BASKETBALL
(CONTINUED FROM 10B)
Seniors Taylor McIntosh and Jamie Boyd were honored before and after Wednesday night's game for their four-year contributions to Kansas basketball.
Jayhawk fans stayed in the stands after the final buzzer for a presentation to each player at half court. Coach Bonnie Henrickson greeted the players with a framed jersey, cheerleaders tossed roses and every player came out to thank McIntosh and Boyd.
THE STARTING LINE

Twelfth Night
Ask the modern layman about Shakespeare and you're bound to hear something about stuffy soliloquies, lofty language and boring spiels about honor. Even I, an English major who is taking a class on Shakespeare, went into the KU Theatre's production of Twelfth Night thinking that my only weapon against dozing off would be the bottle of tea I smuggled in with me.
Twelfth Night is a two-hour riot fueled by sexual innuendoes, mistaken identities and gender role reversals. And to enhance the hilarity, the KU Theatre folks have set Shakespeare's later play in prohibition-era New Orleans, complete with prostitutes and righteous praachers. It's Shakespeare with a southern accent, Elizabethan courtiness with swamp-soaked feet.
A bunch of colorful and well cast characters are after the wealth or love of sassy sugar-mama Lady Olivia (DeAndrea Beatrice Herron). There's Viola (Jordan White), who is disguised as a man to avoid enemies and is trying to play matchmaker for her lady, Orsino (Amy Virginia Buchanan; casting Orsino as a woman diverges from the Shakespeare version and adds a homoerotic
(wist) Viola competes with the effeminate southern gentleman Sir Andrew (Spencer Holdren), who has been coudling with Sir Toby, a drunkard who wants his share of the pie. Then there is Malvolio (Garrett Kelly), the servant who is duped into believing that his lady, Olivia, has fallen for him.
The rule to the chaos is that those who want love have a hell of a time finding it, and those not looking have it plop into their unassuming lap. But of course, as in any traditional comedy, things have a way of working out in the end.
The play runs through this weekend at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. A student ticket costs $10.
Erica Heiden and Brandon Froelich
Brandon Froelich, Lansing senior, and Erica Heiden, Des Moines, Iowa senior; lived on the 10th floor of Ellisworth Hall their freshman year. They first met at a Hawk Week poster sale. Heiden asked Froelich to hold a poster then walked away from him. "I guess I was kind of a bitch to him. Looking back on it, I don't know why." Heiden says.
Her feelings quickly changed when they had their first kiss in his dorm room. They started dating in October when they went to see an animated movie. Three and a half years later, they are still going strong.
