Because of a new law passed
unanimously by the Kansas
Legislature on March 21, driving
under the influence in Kansas is
about to become even more dan-
gerous.
If a driver injures someone
while under the influence of alco-
hol or drugs, he or she could, if the
bill is signed into law, be charged
with aggravated battery on top of
a DUI.
In House Bill 2218, aggravated
battery, a felony charge, is defined
as knowingly causing great bodily
harm to another person or disfig-
urement of another person. This
contrasts with misdemeanor bat-
tery, defined in the bill as know-
ingly or recklessly causing bodily
harm to another person.
However, in a 1998 Kansas
Supreme Court case, State v. Huser,
the court ruled that driving under
the influence on its own was not
enough to convict a defendant of
aggravated battery in an injury
case.
A portion of the Courts deci-
sion read simply driving under
the influence does not, standing
alone, amount to reckless behavior.
Ones behavior is only reckless if
he or she realizes that his or her
conduct creates imminent danger
to another person but consciously
and unjustifiably disregards the
danger.
Furthermore, the Supreme
Court argued, to convict the
defendant of reckless aggravated
battery, the State had to prove that
she caused bodily harm to the
victims by driving recklessly. The
State did not, so its appeal failed.
Ashley Newman, a junior at the
University, thinks the aggravated
battery provision makes sense.
It should be aggravated battery
because youre the one drinking
and driving, Newman said, and
you know youre not fully there
when youre drunk.
On August 26, 2012, Colby
Liston, a freshman from Derby,
was hit by Julian M. Kuszmauls
vehicle on Tennessee Street. Liston
was climbing into the back of
another car when he was hit and
pinned between the two vehicles.
Kuszmaul had a blood alcohol
content of 0.25, more than three
times the legal limit of 0.08.
As a result of the accident, both
of Listons legs were amputated.
Kuszmaul was only convicted
of misdemeanor DUI, outraging
Listons family. Under the new law,
Kuszmaul would have been vul-
nerable to a felony aggravated bat-
tery charge as well.
This is one of the reasons why
Douglas County District Attorney
Charles Branson expressed his
support of the bill.
I am very pleased that this
bill appears to be ready for the
Governors signature, Branson
said. This legislation will help
close a gap in the prosecution
of DUI cases when someone is
injured as a result of a DUI acci-
dent.
Bailey Reed, a junior at the
University, agreed that a misde-
meanor DUI charge is not enough
in injury cases.
Id be furious if a friend of mine
was badly injured in an accident
and the drunk driver responsible
was punished only with a DUI,
Reed said.
A Senate Conference Committee
report was adopted on April 4, and
the bill will now head to Gov.
Brownbacks desk.

If you join only one whimsi-
cal secret society this year, reads
Wonder Fairs description of its cur-
rent exhibition, make it the Secret
Order of the Black Diamond.
Wonder Fair, located at 803 1/2
Massachusetts Street just above
the Casbah, is the open secret of
Lawrences art scene. Hidden above
its glass door and a narrow, wood-
en staircase, the art gallery and stu-
dio is one of a handful of upstairs
downtown businesses that thrive
as shops even without a window
display to attract foot traffic.
In that way, we are kind of
like a secret society already, said
Meredith Moore, the owner and
curator. So we took it a step fur-
ther with The Secret Order of the
Black Diamond and made it a
secret society, fully fledged -- secret
codes, secret handshakes, secret
passwords, the whole nine yards.
Moore, who obtained her mas-
ters degree in art history from the
University in 2009, considers the
Secret Order of the Black Diamond
a treasure-hunting adventure in
Lawrence as much as an art exhi-
bition, since all artwork is hosted
off-site. Of the
five boxes hid-
den throughout
the city, three
will not be under
constant super-
vision. Moore
trusts that trea-
sure hunters will
take just one of
the 75 four-by-
six-inch letter
prints in each
box.
The prints are free, after all.
Most art shows, everything is
very easy, especially if youre rich,
Moore said. You go in the gallery,
you passively look around, and, if
you can afford to, you buy some-
thing and take it home. Our show is
the opposite of all of these. You can
come to the gallery but you cant
passively view any of the art you
have to actively seek it out and
when you find it, its free to you.
The $10,000 donated by the
shows 253 Kickstarter backers
in just three
weeks allows the
Wonder Fair to
present the exhi-
bition/adventure
free of charge for
participants. In
thanks, Moore
has sent over 60
mysterious let-
ters with mys-
terious scents to
her donors.
From the beginning, we knew
that the point of this project was
partially giving back to the com-
munity and partially recognizing
that not everyone can afford to pay
into an art community but every-
one should be able to get some-
thing out of it, Moore said.
Since its foundation in April
2008, Wonder Fair displays and
sells artwork with a style that fuses
a nostalgic, hokey throwback to
the 1950s with clean, modern,
commercial design, marked by the
Futura font of a Wes Anderson
film. Wonder Fair, Moore said,
tries not to take itself too seriously;
she believes that artwork should
be comforting, not intimidating or
condescending.
Were more interested in the
wider social class market, Moore
said. Everyone should be able to
afford art.
The Lost Print artists whose
screen prints are available in
the treasure troves include Kaye
Blegvad, an illustrator from New
York, Randy Regier, a sculptor
working in Wichita, Brady Vest,
the main artist at Hammerpress
Letterpress and Design in Kansas
City, Luke Ramsey, a screenprint
artist from Canada, and Gary
Baseman, a multi-media artist
from California.
Anyone interested in becoming
an official member of The Secret
Order of the Black Diamond can
report to Wonder Fair during regu-
lar hours to sign a letterpressed,
black-on-black membership card
with invisible ink and be taught the
secret handshake.
Everyone should like hunting
for free treasure, Moore said. No
one wont like this treasure unless
they really hate fun.
For more information about the
next secret event which may or
may not take place on Wednesday,
April 17, visit wonderfair.com/
blackdiamond. The treasure boxes
will never be collected by Wonder
Fair so participants are welcome to
hunt in weeks to come.
No one should get arrested
looking for our treasure -- we
hope, Moore joked, unwilling to
disclose any of the treasure boxes
locations.

Chancellor Gray-Little was inaugu-
rated three years ago tomorrow as KUs
seventeenth chancellor. Our youngest
chancellor was Franklin Murphy (age
35) and our longest-tenured chancel-
lor was Ernest Lindley (1920-1939).

pOLiCE rEpOrTS
Last April, an EF3 tornado
ripped through the Wichita area
and caused $283 million in dam-
ages.
Although conditions this sea-
son are not as favorable to pro-
duce tornadoes, it does not nec-
essarily mean that we will see a
shortage.
We are currently under EN-
SO-neutral conditions, and pro-
jections indicate that the neutral
conditions will persist through
the summer. Other factors come
into play as well, but presently
there are no other strong indica-
tions of an above or below aver-
age spring for tornadoes, said
David Rahn, a professor in the
University atmospheric science
department.
Rahn said the 2011 tornado
season had an unusually high
number of tornadoes that coin-
cided with La Nia conditions,
which refers to particularly cool
temperatures.
An average tornado season
still means a
lot of torna-
does for Kan-
sas, Rahn said.
For the period
1991 to 2010,
there was an
average of 96
tornadoes per
year that oc-
curred in Kan-
sas, according
to the National
Climatic Data
Center.
Rachel Pantle, a senior from
Salina, said hearing the sirens are
a part of any Kansans spring, but
once she hears them, she doesnt
stick around to watch.
I always wonder if a tornado
has actually touched down or if
theres only a funnel cloud, but
I certainly dont wait to fnd out
before heading to shelter, Pantle
said. I also make sure to grab
my phone or something else I
can get weather updates from.
In May 2003, a tornado hit
s o u t h w e s t
Lawrence and
caused signif-
cant damage
to Aberdeen
Apar t me nt s ,
tearing the roof
of two build-
ings and de-
stroying most of
the top foors.
Pantle lives
on the top foor
of an apart-
ment complex
and has a plan should a tornado
touch down.
Ill head to a basement frst,
Pantle said, and if there isnt one,
an interior room with minimal
windows like a bathroom where
there is also plenty of plumbing
to help keep me attached to the
ground.

Thirty-eight University faculty
members will lose their jobs if
Kansas House legislatures approve
a four percent budget cut to
higher education currently under
consideration, said Chancellor
Bernadette Gray-Little in an open
letter released Monday. Gray-
Little said the $20.3 million cut
to the University, which ignores
Gov. Sam Brownbacks recom-
mendation of flat funding for
higher education next year, would
result in cutbacks to academic
programs.
This would hurt students,
as well as the broader economy,
which cant grow without our
graduates, Gray-Little said. We
could not replace faculty who
have departed for other universi-
ties.
University of Kansas Medical
Center, Gray-Little said, would
see more than a 10 percent reduc-
tion in funding $11.4 million
despite a growing shortage of
medical professionals in the state.
Cuts to higher education fund-
ing make up 40 percent of all
proposed House budget cuts, said
Mary Jane Stankiewicz, Director
of Government Relations &
Communications for the Kansas
Board of Regents in a release.
Increased budget constraints
would result in the University
offering fewer classes and not con-
ducting its annual search for new
faculty, said Timothy Caboni, Vice
Chancellor for Public Affairs.
That will have a direct effect
on students, Caboni said. The
great faculty that we have now
and want to retain, the likeli-
hood of us being able to do that is
decreased.
State funding per student has
decreased from $15,030 in 1999 to
$9,559 in 2013 and overall annual
state funding for the University
has decreased by $124.4 million
dollars during the past 14 years,
according to the Office of Public
Affairs at the University.
As students tuition already
pays for more than half of the
cost of their education, further
cuts would affect the core func-
tions, teaching and research, of
the University, Caboni said.
That sends a message nation-
ally about the importance of
higher education in the state of
Kansas, Caboni said. You could
not make all of that of that up
with tuition.
While the cutbacks are not
necessarily inevitable, said Gray-
Little, any University level budget
reductions would be in accor-
dance with the Universitys strate-
gic initiative, Bold Aspirations.
Despite the proposed cuts,
Caboni said the House and Senate
Conference Committee agreed
last week to reexamine the across
the board cuts to higher educa-
tion.
I remain optimistic that the
Senate, House and the confer-
ence committee will come to a
reasonable solution, Caboni said.
Hopefully the solution to which
they come will be the one pro-
posed by the governor in his bud-
get.

M
otorcycles are among
the most energy- and
time-efficient means
of transportation on a college
campus. Of course, walking or
pedaling your traditional bike
wont emit carbon dioxide into
the air, but they also wont get
you to your 7:30 a.m. final on
time when you sleep in until
7:25. Motorcycles are a great
option for college students oper-
ating on a tight budget, and they
might be the most exhilarating
ride of your life. Your biggest
challenge will be convincing your
mother. Allow me to help you
with that.
The first thing youll need
before you start to seriously
consider a motorcycle is a license
to ride it. Itll cost about $30 to
take the skills test and get a Class
M designation on your drivers
license.
Similarly to a 16-year-old tak-
ing a driving test, however, the
DMV wont actually teach you
how to ride the bike, so thats up
to you to figure out. You have
a couple of options here. Either
go to the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation (www.msf-usa.org)
to take a $120 class, or teach
yourself. Bennett Golubski, a
junior from Lenexa who rides a
2004 Kawasaki Ninja 500, said
riding is a pretty easy skill to
learn, but can be difficult to mas-
ter. I had a buddy help me learn
the basics and taught myself the
rest with research and experi-
ence.
Next, youll need to pick out
your set of wheels. Browsing the
online listings is a great way to
get started, and there are plenty
of great deals out there to be had.
If youre looking for a sport bike,
its typically not too difficult to
find a lightly-used late model
bike for less than $3,000. If youre
in the market for a big cruiser,
you might need to increase your
budget a few thousand dollars.
If the need for speed isnt top
priority here, motor scooters and
mopeds are a solid option for
short jaunts around campus.
Motor scooters require a
motorcycle license, but mopeds
which are defined as vehicles
that cant exceed 30 miles per
hour dont require any special
licensure.
Before you find that perfect
bike, youll want to consider what
it costs to own it. As long as your
driving record isnt filled with
violations, your insurance wont
be a huge deal, probably not
more than $15 per month.
Parking your moped or motor-
cycle on campus is far easier
than parking a car, with plenty
of spots and a permit that rea-
sonably costs about $50 for the
academic year.
Youll need some accessories
when you get your bike, primar-
ily a helmet and jacket. The
cost of these essentials can vary
anywhere from about $200 for
entry-level equipment to well
over $1,000 for a full set of pro-
fessional protective gear. Most of
us arent racing our bikes on the
weekends, so the entry-level gear
will probably suit you just fine
until you decide its time to go to
the next level.
Maintenance on a motorcycle
is not nearly as difficult as main-
tenance on a car. Ali Zaidi, a
junior from Lawrence who rides
a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250, said
Mechanically speaking, motor-
cycles are very easy to fix your-
self. They dont have the complex
electronics of a car, and many
modern bikes are carbureted,
which makes adjustments and
maintenance fairly simple to do
yourself.
Filling your bikes gas tank is
where the big savings come over
a car. Even riding it hard and
accelerating quickly, most bikes
with 250-500 cubic centimeter
engines wont get any worse than
30 miles per gallon. Driving it
lightly, you can get north of 80
miles per gallon, or 150 if youre
on a smaller moped or scooter.
Even riding the bike daily, most
riders dont stop at the gas station
more than once per month, and
dont spend more than $10-$15
for a full tank.
Now that your head is satis-
fied with the purchase of a
motorcycle, satisfy your heart
by imagining a ride through the
beautiful University campus on
a sunny spring day, or accelerat-
ing around a tight bend on some
back road outside of town. Sure,
youll probably just be riding it to
class every day, but just imagine
how much more enjoyable your
daily commute is on the saddle
of this incredible machine. If
youve never ridden a motor-
cycle, the ride is unlike anything
youve experienced before. But
its something of which you can
enjoy both the practicality and
the exhilaration.

@udK_Opinion rain > snow. The
lesser of two evils really.
@rachel_ElF
@udK_Opinion rain is fne. Cold rain
is not.
I
m afraid to write the next
sentence because so many
people will think its typical
of me, and they will realize that
calling me Grumpy Cat Dylan
is now completely justified. But
I love rain more than anything. I
recently wrote that snow was the
worst thing to ever exist (which
is indisputable fact), and it only
makes sense that I fully report
my weather preferences and let
you know that rain is much bet-
ter.
Maybe I am grumpy cat.
Maybe its just my personality to
love something so gloomy. Maybe
its because I listened to emo
music in high school, and loving
rain and darkness is just the next
step to my progression to full on
depression.
No, thats not true. Im not on
my way to full-on depression. I
dare you to find someone who
laughs as much as me and jokes
around as much as me. I mean,
yeah, I love all those gloomy
things. But I dont love rain
because Im a gloomy, grumpy,
horrible person. I love rain
because its more like real life
than any other weather.
We all want life to be like a
sunny summer day that has birds
chirping, dogs playing in the
yard and people grilling burg-
ers as if there arent any real
issues to worry about. I want
this, too. But if I had that every
single day of my life, it would get
pretty annoying and depressing.
Everything cant be perfect for-
ever. It loses meaning.
Even comedian and former
MadTV star Will Sasso agrees.
In a recent Vine video posted to
Sassos Twitter account, he said,
I like it when it rains in LA,
because its a nice change of pace
from our usual weather.
Sasso did post this Vine in jest,
tagging it with the #SincereVine
hashtag and meaning it as a
change of pace from his normally
hilarious Vine videos that are all
jokes and not sincere at all. Much
like Sassos Vine that changes
pace, the rain does the same
thing for me in Kansas.
But rain isnt just a change of
pace. Its also what signifies that
we are finally in spring, the most
beautiful season of all, especially
because summer in Kansas can
get pretty brutal. Rain means that
we are finally leaving snowy win-
ter days, and we arent yet close to
miserable 100-degree days in the
summer.
When those 100-degree days
do show up, rain disappears.
Every summer, Kansas seems
to go into Drought Mode and
deprives us of those changes of
pace. We sit around complaining
about how hot it is and how we
wish it was fall already.
But thats when rain makes its
biggest difference. Sometimes
Mother Nature throws us a cur-
veball in late July and pours water
from the heavens. Those awful
sticky summer days are now very
manageable (and sometimes glo-
riously refreshing) summer days
where the temperature drops
from higher than 100 to mid-70s.
Now thats a change of pace.
But rain doesnt just make life
better by affecting the weather.
It also affects many aesthetically
pleasing things. Take the Flint
Hills for example. Would you
rather have fields that are bright
yellow because the grass of the
most beautiful part of Kansas is
dead, or would you rather have it
be bright green, signifying there
is some real life in this seemingly
vacant area of the country?
You can even say that rain
makes your day better by wash-
ing away all those student senate
chalkings around campus you all
love to complain about (this has
been mentioned by several stu-
dents this week).
Rain doesnt have to be gloomy
or sad. It doesnt have to signify
depression. It doesnt have to be
the cause of your lack of energy.
Instead of being those awful
things, rain can be happiness that
gives this earth some real life. So,
whos the grumpy cat now: Me,
or all you losers that complain
about a few drops of water that
fell from the sky?

s the weather warms and
the sun begins to rear
its wondrous head from
behind the eternal gloom that
has been winter, we are blessed
with days so beautiful that Van
Gough would weep like a school-

Im sure we can all agree that
this past winter was by far one of
the most annoying and tumultu-
ous winters of our lives, or so
it seemed. Alas, we are here,
spring! But as we know, Kansas
always has another trick up her
sleeve that temptress. So heres
some advice on what to do about
this Kansas spring weather.

This comes in handy in more
than the occasion of rain. Fellas,
perhaps youre courting a young
woman in the Underground and
once you step outside its too
bright to hold her gaze. Simply
whip out your umbrella and
shield her beauty from the sun!
This will not only make you look
like a gentleman, but also a wiz-
ard. Okay, maybe not a wizard
but who else carries around an
umbrella?

times Ive been caught with my
pants down so to speak
when the weather takes a drastic
change for the worse leaving me
freezing in the middle of down-
town with blocks to walk before
I get back to the warmth of my
home. I know youll consider it
cumbersome to haul a hoodie
around all night. But trust me,
once youre making your way
back from the bars at closing
time, and that sweet little honey
gets cold and looks at you for
comfort, you can throw your
jacket on and tell her she should
have planned ahead!

Even if you leave the house
in the dreariest, most disgust-
ing spring weather imaginable,
you bet your boots you need a
pair of sunglasses and a bottle
of sunblock. After you get out of
class and the clouds have rolled
away, youll be left looking like
a schmuck standing in the heat
like a dingus. No one wants that,
do we? Remember: its not creepy
to have your roommate lather up
your back with sunblock if you
return the favor!
Other than that, I feel like you
can figure the rest out as you go.
Spring is a great transitory peri-
od of our lives, and its important
to remember not to take any-
thing too seriously during this
season. That includes school.

A
aron sat in his living room with a couple of
close friends staring at a lighter and glass pipe.
He was still in high school at the time, but that
didnt mean he was nave. Having already smoked pot,
he wanted to try something new. So when one of his
friends started loading a bowl with K2, everyone else
was down to smoke it.
Aaron, who is now a fourth-year medical student at
the University of Kansas Medical Center, said that K2
felt diferent from weed the frst dozen or so times he
smoked it. We were very giggly. It was a strong body
and head high, he said.
As a fan of the K2 high, Aaron and his buddies de-
cided to start making their own. Tey bought the main
ingredient the powder form of a molecule named
JWH-018 online and gathered ammonia, tea leaves
and a spray bottle from local stores. Te process was
quite simple. All they did was mix ammonia and the
powder in the spray bottle, spritz it onto the tea leaves,
and let the ammonia evaporate. Te remaining product
looked like dried up green herbs.
It was cheaper, stronger and more badass to make
our own, Aaron said.
Te thrill of the high didnt last long. Afer smoking
K2 about three dozen times, Aaron decided to stop. Te
drug was wreaking havoc on his body. Smoking K2 was
giving him panic attacks, heart palpitations, elevated
blood pressure and worst of all: the feeling of impend-
ing doom.
K2, in my medical opinion, is dangerous, Aaron
said.
He now feels strongly that no one, let alone those
who do not understand what K2 is and what it does to
the body, should smoke K2. Aaron is not alone in his
opinion. Doctors, researchers and even the government
agree. Although K2 was supposed to be a legal substitute
for marijuana, it has proven to be even more dangerous
that the naturally found drug.
a BrieF hisTory oF Fake weed
K2 is the generic name for synthetic marijuana. Ac-
cording to a Center for Disease Control report, it was
frst used recreationally in Europe, where it was known
as Spice. But surprisingly, the synthetic marijuana
compounds were not initially made for recreational use;
they were made for medical research.
About six or seven years ago, scientists were inter-
ested in how marijuana compounds afected the brain,
said Vimal Chadha, a pediatric kidney specialist at Chil-
drens Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. Instead of going
through all of the government regulations to work with
an illegal drug, the scientists decided to make their own
synthetic marijuana compounds, known as synthetic
cannabinoids.
Scientists were also researching the compounds as
a possible treatment method for cancer patients, said
Uttam Garg, director of toxicology at Childrens Mercy
Hospital. Because cannabinoids are the components of
marijuana that control nausea and stimulate appetite,
they could be especially helpful for patients undergoing
chemotherapy.
However, synthetic marijuana did not remain solely
in the laboratory for long. Te CDC reported that K2
soon became popular as a recreational drug. Te still-
legal compound was cheap, easily accessed, undetect-
able by drug tests and caused a more intense high than
natural marijuana.
Lawrence bartender Eva Nelson said she initially
wanted to try K2 because it was legal. A couple of years
ago she heard about legal pot on the news, so when
her friend bought a baggie of K2 from a store on Mas-
sachusetts Street, she was curious enough to give it a go.
In fact, it was so legal at the time that they rolled it up
and smoked it in the middle of a crowd on the patio of
the Replay Lounge.
But in 2011, synthetic cannabinoid compounds be-
came Schedule I drugs, which meant they were illegal
for both recreational and medical use. Suddenly, the
federal government entered the scene with highly pub-
licized federal raids and investigations of shops selling
K2, including Herbs (formally known as Sacred Jour-
ney) in Lawrence.
noT all Fun and gaMes
So why did K2 go from being a legal high to a Sched-
ule I drug? It has everything to do with how synthetic
marijuana attacks the body.
In a 2011 Clinical Toxicology paper, researchers de-
scribed why K2 is much harsher on the body than nat-
ural marijuana. According to the paper, both marijua-
na and K2 compounds attach to the same receptors in

LOS ANGELES A week afer

the death of Buckwild reality-TV
star Shain Gandee, MTV has de-
cided to cancel the series.
Production on the shows second
season was suspended afer news
broke last week that the 21-year-
old had been found dead in his
truck, along with his uncle and a
friend, afer going mudding (of-
roading), near Sissonville, W.Va.
Te network ultimately decided
not to move forward with the se-
ries, and episodes that had already
been shot will not be aired.
Te network issued the follow-
ing statement:
Afer careful consideration,
MTV will not be moving forward
with season two of Buckwild in
West Virginia. We love the cast and
the show, and this was not an easy
decision, but given Shains tragic
passing and essential presence on
the show, we felt it was not appro-
priate to continue without him.
Instead, we are working on a mean-
ingful way to pay tribute to his
memory on our air and privately.
MTV plans to run a special,
Buckwild: WV to the NYC, on
Sunday. It was shot before produc-
tion had begun on the sophomore
season, and will follow a marathon
showing of the frst seasons epi-
sodes.

ust when you thought it was
safe to plan a weekend excur-
sion to a benevolent billion-
aires newly completed theme
park, life found a way to bring
Jurassic Park back to the big
screen. Nearly 20 years afer
dominating 1993s box ofce and
demonstrating the shared mir-
acle of CGI and Stan Winstons
groundbreaking animatronics,
Im happy to report that Steven
Spielbergs dinosaur opus has aged
masterfully. In fact, it now bears
the unmistakable whif of a time-
tested classic.
Watching Jurassic Park at the
age of four was a formative experi-
ence for me. I was crazy about di-
nosaurs at the time, and my older
cousins had been raving about the
movie for more than a year before
I fnally convinced my parents to
let me see it. I remember the whir
of the VCR and the joy and dread
that flled my heart when John
Williamss ominous score kicked
in. I remember a man in safari gear
shouting orders while a member of
his loading team was dragged of
and presumably eviscerated by an
unseen monster. I remember the
look of child-like wonder on the
faces of two paleontologists (Sam
Neill and Laura Dern) as park
owner John Hammond (Richard
Attenborough) invited them to
marvel at the impossible sight of
a living, breathing brachiosaurus.
I also remember hearing the con-
cern in my dads voice as he whis-
pered in my ear, Its only pretend,
buddy. But it wasnt, not really.
Tis was magic.
By the time the T. rex showed
up to devour the hapless, toilet-
bound Gennaro (Martin Ferrero),
I was head-over-heels in love,
not only with Jurassic Park but
with cinema itself. One viewing
was all it took to turn me into a
lifelong movie geek (although
Derns khaki shorts didnt exactly
hurt). True, Id been weaned on
Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruces
Sherlock Holmes series and the
full catalog of Universal Monster
flms, but Jurassic Park was what
truly sealed my fate. I continued
to watch it religiously for the bal-
ance of my childhood, or at least
until I discovered the Star Wars
trilogy.
Despite my Giganotosaurus-
sized love for the flm, or more
than likely because of it, I was
initially skeptical when it was
frst announced that Jurassic
Park would be receiving a 3-D
re-release in honor of its 20th an-
niversary. On one hand, Id never
gotten the opportunity to see the
original flm in theaters, and I
knew I would relish the chance to
see it with a crowd, preferably at a
fan convention dedicated to stam-
mering chaos theoretician Ian
Malcolm (Jef Goldblum). On the
other hand, post-converted 3-D
has a well-founded reputation for
either ruining the movie its ap-
plied to or failing to register at all.
As it turns out, my fears were
largely unfounded. In fact, Juras-
sic Park boasts the most spectac-
ular use of post-conversion 3-D
Ive ever seen, narrowly edging
out last years re-release of James
Camerons Titanic. It turns out
the Jurassic Park conversion was
done with Spielbergs blessing, and
the craf and dexterity with which
the flm has been restored is truly
a marvel to behold. Te images,
never blurry or darkened, are as
crisp and defned as they appear
on my Blu-ray. Te two scenes
that beneft most from the added
dimension are defnitely the ini-
tial encounter with the T. rex and
the still-harrowing kitchen scene
between John Hammonds preco-
cious grandkids and two hungry
velociraptors.
Te flms technical brilliance
continues to impress, but what
really struck me about Jurassic
Park this time is its pitch-perfect
casting. Although he was initially
hired as a glorifed stand-in for
Harrison Ford, Sam Neill does an
admirable job nailing Dr. Grants
progression from crusty bone-
duster to selfess father fgure.
Goldblums character remains a
charming synthesis of sleaze and
sincerity, and his warning about
the dangers of fippantly tinkering
with genetics carries even more
weight than it did in 1993.
Te scene that sticks with me
the most, however, has noth-
ing to do with dinosaurs or the
pros and cons of 3-D conver-
sion, but it has everything to do
with where Spielberg was in his
career in 1993, when Jurassic
Park and Schindlers List pre-
miered within a few short months
of each other. Its a simple din-
ner scene between Hammond
and Derns character Ellie Sattler.
Hammond could almost be chan-
neling Spielberg himself when he
speaks of his obsession with ben-
efting others beyond the realm of
mere entertainment: I wanted to
give them something that wasnt
an illusion. Something that was
real. Something they could see
and touch, an aim not devoid of
merit. Rest assured, sir. When
it came to the merits of Jurassic
Park, you spared no expense.

Spring is in the air, which means
wedding season is at its prime. If
youre like me, then the biggest
concern you have upon receiving
a wedding invitation is what youre
going to wear. Forget about the
bride and groom, I need to go
shopping. That very concern of
mine has tripled Ive got three
weddings to attend in a month
and a half and zero idea of what
to wear.
The main rule of dressing for
weddings is to take the dress code
to heart. You do not want to be the
only one in a gown when everyone
else is in sundresses and sandals.
Take into consideration the venue
or location as well. If its a beach
or outdoor wedding, the vibe will
most likely be more casual, and you
should definitely follow the rules.
Also a good note to take while
choosing wedding guest attire is
how appropriate an outfit choice is.
The last thing you want is for the
grandparents and the token creepy
uncle staring at you instead of the
bride. Despite the open bars and
massive amounts of fun, weddings
are also sadly considered family
events.
Most importantly, dont wear
white. Or ivory, or eggshell, or
tan for that matter. Bridezillas are
real life creatures that still exist
in todays society and you do not
want to be responsible for creating
another one. Be sure to feel con-
fident and comfortable in what-
ever youre wearing, but remember,
this isnt your moment to shine.
Avoid anything flamboyant or
loud. Floral prints, lace and maxi
length skirts and dresses are almost
always safe options for weddings.
Allowing yourself plenty of time
to find the right attire will help
you avoid breaking any of these
cardinal rules, and will surely have
you find the perfect match. Your
perfect match of clothing, that is.
Remember when this famous
pair tied the knot in 2011? Probably
not, because all of the buzz was
about the brides sister, Pippa
Middleton. Dont be that girl this
wedding season, and instead let the
bride have her moment.

We ask, listen and solve.
the brain: the cannabinoid receptors. Tey both turn
these receptors on, but while the natural marijuana
only partially activates them, K2 completely activates
all of the cannabinoid receptors. Once turned on, the
receptors activate the sympathetic nervous system,
which is responsible for the bodys fght-or-fight re-
sponse. Tis is why K2 elevates heart rate, blood pres-
sure and anxiety. Users have attributed the anxiety as
an especially troubling side efect.
Te efects on mentation are powerful, former
K2 user Aaron said. It can easily lead to psychotic
episodes.
Although no psychotic episodes were reported,
many K2 users described common similarities in
their mental states while using the drug, such as a
feeling of numbness. Users said that while their bod-
ies felt motionless, their brains felt as if they were
working overtime, focusing intensely on little details.
One user said he sunk into a sofa and remained there
for two hours. Another said she sat down on a public
bench and just stared ahead.
Heavy is a good word to describe it, said Jacob,
a senior from Worcester, Mass. Light-headed, but
glued to my seat.
Anxiety and paranoia were also commonly men-
tioned as side efects of the drug. One user said he
was convinced a dog could feel his negative energy.
He had frst smoked K2 in a room full of people. It
hit him all at once, and suddenly he felt as if he were
being lifed up into the air. Ten the anxiety hit. It
was so bad that he had to excuse himself from his
friends and go sit alone in another room. While he
was trying to calm down, his friends dog wandered
up to him. Te dog started barking nonstop, and he
just knew that the dog knew he was high and could
feel the anxiety and paranoia inside him. He never
tried K2 again.
Although this instance of anxiety may seem laugh-
able, not everyone has such a harmless experience.
Te Clinical Toxicology paper reports one intense
anxiety attack that led a K2 user to commit suicide.
Such cases have contributed heavily to the recent out-
lawing of the drug.
New coNcerNs about K2 side effects
Beyond the brain, synthetic marijuana can attack
multiple organs. Te CDC said the body is more like-
ly to experience heart attack, seizure and even acute
kidney injury when high on K2.
Te association between synthetic marijuana and
kidney injury is a fairly new development the of-
cial CDC report was just released in February and
one that doctors like Chadha are really concerned
about. Acute kidney injury associated with K2 use
has already been reported in 16 cases spanning six
diferent states.
Marijuana doesnt afect the kidneys, Chadha
said. But synthetic marijuana is a diferent beast.
K2 abuse is always suspected when Chadha
consults on a case involving a previously healthy
adolescent. He blames the possible contaminants in
synthetic marijuana. It is not a pure, controlled or
FDA-approved substance, so the likelihood of con-
tamination with unknown products is high. Tese
contaminants can cause a short-term event where
kidney function is deactivated and waste levels rise
in the blood. During this time, the bodys electrolytes
(sodium, potassium, etc.) are disturbed, which can
cause all sorts of problems, including muscle spasms,
convulsions and weakness. Kidney function is likely
to resume within hours or days, but in severe cases,
dialysis may be required.
Last year there were been between 500 to 1,000
national cases of acute kidney injury caused by sus-
pected synthetic cannabinoid use, Chadha said. Lo-
cally, the Med Center confrmed such a case, Garg
reported. Te patient is likely the single confrmed
case from Kansas in the CDC report published last
month. Te CDC wrote that this patient was under
the infuence of a K2 product named Mr. Happy,
which should now be avoided at all costs.
Still think K2 is just a regular ol party drug? Ten
consider the following: Of the six people interviewed
who have tried the drug, none still smoke it. Whether
it took one try or 30, every one of them had a bad
experience and stopped smoking K2.
As former K2 user Jacob put it: Tat. Shit. Cray.

fer weeks of persistent begging and dropping
not-so-subtle hints, changing the family
computers screen saver to a picture of the tiny,
furry four-legged friend next to a Campbells soup can is
just one example my dad fnally gave in.
My sister, Kiley, and I religiously hounded my dad
about the pint-sized pup that she fell in love with on-
line. She wouldnt take no for an answer. My poor fa-
ther, the only male in the family, didnt stand a chance.
He attempted to delay the inevitable as long as possible,
which only lasted about a week.
Slowly but surely, Kileys puppy-dog eyes and my sil-
ver-tongued persuasion got to my dad. She fnally broke
down my dads gruf, rough-around-the-edges attitude
and found the loving, caring father within him.
At this rate, the dogs will outnumber us, my dad
said in a sarcastic tone, admitting his defeat.

weeks away from becoming our newest family mem-
ber and joining our other two dogs. My sister and I
screamed and jumped in excitement as if it were Christ-
mas morning.
Of course, there had to be rules. Tis dog was to teach
my sister and me responsibility. Te dog wasnt a family
dog; it belonged to my sister and me. Step one of respon-
sibility: the two of us had to pick up the precious pup
because my dad wasnt going to sacrifce a Sunday af-
ternoon watching football to retrieve a purse-sized dog.
We were expected to take care of the new puppy, doing
everything from feeding her to house breaking her.
Every morning during my senior year of high school,
my sister and I ate breakfast downstairs on the break-
fast bar overlooking the front yard. One morning, only
a week afer having her, while looking outside trying
to predict the weather, we saw a fur ball bolt across the
front yard.
It was Coco. Te clever, skinny canine had squeezed
herself through the wrought iron fence to escape the
backyard to take a feld trip. A diferent neighbor
brought the social butterfy home every time. Te en-
tire family, even my dad, would hit the sidewalks of the
neighborhood yelling Coco as we searched for her. Tis
was the frst sign he was warming up to her.
As reluctant as my dad was about adopting Coco,
he didnt want anything to happen to her. Early Satur-
day morning, not even two weeks into having her, my
dad lined our entire backyard fence with chicken wire
so Coco couldnt pull any more unplanned excursions
outside of her own backyard oasis.
Far from a manly dog, Coco still tried to win my
dad over. She would catapult herself onto the couch and
shower my dad with sloppy puppy kisses. My dad would
always pick her up with one hand and put her back on
the ground.
A month afer living with us, Coco fnally started
to master the stairs. She always raced up and down the
stairs with the other dogs. Despite having tiny legs, she
was agile enough jump onto almost everything. And
with her tiny frame, she could hide in any nook and
cranny.
But one night, when playing with the other two dogs,
she got too brave. My dad called all the dogs to go out-
side once more before bed, but Coco didnt come. Ev-
eryone was already asleep, so my dad went alone on a
search-and-rescue mission for Coco. He searched the
entire downstairs. Nothing. He then checked to make
sure Coco wasnt in my sisters room. Again, nothing.
He fnally started sofly yelling her name, Coco.
She then responded with a chirp. She was too dainty
to bark. Listening closely to hear where the bark was
coming from, my dad found Coco. She was stranded on
the top stair of the spiral staircase. Her little legs werent
able to get her down. He picked her up and carried her
all the way downstairs. Her heart was racing so fast from
being scared her entire body was pulsing. Instead of
throwing her in the backyard, Coco got to play in the
front yard alone with my dad.
From then on, every time my parents went upstairs to
watch a movie my dad would carry Coco up and down
the stairs. At frst he acted as if he escorted her so she
didnt get stuck on the stairs or trampled by the other
dogs. But then he started picking up his little princess
more and more. My sister and I began to tease him by
repeating phrases he told us when we frst brought Coco
home.
If you always carry her she wont know how to walk,
we mocked in our best impression of his deep voice.
Soon enough, Coco started to reap the benefts of be-
ing top dog. My dad started taking his now six-pound
princess with him to check the mail. He went as far
to give her a nickname, Cokey. Once she realized she
was getting preferential treatment from the man of the
house, she poured on the charm. She perfectly obeyed
his every word, and walked right beside him. She sat as if
she were competing in a dog show and resisted the urge
to beg for food during dinner.
Coco quickly became a mans best friend. She re-
ceived treats under the table from my dad and her trips
to the mailbox became a daily routine. She would lie
next to him on the couch as he read the newspaper on
Sundays.
Now that my sister and I are both at college, Coco
gets all the attention. He sends pictures of his favorite
family member playing in the yard with her new toys
and riding shotgun in the car during errands.
My and my sisters love for Coco reminded our dad
of us. Coco has become my dads pseudo-replacement
for his daughters of at college. He would never admit
it, but he loves that dog. And from time to time, you can
catch him picking her up and talking to her, whispering
I love you Cokey.

C
ollege basketball players are
neither heroes nor villains.
The media, teammates
and practically everybody in
America have exalted Louisvilles
Kevin Ware as a hero.
Meanwhile, Kansas fans (along-
side much of the nation) have
labeled Elijah Johnson as a villain
after a silly intentional foul and the
act of passing up a potential game-
winning layup.
Ware is a good basketball player
and a seemingly genuine kid. He
exhibited a lot of toughness as
evidenced by his words to his team-
mates as he was being escorted off
the court on a stretcher while his
tibia was protruding through his
skin like something youd see on the
menu at a barbecue joint.
What Ware is not, however, is a
hero.
Johnson may not have played
his best game when the lights were
brightest. In fact, it might have been
his worst. If Johnsons season were
the Star Wars series, the Michigan
game was Episode I: The Phantom
Menace. His act of reaching second
base, metaphorically speaking, with
Michigan freshman Mitch McGary
was a play unbecoming of a senior
leader. Who knows if he would
have made that layup or maybe got-
ten fouled, but it was unquestion-
ably a better shot than the running
3-pointer Naadir Tharpe was forced
to take.
What Johnson is not, however, is
a villain.
Johnson is a college student.
Ware is too. That didnt stop their
stories from taking different direc-
tions.
How many of the readers of this
column have ever made a mistake?
If this were a classroom, Id expect
all hands to be raised to the sky.
How many of those same people
have had that same mistake broad-
casted to the world and scrutinized
by strangers?
Using that same analysis, who has
ever overcome an injury? Have you
ever been considered inspirational
because of it?
The media and basketball fans are
so quick to label players as heroes
and villains, the public tends to for-
get what heroes and villains really
are.
Heroes are those fighting for our
freedom overseas. They are the par-
ents who put their own ambitions
aside for the welfare of their chil-
dren. They are the people who show
up weekly at a soup kitchen and
serve the poor. Ware may someday
be a hero, but it wont be for his
actions on the basketball court. And
it wont be because he was able to
show up in Atlanta on crutches and
support his friends and teammates.
Likewise, Johnson may someday
be a villain. I sincerely doubt it. But
if he ever is, it wont be because he
committed a ten-second violation or
deferred to a teammate.
College basketball should place
an emphasis on the college part
of that phrase. These players are in
college. They work hard for grades
and suffer through bad relation-
ships; they succeed and they fail.
Instead of immediately seeking to
label them and sort them as if they
are tax returns, we should humanize
them.
If we took this approach, wed see
Kevin Ware and Elijah Johnson for
what they are. Basketball players.
College students. People.

As the Kansas Jayhawks con-
tinue their ofseason workouts and
prepare for the Spring Game this
Saturday, the players are working
on fguring out their roles for next
season. For junior running back
Tony Pierson, he already knows
what his role will be on ofense
under Kansas coach Charlie Weis.
Oddly enough, Pierson doesnt ex-
pect to run the ball as much.
Last year, 85 percent of Piersons
138 touches on ofense came on
the ground. Pierson said that hes
spent 80 percent of his time catch-
ing passes so far in ofseason rep-
etitions. Weis sees him as the most
versatile player on the team.
Tony is still clearly the most
dynamic running back we have,
Weis said. He might be the most
dynamic receiver we have as well.
He is a defnite pain in the butt
for the defense, because he can
play detached from the backfeld.
Tony has shown that he can run le-
gitimate routes, catch the ball, and
most importantly, he can get open.
Tat gives you a chance.
Te Jayhawks went through the
entire 2012 season without throw-
ing a touchdown to a wide receiver.
Pierson was co-leader in receiving
touchdowns for the team, with two
last season.
Pierson said he has not spoken
to Weis much about what hell do
next year, but he has had conversa-
tions with student manager Charlie
Weis Jr. about expanding his role.
Weis and the Kansas ofensive
coaching staf want Pierson to have
a role similar to former West Vir-
ginia wide receiver Tavon Austin.
Austin accounted for over 1,200
yards receiving and 600 yards rush-
ing along with some duties as a re-
turn specialist.
Kansas was a one-dimensional
football team last year, excelling
only in the rushing department.
Having Pierson adapt to this role
can give Kansas fans a lot to look
forward to with the ofense in Sep-
tember.
We obviously have big plans
for Tony, Weis said. We didnt do
all of that research on Tavon Aus-
tin for nothing. Tis is a copycat
business; all of those guys that try
to act like all their ideas are origi-
nal, they are all liars. When you get
someone who is doing something
really good and you think you have
someone that fts that build, then
you go and study them.
Senior running back James Sims
led all Big 12 rushers in yards per
game, while Pierson was seventh in
that category. Sims will predomi-
nantly lead Kansas running game,
but the new responsibility for Pier-
son allows the Jayhawks to keep
him active in the ofense.
With West Virginia being Big
12 newcomers last year, Pierson
paid more attention to Austin and
learned a lot from him. He knows
his versatility will be an important
asset to the team and he welcomes
the challenge.
Weve got the same skill set as
each other, Pierson said. I used to
watch Tavon Austin last year. Hes a
nice player. I liked his role at West
Virginia.

frank Duncan, a junior pitcher from San francisco, Calif., catches opponent attempting to steal second base during game one of a double header on friday. KU defeated niagara with a walk-off win in the bot-
tom of the ninth ending in a 3-2 victory.
After playing Iowa on the road,
the Kansas Jayhawks return home
to host Missouri Valley College
on Thursday, and Texas on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday.
The Jayhawks were scheduled
to play a second game against
the Hawkeyes on Wednesday, but
the game was canceled because of
rain. Despite having only a one-
game series against the Hawkeyes,
Kansas coach Ritch Price saw a lot
of good things from his team that
he wants to carry over.
It was a really good step for-
ward, and thats part of the growth
of this team as we have had some
success in the conference, Price
said.
Kansas won 8-3 in Tuesdays
game against the Hawkeyes.
Sophomore Michael Suiter went
two-of-four at the plate, stole
two bases, scored three runs and
recorded an RBI.
The Jayhawks are 19-12 on the
season and look to pick up their
20th win of the season before
working on getting better at their
5-4 Big 12 record this weekend.
Eric Peterson, director of base-
ball operations for Kansas, was
able to make up for Wednesdays
cancellation by scheduling a
one-game series at home against
Missouri Valley College. This
gives Price an opportunity to send
senior Tanner Poppe to start on
the mound as he continues to
bounce back after missing two
games last month.
We are trying to get Poppe on
the mound so he can pitch and get
his development going coming off
of that shoulder soreness, Price
said. Its really important to us
that he gets to start this week so
we could have him move to the
weekend and have him win league
games as well.
Price also wants to use this
game to give the young players
in the program a chance to earn
some playing time.
We just want an opportunity
to get on the field, get our work
in and have good quality at-bats,
Price said. It will get us ready for
Texas on the weekend.
Texas is currently 18-13 and
is 3-6 in Big 12 matches. The
Longhorns biggest weakness this
season has been playing on the
road, winning only three of 10
away games.
But Price looks beyond the road
performance and wants his team
to be ready for anything Texas
throws at Kansas. Price applauded
Texas for its pitching and wants to
be able to match that this weekend
at Hoglund Ballpark.
They have as good of arms as
any team in America, Price said.
If we are going to win the series,
we are going to have to get three
good quality starts. Last weekend
we only got two, and we won two
games to win the series, but in
order to win series, against oppo-
nents like that, you have got to get
good starting pitching. Our start-
ing pitching has to be as good as
theirs because that is the strength
of their team.
As good as Kansas has been this
year, Price has worked on improv-
ing fielding, which has been incon-
sistent for the Jayhawks. Price and
pitching coach Ryan Graves have
admitted that the pitchers must
do a better job of finishing batters
with two strikes and two outs.
The biggest key to this
weekends game is smart pitch-
ing, which will allow Kansas to
become one of the better teams in
the Big 12 by the time the week-
end is over.
I think any time you play
quality pitching, it comes down to
two-strike innings and preventing
two-out RBIs, Price said. That
will be the difference between
winning and losing.

Twitter Thursday answers Tweeters burning questions
I
f youre a Kansas City sports fan, you
may have heard of Kansas City Star
sports columnist Sam Mellingers
Twitter Tuesday; answering questions via
tweety-bird from Kansas City area follow-
ers. As a product of my lack of imagina-
tion, I present to you: Twitter Thursday.
Not as cool, I know, but thanks any-
ways, Sam.
The column starts with a read of the
week. So, give credit where credit is do,
go read Mellingers actual article since
hes the brilliant one who thought of this
anyways.
The weeks eating recommendation is
anything Cajun from Terrebonne, 805
Vermont St. And for you penny pinchers,
youre lame, but try the new spicy chicken
sandwich at McDonalds.
Now lets jump to the good stuff.
@jvdoull: is April the greatest sports
month of the year? Masters, draft, NCAA
championship and opening day:
Well, sure it is. But this years is even
more special because of the local sports.
Sure, the NCAA Championship fun was
stomped on by a 28-footer from Trey
Burke. But that doesnt happen very often.
And Kansas basketball is at an all-time
high right now. The Jayhawks will be
back. Our expectations are pretty darn
high.
Opening day at the K on Monday was
fantastic. Great starting pitching, clutch
hitting; it doesnt get better. The team has
a different feel this year without a doubt.
The starting pitching has a lot to do with
that.
The Masters is always special, and last
year was no exception (YouTube: Bubba
Watson Masters shot). But this year has
Tiger Woods as hot as hes been in a long
time. A four-time winner, Woods is the
favorite entering the weekend at Augusta
National, the pinnacle venue for golf
championships.
NFL draft, this ones easy. The Kansas
City Chiefs have the number one pick.
More importantly, the leadership has
already done enough to settle the minds
of the fans before the pick. New GM
John Dorsey can go with his strategy of
best player available, which led to big
success in Green Bay, because the Chiefs
really have no glaring needs.
@b_rockers Which would have helped
more Tyshawn on this years team? Or
Ben on last years team?
Back to this, unfortunately. Tyshawn
solves a lot of Elijah Johnsons late game
problems against Michigan. But, in my
opinion, it was one of the worst games
that Bill Self has ever coached.
Everything went wrong for Kansas in
the final minutes, and between Self and
Johnson, it proved to be too much.
Thomas Robinson said having Ben
on last years team would have made the
difference. After this year, it seems easier
to believe. But that Kentucky team was
stupid good. One of the best in recent
memory.
So, in short, Id pick Tyshawn on this
team. The Jayhawks had it, and Michigan
had a cakewalk to the title game. He helps
solve the Louisville press issue, too.
@canglem Which is worse, the wave,
the kiss cam or jumbotron proposals?
The wave is too out of date to merit
discussion. Jumbotron proposals are
really tacky, but, ironically, very represen-
tative of the type of people in the Chiefs
and Royals parking lots. Kiss cam takes
the cake here: a short, quick and very
public place for love and lust creating
awkward moments. Sounds a lot like the
@KUSecretAdmirers account.
Well thats all folks. Go participate in
student senate elections today, your vote
counts! Keep calm and Rock Chalk on.

diamondbacks save
series against Pirates
PHOENIX A.J. Pollock homered
twice, doubled and drove in four runs
as the Arizona Diamondbacks salvaged
the fnal game of their series against
Pittsburgh, routing the Pirates 10-2 on
Wednesday.
Pollock began the day in an 0-for-14
rut. He also made a diving catch in
center feld to rob Andrew McCutchen in
the frst inning.
Wade Miley (2-0) allowed two runs on
fve hits in 6 2-3 innings.
Jonathan Sanchez (0-2) was charged
with nine runs and eight hits in 3 1-3
innings. The last two of those runs
came after Sanchez left and reliever
Chris Leroux walked two batters, on four
pitches each, with the bases loaded in
the Diamondbacks four-run fourth.
Pollock, a long shot to make the
opening day roster before spring
training injuries to Adam Eaton and
Cody Ross, hit a three-run homer in the
second and a solo shot leading off the
fourth. He had two home runs in his 81
big league at-bats last season.
Pollock, moved up to the No. 2 spot
in the batting order by manager Kirk
Gibson, doubled down the left-feld
line with one out in the frst, then took
off trying to steal third. Sanchez threw
wildly to third and Pollock scored.
Miley retired 10 in a row after
Starling Marte opened the game with
a double. The string ended when
McCutchen walked with one out in the
fourth. Gaby Sanchez singled and Josh
Harrison had an RBI single.
Pollocks second homer made it 7-1.
Sanchez walked Goldschmidt and gave
up a one-out single to Montero Miguel,
and manager Clint Hurdle had seen
enough from his left-handed starter.
Leroux came on and promptly walked
three straight. Another run scored on
Mileys groundout and Arizona led 10-1
through four innings.

The Jayhawks softball team
is coming off the first road-series
sweep of a Big 12 opponent since
April 2007.
Last weekend also marked the
first time a Jayhawk pitcher pitched
a no-hitter since March 2007.
Freshman pitcher Kelsey Kessler
pitched a no-hitter in the series
finale against Texas Tech on Sunday.
Kessler was named Big 12 Pitcher of
the Week on Tuesday after her stellar
weekend. Kessler made two starts
and three appearances and went 2-0
with one save and 15 and two-third
innings of shutout softball.
The experience was incredible
as far as the honor itself (Pitcher
of the Week) hasnt happened in a
while so I think that its important
for our team as well being incredible
for me, Kessler said. The no-hitter
was a team thing too, there is a lot
of defense that goes into a no-hitter.
So other than that I just think it is
pretty cool.
Coach Megan Smith said that
Furman University is typically a
very well-balanced team dating back
from her time coaching at Western
Carolina. Smith said the Paladins are
pretty good at everything this sea-
son: good pitching, good hitting and
good defense. Smith said Furman is
one of the most beautiful campuses
in the country so thats exciting for
the girls to see a campus that theyve
never seen.
What we saw last weekend was
probably our best example of a com-
plete game effort in all three games,
Smith said. Weve had glimpses
here and there of certain aspects of
our game that have done well, but
before last weekend, none of them
had come together as consistently
as it did those three games. So we
just want them to take that same
approach this weekend and have
that same intensity level that we
had.
The Jayhawks are headed to
Greensville, S.C., to take on Furman
in a three-game series. The Paladins
are 19-17 and are coming off a series
against Western Carolina where the
Paladins only won one of the three
games. Furman is hitting .251 as a
team and allowing opponents to hit
.262. The Paladins have two batters
that play consistently hitting above
.300. Junior Nikki Legg was named
Southern Conference Softball Player
of the Week, it was announced on
Monday. Legg batted .636 with a .667
on-base percentage and had a .818
slugging percentage in five games
for the Paladins this past week.
Sophomore third baseman
Chanin Naudin hit a home run in
each of the three games last weekend.
Naudin said that it was a confidence
builder for her because she doesnt
think of herself as a player who
hits a lot of home runs. Kessler and
Naudin feel like the team can build
on the success that they had last
weekend and carry that throughout
the rest of the season. This weekend
also saw senior Maggie Hull extend
her hitting streak to 20 games.
That is impressive for Maggie,
Smith said. She continues to
impress us with things, and hope-
fully that doesnt end, and she has
more to impress us with for the rest
of the year.

OKLAHOMA CITY A feder-
al indictment unsealed Wednesday
accuses 34 people and 23 compa-
nies, many of them registered in
Central America, of operating an
illegal sports bookmaking business
that solicited more than $1 billion
in bets.
The 95-page indictment, hand-
ed up by a federal grand jury in
Oklahoma City on March 20,
accuses the defendants of operat-
ing from San Jose, Costa Rica, and
Panama City to take bets almost
exclusively from gamblers in the
U.S.
The indictment says that since
2003 the operation known as
Legendz Sports used the compa-
nies to operate as payment pro-
cessors, launder gambling funds
and make payouts to customers.
It alleges a conspiracy and accuses
the defendants of violating federal
racketeering and money launder-
ing statutes as well as operating an
illegal gambling business.
The indictment also accuses
the defendants of violating illegal
gambling statutes in several states,
including Oklahoma, California,
Colorado, Florida, Nebraska, New
York and Texas.
Legendz Sports solicited mil-
lions of illegal bets totaling over
$1 billion on sports and sporting
events from gamblers in the United
States, the indictment alleges. As
part of the conspiracy, Legendz
Sports operated Internet websites
and telephone gambling services
from facilities located in Panama,
the indictment says.
U.S. Attorney Sanford Coats of
Oklahoma City said the charges
culminated a multiyear investi-
gation by the FBI and Internal
Revenue Service.
The defendants cannot hide the
allegedly illegal sports gambling
operation behind corporate veils
or state and international boundar-
ies, Coats said.
The acting chief of the Justice
Departments criminal division,
Mythili Raman, said the govern-
ment is determined to crack down
on illegal online gambling by U.S.
citizens, regardless of where the
business operates or where the
defendants live.
These defendants allegedly par-
ticipated in an illegal sports gam-
bling business, lining their pockets
with profits from over a billion dol-
lars in illegal gambling proceeds,
Raman said.
Among the individual defen-
dants listed in the indictment is
Bartice Alan King, 42, of Spring,
Texas, whos accused of conspiring
with others to operate gambling
services that took wagers almost
exclusively from U.S. gamblers.
The enterprise allegedly used
bookies in the U.S. to illegally
solicit and accept sports wagers
as well as settle gambling debts.
The 34 individual defendants were
allegedly employees, members and
associates of the Legendz Sports
enterprise, the indictment says.
Bob Troester, a spokesman
for the U.S. Attorneys Office in
Oklahoma City, said King remained
at large Wednesday but that 22
other defendants including Kings
former wife, Serena Monique King,
had been taken into custody.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. Kansas
State rewarded basketball coach
Bruce Weber for winning a share of
the schools first conference cham-
pionship in 36 years with a raise
and a one-year contract extension
Wednesday.
Webers annual salary will
increase by $250,000 to $1.75 mil-
lion next season, and increase by
$100,000 each of the remaining
years on his original five-year deal.
That means Weber will make $2.15
million for the 2017-18 season, the
year that has been added to his
contract.
Whenever you have success, it is
a direct reflection of your team and
staff, and I have said all along we had
great chemistry between our players
and staff all year, Weber said. Im
so proud to be associated with this
group of players and coaches, and I
cant thank them enough.
Weber, who was hired to replace
Frank Martin, went 27-8 in his first
season in Manhattan. More impor-
tant, he went 14-4 in the Big 12 and
tied rival Kansas for a share of the
championship. The fourth-seeded
Wildcats were upset by No. 13 seed
La Salle in the NCAA tournament.
Our mens basketball program,
from top to bottom, has made
continued improvement under
Coach Weber and his staff since
their arrival last April, said Currie,
who moved quickly last March to
hire Weber once he was fired from
Illinois and Martin left for South
Carolina. I am extremely excited
about the forward trajectory of our
program under his leadership.
Weber, the APs Big 12 coach of
the year, inherited a program that
returned most of its key players
from an NCAA tournament team.
Hell return several key players next
season, too, though hell lose top
scorer Rodney McGruder and fel-
low seniors Jordan Henriquez and
Martavious Irving.

The track and field squad will
continue their outdoor season this
weekend at the John McDonnell
Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., on
the campus of the University of
Arkansas.
After two successful meets in
Arizona last weekend, the Jayhawks
are in the middle of the outdoor
season with the Kansas Relays just
a week away.
On Tuesday, the womens team
was named the No. 1 team in the
nation according to the U.S. Track
& Field and Cross Country Coaches
Association (USTFCCCA). They
have been in the top-five every
week in 2013, including the indoor
and outdoor seasons.
The Kansas Relays will have
multiple features next week, includ-
ing world class athletes and special
events that will take place in down-
town Lawrence on Wednesday and
Thursday of the Relays.
The men are improving at the
right time. They will be led this
weekend by junior Josh Munsch,
who ran his fastest 1,500 meters of
his career. His time of 3:43.03 has
him ranked in the top five in the
nation this season.
Munsch will be joined by
Brendan Soucie, who ran the 800
meters last weekend in a personal
best time of 1:50.21. The junior
from Osawatomie has the fastest
800 meter time run by a University
male since 2005.
The women will be led by Natalia
Bartnovskaya, who has been rewrit-
ing the pole vault record book this
season. After winning the NCAA
indoor championship last month,
she broke her own school record
last weekend with a vault of 4.41
meters (14-5.5 ft.).
Joining Bartnovskaya and the
No. 1 ranked Jayhawks will be the
4x400 team that posted their fast-
est time of the season last week-
end in Arizona. The quartet of
seniors Denesha Morris, Taylor
Washington, Paris Daniels and
junior Diamond Dixon is ranked
eighth in the nation right now, with
a season best time of 3:32.26.
The Kansas Relays are April
17-20. The John McDonnell
Invitational in Arkansas is this
Saturday, with the first event start-
ing at 5 p.m.

WASHINGTON Bryce
Harper homered, Ian Desmond
had three extra-base hits, Danny
Espinosa provided his first two RBIs
of the season, and the Washington
Nationals beat the Chicago White
Sox 5-2 Wednesday night to stay
unbeaten at home.
In a game that began 16 min-
utes late because, the Nationals
explained, the umpires got stuck
in traffic, Washington starter
Jordan Zimmermann (2-0) limited
Chicago to two runs and seven hits
in seven innings. Both runs scored
on groundouts.
Drew Storen pitched the eighth,
and closer Rafael Soriano worked
around a hit in the ninth for his
fourth save in five chances.
Harper hit his fourth homer into
the second deck leading off the
fourth against Gavin Floyd (0-2),
who allowed five runs and nine hits
in 5 1-3 innings.
Desmond tripled, doubled twice
and scored twice as reigning NL
East Washington improved to 5-0
at Nationals Park.
Every Nationals starting posi-
tion player reached base at least
once; the only one without a hit,
Kurt Suzuki, walked three times.
After Chicago drew within 3-2
on Alex Rios RBI groundout in
the top of the sixth, Washington
chased Floyd in the bottom half by
tacking on two more runs.
Desmond led off with a tri-
ple, Espinosa followed with an
RBI double, Suzuki walked and
Zimmermann sacrificed the run-
ners over.
Floyd was done, and lefty reliev-
er Donnie Veal came in to face
Span but gave up a run-scoring
single and was replaced by righty
Nate Jones. With runners on the
corners, Jones got Jayson Werth to
ground into a 5-4-3 double play.
Harper turned on Floyds first
pitch of the fourth, an 86 mph
offering that never stood a chance.
With a thwack! off the bat, the
ball arced into the second deck
beyond right field, and Harper
paused for a moment to watch his
shot before sprinting around the
bases.
That gave the Nationals 11 hom-
ers in their last four games, 15
for the season. The 14 entering
Wednesday were a franchise record
through a seasons first seven
games.
Floyd struck out the next two
batters, but then got into more
trouble, giving up Desmonds dou-
ble and Espinosas single that gave
Washington a 2-1 lead.
Harpers next time at the plate,
in the fifth, he followed a single by
Werth with a single up the mid-
dle of his own, this time on a 91
mph first pitch. TV replays showed
Harpers bat split on impact with
the ball, then broke completely as
the wood slapped against his back
on his follow-through.
Ryan Zimmerman followed with
an RBI single to shallow right.

Te University of Kansas will
begin construction on an addi-
tion to Allen Fieldhouse later
this year to house James Nai-
smiths original hand-typed rules
of basketball.
With a planning budget of $18
million, KU Endowment will
raise private funds from donors
to cover the construction costs
to build the new student center
on the southern edge of campus.
Te main feature of the building
is display space for Naismiths
rules, but it will also provide ser-
vices and programs for Univer-
sity students, faculty and public
visitors. Te construction is on
target to be complete and open
to the public by fall of 2014.
KU Endowment President
Dale Seuferling said the build-
ing will be an extension of the
historical display of the Booth
Family Hall of Athletics in Allen
Fieldhouse.
It will have a lot of history,
mainly because of the rules
of basketball, Seuferling said.
Tere will be displays con-
structed around the rules about
James Naismiths impact on
basketball, his role at KU, the
traditions of KU basketball and
the strong history of basketball
coaches at KU.
Seuferling also said the build-
ing will be similar to the Kansas
Union, with dining services and
space for students and faculty to
work and socialize. Te building
will be operated by the Kansas
Union because of its expertise
in food service, and the Union
will provide various programs,
events and activities for the pub-
lic. Seuferling said the addition
is expected to be a tourist attrac-
tion for visitors, draw in Univer-
sity alumni, serve as an impor-
tant spot for student recruiting
visits and ofer activities before
and afer basketball games.
Te new student center would
not be a reality without the ef-
forts of Jayhawk basketball fan
Josh Swade. He led the plan to
purchase Naismiths rules and
bring them to the University.
Swade grew up in Kansas, and
his parents are University alum-
ni. He said he felt compelled to
fnd a way to purchase the rules
because he thought they needed
to be in the school with the larg-
est basketball tradition, as well as
the place where James Naismith
made his legacy.
Swade visited the University
this February to talk about his
experience and show his docu-
mentary about his journey to
obtain the rules called Teres
No Place Like Home, produced
by ESPN Films 30 for 30.
Te quest began when the Nai-
smith International Basketball
Foundation put the rules up for
auction in 2010 at Sothebys in
New York. Swade was the brains
behind the operation to get the
rules, but he needed donors to
buy them. He eventually teamed
with David Booth, a member of
KU Endowment Associations
board of trustees, who purchased
the two-page document for $4.3
million.
I cant imagine that Ill ever
do anything as signifcant or as
satisfying or as coolTis is
kind of one of those extraordi-
nary moments in ones life where
you can do something that will
be truly memorable, Booth said
in Teres No Place Like Home
afer winning the auction.
Te Kansas City Star report-
ed that along with his fnancial
contribution, Booth requested a
building be constructed in Law-
rence to display the rules. In a few
months, Lawrence will see this
building and James Naismiths
rules adjacent to the northeast
corner of Allen Fieldhouse.

Coming of a two-game road
trip, the Jayhawk tennis team is
ready to host the Texas Longhorns
this Friday. Tis match has poten-
tial to be a springboard for Kansas
as the team is on a 19-game con-
ference losing streak and needs a
Big 12 win in order to escape the
conference cellar.
Right now the Jayhawks are one
of three teams in the Big 12 with-
out a win in conference play. Texas,
however, is 4-1 in Big 12 play and
11-9 overall, so a win against them
may be what the Jayhawks need to
put some pep in their step.
For Kansas, the winning for-
mula this season has been to get
of to a quick start in doubles play,
something the team has struggled
with over the past few matches.
Te duo of junior Paulina Los and
sophomore Maria Belen Luduea
has been stellar this year. If they
can spark the rest of the doubles
players, then Texas might have its
hands full.
Singles play has been a roller
coaster ride for the Jayhawks this
spring as the team has a couple 7-0
victories on the season, but also a
few 7-0 losses. Kansas is at its best
when Los, freshman Anastasija
Trubica and fellow freshman Ma-
ria Jose Cardona are playing well.
For them, it will be a long day as
Texas has a formidable lineup.
Most notably in the lineup is the
two-time All-American Aeriel El-
lis, who in her last match earned
her 100th career singles win.
If Kansas is able to stymie the
Longhorns in doubles play, then
the team might be able to end its
losing streak. Te match begins at
2 p.m. at the Jayhawk Tennis Cen-
ter.

F
ilms about racism can por-
tray it two ways: realisti-
cally, with poignancy and a
balanced, efective point, or tritely,
lacking in subtlety and emotional
resonance while repeatedly hitting
you over the head with a message.
42 hews a lot closer to the
second camp than the frst, which
is a shame. Jackie Robinson was
a baseball legend and one of the
most important players in the
history of sports for bridging the
racial divide in Americas pastime,
so his story deserves a better cin-
ematic treatment. What couldve
been a great movie is undone by
clichd writing, slow pacing and
dull direction.
Te only real saving grace is
some solid performances and
the sequences where Robinson
(Chadwick Boseman) works his
magic on the feld. Te flm high-
lights these strengths early on, as
Brooklyn Dodgers team executive
Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford)
searches for the frst black man to
bring into white baseball.
He quickly fnds the base-steal-
ing frebrand Jackie Robinson and
starts him out on the Montreal
Royals before moving him up to
the Dodgers for his inaugural sea-
son in 1947. Tere, Robinson must
overcome great prejudice amidst
an infated runtime and melo-
drama.
Writer/director Brian Helge-
land drags the story out too long,
letting many scenes meander
without enough focus, and he
lacks a bit on actual baseball ac-
tion. Anytime Robinson is play-
ing, and especially when hes steal-
ing bases, its exciting to watch
(John C. McGinley from Scrubs
as the commentator is a particu-
larly enjoyable touch). When he
faces challenges on the feld, like a
pitcher beaning him in the head or
an opposing teams manager (Alan
Tudyk) harassing him with nasty,
racist slurs, the movie succeeds in
being both a strong sports tale and
racial drama.
Of the feld, however, the racial
politics are far less compelling and
feel simplifed for the most general
demographic. Moneyball was
able to make the of-feld and be-
hind-the-scenes goings-on more
interesting than the game itself,
but it had more complex, dynam-
ic writing boosting it. Boseman
and the other supporting players
(there are plenty of recognizable
faces that are fun to pick out) can
carry the narrative along in the
meantime, but cant support it
with much momentum.
While the simmering anger,
outstanding power and devilish
energy Boseman brings to the role
prove him a worthy leading man,
its Ford who steals the show. He
goes full growl here, grufy de-
livering his lines with more vigor
than hes had in many of his re-
cent roles, and the gravelly voice
supremely entertains. Hes getting
closer and closer to the Clint East-
wood old man snarl, and it makes
Ford the best part of 42.
Undemanding audiences and
baseball lovers will probably fnd
this extremely formulaic sports
fick agreeable enough. But for
those who think baseball is boring
or value efcient storytelling, this
ones a strike out.

Jon Jay, Carlos Beltran and
Matt Adams homered in a span
of seven at-bats off Homer Bailey
as the Cardinals took two of three
from the NL Central champions.
Matt Carpenter added a two-
run homer on a four-hit day.
Adams homered for the second
straight game and added an RBI
double and walk.
The Cardinals have dominated
the Reds at home the last decade,
losing just three of 28 series with
two splits.
Westbrook (1-1) threw his
fourth career shutout, walking
four and striking out three.
Westbrook pitched his first
shutout since Aug. 9, 2006, against
the Angels when he was with
Cleveland, and this was his 15th
career complete game. He held
the Reds hitless in six at-bats with
runners in scoring position, and
contributed his 11th career RBI
with a single in the seventh for St.
Louis final run.
Bailey (1-1) had gone 23 straight
shutout innings including his
no-hitter against Pittsburgh last
season before the Cardinals
broke open a scoreless game with
four runs with two outs in the
fifth.
Bailey was charged with seven
runs in five-plus innings and
dropped to 3-8 with a 5.52 ERA
against the Cardinals, including
0-4 with a 6.93 ERA at Busch
Stadium.
The Cardinals advanced only
two runners into scoring position
in the first four innings and Bailey
got two quick outs to start the
fifth before running into trouble
against the top of the lineup. St.
Louis scored 10 runs on 11 hits
in the fifth, sixth and seventh
off Bailey, Logan Ondrusek and
Alfredo Simon.
Jays second homer just cleared
center fielder Shin-Soo Choos
leaping attempt at the wall.
Carpenter followed with a sin-
gle and Matt Holliday hit an RBI
double, prompting a visit from
pitching coach Bryan Price.
Beltran then hit his first homer
of the season on to make it 4-0.
Adams hit a two-run homer in
the sixth off Bailey. Carpenters
two-run shot homer three batters
later made it 8-0.

ARLINGTON, Texas Matt
Moore and four Rays reliev-
ers combined on a fve-hitter
and Tampa Bay beat Texas 2-0
Wednesday in the coldest day
game ever at Rangers Ballpark.
It was only 39 degrees when the
game started afer a rain delay of 1
hour, 29 minutes. Tat was 40 de-
grees colder than Tuesday night.
Evan Longoria had a sacrifce
fy for the Rays, who snapped a
three-game losing streak. Teir
other run came on a grounder
afer Derek Holland (0-1) walked
the bases loaded, his only three
walks in his eight innings.
Moore (2-0) limited Texas to a
single and struck out fve, but had
six walks and threw 106 pitches
52 of them balls with two wild
pitches to get into the sixth. He
benefted from two double-play
grounders, one soon afer he came
out of the game.
Cesar Ramos, Jake McGee, Joel
Peralta and Fernando Rodney fn-
ished out Tampa Bays third shut-
out of the season. Rodney got his
frst save.
Te only other time Moore
pitched in Texas was the 2011
AL division series opener, when
he threw seven scoreless innings
for the Rays. He threw six shut-
out frames against Cleveland last
week in his frst start this season.
Holland (0-1) allowed two runs
and fve hits with four strikeouts
and the three walks.
Texas, which had won six of
seven since its season-opening
loss at Houston, appeared to have
a run in the sixth. Mitch More-
land, the third batter afer Moore
lef the game, beat out an inning-
ending double-play grounder.
Moreland had already been sig-
naled safe and Nelson Cruz had
crossed home plate when interfer-
ence was called against Jef Baker.
Te base runner appeared to slide
away from second into the path of
shortstop Yunel Escobar, who was
making the relay throw.
Baker argued briefy with sec-
ond-base umpire Marty Foster,
and was soon joined by Rangers
manager Ron Washington. Foster
motioned that Baker went out of
his normal path, which television
replays appeared to support.
Tat inning-ending play was
much diferent than the game-
ending strike of the series opener
Texas won 5-4, which ended when
Foster was behind home plate and
called strike three on a curveball
low and outside a call he later
admitted he got wrong.
In the eighth, Adrian Beltre
was thrown out at home trying
to score on pinch-hitter Leonys
Martins fy ball. Right felder
Ben Zobrist made a solid throw
to catcher Jose Lobaton, who had
the plate blocked and tagged out
Beltre.
All three of Hollands walks
came in the third. Te frst was to
No. 9 hitter Kelly Johnson, who
eventually scored on a felders
choice grounder by Zobrist, the
batter who thought he had drawn
a walk Monday night to put two
runners on base for Longoria be-
fore Fosters game-ending call.
Desmond Jennings led of the
ffh with his third double in two
games and scored on Longorias
deep fy ball to right.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Matt Moore delivers to the Texas Rangers in the frst inning of a baseball game wednesday,
april 10, 2013, in arlington, Texas.
Former NFL players claim head injuries were neglected
PHILADELPHIA Senior U.S.
District Judge Anita Brody has
a billion-dollar problem on her
hands.
Brody, of Philadelphia, heard
arguments Tuesday on whether
lawsuits that accuse the NFL of glo-
rifying violence and hiding known
concussion risks belong in court or
in arbitration.
Brody could side with the 4,200
players and let them pursue law-
suits, or she could rule for the
league and fnd that head injuries
are covered under health provi-
sions of the collective bargaining
agreement.
Or she could issue a split deci-
sion, letting some of the fraud and
negligence claims against the NFL
move forward in court. Her deci-
sion could be worth more than a
billion dollars and is expected to
be appealed by either side, spawn-
ing years of litigation.
Tere are people who arent go-
ing to be able to be around long
enough to fnd out the end of this
case, and my husband is one of
them, said Eleanor Perfetto, the
widow of guard Ralph Wenzel,
who played for Pittsburgh and San
Diego from 1966 to 1973. He died
last June, and Im here for him. He
was sick for almost two decades
and, in the end, had very, very se-
vere, debilitating dementia.
In the closely-watched court ar-
guments Tuesday, NFL lawyer Paul
Clement insisted that teams bear
the chief responsibility for health
and safety under the contract,
along with the players union and
the players themselves.
Te clubs are the ones who had
doctors on the sidelines who had
primary responsibility for sending
players back into the game, Clem-
ent said at a news conference afer
the hearing.
Te players argue that the league
glorifed and monetized vio-
lence through NFL Films, thereby
profting from vicious hits to the
head.
Players lawyer David Frederick
also accused the league of conceal-
ing studies linking concussions to
neurological problems for decades,
even afer the NFL created a Mild
Traumatic Brain Injury commit-
tee in 1994. Te panel was led by a
rheumatologist.
It set up a sham committee de-
signed to get information about
neurological risks, but in fact
spread misinformation, Frederick
argued.
In recent years, scores of former
NFL players and other concussed
athletes have been diagnosed afer
their deaths with chronic traumatic
encephalopathy, or CTE, including
popular Pro Bowler Junior Seau
and lead plaintif Ray Easterling.
Both committed suicide last year.
About one-third of the leagues
12,000 former players have joined
the litigation since Easterling fled
suit in 2011. Some are battling de-
mentia, depression or Alzheimers
disease, and fault the league for
rushing them back on the feld af-
ter concussions. Others are worried
about future problems and want
their health monitored.
Brody honed in on whether the
collective bargaining agreement
specifes that head injuries are
workplace safety
issues and belong
in arbitration.
It has to be
really specifc.
Tats what I
have to wrestle
with, she said.
F r e d e r i c k
called the con-
tract silent on
latent head in-
juries, and said
players therefore have the right
to seek damages in court. Brody
is not expected to rule for several
months.
Players and family members
on hand for the hearing included
Kevin Turner, a former Philadel-
phia Eagles running back now bat-
tling Lou Gehrigs disease; Dorsey
Levens, a veteran running back
who made a 2012 documentary on
concussions called Bell Rung, and
Easterlings widow, Mary Ann.
One wrinkle in the NFLs argu-
ment is what it calls the gap year
players, who played from 1987 to
1993, when there was no collective
bargaining agreement in place. Te
league, eager to avoid opening up
its fles in a court case, argues that
those players were bound by pre-
vious contracts or contracts later
in efect when they collected pen-
sions.
I certainly ad-
mit that the gap
year players ...
are the most dif-
fcult cases, said
Clement.
However, he
said very few
people played
only those years,
and not before or
afer. For most,
theres no way to
say the only hits that hurt you are
the hits from those years, he said.
Tom McHale played in the NFL
from 1987 to 1995, before the All-
Ivy League athlete died of an acci-
dental overdose in 2008. He was 45
and had battled depression and ad-
diction toward the end of his life.
Lisa McHale, of Tampa, Fla.,
hardly recognized her once-gregar-
ious husband. Afer his death, he
was also diagnosed with CTE. She
believes the player lawsuits, and
the willingness of retired players to
go public with their problems, will
help her three teenage sons under-
stand their fathers illness.
To know it wasnt his fault, that
there was something neurological
going on, it helps, she said.

Theres no way to say the

only hits that hurt you are
the hits from those years.

Kansas bullpen is fring on all cylin-
ders with Jordan Piche collecting his
sixth save and Big 12 Newcomer of the
Week honors against Oklahoma state.
Kansas sophomore middle reliever
Drew Morovick pitched a four-inning
save against Iowa.

The Jayhawks have relied on the short

sas logged 12 hits in its last appear-
ance, with an 8-3 victory over the Iowa
Hawkeyes in Iowa City, Iowa. Michael
suiter continues to hit at a high level

hawks are focused on scoring early and
often, something theyve done in beating
Oklahoma state and Iowa.
Kansas middle infelders senior
third baseman Jordan Dreiling and
senior shortstop Kevin Kuntz are
turning double plays as well as any-
one in the Big 12 lately and the Jay-
hawks committed one error in Iowa.

level with Michael suiter picking
up his sixth outfeld assist over the
weekend. expect the Jayhawks to
start several young felders against
Missouri Valley College.

6.14 eRa on the season. senior pitcher
Brandon Cooper leads the rotation for
the Vikings. Cooper has a 1-6 record
and 4.61 eRa in 41 innings pitched

ting average of .223 in their 23 games
this season. The team from Marshall,

erage in 58 plate appearances. Corona
has collected 19 hits and three RBIs
on the season.
Viking felders are working at a
93-percent rate on the season with
39 errors committed on the season.
against the Jayhawks, they can ex-
pect some pressure from the short
game as Kansas has ramps up its
focus on moving runners with bunts.
shortstop Devin Burnworth leads the
team with 39 assists.
