sians are not alone in attempting to contain these threats. Gerald Mikkelson, a professor of CREES, explained that international forces are joining together to provide security for these games, creating a safer environment for all involved. Visiting Fulbright scholar and professor Dr. Valeriy Khan, an Uzbekistan native and Korean-Russian, said security is as difficult to measure in Russia as it is anywhere else in the world. Political controversy Another area of concern for international viewers is Russian President Vladimir Putins anti-gay legislation. These strict laws have inspired boycotting by some organizations, while others have blatantly flaunted their support for gay rights, such as Greeces rainbow-fingered gloves in the Olympic opening ceremonies and Googles pro-gay rainbow Olympic doodle on the opening day of the games. These protests have had little effect on Putins stance on homosexuality. The Russian parliament is particularly sensitive and paranoid about the whole business of gays, Mikkelson explained. There are lots of gay people in Russia, as there are everywhere else in the world,

University professors talk security, politics and conditions of the 2014 Olympics
and they are demanding their rights and equal treatment, and they are much farther away from getting that than they are in the United States. Khan explained that the anti-gay legislation is not as severe as Western media has portrayed it to be. The laws specifically refer to pro-gay propaganda that can reach children. This is not an anti-gay law, and actually improves Putins rankings, because he comes across as a strong man who is able to stand up to the Western medias criticisms. He hasnt had this level of approval among Russians since his first couple of years as president. Mikkelson also said the Russian people see the Sochi Olympics as a way to reclaim their status as a major player in international politics. One of the most important reasons, in the Russians minds, when they started making plans for the Winter Olympics was to, number one, re-establish Russias prestige in the world. Russians have a kind of inferiority complex when it comes to being compared with the United States, particularly. Housing and construction concerns Part of this media criticism has arisen out of the inadequate living conditions of international journalists covering the games. Photos and videos of unfinished hotel rooms in Sochi have flooded Twitter, even inspiring the account @SochiProblems. Omelicheva said the subpar housing for journalists is partly due to the migrant workers who built these new hotels. Their work ethic a cause of the unfinished hotels is a direct result of their small salary, which is still more than they could hope to earn in their hometowns. Mikkelson said the housing

After the first week of the 2014 Winter Olympics, social and political issues surrounding the games have received international attention. Security, President Vladimir Putins politics and inadequate housing for journalists are at the height of the Olympics scrutiny. University of Kansas professors at the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies (CREES) gave insight on some of these issues. Sochi security Security is as vital as ever in these Olympic Games, with attacks in surrounding areas and reports inspiring an increased level of security for airlines into Sochi. However, security concerns may not be as threatening as they appear to be. Of course, there will be lots of security concerns, but there is no way to assess the magnitude of the threats, said Mariya Omelicheva, associate professor and director of CREES. The threat is real, but it has definitely been exaggerated by the media. No one can say exactly what the level of threat will be. The biggest current threat to the games is the group Imarat Kavkaz in Russia, which has publicly announced its plans to disrupt the Olympics in some way. In addition, concerns about explosives hidden in toothpaste and cosmetic containers have arisen out of declarations from a Chechen rebel extremist leader and CIA detections of chatter. The Rus-

he said. It doesnt mean that gays cannot participate in the Olympic Games. If youre an adult, you can do what you want, but you have no right to make that kind of propaganda among children. There is no discrimination. Khan explained that the situation of gay people in Russia is not as drastic as it appears. If you come to Russia, on the street, everywhere, you can see [gays,] he said. There is no problem. It is an artificial problem, I guess. Omelicheva explained that Putin has actually become more popular among Russians because of these games; despite what negative press the international media have been giving him. If anything, Sochi unites the Russians around this project, she said. It stirs up their patriotism and nationalism,
Egor Agafonov
Q: As an athlete and a Russian, what is your opinion on the political and social issues surrounding the Sochi Olympic Games? A: Im trying not to concentrate on them. I know that theres always some noise around any athletic events. Personally, Im trying to support the athletes, because I know how hard it is to qualify for the Olympics, and its their holiday, so they should enjoy their presence over there. Its an honor to be able to compete for their countries. Q: How do you feel about Russias performance and how the Russian athletes are presenting themselves so far in the games? A: They are showing their best performances. Hopefully, they can improve later on and thats why Russians are looking towards ice hockey, because that is one of their biggest sports for Russians. So that is what everyone is expecting--for the Russian team to do well. Thats going to be the most important event for Russians. Q: What would you say to KU students who may not be getting the full picture of the Sochi Olympics? A: They should support their countries and cheer for them. Its an event that happens only every four years, so its very, very unique for athletic competitions.

CVS to stop selling cigarettes, tobacco

DARCEY ALTSCHWAGER
news@kansan.com Beginning Oct. 1, 2014, CVS pharmacy will stop selling all cigarettes and tobacco products nationwide in more than 7,600 of their stores. Its the right time and the right decision to remove cigarettes and tobacco products from our store shelves, positioning us for a growing role in the health care delivery system, said Larry Merlo, president and CEO, in video statement released on cvs.com. CVS estimated that it would lose about $2 billion dollars in sales from customers that enter the store to buy cigarettes and tobacco products. Ashley Hrabe, a junior from Salina, is the founder of Breathe Easy At KU (BEAK), an organization that promotes a healthy environment for all through a tobacco-free KU. The organization has administration and faculty support and is currently trying to gain student support for its initiative through student petitions. Its goal is to make the University a tobacco-free campus by July 1, 2015. University policy states that smoking is prohibited inside or within 20 feet of any building on campus. Anyone who violates that law could face a fine between $100 and $500. To make a campus tobacco free, the policy would include not allowing the use of tobacco products on campus so that would include anything from cigarettes to chewing tobacco, Hrabe said. Hrabe said that the program began with a slow start but is now picking up speed and recently received a grant from the Kansas Health Foundation to help pursue the organizations efforts. Hrabe hopes that CVS no longer selling any tobacco products will start a trend in the tobacco industry. She also feels that CVSs program will help her own efforts on campus. I feel like they are definitely going to be a strong influence on [tobacco use] not only at KU but also in the Lawrence community, Hrabe said. Carlos Calderon, a freshman from Leavenworth, has been smoking for the past year and a half. Calderon said on average he smokes about every three or four days but is trying to cut back because he is feeling the negative effects of shortness of breath and a bad cough. Calderon usually buys his cigarettes from a gas station or the CVS located on Iowa Street, but is still supportive of the action CVS will be taking against selling cigarettes and tobacco products. Its really good that CVS is getting rid of cigarettes because its saving lives, Calderon said. I smoke but I dont advocate for it. Its horrible and if I could take it back and not have started smoking I totally would and I recommend nobody start. Although Calderon thinks that CVS no longer selling cigarettes and tobacco products is a step in the right direction, he thinks that it will be difficult to wipe out all cigarettes and tobacco product sales. The FDA can try all they want, but smokers will still have their way. Edited by Austin Fisher

Lawmakers consider online education bill

TERRI HARVEY
news@kansan.com The Kansas legislature discussed a bill on Feb. 6 that could expedite the University of Kansas approval for out-ofstate, online programs. The law would affect the Universitys administrators, by simplifying the application and approval process for out-of-state students taking online classes. The bill would allow Kansas to participate in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement, or SARA, which creates standards for online courses and allows automatic authorization for out-of-state higher education courses within the state rather than seeking approval from other states. Julie Loats, director of the Center for Online and Distance Learning (CODL), said staff members arent concerned the bill will lead more students to choose an online degree instead of a regular one on campus. KU is looking to expand its offerings to students who cant come here, not necessarily to replace its offerings for students who are here for regular programs, Loats said. SARA should not affect the average student at the University; it is not meant to keep out-of-state students in their home state. Thats not really the point of SARA, said Raphael Schuster, a freshman from Seattle, Wash. If I wanted to stay at home and take classes, I could do that and drive to the University of Washington every day, but thats not the idea. The University offers mostly out-of-state, online graduate degree programs that are very specialized. Diede said that the majority of online students with the University are already teachers in their field and are looking to obtain a particular degree. Currently, all states have different approval processes and fees that are not regulated. I have to contact every state to offer these programs and sometimes they charge a fee, said Laura Diede, assistant director of the CODL. Every state can make their own rules; some fees are very, very high. I think thats where were going with SARA, to cut down on the
great expense of these Olympics, the government planned the reconstruction of Sochi long before it became the site for the games. Sochi has always been a resort town, and by improving the city, the Russians hope to increase tourist traffic, as well as present a positive image to the world. The Russian media know about the inadequacies, but unfortunately they couldnt make everything perfect in time, Khan said. But why is the world so concerned about toilets, and not the unique objects and technology that will be remembered for years? This is the main tone of the Russian newspapers. Khan stressed that viewers of the Olympic Games should focus on the true purpose of the Olympic Games the sports and not be distracted by issues that Western media may bring up. We should not politicize the Olympic Games, he said. The Olympic Games are a very unique event, and we should enjoy them, rather than find the problems. Yes, we should talk about that, but it shouldnt be topic number one. Edited by Emily Hines
STATE
The Kansas legislature discussed a bill on Feb. 6 that could expedite the Universitys approval for out-of-state, online programs. If passed, the bill would lower processing fees and wait times for out-of-state students. charges on the states. Obtaining approval from some states is costly and time consuming. From a cost-saving perspective it would absolutely make a big difference for us, Loats said. As a public institution that is accredited, going through a process of either exemption or authorization seems excessive for what we have already established as an R1 accredited institution. The University has spent $4,500 this fiscal year on application fees or state authorization alone, according to Loats. The University is estimated to spend $114,450 overall this year for first time approval and an additional $90,400 for subsequent renewal years. SARA could mean a significant difference in cost as well as time for outof-state approval.
A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE SINCE 1880

Its really just a simpler procedure, its not a significant difference for the University. It would allow the people who are processing to have an easier route to get this permission; it would be more streamlined, Diede said. If passed, the bill is estimated to go into effect in 2015.

issues are not a large concern to the Russian government. What concerns the leaders of Russia is the image presented on television, not the Internet. Those millions of people around the world who are watching the Winter Olympics on television arent going to see any of the inadequate housing, Mikkelson said. Im sure the Russian authorities are doing the best they can to ensure there is no investigative journalism going on around there they just want the oohs and aahs about who wins what and how beautiful all this stuff is. He also added that political corruption has likely played a role in the hurried construction. Nothing like this is ever undertaken without the people who undertake it expecting to make big bucks out of it themselves, Mikkelson said. Corruption is rampant; it is an organic part of the system. They are enriching themselves on this. The unofficial calculations always include a large subsidy for the Russians who are in charge. Khan noted that, while criticism has arisen due to the

Garmin co-founder donates $1M to KU

DALTON KINGERY
news@kansan.com Dr. Min Kao, one of the founders of Garmin International Inc., has made a $1 million dollar donation to the School of Engineering. The funds will be split in half, with half of the gift being used to create scholarships for engineering students, and half being used to upgrade and renovate the capstone design laboratories. I am delighted to support the University of Kansas in its mission to educate its students and to encourage engineering and technology innovation, said Dr. Kao in the official KU press release. Ensuring a highly skilled engineering workforce is vital to the future of Garmin, the state of Kansas and our nation as a whole. Dr. Kao, who has a history of supporting the school, has gifted more than $500,000 to the school in the past, not including the recent $1 million donation. The School of Engineering has had a relationship with Garmin for a long time, said Dr. Glenn Prescott, chairman of the department of electrical engineering and computer science. Students in the capstone design courses are building things, and parts are expensive, so this donation means students can continue to build some really cool things. Its really going to step up the wow factor. The capstone design courses involve teams of engineering students working together on a variety of engineering and design projects over the course of two semesters, with the second semester devoted to a special project of the groups choosing. From electric motors to acoustic synthesizer equipment, KU students have produced a wide variety of projects. Short-term, were going to be able to renovate the facilities and have more productive workspace, said Dr. Chris Allen, one of the faculty members currently teaching the courses. Its going to help more students achieve their goals and hopefully improve the quality and scope of the entire Capstone Design experience. Zach Garber, a senior from Overland Park, is currently enrolled in one of the Capstone Design programs and expressed appreciation for Dr. Kaos gift. Dr. Kaos donation means a lot to students in our program because well be able to afford the latest and greatest equipment, Garber said. Garmin, as a company, has been incredibly supportive of the School of Engineering, and that means a lot to us as students that Garmin thinks were a worthwhile investment. Edited by Austin Fisher
Story Summary
- Min Kao of Garmin International Inc. donated $1 million to the school for scholarships and the renovation of Capstone Design Laboratories. - Kao has donated more than $1.5 million to the program. - The school will spend half of the donation on creating engineering scholarships. It will spend the other half on upgrades and renovations.

More subpoenas issued in NJ bridge probe

the subpoenas. The panel on Monday voted to reject those objections and continue to seek most of the documents. Committee chairman John Wisniewski would not name the new subpoena recipients until they are served, possibly by Tuesday. The committee's actions follow last week's deadline for 20 people and organizations close to Christie to return subpoenaed documents. All but a few have sought more time. Lawyers for Stepien and Kelly asked that the subpoenas be withdrawn. "Ultimately, (that is) what the inquiry of the committee is who knew what when, and who authorized this, and why," Wisniewski said Monday. None of the subpoenaed documents has been released publicly. The U.S. Attorney's office is conducting a parallel criminal investigation. The traffic jams happened on four mornings in September, when the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the George Washington Bridge, blocked two of the three approach lanes from the town of Fort Lee, apparently to punish the town's Democratic mayor. The resulting backups delayed emergency vehicles, school buses and commuters, sometimes for hours. Five people close to Christie have lost their jobs, including the governor's top two Port Authority appointees, Bill Baroni and David Wildstein.

TRENTON, N.J. At least 12 new subpoenas were authorized Monday by a New Jersey legislative committee investigating a plot by aides to Gov.

Mental health needs Religious can accept evolution; more attention, funds creationism harmful to biology
s history has shown, tragedy often brings about change. But with the string of recent shootings in the United States, one root cause is too often ignored: Americas failing approach to mental illness. Mental health facilities have had their funding subjected to relentless budget cuts, forcing them to cut back services or close. Compounding the problem further, an unenlightened cultural stigma placed on mental illness compels those suffering from mental illness to tough it out rather than seek the help they need. Americas approach to mental health is broken and in dire need of redress. According to the National Alliance on Mental Health, six percent of all Americans are classified as having a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia and extreme bipolar disorder. Despite the staggering need for mental health services, research conducted by the Treatment Advocacy Center in 2013 found that crisis intervention teams and mental health courts, which allow qualifying criminal defendants to receive community-based mental health treatment rather than simply being thrown into jail, are available to fewer than half of all Americans and even fewer Kansans. The lack of these essential services has led to those with serious mental illnesses being thrown into prison rather than receiving the treatment they need. According to the Treatment Advocacy Center and the National Sheriffs Association, this lack of services has led to three times more seriously mentally ill persons in jails and prisons than in hospitals. While Kansas has recently made an attempt to ameliorate the problem by reopening a closed facility, much work remains to be done. This lack of services leads to the issue of too few inpatient

Thank you, Bill Self, for your support of Michael Sam. Your support goes a long way in ending intolerance. Im thinking about joining the Olympic ice skating team in 2018...over the past week Ive become pretty good at sliding on the sidewalks w/o falling! I wonder if a sky picture of campus would look like an ant farm, with all the snow trails... I may or may not have, but denitely did, cause a small re in the underground microwave. The only time I make the UDK is when I get arrested. No, man with long board. There will be no longboarding on campus today, theres snow, ice, and disgruntled students. Forget the your/youre dilemma. Im starting TO see TOO many issues with to/too/two. Okay FFA, a half page on a border collie and only a page of black and white opinion section. The snow days must have been ruff. Editors note: That was a paw-ful pun... I love how an article on marrying young came out the day after Bill Selfs daughter got engaged! Winning! If KU doesnt do their sidewalks the city of Lawrence cant give me a ticket for not doing mine. Either Im going crazy or my dog just said Rock Chalk when I walked in the door. Props to the girls still wearing their high-heeled hooker boots while theres snow and ice. Not only are you brave, but you look good doin it! There is no way to say have a nice life without sounding like a sarcastic prick. This really bothers me. Great, now that appy bird is gone what am I supposed to do during class? Ladies, if you twist your hair in class and I see it... Im cutting it!!! So... A half-hour exam equals a half hour of studying... Right? To the guy doing Isometrics in his underwear in front of the mirrors at the rec: stop being an attention whore and do that at your home. Its so cold Im gonna freeze my face off! This whole class is watermelon licking. Well alright.
facilities where treatment can be provided. Further research from the Treatment Advocacy Center revealed that there are now only 14 beds available in psychiatric hospitals for every 100,000 Americans. The current statistic represents a 92 percent drop in available beds since 1960 and a 14 percent drop since 2005. Kansas also contributes to this shortage, and is listed by the organization as having a serious bed shortage. The centers recommendation for minimally adequate care is 50 beds per 100,000 people. This is especially pressing for the Lawrence community, which has no inpatient mental health facilities. Finally, the United States must tackle the intense social stigma placed on mental illness if it hopes to better the situation. If people feel as though revealing their suffering will transform them into an outcast and alienate them from others, they will choose to go on suffering in silence rather than seek help. This suffering then feeds destructive behaviors of isolation or violence. America continues to ignore the pressing issue of mental health at its own detriment. Without proper treatment available, millions more will continue to live life defeated and alienated by a system that wont help them and a society that doesnt understand them. We as a community and as a nation must work to avoid such tragedies. Jesse Burbank is a freshman from Quinter studying history and political science.
remember learning about evolution in biology class. My high school science teacher gave a short preface, telling us that he was only teaching a theory and by no means trying to challenge anyones religious beliefs. Other than that, science never presented itself as a problem to me. Most of the time, we Muslims do just fine balancing science and faith. Islam has a rather interesting relationship with science. Science flourished at the peak of Islamic civilization, in particular, the Arabic-speaking regions of the Middle East and North Africa. For example, the mythological constellations are Greek but the stars are Arabic. Religiously speaking, words related to the root word for knowledge are some of the most common in the Quran. Science was, and still is, important for determining the timing and geographical direction for rituals. Just learning about the world means reflecting upon Gods creation. Islam is not the only religion that takes little issue with science. According to MITs Survey on Science, Religion and Origins, only 11 percent of Americans belong to religions that reject evolution and the Big Bang. The Scopes Monkey trial has ended for

most organized religions in America, including for the Catholic Church. In the words of Pope John Paul II, The Bible tells you how to get to Heaven, not how the heavens go. According to a Gallup poll in 2012, 46 percent of Americans still believe that the creation stories in our Bible and Quran document what historically happened. People arent doing their jobs right: teachers, scientists, religious leaders and, perhaps, politicians, too, such as the Religious Right. Thanks to an elective course, I read Donald Protheros Evolution: What the Fossils Say and Why It Matters. The reading came at an opportune time when I was still trying to make sense of this apparent war I was supposed to have as a believer in God and as a lover of science. Prothero directly addressed the evolution versus faith dilemma: One of his main ideas is that creationists dont really understand evolution and mistakenly equate it to atheism when it has noth-
ing to do with statements of belief or unbelief. To those who hold fast to creationism, I would first ask them to look back at what their religion actually says. They might be surprised. Secondly, evolution is no more a choice of belief than gravity; its absolutely necessary to the progress of science and our survival on this planet. Lastly, creationism not only harms science, it also harms religion: If I were studying paleontology and my place of worship claimed it knew more about it than my professors, what do you think this would do to my faith? On one hand, creationism demands an impossible conflict between science and religion. On the other, it promotes an extremely simplistic theology. Believing that the universe was created in the same way we would make a television is an affront to God. It also does a disservice to the kind of spirituality many of us need in our technology-centered 21st century. Just as science keeps up with our scientific curiosity, religion must also stay relevant as much as it remains an important aspect in our species spiritual lives.

Stores such as Arizona Trading Company and St. Johns Rummage House sound like ber-hipster, thrift shop gold mines for some students. For many, theyre just somewhere to find a bargain while exploring Lawrence. For others, theyre the only way they can get clothing. St. Johns Rummage House, at 1229 Vermont St., and the Social Service League, at 905 Rhode Island St., always take donations. The Social Service League has only really been a thrift store since the early 80s, but it is the longest running charity organization in Lawrence. We have people who have been coming in here for decades, said Kendra Davis, an employee at the Social Service League. We have lots of treasure hunters. Visiting the Social Service

League or other thrift stores could mean finding the perfect sweater, but they also mean a lot more to the community of Lawrence. For the people who use these stores as essential resources the poor, the underprivileged and the homeless it can mean the difference between staying warm for the winter or not. We have a lot of people who fall through the cracks here in Lawrence, Davis said. The Social Service League is a resource that these people can use to come and get what they really need. The store provides for a wide range of people in the Lawrence community. It gets all of its clothes through donations and other clothing drives, such as the prom dress drive happening now until its giveaway on Feb. 15. The Social Service League storefront is a small red door
leading to a basement not commonly filled with college students, with a very different feel from Arizona Trading Company, a popular local thrift store. The Social Service Leagues attitude is that people need stuff and theres a river of it flowing, said Jean Ann Pike, the store manager. Social Service League and St. Johns Rummage House are open to working with University students who want to volunteer to keep these places functioning as resources for Lawrence residents. Goodwill, at 2200 West 31st St., and Salvation Army, at 1601 West 23rd St., also take donations. Treasure hunters searching for that perfect deal can help other treasure hunters looking for their basic needs. Edited by Austin Fisher

Planning meals saves time, money for students

HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
entertain@kansan.com For students who live offcampus and are in class for hours at a time, it is tempting to spend hard earned savings at The Underground or other food locations. However, overpriced and minimally nutritious food can make eating regularly on campus hazardous for both the waistline and wallet. BlueHealthAdvantage. com averaged a $7 meal price and multiplied it by 20, the approximate number of working days in a month, calculating that eating out once per day costs $140 per month and nearly $1,700 per year. BlueHealth estimated thats enough money to buy two round trip plane tickets to Europe or lease a brand new economy car. Weekly meal planning and preparation may intimidate some, but it can be made simple and will save you a large amount of cash. There are many affordable, healthy and easy ways to prepare meals perfect for those on-the-go. When planning meals, always go straight to protein. It will keep a growling stomach from interrupting lectures and provide energy. Grilled chicken or low fat turkey burgers are never a wrong choice. Pair this with brown rice and fresh or steamed veggies for a portable low calorie meal. All of these items will stay fresh for several days, allowing refrigerator storage and ability to cook in multiples. necessary groceries for one week, the chance of food going to waste lessens, and purchase value increases. Keep an eye out for coupons and attempt to budget the weekly meals cost. Jenny Parker, a sophomore from Wichita, has made healthy, budget-friendly eating a part of her everyday life. Spending an average of $40 a week, Parker maintains a healthy lifestyle on a students budget. Parkers favorite dinner is half of a chicken breast baked with Turmeric and veggies. She cuts up zucchini, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and squash, adds lemon juice and pepper, then bakes it all. Afterwards, Parker puts the veggies and chicken in a Tupperware container and refrigerate them. All in all, the whole prep and cooking time probably takes me two hours, but then I have all my meals for the week, said Parker. Its so much easier and less stressful to come home and pop a meal in the microwave, than standing at my fridge and choosing something thats faster rather than healthy. Edited by Krista Montgomery

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
PASADENA, Calif. _ Ever since she was a little girl, actress Laura Vandervoort has chased perfection. While she wishes she could escape it, she understands that its shaped her life. It led her to triumph in martial arts, earning a second-degree black belt, and it propelled her into the acting field. It turned out that both skills earned her to starring role in the Syfys edgy version of the werewolf legend, Bitten, airing Monday nights. Im the hardest on myself, she nods, seated in a wing chair in the foyer of a hotel here. No ones as hard on me as I am. And I get nervous or stressed out or anxiety before a scene or before stunts. This time I just told myself to suck it up and go to work. Once you get through it and you realize not only did you get through it, but the producers and the writers and directors are all thrilled, thats a great feeling. Vandervoort thinks she knows why she cant stop stressing. She suffered from meningitis when she was just a month old and almost didnt make it. I fought so hard as a baby I thought there must be a reason for that and I should really try to make something of the life that Ive been given that I wasnt supposed to have, she says. She studied karate from ages 6 to 20. She also aced her grades and coaxed her parents into letting her try acting after she saw My Girl on TV. It was the first movie that affected me and I was crying as a kid. And I never experienced that watching a program on TV. I think thats the moment I asked my parents if I could try acting because the young girl in the movie was making me feel that way, and I thought, I want to do that. I want to make people feel that. So they let me.

Former teammate proud Michael Sam came out

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Former Missouri defensive end Michael Sams unanimous All-American season traces back to August, but it may have nothing to do with any drills he ran through during camp. Instead, it might stem from Sams decision to discuss his sexuality with his Tigers teammates. On Sunday, Sam publicly announced he is gay, sharing his story with ESPN and The New York Times. I think that helped him a lot, because he was under pressure, said former Missouri running back Henry Josey, who shared a locker room with Sam for four seasons. That comes with anybody thats hiding something, so Im proud that he had the courage to come out and now to tell the world that hes gay and hes comfortable with it. Several teammates knew about Sams sexual orientation before he confided in a small group of MU players during a team-building exercise last summer, according to Josey. In our program, were a big family team and during twoa-days, when its just us there, we like to go around and have little small groups, where we tell each other about ourselvesour backgrounds, family, girlfriends, Josey said. Thats when he first came out. It was something he felt he had to do. A couple of the guys knew already. Just for him to come to the whole team, it was a great moment for him so he could be able to relax and have that great season like he did this year. Sam led the Southeastern Conference with 19 tackles for a loss and 11 sacks, which tied the Missouri single-season record. His performance helped the Tigers bounce back from a tough first year in the SEC to match the school record for wins during a 12-2 season that included an SEC East title and a win in the Cotton Bowl. If Michael doesnt have the support of his teammates like he did this past year, I dont think theres any way he has the type of season he put together, Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said in a statement from the university, adding that it was Sams decision to focus on football and not make a public announcement during the season. Josey said the Tigers accepted Sam as they always had after he came out to the team. Its a respect thing, Josey said. We have to respect who he is as a person, and thats something that was very big. He knows who he is, and hes happy with who he is. Thats the main thing you have to take from it. You cant judge anybody. God makes everybody differently, but hes always been the same person and he still acted the same. It wasnt like he was somebody different after he told us. He was just the same person, the same person having fun with us all the time and being normal around us. Josey expects Sams future NFL teammates also will be accepting. I definitely think hell be accepted in the NFL, because Missouri also expressed its pride in Sams courage. Were really happy for Michael that hes made the decision to announce this, and were proud of him and how he represents Mizzou, Pinkel said. Missouri athletic director Mike Alden praised all that Sam has accomplished at Mizzou academically, socially and competitively in the universitys statement. This is a young man who earned his degree from MU, was a unanimous AllAmerican on the football field and now hes being a leader in his personal life, Alden said. He continues to display great character, courage and compassion. We are proud of him on every level. In downtown Columbia, people clapped while seeing the news on television. Gov. Jay Nixon and MU posted supportive messages on Twitter. Missouri star freshman 197-pound wrestler Jden Cox expressed appreciation for Sam. I got no problem with it, he is who he is meant to be, Cox said. I have nothing but respect for a man being true to himself. And no matter what people say about this, the judgment people should pass is his actions and character towards others. He is a respected person because of how he carries himself.
He knows who he is, and hes happy with who he is. Thats the main thing you have to take from it. HENRY JOSEY former University of Missouri running back
he wants to win games and thats the most important thing, Josey said. Thats also the most important thing to the other players. I just dont think it will bother him at all. If youre winning games and hes helping you win games, what else can you want from the dude. Of course, it wasnt just Sams teammates who celebrated Sams announcement.

sports@kansan.com On a night when both teams were battling and equal in the paint, the winner was the team that converted more shots in the lane when it mattered most. The Jayhawks were without sophomore forward, Jamari Traylor, due to an off-thecourt problem, but the biggest disappearing act was freshman standout center, Joel Embiid, on Monday during the 85-82 overtime loss at Kansas State. Joel was beat up, coach Bill Self said. The overtime loss didnt have much contribution from Embiid, who only played 18 of the 40 game minutes and didnt play a single minute in overtime. In a game where the paint play was the most effective, Kansas best frontcourt scorer, Embiid, only had two baskets in the paint. In overtime, Self went with the hot hand in senior center Tarik Black, who played

22 game minutes and all five minutes in overtime - instead of Embiid. Black was 4-for-7 from the field and grabbed seven rebounds, which was better than Embiids disappointing numbers. Embiid had six points 1-for-10 from beyond the arc and had to rely on their inside game, without Embiid. Both teams had 38 paint points, with only four points from Embiid. Embiid, who is the number one NBA prospect according shots and rebounding the ball. There were a number of times throughout the game where Embiid would hit the floor, get up slowly and jog back gingerly. For a freshman, Embiid has played a lot of minutes and looks as if he hit an energy wall; this showed on defensive. Embiid only recorded one block and allowed a lot of points in the paint. For Kansas to stay competitive in the Big 12 Conference, they will need all the frontcourt players contributing. Without Embiid playing well, the Jayhawks will have to rely on others to make up the scoring. Embiid couldnt help in the big moment, and couldnt help the Jayhawks capture their 29th win against the Wildcats in 31 tries. Kansas now drops to 9-2 in the conference, just when people thought that Kansas vs. Kansas State wasnt a rivalry. Its always a rivalry to me, Self said. Edited by Krista Montgomery

Conference play gets messy, KU maintains lead

BRIAN HILLIX
sports@kansan.com Kansas increases lead in Big 12 race With the help of a Kansas State (16-7, 6-4 Big 12) victory over second-place Texas (18-5, 7-3 Big 12) on Saturday, Kansas increased its conference lead to two games. If Kansas (18-5, 9-1 Big 12) wins its remaining home games, the team can afford to lose three of its last four road games and still clinch at least a tie for first place, earning its 10th consecutive regular season Big 12 title. Despite being in a comfortable position, Kansas coach Bill Self knows things can change quickly. He thinks the league is still wide open. Smart pushes fan Texas Tech defeated No. 19 Oklahoma State on Saturday, but it wasnt the Red Raiders upset that grabbed headlines. With seconds remaining in the game, Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart fouled a Texas Tech player as his momentum carried him to the front of the baseline crowd in Lubbock, Texas. Visibly frustrated, Smart proceeded to shove a fan, who said something directed at the point guard. The Big 12 announced Sunday that Smart has been issued a three-game suspension, which rules him out for road games at Texas and Baylor and a home game against Oklahoma. The Cowboys have already lost to Baylor and Oklahoma this season, and Texas has proven to be a tough team at home. Smarts first game back will, ironically, be against Texas Tech on Feb. 22 at home. Both Smart and the fan have apologized since the incident. Early Big 12 favorites stumbling Top-10 teams heading into conference play, Oklahoma State (16-7, 4-6) and Baylor (14-9, 2-8) have tumbled to seventh and ninth places, respectively, in the Big 12. Ranked as high as No. 5 this season, the Cowboys have lost four consecutive games and five of their last six. That includes two home losses in a span of two days capped off by a triple-overtime loss to Iowa State. The Cowboys, who were picked in the preseason as co-favorites with Kansas to win the Big 12, are no longer ranked in the Top 25 of the Associated Press poll. Things arent likely to get better quickly as Smart serves his three-game suspension. Coming into conference play ranked No. 7 with just one loss, the Bears have arguably been the biggest disappointment in the conference this season. Predicted to finish third in the conference in the preseason, Baylor has even struggled to win on its home court, where it has lost four straight games. With only two games left against teams currently ranked in the Top 25, the Bears need to finish strong as their NCAA tournament hopes are in serious jeopardy. Ejim scores 48 in win over TCU Iowa State forward Melvin Ejim, who averages a leagueleading 19.8 points per game, lit up Texas Christian University on Saturday. He scored a conference-record 48 points, made 20 of his 24 field goal attempts and hauled down a career-high 18 rebounds. He scored 20 straight points in the second half for Iowa State, who has ascended to No. 11 in the Associated Press poll. Ejim broke the previous record of 44 points set by Kansas State guard Denis Clemente in January 2009 and Kansas State forward Michael Beasley in February 2008. Edited by Tara Bryant

Rivalry in womens hockey becomes border brawl

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
SOCHI, Russia As North American neighbors, Canada and the United States generally enjoy a good relationship, but in womens ice hockey, that friendship ends at the Zamboni door. The U.S.-Canada rivalry might be the strongest in Olympic sports, mens or womens. The two adversaries are by far the best in the world, so dominant in their sport that at the last Olympics, many observers worried about the future of womens hockey if other nations didnt step up their game. Countries such as Finland, Switzerland, Russia and Germany have improved, but for now, those teams appear to be little more than warm-ups. On Wednesday, the powers face off in preliminary play of the Olympic hockey tournament. They bring a history of competition, respect and, recently, a pair of fist-slinging brawls. Once you get on the ice, theres no friends on that team. Youre playing Canada, said Anne Schleper, a defenseman for Team USA. Canadian forward Jayna Hefford, who has four Olympic medals, offered a bit of a backhanded compliment to her opponents: You want to play the best, and next to us, the Americans are it. Lou Vairo, coach of the 1984 U.S. mens Olympic hockey team, called the clash one of the fiercest in hockey. Its a very fierce rivalry, he said. Jeez, as far as I can remember, all of the deciding big games have basically been decided in overtime or shoot-outs. Thats how close it is. And I think its that close again this time. In many cases, the North American players are just bigger. At its opening game Saturday, Canada towered over its Swiss opponents. The Swiss has three players at least 5-foot-8. Canada has 12. The Swiss players were scrappy, darting among their opponents and slinging elbows, but Canada won 5-0. Team USA, meanwhile, routed Switzerland 9-0 on Monday, and the Swiss are among the most improved in recent years.
USAs Meghan Duggan, Monique Lamoureux, and Josephine Pucci celebrate a goal by Lamoureux in the rst period at Shayba Arena in Sochi, Russia, Monday, Feb. 10, 2014. The USA defeated Switzerland, 9-0.

hen Marcus Smart decided to return to school, he probably didnt envision any of this would transpire. Smart got suspended for three games after pushing a Texas Tech fan who was jawing with him during Oklahoma States 61-65 loss in Lubbock. Jeff Orr, a Texas Tech super fan who was the recipient of Smarts actions, has been part of the media storm the last few days. On Sunday it came out that he called Smart a piece of crap. Smart did the wrong thing. That much is clear. Hes a 19-year-old kid who took out his frustration in an era where everything is put on the Internet for people to dissect. But Travis Ford and Jeff Orr did the worst thing. Ford, Oklahoma State coach, continued to fuel speculation by not addressing the main issue, which was Orr. He let Texas Tech write the narrative, which they did with the video. I know Marcus Smart, Ford said. Ive been around him pretty much
Smart hurts already-struggling Cowboys with his suspension

Orr voluntarily said he wouldnt attend the rest of Texas Tech games, which is laughable. Texas Tech had the platform to set a standard and it failed. No matter what Orr said, the athletes arent there solely for entertainment purposes, they have a spine and so should fans when it comes to this matter. Oklahoma States season has unraveled into a nightmare. The Cowboys lost their best interior defender and power forward, Michael Cobbins, to injury. They lost backup point guard Stevie Clark, who Smart tried to take under his wing, but Clark was later kicked off the team. Smart had another minor incident prior to this. On Jan. 25 versus West Virginia he went 1-for-7, which led him to take his frustration out on a chair later in the game. Smart has been fighting lifes cruelty from the start, including the loss of a brother to cancer when he was in high school. Smart ended up saying in a press conference that this wasnt how he raised. From high school coaches to Eric Prisbells column in USA Today, theres plenty to reinforce that. Smart is capable of reverting back to the calmer, hard-working player he was. He just needs a clear path for change and a sense of direction. Smart apologized profusely in his press conference and showed the humility that triggered all this praise. Edited by Austin Fisher

on a daily basis for two years, and undoubtedly, no question, this was not one of his finer moments. Fords job is to know his players; he shouldnt have to say that. Thats usually how things work between coach and player. Coaches mature players and build them into physically and mentally strong men. Ford shouldve explained how Smart will become a different person and how he will guide him down a path of smart decisions. Orr is to blame, too, and the role of the fan certainly has to come up for debate on where to draw the line.

KANSAS 82 KANSAS STATE 85
By Blake Schuster
his was the game Kansas needed to win. Not because the Jayhawks matched up against their in-state rivals. Not because the Big 12 title race depended on it. Not because of the AP rankings. As far as those things go, the Jayhawks will be all right. No, this was the game Kansas needed to point back to a few weeks from now when its playing somewhere in Missouri, or Indiana or, if its lucky, Texas. This was the type of game No. 7 Kansas needed to learn how to win so it doesnt stumble in March. Instead, the Jayhawks couldnt take control in overtime on Monday, falling to Kansas State 85-82. Bill Self is famous for these types of games: famous for pulling them out and famous for letting the opponents get the best of his teams. There is no middle ground. A testimony to a team's toughness is to figure out a way to win when things aren't going well, Self said. When you don't have that momentum and that energy, it takes toughness. Dont get confused, thats not a remark from Self on Monday. That one is from 2012. One of the good games, when Kansas came back from a 10-point deficit late in the second half against Purdue during the third round of the NCAA tournament. On Monday night, Self said the Jayhawks werent tough. They werent quick. They didnt guard. And yet, overtime: a chance to take down a team playing its best when Kansas was anything but. We actually played our best ball when we got down nine," Self said. Those last two minutes, when the Jayhawks didnt have a chance was when they seemed to believe the most. Brannen Greene was fighting for loose balls, and Andrew Wiggins was putting back his own rebounds. When Bramlage Coliseum went silent, Lawrence got rowdy. That was with Kansas unable to hit from 3-point range (3 for 17) Perry Ellis and Andrew Wiggins stumbling into foul trouble and an ailing Joel Embiid who Self said has been battling back issues lately unable to stay on the floor. This was a Kansas team that had nothing go right until the final moments of regulation. This could be a celebration of the fact that the Jayhawks were able to make it a game. Instead, Self didnt try to cover anything up afterwards; this is the type of performance that costs you in March. The Wildcats were stronger; they werent afraid of the No. 7 team in the country. They wanted them. Many things would need to go terribly right for any team other than the Jayhawks to win the conference. That shouldnt change anything. This was the game Kansas needed to win.

OUTPLAYED IN OVERTIME
Kansas matched Kansas State for two halves, but failed to deliver in OT
BRIAN HILLIX
sports@kansan.com The magic ran out. No. 7 Kansas (18-6, 9-2 Big 12) surged back from deficits all night long but couldnt hold off Kansas State (17-7, 7-4) in overtime as the Jayhawks fell 85-82 in Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, Kan. Kansas overcame a nine-point deficit with under two minutes remaining in regulation to send the game into overtime but couldnt sustain the momentum into the extra five-minute period. We just played catchup the whole time, Kansas coach Bill Self said. We didnt play well in overtime. Down by nine with 1:53 to go in the game, Kansas took advantage of two Kansas State turnovers to inch back. Backto-back buckets by Brannen Greene in a 10-second span slashed the Wildcat lead to three with more than a minute left. Missed free throws hurt the Wildcats as Kansas State forward Wesley Iwundu missed the front-end of a one-and-one with the Wildcats up by two points. After airballing a potential game-tying 3-pointer with less than a minute to go in regulation, Andrew Wiggins rebounded his own miss and laid it back in with seven seconds remaining to send the game to overtime. It was part of an inconsistent night for Wiggins, who scored 16 points but went 4-for-12 from the field and missed seven of his 15 free throws. I thought he made a couple of unbelievable athletic plays down the stretch, said Self, who hinted Wiggins should have made plays like that in the first 38 minutes of the game. Overtime was a back-andforth affair with the Wildcats holding a slim lead throughout the five-minute period. A short floater from Iwundu with a minute remaining gave the Wildcats a five-point lead one the Wildcats wouldnt give up. We didnt get any defensive stops toward the end, said Naadir Tharpe, who had a double-double with 13 points and 10 assists. They were relentless and played a real good game. Kansas freshmen got a glimpse of the Sunflower Showdown rivalry from the comfortable confines of Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 11, where the Jayhawks thumped the Wildcats 86-60 behind 22 points from Wiggins, 20 from Wayne Selden and 11 from Joel Embiid. Monday night was a different story as Wiggins, Selden and Embiid rarely looked comfortable in front of an energetic Kansas State crowd. Selden scored a season-low two points and was benched for freshman Greene for the later stages of the game. Embiid scored six points on five field goal attempts as Self elected to play the more-experienced Tarik Black late in regulation and for the duration of overtime. Self would go on to say that Embiid was beat up and needed rest. Kansas State has had one the best defenses in the Big 12 all season. Kansas didnt see much of it in the teams first matchup in Lawrence when the Jayhawks shot 56 percent from the field and scored 86 points, the second highest total the Wildcats have allowed all season. The Jayhawks saw more of it this time around. Kansas shot 42 percent from the field including 18 percent from 3-point range. No starter shot better than 50 percent from the field. Perry Ellis led Kansas with 19 points, 11 rebounds and two steals. He kept the Jayhawks in the game with free throws down the stretch and would finish 9-for-12 from the line. He drew praise from Kansas State coach Bruce Weber after the game. If theres an MVP in this league, its Perry Ellis, Weber said. He is a winner for them and really helps them. Kansas remains in firstplace in the Big 12 with a one-game lead over the Texas Longhorns. The Jayhawks will return to Allen Fieldhouse to take on a Texas Christian University team that is winless in the Big 12. Weve got to just move on now, Ellis said. Edited by Austin Fisher
