As the new University chancellor, Dr. Doug Girod wants to make the University a prime destination for students and faculty.
His appointment was announced in a special Board of Regents meeting on May 25 at the Lied Center, during which the Regents voted for the new chancellor.
"I'm deeply honored and privileged and humbled at this opportunity to lead this great institution," Girod said during his acceptance speech. "The work we do changes lives and improves our world in very meaningful ways."
Girod, the current vice chancellor for the University of Kansas Medical
Center, said he hopes to strengthen the University in several different areas.
"We will work to continue student recruitment, retention and graduation rates, we will focus on the overall student experience in our campuses," he said during the speech. "We'll strengthen our outreach across the entire state of Kansas and beyond."
State funding is one of the challenges he will face as head of the University, Girod said. He said his experience working with lawmakers during his time as head of the Medical Center will provide him with insights on how to better approach the legislature about university funding.

Jubilee Cafe closes for the summer for redesign

@darbyvanhoutan
After 23 years of almost non-stop service, the costfree, restaurant-style Jubilee Cafe has briefly closed its doors.
The cafe, run by the Center for Community Outreach (CCO), is a joint effort between individuals
around Lawrence as well as many University students volunteering their time.
Katie Phalen, University senior and executive director of CCO, said the CCO, must undergo a large revamping before the cafe can continue to serve meals to individuals in need. The Lawrence First United Methodist Church, where
the cafe is held, also needs to be redone.
"The church is looking into ways to redesign their leadership structure and the service model we've been using so that Jubilee can be more supported moving into the future," Phalen said.
Volunteers to serve the estimated 50 people who
walked into the doors of the church on Vermont Street every Tuesday and Friday morning have also been lacking, so coordinators will also look at ways to build a strong pool of volunteers.
church member Aileen Ball. It's for these reasons that the church created a team who will oversee the cafe's reopening.
The program is also in need of a consistent way of training new volunteers that will help it perform at its peak performance, said
"The team has already identified a need to provide additional leadership from First United Methodist Church, as well as a greater share of the volunteer power," Ball said. "We will also
need to design robust training for Jubilee Cafe volunteers and leaders."
Ball, who is head of the Jubilee Cafe redesign team, is focused on using the summer to implement new strategies that will help the cafe serve the community in

Editor's Note: This story is the third in a series of stories looking at the way concealed carry on campus will look once it goes into effect July 1.
Each new semester brings a new round of syllabuses,but this semester professors will include a new added section of information that addresses concealed
carry on campus. As the University prepares to shift to an environment where students are legally allowed to bring concealed handguns to class, this will be just one of many preparations.
In response to the arrival of concealed weapons on July 1 as a result of a 2013 state law, professors are taking steps to adjust their teaching style, class content, office hours or even seeking employment elsewhere.
Aerospace engineering professor Ron Barrett Gonzalez, president of the Kansas chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said this is because many faculty members are concerned that concealed carry will have a chilling effect in classrooms.

KBOR votes to change KU's weapons policy
BRANDON
CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
TOPEKA - The Board of Regents voted May 17 to take out a provision of the University's concealed carry policy that would have required gun carriers to keep bags containing their weapons in their possession at all times.
The University's policy, which will go into effect on July 1 in conjunction with a state law allowing concealed carry on campus, was originally passed last November and December with no amendments. The main function of the policy is to bring rules on college campuses in line with that of the state's law, which mandates that anyone over 21 years of age be allowed to carry a concealed weapon in any public building without security measures.

concealed carry would deter gun owners from bringing their weapons to campus. However, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, who testified at the May meeting, disagreed.
At a March hearing in the state legislature, legislators and others expressed concerns that the University's policy on
"I think it a very necessary change and I think it brings a lot of consistency to the policies."
Shane Bangerter Regent
"This is not a pretext to prevent gun-carrying, but rather one to ensure safety for our community," she said during the meeting.
In their final vote, after seeing the amended policy and discussing, the Regents voted 5-3 to change the policy.
The amended policy says that the responsibilities of carrying a gun on campus 'shall
include the obligation at all times to keep it secure and concealed from view when not in use for purposes provided by law." Previously, it had included language about keeping the weapon or bag containing the weapon on one's person.
During the discussion, the Regents discussed the University's compliance with the law and the need for consistency among all six Kansas universities.
"I think it a very necessary change and I think it brings a lot of consistency to the policies, so that what's allowed on one campus will be very similar to what's allowed on another for a person who wishes to carry," said Regent Shane Bangter.
"Our job as a board is to put guidelines to
Regent Dennis Mullin, who voted against the amended policy, said, since the University's original policy was compliant with the law, there was no reason to change it.
our universities and the law and to give them the freedom to come up with their plan, rather than putting one unified plan on the board." Mullin said.
Gray-Little said after the meeting that she still stands by the original
policy and is disappointed by the Regents' decision.
"Obviously, they're exercising what they see as their right and responsibility to approve or disapprove these policies," Gray-Little said. "We disagree that what
we wrote was inconsistent with state law, we think it's entirely consistent with state law."
The law allowed concealed carry on campus and the policy, as amended, will take effect July 1.
Legislature votes to block guns from KUMC, health facilities
ASSOCIATED
PRESS
The House approved the measure on a 91-33
Kansas legislators have given final approval to a bill aimed at keeping concealed guns out of state hospitals and other public health facilities.
A 2013 law requires public health facilities to allow concealed guns into their buildings starting in July unless the build-

ings have security such as metal detectors or guards.
The bill would grant a permanent exemption to state hospitals, other public hospitals, mental health centers, some nursing homes and the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The Medical Center has been fighting to exempt its facility for months, saying they would even put forth the money for adequate security measures if they did not get the extended exemption.
Brownback is a strong gun-rights supporter and
legislators weren't sure whether he would sign or veto the measure.
The same law that would have allowed concealed weapons in health care facilities will also allow concealed weapons on college campuses starting July 1 unless the legislature passes another law. An amendment exempting college campuses was proposed to be added to the bill passed Thursday during the Senate debate, but the vote failed.

Girod was named to the position following an eight-month search to replace Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, who will step down July 1 after eight years in the position. The Regents selected Girod from a list of recommendations made by a search committee, including student, staff, administrators and community members.

I think it's a good match. He has a great work ethic and really good appreciation for students, and faculty and staff."
David Dillon Chairman of search committee
"We wanted someone who would embrace the whole place, the whole university and the whole state, and I think he fits that really well," said David Dillon, chair of the search committee.
Dillon said he is thrilled by Girod's appointment because Girod's experience as vice chancellor gives him an appreciation for the University and its work with students, the state and research.
"I think it's a good match." Dillon said. "He has a great work ethic and really good appreciation for students, and faculty and staff."
Before becoming the vice chancellor of the Medical Center, Girod worked there as a faculty member since 1994, according to his biography on the Medical Center's website. Girod specializes in head and neck surgery, and previously served as a department head, associate dean and interim dean at the Medical Center. A veteran of the Navy Reserve, Girod previously worked at the Naval Medical Center in Oakland California.
KU'S NEWEST ADMINISTRATORS
In, May, the University announced five people who will take on new positions in the University's senior administration beginning this summer.
BUSINESS DEAN
L. Paige Fields, the current dean of the School of Business at Trinity University, will take over the University of Kansas' School of Business on July 1. The position has been vacant for almost a year since Neeli Bendapudi left the post to become provost.
SOCIAL WELFARE DEAN
Arizona State University's Michelle Carney, who currently serves as the director of social welfare there, will be moving to
Lawrence to take over as the dean of the School of Social Welfare. The previous dean resigned last summer following student complaints about his handling of diversity and equity issues.
VICE PROVOST FOR DIVERSITY AND EQUITY
After acting in the position for three months, Jennifer Hamer was named the permanent vice provost for diversity and equity. Previously, in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Hamer was the first associate dean
for diversity, equity and inclusion.
STUDENT HOUSING DIRECTOR
On July 17, Sarah Waters the director of residential life at Bowling Green University in Ohio, will take over as the director of the University of Kansas' Department of Student Housing. Waters a Leavenworth native will oversee the opening of a new residence hall and apartment complex in the next two years. She will take over for Diana Robertson, who is retiring after 11 years.
VICE PROVOST
FOR FACULTY
DEVELOPMENT
J. Christopher Brown of the University's environmental studies department will take on his first role working with the University at large as the vice provost for faculty development. Brown, a University alumnus, will take over for Mary Lee Hummert, who will return to a faculty role on July 1. Brown plans on using the results of the campus climate study in his new role, focusing on building belonging among faculty members at the University.

a sustainable way. According to Ball, these changes include better documenting volunteer training practices and enhancing the restaurant style experience that the cafe is known for.
"We are starting by identifying the ongoing challenges of Jubilee Cafe," Ball said. "Then defining what we believe a healthy, sustainable Jubilee Cafe would look like in the future."
The CCO and University are both a large part of the cafe's future, Phalen
said. The redesign team will continue to work with the CCO to reopen the cafe as soon as possible, though it is currently set to open in mid-August.
"Jubilee is such an important resource in our community, both as a source of food and of belonging for so many people," Phalen said. "Our organization is strongly committed to working to reopen Jubilee as soon as we can."
More than food and belonging for those who eat at the cafe, she added, the program provides an opportunity for University students to get involved in the Lawrence community.

Katie Phalen Executive director of CCO
"Jubilee Cafe has always been one of the CCO's more popular volunteer programs," Phalen said. "So closing its doors will take
away some of those volunteer opportunities from students."
During the estimated two months that Jubilee Cafe is scheduled to be closed, Phalen said, she hopes both volunteers and those in need of a hot meal know there are other options.
"To any clients of Jubilee Cafe who are looking for alternate food sources, we recommend visiting Just Food, Douglas County's major food bank, open five days a week." Phalen said.
The Just Food food bank is located on 1000 E 11th St.

Employment ratio for populations with and without disabilities
2015 data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics
People with disabilities
People without disabilities
Percent of population employed
Disability program helps prepare people for careers
Angie BALDELOMAR @AngleBaldelomar
For many people with intellectual and physical disabilities, finding competitive employment is one of the biggest challenges. In 2015, 17.5 percent of people with disabilities were employed, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, compared to 65 percent of people without a disability.
Of that number, many people have menial jobs meaning they are paid well below a living wage and work only a few hours a week.
The Family Employment Awareness Training (FEAT) was launched at the University in 2010 to help individuals with disabilities and their families gain meaningful employment after school. The program recently published a report that says the training workshops it offers have
been successful in increasing people with disabilities' jobs expectations.
Judith Gross, assistant research professor at the Beach Center of Disability and director of FEAT, said the program has been successful in making people and their families confident that they can get a meaningful and competitive employment.
"We have data that shows that we're increasing people's expectations and increasing their knowledge of resources, and overall participants feel that it has made a difference in their ability to address barriers that they encounter and how they use resources or how they seek out solutions to the problems they're encountering," she said.
The workshops help people with disabilities and their families understand the resources available. Gross said the complex array of services, such as state and federal funding and employment resources, and how these are used can be hard to understand not only for parents, but for educators and providers as well.
Families Together, a training and information center for parents of individuals with disabilities, is in charge of implementing the FEAT workshops across the state.
Tami Allen, Families Together program director in Garden City, said they bring in people working in the community to talk about their experiences and show how participants can achieve that. Part of the program includes follow-up calls.
"A lot of times, families get discouraged because of challenges they might encounter after leaving," she said. "So, one of the challenges for us is to provide a continued support for families once training is done."
Debra Patterson, a parent who participated in one of the workshops in Garden City, said even though the information provided in the workshop is good, sometimes it is not viable in rural areas in the state.
For Patterson, there are other factors that stop people with disabilities from getting a meaningful job in small towns in Kansas, such as limited public transportation, lack of staff and independent living centers.
"My problem is that when you come into the real world, when you try to work with outside agencies to make everything come together, it's not happening in southwest Kansas," she said.
Still, Gross said she thinks workshops have been successful in increasing not only people with disabilities' expectations but also their families' for
finding a competitive job.
"Part of the thing that makes it more successful, I think, than other types of programs is that we focus on families, the individual with disability and their support network," she said.
In bigger cities, such as Lawrence, different programs work to aid students' transition into employment. At the University, for example, the KU-Transition to Postsecondary Employment (KU-TPE) program has successfully completed its first year. This program aims to support students with intellectual disabilities, age 18 to 25, work toward a two-year certificate.
"They take a minimum of six credit hours each semester, as well as being involved in work experience both paid and unpaid, on and off campus, as well making social connections," Megan Heidrich, the KUTPE program coordinator,
said.
Heidrich said that starting this fall, students will be able to live on campus in one of the residence halls.
"It's great that we have the residential component now," she said. "It allows us to expand, and it allows students to make a lot of social connections and be a part of campus life."
The program was piloted with three students and, in the fall, the number of students will increase to 12. As the name states, the program focuses on helping students transition from school to obtaining competitive employment.
"Not only are we looking for employment upon graduation, but it would be competitive employment, meaning students that graduate are paid minimum wage or higher working for 20 hours a week or higher," she said.

Liston: Lawrence should commit to Paris climate agreement
RYAN LISTON
@iriston235
Standing on the balcony of my brother's apartment, I can overlook Lawrence. I can feel the wind, hear the birds and see the seemingly infinite amount of trees that have contributed to Lawrence's continued designation as a "Tree City USA" city.
But on June 1,
President Donald
Trump endangered the
environment, including
Lawrence's natural
beauty, by announcing that the United States will withdraw from the climate agreement made between 195 countries in Paris in 2015.
In response to Trump's ill-informed decision, cities, states and companies across the U.S. have declared their intentions to adhere to the Paris Agreement on climate change despite the federal government's impending withdrawal.
With such a staunchly conservative state
government, Kansas will almost certainly not pledge itself to the agreement. Lawrence however, is a uniquely liberal place, and the local government is likely more concerned about environmental issues. Mayor Leslie Soden should join the quest to save the environment from the Trump administration by committing Lawrence to the Paris climate agreement.
Although the significance of Lawrence's
commitment may pale in comparison to the commitment of New York City or former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg's decision to fund the Paris agreement with millions of dollars, protecting the environment from the devastation of climate change requires action on all levels of society. Lawrence can play an aiding role in combatting environmentally harmful practices and send a message to the state and
national governments that our community values environmental protections.
Anyone who enjoys fishing in the Kansas River, walking in the shade of the trees in any of the various parks around town or simply breathing clean air should be concerned by Trump's decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris agreement. The environment surrounds all of us, and our community should not stand by as the current
administration undoes progress to address the dangers of climate change. Hopefully, the U.S. will rejoin the agreement in the near future. Until then, and even beyond then, Lawrence ought to live up to the name "Tree City USA" by protecting the environment.
Ryan Liston is a junior from Lawrence studying journalism and political science.
Robertson said, shows the need for a community like this one.
"We've talked about it over the years but never had a sense that there was a particular interest or need yet.

Lenz: Kathy Griffin deserves backlash
my Griffin deserves backlash
▶ JARED LENZ
@jared_james11
Humer often is used as an escape from the seriousness of real issues we face in the world today. At their best, successful jokes can ease the pain from hardship or tragedy. At their worst, well, we all saw what happened when Kathy Griffin made the decision to tweet a photo of herself holding Donald Trump's bloody, severed head.
I am arguably one of the most lenient individuals in the world when it comes to whether a joke is appropriate or not. I am not here to tell people what they can or can't joke about. Griffin's attempt to make people laugh is different for a number of reasons.
First off, in order for something to be considered a joke, it has to be funny on some level. Or, at the very least, has potential to be funny. What is remotely humorous about our president's head being severed?
I may be going out on a limb here, but if your head is severed from your body, you are probably going to die. I think. I will get back to everyone on that.
Regardless of how you feel about Trump, do you actually want him to die because you disagree with him on different issues?
There is a vast distinction between making a joke in real time, i.e. live-tweeting your reaction to a real-world event, responding to a reporter at a press conference, etc. versus what Kathy Griffin did.
Griffin conceivably planned the whole thing out. One day, she decided she was going to make this attempt at humor, then organized the photo shoot, reviewed all the photos and still thought, "you know what, a picture of our president's bloody and severed head would truly be captivating and awesome."
This was not an instance where she said something she didn't mean in a heated moment or got her words tangled up. She had ample time to make the decision whether or not the tweet should be published.
Next, instead of putting out the fire, she poured gasoline on it.
Griffin, the same woman who publicly fantasized about murdering our president, held a press conference to announce that she is actually the victim in this situation.
"A sitting president of the United States and his grown children and the first lady are personally, I feel, trying to ruin my life forever," Griffin said in the press conference.
She continued by saying she was being bullied, and that she believes her career is now over.
Don't you just hate when people say you are being disrespectful for posing
with an ISIS-like photograph of the president's severed head?
I am going to be honest, I am at a loss for words on what to say. Is she actually being serious? The victim card has gotten really old.
In no way, shape or form is Griffin the victim here. She brought all of this hate upon herself. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from the repercussions that may stem from comments of poor taste.
In the press conference, Griffin stated she would never hurt a child. This is contradictory to what she said in an interview with Vulture magazine in 2016.
"I'm happy to deliver beat down to Donald Trump — and also to Barron," Griffin said in the interview with Vulture. "You know a lot of comics are going to go hard for Donald, my edge is that I'll go direct for Barron. I'm going to get in ahead of the game."
Her edge is to go after an 11-year-old boy? I am casting my ballot now, Kathy Griffin is heading to my Comedic Hall of Fame.
But, hey guys, maybe this was another one of her hilarious jokes.
Whether you're Trump's biggest critic or his biggest supporter, I think we all realized something. Trump is

TV Stock: Summer shows off to great start with 'Master of None,' 'Samurai Jack' and 'Twin Peaks'
FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DU FILM
CANNES
17-28 MAI 2017
Associated Press Producer Sabrina S. Sutherland, second left, Emily Stofle, director David Lynch actor Kyle MacLachlan, and Desiree Gruber, left, pose for photographers upon arrival at the screening of the TV show "Twin Peaks" at the 70th international film festival, Cannes, France, Thursday, May 25, 2017.
GUS HUNNINGHAKE @gushunninghake
Well, folks, it's time. My reprieve from the Stock couldn't be stifled for long, and luckily for all of us TV watchers, the content being released has yet to slow down in quality.
"MASTER OF NONE". TRENDING UP
Whenever a show as acclaimed as this one gets picked up for another season, my nerves almost always kick in. Shows, like films, almost never hold their value or improve upon what them made, especially if the narrative formula is unique or different, like "Master of None." With season two however, creators Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang took almost two years to create another season, indicating time and care were taken to ensure a story worth telling.
The series kicks right off of where season one left viewers, with Dev in Italy learning how to make pasta and trying to sort out personal life struggles.
His eventual move back to New York leads Dev on a path that opens up discussions about religion, Thanksgiving, first dates, working with all kinds of different people and falling in love with a woman who's already taken.
Ansari has honed in on his craft as a storyteller, once again delivering a batch of 10 short stories that all share small connections in one way or another. His ability to write season-long character arcs is unparalleled, and each episode delivers an emotionally resonant story that puts "Master of None" into a level of quality all its own.
"SAMURAI JACK:
TRENDING UP
Perhaps one of the finest examples of how well animation can deeply reflect human themes, "Samurai Jack" concluded its final season just a couple of weeks ago.
I last talked about this show after its premiere a couple of months back, and my surprise and awe with the season's track continued all the way to the series finale. Jack's adventure in the future devastated by Aku feels lived in and dirty, and every time the end looks obvious, various twists occur that keep viewers guessing. Jack is a truly lonely man, and each episode reflects the pain he endures while dredging through the hand he was dealt in life. New characters affect his view on the world, but the series' end still finds a way to tug at viewers' heart strings and lets us know that even
in good times, Jack will always find struggle, which feels oddly reflective of the world we live in now.
It's sad to see sucn a good show end, but on the flip side of that, it's good to see a show know its limits and end on as high of a note as possible.
Damn, I forgot how absolutely insane this series was. For those
"TWIN PEAKS."
TRENDING UP
who've never seen the original seasons of "Twin Peaks," I do highly recommend watching them before the new episodes. That said, don't go in expecting anything. Don't read up on the show, don't learn about characters — just go in blind. It's the only way to truly appreciate the genre-bending mystery series. Spoilers ahead.
Premiere episode "Part 1" reveals that Dale Cooper is still trapped in
the Black Lodge. His evil doppelganger is traveling through South Dakota, picking up Ray and Darya, associates of an unknown connection. Sam Colby is in New York, watching a glass box for unknown reasons and the Log Lady tells Deputy Chief Hawk that something relating to Cooper has gone missing.
If this sounds confusing, don't worry. I've seen the original seasons, and I'm no less lost than anyone else who
just read my attempted summary. That said, the show's continued mystical elements have returned in fine fashion. Creator David Lynch's direction is on point throughout the episode, the overarching mysteries of past seasons have come back in full swing and the series looks to continue being its weird, self-absorbed, auteurfocused self for its limited Showtime run.

Joseph Harrington, an English professor at the University, has been working on a project dedicated to his late mother, who passed away when he was 12, for about 15 years.
Harrington's first part of the project was released in 2011, titled "Things Come On (an amneoir)." The book is written as a biography of his mother, while also discussing the Watergate scandal. According
Harrington's mother, Elizabeth Peoples Harrington, died due to breast cancer in 1974, a time Harrington said he does not remember well. However, many would recognize the date Harrington's mother passed as the day President Richard Nixon resigned due to the Watergate Scandal.
to KU News, Watergate is how the passing of his mother sits in Harrington's memory.
"Things Come On" brought together a collection of materials that Harrington said either helped him better understand his mother or reminded him of her. Harrington also searched for materials created by his mother, as, according to Harrington, she worked as Albert Gore Sr.'s personal secretary.
"I went to the Gore archives at Middle Tennessee State University, the Tennessee State Library, and they had stuff that was typed by her, written by her," Harrington said.
While researching for and creating "Things Come On," Harrington said he decided to write the piece as a combination of a biography and elegy, a poem or song that is most often written to express praise for a lost loved one, coining the work as a "bioelegy."
The combined two offer a more personal take on a biography, taking a twist on the normally heavily academic point of view for biographies.
"I came up with the term 'bioelegy,' which is also like biology, which is a connection between family," Harrington said.
Much of Harrington's work follows the format of his coined "bioelege," including a previous book that focused on early 20th century poets like the late Wallace Stevens, author of "The Snow Man."
Harrington said that his bioelegy format resembles a collage of works, bringing together related materials that best remember the subject.
The University professor writes primarily non-fiction, but said he likes to tie in creative writing into his non-fiction writing.
"There's a whole field of creative writing called creative nonfiction," Harrington said.

"Within [that field] there's been the emergence of this form called lyric essay, which is essentially research based but it employs a variety of different storytelling techniques."
Harrington said he has not stopped working on his mother's "bioelege" since starting it 15 years ago, and will continue to tell her story to his best ability.

File photo/KANSAN Soony Saad of Sporting Kansas City eyes the ball during a matchup against the Houston Dynamo played at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas.
Thailand is not the first place one might think of when competitive soccer is brought into a conversation.
Typically, a person's mind will stray to the super-star-flooded leagues of Europe or the closer-to-home MLS. But for forward Soony Saad, his two years spent playing in the Thai Premier League served as a good opportunity to explore the Asian soccer community and build himself as a player.
File photo/KANSAN
Saad signed with Sporting Kansas City in 2011, then went on to play in 58 games, scoring eight goals.
After an offer from Thai Premier League club BEC Tero Sasana, Saad headed to Bangkok to explore Asian soccer.
In his first season in Thailand, Saad didn't play a single game for the Fire Dragons due to an injury, as they finished just two points clear of relegation. In 2016, Saad was loaned to newly-promoted club Pattava United.
events such as track and field which meant it included features such as a large track surrounding the field. This separated the field from the fans.
"They had a small stadium, kind of like an intimate atmosphere, similar to the U.K. probably, and it was nice, really nice," Saad said of Pattaya's stadium Nong Prue Stadium.
The stadium, which only held a little over 3,500 people, was also used for other
This was in contrast to BEC's Boonyachinda Stadium, which, to Saad, was not as intense or intimidating.
Although the league is not as well-known as MLS, Saad said he definitely thought the league represented different challenges.
"It's a bit more technical and I wouldn't say it's as physical. MLS is very physical, you have to be athletic to be involved," Saad said. "I would say you need that in the Thai Premier League, but it's a bit more ball-at-yourfeet and creating things."
The Thai Premier League certainly showed more similarities to many of Europe's biggest leagues, where quick thinking and quicker feet are required to make an impact in the game.
It was this kind of play

"It's great, it's good banter all the time," Saad said. "We hang out a lot — we watch Champions League together. We picked up where we left off, but he's grown the family by two — he's got a wife and kids, so I think we've both matured."
The connection can still be seen between the two players on the field and in the dressing room. The pair are locker-room neighbors and are constantly sharing jokes and messing around after the game.
"We feel that bringing Soony back at this time is a great fit for us," said Vermes at the start of the 2017 season. "There are certain aspects of his game that can really help in areas of the field where we need additional support. We are excited to see how his game has matured over the past two years."
When Saad returned to Sporting Kansas City, some murmurs could be heard regarding coach Peter Vermes' decision to bring back the striker to Kansas City.
After 15 games in 2017, he has logged 326 minutes on the field and scored three goals and with an assist.
Although a majority of
his appearances have come off the bench, Saad did get a start on Saturday afternoon against Minnesota United.
Sporting Kansas City was welcoming Minnesota to Children's Mercy Park for the first time in MLS history, having lost to the Looms at the TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on May 7.
Sporting Kansas City lost that game 2-0, but Saad and Kansas City got their revenge, as they defeated Minnesota 3-0.
"If a team beats us, it's
something we take personal. We want to go back and take revenge," Saad said. "We did a good job about that today. I think the score could have easily been a bit more if we put away some chances."
Saad could have had a goal himself in the 55th minute, firing a shot from 20 yards out that bounced off the underside of the crossbar.
Although the ball appeared to bounce over the line and back out, midfielder Jimmy Medranda made sure
"I guess it's unfortunate we can't go back and change it, but on the positive side of things, we got that second goal," Saad said. "That was important to give us a little bit of a cushion."

Saad's contract will run through the 2018 season. He also has an option to extend his contract through 2019.
But until then, Saad is just happy to be back playing in front of the crowd that first gave him a chance on the professional stage.

Marching Jayhawk Deva Freeman's bracelet, which she bought as a reminder of David Beaty's first Big 12 win, references a popular Twitter meme.
▶ WESLEY DOTSON
@WesDotsonUDK
It was the highlight of the season for Kansas football, it's become a commodity on Twitter and Marching Jayhawk Deva Freeman still wants you to remember it.
The highlight she doesn't want you to forget: Kansas defeated Texas 24-21 in overtime on Nov. 19.
"KU beat Texas in football," Freeman's bracelet reads on a tiny metal plaque. It's easy to see why it's so difficult to forget.
After the November game, Kansas coach David Beaty had his first Big 12 win, the field was stormed by students, extra security was needed and a field goal post was taken down.
Since, the Jayhawks' win over the Longhorns has been used as a running joke for many University students on Twitter.
Freeman, a baritone in the band, recently purchased a customized silver bracelet to remind herself, other Kansas fans - and even Texas fans - of the Jayhawks' improbable win that day.
"A lot of my friends in the KU marching band have told me how much they love it," Freeman said. "And a few Texas fans have come at me on Twitter saying that [Kansas] fans will never shut up about this win."
Well, Texas fans might be right about that.
Many fans are still jokingly talking about the game, with tweets and memes coming as recently as Monday.
Although the Jayhawks took a step forward in the 2016 season, they finished in last place in the Big 12
for the fifth time in the last six seasons.
However, from a 2-10 season with Beaty's first success since he came to Kansas, there came a silver lining: Kansas beat Texas in football.
She custom ordered the bracelet on Etsy, an online handmade goods store, where she typed in the five words. Although Twitter has kept the running joke alive for six months, Freeman now has her permanent reminder.

During his tenure which has been highlighted by the construction of Rock Chalk Park and the DeBruce Center, as well as renovations of Memorial Stadium, a contract extension given to Kansas Athletics director Sheahon Zenger by the program will see his contract run for another four seasons through June 2021.
Zenger signed the extension on May 28.
"I have really enjoyed sharing in the tremendous accomplishments so many of our teams have achieved over the past several years. Likewise, we are committed to doing everything we can to raise the level of success of every one of our teams."
"I'm very pleased that I will have the opportunity to continue to represent this great university and work alongside the outstanding coaches and student-athletes we have here at KU," Zenger said in a Kansas Athletics news release.
Zenger's base pay will increase from $619,000 to $700,000.

"Since Sheahon's arrival in Jan. 2011 Kansas Athletics has enjoyed success on and off the field," Gray-Little said in the release. "We've had a team win a national championship, two teams reach NCAA Final Fours and multiple NCAA tournament appearances
"We've seen some $90 million in construction and renovation, from Rock Chalk Park to Memorial Stadium to the DeBruce Center. And academically, Athletics' Graduation Success Rate and APR marks put us in excellent standing with the NCAA. I am confident that under Sheahon's leadership Athletics will experience even more success in the coming years."

Zenger's new contract will also have perks — with an emphasis on improving the football program's success — according to the Lawrence Journal-World.
Those perks will include a $40,000 bonus if the football team has a winning record, a $5,000 bonus if the women's basketball team has a winning record
during the regular season and $5,000 if the men's basketball team reaches the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament.
Kansas football has won just nine games in the past five seasons.

law that allows concealed carry in all public buildings unless security measures are installed. The University has been under an exemption for the past four years.
December, said the weapon, if stored in a backpack or purse, had to be kept on one's person at all times. The Regents voted in May to eliminate this clause from
The preparations for this change began in the offices of Strong Hall years ago and are finally wrapping up this summer. Surveys were taken, town hall's were held, a committee was convened and a report created.
The final result of these efforts was a revised policy on weapons that mandates any concealed weapon be kept within its owner's control at all times on campus. The original version of the policy, which was passed by the Board of Regents in
the policy in favor of more general wording.
Now, administration is looking at other aspects of campus life that will have to be shifted as a result of this
change, Largely, though, administrators say there won't be major changes to the way the campus operates.
Police and security changes
Campus Police Chief Chris Keary said the law basically brings the University in line with the rest of Kansas, as concealed carry is already allowed in many public places. But he said the Public Safety Office (which oversees all police and security operations on campus) is making preparations to ensure University community members stay safe.
"We want our officers out of the cars, walking around in the buildings, interacting with people, so that it gives people a sense that there are

Programs for low-income students fight proposed budget cuts
ANGIE BALDELOMAR @AngieBaldelomar
Since 1964, federally-funded TRIO programs have allowed thousands of low-income students access to higher education. Now, two programs within TRIO might get eliminated under President Donald Trump's proposed budget.
Efforts to avoid this have started at the University's programs. Mulubrhan Ne-
gash, director of TRIO McNair Scholars Program at the University, said her office's response is to spread actual data and stories about the work the program does.
"Our response is geared to raising awareness, and most importantly, give specific, tangible data to our congressmen, senators, [and] representatives," she said.
The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program assists low-income, first-generation and underrepresented minority undergraduate students in pursuing a doctoral program by providing faculty mentors, paid research opportunities and help in the process of applying to graduate programs.
For Negash, a big issue is the way Mick Mulvaney director of the federal government's Office of Management and Budget, presented the data to justify the cuts.
Mulvaney said McNair was only six percent effective. Negash said Mulvaney was reducing the impact by presenting data without the needed context.
"In order to slash a budget, you have to show that it doesn't work, in order to show it, you have to tell the data in a way that shows the story that you want to tell," she said. "If context was pro-

Each new semester brings a new round of syllabuses, but this semester professors will include a new added section of information that addresses concealed

In response to the arrival of concealed weapons on July 1 as a result of a 2013 state law, professors are taking steps to adjust their teaching style, class content, office hours or even seeking employment elsewhere.

The new officers will be key in increasing the visibility of law enforcement on campus. Keary says he's going to be encouraging his officers to walk through buildings frequently while classes are in session and is looking to set up some spaces on campus where his officers can work and be approachable to anyone walking on campus, such as the KU Info booth on Jayhawk Boulevard.
people around - and there will be people around," he said. "Hopefully, that presence will give the perception of safety to various members of our community."
PSO is adding three new police officers and three new security personnel, as well as some equipment, to prepare for campus carry. Not all of the new personnel will be fully trained by July 1, but they will be able to supplement PSO's current operations within a few months.
"We're not going to be there 100 percent of the time, but it's an opportunity to be seen in a way different than we have before," he said.
The new security personnel who PSO is hiring will be trained to operate the new security equipment they purchased. Though no
venues or events outside of KU Athletics have been approved to keep out guns using metal detectors and security personnel, PSO wants to be equipped to handle any situation that may arise and require temporary security measures, like controversial events or speakers.
"The necessity for having adequate security measures available should they be needed is very important," he said. "For example, if that event is being held in the Woodruff Auditorium and the people holding that event want to set up adequate security measures and keep people out of that specific auditorium... we have to be able to do that."
Deputy Chief James Anguiano said the majority of the force has had training in recent years as well that will equip them to handle situations involving guns. The training of existing officers has been necessary previously, he said, since concealed carry is so common in the general public, even if it's not previously been allowed on campus.
Gun-free zones
Many students will see the effects of campus carry most apparently when they must go through metal detectors to attend a Kansas basketball game.
KU Athletics, as previously reported by the Kansan, will have adequate security measures (metal detectors and security personnel) at the entrances to Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium during events. Anyone attending these events is also asked to carry their belongings in a clear plastic bag to speed up the process.
But athletic facilities will be the only part of the University to have such security measures and therefore the only part of the University to remain gun-free under current law.
However, a bill has been passed by the state legislature that would allow health facilities, like Watkins Health Center and almost all of the University's Medical Center, to continue restricting guns from their buildings. The bill is currently awaiting approval from Gov Sam Brownback.
Changes in campus services
Although many buildings on campus will not be getting the security measures, some may still have adjustments to make.
For example, the Ambler Student Recreation Center will have to put up signs by their lockers informing patrons that they cannot store
KANSAN.COM
weapons in the lockers. KU Libraries will have to make similar changes around the lockers that they provide.
Even Watkins will have to make a few changes if the bill on Brownback's desk fails. Director Douglas Dechario said staff has made plans to put up signs in their facility as well. The signs will inform patients that if they will have to fully disrobe for an exam, they should not bring their guns into the exam room.
Though she says it's not necessarily in reaction to campus carry, Durham also said that trainings have been held for many employees in Student Affairs to help them handle dangerous situations.
But, by and large, the changes will not interrupt these services' operations. Spokespeople from the Rec Center, Libraries and Watkins all said they do not plan on changing their personnel or operating hours as a result of campus carry.
Tammara Durham, vice provost for student affairs, said the law doesn't change the role of offices like these on campus.
"Our job is still to serve students and we're following the law and University policy and that's the extent of it," she said. "We're not changing the services we provide for services, period. Students
still need to be served and we will still serve students."
Durham said most of the campus carry conversations in her unit have revolved around what kind of information students are getting something administration has tried to emphasize through information sessions and an informational website, concealedcarry. ku.edu.
Generally, though, most administrators believe that campus carry will not bring massive changes to campus life.
Durham also said she can't imagine July 1 drastically shifting the campus, but she thinks it's impossible to tell exactly what it will be like.
Since concealed carry has been legal in many public spaces in Kansas for years and violence rarely results, Keary said, he doesn't see huge safety concerns being created on campus.
"I think what we'll find, hopefully, is that we're going to be much the same as the rest of the Kansas and Lawrence has been for the past ten years," Keary said.
"I'm not willing to make the leap, come July 1, that this will be the O.K. Corral," she said. "I'm assuming those who choose to carry will be responsible."

Senate planning fall trial of Uber, not yet eliminating SafeRide

With the summer term in full swing, Student Senate executive body members are working to get some of its platforms started. Among other platforms, the campus partnership with Uber platform is starting to get organized, said Mattie Carter, student body vice president.
Carter said her staff is in conversations with Uber representatives to discuss the possibility of a partnership. With regards to funding for this project, Carter said there is some leeway in the budget.
"There's a little bit of surplus in the budget for transportation, and so that money could be used to cover Uber," she said.
Zachary Kelsay,
transportation coordinator,
said, so far, Carter and him
have worked on creating a document of their vision for the program.
"We've listed out what we want the program to look like, and what's needed, what sort of improvements we need in the system and really looking for ways that the system can change moving forward," he said.
Among these requirements, a mobile
interface and a faster pick-up time are two of the main priorities, Kelsay said, both of which Uber offers and could provide, if implemented.
"Students are going to be able to use and download, that's I think our primary need," he said. "And I think our secondary need is a faster pick-up time."
said, even though Uber is the company they have had conversations with,they are open to companies with a better offer.
Both Carter and Kelsay
"We're probably going to have to go into some sort of negotiation," Carter said. "So we're going to extend offers to other companies besides Uber to see if they can give us a lower price and obviously we'll take the lowest price."
The document that Kelsay and Carter have drafted has been passed on to the purchasing services department at the University, the one in charge of opening up for bid to different companies providing the services, Kelsay said.
Carter said Uber or some other service will most likely be used, at least at the beginning, in conjunction with SafeRide, considering that MV Transportation, the company in charge of SafeRide, has a contract with the University until

"Hopefully by the fall semester, we'll be able to roll out the Uber on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and this wouldn't take SafeRide away yet," she said. "It'd kind of be a trial run to see if it works just using the surplus of that budget."
During this trial, students will be able to use a code and get free Uber rides on weekend nights. The trial is based off Wichita State University's partnership with Uber, in which Thursday through Saturday, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., students use a special University code to get free rides, up to $14.
Kelsay said, ultimately, Student Senate will go for the option that offers the most benefits at a low cost.
"Our number one goal is getting people home safe no matter what the system is," he said.
vided about the data that was shared, then, the story would show that actually the program does wonders for students."
Considering that the target population of McNair students, low-income, first-generation students, have a rate of below one percent of earning their doctorate, and even lower rate of finishing college and graduating, Negah said this six percent is significant.
She said they are trying to show the program is more than just a line in a budget, by showing how it affects people's lives, and, by extension, their communities. For that purpose, Negash said they are asking scholars to contact Congress, as well as helping fill out forms.
"What this program is doing is helping students tap into the talent that they have but didn't know it could go as far as becoming a professor or a scientist," she said. "You're changing the trajectory of individuals who would not have otherwise been able to do; you're changing the culture and the perspective of said target population."
The other program at risk of being cut, Educational Opportunity Centers at the
University, has also started their fight. Director Kimberly Morgan said the process is in the beginning stage.

"We're here to do the work and we're happy to do it,we just need to be funded."

"We've been asked by the Council for Opportunity
in Education in Washington D.C. to connect with our representatives and to invite them to an event with previous participants so they can have a better understanding of what we do and why we need to continue these TRIO programs," she said.
Educational Opportunity Centers program serves low-income, sometimes first-generation students who need help in the process of admissions and financial aid applications to pursue a postsecondary educational program.
Morgan said this program, along with the other
TRIO programs, are important in helping the United States compete globally.
"There's a tremendous gap in the educational attainment between America's highest and lowest income students, and the United States needs to move its academic and economic competitiveness globally," she said.
Negash also highlighted the outcome as an important reason to keep the programs funded. In the case of McNair, she said scholars are giving back to the community.
"You have to think about
McNair scholars are contributing to research that is finding cures to diseases, they're generating innovation in a wide range of industry, including biotech, healthcare agriculture," she said. "Not only are they giving back to the research community, they're giving back to the institution and their own community."
Morgan said the programs help in closing the gap in educational attainment.

It probably is not news to you that college students are suffering from mental illnesses at a rapidly increasing rate. We enter college to improve our lives, essentially, but many students suffer serious mental health issues during their time in higher education.
The benefits of a college degree are higher than ever, so exhausting ourselves to achieve success does not come as a surprise.
According to the American Psychological Association, a 2010 American College Health Association survey showed 45.6 percent of students reported "feeling that things were hopeless" and 30.7 percent said it was difficult to function normally during the past year. These are abnormally high statistics.
People who have endured four years of college frequently say the mental health problems that come with it are necessary; they are worth it. The mental struggles are simply part of the "glory days" of university. But those former students have probably forgotten just how miserable they actually were.
Why is it that we put so much energy into classwork? Into our social lives? College is competitive, intense and indescribably draining. Everyone said these things to us preceding arrival, but did we know the actual gravity of it all?
Probably not.
I may just be a melancholy person (not maybe, definitely), but I know many feel the way I do. Words like "competitive," "intense" and "draining" are merely broad terms that do not entirely express our frame
of mind
So what do we do about this? Hopefully ask for help. The Counseling and Psychological Services at the University (CAPS) is readily available for our use. Oh wait, do you have insurance? Extra cash to cover the co-pay? Most
of the staff at CAPS is in training and, by no fault of their own, inexperienced.
I had a friend who went to a counseling session and left with the advice: "Why don't you just try to do things that make you happy? Exercise!" She was less than satisfied.
However, she, like many of us, had no other option but to go to CAPS, due to the expense of outside psychological centers.
I am by no means discouraging getting help from the psychological services at the University. I am simply fed up with the way mental health is treated on college campuses. Funding probably is to blame for most of the issues.
Budgets for mental health treatment do not meet the growing need, and many college psychological centers remain understaffed and consequently have long waiting times, according to the Sovereign Health Treatment Center. If a counselor is unable to see you for your depression for four weeks, imagine what could happen in those four weeks left without help.
Although more easily said than done, the University needs financially accessible options and thoughtful campus culture regarding mental health.

This circus school teaches skills from juggling to aerial arts. Destroy said that if the studio doesn't offer a certain skill, she actively seeks out new artists to hold a workshop.
Amy Schweppe is one of the instructors that works at The Last Carnival. She said that about three years ago she had been introduced to circus and started taking classes at the studio. The first class she took was aerial silks, a kind of performance in which an artist performs acrobatics while hanging from a piece of fabric.
"I was fascinated specifically by aerial silks just the way they move around in the air. They're really dynamic and deathdefying," Schweppe said.
Her favorite thing about teaching is seeing students successfully get an acrobatic pose for the first time.

@courtbierman
The Bottleneck hosted hip-hop rock group Flobots Thursday as a stop on their "NOENEMIES" tour. The band is spending the next 10 days on a micro tour across the Midwest in promotion of the album, their first in five years.
Local rapper Reid the Martian got the night off to an underwhelming start. His choppy energy failed to connect with the audience
- if you could even call it an audience. About a dozen people stood in front of the stage during his set, swaying slightly but not committing to anything
that resembled dancing. It wasn't a pleasant 30 minutes. The bass was too loud, overpowering Reid's rapping, and it made my photographer's pictures blurry.
Reid stopped in between songs to apologize for not being more conversational; He was trying to squeeze in as many tracks as possible rather than chat with the audience. He invited the sway-ers to find him after the show if they wanted to talk.
Second opener Qbala played an excellent, high-energy set that finally built up some momentum. The modest crowd more than doubled in size and began
to dance in earnest. The Colorado-based rapper performed tracks about gender, sexuality and personal accountability.
Qbala used part of her stage time to get political.
She asked the audience if they recognized the injustice in the world, something she'd already been experiencing for years as a black woman.
"Do something. Say
something. Stand up.
Disrupt this shit," she urged the audience.
I liked her set enough to shell out $15 for her latest mix tape, the five-track "Battle Cries," during intermission.
And what an unpleasant intermission it was. The transition between openers was fast and smooth, but the transition to the main act was anything but. The audience stood around for 45 minutes before Flobots took the stage, at which point it was after 11 p.m. Thank goodness The Bottleneck has plenty of benches and tables for camping out with a drink.
But when the band
finally took the stage, all was forgiven. A zealous audience welcomed them with open arms, and the scent of marijuana smoke almost immediately filled the air. Emcees Jonny 5 and Brer Rabbit rapped back and forth on a packed stage crowded with a full band (including a violinist) and three besequined backup singers, one of whom proudly proclaimed to be from Kansas.
"There's no place like home, baby!" she called out.

▶ COURTNEY BIERMAN
@courtbierman
Hip-hop rock band Flobots visited The Bottleneck last week in promotion of their latest album "NOENEMIES" released on May 5.
The Denver-based band came to prominence in 2008 with their song "Handlebars", a political anthem about using influence for good rather than evil, off of their first album "Fight with Tools."
"NOENEMIES," and Flobots' music in general, would sound preachy if the band didn't practice what it preaches. Flobots are involved in grassroots community development in Denver.
The Kansan caught up with James Laurie (Jonny 5), Flobots vocalist and founder, to discuss "NOENEMIES," Trump, and what the band likes about playing in Lawrence. The interview was condensed for clarity.
KANSAI This is your first album in five years. Where have Flobots been?
JAMES LAUBE We stay really engaged with our communities around us. This particular album cycle, there's been a lot going on this year,
long before the election that we really wanted to stay involved in.
If you're going to have a healthy movement, it involves many more voices than just the ones standing onstage. So we did a project that took two or three years that really asked people to raise their own voices,to become comfortable singing together so that when there was a protest or march, people have songs to sing together. We found that it was transformative for people to be in the same room together and be singing the same song.
Do you think the album would be perceived differently if the outcome of the presidential election had been different?
Things were going to feel divided and divisive no matter what. There's a rank war right now and an antagonism right now that is pervasive, and in comes in part from how we see each other and how we talk to each other, which is online.
So I think that was going to be the reality no matter who won the election. There were going to be people who felt disempowered.
Flobots have been talking about climate change and social justice for so many years. Is there any sense of "I told you so?"
I don't feel that way. I don't take much satisfaction in being right about things. I think for me primarily to see a big step backwards is disheartening. There is some hope in certain things being fully revealed. You look at the sexism and misogyny that women deal with every day, and to have that be so visible in our president, hopefully it means people are being believed now.
Who was Dr. Vincent Harding, and how did he influence the record?
Vincent Harding was a speech writer for Dr. Martin Luther King, a friend of his, and worked with him during the Southern Freedom Movement, which is what he called the Civil Rights Movement. He also lived in Denver, and he was a familial mentor figure to both Brer Rabbit (Brackett) and myself.
Dr. Harding would always say to us, 'Where are the songs for today's movements?' and we would often
answer, 'What do you mean where are the songs? We're making songs.' And he would just ask us the question again to see if we could really understand what he meant.
But in 2014, he passed away. It hit us, and right away we knew, 'You know what, we are now called to answer his question. We need to answer it by actually gathering people to sing in the streets.' And that was when our No Enemies Project was born.
I think the way you guys take a more specific apa haunting track about the emotional turmoil of political discourse.
The audience wasn't allowed to forget how much the band members liked playing in Lawrence. Jonny 5 talked about eating at Zen Zero before the show,
the band stressed the importance of speaking out against social injustice. The message was strongest before they launched into the "Blood in the River,"
and praised the town for embracing its abolitionist history.
PAGE A
Four songs made up Flobots' encore, one of which was, to no one's surprise, the 2008 single "Handlebars." But it wasn't their last song of the night.
Rather than ending on a familiar note, Flobots said goodbye with a fantastic cover of Sly and the Family Stone's "Everyday People." Qbala jumped back onstage to sing along, and Jonny 5 and one of the backup singers freestyled during

"We wanted to give Lawrence something special," Jonny 5 said. "Because The Bottleneck has always treated us right and this city has always treated us right."
the bridge.
proach to political music sets Flobots apart from other bands.
In general, is it kind of unnerving to try to take these messages to more conservative communities in the Midwest?
Yeah, it's always been important for us that it not be superficial. Sometimes we're touring so constantly that we can't do much else. We rely on the audience to take inspiration in what we're able to provide, and kind of go into the trenches and do the work.
It isn't because of two things. One is that, I think in any area, if we come and people perceive us as like a progressive band, then those people are kind of looking for an oasis in the middle of a desert.
On the other side of things, it's a more inspiring challenge for us to say,'How do we in very good faith meet people from all across the spectrum in authentic and genuine ways?' If we are in the same space in real life and not online, then we will find that we have things in common.

Editor's Note: This story is the third in a series of stories looking at the way concealed carry on campus will look once it goes into effect July 1.
Each new semester brings a new round of syllabuses,but this semester professors will include a new added section of information that addresses concealed
carry on campus. As the University prepares to shift to an environment where students are legally allowed to bring concealed handguns to class, this will be just one of many preparations.
In response to the arrival of concealed weapons on July 1 as a result of a 2013 state law, professors are taking steps to adjust their teaching style, class content, office hours or even seeking employment elsewhere.
Aerospace engineering professor Ron Barrett Gonzalez, president of the Kansas chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said this is because many faculty members are concerned that concealed carry will have a chilling effect in classrooms.

Review: 'The Tree' is a sweet story about aging
Review: The Tree is a sweet story about aging
Still from Stephen and Mary Pruitt's "The Tree."
Contributed Photo
▶ COURTNEY BIERMAN
@courtbierman
"The Tree" is pretty much what you'd expect from a story about an 88-year-old widow road tripping across the Midwest to visit a childhood friend: it's saccharine. But that doesn't mean it's not a worthwhile piece of art.
First and foremost, Overland Park-based married filmmakers Stephen Wallace Pruitt and Mary Settle Pruitt's film is a testament to the value of
local, amateur filmmaking. It also reminded me that I needed to call my grandma
needed to call my grandma. Dorothy (Joicie Appell) is an 88-year-old grandmother who takes a solo road trip from Wamego, Kansas, to her hometown of Terre Haute, Indiana, to visit her lifelong friend Pat. Dorothy isn't unhappy in Wamego, but it's not quite home to her anymore. Her family lives in Iowa, and most of her friends have passed away. She's mostly alone, apart from her cat and caring neighbors.
Long into the twilight years of her life, Dorothy decides to see her hometown one last time. During her journey, she takes in her weathered Midwestern surroundings with a mix of awe and sorrow, and changes a few lives along the way.
"The Tree" had a budget of only $60,000 and was shot in Kansas with the help of the Kansas City Film Commission. It picked up the Audience Choice Award at the Kansas City FilmFest last April.
Director Stephen and
screenwriter Mary manage to eke out every bit of sentimentality from their story. But Appell deserves just as much credit for her grandmotherly performance.
That's not to dismiss how convincing she is in the role - she plays Dorothy as a woman who is grateful for the life she's had, but who might wish to go back and do a few things over. She delivers every monologue, no matter how banal (and a few of them are heavy in banality), with enough sincerity and sweetness
to make you believe every word. It doesn't hurt that Appell has a classic downhome grandma look, complemented by a striking pair of blue eyes.
A supporting cast of mostly nameless Midwesterners, including a few Jayhawks, fleshes out the film's tone: University lecturer Laura Kirk gives a thoughtful performance as Dorothy's concerned neighbor. Recent graduate Cedric Houle appears on screen toward the end as a patient gas station attendant who helps
Dorothy use her cell phone.
The film is as much a love letter to the Midwest as it is a reminder to appreciate every experience life has given you, good or bad—not exactly a groundbreaking idea, but revolutionary isn't really what the film is going for. It's as pleasant a movie experience as one is likely to have this summer.

The Lawrence Arts Center will screen "The Tree" on July 2 as part of the Free State Film Festival. Tickets can be purchased online on the festival website.

Basketball alumni return to Lawrence for Roundball Classic

@WesDotsonUDK
Over 40 former Kansas basketball players and coaches participated in the ninth annual Rock Chalk Roundball Classic on Thursday night.
The annual event, which saw its biggest turnout in former players and coaches, saw the alumni take part in a game in front of over 1,600 fans at Lawrence Free State High School's gymnasium.
The Rock Chalk Roundball Classic benefits local families who are dealing with cancer. The event was organized by Brian Hanni, play-byplay announcer for the Kansas football and men's basketball teams.
Missy Minear/KANSAN
A familiar face at the event has been current Sacramento Kings guard Ben McLemore, who said he enjoys coming back to Lawrence not only for the cause, but to reminisce with former alumni as well.
"That's why I've been coming every year," McLemore said. "This means a lot to me. Not just coming and playing the game, but coming and seeing the fans and the kids and my [teammates] that's played here at the University of Kansas."
As for the game, McLemore had two opportunities to tie the game with a three-point shot when the final seconds approached.
However, he missed on both tries and his blue team suffered a narrow 104-101 loss to the crimson team.
"Man, I'm frustrated," McLemore said with a chuckle. "But again, it's not about winning the game, or losing the game, it's all about the kids."
After the game, former Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor marveled at the turnout of the event.
"This is the best I've seen it," Taylor said. "I think this may be my second or third time, and this is the best I've seen it. Guys just need an
excuse to come back to Lawrence. We love it here, and it's a great place, obviously. You see how many people came out to watch these old guys run up and down the court."
Taylor also said he enjoyed playing with McLemore on the blue team.
Both were members of the 201112 Kansas team, but they did not play with each other because McLemore had to sit out as an NCAA partial qualifier his freshman season.
"Didn't get a chance to play with him, and I wish I did," Taylor said. "But it's great because younger guys like me obviously watched these older guys, and the older guys once they leave, they follow us, so [there's] a bunch of familiar faces and it's great to just kind of play."
It
"It was a great time, and I always want to come back and do this."
Wayne Selden Jr.
Former Kansas guard
Taylor also said he was impressed with the back-and-forth play between McLemore and current Memphis Grizzlies guard Wayne Selden Jr., who played for the crimson team.
"Two of the most athletic guys I've probably played with before," Taylor said. "Wayne's a freak, it's crazy."
Selden performed several highlight dunks on the night.
"It was fun to get back with all the guys," Selden said. "And guys before you and after me. Just getting out there and competing for a good cause. It was a great time, and I always want to come back and do this. I try to just put on a show for
the crowd, especially in an environment like this."
This year's event benefitted five families tabbed by Hanni as the "starting five."
"It was our best event ever in terms of number of players and the quality of the players speaks for itself," Hanni said in a Kansas Athletics news release. "Hopefully that will show up when everything is tabulated and we can give that final total to these kids. Our goal this year was $40,000 with five beneficiaries, which would be $8,000 for every family. I think we are going to come very close."
Twelve members from the 2008 NCAA National Championship team and coach Bill Self were also honored during the second half. The upcoming season will mark the 10th anniversary of the title run.
"This was unbelievable to see former guys and different generations of Jayhawks together," Robinson said in a Kansas Athletics news release. "This was a great experience and I am happy for all the families that were honored."

KU cheerleaders test American Ninja Warrior course

Grasping desperately for safety, Kansas junior cheerleader Kyra Skinner pulled herself onto the wobbling platform that separated a pair of rolling logs, before looking onwards to the second of two legs.
With a short run up, Skinner covered several feet before tumbling into the water below.
Elsewhere on the course of American Ninja Warrior, Kansas senior cheerleader Audie Monroe was busy tackling the Circle Hammer. Gripping onto the small metal ring, Monroe hung helplessly with safety several meters away. Using all of his remaining strength, he created a pendulum using his strength to propel himself onto the platform.
Monroe and Skinner were two of several Jayhawks to make the trip to Kansas City on April 22 and 23 to test themselves against obstacles that most people only see on TV.
The goal of the two-day testing was to make sure that any obstacle a large male can do, a smaller female can also do the same. The problem for American Ninja Warrior is that a majority of the participants willing to test the obstacles are male. Because of this, it is smaller athletes like Skinner that American
Ninja Warrior love.
"There's a little trampoline obstacle where you have to hop onto this pull-up thing, but they had to keep changing it because it was harder for the girls to reach while there were some guys who would literally just step and grab, while girls are having to jump like 2 feet," Monroe said. "So that was interesting to see all the adjustments that they had to make there."
One obstacle that proves difficult for the organizers is the Jump Hang, which requires the competitor to jump off a trampoline and clutch onto a pull up bar several feet away. While larger men can simply step onto the trampoline and easily reach the bar, smaller females have to put all their energy into the jump before clutching onto the bar.
Monroe was able to participate in a couple of other obstacles, such as the Circle Slider, which is an obstacle in which the contestant must hold onto a large ring that slides down a vertical slope with several steep drop-offs along the way. At the end of the slope, the contestant has to use the momentum to propel themselves onto a platform.
Although many of the
Although Skinner only got to test out one obstacle, she was pleased that she got the furthest of all the Kansas athletes participating.
obstacles require great strength, an element of technique is required to get across safely. On the Circle Slider, Monroe managed to hold on down the slope, but then had to use his own strength and momentum to leap to the next platform. This is in comparison to some of the more seasoned competitors, who made the transition look easy.
Despite the pair having never experienced something like American Ninja Warrior before, they feel that cheerleading certainly helped their cause. Both Monroe and Skinner thought their balance and strong stabilization muscles obtained through
"We would sit on the side while one of our teammates would go, and then they'd come down and we'd be like 'you need to do this' or 'try this' to see if you could get through it," Skinner said. "That was really neat to through all of that."
cheerleading helped them.
cheerleading helped them. One thing that surprised both athletes was that all of the obstacles had to be manually reset, leading to longer wait times. This became a problem when heights and distances had to be adjusted to find the sweet spot for athletes of all sizes.
Skinner also found it interesting how there were so many rules for certain obstacles that people just watching on TV don't know about.
"They're like, 'You can't do these specific things, don't use your hands on certain parts, don't touch certain things,' which is so weird, because when I watch the show I'm usually yelling at the person like 'Why don't you just use your hands.'" Skinner said. "So now I realize that they're not allowed to."
Despite having lots of fun testing out the obstacles, the pair doesn't particularly see
themselves competing in the event as a serious competitor in the future.
"If I had the time — I just don't foresee myself having the time to train for it," Monroe said. "If I'm going to do it, I want to be successful at it and not kind of do it halfway. So yeah, I'd definitely have to put in time and I don't think I have that time."
He also explained how several of the serious competitors either own gyms or work at gyms, working out constantly for either American Ninja Warrior or several other ninja competitions around the world. Skinner shared the same sentiment.
Having tested out the obstacles for themselves and witnessing just how much hard work goes into training for the show and making it run, the pair of Jayhawks have a newfound respect for those who dedicate their lives to conquering the many ninja courses around the world.

"I definitely feel that it makes me respect the ninja's more, because I only did one obstacle and I was tired after that," Skinner said. "I couldn't even imagine getting through the entire course."

Later this month, Kansas sophomore guard Charlie Moore will be competing for an opportunity to represent his country this summer.
Moore accepted an invitation Thursday to compete at the 2017 USA Basketball Men's U19 World Cup team training camp at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs Colorado.
Tryouts will be held from June 18-25. Moore is one of 28 invitations.
issued by the team, and only 12 players will make the final roster.
"We always encourage our guys to participate with USA Basketball and certainly hope Charlie fares well during the tryout," Kansas coach Bill Self said in a Kansas Athletics news release.
A reigning two-time champion, the United States will look for a third-consecutive gold medal at the event in Cairo, Egypt, which will take place from July 1-9.
Moore will sit out the 2017-18 season at Kansas due to NCAA transfer
rules. He averaged 12.2 points and 3.5 assists at California while starting all 34 games last season.
The Chicago native was also named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team.
Kentucky coach John Calipari will lead the team. Former Kansas players and current coaches Tad Boyle (Colorado) and Danny Manning (Wake Forest) will serve as assistant coaches.
Training camp will begin at 6 p.m. on June 18. Following two practice sessions on June 19, then a morning session on June 20, finalists for the
team are expected to be announced the same day.
The selected finalists will remain in Colorado and train twice a day through June 25. The final 12-member team is expected to be announced on June 22.
Moore will attempt to join Kerry Boagni (1983), Kevin Pritchard (1987), Nick Collison (1999), Tyshawn Taylor (2009) and Josh Jackson (2015) as the only players in Kansas history to make the U19 roster.

Small tuition increase approved for next year
▶ CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
Next year's tuition and fees have officially been set at
one of the smallest increases in recent years.
The Board of Regents voted Thursday to approve a 2.5 percent increase in standard tuition at the University's Lawrence campus. The rate for the tuition compact, which allows firsttime freshmen to opt-in to a locked price for four years, will increase by 5.5 percent.
These increases will put next year's standard tuition at $4,908.75 per semester for in-state undergraduates and $12,792.75 for out-of-state undergraduates. Graduate students will pay either $4,858.20 or $11,365.20, depending on their residency. Incoming freshmen opting in to
the tuition compact (which is estimated to be below 11 percent this year) will pay $5,531.25 or $17,689.46.
The University's proposal for standard tuition falls in line with the other increases proposed at the meeting. Wichita State also proposed a 2.5 percent increase and the other four universities proposed increases between 2.6 and 2.9 percent.
The University's Medical Center was approved for higher increases, with all rates at the school increasing by 5 percent. Undergraduates at the Med Center will pay $5,031.45 per semester for in-state students or $13,105.05 for out-of-state students. Graduate
students will pay $4,718.70 or $11,088.00, depending on residency. Students at the School of Medicine will pay $17,689.46 or $31,319.35.
During their Wednesday meeting, some of the Regents said they were more comfortable with the Med Center's raises because of the age of students who attend that campus.
The Regents expressed some reluctance toward the general tuition increases during their Wednesday and Thursday meetings, many of them suggesting that they would have hoped for an increase closer to 1 or 2 percent this year, given the steady state funding the universities received this year. As a result of these conversations, Kansas State University did reduce their

Orientation preparing freshmen for campus carry
DARBY VANHOUTAN @darbyvanhoutan
Editor's Note: This story is the second in a series of stories looking at upcoming implementation of concealed carry.
On Tuesday, the first day
of orientation, incoming students and their families filled the Kansas Union. One of the first things on their itineraries? A new safety panel for parents and guests.
According to Katie Treadwell, associate director for orientation in the Office of First Year Experience, one of
the largest topics discussed by this panel and one of the largest questions on the minds of these parents and guests is concealed carry.
"KU Public Safety Office (KUPSO) will introduce all of the resources they use on campus to keep us safe and introduce the concept of concealed carry,"Treadwell said.
Of course, she added, the panel also includes the representatives from the Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center who will speak on issues regarding sexual assault and consent, as well as Student Affairs who will discuss campus safety as a
whole.
With the exemption that kept weapons off public Universities set to expire on July 1, the issue of concealed carry is one that is undoubtedly weighing on students' and parents' minds.
Over the past few years, administrators and groups
like those presenting on the panel have gathered, from things like from town halls and orientations, student questions regarding the 2013 state law, which allows individuals over the age of 21 to carry a concealed weapon in

proposal from 3 to 2.9 percent for a final vote.
Compared to tuition increases in recent years, all of this year's rates were well below that. Last year, for example, the University saw
an increase of 5 percent. Regent Shane Bangerter said this improvement from historical patterns is one of the reasons he voted to approve.
"Nobody likes [the increase], but you look at what the University is doing, the kind of services they're providing, and compare that to what a private institution would cost, it's still a bargain and it's still a great value," Bangerter said after the vote.
In the future, Bangter- er said he would like to
curb the increases or even keep tuition steady, but increased state funding would be necessary to make that happen.
Along with the tuition increases, the Regents approved the University's fees for next year. The fees in-

any public facility unless security measures are in place.
University student ambassadors Allie Melendez and David Stine lead a campus tour for incoming freshman and their parents outside of the KU Visitor Center on Nov. 11. Melendez is a junior from Los Angeles and Stine is a senior from Olathe.
"Any time a new question comes up at orientation, I submit it to the Provost's office and they craft a response and make it publicly available so that in the future we can continue answering those questions," Treadwell said. "Because part of making people feel OK about it is making them feel that their question is important even if it's the hundredth time you've been asked that question."
File Photo/KANSAN
The University's concealed carry website, concealedcarry.ku.edu, is home to the collection of frequently asked questions.
"The conversations that we've had with students have really been those 'what if scenarios, not necessarily from a place of fear," Treadwell said. "But just from a place of wanting to be prepared and being unsure about what this looks like on campus."
INCOMING STUDENTS
Sarah Malakoff, a freshman from Mckinney, Texas, said she has been sure of her choice to attend the University for quite some time. Now, after only recently becoming aware of concealed carry at the University, she said she sees both negative and positive sides to the issue.
"It's great as it can allow
someone to feel safe on campus and if need be, protect themselves in a dangerous situation," Malakoff said. "However, you can be sitting in class or walking on Jayhawk Boulevard and a student right next to you will be able to have a gun and you have no clue as to what their intentions are."
Although full of hypothetical questions right now, Malakoff said, it doesn't change her decision to come to Kansas.
"It didn't even pop into my mind when considering where to go to college," Malakoff said. "It's not something I think most high school students think about."
The issue's influence, or lack thereof, on choice of college was the same with Nate Gendler, a freshman from Omaha, Nebraska.
Gendler, who described himself as supporting the second amendment, said he has become fairly educated on carrying a concealed weapon and has plans to conceal carry in the future. However, his opinion skews when it comes to college campuses.
"I just think it should be a gun-free area, as public and private high schools and such are," Gendler said.
When thinking about the issue and how it will influence his upcoming time at the University, Gendler said he weighs the pros and cons.
The pros, he said, include the possibility that guns could make the campus safer. The cons are paramount too, though, he added.
ORIENTATION ASSISTANTS
"I am not indifferent, I'd prefer it be gun-free," Gender said. "But I do understand and support the legality of concealed carry. I just don't know how I feel about them on a campus."
Although students like Malakoff and Gendler didn't consider the change when choosing a university, they may have questions about it once they get here. That's why orientation assistants like Kenny Nguyen and Leslie Alva were trained to have the answers, or at least know
Instead of changing it, Nguyen said, the University is focused on educating students about concealed carry. Although the campus safety panel during orientation is for everyone except incoming students, they may have something just as good: peers who likely had or have
“It's all about prevention education right now, stuff like what to do if you see it, this is how you should conceal it and this is how it should be,” Nguyen said. “It's nothing that KU can change.”
where to find them.
Nguyen, a junior from Dodge City, said in serving his second year as an orientation assistant, he hopes to help educate new students on concealed carry with the tools he has gained through training.
the same questions as them.
"It's one of those topics where you're not just like, 'Hey, by the way...' There's not really a way for you to introduce the topic to them," Alva said. "You just be there."
Alva, a junior from Kansas City, Kansas, said the issue of concealed carry will likely be one discussed daily during the two months of orientation. How that issue is to be discussed, she said, is up to the students.
Along with their assistants, incoming students will also attend an Opportunities Fair during their one day orientation. Hosted in a ballroom at the Union, the fair has been specifically designed to station KUPSO front and center in order to answer any questions.
As part of their orientation assistant training, Nguyen and Alva attended the same panel that parents and guests will attend at orientation, where KUPSO was available to answer many of their questions. According to Treadwell, this panel will eventually be presented to incoming students at required Hawk Week event Jayhawk Jumpstart on Aug. 18.
"One of the things that we found when we talk with students about some of those pieces, the health, wellness, life on campus, is in June it's not quite as relevant as when they're actually here and spend a night on campus," Treadwell said. "It's a lot more real and more relevant at that point."

The University's Medical Center will be exempted from concealed carry, and the hospital's president, Bob Page, expressed his satisfaction with the decision on Friday.
Public hospitals, mental health centers and other health facilities in Kansas can ban concealed guns without expensive security upgrades after Gov. Sam Brownback allowed a bill to become law Thursday without his signature.
A 2013 law required public buildings to allow gun owners to bring concealed weapons unless those buildings have heightened security such as guards or metal detectors. Universities and public health facilities received a four-year exemption that was due to expire July 1.
tive officer of the University of Kansas Health System, said in a video that he was grateful for the bill becoming law and what it does for the healthcare industry.
At the University's Medical Center, Bob Page, the president and chief execu-
"By allowing this to become law, it will allow us to continue to do what we've been doing which is to keep weapons out of our organizations, and it will allow us to have the same playing field as all of the community hospitals that are not public facilities," he said.
The law not only applies to the University's hospital in Kansas City, Kansas, but also facilities like the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, Watkins Memorial Health Center and Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
For David Johnson, Bert Nash Community Mental
Health Center chief executive officer, it was important that this bill became law for the center to continue with their work.
"It means [the center] would continue to be a safe environment not only for our patients, but for our staff as well," he said before the bill was officially finalized.
Johnson said the passage of this bill will save them from implementing the security measures the legislature requires for buildings to ban concealed carry.

Page shared his satisfaction with continuing the work in health facilities.
"We're happy that this has now become law and we can move on to the next challenges that we have in healthcare," he said in the
video.

KU attempts to dismiss second
- CHANDLER BOESE
@Chandler_Boese
The University is trying again to get a federal Title IX lawsuit dismissed on the grounds that the lawsuit is redundant with a state consumer protection case.
Sarah McClure is one of two former Kansas rowers suing the University for Title IX violations. In separate lawsuits, she and her former teammate Daisy Tackett allege that the University mishandled their reports of sexual assault, both of which allegedly occurred in
Jayhawker Towers by a member of the football team, and that the University discriminated against them afterwards.
The University filed a motion Friday to dismiss McClure's lawsuit, a move they took with Tackett's case in April. The motion says neither party should have to go through a trial on the lawsuit because a similar state case has already been dismissed.
McClure had joined a consumer protection case last June that says the University used misleading advertisements about Student Housing, which
allegedly gave the Tackett and McClure families a false sense of safety. The case was dismissed by a Kansas court in March.
Since both the federal lawsuit and consumer protection lawsuit are so similar, the motion argues, the federal one should be dismissed.
"The University should not have to defend multiple cases that involve the same claims, allegations, witnesses, evidence, legal issues, and critical events, and this Court should not have to repeat the work already done by the state court," the motion says.
The University
The L
The University should not have to defend multiple cases that involve the same claims [...] and this Court should not have to repeat the work already done by the state court,"
Motion to dismiss Sarah McClure lawsuit
In fact, in the motion to dismiss McClure's claim, the University includes a
table comparing language, evidence and arguments used in the two cases.
McClure's lawyer, Dan Curry, will have an opportunity to respond to the University's motion.
Curry is Tackett's lawyer as well and has already responded to the motion filed in her case, arguing that she did not have full opportunity to argue her case in the state lawsuit and that the issues at play in the two lawsuits are fundamentally different, since one involves a purchasing decision that led to the alleged sexual assault and the other
involves the University's response to the alleged sexual assault.
"This situation is similar to a KCPA claim against a car salesman for making misrepresentations in the sale of a car and a personal injury claim for an automobile crash," the response said. "While both claims involve a car, and perhaps the same car, they are completely separate transactions, giving rise to separate and distinct claims."
The judge has not made a ruling on the motion in Tackett's case.
The work group, spear-
Robertson said, shows the need for a community like this one.
"We've talked about it over the years but never had a sense that there was a particular interest or need yet. When it began to percolate from the students, before it was mostly our staff wondering if we should do it," Robertson said. "Finally it was our students saying, 'Hello, we want this,' and that's when we're going to act on it."

This wanderlust seems to diminish as student loans and debt creep around the corner after graduation. Once out in the real world, students desperately search for a good job and do not want to risk losing that dream job by taking time off, so traveling takes a back seat.

Two years ago, when Lawrence artist Connie Fiorella Fitzpatrick was collaborating with the Lawrence Public Library to research the history of local black women, she discovered something that unsettled her. Instead of the stacks of recorded history she was anticipating, very little was available at Watson Library about Lawrence's women of color.
Now, Fitzpatrick has come up with a way that will, hopefully, begin to fill that gap.
Next summer work will begin on a public
mural that will portray the unique experiences of Kansas women of color. Research has already begun on the project, which is called Wak'o Mujeres Phu nu Women Mural (Kanza, Spanish, Vietnamese, English): Stories of Kansan Women of Color.
"If no one's going to collect and write our history, then time will pass and we will be forgotten," Fitzpatrick said.
Fitzpatrick teamed up with Marylin Hinojosa, a fellow Lawrence artist. Fitzpatrick and Hinojosa will serve as the lead artists and will select 20 women of color to be part of the mural's design team.

"The importance of a team of brown and black hands creating this public mural and projectwebsite about women who look like them is important, as it shows a truer representation of diverse skins, shapes, and existence as women of color," the project's
The artists have a few options for where the mural will be, but they are hoping to create it at the Lawrence Public Library.
"We want it to be a city wall, not a private wall," Fitzpatrick said. "To be truly part of the community, the wall is very important."
Ideally, the mural would be a permanent fixture in the Lawrence community.
In addition to the mural, Fitzpatrick and Hinojosa will create a website documenting the stories they manage to uncover: Every recorded interview will be archived for future generations.
Mentoring the artists are Imani A. Wadud, a doctoral student in the University's Department of American Studies, and Nedra Bonds, a Kansas City activist. Wadud and Bonds are assisting with research - the technical side, Wadud said.
"We really need people to show up [for this project]," Wadud said. "It'll show that it's important, that citizens are invested, that there are people in the community — regardless of status — who think it's important."
The project was recently awarded a Rocket Grant, which supports "encouraging and supporting innovative, under-the-
radar and public-facing work in non-traditional spaces." The grant, launched by the Charlotte Street Foundation and the Spencer Museum of Art, is funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
Right now, the team of artists is looking for stories to include in their project. Any women of color hoping to get involved in the project can learn more from the project's Facebook page or by contacting wocmural.ks@gmail.com.

Solomon Bass has experienced both sides of the social coin as a back man who worked as a security guard.
As a recipient of the Rocket Grant Award, which is partially funded by the Spencer Museum of Art, Bass will use the $6,000 to create a documentary titled "Black and Blue,"which will focus on bridging the gap between black communities and black police officers.
Julia Cole, program coordinator for the Rocket Grant program with the Kansas City-based Charlotte Street Foundation, said that the grant comes from money received from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
The program puts out a yearly application for artists who work in non-traditional spaces, from which 10 recipients are selected. Cole said a jury of four professional artists choose the winners. The program awards up to $6,000 for each project.
Cole said there were many reasons as to why Bass was chosen as one of the recipients of the grant. She said he has very strong skill sets, experience, and the capacity to do what he wants to do.
"His story is very compelling," she said. "He wants to do a project about a topic that is really important and timely, and it will have a big impact in the community, because not only does he want to make this documentary, but he also wants to have
a community dialogue."
Cole said that she hopes the program will help artists grow, challenge themselves and stretch in their practice.
Bass said the documentary will feature stories and personal experiences from black communities and black police officers.
"I'm from the black community and I went to Ferguson and got a lot of footage, and it kind of made my heart hard towards police — until I got a new job as a security officer," Bass said. "And that is what woke me up."
Before getting his job as a security officer, Bass had never worn a badge. During his first week, he would walk into the waiting room and receive dirty looks from black customers in the waiting room. He wondered what kind of pushback
real police officers were getting if he was receiving negative looks and comments from the black community as only a security guard.
I'm from the black community and I went to Ferguson and got a lot of footage, and it kind of made my heart hard towards police until I got a new job as a security officer,and that is what woke me up."
Soloman Bass Recipient of Rocket Grant Award
Bass said he thinks a documentary like "Black and Blue" plays a big role right now because black communities have no trust in law enforcement, no matter what color they are.
"I understand it, but at the same time it hurts because the police department is going to win every time, and it's setting us up for failure," he said. "Someone has to do something, and someone has to build a bridge."
The film will premiere in June of 2018 at the Southeast Community Center in Kansas City followed by a discussion about how to bridge the gap.
Bass said he hopes his documentary can shed some light on both sides of the issue and that he wants to spark a change by creating new ideas and
opening people's minds on both sides. He hopes that when people watch the documentary, they understand black officers go through a lot on top of facing hatred from their own community.
"They face a lot and maybe we can be more understanding," he said. "But then I want the police department to understand the black community is really hurt and it's hard for them to trust."

Review: 'The Scent of Rain and Lightning' is an interesting, uneven look at small-town mystery
I'll try to be as honest as possible, but I can't capture the full emotion of the moment.
"The Scent of Rain and Lightning" will screen at the Lawrence Arts Center on July 1 as part of the Free State Film Festival.
GUS HUNNINGHAKE @gushunninghake

or a film showing at a small festival in Kansas, there sure is a stacked cast of up-and-coming young actors in "The Scent of Rain and Lightning," a mystery drama from director Blake Robbins, who some viewers might recognize from his role as one of Jim's brothers on "The Office."
Set in a small, Midwest town, "The Scent of Rain and Lightning" stars Maika Monroe as Jody Linder, the daughter of parents Hugh (Justin Chatwin) and Laurie (Maggie Grace), who were both brutally murdered 12 years ago. When Billy (Brad Carter), their suspected murderer, is set free from jail, Jody begins digging into the past, trying to figure out what really happened the night her parents were killed. As she goes deeper into the rabbit hole, Jody uncovers shocking details that only further muddy the waters, as shocking betrayals and twists around every plot point drive the narrative toward an unexpected and bloody end.
Perhaps the best aspect of this film is the rural setting captured in all its rustic detail by director Robbins. Warm sunlit fields and worn down buildings perfectly reflect the aesthetic of living
in a small town, and the filmmakers' choice to not give the town a specific location makes the story a bit more broad and open to any small town in America, making each character slightly more relatable.
Despite the warm and welcoming setting, Robbins does incorporate a few techniques that inhibit the storytelling and make the viewing experience feel a bit off. Almost every scene in the film's runtime uses a whole lot of handheld shots, which have a very unsteady feel, almost like the camera is in constant motion. This is often used to incite feelings of unease. However, in this film's case, its overreliance on the handheld technique takes a bit of edge away from narrative moments that should feel more weighty and impactful.
From a storytelling standpoint, the film relies heavily on flashbacks, almost annoyingly so. There are many times when the story feels almost halted because the flashbacks get in the way. There's no sense of timing or placement for the flashbacks that take place, and these scenes often overshadow and inhibit the flow of Jody's investigation into the past. By the time the credits roll, many plot points are left unanswered or found to be unnecessary to the narrative, even though they were made to seem
important at the start of the film.
Performances by the actors and actresses across the board were fine, but none really stood out or felt really unique from the rest. Monroe does her best as the character the audience is supposed to feel most connected to, but at the same time, it's hard to see her as someone who has experienced the deep pain of losing her parents. The film gives her almost no alone time to really give viewers the emotional depth needed to understand her character.
As a whole, "The Scent of Rain and Lightning" is an interesting look at small town drama and how when everyone knows everyone, no secret can be left unturned. However, there aren't enough character moments, especially from focal character Jody, to
make the overarching narrative feel grounded or real enough to have the impact of other mystery dramas that have come before it.
"The Scent of Rain and Lightning" will be screened at the Lawrence Arts Center on July 1 as part of the Free State Film Festival. It will be followed by a Q&A with director Robbins and screenwriter Casey Twenter.

Trio of Kansas baseball players selected in the MLB draft

Missy Minear/KANSAN
The core of this past season's Kansas baseball team will now prepare for their next step in professional baseball.
After becoming the first two Kansas pitchers since 2006 to be selected in the top 10 rounds during day two of the 2017 MLB draft on Tuesday, junior reliever Blake Weiman and senior closer Stephen Villines saw their star shortstop selected on Wednesday.
Junior Matt McLaughlin was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 12th round (356th overall) during the third day of the draft.
As for Weiman, he was the first Jayhawk off the board when he was selected in the eighth round (238th overall) by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The lefty moved to the bullpen this season and became a dominant shortouting force for Kansas coach Ritch Price.
Using his 6-foot-4 frame, Weiman struck out 30 batters and walked only three while posting a 2.22 ERA in 18 relief appearances.
"It is an amazing feeling," Weiman said in a Kansas Athletics news release. "Everything I have worked for my whole career paid off today. The University of Kansas and the coaching staff have given me all the tools to be successful to this point and I will be forever indebted to them and this institution. I couldn't be more excited."
However, Weiman hit several rough patches during his first two seasons at Kansas.
Weiman was primarily used as a starter in both his freshman and sophomore campaigns. He went 4-14 with a 6.78 ERA in 21 starts.
The move to the bullpen allowed him to develop his fastball and produce more velocity since he would now see a limited number of batters.
For Price, the move dramatically, helped the team's pitching success.
"I am absolutely thrilled for Blake," Price said in the release. "He walked in here
as a freshman throwing 80-82 MPH, and with his work ethic, is leaving here with a low 90s fastball and a plusbreaking ball. To see him chase his dream, knowing how hard he worked, I couldn't be happier."
He was also one save shy of the Big 12 Conference record set by longtime MLB reliever Huston Street (41).
Weiman became a bridge to Villines, who was drafted in the 10th round (307th overall) by the New York Mets.
Villines was also named
Villines became the all-time leader in saves (40) for the program this season.
to the All-Big 12 First Team (2017),All-Big 12 Second Team (2016),All-Big 12 Honorable Mention Team (2014 & 2015),Big 12 AllFreshman Team (2014) and the NCBWA Freshman All-American Second Team (2014) during his four-year career at Kansas.
"What a remarkable four years by Stephen," Price said in the release. "He will go down as one of the all-time great Jayhawks and now has a chance to chase his dream of playing professional baseball. I couldn't be happier for that young man."
Price said he owes the majority of the bullpen's
success this season to Weiman and Villines.
"Our bullpen was the strength of our team this season, evident by these two young men." Price said in the release. "There was no doubt in my mind these two would hear their names called and I am absolutely thrilled for both guys."
Rounding out the Jayhawk draft class was McLaughlin, who became one of the Jayhawks' most consistent bats during his three-year tenure.
"What a dream come true," McLaughlin said in the release. "This dream was only possible with the help of the coaching staff
at the University of Kansas. They completely molded my game and prepared me for the next level. I am truly grateful for everything the University and staff has done for me these past three years."
McLaughlin posted a career-high slash line of .325/.419/.439 with six doubles and 21 RBIs this past season.
"I already took a phone call from the Rockies and they are excited to have Matt in their organization," Price said in the release. "He is a tremendous Jayhawk and I know he will be successful at the next level."

DAILY DEBATE What's the best landing spot for Josh Jackson?
FIGHTING 24 KANSAS 11 DUCKY
Freshman guard Josh Jackson drives to the basket in the second half against Oregon on March 25. The Jayhawks fell to the Ducks, 74-60. Jackson is expected to be selected early in the first round of Thursday's NBA draft.

@mswain97
PHOENIX SUNS
If Josh Jackson were to be drafted No. 4 overall by the Phoenix Suns, we would be looking at a resurrection of one of the most successful franchises in the NBA.
The Suns are in need of a small forward like Jackson who can play the three and can someday play small-ball four as he develops.
As of the last day of the NBA season, Phoenix only had one small forward with over one year of NBA experience — T.J. Warren, a third-year player from NC State. The other small forward is a rookie from UNLV, Derrick Jones Jr.
Phoenix holds the best young shooting guard in Devin Booker, who averaged 22.1 points a game this past year. Although, he was out of position at times,
sometimes being asked to play small forward. Drafting Jackson at No. 4 would be a perfect match, and it would allow Booker to play his natural shooting guard position, as well as allow him to play off the ball and utilize
"
At his highest ceiling, Jackson could be just like [LeBron] James."
Jackson's passing ability.
Booker is an explosive scorer with a lot of dog in him. He has been known to talk ample amounts of trash, even saying, "I don't start it [talking trash] but I finish it." Jackson is very similar to Booker as both love to compete, and Jackson has even stepped up to talking trash to NBA greats like Gary Payton.
I believe Jackson and Booker have the
possibility of forming a duo like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in Miami. If only Wade could shoot as prolifically as Booker, who has already dropped more than 70 points in a game.
Yes, I just compared Jackson's potential to James'. At his highest ceiling, Jackson could be just like James. Jackson will never be LeBron, but I see him being a notch just below that of the King.
The Celtics are a horrible fit for Jackson — they spent last year's No. 3 overall pick on Jaylen Brown, a small forward from California. Not to mention, the Celtics are the top candidate to land an All-Star small forward in Gordon Hayward if he chooses to leave Utah.
You also can't forget Boston's openness to trade next year's pick to Chicago or Indiana for Jimmy Butler or Paul George.
▶ DEASIA PAIGE
@deasia_paige
BOSTON CELTICS
With the NBA draft just days away, there still remains uncertainty for the best pick for each team.
Although it was assumed that the Boston Celtics will pick Washington point guard Markelle Fultz, it has been reported that the Celtics are keeping their eyes on another freshman phenom, former Jayhawk Josh Jackson.
According to Chad Ford of ESPN, the Celtics seem to be very fond of Jackson and are exploring their options beyond picking Fultz at No.1. Ford even spoke with a general manager who claimed that Jackson is the type of player that best suits president and general manager Danny Ainge's drafting style.
However, Jackson recently canceled a workout with the Celtics and seems more interested in playing for the Los Angeles Lakers or Philadelphia 76ers (where he could
potentially play with former Jawhawk Joel Embiid).
The idea of Jackson being the No.1 overall pick isn't farfetched at all, especially considering the Celtics' needs.
The Celtics need a player who can heavily contribute to offense and control the floor whose name is not Isaiah Thomas. Averaging 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, and three assists while playing for Kansas, Jackson proved he can do just that.
He's also athletic and versatile, which is another need for the Celtics. They need a forward whose length and size contributes to their versatility instead of hindering it. In a league that is small-ball dominant, it's crucial that big men are versatile and are able to shoot outside of the paint.
Although the Celtics have Jae Crowder and rookie Jaylen Brown (who was impressive during the postseason), they've contributed more on defense than offense.
If the Celtics had a player like Jackson in the Eastern Conference Finals, who
easily contribute on both ends of the floor and capable of controlling the offense, they probably would've had a better chance to compete against the Cleveland Cavaliers in more than one game.
However, the Celtics problem was blatantly exposed when Thomas got injured. They rely too much on Thomas to create plays and run the offense that they don't know what to do without him. Jackson has that type of persistence and will to carry a team, a spirit that ignited the hearts of Jayhawk fans for every game.
Jackson has some work to do. He needs to work on his three-point shooting; he shot about 38 percent from deep this season. That needs to change if Jackson wants to be compete with other big men in the NBA.
But, considering the growth of the rookie Brown, there is no doubt that Jackson will be able to grow into his potential under the impeccable tutelage of coach Brad Stevens.

"Having a single room was cool, but it did suck that I missed the opportunity to live with a roommate all because I couldn't find someone who was open-minded," Wantling said. "Especially because once I got to KU I met a lot of open-minded people that said, 'Oh, I would have lived with you had I

"I had a lot of people turn me down just because of my sexuality," Wantling said. "I had one girl who said, 'My mom doesn't want me to live with anyone that's gay,' and another one that was like, 'Well, my boyfriend might have a problem with that.'"
The creation of the GIH wing, Robertson said, is one step toward removing hurdles like those faced by students

Editor's Note: This story is the third in a series of stories looking at the way concealed carry on campus will look once it goes into effect July 1.
Each new semester brings a new round of syllabuses, but this semester professors will include a new added section of information that addresses concealed
carry on campus. As the University prepares to shift to an environment where students are legally allowed to bring concealed handguns to class, this will be just one of many preparations.
In response to the arrival of concealed weapons on July 1 as a result of a 2013 state law, professors are taking steps to adjust their teaching style, class content, office hours or even seeking employment elsewhere.
Aerospace engineering professor Ron Barrett Gonzalez, president of the Kansas chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said this is because many faculty members are concerned that concealed carry will have a chilling effect in classrooms.

Self says Kings 'a great place' for Frank Mason III
KANSAS 0
Senior guard Frank Mason III looks to make a pass inside against Purdue on March 23. The Jayhawks defeated the Boilermakers, 98-6, to advance to the Elite Eight.

@WesDotsonUDK
Early in the draft escouting process, the Sacramento Kings took a liking to former Kansas guard Frank Mason III. On Thursday, the Kings made Mason the newest member of their organization.
Sacramento drafted Mason in the second round (34th overall) of the 2017 NBA Draft.
After he was selected, Kansas coach Bill Self said the Kings have been intrigued by Mason for several months.
"They talked to us about Frank for months about how much they loved him," Self said. "They brought him out there twice to work him out."
However, doubt of the Kings drafting Mason crept into Self's mind after the team drafted Kentucky guard De'Aaron Fox with the No.5 overall pick.
"We thought that [No. 34 overall] would be a good backstop for [Mason], just because
we didn't think he'd fall past that," Self said. "But when they took Fox with their first pick, now all of a sudden, there's another point guard. Is [Mason] as big a priority?"
Despite the Kings selecting Fox, Mason still
heard his name called from the team that has shown the most interest in him ever since the draft process started.
"That tells me right there how much they like Frank if they want him on the roster so much after
they took Fox," Self said. "I think it's a great place for him.I think he'll have an opportunity to not only make the team but play a lot."
Mason will join a dreadful Kings team that has seen turnover in
both the head coaching position and front office over the past several years.
Sacramento has had nine different coaches since 2006 and has won less than 40 games each of those past 11 seasons.
Self said he thinks Mason's mentality will contribute to creating a positive culture the Kings have been searching for.
"His value will be even more so than what he does on the court," Self said. "He'll bring a toughness to their culture that will be very positive. I think he and De'Aaron Fox both will be great for their franchise together."
After winning national player of the year honors from 10 different media outlets, Mason also became the first player in Kansas and Big 12 history to average more than 20 points (20.9) and five assists (5.2) in a single season in 2016-17. His 20.9 points per game average ranked first in the conference.
His stellar season also helped propel Mason to a top-six ranking in both points (1,885) and assists (576) in Kansas history.
Mason is the first Jayhawk in the history of the Kansas program to rank sixth or higher in both categories.
New dorm wing expanding gender-inclusive community
- DARBY VANHOUTAN
@darbyvanhoutan
A University community that started as just a work group in 2015 before transforming into a couple rooms in 2016 has now become a full wing of Lewis Hall.
The Gender Inclusive Housing (GIH) wing, which will house an estimated 20 individuals and is made up of suite-style four person rooms, is full for the upcoming academic year with a waiting list to boot. This, Student Housing Director Diana Robertson said, shows the need for a community like this one.
"We've talked about it over the years but never had a sense that there was a particular interest or need yet. When it began to percolate from the students, before it was mostly our staff wondering if we should do it," Robertson said. "Finally it was our students saying, 'Hello, we want this,' and that's when we're going to act on it."
The work group, spearheaded by housing along with the Sexuality and Gender Diversity (SGD) office staff, spent 2015 creating a gender-inclusive housing proposal that was presented to Robertson the following year. The proposal was a success but was put into action after a majority of students had signed up for other housing, Robertson said.
Elise Wantling, a sophomore from St. Charles, Missouri, is one such student who missed the advertisement last year. Wantling's year in Student Housing was a good one spent in a single room at GSP, she said, but getting there wasn't easy.
"Having a single room was cool, but it did suck that I missed the opportunity to live with a roommate all because I couldn't find someone who was open-minded," Wantling said. "Especially because once I got to KU I met a lot of open-minded people that said, 'Oh, I would have lived with you had I
known you."
The people Wantling met before arriving last fall were ones she communicated with through the University's roommate application.
During conversations with individuals she met on the app, where listing things like sexuality isn't permitted in order to prevent discrimination, Wantling said she chose to disclose that she is gay to prevent aggression or awkwardness later on. This, she said, wasn't always met with acceptance.
"I had a lot of people turn me down just because of my sexuality," Wantling said. "I had one girl who said, 'My mom doesn't want me to live with anyone that's gay,' and another one that was like, 'Well, my boyfriend might have a problem with that.'"

"Students who want to live in a gender inclusive area, this is taking them out of harm's way," Wantling said. "It's also not putting them in any position where they're not being marginalized but actually being treated with respect towards them and their needs."
Editorial adviser Gerri Berendzen
According to Robertson, there are no set plans to expand larger than the Lewis Hall wing. However, regardless of size, Wantling said, the fact that the University created a safe community for "individuals that don't fit a norm" is a step in the right direction.
KANSAN.COM/NEWS | MONDAY, JUNE 26, 2017

What a number of faculty members are scaling back are some of those aspects that may be seen as terribly controversial," Barrett Gonzalez said. "The chill that we are in seeing in an active, open and honest discourse is a continuous slide that, in my opinion, is an affront to our First Amendment and academic freedom."
This is especially true for classes that cover controversial topics. Professor Cécile Accilien, who teaches classes in the African and African-American Studies department, said she is concerned that this chilling effect will impact the quality of her classes.

"At a conscious and subconscious level, I think it will be very hard for me to be the same passionate teacher that I was this past semester," she said. "It's not just about my safety, but the safety of the other students in the class. (...) My students may become less critical thinkers. I will push them less and, in terms of my teaching, it will change."
According to a 2015 Docking Institute survey on campus carry, 82 percent of faculty members don't support campus carry and 61 percent said it
would affect their decision to work at the University.
CHANGING CLASSROOM PRACTICES
Barrett Gonzalez said campus carry has driven some professors to rethink the way they teach.
One option is using online classes or hybrid classes for faculty and students who may not feel comfortable in a classroom with potentially armed peers, Barrett Gonzalez said. For example, he plans to offer virtual versions of his classroom lectures.
"I understand that a nontrivial number of students are uneasy being in a classroom where their classmates may be armed," he said. "To accommodate to the students, I'm working to offer a virtual Dr. Barrett."
Other faculty members are taking more drastic steps. English professor Maryemma Graham said she won't be teaching classes this semester, but instead will focus on the other aspects of her job, like research and mentoring.
In addition, she said that she has begun looking for a new job outside the University.
"What we are doing at colleges and universities is helping people change
and transform into the best people they can be," Graham said. "Our job is to create a space where that's done as safely, openly and honestly as possible. So when you start using the word concealed it's the opposite of that."
Accilien said she is considering adjusting or not offering her office hours. According to the University's concealed carry website, professors are only allowed to keep guns out of their offices if they have adequate security measures, which would include metal detectors and armed personnel at the entrance.
"I wouldn't be comfortable having a student who's drunk come to my office and bring their alcohol," she said. "To me, it's the same thing."
The Board of Regents policy does allow faculty members in a single office to lock their doors, as long as it doesn't interfere with office hours.
GUIDANCE FROM ADMINISTRATION
Aside from the information provided on the concealed carry website and in the information sessions hosted by the University, the only guidance faculty have received is
information on suggested syllabus language, University spokesperson Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said in an email.
She said the suggested syllabus language "included detailed wording for courses that have labs and field trips." It also had information for professors who require students to store their backpacks and belongings away from them during tests or lab.

not stand up against this as a whole, only faculty and students did, so we didn't have the leadership to make it really clear that they were trying their best for the students," Graham said. "All along the assumption has been that there's nothing you can do about it, and that's the problem I have."
"A lot of people aren't thinking about their position and privilege. Unfortunately I don't have that luxury to not think about my position as a women, as a person of color, I'm an immigrant," she said. "Too many people aren't thinking about all of the different aspects of this."

Some departments have taken it upon themselves to provide training or information, including Accilien's, which had the department meet with the Public Safety Office.
Accilien said it's disappointing that some people don't think campus carry is a big deal. To her, it means they aren't thinking about the vulnerable people who are either marginalized or aren't legally allowed to carry guns, like international students, faculty and students under 21.

Gollwitzer: 'Sense8,' now canceled by Netflix, was a rare show of true diversity in media
TV
OUT OF ORDER
Tv
LINDSEY GOLLWITZER @KansanNews
Illustration by Roxy Townsend
The only television show to truly break cultural norms will not be renewed by Netflix.
T. V. shows have gotten used to meeting a certain diversity quota in order to appease liberal audiences. Every popular show includes the token gay friend or "cool black friend" to distract from an overwhelmingly straight, white-washed cast.
"Sense8," a television series that debuted in 2015, tackles these narrow portrayals of diversity head-on. The drama follows the lives of eight individuals who are emotionally, mentally and physically connected to each other. The show contains the usual sciifi and drama narratives that are common to see.
on to include a feminist Indian chemist, Icelandic DJ, an African bus driver, a German thief and a Korean martial arts specialist.
While it may seem like a typical plot, each character is unique enough to add a new layer of interest to the show. It is refreshing to see a straight, white, cisgender male cop experiencing the emotions of a transgender, lesbian woman and a gay, Mexican telenovela star. The character list goes
at times. The characters did not quite fit how audiences view character stereotypes.
Unfortunately, this fresh dose of diversity will be canceled on Netflix after the second season. Despite passionate fans, the viewer base was lower than Netflix had hoped.
I am disappointed that this show was not given the credit it deserved for breaking many barriers that usually aren't discussed. The show opened my mind and even brought me to tears
With the legalization of gay marriage, the Black Lives Matter movement and Trans Lives Matter movements all receiving heavy media coverage in recent years, the United States may seem more progressive than we actually are.
Then it was abandoned before we gave it a chance.
There are certain societal expectations of what it means to be gay, trans, black or a part of any specific minority. Media
normalizes certain categories and stereotypes for unique individuals to squeeze themselves into. Putting people in boxes makes individuals easier for media outlets to cover.
For example, homonormativity is what normalizes one way to be gay. Our culture has turned a sexuality into a lifestyle choice. The stereotype of a fashionable, upper-class, gay best friend is completely acceptable to media audiences. In Lisa Duggan's book, "The New Homonormativity," she explains this concept as
"depoliticized gay culture anchored in domesticity and consumption." The cultures of other minorities in the United States are treated in much the same way.
So, goodbye "Sense8." Thank you for attempting to deconstruct cultural norms and media portrayals of marginalized groups. But most media consumers just couldn't handle the true diversity.

College students arriving at the University can struggle to find their place on campus especially if those students are members of a minority group. Although I do not claim to know the specific struggles of these students, I am certain that they have a more difficult time building a community overall.
To help transgender and gender non-binary students specifically, the University has designated a wing of Lewis Hall to Gender Inclusive Housing. The goal is to create a safe and supportive living community for these students. All available spaces have been

reserved, and there is a wait list.
Creating this genderinclusive housing will make the University more welcoming and appealing to students who otherwise might worry about receiving judgment for their gender identity. Living around students with similar experiences can ensure that those students do not feel alone on this vast campus.
One of my concerns,
When oppressed individuals convene as a group, targeted harassment becomes easier. We see this at mosques, synagogues and even in gender-neutral bathrooms, just to name a few places.
however, is that students living in the genderinclusive wing may be targeted at their on-campus residence. Although the University will require students living in the genderinclusive wing to sign an agreement that prevents them from revealing the identity of other residents, students aware of the housing setup who do not support transgender rights may see the grouping as an opportunity to target these individuals in a centralized location.
I have personally heard people make fun of transgender individuals and seen students at the University snicker after they walked past a transgender student.
This harassment is not inconsequential. According to the National Transgender Discrimination Survey, 41 percent of transgender and gender nonbinary individuals have attempted suicide, and 15 percent have left a school (either K-12 or higher education), at least in part, because of harassment like this.
Tr ans gender and gender nonbinary individuals should not have to fear discrimination and harassment, but unfortunately in our society, they often experience it.
To prevent the potential targeting of the gender-inclusive wing of
Lewis Hall, the University must put protections into place in the form of strict punishment for any student that attempts to harass the residents. It must be made clear to students that harassing other students for their gender identity is unacceptable and intolerable.
College is a place to make lifelong friends and connections and to continue the ongoing process of self-discovery; that is a unifying idea for all students regardless of identity. Ideally, all students could live together comfortably and respect the differences that make us all unique. But we do not live in an ideal society, so for the safety and comfort of transgender and gender non-binary students, designated genderinclusive housing is an invaluable option.
Based on the Gender Inclusive Housing's frequently asked questions page, there are no specific guidelines or rules to advise situations like this at Lewis Hall.

Four lads from South Yorkshire, England, who make up the band Alvarez Kings will stop at the Riot Room in Kansas City this Wednesday, June 28 as a part of its U.S. tour.
Alvarez Kings was founded in 2008 and has described itself as an alternative pop group. The group was originally brothers Paul and Simon Thompson. It added drummer Richard Walker and then guitarist Sean Parkin.
"Simon asked me to join and I originally said no," Parkin said. "Then he took me up to Sheffield one Christmas about five years ago, got me very drunk and made me agree to do a European tour."
The band released an EP in 2015 called "Fear to Feel" that received 40,000 streams in less than 12 hours on Spotify. Its latest album, "Somewhere Between," is its first full-length studio album and was released in April of 2017.
The current tour across the United States is the band's first as a headliner. It has previously gone on tour as a part of the Vans Warped Tour in 2013 and 2014,
and has served as the opener for other groups.
"When you do support tours it's great because you're introduced to new audiences," Parkin said. "But with this, everyone knows your music, they know the album and they come to see you perform that which is humbling if anything, but really cool
to actually get to meet everyone."
Tiffany Bello, a fan and Leawood resident first saw the band during its 2013 Vans Warped Tour stint and is going to see it again this year.
"They were great," Bello said. "They had so much energy, they were very interactive
with the crowd and very welcoming and friendly. They have catchy music that makes you want to dance around, but there is this other part that just makes you completely enjoy the whole vibe from them."
The performance is what Parkin said is the most important aspect
and the thing it prides itself on.
"Ultimately, we just want to go out there and be good musicians," Parkin said. "We play it tight, play it well and perform well. That's our day-to-day life. We absolutely put every bit of effort into every show and convey the emotion that
is coming out in the lyrics and just rock out."
The concert is at the Riot Room's outdoor stage and will feature the band Late Night Cavalry as the opening act. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the venue is 21 years or older. General admission tickets are on sale for $10.
First concert in free series takes up 1000 block of Mass
The 1000 block of Massachusetts Street was blocked off on Saturday for the first-ever "Live on Mass" concert, hosted by The Granada and Eleven Productions.
Kansas City-based band The Get Up Kids headlined the concert, preceded by three acts that all have strong ties to the region. Duo Lili Pryor (daughter of The Get Up Kids' frontman Matt Pryor) & Iris Hyde kicked off the concert, followed by solo artist Kawehi, a Lawrence native, and then Kansas City band Making Movies.
"This show definitely has a home-grown, organic feel to it," said Live on Mass organizer and Granada owner Mike Logan. "It's a pretty special way to start it off."

Chiefs extend coach Reid's contract, fire GM Dorsey
▶ WESLEY DOTSON
@WesDotsonUDK
the whirlwind offseason continues for the Kansas City Chiefs.
After signing coach Andy Reid to a contract extension on Thursday, the Chiefs decided to fire general manager John Dorsey a half-hour later.
Reid, 59, was entering the final year of a five-year deal he signed in 2013. In four seasons, he has led the Chiefs to a 64-43 record, including an AFC West title last season.
As for Dorsey, Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said he decided not to extend Dorsey's contract beyond the 2017 season.
"I notified John that we would not be extending his contract beyond the 2017 season, and after consideration, we felt it was in his best interests and the best interests of the team to part ways now," Hunt said in a statement.
However, ESPN's Adam Schefter said in a tweet that the decision was solely made by the Chiefs.
Last week, Dorsey infamously released wide receiver Jeremy Maclin — a favorite of Reid's — on Friday via voicemail mail while Maclin was flying to former teammate Fletcher Cox's football camp.
Maclin signed with the Baltimore Ravens on a two-year deal the following Monday.
Dorsey is the third general manager to be fired this offseason, following Washington's Scot McCloughan and the Buffalo Bills' Doug Whaley.

Josh Jackson selected No.4 overall by Phoenix Suns

Freshman guard Josh Jackson attempts a shot from under the basket against Oklahoma on Feb. 27. Jackson was drafted No.4 overall in the NBA draft by the Phoenix Suns.
▶ WESLEY DOTSON
@WesDotsonUDK
As expected, former Kansas guard Josh Jackson became a lottery pick on Thursday night.
The Phoenix Suns selected Jackson with the No. 4 overall pick during the 2017 NBA Draft.
Jackson will join a Suns team that was in desperate need of a small forward. The only true small
forwards on the roster last season were T.J. Warren and Derrick Jones Jr.
Warren and Jones combined to average a mere 19.4 points and 7.6 rebounds per game last season.
"I think I can bring a lot of defensive versatility, offensive versatility," Jackson said to ESPN after he heard his name called. "I can guard one through four on the defensive end, and I can also play one through four on the offensive end."
Jackson, who chose not to work out for the Boston Celtics due to scheduling conflicts, said his decision might have affected his draft position.
However, Jackson said he is thrilled with where he ultimately landed.
"You know, I'm here today,I'm happy, I'm glad to be a Phoenix Sun now."
Jackson said.
The Celtics traded the No.1 pick to the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. Boston picked Duke's Jayson Tatum with the No.3 pick.
Jackson, the Big 12 Freshman of the Year, averaged 16.3 points,7.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and posted a Kansas freshman record 13 double-doubles this past season at Kansas.
Although former Kansas center Landen Lucas wasn't drafted in Thursday's NBA draft, he'll still be a part of an NBA franchise - at least for the summer.
Lucas announced in a tweet on Friday that he will play for the Boston Celtics in this year's NBA Summer League. "Excited to play with the Boston Celtics for summer league," Lucas said in the tweet. "Thank you for the opportunity."
He considered five offers to play on NBA summer league teams before deciding on the Celtics, according to the Kansas City Star.
Lucas averaged 8.0 points and 8.3 rebounds per game this past season at Kansas.
Dzwierzynski: Improving Memorial Stadium is purely beneficial, regardless of proposed $300 million cost
UNIVERSITY OF CARY FOOTBALL STADium
BRENDAN DZWIERZYNSKI
@BrendanDzw
Kansas Athletics announced that a $300 million renovation will be coming to Memorial Stadium, which will include an indoor practice facility and infrastructure upgrades.
As the old saying goes, "you need to spend money to make money." In college athletics, the same general principle applies. This is why Kansas spending $300 million on Memorial Stadium renovations and other football-related projects is a fantastic move for the long-term future of the program.
For many of us, Memorial Stadium is a special place, where many Saturday afternoonoons have been spent cheering for the Jayhawks through thick and, unfortunately, a lot of thin moments. But, it's impossible to argue that the stadium doesn't need improvements.
It's the seventh-oldest stadium still used by an FBS team. It shows signs of wear across its exterior. It's severely outdated by contemporary standards.
It's undoubtedly time for an upgrade.
This is a great move for all interested parties. For the fans, it's going to enhance the game-day experience for the die hards who trek down the hill to see the Jayhawks play. For the players, specifically future recruits, it becomes a more inviting and
welcoming place to play. For Kansas football as a whole, it's a sign that the program is truly dedicated to improving.
When Kansas Athletics director Sheahon Zenger announced the plan on Wednesday, the first thing that jumped out was the price tag for the project. It's important, however, to not get caught up in the $300 million cost to renovate, because it's not as if that's money that would have otherwise been spent on something else at the University.
Discussing college athletics finances is a great way to find out that someone has absolutely no idea what they're talking about. Kansas football isn't going to use $300 million that otherwise would have gone to improving the School of Education or updating equipment in the School of Journalism or whichever department you feel is underfunded.
Things like the Williams Fund and private donors are main sources of income for supporting Kansas Athletics projects. It's understandable that seeing a huge sum of money being spent on football facilities could cause a stir, considering the financial straits the University might be facing in some areas. The reality, though, is that this money will be completely disconnected from the rest of the University.
Alabama is a perfect case study for this. A gold standard for college football, the Crimson Tide's on-field success has generated an unconscious amount of money
Football is a massive tool for recruiting (both athletically and for general students), alumni relations and income, and if you don't see that then you simply aren't paying attention.
and publicity for that school. It's unrealistic for Kansas, or really any program, to think it can reach Alabama's level of success, but it's clear that improving football will improve the University in other areas.
Again, you need to spend money in order to make it. Putting money into the program now, or at least in the near future, will show dedication to the program and is going to help bring in more high-level recruits over time. The football team needs to get better, and this move will
Most of the arguments against the spending come up baseless and sound unintelligent. The money isn't being stolen from other University programs. Memorial Stadium is nearly 100 years old - it needs to be repaired and updated.
help in that pursuit.
And if your argument is based around asking why you would spend $300 million to help a football team that won two games in the last two seasons combined, take a moment and think critically.
Why wouldn't you spend money to try to improve the program? What else would you do, just ignore the disaster and let the team fall into irreparable ruin? That notion is ridiculous and poorly thought out at best.
The cost of this project is a small price to pay for improving the team, and subsequently the University, over time. Don't get caught up in the price tag or the view from your ivory tower. Trying to better the football team is better for all of us who support the University.

Health risks not deterring people from tanning
---

@Chandler_Boese

For many people, one of the best parts about the summer heat is getting some color on one's skin. But the health costs to tanning can sometimes outweigh the benefits.
For decades, multiple campaigns have been successful in increasing awareness of the correlation between tanning and skin cancer, but individuals are still intentionally tanning regularly. Dr. Pavika Saripalli, a physician specializing in internal medicine and pediatrics at Watkins Health Center, says she still frequently sees students come in for skin abnormalities related to sun exposure.
"We do see a lot of people who are starting to get the weird moles and freckles and don't know if they should have them removed or not," she said. "So being in your 20s is not too soon to start getting your skin checked and getting stuff removed."
Skin cancer affects one out of every five people in the U.S., according to statistics from the Skin Cancer Foundation, and 90 percent of those cases are due to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. In fact, a 2014 study found that it's more likely for tanning to cause skin cancer than it is for cigarettes to cause lung cancer.
Despite the risks, though, tanning is still exceedingly common. Ninety percent of women in the U.S. see tanned skin as desirable
and 10 percent of the overall population tans indoors, which is typically seen as a more dangerous form of tanning.
For strategic communication professor Yvonne Chen, who has done research into anti-tanning and anti-tobacco marketing strategies, there's a large gap between knowing something's dangerous and actually stopping use of it. Bridging that gap with tanning won't be an easy or simple task.
"The key to understand the barriers when it comes to: why do they still think they want to tan, what are the benefits that they perceive, what are the barriers that keep them from putting on sunscreen...," she said. "Having that knowledge can sometimes be helpful, but sometimes it's not guaranteed that it will affect perception or prevent behavior."
The drawback to tanning goes beyond just the risk of skin cancer, though.
Nationally, treating skin cancer costs $8.1 billion yearly, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, and tanning can lead to early wrinkles.
For those who do choose
"The people who have the worst skin as they get older, not just health-wise, but cosmetically, are generally the people who tanned the most when they were young," Saripalli said. "So you're trading short-term attractiveness for looking old faster."
to tan, getting moles and other skin irregularities checked out by a medical professional is extremely important, as it's hard to tell the severity of a mole simply by looking at one. This is the method taken by many University students, Saripalli said.
"What I see is that, when people are young, they are more thinking about tanning, and then when they get their first mole or freckle or something, they kind of begin to realize, OK,
now I'm having the negative effect of sun," Saripalli said. "I'm not sure changes their behavior with sun exposure, I think they're just coming in to see us more and have us look at all their moles and want them removed."
To prevent sun damage, regularly reapply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above, Saripalli said. Additionally, avoiding the sun, wearing clothes with more coverage and staying inside in the middle of the day will help greatly.

Take a look at the weirdest foods in Lawrence
I'll just use the text as a placeholder. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text, so I will output it as it appears.
**Image:** A sandwich on a plate with no visible text.
Harold's Chicken, Whiskey and Donuts, located at 918 Massachusetts Street, serves a Grilled Donut Burger and a Grilled Glazer Sandwich, both served on glazed doughnuts.
Missy Minear/KANSAN
BRIANNA CHILDERS @breeanuhh3
Lawrence is a place that lends itself to weird and unusual pieces of Midwestern culture. A massive part of that, undoubtedly, is the food throughout town.
Foods from almost any place in the world, or from any culture, can find a niché in Lawrence. The Kansan found some of the most unique dishes in the Lawrence community and learned the stories behind them.
HAROLD'S GRILLED
GLAZER SANDWICH
Harold's was created for lovers of chicken, whiskey and doughnuts. So it's no surprise that one of the restaurant's weirdest and most popular food items includes two other menu options.
The Grilled Glazer Sandwich is made up of a piece of fried chicken, cheddar cheese, Harold's secret sauce and, to top it off, it all goes in between two glazed doughnuts.
Harold's also has a Double Donut Burger which has two hamburger patties, cheddar cheese, Harold's secret sauce and it's placed between two glazed donuts.
Katie Chamberlin, assistant manager at Harold's, said that these two items are some of their top sellers. She said the taste of the burger patty and doughnut bun is a good combination of sweet and salty.
"People are surprised," Chamberlin said. "They
would never ordinarily order something like that, but almost everyone loves it."
Customers also receive a side with their sandwich or burger, including fries, mac and cheese, or mashed potatoes and gravy.
Luckily for customers, these menu items are around all year long.
HANK'S SAUSAGE AND TOAST
Hank Charcuterie has been in Lawrence for three years. Its seasonal menu items might catch the eye of customers dining in, especially an item on its current menu: rabbit sausage and bone marrow toast.
Jamie Everett,chef de cuisine at Hank, said that the idea to place the item on the menu occurred after the restaurant served it at an event and the response from people was really good.
Everett said that the dish includes bread from 1900 Barker Bakery, wooly rind cheese, spicy spring greens mustard vinaigrette, rabbit jus, and rabbit sausage.
"We get in local rabbits, break it down, and grind it up with a little bit of pork fat, roasted garlic and herbs, slice it real thin and sear it off in a pan," he said.
Everett said that the rabbit sausage has a very mild flavor and that a lot of people say it tastes like chicken.
As for the bone marrow, Everett said that they roast meat bones off and save the marrow and put it on top of the dish, which adds a savory flavor.
"Everybody loves it," Everett said. "We sell quite a few and there is nothing super game-y in it."
WAKE THE DEAD'S DEATH
STAR SANDWICH AND
BIZARRE COCKTAILS
Wake the Dead likes to follow the motto "coffee until cocktails."
Dante Colombo, manager of Wake the Dead, said they want people to have coffee until they are ready for something stronger.

twist. It includes egg, fontina cheese, a choice of ham or bacon, lettuce, tomato, and the chef's special sauce. The whole thing is placed between an unglazed donut.
Deanna Vierling, an employee at Wake the Dead, said that the sandwich is really popular among customers.
"I have had a few people tell me they get it every time they come in, but a lot of people are like 'Oh, I have to try it,'" she said.
As for unique drinks, Wake the Dead also has Cereal Killer Cocktails, with flavors including Fruit Loops, Frosted Flakes, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Vierling said that the
Cinnamon Toast Crunch cocktail is the most popular and that it tastes a lot like the leftover milk from the cereal.

"I have had people order them and they will drink one and say, "This is really
good; it's really sweet so I'm not going to stick with it, but I'm really happy I tried it," she said.
Colombo said a lot of their menu items are based off of the concept of doing something fun that Lawrence hasn't seen before.
"We are one of Lawrence's only downtown doughnut shops, but we wanted to focus a large part of our food menu on doughnuts," he said.
Colombo said that it's a fun place and fun idea.
"We wanted something that was Instagram-able and kind of fun so we wanted to play off the bar vibe and keep the energy rolling," he said.

No Matter Where We Go - Whitney
Christian Hardy/KANSAN
I'm not sure if it's only me, but there is a deep association with summer and road trips. Whitney's debut album, Light Upon the Lake, as a whole, feels like a soundtrack for a roadtrip. That's most apparent on this track, when lead singer Julien Ehrlich sings in his falsetto on the chorus, "I can take you out / I wanna drive around / With you with the windows down." It's the most romantic ballad on the ten-track album, which is otherwise full of gut-punching realities of relationships among smooth and glossy instrumentals.
Cut to the Feeling- Carly Rae Jepsen
This track was Best New Music on Pitchfork at the beginning of the summer for a reason - it's an excellent display of Jepsen's 1980s pop sound and an entirely bright and joyous song. Though this song didn't make the cut for Jepsen's 2015 album "Emotion", it absolutely has to be in your summer playlist.

American Pie-Don McLean
I think this is a really good summer song and if you know the story behind it — it's about Buddy Holly — then that makes it an even better song. It has a good rhythm and beat to it. It's a really long song but then again, you don't find many songs like that anymore.
BRITTANIE SMITH ARTS WRITER
It's about having a good time and it has a great beat, and that's what summer is all about — grinding through the week day to make it to the weekend. Plus, having DJ Khaled and Drake on one song makes it an automatic banger.

It has a great beat and is a song that I love listening to while driving down to the beach. It's up beat and fun and not too complicated, but a great listen.

If you want to go old school for the faculty, Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys is No. 1. No matter where you are, this song takes you to the beach and you just can't help but sing along.

Discussing college athletics finances is a great way to find out that someone has absolutely no idea what they're talking about. Kansas football isn't going to use $300 million that otherwise would have gone to improving the School of Education or updating equipment in the School of Journalism or whichever department you feel is underfunded.
Things like the Williams Fund and private donors are main sources of income for supporting Kansas Athletics projects. It's understandable that seeing a huge sum of money being spent on football facilities could cause a stir, considering the financial straits the University might be facing in some areas. The reality, though, is that this money will be completely disconnected from the rest of the University.
Football is a massive tool for recruiting (both athletically and for general students), alumni relations and income, and if you don't see that then you simply aren't paying attention.
Alabama is a perfect case study for this. A gold standard for college football, the Crimson Tide's on-field success has generated an unconscionable amount of money
and publicity for that school. It's unrealistic for Kansas, or really any program, to think it can reach Alabama's level of success, but it's clear that improving football will improve the University in other areas.
Again, you need to spend money in order to make it. Putting money into the program now, or at least in the near future, will show dedication to the program and is going to help bring in more high-level recruits over time. The football team needs to get better, and this move will
help in that pursuit.
Most of the arguments against the spending come up baseless and sound unintelligent. The money isn't being stolen from other University programs. Memorial Stadium is nearly 100 years old — it needs to be repaired and updated.
And if your argument is based around asking why you would spend $300 million to help a football team that won two games in the last two seasons combined, take a moment and think critically.
Why wouldn't you spend money to try to improve the program? What else would you do, just ignore the disaster and let the team fall into irreparable ruin? That notion is ridiculous and poorly thought out at best.
The cost of this project is a small price to pay for improving the team, and subsequently the University, over time. Don't get caught up in the price tag or the view from your ivory tower. Trying to better the football team is better for all of us who support the University.

Free State Festival will focus on films, activism this year

The Free State Festival is returning to its roots.
The Lawrence Arts Center's annual festival almost didn't happen this year due to reduced funding. Rather than cancel the festival altogether, curator Marlo Angell decided to trim programming to be more film-centric, a nod to the festival's short film origins.
"We decided it would be a wonderful year to go back to our film-centric roots and to really explore what was part of the festival in its origination," she said.
Fewer films will be a part of the festival's programming this year, and there won't be a free outdoor concert like at previous festivals. But attendees will still be able to experience a full week of film (both locally and nationally made), comedy, music and ideas.
The festival will kick off this Tuesday with a showing of the documentary "Whose Streets," which examines the Ferguson, Missouri, uprising, at Liberty Hall. A community discussion moderated by Rev. Verdell Taylor of St. Luke A.M.E. with African American studies professor Clarence Lang and activist Jamala Rogers will follow the screening.
Activism is a theme of this year's festival. A number of films and discussions will be centered on themes of social justice and community resistance, including "Dolores," a documentary about labor rights leader Dolores Huerta that will screen this Thursday, followed by a free concert with Los Angeles-based band Chicano Batman.
"This year it was kind of organic that the programming solidified around that theme," Angell said. "It's just kind of the times that we're in. We're in a time in our history that people are wanting to become more engaged politically, and also just in their communities. They're wanting to step up, they're wanting to dialogue, and they're wanting a platform to discuss what's

on their mind, and that's why this year's program was really geared toward activism."
Festival goers are also invited to attend daily "Happy Hour Salons" at downtown area restaurants to discuss the day's programming.
Free State Film Festival board member and University lecturer Laura Kirk will moderate a discussion on Wednesday about women in comedy Five Bar and Tables. A performance by Comedy
Central comedian and University graduate Nikki Glaser will follow.
Each film's screening will be followed by a community discussion featuring festival visitors and Lawrence residents who are knowledgeable about this film's subject matter. In the cases of "The Tree," "Lane 1974," the filmmakers will be on hand to answer questions after the screening.
"I think it's really important to see films in audiences,"
Kirk said. "I know that's not the trend now, but I think it's important, especially with topical films, that we see them together and talk about them."
The Free State Film Festival will start this Tuesday, June 27, and go until July 2. Tickets for each event are available on the Free State Festival website, freestatefestival.org, where a full schedule of programming is available as well.
