As of July 1, Kansas voters are now
prohibited from changing their party
afliation before the August 5 pri-
maries. Tose who are not registered
must register by July 15 to vote in pri-
maries. Tose who are not afliated
with a party can choose their aflia-
tion when they go to the polls to vote.
Under the new law, HB 2210, vot-
ers may not switch parties between
the candidate-fling deadline of June
1 and the primary election results ev-
ery year.
Tis means if the person you want
to vote for in the primaries is a Re-
publican, you need to register as a
Republican, Natalie Parker, a senior
from Overland Park, said. If the per-
son is a Democrat, you need to regis-
ter as a Democrat.
Parker is the director of commu-
nications for Te Future Majority, a
non-partisan student-led group that
started last year at the University. Te
group aims to engage students with
issues that afect them in the state
government and mobilize students to
engage in city and state politics, Clay
Cosby, the organizational director for
Future Majority, said.
Students make up a large pool of
unregistered voters, and the new vot-
ing law is something Cosby said he
believes students should have an in-
terest in.
We want to get information out
about the primaries in general to do
what we can to raise the level of stu-
dent engagement and action in the
primary elections because its pain-
fully low, Cosby said.
According to Project Vote, a non-
partisan, non-proft organization
dedicated to improving voter registra-
tion and participation, people aged 18
to 29 lag behind the general electorate
participation rate by 13 percent. A re-
port done by the same group found
that although 18 to 29-year-olds
make up 21 percent of the eligible
voter population, the percent of those
actually voting was 17 percent.
Sometimes candidates who are ex-
tremely qualifed do not make it into
the election because not enough peo-
ple vote in their primary, Parker said.
Representative Scott Schwab, chair
of the Committee on Elections, said
the law will limit party switching and
simplify the primary election process.
Tere are Democrats who support the
law, but the party switching is par-
ticularly frustrating to Republicans,
Schwab said, especially in legislative
districts with low voter turnout.
Schwab said Democrats sometimes
change registration so that they can
pick the Republican nominee to ben-
eft themselves in the general election.
Its really frustrating that another
organization is trying to tell their po-
litical opponents who their political
nominees are going to be, Schwab
said. With Kansas being such a
strong Republican state, that happens
a lot.
HB 2210 was introduced to the
House of Representatives on Feb. 4
by the Committee on Elections and
signed by the governor on March 25.
Parker said she thinks the law in-
tending to eliminate party switching
isnt necessary.
I think that it just makes things a
little more complicated, Parker said.
And anything that makes things
more complicated will stop people
from voting.
Cosby is also against the law. He said
he believes these election regulations
may be an impediment for students
who want to vote.
Our governance should be about
doing whatever we can to make it
easier for students to participate in
the democratic process, Cosby said.
Schwab said he didnt see how the
new regulations will make voting
more complicated.
What makes it complicated is when
people keep jumping parties back and
forth. Tat's complicated, Schwab
said. But when someone registers
and says, Im a member of this party
and I believe in their platform, and
they stick with it, as long as that plat-
form agrees with their values, how is
that complicated? To me that's pretty
simple.
Parker said that although political
and voting information may seem
difcult to access or understand, it is
imperative that students try.
It may seem tedious, but your vote
really does count in the end, she said.

12th Street reconstruction ap-
proved by City Commission
The Lawrence City Commission passed
the authorization of an emergency recon-
struction of 12th Street between Louisiana
Street and Ohio Street 5-0 Tuesday. The
reconstruction may overlap with the begin-
ning of the fall semester.
On June 24, an eight-inch cast iron water
pipe ruptured near 12th and Louisiana
Streets, causing damage beneath the road.
The reconstruction project will begin July
2, and funding will be split between the
Utilities and Public Works Department. The
City of Lawrence will work with Sunower
Paving and R.D. Johnson Excavating Co.
The project will require a change order to
PW1403, the concrete overlay and rehabili-
tation tab that was approved on April 1, in
an amount of $350,000.
Charles F. Soules, director of public works,
said that the process will also potentially
run into the middle of August.
We probably wont be able to make the
rst day of school, but were going to try
to get it as close as we can, Soules said.

Kansas Highway Patrols 10-day
texting enforcement initiative began
yesterday.
Te patrol is putting special em-
phasis on locating drivers violating
Kansas texting while driving law
and will issue citations to those who
appear to be in violation.
Kansas Highway Patrol lieutenant
Joshua Kellerman said he hopes the
initiative encourages people to put
down their phones while they drive.
Our job is to enforce the law as it
was written and to make the high-
way safer, Kellerman said. Tat is
the one plain, simple goal is to make
the highway safer, and getting peo-
ple to put down their phone is going
to help that.
Kansas law prohibits using a wire-
less communication device to man-
ually type, send or read a written
communication while driving. Te
law notes written communication as
including, but not limited to, a text
message, instant message or elec-
tronic mail.
However, people do not just use
their phones for written communi-
cation purposes, which makes the
law difcult to enforce, Kellerman
said.
Troopers enforce it on a case-by-
case basis because while the law does
address some other uses for phones,
it does not speak to uses such as so-
cial media.
According to the Kansas Statute
regarding exceptions to the texting
while driving law, the law does not
apply to:
1) Law enforcement ofcers or
emergency service personnel acting
within the scope of their employ-
ment;
2) A motor vehicle stopped of the
regular traveled portion of the road;
3) A person who reads, selects or
enters a telephone number or name
for the purpose of making or receiv-
ing a phone call;
4) A person who receives an
emergency, trafc or weather alert
message;
5) A person receiving a message
related to the operation or naviga-
tion of the vehicle.
Just because he sees a person us-
ing his or her phone while operat-
ing a vehicle does not mean he can
pull that person over for violating
the states texting while driving law,
Kellerman said.
Troopers must determine that a
KHP enforces texting law

SUPREME COURT
Hobby Lobby ruling raises bigger questions
S
ome of us may be confused
about the Hobby Lobby court
ruling thing that happened
June 30 and for good reason too. Te
case brought attention to various
political and social issues and raised
many questions concerning big busi-
ness and government regulation.
In Burwell vs. Hobby Lobby, two
for-proft corporations sought
exemption from the Afordable Care
Acts contraceptive provision. Te
regulations implemented by the law
required that most contraceptives be
covered by insurance for employees.
Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood
Specialties insisted that these govern-
ment regulations infringed upon
their religious beliefs and charged
crippling fnes, according to ABC
News. At the same time the Religious
Freedom Restoration Act prohibits
the government from interfering or
burdening an individuals exercise of
religion.
Te verdict: Hobby Lobby ex-
empted four of the 20 contraceptives
from their insurance plan.
Many concerns arose from this
including whether or not religion
is a viable excuse to bypass govern-
ment regulation, if women are being
denied access of benefts they work
hard to obtain, if a business is ac-
countable for its employees health,
and even if the day of conception is
the moment sperm meets the egg or
birth.
In 2010, Te Citizens United vs.
Federal Election Commission ruled
that the First Amendment prohibits
the government from restricting po-
litical independence expenditures. It
also ruled that corporations are peo-
ple. When referring to the Religious
Freedom Restoration Act, there is
much speculation on whether or not
a corporation could be considered an
individual exercising religion.
Healthcare is provided in the
United States by organizations
that are operated by private sector
businesses, 18 percent of those are
for-proft organizations, according
to Te New York Times. With this
health care system, a corporation is
not a public entity and does not serve
you in the way your government
provides protection over you.
A corporation is run by people who
operate their company the way they
see ft, not for the publics interest,
but for their own.
At the same time, people will
ofen review their health insurance
through the compensation package
that businesses provide when looking
for a job. Its up to the individual to
review and consider the parameters
of employment when considering
whether or not that business serves
their own individual interests. If they
dont, people are free to work for a
business that does.
While that may sound harsh, heres
a story that may put things into
perspective:
Cindy wants to open up a PB&J
stand. She hires two of her friends to
assist her. As part of the parameters
of employment, Cindy splits the
proft among her and her employees
as well as provides free sandwiches
for them. Business is going well until
Cindy reads an article that peanut
butter contains traces of trans fats
and is considered unhealthy. As a
business owner she decides that she
will only sell jelly sandwiches and if
customers or employees want peanut
butter, they must pay extra. If Cindys
employees and customers dont
agree, they are free to fnd business
elsewhere.
Its Cindys business, afer all.
Every woman has a right to take
care of her body the way she sees ft,
including a right to have contracep-
tion, just as everyone has a right to
eat peanut butter and jelly.

East of Massachusetts Street are
warehouses, brick sidewalks, artists
studios and lots of potential.
Tats what Louis Wigen-Toccalino,
who attended the University in 2003,
saw when he opened Decade cofee
shop in May at 920 Delaware St. in a
100-year-old building.
Cofee and pastries, he said, only act
as an excuse for people to gather. He
decided to not ofer WiFi and instead
focused on creating a central meeting
spot for the community.
Tey used to be where visionar-
ies and revolutionaries got together
to plot and scheme and hatch ideas
and discuss, Wigen-Toccalino said.
I want to bring back the activity, the
social fervor, the engagement. I just
want it to be a social space for people
to come in groups and talk loudly.
Decade is just one of the many new
developments in the Cultural-Arts
District of Lawrence and Wigen-
Toccalino expects the cofee shop to
thrive.
Susan Tate, the CEO of the Law-
rence Arts Center, said the area is ex-
periencing greater investment in arts
and culture than it has before.
Tate said the LAC won a $500,000
grant from ArtPlace America for a
proposal to revive the six blocks of
Ninth Street that connect the Ware-
house Arts District with downtown.
Bike lanes and lighting will be added
and a creative team will incorporate
art into the street redesign.
I think its really important to
note that whatever happens along
the Ninth Street corridor or in other
parts of the cultural district will be a
community driven planning process,
Tate said.
Te community involvement will
be headed by a director of arts and
culture. Te city is in the recruitment
process but Diane Stoddard, the as-
sistant city manager, already knows
the frst year of salary will be funded
by one-third of a $75,000 Kansas Cre-
ative Arts Industries grant to the city.
Stoddard said the rest of the grant
will go toward creating a city-wide
cultural plan to bring together dif-
ferent parts of the city rich in culture,
such as the art organizations, historic
areas, museums and community of
artisans and crafsmen.
Te specifc goals and strategies of
the plan will come out of discussions
with stakeholders and City Commis-
sion meetings in the future.
Whatever medium you want to use,
its those types of minds that we want
to attract, Brady Pollington, vice
president of Economic Development
Corporation of Lawrence, said. We
want to foster an area where entrepre-
neurs and startups can feel welcome
in Lawrence and start their compa-
nies here.
Wigen-Toccalino said he opened
Decade without even knowing about
the plans for future development, but
hes realized its an exciting and ener-
getic time.
Regardless of whether people have
been here for 20 years or want to
move or are trying to do some new
development or are trying to defend
the old culture, they are meeting here
which means that I did a good job,
Wigen-Toccalino said.

Interning
On Capitol Hill, 2014 graduate
Kellie Henderson works as a Foster
Youth Intern for the Congressional
Coalition on Adoption Institute,
which places people with foster back-
grounds in various Congressional
ofces to work on policy related to
foster care.
She attends training workshops
and meetings during the day to learn
about public policy and at the end of
July, she will present a policy report in
front of Congress.
She is among 11 others with foster-
care upbringings from across the na-
tion who have the opportunity to in-
fuence public policy and change the
current system for those with similar
backgrounds.
"I wanted to improve the statistics
for fosters to hopefully lead a path for
them to realize that they have an abil-
ity to go forth with their dreams too,"
Henderson said.
Receiving her master's degree in so-
cial work was a step toward her own
dreams. She entered the foster care
system when she was 14 and her re-
port is focused on providing informa-
tion to youths who are just entering
the system, something she wished
shed had.
Te internship ofers a small stipend
but this opportunity, she said, has
been essential for her working expe-
rience. Eventually, she said she wants
to return to school, possibly for a law
degree.
"Everything seems impossible until
it's done," Henderson said.

When Channel 5 asked Lindsey
Mayfeld to work as a news producer,
she said she couldn't decline the ofer.
She had interned at the Kansas City,
Mo. station during her senior year
and already felt comfortable there,
but experienced a great diference
between internship and employment.
"Tere are far less pats on the back
and far more expectations," Mayfeld
said.
Since graduating in May with a
journalism degree, Mayfeld said she
hasnt had second thoughts about her
education choice and is already fnd-
ing fulfllment in her career.
For the frst time, she's fguring out

Middle Twin prepares for tour
DYLAN GUTHRIE
news@kansan.com
Lawrences Middle Twin has un-
dergone a myriad of changes over
the past two years in both personnel
and musical style, but their upcom-
ing new single and 17 day tour shows
that they are still wholly committed
to their music.
Last August, the electronic indie
band formerly known as Brain Food
decided to change their name to Mid-
dle Twin.
It was a really tough decision, but
Brain Food didnt feel right for what
we were doing, said Eric Davis,
who plays guitar and synthesizer for
Middle Twin. We thought [Middle
Twin] was cool. Te idea is kind of a
paradox. I think it describes our mu-
sic really well. Its undefnable and its
between genres.
Middle Twin released
their frst self-titled EP
as Brain Food in Feb-
ruary 2013.
We really got seri-
ous with the band the
beginning of 2013,
Davis said. Joel was
doing Brain Food long
before.
Middle Twins song-
writing process is a collaborative ef-
fort spearheaded by keyboardist Joel
Martin, according to vocalist, Demi
Renault, whos Martins girlfriend.
Joel gets the bare bones. He either
gets the idea from a sound or a chord
progression hes made up, and then
he comes up with the structure and
the melodies, Renault said. Eric
makes up his own parts. Joel makes
up the start of a song and then it blos-
soms as a group.
Ive got a whole list of lines in
my phone that I piece together into
songs, Martin said. Tey start of as
gibble-jabble.
It is clear upon listening to Middle
Twin that they derive their sound-
scape from an eclectic collection of
musical infuences.
All of us have diferent inspira-
tions, Renault said.
Davis describes their sound as elec-
tronic indie experimental. Te band
cites musical inspiration from bands
like the Gorillaz, Radiohead, James
Blake and St. Vincent, though Martin
is also motivated by an urge to make
his sound and performances distinc-
tive.
Putting on an interesting show.
Tat inspires me to do some things I
normally wouldnt do, he said.
One particular element of the group
that stands out is Renaults classically
trained vocals. She is a 2012 Univer-
sity graduate, with a degree in vocal
performance. Her operatic nuances
juxtaposed with Middle Twins elec-
tronic and dance rhythms make for a
striking dynamic.
Another electronic music producer,
Wesley Tedlock, a senior majoring in
business administration, said he likes
what Renault brings to Middle Twin.
With a female
vocalist who is
as great as Demi,
you can have a lot
of expression and
textures with the
vocals, Tedlock
said.
Middle Twins
sound has evolved
since their most
recent EP, and
thats part of the reason they want
to get their new single Frozen Feet,
produced by Jim Barnes, out within
the next month.
Weve got a bunch of shows coming
up and I wanted to get some new mu-
sic out, Davis said. Weve come full
circle . . . Id say were electronic but
we have elements of pop, elements of
classical music, elements of experi-
mental music.
Tey are playing their tour, which
includes performances in Nashville,
Chicago, Madison and Brooklyn,
with a slightly diferent lineup, high-
lighted specifcally by the addition
of Garrett Marsh from Chanute on
guitar.
Middle Twin has traditionally
been a fve-piece band which in-
cluded Isaac Flynn on drums and Jon
Fitzgerald on the bass guitar. Teir
upcoming tour will be played as a
four-piece group with a lot more syn-
thesizer action, as Davis will step of
of his traditional role as guitar player
and double the synth power in con-
junction with Martin.
Teir next show will be in Kansas
City, Mo. on Friday, July 11 at the Riot
Room with Me Like Bees and West-
erners. Teyll be in Lawrence July
25 performing at Love Garden with
Ebony Tusks.

sion, but Brain Food didnt
feel right for what we were
doing.

Jon Bernard graduated in May
with a marketing degree and is
looking for work.
He's enjoying the free time during
his transition into the workforce,
but picking up odd jobs until he
fnds something full time.
Over the holiday weekend, he
worked to set up moon bounc-
ers and infatable obstacle courses
around Kansas City, but he's hoping
for a job soon that requires a resume
and tie.
"Come August, if I still don't have
something it will be a diferent sto-
ry," Bernard said.
He spends a few hours each day
looking on career sites and sending
emails to professionals and current-
ly, hes pursuing a few job leads. He's
searched for opportunities nearby
in Kansas City and far away in Chi-
cago but said he prefers to stay in
the area.
For now, he said he's thankful to
be living at home. It allows him to
not worry about bills yet, and his
parents are being gracious during
his search. He said his dad enjoys
his company and his mom ofers
encouragement.
Bernard said in the worst case
scenario, he'd enroll back in classes
or pick up something part time to
supplement until he begins a career
in advertising or product manage-
ment.

Ramadan, the ninth month in the
Muslim calendar, began on June 29
this year. During the month of Rama-
dan, Muslims from all over the world
fast from dawn to dusk.
Muslims fast to demonstrate obedi-
ence to Allah, by willfully abstaining
from eating, drinking and having sex.
Ramadan is a means for spiritual and
moral improvement and rectitude.
Wajahat Zafar, a University senior,
moved to the U.S. from Pakistan
when he was six years old and has
been fasting during Ramadan since
the age of nine. Zafar said fasting
makes him more considerate of those
who are less fortunate.
My reason for fasting is to please
God because it is obligatory for Mus-
lims to fast, Zafar said. Its a very
neat experience because you learn
how it feels to go through the day
with an empty stomach like millions
of people in this world.
Ahmed Alanazi, an international
student from Saudi Arabia working
on his Ph.D. in education and tech-
nology, started fasting at the age of
15. Alanazi said that fasting purifes
his body, and strengthens his self-
control.
According to Alanazi, during Ra-
madan, Muslims eat their frst meal
before 4:25 a.m., or an hour and a half
before sunrise. Te whole day of fast-
ing ends when the sun has set com-
pletely, or around 8:50 p.m.
Zafar and Alanazi said that they
dont fnd it difcult to fast while tak-
ing classes because theyre used to it
by now. Alanazi compared fasting to
running four miles every day it
gets easier day afer day.
Mohammed Aldhawyan, a gradu-
ate student at University of Missouri
Kansas City who also went to the
University for two years, said its eas-
ier to feel hungry in class while stu-
dents are eating.
Its a little easier to fast when Im
back home in Saudi [Arabia], because
everyone is fasting and you dont
think about it as much, Aldhawyan
said. Here its diferent, because Im
one of the few people who are fast-
ing.
Te last day of Ramadan is Eid,
which happens about 29 or 30 days
afer the frst day of fasting. Tis year,
it ends on July 29. Fasting is complet-
ed on the day of Eid, which Muslims
celebrate by having a big feast with
family and friends.

celebrates
the 4th of
July
Spanning several time zones, conti-
nents and countries, Jayhawks study-
ing and interning abroad this summer
all had one thing in common: they
didnt have to be on American soil to
celebrate Fourth of July in style.
On a holiday that represents being
proud of where youre from, many
University students decided to focus
on bringing American favor to places
that may have not been the wiser.
Alex Lucas, a senior from Den-
ver, who is interning in London as
a graphic designer with KFDS and
Kdot Online, spent the Fourth at a
few American clubs with fellow Jay-
hawks, junior Erin Fowler and senior
Sarah Kramer.
Lucas said while one club let them
in for free just because they were
Americans, there were also instances
where the British public had no idea
that it was an American holiday.
It was interesting to see their re-
actions, Lucas said. A lot of them
didnt realize it was our Indepen-
dence Day.
Despite some people not knowing
the holiday and what it represents,
some out-of-country students in the
same programs found their own ways
to contribute to the red, white and
blue festivities.
Lindsay Bloom, a ffh-year senior
from Overland Park, Kan., who is in-
terning with an organization in Dub-
lin, Ireland called ALONE (A Little
Ofering Never Ends), few to Stutt-
gart, Germany to visit a sorority sis-
ter, whos also studying abroad. Tey
partied with Americans and foreign-
ers alike.
Bloom said her favorite part of the
day was seeing how students from
other countries helped them cel-
ebrate.
A British girl made a red, white
and blue cake topped with fruit and
a Greek student brought another
American fag dessert to share,
Bloom said. Other students seemed
excited to celebrate like Americans
with freworks and hamburgers, and
some even sported American fag
shirts.
Spending a prominent American
holiday in another country was more
of an eye-opening experience for
some than it was for others.
Garvey Burrows, a senior from Mi-
ami, who is in Dushanbe, Tajikistan
for the Critical Language Scholarship
program to study Persian in a full-
immersion environment, said before
studying abroad, he took a lot of
things for granted, like food.
Finding an American burger here
is next to impossible, Burrows said.
Although he was homesick for
American cuisine, Burrows got the
opportunity to spend his Fourth of
July at the U.S. Embassy in Tajikistan
and, luckily, there were hamburgers.
All of the Marines and their fami-
lies who are stationed here, research-
ers and students came together to
celebrate the independence of our
country in the best way we could,
Burrows said. Tere were hot dogs,
burgers, corn on the cob and a lot
of other traditional American food
served.
Contrary to his longing for an
American burger, Burrows said his
favorite part of the day was listening
to a Tajik band play 80s rock music
in the background.
Food, however, seemed to be a com-
mon denominator among many Jay-
hawks studying abroad.
Bloom said the Reeses peanut but-
ter cups that a student got from some-
one who had access to the U.S. mili-
tary base nearby was one highlight.
We talked about the food we miss
most from home, and most of it was
food you would never really expect to
miss, Bloom said. Taco Bell was on
everyones list.
Other Jayhawks spent the Fourth in
a more serene manner.
Olivia Hunter, a senior from Madi-
son, Wis., who is in her last week of
a four-week study abroad trip in Stir-
ling, Scotland, wanted to do some-
thing just for extra fun and learning.
I decide to stay in Stirling for the
weekend, Hunter said. I had been
go, go, go the previous two week-
ends, so I thought it would be nice to
do something in town.
Hunter made a solo trek to the
Wallace Monument, a tower built in
honor of William Wallace, a Scottish
freedom fghter and the inspiration
behind the movie, Braveheart.
Hunter said other students in her
program recommended it so she
thought what better day to go than on
a day that is meant to celebrate free-
dom.
Even though students were thou-
sands of miles away from home on an
important American holiday, many
found comfort and familiarity among
their group.
Jackie Langdon, a senior from Den-
ver, who has been studying abroad
at Universidad de Costa Rica in
San Jos, Costa Rica for the past six
months, gathered with nine other stu-
dents for a potluck picnic.
Langdon said they used the holiday
as an excuse to say their goodbyes
since their program is ending in a
couple of weeks.
We have become each others sup-
port system, Langdon said. Instead
of moping around about missing out
on whats going on back home, we
decided to plan something special to
do.
Langdon said they have been in
Costa Rica for so long that it doesnt
feel weird celebrating an American
holiday there.
Even though Im thousands of
miles away from home, celebrat-
ing with all of my friends and fellow
Americans was a familiar and excit-
ing experience, Burrows said.
Burrows and Bloom shared a lot of
the same sentiment.
I have tried to blend in within the
culture and not seem like a typical
American, but the Fourth was a day
where we felt like we had an excuse
to show our pride for our country,
Bloom said.

W
ith the conclusion of the
United States World Cup
on Tuesday afer a 2-1
loss to Belgium, the focus now moves
to the playersthe heroes, so to
say. If you watched any of the United
States matches over the past month,
you saw that one of those heroes was
Sporting Kansas City defender Matt
Besler.
With less than 20 international
appearances coming into his frst
World Cup, Besler was thrust onto
the big stage as the anchor of an in-
credibly inexperienced United States
defensive core. In his four matches,
the Overland Park native impressed
nearly everyone who watched and
caught the eye of multiple European
soccer clubs.
In a Kansas City Star article, Sam
McDowell reported that Sport-
ing Club CEO Robb Heineman
said Besler had drawn enormous
interest from several European
clubs. McDowell wrote according
to Beslers agent Eddie Rock, Besler
would sign within the next week or
so, if he decided he wanted to leave
Sporting.
Take that as you will, but a lot
more goes into Beslers decision than
whether he wants to play for Sport-
ing next year.
Firstly, the money factor, of course,
comes into play. Besler makes around
$200,000 annually, whereas in
Europe he would likely sign a multi-
million dollar deal.
Te next thing to take into account
is his competition. Yes, he can sign a
long term contract with his home-
town team and become one of the
greatest players to ever play in a
Kansas City uniform, but how much
more can he do here in the MLS?
Hes already won an MLS Cup
(2013). Hes won an MLS Defender
of the Year award (2012). And hes
a two-time All-Star (2011, 2013).
Tere isnt much lef to accomplish
state-side.
In Europe, hed be playing against
far better competition, facing some
of the best players in the world on a
game-to-game basis. His game would
improve, and hed make the United
States National Team much more of a
force to be reckoned with.
Yes, hes newly married. Yes, hes
the hometown kid. Hes what every
12-year-old kicking a soccer ball in
Kansas idolizes to become one day.
But there has come a point where
he has bigger challenges to tackle.
And Besler has shown an extremely
committed work ethic and more
than enough talent to compete at the
European club level.
Itll be a difcult decision. But if
Besler wants to improve upon his
game, if he wants to experience a
whole new world of soccer, he should
take his talents across the pond.

Parking was scarce, trafc was bru-
tal and fnding a place to stand was
nearly impossible.
Tose problems, however, seemed
like the least of everybodys worries
Tuesday afernoon afer the USA was
eliminated from the 2014 World Cup
afer 120 minutes of soccer resulting
in a 2-1 loss to Belgium in Rio de Ja-
neiro.
Te crowd was showing support for
the home country team and for one of
their hometown players, Matt Besler.
Nick Johnson, a recent University
graduate from Lawrence, said he not
only went to the same high school
as Besler in Overland Park but also
played on the same soccer feld as him
and was taught the game of soccer by
the same coach, Alex Aiman, during
high school.
Johnson said he enjoyed watching
the Blue Valley West graduate play on
the international stage.
Its awesome. Hes a beast, Johnson
said. Where else in the world are you
going to see a Kansas kid play like this
on the international level? Its amaz-
ing.
Even though the U.S. made it to the
round of 16 for the second consecu-
tive time in the FIFA World Cup, this
loss especially stung fans.
Bradley Ivey, from Kansas City, Kan.,
was sporting red, white and blue face
paint, a blue cut-of and an American
fag as a cape to show his support for
the U.S. team. He said that the event
turned out bigger than he anticipated.
At times, Ivey said he had to move in
all diferent directions just to fnd his
way around people.
Its hard to kind of move around, I
had to go from front to back to fnd
my friends, Ivey said. I had to move
in between so many people. Knowing
how many people are here and to see
how much they support their country
is awesome.
Ivey said he decided to go with the
fag as one of his props because he
was so excited for the game and to get
out and show his support and patrio-
tism.
Ive had an American fag on my
back the whole day. Im just repping
my United States, Ivey said. My
friend had two fags in his house and
he said, lets go USA. Afer he said
that, I said, lets go, and I tied the fag
around my neck and started saluting
everyone I walked by.

COMMENTARY
BEN CARROLL
sports@kansan.com
J
ayhawks have never been fond
of tigers. Nevertheless when
Tarik Black, a transfer from the
University of Memphis, arrived on
scene in Lawrence last summer he
was quickly accepted by the Jayhawk
faithful and promptly assimilated to
the Kansas basketball way of life.
Blacks journey to Kansas was all
about possibilities. A chance at suc-
cess on the court and the opportu-
nity to further his academic pursuits
led him to make the switch and
spend his last year of eligibility with
the Jayhawks.
By NCAA rule, transfer athletes
must wait a year before playing at
a new school, but because Black
had just received his undergradu-
ate degree from Memphis he was
able to start competing right away.
Some may forget, but until fresh-
man phenom Joel Embiid burst into
the spotlight, Black was the starting
center for Kansas.
Although his starting spot was
eventually given to younger talent,
Black remained a solid contributor
of the bench, averaging 5.5 points
and 3.9 rebounds per game while
shooting a team-high 69 percent
from the feld. Black resumed the
starting role following Embiids back
injury late in the season and led the
team in rebounds in three of its last
six games while also leading the team
in scoring in the fnal game of the
year.
In his lone year at Kansas, Black
made as big of an impact on Kansas
basketball history as any player has.
In addition to being a meaningful
contributor to a team that brought
the basketball program its tenth
straight conference title, Black had
a way of bringing the fans to their
feet unlike any player Ive ever seen.
It seemed as if every time the crowd
in Allen Fieldhouse got a little bored
or worried that the lead wasnt quite
enough Black would fy into the
paint and nearly rip the rim down
with a high-fying dunk. Tese slams
would almost always be followed
by screams and cheers that blew the
roof of and a hasty timeout called by
the opponents coach.
Te most memorable of these
moments occurred in the home
game against Texas. As time wound
down in the Fieldhouse, a fast break
occurred for the Jayhawks. Black
received a quick pass from Conner
Frankamp and took of ffeen feet
from the rim. What lasted only a
moment seemed like an eternity as
Black soared through the air and
threw a dunk down on Texas Cam-
eron Ridley one of the few players
in the Big 12 bigger than Black. Te
play caught all of the spectators by
surprise, including the bench, who
appeared on SportsCenter that eve-
ning for its wild reaction.
James Naismith once said be
strong in body, clean in mind, lofy
in ideals. During Blacks eloquent
senior night speech I saw a man
whose life refected this sentiment in
such a way that would make the great
games creator smile. Fans will miss
Blacks vibrant attitude, perpetual
leadership and passion for life that
was evident every time he stepped
out onto the court or on campus. On
behalf of Jayhawk fans everywhere
I would like to thank him for his
service to his team and his school as
well as wish him the best of luck in
his future wherever it may take him.
Once a Jayhawk, always a Jayhawk
even if you used to be a Tiger.
