LGBTQ COORDINATOR

Student Senate will have the

opportunity to fund a full-
time LGBTQ coordinator
for the Student Involvement
Leadership Center next
week in a funding meeting,
said Tyler Childress in the
Wednesday weekly meeting.
Te coordinator position
would allow LGBTQ students
the opportunity to learn more
about diferent identities and
orientations in a judgment-
free zone.
I think this is an important
position to have so that
they can get those questions
answered that maybe, if theyre
from a conservative family,
that they cant necessarily get
answered, said Childress, who
identifes as gay.
He said the University
lags behind in comparison
to other big universities by
having a state that isnt entirely
supportive, as evidenced by
the controversial House Bill
2453.
CHARGING STATIONS
Executive members will vote
for this funding in next weeks
block fee meeting.
A new initiative to install
lockable cellular charging
stations in downtown bars was
introduced by Emma Halling,
student body vice president.
Te lockers would be smaller
than those in the recreation
center but could be accessed
by a similar self-set code
with chargers for a variety of
devices inside.
Access to rape crisis lines,
as well as cellular applications
like SafeTrek, are the reasoning
behind this addition.
You can give people as
many apps as you want, but if
their phone is dead, it doesnt
matter, said Halling.
She said she hopes to
coordinate with at least
fve popular bars, but the
collaboration is still in a
developmental stage.
OFF-CAMPUS INFRINGEMENTS
A meeting for student
senators to review of the
Student Code of Rights and
Responsibilities by the Rights
Committee was announced.
Revisions made by Jane
Tuttle and Nick Kehrwald of
Student Afairs would allow the
University to punish students
for of-campus activities, such
as an arrest during spring
break in a diferent state.
Students could be tried by
the University to assess the
situation, and while employers
wouldnt have access to the
record, other universities
would.
Its the chancellor with
the fnal say but we have
the opportunity to give
suggestions, said Kevin
Hundelt, vice chair of student
rights committee.
Prior to the changes, the
University was one of the only
schools in which students
activities of campus did not
afect their school records.
Until now, there have been
only minor edits made to the
code since the 1970s.
Te committee will meet this
weekend to discuss the change.

DAISY HILL TRANSFORMATION
CAMPUS
New residence halls will feature single-, two- and four-person suites with private bathrooms
ASHLEY BOOKER
news@kansan.com
COURTESY OF TREANOR ARCHITECTS
The proposed room plans feature two- and four-person rooms with access
to private bathrooms.
When the doors to the new
residence halls on Daisy Hill
open in fall 2015, students
will have amenities previous
generations would be envious
of: single-occupancy suites
that include two private
bedrooms on either side of a
shared bathroom.
Tese are among the
many design features that
the building architects are
creating in response to focus
groups and 510 student
surveys gathered in February
and March 2012. One
overriding message that came
through was that students
want their own private areas
but they also want places
where they can interact with
others.
I think the residence hall
of the 60s was more about
function, a bed to sleep in,
large common areas to gather
in for social functions, said
Diana Robertson, director of
student housing. Learning
was more an independent
function. Todays students
look for greater privacy in
their living space and they
expect to fnd community
spaces where they can study,
alone or in groups.
Preliminary construction on
the new residence halls will
begin March 5 at a 3:30 p.m.
groundbreaking ceremony
open to the public at the
Lied Center Pavilion, with a
reception to follow. Te $47.8
million complex will replace
McCollum Hall with two fve-
story, 350-bed, freshmen-
focused residence halls
combined with a two-story
commons building, a grassy
quad and a new entrance to
Daisy Hill. McCollum itself
will be demolished once the
complex is built and the space
will be used for a parking lot.
As they step inside the
commons building from
the quad, students will see
a freplace, grand piano and
lounging area. To the right
there will be an open kitchen
and, further back, a gaming
area.
Upstairs in the commons,
there will be a number of study
rooms with whiteboards on
the walls, a digital-production
room and a classroom with
SMART Board technology.
Te amount of space devoted
to academics will be 5,000
square feet, according to the
Student Housing website.
Students will be allowed
into the residence halls afer
swiping their KU ID cards, as
they do now. Each residence
hall will have two- and four-
person suites, along with
single-occupancy suites. By
comparison, McCollum,
which was built in 1965, has
only two-person suites.
Te single-occupancy suites
will be the frst of their kind
at the University. Te suite
includes two bedrooms,
one on each side of a shared
bathroom.
When Alexander Lawson,
a freshman from Lawrence,
was told about the single
occupancy rooms, he thought
privacy was something many
students would enjoy.
I would like living in the
single-occupancy suites,
Lawson said. Tey ofer the
shared environment that
helps to create a relationship
with your roommate, but
gives you privacy when you
need to study or sleep.
COURTESY OF TREANOR ARCHITECTS
The new residence halls on Daisy Hill are scheduled to be opened in fall 2015. The groundbreaking ceremony is March 5.
It was announced last month that parking on Daisy Hill will become limit-
ed as 334 spots will be blocked off during the construction of new residence
halls. Reporter Kayla Soper spoke with Donna Hultine, KU Parking and Tran-
sit director, about why this caught everyone by surprise.

Why was this problem not thought about before the permits were bought?
Initially, it was believed that parking lot preemptions wouldnt have to
happen until after commencement, but due to the short construction time-
line, it was necessary to allow the contractor into the lots earlier.
Will next semester students also be affected?
During construction, there will be fewer DF designated parking spaces. The
construction plans call for some temporary gravel parking areas around the
Templin parking lot and in Section E of the Lied Center parking lot. Next fall,
well accommodate as many permit requests as we have spaces available.
There are two new residence halls and a lawn area being built in this loca-
tion so these lots will not return once construction is completed.
Will the students affected be able to park at the Lied Center, or do they have
to purchase a park and ride pass?

Students with DF permits will be allowed to park in section E of the Lied
Center lot and in the Park & Ride lot. DF permits are not valid in other sec-
tions of the Lied Center parking lot. Overnight parking will be allowed only in
section E of the Lied Center parking lot.

KU student organization
Alternative Breaks has
increased in membership
since it began in 1995, from
10 students attending one
spring break service trip to
869 students volunteering at 38
diferent sites last year to meet
various needs nationwide.
Unless the organization
receives more funding from
the upcoming Senate fund
allocations, it will not be able to
continue its growth.
Alternative Breaks is
a community-outreach
organization that now provides
service trips to more than
800 KU students each year.
Trough winter, spring,
summer, fall and weekend
sessions, the program allows
students to travel around the
U.S. and volunteer at various
non-proft organizations.
More than 200 students
applied to attend the most
recent session during the
winter and more than half had
to be turned away, according
to Alternative Breaks public
relations coordinator Natalie
Parker, due to lack of staf and
number of service sites.
Our goal in the future is to
expand the number of people
that we can reach, Parker
said. If we had more money
we would do more.
Te organization requested
$52,310 from Student Senate
this weekend to expand its
program funding for the
upcoming year.
Te Senate Finance
Committee decided Tuesday
that a suggested $17,460 be
submitted for approval to the
Senate on Tursday 70
percent less than what the
organization asked for. Tat
sum includes co-directors
wages, ofce supplies, phone
charges and coverage for one
of Alternative Breaks annual
events.
Te last thing we want to
do is decrease opportunities or
turn people away, Alternative
Breaks co-director Hannah
Sitz said. We want to be able to
provide these opportunities
Without growth capital I dont
think thats going to be able to
happen.
Te fnance committees
proposed funding covered
exactly what Alternative
Breaks requested, except for
wages, Sitz said. She says wages
for core members was the
main focus of their proposal.
Currently, all members are
volunteers.
Alternative Breaks received
$10,000 last year solely for
co-directors salaries from
the Educational Opportunity
Fund. Tis year, the
organization requested wages

Alternative Breaks awaits funding decision

Becky Schieferecke, a junior from Topeka studying nursing, volun-
teered at a prison rehabilitation site two years ago called Homeboy
Industries.

I gained a lot from this experience, but I think most of all, I gained
insight, Schieferecke said. It opened my eyes to larger social is-
sues, and has made me more aware of injustices happening around
me everyday.

I think its a fantastic program for students because it gives stu-
dents an opportunity to learn something they cant learn in a class-
room, Schieferecke said. Students can get out of the Lawrence
bubble and learn incredible things about the rest of the U.S. and
about themselves.

KU Alternative Breaks public relations coordinator Natalie Parker
volunteered last year in Washington D.C. for A Wider Circle, an
organization that provides support to impoverished families.

I really like Alternative Breaks because it allows you to serve and be
educated about a cause and nonprot, Parker said. It also allows
you to connect with KU students you might not usually connect with.

We really like the sites where they do training for some of our par-
ticipants because theyre getting to know a little bit more about the
cause.

HEAR FROM THE VOLUNTEERS
Te recent arrival and
premature departure of
YouTube channel Im
Shmacked is raising
questions about the role of
partying at the University of
Kansas.
Im Shmacked arrived
on campus last Wednesday,
hoping to flm Saturdays
basketball game, as well as
the campus, school spirit and
the culture, according to its
Twitter account.
But the group lef two days
later without making a video,
tweeting, KU is sick so it
shouldnt be hard to have a
good time but people have
the wrong idea about us and
theres nothing we can really
do about it.
Tis is the most recent
instance of the channel leaving
a school without flming,
but its not the frst. Multiple
fraternities at James Madison
University denied the group
access to their parties last
month as well, forcing Im
Shmacked to move on.
Jill Jess, director of KU
News Service, said eforts
from student leaders of
organizations like the
Panhellenic Association
and the KU Interfraternity
Council ultimately resulted in
Im Shmacked leaving town
without flming.
Clearly our student leaders
did not think this group
represented the kind of image
they want for their university,
Jess said. I commend them
for their strong message to
their constituencies urging
them not to participate with
flmmakers this weekend.
Maggie Young, the
Panhellenic Association
President at the University,
said her responsibility with
Im Shmacked being on
campus was to simply to let
students know of its presence
and remind them of the
potential ramifcations.
I informed the women
in my community of the
situation, for the sole purpose
of ensuring that they were
aware Im Shmacked
would be visiting campus,
Young said. We all know
that negative social media
can have a lasting efect on
an individuals life, and I
simply wanted women in the
Panhellenic community to
keep that in mind while Im
Shmacked was in town.
Kevin Simpson, the
President of the KU
Interfraternity Council,
sent out an email to the 24
fraternity chapter presidents,
reminding them of the
presence of Im Shmacked
and the need to promote
their organizations values. He
said there was an agreement
amongst them all that any
potential bad attention
needed to be avoided.
We saw it as more of an
opportunity than a threat,
Simpson said. I think it was
just kind of a united front and
everyone was on the same
page in terms of knowing that
the greek community here
is working hard to present
a strong public image. I was
really happy there werent any
negative repercussions from
the weekend.
Simpson said it wasnt a
case of making sure members
werent flmed, but rather they
were acting appropriately in
front of any cameras.
Im sure that if our members
were on a video like that, Im
sure that it would draw quite a
bit of interest, he said. So its
defnitely important to us that
if anyone was on camera that
they were representing the
University and community
well.
Te exposure of party life
at the University is nothing
new, though. Last semester
some University students
were interviewed as part of
a video from Al Jazeera that
documented a tailgating party
at a University fraternity.
Te Lawrence nightlife is
well documented online on
websites like College Prowler
as well, which lists the
University as the 43rd biggest
party school in the country,
using student reviews for on-
campus parties, of-campus
bars and clubs, and options
for students under 21 as
metrics for the rating.
Although it is a concern
that prospective students
look at rankings like these
when choosing a college,
a 2013 study from UCLA
found that most students
prioritize academics more
than anything when making
their decision.
For John Aduma, a senior
from Gardner, afordability
and academics were among
his top priorities when
choosing a school, but he said
the nightlife played a role in
the decision for a lot of his
friends.
It was defnitely a mentality
among people I was with,
Aduma said. Te main
reason youre here is to get a
degree and get an education,
but if you have that covered,
theres nothing wrong with
going out and experiencing
that though.
Ellie Eastes, an orientation
coordinator from Pratt,
helps acclimate incoming
freshman to college life at the
University. She said its clear
incoming students are aware
and curious of the party life
at the University, so much so
that orientation assistants
are even trained to deal with
the questions they get on the
topic.
A lot of times the
conversation at orientation
goes into the nightlife in
Lawrence, Eastes said.
Tings like Im Shmacked
make people come in with a
lot of expectations that theyre
going to come here and party
and thats going to be their
life, so I think thats what a lot
of people see and hear about
and that can be misleading or
unsettling for some students.
Although Eastes said
the incoming students she
encounters have already
made assumptions and heard
rumors regarding the nightlife
at the University, she thinks
things students see online can
exacerbate their unreasonable
expectations.
You hear about all the
parties and that were a big
state school, and Ive talked
with students who feel thats
the expectation or thats
what they have to do, Eastes
said. I think things like Im
Shmacked kind of push that
expectation further.

For more privacy and
fexibility, contractors have
also designed separate areas
for the toilet, sink and shower
in the four-person suite
bathrooms something
even renovated halls dont
have. Every suite will also
have its own bathroom. Tis
is diferent from McCollum,
which only had one bathroom
by gender on each foor for
residents to share.
When students were asked
in surveys and focus groups
what stood out at other
universities compared to KU,
they said other universities
have grassy-quad areas for
students to cross paths,
converse and hang out.
Robertson said that they are
changing the row of residence
halls to have a more compact,
connected space for the
students.
Tis project is going
to transform Daisy Hill,
Robertson said.

JAKE KAUFMANN/KANSAN
K
ansas was not
always the bastion
of far-right politics
that we think of today.
In fact, the state has
long been renowned for
its pragmatic political
leaders and progressive
worldview. It was the frst
state to implement such
programs as workers
compensation for injuries
and the regulation of
risky securities markets.
It also found itself well
ahead of the curve on
social policies, enacting
womens sufrage eight
years before the nation as
a whole and producing the
landmark Brown vs. Board
of Education decision.
Famed moderates like
Dwight D. Eisenhower
and Bob Dole were
emblematic of Kansass
approach to politics one
of moderation. However,
in recent years, the state
of Kansas has taken a
troubling turn to the
far-right, an efort led by
Governor Sam Brownback.
Over the last four
decades, social
conservatives have
developed a stronghold of
traditional values within
the state. Wedge issues like
abortion and gay marriage
struck deep emotional
cords within the populace,
whipping voters into a
frenzy that has contributed
to the dangerously one-
sided political climate
that we fnd ourselves in
today. A frm foundation
of social conservatism,
combined with the fervor
of the Tea Party Movement,
subsequently opened the
foodgates for extremist
lawmakers to wrestle power
away from moderates and
enact an anti-government
agenda of unprecedented
proportions. Tese well-
funded zealots now stand
on the brink of wiping out
the last traces of Kansass
moderate lawmakers.
With the moderate
establishment defeated,
Governor Brownback has
been able to conduct his
political experiments free
from opposition.
In his brief three years
in power, Brownback
has overseen a radical
restructuring of the state.
Government services
have been gutted to make
way for tax cuts favoring
afuent Kansans. Public
education has been
slashed, losing 18 percent
of its funding according
to the Center on Budget
and Policy Priorities.
Additionally, Kansas has
become the frst state to
wholly defund its arts
commission, and new
waves of strict voting laws
have currently suspended
the voting privileges
of over 12,000 Kansas
registrants according to the
Wichita Eagle.
Most concerning of all,
however, is that the state
has recently come close to
legalizing religion-based
discrimination against
gays and lesbians through
House Bill 2453. Te bill
reads, No individual or
religious entity shall be
required [to] provide any
services, accommodations,
advantages, facilities,
goods, or privileges
or provide employment
or employment benefts,
related to, or related
to the celebration of,
any marriage, domestic
partnership, civil union
or similar arrangement.
In efect bringing back the
legality of the statement,
We dont serve your kind
here. Tis represents an
irrational, unconstitutional
exercise of government-
sponsored bigotry that
is so ofensive to human
dignity that its very
consideration is shameful.
Te fact that this measure
overwhelmingly passed the
House of Representatives is
cause for serious alarm.
How has Kansas sunk so
low? How has this great
state been allowed to be
manipulated into following
policies detrimental to
the general welfare and
lethal to social cohesion?
Te answer is simple:
Te voters have allowed
it. Soon the voters will
have a chance to correct
this and restore balance
to the system. Its time
to end Kansass march to
the fringe of the political
spectrum and return to the
realm of reason. Its time to
restore Kansas promise of
a better, inclusive future.
Its time to change Kansas.

Kansas politics have
become too extreme
E
ven the most
conservative person will
tell you that, someday,
fossil fuel dominance may
end. How? With the worlds
most tired buzzwords:
technology and innovation.
Maybe, someone will one day
discover or invent the next
energy source. Te belabored
point is the samewho knows
what disruptive force will
change the energy mix?
Let me take a stronger
position than the who
knows? perspective. Te
dominant future energy
source is fossil fuel. No
question.
Te worlds dependence on
crude oil is too strong. Natural
gas, coal and other fossil fuels
continue to make strides
in electricity generation,
industrial processes and
heating, but the infrastructure
surrounding crude oil is
virtually irreplaceable. I know
I lack creativity, but I cant
imagine a world without jet
fuel, gasoline, plastics or other
synthetic products.
Only a more economic
resource could displace
crude oil, just as the more
economic kerosene displaced
whale oil. Should we stop
using kerosene, a dirty
nonrenewable fuel, and
instead breed thousands of
whales for their whale oil? We
could have whale farms. Te
point: it has to be economic.
Teres a common
misconception by outsiders
to the energy business that
any innovation or technology
breakthrough automatically
means renewable energy. Te
public has this expectation
that the resource that kills
king crude will be carbon
dioxide neutral as well as
renewable. Tats a nice
thought, and I hope it
happens. I hope the world
runs on clean, renewable
energy. But I wouldnt bet
on it.
Tanks to powerful
environment and
sustainability movements,
consistent improvements in
oil and gas processing have
made fossil fuel production
more economical, though
hardly innovative. Tese
improvements go relatively
unnoticed, and the ones that
are noticed are demonized.
Yet because of these
advancements, frms can move
beyond the lowest hanging
fruit, into more complex
hydrocarbon resources.
Meanwhile, renewable
energy seems to be treading
water. Only so many rivers
can be dammed to produce
electricity. And the trade
of rare earth metals like
neodymium and tellurium,
used in wind turbines and
solar panels respectively, easily
puts the brakes on investment.
Our cars will only take so
much ethanol mixed with
gasoline. What next?
As much as anyone,
including myself, hates to
admit it, whats next is more
crude oil. More natural gas.
More coal. Does this mean
renewables dont belong?
Not at all. Teyre part of the
energy portfolio. Tey should
continue to be subsidized, to
explore the possibilities. But
dont buy the idea that theyll
replace oil and gas within the
next 50 years, or even come
close. Were all waiting for
something beyond all our
imaginations to disrupt the
energy industry.

FFA OF THE DAY

Just made eye contact

with Embiid. Twice. You
could say things are
getting pretty serious.
Its fnally here. Afer
numerous delays, Schoolboy
Qs Oxymoron has fnally
hit store shelves and iTunes.
Te album has been hyped
to be one of the best releases
of 2014, and while its a good
album it doesnt entirely live
up to the hype it received.
Schoolboy Q has a great
ear for production, theres
no doubt about it. Tere
isnt one single bad beat
on Oxymoron. It features
production from a multitude
of producers including
Pharrell, Tyler, the Creator,
and longtime collaborator
Sounwave. Because Q uses
so many producers, the
production is diverse, it
features everything from
smooth, soulful, laid-back
tracks to energetic, bass-
heavy songs.
Te excellent production
is sometimes a detriment
to the album. For example,
sometimes the instrumental
is more interesting than what
Q is rapping. Also, during a
few of the laid back songs,
Qs vocals get drowned in
the music which makes the
song boring and ultimately
unenjoyable.
Even with his faws,
Schoolboy Q is a great rapper.
When hes at his best, hes
amazingly entertaining, and
Q is on his A-game for the
majority of this album. Te
opening track Gangsta is a
great example of his A-game
material, everything from
his ad-libs to the pitch of his
voice makes this track work.
Another example of Q at his
best is on the seventh track
Prescription/Oxymoron. In
the frst part of the song, he
details the image of himself
as a drug abuser with two
amazing storytelling verses.
Te second part is about
how he used to sell the same
drugs he was once addicted
to. Te imagery that Q creates
is vivid and detailed which
makes this one of the best
songs on the album.
Te album has a few guest
features that include his
label-mate Kendrick Lamar
and fellow west coast rapper
Tyler, the Creator. Tyler
features on the eighth track,
Te Purge, and it would
have been great for him to
have an entire guest verse
instead of just the hook
because the production on
the track is perfect for him.
When the tracklist was frst
revealed many fans noted
that there wasnt a feature
from ASAP Rocky. Tis
was disappointing because
Schoolboy Q and ASAP
Rocky share some of the
best chemistry in rap and
every song theyve made
together has been good.
Later it was revealed that
ASAP Rocky was indeed
on the album, but only as a
Target exclusive bonus track,
Californication, which
ended up being one of the
best songs on the album and
should have been included in
the standard edition.
Before the album came out
Qs label, TDE, hyped this
album up like it would be
an instant classic that would
change the entire genre of
rap. Its a good album, but
its not quite that good. Also,
it didnt help that a lot of
the best songs were released
as singles before the album
came out, which took away
from the overall enjoyment of
the album because not all of
the songs were as great as the
singles.
Oxymoron isnt the album
that we thought it would
be, but its still a very good
album and is defnitely worth
a listen.

TOP DAWG
By Ryan Wright
entertain@kansan.com
NEW YORK History
doesnt always repeat itself.
Te hit to TJX Cos. was
minimal afer it disclosed in
2007 a massive data breach
of customer information at
its T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and
HomeGoods stores.
But Target Corp. isnt faring
as well: More than two months
afer it revealed that hackers
stole credit card numbers and
personal data of millions of its
customers, Targets sales, proft
and stock prices have dropped.
Whats worse, the nations
second largest discounter faces
the prospect that some shaken
shoppers may not return to its
stores for a long time. In fact,
Target on Wednesday said it
expects business to be muted
for some time, though it said
sales are recovering since the
breach was disclosed in mid-
December.
TJX declined to comment for
this story, but John Mulligan,
Targets chief fnancial ofcer,
told Te Associated Press on
Wednesday that the most loyal
customers have stuck with
Target, but wooing back others
will take time.
We need to remind people
why they fell in love with
Target, he said.
TJX found itself in the same
situation years ago when it
announced what was the largest
security breach by a retailer at
the time. Still, the fortunes of
TJX Cos. and Target may wind
up being quite diferent.
Although the data breaches
at the two retailers each
afected millions of shoppers,
analysts say a combination
of factors makes Targets
challenge bigger. Tose include
the timing of each companys
disclosure and Americans
heightened sensitivity toward
privacy concerns now versus
before the TJX breach.
Te retailers fates are
playing out diferently so far.
TJXs stock slid 12 percent
in the weeks afer the breach
disclosure to as low as $13. But
by the end of 2007, the shares
rebounded and today, theyre
trading at about $58.
Sales also werent derailed
in the breachs afermath:
Revenue at stores opened at
least a year, an important retail
measurement, were up a better-
than-expected 4 percent for the
year following the breach.
Meanwhile, Target said on
Wednesday that its proft in the
fourth quarter fell 46 percent
on a revenue decline of 5.3
percent as the breach scared of
customers worried about the
security of their private data.
Revenue at stores open at least
a year fell 2.5 percent.
Targets stock had fallen 11
percent since it disclosed the
breach in mid-December.
But on Wednesday, investors
pushed shares up nearly
7 percent on the news of
recovering sales. Te stock
is now trading at about $60,
down 5 percent since the thef
was disclosed.
TMI: TOO MUCH INFORMATION?
Analysts say one reason
Target is sufering more than
TJX did may have something
to do with the timing of their
disclosures.
Target disclosed on Dec.
19 data breach compromised
40 million credit and debit
card accounts between Nov.
27 and Dec. 15. Target said
it disclosed its breach within
days of fnding out about it,
shortly afer the news was
leaking online. But the news
came at the worst time for a
retailer: During the fnal days
before Christmas, the busiest
shopping period of the year.
Ten, Target revealed the
thef was wider than originally
believed a month later. On
Jan. 10, it said hackers also
stole personal information
including names, phone
numbers as well as email and
mailing addresses from as
many as 70 million customers.
Target has said there is some
overlap between the two
batches of data stolen. When
the fnal tally is in, Targets
breach may eclipse the thef
at TJX, which is the largest
incident for a retailer on
record.
Conversely, TJX found
out about its breach in mid-
December 2006, but didnt
make it public until the
following month. TJXs thef
compromised more than
90 million records over an
18-month period starting in
mid-2005.
Initially, in March 2007, the
retailer disclosed that 45.6
million credit cards were
compromised, but a group of
banks suing the retailer put
that number at more than 90
million in an October 2007
court fling.
STRUGGLES ELSEWHERE
Te fallout from Targets
breach also comes as the
company is struggling with
other problems whereas TJXs
business was doing well at the
time of its disclosure.
Target was already
experiencing sluggish sales
in the U.S. as its faced
increased competition from
online retailers and other
rivals. Abroad, its facing
disappointing results from its
frst international expansion
into Canada.
On the other hand, the
breach at TJX happened as
its formula of ofering big
discounts on major fashion and
home brands was resonating
even more as the country was
heading into a recession.
COSTS, COSTS, COSTS
Target said it cant yet
estimate how much the data
breach will cost it in total. But
Avivah Litan, a security analyst
at technology research frm
Gartner Inc., a technology
research frm, puts the costs of
the Target breach at between
$400 million and $450 million,
including bills associated
with fnes from credit card
companies and services for
its customers like free credit
report monitoring.
But TJXs costs, which
Litan estimated at about $275
million, pale in comparison.
Tat included costs associated
with lawsuit settlements and
fxing its security systems.
Litan said Target faces
more costs because there
was more damage from the
breach. In the case of TJX,
about three-quarters of the
cards compromised had either
expired by the time of the
thef or had masked data in
the magnetic strip, meaning
the information was stored as
asterisks rather than numbers.
It took the criminals much
longer to get them to the black
market and then turned into
counterfeit cards, Litan said
of the TJX breach. Tis time,
the criminals moved with
lightning speed to cash out.

HEALTH
Ex-lawmaker makes plea for Alzheimers research
WASHINGTON Four
years ago, Dennis Moore
retired from the House of
Representatives, discouraged
by relentless partisan bickering.
Te former Kansas
congressman returned to
Capitol Hill on Wednesday to
urge his old colleagues on both
sides of the aisle to invest in
fnding a cure for Alzheimers,
a degenerative brain disease
from which he sufers.
Moore, 68, told a Senate
health appropriations
subcommittee about the loss of
his father to Alzheimers, and
his own diagnosis in 2011.
I had become concerned
when I noticed I was having
some difculty remembering
random events and difculty
managing our household
fnances, Moore said. Since
then, I have learned coping
skills but still recognize the
issue I have with my short-
term memory loss.
Increased funding for
Alzheimers research,
education and support should
be a bipartisan goal, Moore
said.
I really think we need to
fnd those areas where we can
and should fnd agreement,
he said. Good people on both
sides work together, and there
truly are good people on both
sides. Tis is a disease that is
afecting many people around
the world. We need to fnd a
way to really manage it more
efectively.
In addition to his
advocacy for the Alzheimers
Association, Moore now flls
his time by volunteering to
play guitar at senior centers
and spending time with family.
He still drives, using a GPS
device just in case he gets lost.
Im getting a little bored afer
having this busy, busy career
over the years, he confessed.
Stir-crazy is a good way to put
it.
At the hearing, Moore read
from a prepared statement and
answered questions from his
former colleagues.
He spoke in personal terms
about the economic costs of
Alzheimers, the most common
cause of dementia in older
adults. Te disease is fatal.
Not only does Alzheimers
steal our memories,
independence and eventually
our ability to function, it
demands increasing amounts
of care, Moore told the
panel of senators. Beyond
the exhaustion and stress,
there is the fnancial burden.
Alzheimers is creating an
enormous strain on the health
care system, families and the
federal budget.
Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan.,
asked Moore what he does on
a daily basis to keep symptoms
at bay.
Moore said he takes
medication and exercises daily.
My wife encourages me
to do that and Im a good
husband. I say, Yes dear, he
said to laughter.
Te way that youre living
your life gives others courage
and hope, Moran said.
Moran, the ranking member
of the subcommittee, called
Moore a friend and applauded
his desire to take his own
difcult challenge and use it to
help others.
He and other senators at the
hearing likened fnding a cure
for Alzheimers to investing
in the goal of landing on the
moon.
For every $27 Medicaid and
Medicare spends, the federal
government only spends
$1 on Alzheimers research,
Moran said. Without a way to
prevent or cure Alzheimers,
Moran said, it will be all
but impossible to rein in our
nations health care costs.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

We need to remind people

why they fell in love with
Target.
JOHN MULLIGAN
Target chief nancial ofcer
Te group of women
claiming to be from the
Childrens Joy Foundation
were not approved to be on
campus Monday.
University policies require
outside organizations to
partner up with a student
organization and get approval
before they can come and
solicit donations on campus.
Neither the University
Events Committee nor the
Union Events Services had
any record of such approvals.
Tey also violated campus
policy by walking around
and approaching students for
donations. Organizations that
set up at the Union need to
remain behind a table. Tese
women were walking around
and approaching students to
ask for donations.
When we had discovered
that they were there, we
asked them to leave because
we had not approved them
to be there, said Lisa Kring,

director.
Te group was asked to
leave repeatedly before they
lef the Union, Kring said.
We did some research on
the group and determined
that it was fraudulent,
Kring said. We notifed our
staf to be watchful of such
solicitation going forward
and notifed the public
safety ofce on campus.
While the Childrens Joy
Foundation is a legitimate
non-proft organization,
it is unclear whether the
group who came to campus
on Monday and solicited
donations is part of the
foundation.
Te Ofce of Public Safety is
looking into what happened.
Te bottom line is
whenever anybody feels that
someone is not supposed to
be here on campus, we will be
glad to come and investigate,
whether they are soliciting
or just acting strangely, said
Chris Keary, assistant chief of
police services. At that point,
we will determine if they have
appropriate approvals to be
where they need to be. Tey
may not be against the law but
against the policy.
Te Childrens Joy
Foundation has not yet
confrmed whether the
organization had volunteers
soliciting donations on
campus on Monday.

LISA KRING
Events Services director
FUNDING FROM PAGE 2
members, which accounted for
$50,150 of the full proposal.
Were really grateful for the
(proposed) increased director
salaries, Sitz said. But we think
it still under-represents how
much the directors work and
were very disappointed that
core wages were not addressed
at all.
Of the 20 core members
who volunteer to work for
Alternative Breaks, 11 work
two or three other jobs. If their
positions were considered part-
or full-time jobs, they could
devote more time to Alternative
Breaks, Sitz said.
Last year, Alternative Breaks
added fve additional weeklong
sites and more weekend sites.
Sitz says the organization has
maintained that level this year,
but has reached its limit.
We can maintain this current
level of basically non-funding,
but we really dont think that
our current level of capacity will
be able to fully accommodate
all of the growth that we foresee
happening, Sitz said.
Alternative Breaks has added
a new event this year to cultivate
growth. JD Stier, leader of
the nonproft organization
the Enough Project, will
visit campus in early April
to talk about his experiences
with advocacy. Parker said
the purpose of the event is to
educate people who have and
have not attended a break about
advocacy and service learning.
I think were really trying to
engage the KU community in
a lot of diferent ways, not just
from our breaks, Parker said.
Student Senate will make
fnal funding decisions
for all registered student
organizations proposed line
allocations in two weeks.

Texas Prince Ibeh (44) is blocked by Baylors Rico Gathers (2) during the game Wednesday, in Austin, Texas.
Ridley leads No. 24 Texas to
victory against Baylor 74-69
AUSTIN, Texas Cameron
Ridley had 20 points and 10
rebounds and made a big
defensive play with a block in
the fnal minute as No. 24
Texas held on to beat Baylor
74-69 on Wednesday night.
Javan Felix scored 21 points
on seven 3-pointers for Texas,
which led by 18 points in the
frst half but saw Baylor pull
within one point late in the
game.
Isaiah Taylor scored 13
points for the Longhorns (21-
7, 10-5 Big 12), including a
twisting lef-handed layup
that put Texas ahead 72-69.
Ridley blocked a layup by
Kenny Chery before Taylor
made two free throws.
Texas got a much-
needed win to restore its
confdence afer losing three
of its previous fve games,
including two blowout losses
on the road.
Chery scored 27 points for
Baylor (18-10, 6-9), which
saw its four-game winning
streak snapped.
Felix scored 15 points
and Ridley had 13 as the
Longhorns shot 51 percent
in building a 42-27 halfime
lead.
Baylor rallied with an 18-7
run to open the second half
sparked by a 3-pointer by
Chery and two more from
Brady Heslip that pulled the
Bears within 49-45. Baylor
kept fring away over Texas
zone and kept making shots
to keep shaving the lead. Te
Bears made six 3-pointers in
the second half.
Baylor cut the Texas
lead to 59-56 before
Jonathan Holmes rescued
the Longhorns with eight
consecutive points, including
an acrobatic reverse layup
when he snagged a rebound
in midair and had to twist his
body backward just to get of
the shot.
Holmes burst put Texas
up 67-60 and the Longhorns
needed every point of the
cushion over the fnal 4
minutes. Cory Jeferson got
the Bears within 70-69 with
1:37 to play before Taylor and
Ridley fnally sealed it for the
Longhorns.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
From the opening tip,
things didnt look good for
the Jayhawks. In the latest
installment of the Sunfower
Showdown, Kansas State
jumped out to an 18-0 lead in
the frst fve minutes without
missing a shot, starting the
game eight of eight from
the feld en route to a 76-68
K-State victory Wednesday
night.
With the Jayhawks going
for a season sweep and fourth
straight victory over their
bitter in-state rival, they fell
fat on their faces in the frst
half, never looking like a
team that could compete with
the quicker, more physical
Wildcats.
Kansas fnally forced a
Wildcat miss at the 14:07
mark, but immediately turned
the ball over and allowed
another K-State basket and
extended the lead to 21-0.
It was just that kind of night.
In order to win this game,
we knew it was probably going
to take some efective ofense,
K-State coach Debra Patterson
said. We were fortunate
enough to get out to a hot
start.
Te scoring drought for the
Jayhawks fnally ended with a
Chelsea Gardner free throw at
the 13:07 mark, which started
a 6-0 run for the Jayhawks.
But no matter what they did,
K-State had an answer.
We didnt show up with
any pop and let them
smack us aroundits just
disappointing, Kansas coach
Bonnie Henrickson said. I
still cant believe it. Tats how
we start the game.
To put the Wildcats
dominance in the frst half
into perspective, through the
frst 10 minutes of the game,
only two Jayhawks scored
Gardner and Natalie Knight.
No one else scored for Kansas
until Lamaria Cole made a
driving layup at the 9:29 mark.
Turnovers, missed layups and
permeable defense plagued
the Jayhawks in the frst 20
minutes. Kansas shot just 32
percent from the feld, turned
the ball over eight times and
allowed the Wildcats to shoot
50 percent, helping them to a
37-24 halfime lead.
K-State freshman guard
Leticia Romero caused
trouble for the Jayhawks all
night. She used ball screens
efectively, leading to layups
and assists underneath the
basket. Romero fnished with
26 points, eight rebounds and
seven assists.
We tried to get into her, we
tried to trap her and nothing
(worked), Henrickson said.
She was just getting loose and
making plays.
But when Kansas came out in
the second half, it looked like
the team that fnally realized
this was a rivalry game, and
came out fring.
I personally never thought
we were down and out, junior
guard Natalie Knight said. I
knew we were going to make
a run, but it was more about if
were able to sustain it.
Junior guard Asia Boyd was
the catalyst for such a run in
the second half. She ignited
the Jayhawk rally, scoring
10 points and providing a
defensive spark.
She was making some great
plays, Patterson said. She hit
a big three and I thought she
came out in the second half
saying oh no you dont. She
was playing really well.
But Kansas couldnt sustain
its run. Even when the
Jayhawks tied the game at 57
with 6:42 lef in regulation,
the Wildcats had an answer.
K-State used a 9-1 run to go
up 66-58 with just under four
minutes to play and put the
game away.
Every game weve got to
bring energy, Boyd said.
We were just fat. We werent
stopping them defensively and
we werent converting on the
ofensive endso, thats what
you get.

The preseason co-favorites to win
the Big 12 have arguably been the
nations biggest disappointment
this season. Oklahoma State
started off winning 12 of their rst
13 games but, the Cowboys have
lost nine games including a sev-
en-game losing streak. Oklahoma
State stands at eighth place in
the Big 12 and will need to nish
strong to make the NCAA Tourna-
ment.
Marcus Smart
Smart is on a mission after his
suspension and will be looking
to prove himself against the best
team in the Big 12. The Cowboys
went 0-3 while Smart didnt play,
highlighting his importance to the
team.
How will the Cowboys stop Joel
Embiid and Perry Ellis?
Kansas has a considerable ad-
vantage in the paint as Oklaho-
ma State essentially starts four
guards. They may have to dou-
ble-team the post players and
force the Jayhawks to shoot from
the outside, where they are less
efcient down low.

QUESTION MARKS
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2014 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE 10
Naadir Tharpe, guard
Fans are very happy to see how Tharpe turned his game around against
Oklahoma with a 19-point game. He scored 12 points in the last six minutes
after Kansas lost the lead. Tharpe showed his leadership and experience to
push Kansas to victory by hitting all four free-throw attempts less than a
minute left in the game. People cant expect Tharpe to continue this perfor-
mance because before Monday. He only had eight points and 11 assists in
the previous three games combined.

Wayne Selden, Jr., guard

Selden came off a great game against Oklahoma where he scored 13 of his
15 points in the rst half. He showed off his versatility in the rst half by
making three out of four 3-pointers and driving to the basket. Selden was
4-4 from the foul line in the rst half, but didnt take a single free throw
the rest of the game. Selden needs to stay aggressive throughout the game
to be consistent, because when Selden gets to the free-throw line more, his
scoring shows.

Andrew Wiggins, guard
The most valuable player for the Jayhawks this season has been Wiggins.
He averages the most points (16.3 ppg), the most steals (1) and hes third
in rebounds (5.8). Kansas has counted on Wiggins in clutch moments and
hes been the go-to guy when the team needs 3-pointer. Coach Bill Self
said Wiggins most-improved aspect of his game is driving ability. Expect
Wiggins to continuously carry the heavy load of the offense through the rest
of the season.

Perry Ellis, forward

Since scoring 32 points against TCU on Feb. 15, Ellis hasnt found room for
his offensive game. The reason why Ellis has gotten into a drought is be-
cause freshman center Joel Embiid rejoined the lineup after injuries. In the
three games that Ellis and Embiid played side-by-side, Ellis has averaged
only seven points because the paint has beenclogged up. Expect to see Ellis
take more outside shots.

Joel Embiid, center

Embiid is starting to get back into the groove after missing one game due
to injuries. The past three games, Embiid has averaged 14 points, nine re-
bounds and three blocks. On Monday, Embiid recorded his rst double-dou-
ble since Feb. 8 against West Virginia, which means Embiid has recovered
from his lingering injuries. The Jayhawks offense has improved from Em-
biid coming back because the team has scored more than 80 points the
past two games.

STARTERS
When Oklahoma State came to Al-
len Fieldhouse on Jan. 18, Kansas
won a close two-point game that
came down to a last-second shot.
The Jayhawks already captured a
share of the Big 12 title. But a win
in Stillwater, Okla., could mean
they win the Big 12 Conference
outright. There would be nothing
better for us than to go down there
and do something special in a
juiced building on someone elses
court, coach Self said.
Andrew Wiggins
The last time Wiggins faced the
Cowboys, he was held to a sea-
son-low three points on 1-5 from
the eld. The ve eld goal at-
tempts was a season-low as well.
Wiggins has played substantially
better since the game against
Oklahoma State. On Saturday, the
team will rely on Wiggins to guard
Marcus Smart and to provide a
majority of the scoring.
Can Naadir Tharpe continue
where he left off on Monday?
On Jan. 18, Tharpe scored 21
points against the Cowboys, which
should be promising for Satur-
day. But this season has shown
how inconsistent Tharpe can be.
He has scored in double-digits in
only seven of the 28 games this
season. As the upperclassman on
the team, Tharpe should be having
more games similar to Mondays.

Andrew Wiggins has seven straight
games of double-digit scoring

Kansas has won or taken a share of
10 straight Big 12 titles
Kansas can hold the Cowboys
under 40 percent from beyond the
arc. On Jan. 18, Oklahoma State
hit 12 of 28 3-pointers. The Cow-
boys were led by sophomore guard
Phil Forte, who made seven out of
10 3-point shots. The Jayhawks
will have to guard the perimeter
extra tight this time around.

Edited by Paige Lytle

Marcus Smart, guard
Last years Big 12 Player of the Year is coming off a three-game suspension
for shoving a fan in the Texas Tech game on Feb. 8. In his two games since,
he has averaged 16.5 points and 8.5 assists. Smart ranks among the Big
12s leaders in scoring and assists, and he leads the conference with 2.56
steals per game. He was considered a National Player of the Year candidate
at the beginning of the season.

Phil Forte III, guard

The 5-11 sophomore has found a new gear lately, coming off three straight
20-plus scoring outings. Against Kansas on Jan. 18, Forte scored 23 points
and made seven of 10 3-point attempts as the Cowboys nearly erased a
19-point decit. He ranks second in the conference in 3-pointers made and
3-point percentage.

LeBryan Nash, forward

Nash is an athletic forward averaging 14.4 points and 5.8 rebounds a
game. Nash chooses his shots carefully as he leads the Big 12 in eld goal
percentage shooting 52.7 percent from the eld. The junior has reached the
20-point mark ve times in conference action but is also known to disap-
pear at times, including in his last game against TCU when he scored ve
points on four eld goal attempts.

Markel Brown, forward

Brown ranks sixth in the conference with 16.8 points per game. The senior
is a solid shooter who isnt afraid to shoot from long range. He scored 15
points against Kansas on Jan. 18 and hit ve of his nine attempts from
three. He has been inconsistent lately, totaling 18 points in his late two
games after scoring 52 in his previous two.

Kamari Murphy, center

The sophomores minutes increased dramatically after forward Michael
Cobbins went down with a torn Achilles in late December. Murphys high-
est-scoring game of the season came against the Jayhawks at Allen Field-
house when he scored 12 points and made ve of 10 eld goal attempts.

T
he Wichita State Shockers
recently hit the record books
when they became the frst
Division I mens team to go 30-0
in a regular season afer defeating
Bradley on Tuesday. But fans are
not shy of discussing Wichita States
sof schedule anytime the Shockers
success is mentioned.
But lets not ignore the fact that
Wichita State, currently No. 2 in the
nation, reached the 30-win mark
afer losing guard Malcolm Arm-
stead and forward Carl Hall, two
of the teams top three scorers who
helped the Shockers reach the Final
Four last year. What Wichita State
has done is not easy. But as many
fans have mentioned, Wichita State
has yet to beat a ranked team. In
fact, Wichita States season is similar
to another teams recent success that
Kansas and Wichita State fans are
familiar with.
Afer undergoing a change in the
front ofce and the quarterback
position, the Kansas City Chiefs
cruised through the frst nine games,
triumphantly. However, the Chiefs
were eventually criticized during
their undefeated run for not beating
a playof caliber team. Te Chiefs
defeated the Philadelphia Eagles
in week three, but that was during
Philadelphias early struggle and
before the team made a switch at
quarterback to eventually make the
playofs.
As the last unbeaten team in the
NFL at 9-0, cynics projected the
Chiefs to struggle in their remain-
ing seven games. Surely enough,
the Chiefs went 2-5 to fnish the
season. Tey defeated the Washing-
ton Redskins and Oakland Raiders,
who combine for a record of 7-25.
During the 2-5 fnish to the season,
the Kansas City Chiefs fell to the San
Diego Chargers, Indianapolis Colts
and Denver Broncos, twice, all of
which made the playofs.
Could Wichita State follow a simi-
lar path as it prepares for the
NCAA Tournament?
Small programs, like
Wichita State, are usually in-
spiring stories. But fans and
the media who have brought
up the Shockers strength of
schedule have overshadowed
the teams perfect season.
Pessimists have given
Wichita State coach Gregg
Marshall little to no credit
when he deserves more
for what hes done for the
program.
Since Marshalls frst
season at Wichita State, the team
went 11-20 and fnished ninth in the
Missouri Valley Conference. Since
then, the Shockers have accelerated
and improved their standing in the
conference through 2012, in which
they fnished frst. Marshall then
coached the Shockers to the Final
Four last year and has achieved suc-
cess once again this year as he is one
game away from a perfect regular
season.
Te Missouri Valley Conference
provides limited competition,
making it likely that Wichita State
wins its regular season fnale against
Missouri
State as
well as
the three
games
in the
conference
tournament
in St. Louis.
All eyes will
be on Wichita
State during
Selection Sunday
with fans check-
ing their region
and seeing which
team could defeat a
potentially unbeaten team.
Despite playing a lot of cupcake
teams, winning 30 consecutive
games in college basketball is de-
manding and Wichita State should
be proud of its run. Te questions
will still be asked. Te biggest one:
Can Wichita State beat a good team?
It is likely Wichita State earns one
of the four No. 1 seeds. During the
tournament, everyone will know if
the Shockers are for real or if they
are just a basketball version of the
2013-14 Kansas City Chiefs.

carrot for our team. It continues to be

PAGE 8 Jayhawks earn Academic All Big 12 honors
Tis weekend was supposed
to be the home opener for the
undefeated Jayhawks, who
are of to an 8-0 start. Due to
forecasted weather, the series
has been moved to Grand
Prairie, Texas, in QuikTrip
Park, home of the Grand
Prairie Airhogs.
Its devastating, I think
our entire team was
looking forward to playing
in Hoglund Ballpark this
weekend, said coach Ritch
Price.
Before the location change,
the Jayhawks were slated
to start the weekend with a
single game on Friday against
North Dakota. Ten taking
on Houston Baptist in a two-
game series on Saturday and
Sunday. Now the Jayhawks
will head down and only take
on Houston Baptist (6-2) in a
four game series.
Tey are a good mid-
major program, we are going
into their home state, and
they are of to a good start,
said Price Its going to be a
good test for us before we go
play a national powerhouse
like Stanford.
Game one will start at
noon on Friday, when Wes
Benjamin will take the
mound for the Jayhawks. Te
junior lefy tossed six and
one-third innings against
Northwestern on Feb. 21,
before leaving the game with
a 7-2 lead.
For the Huskies on Friday,
they will throw senior right-
hander Ryan Lower on the
mound. He has a 1-0 record
in two starts with a 1.64 ERA,
and nine strikeouts.
Games two and three will be
a double header on Saturday.
In game two, Robert Kahana
will be on the mound for the
Jayhawks. Te junior righty
was tossed around by UW-
Milwaukee, going fve and
one-third innings, allowing
10 hits and seven runs.
Taylor Wright is slated
to start game two for the
Huskies. He has posted a 2-0
record on this season, with a
4.50 ERA and 10 strikeouts.
In game three, Frank
Duncan will get the nod.
Duncan responded from
his disappointing frst
start, with a career-high
14 strikeout performance
against Mississippi Valley
State on Sunday. Te senior
righty allowed only four hits,
throwing 71 strikes of his
92 pitches to earn Louisville
Slugger National Player of
the Week honors.
Tis weekend I was just
able to fll up the zone,
Duncan said. Te ball was
rolling more my way, I got
into more two-strike counts,
and was able to put people
away.
Going up against Duncan
for Houston Baptist in the
night cap, is junior right-
handed pitcher Curtis Jones.
In two starts, Jones has tallied
the most innings of the
starters with 15, with a 1.76
ERA and nine strikeouts.
On Sunday, Price will give
the nod to Drew Morovick,
who is the only starter with a
2-0 record. Te junior righty
struck out a career-high
10 batters in fve innings,
aiding the Jayhawks to a 9-4
win over St. Bonaventure, to
sweep the Snowbird Classic.
He has had two
unbelievable starts, hes
pitched as well as anyone
we have, and when you have
someone like that to pitch
at the end of the weekend, it
puts you in good position to
make a run at the postseason,
said Duncan.
Te Huskies Sunday starter
will be junior Ross Kennell,
who has struggled in his frst
two starts. He has tallied an
8.10 ERA, with a 0-1 record,
and just four strikeouts.
Ofensively the Jayhawks
will continue to ride their hot
bats, to keep their undefeated
hopes alive. Senior catcher
Kaiana Eldredge is batting
.429 in 21 at bats, with
six runs batted in. Junior
outfelder Blair Beck leads
the team in terms of average,
hitting .500 in 14 at bats.
We are tougher outs one
through nine, we have had
power in the past, but this
year we are all tough outs,
and able to play small ball,
we just have to continue to
get better every week, said
senior outfelder Tucker
Tarp.

They are a good mid-major

program, we are going into
their home state, and they
are off to a good start.
RITCH PRICE
Kansas coach
G
et ready to pause for
a moment. Not now,
but in a minute or so,
youll want to.
Youll stop to take just a
second to think about how
totally ridiculous this has
been. How incredibly lucky
you are to experience this.
And how grateful you, a
sports fan, should be.
Tis is about Bill Self. Tis
is about Monday night. Tis
is about winning. Tis is
about winning consistently.
Tis is about having a chance
to win a national champion-
ship. Tis is about owning
your competitors. Tis is
about owning the sport. Tis
is about being more talented.
Tis is about having a better
coach.
Most importantly, this is
about having fun.
Tere, thats 10 reasons in
itself to pause. Did that read
long? Was it clunky? It had
to be, because its incredibly
hard to repeat yourself 10
times in a row. Its not natural
and really, it doesnt make
sense.
Tis run that Kansas is on
doesnt actually make sense.
To win a conference 10 con-
secutive times and be better
than your regional competi-
tors every year, for 10 years,
shouldnt happen.
In fact, it had never hap-
pened in a major conference
until this week.
But there Self was, walking
of James Naismith Court
with a still-full student
section wanting nothing
but acknowledgment from
the coach, who just etched
another place in college bas-
ketball history.
So, afer a head nod, a small
gesture from Self, the crowd
got louder and louder. And
then Self held up all 10 fn-
gers with the student section
going bonkers for the bizarre
accomplishment.
Sure, the students are grate-
ful, as was the entire crowd
at Allen Fieldhouse, but they
wont remember that in mid-
March. So now, not just yet,
but soon, you should pause
for a moment, while its still
fresh in your mind.
If youre a senior at the
University, youve watched
the Jayhawks go 131-19. Te
worst record of the three
complete seasons? 32-7, a
year in which Kansas lost in
the National Championship
game.
Kansas fans dont have to
worry about the bubble, they
are forced to focus on more
petty things: Did the NCAA
Tournament committee
screw the Jayhawks on
seeding? Or location? Why
isnt this recruit getting more
national attention?
Te problems for Kansas
fans are silly and for this little
stretch in late February, they
should be forgotten. So now
its time.
So get ready, take a big ol
deep breath and think about
how damn lucky you are to
be a Kansas basketball fan in
this current era.

WILDCATS DOMINATE
KANSAS 68 - KANSAS STATE 76
Te Kansas womens
basketball team let Kansas
State guard Leticia Romero
do everything they knew
they couldnt during their 76-
68 loss Wednesday night in
Allen Fieldhouse. Te talented
freshman crossed up Jayhawk
defenders, confdently drove
the lane and pulled up from
behind the arc without
hesitation.
She kicked it out to her
teammates for open looks
and was active on the boards
all night. Basically, she was
everything the Jayhawks (12-
16, 5-11 Big 12) knew she
could be.
[Romero] was just good
one-on-one, too much at the
rim and pulling up, Kansas
coach Bonnie Henrickson
said. She has good vision and
just drives with it.
Tings got of to about as
bad a start as imaginable for
Henricksons squad. Te team
allowed the Wildcats (11-16,
5-11 Big 12) to sink their frst
eight shots while missing the
frst six of its own. Toss in a
few unforced turnovers and
mental errors and Kansas
found itself down 21-0 only six
minutes into the game.
Te Jayhawks frst feld goal
came on a Natalie Knight
3-pointer almost seven
minutes into regulation. It
sparked six straight points
for Kansas, but the Wildcats
still maintained a comfortable
15-point advantage. With
junior forward Chelsea
Gardner generally double-
teamed in the paint, the
Jayhawks post presence all but
disappeared as they notched
only six points in the paint
during the frst half.
But Kansas began slowly
chipping away at its defcit
behind the strong play by
Knight and junior guard
Asia Boyd. Boyd scored eight
straight points toward the
end of the frst half to give
her team its frst semblance of
momentum all night. Kansas
headed into the locker room
down 37-24.
We were disappointed in
the way we started and wanted
to turn things around, Knight
said. But personally, I never
felt for a second like we were
out of it.
Senior guard CeCe Harper,
who was held without a feld
goal in the frst half, took
over for the Jayhawks in
the second. She scored 10
consecutive points midway
through the half to bring the
Jayhawks within two. A layup
from freshman guard Dakota
Gonzalez with 6:42 lef gave
Kansas its frst tie of the game.
We were excited that we
fnally could score some
points, Boyd said. We
got a couple stops, Chelsea
[Gardner] had a couple blocks
and we were able to get back in
it, but we have to keep that.
Kansas was never able to take
the lead; it simply couldnt stop
K-States hot hand from the
feld. Te Wildcats shot 68.2
percent in the second half as
Romero led the way with 10
points. Te Jayhawks made it
easy for the freshman, allowing
her several uncontested layups.
All hope of a Kansas
comeback faded when
Wildcats freshman guard
Kindred Wesemann drained a
three with 1:31 remaining to
increase their lead to eight.
All night, K-State made hard
shots look easy and Kansas
made easy ones look hard.
Even when the Jayhawks pulled
even, they were never a serious
threat; they were outplayed in
all facets of the game. It was
a disappointing outcome for
what couldve been a rebound
game for Kansas before March.
We dont show up with any
pop and just let them spank us
around, Henrickson said. Its
disappointing.
