House Bill 2453, a bill that

would allow legal protection


for individuals who may wish
to deny a service to others
based on their religious beliefs
regarding marriage, passed the
state House legislation on Feb.
12 and was referred to the state
Senate judiciary committee on
Feb. 13. Te bill has caused a
rise in concern from the les-
bian, gay, bisexual and trans-
gender (LGBT) community
in respect to what it means re-
garding same-sex marriage.
Despite its passing the House
with a 72-49 vote, a number
of people from Lawrence,
the state of Kansas and other
parts of the United States have
spoken out against the bill. A
Facebook page opposing the
bill has obtained over 50,000
supporters since it was creat-
ed on Feb. 11. Te President
of the state Senate, Susan Wa-
gle, also released a statement
regarding its unlikelihood of
passing the state Senate.
Te issue for many people,
such as the LGBT communi-
ty, is the concern that this bill
would legalize discrimination
against citizens who identify
as a sexual or gender minority.
Tey will say this is only
about marriage, but the way
that the bill is worded was so
broad that it could be any-
where from the caterer doesnt
want to do this, to now the
police dont want anything to
do with me, said Christine
Noriega, a sophomore from
Union City, N.J., who serves
as the director of educational
outreach for the Universitys
Queers and Allies, and who
also identifes as a lesbian.
Te bill has been perceived
by opponents as a legislative
safeguard against a possible fu-
ture overturn of the same-sex
marriage ban in Kansas. Clay
Barker, the executive direc-
tor of the Kansas Republican
Party, said in an email that he
believes the motivation for the
bill was two lawsuits that took
place in New Mexico and Ore-
gon, in which a photographer
and a baker refused to provide
services to a same-sex couple.
Rep. Emily Perry, D-Mission,
said she thinks that the act is
only discriminatory.
Personally, it is the way the
bill is worded. Its pretty vague
and to me it is very broad,
Perry said. I think the pro-
ponents are arguing that it
preserves their religious beliefs
in that they dont have to par-
ticipate in same-sex marriages.
However, under current law
they dont have to participate
in same-sex marriages. We
passed the religious freedom
bill last session and sexual
orientation is not a protected
class under the anti-discrimi-
nation laws in Kansas.
Rep. Charles Macheers,
R-Shawnee, stated his stance
on the bill in a statement re-
leased online and said the bill
does not allow discrimination
based on any persons sexual
orientation or identity, and
grants rights that are already
in efect because of Title VII of
the federal civil rights act.
Te bill is tightly drafed to
advance a simple principle that
should unite all of us as Kan-
sans. Macheers then stated
the principle of the bill: Te
state should never force any-
one to perform an action he
or she believes to be wrong as
a matter of sincerely held reli-
gious belief, unless it has good
reason, not merely to have the
action performed, but to insist
that even those who fnd it
wrong perform it.
Due to an $11.5 million de-
cline in federal funding, of-
cials are worried for the long-
term future of federally funded
research at the University of
Kansas. Te trend of decline,
partially due to the govern-
ment sequester, threatens re-
search because federal funds
account for 86.6 percent of
the Universitys total research
funds.
Steve Warren, president of
the KU Center for Research,
believes that the cuts will afect
students as well as faculty.
I fear that we will have
less students coming into the
sciences and research areas,
which will hurt our success as
a society in the long run, War-
ren said.
Legislation that restores the
majority of the cuts made in
the sequester only focuses on
the short-term, which means
that the source of future fund-
ing is unclear.
Te fact that the money is
decreasing is in some ways
surprising because research
funding has historically been
something that both Repub-
licans and Democrats have
supported, Warren said. Its
kind of gotten caught up in the
politics that we all experience
now days.
Kevin Boatright, director of
Communications for Research
and Graduate Studies, said
that while the legislation is a
welcome starting point, more
needs to be done to correct the
consequences of the sequester.
Te reality is if you look at
what the federal government
has been doing in funding for
research it was already starting
to decline before the sequester,
so the sequester has just added
to that, Boatright said.
Although there has been
a $3 million increase in the
appropriation of federal re-
search funds, there seems to
be fewer government funds
devoted to university research.
Tis means that faculty must
be more competitive to get
the funds needed for their re-
search projects.
When youre in a feld or
in an industry where there, is
in essence, declining support,
it means that frst of all really
good, important things in the
case of research dont happen,
Warren said. Some research is
still happening, but theres less
of it.
In order to battle the decline,
the University works to make
funds a top priority for legisla-
tors by showing the impact the
research can have.
Tere are several arguments
we try to make. One is just that
this kind of investment helps
people, but it also has an efect
on the economy that is posi-
tive and it helps make us more
competitive with other coun-
tries, Boatright said.
Beyond educating legisla-
tors, the University deals with
the decline by learning how to
adjust.
We work to make ourselves
more efcient and more efec-
tive so that we can operate bet-
ter with less money, Warren
said.
Because research universi-
ties conduct the majority of
basic research, it is important
that the government continue
funding it to keep the country
competitive.
I have the concern about
in a highly competitive world,
where the U.S. has usual-
ly been the leader in break-
through research, that if we
are supporting it less then we
can lose the position that weve

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-

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.

works to increase these funds

try funding from $8.4 million
to $13.3 million.

Some of the happiest

outside. Lying in my

Junie B. Jones, hiding from

my fort and enjoying my
high school graduation party.
Recently, the most humbling
experience of my life occurred
outdoors: trekking up an
Indian mountain to behold
a world largely untainted by
man.
Since then, Ive tried to
understand the feeling I
had when I stood breathless
on that mountain in India.
Afer months of wondering
about that feeling, out of
nowhere, I experienced it
again. I was sitting near the
Kansas River, watching the
ripples in the water, feeling
the wind on my shoulders
and lazing in the sun when I
felt it. All of a sudden I was
blissfully happy. More than
that, I felt a connection with
something greater than myself
while at the same time I felt a
connection within myself.
Scientifcally, there is a
perfectly logical answer to
why I experienced such joy.
Numerous studies show
that people who regularly
experience nature report
greater happiness. Happiness
increases well-being,
therefore, being outside causes
us to feel better. Additionally,
research indicates that nature
increases energy and vitality
levels, which in turn increases
our ability to ward of illness.
Te reason I felt so alive while
standing on the mountain and
laying beside the river was
because my brain was reacting
to my surroundings.
Now Im going to step
away from the scientifc and
propose an alternate reason
for my euphoric feelings:
connection with nature.
Individuals who have strong
social bonds are said to be
happier, healthier people.
But couldnt we apply that
same concept to a person
with a strong bond with the
environment? Whether we are
in a situation of love for others
or for nature, we feel a sense
of connectivity, desire to give
and a need to protect. When
we love our environment,
when we understand that
we are a part of it, we can
experience feelings of personal
happiness. And even more
importantly, we can banish
the feelings of dominance
over nature that our society
accepts, and let in a new norm
of mutuality.
If youre still reading at this
point and havent abandoned
my hippie-dippie writing, I
suggest you fnd your spot
in nature. I found mine on a
mountain in India and by a
river in Lawrence. Your spot
can be anywhere. You will
know youve found it when
you sit down and the only
thing that matters is that
moment, that feeling of deep
happiness for your small place
in this big world.

S
idewalk etiquette is a
constant struggle for
all of us, and my goal is
to make it a problem of the
past. It is debatably the root
of all evil (just kidding, but
it sucks). Too ofen people
walk on the wrong side of the
sidewalk, run into each other,
or inconsiderately walk in
groups. Tis slows down life
for everybody. Tats really
annoying especially when
Im trying to avoid frostbite
or get to somewhere I need
to be.
Let me explain where my
deep-seeded hatred for this
comes from. I worked for a
few months in a large and
busy bufet. At peak hours,
I had to navigate through
the kind of crowds you see
at a concert while under
pressure to transport all of
these peoples dishes across
the restaurant as quickly as
possible. Tis instilled my
disdain for inefcient foot
trafc. Its really not a critical
issue, but it is a hefy pet
peeve for a lot of people. I
want to share a few tips that
will help everything fow
smoothly while were trying
to navigate through campus.
Te biggest part of sidewalk
etiquette is walking on
the correct side. Tis is
pretty simple to remember:
Te right side is the right
side. Dont forget that this
applies to staircases as well.
Going against the fow is
problematic for everyone.
While youre walking on
the proper side, you can
also make an efort to not
stop unexpectedly. Its like
not using a turn signal: a
cardinal sin. If youre going
to stop, slow down or dart
out to the side where you
wont interrupt anyone. As is
the case with any accidental
bumping, apologize no matter
whose fault it is. Its just
common courtesy.
Another crucial aspect is
using your body language
to direct oncoming people.
If you realize that a game
of sidewalk chicken is
happening, angle your limbs
towards the right and start
moving that way. Tey will
pick up on your cue and
correct their trajectory,
allowing for smooth travel
all around. Dont wait for
them to move, because they
wont. Have you ever been
sitting with a group of people
and collectively made the
decision to leave, but nobody
does because each person is
waiting for someone else?
Its the same scenario. Dont
play sidewalk chicken. Be the
catalyst for change. Move to
the side.
Also, consider your physical
presence when in a group.
Even if its just one other
person, you will likely be
walking next to each other
and occupying twice the
space. If its a narrow pathway
(as is the case when snow
limits the walking area), then
position yourself so that you
can be easily passed. If its not
a simple thing to do, just be
aware of the people walking
behind you so that you can
allow room for someone to
pass if theyre walking at a
faster pace. When its negative
whatever outside, I dont want
to be stuck behind you.
Lets act like were civilized.
It requires very little
individually to keep things
organized and fuid, but goes
a long way in not annoying
others.

LONDON Te force of
"Gravity" was strong at the
British Academy Film Awards
on Sunday, but it was unfinch-
ing drama "12 Years a Slave"
that took the top prize.
Steve McQueen's visceral, vi-
olent story of a free black man
kidnapped into servitude in
the 19th-century U.S. South
was named best picture. Its
star, Chiwetel Ejiofor, took the
male acting trophy.
Ejiofor thanked McQueen,
a visual artist who turned to
flmmaking with "Hunger" and
"Shame," for bringing the story
to the screen.
Holding the trophy, the Brit-
ish actor told McQueen: "Tis
is yours. I'm going to keep it
that's the kind of guy I am
but it's yours."
McQueen reminded the cer-
emony's black-tie audience
that, in some parts of the
world, slavery is not a thing of
the past.
"Tere are 21 million peo-
ple in slavery as we sit here,"
he said. "I just hope 150 years
from now our ambivalence
will not allow another flm-
maker to make this flm."
Te prizes, coming two weeks
before Hollywood's Academy
Awards, are watched as an in-
dicator of likely Oscar success.
It was a good night for lost-
in-space thriller "Gravity,"
which won six prizes, includ-
ing best director for Alfonso
Cuaron.
Te 3-D special efects ex-
travaganza also took the
awards for sound, music, cine-
matography and visual efects.
And despite its mixed par-
entage made in Britain by
a Mexican director and star-
ring American actors it was
named best British flm.
Cuaron paid tribute to star
Sandra Bullock, who is alone
onscreen for much of the flm.
"Without her performance,
everything would have been
nonsense," he said.
Con-artist caper "American
Hustle" charmed its way to
three prizes, including original
screenplay and supporting ac-
tress for Jennifer Lawrence. Its
spectacular 70s stylings took
the hair and makeup award.
Te best-actress prize went to
Cate Blanchett for her turn as
a socialite on the slide in "Blue
Jasmine." She dedicated the
award to her friend and fellow
actor Philip Seymour Hof-
man, who died this month,
calling him "a monumental
presence who is now sadly an
absence."
"Phil, buddy, this is for you,
you bastard. I hope you're
proud," Blanchett said.
W
hile some people
may have spent
their Valentines
Day having a quiet evening
out at a fancy restaurant,
many instead chose to spend
it at a beneft concert featuring
local musicians and comedy
acts.
Te Bottleneck, located at
737 New Hampshire St., host-
ed Te Townie Supper Club
Presents: Heart On for You
to raise money for the Ballard
Center, a nonproft organi-
zation that seeks to provide
an afordable early education
program and assistance for
families and individuals in
need. Tose attending the
event were encouraged to
donate toiletries at the door to
be entered for a chance to win
prizes.
Mark Hennessey of the
band Godzillionaire, in an
interview for KJHK, described
the theme of the show as love
shaped, heart break songs
for the evening. Tat theme
shined through as the audi-
ence was treated to a variety of
local bands with their takes on
the various moods of love.
Tese performers included
recently formed group Te
Telephone Line, stand-up
comedian Zach White, hard-
rock group Godzillionaire,
husband and wife duo Heath-
er Lofin and Andy Mortin
and local band Olassa.
While all of the acts kept
the excitement pumping, the
highlight of the night had to
be Godzillionaire, who decid-
ed to strip back their sound
for one night only and go by
the name Godchillionaire.
Te idea was to get a bunch
of rock bands together and
play female-fronted pop par-
ticularly for Valentines Day,
Hennessey said during the
interview.
Initially I was skeptical about
the idea but they made me
a believer with their perfor-
mance. Teir set featured
wonderful renditions of
modern pop acts, as well as
an original track. Standout
songs from their set included
their covers of Lordes Tennis
Court, and Lana Del Reys
Blue Jeans, both of which
were made to sound much
darker than their original
counterparts.
Te relaxed nature of the
performances was a nice
change of pace from the
intensity that rock shows
usually produce. Te bands
took a night of from taking
themselves too seriously and
spent time connecting with
the audience, something that
most local bands could really
learn about.

T
he opening scenes of
any indie flm, espe-
cially one produced
in the Midwest, are typically
a time of uncertainty for an
audience. Questions arise: Are
these scenes telling of rest of
the flms ambience? Ive never
heard of any of these actors, so
is this movie credible at all? Is
this thing even worth fnish-
ing? As Jayhawkers opens
with some obviously artifcial
dialogue and a low-budget
feel, these fears begin to twist
in your stomach. Its tempting
to write of the flm at this
point about 10 minutes in
but as the flms aura takes
shape, it slowly turns from a
good flm into a great flm,
then into a mesmerizing piece
of Kansan art.
It all opens with a young
Phog Allen (Nathan Peterson)
speaking to Coach James
Naismith (Mike Rapport) afer
playing in the 1907 Kansas vs.
Missouri game. Naismith tells
Allen that basketball cannot
be coached. Its a claim that
proves to be indirectly pro-
phetic, but never proven, later
in the flm. We then see Allen
(now played by Kip Niven) in
1954, pining in several ways
afer an unnamed freak-ath-
lete, high-school recruit with
more than 100 collegiate
ofers. Our frst glimpse of
Wilt Chamberlain isnt really
a glimpse at all; its instead a
shot of Allens shocked face
as he watches the kid play for
the frst time. At last, enter
Chamberlain (Justin Wesley),
towering above an adoring
Kansas crowd as he steps of
the plane in Lawrence for the
frst time
As he settles in, however, he
begins to realize Allens prom-
ise of a racism-free environ-
ment are simply not true. Hes
heckled in several Lawrence
restaurants and venues, but
eventually begins to fght back
against the segregation little
by little. Despite his eforts,
hes still hurt and teeters on
the brink of leaving Lawrence
in search of a more accepting
collegiate environment.
At the beginning of the 1956
season, Allen is forced into
retirement by the Unviersitys
chancellor and Chamberlain is
then thrust into the strict Xs
and Os world of new-coach
Dick Harp. Despite ultimate-
ly achieving All-American
status under his leadership,
Chamberlains relationship
with Harp never evolves past
near-tumultuous. Te flm
concludes with a unique
depiction of the 1956 NCAA
Championship game against
North Carolina and Cham-
berlains retirement from
collegiate ball afer just two
seasons.
Troughout the flms
journey, from a brow-pincher
with a low-budget feel to a
flm with audacious, subtly
brilliant flm technique, stands
one vital constant: jazz. Its
played throughout the entire
flm, serving as a control
group that cuts through
Chamberlains ups and downs.
Jazz is the blood that courses
through the veins of the flm.
It embodies Chamberlains
intrinsic, nonchalant poise,
which carries him through all
the hardships Lawrences seg-
regation throws at him. Jazz
illustrates the spontaneity and
breezy elegance of the game
on the court. Most important-
ly, however, jazz serves as a
release. Its a coping mecha-
nism for Americas oppressed
black population to pour its
distress into, and basketball is
Chamberlains jazz.
From its jazzily nuanced
lungs, Kevin Willmotts flm
breathes style. It dances
with a dashing, noir-esque
sophistication scarcely seen
in Hollywood. Also, the de-
piction of the actual gameplay
is completely diferent from
that of any other sports movie.
Instead of trying to force a
pragmatic basketball game
down our throats, Willmott
captures an essence. Its an
undefnable gray area in the
game, a smooth, yet manic,
improvisation of sorts. Wesley
shines in this gray area.
If Wesley and Niven are the
flms two most important
characters, the third is light.
Dazzling modern 50s-style
cinematography is the flms
technical benchmark and is
professionally rivaled only,
in this reviewers humble
opinion, by the Coen brothers
Te Man Who Wasnt Tere.
Oh, and the flm is also hys-
terically funny.
Also, can we talk in-depth
about Justin Wesley? Te dude
can act. His reserved self-as-
suredness pokes through all
the pores of his performance,
but mostly hes just really good
at being cool. Hes the absolute
perfect choice for the role:
a current Kansas basketball
player who understands
Allen Fieldhouses limelight,
but also has zero notable
previous acting experience,
so is totally pliable from a
directors standpoint at least.
Nivens performance as the
wiry, hotheaded, yet devoted,
Allen is a vibrant part of the
flm shining behind a well-
groomed ability to portray
loving toughness.
Jayhawkers is a must-see
for any Kansas graduate,
student or basketball fan, and
instantly becomes a vitally
important torch for Kansas
rich basketball heritage.

MOVIE REVIEW

Drake apologizes for
Rolling Stone blowup
Drake has apologized for railing
on Rolling Stone after the maga-
zine bumped him off the cover in
favor of Philip Seymour Hoffman.
He took to his website on Friday
to issue an open letter "to clear the
air about an extremely emotional
day."
"I completely support and agree
with Rolling Stone replacing me on
the cover with the legendary Phillip
Seymour Hoffman. He is one of the
most incredible actors of our time
and a man that deserves to be
immortalized by this publication,"
Drake wrote.
"My frustration stemmed from the
way it was executed. The circum-
stances at hand are completely
justiable (on the magazines be-
half), but I was not able to salvage
my story or my photos and that was
devastating."
He went on to write that had he
be given the choice, he would have
waited "until it was my time."
"I understand the magnitude
of the cover they chose but I just
wasn't given that option and that
made me feel violated. I apologize
to anybody who took my initial
comments out of context because
in no way would I ever want to of-
fend the Hoffman family or see my-
self as bigger than that moment,"
he continued.
The rapper-singer created a Twit-
ter restorm on Thursday when
he admonished the publication in
a series of tweets, some of which
were subsequently deleted, to his
more than 14 million Twitter fol-
lowers.
He vented over remarks on Kanye
West that he believed were off the
record and was peeved that he
lost the cover "last minute" after
the magazine replaced him with a
tribute to Hoffman, who died of an
apparent overdose on Feb. 2.
Drake went so far as to say that
he was "disgusted" by the publi-
cation and later added that he's
"done doing interviews for maga-
zines."
The rapper didn't further address
another issue he has with the mag-
azine that it used comments he
made over West's polarizing "Yee-
zus," saying he was ambivalent
about the album and criticizing
some of the album's lyrics.
"After dwelling on it for a few
hours or days you will come to
the conclusion that you brought it
on yourself almost every time," he
went on to write. "I respect Rolling
Stone for being willing to give a kid
from Toronto a shot at the cover.
I guess this is a day to learn and
grow."

If your Instagram doesnt get
11 likes or more, you should
probably take it down because
having anything less is embar-
rassing. If your tweet doesnt
get retweeted and favorited
more than fve times, it prob-
ably wasnt creative enough.
Make sure your Pinterest
boards only have the newest
fashion trends and choose a
profle picture on Facebook
that is you looking your abso-
lute best.
Although these rules arent
written in a bible of social me-
dia somewhere, social media is
shaping us to believe that the
amount of likes or favorites we
receive on a photo, tweet, Pin-
terest pin or Facebook post is
an indication of how well we
are liked as a person.
Although some believe that
social media brings us closer
together, research disagrees.
According to the book, Status
Update: Celebrity, Publicity,
and Branding in the Social
Media Age by Alice E. Mar-
wick, social sofware may in-
advertently promote inequal-
ity rather than countering it.
She states that metrics, such
as a number of likes on a pho-
to, egg on this inequality ide-
ology by making social status
something that can be quanti-
fed, qualifed and publicized.
By looking at what others post,
we begin to mold ourselves to
a new measurement of what
is considered normal and ac-
ceptable. We start thinking
about what others would like
to see us post instead of what
we want to post.
Tis constant want to please
and impress our social media
audience brings about a vari-
ety of anxieties.
According to the article,
Te Six Major Anxieties of
Social Media, by Maureen
OConnor, each social media
outlet rewards a diferent hu-
man behavior and gives rise
to a specifc inferiority com-
plex. For example, Instagram
gives users fear of missing out,
or FOMO, Twitter produces
the fear of looking dumb and
Pinterest triggers the fear of
domestic inequality. Alyssa
Mitchell, a sophomore from
Overland Park, says she thinks
people feel the most anxiety
when posting pictures on In-
stagram. Its a comparison
game, Mitchell said. If their
picture only gets three likes
versus someone elses post that
gets 13, its somehow inferior.
But, it isnt just the big names
of social media that provoke
these anxieties. Even Spotify
and LinkedIn cause their us-
ers to re-evaluate their public
presence. What happens if you
listen to the same song too
many times in a row? What if
my profle doesnt look profes-
sional enough?
Although these side-efect
anxieties of social media seem
to have a frm grasp on our so-
cial media presence, AJ Kim, a
junior from Lansing, believes
that social media and tech-
nology are still positive out-
lets and will continue to better
society in the future. I think
the impact that technology
will have in the future can be
used for the better, Kim said.
People posting more photos
of themselves will help get rid
of self-consciousness about
looks. For example, Snapchat.
I get more funny faced snap
chats than anything.
As the technology of our
world continues to grow and
improve, what we must un-
derstand are the positives and
negatives that come from so-
cial media. We are a society
that thrives of of our inter-
connectedness and our ability
to communicate in a matter of
seconds. Although there seems
to be no clear answer how to
rid yourself of these social
media anxieties, embrace your
social media audience and
post what you yourself deem
appropriate. Whether its 100
likes or one favorite, let social
media posts become just posts,
instead of material to judge.

NEW YORK On the walls
of Jimmy Fallon's ofce are
photos. Lots of photos. Of his
2007 marriage to flm produc-
er Nancy Juvonen. Of their
6-month-old daughter, Win-
nie. Of his mom and dad as
newlyweds. Fallon points them
all out to a visitor proudly.
But the dominant photo is
a portrait of Johnny Carson,
aglow in front of his "Tonight
Show" drapes.
Already Fallon is immersed
in this kind of fun. For fve
years he hosted NBC's "Late
Night," a job he relinquished
only days ago. And now he's
looking ahead to the Big Show,
"Te Tonight Show," where
Monday, at the special time
of midnight EST, he retrieves
Carson's mantle back in
New York afer 42 years in Los
Angeles.
"It's giant! It's a big TV mo-
ment!" says Fallon. "Even if it
wasn't me, I would tune in to
watch."
A Manhattan home base per-
fectly suits its new host, a con-
summate New Yorker, while
bringing it under the same
hallowed roof (NBC's Rocke-
feller Center headquarters)
as "Late Night" and "Saturday
Night Live," other jewels in the
crown of Lorne Michaels, its
new executive producer.
It also allows "Tonight" to
make a clean break from its
turbulent post-Carson era
under Jay Leno (and, feeting-
ly, Conan O'Brien), when the
Carson-bequeathed formula
of jokes, celebs and chitchat
was, too ofen, upstaged by
behind-the-scenes soap opera.
Leno was consistently the
late-night ratings winner, but
never won much respect from
the public, critics, or even his
own network, which twice sent
him packing from "Tonight."
Back in New York, where
both "Te Tonight Show" and
Carson as its host made their
start, this 60-year-old TV in-
stitution is poised to pick up
the legend from where it lan-
guished afer Carson's 1992
retirement.
Te show will even recom-
mission that sacred space
Studio 6B where Carson
reigned before his 1972 move
west.
"I wish Johnny Carson was
still around, so he could see
what we did with his studio,"
says Fallon. "I can't WAIT to
show everybody!"
But even as the 39-year-old
waxes eagerness about the
new "Tonight Show," he wants
everyone to know it won't re-
ally be so diferent, afer all: es-
sentially an hour-earlier "Late
Night With Jimmy Fallon,"
including its house band, the
Roots (though this eight-piece
ensemble will expand by two
horns), its announcer-side-
kick, Steve Higgins, and comic
bits like "Slow Jam the News"
and "Tank-you Notes."
Fallon frst became popular
during his six years on "Sat-
urday Night Live," where he
displayed a chameleonic range
of characters and imperson-
ations, plus a musicality that
grants him uncanny skill at
mimicking numerous record-
ing stars.
His key strength as host boils
down to his unfagging en-
gagement, says "Tonight Show"
producer Josh Lieb.
"He's got genuine empathy
for his guests and for the audi-
ence," he said. "He's trying to
give them the best of himself.

are 18 and older fear of
missing out (FOMO) may be
heightened by their growing
reliance on social networks.
Sixty-two percent of adults
who are currently a member
of more than one social net-
working site say they keep an
eye on their social networks
because they dont want to
miss something, such as news
or an important event or
status update.
SOCIAL MEDIA STATISTICS
Nearly 40 percent of people surveyed would rather do
any of the following than give up their social networking proles:
Wait in line at the DMV
Read War and Peace
Do their taxes
Give up an hour of sleep each night for a year
Run a marathon
Sit in trafc for four hours while listening to polka music
Get a root canal
Spend a night in jail
Clean the drains in the showers at the local gym
Give up their air conditioners and heaters
Millennials are even less likely to part with their beloved social net-
works: More than half (54 percent) of 18- to 34-year-old social media
users would undertake one of the undesirable activities before giving
up their social media profles.
According to a recent study released by non-prot
Anxiety UK, more than half of the social media users
polled said Facebook, Twitter and other networking sites
had changed their lives and 51 percent of those said
it's not been for the better.
Forty-ve percent of responders said they feel "worried or
uncomfortable" when email and Facebook are inaccessi-
ble, while 60 percent of respondents stated "they felt the
need to switch off" their phones and computers to secure
a full-edged break from technology.
Data also revealed that two-thirds of respondents had
difculty sleeping after using social media, and 25
percent admitted to difculties in relationships because
of "confrontational online" behavior.

WARROAD, Minn. As
T.J. Oshie was leading the U.S.
men's team to a dramatic 3-2
shootout win over Russia in
Sochi on Saturday, his tiny
Minnesota hometown was cel-
ebrating the Olympic success
of yet another of its hockey
players and wondering if he'd
be the latest to medal.
Warroad, a town of few-
er than 2,000 people that's 6
miles south of the Canadian
border, has the Midas touch:
No U.S. men's team has ever
won a gold medal without
having a Warroad player on its
roster.
"I think it's pretty amazing
that we're such a small town
and we get such big opportu-
nities," said Sarah Casperson,
16, a sophomore at Warroad
High School. "People here are
so talented."
Oshie, a 27-year-old forward
on the St. Louis Blues, is one
of two Warroad hockey play-
ers at the Olympics. Te other
is Gigi Marvin, a defenseman
on the U.S. women's team.
She was Oshie's high school
classmate and the prom queen
to his prom king in 2005, ac-
cording to the Belleville (Ill.)
News-Democrat.
Te tiny town is flled with
tributes to Oshie and Mar-
tin. Store windows are plas-
tered with posters wishing
the Olympians good luck, and
huge U.S. fags hang every-
where.
Casperson joked that chil-
dren in Warroad, which bills
itself as "Hockeytown USA,"
learn to skate before they can
walk. But there is some truth
to it.
"From the time kids are tiny
their parents have them in
skates," said Marnie Swedberg,
who owns a retail store in
town. "From the time they're
2 or 3, they've got them in the
rink."
Tere's a long history of
hockey greatness in this rural
outpost, where the cold win-
ters make for perfect ice-skat-
ing conditions. Of the town's
seven players who have played
in the Olympics, only Oshie,
who is competing in the tour-
nament for the frst time,
hasn't medaled.
Marvin, whose grandfather
Cal Marvin coached the U.S.
men's team in the 1960s, won
silver four years ago in Van-
couver. And Henry Boucha, an
Ojibwa Indian, won silver with
the U.S. team in 1972.
Ten there are the Christians.
Dave Christian played on the
Miracle on Ice team that beat
the Soviet Union in 1980 en
route to winning the gold
medal. His father, Bill Chris-
tian, and uncle, Roger Chris-
tian, helped the U.S. win gold
at the 1960 games and played
in the 1964 games in Inns-
bruck, Austria. Another uncle,
Gord Christian, took silver in
1956.
Whether Oshie can duplicate
his predecessors' success re-
mains to be seen, though his
four shootout goals on six at-
tempts at the end of Saturday's
preliminary round game have
put him in the spotlight.
University of North Dakota
hockey coach Dave Hakstol,
for whom Oshie played for
three years, remembered his
protege as an intense compet-
itor who had a knack for rising
to the occasion.
Te bigger the stage, the bet-
ter Oshie plays, Hakstol said.

Te Jayhawk sofball team
(4-4) made progress this week-
end in South Carolina, at the
College of Charleston Cougar
Classic, with a 3-2 record, im-
proving from last weeks 1-2
record.
It was a good weekend,
said coach Megan Smith. We
came here to get tested and we
did. I thought that we battled,
we fought and we learned a lot
about our team. Te freshmen
got to see top-level competi-
tion for fve games straight,
which was good because we
got to see how they respond-
ed.
Te frst game of the week-
end against Fordham Univer-
sity (5-3) was run ruled due
to the explosive ffh inning by
the Jayhawks. Fordham took a
quick lead in the frst inning
with a run from freshman Syd-
ney Canessa, but afer that it
was all Kansas. Jayhawk soph-
omore pitcher Kelsey Kessler
(2-2) allowed three hits with
six strikeouts. Major contrib-
utors to the Kansas win were
sophomore Chaley Brickey, ju-
nior Maddie Stein, senior Alex
Jones and Kessler. Brickey
counted for two of Kansas 10
runs while also having a RBI.
Stein connected on three of
her four hits, bringing in four
RBIs, while also having a run
of her own. Jones had two hits
and a RBI.
We were really excited
about what we saw ofensively
and defensively, said Smith.
Our lineup did extremely well
creating the opportunities and
making the most of the oppor-
tunities.
In the second game against
Ole Miss (4-5) it looked as if
the Jayhawks would carry their
momentum into the game
with the Rebels. It held true for
the frst two innings as Jones
and Brickey made easy work at
bat while Kessler was throwing
strikeouts. Ten, Ole Miss, in
the bottom of the third, started
making their comeback. Afer
the fourth inning, Ole Miss
was up 4-2 and Kansas had
stranded six runners. In the
sixth inning, Ole Miss scored
two more runs, while Kansas
stranded more runners. When
it was all said and done, Kansas
stranded 11 total runners in
the game and fell to the Rebels
6-2.
It would be nice if you
could bank some of those runs
and bring them back, but that
is not the way it works, said
Smith. We had opportunities
in the second game and lef a
lot of runners on.
Te following day, Kan-
sas took on Western Caroli-
na (0-4) and put their recent
loss behind them. Kansas ju-
nior pitcher Alicia Pille (1-1)
pitched a complete game shut-
out, winning 6-0. Pille had 10
strikeouts in seven innings and
posted her 16th career shutout.
Pille wasnt the only leader for
the Jayhawks. At bat, Stein had
three hits and two RBIs.
Maddie has been clutch
her whole career, Smith said.
She stepped up, was really
confdent and came through
for us. She is very steady she
is just calm and confdent all
the time. Tat is why she is so
clutch for us. She doesnt get
amped up and she is just con-
sistent with her approach.
Te next game of the day,
against College of Charleston
(2-4), wasnt as easy. Te Cou-
gars were coming of of wins
against Western Carolina and
DePaul. It took an extra in-
ning, but the Jayhawks fought
of Charlestons rally, winning
6-5. Kessler and Pille both
took the mound in the game,
but Pille walked away with
the win. Kessler recorded sev-
en strikeouts and Pille added
three. On ofense, Kansas had
13 total hits. Freshman Har-
li Ridling posted three hits,
leading the team. Jones, senior
Ashley Newman, freshman
Taylor Dodson and freshman
Lily Behrmann all recorded
two hits apiece.
Tats a big win for us, said
Smith. Its early in the sea-
son, but to get a win like that
on their home feld against a
really solid College of Charles-
ton team, thats a good win for
us. Especially the way it went
down, with us having to battle
and fght for it. We are young
and we are growing and we are
going to keep doing that all
season.
In the fnal game of the
weekend, Kansas faced De-
Paul (7-3). Kansas looked like
they were going to pull it of,
but DePaul scored in the ffh,
sixth and seventh innings to
come from behind and win
3-2. On the mound were Kes-
sler and Pille, with Pille taking
the loss.
Ofensively, we didnt exe-
cute, we couldnt move run-
ners and our defense let us
down, said Smith. We just
lost some focus there at the
end defensively.
Te Kansas Jayhawks will
be back in in action on Friday
when they travel to Jackson,
Miss., to play in the Jackson
State Tournament.

Shockers trump Aces with 84-68 victory
COLLEGE MENS BASKETBALL
EVANSVILLE, Ind. Ron
Baker scored 26 points and
Fred VanVleet fnished with
18 points, eight assists and fve
steals, leading No. 4 Wichita
State to an 84-68 victory Sun-
day at Evansville.
Te Shockers (27-0, 14-0
Missouri Valley Conference)
remained one of two perfect
teams in major college bas-
ketball and extended their
school-record winning streak.
Tey are the 21st team in Divi-
sion I history to go 27-0, a list
No. 1 Syracuse could join later
this week.
But getting No. 27 sure wasn't
easy.
D.J. Balentine and Egidi-
ju Mockevicius each scored
19 points, not quite enough
to prevent Evansville (11-
16, 4-10) from losing for the
fourth time in fve games.
Evansville spent most of the
second half trying to dig out of
a double-digit defcit and got
as close as 65-60 with about 6
minutes to play. But Wichita
State sealed it with a late 13-4
spurt.
Tings against Evansville
never have been simple for
the Shockers. Last season, the
Aces swept the season series
and two weeks ago, Evansville
took an early double-digit lead
in Omaha, Neb., before even-
tually losing by 14 points.
So Wichita State expected
nothing less than Evansville's
best efort Sunday, and that's
exactly what they got.
Afer spending the frst half
in pull-away mode only to get
repeatedly chased down by
the Aces, Wichita State fnally
looked as though it would f-
nally take control early in the
second half.
Tekele Cotton got things
started by hitting a 3-pointer
on the Shockers' frst posses-
sion. By the time Wichita's
11-3 run ended, with VanV-
leet's reverse layup, the 38-32
halfime lead had expanded
to 49-35 and the Purple Aces
were down to just two time-
outs.
Wichita State still had a sol-
id 55-41 lead with 14:04 to
play when the Aces made yet
another charger. Tis time,
Mockevicius scored the frst
eight points in a 10-2 spurt
that cut the defcit to 57-51
with 11:19 to play. But Cle-
anthony Early answered with
a 3 and an alley-oop dunk to
give the Shockers a 62-51 lead.

REBOUNDS ASSISTS POINTS
Ellis showed up on Saturday with his most
efcient game as a Jayhawk against TCU. The
sophomore scored a career-high 32 points
while grabbing eight rebounds. Thats two great
games in a row for the Kansas native. Just like
last season, Ellis is coming on strong with the
postseason nearing.
UNSUNG HERO
Traylor
Jamari Traylor, forward
Coming off his one game suspension, Traylor
wasted no time making up for his absence.
In 22 minutes off the bench Traylor scored
10 points on 5-6 shooting and grabbed eight
rebounds. Its clear that Traylor adds a boost
of energy when he enters the game, which will
keep happening more often than it doesnt.
GAME TO FORGET
Tharpe
Naadir Tharpe, guard
It wasnt that Tharpe had a terrible day, but
as his time on the oor was limited so was
his impact on the day. In only 20 minutes of
playing time Tharpe missed all three of his
eld goal attempts while notching four assists.
To his credit he took care of the ball well even
without ample time to nd his rhythm.

FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
Kansas guard Andrew Wiggins scores two points against TCU in the rst half. Wiggins contributed 17 points to the Kansas victory on Saturday, Feb. 15.
With 17 minutes lef in the
frst half, sophomore forward
Jamari Traylor entered the
game for senior center Tarik
Black. It was Traylors frst
appearance back from his
one-game suspension afer he
was benched for irresponsible
behavior.
Te motivation to prove
he could bounce back from
his suspension showed in
the TCU game, but not right
away.
In the second half I thought
[Traylor] and Perry [Ellis],
when they were in there
together, they were without
question our best performers
inside, coach Bill Self said.
Without freshmen cen-
ter Joel Embiid, who was
scratched from the lineup
because of lingering back and
knee injuries, the Jayhawks
were looking for someone
to step into Embiids shoes.
Traylors performance against
TCU was needed for Kansas
to play well without Embiid,
and the 95-65 victory showed
that Traylor could help the
Jayhawks succeed on both
ends of the foor.
Traylors energy and hustle
plays were his highlights for
the game.
In the frst half, Traylor
played 11 minutes compared
to Blacks two minutes. Traylor
only scored two points on
1-1 from the feld and three
rebounds in the frst half, but
the hustle plays in the second
half made a diference.
He gave us energy, fre, de-
fense, blocked shots and hus-
tle, freshman guard Wayne
Selden, Jr. said. We all have
that, we just didnt display it
on Monday and Mari usually
gets us going.
At the 12-minute mark in
the second half, a ball trickled
out of bounds on the TCU
side of the court and Traylor
dove into the crowd to save
the ball. Te ball landed in
the Horned Frogs possession,
but at the end of the posses-
sion Traylor came up with
the defensive rebound. Afer
that, Traylors rebounding and
scoring opened up.
With less than six minutes
lef in the second half, Traylor
blew by TCUs junior forward
Amric Fields for a right-hand-
ed slam. Te following
defensive possession, Traylor
hustled out to the perimeter
and contested a TCU 3-point-
er. TCUs freshmen forward
Brandon Parish missed the
shot and Traylor grabbed the
defensive rebound too.
Traylors block was a hustle
play within its own realm. He
slid over to help sophomore
forward Perry Ellis in the
post and elevated over Ellis to
block the layup.
Traylor fnished the game
with 10 points and eight
rebounds in 22 minutes.
Te guy who was supposed
to play the majority of min-
utes for Embiid was Black,
who played only eight minutes
because of foul trouble. Blacks
one shining moment came
when he was on the receiving
end of an alley-oop by fresh-
man guard Andrew Wiggins.
Tarik looked like Tarik to
start the season, Self said.
Te frst two fouls we had
were totally irrelevant with the
play. I dont know how he can
make those plays and it totally
took him out.
Even though Self said that
Embiid will play on Tuesday
in Lubbock, Texas, against
Texas Tech, Traylor will still
see a lot of playing time with
the hustle and energy he adds
to the team.

WHERE THE TRUE HAWKS NEST
Free Cable
It was a familiar feeling for
the women's basketball team
following their 72-69 loss to
Iowa State. Afer appearing
to take a step forward in their
home defeat of TCU earli-
er in the week, the Jayhawks
regressed during a lackluster
second half in Ames, Iowa.
It was the inconsistency
that's plagued the Jayhawks
(12-14, 5-9 Big 12) through-
out the season that again hurt
them they were clearly out-
played afer a stellar frst half
performance. Te Cyclones
(17-7, 6-7 Big 12) hit 18 of
their 21 free throw attempts
in the second half on the way
to securing their comeback
victory.
In likely one of their most
impressive single-half show-
ings of the season, the Jay-
hawks shot nearly 57 percent
on their way to 40 points pri-
or to the halfime buzzer. Se-
nior guard CeCe Harper led
the way, notching 10 points
and four assists to move into
10th all-time among the Jay-
hawks single season assists
leaders.
But the Cyclones were able
to remain close behind the
the play of senior forward
Hallie Christoferson. Kansas
junior forward Chelsea Gard-
ner was unable to contain
Christoferson in the post as
the Naismith Award candi-
date scored 18 points on 7-11
shooting. She was a threat
from everywhere on the foor,
adding two 3-pointers as Iowa
State ended the half down by
only seven.
As has been the case much
of the season, the Jayhawks
struggled to maintain their
lead through the second half.
Te Cyclones pulled even
with 13:00 remaining, their
frst lead in over 18 minutes,
before the two teams began
trading blows. Tere would
be nine ties and four lead
changes in the second half
alone.
Te superb shooting that
carried the Jayhawks through
the frst half was nowhere to
be found afer intermission;
they shot only 35.5 percent.
Te Jayhawks couldn't create
open looks and Gardner was
once again limited due to foul
trouble. She was forced to the
bench following her fourth
personal foul with just over
seven minutes remaining.
In Gardner's absence, junior
guard Natalie Knight was
big for Kansas, registering
her frst and only points of
the night on a 3-pointer that
tied the game at 62 with just
over four minutes remaining.
Just as the Cyclones appeared
to be putting a run togeth-
er, Knight's 3-pointer stole
the lead and momentum for
them.
But the Jayhawks were un-
able to do much with that mo-
mentum. Down by one with
only 15 seconds lef, Harper
committed a costly turnover
that led to two Christoferson
free throws. She converted
both and Kansas' last second
3-point attempt came up
short to seal its defeat.
With the Jayhawks in des-
perate need of a strong run
to receive an invite to the
NCAA tournament, Satur-
day's loss was one they simply
couldn't aford. It more-or-
less cements their place in
the bottom third of the Big
12 and likely makes a con-
ference tournament win the
only means by which Kansas
can advance to the big dance.
Te Jayhawks have a week-
long break before their next
game against Oklahoma in
Norman, Okla.

WOMENS BASKETBALL TRACK AND FIELD
KYLE PAPPAS
sports@kansan.com
Stif competition can have
difering efects on athletes.
For some, being on the same
feld, court, or track with the
best of the best may be intimi-
dating. Te amount of pressure
that comes with taking on the
elite can sometimes disrupt an
athletes focus or break their
confdence. But, for athletes
like runner Brendan Soucie,
this kind of pressure can ele-
vate performance.
Soucie, a senior from
Osawatomie, felt that pressure
during his 800-meter race in
Ames, Iowa, at the ISU Clas-
sic last Saturday. Soucie ran
against a feld that produced
six of the current top-20 times
in the nation. To say he faced
a tough competition would
be an understatement. But,
instead of letting this intimi-
date him, Soucie let the pres-
sure fuel him. He recorded a
personal best of 1:51.31 in the
800 meters, which not only
gave him 16th place overall
in the stacked feld, but it was
the fastest indoor 800-meter
time ran by a Jayhawk in seven
years.
With competition like that,
you have to run up to their
level [because] there are not
a whole lot of them running
down to yours, Soucie said.
Soucies time also puts him in
third place in the Big 12 with
the conference championships
just two weeks away. Accord-
ing to Soucie, this will provide
a good mental lif entering the
conference meet.
Being able to get into a race
like that before conference
[championships] is a great
confdence booster because I
was racing some of the fastest
guys out there, Soucie said.
While Soucie and a portion
of the Jayhawk track team
were racing in Ames, other
Kansas athletes were making
their marks in Fayetteville,
Ark., for the Tyson Invitation-
al. Among these athletes was
Rhavean King, a sophomore
from Memphis, Tenn., who,
much like Soucie, also posted
a personal best in the 800 me-
ters.
King fnished the race with
a mark of 2:10.85, giving her
14th place and etching her
into the Jayhawk record books
as the seventh fastest woman
in indoor 800 meters histo-
ry. But King was not done
following her 800-meter race
on Friday, as she was back in
action the next day anchoring
the 4x400-meter relay team.
Te quartet of King, fresh-
man Whitney Adams from
St. Charles, Mo., senior Dia-
mond Dixon from Houston,
and freshman Adriana Newell
from Sparks, Nev., recorded a
3:41.18, the teams fastest time
of the season, which led to a
15th place fnish.
Besides helping the
4x400-meter relay team to a
season mark, Dixon also had
a good weekend individually,
setting a season best mark in
the 400 meters and a career
best mark in the 200 meters.
Her times of 53.25 in the 400
meters and 23.61 in the 200
meters gave her ninth-place
and seventh-place fnishes
respectively, putting her in
the top-15 nationally for both
events.
Caleb Cowling, a fresh-
man from Lincoln, Neb., was
among the 13 Kansas ath-
letes who recorded personal
records at the two-day meet
in Fayetteville, leaping a ca-
reer-long 7.39 meters (243)
in the long jump. Te mark,
which gave him third place at
the meet, sets the freshman
up well for his frst conference
championship as it moved him
up to ffh place in the Big 12
long jump standings.
Te Jayhawks will now pre-
pare for the Big 12 Indoor
Championships, which kick
of in Ames on Friday, Feb.
28, and wrap up on Saturday,
March 1. Tere will be a lot
on the line for the Jayhawks as
the womens team will enter as
the defending team champion.
Two individual athletes will be
defending Big 12 indoor titles
as well, with junior Lindsay
Vollmer, from Hamilton, Mo.,
and Dixon defending champi-
onships in the pentathlon and
400 meters respectively.

home what proved to be the
winning run.
Ive been working on my
swing constantly, Hernandez
said. I took to the cage every
day and it really paid of this
weekend.
Kahana stuck around just
long enough to record the
win, while senior closer Jor-
dan Pich fnished the game
with his frst save of the sea-
son. Pich threw two scoreless
innings, striking out three and
walking one.
Kahana has a rock solid ef-
fort, Price said. And Jordan
was outstanding. He controls
whether we win or lose.
Junior Connor McKay was
the hero in the Jayhawks
opening game of the season on
Friday. McKay was responsible
for tying the game in the ffh
inning with a two-run home
run and giving the Jayhawks
the lead and starting a six-run
rally. McKay fnished the game
going 2-4 with four RBIs.
Te game showed that we
can come back from anything,
Hernandez said. We came to-
gether as a team and we built a
lot of character.
Junior starting pitcher Wes
Benjamin got the nod for
Kansas in the frst game of the
season. Benjamin struggled at
times, but overall had a strong
frst outing, going seven in-
nings, allowing four runs on
six hits and striking out four.
Wes grinded, Price said.
He got in and out of trouble
and fought to give us seven
strong innings.
Benjamin was buoyed by his
ofense, as the Jayhawks were
able to mount a comeback and
win the game by a tally of 10-4.
Pich fnished the game out in
a non-save situation, pitching
two innings and allowing only
two baserunners.
A 3-0 start to the season is
exactly what the Jayhawks
were hoping for going into
the weekend. Te team was
solid on every aspect of the
feld. Te starting pitching was
strong, the defense was crisp
and the bats were alive, while
Jordan Pich lived up to his
reputation as Big 12 Newcom-
er of the Year. If Kansas can
carry this momentum, then a
ninth-place fnish in the Big
12 is certainly not in the Jay-
hawks future.
We got contributions from
everyone this weekend, Price
said. We have to come and
compete every game. We know
we had a great club last year
and [the Kansas preseason Big
12 ranking] just shows that we
play in one of the best confer-
ences in the country.

T
he numbers are in: Te Sochi
Olympics viewership ratings
are historically low, and it may
go down as the least watched Olym-
pics in recent memory. Only the 2006
Turin Winter Olympics compares with
this years paltry viewership.
It's not surprising to anybody who's
attempted to sit through strings of
uninteresting events that lack compel-
ling fgures or story-lines. Te Winter
Olympics tend to lack the hype of the
Summer games, but this year's edition
is simply boring.
Te main storyline going into the
Olympics the political sniping
between USA and Russia was
tiresome before the opening ceremo-
nies even began. Russia feared "black
widow" bombers marring its Sochi
legacy, but instead it's on pace to being
one of the least interesting Olympics
in recent memory.
It took until one week before the
closing ceremony that the Sochi
Olympics fnally had its frst classic
moment.
It wasn't until American hockey
player TJ Oshie slid the puck between
the legs of the Russian goalkeeper to
win an overtime shootout on Saturday
night, with Russian president Vladimir
Putin in attendance, that viewers had
reason to feel the type of excitement,
anticipation and heartbreak that we
expect from the Olympics, the type
of feeling that's sorely lacking in this
edition of the Olympic games.
You know, the anticipation of seeing
Olympic history each time
Phelps jumped into the pool
in Britain's 2012 Olympics.
Te feeling of awe when
Shaun White seemed sus-
pended in the air while com-
pleting a Double McTwist
1260 on his victory-lap
run in the 2010 Vancouver
games.
A week later, viewers
witnessed the Team USA
hockey thrashing of Team
Canada, earning its frst
victory against our northern neigh-
bors in 50 years. Or the heartbreak
seven days later in the gold medal
match when the Canadians scored the
game-winner in overtime, crushing
the out-matched Americans' hopes of
winning gold.
Perhaps Sochi will deliver these
types of moments in its fnal week, but
there's nothing from the frst ten days
that would signal such an occurrence.
Blame
NBC for
not giving
its audience
reasons to
care about
these athletes
and events we'd
normally ignore,
or the athletes for
a lack of intriguing
displays. Heck,
blame Bob Costas'
pink-eye.
It doesn't really
matter.
Nothing will change the indiference
American viewers hold toward this
year's Olympics until we're given a
reason to. So far, this year's Olympics
hasn't supplied us with many.

COMMENTARY
Ellis skill leads
Kansas to victory
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
sports
S
One out, tie game, bottom
of the tenth, runners in scor-
ing position. Every baseball
player grew up dreaming of
this. Tese are the situations
that separate the clutch play-
ers from the good players,
and senior outfelder Tucker
Tarp is clutch.
Tarp connected with a
walk-of RBI single in the sec-
ond game of a doubleheader
against Brigham Young Univ-
eristy Saturday, capping of an
impressive 4-9, three-RBI day.
Te whole game was crazy,
Tarp said. It was the typical
back-and-forth college game.
I tried to stay in and put a
good swing on the ball and hit
it hard somewhere. It felt real-
ly great to get the game-win-
ner. It was a lot of fun for the
team early in the season.
Kansas went into the 10th
inning trailing to the Cougars
by one run. Afer a drag-bunt
single from junior third base-
man Tommy Mirabelli, the
Jayhawks proceeded to load
the bases. Junior infelder
Aaron Hernandez drove Mi-
rabelli in to tie the game with
a sacrifce fy. Tarp was the
next batter up, driving home
the winning run.
Te Jayhawks had an amaz-
ing ofensive game in the
nightcap, recording 17 hits
and scoring 10 out of 11 runs
with two outs.
I was most impressed with
our ofense, coach Ritch
Price said. All nine guys got a
base hit, and 10 two-out runs
is almost unheard of in the
game of baseball.
Tucker Tarp was not the
only Jayhawk to have an im-
pressive day at the dish. Her-
nandez and junior outfelder
Michael Suiter recorded three
RBIs while Mirabelli and ju-
nior frst baseman Blair Beck
scored two runs. Beck also
posted a 4-5 game with 14
putouts at frst.
Kansas won another close
game in the opening game
of the doubleheader. Junior
pitcher Robert Kahana kept
Kansas in the game with a
very strong pitching perfor-
mance. Kahana went seven
strong, striking out four bat-
ters while only allowing fve
hits and two walks. Kahana
was dueling BYUs Kolton
Mahoney the whole way.
Te weather felt great on
my arm, Kahana said. I was
very happy with my perfor-
mance. It was my frst Satur-
day start of the season and it
lived up to the hype.
Mahoney took a no-hitter
into the seventh inning, until
the Jayhawks were fnally able
to break through. Hernan-
dez scorched a bases-loaded
single up the middle to drive
Jayhawks push past Cougars in weekend series

BASKETBALL REWIND
PAGE 10 Ellis scores career-high 32 points
Te 32 points are the most
scored by a Kansas player this
season and the most since Ben
McLemore scored 36 points
against West Virginia last
March.
Tis is probably the best
ofensive game that Perry has
had, as far as most complete,
coach Bill Self said. He did a
lot of diferent things.
Showcasing his full ofen-
sive arsenal, Ellis made two
3-pointers and a series of mid-
range shots along with his
usual dunks and lay-ins as he
took advantage of gaps in the
Horned Frogs zone defense.
He put the ball in the hoop
whenever we gave it to him,
freshman guard Wayne Selden
Jr. said of Ellis, who also re-
corded team-highs of eight
rebounds and fve assists. He
really produced for us today.
Ellis led an efcient Kansas
ofense that shot a season-high
61.5 percent from the foor.
Te ofense was able to mask a
sluggish defensive frst half for
the Jayhawks as the worst of-
fensive team in the Big 12 was
able to blitz Kansas for 56.5
percent shooting in the period.
Led by 21 points from junior
guard Kyan Anderson, TCU
scored 40 points and made
almost twice as many trips to
the free throw line as Kansas
in the frst half. Trailing 22-16
with 12 minutes remaining in
the frst half, Kansas ended the
half on a 31-18 run to regain
control and take a seven-point
lead into halfime.
Self s halfime message was
a simple one: Maybe this half
we can try a little harder.
With a defensive focus, the
Jayhawks held TCU to 33 per-
cent shooting and forced nine
turnovers in the second half.
Kansas made a slight adjust-
ment on Anderson as the Jay-
hawks held the Horned Frogs
leading scorer to only four
points and one feld goal afer
halfime.
We knew we werent playing
how we should have been play-
ing, Selden said.
Feeding of of its revived de-
fense, the Jayhawks ofense
got of to a blazing start and
went on a 23-5 run to open
the second half. Te spurt in-
cluded a span of three Kansas
alley-oops in three minutes
as Kansas gained a 25 point
advantage with 12 minutes re-
maining.
Te Horned Frogs ofense
couldnt keep up and only
made one feld goal during the
stretch. In fact, Ellis 10 points
doubled the fve points TCU
earned as a team during the
Kansas run.
Weve got to pick our poison
when dealing with them, TCU
coach Trent Johnson said. For
us, Ellis is a bad match-up.
Afer lighting up the Horned
Frogs for a then-career high of
27 points in Fort Worth, Tex-
as, freshman guard Andrew
Wiggins ended with 17 points
on 7-for-11 shooting. Despite
scoring a season-low two
points against Kansas State on
Monday, Selden responded for
15 points and three steals.
Labeled by Self as the teams
most consistent scorer, Ellis is
in the midst of his best play
all season afer averaging 25.5
points and 9.5 rebounds in two
games this week. Ellis and the
Jayhawks head down to Lub-
bock, Texas, on Tuesday to face
an improved Texas Tech squad.
Im just trying to go out
there and play my best, Ellis
said. Tats all I can do.

T
hey chanted Perry Ellis
name twice on Saturday.
Te frst came afer
he knocked down a 3-pointer
from the corner late in the sec-
ond half. Oddly enough, it was
the sort of shot that Ellis rarely
takes. Against Texas Christian
University, it was the sort of
shot that Ellis wouldnt miss.
Te chorus struck up shortly
before the ball had fallen
completely through the net,
yet it had sunk far enough to
celebrate two things: Ellis scor-
ing a career-high 30 points,
and no chance for a TCU
comeback.
Even the stoic sophomore
took a second to relish the mo-
ment, nearly cracking a smile
while hugging his teammates
and taking a glance around the
building.
Te fans started chanting
again two free throws later,
as Ellis walked of the foor
with 32 points, eight rebounds
and fve assists. Kansas coach
Bill Self pulled his regulars
with two and a half minutes
remaining, not that it made
things easier for the Horned
Frogs.
No. 7 Kansas defeated TCU
95-65. In large part, be-
cause Ellis demeanor never
changed.
We knew we werent playing
how we should be playing,
Wayne Selden Jr. said of the
frst half.
Quite the surprising state-
ment given the fnal score,
but this was also a game in
which Kansas trailed for seven
minutes during frst half.
Of course, Ellis was playing
how he shouldve been. Tat
much rarely changes.
He had only missed two feld
goals in the frst frame, so
when Selden says the Jayhawks
needed to step it up, Ellis took
that upon himself, too.
He didnt miss a shot the rest
of the way.
Nobody had a game like
Perry, Self said.
Even as his teammates
gloated over his performance,
Ellis just sat there, almost
uncomfortable as the Jayhawks
recounted his fawless plays.
All Ellis could muster was a
half smile and an explanation.
I wasnt taking rushed
shots, Ellis said. I was taking
most shots in rhythm.
With respect to Ellis, it takes
a little more than that.
It takes the type of position-
ing and hustle that allowed El-
lis to take advantage of TCUs
zone. And it takes a type of
vision, precision and patience
to operate inside of it.
When Ellis had an open look
in the second half, he tossed
up a lob to Andrew Wiggins
instead. Trading a high per-
centage shot for a higher one.
I would do the same for
him, Wiggins said.
Maybe so, but it wouldnt
have seemed as efortless as
the way Ellis played.
Without taking more than
three trips to the free throw
line to infate his numbers, El-
lis quietly put away every pass
that was fed to him and every
rebound he could grab.
No chest pounding, loud
roars or even signals for the
crowd to get louder.
Pass. Post up. Score.
Te crowd did the celebrat-
ing for Ellis. Any other way
just wouldnt be his style.
Hes still our most consistent
scorer, Self said. Hes going
to get his in some way, shape
or form.
