point-in-time study
reports that the
homeless population in
Lawrence has increased 20
percent from 2013 to 2015.
Part of the reason why
the number has increased,
the study states, is because
Lawrence offers support
and shelter for the homeless. Of the 296 homeless
living in Lawrence, 207 are
living in a shelter, according to the study.
However, some of the
study's results have been
called into question.
The study provided a
snapshot of the Lawrence
homeless
community.
However, Lawrence Community Shelter officials
warn against assuming that
a one-night count accurately predicts the local homeless population.
We dont know all the
numbers, but we know that
the number keeps going up
because of problems like
the economy, mental health
and addictions, said Sally
Bartlett, a Lawrence Community Shelter case manager.
The 2015 January study
reported a total of 296
homeless in Lawrence. Of
that total, 216 were adults
and 80 were children. In
2013, there were 152 homeless adults and 71 children.
The numbers in 2011 were
similar to 2013. The study is
conducted every two years.
Bartlett said the rise in
the number of Lawrence
homeless is caused by a migration from other communities.
Seventy percent of the
people coming to the Lawrence shelter are from Lawrence, Bartlett said. The
other 30 percent is mainly
from areas like Johnson
County and Kansas City,
Kan.
Plus David Hanzlick,
director of Sheffield Place,
said the study does not
accurately count women,
which contributes to the
inexact head count. Sheffield Place is a transitional
housing program for women and children in Kansas
City, Mo.
Nobody knows how
many homeless women
with children there are because they are not the ones
sleeping on the streets,
Hanzlick said. They are
trying to protect their children from the streets by
sleeping on friends couches, in cars and in aban-
doned buildings.
Additionally, Hanzlick
said women are more likely to seek traditional housing, counseling and mental
help.
Bartlett said generally
more women than men stay
at the Lawrence shelter.
Dani Dresslar,
Lawrence Community Development
Manager, said the
city has several
programs that provide resources to
the homeless, such
as the transitional
housing program
and places to receive food.
Lawrence has a
Homeless Issue Advisory Board that
addresses
issues
such as program
funding and initiatives to help the
homeless population.
The Lawrence
Community Shelter
moved from downtown Lawrence to
a much larger shelter in August 2012.
The new shelter is
located on the outskirts of Lawrence
on 25th Street and
can house 170 peo-

Rep.

supporters. He said he believes Clintons progressive
thinking and willingness to
work with others makes her
the best candidate for the
presidency.
With the office opening
11 days before the Kansas
caucus on March 5, campaign organizers Andrea

can come from social media is perhaps its most impactful benefit. People are
more likely to try a yoga
class if they see all their
friends posting about doing the same. Food Porn
is an excellent way to get
inspired to eat healthy.
Apps and social media
also aid health by making
it easier to track progress.
According to a Research
2 Guidance report, more
than 40,000 health apps
exist today. Apps allow us
to keep track of data, and
therefore to keep track of
progress. MapMyRun and
MyFitnessPal are just a
couple examples.
The more we know
about health, the healthier we can be. The more
connected one can be

more likely they are to live
a healthy lifestyle. When
more motivation to be
healthy is available, more
people will be motivated
to be healthy. Social media promotes access and

Nikki Glaser, a University alumna, explores topics of feminism and sexuality in her show Not Safe with Nikki Glaser.
COURTNEY BIERMAN
@courtbierman
ikki Glaser is a
University alumna
whose new show,
Not Safe with Nikki Glaser, premiered on Comedy
Central on Feb. 9.
Not Safe follows Glaser as she investigates the
issues the rest of us are too
timid to ask about through
a mix of panel discussions,
field pieces and social experiments, according to
Comedy Central. The show
is mostly about sex and relationships, but it treats the
topics with respect.
Glaser said she wants
her show to reduce what she
called the sexual stigma by
using her own experiences
to relate to the audience.
Im trying to be a voice
for girls to look to not feel so
weird about how they feel,
how awkward they feel, at
any age that theyre feeling
that way, Glaser said.
Having grown up in
St. Louis, most of Glasers
friends headed off to Lawrence after high school. Glaser spent her freshman year
at the University of Colorado
at Boulder studying English.
She decided to transfer to
the University after spending a weekend on campus
during spring break.
The Jayhawks were in
the Final Four that year, and
Glaser said it was the best
weekend of her life.
Glaser started doing
standup comedy when she
was a freshman at Boulder,
but only performed once.
When she transferred to the
University, she began to do
standup in Kansas City, Mo.,
Olathe, Topeka and Wichita.
After a couple of shortlived podcasts and a
two-season run on an MTV
talk show called Nikki and
Sarah Live with her friend
Sara Schaefer, Glaser began
making guest appearances
on Comedy Central shows
like @midnight and Inside Amy Schumer. She
also had a small role in the
movie Trainwreck with
her friend Amy Schumer as

After the Royals won the World Series, students and other youth gathered together in celebration on 7th and Mass.
URPRISE, Ariz.
During Kansas Baseball Media Day earlier
this month, Kansas coach
Ritch Price drew a comparison between the bullpen of
the Kansas City Royals and
the bullpen of his team. He
talked about the Jayhawks
trying to emulate the success of the Royals, adding
that he had already seen
other Major League teams
copying them.
However, that relationship between Kansas and
Kansas City baseball doesnt
end with pitching. This season, the Jayhawks will play
at not one, but two of the
Royals stadiums.
In addition to playing
in Kauffman Stadium, the
Jayhawks have played one
game and will play their
next three at Surprise Stadium in Surprise, Ariz., the
same venue the Royals will
use during Spring Training.
These games come as
part of the Big 12/Pac 12
It can be hard to find turning points in a season without a conference win, but
for Kansas coach Brandon
Schneider, one was plain
to see.
As the Jayhawks recorded their 19th-straight
loss, 69-58 to Texas Tech,
Schneider and his players
said they look forward to
getting back at it on Monday against TCU. For a
team still searching for a
conference win, the return
game to TCU carries a lot
of meaning.
First of all, its Kansas
last chance at a conference
win. Second, its a chance
to make amends to a lackluster performance against
TCU last time around.
Were going to be on
a plane tomorrow headed
to TCU, Schneider said.
I know our players and
our staff were really disappointed in how we competed against TCU [when TCU
defeated Kansas at Allen
Fieldhouse]. So hopefully well go there and give
them a little bit better version of ourselves.
After Schneiders team
lost 70-44 to TCU on Feb.
17, Schneider said he was
upset about a lack of effort from his team as the
Jayhawks allowed a close
game to get away from
them in the second half.
Tonight has been the
first time I have been really disappointed in how
we represented ourselves,
Schneider said Feb. 17 after the home loss to TCU.
We have been a team that,
regardless of the score, has
continued to play extremely hard and continued to
fight, and I dont know that
we did that to the extent
that we have all year long.
The loss inspired Kan-

welve straight.
For Kansas, the
journey may have technically started on Oct. 9,
2015, but this game was a
date more than a decade in
the making.
A few great consecutive
seasons in Lawrence quickly
became five Big 12 titles in a
row. The streak grew to six
then to seven. What Kansas
was doing became a national story. Through changes to
the conference, no one could
dethrone the champions.
From there, it was a decade of dominance. Now, its
an even dozen.
UCLA and Kansas: No
other teams have won at
least 12 conference championships in a row a dream
realized as the Jayhawks
topped the Red Raiders in
Allen Fieldhouse Saturday,
67-58.
Certainly its a pretty
big accomplishment for any
team to win it this year,
Kansas coach Bill Self said.
We emphasized it, but we
didnt emphasize it to win
12; we emphasized it to win
one.
In a year that was supposed to provide one of the
biggest tests for the Jayhawks in continuing their
reign, the team clinched the
league with two games left
to go. It was far earlier than
was expected considering at
one point they had dropped
three games out of five and
sat behind several others in
the conference.
Through the lull and
early adversity, the team
learned how to win. Just as
so many teams in the past
had, Kansas hit its stride as
the year went on. By Saturday, it was like clockwork.
And it was clear that 12
straight was on the the Jayhawks minds. The players
had an extra pep in their
step going through warmups. Even the gameday
operations crew got in on
the fun playing the song Big
Rings by Drake as the team
walked out of the tunnel.
Right away, the boost
showed on the court; Kansas jumped ahead 5-0 and
then 8-2. However, winners of five-in-a-row in their
own right, the Red Raiders

blue-blood
matchup
against
Kentucky on Jan. 30
was a big turning point in
the season for Kansas basketball.
Not only was the game a
pivotal midseason matchup
between ranked teams, but
also the Jayhawks' overtime
win began a winning streak
of nine games.
The matchup on the
court, however, wasn't the
only blue-blood matchup
that Kansas won that night.
The other one may have
been won years earlier, but
it was celebrated on at halftime in Allen Fieldhouse.
"Rock Chalk Jayhawk"
were David Booth's last
three words before a crowd
of 16,300 as he unveiled the
original rules of basketball,
penned in 1891 by James
Naismith. Booth, a donor
to the University, gifted the
rules to Kansas basketball
after he bought them.
"I think all of us at the
University and KU fans everywhere should be thankful to David Booth for being
willing to go over and above
what someone would normally do and take the initiative to purchase the rules
and make them available to
KU," said Jim Marchiony,
associate athletic director of
KU Athletics. "I think that
all KU fans and citizens of
the state of Kansas feel that
if the rules belong anywhere,
they should be at KU."
Those rules returning to
the place where Naismith
coached from 1898 to 1907
was a landmark in the history of college basketball,
as well as American sports.

me, is a condensation [] in
some ways a summary, where
hes taken the action that led to
the result and condensed them
down into a format he can explain in two minutes.
For example, he says he
went into the class, and he didnt
have very many rules. Then he
realized afterward, they were
knocking each other around; he
needed more rules, including
you cant run with the ball,
which is rule number three.
So either he really didnt
have very many rules at all, or
what hes describing is some of
the other testing that went on
before he actually went in.
The key difference [in the
audio is] hes saying, 'I went in
with some rules, they played and
then I wrote down the rules.' All
the written versions say, [he]
wrote the rules and [then] went
in. But we know from many different accounts that he did try
various versions of other games
beforehand. They tried to play
football inside; they tried to
play soccer; they tried to play lacrosse. There were broken windows in the gym, broken bones;
people got hurt.
So when I hear him describing that, to my mind, what hes
doing that is presenting it in a
format where its true to the nature of the process.
Youve
heard
him
speak, read his words and
watched him on silent
films. What do you think
about Naismith the person?
MZ: What continues to
stand out to me is his humility. He was a very humble man.
He was proud of what he did,
but he was really humble, and
he was purpose driven. He was
someone who designed the
game with the goal of inculcating charter into young men, and
thats where the religion component comes in.
He was a proponent of
