Brainstorming has ofcially

begun with the formation of

two coalitions, Jayhawkers and
GrowKU, in expectation of the
spring Student Senate elections.
Te separate meetings
discussed membership
positions and established
coalition names and platform
framework.
Even if they arent running,
its a great forum where students
can voice ideas about what they
want to change and how they
want to improve this already
wonderful community, said
MacKenzie Oatman, a junior
from Wichita with Jayhawkers.
Tis election season will
include the addition of caucuses
and party member meetings
where they choose a president
and vice president candidate
to nominate. Students who
attended the meetings on
Sunday became voting
members of each coalition for
future caucuses.
Jayhawkers
Nearly 70 students were
onboard with the name
Jayhawkers to represent the
historical signifcance and
freedom values the coalition
aims to embody. Out of four
choices, a logo was voted for
by a sea of hands based on its
versatility for spirit wear and
campaign buttons.
I dont want the group-think
mentality, but I just think
everyone is really pumped
up right now, said Kristina
Maude, a sophomore from
Clive, Iowa. I think if there is
an issue that somebody may
not agree with, I hope they do
voice their opinions and come
up aferwards if they think of
something.
Te full room suggested
15 core values to establish a
mission statement: Jayhawkers
is a diverse group of students
dedicated to enhancing
the University of Kansas
community by providing
accountable representation
through transparency and
inclusivity. Aspirations and
bold initiatives will be reached
through open-minded dialogue
principled determination and
collaborative action.
Tree platforms were
determined at preliminary
meetings and presented
for discussion at the
coalition meeting including
conservation, strengthening
community and looking
beyond years at the University.
Isaac Bahney, a sophomore
from Layton, Utah, said he was
relieved the issue of unifying
the dining experience was
included as an initiative under
strengthening dining.
I found that the hours and
choices are limited in Oliver,
Bahney said. I grew up eating
with my family at 7:30 p.m.,
so Im used to eating late. Ive
ended up getting there fve
minutes before they close.
Te election of president and
vice president will be held at
a future caucus and platform
initiatives will continually be
refned.
GrowKU
Seeds were planted to address
basic business, such as a
temporarily approved preamble.
Core values included making
a positive impact, pioneering
inclusiveness, representing and
serving the student body and
challenging the status quo.
Te meeting solidifed the
coalition name and committee
positions for future coalition
business.
I really like the name, said
Tara Rains, a senior from
Oakland, Neb. It can mean
whatever anyone wants it to
mean from the individual to
the institution itself or anything
that falls underneath that.
Garrett Farlow, a freshman
from Tecumseh, said the next
step for the coalition will
be promoting the name so
students can begin to grasp that
the members really care about
growing relationships.
Te caucus to elect the
president and vice president
will be scheduled for the future
in order to move forward with
full campaigning.
Lets continue to grow this
room, said Morgan Said, a
junior from Kansas City, Kan.,
in alignment with the preamble
and name.

Government corruption has spared dangerous protests in Ukraine causing major upset in the city of Kiev.
Request pulled for
eldhhouse apartments
The University made the de-
cision last Tuesday to pull its
legislative request for a bond to
build the proposed $17.5 million
eldhouse apartments building.
It was pretty clear that there
was opposition to it so we
thought that the best course of
action was to seek other ways
to make the project go forward,
said Associate Athletics Director
Jim Marchiony.
The University planned on
using the $17.5 million bond to
fund the project that will mainly
serve as a recruitment tool for
the mens and womens basket-
ball programs and then using
funds from private donations
and revenues from residents in
the eldhouse apartments to
pay off the bond.
I am pretty condent that
the University will nd other
ways in which we can nance
the project, Vice Chancellor of
Public Affairs Tim Caboni said.
Both Caboni and Marchiony did
not provide any details on the
other options that the University
is pursuing in order to fund this
project.
The construction on the two
story 49,500-square-foot build-
ing located near Allen Field-
house will tentatively begin
March or April 2015 and will be
located near Allen Fieldhouse in
the parking lot north of Oliver
Hall. Caboni said he doesnt
believe pulling the bond request
will delay the project.
Sixty-six students will reside
in the eldhouse apartment
building. The residents will
include 32 mens and wom-
ens basketball players and 34
non-athlete students who have
at least 30 credit hours. Marchi-
ony said in a previous interview
that according to NCAA rules
student athletes are not to re-
side in a dorm by themselves
and may not account for more
than 50 percent of the students
that live in the dorm.
The project is alive and well
and we anticipate moving for-
ward with it, Marchiony said.

LAWRENCE
Imagine Washington, D.C.,
engulfed in smoke and fre,
with bodies piling up on the
National Mall and people
barricading the White House
and the Capitol. Imagine
squadrons of riot police
opening fre into crowds of
protesters, who are throwing
rocks and Molotov cocktails.
Tat is what the capital of
Ukraine looks like right now.
I was fortunate enough to
visit Kiev three weeks ago,
from Jan. 28 to Feb. 3, during
a period of relative stability.
Luckily, when I arrived with
my colleagues at Boryspil
International Airport, the
embattled President Viktor
Yanukovych had just taken
a sick day, leaving scores of
protesters in the main square,
Maidan Nezalezhnosti,
waiting for an absolution
from a corrupt government
that they had been opposing
for more than two months.
I traveled to Kiev with
my colleagues Dr. Marc
Greenberg and Dr. Irina Six,
from the Slavic Languages
and Literatures department,
to make contact with
foreign frms so that we may
develop internships and
study abroad programs for
students studying Russian or
Ukrainian.
Walking around Kiev, there
was a strange tension in the
air between my perception of
the city beautiful, stately,
populated with people who
were incredibly warm-hearted
and hospitable and the
masses of protesters gathered
in Maidan, outftted with
armor and pillaged riot gear
and busy building barricades
out of fallen Christmas trees
and razor wire.
We attended a conference
for business consultants,
sponsored by the Gabriel Al-
Salem Foundation. Gabriel
Al-Salem was a KU alumnus
who went on to work as
a consultant in Eastern
Europe and Central Asia.
His commitment to integrity,
his sense of adventure and
his endless perseverance and
admirable work-ethic made
him a model Jayhawk. At
the conference, we listened
carefully and watched the
situation unfold, revealing
the new realities of business
in the region.
I took away more than a
few lessons in networking:
I realized I had come face
to face with a revolution.
Tese people arent simply
protesting a corrupt
government, theyre fghting
for their lives and the integrity
of their independence. We, as
students at the University of
Kansas, should be committed
to global understanding and
communication, and must
not remain ignorant about
the situation in Ukraine. Tis
could threaten to upset the
balance of the EU as Ukraine
appears to disintegrate into
civil war.
As we walked around
Maidan, casually snapping
photos and gaping at the
immensity of the small city
that had occupied downtown
Kiev, a woman approached
Dr. Greenberg and ofered
him a sandwich from a tray.
In the midst of all the chaos,
there remains kindness and
human dignity that we all
share at our core.
Comparing the photos of
the reality in Ukraine now
from my own three weeks ago,
I can only feel sadness and
confusion. My best wishes go
out to the people of Ukraine,
and I pray that, someday, they
will have peace.

Kansas lawmakers refuse action to uoride water bill
GEORGE MULLINIX
news@kansan.com
Last Wednesday Kansas law-
makers from the House Health
and Human Services Commit-
tee listened to opposing sides
testify how fuoride, a com-
pound that naturally occurs
when fuorine combines with
diferent minerals in rocks and
soil, afects water quality in
Kansas.
According to a 2010 report by
the Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention, fuoride
is added to 70 percent of U.S.
public drinking water. Fluoride
is used in drinking water and
dental practice because it helps
teeth fght against acids that
cause demineralization. Ac-
cording to a 2012 report, Law-
rence fuoride concentration is
.97 ppm, 3.03 ppm below the
Maximum Contaminant Level
(MCL) set by the Environmen-
tal Protection Agency.
HB 2372, a bill drafed by
Rep. Steven Brunk, is trying
to increase Kansans awareness
to other, potentially harmful,
efects of fuoride on the hu-
man body and mind. Te bill
states, More studies are ur-
gently needed to evaluate and
determine the exact efects of
fuoride. If the bill is passed,
it will require Lawrence and
other Kansas cities that arti-
fcially fuoridate their water
to inform their citizens, Te
latest science confrms that in-
gested fuoride lowers the IQ in
children. No other states have
adopted this kind of legislation.
A 2012 study by Harvard and
China Medical University re-
searchers inspired Rep. Brunk
to draf HB 2372. Tey me-
ta-analyzed 27 Chinese epide-
miological studies and found
that children in high-fuoride
areas had signifcantly lower IQ
scores than those who lived in
low-fuoride areas. senior au-
thor Philippe Grandjean stat-
ed in a 2012 media statement,
Fluoride seems to ft in with
lead, mercury and other poi-
sons that cause chemical brain
drain.
However, similar studies
have not been done in the U.S.,
prompting Rep. John Wilson to
say to Michael Connett, a law-
yer and a proponent of the bill,
I hope you understand our
concern about creating a bill or
creating a requirement based
of inconclusive science.
Kansas dentist communi-
ty opposed the bill, speaking
about the validity of the studys
results and the economic im-
pact the bill would have on
Kansas.
Dr. Lucynda Raben, DDS,
testifed in opposition of HB
2372, saying that the bill is full
of half-truths and misleading
statements.
Greg Hill, assistant executive
director of the Kansas Dental
Association, testifed, For ev-
ery one dollar invested in wa-
ter fuoridation, 38 dollars are
saved in dental costs.
Afer hearing testimonies
from both sides the committee
took no action on the bill.
Edited by Callan Reilly
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
The sun sets over Clinton Lake, one of two major surface water sources for Lawrence. HB 2732, if passed, will require cities to notify their residents
that uoride can cause severe health problems, including decreased IQ.
University students who are trying to limit their exposure to
uoridated water have many options, according to Flouride-
alert.org.
Students can use special water lters that remove uoride
by reverse osmosis and deionization or they can drink bot-
tled spring water. Activated carbon lters like Brita and
Pur do not remove uoride.
Next time youre at the dentist say no to a uoride gel
treatment.
Buy organic wine or juice because vineyards use a uoride
pesticide called cryolite.

University brings light
to eating disorders

Eating Disorder Awareness
Week not only aims to prevent
eating disorders, but also
body image issues. To help
this cause, the University will
have Celebrate Every Body
Week from Feb 24-28, where
students will be able to write
positive messages on Post-
it notes at various locations
around campus. Each of the
Post-it notes will then be hung
up throughout the University.
Te National Eating
Disorders Association
(NEDA) says that the rate
among college students has
risen from 10 to 20 percent in
women and 4 to 10 percent in
men.
Sophomore Erin Langhofer
from Overland Park has
struggled watching a friend
sufer with an eating disorder.
It started on a trip to South
America, Langhofer said.
My friend didnt eat anything
there because she didnt like
the food. Afer losing weight
on the trip, she came back
to Kansas realizing she liked
to have control over being
skinny.
NEDA says that given
that eating disorders are the
mental illness with the highest
mortality rate, early detection,
intervention and treatment is
crucial for the best chance of a
patient recovering.
For students at the
University, getting help for
an eating disorder is more
difcult. Te closest in-patient
clinics are in St. Louis or
Tulsa, Okla. HCA Midwest,
an in-patient treatment facility
in Kansas City, Mo., closed
in August of 2012 due to a
decrease in patients needing
medical treatment.
She told me about her
eating disorder and it was
very helpless for both her
and I, Langhofer said. Tese
facilities would help her while
keeping her information
confdential, and now that
theyre gone she would have to
travel far and tell her parents.
Around 20 percent of
individuals struggling with
anorexia will die from the
disease, according to NEDA.
Kelsey Fortin, a health
educator at the University,
works with students that have
eating disorders. She knows
students need help when they
come in and are constantly
obsessed with food and how
much they consume.
Te number one thing I
would say is that students have
to realize that they have an
emotional tie to food, Fortin
said. I help them target that
connection.
Fortin says that the media is
a big aspect in why these eating
disorders happen because the
people we see on television
or in magazines portray the
ideal image of being skinny
instead of the healthy image.
NEDA says that the average
American woman is 54 tall
weighing 165 pounds, while
the average Miss America
winner is 3 inches taller and
weighs 40 pounds less.
Ofen times what we see is
not how people really appear,
but because this is what we are
used to we dont really realize
that these models have been
edited so much, Fortin said.
Te United Kingdoms Health
and Social Care Information
Centre released that hospital
admissions for eating
disorders rose by 16 percent
from 2012 and children age 10
to 19 accounted for more than
half of the patients.
Every body is diferent.
You have to not think
about comparing yourself
to someone else. Tink of
yourself as being healthy not
being skinny, Fortin said.
If you or someone you
know needs information
or help regarding an eating
disorder, call NEDAs toll-
free, confdential helpline
from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday
through Tursday or Friday
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at (800)

FACTS
INTERNATIONAL
LONDON Alice Herz-
Sommer, believed to be the
oldest Holocaust survivor,
died at age 110 on Sunday,
a family member said. Te
accomplished pianists death
came just a week before
her extraordinary story of
surviving two years in a
Nazi prison camp through
devotion to music and to her
son is up for an Oscar.
Herz-Sommer died in a
hospital afer being admitted
Friday with health problems,
daughter-in-law Genevieve
Sommer said.
We all came to believe that
she would just never die, said
Frederic Bohbot, a producer
of the documentary Te
Lady in Number 6: Music
Saved My Life. Tere was no
question in my mind, would
she ever see the Oscars.
Te flm, directed by Oscar-
winning flmmaker Malcolm
Clarke, has been nominated
for best short documentary
at the Academy Awards next
Sunday.
Another producer on the
flm, Nick Reed, said telling
her story was a life-changing
experience.
Even as her energy slowly
diminished, her bright spirit
never faltered, she said. Her
life force was so strong we
could never imagine her not
being around.
Herz-Sommer, her
husband and her son were
sent from Prague in 1943
to a concentration camp in
the Czech city of Terezin
Teresienstadt in German
where inmates were allowed
to stage concerts in which she
frequently starred.
An estimated 140,000 Jews
were sent to Terezin and
33,430 died there. About
88,000 were moved on to
Auschwitz and other death
camps, where most of them
were killed. Herz-Sommer
and her son, Stephan, were
among fewer than 20,000
who were freed when the
notorious camp was liberated
by the Soviet army in May
1945.
Yet she remembered herself
as always laughing during
her time in Terezin, where
the joy of making music kept
them going.
Tese concerts, the people
are sitting there, old people,
desolated and ill, and they
came to the concerts and this
music was for them our food.
Music was our food. Trough
making music we were kept
alive, she once recalled.

from Lenexa, and Chris Birzer,
a freshman from Leawood, are
looking to repeat the Univer-
sitys past debate success and
bring home a national debate
title when they travel to the
67th National Debate Tourna-
ment at the University of Indi-
ana from March 28 to 31.
Campbell and Birzer were
accepted as a frst round, at-
large qualifer marking the
35th time that a Kansas team
has done so and the 47th year
in a row that a Kansas team has
qualifed for the tournament.
Te other 62 teams that will
compete in the tournament
will have to go through district
qualifying tournaments that
will take place throughout the
next two weeks.
Because of their regular
season success, they were able
to qualify by the process that
did not require an extra tour-
nament, said Brett Bricker,
debate team associate director
and former debate nation-
al champion. Which means
that they ended up in the top
16 teams in the country in the
regular season.
Tough Campbell, is a four-
time qualifer for the tourna-
ment, this is the frst time she
has qualifed as an at-large,
frst round. Birzer is the frst
freshman in University history
to qualify as an at-large, frst
round.
Campbell and Birzer said
they will be taking a more tar-
geted approach this year, a dif-
ferent approach than in years
past.
Bricker and I and Scott Har-
ris have sat down and fgured
out the top 25 teams who will
be there and we are making
sure we are prepared to beat
them, Campbell said. We
need to make sure there isnt a
team there that we are not pre-
pared for.
Bricker said that the way
that teams prepare and focus
during the next month will
decide who will make a run
in this tournament. He said
that Campbell and Birzer will
spend 20 to 30 hours a week
researching and giving prac-
ticing speeches.
Melanie is even going to at-
tend one of the district quali-
fying tournaments to watch
other teams compete, see what
their arguments are and to be
able to prepare more efective-
ly against them, Bricker said.
Campbell said she is really
looking forward to the tourna-
ment and is excited to contin-
ue the Kansas tradition at the
National Debate Tournament.
Even though she is excited for
the tournament, she admits
that she will be sad when its
over.
Im sure I will be disappoint-
ed once its over just because I
have spent a lot of time doing
this, eight years if you count
high school, Campbell said.

Four University of Kansas stu-
dents have been nominated as
national candidates for the Bar-
ry M. Goldwater Scholarship.
Te scholarship is intended to
reward and recognize under-
graduate researchers pursuing
careers in science, technology,
engineering and math. Te
scholarships are funded by the
federal government and award-
ed by a national committee. To
be considered by the national
committee, students must be
nominated by their schools af-
ter completing a competitive
application process.
Tis year, juniors Ashley Far-
ris from Wichita, Alex Kong
from Lawrence, Ryan Lim-
bocker from Overland Park
and Kayla Sale from Olathe
received nominations from the
University.
A committee made up of
distinguished faculty decides
who gets the KU nomination,
said Anne Wallen, coordinator
for National Scholarships and
Fellowships for the University
Honors Program. Students
who receive the KU nomina-
tion usually have substantial re-
search experience already, have
published papers and are even
working on patents.
Students receiving nomina-
tions from the University have
a track record of doing well at
the national level. Two students
that received University nomi-
nations last year were selected
by the national committee.
Qi Chen, one of last years
national recipients, researched
how the use of predictive com-
puter models could shed light
on the behavior of molecules in
various solutions.
Get involved with research
early, Chen said. Our under-
graduate research center here at
KU is great and they will help
you get involved. Talk to your
professors too.
Tis years nominees agreed
that while the money from the
scholarship would be help-
ful, the stature and honor that
comes with the recognition is
just as benefcial to their aca-
demic and professional careers.
Te money would be really
nice, but the prestige that goes
with it will help me to get into
the best graduate schools, said
Sale, whose research in plant
physiology and model ecosys-
tems formed the basis of her
application for the scholarship.
If selected, its an amazing
opportunity for anyone who is
planning on going to graduate
school, said Farris, who is cur-
rently performing research in
tissue engineering. If you get
the scholarship it has enough
prestige to help you get other
fellowships that will help pay
for your graduate school as well
as getting into your choice of
lab, which is really important in
graduate school.

CAMPUS
CEDARVILLE, Calif.
Practically everyone in this
tiny town in the high desert of
northeastern California's Sur-
prise Valley knew Cherie Lash
Rhoades.
A leader of the Cedarville
Rancheria, she worked in the
tribe's gas station and conve-
nience store and wore brightly
colored tank tops that showed
of her tattoos.
But it is tough to fnd anyone
with a kind word to say about
her.
"She bullied her way through
life," said Sandra Parriott, a
lifelong resident of Cedarville
and owner of two downtown
markets. "But I would never
think she would start blowing
people away in a meeting."
Police arrested Rhoades on
suspicion that she did just that
Tursday in Alturas, leaving
four dead and two wounded
in a gun and knife attack at a
meeting on whether to evict
Rhoades from one of the nine
little houses on the rancheria.
Eviction from tribal hous-
ing is among the most serious
punishments for American
Indians. Tough police have
said they are still working on
a motive, a nephew who lived
with her, Jacob Penn, said she
snapped under the pressure
of her brother trying to evict
her. Te brother, Rurik Davis,
who lived down the street on
the Rancheria, had apparently
taken over as tribal chairman
and was among the dead.
Investigators had been look-
ing into whether Rhoades took
federal grant money meant for
the rancheria she once led, a
person familiar with the tribe's
situation told Te Associated
Press (AP). Te person spoke
only on condition of anonym-
ity.
Alturas Police Chief Ken
Barnes said they were looking
into whether the embezzle-
ment allegations spurred the
tribe's eforts to evict Rhoades
but they had not established
any defnitive motive.
Te investigation was no se-
cret around town, where sev-
eral people interviewed by the
AP mentioned it, though they
said they had not been con-
tacted by investigators and did
not want to give their names.
Tough Rhoades was always
ready to share a joke, "you did
not want to get on her bad
side," said Penny Nash, Parri-
ott's sister. "She has a powerful
personality."
It was not immediately
known if Rhoades had a law-
yer.

Im sure I will be
disappointed once its over
just because I have spent a
lot of time doing this.
MELANIE CAMPBELL
Lenexa senior
I
t has never been easier
to start a trend. All it
takes is the insertion
of a simple hashtag and
the press of a button.
Martin Luther King Jr.
could have simply created,
#IHaveADream, and
tweeted out the rest of his
iconic speech in segments
of 140 characters. Would
that have been as moving?
Would it have the same
impact?
On Wednesday, I saw a
social media movement
unfold before my eyes.
I thought it started of
as a good cause that was
stripped of its signifcance
over time, but I had it all
wrong. In fact, it was the
complete opposite.
As soon as I got home
from class and did a
running jump onto my bed
and logged in to Facebook.
Te frst thing to appear
on my newsfeed was a
video with the hashtag,
#FeedTeDeed. I also
noticed a notifcation
showing me that I had been
tagged in the comment
section of this video.
Intrigued, I clicked through
and was led to a 30-second
clip that showed two of my
friends hand-delivering
cupcakes to a construction
worker in downtown
Lawrence. Te comment
I had been tagged in
nominated me to pay it
forward.
Te object of
#FeedTeDeed is to
encourage others to pass
along goodwill. Te video
included directions,
informing me that, Te
people tagged below have
24 hours to perform a
random act of kindness
and share it on Facebook
with #FeedTeDeed. Ten
each of those fve people
must nominate fve more
people!
Kindness Counts, a
Toronto-based non-proft
organization that intends
to inspire and spread
kindness, launched the
#FeedTeDeed initiative
just weeks ago. Founder
Russell Citron was inspired
to create the movement
when he saw a video
his friend, Josh Stern,
had posted in response
to something entirely
diferent.
Stern had been
nominated to fulfll a
Neknomination bid. For
those of you who have
seen, or possibly even
posted, a video of someone
accepting a challenge to
quickly consume alcohol
before passing on the
challenge to a friend, then
you know what Im talking
about.
Te game, known as
Neknominate, is thought to
have originated in Australia
and is now sweeping the
world, reported CNN.
What we consider
chugging, Aussies
consider necking, hence
the name of the game.
Neknominate gained
popularity in Canada and
has now entered into the
States.
Te Toronto Sun reported
that Nekominate is peer
pressure drinking on a
global scale. From cyber-
bullying to cyber-peer
pressure, what will we
come up with next?
I have seen countless
videos both advocating
for #FeedTeDeed and
Neknominate appear on
my newsfeed each time I
log in to Facebook, which
is more times than I would
like to admit.
While at frst I was
annoyed to see such a
positive initiative revoked
of its meaning, I felt
a rush of relief once I
found out that it was
actually developed to
rouse rivalry. Social media
can create a meaningful
movement, one that makes
an impact. We might as
well take advantage of the
technology we have at our
disposable as long as
we do truly use it to our
advantage.
Next time you fnd
yourself gulping down
a cold one, my frst
suggestion would be to
perhaps not post a video
of it on social media. But
more importantly, I suggest
spending your time to
propel a cause forward
rather than hold it back.
You have ofcially been
nominated.
I challenge you to
#FeedTeDeed.

POLITICS
Social media movement
spreads acts of goodwill
I
t is natural, especially as
college students, to spend
your time thinking of
all the things going wrong
in your life. We all do it,
sometimes without even
knowing it. I know that
every day when I wake up I
immediately think about what
schoolwork I have to do, how
long I have to work that day
and all the other boring things
I need to get done. Its hard
not to.
However, recently, Ive
realized that so many people
have it worse of than I do. I
take so many simple things
for granted, like the fact that
I have supportive friends and
family, shelter and especially
my health.
Tink about how miserable
you are when you are sick
with the fu for a week.
Imagine feeling that way all
the time. Some people are
extremely sick all the time and
still have to do all the boring,
everyday things that I have to
do. I know for certain that I
would not be a fan of that.
My sister, unfortunately,
is one of those people. She
has had plenty of medical
problems in the last ten
years that she has had to deal
with on top of everything
else going on in her life.
She recently was diagnosed
with a brain disorder called
Chiari Malfunction, which
means she has had a horrible
migraine for the past few years
(everyones dream, I know).
She fnished school, takes
care of her son and goes to
work every day, always with
a smile on her face. Since I
never heard many complaints,
sometimes I was unsure if she
was still even having medical
problems. As for me, I would
react by pouting every second
of every day.
Plenty of people are going
through things like this. Some
people have cancer, some have
lost someone close to them
and some people are fghting
every day just to survive. Kind
of makes that math test you
were complaining about seem
a little less horrendous now,
huh?
I guess Im just trying
to make those of you who
complain about all the silly
things feel bad about it. I do
it, too. We should feel bad
about it. Try putting yourself
in someone elses shoes every
once in a while. It can really
change your perspective, and
maybe even make your life
seem uniquely glamorous. I
applaud those who are being
positive while going through
tough times and hope that
God gives them the strength
to keep being brave.

ADVICE
Dont take your
life for granted
T
he First Amendment
to the Constitution
of the United
States distinctly calls
for the separation of
church and state. Tis is
a founding principle of
America, ensuring that
the government will in no
way force religion upon its
citizens or endorse a specifc
religion, while at the same
time not interfering with any
religious practice. Tough
individual state governments
are bound to abide by this
rule, some have tested the
limits of this constitutional
foundation. In particular,
Kansas, ofen with no degree
of subtlety, incorporates
religion into its government
proceedings.
Governor Sam Brownback,
in his recent State of the
State address, clearly
overstepped the line
separating church and
state. At times he sounded
more like a preacher than a
governor, with lines like, As
has been foretold to us: God
is in Heaven and We know
the way. God wrote it in our
hearts. Tis overtly religious
tone was present throughout
the address. Brownback, in
all, mentioned God seven
times. Tis stands in contrast
to President Obamas State
of the Union address, where
the word God was only
said three times though his
speech was more than twice
as long.
Te relationship of church
and state in Kansas needs
to be evaluated. When the
governor makes statements
such as, Our dependence is
not on big government, but
on a big God that loves us
and lives within us, it seems
clear that the government is
endorsing Christianity. In
addition to religiously fueled
speeches, both the State
Senate and the House of
Representatives begin their
daily sessions with prayer.
Tis is certainly not out of
the ordinary; the federal
legislature continues this
practice as does several other
states. However, its time that
this custom is examined.
More than 80 percent
of Kansans identify as
Christians, according to
a Pew survey. Tough the
majority of Kansans are
Christians, the diverse
religious views of the state
need to be recognized.
Brownback may hope that
every Kansan is a God-
fearing Christian, but this is
simply not the case.
He and other politicians
seem afraid that their
religious views are in danger.
Tis is evident with the
language used in the State
of the State address and the
recent bill, HB 2453, that
passed in the House. Tis
bill, which states that it will
protect religious freedom,
instead impinges upon the
views of anybody who is not
a conservative Christian.
Tankfully, this bill failed
to even appear before the
Kansas Senate, so it will not
be passed into law for the
time being. However, the fact
that this bill passed so easily
in the House speaks to the
attitude that many Kansan
politicians hold regarding
the separation of church and
state.
It is time, in Kansas and in
the United States, to examine
how religion is treated within
government. Invoking the
name of the Christian God
in speeches and introducing
bills that attempt to deal
with a perceived threat to
religion directly go against
the separation of church and
state. Te government needs
to work to further inclusion
and be less overtly biased
toward Christianity.

Afer much anticipation,
Annie Clark, otherwise known
as St. Vincent, has released her
latest album simply titled St.
Vincent. Coming of the heels of
2011s fantastic Strange Mercy
and 2012s collaboration with
David Byrne Love Tis Giant,
Clark had some big shoes to
fll but luckily she lives up to
the hype. Many times afer a
successful album, artists will
attempt to recreate that sound
over and over to recapture the
magic that made that album
possible. Fortunately, Clark is
not one of those artists.
What separates Annie
Clark from the numerous
Kate Bush clones out there
is her willingness to adapt
and innovate. St. Vincent
takes many of the elements
of her previous albums, like
the complex guitar lines from
Strange Mercy and the
funky brass section of Love
Tis Giant and melds them
together to make something
completely diferent. Many of
the songs on St. Vincent are
not as immediately gratifying
as they are on Strange Mercy,
but repeated listens bring out
the depth in the tracks. For
instance, I initially was put of
by discordant nature of Birth
in Reverse, but as I listened I
noticed the intricacies of the
guitar lines and that helped me
reexamine the song in a new
light. Other tracks, like Digital
Witness, are packed full of
pop hooks that reel the listener
in faster. I dare you not to get
up and dance to that song. Its
impossible.
Other tracks, like I Prefer
Your Love and Prince Johnny,
take infuence from trip-hop
groups like Portishead and
Massive Attack that create a
chill vibe in contrast to the other
songs. I Prefer Your Love, in
particular, is a highlight with
provocative lyrics like I prefer
your loveto Jesus that are sure
to rufe a few feathers.
In comparison to her other
albums, St. Vincent stands
head and shoulders above the
rest. Tere is not a single weak
track to pick from which cannot
be said about any of her others.
Whatever fear anyone has will be
put to rest and this album is an
early front runner for my album
of the year.

Jimmy Fallons Tonight Show
debut receives mixed reviews
Former Saturday Night Live

the newest Tonight Show
host this month. Known
for his zany antics, musical
abilities and quick wit, Fallon
was seen by many as a perfect
ft as the new host.
But has he lived up to the
hype thus far? Now that hes a
week into the job, we asked a
few of the Universitys theater
and flm students and faculty
for their opinions.
What I really enjoy about
Jimmy Fallon is that he
doesnt simply read jokes
of of a teleprompter, said
Abby Hadel, a junior theater
major from Lenexa. He fully
commits to the comedy with
his tone, body language and
facial expressions, making
him a step above past late
night hosts.
Hadel also feels that Fallons
acting and improv experience
give him an advantage.
Its refreshing to see
a younger face on late
night television who can
usher in the comedy that
younger generations fnd so
appealing, Hadel said.
Amit Patel, a flm and
media studies grad student
from Olathe, also enjoys the
new Tonight Show host.
I think Jimmy Fallon is
of to an excellent start,
Patel said. Fallon is difcult
not to like because he has
an energetic and humble
persona. He comes of as a
genuinely nice guy.
Carl Swanson, a flm and
media studies graduate
teaching assistant from
Kansas City, Mo., disagrees.
For the most part, he
spends too much time
here thanking people
and acknowledging how
historical the moment
is, which is also kind of
self-serving, Swanson
said. He did start of by
knocking Leno twice, which
I appreciate because Leno
isnt funny. Fallon has been
characterized as being a
more personable and inviting
host, but his sincerity ate up a
lot of time. It kind of doesnt
make sense.
Katherine Pryor, managing
director of the Department of
Teatre, appreciates Fallons
personable attitude.
He is very humble and
I know he has had some
criticism for that but I fnd his
attitude to resonate honesty,
Pryor said. He has a keen
comedic sense and I think he
is an excellent impersonator.

Hundreds of Anne Frank
books vandalized in Tokyo
TOKYO Anne Franks
Te Diary of a Young Girl
and scores of books about the
young Holocaust victim have
been vandalized in Tokyo
public libraries since earlier
this year.
Te damage was mostly in the
form of dozens of ripped pages
in the books. Librarians have
counted at least 265 damaged
books at 31 municipal libraries
since the end of January.
Japan and Nazi Germany
were allies in World War II,
and though Holocaust denial
has occurred in Japan at times,
the motive for damaging the
Anne Frank books is unclear.
Police are investigating.
Chief Cabinet Secretary
Yoshihide Suga called the
vandalism shameful and said
Japan would not tolerate such
acts.
New York-based Anti-
Defamation Leagues national
director, Abraham Foxman,
called for a full investigation
and asked Japans government
to carefully consider if this act
of disrespect for the memory
of the millions of Jewish
victims who lost their lives in
the Holocaust requires a new
look at educational initiatives
regarding the Holocaust and
anti-Semitism.
He said that while there
has been some history of
journalistic and literary anti-
Semitism in Japan, these kinds
of incidents are in fact quite
rare.
In the Nakano district
libraries, the vandals
apparently damaged the books
while unnoticed inside reading
rooms, according to city
ofcial Mitsujiro Ikeda.
Books related to Ms. Anne
Frank are clearly targeted, and
its happening across Tokyo, he
said Friday. Its outrageous.
At another library, all the
books that were damaged
could have been found using
the keywords Anne Frank in
an online database.
At least one library has
moved Anne Frank-related
books behind the counter for
protection, though they can
still be checked out.
Anne Frank wrote her diary
over the two years she and
her family hid in a concealed
apartment in Nazi-occupied
Netherlands during World
War II. Afer her family
was betrayed and deported,
she died in a German
concentration camp at age 15
in 1945.
Her father survived and
published her diary, which has
become the most widely read
document to emerge from the
Holocaust.

A ripped copy of Anne Franks Diary of a Young Girl picture book is
shown by Shinjuku City Library Director Kotaro Fujimaki at the library
in Tokyo. Hundreds of copies of Anne Franks diary and related books
have been found vandalized across the citys libraries in the last month,
sparking fears of an anti-Semitic motive.

GARDEN CITY A Kansas
lawmaker's proposal to track
the citizenship status of pub-
lic schoolchildren has raised
alarm in one of the state's most
diverse communities, where
district administrators worry
that even raising the question
with parents and students
would damage the welcoming
environment they have tried to
create.
Republican Rep. Allan Roth-
lisberg and ofcials of the Gar-
den City district agree that
under a 1982 U.S. Supreme
Court ruling, all students are
entitled to a public education
regardless of their citizenship
status or that of their parents.
But Rothlisberg, of Grandview
Plaza, introduced his bill with
the goal of calculating how
much Kansas is spending to
educate children who are in
the U.S. without legal permis-
sion.
"What I'm trying to get across
here is where our tax money is
being diverted to," Rothlisberg
told Te Garden City Tele-
gram. "It's not going to our
children or grandchildren."
Rothlisberg's bill would re-
quire every child who enrolls
in a public school for the frst
time to present proof of law-
ful presence, such as a Social
Security card, birth certifcate
or other document. Districts
would submit annual reports
to the state on the total num-
ber of children they enrolled
who failed to provide such
proof.
No child would be identifed
in the annual reports, but Gar-
den City superintendent Rick
Atha said merely asking about
a student's citizenship status
would imperil the trusting re-
lationship the district has tried
to build with all families.
An estimated 20 percent of
Garden Citys nearly 27,000
residents were foreign-born as
of 2012, compared to 6.5 per-
cent for Kansas, according to
census data. Te Census also
estimates that a language oth-
er than English is spoken in 40
percent of Garden City homes,
compared to 11 percent of all
homes statewide.
"To do what I interpret this
bill is asking school districts to
do, we're creating an uncom-
fortable environment for that
child to go to school, Atha
said.

STATE
MINNEAPOLIS Tey're
an endangered species in
many state legislatures as more
Americans move to urban cen-
ters or suburban cities: the ru-
ral lawmaker who knows what
it's like to care for a herd, plant
a crop or drive on gravel roads.
Indiana Rep. Bill Friend, a
pork producer, said it's chal-
lenging to explain modern
farming to colleagues who
no longer have personal con-
nections with agriculture. He
calls it an annual educational
project, as he knows of only
one other state legislator who
makes his living primarily
from farming.
"Tey're one, two, three gen-
erations removed from food
production and agriculture.
It's kind of a foreign topic to
them," said Friend, the Repub-
lican majority foor leader in
the Indiana House.
Lawmakers and political
experts say the dwindling
numbers of farmers, ranchers
and others who make their
living of the land afects not
just agricultural policy but
other rural concerns high-
ways, health care, schools and
high-speed Internet access.
Urban and suburban lawmak-
ers might be sympathetic, but
they're ofen unfamiliar with
particular concerns.
One Colorado legislator, a
rancher, has even gone so far
as to suggest each of his state's
64 counties have a single
House seat instead of award-
ing representation according
to population.
In ag-centric Nebraska, more
than half of the legislators
now come from the Omaha
and Lincoln areas. Similarly,
South Dakota's legislators are
bunched near Sioux Falls or
Rapid City only 11 of South
Dakota's 105 legislators as of
last year were involved in agri-
business; in 1987, the fgure
was nearly three times higher.
It was once the opposite.
Rural interests had outsized
infuence in state capitols
back when districts were of-
ten based on geography rath-
er than population, said Tim
Storey, a senior fellow with the
National Conference of State
Legislatures. Tat changed
when a series of U.S. Supreme
Court decisions in the 1960s
said legislative districts must
have roughly equal popula-
tions to ensure the principle of
one person, one vote.
"Tat just makes it more dif-
fcult for the rural voice to be
heard. It doesn't mean it can't
be heard. It's just more chal-
lenging," according to Doug
Farquhar, the conference's
program director for agricul-
ture and rural development.
Colorado state Rep. Jerry
Sonnenberg's radical idea of
one representative per county
comes out of his frustrations
over not being heard he
is the only rural voice in the
House. Currently, the state leg-
islature's votes are concentrat-
ed in the greater Denver and
Colorado Springs areas.
He concedes the idea is con-
stitutionally dubious, and fol-
lows a mostly symbolic ballot
initiative in 11 rural Colorado
counties last year to secede
and form a 51st state amid dis-
agreements over gun control,
renewable energy mandates
and other issues.
"I think it is an argument
worth having," said Sonnen-
berg. "But I have no illusions
this would ever go into efect."
Illinois was the nation's top
soybean producer in 2013,
and ranks No. 8 in the U.S. for
number of farms, according to
the U.S. Department of Agri-
culture's Census of Agricul-
ture report release this week.
But Democrat John Sullivan
is the only active farmer in the
Illinois Senate, with 200 acres
of grain and a few cows.
Sullivan, an assistant major-
ity leader, lamented that the
Senate agriculture committee's
chairman and other members
don't have agricultural back-
grounds. He expects a struggle
to make the farming opinion
heard as the chairman pushes
legislation to require labeling
of foods that contain geneti-
cally engineered ingredients.
"It just makes it more dif-
cult to explain and talk to my
colleagues when they're only
hearing one side of it from op-
ponents of GMO crops," Sulli-
van said.
In Minnesota, Rep. Rod
Hamilton has long argued that
rural concerns get neglected in
St. Paul, where the number of
farmers in the House stands at
six down from 14 as recent-
ly as 1995.
Hamilton, a Republican and
pork producer, said he plans
to work with other rural law-
makers from both parties in
both chambers this session to
protect shared interests against
a leadership that's mostly from
the Twin Cities area.
"You don't need that many
votes to make an impact," he
said.

Tis game had all the
makings of a hard-fought,
down-to-the-wire afair.
Kansas was playing a team it
lost to by double-digits three
weeks ago, a team that stood
at second place in the Big 12
standings and a team that
could match the Jayhawks
size down low and speed on
the perimeter.
Instead, Saturdays battle
of the top two teams in
the conference ended in a
romp as No. 8 Kansas (21-
6, 12-2 Big 12) crushed No.
19 Texas (20-7, 9-5 Big 12)
85-54 at Allen Fieldhouse
afer a dominating frst half
that Kansas freshman guard
Frank Mason said was the
teams best half all season. Te
Jayhawks overcame an 81-69
loss to the Longhorns on Feb.
1 in style, handing Texas its
worst loss of the season.
At Texas [three weeks ago]
it seemed like we didnt have
pride or anything going for
us, said Mason, who came of
the bench for 14 points on 6-7
shooting. So we wanted to
come back home and let them
know how we really play and
who we really are.
Te Jayhawks shot 63
percent from the feld in the
frst half while holding Texas
to 21 percent. Te Kansas
defense held the Longhorns
without a feld goal for an
eight-minute span in the
period, which was part of a
32-5 run that gave Kansas
a 28-point lead going into
halfime.
We started the game
aggressive and were locked in
on defense, Mason said. We
got stops and that lead to our
ofense.
A driving force of the
lockdown defense was
freshman center Joel Embiid,
who broke the Kansas
freshman block record with
his frst block of the night.
Embiid passed former big
man Eric Chenowith, who
blocked 62 shots during his
freshman season in 1997-98.
It was a great
accomplishment for me, said
Embiid, who also added 13
points and seven rebounds.
Embiid, who ranks second
in the Big 12 in blocks, had
six blocks in the evening,
matching his total from his
last four games combined.
Another key for Kansas
defensive success was shutting
down Texas freshman guard
Isaiah Taylor, who torched
Kansas for 23 points in the
teams frst meeting. With
an emphasis to shut down
the Longhorns foor general,
Taylor was held to fve points
on 1-14 shooting.
We knew that he was the
key to their team, Mason
said. It started with me and
Naadir cutting the head of of
the team and we knew they
would struggle if we could do
that.
Te 54 points are the
second-fewest the Jayhawks
have allowed this season and
mark the fewest points Texas
has scored in a game this year.
We didnt give them any
easy baskets, coach Bill
Self said. Everything was
contested at the rim.
Freshman guard Andrew
Wiggins, who shot 17 percent
from the foor and scored
seven points against the
Longhorns in Austin, Texas,
doubled that total in the frst
half alone and would fnish
the period with 15 points on
5-7 shooting and 3-4 from
long range. He scored eight
straight Kansas points during
an 18-0 run midway through
the half.
When I start early it builds
up my confdence in my
game, said Wiggins, who
fnished with a game-high
21 points. Especially if I get
a three, I feel like Im on fre
automatically.
With the victory, Kansas
now has a three-game
lead in the Big 12 and can
clinch at least a share of the
conference title on Monday
against Oklahoma at Allen
Fieldhouse.

Jayhawks avenge
previous Texas loss
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

S
BASEBALL
PAGE 9B Freshmen Jayhawks lead team to continuous wins
A
t some point during
Kansas rampage on Sat-
urday you had to remind
yourself that the Jayhawks were
facing a ranked team.
Without that knowledge, it was
just another slaughter in a long
line of Allen Fieldhouse beat
downs. One that could get fled
away and forgotten about as the
seasons go by.
But these are the Longhorns.
Tis was a team that had deci-
mated the Jayhawks in Austin,
Texas, not even a month ago.
Tis was revenge.
No. 8 Kansas defeated No. 19
Texas 85-54 and it wasnt even
that close.
I thought we decapitated
better today, coach Bill Self said
with a wide smile.
Te Jayhawks wanted to come
out and show Texas what hap-
pened in Austin was a one-time
thing, that they could stop fresh-
man guard Isaiah Taylor, who
shot 1 for 14 from the feld, and
expose the Longhorns ofense.
Because the opposite rang true
in part one of a clash between
the Big 12s best.
Just a few weeks ago freshman
guard Andrew Wiggins was ren-
dered useless, freshman center
Joel Embiid was big-bodied by
sophomore center Cameron
Ridley and junior guard Naadir
Tarpe couldnt do anything to
help get the ofense going.
We got embarrassed at their
place, said Wiggins, who scored
21 points and had six rebounds.
We wanted to do the same to
them.
Tis was more than that. Tis
was bullying in its simplest
form, giving the Longhorns
the appearance of hope before
smacking them down.
We wanted to let them
know how we really play, said
freshman guard Frank Mason
who scored 14 points. Who we
really are.
Afer falling to Texas and again
to Kansas State, it was clear some
things werent working anymore.
Tat playing tight defense was a
chore instead of an accomplish-
ment.
On Saturday three Jayhawks
scored double-digits while three
other plays came just one or two
points shy of doing the same. By
the second half, the game had
become more of a Kansas skills
competition than, well, a Big
12 one.
Embiid, who set the freshman
block record (63) in the frst half,
ran the foor for a Tomahawk
Slam. Senior forward Tarik Black
went up and over Ridley for a
dunk that was so unexpected it
nearly silenced the Fieldhouse.
Moments later Black caught
an alley-oop from sophomore
forward Jamari Traylor.
And while all of this was hap-
pening, the Jayhawks held Texas
to 34 percent shooting from the
feld.
Topeka YMCA would have
given them a better game,
Texas coach Rick Barnes said
aferwards.
Kansas was just better, poten-
tially the best team in the nation
according to Barnes, whose
Longhorns werent even expect-
ed to contend in the conference
this year.
Maybe that had something
to do with it, because the way
Kansas played youd never know
they were.
Texas whipped us down there
the frst time, Self said. Tis
wasnt about the league race as
much as it was about playing
Texas.

FACT OF THE DAY
Netherlands speed skaters

sixth overall in the medal count
if they were a country.
USA Today
US shouldnt be ashamed of Sochi performance
QUOTE OF THE DAY
T
he closing ceremonies hadnt
even started. Te fnal event
had barely fnished. And
they already felt the need to defend
themselves.
U.S. Ofcials defend team perfor-
mance in Sochi, the Associated Press
headline read.
Its kind of funny if you think about
it. Te U.S. Olympic Committee
(USOC) had to defend itself for
fnishing second in the overall medal
count (28) and fourth in gold medals
(9).
Te host country defended the
motherland on its way to frst overall
in the medal count with 33. Like
President Vladimir Putin wasnt going
to ensure Russias athletes prepared for
a strong performance in the coun-
trys frst Winter Olympics. Russias
extravagant Sochi Olympics cost $51
billion, more than all previous Winter
Olympics combined. Everybody
knew the games were immeasurably
important to Russia.
Russia, Norway and Canada were
the only countries earning more golds
than the U.S. Each earned 13, 11 and
10 golds, respectively.
Tese countries hold signifcant geo-
graphical advantages over other non-
cold weather countries, like the U.S.
Sure, we have cold weather. But each
of these countries are bred in winter
by our standards. In winter games,
were typically elite in snowboarding,
but not much else. Te summer games
are a diferent story. Te U.S. is a Sum-
mer Olympic nation. Te domestic
interest is exponentially higher in the
summer events, along with well-rec-
ognized athletes and events.
Also, our superstars failed to per-
form this year. Shaun White blanked
on medals. Shani Davis, considered
one of the best speed skaters in Amer-
ican history, also ended with zero.
Skier Lindsey Vonn didnt compete
because of a recent knee surgery.
If White, Davis and
Vonn turned in their
usual performances
from past Olympics,
then todays discussion
might be diferent. Te
U.S. medal count may
have eclipsed Russia,
and the headlines
could read Russian
Ofcials defend team
performance in Sochi.
Yet, the U.S. leaves
Sochi with its status
in tact as an elite
Olympic country. Te
lingering bitterness
afer the high-
ly-watched hockey
losses to Canada may
be warranted, but its a short-sight-
ed viewpoint. I wouldnt doubt many
Americans begin their Olympics
critique with Well, if we wouldve
just beat Canada. And that loss to
Finland Te Olympics represent
more than the big name events that
draw viewers.
Calling this years Olympic perfor-
mance among the best ever, as the
USOC
did
yester-
day, is
clearly
a stretch.
But
theres no
reason the
organization
should need
to defend itself
and its athletes
performanc-
es because of
unreasonably
high expectations.
An overwhelming
overall medal count
victory in Vancouver 2010 placed the
bar too high. Our expectations for
Sochi shouldve been more measured.
Failure to obtain frst doesnt always
equate with placing in last. Sometimes
thats hard for Americans to believe.

w
Te Kansas women's bas-
ketball team did nearly every-
thing right against Oklahoma
(17-11, 8-7 Big 12) on Satur-
day night at Lloyd Noble Cen-
ter in Norman, Okla.
Tey blocked four shots and
stole the ball nine times. Tey
hit 81 percent of their free
throws well above their sea-
son average of 69.7. Tey even
held a normally-dangerous
Sooners' 3-point attack to 0-11
from behind the arc.
So how did the Jayhawks (12-
15, 5-10 Big 12) fnd them-
selves on the wrong end of a
64-61 fnal?
"Obviously, the diference in
the game was rebounding,"
Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale
said. "We get 24 ofensive
boards and hold them to four."
Yep, that'll do it. Kansas was
outrebounded on the defen-
sive end as well, bringing the
total rebounds to 48-25 in the
Sooners' favor. Te 25 boards
were the Jayhawks lowest out-
put this season.
In the frst half, Kansas ap-
peared to take advantage of the
absence of Oklahoma's leading
scorer Aaryn Ellenberg. Ellen-
berg sat out because of a con-
cussion she sufered on Feb. 16
against Oklahoma State.
Te Jayhawks were clicking
on both ends, holding the Big
12's best shooting ofense to
only 28 frst half points on 28.6
percent from the feld. Junior
forward Chelsea Gardner was
a force in the paint, blocking
three Oklahoma shots before
half.
Ofensively, Kansas was led
by senior guard CeCe Harper,
who scored 14 points. Harp-
er frequently created plays of
the ball, dishing three assists
in addition to sinking two key
3-pointers. Junior guard Na-
talie Knight chipped in a cou-
ple 3-pointers as well, giving
Kansas a 31-28 halfime lead.
However, things wouldn't
run as smoothly in the second
half. Te Jayhawks' lead was
quickly erased by a rejuvenat-
ed Oklahomas ofense. Tey
lost the lead with 16:38 re-
maining and never got it back.
"We came out of the locker
room terrible," coach Bonnie
Henrickson said. "We were
terrible and they got up three
right away, and that's been our
M.O. here lately."
Senior guard Markisha Haw-
kins, in her ninth start of the
season, was Kansas' lone con-
tributor following halfime.
She notched 16 points on 5-6
shooting in only 16 minutes.
No other Kansas player made
more than one feld goal.
Still, the Jayhawks free-
throw shooting 12-14 in the
second half kept them in
the game while the rest of their
game faltered.
Te Jayhawks were down
only two when Oklahoma
guard Morgan Hook knocked
down a jumper with 26 sec-
onds lef to make it a two-pos-
session game. Knight's 3-point
attempt at the other end fell
short, sealing a Sooners vic-
tory.
Hawkins, usually one of Kan-
sas' frst of the bench, fnished
with a career-high 22 points
and six rebounds. Gardner
logged 12 points and eight
rebounds, failing to record a
double-double for only the
second time in the Jayhawks'
last six games.
Henrickson said her team
must focus on improving at the
beginning and end of halves if
they expect to win.
"We always try to win the frst
four minutes and we didn't do
that," Henrickson said. "We al-
ways do the frst four and last
four and we didn't do that."

QUESTION MARKS
The Sooners are one of the best
offensive teams in the conference
but give up a conference-most
76.8 points a game. Every starter
averages double-digits in scoring,
led by two of the highest-scoring
guards in the conference in Hield
and Clark. Oklahoma is currently
tied for second-place in the Big 12
and is coming off an impressive
home win over Kansas State on
Saturday.
Cameron Clark
The senior lit up Kansas in the
teams rst meeting as Clark
knocked down open jump-shots
all night and got to the free-throw
line often. If he is guarded by Perry
Ellis, Clark will likely have those
opportunities again. Capitalizing
on them will help Oklahoma stay
within striking distance on Mon-
day night.
Will Oklahomas defense hold up?
The Sooners were able to slow
down Andrew Wiggins and Joel
Embiid on Jan. 8, but Wayne
Selden, Jr., Naadir Tharpe and El-
lis stepped up and combined for
63 points. If three Kansas players
are on top of their game, that will
put a lot of pressure on Oklaho-
mas offense to keep up.

The Jayhawks have a hangover
from Saturdays near-perfect per-
formance against Texas. Kansas
doesnt need to play that well to
beat Oklahoma, but its level of
play cant drop too much against
a team that is likely headed to the
NCAA Tournament.
Edited by Callan Reilly
?
QUESTION MARKS


Naadir Tharpe, Guard
The shooting touch hasnt been with Tharpe lately. Hes scored eight points
in the past three games, and missed all ve 3-pointers he shot against
Texas. The Jayhawks would like to think Tharpe is their go-to shooter due to
his experience, but by the look of his latest shooting drought the team can
only hope Tharpe nds a way out of his funk.

Wayne Selden, Jr., Guard
The problem with Selden has been his constancy on the offensive end. His
average is seven points the past two games, but hes averaging more than
10 points per game on the season. Selden plays physical defense and is
one of the best on-ball defenders on the Jayhawks. Until Selden uses his
physicality on offense, his offense will suffer.

Andrew Wiggins, Guard
Wiggins had one of his best games of the season against Texas on Saturday.
He showed all angles of his game. Wiggins shot 58 percent the past three
games and averaged 20 points. In order for the Jayhawks to be successful
the back end of this season, Wiggins will have to keep his offensive con-
sistent.

Perry Ellis, Forward

Not the same Ellis since his 32-point performance against Texas Christian
on Feb. 15. One of the reasons could be that Joel Embiid was penciled back
into the lineup. Ellis still gets the same opportunities, but with opposing
teams attention on Embiid, the inside is crowded. Ellis shot 2-9 from the
eld since Embiid returned, and Ellis can still contribute by getting to the
free-throw line.

Joel Embiid, Center

Against Texas Embiid started contesting shots similar to the beginning of
the season. He showed his knack at the rim by the six blocks he had on
Saturday. The seven-footer leads the Jayhawks in rebounds and block, and
Embiid will have to continue to be a force in the paint for Kansas win down
the stretch.

STARTERS
A share of the Big 12 Conference ti-
tle is on the line against Oklahoma.
If Kansas wins, the Jayhawks would
maintain a three game lead in the
conference with only three games
left. The win would knock Oklahoma
out of reach of the conference title
because the Sooners would be four
games back. Oklahoma is trying to
get revenge from the rst game of
conference play when the Jayhawks
defeated the Sooners in Norman,
Okla. on Jan. 8.
Naadir Tharpe

With three consecutive poor shoot-
ing games, Tharpe is bound to
bust out. The rst time Tharpe
faced Oklahoma, he scored 17
points on 5-7 shooting, but only
had three assists. If Tharpe con-
tinues to struggle, watch for him
to become a larger facilitator in
the offense.
Can Perry Ellis play alongside
Joel Embiid?
Since Embiid returned to the
lineup, Ellis has struggled to nd
open shots. Hes shooting more
ten-footers lately because he cant
get open in the paint with the lane
clogged due to Embiids presence.
Ellis will have to nd other ways to
score because hes a major con-
tributor to the offense.
6
Andrew Wiggins has six consecutive
double-digit games.
68
Joel Embiids 68 blocks this season
is a single season freshman record.
1
Kansas needs one more Big 12
conference win to take a share of
the conference title.
If the Jayhawks take a share of
the Big 12 conference title by de-
feating Oklahoma, and giving the
Jayhawks their 10th straight con-
ference title.

Edited by Jessica Mitchell

Jordan Woodard, Guard
Woodward is having a nice freshman season averaging 11 points and 4.7
assists per game. Hes averaged 6.3 points since scoring 23 in an over-
time loss at West Virginia on Feb. 5. Woodard was held without a eld goal
against Kansas on Jan. 8 but made all 10 of his free throw attempts.

Buddy Hield, Guard

Hield averages 16.7 points a game, which also ranks seventh best in the
conference. The sophomore has been the teams most consistent scorer all
season and has reached double-digits in scoring in all but two of Oklaho-
mas games.

Isaiah Cousins, Guard

Cousins is coming off of a 17-point game against a tough Kansas State de-
fense. He averages 10.5 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, and has scored
in double-gures in three of his last four games.

Cameron Clark, Guard

Clark tied a season-high with 32 points against Kansas on Jan. 8 and went
12-for-16 from the free throw line. However, since his outburst against the
Jayhawks, his highest scoring game was 17 points against Texas Tech in
late January. Clark has averaged eight points in his last two games.

Ryan Spangler, Forward

The Big 12s leading rebounder nearly averages a double-double with 10.3
points and 9.6 rebounds per game. Spangler scored only four points against
Kansas on Jan. 8, which is his second-lowest total in conference play thus
far.

STARTERS

At one point, Kansas trailed
by fve to Texas in Allen Field-
house.
Te frst fve minutes werent
what anyone expected. Not
with a revenge game against
Texas and a potential confer-
ence championship in the Jay-
hawks sights.
But there were still 15 min-
utes lef in the half, and the
Jayhawks would soon give
everyone the show they were
waiting for. Kansas tied the
game at eight on the following
two possessions with a lay-
up by freshman guard Wayne
Selden, Jr., and a 3-pointer by
freshman guard Andrew Wig-
gins.
In the following nine min-
utes, the Jayhawks went on a
20-2 run, sending Allen Field-
house into a frenzy.
We were so geeked up and
amped up and played so well
early, coach Bill Self said.
Tat run set the pace and the
tone for the whole game, and
Kansas used the early spark to
propel the Jayhawks to their
85-54 blowout victory on Sat-
urday night.
Both Kansas players and Self
talked about the aggression
the Jayhawks presented during
that huge run in the frst half
and freshman guard Frank
Mason shined in that half be-
cause of his aggression.
I think we started of the
game aggressive, we were
locked in on defense and get-
ting stops and that led to our
ofense, said Mason, who
scored nine points of the
bench in the frst half. I think
that was the best we played in
the frst half this season.
Self said that both junior
guard Naadir Tarpe and Ma-
son defended the ball well.
But Mason gave the Jayhawks
something that starting point
guard Tarpe couldnt give on
Saturday: an ofensive threat.
Tarpe played 16 minutes of
the 36-8 run, but only scored
two points. Meanwhile, when
Mason checked in at the
12-minute mark, the Jayhawks
were only up two on Texas.
Afer the substitution, Kansas
run emerged.
Frank shot it really well in
practice, but he hasnt shot it
worth a fip during the games,
Self said. He was waiting to
bust out. On a night where you
think Naadir would be six of
seven and maybe Frank one
for nine, Frank made shots and
Naadir missed open looks.
Te early defense separated
the Jayhawks performance
Saturday night from the Feb.
1 game against Texas. In that
frst game, the Longhorns
scored 38 points in the frst
half against Kansas. But on
Saturday the Jayhawks held
Texas to a season-low 18 frst
half points.
As far as having a big lead,
they couldnt get anything go-
ing, but we didnt give them
any easy baskets and every-
thing was contested at the
rim, Self said about the frst
half defense.
Te main contributor in the
36-8 run was Wiggins. Te
standout freshman scored 15
points on 5-7 from the feld
and 3-3 from beyond the arc
in the frst half, but the plays
he made were louder than his
halfime stat line.
Te run started with Wig-
gins hitting his frst of three
3-pointers in the frst half, and
then the alley-oop dunk hap-
pened. If any play sparked the
36-8 run, the alley-oop dunk
by Wiggins was it. Wiggins
came baseline behind Texas
big men and slammed the lob
pass from Selden. Wiggins said
his confdence builds when his
ofense starts early, and es-
pecially when he hits a three.
Wiggins said the teams pride
fueled the long nine-minute
run.
We wanted to come out of
the game aggressive and we
knew the last time we were
at their place we got embar-
rassed, Wiggins said. We
wanted to do the same thing
to them. Take it to them and
every minute on the foor we
played hard.

REBOUNDS ASSISTS POINTS
An early birthday gift for the standout freshman An-
drew Wiggins, whose birthday was Feb. 23, was him
scoring 15 points in the rst half. He hit his rst
three 3-pointers, but didnt hit one the rest of the
game. Wiggins nished the game with 21 points, six
rebounds and two blocks. Wiggins stayed active on
the defensive end and it showed by holding Texas to
a season-low 18 rst half points.
UNSUNG HERO
Mason
Frank Mason, guard
On a day where the bench contributed 33 points,
Frank Mason gave the team a spark off the bench.
Mason helped start the nine minute 20-2 run
by scoring nine points. He provided shut down
defense on Texas guard Isaiah Taylor and held
Taylor to 1-14 from the eld.
GAME TO FORGET
Tharpe
Naadir Tharpe, guard
Naadir Tharpe guarded the ball well against Texas,
but once again struggled to generate an offensive
game. Tharpe had ve assists and two turnovers,
which isnt a bad ratio. He was knocking down his
open looks and missed on all ve of his 3-point
attempts. He nished the game 1-9 from the eld
for two points.

One of the hardest things to
do in baseball is to get produc-
tion with two outs. Going into
Sundays game, the Jayhawks
have been batting .325 and
have scored 26 runs with two
outs so far this season.
We really worked hard on
that this ofseason, coach
Price said. Te guys are re-
ally buying into what the hit-
ting coaches are saying and its
working.
Kansas started the Snowbird
Classic of against Northwest-
ern on Friday. Tey needed ex-
tra innings to top the Wildcats
by a score of 14-10.
Junior lef-handed pitcher
Wes Benjamin had another
rocky outing on the hill, allow-
ing fve runs in 6 1/3 innings
pitched. Kansas was buoyed by
its ofense and its late inning
rallies once again.
Senior outfelder Tucker
Tarp provided most of the
power for Kansas, as he got the
game started with a three-run
homerun in the frst inning.
Afer Kansas blew a lead in the
eighth, Tarp was able to drive
home the game-tying run to
send it into extras.
Even though senior clos-
er Jordan Piche struggled
through 3 2/3 innings pitched,
he was able to pick up his frst
win of the season. Piche gave
up four earned runs and was
able to bear down and fnish
out the game.
Te Jayhawks grabbed the
lead in the top half of the 11th
inning behind the bat of senior
catcher Kaiana Eldredge. El-
dredge drove a two RBI single
to right feld to put Kansas on
top 12-10. Te Jayhawks put
up two more in the 11th and
won 14-10.
I faced the same pitcher in
my previous at bat, Eldredge
said. I knew what was com-
ing. Our ability to fght back
time and time again really
shows our heart.
Saturdays game was not
short of late inning heroics as
Kansas had to come from be-
hind again to defeat Milwau-
kee 9-8. Junior pitcher Robert
Kahana got the start for Kan-
sas and threw 5 1/3 innings,
allowing six earned runs.
Freshman pitcher Stephen
Villines made his frst career
appearance and got the victory
for the Jayhawks. He threw 2
2/3 innings, allowing only one
run.
It was awesome to be put
in that spot, Villines said. It
showed that coach really has a
lot of trust in me. Te guys be-
hind me did a great job getting
outs.
Junior outfelder Connor
McKay kept his strong start to
the season going, driving in a
career-high fve RBIs. McKay
belted a one-out grand slam in
the ffh inning.
I can attribute my success to
a combination of a few things,
McKay said. One is that Ive
been here for three years and
Im getting more and more
comfortable and the other is
my swing. Ive been keeping
my swing shorter and more
compact.
Eldredge and junior frst
baseman Blair Beck led the
late inning rally as Kansas had
to fght back in the eighth once
again. Eldredge connected on
an RBI ground-rule double to
get Kansas within one. Beck
stepped into the box with two
runners in scoring position
and belted on a double to lef,
putting Kansas ahead for good.
Everyone one through nine
knows their roles on this
team, Eldredge said. Every-
one does a great job getting on
base.
Freshman pitcher Jon
Hander came in to shut the
door, since Piche was not
available. Hander allowed only
one hit in his inning of work,
earning his frst save in a Jay-
hawk uniform.
Sundays victory against
Mississippi Valley State came
much easier to the Jayhawks.
Kansas was able to win 11-1
behind a strong start from
senior pitcher Frank Duncan.
Duncan was able to fan 14 hit-
ters while only allowing one
run.
Tats the best hes thrown
all spring, Price said. Te
breaking ball was working
and he was flling up the strike
zone all seven innings.
Kansas put its frst run on
the board in the bottom of the
third inning when freshman
catcher Michael Tinsley sin-
gled home Tarp for his frst
career RBI.
Kansas was able to put three
more runs up on the board,
heading into the fourth with a
4-0 lead. Tinsley led the fourth
of with a leadof triple and
came home on an RBI single
from junior infelder Justin
Protacio. Junior outfelder Mi-
chael Suiter added another run
and gave Kansas a 6-0 lead.
Mississippi Valley State
scored its lone run in the ffh.
Tinsley added another RBI
in the seventh inning, giving
Kansas a 7-1 lead. Duncan lef
the game in the eighth with
two outs, both of which were
recorded as strikeouts.
Our freshmen production
was great, Price said. I really
like this years class. Tey have
tremendous upside and get the
job done.
Kansas was able to add four
more in the bottom half of the
eighth, putting them up 11-1.
Kansas cruised to its third win
of the weekend.
Weve built a lot of conf-
dence thus far, Price said. We
just keep coming back and its
a lot of fun to watch.
Te Jayhawks hope to stay
undefeated in the season
against St. Bonaventure. Kan-
sas plays the Bonnies in the
fnale of the Snowbird Classic
today at 10 a.m.
