BROOK BARNES/KANSAN
Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Joel Embiid announces he will enter the 2014 NBA draft at a press conference in Allen Fieldhouse on Wednesday. Embiid is the second Kansas freshman to enter the draft this season.
A CHOICE OF CONSCIENCE
Stay or NBA: Joel Embiid declares for draft, guaranteed top five pick
BLAKE SCHUSTER
sports@kansan.com
Moments afer Joel Embiid
declared for the NBA draf,
Kansas coach Bill Self took
a minute to explain the
circumstances.
He wanted to come back,
Self said. If college was paying
him fve million a year, and the
NBA was paying fve million a
year, theres no question what
he wouldve done.
So Embiid made what Self
called the safe play, not that
the other side didnt weigh on
him.
It took weeks of Embiid
gathering information: talking
to his family, his coaches and
his mentor, Luc Richard Mbah
a Moute an NBA veteran
and fellow Cameroon native
before deciding.
It took days of fans begging
Embiid to stay on Twitter
and even more time with
the teammates he would
be leaving behind until his
thoughts clicked.
It took a phone call from
Embiids idol, NBA legend
Hakeem Olajuwon, to help
the freshman come to a
conclusion. Although, that
might not really have helped.
Embiid said he was so excited
to talk to Olajuwon he doesnt
even remember what they
talked about.
Really, it took the reality
of Embiids development as
a player and what the NBA
could do for him.
By last Sunday, the decision
was made, whether or not
there was a better option.
At this rate he improved
over a short period of time, just
think about what you could be
at a year from now, Self said.
Te whole thing is a top fve
pick is guaranteed. What if
something bad happens next
year?
If something happened next
year, it wouldnt weigh on
Self s conscious. A week afer
seeing Andrew Wiggins of
to the NBA draf, Self put on
the same wholesome smile for
Embiid and wished him well.
And Embiid did his best
to give his Kansas legacy the
closure it needed.
I really love this place,
Embiid said. Te fans are
crazy. It means a lot. Teyve
showed me nothing but love.
Ill miss this place.
During the season, this
wasnt a day Embiid allowed
himself to think about. While
the hype and rumors grew,
Embiid stayed focused.
Its what allowed him to go
from a back up, to a starter, to
an invaluable asset, fnishing
the season with 11 points, 8
rebounds and 2.6 blocks per
game.
I want to be remembered
as a guy who gave everything
while playing, Embiid said. I
just wanted to win.
But once the season was
over, Embiid worried about
something else. He worried
about the fans, and the
teammates and the town he
called home for the past year.
He worried he was letting
everyone down if he lef.
We told him all along if
he leaves that wont make us
mad, Self said. You need
to feel good about whatever
decision you make. Dont look
back.
Despite what Self called
a feeling of incompleteness
surrounding Embiids career
at Kansas, there was no more
time to change it.
Te fnancial opportunity is
too great.

CAMPUS
Big Event expected to draw 3,000 volunteers
BRENDAN OFARRELL
news@kansan.com
Te fourth annual Big Event
this Saturday is shaping up to
be the biggest yet with 3,000
KU volunteers and 370 job
sites.
Its our way of saying
thank you to the citizens of
Lawrence, said Alex Null,
a 2013 graduate from Altus,
Okla., who helped organize
the program.
Students will meet at the
Ambler Student Recreation
Center parking lot at 8:30 a.m.
for registration. Volunteer
activities will run from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m., although some jobs
might be completed earlier.
Tough the ofcial deadline
to sign up for the event was
March 2, those who missed the
deadline can still call 785-864-
7469 to register.
Michael Garrett, executive
director of the Big Event
and a junior from Lenexa,
said volunteers who have
participated in past years
should notice improvements,
particularly in how student
groups are paired with job
sites. Tis year, student groups
have been matched more
efectively to the diferent job
sites based on the number
of volunteers each job site
requires. Te work will include
spring cleaning, raking leaves,
painting, yard work and
repairs to private homes, non-
proft businesses, schools and
churches.
Its already the biggest
community service day in
Lawrence, and I hope its an
event that students and the
Lawrence community look
forward to each year, Garrett
said.
Last years event drew
2,800 volunteers and 350
community sites, Garrett said.
Te Big Event was started
at Texas A&M as a way for
students to show gratitude to
the community. Currently,
there are 68 participating
universities.

debating tobacco-free campus

Students who use tobacco
may need to fnd somewhere
else to smoke, dip or chew in
coming years, because of a
new initiative that is looking
to make the University a
tobaccao-free campus.
A small gathering of
University students and
faculty met in the Kansas
Room of the Kansas Union
yesterday to meet with the
representatives of the KU
Tobacco-Free Campus
Initiative, and discuss the
potential for developing a
cultural change to eliminate
the use of tobacco on campus.
According to a survey
conducted by the Initiative
in Spring 2013, 59 percent
of faculty and staf, and 64
percent of students were in
favor of a stricter tobacco
policy on campus.
Its not a new concept in
higher ed. to be engaged in
this process, but we want to
do it in a very comprehensive,
inclusive way as a change
process, not just throw out
a policy, said Ola Faucher,
the Universitys Human
Resources director, during the
forum. We want to engage
people, talk with a lot of
people, fnd out what the
issues are, what the ideas
are, and do it in a way
that represents a cultural
change, and take into
account all of the issues
that come up.
Ty Patterson, the
executive director of
the National Center
for Tobacco Policy,
said the decision and
implementation of a
campus tobacco ban
requires all people involved
to use critical thinking to
evaluate the decision.
Regardless of where you
are, there is a lot more that
you can learn about tobacco
that will help you think
about this process perhaps
a little diferently, Patterson
said during the open forum
discussion.
Tose in attendance raised
their questions and concerns
about the ways that a policy
change would afect students
who live on campus, and the
enforcement of the policy
and penalization of violators.
Tey also shared some of
the ways that their personal
health is currently afected by
the presence of second-hand
smoke on campus.
Patterson also presented
a statistic that 10 percent of
personal ailments in the world
are made worse by second-
hand smoke, and, according to
a Center for Disease Control
report, second-hand smoke
afects pregnant women and
their children, ranging from
asthma attacks to sudden
infant death syndrome. Te
report also states the second-
hand smoke leads to heart
disease, stroke and lung
cancer in adults.
Emma Halling, the student
body vice president, said that
the policy would afect some
students more than it would
afect others.
I understand that the
alleged benefts are going to be
widely publicized, but for me
in my position its really
important to air concerns that
may otherwise not be brought
to the foor, Halling said.
For me, that is the fact that
students who live on campus
are going to have to change
their behavior more than
students who live of campus.
Halling also voiced her
concerns over the efectiveness
of producing a culture change
on campus. She added that
a growing international
population at the University
might fnd it harder to adapt
to a tobacco-free environment
on campus, due to the
diferent ways many cultures
view cigarette smoking.

THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 2014 PAGE 3A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Te Panhellenic Council
president received Student
Senate support last week on
a resolution that outlined the
measures of the Collegiate
Housing and Infrastructure
Act. U.S. House Bill 1449
would permit tax-exempt
donations to infrastructure
improvements in non-
university owned, nonproft
student housing entities, such
as fraternities, sororities, KU
Hillel and Chabad Center for
Jewish Life.
PHC President Maggie
Young, a junior from Olathe
and member of Chi Omega,
will join 102 fraternity and
sorority members from
across the nation as part of
the Fraternal Governmental
Relations Coalition to lobby
the bill in Washington, D.C.,
at the end of April.
For me, its about bettering
somebodys life anywhere at
some point down the line and
making their housing more
afordable, Young said.
Te expected result of the
bill would be an increase
of donations to nonproft
student housing because
donors tend to favor tax-
exempt opportunities.
Additional funding would
cover necessary infrastructure
improvements such as leaky
roofs, fre alarm installations
and other repairs, which could
lessen the extra payments
students normally make.
If there is a fraternity or
sorority on campus that
doesnt have strong alumni
ties but needs a sprinkler
system or other things fxed,
that would be great for them
to get the necessary money for
that, said Eric Hurtt, Student
Senate government relations
director and not a voting
senator. I just dont know
how bad the conditions are.
During Youngs freshman
and sophomore years, she said
birds few into her bedroom
through holes in the ceiling
and roof. Erin McHale,
a graduate student and
member of the Association of
Fraternity/Sorority Advisors,
said the bill is about improving
the things that sustain chapter
houses and maintain a safe
living environment.
Its the disparity in the tax
code that makes housing
improvements expensive,
especially at the University
of Kansas, where a lot of the
buildings are going on 100
years old and they need some
updates, McHale said.
Eighteen percent of
undergraduates at the
University belong to a
fraternity or sorority, and
those living in Greek housing
would be positively afected
by the act, Young said.
Even though the bill has
a 4 percent chance of being
enacted, Young fully supports
it regardless. She said she
wants to do whatever she
can to improve the living
situations in Greek housing.
Student governments from
University of Cincinnati,
University of Illinois and
Binghamton University have
also supported resolutions
that support the measures of
the bill.

5K raises funds for special needs kids
Te KU chapter of Hannah
and Friends will host the frst
annual Finish on the 50 5K
this Sunday, April 13. Te race
will run through campus and
fnish in Memorial Stadium at
the 50-yard line.
Hannah and Jayhawk
Friends is an organization
that works to bring attention
and compassion to children
with disabilities. Hannah
and Friends was originally
started by Charlie Weis
and his wife Maura when
Weis was a coach at Notre
Dame. Te inspiration for
the organization comes from
Weis 19-year-old daughter,
Hannah, who is a special
needs child. When Weis came
to the University he wanted to
continue the organization but
make it unique to this school,
so he named it Hannah and
Jayhawk Friends.
Te money raised from
the race will provide funding
that will allow Hannah and
Jayhawk Friends to put on
more events next year to
continue to bring attention
to this cause. Tis year the
organization put on several
dances for children at
Cottonwood Incorporated,
hosted events with Natural
Ties and put on a Special
Olympics football clinic with
the University football team.
Hannah and Jayhawk
Friends works frequently with
Cottonwood Incorporated,
a not-for-proft organization
that provides services for
people with developmental
disabilities.
Te main goal of Hannah
and Jayhawk Friends is to raise
compassion and awareness
in the Lawrence and Topeka
communities for people living
with disabilities, said Katie
Grifths, the vice-president of
the organization.
Hannah and Jayhawk
Friends is a young
organization on campus
but has already seen much
success.
We are really excited about
the outcomes of the events we
have put on this year, said
Corbin Barnds, president
of the organization. And as
we continue to grow we will
be able to host bigger events
to reach even more of the
Lawrence community.
Once football season is over,
Weis and his team become
very involved with the
organization.
It is amazing to see how
involved everyone on the
football team and staf is in
this organization, Barnds
said. Te athletes genuinely
care about the organization
and are invested in seeing
it change the lives of the
participants.
Runners and volunteers
are still needed for the race
on Sunday. Links to sign
up can be found on the
Hannah and Jayhawk Friends
Facebook page or on Twitter
via @jayhawks4hannah.
Registration for the race will
start at 8 a.m. at Memorial
Stadium. Te race will begin
at 9 a.m.

Just smile, take their yer, and

FFA HONORABLE MENTION
FFA OF THE DAY
JAKE KAUFMANN/KANSAN
S
pring is upon us. Te
fowers are blooming,
temperatures are
rising and babies are
abundant. Being informed
on the behaviors of our
animal friends during
the spring is more than
just enthralling, but truly
necessary for the safety of
the new additions to the
world.
Spring brings two
familiar baby animals:
birds and bunnies. When
you see a baby animal,
your frst instinct may be
to rescue it. However,
you may be putting the
animal in a worse situation
than it was in prior to your
interference.
Ive taken information
from fowcharts from
Shannon K. Jacobs
Healers of the Wild:
People Who Care for
Injured and Orphaned
Wildlife, which are posted
on the National Wildlife
Rehabilitators Association
website.
If you fnd a baby bird,
and it isnt sick or hurt,
the mode of action that
you take depends on the
developmental stage of the
bird. If it does not have
feathers, it is a nestling
and needs help. Either put
it back in the nest if you
can fnd it (no, the birds
mother cannot smell you
and will not abandon its
baby) or create a substitute
nest. Watch the nest and
see if a parent is visiting
and feeding the baby. If the
baby bird has feathers, it
is a fedgling and should
be lef alone unless it is
directly in danger of cats or
dogs, in which case you can
put it in the bushes or tree.
If you have found a baby
bunny, check to see if the
nest has been damaged.
If so, create a nest using
a shallow depression and
grass, making sure to hide
the babies with some grass
because the mothers only
come back at dawn and
dusk. Bunnies that have
their eyes open and can
hop do not need help.
Its sad when people bring
these baby animals into
the nature center because
it ofen results in a lost life.
I completely understand
that some circumstances
are appropriate for
intervention. However,
intervening without
adequate knowledge is
irresponsible and cruel.
Dont let their cuteness
fool you. Raising baby
animals is ofen a heart-
wrenching process because
it is extremely unlikely for
them to survive without
their mothers. If you are
ever unsure of how to help
a baby animal, call the
nature center and explain
the situation and they will
give advice on how to act
responsibly.
Educating yourself on
the correct procedure for
helping animals is crucial
and will be applicable as
long as we share this earth
with the bunnies and birds.

E
very year, Student
Senate elections come
and go, sweeping new
ideas and fresh faces to power.
However, one aspect remains
constant throughout every
election cycle a general lack
of student awareness. Despite
Student Senates tremendous
impact on the everyday life
of students, stunningly few
choose to get involved or even
vote. Knowledge of Senate is
similarly scarce, with many
students entirely unaware of
the senators that represent
them. In order for Student
Senate to fully represent
the interests of the student
body, it must work to combat
this stifing lack of public
awareness.
According to the Student
Senate Elections Commission,
last years election garnered
a 25 percent voter turnout.
Tis humble fgure actually
represents a landmark
improvement over the year
before it, which attracted a
mere 8 percent voter turnout.
Te fact that 75 (or 92)
percent of student voices go
unheard during the formation
of a new Senate body cannot
be allowed to stand.
Te problem does not
rest with the signifcance
of the organization. With
student fees weighing in at
a whopping $24 million,
according to KU Info,
Student Senates power is
undeniable. Tey allocate
funds to the schools myriad
clubs and organizations, they
run the schools invaluable
bus network, and they
serve as the most efective
way for students to shape
the University they invest
themselves in. Rather, the
question of students political
disengagement may be traced
back to one source: simply not
being taught about Student
Senate.
Potential solutions to this
problem are simple and far-
reaching in application. An
email detailing campaign
terms and procedures
could be sent out to the
student body at the start
of the election season,
ensuring that students are
informed on the coming
campaign. Tis principle
could even be expanded
into a monthly newsletter
in which Student Senate
conveyed its accomplishments
and activities to students.
Additionally, a brief
explanation of Senate
campaigns and their
importance could also be
included at orientation each
year. Tis would provide
new students with a quick
overview of how to become
engaged with campus politics.
Action must be taken to
combat such high levels
of political ignorance and
inaction. A possible place
to start is by educating the
student body on how Senate
works and how it is elected.
Only through increased
visibility and participation
can Student Senate truly fulfll
its stated role as the student
voice within University
Governance.

Action flms are Hollywoods
standby, but the Indonesian
martial arts epic Te Raid 2
makes American blockbusters
look like childs play in
comparison. A sequel to 2012s
groundbreaking Te Raid:
Redemption, this flm takes
action flmmaking to the next
level. As far as pure action
thrills go, Te Raid 2 has
some of the best.
I could quantify it by the
sheer number of times I
audibly shouted or gasped in
the theater, or by the creativity
of the action sequences, or
simply by the intense brutality
of the fghting that nothing else
can measure up to. But Ill start
with the story, because thats
the most radical improvement
over its predecessor.
Te frst Raid followed
rookie SWAT member Rama
(Iko Uwais) and his team
as they raided a drug lords
criminal-infested building,
only to be quickly discovered
and have to fght for survival.
A solid but minimalist story
that made for an unfettered
adrenaline shot to the heart,
built upon the dynamic
martial arts style, silat.
Te Raid 2 crafs a two-
and-a-half hour crime
thriller that throws Rama
undercover into a sprawling
criminal underworld, full
of memorable characters,
glorious violence and a story
that takes its time building
investment, waiting till the
second half to go non-stop
with the action. Interestingly
enough, the crime world
and its inhabitants feel equal
parts of western and eastern
infuence, making them more
enjoyable than most American
or Asian depictions.
Wiping the narrative slate
of the frst movie clean, Rama
starts his cover in prison,
where he begins by taking on
a horde of inmates, alone, in a
small bathroom. Not long afer,
a jaw-dropping brawl erupts in
the muddy prison courtyard,
setting a style for the flm of
swooping, close, long takes
that follow the action clearly,
without shakey-cam or tons of
quick cuts. He earns the trust
of hothead Uco (Arifn Putra)
here, who recruits him into his
fathers crime family upon his
release.
As the criminal underworld
is explored, Rama fades
into more of an observer
role for a while, letting us
take stake in Ucos thirst for
more power from his father,
rising gang leader Bejo (Alex
Abbad) trying to disrupt the
underworld balance to take
control, and ties of police
corruption. Some distinctly
badass assassins also come
into play, such as the deaf
girl who claws and smashes
her way through a subway
train using two hammers,
and the baseball bat-wielder
who smacks his metal bat into
goons with the agility of a Jedi
twirling his lightsaber.
All these martial artists
move with such incredible
speed and force that you
immediately tense up and your
eyes widen with awe, while the
aggressively energized score
enhances the efect. Once
the fghting starts, youre on
the edge of your seat until
everyone has been taken
down.
Writer/director Gareth
Evans lets the punches roar
and the pain leave a nasty
mark, with phenomenal stunts
and almost no computer
efects. He paces everything
perfectly, flms it with brilliant
immersion and writes the
story with the right amount
of genre indulgence and real
character. And whether a guy
just gets his leg slammed in a
door, his body pummeled or
his face burned to a crisp on a
grill, you really feel it.
Rama comes front and
center again when the gang
war goes too far and he has to
escape one of the more frantic
car chases of the past decade,
full of fghting inside a van,
bullets whizzing by and rough
crashes. For the fnale he goes
on an unstoppable rampage
against countless enemies
in a compound bruised,
bloodied and beaten but with
a fre in his eyes to defeat all
those in his way, including a
relentless hand-to-hand-and-
knife fght for the ages with the
top assassin.
Forget Bond, Bourne,
superheroes and other action
stars. Te scrawny Rama is
a real one-man army with
the coolest moves around,
a determined, on-edge
performance from Uwais
bringing him believability
and depth, and starring in an
action flm with the power to
blow away perceptions of what
the genre can accomplish the
way the original Matrix did.

MORTAR & PESTLE IS NOT CLOSING!
Tis week, we sat down
with Nona Golledge, KU
Dining Director, to discuss
the misperceptions about the
closing of Mortar & Pestle
Caf (M&P) on West Campus.
Lets cut right to the chase.
Is the M&P closing?
No! Te M& P is committed
to serving our partners on
West Campus, but we do need
to streamline the service.
Streamlined service.
What does that mean?
We will close the grill portion
and move the remaining
operations to the cofee
shop, where we can ofer
many M&P favorites with
stafng geared to sales levels.
But why the changes?
Unfortunately, economic
realities make it difcult to
maintain our current ofer-
ings. Since M&Ps opening
in 2010, the population
on West Campus has not
reached the point to sustain
the current operation. Even
with elimination of the
grill, KU Dining Services
will incur fnancial losses.
But dont you receive student
fees to subsidize the M&P?
No, Dining does not receive
student fees or state funding.
We are a not-for-proft
organization ofering dining
services to the KU campus-
es. All income from sales
is dedicated to supporting
retail dining on campus.
So what will the New M& P
ofer with the grill closed?
Well continue to carry
hot items. We will ofer a
rotating menu of hot entrees
as well as Panini sand-
wiches, hot soup and the
popular dillas of the day.
Well also ofer the complete
line of Roasterie cofee and
specialty beverages as well as
breakfast pastries, gourmet
salads and sandwiches.
What else do we need to
know about the changes?
As the landscape of the KU
campus changes, KU Dining
Services changes too. We will
watch for continued growth
on West Campus so we can
expand the oferings at M&P
to best serve our guests.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
AMCs Mad Men begins
a two-part nal season
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
AMCs Mad Men returns
at 10 p.m. EDT Sunday for the
beginning of its swan song:
Te frst seven episodes of
season seven start airing this
month (AMC calls it Te
Beginning), and the fnal
seven episodes (aka Te
End) will air in 2015.
When viewers last saw Don
Draper (Jon Hamm), he was
taking a forced break from
his job atop ad agency SC&P
afer a season of marked
absenteeism. Don also came
clean to his colleagues and
family about his past as Dick
Whitman.
Te new season begins in
January 1969 around the
time of Richard Nixons frst
presidential inauguration.
Teres a new occupant in
Dons old ofce, and the tone
at SC&P is tense. Even usually
calm, calibrated Ken Cosgrove
(Aaron Staton) yells a lot,
although that might have more
to do with wearing an eye
patch afer last seasons injury
(theres a great gag related to
his vision impairment).
Roger (John Slattery) gets
invited to lunch with his newly
blissed-out daughter. And
Joan (Christina Hendricks)
receives a new work challenge.
Peggy Olson (Elisabeth
Moss) takes a watch-
commercial pitch from
washed-up freelancer Freddy
Rumsen (Joel Murray), and
its surprisingly artful, which
Peggy doesnt hesitate to note.
Teres a nice way to say that
and theres the way you just
said it, a perturbed Freddy
replies just as he announces
his plan to get another cup
of cofee before he leaves her
ofce.
You really put the free in
freelancer, dont you? Peggy
teases.
Its one of the few lighter
moments in this frst hour
of the new season, which is
generally a pretty morose
afair, particularly its downer
ending. Has Don really hit
rock bottom _ hes damaged
goods, as another character
suggests _ or does he have
further to fall?
Executive producer Matthew
Weiner, who wrote Sundays
season premiere (directed
by executive producer Scott
Hornbacher), said the theme
for the shows fnal season is
consequences and whether
change is possible.
When your needs are met,
you start thinking about other
things, Weiner said in a recent
teleconference with reporters.
For Don we saw real growth
over the last season from what
are the material concerns
of your life to what are the
immaterial concerns of your
life, and thats really what the
ending of the show is about.
Weiner has always been
scrupulous about protecting
any spoilers in Mad Men
stories, especially afer the
show became a cultural
phenomenon. Sometimes he
even asks critics not to reveal
what year a new season is set
in (that was not on the list of
verboten spoilers this time).
He said the desire for secrecy
grew out of his experience as a
writer on Te Sopranos.
I think about how much
fun it was before this whole
machinery of spoilers was
in operation, when you
were going to sit down and
have no idea what is going
to happen, and thats even
more important for our show
because the plots are not told
in extremes, he said. Teyre
happening on a very human
scale. Don forgetting to pick
Sally up at school is a big story
point. I love to surprise, and
I love the fact that we have a
unique position commercially
as being something you just
dont know whats going to
happen when you sit down
to watch. I watch trailers for
movies, and knowing the
entire story in the movie is
disappointing for me.
So while Weiner is loath to
tease much of the new season
beyond a very general theme,
hes happy to refect on the
characters journeys so far.
One thing viewers can count
on: Limited happiness.
Drama is made out of
confict, he said. Peoples
lives being good is never
good drama. So were always
looking for more problems for
these people.

Imagine Dragons, Lorde
lead award nominations
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Imagine Dragons, Lorde,
Justin Timberlake, Katy
Perry, Macklemore & Ryan
Lewis and Miley Cyrus lead
the nominations for the 2014
Billboard Music Awards.
Atop the pack of nominees,
which were unveiled
Wednesday morning, are
Las Vegas rockers Imagine
Dragons and 17-year-old
New Zealand pop prodigy
Lorde, who both scored 12
nods.
Imagine Dragons and
Lorde dominated radio last
year with inescapable hits.
Te quintets Grammy-
winning smash Radioactive
made Billboard history in
February afer spending a
record-breaking 77 weeks on
the trade publications Hot
100 chart and Lordes biting,
yet ubiquitous, hit Royals
nabbed her the honor of
being the youngest artist
to win song of the year at
the Grammys. Te two will
square of in nine categories,
including Hot 100 artist,
digital song, radio songs
artist, top rock artist and rock
album.
Lorde is also up for
new artist against Capital
Cities, Ariana Grande and
Passenger.
Timberlake scored 11
nods, including top artist
and Billboard 200 album for
his comeback opus, Te
20/20 Experience (the two-
part album even competes
with itself in the R&B album
category).
Perry is up for 10, including
top artist, top female and
Hot 100 artist, and breakout
Seattle hip-hop duo
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
are in the running for eight
trophies.
Cyrus, whose transition
from Disney princess to
urban pop provocateur has
yet to pay of with any actual
awards, could see her luck
reversed on the Billboard
stage. Te headline-grabber
is up for nine, including top
artist, top female, Hot 100
artist and Top Streaming
artist.
Finalists for Billboards
Milestone award, which
was launched last year to
honor musical ingenuity
and innovation (Justin
Bieber won the inaugural
fan-voted award to mostly
jeers) are Imagine Dragons,
John Legend, Luke Bryan,
OneRepublic, Ellie Goulding
and Carrie Underwood. Te
six fnalists will be whittled
down to three and fans
logging their votes online can
also enter a contest to present
the honor alongside Kelly
Rowland during the telecast.
Other notable nominees
include Beyonce, whose
surprise album is up for
a slew of honors, Pharrell
Williams, Robin Ticke, Luke
Bryan and Eminem.
Te 2014 Billboard Music
Awards will air live (except
on the West Coast) from the
MGM Grand Garden Arena
in Las Vegas on May 18 at 8
p.m. EDT on ABC.

HBO renews Game of
Thrones after record
fourth season premiere
Its not a surprise, but still good
to hear: HBO has picked up Game
of Thrones for two additional
years.
The lavish and brutal fantasy
series returned to a record audi-
ence for its fourth season premiere
Sunday night, drawing 6.6 million
viewers. That was up more than
50 percent from the shows third
season premiere. The shows com-
bined three showings on Sunday
drew a gross audience of 8.2 mil-
lion. It was also the most-watched
HBO program since the nale of
The Sopranos in 2007.
HBO had been renewing the
series one season at a time, but
clearly with an audience like this,
it knows the crowds arent going
away anytime soon. Michael Lom-
bardo, president, HBO Program-
ming, said in a statement: Game
of Thrones is a phenomenon like
no other. David Benioff and D.B.
Weiss, along with their talented
collaborators, continue to surpass
themselves, and we look forward to
more of their dazzling storytelling.
The two new seasons will be
the fth and sixth and will tackle
events in the fourth and fth books
in author George R.R. Martins se-
ries A Song of Ice and Fire. The
series, set in the ctional Seven
Kingdoms of Westeros, is loosely
inspired by the real life Wars of
the Roses in 15th century England.
We say loosely, because the British
crown never had to deal with drag-
ons and ice zombies.
A Feast for Crows and A Dance
With Dragons are notable in the
series for following different sets
of characters in the same time
frame. While the shows producers,
Benioff and Weiss, have not said
how they will handle the events of
those books on screen, its likely
the character stories will be recon-
gured to keep all the characters
(at least those still alive) in every
season.
Meanwhile, fans eagerly await
word on when Martin will nish
the sixth book in the series, The
Winds of Winter. The TV series
adapted from his books is steadily
bearing down on the writer, who
has been very tight-lipped about
his progress on the story and when
he anticipates its publication.

Film festival shows complexity of human condition
Te African Film Festival,
happening Tursday through
Saturday at a diferent
campus location each day, is
a collection of 18 flms from
all around the world each
about human perspective and
condition. While not all of the
flms were flmed in Africa,
they all relate to the continent.
Te flms express the
human condition in one
way or another, said Daniel
Atkinson, assistant director
of the Kansas African Studies
Center. Atkinson also helped
coordinate the event.
Tere are flms made in
China, Bolivia, Argentina,
the U.S. and many other
countries, each expressing a
variety of perspectives. Te
flms range in length, from 13
minutes to 90 minutes, and
cover a variety of topics, such
as music, religion, culture and
sports.
Tey express varying
points of viewthe things
we are trying to address are
inter tribal, political, gender
issues as well, Atkinson said.
Teyre from a wide range of
perspectives which is what we
are trying to go for.
One flm, Just to Let You
Know Im Alive, shares the
testimonies and history of
Sahrawi women who were
subject to violence in Sahrawi
refugee camps in Algeria. Tis
flm is 59 minutes and will
show Friday at 5 p.m. in the
Spencer Museum Auditorium
Mugabi Byenkya, a senior
from Kampala, Uganda, is
a member of the African
Students Association.
Byenkya will be attending the
African Film Festival because
he believes the African
narrative is underrepresented
in American society.
I like learning about new
places and new ways of
thinking about things which
stepping into another culture
always does, Byenkya said.
Also, attending the festival
will, in a sense, take me back
home for a bit.
Te flm festival is intended
to open the eyes of students
in the Lawrence community
to put a seed of critical
thought in peoples mind,
Atkinson said.
It gives students cause to
pause, to think a little more
about their fellow human
beings, people who they may
not normally come across or
even interact with, Atkinson
said.
Te flms show that we share
more similarities than we do
diferences. Te diferences
we see are fctional diferences
of class, race and gender
and these diferences create
barriers, says Atkinson.
Atkinson added that, there
is at least one movie that he
thinks people will be touched
by. He also says to come with
an open mind and to have a
good time.
Tis is the third year the
African Film Festival has
been shown at the University.
Te flm festival is a free event
for the Lawrence community
and will be shown in Wescoe
on Tursday, in the Spencer
Museum Auditorium on
Friday and in the Kansas
Union on Saturday. For a
list of flms playing and a
complete schedule of times
and locations, visit afs.ku.edu.

When graduate student
Alex Erwin found out she had
received a National Science
Foundation Fellowship, she
tried not to get her hopes
too high as she went through
denial, excitement and fnally
acceptance.
Tere were some thoughts
like oh this has to be a mistake,
so I sent my adviser an email
and it wasnt. And then I
mostly just danced around my
kitchen, Erwin said.
In early April, the NSF
announced Fellowship
recipients, which included six
KU students: Stephen Baca,
Jeremy Ims, Kevin Song, Jason
Stevens, William VanSkike
and Erwin. Tese students
will receive a yearly stipend to
conduct research. Erwin was
one of 29 in the country to get
a fellowship for genetics.
She received the award for
her proposal to study the
efects of changes in genes that
are inherited outside of DNA,
during the aging process of
cells that always replicate and
pass on DNA.
I think she will be able to
craf a very unique project
that isnt just driven by genetic
analysis, but is motivated
by theory of aging, said
Justin Blumenstiel, Erwins
faculty advisor and assistant
professor.
Erwins study would
also focus on whether the
disturbance in the changes
afect future generations,
using fruit fies. She hopes
that this research will be used
to answer questions like why
there is aging.
Obviously everyone hopes
to fnd something novel,
Erwin said. But either way,
whether the result is positive
or it ends up being negative, it
is still going to be informative
to the general question.
Blumenstiel has strong hopes
for Erwins research because of
her dedication to pushing the
envelope and her innovative
approach.
Shes here before I am every
day, Blumenstiel said. Tis is
something that came from her
and I think its really exciting.
Epigenetics frst interested
Erwin as an undergrad,
when she was doing research
for a lab at Missouri State
University in her hometown
of Springfeld, Mo. She was
fascinated by how her love for
science and linguistics could
be partnered in the study of
genetics.
She developed her proposal
idea as a frst-year graduate
and applied for the NSF
Fellowship then, but was
turned down. Now she is
looking forward to spending
most of her time researching
and doing community
outreach.
Its really rewarding to go
out and talk to students who
are interested in science and
do various activities with
the community, so Im really
excited that now I will have
more time to participate in
outreach events, Erwin said.
Erwins research will start
in June and she is looking
forward to the opportunities
that the Fellowship will ofer
her, especially spending
more time doing outreach to
students who are interested
in science. Her advice to these
students is to not be too proud
to ask questions.
You fnd that even
professors that you think so
highly of are willing to ask
questions and they dont know
everything in their feld, so
defnitely dont be afraid of
asking questions because it
will beneft you, Erwin said.

Graduate student receives prestigious fellowship
It gives students cause to pause, to think a little more

about their fellow human beings, people who they may not
normally come across or even interact with.

Tis Friday, the St. Lawrence
Institute for Faith and Culture
will be sponsoring Te Genius
of Women, a variety show
dedicated to women around
the world, at 7:30 p.m. in the
Kansas Room at the Union.
Te St. Lawrence Center
began producing the show in
2009 afer a graduate student
brought it to campus from the
University of St. Louis. Te title
is based on Pope John Paul IIs
1995 Letter to Women.
Te purpose of the show
is to celebrate the gifs that
women have and the dignity
they have and to celebrate what
it is to be a woman, said Sarah
Ekis, a senior from Overland
Park. We are trying to raise
awareness to the fact that
women have dignity and gifs
to ofer society as a whole.
Ekis is this years production
team leader. Tough she has
seen the show before, this is her
frst year holding a leadership
position.
[Before,] I really enjoyed
the variety. I am not really a
musical person but I love seeing
the gifs others have, Ekis said.
Kayla Jacques, a senior from
Ellis, is one of those talents.
I have been performing
since I was very young, said
Jacques, who also sings for
the KU Choir. She will be
performing the song Oceans
by the band Hillsong. I really
liked the message of the song,
and my accompanist knew how
to play it.
Both Ekis and Jacques agree
that the entire Genius of
Women process has been a
fast-paced one. Auditions were
just a week ago. Te frst time
[my accompanist and I] ran
through the song was when we
auditioned, Jacques said.
Besides singing, Te
Genius of Women showcases
pianists and guitarists and
even poetry reading. Some of
the performers created their
pieces themselves. I think
its wonderful to have this
originality, Ekis said.
An art auction is also part
of the program. Te money
earned from the auction will
be used to construct a shelter
for abused children and young
mothers in the Diocese of
Malindi in Kenya.
Te fact that [the show] is
rooted in a good cause is the
beneft that comes with it,
Jacques said.
Te Genius of Women is
open to all members of the
Lawrence community.
Te International Student
Association is hosting its annual
International Awareness Week
to spread cultural awareness on
the Universitys campus and in
the Lawrence Community. Te
week began with a World Expo
in the Kansas Ballroom on
Monday, and will be fnishing
up next Monday with a FIFA
tournament co-hosted with
Student Union Activities.
Te events are bringing
to light the University and
Lawrences rich cultural
diversity, and, according to
one international student, aim
to remove some of the stigmas
and incorrect perceptions that
American students may have
toward international students.
I think its important
for that [International]
community to reach out at
Kansas because of the stigmas
involving international people
sometimes, said Jose Aldana,
a freshman from Santa Cruz,
Bolivia and member of ISAs
cultural team.
Aldana recalled an instance
in a classroom where a fellow
classmate voiced her ignorance
about electricity in Bolivia.
And that really stuck to me,
for people to be thinking those
things. So its important to
[erase] those stigmas, and also
for them to know more about
the culture outside of the U.S.
Te Expo, Cultural Trivia and
an International Food Court in
front of the Kansas Union are
some of the other events that
have already taken place this
week.
It was pretty cool. We did it
from 12 to 4, and it was pretty
much non-stop action from
the minute that we started
setting up until people started
leaving at 4, International
Student Associations public
relations coordinator Dustin
Wolfe said about the World
Expo. We had people dancing
on the stage in the ballroom,
doing international dances. We
had music going, some people
played instruments. We had
lots of videos going at each
table.
More events are planned for
the rest of the week including
a Tea at Tree event today,
and the 62nd annual Festival
of Nations in the Woodruf
Auditorium Friday from 6 to 8
p.m. followed by an ISA party
at Te Cave, located at 1200
Oread Ave.
Lavesh Mirpuri said that this
week is the biggest week of
the year for ISA. According to
him, this week is the biggest
multicultural event that ISA
puts on, but requires student
involvement and participation
at each of the events.
Our goal is to promote
cultural diversity, and to create
awareness within the KU
community about diferent
cultures, Mirpuri said. We
try to promote interactions
between diferent students
from diferent backgrounds,
diferent parts of the world,
and just like our slogan says
we try to bring the world to
KU.
ISAs big event, the Festival
of Nations, is on Friday night
in the Woodruf Auditorium.
However, the ISA will also be
participating in Te Big Event
on campus Saturday.
We wanted to give back to
the community, Mirpuri said.
We receive international
students receive so much
support from the Lawrence
community, and from students
here, [as well as] local students
in the U.S., and its a good
time for us to give back to the
community in Lawrence that
has treated us so well in these
years, and just try to do some
community service and help
some people out.

CRIME
20 hurt in Pa. high
school stabbing spree
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MURRYSVILLE, Pa.
Flailing away with two knives,
a 16-year-old boy with a
blank expression stabbed
and slashed 19 students
and a police ofcer in the
crowded halls of his suburban
Pittsburgh high school
Wednesday before an assistant
principal tackled him.
At least fve students were
critically wounded.
Te rampage set of a
screaming stampede, lef
blood on the foor and walls,
and brought teachers rushing
to help the victims.
Te motive is under
investigation.
Police didnt immediately
release the name of the
suspect, who was taken into
custody and treated for a
minor hand wound.
Te attack unfolded just
minutes before the start
of classes at 1,200-student
Franklin Regional High
School, in an upper-middle-
class area 15 miles east of
Pittsburgh. It was over in a
matter of minutes.
Witnesses said the boy with
the knives at frst tackled a
freshman and stabbed him in
the belly, then got up and ran
wildly down the hall, slashing
other students.
Nate Moore, 15, said he saw
the frst attack and was going
to try to break it up when the
boy got up and slashed his
face.
It was really fast. It felt
like he hit me with a wet rag
because I felt the blood splash
on my face. It spurted up on
my forehead, he said.
Te attacker had the same
expression on his face that he
has every day, which was the
freakiest part, Moore said.
He wasnt saying anything.
He didnt have any anger on
his face. It was just a blank
expression.
Doctors said they expect all
the victims to survive, despite
large and deep abdominal
puncture wounds in some
cases. Te wounded police
ofcer who was regularly
assigned to the campus was
treated and released.
Authorities credited an
assistant principal with
subduing the assailant.
Students identifed the
educator as Sam King and told
local news organizations that
they saw him tackle the boy
afer the youngster stabbed the
campus ofcer.
Public safety and school
ofcials said an emergency
plan worked as well as could
be expected.
We havent lost a life and I
think thats what we have to
keep in mind, said county
public safety spokesman Dan
Stevens.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Emergency responders gather at the high school campus of the Franklin Regional High School, where several
people were stabbed on Wednesday in Murrysville, Pa., near Pittsburgh. The suspect, a male student, was taken
into custody and questioned.
Graduate students hours
cut, health care to stay
Te University responded
last week to a petition from
graduate students asking that
their on-campus work hours
not be reduced to help comply
with health care reform. Te
issue originated in March
with a rumor that an email
that circulated among the
University administration
proposing that the number
of weekly hours students can
work on campus be reduced
from 30 to 20.
In a separate email from
the University Ofce of
the Provost to graduate
students, Vice Provost for
Administration and Finance
Diane Goddard issued a
statement saying they were
working to create more
opportunities for the students
to have their input heard on
the subject, such as forums
and focus groups. Goddard
also thanked the students for
the nearly 450 signatures last
month in the email.
Pantaleon Florez, the
graduate afairs director
for Student Senate and a
masters student in the School
of Education, helped lead
the charge on the issue and
drafed the petition along
with graduate students in the
English department. He said
hes been satisfed with the
way the administration has
handled the issue thus far.
Im really proud of the
administration for creating a
system at the University where
students can actually have a
certain level of involvement
that can be impactful, for
hearing our concerns, taking
them seriously and trying to
get us involved so everyone
benefts going forward,
Florez said.
Te proposed 20 hour
policy would be a way for the
University to comply with
the new law that requires
employers to provide health
insurance for employees who
work 30 or more hours per
week.
Te response from the
Ofce of the Provost also
indicated that graduate
students would still be ofered
health insurance even if their
hours were to be reduced.
Undergraduate students
wouldnt be afected by the
policy.
But for some graduate
students like Florez, the issue
is not just about health care, its
about take-home pay. Florez
said he cleared the poverty
line by $500 in 2013 working
30 hours a week. While
graduate students having
health insurance is a positive
step, the fundamental issue
still hasnt been addressed, he
said.
Were halfway to where
we want to be right now, so
Im happy with the response,
but its not over, Florez said.
We need to commit to
conversations, we need to
make sure that were going to
be able to keep those hours or
that there will be some other
options, like increasing hourly
wages, that can increase our
standard of living.
Angela Murphy, a Ph.D.
student in the English
department from Springfeld,
Mo., works two jobs for
the University, as do many
other graduate students.
Tey would have to give up
one of them in accordance
with a new policy. Murphy
works 20 hours per week as a
graduate teaching assistant in
the English department and
works 10 extra hours at the
Kenneth Spencer Research
Library, as well.
Its really important for
people to know that weve
been crunching a lot of the
numbers and thats been a lot
of the focus, but one part of
the picture that hasnt been
foregrounded as much to
the public is that we do love
our second jobs and we love
having the opportunity to
diversify our experience,
Murphy said.
Following the response from
the University, Murphy said
she doesnt expect the issue
to fall to the wayside going
forward, and that she hopes
to take advantage of any
opportunity to have her voice
heard.
Te University said in the
email sent out that they are
interested in having an open
dialogue and having forums
and focus groups and all that,
she said. So I plan to be in
attendance at all the events
they have, because if theyre
interested in an open dialogue,
Im interested in engaging.

oel Embiid walked out of Jayhawk Tow-
ers at 1:31 p.m. as an amateur athlete.
His black Kansas polo, sandals and
multi-colored socks wouldnt be on for much
longer. He briefy waited to cross the street at
Irving Hill Road and took a long look at the
Burge Union as he walked into its parking
lot.
None of his fellow students bothered him.
He was alone.
As he approached the Wagnon Athletic
Center to enter Allen Fieldhouse, Embiid
sang along with music playing out of his
phone. His arms swung back and forth.
Soon Embiid traipsed down a few stairs
and through the entrance, swapped out his
black polo for a blue Kansas shirt, ditched
his sandals for black-and-white Adidas
sneakers and did what many fgured inevita-
ble following his incredible freshman season:
declared for the NBA Draf. He walked out
of his dorm a 20-year-old kid and returned a
millionaire.
One week earlier Andrew Wiggins declared
in the same room. Tis was diferent. Embiid
has lived in the United States for only four
years. He recently tweeted about learning
how to drive. He isnt just new to basketball.
Hes new to the culture that demands its phe-
noms succeed immediately and the requisite
pressure therein.
Under almost all circumstances, this
would be the obvious move to make, Kansas
coach Bill Self said. Hes still so young in the
sport.
Wiggins declaration was a date that
couldve been marked on calendars before
the season started. Embiids seemed destined
for 2015 or beyond. All of this the press
conference, the talk of being the No. 1 overall
pick, the anticipation of his decision
would have shocked anybody, even Embiid,
half a year ago.
Which made his ascent to the top of draf
boards so much fun. Embiid arrived in Law-
rence a 7-foot project with crazy highlight
videos and a shadow. Two other freshmen,
Wiggins and Wayne Selden Jr., were to be
the one-and-done players. Embiid was to
develop.
And develop he did. During the Jayhawks
preseason media day in October, Embiid
wowed the media by casually shooting jump
shots and 3-pointers. A month later, with his
father in attendance from Cameroon, Embi-
id scored 16 points and grabbed 13 rebounds
against Iona of the bench.
We talked about (Jef) Withey improving
and Cole Aldrich improving, Self said. Aint
nobodys improved more than this kid.
Dont you remember? It wasnt that long
ago Embiid didnt even start for Kansas. He
was too young. He didnt have enough expe-
rience. He needed more time.
Ten there was the 67-61 Florida loss,
his frst start. In the next game against
New Mexico, the inevitable became visible.
Embiids dream to be great shook the Jay-
hawks past the Lobos, scoring 18 points. He
dropped 17 on Georgetown a week later.
He showed of a little bit against New
Mexico and Georgetown, Self said. We
knew hed be really, really good, but we didnt
know how long it would take for him to be
really, really good.
Soon there would be the draf talk and the
goggles, the pumped-up double-pistol fring
and the urban legend that he once killed a
lion. Like Embiid, it seemed too great of a
story to be true. Only he was. Te biggest
thrill in a disappointing season unquestion-
ably was Embiids evolution in such little
time. Projects are supposed to take more
than a few months, and Embiid couldnt fully
grasp how in many scouts eyes he surpassed
even Wiggins on their draf boards.
During the season, he said, I really didnt
think about it.
When Embiid committed, Jayhawker
Towers was expected to be his multi-year
home. When he walked out of his dorm at
1:31 p.m. on Wednesday, he knew there was
no turning back.
Hell no longer take that three-minute walk
from his dorm to Allen Fieldhouse, strolling
slowly across the Burge Union parking lot
singing to himself and swinging his arms.
Tis walk was diferent. It was the path Joel
Embiid took from Kansas Jayhawk to NBA
lottery pick. Te entrance at Wagnon has two
doors. Te one through which Embiid strode
is like a speakeasy there for in-the-know
student-athletes. Above the second one
hangs a sign. It says: VISITORS ONLY.

1. THE DREAM SHAKE
Relatively quiet in his frst
nine games, Embiid exploded
onto the scene against New
Mexico at the Sprint Center
in an 80-63 Kansas victory
on Dec. 14. Up against a
formidable frontcourt duo in
New Mexico forwards Alex
Kirk and Cameron Bairstow,
Embiid fnished with 18 points,
six rebounds, four blocks and
three steals, highlighting his
abilities on both ends of the
foor. He was ultra-efcient,
making fve of six feld goals
and eight of 10 free throws.
Said by many to resemble
NBA Hall-of-Famer Hakeem
Olajuwon, Embiid showcased
one of Olajuwons trademark
moves in this game, the Dream
Shake he completed a series
of fakes and spins to shake
loose of Kirk and convert on
a wide-open layup. Embiid
caught the nations attention
afer this game and would
soon be projected by multiple
experts as the number one pick
in the upcoming NBA Draf.
2. FRESHMAN BLOCKS RECORD
With his frst block of the
game against Texas on Feb. 22
at Allen Fieldhouse, Embiid
broke Eric Chenowiths Kansas
freshman record of 62 blocks in
a season, a record that stood for
16 years. Embiid fnished with
six blocks on the night, fve of
them coming in a dominating
frst half that saw Kansas take
a 28-point lead into halfime.
He ended with 13 points and
seven rebounds, eclipsing
the 200-rebound mark for
the season just the ffh
freshman at Kansas to do so.
Arguably his best dunk of the
season came in the frst half,
receiving a Naadir Tarpe pass
on a fast break and throwing
down a monster dunk to push
the Kansas lead to 22. Te
Jayhawks would go on to win
85-54 over the second-place
Longhorns and increased their
Big 12 lead to three games.
3. NEAR TRIPLE-DOUBLE
Taking advantage of a smaller
Oklahoma State team, Embiid
had 13 points, 11 rebounds
and a season-high eight blocks
in an 80-78 win over the No.
9 Cowboys on Jan. 18 at Allen
Fieldhouse. With Oklahoma
State mounting a comeback
afer halfime, Embiid scored
nine points and blocked
fve shots in the second half
alone to keep the game in the
Jayhawks control. He helped
make up for struggling Perry
Ellis, who fnished with just six
points. Te eight blocks set a
single-game Kansas freshman
record.
4. BIG SECOND HALF
ON BIG MONDAY
Embiid had his most
dominating three-minute
stretch of the season in the
second half at Iowa State on
Jan. 13. Te 7-footer had eight
points, two rebounds and a
block over a three-minute
span, helping Kansas regain
a double-digit lead and pull
out a 77-70 win over the No. 8
Cyclones. He did an admirable
job of guarding crafy Iowa
State forward Georges Niang,
who fnished with 11 points
shooting 4-for-20 from the
foor and 0-for-9 from three-
point range. Embiid tallied 16
points, nine rebounds and fve
blocks on the evening.
5. RETURN AGAINST
THE RED RAIDERS
In a slump at the time, Embiid
was averaging 7.5 points in
the last four games and sat
out against Texas Christian
University on Feb. 15. He
broke out of that slump in a
big way against Texas Tech in
Lubbock, scoring 18 points and
hauling down eight rebounds
in a narrow victory over the
Red Raiders on Feb. 18. With
the Jayhawks down one and
30 seconds to go in the game,
Embiid got a huge rebound
afer an Andrew Wiggins miss
and dunked it back in to give
Kansas the lead. In a game
where starters Perry Ellis,
Naadir Tarpe and Wayne
Selden Jr. struggled, Embiids
big night helped the Jayhawks
gain a two-game lead over
Texas in the Big 12 race.

Jayhawks fall to Hawkeyes in mid-week series
It was a few short months
ago when coach Ritch Price
sat in his ofce with the
January snow beginning
to melt away, and baseball
season just around the
corner. Price had one point of
emphasis in order to make the
Jayhawks a tournament team.
Afer failing to appear in the
tournament last spring, Price
emphasized that in order
for the Jayhawks to take the
next step, they would have to
perform better in their mid-
week matchups.
Afer another disappointing
mid-week matchup, where
they lost to the Iowa Hawkeyes
(18-12) by a score of 7-12, the
Jayhawks appear to be farther
away from taking that next
step. For the second time this
spring, Kansas was swept in a
mid-week series.
We have said mid-weeks
have to be just as important as
weekend performances, afer
a series win against K-State,
a series loss like this leaves
a bad taste in your mouth,
said senior catcher Kaiana
Eldredge, who was the lone
Jayhawk available to talk afer
the tough loss.
Jayhawks now have an
overall record of 21-13, but a
mere 2-5 record in mid-week
contests afer losing their frst
three mid-week games to start
the year.
Kansas got on the board frst
with a two-run inning in the
top of the second. Junior frst
baseman Blair Beck took a
two out fastball up the middle
to score senior outfelder
Tucker Tarp. Beck was then
scored by Eldredge who took
a 3-2 pitch and doubled to
lef.
Hawkeyes then answered
with huge back-to-back
ofensive innings in the
bottom of the second and
third. Tey scored fve runs
of six hits in the second with
two outs, and then tacked on
three more runs on three hits
to force Kansas to go to the
bullpen rather early.
Junior right-handed starter
Drew Morovick got the start
against Iowa, and was pulled
afer 2.2 innings of work.
Coming into Wednesdays
night contest Morovick
led the conference in wins
with six. He failed to get his
seventh afer allowing eight
early runs of 10 hits to receive
his second loss of the spring.
Afer taking the mound
earlier than expected,
sophomore Hayden Edwards
settled down the bats of Iowa.
He allowed just one run
which came in the seventh,
allowing three hits in four
innings, striking out a pair of
Hawkeyes.
Five Jayhawks had multi-hit
performances on the road, but
lef 12 guys stranded. Tarp
went four of fve at the plate
with four singles. Eldredge
was near perfect going three
for four with a couple doubles
and junior Michael Suiter
picked up a pair singles.
We swung the bats well
today, but you have to tip your
cap to that Iowa team; they
just hit better, said Eldredge.
Junior designated hitter
Connor McKay (2-5) and
sophomore Colby Wright (2-
4) went the distance. McKay
picked up his sixth home run
on the year in the third for a
solo shot. Wright recorded his
frst home run
Its always nice seeing a
young guy get his frst (home
run), said Eldredge.
Jayhawks look to forget
about this mid-week sweep
as they prepare for a home
series against a conference
foe. Te frst of a three game
series against Texas Christian
University (20-12) will be
Friday. First pitch will be at 6
p.m.
It will be nice to be at
Hoglund ballpark, said
Eldredge. TCU is a tough
pitching team, we are going
up against two high caliber
pitchers, we have to be
focused and ready to go.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Alex
Gordon hit a three-run homer
and matched a career high
with four RBIs, leading the
Kansas City Royals to a 7-3
rout of the Tampa Bay Rays in
their series fnale Wednesday.
Nori Aoki, Johnny Giavotella
and Billy Butler also drove in
runs for the Royals, who have
struggled to fnd ofense all
season. Tey had only scored
more than four runs once in
their frst seven games, and
lost 1-0 to Tampa Bay the
previous night.
Jeremy Guthrie (2-0)
recovered from a sloppy
start to hold the Rays to four
hits over seven innings. Te
only run he allowed came on
Desmond Jennings homer in
the fourth.
Te Royals broke the game
open with a fve-run ffh of
Jake Odorizzi (1-1), who was
part of the blockbuster trade
in 2012 that brought James
Shields from Tampa Bay to
Kansas City.
Te Royals went ahead on
Butlers RBI groundout and
Gordons run-scoring single
in the fourth inning.
Lorenzo Cain singled of
Odorizzi to lead of the ffh,
Aoki followed two batters
later with a triple to right, and
the food gates were open.
Giavotella, recalled from
Triple-A Omaha to replace
injured second baseman
Omar Infante, hit a sacrifce
fy to make it 4-1. Hosmer and
Butler followed with back-
to-back singles, and Gordon
popped a pitch to right-center
that hung up long enough
in the wind to land over the
fence.
It was a rough way for
Odorizzi to return to
Kaufman Stadwium, where
he made his big league debut
with the Royals in 2012. He
allowed all seven runs on 10
hits and a walk in fve innings.
Te Royals squandered a
scoring chance with runners
on frst and second and one
out in the second inning
when Mike Moustakas struck
out and Gordon was thrown
out heading to third.
Royals manager Ned Yost
trundled onto the feld and
challenged the call. Afer
a review of 2 minutes, 10
seconds, the ruling made
by third base umpire Quinn
Wolcott was upheld.
It hardly mattered the way
the Royals were swinging
and the way Guthrie was
pitching.
Te right-hander, who
turned 35 on Tuesday, was
coming of a rough start
against the White Sox. But
Guthrie navigated trouble in
each of the frst three innings,
leaving fve Rays on base,
and then retired his fnal 12
batters to hand the lead to his
bullpen.
Kelvin Herrera gave up two
runs in the ninth for Kansas
City.
We swung the bats well

today, but you have to tip
your cap to that Iowa team;
they just hit better.

Runners jump over hurdles during the Jayhawk Classic in February 2014. On Friday and Saturday the Jayhawks will compete in the Mesa Classic and the Sun Angel Classic, respectively.
For athletes who are from
out of town, there is always
something special about
getting the opportunity to go
home for a game, tournament
or meet. Afer having this
opportunity for the frst time
last spring, senior Alex Bishop
will again be able to perform
at a venue just outside of his
hometown this weekend,
as the Jayhawk track and
feld teams travel to Tempe,
Ariz., to compete in a pair of
meets: the Mesa Classic on
Friday, April 11, and the Sun
Angel Classic in Phoenix on
Saturday, April 12.
As Bishop attempts to
impress his hometown crowd,
the rest of the Jayhawks will
also be looking to post good
performances. Bishops fellow
pole vaulter, junior Casey
Bowen, is one of the athletes
poised to do so afer clearing
a personal best mark of 5.50
meters (180.5) at the Texas
Relays, which still has him
ranked third in the NCAA so
far this season.
Also ready to continue
recent success this weekend
for the 25th-ranked mens
squad is junior Michael
Stigler, who won his second-
straight Texas Relays in the
400-meter hurdles. His
winning time of 50.08 has
him currently ranked at No. 2
in the NCAA.
As for the Kansas women,
currently ranked 10th in
the nation, junior Lindsay
Vollmer will be one of the
headliners as she enters the
weekend as the top-ranked
heptathlete in the country.
Vollmer will look to stay on
at the top of the competition
this weekend as she continues
her quest to repeat in the
heptathlon afer winning
the outdoor title last June in
Eugene, Ore.
Junior Colleen OBrien will
be attempting to keep up
her early season success this
weekend in the high jump, as
her clearance of 1.81 meters
(511.25) at the Texas Relays
has her at seventh in the
NCAA rankings.
Eyes will also be on the
womens relay squads,
especially the 4x100-meter
team, who passed the baton
around the track in 44.67
last weekend at the Battle on
the Bayou, which has them
entering the weekend as the
NCAAs 14th-ranked team in
the event.
Action from the Mesa
Classic will get underway at
10 a.m. on Friday, while the
Sun Angel Classic will kick of
at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

TRACK AND FIELD
Toronto Raptors defeat
Philadelphia 76ers 125-114
TORONTO Jonas
Valanciunas had 26 points and
12 rebounds to lif the Toronto
Raptors to a 125-114 victory
over the Philadelphia 76ers
on Wednesday, less than three
days afer he was charged with
drunk driving.
Kyle Lowry led Toronto with
29 points in his frst game
back afer missing three with
a bruised kneecap. Patrick
Patterson fnished with 17 for
the Raptors in their fourth
straight victory and seventh in
eight games.
DeMar DeRozan added 17
points before leaving the game
with a minute to play with a
gash over his lef eye. Toronto
was missing starting forward
Amir Johnson for the fourth
straight game.
Henry Sims scored 22 points,
Michael Carter-Williams
added 19, and Taddeus
Young fnished with 16 for the
Sixers.
Valanciunas scored the
Raptors frst points of the
game, then grabbed a rebound
on the Sixers frst shot, and
scored on a dunk on a pass
from DeRozan on Torontos
next trip down the foor.
Te Raptors are headed to
the postseason for the frst
time in six years, and are on
pace to win both the Atlantic
Division title and top their
franchise record for wins of 47
set in 2000-01 and 2006-07.
Tey were coming of a 102-
98 win over the last-place
Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday,
and the Sixers who recently
tied the league record for most
consecutive defeats in a single
season with 26 gave Toronto
a decent game for much of the
night.
Te Raptors led by only a
point midway through the
third quarter before taking
a 98-89 advantage into the
fourth.
Te Sixers trailed by just
six points with 2:44 to play
afer Young made a 17-
foot fadeaway jumper. But
Lowry proved once again
how valuable he is down the
stretch, making consecutive
baskets to give the Raptors a
10-point lead with 1:52 to play.
Tere were questions
about Valanciunas playing
Wednesday in the wake of his
arrest. Coach Dwane Casey
was asked about the issue
before the game.
We sent a message, Casey
replied. We sent a message
that we dont condone it,
were disappointed in him. By
playing him, were not saying
were condoning it.
Valanciunas was arrested
early Monday morning in
Wasaga Beach, Ontario, and
charged with having more than
80 milligrams of alcohol in 100
milliliters of blood. Police say
they began investigating afer
a report that a vehicle went
through a drive-thru with
open beer bottles visible.
His frst court appearance is
scheduled for Onari on April
22. Te 21-year-old is not
required to attend so a lawyer
will stand in for him.

UConn hopes to prot
from championships
ASSOCIATED PRESS
STORRS, Conn. Campus
celebrations are winding
down afer two nights of
championship parties, yet
the of-court excitement
could be just beginning at the
University of Connecticut.
With students, faculty and
alumni beaming with pride
following the mens and
womens basketball teams
national titles, the university
administration is looking far
beyond the Gampel Pavilion
sports arena for a payof.
Te teams accomplishments
led national news and sports
broadcasts and appeared
on news or sports pages of
newspapers across the world.
Its amazing. It lets everyone
know were something special
here, said Danielle Deschene,
an 18-year-old freshman from
Norwich, Conn., who was
sporting a Huskies sweatshirt
while picking up a UConn
T-shirt for her dad at a campus
bookstore.
Tis isnt the frst time the
Huskies have pulled of the
mens and womens NCAA
basketball sweep: UConn is
the only school to ever win
Division I mens and womens
titles in the same year, a feat
also accomplished in 2004.
Tats the kind of publicity
money cant buy any college or
university. And, the result is an
expected boost fnancially, in
admissions applications and
recruiting.
UConn President Susan
Herbst said it is hard to
quantify the efect the titles
will have on donations and
student applications, but shes
sure theyll increase.
Tey get the attention,
they win, and then I take that
attention and turn it toward
the academic mission, Herbst
said Tuesday. People are
thinking about UConn and
when they get to me with
congratulations, then, I have
to talk about our health center,
our excellence in education,
our student success.
Brian Otis, vice president of
development at the University
of Connecticut Foundation,
said the national titles have
contributed to a major hike in
fundraising from less than $20
million annually in the 1990s
to $63 million last year.
Te success has raised the
bar of excellence across the
university, Otis said. Tere
was a period where mediocrity
was the acceptable level of
performance. Tats no longer
the case. Being competitive on
a national, international level
is the standard.
Te main campus at Storrs,
Conn., was quiet with light
pedestrian trafc Wednesday
morning afer thousands
of students celebrated the
previous two nights. Blue
and white balloons honoring
the Huskies colors were
tied to mailboxes leading to
campus and TV news trucks
were parked outside Gampel
Pavilion.
Te UConn womens team
was expected to return home
Wednesday afernoon and
celebrate with a victory lap
around campus in an open-
air, double-decker bus and
speeches near the Student
Union. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy
announced that a parade for
both teams will be held Sunday
in Hartford.
Te NCAA basketball titles
a record ninth for the
women and fourth for the
men deliver a boost to the
UConn brand, Herbst said.
Te schools image took a
hit in 2013 because the mens
team was banned from the
NCAA tournament over
academic performance issues.
Te school also is facing
a Title IX lawsuit over its
response to sexual assault
allegations on campus. Tose
headlines have been replaced
by stories about men and
women performing at a high
level on and of the court and
the school celebrating both
championships.
Were still top dogs, UConn
mens coach Kevin Ollie said.
When you doubt us, thats
when we fght our hardest.
Were still on top, we didnt go
nowhere.
UConn expects the titles to
help recruiting. Te Huskies
already were among the
nations elite in attracting
basketball talent. But Ollie
says winning another title
a year afer the ban sends a
message to potential student
athletes that the program isnt
on the decline.
Te championships also
provide a fnancial windfall.
Checkout lines snaked
around the inside of the
UConn Co-op bookstore
Tuesday as fans purchased
championship gear. Te
school is planning several
new designs to honor both the
mens and the womens teams.
Kyle Muncy, who is in charge
of licensing and branding for
the athletic department, said
its hard to predict how much
of an efect the wins will have
on licensing revenue. But, he
said, the two biggest periods in
the schools licensing royalty
history were in 2004-2005 and
1999-2000. Tat corresponds
with the dual titles in 2004 and
the frst mens title in 1999.
A typical year for the school
results in over $500,000 in net
licensing revenue, he said. A
mens basketball championship
increases that number to
anywhere from $750,000
(2011) to $1.2 million (2004).
Te titles combined with a
new Husky logo could shatter
that mark. He said the 2004
mark was well within reach.
People are thinking about

UConn and when they get
to me with congratulations,
then, I have to talk about our
health center, our excellence
in education, our student
success.

Reds defeat Cardinals
4-0, avoid sweep
ST. LOUIS Billy Hamilton had
three hits and his rst two steals,
and scored easily after tagging
up on a shallow outeld pop y to
support a strong outing from Mike
Leake in the Cincinnati Reds 4-0
victory over the St. Louis Cardi-
nals on Wednesday.
Leake (1-1) allowed four hits
and a walk in eight scoreless
innings and Devin Mesoraco hit
a two-run home run for the Reds,
who avoided a three-game sweep
after dropping their ninth se-
ries in their last 10 in St. Louis.
Theyre 2-4 against the Cardi-
nals, their NL Central rival, and
wrapped up a 2-4 trip.
Cardinals pitcher Shelby Miller
(0-2) allowed his fourth homer
in two starts and faced trouble
most of his six innings but held
the Reds hitless in nine at-bats
with runners in scoring position.
Mesoraco hit his rst homer in the
fourth after doubling twice Tues-
day in his rst start after coming
off the 15-day disabled list.
Hamilton entered batting .091
with two hits and seven strikeouts
in 22 at-bats and left town bat-
ting .192. He reached safely his
rst three trips beginning with a
triple to open the game when left
elder Matt Holliday missed on a
diving catch in the gap.
After singling to start the fth
he put on a show with his legs,
stealing second without a throw,
going to third on a yout to shal-
low right and scoring easily to
beat Jon Jays relay on Bruces
pop y to even shallower right and
put the Reds up 3-0.
Hamilton bunted for a hit in the
ninth against Pat Neshek and
stole second, then scored without
a throw on Brandon Phillips one-
out single to make it 4-0.
Leake retired nine of the rst 10
hitters and beneted from three
double-play balls, two of them
in a run of ve straight three-
up, three-down innings from
the second through sixth. Leake
was 0-2 in three starts last year
against St. Louis while allowing
15 earned runs in 16 1-3 innings
and defeated them for the rst
time since Aug. 25, 2012.
Millers best work came in the
rst when he struck out Brandon
Phillips and Joey Votto and got Jay
Bruce on a groundout to strand
Hamilton at third. He gave up
three runs on seven hits.
Cardinals third baseman Matt
Carpenter made an outstanding
diving stop on Leakes grounder
down the line in the third.

WASHINGTON Its been
almost a year since police in the
Boston suburb of Watertown
were at the center of the hunt
for the Boston Marathon
bombing suspects.
Police found themselves in
a late-night shootout with the
suspects one was killed,
the other was found wounded
almost a day later.
On Wednesday, Watertowns
police chief was on Capitol Hill
testifying at a House hearing
on the afermath of last Aprils
bombings.
Edward Deveau was asked
about what lessons his
department learned in the
wake of the attack and if
anything should be diferent.
He said while his department
is too small for a permanent
seat on the Boston areas Joint
Terrorism Taskforce one of
many task forces around the
country organized by the FBI
smaller agencies like his
need to have access to that
table immediately afer events
such as the Boston Marathon
bombings.
A few days afer the attacks
that killed three and wounded
hundred others, Watertown
ofcers got into an early
morning shootout with
bombing suspects Tamerlan
and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Deveau said his ofcers
thought they were pursing
carjacking suspects when the
ofcers were attacked with
homemade explosives and
gunfre. Tamerlan Tsarnaev
was killed in the shootout and
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found
nearly a day later, wounded
and hiding in a boat.
Deveau testifed before the
House Homeland Security
Committee along with a
sergeant from his department
and former Boston Police
Commissioner Ed Davis.
When something like this
happens, we need to have
access to that table ... to be
updated, Deveau said of
working with the FBI-led
terrorism task force. We need
to have a seat right away.
Te committee chairman,
Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas,
said he still worried that law
enforcement ofcials missed
signs that Tamerlan Tsarnaev
had become increasingly
radicalized in the months
and weeks leading up to the
bombings.
McCaul said a report
from the committee on the
bombings found that several
red fags and warnings were
missed.
Te Los Angeles Times
reported Wednesday
that Tamerlan Tsarnaev
submitted an application with
immigration authorities to
legally change his name to
honor a slain militant who
fought Russian forces in
Dagestan, a Russian republic
where the Tsarnaev family is
from.

AUSTIN, Texas NBA
Hall of Famer Bill Russell said
Wednesday that gay athletes
current fght for equality and
acceptance reminds him of
some of the same struggles
black athletes faced in the
1960s.
Russell, who won 11 NBA
championships with the
Boston Celtics, said talk about
whether gay athletes can be
good teammates or if they
might disrupt locker rooms
are the same questions black
athletes heard years ago, when
colleges and professional
leagues were struggling with
the concept of integration.
It seems to me, a lot of
questions about gay athletes,
were the same questions
they used to ask about us,
Russell said during a panel
discussion at the Lyndon B.
Johnson Presidential Library
in Austin, which is hosting
a summit celebrating the
50th anniversary of the Civil
Rights Act.
Russell said he would have
only one question about a gay
teammate: Can he play?
Russell, 80, joined NFL
Hall of Fame running back
Jim Brown, 78, on a panel
about sports and race during
the three-day Civil Rights
Summit. Former President
Bill Clinton is scheduled
to address the summit
Wednesday night, and
President Barack Obama is
scheduled to speak Tursday.
Brown and Russell were key
fgures, as athletes and black
leaders, during the civil rights
movement. Both men said
they approached civil rights
as a struggle for respect for
human beings based on their
character and merit, not the
color of their skin.
Teir comments came just
hours afer UMass basketball
player Derrick Gordon
became the frst openly gay
player in Division I mens
basketball.
Te former athletes also
addressed the question of
whether college athletes
should be able to form unions
and collectively bargain with
their universities. Brown
said he opposed unionizing
college athletes, but also said
he disliked the model of the
NCAA.
Its not going to be a
struggle between the NCAA
and the union, that will just
be (about) money ... put the
value back on education,
Brown said.
Russell, however,
remembered fghting to form
the NBA players union to
get better contracts. Tat
only worked when players
threatened to sit out an all-
star game and the playofs,
Russell said.
All great fortunes are
amassed with either cheap
or slave labor, Russell said.
Te NCAA is the one
group everybody is focusing
on. Tey have this money
machine. To keep it this way,
the labor force has to be free
or very low wages ... All the
agreements with the NBA
now are based on collective
bargaining.

CRIME
Pistorius and his story under intense scrutiny
PRETORIA, South Africa
In a sometimes ruthless cross-
examination of Oscar Pistorius
at his murder trial Wednesday,
chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel
scrutinized the athletes story
that he killed his girlfriend
Reeva Steenkamp by mistake
on Feb. 14, 2013.
Here are some of the key
points Nel raised on his frst
day questioning Pistorius:
INTENTIONAL OR MISTAKE
Nel began dramatically
by urging Pistorius to face
up to his actions and to
look at a grisly police photo
of Steenkamps head and
the wounds caused by the
Olympians shooting.
Take responsibility for what
youve done, Mr. Pistorius,
Nel said, telling the athlete
to look at the graphic photo,
which caused a stir in court.
Pistorius refused to.
Later, Nel pressed Pistorius
on his mindset and intentions
when he fred through a door
into a toilet cubicle where
Steenkamp was, asking him
to say that hed fred purposely
at a person. Pistorius referred
to the shooting as a mistake
and repeated his claim that he
believed an intruder was about
to come out of the cubicle and
attack him.
You never purposely fred
shots into the door? Nel
asked as he tried to establish
Pistorius intended to kill. Im
not denying that I shot at the
door, Pistorius said, but added
that he never intended to kill
anyone.
THE FANS
Nel pounced on
inconsistencies in Pistorius
story about how many fans
he said he brought inside in
the pre-dawn hours when he
heard a noise in the bathroom
that made him believe there
was an intruder. In his frst
court afdavit last year,
Pistorius said there was one.
Now he says there were two
fans. Also, Nel showed a photo
of a row of plug sockets where
Pistorius said one of the fans
was plugged in. Tere was no
space for the plug. Pistorius
suggested it wasnt important
and Nel responded: Its not
insignifcant, Mr. Pistorius. It
will show that you are lying.
ON THE BALCONY?
In his bail hearing statement
in February last year, Pistorius
said he went out onto the
balcony to bring the fans in
on the night of the shooting.
Nel noted Pistorius story now
was that he remained inside his
bedroom and only went to the
edge where the balcony meets
with the room to bring the fans
in. Nel suggested that Pistorius
wouldnt have been able to
hear a noise in his bathroom
from out on the balcony and
therefore changed the detail to
suit his story.
PISTORIUS CHARACTER
Trough three days of
defense-led testimony from
Pistorius, he painted an image
of himself as a committed
athlete and religious man
who sometimes felt fearful
and vulnerable to crime and
was therefore extra-careful.
Nel immediately attacked
that image and was granted
permission by the judge to
show a video where Pistorius
was shown shooting a
watermelon at a gun range with
a powerful handgun and then
saying, afer howls of laughter
from people with him, that the
gun was a zombie stopper
and the watermelon was
sofer than brains. Nel said
Steenkamps head exploded
just like the watermelon.
HIS TESTIMONY SCRIPTED?
Nel repeatedly said that
Pistorius had some of his
answers pre-planned and
ready, and wasnt answering
the specifc questions the
prosecutor was asking. Nel also
asked the runner if his overall
account was from his own
memory or a reconstruction
with the help of lawyers.
Youve got long arguments,
long answers, Nel said to
Pistorius, suggesting his
testimony was overly-coached
by his legal team.
I cant change the truth,
Pistorius responded.

while testifying at his murder trial Wednesday, turning away from the gruesome image as the prosecutor urged
the star athlete to take responsibility for killing her.
I cant change the truth.

I want to be remembered as a guy who gave everything while

It gives students cause to pause, to think a little more

The purpose of the show is to celebrate the gifts that women

We sent a message that we
