Your political views may say
more about your personality
than just who you will vote for
in the next election, accord-
ing to a study
conducted at
the University.
T i e n - Ts u n g
Lee, profes-
sor of strategic
c ommuni c a -
tion, looked
at how liberals
and conserva-
tives compare
in their happi-
ness, religious
beliefs, curios-
ity and need for
structure.
The most
i n t e r e s t i n g
findings were
that neither groups are happier,
but liberals were more trusting
of people who are different than
them, Lee said.
Lee found that liberals were
more open to foreign cultures,
music and foods.
By contrast, conservatives
tend to be more optimistic and
religious than liberals, the study
found. Lee said he was sur-
prised to find that both groups
relied on a similar amount of
structure and organization in
their lives.
Lee used a survey of more
than 7,000 people conducted
by an advertising agency for the
study. Lee hopes to expand the
research in the future by talking
and observing people to people,
rather than relying on only sur-
vey data.
Jessica Haberstock, a junior
from St. Louis, Mo., considers
herself to be liberal but not reli-
gious. She said her lifestyle is
dependent on her core beliefs.
Because I dont have religious
beliefs that guide my political
standpoints, I determine them
for myself, Haberstock said.
Haberstock considers her-
self laid-back, less-structured
and open to new ideas.
I think openness depends
on how you were raised
rather than political beliefs,
Haberstock said.
She also guessed that half
of KU students were liber-
al while the other half were
conservative, and while some
students change their beliefs
during their college years,
Haberstock thought most are
set in their beliefs after fresh-
man year.
Hayden Maples, a junior
from Olathe, said he consid-
ers himself moderately conser-
vative and religious and attends
church every Sunday. Maples
also thought of himself as happy
and morally strict.
Im very conscious of how
other people view my actions in
light of my Christianity, Maples
said.
Maples agreed with the study
that Christians would more
likely lean toward being con-
servative but said that making
sweeping generalizations about
lifestyle and political views was
difficult to do.
I dont know that you can
necessarily look at a persons
actions and determine what
political stance they hold, espe-
cially in college, Maples said.

students still can apply
for candidacy in senate
The deadline for running for the
Student Senate with a coalition has
passed, but students can still run as
independent candidates until 5 p.m.
tomorrow.
Student senators represent student
diversity on campus through academic,
residential, off-campus and non-tradi-
tional seats. Each senator has a vote in
full Senate on bills concerning student
fees, university policies and student
life.
Senators also serve on committees
that generate legislation. The four ma-
jor committees are fnance, rights, mul-
ticultural and university affairs.
Any student wishing to run for Senate
as an independent candidate must fll
out a senator declaration of candidacy
form, available on the election com-
missions web site at http://groups.
ku.edu/~election/. The candidacy form
must be stamped by the dean of the
academic school the candidate wishes
to represent. A candidate running for
a non-academic seat must get the
form stamped by the dean of his or her
major.
Each candidate also must either fll
out a petition with 50 signatures, or pay
a $20 fling fee. The candidacy form
and peti-
tion must
be submit-
ted to the
Kansas Union
administrative offce
on the fourth level by 5 p.m. April 5.
if a candidate chooses to pay the fee
instead of flling the petition, he or she
must pay by clicking the Student Sen-
ate Fee link on the bottom of the KU
Bookstores website.

set deadlines before the election for
candidates to pay fnes from cam-
paign violations.

quests for the Korean School Student
organization, SPic MAcAY and the
Alternative Energy Society.

Changes to the Student Senate
Budget Code, to be voted upon at
tonights Senate meeting, will help
allocate student fees more effi-
ciently to student organizations.
Last Wednesday, the Student
Senate finance committee
approved the changes, which aim
to update the code while keeping
the original intent of the rules.
Several months were spent on
the changes. The biggest changes
include clarifying rules for fund-
ing of newsletters, events in which
professors offer extra credit,
advertising in The Kansan and
organizations that arent open to
all students.
Basically the intent was to
bring things in line with our
current process, Josh Dean, the
finance committee chair, said. It
was removing rules that didnt
make any sense. We have restruc-
tured the unstructured parts.
Senate changed wording in the
code that applied to events that
professors may give academic
credit to students for attending.
The original wording, which
said that Student Senate could
not provide funding for any cor-
poration, organization or group
whose members receive or give
academic credit for participa-
tion, was changed so that Student
Senate could not fund any cor-
poration, organization, group or
activity whose primary purpose
is for members to give or receive
academic credit. This change in
wording is based on the assump-
tion that professors often have
students attend events that are
not directly affiliated with their
course.
Other revisions included writ-
ing Senate rules that are already
practiced but not written in the
code, such as a rule that allows
Student Senate to fund newslet-
ters and events. The creation of
the Student Senate Advertising
Program allows student organiza-
tions to advertise in The Kansan
for free, since Senate cant allocate
student funds to advertise in The
Kansan.
CommittEE diSSEnt
Some finance committee mem-
bers unsuccessfully attempted to
add another change at last weeks
meeting that would have allowed
Senate to fund events open to all
students, even if the organization
hosting the event was not open to
all students.
This change was sparked by
Senates decision to not approve
the homecoming steering com-
mittees request for $2,300 on
Feb. 29, because the organization
wasnt open to all students. Senate
cited its policy: No funds from
student fees shall be allocated or
apportioned to any corporation,
organization, or group that is not
open de facto to all University of
Kansas students.
If passed with the other budget
code changes, the homecoming
steering committee would have
been eligible to receive student
funding.
Dean, author of the bill amend-
ing the budget code, supported
the finance committees deci-
sion to rule against adding this
change.
Its OK to have a group where
you elect a committee thats in
charge of bringing in the speaker,
said Mark Pacey, a graduate sena-
tor and co-sponsor of the bill.
But if theres no way for anyone
to come on to even get elected to
that group to plan the speaker,
thats a problem.

POLICE REPORTS

WASHINGTON Mitt
Romney is halfway to clinching the
Republican nomination for presi-
dent.
The former Massachusetts gov-
ernor inched up to 572 delegates
on Monday exactly half the
1,144 needed after the Tennessee
Republican Party finalized delegate
totals from its March 6 primary.
Results in several congressional
districts were too close to call on
election night, leaving three del-
egates unallocated.
Romney got all three delegates.
He also picked up an endorse-
ment from a New Hampshire del-
egate who had been awarded to
former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman.
Huntsman dropped out of the race
in January and endorsed Romney.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul, meanwhile,
won a Minnesota delegate over the
weekend that had been allocat-
ed to former Pennsylvania Sen.
Rick Santorum. Santorum won
two delegates and Paul won one
at Minnesotas 7th Congressional
District convention.
Santorum had been projected
to win all three delegates, based
on the results of local caucuses in
February.
Romney and Santorum have
been sparring over the delegate
count for weeks. Romneys cam-
paign says there is no way for
Santorum to reach the number
of delegates needed to clinch the
nomination, portraying the race
as all but over. Santorums cam-
paign says Romneys numbers are
inflated, raising the prospect of a
contested convention in August.
According to the Associated
Press tally, Romney has more
than twice as many delegates as
Santorum. Santorum has 272 del-
egates, followed by former House
Speaker Newt Gingrich with 135
and Texas Rep. Ron Paul with 51.
Romney has won 54 percent of
the primary and caucus delegates
so far, putting him on pace to
clinch the nomination in June.
Romney could substantially add to
his lead Tuesday, when 95 delegates
will be at stake in three primaries,
in Wisconsin, Maryland and the
District of Columbia.
Tuesdays contests mark the mid-
way point in the race for delegates.
A total of 2,286 delegates are
slated to attend the partys national
convention in Tampa, Fla. 2,169
will be selected through prima-
ries, caucuses and state conven-
tions, while 117 are members of the
Republican National Committee,
free to support any candidate they
choose.

In last weeks story about School of

student was quoted saying the KU law
school was one of only two law schools in
the U.S. to see an increase in applicants.
But the communications director of the

Also, law school offcials said that
changes to the department were made

Pit bulls rescued from dogfghting ring in the Philippines
Israel delays evacuation of Jewish settlers from West Bank
JERUSALEM Israels prime
minister said Tuesday he has ordered
a delay in the planned evacuation of
Jewish settlers from a building they
occupied in the West Bank, putting
off a potentially violent standoff with
Israeli security forces.
The settlers had been ordered to
evacuate the building in the volatile
West Bank city of Hebron by Tuesday
afternoon.
But Prime Minister Benjamin Ne-
tanyahu said he told his defense
minister, who oversees policy in the
occupied West Bank, to put the evic-
tions on hold while a legal review is
conducted.
I am coordinated with the minis-
ter of defense. I asked him last night
to wait with the eviction so we could
check the facts, both legally and on
the ground, and that is what we will
do, Netanyahu told a news confer-
ence. He gave no indication how long
that would take.
The settlers took over the house in
Hebron in an overnight operation last
week. The military ordered them to
leave by Tuesday afternoon because
they did not have the required per-
mission to move in.
The deadline passed without any
action, and the settlers remained in-
side the building.
Netanyahus apparent support for
these settlers move is another proof
that (his) priority is consolidating the
occupation rather than negotiating
its end, said Palestinian spokesman
Ghassan Khatib. Such attitude and
behavior poses a serious challenge
that the international community
needs to deal with.
The Palestinians, backed by the
international community, say the
settlements are illegal and make it
ever more diffcult to establish their
independent state.

A volunteer from the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) pets a pit bull, one of more than 200 rescued from South
Korean nationals at a coffee farm lot in San Pablo city, Laguna province, south of Manila, Philippines, on Tuesday. Dozens of
pit bulls rescued from a dogfghting ring will be put down starting Tuesday by the animal welfare activists, who said there
are no facilities to rehabilitate them and prevent them from again being used in underground arenas.
MANILA, Philippines At
least nine pit bulls rescued from a
dogfghting ring in the Philippines
were euthanized Tuesday and dozens
more are likely to be because there are
no facilities to rehabilitate them and
prevent them from reappearing in un-
derground arenas.
Roughly 300 dogs were rescued in
separate raids late Friday in Laguna
province south of Manlia, said Anna
Cabrera of the Philippine Animal Wel-
fare Society.
Seventeen with the worst injuries
were put down over the weekend, and
the health of the living dogs and the
progress of rehabilitating them will de-
termine how many of them ultimately
survive.
Police arrested eight South Koreans
suspected of running an illegal online
gambling operation in which players
outside the Philippines bet on dogs
fghting at a clandestine compound.
Some of the dogs rescued Friday
were saved from another facility in
Cavite province in December, Cabrera
said. She said the dogs were recycled
adopted by people who resold them
to the suspects to continue fghting.
That is a fate worse than death,
she said.
Two of the suspects arrested last
week had been caught in the December
raid but had posted bail, police Chief
Inspector Renante Galang said.
Welfare society veterinarian Wilford
Almora said many of the pit bulls
purebred and mixed breeds suf-
fered ripped ears and tongues and
other wounds in previous fghts.
He said his group had enough drugs
to euthanize 70 dogs, and had put
down at least nine Tuesday afternoon
with 13 more planned before they fn-
ish later in the evening.
He said they selected the most sick,
emaciated and aggressive animals to
put down frst. Some of the dogs were
too weak to stand, he said.
LAGoS, Nigeria Lawyers
argued Tuesday whether Nigerias
president had the power to use heavily
armed soldiers and armored tanks to
stop a massive protest this January in
the nations largest city over spiraling
gasoline prices.
The lawsuit brought by the Save
Nigeria Group could be the strongest
judicial test to presidential power in a
nation long run by iron-fsted military
rulers. The group said the government
quashed the freedom of speech con-
stitutionally guaranteed in this young
democracy.
In its lawsuit, the Save Nigeria
Group asks for $625,000 in damages
and an injunction stopping President
Goodluck Jonathan from using the
military to halt future peaceful pro-
tests. At a court hearing Tuesday in
Lagos, Adebayo told Justice Steven
Adah that ruling in favor of the suit
would strengthen our democracy.
Protests began in Nigeria after
Jonathans administration announced
Jan. 1 the removal of popular subsi-
dies on gasoline that keep prices low
in the oil-rich nation. Overnight, the
price at the pump jumped from 45
cents per liter ($1.70 per gallon) to
at least 94 cents per liter ($3.50 per
gallon).
Labor and trade unions announced
a nationwide strike that paralyzed
business and daily life throughout
the country. The governments deci-
sion sparked rage as Nigerians as a
whole view low gasoline prices as the
only beneft the average citizen sees
from the nation producing about 2.4
million barrels of oil a day. After a
six-day strike, Jonathan announced a
new, partially subsidized price of 60
cents a liter ($2.27 a gallon) to en-
sure the protests stopped. The presi-
dent deployed soldiers into Lagos and
other areas in the country who blocked
demonstrators and at times fred live
ammunition and tear gas at them.
At Jonathans order, soldiers
swarmed the park with armored tanks,
turning away and threatening those
who attempted to protest. The troops
only left the park, a neatly pruned
grass strip along a major highway
and at the foot of the citys massive
garbage dump, weeks later.
The move by Jonathan to put sol-
diers on the street represented the frst
time that a leader massively deployed
soldiers on the streets across major
cities since the nation became a de-
mocracy in 1999. For Adebayo, thats
why the lawsuit remains so important
to Nigerias nascent democracy.
We believe the court is still the
last bastion of hope for the common
man, he said.
Justice Adah said he expects to rule
on the lawsuit May 24.

LOS ANGELES Its still an
unanswered question whether
or not NBCs Community
will be back
for a fourth
season. But as
of this week,
its an even
bigger unan-
swered ques-
tion whether
Chevy Chase
will be back on
the show even if it does return.
Based on Chases feelings
about show creator Dan Har-
mon in a voicemail posted on
various websites last week, its
apparent that theres not a lot of
hugs going around.
On the voicemail, posted
on TMZ, Chase lets loose with
a string of not-safe-for-NBC
language describing his talent
and his script as an abomina-
tion, and your writing is getting
worse and worse. (Thats the
part thats printable. The rest
is available for listen at TMZ,
though beware foul language.)
According to reports, the
phone call stemmed from an in-
cident at the shows third season
wrap party in which Harmon
reportedly dressed Chase down
in front of the cast, crew and the
actors wife and daughter.
I dont get talked to like that
in front of anybody, certainly
not in front of my wife and
daughter, Chase said.
Chase has had more than his
share of feuds in the course of
his career. Theres all the not-so-
nice things pretty much anyone
associated with Saturday Night
Live has had to say about him
over the years. And theres the
infamous Chevy Chase roast
thats notable for being one of
the meanest events in that insti-
tutions long history.
But Harmon himself isnt a
stranger to behind-the-scenes
conflict. As the writer told Marc
Maron on his podcast last year,
he left The Sarah Silverman
Program before it ever aired
over conflicts with the shows
star.
The writer spent much time
dealing with fans on Twitter tak-
ing him to task for his reported
wrap party behavior.
David Fischer wrote, Noth-
ing warrants what you did to
Chevy in front of his wife and
daughter.
hiMyM star to host
tony awards again
Los ANGELEs Neil patrick
Harris will host Broadways biggest
night for the third time, organizers
of the tony Awards announced on
tuesday. the award show is sched-
uled to take place June 10 at the
Beacon theatre in New york and
will be broadcast live on CBs, with
a delay for the west Coast.
Harris has proved a popular
choice for the tonys, but will the
How i Met your Mother actor, who
hosted last years tonys as well as
the 2009 ceremony, be able to re-
verse the shows declining tV view-
ership of the last three years?
Last year, the tonys faced tough
competition from the NBA Finals,
which aired on ABC.
McClatchy Tribune
LOS ANGELES Judy Smith
was there when White House
intern Monica Lewinsky, Chief
Justice Clarence Tomas, quar-
terback Michael Vick and Idaho
senator Larry Craig found them-
selves in the middle of major cri-
ses. Te attorney and author is a
crisis-management expert whos
mediated so many high-profle
cases such as the Iran-Contra
investigation her career has
inspired the new ABC drama
Scandal.
In the series, starring Kerry
Washington as the Smith-
inspired Olivia Pope, deals
with high-profle problems
that range from keeping the
client list of a Washington D.C.
madam under wraps to a scan-
dal surrounding the president.
Her tactics are cold, calculated
and efective.
Smith said dealing with a cri-
sis is a matter of coming up with
a good strategy whether or
not its a popular solution.
At the end of the day, I play
to win and otherwise I wouldnt
be good at my job, Smith said.
Im also not a person that sort
of talks around an issue.

Sometimes I like to sit in Budig Hall
and pretend that Im a popcorn kernel
preparing to pop.
That awkward moment when you hate
your best friend.
I shaved my legs in case we won and
someone put me on their shoulders.
What a waste.
That was one hell of a rebuilding year.
Rock Chalk for life.
Couldnt quite bring myself to leave Allen
Fieldhouse immediately after the game.
Thank you for everything this season
boys. Love you.
Legitimately had to stuff newspaper in
my ears because its so freaking loud in
Allen Fieldhouse.
Why didnt any of the KU fans in New
Orleans think to make voodoo dolls of the
Kentucky starters?
I blame the chancellor. One week too
early.
You guys played with a lot of heart this
season. Nothing to be ashamed about.
Its a sad day for the Jayhawk nation, but
I couldnt be happier to be able to say
that we were able to make it all the way
to the National Championship!
To the guy that told me to sit down in
Allen Fieldhouse: You obviously dont
know what it is like to be a true KU fan.
Dude, you smell like a Hollister store.
Maybe cut back on the cologne?
My physics professor looks like a
Muppet.
Editors Note: Is he a man or is he a
Muppet?
If you leave your phone on vibrate during
a test, you deserve to be punched in the
face.
Is it really that hard to get Wi-Fi in the
bathroom? I like to play DrawSome-
thing.
I knew I should have driven to New
Orleans to shave Daviss unibrow. Its the
source of his power.

Is it just me, or does Daisy Hill look a lot
more like Dandelion Hill these days?
To the half-naked drunk guy who tried to
pound down my front door last night and
then passed out on my porch: I hope you
woke up with a monster hangover.
Did anyone else see that guy drop cash
on the court while getting chased by
security through the Fieldhouse?
Where did all the Kentucky street signs
go?!
Nothing to be sad about. I am so proud.
My classes got canceled because of the
game. Shhhh, dont tell the chancellor.
Why is there a shoe on the bus stop sign
outside Bailey?
I just saw two bugs mating. Its that
time of year again.
T
he Pew Research Center con-
ducted a survey late last fall
asking Americans to name
the current GOP candidates for the
president of the United States. The
result? 47 percent couldnt name
a single candidate. So its probably
safe to assume that most people
here dont know that Russia just
finished its presidential election or
that France will conduct its election
later this month. You cant blame us
for not being informed; our media
is heavily America-centric.
But you can bet that the rest
of the world is closely monitor-
ing the buildup to our 2012 presi-
dential election. While its doubtful
that most Americans could name
French president Nicolas Sarkozys
primary rival (Franois Hollande),
European newspapers often report
on funny names such as Ron Paul,
Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and
Mitt Romney.
The reason that the world fol-
lows our election so closely, despite
our indifference, is the U.S. still
occupies a unique position of inter-
national prominence in the world.
As such, decisions madeor not
madehere can have a profound
effect upon people from Rio de
Janeiro to Jerusalem. So, an elec-
tion here that reorients U.S. foreign
policy could cause significant con-
sequences for our allies and foes
alike.
This election cycle is not
unique in its international appeal.
In fact, at one point during the
2008 campaign, Barack Obamas
largest audience to date gathered
in Berlin, Germany a crowd of
more than 200,000 people. During
that election, Europe and much of
the international community dis-
liked George W. Bush and quickly
became enamored with Obamas
rock star-like persona and idealistic
visions for a new America.
Today, just as in America, Obama
has lost some of his luster with the
international community, as he has
not been able to bring about the
transformational change that he
promised. Accordingly, the world is
watching with renewed interest as a
new slate of challengers offer their
views for the future of American
power.
Take the examples I men-
tioned earlierRio de Janeiro and
Jerusalemeach citizenry has a
unique interest in our upcoming
election.
Brazils economy is highly inter-
linked with ours beause of trade
relationships. Furthermore, accord-
ing to the Council on Foreign
Relations, Brazil is the fourth-larg-
est creditor of the United States. So,
Brazilians have a shared interest in
the recovery of the U.S. economy.
The GOP has made the economy
one of its primary campaign focus-
es. In particular, Mitt Romneys
support of free trade aligns well
with the interests of the Brazilian
economy. The fact that we are hav-
ing this discussion in the United
States has the potential to affect the
people of Brazil.
A perennially touchy issue in
U.S. presidential elections is our
support for Israel. The United
States has historically vowed to sup-
port Israel, particularly with regard
to military issues. Currently, there
is growing concern of a potential
altercation between Israel and Iran
over the issue of Tehrans pursuit of
nuclear weapons. This is a serious
issue for Israeli citizens because
Iran has publically vowed to wipe
Israel off the map.
If armed conflict were to occur,
the U.S. would likely be dragged in
to support our Israeli allies. On this
particular issue, the GOP position
tends to be more hawkish (i.e.
in favor of military action against
Iran). On the other side, some
have criticized Obamas diplomatic
relations with Israel, which have
deteriorated since he took office.
Furthermore, some have viewed
Obamas stance toward Iran as too
soft.
In either example, it is easy to
see how policy changes in the U.S.
could have a significant affect on
other countries. And these exam-
ples are but a few of the great
number of reasons why the world is
watching election 2012 in America.
Whether it be animosity towards
Romney in China or Obamas sup-
port in Western Europe (in partic-
ular, Scandinavians love Obama),
people throughout the world have
different reasons to pay attention
to the process. However, one view
is uniform among those looking
in: The decision we make at the
ballot box in November will have
far-reaching consequences.

T
he odds are in your favor
that you have heard some-
thing about the phenom-
enon known as The Hunger
Games, a dystopic novel-turned-
movie adaption filling movie
theaters and prompting reading
marathons across the world.
The plight of Katniss Everdeen
is pretty well-known: the United
States has been replaced by a
country known as Panem, with a
totalitarian government that has
broken the country into 12 dis-
tricts and randomly chooses a
boy and a girl from each to rep-
resent their district in the yearly
Hunger Games. Only one of the
24 children makes it out alive.
Katnisss younger sister,
Primrose, is chosen for the
Games, but Katniss volunteers to
take her place. The story is rich
with Katnisss inner monologue,
one that is constantly examin-
ing this society structured around
entertaining its citizens with an
extremely morbid version of a
reality TV show. The motif of
being monitored and controlled
isnt new (1984) and neither is
the around-the-clock reality show
approach (The Truman Show),
but The Hunger Games is an
interesting case.
The function of dystopic nov-
els is often interpreted as one
that alerts readers to the pieces
that make their own society tick
and not so much as a warning
to what may occur in the future.
And, naturally, the popularity of
this series has given us a lens
through which we can examine
the pieces that define entertain-
ment in todays society.
Our obsession with the idea of
celebrity and manufactured sto-
rylines making up exhibitionist
reality TV is put under a micro-
scope. We can look at game shows
we watch constantly such as
Survivor, The Bachelor, and
Big Brother that pretend
to be honest with their viewers
about what happens in the foot-
age they choose not to show in a
new way.
We can understand a little more
about how 24-hour news chan-
nels operate by sensationalizing
stories while reporting them to
death. Our class system, cleanly
defined and often ignorantly dis-
counted, is made a little clearer.
At the same time, this futuristic
society, which has citizens who
see these Games as pure enter-
tainment, shows us a lot about
the extent of desensitization. No
censorship is good, but sitting on
the edge of your seat while watch-
ing 12-year-old children kill each
other on national television does
seem a bit extreme. With a spec-
trum created by the series popu-
larity, we can place ourselves on
that spectrum to gauge just how
desensitized we really are.
But, as I said, there is absolute-
ly no one saying that something
like this will eventually happen as
we continue down some arbitrary
trajectory that was societally con-
structed.
Suzanne Collins, the author of
these books, claims to be neither
a prognosticator nor clairvoyant.
But the manner in which she has
written the books and the atten-
tion they have received on such
a large scale means we have an
opportunity to understand a little
bit more about how our lives are
structured today.
Salsbury is a senior in English, his-
tory of art and global and interna-
tional studies from Chapman.
I
consider myself a fairly healthy
and physically active person.
Im no Ironman, and the last
coordinated team sport I did was
pee-wee soccer, where I spent my
time making daisy chains on the
sidelines, but I like to be active. I
work out fve to six times a week,
running, practicing yoga or doing
Pilates. I enjoy physical exertion ,
and Im always looking for ways to
get a better workout.
So on a recent Sunday evening,
when a dear friend of mine asked
me on a whim if Id go with her to
a Zumba class, I said yes. Id heard
Zumba was an intensive cardio
workout, but also highly enjoyable.
Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, my
friend and I went to the Zumba
class with light hearts, ready to
share in a new experience.
I hated Zumba.
Let me be specifcI loathed
Zumba. It was an hour-long de-
scent into my own personal ver-
sion of hell, except with more
spandex than expected.
It started out well- noughclass
flled up fairly quickly, and the in-
structor came in, as peppy as I had
come in feeling. She began the
class by asking if anyone had nev-
er been to Zumba before. Timidly,
my friend and I raised our hands,
the sole admitters to naivet in
the room. Te instructor smiled,
and reassured us that it would be
fne, explaining how wed be do-
ing multiple dance routines and
before each one shed break down
the moves wed be doing. Seemed
simple enough.
Te music began, and so did
my descent to the inferno.
Te movement started of in a
furry, and I found myself scram-
bling from the get-go to try to fol-
low along. I foundered through
the steps, trying to execute the
movements with the same preci-
sion as the instructor and found
myself quickly learning some-
thing I should have considered
before coming to a dance class: I
really cant dance.
Uncoordinated but persistent, I
gave my full energy to each step,
and, fnally at the end of the se-
quence, found myself out of breath
and sweating. It was unpleasant,
but Id survived, right?
Te instructor clapped her
hands together and exclaimed,
Good job! Now lets move on to
the next. My eyes swung to meet
my friends and then swerved to
the clock. We were fve minutes
into the class.
Te next hour I exuded all the
grace of a drugged hippopotamus.
Not only was I unable to get most
of the moves right, but, since I was
also confned in a room lined with
mirrors on two sides, I saw my
image refected back at me a be-
spectacled, blob of tie-dye T-shirt,
with a sad, limp ponytail, hobbling
like an amputated platypus. (Te
awkward animal analogy goes a
long way.)
In the past, I had ofen gone for
hour-long runs, intense yoga ses-
sions, Pilates sequenceswork-
outs where I was in control and
grounded, and, I liked to imagine,
strong, powerful and graceful.
My sweat, tears, and perhaps
blood mingled together around
me in a pool of despair.
Te universe took pity on me,
and eventually the class ended. I
exited the room with far less dig-
nity and body-water-content than
I had entered it. My friend and I
joined in a commiserating bash
session, discussing how frustrat-
ing the class had been, how dumb
we had felt, how we never wanted
to do squats in rhythm to a song
where the chorus commanded
us to booty-pop, ever again. No
zumba for us, we agreed.
But, Im going back to the Zum-
ba class.
Despite how much I disliked
the class during and immediately
afer, the next day when I woke up
sore and feeling those shimmy
shimmy jumps, I was forced to
admit it was a very efective work-
out. It was then that I started to
refect on exactly what had made
me dislike Zumba.
I typically go for structured,
intensive workouts, and Zumba
threw me for a loop because of its
inherently light-hearted nature. I
dont like fun workouts, I guess.
I probably need to work on loos-
ening up, on not taking myself so
seriously when it comes to physi-
cal ftness.
I think our society tends to feel
as if we need to punish ourselves
to be healthyas if a healthy life-
style is a one of constant sacrifce.
But working out and health can,
and should, be enjoyable. We
shouldnt beat ourselves up if were
not quite as good as the instruc-
tor, or if were not running as fast
as the girl on the treadmill next to
us. Its okay not to be in complete
control.
Ill be back in that Zumba class,
swiveling my hips and seeing my
uncoordinated form refected
back at me, but maybe this time
Ill be able to laugh instead of gri-
mace.

An open forum for students to
meet a potential new student afairs
administrator drew little attendance
Monday night.
But students will have another op-
portunity Friday.
Only fve students, including stu-
dent body president Libby Johnson,
attended the open forum Monday
with a candidate for the position of
vice provost of student afairs.
Two of the students represented
Student Senate, and two others came
from the Alternative Spring Breaks
organization.
Te department of student af-
fairs promotes health programs and
activities such as the student lecture
series. For example, Wednesdays
events include the KU Smokeout, an
anti-smoking event, and a lecture by
ESPN founder Bill Rasmussen.
Te candidate, Beth Hellwig, is
the current vice chancellor for stu-
dent afairs at the University of Wis-
consin-Eau-Claire. She talked about
her relationships with students, the
value she places on diversity, and 36
years of higher education experience
in her presentation in the Centennial
Room of the Kansas Union.
Students are at the center of all we
do, Hellwig said.
Hellwig spoke about student
groups she has mentored. She em-
phasized her interest in supporting
social justice and inclusiveness, es-
pecially for foreign and LGBT stu-
dents.
Johnson asked Hellwig how she
would balance her roles as student
advocate and administrator.
I think my role is to interpret
from the students to the administra-
tion, Hellwig said and added that
she would likely side with students
90 percent of the time.
Hellwig said she would enjoy
making the jump from her current
university of 11,000 students to the
University, which has almost 30,000
students.
Im very excited about the Univer-
sity of Kansas, Hellwig said. From
what Ive heard,
this is a wonder-
ful place.
Hellwig said
she was inter-
ested in working
with the Uni-
versitys gradu-
ate and doctoral
programs, and
would want to
teach leadership
classes if given the opportunity.
I believe I can bring some won-
derful ideas to the table, Hellwig
said.
Johnson said she thought prepara-
tion for the mens basketball champi-
onship in New Orleans was likely a
cause of the low turnout at the event.
I would love to see more students
at the student interactions because
its an opportunity for them to learn
about the candidates, Johnson said.
Johnson said she was still im-
pressed by the forum and looked
forward to the rest
of the selection
process.
What we need
is a candidate
who will go out
on campus and
take an interest
in things that stu-
dents are inter-
ested in, Johnson
said.
Students next opportunity to
meet a candidate for the vice pro-
vost of student success position will
be on Friday, in the Malott Room of
the Kansas Union from 1:30 p.m. to
2:30 p.m.

LEXINGTON, Ky. One man
was wounded by gunfre early
Tuesday in Lexington, numerous
small fres were set and dozens
were arrested as thousands cel-
ebrated Kentuckys win over Kan-
sas to claim another NCAA title,
authorities reported.
Battalion Chief Ed Davis of the
Lexington Division of Fire and
Emergency Services said he saw
the shooting as he was flling out
paperwork on a wreck involving
a fre engine. Davis said he heard
yelling about 25 feet away, and one
man started shooting at another.
He said the gun was fred quite a
few times.
Police Lt. Clayton Roberts said
no arrests had been made in the
shooting, which happened shortly
afer 2 a.m. EDT. Te gunman
disappeared into the crowd and
behind some buildings and police
could not locate him, Roberts said.
Te wounded man, who is in his
30s, was taken to University of Ken-
tucky Medical Center with serious
injuries that werent believed to be
life-threatening, Roberts said.
Te shooting happened afer
some people inside a vehicle had
words with others who were stand-
ing on a sidewalk, Roberts said.
He said the people in the car got
out, and a person on the sidewalk
opened fre with a handgun, hitting
a man from the vehicle.
Fans flled the streets near the
Lexington campus within minutes
of the championship games con-
clusion late Monday. Tey jumped
up and down, screamed, sprayed
beer and waved Kentucky fags.
Lexington police had arrested
several dozen people by the time
the game had been over only a
few minutes, police spokeswoman
Sherelle Roberts said late Monday.
Were seeing fres being lit and
things of that nature, Roberts said,
adding that people had set couches
and at least one car on fre.
A car crashed into the patio area
at a bar and grill where some peo-
ple were dining, but the metal-and-
brick wall kept the vehicle from
getting onto the patio, she said.
She didnt have information about
injuries.
Police had also handed out nu-
merous citations, many for alcohol-
related ofenses, Roberts said.
I think that were taking a more
zero-tolerance approach, she said.
Tat has a part to play in it, but
also people started celebrating
much earlier than they did on Sat-
urday. Te amount of time to be-
come intoxicated and the amount
of time for us to be in contact with
these intoxicated people has in-
creased.
About two hours afer the game,
Roberts said police had arrested
people for charges such as criminal
mischief, disorderly conduct, alco-
hol intoxication and setting fres.
She said ofcers were still making
arrests but didnt have a precise
estimate. She said police had used
some pepper spray to break up
fghts.
Te fre divisions Davis said
about 56 fre runs had been made
in the area where fans had gath-
ered. One was a garage fre, but
the rest were smaller nuisance fres
involving couches or bedding, he
said. Davis knew of no fre-related
injuries.
Emergency medical workers
transported about 25 people to hos-
pitals for treatment, mostly minor,
he said. A lot of them were people
who were intoxicated, while some
had been hit by thrown objects or
been involved in fghts, Davis said.

Quote
Honestly, I
thought I was
there. I just
missed it. I
havent done that
in a very long
time.
Freshman center felder dakota
Smith on dropping a fy ball in the frst
inning
Smith
OMAHA, Neb. A freshman
playing center feld is bound to
make mistakes, but its how the
player reacts that will determine
whether those mistakes last the
full nine innings.
And Dakota Smith started of
rough in the game against Creigh-
ton. Smith had a chance to end
the frst inning afer the Jays had
runners on second and third with
two outs.
Creightons senior catcher Scott
Tornburg came to the plate try-
ing to give his Jays the early lead.
He took a 0-1 pitch and popped it
up to center feld. Smith had his
eyes and glove on the easy pop fy,
but it fell out of his glove and hit
the grass in the outfeld. Te drop
led to two runs for the Jays.
Honestly, I thought I was
there. I just missed it, Smith said.
I havent done that in a very long
time.
Smiths mishap lef the the Jay-
hawks in a hole, but he would get
his chance to make up for his er-
ror.
In the third inning, afer a lead-
of double by senior third base-
man Zac Elgie, Smith came to
bat and cracked a foul ball. On
the next pitch, Smith shot a sin-
gle into lef center feld and Elgie
came around to score.
With that, Smith made up for
half of what his error cost the
team. Ten, afer a sacrifce bunt
and a single, Smith stood on third
base, 90 feet from home. For the
second time in the inning, coach
Ritch Price called for a sacrifce
bunt. Sophomore second base-
man Kaiana Eldredge placed the
bunt down the frst baseline, far
enough to allow Smith to score.
It felt pretty good. I knew I had
to redeem myself, Smith said.
Price knows mistakes happen,
but he said dropping a ball in the
outfeld doesnt happen all that
much. He also said that he tells his
team that when they make a bad
play, they need to fnd a way to
make a positive infuence on the
game and not let the error deter-
mine the entire games outcome.
When he came back later in
the game and helps us to cut into
the defcit and tie it up, thats what
youre hoping for, Price said.
When you make a mistake, you
try to do something positive to
redeem yourself.
Creighton still managed to win
7-3 over Kansas.

tharp:
Tharp had a
sacrifce bunt in
the third inning
that moved a
runner into scoring
position. The next batter brought the
runner home. sometimes, its a little
thing, like sacrifcing yourself to move a
runner up, that makes a team success-
ful and Tharp executed perfectly. He
also blasted his frst homer of the year
in the ffth inning, deep into Creightons
bullpen.

Freshman pitcher
Colin toalson:
In just two in-
nings of work,
Toalson gave up
four hits and one
walk. He allowed
two earned runs that
came immediately after Kansas tied
the game in the previous inning. Three
of his four allowed hits were doubles.
Though he is just a freshman, he will
need to learn to limit damage and
attack hitters.

ts 193 days until the roller coaster
begins all over again. Even though
the final game ended not quite as
we expected on Monday night, the mens
basketball season as a whole was a vic-
tory.
Teams, players, coaches and fans start
placing their predictions for March
Madness in October, six months before
it actually begins. Analysts predict
which teams will reach the Final Four
and who will win awards. It all culmi-
nates in one weekend, when four teams
face off in the ultimate showdown.
No doubt about it these six months
have been incredible, especially watch-
ing the Jayhawks make it all the way to
the National Championship. As a fan,
watching Kansas games usually results
in a heart attack, but it also teaches
adversity. The number of times the team
came back throughout the season to
claim the lead and win is unbelievable.
These repeated feats show mental
toughness, confidence and the will to
persevere. Its easy to give up mentally
when situations get tough. Its hard to
look past the short-term losses and look
forward. Its hard to believe that its
possible. These are life lessons that the
players learned and showed the nation
this season. Its also something to keep
in our minds as we make our way to the
end of the semester.
Kansas proved that what people say
is just what people say. It has little effect
on what happens unless we let it affect
us.
Heres a little recap of Kansas amaz-
ing season:
1. Kansas won its eighth-straight Big
12 Conference Title.
2. Kansas beat Missouri in the last
Border Showdown in Allen Fieldhouse.
3. Kansas played three Top 10 teams
before the conference season started:
Kentucky, Duke and Ohio State.
4. Kansas beat North Carolina in the
Midwest regional to advance to the Final
Four.
5. Kansas beat Ohio State, again, to
advance to the Championship game.
6. Jeff Withey set an NCAA record,
with 31 blocks in the tournament.
7. Bill Self won the Naismith Coach
of the Year award.
8. Thomas Robinson was named Big
12 Player of the Year.
9. Kansas womens and mens basket-
ball teams both made it to the Sweet 16.
And the list goes on
We have some time to recover from
the madness, but I want to personally
thank the team for an amazing season.
We are Kansas.

hen the fnal buzzer
sounded at the Mer-
cedes-Benz Super-
dome, the realization that the best
Kansas team since 2008 had played
its last game instantly hit me yes,
the best.
Te 2012 Jayhawks were neither
the deepest nor the most talented
club Bill Self has seen in his time at
Kansas. In fact, theyre probably the
least talented, but when its all said
and done, I would take this years
team over the previous two in a
heartbeat.
In what was supposed to be a
rebuilding year, Self took this team
to the National Championship, cap-
ping a 32-victory season. Tats not
too bad for a down year, if you ask
me.
With just one returning starter in
Tyshawn Taylor and a role-player-
turned-superstar in Tomas Robin-
son, this Kansas team achieved what
nobody thought was possible before
the season. When the Jayhawks fell
to Davidson on Dec. 19 in Kan-
sas City, many pundits questioned
whether Kansas could make the
NCAA Tournament this year, much
less win a Big 12 title.
Te Jayhawks responded to that
adversity, and resilience became a
theme for this Kansas squad. Tere
was never a defcit too big in the
minds of Kansas, who seemingly
played its best when backed against
a wall.
Kansas well-documented 69-67
tournament loss to Northern Iowa
truly shows the diference between
this team and the 2009-10 edi-
tion. Yes, that was an ultra-talented
group led by Sherron Collins, Xavier
Henry, Cole Aldrich and the Morris
twins; however, that team thought it
could just show up and win and paid
dearly for that mentality.
It might have been the constant
label of underdog, but this team
played with an edge that I have not
seen in my four years at Kansas, and
for that, I will miss watching these
Jayhawks.
Whether it was the 19-point
comeback against Missouri, or the
series of come-from-behind wins
in the NCAA Tournament, the Jay-
hawks bought into what Self had
preached all season long.
Tree months ago, very few Kan-
sas fans would have expected the
Jayhawks to reach New Orleans, but
the constant improvements of Elijah
Johnson, Jef Withey and Tyshawn
Taylor made this improbable sce-
nario a reality.
Even when Kansas found itself
down 16 with 10 minutes lef in
the game against Kentucky, the Jay-
hawks did not quit and followed the
blueprint of the Missouri comeback
to cut the lead to fve.
Te only problem was that this
Kentucky team was a true college
basketball power, featuring an un-
selfsh collection of NBA-caliber
talent.
No, Kansas didnt get to cut down
the nets in New Orleans, but the Jay-
hawks played like champions even in
defeat. So, although there will not be
a new championship banner in Al-
len Fieldhouse next season, Kansas
fans have great reason to be proud.

Coach bill Self spoke to loyal fans who came to allen Fieldhouse Tuesday night to show their support after the team lost to
Kentucky in the National Championship on Monday. Thomas robinson, along with three other players, also spoke to the crowd.
Jayhawks lasted until the very end

With the long lines of people
waiting outside Allen Filedhouse
Tuesday, it looked as if the Kansas
basketball team would be playing a
home game later in the evening.
But instead of gathering to cheer
the Jayhawks to victory, this crowd
gathered to congratulate the Jay-
hawks for a season where they sur-
passed everyones expectations by
advancing to the National Champi-
onship game.
It just means so much to us for
you guys having our backs, se-
nior guard Conner Teahan told the
crowd. It really made us the team
we are now, because we didnt want
to let you guys down.
Four players from the team ad-
dressed the crowd: senior guards
Teahan, Tyshawn Taylor and Jordan
Juenemann, along with junior for-
ward Tomas Robinson, who most
likely played his last game for Kansas
Monday night, as he is expected to
enter the NBA draf this spring.
When Robinson spoke, some fans
in the crowd tried to entice him to
stick around for one more season.
I wish that he would play for one
more year, Taylor Teague, a Dallas
senior, said about Robinson. But
he has to move on. Ill support him
wherever he goes.
Te fans fled into Allen Field-
house almost an hour before the
team arrived and were treated to a
replay of the Jayhawks Final Four
victory over Ohio State.
I was thinking about their faces,
and just how excited they would be
to see us and know how much they
mean to us and how much we sup-
port them, Kathryn McDonald, a
Frisco, Texas, senior, said.
Te season may have ended in dis-
appointment, as the Jayhawks failed
to capture their sixth national title.
However, the hard-to-please Jay-
hawk fans were rather pleased with
how the season unfolded, especially
afer previous teams failed to match
fans lofy expectations.
Our season this year turned out a
lot better, Caleb MacIntosh, a Caney
freshman, said. Im sure last year
people had higher hopes because of
who we had. Overall, I think Id pre-
fer this year just because of how far
and unexpected it went.
Kansas coach Bill Self also ex-
pressed his disappointment that this
was the last time this group of play-
ers would be together at center court
of Allen Fieldhouse in front of their
faithful fans.
I know youre attached to them,
Im attached to them, Self said to
the crowd. Te reality of it is, youre
never going to see these guys play
together again, and to me thats the
thing thats most sad. So when you
get attached, you want it to last as
long as possible, and these guys last-
ed to the very, very end.
For a senior class that entered
Kansas on the heels of a national
championship, this class proved its
worth, capturing four outright Big
12 conference championships and
winning two Big 12 tournament
titles.
And while the Jayhawks didnt
win it all this season, because the
team went to the Final Four, it will
forever have a spot in Kansas bas-
ketball history. Next season, Allen
Fieldhouse will have another banner
hanging from the rafers one that
will read NCAA Final Four 2012.
It was one of our greatest sea-
sons, and it was because of you guys,
senior guard Jordan Juenemann said
to the crowd. Its so cool how the
sport of basketball, Kansas basket-
ball, can bring so many together, and
we just thank you for that.

OMAHA, Neb. Te Kansas
baseball team dug itself into a
hole early during Tuesday nights
game against Creighton. Kansas
lost the game 7-3 afer the Jay-
hawks freshman pitcher Drew
Morovick (2-2, 6.75) gave up two
runs to Creighton in the bottom
of the frst inning.
Both runs were unearned,
though, afer freshman center
felder Dakota Smith dropped a
fy ball with two outs and run-
ners on second and third bases.
Kansas (12-16) entered Tuesday
nights game tied for 10th in the
nation with a .979 felding per-
centage, but Smiths costly error
was the Jayhawks third in four
games.
Te Jayhawks cant aford to
play sloppy defense if they want
to be successful, as the team has
struggled ofensively so far this
season. Kansas hitters either
score in bunches or barely at all.
Tey couldnt score enough runs
again Tuesday at TD Ameritrade
Park in Omaha, Neb., and lost to
the Blue Jays by four runs.
Well just get back in practice
and start doing everything again
that we usually do, Smith said.
Weve been playing really good
defense. We just struggled a cou-
ple plays throughout the game.
Te Jayhawks tied the game
at two in the third inning afer
three hits. Senior third baseman
Zac Elgie led of the inning with
a double down the lef feld line.
Smith made up for his error by
driving Elgie home with a single
up the middle. Sophomore lef
felder Tucker Tarp laid down
a sacrifce bunt to move Smith
to second base. Smith then
scored on junior short stop Kevin
Kuntzs single.
Its huge, Kuntz said of Smith.
Like I just told him, you got to
keep your head up, stuf like thats
going to happen. You just got to
keep practicing and battling, and
you will work yourself out of it.
Morovick, who pitched on
Sunday, only threw two innings
on the night and was tagged with
Creightons two unearned runs.
Freshman Colin Toalson (0-0,
6.48) relieved Morovick in the
third.
Creighton took back the lead
in the fourth inning, scoring
another two runs of of back-to-
back doubles and a single. All
three hits came with two outs in
the inning.
Tarp helped the Jayhawks
again in the ffh inning, blasting
his frst home run of the season
into the Blue Jays bullpen in lef
feld to make the score 4-3. Te
solo shot was his second in his
career at Kansas.
I was glad to see him break
out, coach Ritch Price said of
Tarp. It was good to see him
come up and hammer a ball to
lef. We need somebody in the
middle of our lineup to start
making a productive out for us.
Te Jayhawks wouldnt score
again and the Blue Jays scored
three more times. Creighton
added one run in the seventh and
two in the eighth. Kansas used
fve pitchers total, and only se-
nior Jordan Jakubov didnt give
up a run.
Price lef Omaha unhappy with
the performance in the games
most prized venue at the colle-
giate level.
To be honest with you, I was
disappointed in every phase of the
game today, Price said. To walk
into the College World Series sta-
dium in front of a great crowd, we
did not play very well.
