Phone dead? No problem.
Charging stations were
installed on the Lawrence and
Edwards campus during winter
break. The installation was an
initiative of Student Senate and
KU Information Technology.
The project was one of 12 dif-
ferent items on KUniteds plat-
form this past year. Brandon
Woodard, student body vice
president, said that this project
was made a priority because the
idea came from the students.
You dont leave your phone
at home; everyone has a phone,
Woodard said.
Rachel Brasher, a senior from
Ozawkie, said she thinks the sta-
tions will be helpful for stu-
dents.
I know Im never respon-
sible about charging my phone,
Brasher said.
Robbie Bondi, a sophomore
from Leawood, said he wont
need to use the charging stations
because he charges his phone at
night.

So this is life in the Border Cold
War.
Te cloud of black and yellow
lifed from Lawrence only to reveal
gray skies. No enemy to fght, just
angry mobs with nothing to torch.
And looking to the west, citizens
of Manhattan have never attempted
a sneak attack on Lawrence.
Maybe that would spice up the
Kansas-Kansas State rivalry, but it
might be a tad dramatic. Instead
the University of Kansas is lef with
the Little Apple and a daunting
task: Commit to a rivalry that has
been one-sided since its inception.
Not that one institution has
dominated the other, but one
school only focused on its fellow
in-state competitor while the other
looked in the opposite direction for
a challenge.
Kansas has been Kansas States
rival since Ive been in the league,
Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price
said. Our rival has been Missouri.
Tats now being refocused.
Price echoes a rededication that
has been the focus of Kansas ath-
letics department since Missouris
departure from the Big 12, and its
one that began at the top.
It started with Sheahon Zenger,
Price said of Kansas Athletics Di-
rector. He has made it clear to
everyone who coaches, regardless
of the sport, that hes going to start
evaluating programs based on their
success against Kansas State.
When asked about this policy,
Zenger said programs are evaluat-
ed on conference competition, not
just defeating one school.
Either way, theres a school 80
miles down the road thats begin-
ning to receive a lot more atten-
tion from Kansas fans. And while
it has been more cordial in the past,
Wildcat fans have become a new
target for a fan base without its
natural rival.
I never felt that way against
K-State, Kansas mens basketball
coach Bill Self said of the Jayhawks
animosity for Missouri. I think
this will turn a little bit to become
more heated as we move forward.
For some Kansas programs, there
wont be much of a transition.
Te womens volleyball teams at
Kansas and K-State, for instance,
boast many players from within the
state. Tat adds to a match that Jay-
hawks coach Ray Bechard said has
always been important to the team.
Bechard said the familiarity of
in-state players intensifes the drive
to capture Kansas bragging rights.
But those other programs, the
ones that recruit more out-of-state
players, theyll be at the center of a
rivalry that has become more im-
portant with the absence of Mis-
souri.
You might have people that go
to a contest not because of the game
but because its K-State, Kansas
womens basketball coach Bonnie
Henrickson said. Maybe theyre
not a particular fan of any given
sport, but theyre a fan of booing
K-State.
Maybe, but maybe not. Zenger
said the Missouri and K-State ri-
valries have diferent geneses. Over
time they have evolved in diferent
ways.
Price will be combating that by
coaching his players to bring the
level of competitiveness the Jay-
hawks show against Missouri to all
games against K-State. Price knows
you cant replace Missouri, yet he
can change the way Jayhawk fans
look at K-State.
When youve coached at KU, re-
gardless of the sport, for 100 years
the rivalry has been frst and fore-
most about Missouri, Price said.
Now that theyve lef the Big 12
conference, I think youll see the
rivalry between KU and K-State
intensify.
It might take a while to get used
to, but purple is the new black.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary,
a message of equality and tolerance
rang through Strong Hall and the
Kansas Union yesterday to com-
memorate Martin Luther King Jr.
Day.
The Universitys celebration of
MLK stressed that his passionate
message is more than a historical
holiday, but is instead symbolic to
todays beliefs towards civil rights.
Distinguished English Professor
Maryemma Graham opened the
Universitys event by reading from
the Letter from Birmingham Jail.
To live in a society that is rela-
tively free of poverty, of social injus-
tice, of racial discrimination, weve
got a lot of work to do, Graham
said. We remember people who
gave their lives to that kind of
work.
Graham believes that Martin
Luther King Jr. Day and similar
events are about both looking at the
past and using that history to gauge
actions in the future. She hopes that
honoring Rev. Martin Luther King
Jr. will spark a discussion about
what his beliefs symbolize in the
21st century.
Are we the post-race genera-
tion? Graham said. Are we the
post-feminist generation? Are we
the post-you-name-it? Is all that
over and done with? We cant just
assume that everybody is on the
same page.
In years past, the University host-
ed a large celebration that would fill
the Lied Center. Fred Rodriguez,
vice provost for diversity and equity,
hoped that yesterdays celebration
would set a precedent for honoring
those social issues.
We want to start this tradition
again on campus, Rodriguez said.
After Grahams reading, orga-
nizers distributed candles, and
the crowd walked to a reception
and program at the Kansas Union.
Rodriguez expects attendees to ask
themselves who carries on as the
advocate for equality of opportu-
nity as the voice of Kings message
today.
Blane Harding, director of mul-
ticultural affairs, who gave the key-
note address, focused on the indi-
vidual and what every person must
do to live up to Kings dream.
Every single individual in soci-
ety has to be aware of the respon-
sibilities of moving us forward so
that we are equal, so that we are a
society devoid of racism or preju-
dice, Harding said. We do that
individually, we do that through
relationships we dont do that by
enacting laws.
Harding believes Kings message
of tolerance and fighting oppres-
sion transcends race and applies to
religion, gender, sexual orientation
and all other forms of prejudice.
Yesterdays program was intended
to spark a discussion and encourage
attendees to take personal responsi-
bility to create a tolerant society.
No ones going to make you go
to an event in black history month,
for example, Harding said. But
if you truly believe in the idea of
equality, you need to expand that
comfort zone so that you can meet
folks that you generally would not
meet.

After being on hiatus for more
than a month, the investigation
into Beta Theta Pis alleged ani-
mal cruelty is set to resume with
the start of the semester. Police
inquiry into the matter has tem-
porarily been on hold because
some of the students involved
have been out of Lawrence due
to winter break.
In December, The Kansas
City Star, Lawrence Journal-
World, and The Huffington
Post reported that a turkey was
abused and killed at the fra-
ternitys annual Turkey Pull
party on the Friday after finals
week.
Those people that were
really involved in the major-
ity of it, I dont think weve
had any contact with yet, said
Trent McKinley, public affairs
sergeant for the Lawrence Police
Department. We still would
like to talk to anyone thats will-
ing to visit with us about what
they saw and maybe who they
think is responsible.
McKinley said alcohol
was involved in the incident.
However, McKinley was uncer-
tain of what kind of animal
cruelty charges, if any, would
be filed. The charges can range
from a misdemeanor to felony
offenses. Although no arrests
have been made, McKinley said
a report would most likely be
filed to the district attorneys
office within 30 days.
Just because class starts on
Tuesday doesnt mean everyone
is going to have time to visit with
us first thing Tuesday morning,
McKinley said. This isnt a mat-
ter of rounding people up.
University spokesperson Jill
Jess said the university expects
anyone with information about
this incident to cooperate fully.
Behavior such as that report-
ed is reprehensible and is not
what KU would expect from its
students, Jess said.

Board of Regents updates
college admission standards
Prospective students will
have to step up academically if
they want to be admitted to the
University of Kansas.
For the high school classes of
2013 and 2014, these prospective
students will have to meet the
current admission requirements.
Starting in the fall of 2015,
incoming freshmen must meet
requirements that the Kansas
Board of Regents has set in place
for public colleges across the
state.
For Kansans, incoming fresh-
men must complete the Kansas
Qualified Admissions (QA) cur-
riculum, have a 2.0 GPA and at
least a 21 ACT score, or rank in
the top third of their graduating
class. Out of state students must
have a 2.5 GPA and a 24 on their
ACT or rank in the top third of
their graduating class.
The University wants to take
these requirements a step higher
as a part of the Bold Aspirations
initiative. For Kansas high
school students graduating in
2016 who hope to attend the
University, they must complete
the QA curriculum with a 2.0
GPA, and have a 3.0 overall GPA
and a 24 ACT score or a 3.25
overall GPA and a 21 ACT score.
Non-residents must complete
the QA curriculum with a 2.5
GPA, and have a 3.0 overall GPA
and a 24 ACT score or a 3.25
overall GPA and a 21 ACT score.
Lisa Pinamonti, director of
admissions at the University, said
the whole goal of Bold Aspirations
is to assert the University as the
established research university it
is.
We are the flagship university,
and the academic requirement at
KU doesnt measure the admis-
sions, Pinamonti said.
The first-year retention rate
of freshmen in 2010 was nearly
80 percent, meaning that of the
3,491 students who were fresh-
men in the fall, only 2,790 came
back for their sophomore years
a loss of 701 students.
Weve been working with
high school counselors, and the
feedback we are getting from
counselors and students is that
they say its important we are
doing this, Pinamonti
said. But some students are wary
about taking four years of high
school math.
The acceptance rate in 2010
for KU was 93 percent, and
Pinamonti hopes it will remain
high.
We want to get students
excited about not everyone get-
ting in, Pinamonti said. Were
getting the message out to high
school students to better prepare
for college and know the impor-
tance of being prepared.

project, it worked with KUnited
to ensure that 15 charging sta-
tions would be installed by the
beginning of the spring 2013
semester. Currently, there are
14 on the Lawrence campus and
one on the Edwards campus,
and five more stations will be
installed at either location dur-
ing the semester, depending on
students suggestions.
Each charging unit costs
about $300, and the project
costs a total of $6,000. Anne
Madden Johnson, manager
for Client Consulting at KU
IT, said IT employees look
for more ways to provide new
services directly to students,
and the charging stations are
an inexpensive way to get stu-
dents something they wanted.
Everyone lives and dies
with their device anymore,
Johnson said.
Each charging station is
mounted on the wall and
includes eight different charg-
ing cords, including two
iPhone compatible cords, one
iPhone 5 cord, two Blackberry
cords and three Samsung and
Android compatible cords.
Students, faculty and staff
may use the charging stations
at any time for free. There is
a tray at the bottom of the
charging station that will hold
the device while it is being
charged. The tray is not sturdy
enough to hold a laptop, but it
can support an iPad or any other
tablet.
KU IT is working with stu-
dent leaders and taking sugges-
tions for improvements for the
remaining five stations. Ideas
may be posted on its Facebook
page at facebook.com/kutech-

Te timbre of the fute cadenza
at the end of Symphonic Sketches
from Leonard Bernsteins West Side
Story gave pre-pharmacy major
Connor Bowman a sense of warmth
whenever he heard it played by the
KU Symphonic Orchestra (KUSO)
in Lawrence or Kansas City, Mo.
Te cadenza signaled the
death of Tony, the Romeo-esque
protagonist in the Shakespeare-
inspired musical, afer he was shot
realizing his love, Maria, was still
alive. Bowman, a sophomore from
Lenexa, listened to this not from the
audience, but from the stage as the
principal futist in the orchestra.
Im the only one playing, and
that feeling is really cool, said
Bowman, who is also working
toward a music minor. Teres
a moment when it resonated
throughout the hall. I just stopped
to take it in: embodying death in
front of the audience.
Its not very common to have
a non-music major play a solo
or serve as the leader of an
instrumental section in an audition
ensemble at the University. In fact,
less than 10 percent of the KU
audition ensembles are non-music
majors.
Te audition process is the
same process during the frst week
of class, said David Neely, the
director of orchestral activities.
Music majors are required to be in
one of the ensembles, but you dont
need to be a music major to be a
part of it. Its a matter of passing the
audition.
Neely said KUSO has a heavy
practice workload and that the
music and class is geared toward
music majors. However, auditions
are blind and seating is decided
by the quality of the auditions.
By achieving the principal seat,
Bowman said the judges thought
he played the best fute audition.
It could mean that we dont feel
the same pressure as music majors,
Bowman said. Were doing it for
enjoyment, and we do it because its
something that we love to do.
BAnd for non-mAjors
Sharon Toulouse, assistant
director of bands, said some
music students also play in
multiple ensembles with primary
and secondary instruments.
Band has two ensembles that are
audition-only: Wind Ensemble
and Symphonic Band. Tose
two also have blind auditions.
We dont care if you are a
music major or not, Toulouse
said. Even if that doesnt work,
theres the opportunity to be in
University Band.
Tis is a no-audition, sign-up
ensemble that performs once
every semester. Music majors
only fll fve to 10 percent of the
University Band seats. Te Kansas
Marching Band is also a non-
audition group.
Its not about what your major
is, its about do you love playing,
Toulouse said.
Holly Good, a sophomore in
chemistry from Shawnee still feels
nostalgic for her time playing fute
and piccolo in high school, but now
plays in University Band.
I miss playing in a group, Good
said. Tis is just an hour once a
week, not a big time commitment.
She took University Band for no
credit because to her, it was fun and
relaxing.
Sometimes Im stressed out
when I come in, but it takes your
mind of things, Good said.
Parker Riley, a freshman in
computer science, plays saxophone
in University Band.
Ive played for eight years, and I
wanted to keep playing, Riley said.
I knew it just wouldnt overload
my schedule. I havent had to
practice too much for this music. I
just enjoy it.
non-mAjor orchestrA on
horizon
Nothing is ofcial yet, but
Neely said there could be more
opportunities for non-music
majors who want to join orchestra
in the future.
One of the things were looking
at are options for some kinds of
ensembles for non-major students,
Neely said.
Right now, KUSO is the only
departmental orchestra ensemble.
It would probably be good,
Bowman said. I dont know if it
would get people to go to more
lessons and things like that. But I
think its a good idea.

Welcome back to campus, Jayhawks!
There are only 39 days of classes left
until spring break and 73 days of
classes left until Stop Day.

pOLicE REpORTS

Students returning from winter

break will be greeted by a more
beautiful Wescoe Beach. Several
trees were planted in front of the
remodeled terrace Wednesday as
part of Student Senates Wescoe
Beach Renovation Project.
This is the final segment of the
$250,000 initiative, which included
the installation of 12 seat-walls,
LED lighting and 10 electrical out-
lets on Wescoe Beach last semester.
There will be 12 trees total, with a
few held back at the moment for
trimming and other preparations.
The trees were originally slated
for planting early last semester, but
plans were delayed due to unsea-
sonably warm weather conditions,
said Allison Gerth, a planning
and landscape architecture assis-
tant with the Office of Design and
Construction Management.
They have to be dug up from
the nursery when theyre dormant
before theyre transplanted to their
new location, Gerth said. It limits
the shock on the tree.
Gerth said the thornless honey
locusts and giant elms will start
showing more green foliage later
this spring.

T
he previous three weeks
left ten murdered and
three wounded, but no
gunshots were fired on Oct. 23,
2002. It was just my ninth birth-
day. I lived in Centreville, Va.,
where a 20-mile ride down the
Beltway led to the nations capi-
tal. And there, in the suburbs of
freedom, I learned fear. But no
one died on my ninth birthday
there was only a message released
by the Chief of Police on behalf
of the Beltway sniper.
It felt like I had aged far
beyond the candles on my cake
let on. I couldnt play freeze tag
outside with my friends or roller-
blade down the block. Field trips
were cancelled, my soccer season
was cancelled, Halloween was
cancelled. My whole world was
being held at gunpoint, and we
were giving in to every demand.
There were new procedures, new
restrictions, new ways of life. We
had to be prepared because we
werent safe anywhere.
The news anchors called him
the Beltway sniper, but we didnt
know if it was one man or 20.
One day, someone was shot at
a Shell gas station in Maryland.
Another day, it was a woman
in the parking lot of my local
Home Depot. Anyone could have
bought that gun. Anyone could
have been the killer. Anyone
could have been the woman lying
dead on a gravel parking lot.
Anyone could have been the hus-
band weeping over bloodstained
grocery bags and his best friends
lifeless corpse. But the sniper had
a right to own his gun; no one
could deny that.
Within a few weeks, I went
from believing in Santa to barely
believing in God. I learned that
my dad wasnt really a superhero
he waited in his car until the
D.C. transit bus arrived every
day instead of standing at the
stop like a sitting duck. I stopped
thinking I had a safe learning
environment after a 13-year-old
boy was shot and killed enter-
ing his middle school. I grew up
too fast. And at the same time, I
know there will always be a part
of me that wont ever grow up;
a part that will wish my parents
could always be there to check
for the monsters under my bed,
and to protect me from the ones
in the movie theatres and the
elementary schools and the shop-
ping malls and the beltways.
But as a country, we learned
to be safer so that we could
accommodate their rights.
We put metal detectors in our
schools and made Code Red
drills and lockdowns as rou-
tine as saying the Pledge of
Allegiance. And I learned to deal
with it, too. I stopped sleeping, so
I could always be alert. I stopped
trusting people. I tried my hard-
est to block out a few years of
my childhood. And now I see
a therapist to work through my
problems. Insomnia. Anxiety.
Depression.
Its been over ten years since
my town came under attack,
but the story repeats itself every
day. And every day, there are
new victims, and not just the
ones in the caskets. There are
kids in Newtown who saw their
playmates die and still have to
go back to school, and parents
who have to let them. There are
teenagers in Overland Park who
will be afraid to go outside when
concealed carry laws pass. There
are amendments for gun owner-
ship, but none for mental health,
happiness and comfort. And so
Ill make each day a little safer, as
a slave to my fear and a slave to
my freedom.

I
f youre relatively up to
date on things that dont
matter, you know about the
photos of Justin Bieber alleg-
edly smoking marijuana and
the nonsensical blathering that
quickly followed in the media.
When the ethical journalism
pioneers at TMZ broke the
story a few weeks ago, a gaggle
of internet trolls started the hor-
rendous #cutforbieber trend
on Twitter, posing as dedicated
beliebers vowing to employ
self-harm in protest of the pop
stars supposed affinity for
smoking weed. This turned an
otherwise unsurprising photo
leak a child star doing drugs,
whodathunk it? into a world-
wide debacle that had world
leaders and CEOs lying sleepless
in bed each night for weeks.
Now, to be fair, there really
hasnt been any solid confir-
mation that Bieber was actu-
ally getting high or, in other
words, coughing uncontrollably
because its his first time on
the evening the photos were
taken. But the slow-burning
object stowed between his fin-
gers looks like a blunt, which
just so happens to be rolled
appropriately thin enough for a
pop star sporting a pompadour
haircut.
Thats sufficient evidence
for most people who feel as if
theyre obligated to offer up
nuggets of sage-like advice,
such as Stop hanging out with
those guys in the flat-billed
hats, and Go to rehab. Most
of them offer it with the best of
intentions: They want Biebs
to continue being a good role
model, which one apparently
can accomplish by writing songs
for seventh graders to awkward-
ly grind dance to in dimly-lit
basements. They want Bieber to
stay focused on his hits the
ones involving pop charts, not
a bong.
Thats good advice, really.
However, if Bieber liked listen-
ing to good advice, he probably
wouldnt have sparked up a J
while some random groupie
with a phone started snapping
pictures right in front of his
face. Nonetheless, he still prob-
ably needs some advice on how
to move on, but dont bank on
him opting for the good advice.
So, in case he needs it, heres
some bad advice: Why not use
this situation as a stepping stone
into the lazy, yet lucrative genre
of modern stoner music?
It shouldnt be a hard transi-
tion, which is ideal if youre
going to be getting baked all
day, anyway. They dont make
the stoner-favorites like they
used to; you used to have to be
musically talented and innova-
tive like Grateful Dead, Sublime,
Cypress Hill and other stoner-
music pioneers. Nowadays, all
you really have to do is latch
onto the coattails of the suc-
cessful artists who came before
you and essentially do whatever
they did, but with different lyr-
ics. You want to try your hand
at todays stoner rap, Biebs? As
long as you mention that youre
stoney baloney once every two
sentences, you can get away
with rapping about the debt
ceiling and high schoolers will
still hotbox their 96 Camrys to
it every day. Your stellar record
sales wont miss a beat.
The persona of a stoner music
sensation is a lot less complex
these days, too. Take a bunch
of black-and-white photos with
a stare that says Im rich, bro,
while a robust, mushroom-
shaped plume of smoke bil-
lows slowly from your lips like
youre Notorious B.I.G. Then,
start performing at Bonnaroo
each year and make sure you
get charged with marijuana
possession at least once a year
apparently, if youre not on
probation these days, youre not
a legit stoner rapper.
The only real way that can
go wrong is if you violate your
probation and have to do a
few months in prison. Youre a
celebrity, though, and they cant
really throw you in with the rest
of the ruffians, so it should be
a cakewalk. When a reporter
comes to interview you, just
say youre working on a new
record and itll automatically
become the most anticipated
record of the year. Worked for
Lil Wayne; his first post-prison
album in 2010 was garbage, yet
he still cashed in.
Your new fans wont forget
about you, either. #FreeBieber
will probably trend on Twitter
every day until your release, and
believe me, thats a far better
hashtag than #cutforbieber.

H
eroes are crashing before
us. In less than a week, we
found the celebration sur-
rounding Notre Dame linebacker
a hoax and the acclaim surround-
ing 7-time Tour de France winner
Lance Armstrong a fraud.
Teo should be fne intelli-
gence is not a prerequisite for play-
ing linebacker in the NFL. In fact,
with the controversy surrounding
head trauma in football, maybe less
brainpower is better.
Armstrong faces a steep climb,
steeper than the French Alps he
ascended while racing. I admired
Armstrong when he raced. And I
admire him for his public confes-
sion.
I cannot imagine a more bor-
ing sport to watch on television
than cycling, but during his string
of victories I tuned-in to watch the
Tour de France, if only for a few
minutes.
In 2001, I watched some of the
race and witnessed a moment in
sports I will never forget. Arm-
strong led the race with Jan Ullrich
closely behind. As they climbed the
mountainous terrain, Ullrich took
a nasty spill of the side. Instead
of increasing his lead, Armstrong
dismounted his bike and waited for
Ullrich to recover and rejoin the
race. Te spectacle gave me chills;
I had never seen sportsmanship so
precisely displayed.
I dont question Armstrong the
athlete. Doping is not a secret in
cycling. Its not part of the culture;
it is the culture. I wonder about
Armstrong the human. Arm-
strongs transgression was not dop-
ing. Armstrongs greatest crime is
the lies he told to cover his darkest
secret. Now he must make amends
for the lives he destroyed in the
wake of his deception.
Now that Armstrong confessed,
however, we can no longer vilify
him. Tats how it works. When
one seeks forgiveness, the proper
protocol is to forgive. Granted,
Armstrong must heed important
stipulations: when one seeks for-
giveness, one must commit himself
to righting his wrong. An apology,
or confession, is not simply saying,
Im sorry. Its about changing ones
behavior and lessening the damage
done.
I am confdent Armstrong will
do this. Te magnitude of his con-
fession leaves no other option.
Vilifying Armstrong is symp-
tomatic of something more. Many
feel let down, even betrayed, when
athletes, celebrities, or politicians
transgress a storyline we ourselves
weave (often with the help of the
media). Some people protest that
these groups should not be seen as
heroes in the first place. Instead,
some argue, we should look to
history, religion and education
to find true heroes, like Martin
Luther King Jr., Neil deGrasse
Tyson and Jesus.
I say we choose none of the
above as heroes. Instead, we look
to ourselves and be our own he-
roes.
Finding inspiration in others is
part of life. Revering and placing
them on pedestal is not. Humans
are perfectly imperfect. And no
one will ever have the power to save
you. Only you can do that. In the
great dream of life, we must write
our own story and play the lead
character.
Dont look to others to pave your
way. Pave your own way. Others
will join you on your path. If some-
one wants to divert you, they were
not meant for your journey.

One of the best things about
fashion is the ability to experiment
with clothing. Several people may
purchase the same item, and yet
they may all wear it completely
differently. Those differences are
what style is all about.
Despite varieties in personal
style, there is certainly one article
of clothing that I believe all
women should own. Its flattering
for any body type, can be worn
in an infinite amount of ways,
can be purchased at an array of
prices and is appropriate for an
endless amount of events. What
is this mystery piece, you ask?
A pair of good jeans, maybe,
or perhaps a nice pair of black
pumps? While those are very
good guesses and should
also be closet staples my
first and foremost must-have
item is a classic black blazer.
A blazer? How boring, you
say. But you are so wrong.
A black blazer is the most
versatile article of clothing
so far in existence even
better than a pair of perfect
fitting jeans. Where jeans
are inappropriately casual, a
blazer is not. And you may
be incorrectly convinced that
a blazer is too fancy for
places where jeans would
come in handy, but with
the right technique, it can
be worn anywhere.
My favorite way
to blaze, if you will, is
oversized with a mini
skirt or short shorts
hiding beneath. The
jacket is always a tad
longer than whats
under it, and a blouse is
buttoned all the way to
the top to balance out
showing off the leg. A
small clutch and heel and its
weekend perfection.
Blazers are so crucial
right now, that even the
latest Glamour magazine
gave them a shout out. The
scoop: Each body type has
a special blazer shaped
for them. For flat-chested
girls, aim for a blazer with
a structured shoulder.
Feminine detailed jackets
work best for those with
broad shoulders, and longer
blazers look best on petite
gals who lack in the height
department. There are so
many shapes, patterns and
colors to choose from.
This closet
must-have goes for men, too. The
hoodie-blazer combo is totally
unisex friendly, though I wouldnt
say the same for the high-waisted
skirt and blouse sequence.

proves that blazers dont always
have to be business friendly. this

for an intern shift, or a swipe of lipstick
could make this a date-night ensemble.

If one genre reigns supreme in
2013, it will be the science fiction
film. Sci-fi flicks are in high supply
this year, from original, promi-
nently effects-powered stories to
several thought-provoking block-
busters that have strong chances
for awards season. Here are a few
you wont want to miss:
ObliviOn April 19
Co-writer/director Joseph
Kosinski constructed one of the
most visually satisfying and flat-
out cool sci-fi action films in recent
memory with TRON: Legacy.
In his sophomore effort, he takes
on an original concept involving
a human-evacuated Earth. Tom
Cruise stars as one of the planets
last drone repairmen who discov-
ers an underground group of sur-
vivors as well as a much greater
threat. I cant promise an overly
unique story, but it will certainly
be a grand feast for the eyes.
StAr trek intO DArkneSS
MAy 17
Theres a reason FX plays the
Star Trek reboot all the time: Its
so perfectly entertaining that it
never gets old. The only aspect lack-
ing a bit is the villain. This seems
resolved in the sequel, as British
badass Benedict Cumberbatch
plays a dastardly opponent whos
destroying Starfleet from with-
in, leading Captain Kirk and the
Enterprise crew on an epic fight
for retribution. With J.J. Abrams at
the helm again, this should be even
more dazzling than the first one.
The final frontier never looked so
promising.
pAcific riM July 12
Creature master Guillermo del
Toro returns to the directors chair
with a project of enormous scope
and the simplest categorization:
giant monster movie. Better yet, its
exactly the kind your inner-child
has been dying to see ever since
you stopped watching Godzilla
films: humongous robots vs. gar-
gantuan monsters. Seriously, whats
not to like? Even if that sounds silly,
del Toro is an excellent filmmaker
whos guaranteed to turn this guilty
pleasure premise into a righteously
awesome spectacle.

South African wnderkind
Neill Blomkamp surprised every-
one with his mind-blowing debut,
District 9, creating one of the
most unique, meaningful and vis-
ceral sci-fi movies ever made. Well,
imagine that on steroids with a
dystopian future instead of aliens
and youve got his follow-up,
Elysium. Matt Damon stars as a
man outfitted in crazy high-tech
weaponry on a mission to equalize
the playing field between the poor,
living on a desolate Earth, and
the rich, living on a perfect-world
space station. Expect one intensely
kick-ass ride.

Early test screening reports indi-
cate that this simple yet powerful
story of two astronauts (Sandra

short flms shine on monday
at sundance film festival
mccLAtchY-tRIbUNE
Think of the Sundance Film
Festivals shorts program as a
glimpse into the future of movies.
Trevor Groth, director of
programming for the festival,
knows the crystal-ball aspects
of Sundances shorts firsthand.
He remembers the years both
Andersons work surfaced in the
pile of submissions. It still gives
him chills. Watching, you can
feel the future that is going to
unfold in front of them, Groth
says. From the beginning their
voices were that distinctive.
Though you never know how
fate, or fickle audiences, will favor
them, the shorts filmmakers at
Sundance this year are an eclectic
international bunch whose work
carries that sweet sense of dis-
covery. The programming teams
mantra show us something weve
never seen before has resulted
in a creative canvas of 65 shorts
infused with an irrepressible
sense of invention that is infec-
tious to watch.
Groth, who began his Sundance
career 20 years ago by helping
program shorts, will never forget
the moment when a studio exec
passed along an underground
video whose irreverent dark
humor and inherent weirdness
just spoke to him. Called The
Spirit of Christmas, it was by a
couple of unknowns Matt Stone
and Trey Parker before South
Park. Groth tracked down Stone
and Parker, nabbed their film for
the festival, and says it still stands
for him as a classic example of
how you can find the purest of
cinema in shorts there is no need
to compromise.
Its easy to shortchange shorts
as merely stepping stones to the
real deal feature-length films. But
just as a short story is not a novel
with fewer pages, a short film is its
own beast. A great one requires a
rigorous discipline in storytell-
ing, masterful editing and a clear
understanding of what exactly
you are trying to say. An inspired
idea doesnt hurt either.
This is why Groth loves to see
established filmmakers like Todd
Haynes and Neil LaBute come
back to the form again and again.
LaBute, for example, is credited
with writing three shorts in 2012,
directing one, and contributing
a segment to last years Stars in
Shorts, which is exactly what the
title suggests all that while work-
ing on three feature films in vari-
ous stages of production.
Whether 2013 will uncover
any filmmakers, it certainly has
its share of wonderfully weird
shorts.
Among my early favorites is the
existential animation piece Oh
Willy ... from Belgiums Marc
James Roels and Emma De Swaef.
It unfolds during Willys return to
his most elemental self, specifical-
ly the nudist camp where he was
raised. The stuffed-cloth char-
acters, constructed out of what
looks to be flesh-colored felt, tell a
modern-day story about mortal-
ity and the measure of a life. Its a
quirky yet emotional piece about
a savage more pudgy than noble,
his bumbling indecision remark-
ably captured in meticulous stop-
motion.
Two other animation pieces
that caught my eye Seraph and
Thank You could not be more
different in style or tone. Both
take provocative cuts at the ways
in which love leaves its mark:
a graphically rendered gay teen
who carves eyes into everything,
including flesh, and a snowman
whose heart literally melts for a
fire-tinged puppy.
Sundances short shorts and
long shorts range from a few min-
utes to nearly 50; the average is
closer to 15. With so little time to
play with, a filmmaker cant afford
to squander a second, much less
a minute.

turns up in museums around
the world, the film is a wildly
provocative meta meditation on
media, monkeys and humans
dressed as monkeys. Essentially
a soap opera about the social
dynamics of chimpanzees, it was
made for chimp consumption and
played to the primate inhabitants
of Scotlands Edinburgh Zoo on
TVs scattered around their space.
It is strangely funny, yet absorb-
ing to watch them watch and like
so many of the shorts, leaves you
pondering the implications long
after.
That audiences are increasingly
open to embracing six minutes
of weird, as Sundances current
shorts programmer Jon Korn puts
it, is one of the more gratify-
ing shifts he and co-programmer
Mike Plante have seen take place.
There are fewer shorts as calling
cards from feature director hope-
fuls and more making the most
of a few minutes in the entries
the two personally screened dur-
ing the selection process this year
roughly 3,000 between them, a
record 8,127 submissions in all
screened by the team of eight.
Sundances democratic process
helps, literally anyone, can submit
a short for festival consideration.
And then there are the doc-
umentaries, typically the lon-
gest of the shorts, often close to
the 50-minute cutoff. Among
the standouts is Outlawed in
Pakistan, tracing one girls fight
against the rape that brought her,
not her attackers, a death sentence
by tribal elders.
The shorts are, quite simply,
seductive; even the ones that dont
hit all the right notes are intrigu-
ing. As Korn says, Its great to
see something on its way to being
something special.

Te Kansas cheerleading squad
placed sixth on Sunday during the
Universal Cheerleaders Association
Championship in Orlando, Fla.
Te Jayhawks improved this
year afer fnishing 10th in last
years competition. Te cheerlead-
ing squads two-and-a-half minute
routine included two music por-
tions and a cheer.
We were very excited, said se-
nior Jordan Snyder. Tis is a big
improvement from last year. We
were proud of our performance
and we were happy with how we
were placed.
Te cheerleading squad was .7
points short of earning a spot in the
top fve, which was the expectation
from head coach Corey Stone and
assistant coach Nami Stone.
Our long-term goal for the pro-
gram is to really be in the top three
consistently and in the top tier of
teams, Corey said. We didnt quite
get that, but we were close. Tere
were a lot of people who afer the
competition told us that they re-
ally liked our routine and were sur-
prised we didnt place even a little
higher. Tat made us feel good that
we are getting close to where we
want to be in the top tier of teams.
Despite being the head coach,
Corey credited his wife, Nami, for
the teams success as it prepared for
the UCA competition.
Shes the one who really does
coaching the national squad the
most, Corey said. Shes at all
the practices, and she talks to the
squads the most aferward.
Te Rock Chalk Dancers also
made some noise in Orlando dur-
ing the Universal Dance Associa-
tion this past weekend. Te dance
team fnished ninth in the hip-
hop category among all Division I
schools.
Afer a two-year hiatus, the
dance team returned to the UDA
competition under frst-year coach
Raquel Tomas. Tomas was hop-
ing her team could also place in
the top fve, but was excited to help
Kansas make its return and com-
pete in fnals.
Te University was one of 56
schools that competed in last week-
ends national competition.

Travis Releford racked his brain,
trying to recall the best sign hes
seen at Bramlage Coliseum in his
four years at Kansas.
He had to give up.
Teres so many, Releford said.
I cant even name one.
Now in his ffh and fnal year of
eligibility, Releford has the privi-
lege of being subjected to one more
night of clever signs when the No. 3
Jayhawks face No. 11 Kansas State
in Manhattan at 7 p.m.
He said the K-State game is just
another game on his teams sched-
ule, as they try to win a ninth con-
secutive Big 12 title. But he did
concede that the fans and
media infate the games
importance.
Releford and the Jay-
hawks three other se-
nior starters should be
comfortable handling
the pressure of playing a
game that fans on both
sides of the rivalry now
view as Te Game.
But it will be a new experience
for one of Kansas most impor-
tant players redshirt freshman
Ben McLemore. Releford said
the upperclassmen take it upon
themselves to get McLemore and
the other Kansas rookies
prepared for the environ-
ment.
First, we tell the fresh-
men how crazy its going
to be and to just not let the
fans get to you, Releford
said. Its going to be the
next best environment
to ours. Be expecting all
types of crazy chants; their
crowd really getting into it.
In past years, Kansas fans tended
to view K-State as the annoying
little brother while focusing the
majority of their attention to the
other side of the border and the
Missouri Tigers. With the Tigers
departure to the SEC, Kansas coach
Bill Self said K-State takes over the
role Missouri lef.
But the two rivalries have a vastly
diferent feel to him.
K-States always been the rival,
but I think it was more of a respect
rivalry than what Missouris was,
because I think on both sides of the
Missouri rivalry, there was a lot of
hatred that was involved, Self said.
I think this will turn a little bit to
become more heated as we move
forward because we dont have the
Tigers around, and they dont have
the Tigers around.
Te fact that the Wildcats enter
tonights matchup ranked No. 11 in
the country adds fuel to the rivalrys
growing fre. Its the third time in
the past four years both programs
entered the game ranked. For Self,
thats a good thing.
I dont mind our league being
good, and I certainly dont mind K-
State being good, Self said. I would
much rather play a K-State team
thats ranked high than not play a
K-State team that isnt ranked.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. C.J. Fair
tipped in the go-ahead basket with
19.4 seconds lef and No. 3 Syra-
cuse pushed past No. 21 Cincinnati
to win 57-55 on Monday.
Trailing by seven with just over
5 minutes lef, Syracuse tied it at
55 on Michael Carter-Williams
3-pointer from the top of the key
with 80 seconds lef.
Fairs tip came afer Jerami Grant
drove the lane and missed. Cincin-
natis Cashmere Wright missed a 3
from straight on with 2.9 seconds
lef and the Orange had their 35th
straight win at home, the longest
active streak in Division I.
Te Orange outscored the
Bearcats 13-4 in the fnal minutes.
Fair fnished with 13 points.
Syracuse (18-1, 6-0 Big East) was
coming of a 70-68 win at Louisville
on Saturday that knocked the Car-
dinals out of the No. 1 spot in the
nation. Te Orange, tied for third
in the rankings with Kansas, are
the only Big East team with an un-
blemished conference record.
Syracuse is 28-1 in regular-sea-
son play in the Big East in the past
two years, that lone loss coming at
Notre Dame exactly one year ago
Monday.
Te Bearcats (16-4, 4-3 Big East)
had won three in a row. Tey lost
on the road for the frst time in
eight games.
Carter-Williams had 16 points
and seven assists and Brandon
Triche had 13 points for the Or-
ange.
Wright, who sprained his right
knee Tuesday in a win over DeP-
aul and did not play in Cincinnatis
overtime victory against Marquette
on Saturday, fnished with fve
points on 2-for-13 shooting. He
was 1 of 8 on 3s.
Sean Kilpatrick led Cincinnati
with 21 points and JaQuon Parker
had 11.
Syracuses James Southerland,
tied for second on the team in scor-
ing at 13.6 points per game, missed
his third straight game because of
an eligibility issue. He was in street
clothes on the bench.
Cincinnati played the shot-clock
game with its deliberate half-court
approach and kept the game close
despite a poor shooting perfor-
mance in the opening half.
Trailing by just a basket at the
break, the Bearcats started the
second with a 12-2 spurt keyed by
consecutive 3-pointers from Parker
when he was lef unguarded in the
right corner.
A high-arcing 3 by Kilpatrick
was the fourth make in fve tries
from long range for the Bearcats
and gave them a 36-29 lead with
13:46 lef.
Carter-Williams responded with
seven straight points, his 3 from the
top of the key making it 36-all mid-
way through the half.
Undaunted, the Bearcats kept
charging, and Kilpatricks sixth
3-pointer of the game and a layup
by Cheikh Mbodj completed an
11-4 spurt that gave them a 49-42
lead with 5:44 lef.
Triche, whose helped boost
Syracuse at Louisville, then hit two
straight jumpers and fed Grant for
a slam dunk to draw the Orange
within 54-50 with 3:17 lef.

The only thing stopping the Sacra-
mento Kings from a sale and move to
Seattle is approval by NBA owners.
The Maloof family has agreed to
sell the Kings to a Seattle group led by
investor Chris Hansen, the league con-
frmed in a statement Monday morning.
The deal is still pending a vote by the
NBA Board of Governors.
A person familiar with the deci-
sion said that Hansens group will buy
65 percent of the franchise for $525
million, move the team to Seattle and
restore the SuperSonics name. The
Maloofs will have no stake in the team.
The person spoke to The Associ-
ated Press on condition of anonymity
because the deal was waiting approval.
The sale fgure is a total valuation of
the franchise, which includes relocation
fees. Hansens group also is hoping to
buy out other
minority investors.
The Maloofs will get a $30 million
non-refundable down payment by Feb.
1, according to the deal, one person
said. They will still be allowed to receive
other offers until the league approves
the sale.
The plan by Hansens group is to
have the team play at least the next two
seasons in KeyArena before moving into
a new facility in downtown Seattle. The
deadline for teams
to apply for a move
for next season is
March 1.
We have
always appreci-
ated and treasured
our ownership
of the Kings and
have had a great
admiration for the
fans and our team members. We would
also like to thank Chris Hansen for his
professionalism during our negotia-
tion. Chris will be a great steward for
the franchise, Kings co-owner Gavin
Maloof said in a statement on behalf of
the family.
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson
said last week he had received permis-
sion from NBA Commissioner David
Stern to present a counteroffer to league
owners from buyers who would keep the
Kings in Sacramento.
Johnson, himself a former All-Star
point guard in the NBA, said in a state-
ment that the city remained unde-
terred despite the
agreement with the
Seattle group.
Sacramento has
proven that it is a
strong NBA market
with a fan base that
year in and year out
has demonstrated
a commitment to
the Kings by selling
out 19 of 27 seasons in a top 20 market
and owning two of the longest sellout
streaks in NBA history, Johnson said.
When it comes to keeping the team
in our community, Sacramento is play-
ing to win. In particular, we have been
focused like a laser on identifying an
ownership group that will both have the
fnancial resources desired by the NBA
and the vision to make the Kings the
NBA equivalent of what the Green Bay
Packers have been in the NFL.
In a saga that has dragged on for
nearly three years, Johnson and Sacra-
mento appear to be facing their most
daunting challenge yet.
Hansen, a Seattle native and San
Francisco-based investor, reached
agreement with local governments in
Seattle last October on plans to build a
$490 million arena near the citys other
stadiums, CenturyLink Field and Safeco
Field.
As part of the agreement, no con-
struction will begin until all environ-
mental reviews are completed and a
team has been secured. The arena also
faces a pair of lawsuits, including one
from a longshore workers union because
the arena is being built close to port
and industrial operations.
Hansens group is expected to pitch
in $290 million in private investment
toward the arena, along with helping to
pay for transportation improvements in
the area around the stadiums.

Public not ready to forgive lying athletes
I
n the span of one week, two adored
athletes saw both of their reputations
crumble.
The truth shattered both Lance
Armstrongs and Notre Dame linebacker
Manti Teos legacies, leaving them and
their public relations teams to pick up
the pieces. Hopefully, this can be a learn-
ing opportunity for other athletes: cover-
ing up a lie is always worse than telling
the truth.
In the age of social media and smart-
phones, word travels fast. We are able
to find out about Lindsay Lohans arrest
before she sobers up enough to find out
herself. However, this advanced informa-
tion sharing technology means that, if
you lie, you are lying to the entire world.
It only takes one person to uncover the
truth before your entire lie is blown and
the whole world knows.
The truth is still pending in the
Manti Teo hoax story, in which his
deceased girlfriend, who apparently
inspired him to miss tackles in the BCS
Championship, never actually existed.
Whether or not Teo perpetuated the
hoax is still to be determined, but it
seems that at some point, Teo discovered
that his girlfriend was about as real as
the square root of a negative number
and, in his embarrassment, told a lie.
Understandable, right?
But when you or I get caught lying, we
have to apologize to a few people. Teo
has to explain himself to everybody. Do
you think that Teo wishes that he publi-
cized the hoax as soon as he found out
rather than prolonged it with a lie? Id
bet on the affirmative.
Meanwhile, Lance Armstrong juiced
up his legs to the point where his calves
looked like a Thanksgiving turkey. The
fact that Teo is getting most of the atten-
tion shows how strange his story is, but
Armstrongs lie is far more damning.
For years, Armstrong not only vehe-
mently denied allegations of doping, but
also threatened lawsuits to anyone who
made those claims. He manipulated the
public by telling the press that the good
guys trying to uncover the truth were
actually the bad guys. At some point,
Armstrong should have realized that he
was never going to escape his past.
If he had acted with more prudence
at an earlier time, he would have still
lost his records, but perhaps his charitys
reputation could have survived and his
brave fight against cancer would have
been his legacy.
The public is willing to forgive many
things, but it is hesitant to forgive dis-
honesty. Let this be the lesson from this
bizarre week in sports.

RECYCLE
AND
Kansas quarterback Dayne Crist
was a standout on the National
team, coached by Dick Vermeil,
in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl in
Carson, Calif., on Saturday.
Crist scored the first touchdown
of the game early in the second
quarter after taking the ball to
the end zone himself on a one-
yard run. Soon after his rushing
touchdown, Crist connected with
Rice tight end
Luke Wilson
on a seven-yard
pass to give the
National team a
14-0 lead in the
second quarter.
He was named
the NFLPA
Collegiate Bowl MVP.
Crist concluded his night with
seven of 10 passes for 61 yards, one
passing touchdown and one rush-
ing touchdown. Crist impressed
scouts earlier this month in the
Casino Del Sol All-Star game when
he completed six of 12 passes for 62
yards and one touchdown.
Kansas offensive linemen Duane
Zlatnik and Trevor Marrongelli par-
ticipated in the NFLPA Collegiate
Bowl game, as well. Kansas defen-
sive ends Toben Opurum and Josh
Williams also received playing time
in Saturdays college all-star game.
Williams came away with some
pressure for the American team,
and also sacked Crist in the game.
Outside of the NFLPA Collegiate
Bowl game, offensive tackle
Tanner Hawkinson and safety
Bradley McDougald played in the
Shrine Bowl Saturday afternoon.
Hawkinson saw plenty of action
and helped block for Kansas State
quarterback Collin Klein in the
second quarter while McDougald
saw some action on special teams
and a little bit on defense.

Te spring semester is just be-
ginning, but the Jayhawk tennis
team got back to work early as it
captured three fight victories this
weekend at the Clemson Winter
Indoor Classic hosted by the Uni-
versity of Clemson.
For Kansas, this weekend
shined a light on some of the
teams strong points. Even though
the team didnt win a doubles
fight in this non-ITA sanctioned
event, it beat a ranked LSU team
in two of three doubles matches.
It was also a bit of a bright spot for
singles play, as the team bagged
singles fights fve, six and eight.
Tis tournament was the
frst action the Jayhawks have
seen since the San Diego State
Fall Classic in November, and it
showed, as Kansas was 5-8 in sin-
gles play and 3-7 in doubles play,
winning three of the possible 12
fights. Te seeding for the fve-
team feld was done by a hidden
dual format, meaning the results
would not count toward team
records, but would count for the
individuals.
Te level of competition in the
feld had the potential to make
any team look rusty, as three of
the fve teams came into the tour-
nament in the ITA team ranking
top 60: No. 22 Clemson, No. 45
LSU and No. 55 Tulane. Charles-
ton Southern and Kansas were
unranked when play started.
Two players in the feld were
ranked in the ITA top 125 in sin-
gles play, but the most important
player for Kansas last weekend
was junior Dylan Windom. Win-
dom won her frst match against
Caroline Magnusson of Tulane.
Ten she coupled with freshman
Maria Jose Cardona to defeat
Kaitlin Burns and Keri Franken-
berger of LSU in a terribly close
match, 8-6. Windom and Car-
dona then exhausted Magnusson
and Caroline Tornton of Tulane,
8-7 and 7-5.
While Windom was clutch
this weekend, Cardona has been
steadily improving in doubles
play throughout the season. In
November, she won in doubles
with senior Monica Pezzotti. Al-
though she didnt win any of her
singles matches last weekend, she
did win two in doubles play with
Windom, proving her ability to
play well no matter the partner.
Te Jayhawks will look to build
of last weekends strong start as
dual-play starts inside the Jay-
hawk Tennis Center against Den-
ver University on Feb. 1 at 3 p.m.

Indoor track and field team had
athletes place during the UCS Pole
Vault Summit in the Livestock
Events Center in Reno, Nev.
Junior pole vaulter Natalia
Bartnovskaya placed first
for the third time in this year.
Bartnovskayas best mark of the
evening was 4.2 meters (13-9.25
feet), which is also her second best
vault of the season.
Junior Demi Payne and senior
Sarah Hedberg placed second and
third. Payne finished at 4.05 meters
(13-3.5 feet) and Hedberg cleared
3.80 meters (12-5.5 feet). Senior
Sarah Hedberg finished with (3.80
meters (12-5.5 feet) and sopho-
more Jaimie House finished with
3.80 meters (12-5.5 feet).
The mens team also saw success-
ful finishes. Junior Alex Bishop and
sophomore Regan Gilbert each had
a vault of 5.30 meters (17-4.75 feet)
with Bishop claiming first place
and his teammate, taking second.
Bishop took first place for fewer
fouls during the meet.
With these clearances, Bishop
and Gilbert sit at second in the Big
12 and No. 10 in NCAA rankings.
Other Kansas finishes include:
sophomore Greg Lupton (5.10
meters [16-8.75 feet]), sophomore
Aaron Blevins (4.70 meters [15-5
feet]) and freshman Nick Maestretti
(4.70 meters [15-5 feet]).
On Friday, Kansas track and
field will host the Jayhawk Classic,
the final indoor meet of the year.
The meet begins at 10 a.m.

Baty to return to City
College of San Francisco
Kansas football coach Charlie Weis
announced Saturday that sophomore
quarterback Turner Baty will leave the
football program to return to his previ-
ous school, City College of San Fran-
cisco. Baty did not play during the 2012
season.
With Jake
Heaps and Michael
Cummings both
competing for time
at the quarterback
position, I have
decided it would
be in my best interest to go back to City
College of San Francisco and get some
game experience, Baty said. I have not
ruled out the idea of returning to Kansas
after getting a season of play under my
belt. I love it here. I love the University
and my teammates, and I want to thank
everyone in the Jayhawk community for
their support.
Baty, who has three years of eligibility
remaining, arrived at Kansas in time for
the 2012 season after transferring from
CCSF in 2011.
We would like to thank Turner for his
participation in our program this year,
Weis said. We wish him well upon his
return to junior college. After meeting
today, we agreed that a return to KU is
a possibility.

Rodriguez is second in the Big 12 with a
2.16 assist-to-turnover ratio, behind only
his teammate Will Spradling. He was one of
four Wildcats that scored in double fgures
Saturday against Oklahoma, but his nine
assists were even more important. He also
recorded eight assists in the Wildcats frst
conference game, a narrow 73-67 victory
against then-No. 22 Oklahoma State.

rodney mcgruder, guard

Te only Wildcat to average in double
fgures scoring, McGruder is third in the
Big 12 with 15.5 points per game. He has to
carry the ofensive load if Kansas State is to
knock of the Jayhawks. He scored only four
points in the Wildcats loss to Gonzaga in
mid-December. He scored 16 points in the
Wildcats other loss against Michigan, but
he didnt heat up until the second half.

will spradling, guard

A product of Shawnee Mission South
High School, Spradling has been regarded
as one of Kansas State most reliable three-
point threats during his past two years in
Manhattan. However, his consistency has al-
ways been his problem. Hes made less than
35 percent of his three-point attempts this
year, which is actually a slight improve-
ment from his sophomore campaign. He
is the conferences best protector of the
ball, as he sports a healthy 3.0 assist-to-
turnover ratio.

thomas gipson, forward

Te tallest Wildcat starter at 6 feet 7 inch-
es, Gipson leads Kansas State with 5.9 re-
bounds per game. His 48 ofensive rebounds
are 16 more than Jef Withey has on the
season, and 11 more than Kevin Youngs
tallied. Although hes undersized at 6 feet
7 inches, he weighs a bruising 270 pounds.
He could struggle against Witheys length
and Youngs motor. Gipson has turned the
ball over 29 times and has recorded only
four assists.

StARtERS
jeff withey, center
Withey was Kansas most consistent player
Saturday at Texas, fnishing with 14 points, nine
rebounds, four assists and three blocks, two of
which led to Kansas transition buckets. His 4.59
blocks per game is second in the country behind
St. Johns Chris Obekpa. His defense down low is
especially crucial while Kansas fxes its ofensive
struggles.

kevin young, forward
One of the best glue guys in recent Kansas mem-
ory, Young hasnt proved to be a serious scoring
threat game in and game out, but the Jayhawks
dont need him to be. His biggest contribution
during conference play has been his rebounding,
especially on the ofensive end. Hes grabbed at
least two ofensive rebounds in each of the Jay-
hawks last fve games. Grasping extra possessions
will be key against a Wildcat team that boasts the
conferences second-best rebounding margin.

elijah johnson, guard

Te senior turned in a miserable shooting per-
formance against Texas, fnishing one of 11 from
the foor. Coach Bill Self said its only a matter
of time until his shots start falling, but Kansas
would beneft from that time coming sooner
rather than later. Te Jayhawks have more scor-
ing options this year than they did last year, but
freshman Ben McLemore could use another
threat on the perimeter who can penetrate the
defense and hit short jumpers.

travis releford, guard

Releford hasnt made a three-point shot since
conference play began, but hes only attempted
seven of them. But hes been his reliable self in
transition, helping Kansas change the tempo
when its half-court ofense is struggling. Hell be
even more important defensively against Kansas
State, where his versatility could help Self create
matchup problems. Te Wildcats typically dont
start anyone taller than 6 feet 7 inches, although
6-foot-11-inch Jordan Henriquez plays signif-
cant minutes.

ben mclemore, guard

About the only complaint Self has about McLem-
ores ofense is that he doesnt shoot more. Te
redshirt freshman admits he must do a better job
of asserting himself and creating his own ofense.
Afer attempting only three shots in the frst half
against Texas, McLemore made four of his seven
attempts in the second half, keying the Kansas
comeback. In an early battle for the Big 12 lead,
McLemore could stake himself as the top candi-
date for Big 12 Player of the Year honors in the
conference with a big performance on the road.

Rodney McGruder, Guard
Te senior

this season

in scoring with
15.5 points
per game. Te
reigning Big
12 Player of
the Week is averaging 19.5 points
per game during the Wildcats
eight-game winning streak and
has earned the conferences Player
of the Week award four times this
season.
Under frst-year coach Bruce
Weber, the Wildcats are a serious
threat to grab a top-four seed in the
NCAA Tournament. Kansas State
enters on an eight-game winning
streak, including a victory over
then-No. 8 Florida. Tis is the same
Gators team that just shellacked
Missouri by 31 points. Kansas
State is led ofensively by Rodney
McGruder, the only Wildcat who
seems capable of producing big of-
fensive numbers every night.
What role will turnovers
play?
Te Wildcats value the basketball
more than any other team in the
Big 12, as they lead the conference
with a +2.5 turnover margin. Will
Spradling and Angel Rodriguez are
the only players in the conference
with an assist-to-turnover ratio
above two. Kansas State turns the
ball over 12.4 times per game, but
turned it over only eight times in
its past two games, while Kansas
has committed at least 14 turnovers
in four of its past fve games. If the
Jayhawks half-court ofense strug-
gles again like it did against Texas,
the Wildcats would put them in po-
sition to earn the upset by holding
onto the ball and eliminating Kan-
sas transition opportunities.

PLAYER tO WAtch
QUEStION mARK
Kansas travels to Manhattan tied
with the Wildcats at 4-0 for the Big
12 lead, but the Jayhawks could just
as easily be sitting at 2-2. Coach
Bill Self said he judges senior Eli-
jah Johnson by the teams win-loss
record. For now, that record is
sparkling, but if the senior doesnt
start hitting shots soon, that record
may become less appealing. To his
credit, he has appeared to take it
upon himself to get Ben McLemore
involved in the ofense.

Ben McLemore, Guard
Te high-
fying freshman
will face his frst
truly hostile
environment
in Manhat-
tan, although
he handled
himself well
on the road
in December
against Ohio
State. Te Jayhawks other guards
were stagnant for most of the game
Saturday against Texas. If Elijah
Johnson continues to miss shots,
itll be up to McLemore to demand
the ball and look for his shot so the
Wildcats cant sag on Jef Withey
down low.
Can Kansas snap out of its
early conference funk?
Te Jayhawks could have a .500
record in Big 12 play if not for
freshman Ben McLemores three-
pointer against Iowa State and an
ugly comeback against Texas. Te
Wildcats handled Kansas easily in
Manhattan two seasons ago, but
the Jayhawks normally fnd a way
to win in Manhattan, where they
are 22-2 since Bramlage Coliseum
opened. Senior Elijah Johnson
said his team learned a lesson afer
barely beating Texas on Saturday. If
hes wrong, then Kansas is due for
the loss it nearly had Saturday.

Te Jayhawks ofense fnds its

the ofensive arsenal Kansas owns,
but that doesnt matter if that arse-
nal is misfring. Perhaps the most
important thing for senior guard
Elijah Johnson is just to play smart.
As long as he facilitates the ofense,
he doesnt need to score every time
down the court. But when he does
choose to shoot it, his shots need
to be high-percentage looks within
the ofenses framework.

baby jay will weep if...
Te veteran Kansas team gets
rattled. Tree Jayhawk starters are
ffh-year seniors, and Elijah John-
son came to Lawrence four years
ago with Xavier Henry and Tom-
as Robinson. Te seniors must stay
composed for 40 minutes, but they
also must help Ben McLemore play
in what will likely be the most hos-
tile environment hell ever face in
college. Te Jayhawks pace seems
to follow McLemores pace. If the
Kansas State crowd gets him rat-
tled, 40 minutes in Manhattan may
feel like forever.

Bramlage Coliseum.
For a long time, this was Allen
Fieldhouse West for Kansas fans,
and for good reason.
From 1988 until 2008, the Jay-
hawks took the 88-mile drive
down I-70 and returned with a
victory against the in-state rival.
However, since Kansas States
frst victory inside the arena
against Kansas on Jan. 30, 2008, its
been a frenzied battle between the
two schools.
Now, the next chapter in this re-
newed rivalry takes shape today as
No. 3 Kansas plays No. 11 K-State
at 7 p.m. in Manhattan.
For senior guard Travis Rel-
eford, one his best memories in
Te Octagon of Doom was for-
mer guard Sherron Collins strong
performance down the stretch on
Jan. 30, 2010.
Collins dropped an of-balance
layup over Wally Judge with 9.2
seconds lef in overtime to propel
the Jayhawks over the Wildcats.
He just put the team on his
back, Releford said.
Tat year, Releford was a specta-
tor afer being redshirted earlier in
the year.
But this year, hes got a difer-
ent assignment: guarding Rodney
McGruder, one of the hottest play-
ers in the Big 12.
On Monday, McGruder picked
up his fourth Big 12 Player of the
Week award of the season. Hes
also averaging 19.5 points per
game during the Wildcats eight-
game winning streak.
A steadily improving player in
his time with K-State, McGruder is
now the key piece for its run to the
top of the conference standings.
Its going to be a tough match-
up, Releford said. Hes gotten a
lot better on ofense. Hes looking
more to score on ofense. Its going
to be a challenge, but Im looking
forward to it.
Kansas counters McGruders
exceptional play with an outstand-
ing athlete of its own in redshirt
freshman Ben McLemore.
Te guard from St. Louis
who won Big 12 Freshman of the
Week on Monday impressed
once again against
Texas. McLemore
scored 16 points
and six rebounds,
including a few
emphatic dunks
to seal the game.
Tis came afer
scaring fans with
a turned right
ankle earlier in
the week versus
Baylor.
In those two games, McLemore
averaged 16.5 points and seven
rebounds while shooting 56.5
percent from the feld. On top of
that, he also made 57 percent of his
three-pointers.
And with his unrufed demean-
or in many pressure situations this
season, he sees this trip to Man-
hattan as another game to prove
himself and his teammates.
I defnitely think my confdence
level is building, McLemore said.
I give thanks to my teammates
for helping me with that and get-
ting me the ball and getting more
involved in the game.
Te other storyline for this
game other than the matchup
of two of the premier players in
the conference is the transition
to K-State being Kansas main rival
afer Missouris departure to the
Southeastern conference.
For Kansas coach Bill Self, its al-
ways been a rivalry, but he feels it
will change in the near future.
I think this will turn a little bit
to become more heated as we move
forward because we dont have the
Tigers around, and they dont have
the Tigers around, Self said.
Along with putting this as the
central rivalry for the Jayhawks
moving forward, this contest is
also a matchup of former Illinois
coaches.
Current K-State coach Bruce
Weber replaced Bill Self afer he
took the Kansas
job in 2003. We-
ber was fred last
March from the
Fighting Illini.
While in
Champaign, Ill.,
Weber attempt-
ed to move past
Self s departure
from Illinois. At
one point, he
even dressed in
black and told the team he was go-
ing to throw a funeral for Self afer
all the comparisons surrounding
the two coaches.
At this point, none of that mat-
ters to Self. He describes his rela-
tionship with Weber as cordial
and fne, having no issues with
him.
I dont know if you can really
take over a job and not, at some
point and time, say something that
appears to be controversial to the
previous staf, Self said. I know
I probably did it with Roy. Tat
stuf happens.
Ever since Weber replaced K-
States former coach Frank Mar-
tin, hes done an admirable job
getting the Wildcats high in the
polls and in a position to capture
the top spot in the Big 12.
I see a lot of similarities, not
so much in the Xs and Os stand-
point, but in whats most impor-
tant in how hard you compete
and how you play, Self said when
asked about comparing Martin
and Weber.
But even with all the preparation
coaches can do before a game and
connecting the dots of a 10-year
coaching carousel, it still comes
down to players and, of course, the
raucous atmosphere.
Tats why the Jayhawks are pre-
paring for Bramlage Coliseum the
best way they know how: relying
on the experience of one of their
veteran player.
We enjoy going on the road
and playing opponents with crazy
fans because at some point, when
were playing at our best, we get a
joy out of it, Releford said.

Te Big 12 is the strongest
league in womens college bas-
ketball, and thats how it has felt
recently for Kansas, who is 2-3
in conference play afer a three-
game losing skid.
Te Jayhawks fell on the road
to Oklahoma
State, 76-59, at
home against
Baylor, 82-60,
and again on
the road to
Texas Tech,
70-63. Kansas
returns to Al-
len Fieldhouse
for a match up on Wednesday at
7 p.m. against another struggling
Big 12 team: Texas.
Every game in the Big 12 is
big, senior guard Monica En-
gelman said. Especially for us
trying to knock of this losing
streak.
Te Longhorns have lost eight
straight games and are 0-6 in Big
12 games. Texas is one of three
teams that sit behind Kansas in
the standings. Both teams will be
hungry to put an end to their los-
ing streak.
Texas may not have any wins
against Big 12 teams, but it has
managed to lead the league in re-
bounds per game. A huge portion
of those rebounds come from two
of the teams starters, sophomore
Nneka Enemkpali and freshman
Imani McGee-Staford. Enem-
kpali averages 9.8 rebounds per
game while McGee-Staford aver-
ages 8.6 rebounds per game.
Kansas coach Bonnie Hen-
drickson thinks highly of Texas
and the stamina its team has.
Tats a team that has tremen-
dous energy, tremendous tough-
ness, a team that will challenge
us, Henrickson said. Weve got
to be able to answer that chal-
lenge from a toughness and en-
ergy standpoint.
Energy has been a struggle for
Kansas at the start of its previous
games. In all of the last four games,
the Jayhawks have allowed oppo-
nents to get early leads. Against
West Virginia, Henricksons team
was able to make the comeback
and earn a victory, but in the next
three games, it could not.
We have to start of better, se-
nior guard Angel Goodrich said.
Weve got to just come out and
play ready.
Tere has also been a lack of
toughness recently from the Jay-
hawks.
Te reason for Kansas strug-
gles early in their games seemed
obvious to Henrickson.
Everybody plays better with
confdence, Henrickson said.
Our lack of toughness and being
aggressive has allowed people to
be comfortable and confdent.
In the teams last game against
Texas Tech, leading scorers senior
forward Carolyn Davis and Goo-
drich combined for just 18 points
in 66 minutes. Te Jayhawks have
counted on the production of
those two players for most of the
season. Tere were some bright
spots for Henrickson in that
game.
We did a lot of really good
things, Henrickson said. I
thought Chelsea, Monica and
Natalie, those three kids, made
plays.
Kansas will need to make a
few more plays in future Big 12
games, but it knows that a win
against Texas is important on
Wednesday.

K
ansas fans may have over-
looked Kansas State when
the 2012-13 schedules were
released this season.
Many were focused on a non-
conference schedule that included
Michigan State, Ohio State and
Temple in a year that the Big 12 ap-
peared weak. Many cited the fact
that the Jayhawks have won nine of
the last 10 games against the Wild-
cats, and beyond that, 44 of the last
47 games.
Now, just past the mid-season
mark, this game couldnt be bigger.
No. 3 Kansas heads to Manhattan
to face the No. 11 Wildcats, and
both teams are tied for frst in the
Big 12 regular season standings at
4-0 in conference.
Te Jayhawks bring top-three
prospect Ben McLemore to Bram-
lage to face a lineup full of gritty
players like Rodney McGruder,
and Bill Self gets the chance to face
Bruce Weber, his replacement at Il-
linois.
Granted, the Jayhawks are 22-2
in K-States Bramlage Coliseum
and the vitriol in the Kansas sports
community doesnt match that of
Kansas vs. Missouri, but K-State is
still a team Kansas fans groan at the
thought of losing to.
Missouri hatred is hard to over-
come, but Tuesdays game marks
an opportunity for the Sunfower
Showdown.
To be honest, its an incred-
ibly one-sided rivalry, with K-State
dominating football in recent years
and Kansas dominating basketball,
but with the chaotic spiral of con-
ference realignment, times have
changed. Te door is open to a shif
in the intensity of the rivalry.
Tink back to your high school
days. Everyone had that school.
Te school across town, maybe the
small town down the highway that
you loved to beat in every imag-
inable sport. Root canals, spring
cleaning and the DMV ranked
slightly above losing to them, but
you were still friends with a few
people from that school across
town.
Tat similar sibling rivalry feel
has permeated the Sunfower
Showdown for years.
Missouris a diferent story. Late
Kansas football coach Don Fam-
brough said it best: Were the good
people, theyre the bad people.
Tats the best way I know to ex-
plain it. I dont like their people. I
dont like their players. I dont like a
damn thing about em.
Tat level of intensity doesnt
exist in the Sunfower Showdown.
Youre more likely to hear a coach
laud K-State than take Fambroughs
approach. Now, however, a few
things have changed.
K-State lost Frank Martin to
South Carolina, bringing in We-
ber. Te twos personal rivalry dates
back to Webers mock funeral ser-
vices as a response to Self leaving
the Illinois program.
Te newfound coaching rivalry
within the Sunfower Showdown
is unlikely to publicly boil over, but
the history adds more intrigue to
the matchup.
Te Sunfower Showdown isnt
likely to lose its Midwestern family
feel anytime soon, but theres never
been a better chance for the rivalry
to take a more intense path.
