Developing an on-campus sexual assault response team and a center for prevention and education were among top recommendations presented by the Chancellor's Sexual Assault Task Force to the Chancellor and Provost on Friday afternoon.
The task force of 11 students, staff and faculty members has been reviewing the University's current processes, procedures and policies since September, when Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little created the group.
Gray-Little thanked the task force for the many hours of work and thought they put into the recommendations and said they will all be taken into consideration.
The recommendations are divided into four sections: policy and process improvement; prevention and practices; support and advocacy for student victims of crime; and evaluation of the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
"It's not something that we would solve next year or the year after and then it's not an issue," Gray-Little said.

The 43-page final report has an executive summary at the beginning that outlines eight recommendations under policy and process improvements, 11 recommendations under prevention practices, six recommendations under the support and advocacy for student victims of the crime and two recommendations under evaluation of Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.

From the editor's desk
AMIE JUST | @Amie_Just
You voted for your favorites, and the results are in. The University Daily Kansan's Top of the Hill is back.
Everyone who knows me knows I'm addicted to the Bill Self pasta at 23rd Street Brewery, Maddy's Mud ice cream from Sylas & Maddy's and the Classic burger from Dempsey's. In my spare time, I'm in Anschutz or Allen Fieldhouse.
We all have our favorite places, foods, beverages, stores, etc., and Top of the Hill showcases our collective favorites.
This year's voting was conducted online on the Kansan's website over several weeks in order to ensure fairness among the voting.
We're college students. We love food, cheap food, expensive food, whatever food we can get our hands on. Some of us love coffee. Some of us like slushies. Others prefer alcohol. Plenty of us have a sweet tooth. We like shopping, especially on Massachusetts Street. We love our campus.
The results reflect what you, the readers of the Kansan, value as your favorite. There's a reason why The Burger Stand and Sylas & Maddy's took home two awards each.
Throughout this section, you'll find the top three winners in 27 categories, ranging from the best food dish to the best specialty store. Various winners have blurbs stating why they won and interesting facts about them.
If you haven't been to any of the places that won Top of the Hill Awards, check them out. You might find a new favorite.

BEST LOCAL BAR: Sandbar
Sandbar
Why it won:
With its combination of tropical drinks and throwback music (with current hits mixed in), the Sandbar is the only bar of its kind in Lawrence. It offers a selection of drinks you can’t get anywhere else, including its most famous, the Shark Attack, which is described as "a limeade with a twist." Each tropical drink comes with a Mardi Gras necklace and a carnival toy.

BEST DISH: Truffle fries at The Burger Stand
Why it won:
Tossed in truffle butter and parmesan cheese, The Burger Stand's truffle fries are a Lawrence staple. They come served with a smorgasbord of dipping sauces if eating them plain isn't your fancy. If you're worried about the fries not pairing well with your burger or hot dog, rest easy. The truffle fries complement all of The Burger Stand's entrees.
REST BURGER: The Burger Stand
Why it won:
Offering seven types of burgers, ranging from the Classic to the Barnyard Bash, The Burger Stand has a savory burger for everyone. The Burger Stand offers Kobe beef upgrades, as well, for those who like a leaner meat. Unlike fast-food joints, each burger is cooked to order and served with fresh greens.
BEST ON-CAMPUS FOOD: Chick-fil-A
Why it won:
Chick-fil-A takes this category as the University's one-stop shop for down-home Southern cooking. Located in The Underground at Wescoe Hall, Chick-fil-A offers a simple, straightforward menu of Southern-style fried chicken strips, sandwiches, nuggets and more fried goodness.
Interesting facts:
S. Truett Cathy, a devout Southern Baptist, founded Chick-fil-A in Atlanta, Ga., in 1946 Chick-fil-A locations are not open Sundays, which is just fine with us since we don't have class Sundays.
Chick-fil-A was the first fast-food restaurant to adopt a trans-fat free cooking model. Rumor has it that a full Chick-fil-A location will open in Lawrence in the near future.
BEST BREAKFAST: The Roost
Why it won:
The Roost is a haven for brunch lovers. If you're in the mood for something savory and comforting, the biscuits and gravy taste like they're straight from grandma's kitchen. Something a little more on the adventurous side is the Smoked Salmon Benny — you won't be let down with its perfect combination of salty smoked salmon and sweet hollandaise sauce. The Rooster is one of its most popular dishes, offering diners the choice of French toast, pancakes or potato pancakes, two eggs and either bacon or sausage. Open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, with lunch starting at 11 a.m. The Roost is guaranteed to have something you can devour. And for those of you who like to accompany your meal with a drink, there are cocktails, bloody marys and wine also available.

Developing an on-campus sexual assault response team and a center for prevention and education were among top recommendations presented by the Chancellor's Sexual Assault Task Force to the Chancellor and Provost on Friday afternoon.
The task force of 11 students, staff and faculty members has been reviewing the University's current processes, procedures and policies since September, when Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little created the group.
Gray-Little thanked the task force for the many hours of work and thought they put into the recommendations and said they will all be taken into consideration.
"It's not something that we would solve next year or the year after and then it's not an issue," Gray-Little said.
The recommendations are divided into four sections: policy and process improvement; prevention and practices; support and advocacy for student victims of crime; and evaluation of the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
The 43-page final report has an executive summary at the beginning that outlines eight recommendations under policy and process improvements, 11 recommendations under prevention practices, six recommendations under the support and advocacy for student victims of the crime and two recommendations under evaluation of Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.

The task force of 11 students, staff and faculty members has been reviewing the University's current processes, procedures and policies since September, when Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little created the group.
Developing an on-campus sexual assault response team and a center for prevention and education were among top recommendations presented by the Chancellor's Sexual Assault Task Force to the Chancellor and Provost on Friday afternoon.
Gray-Little thanked the task force for the many hours of work and thought they put into the recommendations and said they will all be taken into consideration.
The recommendations are divided into four sections:policy and process improvement; prevention and practices; support and advocacy for student victims of crime; and evaluation of the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
"It's not something that we would solve next year or the year after and then it's not an issue," Gray-Little said.
The 43-page final report has an executive summary at the beginning that outlines eight recommendations under policy and process improvements, 11 recommendations under prevention practices, six recommendations under the support and advocacy for student victims of the crime and two recommendations under evaluation of Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.

Why it won:
Take a step back in time to when sodas came in glass bottles instead of aluminum cans and plastic bottles. That's what you'll find when you walk into Mass Street Soda, though there are few canned beverages. More than 1,300 types of beverages from orange creme sodas to Surge, are lined wall-to-wall. If a customer comes in and buys one soda every day, it will take them three or four years to try each one.

‘TAKE BACK THE NIGHT’
March closes Sexual Assault Awareness Month, gives voice to advocates
RILEY MORTENSEN/KANSAN

@RileyMortensen
On the last night of April students, staff, faculty and community members gathered to "Take Back the Night" and march in solidarity against sexual assault in an event hosted by the GaDuGi SafeCenter. The event was one of the cap off events to Sexual Assault Awareness and
Prevention Month.
The crowd of about 50 participants trekked from the Kansas Union to South Park around 7 p.m. last Thursday, chanting phrases like "Survivors unite, take back the night," and walking with a number of signs.
"I hope that this shows campus and community alike that there are people out there in our community
who care about this issue and care about survivors and we're going to keep this work going. We're not going anywhere," said Rachel Gadd-Nelson, GaDuGi's director of community engagement.
Once participants reached the park, tables of other advocate services like Headquarters Counseling Center along with GaDuGi were available for participants.
"I hope that this shows campus and community alike that there are people out there in our community who care about this issue and care about survivors..."
RACHEL GADD-NELSON
GaDuGi Director of
Community Engagement
The event continued with guest speakers who told their own stories, a song in honor of C.J. Brunn, a local activist who recently passed, and a speak out circle where survivors had the opportunity to talk about their experiences in a safe space among supporters.
Bailey Fee, a junior from Kansas City, said the whole evening was very moving and the speakers really inspired
her.
"Sometimes it's hard to tell the people you're closest to," Fee said. "Let alone this many strangers."
Fee said if there was one thing she could tell others about sexual assault it would be that it could happen to anyone, anyone could do it to you and you don't have to be quiet about it.

Overloaded business school sees enrollment trouble
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
As students continue to enroll for next year, some—particularly business majors—are finding it hard to take the classes they need to.
Georgiana Spear, associate director of Student & Academic Services in the School of Business, said this is a common issue among some of the core business classes.
"There are several classes like that in core, that only have one offering each semester," Spear
said, "I think the main reason is due to the volume of students and faculty availability"
The volume of students has definitely grown over the years, with a 49 percent increase in undergraduate business students since fall of 2012, said Austin Falley, director of communications for the School of Business.
"Since we've noticed the growth pattern, we're bringing on five new professors in the fall," Falley said. "The new buildings for the business school will also add extra
square footage, allowing for more sections."
"Two of the classes that I need are at the same time, without any alternative options," Thompson said.
WillThompson, a sophomore from Lawrence, said some of the classes he's required to take in order to declare his business major on time are only offered at one time.
Like many students, Thompson works off-campus throughout the week, making

Appeals Court affirms lower court ruling in Bavel case
The Kansas Court of Appeals stood with lower courts in a ruling in the case of Zami Bavel, a University professor who was accused of sexual harassment in 2011.
In 2011, a student accused Zamir Bavel, a professor of Information Processing Studies at the University, of groping her during a study session at a restaurant. Bavel sued the University in 2012, claiming he was not provided due process before the Faculty Rights Board made its decision in the case. Bavel has not been proven guilty, and the Faculty Rights Board cannot make that charge.
Bavel took the case to a district court, arguing the burden of proof should be on the University, not on himself. The district court said the University had upheld its own policies and procedures and had not violated Bavel's rights.
"We are heartened by the strong dissenting opinion, however, and we are considering our options what they may be at this point."

In July 2011, an investigation concluded there was enough substantial evidence to support the allegation against Bavel. Bavel requested a hearing before the Faculty Rights Board, alleging the University had committed procedural violations in his case.
The Faculty Rights Board concluded there had been no procedural violations and denied Bavel an evidentiary hearing. In March 2012, he was sanctioned for alleged sexual harassment, including being suspended for

"We are heartened by the strong dissenting opinion, however, and we are considering our options — what they may be — at this point," Barnhill said. "[...] We feel that there are a number of issues, very troubling issues, that are out there in this case."
Judge Anthony J. Powell disagreed with the opinion. In his dissent, he wrote the sanctions against Bavel, including suspension without pay, constitute deprivation of property, and Bavel was not given due process.
Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, a spokesperson for the University, said in an email Thursday, "The court's ruling speaks for itself."

Fiber internet service coming to Lawrence
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
High-speed, fiber Internet is heading to Lawrence. However, it could be up to two years before RG Fiber starts work in Lawrence.
The Lawrence City Commission agreed on the policy last Tuesday. The stall results from the previous City Commission.
RG Fiber, a Baldwinbased company, signed an agreement with Eudora last Monday to implement the technology in the next 12 months. City Commissioner Matthew Herbert said RG Fiber came to the city two years ago with a proposal, but Lawrence took too long to act.
"They've come to us and said they're for sure going to lease fiber," Herbert said. "They came two years ago and, said, 'We want to do this,' but the
previous commission dragged their feet on it so much that Mike Bosch (an owner and founder of RG Fiber) went to Baldwin, Eudora, anywhere he could. He's coming here, but they've got to finish up the other projects."
While locally-owned Wicked Broadband's owner, Josh Montgomery, came and spoke against the technology, Herbert said Montgomery helped write the policy put into place last Tuesday. Herbert was Wicked Broadband had originally been interested in leasing city fiber as well.
"RG Fiber is going to use their own capital, whereas Josh Montgomery and Wicked wanted the city to loan them all the money." Herbert said. "It's going to cost $30 million to build out Lawrence. Mike Bosch has said 'I've got private investors; it won't cost
taxpayers anything.' "
Fiber technology uses actual fibers to transmit Internet instead of the copper piping used by most companies. While large entities already use fiber, it's been too expensive to route to the home.
"We want multiples; the last thing on earth we want is a monopoly."
MATTHEW HERBERT City Commissioner
While this technology is a massive investment, it is costly, and Herbert said the money was something Wicked Broadband wasn't willing to commit.
"Meanwhile, Wicked said they could commit up to
$3,000, and anything more than that they'd need the city to finance," Herbert said. "Three thousand dollars would get it to like four people's doors. As people begin seeing this work, a lot more vendors will show up."
Rep. Dennis "Boog"
Highberger (D-Lawrence)
said this is a major step for
Lawrence.
"It seems like with our new technology economy, having high speed broadband access is critical," he said. "For technology startups, it's really critical, and hopefully it'll help attract students to KU and new business to the area."
While the city of Lawrence has nothing to do with the cost of the technology in people's homes, it controls the cost it leases it for. The policy now in place offers many conditionalities where the vendor could get the fiber for
free from the city.
"If [vendors] offer it to people below 140 percent of the poverty line or free to not-for-profit organizations, the city will offer their fiber for free," Herbert said. "We think that'll incentivize them to keep the cost lower and incentivize them to offer the service to lower income people."
With the fiber policy roughly a week old, Herbert said he hopes more companies lease fiber in the area and offer the service to customers.
"We want multiples; the last thing on earth we want is a monopoly," he said. "The whole point of having a city fiber policy is to encourage high speed fiber. We're trying to expand to the outside for sure."
RG Fiber could not be reached for comment.

Israeli Ethiopian protest turns violent
ASSOCIATED PRESS
@AP
TEL AVIV, Israel—Several thousand people from Israel's Jewish Ethiopian minority protested in Tel Aviv against racism and police brutality on Sunday, shutting down a major highway and clashing with police on horseback long into the night.
35.000
1967.000
1972.000
The protest was mostly peaceful during the day, but by nightfall became violent with at least 20 officers hurt and "multiple protesters" arrested, Police Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.
Channel 2 TV said the protesters came from all over the country.
Protesters threw rocks and bottles at officers in riot gear. Police deployed officers on horseback and used stun grenades to try and control the crowds in central Tel Aviv. Local media reported protesters tipped over a police vehicle and set fires near city hall.
Israel's Jewish Ethiopians block a highway during a protest against racism and police brutality in Tel Aviv, Israel, Sunday. Several thousand people protested against racism and police brutality.
"I am here to fight for our rights," a woman named
Betel from the northern city of Nazareth Illit told the station.
"I don't want to be beaten by police," said the 21-year-old, who didn't give her last name. "My parents didn't immigrate here for nothing. I want equality."
Simmering Frustrations among Israel's Ethiopian community boiled over when footage emerged of an Ethiopian Israeli in an army uniform being beaten by police last week. Thousands of Ethiopian Jews live in Israel, many of them secretly airlifted into the country in 1984 and 1990, but their absorption into Israeli society has been difficult. Although they are Jewish, Ethiopian community members complain of racism, lack of opportunity in Israeli society, endemic poverty and routine police harassment.
ODED BALILTY/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Police chief Yohanan Danino told Channel 10 TV that "the use of violence by a small minority of the many protesters does not serve their struggle." He added,
"Whoever harms police or civilians will be brought to justice."
Activists told the station they don't want violence to escalate to the level seen in Baltimore where the death of a man in police custody sparked riots. One man held a sign reading: "Bibi, you had better not let Baltimore reach Israel," referring to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by his nickname.
Police said thousands of
people took part in Sunday's protest. Protesters blocked roads in central Tel Aviv as well as a main highway leading to the city during the day.
It was the second such protest in several days and supporters say the demonstrations will continue. The first rally last week in Jerusalem turned violent as well, but on a smaller scale.
Protestor's marched in Tel
Aviv, with some blowing whistles or chanting "violen police officers belong in jail."
Netanyahu said he will meet Monday with representatives of the community as well as the beaten solider.
Public Security Minister Yitzhak 'Aharonovich tolk Channel 2 the officers caught in the footage are "a disgrace" and are being investigated.
as priorities by the task force include clearly outlining procedures for filing complaints and making that information more visible, as well as implementing multiple prevention programs for first-year students and requiring first-year students to live in campus housing, but excluding fraternity and sorority houses until sophomore year. Sorority houses already implement the deferral rule, according to the report.
TASK FORCE FROM PAGE 1
The full report is online at sataskforce.ku.edu.
During the presentation, Gray-Little and the provost both asked questions on how alcohol impacted the task force's recommendations, other risk factors that play a part in sexual violence besides alcohol and what the members of the task force team learned that might not be in the report.
Alesha Doan, department chair of Women, Gender
Former student body president Emma Halling said membership in Greek life is statistically proven to show impact not just for perpetrators, but also victimhood. Women who are members of sororities are more likely to be sexually assaulted, Halling said.
and Sexuality Studies, said although alcohol's impact is reflected in the recommendations, the team was careful not to go too far down the alcohol road because getting rid of alcohol doesn't solve the issue. Doan said there is correlation, but not necessarily causation.
Several members of the task force mentioned other factors that play a role in sexual violence, such as gender, age and involvement in social circles such as sororites and fraternities.

Currently transfer students are evaluated based on ACT scores and GPA, Gray-Little said.
Halling also said one issue she learned about, but wasn't specifically mentioned in the final report was the lack of questions asked of transfer students. Halling said transfer students are not questioned on interpersonal violence at previous universities or in the court system. Halling said this issue is worth looking into.
Overall, Doan said she feels the report reflects not only the research the task force looked at, but also the hundreds of people they talked to on campus.
Doan said the task force had lots of support, encouragement and advice from the University community members that

"It's not just about protecting the University; it's not necessarily just about protecting the students — it's about the fabric of our community and creating meaningful social change in our community and tracking that progress for the next five, 10 and 15 years," said task force co-chair student Angela Murphy, a graduate student in the English department.

NEW YORK - A man who officials say boasted of being a street "hellraiser" and served prison time for attempted murder was arraigned Sunday on charges that he shot a New York City police officer in the head.

Officer Brian Moore "is fighting for his life," Queens District Attorney Richard Brown told The Associated Press after spending many hours with the comatose 25-year-old officer.
The suspect, Demetrius Blackwell, was ordered held without bail after appearing in Queens Criminal Court in a torn white jumpsuit. His hands were cuffed behind his back and legs shackled.
He was arrested Saturday night and charged with attempted murder in Moore's shooting.
Moore remained hospitalized in critical but stable condition after hours of surgery for what court papers described as "severe injuries to his skull and brain." Doctors have placed him in a medically induced coma.
The 35-year-old suspect did not enter a plea during the 5-minute arraignment, for which more than 100 officers packed the courtroom. He is due back in court Friday.
Prosecutors said Sunday they intend to present the case to a grand jury before Blackwell's next court date.

"This was nothing more and nothing less than a cold-blooded attempt at an assassination of New York's finest," Assistant District
He said Moore and patrol partner Erik Jansen — both in plainclothes in an unmarked police car — approached Blackwell on a Queens street after seeing him tugging at his waistband around 6:15 p.m. Saturday and asked him, "What are you carrying?"
Attorney Peter McCormack said.
The officers ordered Blackwell to stop and exchanged words with him. And that's when Blackwell allegedly turned and "in a vicious manner started to fire" — at least two shots, the prosecutor said.
Jansen was not hit and radioed for help.
Officers searched house by house in the quiet Queens Village neighborhood, and some could be seen walking on roofs as helicopters flew overhead.
After Blackwell's arrest, McCormack said three witnesses picked him out of a police lineup.
The prosecutor said Blackwell told a detective that he is known as a "hellraiser on the street."
After the arraignment, Blackwell's court-appointed lawyer, David Bart, told Judge Michael Yavinsky that his client was arrested at his home without a warrant and that "the arrest may be illegal."
Moore's listed address is a small, well-kept house in the Long Island hamlet of Massapequa — a tight-knit community where neighbors have known each other well for decades. Many families have relatives who are police officers.
Both McCormack and a police spokesman declined to comment on the warrant, citing the ongoing investigation.
Patrick Lynch, president of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, said Moore's family members "stand in silence with tears in their eyes, not knowing what the outcome for Brian will be."
According to state corrections records, Blackwell was convicted in 2001 on an attempted murder charge. Brown told the AP that Blackwell pointed a handgun at the occupant of a car in a
robbery attempt, then fired shots at the vehicle. Other details on the case were not immediately available.
McCormack said Blackwell also was arrested in 2013 after he grabbed at an NYPD detective's badge and spit at him.
Bart countered that his client "has no particular animus toward police officers."
Blackwell served the full five years of his sentence and then returned to prison for violating parole in 2007. He was released again in 2008.
"Our hearts are with his family, his loved ones," de Blasio said. "Our hearts are with his extended family, the men and women of the NYPD."
Neighbors had only kind words for Moore, some saying they shed tears after hearing he was shot.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said Saturday's shooting was a painful reminder of the risks officers take every day.
Moore, who comes from a family of police officers, has been on the job since July 2010.
The shooting was the fifth of an on-duty police officer in as many months.

Minimum wage laws hurt minority groups
John Olson
@JohnOlsonUDK
The majority of Americans support raising the minimum
wage, according to a Gallup Poll. However, this increase may not have the results many expect. Even if this change is intended to help the poor, policies must be judged by their results rather than their intentions. From my point of view, raising the minimum wage would strip underprivileged groups of opportunities to improve their status in society. Being a white male, I come from an extreme
position of privilege, so I could be wrong. Nevertheless, when one follows the economic logic and data, a disturbing truth about the minimum wage is revealed.
Payday is one of the best days of the week, and it's worth digging into the economics behind it. Wages mostly correspond with the productivity individuals add to a firm. This is why a doctor is paid more than a fast-food worker. However, it is important that one does not associate their worth in society with wages. After all, a convincing argument can be made that a garbage collector is more valuable to civilization than a neurosurgeon. Still, most wages follow this productivity-matching rule.
Unfortunately, racism and poverty marginalize underprivileged groups into lower productivity. Poor
schooling for minority students leads to the Achievement Gap, which may cause the lower initial productivity of minorities, as compared to whites. This is through no fault of the minorities' actions, and it is an absolute scandal that it occurs. When circumstances are so dire, on-the-job experience is one of the best ways to boost productivity and earn higher wages.
This is where the effects of the minimum wage come in. Most firms will not hire individuals whose productivity falls beneath the base wage. So if a minority individual's productivity is worth $5 an hour due to systematic issues of privilege, and the minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, the individual will not be hired because the value they would add to the firm would be less than their wage. A privileged white person would likely not
have their initial productivity fall beneath the base wage and would thus be hired. However, the underprivileged would remain unemployed and be denied the opportunity to earn experience that would lead to higher future pay.
The claim that minimum wage laws hurt underprivileged groups is backed by empirical evidence. In 1948, the unemployment rate of white and black youth was roughly the same. Following a large increase in the minimum wage, the unemployment rate of black youth more than doubled, while the rate rose only a couple points for whites. More recently, the increase of the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour led to a spike in black youth unemployment, while white youth unemployment rates remained comparatively stable. Increases in the minimum wage may price underprivileged
groups with lower marginal productivity out of the market, depriving them of opportunity to improve their wages. In effect, minimum wage laws may be some of the most racist laws we have on our books.
So what is to be done? A large majority of people support the minimum wage, so politicians are not willing to abolish it. In my opinion, the wage should not be raised. Inflation will erode the value of the wage until a point is reached where underprivileged groups are priced back into the market and can earn higher wages. Until then, we should examine the minimum wage's effects. What may sound like a good idea may in fact be damaging to groups that already have a hard enough life as is.

Schools should do more for under-fed kids
Victoria Calderon
@WriterVictoriaC

Millions of children go hungry every day with families unable to provide meals for them consistently. There is a stigma against people who are too poor to afford food — a stigma that causes individuals to feel too ashamed to let anyone know about their hunger or to ask for help. This isn't just going on in some developing country; this is going on in the United States, where every one in five children goes hungry.
The National Center for Education Statistics reports
that in the 2010-11 school year, 48.1 percent of public school students across the nation were on free or reduced lunch, a number that has been growing steadily since 2000. Free or reduced lunches are available to kids from low-income families that have been deemed unable to afford school meals otherwise. USA Today reports that one in five households across the country with kids are considered "food insecure, which means people in the household are at risk of going hungry or missing meals or don't know where their next meal is coming from." These kids are only guaranteed meals when they are in school, which far too often translates to some children getting one meager plate of food a day. When so many students face food insecurity, schools should take on a greater responsibility by making more meals or more
Currently, Wichita is only considering applying for the program: Topeka and Kansas City are among the
servings per meal available to them.
A few school districts in Kansas have found a solution to this disturbing problem through the Community Eligibility Provision program, which is a part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The program "gives schools in high-poverty areas the option of serving the meals to all students, regardless of their families' economic situation" via reimbursement, according to the Topeka Capital-Journal. This program would allow qualifying schools to serve free breakfast and lunch, eliminating some of the food insecurity faced by these students, as they would have two guaranteed meals per day instead of just one.
"WHEN SO MANY STUDENTS FACE FOOD INSECURITY, SCHOOLS SHOULD TAKE ON A GREATER RESPONSIBILITY BY MAKING MORE MEALS OR MORE SERVINGS PER MEAL AVAILABLE TO THEM."
few districts in Kansas that have become involved in the program.
Wichita was able to apply in 2014 as well as for this school year, but school officials decried the deadline for the application and "logistical concerns" as the reasons why they did not apply, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported.
While other school districts are setting a good example for the rest of Kansas and the nation, Wichita and other school districts with this need
have to stop hesitating and put the well-being of these kids above their "logistical concerns." With so many kids unsure of where their next meal is coming from, public schools need to become a place of certainty when it comes to their students' health and nutrition.

Kansas Food Truck Festival draws a crowd

@kellycordingley
restival goers line up at at a food truck early in the evening. The Kansas Food Truck Festival took place on Saturday from 5 to 10 p.m.Around 15 food trucks were set up, and local bands played during the festival.
FRANK WFIRICH/KANSAN
With hundreds of people flocking to the 800 block of Pennsylvania Street for the second Lawrence Food Truck Festival on Saturday, May 2. the vendors were swamped with hungry and excited foodies. Ticket proceeds went to Just Food, an organization that fights hunger in Douglas County. This was a great event to stuff your face for a good cause.
Between live music, 15 food carts and the beautiful weather, Saturday seemed to go off without a hitch.
I was looking for something
My first order of business was the main course. Bochi, an asian-inspired food truck featuring stuffed chicken wings and fried rice, was exactly what I needed after a long day of writing a 12-page paper. The MeKong sauce, a peanut-based sauce, wasn't too sweet or too dry. It was perfect, as were the crab rangoons. The wonton part wasn't too tough or thick, but carried more of a melt-in-your-mouth consistency. The chicken fried rice was delicious, as well. It had a flavor that wasn't sweet or tangy, but was something new that made me crave more.
The next order of business was to mooch off other people's food. The chicken nachos at Indios Carbonsitos were nothing to write home about, but they had an extra pinch of spiciness that I didn't expect. They were fairly run-of-the-mill nachos, but were fun to eat and walk around with, nonetheless. The churros, on the other hand, were soft and sweet and covered in cinnamon-sugary goodness.
"THE SECOND YEAR WAS A CLEAR SUCCESS, MAYBE MORE THAN THE VENDORS ANTICIPATED ITWOULD BE."
that really encompassed a true food truck experience, so I went to Deco Street Eats. The truck had run out of several options by 9:30 p.m., when I was in line. So I ended up ordering a nice platter of various cheeses, grapes and Italian cuts of meat. It wasn't my first choice, but it was oddly refreshing and served as a nice end to my food-filled evening.
Now, for the main reason I was drawn to the Food Truck Festival: the locally based creme brulee cart, Torched
Goodness. It offers various kinds of creme brulee; vanilla, sea salt caramel, chocolate infused with various fruits and flavors; and more. I'd never been to its cart in Lawrence before and sadly still haven't. I shouldn't have waited so long to get creme brulee because my dream come true in food truck form ran out before I could get any.
The second year was a clear success, maybe more than the vendors anticipated it would be. Torched Goodness, along with several others, sold out early but customers didn't seem to mind. The gorgeous weather, fun people and plethora of food options made this a fantastic Saturday night, and I anticipate next year will be even better — with more creme brulee.

MXM2015 brings local music pros together
LILY GRANT
@lilygrant_UDK
Members of the music industry - local musicians, management teams, talent scouts and music lovers joined forces this past Friday and Saturday to put on the second annual MixMaster Music Conference & Showcase. Gathering 'people in the industry to share information and network,' #MXM2015 was organized to support local music and advance the music community in Lawrence and the surrounding area.
Dylan Guthrie, lead singer of local band Pink Royal, has attended the conference both years. His band has gained success since last year's conference, with the recent release of its album "Taps" and a show the band played at the Granada.
"I can't even tell you how
helpful [the conference] is to me and to others," he said. "Everyone's scribbling down notes and networking. Everyone was incredibly friendly and open. Music and strategies for success shouldn't be a competition, even though music, in some ways, feels competitive. What's cool about events like this is that they bring the musical community together in this way that is mutually beneficial."
The conference began on Friday with production workshops at Lawrence Public Library's Sound + Vision Studio, including a master class with local music producers. The day ended with "Songwriter Night" at Five Bar & Tables, where local musicians played their own music and covered other songs.
Saturday's festivities began at noon with a session where music professionals discussed
DYLAN GUTHRIE
Lead singer of Pink Royal
"There's a lot that goes into making sure that we're getting some sort of compensation for the work that we've put our blood, sweat and tears into," Guthrie said.
Musicians learned how important it is to have a strong, supportive team of people who manage a band or artist. Attendees were also taught
the industry and issues pertaining to copyright, live streaming music and how to insure every member of an artist's team is being paid fairly.
how to get a musician's name out there by networking and using social media.
The conference ended with an event called "Demo Dip", where musicians who brought a demo of their music could have it played aloud for 30-45 seconds, and a panel of music journalists and industry experts responded with honest, helpful feedback. Chris Haghirian, who works for INK Magazine and Kansas Cityarea music station 90.9 The Bridge, was one of the panelist for Demo Dip. He said the panel offered critique and let the musicians know what they could do with their music.
Guthrie said his biggest takeaway from the event was learning how to build a team of people who are invested to advocate for his band and appreciated Nick Carswell, head of Silly Goose Records, for putting the event on.
"I'm blown-away impressed with the work Nick did bring all these people together," Guthrie said. "He's set a bar for the musical community that we all need to strive for."
Haghirian said the best part about MXM is that Carswell created an event and environment where bands have the full attention of people in the media that can play their music, write about their music or photograph their live gigs.
"It itars down the walls and cuts through a long string of perhaps unanswered emails because we're all in the room together now," Haghirian said. "I suggest all young bands and young musicians make plans to attend MXM2016 and take advantage of the opportunity that Nick [Carswell] has created for them to help start their band on a better path."

QUICK QUESTION
On Saturday, the Kansan caught up with Hayley Loufek, a senior from Aurora, Ill., and Sloan Bengtston, a sophomore from Austin, Texas. The two are friends and both are current members of KU Genuine Imitation, an A Cappella group on campus. They were in Anschutz library hanging up fliers for the organization when The Kansan caught up with them and asked about their experiences with Genuine Imitation.
What's your best piece of advice for other students interested in getting involved with a student organization on campus?
"Throw yourself out there. Don't be afraid to just go in and audition for something or say you're interested in something."

"I would say just seek them [student organizations] out if you think it might be interesting, and try it yourself. I met most of my friends through those organizations, so if you don't have someone to join with you, that's OK because you will probably meet people along the way."

'Avengers' sequel overflows with satisfying superhero fun
Alex Lamb
@Lambcannon
FILM FRAME/ASSOCIATED PRESS
With "Avengers: Age of Ultron," the Marvel Cinematic Universe has reached an extraordinary new level of bringing comic books to life. These movies have built such a large world that it's naturally ingrained within viewers' minds at this point. The overload of characters, cameos, previous film references and future film tie-ins don't feel like connections between separate things, but parts of a greater whole.
Thanks to that sense of cohesion, this sequel flows with enhanced depth in the heroes, the story, the jokes and even the spectacular action sequences, alongside writer/director Joss Whedon's impressive balance of so many characters. The laugh-out-loud wit, energetic pacing, emotional investment and big, stylish thrills he gives to the proceedings make this the kind of blockbuster that intensely satisfies on all fronts.
This time the conflict comes from an evil the Avengers themselves create, rather than outside forces. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) give birth to an artificial intelligence named Ultron (James Spader), intended as a defense program for Earth, who instead harnesses a powerful robot body and army and seeks humanity's destruction. Ultron proves not only a formidable foe, but an entertaining one as well, as he takes on some of Stark's personality and humor.
COOLEST SUPERPOWER
Aiding Ultron are twins Pietro (Aaron-Taylor Johnson) and Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), aka Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Slick slow-motion shots show Pietro's superspeed, but Wanda's telekinetic powers give her a dynamic fighting style that comes across like an interpretive dance, while her hypnotic control puts the Avengers in dreamlike states of fear. These surreal, engrossing sequences bring out interesting sides of the heroes, particularly the severe past of Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson).
BEST ACTION SEQUENCE
WHEN BANNER SEQUENCE
When Banner falls under this spell, he goes on a destructive rampage in the city, so Iron Man brings in the bulky Hulkbuster suit to stop him. The ensuing brawl tears through many streets and buildings, flying up the side of one skyscraper then toppling another enormous structure, while Iron Man and Hulk beat each other senseless.
It's pure fun watching these two clash, especially with Stark fearfully apologizing, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" after a brutal hit on an even angrier Hulk.
FUNNIEST RUNNING GAG
FORTUNE FORMING UU
At a party Stark hosts early on, the different Avengers humorously try lifting Thor's (Chris Hemsworth) hammer, although none succeed. This gag comes up a few more times with an eventual payoff
that earned a loud reaction from my entire theater.
CRAZIEST SHOT
Whedon opens the film with a wildly exciting continuous action shot roving through snowy woods, showcasing each Avenger battling bad guys individually, highlighting their powers and style, before they all join ranks and fight together. It's like hitting a home run on the first pitch, and Whedon
returns with a grand slam in the climax as the team circles up to stave off Ultron's robot army, shown with a continuous shot that spins around them as each takes out robot after robot with awesome moves.
"Avengers: Age of Ultron" is brimming over with so much superhero entertainment that it can be a little overwhelming, so put on your suit and enjoy the ride.
Rodney Walker, 71, is the sculptor for the statue of a woman in the hands of a man. The statue is made of steel and features a large skull with a long nose. The woman's hair is brown and styled in a bun. She is wearing a black dress with white stripes on the sleeves. The statue is located in an industrial setting, with metal structures and machinery visible in the background.

Kansas City Chiefs' draft picks fill needed voids
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
The 2015 NFL draft is officially in the books and the Kansas City Chiefs have a whole new selection of rookies who fans hope will help their team. The Chiefs came into the draft holding needs at cornerback, safety, offensive line, wide receiver and defensive line. Kansas City was able to fill most of those needs.
ROUND ONE, PICK 18:
MARCUS PETERS, CORNERBACK
FROM WASHINGTON
VITAL STATS: 6-foot, 197 pounds. Totaled 129 tackles, 11 interceptions and one touchdown in his three-year college career. He ran a 4.53 40-yard dash time and recorded a 37.5-inch vertical at the NFL Combine.
Peters is an interesting case study. He was dismissed from the Washington Huskies football program after nine games in 2014 for allegedly getting into disagreements with his coaches. If he has rehabilitated his character, he is a fantastic pick for the Chiefs. Peters is an aggressive,
shutdown cornerback who plays with an attitude. In 2014, he held Jaelen Strong, one of the top wide receiver prospects from Arizona State, to only two catches. With the 18th pick, the Chiefs may have stolen the best corner in the entire 2015 NFL draft class.
ROUND TWO, PICK 49: MITCH MORSE, OFFENSIVE LINEMAN FROM MISSouri
VITAL STATS: 6-foot-5, 305 pounds. 5.14 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine.
The Chiefs desperately needed a center after losing starter Rodney Hudson to the Oakland Raiders in free agency. Although they may have overpaid for him, Morse can fill that void. He is a smart offensive lineman who can play every position on the offensive line. Still, with top offensive weapon prospects like Jaelen Strong and Minnesota tight end Maxx Williams still on the board, the Chiefs could possibly have made a better selection with this pick.
ROUND THREE, PICK 76: CHRISE
CONLEY, WIDE RECEIVER
FROM GEORGIA
VITAL STATTS: 6-foot-2,
213 pounds. Totaled 117
receptions, 1,938 yards and
20 touchdowns in his four-year
college career. Conley ran a
4.35 40-yard dash time and
recorded a 45-inch vertical (for
reference, Andrew Wiggins
recorded a 44-inch vertical) at
the NFL Combine.
Heading into the draft, the Chiefs needed a wide receiver. Conley is an athletic freak who uses his incredible speed to get open and blow past receivers. With a 45-inch vertical leap, he can go up and grab jump balls with ease. Conley can develop into a great No.2 wide receiver for the Chiefs in the years to come.
ROUND THREE, PICK 34: STEVEN
NELSON, CORNERBACK FROM
OREGON STATE
VITAL STATS: 5-foot-10, 197 pounds. Totaled 122 tackles and eight interceptions in his four-year college career. Ran a 4.49 40-yard dash and recorded a 34.5-inch vertical leap at the NFL Combine.
The Chiefs added another physical and aggressive cornerback in the third round.
Nelson displays a closing burst of speed and can consistently contest passes. He is also a very good tackler for his size.
ROUND FOUR, PICK 19:
RAMIK WILSON, LINEBACKER
FROM GEORGIA
VITAL STATES: 6-foot-2, 237 pounds. Totaled 253 tackles, 19 tackles-for-loss and six sacks throughout his college career. Ran a 4.77 40-yard dash and recorded a 35-inch vertical leap at the NFL Combine.
The Chiefs desperately needed a linebacker after allowing opponents to rush for an average of 4.7 yards in 2014. Wilson is productive and a big hitter. As a three-year starter, he has the experience to be an early impact player for Kansas City.
ROUND FIVE, PICK 36:
DJ. ALEXANDER, LINEBACKER
FROM DREGON STATE
VITAL STATS: 6-foot-2, 233 pounds. Totaled 183 tackles, 20.5 tackles-for-loss and 6.5 sacks in 32 starts,
The second player the Chiefs selected out of Oregon State,
Alexander will add linebacker depth for the Chiefs. Alexander is very fast for his size and is an impact special teams player, totaling eight special teams tackles in 2012.
ROUND FIVE, PICK 37:
JAMES O'SHAUGHNESS, TIGHT
END FROM LLINOIS STATE
VITAL STATS: 6-foot-4, 237 pounds. Totaled 67 receptions, 1,170 yards and 14 touchdowns throughout his college career.
Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith needs all the offensive weapons he can get. O'Shaughnessy is a good one. He is athletic and can challenge defenses vertically. He has good hands and is a willing blocker; he should pair well with Kansas City's emerging star tight end Travis Kelce.
ROUND SIX, PICK 41:
RAKEE MUNEZ-ROCHES,
DEFENSIVE LINEMAN FROM
SOUTHERN MISSISSBII
VITAL STATS: 6-foot-2, 307 pounds. Totaled 103 tackles, 20.5 tackles for a loss and four sacks throughout his college career. Ran a 5.02 40-yard
dash time and recorded a 34-inch vertical leap at the NFL Combine.
The Chiefs need a defensive tackle who can give third-year nose tackle Dontari Poe a rest. Nunez-Roches can do that. He is a powerful pass rusher who plays hard every game and possesses above-average agility and balance for his position.
ROUND SEVEN, PICK 16:
DA'RON BROWN,
WIDE RECEIVER
FROM NORTHERN ILLINOIS
VITAL STATS: 6-foot, 205 pounds. Totaled 155 receptions, 2,295 yards and 19 touchdowns throughout his college career. Ran a 4.54 40-yard dash time and recorded a 37-inch vertical leap at the NFL Combine.
The Chiefs closed out their 2015 draft class by adding another wide receiver for quarterback Alex Smith. Brown knows how to get open and has good hands. Although he is small for the position, he contests catches very well.

Kansas offense continues to struggle at the plate
WESLEY DOTSON
@WesleyDee23
Outfielder Connor McKay throws a caught ball back to the pitcher in the final minutes of the game.
The Kansas Jayhawks' offense has certainly been the biggest bright spot for most of the season. The team's batting average of .278 ranks fourth in the Big 12. But as of late, they have undoubtedly had their struggles at the plate.
Kansas has now dropped four of its past five games, and a big part of that has been the lack of offense. Since April 26, the Jayhawks have been outscored by their opponents 31-17.
Freshman Matt McLaughlin has been a strong presence in the lineup this season, but he came into Sunday's game against Baylor hitless in his last 18 at-bats.
Senior Blair Beck has had similar troubles at the plate, producing only two hits in his past six games, leading up to Sunday.
Junior Tommy Mirabelli and senior Justin Protocio are also struggling offensively. Mirabelli recorded a hit Sunday, but it was his first since April 24. Protocio has only recorded one since April 26.
"I wish I didn't have to pull this many left-handers today," coach Ritch Price said after Sunday's 14-4 loss. "But with Colby Wright being out with his injury, I've got to play the two left-handed hitting infielders [Protocio and Mirabelli], and both guys are really struggling."
"It's been two weeks of him [Beck] struggling," Price said. "And when you've got Protocacio struggling, [Beck] struggling and then you mix in Mirabelli struggling on the
For the Jayhawks to get back on track, they will need the offense to get back to where it has been for most of the season.
Beck finally showed signs of breaking out of his slump Sunday with his seventh home run of the season. He ended up with two hits on the day.
"The only way we are going to win is if Connor McKay and Blair Beck and Dakota Smith and Michael Tinsley
other side of the plate, we're not going to win."
One Jayhawk who has stayed red-hot is senior Connor McKay, who extended his on-base streak to 35 games on Sunday with a single.
... those guys have to be impact players," Price said.
"When three of those guys are struggling in one weekend, we're not going to score. And you saw it this weekend."
The Jayhawks will have to start hitting better as a team against Northwestern and TCU this week in order to win.

Bears' power proves too much for Jayhawks
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
Baylor came into the series finale against Kansas on Sunday with a Big 12 worst: six home runs in the past 46 games. But that didn't stop the Bears from blasting three homers against the Jayhawks, burying them 14-4 to take the rubber match in Hoglund Ballpark.
"It's a tough one to swallow right there," senior Blair Clack said. "We didn't get the start that we wanted, and we're having a lot of growing pains right now."
Sunday's rubber match marked the fourth time since Big 12 play began that the Jayhawks put themselves in a position to win the series in game three. The Jayhawks held the Bears scoreless Friday with a 2-0 victory, but
the Bears retaliated with a 6-3 win in game two on Saturday.
The Bears got on the board first during the second inning with a three-run homer from sophomore Darryn Sheppard over the left-center wall, his first of the year.
Kansas' Tommy Mirabelli earned his 12th RBI of the season while scoring teammate Matt McLaughlin and cutting the Bears' lead to 3-1 after three innings. The Bears answered with another three-run inning during the top of the fourth as they took advantage of a throwing error by Jayhawks' pitcher Sean Rackoski and capped off the inning with two RBIs to make the score 6-1.
Freshman Blake Weiman relieved Rackoski in the top of the fifth after three straight singles produced another run for the Bears. The freshman
southpaw immediately made an impact, earning three straight outs including a strikeout to end the inning.
"The thing I was most pleased with is [Ben] Krauth has been helping him with his pickoff move, and when he picked the guy off first base; that's the best he's shown a move all season."
RITCH PRICE Kansas baseball coach
"[Weiman] had a good job of coming in and locating the ball down, which is what he has to do because he is not firm enough yet to pitch with his fastball," coach Ritch Price said. "He's got to
really locate and then mix in his breaking ball and his changeup."
Weiman did just that and continued his success in the sixth, allowing a hit but making up for it by picking the runner off during the next at-bat.
"The thing I was most pleased with is [Ben] Krauth has been helping him with his pickoff move, and when he picked the guy off first base; that's the best he's shown a move all season." Price said. "It's nice to see our players helping each other out."
The Jayhawks got a spark in the bottom of the sixth when senior Connor McKay started the inning with a base-hit. Fellow senior Dakota Smith followed. with an RBI double as McKay turned on the jets and scored from first base. Smith advanced to third
following a groundout and later showed off his speed while scoring on a wild pitch to cut the Bears' lead to 7-3 with three innings remaining
with three innings remaining The Bears again answered with runs of their own as Sheppard launched another shot over left field to give his team a 9-3 advantage.
In the top of the eighth, the Bears sent another one out of the park, this time off the bat of sophomore Aaron Dodson. The hit added two more runs to the Bears' score giving them 13 runs after eight innings, seven of those coming from home runs.
Beck took a page out of the Bears' book and hit a one-run shot over left field to cut the deficit to 11-4 going into the final inning.
Baylor continued its offensive blast throughout the rest of the game, tacking
on three more runs in the top of the ninth. The Bears finished the game with 14 runs off 14 hits, which was enough to take home the 14-4 victory, as well as the series against the Jayhawks.
The Jayhawks have eight games remaining in the regular season as they try to get the pieces in order to have success in the Big 12 Tournament.
"We're going to have to show how tough we are going into these last two weeks," Beck said. "It's going to take a lot of senior leadership and guys coming up clutch for us to get us to the tournament."
Kansas will travel to Illinois to take on the Northwestern Wildcats in two weekday games Tuesday, May 5 and Wednesday, May 6.
Sporting KC tops Chicago behind Melia's first start
- Edited by Lane Cofas
@HardyNFL
CHRISTIAN HARDY
Sporting KC goalkeeper Tim Melia walked off the Sporting Park field with a huge smile on his face. And why not?
For Melia, the day couldn't have been much better: his team pulled out a late 1-0 victory over the Chicago Fire, he started in his first MLS match since exactly one year ago, and he notched the first shutout of his six-year MLS career.
Melia'sfirst touch in a Sporting KC kit came on a forceful
("Melia was) pretty damn close to perfect," midfielder Benny Feilhaber said. "He did everything that we asked for. Came out, saved us a couple times in the back with really good punches, made some pretty good saves."
header over an oncoming Chicago player just outside the box. That first touch set the tone for the rest of the game.
"Getting an early touch helps calm the nerves, but I felt good, I felt confident," Melia said.
"Usually it's with your hands, but he did it with his head," manager Peter Vermes said. "That's when you know it was going to be good.
Melia was credited with three saves as Sporting KC marched to its first victory in nearly a month. After being awarded his first start of the season just days before in a meeting with Vermes, Melia did a lot more than just notch saves: he was active, decisive, distributed well, and never looked rattled. He gave the back line the backbone it has lacked in past weeks with Luis Marin in goal.
“(Melia) has been very sharp in training, he's got a lot of confidence, you could see it tonight,” Vermes said. “(Marin) hasn't been as sharp as maybe he should be. Sometimes it's good for them to get a chance to sit back and watch and almost regroup, and get refocused again. At the same time, that opens up an opportunity for someone else.”
"I've got a soft spot for
After missed chances in the first half and a slow pace for much of the second, the deciding touch finally came in the 75th minute, ten minutes after midfielder Paulo Nagamura was subbed onto the pitch. Jalil Anibaba crossed in a ball from the right side of the box to Nagamura, who took the header and buried it into the top left corner of the net.
Naga[mura]," Vermes said. "He's 5-foot-nothing, and he's going up against a guy who's 6-foot-4, it's his first action of the game and he's trying to win the header. It's just the way that he competes, and it's big for the rest of our players when he's out there."
It was Nagamura's first goal since last September, and the first time he's ever scored off a header, he said. Although his playing time has decreased, he's always been a big boost for Sporting KC when he's on the field.
"I always know my role on the team, and as long as they want me here, I'm going to give 100 percent for the team," Nagamura said. "Maybe it's tougher to be on the sideline and the bench and watching the other guys play, but you have to be smart."
and you have to be reasonable to wait for your chance and do the most when your chance comes."
Sporting Kansas City had a chance at two sure-fire goals in the first half just after the 30th minute, both of which would have been assists for Benny Feilhaber. One came off the head of striker Dom Dwyer, and the other from defender Kevin Ellis.
"He has grande cojones," Vermes said of Feilhaber. "In big moments in games, Benny always winds up being a guy that stands up, he sticks his head up. That's an important thing to have on the team."
For Dwyer, it was the epitome of his season to this point: missed opportunities on the final touch. But it hasn't defined the 24-year-old this season.

"I like the courage that he
Nagamura
has," Vermes said. "As long as he keeps that up and he keeps working, he'll get his goals, no doubt about it."
Sporting Kansas City will be back on the pitch next week to take on DC United in Washington D.C., looking for their second straight win.

Kansas swept by Baylor in final conference homestand
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
The Jayhawk softball team (35-13, 11-4) was swept by the No.14 Baylor Bears this weekend in the final home series of conference play for the season.
The Jayhawks began the weekend by nearly coming back against the Bears on Friday. Freshman Daniella Chavez stepped up to the plate with two outs in the final inning with two runners on base. Chavez struck out to end the game, and Kansas lost 4-2.
"I thought we fought hard until the end and it was good to see them answer right away to start the game," coach Megan Smith said after Friday's game, according to a University release. "I think what got us tonight was that our at-bats the second time around wasn't as good."
Senior Chanin Naudin led the Jayhawks with two hits Friday night. Chavez led the team with two RBIs Friday.
Saturday was senior day for the four Kansas seniors: infielders Maddie Stein and Naudin, as well as pitchers Beth Wilson and Alicia Pille.
Unfortunately, that is not what happened, and the Jayhawks lost 7-0 Sunday. It was potentially the last game in Arrocha Ballpark this season. The Jayhawks
"There was definitely a lack of focus at the beginning of the game and we were offensively stagnant again," Smith said. "We have to come out [Sunday] and do a better job."
In the game, Baylor secured the 6-1 victory by scoring early and often, racking up four runs on six hits in the first two innings. Freshman Jessie Roane led the Jayhawks with two hits and one RBI.
surrendered six runs in the final two innings, securing the loss.
"I think that we gave some free bases away and they made some good adjustments," Smith said. "Pille couldn't catch a break there in the end. They were a good offensive team that made adjustments there at the end.
Pille got the start at pitcher for the Jayhawks on Sunday, recording six strikeouts while allowing 10 hits and seven scores
Junior Briana Evans and sophomore Taylor McElhaney each recorded one hit apiece for the Jayhawks. They were the only two hits for the Jayhawks on Sunday.
Up next, the Jayhawks will finish out the regular season with a weekend series at Iowa State May 8-10 before learning their fate in the NCAA tournament.

THE MORNING BREW
Timekeeper's gaffe a giant factor in Spurs' loss to Clippers
+
After six hard-fought games, the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers squared off in game seven, which fittingly went down to the wire.
A
The referee handed the ball to Boris Diaw, the inbounder on the play.
With one second left, the Clippers found themselves clinging to a two-point lead, but the Spurs had the ball, which meant they had a chance.
Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU
Matt Bonner ran to the corner on the strong side and Danny Green began to cut toward the inbounder, and Kawhi Leonard ran to the top of the key and started to cut back to the rim.
The familiar sound of the final buzzer halted play, as the players looked around to see what had happened. Somehow the clock had started before the ball was inbounded, and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was furious, and rightfully so.
The Clippers got a sneak-peek at the play the Spurs were going to run, but rather than use his last timeout, Popovich ran the same play again.
This time, when Leonard cut to the rim, Clippers forward Matt Barnes was in much better position to defend, helping way off one of the best three-point shooters in the playoffs, Marco Belinelli.
Diaw threw the lob to Leonard, but Barnes swatted it away. That was that. The Spurs were eliminated in the first round, after reaching the NBA Finals each of the past two seasons.
That buzzer going off, whether inadvertently or on purpose (as some have theorized on Twitter), may very well have not only altered the course of the game, but the course of history.
After all, the Spurs came into the postseason having won 11 of their past 12 games and 21 of their past 25. They were one of — if not the — hottest team in the NBA, and their roster of legends seemed ready to make another run at a championship.
Bovada, an online betting site, had the Spurs as the third most likely team to win the championship coming into the playoffs, behind the Steph Curry-led Golden State Warriors and LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers.
But it wasn't meant to be.
A win could've put the Spurs on their way to winning their sixth NBA championship, all of which have come
But it wasn't meant to be.
THE BREW
since the team drafted Tim Duncan in the 1997-98 season. For Duncan, a sixth ring would've added that much more to his already ridiculous legacy. Leonard, on the other hand, could have continued to grow his legacy with a second title
reggie with a second title and, potentially, a second Finals MVP award, all before his 24th birthday.
The game, the series, the legacies: all were altered by a buzzer going off before it was supposed to. And considering that this may have been the last season for Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili, who are 39 and 37, respectively, the buzzer may end up being the perfect metaphor for the end of one other thing: the Spurs' title window.

SOFTBALL Jayhawks swept by Baylor Bears in weekend series I PAGE 8
COMMENTARY
Chris Paul rewrites his legacy round by round
Sean Collins
@seanzie_3
It's no secret that Clipper's point guard Chris Paul is and has been one of the league's best playmakers every year since he joined the NBA in 2005. Time after time, he has been regarded as the best point guard in the league; but, the knock on him is that even though his skill is elite, he hasn't accomplished anything significant in his career.
Before this season, Paul was an abysmal 17-25 in the playoffs and had never made it out of the second round. Personally, I was critical of Paul's postseason record — not to mention his title of best point guard in the NBA
because of his inability to bring his team far in the playoffs, even with strong rosters to back him up.
I couldn't help but criticize Paul's ability to carry his team when it mattered the most. However, as far as Paul's legacy is concerned, he took a big step toward greatness on Saturday.
The Clippers' game seven win against the defending champions was one of the biggest performances of Paul's career, and it may very well be the most important game of his legacy.
Paul brought a big time performance with 27 points, six assists and two steals in the Clippers' 111-109 victory against the Spurs. He didn't just seal the win with a gamewinning basket, he sealed the series. And, perhaps most impressively, with an injured hamstring.
But for Paul, the job isn't done.
The Clippers now face the Houston Rockets, a team that has much less playoff experience than, the Spurs. Even as a sixth seed the year the Spurs were of the few teams that could bring home the title, the Clippers knocked them off, proving they can beat anybody.
The Clippers have an elite sixth man in Jamal Crawford, as well as two star big men in Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan in the starting lineup, giving Paul the help that he needs.
Even as a big critic of Paul in the past, that game seven performance gave me a lot of confidence in him and his team. If he were able to do the same against the Rockets, there really would be no way to argue against him as the best true point guard in the league.
He has always had the skill, now he's having the success. Overall, we shouldn't think of Paul any differently from a skill standpoint, but as far as winning when it matters, CP3 may have figured out how to get the job done. This season may prove to be Paul's best opportunity to win a championship, but just by making it there, he will have totally rewritten the narrative around his career.

NFL draft offers lots of intrigue, little shock

@derek_skillett
Senior corner back JaCorey Shepherd celebrates with senior linebacker Ben Heeney after a play. Shepherd was selected in the sixth round of the NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, and Heeney was selected in the fifth round by the Oakland Raiders. Cornerback Dexter McDonald was drafted in the seventh round also to Oakland.

The 2015 NFL draft is in the books. Thirty-two NFL franchises chose the players who would lead them into the future. Although there were few surprises to begin the draft, there were a lot of fascinating storylines that emerged from the three-day event.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers began the first round of the draft Thursday night by selecting Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston with the top-overall pick. Winston was accused of raping a woman in 2012 and currently faces a civil lawsuit. Despite a controversial reputation off the field, the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner will be expected to be the franchise quarterback for a quarterback-lacking Tampa Bay team.
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
The Tennessee Titans selected Marcus Mariota, Oregon quarterback and 2014 Heisman Trophy winner, with their No. 2 overall selection, marking the first time in the common draft era that two Heisman Trophy winners had been selected with the first- and second-overall picks in an NFL draft.
On the other hand, Louisiana State offensive lineman Lael Collins ultimately went undrafted. He faces questioning by police regarding the murder of a 29-year-old woman and her baby, although Collins is not a suspect in the case. He was a projected first-round draft pick by many analysts.
But a number of other controversial prospects did get drafted. Nebraska linebacker Randy Gregory had tested positive for marijuana at
the 2015 NFL Combine and dropped out of first-round discussion as a result. However, Dallas Cowboys owner, general manager and president Jerry Jones decided to draft Gregory in the second round.
Missouri defensive end Shane Ray was also charged with marijuana possession during the week of the draft, but still got selected by the Denver Broncos in the first round.
Oklahoma and former Missouri wide receiver Dorial
Green-Beckham was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the second round of the draft, although he was a magnet for controversy throughout his brief college career. He was dismissed from Missouri after multiple failed drug tests and was strongly suspected of attempting to break into his girlfriend's apartment and pushing a woman down the stairs in the process. Green-Beckham had not been charged in the case.
Three former Jayhawks were also among the draftees this weekend. The Oakland Raiders selected linebacker Ben Heeney in the fifth round of the draft. The Philadelphia Eagles selected cornerback JaCorey Shepherd in the sixth round. The Oakland Raiders selected cornerback Dexter McDonald in the seventh round. The three Jayhawks were the most Kansas prospects taken in an NFL draft since 2010.
The draft signaled the
unofficial beginning of the 2015 NFL season, drawing a large crowd in the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University in Chicago. New and exciting college prospects will soon take the field for the first time for rookie minicamps. Although some rounds of the draft shook out like some predicted, some controversial players certainly shrouded the event.

'Tip the Schools' receipt makes waves across country
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Hough crossed out the tip line and wrote, "Tip the schools."
Chloe Hough, a senior from Topeka, has become an Internet sensation ever since she wrote a message on a receipt to Gov. Sam Brownback on Saturday.
As a result, people across the country have been praising Hough's move with a hashtag of her note.
After her story was picked up by national news outlets like Huffington Post, NBC News, and more. Hough responded with a Facebook post:
"Wow! Guys, this whole experience has been incredible. Let's take it further. I want to do something about all, this hype for #TipTheSchools. Please donate. I will be donating all proceeds to http://kac.org/ Kansas Action for Children. Thanks!"
Hough posted a link to a GoFundMe, encouraging people to donate towards her goal of $1.000.
"Education matters! Let's make progress." Hough said on the GoFundMe page.
So far, $120 has been raised by seven people, with donations continuing to come in.
While many are applauding Hough for her move, some are seemingly upset.
Clay Barker, Kansas' top Republican party official, commented on a Facebook post about the incident:
"So you are publicizing her arrogant stupidity and utter ignorance. Typical liberal KS media."
However, Barker said that was his personal opinion, not the state party's.
"It's nothing about her," Barker said. "It's the way this thing blew up. People see it as an attack on the governor that had no basis."
Barker's biggest complaint about the situation has to do with the significance of the story.

"A person writes a comment on a receipt, and never even tried to have a conversation with the governor, who's like the nicest guy in the world, puts it on Facebook and suddenly it's all over," Barker said.

Junior University student wins Student Employee of the Year
Before Jake Rowe's freshman year began, he knew he needed to rake together some cash to pay his own way in life, so he found himself a job at the University's Molecular Bioscience lab.
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolNews
"I knew coming straight out of high school that I would need extra money," Rowe said. "I came from a small town so I knew that I had to work if I wanted to get things I wanted."
Rowe moved from Mound City, a town of 682 people, to Lawrence, which has a population of more than 90,000.
On the job, Rowe works in the molecular bioscience biostore, selling and packaging chemicals for scientists at the University to use.
"He was the first student I have had that I thought was even worthy of being nominated."
JUDI HARRIS
Jake Rowe's supervisor
Now Rowe is a junior and just last month, he won the University's 2015 Student
Employee of the Year in his position as a molecular bioscience employee. He still uses the money to pay rent and other living expenses.
"It was a good feeling, a feeling of achievement, for sure," he said. "Finally after working there for three years, it's good when people notice that you put effort into your work."
Rowe was given an engraved plaque and a $500 award in a ceremony for the honor on April 12.
As an athletic training major, Rowe doesn't study bioscience, but he still found that it's a learning experience working in the molecular bioscience department.
Judi Harris, one of Rowe's supervisors at the molecular bioscience bio-store, nominated Rowe for the award.
"He's reliable and dependable. He's always willing to pitch in," Harris said. "He's very self-motivated and definitely deserving of this award."
"He was the first student I have had that I thought was even worthy of being nominated," Harris said.
Harris received a campus-wide email with the opportunity to submit a nomination.

Room and board at University is cheapest among former Big 8
AMIE JUST
@Amie_Just
According to the Office of Admissions website, room and board cost students an average of $7,650 for the 2014-15 academic year. This is the least expensive amount among the schools that were in the Big 8 conference.
In an era when all college-related costs continues to rise, the University of Kansas Department of Student Housing uses different strategies to keep every cost down.
"I think we're competitive within the Big 12, and probably some of our former old Big 8 colleagues' rates might be a little bit higher," said
Among the former Big. 8 schools, the University of Colorado at Boulder was the most expensive, averaging $13,194 for room and board during an academic year. That's about 1.72 times the amount of room and board at Kansas.
The University of Nebraska at Lincoln and the University of Missouri were the next highest, averaging $9,961 and $9,640 per academic year.
Current Big 12 schools finished out the list with Oklahoma averaging $9,126, Oklahoma State averaging $8,710, Iowa State averaging $8,070 and Kansas State averaging
Diana Robertson, director of student housing.
"Some of that has to do with if they're building new buildings or not," Robertson said. "Certainly the rates in our new [Self and Oswald] halls are higher than our current halls."
The Department of Student Housing evaluates each decision it makes regarding mechanical systems and operating systems, Robertson said.
$8,000 in room and board for the 2014-15 academic year.
How does Kansas have lower rates than other universities?
"Do we gain more by putting in new [windows] and having higher efficiency levels, perhaps, or is it better to not spend those dollars
and leave something a little bit older a little bit longer?" Robertson said. "That's a daily part of our thinking."
Robertson said one of the things the department prides itself on is the variety of living options for students, and that variety helps give the University a lower average in room and board rates.
During the 2015-16 academic year, there will be four renovated residence hall options: Gertrude Sellards Pearson, Ellsworth, Hashinger and Lewis halls.
Corbin Hall and Oliver Hall will be the only two non-renovated holes, as McCollum

As students walk along Tennessee and Ohio streets and other blocks in the Oread neighborhood after dark, it's not unusual to see them use their smartphones to light the sidewalk, or for women to take their heels off.
Uneven sidewalks, cobblestone and few streetlights combine to make the Oread neighborhood — home to popular bars such as the Wheel, the Jayhawk Cafe, the Cave and Bullwinkles — a safety challenge for student pedestrians. Students worry about tripping or even worse. Nine years ago, a KU senior died after being hit by a car at 1 a.m. while crossing the intersection of 13th and Kentucky streets.
Lawrence police and residents say it's unlikely the homeowners or the city will spend the money to make the fixes that would improve safety. In Lawrence, property owners are responsible for most sidewalk repairs. City leaders have estimated that it would cost around $42 million to completely redo the sidewalks throughout Lawrence, including in the Oread neighborhood.
Candice Davis, president of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said she'd like to see more residents install motion lights that would turn on when triggered by pedestrian activity. She said she worries for herself and others.
"I think it is quite dangerous with traffic, the narrow roads and the uneven sidewalks," Davis said.
For Lawrence police, the neighborhood is a "major area of concern," according to Sgt. Trent McKinley. He said the absence of adequate lighting makes it hard to patrol without being an "overbearing cop" who has to shine bright flashlights on pedestrians to see what's happening. He said intersections are of particular concern since students and drivers do not always see each other.
McKinley said there has also been an upick in students being robbed in recent years as a result of darker neighborhoods, but he could not provide specific numbers.

Student Body President Jessie Pringle posted an apology on her Facebook page after a Twitter user, Rebekah Navarro, tagged two photos — one of Pringle and one of Vice President Zach George — standing next to people dressed in Native American costumes.

"Pictures are worth a thousands words. So much for 'culturally competent,' the tweet with the photo of Pringle read. "You 'care' about Native Americans but you think it's okay to treat us like a costume?" the tweet with the photo of George read.
The photos were removed from social media on Friday, Pringle said.

"This should be dealt with on a very personal level, it shouldn't be dealt with at a Senate level." Pringle said.

BALTIMORE — Days after riots crippled Baltimore, tensions again escalated Monday after police said they arrested a man who appeared to be armed. The arrest drew a crowd of protesters who chanted, "Black community, control the police!"
An officer speaks to members of the media Monday in Baltimore. Lt. Col. Melvin Russell said police pursued a man who appeared to be holding a handgun after seeing him on a surveillance camera. The man was taken into custody, which drew a crowd of protesters who began chanting "Black community, control the police!"

Russell said that police never fired their weapons and that no one was shot. Police recovered a handgun loaded with three rounds, one of which was spent. The suspect was not injured and did not want to go to a hospital, but was taken in an ambulance anyway, he said.
Live television coverage and photos tweeted from the scene showed medics putting a man in an ambulance and a large police presence' with officers lining up to apparently block one street.
who arrested him, Pugh said. The man was able to walk to a police van, where he was strapped in and taken to Central Booking, she said.
"There were no visible injuries," Pugh said, though she did not know what happened to him. The man was visibly upset, but he was able to see his mother before he was released to police.
Sen. Catherine Pugh, a Democat whose district includes the area where the situation occurred, said she went to a hospital to check on the man. She said she asked him if he was OK, and he told her he was.
The arrest happened in the same area where police first spotted Freddie Gray on April 12. He was arrested and fatally injured in police custody. Six officers were charged Friday in Gray's death.
A few dozen police officers wearing helmets and carrying shields formed a line across North Avenue as crowds gathered across the street, occasionally shouting "Control the police!" at the officers. Minutes after police briefed reporters, the line of officers left the street and police began to allow traffic through the intersection
"I think black people are always going to be skeptical
Meanwhile, about a dozen protesters briefly blocked traffic while chanting, "Kill the killer cop!" and "Black community, control the police!"
Chimurenga Waller, an activist from St. Petersburg, Florida, with the Black is Black Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations, said that even if nobody was shot, the police overreacted to the situation.
She said police did a good job defusing tensions after the incident by quickly breaking down a barricade and scaling back the number of officers on the scene. But she said
Pugh, who was nearby and arrived at the scene shortly after the incident, said she was trying to sort through conflicting narratives of what happened. She said witnesses insisted that police had shot someone, which police denied.
about stories by the police, just like we were skeptical about the story about Freddie Gray," he said.
police should consider using different enforcement tactics while tensions are still high.
"I think we need to keep police presence down at this time, especially in this area," said Pugh, a Democrat who represents west Baltimore. "I think we ought to just dial it back a little. Let's give the community a chance to heal."
James Carter, manager of Metro PCS cellphone store, said the incident happened about 5 feet from his shop on North Avenue. He heard a single gunshot and waited to hear another, but didn't.
Carter said he looked
outside and saw no sign of a gun on the sidewalk. He went back into his shop, came back out and then saw a gun on the ground. He said he also saw a young African-American man lying on the ground. Carter said he saw no blood. He said the young man yelled as he was put into the ambulance.
Carters said people are "extremely" jumpy. This is the biggest police presence at Pennsylvania and North avenues since Saturday, the last night of the curfew, he said.

Hall will be taken down this summer. Oswald and Self Halls are the two that will replace McCollum.
In contrast to the residence halls, the University offers 12 different non-coed scholarship halls — six for each gender.
There are apartment options for the upcoming academic year as well: Jayhawker Towers, McCarthy Hall Apartments and Sunflower Apartments. The Sunflower Apartments are a little different, as the residents pay monthly rates, unlike the other campus apartments, Like McCollum, Stouffer Place Apartments are slated for demolition this summer.
Another way Robertson says the University keeps costs down is through stored plans for renovations. The renovation program started in 1997 with Templin Hall and continued renovations down Engel Road, with Lewis, Hashinger and Ellsworth halls. Once Ellsworth was renovated in 2003, the department remodeled GSP on the other side of

It was really going to be more cost effective and we get a product that is designed exactly for today's students.”
campus.
During those 18 years, the department evaluated whether to renovate or build new construction. Every building was deemed suitable to renovate except McCollum, where it was determined to be more cost-effective to build new buildings, Robertson said.
"We are constantly looking at the greatest advantage." Robertson said. "It's a constant, constant, decision-making process just to see how we can really use our students' dollars to the best advantage."
In the future, the department will continue to evaluate renovation versus new construction, Robertson said.

Agents recorded the young man from Phoenix talking about fighting nonbelievers for Allah. About plans to travel to South Africa and link up with "brothers" in Somalia. About using school as a cover story for traveling overseas.
WASHINGTON — Since 2006, the FBI had been investigating Ellton Simpson — one of the men suspected in the Texas shootings outside a contest featuring cartoons of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad.
1 accused gunman in shooting outside Muhammad cartoon event was well-known to FBI
Simpson was arrested in 2010, one day before authorities say he planned to leave for South Africa. But despite more than 1,500 hours of recorded conversations, the government prosecuted him on only one minor charge — lying to a federal agent. Years spent investigating Simpson for terrorism ties resulted in three years of probation and $600 in fines and court fees.

Obama: 'There are consequences to indifference'
President announces creation of organization for young men of color
NEDRA PICKLER
JIM KUHNHENN
Associated Press
NEW YORK — In a deeply personal response to outbreaks of racially motivated protests, President Barack Obama on Monday blamed a lack of opportunity in minority communities and harsher
treatment of black and Hispanic men by police for fueling a sense of "unfairness and powerlessness."
The country's first black president called for a nationwide mobilization to reverse inequalities, and said the cause will remain a mission for the rest of his presidency and his life.
Helping launch a foundation to assist young minorities, Obama said the catalysts of protests in Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore were the deaths of black young men, and "a feeling that law is not always applied evenly in this country."
"There are consequences to indifference," Obama said.
But he said a broader sense of hopelessness is at the root of the periodic eruptions in poor communities.
"We ask police to go into communities where there is
no hope," he said. "Eventually, something happens because of the tension between society and these communities, and the police are just on the front lines of that."
The new organization, My Brother's Keeper Alliance, is an outgrowth of Obama's year-old My Brother's Keeper initiative, which has focused on federal government policies and grants designed to increase access to education and jobs.

While the effort predates the tensions in Baltimore that erupted after the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody, the significance of the new private-sector alliance has been magnified by the spotlight the riots in the city placed on low-income neighborhoods.
Over the past year, Obama has been called on to respond to what he last week referred to as the "slow-rolling crisis" of police relations with minority communities. The friction has been highlighted by Gray's death last month and Michael Brown's death last summer in Ferguson, Missouri. Gray died after sustaining a spinal cord injury while in the custody of Baltimore police. Six police officers were charged in connection with his death last week.
carrying a handgun.
"He came from a family of police officers," Obama said. "And the family of fellow officers he joined in the NYPD and across the country deserve our gratitude and our prayers, not just today but every day. They've got a tough job."
With high-profile names and an ambitious focus, the alliance is a possible building block for Obama's post-presidential pursuits. Obama has less than two years left in office and the new institution would likely sustain its work well after he leaves the White House. But White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the foundation wouldn't necessarily be the vehicle for what Obama chooses to do.
Obama described the plight of young minority men in deeply personal terms, alluding to his own youth raised by a single mother.
Still, Obama praised police officers for putting their lives on the line and singled out Brian Moore, a 25-year-old New York City police officer shot in the head over the weekend while attempting to stop a man suspected of
directors.
"I grew up without a dad. I grew up lost sometimes and adrift, not having a sense of a clear path," he said, adding that he was lucky because he was in an environment where people cared for him.
"Really that's what this comes down to, do we love these kids?" he said.
"The White House will not be involved in determining what their fundraising policies should be," Earnest said. He said that the board would be "well aware of the priorities the president has placed on transparency."
The White House sought to distinguish the operation of the organization from Bill and Hillary Clinton's family foundation, whose financing has attracted criticism. Earnest said decisions about who could give to the group and the reporting of donations would be made by the board of
The new alliance will be led by Joe Echevarria, the former chief executive of Deloitte, the giant accounting and consulting firm. The alliance already has obtained financial and in-kind commitments of more than $80 million from such companies as American Express, Deloitte, Discovery Networks, and Fox News parent company News Corp., the White House said.

The alliance board is a who's who of the sport, corporate and entertainment world. Singer songwriter John Legend is the alliance's honorary chairman; former Miami Heat star Alonzo Mourning is a member of the board. The alliance's advisory council will include former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former Attorney General Eric Holder and Sen. Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, the mayors of Indianapolis, Sacramento and Philadelphia, as well as former NFL player Jerome Bettis and former basketball standout Shaquille O'Neal.
While in New York, Obama also taped an appearance on CBS "Late Show with David Letterman" and was attending Democratic Party fundraisers.

Death penalty should be avoided for Tsarnaev
Maddy Mikinski
@Miss Maddy
When I found out about the Boston Marathon bombings, I was sitting in my high school American History class. Our teacher informed us of what had happened and we followed the story. Two years later and I'm still following the story.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston bomber suspect, went from the sidelines of the 2013 Boston Marathon to a 2015 courtroom. His trial has garnered national attention and his impending sentence divided the country. From the beginning of the trial, the debate has not been whether Tsarnaev is guilty or innocent — it is whether he should be sentenced to death or life in prison. His older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who the defense credits with orchestrating the bombings, was killed in April 2013 following an intense manhunt through Boston.
I am very proud of my role as a legal professional. I have helped to build the foundation of modern law and provide a high-quality service to our clients. I am also an active member of the legal community, where I work on complex cases and contribute to discussions about important legal issues. My passion for law is evident in my dedication to ensuring that clients receive the best possible legal care. I am confident that I will continue to be a valuable partner to you in your legal endeavors.
At this point, 53 percent of Americans said that Tsarnaev should receive capital punishment, according to a poll by
CNN Points. During the sentencing phase of the trial, the prosecution worked to further their case by bringing in victims and medical professionals who were at the crime scene to describe the after-effects of the bombings. The prosecution's goal throughout the sentencing phase is to paint Tsarnaev as a cold-blooded killer who deserves death row.
STEVEN SENNE/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Defense attorneys Miriam Conrad, left, and David Bruck leave federal court in Boston Monday during the penalty phase in the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Tsarnaev was convicted of the Boston Marathon bombings that killed three and injured more than 260 people in April 2013.
The state of Massachusetts disagrees. According to a poll by The Boston Globe, about less than 20 percent of the Boston residents agree with the prosecution. The same poll found that 63 percent of Bay Staters side with the defense and agree that Tsarnaev should be sentenced to life in prison. Bill and Denise Richard, whose 8-year-old son was killed in the bombings, have also agreed that the death penalty should be avoided.
While the prosecution has made many poignant and indisputable points during the trial process, the jury should listen to those opposing the death penalty.
Those against a life sentence argue that Tsarnaev's death would provide closure for Boston residents and bombing survivors. Since 2013, the city has seemed confident in its ability to move on without Tsarnaev's death. In a poll taken by The Globe less than six months after the bombings occurred,
only 33 percent of residents preferred the death penalty. Since the beginning, putting Tsarnaev to death has never been a top priority for Boston. It isn't even a priority for the survivors. Bombing survivor Rebekah Gregory said Tsarnaev's execution would not provide any kind of closure.
The Richard family said if a death sentence is handed down, their family would never be able to move on. The couple predicts that a
death sentence would bring more appeals and further media coverage. Seeing Tsarnaev in the spotlight during additional legal processes would hinder any attempts their family has made toward moving on.
While most of America has spoken out in favor of the death penalty, the city of Boston and survivors should be the ones receiving attention and consideration from the jury. Tsarnaev should be
sent to a maximum-security prison where he can live without the fame that would accompany an execution. The execution of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev would not work to mend Boston or provide closure for the victims. Therefore, the death penalty should be avoided in favor of life in prison.

People are defined by more than just a label
It's not difficult to understand that each of us wants to be acknowledged and accepted the same as every other person. This includes everyone: whites, blacks, Hispanic, male, female, gay, transgender, slim, athletic, curvy - the list goes on. We must remember that these words, however, do not define us, but are rather characteristics that, among other things, shape us as individuals. When we dwell excessively on these labels and how to achieve equality, we lose the importance of the person behind that label.
Monica Saha
@sahahahahaha
A common sentiment offered to individuals who are battling the road to
acceptance is "you are so brave." Alison Piepmeier, director of the Women's and Gender Studies program at the College of Charleston, said in her article about suffering from a brain tumor, "I'm not simply brave because I have a tumor." She writes how she feels less human when hearing these words. For Piepmeier, when individuals say, "She's so brave, I could never do that," it translates to, "I'm glad I'm not going through a medical nightmare like that." She feels she is just an ordinary human wanting her cancer cells to die.
Sometimes, over-emphasis on equality or acceptance for one group can inversely discriminate the other. For example, in 2004, The Dove Campaign for Real Beauty responded to the trend
of editing models to look "perfect" and "unnatural" by launching its worldwide marketing campaign to celebrate all women having the confidence to be comfortable with themselves and their bodies. Recent online blogs like EliteDaily advocate for "thick thighs" and assert that it's actually better to have broader bodies. Meghan Trainor's 2014 hit "All About That Bass" depicts men preferring a curvier woman. She sings, "You know I won't be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll." Despite intending to promote inclusivity, these examples show that being bigger is better than being skinny. But people need to realize that all shapes are beautiful.
Last week on "20/20," Diane Sawyer interviewed
former Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner on his gender transition. As he told Sawyer, "I'm not stuck in anybody's body. I'm just who I am as a human being." A plethora of celebrities and individuals applauded Jenner for his bravery and courage to go through this process. Jenner did indeed achieve a brave feat and gave courage to others who might be struggling with similar issues. It's important to know, however, that Jenner reminded us that he is just a human being. We should not define individuals with one- or two-word labels. We should not forget that every individual will accomplish many more great feats and that one big announcement does not determine who they will be forever.
We are a society that obseses over labels. We might describe people by saying, "She is lesbian" or "He has cancer," to those who do not know them. This is the root of the problem. Instead of using labels, we need to be aware of how we talk about one another. We are defined by our personalities rather than the colors of our skin, health conditions, genders, etc. This world will be a better a place when we can acknowledge that we have the same end goal: to be respected and accepted by our peers.

THIS IS THE VOICE'
Former Voice contestant
to perform at The Bottleneck
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO/UKE WADE
Luke Wade, who was a contestant on the television show "The Voice," will be performing at The Bottleneck tonight. Wade competed on season seven of the show, finishing in the top eight.
THE EVENT
Wade's show is tonight at the Bottleneck located at 737 New Hampshire St. Tickets are still available at $13 in advance and $15 at the door. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the show starts at 9 p.m. For more information, visit thebottlenecklive.com.

Luke Wade, a former contestant on "The Voice," will perform at The Bottleneck night. Wade released his most recent album, "The River," before competing, and is finally able to tour to promote it.
He's performed on national television in front of Pharrell Williams, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani. He's taken the stage with legendary singer-songwriter Patti Labele. Now, he's making a stop in Lawrence tonight at the Bottleneck.
Luke Wade is a pop/soul singer from Fort Worth, Texas, and he competed on season seven of NBC's "The Voice." Unfortunately, Wade didn't win the competition but he finished in the top eight. One of his defining moments was his audition, which wowed the judges.
"There's like four of them watching you and at one moment," Wade said. "It's like your mom being proud of you."
"It was like having a really hard job that everyone knew you were doing," he said. "It was tons of work and lots of working."
Wade looks back at his time during "The Voice" fondly but admits it was a lot of hard work, along with the added pressure of his progress being televised.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO/LUKE WADE
Wade has always loved music but didn't try making it himself until he was 17 years old. Wade enjoys all types of music and said his inspirations include Otis Redding, Martin
Sexton and the Beatles.
Throughout his life, Wade has encountered his fair share of hard times. As a child, he had a bout with spinal meningitis, a painball accident left him blind in one eye, and he had a stroke as a teenager. However, he said the biggest thing he's had to overcome is believing in himself.
Each year, the Susan G. Komen foundation selects an artist to record a song and music video for its fundraising campaign. This year, Wade was chosen, following last year's selection of Josh Groban.
"It's an incredible honor to be considered inspirational for people to get through the hardest parts of their lives." Wade said.
"I've been through a lot," Wade said. "I've had a lot of failed segments in my career, but the biggest thing I've had to overcome was doubt."
"It's a songwriter's approach to soul music," he said. "I try to make it a show with high highs and really connective lows."
As far as what to expect at the Bottleneck, Wade describes his live shows as "bombastic." His shows are full of horn sections, drums and bass.
During his show, he'll be performing songs from both of his albums, "Tomorrow's Ghosts" and "The River."
"The River," Wade's most
recent album, was released about a year ago, before Wade competed on "The Voice" Wade never got a chance to tour the album and is happy to finally have time to promote it. The album includes songs that college students can surely relate to, he said.
"The River is a collection of songs that are geared towards people who are transitioning from kids to adults," Wade
said. "There's a song about being on a date, there's a song about being in a relationship. There's a song about having a friend of the opposite sex and becoming intimate and eventually you lose your friend."
Yet another challenge Wade faces is being an independent artist, considering artists usually have a hard time promoting themselves. Wade is no different — he cites being his
own brand as the hardest part of being a musician.
"You're forced to sell yourself and your product," he said. "Lots of people do it for free but there's only one of you. You can't compete against everyone else. It can be difficult to be yourself at times, but it's the only way to make a career."

Alumna launches online gift shop for women
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
Two sisters, 12 years apart, never dreamed they would launch an online gift shop catered to gifts for women. Last March, that's exactly what they did.
University alumni Allison Loftus and her older sister Amy Sullivan launched VelvetCrate, an online gift shop with gift boxes catered to women. Currently, there are three signature gift boxes: Love, Just Because and Celebrate, ranging in cost from $50 to $68 with shipping included.
"It's wrapped, there's a handwritten note and it goes straight to mom." Loftus said. "That whole process of going to pick out the gift, wrapping it and going to the post office can be really daunting. You've got several gifts that cover all those things that mom loves."
With Mother's Day less than a week away, Loftus said any of these boxes would make a perfect present for mom to unwrap.
Sullivan said they've made the gift-giving process exceptionally simple, especially for last-minute shoppers since the gift will be there in, at most, three days.
"It's a seamless process for ordering it," Sullivan said.
"We include free shipping and we do really fast delivery. For customer service, it's us. When people have questions, we can meet customers' needs because we're the one's making decisions. We make it very simple."
Inspired by her time spent on Massachusetts Street in Lawrence, Loftus said she always loved purchasing gifts and dreamed of opening her own gift store one day.
"I loved collecting gifts, and I always had a passion for picking out little gift items," she said. "I moved to Texas and was a teacher for about eight years, but my dream was to open up my own gift store."

the University of Arizona and has her master's degree in counseling from Kansas State University, but she insists she's a Jayhawk through and through. Sullivan said they haven't deviated much from their original business plan from more than a year ago.
Sullivan had previous experience opening a business as she created a transitional living home in Kansas for women recovering from eating disorders. She attended
Once she decided to pursue her dream, Loftus approached her sister about the startup. Loftus handles the creative side of things while Sullivan handles more of the business side of things.

"We have learned along the way and there's been a few things we've changed, especially on the operations end, my end," Sullivan said. "Initially we thought wed be geared towards men and we learned pretty quickly that women were going to be our customers. Any change has been really positive."
Loftus said as the business grows, she hopes they'll create more box options and offer individual gifts. One special-edition box currently for sale is the Kansas City box, and Loftus said they're in the process of creating a Father's Day box. Additionally she said she hopes to have a back-to-school box for younger, college-aged women.
"We just want to keep growing and expanding the types of things we can do," Loftus said. "Creating a really solid online gift is what I'd love to do, where it's not just the collections, where you're ordering gifts of their own."

For whatever reason, be it the thought of a far-away fairytale or a relief from the stress of our everyday lives, we're fascinated by the Royal Family. When the couple's first child, Prince George, was born in 2013, the fanfare lasted for weeks. Now that a princess is here, we're thrilled again.
The name Charlotte is also the middle name of Kate's younger sister Pippa Middleton.
When Kate and William tied the knot in 2011, about 23 million Americans stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to watch the ceremony live. Maybe it's because the couple is constantly at public events surrounded by regular citizens. Maybe it's because the Duchess isn't from an exceptionally well-known family. Who knows, but the obsession is real.
Prince William and his younger brother Harry are two years apart and have always seemed close. Kate Middleton and her sister are also two years apart and are reportedly very close. Since Prince George and his new little sister Charlotte are 21 months apart, hopefully the two will share a similar bond.

World welcomes a new royal baby: Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana
Between the turbulence in Baltimore and the looming
Edited by Emma LeGault
black hole that is finals week, the birth of a princess to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge brought a much-needed smile to many around the world.
The Evening Standard, a publication in London, speculated that the couple chose the name Charlotte because it's a feminine form of Charles, who is William's father and the Prince of Wales. Elizabeth is a reference to Prince William's grandmother, the Queen. Diana, of course, is for William's late mother.
Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton welcomed their second child, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, on Saturday. The princess is fourth in line for the throne.
Some on social media said they hoped for the name Diana after William's late mother, Princess Diana of Wales. When Charlotte's name was announced in full, it seems they were relieved that Diana was included in her name.
Kensington Palace tweeted, "Welcome to the Family" with photos of the Duke and Duchess holding their baby girl.
The account also tweeted that the princess will be known formally as Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"It's going to be a long season between both these teams: We both never quit, we've both got great offense and great pitching. And we've got to go out there and find a way to beat each other."
Mike Moustakas via Kansas City Star
FACT OF THE DAY
The Royals have had back-to-back 80 win seasons for the first time in franchise history.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many players have hit multiple home runs already this season?
A. 6 — Cain, Moustakas, Perez,
Morales, Hosmer and Gordon all
have three home runs each.
Royals.com
THE MORNING BREW
Royals need to have great month to be successful
The month of the May has been a critical month for the Rovals over the past few
occidentally missed the Royals over the past few seasons. Even with last year's team making the World Series, the Royals did end up having a below .500 record during the month. Unsuccessful performances during this month have kept the Royals from winning the division the past several seasons.
With the Royals having one of their best starts in franchise history, if they stay on track and have a successful month, they get closer to being back into the MLB Playoffs.
Last season, the Royals were 14-13 going into the month of May. The first four games of the month, the Royals lost all of them, and three of those losses were to AL Central rival Detroit. The Royals were also swept against Houston later in the month.
Dylan Sherwood
@dmantheman2011
This resulted in the Royals going from one game above.500 entering the month to three games below .500 at 26-29 going into the summer months of the season.
The 2013 season was no different, and before May, the Royals were in playoff contention. But they finished five-and-a-half games out of the Wild Card. The difference? The Royals went 8-20 during May.
Kansas City currently sits at a 16-9 overall record, sitting a half of a game back from Detroit for first place in the AL Central. The two teams met for the first time this past weekend, with each team winning two games each.
The team has also had issues with
suspensions and a lack of healthy players. Lorenzo Cain dropped his appeal on his suspension on Sunday and started his two-game suspension that same day and will be able to return on Wednesday in game two of the mid-week series with the Cleveland Indians. Yordano Ventura is currently serving his seven-game suspensi and will return in the Detroit serl
Greg Holland is getting very close to returning, and could do so tonight against the Indians. Holland was scheduled to throw in a simulated game on Saturday according to CBSports.com. Allicides Escobar was put on the seven-day concussion list this past weekend and could return for the following series in Detroit.
Players like Kendrys Morales, Eric
THE BREW
Hosmer, Alex Gordon, Mike Moustakas and Paulo Orlando need to keep performing for the Royals throughout this month,because of all of the teams' suspensions and injuries.
Kansas City will play
against the Yankees twice, the Rangers, the Cardinals, the Cubs and the Reds, as well as the Indians and the Tigers this month.
The majority of these teams have winning records to start the season, but the way Kansas City has played as of late, this could be their best May in quite a while.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Edited by Miranda Davis
Should Stephen Curry have won the MVP?
Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes
YES
The Most Valuable Player award goes beyond who scored the most points or grabbed the most rebounds. The MVP should be the player who contributes the most to his team. Stephen Curry put up great numbers and kept pushing his team forward, making him the most valuable player in the league.
base player in the league.
This season, Curry scored 23.8 points per game, eighth in the NBA. His 7.7 assists per game was seventh in the league, two steals per game was fourth, and his 3.6 three-pointers made per game put him at the top of the league. He set a record for most three-pointers made in a season, shattering his own record he set just last year.
His turnover percentage was just 14.3 percent, 18th among players who played 80 or more games. James Harden was turning the ball over 14.9 percent of his possessions while playing more minutes.
Curry's impact on the Warriors,however,goes far
beyond his numbers. He assisted on 38.4 percent of his possessions, helping four other Warriors to average double figures in points on the season. He also had a true shooting percentage of 63.8 percent, the highest in his career. When he took shots, he made them; and when he passed to his teammates, they scored.
Curry's MVP case is about more than just his ability to score. On a Warriors team that was coming off a tumultuous offseason with a new coach, Curry was the rock that held all the players on the same page.
As a point guard, he ran the offense almost flawlessly from the first tip, and he needed to. The Warriors started the season with a completely new offense, and by the first game, Curry was running it like he'd been learning it for years.
The impact of a truly great player should be felt most strongly when he competes against the other greats. Against some of the top defenders in the league, Curry scored and assisted even more than he did on average. Against Patrick Beverley and the Rockets, he averaged 25.8 points and 8.3
assists per game
Against Ricky Rubio,
Zach LaVine and the
Timberwolves, he averaged
26.3 points and 7.0 assists per
game. Against Eric Bledsoe
and the Suns, he averaged
29.3 points and 6.8 assists.
Not only can Curry score.
Not only can Curry score,
"THE WARRIORS STARTED THE SEASON WITH A ... NEW OFFENSE, AND BY THE FIRST GAME, CURRY WAS RUNNING IT LIKE HE'D BEEN LEARNING IT FOR YEARS.
he can defend, he can assist,
he can steal and he can run
an offense. Curry plays his
best when the lights are
brightest and he helps his
teammates do the same.
The mark of an MVP isn't his numbers or his star power; it's that "V" part.
And no player was more valuable to his team than Stephen Curry.
Edited by Chandler Boese

@Ncouz
NO
Monday morning the NBA named Stephen Curry its Most Valuable Player. Curry is deserving of the award, no doubt; however, James Harden is even more deserving. When the NBA picks an MVP, they should look at how that team would fare without the MVP.
"CURRY IS DESERVING OF THE AWARD... HOWEVER, JAMES HARDEN IS EVEN MORE DESERVING."
When you look at the past two MVPs, Kevin Durant in 2014 and LeBron James in 2013, they were the most important players on their teams, as we have seen this year. As we all know, LeBron is no longer on the Heat; he's back in Cleveland. With no LeBron this year, the Heat missed the playoffs. Same thing goes for Kevin Durant and the Thunder. He was
out most of this season and the Thunder didn't make the playoffs. The team had to rely on Russell Westbrook.
James Harden singlehandedly brought the Rockets into the playoffs as a two seed in the Western Conference. That's an accomplishment in itself. The Rockets struggled with health issues all season. Dwight Howard was on-and-off injured, as was Donatas Motiejunas. Patrick Beverly developed health issues after all-star weekend.
The second-best performer on the Rockets, Josh Smith, didn't even get to them until the second half of the year. Without Harden, the Rockets would be nowhere close to making the playoffs without him, especially as a two seed. If you look at Golden State and Curry, the Warriors have arguably the deepest bench in the NBA.
If you take Curry off the Warriors, they still have Klay Thompson, Draymond Greene, Andre Iguodala and David Lee. Warriors, most importantly, suffered no significant injuries like the Rockets did. Those starting five could be a seven or eight seed in the West.
Curry has definitely had
many plays this season that left NBA fans speechless, but to get wins, a team needs points, and Harden scored more points this season then Curry. Harden had a total of 2,217 points-- nearly 317 more points than Curry's 1,900.
To finish the season, Harden finished with 40 points or more in three of the last six games. Harden is currently averaging 27 points, seven assists and six rebounds per game. That is something only the greats like LeBron and Michael Jordan can do. His points per game average leads the league and his assist average puts him in the top ten among shooting guards in the NBA according to basketball-reference roc
The Rockets have scored 106 points per 100 possession in Harden's 1,013 minutes according to NBA.com. But during his 298 minutes on the bench, the Rockets scored less than 88 points per 100 possession. Not only does he excel on the offensive side of the ball, but on the defensive as well. Harden's excellent season shows he deserves to be the NBA MVP more than Stephen Curry.

COMMENTARY
Kansas recruiting needs to focus on quarterback
Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
Five seasons have come and gone since Kansas football cracked the
top 90 out of only 120 college football offenses.
You can chalk up the disappearance of a passing offense any way you want: inconsistent coaching, lack of playmakers, or empty stands. But the passing game deficiencies can all be traced back to one place: the dearth of success at the quarterback position.
Of course, the defense hasn't been perfect either — when you win only three games in one season, no facets of the game are perfect. But in recent history it's been better than the offense. The Jayhawks had three members of last year's defense drafted this weekend to prove that.
VISIT KANSAN.COM OR FOLLOW @KANSANSPORTS TO VOTE FOR #FACEOFTHESTREAK
Last year, the quarterback was the main snag on the Jayhawks' squad.
All four of quarterback Montell Cozart's interceptions against Texas last season put the Longhorns within 30 yards of the end zone, dooming the defense each time. The Jayhawks would have easily won that game and coach Charlie Weis may have kept his job for one more week if not for Cozart's performance.
Weis may have even kept his job through the West Virginia game, too, if the quarterbacks
— Cozart, Michael Cummings and T.J. Milweard — hadn't combined for only four yards per attempt and 111 passing yards on the day. The worst part of this game was the time of possession for each team; West Virginia possessed it for almost two-thirds of the game, making it impossible for the Kansas defense to catch its breath.
In this fast-paced, custom air-raid offense implemented by Likens, he's going to need an athletic quarterback who can make quick decisions, keep his energy level up, and make the easy throws.
Filling the quarterback position is what the Jayhawks should be coveting as their coaches set out on their recruiting journeys over the coming weeks. It's been three years since Kansas recruited Cozart from Bishop Miege, and with new coach David Beaty eyeing a long stay at Kansas, it's of the utmost importance that he and offensive coordinator Rob Likens get their guy.
Although stars and ratings aren't everything when it comes to recruits, the team hasn't had a four-star quarterback since it hit the top 90 college football passing offense in 2009 under Kansas legend Todd Reesing. That paid off pretty well, and it's probably not a coincidence.
Though this staff has been very animated about getting out there and recruiting, this spring, they need to be looking for one thing: the next player that will wear the crimson and blue under center.

Jayhawks prepare for toughest conference test of season

Kansas baseball (20-28) will travel to Evanston, Ill., to play its final nonconference series of the regular season against the Northwestern Wildcats (15-31).
The two-game series starts tonight followed by a game Wednesday. Coach Ritch Price and his players plan to utilize the additional game to prepare for their toughest test in Big 12 conference play, Texas Christian University.
"The reason I scheduled this series is because TCU has the best pitching in our conference and maybe one of the three or four best pitching
staffs in America," Price said.
stants in America, Price said. The Jayhawks will travel to Fort Worth, Texas this weekend to square off against the league-leading Horned Frogs. The series against TCU will be crucial for the Jayhawks as they will likely need to avoid a sweep to be able to qualify for the Big 12 Championship in Oklahoma City.
Typically, Price prefers playing a single game series during the week, saying the mix of seeing game speed pitching along with practice is best for his players.
"I coach at a place where we have to develop our guys every day," Price said, "We have to compete, and we have to grind."
However, since the Jayhawks have such an important matchup against the best team in the conference, he scheduled a two-week series so the team could have more practice before the weekend matchup.
"The reason for the two game series is to play Tuesday and Wednesday to see more game speed, more reps at the plate, and more at bats to prepare for the velocity were going to see this weekend." Price said. "It's that pro mentality that if you play every day you can hit 93 [mph], 94 [mph] and you can stay behind the breaking ball."
The Jayhawks have won every game in the history of
the Kansas—Northwestern matchup. Kansas is 5-0 all time against the Wildcats and will look to continue their perfect record.
Both squads are coming off similar weekends, where they put themselves in positions to win their respective matchups, but faltered in Sunday's games with double-digit losses.
The Wildcats managed a rubber match against the No. 12 ranked Nebraska team (in RPI rankings) but were shut out in their final game of the series, losing 11-0.
Much like their opponent, the jayhawks had an opportunity to take the series against Baylor at home but were beaten 14-4 while giving up three
home runs.
The layhawks hope to shake off the weekend loss and gain some momentum as they prepare for their final stretch of the season.
"We need to prepare for [TCU's] pitching because they have the best pitching in the conference," Price said, "I hope it pays off because obviously we're going to have to score to win."
The first pitch of the series against Northwestern is scheduled for 3 p.m. today at Rocky Miller Park in Evanston, Ill.

Tim Melia shows promise as goalie in Sporting KC win
When you see "The Play," you think one play, one moment, which defined a game. It wouldn't be overly difficult to find a moment that could describe Sporting KC's 1-0 win over Chicago Fire. Maybe it's Sporting KC Paul Nagamura's goal, or Chicago Fire David Accam's red card, or the near-goal early on which was delected painfully off of the crossbar.
But the story of this game goes beyond a single moment. It would actually be more accurate to call this story "The Player."
GRIFFIN HUGHES
@GriffinJHughes
Luis Marin was the man between the sticks for Sporting KC all year, playing every minute of every game. But amidst questions about his decisiveness and distribution, manager Peter Vermes decided to give him a break. The man he replaced him with was Tim Melia, a 28-year-old American. In his last outing, he received a red card with Chivas, and he hadn't started in a year.
Melia established himself in the first minute of the game, flying out of his goal and clearing a lofted shot with his head 20 yards away from his line. He made a jaw-dropping diving save, reading the downward angle of a knuckled shot to narrowly block away an attempt by the Fire.

And that was in the first 20 minutes.
Not only did he make tremendous saves on his line, he proved just as effective off of it. Several times he found himself 20, 25, even 30 yards away from his goal clearing long passes or saving potential breakaways. He played at center-back depth when KC was on offense, and was decisive and aggressive when his number was called.
above the line of white and blue to punch the shot away, then he warded away a quick shot before diving on the rebound to save a goal.
His teammates weren't even bothered by it, with Roger Espinoza saying "he's my teammate," and he was never worried that Melia could make an error when he was so far out of his goal.
Decisiveness from your goalie is crucial as a field player. You know what he's going to do because he commits 100 percent, and you can adjust your game accordingly. A goalkeeper is like a tone setter — an emotional backbone — his calmness and collectivity sets the tone for the game. Melia certainly set the tone for a team that got its winning goal from the most unlikely of sources.
It would be easy to point to any one of Melia's saves as "The Play," but the hard part would be picking which one. In doing that, you lose what makes the game truly special: he did it all after not starting for 365 days.

COMMENTARY Kansas recruiting needs to focus on quarterback
Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
Five seasons have come and gone since Kansas football cracked the top 90 out of only 120 college football passing offenses.
You can chalk up the disappearance of a passing offense any way you want: inconsistent coaching, lack of playmakers, or empty stands. But the passing game deficiencies can all be traced back to one place: the dearth of success at the quarterback position.
Of course, the defense hasn't been perfect either — when you win only three games in one season, no facets of the game are perfect. But in recent history it's been better than the offense. The Jayhawks had three members of last year's defense drafted this weekend to prove that.
Last year, the quarterback was the main snag on the layhawks' squad.
All four of quarterback Montell Cozart's interceptions against Texas last season put the Longhorns within 30 yards of the end zone, dooming the defense each time. The Jayhawks would have easily won that game and coach Charlie Weis may have kept his job for one more week if not for Cozart's performance.
Weis may have even kept his job through the West Virginia game, too, if the quarterbacks
— Cozart, Michael Cummings and T.J. Milweard — hadn't combined for only four yards per attempt and 111 passing yards on the day. The worst part of this game was the time of possession for each team; West Virginia possessed it for almost two-thirds of the game, making it impossible for the Kansas defense to catch its breath.

Rising tuition rates make it increasingly difficult for students to afford college. The University's tuition goes up about 8.8 percent each year, compared to a 3.5 percent increase in inflation each year, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.

former director of strategic communications.
"The issue is, can institutions continue to increase their tuition at a level higher than the rate of inflation, because consumers are not able to do that at a certain point," said Matt Melvin, vice provost of Enrollment Management.
Since 1980, the University's tuition increases about 8.8 percent each year, while inflation increases by about 3.5 percent each year, according to the University's Office of Institutional Research and Planning. If the University's tuition in 1980 increased proportionately with inflation, in-state students today would only pay $1,613.62 for the academic year, compared to $8,396 in 2013-2014, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics' inflation calculator. That means students are paying more for the same education today than 30 years ago.
"There are other factors at play, but it is undeniable that there has been a significant drop in funding from the state per student and a corresponding increase in tuition costs per student," he said.
When Martin graduated from Kansas in 2000, it was cheaper to go to any university, including Kansas. Since 2000, state support for funding per student declined by about 40 percent. The University received $15,600 per student in 2000, but now it only gets $9,500 per student.

Legislature overrides Uber bill veto; service discontinues in state
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@KellyCordingley
Uber, the ride-sharing service, announced it will no longer offer its services in Kansas after the Kansas House and Senate voted to override Gov. Sam Brownback's veto of a bill regulating the service.
On Tuesday, Brownback released a statement that said:
"As I said when I vetoed this bill, Kansas should be known as a state that welcomes and embraces innovation and the economic growth that comes with it. Overregulation of businesses discourages investment and harms the open and free marketplace. Uber, and other innovative businesses, should be encouraged to operate, grow and create jobs here in Kansas."
"The bill simply requires what most Uber customers believe already exists driver background checks, sufficient insurance to ensure passengers are protected in case of an accident and protect the liens of lenders of money to buy car used for Uber rides."

Projects covered in the report include: SSAB funding the purchase of 14 body cameras and batteries for the Kansas University Public Safety Office, passing funding for the installment of security cameras to the scholarship hall community area and active tabling in conjunction with Sexual Assault Awareness Month where members of the board handed out fliers highlighting supportive services like the Willow Domestic Violence Center and contact information for the University's Public Safety Office (PSO), according to the report.
According to Garrett Farlow, chair of SSAB, the body cameras are already in use, and the security cameras are reportedly being installed over the summer, as well as two new
light poles as part of a separate project.
Comments on changes the board might look at for next year including meeting every three weeks instead of bi-weekly or monthly were also made by Farlow.
"This has been a huge blessing in my life. It was really awesome. I've grown a lot and we've grown a lot together, too."

Advisory Board chair
Farlow and vice chair Jessica Larson also mentioned the possibility of splitting the chair position into co-chair positions to increase accountability and productivity. According to Larson, there would be an external and internal chair The external chair would work with community resources like the GaDuGi SafeCenter, while the internal chair would be in charge of University communications with organizations like PSO or the University Care Coordinator.
Larson, who will be the SSAB chair next fall, said she's looking forward to more leadership and input with co-chairs.
This school year was the first time in SSAB history where the board established officer board positions, according to the report. SSAB had a chair, vice chair, secretary and Title IX Roundtable representative.
This was also the first year the board released an end of the year report. Farlow said the goal of the document is to give future boards some direction and suggestions as to things that still need to be accomplished or evaluated. Transparency within the board was also a key element and another reason the report was written, Farlow said.
After reviewing the document with the board for criticism, Farlow brought the meeting to a close.
The board is still making changes to the document, but hopes to make it available online to the public soon.
"Thank you everybody for staying committed," Farlow said. "This has been a huge blessing in my life. It was really awesome. I've grown a lot and we've grown a lot together, too."

in the first press release, the governor praised the Legislature for the desire to protect citizens, but defended his veto.
"I also applaud the Legislature's interest in protecting the safety of our citizens. I strongly support background checks for ridesharing drivers. However, the ride-sharing industry believes the background requirement as currently written, weakens rather than strengthens, the level of scrutiny placed on its potential drivers," the release read.

TUITION FROM PAGE 1

educating students have gone to students and families, where previously, the majority has been paid for by the state government through the tax payers in the state of Kansas," Martin said.
Melvin said the state changed its stance on education after the 1980s. Initially, education was seen as benefiting the society not just the individual by spurring the economy and developing a bigger tax base. The state, therefore, supported higher education through funding and grants. By the 1990s, however, there was a complete shift; individuals were seen as benefiting from education, not society as a whole.
"You've seen a policy shift where the grants to loans is completely inverted," Martin said. "So when you look at your financial aid package today, you'll see that it's primarily loans driven, supplemented by grants. It's a shift from grants to loans and shift from society benefiting to individual students benefiting."
Students and families basing their choice of school on cost is just one impact of students and families paying more for education while their income doesn't rise with the rate of inflation and tuition.
"The tuition can run away all day long — at the end of the day, it's not about the tuition; it's about what you can afford." said Leticia Gradington, director of Student Money Management Services, which helps students learn to manage their finances. "I think students need to do what they can afford."
As a result, more students opt for community colleges. According to the Kansas Board of Regents, enrollment by Kansas residents for state universities actually decreased by about 3 percent between 2005 and 2012, while community college enrollment increased by 12 percent during the same time. Melvin said affordability became a prime factor for students choosing higher education.

However, he moved to recess after he thought he'd made a mistake and asked for a senator to make a motion to open discussion on Rana's appointment to the position after the break.
"I wanted to make sure if this was because of a rule or just precedent, so I talked to last year's parliamentarian, and there was the answer," said George.
The senators denied the motion.
"I think it is unfortunate that senators felt like their voices were not heard." Rana said. "I think a discussion would have been beneficial for everyone because I could have elaborated on my credentials and what I want to do with the position."
George said he, as well as senators who later denied the motion for open discussion, made a mistake.
"I think a week into office, Jessie and I are doing what we can moving forward to change the
image of senate," George said. "I admit that was a mistake on my part, but I believe that was a very heated moment and a lot of senators made mistakes for denying discussion."
"Moving on from this event, this demonstrates a hole in our system and I hope we bring legislation to amend the process to approve executive staff," he said. "I just failed on my part at realizing there was an opportunity to have discussion. So moving forward, we need that in the system."

Dickerson said the situation could have been handled much better. She said as Student Rights Chair, she has a responsibility to represent multiculturalism and any issue that affects students' rights.
"That discussion was cut off and a lot of people are upset," Dickerson said. "The executive staff apologized to me when they should have been apologizing to the people they were silencing."
Dickerson also said George apologized to
ner personally after she declined the motion.
"...I think he realized how detrimental it was after it happened," Dickerson said. "We need a Senate that is proactive and not reactionary, and starting from the very get-go, we've been reactionary."
So far, Dickerson is the only Senate member who has received a formal apology from the executive staff.
Student Body President Jessie Pringle said the executive staff will work on this issue and others this summer. Pringle said it will address platforms, the senate and issues concerning student body.
"We're focusing on a Senate accountability plan and legislative training for the fall," Pringle said.
George said he knows this event is just an example of how senate needs to continue to improve.
"Moving on from this event, this demonstrates a hole in our system and I hope we bring legislation to amend the process to approve executive staff," he said.

Texas Muslims on edge amid protests, contest attack
PIONEER
JAMIE STENGLE
Joseph Offutt, 20, holds a U.S. flag across the street from the Curtis Culwell Center yesterday in Garland, Texas. A man whose social media presence was being scrutinized by federal authorities was one of two suspects in the Sunday shooting at this location that hosted a cartoon contest featuring images of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad. The Islamic State group on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the attack.
Associated Press
LM OTERO/ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — When an outspoken opponent of radical Islam sought to mock Muhammad in Texas, one of the nation's largest Islamic communities, local Muslims were encouraged to ignore her, and they did.
No one protested when Pamela Geller's cartoon contest attracted about 200 people to suburban Dallas Sunday, even though some Muslims in Texas were already feeling aggrieved and fearful over growing anti-Islamic sentiment in the state.
Then, two men with attack rifles drove in from Arizona and opened fire on officers guarding the conference center in Garland. Both were shot dead, an officer was shot in the leg, and from the other side of the world, the Islamic State group made an unproven claim of responsibility.
"This is the exposure that they wanted and this is the divisiveness that they wanted to bring" said Omar Suleiman, resident scholar at the Valley Ranch Islamic Center in Irving, a Dallas suburb with a sizeable Islamic community.
"We condemn obviously the attack in the strongest terms, and we are glad that the police officer is OK," Suleiman added. "This is what extremists on both sides want; whether it's Geller or whether it's ISIS. They want this all-out war. That's not what we're about."
Anti-Islam sentiment has been reverberating in Texas, from the state Capitol to local governments. Tensions rose in Irving after the City Council endorsed one of several bills to forbid judges from rulings
based on "foreign laws."
"I think it is redundant — no law can override the Constitution," said Malik Abdul-Rahman, an Irving barber. "I think it is more intolerance and bigotry than anything."
The Islamic faith holds that any depictions of its prophet are deeply offensive, and yet Geller's contest rules sought images that engage "in criticism of and mockery of Muhammad and the belief system and ideology that underlies global jihad terrorism." She also brought in a speaker known for his outspoken criticism of Islam, Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders.
Geller, president of the New York-based American Freedom Defense Initiative, booked Sunday's event at the same venue where she led about 1,000 protesters at a January fundraiser that the Chicago-based group Sound Vision held to combat negative perceptions of Islam.
"We are standing against the most brutal, radical and extreme ideology on the face of the Earth." Geller declared.
A man with a bullhorn repeatedly called Muhammad a pedophile. One person chanted "Go back to your own countries! We don't want you here!" Another held a sign saying "Insult those who behead others."
Texas was a natural stop for Sound Vision, with more people associated with Muslim congregations, about 422,000, or 1.7 percent of its population, than any other state, according to a 2010 census by the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies. Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston each have about 155,000 Muslims adherents.
Later in January, hecklers greeted Muslims for the first time at their lobbying day at the Texas Capitol in Austin.
Republican state Rep. Molly White told her staff to ask visiting Muslims to declare allegiance to America. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott rebuked such attitudes, saying "we must have civil discourse."
But six bills addressing foreign laws, which opponents believe are anti-Muslim, are now pending in the Texas legislature. Similar legislation banning judges from violating state and federal laws has been introduced this year in almost 20 states, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Nine other states have passed them.
"...I will not stand idle and will fight with every fiber of my being against this action."
BETH VAN DUYNE Irving mayor
The lawmakers have gone out of their way to avoid mentioning Sharia, or Islamic law, but their constituents have done it for them.
"The concern is they're hearing about it, they're seeing it, they're fearful." Republican state Rep. Dan Flynn said. "They don't want this foot in the door."
Republican state Rep. Jeff Leach suggested that his bill would put limits on an Islamic tribunal in Dallas.
The panel advertises voluntary, non-binding arbitration to resolve disputes among Muslims in accordance with both Sharia traditions and U.S. law, and says similar religious tribunals have helped the American Jewish and American Christian faith communities resolve disputes for decades.
"Some people will tell you: Is this really a problem? Is this a solution looking for a problem?" Leach said as he promoted his bill at the Texas Faith and Family Day rally in Austin in February. "We want to codify that, to ensure that
there is no judge in Texas who should even think twice about violating the Texas or United States Constitution."
Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne weighed in on Facebook, saying she would investigate rumors of a Sharia law court in her city, and that if "there are violations of basic rights occurring, I will not stand idle and will fight with every fiber of my being against this action." It turned out that an imam from Irving served on the Dallas panel.
Muslims remain anxious and the community is on alert. A man was beaten leaving Monday night prayers at a mosque in Richardson, another Dallas suburb. Police are investigating.

LAPTOPS IN CLASS

Classroom laptop use benefits learning
Matthew Clough
@mcloughsofly
T the collegiate classroom environment is evolving. With new advances in
technology, the learning experience has become digital, and the breadth of available information is growing. Students who went to college a decade ago are probably jarred by what's available now; just as 10 years from now our educational experience will seem outdated. With these developments, it's ridiculous that laptop usage in classrooms is still viewed as problematic by some.
Using laptops in a classroom setting is simply the next wave in a technological education. Being able to connect to the Internet or access documents for note-taking should be viewed as supplemental to learning, and not as a hindrance.
When it comes to taking notes, having a laptop in class is clearly a benefit. According to findings reported by the Houston Chronicle, the average typing speed is around 40 words per minute. Compared with the average writing speed of 22 words per minute while copying text, according to the book Human-computer Interface Design Guidelines, using a laptop ensures students can record all of the necessary information, which is particularly important in large lecture halls where it's easy to fall behind.
It's not all just about note-taking. Having a laptop in class allows students access to the Internet and the wealth of information it provides. If a professor mentions a supplementary article or topic during a lecture, it's easy to find the additional material online so you can further understand the lecture's content.
It's also detrimental to assume information presented by a professor is the absolute truth. Many disciplines have a wide array of perspectives and interpretations on certain subjects, and your professor may only present one argument. Having access to the Internet and databases of scholarly journals can provide you with other views, further increasing your knowledge of a subject if used effectively.
Laptops can even be beneficial in small classroom settings. Readings and notes required for smaller classes can be accessed online, reducing the amount of material students would otherwise need to print out.
According to research by University of Michigan professor Perry Samson, laptops can increase student productivity and engagement if the professor sets the right atmosphere. Granted, there is the possibility that having laptops in class can lead to distraction, but this is an issue with individual students. If used responsibly, laptops can enhance an increasingly technological education. Students and professors alike should embrace the benefits provided by laptops and the Internet.
Laptop use in class hinders performance

@ceciliacho92
Almost every class I've taken at the University allows laptops and tablets to be
laptops and tablets to be used for note-taking. I'm sure it's rare to come across a class that bans them completely. It's the 21st century and technology is a part of our daily lives, so naturally it makes sense that our classrooms join the movement as well. However, at a certain point we have to draw the line and realize that bringing our devices to class is too distracting, not just to you, but to others around you as well. Typing is also less effective for retaining conceptual information than writing with a pen or pencil.
The majority of my fellow students use laptops during class, and as one would expect, they are not only being used for note-taking. I sit in the back of one of my classes and can see everything that everyone is doing on their computer, whether I want to or not. iMessage, Facebook and Twitter are the three most common things I see on peoples' screens. It's difficult not to notice what people are doing on their computers, especially when they are constantly moving from page to page, or typing furiously to their friends on Mac's messaging system. Is it really that difficult to stay off of your social media accounts for a
few hours out of the day? When you think about it, students are choosing to pay hundreds of dollars to sit in a classroom and use their computer for social media. Put in that context, does that not sound absolutely ridiculous?
in addition, physically writing your notes can be better for one's academic performance. The Association for Psychological Science found "...taking notes by hand is better than taking notes on a laptop for remembering conceptual information over the long term." Results from APS' study stated that both types of note-takers did "equally well on questions that involved recalling facts" but those who choose to take notes on their computer performed much worse on conceptual questions.
If someone wants to look up further information on what his or her professor is lecturing on, save it until you're out of the classroom. If you can't remember the discussion after your class ends, quit using your laptop in class and work on improving your memory by taking notes the old-fashioned way.
Just because technology is easily available doesn't mean we should just forget about "old school" methods. I choose to leave my laptop and tablet device at home when I'm going to class and actually enjoy writing my notes. We must remember that convenience isn't always the better option.

Shopping at co-ops supports local communities
Gabrielle Murnan
@GabrielleKansan
PETER HARRISON
You open your fridge and all you see is a near-empty jug of
milk, some ketchup and two Bud Lights. Congratulations you are a stereotypical college student who needs to go to the grocery store.
Most college students might head straight to Walmart to go grocery shopping, but it certainly isn't the best decision for the local economy or the environment. Co-op grocery stores offer a unique opportunity for people to support local business while also supporting the environment.
A co-op is a business
owned and "democratically governed" by its members, customers or the employees, according to Neighboring Food Co-op Association. As a member of a food co-op, you have a level of power within the business.
When local people invest in a local business, money circulates through the economy. The co-op pays local farmers for products who then spend money regionally for operation and maintenance costs. Community members then spend their money buying groceries locally. When a person shops at Walmart or Dillons they place their money in the hands of an outside organization that supplies non-regional products. Coops are a smart investment in communities and local economies.
Food co-ops provide an opportunity for communities to support environmentally friendly agricultural practices. Co-ops typically supply regionally grown food, which means the distance its tomatoes travel from the farm to your table is much less than those from Walmart. The majority of the food sold at commercial grocery stores is transported about 1,500 and 2,500 miles before it arrives at the supermarket, according to the Worldwatch Institute. Shopping at co-ops can greatly reduce the carbon emissions associated with shipping food thousands of miles. Additionally, co-op suppliers typically use smaller-scale, organic farming practices. This is significantly better for the environment than large-scale, industrial agriculture, which diminishes and contaminates land.
Students at the University are lucky to live in a community with numerous types of co-ops, including housing and grocery co-ops. The University of Kansas Student
Housing Association (UK- SHA) offers four communal living spaces for students and Lawrence residents to live and learn together in a democratic environment. Students can take advantage of cooperative living environments as well as shop at The Community Mercantile, a staple of the Lawrence community since 1974
"THE MERC EXEMPLIFIES THE POWER OF PEOPLE WORKING FOR PEOPLE. WHEN WE VALUE THE CONSUMER AS A PERSON, NOT JUST AS A BUYER, COMMUNITIES AND BUSINESSES SUCCEED."
The Merc originated as an idea to increase community access to whole foods. Today, the food co-op has nearly 7,000 members and boasts annual sales of more than $11 million. The Merc exemplifies the power of people working
for people. When we value the consumer as a person, not just as a buyer, communities and businesses succeed.
The next time your refrigerator is empty, remember to support the economy and the environment. Customers can put their money where their priorities are by shopping at a co-op. If you value sustainable agriculture and an environmentally-minded business, choose co-ops when you shop.

Baha Men celebrate smash hit's anniversary

The Baha Men will celebrate the 15-year anniversary of its biggest hit, "Who Let the Dogs Out," by releasing a remix on its new album, "Ride With Me," which is set to be released later this month.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Baha Men — a Bahamian dance and reggae-pop music group — came out with its biggest hit, "Who Let the Dogs Out," in 2000. The band is celebrating the track's 15-year anniversary by releasing a "Who Let the Dogs Out" remix on its new album "Ride With Me," which will be released later in May.
Lead singer Rik Carey talked with the Kansan over Skype about his career and the group's new plans.
KANSAN: How is life in the Bahamas?
RIK CAREY: It's pretty much what you people call paradise. Generally, it's a lot about my family, life and take care of my family.
KANSAN: And you spent a while inactive in the music industry?
RC: I wouldn't say inactive because we've been in and out of the studio recording songs for the past two or three years now, and we just got a deal from Sony a few years ago. It's a six-album deal, but it was a grueling process because what happened we was started off with a plan to produce just an EP of about six songs, put it on the market and see how it does, so it ended up being a whole album. We did so many songs and all of them were so really good that the record company was pleased and based on their feedback, I guess they wanted to do a full album instead. So it's going to be dropping this month.
KANSAN: Are you excited about that?
RC: Definitely. It's been a while since we released our last album, which was in 2004. After that, that's probably when you saw Baha Men kind of die down a bit. Other than that, you might see promos and stuff, but we were doing like, festivals and shows. We are actually a group of musicians and not just some
trap act or anything. We are a good group of performance musicians. We've been doing this basically all our lives, you know. Out of the glamor and glitz part of things, you put us on the stage anywhere and we'll rock the house.
KANSAN: What is the Baha Men doing to celebrate the 15th anniversary of "Who Let the Dogs Out?"
RC: The 15th anniversary of "Who Let the Dogs Out," that's pretty awesome to me because it's the song that brought us the success internationally even though the band itself is before my time. I joined the band in 2000, which is when "Who Let the Dogs Out" came out, so since then it's been like a whirlwind. We got a very successful run of world tours from 2000 all the way to, I would say 2006, and a lot has happened, a lot of changes have happened. We met so many people, so many doors were opened up for us. There's a remix of that song that we've done, and it's kind of to celebrate that. We haven't released this yet, and I'm sure Sony will be
announcing it soon. Not only will we be celebrating the 15 years, on Friday, my home country, the Bahamas, has its first carnival. And it's going to be huge. We're going to be releasing all this info [about the new album] on Friday. We're going to be playing a concert and giving the fans a big treat.
KANSAN: During those 15 years after the song was released, did that fame ever get hard or maybe even a burden?
RC: I think in every aspect of popularity, in the celebrity lifestyle or whatever, it's a double-edged sword. You're so much in demand, sometimes it takes away from things you really love. You know, you can't eat with your loved ones. I was constantly on the road, so being away from my family was probably the hardest thing because sometimes you don't have these layovers where you can actually bring them over to hang with you. The schedule is grueling, and it's always changing. That was probably one of the hardest things for me to deal with.
KANSAN: Now that you have gone through that, are you prepared for those things with your new album coming out?
RC: Right now, it's all about continuing the legacy of the Baha Men, and I'm very excited to get back on the road and very excited to meet all these people here, for them to hear this new music and this new sound. I'm very proud of the work that has been put in by this group and with our producer, he had a lot of hands-on on each song, every detail. From the writing to the music, to every single instrument played, I really put my heart and soul into it.
KANSAN: You said weren't involved in the writing of "Who Let the Dogs Out," right?
RC: The original writer was Anselm Douglas. He wrote it in 1996. It was a big tune in the Caribbean. Our label heard this song and brought it to us. And we were like "Are you serious?" Our sound was different than that, so we had to be convinced. We had heard of it because it was a big tune in the Caribbean.
KANSAN: When you joined the band, did they tell you who actually let the dogs out?
RC: I'd say I'd leave that up to the people. The people let the dogs out. I'll have to plead the fifth on that one.
KANSAN: What direction does the group want to go with its new album?
RC: The direction of the new album is still dance and hip-hop fused all in one. What I've noticed with music nowadays, even though the stuff is more geared toward the EDM, what I notice is that music is like a cycle. There are so many things that have already been done before. This dance music (EDM) is just a spin-off of what happened in the '90s. It's revamped and more modernized. That's just how music is, with trends and fashions and everything. Now is the time, especially, when people hear this album they're going to be like, 'It's current, it's cool, it's fun,' but at the same time, it's still keeping the Bahamas and our heritage and our sound.

Google doodle honors journalist Nellie Bly
Mackenzie Clark @mclark59
Tuesday would have been the 151st birthday of Elizabeth Jane
Cochran, better known as Nellie Bly.
Bly (1864-1922) was a trailblazing journalist who pioneered the field of investigative journalism.
She got her start when she wrote a scathing response to an editorial in The PittsSburgh Dispatch in 1885. This editorial, titled "What Girls are Good For," criticized women who sought education or work outside the home.
Bly's response, which she signed "Lonely Orphan Girl," caught the eye of editor George Madden. Impressed with her work, Madden offered her a job — complete with the pseudonym, as was customary for female writers at the time.
Rather than touch on topics contemporary women wrote about, such as gardening and fashion, Bly chose to
take on bigger problems: the plight of the poor and oppressed. She took on women's issues, including one close to her heart after watching her mother struggle: the difficulties women faced in trying to divorce their husbands.
Tuesday's Google doodle featured an illustration of Bly with a song by Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs:
"We gotta speak up for the ones who've been told to shut up," she sings. "Oh, Nellie, take us all around the world and break those rules' cause
Later in her career, Bly traveled to Mexico and exposed corruption in the government. She also convinced several doctors she was mentally insane to go undercover and expose unthinkable conditions in a New York City asylum.
Although today the standards of journalism have changed and many of Bly's actions would be considered unethical, she breathed new
you're our girl... We wanna make something of ourselves, too."
life into the industry and redefined women's roles within it.
On Tuesday, Bly received praise from The Poynter Institute, as well. The Institute noted in a tweet that Bly attempted to travel around the world in 80 days, but made it in 72.
Bly forever changed the world of journalism and the world's expectations of women in her field. Happy 151st, Nellie.

NEW YORK - A painting Vincent van Gogh created while briefly working side-by-side with his friend Paul Gauguin in the south of France could sell for more than $40 million at auction Tuesday evening.
Van Gogh work could bring over $40M at NYC auction
"The Allee of Alyscamps" is being offered at Sotheby's impressionist and modern art sale. The autumnal scene was painted in 1888 during a two-month period when van Gogh and Gauguin worked together in Arles, France.
The auction record for a van Gogh, who died in 1890, is $82.5 million.
"To have a canvas from Arles by that very self-taught artist at the height of his work marks the sale as momentous," said Clifford Edwards, a van Gogh expert and professor at Virginia Commonwealth University.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The sale also features six paintings spanning four decades of Claude Monet's career for an estimated $78 million. The highlight is "Water Lilies," a 1905 version of the artist's beloved pond and gardens at his home in Giverny, France. It's estimated to fetch $30 million to $45 million.
Monet's 1908 painting of Venice with a view of the Palazzo Ducale on the Grand Canal could fetch $15 million to $20 million. It was confiscated by the Nazis from the noted collector Jakob Goldschmidt and reclaimed by his son in 1960. It descended to the grandson who died in 2014.
The current auction record for a work by Monet is his 1919 "Water Lily Pond," which sold for $80.5 million in 2008.
"Woman With a Chignon in an Armchair," a portrait of Pablo Picasso's lover Francoise Gilot, is estimated to bring $12 million to $18 million. It depicts her in an embroidered jacket Picasso purchased for her in Poland while she was pregnant with their child.
There are two works from Hollywood film moguls Samuel Goldwyn and his son.
Sotheby's also is offering works from two prominent single-owner collections.
Henri Matisse's "Anemones and Pomegranates" was purchased by the elder Goldwyn two years after it was painted in 1948. It's estimated at $5 million to $7 million.
About two dozen other works from the collection will be offered in a series of sales later in May, June and October.
The other collection on Tuesday evening belonged to Jerome Stone, a Chicago businessman and founder of the Alzheimer's Association who died in January. It includes Fernand Leger's "The Blue Wheel, Definitive State" with a presale estimate of $8 million to $12 million. Other artists in collection include Joan Miro, Marc Chagall and Alberto Giacometti.
Samuel Goldwyn Jr. died in January; his father died in 1974.

THE MORNING BREW
At the University of Kansas, it's easy to say we have great coaches simply because Bill Self is considered a top-five coach in the country. It's easy for us to forget there are other coaches in our athletic department, when in reality, the department does a tremendous job with its coaching hires.
No coach the athletic department has hired in the past 10 years has been as great a fit and promised as exeiting a season as the new head women's basketball coach Brandon Schneider.
Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes
In his own words, Coach Schneider — or Coach Brandon as he prefers we call him — has "never collected a paycheck [doing anything other than basketball]." He has a basketball pedigree. His father has collected more than 1,000 wins coaching women's basketball, and Schneider is well on his way to that mark, however far down the road it may be. He's
But what's most exciting about Schneider is his energy and his drive. While the team played an up-tempo style under former head coach Bonnie Henrickson, the Jayhawks sometimes looked loose and even tired.
a young coach, and he already has more than 400 wins to his name.
At his first press conference, Schneider assured reporters and coaches his team would be the
toughest, the most conditioned and the most ready for every game they played. He kept stressing conditioning and toughness, both mentally and physically. If that's where he begins his turnaround of the women's program, there's no better way to start.
This is a team that played at one of the highest temps in the Big 12 last season under Henrickson, and it worked for them. The Henrickson-led Jayhawks scored 63 points per game while shooting 43 percent as a team. They played fast and furious, with frequent rotations and quick, short passes.
Schneider has promised he will keep that system the same and make sure everyone can run it every game
Schneider had pieces to work with his first day in Lawrence, including Lauren Aldridge. The freshman

point guard may be one of the most promising guards in the Big 12 even in the country. Her fast-paced style complements Schngider's attitude perfectly, and together, the two can usher in a system that will stick for years to come.
At the end of the day, Schneider is the best hire KU Athletics has made in the past 10 years. His system fits, his attitude is perfect and exactly what the women's basketball team was missing this year.
At the end of the day, the hire was perfect.
Welcome to the family, Coach Brandon.

Freshmen provide spark in victory against Northwestern
Edited by Victoria Kirk
EVAN RIGGS
@EvanRiggs15
After dropping three of its previous four contests, the Kansas baseball team (21-28, 7-11) came up with a muchneeded 6-2 victory on the road against the Northwestern Wildcats (15-32, 5-13).
"We really needed some momentum going into the weekend," coach Ritch Price said.
lne Jayhawks got a much-needed boost from three of their freshmen: TJ Martin, Owen Taylor and Blake Weiman. Martin started at catcher, Taylor was the starting designated hitter and Weiman was the starting pitcher.
Taylor was not expecting to start, but he blasted a three-run homer in his second atbat.
"I'm just going up there and having fun," Taylor said. "When I went over the lineup and saw my name in the four-hole, I was incredibly excited and couldn't believe it. My first at-bat was a bit shaky. But in my second at-bat, I was able to make an adjustment on a pitch I was in front of in my previous at-bat and push it out of right field."
ine Jayhawks grabbed the momentum by jumping out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning. After senior Justin Protacio's leadoff double, he advanced to third off a sac-fly and scored off a groundout by senior Dylan Smith.
The Wildcats responded with a run of their own in the second inning off a RBI single by Grant Peikert to tie the score 1-1. They very nearly had two runs, but Kansas' senior left-fielder Connor McKay threw out the second runner at home.
"We're happy we came out and got the win today and get some momentum."
OWEN TAYLOR
Freshman infielder
In the third, the Jayhawks benefited off an error to score their second run and take a 2-1 lead.
In the fourth inning, the Jayhawk freshmen blew the game open. It started with Martin, who hit his first career homerun to give the Jayhawks a 3-1 lead.
"It was real nice to see," Price said. "When you're going through your freshman year, the goal is to get better every month. It was nice to see TJ have three quality attbats."
Taylor delivered a three-run homer in the fourth inning to give the Jayhawks a 6-1 lead they would never relinquish.
"We came out today and were able to have quality at-bats, rack up some hits and some runs, which gives confidence to our hitters," Taylor said. "We're happy we came out and got the win today and get some momentum."
Weiman recorded his second win of the season, and improved his record to 2-7. Junior pitcher Sam Gilbert recorded his first career save.
"It was nice to see him (Weiman) go three innings and get rewarded with the 'W.'" Price said. "He took a step forward and was finally able to pitch without the pressure of the world on his shoulders."
The Jayhawks will conclude their mid-week series with the Wildcats tomorrow at 3 p.m.

FACE OF THE STREAK
MARIO CHALMERS
KANSAS
15
VS
In the end, Chalmers outshined all of them.
from Anchorage, Alaska, to Lawrence, Mario Chalmers' basketball career has reached a level of success few have experienced. As the 12thranked recruit in the 2005 Rivals150, Chalmers was part of an absolutely star-studded freshman class, but he wasn't buried by the other talents.
The class also featured other five-star recruits, like Julian Wright and Brandon Rush, in addition to four-star recruit Micah Downs.
In his first year at Kansas, Chalmers produced right away. He averaged 11.5 points and 3.8 assists per game and shot 44.5 percent from the field and 37.5 from three. He also averaged 2.2 rebounds per game, with a true shooting percentage of 58.2 percent.
SCOTT CHASEN
@SChasenKU
Remarkably, all of those numbers would increase by his final year.
By his junior year, Chalmers posted right around 13 points, four assists, three rebounds and three steals per game, and shot 56 percent from the field on twos and 47 percent on
threes.
simply put, there were no weaknesses in his game, and it showed in Kansas' record.
The Jayhawks went 37-3, winning by 15-plus points 22 times and by 25-plus points 11 times.
The jayhawks outclassed pretty much every team they faced, and it showed. In fact, two of the team's three losses came by a combined three points. All three were on the road.

Player
In his freshman season Kansas went 25-8, winning 76 percent of its games. The next year, the team went 33-5, and the winning percentage ballooned to 87.
Year after year, Chalmers battled against some of the toughest college players in recent times, but it didn't matter.
The Big 12 alone featured remarkable players in Michael Beasley, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, LaMarcus Aldridge, P.J. Tucker and D.J. Augustin, all of whom went on to play in the NBA.
Still, Chalmers posted a career record of 41-8 in Big
12 conference play, winning more than 83.5 percent of his games.
It was simply a ridiculous mark, but then again, in college, Chalmers was simply a ridiculous player.
Chalmers finished his Kansas career with 1,341 points, and had he returned for his senior season, he would've had a solid chance to get to the 2,000-point mark. His total points scored had gone up by an average of 60 in each of his last two years. With all four of the other starters from the championship team moving on, he definitely would've had to shoulder more of the load.
If Chalmers had bumped up his scoring to 16 or 17 points per game, he could have easily had a 600-point season to get to 2,000 points, a mark only three other Jayhawks have reached: Danny Manning, Nick Collison and Raef LaFrentz.
But for now, he'll just have to settle on being a Kansas legend and the potential Face of the Streak.
That's a pretty nice consolation prize.

the nasty Calipari-led mandefense. This was destiny for Memphis.
Rose was one of the most talented recruits in the country, and now was his time to hoist a trophy. Finally this would put the doubt behind Calipari. Is he a good coach? How clean is his recruiting? Is Memphis a top program? Finally Coach Cal was going to have a ring to show for himself.
Then, Collins lost the ball. The rock skipped away from him as he drove near the top of the three-point line. Memphis players closed down, and it seemed Collins was sure to lose the ball and the game.
For Kansas fans, this was it. For as long as Bill Self was coach, he had fame, Big 12 titles and tournament runs, but no rings. And he was going to exit this game with no rings.
And then No.15 appeared. Like the hero in a great action
movie, he soared from his spot near the baseline to run around the falling Collins. His man had already given up on him. After all, he had just 13 points, and he'd been quiet the entire second half.
Collins looked up, and he saw Chalmers running the other way. He dribbled once and finally his feet gave out. Diving forward, Collins made his last play of the second half: a desperation toss to Chalmers.

SHERRON COLLINS
In a Bill Self era that has seen 11-consecutive conference regular season titles, one position has been routinely lackluster; the point guard.
The point guard's job is to direct the offense. He's the one calling out every single play as he dribbles up the court. The offense starts and runs through the point and is a particularly important position in college basketball, where a great point guard can carry a team deep into March.
Since Bill Self has been at Kansas, he has recruited only four five-star point guards.
Mario Chalmers and Russell Robinson are both on that list, but both played more as combo guards rather than true point guards. Josh Selby is another, but he was practically jumping ship to the NBA before fans could complete the Rock Chalk chant.
Only one player stands out from the pack: Sherron Collins.
Collins' path to becoming
a layhawk was an eventful one. Despite being ranked 21st overall in the 2006 class, the former Chicago native was told he'd never make it.
He not only made it, he ended his career in 2010 as the winningest Jayhawk of all-time. He is currently second, behind only Tyrel Reed.
Collins was everything you would want in a point guard and everything Self has wanted in one since. He showed leadership and toughness, he had the drive to succeed and was never afraid to take the big shot.
Collins played in 143 collegiate games, averaging 28.5 minutes per contest. He finished his four-year career at Kansas averaging 13.2 points, 3.9 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game. He finished with the fifth-most points in Kansas history with 1,888 points scored.
Many people will remember Mario Chalmers' game-tying three to force overtime in the 2008 National Championship. But an even more important play happened moments prior, when Collins stole the
ball and drilled a three on the other end, aiding in the nine-point comeback.
Collins is also the one who handed the rock to Chalmers before his threepointer. In addition, Collins dribbed out the clock to cap a seven-point victory in the first national title for Kansas in 20 years and the lone national title on Bill Self's résumé.
In an era dominated by one-and-done players, Kansas fans have had few players they have felt a significant attachment to. Because of this, players like Collins who had an impact for four years are such a rarity.
Collins' résumé is impressive enough to be considered the Face of the Streak.
After all, shouldn't the Face of the Streak be a player who played all four years?
That rareness, that unique quality, is why Collins made it all the way to the final matchup, and why he may be the Face of the Streak when all is said and done.

The Jayhawks found themselves down nine points with two minutes left in the 2008 National Championship game, and it seemed like everything was working against them. The team tried and failed to execute on the "chop play", and the chaos was evident, as Mario Chalmers left his feet for a tough shot, before dropping it off to Darrell Arthur at the last moment.
Following the shot, Bill Self took a timeout, and he called everyone over to talk about what needed to happen next, for the layhawks to come back.
Mercifully, Arthur was able to make something happen, as he hit a long two-pointer, but the team was still down 60-53.
Basketball terms aside, what the Jayhawks really needed was a miracle.
They got one
Sprinting towards the baseline,
Sherron Collins stripped the ball from Memphis star Derrick Rose, but he was unable to keep his footing, and was falling out of bounds. However, in dramatic fashion, Collins flung the ball behind him, and it somehow found the open arms of Mario Chalmers.
The ensuing pass was on point.
30 was the shot.
Collins knocked down the three, which brought the Jayhawks back within four, after trailing by nine points just seconds ago. In fact, without Collins' play, the Jayhawks likely wouldn't have been able to make up the ground they did, especially considering it took a last-second three-point shot just to tie the game.
So was the shot.
Chalmers hauled in the pass and drove toward the rim, but the lane was quickly blocked. Chalmers dropped the pass off to Russell Robinson, who turned and saw Collins in the corner.
And as the final seconds bled away, it was fitting that the ball would end up in the hands of Collins.
After Chalmers' famous three-pointer at the buzzer, the Jayhawks found themselves headed to overtime and never looked back. Carrying their momentum with them, the Jayhawks outscored the Tigers 12-5 in overtime.
The improbable comeback was no longer a fantasy.
With the Jayhawks up seven, Rose shot one last deep three-pointer, which careened off the back iron and found its way into the hands of Darrell Arthur.
Arthur handed it to Collins, who dribbled out the clock with a big smile on his face. You could almost see all the pressure melt away as Jim Nantz uttered the famous quote on the CBS broadcast:

Douglas County plans to address mental health and homelessness
HALLIE WILSON
@halliew20
As jail space decreases and homelessness rates increase, Douglas County officials face two major problems: addressing mental health issues in the community before they lead to criminal activity and finding a way to help the homeless.
In the past 20 years, the state of Kansas has reduced the number of mental health beds available in jails, leading the Lawrence County jail to struggle to provide beds for incarcerated individuals. Additionally, homeless rates in Lawrence rose in recent months due to the economic downturn.
The county is working to find impactful solutions to these problems, which are oftentimes tied together. The ultimate goal is to help community members lead a life that includes proper treatment and keeps them out of jail. The solution may be to create new facilities to help people with mental health issues.
Brian Blevins, CEO of the Lawrence Community Shelter, believes the solution is in helping addicts and homeless individuals recover, get off
the streets and pursue normal lives.
"Nobody is in favor of more jail beds," Blevins said. "The U.S. jails more people than any other country, and it shouldn't work like that."
Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug agreed. He said the goal is to help people through a crisis that, if unaddressed, might cause them to end up in jail.
Weinaug said the county jail would ideally implement a crisis intervention center, which is a place where someone might stay for a minimum of 23 hours or up to a maximum of 2 weeks.
The county's proposed solution to these two main issues isn't as obvious as one might guess. Instead of expanding facilities and buying more beds, it wants to create a short-term crisis center for those in mental crises, as well as a longer-term recovery center for community residents.
Blevins said the hope is that the county will reach out to more people and offer them long-term help, which would in turn potentially decrease arrests.
"The idea is that if someone is in a mental health crisis,
they can go there to heal instead of going to jail," Weinaug said. "Some of the crisis center options mean they wouldn't be involved in the justice system at all."
The crisis center would help those who had a mental breakdown or large dispute because of a mental health issue, for example. The recovery center would help people with substance abuse issues, mental health problems and those living on the streets who deal with these problems. The latter has become a bigger problem due to the economic downturn.
The crisis center goal is to get someone through a crisis and also keep them out of unnecessary jail time, Weinaug said. The additional creation of a long-term recovery facility run by Blevins would include programs tailored to individuals, still with the goal of helping them heal and keeping them out of jail. People could go to the recovery center after their time at the crisis center or on their own fruition.
"Regardless of when our economy even begins to bounce back, you still have a lot of people that don't recover economically as fast as
the community or even the nation does," Blevins said. "The longer stretch we have of a bad economy, the more homeless rates rise."
When homeless rates rise, more people need the shelter and the services it offers. This is a challenge for Blevins and other shelter administrators.
Blevins said the best choice is to develop programs and create better environments for people to heal in. Blevins said the ultimate goal is to create a restorative environment for everyone that passes through, which once again ties back into the idea of reduced arrests.
"Our staff deals with all of the problems that people come in with that have created the homeless situation," Blevins said. "We get about 20-25 people housed every month, on average. And we're not keeping up."
A recovery center works as a sort of full-service environment tailored to each individual's personal situation.
This includes transportation to outside medical services, like the doctor and dentist, as well as psychological treat-
Future Majority gives funds to Topeka to help Kansas' budget crisis

With a giant $17.25 check in tow, Clay Cosby, co-founder of the Future Majority club at the University, drove to Topeka on Wednesday to draw the legislator's attention to the severity of the budget deficit. While he was under no impression that the club's contribution would make a dent, he said he wanted to make a point.
"We were trying to get the message out there and show how significant our shortfall is," said Cosby, a senior from Overland Park.

The club finished the day with $17.25 total and decided to run with it.
"We wanted to milk this as much as we could, so we were like, 'Let's get a giant check printed for $17.25 made out to the state of Kansas and we'll take it to the Capitol and we'll walk around and play the part of earnest students who head there's an issue and were trying to help," Cosby said.
Once in Topeka, Cosby met with Sen. Laura Kelly (D-Topeka) and Rep. Stephanie Clayton (R-Overland Park), both of whom he said were very receptive to the cause.
"These are two very sympathetic legislators," he said. "They described the poor policies that led to these massive shortfalls. I asked Laura Kelly, 'What are some crazy instances of spending out of control?' Her response was that it's irresponsible tax policy."

Looking back at this semester, several events have brought attention to topics that encouraged conversation on diversity and cultural competency.
The Office of Multicultural Affairs held an open conversation for underrepresented students Wednesday evening. No definitive plans were made, but students discussed concerns and questions.
Organized by Melissa Peterson, multicultural community coordinator, and Nathan Thomas, vice provost for diversity and equity, the event brought approximately 50 students, faculty and staff to the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center lobby.

In December, Student Senate approved the creation of a position that had been in the works for most of the fall semester:

The bill to create the position originally failed in committee, but was brought up again after an open forum on Dec. 10 and passed 47 to 1 with no abstentions.
"If [all or most] of your needs are met, it's hard to see that someone is here whose needs are not always met, especially if we're in the same place," Jones said in an interview April 10. She said having someone whose sole job is to advocate for those individuals is crucial.

New apartment complex to feature robotic valet
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
A new student housing project at 1101 Indiana St. plans to park resident vehicles using RoboticValet, a machine created by Boomerang Systems, Inc. Developers say the ecofriendly service will be an improvement in safety as Kansas' first robotic parking system.
The apartment complex, developed by Chicago-based company Here Industries LLC, will be located on Indiana Street near Memorial Stadium and will cater to students. Jim Heffernan, a developer at Here, said while this type of parking system has been around for years, Boomerang was chosen as the vendor because of its track record.
"There are several vendors, but we chose Boomerang because they're reliable." Heffernan said. "They have an extremely reliable system in comparison to some of their competitors, and they're very good to work with."
Boomerang's website describes its RoboticValet system as one that "uses omni-directional, battery-powered robots, and a proprietary software and robotics guidance system, to carry vehicles parked on self-supporting steel trays to and from storage spaces by driving directly on a concrete slab surface, without the use of a rail or track." The vehicle can be called up by the push of a button when the driver is ready to go.
Heffernan said RoboticValet will significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the apartment complex by removing the need to build
"There are multiple benefits; the carbon footprint is dramatically less. It's reduced because there's not all the idling and searching for a car," he added. "I think we've all been there and seen that spot in a garage, and by the time you get to it, it's full."
ramps, aisles and extra space between cars.
"The beauty of a robotic garage is the central drop off point, where [there are] multiple lights and security cameras," Heffernan said. "It creates a safer environment instead of being in an isolated drive aisle of a parking garage. It's also much safer [because] the cars are all stored in a secure vault where there is really no human interaction, so break-ins and door dings; those are eliminated."
In addition to the green aspect, this system offers improved safety for the driver and their vehicle unlike any other complex in Lawrence.
"[Because] KU students and Lawrence residents tend to have a problem with parking. I think many will enjoy this and it will bring a lot of people in."
BELLA CONGEMI Sophomore from River Edge, N.J.
While the parking garage is unique to this development, it isn't the only aspect that makes it stand out. The development will add 108 standard public parking spots on Mississippi and Indiana streets for visitors, and Heffernan said he hopes to add a retail component similar to that of downtown
"It has a superior location in terms of convenience for the average KU student with amenities that aren't really in Lawrence at any location," he said. "There will be an elevated pool [on the roof of the complex] overlooking the green area by Memorial Stadium. Right now, downtown venues are a fair walk away from the majority of people on campus, so we're hoping to bring some of the convenience to the area."
Massachusetts Street as part of the development.
TJ Blake, a sophomore from Hutchison and a University Affairs Committee member, said this technology will help solve problems many people face on campus.
"Advancements in technology can create a great opportunity for increased safety for college students," he said in an email. "Hopefully, local apartments [will] continue to innovate ways to create affordable solutions to these major student issues."
Bella Congemi, a sophomore from River Edge, N.J., said she's excited to see this technology here in Lawrence.
With the development set to open in 2016, Heffernan said Here looks forward to implementing the new system.
"We're excited to bring this level of innovation and green thinking to KU and to Lawrence," Heffernan said.

The policy comes on the heels of a controversial year for the Greek community — both nationally and on the KU campus — as events involving cultural competency and sexual assault within the community made headlines. This year's Rock Chalk Revue, a variety show-style fundraiser that the Greek community hosts, included a stereotypically Hispanic
character named "Paco." The incident caused uproar within the university community and the Rock Chalk Revue board of directors apologized for the character.
In one of several high-profile sexual assault cases, the University initially handed down an interim suspension on Kappa Sigma fraternity on Sept. 30 for the allegations of sexual misconduct. The University started its investigation into the fraternity at that time as well. In
The statement bans hard liquor use at any chapter house by residents or guests. The policy will also include an amnesty clause, which would allow someone to get help for anyone in need of medical assistance without facing any punishments.
The alcohol ban will go into effect starting next fall.
December, the fraternity was placed on a two-year probation.

"We have to have an environment that will stabilize them in those situations," Blevins said. "Give them at least a shot at recovery, and that can't happen unless you have a specialized environment."

The San Antonio Recovery Center is the model for the ideal recovery center. Weinaug and Blevins traveled with a team of Lawrence officials to visit the facility in March.
ment, therapy and relaxation time. The point is to target everything: medical, emotional, physical and spiritual enrichment and heading. Blevins said.
Blevins said their visit to San Antonio is a testament to the hypothesis that recovery centers work. He said he believes that once the community knows this, they'll be on board to help.
Weinaugh agrees the San Antonio facility is great, but cautions that major adaptations would need to be made for a similar facility to thrive in Lawrence.
"There are some differences in Texas, including that we are under a different set of state laws," Weinaug said.
Weinaug also said a stay at their facility is maximum seven days, while a stay at one in Lawrence would be maximum 14 days. Furthermore, San Antonio is a town of millions while Lawrence is a town of thousands.
For now, the crisis center and eventual recovery center are at the forefront of possible solutions. The county is currently working with two consultants to conduct extensive research for the projects.
The San Antonio facility was greatly funded from a donation of more than $100 million from a single donor. That same situation is unlikely to happen in Lawrence, Weinaug said.
Weinaug and Blevins both said they will be able to make more concrete and justified decisions as soon as they have more empirical evidence. The next step will be finding funding for the programs and facilities, which Weinaug said would most likely come in the form of an increase in taxes.
Kelly said when she met with Cosby, it was clear he and the group had a good grasp on the severity of Kansas' fiscal state.
FUTURE FROM PAGE 2
From there, Cosby took his check to Gov. Sam Brownback's office where Cosby said no one was very interested in speaking with him.
"It was very clear that his group had a pretty good grasp on the dire fiscal situation here in Kansas," she said. "They understood they'd never make up for the deficit by selling cookies. I thought it was very good symbolism."
Edited by Callie Byrnes
She went on to add the tax cuts put in place by Brownback in 2012 and 2013 were, in large part, to blame for the budget mess, though not all of her colleagues have come to terms with the severity of the issue.
"We've kind of looked under every couch cushion and under every rock for every penny we can find because folks will not deal with reality and the tax cuts put in place in 2012 and 2013" she said. "They're addressing the issue, but my take on it is that so far no one has really dealt with the elephant in the room."
Mimicking that thought, Cosby said since the legislators didn't seem to be acting, he brought boxes of cookies in case they wanted to help raise extra funds.
"We're waiting for Brownback math to add up, and it's not coming, so we need serious solutions," he said. "I brought
a box of cookies with me, and I gave the legislators a box of cookies as a 'saving Kansas' starter kit. This Legislature doesn't seem to be doing the trick, so we should have the Legislature go out and have a bake sale and maybe we can make a dent in the budget shortfall next year."
Cosby, who will graduate this May, said he hopes this group he co-founded will continue to engage with students about the importance of being involved in state and local politics.
"Next year is a presidential [election] year, and students tend to show up more then they do off years, which is unfortunate because state politics impact students far more than the federal," Kelly said. "Presidential politics is very sexy and it's a lot of fun, but the fact of the matter is that our students need to focus on their local representatives and senators because those are the ones making votes to make a difference in their lives."
"We really would love to see students taking more of an interest in their own interests," he said. "We have so much at stake in state politics. If students are more aware and take more of an interest and vote, we're going to see a positive effect from that."

Class to hold 'Fantasy Government' event tonight
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
The University's Department of Urban Planning's politics and planning class will hold "Play Fantasy Government: Tackle your Future."
The event will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. tonight in the Community Room at the Lawrence Union Pacific Depot.
The event is open to the public, and everyone is encouraged to come fill out a roster as they would when building a fantasy sports team
- but instead for a fantasy government.
"They [participants] will choose whether or not they want a mayor, what power the mayor can have, using council elections — things like that," said Bonnie Johnson, associate professor of the class.
To help people make their decisions, students in the class have prepared displays about various topics.
One example came from Jillian Ogden, a second-year graduate student from Lenexa, who made a poster about partisan elections versus non-partisan elections.
Ogden said it will be interesting to see where
people fall on the local government spectrum.
"I wasn't too familiar with Lawrence because I'm not from here, but I've learned so much about the different elements and where I fall on the spectrum," Ogden said. "I'm excited to see for those who are actually native to Lawrence."
Despite the different aspects that go into local government, Ogden said the event simplifies the process.
"It's very interactive," Ogden said. "We'll give people the pieces for them to put back together."
There will even be a big
football field in the middle of the room to show the different choices people make.

The letter was published in December by Charles Jones, former Douglas County commissioner and retired director of the Kansas University Public Management Center.
This is the first time this event is being held, and Johnson said a letter to the editor published in the LJ World was what brought about the idea.
elected by the city council.
Jones' reasoning came partly from a different article published by the LJ World that compared the "Most Educated Cities in America," by per-capita GDP.
"Lawrence ranked fourth on the list of most educated cities, but last when taking into consideration each community's GDP by its population," Jones said. "It's important to note we are the only ones on the list who have a rotating mayor."
Because of this, Jones said Lawrence is an outlier in the way leadership is structured.
called for the city commission to appoint a blue-ribbon panel that would explore the possibility of an elected mayor.
To move forward, Jones
"It needs to be a deliberate and thoughtful process," Jones said. "I think this event is a wonderful idea and will gather some input from the public."
Johnson said after the event, the class will send out a news release with the results.
"After that, it's up to the citizens or local readers to decide whether or not they want to take action," Johnson said.
DIVERSITY FROM PAGE 1
"Not a lot of people really know what inclusion looks like," she said. "Having someone who is trained in the areas of diversity, inclusion and cultural competency really helps to address student concerns."
"#ImNotPaco": Rock Chalk Revue character sparks discussion
- Edited by Laura Kubicki
A character named Paco in one Rock Chalk Revue show the first weekend of March upset students in the Hispanic American Leadership Organization and others on campus.
"Paco" was a stereotypical portrayal of a Hispanic man wearing a sombrero, rainbow poncho and drawn-on mustache. Many students took to Twitter in response to the performance, using the hashtag #ImNotPaco.
The next week, HALO opened its weekly meeting to allow the public to listen as members shared how they felt about the incident. The Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) also hosted an open forum to discuss race on campus, as the timing coincided with an incident at Oklahoma University's chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon involving a racist chant.
"This event [#ImNotPaco] has consumed my life," Marilynn Chavez, president of HALO and senior from Manhattan, said during the open meeting.
Since then, the Rock Chalk Revue executive team has revised its rules to make sure recommendations from its sensitivity panel are enforced.
Anti-muslim Yeti post leads fraternity to take action
An Islamophobic post on the social media app Yeti prompted leadership at Zeta Beta Tau fraternity to expel four of its members.
A statement Zeta Beta Tau issued April 27 said the four members had been expelled within 24 hours of them admitting they had taken part in the 10-second video, which showed a few men laughing as one yelled
"Allahu Akbar," which means "God is greatest" in Arabic.
"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, which was submitted by Ben Felderstein, the fraternity's vice president of external affairs.
Shegufta Huma, president of the Muslim Student Association, also gave a statement on the group's behalf, which said the MSA and other Muslims on campus were "appreciative of Zeta Beta Tau's swift independent action."
"They demonstrated their willingness to ensure the Muslim community feels valued," the statement from MSA said.
Office of Multicultural Affairs director resigns; interim director named
Blane Harding, former director of the OMA, officially resigned at the beginning of May. He has moved on to the University of Nevada, Reno.
Before Harding left, he shared some concerns, which partly revolved around the direction of central leadership at the University.
"Having someone who is trained in the areas of diversity, inclusion and cultural competency really helps to address student concerns."
JAMEELAH JONES Graduate student from Conyers, Ga.
"I just wish that central leadership would do something concrete to support students of color." Harding told the Kansan in an April 8 interview.
Jones and Thomas discussed Harding's resignation with the Kausen. Jones said she understood how Harding felt, but also knew the administration was in a difficult place.
"[The administrators] don't want to just do things — they
want to do the right things," she said.
Thomas said one of the most important issues to deal with is making people who are part of underrepresented populations feel they belong at the University.
"When people don't feel like they belong— no matter whether they're faculty, staff or student—they will not want to be part of an organization," he said.
As of Monday, Precious Porras is serving as interim director of the OMA. Over the past 10 years at the University, she has served as a tutoring coordinator, programs coordinator and, most recently, associate director of the office.
Porras said a national search is "anticipated" to begin this month with a permanent director taking over Sept. 1, but she's keeping her fingers crossed that the search won't look too far from home.
At the open conversation Wednesday, Thomas said the
More to come
administration is putting out a request for a proposal seeking a consultant to conduct a comprehensive climate study this week. With that timeline, he said the study should be moving by June 1.
Thomas ended the evening on a question pertinent to ongoing talks at the University.
Thomas also mentioned a possible retreat, similar to Colors of KU, that would aim to build a greater sense of community among students of underrepresented populations.
Students also discussed accountability — not only for offenders who commit microaggressions or outright bigotry, but also for those who talk up solutions. As one example of bigotry, a student mentioned Confederate flags that still hang in some housing on or near campus, as evidenced by another Yeti post over the past weekend.
"We are in a state of crisis, nationally," he said. "[...] How is that going to change?"

Seek all sides in controversial issues
Anrenee Reasor
@anreneer
The 2016 presidential campaign season has already begun. As a
already begun. As a political junkie, part of me likes seeing early coverage, the speculation and Nate Silver's forecasts. But for many others, covering candidates a year before the primary seems ridiculous.
To be bombarded with press tours, books, advertisements and media releases for almost a year and a half is overwhelming. People have already started picking sides: Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Hillary Clinton are all officially running. Others favor Scott Walker and Jeb Bush, who are not yet official. What bothers me are the people who automatically dismiss candidates for issues they know little about.
If this were the only incident of this occurring, it wouldn't be a major problem. But I can think of many others where people make unwarranted claims siding with a group without seeking out further information.
For example, Benghazi's mar on Clinton's resume hinders her in many eyes. To them I ask, what happened in Benghazi? Do you know what Clinton did, what her options were? How much information did she have? Was she the only one making the decisions?
When Darren Wilson's name was released, many people automatically assumed him to be a guilty murderer. People declared this before seeing autopsy results, reading the eyewitness testimony, or pouring over the forensic evidence. When the evidence was presented and was insufficient to prove Wilson's guilt, people still exclaimed the trial to be unfair. Riots, marches and unrest continued.
though, proving having more black people in City Council positions and on the police force is not a silver bullet.
With Freddie Gray's case, the evidence pointed toward homicide, so less debate about that verdict arose. Protests in Baltimore still shake the streets
In regards to Emma Sulkowicz, the Columbia student carrying a mattress around campus, people have blindly supported her crusade. Although it can be argued that Columbia's own justice system failed her by not finding the man responsible, criminal charges were also never filed. By releasing his name, these allegations will haunt him for the rest of his life. People lampoon for Sulkowicz's cause without knowing the full story. What about Paul Nungesser's side? He was cleared of charges, but the media arguably ruined his life.
Columbia's investigation of The Rolling Stone's report on the University of Virginia proves the ultimate point about people not seeking out the full story. By only listening to Jackie's side and not completing a full investigation, the magazine printed a false account. Obviously this does not mean people should withhold their stories for fear of not being believed, but if you are trying to tell a full story or form a more robust opinion, seek out more information.
When you make claims about Ted Cruz versus Jeb Bush, do you know both sides thoroughly? Do you know how each voted while in office? Do you know Hillary's side of the email scandal? Or are you only seeking out information that corroborates your current views?
Only reading sources and stories that already support your views and beliefs really creates a detriment to society and yourself."Many times a story has more than two sides; seek them all out.

Instagram's new policy promotes gender equity
Madeline Umali
@madelinenmali
U unless you are familiar with the breastfeeding
Instagram is following other social media outlets like Facebook in changing these guidelines. By
movement or Instagram's previous community guidelines, you wouldn't know that mothers on Instagram have had their breastfeeding photos removed because they were deemed inappropriate. Instagram has been notorious for taking down such photos due to user complaints. However, that all changed after the popular social media app changed their guidelines on allowing photos of mothers breastfeeding, women's mastectomy scars and
removing the ban on these types of photographs, these online platforms are taking a step forward to gender equity.
The controversy was really brought to light after celebrities, including Alyssa Milano, spoke out about the beauty of breastfeeding and how it shouldn't be deemed inappropriate or disrespectful on social media.
Women all over the world are now speaking out about issues dealing with breastfeeding. This is how movements like the #brelfie and the Free the Nipple campaign have picked up so mucli momentum.
Breastfeeding is a natural and beautiful part of motherhood, yet it has been ridiculed and considered inappropriate because of society's view of women's bodies. It is ridiculous that people can see photos of Kim Kardashian completely nude in a magazine spread
The movement continued to grow after actress Olivia Wilde posed for Glamour magazine while breastfeeding her baby.
and be OK with it,but when a mother posts an image of her breastfeeding her child, people start feeling uncomfortable.
The underlying issue is that social media outlets objectify women's bodies, but then refuse to allow photos of women's bodies being shown in their natural state. That is why changing the photograph guidelines to allow such photos is important.
@NORMALIZEBREASTFEEDING/INSTAGRAM
1968
By allowing these types of photos to be displayed in public, we can start changing how society views women's bodies. The notion that the female body is built for sexuality can change to include the beauty of motherhood. This movement is about more than being allowed to post the photos you want - it emphasizes the importance of normalizing motherhood and nursing.
Social media platform instagram recently its community guidelines to allow pictures of mothers breastfeeding and women's mastectomy scars.
Policy changes like this one are the future for social media and gender equity. Mothers have the right to post photos of them nursing their newborns just as much as anyone else has
the right to post photos of their food or friends.
However, this movement of allowing mothers to post photos of the inner workings of motherhood stretches far past social media. By removing the ban against these types of photos, we are getting one
step closer to normalizing these types of things in the real world, thus making mothers comfortable to feed in public without being ridiculed.

SUMMER FLICKS
Check out these new movies to catch a break from the heat of summer
FROM THE DIRECTOR IN THE MONDAYDAY NIGHTS, LOST PREMIUM
Alex Lamb
@Lambcannon
TOMORROWLAND/DISNEY
Tomorrowland is a sci-fi film about an inventor who returns to a land of imagination. It hits theaters May 22.
For those days you'll want to take shelter from the summer heat, the movie theater can be your best friend. Here are six films to get excited about this season.
TOMORROWLAND (MAY 22)
Disney's secretive sci-fi wonder ride of a blockbuster looks to become the coolest surprise of the summer, promising sleek thrills, energizing ingenuity and grandiose spectacle. George Clooney stars as an inventor returning to a land of unlimited imagination, and Brad Bird ("The Incredibles," "Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol") directs with stylistic gusto and action bravo.
ANT-MAN (JULY 17)
ANI-MAN (JULY 17)
After going as big as possible with "Avengers: Age of Ultron", Marvel's next superhero film takes things down to size. Paul Rudd stars as a thief chosen for an important heist, where he uses a supersuit that allows him to shrink in size, gain immense strength and also control ants. The result offers fresh ways to play with set piece action, blowing up micro-scale into giant fun.
TRAINWRECK (JULY 17)
Party girl Amy Schumer wrote and stars in this raunchy comedy about a magazine writer who doesn't believe in monogamy, goes out every night and freely moves from one guy to the next, until she starts to fall for the sports doctor subject (Bill Hader) of her next article. Studio comedy super producer Judd Apatow steps back into the directing chair here, balancing humor and
insight into relationships over an inflated, yet entertaining runtime.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE:
ROGUIF NATION (JULY 31)
Tom Cruise literally hung onto the outside door of a jumbo jet as it took off and flew to 5,000 feet for a jaw-dropping stunt in the latest "Mission: Impossible." That alone makes this installment, where Ethel Hunt (Cruise) and his team fight to
eliminate the rogue version of the Impossible Mission Force, worth seeing. All the other adrenaline-pumping set pieces will be icing on the cake.
FANTASTIC FOUR (AUG. 7)
FANTASTIC FOUR (AUG. 7) "Chronicle" is one of the most unique superhero films of recent years, so naturally, its director, Josh Trank, was brought in to breathe new life into a stale superhero property. His reboot of "Fantastic Four" bears a much edgier

One Direction members exchange bitter words in Twitter argument
Zayn Malik, a former member of One Direction, left the popular boy band in March. He and band member Louis Tomlinson got into a Twitter spat yesterday.
JOEL RYAN/ASSOCIATED PRESS

@ Kate Miller
Band members Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik broke into an argument on Twitter yesterday afternoon, starting with an apparent subtweet Tomlinson sent regarding Malik and a picture he had taken with producer Naughty Boy.
It appears there are still some hard feelings between One Direction members regarding the group's breakup.
with producer Naughty Boy. The photo, posted by Naughty Boy, showed Malik and the producer posing in a highly-filtered photo. Captioned "Replace this," the photo appeared to be taken using Apple's Photo Booth application.
Two hours later, Tomlinson tweeted, "Remember when you were 12 and you used to think those Mac filters for your pictures were cool haha! Some people still do HA!"
Although the tweet did not directly mention either Naughty Boy or Malik, it was obvious whom the tweet referred to, especially with the tweets Tomlinson would send later directly to Naughty Boy.
"jesus forgot you were such an in demand producer ... How does it feel to be riding on the back of someone else's career?" Tomlinson tweeted at the producer.
Malik responded directly to the latter tweet from Tomlinson, writing,
"[R]ember when you had a life and stopped making bitch comments about mine?"
The fight, followed closely by One Direction's fans, who call themselves "Directioners," inspired the hashtags #TomlinsonSlaysAgain and #LouisDefenseSquad, reflecting a popular feeling of hostility towards Malik.
Malik left the popular boy band in March, and fans were distraught to find him launching a solo career shortly after his departure. The dramatic Twitter fight only seemed to further demonstrate Malik's
character to fans, who took to Twitter in droves to express their opinions.
"[R]emember when you had a life and stopped making bitchy comments about mine?"
ZAYN MALIK ON TWITTER IN REPLY TO LOUIS TOMLINSON
A user by the name of "louis defense squad" tweeted, "I
hate what Zayn tweeted. I hate how he dropped us like we meant nothing. Idek what to feel anymore. #TOMLINSONSLAYSAGAIN". Another user by the name of "Egypt needs 1D" tweeted, "March 2015: Zayn left us. May 2015: We left Zayn. #TOMLINSONSLAYSAGAIN".
The tweets from Malik and Tomlinson's accounts are still visible on Twitter, perhaps to forever mark a new era in the One Direction fandom.

7 Things You'll Miss About the U This Summer
2. The Roasterie's Double-Shot Vanilla Latte. We totally get this one—what's not to like about waking up to that warm and lovely caffeine jolt?
1. The opportunity to hang out with masses of other Jayhawks, and know that they get what it means to be a Jayhawk.
5. Those crazy students at the Social Media Outpost who are always giving stuff away. Frisbee Fridays, Tasty Tuesday's, free tickets to cool stuff. We love those guys too.
Okay, with some 1,801,216 of you visiting the Union every year, we're guessing you'll miss this place over the summer. So we did a little informal survey with students to find out what they'll miss most. Here are their top seven answers:
7. The hustle and bustle of Jayhawk Walk. Yup, Level 4 of the Kansas Union--informally the #1 place to Jayhawk-watch on campus.
Ah yes, it's been a good year. Enjoy the summer. We look forward to seeing you again in about 95 days.
4. Crunchy. Chicken. Cheddar. Wrap. Enough said.
6. Thursday's Tea @ 3:00. We'll will miss gathering with hundreds of other Jayhawks to decompress over free hot tea and cookies—and the occasional bag of steamy popcorn.
3. The "KUBS." The KU Bookstore's fan shop--a heaven of crimson and blue.

Best Coast's 'California Nights' has a dark side
RANDALL ROBERTS
@TribuneAgency
O f all the cultural archetypes that Southern California has produced, the loosely defined genre known as "beach music" is one of its most enduring. That sunny, harmony-rich, melodically spirited permutation is the rope connecting artists as varied as the Beach Boys, the Byrds, Fleetwood Mac, the Go-Go's, Snoop Dogg, Mazzy Star and No Doubt. Over the past few years, that sound has ridden a wave into the present through the work of Best Coast.
I'll just put it in the first line.
ROB LOUD//ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bethany Cosentino, pictured, and her duo partner Bobb Bruno of the band Best Coast are releasing their third studio album, "California Nights."
The duo of Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno move further toward mastering the vibe on their third studio album, "California Nights." They do so not by celebrating carefree romps along Pacific Coast Highway, though, but by inverting the Beach Boys' fun-fun narrative
With its catchy but distorted opening riffs, album-opener "Feeling Ok" may seem like an ode to takin' it easy, except that when Cosentino sings the phrase, she doesn't sound so convinced. The title track shimmers with jangle-distorted guitar that screams sunshine, until Cosentino delivers her lines: "I stay high all the time just to get by."
Still, she's not the most lyrically dexterous writer. Most of her lines follow a similar sing-song cadence, and her rhymes often feel telegraphed. But she's an expert at feeling and exploring an emotion or idea while guitars swirl around it.
Even more so than on its previous records. Best Coast on "California Nights" uses
distortion as a tool to infect danger into pop structures that follow the standard verse-chorus-verse rules. Classic Brill Building girders support songs like "Heaven Sent" and the Phil Spector-esque closer "Wasted Time" with earthquake-resistant permanence. In a perfect world, these would jump to the top of the singles chart. But,' as Cosentino will be the first to tell you, that's not the one we live in.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who moves on, the Clippers or the Rockets?
Sean Collins
@seanzie.3
After one game of the series between Houston and Los Angeles, the Rockets have already dug themselves into a hole that will be hard to dig themselves out of. A finally healthy Rockets team lost by double digits to the Clippers without Chris Paul, and it wasn't pretty.
For the rest of the series, the Clippers now have the upper hand, as they were able to steal a game in Houston without their main leader. Paul didn't play Wednesday night due to a strained hamstring, as reported by SportsCenter, but the Clippers proved they have the firepower to compete without him. In game one of the series, the Clippers
defeated the Rockets 117-101 with help from the Rockets.
The Rockets beat themselves, especially from the free-throw line, shooting just over 58 percent. Along with their shooting woes, the Rockets had trouble taking care of the ball, committing 23 turnovers.
The Clippers have proven themselves to be a title-contending team in the past couple weeks after knocking off the defending champion San Antonio Spurs in a tight seven-game series.
Blake Griffin has been flirting with a triple-double throughout the playoffs, averaging 24.4 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game. Griffin has recorded three triple-doubles in these playoffs thus far, including back-to-back triple-doubles in game seven against the Spurs and in game one against the Rockets.
The Clippers miss Paul, but Griffin has picked up the play in his absence. If Paul can't play in game two, expect Griffin to have another strong outing. Since Paul joined the Clippers, they have made
Luckily for the Clippers, they have one of the best benches in basketball, and that is ultimately what will give them the edge to win the series and move on to the Western Conference championship. Jamal Crawford is an excellent scoring option for the Clippers' reserves, averaging nearly 13 points per contest. Austin Rivers picked up the point guard play Monday night and scored 17 points, including 12 from three-point range.
the playoffs, and with the experience they have built over the past five years, they are ready for a serious title run.
Even if the Clippers lose in game two, they have two straight games at home and most likely a return from Paul. The Rockets are going to have to steal a couple games on the road if they want to have a chance in this series. However, if the Clippers can take game two in Houston, the Rockets won't be able to win the series, and it may already be too late as it is.

ROCKETS
+
Playing at their best right now, the Houston Rockets are a contender in the Western Conference Playoffs. The Rockets were battling with the Memphis Grizzlies for the Southwestern Division title, which gave the Rockets the No.2 seed in the Western Conference Playoffs. The Rockets clinched their first division title since 1994.
The Rockets did go to a five-game series with their in-state rivals, the Dallas Mavericks, winning games one and two by double-digits, and game three by three points. The Rockets did not achieve the sweep over Dallas in game four, forcing a game five, which the Rockets also won, putting them at 4-1 in the series.
With more time to rest before facing their next opponent — the winner of the Clippers and the Spurs series — the Rockets were in good shape for their next series in the playoffs.
Coming off the momentum from their game-seven win against the Spurs, the Clippers were able to steal game one from the Rockets in Houston, despite Chris Pauls absence and no home-field advantage. If Paul is still infured for game two, the Rockets will surely win and take the series to 1-1 as they continue west to Staples Center for games three and four.
Most Valuable Player runner-up James Harden had an off-game Monday night, only scoring 18 points. Harden was also in foul trouble late in the game, which allowed the Clippers to make a run and increase their lead to double-digits. Let's not forget the Rockets also have big man Dwight Howard, who has come up huge in games as of late, including 26 rebounds in game three of the first round against Dallas.
Howard has recorded a double-double in all of the Rockets playoff games this
season except for game one and game four against Dallas.
"WITH MORE TIME TO REST BEFORE FACING THEIR NEXT OPPO-NENT THE WINNER OF THE CLIPPERS AND THE SPURS SERIES THE ROCKETS WERE IN GOOD SHAPE FOR THEIR NEXT SERIES IN THE PLAYOFFS."
Also watch out for Corey Brewer and Josh Smith to contribute for the Rockets, as well. Smith, who was acquired by the Rockets from the Detroit Pistons, has been playing his best basketball since he was picked up by the Rockets.
If all this can happen and the Clippers don't get Paul back soon, the Rockets have a good shot at taking the series and making their first appearance in the Western Conference Final since 1997.

Junior center fielder Briana Evans throws the ball to the infield at Arrocha Field. The Jayhawks' final conference series against Iowa State is this weekend.
Kansas softball prepares for last Big 12 series against Iowa State
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
The Jayhawks hope to finish the regular season strong against Iowa State (26-25, 3-12) in the final Big 12 conference series this weekend. The Jayhawks (35-13, 5-10) are also hoping to secure a favorable spot in the NCAA Regionals, which will be announced Sunday night.
Kansas is coming off a fivegame losing streak to No. 4 Oklahoma and No. 14 Baylor, the top two teams in the conference. Most recently, Baylor swept the jayhawks in the final home conference series of the season. Kansas allowed Baylor to score 17 total runs over the three weekend games and were only able to record three total scores.
"You know Baylor is a great opponent coming in," Kansas coach Megan Smith said. "They're a top-25 opponent,
but I really hoped we would have shown up and done a little bit better than what we did. We were competitive in parts of games, but not full games."
"We have to take care of business this weekend against Iowa State for us to even have a chance to be selected (to the NCAA Regionals)."
MEGAN SMITH Softball coach
Iowa State currently has a 26-25 record on the season, but has only recorded three Big 12 wins. Those three wins came against Oklahoma State, Baylor and Texas Tech.
"Our mindset going into Iowa State has to be, 'We've got to forget the last two weekends' and
have a fresh outlook that we're going to be facing a team that is equally matched to us, which is a good thing." Smith said.
Iowa State is offensively led by junior Brittany Gomez, who boasts a 4.24 batting average and has recorded 75 hits, 43 scores and 18 RBIs. Senior Lexi Slater leads the Cyclones with 41 RBIs on a .312 batting average and has recorded 49 hits, 25 scores and nine home runs this season.
The Cyclones' pitching staff is led by senior Stacy Roggentien, who leads the team with a 3.51 ERA and has recorded 105 strikeouts while allowing 137 hits and 73 scores. Sophomore Katie Johnson is another solid pitcher for the Cyclones, who ranks third on the team with a 4.65 ERA and has recorded 53 strikeouts while allowing 121 hits and 85 scores.
ours in terms of their pitching ERAs, in terms of their batting averages," Smith said. "Iowa State has always been a team that is extremely scrappy."
The Jayhawks will first face off against Iowa State at 4 p.m. Friday.
"Iowa State is very similar to us. I think their numbers, statistically, are almost identical to
Kansas also awaits Sunday night to learn its postseason fate, when the NCAA Regionals are selected. As of now, the Jayhawks are projected to play in the Athens Region against No. 16 Georgia, Kennesaw State and Iona.
"We have to take care of business this weekend against Iowa State for us to even have a chance to be selected," Smith said. "We try not to get ahead of ourselves. I think we've had a great season. I think we have a great resume. If we do a good job against Iowa State this weekend, I think we deserve to get in."

Baseball slated for weekend series against No.7 TCU
WESLEY DOTSON
@WesleyDee23
Fresh off a midweek sweep of the Northwestern Wildcats, the Kansas baseball team will travel to Texas and turn its attention to the No. 7 TCU Horned Frogs this weekend.
The Jayhawks will have their hands full in this Big 12 series matchup. TCU (37-9, 13-5) leads the Big 12 conference in both team batting average at .291, and team pitching with a 2.22 ERA.
A player to watch for TCU is freshman Connor Wanhanen, who is currently batting .378 with 28 RBIs on the season. His batting average leads the Big 12 conference.
However, Kansas (22-28, 7-11) has won two games in a row, and the offense appears like it is finally getting back on track. In the series with Northwestern, the Jayhawks scored a total of 16 runs and recorded 23 hits.
Another notable player is senior Cody Jones. He is tied for third in the Big 12 with his .360 average, and he also has three home runs and 23 RBIs on the season.
Expect junior Ben Krauth to start Friday night's series opener for the Jayhawks. Krauth has been phenomenal as of late, allowing only two earned runs in his past four starts. His seven wins lead the team, and he has anchored the Kansas pitching staff this season.
The TCU lineup is full of great hitters, but expect Krauth to be ready for the challenge.
Senior Drew Morovick is expected to start for Kansas in game two of the series Saturday afternoon. He had his struggles earlier in the season, but he has performed well in his recent starts. His most notable start came on April 11 against the Oklahoma State Cowboys when he threw seven scoreless innings in a victory.
TCU's first-ranked pitching staff in the Big 12 is 12 led by junior Alex Young, who is 9-2 on the season with a 1.46 ERA, and senior Preston Morrison, who is 10-1 with a 2.03 ERA.
After showing signs of breaking out of their offensive slump in the two-game series with Northwestern, the Jayhawks are certainly looking to carry their momentum into this series with TCU.
They will need impact players like senior Dakota Smith, sophomore Michael Tinsley and senior Connor McKay — who now has a 37 game on-base streak, and is tied for third in the Big 12 with his .360 batting average — to continue to be effective.
"I'm just hopeful that [the scheduling of the Northwestern series] pays off," Price said. "Because we're obviously going to have to score [against TCU] to win." Game one of the series will be at 6:30 p.m. Friday night. Saturday's game is scheduled for a 4 p.m. start, and Sunday's series finale is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start.

@DoubleHillix
As seniors prepare to graduate and reflect on their time at Kansas, what sporting events will they remember fondly? With humiliation?
From the embarrassment of one sport to the continued dominance of another, seniors have seen a lot transpire in sports during their four years at the University. Here are some of the biggest events we've witnessed.

But not the type you may have expected. In 2013, after winning the conference title, the women's outdoor track and field team captured the national championship in Eugene, Ore., edging out Texas A&M and Oregon. The Jayhawks placed in the top six in 10 events, including a first-place finish by Lindsay Vollmer in the heptathlon.

WE SAW FOUR REGULAR SEASON
MEN'S BASKETBALL CONFERENCE
TITLES
The streak continues. Kansas has now won at least a share of 11 straight regular season Big 12 titles, which is tied for the second most in college basketball history behind UCLA (13). On Twitter, national college basketball analyst Jay Bilas wrote that the streak is "one of the most remarkable achievements in the game."

After Kansas' victories in the Elite Eight and Final Four, many students flooded Mass Street, as they did after Kansas won the national championship in 2008. Some students took advantage of $25 student ticket prices, making the 14-hour trek to New Orleans to cheer on the team in the Final Four.

Beaty accepted the position to become head coach and resurrect a program that hasn't been to a bowl game since 2008, when Beaty served as a wide receivers coach at Kansas.
WE SAW TWO GOAL POSTS
TAKEN DOWN
After each of the team's two conference wins, students stormed the field and tore down the goal post in the south end zone. While teams normally do this after a big upset over a nationally ranked team, that wasn't the case here. The teams Kansas defeated held a combined record of 2-16 in conference play.
WE SAW THE WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM MAKE BACK-TO-BACK SWEET 16'S
Despite having a losing conference record in 2012 and 2013, the Jayhawks squeaked into the NCAA Tournament both seasons. They made their trips worthwhile, upsetting two teams each year to advance to the Sweet 16. The
most notable tournament victory was a Round of 32 defeat of No. 3 Delaware and Elena Delle Donne, who would go on to be the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming 2012 WNBA Draft.
Unfortunately, these were the only two visits for the Jayhawks in the NCAA Tournament under coach Bonnie Henrickson, who was fired in March after compiling an overall 186-171 record and a 62-122 Big 12 record at Kansas. More than a month later, Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger named Brandon Schneider, the women's basketball coach at Stephen F. Austin, to the same position at Kansas. Schneider won the Division II National Championship as the Emporia State women's basketball coach in 2010.

Sophomore catcher Michael Tinsley watches the ball while at bat. Kansas earned a sweep of Northwestern on Wednesday, winning 10-7. Next up, Kansas faces Texas Christian University.
Kansas sweeps Northwestern on the road
Batting came up clutch on the road as Kansas baseball came back in the final inning of the game to beat Northwestern 10-7 on Wednesday afternoon.
With their win Wednesday, the Jayhawks were able to complete the weekday sweep of the Wildcats as they also earned a 6-2 victory Tuesday. The sweep provided much needed momentum for the Jayhawks as they prepare for one of their toughest tests of the season this weekend against Texas Christian University.
KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
"The momentum factor is huge, we have a lot of enthusiasm heading into the weekend where we'll have to face one of the best pitching staffs in America," coach Ritch Price said. "It was great to see some guys come up late and find a way to get the two-game sweep in a midweek series."
Northwestern struck first as leadoff hitter Scott Heelan sent the first pitch he saw out of the
park to give his squad an early one-run lead.
After producing one hit in each of the first two innings, the Jayhawks found their stride in the batter's box in the bottom of the third. Freshman Tanner Gragg started the inning with a full-count single followed by a base hit from senior Connor McKay. Gragg and McKay's hits sparked a three-run inning for the Jayhawks as senior Blair Beck capped off the side with a two-RBI triple to put his team up 3-1.
The lead wouldn't last long as the Wildcats saw another leadoff home run, this time from senior Luke Dauch. The Wildcat batters followed up with solid hitting, earning them two more runs through the remainder of the inning to take the lead.
The Jayhawks tied the game in the sixth with a sacrifice fly from sophomore Marcus Wheeler, but again the Wildcats struck back. In the seventh inning, the Wildcats got two runners on base early and they
both found home plate as the Wildcats' RJ Watters sent the ball to the opposite side of the field and earn twoRBIs in the process.
While the Jayhawks couldn't get anything going in the eighth, they found themselves down two runs with only one inning to salvage a victory.
"Some weeks you feel good and this is one of those weeks," Martin said, "Everything came together at the right time."
"Some weeks you feel good and this is one of those weeks," Martin said, "Everything came together at the right time."
T.J. MARTIN
Freshman catcher
McKay reached first base on a throwing error to start the ninth inning with a man on base. Senior Dakota Smith took the batter's box next and embraced the pressure in veteran fashion by hitting a clutch home run to tie the game. Two outs immediately
followed, and it looked as if Northwestern would have an opportunity to win in the bottom of the ninth.
The Jayhawks had other plans.
The bomb was Martin's second home run of the series as he had a solo home run in Tuesday's game against the Wildcats.
With two outs, the Jayhawks managed to get the bases loaded with freshman T.J. Martin up to bat. Martin passed on the first pitch, saying it wasn't a good pitch for him to swing at early in the count. The second pitch came in and Martin blasted it over the fence down the left field line. The grand slam put the Jayhawks up by four in the final inning.
The Jayhawks were able to get a full rotation in the batting order as they produced five hits and six runs in their
last inning. The Wildcats fought back and cut the lead with a run of their own, but it wasn't enough. The Jayhawks took the game 10-7 to earn the midweek sweep.
Price's offense produced 14 hits on Wednesday afternoon and 23 total in the series. The coach's reason for scheduling the series was for his batters to see reps in the batter's box and experience game-speed pitching to prepare for TCU this weekend.
"It'll be a lot firmer when we go into this weekend than what we saw in this midweek series," Price said. "The purpose of the trip was to get game-speed and to get as many reps for our hitters as possible and hopefully it will carry over to the weekend."
The Jayhawks will travel down to Fort Worth, Texas, for a big 12 matchup against the league-leading Horned Frogs. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m. Friday, May 8.

Stigler named Big 12 Track and Field Athlete of the Week
Senior hurdler Michael Stigler was named the Big 12 Track and Field Athlete of the Week on Wednesday for a third time in his career and a second time this season. The award came on the heels of his 48.86 timing in the 400-meter hurdles over the weekend in the Rock Chalk Classic.
In addition to his 400-meter hurdles performance Saturday, Stigler also closed out a victory for the Kansas 4x400 relay team of senior Kenneth McCuin and juniors Jaime Wilson and Drew Matthews. The team finished with an impressive time of 3:11.97.
Stigler's first Athlete of the Week award came after his performance at the Texas Relays in March, when he clocked a world-leading time of 48.44 seconds in the 400-meter hurdles. He holds the top two spots in college ranks with each time and the first- and fourth-best times in the world.

Senior hurdler Michael Stigler is a three-time All American and a three-time Big 12 Champion.
AARON GROENE/KANSAN
Michael Stigler close to his dream come true
G.J. MELIA
@gjmelia
Senior hurdler Michael Stigler began as all Texas boys begin. Introduced to the football culture of the state at 8 years old, Stigler didn't begin running track until seventh grade. Even his now world-leading hurdling talent was discovered by accident.
As children, we all have dreams. As 20-something college students, few of us are actually close to seeing those dreams come true.
Stigler grew up in Canyon, Texas, a suburb of Amarillo. Stigler, 22, is the oldest of four children. He has a tattoo of three doves on his chest with the words "brothers' keeper" below them. These represent his two brothers, Jesse, 20, and Scott, 10, as well as a sister, Fayth, 13.
He relishes the role of being someone to look up to for his siblings.
"I take my family seriously," Stigler said. "Whatever I have to do to provide for them, to be a good influence for them, to head them in the right path of the life, that's what I'm going to do."
When Stigler began track in seventh grade, he started as a distance runner mainly running mile events. One day after practice he was messing around and decided to jump a hurdle.
"The hurdle coach saw me and took me away from distance, turned me into a hurder," Stigler said. "That day I jumped the hurdle, [the coach] actually told me I could go to college for it, in seventh grade." And so the legend began
He was recruited to play cornerback by Louisiana Tech and New Mexico, as well as Division II West Texas A&M. For track, he considered Kansas and Texas Tech, but received interest from Baylor and Texas A&M. West Texas A&M was the only school that gave him the opportunity to play both sports.
It wasn't until his senior year the Stigler chose track over football. He said he's always felt he made the right decision, but had he been recruited by Kansas to play football, he would have competed in both sports.
When recruiting Stigler, sprints and hurdles assistant coach Elisha Brewer and coach Stanley Redwine saw him having all the attributes to become a great athlete. In addition they said he had the "it" factor, or the intangibles of a hard-working athlete.
"When you see an athlete of Michael's caliber, you see something special," Brewer said. "It's just one of those things as a
coach you can see. You can see it again on a day-to-day basis how he approaches the sport, how important it is to him to be successful."
Stigler sprinted into his freshman year at Kansas, winning the 400-meter hurdles at the Kansas Relays, as well as earning his first Big 12 Championship. At the Big 12 meet, he set a school record in the event. He placed sixth at the NCAA Championships, giving him First-Team All-American honors.
"He didn't see himself as a freshman who had to wait," Brewer said. "I think he saw himself as one of the best. I think he came in as an underdog, but I think that's what drove him to winning."
Following the 2012 season Stigler competed in the 2012 U. S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore. He made it to the finals, where the top three finishers would go to London. As a 19-year-old just completing his freshman year of college, Stigler placed seventh, 1.75 seconds away from representing the United States.
"When you see an athlete of Michael's caliber, you see something special."
ELISHA BREWER
Sprints and hurdles
assistant coach
"I finally realized, 'Hey, this is something I can do,'" Stigler said. "And just being so close to something makes you want it a little bit more. I feel like it gave me that passion and drive to want it even more."
Stigler is a three-time First-Team All-American in the 400-meter hurdles. In 2013, he finished runner-up at the NCAA Championships. Last year, Stigler again came up short, finishing runner-up at the national meet. He said he's used it as one of his biggest motivators.
"At the end, I couldn't keep my head down because I knew I had another year," Stigler said. "Crossing the line in second place, it hurt. But it was definitely just more motivation for me to come out and push myself even more."
Stigler said consistent success throughout his career has only humbled him more. He said it has helped him stay focused on the main goal of winning a national championship.
"Placing top two and top three at [National Championships] is a great accomplishment," Stigler said. "But for me, it's something I've done, and everyone wants to win, and I'm a competitor. With these meets coming up, I just need to stay focused and knowing there's a bigger picture at the end of the day."
Saying Stigler has had an accomplished career in a Kansas uniform would be a large understatement. He's a three-time All-American and a three-time Big 12 Champion. He's a three-time champion at the Texas Relays and a two-time champion at the Kansas Relays, two of the larger regular season meets Kansas competes in.
"I think winning has become habit for him," Redwine said. "He knows what to do, he knows how to prepare himself and get it together."
If that weren't impressive enough, he is among 10 finalists for the Bowerman: the track and field equivalent to the Naismith award in basketball or the Heisman in football. This year, he holds the first- and fourth-best times in the 400-meter hurdles on the planet. He's also looking to close out a career sweep of the event two weeks from now at the Big 12 Championships.
It's not that he just wants to win for himself. Bringing' a title home to his coaches is what drives him. Or as he describes it, "pushing myself to the extreme limit that I can possibly take my body."
But there is still the one box that has gone unchecked in his four historic years in Lawrence: bringing a National Championship back to the University he's already destroyed the record books for.
During his sophomore year. Stigler bought Brewer a card thanking her for their relationship and coaching.At the end of the card.Stigler wrote "Rio '16," meaning the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
"In high school I was just running and didn't really know how good I could be," Stigler said.
Now he knows. He's known how good he could be since his freshman year, and each year, he's raised the bar. He is a Big 12 Champion; he is an All-American. He can be a National Champion; he can be an Olympian.
The thing about Stigler's story is it's nowhere near the end. It's not even to the climax.
And that's how legends are made: with an outlandish talent and a dream that slowly develops into a reality. That is Michael Stigler's story.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"There's no question in my mind he cari do it. None. He can legit long-snap at the NLF level."

THE MORNING BREW
Former Green Beret gets chance at NFL
USA Today Sports
Nate Boyer isn't your average long snapper. He stands at 5-foot-11 and
weighs 220 pounds. Along with being on the shorter side, Boyer is also 34 years old.
He wants teams to look past his age and rather take a look at the success he's achieved during his life.
In a time where off-the-field issues, such as arrests on suspicion of drugs or violence, plague many rookies, teams won't have to deal with those problems when it comes to Boyer.
Before suited up as a football player, Boyer spent several years of his life in the military as a Green Beret, serving two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. The start of his military career spurred from watching the Sept. 11 attacks.

"I was figuring out a lot about
myself, I guess," Boyer said to USA Today Sports. "But it was kind of selfish. I wasn't really doing anything for anybody else."
He went undrafted in the NFL draft and was signed by the Seattle Seahawks as a free agent.
"I didn't know what to say," Boyer
told ESPN. "It's so cool."
But his road wasn't easy. He hadn't played a down of football in his life before he stepped on to the University of Texas' campus. He walked onto the program and soon became one of the best long snappers the university had ever seen.
Boyer had more than 500 snaps during his collegiate career, and he executed each one perfectly. He was also tasked with the job of running the flag onto the field before each home game.
"He's such a hard worker," Texas coach Charlie Strong said in a statement. "Any time someone represents your country, when you talk about courage, you talk about honor, that's what it's all about. I love him so

much. He did a great job, he's an unbelievable leader, and he's going to be truly missed in our program."
Despite earning his chance with the Seahawks, making the roster will be difficult. Clint Gresham has been
in the NFL for six seasons, and having multiple long snappers on an NFL roster is highly unlikely.

lan Kennedy shuts down Giants as Padres avoid road sweep
San francisco Giants' Matt Duffy scores the Giants' first run after Nori Ackle singed on a line drive to center field in the third inning of their baseball game against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday in San Francisco.
ERIC RISBERG/ASSOCIATED PRESS
JANIE MCCAULEY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Ian Kennedy struck out five in seven innings to win his second straight start, and the San Diego Padres defeated San Francisco 9-1 on Wednesday to avoid a sweep and stop the Giants' eight-game home streak.
Rookie Austin Hedges hit an RBI single in the decisive five-run third for his first major league hit, then added a sacrifice fly in the eighth. He earned his first start at catcher, two days after being called up from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.
He also threw out Nori Aoki at second following his RBI single in the third, and Kennedy (2-1) pointed to the catcher, acknowledging the heads-up play.
At 22 years, 261 days, Hedges became the youngest catcher to start a game for San Diego since Ben Davis made 71 starts in 1999 beginning at 22 years, 106 days.
Matt Kemp hit a run-scoring double in the third to end
a 22-inning scoreless stretch by the Padres and 29 innings by Giants pitchers.
Wil Myers had an RBI triple among his three hits, Jedd Gyorko added an RBI double and run-scoring single, and Justin Upton drew a career-high four walks.
The Giants tried to get in touch with Hall of Famer Willie Mays on his 84th birthday and showed highlights between innings of the Say Hey Kid on the big screen. He watched from home as public address announcer Renel Brooks-Moon led "Happy Birthday" in the middle of the fifth.
"He's the face of the Giants," manager Bruce Bochy said.
Kennedy didn't walk a batter, gave up six hits and improved to 10-4 in 22 starts against the Giants. He left his start in the April 9 home opener facing San Francisco with a strained left hamstring and went on the disabled list. He lost his first start back.
Alexi Amarista doubled among his three hits and drove
in a run. Cory Spangenberg hit three singles as San Diego's bats got going against Chris Heston (2-3) after being shut out the previous two nights and going 0 for 13 with runners in scoring position.
Heston, who made his first career start against the Padres on Sept. 28, allowed 11 hits to match his season high, five runs, struck out four and walked three in five innings. The Giants had their five-game winning streak snapped with just their fifth loss in 16 games following an eight-game skid.
The Giants missed getting a third straight sweep at AT&T Park, something they haven't done at home since May 6-22, 2011, against Colorado, Arizona and Cincinnati.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Giants: Catcher Buster Fosey had the day off. Right-handed pitcher Jake Peavy, on the disabled list with a strained back, is slated to throw a bullpen session Friday then the Giants will likely send him on a rehab assignment. Rightfielder Hunter
Padres: Manager Bud Black plans to give his starters an extra day of rest after Monday's off day. ..1B Yonder Alonso returned to the Padres lineup after missing two games. He left Sunday's game against Colorado in the eighth inning after being hit
in the shoulder by a pitch.
Pence, who has a fractured left forearm, is scheduled to hit live battles practice Thursday.
UP NEXT
Padres: Right-handed pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne makes his third start of the season and seventh appearance against the Diamondbacks as San Diego
continues its nine-game road trip that ends with two in Seattle on Tuesday and Wendnesday.
Giants: Coming off his first win of the year, right-handed pitcher Tim Hudson (1-2) looks to improve on his 15-4 career mark against the Marlins. Hudson has won his last six against Miami.

SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
The time has finally come. The day you have all been waiting for.
Since March 30, the Kansan has been doing a competition based off fan voting to determine who has been the Face of the Streak. Starting from a pool of 32 players, every day a new individual matchup was released, with the readers having the chance to vote for their favorite.
The official winner of the Face of the Streak competition is former guard Sherron Collins.
Many players have come and gone, for the past 11 years, but one thing has remained the same: Kansas being named Big 12 regular season champs.
During this impressive stretch, Bill Self has had plenty of talented players. Currently,
Mario Chalmers has had the most successful professional career. Andrew Wiggins may surpass him when it's all said and done. Self even claimed Wayne Simien was the best player he has ever coached.
But this competition was not to figure who will have the most luxurious NBA career, or who was the most talented player. This competition was to identify who the fans believe is considered the symbol of the streak.
Much similar to the way Collins bullied his way through Big 12 defenses, he plowed through the bracket all the way to the finals. In round one against current guard Wayne Selden Jr., Collins received 91 percent of the votes.
In his second matchup, Collins was on the winning side of a lopsided matchup against Bern McLemore, receiving 61
Both the second and third matchup was much closer than Collins' Final Four matchup. Facing another one-and-done in Andrew Wiggins, Collins racked up 74 percent of the votes.
percent of the votes. That trend continued into the Elite 8, when 62.9 percent of fans voted Collins over Brandon Rush.
Even in the Championship, Collins avoided a close contest. Collins' 57 percent of the votes in the final matchup, against his former teammate Mario Chalmers.
Due to his game-tying three in the 2008 National Championship, Chalmers was an early favorite to win the competition. Unlike Collins, Chalmers had a contested path to the title game, having to knock off Thomas Robinson.
At the end of the day,the fans' voices have been heard.In an
era where college basketball has been dominated by one-and-done players, a player like Collins who stayed all four years are the exception rather than the norm.
In his four-year career, Collins averaged 13.2 points per contest, putting on the Kansas jersey in 143 collegiate games. He finished with fifth-most points in Kansas history, with 1,888 points accumulated throughout his career.
He ended his career as the winningest Jayhawk of all-time, before Tyrel Reed dethroned him.
Kansas fans have seen plenty of players come and go through the past 11 years, but only one has the impact on the fans that Collins has had.
That's why it's Sherron Collins cutting down the nets in the Face of the Streak.

Highlights from the bracket
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
Over the past seven weeks, Kansas basketball fans have been voting on who should be considered the best player of Bill Self's 12-year career as head coach of the layhawks, which includes a still-active streak of 11 consecutive Big 12 conference championships.
At long last, a winner was declared Wednesday. Sherron Collins, a superstar point guard, who led the Jayhawks from 2006-10, knocked out former teammate Mario Chalmers in the championship round.
BEST MATCHUP
BIGGEST UPSET
The #FaceOfTheStreak bracket matchups were certainly eventful. One of the best matches came when forward Thomas Robinson matched up with Chalmers in the Elite Eight. Two of the most beloved Jayhawks of all time, Robinson and Chalmers went back and forth before Chalmers ultimately won by a final margin of 55.6 percent in favor of Chalmers to 44.4 percent in favor of Robinson.
TOUGHEST PATH
One of the biggest upsets in the bracket came when Wayne Simien knocked out Jeff Withey in the Elite Eight. Simien, who averaged 19 points, 10 rebounds and one assist during his two-year Kansas career, defeated Withey, Kansas' all-time leading shot-blocker, by 35.2 total percentage points.
Robinson had perhaps the toughest route to the Final Four, having to face Sasha Kaun, Russell Robinson and Chalmers. Chalmers eventually defeated Robinson in their Elite Eight matchup to advance to the Final Four.
EASTIEST PATH
Interestingly enough, Andrew Wiggins, Kansas' record-setting freshman, had the easiest path to the Final Four, only having to take down Josh Selby, Darnell Jackson and Tyshawn Taylor before Collins eliminated him from the bracket.
BEST NBA CAREER
Two of Self's brightest NBA stars made it to the Final Four. Chalmers, who was drafted in the second round by the Minnesota Timberwolves, has enjoyed great team success in the NBA as a member of the Miami Heat, a team he joined in 2011.
As a member of the Heat, Chalmers won two NBA titles, although mainly with the help of LeBron James. Over the course of his pro career, Chalmers has averaged 8.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals.
Although he only joined the NBA in 2014, Wiggins may very easily become the biggest star that Self has produced. Wiggins won NBA Rookie of the Year after averaging 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in his first year. He was drafted No. 1 overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers, but ended up on the Minnesota Timberwolves in a trade involving forward Kevin Love. The best is yet to come for Wiggins, as he can only get better.
The Self era has seen Kansas basketball reach unprecedented levels of success. The Jayhawks have been one of the most consistently great basketball programs over the past 11 years. Even though Self is a big reason why that is possible, the players he has coached have been a major reason why Kansas possesses one of the most impressive streaks in modern sports.

Graduation Guide 2014-2015
The time of year where sanity goes to die: finals week. Sleep is harder to come by than an open table at Anschutz. Your blood has turned into coffee.
They've been here for four (or five or six) years. Once finals are over, the seniors, along with graduate students, will walk through the Campanile and down the hill. Their collegiate careers will be finished.
It's been a long year. So much has happened here since August. We've had a masked man on campus protest in classrooms. We've seen President Obama. We've witnessed an 11th-straight Big 12 Championship.
That's what college is about — making friends and forming lasting relationships. Only sometimes, those friends are a few years older than you, and at some point, you have to say goodbye.
As a sophomore, I have a little while before that time, but I know several people who will be tossing their caps on Sunday. And I have no idea what I'm going to do without them.
The only math you care about is the percent you need on your final exam to bump up your grade.
Aside from taking tests and writing papers we're busy attending every basketball game. We're busy with our clubs and organizations. We're busy working long hours so we can afford to pay our rent.
We all deserve a break after finals are finished. Who deserves a break more than anyone else? The seniors.
Here's to the seniors. Congratulations.
You've done great things and you're going off to do even bigger and better things.
You're excited for your friends, as they've achieved their biggest accomplishment thus far, but a little piece of you resents them, ever so slightly, for leaving you behind.
Here's to everyone. We've made it through another year. That's something to be proud of.

What college taught me: Do things that scare you
A
s a senior getting ready to leave this lovely University, I guess my
advice to you would be this: Do things that scare you.
Do you remember how someone looks when you first meet them? You reach out your hand and say, "Hi, my name's Paige. It's so nice to meet you." You ask what they study and where they're from. You know, typical freshman questions.
PAIGELYTLE
@plytle27
Then, months later when you're sitting on the floor together eating Jimmy John's or pizza (probably pizza), sharing stories, you look at them and see them in an entirely different light. They're almost unrecognizable. It's like that person you met earlier was a shell of the person who would become so important to you.
SANDBAR
Florida st
I can say that about every one of my friends I've made here. Not that they were a shell of a
Five semesters ago I walked into the University Daily Kansan newsroom and sat down for an interview to be a correspondent copy editor. I had just decided to switch to journalism and knew I needed to get involved with the newspaper to boost my résume. I had no idea that two years from that point I'd be walking out of the newsroom as managing editor. What started out as a few-hours-a-week job became my life.
today. But it did.
human until I graced them with my presence, but that they were a mystery, full of potential. I never would have guessed how important they would be to me until later.
KRISTEN SELSTAD/KANSAN
"I won't remember staying up late to study ... I'll remember leaving someone mid-conversation when " Ignition (Remix)" came on at the Sandbar."
I can say the same thing about my entire experience at the University of Kansas. I knew my four years at the University would be important to me, but I had no idea just how big of an impact it would have. I remember walking through campus and never once thinking about how it all would become part of who I am
I won't remember staying up late to study for a final or whatever I learned in Western Civ. Instead I'll remember the late nights that ended in a trip to Muncher's at 2 a.m. for a cream cheese doughnut. I'll remember the ringing in my ears after Thomas Robinson's block against Mizzou's Phil Presssey. I'll remember sitting on the roof of my friends' apartment complex. I'll
remember taking naps on stacks of newspapers after producing The Kansan's 72- back Back To School behemoth. I'll remember leaving someone mid-conversation when "Ignition (Remix)" came on at the Sandbar.
I'm about to embark on the biggest adventure of my young
life — the leap into the wide unknown. I'm going to spread my figurative wings and fly and hopefully not get sucked into the engine of the airplane called life.
Had I not moved into a dorm, applied for The Kansan, studied abroad in Ireland, etc., I would have wasted my time
here. I would have walked through the Campanile this Sunday and asked myself if I had done all that I could.
But instead, I'm going to walk through and remember how beautiful these four years have been. Then I'll go back to focusing on not falling down the hill in my heels.

What they don't tell you about college as a freshman
W when the word "college" comes to mind,you
probably think "the best four years of your life" because that's what everyone tells you.
HANNAH BARLING
@hannahovazme
I'm not here to tell you this is not the case, because in my personal experience, my four years at the University have been just that — the best moments of my 22 years of living. However, there are some things they don't tell you. And that is what I'm here for.
People tell you to make the most of your college experience because time flies, but they can't tell you just how fast.
A friend, whose teacher gave them this golden thought nugget, told me the other day
that "college years are like dog years," and it has stuck with me since. Time flies and so much changes in one year. How could it possibly have only been 365 days?
Significant others come and go, classes are aced and failed, parties get out of hand and mistakes are made. But this is what shapes you. Experience teaches you. Failure proves that
you can get back up. Friends are there to hold your hand along the wav.
I chose The Kansan as my extracurricular activity to devote my time and energy to and am so thankful my freshman-year self made that decision. It has taught me more about myself and the ever-changing field of journalism than anything else.
Studying abroad in Germany taught me more than I could have ever imagined — but we'll save that for another column.
The point is this: Don't just find your "Kansan" or study abroad. Do more.
They tell you it will be the best time of your life,but they don't tell you it will also be the hardest.
Graduating high school and
leaving home is nothing short of exciting; new school, new friends, new parties. But it's also exhausting. Studying takes on a whole new meaning when you have three finals on the same day. Unlimited food per each Mrs. E's trip gets old when it's the same chicken strips, pizza and sandwiches every time.
School does come first, don't get me wrong — you aren't left with tens of thousands of dollars of debt when you graduate for nothing. But I encourage you to look outside of the classroom for learning opportunities. Spend your time doing things that you will remember decades from now.
For example: It's Friday, your favorite artist is playing a show four hours away and your friends are begging you to come, in but order to make it in time, you have to skip your afternoon class. If your final grade absolutely depends on it, stay. But if not, then what's the harm?
three points of attendance I missed that Friday. I remember my dad's birthday, not the assignment I stayed up all night finishing so I could head home for the weekend. I remember the laughs, the days spent at Clinton Lake and the hours in the car adventuring to somewhere new.
You start to miss mom's cooking and how easy high school was, and maybe you even wish you could be a freshman forever, but don't. Because when you're sitting in my shoes as a senior with less than one week until graduation, you'll think differently.
I remember the long weekend I spent in St. Louis with my best friends, not the
You're told to get your work done, do it well and get good grades, but find that necessary
So as a graduating senior who is struggling with parting from this beautiful campus I've been fortunate enough to call home, I ask you to make the most of your years here. Don't be afraid to choose fun over responsibility every once in a while.
balance.
Grades are final at the end of each semester, but the friends you meet your first night in the dorms and the memories you've made are forever.

Places to study
AMIE JUST
@amie_just
If you get distracted at your apartment, dorm, house or wherever you live, here are some on-campus places to study during finals week.
Anschutz Library Anschutz was voted by Kansan readers as the best library in Lawrence. There are quiet study areas with small tables and group study areas with big tables throughout the four floors. If you get there at the right time, there are a variety of comfortable chairs. Anschutz is open 24/7 during finals week.
1. Anschutz Library
2. Watson Library Looking for something a little more quiet? Watson is the place to go. The biggest library on campus has five floors and many intimate spaces to study. Watson will be open 8 a.m. to 3 a.m. Monday through Thursday
3. Spencer Library
3. Spencer Library
If you're not going to be studying late into the night, Spencer is one of the quietest places on campus to study. It isn't as spacious as Anschutz or Watson because of the restricted areas, but it won't be highly trafficked.
2. Watson Library
4. Kansas Union
4. Kansas Union.
The Kansas Union has many available places to study. There are lots of tables and chairs on the third and fourth floors, as well as several rooms scattered throughout the building that won't have people in them during the week.
5. Adams Alumni Center Are you a student alumni member? If so, you can study at the Adams Alumni Center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
ANSCHUTZ LIBRARY
Anschutz Library was voted the best library in Lawrence by Kansan readers. During finals week, Anschutz will be open 24/7.The library offers solo and group study areas on each of its four floors.

The eternal, unresponsive sky.
Against all this, Youth,
Flaming like the wild roses,
Singing like the larks over the plowed fields,
Flashing like a star out of the twilight;
Youth with its insupportable sweetness,
Its fierce necessity,
Its sharp desire,
Singing and singing,
Out of the lips of silence,
Out of the earthy dusk.
Because the stars know things that we don't

This year in sports
Kansas Athletics' ups and downs make 2014-15 a rollercoaster year
SCOTT CHASEN
@schasenku
For Kansas athletics, the past year certainly had a lot in store. During various points of the year, three men were able to call themselves the Kansas head football coach, while on the flip side, Kansas men's basketball stayed consistent as always, earning its 11th-consecutive Big 12 regular-season title. Kansas softball took off and is continuing its season, while a couple sports may have taken a small step back.
It was certainly an interesting year, and it's definitely intriguing to see how it all broke down.
EVER STRICHT
Kansas men's basketball wins 11 straight
Coming into the season, the University of Kansas was anything but a lock to rack up another Big 12 title. Fans of the team questioned everything from the toughness, to the point guard play, in the end, those who doubted learned their lesson.
Once again: The Big 12 went through Lawrence.
The Kansas men's basketball team secured its 11th-straight Big 12 title this season.
Frank Mason III burst onto the scene, like a certain rap song with a similar name. Perry Ellis also picked up steam in conference play. It was no shock both received conference honors.
Ellis and Mason were complemented by some timely shooting from Brannen Greene, not to mention the emergence of Kelly Oubre Jr., as the Jayhawks finished the year with an impressive record of 27-9.
The Jayhawks ended up winning the Big 12 outright, capturing an 11th straight title.
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
The Kansas football coach(es) While the basketball team
continued its impressive mark of consistency, the football team found there to be next to none in the head coaching position. Charlie Weis was fired midseason following a disappointing start to the year, and defensive coordinator Clint Bowen took over.
Bowen was able to get the Jay-hawks a win in conference play, but it wasn't enough for him to keep the job moving forward.
Instead, former Texas A&M wide receivers coach David Beaty was given the lead position, and he wasted little time ushering a new mentality.
"Earn it" became the popular phrase after Beaty's press conferences, and despite the current challenges, it seems like the Jayhawks may be eventually headed for long-term success.
Stein's record-breaking performance
basketball team has a new coach:
Brandon Schneider.
That was the date when Maddie Stein recorded her 141st career RBI, setting the new Kansas record. Stein's impressive play was a huge part of the Jayhawks' dominance, especially in non-conference play.
On the season, Stein is batting a remarkable .368, and she leads the team in doubles with 16. She's also in the top five on the team in walks, home runs, RBIs, slugging percentage, on base percentage and fielding percentage.
The Jayhawks are 38-13 heading into the NCAA Tournament, having gone 30-3 against non-conference foes. And they even wound up on SportsCenter more than once.
Schneider most recently coached at Stephen F. Austin. However, in his time at Emporia State, Schneider really made a name for himself. He totaled a record of 306-72, making him the winningest coach in program history.
Women's basketball makes a change
For the first time in more than a decade, the Kansas women's
Schneider also led the Hornets to a national championship, albeit at the Division II level.
The layhawks are bringing in a strong recruiting class, which includes three four-star recruits and four recruits with a grade of 90 or higher.
With developing talent to work with, Schneider should have no problem raising the bar and getting the team to finish in the top half of the Big 12 standings, at least over the next few years.
Stigler hurdles the competition
Michael Stigler continued to add to his trophy case, one that coming into the season already included three First Team All-American honors, a big 12 Freshman Male Track Athlete of the Year award and a Male Track Athlete of the Year award.
And even now, the job is far from done, as Stigler aims to make it as a U.S. Olympian for the 2016 games.
As a senior, Stigler posted the fastest recorded time in the world in the 400-meter hurdles, at least for this year, and that was just one of many marks he accomplished.
The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Association named Stigler as one of the top male athletes of the year, and he earned Big 12 Athlete of the Week honors, and he even picked up National Athlete of the Week honors.

Michael Stigler, a senior from Canyon, Texas, posted the fastest time in the 400-meter hurdles in the world this season. He was also awarded with Big 12 Athlete of the Week and National Athlete of the week Honors.
I'll just use the text as is.

This year in news
From masked men to President Barack Obama, the University saw a lot happen on campus
MACKENZIE CLARK
AMIE JUST

@amie_just
WASHINGTON, D.C.
News happens every day. The Kansan has produced 121 issues and 10 special sections since August. Therefore, it would be nearly impossible to rehash every story he Kansan has published this year. Instead, here are some highlights.
Masked men on campus One man, wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, recognizable from the movie "V for Vendetta" entered classrooms in Budig Hall and Wescoe Hall on the afternoon of Nov. 5. In some of the larger lecture halls, he interrupted classes to make statements in protest of sexual assault. He called for punishment of alleged assault perpetrators and threatened action. The man was arrested and plead not guilty to charges of disorderly conduct and obstruction of legal process. The man was joined by one other man, who was also protesting the campus' handling of sexual assault.
Rock Chalk Barack
Rock Chalk Barack On Jan. 22, President Barack Obama visited the University and spoke at Anschutz Sports Pavilion. He revisited his State of the Union address and discussed middle class families, child care and his Kansas roots. More than 6,000 people attended the speech, including selected students who were invited to stand behind Obama. He was the first.

NEWS FROM PAGE 8
sitting president of the United States to visit the University since William H. Taft in 1911.
Open records requests denied
Starting in September, the Kansan news staff filed 11 Kansas Open Records Act requests with the University in regard to sexual assaults that have occurred on campus. The University denied all of these requests, but released some heavily redacted records to The Kansani's legal representation on April 24. From the redacted records, it appears the University issued a variety of different sanctions for violations of the same sexual harassment policy.
VAN CHEZEN
State cuts University funding Governor Sam Brownback announced a 2 percent cut in funding for higher education statewide in February. In April, the Kansas legislature proposed a tuition freeze for the six major Regents Universities for two years, rather than approve cuts that would have decreased funding to KU by $9.4 million. In a public message April 20, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in the last 15 years, per-student state support has decreased 40 percent. The tuition freeze could have a greater detriment than the original proposed cuts, according to Joe Monaco, interim director of strategic communications.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAM On Nov. 5, two masked men protested sexual assault on campus.
