Your peers don't drink as much as you think
Health officials say misperceptions can lead some to overindulge

When Becca Levine came to campus as a freshman, she thought everyone would be partying all the time. Her concept of student life was shaped by movies such as "Animal House" and other images popularized by TV and social media. She soon realized she had an exaggerated view of student behavior. "I thought, coming into the college, you had to drink if you wanted to be social, especially in different organizations," said Levine, a senior from St. Louis. "I came up with an assumption that you have to force [yourself] to drink, or I would stand out if I didn't in a social situation." Such perceptions worry health officials, who say students who overinflate the drinking habits of their peers are at risk of over-drinking themselves.
"When individuals perceive a certain behavior to be normal, that will change their behavior," said Jenny McKee, director of the University's Health Education Resource Office.
In a recent survey of more than 425 University undergraduate students as part of the 2015 National College Health Survey, 32 percent of first-year students said they thought "typical" students drank on 10-19 days of the last 30 days. However, when asked how much they drank, 14 percent said they actually drink that often.
For second-year students,
the gap' was
even larger
OUR HEALTH
34 percent of second-year students said their peers drank 10-19 days in the past month, compared with 5 percent who said they drank that frequently.
The University results mirror national studies, which show that students commonly overestimate how much other students drink. A study of National College Health Assessment data from 2000 to 2003 found that students at 130 schools overestimated both the frequency and amount of alcohol consumed by their peers. This was true for schools where many students abstained from drinking, as well as for schools where students reported drinking three or four drinks the last time they went out. The study found that perception of the campus drinking norm is the "strongest predictor" of the amount a student personally consumes.
Mckee said the gap between what students think their peers are doing versus actual behavior may be based on hearing about or seeing extreme behavior. The drinking habits of others can be amplified in the minds of students, which can, in turn, cause students to drink more, McKee said.
"If you're seeing these statistical outlying behaviors of people being transported to the hospital, or seeing people passed out, or seeing people throwing up, or you are constantly faced or hearing stories of people being very, very drunk, that might lead a student who might drink occasionally — but is not a regular thing to do

Precious Porras, interim director for the Office of Multicultural Affairs and final candidate for the vacant OMA director position, presents on Friday on the topic of "Strategic Leadership at KU's Office of Multicultural Affairs." The presentation is at 11 a.m. in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union.
The first candidate, Festus Ado-Yobo, director of Black Programs at New Mexico State University, presented on Monday. Andre Brown, federal outreach and student service program director at Arizona State University, presented on Tuesday. All candidates present on the same topic.
Jerry Crawford, associate journalism professor and chair
"We want someone who can come in here and speak on more than just saying, 'I want to help students,'" he said. "We want to look at how they can incorporate everything from not just students, but faculty, staff, the community, retention and Endowment. So systematically, they need to be able to look at how the program works."
of the search committee, said the topic was selected because of the importance of strategic planning in leading a University program.

Frank Angel, a University student, talked about his experience on campus as a Native American student, the lack of Native American representation on campus and his frustrations about the lack of education in what it means to be a Native American student. He recalled a time when he mentioned he was Native American and a peer said "you look awful white to me."
He spoke in detail of social plans, like having speakers come in to talk, having debates and other social gatherings to get students involved in the multicultural center. Addo-Yobo also answered questions and discussed the disconnect between the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University.
In response, Addo-Yobo suggested students use instances such as those as teachable moments for other students.
of color face and his plans for the multicultural center.
"I liked him, and I liked a few of the responses that he gave, but ultimately I felt like he was beating around the bush a little bit, and he didn't answer my question specifically or my friend Omar Rana's question specifically," Angel said. "And it was just a little tiring. I felt there was a little tension in the room because people were getting tired of it, and I kind of was, too. But, over all, I think he was alright."
Crawford was also present momentarily at the meeting. Crawford encouraged everyone to visit the provost office's website to leave their thoughts on the candidate.
"Your voice will be heard, and we will read everything, and we will not discount it," Crawford said.
Andre Brown
"My philosophy as an educator is to change lives through the opportunity of education," he said. "[In the Office of Multicultural Affairs] You can't just wait for students to come to you. You have to go to them, and I believe that wholeheartedly."
Brown also emphasized building a relationship between academic departments and the OMA by ensuring the curriculum and opportunities presented to students prepare them to be constructive members of society.
Brown highlighted the importance of collaboration and student retention during his Tuesday presentation.
"Why not stand to develop a relationship with each academic college? College is to get an education and to eventually gain employment," he said. "So how do we provide support and scholarship opportunities for students to be successful? In addition to being University of Kansas students, you also want to be successful, productive citizens."
Brown said that in order for organizations like the OMA to succeed, student voices must be heard.
"The bottom line is this: You
need to listen to students," he said. "You need to hear their concerns, and you have to have a dialogue. I want to know what your concerns are."
Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk tweeted after Brown's presentation that they hadn't been impressed with either of the firs two candidates.

All candidate presentations will be available to view online after the final presentation. Attendees of the presentations are invited to give feedback to the search committee by 8 a.m. on Dec. 7. Crawford said the committee will meet to review feedback and forward a recommendation to Vice Provost for Diversity and Equity Nate Thomas as soon as possible.

A U.S. Department of Health and Human Services study of alcohol trends from 1977 to 2008 suggested that college students are more likely than their non-college-student peers to confine their drinking to weekends, which may help explain why they binge

Binge drinking and over consuming alcohol, in general, can lead to health, behavior and academic problems. Among the University students surveyed, about a third said they forgot where they were or what they did while drinking in the past 12 months. About 21 percent reported having unprotected sex after consuming alcohol. Media influences also play a role in student perceptions. Lawrence made national headlines earlier this year when Business Insider named it the most hungover city in America, based on high rates of heavy or binge drinking and the large number of bars

Student liaison internship created

@McKennaHartford
City commissioners approved the creation of a student liaison intern position at its meeting on Tuesday night. The position was created in partnership with Student Senate and Haskell Indian Nations University.
The liaison intern will work on projects for the city and represent the needs of students at both universities, according to a statement from Student
Senate. The internship is a paid position and will require 15-20 hours a week. It begins in January.
Student Senate Government Relations Director Stephonn Alcorn said the position will help solidify relationships with the City of Lawrence and Haskell. Alcorn said the position also gives students a voice in the local government.
"It's important because students in Lawrence and students at KU live in Lawrence — we don't exist in a bubble."
said in the statement.
Alcorn said, "We are part of the community"
Alcorn said that improving relationships with the City of Lawrence was an Advance KU initiative proposed in last spring's Student Senate election, and he and the Student Legislative Advisory Board have worked on it this year.
No one has been selected for the position yet. All students can apply but must meet criteria, like being a degree-seeking student. Criteria has not been finalized yet. More information about the applications, deadlines and position will be released soon.

A tobacco-use ban could be a catalyst for KU policy
NSCHUTZ LIBRARY
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
A new Lawrence Parks and Recreation policy could limit smoking in public parks.
DARBY VANHOUTAN
@darbyvanhoutan
Parks in Lawrence could soon be tobacco-free if a draft policy passes.
Lawrence Parks and Recreation created a draft in November that would ban tobacco use on its land and in all parks. Similar policies were drafted in 2013 and 2014, but neither passed through the Parks and Recreation Department.
Charlie Bryan, community health planner for the Lawrence and Douglas County Health Department, is working on making Lawrence's new policy and on making the University tobacco free.
"Our goal is to ban the use of cigarettes and electronic cigarettes in outdoor spaces where children typically gather, which are parks." Bryan said. "We also involve in supporting KU's goal to become tobacco free."
There are 471 tobacco-free campuses in the United States, according to the American Lung Association, but the University is not one of them. Some have called for making campus completely tobacco free, but smoking is only banned in campus buildings, student housing and Memorial Stadium, according to the smoking policy webpage.
The move to make the University a 100 percent tobacco-free campus began in March 2013 when Student Senate created a survey to gauge students' interest in a more restrictive smoking policy. In May 2013, the Department of Human Resources followed suit and created a similar survey.
In both surveys, the majority of respondents said they'd prefer a stricter campus tobacco policy and would be in favor of a smoke-free campus.
Ola Faucher, KU Human Resources director and chair of the Tobacco Free KU Steering Committee, said the survey results spurred support for a tobacco-free campus.
"At this time, there did seem to be interest in having a tobacco-free campus policy in place," Faucher said. "[The petition is] what started it."
In 2015, the University drafted a proposal to ban the use of tobacco and electronic cigarettes on campus. This policy would
apply to faculty, staff, students and visitors. The ban on tobacco would apply to the Lawrence and Edwards campuses. This includes the Kansas and Burge Unions, athletic facilities and research facilities.
The drafted policy lays out reasoning behind the need for a tobacco-free campus:
"KU is strongly committed to supporting individuals to become tobacco free to encourage a respectful, healthier, and more productive learning/living environment for all members of our campus community. Studies, many conducted by our KU colleagues, have proven time and again that tobacco is a leading cause of death from many diseases, both for those who use tobacco products and those who are exposed to them on a second or third-hand basis."
This Parks and Recreation draft could mean a quicker start to the University's projected policies as well, Faucher said. The draft is up for discussion at the Lawrence Parks and Recreation December meeting.
"Activity in the community is supportive of our efforts." Faucher said. "If Parks and Rec con-
tines on with this draft, then we can point to the community and say, 'See, even the community is making progress.' We can partner with them and do the same."
The proposed tobaccofree University policy would go into effect on July 1, 2016. However, Faucher said it may be more likely to happen sometime in 2017.
Things like funding, for signs, cultural change and the enforcement of the policies are obstacles associated with getting the University draft passed, Faucher said.
"Campus' transition to tobacco free really is a cultural change and really does take some time," Faucher said.
Both Bryan and Faucher said the want for the University to become a tobacco-free campus is shown in the 2013 survey and support from the community.
"You don't go to high school and see people using tobacco," Bryan said. "These ages — high school to college — are when people are most vulnerable to becoming tobacco users."
Watkins Health Center opens faculty and staff care clinic to boost revenue
Edited by Dani Malakoff
ALANA FLINN
@alana_flinn
Watkins Health Services opened its first-ever Faculty and Staff Immediate Care Clinic yesterday in hopes of improving revenue.
The clinic, converted from a sports medicine wing, is located on the second floor of Watkins and will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Chief of Staff Dr. Douglas Dechairo said the idea for the clinic was formed following a significant decrease in fee-for-service revenue, services that patients pay for out-of-pocket as opposed to insurance being billed.
The fee-for-service model aims to increase revenue by encouraging faculty patients to use other services at Watkins for their treatments, such as X-Rays, the pharmacy or lab testing.
"If we have more faculty and
staff members coming through and needing services such as prescriptions or labs, they are more likely to get them done here instead of going somewhere else because its one-stop-shop," Dechairo said. "We'll be able to take that revenue we make from the faculty and staff and give extra benefits to students. The whole purpose of creating a fee-for-service model here is to help benefit students."
When planning the clinic, Watkins administered a survey to faculty and staff. According to the results, faculty wanted urgent care services most, as opposed to services for their spouses or dependents.
"It's a benefit to faculty and staff members to be able to be at work, get sick, come down here and be seen and get treated on the same
While the new clinic is specifically for staff and faculty to be treated, Dechairo said it benefits the University as a whole.

University]. This is a win for everybody, but the main reason for why we did this is for students."

Mandated sexual assault education courses do not change rape culture
ANISSA FRITZ
@anissafritzz
I would like to see an interactive graphic about coffee sales during finals week.
Universities around the country are making several attempts at properly handling and eliminating sexual assault on college campuses. But some of the plans brought forth are doing the opposite.
Requiring students to take online courses or quizzes on sexual harassment prevention does not help stop rape culture. In fact, these courses twist the concept of sexual assault into a homework assignment, something that is a hassle and can be completed without even fully reading a sentence.

Not only have the majority of students taken quizzes on things like deceased philosophers longer than this quiz on sexual harassment prevention, but these students also don't even need to receive a perfect score on the quiz to complete the training.
Can I Name A Dog Pizza?
The course contains videos, resources, definitions and other pieces of information. However,the only thing that is required for each student to complete the training is a 10-question quiz.
I just want someone to love me like Bill Self loves Jamari Traylor. Is that too much to ask?
Rape culture is not something that can be condensed to 10 multiple-choice questions. If the problem were so simple, it would have been
These questions do not help individuals to better understand sexual assault. If anything, it's insulting.
The Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access mandated sexual harassment prevention course is located in the same column as the other quizzes and homework assignments for students' actual courses. This gives the impression that sexual harassment and awareness is just another thing that students need to complete to stay in good standing at the University, like getting good grades. This course does not ask the hard questions, it does not place an importance on in-depth knowledge of sexual assault, and it is not enough to make a change in the culture.
The questions are over-simplified, such as this one: "Dan and Mateo are at a party. Dan sees Zoe, a girl he would like to sleep with, so Mateo puts a rooftie, or date-rape drug, in her drink while Dan watches. Dan then takes Zoe home and is aware that she is not sure what is going on or who she is with. Dan has sex with her when he gets home, despite her clearly impaired state. Who in this situation has done something wrong?"

that students have to learn, but want to learn. Instead of asking questions that ultimately won't change someone's behavior or even matter to them, such as, "What is one serving of alcohol?" the course should present individuals with questions that make them truly understand the effects of sexual assault and the damage it can cause.
Education on sexual assault should not be made to be viewed as a hassle. It should not be something
For instance: Who makes up the largest population in the nation that suffers from PTSD? The answer? Rape survivors.
Sexual assault is not a chore. It is not a joke. It is not something that should be ignored. Therefore, sexual assault and harassment prevention training should not be formatted like a chore. It should not be treated like a joke. And it should not be made easily ignorable.

LGBTQ+ discrimination is still evident in the United States despite Supreme Court ruling
On June 26, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have the right to marry throughout the country. Seeing all of the rainbow flags and Facebook filters, many people might assume the battle for LGBTQ+ equality had been won. However, discrimination of LGBTQ+ people is a continuing issue.
When the former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius issued the anti-discrimination rules in 2007, 25,000 of the
41,000 state employees were instantly affected because they identified as LGBTQ+. However, current Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback rescinded anti-discrimination rules that protected LGBTQ+ state workers from discrimination on Feb. 10. This decision made it legal to fire state employees or deny someone a state job based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Because there are no federal laws restricting LGBTQ+ discrimination in the workplace, state governments can decide whether to implement protections for
LGBTQ+ workers. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, 28 states currently have no such protections for these people.
The prevalence of legal workplace discrimination toward LGBTQ+ employees means it is harder for LGBTQ+ people to find a job in certain areas if they are open about their sexual orientation or gender identity. People should not have to hide their identity in order to keep a job; they should be able to express themselves without fear of punishment.
Individuals who identi
fy within LGBTQ+ face higher levels of bullying and harassment. In a survey conducted by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network in 2014, 65 percent of LGBT middle and high school students said they "heard homophobic remarks" on a regular basis.
Thirty-three percent of these students reported being "pushed or shoved" for their sexual orientation and 23 percent for their gender identity.
toward LGBTQ+ students, schools cannot truly be safe environments.
Schools are often regarded as safe havens for young people; however, with such high levels of hostility
As a society, we must strive to improve the acceptance of LGBTQ+ people and eliminate laws that undermine their ability to live well. It is important that we continue to advocate for these people by speaking out against the social and systemic discrimination that still exists. The legalization of same-sex marriage is a step, but it is far from the finish line.

But in recent years, Thanksgiving Day is now an opportunity to go shopping to buy more things instead of focusing on being thankful for what you have:
Because of this materialistic outlook on life, people have to sacrifice their Thanksgiving to let others have shopping extravaganzas. The deals — which are really just repeats of ones in previous years — could be worth it to someone, but these deals shouldn't come at the price of a wholesome holiday.
We have evolved into a society which needs more things all the time, although many of us have everything we need to survive and be happy. Society has slipped into a materialistic cycle of constantly needing more items to feel adequately up to status — so much to the extent that we can no longer give ourselves one full day to be thankful for the items we do have.

Jessica Gomez is a senior from Baldwin City studying journalism and global studies.
Fast forward to present day: Black Friday starts on Thursday night, which promotes commercialism and materialistic views rather than gratefulness. It cuts into quality time with families and instead fills it with the myth that you do, in fact, need more stuff.
- Edited by Dani Malakoff
A few years ago, Black Friday typically started early on Friday morning after Thanksgiving. Shoppers would wake up at 4 a.m. to be at the mall right before the doors opened to grab Christmas gifts to put under the tree, which some families had put up the night before.
and injuries as people push one another to get to the doorbusters first. Incidents like these promote the idea that things are more valued than people.
Black Friday has been known to also bring out the worst in people who maybe didn't get the bargain they were hunting for. Every year, there are stories of people going to extremes to get the products that they "must have." There have even been reports of deaths
Not only that, but some workers must leave their families to serve the public's "needs" in exchange for getting paid more than their hourly wage. While this may seem like a employee's choice, many need the extra income to stay afloat for the upcoming Christmas season.

ART IN FOCUS
Above are designs on zines that Leigh Kaulbach creates.
Leigh Kaulbach expresses art with zines
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
For Leigh Kaulbach, a Stanford graduate from New Hampshire and current graduate student at the University, the product of her art is rendered through various mediums like painting, printmaking and zines.
Kaulbach's zines are most commonly a small circulation of self-published works that feature original or appropriated texts and images. After she has her subject matter for her zines on paper, she photocopies them and adds various colors. After selecting the color of paper, Kaulbach carefully folds and cuts the paper into a little booklet, resulting in a completed zine.
Although Kaulbach grew up around art doing paintings and taking classes, she attended Stanford and studied religion.
"I did my thesis at Stanford on iconography of the Virgin Mary and specifically contemporary interpretations and representations that were meant to subvert gender exclusion in the Catholic Church," Kaulbach said.
Kaulbach said she was interested in the aesthetics of religion and the effect of space, art, literature, music and architecture on the religious experience. She said that studying that topic got her interested in the social power of art. Then, she took some printmaking classes in her senior year. Kaulbach said she thinks printmaking is the most political artistic medium.
"The book and disseminating ideas and manifestos and propaganda is really tied to print, and also that can be done for social change." Kaulbach said
She said that introduced her to and grew her interest in making zines, or mini magazines filled with art, literature or what the "publisher" or artist wants to include.
"I think [zines are] a really amazing way to put your ideas out there, and putting your ideas out. It kind of forces you to have ideas in the first place," Kaulbach said. "So I was interested in transplanting the icon with kind of that internal struggle of growing up."
Zines are "a noncommercial often homemade or online publication usually devoted to specialized and often unconventional subject matter," according to the Merriam Webster dictionary.
Kaulbach wrote coming of age stories in these zines, which most of her work has included in the past six months. She translates the female experience and youth perceptions of maturity, fantasy and intimacy in her work. The female figure is a common theme in Kaubach's paintings, but she highlights the uninhibited female figure.
"I like to draw, like, really hairy women just because I think it's more interesting and more fun, and I think that the body can be both a site of dissent and pleasure at the same time," she said.
Kaulbach decided to do her graduate studies at the University because of the studio-heavy focus and opportunities to gain teaching experience.
"I wanted to go to a place [...] where I knew I would just make work and learn skills and get that sort of studio hands on technical guidance," she said. "I also want to be a teacher, and this program has two years of teaching experience, which I knew would be really good for me and also I just really love the faculty work — especially in printmaking."
Kaulbach's biggest inspiration with her current work is illustrating an alternative comic book.
"Comic books and illustrations are totally written off in fine art, and, by the majority of society, people think it's for kids and silly" Kaulbach said. "I think it's an incredible art form. Sometimes the drawing is amazing and people are doing really amazing inventive things."
She said she's been trying to follow the art form found in comics more and create art that is more accessible to her viewers or readers.
"I'm interested in art that anyone can look at and get something out of." Kaulbach said. "So I'm trying to be more engaged in color and shape and line and like energy."
She said her dad, who did drawings as a hobby, as well as her friends and music have had an influence in her art. They inspire her to be more adventurous in visual art, she said.
"My dad ha always been super supportive, and he's a really great artist. He's more of a hobbyist, but his work is amazing, and he's always encouraged me and pushed me to explore the limits," Kaulbach
The artist also said she hopes to do more collaborative work at the University.
said.
"I'm really just excited to be here because there are so many amazing artists and I really like that," she said. "I just want to go more illustrative. I feel I've gotten support here, which I didn't expect so that's been really fun."
Kaulbach's biggest piece of advice to hopeful artists or new artists is to have a good work ethic.
"You can be the most talented person but if you can't deliver finished work then it's never really going to add up," Kaulbach said, "I'm kind of a scatter-brained person and I think that's the biggest challenge for me and others is setting a schedule and sticking to it and churning things out, [and] taking risks."

THE ARTIST BANKS. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
LOWKEY LISTENS
Every month, Lowkey Listens showcases five tracks to listen to from five different artists. For December, read about Ashley Koett, Jaden Smith, Joey Purp, Tru and more.
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@ByHardy
Ashley Koett — "white and red"
By now, you probably know how I feel about strings being heavily featured in songs: I love it. I only assume that Koett — who has various acoustic covers on YouTube — is playing the strings, which is a fairly consistent, dreamy riff. This is the first thing she has released via her SoundCloud, and it's much higher quality than her original work on YouTube. On this track, we get the entire sound of her voice, which sounds hesitant, but also soft and soothing.
Jaden Smith — "Erewhon"
Best line: "Why does poison always taste so damn good? / Why wasn't I able to see that there was a red fire burning inside of me?"
Ravenna Golden — "The Weather"
Best line: "I wish that I could be a little bit stronger / i wish that I could have a little bit longer"
"The Weather" is my favorite track of Golden's album, "Gone Girl Wild", which is completely produced by the HELLA collective frontman Dylan Brady. This track doesn't have a strong hip-hop influence, but has a real vintage sound with Brady's guitar riffs, especially with the distortion on the hooks, but still maintains a heavy pop influence, which is Golden's staple. The song, as well as the album as a whole, is full of down-to-earth lyrics. You can buy the track on her Bandcamp account.
This song doesn't have a title yet since it was ripped from 1234 Radio (which was also referenced in last month's Lowkey Listens). Look, I'm biased because I'm a huge Jaden Smith fan — I think he's brilliant and doesn't get enough credit for his knowledge and creativity at only 17 years old, regardless of some of his silly tweets a few years ago. This track, which was produced by 1234's Daniel Dartiste, is super wavy, with constant ups and downs throughout. Smith really owns the mic in his second verse at about 1:38. Despite the couple of "1234" drops that come in, he completely destroys it.
Best line:"Hanging out with the weirdest people/ Me and you look like we belong / bae, we're amigos."
BANKS — "Better"
Typical Banks here, which is honestly a bit disappointing. I'd really like to see her develop and step outside of her comfort zone, yet she continues to use long-winded, drawn out vocals which, at the end of the day, are boring. If you're a Banks fan, like I am, you'll enjoy the track, but there comes a point where she needs to do more. That's where she's at.
Joey Purp - "Run It Up"
Purp has been dropping quite a bit of music this year, but this is the first time I've really enjoyed what he's dropped: a prequel to his upcoming album, "iiiiiDrops." The Chicago rapper comes together with producer Dimeji Faluyi on the electronic-heavy track. That said, Purp's voice takes command on this track, especially through the verses. The production or rapping isn't anything particularly special, but the two fit together perfectly, and the transition to the hook to the second verse is quite enticing.
Best line: "Okay, these labels try to sign me for an arm and a leg / They could have my whole body, I would still be ahead"
Tru - "Jack Frost"
I'm not a huge fan of Tru's voice, but he has nice bars and he fits incredibly well on this beat, produced by Sum Total. The instrumental bangs, with multiple ebbs, flows and gaps in the beat. It's extremely intricate and is enjoyable to listen to. Before the massive beat change around two minutes in, Tru's rhymes and Sum Total's instrumental go together like peanut butter and jelly. At 53 seconds, there's some shuffling around, and at the other end of the transition is the best line of the song.
Best line:"Oh my god, way I spit got 'em asking what I'm on / Oh my god, way I spit, they just call me Jack Frost"

Column: It's OK, you don't have to hate Bieber anymore
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@ByHardy
Justin Bieber performs at the American Music Awards at the Microsoft Theater on Sunday, Nov. 22, 2015, in Los Angeles.
I'm not really sure how I feel about Justin Bieber. A year ago — maybe even a few months ago — there were probably two whole people in the entire world I hated more than him. OK, so two isn't a really accurate number, but I'd imagine it was somewhere around two people.
But it was only a few months ago when it was cool to dislike Justin Bieber. His fanbade, mostly consisting of 12- to 15-year-old girls, unfortunately, grew up. He was losing his Disneylike charm with his multiple run-ins with the law. He was arrested once, according to TMZ, for driving under the influence of alcohol, marjuana and prescription drugs — the triple crown — another time for vandalism, and one last time for assault and dangerous driving, when he wrecked his ATV.
MATT SAYLES/AD
In 2014, the old Justin Bieber — you know, the one with the floppy hair that teenage girls loved — ended. And then "bad boy" Justin Bieber took over for less than a year, luckily for him. After that, he was at the brink of his career and had a decision to make:
continue down the path he was on or change.
Now he's at the end of a one-year rebringing cycle on the back of his new album, "Purpose." And in many ways, it kind of, sort of, really worked for me and for the rest of America.
I still don't love the music — pop doesn't really suit me, save for a song here and there. I regularly listen to "Where Are U Now," the crossover track with EDM superstars Skrillex and Diplo, "Sorry," the light, glassy-pop single, and the rather calming "Love Yourself."
Two of those three songs are two of the top three songs on iTunes right now, while the regular and deluxe versions of the album are also two and three, sitting just behind Adele in both categories.
But with Bieber, his maturation in his music is definitely real, and I acknowledge it. It's impressive in its own right, though it took an entire shift in production more than Bieber's talent evolving itself. It's the public relations work that has interested me in Bieber more than anything.
In 2015, only good things have come from the Justin Bieber corner. In early January, he was named the face
of Calvin Klein underwear, the same position that Mark Wahberg was in the middle of his rebrand in 1992. Then came his cameo on "The Ellen Show" in late January, when he brought her flowers and gifts, then he later released a soft-spoken video on Facebook.
"I was afraid of what people are thinking about me," Bieber
said. "I didn't want to come off arrogant or conceited, or basically how I've been acting the past year, year and a half. I'm not who I was pretending to be."
The video could not have been more obviously chopped up — a lot of public relations work — but it also kind of struck a chord with me, just as it probably did the other
five million people who saw it from his Facebook page, in addition to those who saw it elsewhere. Then he slowly released new music until "Purpose," which is topping charts.
So, yeah, I like Justin Bieber a little bit, OK?
With sleeves of tattoos and a reckless attitude, he isn't necessarily going to be able to
ever turn himself around like Wahlberg. And he's never going to be America's sweetheart like Justin Timberlake. But the ugly phase of his career is obviously behind him, and with every enjoyable song he releases my respect for him will go a tick up.
And that's kind of nice. I guess I only hate two people now.

Column: 'Creed' delivers as an underdog story
MATT HOFFMANN
@MattHoffmannUDK
We tend to love a good underdog story. Whether it's Georgia State upsetting Baylor during March Madness, or rebels chucking tea into the Boston Harbor in 1773, Americans are always cheering for the underdog. And perhaps no sports movie embodies the underdog theme as much as the newest Rocky installment, "Creed."
nity built in — presto, another classic is born.
At it's core, "Creed" is the simple story of a kid from the streets hitting the big time and winning over the hearts of those around him, while taking on the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world.
@MattHoffmannUDK Contains everything folks love about the Rocky franchise
"Creed" takes everything people around the world love about the underdog story and packs it into two hours and 15 minutes of theatrical genius. It contains many of the same elements as the original "Rocky," but with a new twist on character relationships and a little bit of moder-
- @David_LaVaque
There's something we've come to embrace about that underdog, the 100-1 longshot not expected to make it out of the first round.
ALEXANDRE LEONELLE
It's the idea that sports aren't a math test, and you can't put a value on heart and determination. We cheer for the down-and-out like Michael Jordan's "Flu Game" or a Cinderella-like Boise State trying to prove they belonged on the same stage as Oklahoma in 2007.

In a more physical sense, "Creed" nails down boxing as a sport riddled with trouble. The best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, "Pretty" Ricky Conlan (Tony Bellew) is going away for gun possession charges, and he needs one last fight before going to prison. "Creed" uses real world segments like ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption" with the real Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon, and uses HBO coverage of the fights to give the film an authentic feel, like you're watching a superfight 10 times better than Mayweather-Pacquiao.
The story of Adonis may not be real, but like the U.S. men's hockey team upsetting the Soviet Union in 1980, or Mario
Chalmers hitting a miracle shot at the buzzer in 2008, the film plays on those very same emotions, so much so that "Creeed" is worth mentioning in the same breath as the original "Rocky."
Maybe, just maybe, "Creed" can come out of nowhere like the story it tells and become a classic. It'll just have to knockout other title contending movies in the process. But given the story
and journey it takes the viewer on, that's not too much of a long shot at all.

KU volleyball's Big 12 postseason awards: Ray Bechard named Coach of the Year; Havili wins Setter of the Year
AMIE JUST
@Amie_Just
When a team like Kansas has a successful season, it's easy to celebrate. It's also easy to rake in the awards.
The Big 12 volleyball awards came out on Monday, and Kansas carried its weight. Of the five individual awards, Kansas came home with two: Coach of the Year and Setter of the Year.
the only Jayhawks honored with postseason awards. Three Jayhawks, including Havill, were tabbed to the All-Big 12 First Team.
Havili was a unanimous selection to the first team. Last season, Havili was slated to the All-Big 12 Second Team and the All-Big 12 First-Freshman Team.
Kelsie Payne and junior middle blocker Tayler Soucie also garnered All-Big 12 First Team honors. Payne was a unanimous selection. Last season, Payne was on the All-Big 12 All-Freshman Team. Soucie repeated her All-Big 12 First Team selection from last season.
Sophomore right side hitter
Sophomore outside hitter Madison Rigdon was tabbed to

the All-Big 12 Second Team. Kansas was second in the conference for most people earning postseason awards with six. Texas had seven.
Player of the week
Player of the Week Throughout the season, Kansas had several of its athletes recognized with Big 12 Player of the Week honors. Out of the
14 weeks in the regular season, Kansas had at least one player recognized in nine.
During the final week, junior libero Cassie Wait earned Defensive Player of the Week for her efforts against Kansas State and Texas Tech. Wait recorded 36 digs at Kansas State — a new program record for digs in a four-set match. Wait earned the
award twice on the season.
Counting Wait, Kansas had four players take home player of the week honors. Payne led the league with four Offensive Player of the Week nods. Havili earned the award twice. Rigdon earned the award once.

DOCKERY 7 KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS
DAILY DEBATE Who is the biggest threat to KU volleyball in the NCAA Tournament?
MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN
Senior outside hitter Tiana Dockery hits the ball over the net during a match against Kansas State. The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats in four sets
CLAUDIA CLOSE
@ClaudiaHealy
USC
Looking at the first round of the NCAA Women's Volleyball Tournament, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly which of the 64 teams will lose at a specific time. For the Jayhawks, who garnered the No.9 seed, their regular season record of 26-2 puts them in a good position to go far down the road. However, it is likely the road will be bump in the quarterfinals.
If the Jayhawks were to push past Furman and the winner of the Missouri vs. Missouri State match, they would most likely be put up against the University of Southern California Troians.
The path for USC isn't a cakewalk. The USC volleyball team, which is currently ranked at No.
1, must push past the University of North Carolina — who knocked the Trojans out in the second round last year — as well as the University of San Diego Toreros to make it into the quarterfinals.
With the talent of outgoing
Based upon this season's performance, it seems that USC could go all the way in this tournament. The Trojans (30-2) not only had a near perfect season but are 43-12 in NCAA tournament matches under current coach Mick Haley.
USC recently capped off its regular season with a 3-0 sweep of University of California-Berkley as they claimed the 2015 Pac-12 Women's Volleyball Championship. This was the Trojans' eighth overall conference championship and their fifth Pac-12 crown.
seniors Samantha Bricio, Alicia Ogoms and Eve Ettinger, the Trojans have a strong set of players lined up. Bricio has over 2,000 kills and was named the ESPN Women's Volleyball National Player of the Year and was also chosen as the Pac-12 Player of the Year earlier this week. Ogoms, along with freshman outside hitter Alyse Ford and sophomore outside hitter Brittany Abercrombie, have powered the Trojans all season long and will continue to do so in the postseason.
WESLEY DOTSON @WesleyDee23
Overall, the Trojans have won 6 national championships and are 73-29 in the NCAA tournament, making 24 consecutive appearances in NCAA tournaments. It would not be a surprise for them to knock the Jayhawks out and move on to the semi-finals.
Stanford
After a stellar season for the Kansas women's volleyball team that saw them finish 26-2, the Jayhawks will make an appearance in the NCAA Women's Volleyball Championship as the ninth seed — which equates to the top three seed in the perhaps more familiar men's and women's basketball tournament.
Lawrence will host the first two rounds of the tournament, which bodes well for Kansas. The Jayhawks went 14-1 in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center this season. Having the home court advantage should help them cruise past inferior opponents Furman and the winner of Missouri and Missouri State.
Kansas defeated Missouri State
(24-10) three sets to none Sept. 19. The Missouri Tigers (26-5) pose a bigger threat, as they are led by junior Carly Lan and her 535 points on the season. The Tigers arguably have a more balanced offensive attack than the Jayhawks, but a stronger defense and the advantage of home court should help the Jayhawks prevail in that potential matchup.
If they advance, the third round is where the Jayhawks could experience issues. They would travel to San Diego and most likely have to face No. 8 Stanford.
Stanford is led by its rising star and Pac-12 Freshman of the Year
The Cardinal (22-6) has found success this season in a considerably tough schedule. They played a Top-25 opponent 12 times over the course of the season and won eight of those matches.
Hayley Hodson, who averaged 3.85 kills per set. Hodson, who is 6-foot-3, can create a number of problems defensively for the Jayhawks with her physical frame. Additionally, the team is led by senior Brittany Howard who has been a key piece to the offensive attack for the Cardinal during her four seasons with the team.
The Cardinal has played in grind-out matches all season, so the task of possibly defeating the lajawhaks isn't out of their realm. If the lajawhks and the Cardinal eventually meet in the third round of the tournament, expect Hodson's size and Howard's experience to lead the charge in a victory.

Cheick Diallo shines in Kansas basketball debut
SCOTT CHASEN
@SChasenKU
The day Kansas big man Cheick Diallo had been waiting for was finally here. It had been 21 days since the Jayhawks played their first official game and far longer since the team was featured in the World University Games this summer in South Korea. For all of it, Diallo was sidelined because of an investigation into his eligibility.
Game after game he waited to play, until his day finally arrived, but even on that day.
he'd have to do a little more waiting.
"I was waiting for this game for so long."
CHEICK DIALLO freshman big man

It wasn't until the 12:57 mark in the first half that Kansas coach Bill Self finally put in his top rated freshman, who agonized over each of the
423 seconds that came off the clock before he made his debut.
"I was so scared and nervous at the same time," Diallo said. "[Last night] I was thinking about this game — what I was going to do ... I was waiting for this game for so long."
As Dialo walked to the scorer's table to check in, the crowd of 16.300 let out a collective roar, the likes of which had not been heard in Allen Fieldhouse since last season. Chants of "Cheick Dialo" broke out across the crowd.

Duke ... but this place is just really really special"
"The atmosphere was just tough to prepare for," Loyola (Md.) coach Orlando Smith said after the game. "Our guys have been to Syracuse before; we've been to West Virginia; we've been to
That atmosphere led to some nerves for Diallo. Playing in his first game at the collegiate level, Diallo dribbled off his foot a couple of times; he whiffed on a couple of blocks before finally connecting on one — the lone highlight of his five minutes and 28 seconds of playing time in the first half.
"At the beginning of the game I don't know what I was doing." Diallo said. "I turned the ball over so easily."
However, as the game went on, things slowed down for Diallo, who was able to show flashes of the talent that has excited many around the country.
"When he first got out there, he had jitters," senior forward Perry Ellis said. "But once he got in the flow of the game he was fine. I think that's the key thing" - just getting up and down [the court] a couple of times"
In the second half, Diallo quickly went to work, slamming the ball home off a behind-the-back pass from junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. With the proverbial seal on the basket broken, Diallo poured in 13 points over the last 15 minutes of the game, none off which were more empathic than his "hand behind the head" tomahawk slam with five minutes to go.
"Yeah I thought that was cute," Self said with a smile.
"I told him after, 'Cheick, v don't do that.'"
And the dunk didn't just catch Self off guard, it even surprised some of Diallo's teammates.
"I didn't see it coming; I didn't know what to expect," Selden added. "I just glad he made it because when a freshman gets on a fast break, you never know what can happen."
However, Diallo was a little more confident in his ability to finish the play, noting it wasn't the first time he had pulled off that specific dunk before.
"I used to do that at my high school," Diallo said. "At the Jordan Brand Classic, I did it too."
The freshman finished the game with 13 points, six rebounds and three blocks, as the Jayhawks went on to win by 33.
But there was one number that stood out more than the others: 16 — the number of minutes Diallo played in the game, and in a greater sense, the number of minutes he he has now played in his college basketball career.
And after playing in his first game, Diallo noted he had one thing left to do before the experience was complete.
"Tonight was the [night]. I had to prove to everybody I could play," Diallo raid. "Now, I'm so excited ... I can't wait to call my dad tomorrow."
Freshman forward Cheick Diallo gets on the ground to battle for the ball against Loyola.

(5-1) KANSAS JAYHAWKS VS. HARVARD CRIMSON (2-4)
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
AT A GLANCE
Kansas has looked phenomenal through the early part of the season. The Jayhawks are 5-1 and averaging 93.5 points per game. Harvard comes in with a record of 2-4 on the year and averaging 61.8 points per contest. Kansas should have no problem handling its Ivy League nonconference opponent Saturday.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Cheick Diallo freshman,center
Diallo did not disappoint in his highly-anticipated debut. In his first collegiate action, the freshman forward scored 13 points and grabbed six rebounds. He also blocked three shots in 16 minutes played. His debut featured a few thunderous dunks that displayed some of his potential. If Diallo can be a factor as a freshman, Kansas is going to be an imposing challenge for any team in the country.
QUESTION MARK
How will Self manage his front court?
With Diallo now in action, the Jayhawks have six posts that will fight for minutes this season. Self hasn't been known for spreading out his minutes between his big men. In 2008, Kansas' fourth best big man Cole Aldrich averaged around eight minutes a game. Junior Landen Lucas was out Tuesday, but the fifth big man in terms of minutes in the blowout was freshman Carlton Bragg Jr.
BY THE NUMBERS
3.8
Blocks per game for Kansas thus far. Look for that number to rise as Diallo recorded three blocks in his first game.
23. 5 The.Jayhawks' scoring margin this year through six games.
45.7
Field goal percentage from beyond the arc. Kansas is averaging 9.8 made three-pointers a game.
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF
Kansas can play much better in the first half than it did Tuesday. The Jayhawks struggled big with the Maui hangover. Now, with a few more days to adjust, Kansas should be able to handle an inferior team like Harvard for two halves on Saturday. If the Jayhawks can do that, they should be able to run away with this one.
KANSAS
PROJECTED STARTERS
TED MICHAELS
Frank Mason Ill,junior,guard Mason has sort of flown under the radar with the emergence of Selden early in the season. Still,the junior guard is averaging 12.5 points per game,good for fourth on the team. He does lead the team in assists,with 5.7 dimes per contest. Selden may be emerging as the scorer,but Mason is still the most important player on the team with his ability to score and distribute.
★★★★★
Devonte' Graham, sophomore, guard
Graham has been a key factor for Kansas since being inserted in the starting lineup this year. The sophomore is averaging 10.2 points and 3.5 assists in 29.8 minutes a game. He continues to help Kansas play up-tempo by pushing the ball out in transition and getting easy buckets. He also has just five turnovers so far on the year.
★★★★☆
MATTHEW SCHULTZ
Wayne Selden Jr., junior, guard
The emergence of Selden has made Kansas a dominant team. Since moving from two guard to the three guard, Selden has been more aggressive of finding ways to score the basketball. He's leading the team in 17.2 points per game, shooting 55 percent from the floor. He's even better beyond the arc, with a mark of 57 percent from downtown.
★★★★★
CORNELIER ROUGE
Perry Ellis, senior, power forward
Ellis is known for scoring a quiet 15 points a game. He's done just that through the early part of his senior campaign. Ellis is averaging 15.3 points per contest on 53 percent shooting from the floor. The senior is also doing a fair job on the glass with six rebounds a contest. The Jayhawks are going to need this level of efficiency from Ellis throughout the year.
★★★★
Jamari Traylor, senior, forward
After Tuesday's win against Loyola. coach Bill Self said Traylor was the best player in the game. The senior forward scored just two points and grabbed six rebounds in 14 minutes on the floor. However, Self noted his high energy and motor fueled a big run to begin the second half. Traylor may not stuff the stat sheets, but his play on the court is beneficial for the Jayhawks.
★★★☆☆
PROJECTED STARTERS
HARVARD
CANADIAN BASEBALL TEAM
Corey Johnson, freshman. guard
Johnson has no problem firing away from distance. He posted 17 three-point attempts in the team's second and third games and has shot at least five threes in all but one of the team's first six games. Because of his propensity to stay behind the arc, he almost never gets to the line, which seems to be a common thread for the Crimson.
★★★☆☆
(1)
Tommy McCarthy, freshman, guard
Through six games, McCarthy is averaging over 10 shots per contest, yet he's shooting worse than 27 percent from the floor. On the season, he's posting a 1:11 assist to turnover ratio and has twice as many fouls as steals and blocks combined, a mark that is certainly far from good.
★★☆☆★
Agunwa Okolie, senior, forward
In his second year of significant playing time and fourth year at the University overall-Okoie has done a bit of everything, averaging right around six points, four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal per game through six contests. He's on pace to shoot around 24 threes this year, which would be over 10 greater than the total he recordead in his first three years combined.
★★☆★★
ALEXANDRA HAYNES
Evan Cummins, senior, forward
Cummins has seen his role on the Crimson increase each year and has probably made his biggest leap this season. Through six games, he's averaging around six points and seven rebounds per game, shooting over 60 percent from the floor, although he struggles mightily at the line.
★★☆★★
---
Zena Edosomwan, junior, Center
Edosmwan is averaging a double-double on the season and would probably be rated even higher than three stars, but he's lacking in two key areas: rim protection and free-throw shooting. At 45.5 percent from the line through six games, the Jayhawks should absolutely foul him whenever he gets down low and force him to make shots at the line.
★★★☆☆
SCOTT CHASEN
@SChasenKU
AT A GLANCE
For a bunch of smart kids, Harvard seems to struggle with the game's easiest shot: a free throw. Half of the team's players who have recorded a free throw attempt are at or below 50 percent while half of the team seems complete averse to getting to the line. Additionally, playing without its best player in senior guard Siyani Chambers, who tore his ACL back at the end of August, the team doesn't quite have the depth or talent that it would've in what should be a fairly comfortable win for Kansas.
PLAYER TO WATCH
1
Corbin Miller junior, guard
Miller has only played in two seasons but is technically a junior as Harvard does not allow students to redshirt. Regardless, he's shooting close to 40 percent from three this season and even launched 12 threes in a game against UMass. He had two poor performances in two of the team's first three losses and needs to be much better if the team is going to upset Kansas.
QUESTION MARK
How can the Crimson keep up with the Jayhawks on offense?
Short answer: They can't. The team doesn't score all that much, and when they do, it's wildly inefficient scoring. In order for Harvard to win, it's going to have to make every possession count, which seems less than likely.
BY THE NUMBERS
5
Harvard players shooting 50 percent or worse from the line coming in to the team's contest against Northeastern.
5
Harvard players averaging between 26 and 28 minutes per game. The team has six players averaging at least 24 minutes per game and eight players averaging double-figures in minutes.

BABY JAY WILL CRY IF
Harvard rises to the occasion and knocks down a bunch of free throws and three-pointers while Kansas struggles again. McCarthy needs to be especially efficient if the Crimson are going to have a shot.

Harvard matchup is a chance for Kansas to improve and Diallo to gain valuable experience on the court
EVAN RIGGS
@EvanRiggsUDK
The first six games for the Jayhawks were different than those in years past.
Kansas coach Bill Self was forced to deal with the issue of freshman big man Cheick Diallo's eligibility, which caused him to miss preparation time with the team. It seemed as though the frustration of not having Diallo often overshadowed the importance of the games.
That continued in the last game, as the debut of Diallo was the top story. Against Loyola (Md.), Diallo had 13 points, six rebounds and three blocks.
And while Saturday's matchup against the Harvard Crimson is more normal, it will also provide Diallo with another opportunity to learn on the fly.
"[This] really worked out well from a timing standpoint," Self said. "If you can imagine Cheick playing against Vanderbilt in a one-possession game, being nervous and everything, it would have been very difficult for him. This is the perfect scenario for him to get out there and get his legs underneath him."
The Jayhawks have some health concerns with two veterian big men, but both are considered minor. Junior forward Landen Lucas missed Tuesday's game with a sprained toe, but he's expected to play on Saturday. Senior forward Perry Ellis has been dealing with a banged-up hip, but Self said the injury wasn't bothering Ellis, he said it's getting better and "it's no problem."
When the Jayhawks scheduled this game, it looked like this could be a tricky matchup against a team that has had some postseason success. Harvard has made the NCAA Tournament each of the last four years, and it won two games in those four trips. Last year, it gave North Carolina a close call in a 67-65 opening round loss.
But it seems unlikely that Harvard (2-4) will give Kansas (5-1) that same sort of fight.
Before the season began, the Crisimon lost senior Siyani Chambers to an ACL tear. Head coach Tommy Amaker told the student newspaper that Chambers had been the team's "most important player" over the last three years.
Although it's clear the Harvard is still trying to figure things out without Chambers, it has managed to play competitive games with Providence, Massachusetts and Boston College in his absence.
But it doesn't seem likely the Jayhawks will get a stiff test in Allen Fieldhouse, which should provide Diallo with another opportunity to figure things out before Big 12 play.
But perhaps even more important than what Dallo can do for the Jayhawks is what junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. is already doing.
Jayhawk fans had to love seeing Cheick Diallo last night. Finally free. More important to KU's title hopes is emergence of Wayne Selden.
- @franfraschilla
Through the Jayhawks' first six games, Selden is averaging 17.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, which are all career highs. He's shooting 20-of-35 from three so far this season — 57.1 percent — which is by far the best he's shot at Kansas. Last season, it was Jan. 10 before Selden had knocked down 20 three-pointers.
"He's just playing with so much confidence, just believing in himself and in the system, and it shows," Ellis said. "He's just out there having fun and playing basketball, and good things are happening for him."
Although the Jayhawks have shot a respectable 54 percent from inside the arc this season, finishing around the rim has been one of their biggest problems. They struggled in the second half against Michigan State and the first half against Vanderbilt and Loyola (Md.), and missed layups were a common theme all three times.

"It's a mental thing." Ellis said. "Maybe we're just not focusing on it enough. Maybe we're taking it for granted. You really have to jump into each of those shots to knock those down. But I think it's something we'll get good at."
The Jayhawks will have a chance to correct those issues around the basket against the Crimson, which doesn't have anybody in their regular rotation taller than 6-foot-9.
But similar to Tuesday, the final score isn't the biggest thing to keep an eye on. The Jayhawks shouldn't have much of a problem with the Crimson at home.

Senior forward Perry Ellis, junior guard Frank Mason III and junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. were named on Wednesday to the watchlist for the Oscar Robertson Trophy, presented by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association and the Naimshim Trophy. Both awards are National Player of the Year awards.
National Freshman Player or the Year, the Wayman Tisdale Trophy, which Kansas big man Cheick Diallo was named to. The other list is the Women's National Player of the Year.
The USBWA also announced its watchlists for two other basketball awards in addition to the Oscar Robertson Trophy, which will be awarded in April. The announcement included the watch list for the
None of Kansas' three finalists for the Robertson Trophy have been named to the watchlist before.
Three of the 33 total finalists for the Oscar Robertson Trophy were Kansas players. Kentucky has freshmen Jamal Muray and Skal Labissiere and sophomore Tyler Ulis on the list. Kentucky also has three freshmen up for the Freshman of the Year award.
The watchlist for the Naismith Trophy, which is presented by the Atlanta Tipoff
Club, included 50 players, but it will be cut down in February to 30. Ellis was on the watchlist in 2014, and Selden made it as a freshman in 2013; neither made the final cuts.
In six games so far this season, Selden leads the Jayhawks with 17.2 points per game, shooting 54.8 percent from the field. Behind sophomore guard Devonte' Graham, who is averaging 29.8 minutes per game, no players have been on the court more for Kansas than Selden.
In his final season with Kansas, Ellis is averaging 15.3 points and six boards through the first six games. The 15.3 points is 1.5 more than he averaged last season
and the most of his four-year career. Ellis is also on the Los Angeles Athletic Club's John R. Wooden Award watchlist. Ellis currently stands at 32nd in Kansas career scoring with 1,249 points, and 21st in career rebounds with 648 boards.
Last year, Mason, the Jayhawks' point guard from Petersburg, Va., had 10 points and two assists in 21 straight games from November to February. This year, he's averaging 12.5 points per game, slightly below last year's total of 12.6, but his assists total has jumped from 3.9 last year to 5.7 this year, while his rebounds are up from 3.9 to 5.2.

Sophomore guard Lauren Aldridge fights through two Creighton defenders. Kansas won 67-54.
As the third quarter raced to a close at Allen Fieldhouse, so did Lauren Aldridge to the three-point line.
"I just like the way my teammate-responded — that was the most fun part," Aldridge said. "It's fun whenever we have momentum plays like that."
MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN
Aldridge scored a career-high 18 points in the game, but that's nothing new. Aldridge set a career high with 17 points in the season opener against Texas Southern and tied it in a win over Northern Illinois on Nov. 27 in a 66-58 win.
Stopping several feet away from the line, Aldridge sank a buzzer beater to end the quarter, which put the Kansas Jayhawks up 56-41 against the Creighton Blue Jays. The Jayhawks won the game, 67-54, on Wednesday night to improve to 4-2.
"Once it was up, I kind of knew it was going to go in," freshman
Two of Kopatich's three-pointers came in the second quarter, when the Jayhawks needed them. Kansas found itself down 21-10 early in the second quarter. Then Kopatich and Aldridge contributed to a 17-6 run that brought the score level at 27. After Aldridge tied the score with two scores, Kopatich brought the Jayhawks up 30-27.
With a collegiate career that is six games old, Kopatich's 15 points on the night won't stand as a career high for long. However, it was enough to power the Jayhawks offense past Creighton. Kopatich was 3-of-3 from beyond the line in the game.
guard Kylee Koopatch said of Aldridge's shot. "It was just an extra boost of energy. We were already up, we were already making plays, and that shot just said it all."
“It’s awesome to have another shooter beside you. Anytime you put another shooter beside you it takes a little bit of the load off of yourself,” said Aldridge, who has led the team in scoring
in two of its last three games.
"They've got to respect Kylee on the three point line a little bit and hug her, so it opens driving lanes for the rest of our team."
Although Kansas only needed to come back from an 11-point deficit, the response showed an ability to make quick adjustments. In the team's last game, a 73-64 loss to SMU in Dallas, Kansas was within three points
"We've shown that we have the ability to come back because I think we have some fight to us." Kansas coach Brandon Schneider said. "Credit to our players for adjusting on the fly there after the first quarter."
of a 19-point comeback, but fell short.
After overcoming the setback, the Jayhawks were able to run away from the Blue laws, scoring
Schneider said his team's ability to shoot the ball well was a product of moving the ball around. Specifically, Schneider said freshman guard Jayde Christopher was a key player in Kansas' success. Christopher

registered four assists in the game — her third straight game with three or more assists.
"I like [Aldridge] in a shooting role with the amount of minutes she plays it takes the pressure off of her," Schneider said. "When you can surround [Christopher] or any other guard with guys that can make shots the offense [looks] much better."

Why do students say they feel less safe at night?
OUR HEALTH

@KansanNews
This is the third in a series from The University Daily Kansan exploring issues impacting student wellness.
At 10 p.m. three nights a week, Mary Kate Danaher, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., gets off work at Watson library. After she packs up her backpack, she heads outside to walk home. Even near the library and other areas that are well lit, she said she feels uneasy.
"I usually call someone on my way home," said Danaher, who lives a few blocks from campus. "I don't know if there's necessarily any reason to be worried when leaving the library at night, but I think it's better to be safe than sorry."
Most reported crimes at the University, including violent crimes, occur during daylight hours. But like Danaher, more students report feeling unsafe on campus at night than during the day.
In a recent survey of 426 University students, 24 percent reported feeling either "not safe at all" or "somewhat unsafe" on campus at night. By comparison, fewer than one percent said they felt unsafe during the daytime. The survey was part of the 2015 University of Kansas National College Health Assessment.

Two factors that could be impacting student views is the
jump in overall crime on campus and publicity surrounding sexual assault cases. In 2014, 832 crimes were reported on campus, compared with 661 in 2013. The spike in numbers is due largely to the increase of drug-related offenses and thefts, according to police reports. As for assaults, there was actually a slight decrease, from 33 in 2013 to 30 in 2014.
A review of police reports from Oct. 16 to Nov. 15, showed that of 27 crimes reported to Public Safety, five were reported as occurring at night. Of those five, three were thefts, one was a breaking and entering, and one was an assault at Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall in which a person grabbed another person's arm and neck and wouldn't let the person leave.
The daytime crimes reported during the same period included 16 thefts and six for breaking and entering. The rest included somebody making a threatening statement with a knife at Self Hall, a fight between roommates at Self Hall, and a fight in front of Strong Hall. There was also one sexual offense in which a person touched another person without consent.
"I think with the numbers the way that they speak, campus is relatively safe," said Captain James Anguiano of the KU Public Safety Office.
That sentiment was shared by Richie Hernandez, chair of the Student Safety Board on campus.

I do think that [students] should feel safe," Hernandez said. "I think they should always remain constant aware of their surroundings and what's going on, but I know that KU's campus tries to come off as a safe space because I know we have KU PSO constantly patrolling."
Beyond campus, more students report feeling less safe in the Lawrence community at night than they do on campus. Among the survey respondents, 36 percent said they feel "not safe at all" or "somewhat unsafe" at night in the community.
"The increase of not feeling safe around Lawrence is probably due to the increased amount of attention put toward sexual assault," said Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman.
In the past year, the University has been in the news for its handling of sexual assault cases. In 2014 alone, the University received more than 120 sexual assault and sexual harassment complaints.
Members of the KU orientation staff haven't seen an extraordinary interest in crime from incoming students, said
Jessica Mattes, orientation program coordinator.
"Crime isn't something we go into deep discussions about because like the numbers show, there isn't much violent crime at KU." Mattes said.
Mattes said that most of the questions at orientation regarding safety are from parents who want to know how their sons or daughters can get around town without a car at night or contact someone for help if they don't have a cellphone.

The Campus Master Plan includes "extensive analysis and reports on spaces and classroom utilization, historic patterns and resources, land use, program accommodation, sustainability, coordination with the local community and other areas" according to the website. The plan focuses on five areas of campus: a research partnership zone and research science
zone in West Campus, the 19th Street mixed-use zone near Stouffer Place Apartments, the Irving Hill zone near the Burge Union and South Slope zone, where the current School of Business is located.
According to the Campus Master Plan, the research zones will promote partnerships, start-ups and private enterprise along with economic development. The plan also said Stouffer Green, a "park-like open space",will be created in the Irving Hill zone. Another park for public events and activities will be added in the South Slope zone.
"By 2018, we plan to transform a long-overlooked section of the KU campus to reach a fuller potential. Through KU's Campus Master Plan even more of the Lawrence campus will become a hub of living, learning, discovery and professional growth for students, faculty and staff," Jeffery Vitter, provost and executive chair chancellor, said in his email to students, faculty and staff.

Harvard match and Diallo to
EVAN RIGGS
@EvanRiggsUDK
The first six games for the layhawks were different than those in years past.
And while Saturday's matchup against the Harvard Crimson is more normal, it will also provide Diallo with another opportunity to learn on the fly.
“[This] really worked out well from a timing standpoint,” Sell said. “If you can imagine Checkie playing against Vanderbilt in a one-possession game, being nervous and everything, it would have been very difficult for him. This is the perfect scenario for him to get out there and get his legs underneath him.”
Kansas coach Bill Self was forced to deal with the issue of freshman big man Cheick Diallo's eligibility, which caused him to miss preparation time with the team. It seemed as though the frustration of not having Diallo often overshadowed the importance of the games.
That continued in the last game, as the debut of Diallo was the top story. Against Loyola (Md.) Diallo had 13 points, six rebounds and three blocks.
The Jayhawks have some health concerns with two veterian big men, but both are considered minor. Junior forward Landen Lucas missed Tuesday's game with a sprained toe, but he's expected to play on Saturday. Senior forward Perry Ellis has been dealing with a banged-up hip, but Self said the injury wasn't bothering Ellis, he said it's getting better and "it's no problem."
When the Jayhau led this game, it this could be a trick against a team that I postseason success made the NCAA each of the last four it won two games in trips. Last year, it Carolina a close call opening round loss.
But it seems unlikl vard (2-4) will give t that same sort of figi Before the season Crimson lost ser Chambers to an AC coach Tommy Ama student newspaper bers had been the t important player" o three years.

Amanda Painter completed her bachelor's from the University in 2007 and completed her master's in 2010. Painter, now assistant director for campus visits, said campus has changed a lot since her freshman year.
In 2014, the University implemented the Campus Master Plan, a 10-year plan for the future Lawrence and Edwards campuses. This plan will cost the University $1.7 billion, Paul Graves, deputy director for Design and Construction Management, said in an email.
This money comes from an Educational Building Fund, housing funds, parking fees, private gifts, Johnson County Triangle and a public-private partnership, according to the Campus Master Plan.
Projects for the plan will not affect student fees, Modig, architect and director of Design and Constructive Management, said in a public forum Nov. 16.
Progress on this plan is becoming evident to students with new changes on Daisy Hill and Jayhawk Boulevard. The plan proposes 61 changes, from parking garage options to research buildings to expanding the Lied Center.
"I've noticed a lot of new buildings," Painter said. "I feel like they've built new ones more than they've renovated old ones, which is okay, but even the engineering complex has new buildings and the residence halls."
The Campus Master Plan includes "extensive analysis and reports on spaces and classroom utilization; historic patterns and resources, land use, program accommodation, sustainability, coordination with the local community and other areas" according to the website.
The plan focuses on five areas of campus:a research partnership zone and research science
zone in West Campus, the 19th Street mixed-use zone near Stouffer Place Apartments, the Irving Hill zone near the Burge Union and South Slope zone, where the current School of Business is located.
According to the Campus Master Plan, the research zones will promote partnerships, start-ups and private enterprise along with economic development. The plan also said Stouffer Green, a "park-like open space," will be created in the Irving Hill zone. Another park for public events and activities will be added in the South Slope zone.
The mixed-use zone represents "partial redevelopment of the Stouffer Place site, with mixed-use residential, limited commercial and other student support space," according to the plan.
"By 2018, we plan to transform a long-overlooked section of the KU campus to reach a fuller potential. Through KU's Campus Master Plan even more of the Lawrence campus will become a hub of living, learning, discovery and professional growth for students, faculty and staff," Jeffery Vitter, provost and executive chair chancellor, said in his email to students, faculty and staff.

KU student political groups aim for more collaboration
KELLY CORDINGLEY
@KellyCordingley
Two campus political groups — the University Young Democrats and KU College Republicans — are focusing their attention on registering students to vote, recruiting more members and conducting events — some of which they're even doing together.
Eric Pahls, chairman of the KU College Republicans, said his group, as well as the Young Democrats, are trying to cater to a more diverse group of students who may not identify with a particular party.
Previously, conversations in the Republicans' group centered on taxes or fiscal policy. Pahls said. That's something he said he foresees changing because fiscal policy can be daunting and boring. Instead, the group will bring in more speakers and host more events, like debate party parties.
"We've had people come to us who aren't really with any party, but we want to expose them to it," he said. "I consider myself more conservative, but we have a lot of moderates."
This semester, the Young Democrats and KU College Republicans co-hosted a watch party for the second Republican debate. Next semester, they'll co-host a Democratic watch party. Pahls said that next semester he hopes to work more closely with the Young Democrats.
"Wed like to do some philanthropic event, whether it's a contest on who can donate the most food to a food pantry, or something like that, trying to team up for things we can agree on,
things that actually improve the community," he said. "Wed like to do a fun, sibling-rival-type event. We're College Republicans and Young Democrats; we're not running candidates."
Brittany Bodenheimer, a member of the Young Democrats and a former president, said the group is focused on registering students to vote and increasing civic engagement.
During the 2012 presidential election, the national average of voter turnout for 18- to 29-year-olds was 45 percent. In Kansas, 38 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds turned out, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Additionally, nearly 80 percent of states had a higher voter turnout in the 2012 election than Kansas.
Bodenheimer said the Young Democrats plan to work with the College Republicans to recruit students and register them to vote. She said that going forward, the two groups will work together on other projects, though those haven't been decided.
"We've really been working with the College Republicans because we want students to know what's going on," Bodenheimer said. "This year, we're going to focus on the Kansas legislative tracker for tracking legislation when it's in session because it moves so fast there and it can be confusing to students."
Bodenheimer said the Young Democrats are also focused on providing students with information about candidates in both the national and state elections instead of supporting particular candidates because the race still has a long way to go. She said the
group will work within the community to call residents and go door-to-door talking to people about the Democratic Party.
"Last year, we took students to lobby at the [Kansas] Legislature, and during this election season we'll focus on canvassing and phone banking" she said. "We're pretty similar to the Republicans — we're focused on making sure members know about all candidates."
"It's a nice thing that's not really partisan-driven," Bodenheimer said. "Stuff you see on a national and state level is not how politics should be."
Pahls said the college political groups don't back a candidate until there's a nominee. Pahls said that since this election season has been eventful and sometimes controversial, he believes more millennials have taken interest than in previous primary seasons.
"I feel like this election is getting a lot more play, so more people are paying attention, but I don't know if more people are getting involved," he said. "With this election being so crazy, the benefit is that people are paying attention and people are able to draw opinions and see right in front of them what's happening."
KANSAN.COM | MONDAY, DEC. 7, 2015
He said he hopes this translates to a higher voter turnout of millennials.
"I'm hopeful that's the case. You've got to think that if you analyze the headlines every election gets, this one has to break every record," he said. "You've got to think, in my totally uneducated opinion on this, that this culture of being totally saturated by the race, will get people to vote."

“[Campus is] relatively safe, especially with the new lighting we have on Jayhawk Boulevard as well as the presence of emergency phones,” Anguiano said. “You can really see some things in the evening and night time.”
There are more than 70 safety phones scattered throughout campus. Even though they were used 199 times last year, Anguiano said he still feels they are underutilized.
"I know they are infrequently used," Anguiano said. "Most of the calls we get are prank calls, or somebody has pressed the button and
nobody is there.
"It doesn't have to be an emergency to use them. If your phone was stolen, or you see something suspicious, you can request an officer."
Anguiano said the number of cases that go unreported — whether it's sexual assault, robbery, battery, or something minor — are the ones that worry him the most.
He also said he'd like to see students take better advantage of free transportation from SafeBus and SafeRide.
"I think sometimes we as a society get impatient because we have to wait," Anguiano said. "Also there's this misnomer that you have to be downtown at a bar to get a ride. That's not the case. Any student that has a KU ID can use it to get back home."
Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk endorses Precious Porras for director of OMA

@Lara Korte
After presentations from three finalists, the search committee for the Office of Multicultural Affairs director will reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate before submitting its suggestion to Vice Provost of Diversity and Equity Nate Thomas.
She added: "I think KU is at a very pivotal place, especially in regards to race relations. We have to keep momentum going, we have to continue to have these hard conversations and push for results."
Precious Porras attends a meeting on Aug. 14.
CAROLINE FISS/KANSAN
Hiring a new OMA director is one of the 15 demands Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk presented at the town hall meeting on Nov. 11. Although there were three candidates, Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk endorsed one: Precious Porras, who is currently the interim director of the OMA.
Katherine Rainey, a senior and member of Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk, said there is "no choice" when it comes to hiring a new director.
Rainey also said she believes the other candidates do not have a proper understanding of the University's multicultural climate.
"If you're an outsider coming in, you have to understand the climate that you're walking into," Rainey said.
Rainey said she feels that Poras, who has been at the University for 10 years, has the best understanding of the campus and the needs of its students.
"She's amazing. Her care and general concern for the students as well as KU as a whole is something that we truly need," Rainey said. "Having someone who knows the University climate is essential to the success of the OMA ... It's clear that we need someone who's already working in our system who understands where we are, and doesn't have to play catch up."
Porras presented on Friday morning as the final candidate. She spoke about how the office can address issues surround inequity on campus, particularly retention rates. During the presentation, Porras also voiced her support of Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk.
Over the course of this week, three finalists gave presentations on the subject of "Strategic Leadership at KU's Office of Multicultural Affairs."
"Everybody individually on the committee will look at the results," Crawford said. "Then we're going to come together on Wednesday afternoon collectively to talk about what we see."
Jerry Crawford, associate journalism professor and chair of the search committee, said the committee still has to review the candidates before the committee makes a final decision.
Rainey said Porras demon-
"We need someone who's able to connect with every single space on campus, and she's proven that time and time again even as assistant director. Her work at Colors of KU. the way that she
transforms spaces, the way that she educates students [and] the way that she educates adults and faculty and other staff is something that will really transform KU," Rainey said. "It's going to take us to the next level."
strates the leadership that multicultural students have been "dying to have."

What you should know: KU's concealed carry conversation
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHarford
The Weapons on Campus Committee, a committee within the University Senate that is made up of faculty, staff and students, was formed at the beginning of the semester to address Kansas laws that will allow for concealed carry weapons on campus beginning July 1,2017.
Michael Williams, University Senate president and a member of the committee, said the goal of the session is to help get everyone on the same page and receive feedback from the community.
The University is currently working with the Kansas Board of Regents, other state schools and the University community to address the issue, Williams said.
The session will be live streamed, and students, staff and faculty can email questions if they are logged in to their KU accounts. Anyone can also follow along with the discussion on Twitter using the hashtag #kugunsinfo.
Here what you need to know ahead of the forum on Tuesday:
Summary of the laws and policies:
In 2012, the Kansas Legislature passed the Personal and Family Protection Act, which allowed for the concealed carry of weapons in public buildings unless the building has temporary exemptions or adequate security measures, like metal detectors and security officers.
A 2015 amendment to the law allows anyone over 21 to carry a concealed weapon without a license. Forty-two percent of undergraduates and almost 100 percent of graduate students are 21 or older.
In an effort to receive feedback and get members of the University community on the same page, the weapons on campus committee will host an information session on Tuesday from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in Budig 120 to discuss concealed carry on campus.
The University has a temporary exemption from the law, but the exemption expires on July 1, 2017.
After the exemption expires, all persons over 21 will legally be allowed to carry concealed weapons on campus, unless the buildings have security measures to keep guns from entering the building.
The Kansas Board of Regents has drafted amendments to its weapons policy, which allows for concealed carry on campus in accordance with the law, said Breeze Richardson, director of communication for the Regents. The drafted amendments also suggest that universities offer gun storage on campus.
Open carry of weapons is still illegal on campus and in public buildings.
Who's doing what?
"So the idea that you would see a gun on campus is a myth," Richardson said. "The idea that someone would slap a gun down in the middle of discussion and use it as a tool of intimidation would immediately be a violation of University policy."
Student Senate and University Senate have issued gun surveys to gauge the University community's thoughts on concealed carry on campus. The Board of Regents has drafted amendments to the weapons policy.
The University has performed building assessments on campus. It found it would cost roughly $20 million to secure all 237 buildings on campus, according to a report the University gave to the Board of Regents. However, the University is considering security measures for sports arenas, like Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse, Williams said.
The Weapons on Campus Committee is holding an open forum on Tuesday to discuss and inform the University community.
"A lot of what we are doing this fall is to raise awareness and get the feedback of the University. ... We want to make sure that all of the rational voices are heard. We're not going to debate the second amendment. Our primary charge is to find a way to maintain a safe and secure learning environment."

During finals, many students abuse the prescription drug Adderall to enhance their focus while studying so they can get better grades on their tests.
If you don't want to seriously mess up your health, refrain from taking non- prescription stimulants to aid studying
ABBY PETRULIS
@apetrulis
Plenty of students need prescribed medications like Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta or Vyvanse to focus on daily activities,and there's nothing wrong with that. However, just because these drugs have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration doesn't mean they're guaranteed to be safe for your body, and using them without a doctor's recommendation can have serious legal and health implications.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency uses a system to classify drugs with higher potential for abuse called scheduling. Once a drug is added to a schedule, it becomes a controlled substance. Schedule I drugs are considered to have no medical use and are completely outlawed in the U.S. - like
heroin.
Schedule II drugs are drugs that have been found to have medical purpose but carry a high potential for abuse. This list includes pretty much all of the drugs commonly used to treat ADD and ADHD. There are also schedules III, IV and V drugs with decreasing amounts of abuse potential. Most drugs are unscheduled, like blood pressure medication, birth control or antibiotics.
What a lot of people don't think about is that if you are in possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, you are committing a felony. In fact, even if you have a legitimate prescription, it is illegal to sell it to someone else.
These drugs aren't like blood pressure pills or birth control — they're more regulated because they are so easy to abuse. Adder-
all's chemical structure is different from the structure of meth by only one methyl group. (That's CH3, which those who have taken organic chemistry know is an incredibly small change.)
Methamphetamine is arguably one of the biggest illicit drug problems in the country. Again, just because it's approved by the FDA doesn't mean it can't hurt you. However, it doesn't mean that people who need to take these stimulants to function are going to become meth addicts -it just means it should only be used for its medical purpose, not to provide extra energy or focus during finals week.
Stimulants such as these work mostly by increasing the amount of neurotransmitters floating around in your brain, but that doesn't mean it only affects your brain when you pop a pill.
They can also raise your blood pressure, so if you already have high blood pressure and then take a stimulant, it can be seriously harmful.
These medications interact with some antidepressants as well as other drugs, which is why it's important only to take it if your doctor has prescribed it and your pharmacist has talked to you about it. Every time a pharmacy fills a prescription, a pharmacist has to run a drug interaction to make sure it's safe for you. If you take these drugs without knowing how they could affect other medications you take or any health conditions you might have, the implications could be serious.
Additionally, many students don't think about what the strength of the pills they get are, or whether the pills are extended release or
immediate release. If you're used to getting immediate release and you accidentally end up with extended release, it could have serious affects because of the different dosing regimen you can't take the extended release as frequently.
However you choose to prepare for finals week, know that there are other options to pulling an all-nighter. Caffeine is a good option, but make sure you aren't drinking so much coffee that you reverse the good parts of caffeine. A lot of students turn to prescription drug abuse when they are panicked and it seems like the only option. Take five deep breaths, pour yourself some coffee, and focus on what you do know, not what you don't. Let's leave the prescription stimulant use to those who really need it.

To succeed on finals, students should set goals manage their time and avoid costly all-nighters
VANESSA ASMUSSEN
@VanessaAsmussen
The final weeks of the semester are upon us. As always, the time seems to have passed much more quickly than imagined, and students can be left feeling a bit stressed as they wrap up their classes with papers, projects and final exams.
Although the end is in sight, much is left to do before students head home for winter break. Setting goals and practicing good time
Many college students find it too easy to procrastinate, believing that they will have plenty of time to accomplish their goals the weekend before finals week. However, students should begin studying early and set goals to accomplish so they are not left with everything to do at the last minute.
f
management in these last two weeks will help students avoid stress and produce their best work.
For many, setting goals sounds a lot easier than
actually following through with them. Even so, knowing that you will be doing yourself a favor in the long run can give you motivation to be productive. Students should take study breaks and reward themselves when a task is completed to keep their momentum going.
If possible, students should try to avoid pulling an all-nighter to get everything done. While staying in the library all night to get last-minute studying
in might seem like the best way to do well on a test, an all-nighter can actually make it more difficult to concentrate and recall information. Getting plenty of sleep the night before can help students feel refreshed, energized and ready to succeed.
With the surrounding temptations of friends. Netflix and Stop Day celebrations, it can be hard to effectively prioritize schoolwork. However, if students haven't already
started prepping for finals week, it would be in their best interest to start now in order to make it easier on themselves in the long run. Starting early, getting things done in a timely manner and getting plenty of sleep can help students better retain knowledge, feel confident and finish the semester strong.
Vanessa is a junior from Neodesha studying journalism and sociology.

ARTIN FOCUS
NATALIE CRAIG
@naticraig
Displayed on the fourth floor of Chalmers Hall, a hanging form of wire and textiles dwindles, reflecting its shadow on the stark white background.
This is the work of Marissa Shell, a University graduate student from New York City.
"With the piece downstairs, I want to make it big to make the viewer feel as if they are walking into this natural environment which makes you question the importance that human kind gives to itself," Shell said.
Nature is a source of inspiration for Shell. In a majority of her work, she focuses on different structures and systems in nature.
"That piece was based on the peristalsis, which is how your digestive track moves food through your body," she said. "I was looking for a way to use this totemic structure and connect it to a natural system in nature."
Shell is specializing in textiles and fibers in her graduate program. Her current piece comprises several different tootem structures, in which she utilizes lighting and shadow for the display.
One of Marissa Shell's art pieces is displaved in Chalmers Hall.
"I've never really worked with lighting and shadow before, so I am still figuring out the quirks, but every time I install it I learn as little bit as I go on," she said. "I want them to multiply; I look a lot at cells and organisms and bacteria multiply very quickly, and I want my work to be like that."
The artist uses all black plastic mesh materials to create the structures in her current piece
"My previous work was very colorful and people loved the colors," Shell said. "I think that I am just trying to eliminate color because I am trying to move from 2-D to 3-D. I think by eliminating color it just eliminates variables, which make it a little bit easier for me to kind of transition from making two dimensional work to three dimensional work."
Shell added: "I did not want color to become a crutch; I hate when people tell me that they love the colors. I would rather somebody tell me that
this is not working. A lot of people want people to praise them for their work, but I feel like you do not get anything out of that, you do not grow from that."
Shell has always been interested in art, but her true passion for art started when she was 16. Before coming to the University, Shell received her Bachelor of Fine Art degree from Purchase College in New York.
"When you are in school you have all this space but when you are in New York, your space gets smaller and you have to go smaller. You cannot make the same work in a small scale that you can in a big scale because it is just very different. That is how I ended up doing those," she said, pointing to some objects on a table.
For her senior project at Purchase, she created large-scale paintings based on abstract expressionism. After graduating and moving to a studio, she realized that her artwork needed to change.
While at the Institute, "I got really into weaving so I took a lot of weird weaving classes that were not in my curriculum," Shell said. "I decided I didn't want to do another undergrad, so I decided to finish the semester and then I decided I am not going to do the degree — I am just going to weave."
After attending Purchase, the artist attended the Fashion Institute of Technology.
The artist used her weavings to apply to graduate school. Her interests in weaving were inspired not only by the art of weaving itself, but also by materials used by musicians.
"I want to come back to the weaving. It may just end up being a side thing but I am trying to collect strings from musicians to do a weaving project," she said. "I am not sure where it is going to go yet, but I need to collect strings first. It would be a way to incorporate music into my work as well as other artists and other musicians."
Shell works hard and often creates well into the night. Her dedication for her art carried through from New York to Kansas, said Alex Atta, a former classmate at the Institute.
"She was always working."
Ana Macedo
Shell explains her process of creating her artwork.
ZOE LARSON/KANSAN
Atta said. "She would be weaving until, like, three in the morning."
Along with her artwork, Shell has a spunky personality that attracts people to her. "Marissa and I always have a good time together, working with her is effortless," Atta said. "She moves to the beat of her own drum, which is why I like her." Shell said that she found the University on a whim. When she had been out of the city previously, she was persistent because she did not have any distractions.
"I really wanted to go somewhere different than New York, I really wanted to be in a completely different environment," she said. "This is a nice break for me. I can breathe and go out for a run and not see too many people."
"She works best when she is able to concentrate on her work and be inspired by other creative artists or people who truly appreciate art," said Steven Shim, an art collector who knows Shell.
Mike Piergrossi is a friend and a fellow artist of Shell's from New York. He said he would come visit her while she worked at his local bar in Greenwich Village. He noticed that she was very productive and passionate about her work.
"She turned her time at work into time in the studio without slacking off on the job," he said. "Martissa's work prompts us to consider our own relationship to the environment, and to where and how we live, what we consume/discard, where we surf."
Piergrossi said Shell's work is narrated through her choice of materials.
"Her work is inspired by her surroundings and her relationship to nature and the environment," Piergrossi said. "Marissa constructs objects and installations that employ collected and found objects, as well materials that tell personal stories."
in the future. Shell said she intends to expand on her existing piece. She is inspired by artists Ruth Asawa and El Anatsui to make bigger pieces.
"I just like to work large, I want to do more installation," Shell said. "That piece is so tiny to me, I want to fill the room with like a hundred of those. But it takes time."

Review: 'Reckless' tells a darker Christmas story

@Sambiscuit
Audible gasps, bellowing laughter that drowned out a few lines, and shocked silence were part of Saturday night's performance of "Reckless," written by Craig Lucas and directed by Jim Dick.
The story opens with Rachel, the main character, cooing over her perfect Christmas tree and raving about how much she loves Christmas. Suddenly, her husband, Tom, bursts out in tears and exclaims he took a contract out on her life.
Rachel is flung into a

"I kept trying to guess what was going to happen next, and some of my guesses were right, but a lot of them were wrong," Rovrahn said. "The whole performance was quite
clever how everything lead to something else and everything happened for a reason, which was one of the themes."
enjoyable and fascinating.
Rovrahn was accompanied by a friend, Jim Stukey, who was one of O'Connor's directors when she was at Burlington High School.
"I thought it was very unexpected," Stukey said. "I came into this thinking it was just going to be a drama or something and it was funny. I feel great now. It made me laugh, and I love to laugh."
While there were plenty of jokes, and Rachel kept the energy light and fun, there were plenty of moments when the audience was stunned
The play spun and twisted through many different directions that explaining the plot to someone who hadn't sat through it would be a challenge. However, Stukey said he found the writing
with how surreal life was portrayed.
"It really isn't your typical Christmas story," Ravrahn said. "But I think that's the point. Christmas and the holidays are supposed to be this magical time when you're with family and the ones who love you, but at the same time it is often full of heartbreak and trauma because you're with family and the ones who love you. I related very much."
"I loved how you didn't know what was going to happen, but you also saw how everything came back full circle, and despite going through some really awful stuff, Rachel came into her own at the end." Stukey said. "Which makes me even happier seeing Jacquelyn playing her after watching her grow in high school. It is a great role for her."
Reckless, the last play of the semester, will be performed on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, all at 7:30 p.m at the William Inge Memorial Theatre in Murphy Hall.

CAROLINE FISS/KANEAN
Perry Ellis shoots the ball against his defender, Harvard's Evan Cummings.
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
Since returning from a championship performance in Maui, Kansas hasn't looked the same, despite picking up a pair of wins.
The excitement of freshman forward Cheick Diallo's debut masked a poor first-half performance against Loyola in the first game back from Maui. Then, on Saturday against Harvard, Kansas struggled to bury an inferior opponent, even in the confines of Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks still came away with a win, but it was far closer than they wanted, beating the Crimson 75-69 move to 6-1.
"We had some individuals that didn't have great games, but as a team I don't think we played awful," said Kansas coach Bill Self. "I thought our defense was pretty good. We have to do some things to tighten up. We certainly can play a lot better."
One of those players is senior forward Perry Ellis. Ellis has struggled in his two games back from Maui. Both he and Self insist it has nothing to do with his hip, but Saturday showcased something is wrong.
"He hasn't been the same
since we got back from Maui," Self said. "I'm not speaking negatively about his game — I love his game. He just hasn't been himself. I don't know if he's got the flu bug or something going on."
On Saturday, Ellis logged 27 minutes and grabbed four rebounds. His four rebounds was the second lowest mark of the season. As a result, Kansas was outrebounded by eight.
In terms of scoring, Ellis only totaled 12 points against Harvard on 5-of-11 shooting from the floor. After scoring at least 16 points in three of the first four games, Ellis has failed to score 16 points in three consecutive games. That is largely because of his inability to be aggressive on the offensive end.
"He's got to become more aggressive, more of quick-twitch athlete," Self said. "He's not right now. We know he can get that back. That is something we will bank on him doing."
Another player looking to rebound from the game against Harvard is junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. Selden has been scorching hot on the offensive end for the early part of the season, leading the team in scoring with 16 points per game.
However, against Harvard, Selden battled with foul trouble and was unable to stay on the floor. As a result, he logged 22 minutes and scored nine points. It was the first time all year he did not have a double-digit scoring effort.
"It affected us a lot. We need him out there," said junior guard Frank Mason III. "He's a third-year guy, he knows what coach (Self) wants, and he's been through these types of situations. We really missed him out there."
If both Ellis and Selden can get back on track and lead the team, Kansas should have no problem handling Holy Cross on Wednesday. Holy Cross boasts a 3-5 record on the year, with a 1-3 mark on the road.
The Crusaders are averaging 63.3 points per game thus far. They are led by junior forward Malachi Alexander, who averages 11.1 points per contest on 50 percent shooting. He also is constantly on the floor, logging the most minutes per game with 34.6.
Holy Cross topped Harvard earlier this season by a score of 50-49 on Nov. 29 at home. Still, if veterans like Selden and Ellis can get back to form, Kansas should have no problem in this nonconference matchup.
Kansas falls to St. John's in nonconference test
- Edited by Derek Skillett
DYLAN SHERWOOD @dmantheman2011
On an afternoon where former Kansas women's basketball player Lynette Woodard was honored with the 2015 Naismith Outstanding Contributor to Women's Basketball Award, Kansas was looking for its fifth win of the season, with three wins already coming at home in Allen Fieldhouse.
The St. John's Red Storm came to Lawrence on'a five-game winning streak and upended the Jayhawks on Woodard's return to Lawrence, 86-71. St. John's forced Kansas into 11 first-half turnovers, which led to 16 points in the first half alone. The Jayhawks limited their turnovers to seven in the second half.
Overall, Kansas coach Brandon Schneider said he knew St. John's was going to be a test for his young team.
“[St. John's] was really athletic,” Schneider said. “That is a Big 12-caliber opponent [Kansas] just played. That's the type of athleticism we will face for 18 games when we get into league play. All the little things we have to do a much better job of.”
Kansas suffered its first loss at home against a quality opponent that received votes in the latest AP Top 25 poll.
"We made quite a few poor decisions with the basketball, and it kind of exposed us offensively," said sophomore guard Lauren Aldridge.
Aldridge compared Sunday's game to the second game of the season against Memphis. She said she felt like that game was better than Sunday's game against St. John's.
Kansas hasn't been tested too much throughout this season. The layhawks' first two games of the season against Texas
Southern and Memphis were somewhat challenging,but the team largely controlled them, winning by seven and nine points, respectively.
Kansas ultimately failed its first true road test against Arizona on Nov. 23. The Jayhawks could not get anything going in the second half and fell by 15 points.
Kansas played one of its best games of the season against Northern Illinois on Nov. 27, winning 66-58 and leading throughout the game, but the next day SMU challenged the Jayhawks early, and they responded. Kansas almost overcoming a 19-point deficit, but lost to SMU.
Because some of the games were less challenging, it was crucial for the Jayhawks to play a strong team at home, and that's exactly what they did.
And now they have to learn. Playing at home the next four
And now they have to learn.
games, the Jayhawks will look to improve going into Big 12 Conference play starting on Dec. 30 at Oklahoma. And one area they'll have to improve will be toughness, Schneider said.
"I think there were a lot of instances where [St john's] looked like the tougher team," Schneider said. "We had some instances where we could categorize ourselves as being soft today."
Kansas (4-3) will have a short turnaround to play its third of a six-game homestand on Thursday as University of Missouri-Kansas City will come to Allen Fieldhouse for a 7 p.m. game.

Sweet 16 preview: Kansas vs. Loyola Marymount

The team celebrates after a big point in the third set.
The last time Kansas volleyball played in Southern California was also the last and only other time the Jayhawks advanced to the Sweet 16. However, the stint in Los Angeles in 2013 was short lived, as the then-No. 14 Jayhawks were swept by the No. 3 Washington Huskies (25-18, 25-23, 26-24).
Five current Jayhawks witnessed that match. Middle blocker Janae Hall and setter Maggie Anderson were redshirt freshmen. Libero Cassie Wait and middle blocker Taylor Soucie were also freshmen. And outside hitter Tiana Dockery was a sophomore.
Soucie recorded a team-high three blocks in the match. Wait had four digs. Dockery posted one kill and three digs. Anderson and Hall saw the floor.
They know what it's like to lose in the Sweet 16, and they said they don't want to feel that way again.
When Wait was asked what she wanted for Christmas, she didn't hesitate to respond: "A national championship."
The road to Omaha currently goes through Loyola Marymount.
Loyola who?
ZOE LARSON/KANSAN
Loyola Marymount (24-8) is one of three unranked "Cinderellas" left in the NCAA Tournament. Less than two hours after Kansas defeated Missouri in a thriller, Loyola Marymount swept No. 8 Stanford to advance to the Sweet 16.
Stanford (23-7) hadn't been swept since September, when the unranked North Carolina Tar Heels pulled off the upset in Chapel Hill.
Loyola Marymount is a private university in west Lost Angeles with under 10,000 students.
Its eight losses on the season have come from Virginia, Northern Arizona, Long Beach State, Pepperdine, BYU, Pacific, San Diego and Santa Clara.
The Jayhawks and the Lions have faced one similar opponent this season: the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Kansas swept Gonzaga, while Loyola Marymount edged out their conference foe twice, both times in five sets.

THE RALLY How Kansas volleyball survived 5 set points and advanced to the Sweet 16 AMIE JUST @Amie_Just
Missouri's junior outside hitter Carly Kan threw down her 11th kill of the match to put Tigers up 24-20. All Missouri needed was one more point to send the match into its fourth set.
But it didn't happen. Instead, Kansas defeated Missouri in three sets to advance to the Sweet 16 after missing it in 2014.
MISSOURI SET POINT NO.
Missouri's Alexa Armendariz serves short, libero Cassie Wait picks up the dig, passing the ball to sophomore setter Ainise Havili. Junior middle blocker Tayler Soucie attacks from the right, sending the ball into the Missouri's back row, but Missouri can't get there.

MISSOURI SET POINT NO. 2
Setter and serving specialist Maggie Anderson subs in for Soucie to serve for Kansas. Missouri's back row picks it up, setting it up for Kan on the left side. Junior middle blocker Janae Hall goes up for the block, sending the ball back over to the Missouri side. Hall's block sends the ball back to the Missouri back row, where the Tigers, again, set the ball up for Kan. The second time isn't as successful and Kan's attack goes into the net.
KANSAS TRAILS 24-22.
MISSOURI CALLS A TIMEOUT
Anderson serves again, to the same right corner of Missouri's. The Tigers set it up for junior middle blocker Julia Fowler. Fowler's attack falls into the net.

Havili passes to Wait, who sets the ball up for Payne. Payne sends the attack just over the net. Missouri mishandles the ball, but recovers, giving Kansas a free ball. Ridgon has the first touch, passing the ball to Havili. Havili back sets to Payne on the right side. Payne drives home a kill to the back row. Missouri gets there, but it's a little too late. The ball had already touched the floor.
KANSAS WINS THE THIRD SET TO DEFEAT MISSOURI 27-25
LOOKING BACK
Missouri knew back when the third set was 24-20 that it wasn't going to be easy. Coach Wayne Kreklow wasn't convinced, even at 24-20, his team had the set win.
"No," Kreklow said
when asked if his team thought they had won the set at 24-20. "I don't think anybody ever thinks that. I felt like we were in a good position to do that, but you still have to make plays. It was going to take a really good swing. [Kansas] was blocking very well, playing great defense in the back row. It wasn't like I was waiting for somebody to hit the ball into the net."
The Jayhawks wanted it, but they weren't sure
"We called a time out [at 13-18] and I said, 'you know, guys, I don't know if we're going to win this third set, but we need to start playing like we need to play,'" Kan-
if they were going to get there at that moment.
sas coach Ray Bechard said. "Forget the scoreboard, because if it goes to a fourth, we need to be playing well." I don't know if that took a little pressure off of them, just do what we do and next thing you know, you get
a deuce game. I knew it was over then when we got to 24 all."
Kansas will face Loyola Marymount in the San Diego regional.

For Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk, a tense but rewarding month of advocacy
LARA KORTE
@Lara_Korte
Capping off almost a month of diversity forums, demonstrations and conversations, another call to action was directed at administration on Wednesday by the group Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk.
The group began by entering classes in Blake and Fraser Halls and the dean of Social Welfare's office, calling for allyship before moving on to demonstrate on the steps of Wescoe Hall. The demonstrations ended in a two-hour sit-in and discussion in the chancellor's office.
Wednesday's events wrapped up a tense semester and what Kynnedi Grant, a member of Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk, called "a roller-coaster of emotions."
The group first emerged at the Nov.11 town hall meeting, where members presented 15 demands and called for an administrative response to systemic discrimination against minorities on campus.
During the same meeting, Grant gave an account of her own experience of an alleged hate crime. Since then, Grant and other members have been meeting with faculty members, attending department forums and talking with students in an effort to continue advocating their demands.
Grant said she feels the group has experienced more growth in the past three months than most people would experience in five years.
"It's challenged us as people first — our humanity and why we do what we do. It's challenged our friendships. It's challenged our relationships, our professionalism," she said. "It's challenged us in so many ways that are just on a scale that people never really experience sometimes in a lifetime."
Grant said that although the work has been stressful and exhausting, it's important.
"People see us as leaders and as people that they trust to use their voices," Grant said. "They trust us to voice on behalf of them because they either can't physically do it themselves — they're not able — or they vocally can't articulate what they're experiencing. And it's just the most humbling thing to have people that trust you're saying and trust that you're going to be representative and inclusive all the time."
Although Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk has focused largely over the past month on combating anti-black racism,
the group has made a point to consider intersectionality by being an advocate for all marginalized groups on campus. During the demonstrations on Wednesday, Grant, along with Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk members Jyleesa Hampton, Caleb Stephens and Katherine Rainey spoke about issues facing LGBTQ+ students and students with disabilities, mental health care on campus, and creating a safe space for students of color.
Stephens said it's important on issues like these to be supportive of each other.
"Oftentimes when you experience racism, sexism or any of the '-isms', you get worn down, and you feel like you're all alone so you just try to survive, you go into survival mode," Stephens said. "Oftentimes, speaking to the different students of
color and the different intersectionalities, we're saying. 'We're fighting for you, too, and you can fight for yourself, and we'll be here, and we'll stand with you.'
For Rainey, one of the main things she has taken away from the semester is that change is possible.
"I'm in awe, and I'm definitely humbled by the amount of students that have come out in support of us, and again, acknowledge us as leaders and as people they can trust to carry forward," Rainey said. "Change is possible, and it's a very real expectation to have of this University and of students."
The group has been publicly supported by several departments and organizations on campus, including the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity, the Black

Cheap drinks, bigger risks: Bar specials could fuel binge drinking habits, health experts say

Binge Drinking Behaviors and Consequences Results from 2015 KU College Health Assessment Survey
40% had five or more drinks at one sitting in the last two weeks
This is the fourth and final story in a series from The University Daily Kansan exploring issues impacting student wellness.
29% forgot where they were/what they did while drinking in the last 12 months
21% had unprotected sex while drinking in the last 12 months
13% physically injured self while drinking in the last 12 months
1% drove after having 5 or more drinks of alcohol in the last 30 days
Heather Pieczynski, a junior from Chicago, doesn't normally go out to the bars on a Saturday afternoon, but she can't resist the Beat the Clock special at the Jayhawk Café or cheap gameday specials at Bullwinkle's.
Source: Results from 426 student respondents to the 2015 University of Kansas National College Health Assessment survey, provided by Watkins Health Center.
"If the Hawk is doing Beat the Clock on Satdays, it's hard to pass up." Pieczynski said. "I typically wouldn't go out to the Hawk on a Saturday afternoon, but Beat the Clock is just a really good deal."
For Pieczynski and other students, the heavily advertised bar promotions give them opportunities to have relatively inexpensive fun. But health officials and police say there is a more significant expense at stake: student safety.
According to the 2015 University of Kansas National College Health Survey of 426 students, about 40 percent of students reported binge drinking at least once within the last two weeks. About 3 percent said they binge drank at least four times in the last two weeks, and about 2 percent said they had done so at least six times.
The promotions can lead students to binge drink, which in turn can lead to an array of problems such as students injuring themselves or others, getting in trouble with police, having unprotected sex or neglecting schoolwork.
Binge drinking is defined in the survey as having five or more drinks in one sitting.
Jenny McKee, director of the Health Education Resource Office at Watkins Health Center, said she believes bars that promote specific specials are "setting people up for failure."
"You're specifically targeting vulnerable groups, and the bars know they're doing it," McKee said.
The impact of college bar promotions as a point of concern isn't new with this generation of college students. A 1997 study by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest found the steady drumbeat of promotions can lead students to think it's the norm to gulp down several drinks in one sitting.
"Bar owners in many college communities supply that ingredient, advertising special deals that encourage students to drink heavily every night of the week. Those ads contribute to students' perception that binge drinking is the norm and encourage individual students to increase their consumption to keep up with their peers," the study said.
Sgt. Trent McKinley, a spokesman for the Lawrence
Not only do these promotions draw larger crowds than a normal night, but the people in attendance are often more intoxicated, McKinley said. The higher intoxication coupled with the larger crowds can fuel fights and other calls for help, like alcohol poisoning, he said.
The close proximity to campus of bars has an impact on a college's drinking culture, according to the Center for Science study. Students like the easy accessibility, particularly the ability to avoid drinking and driving. Some university towns, such as Berkeley, Calif., have developed zoning ordinances to control how close liquor-selling establishments are to campus.
Police Department, said police see an increase in the number of arrests and other serious issues when bars run popular promotions, such as Dollar Night at the Jayhawk Café, commonly known as the Hawk.
Four bars that are close to KU's campus — Bullwinkles, the Hawk, the Cave and the Wagon Wheel — are popular
largely because of their locations and their inexpensive drinks, which are made even cheaper when the specials are tacked on.
Efforts to interview the managers of the four bars were unsuccessful. A manager for the Cave declined, and requests to the other three went unanswered after multiple attempts to reach them.
"It almost feels like a bait- and switch with promotions, like the breast cancer awareness week specials," McKee said. "They make you feel like you're doing something good by going to their bar and getting drunk."
For the typical budget-conscious college student, drink specials make going out and drinking more enticing. That's particularly the case when the promotions mention a good cause.
Jen Salach, a bartender at the Hawk, said gameday specials are a big draw for students.
"When KU was playing (the men's basketball game against Michigan State) they would do dollar beers before tip off to try to get people in early," Salach
said. "That definitely entices a lot of people to go out to the bars."
The Hawk is well known for its Dollar Night, which takes place every Wednesday. Students can come in and expect to have nearly everything on the menu drop down to a single dollar.
"For example, offering a special where nearly any drink is $1 on a Wednesday is probably not going to encourage responsible behavior," McKee said.
McKee has some suggestions for how bar owners can limit their impact on the drinking culture. Among those is fewer drink specials.
McKee suggests that bars train staff to interact with patrons more effectively, noticing when they're intoxicated or exhibiting unusual behavior.
JC Hurt, a junior from Overland Park, said he has been drawn to the local bars indirectly by the nightly specials.
"For myself, drink specials usually don't totally draw me to a place, but that tends to be where most of the crowd goes, so, you know, I feel like I'd have to go as well." Hurt said.
"Bartenders typically receive training on alcohol poisoning, so that they are not over-serving a patron," McKee said. "While that is a good start, also understanding tactics on how to be an active bystander so that they can step up when they see any behavior that may be problematic would be helpful to all patrons."
She also suggested that bars continue to offer free non-alcoholic drinks to those who serve as a designated drivers for the night and have food available to help mitigate the effects of drinking.

Rainey also said the group has received support from the Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council.
"To see that there are people who understand that in the context of this, it is way bigger than them, and they need to reach out and they need to ask what they can do, really makes a difference and that lets us know that our message is getting through, and it lets us know that there are systemic changes that can be made," Rainey said.

Senate bills address diversity and transparency
ALANA FLINN +
CASSIDY RITTER
@KansanNews
During its last meeting of the semester, Student Senate passed bills addressing diversity, transparency and funding.
Bills included redacting a professor's name from the resolution supporting Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk's 15 demands, giving increased voice to minority and international students, and mandating all official Senate meeting be recorded were among the topics discussed over the course of the evening.
Impeachment proceedings, which would have continued for Moon tonight, had been pushed to January.
The meeting began with senators motioning to move bills with student organizations present to the top of the agenda, and the meeting continued that way throughout the evening.
The first bill of the night that passed was $5,360 for a Rock Chalk Swing honorarium, which will be held Feb. 12-14 at the Kansas Union.
Senate unanimously passed a resolution in support of encouraging KU to become the home of a Division I wheelchair basketball team.
Some debate began over a bill written by Nanyi Deng, an international undergraduate senator, and Tyler Childress, finance committee chair, that would direct Tomas Green, development director, to issue an international student climate survey on mental health.
Deng said she wanted Green to create the 40-question survey and distribute it to all students, but Student Body Vice President Zach George stated Green does not have the unilateral authority to access the listserv of students or distribute more than one survey in a year.
Correction: An article that ran on Monday on Page 1 with the headline: "Why do students say they feel less safe at night?" incorrectly reported information from Jessica Mattes, an orientation program coordinator, as a quote. The information was paraphrased by the reporter.
The agenda was moved around once again, when Senate approved two members for the Court of Appeals and one for the Elections Commission was moved to the top. All three were approved to the respective seats.
An amendment was added to the bill that says Student Senate will not have to send out the survey itself, but that it would advocate one to be sent to the student body. The bill passed.
Full Senate moved back to seeing bills with a request to create an International Student Association Senator seat, authored by Deng. The bill passed 59-1-3, and the seat will be open in spring 2016.
Deng said she is happy about the creation of another international senator seat. This seat would make international voices heard, she said.
Chief of Staff Adam Moon wrote a bill — which passed — extending Student Executive Committee voting rights to the director of diversity and inclusion, Omar Rana. Moon said the graduate affairs director has voting rights in the same committee, so he felt it was time to give the director of diversity and inclusion the same rights.
Moon followed up with another bill that would extend election voting time in the spring from 6 a.m. on Wednesday to 4 p.m. on Thursday. Tymon Wall, a junior/senior College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said this bill was originally killed because senators were concerned that candidates would rally votes at the bars overnight.
"We can address bar votes with stricter legislation," Wall said. "That can be fixed in another bill."
Moon added that the polls would only be closed for four hours overnight with the current system, so there's no point in closing them.
Rana and School of Education Senator Michaella Schick advocated a bill that awards 20 points to senators who attend or volunteer as a tour guide, actor or actress at the Tunnel of Oppression, an event hosted by the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
The bill passed 62-0-1
A resolution sponsored by 30 senators passed that encourages all University policies, admission applications, restrooms and student housing to accommodate transgender students. Policies and admission applications would use gender-neutral language, and student housing would be encouraged to make transgender student housing as well as transgender bathrooms on each floor of every new campus building.
LSS
Senate tabled a bill that would create a new position, the Director of Internal Affairs. The director would "take over the responsibilities of Executive Secretary that were consolidated into the Communications Director Position," according to the bill. Moon said during a negative speech that there is not enough funding for the new position. The bill was tabled indefinitely, but Childress, Moon and Senate Treasurer Madeline Sniezek will now look into whether Senate has the money for the position.
Some bills made edits to the Student Senate Rules and Regulations, including one with 20 sponsors that now mandates a transcript and recording of events.
KU
One of the authors, Daisy Tackett, a freshman/sophomore College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said the passage of this bill was essential to Senate accountability.
Psychological Clinic
"If we're not recording during a meeting, how do we know if people are lying or misrepresenting themselves?" Tackett said during her speech. "I don't
want Senate to devolve to that environment, and I think it's very important to have this."
Chance Maginness, a freshman/sophomore College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said during a negative speech that recording every meeting is unfeasible because one person cannot be held accountable for ensuring every single Senate meeting is accurately recorded.
"This is legislating to absolutely extreme circumstances, like the one that happened in the staff meeting." Maginness said. "We can't allow ourselves to legislate to extreme circumstances because it will create undue consequences."
"I'm going to throw this out there, Chance is just wrong," Angela Murphy, graduate affairs director, said during Maginness's speech.
George later reminded senators to be civil to one another, following a comment from Harrison Baker, a junior/senior College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator.
Baker followed by deferring to Danica Hoose, a former senator, who gave a room-silencing speech encouraging senators to act with more poise and respect toward each other.
"There's no need for these House of Cards-type games. There's no need for the political tension and reaction — we're all just humans trying to live in this University together coexisting." Hoose said. "So just quit being mean to each other, pass this, because if you can't have a voice recording of something you said out there in the public because

you're worried, then why are you saying it?
Confidential
"Transparency is a good thing." Hoose said.
The original bill requiring all official Senate meetings to be recorded passed with 65 percent of the vote.
The last bill passed would reduct a professor's name from a resolution previously passed by Senate. The resolution gave full Senate support to all of Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk's 15 demands.
Otherwise you'll just get coal.

Gray-Little talks climate and mental health care
LARA KORTE @Lara_Korte
Over the past semester, the University has faced issues surrounding race, diversity, mental health and state funding. The Kansan sat down with Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little on Monday morning to take a look back at the year so far and to hear where administration is going.
At the Nov. 11 town hall meeting, many students and faculty voiced concerns about lack of diversity and inclusion at the University. Gray-Little said she has seen a continuation of these conversations in different areas on campus.
Campus climate
In response to the concerns expressed at the town hall meeting, the administration created the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Board. Gray-Little said this board is going to look at how to improve the experience of minorities on campus.
"I wanted a way to have a different group looking at what are we doing, how well are we doing it, and are we achieving the effects that we want," Gray-Little said. "That's really the reason for creating that group."
"Certainly there have been more conversations about diversity and individuals and groups expressing their views both in the forum and in notes they have written to me," Gray-Little said. "So I would say there's a change — more conversation and more awareness of this topic and the topics that people are dealing with."
As far as the effects of the advisory group, Gray-Little said she hopes it can give all students on campus a sense that "this is a place that is welcoming, inclusive and that values individual and group differences."
One of the 15 demands presented by the group Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk at the town hall meeting included mandatory, intense inclusion and belonging training for all levels of students, staff, faculty and administration. Although Gray-Little said that is something that is possible for the University, she wants the conversation to continue outside of training programs because it would be a one-time experience rather than a continued conversation. She said she believes conversations like those facilitated at several recent department forums are helpful when solving problems around diversity and inclusion.
"I think most of the things we do in mandatory training are usually time-limited and set," Gray-Little said. "I think it's an ongoing conversation — where you don't get to a point and say, 'Well I've done the training: Everything is fine now.' Where you have continuing conversation. I think over a period of time that will be very helpful."
"I want to be clear that I am not in favor of allowing concealed carry on university campuses," Gray-Little said in the release. "But again, unless legislators change state law
Gray-Little said the issues the administration are looking at include the other items listed by the student group. Gray-Little said that how the University prioritizes the demands depends on feasibility, staff and resources.
"As the [advisory board] is working, it may be there will be some areas that say we have this in place. Others will say we don't have it in place, but we can have it done in this amount of time," Gray-Little said.
Gray-Little said she does not agree with the law but would find ways to comply with it.
- which is unlikely given the wide margin by which it was passed - we must be ready to comply with it."
Gray-Little released a statement on Kansas' policy allowing gun owners to carry concealed weapons on campus. The policy is scheduled to go into effect July 1, 2017.
Guns on campus
The state legislature passed a bill allowing concealed carry in public buildings in 2013. Universities were granted a four-year exemption, which will expire in July 2017.
C. W. H. L. K. M. B. S. T. N. O. P. Q. R
Gray-Little said the University expects the Kansas Board of Regents to present a modified firearms policy by next month.
"To prepare for the change, the Kansas Board of Regents has been working with universities to amend the Regents' weapons policy, which applies to all Regents institutions but allows each one to determine some of the specifics of how to implement the policy on their campuses," Gray-Little said.
CAROINE FISS/KANSAN
The University Senate's information session on the firearms policy will be held in Budig 120 from 2:30-4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The session will be live streamed for those not able to attend in person, according to the University Governance website.
"It's kind of expected that anytime after four or five years, someone would be in the process of looking for that," Gray-Little said.
Gray-Little said she does not feel the administrative turnover comes as a surprise, and that she feels the number of resignations are a normal amount. In the case of a provost, she said, it's not unusual.
Recently, the University has seen several administrators leave, including the dean of Arts and Sciences, dean of Libraries, dean of the School of Social Welfare and, more recently, Provost Jeffrey Vitter, who is leaving the University in January.
As for other resignations, Gray-Little said it's simply because the University has talented administrators.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little meets with a reporter to discuss the latest issues affecting the University.
Turnovers in administration
"That's always the challenge if you get people who are doing really good and do a really great job," Gray-Little said. "They're going to get all types of opportunity."
State budget
"We fortunately also had some contributions, especially toward scholarships and facilities from gifts, and so fundraising becomes more and more important," Gray-Little said.
As state funding for higher education continues to dwindle in the state of Kansas, there has been concern and speculation about the future of publicly funded institutions like the University of Kansas.
Gray-Little said the University is currently facing a dilemma of how to continue to provide services to students while keeping tuition affordable. Gray-Little said that with any budget cut, the administration has to look critically at what services are essential to the University.
To compensate for lack of public funding, Gray-Little said the University has received alternative funding from private sources.
Gray-Little said the state's budget is in "a kind of unclear, unstable place right now". In the last few years, as funding and resources have decreased, Gray-Little said tuition has gone up, but there is a limit on how high the University can raise it. She said there is a certain point where students cannot afford the tuition.
"How do we have the kind of offerings we have at a price that a larger percentage of students can afford?" Gray-Little said. "That's the question we're all trying to address."
Mental health
Gray-Little said administration is looking at how to increase staff and decrease wait time for mental health care appointments in addition to providing staff members who are representative of student identities.
"It is not possible to guarantee that when a student goes there, they will find a person of their gender and ethnic background waiting there to see them," Gray-Little said. "But I think we can work toward having staff diversity, which would change the tenor of the place and I think make students feel that the staff in general are aware of the diversity of the campus. And that's the goal that we want."
Several students have raised concerns that the University does not provide adequate resources for students with severe
mental illnesses, like bipolar disorders.
Gray-Little said that, to some degree there's always going to be a level of health service, whether it be mental or physical, that the University will not be able to offer.
"There's always going to be a time that for either mental health or other health services, there's a level of services that is not going to be offered at the University, and for which a student will have to be referred to someone or to some place that has more extensive facilities or expertise," Gray-Little said.
Gray-Little said she believes there needs to be a clear conversation about exactly what services the University offers in order to prevent frustration when a student is in need.
"I think we have to have that conversation about what is a reasonable expectation for a University's mental health offerings," Gray-Little said.

While the change was defeated, Gov. Walker's attempt speaks to a larger trend in society and academia: an obsession with making money. Leaders from President Obama to Sen. Marco Rubio to Gov. Sam Brownback have spoken about the need to extract more economic value out of education.

I often hear this same logic in how people think of success. When talking with classmates about the future, most frame success in the same terms: Which major will bring in the most wealth? Where will I see the biggest return on my investment of time and money?
This same commercialized logic seems to pervade all
aspects of society today.

Philosopher Michael Sandel discusses this in his book "What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets." He argues that when we allow all parts of our life to be governed by the market — by what will give us the most profit and utility — we disregard morality.

When we allow our lives and educations to be driven by profit, we do not think about whether something is right or wrong, good or bad.
Examples include the value of human life, happiness and civic participation.

Social media platforms are not optimal places to discuss our interpersonal conflicts and arguments
and where they don't." Don't let money be the sole determiner of your actions, either in life or in your education. Do what you find fulfillment in rather than what is likely to give you material wealth. In this way we can listen to Sandel's warning that "we have drifted from having a market economy to being a market society."
MATTHEW CLOUGH
@mcloughsofly
It's not uncommon to see someone write something controversial or instigating on a Twitter page, and it's easy to write back a demeaning remark behind the security of a computer screen. The longer the conflict goes on, the more people get involved, and suddenly it's a huge issue that stemmed from something trivial.
Jesse Burbank is a junior from Quinter studying economics, political science and history.
Although such engagements can be entertaining to watch, the phenomenon known as
"subtweeting" is representative of little more than immaturity and the inability to handle arguments in an adult, responsible manner. To many, the act comes off as petty, and can often be interpreted as someone just looking to start a fight.
This can become especially problematic for people using their Twitter accounts for both personal and professional purposes. Potential employers who happens to stumble across a couple harsh quips on a Twitter profile may view him or her as unprofessional and not worth considering for
a position.
Aside from professional settings, the culture of subtweeting is simply becoming too much of a mainstream sensation. The Guardian published an article in July 2014 detailing how to craft the perfect comeback, while Digital Trends has even gone so far as to call it an art. When did our culture become so focused on such trivial matters?
Arguing on Facebook and other social media platforms has become a common occurrence as well. It's especially easy to get carried away when someone isn't talking with
other people in person, and such arguments can easily turn into bullying.
The bottom line is that acts like subtweeting and starting fights with others on Facebook and other social media platforms does little if anything to solve the issues at hand. Just like with relationships, personal communication is essential to resolve anything. Squabbling over social media only results in creating a more hostile environment for interaction, and usually just annoys others who follow the people involved.
Social media platforms
Matthew Clough is a junior from Wichita studying English and journalism.
should ultimately be used to promote information, spread knowledge and keep in touch with the people you care about. Turning them into places for conflict and controversy helps no one and can really only create petty rifts between friends. Keeping arguments off the Internet and focusing on productive conversation is a much better way to utilize the positives social media has to offer.
Have A Great Break!

Savannah Rodgers on the set of "The Generation Gap," a film she directed.
Student filmmaker shines in film festivals with her short film "Politically Correct"
BRIANNA CHILDERS @breeanuh3
When University student and filmmaker Savannah Rodgers was 12, she was inspired to become a screenwriter. It was all because of one movie; "Chasing Amy."
Rodgers, who is from Olathe,
said the film's plot and narratives drew her into the story.
"I was so inspired by it on a multitude of levels that I really wanted to become a writer." Rodgers said. "Ever since then I have just wanted to create movies that make people feel something."
Before college, Rodgers wanted to move to California to pursue a career in film but realized it wasn't financially reasonable, so she came to the University to learn as much as she could about film. Initially she wasn't going to
attend college, but now she is a junior and pursuing a degree in film and media studies.
Though Rodgers knew at an early age she wanted to be a writer, it wasn't until she was 16 that she realized her passion for filmmaking. Rodgers said she thinks film is a powerful medium that allows for a lot of creativity with dialogue and translates life's subtleties.
“[Film] is a very interesting way to connect with an audience because I think a lot of people learn through what they see and hear,” Rodgers said. “If you have a great movie, you can inspire people one way or another, not that I'm necessarily inspirational. It's just my goal to make people feel happy or sad, hopeless, or whatever.”
festivals, including Free State Festival, KC Fringe Festival and Merlinka International Queer Festival in Serbia. The film has also won a multitude of awards.
During her time at the University, Rodgers has directed seven films. One of them, "Politically Correct," has been in 15 film
"Politically Correct" is a short film about TV writers who try so hard to be respectful that they can't get any work done.
Rodgers said the film comes down to political correctness.
"I feel like we are at a time in our culture where people are very opposed to the idea of political correctness, but all it really means is being respectful of one another, so I thought it would be funny to write a short film about TV writers who try so hard to be respectful that they can't move forward with their careers," Rodgers said.
The short film is six minutes long, and Rodgers said she can't believe it's been in as many festivals as it has. She said she thinks it has been a good experience
and said she's met a lot of talented people she would have never met otherwise.
Rodgers said she keeps a running list of dialogue on her phone of things she hears and thinks would be hilarious for her screenplays.
"There is a great quote that says, 'If you are going to tell people the truth, you better damn well make them laugh.' That's pretty much how I feel," Rodgers said.
She said she bounces a lot of her ideas off of her writing partners at the University, and by the end of the week she has a script to show them. While the script may prove to be its own task, Rodgers said the process of filmmaking is a "pain in the ass."
"Making movies is a difficult process on any level, especially on a professional level, but it's very hard when you have no money." Rodgers said. "It's a lot
more time than people think, and it's very grueling at times, but if you don't love it, what's the point?"
Rodgers said that when she makes her short films, a shoot usually takes two days, but she has also shot a micro short film that only took about an hour.
The location of a film also plays a big role in films. Rodgers said she loves shooting in Lawrence because it's a "great community" that supports the arts and her fellow filmmakers.
In the future, Rodgers said she hopes to run a TV show and would like to do more directing.
"I want to work and work hard, and I want to make stuff that makes people happy." Rodgers said. "If I make the audience feel something very strongly one way or another, whether it's good or bad, I did my job."
Music in Focus: The Lawrence band La Guerre is in the studio recording an album, "Rage Etc."
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
HARMONIC ARTS
There's a fairly new band in town, and it's already making a name for itself. The band is La Guerre, and it consists of four Lawrence residents.
Katlyn Conroy, founder of La Guerre, said she decided to create the band after leaving a previous band, Cowboy Indian Bear. After starting La Guerre, Conroy initially had a rotating cast of musicians in the band.
Members of La Guerre. They're hoping to have "Rage Etc." completed by February.
"It was just very hard to keep up because [of] having to train new people," Conroy said. "So I decided to try and get a permanent lineup."
Orion Dollar, a 2015 University graduate, and sophomore Quinlan Cartar were previously in a band together and got in contact with Conroy through a mutual friend. They joined La Guerre around April.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO leted by February
The last member to join was Brian Roberts, who moved to Lawrence with his wife in August so she could attend graduate school at the University.
"I was on Craigslist looking for a place to play my drums, and I saw their ad, and it sounded like a good fit," Roberts said. "I heard their music and was like super impressed with it. We met and really hit it off and hit the ground running."
Conroy sings, plays the keyboard and occasionally plays guitar; Dollar plays guitar; Carttar does additional vocals and plays bass; Roberts plays drums.
The group said that while they play a variety of music, the best description of their sound is avant-garde pop.
"I think the content of it is dark and haunting, but the sounds can be light and pretty as well," Conroy said. "It's dark and odd and doesn't necessarily fit into a box, but you can put it on at a party and people won't freak out."
"That always stuck with me, and a lot of the themes in the songs I write have to do with inner battles," Conroy said. "I just wanted a really strong name that didn't invoke a specific genre. I didn't want people to know what they were going to hear before they heard it."
Conroy said the name La Guerre is inspired by a 10-minute a capella song involving a war in France that she sang in French class in high school.
The band is playing different gigs and is in the process of working on an album, titled "Rage Etc." They're currently in the recording process and hope to have it completed by February.
"We're going to really focus on knocking this album out and hopefully have some new material and start playing pretty frequently in the spring," Conroy said.
So far, each band member has faced challenges, but they said they are enjoying each other's company and flexibility.
Roberts said his main challenge has been translating music.
"There's a lot of electronic stun I'm having to translate into an acoustic drum set, so there's a lot of interpretation and changes and trying to make everything similar to electronic drums," Roberts said. "That's a big challenge, but it's been great for me because the past couple of months I've played with these guys I've progressed tremendously."
"My experience with instruments has all been analog up until now, and now it's all digital," Carttar said. "And there's so much knowledge that comes with it."
Carttar said her biggest challenge has been learning to play the bass synth.
Dollar said he's worked to incorporate guitar into some of
Over all, the band members agreed they are looking forward to completing the album and continuing to play shows.
Conroy said her biggest struggle has been writing music for the band.
their songs.
"The biggest challenge is writing things that are something we can all be proud of and play and feel really confident about," she said, "and just in general like how we as musicians or us as a collective band fits into the crazy world of music. [where] there are just no rules or easy ways to get about doing anything or getting anywhere."
— like just trying to find sounds that fit basically — is a bit of a challenge, but it's also really fun to try to experiment like that," he said.
"Trying to incorporate guitar into the songs that Katlyn wrote without it being too guitar ish
"Worst case scenario is we have an album we love and are really proud of, even if we don't have a label that wants it immediately," Carttar said. "It'll be a really good thing either way."
Conroy said she's happy to be playing with a more permanent band again and is looking forward to their future.
"We all just get along so well, and it just fits really well," Conroy said. "I just feel there can only be really good things to come, and, despite what we do and what happens, I feel like we have nowhere to go but up, and that's really exciting."

Before you start reading this list, please understand one thing: I don't know what the best songs of the year are. I have no way of being able to calculate this, and neither do you. All I can do is tell you what caught my ear.
I probably left some stuff out that should be on this list, but that happens. I really enjoyed all these songs this year, and I hope that if you didn't hear them earlier, you'll take a listen.
TOP 10 SONGS OF 2015

Rogers: Here are the top 10 albums of 2015
JARRET ROGERS
@JaretRogers
With the year and semester coming to an end, it's time to look back at all of the great albums released this year. Here are 10 of my favorites:
"Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper" by Panda Bear
— Panda Bear, also known as Noah Lennox, takes a second for himself on this record. In his band, Animal Collective, he isn't the main voice, and he clearly needed to say some things.
Throughout the 13 songs on the record, Lennox brings you into his world, where he's thankful for even the ability to think and where he ponders his own fears and insecurities. Both his musical aptitude and his ability to have his voice be heard are things we should all be thankful for in 2015. Few do this music thing better than Noah Lennox.
"Summertime '06" by Vince Staples — In a video with Noisey in 2014, Earl Sweatshirt said Vince Staples didn't need much time to make great music. In 2015, Staples proved him right by putting out a 20-song double record that comes in at under an hour.
Staples doesn't need much time, and Staples doesn't want much time. When it comes to Staples's music, the best strategy is to sit down and listen like your life depends on it. If you don't, you might miss something, and his music is too good and too important for us not to heed the words he spits all the way to the final mic drop.
"Every Open Eye" by Chvrches — There are some bands most bands, really — that might not shift the narrative around music or provide a fresh listening experience, but that's not all that makes a record great.
Chvrches "Every Open Eye," doesn't push forward into a new universe for the band or their electronic-pop genre, but what it does is provide a moment of refreshment. It's refreshing to step away from albums that make you think about the culture that surrounds you and just listen to great music. Lead singer Lauren Mayberry shines vocally, and the production surrounds her exquisitely to make one of the most enjoyable records of 2015.
"I Love You, Honeybear" by Father John Misty — Joshua Tillman is one of the best songwriters and composers we have in music today. His work rebels against the norm of what is considered a love ballad. This is the greatest talent of Tillman. His ability to take commonly talked about subject matters and frame them in a new

light is rarely seen.
Tillman makes records that are uniquely his. They're sure of themselves, and not lacking in ambition and personal touch. Some people might get it; others might not. Tillman doesn't seem to mind those who don't.
"EMOTION" by Carly Rae Jepsen - If Taylor Swift is the pop star who writes about the past, Carly Rae Jepsen is the pop star who writes about imagining the future.
From the beginning, Jepsen bursts out the lyrics. "Run away with me," drawing an image of the future she wants with the person she loves. Jepsen made the best pure pop album of 2015 and didn't care how many people were listening in the process.
"In Colour" by Jamie XX — Going solo can be disastrous for some and a breakthrough for others. For Jamie XX, his first solo album was the latter.
As the producer of beats behind Romy and Oliver of the XX, Jamie stands in the back and is often never heard from. On "In Colour" jamie is front and center. Romy and Oliver are featured on three great songs, but they don't separate themselves from the pack, making this a complete album that is perfectly paced and masterfully crafted.
"The Things We Do To Find People Like Us" by Beach Slang — Echoing vibes from the '90s, Beach Slang just wants to rock out. They have no优尔盾材质 behind their music, and they make music that feels nostalgic for a time when those vibes were present amongst all of music.
Beach Slang doesn't care about anything other than making great
Beach Slang doesn't care about anything other than making great music — and they make great music.
"To Pimp a Butterfly" by Kendrick Lamar - Kendrick Lamar made the album we need in 2015. He gave us the album that, in 2015, was most culturally relevant and shifted the narrative the most.
Fox News said after a performances of Lamar's that his words would incite violence. And if we needed any other representation, artistically speaking, of where we stand as a country, I'm not sure what it is.
"Art Angels" by Grimes — Grimes is the anti-pop-star who makes beautiful songs meant for head-banging and rage while also composing some of the most smooth dance songs out right now.
The contrasting styles keep listeners on their toes, and on the B-side the album brings things down a notch, but Grimes doesn't lose touch with what makes her music so special. Everything feels smooth and meditated, as the album has been in the works for the better part of three years. "Art Angels" is an album that was worth the wait.
"Ego Death" by The Internet — Some albums don't get what they deserve, and it seemed like the Internet's record "Ego Death" was headed that way until a recent Grammy nomination, a welcome nod for any artist.
Ego Death fuses together beats and production that feel fitting both for this smooth combination of hip-hop and jazz and for a Tyler, the Creator album. The album has sounds fitting for a horror movie and a piano bar. "Ego Death" is an ambitious, exciting album for a group that is just getting started.

Junior safety Fish Smithson was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team.
Four Kansas football players honored in Big 12 postseason awards
The Big 12 released its post-season awards for the 2015 football season. While schools like Oklahoma, Baylor and Oklahoma State took home many honors, a few Jayhawks were honored.
Junior safety Fish Smithson was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team.
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
Smithson led the Jayhawks with 111 total tackles, which also ranked him at No. 15 in the country in the total tackles category. Smithson's 87 solo tackles, including an average of 7.9 solo stops per game, led the nation.
The Jayhawks also received three All-Big 12 Honorable Mention players: senior defensive end Ben Goodman, sophomore tight end Ben Johnson and junior fullback Michael Zunica.
As one of the leaders of the Jayhawk defense, Goodman proved to be one of Kansas' best pass rushers. Goodman led the defense with 5.5 sacks and 9.5 tackles-for-loss. He also ranked seventh on the team with 34 total tackles.
In his sophomore season, Johnson became one of the more reliable tight ends for the Jayhawks. He recorded 13 receptions for 115 yards and no touchdowns, managing to average 8.85 yards per reception.
Zunica, while he didn't receive the same amount of production as many of the key offensive pieces for the Jayhawks, succeeded as an effective blocker and a key asset on special teams. Zunica recorded one tackle during the 2015 season.
While the Jayhawks failed to secure a win this season, there is plenty of talent on the roster. With many young players getting a lot of valuable game experience, it may not be long before they start to produce big-time stats and help the Jayhawks get back to respectability on the field.

Hardy: They may have similar beginnings, but KU volleyball and football have diverged
Both wear crimson and blue and the word Kansas across their chests. Both are fall sports, which often times leak into the winter months. Both have gone through tumultuous years — one of them is enduring just that — but also years of national success.
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@ByHardy
The football team, which went 0-12 under new head coach David Beaty, is in a mode of rebuilding, with some hope of a formidable product on the field on the horizon. The Jayhawks' season ended with no postseason play at 0-12.
The Kansas volleyball and football teams are similar. Yet, when awards were dished out this past week, as the regular season wound down, it painted an entirely different picture: The two programs are in entirely opposite states as it stands today.
This year was a low point in Kansas football history.
The volleyball squad, under coach Ray Bechard, started the season 19-0 — the longest winning streak and best start in the team's history. For the third year in a row, the team finished second in the Big 12, and for the second time in three years, the Jayhawks are going to the Sweet 16.
This year has been the peak of Kansas volleyball's 40-year history.
Three volleyball players — sophomores Ainise Havili and Kelsie Payne and junior Tayler Souci — were all named to the All-Big 12 first team. Those same three were five of the players named to the AVCA Midwest Region team.
On the football side of things,
Beaty's team picked up no All-Big 12 first team honors.
Though each team had one player on the All-Big 12 second
team, the coaching awards, which Bechard has swept thus far, made it clear. Bechard's team has evolved since he arrived in 1998. In the four years before his arrival, Kansas never went over .500. He's gone .500 or better in 14 of his 18 seasons since, and he has led the Jayhawks to two Sweet 16 appearances — the only two in Kansas volleyball history.
Seemingly everyone in the Kansas football program is fully supporting Beaty and his staff after the winless season. Yet he appears years and years away from any coach-of-the-year consideration, which Bechard got a taste of this year. From the looks of it now, he could be another year away from a win, and he's certainly got some rebuilding to do before a postseason
appearance
"Each day we're going to move closer to being a Big 12 championship team,
and I think that's important that they understand what that means each and every day so they're challenged."
RAY BECHARD
Volleyball Coach
Beachard went through that too, though. It was his sixth season when he finally broke into the NCAA tournament, and it wasn't until last year that Beachard finally won two games and advanced to the Sweet 16. Beachard talked this season about the team's "essential intent" win a Big 12 Championship and make it to the Elite 8.
"Each day we're going to move closer to being a Big 12 championship team, and I think that's important that they understand what that means each and every day so they're challenged," Bechard said. "We've had to stop
practice a few times and say,
'Are you training like a Big 12
Champion right now? Are you
training like a team that wants to
be in the Elite 8?'
one of those can be accom plished this weekend. The other is still on the horizon, as Bechard is still riding in the coat-tails of Texas volleyball. Bechard, while he wasn't making NCAA tournament appearances, was making progress. Jayhawk fans should hope it's the same for Beaty and Kansas football. Slowly, Beaty should be able to bring in wins and get to .500. After all, Bechard was 5-15 in the Big 12 in his first season and below .500 on the year. But he built a culture that was strong enough to bring in recruits, keep those recruits, and he continued to build off of them to get to the point the team is today.
With building blocks like junior safety Fish Smithson, who led the Big 12 in tackles with 111, and freshman quarterback Ryan Willis and a handful of young targets for him to build rapport with, Beaty has a few players with whom he can move the program forward. He has installed his own version of "essential intent," which, for now, is not about winning games (though that's certainly important) but rather "earning it."
While the two programs seem to be in stark contrast now, who's to say they can't be similar in the near future? After all, Bechard and his players know it can be done — they're only one game away from achieving the goals that Bechard set for the team at the beginning of the season.
"We would have definitely had an unprecedented season if we made it to the Elite 8," said sophomore setter Ainise Havili. "It would definitely make a statement about the program and how far we've come."

Despite Brannen Greene's return and Cheick Diallo's OK, Kansas men's basketball has yet to play at its full strength
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
It has been an eventful start to the 2015-16 season for Kansas, to say the least. In the early stages of the season, Kansas coach Bill Self wrestled with the NCAA over the eligibility of freshman big man Check Diallo. Then, just as that was clearing up, junior guard Brannen Greene was slapped with a six-game suspension.
Nevertheless, Kansas stormed out to a 6-1 start on the season, which included a championship performance in the Maui Invitational, and appeared to be one of the more talented teams in the country.
With Greene returning early and Diallo cleared, Wednesday's contest against Holy
Cross was the first chance for Kansas fans to see the team at full strength.
Or so they thought.
or so they thought.
Senior forward Jamari Traylor and junior forward Landen Lucas were both held out of the game for precautionary reasons, as they were a bit banged up.
"They got the shaft tonight because they could have played, but I didn't see any reason to [play them]," Self said. "They could have played five minutes but then turned an ankle, and we need to be at full strength." Despite not having a pair of their frontcourt pieces, the Jayhawks stormed past the Crusaders, 92-59.
One reason for the lopsided win was the return of Greene, who came back one game early
from his suspension.
"He's been practicing well, and his attitude has been really good, so I thought that was enough," Self said. "He definitely earned his way back on the court."
"He's been practicing well, and his attitude
has been really good, so I thought that was enough. ... He definitely earned his way back on the court."
BILL SELF Kansas Coach
The junior checked in at the 11:53 mark in the first half,
and he immediately knocked down a three on his first offensive possession to increase the lead to double digits.
His three-point basket opened up the floodgates, as the team began finding the bottom of the net on just about every shot beyond the arc.
"It definitely felt good to be back on the court," Greene said. "After practice yesterday, coach told me I was going to play. But I didn't really know how many minutes I would play."
Greene finished the game with a trio of three-pointers, scoring 14 points in 17 minutes.
"He doesn't really miss," said junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. "We are a great team when he is out there."
Without Lucas and Traylor, Kansas never featured a three-big-man lineup — something the team had gone to in most games of the season. For that, the wings found extra minutes in the game, as was the case for the big men, especially senior Hunter Mickelson.
In his first official start with Kansas, Mickelson was efficient, finishing with two blocks, two assists and two steals in 15 minutes.
"Hunter didn't score and really didn't get a lot of rebounds, but I thought he did some good things too," Self said. "It was a nice effort, but it wasn't anything special by any means."
And it wasn't just the senior who benefited. Diallo and freshman Carlton Bragg Jr.
saw more time as a result of the injury bug. After combining for 16 minutes on Saturday against Harvard, the two young big men recorded 36 minutes against Holy Cross. Over all, Wednesday didn't turn out to be the first glimpse of the team's full potential, but it did allow Self to get other players some much-needed court time. As the conference season looms, Self is still trying to figure out how to piece it all together.
The layhawks' untapped potential has yet to be discovered, but Wednesday night showed that even when they are not at full strength, they are still one of the more difficult teams in the country to stop.

Column: Appreciating the condition of KU volleyball
AMIE JUST
@Amie_Just
To truly appreciate how good you have it, you need to take a look back at the past.
In recent times, Kansas volleyball has flourished, posting single-digit loss seasons four years in a row. The team has been to the NCAA Tournament four years in a row and is currently awaiting its second Sweet 16 match of all-time.
Kansas has played 40 complete seasons. The 2015 campaign is the 41st. Of those 41 seasons, Kansas has posted 15 seasons with a record under .500. Only one of those has come within the past 10 years, when Kansas went 10-19 in 2006.
The achievements of the past,pre
Ray Bechard, weren't much for the team to hang its collective hat on. In the four seasons before Bechard was hired, the Jayhawks went 34-86, eclipsing a 10-win season just once.
Kansas held its first season in 1975 under the direction of Jack Isgur, a lawyer from Missouri. Those were different times.
Isgur's team went 30-19-2 in his lone season as head coach, playing teams like Swaim of KC and Max Pack of St. Louis. Missouri and Kansas State were also on the schedule that season. Kansas swept Kansas State both times that year and was swept by Missouri both times.
Bob Stanclift took over for Isgur, coaching the jayhawks for three seasons from 1976 to 1978. He also coached softball during that time and continued that position until 1987.
He didn't coach a losing season, as the Jayhawks went 101-62-6 under him. But after him was when things went dark.
Bob Lockwood held the reigns of the program from 1979 to 1984 and had one winning season, in 1980. Aside from coaching volleyball, Lockwood also held stints coaching men's wrestling (no longer a program), men's gymnastics (no longer a program), men's tennis (no longer a program) and diving (men's diving is no longer a program). In Kansas first two years in the Big Eight, the Jayhawks went 0-20 in conference play.
Frankie Albitz took over after Lockwood quit coaching to dedicate his time to facility management and teaching. Albitz never led the Jayhawks to a Big Eight championship,
but she at least got the 1991 team to the National Invitational Volleyball tournament.
Albitz told the Lawrence Journal-World in 1985 that it was possible to turn the team around. She also described the 1985 team as enthusiastic "that the school is getting more serious about their sport."
30 years later, the University, the students and the community are very serious about their beloved volleyball team. Especially since they're excelling.
If Kansas defeats Loyola Marymount on Friday, it would advance to Elite Eight for the first time in the program's rocky history.
"It would definitely make a statement about our program and how far we've come," sophomore setter Ainise Havilli said.
Bechard said the team has been talking about potentially making the Elite Eight since before the season even started.
"We talked about a Big 12 Championship," Bechard said. "We talked about the Elite Eight. Those are a couple things we call our 'essential intent', which is why we gather every day and why we train hard [and] try to be the best we can be each and every day. If you don't have markers like that, it's easy to drift into mediocrity, and this team has not done that."
The goal in 1985?
To get a conference win.
This week's goal in 2015?
"Try to go 2-0," Bechard said.
Try to get to the Final Four.

Bernie Sanders delegate's passion for politics fueled by experiences growing up in a low-income, refugee family

A third University student has been elected to serve as one of Kansas' 33 delegates at the Democratic National Convention July 25-28 in Philadelphia. Shaher Ibrahimi, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., will join Damien
Gilbert and Justin Kim at the convention as a Bernie Sanders delegate.
Ibrahimi said he took an interest in politics from his experiences growing up in a refugee family who came from Afghanistan. After living in Section 8 Housing, or government-authorized, low-income accommodations, he realized the

The convention Ibrahimi, Gilbert and Kim will attend is the formal nominating process for the democratic candidates for president and vice president of the United States. Each state is given a proportional amount of delegates and superdelegates
to award a candidate. Delegates pledge their vote at the national convention to a candidate based on the results of the state primary or caucus. Superdelegates are not bound to support either candidate.
"I eventually understood that politics were played a little differently in both of those arenas. How do you maximize treating everybody with respect and dignity even if they don't have much to offer? In politics, it's, 'What do you have to offer?' and then,

Fundraising event will benefit Lawrence Shelter

@ConnerMitchell0
Students Empowering Local Futures, a University student organization, works with the Lawrence Community Shelter to raise awareness about the homeless community. On May 4, the student volunteers and Lawrence shelter will host a fundraising event.
You can't help but realize that these are people just like us."
Alex Kong co-founder of SELF
Alex Kong, a senior from Lawrence who co-founded the organization last fall, said he hopes the event raises both money and awareness for the shelter's growing opportunity to help guests.
Drew VonEhrenkrook, director of employment and jobs at the shelter, said the event is not something the regular shelter staff would necessarily have time to coordinate, and he was especially thankful for SELF and the student volunteers.
"I think it's great that we can showcase not only these wonderful volunteers and what they're doing but getting these stories out there as well," VonEhrenkrook said. "I think what [people who attend the event] will come away with is the resilience these individuals have. Getting that awareness out there is incredibly helpful to our cause."
Kong said he began volunteering at the shelter a year ago. He began by helping guests fill out online applications for jobs and
housing. He said he wanted to increase his outreach when he realized his role allowed him to only help one guest at a time due to the shelter only having one computer.
Kong formed the group when he began working with other students. Kong said SELF has been able to provide the Lawrence Community Shelter with 15 computers and put together an after-school program for children at the shelter. The organization has also arranged a series of monthly health presentations.
"You can't help but realize that these are people just like us that, especially as college students, we can just be a step or two away from the same situation from having that financial instability," Kong said.
"We take it kind of personally when we see in other news sources that people are digging on the shelter and doing that without realizing who the population is," he said.
The group will hold a fundraising event at 7 p.m. May 4 at Maceli's Banquet Hall & Catering on 1031 New Hampshire St. Tickets for the event, which can be purchased at the shelter website, are $25 and include a full meal.
Kong said the goal is to have 100 attendees at the fundraiser, which would raise $1,300 for the shelter. He said there will also be a silent auction with donated items from various partners around the community, which could raise the event total to around $3,000.
He said one of the goals is to raise awareness of Lawrence's homeless community.

Lack of Douglas County community tornado shelters a complicated issue, officials say
TANNER HASSELL
@thassell17
As spring comes around in Kansas again, eyes turn to the sky nervously with every thunderstorm that rolls through. The possibility of a tornado is an annual ritual those in the Midwest are used to.
Dangerous weather is sometimes synonymous with finding shelter. However, Douglas County and Lawrence do not have designated shelters, and officials say the issue is complicated to address.
According to the National Weather Service, there were 40 tornadoes in the state of Kansas during 2014. Between 1950 and 2014 there were 39 tornadoes in Douglas County, causing 48 injuries and 1 death.
Jillian Rodrigue, the assistant director of emergency management for Douglas County, said shelters for severe weather have been a topic discussed by the County and City Commissions but have never been addressed due to the complexity of the issue.
"There's a conversation around storm shelters just about every year. It's very difficult because of the guidelines surrounding shelters."
"When a storm shelter is built into a new building it affects the standard of the construction," Walthal said. "If a space or building is not constructed with the appropriate features or it's not designed to withstand severe weather then it can't be designated as a public shelter."
"The biggest problem is the potential for people to leave good shelters to seek out public storm shelters and put themselves in danger while doing so," Rodrigue said. "The guidance we give is for people to move to an inner room in their home with no windows during a tornado."
City of Lawrence Building Safety Manager Barry Walthal said building codes play a big part in the designation of storm shelters.
Rodriguez said. "There are specific rules for storm shelters regarding a certain amount of time in which you can get them open and then close them and also about how many shelters to have within a certain proximity that allows people to get there within the time frame. It's something that the commissions have decided not to do thus far."
Rodrigue said having public shelters would also require someone to open the shelters in severe weather situations, which could endanger people leaving their homes to seek out the shelters.
Walthal said conversations that have occurred regarding community shelters have focused around mandating new buildings be built with storm shelters in the plans, but no action has been taken.
"The code used by the city for storm shelters give outlines on designs for individual shelters all the way up to community shelters, but there isn't anything currently mandating the building or designation of shelters for the public," he said.
Teri Smith, the director of Douglas County Emergency Management, said community shelters are an issue that often come up in the "after action" discussions, which are done annually after every storm season.
"Our 'after action' reviews are an opportunity to address questions that the community has about storm safety, and community shelters has been brought up on different occasions," Smith said. "It's an ongoing discussion. We really want to look at it and determine what is best for everyone in the community."

Proposal approved in Kansas House changes judicial selection process

▶ ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A proposal approved in the Kansas House gives the secretary of state a role in how the nine-member commission that names three finalists for each high court vacancy elects its members.
The bill approved Saturday requires that the secretary of state receive a roster of lawyers eligible to participate in the elections of the commission's attorney members. Another provision gives the authority for counting ballots cast by lawyers for the commission members to the attorney general and secretary of state.

"There has never in 50 years been any suggestion of any form of impropriety in connection with those elections," Carmichael told The Associated Press. "They run efficiently and inexpensively under the direct supervision of the clerk of the Kansas Supreme Court."
Currently, two or more licensed lawyers chosen by the chief justice serve as the canvassers. Democratic Rep. John Carmichael, of Wichita, said that change violates the separation of powers between government branches.
Following a turbulent passage through the chamber, Representatives voted 72-50 Saturday in favor of the bill. The Kansas House initially voted 57-56 against a version of the bill to give the governor a bigger voice in who is nominated for the Kansas Supreme Court, but later voted 64-56 to reconsider so that lawmakers could draft a new version.
The bill came amid broad discontent from Gov. Sam Brownback and other conservatives over the court's rulings against the state on school funding and overturning death penalty verdicts.
Currently, the chief justice of the Supreme Court chooses replacements if the chairman or attorney commission members resign before their terms are completed. Negotiators removed a controversial provision in the bill that would have allowed the governor to appoint replacements instead.
They said the decision to overturn death sentences for brothers Jonathan and Reginald Carr for the killings of four people in Wichita in December 2000 argues for the need to reassess the selection process.

Michael Ratcliffe census bureau assistant division chief
The new maps for political districts aren't due in Kansas until 2022. But officials from the U.S. Census Bureau met with the state Legislature's research department last week to discuss the process and get familiar with data and computer software that will be used, The Lawrence Journal-World reported.
"It's a long process, so we want to get information out early so folks can start preparing whatever material they need — geographic information; software — so they can start thinking about how they're going to implement the program when it comes time to actually start redistricting," said Michael Ratcliffe, the Census Bureau's assistant division chief for geographic standards in Washington.
The next census will be in 2020 and states have two years after that to draw new political maps.
The census counts each state's residents and maps them into geographic units known as census "blocks." Legislatures use that data to draw maps that are supposed to be as equal in population as possible.
The process is often controversial. In 2012, Kansas lawmakers were unable to draw a redistricting plan of their own, leaving the job to a three-judge federal court panel.

An estimated 2.9 million

and the Dakotas hit their peaks in the late 1800s, others in the early part of the 20th century," he said. "And that's happening all across the country, really, not just out here."
The shift likely means the next round of redistricting will leave Kansas City, Lawrence and Wichita metropolitan areas with more seats in the Kansas Legislature, with fewer rural legislators. That could lead to significant changes in how the state's four congressional districts are configured. It appears the First district, which covers all of western Kansas and much of central
Kansas will become larger geographically, while the Second and Third Districts of eastern Kansas, and the Fourth District around Wichita will become smaller.
"We provide the data. The states then do the work. We stay out of that," Ratcliffe said.
The state officials who met at the Statehouse won't be involved in those decisions. They will manage the data files and software programs that allow lawmakers and others to draw maps and submit their proposals for the new districts.

"You do not make this major change and risk constitutional infirmities without some good reason to do so," Carmichael said. "This legislation is unnecessary."

Lawrence community ‘Takes Back the Night’ to protest sexual violence
Activists participate in the "Take Back the Night" march to South Park on April 29
▶ LARA KORTE

For survivors of assault and sexual violence, nighttime can represent a dark and dangerous space. But on Thursday night, students took to the streets, shared their stories and spoke out against sexual violence, rape culture and victim blaming at "Take Back the Night."
"It came from the sexual assault movement to address the fact that we don't feel safe at night," said Rachel Gadd-Nelson, director of community engagement at the Sexual Trauma and Abuse Care Center. "And we are going to take up space and we are going to take back the night in a way that will kind of rally the community together against sexual assault."
Gadd-Nelson said Take Back the Night is a national event and has been happening in Lawrence for several decades, although the operation has switched hands a few times over the years. Starting with the Willow Domestic Violence Center, it was later run by the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity, and in recent years has been taken over by the Care Center.
The night kicked off in the plaza outside the Kansas Union with a satirical, musical performance by Jenn Freitag, a sexual violence educator and activist. Her solo performance piece, entitled, "I Want My Jacket Back," spoke to her personal experiences with sexual violence, as well as sexuality and gender identity. Freitag tackled each topic with a bit of mirth, sarcasm and plenty of vibrato.
After Freitag's performance, students and community members marched from the Union to Lawrence's South Park on Massachusetts Street. Waving rainbow flags and holding signs, the group of about 50 people marched down 12th Street chanting phrases such as, "Whatever we wear, wherever we go, yes means yes, no means no" and, "We have the power. We have the right, the streets are ours, take back the night."
"One of the reasons I started writing songs was because I needed a little bit of lightness," Freitag said. "I needed a way to think about these issues that didn't make me feel terrible about the world. And I think I still kind of feel a little bit terrible about the things that are going on in the world, but also, I find there is something about singing silly songs about gender and about these kinds of things, that invites some more conversations about these issues in a little bit different kind of way."
Caitlin Crawford, a senior from Lawrence and a marcher at Take Back the Night, said she feels the event is about reclaiming a space she's currently excluded from.
"I just think it says the nighttime is a place for everyone," Welch said. "My friends always tell me, 'Don't walk through the parking lot,' but why shouldn't that be a place that I'm allowed to be, and it should be a place that you're allowed to be."
Although the march had been omitted in past years, Gadd-Nelson said they decided to bring back the tradition last year in light of recent events on campus.
"That was really intentional," Gadd-Nelson said. "We wanted to bring campus and community together, knowing last year - it was April of 2015 - we had spent the whole year with all the student activism, all the increased focus. So we thought that it was not just a way to wrap up Sexual Assault Awareness Month, but also just wrapping up the year, saying, 'It's been a really hard year,' for survivors."
We 1
We have the power. We have the right. The streets are ours. Take back the night."
Annie Lacy, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., was another marcher at Take Back the Night. She said she thinks speaking about nighttime and sexual assault is particularly important in a town like Lawrence.
Take Back the Night participant chant
The march from the Union ended in South Park where individuals were able to meet with local sexual assault prevention organizations and hear from student leaders.
Kynnedi Grant, a junior from St. Louis, spoke to the crowd about the emotional difficulties surrounding her own experience with assault, and her work as a co-founder of the social justice student group Rock
"I think it says a lot that we're doing this in a college town," Lacy said. "There's a lot of us, a lot of us going out at night, it's like a party-town type deal, you want to feel safe when you're walking home, and you don't want to drive home after you've been drinking."

Grant said after becoming somewhat of a public figure due to her advocacy work, she has faced an onslaught of doubt and criticism. She said in many instances of abuse, one of the most traumatic experiences for a survivor is victim blaming.
"Something in assault, of all forms, that we often overlook is the second assault," Grant said. "And what that second assault includes is victim blaming,
people challenging you, people questioning the feasibility of the things that you expressed that have happened to you, people that will discuss your character and challenge your character, and challenge your integrity, and really do anything to dehumanize you because they feel entitled to your space and entitled to your story."
After speaking publicly about her assault at the Nov. 11 Town Hall Meeting, Grant said she felt trapped, overwhelmed and worthless.
"Something that Take Back the Night has inspired me to believe is that you don't owe anyone anything," she said. "I say this is much easier said than done, but you should only allow people to have space and take some of your
"Feeling like if I had just kept my mouth shut, I wouldn't be here," she said. "That it was me who caused all of the commotion, me who spoke out against the system, me that challenged folks. But the reason I challenged was that I genuinely believed we could all do better."
Grant said recovering from her assault and the doubt surrounding it has been a difficult road, and that the best thing survivors can do is find people who have their best interests at heart.
Grant wrapped up by telling the audience to focus on conserving themselves and left them with one parting piece of advice.
"Your self-worth is tangential, only tangential to the way people speak about you, what people think about you," Grant said. "And there are very few people who have the privilege of truly knowing who you are."
energy if they are genuinely willing to reciprocate it."
ence members gathered in a candle-lit circle where they were able to confidently share their own experiences with assault and sexual violence.
After the campus events over the past few years, Gadd-Nelson said she thinks many people are afraid the conversation around assault and sexual violence will fade away, and that Take Back the Night gives people the opportunity to keep the conversation rolling.

"So I hope that folks will feel like they have a voice and can get involved and that this is still relevant," Gadd-Nelson said. "It's not just, 'Oh we fixed it, now we're good.' It's something that we're going to have to work at."

Liston: Professional research and social change must drive suicide prevention
Dylan
RYAN LISTON
@rliston35
n 2014, the suicide rate in the United States reached a 30-year high, according to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The age-adjusted rate increased by 24 percent from 1999 through 2014.
Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. It is, however, a topic that people seldom want to discuss. Because of the stigma that surrounds suicide,
there is relatively little specific information regarding why people choose suicide.
While the reasons people choose suicide are complex and oftentimes numerous, we must not give up on trying to understand and address these issues. We need to develop effective strategies and treatments for people struggling with suicidal thoughts.
Yo Jackson, a professor in the clinical child psychology program and the psychology/applied behavioral science departments, recently received a five-year, $3.7 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to conduct research on childhood trauma. Although the study does not focus specifically on suicide, trauma can contribute to other psychological issues throughout a person's life and the decision for suicide.
In order to develop prevention methods, we must heavily invest in researching suicide and mental health issues. One such study comes from the University of Kansas itself.
Education is a powerful tool in combating many issues, and it has the potential to help combat the increase in suicides. Educating individuals on mental health can reduce the existing stigma. By implementing lessons on mental health throughout the educational process, students could gain a greater understanding of mental health issues and the resources they
Studies such as Jackson's can yield important insight into the psychological, biological and environmental factors that contribute to mental health issues. Professional research, though, is not enough to reverse the increase in the national suicide rate. The general public must also be involved in order to truly effect change.
have to treat them.
Additionally, we must avoid romanticizing suicide. Suicide is a serious issue that should not be condoned or supported. In the case of actor Robin Williams' suicide, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences tweeted a screenshot from Aladdin with the caption "Genie, you're free." Although the tweet was meant as a tribute, the description of suicide as a form of freedom might serve as encouragement for someone with suicidal thoughts.
A 1994 CDC report found that "nonfictional newspaper and television coverage of suicide has been associated with a statistically significant excess of suicides," especially when portrayed as "honoring the suicidal behavior of the deceased person, rather than mourning the person's death." When the media or an individual romanticizes suicide, they can unintentionally imply that suicide is an acceptable coping mechanism.
Everyone can benefit from learning about mental health issues. We cannot allow conversations regarding mental health or even suicide to be shut down because of discomfort. We must open the conversation and spread awareness of the issue to as many people as possible. By combining social change with professional research, we can reverse the increase in suicides and help those struggling with suicidal thoughts.
The local Lawrence suicide hotline can be reached at 785-841-2345 and the national hotline is 800-273-8255.

Nasseri: Boycotting discriminatory policies an effective way to promote social change
YOU ARE A MEMBER
BROOK NASSERI
@enasser32
House Bill No.1523, also known as the "Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act," passed into law earlier this month in Mississippi. This bill protects people who act on "sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction," such as describing marriage exclusively as between one man and one woman, condemning premarital sex, and defining biological sex as objective, immutable and determined at birth.
The bill allows people and businesses to decide whether they provide or refuse employment, housing and marriage-related services based on their personal beliefs and convictions-with complete
These new laws and controversies are forcing our nation to deal with curious and frustrating questions as we look to the future. How do overwhelmingly heteronormative systems maintain their long-held discriminatory practices? Where should the balance be between enforcing equality and protecting First Amendment rights? How can ordinary people contribute to legal and social change?
Just one year ago, thirteen states had constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriages. Our own Maddy Mikinski called out certain events of 2015, writing that it "has not been a good year for equality." However, the Supreme Court's decision on June 26 determined that the U.S. Constitution guarantees marriage as a fundamental right for all couples.
protection from punishment by the state.
In spite of the Supreme Court's marriage equality ruling, Mississippi's bill is nothing new or unusual. As of last month, only 18 states prohibit discrimination in terms of "employment, hous-
The failure of the Georgia bill demonstrates hope for the future as well as a way that ordinary citizens can enact change within their communities. While businesses are legally allowed to refuse services based on customers' sexual orientation or gender identity in most states, they are not protected from
Last month Georgia Governor Nathan Deal vetoed a bill in his state that paralleled the Mississippi bill, citing "the character of Georgia" as his reason for the rejection. Other factors, namely the threat of boycott by companies like Disney, Apple and AMC Networks, undoubtedly also played a role in his decision; the film industry in Georgia contributed $1.7 billion to the state's economy last year, and the potential loss of a show like "The Walking Dead" that is filmed in Georgia was likely too much for the Republican governor to take.
the societal consequences of those practices. And ordinary people can use their money as votes, boycotting those businesses that exercise their legally-protected discrimination.
ing and public accommodations based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression." There is an obvious disconnect between federally-mandated equality and social change.
While the most prominent boycott right now is associated with #boycottTarget, a movement in protest of inclusive bathroom policies for transgender individuals, choosing not to support businesses that have refused service or employment to people based on their identity has been a real source of positive social change in this country.
Places like college campuses are ideal places to spread awareness of companies with discriminatory practices, and a vocal group of people motivated either to support or avoid certain businesses has the potential to enact lasting change. Brayden King researched how social movement boycotts often cause companies to respond dramatically to demonstrate their pro-social tendencies in order to preserve their reputations. Boycotts have the potential to benefit people immensely by
pressuring companies that did not previously endorse pro-social values.
The 2015 Supreme Court marriage equality ruling did not automatically remove bias and discrimination throughout the land. Now, the onus of enforcing equality falls on people at a smaller scale. The more people call for companies and businesses to reflect equal rights, the more businesses will respond with statements and practices that promote social justice.
As the public climate shifts, more and more people who were previously opposed will accept equal rights for all people. This change is slow and gradual and likely will never be fully accepted by all (a pesky 7% of Millennials surveyed in 2009 opposed interracial marriage, for instance). But even in spite of laws that protect discrimination, people working cooperatively have the power to promote, enforce and maintain social change.

Third-annual Kansas Food Truck Festival will come to Lawrence next weekend

@Ryanmiller_UKD
lawrence food lovers, families and hungry college students alike can enjoy the third annual Kansas Food Truck Festival next weekend. The festival is May 7 from 4-10 p.m. and benefits Just Food and the Doulas County Food Bank
The festival will take place between Eighth and Ninth Streets near Pennsylvania and Delaware Streets in downtown Lawrence.
Elizabeth Keever, executive director of Just Food, said this year's festival will feature 26 food trucks. When the festival began three years ago, only five food trucks were present.
"We get to try some places that Lawrence doesn't normally have, and also we've got a couple of great new local Lawrence food trucks that will be debuting their food at the festival, so we're really excited about trying theirs too," Keever said.
The food truck festival will also host a multi-vendor art sale by the Lawrence
Craft Collective, which will represent over 40 artists from the community. Keever said there will also be live entertainment on four stages with live music from local musicians in addition to entertainment from street performers from the Lawrence Busker Festival.
Mr. Nice Guys' Hot Box food truck, located in Topeka and owned by James McWilliams, will make its first Lawrence festival appearance. Mr. Nice Guys' Hot Box is best known for its Philly cheesesteaks and pulled pork sandwiches. Chris Miller, a manager for the food truck, said they joined this year's festival after the last year's turnout.
"The food truck business is booming so well, and since we've got our new mobile truck running this year, we are trying to be everywhere where everybody wants to be," Miller said.
Jason Hering, one of the owners of the Purple Carrot Co-op truck, said they have been part of the festival since it began three years ago and the event is about more than donating food.
"It just brings out so many people who don't normally get to experience food trucks either," Hering said.
"The first year, we didn't know how many people were going to come, and the next year we got even more in attendance, so it's been able to help us set some metrics for where our sellout point is, so we're expected to sell this event out," she said.
The funds raised from the festival will go toward food for the two hosting organizations and funding for their programs, said Keever. The biggest problem planning for the event, she said, was estimating its attendance. She estimates over 3,000 people coming.
Keever said the festival started after their event partner Cider Gallery started bringing food trucks to some of their Final Friday events.
"They got to thinking this really could be something we could really have and make a day of this and bring out a lot of food trucks, and it just kind of
grew from there," Keever said.
"It
It opens people to these new ideas from the different communities."

Miller said the food truck festival offers communities like Topeka, Kansas City and Lawrence the chance to connect.
"I think it's awesome that it's bringing everybody together, because with the food truck we find that there's so much passion that people have," Miller said. "And it brings so many people together that have a passion for good food, and this is a way to bring people that can't have big restaurants, a way for us to bring the food to people."
The festival is a way for food trucks, artists, entertainers and the community to come together to create a unique event, Hering said.
"It opens people to these new ideas from the different communities," he said. "It brings a lot of people from different areas all to one space to experience face-to-face what they might not normally experience."
The festival helps bring the community together through food and art and also helps to raise awareness for people in need of food assistance in Lawrence, Keever said.
"What I hope people take away from this is understanding how many people in the community really are in need. Douglas County has thousands of people who worry about where their next meal is coming from," she said.
Tickets for the festival are available online or at the Granada box office, Lawrence HyVee locations, Merchants Pub and Plate, Phoenix Gallery and Just Food for $10.

The show also gives the student artists an opportunity to compete for scholarships based off of their works and those involved must meet a requirement of a 3.0 GPA, as well as being a visual art major, Westergard said.
the artists and students," Westergard said. "Normally in a gallery the audience will walk in and just see the art without context or explanation."
"They won't be told until after the show, but there will be scholarships awarded to different mediums based on their uniqueness, consistency, and willingness to take risks," Westergard said.
Mary Anne Jordan, a professor and chair of the
department, said that while the scholarships are financially important for any student, they help validate the work that the artists are doing in the school.
Jordan also said the show is a great way for the department to emphasize the work done by students to their peers who may be interested in a minor or secondary major.
"Aside from an exhibition of the students competing for scholarship awards, all studio areas will be open for visiting," Jordan said. "This is a great time to see the private graduate and undergraduate studios as well as all of the studio classrooms."
Jordan said that the student work studios open to
viewers will be representing ceramics, expanded media, metalsmithing, jewelry, painting, printmaking, textiles and sculpturing.
Produced entirely by students in the Visual Arts department, Jordan said that the work is "compelling, thought provoking, beautiful, skilled, and interesting."
"A lot of students walk by Chalmers every day and never know what we do here," Westergard said. "This show helps validate the artists and everything they've been working on for the past year and for seniors, for the past four years of their careers, here at KU."
"I am proud of the work that the students produce."
Jordan said. "It is always satisfying to see so much of the work exhibited at once. The work gives faculty a good view of the development of the students over the course of their study. In addition, I look especially forward to meeting the families of the students involved in the exhibition, and other visitors."
A map of the open studios can be found on the third floor of Chalmers hall.

Nolan Gasser, the chief musicologist for Pandora radio, sits at a piano. Gasser will hold a discussion in Kansas City, Mo., during Middle of the Man fest.
Q&A with chief musicologist for Pandora Radio
► OMAR SANCHEZ
@OhMySanchez
A renowned music composer and chief musicologist for Pandora Radio Nolan Gasser has recently been raising awareness on the power of music and the potential for further research.
Gasser has made appearances on ESPN's FiveThirtyEight series "The Collectors," along with a TEDx talk that delves into the benefits of knowing why we connect so much to music.
On Tuesday, Gasser will continue to engage in this discourse when he comes from his home in Sonoma County, California to speak at the Kansas City Public Library on the topics he's devoted his life to.
Gasser's appearance is part of the this year's "Ideas" lineup during the Middle of the Map Fest, a Kansas City festival that features a week-long tribute to art in a multitude of avenues.
Before stopping by, Gas-
ser spoke to the Kansan about why one grows to liking specific types of music, how the knowledge of music can be therapeutic and his thoughts on why our culture has such an attachment to artists such as the late pop sensation, Prince.
University Daily Kan-
san: Would it be safe to say that what you're doing with music right now is almost in the echelon of the Human Genome Project with genetics or Charles Darwin with evolution? You're structuring something that people normally didn't think could be organized.
Nolan Gasser: Well it's kind of you to make such lofty comparisons. There's no doubt that there is some kinship.
When Pandora first started back around 2000, it wasn't called Pandora, it was called Savage Beast Technologies. And of course this was an era before iTunes, and we really thought that we were going to license the technology of
the Music Genome Project rather than offer it directly to consumers as Pandora does today. The Musie Genome Project was come up within part, as an actual model for how the original founders thought we would construct this way of being able to make smart recommendations.
But certainly when I came on board right at the beginning, I actually took that metaphor very seriously. I sort of did my own research into the actual Human Genome Project, genetics, species organizations, genotypes and phenotypes and things like that. And it really gave me I think a good platform and framework in which to work.
It's clearly a metaphor. We're not turning music genres into biological species. But what it enabled me to do was to look at these large scale music genres like pop and rock or jazz or classical or world and think about them almost as if they were a species. *
So, if we could devise
what those individual genes were, it would allow us not only to get a snapshot of what those songs and works were as a whole, but then make these smart recommendations and actual comparisons.
UDK: While you've been going around spreading the word about your work, why do you think it's important for the audience to hear the extent of that work?
NG: I think there's a lot that we don't understand, especially the average person who's not musically trained. We kind of take it for granted, "Yeah, I love music." Well, so what?
So I think 'a talk like mine, I don't have all the answers, but to have that conversation — what are those fundamental elements that give rise to music's power in our lives — that can only be something that can be hopefully interesting.
Even more important, it can be sort of actionable. People can say "I can take more power in my music
listening and discovery and I can use music as a greater force of positivity and sustenance in my life than I maybe do." Hopefully to empower that natural drive to love music.
UDK: What gives you that urge to discover more about music?
NG: I once had a professor that I told him that I wanted to study Renaissance music and his answer was, "Well welcome to the bottomless pit." And that could be said about almost any genre, even more recent genres like electronica and hip-hop — there's no end to the level of depth that you can get.
There's a couple of small windows into that. One would be this sort of reverence we've had for Prince. One of the things that's been talked about is what a great musician he was. That may seem kind of casual, but I'm very attuned to how the media talks about musicians, and often times they talk much more about
the cultural aspect, or their lyrics or the quality of their voice.
As great as he was, there was a lot of things he didn't do, or areas he didn't touch — not to say that he couldn't had he put his energy there — but unless you're Bach maybe or Beethoven, you're only kind of scratching the surface of possibilities.
So for me, whether as a composer or as a music historian, as much time as I spend, I just keep getting reminded how little I know, and how much more there is and even if I had another 100 years to work on my book I still wouldn't say everything.
Nolan Gasser's discussion will start at 7:15 p.m. at the Plaza Branch of the Kansas City Public Library. Tickets are $25. More information is available at middleofthemapfest.com.

Diallo, Ellis and Selden invited to 2016 NBA Draft Combine
> SCOTT CHASEN
@SChasenKU
After a busy offseason, Kansas men's basketball could be without seven players from last year's team in the fall. With four players graduating and an additional three declaring for the NBA draft, the roster could be dramatically shaped.
The next step in the draft process came over the weekend, as ESPN's Jeff Goodman tweeted out a list of players who have been invited to the 2016 NBA Draft combine. Among that list were three Kansas players: freshman forward Cheiek Diallo, junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. and senior forward Perry Ellis.
Last year, the trio accounted for 40.3 percent of Kansas' scoring, recording 1,245 of a possible 3,089 points. Ellis and Selden finished as first and second on Kansas, respectively, in points per game.
Of the three, Diallo is the only one who has yet to sign with an agent, meaning he can return to the University if he decides by May 25 — 10 days after the 2016 NBA Draft Combine concludes.
KANSAS 20
While Goodman tweeted his list is not yet complete—with the names of 62 of 70 invited prospects—the most notable Kansas snub from the combine appears to be junior guard Brannen Greene, who announced his intentions to declare for the draft and sign with an agent back on March 30.
Goodman tweeted on April 30 that Greene did not receive an invite to the combine.
["T'm] disappointed for Brannen, but he'll still have opportunities to get in camps and work out for teams," Kansas coach Bill Self told the Lawrence Journal-World.
Oubre was selected with the 15th pick in the draft by the Atlanta Hawks and was traded to the Washington Wizards shortly after. Alexander went undrafted but signed with the Portland Trail Blazers.
This year, the NBA Draft Combine will run in Chicago from May 11-15. Last year, Kansas had two participants in the combine: freshmen Kelly Oubre Jr. and Cliff Alexander.
Other Big 12 players to receive combine invites were Oklahoma guards Isaiah Cousins and Buddy Hield, Iowa State forward Georges Niang and Baylor forward Taurean Prince. According to the updated list by Goodman, Texas big man Prince Ibeh is one of 13 alternates.
The combine will be broadcast on ESPN2 and ESPNU.

Baseball clinches first Big 12 series win
Pitcher Jackson Goddard winds up for a throw in Sunday afternoon's 17-6 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners
Paige Stingley/KANSAN
► WESLEY DOTSON @WesleyDee23
Kansas baseball (19- 24-1, 5-9 Big 12) finally secured a Big 12 series victory over the weekend while hosting the Oklahoma Sooners (21-22-1, 7-11 Big 12) at Hoglund Ballpark.
The starter has become
Wins in the first two games of the series came by virtue of strong pitching, which helped create timely hitting—a formula the team has struggled to consistently produce for most of the season.
Krauth led the way for the Jayhawks, allowing two runs over six innings of work while striking out seven battens in a 7-2 victory.
Rain forced Friday's game to be moved to Saturday and set the stage for a doubleheader. Still, that did not slow down senior starter Ben Krauth (4-4), who continued to shut down opposing offenses.
a pitcher the team tends to lean on in series-opening games.
His dominating performance helped set the table for the team winning both games on Saturday.
In the second game of the doubleheader, sophomore starter Blake Weiman and sophomore reliever Tyler Davis struggled, allowing seven hits and seven earned runs over the first six innings.

which delivered.
The duo allowed only two hits and one run over the last three innings.
"We are obviously really shorthanded and I couldn't be more proud of our team," Price said after the game, according to a KU Athletics release. "And our bullpen was really short this game. I tip my cap to Kravetz. He came in and put up a huge zero for us in the ninth."
That allowed Kansas' offense to keep attacking. The Jayhawks had scored one run in the seventh to regain the lead, and another in the bottom of the ninth to win in walk-off fashion, 9-8.
However, that same formula did not continue into Sunday.
The Jayhawks could not muster much success in the series finale loss to the Sooners.
and walked nine batters in a 17-6 blowout loss. The game ended after seven innings due to the 10-run mercy rule in effect.
Kansas allowed 15 hits
"I'm going to have to sit down with [pitching coach] Ryan Graves tomorrow and figure out what adjustments, if any, we're going to make with our weekend rotation," Price said. "That's two Sundays in-conference now that we've [allowed at least 10 runs]."
While Krauth set the tone and Weiman was merely average in each of their respective starts, freshman starter Jackson Goddard experienced the most troubles of any Kansas pitcher over the weekend.
Goddard (2-4) allowed nine hits, six earned runs, walked three batters and wasn't able to make it out of the fourth inning.
The righty has struggled mightily in his first season. He has allowed 63 hits and 33 earned runs in just over 50 innings of work.
After the game, Price hinted at possibly removing Goddard from the rotation in preparation for Texas Tech next weekend.
Although Goddard has been effective in his four appearances out of the bullpen, he has struggled in the starting rotation.
"Goddard has been really good for us out of the bullpen," Price said. "And if I had another option, I'd do it, but we really have no other option as far as putting somebody in the starting spot, but I'm going to have to do something."
On the other side, Price's offense remained effective, producing 11 hits. The team also received a 3-for-3 performance, four RBIs and a walk from junior catcher Michael Tinsley.
"I thought we were good offensively," Price said. "In fact, I'm really pleased with how we played offensively."
The glaring difference in the game compared to the first two games was pitching. It continues to be up and down for Kansas, and it was noticeably down in the finale.
"Giving up so many three-run and four-run innings is alarming," Price said. "It's because of the number of guys we're walking and we're behind in the count. You throw a 3-1 fastball in this conference and you're going to get lit up."
Price added: "Unfortunately, it feels like every time we look up at the count. it's 3-1."
The bullpen—unlike game two on Saturday—wasn't able to stop the bleeding. Freshman reliever Blake Goldsberry, senior reliever Hayden Edwards and sophomore reliever Ryan Ralston allowed a combined five hits and 11 earned runs.
"It [comes down] to your bullpen," Price said. "When you go to the bullpen, the guy that comes in there has got to come in pounding the strike zone, and get you out of trouble, and minimize the damage. We weren't able to do that today."
Kansas will have the opportunity to rebound when it travels to face Minnesota for a two-game midweek set May 3-4. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. for Tuesday's opener, and the final will begin at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

De'Andre Mann Running Back
Following the draft, running back De'Andre Mann signed a contract with the Atlanta Falcons according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. The 5-foot-9 Miami native played two years with Kansas after transferring from Hartnell College.
Mann is more of a between-the-tackles type of runner and has the ability to withstand damage by opposing defenders. That type of strength will translate well to the next level. However, it's still a long shot that Mann makes a team.
In both seasons at Kansas, Mann finished second on the team in rushing yards. He ran for 399 yards as a junior and 387 as a senior. During his senior campaign, he averaged 5.1 yards per carry.
Taylor Cox Running Back
Running back Taylor Cox tweeted out he agreed to a deal with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
As a sixth-year senior, Cox ran for 231 yards on 79 carries. He plunged his way to two rushing touchdowns, the second most on the team. He had a late start to his senior campaign, playing in just eight games.
Cox's journey in a Kansas uniform was unlike any other. He sustained season ending injuries in both 2013 and 2014. At last in 2015, he was able to finish out his senior season.
Like Mann, Cox is also a bruiser type of back and prefers to run between the tackles. He was also used in blocking situations and has the ability to do that. It will be a tall task to make a team come fall, but his journey is proof to never count him out.
Ben Goodman Defensive End
On Sunday, defensive end Ben Goodman singed a free agent deal with the New York Jets according to the Lawrence Journal-World. The 6-foot-3 Texas native played four seasons with the Jayhawks. He was the anchor on the defensive side of the ball last season, serving as captain.
Goodman will be an asset as a pass rusher. He has the speed to get to the quarterback on the edge. It's still a long shot he makes the team, but Goodman will certainly make an impression come fall camp.
In his senior campaign, Goodman earned Honorable Mention All-Big 12 honors. He finished the year with 51 tackles including a team-high 9.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks. In two different games this past year, Goodman recorded a career high eight stops.
On Sunday, offensive lineman Larry Mazyck signed a free agent deal with the Houston Texans according to the Lawrence Journal-World.
Larry Mazyck Offensive Line
Mazyck started in just four games this past season, all at right tackle. He did see time in all 12 contests. Mazyck started in nine games during his junior campaign after spending his first two collegiate seasons with Iowa Western Community College.
However, it is his size that will tempt teams to take a chance on him despite his unimpressive resume. Mazyck towers over most at 6-feet-8 and weighs 335 pounds. Even if his skill set still needs developing, his size will be enough to compete for a roster spot.

After Chancellor vetoes bill, students plan to push for Multicultural Student Government
▶ LARA KORTE
@lara_korte
Faces were somber and comments tense in the Big 12 Room Wednesday night after leaders of Multicultural Student Government announced that the Student Senate proposal to fund and approve the group had been vetoed by Chancellor Bernadette Grav-Little.
At a second MSG forum Wednesday night, Katherine Rainey, a leader of the group, said the Chancellor sent out an email earlier that day explaining why she had vetoed the government.
In the email, Gray-Little said the MSG can not exist because of problems within the University Senate code.
"Current University Code does not allow the existence of multiple independent groups representing a constituent group (students, faculty or staff) within University Senate," the email read.
The Chancellor also
stated that conflict arises with representation on the Board of Regents. According to Kansas statute 743229, each regent university is allowed one student government representative at the state level.
In wrapping up the email, Gray-Little said she has her own personal reasons for vetoing the Multicultural Student Government.
"I believe that the independent student government proposed in the document sent to University Senate is not an optimal way to achieve the goals we have for diversity and inclusion at the university and, indeed, may lead to greater divisiveness." she wrote.
"We are going to continue to fight for this because we believe this is important. There are way too many
With the disapproval from the Chancellor, Rainey said the MSG will face problems, but it is not going to quit.
students and organizations that believe in this and that support this. We've gone through so many steps already where we're not going to let this go." Rainev said.
Rainey said the group has reached out to the Chancellor multiple times this year, but has not had any meeting with Gray-Little. She said they hope they can meet to discuss and reinstate funding for the MSG.
The group has been the center of many University conversations since it was approved by Student Senate on March 9, making it the first of its kind in the nation. Advocates said the purpose of the group is to center the needs of multicultural students that do not receive enough attention at the University.
"We do believe that if we continue to push for this and students continue to show that they support this and they want this and they need this, that we can get that resolved and continue to move through the channels," Rainey said.
I'm tired of people coming up with all sort of objections about code,about policies, to get in the way of doing things that are right."
Clarence Lange
co-chair of the DEI Advisory Group
Trinity Carpenter, a junior from Ottawa, Kan. and leader of the MSG, said she thinks the veto shows disregards for the needs of its students.
Last Friday, the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Group released their list of recommendations, which included recognition and support of the MSG as well as a critical review of student governance at the University.
"At this point I feel like the University has not taken the advice of their students or others," Carpenter said.
"The MSG campaign symbolizes a deep sense of alienation from the Student Senate among KU students of color; it also speaks to a general crisis in the functioning of student governance," the report read. "For many years, the KU Student Senate has been criticized for its exclusivity and Greek life-centeredness. Although power has shifted in rare instances, it generally has been retained by a small group of students, to the detriment of the larger student body."
At the forum Wednesday night, Clarence Lang, cochair of the DEI Advisory Group, said he thinks the decision to veto the MSG is "institutional racism" and that the Chancellor "fully recognizes" the inequalities in student governance at the University.
"This is not what you do at an institution, if you argue on the one hand that you value diversity, equity and inclusion, and speaking personally, I'm tired of people coming up with all sort of objections about code, about policies, to get in the way of doing things that are right," Lang said. "If there is a will to do things, we can find the way."
Rainey said the MSG will continue as planned by reaching out to students, receiving feedback and holding workshops in the summer. She said she hopes to continue to make MSG a vocal presence on campus, and that the group has no intentions of slowing down.
"We're going to fight for this until something happens," she said.
The Chancellor's office could not be reached for comment.

Moore Reading Room struggles to stay afloat
▶ SAMANTHA SEXTON
@sambiscuit
With KU Libraries recently losing access to a number of databases and journals, it is unsurprising to hear that one of the largest department reading rooms on campus, Moore Reading Room in Smith Hall, has barely been keeping afloat this past academic year. Since August, the reading room has been relying on a handful of dedicated students to keep its doors open. But that may not be enough, Daniel Stevenson, chair and professor of the Department of Religious Studies, said.
"The students who are working in the reading room are those that were previously trained by our former librarian and archivist who left before the fall semester," Stevenson said. "We don't have the resources to hire a new archivist and without a new archivist, we can't train new students to take over after our current volunteers have all graduated."
"There's no way to keep the doors open throughout the day." Stevenson said. "We've been lucky that the students we have now have had schedules that allow for them to keep it open most of the day, but there will be hours when they are all in class or at other extracurriculars."
Thankfully, Stevenson said, only one of the student workers will be graduating this May. But he said this will mean the room will be functioning at an even lower level.
He said current students do not have a set schedule, meaning the reading room hours vary and the students are not qualified to train other students.
Timothy Miller, a professor of religious studies, said the room is important not only because of what it brings to the community, but because of its history with the University as well.
"The Moore Reading Room has over a hundred years of collections of knowledge that you could not find in any other library; certainly not in any other library in Lawrence." he said.
"The school has budgeted for a full time librarian but we've not been allowed to find one," Miller said. "We have the necessary funds but we've been told that budget cuts will not allow for one."
Miller said that he does not know why there has been a freeze on the hiring of a new archivist, as finances are not the issue.
Stevenson said that he pleaded with the administration to have a new librarian appointed, but was told to wait given the University's financial issues.
"Nobody I've spoken.

Senior confronts campus gun policy with art intervention'

Miguel Calderon, a senior Fulbright student from Peru, is a familiar face on campus. His infectious, wide smile has greeted many students in the food court at the Underground, where he works part-time.
He has tried on a couple
of different hats throughout his undergraduate career, from computer science, to acting to film. Even though he came to the University to study engineering, he said it "just wasn't for me." He switched his major from computer science to visual arts.
"Art has a lot of social meaning for me," he said.
Most recently, this social meaning has prompted the senior to do what he calls an "art intervention" on the gun laws that allow open carry on campus and will be effective next year.
For four nights, he will shine projections of student's reactions on the

He started a Facebook and Twitter account called GunsNHawks one week ago. On both accounts he asks the University community to reply to questions about gun laws and how it will affect them. In the first two days, 15 people responded on Twitter and 10 people stopped to talk to him about the comments shone on the walls.
One question sent on the first night was, "How safe will you feel once guns are allowed on campus?"
In theory, his project is an attempt to stir conversation. In practice, the project is Calderon lugging around his laptop and a rented projector to shine tweets on the walls of campus buildings for four nights.
N
Throughout the event, he will share photos of the projections and replies on social media with the hashtag #GunsNHawks.
"I'm expecting someone coming and making me stop since I'm showing comments about a controversial topic," he said the first night of the project. "But I plan on doing it until they stop me."
His project started Monday and is slated to end Thursday. He started the art intervention at Daisy Hill and will end the performance at Anschutz library. Calderon said he is interested to see what others have to say and how they will react to this intervention.
This makes sense, he said, because to be an artist he has to touch on many different subjects. Art helps illuminate issues that affect the general public, he said. Benjamin Rosenthal, his instructor and assistant professor of expanded media at the University agrees.
Rosenthal met Calderon two years ago when he enrolled in his Fundamentals of Expanded Media course and has worked with him

since. Recently, Rosenthal took Calderon to Chicago — one of Calderon's dream cities — with him as a production assistant for a performance.
"[It] was an exciting evolution both in my interaction with him and in his transition from student to professional," Rosenthal said. "Miguel's work probes a range of issues that vary from personal to socially oriented."
When he first came to the University, he majored in computer science but grew bored. He says the field didn't click with him.

"It is cool because I feel like I'm part of something that is using art and that is helping people," Calderon said. "And I want to continue that."
He wanted to interact with more people and engage on a more personal level. His upbringing had a part to play in all of this. As a result of moving to and from different cities at a young age, he said he experienced a blend of cultures and aesthetics.
"Being raised in Madrid and in Lima - those are huge cities and they are noisy and a lot of people from different cultures and different backgrounds, I love that," he said. "I love the noise."
He added: "I love seeing that happen and I love that wherever I am there is something always interesting within walking distance. That's always in Lima and in Madrid."
Because Miguel's close with his mother, he is inspired by her warmth and openness with those around her, he said. For that reason, he wanted to work where he could help others, too.
This semester, Calderon is an intern at Van Go, a non-profit organization in Lawrence that employs at-risk youth from different high schools in the area. Calderon supervises teens who are painting a mural for the group's 20th anniversary. He said he'd like to continue this fusion of art and social and political issues.

Calderon is an inquisitive student. He's talkative in classes, eager to ask questions or ready to answer if called upon by a professor; he is definitely not shy.
But he said his sister holds a special place in his heart. She also keeps him motivated.
"[My mom] is easily the most important person in my life, without a doubt," Calderon said.
He was born in Madrid. When he was six, Calderon, his one-year-old sister and mother returned to Lima, Peru where his father worked. For his first six years, his mother, Rita Mejia, who was a nurse, raised him and his sister.
His mother's sisters also helped raise them since his father was away. He said they played a large part in showing him how to empathize.
Vicky Diaz-Camacho/KANSAN Visual art student Miguel Calderon, a senior from Peru, has begun an art intervention to spur conversation about the gun laws on campus.
She said he was a charismatic and caring child, particularly when his sister was born.
"Solíamos hacer todo juntos desde las compras hasta los paseos al campo," his mother said. Translated, this means: "We used to do everything together, from shopping to field trips."
"Since I [was] little, my brother has always been one of the most influential persons in my life," his 16-year-old sister Alejandra Calderon said. "He is my perfect example [for] what the life really means: An internal balance between your priorities, like job or study with your social life, in order to be happy despite the problems."
He said his love for the electricity of a big city spurs his interest to move to a big city after graduation. Right now, he's thinking about Chicago.

Despite the fact that the Department of Religious Studies has the necessary funds to hire a new archivist, those funds have come from donations from KU Endowment. This means that it would require a certified staff member to utilize the money, namely, an archivist.
The school has budgeted for a full time librarian, but we've not been allowed to find one."
Timothy Miller professor of religious studies
"It's a shame that we have all this money that we cannot touch because we don't have the proper staff," Stevenson said. "This money has come from donations from all over Kansas. The departments on campus are told to find sustainable funds outside of the campus, which is what we have. It's the funds from inside the campus that aren't allowing us to use them."
Stevenson said that there is a great deal that has not only been halted, but cut back from altogether because of this
budget cut.
"We can't order new books, we can't grow our collection and we can't go ahead with an electronic database initiative that was well underway before we lost our archivist," Stevenson said. "There's a professor here who has his students write on the histories of certain religious events or denominations in Kansas and each year those papers have been placed within our reading room for public use. Without a librarian, those papers cannot properly be filed and are now just being held onto until we can use them."
Miller said that no longer being able to acquire books or journals has definitely hurt both his research and his ability to teach.
Miller also said the stained glass windows make the reading room unique and that it is a treasure on campus that deserves to be preserved.
"The statue of Moses kneeling before the stained glass windows calls back to the Biblical story of Moses and the burning bush," Miller said. "We don't see it too

New on-campus parking changes will limit parking options for students next year
TANNER HASSELL
@thassell1Z
@thassell17
LOT NO. 90
Restricted Parking
8AM To 4PM M-F
Yellow
Permit Required
Next year, University students may find parking on campus to be more limited. KU Parking will eliminate 217 on-campus parking spots for next year, Donna Hultine, director of KU Parking and Transit, said.
Assistant Director of KU Parking and Transit Danny Kaiser said a lot is still up in the air, as the parking system is about to undergo some major changes.
Hultine said there were 6,279 yellow parking spaces available on both main and West Campus. Of the over 6,000 spots, 3,321 are located on main campus. Hultine said many of these spots will not be available for the fall 2016 semester, due to construction occurring throughout campus.
Lot 90 will undergo changes due to construction.
"We will lose 217 spaces in lot 72 to construction," Hultine said. "The parking situation will get a little more crowded with the construction. Not only will we lose yellow lot spots, but residential park at Jawhawk Towers and at Stauffer Place will also be affected by the Central District construction. We've already lost most of the Stauffer Place parking to construction this year, and Towers parking is down to 317."
Hultine said lot 90 by the Ambler Recreation Center, which is one of the more
Missy Minear/KANSAN
popular parking options for off-campus students, will likely become even more crowded with the construction.
"The preference seems to be lot 90. We have reports of students just circling and circling trying to find a spot. I'm afraid that might get a little worse with the changes going on." Hultine said.
Freshman Murphy Leinbach from Mission Hills said the parking situation on campus has been pretty rough during his first year at the University.
“It's hard to get a spot even after the restrieted times,” Leinbach said. “Sometimes it feels like it's almost impossible to get a spot.”
Students have spent up to 30 minutes looking for parking in lot 90, according to the KU Parking website.
Hultine said the parking designation system will change drastically for next school year in an attempt to alleviate some of parking woes students are experiencing.
"Parking will be assigned by areas for next year," Hultine said. "For example, lot 90 will be designated as its own area. Lots around the Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse will also be separate areas."
Hultine said students will be able to purchase a pass for these different areas until the areas are sold out.
"We'll set a certain num
ber of permits for each area. Once a lot is sold out that option will not be available." Hultine said. "We're doing this to try and combat the issues students have had with driving around looking for spots. We hope this system will help spread out parking a little bit for off-campus students."
Hultine said parking passes for on-campus students will be issued through a lottery system, as it has been for the last couple of
years.
On the other hand, off-campus freshman will only be able to park in Park and Ride lots on west campus.
"This year and the year prior we had to do residential parking through a lottery because of construction," Hultine said. "Everybody will be presented with a parking option, even if it's not right next to their residential hall."
"It certainly doesn't make
we happy that we have to do that. We've just lost so much parking, and we'll only lose more." Hultine said.
For students set on getting a parking pass next year, Hultine recommends looking into it during the summer.
"Parking passes are available on July 1 every year," Hultine said. "The rates for next year aren't set in stone at the moment, but an email will go out to the community before passes are available."
Kaiser said students in search of the cheapest option should look into the Park and Ride lots on West Campus.
For incoming students, Hultine said not bringing a car would be the easiest option.
"We have an excellent bus system. If you can make it work for you that is really your best option at this point," Hultine said.

Burbank: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Report recommendations require action, not 'conversation'
▶ JESSE BURBANK
@|Burbank1
ast week, the Diversity Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Advisory Group issued a report detailing its recommendations for making the University a more open and inclusive institution.
The report begins powerfully, asserting, "The lack of diversity, equity and inclusion at the University is not the result of a lack of information and knowledge
about existing concerns and grievances, or misperceptions on the part of students and personnel with grievances. Rather, the challenges stem from errors of commission and omission, and longstanding institutional inequities that have been documented previous to this group."
This report has already elicited many conversations about how to correct institutional injustice, bring more voices to the table and fix issues that have festered for decades. But it's important that we don't let "conversation" excuse the University from actually acting on these recommendations.
Dialogue, discourse, debate and conversation are all popular methods of exoneration. They allow us to pat ourselves on the back and be proud that we even dared to speak of such issues as
+ .
Conversation alone does nothing to solve the problem. It does nothing to address radically higher dropout rates among minority students, with only 50.4 percent of black freshmen entering in fall 2014 remaining here after three semesters, mentioned in the report. It cannot change the fact that less than 7 percent of full professors at the University are Hispanic or black.
institutional injustice, while at the same time taking no action on them. They allow these issues to slip silently below the surface once again, leaving them to fester for future years.
Conversation will not fix this.
Jonathan Kozol writes in his book "Savage Inequalities" of how difficult it is to change inequitable educational institutions through simple public discourse. He
remarks, "Even the most thorough exposition of the facts within the major organs of the press is neutralized too frequently by context and a predilection for the type of grayish language that denies the possibilities for indignations. Facts are cited. Editorials are written. Five years later, the same facts are cited again. There is no sense of moral urgency; and nothing changes."
"
Conversation
alone does nothing to solve the problem. It does nothing to address radically higher dropout rates among minority students."
This report must provide us with our own sense of moral urgency. The University can implement many of the report's recommendations quickly, like adding courses related to equity and inclusion to the KU CORE beyond Goal 4, or expanding hardship funds through Endowment for first-generation, low socioeconomic status students. Others are long-term goals to begin working toward now, like seeking out diverse faculty and targeting student needs.
The DEI report's recommendations cannot languish in conversation. This school year has been full of conversations about these issues. It's now time to act.

Gonzales: Fixing the epidemic of opioid addiction and abuse starts with education
PETROLEGISTIC RESEARCH
► RACHEL GONZALES
@Rachellnoel
Authorities investigating the death of music legend Prince found prescription opioid medication in the star's Minnesota home, where he was found unresponsive on April 21, according to CNN.
Although it is still early in the investigation, CNN reports that so far investigators have found no indication that Prince had a valid prescription for the medication. While it was confirmed that Prince was taking opioids, whether or not they directly caused his death is still undetermined. Regardless, Prince's tragic
death serves as a high-profile reminder of the dangers of pain killers and other opioid prescription drugs.
Many people, even some who are prescribed opioid medication, are unaware of how dangerously addictive opioids are. Without the right supervision and education, prescriptions for opioids may have adverse effects on a person's well-being. Addressing America's addiction to opioids must begin with education about the potential effects that come with even legally prescribed opioids.
Most opioid prescriptions are associated with treatment of chronic pain. Opioids are a form of narcotic pain medication which include OxyContin, Percocet, morphine and the illegal drug heroin. From 2000 to 2014, the rate of opioid overdose deaths increased by 200 percent, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2014, 61 percent of U.S. drug overdose deaths
involved opioids.
The rise has been attributed, in part, to the increase in prescriptions for opioid painkillers. Prince's death highlights the need to push doctors to prescribe less addictive and safer painkillers instead of proliferating the over-prescription of opioid medication.
It is no secret that opioid addiction has become an epidemic in the United States. The solution to this problem must begin at the source. Less overdoses will only result from more responsible dissemination and oversight of opioid prescriptions.
There is no reason not to mandate these new guidelines. This crisis doesn't discriminate.
Recently, the CDC issued new guidelines that call for doctors to try less addictive painkillers, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, before prescribing opioids to patients. The guidelines, which are not mandatory, recommend that opioids be prescribed mainly for short-term pain episodes of three to seven days.
"It touches everybody men and women, young and old, rich and poor; urban, suburban, and rural alike," President Barack Obama wrote about opioids in a statement published by the Omaha World-Herald.
We must address this epidemic like we would any other disease. This means implementing effective regulation, prevention and treatment. Implementing safer use of opioids will begin with education about the dangers of the drugs.
The Obama administration has recognized and begun to address this epidemic. Noting that more Americans now die from drug overdoses than those who die in car accidents, Obama explains opioid addiction is a problem that may very well hit close to home for far too many.
"This is a crisis that could touch any of us. These kids are our kids. These folks are our parents, our brothers
and sisters, our neighbors and friends" writes Obama. "We should treat them that way. We should take on this issue for their sake. If we do that, we'll not only help our loved ones but also help strengthen our families, our community and our country."
Americans need to open their eyes to the serious and pressing nature of opioid addiction and overdose in our country. Only by educating people about the problem will more people be motivated to fight for the solution. Prince's death was an undeniable tragedy, but we can make it even more meaningful by using the popularity of the music legend to propagate awareness of the dangers associated with opioids.

The eclectic, eight-part funk band Sharp 9
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@ByHardy
The guitar chord E7 Sharp 9, to many, encompasses the entire blues scale. But, in that single chord, there are fragments of several other genres - rock, jazz, funk and disco.
The chord was used by the Isley Brothers, then Jimi Hendrix — whom the chord has since been named for — and Pink Floyd, among others, to add some funk to a band's sound.
"It's a very funky voiced chord," said Joel Bonner, guitarist and vocalist for Sharp 9 who graduated from the University in 2014. "We're just a very eclectic group of all the subgenres that really sprouted out of the jazz, soul and blues movements in America, and funk is a huge one."
When Rayyan Kamal, the band's trumpeter, and Tim Clark, the band's keyboardist, started the band in 2012, the nine in the name was not supposed to dictate how many people were in the band. But more band members shuffled in than out, with Kamal and Clark heading the band.
The Lawrence-based band Sharp 9, with its oft-funk-driven sounds, which can jump off to smooth jazz instantaneously, then, is aptly named. The broadbased collection of the band's eight members make up one of the biggest and rangiest sounds of any band in Lawrence.
But behind those two, who started the band while attending the University, are six others to make up the group of eight current members: Bonner, drummer K.R. Azad, bass player Anthony Edmonson, saxophonist Leslie Butsch, and vocalists Nadia Imafidon and Nate Nickel.
"The dynamic of our group is different; it's a very nonjudgemental space and we're all very intentional about how we treat each other," Imafidon said. "Playing music with people changes your relationship entirely. It just makes you closer. You really become a family with these people because you're sharing a lot of vulnerable moments with them with your instrument or your voice."
That number of members alone has made the band unique, but it's also created a family-like dynamic which has spurned what appears like unhinged, free-flowing creativity and collaboration.
The huge sound from
those eight current members is what draws people into Sharp 9 at shows, which the band tries to play once a month. But with eight members, much of what the band does is just that: trial.
though, from solos to

When Bonner joined shortly after the band started in 2012, the band had about a dozen songs to rely upon. Now, with a hoist of stuff written mostly by Clark and Kamal, as well as some covers, the band has a setlist of about 25 songs. Some remain unwritten,
Nadia Imafidon vocalist
what Imafidon says is "improv."
And if it's not trial in music, it's trial in day-to-day functioning. With eight members, weekend rehearsals don't always work for everyone. Even more difficult has been setting up a time to record without interference.
To Bonner, the group's size is what makes it so dynamic, but it's also its biggest crux.
"The most consistent thing I ever hear after shows is, 'You guys are so cool, I had so much fun. Where can I buy a record?' And we have to break their hearts every time and tell them, 'We don't have anything yet,'" Bonner said. "It just hasn't been in the cards, for whatever reason."
But now, in a sense, the pressure is on. Not because people at shows have clamored for a record — though, that surely encourages the band — but because the clock may be winding down on the band.
Kamal plans to leave for medical school in Kansas City in July; Azzad plans to go to Kansas City as well. Clark also plans on leaving town soon.
For a band composed almost entirely of "townies"
— Kamal, Bonner, Edmonson,
Imafidon and Clark
went to high school together at Lawrence Free State it will be the separation between towns that will pull them apart.
That's something Ina-fidon is just beginning to realize as the band is slated to play its last shows this summer.
"It doesn't feel real; I'm pretty much in denial," Imafidon said. "It'll just be weird. These are all of my best friends now, and they've done so much for me — we've done so much for each other."
So, with a long setlist and family-like camaraderie, one thing is left on the table: recording songs. But it's not for fans — which the band has almost 500 of on its Facebook page — but for themselves to look back on and remember Sharp 9: the funky, all-encompassing eight-man (sometimes more, sometimes less) band.
"Our band is so weird; I don't even understand it," Imdidon said. "Logistically, we could record separately [...] but that's just not our vibe. We want to record together; we want to record live in the studio. We want to do everything together."

I'll try to be more faithful with the text. I see that it's a black and white image of a woman singing into a microphone, wearing glasses, and holding a phone in her hand. The background is decorated with light bulbs. The text at the bottom says "I'm so excited to share my music with you!"

I'll just stick to the text as it is.
Wait, the image has a bit of noise and some blur. I'll try to make it as clear as possible.
The leftmost person is playing a saxophone.
The middle person is playing a trumpet.
The rightmost person is playing a drum.
The background is indistinct but seems like a stage with lights.

ART IN FOCUS
Lopeeta Tawde, a graduate student from Mumbai, is working on her MFA in metals and jewelry.
Graduate student creates science-inspired jewelry
Caroline Fiss/KANSAN

@breeanuhh3
W hen Lopeeta Tawde was in high school,
What Tawde probably didn't know is that some years later her work in high school would inspire her to make unique silicon and metal jewelry pieces based on those microorganisms she saw in the microscope.
she loved science, but she also enjoyed drawing what she saw through the microscope: microscopic plants, cells and animals.
Now a graduate student studying metals and jewelry at the University, she grew up in Mumbai, and while she knew she had a love for science and a passion for art, she wasn't quite sure how to pursue it. So, she completed her undergraduate degree at Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy School of Art in Mumbai and earned a degree in metalworks.
Because she didn't meet the criteria for admittance to the University right away, she said she went to Oklahoma State University to build up her portfolio
and received a bachelor's
degree in metalsmithing and jewelry.
Tawde said one thing that brought her to the University was Gina Westergard, associate professor of metalsmithing and jewelry and associate chair of the Department of Visual Art. Tawde was familiar with her work and had seen it previously.
"Her work is very dynamic, and it's magical because it glows and has this movement to it," Westergard said. "It can be unpredictable, and you don't really know what to expect when you first look at it."
Tawde said originally she was more interested in fabricating something in the structure of a microorganism, but liked the concept of bio-organisms because they glow in the dark with a blacklight. All of her pieces glow in the dark and some of them contain motion-
Westergard said what she finds unique about Tawde's work is that instead of just being inspired by a creature or organism, she goes beyond that and captures the qualities of something that is living and mysterious.

sensors.
She said the process of creating a piece can take four hours to a week, and all of the pieces are wearable and include necklaces, rings and brooches.
"I want people to be curious what is in the piece and really feel all of the pieces because they are fun and whimsical," Tawde said. "They have this quality where you really want to pick it up and touch it."
"I'm attracted to someone who can make poetry out of the physical

said.

Ashley Koett takes a leap, Toni Bean's single and a new Monte Booker beat
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@ByHardy
This has been a semester with new Kanye West, Beyoncé, Rihanna and Kendrick Lamar albums four of the biggest music powerhouses in the United States right now.
Still, though, the lowkey music scene is alive and well. With spring in full swing, I've found myself listening to a lot of guitar and acoustic-driven tracks, but I found a good mix to include in the Lowkey Listens for May, from a jazz hit from Ashley Koett, to a bouncy hip-hop joint produced by Monte Booker.
It's all here.
Selfish (feat. Rodney Tenor) - Ashley Koett
I've always loved Ashley Koett; her voice, instrumentation and melodies have culminated to make some beautiful tracks early in her career. But here, with a verse from Brockhampton comrade Rodney Tenor and some production from Texas producer Reverse,
she takes a huge leap. For most of the song, especially the first verse, you can feel Koett's voice grooving and riding along with the jazzy instrumental. The transition to a smooth, dense verse from Tenor is executed well both instrumentally and vocally before Koett
finishes the track with more dazzling vocals. It's no surprise that Koett has continued to grow as an artist over the last few months, but the impeccable execution on this track shows that she has made more significant progress than I had even imagined.
2
16 - Toni Bean
I first learned of Toni, a rapper from Lexington, Ky., on some early Jakob Green tracks which are now defunct. And on those tracks, Toni stood out with his slick flow and confident bars.
Now, with his first solo effort, nothing is much different. Toni comes through with strong verses over a wispy, elusive beat from Nemesis Beats. Now, this track isn't perfect — it lacks
a strong hook presence, or much beyond what's on the surface, as far as lyrics go but it shows what Toni can do. He's got plenty of room, and time, to grow. This is the start.
WE DONT WANT UR LOVE — Dominic
3
Dominic uses a ton of autotune and voice distortion on this airy, atmospheric track, but it works quite well on what he calls an interlude. The production, especially in the first half, feels a bit lo-fi, which adds a bit to the songs distorted aesthetic. The beat changes over the last minute or so of the track,
which is what warrants the "interlude" name, as Dominic slows down the beat dramatically to get an even more space feel.
4
Switzerland - Soccer Mommy
It tend to gravitate toward bedroom-recorded tracks when it comes to acoustic songs on SoundCloud, just because they feel raw and embedded with real emotion. That's the reason this
track from Soccer Mommy just gripped me. She strings a single beautiful guitar melody through most of the song under somber vocals and the occasional simple kick drum. With those vocals, Soccer Mommy talks about the importance of a single person and that person growing up alongside her; it's a warm, simple sentiment.
Menu - Smino
5
I can't get enough of Monte Booker's light-hearted, energetic production. It steals the show on this Smino track like it has on so many tracks I've written about. Now, that's not to undermine Smino, a
St. Louis rapper who has been gaining some traction on SoundCloud; he mixes his raps with the perfect amount of R&B to fit just perfectly on this Booker beat. But Booker executes the ups and downs incredibly well, and the digital-like soundscape pairs perfectly with Smino's playful lyricism. It's good to see Booker continuing to gain some credits — he certainly has captivated my attention.

Daily Debate
Did Laremy Tunsil drop too far in the NFL draft?
YES
The NFL draft has come and gone, but not without controversy. And, for the first time in recent memory, the drama surrounds an offensive tackle.
▶ MIKE MAICKE
@MJ_Maicke.
It's the ultimate position of anonymity. Typically, if you're an offensive tackle and a household name, you're known by fans for the copious amounts of crucial holding penalties, not for your outstanding play.
However, there's an exception to that rule this year. The name Laremny Tunsil is now known across the nation.
Offensive linemen are always going to be underappreciated despite good—and important—play.
But no, it's not for a pivotal block or an effective pre-snap audible at the line.
For those of you who avoid the NFL draft like the plague (I'm not blaming you by the way; it's a complete bore), Tunsil was a top draft prospect from Ole Miss who was expected to be taken very early, right around the top five.
But then came the event that would change his draft positioning and reputation forever.
bong through a gas mask moments before the beginning of the NFL draft. On top of that, Tunsil's Instagram was allegedly hacked, posting what appeared to be screen shots of text messages between Tunsil and an Ole Miss staff member, indicating that Tunsil was given financial benefits at Ole Miss.
Tunsil then dropped and dropped far, all the way to the Miami Dolphins with the 13th pick.
Now excuse the ferocity of my take, but the hypocrisy of these teams that passed on Tunsil and those who condemn him is truly appalling.
Are we really going to sit here and attempt to judge Tunsil like this? I know, I know, how dare a young man attempt to change his family's life and help his mother out with finances. What a complete crime.
That judgment is essentially coming from people of completely different backgrounds who have no idea what life is like for some of these athletes whose only escape is professional sports. Their only way to give their family hope for a better future comes with football or basketball.
you about competitive D-I sports (essentially targeting football and basketball):
Most consistently competitive programs either break NCAA rules, find ways to circumvent them or lean right up against them in one way or another in order to get the top players to their university.
"But, wait, my team..."
No, stop it. Your team does it too.
This isn't an attack on players or the coaches that do give out these benefits. Most of the time these benefits are helping a poor family low on their finances.
This is an attack on the horrible hypocrites who are backward in their expectations of these athletes — the same backward hypocrites that still, in today's age with recreational marijuana being legalized in multiple states, think that smoking pot and crippling drug addiction are the same thing.
I'm rooting for you, Tunsil; you had a rotten thing happen to you, and it's blown up by the takes of people who could never picture a situation like yours.
It's time for everyone to grow the hell up and get real, and I'm not talking to you, Laremy.
NO
EVAN RIGGS @EvanRiggsUDK
With the various incidents from players like Ray Rice, Greg Hardy and Johnny Manziel not to compare them other than in the existence of the incidents over the last year and a half, NFL teams are more wary of problems off the field than ever before.
Rest assured, Tunsil is far from the only player in the 2016 NFL draft who has smoked marijuana. Heck, it's possible this is a very common occurrence across the entire NFL.
The fact is that Tunsil already has a list of question marks thanks to
That was on full display last Thursday during the NFL draft.
That slide cost him around $7 million, according to reports from ESPN, and I have no problem with that. In fact, I think his slide was justified.
Just minutes before the draft, a video that appeared to show offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil smoking marijuana from a bong surfaced on his Twitter. Tunsil was expected to be a top five pick, but nobody was willing to take a chance on him until the Miami Dolphins, who held the 13th pick in the draft.
I have no issue with the Instagram photos that claim that he was asking his Ole Miss coaches for financial help for him and his mother, and I don't think any NFL team did either.
things other than football, and this was just the last straw.
But there are other incidents that should raise eyebrows.
Last December, Ole Miss defensive end Robert Nkemdiche fell from a fourth-story hotel window and was charged with possession of marijuana. Nkemdiche claimed that Tunsil was present during interviews related to the incident.
A week before the draft, Lindsey Miller — Tunsil's stepfather — filed a lawsuit against Tunsil and alleged a physical attack by Tunsil. Both men filed domestic violence charges against one another.
That incident had no impact on his fall in the draft and neither did accepting impermissible benefits in 2014. Improper benefits aren't a concern for an NFL team because they don't exist anywhere but the NCAA.
There are a lot of unanswered questions here, but I can't say I blame an NFL team for not wanting to inherit this situation.
The Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans were two teams that many
thought would take Tunsil, but they elected to go with Ronnie Stanley and Jack Conklin, two offensive tackles with fewer red flags.
In the NFL, if your talent outweighs your character issues, there will always be a team willing to take a chance on you.
Tunsil is definitely the most talented offensive tackle of those three. In fact, I would argue Tunsil has the talent to be a fantastic NFL player. When he was on the field at Ole Miss, he only allowed two sacks while playing against NFL-caliber defensive linemen every week in the SEC.
The problem was Stanley and Conklin are no slouches. They both have the potential to be very good NFL players with far less baggage off the field.

It would be a different situation if Tunsil had no incidents or character concerns prior to this video. But in this case, the video was the last straw.
In today's NFL, where all it takes is one poor decision by a player to create a PR nightmare, I probably wouldn't risk something as valuable as a top-10 pick on Tunsil either.
So I can't blame any of the 12 teams that passed on Tunsil for playing it safe.

Kansas tennis nabs spot in NCAA championships
▶ SCOTT CHASEN @SChosenKU
in the midst of one of the best seasons in program history, Kansas tennis notched another in a long line of accolades on Tuesday, making the NCAA Women's Tennis Championships for the first time in 17 years.
After being knocked out of the Big 12 tournament by Oklahoma State, Kansas finished the year at 17-7. The team finished 6-3 in conference play, earning them a spot in the postseason tournament.
"It is really exciting," senior Maria Jose Cardona said in a KU Athletics release. "This is the first time we've made it to the NCAA [championships] since I've been here, so it's
just amazing."
"This is
this is the first time we've made it to the NCAA [championships] since I've been here, so it's just amazing."
Maria Jose Cardona Senior
Currently ranked No. 33 in the latest ITA standings, Kansas will play its first tournament game against UC Santa Barbara. With 10 days between the selection show and the match, that leaves plenty of time for Kansas coach Todd Chapman to scout the opponent.
However, he mentioned a unique insight that may help Kansas in the long run.
"I know they're a quality team," Kansas coach Todd Chapman said of UC Santa Barbara in the release. "I know some teams who have played them this year, so I'll definitely be on the phone trying to get some notes on them."
That first match at the NCAA championships will take place May 13 at 12 p.m. It will be played in the Hellman Tennis Center in Berkeley, Calif. Should the team advance, it'll take on the winner of the match between California, the top overall seed in the tournament, and Texas Rio Grande Valley

"Evan wanted to win as badly as any kid I ever coached," Law said.
The Kansas kid
Some might assume Evan was granted a walkon spot at Kansas simply because of his last name. However, Self tells a different story.
Having known Evan for nearly a decade before he came to the University, Self developed a personal relationship with him and knew he fit the mold of someone who could make an impact, even if it wouldn't be during games.
"In this situation, I knew that I wanted Evan," Self said. "I thought he was a plenty good enough player to help us in practice [...] Certainly I knew he was the type of kid that we wanted in our program."
at the end of blowouts, Evan did play in the first half of games a couple times.
Most notably, in his freshman season, Kansas was struggling against Oregon State at Sprint Center. With two minutes left in the half and the game tied, Self sent the team's two point guards — Elijah Johnson and Naadir Tharpe — to the bench. Self had Evan handle the point guard duties for the rest of the period.
Evan held his own in his brief showing, as he did a few years later on Senior Day. Starting the game at the two-guard spot, he battled with Iowa State's Matt Thomas from the jump.
While appearing mostly
Even though Iowa State coach Steve Prohm later denied any emphasis to go right at Evan, it seemed like that was the gameplan. Thomas demanded the ball on the first few possessions
and took an ill-advised first shot against Evan after a host of dribble moves.
"It was really fun," Evan said. "The last four years definitely helped prepare me to hang with Matt Thomas, who's a great player. He hit a tough shot on me, but I thought I did alright."
Throughout his time at the University, Evan developed into a player that looked like he belonged on the court. With him in the game, the Jayhawks outscored a Cyclones team that was ranked in the top 25, earning a four-seed in the 2016 NCAA tournament.
However, even more than his development as a player, Self complimented Evan for the type of person he was over the last four years.
"He gets it. He's very bright. He knows how to
be a part of the team," Self said. "And [he's] obviously a fun loving and great personality guy."
Now that he's done playing for Kansas, Evan's eyes are on the future. He'll leave the University with a degree in sports management, leaving him open to a few different careers.
Perhaps a future in coaching could be in the cards; Danny was certainly open to the idea, saying he'd love for Evan to join his staff.
However, no matter where he goes, Evan feels there's one thing that will always define him, and it was his answer to the question: "Who is Evan Manning?"
"He's a Jayhawk," Evan said. "A Jayhawk for life."

The mark of a leader: With a difficult legacy to follow, Evan Manning carved his own path
SCOTT CHASEN
@SCHasenKU
Living up to a family name isn't always easy. Often times, the albatross of wanting to match those who came before can put a person in an impossible situation.
For senior guard Evan Manning, living up to what his father did on the court would be next to impossible. Danny Manning, his father, is the greatest living player in Kansas men's basketball history.
Danny ranks first all-time in points and rebounds at Kansas; he was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1988 NBA Draft after leading the team to an NCAA championship.
But Evan hasn't tried to be his father. He's done things his own way, being the best teammate he can be and working hard behind the scenes.
And even though they differ on the court, Danny and Evan share a relationship that embodies who they are as father and son.
"Everyone says, 'You're not
playing for your dad,' but really, I'm influenced by him so much," Evan said. "[it's] what he's taught me throughout the years. Seeing his picture just reminds me to stay the course."
Early in his life, that course took him all over the country. Danny played on seven different NBA franchises all before Evan turned 10.
Lawrence became home for the Manning family, but for Evan, signs always pointed to him coming to Kansas. As he prepared to enter college, even with Danny making a move to become the coach at Tulsa, the choice was simple.
Because of that, Evan never really had a home on the road. He bounced around from place to place, at least until Danny accepted a job at Kansas in 2003.
"Evan had some opportunities to go to some lower-level schools to probably have a more significant role," Danny said. "But he said he always wanted to be a Jayhawk, and that's what it came down to."
For Evan, there was never really one moment when he was hooked. He was raised by two parents who were Kansas alumni, let alone a father who was a Kansas legend.
However, he did remember one experience at a game that really showed him how special a place like Kansas could be.
"We had GameDay here. I had my dad's code and I snuck in and sat front row right behind Jay Billas." Evan said. "It was unbelievable."
A team-first mentality
You'd be hard pressed to find someone on Kansas with a negative thing to say about Evan. Coach Bill Self lauds his work ethic and attitude, and the message is pretty much universal across the board.
"Evan's always had a good personality," sophomore guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk said. "He always tries to help the young guys."
However, Evan isn't one to sing his own praises. He defers to his teammates and coaches on what his true impact is. Instead, he keeps his head down and gives his all every day without expecting any grand reward.
He's
He's not only one of the best leaders,but one of the best kids I ever coached"
Chuck Law Evan's coach at Free State
That's really the only way he's known to act. With a name like Manning across the back of his jersey, he has a unique respect and appreciation for what it takes to be a player at Kansas.
He certainly doesn't take the opportunity lightly.
"You have to go hard in practice out in the Fieldhouse because whenever you look up, you see all the names in the rafters," he said. "They've been here before; they've sacrificed so much for us [...] It's
built on them. You just have to respect it and play for them."
But long before he was a senior at Kansas, Evan exhibited those same qualities at the high school level.
Playing varsity basketball at Lawrence Free State for two seasons, he quickly commanded the respect of his teammates.
"He's not only one of the best leaders, but one of the best kids I ever coached," said Chuck Law, who coached Evan at Free State.
Like any true leader, Evan was at practice every single day; he played a big role on the court in wins, even setting the single-season steals record at the high school.
But even when his numbers weren't the flashiest, he was still out there on the floor conveying messages from his coach, picking guys up and playing the way his coach wanted him to.
Those traits were instilled in him at a young age.
"He's a great kid. He's a fun loving kid. He enjoys
life," Danny said. "But he understands when it's time to work."
Like in college, Evan's high school career didn't have a storybook ending. Law recalled the team falling to Olathe Northwest in Evan's final game, as he missed a shot at the buzzer that bounced up and off the rim.
But it was in moments like those Evan exhibited his true leadership quality. Law said right after the game he spoke with Evan about one subject that had little to do with the outcome and everything to do with Evan's personality: being courageous.
In defeat, Evan held himself accountable — maybe too accountable. But in a high pressure situation, it wasn't about the final result. It was that he had the confidence to step up and take the shot with the game on the line.

After a season on the bench, Jessica Washington is ready to make a difference as a Jayhawk
▶ SEAN COLLINS
@seanzie_3
The team transitioned from stretching to running around screens for midrange jump shots, with everyone getting dozens of shots in before the game.
The bass rumbled in Allen Fieldhouse as Drake and Future's "Scholarships" played over the powerful speakers. The Kansas Jayhawks on the baseline stretching their legs with the facilitation of the team managers.
"That was the toughest year of my life honestly, not just because I was sitting out but also because it was for something I love to do," Washington said. "I don't know anything different so I had to find myself and learn how to do what I love to do in a different way."
While Washington had some of the most NCAA experience on the team, she was sidelined all season because of her transfer from the University of North Carolina.
Except for junior Jessica Washington.
Watching from the bench, frustration came often for Washington.
This year, Kansas women's basketball coach Brandon Schneider took over a young team that struggled to catch its footing. Not having a savvy player such as Washington made it difficult.
Schneider was able to see Washington's frustrations but said he wasn't concerned about it affecting her future play.
"She had some surgery to clean some things up and we felt it was the right time so that she could be 100 percent," Schneider said. "Jessica's frustration was not being able to be on the court for a while, but anybody who is really competitive [and] doesn't have an avenue to fuel that fire will be frustrated."
Coming out of high school, Washington was heavily recruited by top schools in the nation, including Kansas and North Carolina.
Originally deciding on North Carolina, Washington was hopeful about becoming part of a dominant team with her teammates from the international team.
ESPN had Washington as the No.2 prospect in the nation for her position and at No.14 overall.
Team USA and the transfer
"We had talked about
creating a 'fab five' group, so when that was falling into place it felt like the way it was supposed to go," Washington said. "At a young age you just don't look at a lot of the bigger picture."
While North Carolina didn't work out as planned for Washington, she was able to gain a lot of valuable skills both as a basketball player and a leader from her teammates, especially now-Tennessee guard Diamond DeShields.
Schneider was happy to successfully recruit a talented player such as Washington and not just because she has two full years left of eligibility.
"Diamond helped me through the trial process to actually make the team, and as a point guard you have to be vocal. At a younger age I didn't grasp that," she said.
Like Washington, DeShields transferred from North Carolina after her freshman year.
Washington's ability to shoot the ball as well as run
the offense will give Schneider the oppor-tun i-ty to change
Coming from a family of athletes, Washington became an elite basketball player from an early age. While many players and recruiting starting in high school, Washington knew that she would be able to play college ball since the seventh grade.
Starting early
"I felt like I really didn't have a choice because when I was born my parents were still in college and playing their sports," Washington said. "I played soccer and basketball growing up so it was all I knew and I love it."
"The offense will be different just because of the tempo. She is very fast, has great vision up the court and is willing to get rid of the ball early," Schneider said. "With her versatility she can play the point guard or off the ball."
Growing up in Tula, Okla., she lived in a competitive basketball environment both through her high
the game plan up.
as
school (Jenks High School) and AAU ball, which her dad coached.
All the basketball that Washington has played has led her to Kansas. Next season Washington will debut for the
Jayhawks as one of the oldest players on the team and Schneider is happy to have her on the team after the long transfer process.
"People make changes for a variety of reasons," Schneider said. "I'm glad that she thinks this is a really good fit so I am hoping that she will perform well in the classroom and help us win a lot of basketball games."

Letter from the editor's desk: 'Life is unpredictable. Run with it.'
▶ VICKY DIAZ-CAMACHO
@vickyd_c
Here's my story. I hope this helps someone who is worried about what will happen next. Most of us never know.
When I first set foot on a university campus it was new and unpredictable — and not much has changed. When I was 17, I had no clue what to do. I was fresh out of high school, had no idea what to major in and the thought of years of schoolwork was daunting. I was scared.
And now? I'm wrapping up some of the best years of my life as a University journalism student and editor-in-chief of the University Daily Kansan. My college dream came true.
Sure, I will graduate almost a decade after I left high school, but, this factoid prompts my first note of advice: Do not let your fear of being judged rule your life. Instead let your ambitions carry you.
Be bold and try new things. In my case, this meant watching foreign films for the first time at a dingy little cafe in West Texas or going to house shows in dimly lit basements in New Mexico. And, most profoundly, I fell in love at 18 years old.
But after four years of dead-end jobs, I decided it was time for something new. I enrolled and spent my first college years in New Mexico and became an arts editor, a photographer and took a liking to art history. In 2013 I got married and moved from Texas to
Kansas, away from home and everything I knew.
"Fitting in" was tough at first, but I had lots of practice. I plugged myself into a new world by dancing to James Brown in the streets of Kansas City, Mo. for First Friday's, or decimating my eardrums at an emo show at Records with Merritt or grabbing cookie dough ice cream at Sylas and Maddy's, where I am now a local. Here's my second note of advice: Explore. Say, "Hi" to that person next to you at the show, or in your COMS class or at the bookstore downtown and keep talking. They could be your next best friend. They might introduce you to a world where you discover what you love.
My world is my husband, my cat, The Kansan and now, my city. A year
ago I was a copy editor. Throughout that year, I met like-minded, fervent people who supported me and believed in me in and outside of work. Beyond that, I found friends. I belong to a community, (you know who you are). Imagine what you can do in your next two to three years. Don't be ruled by fear. Find your troop. Explore and let your ambitions carry you.
There's no shortcut. If you take new routes, you're going to notice the refreshing subtleties. Life can be unpredictable but let it happen. For us seniors, our first steps into the real world will be through the Campanile on graduation day. Thank you to those who've joined me on the path that I've chosen this far.
With that, I bid KU adieu.

This year, the Kansan had 29 print issues and about 19 special sections. News coverage ranged from Town Hall meetings, to parking and MSG forums and presidential candidates visiting Lawrence and Kansas City. Here is a recap of news from the past year:
Diversity and Inclusion:
On Nov. 11, 2015, over 500 University students, faculty and staff gathered
in Woodruff Auditorium overflowing into the Big 12 Room of the Student Union for a Town Hall meeting about race, respect and responsibility. At the meeting, Kynnedi Grant, a junior
from St. Louis and student activist, said she and her friends were attacked at a party. She said a gun was pulled on her. This meeting was the first time student group Rock Chalk Invisible
Hawk spoke out and presented 15 demands to make the University more diverse and inclusive.
The following weeks and months saw numerous schools hosting town hall
discussions on race, the call for School of Social Welfare Dean Paul Smokowski to resign and his eventual resignation.
On March 9. Student Senate approved the
first-ever Multicultural Student Government in the nation, but it was vetoed by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little on May 4, group leader Katherine Rainey said.

Kansas defeated West Virginia 81-71 to become the Big 12 Tournament Champions.
CHRISTIAN HARDY @ByHardy
Just like most years, Kansas athletics had plenty of success in the 2015-16 school year. But over the last two semesters, many of those successes have come not from headliner sports, but from non-revenue sports making big strides.
Along with Kansas basketball's run to the Elite 8, there were five other teams who made runs in their postseason play. For many teams, this year was the most memorable of the last several decades.
Volleyball makes history, advances to Final Four.
Unprecedented: it was a word constantly muttered, talked about, and yelled by the Kansas volleyball team.
And the Jayhawks' season was exactly that.
The Jayhawks won 19 straight matches to start the year, a team record for consecutive wins, before falling to Texas in conference play. But where Kansas shined was in the NCAA Tournament. Kansas hosted the first two rounds, sweeping Furman and Missouri to advance to the Sweet 16, where the real challenges began.
There, they defeated Loyola Marymount in four sets. But the next win, a five-set victory over No. 2 USC where the Jayhawks went on a 6-0 run to comeback and win the match, was where the Jayhawks cemented their legacy.
The win in the team's first ever Elite 8 matchup gave the Jayhawks their
first Final Four appearance in program history. There, the first-time accomplishments ended: the Nebraska Cornhuskers ended the Jayhawks' unprecedented run with a four-set win in Omaha. Nebraska. Still, it was one of the most memorable runs in recent Kansas athletic's history, and a huge stride for women's sports at Kansas.
Kansas men's basketball reaches Elite 8
The 2015-16 season brought four championships for coach Bill Self's Jayhawks. It started with the gold medal at the World University Games in July of 2015; with 'USA' stitched across their crimson and blue jerseys, the Jayhawks won eight straight games to win the gold medal, including a double overtime win over Germany to win the championship.
Then the build-up to the Jayhawks' run at their 12th straight Big 12 title ramped up with 14 straight wins after a loss to Michigan State early in the season. Within those 14 was a 3-0 run at the Maui Invitational to win their second title.
After some stumbling in the middle of the year, the Jayhawks won 14 straight games, marching into the tournament as the the Big 12 regular season and post-season champion and the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament.
Through the tournament, the Jayhawks were the favorites to win, steamrolling their way through the first three games of the tournament. But the run
stopped in the Elite 8, when Villanova clamped down on Kansas senior Perry Ellis in what would be his last game of his storied Jayhawk career.
Kansas football goes winless
The first season at the helm of Kansas football couldn't have been more difficult for David Beaty. With a lack of depth, scholarship players, and immense youth on both sides of the ball, Kansas supporters knew Beaty, in his first year as head coach of a college football program, would struggle. But few saw a winless season coming.
The Jayhawks struggled on both sides of the ball in 2015. Beaty shuffled through four starting quarterbacks, including Michael Cummings, who tore his ACL in the spring game, as the offense finished 114 out of 127 teams in total offense.
Clint Bowen's defense had it worse, though: with a secondary with almost nothing but freshman or first-time players, the Jayhawks finished dead last in the NCAA in total defense, allowing 560.8 yards per game.
It all led to an 0-12 season, the second time in Kansas football history. But the struggles have prompted changes, including Beaty taking over play-calling duties and tweaks on both the offensive and defensive side, which the team hopes will lead to more success in 2016.
Kawinpakorn excels in senior season
There may never be another golfer like Yupaporn Kawinpakorn to come through Kansas again. This year, Kawinpakorn, a senior from Samutpakan, Thailand, won five individual titles after winning just one in her first three years at Kansas. The five wins are a Kansas record, but that was only the start of what Kawinpakorn accomplished in her final year as a Jayhawk.
She broke the team's 54-hole score record several times, finishing the regular season with a 209 at the Red Raider Invitational before finishing tied for fifth at the Big 12 Women's Golf Championship. Before heading to the NCAA Regionals this week, Kawinpakorn was named to the All-Big 12 team for the second time in her four-year career at Kansas.
Most impressively, Kawinpakorn has broken Kansas' single-season stroke average record every year since she's been at Kansas, and is expected to do it again if she stays on pace at the NCAA tournaments to finish the year.
Kansas tennis earns berth NCAA Tournament
For the first time since 1999, the Kansas tennis team advanced to the NCAA tournament this year. And for coach Todd Chapman, this may be just the start of his postseason opportunities.
The Jayhawks finished in a tie for second place in the Big 12, but did it with three freshman in its top six: Nina Khmelnitckaia, Janet Koch, and Anastasiya Rychagova. With those three, along with senior Maria Jose Cardona, the Jayhawks went 17-7 and finished No. 33 in the ITA standings.KU

A Lawrence staple, Pizza Shuttle keeps things basic. From their walk-in specials that cost as little as $5 and sodas that run under a dollar, this pizza shop delivers until 3 a.m. on the weekends. Just be sure to bring cash, because Pizza Shuttle doesn't accept cards.
Pizza Shuttle (1601 W. 23rd St.)
Munchers Bakery (925 Iowa St.)
Another Lawrence staple, Munchers makes a cream cheese doughnut that should be a rite of passage for University students. Even better, Munchers is open 24 hours. Munchers is'a must for any late night doughnut run.
Pickleman's (818 Massachusetts St.)
A sandwich shop that also offers salads and pizzas, Pickleman's is open until 3 a.m. every night.
The Burger Stand (803 Massachusetts St.)
For one of the best burgers and most fun dining experiences in Lawrence, visit the Burger Stand. Give the counter any name and your burger will be called out exactly as you asked. It's open until 1 a.m. stop by in the evening for a packed house or come in during the wee hours of the morning for some late night grub.

How to create your perfect, personal study spot at home
▶ ANISSA FRITZ
@anissafritzz
Due to the ever-increasing popularity of the University libraries and study rooms, many students have turned to their apartment desks for productive studying time. This way, they avoid noise and distractions and can avoid the trek to the library, especially in harsh weather conditions.
Rachel Rauch, a senior from Fort Worth, Texas, said that she prefers her make-shift desk, which is actually a TV tray and a
chair, compared to the libraries on campus.
"I just like to be alone," Rauch said. "I can have noise distraction, but not movement distraction. If I see someone walking I'm just like, 'Where are you going?'"
Finding a seat, setting up, chatting with people you know and then finally focusing on your textbook can be a long and time-consuming process that many students find a hassle.
Many University students have found that their apartments or dorms are a
much quieter, more comfortable and easier to access a place than the library. Here are a few tips on how to make your home the best place to study:
1. Pick a secluded spot, a spot with minimum distractions.
2. Make the space your own. Decorate it with things that you like to make your space one that you want to be in. Many students do this with pictures of friends or family back home. But, remember step one. You want it to feel homey and comfortable, but too many decorations can be distracting.
3. Give yourself adequate lighting. Make sure you can see what you're doing.
4. Lastly, give yourself a comfortable chair to sit in. You're going to be sitting there for a while, so it might as well be comfortable.
Cramped libraries and bad weather shouldn't stop students from studying to achieve academic success.Instead, revamp your at-home desk into a great study space to help you achieve great grades.

Jackson: Trying to find a way to say goodbye to a memorable chapter
SHANE JACKSON @jacksonshane3
Did I miss the class where they prepared us for this moment? Was there a moment in Kansan training when I dozed off and someone outlined how to do this?
How to say goodbye.
Because I have just been staring at my computer for hours thinking about how to do this. I have typed and deleted the start of this count less times. For a person who plans to write for a living, I am certainly struggling to find the right words.
Nothing I say will do justice to my time at the Kansan. It's what has become the most important thing to me in my collegiate career.
Let me tell you the story of how the Kansan changed my life. The Kansan is absolutely the reason I am where I am today. Everything that has come my way has been a testament to how spectacular this organization is.
But I'm going to give it a shot by doing what I have done for the last five semesters — telling a story.
In a few days I will be heading up to Cleveland to cover the Cleveland Indians as an associate reporter for MLB.com. Anybody who knows me knows this is a dream come true for me.
And I credit this opportunity to the Kansan.
It is true that the J-School is fantastic. But nearly everything I have learned over the last few years has come during my time with the UDK. I learned the challenge of turning in a gamer immediately following the buzzer, which was most notably tested during a triple-overtime thriller against Oklahoma.
My time with the Kansan taught me that if I needed a slam-dunk quote to go to Landen Lucas or Ben Heeney. It taught me the importance of having a good relationship with the SIDs and understanding how hard their job is.
It blessed me with the opportunity to cover a baseball team that made the regional in Louisville in my first semester, and trip to Louisville in my final semester, covering a basketball team that fell
in the Elite Eight.
Truth be told, though,
I won't remember any of that when I look back years from now on my time with the Kansan.
I won't remember the final score of Kansas vs. Oklahoma or how many points Wayne Selden Jr. had against Kentucky.
It also taught me that not every season will be a success. I covered just two wins by the football team in two seasons (I actually missed the victory against Iowa State). But covering the hardships of that team was just as important, if not more, as covering another Big 12 championship by the basketball team.
Instead, I will remember the people that I have met and the stories I have locked up in the memory bank for an eternity.
I have made several lifelong friendships because of the Kansan, perhaps none greater than with my sports editor Scott Chasen, whom I had the luxury of working closely with the last three semesters.
I will remember fondly playing over 100 rock-paper-scissors games with him in the
newsroom while we waited for stories to come in. I will remember our conversations during a nine-hour road trip to Chicago to cover the Champions Classic.
And I will remember staring at a blank screen after the Elite Eight, even though I assured Scott earlier that day I would be ready for whatever happens. The realization that it was my final game had finally hit me.
But the reality is it doesn't really matter. Next year there will be another byline during the NCAA tournament and you the readers will still get stellar — nay, better — coverage.
As for me, I will continue writing and the foundation of my reporting comes from my time with the Kansan.
So maybe this is goodbye, but this is not the end of the story. If anything it's the end of memorable chapter, a chapter that will always have a special place in my heart.
But it's not the end.
In a way, it's like the story has only just begun.
But it's not the end.

Graduate student uses personal story to empower others
▶ LARA KORTE
@lara_korte
[Image of a person smiling against a blurred background with tree branches.]
Roze Brooks is the Graduate Assistant in the Student Involvement and Leadership Center for The Center of Sexuality and Gender Diversity. Brooks serves as co-founder for Spectrum KU and are a member of the Campus Wide Student Advisory Board.
Baxter Schanze/KANSAN
Roze Brooks, a second-year graduate student studying higher education, is graduating soon, and like many others on campus, they are worried about their post-commencement job search.
However, during their presentation "The Z is Not Silent," part of the Office of Multicultural Affairs' "Last Lecture" series on March 25. Brooks said their fears do not stem from, for instance, the recovering economy or interview skills, but a lack of personal acceptance in their field.
Speaking in front of about 25 people in the Kansas Union, Brooks recalled a class early this semester where one of their professors asked students to line up in order of stressed to least-stressed about the job search. Brooks said they placed themselves as far to the "stressed" side of the room as possible.
"I didn't know how to explain that for two years, I have felt like a case study, like a resource tool, for my cohorts."
They said when the professor asked the students to share their thoughts and feelings on their stress levels, Brooks refrained.
Roze Brooks graduate student
"Because I wasn't sure how to explain that my stress was not rooted in whether or not I can get a job, but my stress was rooted in if I want to dive into a career path or into a field that doesn't know
what the hell to do with me," Brooks said.
Brooks, originally from St. Louis, Mo., is the first knowingly and openly transgender person to graduate from the higher education administration program. During their talk, Brooks spoke on some of their time and experience at the University over the past two years, both as a student and as the graduate assistant in the Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity.
"I didn't know how to explain that for two years, I have felt like a case study, like a resource tool, for my cohorts," they said. "I have felt like a barometer for my classmates for where they stand in social justice issues, as though I am a line drawn in the sand, and if you feel what I'm saying, you're on one side and if you are sick of hearing me speak, you're on the other."
After completing undergraduate studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where they said they had a very positive experience, Brooks came to Kansas for graduate school with a "dire hope for direction," they said. Instead, Brooks said they found a climate of closed doors and hush conversations where their queerness was seen as a "generational nuance."
"I am currently in a place of unlearning," Brooks said. "Nearly two years of being conditioned to keep my head down, and my voice low."
"I am sure I made it sound like it has been a painful and challenging experience for me, but I have gained a deeper understanding of how I exist in the world, how I wish to exist in the world, and what work I need to do so those mean the same thing," Brooks said.
Yet, there have been silver linings to the cloud, Brooks said.
Murphy Maiden, a junior from Overland Park, said they appreciated Brooks' personal and it presented a "clear path" of how others in similar situations can navigate challenges.
"It allowed me to reflect on my own position and what that means in terms of what I want to do in the future, including Roze because we are close," Maiden said. "So really, this essentially was an invitation to analyze my own position, reflect on where I've been and determine where I want to go."
Cody Charles, associate director for Academic Enrichment Programs at the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said although he appreciates Brooks' willingness to share their personal insight, he thinks it is something that should not have to be required for change.
"It was invigorating and challenging, in the sense that, the level of vulnerability that someone has to give to move the needle as an educator—so all of these things that are personal, that you choose to share as educators to help move along the dialogue, and spark curiosi-
ty—is also a very challenging thing, because no one should be owed that." Charles said.
Brooks said their time at the University has evoked in them a need to be louder and to demand the space their students deserve. When they
leave in a few months, they said they hope they leave other students with a feeling of empowerment.
They have the same ability to talk to humans, and they have the same ability to get stuff done, to create spaces
to do the programs that I've done, that I'm not anything extraordinary, I just happen to be the one to say, 'Hey this is missing," Brooks said.

Musician collaborates with electronic music stars
▶ LARA KORTE
@lara_korte
It's not uncommon for amateur musicians to cover the chart-topping recording artists they look up to. Many people will post their covers on YouTube or SoundCloud hoping for some recognition. With any luck, they might garner the attention of their inspiration and be rewarded with a kind tweet or shoutout. If you're Andy Hodges, your favorite artists might drop by for a visit.
Colleen O'Toole/KANSAN Andy Hodges, a freshman from Manhattan, Kan., collaborated with The Chainsmokers and got to shoot a commercial with Samsung.
Hodges, a Manhattan, Kan. native, has been playing piano since he was in kindergarten, and has been producing and posting original content online for about two years. Most recently, he's been working with chart-topping recording artists. And he's only a freshman.
It all started last November, when Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall, the DJ duo known as The Chainsmokers, came to Lawrence for a concert, and surprised Hodges while he was working on his music.
The surprise visit was featured as part of a promotion by Samsung. Prior to the visit, Hodges said he had been in contact with the duo's producers, and thought he was only going to be featured in a commercial.
Hodges got to work with The Chainsmokers and said he was able to learn more about how they produce their chart-topping hits like "Roses."
"I got a call from Samsung saying they're shooting a commercial here for this video commercial series they're doing and they wanted me to be a part of it, and they said I'd be producing with The Chainsmokers, and I flipped out," Hodges said. "A month later they told me that that's not going to happen and then they surprised me, it all worked out. It was hilarious."
"They showed me some real technical aspects of the
Colleen O'Toole/KANSAN
song and how they created that, then they showed me some new stuff, like 'Closer' which is a song of theirs that's actually coming out next month.'Hodges said.
Hodges said the two artists gave him some pointers and helped set him up with new software to produce the music he's been posting online. Hodges does mostly piano covers and some original instrumental pieces, all of which he posts on his SoundCloud account. He works completely out of his dorm room, where his keyboard, computer and speaker system are set up underneath a lofted bunk bed.
"
"I'm like the lyricist. He's about the beat and the rhythm."
Anna Hamilton sophomore
Hodges may have gotten to work with The Chainsmokers in November, but that wasn't the last of it. In February, Hodges headed out to California, where he got to hang out on the set of a music video and get a first-hand look at how the DJing duo produces. The trip can now be seen featured in one of Samsung's commercials.
"They're just giving me advice on what I need to do to move on to the next level, and I'm taking that advice and capitalizing on it," Hodges said.
Aside from The Chainsmokers, Hodges says he draws inspiration from another very notable pop artist, Ed Sheeran. Hodges said he got the idea to layer sounds from the loop pedal Sheeran uses for his live shows. Although it's meant for guitars, Hodges bought the same pedal for his piano, and it allows him to build his tracks, adding different instruments through his keyboard.
Hodges said during the trip he was able to get some tips and pointers from The Chainsmokers on how to improve his music.
["Piano] just ranges so wide, you can cover bass and you can cover melody at the same time," Hodges said. "And I love the violin, I had a song in mind that features a violin. It's my second favorite instrument behind cello."
Just this past semester, Hodges began producing covers with another young musician, sophomore Anna Hamilton from Bucyrus. Hamilton said the two work well together by combining their different musical strengths.
"I'm like the lyricist," Hamilton said. "He's about the beat and the rhythm."
The two said they'll bounce song ideas off each other and share inspiration. They work so well together, in fact, they've recently written, recorded and released their own original song, "Empty Promises" on iTunes and Spotify in February.
Although Hodges did the music for the song, he said most of the writing was done by Hamilton.
"It's usually hearing something, because I'm very audible, but then a lot of times it'll be like a feeling that I get whenever I witness something either that's really messed up and I want to write about it or that's really inspiring," Hamilton said.
Hamilton said her inspiration for songwriting comes spontaneously.
"If I get a good deal, I'm going to sign it and go work in Los Angeles or whatever," Hodges said. "You can always go back to school, but
"She did 97 percent of it," Hodges said. "The only thing I did was there was a lyric I needed to change."
Right now, Hodges said he still wants to stay in school, and that while a degree is important to him, there are certain exceptions when it comes to the music industry.
you don't always have opportunities to sign with a good manager."
Hodges began his college experience studying biology and neuroscience, but is now thinking about transferring somewhere else for a degree in audio engineering and music production. Although the plan for now is to stay in school, Hodges said if an opportunity presents itself, he's going to have to "weigh the pros and cons."
"If I can do music, I'll do music," he said.

Mann's Motivation: His son's fight for survival
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
W while his teammates were set to take on Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., in November of 2014, Kansas running back De'Andre Mann was taking on his own challenge. It wasn't one based off wins or losses, but a matter of life or death.
After driving to a Topeka hospital, De'Andre would hold his newborn son, Alijah De'Andre Mann, in a single hand. Born two months and two weeks premature, Alijah weighed a mere two pounds as the effect of preeclampsia, a disease De'Andre's wife Olivia dealt with throughout her pregnancy.
Preeclampsia can prevent the placenta from receiving enough blood, causing the baby to be born very small. The disease isn't curable, but it can be managed if it's caught early. Luckily for Olivia, it was.
"I made it to Topeka in 45 minutes," De'Andre said. "I was so nervous for my wife and son driving back [to Topeka]. But she fought through and I got to see the birth of my son; that was really cool."
De'Andre spent the majority of his days in early August under the beating sun during the grind of fall camp. He studies the latest playbook, implemented by the new coaching staff, for hours. The running back meeting room almost became a second home.
After taking a battering at the hands of the Jayhawks' defense, he went home and taking on even more. From the moment he steps in the door, De'Andre has no chance to relax on the couch; nine-month-old Alijah makes sure of that.
"I let him just jump on me," De'Andre said. "He's a ball of energy. All he likes to do is eat, and then he wants to jump and play."
Although Alijah seems healthy now, the newest Jayhawk in the Mann family faced a barrage of medical issues last winter.
"I knew it was going to be a battle for them, so I just prayed," De'Andre said of his wife and son. "They both fought. It's been inspiring to me to see the development of my son. He's 21 pounds now."
De'Andre's other family - the Kansas running
backs — has been a part of Alijah's life as well. De'Andre constantly finds himself asking Reggie Mitchell, the running backs coach, for not only football advice but family advice as well.
Alijah has become accustomed to visits from Ke'aun Kinner, and Taylor Cox. Co-mined that Alijah was going to be an athlete — a much better one than Alijah's father.
"That boy loves to jump," Cox said. "He's going to be able to dunk by the time he is 12."
Kinner said that he had a soothing effect on Alijah.

"Usually when I'm over and I'm holding him, he's calm," Kinner said. "I do stuff to make him laugh. I've never seen him cry. Alijah is something else."
On the football field, De'Andre, was something else as well. He was the leader of the backfield in his senior campaign. He ran for 387 yards on 76 carries and had a touchdown as well. He was second on the team in rushing yards. It was eerily similar to his first ride with Kansas
In his first year with the Jayhawks after spending two years at Hartnell College, he came through with 85 carries for 399 yards - a 4.7 yards per carry average in nine games. De'Andre's veteran experience at the collegiate level led him to a leadership role in the running back meeting room throughout his career.
But perhaps the main reason for that had less to do with his ability on the field and more with his maturity off of it.
"I like how mature and
grown [De'Andre] is," Kinner said. "I like seeing how good he is with Alijah and that's inspiring."
That maturity came from struggle. During spring ball, De'Andre would only get an hour or two of sleep most nights between class, football and his new family.
"I look old now," De'Andre said, "but in the spring, I was looking really old."
Now the former Jayhawk has another challenge in front of him. This fall Mann will attempt to make a NFL team. After the conclusion of the 2016 NFL Draft he signed with the Atlanta Falcons. He was the first Jav Hawk to sign with a
professional team. However, since he wasn't drafted it is a long shot that he makes a professional team come next fall.
But then again the challenges of the upcoming season don't seem so intimidating for De'Andre. Not after everything that his son went through.
If at any point doubt seems to have crept into the back of his mind, however, all he needs to do is look up into the stands and see his two biggest fans watching him do what he loves best.

Nasseri: Group projects in KU setting fail to stimulate learning
▶ BROOK NASSERI
@enasseri32
As if good old-fashioned homework and tests weren't enough, college students have even more serious worries associated with many of their classes. Some call it the grade wicker; others, the soul destroyer. Regardless, students at all levels shudder at the thought of the horrendous group project.
In spite of general disdain of group projects, professors absolutely love to assign them. Group projects truly do have potential to be amazing learning experiences. A 1992 neurobiology study by Drs. Eric Kandel and Robert Hawkins shows how each person's brain architecture is shaped by their unique experiences, demonstrating that learning is intrinsically linked with individuality. In an environment such as a college classroom, where people have come from all walks of life, students have the potential to teach each other how they see the world.
As demonstrated by the 1951 Asch experiment,3/4 of people are willing to agree with the obviously incorrect answer when everyone else in a small group does."
Additionally, a 1984 study by Carl Benware and Edward Deci reveals students who learn new material with the goal to teach others are better
able to learn compared to students who learn simply to be examined.
There certainly are benefits to learning from one's peers in a group. However, group projects as typically assigned in college classrooms are far from the best way to accomplish this learning. First, teachers lack an understanding of how logistically challenging group presentations are.
Group projects can stifle creativity rather than encourage it. As demonstrated by the 1951 Asch experiment, 3/4 of people are willing to agree with the obviously incorrect answer when everyone else in a small group does. This tendency to conform means group projects are no guarantee that the group's final project reflects what every member of the group believes. Even in small groups, more vocal members can easily outvote their peers, and the final product a group turns in imperfectly represents every person's vision.
When grading a group project, professors lose the insight of individual students and can only look at what the group collectively agreed upon. Instructor perceptions of group projects are vastly different than that of their students in other ways as well. A 2003 survey of 69 university students conducted by Marilyn Ford and Jenny Morice, revealed a huge discrepancy between student and faculty perceptions of group assignments.
This is in part due to the fact that while 64 of the students reported having
Illustration by Jake Kaufmann problems with group assignments, less than 8 percent approached their lecturer with the problems. If instructors were clear that students can come to them with concerns, the experience of the group project would become more positive for everyone, as students would not need to suffer silently, and professors would be able to assign and grade projects more fairly.
+
Some professors might be interested in assigning group projects for reasons other than merely antagonizing their already-overworked students. In this case, they have a lot more work to do than simply assigning a project.
First, professors should clearly state their expectations for the project, setting students up for success at working efficiently as a team. Second, grading scales should be adjusted so that students are not depending on perpetually absent or irresponsible peers for their own scores. Finally, teachers should encourage their students to come to them with concerns.
But, take heart, fellow students. We can learn a lot from group projects as they are currently being assigned. For example, I've learned time and time again that sometimes it's easier to shut up and go along with what other people are saying—also, that trusting anyone ever is a bad idea and all people are terrible. These are valuable lessons that I'm sure will stick with me for the rest of my life.
