STATE LEGISLATURE WEEKLY RECAP

Liquor production, public consumption, renewable energy repeal bills in legislation
TOM DEHART
news@kansan.com
While University students
took a vacation away from
school, legislators in Topeka
remained at work.
Some legislation that
students may have missed
while on break include bills
that double the amount of
alcohol local microbreweries
can produce in a calendar
year, designate areas of
alcohol consumption in
public, designate state fossils
and a Senate Substitute that
repeals the current Renewable
Portfolio Standards for energy
providers in the Kansas.
A piece of legislation that
drew critical attention over
break was the creation of the
Senate Substitute for House
Bill 2014. Tis substitute
would repeal the Renewable
Portfolio Standards that
required Kansas utilities
to have 20 percent of their
required energy come from
renewable resources by 2020.
KEY BILLS AT A GLANCE
The Senate Substitute for House
Bill 2014 contains the contents
of Senate Bill 433, and has
replaced the original contents
of House Bill 2014 in its form
when it passed through the
House of Representatives in the
2013 session. Originally, House
Bill 2014 was a bill concerning
inheritance rights related to a
divorce.
Senate Bill 446 would allow the
designation of areas for public
alcohol consumption, as the bill
states in Section 1, A city may by
ordinance establish a designated
area located wholly within the
boundaries of such city where
alcoholic liquor may be consumed
on public streets, alleys, roads,
sidewalks, highways, parks and
such other open public lands
located within such designated
areas.
House Bill 2595 would designate
two state fossils, the tylosaurus
and the pteranodon, as the ofcial
fossils of the State of Kansas.
Currently, the bill was placed on
the Senates General Orders.
Senate Bill 446
Senate Bill 346 has the potential
to increase the production rates
of local breweries in the state to
30,000 barrels of alcohol instead
of the states current limit of 15,000
barrels. This piece of legislation
could increase Lawrences Free
State Brewing Co.s production
rates.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback talks during a news conference in Topeka on March 7. The Supreme Court ruled this month that the states current
public school funding levels are unconstitutional. Currently, the Kansas Legislature is hearing bills from the Senate and House regarding liquor
laws, the possibility of state fossils and the repeal of renewable energy legislation.

CAMPUS
Morgan Saids youngest sister, a 13-year-
old who loves cheerleading, told Said that
she wanted to come to the University of
Kansas for college.
Picturing her sister on campus years from
now, Said focuses her campus involvement
on longevity. She asks herself, What can I
infuence now that will still be intact when
she comes here?
Tis isnt only about us right now, Said
said, referring to the Grow KU campaign.
Its about the generations before us and the
generations behind us.
Said, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., said
shes familiar with every level of student
government due to her position as Student
Senate outreach director.
Tere is a climate in Senate that needs to
be changed a little bit, she said. Said wants
to make Student Senate a better liaison be-
tween the student body, student organiza-
tions and the administration.
With over 650 student groups on campus,
every student should be able to fnd some-
thing that makes them feel like they belong
on campus.
Tis semester, Said hosted a leadership
roundtable. She and a few other represen-
tatives from Student Senate sat down with
leaders from 25 student organizations to
discuss how to promote each others events
and goals.
Students who are involved will leave the
University feeling like they lef something
behind and that they were a part of some-
thing bigger than themselves, she said. I
want everybody to have that feeling when
they leave KU.
Said wants to make changes on issues that
have been around for years, like it being
scary to walk home from the library at night
because there isnt enough street lighting on
campus or giving students who commute
somewhere on campus they can charge
their phones and be between classes.
Teres still so much more work needs to
be done, she said.

When Miranda Wagner moved to
campus, she was a frst-generation col-
lege student who didnt really know
what was going on. She said she was
lucky to make friends who helped her
get connected right away.
She went on an Alternative Win-
ter Break. She learned about womens
rights in class. She realized she could
make changes and that nonproft work
was a viable option.
I realized I could actually make a
lifelong career out of afecting these
things, Wagner said. Tat defnitely
laid the foundation for everything Ive
gotten involved in since then.
Wagner, a junior from Shawnee, said
she has experience making tough deci-
sions. Tis year, shes helped negotiate
the athletics fee, student code of rights
and responsibilities jurisdiction and
the sexual assault training program.
Wagner said she got involved in Stu-
dent Senate last year because she saw a
wave of change coming.
A personal goal of mine is making
sure everyone feels really connected to
Student Senate, Wagner said.
Wagner said she knows student
groups that have been afraid to petition
Student Senate for club money. She
wants to make sure that students are al-
ways prioritized by administration and
arent seen as just numbers.
I care about this campus and I care
about students as individuals, Wagner
said. Tats why I do all of these things.
And being busy keeps me happy.
As she was growing up, Wagners dad
would tell her, Get a job you love and
youll never work a day in your life.
She said this is whats motivated her
to fnd a career shes passionate about
and why shes committed to making the
University a place where everyone can
fnd their purpose too.

Social media panel
talks free speech
KAYLA SOPER
news@kansan.com
As social media becomes
more popular, the defnition
of freedom of speech is being
tested. Tonight, at 7 p.m. in
the Spooner Hall Commons,
a panel of experts will
discuss the question, What
is Free Speech in the Age of
Social Media?
Frank LoMonte, executive
director of Student Press
Law Center, will be one of
the panelists along with Amy
Gajda, associate professor
at Tulane University law
school; Stephen McAllister,
professor at the University
of Kansas law school and
Deanell Tacha, dean of the
Pepperdine University law
school. LoMonte discussed
the issue in a brief interview:

UDK: What is a speech crime?

FL: Speech crimes are when
students say things on social
media that the school doesnt
fnd professional. Tere are
people who beat the heck
out of people drunkenly at
a party and dont get thrown
out of college yet some will
get thrown out for speech
crimes.

UDK: Are you dealing with
any cases of students getting
thrown out of school now
because of a speech crime?

FL: Tere is a case now going
on in Minnesota where a
student got expelled from a
nursing program because he
posted an angry Facebook
post where he vented about
things he
didnt like
about the
s c h o o l .
T h o u g h
he didnt
in any way
b r e a k
the law,
the college threw him out
because they thought he was
being unprofessional. Not
everything that people fnd
ofensive [are] grounds for
throwing people out.

UDK: What advice would
you give to college students
about social media?

FL: Tere is a big diference in
a tweet that isnt professional
and a tweet that you can
get expelled for. In colleges
legal boundaries arent
established. A lot of colleges
are going too far in what
they can and cant regulate.
It is important, as students,
to remember that there
are First Amendment laws
that a college cant cross.
Not all your posts on social
media have to be corporate-
boardroom appropriate.

STATE
Kansas House approves
joining health care
compact
TOPEKA, Kan. The future is
murky for a House-passed bill
that would allow Kansas to join a
compact of states seeking an ex-
emption from the federal health
care overhaul.
The measure, approved 74-48
by the House on Monday, seeks
to add Kansas to a list of states,
including Missouri and Texas,
that have approved forming the
compact. But a key Senate lead-
er said that there may not be
enough time to consider the bill
before the session ends.
Legislators adjourn April 4 for
a three-week spring break and
return later that month to con-
sider any unnished business.
The Senate committee that
would traditionally hear the bill
isnt scheduled to meet for the
rest of the year, Senate Majority
Leader Terry Bruce, a Nickerson
Republican, said. He didnt know
where the measure would end up
in the coming days.
The compact would allow
member states to set their own
health care policies while retain-
ing federal health care dollars,
but only if Congress approves.
The compact would allow partic-
ipating states to exempt them-
selves from other federal rules in
addition to the health overhauls
regulations.
Joining the compact could have
implications for some 450,000
Kansas residents who partic-
ipate in the federal Medicare
program if benets would be cut
and increase their out-of-pocket
expenses. It also could increase
the cost to Kansas taxpayers,
warned one GOP House member.
Associated Press
Video games are
traditionally played solo,
with a few friends in front of
a single screen, or online in
competitive multiplayer. In
each case, every player has
their own avatar. But a recent
social experiment, Twitch
Plays Pokemon, has handed
thousands of gamers the same
controller and challenged
them to work together.
Twitch, an online video
game streaming service,
started the experiment
pioneered by an anonymous
Australian programmer last
month on Feb. 12. Since
then, the crowdsourced
game feed in which players
enter commands through
a chat window has moved
successfully through the
Pokemon Red and Crystal
versions. Te feed is now
in day three of the Emerald
version, hovers at around
10,000 viewers at any given
time, and sits at more than 50
million total views.
Te chaotic game model,
constantly fooded with typed
commands corresponding
to the Game Boy buttons
up, down, right, lef,
a and b, has developed
a nearly cult-like following.
Afer users defeated the
Red version in just over 16
days, Twitch announced it
received an anonymous note
slipped under the door at its
headquarters. A small excerpt
reads: All praise helix! On the
16th day the fnal prophecy
has fnally come true.
Mike Marcus, a junior
from Shawnee, followed the
game with residents of his
scholarship hall. Although
he soon gave up playing it, he
enjoyed watching the stream
and found it to be more than
just a trivial time-killer.
Looking online, I was
really interested, as a religious
studies major, in how it had
developed a pseudo-religious
state kind of like the fying
spaghetti monster, Marcus
said. People come up with
scriptures and songs, etc.
Tere is a site with three or
four songs dedicated to the
helix fossil. Tats what really
sparked my curiosity.
From a psychological
perspective, Twitch Plays
Pokemon has also explored
what a collective, mob-type
group can accomplish. To
make gameplay more doable
in certain parts that require
more precise movement,
Twitch introduced a
Democracy mode, in which
players could vote their
way out of Anarchy when
necessary.
Mike ODonnell, a senior
from Salina, has participated
in the stream at times
and enjoyed watching
notable moments in the
group progress. He said
its not surprising Twitch
chose to experiment with
crowdsourced gaming
using a Game Boy game like
Pokemon.
Tats the thing: Its a
Game Boy game, so its pretty
simple, ODonnell said. Its
not a lot of diferent inputs,
just directions, a and b and
start. Its like monkeys and
typewriters and Shakespeare
eventually youre going to
beat the Elite Four.
For Rodrigo Chavez, a
sophomore from Lima, Peru,
the fact that so many users
have been able to progress in
the game and work toward a
goal is the most telling part of
Twitch Plays Pokemon.
[Tomas] Hobbes said we
create institutions because we
cant work in total anarchy,
Chavez said. Tis basically
proved him wrong, because
its a game that gives you its
own difculties that you have
to surpass. Just like real life,
there are random things that
you dont know when theyre
going to happen. But, even
with all those things, people
were able to work together
and fnish the game. I think
it can apply to our real lives in
that people can cooperate in
the end and do cool things.
Marcus added that while
Twitch Plays Pokemon has
been a fun change, he doesnt
think it will be a new model
for future gaming.
Weve reached a point with
video games where its gotten
to be like, Heres this, shoot
this, Marcus said. Tis
kind of just produces a new
challenge.

POLITICS
TOPEKA, Kan. Long-
standing tensions between
some Kansas lawmakers and
the University of Kansas
have been evident in recent
negotiations over the higher
education budget.
Te Lawrence Journal-
World reports that some
university defenders say the
disagreements stem from the
perception of the Lawrence
community and campus
as liberal in an otherwise
conservative state. Some
legislators say the university
has hurt itself by being slow
to recognize the reality of the
states budget problems.
Te tensions have been
evident as the university tries
to convince legislators to
increase funding for certain
projects, including a new
building at the medical center
campus in Kansas City, Kan.
Mike ONeal, a former House
speaker and now president
and CEO of the Kansas
Chamber of Commerce, is a
KU alumnus and supporter
of the university. However,
he believes KU leaders have
hurt their credibility by
not recognizing a change
in political climate in the
Statehouse.
He said the perception is
KU will do what it wants with
spending regardless of what
the Legislature authorizes,
such as salary increases.
Unlike K-12, the state
in terms of its relationship
with higher ed is not the sole
source of funding anymore,
he said. Te mindset of the
Legislature right now is, with
limited resources, what is
the states role in higher ed
in terms of the funding it
does provide? And, as to the
percentage of funding it does
provide to higher education
overall, what is the return on
investment?
University spokesman Tim
Caboni said the message isnt
lost on KU, but disagrees that
relations are fractured.
Tension between lawmakers,
University evident in budget
ASSOCIATED PRESS
F
or those who still
listen to the radio,
there is nothing
quite like the sensation
of hearing the start of a
familiar song. Ten again,
theres also an inherent
pleasure in discovering
a new song thats catchy
enough to make you
quickly whip out Shazam.
While both the old and
the new songs can make
any music lover smile,
consider a fusion of the
two: a melodic mixture
of old and new, creating
something entirely diferent
of the foreground of
something familiar that
is what I consider cover
songs to be.
At least, that is what I
consider a successful cover
song to be. I have heard
countless covers by various
artists where a well-known
song is simply taken as is,
adding nothing enticing or
exciting.
Sure matching the
vocal range of Beyonc or
Christina Aguilera may
show of incredible vocal
skills, but it does nothing
to establish an emerging
artist as unique.
Te television show Te
Voice ofers an exemplary
example of how a voice
must possess both skill and
rarity. Contestants have 90
seconds to win the coaches
over, relying only on the
sense of hearing. Perfect
pitch is always nice, of
course, yet the artists that
add personal fair ofen
capture the attention of
the coaches and audience,
leaving them to wonder
what else the contestant
can and will do if they are
chosen to compete.
Caroline Glaser, a former
KU student, competed on
season four of Te Voice.
Her unique voice and
take on Elton Johns Tiny
Dancer landed her a spot
on Blake Sheltons team.
Rarity adds the
element of surprise an
anticipation of what is
yet to come. I have found
such rarity right here
in Lawrence, whether it
is while walking down
Massachusetts Street or
walking into a music venue.
Weeks ago, I went to
hear the group Brian
Lockwood play. As I sat
in the crowded bar trying
to listen above the chatter,
I was surprised halfway
through the set.
What started of as a
cover of Michael Jacksons
Man in the Mirror, soon
evolved into a three-part
mashup that also included
Tupacs Changes, and
Macklemore and Ryan
Lewis Same Love. Tis
cover, produced by Gunter
Jones, sets itself apart,
and above, most others
by performing a fuent
and complex combination
of songs, taking a simple
cover to the next level.
A cover can remain
simple though, so long as
it remains unique. Most
Lawrence music fans
may be familiar with the
group Quiet Corral. Te
band has a wide selection
of original songs, yet a
favorite of mine is its cover
of Aloe Blaccs I Need a
Dollar. Tough this cover
sticks with just one song,
the vocal changes help to
establish the song as the
groups own.
Te digital age of music
has enabled countless
aspiring artists to promote
their music and to share
their work instantly. Far
too ofen I open my laptop
to start on homework, only
to discover that I had spent
hours searching through
new music and discovering
up-and-coming bands.
What simplifes this task
is being able to separate
the average from the
spectacular. Finding just
one thing whether
it is a signature look, a
prominent stage presence
or a cover song that makes
you stop and truly listen
can be all it takes to
propel an artist out of the
mainstream and into the
spotlight.

Note to self: dont leave bread out
and the heat on over break. Im
not sure there was anything left
underneath all that mold.
Not to brag, but I basically just
walked to class with Perry Ellis.
And by with I mean about ve
feet behind. But still. There was
obvious chemistry.
Am I the only one that noticed the

As weird as it sounds, I hope Joel

This new editor talks back too
much and Im not digging it at all.
Kansas weather is bitter about the
KU loss.
You know youve spent too long in
college when you realize your GA is
younger than you.
Is sticking your tongue out to catch
snow akes stupid? Because Im
getting some interesting looks.
Its really nice to be back in
Lawrence; where the rock is chalk,
the people are great and the future
looks bright.
Why do we have advertisements
for other colleges in the UDK?

After reading Both parties

Keep moving forward.
Cheap, shitty Chinese food is my

Any Captain Swan fans out there?
Well hello there Kansas weather,
were you feeling forgotten about?
Someday I will end up at the

but today is not that day.

A
n ecomorph is a
species with the same
structural habitat/
niche, similar in morphology
and behavior, but not
necessarily close phyletically,
as defned by Ernest Williams
in 1972. Basically, an
ecomorph individual lives in
similar conditions and has
certain behaviors and body
structures as others in that
ecomorph even if they arent
related.
All University of Kansas
students have at least one
thing in common: they are
attending college. While
that may seem like the most
obvious statement ever, it
is important to establish
that we are living in similar
conditions. KU students
come from all over the world,
establishing that we are not all
closely related.
If you havent caught on
yet, KU students have their
own ecomorph. While we
are barely morphologically
diferent from other humans,
we have distinguished
characteristics that are
adapted to the condition of
being in college.
Te University has multiple
hills to conquer. Whether
it is the 14th Street Hill or
Daisy Hill, KU students have
strong calves from walking
to and from class on the hills.
Tis characteristic of our
ecomorph distinguishes us
from humans blessed with fat
campuses and other domains.
Te KU student ecomorph
also has the ability to regulate
fuctuating stress levels.
Although most humans have
stressful deadlines and tasks,
college has a unique schedule
where most stressful tasks fall
in certain weeks throughout
the semester. While the other
weeks are not necessarily
easy, they may not be packed
full with exams to take and
papers to write. Also, college
is complete with winter,
spring, and summer break,
concentrating most stress
levels in certain months
whereas other months have
more time for relaxation or
focus on work and the stress
that accompanies it (at least it
is a diferent kind of stress).
Te KU student ecomorph
can adapt and live well
with others. Sharing space
with roommates is not just
confned to college students,
although it is more common
than other periods of ones life.
Managing living with others
and managing stress may
sometimes prove challenging,
so the KU student ecomorph
has specifc behaviors of
communication and resistance
to passive aggressiveness
to ensure a happy living
environment.
Maybe the KU student
ecomorph isnt as defned
as ecomorphs of other
animal species. However,
being a college student is
an experience that most
people only get once. So
enjoy the specifc changes,
behaviors, and conditions that
accompany this unique time
in your life.

T
he geopolitical unrest
in Europe has some
political pundits
talking about using energy as
a policy tool.
If you havent already
heard, Ukrainians overthrew
their government earlier
this year and Russia
capitalized by occupying
Crimea, an autonomous
region of Ukraine with
military importance. Its
widely accepted, or at least
hoped, that further military
escalation wont happen.
Rather, a battle of sanctions
and rhetoric will ensue.
Te Wall Street Journal
reports that most trade
sanctions, due to mutual
trade dependency, would
be as harmful to the West
as they would be to Russia,
but Russia has been an
important energy supplier
to Europe for ages. Can an
alteration to U.S. energy
policy weaken Russias
leverage?
Plenty of pundits would
immediately say yes. By
liquefying natural gas and
exporting it to Europe, the
U.S. can increase Europes
energy supplier diversity
and reduce existing market
power among key players
like Russia. Lets fght Putin
with energy. Lets cause
some havoc for Russia and
food Europe with cheap U.S.
natural gas.
Tats putting the cart
before the horse. Te
infrastructure to liquefy and
export enough natural gas
to Europe doesnt exist yet.
And the energy landscape
of Europe is quite diverse.
France has banned fracking;
Germany is taking green
to a new extreme with a
wide range of subsidies;
Ukraine is crisscrossed with
Russian fossil fuel pipelines.
Its probably worth noting
that major US oil and gas
companies, like ExxonMobil,
have signifcant investments
in Russian fossil fuel
projects.
It doesnt help that the
West, as a collective energy
conglomerate, isnt all that
coordinated compared to
Putins Russia. Te same
diversity of suppliers and
market forces that support
the Wests energy stability
makes it challenging to
make a concerted efort at
loosening Russias energy
roots in Europe.
Forget about coordinating
some energy coup, because
of all the reasons above,
and for the same reasons
trade sanctions wont work
on Russia: money. Te
incentives are simple: create
value by producing energy.
I doubt anyone studying
engineering at KU, with the
hopes of starting a career in
the energy industry, is doing
so to stife Russias energy
dominance. If the US ever
does export natural gas to
Europe, it wont be motivated
by weakening Russias energy
infuence. Im betting it will
have to do with the price of
natural gas.

FFA OF THE DAY
Authors Note: Tis review
was written in the Gonzo style
of Hunter S. Tompson. It is an
experiment of the pen.

Afer plopping down and
settling in, I leaned back and
observed the packed theater,
feeling surprised that a Wes
Anderson flm could sell out
in the wildly un-cool midwest.
My enclosed mind thought I
deserved exclusive rights to
this rare gem of a director I
discovered years ago, and the
reality of Wes Anderson
becoming a household name
seemed both encouraging
and appalling to me. But there
was little time for that sort of
complex, deep-seeded cyni-
cism just then. Te lights went
down, the previews rolled, and
we were of.
Grand Budapest Hotel be-
gins with a fashback. We see a
lonely, well-traveled journalist
(Jude Law) exploring a decay-
ing, yet still functioning, Euro-
pean hotel in 1985. He is intro-
duced to the hotels owner (F.
Murray Abraham) by the con-
cierge (Jason Schwartzman).
Journalist and owner then sit
down for dinner, and the sto-
ry of the owners grand ac-
quisition of the hotel begins.
Te owner tells of his younger
days, when he started work
at the hotel as a lobby boy in
the late 1930s. Upon his ar-
rival, the lobby boy, who goes
by Zero (Tony Revolori), is
tucked under the wing of head
concierge M. Gustav (Ralph
Fiennes), who acts as Zeros
boss, mentor and father fgure
as the flm progresses. Afer
the two frst meet, Gustav fnds
himself in a bit of a ruse caused
by his unslakable infatuation
with elderly blondes who stay
at the hotel. One of his long-
time lovers, Madame D. (Tilda
Swinton), is found dead and
leaves Gustav a priceless paint-
ing called Boy With Apple in
her will. Madame D.s furious
relatives vow to stop Gustav
from ever receiving the paint-
ing, but with Zeros help, Gus-
tav steals it and starts a hilari-
ous and quirky chain of events.
Explaining past this point
would be in violation of my in-
ner movie-conscience, because
I believe you must see the flm
for yourself. Te plot provides
a fendishly entertaining dis-
traction from reality that is
much more satisfying than any
drug, and in order to fully ap-
preciate it you should immerse
yourself in it. Tis idea of an
escape from the physical and
social confnes of our world
defnes Andersons style, and
the idiosyncrasies of Grand
Budapest Hotel cement him
even deeper into this bench-
mark. In fact, the movie is an
absolute manifestation of ev-
erything that makes Anderson
who he is. It epitomizes his
classic stage-play-like use of
complex, brightly colored sets
depicted through a deliberate-
ly rigid camera. His usual live-
ly ensemble is back natural-
ly including Bill Murray and
Owen Wilson performing
as much innocent determina-
tion as ever. His quick-witted
writing, amusing background
action and comfortingly intri-
cate chapter-title screens are
here in full force.
Front and center is Fiennes,
a highly refned actor whose
exaggeratedly poised per-
formance as Gustav holds
an uncanny charm. Gustavs
character reveals a new side
of Fiennes that strays far from
his usual tortured or sinister
roles, yet still showcases his
capacity for emotional depth.
Opposite Fiennes is Revolori,
a new talent charged with the
daunting task of keeping up
with such a fnespun counter-
part. Despite such pressure, his
performance is sharply clever;
undoubtedly securing a spot
among Andersons ever-grow-
ing ensemble and landing him
background roles in future
Anderson ficks.
Despite Andersons strong
hold on his own style, he flms
all carry one weakness, and
Budapest is no exception:
writing substance. When you
look past all the colorful vo-
cabulary and snappy banter,
his writing is only able to cut
to childishly profound levels of
life. Tis may be intentional; I
will never know.
I am inclined to look at large
life messages when I watch
movies, so afer seeing and
greatly enjoying Budapest,
I have deduced this: While liv-
ing life by strict, elegant rules
largely because of his own
vanity and insecurities, the
real mission of Gustavs life is
to give hope, encouragement
and joy to those who have lost
theirs. Andersons flms follow
a similar set of rigidly quirky
cinematic rules, and I believe
he pursues a similar ambition.

NCAA TOURNAMENT
Upstarts Kentucky, Stanford advance to Sweet 16
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS Tere were
times this season that
Kentucky coach John Calipari
wondered whether his team,
long on talent and short on
experience, would ever buy
into the gospel hed been
preaching.
Seems like theyve bought in
just in time.
Afer knocking of Kansas
State and then ending Wichita
States pursuit of perfection,
the eighth-seeded Wildcats
are marching on in the NCAA
tournament. Teyll play
No. 4 seed Louisville, their
bitter rival, on Friday in the
Midwest Regional semifnals
in Indianapolis.
I told them afer the game,
Ive been hard on you, like Ive
been on every team, Calipari
said afer a thrilling 78-76 win
over the top-seeded Shockers
on Sunday, a game that wasnt
over until Wichita State guard
Fred VanVleet missed a
3-pointer at the fnal buzzer.
Its just been a long process
with these guys, Calipari said,
but at the end of the day,
theyre understanding whats
acceptable and whats not
acceptable.
Also advancing to the
Sweet 16 out of St. Louis was
No. 10 seed Stanford, which
held on through a tense fnal
few seconds to beat second-
seeded Kansas 60-57 on
a rough day for fans from
the Sunfower State. Te
Cardinal will play No. 10 seed
Dayton on Tursday in the
South Regional semifnals in
Memphis, Tenn.
We beat a very good Kansas
team, said Stanford coach
Johnny Dawkins, who was
considered to be on the hot
seat entering the tournament.
I could not be more proud of
guys.
Nor could Calipari, whose
youthful team began the
season No. 1 in the nation, and
then lost so many games some
wondered whether it belonged
in the NCAA tournament at
all.
Te Wildcats (26-10) were
criticized. Tey were dissected.
Tey were written of.
Ten they started to
pick up steam in the SEC
tournament, coming within
a hair of knocking of Florida
in the fnals. And theyve
continued to play well in the
NCAA tournament, beating
Kansas State on Friday before
knocking of the previously
unbeaten Shockers.
Andrew Harrison had 20
points, Aaron Harrison had 19
and Julius Randle contributed
13 points and 10 rebounds on
Sunday, the three freshman
starters putting the Wildcats
on their backs.
Tats a great team, and
they have a lot of great players
on that team, Aaron Harrison
said. It was a joy just playing
the game. Battling is really
fun.
Te game went back and
forth the entire way, Kentucky
fnally taking a 73-71 lead
when James Young knocked
down a 3-pointer with less
than 2 minutes to go. Early
answered with a basket for
Wichita State, and Andrew
Harrison made two free
throws for Kentucky. Ron
Baker banked in a 3 for the
Shockers, and Randle made
two more foul shots for the
Wildcats.
Both teams were making
plays, Wichita State coach
Gregg Marshall said, his voice
sounding tired. Back and
forth, back and forth.
Earlys two free throws
with 9.8 seconds lef got
the Shockers within 77-76,
and they got their chance
to add another chapter to
their miraculous story when
Andrew Harrison made the
second of two free throws
and Early pulled down the
rebound.
VanVleet raced up court
and called timeout with 3.2
seconds lef.
Marshall drew up a play that
had Tekele Cotton inbounding
the ball to VanVleet, and afer
a couple dribbles he took a
shot from the top of the key.
But it was wide the entire
way, clanking of the rim and
sending the Wildcats pouring
onto the court to celebrate.
Cleanthony Early scored 31
points and Ron Baker had 20
for the Shockers (35-1), who
hadnt lost since last years
Final Four while taking an
entire city and state on
quite a ride.
Youre going to go through
some humps in your life, kind
of like this one. Its tough to
see us go out like this, Baker
said. At the end of the day,
someones got to go home.
Turns out the Shockers were
following the Jayhawks back to
Kansas.
Andrew Wiggins was held
to four points on 1-for-6
shooting for the Jayhawks in
what could have been his fnal
college game, while Dwight
Powell had 15 points and seven
rebounds despite playing with
four fouls much of the second
half for the Cardinal.
To beat a team like this, a
storied program with great
coaching, great players, always
feels amazing, Powell said. So
as of right now were still in the
race and were still playing in
March, and it feels great.
Tarik Black had 18 points and
six rebounds for the Jayhawks,
but he fouled out with 5:25 to
go. Conner Frankamp had 12
points on four 3-pointers, the
last two in the fnal 23 seconds
to make it close afer Stanford
had pulled ahead by seven.
Stanford was 9 for 12 at the
free-throw line over the fnal
2:04 and needed all those
points. Frankamps second
3-pointer narrowed the gap to
59-57 with 14.9 seconds lef.
Anthony Brown hit one of
two free throws with 12.9
seconds to go and Frankamp
banged a third 3-point attempt
of the glass near the buzzer in
a bid to tie it.
I knew when that lef my
hand it was of, Frankamp
said. I didnt get a great look
at it.

SARASOTA, Fla. Manny
Machado is trying not to think
when he'll play next for the
Baltimore Orioles.
On Sunday, manager Buck
Showalter announced the All-
Star third baseman will start
the season on the disabled list.
Machado, who had surgery
on his lef knee in October, is
trying not to be disappointed.
"Go out there and get ready
and come back and help the
team whenever I can," Mach-
ado said Monday. "It's unfor-
tunate, but it's just part of it.
I'm only fve months out of
surgery.
So, obviously, I would have
hoped to be ready for opening
day, but it was just a longshot,
just a hope."
Machado was hoping to be
ready for the March 31 opener
against World Series champi-
on Boston.
Once he was slowed by a lef
calf muscle injury and scar tis-
sue, he knew he wouldn't make
it.
"I was just trying to get ready
as fast as I can," Machado said.
"Fortunately, we've been pretty
good but not there yet."
He visited his surgeon, Los
Angeles Dodgers team physi-
cian Dr. Neal ElAttrache, last
Tursday, and was released for
activity.
"Just keep doing the same
things I've been doing. Noth-
ing changes," Machado said.
"Go out there and keep doing
what I'm doing, little by little,
increasing things and hopeful-
ly get in games soon."
Showalter said during the
weekend that Machado will
have a rehab stint. Baltimore
executive vice president of
baseball operations Dan
Duquette said that Machado
has to pass defnitive tests be-
fore he rejoins the team.
"He needs to meet some
of these thresholds with his
running before he can play,"
Duquette sad. "And afer he
meets those thresholds, run-
ning, he probably needs at least
50 at-bats to be prepared to
compete in the major leagues."
RAINOUT:
Te Orioles' spring training
game against the Boston Red
Sox was canceled by rain afer
two scoreless innings.
Te game began afer a delay
of 79 minutes, and rain re-
sumed falling in the bottom of
the frst.
Jake Peavy of the Red Sox
and Brian Matusz of the Ori-
oles each pitched two scoreless
innings.
NO CHANGE:
Boston manager John Farrell
said outfelder Grady Sizemore
will play three straight days be-
ginning on Tuesday. Sizemore
was expected to play Monday,
but Jackie Bradley, Jr. started
instead.
Sizemore has not played in
the majors since 2011 when he
was with Cleveland.
NEW GUY:
Infelder Steve Lombardozzi,
who was traded to Baltimore
from the Detroit Tigers for
Alex Gonzalez on Monday
morning, arrived in time for
the game though Showalter
said he wouldn't have used
him.

Its not a question of if theres going


to be a young pitching phenom in
2014... Its more of a question of
whos next? Heres a hint: Yordano
Ventura.

winning season since 2003 last
year, it wouldnt be unfair to say the
organization has struggled for a long
time, proven by the fact that they hav-
ent made the playofs since 1985. One
of the most glaring issues theyve re-
cently had is their inability to produce
quality starting pitchers. In the last
decade, the Royals have drafed seven
pitchers in the frst round of the MLB
draf, and while a couple of these pitch-
ers are too young to make judgment
on yet, its safe to say that pitchers like
Matthew Campbell, J.P. Howell, Luke
Hochevar and Mike Montgomery hav-
ent exactly panned out. Some say it has
been a drafing issue, others have said
it has been a talent development issue,
but either way it has been an issue.
But, while Royals fans shouldnt get
too excited just yet, it seems as though
the Royals may have two homegrown
future aces on their hands: Yordano
Ventura and Kyle Zimmer. Te two
are ranked 26th and 23rd on Base-
ball Americas Top 100 Prospects list,
respectively, and, according to many
baseball scouts, they have the potential
to end the negative stigma put on the
Royals pitching development system.
Ventura, born in the Dominican Re-
public, has been working his way up
the Royals system since he was signed
as an unrestricted free agent in 2008.
And this season, Ventura will have the
chance to make an immediate impact,
as he was recently awarded the fnal
spot in the Royals starting rotation
afer four stellar preseason outings so
far. While its true that spring training
stats dont always translate to the reg-
ular season, Ventura has been impres-
sive, nonetheless, with a 1.77 ERA and
18 strikeouts in 20.1 innings pitched.
However, his preseason performance
stats arent the only things that have
many pitching scouts buzzing about
Ventura its the fact that the
22-year-old right-hander has
some nasty stuf. His fastball
can reach triple digits, and yet
many say his best pitch is his
curveball, which has a ton of
depth to it. Because Ventura
has these kind of pitches in his
arsenalif he is able to locate
them well he could be set
up for a great season and an
even better career as a Royals
starter.
Although Zimmer, the Roy-
als frst round draf pick in 2012,
will not be expected to make his ma-
jor league debut until mid-season, the
22-year-old is projected to be one of the
Royals future stars down the road. At
6-foot-3, 215 pounds, the right-hander
has the kind of size and strength that
ofen signify a durable, workhorse,
top-of-the-rotation kind of pitcher.
And much like Ventura, he has a set
of pitches ready for the major leagues.
With a little more fne-tuning, he may
live up
to the ex-
pectations
of many
analysts, in-
cluding ESPN
senior baseball
writer Keith
Law, who called
Zimmer the fu-
ture ace the Royals
have been trying to
develop since they
traded Zack Greinke.
So, can
we say with absolute certainty that the
bust-laden era of the dismal Royals
pitching prospect is over? No, this is
still the Royals, people. But, with pitch-
ing prospects like Ventura and Zimmer
actually making good progress in the
Royals system, one cannot help but get
a little excited.

Baltimore Orioles baseman recovers; new guy steps in
MLB
ASSOCIATED PRESS
March is a time for college
basketball. Te seasons ending,
conference tournaments are
starting and the Big Dance is
getting underway. For most
college students at a school
like the University of Kansas,
college basketball is all they
know in the early months of
the calendar year.
But for coach Ritch Price and
the rest of the Kansas baseball
team, these early months have
meant something entirely
diferent.
Te Kansas baseball team
got their season underway on
Feb. 4, against Brigham Young
University. Te teams played a
four-game series in a neutral
location in Peoria, Ariz.
Te Jayhawks posted a four-
game sweep of the Cougars,
scoring 33 runs in the series.
Senior outfelder Tucker
Tarp won the third game
with a walk-of single in the
10th inning.
Tat whole game was a
crazy rollercoaster, Tarp
said. It felt great to get a win
like that early in the season.
Te Jayhawks then travelled
to Port Charlotte, Fla., to
compete in the Snowbird
Classic. Kansas remained
undefeated over the four-
day tournament, defeating
Northwestern, Wisconsin-
Milwaukee, Mississippi Valley
State and St. Bonaventure. Te
ofense remained hot through
out the Classic, as Kansas put
up 43 runs over the stretch.
Kansas won its frst game
of the tournament on the
back of senior catcher Kaiana
Eldredge. Eldredges game-
winning hit in the top of
the 11th inning putting the
fnishing touches on a late-
inning comeback.
I had a chance to put us
ahead, Eldredge said. Te
other guys got on base and I
put a good swing on a ball and
put us ahead.
Senior pitcher Frank
Duncan took the reigns in the
third game of the tournament.
He went 7.2 innings, allowing
four hits, and one earned run
while striking out 14. Duncan
has continued that trend
this season and has become
a strong senior leader in the
rotation. Before Sundays
game against Dartmouth, he
was 2-1 with a 1.64 ERA.
Tat was the best Ive ever
seen his breaking ball, Price
said. He hit the strike zone all
seven innings he threw.
Kansas remained undefeated
on the season until its tenth
game of the season in the
second game of a four-game
series against Houston Baptist.
Te Jayhawks won three out of
four games in their series and
are headed to Stanford, Calif.,
with and 11-1 record to face
the Cardinal.
Kansas picked up its frst
series loss against Stanford.
Te Jayhawks lost two of the
three games by only one run.
We were one or two big hits
away from getting the sweep,
Eldredge said. It lef a really
bad taste in your mouth.
Afer 15 straight road
games, Kansas fnally got
the opportunity to play in
front of a home crowd at
Hoglund Park. Kansas lost a
heartbreaker to Oral Roberts,
8-7. Junior outfelder Connor
McKay recorded two hits and
two RBIs in the game.
McKay has been on an
absolute tear this season as
he leads the Big 12 in RBIs.
McKay is batting .305 on the
season with fve home runs
and 34 RBIs. McKay has an 11-
run cushion atop the league
leaders in the conference.
Its a combination of a few
things, McKay said. Its me
being here for three years and
just my comfort at the plate.
Ive been keeping my swing
short and taking a strong
mental approach at the plate.
Kansas traveled to Austin,
Texas, to face the Big 12
powerhouse and 10th ranked
Texas Longhorns. Te
Jayhawks were able to pick
up their frst road series win
against the Longhorns since
1996. Duncan pitched another
gem in the series fnale with
seven shutout innings and
giving up four hits.
Senior closer Jordan Piche
got the victory in the fnale
and improved to 3-0 on the
season. Piche was named one
of the 30 preseason candidates
for the 2014 senior CLASS
award, given to the nations
most outstanding senior.
Afer the series win in
Texas, the Jayhawks were
ranked 18th in the country.
Kansas looked to ride that
momentum into a two-game
series against New Mexico.
Te Jayhawks were unable to
capitalize and lost both games
to the Lobos.
Te Jayhawks headed
to Lawrence for their frst
series of the year against
the Dartmouth Big Green.
Kansas scored a combined 24
runs in the frst two games
of the series. McKay drove
in four RBIs in the frst game
including his ffh home run of
the season.
Te second game was
highlighted by the Jayhawks
frst set of back-to-back
homeruns since 2009. Junior
designated hitter Dakota
Smith hit a grand slam to grab
the lead and Tucker Tarp
followed up with a solo shot
of his own. Kansas fell 3-2 in
a disappointing series fnale
loss.
Junior shortstop Justin
Protacio has had a strong start
to the season as well. Protacio
has reached base safely in 34
straight games.
Being a leadof guy, thats
my role. Protacio said.
Everyone on this team knows
their roles and thats why weve
found success.
Te Kansas baseball team is
now 16-8 on the season and
2-1 in conference play. So,
to those still mourning the
loss of the Kansas basketball
team, walk across the parking
lot and spend an afernoon
watching Connor McKay,
Justin Protacio, and the rest of
the Kansas baseball team.
We still have to make
progress, without question,
Price said. But we have found
great success early on this far
and are looking forward to the
rest of the season.

COMMENTARY
Wichita State
outperforms
Kansas in St. Louis
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
sports
S
F
or the better part of the
year, Kansas and Wichita
State fans were locked in a
furious debate about the merits
of their respective teams. Each
fan base believed their team
reigned supreme and was the
best the state had to ofer.
While the two teams never got
the chance to battle and end the
argument, Sundays matchups at
the Scottrade Center in St. Louis
shed light on the subject. Tat
light illuminated many of the
weaknesses in Kansas argument.
Both teams lost and neither
made it past the Round of 32.
But not all losses are created
equal. Wichita State was the
superior team on Sunday, and it
wasnt really close.
Joel Embiids injury aside,
Kansas didnt look like one of
the nations elite. More startling
than that, many of Kansas short-
comings in December didnt
improve in March. Ill just chalk
up Andrew Wiggins struggles
as an anomaly. However, almost
every other active player re-
mained plagued by early season
struggles.
Naadir Tarpe continued his
recent stretch of lackadaisical
play. Te ofense continually
stalled under Tarpes leader-
ship, as he was unable to get the
ball to his teammates in scoring
position. Wayne Seldens shot
was of all day, and throughout
the year, Selden would go into
hiding if his shot wasnt falling.
Sunday was no exception.
Perry Ellis got outmuscled
in the paint and fustered
by Stanfords length, like his
performances against San Diego
State and Texas. Jamari Traylor
showed defensive intensity, but
made the same turnovers that
plagued him all year. Frank
Masons outside shot never
improved and he still couldnt
fnish in trafc. Once again,
Tarik Black was in foul trouble.
Te most important story lines
from Sundays loss could have
been pieced together by copying
and pasting headlines from
December.
Meanwhile, Wichita State
was beat by an underseeded
Kentucky team that was the top-
ranked team in the preseason.
Wichita State has two clear alpha
dogs in Cleanthony Early and
Ron Baker. Te Shockers talked
on defense, understood spacing,
and played of one another like
an elite team. Tey took care of
the ball, only had eight turnovers
and didnt beat themselves.
Instead, they were beat by a su-
perior team. Tat Kentucky team
would have beat an Embiid-less
Kansas by double fgures.
Fred VanVleet and Baker
would have a feld day with
Tarpe and Selden. Early would
eat Ellis for dinner and still have
room for an extra slice of cake.
Gregg Marshall appeared more
comfortable with his teams
strengths and weaknesses than
Bill Self was. Tats not to say
Self did a poor job with this
team, but rather that Self seems
to thrive more with juniors and
seniors. Kansas fans cant forget
that the Jayhawks had fve new
starters and replaced more than
75 percent of their scoring.
Maybe Kansas and Wichita
State will continue to motivate
one another for years to come.
More likely, Wichita State will
eventually regress back to the
mean.
However, afer Sunday, it
would be difcult to argue that
Kansas was the better team in
2014.
