Jayhawk Boulevard may look a

little different when you come back

to Lawrence next August.
Thats because the KU Office
of Design and Construction
Management and KU Endowment
have teamed up to make major
renovations over the next four sum-
mers to the boulevards asphalt and
concrete pavement, underground
tunnel, storm drainage system and
foliage surrounding the iconic ave-
nue.
Originating three years ago, the
idea was pushed through University
approval recently for the construc-
tions minimal effect on students,
and its intent to update one of the
Universitys most storied locales.
The first phase of the project will
greet returning students next fall
with development from the Chi-
Omega fountain to Poplar Street,
east of Snow Hall. And students can
expect to encounter something they
havent experienced on the boule-
vard since 1973 shade from the
sun.
It was around this time that trees
planted over a century ago on the
boulevard began succumbing to
Dutch Elm disease, which has, in
the forty years since, decimated this
greener facet of the boulevard. Part
of the construction plan includes
rebuilding this canopy that genera-
tions of the past have come to asso-
ciate with the University.
Many students who grew up
in my era remember the canopy,
University architect and direc-
tor of Design and Construction
Management Jim Modig said. The
Chancellor has even said its an
important thing that weve lost. We
need to do these projects not just for
our own generations but for genera-
tions in years future.
The canopy plank of the master
plan is headed by KU Endowment,
which plans to invest $1 million
into Boulevard beautification with
the addition of over 200 trees and
wide distribution of new shrubbery
and grasses.
I really believe its the beauty of
the campus that makes KU a special
place, said Assistant Vice President
of Endowment Dale Flusser. Im
proud to see KU taking these steps
to enhance our University.
But the renovations are function-
al, too. Modig points out that its
been a long time since weve done
anything with Jayhawk [Boulevard].

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Burton Gepford moved into
his house a year and a half ago.
After taking two days to build a
new fence with a couple of family
members, he knew that the fence
needed to be stained.
Gepford was one of hundreds
of people who received help from
students, faculty and staff volun-
teers of the University. About 35
volunteers helped Gepford stain
his wood fence. He said that is was
fun hearing everyone talk and col-
laborate to get a project done.
A big thank you goes out to
them because I cant imagine get-
ting it done by myself, Gepford
said.
KU Memorial Unions host-
ed its third annual Big Event on
Saturday. The Big Event is a full
day of service from members of the
University volunteering at various
sites around the community.
Participation has increased dras-
tically since the first year of the Big
Event. In 2011, about 500 volun-
teers completed projects at 80 job
sites in Lawrence neighborhoods.
Last year, 2,000 volunteers per-
formed tasks at 200 job sites. This
year had the largest participation
rate so far with 3,000 volunteers at
400 job sites.
Lauren Reinhart, a senior from
Kansas City, Mo., was The Big
Events executive director this year.
She said they added 30 commit-
tee members this year and pushed
harder to get the word out.
Theres no other organization
like this on campus that brings all
students together, Reinhart said.
She said that you dont have to
sign up in teams and individuals
can get to know others while work-
ing with the community.
Its unique, Reinhart said.
Theres nothing else like it at this
scale.
Gepford used to work fore the
University and has participated in
several volunteer and outreach pro-
grams in the past. He said that hes
ecstatic for The Big Event because
it helps the community out with
projects and its been a great event
for the University. He said that this
is one of the few times hes gotten
the help because hes usually the
one giving it.
People always feel better about
giving than receiving, Gepford
said. You look at a project that
you just did and get an overall joy
from it.
Trace Bowen, a freshman from
Hutchinson, helped paint a fence
at one of the days locations. Bowen
volunteered after he heard about
The Big Event through one of his
fraternity brothers and said he
wanted to do it for the good of the
cause.
It was good seeing the person
helping also and getting involved
with us, Bowen said.
A group of about 15 girls from
the Chi Omega sorority helped
paint a fence and wooden benches,
moved dirt and picked up leaves
at the Haskell Catholic Campus
Center. The project took about
four hours to complete.
Katie Krska, a freshman from
Olathe, said it was a good ground-
ing experience because sometimes
projects like this take a while and
its easy to underestimate the time.
She said seeing how appreciative
they were was rewarding because
usually jobs like this take several
hours.
All of us are very thankful that
someone organized something like
this for us to do, Krska said.

big event, big turnout
Armed with the 21-page
2013 Election Code handbook,
the Student Senate Elections
Commission is considering
alleged campaign violations
after Sunday nights hearing. The
unprecedented 25 percent voter
turnout made for a competitive
campaign season where each
coalition watched the other for
possible infringements of elec-
tion protocols.
Ad Astra and KUnited coali-
tions collectively face 29 alleged
violations. Last year, only 4 viola-
tions were reported.
Both the coalitions were
very competitive and very seri-
ous, said Caleb McIntosh, the
Elections Commissioner and a
sophomore from Carney. We
expected this.
The extensive reports on
alleged violations included blurry
camera phone photos, Facebook
event screenshots, forwarded
emails and official meeting min-
utes.
Ultimately, two groups of stu-
dents wanted to win over the stu-
dent body and both groups felt
that breaking the rules wasnt the
way to do it, said Mark Savoy, the
KUnited School of Law Senator
Elect, from Overland Park.
The Elections Commission
read each alleged violations inci-
dent report, clarified details and
allowed representatives of each
coalition to respond and plead
to or frequently refute the com-
plaint.
For example, Emma Halling,
Ad Astra Vice Presidential Elect,
spoke in front of one of her class-
rooms to announce that vot-
ing was open and all students
should participate in the elec-
tion. While this announcement
was non-partisan, she was wear-
ing an Ad Astra T-shirt. The
KUnited incident report argues
that the announcement qualifies
as campaigning for her coalition,
breaking Election Code 409.A.3,
which bars campaigning inside
university-owned buildings.
If wearing a T-shirt is to be
considered campaigning, then we
have several thousand violations
that happened last week that we
need to pursue, said Halling, a
junior from Elkhart, Ind.
Many of the above listed
alleged violations were thorough-
ly refuted; some were plead. Both
coalitions and all individuals spe-
cifically involved attended yester-
days two-hour hearing panel to
be adjudicated or acquitted.
It was a necessary evil to make
sure that the integrity of the elec-
tion was followed through, said
Marcus Tetwiler, the Ad Astra
Student Body President Elect, a
junior from Paola.
While the list of alleged vio-
lations is extensive, both coali-
tions expressed that policing each
other is exclusive to the campaign
season.
The campaign is over,
Tetwiler said. Were going for-
ward. Were looking toward how
we can actually get these jobs
done.
Violation reports, McIntosh
said, help to fulfill and validate
the democratic process.
If everyone is going to be
looking at what youve done, its
going to make you be more con-
sistent with how the elections
code forces you to be, McIntosh
said. The more violations cre-
ates an incentive for you to act
according to what the code tells
you.
Violations in years past have
been punished by fines against
the coalition, such as a $25 fine
for violating chalking codes.
Both coalitions will be notified
within 48 hours of the meeting
on the verdicts of the cases and
the sanction recommendations
by the panel.

The water lines beneath the bou-
levard have not been replaced since
they were first installed, under-
ground access tunnels are in dan-
ger of collapsing on workers and
accessible ramps constructed near
buildings years ago are not currently
up to code.
When we first talked about this
master plan, we realized we needed
to make this happen quickly, Modig
said. Whats going on underground
is something in need of attention,
and when you add in the possi-
bilities for innovation on the street
level, it just all comes together.
The plan met some initial financial
hardship after it was first hatched.
Besides a limited source of fund-
ing, the Construction Management
Team was unsure of whether its
purpose should be to maintain the
internal functioning of buildings
or whether the department should
extend its responsibility to campus
beautification projects.
Since then, an inflow of cash and
a recent reassessment of depart-
mental priorities have allowed the
Universitys project to finally take
flight.
Were also studying the poten-
tial for putting a bike path down
the center of the Boulevard, Modig
said. When buses load and unload,
they have to pull over to the side
where bikers usually are in their
blind spots.
The potential bike lane will be
evaluated this summer and would
be fully operational Fall 2015.
With a hefty load on the
Construction Management
Departments plate, including such
projects as replacing McCollum
Hall, constructing a new business
school and expanding Learned Hall,
the project ahead wont come with-
out toil. But all parties involved are
hopeful that their visions become
reality.
I think we should build some-
thing that will make us proud of the
University, Modig said. Thats why
Im excited about this project and
am excited for the future it holds.

Record student-voter turnout elects Ad Astra
EMMA LEGAULt
elegault@kansan.com
It wasnt that Ad Astra presi-
dential candidate Marcus Tetwiler
was too overconfident or call-
ing the election early, but before
the results rolled in at 6:32 p.m.
on Thursday, Tetwiler thought
that the record-high 25-percent
voter turnout was in itself a vic-
tory for the party as well as the
University.
We already have won, Tetwiler
said.
The unofficial announce-
ment that Ad Astra had won the
Student Senate election, which
was released from the Kansan
Twitter, confirmed Tetwilers
statement.
Cheers erupted and tears were
shed as candidates embraced and
celebrated with the news that
their hard work had paid off. For
a campaign focused on inclusion
and diversity, the individuals in
the room demonstrated the tight-
knit bond that Ad Astra hopes to
bring to Student Senate and the
student population.
With the victory, Tetwiler, a
junior from Paola, and Emma
Halling, a junior from Elkhart,
Ind., will fill their respective titles
as student body president and
vice president next fall.
Im ready to get some work
done. Im ready to actually do
what we promised to do. Im
ready to look at our platforms
and work as hard as we can to get
those done, Tetwiler said. We
have a mandate from the student
body to get work done. Its big-
ger than myself; its bigger than
Ad Astra. Its a victory for our
University. Our University won
tonight; our University is going to
win next year.
Although they both said they
were running on few hours of
sleep, Tetwiler and Halling
thought the experience was
exhausting but also immersive
and encouraging.
There are so many people on
campus who got excited about
something that didnt exist a year
ago and really believed in it,
Halling said.
The process taught Halling that
she could step up and fill a role
that she hadnt always been com-
fortable in.
I honestly never thought that
I could be a spokesperson, that I
could be on the top of anything,
Halling said. I always thought I
was a behind-the-scenes person.
They gave credit to the deter-
mination and steadfastness of
members of their campaign and
the support of those who werent
directly involved.
With one in four students cast-
ing a vote this year, Ad Astras
goal of increasing voter turnout
has already been met.
There were people who we
never touched as a campaign
who sat in a dorm room and
read things and said, you know
what, I identify with this, and I
am empowered enough to vote,
Halling said. For that kid who I
dont know to vote is amazing.
Soon after hearing of the party
victory, Clinton Webb, a fresh-
man from Leawood and a new
representative for the freshmen
and sophomores in the College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences, saw
his name on the list. He described
the moment as euphoric.
To him, Ad Astra means fam-
ily.
Its been amazing; its been
stressful, Webb said. Ive met a
lot of awesome people.
Ashlie Koehn, a sophomore
non-traditional student senator
from Burns, said the victory was
an accumulation of months of
hard work, but it doesnt stop
there. She said shes looking for-
ward to passionately representing
her constituents.
Were such a diverse group
with so many different needs
than the regular student popula-
tion, Koehn said. I would love
to make sure that Student Senate
is able to cater to that a little bit
more than they have been in the
past.
This is the reason for the cam-
paigns success, said Halling.
Every person in this campaign
took ownership and said, This is
my Student Senate, Halling said.
And thats what its all about.
During the campaign, Tetwiler
stressed his desire for an open
Senate and giving every student
an opportunity to engage.
If anyone at the University
wants to come in and meet myself
or Emma or the Student Senate,
our doors are open. Please come
in, Tetwiler said. We want our
experience of Student Senate to
be something that everyone at
our University is engaged in, and
we want it to be a democratic
experience where everyone can
feel a part of it.
As the group hugged, rock
chalk chanted and yelled in relief
and exhilaration, one member was
heard above all, reminding them
that they now have the power to
make the University better.
And thats exactly what Tetwiler
has in mind.
I want everyone to feel like
their voice can be represented,
Tetwiler said. This is KU. We
deserve a competitive system,
and were going to bring it.

SNOQUALMIE PASS, Wash.
A female snowshoer has died hours
after she was dug out of an ava-
lanche by fellow hikers, and a man
remained missing Sunday, one day
after a pair of spring avalanches
struck separate groups hiking in
the Cascade Mountains east of
Seattle, authorities in Washington
state said.
Sgt. Katie Larson with the King
County Sheriff s Office said a team
of rescuers worked through the
night in blizzard-like conditions to
carry the female snowshoer off the
mountain just after midnight.
Medics confirmed that she had
died when they reached the base of
the mountain, Larson said.
The conditions yesterday were
horrific, Larson said Sunday. It
took 25 rescuers about five to six
hours to bring her off the moun-
tain in a sled.
The woman, whose identity
was not known, had been hiking
with her dog near a group of a
dozen other people Saturday after-
noon when an avalanche hit Red
Mountain near Snoqualmie Pass
east of Seattle.
She was buried in five feet of
snow but was dug out with the
help of the group of snowshoers,
who had also been caught in the
avalanche.
Members of that group told
authorities that it took them 45
minutes to find the woman. They
did their best to try to warm her
up, Larson said.
This is the first avalanche fatality
reported in Washington state for the
2012-2013 season, according to the
Northwest Weather and Avalanche
Center in Seattle. Nationwide, 16
others have died avalanches this
season, according to the Colorado
Avalanche Information Center.
There was a heavy snow dump
last night, and conditions are still
very hazardous, Larson said.
This past weekend the University
sent a delegation of students to the
annual Southern Regional Model
United Nations Conference in
Charlotte, N.C.
Model U.N. offers a unique
experience because you are prac-
ticing diplomacy in an environ-
ment that models the actual U.N.,
said Joey Hentzler, President of KU
Model U.N.
Either as a group or individually,
students address a range of issues
from the perspective of a foreign
delegate.
Model U.N. also allows stu-
dents to build skills in research,
public speaking and communica-
tion while gaining a perspective on
issues ranging from biodiversity to
human rights. said Hentzler.
The conference, which ran from
April 11 through 13, allowed stu-
dents to compete against a number
of different schools and showcase
the skills that they have developed
over the course of the semester.
The student delegates were respon-
sible for representing Russia, Chile,
Spain and Turkey at the confer-
ence.
To prepare for the conference,
the delegates spent exhaustive
hours studying general history,
background, current events and
foreign policies for the four coun-
tries that they were assigned for the
conference.
After doing their preliminary
research, the students had to pre-
pare position papers that highlight-
ed all of the pertinent information
they had found in their research.
Kansas delegate Alex Bindley was
the only participant at the confer-
ence to receive a 100 percent score
on his position paper, which is now
being used as an example on the
official website for the conference.
Once the Kansas delegates
arrived at the conference they par-
ticipated in committee sessions
that ranged from eight to 12 hours
with minimal breaks throughout.
A Dais, which was comprised of
both members from the event staff
as well as a distinguished few stu-
dent representatives, oversaw these
sessions. One of KUs members,
Anna Wenner, wasselected to serve
on the Dais at the conference.
At the end of the conference the
KU delegation received 8 different
individual and group distinctions.
The conference staff selected half
of these awards while the partici-
pating students chose the others.
The delegation, which is com-
prised of 19 members, was very
happy with the results of the con-
ference and cant wait for another
chance to showcase their skills.
Students interested in learning
more about the program can attend
general meetings every Tuesday at
6pm in Watson Library Rm. 302,
or contact them at KansasMUN@
gmail.com.
The program is still growing
and is always open to interested
students, said Hentzler.

i agree with the Kansans interpreta-

To the guy smoking the e-cig inSidE
Bailey, next time you are getting more
than just a dirty look.
There is literally one job that
boyfriends MuST do: provide soup and
snuggles to their sick girlfriends. Which
basically makes mine worthless since he
did neither.

i love storms.

one advantage to being a nontradi-

accosted by the student senate groups
because they think im too old to vote.
Put this in the FFa.
a girl wearing a hat is the universal

Sooo im thinking Harry Potter.
Sometimes i take toilet paper and
trash bags from the bathrooms on cam-

With the student senate elections
being over, my commute time from class

L
ast weeks Student Senate
election was a watershed
moment in the gover-
nance of this university. The
student body answered the
call for greater participation
in elections, bringing the voter
turnout to 25 percent of the
student body. Thats a three-fold
increase from last years dismal
numbers, and evidence that, if
people are invested in a cause,
theyre willing to take five min-
utes and click a couple of but-
tons on a webpage to make their
voices heard.
In all seriousness, the stu-
dents deserve an acknowledge-
ment: They chose to actively
engage the issues surrounding
their campus, their community,
and made some change happen.
Sure, college students are fickle.
If you get them to care, however,
theyre willing to give you some
of their time.
So, we on the Kansan
Editorial Board want to follow
up this unprecedented action
with a final word on the matter.
Its kind of like Spider Man:
Uncle Ben reminds Peter Parker
that, With great power comes
great responsibility. Or was
that Voltaire? Either way, the
words carry weight. They also
highlight the need for this years
round of elected senators and
executives to follow through
with the solutions and policies
presented in their platforms.
Because, in many ways, this
is an experiment. This is their
chance to show that they mean
it.
The democratic system that
voters imbue with their sov-
ereignty is a powerful thing
indeed. With the full mandate of
the people, a democracy gath-
ers a consensus and, if practiced
in an ideal way, develops a
compromise among constituent
groups and executes policies by
the people, for the people. An
ideal democratic body doesnt
exist in reality thats why its
an ideal.
But, its in the pursuit of the
ideal that people and organiza-
tions accomplish previously
unthinkable goals. Thats what
the student body should expect
from its newly formed Senate
coalition: Representatives who
try everything they can to main-
tain their promises and, even in
the face of compromise, deliver
on the issues that concern their
constituents.
The executives and senators
from Ad Astra, along with the
other independent senators
and incumbents who won seats
in Senate, have been given an
unprecedented opportunity.
They have to prove that they
mean business by actually doing
something with this opportu-
nity. Its easy to cast a ballot; its
difficult to translate it into poli-
cy. Similarly, its easy to promise
responsibility, but its difficult
to stay true. Politics is full of
obstacles its practically a part
of the definition and the true
test of those designated to lead
is overcoming those obstacles.
Of course, those who repre-
sent wont know what to do or
what their constituents want if
those constituents dont hold up
their end of the social contract.
Theres a reason why we in the
West use the metaphor of a con-
tract to define the social agree-
ment between those in charge
and those they represent. If one
party doesnt hold up its end of
the bargain, the whole system
falls apart.
This principle, which might
seem a bit highfalutin and
sophisticated for University
governance, applies even at this
level. Thats how pervasive it is.
Thus, we have an addendum:
the Senators are responsible
for the action, and the students
are responsible for the vote.
Students must continue to
engage the campus community
in order to preserve this sea
change and the positive conse-
quences it will have for life at
the University.
While the campus experi-
enced a notable political event
last week, the work is just
beginning. In this election, the
students (at least 25 percent of
the students) held up their end
of the bargain. Going forward,
the goal for all parties involved,
representative and represented
alike, should be to at least main-
tain this level of engagement or
surpass it. Clearly, students care
about the University. Similarly,
the Senators and executives care
enough to make the will of the
students a reality.
Thus, all components of
University governance must
maintain this momentum in
meeting the challenges to come.
You took the time to vote, after
all. Why not prove that it was
worth it?

A
ll I wanted to do was get
back to Lawrence. With
10 minutes to spare, I
boarded the Southwest Chief
sitting in Kansas Citys Amtrak
station, all the while being glared
at by a bitter old conductor with
frizzy blonde hair and her short,
squat attendant.
As I hauled my luggage onto
the train, I saw a very large fam-
ily occupying the seats across
from me not to mention the
seat Id been assigned to, which
was being kept warm by a little
8-year-old girl. All in all, the
group comprised two kids, their
mother, and three grown men.
I honestly couldnt figure out
which of these men was the kids
father; maybe they were too lazy
to get a paternity test done and
decided it would be easier just to
share the kids?
I didnt want to block up the
aisle with my luggage, but I had
nowhere else to go, which forced
the aged conductor to turn side-
ways and shuffle awkwardly past
me like some sort of geriatric
crab, coming very close to grind-
ing on the side of my pelvis. I felt
a bit awkward, but it would have
been worse for me if Id been in
the place of one of the numer-
ous fathers of this little girl, who,
despite the conductors pleas in
the sweetest (but still vitriolic)
baby-talk she could muster,
refused to get up. The monosyl-
labic argument between the two
escalated to the point where the
conductor started to shoo the
girl off of the seat with a quick
swatting motion that I feared
would break her brittle wrists if
she kept it up. Finally, one of the
dads intervened, picking the girl
up and putting her in the seat
beside him.
The conductor turned and left
the car, saying, Well be back
through in five minutes to check
your tickets. I sat in silence for
about 20 minutes before she
came back with a scanner and a
flashlight and demanded gruffly,
Ticket and a photo ID. As I
forked over the documents, I
realized she hadnt stopped to
check the ID of anyone else on
the train. Just me. And then I
shuddered a bit at the fact that
I apparently looked more sus-
picious than any of the three
fathers sitting across from me.
Meanwhile, another attendant
was checking the tickets of the
couple seated in front of me.
Where are you going? she
asked.
The young woman, wearing
floral leggings, hipster glasses
and a dirty beret and smell-
ing of something illicit, replied
hazily, Topeka, but maybe to
Albuquerque.
What do you mean?
Im going to Topeka, but I
might be going to Albuquerque.
Its not that complicated.
While the Southwest Chief
attendant and the stoner tried to
hash out exactly where she was
trying to go, the little girl across
from me was playing with her
mothers phone, and, for some
reason, had begun shouting out
the names of colors. Interspersed
with barely-audible arguments
for why a ticket to Topeka should
entitle a rider to 700 extra miles
on the rails were high-pitched
yelps of Yellow! Purple! Red!
After a couple of repetitions of
this, the closest of the fathers
decided hed had enough and
gave the little girl a light slap on
the arm. Shaddup, he barked.
Sir? The conductor tapped
me on the shoulder. Well be in
Lawrence in about 20 to 40 min-
utes. We dont make announce-
ments. What the hell do you
mean you dont make announce-
ments? How am I supposed to
know where my stop is? Maybe
this is what the hipster chick
meant: I want to go to Topeka,
but, if I miss my stop because
of your negligence to properly
inform me when it is, Im pun-
ishing you by riding this sucker
all the way to New Mexico!
Green! I started, my train
of thought jumping the tracks.
Shaddup! the father countered.
Smack.
In about 20 minutes, the train
rolled to a stop. This must be it,
I thought as I grabbed my bags
from above and headed for the
exit, only to be stopped by the
old conductor. Where do you
think youre going?
Trains stopped, I said.
Were refueling. Get back in
your seat, the woman shot back,
with at least a pint of venom in
her voice. If she thought I was
suspicious when I got on, she
probably thinks Im the next
Osama bin Laden now, and I
sensed that, if I said another
word, Id be kicked off out of fear
that I was going to hijack the
train and run it into a farmhouse
or something.
The train finally rolled into
Lawrence 30 minutes later, and
I jumped off quickly, taking care
not to make eye contact with
anyone. As the doors closed and
the engine got ready to roll off
into the night, I swore I could
still hear a string of primary col-
ors emanating from the car in a
shrill, grating voice.
All this is to say Id sooner
throw myself in front of an
Amtrak train than ride it. Your
mileage may vary (although I
doubt youll be able to vary it as
far as Albuquerque).

n case youve been under
a rock for the past month,
you know how stupid North
Korea has been acting. For those
of you rock dwellers, glori-
ous leader Kim Jong-Un and
his North Korea have actually
declared war on the U.S. and
threatened to nuke us. This is the
same North Korea that has zero
satellites, and its former leader
Kim Jong-Il was the worlds
number-one buyer of Hennessy.
There arent many moments
when you get to laugh at a coun-
try with nuclear weapons, but
this is one of them.
There are a lot of analogies
I could use to describe North
Korea trying to attack the U.S.,
but the one that is most accurate
is a very hungry David slinging
a rock 20 miles at a tank. Now,
if North Korea wanted to nuke
South Korea, they might be able
to do a pretty good job of that,
because South Korea is right next
to North Korea, and the best
North Korean rockets can go
6,000 km, according to analysts
being quoted by almost every
major news source.
So if Kim Jong-Un wanted to
nuke Lawrence (which is 10,000
km from Pyongyang, the capital
of North Korea), his rockets
would somehow have to travel
an extra 4,000 km, which is a
really, really long way. That is,
if his missiles could somehow
cross the giant defense grid the
U.S. Navy currently has covering
the Pacific Ocean. If any of the
giant floating radar installations
pick up any activity from North
Korea, there would be a U.S.
rocket intercepting that missile
within 45 minutes (which is like
a bullet going 1,500 mph shoot-
ing down another bullet going
1,500 mph which is awesome).
Or, the one of the Navys new
laser cannons could shoot down
the nuke. Last Monday, the Navy
tested its new ship-borne laser
defense system. The laser passed
with flying colors, shooting
down a drone midflight, which
entailed targeting said plane,
blinding said planes radar and
cameras with a smaller laser, and
then shooting said plane with a
beam of light intense enough to
set metal on fire.
OK, lets do some math.
Chance that a North Korean
rocket will magically travel
10,000 km when it only has fuel
for 6,000 km: zero. Chances that
a North Korean rocket makes
it past U.S., South Korean, and
Japanese defense systems in the
Pacific: maybe 1 in 50,000. So,
zero times 1/50,000 is Would
you look at that? Zero percent.
There is no way a North Korean
nuke is hitting the U.S. OK. Our
turn.
Who has the largest air force
in the world? The U.S. Air
Force. Who has the second larg-
est air force in the world? The
U.S. Navy. The U.S. now only
has 3,051 nukes, which is about
3,025 more nukes than what
North Korea has. Of the worlds
21 aircraft carriers, the U.S. owns
11. The U.S. is on its own level
of destructive power, so we can
handle ourselves. Now, remem-
ber that China, South Korea and
Japan will all help take care of
North Korea if it tries anything.
I admit, talking about nuclear
war like its some pissing contest
is a terrible thing. But Kim Jong-
Un is likely crazy and could do
some terrible things to Asia. But
hes not going to. Hes crazy, not
stupid. Kims nuclear weapons
are his chess pieces. He cant use
them because theyre the only
things giving him strength over
his people and other countries.
So sleep tight, North America,
North Korea will not be shoot-
ing missiles at us. And even if
they tried to, they would miss by
thousands of kilometers. Murica.

With graduation comes the
dreaded gown. And with the
dreaded gown comes the equally
dreaded cap. Why must such a
monumental event in students
lives (where countless pictures
are taken) require shapeless uni-
forms?
The world will never know.
Happy memories from the last
four years of college will surely be
the last thing on my mind when I
reluctantly put on the itchy grad-
uation gown and cap and head
down the hill two years from now.
Rather, Ill be thinking about how
my outfit is being covered.
You may wonder, given these cir-
cumstances, why youd even both-
er with buying something special
for graduation day. However, dont
let the cap and gown become an
excuse to let fashion slide. Pictures
from college graduation will be
shown to children and grandchil-
dren. The cap and gown are bad
enough, but they will come off
eventually, so the outfit under-
neath should make up for the lost
fashion time.
The most important part of
your graduation outfit is your shoe
choice. Walking down the hill and
across a stage in front of thousands
of people in heels is asking for
trouble. Save yourself the pain and
possible embarrassment, and go
for something you can easily strut
around in. As soon as the cere-
mony is over with, you can always
switch into heels or pumps if nec-
essary. Not only should your shoes
be comfortable, but they should
be stylish. Theyre the only part
of your outfit that will be visible
the entire day. The cap and gown
will be covering your clothing the
majority of the time, so your shoes
should say it all.
As for actual clothes, pick
something out that makes you feel
good. Its your big day, and your
outfit should reflect that, even if
it is hidden during the ceremony.
Maxi dresses and skirts with flo-
rals and other prints are all good
options to take. Following any of
these fashion steps will have you
graduating with honors.

Bieber criticized for note
at the anne Frank house
associated press
AMSTERDAM Justin Bieber
wrote an entry into a guestbook at
the Anne Frank House museum in
Amsterdam, saying he hoped the
Jewish teenager who died in a Nazi
concentration camp would have
been a Belieber or fan of his if
history were different.
The message triggered a flood of
comments on the museums Facebook
page Sunday, with many criticizing
the 19-year-old Canadian pop star for
writing something they perceive to be
insensitive.
Calls made and emails sent
to Biebers publicist and agent in
Los Angeles werent immediately
returned.
Museum spokeswoman Maatje
Mostart confirmed that Bieber visited
Friday evening. She said the museum
was happy to have received Bieber
and didnt see anything offensive in
his remarks.
Anne Frank hid with her family in
a small apartment above a warehouse
during the Nazi occupation of World
War II. Her family was caught and
deported, and Anne died of typhus in
Bergen-Belsen in 1945.
The diary she kept in hiding was
recovered and published after the war
and has become the most widely read
document from the Holocaust.
Biebers whole note read: Truly
inspiring to be able to come here.
Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she
would have been a Belieber.
Biebers remarks led to criticism
from some quarters, as a Facebook
response insulting Bieber received
more than 1,000 likes slightly
more than the museums original post
about the incident.
Meanwhile on Twitter, posts
mocking Bieber and imagining he
had visited the museum and walked
away thinking only of himself began
circulating Sunday, though the mes-
sage is open to interpretation.
Some of Biebers 37 million follow-
ers also tweeted messages of support.
Others in his fan base which is
heavily weighted toward young girls
tweeted that they didnt know who
Anne Frank was.
Frank was 13 years old when she
began keeping her diary in 1942.
Like many teenage girls, she made a
collage of the celebrities of her day
movie stars, dancers and royalty
and kept it on her bedroom wall.
Our little room looked very bare
at first with nothing on the walls; but
thanks to Daddy who had brought
my film-star collection and picture
postcards ... with the aid of a paste
pot and brush, I have transformed the
walls into one gigantic picture, she
wrote on July 11, 1942, just days after
going into hiding. This makes it look
much more cheerful.
Many of those pictures can still
be seen on the walls of the museum
Bieber visited Friday.
Bieber has had a tough few weeks
in Europe. He had to leave a mon-
key in quarantine after landing in
Germany without the necessary
papers for the animal. Before that, the
19-year-old singer had a trying stay
in London. The star struggled with
his breathing and fainted backstage
at a show, was taken to a hospital and
then was caught on camera clashing
with a paparazzo. Days earlier, he was
booed by his fans when he showed up
late to a concert.
He performed in Arnhem,
Netherlands, on Saturday night, and
will next perform three nights in
Oslo, Norway.

If the Chicago Marathon could
be compared to a runners Goliath,
then Molly Moreland is its David.
She speaks in a quiet voice that
expands with confidence as she
describes the journey of her inten-
sive six-month training regimen for
the 26.2-mile run.
Moreland, a junior studying
history and pre-law, remembers
the exact day she started running.
July 9, 2011, was the day she says
changed her life. Pre-diabetic,
overweight and at her wits end,
Molly drove to a nearby trail deter-
mined to run as far as she possibly
could. She remembers all the sen-
sory details;the shades of the leaves
on the trees, the way the sunlight
reflected through the woods, and
the post-run feeling that something
big had happened.
The scariest thing is starting,
Moreland says, Its challenging
yourself to do something you dont
think you can do. It pushes you
outside your comfort zone.
Moreland began a positive evo-
lution, overcoming her fears and
making mile-by-mile goals. Little
by little her confidence and endur-
ance grew, and in the process she
lost fifty pounds and reversed her
pre-diabetes.
Molly ran a half-marathon in
Lawrence last April, completing the
full 13.1 miles. After achieving that
milestone, she began dreaming of
running in the Chicago Marathon.
It has a certain je ne sais
quoi,especially with entry being so
coveted. she explains. Its every
runners dream.
Encouraged in her diet and gym
goals by her fianc, Molly finally
decided to enter.
It was serendipitous, Moreland
said, because initially I wasnt even
sure I could participate.
On the day that online registra-
tion opened, so many people scram-
bled for one of the 45,000 spots that
the system crashed. Several days
later, the marathon announced
that 15,000 of those spots would
be raffled off in a random lottery.
Moreland and her friend both
entered the raffle, with Moreland
winning the chance to run.
Moreland started brainstorming
on how to turn her dream into a
reality. She began training six days
a week, with a schedule gradually
leading her up to 20-mile daily runs
by Oct. 13. In addition to train-
ing, she wanted to see her running
have a positive effect on others.
Moreland decided to try fundrais-
ing, and focused on her passion for
animals. She wrote to 30 animal
shelters and Wayside Waifs con-
tacted her right away. The largest
pet adoption center in Kansas City,
Wayside Waifs is a non-profit ani-
mal shelter with a no-kill policy.
Molly mentioned running the
marathon was a huge personal
goal, said Megan Harding, man-
ager of special events at the shel-
ter. Adding a charitable element
takes it to another level. Helping the
greater community through that
goal is in line with our mission here
at Wayside Waifs.
In exchange for paying the
registration fee and sponsoring
Morelands race, she is fundraising
for Wayside Waifs. Her goal is to
raise $1,000 for the charity.
It sounds so clich, Moreland
said, but running is that one thing
that makes me feel good about
myself. And its enabling me to
spread that through the commu-
nity. I think everyone needs to find
that.

comedian Jonathan Winters dies,
remembered for improvisations
associated press
LOS ANGELES Jonathan
Winters, the cherub-faced come-
dian whose breakneck improvisa-
tions and misft characters inspired
the likes of Robin Williams and Jim
Carrey, has died. He was 87.
Te Ohio native died Tursday
evening at his Montecito, Calif.,
home of natural causes, said Joe
Petro III, a longtime friend. He was
surrounded by family and friends.
Winters was a pioneer of impro-
visational standup comedy, with an
exceptional gif for mimicry, a grab
bag of eccentric personalities and a
bottomless reservoir of creative en-
ergy. Facial contortions, sound ef-
fects, tall tales all could be used
in seconds to get a laugh.
Jonathan Winters was the wor-
thy custodian of a sparkling and
childish comedic genius. He did
Gods work. I was lucky 2 know
him, Carrey tweeted on Friday.
On Jack Paars television show in
1964, Winters was handed a foot-
long stick, and he swifly became
a fsherman, violinist, lion tamer,
canoeist, U.N. dip-
lomat, bullfghter,
futist, delusional
psychiatric patient,
British headmaster
and Bing Crosbys
golf club.
As a kid, I al-
ways wanted to be
lots of things, he
told U.S. News &
World Report in
1988. I was a Walter Mitty type. I
wanted to be in the French Foreign
Legion, a detective, a doctor, a test
pilot with a scarf, a fsherman who
hauled in a tremendous marlin af-
ter a 12-hour fght.
Te humor most ofen was based
in reality his characters Maude
Frickert and Elwood P. Suggins,
for example, were based on people
Winters knew growing up in Ohio.
A devotee of Groucho Marx and
Laurel and Hardy, Winters and his
free-for-all brand of humor inspired
Johnny Carson, Billy Crystal, Trac-
ey Ullman and Lily Tomlin, among
others. But Williams and Carrey
are his best-known followers.
First, he was my idol; then
he was my mentor and amazing
friend. Ill miss him huge. He was
my Comedy Buddha. Long live the
Buddha, Williams said in a state-
ment Friday.
Williams helped introduce Win-
ters to new fans in 1981 as the son
of Williams goofall alien and his
earthling wife in the fnal season of
ABCs Mork and Mindy.
Te two ofen strayed from the
script.
Te best stuf was before the
cameras were on, when he was
open and free to create, Williams
once said. Jonathan would just
blow the doors of.
Carson, meanwhile, lifed Win-
ters Maude Frickert character al-
most intact for the long-running
Aunt Blabby character he portrayed
on Te Tonight Show.
Beyond funny. He invented a
new category of comedic genius,
comedian Albert Brooks tweeted
Friday.
In other Twitter posts, Richard
Lewis called Winters the greatest
improvisational comedian of all
time and Roseanne Barr added a
genius has vacated this realm.
Winters only Emmy was for best
supporting actor for playing Randy
Quaids father in the sitcom Davis
Rules (1991). He was nominated
again in 2003 as outstanding guest
actor in a comedy series for an ap-
pearance on Life With Bonnie.
He also won two Grammys for
his work on Te Little Prince
album in 1975 and for his Crank
Calls comedy album in 1996.
I knew him for 55 years, and
hes always been silly, every mo-
ment of his life, veteran announcer
Gary Owens, who collaborated
with Winters on four comedy al-
bums, recalled warmly Friday in an
interview with the AP.
He spoke by phone with him
just two days ago, Owens said, and
although frail, Winters still broke
into a routine in which he was be-
ing pecked in the head by a pet per-
egrine falcon he claimed to keep by
his bed.
Winters received the Kennedy
Centers second Mark Twain Prize
for Humor in
1999, a year
afer Richard
Pryor.
In later
years, he was
sought out for
his change-
ling voice and
c ont r i but e d
to cartoons
and animated
flms. He played three characters in
the Te Adventures of Rocky and
Bullwinkle movie in 2000.
Te Internet Movie Database
website credits him as the voice
of Papa in the forthcoming Te
Smurfs 2 flm.
He continued to work almost to
the end of his life and to infuence
new generations of comics.
No him, no me. No MOST of
us, comedy-wise, comic Patton
Oswalt tweeted Friday.
Winters made television history
in 1956 when RCA broadcast the
frst public demonstration of color
videotape on Te Jonathan Win-
ters Show.
Te comedian quickly real-
ized the possibilities, author Da-
vid Hajdu wrote in Te New York
Times in 2006. He soon used video
technology to appear as two char-
acters, bantering back and forth,
seemingly in the studio at the same
time. You could say he invented the
video stunt.
Winters was born Nov. 11, 1925,
in Dayton, Ohio. Growing up dur-
ing the Depression as an only child
whose parents divorced when he
was 7, he spent a lot of time enter-
taining himself.
Winters, who battled alcoholism
in his younger years, described his
father as an alcoholic. But he found
a comedic mentor in his mother,
radio personality Alice Bahman.
She was very fast. Whatever hu-
mor Ive inherited Id have to give
credit to her, he told the Cincin-
nati Enquirer in 2000.
Winters joined the Marines at 17
and served two years in the South
Pacifc. He returned to study at the
Dayton Art Institute, helping him
develop keen observational skills.
At one point, he won a talent con-
test by doing impressions of movie
stars.
Afer stints as a radio disc jockey
and TV host in Ohio from 1950-
53, he lef for New York, where he
found work doing impressions of
John Wayne, Cary Grant, Marx and
James Cagney, among others.
One night afer a show, an old-
er man sweeping up told him he
wasnt breaking any new ground by
mimicking the rich or famous.
He said, Whats the matter with
those characters in Ohio? Ill bet
there are some far-out dudes that
you grew up with back in Ohio,
Winters told the Orange County
Register in 1997.
Two days later, he cooked up one
of his most famous characters: the
hard-drinking, dirty old woman
Maude Frickert, modeled in part
on his own mother and an aunt.
Appearances on Paars show and
others followed, and Winters soon
had a following. Before long, he
was struggling with depression and
drinking.
I became a robot, Winters told
TV critics in 2000. I almost lost
my sense of humor ... I had a break-
down, and I turned myself in (to
a mental hospital). Its the hardest
thing Ive ever had to do.
Winters was hospitalized for
eight months in the early 1960s. Its
a topic he rarely addressed.
If you make a couple of hundred
thousand dollars a year and youre
talking to the blue-collar guy whos
a farmer 200 miles south of Topeka,
hes looking up and saying, Tat
bastard makes (all that money) and
hes crying about being a manic de-
pressive? Winters said.
When he got out, there was a role
as a slow-witted character waiting
in the 1963 ensemble flm Its a
Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
I fnally opened up and realized
I was in charge, Winters told PBS
interviewers for 2000s Jonathan
Winters: On the Loose. Improvi-
sation is about taking chances, and
I was ready to take chances.
Roles in other movies followed,
as did TV shows, including his
own.
While show business kept Win-
ters busy, the former art school stu-
dent was also a painter and writer.
His paintings and sketches were
ofen flled with humor.
I fnd painting a much slower
process than comedy, where you
can go a mile a minute verbally
and hope to God that some of the
people out there understand you,
he said in the 1988 U.S. News and
World Report interview. I dont
paint every day. Im not that moti-
vated. I dont do anything the same
every day. Discipline is tough for a
guy who is a rebel.
Among his books is a collection
of short stories called Winters
Tales (1987).
Ive done for the most part
pretty much what I intended I
ended up doing comedy, writing
and painting, he told U.S. News.
Ive had a ball. And as I get older, I
just become an older kid.
Winters wife, Eileen, died in
2009. He is survived by two chil-
dren, Lucinda Winters and Jay
Winters.

Jonathan Winters was

the worthy custodian of
a sparkling and childish
comedic genius.

Goodrich and Davis await WNBA picks
MAx GooDwIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
It is decision time for the 12 teams
of the WNBA. Tonight at 7 p.m.,
each organization will decide which
college seniors they are willing to bet
the future of their franchises on in
the 2013 WNBA Draft.
Angel Goodrich, the all-time
assists leader in Kansas basketball
history, is still waiting to find out
where she will end up.
Some of the mock drafts Goodrich
has seen project she will be drafted in
the top half of the first round, but she
wasnt one of the 12 players invited
to attend the draft in New York, so
she said shes not exactly sure what
to expect.
Its kind of like what does that
mean? Goodrich said. Im not too
worried though. Im just ready to get
it over with, to see where Im going.
The Phoenix Mercury are expect-
ed to select Baylor forward Brittney
Griner for its first pick. The next
two players off the board will be
Notre Dame guard Skylar Diggins
and Delaware forward Elena Della
Donne. After that, the projections
become anybodys guess.
New York Liberty coach Bill
Laimbeer said the players who will
be selected between the 4th and 16th
picks are pretty muddled togeth-
er, according to a recent article on
ESPNW.com. Kansas seniors Angel
Goodrich and Carolyn Davis are
both likely to be selected in that
range.
Ive been working out all week,
and thats where my mind has been
because of everything, Goodrich
said. I just want to get to the point
where I know where Im going and
just not think about it anymore.
Davis and Goodrich have dreamed
about professional basketball since
they were kids.
Goodrich, a 5-foot-4 point guard,
has the ability to make passes
that most others would never see,
according to Kansas coach Bonnie
Henrickson.
Davis, a 6-foot-3 forward, can
dominate a game in transition or in
half-court offense. Davis is known
for her ability to catch any pass that
comes into the post, and most of
the time she finishes the play with a
score, shooting over 60 percent and
scoring 15.6 points per game in her
career at Kansas.
Goodrich grew up playing basket-
ball in the driveway with her brother.
She would pretend she was Allen
Iverson. She had his shoes and gear.
She wore his number, three, on her
jersey for most of her Kansas career.
Because he was little and quick,
Goodrich said. He was big time
for me.
Davis is a student of the game.
She watches both NBA and WNBA
games regularly and receives all of
the updates on her phone. Goodrich
watches the games Davis says will be
a good matchup.
They have spent many eve-
nings together watching WNBA
or NBA games on TV. The two of
them roomed together for a year
in Jayhawker Towers and rented an
apartment off-campus this past year.
Goodrich said Davis is like an
older sister, even though shes young-
er. Davis is an old soul.
They met up in Kansas for a rea-
son. Both hoped to make a difference
at a major university.
Together they helped breathe
new life into womens basketball at
Kansas. Henrickson has said sev-
eral times this season that when they
leave, the program will be in a better
place than it was when they arrived.
When I first got here, there wasnt
anything about womens basketball,
Goodrich said. Nothing at all. I
wanted to go somewhere where I
could make a difference, and I feel
like we did that.
Now, as Goodrich and Davis leave
the program they came to change,
they do so after two consecutive
appearances in the Sweet Sixteen.
I feel like we came in and made a
little noise, Davis said after earning a
trip to the Sweet Sixteen this season.
I think weve changed the face of
womens basketball here.
Senior guard Monica Engelman
said Goodrich and Davis are both
smart, funny people. They are prone
to sarcasm and keep their teammates
laughing.
Davis and Goodrich havent been
talking as much lately. The time has
come for both of them to make a
decision about the future. The most
prominent decision theyve focused
on since the Jayhawks Sweet Sixteen
loss on March 31 is who they will
choose as their agents.
Though they are considering a
couple of the same agents, they will
make the decision separately.
Now its just like were growing up
and weve got to make our own deci-
sions and figure out whats best for
each other and ourselves, Goodrich
said. Its sad, but its really exciting.
Weve been here. Now, thats our
next step. Its just the next chapter of
our book.
Most people hope to make friends
and memories that will last a lifetime
during their college years.
For Davis and Goodrich, those
friends are their teammates and
those memories are the collec-
tion of moments spent with them.
Those memories include when their
teammates would visit Davis and
Goodrichs apartment.
Teammates would come over
to use the washer and dryer, cook,
watch the games and do each others
hair as they rested their legs after
practices.
Its the hang out spot, Goodrich
said. Like if our teammates just
want to come off campus and hang
out instead of just crunching in the
Towers, its a nice place for that. Its a
really good place to just chill.
There are not many of those
times left with their teammates for
Goodrich and Davis in their apart-
ment.
I hope we get together at least
one more time to hang out because
were not going to see each other,
Goodrich said.
They will likely be parting ways
after tonight, but neither Davis nor
Goodrich can forget how they wit-
nessed each other grow during their
time in Lawrence. In the beginning,
they hardly spoke, but before long
they became inseparable.
Both of them knew this day was
coming. The next time Davis and
Goodrich are on the same court, it
will likely be in different uniforms.
No more going out to eat together
after wins to celebrate; no more stay-
ing up late and dissecting the mis-
takes made in a loss.
Theyve learned a lot from each
other.
Goodrich used her experience
recovering from two torn ACLs to
help Davis recover from a torn ACL
and dislocated knee last year. It was
the type of injury that could end
a career. Davis has told Goodrich
about her life and taught her how to
push through the difficult times with
a smile and a positive attitude.
The apartment they share, the one
that was so often filled with sounds
of laughing teammates, the smells of
dinner simmering and the feeling of
home, will soon be empty.
After tonight, Davis and Goodrich
will likely take divergent paths, but
the lessons they taught each other
will remain ingrained in each of
them.
I dont know where shes gonna
end up or where Im gonna end
up, Goodrich said. But I hope that
we stay connected wherever we
go because thats a friendship that
I really want to keep. Weve been
through so much together these last
four years. I love her like a sister.
Shes family.

In need of a spark to make a
run in the Big 12, the Jayhawk
tennis team was unable to fend
off a duo of teams from Texas.
The No. 29 Texas Longhorns
and the No. 15 Texas Tech Red
Raiders were able to ground the
Jayhawks to 0-6 in conference
play. The loss dropped Kansas to
8-8 for the spring.
Kansas needed to start well
in order to be in good shape
going into singles play against the
Longhorns. Unfortunately, the
Jayhawks dropped two of three
in doubles play and were unable
to overcome the early losses.
The lone win in doubles play
came from freshman Anastasija
Trubica and senior Victoria
Khanevskaya.
When singles play started,
Kansas was down 1-0 and was
unable to gain traction, losing
all but one match. The single
Jayhawk victory came from
Trubica, who played well all day.
Going into the match, singles
play was a concern for Kansas
because Texas has two-time ITA
All-American Aeriel Ellis who,
true to form, won in doubles
play and beat Maria Jose Cardona
(7-6, 6-2) in singles play.
The match was not how
the Jayhawks wanted to enter
Sundays match against No. 15
Texas Tech.
SuNDAy
For the second straight game,
Kansas lost two of three in doubles
play, and for the second straight
match, Anastasija Trubica and
Victoria Khanevskaya were the
lone duo to get a victory. Kansas,
coming off a loss on Friday to
Texas, was in need of a confer-
ence win to escape a last place
conference tie and snap, a now, 21
game, Big 12 play losing streak.
The Jayhawks were unable to
mount a comeback and dropped
the match 6-1. Managing two
wins in singles play, the Jayhawks
are left among the winless this
spring in Big 12 play. The only
other school in the Big 12 with-
out a conference win is West
Virginia (0-7) as of Sunday.
Something will have to change
this weekend as Kansas takes
on West Virginia this Friday at
the Jayhawk Tennis Center. The
match is set to begin at 2 p.m.

The Kansas softball team
bounced back from an inconsistent
Saturday doubleheader and domi-
nated Furman University 11-1 on
Sunday morning to cap off the
weekend series in Greensville, S.C.
Kansas defeated Furman 4-0 in
the first game of Saturdays double-
header, and sophomore Alicia Pille
threw her fifth shutout of the sea-
son. Junior second baseman Ashley
Newman and sophomore third
baseman Chanin Naudin each had
two hits.
The game was scoreless until the
top of the sixth inning when senior
Rosie Hull drove in freshman Alex
Hugo on an RBI single to right
center. A bunt single by Newman
down the first base line brought
Hull home for Kansas second run
of the game. The final two runs for
the Jayhawks came on a pitching
error on a slap grounder by junior
center fielder Alex Jones.
Although Jones retired
15-straight batters after the second
inning, a two-run second inning
by Furman was enough to defeat
the Jayhawks in the second game
of Saturdays doubleheader.
Furman pitcher Lauren Collier
threw a complete game shutout
and only allowed four hits. Collier
also had one of the Paladins two
RBIs, along with first baseman
Stephanie Spain.
Coach Megan Smith was disap-
pointed in her teams performance
on Saturday.
Yesterday was a rough day for
us; we were really flat, Smith said.
We were struggling with our focus
on the game, but we bounced back
Sunday. Our pitching and defense
was great this weekend, and our
offense struggled until today.
Kansas offense came together
on Sunday with 13 hits, including
four doubles and a two-run home
run by sophomore third baseman
Chanin Naudin in the top of the
first inning.
The Jayhawks scored in each of
the games first three innings. Eight
consecutive Kansas batters reached
base during the inning and paved
the way for only Furmans second
run-rule loss of the season.
Pille pitched five superb innings
with 10 strikeouts and no walks.
An unearned run was the only
score for Furman on Sunday as the
Jayhawk offense and Pilles domi-
nating pitching performance paved
the way for a Kansas victory.
I think it [the weekend] went
well, Pille said. Our team came
out a little slow, but I feel like we
really picked it up at the end of the
weekend and it definitely showed.

The Kansas rowing team had a
strong showing in the fours at the
Knecht Cup Saturday and Sunday,
with the varsity four and second
varsity four teams leading the way
by winning gold in the Grand
Finals.
The varsity four boat was one
of four Kansas boats that qualified
for their respective Grand Finals
on Sunday. The other four boats
that qualified were the Kansas A
and Kansas B second varsity four
boats and the second varsity eight
boat. Two other Jayhawk boats,
the varsity eight and novice eight,
qualified for the Petite Finals.
Saturday competition included
heats and semifinals to qualify for
the finals on Sunday. The top six
fastest boats in each event qualified
to compete in the Grand Finals,
and the next six boats went on to
compete in the Petite Finals.
Sunday, the first event Kansas
competed in was the second varsity
four final. The Kansas A boat won
gold with a time of 7:52.24, and
the Kansas B boat finished .44 sec-
onds behind the New Hampshire
boat with a time of 7:57.94 to earn
bronze. The Kansas A boat mem-
bers are senior Emily Starr, junior
Carly Iverson and sophomores
Angie Flores, Andrea Joyce and
coxswain Sarah Lasini. The Kansas
B boat members are senior Ashlyn
Midyett, juniors Meghan Cahill,
Kelsie Fiss, sophomore Allie Griffin
and coxswain Abbey Lozenski.
The next event Sunday was
varsity four grand final. The
Kansas boat, senior coxswain
Katy MacCormack, juniors Jessica
Miller, Kaylee Sextro and Emma
Umbarger, and senior Eileen
Gallagher, earned the gold medal
with a time of 7:44.84, more than
four seconds faster than Bucknell,
which won silver.
Next up was the novice eight
petite final where the Kansas boat
earned fourth place. This boat
earned a spot in the petite final by
finishing third in their semifinal.
The next event on Sunday was
the second varsity eight grand
final. The Kansas second varsity
eight boat had won its last four
races before the Knecht Cup. On
Sunday, this boat took home silver
with a time of 6:48.02, finishing
behind Northeastern with a time
of 6:47.20.
Last up was the varsity eight
petite final. Kansas finished last in
that race.
This is the third year in a row
that Kansas has competed in the
Knecht Cup in Cherry Hill, N.J..
This regatta featured more than 60
schools and 34 events in mens and
womens rowing.
Up next for the Jayhawks is
the Lake Natoma Invite in Lake
Natoma, Calif., next weekend,
April 20- 21. Then the Jayhawks
will have two weeks to prepare
for the Big 12 Championships in
Kansas City, Kan.

The drought is over. The Kansas
mens golf team got its first team
title since 2010 on Sunday, an excit-
ing to end to a rather disappoint-
ing regular season. The Jayhawks
claimed victory at the Hawkeye-
Great River Entertainment
Invitational in Iowa City, Iowa
behind the T-1 individual efforts
of senior Chris Gilbert.
He really doesnt have any
certain weakness, Kansas coach
Jamie Bermel said. He has a lot of
maturity out there.
Gilbert finished in red num-
bers two of the tournaments three
rounds for a 5-under tournament
total.
He chipped and putted the ball
really well today, Bermel said. He
made a lot of birdies on the par-
fives today and that really helped.
As a team, Kansas shot a 3-over
291 in the closing round one
stroke being enough to hold off
a University of Iowa squad that
carded a 4-under team score
Sunday.
It was touch-and-go for the last
couple of holes, Bermel said. We
knew it was close, we just didnt
know how close.
Sophomore Stan Gautier helped
Kansas to the top of the podium
with a 4-under tournament score-
card. Gautiers third place finish
along with senior Alex Guteshas
T-11 helped the team piece togeth-
er a puzzle its been trying to solve
throughout the 2013 season.
We were in a position like
this earlier in the spring, and we
just didnt play well, Bermel said.
Here, I think we just kind of got a
sense of what it takes to play well.
The field featured five teams in
the top-100, although none of them
were in the top-50. But that doesnt
take much away from Bermels
first win as coach at Kansas.
You can only beat the teams
that are there, Bermel said. There
were several ranked teams ahead
of us, and obviously we showed
we can measure up against those
teams, and going into the Big 12s,
thats huge.
Despite the win, an otherwise
poor regular season resume has
left Kansas ranking far from what
it would need to be to qualify for
NCAA regionals. Gilbert will be
able to qualify for regionals as an
individual. Kansas only way to
make regionals would be to win
the Big 12 tournament.
The tournament will be at
Prairie Dunes Country Club in
Hutchinson from April 22-24.
A couple of guys have played
there, but I do know it is a hard
golf course with a lot of wind,
Bermel said. My expectations are
to go there and play well. I have no
idea what good scores are there,
but well find out.

A second place finish at the
Indiana Invitational at the Indiana
University Golf Course wasnt a
great look for the Kansas womens
golf team. But with a 12-team field
and only three participants in the
top-100 rankings, it was a good
chance for a season-best finish, and
the Jayhawks took advantage.
All of them did a real good job
of staying in their game and play-
ing to their strengths, coach Erin
ONeil said. This will be a good
confidence booster.
Kansas shot the lowest team
field score the last two rounds of
the tournament and was just three
strokes off Indiana, the host and
winner of the tournament.
We didnt give anything away;
IU earned it, ONeil said. We
didnt give it to them by any stretch.
They focused on what was in their
control and not getting caught up
in what Indiana was doing.
Kansas finished at +29 for
the tournament with the help of
three Jayhawks. Junior Thanuttra
Boonraksasat, freshman Yupaporn
Kawinpakorn and senior Audrey
Yowell all placed in the top-10
individually with Booknraksasat
(2nd place) earning her second
straight top-5 finish.
Fhong (Boonraksasat) did
a great job of being consistent
throughout the tournament,
ONeil said. Shes had two solid
tournaments back-to-back and is
playing real well.
The good play is too late for
the Jayhawks though; ranked at
108, the team is unlikely to make
its way into the top-65 cut for
the NCAA regionals. The Big 12
Championships will be the teams
last chance for improvement, but
it should be easy for the Jayhawks
they finished last in the tourna-
ment in 2012.
This reinforces that they can
do it, ONeil said. That they have
the ability and all their hard work
is paying off. If you have to pick a
time for it to show up, this is when
you want it to happen. Were defi-
nitely peaking at the right time.
The tournament will be hosted
by Iowa State at the Harvester Golf
Club in Rhodes, Iowa on April 19
through 21.

Torn Achilles not the end for Bryant
E
ver since I was young I have been
a die-hard Laker fan. While grow-
ing up, watching Kobe Bryant was
probably one of the most exciting things
I saw as a sports fan. Even in his 17th
season he still amazes me with everything
that he had. Being 19 years old, I truly
do not know what life is like without him,
mainly because I have never seen a Lakers
roster without his name on it. Even the
thought of him never playing basketball
again makes me speechless.
Legacies often go untouched. And I
think I speak for most of the basketball
world when I say Bryants legacy is one
that another player could not begin to
approach. His influence on and off the
floor is something I am sure will never be
comprehensible. He has made basketball
a global phenomenon in which the sport
is more popular now than it has ever
been. Bryant is a star in the basketball
world, and playing in Los Angeles has
allowed him to emerge as a celebrity as
well.
Let me be clear: I do not believe
Bryants career is over. Lets face it no
injury has ever stopped him from playing
before. In fact, Im pretty sure he never
had those torn ligaments in his finger
repaired. I do believe, however, that he
will not be the same player he was when
he returns. A torn Achilles is usually a
career-ending injury.
I have had my own injuries, and have
learned through my experiences that
they are not easy to overcome. He knows
the challenges that lie ahead of him, and
understands the obstacles he has to face.
But he will be back.
Without a doubt, Bryant is one of the
best players the game has ever seen. To
compare him to Michael Jordan or any
other player is just ridiculous and unfair
to both of them. Bryant is his own player.
Sure, he might be the closest thing to
Jordan we will ever see, but both of them
have done different things that make
them unique.
Everyone is thinking this is the end
for one of the greats at least many
people are thinking that. We can all
doubt Bryant as much as we want, but the
fact of the matter is that his haters are his
motivators. If there is one thing he loves
more than anything in this world, it is
when people tell he cannot do something.
Never could anyone have imagined
something like this happening to Bryant.
Whether you are a Kobe-lover or a Kobe-
hater, seeing a star like him go down like
he did is something no one ever wants to
see. But I have faith, he will be back. He
wont be the same Kobe we all know, but
he will be back.

Kansas sophomore left-handed
pitcher Wes Benjamins complete
game performance wasnt enough
to propel the Jayhawks to a win in
Saturdays 2-1 loss in game two of
their weekend series against Texas.
Benjamin gave up two earned
runs on five hits, four walks and
acquired four strikeouts while
using 119 pitches. These statistics
are as good as can be expected on
the mound, but Texas sophomore
left-handed pitcher Dillon Peters
did Benjamin one better.
The highly touted Longhorn
lefty gave up the Jayhawks lone
earned run on six hits with three
strikeouts and one walk in 120
pitches.
I thought Wes did a great job,
coach Ritch Price said. Obviously
he couldve cut down on the walks,
but the great thing about the per-
formance is it gave us a chance to
save our bullpen, which is critical
after going 12 innings yesterday.
The Longhorns took the early
lead on an RBI single from junior
catcher Jacob Felts in the second
inning and a sacrifice fly from
junior right fielder Mark Payton in
the fourth.
From that point on, Benjamin
calmed on the mound, finding
more control and settling in to
allow just four base runners in the
final six innings.
After the third inning, I switched
it up a bit with my mechanics,
Benjamin said. I quit throwing
across my body so much, and
that eventually helped out espe-
cially down the stretch and into the
ninth inning. I was just running on
adrenaline there.
The Jayhawks struggled at the
plate collecting six hits and one run
off a Tucker Tharp RBI double in
the seventh inning.
He came at us with a lot of
fastballs, senior first baseman
Alex DeLeon said of Peters. We
just couldnt get it going. It was
just tough. Wes had a great per-
formance. It was tough that we
couldnt put up a couple of runs for
him. Now its just important that
we come back and win the series
at home.
The Longhorns brought their
best game to the field, stealing
several hits from the Kansas lineup
and preventing the Jayhawks from
manufacturing runs.
They played great defense
today, DeLeon said. A couple of
guys smoked some balls that ended
up being right at them. We just
didnt get the breaks today, but
thats baseball.
Coach Price planned to start
sophomore right-hander Robert
Kahana Sunday after pulling junior
right-hander Frank Duncan from
the starting rotation earlier in the
week.
Coach Price isnt discouraged
after Saturdays pitching duel.
When you play in this league
and face pitching as good as that,
you walk back in tomorrow and its
a brand new day, Price said. You
want the guys to walk in here not
even thinking about yesterday.
Kahana faced Texas junior right-
hander Nathan Thornhill on the
mound in a 1 p.m. first pitch at
Hoglund Ballpark yesterday.

Kansas took advantage of back-
to-back errors committed by Texas
in the bottom of the sixth and
scored the go-ahead run to pick up
a 4-3 victory yesterday.
Junior right fielder Tucker Tharp
reached on an error in the bottom
of the sixth. Another errortrans-
lated into a run for Tharp to allow
Kansas to retake the lead and pick
up the win.
I hit a high chopper to second
and luckily I got down the line well
and the guy didnt make the play,
Tharp said. We took advantage of
it. It was good for us to get some
momentum back in the dugout
after they just put up two.
Despite having to battle through
struggles during the season, Tharp
elevated his game against Texas.
He was responsible for the game-
winning RBI in the 12th inning of
Fridays game, and had the only RBI
in Saturdays loss.
Now, hes overcome adversity
and struggles by stepping up and
making big plays when Kansas
needs it the most.
Hes a really important player
for us, said Kansas coach Ritch
Price. Hes one of the most com-
petitive guys in our program. He
invests and he cares. For him to
have a huge weekend and lead us
to a series win, I couldnt be more
happy for him.
Kansas played well defensively,
committing just one error in 30
innings against Texas. After junior
closer Jordan Piche pitched four
and two-third innings in Fridays
win, he pulled through again on
Sunday with a multi-inning save.
The Longhorns added base run-
ners in the eighth and ninth innings
to try and force extra innings, but
Piche fought out of the jams to pick
up his eighth save of the year.
Im really happy with the way I
pitched, Piche said. It was nerve-
wracking, but I controlled it well.
With the defense behind me, Im
not afraid to pitch to contact and
I felt good coming out of the bull-
pen.
The Jayhawks took two of three
games in the series, making the first
series win over Texas since sweep-
ing the series played in Lawrence
in 2009.
All of the games between Kansas
and Texas this series were one-run
games. The Jayhawks won Friday
7-6 in 12 innings and won Sunday
4-3. The Longhorns emerged vic-
torious with a 2-1 final score on
Saturday.
Thats two good teams playing
and thats good college baseball,
Piche said. You cant go wrong
playing Texas. We came out to per-
form and play the best to our abil-
ity.
Kansas pitching coach Ryan
Graves was ejected after the top of
the seventh inning and must serve a
one-game suspension this Tuesday.
The Jayhawks, now 22-13 and
7-5 in Big 12 play, will participate in
non-conference action this week.
Kansas will go to Omaha, Neb.
Tuesday and take on Creighton
at 6:30 p.m. The team will leave
Omaha immediately and return to
Hoglund Ballpark to play Ottawa
Wednesday at 6 p.m.
The Jayhawks resume confer-
ence play on Friday for a three-
game series in Lubbock, Texas
against Texas Tech, and look to pick
up their third straight series win
against conference opponents.
Weve got to keep doing what
we are doing, Piche said. A lot of
guys are working really hard. Weve
just got to keep up on that. Guys are
pitching well too. Going into next
weekend, well take it day-by-day
and get our work in.

Seniors
await WNBA
draft
N
early a year ago, the Kansas
football team under coach
Charlie Weis in his frst year
took the feld for the annual spring
game.
Former Notre Dame quarterback
Dayne Crist looked sharp, accurately
slinging the football around the feld
to diferent wide receivers. Running
back Tony Pierson broke of big runs.
Tere fnally was a buzz around
Kansas football.
Fast forward to the end of the 2012
season, and the Jayhawks recorded
one fewer victory than in the previous
season. However, Kansas stayed com-
petitive in most games only to end up
losing in the fnal quarters.
On Saturday, it felt like dj vu.
Another transfer quarterback led
the charge, but this time, it was junior
Jake Heaps. Te former BYU player
racked up 257 yards on 20 for 28 pass-
ing with four touchdowns. Pierson
once again showed his big-play ability.
Te buzz that was lost at the end of
last season reappeared afer the game.
Something feels diferent though.
Te primary running backs in Pier-
son, James Sims, Taylor Cox and Bran-
don Bourbon all return. Linebackers
Jake Love and Ben Heeney are mak-
ing another appearance for the 2013
season.
Tats not at all surprising, but Kan-
sas fnally has a true threat in junior-
transfer wide receiver Justin McCay.
Te former Oklahoma wide out re-
corded eight receptions for 99 yards
with one touchdown. Tose numbers
dont pop of the stat book, but his
one-handed grab for 47 yards while
being guarded caught the fans eyes.
McCay has yet to record any of-
fcial stats in college, but he was once
ranked as a four star coming out of
high school.
Still, its clear to see that Heaps has a
favorite target, and thats a great sign.
Te chemistry between Heaps and
McCay will be crucial for the upcom-
ing season. Luckily, they already have
a head start.
Since they were transfers, both of
them had to sit out for a full season.
Sure, that hurt Crist and the Jayhawks
this past season, but during the ofsea-
son, Heaps and McCay made sure to
work with each other early on.
If both Heaps and McCay continue
to build on their relationship, the Jay-
hawks might see something special.
Picture this: the next big-time quar-
terback-wide receiver duo since Todd
Reesing and Dezmon Briscoe.
I know, it was just a spring football
game. Neither Heaps nor McCay have
proven themselves.
But why not make the comparison?
Te past three years have been a di-
saster for the Kansas quarterback-re-
ceiver duos. Last year, it was Crist and
Kale Pick, and no wide receiver caught
a touchdown. Te year before that was
Jordan Webb and Pick, which resulted
in two touchdowns. In 2010, the duo
was Webb and Daymond Patterson.
Te big-time combination has been
drastically missing since Reesing and
Briscoe, but that might soon change.
Heaps doesnt have the mobility
like Reesing, but he certainly has the
arm. McCay is lacking in speed, but he
has a similar frame and athleticism as
Briscoe.
Look, its a long stretch, but the pos-
sibility is there and has time to develop
with both being juniors.
Well just have to wait and see it de-
velop in the fall.

Kansas junior quarterback Jake
Heaps shined by completing 20 of
28 passes for 257 yards and four
touchdowns in Saturdays spring
game to lift the Blue team to a 34-7
win over the White team. Local
media voted Heaps co-offensive
MVP for the game.
Kansas coach Charlie Weis said
there were a couple of plays that
Heaps could have executed better,
but for the most part, the BYU
transfer lived up to Weis expecta-
tions.
Youve got to be encouraged
when you watch him play, Weis
said. Strong arm, accurate, and
knows how to read coverages.
Heaps biggest target in
Saturdays spring game was junior
wide receiver Justin McCay, who
shared the offensive MVP title
with Heaps. McCays eight recep-
tions helped produce 99 yards and
a touchdown for the Blue squad.
Heaps and McCay spent a lot of
time this offseason working togeth-
er and carried it over to Saturday
for fans to see. McCay sat out last
year, but will be an essential part of
the Jayhawks offense in 2013.
What we need is a dynamic
football player to go down and
stretch the defense and make plays
down field, Heaps said. With him
going out there and showcasing
what he did, thats phenomenal. It
helps our team a lot and it raises
the expectations for these other
receivers as well.
Heaps and McCay, both trans-
fer players, had to sit out in 2012
because of NCAA transfer rules.
The two players spent 2012 watch-
ing their teammates every Saturday
and learning as much as they could
before stepping into their shoes.
McCay played in three games
as a redshirt freshman at the
University of Oklahoma in 2011,
including one against Kansas. As
a Sooner, McCay did not accumu-
late any statistics and still awaits
his first catch in a college football
game.
Although McCay has yet to
make a name for himself, he is
already a key player as Heaps con-
tinues to be the leader for Kansas.
The quarterback-wide receiver
duo showed a lot of potential for
this season in the spring game.
Its a lot of fun to see him go
out there and perform and play as
well as he did, Heaps said. Now
were going to expect that from
him every single day.
Weis opted out of coaching in
the spring game and scouted the
team from the press box. He liked
what he saw in the duo.
I think one of the reasons why
Jake had a big day is because Justin
had a big day, and vice versa,
Weis said. One of the reasons
Justin had a big day is because Jake
knows where to throw and where
hes going to be.
McCay said after the game that
Heaps amazes him in practices as
the two have built a lot of chemis-
try and camaraderie this year.
Like Heaps, he sees the new
opportunity to go from being a
quiet football player to being a big
contributor under Weis offense.
It definitely humbles you,
McCay said It makes you more
hungry when you get on the field.
Im just trying to compete.
On Monday, the players will visit
doctors and trainers to check up
on injuries. Later in the week, the
players will watch the spring game
and receive offseason evaluations
from the coaching staff. The play-
ers will have meetings with their
position coaches on Wednesday
and Thursday.
The players will soon begin
summer conditioning. The team
will report for fall camp in August
to prepare for its season opener
at home against the University of
South Dakota on Sept. 7.
