rsalyer@kansan.com Crime reported on the Universitys Lawrence campus decreased last year, according to the 2011 criminal offense report released by the KU Office of Public Safety Thursday. The report showed that 660 crimes were reported on campus in 2011, down 4.6 percent from the 692 crimes reported in 2010. Major Chris Keary of the KU Office of Public Safety said he was pleased to see violent crime decrease for the second year in a row, which includes robbery,

on-Campus Crime falls

aggravated assault, rape and murder. Two violent crimes were reported in 2011, compared to three reported in 2010. Within the past 10 years, violent crimes were highest in 2009, with 15 reported on campus. There were no rapes reported on campus in 2011 with one rape reported in 2010, but Keary warned that rape can be underreported, and it is possible rape was still committed. Theft is still the most common crime on campus, accounting for 32 percent of crimes reported in 2011, up from 199 in 2010 to 212 in 2011, but Keary said it is nowhere near as bad as it used to be. In 2001, 362 thefts were reported, accounting for more than 40 percent of crimes reported on campus. We have really been focusing on education, Keary said. We need the community to watch their own stuff. Hopefully, the education paired with the increase in technology will continue to drive that number down. Keary said the Universitys office of public safety is adding more cameras on campus, and it has recently installed signs that notify individuals they are being recorded. Drug and narcotic offenses rose 33 percent while liquor law violations were down 25 percent, though Keary said the numbers were part of the same effort. The numbers are a result of the Universitys strong push to do something about the alcohol and drug problem among students, which we are happy to participate in, Keary said. He added that many of the 55 liquor violations in 2010 and 41 violations in 2011 were issued when the public safety office participated in the Fake ID Taskforce that started after two alcohol-related deaths occurred on campus in 2009. Erin Atwood, a senior from Topeka, said she had small things taken from her sorority house, but alcohol is still her biggest safety concern on campus. I dont feel unsafe living here, Atwood said, but the one thing I get nervous about in Lawrence is that there may be drunk drivers on the roads. There were 131 drunk driving arrests in 2010, and 85 drunk driving arrests by University police in 2011. Some of the arrests occurred off campus when drivers displayed signs of intoxication. Based on The Office of

Institutional Research and Planning report of 25,448 students in Fall 2011, the crime rate per 1,000 students is 25.9, a number Danny Murdoch, a freshman from Liberty, Mo. feels comfortable with. Obviously I know crime occurs, but I think its a good sign if I dont see or hear about anything happening, Murdoch said. I think its definitely a reassuring feeling that theres not a lot of it, and the University does a good job handling it. Edited by Caroline Kraft

Museum displays students thoughts

kcipolla@kansan.com The Spencer Museum of Arts Art Here! Art Now! event last Thursday night turned students into activists. Its just a way to get students out to the museum and see what we have going on, said Emily Bullard, a sophomore from Lakewood, Colo., who serves on the Spencer student advisory board. The evenings events were tied to current exhibits at the museum. Students could make a protest sign, get their photo taken with it and hang it on the outdoor display. They were also invited to write on the chalkboards in the central court that are part of Prepared: Strategies for Activists, the project of Spencers artist in residence, Chen Shaoxiong. Messages on the signs ranged from serious to humorous. Some addressed same-sex marriage and reproductive health rights, while others expressed dedication to popular book characters.

Romney set for GOP nomination for president in summer

aSSOCIateD pReSS
WASHINGTON Its over, and Mitt Romney is going to be the GOP nominee for president. Thats the growing consensus among Republican National Committee members who will automatically attend the partys national convention this summer and can support any candidate they choose. Even some members who support other candidates begrudgingly say the math doesnt add up for anyone but the former Massachusetts governor. I would be surprised if Romney doesnt get the number he needs, said Jeff Johnson of Minnesota, who supports former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Bob Bennett of Ohio was more blunt. Look, Gov. Romneys going to be the nominee, and hes going to have enough votes, said Bennett, who is publicly neutral but said he supported Romney four years ago. Romneys chief rival, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, is pledging to stay in the race, hoping a victory in his home states primary April 24 will give his campaign new life. But Santorum has fallen far behind Romney in the race for convention delegates, and RNC members are taking notice, even though most are publicly staying neutral, preferring to let primary voters decide the nominee. The Associated Press has polled 114 of the 120 superdelegates, party members who can support any candidate for president they choose at the national convention in August, regardless of what happens in primaries or caucuses. In the latest survey, conducted Tuesday to Friday, Romney has 35 endorsements, far more than anyone else but a modest figure for the apparent nominee. Gingrich has four endorsements, Santorum has two and Texas Rep. Ron Paul got one. RNC members have been slowly embracing Romney. He picked up 11 new endorsements since the last AP survey a month ago, after the Super Tuesday contests. Over the course of the campaign, however, Romney methodically has added endorsements from every region of the country. In the U.S. territories, where voters help decide the nominee but cant vote in the general election, Romney has dominated. Romney has endorsements from all three RNC members in Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands. released. He was endorsed by two of the three members in Puerto Rico. Romney may be struggling among voters in the South, but he was endorsed by two of the three committee members in Mississippi, Henry Barbour and Jeanne Luckey.

Students protest TSA procedures

ReBeKKa SChLIChtINg
rschlichting@kansan.com The Young Americans for Liberty student organization held a protest on Wescoe Beach Thursday to inform students of how the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) infringes on the fourth amendment, which protects Americans from unreasonable search and seizures. Taking away our freedoms is not the way to provide security, said Anthony Orwick, president of Young Americans for Liberty. According to USA Today, TSA pushed for x-ray, full-body scanners in 2009 after the underwear bomber, Umar Farouk attempted to smuggle chemical powder, pentaerythritol tetranitrate, which slipped through the traditional metal detectors. Orwick has seen examples of full-body scan photos online. He said the pictures looked like the persons naked body. Its super creepy and who knows who looked at those pictures. I didnt vote for this, Orwick said. The Young Americans for Libertys protest also informed students that Europe has banned the full-body scanners in airports because of its radiation threat to humans. David Conway, a freshman from Lawrence and member of the Young Americans for Liberty, has a personal connection to this cause. He served in the Army for six years after he graduated high school. In 2008, he was deployed to Iraq for a second time. In 2009, he was injured and temporarily confined to a wheel chair. He was sent back to America because of his injuries. After landing in a U.S. airport, he was told to get out of his wheel chair to be frisked in front of his fellow soldiers. When we were in Iraq, we were told we were fighting for our freedoms, Conway said. I came back to a country that seemed to be less free. Jaclyn Sewell, a senior from Andover, stopped to talk to Orwick during the protest and learned more about the international perspective on airplane security and the radiation threat of full body scanners. Sewell said she was always conscious of what she wore to an airport so that she wouldnt be harassed. Its a corrupt system, Sewell said. Edited by Nadia Imafidon

Rescue workers attempt to save 135 people after avalanche

ISLAMABAD Rescue workers used bulldozers Sunday to dig through huge banks of snow following a massive avalanche a day earlier that engulfed a military complex and buried at least 135 people, most of them soldiers, in a mountain battleground close to the Indian border. More than 24 hours after the disaster at the entrance to the Siachen Glacier, no bodies have yet been recovered, military officials said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. The army said 240 troops and civilians worked at the scene Sunday with the aid of sniffer dogs and heavy machinery, some of which was flown in on military aircraft. They struggled to dig through some 80 feet of snow, boulders, mud and slush that buried the rear
headquarters building in the Gayari sector early Saturday morning. Pakistani army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani visited the site Sunday to supervise rescue operations.

Space officials plan to push controversial rocket launch

space officials have moved all three stages of a long-range rocket into position for a controversial launch, vowing Sunday to push ahead with their plan in defiance of international warnings against violating a ban on missile activity. North Korea announced plans last month to launch an observation satellite using a three-stage rocket during mid-April celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the birth of North Korean founder Kim Il Sung. The U.S., Japan, Britain and other nations have urged North Korea to cancel the launch, warning that firing the long-range rocket would violate U.N. resolutions and North Koreas promise to refrain from engaging in

nuclear and missile activity. North Korea maintains that the launch is a scientific achievement intended to improve the nations faltering economy by providing detailed surveys of the countryside. No matter what others say, we are doing this for peaceful purposes, said Jang Myong Jin, general manager of the launch facility. Experts say the Unha-3 rocket slated for liftoff between April 12 and 16 could also test long-range missile technology that might be used to strike the U.S. and other targets. On Sunday, reporters were taken by train past desolate fields and sleepy farming hamlets to North Koreas new launch pad in Tongchangri in North Phyongan province, about 35 miles south of the border town

Former KGB chief shoots for victory in runoff election

tBILISI, Georgia A former KGB chief and a human rights ombudsman faced each other in Sundays runoff presidential election in Georgias breakaway province of South Ossetia. L e o n i d Tibilov, who led Tibilov the regions KGB before falling out with the former local president, won over 40 percent of the vote in the first round last month. Tibilov is expected to easily defeat his rival in the runoff, presidential human rights commissioner David
Sanakoyev, who polled 25 percent in the first round. South Ossetia depends entirely on subsidies from Russia, which recognized it as an independent state after the 2008 RussianGeorgian war and still has troops there. The ties with Moscow are expected to remain close no matter who becomes president of the province, which has a population of about 50,000. Only a handful of other countries have followed Russia in recognizing South Ossetias independence, while a Georgian economic blockade and misappropriation of lavish Russian aid have left the regional economy in shambles with widespread poverty and massive unemployment. Critics accused the government of former President Eduard Kokoity of embezzling Russian donations, while thousands of South Ossetians continue to live in half-destroyed houses and apartment buildings with irregular water and electricity supplies. South Ossetia first tried to elect a new president in November, when former education minister Alla Dzhioyeva appeared to have beaten a rival backed by the Kremlin and the former local president, but the results were disputed and a local court ordered a new vote.

NATIONAL SECURITy

U.N.s John Bolton visits campus

MARShALL SchMIDt
mschmidt@kansan.com Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton spoke about international threats to the U.S. Wednesday night at the Lied Center. Sponsored by the Business School as part of the Vickers Lecture Series, Bolton addressed national security threats he foresaw posed by China, Russia, North Korea, Iran and Egypt. For the last three plus years, we really have not focused on the international environment, Bolton said. That doesnt mean that our adversaries and challenges around the world have gone because we havent talked about them adequately. While Bolton said the focus has turned internally to the economy, he saw international and domestic matters as intertwined. Bolton outlined the seemingly peaceful rise of China coupled with Russias attempts to reestablish hegemony as posing instability for the U.S. Bolton then discussed the nuclear proliferation of North Korea and Iran as threatening Israeli and U.S. security. Iran is really the focal point today of our efforts to prevent nuclear proliferation, and lets make no mistake about it, we are failing badly, Bolton said. Iran is quite close to achieving its 20 yearlong objective of getting nuclear weapons. The former U.N. ambassador discussed efforts by previous administrations, both Republican and Democrat, to negotiate peacefully with Iran. We always look for alternatives, Bolton said. Were out of alternatives. A question and answer forum followed the speech where Bolton was asked about climate change affecting international policy. I dont profess to know enough to know whether the Earth is warming or not warming, Bolton said. I would not follow the notion that even if all these things are true, that more government control is going to solve the problem. The speech was met by protests from Occupy KU, Young Americans for Liberty and Peace Warriors. Before the speech, student members of Occupy KU laid in front of the Lied Centers entrance, pretending to be dead victims of war. Police eventually asked them to move to prevent blocking of the front doors. The best we can do is encourage student consciousness and involvement, said Tim Clark, junior from Lawrence and member of Occupy KU. Ariel Alexandrou, a senior from Dallas, attended the lecture to receive credit in her finance class. I found the talk about North Korea interesting, Alexandrou said. Having studied abroad in South Korea, she said most South Koreans did not seem to feel threatened by the North. Alexandrou disagreed with Bolton on the issue of climate, thinking global warming was indeed occurring and needed to be addressed. Edited by Nadia Imafidon

Priceless art stolen from British museum

LoNDoN Two Chinese artifacts with an estimated combined value of 2 million pounds ($3.2 million) have been stolen from a British museum, authorities said Saturday. Two men and a woman from the West Midlands area have been arrested in connection with the Thursday night theft at Durham universitys oriental Museum, but the items had not yet been recovered, police said. Two priceless artifacts were stolen when thieves broke into a ground-floor gallery at the museum: a large jade bowl with a Chinese poem written inside that dates back to 1769, and a Dehua porcelain sculpture.

Web series inspires celebrity kiss craze

people. Hes good at it or rather, good at trying. And famous people like letting him try: Paul Rudd, Ellen DeGeneres, Tracy Morgan, Christina Ricci, Amy Poehler, Elijah Wood, Kristen Wiig. Initially, though, OBrien just wanted to interview and make out with friends. Last July, he and his colleague Rob Klein were kicking around projects to work on during the SNL summer break. They jotted down a few ideas, and 7 Minutes seemed like the easiest and the funniest. Plus, OBrien had a little experience: Before SNL hired him in 2009, he had spent a decade as a mainstay of the Chicago improv scene, working as an instructor and performer at Second City and iO. He wrote a 30-minute play for Stage Left Theatre about couples who play Seven Minutes in Heaven; he also played Seven Minutes in Heaven himself with his improv friends, but innocently, at parties, more to enjoy the awkwardness than to do anything else. Being at SNL, his proximity to celebrity and a small budget provided by Lorne Michaels production company, Broadway Video changed those modest plans. Surprisingly, the innocence stayed. Partly because OBrien, often wearing a tie and a shortsleeve dress shirt and looking like the manager of a Taco Bell, is a self-described awkward person who asks awkward questions amiably (Can I call you Ron Draper? he asks Jon Hamm); and partly because the series is so intimate (the cameras trained close to the faces), guests mostly drop whatever facade they typically carry into the usual media-centric situations. Which places 7 Minutes in Heaven somewhere between the heartfelt confession of Marc Marons WTF podcast and the surreal improv of Zach Galifianakis Funny or Die Web series Between Two Ferns, a talk show thats more of a charming critique of the faked intimacy of celebrity interviews than a talk show. In fact, 7 Minutes in Heaven is such a Web success the first 18 episodes have been watched more than 2.5 million times on YouTube, and OBrien just began posting the first of 10 episodes hes making for Yahoo we thought it was only fair that he share tips, should we find ourselves in a closet with a celebrity.

CRYPToquIP

CHICAGO Mike OBrien is 35 and single, lives in New York and works as a staff writer for Saturday Night Live. He is earnest and polite, comes from a long line of South Side Chicago Irish and has the gentle features of a choirboy. Now that you know a bit about this fine young man ... well, it may seem forward but he would like to make out. With you. Mike OBrien would like to make out with you. No, no: Please, hear him out. He has this Web series, 7 Minutes in Heaven With Mike OBrien. Its becoming kind of a big deal, Internet-wise. Its also wonderful, revealing, uncomfortable, funny, sweet and exactly what youd imagine: OBrien stands inside a closet with someone, engages in awkward small talk for a few minutes, then makes a move. Oh, wait are you famous? Mike OBrien isnt shallow and stuck up like some people! If he likes the person hes in the closet with, they dont have to be a household name to be considered for my lips, he said. Still, come on: OBrien likes kissing famous

Gores TV network slams olbermann

MCCLATChY TRIBuNe
LOS ANGELES Al Gores Current TV is blasting back at fired host Keith Olbermann. In a court filing Friday, the network attacked the liberal opinion-maker as arrogant and i m m at u re Olbermann and said that he had failed to show up for nearly half of his recent workdays. The papers were a response to Olbermanns $70 million breach-of-contract lawsuit filed Thursday against Current, which hired him as its star last year but dismissed him in late March after months of turmoil. Current said it doesnt have to pay a dime to Olbermann, who, having already been paid handsomely for showing up sporadically and utterly failing to keep his end of the bargain, now seeks to be paid tens of millions more for not working at all. The papers also point out that Olbermann told David Letterman, during a TV appearance this week, that I screwed up at Current. The network, founded by the former vice president with legal entrepreneur Joel Hyatt, accuses Olbermann of leaking his $10 million salary to the media to help justify his decision to join Current, which has roughly 68 million subscribers but very low ratings. In utter disregard of his contract, the host rejected every idea to promote his program, the papers say, and even banned his staff at Countdown from speaking with the executive vice president of communications. He arrogantly and falsely calls cheap the company that has paid him the highest compensation he had ever received in his career, provided him the largest staff of any program he had ever anchored, the papers say.

Titanic resurfaces in its extraordinary way over this week with TV specials timed to the 100th anniversary of its sinking this month. Deep-sea explorer Bob Ballard, who in 1985 found the luxury liners dismembered corpse strewn across acres of the North Atlantics floor, brings one of the best for those intrigued by the disaster in Save the Titanic (10 p.m. Monday, National Geographic Channel). Ballard is perhaps the foremost advocate for protecting the wreck, which has become a target for salvors and even deep-sea tourists. On his first expedition to the wreck 27 years ago, he found the ships crows nest from which lookout Frederick Fleet first sighted the outline of doom and shrieked to the bridge, Iceberg right ahead! still high above the deck. Now mysteriously missing, the crows nest was knocked off into a cargo hold, he believes, by a rogue Russian submarine that visits the ships grave with passengers who pay $60,000 for the trip. As more deep-sea vehicles

are developed, the ship will be increasingly looted, he believes. Ballard has been vocal about preserving the wreck as a memorial to those who built the ship and died with it, a stance that has put him at odds with groups like RMS Titanic, which exhibits artifacts it plucked from the bottom in a Las Vegas casino. From a submarine, Ballard once placed a memorial plaque on the deck of the Titanic. Its gone now. A salvage crew picked it up and dropped it into an exposed toilet on the wreck, Ballard says. That tells you who youre dealing with. He says he got the information from someone connected to that dive. Not everyone thought that was cool. He also visits Belfast, Northern

Ireland, where the ship was built and examines the original plans for the liner, the pinnacle of luxury and technology for its time. He interviews descendants of the Guarantee Group nine men who helped construct Titanic and who were picked to represent Belfasts shipbuilders on the maiden voyage. All perished, still revered by their descendants. I thought I knew everything there was to know about the Titanic, then I learned about the Guarantee Group, Ballard said in an interview. They never found their bodies. Their families have been silent for 100 years. It was an honor to tell their stories.

To my gay best friend: I wasnt angry because you borrowed my favorite pair of skinny jeans, it was because you looked better in them. Sports Illustrated ranked Kansas as 17th for next preseason. Bill Self: Challenge accepted! Ive noticed my roommates ramen intake has increased this week. There must be a chem exam coming up. Yes, I know what sport is played at Hoglund, and yes, I have been to a game there. Its amazing. At the end of the month I bring home all of the UDK newspapers to my family and read the FFA aloud. Today, I finally got the guts to text this cute girl in my psych class. I started sending flirtatious texts, only to find out the hard way that shed given me her boyfriends number. A student ambassador just described Watson as Hogwarts-y. That will win all the high schoolers over. Dear doctored peanut butter smoothie guy in The Underground: You are my hero. You were so cute, and then you started smoking. Just watched a lady leave her little kids in the Union alone while she went to class real quick. This is not a daycare. Allow me to verbalize my facial expression: Im tired and very uninterested in what youre saying. Stop talking. I hate waking up, getting ready, and walking to class only to find out that it is cancelled. I have been calling someone the wrong name all semester and now that I know, it is awkward. Just read an article about the air guitar championship in Lawrence. Why does this exist? Tell me why, when I hear the steam whistle, I instinctively check the time on my phone. Has anyone actually received a lemon from life? To the guy watching golf during the calc lecture: Youre supposed to distract yourself with things more interesting than the lecture. Do feminists hate Dan the bus driver? He greets every girl with hot stuff, girlfriend, or girl. personally, I think its hilarious. That awkward moment when you think you see the Easter bunny, but it is just a squirrel. Witnessed a crucifixion. Just another day on Wescoe Beach. I just sat down on a toilet seat and it was warm.

ast December, the editorial board wrote about the Hertz on Demand rental car service that was to become available for use in January. The rental car service was seen as a way to combat drunk driving; friends without cars would be able to rent a car to pick up a friend who was out drinking. The online rental service was expected to make renting a car convenient and equally available for all students. Since January 12th, the

Campus car service is a success

arrival of the cars, the monthly numbers of members, vehicle hours driven and overall utilization have all steadily risen. There are four cars in the program and students are able to go online through www. parking.ku.edu/hertzondemand to rent the cars. Students can even see on the page, where the cars are located on campus. There are two on Daisy Hill and two at the Kansas Union, so students and faculty alike can easily access the service. The service regularly holds discounts, it is a service that is clearly marketed toward being available and accessible to students who arent able to afford or dont want to have their cars with them in college. The Hertz on Demand service asks users to become members, which is a free service that allows 24/7 access to rental services. The number of members has grown from a mere 68 in January to 218, which is greater than the March goal of 200 members. Likewise, utilization has risen from 2.25 percent in January to 19.79 percent in March. Officials in the KU Parking and Transit office said that they wont consider adding more cars until utilization reaches 30 percent, which appears to be a benchmark at other universities. The rental service is good for the university. It is easily accessible and inexpensive compared to bringing a your own car to college. Most importantly, it is a great way to the fight against student drunk driving. To find out more, visit www.parking. ku.edu/hertzondemand, like KU on Wheels on Facebook for updates about Hertz on Demand, follow the parking office on twitter @ parkingKU or call the parking office at 785-864-PARK (7275).

Sensational view of the U.S. Friendships with is more fanatic than realistic partners parents may cross the line O
nce a week, I teach a one hour English lesson to a group of Italian speaking 11-year-olds at a public school in Bologna, Italy. My job is to get them excited about speaking English. Their job is to listen to me ever-soattentively and take vigorous notes. After the first couple of days, I realized I had complete control of the classroom. Like most things are run in Italy, I was given no instructions or specifications. Literally, the teacher would walk out and leave me in there alone with them. This is where it gets fun. One of my first lessons, I brought in a giant map of the U.S. to talk about all the different states. I ask them what places do you know about in the U.S.? They say New York! California! Las Vegas! Texas was also popular. Italian kids love talking about cowboys and the West. There is an Italian film called Un Americano a Roma where the famous Italian comedian Alberto Sordi runs around Rome pretending to be a cowboy from Kansas City. Almost everyone here has seen this film, so when I say Im from Kansas, the first thing they think of isnt Il Mago di Oz (The Wizard of Oz) but this Western-style Italian comedy. For them, I am a cowgirl from a farm living in the West. Ive been slowly trying to convince them that theyre thinking of Texas. For some crazy reason during our cowboy discussion I decided to bring up the Alamo. Of course Italians dont know what the Alamo is, and I dont really either so who knows why

By Bernadette Myers
bmyers@kansan.com

I mentioned it, but I couldnt just leave it unexplained. Well the Alamo is a fort... in Texas. And during this one battle.... 100 Texans were in the fort. And they had to hold out against.... 1000 Mexicans! And they all died! Yes, I actually told this completely inaccurate story. I threw in the numbers just for effect, and I really could not remember who was fighting who or what the whole story was. It escalated from there when we got to the middle of the U.S. What in the world can you say about those states that 11-year-old Italian kids will care about? I just completely skipped Nebraska and told them that you can only find buffalo in North Dakota. After this U.S. geography lecture, I spent a day talking about Thanksgiving. Its virtually impossible to explain the politically correct story to a group of non-English speaking children. So, instead the Indians (who they described as redskinned and as always wearing headdresses) are best friends with the white man and we always eat dinner together every November. I eventually gave up on actual academic topics because they werent really into it. Instead, I switched to pop culture. We spent an entire class period on the lyrics to Lady Gagas Born This Way. They seemed to like this lecture a little more than my usual lies so the next week I decided to do something a little more interactive.

What is the one song that they play at every middle school mixer? And everyone knows the dance to? The Cha Cha Slide! I explained to them the gravity of the situation. If they even wanted to understand kids their age in the states, if they ever wanted to be cool, they would have to learn this dance. Face it, it was a big deal in middle school. First, we went over the key words. Stomp. Clap. Reverse. Charlie brown. Very integral English words. Then I played the song for them once through. They were silent. Ok, this time everyone has to stand up and dance! They got up grumbling. I knew what this meant, I wouldnt be able to just sit down and watch them stomp out the steps, I was going to have to Cha Cha as well. Despite the now 10 years since Ive been to a middleschool mixer, I still had the moves. They loved me! Maybe they were just secretly laughing at me rather than at how much fun they were having. All I can say is that when the song finished they asked for it again. So we Cha-Cha-ed one more time! At the end of the lesson, I received my very first standing ovation. My plan is working. Ill be coming home to America with a small army of brainwashed Italian children.

Student makes Glamours Top 10 College Women

KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com Traveling the world and capturing images of beauty in unexpected places earned Sarah Stern, a junior from Lawrence, a spot in the pages of this months issue of Glamour. Stern was selected for the magazines annual Top 10 College Women feature, which highlights the work of promising students across the country. Its just the latest chapter in Sterns exciting college experience, which has included documenting life in a gangoccupied slum in Rocinha, Brazil for three weeks. Those photos were recently released in a book, Favela Da Rocinha, Brazil. Proceeds from the book will go to local arts programs in the community where Stern captured the images. Before leaving for Paraguay, Stern spoke to the Kansan about her adventures and seeing herself in print. Q: How did you get started taking photographs in Latin America? A: I put together the things that I love. I love photography, I love people and I love traveling. It just seemed like a natural fit. Q: Youve had some interesting encounters on your travels, including a brush with a gang lord after he stole your partners camera. What was that experience like? A: We were in the favela. He lost his camera because he was taking photos where he shouldnt have been taking photos. He accidentally snapped a photo of someone selling drugs and they came and took his camera from him. I started networking for the next week and a half and that eventually led to him getting his camera back. I think it was one of those moments where I looked back later and was like, You are so lucky. But in the moment, it was adrenaline. I just knew that I had to be ok, but I didnt have to be ok obviously. I could have been in a lot of trouble. Later he was arrested. It was in the New York Times. He didnt look like a gang lord like you would expect. He wasnt super scary or anything, but later on, reading the article, I found out he was like cremating people in the forest. Q: What was the process like to become one of Glamours top 10 college women? A: I was on my way back from Brazil, and I bought a Glamour at the airport. I was reading it on the way back and thought hmm.... Basically, its an application process. I turned in some photos and an essay, then the interview process lasted three months. They would call and ask questions. Then they sent an email saying I was a finalist. I was just ecstatic. I think I was in the library studying for something, and I ran outside and called my mom. Q: Any plans for the future yet? A: There are a lot of things that Im trying to combine. Im trying to fulfill a lot of interests. I have these things that I love and I know them and I know me really well. I try to keep my eyes open for the next opportunity. They have a way of just landing on my doorstep. I try to stay open for the next thing. Edited by Caroline Kraft

Oil prospectors flock to Kansas plains

ASSOCAItED PRESS
MEDICINE LODGE, Kan. Between the buttes and rolling terrain of the Gypsum Hills in southcentral Kansas, a massive drilling rig grinds deep into the earth, seeking to reach the oil-rich Mississippian Lime formation buried some 5,000 feet deep. Just beyond the rig, Robert Murdock intently watches its progress and waxes confidently about the wealth under his feet. It will enrich the area in a way it never has before economically, the independent oilman says loudly, nearly shouting to be heard above the cacophony of clanging pipes and heavy equipment. Prospectors like Murdock are punching holes across southcentral Kansas, a gold rush-style hunt for oil and gas that players say could yield big returns not just for oil producers but also for the states economy. The boom is occurring even as natural gas exploration begins to slow nationally.

energy production will make us a leading energy producing state. But with horizontal drilling still in its infancy here, all those economic impacts have yet to be fully felt. Locals, who have seen other oil booms come and go, remain wary. We are excited about it and we are hopeful, said Ed Cross, president of the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association. We just want to be cautious looking at the potential. We dont want to overstate it. The potential production from the Mississippian Lime Play and its impact on domestic energy supplies remains uncertain. But the use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to unlock energy supplies previously unavailable in the United States is now in play in places like Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. We believe this is a game changer, said Shell spokesman Scott Scheffler. And we hope the Mississippian will be one piece of that. Just ask Kevin White, senior vice president of business development at Oklahoma-based SandRidge Energy Inc. His company has already spent $350 million to acquire nearly 2 million acres of mineral rights in Kansas and Oklahoma with a majority of those leased acres located across a vast swath of central Kansas. Kansas as a percentage of what we are doing will just get bigger and bigger every year because it has got the most undrilled acreage left that we need to go drill, White said.

We didnt come in intense and focused and that hurt us. Smith said the key for Kansas was securing at least one victory against a top-25 team for their ultimate goal of making the NCAA Regionals in May. Saturdays victory becomes all the more important as Kansas heads back to Lawrence for a 13-game home stand. The victory marks the third conference win for Kansas, the most in a season since Smith took over before the 2010 season. Naudin just hopes that the team brings the same intensity to every home game that it displayed on Saturday. It definitely gives us momentum to come win every game we can at home, Naudin said.

Kansas scores eleven victories in Emporia

MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com EMPORIA Saturday began with pouring rain, but the sun eventually dried the track at Welch Stadium, allowing the Kansas track and field team to shine at the Emporia State Relays. The Kansas distance runners traveled to Stanford to compete with the top runners of those events. With many of the teams best athletes not competing like Mason Finley, Demi Payne, Heather Bergman and Alena Krechyk, it was still a meet that indicated this team is going in the right direction early in the outdoor track and field season. Kansas finished the day with victories in 11 events. We wanted some areas to do really well and they did, coach Redwine said. I was really impressed with Paris Daniels 100 and 200 surprisingly well. Other than that everyone just competed hard today and I was very pleased to see that. Junior Paris Daniels was impressive in the 200-meter dash and even more so in the 100-meter, setting a meet record. Sophomore Alex English and freshman Greg Lupton each jumped to a personal record in the pole vault. Senior Tessa Turcotte won her first collegiate race in the 5,000-meter race, and junior Josh Baden was the winner of the mens 5,000-meter. Sophomore Diamond Dixon just edged senior Shayla Wilson at the finish line of the 800-meter race, after Wilson led the whole race. I think Diamond should be going up to Shayla and giving her a big hug and tell her thank you. Redwine said Diamond did a good job in passing Shayla at the end, thats just preperation work for her 400. Still, it was the first and second meet for some of the athletes competing. Junior Danesha Morris wanted a better time than the 55.01 seconds she ran going into the 400-meter dash. It was her first race of the outdoor season, a winning

ANAHEIM, Calif. Eric Hosmer and Billy Butler homered and drove in three runs apiece, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-3 Sunday, taking two of three in their season-opening series. Jonathan Sanchez (1-0) survived through five innings to win his first start with the Royals, who dampened the revamped Angels much-hyped home debut with two victories after getting shut out on opening day. Albert Pujols went 2 for 3 with a double and two walks, driving in his first run for the Angels with a first-inning groundout. Los Angeles new $240 million slugger went 3 for 10 with two doubles in his first three games at Angel Stadium. Vernon Wells homered in the eighth, but Los Angeles again struggled defensively and on the mound. Ervin Santana (0-1) yielded seven hits and six runs while failing to get out of the sixth inning. Howie Kendrick and Pujols reached base to open the ninth, but Jonathan Broxton relieved Aaron Crow and struck out Torii Hunter, Wells and Kendrys Morales for an impressive finish to his first save for the Royals. Butler hit a two-run homer in the first inning, and Hosmer added a two-run shot in the fifth before scoring his third run of the day on Butlers double in the seventh. Hosmer, the Royals prized 22-year-old first baseman, also homered Saturday for the majors youngest team, getting off to a dynamic start to his first full major league season. Sanchez allowed four hits and three walks, but was resilient in his debut for the Royals, who acquired him last November in a trade with San Francisco for Melky Cabrera. Sanchez won 38 games and a World Series ring over six seasons with the Giants, but had a winning record just once in four years as a regular starter. After ace Jered Weaver blanked the Royals for eight innings on opening day, the next two pitchers in the Angels vaunted rotation havent lived up to their billing.

after two-week break, team ready for next tournament

tREVOR GRAff
tgraff@kansan.com The Kansas Womens golf team competes in the Knights and Pirates Invitational at Suntree Country Club in Melbourne, Fla., today. The tournament marks the last tournament of the regular season. The Jayhawks are looking to improve on a 14th place finish at the Mountain View Collegiate after a two-week break. Weve stayed focused on our short game and we played quite a bit, said coach Erin ONeil. The more we can find ways to put them in pressure situations and the more they can practice, well start to see that carry over to the course and competition. The Jayhawks have never played the course at Suntree Country Club. The course features several doglegs, holes that feature a sharp bend in the middle, and water hazards. These obstacles are leading coach Oneil to focus on course management and keeping the ball in the fairway in practice. This weeks lineup includes senior Katy Nugent, junior Audrey Yowell, sophomores Meghan Potee and Thanuttra Boonraksasat and freshman Michelle Woods. The two-week break allowed the teams freshmen, Gabriella DiMarco and Woods, to make improvements in their short games and ball striking. The tournaments 15-team field includes Texas Tech, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Boston College and No. 32 Purdue, alongside tournament hosts Central Florida and East Carolina. Its a good mix of teams. Oneil said. If we could finish well here, it would definitely help in the rankings and be a good confidence boost going into the conference tournament. Oneil said the keys for Kansas success this week are keeping the ball in the fairway off the tee, managing the course well and putting the ball well. These three points have been a consistent theme this season for the Jayhawks. The Jayhawks have developed a sense of team in an individual game. Golf is such an individual sport, weve been trying to find ways to promote a sense of team, Oneil said. One example of this was a worst shot scramble the team played in practice last week. Instead of picking the best ball off the tee shot like in a normal scramble, the three-player groups chose the worst ball, allowing them to practice pressure shots and getting out of trouble. The Jayhawks move to postseason play after this weeks event. They will host the Big 12 tournament in Lawrence April 27-29. Edited by Max Lush

paid off right here tonight. Michael Stigler said after the race about what he was thinking when the baton was passed to him. Even coach Redwine was impressed by the final leg of the freshman sprinter. I thought it was awesome. He ran 46.5 seconds, thats probably his first time running 46.5, he did a phenomenal job and competed exceptionally well. Edited by Pat Strathman

Mens GolF

Putting will be key at Talking stick Golf club in arizona

tgraff@kansan.com The Kansas mens golf team begins play today in the Cowboy Classic at Talking Stick Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz. The 24-team field includes conference foes Texas Tech and Kansas State. The par-70 course raises the importance of the short game. The depth is pretty good, there are typically some pretty good teams here, said coach Kit Grove. Its a good golf course. Its very playable and the weather looks like its going to be perfect as usual out here. The Jayhawks continue to work on consistency on the course, with players poised to break the top ten at any time, coach Grove said it is a matter of putting it together as a team. Its been a strange year. The perfect example is Doug last week, Grove said of senior Doug Quinones. He plays well the first day and is just outside the top 10, Five days before hes playing off for his spot in the lineup. Thats just been how we are this year. Our consistency just isnt there. Six Jayhawks have finished 21st or better this season, but the team hasnt finished better than eighth in any tournament this season. Grove cant put a finger on what is causing the inconsistency, but said the team hasnt done a great job of finishing off rounds. Its the biggest cliche in golf, but its one shot at a time on the course, said Grove. The young kids get in there, and you hate to say it, but theyre still kids, and they start thinking about the tough tee shot they have to hit in two holes versus the easy wedge shot they have right in front of them. For us, its all about staying in the moment. Grove focuses on keeping players loose on the course and focusing on the shot at hand. He also helps players pick good targets to aim at off the tee and for approaching the green.

This approach is especially important with two freshman, Dylan McClure and David Auer, in the lineup. We need two guys to put it together in the same week, and two more to play decent, Grove said. We have two guys play poorly everyday, and even in the tournaments where our scores were typically better, we were still counting four, five and six-over for one man. That takes away from the work, hopefully your first three have done. Junior Alex Gutesha is familiar with Talking Stick Golf Club. He played there last season and a few times on his own over the summer. Gutesha said he is working on his consistency on the course. He said he is focusing on putting and improving

his scoring over the past week of practice. Gutesha works with a mental coach once a week to help prepare for the mental element of golf. You cant let shots affect you, Gutesha said. Whatever happens, happens. You cant control it. You dont focus at all on outcome goals like your score or what place you want to get. While your playing, you just focus on that shot, and hitting the best shot possible. The Jayhawks will play two rounds Monday and the Final round Tuesday. After the Cowboy Classic, the Jayhawks head to the Western Intercollegiate April 14-15. Edited by Max Lush

An inside account: weekend trip takes its toll

MItch coLAhAN
mcolahan@kansan.com Bags line the hallways, people rushing in and out with their backpacks and briefcases, a normal Thursday in the McCarthy Family Clubhouse. The Kansas baseball team is preparing to load up for a trip down to Stillwater to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys. As managers, our main job is logistics, make sure nothing is forgotten when the team leaves for Oklahoma. We spent the night before laying out the jerseys and travel bags for each player making the trip. Now we scan the locker room and the rest of the facility to make sure no equipment is left behind. Once the bus is all packed up the entire team and staff is aboard for the four-and-a-half hour trip, the aisle of the bus becomes a jungle of bodies and limbs as everyone tries to find the most comfortable position to nap or relax. The bus pulls into Stillwater around 6 p.m. and 20 minutes later we are on our way to practice at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium. After practice, everyone goes their separate way to relax and prepare for the next three days. Traveling with the team as a manager is different than as a player. Throughout the next three days we try to make the players and coaches lives a little easier. While most college students are partying their weekends away, we are traveling the country, ballpark to ballpark because we love baseball. Our jobs do not have much glamour. Before each game we help with batting practice and after each game Carlos Ramirez and I have the inglorious job of collecting the wet and rancid clothes from the players for laundry. The fun for us is during the game. Carlos, Alec Hall, Jake Nelson, Travis Ice and I record video and chart the games for scouting reports. The film will be used by the players and coaches between series, or at least we hope. Friday starts off with a morning hitting session for the team. Then after a few hours of relaxing and a pregame meal at McAlisters we go back to the ballpark for game one. On Friday, the guys battled but just fell short losing 7-6. While everyone on the team is usually a fun bunch, on a night like tonight our job is to pack everything up and just stay out of the way. They are, for good reason, pretty upset. By Saturday morning, as we eat breakfast at the hotel, everyone is back to their relaxed self. During the pregame meal senior catcher James Stanfield and I play several different games of Friends with Dice to pass the time. It is a sloppy and wet Saturday so the team has batting practice indoors. Once again the game does not go our way, so we are back to the hotel to rest up, sort through clothes, video and homework hoping to bounce back Sunday. While this trip was a little tough for the guys, traveling and working for the baseball team is usually a great time. Whether we are in Nashville, San Antonio or Stillwater, we think we have the coolest college job ever, because we work at a ballpark. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar

local fan group Mass street Mob cheers on sporting Kc

MIKE VERNoN
mvernon@kansan.com On the side street of 10th and Massachusetts, the Mass Street Mob gathered for the Sporting Kansas City game. But this is not the angry, pitchfork-carrying mob thats often portrayed on television. This mob wears matching powder blue shirts and scarfs. This mob sings and claps for their team. This mob, is the second biggest supporting group in the KC Cauldron Sporting KCs raucous fan section. So the Mass Street Mob members waited off Massachusetts St. for their buses. They guarded eight 30 packs of Budweiser and Bud Light, in anticipation for Sporting KCs game against the Los Angeles Galaxy, last years Major League Soccer champions. This is going to be wild, Drew Rich, a mob member and Kansas alumnus said. Then two busses pulled up, with the words Redy 2 Party painted across them. Beers were passed out instantly, as it was time to celebrate the Mob heading to its home Livestrong Park. While the group was expecting 60 people to attend Saturdays game against the Galaxy, 100 fans showed up. Its twitter account has 432 followers and its Facebook page has 132 likes. In only one year, the group has grown from 20 soccer-loving friends in Lawrence, into something bigger. It started up last year and it blew up, Mob founder Daniel Novin said. It came out of nowhere. One drunken night, Novin, Rich, and their friend Adam Crifasi, decided to act on an idea. The three of them frequently watched soccer games the Red Lyon Tavern on Massachusetts St. For them, it was time to put something together with the soccer fans they knew in Lawrence. They had followed the Kansas City Wizards as it re-branded itself into Sporting KC. Basically we knew there was a lot of people in Lawrence that liked soccer, Crifasi said. We just wanted to group them all together to have a good time. And a good time is exactly what they were having Saturday. The Mass Street Mob came to life on the bus ride. The Mob began to practice the cheers that they would soon be singing for 90 minutes of action. Finally, it was show time. The Mob made its way into Livestrong Park, took their seats together in the Cauldron, and began to sing and cheer with the other Sporting KC fans. In front of a sellout crowd, two popular Major League Soccer teams battled back and forth. And the day got better for Sporting KC fans when Forward Kei Kamara scored in the 40th minute, to give Sporting a 1-0 lead that they would finish with. And on their way out of the stadium, all the way home to the Red Lyon Tavern, the Mass Street Mob continued to sing. And one of their hymns seemed so fitting. We love ya, we love ya, we love ya, the Mob sang. And where you go well follow, well follow, well follow. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar

Hes not Superman. Hes just a great player. Thomas Robinson on Anthony Davis espn.com

Robinson and Taylor have NBA potential

ith the college basketball season finally over, most players will focus on the offseason to continue to improve and mature. For others, its a chance to improve their draft stock for the upcoming National Basketball Association draft. Kansas may not be loaded with top picks, but it does have two players that have a great chance to succeed in the NBA.

really shines. The double-double machine led the Jayhawks in scoring with 17.7 points per game and rebounding with 11.9 rebounds per game. Robinson passed Drew Gooden for most double-doubles in a single season with 27. The downside to Kansas shining star is his scoring ability. Robinson can make the highlight dunk, but some question his ability to score with different post moves. Still, Robinson is projected to be selected in the top five of the NBA draft. Athletic big men are huge assets to many teams and some of the worst

Unlike Robinson, Taylor wont be going in the first round, but that shouldnt stop him. Taylor has a great chance to get selected. Taylor has many attributes that can help an NBA team. Taylor is a tall, lengthy point guard at 6-foot-3. Lengthy point guards can cause matchup problems and Taylor fits that role. As a third team All-American, Taylor can also make plays. There are few guards in college basketball that can attack the basket like he can. His quickness and ability to finish through contact really make him a lethal scorer. Although getting to the rim is a positive, Taylor will have to bury jump shots to succeed. He did have five 20-point efforts in the last 11 games, but he still can be inconsistent with his jumpshot.

In the NBA, organizations draft based on potential. If the player has an athletic body, but doesnt have all the tools to be a star, most teams will select that player and develop him as a player. Robinson fits that role. Robinson is 6-foot-10 and weighs 237 pounds. His frame alone puts Robinson near the top with National Player of the Year Anthony Davis of Kentucky. Add his statistics and Robinson

ThomAs Robinson, junioR, foRwARD

Dont forget about the three-point arc being pushed back in the NBA compared to the NCAA. Taylor was 1-21 from behind the arc in the NCAA Tournament. Taylor will be a nice asset for teams that rely on solid point guards and are looking for a backup. Fourteen players from Kansas currently play in the NBA and after the NBA draft, two more players will most likely join them. edited by Tanvi nimkar

Campos job wont be easy

COMMENTARY

Andrew joSeph
ajoseph@kansan.com

Swept AwAy

cgoble@kansan.com

ave Campo, Kansas new defensive coordinator, may have the toughest job in college football. His task, in a nutshell: Revitalize a defense that was very likely the worst in BCS conferences last season. Just six starters return, none of whom started regularly before last year. Two of the three best defensive players seniors Toben Opurum and Bradley McDougald came to Lawrence to play offense. In 2011, the Jayhawks gave up more yards per play and yards per game than any other FBS team. Only 1-11 New Mexico gave up more touchdowns. Kansas was one of seven teams in the country to average less than one sack per game and one of six teams to allow opponents to convert more than 50 percent of third downs. Finding positives is like finding a winning Mega Millions ticket. Campo has a relatively clean slate, though, and his job is to make this unit acceptable. It wont be easy, but he has the right mindset. In a press conference Thursday, Campo made it clear that he realizes just how much work his defense needs to do to start being competitive. They werent very good defensively last year, so to think that were just going to walk out there and dominate everybody defensively, its just not going to happen, Campo said, according to KU Athletics. What we are going to do is make everybody accountable; the guys that we count on are the ones that will play four quarters of football. The defense needs a leader or two. Campo said one has yet to emerge. A leader can be a lot of things, but usually its a pretty good football player that everybody has a lot of respect for, Campo said. At this point, your guys Toben and Greg Brown that have played some have more people looking at them, but I dont think anybody feels like they can step up right now because theyre fighting for their own lives. None of what Campo said Thursday is all that encouraging on the surface. No player is a lock to start, which means that there arent any players with superior talent. Campo talked about players needing to treat spring practices like a tryout. Most teams in the Big 12 are looking to fill a couple holes in spring practices, not rebuild an entire unit from the top down. But what Campo is really saying is definitely encouraging. He knows he doesnt have a ton of talent, so his players must improve on a daily basis. No starting jobs are guaranteed, so you can bet every player will be gunning to play on Saturdays. If Campo can remain zeroed in on his task making the defense somewhat tolerable and able to keep Kansas in ballgames the Jayhawk faithful will reap the rewards in a couple of years. Dont grade Campo on the defenses successes or failures in 2012. Any kind of improvement on last year would be an accomplishment. Edited by Max Lush

The Kansas baseball team fell victim to a series sweep at Oklahoma State, dropping the final game of a three-game set 4-2 on Sunday. The loss drops Kansas to a 2-7 record in the Big 12 and 12-19 overall. A strong showing against Oklahoma State would have given Kansas a spot in the top half of the Big 12 standings, but the Jayhawks failed to take advantage of the opportunity in Stillwater after losing the first two games 7-6 and 11-1. Kansas currently sits last in the Big 12 standings, and the next conference series begins Friday in Lawrence against top10 ranked Texas A&M. Junior pitcher Thomas Taylor took the mound on Sunday, but his bid to salvage the series final game got off to a rough start. Taylor allowed two runs in the first on three hits, but he settled in until the sixth and seventh innings. Taylor allowed four runs on seven hits in 6.1 innings.

Freshmans grand slam seals victory

Alec tilSon
atilson@kansan.com For the second weekend in a row, the Kansas softball team entered the third game of its series looking to avoid a sweep in conference play This time, unlike last weekend, Kansas rallied. The Jayhawks (24-12, 3-9) jumped on the No. 22 Baylor Bears (26-13, 3-7) for six runs in the first two innings and won the third game 6-1 on Saturday. Freshman infielder Chanin Naudin, who was moved up in the lineup from eighth to fifth after Fridays 3-0 defeat in the series first game, hit a grand slam in the second inning on Saturday. Her first career grand slam followed a four-hit, two-run first inning and gave Kansas a firm grip on the game. That was huge, coach Megan Smith said. She battled that atbat and she just killed the ball. It was a no-doubter. The early lead provided plenty of breathing room for freshman pitcher Alicia Pille (12-6). Pille pitched seven innings, allowed one unearned run and struck out six in her second appearance of the series. Pille said the run support took pressure off her job in the circle.

sophomore infielder ashley Newman celebrates with her teammates after rounding the bases on thursday evenings game against the Butler Wildcats. over the course of the game the Jayhawks sent seven hitters over the home-base plate. It really sets the tone, Pille said. It shows that we are here to play and shows everyone we werent there to get swept. The Kansas lineup also featured freshman infielder Maddie Stein batting in the third spot for the first time this season. Stein started all three games throughout the weekend after earning her first start of the season last week. Smith admired the poise and calmness of both Stein and Naudin and expects both freshmen to continue to bat toward the top of the lineup. Theyre both clutch hitters, Smith said. Theyre very calm, they come through, and theyre really good at working hard and making adjustments. Saturdays victory came after a disappointing doubleheader opened the series on Friday. Kansas scored just one run in the two-game set, losing the second game 6-1. In both games, Baylor scored a lot of runs late in the game that Kansas could not overcome. Despite pitching well through-
