner declared that from this point forward, he will be living his life as a woman.
"I'm me. I'm a person, and that's who I am. I'm not stuck in anybody's body, it's just who I am as a human being. My brain is much more female than it is male. It's hard for people to understand that, but that's what my soul is," Jenner said in the interview.
Jenner won the gold medal for the decathlon at the 1976
More than 1 million Twitter users were tweeting about the interview, and it was the No.1 trending topic worldwide.
he considers himself a confused person at that time of his life.
["I was] running away from my life; running away from who I was." jenner said.
He said he has been confused about his gender identity from a very young age. He began taking hormones in the '80s and has undergone several plastic surgeries, including a tracheal reduction that made his features look more feminine.
Although Jenner is making the transition from a man to a woman, he said he's not gay. He has been married three times and has fathered six children. He said he has never been with a man, and that he's only attracted to women.
Sawyer mentioned that many viewers were convinced that jenner was making this announcement
as a publicity stunt for the reality show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Jenner thought the notion was ridiculous, and said he would never go through what he has been through for a television show.
Jenner said he still wants to be referred to using the familiar pronouns "him" and "he."
"It's been really tough, but here I am. I'm still here," he said.
Jenner said he has thought about killing himself, out of fear of the scrutiny he could potentially face from people, but he said, "I want to know how this story ends. You know? How does my story end?"
Jenner's interview marks a moment in history, which is revolutionary for the transgender community. He contributed to the conversation about transgender people by sharing his story with the world and said he hopes

Amy Winehouse
"Amy" is due to screen out of competition at the May 13-24 Cannes festival.
Kapadia won wide acclaim with "Senna," a documentary about the late motor racing champion Ayrton Senna.
MATT DUNHAM/ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — The family of Amy Winehouse has criticized a documentary about the late singer that is due to have its premiere at next month's Cannes Film Festival.
FOR MORE CONTENT
A statement issued Sunday by family spokesman Chris Goodman said director Asif Kapadia's "Amy" is "misleading and contains some basic untruths."
The statement said the film suggested family members did too little to help the singer, who died in July 2011 at age 27 of accidental alcohol poisoning. The soul diva, whose 2006 album "Back to Black" won five Grammy Awards, had battled drug and alcohol abuse for years.
"What I'm doing is going to do some good, and we're going to change the world. I really firmly believe that we're going to make a difference in the world with what we're doing," Jenner said.

The late British singer Amy Winehouse is the focus of a documentary that is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month. Her family said the film is "misleading and contains some basic untruths."
Edited by Lane Cofas
The filmmakers said in a statement that they began work with "total objectivity" and the support of the Winehouse family. They said the documentary was the result of interviews with about 100 people who knew the singer, including "friends, family, former partners and members of the music industry that worked with her."
"Fundamentally, the Winehouse family believes that the film does a disservice to individuals and families suffering from the complicated affliction of addiction," it said.

Junior Chaley Brickey tags out freshman Kelsey Arnold from Oklahoma on a steal to end the fourth inning on Friday night. This led to a stop in Oklahoma's momentum and a 4-2 victory for Kansas. Kansas lost the remaining two games in the series.
Jayhawks unable to win series against Sooners
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
Despite a great start to the weekend, the Jayhawks (35-10, 5-7) were unable to win their series against the No. 5 Oklahoma Sooners (42-7, 14-2). The Jayhawks lost the series 2-1. Kansas has won only one conference series this season.
The Jayhawks began the weekend upsetting the Sooners 4-2 on Friday night. They won the game in extra innings on a go-ahead two-run home run from freshman Daniella Chavez in the eighth inning.
"(Chavez) is one of the best hitters in the country.
"It ites amazing." Chavez said. "I was down the whole game, striking out, but with the whole team supporting me I just came out and bounced back."
The Jayhawks recorded only three hits in Friday's game, but all three contributed to their victory. Junior Chaley Brickey recorded two hits: a two-run home run to tie the game in the fifth inning and a double to set up Chavez's home run in the eighth inning.
+
As a freshman, she has ups and downs and got a couple bad at-bats," Kansas coach Megan Smith said. "She's always ready. One swing of the bat and she can change a game."
Unfortunately, the Jayhawks could not carry that momentum into Saturday's game. Kansas was shut out to the tune of a 13-0 loss. The Jayhawks only recorded two hits during the game, one from senior Maddie Stein and another from freshman Erin McGinley.
"The biggest difference is that we didn't make adjustments to (Parker)," Stein said. "We already saw her for seven or eight innings (on Friday), and we should have known what her tendencies were and what she was going to give us, and we didn't make that adjustment to her."
Kansas' inability to create any offense against Oklahoma freshman pitcher Paige Parker was the difference between Friday and Saturday's games.
The Jayhawks made a good comeback effort Sunday., but they couldn't find a way to defeat the Sooners, losing 7-4. Kansas scored all four
of its runs in the final three innings, but freshman Jessie Roane couldn't capitalize with two runners on base, striking out to end the game.
Brickey led the Jayhawks with two hits Sunday. Stein and Chavez added one hit apiece for the Jayhawks.
Senior pitcher Alicia Pille got the start for the Jayhawks on Sunday and allowed 10 hits and seven scores while only recording four strikeouts.
"Today we fought the entire game and gave ourselves a chance to win," Smith said. "Against a team like Oklahoma, that's all you can ask for. Give yourselves a chance to win, and we did that today."
On a better note, the Jayhawks managed to hold Oklahoma's star senior Lauren Chamberlain to only one hit over the three weekend games. Chamberlain entered the weekend with 90 career home runs and a 1.009 slugging percentage this season.

Tennis falls to Oklahoma State in championships
JACOB CLEMEN
@jclemn9
Kansas women's tennis fell to No. 11 Oklahoma State 4-0 in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Championships on Friday, ending its 2015 season.
In Waco, Texas, the Jayhawks faced odd circumstances as rainy weather delayed the match two hours and forced a move indoors to the Hawkins Indoor Tennis Center. The rain delay also forced the teams to begin with singles play, rather than the usual doubles matches.
The Cowgirls made quick work of the young Kansas team as they defeated a pair of freshmen to jump out to a 2-0 lead. Freshman Summer Collins was the first to fall as she lost 6-2, 6-1 while fellow freshman Alexis Czapiski fared only slightly better,
falling 6-3,6-4.
In the second singles position, freshman Smith Hinton was dropped by a score of 6-3, 6-3 as Oklahoma State surged ahead 3-0. The deciding match was senior Maria Belen Ludueña's final appearance as a Jayhawk as she lost 6-3, 6-4 in the top singles position.
Coach Todd Chapman credited Oklahoma State's experience and effort as it outplayed Kansas.
"I think Oklahoma State did a great job of playing with leads at that point and kind of loosened up. They played well and took it to us at a couple of spots," Chapman said in a press release. "I thought we played well and had chances, but there is a reason they've been top 10 in the country all season. They can play the big points, and this may be sort of
an experience for us."
Kansas will look to the offseason to regroup and gain experience as it expects to have many returning players who were relied on heavily in their freshman seasons.
"I feel like this has been a year of growth. We are really young and played a majority of the year with four freshmen, maybe five, in the lineup," Chapman said. "The one thing they gave me all year was effort. They had both feet in and cared a lot about what was going on. I feel like we got a lot better and grew as people and competitors."
Kansas finished the year 8-15 overall and 4-6 against Big 12 opponents. Friday's match was the first time in three seasons that Kansas lost its first match in the Big 12 Championships.

Sporting KC stuns Houston Dynamo in late 4-4 draw

One point.
In soccer, earning one point for a match signifies a draw, a 90-minute game where both teams end up with the same score. A draw is usually associated with the boring 0-0 snooze-fests that are played entirely in the center field.
A typical draw isn't thought of as a 4-4 slugfest ending in a 94th minute goal to seal a single point for a team.
A typical draw doesn't have 28 shots between the two teams, a 100 percent shot on
A typical draw doesn't feature two teams desperate to stay in the hunt, as Sporting KC and Houston were Saturday at the BBVA Compass Stadium.
This wasn't a typical draw. Sporting KC set the tone early as forward Krisztián Németh netted a beautiful right-foot shot to the far post in the second minute. It was a rare goal in the run of play for Sporting KC and it was just the beginning of a shootout that would take the full 90
goal conversion rating, and five goals combined in the second half.
The Dynamo answered back, scoring off a botched clearance from Sporting KC defender Matt Besler, when Houston forward Giles Barnes blasted a sweet volley into the upper corner of KC goalkeeper Luis Marin's near post. That goal came just nine minutes later after Sporting opened the tally.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I knew he was crafty, I mean, a great shooter. There's nothing you can do. You try to pressure him and run him off the [three-point] line and he'll hit incredible shots in the lane. You back off so he won't drive, he's going to hit a fight. So you've got to pick your poison, and he's a tough player to guard. That's why he's [a candidate] for MVP."

THE MORNING BREW
Stephen Curry should be the 2015 NBA most valuable player
Chris Sitek
@ChrisSitek
There are 10 seconds to go in game three and the Golden
State Warriors are trailing the New Orleans Pelicans 105-108. Warriors have the ball, forward Draymond Green passes it out to guard Stephen Curry. Curry takes two dribbles and shoots the three. Short. He gets another chance from the left corner off an offensive rebound and splash. The game is headed to overtime.
Golden State went on to win this game 123-119 in overtime. This marked the third largest fourth quarter comeback in NBA history, but more importantly it showed the greatness that is Curry. Curry finished the game with 40 points and
nine assists, according to ESPN.go.com. Curry followed his huge game-three performance with another big outing, pouring in 39 points, eight rebounds and nine assists in Golden State's game-four win, 109-98, to sweep the Pelicans, according to basketball-reference. com.
The sixth-year point guard has dominated this post-season leading the NBA in points-per-game with 33.8 and is fifth in the NBA with 7.3 assists per game. Curry is known for being a precise sharpshooter, but he can beat opponents in so many ways. According to basketball-reference.com, Curry led the NBA in free-throw percentage at an astounding 91 percent made. He is also a gifted passer and is sixth among active players with 7.7 assists per game, according to ESPN.go.com.
During the regular season Curry was sixth in the league at 23.8 points-per-game and was fourth in the NBA, shooting 44 percent from three. He led the Warriors to a 67-15 regular season record with a 39-2 home record, both the best in the NBA, according to ESPN.go.com. This earned Golden State the No.1 seed in the Western Conference. With that they swept the New Orleans Pelicans and their star power-forward Anthony Davis, 4-0. According to vegasinsider.com, the Golden State Warriors are 8-to-5 favorites to win the NBA title, and this is due in large part to the play of Stephen Curry.
Additionally, Stephen Curry broke the NBA record for three-pointers made with 286. This broke his old
record of 272 threes he made two years ago. Curry had a 10-game streak where he scored 20 or more points in
THE BREW
each game during January and February. He has only been held to under 10 points four times the entire season, according to ESPN. go.com.
Curry's success didn't come right away. He has battled several injuries, including repeated ankle issues that caused him to miss 40 games during 2011-2012 season, according to probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com.
He also lived under the shadow of a team known for having great point guards. According to rantsports.com
and encyclopedia.
com, the team
has held All-Star
Phil Smith; two-
time All-Star Baron
Davis, who led the
improbable upset of
the Dallas Mavericks,
a then-No. 1 seed and
ended a 12-year playoff
drought for the Warriors;
four-time All-Star Guy
Rodgers, who's the team's all-
time assist leader; and five-
time All-Star Tim Hardaway,
who is second all-time in
assists for the team.
Curry had some big shoes to fill. Now it is Curry's time and with that he has shined especially in the brightest of moments (think: buzzer beater in game three), and that's why I believe Stephen Curry is the 2015 NBA most valuable player.
Men's golf seeks first Big 12 Championship in 16 years
Edited by Samantha Darling
NICK COUZIN
@Ncouz
Kansas men's golf took its talent to Tulsa, Okla., this week to take part in the Big 12 Championship Southern Hills Country Club The tournament will consist of 72 holes with 36 played Monday and 18 each on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Coach Jamie Bermel's lineup for the tournament consists of juniors Belle Wille and Connor Peck, sophomore Chase Hanna, and freshmen Jacques Wilson and Daniel Hudson.
CHASE HANNA
Hanna by far has been the best player on this Jayhawk team this year. The Jayhawks played in a total of 11 tournaments this year and Hanna led the team in five of them. He also finished in the top 20 in six of them. Additionally, he had the lowest stroke on the team this season with 72 strokes per round and he had the lowest total team score with eight rounds in the 60s. In Kansas history, he sits 18th all time as a second-year program player.
His play on the greens also translates to the classroom, as he was a Big 12 Academic All-American.
BEN WELLE
"I think his experience is a big thing for Chase," Bermel said in the University press release. "He has seen the golf courses last year, and his maturity as a sophomore has really helped as well. Chase continues to get better each week."
Welle really came onto the scene in the fall when he tallied the lowest score on the team twice. His stroke average is second lowest on the team at 72.4 per round, and it falls only behind Chase Hanna on the team.
In 31 rounds he played this
season, nine were under par and seven were even, accounting for more than half of the rounds he played on the year. That mark was truly phenomenal, and he'll look to keep it up as the team heads off to Tulsa.
DANIEL HUDSON
As a true freshman, Hudson was able to post the fourth lowest stroke average on the team with 73.4 strokes per round. Not only that, but he was able to finish in the top 20 twice and top 10 once. Considering his age, those numbers are definitely impressive, and Bermel said he has been pleased with Hudson's
performance.
"Daniel Hudson has really played well apart from the first tournament of the spring." Bermel said in the press release. "He has been in the top 20 three times and 23rd last week. Dan has shown a great deal of improvement from the fall as he did not get in the lineup too much."
CONNOR PECK AND JACQUES WILSON
Peck was one of the few jayhawk golfers to play in every competition this year. His stroke average was sixth lowest on the team with 73.5 strokes per round,
and he also added the team's lowest round average twice to his season resume.
Wilson competed in only one event this year as an individual. Wilson is a redshirt freshman coming off a back injury from last season.

CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE CHANCES The Jayhawks only have one Big 12 golf title, which they earned in 1999. That was under coach Ross Randall. Their second best finish came in 2000 when they tied for second.

COMMENTARY LeBron's first round dominance underrated
Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU
Rings. So often this is the argument when talking about players' legacies, especially when it comes to the NBA. However, another statistic can say a lot about a player.
Don't get me wrong. Finals victories and appearances are incredibly important in the legacy discussion. After all, Michael Jordan had six of each, Magic Johnson had five and nine, respectively, and Bill Russell posted 11 of each.
Leading a team to an NBA Championship is an incredible achievement, but it's certainly not the be-all and end-all. However, it is worth noting that James has started to reach the territory of the elite in that category, in his 12th season.
First round record.
Right now, it's possible (and maybe even probable) James could get back to the finals this year, but looking at the 11 seasons he's completed, his numbers stack up quite well.
At 30, James has reached the NBA Finals five times and has two rings to show for it, but for a player just halfway through his career, it's not completely accurate to compare his accomplishments to players who have completed their careers.
However, as far as first-round record is concerned, the numbers are quite telling.
In his 10 postseasons, James hasn't been eliminated in the first round, and barring something dramatic this year, he'll have never been eliminated from the playoffs in 10-or-fewer games in his career.
Michael Jordan, who seems to be the person James is always compared to, was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in each of his first three years in the league, and he was eliminated in 10-or-fewer games in the playoffs five times.
Now compare that to other legends. Magic Johnson was knocked out in the first round of the NBA playoffs twice. He made it fewer than 10 games three times. Larry Bird lost in the first round two times. He played 10-or-fewer games five times.
It took Jordan five NBA seasons to get past that 10-game mark; it took James three.
Considering how bad some of James' teammates have been over the years, this accomplishment is exemplified greatly. Here are the players who started alongside James in his first playoff game: Drew Gooden, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Eric Snow and Larry Hughes.
And in that first game, those four combined to score 33 points on 13 made field goals.
By himself, James scored 32 points on 12 made field goals, playing all 48 minutes of the game. And with James leading the way, the Cavaliers won the game.
Ultimately, a mark like first- round success isn't something that will be considered in legacy talks, nor is it something that carries the weight of perhaps 20 other career accomplishments.
However, LeBron's first-round record is extremely impressive in this day and age, especially considering how bad some of his teammates were, at least before he teamed up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami.

'EARN IT.'
New football coach David Beaty looking for his best 11 in spring game
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
It was a muggy, rainy day, but the Kansas football team was finally playing in Memorial Stadium in front of fans. Even though it was with a new head coach, a new offense and a new motto, they were on the field, and there was plenty to keep eyes peeled for.
It was a slow first half, which ended in the blue team (first-team offense) leading 3-0. But the second half gave Memorial Stadium a glimpse of the sun peeking through the clouds, and the play on the field reflected that. The game was more exciting, as the blue team marched to a 20-7 victory behind upcoming junior quarterback Montell Cozart.
But with the injury to senior quarterback Michael Cummings, the score was of little importance in the full spectrum of Saturday's game.
It has been said before, and it will be uttered many more times this season: Everything on this Kansas team is up for grabs and will have to be earned, according to coach David Beaty. "Everything" includes the Jayhawk decals on the sides of player helmets and names on the back of their jerseys.
"EARN IT"
"We're trying to take that blue-collar approach," Beaty said. "We're not going to worry about things that don't help us win until that time comes... We're going to wear just a helmet and just a jersey, and we're going to focus on trying to become better players."
"I just wanted them to play straight up football today because that's something we haven't done." Beaty said. "There was no blitzing today. There were no fake reverses, no reverses. There were hardly [any] misdirections offensively."
Another thing fans didn't see Saturday was the tempo Beaty wants to play at. Rather than the up-tempo pace seen at practice, Beaty slowed it down for teaching reasons.
Just like every college team in the country, Beaty didn't want to lay all his cards on the table just yet. However, on future Saturdays, fans can expect to see a much faster and diverse offense than the one they saw this past Saturday.
THE BEST 11 PLAYERS WILL PLAY
as senior Tre' Parmalee, who features mostly as a slot wide receiver, lined up all over the field. Six-foot-five junior tight end Kent Taylor lined up outside for his 85-yard-touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter.
The "best 11" isn't a new way to coach, and it's often times played up to be more than it is, but Beaty seems genuine about this best 11 format. On Saturday, we got a glimpse of that with the wide receivers,
"We're going to find our best 11 guys." Beaty said. "If you're one of those, you're not going to be standing by me. We will not hesitate to move you and put you in another spot. At wide receiver, we will play our best four. We won't tab you as an X or a Z or a Y or a H."
The most devastating situation to come out of the spring game was Cummings' left knee injury. He took a shot from senior safety Michael Glatzzak, although there is a no-contact rule for quarterbacks during spring football. After getting his knee wrapped on the sideline, Cummings was able to limp to the locker room. Beaty didn't have an update yet, but said he was being evaluated by the medical staff.
The hit from Glatezak was inexcusable. He dove into Cummings and landed right at his knee. Even on first look, it wasn't good.
"They know they're not supposed to touch those guys," Beaty said. "When they do, you get a mouthful from every coach on our staff.
not just me. [Coach] Clint Bowen, he is a raging lunatic at practice if you get close to that quarterback, because he understands that that guy is the key to the movement of this football team a lot of times."
Cummings told Beaty he thought it was an accident, telling him Glatzcak "didn't mean to do it," and "he got pushed into me." Cummings also told Beaty he was "OK."
Cozart finished the remainder of the game for the blue team, finishing with 219 yards and two touchdowns. Eighty-five of those yards came off a late mishap from the defense — junior tight end Kent Taylor's receiving touchdown.
BATES HAS A FIELD DAY
Transfer junior safety Bazie Bates IV was the standout on the defensive end for either team. He led all defenders with seven total tackles and was a constant force inside the box. Beaty has had his eye on the Texas native for years and initially tried recruiting him to Texas A&M while he was coaching there.
He comes downhill, and he will hit you," Beaty said. "He can get you on the ground. He runs all over that field, and he will strike you. We think that he could be a really good player for us."
Of course, Bates has a long
way to go to jump junior safety Fish Smithson on the depth chart. But he's making plenty of progress — and quickly. Saturday was a good indication of how well he's fitting into this defense and the changes at the Division I level.
Upcoming senior wide receiver Rodriguez Coleman and sophomore running back Corey Avery weren't in uniform for Kansas' game, and Beaty told media exactly why after the game.
INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED:
COLEMAN AND AVERY
"There are a couple guys who are suspended for violating team rules," Beaty said. "Rodriguez Coleman is one of those guys, and Corey Avery is another one. Their futures are uncertain."
Beaty added that both are indefinitely suspended. Coleman was expected to be a starting receiver for the Jayhawks this season after the team lost a hoist of guys to the NFL draft. Avery led the team in rushes and rushing yards in 2014, and was also expected to compete for the starting position with plenty of depth.
Beyond violating team rules, nothing is known about the two suspensions at this time.

Langford spent four seasons at Kansas and became one of the program's most prolific scorers of all time. Langford was a sharp-shooting lefty at the shooting guard position and averaged double-digit scoring in his final three seasons. As a sophomore, Langford earned a spot on the NCAA All-Final Four team and was a Wooden Award Finalist as a junior. Langford is part of Kansas' 1,000-point club, and since the streak began, only one player has surpassed him in points scored (Sherron Collins).

In Sunday's series finale against the West Virginia Mountaineers, the Kansas Jayhawks were unable to complete the sweep, falling 5-4 in Morgantown, W.V.
In the second inning, Kansas delivered a four-spot, which would turn out to be the only runs it would score in the contest.

Rackoski settled in for the remainder of his start. He wound up striking out seven batters in five innings, while allowing seven hits and three earned runs.
After freshman Blake Weiman came in for Rackoski, the lefty had a

Shortstop Taylor Munden later singled in the inning to score Caleb Potter and cut the lavihawks' lead to one.

Fraternity expels 4 members after anti-Muslim Yeti video

This is a screenshot of a post that appeared on the social media app Yeti on April 9. In the video, a student, then a member of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, mocked Islamic culture and chanted "Alahu Akbar."

MACKENZIE CLARK
@mclark59
The Zeta Beta Tau fraternity has expelled four men in response to an Islamophobic post on the social media app Yeti, according to a statement it released to The Kansan Monday night.
The statement cited a zero-tolerance policy for racism and discrimination as the reason the fraternity expelled four members within 24 hours of them admitting involvement, it said.
"We stand in solidarity with all students, faculty and staff and are here to support, listen and provide a safe space for all to grieve, process and heal."
OFFICE OF MULTICULTURAL AFFAIRS
"As an organization dedicated to our founding as the world's first Jewish fraternity, we take a strong stance against bigotry and intolerance in all forms," said the statement, submitted by Ben Felderstein, the fraternity's vice president of external affairs.
The post was a 10-second video of a few men laughing as one yelled "Allahu Akbar,"
which means "God is greatest" in Arabic.
Sheguffa Huma, president of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) at the University, also gave the Kansan a statement on behalf of the organization. She said the MSA and other Muslims on campus have "been appreciative of Zeta Beta Tau's swift independent action."
They demonstrated their willingness to ensure the Muslim community feels valued," Huma said in the statement. "The actions of these four individuals do not represent the values and standards of Zeta Beta Tau. This type of hateful behavior is entirely unacceptable and marginalized the Muslim community."
Radwan Dayib, a junior from Emporia, first tweeted about the post on April 10.
"Disgusted. Guy on Jayhawk snaps stereotypically depicts Muslims. Yells 'Allahu Akbar' with friends laughing," the tweet, which has since been deleted, read.
Huma said the MSA has been in talks with members of ZBT to prevent similar events from occurring in the future, and the organization is planning ways to educate the University community to be a safe, inclusive environment for all students.
The Office of Multicultural Affairs released a statement on April 10, which said it is
committed to social justice and equality for all.
"We stand in solidarity with all students, faculty and staff and are here to support, listen and provide a safe space for all to grieve, process and heal," the statement read.

The film, which was screened at the Sundance Film Festival, runs about an hour and 45 minutes. There will be a short introduction before the film and a longer discussion after when students will have the opportunity to be heard, ask questions of administrators and talk about what our University is already doing and can improve on, according to Student Conduct and Community Standards Coordinator, Joshua Jones.
The Office for Institutional Opportunity and Access is sponsoring the screening. Due to the content of the film, the University Care Coordinator and advocates from the GaDuGi SafeCenter will be available to students who need to process the subject matter privately or one-on-one in the Union.

The University's Watkins Health Center partnered with a group of orthopedic physicians from OrthoKansas, a health provider that is based in Lawrence.
Dechairo said orthopedics was the number one referral for Watkins by three times higher than the referral that was second on Watkins' list.
"It's pretty clear that if we were going to be looking at something that was going to be benefiting students, it would be orthopedics," Dechairo said
OrthoKansas sends two physicians to a satellite office in Watkins Health Center to provide treatment on Monday afternoons.
Watkins Health Center director Douglas Dechaio said that students at the university benefit from this by receiving care on campus as opposed to traveling to the organization's office on 6th and Maine.
OrthoKansas will pay rent pro-rated based on the time they spend in the Watkins Health Center.
"We can bring an expertise and specialty care, but on campus," Salazar said. "We've all been in athletics. [Non-student-athletes] can see somebody directly if you're not directly connected with the athletic department."
Orthopedics deals mainly with sports injuries, said OrthoKansas physician Luis Salazar, who works in the Watkins office. OrthoKansas works with KU Athletics as its orthopedics providers.
"It's here and it's convenient versus waiting for injuries to last longer," Salazar said. "When you have an active community with a large student body, unfortunately injuries can happen."
Salazar also said that the convenience for students improves the quality of care.

University police captain James Anguiano said the reason for the increase did not lie in an increase in criminal activity, but in an increase in enforcement of criminal activity.

"With a big drop last year, we came back up to a little bit higher than 2012," Anguiano said. "It has to do a lot with enforcement and recognition with drugs."

Criminal offenses at the University increased 24 percent from 2013 to 2014, according to crime statistics released last Wednesday by KU Public Safety.
Police captain: Rise in crime due to more enforcement
In 2013, there were only 670 criminal offenses, which is the lowest since 2007, when only 664 offenses were handled. This year, 840 offenses makes for the highest number of offenses in the last 10 years.

A big increase was shown in theft, where offenses increased from 193 to 239. Anguiano said theft was typically due to unattended property.
Drug offenses increased from 107 in 2013 to 177 in 2014, which, according to the University's press release, was due to the Office of Public Safety's work with Student Housing to better identify and recognize drug activity.
"I don't think [PSO has been] more involved [in training Housing staff] but the change has been showing," Robertson said. "They have been obtaining search warrants. That has been a change over the last two years."
Diana Robertson, director of Student Housing, said the University's Public Safety Office trains housing employees at the beginning of the year by teaching them to identify drug smells and paraphernalia. She said that the methods of finding drug activity hasn't changed, but the effectiveness of those methods has.
"Our officers work with the KU Department of Student Housing and keep them informed of current drug trends," said Ralph Oliver, director of Public Safety, in a University press release. "The use of technology and patrolling the parking lots and residence halls has led to an increase in drug-related violations."

Business school to offer online MBA program
Dee Steinle, the administra-
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Beginning next fall, the School of Business will offer a fully online Master of Business Administration (MBA) program.
Students will be able to take the entire 42 credit hours online, which will require about two years to complete.
Currently, the University offers two other MBA programs: the full-time program for students based in Lawrence, and the part-time program that offers evening classes at the Edwards campus in Overland Park.
nive director of masters programs for the business school, said the online program is most similar to the program at the Edwards campus because it's part-time in nature. However, there's still variation within the curriculum.
it provides the ultimate flexibility for balancing work and a graduate program," Steinle said.
The program does not take a business undergraduate degree to be enrolled in the program.
Engineers, scientists and more working professionals are always being targeted for management jobs," said Catherine Shenoy, director of
MBA programs for the business school. "This is a great prospect for people like them who might need more management education."
Nevertheless, any student is allowed to enroll in the online
"...this program could be good for not only people currently working, but students unsure of their future like me."
"There's a huge advantage because we're still offering the high-quality MBA education, but they don't have to be in Lawrence or even Kansas," Shenoy said.
MARISSA SARTORY Freshman from Overland Park
Marissa Sartory, a freshman from Overland Park, is studying business, but is glad to know that if she decides to choose a different route, she can always come back to the online program.
MBA program, so long as he or she is eligible for a graduate program.
To finish the MBA program, students have to choose between a specialization in finance, marketing or management and leadership.
Shenoy said many people have expressed interest in an online program over the years, so she's glad to see it finally happen.
"The online program is built on stackable certificates, meaning that if a student wanted to come in and get their Foundations of Business certification, they could finish quickly, but also get the choice to go on or stop." Shenoy said.

Riots in Baltimore persist over man's death

BALTIMORE — Rioters plunged part of Baltimore into chaos Monday, torching a pharmacy, setting police cars ablaze and throwing bricks at officers hours after thousands mourned the man who died from a severe spinal injury he suffered in police custody.
The governor declared a state of emergency and called in the National Guard to restore order, and Attorney General Loretta Lynch, in her first day on the job, said she would send Justice Department officials to the city in coming days. A weeklong, daily curfew was imposed beginning Tuesday from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., the mayor said, and Baltimore public schools announced that they would be closed on Tuesday. At least 15 officers were hurt, and some two dozen people were arrested. Two officers remained hospitalized, police said.
"The National Guard represents the last resort in restoring order." Gov. Larry Hogan told a news conference. "I have not made this decision lightly."
Officers wearing helmets and wielding shields occasionally used pepper spray to keep the rioters back. For the most part, though, they relied on line formations to keep protesters at bay.
Monday's riot was the latest flare-up over the mysterious death of Freddie Gray, whose fatal encounter with officers came amid the national debate over police use of force, especially when black suspects are involved. Gray was African-American. Police have declined to specify the races of the six officers involved in his arrest, all of whom have been suspended with pay while they are under investigation.
Emergency officials were constantly thwarted as they tried to restore calm in the affected parts of the city of more than 620,000 people. Firefighters trying to put out a blaze at a CVS store were hindered by someone who sliced holes in a hose connected to a fire hydrant, spraying water
all over the street and nearby buildings. Later Monday night, a massive fire erupted in East Baltimore that a spokesman for Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake initially said was connected to the riots. He later texted an AP reporter saying officials are still investigating whether there is a connection.
The Mary Harvin Transformation Center was under construction and no one was believed to be in the building at the time, said the spokesman, Kevin Harris. The center is described online as a community-based organization that supports youth and families.
The smell of burned rubber wafted in the air in one neighborhood where youths were looting a liquor store. Police stood still nearby as people drank looted alcohol. Glass and trash littered the streets, and other small fires were scattered about. One person from a church tried to shout something from a megaphone as two cars burned.
"Too many people have spent generations building up this city for it to be destroyed by thugs, who in a very senseless way, are trying to tear down what so many have fought for, tearing down businesses, tearing down and destroying property, things that we know will impact our community for years," said Rawlings-Blake, a lifelong resident of the city.
Gray's family was shocked by the violence and was lying low; instead, they hoped to organize a peace march later in the week, said family attorney Billy Murphy. He said they did not know the riot was going to happen and urged calm.
"They don't want this movement nationally to be marred by violence," he said. "It makes no sense."
Police urged parents to locate their children and bring them home. Many of those on the streets appeared to be African-American youths, wearing backpacks and khaki pants that are a part of many public school uniforms.
The riot broke out just as high school let out, and at a key city bus depot for student commuters around Mondaymin Mall, a shopping area northwest of downtown Baltimore. It shifted about a mile away later to the heart of an older shopping district and near where Gray first encountered police. Both commercial areas are in African-American neighborhoods.
Later in the day, people began looting clothing and other items from stores at the mall,

which became unprotected as police moved away from the area. About three dozen officers returned, trying to arrest looters but driving many away by firing pellet guns and rubber bullets.
Downtown Baltimore, the Inner Harbor tourist attractions and the city's baseball and football stadiums are nearly 4 miles away. While the violence had not yet reached City Hall and the Camden Yards area, the Orioles canceled Monday's game for safety precautions.
On Monday night, Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings and about 200 others, mostly men, marched arm-in-arm through a neighborhood littered with broken glass, flattened aluminum cans and other debris, to protest Gray's death. As they got close to a line of police officers, the marchers went down on their knees. After the ministers got back on their feet, they walked until they were face-to-face with the police officers in a tight formation and wearing riot gear.
In a statement issued Monday, Attorney General Lynch said she would send Justice Department officials to the city in coming days, including Vanita Gupta, the agency's top civil rights lawyer. The FBI and Justice Department are investigating Gray's death for potential criminal civil rights violations.
Many who had never met Gray gathered earlier in the day in a Baltimore church to bid him farewell and press for more accountability among
law enforcement.
"Freddie's death is not in vain," Bryant said. "After this day, we're going to keep on marching. After this day, we're going to keep demanding justice."
The 2,500-capacity New Shiloh Baptist church was filled with mourners. But even the funeral could not ease mounting tensions.
Bryant said Gray's death would spur further protests, and he urged those in the audience to join.
With the Rev. Jesse Jackson sitting behind him, the Rev. Jamal Bryant gave a rousing and spirited eulogy for Freddie Gray, a message that received a standing ovation from the crowded church.
Police said in a news release sent while the funeral was underway that the department had received a "credible threat" that three notoriously violent gangs are now working together to "take out" law enforcement officers.
The service lasted nearly two hours, with dignitaries in attendance including former Maryland representative and NAACP leader Kweisi Mfume and current Maryland Rep. John Sarbanes.
A small group of mourners started lining up about two hours ahead of Monday's funeral. Placed atop Gray's body was a white pillow with a screened picture of him. A projector aimed at two screens on the walls showed the words "Black Lives Matter & All Lives Matter."

Rescuers in Nepal struggle to recover the dead
TODD PITMAN
Associated Press
(1)
KATHMANDU, Nepal — For hours after Nepal was shaken by one of the most intense earthquakes here in nearly a century, 12-year-old Neha Chumda screamed for help.
WALLY SANTANA/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rescue teams search for bodies in the collapsed Sitaplya church in Kathmandu, Nepal, on April 27. A magnitude-7.8 earthquake shook Nepal's capital and the densely populated Kathmandu Valley on Saturday. The catastrophe has overwhelmed Nepal's government, with the challenge expected to worsen as the death toll climbs as rescuers reach vulnerable mountain villages that were hit hard.
She had been inside her family's four-story villa in Kathmandu when the tremor struck unexpectedly Saturday. And in the life-or-death seconds that followed — when her home swayed as its walls began cracking apart — she and 11 members of her family rushed to get outside.
They all made it — except Neha, who was pinned in a room between the second and third floors, which had collapsed on top of each other.
"She was crying for so long, we tried to help her," Transport Minister Tek Bahadur Garung said of the girl, who is the daughter of one of his cousins.
The cries turned faint, then ceased by the time Nepalese army troops and security forces began trying to break through the front of the house to pry Neha out at 4 p.m. Saturday. Then for a day and a half the soldiers used hammers, crowbars, shovels and a generator-powered saw and small jack-hammer to tear open the front of the house, then bust through the ceiling into the second floor.
By Monday morning, they could see Neha's lifeless body curled up, covered in dust, a single elbow poking out above them. Then, at 10 a.m. — 42 hours after the rescue operation began — they finally pulled her out. They lowered her gently into a rainbow colored blanket that served as a makeshift stretcher, then placed her on the grassy ground outside, where four members of her family wept, their red-eyes filled with tears.
"We have manpower. But we don't have nearly enough equipment to do the job." Garung said of his government's rescue efforts. "We need help from every country that will give it. We need buildoZers, cranes, scaffolding, machinery."
Speaking outside the girl's home in a black track suit, with dozens of distraught residents looking on, Garung said: "There are a lot of dead bodies here and it's very difficult to get them out. We can't do it with crowbars alone."
The estimated death toll from Nepal's earthquake soared past 4,000, and could go much higher if it turns out that vulnerable mountain villages — where information is still scarce and rescue workers are still struggling to reach — were hit hard.
The catastrophe has overwhelmed Nepal's government. Garung said the Cabinet was meeting daily, but "we don't know what to do in such a situation ... this is very hard. It's a big problem. It's a mess."
Many people have camped outdoors in the chilly night cold since the quake, some in tent cities in grass parks where thousands have congregated. Tens of thousands more squat on sidewalks and roads anywhere but their own houses fearing aftershocks that have shaken Nepal repeatedly. At one
Although the vast majority of Kathmandu's five and 10-story buildings actually withstood the quake and still stand, many have been damaged and it's unclear whether they are still safe. On the four-lane road that runs up a hill near Neha's home, most buildings looked undamaged. But half a dozen were in ruins and several multi-story apartment blocks were tilting precariously, one at a 60-degree angle.
of the city's international hotels, foreign guests have done the same, dragging bed-sheets and pillows into gardens outside and sleeping on lounge chairs by the pool.
For many, uncertainty reigns. It is unclear what is happening and when help might be on the way. Power lines are down, cell phone connections are sporadic at best and most shops and banks are closed. Long lines have also formed at gas stations as critical fuel supplies run low.
Amir Amang, who worked at the church, which was on the second floor, said one of those rescued had been saved after midnight. But he said four of his family members had been found and taken to a morgue. He said they were a niece, a
Just behind Neha's villa, another much larger operation to recover bodies was underway. Nepalese troops and Indian emergency rescue crews were scaling part of a green, three-story building with orange columns that had been destroyed.
Authorities estimated a few dozen people died inside the structure, most of them Christians attending a church
meeting. P.B. Bista, a police officer in the area, said 13 bodies had been recovered since the previous day, and six had been pulled from the rubble.
sister and two aunts. His father was still missing.
On the ground outside, the emergency workers brought a shattered wooden donation box filled with Nepalese rupees. The words "Youth Gospel" and "Luke 6:38" were written across its top. Beside it sat a black-bound Hindi language bible covered in dirt and a plastic bag of yellow biscuits.
Nepal is an overwhelmingly Hindu nation and has a small Christian population who comprise 1.4 percent of the country's 27 million people.
"I am shattered. I'm getting very emotional," he said, before waving his hand to indicate he could no longer speak, and walking away.
As he spoke, rescue workers brought down body after body seven in the space of one hour.
When the first man came on a yellow plastic stretcher, wrapped in a curtain with yellow and blue flowers, his brother began sobbing, putting his palms across his eyes. The dead man was face down, one of his fists still tightly clenched. He was placed, like the rest, on a plastic Pepsi advertisement torn from the building's wreckage.
Navraj Bhatta said the victim was a 25-year-old relative, a high-school science teacher named Rajendra Bhatta. He said the man had just eaten at a second-floor restaurant
called Daniel's Cafe with one of Bhattas relatives when the quake hit. The two were on the way out, but the teacher stopped to go to the bathroom.
"He never came out," Navraj said forlornly.
Navraj said the family would take Rajendra's body to a Hindu temple where he would be burned on a pyre by the Bagmati River. But he said there were long lines there and he was unable to say when it could happen.
Navraj said Rajendra might have survived if the city's notoriously lax building codes were enforced.
"There are many rules, but no one enforces them, nobody checks;" he said. "There is a lack of education, a weakness of government. But I can't blame anyone — this was a natural disaster, nobody ever wanted to see it happen."

Media covers presidential race too early
P. M. MUNRO
Matthew Clough
@mcloughsofly
American society is fast-paced. Increasingly, we want information as soon as we can get it and we become impatient when it's not readily available. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as this sentiment often pushes our society forward, advancing our technology, media and culture. But sometimes this hastened approach detracts from present circumstances and gives rise to misinformation, such as the 2016 presidential race.
So far, only four candidates have officially declared their campaigns for presidency: Republicans Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Democrat Hillary Clinton. This isn't surprising given that Inauguration Day is more than 600 days away. Perhaps it's ridiculous that American politics demand candidates to declare their intentions so early. What's even more ridiculous is the media and the public's response to the beginning of the election season.
participants to select from a list of individuals "who may be running" in the primaries. It is utterly impossible to gain any significant information from a poll conducted so prematurely.
As early as November 2014, both CNN and ORC International began conducting polls asking adult citizens which potential candidates they would most support in the presidential race. When these polls began, there were no candidates officially declaring their decision to run. The poll asked
to one another.
Another key problem with focusing on the 2016 presidential race this early is that none of the candidates have had significant time to establish meaningful platforms. According to Politico, Clinton attacked the Republican contenders for making her the focus of their campaigns, saying, "I don't know what they'd talk about if I weren't in the race." The fact that Clinton is currently the only Democratic candidate fuels the division between the parties, giving Republicans a specific target. The media and the public should be focusing on what each candidate stands for and not just how they relate
The New York Times opinion section published a questionnaire on April 16 entitled "Take Your Hillary Temperature." The short survey helps participants determine how they feel about Clinton's run for presidency. Although clearly created in a playful spirit, its existence fosters hype about Clinton's contention, which is seemingly inappropriate given that no other Democrats have joined the race yet. It's true that early polls show Clinton far ahead of other prospective candidates, but again, how accurate are these polls at this stage?
There's also the fact that President Barack Obama still has more than half a year left in office. By focusing too heavily on the developing 2016 race, the public largely undermines any attention
given to new developments in his presidency. The Obama administration is still operating and some of its policies will likely become important for the 2016 candidates down the road - that is, when it's actually clear who is running.
At this time, we cannot gain useful information regarding the 2016 presidential race, as it is too early. The media and public hype surrounding the campaign is excessive and detracts from focusing on what's happening now in Washington. Until more candidates have entered the race and the primaries begin, our society shouldn't insist on analyzing and critiquing presidential candidates' every move.

Social media challenges can hurt your health
Meg Huwe
@mphuwe
U unless you've been living under a rock or boycotting
social media, you probably noticed grotesque photos of men and women who've tried out the Kylie Jenner lip challenge.
At first, I looked at these images of over-swollen and bruised lips and just laughed. To me it was just another goofy and meaningless trend that would eventually fade — no harm no foul. I would not go so far as to criticize those participating because it's just another one of those trends that come and go to provide some common ground for youth across the country. But then I realized that not all social media trends are as fun and light-hearted as we might think they are.
The Sprite and banana challenge consists of eating two bananas,then immediately drinking a liter of Sprite, which usually results in the challenger vomiting. The milk
If you look back over recent years, there have been a number of strange but popular challenges appearing on social media, such as the salt and ice challenge, milk challenge, Sprite and banana challenge, Big Red gum wrapper challenge and the ever-so-famous cinnamon challenge.
challenge takes on a similar feat in which challengers try to drink a gallon of milk without vomiting. I watched guys in my residence hall participate in this last year, and, trust me, it didn't end well. For the Big Red gum wrapper challenge, a challenger sticks a licked gum wrapper on his or her forehead and creates a burning sensation and, sometimes, a red square. Scientists are still in the process of figuring why this happens, and have thus far concluded it has something to do with cinnamic aldehyde.
All of the challenges listed above are relatively harmless and can be pretty entertaining to witness. However, not all these big social media trends are innocent. As it turns out, this new Kylie Jenner challenge can cause permanent disfigurement, according to USA Today. More seriously, the salt and ice challenge, which asks challengers to test their endurance by holding ice over salt on their skin for as long as possible, caused a 12-year old boy to get second-degree burns, said CBS News.
The cinnamon challenge can induce asthma attacks, which, according to Forbes, and, while there have been no reports of death yet, asthma attacks have been known to be fatal.
I tried the cinnamon challenge once with my friends when I was in middle school. I use "with" loosely, as I was the only one who actually did it. I spent the better part of the evening coughing and eating ice cream to stop
the burning sensation in my throat. As university students, most of us have had a chance to mature since these socially awkward teenage years.
According to the Smithsonian magazine, adolescent brains have a tendency to make riskier decisions because of an extra sensitive reward system, such as positive reinforcement.
We don't need to be fun police and shoot down every silly idea to spread like wildfire on the Internet, but we have to take a moment to consider the consequences of these trends. Even if we aren't participating in said activities, we must rethink our response to these trends so that the dangerous ones are not positively reinforced.
In the meantime, keep in mind that the only person who should have Kylie Jenner's lips is Kylie Jenner. You look great, probably better, without sucking on a shot glass for five minutes.

My mom used to tell me all the time that "it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt." This phrase can still be applied to us today, especially in the social media realm. Social media is powerful at providing a common ground to unite people across the world, and share a good laugh about the trends. However, we need to be cautious when laughing at possibly dangerous trends or at least make sure that the consequences are as well-known as the challenge itself

The Kylie Jenner lip challenge, inspired by Kylie Jenner, is a social media challenge in which participants try to enhance their lip size using glass cups. Other social media challenges, like the cinnamon challenge, have been shown to have harmful effects on participants health.

Dejah Reed, an Ypsilanti, Mich., teen, was hospitalized for a collapsed lung after trying the cinnamon challenge.

What to know about Neutral Milk Hotel

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO BY WILL WESTBROOK From left, Jeff Magnum, Scott Spillane, Julian Koster and Jeremy Barnes make up alternative-indie band Neutral Milk Hotel. The band released two albums in the late '90s, and will be in Lawrence tonight for what they say is their farewell tour.
Alternative-indie band Neutral Milk Hotel emerged in the '90s with two iconic albums — "On Avery Island" and "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea." Since then, the band took breaks, reunited for tours, took another break, and is now touring again. This time around, though, will (most likely) be the last.
The band embarked on its farewell tour just two weeks ago. It will extend through the middle of June. Tonight, the band will perform a sold-out show at Liberty Hall. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 8 p.m.
Here are five things you may not know about Neutral Milk Hotel:
1. The band formed in Ruston, La., in the late '80s. It cites influences such as Arcade Fire, Franz Ferdinand and Bright Eyes, among others.
2. Since its inception, the band has only released two full-length albums. The first, "On Avery Island," was released in 1996, and the second, "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," was released in 1998. The band has performed in sold-out venues nationwide with these two albums as a foundation, according to Billboard.
3. Following the release of its second album and the coinciding tour in 1998, the band went on hiatus until 2013 — nearly a decade and a half, according to Rolling Stone.
4. Frontman Jeff Mangum identifies as a recluse, according to a Slate article. The band doesn't conduct interviews, doesn't allow for large monitors to broadcast its performance during larger festival performances and requests concert-goes don't photograph or record performances. Mangum toured as a solo artist in 2011-
12 — he performed at Liberty Hall in January 2013.
5. After its worldwide reunion tour in 2013, the band announced that it will tour one last time in 2015. It announced the tour on its site along with this message
"dear friends we love you but it's time to say goodbye for the never ending now to announce that spring 2015 will be our last tour for the foreseeable future and so we extend our deepest gratitude to all the beautiful people who came to see us over the last year... [...]
wed also like to give thanks to ms. aurora borealis, father foam horse, and mr. valentich for there[sic] collaborative contributions to the 'womb rume' message that made its way onto this ear area only a few months ago, but from now on, all ciphers shall be sealed exclusively by the meister milk. thank you."

Wells Fargo releases ads with diverse families
I'm so happy!

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO FROM WELLS FARGO
This screenshot from the new Wells Fargo ad features two mothers who learn sign language for their adopted daughter, who is deaf. The ad is the first of nine to be released, all featuring diverse families. The campaign has been touted by many on Twitter as being heart-warming and positive.
touching advertisement depicting the journey of a same-sex couple as they learn sign language before adopting a deaf little girl is the first in a string of nine Wells Fargo advertisements featuring more diverse individuals.
The advertisement begins by showing the two women taking classes and practicing sign language with subtitles of what they're signing, but the reason is kept from the viewer until the end when they sit down with their soon-to-be daughter. They're able to sign to her how thrilled they are to be her mommies, and she signs back, with a beaming smile, that she's happy too.
The campaign, which focuses on all the personal reasons people work, launched on Monday, and Wells Fargo released a statement saying:
"We believe you can create marketing that resonates with a wide range of people if you have storytelling with universal themes that they can emotionally connect to," said Jamie Moldafsky, Wells Fargo's chief marketing officer. "The message behind our new advertising is a great example — we all work, and do so for what
are often emotional reasons. That's a place where we think Wells Fargo's brand can have a very meaningful connection with people."
While small businesses refusing services to same-sex couples has been in the news recently, it's refreshing to see more and more well-known businesses standing for equality and focusing on more diverse individuals. Many other companies, such as Tiffany & Co., Cheerios, Hallmark and Allstate have featured same-sex couples, but Wells Fargo is the most recent.
The statement from Wells Fargo also reads, in part, "the new campaign aims for a variety of narratives, reflecting Wells Fargo's commitment to diversity
and inclusion and its "total market" approach to major marketing initiatives outreach to mass market audiences through fully integrated cross-cultural approaches and messages that represent the increasingly diverse U.S. population and incorporating cultural cues with universal appeal."
In addition to this television ad campaign, Wells Fargo is inviting people to use the hashtag #Whylwork to express on social media their personal motivations. Some of those tweets included a tweet from LGBT Segment Leader at Wells Fargo, Alec Hughes, saying "Love makes a family!"
An editor at Think Progress, Zack Ford, tweeted "OHMYGOD This @
WellsFargo ad just made me bawl my eyes out! (I am not exaggerating.)"
Another Twitter user, Christie, tweeted "@ WellsFargo love the new commercial!!! It gave me chills! What a great way to start our week!" and "@ WellsFargo I loved it all but when she said "we're your mommies" is where it got me. Thank you for showing all different kinds of families."
While the first ad shows the heart-warming journey of two women as they start a family, Wells Fargo has more touching stories up their sleeves. Expect to see more ads soon — one showing a one-man business owner playing all the roles of a large corporation,
be it the sales department or human resources. The next one to expect is mostly in Spanish, showing a day in the life of a family who's running their beauty product business from their home. They're transferring calls from the father to the mother to the daughters as they work together to create a successful business.
Wells Fargo's motto, "Together we'll go far," is more clear than ever in its new campaign featuring these families and individuals pursuing their dreams for all the personal, emotional reasons they hold closest to their hearts.

Prosecutor describes Colorado gunman's path to 2012 murders
"Through this door is horror. Through this door are bullets, blood, brains and bodies. Through this door, one guy who thought as if he had lost his career, lost his love life, lost his purpose, came to execute a plan," said Brauchler, standing before a scale model of the theater.
"Four-hundred people came into a boxlike theater to be entertained, and one person came to slaughter them," the prosecutor said.
Many more people would have died, but a magazine on his AR-15 assault rifle jammed, leaving 218 bullets unfired, Brauchler said.
It remains one of America's deadliest shootings, and that Holmes was the lone gunman has never been in doubt. He was arrested at the scene, along with an arsenal of weapons on his body and in his car.
Under Colorado law, Brauchler must prove Holmes was sane so that he will instead be executed or spend the rest of his life in prison.
Jurors must eventually decide whether he was unable to know right from wrong because of a mental illness or defect when he slipped into the theater, unleashed tear gas and tried to empty his weapons on the crowd. He's charged with 166 counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder and an explosives offense for the mayhem he caused on July 20, 2012.
Holmes' public defender, Daniel King, countered that 20 doctors who examined him in custody as well as the therapist who saw him before the shootings all agree he suffers from schizophrenia, a psychotic brain disease that skewed his thoughts and compelled him to kill.
"Mental illness can sure sound like an excuse, but in this case, it's not," King said. "There will be no doubt in your minds that by the end of this trial, Mr. Holmes is severely mentally ill."
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — A prosecutor declared Monday that two psychiatric exams found Colorado theater gunman James Holmes to be sane as he meticulously plotted a mass murder, considering a bomb or biological warfare before settling on a shooting so that he could slaughter more people.
"Boom!" District Attorney George Brauchler said as he showed pictures of the victims and the weapons Holmes used to kill them on a TV screen. "Boom!" he repeated, describing in detail how bullets pierced organs and destroyed limbs.
"He was a good kid" who had no record of ever harming anyone before he had a psychotic delusion that compelled him to murder 12 people and wound 70 at a midnight "Batman" premiere nearly three years ago, King said.
Tom Sullivan, center, embraces family members outside Gateway High School where he had been searching for his son, Alex Sullivan, who was killed while attending "The Dark Knight Rises," movie by gunman James Holmes opened fire, in Aurora, Colo., on July 20, 2012. Twelve people were killed and 70 others injured in the shooting.
Holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. His defense hopes jurors will agree and have him committed to an institution as criminally insane for the rest of his life.

Holmes sat quietly, harnessed to the floor by a cable that ran through his pants leg as the lawyers described his emotional rise and fall.
The prosecutor said the once-promising doctoral candidate told his ex-girlfriend that he had an "evil" plan "to kill people,"
but she dismissed his threat as "theoretical."
Turning away offers of help from his parents, friends and a therapist on campus, Holmes bought guns, protective gear, a detonation system and extremely flammable chemicals to blow up his apartment with. Holmes also got earphones to blast techno music to drown out his victims' screams, and died his long hair a clown-like red, not in a reference to Batman's archenemy, but because he wanted to "be remembered," Brauchler said.
"By the time he gets into that theater ... there is not a millimeter of flesh that is not covered by armor or some protective material," the prosecutor said. "He was
wearing a kill suit."
Prosecutors allege that Holmes planned the violence for months. "He tried to murder a theater full of people to make himself feel better and because he thought it would increase his self-worth," Brauchler said.
To prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was "not insane," Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr., told the jury, the state must show he had "a culpable state of mind." If Holmes acted with deliberation and intent — willfully taking actions that he knew would kill people — then even if he had mental problems, he should be found guilty of murder, the judge said.
nothing inconsistent between mental illness and planning. The question is what are they planning for? Is it a logical, rational objective? Or is it a delusional objective that makes no sense?"
But King said "there is
King quoted from a journal the failed doctoral student in neuroscience mailed to his therapist just before the shooting. In it, Holmes wrote: "Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Life has no value whatsoever ... Untruth is converted to truth by violence times zero, problem equals question mark, zero times problem equals question mark times zero, based on an incorrect theorem, zero equals zero, problem solved."

TONY DEJAK/ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — Alex Gordon, Mike Moustakas and the Kansas City Royals kept ALCy Young Award winner Corey Kluber winless this season, beating the Cleveland Indians 6-2 Monday night.
Gordon drove in two runs, and had a go-ahead double in the sixth. Moustakas had four hits, including an RBI single in the seventh, and is 11 for 25 lifetime against Kluber.
Kluber (0-3) gave up six runs, four of them earned, and 10 hits in 6 1-3 innings. After going 18-9 last year, he hasn't won in five starts and has a 4.24 ERA.
The Indians committed a season-high three errors and have lost seven of 10.
Jason Vargas (2-1) allowed two runs in five innings. The left-hander, who pitched around five walks, gave up a two-run homer to Mike Aviles in the fifth.
Kluber recorded his 500th career strikeout when he whiffed Lorenzo Cain in the sixth. The right-hander struck out five and walked two.
Errors by shortstop Jose Ramirez and Aviles, playing third base, helped Kansas City score twice.
Eric Hosmer, who had an RBI single in the third, drew a leadoff walk to start the sixth. He took third on Kendrys Morales' single before Gordon dropped a double near the line in left field for a 3-2 lead.
Kansas City's Jarrod Dyson stole three bases, his first of the season.

Kansas golf finishes 8th in Big 12 championship

TOURNAMENT NOTABLES
The Jayhawk women's golf team finished in eighth place in the nine-team field this weekend, shooting a final team score of 906 (+42) in San Antonio, Texas. Sophomore Pornvipa Sakdee earned an all-tournament honor, and junior Yupaporn Kawinpakorn earned both an all-tournament honor and her third consecutive all-championship team honor. Sakdee was the individual leader in the tournament shooting an even par of 216 (E), and she entered the final day tied for second, but finished fourth overall. Kawinpakorn shot a 217 (+1) and tied in fifth behind her
teammate, Sakdee.
BIG 12 CHAMPION
Baylor won the tournament shooting an 867 (+3) to claim the Big 12 title.
OTHER NOTABLE FINISHES
The three other golfers who competed for the Jayhawks this last weekend were seniors Gabriella DiMarco and Minami Levonowich and freshman Pitsinee Winyarat. Levonowich tied for 40th with her overall score at 233 (+17). DiMarco shot an overall score of 240 (+24) which placed her at 44th, and Winyarat rounding out at 45th, shooting an overall score of 252 (+36).
NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP CHANCES Despite not having the best
finish to the year, coach Erin O'Neil is still optimistic that her team could make it to regionals.
"I don't know that we are completely out of [NCAA] regionals yet," O'Neil said. "There's still a slight chance since there were some Big 10 schools that were ranked above us who didn't play well at their championship. Mook (Kawinpakorn) will likely go as an individual."
The NCAA Regional will take place from May 7-9, and the Jayhawks will find out Monday night if they qualify. Last year, Kansas made the tournament as an at-large bid and will look to do the same this year.

EVERY KANSAS FAN
CAN REMEMBER
EXACTLY WHERE
THEY WERE WHEN...
they watched "The Shot," the now-famous moment when Mario Chalmers tied the 2008 National Championship and forced overtime.
Tears were shed that night, and Mass Street was flooded with people from the community. Kansas had won a national title. It was all made possible by one of the greatest shots in program history.
Every game, students save a chunk of shredded newspaper to toss up when Chalmers' shot finds the bottom of the net in the video.
"The Shot" has been played in every single pre-game hype video ever since.

For the last few weeks, The Kansan has been having a contest to find out who exactly has been the face of the streak of eleven consecutive conference title
Eleven years,11 conference titles. But one year stood out from the rest.
In 2007-08, Bill Self coached arguably his most talented team all the way to the National Championship game.
The path to the 2008 NCAA Championship included

another conference title, the team's fourth consecutive title at the time.
Self's squad willed its way through one of the toughest routes to the title game that a team could have. They narrowly escaped Davidson in the Elite 8 with current front-runner for the NBA MVP, Stephen Curry. The Jayhawks bullled their way past a Tyler Hansbrough-led North Carolina team in the Final Four.
Kansas capped it off with an overtime victory against a Calipari-coached Memphis team in arguably one of the most thrilling title games in college basketball history.
Chathers had a note something to do with that. Memphis led by nine with 2:12 left in regulation, led by
Derrick Rose. The comeback looked improbable. Missed free throws by the Tigers opened the door, and Chalmers did the honors of shutting it completely.
With 2.1 seconds left in the game, Chalmers netted the game-tying three to force overtime. Kansas would end up cutting down the nets and winning its first title in 20 years.
Chalmers was rightfully awarded the 2008 Final Four Most Outstanding Player immediately following the win.
It's not like the moment Chalmers is now famous for came out of nowhere. He was a vital contributor in his three-year career at Kansas. Chalmers averaged 12.2 points per contest during his time at Kansas. He also added 2.8 rebounds and 3.8 steals per game.
Aside from his obvious accomplishments, Chalmers left a dent in the Kansas history books. He remains the total steals leader in Kansas men's basketball history at 97. He led the Big 12 in steals all three years.
many teams have come and gone over the last 11 years. Bill Self has continued to get the best out of his team, year after year. But only one team has cut down the nets. None of that would have been possible without Mario Chalmers.

Kansas defeated Missouri in the last installment of the Border War, where Robinson's thunderous block electrified the Fieldhouse in a way that it had never been seen before, and has never been since.
Following Robinson's block,
Allen Fieldhouse reached a
noise level of 127.3 decibels,
which was an NCAA record.
For reference, 130 decibels
produces a noise comparable to a military aircraft takeoff from 50 feet away, according to chem.purdue.edu.
And yes, prolonged exposure to such a noise is not only painful, but can cause long-term hearing loss.

That's what Thomas Robinson did. That's who Thomas Robinson was.
In his three years at Kansas, Robinson improved at an exponential rate, culminating in a junior campaign when he finished as one of the four finalists for Naismith Player of the Year award.

Robinson was a huge part of the Jayhawks' massive success, all the way into March, reaching the Final Four for the second time in a five-year stretch.
In the tournament, Robinson posted 18 or more points in four out of the six games, and he had 13 or more rebounds four times as well. His motor allowed him to continue to relentlessly attack opponents all the way through the end of the season, despite the incredible body of work hed put in throughout the year.

the Jayhawks that season. Since Bill Self took over in the 2003-04 season, there have been exactly zero other power forwards or centers that have played that many minutes on the year. Zero.
Whether it was him pumping his fist and letting out a yell after swatting Phil Pressy's end-of-regulation attempt, or pretending to tear off his jersey Superman-style. Robinson was one of the most electric basketball players in the Bill Self era, and, for that, he was also one of the most beloved.
At Kansas, Robinson wore his heart on his sleeve and played with a toughness that is seldom seen in college basketball. Dealing with the loss of family members, Robinson grew up and became a man, and that was present every time he stepped on the court.
While Robinson's accomplishments on the court are obvious, he left another legacy: FOE.
Family Over Everything.
That motto didn't just apply to the team, but to Kansas fans as a whole. In his time at Kansas, Robinson wasn't just another player. He was so much more. Kansas fans cared for Robinson like he was one of their own, and that's why he should move on to the Final Four in Face of the Streak, even at the expense of Mario Chalmers.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"If you're a general manager and you're a team that is right on the verge of being an elite team, a Super Bowl contender, I wouldn't go out and draft a young running back. I think Adrian is somebody I'm going to go out and get because he can put you over the top."
— Herschel Walker, via FoxSports.com
FACT OF THE DAY
Adrian Peterson holds the NFL single game rushing yard record at 296 yards against San Diego on Nov. 4, 2007.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who is the highest paid NFL player?
A: Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears quarterback, has a seven-year contract of $126.7 million.

THE MORNING BREW
Finding Adrian Peterson's best NFL fit
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has a tough case on his hands—this time outside the courthouse.
the courthouse.
Peterson has made it apparent that he may not want to resign as a Viking. After Peterson's indicted child abuse charges last year, he did not feel the Vikings were welcoming and that there might be a better fit elsewhere.
The Minnesota Vikings drafted Peterson in 2007. Since then, he has won multiple awards, broken several NFL records and became one of the best running backs in the NFL.
When Peterson signed his contract in 2011, he was guaranteed $36 million, and he has received all of the guarantee money at this point. However, Peterson's high-paying salary will work against him during trading. Most teams cannot match the cap space that the Vikings have. However, that has not prevented all teams from being a possibility for Peterson.
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
The Jaguars do not suffer from cap size issues, making Peterson within their budget. Gaining Peterson would mean an upgrade from Denard Robinson and reuniting Peterson with his
Shelby Dufour
@ShelbsDu456
former teammate, Toby Gerhart. Off the field, Peterson could boost the Jaguars' franchise and media attention, although it's far from a perfect fit.
After all, Peterson may have hesitation toward Jacksonville because it is a young team that has yet to prove itself. With a player of Peterson's caliber, there are still tons of opportunities to play for already established teams.
ARIZONA CARDINALS
Right now, there are a few ways the Cardinals could acquire Peterson. First, they could get him from a trade with the Vikings for a draft pick, which would require Peterson to rework his contract, but that does not seem likely.
The other route Arizona could go is trading starting quarterback Carson Palmer in hopes to use a first-round draft pick on a quarterback. The Cardinals would then foresee using Adrian Peterson the next three years. Overall, the Cardinals see Peterson as "the complete package" according to Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
With the lack of production from Doug Martin and Bobby Rainey, the Buccaneers could utilize Peterson in the backfield. Since the Buccaneers are looking at obtaining a rookie quarterback, having Peterson in the backfield will help ease the growth. Peterson has shown much interest in the Buccaneers as they are able to accommodate to his high salary. Although, Tampa Bay will have to hand over more than just money to gain Peterson. The team's 34th selection in the draft will not be enough for a one-on-one trade.
As a native Texan, Peterson is very interested in the Cowboys, yet they have shown no interest in him. Owner Jerry Jones has not reached out to Peterson at this point, and according to Yahoo Sports, he does not want to pay the price the Vikings demanded.
However, this wouldn't be first time Jones has changed his mind during the offseason. With the reworking of Tony Romo's deal, the Cowboys are capable of adding Peterson with the
DALLAS COWBOYS
THE BREW
right trade. But another problem emerges, in that the Cowboys are not interested in trading for veterans, and they could possibly be deterred by a player with a scandal on his profile.
If Peterson stays put with the Vikings, what will happen? He has already been offered $13 million for 2015, an unguaranteed salary of $15 million for 2016 and $17 million for 2017. In addition, they have discussed alleviating some of his injury-risk with guaranteed money. Resigning with the Vikings is Peterson's only safe bet at not losing any money.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS
Deals are continuously being discussed and strings are being pulled all in an effort to gain Adrian Peterson. However, no one will know for sure where Peterson is going to play until this weekend's NFL Draft.

CHICAGO — Michael Carter-Williams had 22 points and eight

With a 3-2 lead, the Bulls will try
to close it out again Thursday at Milwaukee. But the Bucks aren't going quietly after dropping the first three games.
They took Game 4 on a last-second layup by jerryd Bayless and withstood several pushes by
the Bulls in the fourth quarter of this one.
Carter-Williams hit 10 of 15 shots while outplaying Derrick Rose. The Bucks' guard rolled his right ankle early in the third but came back late in the quarter
The Bucks regrouped after a nine-point lead dwindled to three, and they hung on again after a seven-point lead shrunk to four with just over a minute remaining.

Wichita State cancels softball matchup against Kansas, cites scheduling concerns
The Jayhawks will get an extended break between games this week, as the regularly scheduled Tuesday matchup against the Wichita State Shockers has been canceled.
According to a University release, Wichita State canceled the match due to overscheduling concerns. NCAA regulations limit each Division I team to 56 games per season, not including postseason contests. Tuesday's game would have put the Shockers over this limit.
The match will not be rescheduled.
Due to the cancellation, the Jayhawks will finish the season with an impressive 30-3 record against nonconference teams. The Jayhawks will be back in action Friday at 5 p.m. for the final home conference series of the 2015 season against the No. 13 Baylor Bears.
during Saturday's game, the Jayhawks will honor their senior class, composed of infielders Maddie Stein and Chanin Naudin, as well as pitchers Beth Wilson and Alicia Pille.

COMMENTARY
New basketball apartments will draw in recruits
Kansas basketball already has Allen Fieldhouse,but now Bill Self and company have something else to be excited about — a new housing facility.
Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
Established with the $17.5 million donated to Kansas Athletics from various donors, as well as bonds, Marie S. McCarthy Hall will offer private bedrooms and bathrooms, an indoor basketball court, pool tables, a theatre room, meeting rooms and a dining room.
Those donations will make all of that possible, and it'll give the Kansas basketball program another advantage: a recruiting boost. The exclusive, basketball-only apartments should be a massive addition to a program that is already one of the best in the nation in recruiting.
According to a Student Housing release, construction on the building will be finished this July.
The University of Kentucky was the first to revolutionize the luxury apartment incentive in 2012. But Calipari's player mansion isn't quite as luxurious as the one Self will open up this summer.
Though locations are similar for both the Kentucky and Kansas facilities — both just a jaunt away from the practice facilities — there are a few amenities Kansas offers that Kentucky doesn't.
Kansas' facilities will include a full-court basketball facility, whereas Kentucky doesn't have one at all. McCarthy Hall will also house a full-fledged theatre, unlike Kentucky. The Jayhawk players will live in individual rooms and private bathrooms, while players share a room and bathroom at Kentucky.
In all, the apartments will house 66 students, but more than half of those of those spots (38) will go to regular students, adding up to about $265,000 per tenant. The cost might sound outlandish, but, once it's built, compounding the apartments with Allen Fieldhouse will make Kansas seemingly irresistible for recruits.
KC ROYALS Royals take 6-2 victory over Indians Monday night | PAGE 7
If Kansas basketball fans expect the team to pull in some of the top recruits in the nation, they're just going to have to get over the dollar figure. With practice and workouts nearly every single day, no student-athlete has the ability to work, study and buy these amenities for themselves. It's not as if they aren't paying the University back, either: they're the people who put fans in the 16,300 seats in Allen Fieldhouse for every single game, and bring in thousands of dollars in jersey sales each and every season.
Before you criticize the dollars being thrown around, don't forget what the student athletes, current and future, represent and all they embody for the University's student body.

Kansas QB Cummings to have knee surgery
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
More than 6,200 fans held their breath, as they watched junior quarterback Michael Cummings being walked back to the locker room. Despite wearing a red jersey, a symbol meaning no contact, Cummings took a hit to his left knee in the Spring Game on Saturday.
Monday morning, Beaty announced in a news release that the quarterback would require surgery on his injured knee. He did not provide any specifics about the injury or a timetable for Cummings' return.
"Following his surgery he will work diligently, alongside our medical staff, to get back to the field as quickly as possible," Beaty said.
Cummings, a 5-foot-10 Texas native, played in 12 games his junior season, starting in the final seven contests under center. Cummins threw for 332 yards against TCU, the most passing yards by a Kansas quarterback since 2009. He also threw for more than 235 yards in five straight games, another feat that hadn't been accomplished by a Kansas quarterback since 2009.
"Following his surgery he will work diligently, along-side our medical staff, to get back to the field as quickly as possible."
DAVID BEATY Kansas football coach
Like every position on the roster, Beaty expects the starting quarterback to earn the title. Cummings had been competing with sophomore Montell Cozart, who began the 2014 season as the starter before Cummings replaced him.
The two quarterbacks were splitting time leading the blue offense on Saturday to give the coaching staff a chance to evaluate them.
In the second quarter, Cummings broke downfield for a quarterback scramble, showing he had the ability to run. Cummings was not expecting to get hit.
However, junior walk-on safety Michael Glatczak attempted to pull himself away from a downfield block, and the force caused him to drift toward Cummings. His helmet hit the quarterback's left knee.
On Saturday, Beaty said Glatczak was not at fault. Monday morning, Beaty reiterated it was an accident
"I have reviewed the film from Saturday and Michael Glatczak was being blocked down the field and had his back to the action for almost the entire play," Beaty said. "At the last second he turned to make the tackle without having any idea who was carrying the ball."
Without Cummings, Kansas will have to move forward with Cozart and sophomore T.J. Millweard sharing reps under center in practice.

Krauth earns Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Week
Jayhawks 22
Kansas baseball junior pitcher Ben Krauth was named Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Week on Monday for his performance in the Jayhawks' weekend series against West Virginia.
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
On Friday, Krauth pitched 6.1 innings and sent a third of the batters he faced back to the dugout with eight strikeouts. He also kept the Mountainees offense to a minimum, allowing one run and three hits.
Junior pitcher Ben Krauth throws against Utah on March 6. Krauth was named the Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Week Monday after Kansas' weekend series against West Virginia.
"I am really proud of him," coach Ritch Price said in a press release. "He has made as much progress in his first year on campus as any junior college player we have ever had."
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
"The confidence level he brings in our dugout is that we can win every time he walks onto the field."
RITCH PRICE Kansas baseball coach
Since transferring to Kansas from Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, Calif., Krauth has developed into a major asset in the Jayhawks' pitching rotation. He has started 11 games this season and cemented himself as the Jayhawks' Friday starter.
"He sets the tone for the weekend and gives us a legitimate chance to win on Friday night," Price said. "The confidence level he brings in our dugout is that we can win every time he walks onto the field. He is that special."
Krauth has a 6-3 record throughout his starts and leads layhawk pitchers in multiple statistics. Krauth has recorded the most strikeouts in the rotation with 68 on the year — 23 more than any other pitcher on the team. Krauth
also leads starting pitchers with a 3.73 ERA, while tying teammate Drew Morovick for least earned runs allowed among the starters at 30 this season.
Krauth has established himself as one of the league's best pitchers in his first year playing in the Big 12. He is ranked fifth among Big 12 pitchers in ERA, throwing a 2.00 since conference play started. He
also has the second-most strikeouts with 38 against league opponents.
Krauth is the second jayhawk to earn the honor this season. Freshman indefier
"At this level everything is heightened." Krauth said earlier this season. "You got to take advantage of the things you can control and if you do that, everything else takes care of itself."
Matt McLaughlin was the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week for his performance in the Jayhawks' series against Oklahoma in early April.
The Jayhawks will face Arkansas-Pine Bluff at home on April 29. Krauth is set to start for the Jayhawks on May 1 as they host the Baylor Bears at Hoglund Ballpark in Lawrence for a weekend series.

Next academic year, undergraduate students working on campus won't be allowed to clock more than 20 hours, a policy already in place by many universities across the nation, according to Director of Human Resources Ola Faucher.
Faucher said the current academic year served as a transition period for departments to prepare for the change.
Faucher said. "That year will pass in May, so we'll be in the time period where the policy will be enforced as written."
The University announced the enforced rule last summer in response to the enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The law requires an employer to provide health care coverage to anyone working more than 30 hours. Bobo said restricting the amount of hours puts oncampus student workers in a significant bind.

Russian student activists visit campus to learn about sustainability
While reflecting on their past week in Lawrence, eight Russian student activists and their director, Maria Zhevlakova, ate breakfast together Sunday. The group visited Lawrence last week as part of the Peer-to-Peer Eco Reps Program, and they visited sustainable campus buildings, student farms and observed how students here work with sustainability and environmental programs. In May, University of Kansas students will spend a week in St. Petersburg, Russia, to learn and observe in the same way.
Eight student activists from Russia observed Lawrence student culture, toured sustainable campus buildings and learned from student farms. As part of the Eco-Reps: Peer to Peer Sustainability Outreach Program, these students from different parts of Russia came to Lawrence to learn from and observe the various ways our students work with sustainable infrastructure and the environment. They were hosted by The University of Kansas Center for Russia, East European and Eurasian Studies
"There are two important
things in our trip here: to exchange some knowledge of how things are made in Russia and in America, and also it aims to build mutual understanding between American students and Russian students," said Artem Pastukhov, student activist at Itmo University in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Pastukhov developed a program with two peers, also on the trip, to reduce food waste by using it as fertilizer at their University. Each of the students on this trip either have a team or an individual project focusing on some area of sustainability positive economic, social and environmental changes for their schools or communities.
"These programs are crucial,"
said Russian program director Maria Zhevlakova. "They all have various projects and are activists. They focus on what is possible in their prospective villages. Unlike here, where municipalities are in charge of waste collection, no such system exists in Russia."
In May, students from the University of Kansas will travel to St. Petersburg, Russia to learn about sustainability and foreign students, just as they were observed. Pastkhov said the Russian and KU students had the opportunity to meet this past week, trade souvenirs and attend the Farmers' Ball together.
Zhevlakova recalled when she traveled to Detroit in 2009 as part of a community

Residence halls encourage donations

For the past six years, KU Student Housing and the KU Surplus at the Center for Sustainability have found an easy way for students to give back to the community at the end of each school year.
"It's really a great opportunity for students to keep unwanted items from going into the dumpster and giving them to

individuals who could really use their donations," Associate Director for Residence Life Jennifer Wamelink said. "I think it's a great opportunity and an easy way for students to give back."
Barrels will be put in the residence halls for food, clothing and smaller items around the end of this week and students are encouraged to leave larger items such as furniture near the dumpsters outside, where they will be picked up, KU Surplus Coordinator Sam Pepple said. The agencies that collect these items are Just Food, Planet Aid and the Sustainability Action Network. Every year Pepple emails the
list of University-approved nonprofit organizations, and those with the capability to handle the large number of donations join.

donation year yet, with 18 shipping boxes of clothing donated and a 48-foot tractor-trailer full of furniture picked
up by the Sustainability Action Network.
"We like this because it's so much better than throwing it out. We save money by not having to pay for so many dumpsters and we like the concept that items are not going to the landfill," Pepple said.
Generally, if a room is messy after move-out or if there is abandoned property left, the students who lived in it could be subject to fines. However, Wamelink said because of the opportunity to donate unwanted items, they have not seen a problem with students leaving property behind.
"I think the opportunity to donate and give back to
the community is more of a motivator than a fine," she said. Overall, the program has had a positive response from students and has created an easy way for students to donate items that they don't want to drag home while also helping the Lawrence community.
"Finals week is a rough time for a freshman here at the University. They've got finals, and parties and they're all excited about going home," Pepple said. "To capture their attention is pretty rough. We have been very, very happy with the response we have had from the students."

This sharing and connection among different communities in Russia has helped create awareness of various

The group flew back home on Monday morning, and will write reflections of their experience for the program. A member of the Peer-to-Peer

"There wasn't a large amount of student who work over 20 hours," she said. "The other twist to the law is that work study hours do not count towards that. The policy does not inhibit those. So, I don't think we're going to see a significant impact."

SCOTUS hears arguments, will rule on same-sex marriage
LIKE SODOM YOU PARADE SIN WOE TO YOU WHO BRING EVIL UPON YOURSELVES ISAIAH 3:9 15 YEARS
Joe Capley-Alfano, center, and his husband, Frank Capley-Alfano, who've been together 15 years and married seven, hold an American flag in front of the Supreme Court in Washington. Tuesday. The Supreme Court is set to hear historic arguments in cases that could make same-sex marriage the law of the land. The justices are meeting to offer the first public indication of where they stand in the dispute over whether states can continue defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman, or whether the Constitution gives gay and lesbian couples the right to marry.
MARK SHERMAN Associated Press
CLIFF DWEN/ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Pivotal Justice Anthony Kennedy, whose vote could decide the same-sex marriage issue for the nation, did not tip his hand Tuesday in historic arguments at the Supreme Court. But Kennedy's record on the issue could give encouragement to gay and lesbian couples.
As advocates and protesters demonstrated outside, the author of the court's three prior gay rights rulings talked about the touchstones of dignity and concern for children in same-sex households that drove his favorable earlier opinions.
But he also worried about changing the definition of marriage from the union of a man and a woman, a meaning that he said has existed for "millennia-plus time."
"It's very difficult for the court to say 'We know better' after barely a decade of experience with same-sex marriage in the United States, Kennedy told Mary Bonauto, a lawyer representing same-sex couples.
The 78-year-old justice's likely role as a key, perhaps decisive vote was reinforced during arguments that lasted 2.5 hours in a rapt courtroom and appeared to divide the court's liberal and conservative justices over whether the Constitution gives same-sex couples the right to marry. Those couples can do so now in 36 states and the District of Columbia, and the court is weighing whether gay and lesbian unions should be allowed in all 50 states.
"Same-sex couples say, of course," We understand the nobility and the sacredness of marriage. We know we can't procreate, but we want the other attributes of it in order to show that we, too, have a dignity that can be fulfilled," Kennedy said in an exchange with lawyer John Bursch, who was defending the state marriage bans
Later, Kennedy also seemed concerned about adopted children in same-sex households if only one partner is considered a parent. "Under your view, it would be very difficult for same-sex couples to adopt those children," Kennedy said.
Tuesday's arguments offered the first public indication of where the justices stand in the dispute over whether states can continue defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman, or whether the Constitution gives gay and lesbian couples the right to marry. In the court's last look
at same-sex marriage in 2013, the justices struck down part of the federal anti-gay marriage law. Federal courts with few exceptions have relied orr Kennedy's opinion in that case to invalidate gay marriage bans in state after state.
The court divided 5-4 in that case, with the liberals joining Kennedy in the majority. Their questions on Tuesday suggested they would vote to extend same-sex marriage nationwide, while conservative justices' questions and comments were much more keptical.
Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor both said marriage was a fundamental right and a state would need a truly compelling reason to deny it to a class of people. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said heterosexual couples would retain the same marriage benefits they currently have, whether or not same-sex couples also could marry.
Bursch argued repeatedly that states could prohibit same-sex unions because marriage always has been about biological bonds between parents and their children.
Justice Elena Kagan said some people have difficulty with that argument, finding it "hard to see how permitting samesex marriage discourages people from being bonded with their biological children."
If the definition of marriage is changed, Bursch said, "then adults could think, rightly, that this relationship is more about adults and not about the kids."
"One state would basically set the policy for the entire nation."
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS Supreme Court Justice
The actual cases before the court involve same-sex couples in which both partners want recognition as adoptive parents. In one case, Detroit-area nurses April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse are seeking joint adoption of their four children, and Bursch was quick to say he was not talking about them.
"We all agree that they are bonded to their kids and have their best interest at heart," he said.
Most of the questions from conservative justices appeared skeptical of gay-marriage arguments.
Chief Justice Roberts said gay couples seeking to marry are not seeking to join the institution of marriage. "You're seeking to change what the institution is," he said to Bonauto.
Roberts also said people would be more accepting of change achieved through the democratic process, rather than imposed by courts. Only 11 states have granted marriage rights to same-sex couples through the ballot or the legislature. Court rulings are responsible for all the others.
Yet the chief justice also questioned the states' argument.
"If Sue loves Joe and Tom loves Joe, Sue can marry him and Tom can't. Why isn't that a straightforward question of sexual discrimination?" he asked.
Justice Samuel Alito suggested that basing marriage on lasting bonds and emotional commitment — instead of providing stable homes for children — might open the right to marry to siblings who live together, close friends who are not romantically or sexually involved and groups of more than two people. "What would be the logic of denying them the same right?" Alito asked.
Justice Antonin Scalia said he worried that a court decision in favor of same-sex marriage would force ministers to stop officiating at weddings altogether if they refused to perform same-sex weddings. Bonauto and some of Scalia's colleagues tried to persuade him that ministers have a right to refuse any couple for religious reasons.
not whether there should be same-sex marriage "but who should decide the point," embracing the states' argument.
Scalia also said the issue is
Justice Clarence Thomas asked no questions, as is his custom.
In the last part of the session, devoted to whether states have to recognize same-sex marriages from elsewhere, both Kennedy and Roberts directed skeptical questions to a lawyer for same-sex couples, Douglas Hallward-Driemei.
Why should one state "have to yield" in recognizing a marriage from another state? Kennedy asked.
The session was interrupted once by a protester who yelled that supporters of gay marriage "will burn in hell." He was removed by security.
And Roberts suggested that states' rights would be undermined if residents of states that forbid same-sex unions could get married elsewhere, then return home and demand recognition.
"One state would basically set the policy for the entire nation," he said.
The Supreme Court decision is expected in late June.

Cable is unnecessary and waste of money
Cecilia Cho
@ceciliacho92
I used to be an avid fan of cable. Growing up, I couldn't have imagined life without cable television. But in an age where on-demand services like Netflix and Hulu are increasing in popularity, once I went off to college, cable wasn't essential to me.
At the first couple of apartments I lived in, cable was provided by the complex, free of charge. But even with the availability I hardly ever watched TV. If there were ever a big game, I would go over to a friend's house (one who had a much bigger TV) or go out and watch it at a bar or restaurant. There are people who love to catch their favorite shows the moment they premiere, or there are people, like me, who can wait a few days, or weeks, to watch the episode. When moving into the apartment I currently live in, cable was not provided which made me consider the factors above. I knew I could "cut the cord" on cable and still be perfectly fine.
According to Huffington Post, a report released by Leichtman Research Group found "the 13 largest pay-TV providers ... shed about 150,000 video subscribers in the most recent quarter" of 2014. The article also reports more than 7 million homes are opting out of cable and switching to services dedicated to on-demand streaming
This number will continue to rise, especially as cable costs rise with them.
The price of cable was an unnecessary cost to me and was another bill I did not want to deal with. The Huffington Post article adds, "The average cable TV bill, not including fees, promotions or taxes, has increased by a whopping 97 percent over the past 14 years." The article continues to state that studies find cable TV bills could reach up to $200 per month in the next five years.
Choosing to get rid of cable was not a hard decision, but for those who need to watch everything right when it comes out, it may be a more difficult option. I have still managed to stay up to date with all of my favorite shows by using sites that stream episodes online in HD. If I want to watch a live game, I
"THE PRICE OF CABLE WAS AN UNNECESSARY COST TO ME AND WAS ANOTHER BILL I DID NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH."
can find websites that stream those online too — though, admittedly, the quality suffers a bit in this case. Finding ways to stay up to date with shows prior to their release on-on-demand streaming services can take a bit of effort, but it's an efficient way to save you hundreds of dollars in the long run.

discourage eliminating cable service entirely. Although it may be smart to get rid of movie channels in your cable package to lower your monthly bill, getting rid of your provider completely will put you at a loss when it comes to show choices.
"CABLE TELEVISION SHOULD NOT BE THROWN TO THE SIDE BECAUSE OF ON-DEMAND SERVICES."
some serious downfalls to not having cable. According to USA Today, around 7.6 million U.S. households have decided to ditch their cable provider. As someone who has cable while at school but not at home, I can say with confidence that I love having cable. It gives people the freedom to flip through endless numbers of channels until falling upon something they'd like to watch.
W ith many people choosing to "cut the cord," I'm warning that there are
For sports fans out there,there is nothing better than watching the game
Although some are choosing to replace their cable with Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime subscriptions, I would
live on the big screen. Being able to watch the game without worrying about the Internet going out is a huge plus to having cable. Although some sports channels have a form of on-demand streaming, it is not comparable to watching the game live in your living room with a group of buddies. Sports fans won't have to be afraid of the game buffering in the middle of an important play.
In addition, many shows cannot be found anywhere other than cable television. Although on-demand services give access to a wide variety of shows, they don't have every option that cable television can provide. That means if you want to watch your favorite show, you may have to subscribe to the season on iTunes or Amazon, which can be quite expensive. For example, if you decided to purchase Grey's Anatomy season 11 on iTunes, it would be around $40 — and that is just for one show. If you subscribe to several different shows, that can really add up.
One of the main advantages on-demand services boast about is being commercial-free. But, in the case of Hulu, viewers still have to watch commercials during their favorite shows.
My favorite part of having cable is the freedom to flip through channels and fall upon a show I had forgotten about or used to love. I would never randomly think to watch MTV's "Rob & Big," however, when I'm flipping through the channels and come across this show. I can't help but watch. Cable television should not be thrown to the side because of on-demand services. It provides assets to its viewers which websites like Netflix and Hulu simply cannot.

Immigrant in downtown Los Angeles, Calif., during a march for amnesty on May 1, 2006.
Human beings are the most important unit of civil society. Without people, we lack civilization; social organization, and our economy. Honing in on the economy, humans are the foundation on which the entire science of economics is built. After all, economics is defined as the science of how individuals allocate scarce resources to satisfy unlimited wants. If there is one thing that every economist can agree on, it is the importance of human life
JONATHAN MCINTOSH/WIKI COMMONS
So why does the federal government view humans who come from another country with such disfavor?
The attitude toward immigrants does not depend on who holds power in the United States government. Though President Obama may have slightly changed his tune recently, in 2012 the Obama Administration oversaw more deportations than all deportations taking place between 1892 and 1997 combined, making his administration one of the harshest against undocumented immigrants in modern history.
With such oppression, why immigrate undocumented at all? The answer is simple: People move to this country
because of the opportunity to improve their lives. To illustrate this, all that is needed is a simple comparison between the United States and the country from which the largest number of undocumented immigrants originate: Mexico. The poverty line in the United States is twice the median income in Mexico. In other words, what we consider poor is two times richer than an everyday citizen of Mexico. If this does not illustrate the amount of privilege that we have in the United States, then I do not know what does.
Immigration is not only a moral issue, but also an economic one. Free trade (in the form of movement of goods services and capital) is considered beneficial by nearly every economist and the same is true for the free movement of labor. New arrivals become new workers who bring new ideas and innovate. Human capital is one of the most important resources to a country, and immigrants are one of the largest contributors.
Great Recession, indicating that many Americans were unwilling to take those jobs. Without immigrants, the food on our plates would be much more expensive, or perhaps not even exist.
There is a lot of talk from politicians on both the left and right about "securing the border." I propose a completely opposite approach: opening the border to unrestricted immigration. Some may be concerned about terrorist infiltration as a result of such a policy, but it would take a lot more than a fence to stop a hell-bent terrorist. Unless we are prepared to build a concrete wall a mile high around the entire continental United States, such an argument is
In fact, immigrants are incredibly vital to the US economy and have made up over half of all farm workers since the 1990s. When the state of Georgia passed a law in 2011 restricting immigrant workers, farmers found themselves 40 percent short of employees, bringing many farms to the brink of bankruptcy. In addition, this labor shortage took place in the midst of the
futile.
As far as I see it, opening the border to unrestricted immigration makes complete sense, both morally and economically. Why should we deny someone the opportunity to improve his or her life? Why should we force every consumer to face higher prices or a sluggish economy? Why should we restrict the ability of people to move about freely? If our nation strives for economic growth and truly stands for opportunity and liberty, immigrants who cross over should be embraced. To deny these immigrants is to deny prosperity, and to deny prosperity is to be irrational.

SCOTUS meets to hear marriage equality arguments
Katherine Hartley

@kat_hart9
The Supreme Court assembled yesterday to argue over the constitutionality of gay marriage, making for a historic day in the United States.
The arguments centered on whether the decision to authorize or ban gay marriage should be left to voters in individual states, or decided on by the judicial system. Basically, the Supreme Court was trying to answer two seemingly simple questions:
1. Does the U.S.
Constitution's 14th
Amendment require states to
license a marriage between
two people of the same sex?
2. Does the U.S.
Constitution's 14th
Amendment require states
to recognize the marriage
However, things got more complex with discussion. The court heard two-and-a-half hours of arguments about the two questions.
between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed elsewhere?
Mary Bonauto from Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders led the arguments in favor of marriage equality, and was joined by a powerful ally; the federal government. Her argument was followed by Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr., who explained the Obama administration's case that "[t]he bans cannot be reconciled with the fundamental constitutional guarantee of 'equal protection of the laws.'"
Next, John Bursch,
Michigan's former solicitor
general, argued in defense of
marriage bans. Finally, lawyer
Doug Gallward-Dreimeier
argued in defense of same-sex
couples on the recognition
question, followed by Joseph
Whalen from the Tennessee
Attorney General's Office who
defended the state recognition
bans.
marriage equality cited reasons such as federalism, the democratic process and biology, while the other site argued that marriage bans are unconstitutional.

Elvis Presley's planes to remain at Graceland
ADRIAN SAINZ
Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — It looks like Elvis Presley's airplanes are staying at Graceland after all.
Graceland released a statement Sunday saying the Lisa Marie and the Hound Dog II, two custom-designed airplanes once owned by Presley, will remain permanently at the Memphis tourist attraction centered on the life and career of the late singer.
The announcement ends confusion about the future of the planes, once used by the King for travel to performances after he bought them in the 1970s.
The larger plane, a Convair 880 named after Presley's daughter Lisa Marie, is like a customized flying limousine, complete with a large bed, a stereo system, conference room and gold-plated bathroom fixtures. It was renovated after Presley bought it from Delta Air Lines. Presley took his first flight on it in November 1975.
When Presley died on Aug. 16, 1977, Presley's pilot flew the Lisa Marie to California to pick up Presley's ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, to bring her back to Memphis.
The smaller jet, a JetStar named the Hound Dog II, was also used by Presley.
The planes were sold after
OKC Partnership and Graceland agreed to park the planes at Graceland in the mid-1980s, and tours of their opulent interiors became popular with visitors. Their agreement called for OKC Partnership to receive a cut of ticket sales in return for keeping the planes at Graceland.
Presley's death, and they were eventually purchased by a company called OKC Partnership.
But the fate of the planes became cloudy last year.
In an April 7, 2014, letter to OKC Partnership, Elvis Presley Enterprises said it was exercising its option to end the agreement and asked OKC
"to make arrangements for the removal of the airplanes and the restoration of the site on or shortly after April 26, 2015."
Fans responded with critical postings on Priscilla Presley's Facebook page. She answered fans by asking them to "please calm down."
Earlier this month, Shelby County's land use board approved a proposal by OKC Partnership to move the planes to a lot not far from Graceland. The plan called for the planes to be installed as an outdoor display and museum for tourists to visit. The plan was approved Tuesday by the Memphis City Council.
It seemed like the planes were destined to move after the
council vote. But Graceland's statement on Sunday appeared to end such plans.
"Graceland is pleased that an agreement has been reached for Elvis' two airplanes, the Lisa Marie and Hound Dog II to remain at Elvis Presley's Graceland in Memphis permanently," the statement said.
Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, said on Twitter that Graceland now owns the planes and they will remain at Graceland "4 ever."
"We own them and have fun plans 4 them as well," she said on Twitter. She did not elaborate further.
OKC Partnership declined immediate comment Sunday.

UK premier defends royals' right to choose hospital
Associated Press
LONDON With Britain's general election fast approaching, almost anything can become political — even Prince William and his wife Kate's choice of private medical care for the upcoming birth of their second child.
Prime Minister David
Cameron on Sunday defended the royal couple's choice of private treatment over public care offered by the National Health Service.
Asked on TV if the royal couple's decision was disappointing, Cameron said he supports peoples' right to choose treatment options. He did praise the NHS, which is a source of national pride for
many Britons.
"The NHS is superb and I've seen that in my own life in so many different ways," he said. "But I believe in choice. I believe in people being able to do what they want to do." He said he is praying for a safe delivery of the royal baby.
Britain has a hybrid system: Those with the financial resources to pay for private medical care have the option of seeking treatment under the NHS, which is often free
The NHS, founded in 1948, has become a political issue during the hard fought
campaign, with Cameron's opponents saying he wouldn't adequately fund it in the coming years if voters return him to 10 Downing Street on May 7.

of charge, or through private doctors and clinics.
William and Kate are planning to have their second child at the private Lindo The
Palace officials have said the baby is due in late April. News reporters, cameramen and some royal fans have already gathered outside the Lindo Wing.

BETHANY MOSHER/ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Fifteen video games that have engrossed gamers for untold hours were named finalists Tuesday for the new World Video Game Hall of Fame.
The list includes arcade trailblazers Pong and Space Invaders, smartphone favorites Angry Birds and Minecraft and an array of others for console and computer.
They are: Doom, FIFA soccer, the Legend of Zelda, the Oregon Trail, Pac-Man, Pokemon, the Sims, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros., Tetris and World of Warcraft.
Only a handful will make up the hall of fame's inaugural class, to be chosen by an international selection committee of journalists, scholars and other video game experts.
The induction ceremony is scheduled for June 4 inside The Strong museum in Rochester, which also houses the National Toy Hall of Fame.
"The 15 finalists for the World Video Game Hall of
Fame span decades, gaming platforms and geographies," said Jon-Paul Dyson, director of The Strong's International Center for the History of Electronic Games. "Whether it's the groundbreaking game Pong or a more recent viral sensation like Minecraft, all of these games have helped shape the way that people across the globe play and relate to one another."
To make it into the hall of fame, games must have icon status, prove to be more than a passing fad and leave a mark on other games or forms of entertainment, pop culture or society in general.
The Strong said it received thousands of nominations since February, when it announced creation of the video game hall to recognize the impact of electronic games through the years. Anyone can nominate a game online.
The Strong's electronic games center has more than 55,000 video games and related artifacts in its collection, along with personal papers and corporate records that document the history of video games.

Actor Adam Sander smiles during a news conference for "Men, Women, and Children" at the Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto on Sept. 6, 2014. A group of American Indian actors have walked off the set of an Adam Sandler movie production following complaints over stereotypes and offensive names
New Adam Sandler movie sparks debate over American Indian images
RUSSELL CONTRERAS Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — When a group of American Indian actors walked off the set of an Adam Sandler movie this week, their decision generated praise and scorn on social media.
But everyone agreed on one thing: Despite growing awareness, outdated Native American stereotypes in Hollywood remain. And more Native Americans are voicing their opinions.
This week, eight actors quit the production of the satirical Western "The Ridiculous Six" over complaints about offensive names and religious scenes. The actors said they couldn't participate in a movie depicting a Native American woman urinating while smoking a peace pipe.
California writer Megan Red Shirt-Shaw, founder of Natives in America, an online
"In the past, Native actors did speak out but they didn't have the technology to share their views widely," Red Shirt-Shaw said. "It's different now." On social media, activists used the hashtag #NotYourHollywoodIndian to denounce Sandler's project and to thank the actors for their "bravery."
publication for Native American youth, said the walkout generated praise from American Indian advocates because people were tired of the images and now have outlets to express their outrage.
Meanwhile, other Native Americans say more actors and writers are needed in media to battle hurtful images. They argued the actors should have stayed on set.
The Sandler film is set for a Netflix-only release, and the streaming service says it was designed to lampoon stereotypes popularized in Western movies.
A spokesman for Sandler's Manchester, New Hampshire-based production company, Happy Madison Productions, didn't immediately return a phone message.
In recent years, Native Americans have been more outspoken.
For example, in 2013, some Native Americans were critical of Johnny Depp's portrayal on Tonio in the Disney version adaptation of "The Lone Ranger." Depp spoke in broken English, chanted prayers and wore a stuffed crow on his head. However, after a campaign by the movie to improve its image with Native Americans, Depp was eventually embraced on the Navajo Nation and was later adopted into the Comanche Nation.
A year before, the band No Doubt was forced to apologize and pull the music video "Looking Hot" after lead singer Gwen Stefani was criticized for dancing around teepees
and wearing a series of American Indian-styled outfits.
Elise Marubbio, an American Indian Studies professor at Augsburg College, said those stereotypes are part of the nation's mythical West narrative and usually center on images of the Lakota, the last tribe defeated by U.S. government forces.
But often those Lakota characters of the Great Plains are portrayed living in Monument Valley on the Navajo Nation of the American Southwest, Marubbio said.
Goldie Tom, a female actor who walked off the production, said she knew the movie wasn't going to be historically accurate, but she thought it would be tasteful.
"I don't regret my decision to be in the movie," Tom said. "But after this experience, I'm reminded that we still have work to do."

Face of the Streak: Jeff Withey or Wayne Simien?
Evan Riggs
@EvanRiggs15
WAYNE SIMIEN
The Kansas men's basketball team has had a lot of good post players in the Bill Self era. However, Wayne Simien, the first big man Self had, was his best one and should advance to the Final Four.
"Wayne Simien is the best college basketball player I've ever coached," Self said at the annual Kansas basketball awards banquet earlier this month.
Despite an injury-filled career, Simien still managed to put up big numbers offensively and on the glass. He finished his Kansas career ranked No. 12 in scoring (1,593 points), No. 7 in rebounds (884) and No. 4 in double-doubles (38).
In Simien's two seasons under Self, he averaged 19 points, 10 rebounds and one assist per game. In Self's first season, Kansas did not win the Big 12 championship, but that can be attributed to a group of upperclassmen adjusting to a new coach.
Simien had one of the best seasons ever for a Kansas
10
Simien
post his senior year. He averaged 20 points and 11 rebounds per game.His points and rebounds ranked first in the Big 12,as did his total rebounds (287).He did all of this while shooting 55 percent from the floor, second in the Big 12.
"Wayne's senior year was probably the best year an individual has had since we've been here," Self said in a press release in 2010.
Naturally, with the fantastic numbers Simien posted during his senior season, many awards followed: Consensus first team All-American,All-Big 12 First team,Big 12 Player of the Year,five-time Big 12 Player of the Week, Wooden and Naismith Player of the Year
finalist and the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award winner his final year, which recognized him as the nation's top senior basketball player.
The All-American forward from Leavenworth was difficult to stop offensively because of his versatility. He scored in as many ways as you could expect from a post player, which resulted in him shooting 57 percent for his career, sixth-best in Big 12 history. He could out-muscle guys down low, hit a mid-range jump shot and had a great post game.
Simien shot very well from the free-throw line, which, for a big man attempting eight free-throws a game, is incredibly impressive. He was a career 78 percent free throw shooter. In his final two seasons, he shot 81 percent, fourth- and fifth-best in the Big 12 in those seasons.
Statistically, no big man in the Self-era stacks up to what Simien did. If Self says that Simien is the best college basketball player he's ever coached, it seems impossible for him not to advance to the Final Four of this bracket.

JEFF WITHEY
Jeff Withey kept the bench warm for Cole Aldrich and the Morris twins during the beginning of his collegiate career at Kansas. The seven-footer averaged just over six minutes per game during the 2010-11 season. He started one game that season, when coach Bill Self was trying to teach the Morrises a lesson. But then, the twins declared for the NBA.
Cue #WitheyBlockParty.
PETER RUSHARD
11/11/11 was a day to remember for Withey. It was the best game of his college career up until that point. He scored at least 10 points for the first time at Kansas and set a new personal best in blocks with four. This was only the beginning.
Withey broke out during the 2011-12 season. He started each contest. He notched more blocks than points on five occasions, and he registered six double-doubles. He also paced the Big 12 in blocks, recording 140.
He led the Big 12 in blocks that season with 146, more than doubling Kansas State's Jordan Henriquez (64) who was second in the conference.
His senior season, he
exploded out of his shell even more. On Nov. 26, 2012, Withey recorded the second triple-double in Kansas basketball history. Withey added 10 more double-doubles to his resume, and scored a tying career-high 25 points against St. Louis. Withey was also perfect from behind the arc as well, making his only three-point attempt on Senior Night.
Withey
By the time Withey's career at Kansas was over, he had rewritten the entire record book. He broke every single record (that he could), relating to blocks.
Withey's 311 career blocks blew Greg Ostertag, Aldrich and Nick Collison out of the water. Most blocked shots during conference play during his career? Withey set that record after outblocking Collison by one.
Most blocked shots in a season? Withey holds the No. 1 spot, with 146 from his senior season. Withey also holds the No. 2 spot, with 140 from his junior season. He has the one and two spots for highest blocked shot average per season, as well as the most blocked shots during conference play per season.
Withey recorded 12 blocked shots in a game to set the record for most blocked shots in a game, and also had seven of the top eight performances in that category.
Most blocks by a senior? Jeff Withey. Most blocks by a junior? Jeff Withey. Most blocked shots in a conference game? Jeff Withey. Most blocked shots in a half? Jeff Withey. Withey's 11 school records are the most by an individual. Yes. Withey has even more records than Wilt Chamberlain or Danny Manning.

Former Jayhawks sparking Wizards' postseason success
COMMENTARY
Ben Felderstein
@Ben_Felderstein
Former Jayhawks Paul Pierce and Drew Gooden have been playing valuable minutes for the Washington Wizards in the playoffs this season. Both players are veterans of the league and the majority of their playing days are behind them.
Pierce is a future NBA Hall of Famer while Gooden spent most of his career as a role player. The Wizards are coming off of a four-game sweep against the Toronto Raptors in the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
Pierce has been a contributing factor for the Wizards both on and off the court. He was recently quoted challenging teammates Bradley Beal and John Wall to take their games to the next level. The two young stars look to Pierce as a leader
and a role model. Pierce's words seemed effective as the team went on to sweep the series.
"I talk to them a lot about mental preparation and consistency," Pierce said. "I keep telling Wall and Beal, 'You've got to make up your mind. Do you want to be good, or do you want to be great? Because if you want to be great, you gotta do it every single night, not just when you feel like it."
Averaging 28.5 minutes per game during the series, Pierce posted double-digit scoring numbers in every game while averaging 15.5 points per contest in the first round.
Coming off the bench. Gooden played 20.5 minutes and posted 9 points and 6.8 rebounds per contest as well.
Pierce hasn't won an NBA title since the Celtics took home the Larry O'Brien Trophy in 2008. Pierce was a focal point of the Celtic's big three in 2008
and one of their go-to scorers during the season.
Pierce has been forced to accept a smaller role this season for the Wizards. He must act as a mentor to the younger players.
"The Truth," as Pierce is often referred to, still has one of the best pump fakes and step-back moves in the NBA, which makes him a valuable asset to any team looking to make the playoffs.
Pierce and Gooden are valuable assets to the Washington Wizards' playoff run. With the injury to Kevin Love and the struggles of the Chicago Bulls, the Eastern Conference is as wide open as it has been all season. If Wall and Beal continue to listen to Pierce, the Wizards may be able to make a name for themselves this postseason.

Kansas hosts Arkansas-Pine Bluff for mid-week matchup
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
Kansas baseball will take on the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions tonight for a single-game series at Hoglund Ballpark.
This matchup will be the first ever meeting between the Jayhawks (19-25) and the Golden Lions (22-16). Although the Golden Lions boast a better record on the season, the Jayhawks rank 99 spots ahead of their opponent in the NCAA's RPI rankings.
The Jayhawks will take the mid-week nonconference contest as an opportunity to give freshman Brandon Johnson starting experience on the mound. The righthander out of Las Vegas has made two starts this season out of his eight total appearances and has held opponent batters to just a .194 batting average.
"Our pitching has made progress in the last few weeks and different guys are making progress," coach Ritch Price said, "It's been a tough year for those freshmen. They're
grinding and getting better, coach [Ryan] Graves is working with them every day and obviously for us to continue to get better the last month of the season that has to take place."
The Jayhawks traveled to Morgantown, W. Va., last weekend and came away with two wins to take the series behind great pitching, especially from junior pitcher Ben Krauth. The pitcher earned league recognition on Monday for his performance against the Mountaineers in which he only allowed one run and three hits, the least amount of runs allowed by the Jayhawks this year.
That development has been apparent as the season comes to an end. The Jayhawks are coming off of their second series win in Big 12 play.
"It was huge, there's no doubt about it." Price said. "It was a great performance by our guys. [West Virginia's] pitching was really good, but we kept grinding, and you've got to give a lot of credit to Ben Krauth."
While the Jayhawks seem to have momentum after winning a league series, the Golden Lions are riding momentum of their own.
The Golden Lions are on a three-game winning streak after taking three of the four games from conference foe Grambling State. In their wins over this past weekend, the Golden Lions outscored their opponent 22-10.
An opposing player for Johnson and the rest of the Jayhawk bullpen to look out for is junior Andre Davis. The Golden Lions' pitcher/first baseman/outfielder is in the top five of multiple Southwestern Athletic Conference hitting statistics. Davis ranks third in the conference with a .378 batting average while also ranking highly in on-base percentage, hits and RBIs.
This will be the second to last mid-week series for the Jayhawks this season with only a two-game series with Northwestern remaining on May 5-6.

Despite violating the same University policies against sexual harassment, student violators were given different punishments. Some were expelled, some were suspended and some were put on probation. Others were given warnings, told to take alcohol education classes or write reflection papers.
The punishments were included in copies of the 32 letters sent by the University to students who violated the sexual harassment policy between May 2012 and December 2014.
The University released copies of the letters to the Kansan after the newspaper hired a lawyer and requested the documents under the Kansas Open Records Act. However, the University redacted the letters heavily and would not provide information that could show whether the punishments were applied consistently. University lawyers said releasing more details would invade students' privacy.
In the letters, the University typically cited two different policy violations by the student violators: the sexual harassment policy and article 22(A) of the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. The letters describe article 22(A) as a violation against persons, which includes threatening the physical health, welfare and safety of another person, including acts of sexual assault.
However, in the full version of the student code that can be found on the University's website, sub-section (A) of article 22 doesn't exist. The rule cited in the letters closely matches article 19(A). University officials including Vice Provost Tammara Durham, Assistant Vice Provost Jane Tuttle and KU News Service Director Erinn Barcomb-Peterson declined to provide clarification on the policy.
The University redacted the specific sub-violation within the sexual harassment policy. The policy lists eight degrees of sexual harassment, from unwelcome efforts to develop a romantic or sexual relationship to sexual violence.
Also missing were details such as the gender of violators and the location or times of incidents, which is information the Kansan has asked for repeatedly.
In February, the University posted a list online of the punishments in the 32 cases, in response to a KORA request the paper filed.
The letters provide some additional information on those cases.
What isn't clear from the documents is why there is a difference in punishments for the same policy violations. Because the University redacted details of the cases, it appears these cases
have different punishments for the same violations.
Max Kautsch, the Kansan's lawyer, said because the University did not disclose other case facts, it's unclear if the violations and sanctions are fair in all cases.
The University may not have been obligated by law to disclose any more records than were in fact disclosed," Kautsch said. "Although those disclosures included reference to the student code sections that were allegedly violated in each case, they did not include the facts or allegations that led to the sanctions that were ultimately imposed. As such, it's very difficult to determine whether or not sanctions were imposed consistently, especially in instances where one student who appears to have committed the same violation as another was sanctioned differently."
The punishments for the 32 violators included eight expulsions, seven suspensions and 13 probations. Another two students were given educational sanctions and two were issued warnings.
Along with overall punishments, some student violators were given additional sanctions.
Ten of the violators were banned from housing and nine had to complete some type of alcohol course as part of the punishments levied by the University. Ten had to take a course with either the Emily Taylor Center or the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access on sexual violence, healthy relationships and/or consent.
Differences also were evident among students who received the same general level of punishment. Of the eight students expelled, two were eligible for readmission to the University after a specified time period or when the victim leaves campus. The other six were not eligible for readmission, but there is no indication why within the non-redacted portions of the records.
The Kansan requested the records as part of its ongoing efforts to file Kansas Open Records Act requests to shed light on the process the University uses to adjudicate sexual assaults.
"Release of these documents would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and would discourage future victims and witnesses from reporting sexual assaults and cooperating with investigations," the letter from University lawyer Mike Leitch said.
In a letter with the release of the documents, the University said providing more information would compromise the identity of the students involved.
When asked for additional clarifications, Barcomb-Peterson said the letter represents the University's final response on the matter.

Westboro Baptist Church counter-protesters stand outside the Union on Wednesday. Even though Westboro was a no-show, the counter protest still took place.
Westboro ditches Brown Bag Drag Show protest

Performers from Kansas City sang and danced at the show. The singers and dancers were men dressed as women or women dressed as men.
A drag show held by the University's Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity in the Kansas Union Ballroom on Wednesday was almost disrupted by an anti-gay protest from the Westboro Baptist Church. The church, however, did not show up as scheduled.
"Everyone showing up is either showing solidarity for the LGBT community or
identifies with the LGBT community," said Roze Brooks, a graduate assistant who works with the Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity.
Before the show began, however, students gathered in front of the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center to counter-protest a scheduled Westboro Baptist Church picket of the event. The students held signs advocating for LGBT rights and criticizing the Westboro Baptist Church.

Film screening delves into rape culture on college campuses
RILEY MORTENSEN
@RileyMortensen
Nearly 350 students, faculty and members of the public, including the University's football team, attended a showing of "The Hunting Ground" on Tuesday night in the Woodruff Auditorium. The movie gave viewers a close-up look at rape on college campuses and the lack of action from administration.
The film, which was screened at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, opens with the notion of college as a place filled with opportunities and engagement, but quickly zeros in on the fact that one in five women will be sexually assaulted during their college careers and many incidents go unreported.
If you remember nothing else from tonight, I want you to remember at the University of Kansas, you report sexual assault to the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, IOA," said Jane Tuttle, assistant vice provost for students, after the screening.
Throughout the hour-and 45-minute documentary, you see dozens of women and a few men share their stories of being sexually assaulted and reporting to their campuses only to find authorities blame victims and do little in the way of sanctioning.
"My rape was bad, but the way I was treated was worse,"
said one survivor in the film.
one survivor in the film Universities like Stanford, Harvard, MIT, Berkeley, Florida State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are a few of the schools the film singles out.
Fraternities and university sports teams were also closely examined as being major contributors, but rarely punished by administrators.
"My rape was bad,but the way I was treated was worse."
RAPE SURVIVOR "The Hunting Ground"
According to the film, less than 4 percent of college students are athletes, but student athletes commit 19 percent of sexual assaults on campus.
Forensic Specialist David Lisak, who spoke at the University earlier this month, also appears in the film, as does former Syracuse football star Don McPherson, who spoke at the University in 2011 during National Hazing Prevention Week.
"The Hunting Ground" also pointed out the growing list of colleges being investigated by the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights for violations when
handling sexual assault cases under the gender equity law of Title IX. Currently, 94 colleges are being investigated, including the University of Kansas and Kansas State University.
Following the screening, a short discussion unfolded where audience members could ask questions of administrators from the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, Student Affairs, Student Housing. The University's Public Safety Office and the Lawrence Police Department.
One audience member asked about the number of sexual assaults reported last year at the University compared to the number of expulsions. IOA Executive Director Jane McQueeny said over the last two academic years there have been eight expulsions and in the last year IOA had about 120 reports of sexual violence, which is a broad category including stalking, dating violence, domestic violence, sexual battery and rape. McQueeny also said some of those reports have not been recorded yet, so there is potential for the number to increase.
"It just shows that there's a lot of work that needs to be done nationwide for sure, so it was negative, but I think it's a very good start that needs to be put out everywhere," Kate Kasper, a junior from
Belle Plaine, Minn., said.
Belle Plaine, Minn., said. Kasper, who came to watch the film with a few of her friends, said she was disappointed with the number of expulsions compared to reports at the University.
"That's better statistics than other schools, but it's still bad," Kasper said, "especially knowing the punishments that they've given out, like a paper, that's not OK. Not acceptable."
Although the film's overall tone focused on the lack of action by universities, throughout the movie viewers also follow the stories of activists like Annie Clark and Andrea Pino, who were both raped at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill several years apart, but found each other and formed a strong friendship. The women began to travel across the country helping victims from other universities file Title IX complaints.
The film ended with the message, "Students, parents, faculty, alumni — together we can stop this epidemic."
Tuttle encouraged University students to report sexual assault to IOA.
"They will take your story, they will listen to you, because at the University of Kansas, we do believe you when you tell us that you were sexually assaulted," Tuttle said.

San Diego man recovering after sea lion yanked him overboard

Associated Press
The animal, weighing hundreds of pounds, smashed the 62-year-old San Diego accountant against the boat's side and sent his legs flying into the air like a rag doll's before it dragged him some 20 feet underwater, Carlin said Wednesday, more than three weeks into his recovery after the April 5 incident.
Dan Carlin holds a recently caught yellowtail at the moment a sea lion leaped up to grab the fish — and him — at Mission Bay in San Diego. Carlin, of San Diego, is still recovering more than three weeks later.
SAN DIEGO — Dan Carlin's wife told him to smile for a picture on their 29-foot boat as he held up one of the yellowtail fish they had caught that day. Then a sea lion leaped 7 feet out of the water, bit into his hand and yanked him overboard.
Underwater, the sea lion whipped Carlin side to side.
WESTBORO FROM PAGE 14
Church's picket schedule listed a picket of the event from 11:15 a.m. to noon, but the group never showed.
"After 15 seconds, I thought I was going to die," Carlin said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I continued to struggle, but thought this is the way I was going to die. It was unbelievable to me."
The group's listing for the event read, "WBC will not sit by quietly as this abomination of desolation parades through the streets and across campuses of this nation. Instead, [it] will shine a light to show everyone your transgressions."
"The best part [of the counter-protest] is being a visible community that supports love," Carrasco Cooper said.

of how far you've made it already."
Other members added pieces of advice for the new Senate.
Brooks said the Westboro Baptist Church had picketed the drag show in the past. Marsha Carrasco Cooper, assistant director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, said the counter-protest turnout showed great support for the LGBT community within the University and Lawrence.
Then, as quickly as the attack happened, Carlin was released. He swam toward the surface as the sea lion bit his foot, punting a bone.
After its failure to show, the group tweeted a parody drag show it recorded and posted to YouTube, saying, "To all the queens who missed our picket signs at the KU Brown Bag Drag, we made you this."
"Remember how key collaboration is moving forward." Wagner said. "Remember that sometimes there's bigger things than party lines. But seriously, there's a lot to be said for working together and I...hope you remember that." Finally, the former chief of staff also had words of encouragement for the new Senate.
"Do what you need to do to keep that success going, remember you need to continue and build upon the foundation you've built for yourselves today," Cota said. "Only with that will there be true success for our university."
The video mocks the LGBT community, targeting transgender people.
"Tonight marks the first night of the 2015-16 Student Senate year," Pringle said. "In one year, you'll be sitting in this room, but it will be very different. No matter what, you'll be different from who you are today, but don't let that scare you; let that excite you. All of you have made a commitment to be a part of the change and you have an opportunity here, so take it."
As the 2015-16 Student Body President Jessie Pringle took the podium for the first time of her term, she addressed an important goal for her and student senators.
He managed to make his way back to his boat that was in a bay off San Diego. He and his wife moved it closer to land while his hand gushed blood and he struggled to breathe because of his battered chest. At one point, Carlin said, he lost his vision.
Carlin hopes his hand will have healed enough so he can go back out fishing next week. An experienced surfer, scuba diver and fisherman, Carlin
Carlin spent two days in the hospital. The gash on his hand required 20 stitches.
said he and his wife, Trish Carlin, always took precautions to properly dispose of any guts or carcasses to ensure they did not go in the water.
"So many times, you see videos of cute seals, sea lions, but I'm sharing what happened to me because I want parents to realize these are wild aggressive animals that can take you down," he said. "They should be given a wide berth. At least a small child should do that, but also just about anybody should."
Still, his experience shows just how dangerous sea lions can be, despite the fact that people often do not fear them, Carlin said.

1920s film on Native Americans gets release date
INDIAN TIPE HIDE. IN THE MIDDLE OF A WESTERN CITY, NORTHWEST OF TULSA, IN THE SOUTHWEST OF BELLA-MONTANA, IN THE OUTFIELD OF NEWTON, IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA.
OKLAHOMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Members of an all Comanche and Kiowa cast are on the set of "The Daughter of Dawn," in the Wichita Mountains near Lawton, Okla., in 1920. The long-lost silent film admired by historians as a rare visual account of Native American customs is being released after a private detective in North Carolina stumbled across a damaged copy. The copy, discovered more than a decade ago, has been restored and was screened in Texas this week, ahead of its commercial release later this year.
DAVID WARREN
Associated Press
DALLAS — A long-lost silent film admired by historians as a rare visual account of Native American customs is being released after a private detective in North Carolina stumbled across a damaged copy.
"The Daughter of Dawn" first screened in Los Angeles in 1920 — features a large cast of Comanche and Kiowa people and shows scenes of buffalo hunting and ceremonial dances obscured by time. The copy, discovered more than a decade ago, has been restored and was screened in Texas this week, ahead of its commercial release later this year.
The delicate restoration work took years, and an orchestral score was completed in 2012. A year later the Library of Congress added the movie to its National Film Registry, describing the work as "a fascinating example of the daringly unexpected topics and scope showcased by the best regional, independent filmmaking during the silent era."
"We were just so stunned that it existed," said Jeff Moore, a project director for the Oklahoma Historical Society, which purchased reels of the film from the detective in 2007.
The year after the movie was first screened, a fire destroyed the Dallas' warehouse where the small Texas Film Co., which produced "The. Daughter of Dawn," stored most of its work.
Somehow, a copy later ended up in the care of a North Carolina resident, who offered five nitrate celluloid reels to the private detective as payment in an unrelated matter. Milestone Film owner Dennis Doros said.
The detective then sold the
reels of the movie — shot in the Wichita Mountains in southwestern Oklahoma — to the Oklahoma Historical Society for more than $5,000 before Milestone was recruited as the distributor. The historical society retains ownership of the original nitrate film, which is being stored at the Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study in Los Angeles.
"The village scenes, the hunting scenes all look very accurate. It's a little bit Hollywood-ed up. ... But the fact that they used native actors was groundbreaking, really quite astonishing."
MICHAEL GRAUER
Panhandle-Plains Historical
Museum employee
"It's a really compelling story for film restoration," Doros said. "There's still hope for lost films. How many times do you get to premiere a film 95 years after its production?"
An initial screening of the 87-minute, black-and-white film was held this week at an Amarillo, Texas, library.
"The village scenes, the hunting scenes all look very accurate," Michael Grauer with the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum told the Amarillo Globe-News. "It's a little bit Hollywood-ed up. ... But the fact that they used native actors was groundbreaking, really quite astonishing."
Two of the approximately 300 Comanche and Kiowa people in the film, which portrays a fictional love story that also serves as a record of Native-American
traditions, are children of legendary Comanche chief Quanah Parker, whose exploits were widely recounted on the frontier.
Author S.C. Gwynne, whose book "Empire of the Summer Moon" accounted the rise and fall of the Comanche, said during his research he came across only one film germane to the tribe, a two-reeler western from 1911 called "The Bank Robbery" in which Parker had a role.
RELEASE
The film will be released on DVD and Blu-ray, and made available through online outlets.
"I would think that a film featuring only Native Americans would possibly be unique," he said. "Who at that time only made a film featuring Native Americans? That, to me, is
something of great rarity."
Moore said the Oklahoma Historical Society had known about the film because years ago it had obtained the works of a photographer who was on the movie set, but it was thought the film was lost.
"This is so visually interesting and it is very much an Oklahoma story because you have two of the premier tribes in the state, and then you have the horse culture," he said. "It's so indicative of
the southern plains."
Bryan Vizzini, an associate professor of history at West Texas A&M University, said "The Daughter of Dawn" was a striking departure from the racial stereotypes found in films from that time, such as D.W. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation."
"And here's this small independent film company that gets it right," Vizzini said. "It's a very un-Hollywood kind of experience."

Alcohol education methods are ineffective
Anissa Fritz
@anissafritzz
Incoming students have to complete certain tasks before the University will recognize them as students. One of these tasks is to have each individual complete a course in AlcoholEdu — but alcohol education doesn't end there.
Throughout the year, the University holds optional and mandatory seminars for students regarding the dangers of excessive alcohol use, as well as conducting virtual lessons. Unfortunately, the way alcohol education is presented is not efficient.
Throughout -my time in school I have attended three required sessions, along with completing the AlcoholEdu online course. These sessions discussed the dangers of using alcohol irresponsibly through different speakers, PowerPoints and several videos of college students talking about the pressure they feel to drink alcohol. But behind these presentations, the information is essentially all the same.
I've seen pictures of red Solo Cups on bar graphs representing how much is "too much." I've been exposed to charts that show how X amount of liquor will affect a female and how the same amount affects a male. Throwing numbers and statistics on a screen is not an efficient way to teach college students about alcohol use.
On the off chance students remember how many ounces of liquor they have consumed, it is ridiculous to expect them to take the time
to find the total to decide if they have had enough to drink. Typically, where there is alcohol, there will be varying distractions. Because of this, adding up how much one has consumed can easily be forgotten. Math can be difficult sober, but calculating while drunk is even more challenging.
The International Center for Alcohol Policies published an article on the effectiveness of alcohol education. It states, "Alcohol education programs need to be realistic, corresponding to the needs of those whom they are intended to target, with measurable goals and evaluation criteria built into the program design."
Instead of pounding blood alcohol content figures into our brains, we should have a more personal approach. Having speakers closer to the age of the audience discuss their personal experiences with alcohol could give a realistic approach that would also allow students to connect with the presenter.
Teaching students life skills, such as firm decision-making and how to communicate effectively when they do or do not want to do something, will not only aid in safe alcohol consumption, but also in many other areas of their adult lives.
Displaying numbers and graphs in appealing designs is not the best way to educate college students on how to drink safely. Instead, teaching effective decision-making and incorporating a more personal approach for the audience would pave the way for alcohol education to no longer be seen as a chore but as an enlightening experience.

Graduates need to clean up their social media

According to Jobvite, a 2014 survey found that 93 percent of employers "use or plan to use" social media a tool to review potential employees.
Graduation is among us, which means a portion of our student population will have to face the real world very soon. Some of us have jobs lined up, while others are still in the process of applying. One thing our graduating seniors must be aware of is how they conduct themselves on social media.
In actuality, this is not solely limited to those who are graduating. Anyone applying for a job, or wanting a new job someday, should take this advice: Watch what appears on your social media accounts.
On Tuesday, an article popped up about a woman losing her new daycare job hours before her first day, as reported by Mirror. She had posted on her Facebook, "I start my new job today, but I absolutely hate working at day care." She also stated that she "hates kids" even though she has one of her own. After catching wind of the post, her boss fired her before she had the chance to come in.
It's stories like these that make me shake my head.
This is the problem with social media. It makes us think we are invincible and that we won't be held accountable for what goes on our accounts. Even if you land a job, you could easily lose it the moment an unflattering post or picture appears on your account.
Jobvite, a recruiting platform, discusses in its 2014 social recruiting survey how 93 percent of employers "use or plan to use" social
media as a tool to review potential employees.In addition, 55 percent of hiring managers "have reconsidered a candidate based on their social profile,"which is a 13 percent increase from the year before.
Did the woman ever think her employer would see this post? No. But that doesn't mean employers can't, and in her case, they did.
I've seen a range of obvious "don'ts" on social media: tagged pictures of people passed out drunk, drug references and excessive use of profanity. The survey revealed the worst aspect of social media finds have to do with illegal drug references. An overwhelming 83 percent of recruiters found this to be negative, which should be a
given. Other negative factors had to do with sexual posts (70 percent), profanity (63 percent), guns (51 percent) and alcohol (44 percent).
In addition, spelling and grammar can have a lot to do with whether or not you'll get a prospective job. Sixty-six percent of recruiters stated that poor spelling and grammar is undesirable, so make sure you know what and how you're saying something before you post.
we reveal a lot of information about ourselves that can come back to bite us, and sometimes what goes on our accounts is out of our
control. Your friends can easily tag you in unflattering photos, or at least upload ones of you on their profiles. Securing a job doesn't mean you are guaranteed to keep that job. Making sure your social media is free of obscenities is one of the easiest things you can do to make yourself appear professional and right for the job. Have common sense when posting on your social media sites; all it takes is one bad post to ruin your chance at a better future.

KU Unity hip-hop group to hold clinic
KANSAS SANIPLER
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
KU Unity is a University hip-hop group that focuses on spreading the art across Kansas and the Midwest. Tonight, it hosts its "Hip-Hop Clinic" at Dance Hues Studio, 1025 N. 3rd St. #109, from 8-9:30 p.m.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Tonight, KU Unity is hosting its "Hip-Hop Clinic," a workshop in which the crew will teach visitors one of the routines. The event is from 8-9:30 p.m. at Dance Hues Studio, and costs $5 to attend. The studio is located at 1025 N. 3rd St. #109 in Lawrence.
"We're teaching a routine for anyone in the Lawrence community that wants to come, and it's also to get the style and the culture out there," Justis said.
Unity is also going to Lawrence High School on Friday to perform and provide a workshop for students during the day.
Unity is working to spread hip-hop at the University and across the Midwest with its highly skilled, fast-paced dancing.
Originally created by Eve Bradley in 1995, KU Unity is a hip-hop dance group at the University that focuses on uniting the elements of hip-hop and spreading the art of hip-hop.
"The biggest thing that we stand for would be [that] we're founded and created to bring all the hip-hop elements together and get different diverse people and styles together and to spread it in the Midwest and at KU," said Mackenzie Justis, a senior from Shawnee and president of KU Unity.
On April 11, Unity performed at its first competition in years. The group was accepted into at the ninth annual Dance XXXplosion competition in Waynesville, Mo., where Unity performed a mixture of different types of hip-hop dance. Unity did not win the competition, but that didn't affect their spirits.
Although the group lost, Sara Nguyen, a senior from Garden City and the vice president of
"We were the first Kansas team to go, and what we gained from it and what we showed to the audience was way more than winning a trophy. We let the dancing speak for itself," Nguyen said.
KU Unity, said they were still happy with the experience.
"We were the only team from Kansas, so we just represented Kansas and KU, and they absolutely loved it, and we got a lot of compliments at the end," she said. They said we brought something else to the competition."
Justis said they surprised everyone, as the only Kansas team.
"My view is to continue to keep the legacy of the team, to keep it going and [to] really make sure that everyone is benefiting from the team and their experience. That's really important to me," she said.
justis and Nguyen said a challenge that Unity has been working to solve is improving their choreography and keeping it interesting for the audience throughout the whole performance.
Nguyen said the added stress of work and school is another challenge in itself.
"I really try to fit the choreography to fit the audience," justis said, "so they don't get bored during the part of a dance."
"When you're in school and working as well, and also spreading what hip-hop is all about, it gets a little crazy," she said. "It's all about balance."
Although originally joining to continue pursuing her passion for dance, Justis said her inspiration behind being a part of Unity has changed since becoming president of the group.
She also said she loves being part of a team.
"There's not one favorite part. We wouldn't be a team without each other," she said. "Every single part — the communication between everyone, the performances, the responses we get — I don't have a favorite part."
Nguyen said being a part of Unity is a unique experience.
"I love performing, I can't describe it. But when I'm performing it on stage, its surreal. There's no rules in hip-hop, which makes you feel so much more free," she said.
"As for the team, I want them to gain leadership roles and experiences, and just go out and have those experience inspire their future and their career.
I hope what they gain here will really further them into whatever field they go into."
Nguyen's favorite aspect of
being part of the group is the lessons she's gained from being a part of it.
"If it weren't for Unity, I wouldn't know how to deal with 11 different female personalities; I wouldn't know how to communicate with them," Nguyen said. "I would never be self-disciplined with my mind. If it weren't for Unity, we wouldn't be the people we are today."
Throughout all of the performances, competitions and late night practice sessions, Justis said, above all, one thing is for certain regarding KU Unity:
"We're really passionate about it. We are responsible for everything we do," she said. "Not just us, but our team. We couldn't do it without our team. No one can do it alone."

The fusion of 'savory' and supportive is the primary intent of the Kansas Food Truck Festival this Saturday.
For the second year, various vendors will park in the Warehouse Arts District for attendees to sample different delicacies all while benefitting the local food bank Just Food.
"We were just overwhelmed by the success of last year," said Elizabeth Keever, chief resource officer of Just Food. She said she expected around 700 people to attend, but 2,500 showed up.
The Torched Goodness crème brûlée cart will be one of 15 food trucks at Saturday's Food Truck Festival from 5-10 p.m. in the Warehouse Arts District near Eighth and Pennsylvania streets.

Just Food will also have a "No Food" truck on site to represent the people in Lawrence who won't have a meal that evening. Those who attend can leave donations there.
Besides the weather festival organizers are expecting, timing of the event is key. In 2014, Just Food served 4.9 percent more individuals in June and July of last year than in the months of April and May, according to numbers from Jeremy Farmer, chief executive officer of the food bank.
"Our numbers in June and July are much higher than the rest of the year, and it's a time where people forget there's hunger in our community," Keever said. "It's a really good time for us to make the community aware of hunger and let people know that we

Bud Light's 'No' campaign has rape culture undertones
TRENDING
Katherine Hartley
In an attempt to promote adventure and inspire consumers to try new experiences, Bud Light decorated its newest bottles with the tagline. "The perfect beer for removing 'no'
Katherine Hartley
@kat hart9
from your vocabulary for the night."
Before Bud Light's Super Bowl campaign in February, the company announced it was planning to release "a variety of messages on 12-ounce bottles to inspire consumers to try new experiences."
To say the company missed the mark with this one could be an understatement, as they encourage people who have been drinking to avoid the word "no."
The campaign originally started two years ago with the intent to encourage
drinkers to be "up for whatever" when drinking their beer, because "you never know where it'll end up." They promoted the hash tag #UpForWhatever on Twitter and Instagram, where it has been used by thousands of followers.
The marketing message on the bottle began to gain attention after it was posted to Reddit. Since then, users have been quick to point out the message could be taken the wrong way and have taken to Twitter, bashing the #UpForWhatever hashtag.
The negative flood of publicity is because, some critics say, the message could be interpreted as contributing to rape culture. The Consumerist picked up the story quickly and said, "Given the role that alcohol plays in many things that would have been a 'no' without a night of drinking [...] it's probably not the best idea for a multinational, multi-billion-dollar business like Bud Light's parent company AB InBev to publicly acknowledge that its product can lead users down a path to stupid consequences."
Bud Light has since responded, apologizing for the mistake and pulling the controversial tagline from the campaign. Bud Light Anheuser-Busch Vice President Alexander Lambrecht replied to Adweek's tweet with a statement, "It's clear that this message missed the mark, and we regret it. We would never condone disrespectful or irresponsible behavior." A full statement was then released to Buzzfeed.

Daredevil Nik Wallenda walks giant spinning Ferris wheel
The seventh-generation member of the famous Flying Wallendas said this week that the idea for Wednesday's walk came during a family trip to Orlando last year.
ORLANDO, Fla. — The performances of daredevil tightrope walker Nik Wallenda have taken him between Chicago skyscrapers, over Niagara Falls and across a gorge near the Grand Canyon. He can now add a spinning Ferris wheel to the list.
While walking along International Drive, a tourist-rich area miles from
"My shoes are soaking wet, actually, on the bottom of them," he said.

KYLE HIGHTOWER Associated Press
Wallenda successfully completed a walk across the rim of the 400-foot Orlando Eye observation wheel Wednesday morning in Florida.
The 36-year-old started his walk shortly after 8 a.m.atop the city's newest attraction, which is set to open to the public early next month.
Wallenda rode to the top of the wheel and then navigated up ladders and around parts of the structure to begin his four-minute trek along its six-inch rim. He stopped at one point between capsules to wave to the assembled crowd of about 100 below.
Fronto Eye
After his walk, Wallenda took a moment to capture a selfie with his phone before riding down to the ground atop one of the wheel's capsules.
The weather held up for the walk, though the skies were cloudy. Wallenda estimated the wind was about 20 mph but "not too overwhelming." He also said the structure was "really wet" when he stepped out on the wheel's surface.

"We're inspiring people to do greater things, to step out of their comfort zones," Wallenda said afterward. "What an amazing feeling it was up there."
Wednesday's walk could establish a new Guinness Book record for the greatest walk at the top of an observation wheel. But because Guinness officials weren't present, it won't be an official record until it is certified by the organization.
Wednesday's feat came after one in November, in which Wallenda made two Chicago skyscraper crossings on high wires. Other previous tightrope walks took him to the brink of Niagara Falls in 2012 and across a Grand Canyon-area gorge in 2013.
Wallenda is the great-grandson of Karl Wallenda, who fell to his death during a tightrope stunt in Puerto Rico at 73.
A married father of three children, Wallenda doesn't take his events lightly. He said that he prays, thinks about death, and practices rigorously while calculating risks.

Daredevil performer Nik Wallenda walks untethered along the rim of the Orlando Eye, the city's new, 400-foot observation wheel on Wednesday in Orlando, Fla. The walk is being done in advance of next month's public opening of the attraction.

Daredevil performer Nik Wallenda waves during a news conference after he walked untreated along the rim of the Orlando Eye, the city's new, 400-foot observation wheel on Wednesday in Orlando. Fla. Wallenda has previously walked between two Chicago skyscrapers on high wires, across Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon.
JOHN RAUX/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Disney World known for its shopping and restaurants, he noticed the Eye in the initial stages of construction. But it wasn't until months later that he was approached about staging a performance there. Company idrive360, which runs the entertainment complex where the Orlando Eye is located, paid Wallenda for the walk, his spokesman, Brett Gold said. He wouldn't give the amount.
"This is something that I've wanted to do for quite some time. Not necessarily in Orlando originally, but I'm glad that it panned out
nere in my home state," said Wallenda, a Florida native and Sarasota resident.
Walenda's next planned feat will be in August, when he is scheduled to walk a tightrope at least 10 stories above the Milwaukee Mile racetrack on the grounds of the Wisconsin State Fair. He said that the walk would be longest of his career.
And he's thinking even bigger.
"I'm working on everything from the pyramids in Egypt, to a big walk in New York City, to an active volcano," Wallenda said.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who should advance in #FaceoftheStreak?
Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein
TYSHAWN TAYLOR
When you think of legendary players for legendary programs,you don't think of one-and-done guys.You think about players who were a part of a program for a while.
You think about a player who grew up and matured in his four years playing college basketball. You think about a player who got better and improved his game as the years went on.
For Kansas, you think of Tyshawn Taylor.
Taylor started for coach Bill Self for four years, from 2008- 2012. From Taylor's sophomore year on, he averaged 28 minutes per game. He totaled 1,580 points during his career, which ranks 37th in Big 12 history.
Taylor also ranks No.1 on the Big 12 leaderboards in games played with 146 and 11th in minutes played with 3,111.The only possible way to achieve
these milestones is to stay in school and play for four years.
While at Kansas, Taylor was on four Big 12 regular season championship teams, including a run to the national championship game during his senior season in 2012. Taylor dramatically improved during his senior year as he went on to average 16.6 points and 4.8 assists per game.
Although Taylor wasn't always the steadiest hand and often made Self and the rest of the Jayhawk faithful a little nervous when holding the ball, he still had a 1.5 assist-turnover ratio throughout his career at Kansas. Andrew Wiggins may not have played point guard, but his ratio was a much less impressive .68.
Taylor received All-Big 12 rookie honors as he averaged 9.7 points and three assists in his first year in Lawrence. He received All-Big 12 first team honors in 2012 as well as being named a third-team All-American.
Taylor poured his heart and soul into the program at Kansas, working and bleeding in the Fieldhouse for four years. The same simply cannot be said for a player who leaves after their freshman year.
Wiggins may have put together one of, if not the most, impressive freshman seasons Kansas has ever seen, but that's
Wiggins took 185 more shots than Taylor did during his freshman year but scored only 257 more points than Taylor. Taylor shot a much more impressive 56.1 percent from two-point range his freshman year compared to Wiggins' 49.3 percent. He also shot 20 percentage points higher from behind the three-point line than Wiggins did.
What is most important in this debate is postseason success. Arguably, Wiggins will most be remembered for his four-point performance against Stanford in Kansas' Round of 32 loss in 2014.
But Taylor's last game in a Jayhawk uniform went a bit differently. Taylor recorded 19 points, three assists and one steal in Kansas' national championship loss. This performance was coming off the heels of a 10-point, nine-assist performance in Kansas' Final Four victory against Ohio State.
To me, the question is simple: Twenty-nine points and 12 assists in the two games that matter most, or a four-point performance in a loss during the first weekend of the tournament?
The answer should be even easier: Tyshawn Taylor.

In 35 games in crimson and blue, Wiggins averaged 17.1 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Wiggins came into the college scene as the No.1 recruit in the nation and didn't disappoint, putting up numbers that earned him the No.1 selection in the 2014 NBA draft, as well.

Only in his final season with the Jayhawks did Taylor reach 16.6 points per game. In a minute per game more than Wiggins, Taylor still
Despite having a few rough games scoring the ball, including a four-point performance in the Round of 32 against Stanford, Wiggins was the most consistent scoring threat for the Jayhawks.
EAT COM
Mostly remembered in Kansas' loss against West Virginia, Wiggins made himself be respected with 41 points on 12-for-18 shooting
Rarely did Wiggins' play hurt the team, which can't be said for Taylor. Having many games with struggles taking over the ball, Taylor earned a reputation for making poor decisions with the ball. Taylor turned the ball over nearly four times per game while Wiggins only turned it over two times in the same amount of minutes.
What truly separates Wiggins from Taylor is his ability to defend both on the perimeter and in the post. On a team with Joel Embiid, Wiggins was still the best lockdown defender on the team, averaging a steal and a block per game.
During Taylor's years as a Jayhawk, he was on a team of veterans and players who had experience, while Wiggins was the centerpiece
of a young team with three starting freshmen and one senior, Tarik Black, receiving minutes. Wiggins was able to do more than Taylor with less experience.
Following another freshman stud in Ben McLemore, Wiggins put on a dunking clinic and showed athleticism that Kansas had never seen before.
"WHAT TRULY SEPARATES WIGGINS FROM TAYLOR IS HIS ABILITY TO DEFEND BOTH ON THE PERIMETER AND IN THE POST."
"From a raw, athletic ability standpoint, he can do some things that I've never had a player be able to do physically," coach Bill Self told ESPN.
In some cases, Wiggins took over games, such as his 41-point performance against West Virginia, but for the most part he was just flat-out better than everyone else on the floor, and that should be enough for him to move on to the Final Four.

Heeney will make an NFL team, prove his doubters wrong
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
Ben Heeney will be on an NFL team before the end of the week. Then he'll make a final 53-man NFL roster. Then he'll keep proving people wrong. Heeney, the former Kansas linebacker who has entered this week's NFL Draft, has no doubt about it.
"Even if I don't get drafted, I'm not worried about it,"
Heeney said, sitting in a sofa at the Anderson Family Football Complex. "I'll still make a team."
Heeney probably won't have to worry about it, though. The 6-foot, 231-pound linebacker is expected to go in the mid-rounds. Slept on and bogged down by many media outlets through the draft process, he's trying to defeat a handful of pre-meditated stereotypes.
Some say he's too slow, too
small. Others say he'll only make a team as a try-hard linebacker. Some have put him in the same graveyard that David Beaty is trying to dig the Kansas football program from and associate him with the three-win product Kansas put on the field last year. But after running a 4.59-second 40-yard dash and coming in at the top of the charts in the 3-cone drill and 60-yard shuttle at the NFL Combine, he's shown those
showing of what he brought to the field.
Heeney's size has probably been his largest pitfall, according to draft experts. Nolan Nawrocki, who writes a book previewing the NFL draft prospects every year, wrote of Heeney, "Smallish frame with very short arms and small hands. Struggles to wrap up and secure tackles in space."
"I never left anything on the field. It was a shot in the dark every Saturday we're going out there," Heeney said. "For me and guys like JaCorey (Shepherd) to go out and play with as much as heart as we did, knowing there was slim to no chance that we're going to win the game, week in and week out, it shows a lot about our character."
stereotypes to be more than what he'll bring to a team.
"There's people that really like me, and there's people that think I'm a terrible player," Heeney said. "When I went down to Tampa Bay and visited with Lovie Smith... the first thing he asked me when I walked into his office was, 'Do you think you need to gain or lose weight?' I said, 'I think I'm good where I'm at, I don't need to gain or lose.' He said, "That's a
But Heeney is showing that the team's final record line over his time at Kansas isn't a fair
perfect answer."

Commentary: 'Fight of the Century' marred by violent, corrupt pasts
G.J. MELIA
@gimelia
Manny Pacquiao
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Floyd Mayweather
JACKSON WILLIAMS
104-5-2.
That represents the joint record of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, who are among the best boxers in the world right now.
However, ahead of their much-anticipated matchup, the "good versus evil" narrative has started to form, when the fact of the matter is it couldn't be further from the truth.
Are Mayweather and Pacquiao two of the best pound-for-pound boxers the sport has ever seen? Probably.
Is this welterweight bout between the two most heralded boxes on the present earth "the fight of the century"? Probably.
Would it be reasonable to call either a good person? Don't kid yourself.
From the threatening of his children to his numerous episodes of violence towards women (2002, 2004, 2010, 2011)—I'm serious, look them up), it is already well known that Mayweather has a not-so-pleasant past. But what is not advertised enough is how Pacquiao is just as bad as Mayweather.
There is one simple reason for this: Mayweather lives in the United States, Pacquiao does not. The American media can, and does, cover Mayweather far more easily and often than Pacquiao.
As horrible and unpleasant as the majority of Mayweather's actions have been, if you're going to cheer for one of these abborrent individuals come Saturday, cheer for Mayweather. I'm sure you've all heard these next two cliches
an excessive number of times, but contrary to popular belief, Mayweather is the lesser of the two evils.
Since being elected to Philippine Congress four years ago, Pacquiao hardly attended half the congressional meetings in 2014, according to the Wall Street Journal. There's also a story from The Manila Times about him bribing Filipino citizens with money and insurance cards for votes door-to-door in 2013. When a congressman called him out for it, Pacquiao and his bodyguards proceeded to beat the man until they were eventually arrested.
In addition, he has spoken out against gay marriage, as well as stood against plans to make birth control and sex education more available to Filipina women.
Sure, the beatings Mayweather has compiled in his coveted assault resume may have ruined a few lives, but we have to look at this in a broader sense. Pacquiao's reach has the ability to affect everyone living in the Philippines. That's more than 100 million people.
Now, it's possible the sympathetic side of me needs to cut them some slack. Pacquiao dropped out of high school
and left home at 14 because his mother was unable to provide for the entire family. Mayweather's father spent five years in federal prison on a drug trafficking conviction. They both come from incredibly difficult backgrounds.
Furthermore, all moral desecration aside, I really do want to emphasize how truly stupendous these two hotheads are at what they do. They are ranked one-and-two in ESPN's pound-for-pound boxer rankings. Pacquiao has a record of 57-5-2 with 38 knockouts. Well more than half his wins have come by him leaving his opponent in the ring unconscious. He's also won eight major world titles in eight different weight divisions.
Mayweather has won 13 major world titles in only five weight divisions, but I say only very lightly. If any athlete wins even five world championships, it's about five more times than the average pro athlete. To win 13 is about three to four more times than the great pro athlete. And hey, get this: Floyd has fought almost 50 times in his professional career (1996-present) and he has never even lost. 47-0 with 26 wins coming from knockouts.
That's unbelievable.
When looking at the highlypublicized arguments for who is the "best ever" in a sport, the debate usually centers on past versus present players. Past mega-accomplished players versus less-successful freakish athletes.
In basketball you have the Michael Jordan and Lebron James debate, with a few other dominant names brought up every so often; your Shaq O'Neals, Kareem Abdul-Jabbars and Bill Russells, and so on. In football there's the Joe Montanas and Emmitt Smiths, with a Jerry Rice or Tom Brady intertwined in the conversation.
But there's one common trait shared among all the great: they're winners.
Saturday's fight may be boxing's last paramount production. Mayweather is set to retire sometime this year, and Pacquiao will do the same in 2016. But that's the one positive of their success. The one good thing these two have done is somehow keep afloat the snuttering world of boxing.
They're not just winning games, but championships. Combined, Mayweather and Pacquiao have won 104 fights and lost only five, with 21 major world titles. They will go down in the history books on the same line as Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali; George Foreman or Joe Frazier.
Following the end of the Mike Tyson era (2006), boxing needed a coverboy. Shortly thereafter, it got two: Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.

a 14-inning battle with the Longhorns only drop the game and later the series.
Just this past week, the Jayhawks came victorious against in-state rival Wichita State on April 21 before heading to West Virginia for a weekend series. The trend continued as the Jayhawks took the series by winning the first two games and nearly earning a sweep against the Mountaineers.
Before betting your life's savings on the Jayhawks' series against Baylor this coming weekend, know the trend isn't perfect. There has been a single instance this season where the Jayhawks did not replicate their weekday performance in conference play.
The Jayhawks beat Wichita State 13-12 on April 1 in an 11 inning thriller but then followed the win by getting swept by Oklahoma during the weekend. Coincidentally
enough, the series was similar to the weekday game except the Jayhawks were on the opposite side of the outcome. In two games against Oklahoma, the contest went into extra innings with the Sooners winning by a single run.
"They're getting better," Price said. "They're making progress and then we still have days where they go backwards in their performances."
On Wednesday the Jayhawks played their weekday game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and lost 6-5 despite a ninth inning home run by senior Connor McKay.
"We needed the play to set the tone for the weekend because it's a huge weekend coming up." Price said.
Price and his squad will hope to break the trend this weekend as they play a crucial conference series against the Baylor Bears beginning Friday, May 1 at Hoglund Ballpark.
Men's golf takes 8th at the Big 12 Championships
Edited by Callie Byrnes
OTHER CHAMPIONSHIP NOTABLES
Kansas golf coach Jamie Bermel said it best. "We were seeded eighth going into the tournament and we finished eighth."
That sums up the Jayhawks' championship hopes. The leaders for the Jayhawks at the Big 12 were freshman Daniel Hudson and sophomore Chase Hanna, as they have been all spring.
OTHER CHAMPIONSHIP NOTABLES Junior Connor Peck and redshirt freshman Jacques Wilson cared +4 for their final rounds. Wilson shot a
Hudson and Hanna both shot 73s, which gave them a total of +3 for their final rounds. Hudson captured two birdies in his final round putting him at +18 for the championship tying him for 24th. Hanna finished one stroke shy of Hudson at a +19 and tying for 30th.
+25 for the championship, tying for 36th, while Peck tallied up four birdies in his final round, tying for 40th and shooting +27. Junior Ben Welle led the Jayhawks throughout, finishing with the best core of the team at +17.
CHANCES AT REGIONALS
"I think we made a lot of progress this year and have everyone coming back next year who played in the Big 12 Championship," Bermel said. "As for regionals, we were ranked 67 and 68 in two different polls. With finishing eighth, I would have to think we may be on the outside looking in as the number is 68 and we may drop a few spots."
Bermel said he was not impressed with the performance in the Big 12 but he is very optimistic about a regional appearance based on their overall spring finishes. It would be the first regional they have made since 2007.

Kansas baseball falls in Arkansas-Pine Bluff game
WESLEY DOTSON
@WesleyDee23
In its first-ever meeting with the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions, the Kansas baseball team was defeated Wednesday night, 6-5.
Senior Connor McKay got the scoring started for the Jayhawks in the bottom of the first inning when a wild pitch by Arkansas-Pine Bluff starter Ciji Ramos allowed him to trot in from third base.
Freshman pitcher Brandon Johnson struggled with his command in the top of the second inning for the Jayhawks. He hit the first two batters he faced and walked third baseman Josh Cassidy to load the bases with no outs.
The next batter, Vladimir Gomez, smacked a single back up the middle that brought in two runners to give the Golden Lions a 2-1 lead.
Left-fielder Jerimiah Figueroa would then hit a double down the left-field line to tack on another run for the Golden Lions.
That double would end the night early for Johnson. He worked a relatively strong first inning, but finished with five earned runs, two hits and two walks in 1+ innings.
"He just struggled with his command," coach Ritch Price said after the loss. "He hit the first two guys to start the inning, and then he walked a guy to load the bases...they only got two hits, and they put
up five runs, so that's obviously a huge, crooked number."
The Jayhawks' offense struggled to find any type of way to produce runs after the bottom of the first, but that would begin to change in the bottom of the sixth inning. With the bases loaded, freshman Matt McLaughlin drew a walk, which forced in senior Dakota Smith.
Junior Steve Goldstein then hit a sacrifice fly that would score junior Michael Tinsley and make it 5-3, Golden Lions.
Ramos had solid control of his pitches after the wild pitch that allowed McKay to score, but was relieved of his duties after the walk from McLaughlin. He finished with five and

"The things that will help [athletes] compete the most

The Kansasasa baseball team faces a big matchup against Baylor this weekend. Last weekend, the Jayhawks jumped above the Bears to eighth in the Big 12.
Kansas baseball to battle Baylor in a critical weekend series
EVAN RIGGS
@EvanRiggs15
This weekend, the Jayhawks (19-25, 6-9) will host the Baylor Bears (17-27, 6-12) in a critical Big 12 series. After winning two of three matchups with the West Virginia Mountaineers last weekend, the Jayhawks have jumped the Bears and the Kansas State Wildcats in the conference standings, and are now eighth in the Big 12.
"We've got an opportunity to win some series before the Big 12 Tournament in Tulsa," coach Ritch Price said. "Once we get there, anything can happen."
The Bears have struggled to a 5-11 record in the month of April. The Jayhawks, on the other hand, have played
well in April en route to a 9-7 record.
Statistically, the Bears have one of the league's worst pitching staffs and offenses. Their two primary starters, Daniel Castano and Drew Tolson, have records of 2-5 and 3-6 respectively.
The Bears have just six home runs this season, which is ninth in the Big 12. The Jayhawks will not have to worry about their power, but the Bears possess a lot of speed on the base path that could cause problems.
This season, the Bears have stolen 57 bases, which is third in the Big 12. They have attempted 85 stolen bases, so they are capable of being thrown out, and the Jayhawks will need sophomore catcher Michael Tinsley to do just that.
Logan Brown is the Bears quickest player around the base path. He has attempted 24 stolen bases and has been successful 17 times, which is good for second in the Big 12.
On the contrary, the Jayhawks have one of the best offenses in the Big 12, and that bodies well for them going against Baylor's sub-par pitching staff. The Jayhawks have the fourth-highest batting average in the Big 12 at .280, and the seventh-ranked home run hitter in the Big 12 outfielder Dakota Smith, who has six home runs.
Tinsley has been the Jayhawks most consistent offensive weapon this season. He is batting .333 with three home runs and 34 RBIs.
Sophomore relief pitcher Stephen Villines has been fantastic for Kansas this season with a 3.89 era with 11 saves.
Big 12 at 5.74, but some of the pitchers are performing at a high level. Junior transfer Ben Krauth, who won Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the week earlier this week, is 6-3 with a 3.73 era this season. His six wins are tied for fifth best in the Big 12.
Pitchers Drew Morovick (4-3) and Sean Rackoski (2-2 have also been good options for the Jayhawks this season.
The Jayhawks pitching staff still has the worst ERA in the
The Jayhawks will look to continue to move up in the Big 12 standings at 6 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.

Weekday baseball games foreshadow weekend outcomes
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
The Jayhawks' 2015 baseball season has been an unpredictable one, to say the least. With a young pitching rotation that is still developing, combined with a talented, veteran batting lineup, it's impossible to tell which Kansas team will show up on a given night.
In April, the Jayhawks were swept by Oklahoma, which has an NCAA RPI of 85, and then proceeded to win the series against Oklahoma State, which has an RPI of 14, the following weekend.
Although the team has been unpredictable, there has been a trend since the beginning of Big 12 league play that revolves around the Jayhawks performance in weekday matchups.
Unlike college basketball and a majority of football teams, college baseball teams play non-conference opponents on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between playing conference foes on the weekends.
"We've been doing a pretty good job here on Tuesday and Wednesday nights the last few weeks," coach Ritch Price said. Since Big 12 play started on March 27, the Jayhawks matchups during the week
prior to their league games have been a quality predictor of how the team will perform on the weekend.
The Jayhawks' first conference series was against Texas Tech. The team managed to win their first Big 12 game of the year, but dropped the last two games and ultimately the series. The Tuesday before, Missouri State beat the Jayhawks on the road 15-9 and unknowingly started a trend.
On April 7-8, the Jayhawks swept New Mexico, a team who is currently projected to be a three-seed in the postseason field. That weekend, the Jayhawks were set to face then No. 9 Oklahoma State. After winning their weekday games, the Jayhawks pulled the upset and won the series against the favored Cowboys.
Just days after their series win against the Cowboys, the Jayhawks hosted Missouri State for a second game. The Jayhawks lost 3-0 in a heartbreaker where all three of the Bears' runs came from a single hit. Not only did the weekday game carry over its losing attribute to the weekend series against Texas, it also brought with it the heartbreak. In the first game of the series, the Jayhawks fought hard in

while adding 51 hits, 28 runs scored, 15 doubles and 40 RBIs. Stein said she was emotional to end her college career.
"I'm the person that cries when she's happy or when she's sad," Stein said. "I think it'll be a little bit of both."
Pille has been the Jayhawks' star pitcher through most of her four-year career. She leads the Jayhawks with a 2.84 ERA and has recorded 165 strikeouts while allowing 139 hits and 77 scores. Pille owns a 21-4 record this season.
Pille came to Lawrence from Royse City, Texas, and has recorded more than 130 strikeouts in every season she has been a Jayhawk.
"It's pretty crazy," Pille said. "I'm trying not to think too much about it. It still seems surreal. I can't believe four years can pass that quickly."
With an RPI rank of 18, the Jayhawks can still have the opportunity to host games of the NCAA Tournament Regionals at Arrocha Ballpark.

"The season went by so fast," Kayla said. "With my freshman teammates, we have that sisterhood, and we became really close."
However, even with a focus on teamwork and communicating, that doesn't mean the competitive spirit between the twins is lacking in any way.
The twins have always been competitive, especially with each other. While growing up, they loved playing one sport together: volleyball.
But that changed slightly when Chayla took a year off of the sport to get better at basketball, which created the first real difference in who they were as athletes.
were as athletes. "Chayla was very competitive on the basketball court, and I was on the volleyball court." Kayla said.
Despite playing completely different sports, the twins didn't lose their bond.
Chayla and Kayla still spend time together when their schedules don't conflict, not to mention, they live two doors apart from each other.
Both sisters go to each other's games as much as they can, even if that means one has to drive up from home over break. Two or more hours of driving means nothing to twins who share such a bond.
- " [It's] just like living at home together." Chayla said.
"It's not that far from home," Kayla said. [We'll] ride up with family just to support [each other]."
Whether it's shooting around or playing on the volleyball court, the Cheadle twins share a bond unlike most.
Kayla and Chayla's bond goes beyond that of a typical pair of sisters. Family is important to the Cheadle twins, and it's something that isn't taken lightly.
From Columbia to Lawrence, from volleyball to basketball, Kayla and Chayla are
INSEPARABLE

Softball to take Baylor on in final home game
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
After narrowly losing a weekend series to the No.4 Oklahoma Sooners, the Jayhawks (35-10, 5-7) will be back in action Friday against the No.14 Baylor Bears (34-12, 8-4) for the final home Big 12 conference series of the season.
Kansas lost its last conference series to the No. 4 Oklahoma Sooners two games to one. The Jayhawks upset the Sooners last Friday night on a two-run home run from freshman indefender Daniella Chavez in the eighth inning, but were unable to slow Oklahoma's powerful offense in Saturday and Sunday's games.
Junior infielder Chaley Brickey leads the Jayhawk offense with a .421 batting average and has contributed 61 hits, 44 runs scored, 53 RBIs and 13 home runs. Infielder Maddie Stein, who is among four seniors who will be celebrated this weekend, ranks second on the team with a .372 batting average, 51 hits, 28 runs scored, 15 doubles and 40 RBIs.
Chavez has been sensational for the Jayhawks during her freshman season, recording a .333 batting average, 43 hits, 23 runs scored, 11 home runs and 52 RBIs.
Pille leads the Jayhawks' pitching staff with a 2.84 ERA and has recorded 165 strikeouts, while allowing 139 hits and 77 scores. Freshman Bryn Houlton ranks second on the
pitching staff with a 3.15 ERA and has recorded 29 strikeouts while allowing 58 hits and 31 scores.
The No. 14 Baylor Bears boast an impressive 34-12 record this season and are ranked No. 2 in the Big 12 conference standings, just behind Oklahoma. This season, they boost impressive victories against No. 2 Oregon and No. 17 Arizona and are one of the few Big 12 teams to defeat No. 4 Oklahoma.
"We have to focus on
ourselves and what we need to do to be successful. If we do that and we don't get wrapped up into what they do, I think we'll be OK."
MEGAN SMITH Softball coach
Offensively, the Bears are led by freshman infielder Shelby Fridenberg, who ranks second on Baylor's lineup with a .392 batting average and has recorded 47 hits, 30 scores, 15 home runs and 39 RBIs.
The Bears boast some power near the bottom of their batting order, with redshirt junior Linsey Hays recording 39 hits, 17 scores, eight home runs and 37 RBIs on a .302 batting average.
"Baylor's bringing something a little bit different than what
Baylor's pitching staff is led by junior Heather Stearns, who carries a 2.47 ERA and has recorded 193 strikeouts, while allowing 126 hits and 60 scores. Redshirt freshman Sarah Beth Toben also plays an important role on Baylor's pitching staff with a 1.99 ERA and has recorded 16 strikeouts while allowing 32 hits and 13 scores.
Oklahoma had," Kansas coach Megan Smith said. "They got a lot of speed in their lineup, which we deal with every single time we play Baylor. It's a tough game because their speed can change a game."
"[To win these games], our mentality has to be the same as it was last weekend. We have to focus on ourselves and what we need to do to be successful. If we do that and we don't get wrapped up into what they do, I think we'll be OK," Smith said.
Before Saturday's game, the Jayhawks will celebrate the careers of seniors Chanin Naudin, Stein, Pille and Beth Wilson, who has spent two years in the program.
"When those three girls [Naudin, Stein, Pille] walked onto campus [in 2011], our program changed." Smith said. "All three of those players have all made huge impacts on this program.
"Those three are special players have turned our program around. What a strong group to come in and lead that charge," Smith added.

The coming weekend will mark the last time Kansas' four seniors will suit up for a home conference series. The Jayhawks (35-10, 5-7) will face off against the No. 14 Baylor Bears (34-12, 8-4) at 5 p.m. Friday for a three-game weekend series.
The four seniors on the Jayhawks' roster, infielders Maddie Stein and Chanin Naudin and pitchers Alicia Pille and Beth Wilson, expect emotions to run high when they are honored before Saturday's game against the Bears.
"I feel like I'm going to be thinking about all it took to almost get me there," Naudin said. "I feel like I'm going to try to not be emotional, but I'm probably going to be emotional because it's been a special four years."
Wilson, a senior pitcher from Canton, Ill., has only spent two years in the Kansas program after transferring from Heartland Community College in 2013.
this season, Naudin has contributed a .277 batting average while adding 39 hits, 31RBIs, 30 runs scored and seven home runs. Naudin said her family members from California, Arizona and Texas would attend the weekend series.
"I'm not really much of an emotional person, but I'm looking forward to just having all my family in town and just celebrating this day," Wilson said. "Hopefully I won't get emotional, but I know that the other seniors will."
Wilson has a 9.39 ERA this season and has recorded six
strikeouts while allowing 24 hits and 21 runs in limited appearances this season.
Stein has been a major contributor to the Jayhawk program during her four years as a Jayhawk. She came to Lawrence from Oklahoma City in 2011 and has developed into Kansas' all-time leader in RBIs with 149.
"The experience has been extremely memorable," Stein said. "I just can't say enough about how much I've loved playing at KU, and then this year has just been especially special because we have a brand new park, we've been ranked, so expectations are high for us as a team."
This season, Stein has contributed a .372 batting average

FAMILY FIRST
Twin athletes, Kayla and Chayla Cheadle, stick together
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmanthem2011
Born only 10 minutes apart, twins Chayla and Kayla Cheadle have a natural bond. The two are inseparable, which carried them together from Columbia Mo. to Kansas Now, as they look forward to their second year at the University, they hope to continue contributing to their respective teams next year.
Going back to high school, it seemed a split was possible and maybe even probable. Both twins received offers from multiple schools, including their hometown school in Columbia but staying together was too good to pass up.
The twins decided they wanted to go to school together, and Kansas was the perfect fit.
However, after completing one year at Kansas, the two weren’t satisfied just staying together and sticking to the status quo. They wanted more.
For Chayla, that means a bigger role going into her sophomore season on the basketball team. For Kayla, it’s the same situation, but with volleyball.
“I feel like I can take a leadership role into next season, with how young the team is going to be,” Chayla said.
Kayla, on the other hand, said she feels like the relationships she has with her volleyball teammates now can become even stronger by next season as she takes on more responsibility as a leader.
However, that doesn’t mean they didn’t contribute in year one.
On the women’s basketball team, Chayla played a significant role as a freshman. Her youth was the perfect complement to the senior class, which featured Chelsea Gardner, Natalie Knight and Asia Boyd. But moving forward, it will be Chayla’s responsibility to lead the program, not to complement it.
It’s not just new players in the program, either — there’s a new coach, too.
Brandon Schneider has taken over as the new head coach for women’s basketball as he looks to bring the program back to its winning ways. And as far as Chayla is concerned, the coach has her full support.
The one thing she still wants to see improved, though, is communication — communication between players and staff, and within the program.
And as is often the case with twins, what matters to one twin affects the other.
Sure enough, Kayla talked about building “sisterhood” when asked about what she and her team could improve. And conjoining from a player who struggled to find time on the court in Big 12 play, that was a pretty big statement to make.
