Well, the unthinkable
finally happened.
A backflip in Allen Fieldhouse indicated a
33-game home winning streak was over. Two
different courts stormed by ravenous students.
Those brief highlights summarized the type
of week the Kansas Jayhawks have experienced.
Team meetings behind closed doors and a
late-game defensive switch in Saturdays loss to
Oklahoma couldnt prevent a three-game losing
skid that hasnt been seen since 2005 when the
Jayhawks lost to Texas Tech, Iowa State and
Oklahoma.
And now, questions continue to surround the
Kansas squad.
A team left blindsided from the unthinkable
streak. A team left hunting to regain its
swagger.
The streak has fans searching for the same
Kansas team that once beat Ohio State on the
road. Fans look for the same team that once was
No. 2 in the nation.
At this moment, both players and fans
stare directly at the possibility of losing four
consecutive games for the first time since 1988-
89, when the Jayhawks lost eight straight.
To make matters worse, Kansas will have to
best its perennial annoying sibling to stop the
streak: Kansas State.
Yes, Kansas has been dominant against Kansas
State. The Jayhawks have won 45 of the last 48
meetings dating back to the 1994 season.
Still, the Jayhawks arent in the drivers seat
of the Big 12. Rather, the annoying sibling has
taken hold of the wheel.
Unlike Kansas, the Wildcats are quietly on a
four-game winning streak. Those victories now
have Kansas State on top of the Big 12 standings.
More importantly, the Wildcats will most likely
be ranked higher than the Jayhawks.
Just like a little brother (even though
Kansas State is technically older), Wildcat fans
constantly let the big brother know when they
are on top.

Student leaders from the six
Kansas Board of Regents schools
will advocate for students on three
main issues when they meet with
state legislators today. During
Higher Education Day, 30 sudents
from each school, many of whom
are members of their student body
governments, will meet Kansas
leaders in the House and Senate
to represent student positions on
higher education funding, tuition
for undocumented students and
concealed carry on campus.
The entire student lobby met last
night in Woodruff Auditorium to
familiarize themselves with their
fellow student advocates, positions
they will advocate and conduct for
lobbying, said student body presi-
dent Hannah Bolton.
We are just going to try to make
it more of a direct message than it
has been in the past, Bolton said.
While drafting a united student
platform for the Regents schools
has been challenging, Darren
Beckham, student legislative direc-
tor for Wichita State University,
said the lobby will represent all
students from the Kansas Board of
Regents Schools.
The purpose of the day is to
make sure that legislatures hear
from students and are able to con-
nect faces and individuals to these
problems, as well as understand
how it will better affect Kansas stu-
dents lives, Beckham said.
Economic REtuRn
and invEstmEnt
The higher education lobby
plans to advocate for continued
funding of academic institutions.
According to a study performed by
Goss and Associates, every tax dol-
lar spent on the Board of Regents
schools produced an $11.94 eco-
nomic return.
The governor is propos-
ing a higher education cut at
eight percent, said Zach George,
Government Relations Director for
the University. That is a huge
amount of money, which could
possibly lead to an increase in
tuition.
Compared to the national aver-
age of $6,290, Kansas spends $4,959
per student in higher education.
While enrollment in post-sec-
ondary education has increased
by more than 10 percent since
2006, funding for higher educa-
tion institutions has fallen by more
than 15 percent, according to the
State Higher Education Executive
Officers.
Our state economy can be a
thriving one if we have a well-
funded higher education system
within the state, George said. We
want to make sure we advocate that
these cuts directly impact students
who are trying to get a degree.
in-statE tuition foR
undocumEntEd studEnts
Currently, undocumented stu-
dent immigrants are ineligible
to receive state or federal aid for
tuition. The higher education lobby
will advocate that these students
receive in-state tuition to increase
the likelihood of their attendance
to a Kansas higher education
institution. While George said

A trip to rub elbows with the
biggest names in the music indus-
try was not what Shelby Lewis had
expected when she first plucked
her harp.
Lewis, a freshman from Kansas
City, Mo. studying music educa-
tion, was one of a handful of stu-
dent musicians selected to attend
the Grammys on an all-expenses-
paid trip this weekend. The floor
level was reserved for the famous
faces: Taylor Swift, Adele, Beyonc.
Lewis sat directly above them, in a
suite box in the middle of the mez-
zanine, rubbing elbows with music
producers and businessmen, at the
2013 Grammy Awards last night.
The biggest dream I ever had
in my life is about to come true,
Lewis said a few days before her
pre-paid flight to Los Angeles.
Out of several hundred appli-
cants, Lewis and 24 other stu-
dents from the Kansas City metro
area were selected to participate
in the Grammy Museums Music
Revolution Project last summer, a
month-long pilot program head-
ed by Bob Santelli, the executive
director of the Grammy Museum
in LA. At an event publicizing
their collaborative CD release and
the Grammy Museum Experience
at the Sprint Center, the president
and CEO of the worlds largest
entertainment company asked the
students if theyd like a trip to LA
to watch the Grammy Awards in
person.
Lewis heard about the oppor-
tunity through a newsletter from
the Kauffman Center for the
Performing Arts in Kansas City,
Mo. She mailed in an audition
tape showcasing her breadth with
the harp: a classical sonata and an
instrumental adaptation of Your
Song by Elton John.
While she normally plays classi-
cal harp, Lewis likes to experiment
by covering a wide range of artists,
from The Beatles to Lady Gagas
Telephone. Recently, shes taken
to singing while playing jazz.
In high school, Lewis would
come home from school to play
Grace, her six-foot-tall Venus
harp, and pluck comfortably at
its 46 strings, keeping different
rhythms with each hand, working
its six peddles with both feet and
chatting conversationally with her
mother Maria.
It always came very naturally
for her, her mother said.
Lewiss parents had her pegged
to become a musician since she
was a baby. When she was three
years old, her mom took her to
see the Kansas City Ballets annual
performance of The Nutcracker.
To explain where the music came
from, Maria took Shelby down to
inspect the orchestra pit at inter-
mission. The harpist found herself
confronted by a curious three-year-
old loaded with questions about
the rare stringed instrument.
That curiosity led to a passion
for music. Lewis began private les-
sons for the harp at the age of eight
and has since taken up the violin,
piano and choir.
That fluidity was put to good use
at the Music Revolution Project.
From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every
weekday for a month in summer of
2012, Lewis and her peers heard a
music history lecture on a different
genre of music each week. They
learned about how genres evolved
and what events inspired them
and helped them to develop. The
students would then form small
groups and composed a song for
an artist of each genre.
Lewis, a classically trained harp-
ist, would be mixed together with
musical theater performers, a
country guitarist, an opera singer
or DJs to write songs inspired by
hip-hop, blues, jazz and rock.
Figuring out how to mix DJ
beats into country was weird
it was hard, Lewis said. It was
a very good learning experience
musically and really stretches your
creative mind.
At the end of the Project, the
group selected 11 of its best songs
to record, then debuted its work at
the Kauffman Center to an audi-
ence of around 250 people.
It was awesome to be granted
that opportunity to perform where
all of these big names have been,
Lewis said. For a high schooler
from the middle of the Kansas City
suburbs to get this opportunity to
do this, that was cool. I think we
were all kind of blown away by this
whole thing.
Lewis sat at her harp and sang
vocals to an Amy Winehouse-
inspired track on the same stage
that Patti LuPone and Aretha
Franklin have performed on with-
in the past two years. The debut
concert was a cathartic end to a
demanding and rewarding experi-
ence. Until October.
Lewis and eight other students
were asked to return to Kansas
City to talk to the media and
advertise the Project and the recent
opening of the Grammy Museum
Experience at the Sprint Center.
Deep in the basement of the
Sprint Center, Lewis was catch-
ing up with her fellow teenage
musicians over a breakfast spread
when a posh man in a suit Tim
Leiweke, the President and CEO
of Anschutz Entertainment Group
walked in, and asked if they had
previously been to the Grammy
Awards. He offered them an all-
expenses-paid trip to the awards
and to visit the Grammy Museum
and other attractions, tour Los
Angeles and stay in the same hotel
as the stars.
Lewis couldnt contain her
excitement.
Who does that? Lewis asked.
Who says, Yes, you suburban
children from the Midwest, come
to California and attend the big-
gest night in music?

students from receiving tuition
is stalled in the Kansas House of
Representatives, it is anticipated to
be debated once more during this
session of the Kansas Legislature.
The proposed measure would
double tuition for these students,
affecting approximately 600 Kansas
students.
The stance that we have is that
these students want to participate
in the economy by getting their
degree and participate in society,
George said. We should make it
easier for them because we know
that people who do not have a col-
lege degree increase their chances
of being in poverty or getting into
crime.
ConCealed Carry
on Campus
With the likelihood of legisla-
tion being introduced to allow con-
cealed carry weapons on the cam-
pus of Kansas schools this session,
Bolton said the student lobby will
advocate against such measures.
While University police and faculty
are opposed to conceal carry on
campus, Bolton said the primary
reason for lobbying on this issue
was to represent current University
policy prohibiting students carry-
ing weapons on campus. Student
Senate passed a resolution oppos-
ing concealed and carry on campus
on Feb. 6.
There wasnt a huge opposition
in our stance to oppose it, Bolton
said.

She has spent the weekend bal-
ancing social networking, experi-
encing the major LA attractions and
embracing the music industry.
It makes me happy to play it and
happy to produce this thing that
gets to people without using words,
Lewis said.
For Lewis, the future holds a
career devoted to music maybe
with a position at an interac-
tive learning experience like the
Grammy Museum or maybe as a
music teacher.
I called my music teacher from
elementary school when I got invit-
ed to the Grammys and thanked
her, Shelby said. I hadnt talked to
her in about 10 years, but I called
her and thanked her because I
remember taking choir and playing
recorders and I thought it was the
coolest thing in elementary school.
She made it fun.
Lewis thinks its important to fos-
ter fine arts programs in schools to
give kids a creative outlet.
In the meantime, shes enjoying
her opportunity to explore music.
These people from California
are giving suburban Missourians a
chance at something so great and
really want to foster that and pro-
mote that we are a city of important
things, Lewis said. Especially with
the building of the Kauffman Center
and the Sprint Center, Kansas City
is getting back on the map. And
hopefully this program will put us
back on the music map.

Tomorrow is Abraham Lincolns
204th birthday. Lincoln was particularly
fond of Kansas. Sadly, his assassina-
tion happened in 1865, the same year
that KU was established.
poLice reporTS
While standing in front of a
rock wall and looking up, the goal
of climbing to the top can seem
daunting, if not a bit impossible.
Its not an easy or a quick task, but
as he reaches and moves higher
with each step, the vision of the top
becomes closer and clearer.
As a rock-climbing enthusiast,
Matthew Koontz has experienced
this numerous times. Now, it is a
different kind of wall he is scaling.
Koontz, a senior from Overland
Park, was hit by a truck while bik-
ing across the intersection of Iowa
Street and Harvard Road Jan. 29.
He broke his sternum, arm, and all
of the ribs on his left side as well as
a couple on his right. He also had
bleeding in his brain behind his
frontal lobe and had an emergency
splenectomy while in the hospital.
Although he wont be able to
return to rock climbing soon,
Koontz is beginning his climb
of recovery. This time, the goals at
the top are graduating in May with
majors in business administration
and anthropology and returning to
a life of traveling and rock climb-
ing.
a reCovery BiBle
Koontz is not alone in his jour-
ney. Through a Facebook group
named Forever Strong: Matt
Koontz Recovery Bible, his friends
and family have been able to con-
tribute stories, pictures and words
of encouragement for him.
Lawrence senior Camille Fittell,
a fellow rock climber and close
friend of Koontz , compiled the
entries in a binder and delivered
it to Koontz before he returned to
his home on Feb. 4. After witness-
ing her mother go through a knee
replacement surgery and therapy,
she wanted to offer the same sup-
port to Koontz.
We cant all see him every day as
much as we would love to, but we
want him to know that every day of
recovery were thinking about him
and were ready for him to get back
out and climb again, Fittell said.
Matts parents Mike and Pam
Koontz said the outlet of support
has been helpful in the recovery
process.
It gives him a lot of energy to
know everyones behind him and
hes not doing this by himself,
Mike said.
We try to surround him with
things that make him happy, Pam
said. We really appreciate all the
work and all the help that people
went through to bring him good
thoughts and good prayers.
Working ToWard
The fuTure
Koontz doesnt want his acci-
dent to define his future, and he
is determined to not let it hinder
him in his goal of graduating in
four years.
As long as his spirits are staying
high, he really wants to accomplish
that goal, Pam said.
His friends and family said
Koontz has always been a hard
worker when it comes to educa-
tion. Fittell said that Koontz would
often mix climbing with home-
work, trading off between slack
lining and writing a paragraph of
a paper.
Koontz will work with the
University to make sure he can
graduate on time. The dean
of the School of Business, Neeli
Bendapudi, visited Koontz in the
hospital and will continue to work
with him while he finishes his
requirements.
Overland Park senior Josie
Harmon, a member of the
Undergraduate Anthropology
Association, said the department
of anthropology will also be closely
involved in the process.
Once he gets better, theyre
going to help him 100 percent to
do whatever hes got to do so he can
graduate this semester, Harmon
said.
posiTiviTy and sTrengTh
Through the rock climbing club,
climbing has become more than a
hobby for Matt. He regularly trav-
els and climbs with his friends.
Erin Eifler, a senior from
Lawrence, remembers the first
climbing trip she went on with
Koontz.
I was completely new and I
didnt know anybody, and Matt
spent his entire first day of the trip
. . . teaching me how to do stuff.
He was so ridiculously patient,
she said. He didnt even think
twice about spending the whole
day teaching me stuff.
Josie Harmon found out about
the accident from Koontzs mother
the day it happened.
I didnt realize how bad it really
was until I got to the hospital the
next day and he was maybe two
hours out of conscious. He was
already laughing and smiling and
fully aware, she said.
His friends believe that Koontzs
positive attitude will enable him
to make it through the recovery
process.
Hes super strong. I feel like that
dude can do anything, Harmon
said. Hes overcome so much in
his life.

T
he deadlines for study-
abroad programs will be
coming up before you
know it. And the good stuff in
England and Australia is gonna
fill up fast. So why not start
learning another language? I
picked up a nice German phrase
book from the 1960s Instant
German: The Follett Vest-Pocket
Conversation Guide and Im
pretty sure it has every phrase a
traveler needs, and then some.
Here are some sample phrases
from this fine book (along with
some contexts in which you
could use them) so you can start
learning what some consider the
awful German language right
away.
Wollen Sie bitte mit Creme
nachspllen? Could I have a
cream rinse?
I honestly have no idea what a
cream rinse is, but I dont think
its something you want to ask
for when youre sitting down to
brunch in a nice suit.
Wir mchten gern
Abendessen auf deutsche Art
haben. We should like to
have dinner German style.
Well, you could start by
changing your suit, as we con-
sider it impolite over here to eat
dinner with huge cream stains on
your clothes.
Knnen Sie mir den Weg
zum Damen-Unkleideraum zei-
gen? Can you show me to
the womens changing room?
Youre planning to change
that soiled suit in the womens
dressing room, sir? Is that all
youre going to do in there,
creep?
Gibt es eine Stelle wo man
Pferde mieten kann? Is
there a place where we can rent
some horses?
Im pretty sure that back in
the 60s, horses were the primary
mode of transport in the more
backward parts of East Germany.
But in present-day Deutschland,
electric, emissions-free transpor-
tation is the norm, so I typically
replace every instance of Pferd
I find in this book with Smart
Car.
Schlagt dieses [Smart Car]
aus? Does this [Smart Car]
kick?
The book doesnt provide
the most common response to
this question, but it translates as
What are you smoking and how

German and journalism from Derby.

A
s the spring semester
starts, many seniors
begin the final drive to
graduation.
Enrolling in the last classes
theyll ever take as college stu-
dent, they teem with excitement
as May inches closer and closer.
The promise of graduation and
the beginning of a new life seems
more realistic than it ever has
before, and theres only one teen-
sy, tiny little thing holding them
back: senioritis.
Senioritis, or deconcentratus
senioris, as its known in the
medical field, is a crippling and
debilitating viral infection that
causes potential turmoil for
soon-to-be graduates.
Symptoms of senioritis
include, but are not limited to:
excessive apathy, inability to
wake up before 11 a.m., lack of
commitment to school projects
or homework, skipping class,
failing tests, freeloading, surfing
sites like StumbleUpon, Pinterest
or Reddit for 5-plus hours a
day, tweeting things like #yolo
or, Screw class, lets go to the
hawk! at 2 p.m.
Spread through everyday
interactions, this dreadful disease
has been known to ruin GPAs
and is responsible for countless
incompletes on college tran-
scripts.
Many of you might be real-
izing you are showing symptoms
of senioritis after reading this,
but thats OK. Studies show every
1 in 7 college seniors has seniori-
tis, but many cases go undiag-
nosed. Just remember, diagnosis
is the first step to recovery.
Until recently there were few
known remedies to senioritis, but
with the advancement of modern
medicine there is new hope for
the infected. There are several
steps you can take to combat
senioritis and clinical trials have
even shown marked improve-
ments in behavior, in some cases
even complete recovery.
The first thing to do after get-
ting diagnosed is to accept your
diagnosis and educate yourself
about the disease. Understanding
senioritis is critical to any recov-
ering patient, which begins with
simply admitting that you are
infected.
The second step is finding
help. There are numerous sup-
port groups on campus, many of
which can help on the road to
being cured. Getting involved in
student study groups and review
sessions works wonders for those
suffering from senioritis. Over
the counter antibiotics such as
Red Bull, Monster or black coffee
can work wonders for a recover-
ing patient.
Most of all, it is key to estab-
lish a support system once youve
found out you have senioritis.
Close friends, family members,
roommates and coworkers can
act as sponsors, keeping you
accountable for class attendances
and study habits. Do not be
afraid of relapse! Thats what
your support group is in place
for. If you relapse, tell your
supporters that youve had a
moment of weakness and ask for
their help, theyll be more than
willing to do whatever they can
to get you back on the straight
and narrow.
After enough time and effort
youll be on the right track for
clean, infection-free living.
Remember that recovering from
senioritis is a process. There will
be days where the only thing
you want to do is lie in bed and
have a How I Met Your Mother
marathon, throwing caution into
the wind and sacrificing your
participation grade for a few
cheap laughs.
As a recently recovered infect-
ee, I can say for certain that my
road to recovery was a dark one,
but with the help of some sugar-
free energy drinks and a good
sleep schedule I was on my way
to a normal life in no time.
Just remember, no one wants
to tell their friends and fam-
ily they wont graduate on time
because they opted for a three-
day Pinterest bender instead of
writing their mid-term thesis
assignment. Stay accountable,
stay alert, and most of all, stay in
school.

journalism from Olathe.
E
ven if the overwhelming
majority of University
students dont plan to visit
West Africa anytime soon and
typically dont check their Sahara
news feed after pouring a morn-
ing bowl of cereal, the ongoing
conflict in Mali matters because
it reflects the types of military
engagement that will likely
become prevalent during their
adult lives.
To recap: last March, a military
coup ousted the democratically
elected President Tour after his
government failed to defeat the
nomadic Tuareg rebels in the
northern part of the country.
While the military and interim
civilian government vied for
influence, the security situa-
tion deteriorated. Rebels briefly
controlled the northern desert,
but by July Islamist groups held
power in the major cities in the
region.
Whether Islamist ideology
(which young voting citizens
should know is separate from
Islam the religion) is fundamen-
tally incompatible with respect
to international human rights
or democratic norms is a broad,
complex question; in the context
of northern Mali, Islamist take-
over held disastrous implications
for the regions residents.
By October, United Nations
Assistant Secretary-General for
Human Rights Ivan imonovic
was describing public executions,
amputations, and beatings. He
explained that enforced mar-
riages legitimize the widespread
rape of young women while more
children are enlisting to become
soldiers. College students across
the country mobilized last spring
as a part of the Kony 2012 move-
ment, but so far this conflict
hasnt captured that same level of
attention.
As a result of the crisis, refu-
gees are fleeing en masse. The
United Nations Refugee Agency
coordinator reported 160,000
Malian refugees in surrounding
countries; another 240,000 people
are displaced within the country.
Other estimates place the number
of persons displaced at 1.5 mil-
lion.
Massive human tragedy isnt
limited to the north, either.
According to Human Rights
Watch, the same military leaders
who perpetrated the coup last
March now engage in extrajudi-
cial killings, torture, and enforced
disappearances in the south.
The New York Times reports
that journalists and opponents
of the military regime have been
targeted.
In January, France deployed
troops to Mali after using air-
power to strike extremist groups.
According to Foreign Policy mag-
azine, that mission was militarily
successful, as the French-backed
government forces regained con-
trol of two key cities, Timbuktu
and Gao. French President
Franois Hollande declared that
the coalition is winning this bat-
tle on Jan. 28, and suggested that
African forces could resume sole
responsibility for the mission.
Why does this mess in Western
Africa, handled primarily by the
French and West African govern-
ments, matter to young U.S. citi-
zens? Mali showcases a series of
enduring challenges. Its Islamist
groups dont act in isolation; the
Council on Foreign Relations
noted those groups have ties to
al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb,
or AQIM. Its continued lawless
state would provide a base of
operations for AQIM, allowing it
to network with militant groups
throughout the region. That
partnership, once rooted, could
endure long after any current stu-
dents graduation.
As defense sequestration and
U.S. drone policy move into the
spotlight of national security
debates, Mali represents two
trends. First, the U.S. has not
taken an active military role,
instead allowing other countries
to handle the situation on a
regional basis. Second, Foreign
Policy magazine highlighted
ongoing decision-making to place
a new drones base in Western
Africa to conduct intelligence-
gathering operations.
Despite Hollandes optimistic
outlook, instability in Mali will
take years to resolve. With hun-
dreds of thousands of people
displaced, international aid orga-
nizations will be hard-pressed
to provide for even basic human
needs. The motivations behind
separatist movements will not
disappear overnight, and rebels
or Islamist groups can simply
melt into the desert and wait
for military operations to cease.
Absent a sustained international
effort, security and humanitarian
objectives in Mali will remain
unattainable and thats why
University students should know
a war is being fought there.

If nostalgia literally means the
pain from an old wound, Stand
Up Guys is the equivalent of a
botched root canal.
Despite boasting a cast of three
acting legends and a plot bear-
ing tantalizing similarities to In
Bruges, Fisher Stevenss geriat-
ric gangster comedy is weighed
down by failings heavier than a
pair of concrete overshoes: listless
plot contrivances, superfluous side
characters and the sort of gooey-
hearted sentimentality that would
ring false in any movie, much less
one graced with the monumen-
tal talents of Christopher Walken,
Al Pacino and Alan Arkin. The
late film critic Gene Siskel once
theorized that most films can be
judged based on whether they are
more entertaining than a docu-
mentary about the same actors
having lunch. On that count,
Stand Up Guys falls embarrass-
ingly short.
The story begins with Val
(Pacino), a career criminal serving
29 years in prison after agreeing to
take the fall for his fellow crooks.
When Vals release date finally
rolls around, the only one wait-
ing for him on the outside is Doc
(Walken), his best friend from the
old days. After catching up at an
old-timey diner with the requisite
plot-connected waitress (Addison
Timlin), the two decide to hit the
town for a Viagra-assisted last
hurrah. Unbeknownst to Val,
a vengeful crime lord with the
bluesy moniker Claphands (Mark
Margolis) has blackmailed Doc
into dispatching his old buddy.
Doc, who spends the bulk of
Stand Up Guys agonizing over
whether to pull the trigger, wants
to make Vals last night on earth
a real humdinger. So the wizened
wise guys decide to run amok
downtown: stealing a muscle car,
boosting buckets of thrill pills
from a pharmacy and springing
their mutual friend Hirsch (Arkin)
from the pine-scented purgatory
of his retirement home. A few of
their adventures, like the scene
where Pacino convinces a woman
to dance with him through a
woozy mixture of charm and self-
pity, are genuinely touching. Most,
like a Farrelly Brothers-style erec-
tion joke that requires a hospital
visit and an injection to relieve
the swelling, just seem lazy and
interminable.
Walken, who played another
conflicted assassin in last years
far-superior Seven Psychopaths,
imbues Doc with all the noble
eccentricities denied to him by
Noah Haidles derivative screen-
play. His chemistry with Pacino
is a deliberate exercise in con-
trast, presenting himself as the
calm skeptic to his co-stars manic
human peacock.
Pacino, still firmly entrenched
in his patented HOO-AH! shtick,
is less successful at elevating the
material, and the films worst sight
gags are usually at his expense.
And although the fate of his
senile getaway driver ultimately
left me groaning, Arkin (current-
ly an Oscar nominee for Argo)
has the benefit of a few memo-
rable lines and gets to handle a
Dodge Challenger with the skill
of an arthritic Vin Diesel. Vanessa
Ferlito, the snub-nosed beauty
best known for giving Kurt Russell
an impeccably choreographed
lap dance in Quentin Tarantinos
Death Proof, also appears brief-
ly, bringing with her a disposable
subplot that throws off what little
momentum the film has going
for it.
Just to be clear, Stand Up Guys
isnt a terrible movie. Its just a
shallow, hopelessly misguided
trifle that commits the cardinal
sin of squandering an amazingly
gifted cast. Aside from the perfor-
mances, its sole highlight is a pre-
dictably retro-centric soundtrack
from artists like Charles Bradley,
Gary Clark Jr. and Jon Bon Jovi,
the latter of whom penned Not
Running Anymore, a song that
treats these characters, and the
great actors portraying them,
with the respect and gravitas they
deserve. If only the filmmakers
had followed his lead.

GRammys
Stars stun on the red
carpet in classic black
CaLLan reILLy
creilly@kansan.com
Last nights 55th annual Grammy
Awards in Los Angeles was a festi-
val of fabulous fashion.
Stars such as Jennifer Lopez,
Nicole Richie and a pregnant
Amber Rose wowed in gorgeous
black dresses. Though all the
knockouts shared the same color
for the night, their styles were all
very different. Lopez showed off
some serious leg in her one-sleeved
Anthony Vaccarello gown, sleek
topknot, simple clutch and perfect
strappy heels. Richies Tom Ford
midi length snakeskin dress was
paired perfectly with simple hair
and accessories, and Wiz Khalifas
other half was glowing as she
showed off her baby bump in a
Donna Karan gown.
Meanwhile, Katy Perry and
Rihanna sported brightly colored
gowns in mint green and red.
Mario Lopez couldnt have looked
more handsome in his burgundy
suit at the Staples Center event.
Perrys mint dress fit her perfectly
and was said to be inspired by
Priscilla Presleys style from the
70s. Rihanna looked red hot in her
red lips, red nails and a custom red
Azzedine Alaa dress.
Sadly, with the good comes the
bad. Justin Timberlake has now
failed at fashion two award shows
in a row. At the SAG awards,
Timberlake went too casual in
Tom Ford, and went too tacky in
the same designer at last nights
Grammys. His black and white pat-
ent leather shoes were distracting,
as was his oversized bowtie. Carly
Rae Jepson looked somber in her
black sparkly dress and undid hair.
As much as it pains me to say,
Super Bowl queen Beyonce looked
exquisite in her edgy Osman jump-
suit, but the outfit was a little too
casual for the event (but since shes
perfect, well let that slide).
The key to avoiding worst-
dressed lists during award season
is by dressing age, season and event
appropriate. Each award show has
a different dress code that should
definitely be followed. And in this
case, the Grammys dress code was
to cover all the goodies.

Live performances steal Grammys
ryan WrIGht
rwright@kansan.com
Ever since its inception in 1959,
the Grammys have been heralded
as the premiere award show for
music. Over the years the Grammys
have had many classic moments,
from jaw-dropping performances
to artists winning big and taking
home many of the coveted awards.
Did this years Grammys stack up
to previous installments?
Returning to host the awards
this year was legendary rapper LL
Cool J. As far as hosting goes, LL
Cool J did a pretty good job. There
was nothing really special about his
hosting, but it was solid.
As always, the Grammys boasts
several star-studded performances.
For this years installment many
artists performed, such as Justin
Timberlake, Frank Ocean, Taylor
Swift, Carrie Underwood, Rihanna,
Ed Sheeran and fun.
One of the best performanc-
es of them all came from Justin
Timberlake, who performed his
new single Suit & Tie. During the
performance he brought Jay-Z on
stage to perform his guest verse.
After absolutely killing his Suit &
Tie performance JT performed a
previously unheard track, Pusher
Love Girl.
Frank Ocean also took the stage
last night. He performed Forrest
Gump from his album channel
ORANGE. There wasnt much
going on during his performance,
but thats because he didnt need it.
His vocals truly stole the show.
Not all was great at the Grammys
though. There were a couple dis-
appointing performances. Taylor
Swifts opening number was disap-
pointing. Her vocals werent up to
par to what fans expect of her. Her
Alice in Wonderland themed per-
formance was interesting though.
Also the tribute to Bob Marley
was underwhelming. The choice of
Bruno Mars and Sting was an odd
choice for this tribute. Though it
got better towards the end when
Rihanna, Damian and Ziggy
Marley joined the stage, the trib-
ute to the reggae legend could have
been much better.
The actual awards this year were
particularly well done. This years
presenters were great and included
Beyonce, Ellen Degenres, Miguel
and Adele. For the most part, the
selection committee did the awards
justice. The only snub was that
Frank Ocean should have won Best
New Artist instead of fun. Earlier
in the show, fun. lead singer Nate
Ruess stated they had been togeth-
er for 12 years. Not so much a new
artist.
The big winners this year were
Mumford and Sons, fun. and Frank
Ocean. Mumford and Sons took
home the most prestigious award,
Album of the Year. fun. won Best
New Artist as well as Song of the
Year. Frank Ocean won his first
two Grammys with Best Urban
Contemporary Artist and Best
Rap/Sung Collaboration.
With only a few mishaps at this
years Grammys, it really did live
up to its name as musics biggest
night.

NPR and Real Sports with Bryant
Gumbel. Two of his 18 published
books, including both fction and
non-fction, have been made into
feature-length flms.
I knew that I wanted to be a
writer almost from the day that I
learned how to write, Deford said.
I found out it was something that
I could do well no diferent than
someone who found out they can
run fast and thought, Gee, I ought
to go out for the track team.
Journalists hoping to follow in
his footsteps, however, will have to
fnd a technologically-adroit path,
Deford said. Modern journalists,
he thinks, must be more curious,
fexible and prepared to explore all
mediums and tactics.
Te Internet has just made ev-
erything diferent from what it was
once upon a time, Deford said.
Deford said he fell into his sports
writing career. It was the quality
writing more than the subject mat-
ter that attracted him to Sports Il-
lustrated Magazine. Although he
enjoys games as a fan, he thinks
the people and background stories
make sports interesting.
Te wonderful thing about
sports writing is that its a great
subject to write about, Deford said.
Sports is drama. Sports is glam-
our; interesting characters. It gives
you so much as a writer.
Defords most personal work is
Alex: Te Life of a Child, a memoir
chronicling the life of his daughter
who died of cystic fbrosis in 1980.
He describes the book as a searing
personal experience and successful
in that it allowed his daughter to be
celebrated by so many people and
helped the Cystic Fibrosis Founda-
tion.
Everything pales beneath that,
Deford said. Of course, it was
based on the greatest tragedy that
can possibly be, which is the death
of a child, but the book itself and
the subsequent movie that was
made from the book was indisput-
ably the best thing that I ever did,
and certainly the most important
thing that I ever did.

Pen in hand, Shannon
Thompson disappears into her
character. She transforms the pre-
vious evenings night terrors into
a science fiction tale. She copes
with pain from personal experi-
ences by putting it into her writ-
ing. Thompson, a senior from
Leawood studying English, has
been writing seriously since she
was 11 years old. She published
a novel when she was in high
school and wants to continue
writing professionally.
When English lecturer Megan
Kaminski asked Thompson to be
a reader at the Undergraduate
Reading Series, Thompson
quickly agreed.
The Undergraduate Reading
Series is an opportunity for writ-
ers to come together and become
a community, Thompson said.
Its not just me in the audience
meeting an author; its me being
the person the audience is listen-
ing to.
The Undergraduate Reading
Series is a monthly event in
which undergraduate writers rec-
ommended by creative writing
professors can share their work.
At each event, writers stand at
the podium and, for 10 minutes,
share their writing. Kaminski cre-
ated the series a few years ago.
We have all sorts of talented
students who are starting to move
their writing beyond being stu-
dents and into being profession-
al writers, so it gives students a
chance to practice and have expe-
rience with a really important
part of being a writer, which is
sharing your work with an audi-
ence, Kaminski said.
Kaminski said she hopes audi-
ence members enjoy themselves
and become inspired to think dif-
ferently through creative writing.
I think the thing that makes
this event remarkable is its real-
ly about the student work; its a
moment for students to say this is
what I feel about myself and what
I want to share about my experi-
ence at KU and as a human being
in this world, Kaminski said.
Last Wednesday, Thompson
took to the podium and shared
non-fiction, poetry and fic-
tion pieces with the audience.
She shared her words and took
another step toward being a pro-
fessional writer.
The next Undergraduate
Reading Series event is sched-
uled for March 12 at 7 p.m. in
the English Room of the Kansas
Union.

Four wounded in
mardi Gras shooting
aSSocIated PreSS
NEW ORLEANS Gunshots
erupted in a crowd of bead-wear-
ing, drink-carrying late-night rev-
elers on Bourbon Street during the
countdown to Mardi Gras Satur-
day night, wounding four people
and sending bystanders running
and screaming. Hours later on
Sunday, though, the same stretch
was packed with partiers who said
they werent letting the violence
dampen their fun.
In a video taken by a witness
Saturday night and released the
next day, the shootings are preced-
ed by footage of people standing
shoulder to shoulder in New Or-
leanss famed tourist district, with
some holding green plastic cups
and wearing gaudy hats or masks.
A section of the frame highlighted
by police shows people speaking
with angry expressions.
Police said in an email that the
video depicts an argument involv-
ing one of the shooting victims and
the suspects. Two men are seen
leaving the argument and return-
ing with a third, then approaching
the victim as at least one of the
suspects begins shooting, accord-
ing to police. Four shots are heard
in rapid succession, followed by
screams as some in the crowd
stagger into one another and a
nearby wall. A man whom police
identifed as one of the suspects is
shown walking through the crowd
with his arm extended as the gun-
shots are heard, though its difcult
to make out a weapon.
Police said Sunday that they
were seeking the three men.
Te shootings wounded two
males and two females. One male
victim hit in the abdomen, thigh
and pelvis was in guarded condi-
tion Sunday afer surgery the pre-
vious night, New Orleans Police
spokesman Frank B. Robertson
said. Te second male was shot in
the buttocks, one female was shot
on the chin and right foot, and the
second female was shot on the toe,
according to Robertsons state-
ment. Tose three were in stable
condition. No ages or names were
released.
Te shooting came on the last
weekend of partying before Mardi
Gras, the celebration that is the
signature tourist event of the year
in New Orleans. And for thou-
sands, the partying continued de-
spite the shooting. Parades rolled
under cloudy skies Sunday before
crowds of onlookers, though the
shootings were on the minds of
some revelers.
It was very disappointing,
said New Orleans resident Carol
Redmann-Bailey as she watched
Toth roll by. I was disappointed
and sad, but it seems like Bourbon
Street stayed open. ... Let the good
times roll.

OOOOFFF TTTAAAANNNNNNNNIIINNNNGGGG
Kansas schedule didnt have to
be this exhausting.
In theory, playing at TCU last
Wednesday should have been a
tune-up for a tough three-day
stretch. Losses at home against
Oklahoma State, on the road to the
Horned Frogs and a third straight
at Oklahoma changed that notion
and has shaken the perception of
an easy game which is to say
there are none in the Big 12 this
year.
Instead a mentally and physi-
cally fatigued group of Jayhawks
will take the foor against a simi-
larly worn down Kansas State team
Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse,
likely to the displeasure of both
teams, but especially for Kansas
coach Bill Self.
I wish we had a couple of days
to prepare, Self said. But they
probably wish they had a couple
days to prepare also.
Te diference is that Kansas
State comes to Lawrence afer de-
feating Iowa State 79-70, and in
control of its own destiny with a
one game lead in the conference
race.
Whatever energetic advantage
that provides KSU, Self is hoping
the crowd at Allen Fieldhouse will
match it for the Jayhawks. Needless
to say, they could surely use it.
I think the crowd will do a great
job of getting us jacked up, Self
said. Playing a rival always helps.
I think well play with great energy
Monday.
In reality, the Jayhawks dont
have any other choice.
A loss to K-State would set Kan-
sas two games back in the quest for
a ninth straight Big 12 title, and as
much as Self doesnt want to focus
on the big picture right now, its
hard to escape the standard hes
built for himself.
Consider Self a slave to his own
success.
Weve been behind a game in
the league race going into the last
seven or eight games of the season
before, Self said. If they were to
defeat us theyd put us really behind
the eight ball.
Meaning Mondays afair is as
close to a must-win as the Jayhawks
will face before the NCAA tourna-
ment. It also means whatever prob-
lems are plaguing the Jayhawks
need to be corrected in the little
time before tipof.
But if you forget the outings at
TCU and against Oklahoma State,
the loss to the Sooners isnt as trou-
bling as the two previous defeats.
Kansas shot 46 percent from
the feld against Oklahoma, Elijah
Johnson had three turnovers on
four assists and Ben McLemore
still got his 15 points. Te biggest
concern was the Jayhawks perim-
eter defense, which was essentially
non-existent in Norman.
I think we could defend bet-
ter, Self admitted. I would think
we need to keep doing things that
weve been taught to do and ex-
ecute what weve been taught to do.
I still dont think were a very good
loose ball team.
One thing on which Self doesnt
blames the losses is poor shooting,
although he does believe the Jay-
hawks have a better chance of get-
ting buckets with Naadir Tarpe on
the foor.
Whether its going with a small-
er lineup, switching from man-
to-man coverage or doing a better
job working the ball inside, the
window to solve Kansas crisis is
rapidly closing. It may very well be
gone by Tuesday morning.
Anything can happen, Self said.
But were going to have to play our
best ball by far of the conference
season to have a chance to win it.

The Jayhawks mens and wom-
ens track and field teams trav-
eled to three different meets this
weekend.
They were successful in travel-
ing to the Tyson Invitational in
Fayetteville, Ark, the Husky Clas-
sic in Seattle, Wash, and the Iowa
State Classic in Ames, Iowa.
It started Friday when junior
vaulter Natalia Bartnovskaya de-
stroyed her own school record by
5 inches at the Tyson Invitational.
This is her fifth consecutive pole
vault win and she has the No. 2
pole vault mark in the nation.
Bartnovskaya had a clearance of
4.43 meters (14-6.25 feet).
Senior Sarah Hedberg who was
joined with sophomore Jaimie
House and junior Abby Row in
the college division pole vault.
Row grabbed a new career best
height of 3.70 meters (12-1.5
feet). Hedberg reached over 3.95
meter (12-11.5 feet) to win the
event. This is Hedbergs best in-
door mark and is her first overall
victory as a Jayhawk.
Senior Kyle Clemons ran his
first 400 meters of the year and
ran his fastest race in nearly two
seasons. Clemons finished his
two lap race in 46.85 to win his
heat by almost one second, and
also win the overall victory. Mi-
chael Stigler also ran the race
with a time of 48.19 and finishing
14th overall.
Saturday in Fayetteville, Ar-
kansas, senior Andrea Geubelle
made it to the top 10 all-time
NCAA triple jump performance
list. She also claimed a new school
record, breaking the old record by
10 inches. This is a week after set-
ting a school record for the long
jump in New York at the Armory
Collegiate Invite. She has the No.
1 mark in the nation for the long
jump, as a result. Her 13.91 meter
(45-8 feet) jump on Saturday gave
her the 11th farthest jump in the
world in 2013.
The Kansas mens and womens
4x400 meter relay teams finished
the weekend in Fayetteville with
some success. The mens team,
made of Michael Stigler, Mike
Hester, Kyle Clemons and Ken-
neth McCuin were running to-
gether for the first time since the
Big 12 Championship last May.
Stigler, Hester and Clemons, who
ran a 46.14 split, put the Jayhawks
in great position for McCuin to
anchor the team to the finish line
in 3:09.98. This is the 11th fast-
est NCAA time in the 4x400 relay
this year. The womens 4x400 relay
team, which is made of Diamond
Dixon, Denesha Morris, Taylor
Washington and Rhavean King
finished with a time of 3:40.97.
In Ames, Iowa, February 7th
through 9th, several Jayhawks
earned season best performances.
On Friday, junior Alex Hermes
recorded a career best in two
events, the 60 meter dash and the
200 meter dash. In the 60 meter,
he finished in 7.15, 34th among
the competition. In the 200 meter
dash, his time was 22.46 for 26th
place. This is .3 seconds faster
than his last career best.
Freshman Nick Ucherek and
junior Teddy Oteba finished their
600 yard race neck and neck on
Friday, Ucherek finishing right
before Oteba. Ucherek beat his
previous career best with a time
of 1:13.84 and finishing 3rd place.
Oteba finished 4th place with
a time of 1:13.85. On Saturday,
junior Dominique Manley ran a
season best time of 1:12.98 in the
600 yard race. Manley finished
10th overall. As for the women
600 yard runners, junior Tim-
mie Morris had a season best of
1:27.40.
In Seattle, Washington this
past Friday and Saturday, Kan-
sas had three athletes competing
in the Husky Classic. Junior Josh
Munsch finished with a career
best. He finished fifth overall and
completed the mile in 4:03.18.
This ranks Munsch ninth in the
Big 12 this season and its also
the second time in a week that
Munsch has set a career-best.
Sophomore Reid Buchanan fin-
ished his heat in 4:10.76, improv-
ing his last personal best by two
seconds. To finish out the Friday
evening, sophomore Evan Lan-
des competed in the 5,000 meter
for the first time in his collegiate
career. He finished with 14:22.41
and grabbed the 24th spot. This is
the third fastest time by a Big 12
athlete this season.
The Kansas men and women
now have two weeks to prepare
for the Big 12 Indoor Champi-
onship in Ames, Iowa, Febu-
rary 22nd through the 23rd. The
women finished 3rd place in last
years league meet while the men
finished 10th place.

Rodney McGruder, senior guard
The Wildcats
top scorer at 15
points per game,
McGruders scor-
ing average has
increased to 16.6
points per game
in conference
play. He only
scored 13 points
when Kansas State hosted the Jayhawks
in January, but 11 of those points came
in the second half. He is shooting 49
percent from the feld in conference play
and 45 percent from three-point range.
Kansas state
(19-4, 8-2)
starters
WILL SPRADLING, GUARD
Spradling is still one of the best in the confer-
ence at taking care of the ball with a 2.7 assist-
to-turnover ratio. He averages 2.7 assists per
game, but that number has dipped signifcantly in
conference play to only 1.8 assists per game. The
Wildcats need him to be a ball distributor because
he has averaged only 6.8 points per game since
Big 12 play started.
SHANE SOUTHWELL, GUARD

Southwell certainly remembers his last game
against Kansas when he scored 19 points and
grabbed a team-high seven rebounds to help the
Wildcats nearly pull off the upset. He and Angel
Rodriguez have been the teams best scoring
complements to Rodney McGruder in conference
play, but hes only averaging 5.3 points in Kansas
States past three games.
ANGEL RODRIGUEZ, GUARD

Rodriguez dropped 20 points on 6-14 shooting
Saturday against Iowa State and hit all seven of
his free throw attempts. The sophomore has the
Big 12s best assist-to-turnover ratio of all players
with at least three assists per game with a 2.36
ratio. His 4.71 assists per game are fourth in the
conference.
RODNEY MCGRUDER, GUARD

The senior will almost certainly fnd himself
on the Big 12s All-Conference First Team at
the end of the season. He has led the Wildcats
in scoring 11 times, and his feld goal percent-
age, three-point percentage and points per game
have all increased in conference play. He led four
Wildcats in double fgures Saturday against Iowa
State with 22 points to help Kansas State take the
lead in the conference race.
JORDAN HENRIQUEZ, FORWARD

Henriquez has 10 starts on the year, includ-
ing the past four games, which were all Wildcat
victories. But even when he does start, he contrib-
utes very little to Kansas State. He played eight
minutes in the Wildcats last game against Iowa
State, missing his only shot attempt. He scored
only one point and grabbed two rebounds against
Texas Tech in the previous game in 13 minutes.
Kansas
(19-4, 7-3)
starters
ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
It was more bad moments from Elijah Johnson
down the stretch, but it appears that he continues
to work through his problems whether it is physi-
cal or between the ears. Johnson shot three of 11
from the feld and posted a 4:3 turnover ratio for
the game. The Kansas fans are frustrated with
Johnson, but until another indication, Self will
stick with Johnson as his guy.
TRAVIS RELEFORD, GUARD

Releford struggled on the defensive ends down
the stretch, but look for him to get it back on track
against Kansas State. For a ffth-year senior play-
ing in his last regular season game against the
Wildcats, he will want a solid performance on both
ends of the foor. Releford continues to be one of
the rocks for this team, but like everyone else
must show some toughness.
BEN MCLEMORE, GUARD

McLemore appears back on track after his
15-point performance in Norman. He was eff-
cient again going 6-of-10 from the foor, but still
struggled to get the amount of shots many feel
necessary for him to be an effective scorer. The
freshman sensation has not had a big moment in
a few games. This could be another game where
McLemore steps up and fashes his brilliance.
KEVIN YOUNG, FORWARD

Despite only playing 18 minutes against Okla-
homa, Young made an impact early in the game
with a few slams. Young did struggle in the game
with four fouls for most of the second half, but
managed to still be a contributor. Young does not
care whether hes coming off the bench or in the
starting lineup. At the moment, he wants to be a
senior leader.
JEFF WITHEY, CENTER

Withey continues to show some consistency
on the offensive end, but his toughness on the
defensive end remains troubling for Withey. In the
last game against Oklahoma, Withey tied Greg
Ostertags career blocks record of 258. Like every-
one else, Withey struggles to consistently to show
his toughness. But last time, he played a physical
matchup against Kansas States Thomas Gipson.

QUestion marK
plaYer to watch
mcGruder
Kansas State comes in as the new
frst-place team in the Big 12 after de-
feating Iowa State 79-70 on Saturday.
The Wildcats have won their past four
games and 12 of their past 14. A victory
would give them a two-game advantage
over Kansas and Oklahoma State in the
conference race. The Wildcats travel to
Stillwater, Okla. to play the Cowboys
in the last game of the regular season
March 9.
Who will complement Rod-
ney McGruder?
Besides McGruder, Kansas State
doesnt have anyone who averages at
least 10 points per game. It isnt likely
the Wildcats can win at the Fieldhouse
if McGruder is a one-man band. Junior
guard Shane Southwell stepped up when
the teams frst squared off in Manhat-
tan, leading all scorers with 19 points.
His scoring average has increased in
conference play to 9.5 points per game.
Will playing Kansas bring out his best
basketball again?
at a Glance
plaYer to watch
QUestion marK
Its the second edition of the Sunfower
Showdown. This time around, the Wild-
cats have the upper hand, leading the
Jayhawks by one game. Still, Kansas can
reclaim a share of the Big 12 lead with a
victory inside the Fieldhouse on Monday.
Right now, the Jayhawks are free fall-
ing after losing to a poor TCU team and
an average Oklahoma squad last week.
Kansas has already lost the most games
in a row since the 2004-05 season, and
if the team drops another game it will be
the longest losing streak since Roy Wil-
liams frst year at the helm.
Naadir Tharpe, guard
Throughout the
past few games,
Tharpe has shown
sparks of brilliance
and fearlessness.
Tharpe scored the
last four points
of the frst half
against Okla-
homa and ap-
peared ready to take over the game
when called upon. Tharpe is far from a
fnished product, but he gives Kansas
someone off the bench bringing a differ-
ent energy. Continue to have an eye on
Tharpe; he might be called upon for more
minutes in the near future.
Will Elijah Johnson break out
of his funk?
At this point, who knows. Johnson
continues to struggle on both ends of
the foor. Hes been one of the more per-
plexing players at point guard in recent
Kansas history. He has the talent to play
the position, but will his funk continue
to fester into a long stretch of games?
I guess we will fnd out the answer to-
night.
45-3 - Kansas record against
Kansas State since the 1994 season.
0-2 - Bruce Webers record
against Kansas.
800 - The amount of career
points for senior guard Travis Releford.
Kansas can sweep the Sunfower
Showdown again this year. Nothing is
more important to this team and the
athletics department than beating the
in-state rival. Despite the dominance of
the Jayhawks, there is very little conf-
dence in the Kansas fan base at the mo-
ment. That could change with a win.

Kansas is ninth with a 0.65 turnover

nUmBers
Kansas plays careless basketball.
Kansas State leads the conference in
scoring defense by giving up only 58.3
points per game. The Wildcats stingy
defense means Kansas must take ad-
vantage of every offensive possession it
has and not waste them by committing
illegal screens, bad passes or losing
control of the ball on the fastbreak.

Te Kansas women lost 72-56
to West Virginia on Saturday at
Allen Fieldhouse. Te frustrating
16-point loss was made even more
disappointing by the contrast with
the one-point win for Kansas at
WVU Coliseum a month ago.
How does that happen here?
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson
said afer con-
sidering the dis-
parity between
the two games.
Te Jayhawks
were outscored
43-28 by West
Virginia in the
second half
of Saturdays
game.
Te toughness that Kansas
showed in winning a month ago in
West Virginia was nowhere to be
found in Kansas loss on Saturday.
Te two games provide a perfect
example of how inconsistent Kan-
sas has been in playing tough bas-
ketball.
I thought we were sof, Hen-
rickson said afer the game on Sat-
urday. We didnt win the tough-
ness areas.
When Henrickson talks about
toughness areas,
shes mostly talk-
ing about things
like defections,
turnovers and re-
bounds.
T o u g h n e s s
has been a major
strength for Kansas
in some of its wins
this season, like the
frst game against West Virginia, or
the win a week ago in Manhattan
against Kansas State. Tat tough-
ness has mostly come through se-
niors making plays on important
possessions. Tat didnt happen on
Saturday.
Te Jayhawks were beat out in
the toughness areas this time, and
it wasnt close.
Te Jayhawks turned the ball
over on important possessions and
couldnt force just nine turnovers
on defense. Tey gave up 38 points
in the paint, mostly on layups, and
didnt challenge shots.
Who are we gonna beat, playing
like that? Henrickson said. No-
body.
West Virginia had a layup drill
for most of the game as Kansas
failed continually to get help de-
fenders into place.
Te Jayhawks know how to play
good team defense and how to use
help defense.
We work on that every day, se-
nior guard Monica Engelman said.
Tere was a hesitancy to get in
place on help defense, which had
a lot to do with why Henrickson
thought her team played sof.
Te Jayhawks are a team that
puts pressure on the ball, and when
West Virginia managed to get
around that pressure the inability
of Kansas to stop drives allowed for
easy scores.
Were hugging our guy instead
of being in the middle of the paint,
Engelman said. Sometimes its a
lack of focus.
Engelman scored six points
and fnished the game with no re-
bounds.
Te Jayhawks focused their of-
fense on get-
ting senior for-
ward Carolyn
Davis shots in
the paint in the
frst half, but
in the second
half when the
West Virginia
defense began
to sag of of
other players and put more pres-
sure on Davis, she managed only
two shots.
Davis scored 14 points in the
frst half and was held scoreless in
the second.
On the other side of the paint,
sophomore forward Chelsea Gard-
ner scored nine points in the sec-
ond half, but took just six shots
throughout the game.
It does make it tough when they
put two in my lap, Davis said of
trying to make a pass to Gardner
through defensive pressure, but,
I think its also a little bit of Chel-
sea needing to notice that their not
guarding her and make them guard
her. Its one of those things we need
to work on.
West Virginia was the team that
played tough defense and scored on
important possessions on Saturday.
Henrickson could only wo nder
why her team failed to match that
toughness.
Te loss drops Kansas record to
14-8, and 5-6 in the Big 12. West
Virginia is now 6-6 against the con-
ference and moves ahead of Kansas
in the standings with seven games
lef in the regular season.
Its not about who you play,
Henrickson said. Its not about
where you play. Its about how you
play.

5-6 in the big 12.

Pictures of a bar sign in
Manhattan read, Well KU, we
waited till basketball season and
here we sit in first.
With that said, this game defines
the season.
A Kansas State victory will
give Kansas two straight losses in
Allen Fieldhouse for the first time
since the 1988-89 season when
Kansas lost four consecutive home
contests. The loss would make
Kansas 11-2 in the Fieldhouse this
season, its most home losses since
a 16-2 mark in 2006-07.
Fortunately, Kansas has
dominated its little brother on
James Naismith court.
The Jayhawks have a six-game
winning streak at home against
the Wildcats. And on Big Monday
games, Kansas in 26-1, including
14-0 under Bill Self.
A victory tonight could imbue
the Jayhawks with some confidence
and rekindle the fire for the quest
of their ninth straight Big 12 title.
Remember, even though the
eight-straight conference titles are
unprecedented, Kansas is used to
not being at the top of the list
throughout the whole season.
Last year, Missouri challenged
the Jayhawks and almost escaped
the Big 12 on its move to the
SEC with the title, only falling two
games short of tying Kansas.
In 2010-11, Kansas finished
the Big 12 season on a five-game
winning streak to beat out Texas by
one game.
Even in the 2007-08
championship year, Kansas barely
received a share of the Big 12 title
with Texas because of an 83-80
Longhorn loss to Texas Tech late in
the season.
Though Kansas trails Kansas
State in the standings, its a problem
that has been fixed in previous
years.
Sure, Kansas had a crappy week,
but the team is still 19-4. There is
plenty of basketball to be played
and this year, no team has looked
completely dominant.
So, instead of hitting the panic
button, stand up and stick with
this team.
Just like previous players that
have worn the Kansas jerseys, this
team will find a way to bounce
back.
An inspirational speech
from Bill Pullman as President
Thomas J. Whitmore in the film
Independence Daycompletely
describes Kansas basketball. With
the human race on the brink of
extinction, the president calls
together the nation, saying, We
will not go quietly into the night.
We will not vanish without a fight.
Were going to live on, were going
to survive.
It is that mentality which will
forever define Kansas basketball.

L
ast Sundays Super Bowl marked
both the end of the football season
and the beginning of tireless draf
talk from ESPNs Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd
McShay. From early February to mid-April,
these experts will fll hours of air time ana-
lyzing every single draf prospect in this
years class ad nauseam. Teams wont even
report to training camp until July, so long
story short, the NFL ofseason can (and
will) become a little dry to its fans with so
much talk and so little actual football.
Tis year, however, a new topic will fnd
its way onto talk shows and into newspa-
per clippings: minority representation in
NFL coaching and managerial positions.
Black Monday, the day afer the NFLs
fnal regular season game, is always replete
with frings and subsequent hirings for
coaching and managerial positions. For
some, it is a day that calls for celebration;
for others, it is a day of disappointment
and refection. Despite its name, this day
has always had a particularly white un-
dertone.
According to the 2012 Racial and Gen-
der Report Card: National Football League
report from tidesport.org, in 2011, 81
percent of NFL head coaches were white
(16 percent black); 67 percent of assistant
coaches were white (32 percent black); 100
percent of CEOs were white; and 81 per-
cent of general managers were white (19
percent black), while 31 percent of NFL
players were white and 67 percent were
black. Based on these statistics, if you are
black and dont run a 4.5 forty or bench
400 pounds, you probably wont hear your
phone ringing, no matter how much foot-
ball you may know.
According to the same tidesport.org re-
port, half of the 12 teams in the 2011-2012
playofs had either a black head coach or
general manager: two head coaches and
four general managers. Are they geneti-
cally privy to success as coaches? No, but
it just goes to show that they have been
successful in their own right.
Te Rooney Rule, established in 2003,
requires that NFL teams interview minori-
ty candidates for head coaching and senior
football operations jobs. It was established
to ensure that minority coaches were at the
very least considered for high-level coach-
ing positions. Several critics have found
loopholes in this rule though.
Herm Edwards, a former player and for-
mer head coach of the New York Jets and
Kansas City Chiefs, said in an interview
with Yahoo: I am not saying that you have
to hire a minority candidate. I am saying
you cant be blinded. It cant be, Who is
the guy to interview to get this out of the
way?
Te last black head coach hired outright,
other than from internal promotions, was
Pittsburghs Mike Tomlin in 2007.
Should a coach be hired based on skin
color and not on merit? No. Just like an un-
dersized white tailback should not take the
job from a more deserving black player.
Tat would be injurious to the integrity of
the game, where the best players play and
the best coaches coach.
Equality of opportunity is a little dif-
ferent than equality of outcome. Equality
of opportunity should be enforced, but in
that same vein, equality of outcome should
not be required, either.

hoosiers redeem last defeat
with victory over ohio State
COLUMBUS, Ohio After a stunning loss,
the Indiana Hoosiers were on a mission to reaf-
frm just how good they were.
There was no questioning their ability Sunday.
Victor Oladipo scored a career-high 26 points,
Cody Zeller added 24 and Christian Watford 20
to lead No. 1 Indiana back from a demoralizing
loss to a huge road win in beating No. 10 Ohio
State 81-68 on Sunday.
It was putting teams away, playing to win
and not just playing for the time to run out,
Zeller said of the lessons learned from an upset
loss at Illinois on Thursday. So, we made that
adjustment pretty well.
Boy, did they. The Hoosiers dominated the
second half while making some history and stay-
ing in the thick of the Big Ten race.
We knew we let one get away from us, Wat-
ford said. At that point you just have to move on
to the next one.
The Hoosiers were coming off an epic collapse
that might have caused the undoing of many
teams. The Illini went on a 13-2 run to close the
game, with Indiana turning the ball over late and
then allowing an uncontested layup at the buzzer
of a 74-72 shocker.
Less than three days later, they more than re-
bounded with a signature win in hostile territory.
The victory was Indianas frst against a Top-
10 conference opponent in more than 20 years
since a win in 1993 at Iowa. It was also the
Hoosiers frst win against any team in the top 10
on the road since beating Notre Dame in 2000.
From the very beginning after we lost the
other night, the biggest thing for our team was
we were not going to spend a lot of our time wor-
rying about bouncing back, coach Tom Crean
said. Im proud of the way these guys responded
from a very tough loss.
Indiana, now 3-0 against Top-10 teams this
year, stayed in lock step with the leaders in the
Big Ten. The Hoosiers are now tied with Michigan
State (9-2) in the Big Ten standings. Michigan
and Wisconsin are next at 8-3, followed by Ohio
State at 7-4.
The Hoosiers mostly their triumvirate of
Oladipo, Zeller and Watford always seemed to
come up with a big play when most needed.
Today we got a lot of really good basketball
from Victor Oladipo, Cody Zeller and Christian
Watford, Crean said. (They) played as well as
a triangle three guys that you could get.
And it was on both ends of the foor.

Jayhawks sweep Iowa State
in two-day home meet
Te Kansas swimming and div-
ing team continued its strong per-
formance Saturday as it defeated
Iowa State 190-106 in the two-day
home dual meet.
Te team swept all eight events
on Saturday, bringing the fnal tally
of frst-place fnishes to 15 out of
a possible 16. Senior Brooke Brull
led the team on Saturday with two
frst-place wins, both season-best
times, during her last home meet.
Her frst-place fnishes came in the
200-yard backstroke and 200-yard
individual medley.
Brooke had an awesome meet,
Kansas assistant coach Jen Fox said
in a KU Athletics news release. She
ended her senior season with a lot
of momentum. We are very pleased
with her performance today. She
did a really good job of leading the
way with the seniors.
Te other Kansas frst-place
fnishes went to senior Svetlana
Golovchun, juniors Alison Lusk
and Malia Johnson, sophomore
Deanna Marks and freshmen Mer-
edith Brownell and Haley Molden.
Golovchun and Molden tied in the
100-yard freestyle, Lusk won the
200-yard breaststroke, Johnson
led the 500-yard freestyle, Marks
triumphed in the 100-yard butter-
fy and Brownell earned frst place
in the one-meter diving event.
Brownells score of 291.07 qualifed
her for the NCAA Zone Diving
Championship.
Iowa State was led by senior Dani
Harris and sophomore Sarah Deis.
Harris placed second in the 200-
yard backstroke and third in the
200-yard IM. Deis placed second in
the 200-yard IM.
Overall, it was a great perfor-
mance and one of our better dual
meets this season, Fox said in a
KU Athletics news release. We are
really excited about where we are.
We are going into Big 12s with a lot
of momentum, and that was one of
our goals for this weekend.
Tis meet marked the last time
eight Kansas seniors would com-
pete at home. Next up is the Big 12
Championships, from Feb. 27 to
March 2 in Austin, Texas.

to win the meet against iowa State.
The Jayhawks rolled to the
Florida International Tournament
championship Sunday, where they
fell short to the North Carolina
State Wolfpack, 3-2.
On Saturday, the Jayhawks
played Georgetown twice, defeat-
ing them both times. In the first
game against Georgetown, the
Jayhawks earned their second
run-rule victory of the Florida
International Tournament by
beating the Hoyas 9-1 in six
innings. The Jayhawks were fueled
by senior left fielder Maggie Hulls
fourth career grand slam. The
Jayhawks earned the No. 1 seed in
the tournament with their victory
against the Hoyas. The Jayhawks
played the Hoyas for the second
time later Saturday and defeated
them 5-2. The offense was still
clicking, and freshman Alex Hugo
was a double short of hitting for
the cycle while driving in four
runs. This victory put Kansas in
the championship game against
NC State.
We want to win champion-
ships, and it starts with these
tournaments, head coach Megan
Smith said. So its good that were
taking care of business.
Kansas faced NC State for the
second time this season in the
championship game of the tourna-
ment. The second meeting against
NC State proved to be much more
difficult than the first. In the first
meeting, the Jayhawks rolled over
NC State, 8-0 in six innings. In
the second meeting, the Jayhawks
fell short and lost their first game
of the season, despite a two-run
first inning and a solid relief per-
formance from freshman pitcher
Kelsey Kessler.
We came out really strong;
they answered back, and then
we just kind of fell flat, which is
something we dont normally do,
Smith said. So weve challenged
them to be fighters from inning
one to inning seven. We had a
great weekend nonetheless.
The Jayhawks relied on a
strong offense and solid pitch-
ing throughout the weekend. As
a team, Kansas hit .373 for the
weekend, scoring 30 runs on 53
hits. The Jayhawk pitchers held
teams to a .217 batting average
and struck out 33 batters.
Strong performances from a few
familiar faces and one newcomer
powered the Jayhawks through
the tournament. Hull seemed to
start the season just the way she
left off last season when she led
the Big 12 in hitting. Redshirt
junior Alex Jones seems to be
showing no ill effects from her
torn ACL last season, and Hugo
had a huge weekend as well. The
duo of Jones and Hugo finished
the weekend 19 for 31(.613) with
11 runs scored.
The Jayhawks will next travel to
Auburn, Ala., to play in the Tiger
Invitational. Kansas will play
Indiana State in the first game
Feb. 15 at 5:30 p.m.

The Kansas tennis team fell to
the No. 23 ranked University of
Tulsa 5-2 on Sunday after start-
ing its spring season 2-0.
Sunday started off with a bleak
tone as the Golden Hurricanes
swept the Jayhawks in doubles
play, which is uncharacteristic
for Kansas as the team had been
red-hot in doubles play.
A few bright spots for the
ladies came in singles play from
Dylan Windom and Anastasija
Trubica. Tulsa went 4-2 in sin-
gles play to wrap up its victory
and is now 6-2 on the season.
Freshman Maria Jose Cardona
went up against the ITA singles
No. 124 in Samantha Vickers
and was bested (6-1, 6-1).
An easy way to tell this was
an off-day for Kansas is that
Paulina Los didnt have a win.
In her previous two matches,
Los had yet to see a loss. She
and sophomore Maria Belen
Luduea had been undefeated in
doubles play, but Tulsa changed
that.
No loss is welcome, but some
losses are valuable in that les-
sons can be learned. With
playing the best players in the
country nothing comes easy,
and head coach Amy Hall-Holt
knows that. But she is pleased
with how her team is compet-
ing and thinks it is still on the
right track.
Kansas isnt back in action
until Feb. 15 when the team
travels to Charleston, S.C., to
take on Charleston Southern.
On Feb. 16, the Jayhawks go
up against No. 66 College of
Charleston. Kansas doesnt
return to action in Lawrence
until Feb. 23 when the Kentucky
Wildcats come to town.

BOSTON Duke coach Mike
Krzyzewski watched as all three
teams ahead of the Blue Devils
in The Associated Press Top 25
lost this week. Then he came to
Chestnut Hill and nearly joined
them.
Nothing about today was
easy, Krzyzewski said Sunday
night after No. 4 Duke overcame
early and late deficits to beat
Boston College 62-61. These
are games anybody can lose, and
throughout the country every-
body is losing them. Our guys
found a way to win against a
team that was also deserving to
win, so thats a real good thing.
Mason Plumlee had 19 points
and 10 rebounds, hitting the
game-winning free throw with 26
seconds left to lead Duke (21-2,
8-2 Atlantic Coast Conference)
to its fifth consecutive win. Seth
Curry added 18 points for the
Blue Devils.
Olivier Hanlan scored 20
points for Boston College, which
led by five points with 2:15 left
and had a chance to win it after
Plumlee made one of two free
throws.
Duke went scoreless for the
first five minutes of the game
and trailed by as many as eight
points, 13-5, in the first half. It
led 21-14 before scoring 11 of
the next 14 points, taking its first
lead of the game on Plumlees
three-point play with 1 minute
left in the first half.
It was 27-all at the half before
Curry and Cook hit 3-point-
ers and Curry followed with a
four-point play that gave Duke a
39-34 lead.
Duke pulls off narrow win
against boston College, 62-61
