rsalyer@kansan.com An Israeli guest speaker told University student senators life in his country goes beyond the violent depictions in the media and that Israel is a safe place to travel and study at yesterdays full-Senate meeting. Shahar Arieli, the Israeli Consulate of Academic Affairs in the Midwest, said because Israel is located in a conflict zone, that is often the only side of the country
Students ask questions to Israel Deputy Consulate General Shahar Arieli Wednesday night in the Kansas Union during a student senate meeting. Arieli stressed that Israel is not only about conflict.

Americans know. Israel is an unusual creature, Arieli said. We are different in our form of government. We are the only true democracy in the Middle East. Arieli said a difference in government and religion have made relationships difficult with neighbors of Israel, and said several Middle Eastern countries refuse to acknowledge Israel as a state. If you are interested in learning about the Middle East, the safest place you can do that now, in the Middle East, is Israel, Arieli said. It is very different from the U.S., but also very similar to the U.S. in terms of values, in terms of democracy and freedom. Israel is comparable in size to New Jersey Arieli said, with about 7.5 million people, and Israel had 3 million tourists last year. Our economy is different because we do not have natural oil or gas, Arieli said. We have to devote the only element we have, and that is the human element. Arieli said Israel flourishes in technology development and encouraged anyone studying abroad to consider the country for both its advancement and nightlife. Tel Aviv is alive at all hours of the night and it is completely safe, Arieli said, adding that violent crime and robberies very rarely occur. But Arieli acknowledged his country faces difficulties, saying that he believes its a part of international relations. When asked by a senator about the possibility of nuclear attainment by Iran, an attempt the Israeli government starkly opposes, Arieli spoke about safety concerns. Although our country is very safe now, it may be very difficult for that to continue if Iran has nuclear capabilities, Arieli said. You will see countries in the Middle East trying to arm themselves in what is already the most dangerous part of the world. Arieli said Israel will try to stop the country through diplomacy and military action is the last resort. Libby Johnson, student body president, said she felt the talk fourth most powerful woman. She graduated from the University in 1982 with a masters in geology. Lorraine Haricombe is the dean of libraries at Kansas and an accomplished scholar in the field of librarianship. Debra Kamps is a senior scientist for the Juniper Gardens Childrens Project at the University. Kamps earned a masters degree in special education in 1975 and a Ph.D. in special education in 1983 from the University. Linda Weir-Enegren is founder of Rainbows United and president of LS Industries. Weir-Enegren graduate for the University in 1977 with a Bachelor of Arts in speech communication and human relations. The program also honored 18 women with one of the 14 Womens Recognition Awards and 20 outstanding female students in on-campus housing or sororities. According to the press release, the awards were established to honor University female students, staff, faculty and alumnae who have enriched and improved the campus and community through their service, teaching or involvement.

Wounded U.S. soldiers lie on the ground at the scene of a suicide attack in Maimanah, the capital of Faryab province north of Kabul, Afghanistan on Wednesday, April 4. A suicide bomber blew himself up, killing at least 10 people, including three NATO service members, officials said, the latest in a string of attacks as spring fighting season gets under way. A senior U.S. defense official has confirmed that two U.S. soldiers were among three NATO forces killed in a suicide bombing in northern Afghanistan.

ahawkins@kansan.com vice-president of the Economic Policy Institute has been speaking out against, possibly illegal, unpaid internships. He argues that the current system pushes lower middle class and poorer students out of the running for internships because they cannot afford to work for no pay. Besides paying for the credit hours at the university, the student would need to pay for gas and possibly housing and food in order to work. Instead of applying for internships, these candidates will go toward jobs. Eisenbrey also notes that universities get a nice deal out of this system. They dont have to pay teachers to teach the students. They dont have to provide facilities or facilitate the students learning. But they do receive money from that student. In a way, its a partnership. The university receives tuition, the employer receives a free employee and the bill is footed by an intern in search of work
That awkward moment when you dont notice your friend because youre too busy staring at Kevin Young. That feeling of dread when youre at the bottom of the hill and you realize your class is at the very top of the hill. I cant tell if the girl next to me is pregnant or rockin the beer gut. You just saw two bugs mating? I just woke up to my roommate and his girlfriend mating. Its that time of year, all year. To whomever has the Koowhip license plate: I love you. That moment of panic when you actually think the floss tightly wound around your finger is going to lead to amputation. The girl in the stands next to me is only standing and sitting when I do. I cant tell if shes trying to fit in or if she wants some of this. Yesterday I went to a campus bathroom and passed out for an hour. College life. Why yes, I do exfoliate. Prepare yourselves, the April showers are coming. Its raining. God must be mourning our loss of the national championship. Yes, Im the girl tearing up while walking and reading the uDK. Sometimes I completely wrap myself in blankets and pretend Im a burrito. Can Project X please quit littering all over campus? It makes me not want to go. Cheer on your fellow wildcat? What about your fellow Kansan? Here at Ku we can take out our anger on the teams we lose to by going to the street with the states name and tearing down all the signs. To the students who took down the Kentucky street signs: dont destroy our city! Thats trashy! On the plus side, there was plenty of parking, an ample supply of newspapers, and no lines at The underground today. Its funny how whenever stress kicks in, my fingernails magically start to grow only for me to bite them off again! Speaking of muppets, my anatomy teacher sounds just like Kermit the Frog!

experience. But not all internships will provide the same amount of knowledge as a class. Some may consist of making copies or filing papers. Unless youre majoring in organization, that may not be the most productive use of tuition money. Eisenbrey argues that the current system teaches employers that they dont need to pay someone to do entry-level work, like making copies. They can hire an intern to do it for them. The government realizes this, at least to an extent. Internships are addressed in the Fair Labor Standards Act. In the act, it specifies six criteria that a for-profit company must meet in order for them to legally offer an unpaid internship. One of the criteria is that the work must be beneficial to the intern. Can the employer defend how making copies is beneficial to you as an intern? Whose job it is to check the legality of an internship has been called into question? University career centers have too many postings to possibly investigate
every single one, and students just want to get accepted into a program regardless. So is it the government or the employer who polices this? What difference does it make anyways? According to a study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the average salary of a student with an unpaid internship is $13,000 less than a student with a paid internship and even $3,700 less than a student with no internship at all. In other words, unpaid internships dont put students at an advantage in the workforce, and as Eisenbrey puts it in his blog, Unpaid work is exploitation. Students should think twice about accepting that unpaid internship and employers should think twice about not paying their interns. If they value the goals of their interns and the law, they should offer paid internships.

The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern; 3. The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff; 4.

Anchorman sequel sure to Going Bovine a dark impress with returning cast and humorous book
ith the news that Will Ferrell dropped on TBS Conan, the Internet was going crazy with happiness. Yes, the highly anticipated sequel to the comedy classic Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy has finally been green lit, with all of the original cast returning. Since the release of Anchorman in the summer of 2004, three of the four members of Channel Four news went on to find themselves with a very solid career in Hollywood. Will Ferrell has done several classic comedy films, University of Kansas Alum Paul Rudd has found success as a main role and a supporting actor in many other comedy films, and Steve Carell found himself in one of the most famous TV sit-com roles in the past decade as Michael Scott of NBCs The Office. Comparing the three careers since the film has been released, its hard to tell who has had the most success. But by bringing them all back together, it doesnt really matter. I suggest you go back and watch Anchorman and notice how truly amazing the film really is. Its possibly the best comedy film in the past 20 years. That is not an exaggeration. To me, it is without a doubt, the greatest comedy film in my lifetime. Dont believe me? Go watch it. Right now. Do it. After that, come back and tell me how

jmoreland@kansan.com y main job here at the UDK is to expose you, the student body, to new and interesting books that you might not otherwise read one keyword being new. So, only after rifling through three-hundred of the nearly five-hundred pages of Going Bovine by Libba Bray did I realize the book was published over three years ago. (Thank you to my favorite bookstore and your supposed best new releases stand!) Luckily, another of my goals as a columnist is to introduce authors to a more diverse audience. Going Bovine author Libba Bray is relatively unknown despite having multiple New York Times bestselling-novels, though she has a cult following on Tumblr and other blog sitesand for good reason. Going Bovine is a dark comedy filled with veiled pop-culture references, sneering humor, and good old-fashioned craziness. The story follows Cameron Smith, a Texas high school junior, as he transitions from a typical slacker and loner to a demented victim of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, better known as mad cow disease. Cameron quickly begins to hallucinate and loses control of his body at the most inopportune times. Once Cameron is hospitalized, the story becomes very weirdvery fast. He is soon visited by a punkrock-angel messenger named Dulcie who tasks him with a cryptic mission to find his cure and save the world. Oh, and the cure for his illness is held secret by a mysterious Dr. X, a trans-dimensional, time-traveling genius, who is guarded by fire giants, spontaneous black holes, and a gigantic, sword-wielding knight named The Wizard of Reckoning. Yeahand thats only where things begin to get strange. Cameron must also take his fellow classmate Gonzo with him on his journey. Gonzo is a little
person with severe hypochondria and an addiction to violent video games. Much of the story follows a sort of buddy film script, in which Cameron is the levelheaded adventurer and Gonzo is the agitated worrywart looking to bail at the slightest drop of danger. Their constant bickering and improvised schemes make for quite a comedic duo. As Cameron and Gonzo escape and make their journey across America, Dulcie drops in from time to time to give them obscure clues as to where they can find Dr. X. Throughout their journey the two meet a diverse and interesting cast of characters including a demon-fighting jazz musician, a happiness cult, and a talking garden gnome. All the while, Cameron goes in and out of consciousness in his hospital bed, making him (and the reader) unsure whether his hallucinations are real or not. Going Bovine has the most bizarre plot Ive ever read (and Ive read some weird stuff!), and if youre not willing to follow author Libba Bray through all the unexpected twists and turns you may end up feeling annoyed. At times, I felt the constant mayhem and breakneck pace were irritating and repetitive, and I think the book is about one hundred pages longer than necessary. Nonetheless, I cant accuse Going Bovine of being slow or unimaginative. The wacky characters and fantasy-driven imagery will keep you along for a wild ride, whether you like it or not. I would describe the novel as Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy-meets-Scott Pilgrim with a modern pinch of Holden Caulfield-esque cynicism, though not as good as any of the aforementioned references. Still, Going Bovine is smartly written and laced with references to pop culture, mythology, philosophy and a lot more. Bray does not go a single paragraph without smirk-inducing humor. Overall, Going Bovine is a good and original read, just a little long and disjointed. I think its one of those polarizing books people will either love or hate. Check it out and tell me what you think. Moreland is a junior in accounting from Lees Summit, Mo.

A 3-year-old she was watching was found wandering around the backyard. A neighbor pulled another child Enochs had been taking care of, 19-month-old Abigail Jones, from the rubble. I heard the rumbling from the tornado and I didnt even hear the house fall, Enochs said. Abigail was taken to the hospital but released. The blonde, smiling child with bows in her hair was bruised on her cheek and forehead, but not seriously hurt. Her mother, Misty Jones, brought her back Wednesday to see what had happened. Seven people were injured in Forney, none seriously. An additional 10 people were hurt in Lancaster, south of Dallas, and three people in Arlington, west of Dallas. National Weather Service crews in Forney, east of Dallas, spotted storm damage that suggested the twister there was an EF3, with wind speeds as high as 165 mph. Other tornadoes in Arlington and Lancaster appear to have been EF2 tornadoes, with wind speeds up to 135 mph. Tornadoes can range from EF0, the weakest, to EF5, the strongest. An EF2 or higher is considered a significant tornado. A twister can hit one spot and continue for miles before touching down again, Moore said. Its difficult to explain why a tornado touches down when it does. It can destroy one house and the one across the street is fine. It can go back up for a mile or two and drop back down, Moore said. Thats all the crazy things that can happen with tornadoes. Randy McKeever and his wife and several of their friends sorted through what was left of their house Wednesday. Their roof was completely gone. The front yard was littered with shingles and pieces of wood. Inside was a jumble of belongings. McKeever, 47, wore work gloves as he tried to find anything that could be salvaged. Theres a bunch of stuff in there thats not even ours, he said. Stunning video from Dallas showed big-rig trailers tossed into the air and spiraling like footballs. An entire wing of an Arlington nursing home crumbled. In

Lancaster, dozens of young children cowered in the safe room of a day care near a local church. The storm pulled one of the walls back like you were peeling an orange, day care director Danita Harris said. The students were moved further indoors and rode out the rest of the storm safely, she said. Not one Band-Aid had to be applied, Harris said. Hundreds of flights into and out of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field were canceled or diverted elsewhere Tuesday. American Airlines, which operates most flights at the airport, said it canceled more than 400 flights Wednesday after stopping about 800 Tuesday. An airport spokesman said more than 110 planes were damaged by hail. April is typically the worst month in a tornado season that stretches from March to June, but Tuesdays outburst suggests that were on pace to be above normal, said National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Bishop. Gov. Rick Perry plans an aerial tour of the damage on Thursday.

Junior infielder Kevin Kuntz loses his glove as he runs into senior infielder Zac elgie and gets tangled up as they both run to catch a foul ball during Tuesday evenings game against Creighton at the TD ameritrade Park in omaha Neb. where the Jayhawks lost 3-7. Kuntz said. Its all about reps. The more reps you can do, the more comfortable you are. With a team that features 15 players in their first year of eligibility, mistakes will happen in the field. The players and coaches said its important to move on from the mistakes and to learn from them. One of the things we preach to our players when you make a bad play is: Live for the opportunity to redeem yourself, Price said. Price said he left the Tuesdays game in Omaha, Neb., upset with how his team played in every aspect. But Price knows that in baseball mistakes will happen, but mature players will figure out away to pick themselves and their team up later in the game. The Jayhawks

Posey hits first RbI More than one star at Masters at park since injury
associaTEd prEss associaTEd prEss
SAN FRANCISCO Josh Donaldson started to show signs in the final exhibition that he might be a reliable replacement to Scott Sizemore, after all. Donaldson hit two homers and drove in five runs off Yusmeiro Petit, and the Oakland Athletics avoided a Bay Bridge Series sweep with an 8-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. Sizemore tore a ligament in his left knee during Oaklands first fullsquad workout this spring training, ending his season and thrusting Donaldson into the starting third baseman spot before a game had been played. Donaldson finished 4 for 5 in the finale, pushing his batting average up to .270. An otherwise quiet ending for San Francisco this spring training still had a bright spot. Buster Poster, receiving rousing ovations from fans every time his name was announced, cleared another milestone with an RBI single in the first. Both were firsts at AT&T Park for the 2010 NL Rookie of the Year since a brutal seasonending collision at home plate last year with Floridas Scott Cousins. Posey had been 0 for 2 with two walks in Monday nights exhibition in San Francisco. He also added a double in the fourth in the last spring training game. A sun-soaked day at San Franciscos cozy waterfront ballpark still belonged to an unproven slugger from across the bay. After a so-so spring training, Donaldson smacked a two-run shot to left in the second to put Oakland ahead 2-1. He followed with a three-run homer to deep left-center in the third off Petit for his only long balls this spring training. Donaldsons latest go-around in the Bay Area figures to last a little longer than his first. Originally a first-round draft pick of the Chicago Cubs, Donaldson was traded to Oakland in a deal for pitcher Rich Harden in 2008. AUGUSTA, Ga. Tiger Woods couldnt see the green through the trees, though that was only a minor obstacle. He choked up on a 5-wood and played a sweeping draw around the pines, over the water and onto the back of the green. As he approached the Sarazen Bridge to the 15th green Wednesday, the grandstand rumbled when fans suddenly rose in unison to see him walk by. Some of them held cameras as high as they could, clicked and hoped for the best. Woods is worth watching at the Masters for all the right reasons. All it took was one win at Bay Hill two weeks ago for Woods to even remotely resemble the guy who once dominated golf. He won by five shots, and, just like that, was elevated to the favorite at Augusta National. Everything is headed in the right direction at the right time, Woods said. But hes not the only star of this Masters. Rory McIlroy has all the traits of the heir apparent an easy swing that produces enormous power, a U.S. Open title at age 22, a tennis star for a girlfriend, and an engaging personality something that Woods is not. In his last 12 tournaments, McIlroy finished third or better eight times, including two wins and a brief stay at No. 1 in the world. Im in a great place, McIlroy said. I feel like my golf game is in great shape. There is so much anticipation about this clash of generations its as if they were the only two players competing for a green jacket, much like the days of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. Far from it. There probably hasnt been a Masters with more legitimate chances, Geoff Ogilvy said before heading out for a final practice round. I can understand people seeing this as a two-man race, but its never been further from the truth. There are more horses in this race than ever before. Luke Donald returned to No. 1 in the world three weeks ago by winning at Innisbrook. He is one of eight players among the top 20 in the world who have won this

year, a list that includes Woods and McIlroy, along with Hunter Mahan (twice), Steve Stricker, Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson, a threat at Augusta even when hes not playing well. And youve got a guy like Keegan Bradley, Ogilvy said, referring to the PGA champion who won the first major he ever played. Nobody ever talked about a Masters rookie with a chance. Theres more people in the conversation, isnt there? One conversation that was kept short Wednesday was Masters chairman Billy Payne refusing to discuss the all-male membership at Augusta National. The topic returned this year because IBM appointed Virginia Rometty its CEO, and the last four chief executives of Big Blue were invited to be members. All issues of membership are now and have been historically subject to the private deliberations of the members, Payne said.
He briefly played for the As in 2010 and hadnt done much since. Sizemore was acquired by Oakland last May in a trade with Detroit. He hit .249 with 11 home runs and 52 RBIs in 93 games with Oakland.

season. Johnson averaged 13.3 points in the NCAA Tournament, highlighted by his 18-point game against Purdue in the second round. Withey broke a Final Four single game record with seven blocks against Ohio State. Role players junior guard Travis Releford, junior forward Kevin Young and freshman guard Naadir Tharpe also return, as well as now-eligible freshmen Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor. The incoming recruiting class is highlighted by McDonalds All-
American forward and Wichita native Perry Ellis. Four-star forward Andrew White will complement Ben McLemore nicely on the wing, as both players are able to really knock down shots from the three-point range. Depth will never be an issue and Bill Self will probably go nine or 10 players deep in November and December as he tries to figure out his rotation. Theres also the fact that Kansas deep Tournament run is still fresh on everyones minds, only helping the Jayhawks stock in
these early rankings. A Final Four shouldnt be expected but a ninth consecutive Big 12 Championship is certainly within reach.
Junior forward Thomas Robinson was the only unanimous First-Team All-American and his replacement looks to be a true freshman. Perry Ellis will be good, but he wont be close to Thomas Robinsons numbers in his first
season. Jeff Withey looks to be great next season, but he might see his first double-teams as well. Robinson kept post defenders honest and Withey was able to get a lot of great looks at the basket off Robinson double-teams. Withey will be the first option down low and his offensive game will have to catch up to his defensive prowess if this run of great Kansas big men is set to continue. While Elijah Johnson was tremendous much of the last month, he wont have
a security blanket like Tyshawn Taylor next to him next season in the back court. Johnson will probably be teamed with Travis Releford and Ben McLemore, two talented but less than spectacular ball-handlers. Naadir Tharpe could be the first guard off the bench and his improvement this off-season could be crucial in how well the Jayhawks fend off pressure on the perimeter. edited by Amanda gage

Showalter announced that lefty Zach Phillips would be assigned to Norfolk, trimming the Baltimore roster to 25. Zach has pitched well, Showalter said. Last year we had so many injuries that we were just trying to put a pitching staff together. This year were sending guys to Triple-A who probably pitched well enough to make the team.

radition. Exclusive. Anxiety. Elation. Its tough to find stronger words to describe the Masters Tournament, which begins today at Augusta National in Georgia. But there is one more word that wraps up the tournament and the course into a nice little bow. Immaculate. When you turn on the Masters, I dare you to find anything out of place. The Loblolly pine needles raked nicely into piles around the towering trees, the fairway Bermuda grass and the greens are bent grass run together in beautiful correlation of exquisiteness. Raes Creek races straight through the back nine with blooming azaleas blossoming as the golfers walk toward the club house and the most honored jacket in the sport. Its a golfer paradise.

the South African with a calm demeanor managed to drop four birdies on the final four holes to win by two shots and posted a 66, the lowest round of the day. For me, as a enormous golf fan, it was the most fun I had watching a tournament since Tigers Nike swoosh chip in on the 16th hole of the 2005 tournament. This year on the PGA tour, theres also been a huge amount of drama. All the fan favorites notched victories under their belts: Tiger, Phil Mickelson and Rory. Hunter Mahan posted his second win
of the year last weekend at the Shell Houston Open. Theres been comebacks and big-time drama, but its not the same. Major championships are different. Not only are the golf fanatics focused on the tournament, but everyone that loves sports, especially that Tiger Woods is now a contender after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational two weeks ago, will have their eyes glued to the television on Sunday. For the first time in a long time, Woods looked in total control of all aspects of his game. His off the course issue are well documented, but with his personal life figured out, he finally looks ready to battle Rory McIlroy for golf supremacy. If you dont follow golf, you might be asking, who is Rory McIlroy? The 22-year-old baby faced, curly haired, Northern Ireland native has turned into the definition of a championship golfer. Hes got the swag down. His golf swing is fluid and powerful all at the
same time. He doesnt take practice strokes before making putts. And hes always has the same facial emotions no matter what. Composed and having a good time. Now after three years of waiting, it finally looks like Woods and McIlroy seem on a collision course for Sunday. But like most golf fans know, championship golf is much different than the normal tour. Tensions are higher. The crowds are quieter. And any sports fan will be on the edge of his or her seat watching one of the most difficult mental tests in sports. Because in reality its not Tiger versus Rory or anybody else. Its the golfer versus Augusta National. Edited by Pat Strathman

the Golden Hurricane to the NCAA Tournament in seven seasons at the helm. Manning would like to see that streak end right away. Its a process, and we understand that, Manning said. But were going to put our best foot forward, build and work every day, like I said. Hopefully when you count them up at the end, we have the right number to be there. Tulsa finished the 2011-12 season with a 17-14 record, and the Golden Hurricane did not make any postseason appearance. Manning is immediately faced with the task of bringing high-level talent to Tulsa. Manning said that he doesnt think name recognition would play any role in immediately attracting recruits, but it might be a way to start conversations. In his time at Kansas, Manning worked almost exclusively as a mentor to the big men, but he said that the Golden Hurricane will look to play an up-tempo, transition style of play. Were going to be respectful young men and humble, but hungry, Manning said Hungry to get better as young men and as individuals on the team committed to one goal, which is going out and representing TU to the highest honor that we can. Mannings departure from the Kansas coaching staff leaves Self with the task of finding a replacement, but the Kansas coach couldnt be happier for his longtime protg. Hell represent the school in a first-class way, Self said. Hell recruit good kids that can play and hell coach their tails off. Hell have Tulsa competing for championships in a very short time. I personally think it will be a great marriage for both parties. Edited by Christine Curtin
The University of Tulsa introduced former Kansas assistant coach Danny Manning as the programs 29th head coach on Wednesday. Manning first served as an assistant coach under Bill Self in 2007, and he will return to the program that Self took to the Elite Eight in 2000. Self s opinion of the Tulsa basketball program was a key factor in Mannings decision to leave Lawrence. The more I spoke with coach Self about the opportunity of coming to TU and being a part of this rich tradition, it became a nobrainer, Manning said. To get a job of this magnitude as my first job is unbelievable. When it came time for Tulsa athletic director Ross Parmley and the search committee to find a replacement for newly hired College of Charleston head coach Doug Wojcik, Mannings resume jumped out immediately. Mannings history and pedigree as a player made him a popular target for coaching jobs around the country, but Tulsa was ultimately the right fit. Since taking over a coaching role in 2007, Manning has coached five NBA forwards at Kansas with Thomas Robinson likely being his sixth. His 15 years in the NBA combined with the last nine years under one of the best coaches in the country have helped mold him into a great teacher and coach of basketball, Parmley said. He most definitely brings the excitement, the style of basketball and character that we were looking for in our head coach. Wojcik left Tulsa as the programs winningest coach with a 140-92 record, but he never took

Redshirt freshman defensive tackle Julius Green has been dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules. He was a first team all-district, all-area and all-city selection his senior year of high school. Green redshirted last season.
For the seasons third practice, the Jayhawks worked inside of Memorial Stadium. The move from the practice field was because the team hosted recruits on campus for Junior Day. The Saturday practice marked the first time the team practiced in full pads this spring and under coach Charlie Weis.
