Students, groups ready homecoming murals on Wescoe

Representatives of several University student groups, fraternities and sororities proudly displayed their organizations' murals on Wescoe Beach Thursday afternoon as part of this year's homecoming competition.
Elizabeth Miller, a senior from St. Louis, helped create the Student Union Activities mural, which featured postcards with various University icons including the World War II Memorial Campanile.
"I like to paint in my free time. It's kind of a stress reliever," Miller said. "It's just something fun to do to get publicity out for SUA and participate in the tradition."
The mural contest was judged by University faculty and staff, which included Joy Maxwell, a 2003 graduate of Kansas and assistant director of Kansas City programs for the University's Alumni Association.
"I'm just looking for creativity — something that's original that goes with the theme," Maxwell said. "It's a great way to bring students together."
Each organization was given a three-by-two-foot canvas on which they could paint anything related to the homecoming theme, "From Lawrence with Love." This year's murals ranged from secret agent Jayhawks to University students sharing love letters.
The Student Alumni Leadership Board took first place in the student life division and Alpha Delta Pi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon won in the Greek life division. Liz Sperbeck, a senior from Eden Prairie, Minn., and campus outreach chairwoman, said that the mural contest collected donations that contributed to homecoming week's fundraising effort for the United Way. Students, faculty and staff could support the mural they enjoyed the most by placing money in correspondent buckets near the paintings. "We have seen some new groups, and some groups who've competed in the past step-up a little bit more," Sperbeck said. "Wed always love more, but we're definitely pleased."

Sara Finesilver, a sophomore from Boulder, Colo., finishes up the design for Sigma Delta Tau in the Chalk 'n Rock contest Wednesday afternoon on Westcoast Beach. "We have been working on this design all day long, since 10 a.m.," Finesilver said.

Shea Geyer (left), a Kappa Delta and junior from Dallas, and Paul Massall (right) a freshman from Leawood, Kan., begin working on their design for the Chalk 'n Rock contest on Wescoe Beach Wednesday afternoon. "This was originally a *a*-shirt design and we wanted to incorporate something from Lawrence in each letter." Geyer said.
final set Clearinghouse has had ample time to dig around and make a ruling.
I'm not arguing for the eligibility or non-eligibility of the remaining two players.
I'm urging for a ruling.
In the weeks leading up to tax day on April 1, places like H&R Block hire hundreds of part-time employees to lighten the heavy load pushed upon them in tax season. It makes sense. I'm no math major, but the number of incoming freshmen this time of year — in every sport, not just football and basketball — is a pretty significant number. And if I'm not mistaken, most high schools graduate around the same time of the year. Why not hire a truckload of extra help in the summer so guys like Justin Hunter and the Kansas duo can get an answer before they turn 30?
I'm arguing for a ruling.
Maybe H&R Block can show the Clearinghouse how to handle a rush. They deal with the IRS; it can't be much worse.
remaining on the game clock and the game on the line. On third and six from their own 30-yard line, Texas Tech stunned everyone — including the Kansas defense — by running a draw play to their running back Taurean Henderson.
Henderson ran up the middle and didn't stop until he reached the end zone for a 70-yard go-ahead touchdown run. Texas Tech took a 31-30 lead with which they would eventually win.

The loss was an epic collapse and an embarrassment to the program. The Jayhawks have not been able to shake the loss against Texas Tech, as they've gone on to lose four consecutive games to the Red Riders.
The losses haven't been ordinary, either. Kansas has allowed 30 points or more in

pact on this ball game," Gill said. "We're looking at their team and what they're doing in 2011 and we're looking at what we're doing here in 2011."
What's happened thus far in 2011 does not bode well for the Jayhawks.
Texas Tech's offensive numbers, while not quite what they used to be, are still very daunting, as the Red Raiders average 523.3 yards of offense per game.
Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said that, although he doesn't have the same running capabilities, Red Raiders' quarterback junior
to be ominous when taking a glance at what the Kansas defense has done in 2011, ranking last in the nation by allowing an average of 550 yards per game.
So when the Jayhawks take the field Saturday against Texas Tech, the odds will be against them to break the four-game losing skid. To overcome those odds, they'll have to have a defensive game plan that has not yet been seen in the previous matchups against the Red Raiders.
"You've got to be able to pressure the quarterback to get him out of rhythm," Shealy said. "In three ball games, they've had 21 passes for over 20 yards. You've got to limit that big play, and no one's done it. Hopefully we can do it."

Facing a threatening offense, Kansas will need a new defensive strategy to beat Texas Tech.
The Jayhawks have lost the last four games against the Red Raiders.
