Office of Multicultural Affairs

director explains resignation
ALANA FLINN
@alana_flinn

Editors note: An in-depth article on this topic will follow in the

Monday, April 13 edition.
Director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, Blane Harding, who announced his resignation from the University,
effective May 1, has explained
the reasoning behind his decision.
Harding will take a job as
director of the Student Center
for Cultural Diversity at the
University of Nevada, Reno,
because he does not like the
direction central leadership is
going [at the University], he
said.
I came to KU because I saw
a perfect opportunity to serve
as the director of the Office of
Multicultural Affairs and there
was a really nice setup in terms

of the programming, Harding

said. Its been a fantastic three
years.
I just wish that central leadership would do something
concrete to support students of
color. How long have we known
the black six-year graduation
rate is at 46 percent? Two years.
And we still dont have a program in place. Ive been saying
we need it, the students have
been saying it, the [Student]
Senate has been saying it, but
theres still nothing concrete in
place. I cant stay around and
watch that anymore.
In his time at the University,
Harding said he is proud of
the involvement OMA has had
throughout campus.
I think the faculty always
wanted to be involved in this
office but didnt know how
to get their foot in the door,
Harding said. I think the relationships I built with faculty

Harding
got them involved in almost
all of our programming, and I
know it will continue because
now they know the faculty
members they didnt know before, and thats something Im
really proud of.
Harding said he was also able
to extend diversity training
across campus.

It used to be we only did

training with housing, Harding said. Now we do training
with the Spencer Museum,
Watson, the School of Education, the School of Journalism,
with the [Office of First-Year
Experience] so we have become the diversity social justice trainers for the campus,
which I think should have always been happening.
Harding has recommended
OMA Assistant Director Cody
Charles and OMA Assistant
Director Precious Porras for
interim director because we
want someone steady who
knows the office and the system.
There is no official date for
the national search that will be
launched to find Hardings replacement.

REVIEWING 2014-2015
WITH STUDENT SENATE
ALANA FLINN
@alana_flinn

As the 2014-15 Student

Senate year begins to wind
down, the executive staff recounts its achievements:
FALL 2014
Chief of Staff
Mitchell Cota:
In the fall, there were a lot
of punches thrown at us in
a sense that we had a lot of
things outside of Senate that
were affecting the University.
The first semester turned out
to be a very reactive approach
just because of the national
issue of sexual assault, and we
had to ensure our students
were comfortable with the
response from the University
as a whole, and Senate had to
ensure they were representing every community at KU.
My biggest accomplishment is the establishment of
a social justice minor. Its actually in the completion cycle
and will for sure be available
in fall 2015, and they turned

it into a graduate certificate,

which is the equivalent of a
minor for the graduate programs. Dean Jamie Anderson, who is moving to Trinity
college as their chancellor,
was happy to see this trend
of the entire University caring about social justice and
equity and equality, not just
on campus, but in the world
as a whole.

Student Body Vice President

Miranda Wagner:
The first thing we did
would be before we were
even on campus. In the summer, HR made the announcement they were cutting all of
the student hours down to
20 hours a week, and [student body president] Morgan
[Said] and I were able to get
in the meeting, and we were
able to convince them to do
29 hours a week, which was a
nice achievement to start the
year off with.

lost, Advance KU vice presidential candidate Zach George

Say please and thank you.

Dont be rude.

Student athletes and leaders at the University are now

among the long list of celebrities, public figures and
other colleges to join the
national Its On Us campaign to stop sexual assault
on campuses. KU Athletics
posted the video calling for
awareness and action last
Thursday.
The Its On Us campaign
was first launched last September when President
Barack Obama announced
a partnership between the
NCAA and the White House.
The first version of the
Its On Us video featured
Obama and Vice President
Joe Biden, as well as stars like
Jon Hamm, Kerry Washington, Rose Byrne and Questlove urging viewers that its
on us to stop sexual assault
and to get in the way before
it happens. Since September,
the original video has been
viewed 2.7 million times.
The KU Athletics video
mirrors the original and features Chancellor Bernadette
Gray-Little, basketball coach
Bill Self, student athletes
like basketball player Wayne
Selden Jr., rower Briana
Pina, baseball player Stephen
Villines, golfer Michelle
Woods and student leaders
like Student Body President
Morgan Said, KU Army
ROTC Cadet Garrett Farlow
and Interfraternity Council
President Chris Pyle.
Since the University released its version of the Its
On Us video, it has been
viewed about 1,300 times on
YouTube.

The campaign was adopted by the NCAA and the

Big 12 conference, the former KU athlete and alumna
said. I wanted to jump on
board as soon as possible
and make sure that we were
involved.
Originally, Dickerson was
only going to make the video an athletics campaign,
but then she started to think
about the premise behind the
initiative, she said.
The initiative is to change
campus culture, the entire
campus culture, Dickerson
said. While its awesome
to start with the athletic department and make sure
were being examples for
that, I thought it was a great
opportunity to reach out to
the other organizations on
campus and try to reach the
biggest student population as
possible.

Campus buildings to get LED light bulbs

SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolNews

The Universitys Center for

Sustainability, in efforts to
conserve energy and costs,
has begun converting all light
bulbs in University buildings
to more efficient options. In
addition, new buildings at the
University will incorporate
energy-saving designs.
George Werth, the energy
program manager for Facilities Services, leads the initiative to replace old light bulbs
in University buildings with
Light-Emitting Diode bulbs.
Werth said LED lights are
about as efficient as you can
get.
From the summer of 2013
to the summer of 2014, the
Universitys energy cost increased 5.7 percent from $9.4
million to $9.7 million, according to Facilities Services
monthly utility reports. Although the light bulb initiative was first implemented in
2013, the numbers show the
process didnt have an affect
right away, as incandescent
and halogen bulbs were only
replaced by LEDs when they
burned out.
Its part of our offices purpose to encourage sustainability on campus and encourage organizations to use
more sustainable methods,
said Jeff Severin, director of
the Center for Sustainability.
We encourage more conservation-minded behavior. The
LED program is part of that.
Severin said the only negative of the program was that
the sustainability office has
not been able to fund the program without the help of a revolving loan fund.
Right now the University is kind of strapped for
cash, so the sustainability office loaned us some money,
Werth said. We can pay that

than that, not a whole lot.
Other students, like Jilliene
Jaeger, a second-year graduate
student from Las Vegas, said
Senate hasnt done enough to
reach out to other communities on campus, like graduate
students.
I dont really know what
Student Senate does, and I
imagine most graduate students dont, Jaeger said. I
dont even know if they have
any effect on the life of a grad
student.

I dont really know what

Student Senate does, and
I imagine most graduate
students dont.
JILLIENE JAEGER
Graduate student
from Las Vegas

Jaeger was also unable to recall the names of the student

body president and student
body vice president.
Both coalitions and the current Senate executive staff
have expressed awareness of
the gap between senators and
the larger student body and
said they are seeking to bridge
it.
Said said its difficult to get
students who arent involved
in student groups to care
about Senate.
All of our Senators are as-

back with money that we save

from this project. We saw
that over a four-year period,
this program would save over
$400,000.
The budget for maintaining
facilities is made up of tuition,
money from KU Endowment
and public funding, Werth
said. Severin said original
funding for the revolving loan
came in part from Student
Senate.
In addition to the light bulb
initiative, Facilities Services is
working toward implementing
conservation-minded
plans at those buildings in the
construction process.
While Facilities Services
maintains current buildings,
it also works with Design and
Construction Management
to place power, natural gas
and plumbing systems in new
buildings.
Weve developed a fairly aggressive energy consumption
policy, said Phil Ellsworth,
assistant director of DCM.
[We ask] our designers to
exceed [the standard energy
conservation practice] by 30
percent. When new buildings
come online, they should use
30 percent less than what is
considered best practice.
One method that saves energy is the chilling of water
for multiple buildings using a
central plant instead of at each
building individually, Ellsworth said.
Werth added that the Universitys new buildings will
be more efficient as a result of
having the latest and greatest technologies.
[When new] construction is occurring you try
to put in the best systems for
the long haul, Werth said. I
think the University is doing a
good job on both sides.
Edited by Laura Kubicki

signed five to 10 student

groups to keep in contact
with throughout the whole
year, Said said. You cant
really assign senators to random students on the street.
Rainey said the answer lies
in searching for overlooked
constituencies.
We are already reaching
out to groups who dont traditionally get involved with
Student Senate, explaining
to them what it is, explaining to them how we want to
improve it reaching out to
the 75 percent of voters who
arent there, Rainey said.
Advance KU also plans to
reach out to students, rather
than waiting for students to
reach out to Advance KU.
Our public forum was great
last semester, but we shouldnt
expect students to come to us;
we need to go to them and
hear them out and hear their
ideas, George said.
Not only do Advance KU
and Imagine have each other
to deal with, both groups face
an uphill battle with public
relations. For the coalitions
to be able to reconnect with
their constituency, it appears
they will have to make the
connection in the first place.
There may just be people
that dont know [what Senate
is], Rainey said. Those are
the people we are going after.
Even if they dont necessarily
vote, they will be knowledgeable about Student Senate and
what it does.

Ultimately, Dickerson said
she hopes the video gets
people talking and sets the
tone for conversations about
how students on campus
should be conducting themselves. She also hopes more
students take the pledge, she
said.
Hopefully people say,
Well, what is this Its On

Dickerson said.

Woods, a senior from Manhattan and member of the

golf team, said she had a

Woods, who has been an
active member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee throughout her time
at the University, said it was
amazing to see the broad
representation in the Universitys video.
It was huge to see those
faces in there, Woods said.
Some you know, some you
dont, but each person kind
of connects with a different
demographic and I think
thats really important.

chancellor was Franklin Murphy (age 35) and our longest-tenured chancellor was Ernest Lindley (1920-1939).

New Ferguson City Council members are optimistic

JIM SALTER

Associated Press
FERGUSON, Mo. A surge
of voters helped alter the racial
makeup of the Ferguson City
Council, and observers said
Wednesday the change creates
a new energy in a community
trying to find its way after
months of turmoil following
the fatal shooting of Michael
Brown.
More than 29 percent of
Ferguson voters double
the percentage from the April
2014 election went to the
polls Tuesday and elected three
new City Council members,
including
two
African
Americans. That means half
of the six-member council will
now be African American.
The lone black incumbent
councilman was not up for reelection. The mayor is white.

The percentage of elected

blacks still falls short of
the St. Louis suburbs racial
makeup two-thirds of
Fergusons 21,000 residents are
black. Still, to residents and
observers, its a new start.
I think [voters] understood
very clearly that the eyes of the
world were watching, and the
vote was really the only way
to bring substantive change,
said community activist John
Gaskin, a member of the
national NAACP Board of
Directors.
It was the first municipal
election in Ferguson since
Brown, an unarmed, black
18-year-old, was killed by a
white police officer, Darren
Wilson, last August. The
shooting led to sometimes
violent protests and spawned
a national Black Lives Matter
movement calling for changes

in how police deal with

minorities.
A St. Louis County grand
jury and the U.S. Justice
Department
declined
to
prosecute
Wilson,
who
resigned in November. But the
Justice Department last month
released a scathing report citing
racial bias and profiling in the
Ferguson Police Department
and a profit-driven municipal
court system that frequently
targets black residents.
Several city officials resigned
following the review, including
the city manager, police chief
and municipal judge. The
municipal court clerk was fired
for racist emails.
The new city council will
sign off on the replacements.
It will work with the Justice
Department to ensure that
problems are corrected.
New council members say

theyre up for the task.

Our community weve
been through a lot, said
Wesley Bell, a 40-year-old
black man elected in the 3rd
Ward, which includes the
Canfield Green apartment
complex, where Brown was
killed. This community came
together in record numbers
to make sure our voices were
heard. When you have a
community engaged, the sky is
the limit.
Turnout was aided by a
strong push from volunteers,
both local and national.
Labor unions, activist groups
and Working Family Party, a
leading voice of the left that
helped elect New York City
Mayor Bill de Blasio last year,
went door to door and worked
phone banks urging people to
vote.
When we talked to voters

about the opportunity we

have to end a broken and
racially biased justice system,
people felt like there was really
something worth going out
to vote for, activist Reginald
Rounds said.
Saint
Louis
University
political science professor Ken
Warren said the turnout was
particularly impressive because
he had previously sensed a
defeatist attitude among many
black residents in Ferguson.
They thought, We cant win.
Its a good old boy system,
Warren said. Now, they have
organized with the help of
outsiders, and they ended up
electing two blacks to the City
Council.
Warren believes the change
could fuel renewed political
activism among blacks who
live in Ferguson.
I think it bodes well for the

future, he said.
Newly elected 2nd Ward
Councilman Brian Fletcher,
55, who is white, agreed.
The fact that we have
a council that has three
African-Americans its just
wonderful, a new beginning
for the city, said Fletcher, a
former two-term mayor in
Ferguson.
Ella Jones, a 60-year-old
black woman, defeated three
other candidates one black
and two white in the 1st
Ward.
Resident Hudson Ward
encouraged the new council to
seize its opportunity.
All the protest and all the
looting and everything, let that
be a wake-up call, Ward said.
Change, to me, is giving our
kids the opportunity to grow
up in a peaceful community
where everyone gets along.

Oklahoma OKs ban on second-trimester abortion method

SEAN MURPHY
Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY
Oklahoma would ban a
common second-trimester
abortion
procedure
that critics describe as
dismembering a fetus under
a measure that lawmakers
overwhelmingly approved
Wednesday, a day after
Kansas became the first
state to prohibit the same
procedure.
The Senate voted 37-4 for
the bill, which now goes to
Republican Gov. Mary Fallin.
She has not said whether
she will sign it, but she has

previously signed other antiabortion measures.

Under the bill, doctors
cannot
use
forceps,
clamps, scissors or similar
instruments on a live fetus
to remove it from the womb
in pieces. Such instruments
are used in certain dilation
and evacuation procedures
performed in the second
trimester. Of the roughly
5,000 abortions performed
in Oklahoma in 2013, about
5 percent were performed
using
this
procedure,
according to the Oklahoma
State Department of Health.
Its gruesome, said Sen.
Josh Brecheen, who carried

the bill in the Senate and

graphically described the
practice to his colleagues.
Critics of the bill, including
Planned Parenthood, have
accused its supporters of
using inflammatory and
non-medical
terminology
to insert politics into
personal medical decisions.
Abortion rights supporters
said the procedure is often
the safest for women seeking
to terminate pregnancies
during the second trimester.
While women should not
have to justify their personal
medical decisions, the reality
is that nine in 10 abortions in
the U.S. occur in the first 12

weeks of pregnancy, Angie

Remington, a spokeswoman
for Planned Parenthood
of the Heartland, said in
a statement. Abortion in
the second trimester of
pregnancy is less common,
but in all cases, a woman
and her doctor need every
medical option available.
The bill would ban the
procedure except when
necessary to save a womans
life or prevent a serious
health risk to the mother.
Kansas Republican Gov.
Sam Brownback signed a
similar measure into law
in Kansas on Wednesday,
and abortion rights groups

in that state said they are

considering
a
lawsuit.
Abortion rights supporters
say the law could be
vulnerable to a lawsuit
because it bans some
abortions before a fetus can
survive outside the womb.
Missouri
and
South
Carolina also are considering
a similar measure.
Oklahoma has been sued
at least six times since 2010
over various restrictions on
abortion and contraception,
including two lawsuits that
are pending that challenge
bills approved by the GOPcontrolled legislature last
year.

One
lawsuit
targets
restrictions on abortioninducing
drugs,
while
a second challenges a
requirement that abortion
providers have admitting
privileges at a nearby
hospital. Both laws have
been put on hold by the state
Supreme Court while the
cases are being considered.
Oklahoma
lawmakers
earlier this week passed a
bill that would make it the
fourth state in the country
to require women to wait at
least 72 hours after receiving
information about abortions
before the procedure can be
performed.

Globalization benefits development

e are living in

progress. As the World Bank
projects, global economic
growth will continue to
quicken as developing nations
catch up to established ones.
To this effect, it forecasts that
annual growth in real GDP of
developing nations will reach
5.4 percent, more than double
that of high-income countries.
For all of these things, we have
globalization to thank, but
thats not to say globalization
is without its problems.
Economist Thomas Piketty
explains in his book Capital
in the Twenty-First Century
that a globalized economy is
leading to staggering levels of
income and wealth inequality.
This holds the potential to
stratify the world into a rigid
class system in which wealth
stays within a select group of
people, and the majority of the
world cannot enjoy the prod-

ucts of this globalized age.

To avoid this, governments
must take measures to ensure
the wealth generated by
globalization is accessible to a
broad, open cross-section of
the global population. Those
willing to work hard must be
given ample opportunity to
succeed and those who fall behind must not be left behind
by an indifferent world.
Likewise, globalization holds
the potential to erode the traditions and customs of many
social groups. While nations
should take steps to safeguard
their heritage, they must also
acknowledge that culture
must adapt if it is to progress.
Some assume this cultural

can still be heard in clubs all

over the world. Japanese Anime has become immensely
popular as well, as evidenced
by the Universitys Anime
Club.
Indeed, the cultural experience of the average person is
growing richer every day as
technology and transportation
allow for the rapid exchange
of ideas and practices. Global
culture is not eroding; its
richer than ever for the global
citizen.
Another question raised
by globalizations rise is its
implications for the environment. While it is true that a
globalized world demands
more power, it is equally

WORLD DEMANDS MORE POWER, IT IS

adaptation universally favors
Western influences. After all,
Western cultural influences
ranging from restaurants like
McDonalds to music like
Taylor Swifts can be found
all over the world. But this is
a problematic assumption.
In many cases, it seems that
global cultures are diffusing
across national boundaries,
with the United States sending
and receiving cultural inputs
from all over the world. Many
University students recently enjoyed Holi festivals, a
Hindu tradition. Gangnam

true that it can provide the

means for a renewable future.
As Bloomberg projects,
70 percent of all added
power capacity between 2012
and 2030 will come from
renewable energy.
Globalization comes with
benefits and detriments.
When managed wisely, however, its potential shortfalls
are easily eclipsed by the new
world it has to offer. It is into
this new globalized world that
we will graduate and build our
lives. We could not have asked
for a better time to be alive.

DO YOU THINK GLOBALIZATION

HAS HAD A NET POSITIVE OR
NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE WORLD?

ORODJE AWUSA, FRESHMAN, OVERLAND PARK

In certain areas its been positive, but some groups completely lose
themselves assimilating into new identities.

uring my two years

in the School of
Journalism, Ive
learned something important:
everything has a ripple.
Whether Im writing an article on swine flu or a column
on erotic fan fiction, people
are going to read my story
and it will affect their lives in
some way. They will go get
their flu shot or start a discussion with their friends.
As a journalist, my responsibility is to understand the
effect my writing may have
on readers. Further, I need to
make sure the information I

and fair.
Accuracy and fairness is a
necessity for every journalist.
Its the cornerstone of your
reputation, which is a fragile
thing. As far as journalists
reputations go, to quote
Taylor Swift, Its gonna be
forever, or its gonna go down
in flames.
On Sunday, Rolling Stone
went down in flames when
it retracted Sabrina Erdelys
article A Rape on Campus:
A Brutal Assault and Struggle
for Justice at UVA, published
in November. The story
detailed the alleged rape of a
University of Virginia student
by a group of pledges from
UVAs Phi Kappa Psi chapter.
The story immediately
caused a stir, receiving almost
3 million views online,
Rolling Stone reported. UVA
President Teresa Sullivan suspended the fraternity along
with other Greek organizations. The article added to the

already hot debate regarding

sexual assault on this campus
and others across the country.
From the beginning, The
Washington Post and UVAs
Phi Kappa Psi chapter
doubted the storys credibility. Amid the controversy,
Rolling Stone passed the
story over to Columbia Universitys School of Journalism
for analysis.
Columbias report was released Sunday, stating Erdely
and Rolling Stone were at
fault and the events detailed
in the story were false.
The report reads like a guide
for how not to do journalism.
The outrageous number of
unchecked facts and the magazines unwillingness to allow
Phi Kappa Psi the chance to
form a thorough response
are cringeworthy at best and
illegal at worst. Overall, the
magazine seems desperate.

Rolling Stones decision
to run the article without
verifying perpetrators and
giving the accused parties
the right to speak caused far
more damage than good and
damaged the credibility of
sexual assault victims who
choose to come forward.

A Rape on Campus damaged Phi Kappa Psis reputation and forced its members
to live under a cloud of
suspicion. The fraternity

Flora, the Red Menace opens Friday

RYAN WRIGHT

@ryanwaynewright
Everybody seemingly knows
someone who has a horror
story about hardships in the
search for employment fresh
out of college. KU Theatres
latest production, Flora, the
Red Menace, tackles this issue,
among others.
Flora, the Red Menace tells
the story of an out-of-work
fashion illustrator who falls in
love with a communist, who
eventually convinces her to
join the party. The show opens
at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 10 at
Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall,
1530 Naismith Dr.
The play is based around
the time of the Depression, in
the 30s, and it talks about the
struggle of the worker, Music
Director Ryan McCall said.
I think theres something to
be said about the struggle of
looking for a job and trying to
find one. I think its something
that every college kid can relate
to.
McCall, 36, is from Salina
and does music direction for all
musicals within KU Theatre.
Flora, the Red Menace
features a strong-willed female
lead who stops at nothing to
land her dream job, he said.
I personally resonate with
the fact that Flora is trying to
get a job that she loves to do,
McCall said. She refuses to
have anything to stand in her
way. [She] will do anything
possible to pursue her career.
The musical features themes
of romance and how to cope
with loss as well. Cale Morrow,
a sophomore from Dodge City,
said at its heart, the message

of the show is about being true

to yourself and learning how
to navigate your way through
a romantic relationship while
remaining true to who you are.
Morrow said the theme of
you cant be right for someone
else if you arent right for
yourself is very prominent in
this show.
Morrow, 20, is a theater
major with a minor in creative
writing. He plays the role of
Harry Toukarian, Floras love
interest.
The musical can also be
related to feminism, McCall
said.
[Flora] knows what she
wants and she goes after it, he
said. She wants to be treated as
an equal. The musical is in the
30s, looking to get a job within
a big company with equal pay.
Even today we fight for equal
wages for women. Flora can
definitely be related to the
story of feminism and what it
means.
Many plays and musicals
written in the past portray
women as damsels in distress,
and female roles relied on
a male character for help,
Morrow said. He said this show
is a nice change of pace from
that stereotype the character
of Flora is far from those
portrayals.
[Flora]
is
a
strong,
independent young woman
who is dedicated to changing
the world, Morrow said. The
character of Flora is truly the
center of this classical musical,
and back in the early days of
musical theater this was a rare
occurrence.

Rock-A-Thon offers eclectic array of local music

KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley

The lawn of Pearson

Scholarship Hall will be
packed on Saturday with
people dancing and music
blaring from five local and
regional bands that will blow
your mind, according to Tyler
Daniels, social chair of Pearson
Scholarship Hall. The hall will
be hosting its 15th Annual
Rock-A-Thon from 5-11 p.m.
on Saturday.
Its essentially a music
festival open to anyone to
come hang out and have a good
time, Daniels said. It brings a
name to the scholarship halls
because its one of the only
events the scholarship halls put
on thats open to everyone.
The lineup will feature
Shadow of Whales as the
headliner, Bears and Company,
Westerners, Paper Buffalo and

A Gecko Named Terrance.

Shadow of Whales is currently
competing in Vans Warped
Tours Battle of the Bands.
Theres something for
everybody, Daniels said.
Charlie McCool, a senior
from Lawrence, planned the
event in 2013 before Daniels
took over. He said he had never
heard of Rock-A-Thon before
visiting Pearson.
My teacher in high school
told me [Pearson Scholarship
Hall] would be a great thing to
be a part of, McCool said. I
had such a great time hanging
out with the guys and everyone
who came to the event, I
wanted to put it on the next
year.
Daniels said he was initially
drawn to the University
because of Rock-A-Thon. Hed
been deciding between two
0universities and happened
to tour the scholarship halls

at Kansas the same day as the

event.
I knew thats what I wanted
to do, he said. That was the
coolest thing to me. Concert
promotion is something Im
looking to do in the future,
so that really influenced my
decision to come to KU and go
to Pearson Hall.
McCool said this event
shows off the individuality of
the scholarship halls to the
University and Lawrence as
a whole. The concert taking
place outside also adds a level
of uniqueness to the event.
Its an outdoor concert,
which doesnt happen that
often, McCool said. Its a
different experience playing
outside, and the bands have a
great time doing it.
Daniels is a DJ at KJHK and
said thats where he found
some of the bands that will play
at Rock-A-Thon. The budget

for the event this year was

$1,400. The stage alone cost
$1,300. Pearson Scholarship
Hall was able to raise nearly
$1,600 in additional funds to
pay for fees like travel expenses
for out-of-town bands.
[The bands] are usually
pretty easy to talk to, Daniels
said. You just have to convince
them this is a place they want
to play and that itll benefit
them. A lot of Lawrence bands
are pretty into it. I email the
Foo Fighters every year, and
they just wont get back to me.
Fingers crossed.
With roughly 230 people
going, according to the
Facebook page, Daniels said
he has high hopes for the 15th
Annual Rock-A-Thon.
This year, with it being the
15th anniversary, Im trying
to get it as big as possible,
Daniels said. Im trying to
make it a big deal. I just want to

make this the best theres ever

been. Ive been doing a lot of
promotion for it. We have a lot
of really quality bands coming
in.
Since the concert is free,
Daniels said he anticipates
both students and Lawrence
residents to be drawn to the
event.
Lawrence loves their music.
Thats one of the best things
about this town, especially
local music, Daniels said.
Its an amazing, totally rad
environment with some of the
best music Lawrence, and the
region, has to offer. Each band
will blow your mind one after
another. Its an easy place to go
to find some really awesome
music. Some day you can say I
saw that band at Rock-A-Thon
before they were playing at the
Sprint Center.

Alum Lucas Parker becomes popular local musician

RYAN WRIGHT

@ryanwaynewright
Lucas Parker isnt your
average University alumnus.
He is an artist of many genres,
including hip-hop, rock and
jazz, and has been performing
in Lawrence since he was
young.
Parkers next show in
Lawrence is with one of his
bands, Hearts of Darkness,
at the Bottleneck on Friday.
While growing up in
Lawrence, Parker said his
family appreciated music.
His parents never played
an instrument, but both his
brothers do. His parents had a
large role in shaping his taste
in music.
The Beatles Help! movie
was my Jungle Book, so to
speak, Parker said. I was
listening to Led Zeppelin
while all my friends were
listening to Eminem. My dad
took me to see Metallica,
Rush, and my first music
festival all when I was in my
early teens.
Shortly after graduating in
2013, Parker began to work

for several different recording

studios and artists, including
Tech N9nes Strange Music
Inc.
I have been working with
their producer, Seven, on a
number of tracks including a
few on Techs upcoming album
Special Effects, Parker said.
Special Effects currently
doesnt have a release date.
Parker is currently involved
with a number of music
projects, including a funk
band named Mouth, a hiphop collective named Hearts
of Darkness and Toy Cartel,
which is Parkers solo jazz/
rock project.
Aside
from
working
with Tech N9ne, Parker
has a choice list of musical
inspirations he developed as
he aged and discovered other
artists and bands.
When I was 12 to 13 I loved
Metallica more than any other
band in the world, and thats
kind of the reason I picked
up the guitar, Parker said. A
couple years later I learned to
appreciate the rich textures
and dreamy approach of Pink
Floyd. David Gilmour is an

amazing guitar player and will

always be one of my favorites.
Parker has not only been
inspired by artists, but hes also
been inspired by the annual
Wakarusa music festival. He
said he started attending the
festival back when it was held
in Lawrence and that he was
astounded by the scene.

[Lucas has] always stood out

as nothing short of exceptional..
DYLAN GUTHRIE
Pink Royal

I was so pleased to discover

that there was a market for
non-mainstream genres of
music, and thats when it first
dawned on me that I could
have a future playing the style
music that I loved, Parker
said.
After performing at friends
birthday parties and open
jams as a child, Parker began
performing weekly at the age
of 17, starting at a now-closed

restaurant called Stone

Creek, which was located at
3801 W 6th St. in Lawrence.
Since then hes performed at
numerous venues throughout
Lawrence and Kansas City,
including Five Bar and
Tables, which is attached
to Ingredient located at 947
Massachusetts St.
Parkers journey at Kansas
began before he finished high
school. As a teen, he began
to attend the Universitys
summer jazz workshops,
which allowed him to
approach guitar at the college
level. Once Parker started
attending Kansas in 2010,
he began his development
into becoming a professional
musician.
KU was integral in
forming me into the player I
am today, he said. He said he
built many relationships and
made some of his best friends
in the jazz department at
Kansas. Parker also said the
director, Dan Gailey, has such
a strong vision and doesnt
settle for anything less than
excellence.
The
demand
for

preparedness
and
professionalism on and off
the bandstand is one of the
hallmarks of Gaileys program,
and that pushed me to be a
much better musician than I
would have ever become had I
not gone to KU, he said.
If Parker isnt performing,
hell probably be found at
the concert of a friend or
another musician. He said
he often goes to see a friends
gig or another professional
touring band even if he isnt
necessarily a fan because he
enjoys seeing how they do
their job.
Dylan Guthrie of Lawrencebased band Pink Royal has
fond memories with Parker.
Lucas has always been
an incredibly gifted player,
Guthrie said. From our first
band together in sixth grade
to jazz camp in junior high
to playing in the combos at
KU to joining some of the
most awesome KC/Lawrence
groups, hes always stood
out as nothing short of
exceptional.

SENATE FROM PAGE 1A
The military leave policy was
passed in University Senate last
fall. If a student is in something
like Army Reserves and are
called up for temporary duty
and it conflicts with a class or
test, they are protected by academic policy to make it up. It
has potential to have a pretty
big impact on students in the
future.
We passed a bill to make
attendance a bit easier for student athletes since they have
such demanding schedules. We
were able to change our Senate
attendance requirements for
practice, events, etc., and they
would count toward excused
absences. This way, senators
who are athletes will probably
have an easier time staying
in Senate instead of being removed.
We created the CAPS Student Advisory Board, which
was emotionally important,
and weve met a lot this year
and are working on the report,
which potentially will be released next week about retention rates and mental health
services. It was probably a
highlight of the end of the fall
semester.
Student Body President
Morgan Said:
The Ad Astra Per Astra
scholarship was established,
and we prioritized nontraditional students. ($2,500 dollars
were awarded to two students.)
We are working for an area
for nontraditional students,
and we hope we put lockers,
couches and a lounge space to
create a safe place for students
who dont live on campus. They
dont have a place like this now.
Hopefully itll be there in a
couple of years.
The new light poles and
wattage increase was huge and
students were appreciative of
that. Students had been working with increasing lighting on
campus, and many coalitions
hadnt been able to sign it until this year, so we were really
excited to add that and get the
wattage without increasing student expenses.

for how they care about the
best interest of the Student
Senate as opposed to politics.
The gradual trend toward not
being so self-centered of a Student Senate, but a more inclusive and thoughtful Senate. I
personally am very happy to
see that trend, and I hope to
see next years and the years
following to always remember
that Student Senate is about the
students and not about themselves, and I am optimistic and
believe in people.
Wagner:
Me personally, I have a few
loose ends Im tying up so
Im holding onto getting everything done that I can. This
has been a tumultuous year in
more than one way, but I think
its really been a testament of
what can happen when student
voices are listened to and more
pulled into the process. I think
weve rolled with the punches
and done all we can to adapt
and keep moving on. I think

Student Senate election

polls open 6 a.m. on April
15 and conclude at 4
p.m. on April 16.

its pretty clear that the events

of this year have caused a call
for change in attitude, and everything that has happened
this year has inspired people
to take up elections to shake
up what Senate can be, and Im
excited to see what will come
in the next year. Ive learned so
much about getting a thicker
skin and staying focused on the
goals ahead, and you cant keep
everyone happy, but as long as
youre being intentional about
the work youre doing, thats a
lot of what matters. Each roadblock weve hit, weve been able
to overcome. Hopefully we set
the bar high for the next crew.
I think this is a huge year for
the history of us in the overall
story of KU. A lot has happened and the students have
advocated for their rights like
never before, and that is at the
forefront of the fight, and Im
really proud of what we were
able to do. We rolled with the
punches, and Senate has gracefully and beautifully handled
everything, and I hope students get that.

Jury finds Boston Marathon

bomber guilty on all 30 charges
DENISE LAVOIE
Associated Press

BOSTON Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev was convicted
on all charges Wednesday
in the Boston Marathon
bombing. The jury will now
decide whether the 21-yearold should be executed or
shown mercy for what his
lawyer says was a crime
masterminded by his big
brother.
The former college student
stood with his hands folded,
fidgeted and looked down
at the defense table in federal court as he listened to
the word guilty recited on
all 30 counts against him,
including conspiracy and
deadly use of a weapon of
mass destruction. Seventeen
of those counts are punishable by death.
The verdict, reached after
a day and a half of deliberations, was practically a foregone conclusion, given his
lawyers startling admission
at the trials outset that Tsarnaev carried out the terror
attack with his now-dead
older brother, Tamerlan.
The defense strategy is to
try to save Tsarnaevs life in
the upcoming penalty phase
by arguing he fell under Tamerlans evil influence.
The two shrapnel-packed
pressure-cooker
bombs
that exploded near the finish line on April 15, 2013,
killed three spectators and
wounded more than 260
people, turning the traditionally celebratory home
stretch of the world-famous
race into a scene of carnage
and putting the city on edge
for days.
Tsarnaev was found responsible not only for those
deaths but for the killing of
a Massachusetts Institute of
Technology police officer
who was gunned down days
later during the brothers
getaway attempt.
Its not a happy occasion,
but its something, said Karen Brassard, who suffered
shrapnel wounds on her legs
and attended the trial. One
more step behind us.

STEVEN SENNET/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Boston Marathon bombing survivor Karen Brassard (second from left) speaks alongside Carlos Arredondo, (left)
Laurie Scher, (second from right) and Mike Ward on Wednesday outside federal court in Boston. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
was convicted on all charges Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombing by a jury that will now decide whether
the 21-year-old should be executed or shown mercy for what his lawyer says was a crime masterminded by his older
brother.

She said Tsarnaev appeared arrogant and uninterested during the trial,
and she wasnt surprised
when she saw no remorse
on his face as the verdicts
were read. She refused to
say whether she believes he
deserves the death penalty,
but she rejected the defense
argument that he was simply following his brothers
lead.
He was in college. He was
a grown man who knew
what the consequences
would be, Brassard said. I
believe he was all in with
the brother.
Tsarnaevs lawyers left the
courthouse without comment.
In the penalty phase,
which could begin as early as Monday, the jury will
hear evidence on whether
he should get the death penalty or spend the rest of his
life in prison.
Defense attorney Judy
Clarke argued at trial that
Tsarnaev was led astray by
his radicalized brother, telling the jury: If not for Tamerlan, it would not have

happened. She repeatedly

referred to Dzhokhar
then 19 as a kid and a
teenager.

He was in college. He was a

grown man who knew what
the consequences would be.
I believe he was all in with
the brother.
KAREN BRASSARD
Boston Marathon
bombing survivor

Prosecutors, however, portrayed the brothers ethnic Chechens who moved to

the United States from Russia more than a decade ago
as full partners in a brutal and coldblooded plan to
punish the U.S. for its wars
in Muslim countries. Jihadist writings, lectures and
videos were found on both
their computers, though the
defense argued that Tamerlan downloaded the material and sent it to his brother.
Tamerlan, 26, died when

he was shot by police and

run over by his brother
during a chaotic getaway attempt days after the bombing.
The government called
92 witnesses over 15 days,
painting a hellish scene of
torn-off limbs, blood-spattered pavement, ghastly
screams and the smell of
sulfur and burned hair.
Survivors gave heartbreaking testimony about losing
legs in the blasts or watching people die. The father
of 8-year-old Martin Richard described making the
agonizing decision to leave
his mortally wounded son
so he could get help for his
6-year-old daughter, whose
leg had been blown off.
In the courtroom Wednesday, Denise Richard, the
boys mother, wiped tears
from her face after the verdict. The boys father, Bill
Richard, embraced one of
the prosecutors.
In Russia, Tsarnaevs father, Anzor Tsarnaev, told
The Associated Press in
recent days that he would
have no comment.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

Fatal police shooting video may have major impact

DAVID CRARY
Associated Press

NEW YORK Graphic videos have surfaced previously

that kindled outrage over police use of force the Rodney
King beating in Los Angeles,
last years chokehold death in
New York City. The new video
from South Carolina is perhaps the most striking yet
its depiction of a fleeing, unarmed black man being shot
in the back by a white policeman so vivid that a murder
charge came swiftly.
I have watched the video ,and I was sickened by
what I saw, Eddie Driggers,
the North Charleston police
chief, said Wednesday.
The officer who fired the
eight shots, Patrolman Michael Thomas Slager, has been
fired and charged with killing
50-year-old Walter Lamer
Scott after a routine traffic
stop.
Key questions remained
about the 3-minute video,
taken by a person whose identity has not been made public.
Yet what was depicted on the
video and subsequently
viewed by untold millions
worldwide may have a profound impact.
In the African-American
community, weve known of
episodes like this for decades,
but until theres graphic video
like this, our stories have not
been believed, said Paul Butler, a former federal prosecutor who is now a professor of
criminal law at Georgetown.
Now people are seeing what
were talking about ... how police literally treat black people
like non-human animals,
Butler said.
The video, provided to the
dead mans family and lawyer
by the person who shot the
footage, shows Slager dropping his stun gun, pulling
out his handgun and firing at
Scott as he runs away. Scott

falls after the eighth shot,

fired after a brief pause.
Scotts father, Walter Scott
Sr., said the policeman
looked like he was trying to
kill a deer running through
the woods.
The familys lawyer, Chris
Stewart, commended the person who shot the video.
He came forward to the
family because what he witnessed he just knew was
wrong, Stewart said.
Shot over a chain link fence
and through some trees, the
video begins after Scott has
left his car. Slager follows
him, reaching at the man
with an object that appears to
be a Taser stun gun. As Scott
pulls away, the object falls to
the ground, and Slager pulls
out his handgun as Scott runs
away. There is no indication
that Scott was ordered to halt
or surrender.
The final shot sends Scott
falling face-down. Slager
walks toward him and orders Scott to put his hands
behind his back, but the man
doesnt move. Slager pulls
Scotts arms back and cuffs his
hands, walks back to where he
fired the shots, picks up the
object that fell to the ground
and returns to Scotts body,
dropping the object near
Scotts feet as another officer
enters the scene.
Charleston County Sheriff Al Cannon suggested that
investigators would have ascertained Slagers culpability
without the video, but the images made their job easier.
Like the family attorney
said, once that video came
out, things moved quickly,
Cannon said.
The swift and forceful response contrasted sharply
with how events unfolded after the Rodney King beating
and the chokehold death of
Eric Garner in New York City
last July.
Kings 1991 beating by

club-wielding Los Angeles

police officers was depicted
in a videotape made by a man
who witnessed the incident
from his balcony. After four
officers were acquitted in a
state trial, the Justice Department filed federal civil rights
charges and won convictions
against two of them in 1993.
In the Garner case, a grand
jury decided not to indict
Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who was involved in the
fatal confrontation with the
350-pound black man. A video shot by a bystander showed
Pantaleo trying to arrest Garner on suspicion of selling untaxed cigarettes, then wrapping his arm around Garners
neck and along with other
officers pulling him to the
ground.
Garner can be heard repeatedly saying, I cant breathe,
before he goes limp. A medical examiner later ruled that
a chokehold, along with Garners poor health, resulted in
his death.
In another explosive case
last year the fatal shooting
of 18-year-old Michael Brown
by a white officer in Ferguson,
Mo., there was no video
of the fatal shots. As in the
Garner case, a grand jury declined to indict the officer.
The North Charleston case
intensified the ongoing national discussion about use of
body cameras by police officers.
State Sen. Marlon Kimpson,
whose district includes North
Charleston, said Wednesday
he hopes the shooting helps to
advance a bill he is co-sponsoring that would require all
South Carolina police officers
to wear body cameras.
White House spokesman
Josh Earnest described the
new video as awfully hard
to watch and suggested that
greater use of body cameras
could help improve community/police relations.

COMMENTARY

KU doesnt have
press conferences
for NBA, NFL draft
announcements

SWEET
SWEEP

Amie Just

@Amie_Just

ne week, two NBA

draft announcements,
two press releases, no
press conferences.
When Kelly Oubre Jr. declared
for the NBA draft on April 1,
there was a just a press release.
Granted, it did say, in lieu of a
press conference, Oubre chose
to keep his decision between
himself, his dad (Kelly Oubre,
Sr.) and head coach Bill Self.
Good luck dealing with the
media every day for the rest
of your life, Oubre. The NBA
scrum is much worse and much
more critical.
When Cliff Alexander
declared for the NBA draft on
April 7, no such statement in
regards to wanting to keep his
decision private was made. On
the other hand, its obvious KU
Athletics didnt want Alexander
addressing the media, due to
the NCAAs investigation into
improper benefits.
Lets take a trip to Tucson,
Ariz., the city where the University of Arizona is located. On the
same day Alexander declared
for the draft, another college
basketball player was doing the
same, 1,200 miles away.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, a
sophomore forward, sat down
in front of the media with
coach Sean Miller to make his
announcement.
At Murray State, located in
Murray, Ky., Cameron Payne,
a sophomore guard, made
his announcement the day
before Alexander in a press
conference.
How about at Nebraska? Terran Petteway, a junior forward,
had his press conference scheduled for April 8, but it had to be
postponed because his mother
passed away the night before.
What about at Kentucky? John
Calipari said he expects five to
seven of his players to declare
for the NBA. And when that
happens, you can bet Calipari
will be right there in front of the
media with his players.
You can expect the same thing
to happen at Duke.
So why is Kansas one of the
few remaining blue blood
schools not scheduling press
conferences? Declaring for the
NBA should be an exciting time
for the players, and they should
want to share that excitement
publicly.
Its not just basketball, either.
Nigel King declared for the NFL
draft back in January. Was there
a press conference? No. Just a
138-word press release.
What does it say to the fans
who spend thousands of dollars
on tickets to watch them play?
What about to the fans who
spend entire paychecks at the
KU Bookstore? What about
to the kids who idolize these
athletes?
Its definitely not answering
any of their questions.
Press releases dont convey
emotion, and they dont answer
the tough questions. Press
releases are just curated words
on a page, and curated words on
a page dont cut it.

McLaughlin, Jayhawks go 2-0

against Lobos in mid-week series

MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN
Freshman first baseman Owen Taylor reaches for a ball Wednesday afternoon. The Jayhawks defeated the New Mexico Lobos 10-5 at Hoglund Ballpark. In the game the day before, Kansas won 10-9.

KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer

Kansas baseball sent the

New Mexico Lobos home
winless Wednesday after a
10-5 victory.
Wednesdays win gives the
Jayhawks their first sweep of
the season as they won both
games in the two-game midweek series.
When you get into midweek games, youre playing
Tuesday, Wednesday and
everybody in the country is showing up on the
mound, coach Ritch Price
said. They set the table for
us and our guys were disciplined enough to take advantage of it.
The Jayhawks took the lead
early in the first two innings,
getting ahead of the Lobos
by five runs on only one hit.
The lone hit came off freshman Matt McLaughlins bat
and extended his current

hitting streak to 10 consecutive games.

After McLaughlins hit, the
runs poured in, starting with
a balk from New Mexicos
Mike Gould, which brought
in Steve Goldstein to give
the Jayhawks a 1-0 lead. No
time was wasted putting the
second run on the board as
sophomore Michael Tinsley
hit a sacrifice fly into left
field to bring McLaughlin
home.
The Lobos produced the
only hit of the following inning. However, the second
inning belonged to the Jayhawks.
Gould walked three Jayhawks to load the bases before being replaced by righthander Victor Sanchez.
There was no improvement,
however, as two walks and a
throwing error put the Jayhawks up 5-0 after two innings.
The scoring settled for just

an inning until the bottom

of the fourth when the Jayhawks put three more runs
on the board, except this
time by means of the Jayhawks bats. After starting
the inning with two outs, the
Jayhawks produced four hits
in a row, including an RBI
double by McLaughlin.

Momentum is really important in baseball. Hopefully it

rides the ship a little bit.
RITCH PRICE
Baseball coach

New Mexico finally found

home plate against Jayhawks
starter Sean Rackoski in the
top of the fifth after a double by Jared Holley to lead
things off. Aaron Siple then
followed suit with an RBI
single to drive in Holley.

Kansas freshman Ryan

Ralston entered the game
in place of Rackoski after a
three-strikeout performance
through five innings while
only giving up one earned
run.
The Jayhawks Joe Moroney started the bottom
of the sixth with a double
to left field, which set up
McLaughlin to earn his third
RBI of the game and gave the
Jayhawks a 9-1 lead.
Both teams managed a run
in the eighth inning while
Moroney found home plate
yet again, this time at the
hands of Kansas Joven Afenir.
Down eight runs in the
top of the final inning, the
Lobos fought hard to forge
a comeback. Four straight
hits, including two doubles,
brought the Lobos within
six and a sacrifice fly put
one more on the board, but
it wasnt enough. The Jay-

hawks walked away victorious.

Kansas McLaughlin was
awarded last weeks Big 12
Newcomer of the Week and
continued his success on
the field and in the batters
box against New Mexico
Wednesday with three hits
and three RBIs.
When we recruited [McLaughlin], we thought he
was going to be an impact
player as a freshman, Price
said. He has quality professional at-bats and a high
baseball IQ.
The Jayhawks will try to
carry their momentum back
to conference play as they
welcome Oklahoma State
to Hoglund Ballpark for a
weekend series.
Momentum is really important in baseball, Price
said. Hopefully it rides the
ship a little bit.

The meet will house some of

and field teams and will be host-

ed by coach Stanley Redwines

alma mater Arkansas, a top-10

multiple elite SEC schools.
Junior Sydney Conley will be

Redwine also said senior Lindsay Vollmer is 100 percent after suffering a leg injury in the
NCAA Indoor Championships.
Vollmer placed in three events in

Police: Pacers Copeland stabbed outside NYC club

COLLEEN LONG
VERENA DOBNIK
Associated Press

NEW YORK Indiana

Pacers forward Chris Copeland,
his girlfriend and another
woman were stabbed early
Wednesday
following
an
argument on the street near a
Manhattan nightclub that also
led to the arrest of two Atlanta
Hawks players, authorities said.
The violence erupted just
before 4 a.m. outside 1Oak
Nightclub, a trendy spot where
celebs like Justin Bieber and
Snoop Dogg mingle, police said.
The couple were arguing
on the street as the attacker
eavesdropped and started to
interfere, according to police.
The dispute escalated until the
22-year-old suspect pulled out a
knife and started slashing, police
said. Copelands driver grabbed
the suspect and held him until
officers arrived.
The suspect, Shezoy Bleary,
was in custody, authorities
said. Police said charges were
pending, and it wasnt clear
whether Bleary had an attorney
who could comment on them.
Copeland was stabbed in the
left elbow and abdomen and
Katrine Saltara was slashed in
the arm and across the breast.
The second woman, who was
believed to be with the attacker,
was slashed in the abdomen. The
victims were hospitalized and
in stable condition, police said.
Police recovered a switchblade
at the scene.
Pacers coach Frank Vogel said
Copeland had surgery on his
elbow and abdomen and would
be hospitalized overnight. He
added it wasnt known yet
if Copeland would miss the
remainder of the season.

Hawks players Pero Antic,

33, and Thabo Sefolosha, 30,
who were not with Copeland
but were also at the club, were
arrested after police said they
blocked officers from trying
to start their investigation.
The teammates were in town
to play the Brooklyn Nets on
Wednesday night. The team
arrived late Tuesday, after
defeating the Phoenix Suns in
Atlanta.
Antic and Sefolosha were
released without bail after a brief
court appearance where they
were charged with obstructing
governmental authority and
disorderly conduct. Their
attorney, Alex Spiro, said they
did not commit any crime.
They should not have been
arrested. We fully expect the
case to be dismissed, he said.
The Hawks said neither Antic
nor Sefolosha would play against
the Nets. Sefolosha was limping
during his court appearance, and
Spiro said he had been injured
during the arrest. Atlanta Hawks
coach Mike Budenholzer said
the reserve would have his ankle
checked.
The players issued a joint
statement
through
the
team, apologizing for any
embarrassment they caused.
As members of the Atlanta
Hawks, we hold ourselves to a
high standard and take our roles
as professionals very seriously,
the statement said. We will
contest these charges and look
forward to communicating
the facts of the situation at the
appropriate time.
Budenholzer
called
the
incident unfortunate, but said
the Hawks would support Antic
and Sefolosha, who remained in
New York.
Were very supportive of our
players, and you never want

to put yourself in a position

where you can bring negativity
to yourself or the organization
or your teammates, but theyre
great guys and I think right now
its most important to support
them, he said.
The Pacers were in town to
play the Knicks; Copeland
played with New York during
the 2012-13 season. Pacers
President
of
Basketball
Operations Larry Bird said the
team was aware that Copeland
had been injured.
We are still gathering
information and will update
when we know more. Our
thoughts are with Chris and
those injured, Bird said.
Copeland
has
played
infrequently, missing 21 games
since Jan. 31. With All-Star Paul
George making his season debut
Sunday, Copelands already
limited minutes were expected
to get cut. Police initially said
Saltara was with his wife, but
Copelands agent said the two
were not married. According
to Saltaras Facebook page, they
have been engaged for several

THE DAILY DEBATE

Which NBA team would Cliff Alexander fit best on?

Sean Collins
@seanzie_3

OKLAHOMA CITY
The best team for Cliff
Alexander would be the
Oklahoma City Thunder for
multiple reasons. First off,
even if the Thunder are able to
make the playoffs this season,
they could have a draft pick in
the late teens, giving them the
possibility to select Alexander,
who will likely go in the 15-25
range.
The biggest deal for
Alexander is that although
he may fall behind in the
draft, he has valuable skills
that can help any team right
away, especially a team like the
Thunder which is one move
and a healthy roster away from
a championship.
When the basketball world
is surprised Russell Westbrook
didnt get a triple-double, you
know he is carrying the load
for a depleted team.
Alexander would be a great
fit for the Thunder with

his length, athleticism and

rebounding skills. Alexanders
ability to hold down the
boards along with center Enes
Kanter would allow them to
push the ball in transition and
grab second chance points
more often. However, this
might not be the conclusion
one would draw by looking
at his college stats. They
dont give a completely fair
judgment of Alexanders
season because of playing
time, but his per 40 numbers
are very strong.
In the NBA, a young player
like Alexander will need
guidance. Hes not yet ready
to lead a bottom-feeding NBA
team. The Thunder have a
veteran locker room and two
superstars in Kevin Durant
and Westbrook. Guidance like
this would give a player like
Alexander the best chance to
succeed quickly and be put
into a role in which he can
make an impact.
However, there are also
opportunities for him to play.
With recent injuries to Durant,
Alexander can provide rest for
the former MVP. And with
his overall size, Alexander
can move from small forward
to power forward and either
Dion Waiters or Anthony
Morrow could play in a
three-guard backcourt. Not

only does Alexanders ability

to rebound allow the Thunder
to have more fast guards
on the court, he also serves

YOUNG PLAYER
LIKE ALEXANDER
WILL NEED
GUIDANCE. HES
NOT YET READY

BOTTOM-FEEDING
NBA TEAM.
as a strong lob option for
Westbrook when in the pick
and roll.
Westbrook and Alexander
would make a great one-two
punch with Alexander above
the rim, and when Durant is
fully healthy, this would be
a team that would be even
more of a title contender than
they already are. Alexanders
athleticism and strength
would be a great addition to
an already good team, and for
that reason, the Thunder are
the best fit for him.

Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU

BOSTON
While there are a few
situations that could allow
him to showcase his talents,
for Cliff Alexander, no greater
opportunity exists than in the
place former Jayhawk legend
Paul Pierce once called home.
Boston.
Right now, the Celtics really
only have one player that
would sit ahead of Alexander
on the depth chart in Jared
Sullinger. But as Sullinger
is extremely injury prone,
Alexander would likely be
given an opportunity to start
at various points in the year.
However, to start the year,
Alexander would be able to
come off the bench, which
would allow him to develop,
playing for one of the leagues
best coaches in Brad Stevens.
One major benefit should
come in the changed
dynamic in the coach-player
relationship, as Alexander

struggled at times playing for

an impatient Kansas coach Bill
Self, who had little tolerance
for mistakes.
Stevens, on the other hand,
is known for his laid-back
demeanor, which should
allow Alexander the ability
to develop without too much
pressure, which was an issue
back in early February.
And looking at the
team, the Celtics could
provide Alexander with the
opportunity to play meaningful
minutes on a potential playoff
team without facing the
scrutiny of going to OKC or
Cleveland. Additionally, he
could altogether avoid teams
like the Thunder, who have
a log jam at the four and five
positions.
After all, at Oklahoma City,
Alexander would have to battle
for minutes with established
young standouts like Serge
Ibaka, Steven Adams and Enes
Kanter while still having to pry
minutes away from players like
Nick Collison, who has been
a fixture of the team for a long
time. Not to mention the fact
the Thunder drafted a young
forward in Mitch McGary one
season ago.
And while its important for
Alexander to avoid a loaded
team, he also would probably
prefer to stay away from a team

like the Knicks or the Nets,

which are completely devoid of
talent at the four position.
The Celtics are the perfect
median of almost every NBA
situation Alexander could
find himself in, and theyre a
team he should really want to
end up on. The opportunity to
play with an up-and-coming
coach and franchise while
avoiding a volatile situation

THE CELTICS ARE

THE PERFECT
MEDIAN OF
ALMOST EVERY
NBA SITUATION
ALEXANDER COULD
FIND HIMSELF IN.
should bode well for the
former No. 3-ranked high
school recruit in the nation,
according to ESPN.
Its also worth noting that if
the draft were to start today,
the Celtics would be picking
26th, as theyd receive the
Clippers pick, which is right
around the spot Alexander is
projected to go.

MISSY MINEAR/KANSAN
Freshman shortstop Matt McLaughlin swings through a ball while at bat Wednesday afternoon against New Mexico.
The Jayhawks won 10-5 at Hoglund Ballpark. Last week, McLaughlin won Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.

Matt McLaughlin holds

on to hitting streak
EVAN RIGGS
@EvanRiggs15

After
snagging
the
Big 12 Newcomer of the
Week award last week,
freshman Matt McLaughlin continued his hot streak
against the New Mexico
Lobos (16-15). McLaughlin went 4-of-9 (.444) from
the plate with four RBIs and
three runs scored in the two
games, despite only managing one hit in the first game.
However, McLaughlin went
off in the second game, batting a scorching 3-of-4 with
three RBIs.
I felt good, I took a 1-for-5
last night but I felt like I saw
the ball well, McLaughlin
said. I knew that with how
well Ive been seeing the ball
I was going to have a good
day at the plate.
Like any freshman, McLaughlin has had his share of
ups and downs this season.
Since conference play began,
however, his play has taken

off. Hes currently riding a

10-game hitting streak, the
longest active streak on the
team, and on the season he
is hitting .330 with 17 RBIs.
However, when things
werent going as well earlier
in the season, McLaughlin
said seeing his name in the
lineup was a huge confidence booster.
Luckily for me, Ive had
the chance to play a lot as a
freshman, McLaughlin said.
Youve got to pay your respects to Coach for putting
me in the lineup.
The freshman from San
Jose, Calif., was expected to
be a heavy contributor this
season, but he has exceeded
the expectations of his coach
in year one.
When we recruited him,
we thought he was going to
be an impact player, coach
Ritch Price said. Hes exceeded our expectations.
He has quality, professional
at-bats. He can take the ball
the other way, and hes got a

really high baseball IQ. Im

really proud of him.
McLaughlins
offensive
game has been spectacular
as of late and his fielding has
been good as well. He has
a .946 fielding percentage,
with just five errors on the
season, and none in conference play.
Hes a quality defender,
Price said. I thought he
played well at shortstop today. McLaughlin made a
great diving catch to end the
game Wednesday afternoon.
The Jayhawks got two
much needed wins after a
tough 1-5 start to conference
play. To be successful going
forward, they will need their
freshman phenom to continue producing.
Hopefully, the way Ive
been playing continues for
the rest of the year, McLaughlin said. I knew my
skill set would translate over
to Big 12 baseball.

After recording their first

conference sweep of the
season, the No. 22 Jayhawks
(32-5, 3-3) look to keep
rolling against the Texas Tech
Red Raiders (16-23, 0-6) this
weekend in Lubbock, Texas.
The Jayhawks are coming
off a big road sweep of the
Oklahoma State Cowgirls.
The Jayhawks bounced back
from being swept in the
conference opener against the
Texas Longhorns by defeating
the Cowgirls by a score of 7-6
Thursday, 10-5 Saturday and
3-2 Sunday.
The star of the weekend was
junior Chaley Brickey, who
earned her second career Big
12 Player of the Week honor.
Over the weekend, Brickey
led the team with six hits, five
runs scored, two doubles and
two home runs against the
Cowgirls. Brickey recorded a
1.273 slugging percentage and
a .615 on-base percentage. She
recorded a .545 batting average
for the weekend, according to
a University release.
During the season, Brickey
leads the Jayhawks in most
statistical categories, boasting
a .412 batting average, 49 hits,
28 runs scored, 45 RBIs and 10
home runs. Daniella Chavez
looks to continue an impressive
freshman season, recording a
.356 batting average, 37 hits, 19
runs scored, eight home runs,
and she ranks second on the
team with 44 RBIs.
Senior Alicia Pille leads

CHICAGO Jake Arrieta

allowed three hits over seven
innings and Starlin Castro
had a go-ahead RBI single
in a two-run seventh inning,
leading the Chicago Cubs
over the St. Louis Cardinals
2-0 Wednesday for their first
win this season.
Backed by just two hits
from Chicagos offense, Arrieta (1-0) struck out seven
and walked three. He was
10-5 with a 2.53 ERA in a
breakout 2014 and improved
to 3-0 with a 0.74 ERA in six
career starts against St. Louis.
Phil Coke, Neil Ramirez,
Pedro Strop and Hector
Rondon combined for hitless relief. Rendon pitched a
perfect ninth for his first save

to St. Louis on Sunday nights

Lance Lynn (0-1) struck
out nine in six-plus innings,
allowing both runs one

Both teams again struggled
to score at a cool and damp

Anthony Rizzo was hit by a

the water in the SMU regatta
after severe weather caused
the team to miss most of its

Cardinals: Because the Cardinals did not alter their rotation order after Tuesdays
rainout, RHP Michael Wacha will get one more day
before his first start of 2015.
Wacha, slowed by shoulder
problems last year, will pitch
Saturday in Cincinnati.
Cubs: The Cubs slightly
changed their pitching rotation, scheduling LHP Travis Wood to pitch Friday
and RHP Jason Hammel on
Saturday against Colorado.
Before Tuesdays rainout,
Hammel was slated to pitch
Wednesday and Wood was
to throw Friday. Cubs manager Joe Maddon said the decision to push back Hammel
was made to keep Wood on
schedule. Nobodys ill, nobodys hurt, Maddon said.

Detroit Tigers shut out Minnesota

Twins again in 11-0 rout Wednesday
NOAH TRISTER
Associated Press

DETROIT Anibal Sanchez helped Detroit blank

Minnesota for the second
straight game, Jose Iglesias
had four hits and Alex Avila
scored four runs as the Tigers routed the Twins 11-0
Wednesday.
Ian Kinsler drove in four
runs for Detroit, which had
beaten Minnesota 4-0 on
opening day behind star lefthander David Price. Sanchez
(1-0) was impressive, as well,
allowing three hits and two
walks in 6 2-3 innings while
striking out six. It was the
right-handers first start since
Aug. 8. He was limited over
the last two months of last
season by a pectoral issue.
Ricky Nolasco (0-1) gave up
six runs and six hits in three-

plus innings, walked four and

struck out two.
Avila and Iglesias, hitting
eighth and ninth in the order,
reached base every time they
came up Avila had three
walks and a single.
Anthony Gose, making his
Detroit debut after the Tigers
acquired the center fielder
in an offseason trade, came
within a home run of the cycle.
This is easily the longest
shutout streak for the Tigers to start a season since at
least 1912. They opened with
12 scoreless innings in 1914,
1947 and 2004, according to
STATS.
The Twins have never gone
this long without scoring their
first run since moving to Minnesota, although the original
Washington Senators were
blanked for 19 innings at the

start of 1940.
Avila drew leadoff walks in
the third and fourth, and the
Tigers went on to big innings
both times. Kinsler opened
the scoring with a two-run
single in the third, and Miguel
Cabreras RBI double made it
3-0.
Gose added a two-run triple
in the fourth, and Kinsler followed with an RBI single that
skipped past center fielder
Jordan Schafer for an error.
Kinsler came home on a wild
pitch for a 7-0 lead.
Even after Avila was taken
out, the No. 8 spot remained
productive when pinch-hitter
James McCann singled in the
eighth. Iglesias followed with
a walk the last two spots in
the Detroit order reached base
in all 10 plate appearances.
It was the first four-hit game
of Iglesias career.

TRAINERS ROOM
Twins: Minnesota has been
remarkably healthy at the start
of the season, and the pitching
staff shouldnt be too fatigued
even after Wednesdays game.
The Twins only used four relievers.
Tigers: Detroit officially put
RHP Justin Verlander on the
15-day DL on Wednesday, a
move that had been expected
for about a week. There was
some thought that Verlander
might be able to come back
from a strained right triceps
in time for Sundays game at
Cleveland, but now LHP Kyle
Lobstein is slated for that start.

Jayhawks prepare for showdown with Cowboys

WESLEY DOTSON
@WesleyDee23

After a two-game midweek

sweep of the New Mexico
Lobos, Kansas baseball will
welcome the ninth-ranked
Oklahoma State Cowboys for
a three-game set this weekend.
The Jayhawks completed
their sweep of the Lobos on
Wednesday afternoon. They
won 10-5. Sophomore Sean
Rackowski got his first win of
the season, pitching five innings while surrendering six
hits, allowing one earned run,
and striking out three batters.
The Cowboys will come into
Lawrence hot. They are winners of their last four, and are
fresh off a 24-2 drubbing they
gave to the Oklahoma Sooners
on April 7.
The Jayhawks hope to continue to ride the hot bat of
freshman Matt McLaughlin. McLaughlin had another
strong performance Wednesday, going 3-of-4 with three
RBIs. He is now on a 10-game
hitting streak.
I felt good, McLaughlin said
after Wednesdays win. I got
three hits and it felt good to get
back on track.
The weekend rotation for
the Jayhawks in the upcoming series includes junior Ben
Krauth on Friday, freshman
Blake Weiman on Saturday
and senior Drew Morovick
on Sunday. This has been the
weekend rotation during conference play so far this season,
so expect these three to be the
projected starters. Krauth has
had the most success of the
three starters this season, as he
owns a 5-2 record with a 4.97
ERA, along with 42 strikeouts
in 50 and two-thirds innings
pitched.
Coach Ritch Price knows
pitching is still an area that
needs improvement. It will be
crucial against the Cowboys,
who as a team are hitting .286
with 59 doubles and 23 home
runs.
Were last in pitching, but I
do feel like we are starting to
get better starts from our guys
and you know, its week-byweek. Its not just going to happen overnight, Price said.
Oklahoma States average is
ranked second in the Big 12
to Kansas. Outfielder Connor
Costello is a player to watch for
Oklahoma State. He leads the
team in home runs with five, as
well as RBIs at 29.
Starters Weiman and
Morovick will need to provide
strong starts over the weekend in order to compete with
a Cowboys offense that has led
their team to a top-10 NCAA
ranking. Morovick on the season is 2-3 with a 5.45 ERA in
seven starts, and Weiman has
yet to win a game in four starts.
He owns an 8.39 ERA in 34 and
one-third innings pitched.
The first game starts at 6 p.m.
April 10 at Hoglund Ballpark
and there will be day game
starts at 2 p.m. Saturday and 1
p.m. Sunday.

Connecticut takes womens

NCAA basketball tourney title

Tulsa in final home match
JACOB CLEMEN
@jclemn9

Despite two late points,

Kansas tennis lost 5-2
Wednesday after falling behind early in its final home
game of the season.
Kansas was unable to gain
footing early as No. 74 Tulsa
took the first four points of
the match, including a doubles point that saw the Hurricanes take courts one and
two.
The Jayhawks struggles
continued into singles play
as Tulsa dominated play early and picked up three points
by winning on courts one,
three and five. The 4-0 lead
secured a win for the Golden
Hurricanes, but Kansas battled in the final three matches.
What I like going forward
is that we didnt quit. We
didnt roll over and quit,
coach Todd Chapman said.

We lost the doubles point

and then lost the first six sets,
and we could have easily faded away and not competed.
Freshman Lauren Pickens
was unable to stay undefeated in her young career as she
failed to pick up her second
win in her second collegiate
match with a 1-6, 6-2, 0-6
loss.
Fellow freshman Smith
Hinton battled back from a
first set loss to win her second set 7-5 and force a super tie break, which she won
10-7. Hinton took a controlling 9-3 lead, but had to
battle to secure the clinching
point.
Freshman Summer Collins
followed Hintons win with a
super tie-breaker victory of
her own as she too had to rally from a first set loss, winning her second set 7-6 (7-5)
in a back and forth affair.
Collins and her opponent,
Tulsa sophomore Yelena

Nemchen, battled throughout the tiebreaker before

Collins was able to seal the
point 10-8.
Despite the loss, Chapman
was optimistic for his team as
it hits the road for an important slate of Big 12 matchups.
I think were getting it a
little bit. Weve lost a lot of
close matches, Chapman
said. The positive is weve
been competitive in every
match weve played with an
extremely young lineup
Weve learned how to compete at a different level.
The Jayhawks, who dropped
to 7-11 on the season will hit
the road for four straight
conference games before
the Big 12 Championship
on April 23, in Waco, Texas.
They will kick off the road
trip against Oklahoma State
on Friday, April 10, in Stillwater.

TAMPA, Fla. Geno

Auriemma and his UConn
Huskies will be the leading
contenders to make another championship run next
season. It would be an unprecedented 11th title that
would eclipse John Woodens UCLA Bruins and their
10 championships.
If they can pull it off,
Breanna Stewart would accomplish her goal of winning four championships at
UConn.
I think its really surreal
and I havent had a chance
to even think about that,
Stewart said after the Huskies defeated Notre Dame
63-53 on Tuesday night in
the title game. Ive won
three national championships, but said I wanted to
win four, you cant win four
without winning three first.
Stewart, the two-time AP
Player of the Year, is one
of four starters returning
and they will be joined by
another stellar incoming
recruiting class. She earned
most outstanding player of
the Final Four for the third
time, making her the first
woman to achieve that. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the
only mens player to do it
when he played for the Wizard of Westwood.
There just hasnt been
a player like Stewie in the
womens game in a long,
long time, Auriemma said.
She might be two inches
taller than Cheryl Miller and Cheryl Miller was
one of best players I saw. ...
Stewies the kind of player that womens basketball
probably hasnt seen.
Stewart had only eight

Trophy after the NCAA womens Final Four tournament championship game
against Notre Dame on Tuesday in Tampa, Fla. Connecticut won 63-53.

points in Tuesday nights

win, but she got a big lift
from her teammates. Moriah Jefferson scored 15
points and played stellar defense on Notre Dames Jewell Loyd.
She should have been the
M.O.P., said Stewart of her
classmate Jefferson.
The Huskies do lose Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and
Kiah Stokes to graduation.
Mosqueda-Lewis also had
15 points and came up with
big plays when the Huskies
needed her most.
Im glad the two buckets that K made down the
stretch were kind of the
difference in the game, Auriemma said. Thats the way

shes supposed to go out.

Auriemma, 10-for-10 in
national
championship
games, has won his titles
over a 20-year span. Wooden won his 10 over 12 years.
Obviously its a very significant number because
thats the number thats been
out there and people want to
talk about it. Ill be the first
to say Im not John Wooden
and I got a bunch of friends
whod tell you Im right, Im
not, Auriemma said. As
I said the other day I just
think what weve done here
in the last 20 years is pretty
remarkable in its own right.
Ill let the people who
write the history decide
where I fit in.
