Next years Common Book
will hit close to home

literally.
Te Center of Everything,
by University professor Laura
Moriarty, set in the fctional
town of Kerrville, Kan., during
the 1980s, has been selected
as the 2014-2015 Common
Book.
Its the frst time that
weve chosen a book that was
written by a professor here at
KU, said Howard Graham
from the Ofce of First-Year
Experience. Tat lends itself
to the community aspect of
the goal in a really unique
way.
Incoming frst-year and
transfer undergraduate
students and faculty will
receive a copy. Graham said
this builds a community and
creates a shared academic
experience that helps students
transition into college.
Te novel, the frst fctional
Common Book, is a coming-
of-age story. It deals with
poverty, religion, evolution,
role models, family and
Reagan-era politics, following
the fctional character Evelyn
Bucknow from 10 years old
until going of to college.
Its not exactly a high-
concept plot, Laura Moriarty
said. Te readers who like it
tend to like it for the narrators
voice and the characters and
the ideas.
Moriarty is an English
professor and received her
undergraduate and masters
degrees at the University.
The University Daily Kansan:
What should KU students
who read Te Center of
Everything take away from it?
Laura Moriarty: I would never
want to tell a reader what he or
she should take away from my
book. But for me, the novel is
very much about a girl who, at
least when shes young, clings
to black-and-white thinking
as a survival skill. Tat kind of
thinking does serve her for a
while, when her circumstances
are pretty desperate. But as she
gets older, new experiences
encourage her to consider a

The policy faces many

faculty outrage, changes to
classroom settings

use of social media, discusses
rights as an employee, rights
to free speech
Policy faces backlash, starts

Te Kansas Board of Regents
approved an amendment to the
policy manual on Dec. 18 that
outlines improper use of social
media by University of Kansas
faculty and staf.
Te policy change comes
afer David Guth, a professor
of journalism, tweeted a
controversial message afer
the Washington Navy Yard
shooting on Sept. 16. Te
University placed Guth on
administrative leave and
returned afer a little over
a month to continue doing
administrative duties.
Tere was concern around
the susceptibility that allows
damage to the universities,
Breeze Richardson, associate
director of communications
and government relations, said.
Te Regents are hoping that
guidance is provided.
Te new changes give
the chancellor the right to
punish, suspend or terminate
faculty or staf based on
improper social media use.
Improper use is defned
as disclosing confdential
information, inciting violence
or communicating through
social media to accomplish an
employees ofcial duties.
Although the Regents
designed the policy to regulate
faculty and staf social media
use by taking into account
their right to free speech and
their role as employees, many
groups have fought against the
policy, including the American
Association of University
Professors and the Foundation
for Individual Rights in
Education, which say the
policy is a threat to academic
freedom. Faculty members
have also expressed concern
and disagreement with the
policy.
National rankings will be
adversely impacted as our
peers across the country will
expose their students to the
latest topics using the most
modern teaching tools, which
quite ofen employ social
media, Ron Barrett-Gonzalez,
associate professor of aerospace
engineering and president of
the AAUP Kansas Conference,
said. Given that the policy is
still in force, accreditation will
be challenged at best as many
accrediting organizations have
statements which insist upon
academic freedom.
Te challenge to academic
freedom could lead to issues
with hiring new faculty and
staf, as well as keeping current
members. Faculty members
also expressed concern that
the policy will afect their
lessons and change classroom
curriculum, which could hurt
students employability in the
future.
I hope that student and
alumni organizations will come
to realize what a grave threat
this policy is to them and their
fortunes and join us in resisting
it, Barrett-Gonzalez said.
Te Regents said that the
policy is not mandatory to
implement; it only gives
the University authority to
act if necessary. Chancellor
Bernadette Gray-Little plans
to approach the policy in the
same manner as other policies,
by collaborating with faculty
and staf.
With the working group
of faculty and staf looking
at revisions to the policy this
semester, in the interim if
there were to be an applicable
situation, the Chancellor
would involve faculty and staf
governance in establishing a
process to evaluate the situation
and make recommendations
about what actions, if any,
should be taken, Jack
Martin, director of strategic
communications for the Ofce
of Public Afairs, said.
Te Regents see the fexibility
of the policy as its strength
and has created a workgroup
to make any necessary
amendments. Te workgroup
will include Charles Epp,
professor of public afairs, and
Easan Selvan, associate director
of Information Technology
Services. Tey also welcome
any recommendations for
revisions to the policy, which
can be submitted to the
Governance Committee by
April.
Gray-Little has already begun
working with the Regents to
revise the policy to address
some of the facultys concerns.
With the help of Deanell
Reece Tacha, dean of law at
Pepperdine University, Gray-
Little has set up a dialogue for
faculty members on March 25
titled Data and Democracy:
What is Free Speech in the
Age of Social Media? which
she hopes will help shape the
conversations surrounding the
policy.
Te worlds communications
culture is undergoing a
dramatic shif in response
to new technologies that are
inspiring an evolution in
human interaction, raising
questions that range from
etiquette to employment law,
Gray-Little said in a memo to
faculty and staf. Given the
breadth of this issue, how KU
responds to this challenge must
involve the full participation
of our faculty and of our staf.
We look forward to working
with you and your elected
governance leaders to ensure
our universitys ideals are
upheld.

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY
Nonprot group works to reclaim roadways
ST. LOUIS A walk
down the six-mile city street
named for the Rev. Martin
Luther King Jr. yields plenty
of images that would sure-
ly unsettle the civil rights
leader: shuttered storefronts,
open-air drug markets and a
glut of pawn shops, quickie
check-cashing providers and
liquor stores.
Te urban decay along Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. Drive
in St. Louis can be found in
other major American cities,
from Houston and Milwau-
kee to the nations capital.
Its a national prob-
lem, said Melvin White, a
46-year-old postal worker
in St. Louis and founder of
a 3-year-old nonproft group
that is trying to restore
Kings legacy on asphalt. Dr.
King would be turning over
in his grave.
Nearly three decades into
the observance of Mondays
federal holiday, the continu-
ing decline of the most vis-
ible symbols of Kings work
has White and others calling
for a renewed commitment
to the more than 900 streets
nationwide named in the
Atlanta natives honor. Te
efort centers in St. Louis,
where the small nonproft
is working to reclaim MLK
roadways as a source of pride
and inspiration, not disap-
pointment over a dream de-
railed.
Whites goals are ambitious,
his resources admittedly
modest. A neighborhood
park is planned across the
street from the groups head-
quarters. An urban agricul-
ture project to encourage
residents to eat healthy and
grow their own food has
preliminary support from
nearby Washington Uni-
versity, one of the countrys
wealthiest private colleges.
Above all, Beloved Streets of
America wants to build the
community from the ashes
of what was once a thriving
retail corridor when White
was a child.
Te template can be found
just a mile away. Delmar
Boulevard, which saw a sim-
ilar decline, is now a vibrant
retail corridor packed with
restaurants, nightclubs, a
renovated movie theater and
a boutique hotel. Te renais-
sance earned Delmar recog-
nition in 2007 as one of 10
Great Streets in America by
the American Planning As-
sociation.
In some ways we racial-
ly profle these streets, said
Derek Alderman, author
of a 2007 study that found
a smaller disparity among
MLK-named streets and
other main streets than is
popularly portrayed. We
need to move beyond those
images and see what con-
crete lives and realities are
living on those streets.
More than 50 years afer
King led his march on Wash-
ington, communities large
and small still debate wheth-
er to rename local streets in
his honor. In Harrisonburg,
Va., city leaders recently
agreed to rename a street for
King over protests by some
residents. A similar debate
continues in High Point,
N.C., where a King street
proposal frst suggested two
decades ago remains up in
the air.

Convenience of cards bring certain consumer risks
CODY KUIPER
news@kansan.com
When Bryn Johnson reaches
into his wallet to pay for
something, chances are hes
grabbing plastic, not paper.
I dont feel comfortable car-
rying cash on me, Johnson,
a sophomore from Topeka,
said. If I got robbed and my
debit card got stolen, I could
just give the bank a call and
say Hey, can you cancel this
credit card, and my money
is safe. Whereas if you carry
cash people can just take that
and they suddenly have all
your money.
Johnson is not alone in his
decision to keep his cash out
of his wallet. According to Jav-
elin Strategy & Research, only
27 percent of all retail sales
were made with cash, and that
number is expected to fall to
23 percent by 2017.
Tis trend of not using cash
is particularly evident among
younger generations as well.
Te Mercator Advisory Group
found in a recent survey that
young adults are more likely
than other demographics to
use debit cards, prepaid credit
cards and forms of mobile
payments.
Professor Shu Wu, an asso-
ciate professor of economics
at the University of Kansas,
said its not surprising that
young adults would be more
attracted to forms of payment
other than cash.
People are always going to
use the most convenient and
least expensive means, Wu
said. But theres some sort of
learning curve when it comes
to using those I think, so older
generations still use cash or
personal checks.
Wu said the shif from using
cash and checks in transac-
tions can be benefcial to a lot
of businesses who no longer
need to pay the potential cost
of physically shipping a check
around the country. He also
added that a move toward
more debit and credit card use
can prove to be rewarding for
consumers as well.
Tink about the time you
spend traveling back and
forth from the ATM to the
grocery store. Tat adds up,
Wu said. People are going to
use new forms of technology
as you make them, and if its a
positive thing that reduces the
transaction cost its good for
both businesses and consum-
ers.
Teres another side to the
coin when it comes to debit
and credit card use, however.
In some cases, it can hurt the
consumer more than it helps.
In a 2011 study from the Jour-
nal of Consumer Research, a
team of economists found that
consumers who use debit and
credit cards are more apt to
make indulgent and sponta-
neous purchases. Wu says this
side efect can help business,
but it can potentially hurt
shoppers.
Tis might be some kind
of passive impact on peoples
propensity to consume, Wu
said. When peoples actions
are decreased, it would
encourage consumer activity
and it would make it more
prosperous for businesses, but
people might spend money on
things they dont really need
because they have that access
to savings.
Johnson added that his de-
cision to not carry cash ofen
means he needs to pay more
attention to his bank account.
Before I actually got a
debit card, I almost never
spent money, Johnson said.
But these days if its below a
certain dollar amount I dont
even realize Im spending
money. I constantly need to
be aware of how much Im
spending, because no one has
an infnite amount.
Tose who turn to cash more
than credit may have had
their choice validated over
this holiday season when a
data breach at Target exposed
millions of shoppers credit
card information. Te Secret
Service said hackers installed
malware to steal the informa-
tion on 40,000 of the retail
chains credit card machines
throughout the country,
afecting as many as 110 mil-
lion shoppers.
Despite its afect on consum-
er spending habits, card use
isnt always preferred by some
businesses. Aaron Marabel,
who has been a clerk at Love
Garden Sounds on 8th and
Massachusetts streets for 10
years, says sometimes small
businesses would rather shop-
pers leave their cards at home.
Te music store requires
transactions to be at least $5
if a customer would like to
pay with a card in order to
compensate for the percentage
credit companies take per
transaction.
Sometimes I ask people
simply if they wouldnt mind
getting cash if its below a
certain amount or buying an-
other item to bump it up, just
because credit card companies
are taking a cut every swipe,
Marabel said. Tats why
small businesses beneft from
cash or check sometimes.
Nevertheless, Marabel says
his desire for shoppers to use
cash doesnt mean he doesnt
cater to the stores young
shoppers desire to swipe their
cards.
I run this credit card ma-
chine all day, every day, and
I dont know how you would
stay in business if you didnt,
Marabel said. Cash is king,
but I recognize these are mod-
ern times and I dont want to
make people feel alienated.

FFA OF THE DAY
Every picture of Bill Self is a sele.

O
opinion
I
was sitting in my bathtub
last night browsing the
internet, as per my usual
post-work routine, when I
came across an article that
both intrigued and annoyed
me. Te article shouted,
Dont let your kids graduate
with these majors! Great ad-
vice, right? As I was reading,
I got so worked up the words
for this piece began spilling
out of my brain. But I was
tired, so while the words kept
spilling out, they were going
nowhere, instead splashing
in the tub and sinking down
the drain.
You see, Im 23, which is old
in college years. I dont have
the energy that I used to. Af-
ter taking a full-time job over
breaks, my life has become a
monotonous interchange of
peaks and valleys. Except the
peaks are being rushed, and
the valleys are being tired. Im
constantly in a rush to get to
work, to get home, to get to
bed and Im constantly tired
in between. And constantly
unhappy.
Nobody should tell you
what to do with your life, and
if they do you shouldnt listen.
Te problem is that you and
your parents dont have the
same outlook on success. As
a kid, your idea of success
is happiness, whatever that
may be. Maybe its painting
or flmmaking or working at
an accounting frm hey
bruh, do you. But for your
parents, success is a totally
diferent story. Success as a
parent means raising a kid,
who goes to college, secures
a stable job and becomes a
generally productive member
of society. No parent wants to
be shouldered with the guilt
(or judgment from neigh-
bors) that their child grew up
to be a stripper, starving artist
or street musician. Its not
something to brag about to
their co-workers.
Consider my story: for 23
years Ive followed the advice
of my parents to pursue a
career in law. Its not that they
rammed the idea down my
throat, but they suggested
it and I was too lazy to try
anything else. Currently thats
what Im doing, and I can tell
its just not my passion. Im
bored every day. You dont
want to be bored every day of
your life.
Im sure most of you are
thinking, Just quit. If only
it were that easy. It only took
one idea to start down the
road that Im on, but the road
has evolved. Going into law
was only my parents idea at
frst, but like anything young
and fertile, the idea grew.
My parents planted the seed.
My grandparents watered it.
My aunts and uncles gave it
sunlight and fresh air. Soon
my friends were involved,
throwing in Miracle-Gro
and manure alongside career
counselors and professional
advice-givers. Te road I
started down has become a
huge hill. Turning around
would take efort. And Im
tired. Too tired to write, and
certainly too tired to trudge
back up that hill to start down
a diferent career path.
My point here is to develop
yourself this semester, espe-
cially if its your last one at the
University. Take classes that
interest you. Get involved
with activities you truly like.
Do what you want to do, be-
cause its what you want to do.
Dont take someones advice
simply because itll increase
your salary or your chance of
employment afer graduation.
Tat sappy, Do what you
love stuf is true, because
youll be doing it every day.
Forever. Until you die.
College is the time to follow
your dreams, if only to see
where they go. Not every-
one grows up wanting to be
an accountant or medical
equipment salesman or
PR coordinator. As a kid, I
wanted to be a freman. Tat
idea was dumb, because thats
super dangerous and I hate
sweating, but compared to
what Im doing now, Id take
a stab at it. I still might be
rushed, and Id defnitely be
tired. But maybe Id be happy,
and I could live with that.

confrontational. Once, a
woman came up to me and
told me how worried she was
about my salvation because
I had rejected Jesus Christ
somehow she had gotten
wind that I was a Muslim
now. I was completely caught
of guard. I didnt know what
to say, but as I walked away
I went through all the argu-
ment-inducing things I could
have said to her in response.
I wanted to go back there
and yell, Who are you to say
whos going to Hell and whos
going to Heaven?
With social media, its
even easier to take shots at
one another. Our Facebook
walls can be inundated with
arguments over evolution,
science versus faith, abor-
tion and same-sex marriage.
We can even fnd ourselves
confronting criticism about
aspects of our personal lives
that we chose to make public.
Its easy to get angry, yell at
one another and unfriend one
another. Its not about talking
to another human being but
rather about defending and
opposing, whos right and
whos wrong, who wins and
who loses.
In these kinds of arguments
we are mostly talking past
one another, going diferent
ways on the highways of
our dysfunctional conver-
sations. When are we ever
willing to get into the same
car as the other person and
talk with them rather than
against them? Over Christ-
mas dinner, its quite easy to
attack your uncles prejudices
and dismiss his humanity by
calling him a bigot (and dont
we all have that one uncle?).
Its quite a diferent thing to
cut through the cloud of hurt-
ful words that we both throw
at each other and have a real
conversation, to meet one
anothers opinions and beliefs
on a deeper level.
Asking what we believe
is actually quite shallow, as
opposed to why we believe it.
What questions ofen turn
divisive because they are ways
of distancing ourselves from
one another. When I ask you
this kind of question, Im not
looking for the human in
you. On the other hand, real
conversations revolve around
why questions. Tese
questions are about approach-
ing the other person and
seeing them as someone like
yourself. To be sure, it doesnt
mean that we ignore the
diferences; rather, we begin
to understand the reasons for
those diferences.
Te most rewarding inter-
faith discussion Ive been a
part of was when my group
of friends had a conversation
about our respective thoughts
on Jesus. Afer answering
each others what questions,
our group began to dig deep-
er. We asked questions like,
For you, why does it matter
that Jesus is divine? Why is
that important? And to the
Muslims in the group, Why
do you believe that God cant
be incarnate? Why is that a
necessary belief for your spiri-
tuality?
We certainly didnt come to
any agreements, but we did
reach an understanding of
one another. What we did was
achieve disagreement. David
Blankenhorn, the founder of
the Institute for American
Values, uses this term and ex-
plained what he meant during
a conversation on same-sex
marriage hosted by faith radio
host Krista Tippett. We can
easily dismiss another person
by calling them bad and
stupid for what they believe.
Blankenhorn calls this a false
disagreement. In contrast, to
have a generous and redemp-
tive conversation, rather
than a divisive argument,
means addressing the other
as someone like yourself. Tis
is exactly what we need as
members of a diverse society
where our lives intersect with
lives of others on a daily basis.
Arguments about faith and
social ethics in our country
are, for the most part, not just
divisive but idiotic. Blanken-
horn remarks, In todays
world of hyperpolarization
and the sheer idiocy that is
our public debate the heart
just cries out for this kind of
serious efort to achieve dis-
agreement. His words rever-
berate with me. As a convert
and as a Muslim-American, I
cry out to be understood. Is it
too much for me to imagine
that others who believe difer-
ently than I want the same?

Garrett Fugate is a graduate
student from St. Louis
studying architecture.
I
dont believe in making
New Years resolutions.
We shouldnt make
changes in our lives simply
because its Jan. 1 and society
says we should. Instead of
making egocentric changes
this year, I propose a pro-
found, committed shif in
attitude. A change that takes
ourselves out of the spotlight
and puts something much
bigger on center stage: the
environment.
Many philosophies on
human-environment inter-
action have come and gone
throughout history. Te way
we treat the natural world
represents the values and
morals of our society. Each
society in history has or had
an overarching idea about
the environment that inte-
grated itself in day-to-day
functioning. For example,
the Swinomish tribe of
Washington places a cultural
and ceremonial value on the
salmon, indicating its ties to
the coastal land and its nat-
ural inhabitants. In contrast,
Americans of the late 1800s
saw the environment as an
opportunity for expansion.
American Imperialism
resulted in the great land
grab of Guam, Hawaii, the
Philippines and Puerto Rico.
Tis allowed the U.S. to force
its ideologies on sovereign
nations, while at the same
time opened up natural
resources to economic
exploitation. Although
abuse of the environment
occurred all over the world
long before imperialism, it
still stands as a sad example
of how our society views
the environment: an avenue
for monetary and political
gains.
Unarguably, we are an
anthropocentric society,
meaning we think humans
are the most important and
central living entity on this
planet. We place ourselves at
the top of every food chain
by pointing out our superior
ability to form morals. But
does the ability to create
standards of behavior place
us in a position to manip-
ulate and abuse natural
resources and other living
species? We may have higher
intellectual functioning,
but the basic processes that
keep us alive come from
our environment. Our food,
water and air are all virtue of
other living organisms and
natural systems. We could
not survive without the mi-
croorganisms that create nu-
trient-rich soil for our food.
Life as we know it would be
altered without clean water
sources that replenish our
bodies. And we could not
function without clean air
given by plant life.
Is this simply another
environmentalists rant? No,
this is a call to action a
call for a change in attitude.
It is time for us to shake of
the stigma of tree hugger
and fnd the intrinsic value
in all species. Tis year, I
encourage everyone to shed
the anthropocentric ideal
and adopt a more biocentric
view: the idea that all species
are connected and interde-
pendent, therefore value lies
in everything. Tis idea has
power. Happy New Year.
Let it be one the Earth will
remember.

FASHION
Winter weather, particularly
that of our lovely state, ofen
causes issues with being both
fashionable and functional.
With sunny skies one day and
negative temperatures the
next, its important to know
how to dress for the day-to-
day changes while still staying
within winter fashion trends.
While hoodies and
sweatpants can be tempting,
there are plenty of efortless
ways to stay fashionable this
season. Dress to impress this
semester with these tips on
how to winterize your back-
to-school look.
SHIRTS
Tis winter season has been
all about layering, especially
when its snowing on your
morning walk to class and
65 degrees by the time you
head back home. Layers allow
you to adjust your look and
temperature throughout the
day without compromising
your personal style. Katie
Glaf, store manager at Envy,
911 Massachusetts St.,
recommends layers during
transitions between seasons.
Transitioning into spring
layers are always good, Glaf
said. While it may be cold
in the morning, you can shed
layers throughout the day as it
gets warmer.
Combine more delicate
blouses with cardigans or
throw on an oversized chunky
cable knit sweater. Glaf also
recommends incorporating
her favorite piece from Envys
new collection coming this
season.
Te body con skirt, arriving
in a few weeks, will come in a
variety of colors and patterns,
Glaf said.
Tis can easily be dressed up
or dressed down with more
casual accessories.
SHOES
With the dead of winter
behind us, there will be many
opportunities to swap out
those bulky snow boots for
more wearable footwear.
Avoid showing too much skin
until the spring hits. Try out
shoes such as Converse, Vans,
Oxfords and Sperrys.
OUTERWEAR
Two words: statement jacket.
When shopping for outerwear,
try to pick pieces that are
bold and eye-catching. Fallen
in love with that neon rain
jacket? Cant stop thinking
about an embellished pea coat?
Go for it. Tere are all kinds
of styles and colors available
when it comes to outerwear.
Pick something that will stand
out on its own. Keep the rest of
your outft simple, pairing the
coat with neutral basics such
as simple T-shirts and mono-
colored pants.
ACCESSORIES
Tere is still enough nip in
the air to put your favorite
scarves, hats and mittens to
good use. Perfect for that
chilly walk to class, pair thick
knits with your outfts to stay
warm and stylish. When it
comes to other accessories,
reliable statement pieces such
as bold necklaces, watches
and earrings can dress up any
outft.

Well Jayhawks, its that time
again. Youve taken a break from
your studies and spent time with
friends and family, but now its
time to hit the books again. I know
that it can be hard to transition
back into school, especially
after eating all those Christmas
desserts and sleeping until noon,
so heres a playlist that can help
lift your spirit while adjusting to
school again.
1. Wake Me Up
Artist: Avicii
Album: True (2013)
After the alarm goes off on the rst day of classes, I think we will all agree with
Aloe Blacc when he sings, So wake me up when its all over. The inspiring
lyrics and electric beat of this song will get your mind off home and back on
accomplishing your goals. This popular summer anthem is the perfect song for
any playlist.
2. Happy
Artist: Pharrell
Album: Despicable Me 2: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (2013)
Sometimes we need a reminder to stop worrying, like about that rst paper your
professor just assigned, and focus on being grateful. This smooth and cool track
by the legendary Pharrell Williams will send your rst week blues away and make
you feel happy. The old-school jazz feel of this song and lyrics, such as, Cant
nothing bring me down, will have your head bobbing and toes tapping, some-
thing I think we will all need this week.
3. Treasure
Artist: Bruno Mars
Album: Unorthodox Jukebox (2012)
No playlist would be complete without a song from this years Super Bowl halftime
performer Bruno Mars. This funky song by the soulful crooner will have you strut-
ting to the beat down Jayhawk Boulevard. Although the bags under your eyes from
lack of sleep may say otherwise, you will still feel like a treasure with this song
playing in your ears.
4. Roar
Artist: Katy Perry
Album: Prism (2013)
There is no better song to get you motivated for that rst exam than one of the
most inspirational songs of 2013. Roar, nominated for Song of the Year at this
years Grammys, is perfect during an all-nighter study sesh. Study with Katy and
that Scantron will denitely hear you roar.
5. Beautiful People
Artist: Chris Brown
Album: F.A.M.E. (2011)
This upbeat dance song featured on F.A.M.E., a Grammy winning album, is a
gem for your back-to-school playlist. Fortunately, college isnt all about tests and
papers (sorry moms). One of the best things about college is meeting new people
and creating lasting memories. Blast this track while youre catching up with
your friends.
6. Gangsta
Artist: Kat Dahlia
Album: Gangsta EP (2013)
Weve all had hardships that we have had to overcome. Maybe your grades from
rst semester werent so hot or youre struggling with student loans. This song
by the Cuban-American hip-hop/pop artist is emotional, relatable and needed on
your playlist. Dahlias snappy lyrics like, On way to the top, I make with what I
got, will motivate and help you channel your inner gangsta.
7. On Top of the World
Artist: Imagine Dragons
Album: Night Visions (2013)
You know those moments when you just aced an exam, uploaded all of your Black-
board assignments or cheered on the Jayhawks to a win in Allen Fieldhouse? Thats
where this song ts in. Featured on the rock bands debut album, Night Visions,
On Top of the World will make you feel just that.
8. Moment 4 Life
Artist: Nicki Minaj featuring Drake
Album: Pink Friday (2010)
One of Minajs most renowned songs, Moment 4 Life, is one of those tracks that
never gets old. It reminds you to be thankful for all of your opportunities and to
celebrate life. It is easy to get caught up in stressing about classes and your future,
but college doesnt last forever and its best to cherish every moment. So, enjoy our
beautiful campus, the over-crowded buses, camping for basketball games and
even those nights spent writing 10-page papers because you may never have these
moments again.

With the holidays at an
end and the spring semester
beginning, its time to get
back on the grind. Tis
includes burning of the
calories weve indulged in all
winter break. Five personal
trainers at Ambler Student
Recreation Fitness Center
suggest fve exercises for
students to do at home to
get back in tiptop shape for
spring.

Stephen Opskar from Derby
1. Squat pyramid Do a
squat pyramid to hit your
legs and glutes. Te pyramid
is a one to one work to rest
ratio, where you are resting
the same amount of time that
youre squatting. First, squat
for 20 seconds, then rest for
20 seconds. Do the same for
40 seconds each, then 60
seconds. Now, working your
way back down the pyramid,
do 60 second intervals again,
followed by 40 seconds and
then return to 20 seconds.
Wes Powell
from Overland Park
2. Floor sprints/Mountain
climbers Get into a push-
up position. Make sure your
body is straight and that your
butt is not up in the air. Pull
your belly button toward
your spine to activate your
core. Bring your right knee
of the ground and pull it up
to your chest, keeping the
body as straight as possible.
Touch your toe to the ground
before bringing that leg back
to the starting position and
repeating with the opposite
leg. Switch legs as quickly as
possible while maintaining
proper form, like youre
sprinting in place with your
hands on the ground.
Becky Hlavac
from Naperville, Ill.
3. Knee tucks On
hardwood/tile foor, take a
small towel (or a washcloth
for each foot), and place
it underneath your feet.
Starting in the push-up
position, bend your knees
and slide your feet toward
your hands until your knees
are tucked under your chest,
and then draw your feet back
to the push-up position.
Tis is one repetition. While
performing knee tucks, make
sure that you keep your hips
in line with your shoulders
this helps you avoid
hyperextending your back. If
you dont have a hardwood/
tile foor, do fve second
intervals switching between
the push-up position and
a plank, and do about fve
rounds. (10-15 reps)
Joel Hodgdon from Olathe
4. Boxer sit-ups Tis is
a modifed sit-up. Lying on
your back with your feet on
the ground (knees bent) and
hands behind your head,
sit up moving your upper
body toward your knees.
At the end of each sit-up,
twist frst right then lef with
your torso at the top of the
motion touching frst your
right elbow to your lef knee
then your lef elbow to your
right knee. Tis engages the
obliques as well as the rest of
the abdominal complex. Do
three sets of 15 reps.
Michael Kuhlmann
from Sioux City, Iowa
5. Burpees Beginning
from a standing position
perform a squat and place
your hands on the ground
in front of you. Kick your
feet back into a push-up
position and then perform a
push-up. Once the push-up
is completed, return your
feet to the squat position and
immediately jump as high
as possible reaching for the
ceiling. Repeat those motions
as quickly as possible.

WHERE THE TRUE HAWKS NEST
LAS VEGAS Lee Roy
Myers has everything youd
expect to fnd in the nations
porn capital in Southern
California: sets of a classroom,
hospital room, locker room
and a bedroom, as well as a
list of porn stars waiting to
perform.
But his plywood universe
is not in the San Fernando
Valley. Its a few paces away
from the glittery casinos of
the Las Vegas Strip.
Las Vegas is a fresh town,
and its where people need the
business, Myers said, whose
new studio is part of a boom
in X-rated production in Sin
City sparked by a Los Angeles
law requiring male actors to
wear condoms.
Te rule and potential
opportunities in Nevada
were the talk of the Adult
Entertainment Expo this
week. Te annual sex industry
trade show culminates
Saturday with an awards
ceremony for adult flms.
Its not really an option
to change the way we make
our movies, and moving
production isnt that hard,
porn purveyor Jules Jordan
said, who hid out behind
nearly naked models at his
booth.
Te voter-approved Los
Angeles regulation survived
a constitutional challenge,
but other lawsuits are
ongoing, and the industry is
still waiting for the frst big
prophylactic bust.
Te number of permits
requested to make porn flms
in Los Angeles County has
declined by an estimated 95
percent since the law took
efect, according to Film LA,
a private nonproft that issues
the licenses. Te number of
applications fell from about
480 in 2012 to just 24 through
the frst nine months of 2013.
For Myers, who co-owns
Mission Control studios and
also directs web flms, the
condom police are just the
start of his troubles with Los
Angeles. Te region had also
gotten too expensive for him.
With DVD sales continuing
to plummet, the bounce
provided by the mommy-
porn series Fify Shades of
Grey wearing of, and no
solid business model in sight,
producers in this notoriously
low-budget industry are
looking for new ways to cut
costs.
While Los Angeles requires
health checks and charges
hundreds of dollars for
location permits, Clark
County, where Las Vegas
is located, does not require
health permits and gives
out location licenses for a
nominal fee.
Te warehouses are cheaper,
and its also more afordable
to rent out mansions and
put actors up in hotels. Te
hardest part, Myers said, is
making sure the stars leave at
the end of the shoot.
Myers has also found that
Las Vegas, a town already
sufused with commercialized
sex, is less squeamish about
his line of work.
Teyre used to it here
because they already kind of
have it, he said, sitting among
rows of desks in his studios
classroom set. Figuring out
how to make these things
more cheaply wont include
shooting in Los Angeles.
Before he moved in, the
building was just another
empty warehouse on blighted
Industrial Road behind the
towns tourist corridor. Local
ofcials appear content with
the arrangement and have no
plans to pass additional rules.
Its a legalized industry
and properly regulated, so I
dont see it as a problem, said
Clark County Commissioner
Chris Giunchigliani. I think
the city and the county will
beneft from any expansion
of the flm industry. Its
economic diversifcation.
Las Vegas is home to some
major porn players, including
Brazzers, Bait & Tackle,
Corbin Fisher, VCX Ltd. and
newcomer Bluebird Film.
Several producers with top
porn purveyor Evil Angel are
talking about moving to Las
Vegas, according to owner
John Stagliano, and enough
porn actors have settled down
in the area to supply all the
extras a flm could need, if not
all the stars.
Derek Hay, owner of adult
talent agency LA Direct
Models, opened an ofce here
last fall. He estimates that 20
percent of the industry will
have moved to Las Vegas by
the end of the year.
Some contrarians believe
the boom will eventually
lead Clark County to adopt
the same regulations that are
scaring the industry in Los
Angeles. Tis September, the
group that championed the
2012 condom law started a
similar campaign in Florida.
For now, concerns about an
eventual condom showdown
in the desert are not stopping
producers from making
investments.
Myers has several producers
coming through his studio
this week. Afer that, he
will turn his attention to
repurposing the cave set
featured in a high fantasy
spoof Game of Bones for
another pornographic parody,
based on Te Hobbit.

In a hydra-headed Oscar
race, American Hustle, 12
Years a Slave and Gravity
all have legitimate claims to
favorite status. And thats a
good thing.
Even if a front-runner
emerges from the much-
nominated trio over the six
weeks leading up to the 86th
Academy Awards on March
2, the credentials of each flm
should be plenty to heighten
nerves and add to the drama
on Oscar night.
Its an extremely competitive
year, said David O. Russell,
whose American Hustle
landed 10 nods, tied for most
with Gravity, in nominations
announced Tursday from
Beverly Hills, Calif. It could
go any which way.
Steve McQueens 12 Years
a Slave, an unfinching
depiction of 19th century
American slavery, trailed close
behind with nine nominations,
including nods for McQueen,
lead actor Chiwetel Ejiofor
and supporting players
Michael Fassbender and
Lupita Nyongo. Since its
festival debut, its been seen
by many as the movie to beat,
a flm bearing heavy historical
gravitas that the lighter
American Hustle and the
literally weightless Gravity
cant match.
But Russells wild Abscam
comedy, thick in 1970s
style, has ridden a wave of
enthusiasm for its manic
performances. Its three
in a row for Russell, too,
who may be due for bigger
Oscar wins than his much-
nominated flms Silver
Linings Playbook and Te
Fighter managed. A year
afer Silver Linings Playbook
landed nominations in all four
acting categories, Hustle
managed the same feat with
Amy Adams, Christian Bale,
Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley
Cooper all receiving nods.
Ten theres Gravity, which,
along with nominations for
director Alfonso Cuaron
and lead actress Sandra
Bullock, exerted its force
with nominations in all seven
technical categories. With $670
million in worldwide box-
ofce, the 3-D space odyssey is
easily the most popular of the
best-picture nominees, widely
credited with reinvigorating
the spectacle of the big-screen
experience.
Te three flms will vie in
the best picture category
with Captain Phillips,
Dallas Buyers Club, Her,
Nebraska, Te Wolf of
Wall Street and Philomena.
If any of them poses a dark-
horse threat, its Martin
Scorseses Te Wolf of Wall
Street, a nearly three hour-
long portrait of hedonism
and greed that some have said
glorifes former trader Jordan
Belfort.
Te Wolf of Wall Street
landed fve big nominations,
including best director
(Scorsese, his eighth for
directing), best actor
(Leonardo DiCaprio), best
supporting actor (Jonah Hill),
and best adapted screenplay
(Terence Winter). DiCaprio,
now a four-time nominee, said
he felt vindicated.
To be recognized like this
and to see that there were
enough people out there who
said, Look, we get what this
flm is not what its trying
to say, but what its trying
to refect, said DiCaprio.
Nobody wants to be
misunderstood.
Te nominations seemed to
favor new blood over esteemed
veterans. In an especially
strong best actor race, Tom
Hanks (Captain Phillips)
and Robert Redford (All Is
Lost) were surprisingly lef
out. Emma Tompson was
omitted from best actress, and
her flm, Disneys making-of
Mary Poppins tale Saving
Mr. Banks, was overlooked in
the best picture category.
Te best actor category is
led by frst-time nominee
Matthew McConaughey,
whose Texas HIV drama
Dallas Buyers Club earned
six nominations.
One of the days biggest
winners was the 27-year-old
producer Megan Ellison, the
daughter of billionaire Larry
Ellison. Her Annapurna
Pictures produced two of
the best-picture nominees
(American Hustle and Her)
as well as the Wong Kar-
Wai martial arts drama Te
Grandmaster. She is the frst
woman and only the fourth
person to receive two best
picture nods in the same year.
She celebrated by tweeting
17! the total nominations
her flms received.

HEALTH
Campus website aids healthy eating endeavors
Lucy Edmonds, a sophomore
from Kansas City, Mo., said
that gaining the freshman
15 worried her as a senior
in high school. She used Net
Nutrition her freshman year to
stay aware of what shes eating
and how many calories shes
consuming.
Te University of Kansas
created Net Nutrition in 2007
to help students maintain a
healthy lifestyle. Te website,
netnutrition.union.ku.edu,
helps students track calorie
intake and lists a complete
nutrition label for every food
product on campus.
With Net Nutrition I can
add up every beverage I drink
and even the amount of syrup
or ketchup I use on a meal,
Edmonds said. Tere are so
many dining areas on campus
and Net Nutrition has every
single one listed so I dont
worry about what Im eating
anymore since I can just look
it up.
Mary Rondon, KU Dining
Services registered dietitian,
has focused on increasing Net
Nutritions popularity this past
year by marketing the website
in the dining halls.
A lot of the students move
away from home and think
they can eat everything they
want, Rondon said. I tell
the incoming students and
their parents to use Net
Nutrition to help them choose
healthier options. It teaches
how to incorporate food in
moderation.
An article on Psychology
Today by Sylvia R. Karasu said
that college students tend to eat
more unhealthy food during
fnals week. Net Nutrition
addresses this issue by showing
students the availability every
dining area has so that they
dont immediately turn to the
unhealthy choices.
Students can choose from
dining halls, cafes and food
services at the University
and immediately get linked
to the schedule for the week.
Not only does Net Nutrition
show the breakfast, lunch and
dinner options, but it also has
the everyday selection options
so beverages, fruit and even
condiments can be added.
KU Dining Services oversees
all 22 dining facilities on
campus, both residential and
retail. Net Nutrition stays
updated with all of these
facilities and changes ofen to
preview the upcoming week.
Rondon also works with
students who have dietary
restrictions. She said that
these restrictions are on the
rise lately in college students
and KU Dining Services can
provide options to meet all
their needs.
Students can check of their
allergies or other dietary
preferences on Net Nutrition
to better organize their
experience with the website.
Kosher, organic, vegan and
vegetarian are some of the
dietary preference flters
students can mark so they
know what not to eat.
We have a wide population
to serve, Travis Fell, head chef
at Mrs. Es, said. We want to
have a balance back in the
kitchen, so even though some
of the unhealthier choices are
popular, some people have
diets that they need to follow.
Lily Bakker, a sophomore
from St. Louis, likes to cook
healthier and leaner meals
in her sorority. Bakker uses
Net Nutrition when buying
products on campus so she
knows how much food is
enough and how many calories
she needs.
Its never easy to start eating
healthy, Bakker said. Net
Nutrition defnitely made that
process easier for me.
Students can review all
of their meals at the end of
the day. Tey can edit their
portions, look up all nutrition
information, and even print
their daily meals. Rondon
said Net Nutrition is a great
resource for helping students
control their weight and diet,
although they need to stay
active as well.
Students nowadays are
becoming more health-
conscious so they are looking
for tools like Net Nutrition,
Rondon said. Tis healthy
lifestyle is a domino efect.
Net Nutrition really meets the
needs of our students.

more complicated and a more
compassionate perspective. I
would also say that Evelyn is
a budding scientist.
UDK: What did coming to KU
as a student mean for you?
LM: I loved my time as a
student here. I went to high
school in a small town in
Montana, and it wasnt
exactly diverse regarding
people or politics or ways
of thinking about the
world. I didnt even know
how sufocated I felt until
I arrived in Lawrence, and
I encountered so many
diferent kinds of people
and ideas; to me, it felt like
oxygen coming in.
I remember I requested
a room in McCollum Hall
because that was where most
of the international students
stayed, and I wanted to try to
meet some of them. I went
to all the speakers I could.
I went to hear Elie Wiesel
when he spoke at Murphy
Hall. I saw Spike Lee at
the Lied Center. I watched
Timothy Leary debate G.
Gordon Liddy at the Union,
which was just sort of comic,
but fun. My boyfriend at
the time got both Liddy and
Leary to sign the back of his
drivers license as witnesses
he was an organ donor. I
remember I freaked out
when I heard that Grace
Paley, one of my favorite
writers, would be coming to
KU, and I somehow talked
someone in charge into
letting me drive her back to
the airport. I kept looking
over at her and thinking, Oh
wow, Im in a car with Grace
Paley! She was probably
thinking, Focus on the road,
sweetie.
I also occasionally indulged
myself by taking impractical
electives that had nothing
to do with my major. I took
Peoples of Africa. I took
Economics. I took horseback
riding still the lowest
grade on my transcript, but
I survived, as did the horse.
And of course, I learned a
lot from my professors. Some
of them had perspectives Id
never heard before. Tey
seemed free to say things my
high school teachers couldnt
have gotten away with back
home. I didnt agree with
everything everyone said,
of course, but I appreciated
being exposed to the ideas.
I also saw my freshman
year at KU as a fresh start.
I wasnt exactly a dedicated
student in high school, but
when I got here, I decided
it might be a good time to
take studying seriously and
see what happened. I just
wanted to take everything in,
and though I certainly had
my difculties, I remember
those years as an exhilarating
time of my life.
UDK: Is there anything else
Kansan readers should know
about?
LM: If theyre fans of
Downton Abbey, they
might be interested to know
that my newest novel, Te
Chaperone, was optioned
by Elizabeth McGovern
and sold to Fox Searchlight;
Downton creator Julian
Fellowes is writing the
screenplay, but thats all
I know for now. Also, an
important scene near the
end of Te Center of
Everything takes place on
Jayhawk Boulevard and the

BOOK FROM PAGE 1A
GERMANTOWN, Md.
A Maryland woman charged
with killing two of her children
has told investigators that
she thought an exorcism
was necessary to remove the
presence of the devil and evil
spirits, a police captain said
Sunday.
Zakieya Latrice Avery, 28,
of Germantown, is charged
with frst-degree murder in the
stabbing deaths of the children,
ages 1 and 2.
Montgomery County police
responded to Averys home
Friday morning following a
neighbors 911 call. Police said
they found the two children
dead and two other siblings,
ages 5 and 8, injured with
stabbing wounds.
She thought the devil was in
the kids, and thats sort of the
thing she centered it around as
to why she had to conduct an
exorcism, said Capt. Marcus
Jones, director of the police
departments major crimes
division. She just thought that
there were evil spirits within the
kids.
Another woman charged in
the killings, Monifa Denise
Sanford, 21, made similar
statements during questioning,
police said.
Sanford was arrested Saturday.
Te two women had been living
together at the house in recent
months.
Jones said the father of the
children does not live in the area
and is separated from Avery,
but was returning to be with
the surviving children, who
remained hospitalized Sunday.
Both women were being held
without bond on charges of frst-
degree murder and attempted
frst-degree murder and are
not expected to appear in court
until Tuesday afernoon. Court
records do not list lawyers for
the women.
Police said ofcers went to
Averys row house community
north of Washington, D.C.,
early Friday when a neighbor
called 911 afer noticing a car
with the door open and a knife
lying outside of the vehicle.
Ofcers recovered two knives
from the home. Te children
died from multiple stab wounds,
Jones said.
Jones said the women are
believed to have met each
other at a church, which he
identifed as Exousia Ministries
in Germantown.
Te pastor of that
congregation, Darryl Jones,
declined to discuss the case afer
services at an elementary school
Sunday or even confrm that the
women worshipped there.
Tis is a tragic situation.
Were keeping the family
in (our) prayers and we are
respecting the privacy of the
family, he said.
Averys stepgrandmother,
Sylvia Wade, told Te
Washington Post that Avery was
humble and meek and said
she loved her children.
I dont know what triggered
it. She wasnt herself. When a
person is not of themselves,
they are not responsible for
what they are doing. Tey are in
another zone.

PHILADELPHIA A
17-year-old boy charged as
an adult in the shooting of
two students inside a school
gym isn't responsible for the
crime, his attorney said.
Charges against Raisheem
Rochwell were based on
surveillance video and
witness information
from the shooting Friday
afernoon at Delaware Valley
Charter High School, police
said. One bullet from a gun
Rochwell was holding hit
two students, wounding each
in an arm, police said.
But Rochwell's attorney,
Amato Sanita, disputed
that account to reporters
Saturday night.
"I've not seen that, I'm
not aware of that, and from
the information I have, I do
not believe that is accurate,"
Sanita said of the police
version of events. He added
that Rochwell "is not the
person who will ultimately
be responsible for this act."
Rochwell has been charged
with aggravated assault,
carrying an unlicensed
frearm, carrying a frearm
in public in Philadelphia,
possessing a frearm while
a minor, possessing an
instrument of crime, simple
assault and recklessly
endangering another person.
He remained in jail Sunday
and unable to post $500,000
bond. He faces a preliminary
hearing Feb. 6.
Te school will resume
classes Tuesday, afer the
Martin Luther King Jr.
holiday.
"We are thankful that
our students are in good
condition and recovering
from this unfortunate
incident. We will continue
to be committed to making
sure that the safety of our
children and staf is taken
seriously inside and outside
of school," the school said in
a statement.
School ofcials also said
they were working with
police and the school's
public safety team "to ensure
that all safety measures are
addressed." Te school has
metal detectors, but ofcials
and police have yet to say
how they believe the gun was
brought into the building.
An 18-year-old female
student was shot in the back
of her lef arm, and the same
bullet also struck a 17-year-
old boy in the shoulder,
police said. Both were
treated at the Albert Einstein
Medical Center. Te female
student was released Friday,
but it wasn't clear Sunday
whether the male student
remained hospitalized.
Although police have
stopped short of calling the
shooting accidental, Sanita
suggested it was though
he stopped short of using
that word.
"Anything you're hearing
out there, this is nothing
that involves anything
intentional," Sanita said. "We
can make those comments
right now, and that's it."
Police also questioned
a 16-year-old boy in
connection with the
shooting, but he was released
because the district attorney's
ofce declined to approve
criminal charges, according
to a police statement.
TRENTON, N.J. Te
Democratic mayor of a town
severely fooded by Superstorm
Sandy said Sunday that she
was told an ultimatum tying
recovery funds to her support
for a prime real estate project
came directly from Republican
Gov. Chris Christie, a claim
a Christie spokesman called
"categorically false."
Hoboken Mayor Dawn
Zimmer told CNN's "State
of the Union with Candy
Crowley" that the message
pushing a Rockefeller Group
commercial development
was delivered by Christie's
lieutenant governor, Kim
Guadagno, when the two were
at an event in Hoboken in May
to celebrate the opening of a
new supermarket.
"Te lieutenant governor
pulled me aside and said,
essentially, 'You've got to move
forward with the Rockefeller
project. Tis project is really
important to the governor.'
And she said that she had been
with him on Friday night and
that this was a direct message
from the governor," Zimmer
recalled Guadagno saying.
Christie spokesman Colin
Reed issued a statement
Sunday saying, "Mayor
Zimmer's categorization about
her conversation in Hoboken
is categorically false."
On Saturday, Zimmer
said Guadagno and a top
community development
ofcial separately told her that
recovery funds would fow to
her city if she expedited the
project.
Hoboken, a low-lying city of
50,000 across from Manhattan,
was nearly swallowed by the
Hudson River during Sandy,
with three of its electrical
substations and most of its
frehouses fooded, businesses
and homes submerged, the
train station inundated with
water, and people trapped in
high-rises because elevators
didn't work and lobbies were
underwater. Zimmer has
proposed a comprehensive
food mitigation plan and has
applied for $100 million in
grants to help make it happen.
Zimmer said she didn't
reveal the conversation with
Guadagno until now because
she feared no one would
believe her. But, with Hoboken
having received just $342,000
out of $1.8 billion in Sandy
recovery aid from the state
in the frst funding round,
she said, she is speaking out
in hopes her city won't be
shut out in a second funding
wave, when the state is due to
disperse $1.4 billion. Hoboken
has also received millions in
federal aid.
Christie, meanwhile, is
embroiled in another scandal
that threatens to undercut
his second term and future
presidential ambitions. Te
U.S. attorney's ofce and a
state legislative panel are
investigating allegations that
Christie aides engineered
trafc jams in Fort Lee by
closing lanes to the George
Washington Bridge, possibly
as payback against the town's
Democratic mayor, who
didn't endorse Christie for re-
election.
Democratic Assemblyman
John Wisniewski, the legislator
leading the state investigation,
told NBC's "Meet the Press"
on Sunday that his committee
would look into Zimmer's
political payback allegation as
well.
"I think we have to give the
allegations serious thought,"
he said, "because this is a
pattern we've heard time and
time again throughout New
Jersey."
Former New York Mayor
Rudy Giuliani, a Republican,
told "Meet the Press" that
Wisniewski is part of a
"partisan witch hunt" and
should step down.
Wisniewski countered
that his committee of
eight Democrats and four
Republicans is bipartisan
and would continue its
investigation.

Coming into a clash be-
tween the preseason co-fa-
vorites to win the Big 12,
Andrew Wiggins carried the
Jayhawks in big games, av-
eraging more than 20 points
against ranked teams. Afer
playing No. 9 Oklahoma State
(15-3, 3-2), Kansas proved it
is capable of beating a top ten
team when the freshman star
isnt at his best.
Wiggins scored a career-low
three points on Saturday in
an 80-78 victory against the
Cowboys at Allen Fieldhouse.
He also recorded career-lows
in feld goals made (one),
feld goals attempted (fve)
and minutes played (23).
While No. 15 Kansas (13-
4, 4-0) is certainly a much
better team with Wiggins on
the court, the Jayhawks have
proved throughout the season
that they arent doomed if he
has an of-day.
Teyve got so many good
basketball players, so deep,
Oklahoma State coach Travis
Ford said.
Kansas has won all three
games this season where Wig-
gins hasnt reached double
digits in scoring. In the
teams Big 12 opener against
Oklahoma in Norman, Wig-
gins scored nine points and
made just two feld goals in a
90-83 Kansas win.
Picking up the slack on Sat-
urday was Naadir Tarpe,
who scored 21 points for his
third 20-point game in his
last six contests. When Kan-
sas was in need of a run in the
second half, Tarpe made the
game-changing plays.
When Oklahoma State cut
the lead to three with 11 min-
utes remaining in the game,
Tarpe nailed a 3-pointer to
H
ere it was, early in the
frst half, freshman
guard Andrew Wig-
gins hits a 3-pointer against
the ninth-ranked Oklahoma
State Cowboys. Te crowd
thought that this could be
Wiggins chance to out-shine
Oklahoma States star soph-
omore guard Marcus Smart.
No one in the crowd knew
that the Wiggins 3-pointer
would be the only made bas-
ket for him the entire game,
and Smart would outplay
Wiggins.
Wiggins had the worst
game he played all year, coach
Bill Self said.
Te matchup between
Wiggins and Smart was well
over-hyped. Wiggins was
supposed to guard Smart for
the majority of the game, but
ended up guarding Smart on
a handful of possessions. Te
matchup went unnoticed in
the 80-78 Kansas victory over
Oklahoma State.
Wiggins was held to three
points, one rebound, one assist
and played only 11 minutes
in the frst half due to two
personal fouls. He was forced
to give up the ball on multiple
possessions and showed no
sense of urgency to take the
ball to the basket. Te Oklaho-
ma State zone defense allowed
Wiggins to settle for jump
shots and made him become a
passer in the frst half.
On the other hand, Smart
played in all 20 minutes of
the frst half, but a committee
of Kansan players held him
without a feld goal. Smart still
managed to go a perfect 8-8
from the line, fve rebounds
and four assists. He had a
quiet frst half as Kansas went
to the locker room leading
47-30.
Te second half was a
completely diferent game for
Smart, but Wiggins remained
invisible on the court.
Te Oklahoma State guard
continued his aggression and
the frst two possessions of
the second half, Wiggins was
in the face of Smart. Wig-
gins insanity was present on
defense, but he couldnt buy
himself a basket. He fnished
the game shooting 20 percent,
two rebounds and one assist
during 12 minutes of play.
To understand how unag-
gressive Wiggins ofensive
play was against Oklahoma
State, Wiggins didnt attempt a
single free throw, while Smart
was increasing his aggressive-
ness on each possession.
In the frst half we did it to
ourselves, a lot of stupid plays
and mental mistakes on our
part, Smart said. Coming
out in the frst half we played
aggressive and hard, the in-
tensity wasnt there so we just
made sure we came out in the
second half and made sure we
changed that.
Oklahoma State surged back
from the 19-point defcit in
the second half to come within
two points.
Smart was the key to the
comeback, fnishing the
game with 16 points on 3-14
from the feld, ten rebounds,
nine assists, four steals and a
perfect 10-10 from the charity
strike.
Te leadership comparison
of Smart and Wiggins wasnt
bought, Smart rose to the
occasion and Wiggins refused
to rise like some unleavened
bread.

Jayhawks play smarter after last years home court loss
BLAKE SCHUSTER

KANSAS 80 OKLAHOMA STATE 78
BAYLOR UPSET
Junior guard Naadir Tharpe high ves the crowd on his way to the locker room after Saturdays victory against the Cowboys.
Marcus Smart didnt waste
any time walking of James
Naismith Court when the f-
nal buzzer sounded. He didnt
soak up the rambunctious
crowd around him or walk
over to shake hands with any
of the Kansas Jayhawks.
Like most of the Oklahoma
State Cowboys, Smart tilted
his head down, pointed his
eyes at the foor and started
his quick walk back to the
visiting locker room at Allen
Fieldhouse.
Tere were no back fips.
Not today.
In part one of what has been
billed as the Big 12 Cham-
pionship Series, it was No.
15 Kansas holding of No. 9
Oklahoma State, 80-78 in the
rare game that exceeds expec-
tations.
Everybody is smiling,
Naadir Tarpe said. Every-
body is excited. Teyre start-
ing to understand this is how
Kansas basketball is supposed
to be played.
By that standard Kansas
basketball is played with lob
passes that fy perfectly over
defenders, a defense that
holds the leagues second-best
shooting team to a mere 39
percent and a bench full of
players who get into tussles
at midcourt. Ten again, that
doesnt account for anything
that happened in the second
half.
In those fnal 20 minutes ev-
erything that Kansas proved
it was capable of in the frst
frame unraveled. Be it com-
placency, over-confdence or
laziness, the Jayhawks showed
they have a ways to go before
playing their best basketball.
We did enough to win,
coach Bill Self said. But were
not leaving out of here giddy
because we did.
Which is why even when
Kansas took a 17-point lead
at half, there was a lingering
feeling that nothing was safe.
Oklahoma State out-scored
Kansas 48-33 in the fnal
frame, leading to much of
Self s concerns.
"Its an eerie feeling but it's
the same game we played
against Michigan last year,
Self said, referring to the Jay-
hawks Sweet Sixteen loss last
March.
In that game, Michigan
clawed back from down 12
with just more than six min-
utes remaining afer Kansas
had played some of its best
basketball all season. At that
same mark on Saturday the
Jayhawks led the Cowboys
by 11. Perhaps even more un-
nerving is the comparison of
Marcus Smart to Michigans
Trey Burke. In the Sweet Six-
teen, Burke didnt hit a feld
goal until two minutes into
the second half. Smart didnt
knock down any shots from
the feld until six minutes
were lef in the second half.
And like Burke, Smart con-
tributed by doing more than
scoring. His nine assists and
10 rebounds made up the
bulk of his game in Lawrence.
Te diference between last
March and last Saturday came
down to a recently familiar
position for Kansas inconsis-
tency: point guard. It was the
mistakes of his elders that al-
lowed Naadir Tarpe to come
up big for the Jayhawks.
I have to be the leader,
Tarpe said. Tese guys ha-
vent played in these games.
I watched Tyshawn [Taylor]
and Elijah [Johnson] and I
have to lead out there.
So Tarpe led. He led the
Jayhawks with 21 points and
six assists and he put the tal-
ented young freshmen around
him in a position to fnish of
the rest.
It was Tarpes play that
ignited Joel Embiid, allow-
ing the potential NBA lottery
pick to put up 13 points, 11
rebounds and eight blocks,
which broke the Kansas sin-
gle game record that Embiid
set with seven blocks against
UTEP earlier in the year.
It was because of Tarpes
play that Frank Mason was
in a position to knock down
a free throw with a little more
than fve seconds remaining
to give Kansas a two-point
lead.
Yet on that fnal play it was
all Mason, who proved more
than anyone that he can learn
from his mistakes. Against
Colorado in December, Ma-
son let Asika Booker get to
the side of him and toss up
a game-winning three. Tis
time Mason stayed complete-
ly in front of LeBryan Nash
not allowing much, if any, of a
look at the basket before time
expired.
With fve seconds youve
got to go. You dont have time
to draw a play, Cowboys
coach Travis Ford said. We
knew what to do, get it and
go.
Marcus Smart called the
loss a moral victory. Naadir
Tarpe called it a warning.
We are sending a message,
Tarpe said. Even though we
have a lot of young guys were
ready to play.

basketball is supposed to be played.

In the teams rst game in Allen Fieldhouse in 29 days, the Jayhawks responded with a drubbing of
the Georgetown Hoyas 86-64 on Dec. 21. Against a physical Georgetown frontcourt, senior forward
Tarik Black nally broke through for a season-high 17 points on a perfect 5-5 from the oor. After
averaging just four minutes in his last three games, Black totaled 20 as he reached double-gures
in scoring for the rst time this season. Joel Embiid fared just as well as he cashed in with 17 points
on four eld goal attempts. The duo made 16 of their 21 free throw attempts as they took advantage
of 32 Georgetown fouls and three players fouling out. Kansas improved to 8-3 on the season in its
rst home game of the season against a team from a power conference.
Facing an undefeated Toledo team, the Kansas offense carried the Jayhawks as they defeated the
Rockets 93-83 at Allen Fieldhouse on Dec. 30. Three Jayhawks reached the 20-point mark as Perry
Ellis scored 21 and Naadir Tharpe and Andrew Wiggins contributed 20 apiece. The teams defense
was less impressive as the Jayhawks allowed 83 points on 46 percent shooting. The Rockets also
shot more than 50 percent from beyond the arc but were outrebounded 44-28. Ellis and Joel Embiid
recorded double-doubles in the Jayhawks ninth win of the season. Tharpes 20 points set a career
high as his impressive night also included an 88 percent eld goal percentage, eight assists and
4-5 from long-range. The Jayhawks shot 67 percent in the second half and scored 50 points in one of
their most productive offensive halves of the season.

Continuing its dominance against their in-state rivals, the Jayhawks crushed Kansas State 86-60
in Kansas home conference opener on Jan. 11. The Jayhawks played a nearly perfect rst half as
they took a 17-point lead into halftime having not committed a single turnover. Kansas State came
into the game on a 10-game winning streak behind one of the nations stingiest defenses, but the
Jayhawk offense erupted for 86 points on 56 percent shooting. Andrew Wiggins scored 17 of his 22
points in the second half to lead Kansas, while Wayne Selden had 20 in his encore performance.
Kansas State guard Marcus Foster came into the game as one of the conferences highest-scoring
freshman but struggled and only managed seven points on 25 percent shooting. The win was Kan-
sas sixth consecutive victory over the Wildcats. With Iowa State and West Virginia also losing that
day, the Jayhawks became the only Big 12 team still undefeated in conference play.
With just two days of rest and taking on No. 8 Iowa State in Ames, Iowa, the Jayhawks topped the
Cyclones 77-70 on Jan. 13 to remain atop the Big 12 standings and earn their rst win against a
ranked team on the road this season. Led by 19 rebounds from Andrew Wiggins, Kansas outrebound-
ed the Cyclones 53-36 for the night. A Naadir Tharpe 3-pointer sparked a run to open each half
for Kansas, who held the lead for all but 12 seconds in the game. Tharpe scored a career-high 23
points on 7-9 shooting, Wiggins notched 17 and Joel Embiid totaled 16 points, nine rebounds and
ve blocks. The Jayhawks were helped out by poor shooting from Iowa State as the Cyclones shot a
season-low 31 percent from the oor including 4-25 from 3-point range. It was the fourth straight
win against Iowa State for Kansas, who is the only team that has won a game in Ames the past two
years.

The Jayhawks suddenly-revived offense had been averaging 86 points a game in its last three
outings, but San Diego State put an end to that success with a 61-57 win against Kansas in Allen
Fieldhouse on Jan. 5, snapping the Jayhawks 68-game non-conference winning streak. The Aztecs
frustrated the Jayhawks with their length and athleticism as the Jayhawks shot a wretched 29.8
percent from the eldthe worst shooting percentage by a Kansas team at home in the Bill Self era.
San Diego State took the lead midway through the rst half and would eventually increase it to 11 in
the second frame. The Jayhawks cut the lead to one, but the Aztecs got key offensive rebounds late
to ice the game and hand Kansas its rst home loss of the season. Andrew Wiggins and Frank Mason
scored 14 a piece while Joel Embiid had 12 points and 12 rebounds.
Despite stumbling against San Diego State, the Jayhawks recovered in their conference opener to
defeat the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman 90-83 on Jan. 8. During the pregame shootaround, Bill Self
told Wayne Selden he needed to be more aggressive. Selden responded with his best game of the
season as he scored 24 points on 5-10 shooting from long-range. He scored 15 in the rst eight min-
utes of the game as the Jayhawks opened up an early lead. Kansas closed the rst half on an 11-1
run after a technical foul from Self to take a six-point lead into halftime. Kansas held off a late Soon-
er rally with clutch free throws from Naadir Tharpe to earn the win. Perry Ellis logged a double-double
with 22 points and 11 rebounds while Tharpe chipped in 17 on just seven eld goal attempts.

Joel Embiid, Center
Andrew Wiggins, Guard
The only thing better than Joel Embiid setting the Kansas
record for blocks in a single game (eight) against
Oklahoma State is the fact that he broke his own Kansas
record. Embiid previously swatted away seven shots
against UTEP in the Bahamas. Two more blocks against
the Cowboys would not only have made the record harder
to beat, but it would have given Embiid his rst career
triple-double. As it stands, the freshman nished the
game with 13 points, 11 rebounds and eight blocks.
The matchup with Oklahoma State was billed as a
showdown between guard Marcus Smart and Andrew
Wiggins. Only Wiggins never really showed up. The
freshman knocked down one 3-pointer in the early
goings which accounted for all of his points on
Saturday. Not that the Jayhawks needed him to put
away the Cowboys, but 1-5 shooting and early
foul trouble is worth forgetting about.

Traylor
Jamari Traylor, Forward
It might have been Traylors best game as a Jayhawk,
but will likely go unnoticed thanks to Joel Embiid,
Naadir Tharpe and a lack of Andrew Wiggins. Coming
off the bench, Traylor scored nine points and grabbed
three rebounds. The numbers arent astounding
but coupled with his physical play on both offense
and defense theres a lot to like about the
sophomore from Chicago.

For Kansas junior forward
Chelsea Gardner, Kansas' 76-
60 defeat of No. 7 Baylor on
Sunday came as no surprise.
"We came in knowing we
can beat them, practicing like
we can," Gardner said. "Coach
Bonnie [Henrickson] gave us
energy and confdence know-
ing we can win."
For most others though,
Kansas' defeat of Baylor in
Allen Fieldhouse was a total
shock. Te Bears entered Sun-
day's game possessing a 44-
game conference win streak,
while sitting atop the Big 12
with a perfect 4-0 record.
Te Jayhawks entered the
contest winners of only one of
their previous fve and averag-
ing a dismal 57 points in Big
12 play.
Kansas was led by Gardner,
who recorded her best game of
the season when the Jayhawks
needed it most. She fnished
with 28 points to complement
a game-high 13 rebounds.
"I knew I had to be more ag-
gressive," Gardner said. "Once
they started getting into foul
trouble I knew that I could get
open looks and points."
Tings didn't start of so
smoothly for Kansas, who
fell behind by as many as 11
points early in the frst half.
Baylor had a palpable advan-
tage down low, as 6-foot-4 ju-
nior Sune Agbuke blocked or
altered several Jayhawk shot
attempts.
On ofense, Baylor seemed
intent on force-feeding the
NCAA's top scorer Odyssey
Sims. Te scheme seemed
to work well in the frst half
as Sims fnished 9-18 for 21
points, scoring mainly on an
array of mid-range foaters
that the Jayhawks couldn't
seem to stop. Te rest of the
Bears combined for a brutal
4-23 shooting.
Still, Kansas trailed for the
entire frst half, only gaining a
one-point advantage seconds
before halfime. But, the Bears
converted a quick basket be-
fore intermission to regain the
lead at 32-31.
"We knew what we needed to
do [in the second half]," Hen-
rickson said. "Get the ball out
of [Sims'] hands, make things
uncomfortable and that's what
we did."
Kansas' staunch defense was
even more impressive in the
second half, causing Baylor's
Sims-or-bust game plan to fall
apart. Sims took the Bears' frst
fve shots of the second, con-
verting on only one attempt.
Te Jayhawks began to capi-
talize on their ofensive oppor-
tunities as well, going 14-26
afer shooting only 34 percent
in the frst.
"I was shocked when we
didn't come out aggressive
and confdent," Henrickson
said. "[In the second] we had
some kick-out threes, got to
the free throw line and started
to score."
Te game's pivotal moment
occurred with just over eight
minutes lef in the second half.
Kansas held a fve-point lead
when junior guard Natalie
Knight drove to the bucket
and was fouled by Agbuke,
forcing her out of the game
with her ffh foul.
Baylor coach Kim Mulkey
drew a technical foul while ar-
guing the call, resulting in four
free shots for the Jayhawks.
Kansas converted three of the
attempts and Baylor never
again got within six points.
Te Bears were unable to
spark a comeback as the shots
simply weren't falling. Sims
fnished with 31 points on
13-37 shooting (4-19 in the
second) as Kansas' physical
defense prevented her usual
efciency.
"I felt like the kids had con-
fdence in the game plan,"
Henrickson said. "I'm excit-
ed about the buy-in and the
bounceback in the game, to
keep hanging in there."
Kansas held Baylor's normal-
ly potent ofense in check as
the Bears recorded their sec-
ond-lowest scoring output of
the year while shooting only
30 percent. Even when Baylor
did score, it never came easily.
As the fnal seconds ticked
of the clock, Allen Fieldhouse
erupted and the Kansas play-
ers celebrated mid-court. All
the while, Henrickson's sea-
son-long mantra echoed in the
back of players' minds.
"It's not who you play or
where you play, but how well
you play," Henrickson said.
"And today we played well."

The Kansas bench celebrates after a basket late in the second half. Kansas defeated the No. 7 Baylor Bears in
a 76-60 upset in Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 19. The victory ended Baylors 53-game Big 12 winning streak, which
was the nations longest active streak.
jump-start the Kansas ofense
that had been stalling. With
the Cowboys up four and
one minute to go, Tarpe hit
a long two-point jumper that
proved to be the diference in
the game.
Afer coming of the bench
to begin the season, Joel Em-
biid has become a focal point
of the Kansas ofense. Te
new projected top pick in
next years NBA Draf has av-
eraged nearly 14 points, nine
rebounds and fve blocks since
the New Mexico game on Dec.
14. Embiid kept the Jayhawks
afoat afer halfime when he
scored nine of his 13 points
in the second half and reject-
ed fve Oklahoma State shot
attempts. Embiid had a sea-
son-high eight blocks against
the Cowboys smaller lineup.
He makes it a little more dif-
fcult to score in there, espe-
cially on some layups and dif-
ferent things when you think
you might have something,
Ford said.
Wiggins wasnt the only Kan-
sas player to struggle against
the Cowboys. Perry Ellis had
six points and four rebounds
in 18 minutes while Wayne
Selden scored nine and com-
mitted fve turnovers against
the Cowboys zone defense.
If you think about it, Per-
ry, Wayne and Wiggins, who
would have thought we would
win the game with those guys
having of-days the way they
did, coach Bill Self said. Tat
means the other guys stepped
up and played well.
Wiggins nearly disappeared
in the second period as he
went scoreless and attempted
just one feld goal.
Hes everything we wanted,
Self said. He just had a bad
day.
Jamari Traylor scored nine
points and Tarik Black added
eight for Kansas of the bench.
Te Jayhawks have anoth-
er quick turnaround and will
take on No. 12 Baylor (13-
4, 1-3) on Monday at Allen
Fieldhouse.

Te Jayhawks may have lost
their former star players, but
the teamis hopeful for the
upcoming season thanks to
new standouts.
Despite defeating two teams
who were higher-ranked than
them in the conference tour-
nament, including Oklahoma
State, the Jayhawks were not
invited to postseason play last
season.
We felded basically the
youngest team in the confer-
ence, said coach Ritch Price.
It was a great learning expe-
rience. We were disappointed
we didnt make the NCAA
tournament, and if we played
better on Tuesday nights we
would have made it, but I
think it was
a foundation
and it should
help us going
forward.
Jayhawk
faithfuls will
have to say
goodbye
to former
standouts
Kevin Kuntz
and Alex DeLeon who were
major factors last year.
DeLeon knocked in 10 home
runs while batting .319, and
Kuntz was as good as anybody
defensively in the country at
the shortstop position.
But as hard as it may be to
replace this dynamic duo,
Price feels as if this team
may be even better come this
spring.
We didnt have a lot of
power outside DeLeon last
year, but a lot of guys hit the
weight room and showed
improvement in the fall, Price
said.
One player who took that
stride was junior outfeld-
er Michael Suitor, who
didnt show a lot of power
last spring, hitting just one
home run in the conference
tournament. Tis past fall
Suitor batted in 6 doubles and
2 home runs to lead the way
ofensively.
Suitor isnt a fy ball hitter,
Price said. I need him to hit
20 doubles and 5 home runs,
in order for us to take the next
step ofensively. I expect him
to be one of the best players in
the league if he does that.
Another ofensive corner-
stone will be junior outfelder
Connor McKay, who showed
his reliability batting .444 this
past fall.
Connors biggest problem is
he fought himself. Hopefully
he has
matured
and he can
be more
consistent.
I think he
could have
a year like
DeLeon
did, if he
has, Price
said.
Tere wont be a question
about who takes the mound
on Friday nights as Wes Ben-
jamin has all but locked up the
ace role to lead a very talented
Kansas rotation this spring.
Benjamin is clearly our
number one. He is one of the
best pitchers around, but we
got guys like Robert Kahana
who had a really good fall, and
Frank Duncan who is pro-
jected as preseason frst-team
all-conference, Price said.
He is a guy who could put us
into the NCAA tournament if
he pitches to his ability.
Coming out of the bullpen
is former Big 12 newcomer
of the year Jordan Piche who
recorded a 1.68 ERA and
tallied 12 saves last year and is
expected to be one of the best
closers in the conference this
spring.
Jordans makeup is of the
charts. His work ethic is as
good as anyone we have ever
had. He is a very special kid,
and I expect him to have a
better year this year, Price
said.
Only time will tell if the Jay-
hawks can build on last years
success, but with a schedule
consisting of 18 teams that
fnished the year with an RPI
in the top 100, and 13 games
against teams who qualifed
for the NCAA tournament,
Price will certainly fnd out
what kind of ball club he has
fairly quickly.
