Te University of Kansas
sexual assault training pro-
gram may be revised for next
year.
Te Title IX Roundtable sex-
ual assault training subcom-
mittee is reviewing programs
at other universities and eval-
uating what works well. Tese
students and campus admin-
istrators are working together
to design an efective program
to make students recognize
and discourage sexual assault.
KU is really taking a lead-
ership role, said Jane Mc-
Queeny, executive director
of the Ofce of Institutional
Opportunity and Access. We
are seeking input from stu-
dents a lot of colleges dont
do that. We want to hear from
our students.
Te current program is an
online training on sexual ha-
rassment and sexual assault
coordinated by the Ofce of
Institutional Opportunity and
Access.
A big problem is that on-
line training isn't engaging
because students can click
through videos without inter-
acting with the information,
said Emma Halling, co-chair
of the Title IX Roundtable and
chair of the training subcom-
mittee.
Halling, a senior from Hays,
said following up the online
component with in-person
training would help students
better understand how sexual
assault afects them.
One in fve women will be
sexually assaulted before she
graduates which is a stag-
gering number, Halling said.
If you go into class in one of
the big Budig classrooms, that
means that easily 200 women
sitting there in that class with
you have been sexually as-
saulted.
Students need to understand
that sexual assault afects
them and their peers person-
ally, said Kathy Rose-Mock-
ry. As executive director of
the Emily Taylor Center,
Rose-Mockry helps ofer sup-
port and services for victims.
I think we can do more to
engage students on these is-
sues, said Kathy Rose-Mock-
ry, executive director of the
Emily Taylor Center. To ex-
pand the training from a this
is what the requirements are
focus to encompass a broader
understanding of sexual as-
sault on campus.
Victims can get class sched-
ules rearranged, have an es-
cort to class or have housing
arrangements changed if
needed. More information
about these resources can be
found at emilytaylorcenter.
ku.edu/resources.
As a community of Jay-
hawks, we all have a respon-
sibility to each other to make
this a safe campus, Mc-
Queeny said.
Halling said the subcom-
mittee hopes to have a fnal-
ized curriculum proposal in
April so the IOA can consider
changes to be implement for
fall 2014.
Anyone with sexual assault
training suggestions can
contact Halling by emailing
sbvp@ku.edu. Te Title IX
Roundtable is open to any
participants.
We absolutely want stu-
dents to feel like they are
shaping this because they
are, Halling said. Its most-
ly students on the committee
making it and we dont want
to create something for stu-
dents to take that they dont
relate to in any way.

Democrats push for min-
imum wage increase
WASHINGTON House
Democrats are determined to
cast an election-year spotlight
on Republican opposition to
raising the minimum wage and
overhauling immigration laws.
To try to accomplish that
in the GOP-controlled House,
Democrats are planning to rely
on an infrequently used, rarely
successful tactic known as a
"discharge petition."
It requires the minority party
in this case, Democrats,
who are unable to dictate the
House agenda to persuade
some two dozen Republicans
to defy their leadership, join
Democrats and force a vote on
setting the federal minimum
wage at $10.10 an hour.
House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi of California said Demo-
crats will push the wage issue
when Congress returns from its
break Feb. 24. Forcing a vote
on a comprehensive overhaul of
immigration laws could occur
in a few months.
Democratic leaders argue
that a majority of Americans
favor both steps, which are
priorities for President Barack
Obama, and say the House GOP
is the obstacle.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.
Teyre hidden in babies
diapers, ramen noodle soup
packages, footballs, soda cans
and even body cavities.
Not drugs or weapons, but
cellphones. Teyre becoming
a growing problem in prisons
across the country as they are
used to make threats, plan es-
capes and for inmates to con-
tinue to make money from
illegal activity even while be-
hind bars.
When two murderers serv-
ing life sentences escaped
from Florida Panhandle pris-
on last fall, a search of their
cells turned up a cellphone
used to help plan the getaway,
drawing attention to the bur-
geoning problem. It was just
one of 4,200 cellphones con-
fscated by prison ofcials last
year, or 11 per day.
And while prison ofcials
are trying their best to keep
cellphones out, its not such
an easy task. Jamming cell-
phone signals is prohibited by
federal law, and it costs more
than $1 million each for au-
thorized towers that control
what cellphone calls can come
in and out of prisons. Some
prisons even have to police
their own corrections ofcers
who sometimes help inmates
receive contraband.
In Texas, a death row in-
mate made several calls with
a cellphone to state Sen. John
Whitmire, who chairs the
Criminal Justice Commit-
tee. Whitmire didnt believe
it when he started receiving
calls from death row inmate
Richard Tabler.
He held his phone out, I
guess outside his cell and
there was a very distinct pris-
on noise. He said, Did you
hear that? and I said, Yup.
Tats a prison, Whitmire
said. I said, Howd you get
that phone? He said, I paid
$2,100 for it.
Te calls continued, and
Whitmire had the phone in-
vestigated. Tablers mother
was paying the bill and col-
lecting payments from the
other prisoners families. She
was arrested for her part in
the prison cellphone scheme.
Tabler wasnt happy about
that and made another call
to Whitmire. He said he
was going to have me killed,
Whitmire said.
As corrections departments
keep looking for new ways
to stop cellphone smuggling,
prisoners are fnding creative,
new ways to get them in.
You may get a prepackaged,
sealed ramen noodle soup
and its completely sealed
the weight seems to be right,
but when you open it, theres
a cellphone inside, said Tim-
othy Cannon, Floridas deputy
corrections secretary.
Phones have been hidden
in the hollowed out centers
of large stacks of legal docu-
ments. One corrections of-
cer found two liter soda bot-
tles that were used as foats
outside a prison. When he
pulled them out of a pond,
bags containing more than a
dozen cellphones each were
found tied to them.
Weve found cellphones
and drugs in babies diapers
during visitations, Cannon
said. If they think youd nev-
er search an infant child, that
will be the next place they go
to try to get it in.
We have found cellphones
in the private area of visi-
tors Im talking females
and males, said Christopher
Epps, head of the Mississippi
prison system and president
of the American Corrections
Association. He said its not
unusual to fnd three phones
in a body cavity.
States are looking for new
ways to fnd cellphones or
to prevent their use. Epps
said that includes recently
installed netting held up by
50-foot poles to keep peo-
ple from throwing bags over
prison fences for prisoners to
retrieve.
Federal law prohibits jam-
ming cellphone signals, but
Texas, Maryland, California
and Mississippi installed tow-
ers at some prisons that con-
trol what cellphone trafc is
allowed. Phone signals reach
the tower, but only authorized
numbers are then passed
through.
Its not something Florida
is considering because of the
hefy price tag. Each system
costs about $1.5 million, and
with 49 major prisons, the
state doesnt have the money
to cover them all.

enjoyed of being the source of
breakthroughs, Warren said.
Other forms of funding in-
clude industry funding and
private funding, but these
funds go to applied research,
which is in-depth studying
of discoveries made in basic
research. Te University also
works to increase these funds
and has seen a raise in indus-
try funding from $8.4 million
to $13.3 million.
Warren feels that the work
being done to increase fund-
ing is a good sign for the fu-
ture.
I think we can turn this
around, Im confdent of that,

Rev. Dwight Welch, a pas-
tor at Ecumenical Campus
Ministries who identifes as
gay, said that the bill goes
against the values that he be-
lieves Christianity is founded
upon and raises the question
whether or not people real-
ly believe that everybody is
made in the image of God.
Tere is a 1970s poster I
remember seeing and it said,
God doesnt make junk. So
when we have legislation that
kind of consigns people on
that level and thats wheth-
er youre poor, or youre faced
with disability, or whatev-
er the criteria is, it feels like
youre trying to nullify that
or failing to recognize the
idea of people being made in
the image of God.
