Scholarship Halls
The Scholarship Halls include 12 buildings, six for males and six for females, based on the principle of cooperative living. Students cook and clean for their halls in exchange for a reduced housing rate.
Students do not need a scholarship to live in the halls, but the selection process is competitive based on GPA and test scores. To apply, students must have two references and complete two essays.
"It's a greater sense of community dedication to doing well in school, community service and social activities," said Hannah Jayne, a desk assistant at Crawford.
Javhawker Towers
The Jayhawker Towers consist of four apartment complexes located north of Allen Fieldhouse. The Towers are for students with at least 30 credit hours who are interested in living in an on-campus apartment equipped with a small kitchen, cable and carpet, and furniture rental is optional. All rooms are two-bedroom for either two or four students.
"A lot of students like that it combines the style of an apartment with living on campus," said Tiffany Hanchett, a desk assistant at the Jayhawker Towers. "But a downside is that you still have an RA."

The Jayhawks faced tough competition in Las Vegas for the Eller Media Stadium Classic and ended the weekend 3-2 and are now 17-3 on the season. Friday the team split the day recording a 10-7 loss to Bradley and a 3-1 victory against San Jose State. Saturday was split again with a 10-1 loss to UNLV and a 7-6 win against Troy. Sunday the Jayhawks shut out San Diego, 7-0.
"We just didn't come out as the same team that we have been playing all year. We came out really dry, just not focused, not locked into what we were doing," sophomore Maggie Hull said.
"We did the same things we did the other weekends but Saturday we just were not as intense as the other teams," coach Megan Smith said. "We didn't pick up that intensity level until the sixth inning against Troy. That was the key for us this weekend, we just didn't
Saturday was the team's toughest day. It was not the same team that had started 13-0.
The lack of intensity was apparent against UNLV. The Runnin' Rebels put up two runs on four hits in the bottom of the first inning and then pulled away with six more runs in the third. They took advantage of three walks and two hit by pitches.
Kansas' sole run was a single by sophomore Mariah Montgomery to plate senior Brittany Hile. During the bottom of the fourth she made a strong defensive play catching a runner stealing. The Jayhawks also benefited from a force out at third. However, it was not enough to end the innings. The Rebels responded to the two outs by loading the bases and scoring two more runs to end the contest 10-1 in five innings.
have any intensity."
The evening game against Troy showed Kansas' ability to fight back. The team had one hit in the first five innings but then scored two runs on three hits in the top of the sixth. After the first six innings, they trailed 5-2 then Hile hit a grand slam, her second career

one point, junior guard Tyshawn Taylor passed left, then looked, and the ball soared out of bounds and at Anderson's bench. It was a case of Taylor thinking too much instead of just playing. It was the kind of mental lapse that makes Anderson's Tigers who they are — a team with a disruptive identity.
"Never heard of nice things from Missouri coming west," she said.
But molasses and basketball are two different kinds of sweet. I'm not saying you have to like Missouri. You don't have to respect them, either. Just be aware: this program sits far away from the slums of the conference. As difficult a concept to grasp as it may be, it's not all about wins and losses. Basketball isn't black and white. Missouri is climbing an uphill path. And no matter how gradual it may be, it's a positive direction, stemming from Anderson's leadership.
He didn't have much of a game on Saturday, but freshman Phil Pressey will be a cornerstone at the point guard position. Junior guard Marcus Denmon, who averages 16.8 points per game, might be the most improved player in the Big 12. We're still waiting to hear from Ben McLemore, St. Louis, Mo. prospect, who is No. 49 on the ESPNU 100 rankings and is deciding between Missouri and Kansas.
Now Jayhawk fans, hear me out. I commit no treason, nor scribble sinful thoughts. I'm with the old woman from The Outlaw Josey Wales, too. I'll do without molasses from Missouri.
in the Anderson era, Missouri is only 1-10 against Kansas. But going into this season, he was the winningest coach in school history, recording an 88-46 record in his first four seasons at the helm in Columbia, Mo. He led the Tigers to a Big 12 Conference postseason championship and an Elite Eight appearance in 2009 and sent three players from that team, guard J.T. Tiller and forwards DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons, to the NBA.
Not too long ago, that one wouldn't be much of a debate
