Full Student Senate passes

transcript notation bill
ALANA FLINN
@alana_flinn

Full Senate passed a bill that

supports the addition of a notation to transcripts of students
who are suspended or expelled
for non-academic misconduct.
Since non-academic misconduct would include sexual
assault or any violation of a
sexual harassment policy, the
bill is an attempt to combat the
issue on campuses by preventing another Kansas Board of
Regents school from accepting
a transfer candidate without
full knowledge of the students
history of misconduct.
Student leaders from Kansas
Board of Regent schools will
present the bill on March 11 to
board members of KBOR, Student Body President Morgan
Said said.
This policy, should it pass
through KBOR and be implemented, would help deter a
growing sexual assault issue
on KBOR campuses. The bill
cannot be put into place until it
is approved by KBOR, and the
notation could only be placed
on the transcript should the
University have jurisdiction
over the offense.
KBOR needs to consider
this policy to show its interest in the overall well-being of
students in the Kansas higher

Especially with recent education funding cuts, we need to
work harder than ever as a state

non-monetary ways.
The bill would not cover community colleges or out-of-state

Lawrence-based band Pink
Royal is one of several bands
that has recently resorted to
the alternative method of
crowdfunding a way for
supporters to donate money
directly to an artist to help
them finish a project to
further its endeavors and
help finance its upcoming
album.
The bands crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, a website specifically for
crowdfunding, features several perks from receiving a
producer credit on the album
to a house concert from the
band, depending on how
much each supporter donates. The campaign ends on
Mar. 22 and the bands goal
is to receive $5,000 in dona-

tions. So far, it has received

$1,280.
The band plans to release its
full-length, self-produced album entitled Taps in April.
The album is being produced
by Jim Barnes, the drummer
of Kansas City band, Hembree.
In support of the anticipated release, Pink Royal will
open for Magic Man, a synthpop band from Boston, at the
Bottleneck on Feb. 26. The
show is sponsored by both
Student Union Activities and
KJHK.
Pink Royal began three
years ago when a small collective of musicians came together to create a band. Since
its inception, the band has
seen members come and go,
but its current rendition has
been together for two years.
Current members of the

band include: Dylan James

Guthrie on vocals, Steven LaCour on guitar, Will Chertoff
on guitar, Alex Hartman on
drums and Nick Carswell on
bass guitar and keys.
LaCour, 24, is an original
member of Pink Royal and
an alumnus of the University. LaCour majored in Engineering and currently has a
full-time job as an engineer.
Growing up he wanted to be
a drummer, but eventually
picked up guitar.
I was a self-taught musician, played by ear, LaCour
said. Honestly, for most of
my college career I didnt
think something awesome
was going to happen. My
fourth year of college was
when Pink Royal was formed
and its been one of my most
passionate projects Ive been
involved with.

Guthrie, 23, is a senior from

Lawrence majoring in English Literature and plans on
graduating this spring. Guthrie has always been around
music and knew it was something he wanted to be a part

Busy boy, busy boy, gotta be a busy boy/Comb my

would pave the way for the

Through this bill, the United States Congress attempts to

However, congressional Republicans plan to attempt to

Under current Kansas law, it

is illegal to participate in fantasy sports leagues that have
either a buy-in or where players compete for money. A bill
in the Federal and State Affairs
Committee would reverse that,
making fantasy leagues legal.
Fantasy leagues are classified as a lottery, which under
the law can only be run by the
state. The bill would reverse
this classification and make it
a game of chance, which would
be legal. Representative Brett
Hildabrand

the author of this bill, said he

Researchers support
integrated classrooms
ALANA FLINN
@alana_flinn

In an attempt to create a
full inclusion curriculum
for students of all learning spectrums, researchers
and technical providers at
the Schoolwide Integrated
Framework for Transformation Center (SWIFT) are
working on implementing
a program at the University
that would include students
labeled special education
into general curriculum
classrooms.
SWIFT is a program that
exists to give the same
learning experience to
special education students by allowing them to
be in the same classrooms
as their peers.
Wayne Sailor, professor of
special education and director of the SWIFT Center at the University, said
achieving this integration
would be to drop labels altogether.
I dont think we really
need to label people, and
we dont need to segregate
them based on their labels,
Sailor said. Instead of asking what the problem is, we
should ask, What does this
kid need to succeed to the
maximum extent possible?
and then match resources
through that instructional
need. That way, we dont
need segregated classes for
kids labeled disabled.
A SWIFT classroom
would work with the use of
a Multi-Tier System of Supports (MTSS), Sailor said.
Original models of this
idea are known as Response to Intervention
(RTI) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and
Support (PBIS), which
were established through
research at Vanderbilt and
the University of Kansas in
the mid-1990s.

The combination of RTI

and PBIS then creates the
idea of MTSS. Kansas, Florida, Michigan and Missouri were the earliest states
to adopt MTSS, said Kari
Woods, a member of the
SWIFT Communications
and Dissemination team.
The original model had
three tiers specifically designed for special education students.
Tier one is academic intervention connected to
the regular classroom and
curriculum. If a student
were having problems,
they would be identified
through screening and
then go into tier two intervention.
Tier two would remove
the student and serve them
in special education classrooms, but with the idea of
carefully monitoring their
progress to get them back
into tier one.
Tier three is for intensive
interventions of students
who cannot overcome tier
two.
MTSS focuses on schoolwide application instead of
just classroom-based.
The unit of analysis is
no longer the classroom;
its about the entire school
and with secondary education, even the community,
Sailor said. So were looking at a different landscape
for where you educate
in school. Instead of Ms.
Jones fourth grade class,
it may be in the school library, cafeteria, playground
or all-purpose room. But,
under MTSS, what you
wouldnt have is segregated
classes.
The SWIFT framework
has been implemented in
64 schools for about a year
and a half, Woods said.
A full transformation to
the integrated curriculum
would take approximately

four years.
Jennifer Marcinkowski,
president of Able Hawks,
a student organization that
promotes the accessibility
of services for special needs
students, said she agrees
with integrating special
education students into the
general curriculum.
You have to start with the
numbers, and statistically
looking at KU, one in every
10 students on campus has
a disability of some type,
Marcinkowski said. Segregating kids with disabilities
is hiding them and labeling
with a stigma. They dont
go to class with their peers,
dont eat or do socialization
with their peers, so you
immediately remove all of
these opportunities that
kids without disabilities are
enjoying. Having disability
awareness in society is the
responsibility of every individual.
Implementing
MTSS
throughout schools is beneficial for both special education students and educators, Sailor said.
These are people that deserve better. They can learn
stuff, and through learning
stuff, which is the purpose
of public education, they
can have a higher quality
of life when they graduate,
Sailor said. What you have
is a broader use of the available space of the school and
a broader range of people at
the school involved in the
education process. Basically you rethink the way you
organize a school, its space
and the way they organize
their personnel. Collaborative teaching occurs
between general and special educatorsyou have a
fully integrated system of
support using MTSS as a
driver.

ification in the top 16 is a really
rare occurrence, said Sean Kennedy, an assistant policy debate
coach for the University. [A
top 16 qualification] can really
make or break a program for a
span of five-to-seven years.
Kennedy recruited Robinson
to come to the University last
summer after working with
her at a summer camp at Dartmouth University. Robinson is
only the second freshman from
the University to qualify for the
National Debate Tournament.
Shes come a really long way.
Shes very talented and I recruited her to come here because of
that, Kennedy said. But she

her talent and to really perform
well a lot more quickly than I

Halling said. I think this

Halling also said this bill
is not made to damage students abilities to transfer
schools.
We're not blacklisting
any students suspended or
expelled, Halling said. We
just think other universities
need to be able to make educated decisions on transfer
candidates.
Student Senate has also
been working on bills regarding the finances of college students. Government
Relations Director Will Admussen announced some of
the plans for Big 12 On the
Hill, which will take place
March 1-4. Admussen, Said
and Student Body Vice President Miranda Wagner will
travel to Washington, D.C.
to propose certain legislation to Kansas lawmakers.

Anderson began playing fantasy leagues with his friends in

We were like, Lets get some

Hildabrand said he anticipates a hearing in committee
within the next few weeks and
expects few opponents in the

By and large, its been very
favorably received, Hildabrand said. Usually a persons
reaction is, Oh my, I didn't
know this was illegal. Ive had

they had no idea they were

preparation.
I tend to think that 90 percent of debates are won before
you get to the tournament, with
preparation, practice speeches
and really spending time thinking about other teams arguments and how your arguments
will interact, Hampton said. It
also takes an incredible amount
of work from our coaching staff,
which really contributes into
making the team successful.
Kennedy said that the University having so many first-round
qualifiers shows the consistency
of the program.
Just as the first-round process
demonstrates the consistency
of a single team over the course
of a season, I think the fact that
[the University] has had so
many first-round qualifiers illustrates the consistency of our
program across the entire history of its existence, Kennedy
said.

The incident happened off-duty,

but after Burke was brought in for
questioning, investigators found
probable cause for arrest.
Burke had his first appearance
regarding the charges yesterday
afternoon around 3 p.m., McKinley
said. The Kansan was unable to
reach the district attorneys office.
Burke is suspended with pay and
the investigation is ongoing.
The Lawrence Journal-World reported that as of Wednesday night,
the DA Office has not charged Burke,
pending further investigation.

Health activist to share

eating disorder story
SHERYL MILLER
@KUSheryl

As an end to National Eating

Disorders Awareness Week,
health activist Ali Dostal will
speak tonight at 7 p.m. in the
Malott Room of the Kansas
Union about her experiences
battling an eating disorder, as
well as the resources available
for those who suffer from disorders.
Dostal, from Blue Springs,
Mo., is a volunteer speaker
and activist for the National
Eating Disorders Association. Dostal said she decided
to become a speaker because
she is passionate about helping others who live with eating disorders.
People that have eating disorders need to know there are
resources out there and that
people truly do want to help,
even when they think they
are stuck, Dostal said.
Dostal is in recovery from
an eating disorder. During
her treatment, she learned
that almost half of the men
and women in treatment with
her had developed their eating disorders while in college.
That to me is incredibly
sad. College is supposed to be
a fun experience and no one
should have that taken from
them, Dostal said. If I can
give hope to one person at my
speech, I did my job right.
For Dostal, it is especially
important for students with
eating disorders to attend the
lecture.
The last thing someone
with an eating disorder wants
to do is hear someone talk

Dostal
about how they recovered,
but I promise it is worth it,
she said. Recovery is worth
it.
Dostal said its important
not to make someone suffering from an eating disorder
feel forced into going to the
event. She suggested demonstrating care and support as
a way to persuade those with
disorders to attend.
Kirby Knipp, a senior from
Overland Park, is a peer
health educator (PHE) who
helped organize Celebrate
EveryBODY week.
A lot of Jayhawks have been
taking part in this, Knipp
said. We hung up positive
messaging posters throughout bathrooms on campus. It
really is a peer-driven campaign.
Other PHEs will be in attendance at Dostals presentation
because it is an important issue to college students, Knipp
said. He said it was important
that PHEs understand the severity of eating disorders and
how to treat them.
The National Eating Disorders Association found

that nearly 20 percent of college students, both men and

women, surveyed said they
had or previously had eating
disorders, Knipp said. We
believe shedding light on this
will help students become
aware of the effects an eating
disorder can cause and hopefully help their fellow Jayhawks or even themselves.
Christian Vargas, a licensed
psychologist with the Universitys Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), said
its important to have public
conversations about mental health in order to reduce
stigma.
Acknowledging that eating
disorders exist on our campus is the first step to bringing awareness to encourage
understanding of the causes
and treatment options, Vargas said.
This years theme for National
Eating
Disorders
Awareness is early intervention, said Kelsey Fortin, an
education program coordinator for the Health Education
Resource Office in Watkins
Health Center.
We are choosing to put a
positive spin on the week by
titling it Celebrate EveryBODY Week, Fortin said. A
part of the presentation will
be dedicated to body acceptance and loving yourself.
CAPS representatives will
be available for consultation
and for more information
about treatment options
during the event.

NICHOLAS CLAYTON
Associated Press

TOPEKA The Kansas

House unexpectedly voted Wednesday to advance
changes to collective bargaining between public
school teachers and school
boards based on a compromise those groups agreed
to in January.
The chamber gave firstround approval to a bill
that would allow school
boards
and
teachers
unions to each bring five
issues up for discussion
during negotiations, in addition to salary and work
hours. They can currently
discuss dozens of issues,
from pensions to vacation
time.
The 67-52 vote, a surprise
victory for the education
groups, came after Rep. Sue
Boldra (R-Hays) replaced
a competing conservative

bills language with the

compromise
provisions.
That bill would have allowed non-union teachers to negotiate separately
for pay, and school boards
would not have been required to extend to them
deals reached with the
union. That language was
stripped from the version
that passed.
Boldra said she was not
confident until Wednesday
that the compromise would
have a chance to pass, but
she said after increased
lobbying by school superintendents, it gained more
support in the chamber.
The school boards and
teachers unions came to
the compromise agreement
after 18 months of negotiations, and representatives
of both sides have said they
would not support alternative terms.
We continue to beat up

on teachers; we continue
to devalue them, and this is
one victory for them, Boldra said after the session.
Rep. J. R. Claeys (R-Salina) said that because the
majority of teachers in
the state are not members
of the unions collectively
bargaining their wage and
work conditions with the
school boards, the original
bill would have given them
greater freedom.
But, Rep. John Doll
(R-Garden City) said in
the 20 years he worked as
a teacher who was not a
member of the union, the
bargaining units would
still update him and other
teachers on the talks and
gather their input.
I lived that for 20 years. I
didnt belong to the union
and I had a lot of say-so,
Doll said. I felt I had as
much say-so as I wanted to
have in negotiations.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Students can make change as senators

you dont have to be highly
involved on campus or
popular with anyone in particular to make a difference.
You can join a coalition
of students who have the
background to inform you
of the rules and regulations,
and help you understand
the election process. I dont
think I would have won on
my own, but I do think its
possible to win a Senate
seat, which is why Im
writing.
Whoever you are, wherever you are in your college

Kaitlyn Klein
@Kleinkm

am a senior who is
serving her too short,
but wonderful, term as
a student senator. I chose to
join Student Senate this past
year (with only a minimal
understanding of what I
would be doing) because
a few involved students
inspired me with their ideas
for our University.
My experience with
Student Senate is proof

Students can reap

many benefits from
on-campus jobs

Madeline Umali
@madelineumali

tudents at the University should choose

to work on-campus
jobs instead of looking
for off-campus work. The
University offers many different jobs to students each
semester, with employment
opportunities ranging from
a research assistant to a
desk secretary. Students
need to take this opportunity to work for their
university or department of
study. Working on campus
provides students with
more benefits than working
off campus.
Although some may have
the privilege of not working
during the school year, the
majority of college students
work part-time or full-time
jobs to pay off loans, pay
for rent or have a little extra
spending money. According
to a Think Progress article,
a 2013 survey stated that
approximately 80 percent
of students work while in
school.
One of the best reasons to
consider working on campus instead of off campus is
because it can count toward
the Federal Work-Study
Program. This program
provides part-time and fulltime jobs to undergraduate,
graduate and professional
students who qualify for
financial need. Through
a work-study job, students can start paying off
their education and avoid
excessive student debt.
Our university is fortunate
enough to have Federal
Work-Study, Kansas Career
Work-Study and Summer
Work-Study programs
available for students. The
Universitys work-study
website mentions that
work-study jobs are much
more flexible with students
schedules because they are
familiar with the academic
calendar.
On-campus employers
will be more understanding about scheduling.
They know school is the
most important priority
for students. In addition,
certain on-campus jobs
do not require students to
work during school breaks,
weekends or when campus
closes due to snow days
or holidays, according to
College Parents of America. Students can apply for
departmental assistant jobs,

which tend to be less demanding on ones schedule.

These departments are only
open during the week and
close by 5 p.m. Additionally, most on-campus jobs
only have a 10-15 hour per
week requirement, which
makes juggling school and
work a little less difficult.
On-campus jobs are perfect for students who live
on campus as well, as most
of their jobs will be within
walking distance. Students
can easily make it to work
without stressing about
how they will get there.
Working on campus also
allows students to network with professors and
students in the community.
If a student receives a job
in the department of their
study, he or she will meet
people in that school on a
daily basis. The School of

ON-CAMPUS
EMPLOYERS WILL
BE MORE
UNDERSTANDING
ABOUT
SCHEDULING. THEY
KNOW SCHOOL IS
THE MOST
IMPORTANT
PRIORITY FOR
STUDENTS.
Business offers many positions like IT lab assistant,
assistant portfolio manager
and teaching assistant. The
School of Engineering hires
students to be supplemental instructors, help desk
workers and undergraduate
research assistants. Working in their field of study
may provide students with
references or a potential job
after graduation.
Students should look for
on-campus work before
they decide on other
employment. According
to the Universitys human
resources department, the
University employed 4,770
students on the Lawrence
campus last year. There is a
wide range of employment
opportunities and students
should take advantage of
them. Aside from all the
reasons given, working on
campus promotes student
engagement. By working on
campus, students become
more active members of the
University.

more than vent to your

friends; you can draft a bill
or resolution to change
things.
Student Senate is a great
opportunity to address
several diverse issues such
as sexual assault policy; improving our comprehension
of how underrepresented
groups view our community
differently; helping student
groups get funding for
events; lifting the burden
student parents have with
planning work and childcare
around a class schedule, and

many more.
These are just some of the
changes pursued during
my brief time as a senator.
Theres so much more to be
done and Senate needs fresh
perspectives from students
who see things differently.
Please consider running for
office or at least learning
more about what your peers
are doing to improve the
Jayhawk community.

On-campus jobs provide a lot more opportunities to

get to know the campus, and it is really convenient
to go from class and then straight to work without
having the commute. Its just easier.

ERIN MARTIN
SENIOR FROM OVERLAND PARK
STUDYING COMMUNICATIONS
I think that off-campus jobs are more beneficial
to students because you get a chance to meet new
people in the community and have work experience in
an outside environment other than your campus.

I have an on-campus job, and I think that its preferred because its easy to maximize your hours while
being about to be at class on time. You dont have to
worry about schedules, and the people on-campus are
much more flexible.

NATALIA CANACARI

I also have an on-campus job, and I think that the
benefits of it are they are extremely flexible, so I can
move my hours around if I need to study for a big
exam or whatever. Theyre really understanding, and
its just preferable because you dont have to worry
about getting to different places or transportation.

A Raisin in the Sun to open this weekend

KATE MILLER
@_Kate_Miller_

Nicole Hodges Persley,

director of A Raisin in
the Sun, could never have
predicted the relevance her
play would have today. A play
that focuses on the lives of
an African-American family
would have been important
at any time, but recent
events seem to have perfectly
aligned with the set up for the
premiere of her show.
I picked this play a year ago,
so we couldnt have predicted
the now and the tension that
were experiencing, Hodges
Persley said. We couldnt
have predicted Ferguson, we
couldnt have predicted any
of these things I just said,
This is the play I want to
do.
The play centers on an
African-American family, the
Youngers, in the late 1950s.
In a time when integregation
is just beginning, the family
struggles with making a
better life and achieving
the American dream while
remaining true to themselves.
Zechariah Williams, a
junior from Overland Park,
plays the role of Walter
Younger, the father of the
family. Despite the fact that
he plays a character 15 years
older than he is, the character
and the play both speak to his
personal life.
To me personally, the play
is important on two different
levels, Williams said. On
an artistic level, as far as
African-American literature
goes, theres not a lot of
characters like the characters
in this play. On a social level,
it means a lot to me because
Im a young black man. It

entered high school, he knew
singing was going to be a big
part of his life. Guthrie eventually ended up attending the
University and studying in
the School of Music. Though,
due to a few differences he
had with the department, he
decided to break away, but he
still looks back at the music
department with admiration.
Carswell, 23, has no ties to
the University. He is from
Ireland and met the other members of Pink Royal
by stumbling across them
at a piano bar in The Barrel House. He grew up in a
household that enjoyed music, and said he always had
an ear for music. He began
playing by ear from the radio
and eventually began playing
piano.
Each individual said they
all come from a different
background with different
influences, and because of
their vastly varying influences Pink Royal has attracted
fans of many different demographics.
Our influences and what
we put in this band literally
bridge generations, LaCour
said. I feel like thats how
weve been able to capture
bits and pieces of those eras
of music.

speaks to me as a young black

man who comes from a lowincome family and goes to
college and does all these
things to live that American
dream.
Although the play focuses
on an African-American
family, the ideas and themes
presented apply to everyone,
regardless of race, Hodges
Persley said.
Its not just AfricanAmerican students who
need to know about this
play; its every student in this
department that needs to
know because its American
history, she said. Its not
African-American history
thats its specific endeavor
but this is American history.
Despite recent events,
Hodges Persley said it is also
important to view the themes
of the play through the era it
was written in.
Its tough not to impose the
lens that we have about social
relations now onto that piece
because what we live now is
a result of what other people
suffered and fought for,
Hodges Persley said. The
freedom that we have now to
think about race in a different
way was paid at a price, and
that price was people making
tremendous sacrifices as
artists to tell a particular type
of story even though it was
challenging.
However, she cautioned
against simply viewing the
play as a racial play, saying
there are other important
issues at hand.
People always want to
frame [Raisin] as a racial
play, but what play isnt a
racial play as long as theres
human beings in it? she said.
She mentioned nationalism,

The bands sound is not easily described. Guthrie said

the bands music is experimental groovepop, while
Hartmann, 23, describes the
band simply as palatable.
Carswell said, I think pop
music is a dirty word these
days, its aligned with commercialism and phoniness,
but good pop music appeals
to everyone.
Pink Royal is a close-knit
bunch and the bands creative process is similar to any
group of friends hanging out
and trying to entertain themselves.
The most creative times
are when were just having a
few beers, hanging out, then
a melody will pop up, Guthrie said. You cant ever really
expect a song to be created.
Its something that comes to
you.
LaCour said the process is
very spontaneous and organic. I feel like when I pick
up a guitar, Im just messing
around and something may
pop up that I really like, or
maybe it wont, he said.
LaCour and Guthrie both
credited Carswell as the
person who can take spontaneous melodies and lyrics
and make them flow as music.
I think the most interesting stuff we come up with

feminism and racial relations

as issues that affect every
decision made by the
characters in the play. As an
actor, Williams said these
issues helped him to relate to
his character.
We still fight the same
battles today, Williams
said. Were still fighting
racial battles; women are
still fighting for equal rights.
People are still trying to fight
for the American Dream.
These are themes that are still
relevant to todays generation.
Everyone has these dreams
and aspirations that they
want to be able to reach.
For Williams, the education
and social commentary the
play provides are important,
but the characters are the
strongest part of the play.
The whole play really

are combinations of different sounds, Carswell said.

I think thats the part of our
process that I like the most,

something that can work a
number of ways, pulling it
back, and making it sound
good.

one of the members of the
band, they said they are not
afraid to drop everything

keeps a group chat in which
members will send each other new sounds theyre working on.

public thank you to Steve

Smith, Sheeran
win, Kanye stirs it
up at Brit Awards
JILL LAWLESS
Associated Press

LONDON Sam Smith

and Ed Sheeran each won
a pair of prizes Wednesday
at Britain's leading music
awards but it took Kanye
West to introduce some
edge, with a song that proved
too strong for television.
Madonna gave the Brit
Awards an unscripted moment when she took a dramatic tumble during a performance of "Living For
Love."
The queen of pop, who entered wearing a long cape
carried by dancers, fumbled with the garment and
fell backward down several
stairs during the song, which
includes a lyric about stumbling.
The song continues "I'm
gonna carry on" and she
did, continuing the matador-themed routine.
Afterwards, she posted on
Instagram that her cape had
been tied too tightly, but
said: "I'm fine!"
Elsewhere there were few
surprises at the awards,
which recognize international stars along with
homegrown British talent.
Tousle-haired singer Sheeran won prizes for best British
male solo artist and British
album of the year, for "X."
Soulful crooner Smith won
trophies for British breakthrough act and global success.
"Since I was a little kid I
dreamed of people all over
the world singing my songs,"
Smith said. "This shows I'm
stepping in the right direction."
Tw e n t y - t w o - y e a r - o l d
Smith won four Grammys
earlier this month, including
record of the year for "Stay
With Me."
Smith was sultry and

Sheeran was sensible, but

West provided a dose of raw
energy. He performed his
raw, grime-influenced new
song "All Day," whose lyrics, peppered with expletives
and the n-word, were muted
for the show's live TV broadcast.
West has said his new
clothing line was influenced
by the 2011 London riots,
and the performance also
had an urban-unrest feel,
involving dozens of dancers
and a giant flamethrower.
It has been a big year for
British music, with Smith
storming the Grammys
and artists like Sheeran,
baby-faced
singer-songwriter George Ezra and the
still-ubiquitous One Direction making waves.
The Brits were once renowned for chaos, enlivened
by incidents including a 1992
stunt in which British band
the KLF left a dead sheep
at the after-show dinner.
But the ceremony has been
transformed in recent years
into a slick talent showcase.
West aside, the tone of the
evening was accomplished
but not edgy, opening with a
sleekly saucy performance of
"Blank Space" by a black-clad
Taylor Swift.
Swift was named best international female artist, while
"Happy" hit-maker Pharrell
Williams was named best
international male act, and
Foo Fighters won the trophy
for best international group.
Mark Ronson's "Uptown
Funk" took the prize for best
British single.

COMMENTARY
Jayhawks need to
put February in
the past

Evan Riggs

@EvanRiggs15

obody should be
more excited for
the calendar to
read March than the Kansas
Jayhawks. The Jayhawks are
struggling this February,
limping to a 4-3 record with
one game remaining. Despite
not playing well for most of
the month, the Jayhawks have
shown how talented they
are, because they have had a
chance to win in each of their
losses.
Kansas has not played a complete game since Feb. 2, when
it had an 89-76 home victory
over the Iowa State Cyclones.
But it still has the time and the
pieces to right the ship.
Coach Bill Self is no stranger
to seeing his team struggle in
February. In 2013, they went
5-3 in February and 26-3 in
every other month. In 2008,
which is the year they won the
NCAA Championship, the
Jayhawks were 5-2 in February
and 32-1 in every other
month.
February, which is often
referred to as the dog days of
the college basketball season,
is a common time for teams
to hit skids. Players often look
ahead to March, and who can
blame them? College basketball fans look forward to the
NCAA Tournament all season.
Now imagine being a 19- or
20-year-old kid on a tournament team and how hard it
must be to not look ahead.
For a young team like
Kansas, what its experiencing
isnt that surprising. Underclassmen Frank Mason III,
Cliff Alexander and Brannen
Greene are all crucial to the
Jayhawks success, and they all
have struggled this month.
Through the end of January,
Mason was the most consistent player the Jayhawks had.
He is still passing and rebounding well, but has struggled to score as effectively this
month. He averages 10 points,
two below his season average,
on 42 percent shooting, which
is 3 percent below his season
average.
Greene, who was on fire
in January from the three, is
shooting just 39 percent this
month, which is well below his
season average of 48 percent.
Alexanders biggest problem has been staying on the
court. Whether it is due to
foul trouble or not playing up
to Self s standards, Alexander
is averaging just 14 minutes
per game this month, three
minutes below his season
average. He is averaging 12
rebounds and three blocks per
40 minutes, and the Jayhawks
have struggled in those areas
when hes on the bench.
Despite some key players
struggling, the Jayhawks were
in the position to win in all
three losses two of them to
top 25 opponents and one to
a rival. The pieces are clearly
there, and if they play to their
potential, they can beat anybody. With Self at the helm,
that seems very likely.

Junior sprinter excels

BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN

G.J. MELIA
@gjmelia

Like many athletes, junior

All-Conference
sprinter
Rhavean Kings world revolves around her sport. But
when she completes her education at Kansas, her career
will continue off the track.
King will graduate with a
degree in political science
this May, a year early. She will
then attend the University of
Kansas Law School, as well as
using her final year of eligibility on the track team running
the 4x400 meter relay team,
800-meter and 400-meter.
It just kind of fell into
place, King said. After I
did that first year of summer
school, and then I did the
second summer of summer
school going into my sophomore year, thats when my
adviser told me, Hey, youre
on track to graduate [early].
Coming into her freshman
year, King was already ahead
in credit hours. She went to
Ridgeway High School in
Memphis, Tenn., where she

was an International Baccalaureate (IB) scholar. King

said that IB classes were similar to Advanced Placement
(AP) classes, and she was able
to have eight credits of English and Spanish transfer to
Kansas.
In addition to her eight
hours entering college, King
has taken class in the summer
each of her three years at Kansas. She also has taken around
16 to 17 hours a semester, another reason she will be able
to graduate early.
The biggest thing [graduating early] has prepared me
for is the discipline to know
that Im going to be extremely
busy, King said.
King has heard all the difficulties the first year of law
school can carry, but she said
it will only more prepare her
for the real world.
The No. 1 thing every student athlete has and is able
to do, is time management,
King said. So that, and my
discipline is what I feel like
is going to help me transition into that first year of law

school.
One thing King said she
had to learn coming into college was how to communicate with professors in order
to stay on top of her studies
during the track season. The
team can miss up to three
days in a specific week in the

spring. On road trips, King

takes her schoolwork with her
and stays up to date with her
professors.
Its about taking every opportunity to make sure youre
on top of your studies, King
said.
Shawn Alexander, a professor of African-American
Studies and one of Kings former professors, said King was
always incredibly engaged

during class.
There are many students
that can [participate in class],
and do it well, but theres an
enthusiasm, a directness that
she has, Alexander said. She
brings the same determination and skill and enthusiasm to the classroom that she
brings to the track.
Sophomore Adriana Newell
has competed on the same
4x400 meter relay team with
King for the past two years.
She takes pride in being
a leader, Newell said. Our
success is her success. She
kind of leads by example.
Like, you dont ever see Rhavean doing nothing. She takes
what she does on the track
and academically very seriously.
King was an All-Big 12 Performer in 2014, and named to
the Academic All-Big 12 First
Team. She was also a part of
the Fall Big 12 Commissioner
and Athletic Directors Honor
Rolls.
I think she sets a great example for our other athletes,
Kansas track and field coach

Stanley Redwine said. Leaders stand out, and she has

found a way to stand out. Shes
just a great person to have
around the team.
King is also in the Marine Corps Platoon Leaders
Course Law Program. The
summer between her second
and third year of law school
at Kansas, King will go to
Officer Candidate School in
Quantico, Va., for 10 weeks.
Upon completion of the program, she will be a second
lieutenant in the Marines.
She will return to Kansas for
her final year of law school,
and after graduation she will
attend Marine Basic School
for six months. After Basic
school, King will go to Naval Justice School in Rhode
Island for 10 weeks to learn
military law.
At the conclusion of Naval
Justice School, she will be assigned her case as a United
States Marine Corps Judge
Advocate General, which
King says is her dream job.

When the chips are down.

When the lights are on.
When its now or never.
You can throw in just about
any clich when the Jayhawks
take on the Wildcats, and itll
work. With one of the biggest
crowds of the year on hand,
the Jayhawks had an opportunity to get their first win
against the Wildcats in Allen
Fieldhouse since Jan. 2, 2013.
However, the visitors from
Manhattan were not about
to roll over, as theyd go on to
win by a final score of 55-48.
We fought back [and I]
thought the effort was good,
said senior guard Natalie
Knight in the postgame press
conference. We just made

some boneheaded mistakes

at the end.
The Jayhawks jumped out
to a quick start, scoring six
of the first eight points in the
game. Kansas forward Chelsea Gardner looked like she
was primed for a big-time
performance after she connected on a couple of 12-foot
jumpers, but the Wildcats did
a good job of slowing down
the game.
Over the next seven-anda-half minutes, the Jayhawks
would score two points and
commit five turnovers, while
shooting just 1-of-11 from
the field. However, it was
very much still a game as the
Jayhawks defense had been
near perfect in that stretch,
as there was little separation
between the two teams.

As the half came to a close,

Kansas States Haley Texada
knocked down a couple of
triples. A game that felt like
it had been incredibly close,
suddenly didnt look that way
on the scoreboard, as the
Wildcats led 28-21.

We fought back [and I]

thought the effort was good.
We just made some boneheaded mistakes at the end.
NATALIE KNIGHT
Senior guard

As the second half started

off, it was a back-and-forth
affair, as each team had moments where it looked like

theyd run away with the

game. In fact, with 9:21 left to
play in the game, the margin
differed by just a single point
more than it was at half, as
the Wildcats held an eightpoint lead.
Then came the run.
Over the next six minutes,
the Jayhawks went on a 10-0
run to take the lead, following a three-point bomb from
Knight, but it was the defense
that really stepped up in a
big way. Gardner had four
huge blocks inside the paint
to keep the Wildcats off the
board, as momentum swung
completely to the side supported by the crimson and
blue.
I thought Gardner was
great in the second half, said
Kansas State head coach Jeff

Mittie after the game. Defensively, she really limited

our posts.
However, down the stretch,
the Jayhawks simply ran out
of gas, as the Wildcats closed
out the contest on a 15-6
run. With the loss, Kansas
dropped to 13-16 on the year
and 4-12 in Big 12 play, following a promising non-conference slate.
When asked what the loss
meant for the rest of the
season, Kansas head coach
Bonnie Henrickson quickly
responded, with a half-smile
and a wink.
It means were playing on
Saturday at Oklahoma at seven. That I feel certain theyll
still let us do.

Jayhawks head to Florida for Snowbird Classic

KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer

Kansas baseball heads south

yet again to play in the Snowbird
Classic in Port Charlotte, Fla.,
Feb. 26- March 1.
The Jayhawks will be going up
against four different teams this
weekend: Chicago State (Feb.
26), North Dakota State (Feb.
27), Northeastern (Feb. 28) and
Boston College (March 1). This
is the second weekend in a row
the Jayhawks will play four different teams.
Pitching continues to be an
area of concern for the Jayhawks
as the team has surrendered 51
earned runs so far this season
compared to their opponents 28.
The numbers arent very fun
to look at right now, associate
coach Ryan Graves said.
The Jayhawks are still feeling
pain after losing the teams top
four pitchers to the pros, and
filling those spots with developing young players. Graves em-

phasized how much the young

pitching staff needs to work on
pitching with runners on base.
Pitching with runners on and
pitching with runners in scoring
position are where our numbers
are really bad, Graves said.
Pitching out of the stretch has

Theyre learning how fast

this game can be at this
level, but at the same time I
dont see any of them shying
away from competition.
RYAN GRAVES
Associate baseball coach

been problematic so far for the

Jayhawks, and the statistics reflect the problem. Although the
Jayhawks offense has produced
only two fewer hits than its opponents, it has scored 16 fewer
total runs.

Graves is confident in the talent he has, despite the early season woes.
Theyre learning how fast this
game can be at this level, but at
the same time I dont see any of
them shying away from competition, Graves said.
While the pitching staff gains
more appearance, the veteran offense will look to continue their
success at the plate this season.
Seniors Blair Beck and Connor
McKay are hitting batting averages of .400 and .407 respectively and have 10 of the teams
33 RBIs. Colby Wright has also
stood out for the Jayhawks this
season, reaching base on over
half of his trips to the plate.
The Jayhawks will look to
showcase their development as
they kick off the Snowbird Classic at 1 p.m. Thursday at North
Charlotte Regional Park.

Track and field prepares

for Big 12 Championships
GJ MELIA
@gjmelia

The Kansas mens and

womens track and field teams
are set to head up to Ames,
Iowa for the Big 12 Indoor
Championships after having
last week off.
Before last week, the
Jayhawks took part in
competitive meets in Ames
and Fayetteville, Ark., on Feb.
13-14. Head coach Stanley
Redwine was content with
performances and said the
meets were solid preparation
for the conference meet this
weekend.
The
competition
was
great, and that gave us a
better reality of where we
really stood not just within
in our league, but within
the nation, Redwine said.
We did have some people
that did extremely well, and
some areas that showed that
we need to continue to get
better.
For the athletes who
competed in Ames, Redwine
said familiarity with the
facility could help them this

weekend. Redwine also said

the extra week to prepare will
give the athletes and coaches
time to evaluate film and
figure out what the athlete
needs to focus on specifically
in their training.
Each athlete may need
different things in order to
get them (fully prepared),
Redwine said. If youre a
stronger athlete and you need
speed work, then well focus
on the speed work, but not
so much that its going to tire
you out.
Kansas is able to take 26
athletes on both the mens
and womens teams for a total
of 52 to compete on Friday
and Saturday. The teams of
26 athletes will be announced
this afternoon.
Friday will get underway
with the majority of the
pentathlon and heptathlon
events, beginning at 10 a.m.
with the womens 60-meter
hurdles. The pentathletes and
heptathletes will have the
track until 3 p.m., concluding
their day with the womens
800-meter run.
The field events begin at

3 p.m. also, as the womens

weight throw and pole vault
athletes look for their shot at
a Big 12 Championship. Both
the mens and womens mile
will start the day for the track
events. Friday will end with
the mens and womens finals
in the 5000-meters and the
distance medley relay.
Saturday will be essentially
the same format as Friday,
with final events instead of
preliminaries throughout the
day. The meet will close with
the 4x400 meter relays at 5:10
p.m., followed by the awards
ceremony at 6 p.m.
This is the third year in a
row and seventh time overall
the Lied Recreation Center of
Iowa State will host the Big 12
Championships.
Last year Oklahoma State
grabbed the team title on
the mens side, while Texas
claimed its sixth womens
Big 12 title. In 2013, Texas
took home the mens team
title and the Kansas women
won their lone team Big 12
Championship.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

ON THE
REBOUND
Kansas looks to hook the Longhorns on Saturday
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
Junior Perry Ellis lines up between two Kansas State players during a free throw during Mondays game in Manhattan. Saturday, Kansas will host Texas for College Gameday.

BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein

Following an away loss to

Kansas State on Monday
night, Kansas will host Texas
at home this Saturday for
College Gameday. The Jayhawks are currently atop the
Big 12 by only half a game,
with three games remaining.
Junior forward Perry Ellis
has recorded 20-plus points
in back-to-back games. Ellis has led the way for Kansas recently and will look to
have a strong performance
against Texas. Ellis scored 14
points in Kansas 75-62 victory against the Longhorns
earlier this season. Ellis now
leads Kansas in scoring with
14 points per game and also
leads the team with seven rebounds per contest.
Sophomore guard Frank
Mason III is the only other Jayhawk who averages
double-digit scoring with

12.1 points and a team-high

4.3 assists, as well. Mason
has struggled recently after
having scored double-digit
points in 19 straight games.
Sophomore guard Brannen
Greene has struggled recently as well, as he has only hit
two threes in his four previous games. Greene will need
to heat up from behind the
arc if Kansas is to succeed in
March.
Texas guard Isaiah Taylor
recorded 23 points in the
teams previous matchup on
8-of-17 shooting. Taylor was
7-of-8 from the free-throw
line while only turning the
ball over one time. Freshman
phenom Myles Turner struggled against Kansas, fouling
out with only eight points.
Taylor has led Texas in
scoring this season, averaging 11.2 points per game on
40 percent shooting from the
field and adding a team-high
16 assists. Turner averages

11.2 points and a team-high

6.5 rebounds. He also leads
the team with 74 blocks.
Texas has lost three games
in a row and has dropped
seven of its past 10 games,
coming into play with a 1711 record and a 6-9 Big 12
mark. The Longhorns have
been virtually eliminated
from the Big 12 regular season title race.
Kansas defeated Texas
the last time the two teams
played on College Gameday.
Mario Chalmers number
was retired at halftime, following a speech reflecting on
his time at Kansas.
The Jayhawks have been
struggling as of late and need
to right the ship if they are to
win the Big 12 for the 11th
straight season. Next up,
Kansas will host West Virginia at home on Tuesday,
March 3.

KANSAS
TIPOFF
JEFFREY KAPLAN
@jkap22

AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks come home for two
important Big 12 games as the
regular season winds down. After a tough loss at Kansas State,
the Jayhawks are focused to keep
the Big 12 trophy in Lawrence
and shut down Texas chance at
spoiling any of those chances.
The Jayhawks have a half-game
lead over Iowa State in the current
standings but must be locked in
to get this win against Texas on
Saturday and to focus on the last
two remaining games.

PLAYER TO WATCH

Frank Mason III

sophomore, guard
Mason leads the team in assists (4)
and is second in points (12). As the
unquestionable leader of this team,
Mason will need to keep moving the
ball around the floor and make the Texas defense tired. Dissecting the Texas
zone will prove that Mason will excel in
this game. Quick passes after sharp
drives by Mason will make for the easiest and most consistent points for the
Jayhawks to wear down the zone and
minds of the Longhorns.

QUESTION MARK

Can big man

Cliff Alexander
stay on the floor?

Alexander will be extremely important for the matchup against

the Longhorns on Saturday. Described as the biggest frontcourt
in the Big 12, Alexander need to
be up to the task to guard both
Miles Turner and Cameron Ridley and stay out of foul trouble.
Serving as the biggest body
on the Jayhawk lineup, he and
Landen Lucas will need to step
up big on Saturday to not let the
Longhorns dominate the paint
with easy points and rebounds.

KANSAS

No. 8
(22-6, 11-4)

`
`

TEXAS

(17-11, 6-9)

PROJECTED STARTERS

PROJECTED STARTERS

Wayne Selden Jr., sophomore, guard

Selden seems to be playing better at home than on the road
recently. Averaging 11.2 points per game in conference
games at home, Selden looks to improve his three-point
shot and become more of a centerpiece of the Jayhawk
offense. Keep an eye out for Selden to dish the ball off to
anyone else near the hoop as he delivers the second most
assists on the team.

Isaiah Taylor, sophomore, guard

Isaiah Taylor will not shy away from contact on his way to the
basket and consistently gets himself to the foul line three to
four times a game.Taylor is also turnover-prone, averaging
2.5 a game to 4.4 assists. Against Kansas, Taylor finished
with 23 points.

Frank Mason III, sophomore, guard

With a weak showing at Kansas State, Mason aims to
redeem himself back on home turf. If Mason can produce
multiple assists along with consistent scoring, he will pose
as the biggest dual threat to the Longhorns. Watch for
Mason to push the ball, break down Texas zone and keep its
big men always on their toes.

Kendal Yancy, sophomore, guard

The 6-foot-3 guard is the lone change to the starting lineup
used in the last matchup with Kansas. His breakout performance came against Iowa State, where he scored 29 points on
6-of-9 three-point shooting. Yancy shoots 33.3 percent from
deep on the year and is an 80.6 percent foul-shooter.

Kelly Oubre Jr., freshman, guard

With the exception of the game against TCU, Oubre has
proved himself as the man to guard when the Jayhawks are
at home. Since being named a starter, Oubre has produced
double digits in all but two of his home starts. Oubre is top
three on the team in steals and rebounds, making him an
important piece to the Jayhawks winning formula.

Jonathan Holmes, senior, forward

Jekyll and Hyde-like, Holmes will score 20-plus points one
night, only to follow up with a goose egg the next. Against
Kansas, Holmes scored 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting. In all,
Holmes averages 10.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.

Perry Ellis, junior, forward

Ellis tied his season high scoring total with 24 points against
Kansas State. Ellis has consistently scored in double digits
in 11 of the Jayhawks last 12 games, as well as grabbed
an average of nearly eight rebounds in those twelve games.
Getting Ellis going fast will be the key to breaking down Texas
and wearing down the zone.

Connor Lammert, junior, forward

Lammert is not a major scoring threat, but he shoots well
for his size. Dont be surprised to see him step back and
fire away from deep. However, Lammert has been in a minor
shooting slump as of late, making just two of his last nine.

.410

Kansas is currently on a 22-game

win streak at home.

BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF

The whole Jayhawk team can get
off to a strong start and win the
battle on the boards. The Jayhawks are going to need to out-rebound the Longhorns to separate
themselves on the scoreboard.
Getting off to a strong start and
pushing the ball down the floor at
a quick pace will set the tone for
the game and take the Longhorns
out of the game.

AT A GLANCE

This past offseason, Texas, not

Kansas, topped many pundits
preseason predictions. Texas
returned the nucleus of its
team and also added Myles
Turner, while the Kansas lost
the nations most explosive
player in the country and their
best big man. Neither of those
things matter now. Since its
75-62 loss to Kansas in Austin,
on Jan. 24, when the Longhorns
were ranked No. 17, Texas has
lost six of its past nine games.

Myles Turner
freshman, forward

The true freshman has not

cracked the starting lineup, but
that hasnt kept him from putting
up solid numbers. In 22.6 minutes
per game, Turner hits 46.6 percent
of his shots, good for 11.2 points
per game. Hes a 30 percent threepoint shooter and the leagues
fourth best free-throw shooter
(83.2 percent). Turner also leads
the Big 12 in blocked shots (2.64).
Against Kansas, Turner finished
with eight rebounds, five blocks
and eight points, but fouled out.

QUESTION MARK

If not Perry Ellis,

then who?

In Monday nights loss in

Manhattan, the Jayhawks got
all of three points from post
players outside of Perry Ellis.
Kansas State began double-teaming Ellis on the block,
and nobody emerged after Ellis
was neutralized. For Kansas to
earn at least a share of the Big
12, itll need auxiliary help from
its bigs: Landen Lucas, Jamari
Traylor and Cliff Alexander. That
will also be paramount in a few
weeks for a satisfactory run
by Kansas standards in the
NCAA tournament.

-4.11

Texas holds the conferences worst

turnover margin, forcing the least
turnovers in the Big 12 (9.2) and
turning the ball over the second
most (13.3).

Kansas leads the Big 12 in threepoint percentage in conference

play.

22

@udk_dan

BY THE NUMBERS

Kansas is a projected No. 2 seed in

the NCAA tournament.

DAN HARMSEN

PLAYER TO WATCH

BY THE NUMBERS

TEXAS
TIPOFF

Cliff Alexander, freshman, forward

Alexander is coming off of a brutal scoreless game at
K-State. Still a starter, Alexander needs to find ways to set
screens and roll to the hoop for easy layups or dunks to be
effective. Foul trouble comes easily and often for Alexander,
but as hes the second leading rebounder on the team, the
Jayhawks need to get as many minutes out of Alexander as
possible.

Cameron Ridley, junior, center

Ridley is a force down low, averaging 5.1 rebounds per
game and blocking 1.6, the third most in the Big 12. His
defensive prowess is not as daunting as last year, but fewer
teams seem to be challenging him as his fouls are down
by 1.1.

Prediction:

Kansas 85 Texas 68

Texas is the fifth-ranked rebounding

team in the nation, averaging 40.3
per game.

36

As a team, Texas holds opposing

teams to 36.6 percent shooting from
the field, leading the Big 12.

BABY JAY WILL CRY IF

Kansas doesnt value and protect

the basketball. In the first meeting between these two teams,
Kansas turned the ball over just
three times, tied for the fewest in
program history (1966 vs. Iowa
State). Although itd be a little
wishful thinking to expect that
kind of performance again, keeping the turnover number below 10
would help a backcourt that has
had issues since the West Virginia
loss.

COACHES EMBRACE THE TRADITION OF ALLEN FIELDHOUSE

Kyle Pappas
@KylePap
This story previously ran on
Oct. 28, 2014.
All four of Kansas
basketballs living coaches
gathered
inside
Allen
Fieldhouse on Monday
night to celebrate the 60th
anniversary of basketball
inside the Phog. It was the
first time ever that the four
have reunited publicly.
With 50 of the Phogs

readily on display.
Most of the years I
coached, it was a dirt floor,
and it was elevated above,
former coach Ted Owens
said. The real problem was,
for some reason, they didnt
put the floor in until the day
before we started practice.
Owens said that before
the floor was installed,
his players were forced to
hold workouts at nearby
Robinson
Gymnasium.
Recruits? They were treated
with what Owens described
as a big ol barn during

technology has improved,

the game has evolved, and
tens of millions of dollars
are annually pumped into
college basketball programs.
With these changes has
come a challenge: finding
a way to maintain the
unparalleled history of
Allen Fieldhouse while
still equipping it with the
modernity required to woo
recruits and fans alike.
What weve done, and
what a lot of bright minds
have done, is taken a very
historic place, a treasure,

But you know, the fact that after all these years nothings really changed its all about the basketball court
and the people that are in it.

BASKETBALL COACH

impressive to anyone that is
able to step inside the halls

Self is still committed to
keeping the integrity of
the way the building was
originally meant to be built.
While other programs
have abandoned their old
facilities in favor of newer,
more aesthetically pleasing
ones, Kansas has embraced
its home, its tradition, and
its story.

60th anniversary celebration Oct. 27, 2014.

trying to plow one field

and put one up before the
next one gets up beside it,
former coach Roy Williams
said.
The Phog has come a long
way from the big ol barn
that Owens spoke of, but the
tradition and history that
has graced the building since
1955 hasnt gone anywhere.
While some things have
undeniably changed, more

has stayed the same.

To see whats been done
to it since I left, you know,
Ive been fortunate enough,
Bill [Self]s kept me in the
loop and brought me back
numerous times, said
former coach Larry Brown.
But you know, the fact that
after all these years nothings
really changed its all
about the basketball court
and the people that are in it.

Q&A
G.J. MELIA
@gjmelia
McKinnon Walsh,
freshman from Shawnee:

What is your favorite

memory of Allen
Fieldhouse?

Id say my best memory

of Allen Fieldhouse was
this year during the
Florida game when we
were down 18. Me and my
friends body painted and
we were super excited for
the game. We were really
disappointed at halftime,
but then the Jayhawks
came back and they
were able to pull it out.
The entire stadium was
electric. It was awesome.

What makes a
basketball game in
Allen Fieldhouse
different from
anywhere else?

Just thinking about how

many people have been in
here, how many legends
have played on that
court, how many current
stars, how many former
stars. Wilt Chamberlain
played here, Phog Allen,
of course; we named it
after him. Hes a legend.
And Bill Self for one, hes
keeping this program
alive.

What does the

camping tradition say
about the students?

I think the fact that we

are this dedicated to our
program shows that we are

Allen
Fieldhouse
the best student section
in America definitely.
We are very dedicated to
our team, just like they
appreciate us cheering
them on while theyre
playing. You know, we are
very proud of our stadium;
its the best stadium in
college basketball. Its
the cathedral, its the
Sistine Chapel of college
basketball.
Brett Landrum,
sophomore from
Geneva, Ill.:

Do you have a
favorite game in
Allen Fieldhouse?

Id honestly say TCU

last year. We beat them
really bad and it was my
first game. Wiggins went
off, and we just destroyed
them.

What makes a
basketball game in
Allen Fieldhouse
different from
anywhere else?

The crowd is like

always into the games.
You obviously can tell that
the players get that vibe
from the crowd, and once
the players are feeling that
vibe, the crowd like gets
into it and builds that
atmosphere.

Whats the best

part about watching
a game in Allen
Fieldhouse?

Everybody really gets

into it, and thats the best
part about it because it

brings the school together.

And
then
obviously
people are camping really
early in the morning.
It just shows a ton of
dedication.

just kind of introduced me
to the sport of basketball
and I just watched all the
games with him. I havent
really missed many games.
I watch pretty much all of
them. Its a big part of my
life. I really enjoy it.

What makes a
basketball game in
Allen Fieldhouse
different from

Just the atmosphere

of the people. Here,
its everyone chanting,
everyone yelling. Theres
no, I guess, cheap noises.
Its just the atmosphere
of everyone yelling and
having a good time.

What does the

camping tradition
say about the
students?
Just
that
were
dedicated.
We
love
basketball, we love the
team, we love each other.
We always get into it.
Were very accepting of

awesome feeling.

camping becomes staple of

kansas basketball tradition
UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES
Derek Skillett
@derek_skillett
The glory. The power.
The history. The legends.
The titles. The tradition.
These are the words that
flash across the video
board before tipoff at a
Kansas mens basketball
game. Words that incite
the students at Allen
Fieldhouse to explode
into
decibel-shattering
cheers. Students who spend
hours before the start of
the game camping get
the opportunity to be a
part of one of the greatest
student sections in college
basketball.
Since its establishment
during the Larry Brown
era in the 1980s, students

camping for basketball

games has become an
increasingly
popular
tradition at the University.
The lottery and camping
system has helped create an
organized way for students
to get involved in forming
one of the best home-court
advantages in the country.
Mark Pacey, a graduate
student from Manhattan,
has been camping for
basketball games since he
was a sophomore in 2003.
Its definitely more
popular today. Back when
I first started, sometimes I
would be the only person at
lottery. That never happens
now, Pacey said. Its
definitely gotten a lot easier
for the groups with the
online stuff. Its definitely
gotten bigger.

Dylan Klohr, a junior

from
Overland
Park,
is a part of the camping
leadership team. He said he
started camping when he
was a freshman.
I was invited by a couple
of my friends to camp,
Klohr said. Being at KU
and having basketball
games is a big part of what
KU is about.
Klohr took over camping
near the middle of Kansas
conference schedule of
games. He said while
there are other organized
camping groups around the
country, there is something
special about Kansas that
makes its camping system
unique.
It has a lot of history
behind it. Just being at the
place where basketball

started, having history is

everything, Klohr said.
Our history is what makes
it unique. Its part of what
makes KU basketball as fun
as it is. Lining up all week,
going to lottery, it proves

homecoming, Pacey said.

Thats pretty big.
Klohr
echoed
these
sentiments.
It is one of the best
known traditions in regards
to KU basketball, Klohr

of the best environments

for college basketball. It
gives the students freedom
to participate in one of the
top programs in college
basketball.
Eventually,
camping could even be seen

It has a lot of history behind it. Just being at the place

where basketball started, having history is everything,
DYLAN KLOHR, JUNIOR FROM OVERLAND PARK
the interest of the students
that theyre proud of their
program.
Pacey said he believes
basketball camping has
become
a
University
tradition.
Id say we have about
as much participation as

said. I was told all the way

in junior high school that
camping was going on at
KU. My parents used to talk
to me about how camping
happened back in the 80s.
There is little doubt that
camping out for basketball
games has helped create one

as akin to waving the wheat

and the Rock Chalk chant
as one of the top traditions
of a University built on
tradition.

concerns about camping,

Through Maxs eyes

I thought, What the hell, I should have
stayed two more years.
MAX FALKENSTIEN,
RETIRED RADIO ANNOUNCER
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
Max Falkenstien reminisces on all of the games he has witnessed in Allen Fieldhouse. Falkenstien was a sports radio announcer from 1946-2006.

Amie Just
@Amie_Just
Max Falkenstien has seen
it all.
Hes been there for the
euphoria of celebrations
and for the agony of defeats.
He was close with Forrest
Phog Allen and many
coaches,
players
and
staff members who have
been through the Kansas
basketball program since
then.
It has been nearly 70
years since Falkenstien
started his announcing
career. He has thousands
of memories that surround
Allen Fieldhouse, but one
overarching theme sticks
out the most.
Allen Fieldhouse is
the site of so many great
memories and so many
great athletes and the
relationships that Ive built
up with so many guys over
the years, Falkenstien said.

When they come back,

like Nick Collison the other
night, Kenny Gregory
earlier in the season, and
to see Joel Embiid come up
with a big smile on his face
and give me a hug, those
are the great feelings that I
treasure.
The
storied
sports
radio announcer called
approximately 1,775 games
for Kansas basketball and
850 games for Kansas
football.
Falkenstien said he had
just returned from World
War II when he called his
first game.
It turned out to be
Kansas versus Oklahoma
A&M (now Oklahoma
State) in 1946 in the NCAA
Tournament in Kansas
City, Falkenstien said.
They had one of the first
of the seven-footers, Bob
Kurland, playing for them
and they beat Kansas. The
next Monday I went back

to school here at KU and

my mathematics professor
said, We listened to the
game the other night and
you made us feel like we
were there.
For the first several years
of Falkenstiens career,
Kansas basketball played
in Hoch Auditoria (now
Budig Hall), which could
seat about 3,000 people.
Students could only go to
every other game because it
was so small.
THE EARLY DAYS OF
THE PHOG
In 1950, Kansas State
unveiled Ahearn Field
House, but Allen wanted
something even more
impressive
for
the
University.
He, of course, put
pressure on the Kansas
Legislature
to
give
Kansas an even bigger
arena than Kansas State,
Falkenstien said. After a

long construction period

in March of 1955, Allen
Fieldhouse was opened.
The first game in Allen
Fieldhouse had a lot riding
on it. It was a rivalry game
against Kansas State, and
Kansas hadnt performed
well at home that season.
It was the final conference
home game for Kansas, and
17,288 people showed up,
Falkenstien said.
Kansas
won
77-67.
The legendary homecourt advantage of Allen
Fieldhouse had begun.
In those days, Allen
Fieldhouse looked nothing
like it does today.
It had a dirt floor when
it opened up, Falkenstien
said. The court was
elevated and the players
had to step up onto the
court. Sometimes in their
quest to dive for a loose
ball they would even slide
off the edge of the court.
It didnt have any of the

grandeur that it has today.

It was dusty and kind of
dirty, but it was still kind of
a grandiose place to move
into after playing in Hoch
Auditoria.
The following season,
1955-56, was Allens last
season.
We always called him
Doc, Falkenstien said of
Allen.
The Phog nickname
hadnt come about yet, but
Falkenstien remembered
where it came from.
The nickname Phog
came from when he
umpired
softball
or
baseball,
Falkenstien
said. He would blare out
the balls and strikes in a
foghorn-like voice.
Falkenstiens
father
was the Kansas Athletics
business manager, and he
grew up knowing Allen.
Their close relationship
continued when he became
a broadcaster.

He was a very nice man

and was very inspirational,
Falkenstien said. He was
one of the [greatest] public
speakers of all time.
WILT THE STILT
Allens last season as
coach was also Wilt
Chamberlains freshman
debut.
We have a lot of sevenfooters now, but they dont
have the size that Wilt
had to go along with it,
Falkenstien said. In those
days, a seven-footer really
was a rarity.
Back then, freshmen
werent allowed to play with
the varsity team, but they
could play against them.
Falkenstien
said
Chamberlain scored 52
points against the varsity
team in its scrimmage. The
freshmen won.

SEE Max | 8

8 | KANSAN.COM
Manning
notched
2,951 career points the
best any player has ever
accomplished at Kansas by
a long shot. The next best is
Nick Collison, who totaled
2,097. Chamberlain had
1,433 career points, before
the three-point shot was
invented.
However, Chamberlain
still holds the record for
highest career scoring
average with 29.9 points
per game.
BEST OF THE REST
Even after his retirement
in 2006, Falkenstien said he
swears he has only missed
one game. Kansas has
played about 2,000 games
between 1946 and 2015.


 



Lasting Legacy



 




Despite being dominant

on the court, Falkenstien
said Chamberlain was very
different off of it.
Wilt was somewhat
reserved in his acceptance
of
other
people,
Falkenstien said. I think
he had built a protective
screen around himself
because he was so tall and
he didnt like the jokes
and the attention and
the notoriety that went
with his great size. People
would come up to him and
say, Hows the weather
up there, big boy? and
stuff like that. He wasnt
real fond of that type of
conversation.

Falkenstien
said
Chamberlain was one of
the best players Kansas has
ever seen. Only one other
rivaled him Danny
Manning.
While Wilt was the
most dominant player that
weve ever had because of
his size and just the way
he was a huge force on the
floor, as far as the most
skilled basketball player
goes, I still vote for Danny
Manning as the best,
Falkenstien said. Danny
was a great scorer, a great
passer, a great shot blocker,
and (he) made everybody
on the team so much better.
But Wilt had a dominance
in the game that nobodys
ever matched.

There have been a lot

of spectacular finishes and
some heartbreaks, too,
Falkenstien said.
The best game of all?
Without missing a beat,
Falkenstien said the final
game against Missouri in
2012.
There was just so much
emotion
involved
in
that game, Falkenstien
said. We were 17 points
behind at one stage and
made the great comeback.
T-Rob (Thomas Robinson)
blocked the shot at the
finish that preserved the
victory for KU. It was so
satisfying to make up that
huge deficit and beat the
hated Tigers in their last
visit ever to Lawrence,
Kansas.
There were two other
games that stick out
in Falkenstiens mind:
He
remembers
Bud
Stallworths 50 points in
his final game as a Jayhawk
in 1972. He smiled when
talking about the 1993
Indiana game when thenfreshman Jacque Vaughn
hit a three-pointer to win it
in overtime.
ENDING
HIS JOURNEY
March 1, 2006, wasnt just
any game for Falkenstien.
It was the last time he
would call a game in Allen
Fieldhouse.
As he made his way
toward his seat, the student
section held up newspapers
that read, Thanks, Max.
At halftime, many former
players came back and
stood with him on the court
as a jersey with the No. 60
was hung in the rafters.
I sort of thought they
might
do
something
special, but I didnt
anticipate having my jersey

hanging in the fieldhouse,

Falkenstien said. It was
a wonderful feeling to be
recognized up there with all
the great athletes who have
worn the KU crimson and
blue as a singular honor.
That was his last game
in Allen Fieldhouse, but
Falkenstien called four
more games that year before
the Jayhawks abruptly
ended their season against
Bradley in the first round
of the NCAA Tournament.
After Falkenstien retired,
he wrote a book, A Good

Place to Stop.
I had set a goal of
finishing 60 years and
thought that would be a
good place to put it to bed,
Falkenstien said. It turned
out that it was a terrible title
for my book because two
years after I quit, we won
the Orange Bowl and the
National Championship in
basketball in the same year.
I thought, What the hell,
I should have stayed two
more years. Then it really
would have been a good
place to stop.

27 jerseys highlight kansas success on the hardwood

UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES
Wilt Chamberlain is one of Kansas basketballs greats. In his first Kansas game, he scored 52 points.

Since its dedication in

1955, Allen Fieldhouse has
been home to many generations of Kansas basketball.
From Darnell Valentine to
Andrew Wiggins, from Bud
Stallworth to Paul Pierce,
there has been no shortage
of NBA-level talent playing
at home in the Phog, a place
where the names of the truly
great hang up in the rafters.
Many Kansas legends have
dramatically different backgrounds. Mario Chalmers,
the most recent member
of the retired-jersey club,
was given the distinction in
2013, following a well-documented three-year college
career. It was easy to see that
Chalmers was going to be a
special player right away, as
he averaged nearly 12 points
and four assists per game, in
addition to providing lockdown defense.
Chalmers numbers never
really differed by a significant margin, but as an allaround player, he was simply superb. After all, it isnt
luck that his career culmi-

nated in the 2008 National

Championship game when
he hit the game-tying shot
with 2.1 seconds left. The
rest is history.
It would be negligent to
talk about the Kansas legends and not talk about one
of the first Jayhawks to play
in Allen Fieldhouse: Wilt
Chamberlain. During his
time at Kansas, Chamber-

on that list, Paul Pierce, is

10 spots and 5,732 points
below Chamberlain. Chamberlain is also the NBAs
all-time leading rebounder.
Hes ahead of all active NBA
players by more than 9,000
rebounds.
Danny Manning gave
Kansas championships both
as a player in 1988 and a
coach in 2008. Manning

It would be negligent to talk about the

Kansas legends and not talk about
one of the first Jayhawks to play in
Allen Fieldhouse: Wilt Chamberlain.
lain absolutely dominated
the competition. In his first
varsity game in a Kansas
uniform,
Chamberlain
scored 52 points while racking up 31 rebounds, both of
which were school records.
While
Chamberlains
greatness extended all the
way to the NBA, where he
sits at fifth in total points
scored, behind only Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone,
Kobe Bryant and Michael
Jordan. The next Jayhawk

served as an assistant coach

from 2006-12, coaching the
Jayhawks to two national
championship appearances, but his time as a player
was far more memorable.

national
championship
(their fourth, counting preNCAA tournament Helms
championships).

Following his senior
campaign when he averaged nearly 25 points and
nine rebounds per game,
Manning became the first
Jayhawk to be the number
one overall pick in the NBA
draft when he was selected
by the Los Angeles Clippers.
Like the others whose
jerseys hang in the rafters,
Chalmers, Manning and
Chamberlain were all winners, but others have been a
big part of Kansas winning
ways, even without seeing
that individual recognition.
Sherron Collins became the
winningest player in Kansas history in 2010 with a
record of 130-19 before his
record was broken by Tyrel
Reed a couple of years later.
In college, Reed had a 13217 record and lost just one
game in Allen Fieldhouse.
Simply put, it would be
impossible to name every
Jayhawk who has contributed to the home dominance
that Kansas has experienced
decade after decade. Players like Kirk Hinrich, Nick
Collison, Brandon Rush
and Thomas Robinson
have seemed to filter in and
out, each making plenty of
unique memories along the
way.
Some of the greatest legends have been coaches, not
players, including current
coach Bill Self, who has suffered just nine losses in his
12 seasons at the University.
Self s winning percentage at
Allen Fieldhouse, which is
above 95 percent, continues
to be one of the most impressive accolades in all of
college basketball, and the
Jayhawks are just a couple
of home games away from
another perfect season in
the Phog.

Freshman guard Andrew Wiggins shoots a three-pointer in the
first half against Iowa State on Jan. 29, 2014.

When Kansas basketball fans think of the introduction video played

before the starting lineup announcement, they
think of the chills that run
down their spines.
The goose bumps feeling is what Douglas Shepperd, lead composer of
the Kansas mens basketball introduction videos,
is looking for when creating the ultimate introduction video. The feeling
needs to provide energy
for the fans, he said.
The video needs to
encompass the right
amount of history with a
mixture of what Shepperd
likes to call dope music.
He estimates the music is
80 percent of what makes

the video.
Its weird saying audio
is 80 percent of a video,
but in the environment
that its played and the
timing that its played, I
feel like the music coupled with the clips that
Kansas fans know and
love can throw it to the
next level, Shepperd said.
Thats when it gets super
exciting.
In 2005, when the videoboard debuted in the
Allen Fieldhouse, the
background music to the
introduction video was a
U2 hit, Where the Streets
Have No Name.
The song heard in todays video is Requiem for a Dream by Lux
Aeterna.
The Kansas players feed
off the crowds reaction
from the videos. Perry Ellis said he has a great time

watching the introduction videos before every

home game.
Just hearing the fans
get pumped up about it,
for highlights from all the
previous people that have
been here, it gets us motivated and gets us ready
for the game, Ellis said.
Every introduction video is set with the Chalmers miracle, the Paul
Pierce dunk and the closing moments of the 1988
national championship
game.
I cant think at the top
of my head the last time
we didnt use those guys
in [the video], Shepperd
said. Those guys almost
have to be in there.
The introduction video will undergo a fresh

video from 10
paint job for next season,
and Shepperd said the Mario Chalmers shot will never be left out of the video
because Marios shot is the
best or the biggest.
Even Bill Self recognizes
the role of the introduction
video. Self said he knows
which video clips are coming and he still gets excited.
I know exactly whats going to happen, Self said. I
know Paul Pierce is going
to go baseline and dunk it.
I know Mario (Chalmers)
is going to get a pitch-back
and make a three. Then
you obviously get a chance
to hear the Bob Davis
voice-over. Thats what gets

me excited.
At the end of the day
its all about the fans, and
Shepperd takes the most
pride from providing energy to the historic Allen
Fieldhouse.
I think its become part
of the game where people
are excited to see it, Shepperd said. [The fans] are
obviously there to see basketball, but yes you can say;
its become a small part of
the history where people
come in and say, Oh I want
to see the intro video. People can say the intro video
encompasses everything
Kansas basketball is, so its
a small part of the tradition
and history here.
