Kansas athletes GPA ranked among top colleges
up in tHe air
As primetime television net-
works prepare to broadcast the
NCAA Final Four, teams practice
drills, blocks and passes. However,
the Jayhawks successes extend well
past the defeat at Cowboy Stadium
last weekend. While fans lucky
T-shirts and thunderous chanting
cheer on athletics, student athletes
balance their time between sports
and tests, assignments and read-
ings.
Inside Higher Ed, an online
news publication, squares off uni-
versity education programs. After
the NCAA releases the second
brackets, teams face off not on
the court but in the classroom.
The annual academic bracket
[http://www.insidehighered.com/
sites/default/server_files/files/
IHE2013men%27sbracket(1).
JPG] compares teams Academic
Progress Rates, a scale the NCAA
uses to monitor eligibility. This
year, the Kansas mens basketball
team placed second, with a perfect
APR of 1,000.
That shows you how much
emphasis we put on the aca-
demic side of the student-ath-
lete ratio, said Jim Marchiony,
Associate Athletics Director of
Communications/Media Relations.
In 2012, student athletes have
a four-year graduation rate of 85
percent, which is higher than the
University-wide average of 37 per-
cent. Marchiony believes that this
is partially due to University sup-
port and largely due to athletes
natural competitveness and the
Universitys policy of recruiting
student athletes who are motivated
to succeed behind a desk as well as
in a work out.
We all push each other, said
Ashlyn Midyett. Its a competitive
nature to see who can do the best
during practice, during competi-
tions and also in the classroom.
Midyett, a senior from Olathe
studying exercise science, was
recruited for the womens row-
ing team out of high school. The
NCAA Division I varsity rowing
team is scholarship-only, meaning
that each of the 60 rowers receives
an athletic scholarship ranked by
seniority that includes athletic gear,
books, tuition or housing. Midyett
gets as much work done as possible
between classes, as every day is
sandwiched by a 6-8 a.m. and a 5-7
p.m. practice.
It takes some getting used to,
Midyett said. As a freshman I
was overwhelmed because I didnt
know what to expect for the load
of college courses and I had no idea
how to balance it. Now, as a senior,
its easy because time management
has become second nature to me.
The NCAA requires athletes to
enroll in at least 12 credit hours
and maintain a minimum grade
point average of 2.0. On top of
the 20 hours a week in the weight
room or on the water at the boat-
house, Midyett spends eight hours
a week in optional night tutoring
for her biochemistry and physics
classes.
In general, expectations are
very clear that every student is
supposed to keep up with course-
work regardless of whats going
on outside of the classroom, said
Associate Athletics Director Paul
Buskirk.
The Athletics Department
focuses on getting the students in
close contact with instructors and
helping them balance athletics with
academics. Letters are sent through
student athletes to instructors that
include potential conflicts at the
beginning of the semester.
Ive always had really flex-
ible professors who support ath-
letes, said Leawood senior Devin
Wiegers. They respond in a time-
ly manner and help you organize
when to take your test, if you can
turn stuff in early or if you can turn
it in afterwards.
Wiegers is earning her masters
in business who runs 55 to 60 miles
a week in training for the cross
country and track and field teams.
When competing at away tour-
naments, an academic counsellor
and even occasionally tutors travel
with each team to put together
study hours between meetings,
practices and games. Per instructor
convenience, student athletes take
conflicting exams before or after
away games or have an academic
member of the athletics staff or
of the destination universitys staff
serve as a proctor so the athlete can
take the exam at the same time as
other students in the class.
They cant postpone work when
theyre on the road, Buskirk said.
Theyre writing papers, theyre
preparing for exams. They cant put
the coursework aside or these few
weeks in March will be absolutely
brutal when they get back.
The University, Buskirk said,
pushes students to prioritize both
academics and athletics, even if
only one is televised.
The most important thing to
succeed in coursework has no
magic to it, Buskirk said. Youve
got to be in class, you have to
be in close communication with
your instructors and you have to
work really hard. And those are the
expectations that we have for our
students.

Any day now, a group of stu-
dents will send a balloon 100,000
feet into the air.
The students enrolled in
Geography 726, a graduate-level
class revolving around remote
sensing, have spent the semester
designing and building a balloon
they named the PHOG-NS.
The PHOG-NS will ascend into
the air, pop at 100,000 feet, and
then deploy a parachute carrying
sensors, a camera, transmitters and
a GPS back to the ground.
Weve had no instructions on
this project. Its all student-driven,
said Bryan Long, a graduate student
who is working on the project.
The parachute will carry a
7-pound Styrofoam-insulated cyl-
inder that will transmit data from
the air back to the team stationed
in Lawrence.
Our system is equipped to take
photographs, collect barometric
pressure, temperature, GPS loca-
tions which include latitude, lon-
gitude, and altitude, and we have a
color infrared camera, Long said.
On March 28, the team launched
the balloon and parachute in a
tethered test. The run-through was
designed to give the team an idea
of how the real launch will go. The
team collected small amounts of
data that they can examine before
the official launch.
We should have, theoretically, at
100,000 feet a ground-spatial reso-
lution of about 10 or 11 meters,
Steven Foga, a first-year graduate
student in the geography depart-
ment, said. The camera will be
capturing images at three-second
intervals. We have an accelerom-
eter, which will help us adjust for
whenever the sensor is sideways.
The idea is to be looking straight
down so you can make ground
measurements and estimations of
whatever you want to study.
Long says software will assist the
group in rectifying images so that
photographs taken from the air
will come out flat, like in Google
Earth.
The team will be able to track
the parachute as it makes its way
back to Earth by using its internal
GPS.
Once wind pattern projections
are favorable, the group will launch
the balloon from Clinton Lake. It
is expected to return back to the
ground in the Kansas City area. By
using a radio downlink, the group
will be able to look at data as it is
collected. The infrared monitors
will capture images of vegetation
health. Ideally, the images collected
could help farmers improve their
crop yield by seeing where in their
fields their crop is struggling.

Gluten-free options more prevalent on campus
MarsHall sCHMidT
mschmidt@kansan.com
The article titled Kansas Legislature passes
anti-abortion bill in yesterdays issue of the
Kansan explained an anti-abortion bill that is
currently in the Kansas Legislature. The Senate
advanced House Bill 2253 by a voice vote on
Monday, but did not make a final action until
Tuesday.
The Senate passed the sweeping legislation
with a 29-11 vote yesterday. The bill states
that life begins at fertilization. It would prohibit
abortion providers from distributing materials
for sex education classes in public schools,
and would require doctors to provide certain
information to patients undergoing abortions.
This includes information about abortions and
the risk of breast cancer. Members of the house
will review the bill before it moves on to Gov.
Sam Brownback.
Gluten-free dieting is more than
just the latest weight loss fad to
Emma McNay, a sophomore from
Pratt. Rather, its a way to maintain
her health.
Afer studying abroad in Italy
last summer, McNays diet of glu-
ten-laden pasta, bread and pizza
triggered an allergy to wheat prod-
ucts. Since then, McNay has eaten
gluten free in order to avoid wheat
foods. Gluten is a protein complex
found in wheat four, according to
Bakers Digest.
I am healthier gluten free be-
cause Im more conscientious of
what Im eating, McNay said. I
just feel better.
Janna Traver, executive chef for
the University, estimated 25 out of
the 3,000 student residents request
to eat gluten free a number that
has grown throughout the years.
In the past two years, Traver said
her staf has made an efort to
make more gluten-free food avail-
able at every on-campus dining
venue. Mrs. Es renovations will
include a Kyou Zone, which will
be designated for specialized diet
needs, Travers said.
As were learn-
ing more, were
able to provide
more options,
Travers said.
Celiac disease,
the inability to di-
gest gluten prod-
ucts, is the most
common medical
reason to go gluten
free, said Jill Hamilton
Reeves, professor of
Dietetics and Nutrition at the Uni-
versity of Kansas Medical Center.
In the United States, an estimated
one out of 141 people have celiac
disease.
Rachael Schafer, a sophomore
from Lawrence, was diagnosed
with celiac disease during her ju-
nior year of high school. She runs
long distance for the track and feld
team and cooks most of her own
food to maintain proper nutrition
and to control her diet. While
Shafer said the taste of gluten-free
foods is
compa-
rable to
nor mal
f o o d s ,
t h e r e
are still
s o m e
e x c e p -
tions.
Th e
g l u t e n
free des-
serts just dont taste the same,
Schafer said. You have to plan
out your meals unlike a normal
diet, where you can get food at the
drop of a hat.
Even in just the past few years
since going gluten free, Schafer
has noticed the availability and
quality of gluten-free foods has
increased. With Wal-Mart and
Hy-vee carrying gluten-free prod-
ucts, this greater availability would
seem to positively correlate with
a general trend in gluten intoler-
ance.
Te prevalence of celiac disease
is increasing, but we dont know
why, Hamilton-Reeves said. Its
common in stressed individuals,
especially college students.
More common in caucasians,
Hamilton-Reeves said a genetic
predisposition coupled with a
stressful life event is how the dis-
ease is triggered. As for those who
do not have a medical reason to go
gluten free, Hamilton-Reeves said
such a diet is unnecessary as its of-
ten lower in fber.
Most people who go gluten free
increase their fat intake, Hamil-
ton-Reeves said. People who fol-
low a gluten-free diet ofen gain
weight, but you dont have to.
Going gluten free can result in
consuming other unhealthy foods
instead to compensate for the lack
of tastiness in many gluten-free
foods, Hamilton-Reeves said.
But Adam Smith, a sophomore
from Leawood, has lost nearly 15
pounds since switching to a glu-
ten-free diet last May, and he said
he feels more energetic.
I think its healthier, Smith
said.
Many students who, like Smith,
do not have celiac disease, take ad-
vantage of the gluten-free options
ofered on campus, said Alecia
Stultz, Assistant Director of Resi-
dential Dining at the University.
Im willing to bet a good por-
tion of the individuals who eat glu-
ten free do not sufer from celiac
disease, said Stutlz. A fad is going
gluten free to lose weight.

CORRECTION
WICHITA A new womens
clinic has begun taking appoint-
ments and is expected to open
within days in the building of
abortion provider George Til-
ler nearly four years afer he was
killed.
Te South Wind Womens
Center will ofer comprehensive
womens health care services,
including abortions up to 14
weeks.
Te new clinic is owned by
Trust Women Foundation, a
nonproft organization founded
in 2010 by Julie Burkhart, who
worked with Tiller for seven
years. Te foundation bought
the property from Tillers wife in
August. Burkhart said it has cost
about $700,000 to purchase the
clinic and get it up and running.
Burkhart said the clinic will
open when last-minute details
are worked out sometime this
week. Tree doctors will work on
a rotating basis at the clinic.
Te Kansas City Star reports
abortion opponents have vowed
to force the clinic to close.
Burkhart says the clinic will
heighten security for patients
safety.
Tiller was gunned down in
2009 at his church in Wichita by
anti-abortion activist Scott Roed-
er, who is serving a life sentence
for the physicians murder.
Abortion opponents have spo-
radically protested at the clinic
and at Burkharts home even be-
fore its opening. Burkhart will
be in Sedgwick County District
Court on April 11 seeking a per-
manent protection from stalk-
ing order against Wichita pastor
Mark Holick.
Holick did not immediately
return a phone message seeking
comment.
A move by Kansans for Life
failed to get the city to rezone the
building so as to block its open-
ing.
Tiller was one of the few re-
maining late-term abortion pro-
viders in the nation when he was
gunned down in church and his
clinic shuttered. When Tiller op-
erated the clinic, it was the site of
regular protests by abortion op-
ponents, including large Sum-
mer of Mercy demonstrations
in 1991 and 2001 that led to mass
arrests.
Burkhart, the Trust Women
founder, was a clinic employee
and from 2002 to 2009 ran Pro-
KanDo, a PAC formed by Tiller.

Life is so busy - whether its

English teachers are well aware

of the differences between writing
styles of male and female students.
But do these differences translate
over to Hollywoods author biopic
film industry?
Thats the question Sigrid
Nieberle, visiting professor of
Germanic languages, explored in
her lecture Do Men Really Write
Differently? About 20 students
and faculty attended the lecture
yesterday, which took place in the
Centennial Room in the Kansas
Union.
The lecture is part of Nieberles
graduate exchange experience
at the University this semester.
The Universitys Graduate Direct
Exchange program has been one of
the largest in the nation since 1963,
and Nieberles involvement with
the German department includes
designation as this years Max Kade
Distinguished Visiting Professor.
A native of the University of
Erlangen-Nrnberg in Bavaria,
Germany, Nieberle engaged spec-
tators who desired an in-depth
look into why todays biopics about
popular female authors diverge
so sharply in theme from biopics
about male authors while the pre-
sentation of these two types of
films remain similar.
While she spends much of her
time as a Max Kade professor teach-
ing undergraduate- and graduate-
level German language courses,
Nieberle devotes a fair portion of
her passion to understanding gen-
der differences in author biopics
and realizing that male and female
writers do write differently.
Women writers are underrepre-
sented in literary history, Nieberle
said. Scholars have less of a desire
to follow women. Today, popular
culture shows a greater desire to
follow women writers and thats
why weve seen an increase in these
biopics in Hollywood. Im not sure
why this is, but its something that
Im investigating.
With short clips from famous
flicks that outline the lives of
authors from Mark Twain to the
Bront sisters, Nieberle concluded
that how these women are able to
write is a question always asked but
is never truly answered.
The German department and
Office of International Programs,
which helped put on the presenta-
tion, were excited that Nieberle was
able to share her message in such a
momentous year.
This is our 50th anniver-
sary between KU and Erlangen
University, said Lorie Vanchena,
associate professor of Germanic
languages and literatures at the
University. Were especially excit-
ed to host her this year as we look
forward to another great 50 years
with Erlanger.
Since the Exchanges inception,
the mutual relationship between
the University and Erlangen has
allowed 43 Kansas students to trav-
el to their German sister school.

More remains uncovered in World trade center debris
ASSOCIAtED PRESS
NEW YORK Jim Riches
pulled his firefighter sons man-
gled body out of the rubble at
the World Trade Center, but the
phone calls still filtered in years
afterward. The city kept finding
more pieces of his son.
Theyll call you and theyll tell
you, We found a shin bone, said
Riches, a retired deputy fire chief.
Or: We found an arm bone. We
held them all together and then we
put them in the cemetery.
Those are the phone calls both
dreaded and hoped for among the
families of Sept. 11 victims. And as
investigators began sifting through
newly uncovered debris from the
World Trade Center this week for
the first time in three years, those
anxieties were renewed more than
a decade after the attacks.
But there was also hope that
more victims might yet be identi-
fied after tens of millions of dol-
lars have been spent on the pains-
taking identification process. Two
potential human remains were
recovered on Monday, according
to the medical examiner.
We would like to see the other
40 percent of the families who
have never recovered anything
to at least someday have a piece
of their loved one, Riches said.
That they can go to a cemetery
and pray.
About 60 truckloads of debris
that could contain tiny fragments
of bone or tissue were unearthed
by construction crews that have
been working on the new World
Trade Center in recent years.
That material is now being trans-
ported to a park built on top of
the former Fresh Kills landfill on
Staten Island, where investigators
will attempt to find any possible
remains during the next 10 weeks,
the city said. Thats the material
the two potential human remains
were found in.
The citys last sifting effort
ended in 2010. This time, crews
were able to dig up parts of the
trade center site that were previ-
ously inaccessible to workers, the
city said.
Some 2,750 people died at the
World Trade Center in the 2001
terrorist attacks, but only 1,634
people have been identified.
We have been monitoring the
World Trade Center site over time
and monitoring the construction,
said Ellen Borakove, a spokes-
woman for the medical examiners
office. And if they see any mate-
rial that could possibly contain
human remains, we collect that
material.
About 9,000 human remains
recovered from the ruins of the
World Trade Center remain
unidentified because they are
too degraded to match victims
by DNA identification. The
remains are stored at an undis-
closed location monitored by the
medical examiners office and
will eventually be transferred to
a subterranean chamber at the
National September 11 Memorial
& Museum.
Some victims families expressed
impatience that the city has only
just uncovered more debris.
Quite frankly, they shouldve
excavated this and searched it 12
years ago, said Diane Horning,
whose son, Matthew, died in the
attacks. Instead, they built ser-
vice roads and construction roads
and were more worried about the
building and the tourism than they
were about the human remains.
The citys efforts to identify
Sept. 11 victims have long been
fraught with controversy.
In April 2005, the citys chief
medical examiner, Charles Hirsch,
told families his office would be
suspending identification efforts
because it had exhausted the lim-
its of DNA technology.
But just a year later, the discov-
ery of human remains on a bank
tower roof and then in a manhole
near ground zero outraged families
who said the search for their loved
ones had been rushed initially.
The findings prompted a renewed
search that cost the city tens of
millions of dollars and uncovered
1,500 pieces of remains.
Meanwhile, some victims rela-
tives sued the city over its decision
to move 1.6 million tons of mate-
rials from the trade center site to
the Fresh Kills landfill, saying the
material might contain victims
ashes and should have been given
a proper burial.
The lawsuit was dismissed, and
unsuccessfully appealed to the
U.S. Supreme Court.
As it embarks on combing
through debris yet again, the
medical examiners office says it
will keep monitoring the site as
long as new areas are being dug
or exposed.
Charles G. Wolf was pleased to
hear about the renewed search,
though he believes that his wife,
Katherine, was vaporized dur-
ing the attack. Investigators have
never found her remains.
Years ago, it bothered him that
he had no grave to visit. Wolf said
the opening of the Sept. 11 memo-
rial has filled a hole in his heart,
but hell never have closure.
You heal. You carry on, he

I
f you maintain some sort of
social media presence, youve
probably seen it by now. Its
the newest hit-Twitter account
on campus. Its bio says its here
to make things weird at the
University of Kansas. Its called
@KUSecretAdmirer; it may be
offline right now its modera-
tors told the Kansan that Twitter
temporarily suspended it for fol-
lowing too many accounts over
the last few days but it still has
lots of students talking.
So by all means, lets talk about
it.
Basically, each tweet that the
account publishes is something
thats been sent to them either by
direct message or email. Theyre
supposed to just be crushes, but
if you read them, theyre mostly
blatant, dirty and unfiltered-yet-
clever hypotheticals about how
much someone wants to have sex
with that guy or girl in their biol-
ogy lab. You know, those horny
thoughts that never quite make
the trip from your mind out past
your lips.
The best part is that you
can say whatever you want to
your crush while maintaining
whatever level of anonymity you
choose. No matter how specific
or vague you are about your iden-
tity, youre able to easily get those
feelings off your chest. Theres
a pretty good chance theyre
going to see it, too the account
racked up 3,000 followers in just
three days.
The accounts moderators
(there are three of them) spoke
to me via email, on condition of
anonymity, about how it all start-
ed. They said that the idea came
after they began seeing anony-
mous crush-confessionals sprout
up at other universities across
the country. Most took the form
of public Google Docs, where
students could freely add quips
about whatever theyd like to do
with whomever after class in a
sticky, steamy lab closet. They
decided to do something similar
for KU students, and wasted little
time before hitting the streets,
literally, to spread the word.
We dressed up in all black and
chalked up campus in the middle
of the night, the moderators said.
You know the Kansas way to
advertise.
Then, they began following
other students and asking popu-
lar KU parody accounts to men-
tion the account to its followers.
By Monday, people everywhere
from Anschutz to The Exchange
were chuckling over as they read
through all the proposed sexual
deeds students were publicly
offering to their crushes.
But, as you know, theres always
going to be a group of people
who have a problem with stuff
like this. When certain things
are said and certain names are
dropped, issues of defamation
and harassment can arise. While
one could argue that the majority
of @KUSecretAdmirers tweets
might be flattering, though
exceedingly vulgar, to their
intended recipients, theres always
a possibility that someone may
take offense to a tweet that men-
tions them.
Since the moderators, who
for now, at least are anony-
mous, dont reveal each sources
identity, there isnt much action
that could be taken against them
from a legal standpoint. They
havent received any blowback
yet, either; @KUSecretAdmirers
suspension had nothing to do
with the nature of its tweets.
Thats likely because, unlike some
of their predecessors from other
anonymous gossip or confession
platforms around the country.
The accounts moderators insist
that they wont publish anything
that they feel may be malicious.
We try to keep it drama free,
the moderators said. We only
post admirers, not cat fights,
purposeful insults or intentions
to make or break something.
From the looks of it, theyve
kept their word up to this point.
Though a lot of the tweets con-
tain some pretty creative, and
close-to-obscene sexual proposi-
tions, it doesnt look like anyones
trying to dish out any serious dirt
theyd rather just get seriously
dirty.
Regardless of whether or not
youre a fan of this new, horny
movement on Twitter, you have
to acknowledge the fact that
theres a market for students who
want to both anonymously and
semi-anonymously voice sexual
attraction for their peers and
that markets bigger than you
think. Look at Tinder, the app
that lets you privately indicate
whether or not youre attracted
to your peers and lets you know
if the other person shares that
attraction. Or look at Lulu, an
app that some have dubbed as the
Yelp for guys, that allows girls to
rate guys theyve hooked up with.
Tons of students dabble with apps
like these, so what makes
@KUSecretAdmirer any differ-
ent?
Its really just a proverbial class-
room desk where anyone with
a pen or in this case, Twitter
account can etch in whatever
they please. Somebody may write
something that you either enjoy
or dislike, but no matter what,
youll never know who wrote it.
Luckily, though, there are mod-
erators who keep it from getting
malicious. Its just fun.
Were all just a bunch of horny
college kids, and
@KUSecretAdmirer is a clear-
cut example of that. This is a
fun time. After all, we dont have
much left before were all doomed
to cubicles and 9:30 p.m. bed-
times for the rest of our lives.

T
he Internet changes weve
seen in our generation
have forced several com-
panies to restructure their busi-
ness plans.
When I was 7 years old, my
mom had a Macintosh computer
and track-ball that she used to do
her graphic designing. The huge
machine was loud and produced
a funny smell that I can only
describe as hot metal. Boot-up
took about 15 minutes, and if you
were lucky, it wouldnt crash.
We kept it in the basement
office where my mom worked
from home designing the lay-
out for newspapers, magazines,
invoices, and even billboards. On
the bookshelf, numerous stacks
of paper shuffled unevenly on
shelves sat next to a spindle of
important contacts and a shoe-
box filled with what I assume
was every single floppy disc ever
held by human hands. What
little space that was left over was
occupied by a very large, very
loud Laser Jet printer, a black fax
machine, and a random table in
the corner that served no purpose
other than being one more spot
to put stacks of miscellaneous
paper.
From time to time my mom
would let me watch her work and
I would help her build marquees
and templates. But what really
beat the bunch was a new thing
she had that was just beginning to
spread across the country. After
a quick dial and some agonizing
noise we heard that friendly voice
say Welcome! Youve got mail!
for the first time.
The Internet was officially in
our home.
Our generation is one of the
most unique in American history.
I was born in 1990 and I remem-
ber the transition specifically
from using encyclopedia books to
software like Encarta to internet
databases like Wikipedia.
It was our generation that grew
up watching it develop from text-
based websites to goofy websites
with little flash videos to the all-
encompassing home of informa-
tion, media and communication
that it is today. It was our genera-
tion that provided the content.
I remember the different
yet similar layouts of Google.
I remember going from Xanga
to Myspace to Facebook. I even
remember websites tattered
with moving GIFs, traffic coun-
ters, and the infamous Under
Construction page. It was such
that as I grew up, the Internet
grew up with me.
Here I am at 22 years old and
the World Wide Web is bigger
than ever before. We carry it on
our phones and tablets, we can
access it anywhere wirelessly and
video can be transmitted through
simple lines of code that stream
quickly (or even live) in HD. You
cant even be a functioning mem-
ber of society without the use of a
computer and the Internet.
As the Internet evolved,
copyright laws faced a crisis.
Intellectual property was no lon-
ger safe and the world underwent
a major transition in how media
was acquired.
Things that can be duplicated
an infinite number of times with-
out ever losing a bit of quality
now sit at the fingertips of almost
every person in the world, while
record companies, newspapers,
magazines and movie industries
struggle to adapt to a new envi-
ronment. The feeling is that writ-
ers, musicians and filmmakers are
all going to disappear, the result
of not being able to make income
on their property.
They are right about one thing:
the Internet will change the
industry, and the Internet has and
will continue to kill companies.
However, it wont be an end to
creativity and culture.
On the contrary, it has already
become a cultural renaissance of
creativity. You can find musicians
releasing their songs for free just
to be heard, writers writing just
to be read, photographers, sculp-
tors, craftsmen and painters all
doing it because they love it. How
will they make money? There are
ways. By being hired on as full-
time members of various web-
affiliations, or letting everyone
hear the music, but pay to see it.
My favorite example is iTunes LP,
which provides a proper incentive
to actually purchase an album
instead of simply downloading it.
I grew up with the internet;
similarly, the internet grew
up with me. We are both still
incredibly young, and both have
a long time ahead. My point is
it will happen in time. We all
will make it happen. Heres to a
bright future of new industry and
communication. We are riding
the wave of the most important
invention in the history of the
world.

T
he Jayhawks lost. You
know it, I know it, and
unfortunately theres
nothing we can do as fans to
resurrect the 2012-2013 mens
basketball season for Bill Self
and company. So what do we
do now? There is a wide range
of coping mechanisms for fans
of championship or bust pro-
grams like ours when that dread-
ful day losing in the NCAA
tournament arrives.
There are the fans who throw
their hands in the air and pro-
claim defiantly that they are
done watching the rest of the
tournament. Others will watch,
but the intensity and passion for
each game going forward will
be absent. And then there are
the fans who stay emotionally
attached to the tournament and
pay close attention to what the
Final Four has in store. I consid-
er myself a part of this category.
The sting of last Friday nights
87-85 overtime loss to Michigan
in the Sweet Sixteen continues to
linger. The manner in which the
Jayhawks lost blowing a dou-
ble-digit lead with less than three
minutes left in regulation will
haunt the Jayhawks until next
season begins. Whether youre
a die-hard fan or an occasional
follower of the team, we can all
agree that this is a game that the
Jayhawks let slip between their
fingers. But is this enough heart-
break to make watching the rest
of the tournament a begrudging
task? No. Not even close.
Lost in all of the hoopla of
the Jayhawks receiving a No. 1
seed and winning their first two
games of the tournament is the
ever-important lesson about the
beauty that is March Madness.
In a college basketball season
thats seen more parity than any
in recent memory, top-ranked
squads frequently have been
humbled. Its only fitting that
this years Sweet 16 featured its
first-ever 15 seed, a 12 seed and
a nine seed (a member of the
Final Four). Top seeds dropped
faster than a politicians promise
after election day. In a season
of constant uncertainty, its only
fitting that the Jayhawks drop a
game that seemed so certain to
be in the bag.
So this is where we are now.
As I type this Im watching
Michigan celebrate a Final Four
berth and cant help but wonder
what could have been. We tend
to bemoan our tragic tourna-
ment loss so much that we miss
out on some of the spectacular
March Magic that doesnt wait
up for us. All we can do now is
accept reality. The state of Kansas
will be represented by one team
in the 2013 Final Four, and the
word Kansas is nowhere to
be found on that teams jerseys.
That being said, I cant wait to
see what Wichita State can do in
Atlanta, and youd better believe
Ill be watching every step of the
ride, regardless of whether my
team is a part of the ride or not.

S
he convulses on her bed as if an invisible force
is throwing her, jolting up and down, up and
down, screaming Mother please, please make it
stop! Suddenly she stops and lets out a frighten-
ing growl. As the priest tries to cast the demon out of her
body, her head spins all the way around and she begins
to levitate.
This scene from the 1973 film The Exorcist is just
one of many Hollywood representations of an exorcism.
Many exorcisms on film, like the one described above,
show insane and abnormal behavior that could never
happen in real life. Hollywood exaggerates instances of
demonic possession to entice
viewers and to ultimately
make money. They create
larger than life scenes and
drag out bizarre behavior to
get a rise out of the audience.
Father Vince Lampert,
who will speak in Woodruff
Auditorium at 7:00 p.m.
tonight, says that while some
parts of an exorcism can look
like scenes from a movie, most
exorcisms are much different.
Lampert is an appointed exorcist of the Roman Catholic
Church for the archdiocese of Indianapolis. An exor-
cism, according to Lampert, is a liturgical rite of the
Church. The priest follows certain steps during an
exorcism.
The first step is to do research by sending the pos-
sessed person to psychiatric specialists and making
sure the possession is demonic and isnt just a case of
mental illness. Once the specialists determine that the
symptoms dont stem from mental illness, a space is
needed to conduct the exorcism. An exorcism is always
done in a sacred space, such as a church or a chapel.
The priest then celebrates Mass and goes to Confession
to become free of sin and mentally prepare himself for
the exorcism. He will also invite other family members
of the possessed or other priests to be present during
the process.
He begins the exorcism with a series of prayers, which
starts with the litany of saints and is followed by scrip-
ture readings, focusing on those in which Jesus casts out
demons. Commands are made after the readings for
the demon to leave the body of the possessed. These are
often repeated several times until the exorcism is over.
Exorcisms date back thousands of years. Some are
even described in the New Testament of the Bible. These
verses are generally the ones read during an exorcism. In
Mark 5: 1-20, Jesus met a man who was possessed by the
devil and cast out the demon into a herd of pigs.
Even though instances of possession are recorded
in the Bible and other religious texts, Paul Mirecki, a
University professor in the religious studies department,
doesnt believe in them.
This is how people dealt with diseases in the ancient
world, Mirecki said.
Germ theory, the theory that germs exist and cause
bacteria and diseases, is only about 100 years old.
Mirecki says that, since
people lived in fear of
demons before the
advent of modern medi-
cine, they used exorcisms
as a way to deal with
these unknown health
issues
According to Lampert,
some symptoms of
demonic manifestation
in a person possessed
can include knowledge of languages that person has
never studied, extraordinary strength, foaming of the
mouth, growling, eyes rolling back of the head, cursing
at the exorcist, or an aversion to anything holy, including
holy water, the Bible, a crucifix and relics.
Lamperts goal as an exorcist is not to focus on the
reality of evil, but to help people focus on the presence
of God in their lives.
Its not just casting out evil, its about how do I assist
somebody to build a strong relationship with God so
something like this doesnt happen again, Lampert
said.
Vince Lampert will speak more about his experi-
ence as an exorcist tonight at 7 p.m. in the Woodruff
Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

The Kansas Jayhawks struggled
in the field in their 6-3 loss to the
Creighton Bluejays Tuesday.
The three-error performance is
an anomaly for the otherwise solid
fielding team in the 2013 cam-
paign. The Jayhawks have com-
mitted 28 errors in their first 26
games, with several of these com-
ing in multi-error performances.
I was really disappointed in the
performance defensively and thats
pretty much been the strength
of our team, coach Ritch Price
said. If you make three errors
and three of your best players kick
routine balls, you set yourself up
to get beat. That was our problem
tonight.
The teams three errors came on
plays many consider routine, but
werent routine for the Jayhawks
last night.
For Price, a mix of youth and
experience in the field have con-
tributed to the inconsistency on
defense.
Because theres such a discrep-
ancy between how many young
guys we have on the field at any
given time, I think youre more
likely to have a bad night because
of how inexperienced you are. The
thing that was tough tonight is
only one of those plays was tough
as well.
The trend wont shake the
Jayhawks from their routine in
practice or approach to the game
defensively.
Its just one of those things
you run into, senior shortstop
Kevin Kuntz said. You go through
stretches where youre on point
defensively and making all the
plays, but sometimes you hit that
one inning. The biggest thing is
having a short memory and know-
ing theres nothing you can do
about it after it happens.
Kuntzs ankle is nearly back to
100 percent after a two-week stay
on the bench earlier this season.
Kuntz said the recovery process
went much faster than he envi-
sioned and although he isnt quite
at full speed, hell be there soon.
The Jayhawks need Kuntz, one
of their senior leaders, back at
full speed this week as theyll play
five games in six days through the
weekend.
You have to come everyday
with energy, Kuntz said. You have
to bring it everyday. Its exciting to
play at home again after being on
the road for almost a month it
seemed like. We just have to flush
tonight and come back tomorrow
and bring the energy.
To those outside the program,
squeezing five games into six days
may appear detrimental to a team.
For Price, the five-game stand is a
solid opportunity for the Jayhawks
to gain momentum for the rest of
their Big 12 conference schedule.
Part of its by design. Tomorrow
were hoping to play some of the
younger guys in our program that
havent played very much and
pitch some of our younger guys.
It gets you in a good rhythm both
at the plate and defensively. In the
past, weve broken out over the
weekend in conference and thats
what were hoping for here.
The Jayhawks continue their
homestand facing their NAIA foe
the Saint Mary Spires at 6 p.m. in
Hoglund Ballpark. The Jayhawks
will start sophomore right hander
Drew Morovick (1-1, 2.79 ERA, 8

ere Jayhawks through and
through, but this calendar
year has been a little rough at
times.
Michigan guard Trey Burke sucker-
punched Kansas with a game-tying
3-pointer at the end of regulation on
Friday night after it felt like Kansas had
dominated for the better part of the
regional semi-final. In that moment, it felt
pretty rough being a Kansas Jayhawk fan.
Then he continued to pull shots out of his
bag in overtime, and Kansas post-season
run came to an early halt.
The KU womens team fought val-
iantly in the tournament, upsetting No. 5
Colorado and No. 4 South Carolina, but
was tossed around in a 30-point loss to
Notre Dame in another tough loss for the
crimson and the blue.
Not to mention, the football team went
winless in Big 12 play for the 2nd straight
season.
If it makes you feel any better, it could
be worse. You could be a Kansas City
Royals fan. And if you are, Im sorry
because I am one, too.
Jon Doe* has been a life-long Kansas
Citian. Born in 1986, he graduated from
the University of Kansas with a Bachelor
of Science in Business Administration in
2008. Now he is the manager at a small
furniture outlet in the Power and Light
District.
Doe was in San Antonio for the Kansas
national championship victory in 2008.
He is a season ticket holder for Sporting
KC, and he thinks they will win an MLS
championship in the next few years. He
also went to the Chiefs playoff loss in
2010. Point being, he has seen some highs
and lows in Kansas City sports. Most of
the highs are evenly spread among these
three teams. All of the lows are credited
to the Kansas City Royals.
Jon frequents Kauffman Stadium dur-
ing the summer, but mostly for fireworks,
buck night, and an excuse to drink copi-
ous amounts of beer. If the Royals win, its
cause for serious celebration; if the Royals
lose, well, were numb to it. Party on.
After all, we know the Royals arent
actually trying to win games. Jon hasnt
seen a Royals playoff game in his life, not
because he had other time commitments
or a lack of monetary means, but because
the Royals have never made a playoff
game in his life.
The Royals have gone a combined
1850-2478 in the past 26 seasons, an
average of 71-95. During the 1994-1995
season, when they actually had a half-
legitimate shot at sneaking into the play-
offs, the league went on strike, and the
season was forfeited.
The Royals traded away young tal-
ent to win now. They brought in some
solid starting pitching to complement an
exceptional bullpen backed by one of the
leagues best defenses, a decent lineup,
and a somewhat competent manager,
despite his obsession with bunting run-
ners over to second with less than two
outs.
I want to say that the Royals will break
the longest playoff-less dry spell in all
American professional sports. I think we
all would like to see them play a mean-
ingful game in September. But then again,
Ive learned to love them for who they
are. A minor-league team playing in a
major league ballpark, with catch-phrases
like True. Blue. Tradition, We Believe,
and Our Time.
I credit them for my self-deprecating
sense of humor and humility. I learned
how to make fun of myself and to not
take myself too seriously thanks to four
100-loss seasons in five years.
The Royals inadequacies have tattered
us all. While they are poised to evenutally
make the playoffs, they probably wont.
They are the Royals. And I still love them.
*Jon Doe is purely a fictional character
in a real-life scenario that many 27 year
old Royals fans have endured. God bless us.

Jayhawks face spires in midweek matchup
Drew Morovick has appeared
in seven games, including two
starts this year. Morovick flled
in for Tanner Poppe last month
and get some reps as a starter.
Morovick has pitched eight
strikeouts and fve walks off 19
and one-third innings this year.
as Kansas gets ready for its sec-
ond of fve games this week, the
offense will be back on the feld
again after taking on Creighton
Tuesday. The Jayhawks offense
has managed to get on base, but
have only three home runs, two
of them from senior frst base-
man alex Deleon and one from
sophomore right felder Dakota
smith.
Kansas .973 felding per-
centage is a step back after
committing multiple errors
against Creighton on Tues-
day. Kansas has to be able
to contain its throws and
possessions and limit oppo-
nents on the bases.
Cade brummer and stephen
Malisa both have more than 20
strikeouts on the season, but
combine for a record of 3-6 and
own one-third of saint Marys
wins on the season. saint Mary,
an NaIa school, may go through
a lot of pitchers when facing
Kansas. saint Marys starting
pitcher against Kansas will be
a game-time decision.
The spires lack a lot of
power behind the plate. Ju-
nior frst baseman Joe Haak
has the sole home run for
the team as they are hit-
ting .279 on the year. With
Morovick on the mound for
Kansas, the spires hope to
make a run against him.
saint Mary has committed
29 errors and has a felding
percentage of .962 on the
year so far. The spires must
step up and do a better job of
collecting balls to keep Kan-
sas off the bases. If saint
Mary struggles, Kansas can
use its speed to steal bases
and rack up a lot of runs.
PITCHeR PRobleMs
The Creighton Bluejays had
Tanner Poppes number early
Tuesday evening with five runs
in the second inning, allowing
them to win 6-4, handing the
Jayhawks their first home loss of
the season. Poppe, who pitched
four innings, did not have the
outing he wished for Tuesday
evening against Creighton.
Junior center fielder Mike
Gerber got things going in the
second inning for the Bluejays
with a home run to right field. By
the time Poppe faced his eighth
batter in the second inning, the
Bluejays took control. Poppe
walked sophomore catcher Kev-
in Lamb. This allowed senior
shortstop Alex Staehely to score
the second run of the game for
Creighton. Poppe surrendered a
run against his next three batters
of that inning.
That was a tough inning for
us, Poppe said. I kind of got be-
hind hitters, leaving pitches out.
I walked guys and hit guys and
got guys on base. Its kind of my
fault for putting myself in a bad
situation.
Poppe allowed four hits and
walked three batters and was
charged with the loss. He sits at
1-2 on the season.
After a big inning like that,
you just have to clear your mind
and go back out there, Poppe
said.
Poppe had an MRI Monday
and has missed two starts in the
last month because of a back in-
jury. Poppe said he doesnt feel a
lot of pain in his body now and
has been able to overcome it.
Poppe was unable to pitch last
month because cancellations
and injury. He said he felt good
physically being on the mound
for the first time since the March
20 matchup against BYU.
We didnt know until before
the game if hed be able to go out
there, Kansas coach Ritch Price
said. The one positive thing for
me was that he took the baseball,
went on the mound, and threw
90, 91 miles per hour. He man-
aged to grind through that bad
inning and pitch four innings. I
look at it as a big step forward
because he couldnt even pitch
last week.
After Poppes four innings,
Kansas brought four pitchers
from the bullpen, including
junior starting pitcher Frank
Duncan, who was limited to two
innings. Because Duncan came
out of the bullpen, Price said the
weekend starting rotation will
flip, and senior Thomas Taylor
will pitch Friday instead.
Kansas returns to Hoglund
Ballpark today to take on the
Saint Mary Spires. The game
was added to make up for can-
cellations earlier this season.
Price knows that Saint Mary, an
NAIA team from Leavenworth,
will look forward to coming to
Lawrence and playing Kansas
tonight.
I think that they are going to
walk in here like every non-Divi-
sion I team and they are ecstatic
to play here, Price said. They
are almost all Kansas kids that
grew up being a Jayhawk fan.
This game is the highlight game
for them.
Price said he hopes to in-
clude some of the younger play-
ers in the program who have not
played much this season. Price
can use this game as a develop-
mental game to try to give them
experience.
Sophomore pitcher Drew
Morovick will start for Kansas
against the Spires. Morovick has
appeared in seven games and
started in two. Price called Mo-
rovick a strike thrower, as his
pitches have been consistent as
a starter and coming out of the
bullpen.
He has an earned run average
of 2.79, and has thrown eight
strikeouts and five walks in 19
one-third innings.
Its just another outing for
me, Morovick said. Im look-
ing to put my team in position to
win after a loss.

senior frst baseman alex Deleon takes a hard hit grounder in the top of the 5th inning. Deleon went 2 for 5 with 1 RbI in
Tuesdays loss against Creighton.
T
he question is no longer
why? but when?
We know the why.
Why coaches like Rutgers Mike
Rice and Texas Techs Billy
Gillispie think they have the right
to take someones child, some kid
who came to college to better his
life, and treat them like dogs.
No, dog isnt the right word.
Legendary Michigan football
coach Bo Schembechler repeat-
edly said he treated his players like
dogs, but he never did anything
like this.
Using derogatory slurs, pushing
players, throwing basketballs at
their heads and personally attack-
ing players. We know why coaches
do this.
None of it has anything to do
with basketball.
Some are bullies by birth.
Others let the power go to their
heads. Neither is an acceptable
answer.
Should we be shocked? Ten
years ago maybe, but were smarter
now. We know this stuff happens.
Were not desensitized, but were
no longer ignorant.
Hell, theres no reason to be
shocked on this campus.
Its barely been four years
since Kansas football coach Mark
Mangino resigned after allegations
surfaced that he had been abusing
players. On his resume, Mangino
touted an Orange Bowl victory,
the 2007 Coach of the Year Award
and the school record for wins
in a season (12 in 2007), but of
course that all means nothing the
second you decide to cross the line
between teacher and tormenter.
Its a stain that not even Stanley
Steemer can remove.
Even with his accolades and
proven coaching abilities, it
took Mangino until last month
to get back on a gridiron when
Youngstown State needed a tight
ends coach and a reliable recruiter.
And keep in mind Mangino
wasnt fired; he never hit a player
and was never sanctioned by the
NCAA.
There were videos showing
questionable antics and reports
from players, but nothing ever
stuck.
Except for the stigma, that is.
Plain and simple, this is what
happens when coaches decide the
rules dont apply to them. Mike
Rice still has a job at Rutgers, but
for how much longer remains to
be seen. Whether he ever gets
hired again is an even bigger
problem.
Rutgers deemed a three-game
suspension without pay, a $50,000
fine and sensitivity training was
the appropriate action. But now
that world has seen the videos of
what transpired, that might not be
enough.
We know why this happens.
Why coaches abuse their roles
and why their assistants are afraid
to speak up.
But with so many players on
Twitter, with so many people crav-
ing to hear their thoughts, with
egos simmering, with kids getting
fed up and with so many opportu-
nities for a student-athlete to share
his or her voice, theres really only
one question left to ask:
Whens the next coach going
to fall?
