Tying knots over maple
bacon donuts its a typical

meeting for the Hawk Navy,
the Naval ROTCs sailing club.
But before any knots, the
frst thing on the agenda was
video games Super Smash
Bros Brawl and League of
Legends as well as the classic
GoldenEye 007 on Nintendo
64.
Its for the upcoming
video game tournament
this Saturday, a fundraising
event for the sailing club. Te
club, exclusively fnanced by
fundraisers, is trying to raise
enough money to purchase
three boats.
We want boats to call our
own, under our own control,
instead of working with people
who already had boats, said
Kyle Kaplan, sophomore naval
ROTC ofcer candidate, from
Wildwood, Fla.
While the club has been
borrowing boats from the KU
Sailing Club, the Hawk Navy
has been fundraising all year
to become more independent.
Unlike KU Sailing Club,
the Hawk Navy has a more
military-oriented approach,
focusing more on knot-tying,
ship handling and rules-of-
the-road.
Te KU sailing club is more
recreational sailing, said
Reston Bishop, a senior Ofcer
Candidate of the naval ROTC
from St. Louis, Mo. He is the
president of Hawk Navy.
But this doesnt mean the
Hawk Navy doesnt have fun.
Its nice when our freshmen
get here, they are kind of scared
to go out and do anything,
their lives are more strict than
other college students, being
in the ROTC, and so it gives
them a fun activity to do on
the weekends in a relatively
safe environment, Bishop
said.
Tey are well on their way in
fundraising with about $1,300
from previous events like chili
feed and bake sales. Tey need
to raise a total of $2,000 to buy
the boats.
Teres defnitely some
pains in getting going, but,
afer frst semester, weve
been very successful this
semester with the things that
we launched, and I fgure
that will only continue to
improve with the video game
tournament, Bishop said.
Once we purchase the boat,
we wont have to fundraise at
such a high level. We can enjoy
sailing or other things we want
to do in the of months.
Te Hawk Navy hopes to
raise about $400 from the
latest fundraiser. Participants
can register by email at
Ha wk Na v y KU@g ma i l .
com, and games cost $5 for
GoldenEye 007 and $10 for
Super Smash Bros Brawl and
League of Legends.
For now, the club members
eagerly await the day to go
sailing in their own boats
and compete in local sailing
competitions.
Being out in the water,
catching a good wind, nothing
quite compares to it. Its pretty
awesome, Kaplan said.

UNIVERSITY
Open forum reveals big plans for parking
Why did Daisy Hill
construction start before
dorms closed for the summer?
was one of the key questions
brought up Monday afernoon
at the Parking Open Forum
held by KU Parking and Transit
in the Big XII room of the
Kansas Union.
Director of Student
Housing Diana Robertson
said that the construction
was originally scheduled to
begin in the summer as soon
as commencement was over.
When the department hired
a contractor in January, they
learned that the project was
much more signifcant and
additional time was required.
Tis meant construction
preparation had to begin over
spring break instead.
Tat would be the easiest
time for them to get in there,
get the fences up, and they
would begin construction
soon thereafer, Robertson
said. Te problem with it this
spring is that the spaces were
there, students were used to
that, and then it kind of got
pulled back.
Pavement milling, or
demolition of existing material
on the lot, did not begin until
last week due to delays in
obtaining permits, according
to Robertson.
Te KU Parking and Transit
Ofce is ofering students
whose permits are afected by
this construction four options
to cope with limited parking
spaces:
1. Sections D and E in the
Lied Center parking lot, and
the gravel lot north of section
E, are now approved for the
Daisy Hill parking permit.
2. An ofer to trade 50 Daisy
Hill permits for Staufer Place
permits.
3. KU Endowment has
granted use of the vacant lot
south of Stewart Avenue to
Daisy Hill permit-holders.
Tere are about 50 available
spaces in that lot.
4. 10 parking meters have
been removed from lots 101-
104 (the Daisy Hill parking
lots).
KU Parking and Transit is also
ofering a one to two month
reimbursement of permit
cost to cover the diferential
of switching to a Park & Ride
permit, or eliminating car use
altogether.
Nick Strange, a freshman
from Osceola, Mo., who lives
in Hashinger Hall expressed
his frustration with fnding a
spot to park in the residence
halls even before construction
started.
I totaled my car driving up
to campus early to try to get a
spot, Strange said. I fipped it
twice on K-10, was hanging by
the seatbelt, and one of the frst
thoughts that went through my
head was, Wow. Tis is still
better than trying to fnd a spot
on Daisy Hill.
According to the Parking
and Transit ofce, this will
not be as big of a problem if
new proposals that seek to
limit overselling of permits
are approved by the Parking
Commission at next Mondays
meeting.
Currently, residence halls and
other parking lots use what is
known as a hunting permit.
Tis means that a permit holder
pays for the chance to hunt
for a spot. Since more permits
are sold than the number of
physical spots, drivers may not
be able to fnd a place to park.
In a student lot, there is
an acceptable percentage of
oversell, said Donna Hultine,
director of parking. I think 15
percent is sort of an industry
wide standard of whats okay.
Tis type of permit sale
can work because not every
permit holder will park in their
designated lot at the same time.
KU Parking and Transit plans
to do simulations to see what
percentage of oversell would be
functional.
Hultine says that exact permit
sales would be more feasible in
residential lots.
Its more likely that every
person shows up in their space,
so I think it is important not to
oversell that, Hultine said. I
think its more realistic to do
that with residence hall parking
than commuter student
parking, because we know all
of those students are going to
be there at the same time.
Other changes students,
faculty and staf can expect
in coming years include:
elimination of unutilized
handicapped parking spaces
that exceed accessibility
requirements, an expansion
of Jayhawk Boulevard and
Memorial Drive which will
feature only south-facing
parking instead of parking on
both sides of the street and
repairs and reconstruction of
failed lots.
Tose repairs and
reconstructions are necessary
for continued use of parking
lots, but are also pricey;
estimates stand at over 15
million dollars for all the
current repairs, according to
Hultine. In order to fx the lots,
the Parking and Transit ofce
will need to increase revenue,
which is currently generated
from parking tickets, athletic
event parking, toll parking,
garage parking and parking
permits.
Depending on the outcome
of next Mondays Parking
Commission meeting, students
may need to plan for small
increases in the price of parking
permits.
Weve recently had some
increases in visitor hourly
parking rates, Hultine said.
And that leads us to look at
what we can do with parking
permits.
Students wishing to seek
reimbursement for their
parking permit due to
construction on Daisy Hill are
asked to contact the Parking
and Transit Ofce at 785-864-
7275, or kupark@ku.edu.

I ipped [my car] twice on K-10 ... and one of the rst
thoughts that went through my head was, Wow. This is still
better than trying to nd a spot on Daisy Hill.
NICK STRANGE
Freshman from Osceola, Mo.
When sophomore Joe Lilik
discovered he had won a na-
tional scholarship, he original-
ly thought it might have been
a joke.
I was notifed on April Fools
Day, actually, which made
me think a little bit about it,
he said, but I fgured they
wouldnt be that mean.
Lilik, an atmospheric science
major from Bethesda, Md.,
was selected as a recipient of
a national scholarship from
the National Oceanic and At-
mospheric Administration
(NOAA).
NOAAs Ernest F. Hollings
Scholarship is a two-year tu-
ition and internship scholar-
ship. Lilik explained that, out
of approximately 900 appli-
cants across the nation, about
100 are chosen to receive the
scholarship.
Recipients receive $8,000 a
year towards tuition, as well
as a 10-week internship po-
sition at a NOAA facility,
for which recipients are paid
$650 a week. Te scholarship
also includes travel funds for
a mandatory NOAA scholar-
ship orientation in May and
conferences where students
present a paper or poster, as
well as a housing subsidy for
recipients who will not live at
home during their internship
experience.
Te frst notifcation Lilik
received that he was a schol-
arship fnalist on March 18.
Afer sending his ofcial tran-
script to NOAA, Lilik had to
wait until April to receive the
decision that he had been se-
lected as a scholarship winner.
I immediately called home.
I was ecstatic, he said. Its re-
ally one of the biggest things
Ive ever been accepted to, ever
done I mean, its a national
scholarship.
A NOAA mentor will be as-
signed to Lilik between Au-
gust and September of this
year. Tis mentor will help
him design an internship op-
portunity for the summer of
2015. Lilik said that, because
NOAA has facilities all over
the country, he has not yet de-
cided where he would like to
have his internship.
Ive got a lot of diferent in-
terests, he said. I know the
earth science research labora-
tory is in Boulder, Colorado,
and Im really interested in
that one. But [NOAA] has lab-
oratories all over the country
that work on diferent things,
so it could be anywhere.
Te application for the
NOAA scholarship was a stan-
dard application. Lilik said
that it was very similar to the
Common Application that
many universities use. For
him, the most difcult part
was crafing a personal state-
ment.
It was a big essay to write,
he said. You try to pack your-
self into 1,200 words and get
the message you want to get
out about yourself. Tere was
a minimum length too, and
sometimes I felt like I kind of
rambled. You want every sen-
tence to be really efective in
advocating for yourself.
Dr. Michael Vitevitch, Li-
liks Honors advisor, helped
him in writing his personal
statement. Vitevitch, who is
the Senior Associate Director
and Honors Faculty Fellow for
Research, also wrote a letter of
recommendation for Lilik.
[Lilik] is really laid-back
and unassuming, Vitevitch
described. When you start to
talk to him, you see that he has
a really quick wit. You get very
quickly that hes very sharp.
Hes got self-confdence and he
was willing to take the chance
and apply. Tat willingness to
take a risk paid of. Tis could
open up a lot of doors for him.
Dr. David Rahn, an assistant
professor of geography, was
another faculty member who
wrote a letter of recommenda-
tion for Lilik. Lilik was a stu-
dent in two of Rahns classes.
He is very inquisitive, so
theres a lot of stuf hes very
interested in, Rahn said. Hes
not afraid to ask the right
questions. Hes done a lot of
good work in class. He has a
worldly view alreadyhe has
an open mind.
Climate change is what drew
Lilik to an atmospheric sci-
ence major in the frst place.
Ive always just had a fasci-
nation with weather and cli-
mate. Climate change is a re-
ally interesting thing to me. Its
something that really needs to
be addressed. Te felds only
going to be growing as time
goes by.
Lilik is also minoring in
theater, which he hopes will
continue to play a role in his
future. [Teater] is a big part
of my interests, he said. Im
somebody who wants to use
theater in a way that can im-
prove the messaging of sci-
ence, specifcally around cli-
mate change. And something
Im doing on that is approach-
ing the end of the semester,
Im directing a reading of a
play that deals with climate
change.
As a recipient of the NOAA
scholarship, Lilik said that he
will continue to explore his
career options. Im hoping
that through the scholarship,
I can fnd a more specifc ca-
reer interest, he explained.
But atmospheric science
includes people that study
climate change, that predict
weather, study air pollution.
I dont want to be a weather-
manthats about as much as
I know.

Student earns prestigious national scholarship
UNIVERSITY
KATE MILLER

Joe Lilik, a sophomore from Bethesda, Md., recieved a scholarship from
NOAA, which is a two-year tuition and internship scholarship.
Te national discourse on
energy usage is ofen politi-
cally charged, making it nearly
impossible to take an objective
stance. However, the KU En-
ergy Club, at their fourth an-
nual KU Energy Conference,
wants to answer a variety of
questions related to energy on
a state and national level in an
open discussion.
Today, from 9 a.m. to 3:15
p.m. in the Kansas Union Ball-
room, students, educators and
energy industry leaders will
gather to discuss the latest en-
ergy trends.
Keaton Arnold, vice presi-
dent of KU Energy Club, said
the club seeks to use the con-
ference to answer some of the
questions that surround en-
ergy production, specifcally
questions about domestic oil
and gas production, wind en-
ergy and U.S. energy indepen-
dence.
Why is energy indepen-
dence something America
wants, and can we actually
achieve it? Arnold said. And
if so, how soon?
Jay Hakes, author of A Dec-
laration of Energy Indepen-
dence and noted authority
on energy, will serve as the
conferences keynote speaker.
Industry leaders and political
fgures such as Black & Veatch
Vice President Gary Hart and
Representative Dennis Hedke
will participate in panel dis-
cussions.
Kansas role in the domestic
energy industry is changing,
and will be a hot topic at the
conference, Arnold said. As
new drilling techniques have
been implemented over the
past decade, Kansas reputa-
tion as a serious producer of
oil and gas has grown. Accord-
ing to the Energy Information
Administration, Kansas ranks
10th among states in crude
oil production as of March 27,
2014.
In addition to the clubs goal
of raising awareness of ener-
gy independence and Kansas
rising status as a producer of
crude oil, the conference will
serve as an important net-
working opportunity for both
students and industry profes-
sionals.
Were trying to connect en-
ergy and Kansas, Arnold said.
A big part of the conference is
being able to interact with the
industry professionals attend-
ing the event.
Katie Rowe, a drilling engi-
neer for the Occidental Petro-
leum Corporation, said pro-
fessionals within the energy
industry think events like the
conference are vital for educat-
ing students and young people.
Energy is connected to ev-
erything, and many energy
companies are hiring students
from majors that they havent
before, said David Gelvin,
president of the KU Energy
Club.
Club representatives agreed
that students from all majors
and schools can beneft from
attending the conference.
Gelvin said many natural gas
companies are now hiring
psychology majors to analyze
consumer perceptions of nat-
ural gas usage.
Tis conference brings dif-
ferent perspectives together,
Rowe said. We as young peo-
ple have the power to make the
changes. Te future of energy
is in our hands, and we need to
take action now.

University students working
for KJHK, the student-run
radio station at the Univer-
sity of Kansas, are bringing
home the blue this month
afer receiving 24 broadcasting
awards from the Kansas Asso-
ciation of Broadcasters.
Te Kansas Association of
Broadcasters organizes the
2014 Student Broadcasting
Awards. Te contest is state-
wide and recognizes excep-
tional student work in various
diferent categories. Student
radio and television stations
submit the entries.
KJHK students received
more awards than any other
university media outlet in the
state. Te awards included un-
dergraduate radio news, sports
coverage, graduate radio pro-
gramming, and the stations
website, kjhk.org.
Roderick Baugh, a senior
from Kansas City, Kan., was
one of the four recipients for
the radio show Te Jayhawk
Zone which won the best col-
lege sportscast award.
We got frst place in the en-
tire state. Its so cool to be afl-
iated with a show that people
think is the best, he said.
Baugh explained that KJHK
represented the University of
Kansas in the competition.
Tey competed against other
schools like K-State, Fort Hays
State University, and Johnson
County Community College
for the awards.
It was such a cool experi-
ence to go out to Salina and be
recognized by many accom-
plished people in radio, Baugh
said. Hopefully this helps me
springboard with what I want
to do in the future with radio.
Lucas Homer, the station
manager at KJHK, expressed
his excitement for the recent
awards.
We brand ourselves as a
digital media outlet other than
just a radio station. Weve done
a lot of hard work in those ar-
eas and were getting a lot of
recognition for that, he said.
Were unique because we
are completely student run.
Anything you hear on the air
is produced by a student. We
have so many diferent genres
and are constantly trying to do
better.
Margaret Hair, Program co-
ordinator at KJHK, agreed that
the recognition has been good
for the students working for
KJHK.
Tere is a lot of room for
creativity and to try out new
ideas here. Students are con-
stantly learning new skills and
getting recognition for that,
she said.
Its a validation that none
of these awards would have
happened without the people
who have worked hard to get
us here, Homer said. Tese
awards present a nice chal-
lenge for future staf to main-
tain the level of growth we
have achieved
In 2013, Homer won frst
place in the Graduate Radio
Station Promotional Activity
category for the 2013 KJHK
Farmers Ball, a local battle of
the bands. Te event, spon-
sored by KJHK and Student
Union Activities, will take
place on April 19, at the Bot-
tleneck.

THE MISSING PLANE
R
ecently an article
from Wall Street
Insanity, 50
things every woman
should realize about
men, blew up all over my
Facebook newsfeed. Chuck
Henderson, the writer, lists
things women should do
and accept, no questions
asked. I read the article
thinking it would be more
humorous than it really
was, but afer reading it I
was lef feeling disgusted
and highly ofended.
Te list included hes
not as complicated as you
are, you should always
take his side, if you make
him watch a chick fick, at
least give him a blowjob
aferwards (sic) and
youve got to watch your
weight. Tere were several
others that made me laugh
out loud, not because they
were funny, but because
of how completely idiotic
Henderson sounds.
Te fact that Henderson
assumes all guys have this
same mindset is completely
ridiculous, and I love
how he assumes these
problems are something
only men have to deal with.
Basically 90 percent of
the things on Hendersons
list apply to men and
women. For instance,
men can be equally as
complicated as women. He
proceeded to say that when
men have their simple,
uncomplicated thoughts,
women should not assume
that women are deeper or
smarter than men are.
Oh, of course women
shouldnt assume they
could be smarter than men
because men are obviously
the dominant fgures
who know the answer to
everything. It would be
absolutely preposterous to
assume that a female could
be smarter than a male.
Moving on, Henderson
talks about how women
should always take the
mans side no matter what,
especially if it is in public.
If I dont agree with a guy
about something, Im not
going to take his side,
publicly or privately. Im
not going to dumb myself
down, or disregard my
beliefs just to make a guy
feel better about himself.
If that ofends a guy to the
point he will hold a grudge
about it in the future, then
he obviously isnt worth the
time or efort.
Te point that bothered
me the most was about
guys watching chick ficks,
which suggested that
women should reward
their signifcant other with
sexual favors every time
they watch one. First of all,
men should never expect
anything like that from a
woman in any situation.
Men need to have more
respect for their women,
and women need to respect
their men, too. It doesnt
mean that sexual favors
have to be owed just for
watching a silly movie.
A lot of the things on
the list were extremely
degrading to women.
He basically tells women
to disregard any sort of
self-respect they have for
themselves and bow down
to the man.
What was particularly
shocking to me was that
the majority of people
sharing this article on
Facebook were women. If
we are suggesting to other
women and men that these
expectations are OK, then
we are going backward, not
moving forward.
Women have faced a
lot of oppression in the
past and still do today.
We still have men, such
as Henderson, subjecting
women this way and
thinking its OK, and its
because we have people
agreeing with him. Tis
should be something we
are fghting against, not
sharing.
When women agree
with these ludicrous ideas,
what is stopping men from
treating all women this
way? I wont take a guys
side when they are wrong,
I wont reward a guy for
watching a chick fick with
me and if I want to skip the
gym for a week, month, or
even a year, I will because
I respect myself enough
to not be with a man who
holds me up to a ridiculous
standard.

from Overland Park studying
journalism.
Both sexes need to
respect each other
You arent Hispanic?
No, Im black.
But youre not Hispanic?
Te woman cut me of.
I turned and looked at her
staring fgure.
No, I said, I dont think
so.
Tis has been a recurring
conversation in my life. Ive
been asked if Im Hispanic,
Caucasian and even Brazilian.
Rarely am I considered black,
even by other blacks in the
United States. I fnd this
interesting and have spent
time staring at my eyes, nose
and skin tone in the mirror.
I mainly identify as black or
African American, but at the
same time, I consider myself
multiracial. What do people
see that makes them question
my African ancestry? Or the
ancestry of others?
Tis leads to a growing
question within the U.S.: What
exactly makes up a persons
ethnicity? In certain cases,
phenotype is a big factor.
Tose with light complexions
are ofen identifed as Latino,
mixed, or Caucasian. Tose
with darker skin are identifed
as more African.
Language is another key
factor. Tere have been
numerous incidents at work
that Ive been spoken to in
Spanish. I respond back in
Spanish and this reconfrms to
the person that Im Latina.
Unless I say Im black, the
person doesnt know.
If someone spoke in an
African language, I wouldnt
understand a single word.
So does this make me less
African? Some say yes, others
no.
Ancestry is a huge factor
as well. Usually where your
ancestors are from determines
your ethnicity, which is fne
for those who only claim
one ancestor. What about
those who have ancestors
from more than one country
and therefore claim several
ethnicities? As a child, I was
puzzled over how to identify
myself for school tests
because of my familys mixed
background of African, Native
American and European
descent.
I remember asking my
mother about it. Her response
had been to put black or
African American. She
explained that black was the
ethnicity that my family most
associated with. I learned
very quickly that though my
family associated themselves
with African ancestry, others
did not.
According to Benjamin
Baileys article Dominican-
American Ethnic/Racial
Identities and Social
Categories, Race based on
one drop or hypodescent
rules has historically been
pre-eminent criterion for
social organization in the
United States, preceding
national, ethnic and religious
allegations. Te one drop
rule, according to PBS
Frontline, is that a single
drop of black blood makes a
person a black. Tis rule is
now shifing due to interracial
marriages and immigration.
So the question is: What are
we? Do we identify by our
phenotype or our ancestry?
A conclusion Ive been
pondering is that we are all
multiracial, meaning everyone
has intermixed blood
regardless of our phenotypes.
With some, such as my family,
its more physically apparent,
but inside, everyones DNA
has pieces of generations of
interaction between various
races.
Racial identifcation will
only become more complex,
not simpler in the future.
Terefore, who we are will be
a continual debate. But what
we can never allow to enter
into debate is our humanity.
Regardless of our phenotype
or ethnicity, we are all human
and that is what truly bonds
us all together.

FOOD
ANDY LARKIN/KANSAN
Taco Bell recently released its breakfast menu to compete with other fast food morning favorites.
The battle for breakfast:
Taco Bells morning menu
ERIKA REALS
entertain@kansan.com
Taco Bell entered the fast
food breakfast market, and
thus the battle between the
breakfasts began. Taco Bell
and McDonalds, its major
competitor, have ignited an
advertising war thats targeting
college students and young on-
the-go professionals, according
to Advertising Age.
Te Mexican fast food chain
launched its new breakfast
campaign March 27 afer
testing the menu in several
cities since 2012. Te menu
ofers many choices, including
the A.M. Crunchwrap, A.M.
Grilled Taco, Cinnabon
Delights, Wafe Taco and
Breakfast Burrito. In response
to Taco Bells breakfast
campaign, McDonalds is
giving out free cofee to
customers through April 13.
Ive seen the Taco Bell ads
with the Ronald McDonalds,
and I thought they were pretty
good, said Logan Brull, a
senior from Shawnee. [Te
ads] mention how its quick
and easy. I think they focused
on professionals on their way
to work more than targeting
college students.
Despite Taco Bells biggest
marketing campaign in the
companys history, junior
marketing student Scott
Southern said he prefers
McDonalds breakfast afer
testing Taco Bells breakfast
menu.
I decided to give Taco Bell
breakfast a try and ordered
a Wafe Taco, which looked
nothing like what its advertised
as and was very dry and bland,
Southern said. Te eggs didnt
even look like eggs.
Brull said he ordered one of
each breakfast menu item at
Taco Bell. Out of all the items,
only the A.M. Crunchwrap
played up to his expectations.
According to Taco Bell
President Brian Niccol,
the marketing campaign is
supposed to attract customers
to what is the most innovative
breakfast menu on the market.
Although Taco Bells breakfast
menu is diferent than what
other fast food chains ofer, not
everyone prefers it.
Afer having the Taco
Bell breakfast once, I would
probably stick with the
McDonalds breakfast, because
its more of a traditional
breakfast style than the A.M.
Crunchwrap and Wafe Taco,
Brull said.
MUSIC
Kiss animosity toward
Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame will continue long
after induction
NEW YORK You knew Kiss
would not go into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame quietly.
The band and its army of fans
have long complained that one of
rocks biggest moneymakers has
had to wait to enter the Rock Hall.
So now that the band is actually
being welcomed into the institution
after 15 years of eligibility, did any-
one expect the bad blood among its
original members and between the
group and the Rock Hall to magi-
cally disappear? Yeah, right.
All the credible bands can kiss
my (expletive), with all due re-
spect, Kiss Gene Simmons told
Rolling Stone.
And the animosity will likely con-
tinue long after Thursday nights
induction at Barclays Center in
Brooklyn. Kiss does not plan to per-
form at the ceremony because the
bands current members, Simmons
and Paul Stanley, did not want to
play with former members Ace
Frehley and Peter Criss, also set to
be inducted. Simmons and Stanley
wanted to perform with current
guitarist Tommy Thayer and drum-
mer Eric Singer.
Rock Hall organizers declined to
let that lineup play.
From our standpoint, Kiss is the
four original members, said the
Hall of Fame Foundation CEO Joel
Peresman. Those four guys start-
ed something that inspired a lot of
people ... Those other two guys are
playing the roles of Ace and Peter.
They are wearing the same make-
up.
Peresman said there are no plans
to have other musicians pay tribute
to Kiss music at the ceremony.
It is over 13 years since the
original lineup has played togeth-
er in makeup, the band said in a
statement. However, Frehley said
Simmons and Stanley didnt want
to hurt Kiss summer tour with Def
Leppard.
The reason they dont want to
perform with me and Peter is be-
cause the last time they did, they
had to do a reunion tour, Frehley
told Rolling Stone. They dont
want to open up a can of worms.
Simmons said Frehley and Criss
no longer deserve to wear the
paint, adding, The makeup is
earned.
McClatchy-Tribune
Everyone knows Mickey
Rooney, but who really
remembers the extent of
his success? How many
now living can testify not
only to how large this man
loomed over the American
flm landscape but also to
the particular qualities that
made him such an enormous
success in his prime?
Everyone knows Rooney,
who died at the great age
of 93, precisely because he
lived so long. Te tireless last
surviving star of Hollywoods
1930s Golden Age was always
ready to make an appearance
when there was a crowd
waiting to applaud.
But Rooney was more
than just any star. In the
fnal innocent prewar years
of 1939, 1940 and 1941, he
was the countrys biggest
box-ofce attraction, period,
end of story. And the actor
reached that pinnacle not
by being a dashing action
hero lead or a glamorous
romantic lead, but by playing
a teenage boy, a character
one contemporary critic
called the perfect composite
of everybodys kid brother.
Nothing says more than
that about how Americas
popular culture movie tastes
have changed in the interim.
Rooney wasnt just any
teenager either. He was brash,
exuberant, unstoppable; the
kind of kid Americans, once
upon a time, liked to feel
was representative of this
country at its good-hearted,
irrepressible best.
Even British rocker Ray
Davies and the Kinks, who
in 1972 recorded Celluloid
Heroes, their classic tribute
to the stars on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame, paid tribute
to that quality by claiming,
If you stamped on Mickey
Rooney, he would still turn
round and smile. Just so.
Rooney seems to have
come by his trademark
industriousness and
resilience honestly. He was
born Joe Yule Jr., the son of
two vaudevillians who took
constant movement and hard
knocks as a matter of course.
He began his stage career as
a toddler and his frst flm
role came in 1926 when, at
age 6, he apparently played
a midget in something called
Not to Be Trusted.
Te young boys frst
sustained success came in a
series of shorts made between
1927 and 1936 based on a
comic strip character named
Mickey McGuire.

Kevin Costner tackles
football in Draft Day
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Kevin Costner is the general
manager of the Cleveland
Browns in his new movie,
Draf Day. Te Ivan Reitman-
directed project a kind of
gridiron Moneyball takes
place on that fateful spring
day when the 32 teams in the
National Football League go
hunting for the cream of the
years college crop, signing,
trading, strategizing, looking
to fll holes in their lineups
and, hopefully, fnd the real
talent out there, and the
players their competition
might have missed.
Te NFL draf has become
a big deal in its own right,
a spectator sport, with the
successive rounds of picks
taking place over a long
weekend. (Te 2014 draf: May
8-10 on the NFL Network.)
Costner, who has had a good
run when it comes to sports
movies Field of Dreams
and Bull Durham (baseball),
Tin Cup (golf) relates to
Draf Days go-my-own-way
protagonist, Sonny Weaver
Jr., a general manager being
second-guessed by just about
everyone from his coaches
to his coworker and lover
(Jennifer Garner) to his mom
(Ellen Burstyn).
Costner is 59 now and has
been in movies since the start
of the 80s (Frat Boy #1 in
Ron Howards Night Shif
was an early job). He was Elliot
Ness in Te Untouchables
(1987) and received best
actor, best director and best
picture Oscar nominations for
his 1990 Lakota Indian epic,
Dances With Wolves. He
won the directing and picture
Academy Awards.
Costner did not miss
the parallels between the
handicapping, prospecting
and deal-making that goes
on in Draf Day, and the
handicapping, prospecting
and deal-making that goes on
in the movie biz.
Im sure, if people tried
to handicap me against all
the actors that you would
have compared me to, when
we frst started, it would
be interesting, the actor
ruminated on the phone from
Los Angeles last week. How
many have just fallen of the
clif, so to speak the ones
that never went past one or
two movies?
How do you handicap that
when you look at someone?
You know, how do you
measure it? Youd be mistaken
if you did it by looks. Youd be
mistaken if you did it by height
... And youd be mistaken if you
did it by what everybody else
said versus what you think.
He adds: You have to analyze
talent, and see if people have a
genuine love.

Joe gives Nicolas Cage his best role in a decade
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Joe is the movie that will
make you remember how
good Nicolas Cage once was
and can be again.
A Southern Gothic tale of
alcohol, violence, sin and
redemption, this David
Gordon Green flm gives Cage
his fnest showcase in years.
Is this a harbinger of better
things to come, now that hes
hit 50? Probably not. But its
good to see he still has his
curve ball.
Joe is damaged, resigned to
the violent streak he knows he
must restrain, even at 48. His
love of cheap bourbon means
hes never without a bottle at
home, at work or on the road.
He drinks alone. He makes his
living by extending a job and a
friendly hand to impoverished
men, some alcoholics, like
himself, men clinging to the
bottom rung of the ladder in
the corner of rural Texas they
all share.
Joe runs a day labor work
crew that clears brush and
poisons commercially
undesirable trees for a big
timber company. He loads
up his battered pickup with
poison dispensers and eight or
so African-American down-
and-outers every morning,
and they do what the rules-
bending company wants them
to.
Joe is a tough man who
knows his way around a knife,
a bottle, a brothel and a pistol.
He minds his own business
and keeps a pit bull chained up
in front of his house. He has a
history, which the movie only
hints at a life he couldnt
hang onto that must have
involved a family, trouble with
the law and local trouble-
makers who still hate him.
Maybe thats why he takes
pity on Gary. Te kid (Tye
Sheridan of Mud) is only 15,
but hes got it rough. His old
man Wade (Gary Poulter) is a
brutish, aged drunk who keeps
his drifing family around
him even though he has no
intention of supporting them.
Teyre there, living in squalor,
for him to steal from when
they have money and to beat
when they dont fork it over.
Joe gives Gary work. And the
kid comes to treat this violent,
short-fused alcoholic as a role
model, a straight shooter who
only insists he look him in the
eye and consider him a friend.
Green, an Arkansas native
who made Undertow and
All the Real Girls before
Hollywood turned him loose
on Pineapple Express and
Te Sitter, has an eye for worn
Southern faces, and he flls
this flm with non-actors who
have the pot bellies, tortured
grammar and bad teeth of
rural Southern poverty. At
this level of society, race takes
a back seat to focusing on
your own daily struggle
to make a little money, get a
little liquor, stay out of jail and
reach another sunrise.
In houses where old
newspapers cover holes in the
walls, where everything that
wore out or breaks beyond
the limited capacity to repair
(cars, trailers, appliances) is
lef in the yard, everybody has
a gun and a willingness to use
it. Violence hangs over the
bars and every conversation
and encounter carries a hint of
menace. Who will snap? What
will they do when they do?
His down-and-out work
crew knows to keep it real,
with Joe. So does most
everyone else in town, from
Coleman the grocer to the
high-mileage madam at the
local brothel (Sue Rock). Tey
know his heart. But they also
know his moods.
Cage, beefy and grey-
bearded, moves with ease
through this world where Joe
can share a drink with Blind
George, help neighbors skin a
deer (they do it in their ruin of
a kitchen) or take in the trashy
but loving Connie (Adriene
Mishler), who needs a break
from her mother and her
mothers scummy boyfriend.
Cage suggests a man who
knows he has demons and
longs to control them, but is
too old to lose his contempt
for those who wont let him do
what he wants.
Green, working from a Gary
Hawkins script based on Larry
Browns novel, has created Joes
world from movie memory
a lot of Undertow, a little
Prince Avalanche and
the simple knowledge of what
you fnd if you get far enough
away from the cities and the
interstates in the Deep South.
Te setting, characters and
story reek of authenticity.
And most authentic of all
are Wade, the stumbling but
cunning old man, and Joe,
outwardly kind, but a powder
keg who never named his dog
because to him, a pit bull is
merely another instrument of
violence.
Poulter, a real-life homeless
man who wears a hard life in
every wrinkle on his weathered
face, has eyes that give away
cutthroat cunning and guilty
resignation. (He died afer
flming this.)
And Cage, playing Joe
close to the vest, gets across a
character and a code that he
and we know will be tested
by Gary and Garys family.
Cage lets us see the struggle
and envision the reckoning to
come as only a man with Joes
mysterious history can.

Barbara Walters sets
retirement date from
The View
NEW YORK Veteran TV jour-
nalist Barbara Walters will make
her last scheduled appearance
on The View on May 16, ABC
announced Monday.
The network will honor Walters
ve decades in broadcasting with
a week-long celebration. The
View, the daytime talk show she
helped create back in 1997, will
commemorate her departure be-
ginning May 12. ABC also plans to
air a two-hour prime-time special
looking back at Walters career on
May 16, and will name ABC News
Headquarters in New York City in
her honor.
Walters, who got her start in 1961
as a reporter on Today, moved to
ABC in 1976, where she became
the rst female co-anchor of a
news program. Over the years,
she has interviewed numerous
world leaders, including Fidel
Castro, Margaret Thatcher and
every president and rst lady since
Richard Nixon. On the other end of
the spectrum, she has also earned
a reputation for reliably conjuring
tears from celebrities in her annu-
al, pre-Oscars special, which she
wrapped in 2010, and in her Most
Intriguing People broadcasts.
Walters announced last May she
would be leaving The View in
2014, but did not set an exact
date. Though she will no longer
be making regularly scheduled ap-
pearances after May 16, she will
remain involved in her capacity as
an executive producer, according
to ABC.

Notre Dames Mufet
McGraw has defected talk
of a perfect season and a
potential showdown with
rival Connecticut all year
long.
Now the undefeated Irish
will get a crack at their rival
when the teams meet for a
national championship on
Tuesday night.
Te former Big East teams
had developed the top rivalry
in the sport. Te Irish have
won seven of the previous
nine meetings, including
beating the Huskies twice in
the Final Four.
UConn (39-0) won the last
meeting though, topping
Notre Dame in the Final Four
last season.
Its better than meeting
in the national semifnals,
McGraw deadpanned about
the title matchup.
Te Irish (37-0) advanced to
the championship game with
an 87-61 rout of Maryland
on Sunday night in the Final
Four.
Kayla McBride scored 28
points in one of the most
impressive games of her
career. Te All-American
senior guard seemingly did
whatever she wanted, and
enjoyed herself while she did
it.
She was truly special,
McGraw said. She was
having fun out there and that
was the key. She was hitting
shots from all over.
McBride shed defenders
with behind-the-back
dribbles and quick cross-
overs before scoring. She set
the tone, refusing to let for
Notre Dames pursuit of a
perfect season end.
It means a lot as a senior,
McBride said. Im so proud
of this team. We went through
a lot of adversity, especially
afer losing Ace. Were going
to go in and look at the flm
and be ready for the game.
Notre Dame lost senior
Natalie Ace Achonwa in
the regional fnal when she
sufered a torn ACL. Te team
wore shirts in warm-ups with
Achonwas No. 11 and the
6-foot-3 forwards nickname
on the back. She helped
her team warm. McGraw,
who was Te Associated
Press coach of the year, was
concerned coming into the
game about her teams ability
to rebound against the bigger
Terrapins without Achonwa.
Her team practiced all
week on boxing out and not
allowing second shots.
It worked. Te Irish
dominated the Terrapins
(28-7) on the boards with a
50-21 rebounding advantage,
including a 19-4 mark on
the ofensive end. It was the
widest rebounding margin
ever in a Final Four game,
shattering the previous mark
of 19 set by Louisiana Tech in
1989.
INTERNATIONAL
Pistorius takes witness
stand for rst time
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oscar Pistorius reacts as he listens to evidence by a pathologist in court in Pretoria, South Africa, Monday. A
pathologist called as the rst defense witness in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial offered a different sequence
for the shots that killed Reeva Steenkamp.
PRETORIA, South Africa
His voice shaking, Oscar
Pistorius took the witness
stand Monday for the frst
time, testifying that he was
trying to protect the girlfriend
he killed and that he became
so tormented by memories
of the fatal shooting and
panic attacks that he once hid
helplessly in a closet.
Pistorius also ofered an
apology to the family of Reeva
Steenkamp, who died from
multiple wounds afer the
double-amputee runner shot
her through a closed toilet
door last year in his home. He
said he mistook Steenkamp
for an intruder. Prosecutors
allege he killed her afer an
argument.
Tere hasnt been a moment
since this tragedy happened
that I havent thought about
your family, the athlete
said at the murder trial as
Steenkamps mother, June,
looked impassively at him in
the courtroom.
I was simply trying to
protect Reeva. I can promise
that when she went to bed that
night she felt loved, Pistorius
said.
Pistorius display of anguish
and remorse was a marked
departure from the testimony
of some prosecution witnesses
whose accounts painted a
picture of the runner as a
hothead with a jealous streak,
an infated sense of entitlement
and an obsession with guns in
the months before he killed
Steenkamp, a 29-year-old
model.
He has yet to be cross-
examined about the shooting
in the early hours of Feb. 14,
2013, and that testimony is
likely to be the centerpiece
of a trial being broadcast on
television and followed around
the world. Pistorius was
charged with premeditated
murder and faces 25 years
to life in prison if convicted.
Some analysts think the judge,
who will decide the case, will
consider a lesser charge such
as homicide, which could still
send him to prison for years.
Pistorius, 27, spoke in a sof,
quavering voice at the start of
his testimony, forcing Judge
Tokozile Masipa to ask him
to speak more loudly. He stood
at frst, stifing sobs as he said
he was on antidepressant
medication and sometimes
woke from nightmares to the
smell of blood.
Defense lawyer Barry
Roux, who had aggressively
challenged prosecution
witnesses since the trial began
March 3, led Pistorius gently
through events in a life that was
held up, in the runners heyday,
as an inspiring tale. Pistorius
was born without fbula bones
because of a congenital defect,
and his legs were amputated
when he was 11 months old.
He ran on carbon-fber blades
and is a multiple Paralympic
medalist. He also competed
at the London Olympics but
didnt win a medal.
Pistorius said he has
been taking antidepressant
medication since the week
afer he killed Steenkamp
and has trouble sleeping. He
described one night when he
went to hide in a closet afer
waking up in a panic.
I climbed into a cupboard
and I phoned my sister to
come and sit by me, which she
did for a while, Pistorius said.
Pistorius will return Tuesday
to continue testifying afer
the judge granted an early
adjournment because she said
Pistorius looked exhausted.
Pistorius said he had not slept
the night before.
Im just very tired at the
moment ... I think its a lot
of things going through my
mind, he said. Te weight of
this is extremely overbearing.
The weight of this is ex-

tremely overbearing.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Michael Wacha watches from the dugout after the rst inning of the game
against the Cincinnati Reds Monday in St. Louis. The Cardinals defeated the Reds 5-3.
Wacha pitches Cards
past Reds for victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS Michael
Wacha outdid Tony Cingrani
in a rematch of young power
arms and the St. Louis
Cardinals got a three-run
double from Yadier Molina
in the frst inning, beating the
Cincinnati Reds 5-3 in their
home opener on Monday.
Standing room attendance
of 47,492, the largest crowd
at 9-year-old Busch Stadium,
braved daylong rain and
temperatures in the 40s to
greet the National League
champions and take a look
at the new Ballpark Village.
Hundreds milled about the
attached complex, which
features fve sports bars and
roofop seating.
Te Cardinals bunched
three hits and a walk over the
frst fve hitters to take the
early lead against Cingrani
(0-1), who allowed two hits
in seven scoreless innings six
days earlier in Cincinnati.
Te Cards went 1 for 18
before adding RBIs from Matt
Holliday and Allen Craig
of Trevor Bell in a two-run
seventh.
St. Louis ended a three-game
losing streak on opening day,
including a blowout loss to
the Reds last year.
Te 22-year-old Wacha (1-
0) hadnt allowed a run in
21 career innings against the
Reds before back-to-back
doubles by Brayan Pena and
pinch hitter Roger Bernadina
in the ffh cut the Cardinals
lead to 3-1.
Te NL championship series
MVP benefted from two
double-play balls in six stingy
innings and has permitted
one run in 13 2-3 innings his
frst two starts.
Cingrani needed 31 pitches
to exit the frst and lasted
four innings, striking out fve
but walking four. Cardinals
manager Mike Matheny
said before the game that
his hitters had been a click
of with timing against the
24-year-old lefy last week
and should beneft from
another chance so soon.
Peter Bourjos moved up to
second in the order and got
his frst two hits of the season
afer an 0 for 13 start. Craig
got his third hit and third RBI
of the season afer entering 2
for 22.
Seeing Wacha once again
didnt do the Reds any good.
Te start of the game was
delayed 12 minutes afer the
inclement weather combined
with pregame ceremonies
that featured the traditional
grand entrance with players,
coaches and Hall of Famers
touring Busch Stadium on
the back of convertibles and
trucks. A team of Clydesdales
was kept in the stable due to
concerns the feld might be
damaged.
Billy Hamilton doubled to
start the game and the Reds
put the leadof man on base in
the frst four innings but were
undone by two double plays.
Zack Cozart broke an 0-for-
22 slump to start the season
with a bloop RBI single and
pinch hitter Nefali Soto had a
sacrifce fy for his frst career
RBI in the ninth against St.
Louis closer Trevor Rosenthal.
Te Cardinals opened the
frst with singles by Matt
Carpenter and Bourjos and
Holliday walked to load the
bases with none out. Craig
struck out before Molina
cleared them with a drive to
lef center on a 1-2 pitch.
MLB
As ruin home opener for
Twins with 8-3 victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS Yoenis
Cespedes proved he can play
through a hurting right heel,
giving Scott Kazmir and the
Oakland Athletics a spark
with a pair of RBIs that
helped spoil the Minnesota
Twins home opener with an
8-3 victory on Monday.
Cespedes has been
hobbling around the last
few days with the injury,
but the team wasnt worried
enough about it to hold him
out of the lineup. Te Cuban
slugger followed a leadof
walk to Brandon Moss by
crushing a double in the
second inning for the frst
run against Kevin Correia
(0-1) and hit a sacrifce fy in
the seventh.
Moss added a two-run
single in the third and Derek
Norris homered in the sixth.
Kazmir (2-0), who stymied
with Twins in fve starts
against them last season for
Cleveland, completed six
innings with six hits, three
runs and four walks allowed.
He struck out fve, and RBI
doubles by Aaron Hicks and
Jason Kubel were the only
damaging hits against him.
Te 30-year-old Kazmir
dazzled in his As debut with
7 1-3 scoreless innings last
week against his old team,
the Indians. He did the
same against the Twins in
2013, going 3-0 with a 1.45
ERA in 31 innings with 36
strikeouts. At least the Twins
wont have to face him four
more times, as they did as
a division foe. Tey travel
to Oakland for a four-game
series in August, the only
other possible rematch.
Correia took a step back
from his frst start. About
the only dependable starter
last year in a ragged rotation
that has since been upgraded
through free agency, the
right-hander was removed
with two outs in the sixth.
He yielded nine hits, six runs
and two walks while striking
out three.
Alberto Callaspo and
Josh Reddick also drove in
runs for the As, who played
without center felder Coco
Crisp because of a sore lef
wrist.
Te Twins had double that
trouble, with lef felder Josh
Willingham (lef wrist) and
right felder Oswaldo Arcia
(right wrist) both out of the
lineup. Backup frst baseman
Chris Colabello, who had a
league-leading 11 RBIs over
the frst week of the season,
played for Arcia and made
a lunging catch of a sinking
line drive to start a double
play that ended the second
inning. Kubel took over for
Willingham, and backup
catcher Josmil Pinto was the
designated hitter.
Jed Lowrie hit what the
As believed was a home run
down the right-feld line in
the third inning, but the call
on the feld was a foul ball
and the umpire-initiated
review upheld the ruling.
Lowrie took a walk instead
and later scored.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY

Q: How many consecutive regu-
lar-season wins was the record
before?
A: 112, Deptford Township in New
Jersey from 1965-1976.

FACT OF THE DAY
Roger Mathiesen is being inducted
to the Nebraska High School Sports
Hall of Fame this season.
www.nebhalloffame.org
22-season track and field record broken
QUOTE OF THE DAY
A lot can happen in 21 years. Back
in 1993, the Dallas Cowboys won the
Super Bowl against the Bufalo Bills.
Te Colorado Rockies played in their
frst season. Te Montreal Canadiens
won the Stanley Cup against the Los
Angeles Kings. Tennis star Monica
Seles was stabbed. All of these things
seem as if they happened a long time
ago, because many undergraduate stu-
dents werent even born. 21 years ago
marked the start of something special,
the longest streak of consecutive reg-
ular-season wins in high school track
and feld.
Kearney High School, located in Ke-
arney, Neb., is nationally recognized
for its streak. Over 22 seasons, the
Bearcats won 123 regular-season meets
in a row. Not included in its streak are
postseason wins. During that time, Ke-
arney has won 21 consecutive district
titles and 11 consecutive state champi-
onships. As an athlete, having Kearney
on your schedule always resulted in a
whirlwind of emotions. Yes, theres a
lot of competition, but winning against
them is impossible.
Winning against them was impossi-
ble. Te streak that felt as if it would
last forever came to a halt on April 5,
when Millard West High School beat
Kearney at the Columbus Invitational.
Te last team to beat Kearney in the
regular season was Lincoln
Southeast High School, in the
frst meet of the 1993 season.
Winning every meet for 22
years seems like a long time, at
least people tell me that, Ke-
arney coach Roger Mathiesen
said to the Kearney Hub. For
the Wildcats of Millard West,
nothing felt better.
Kearney is a class team,
very well-coached and tradi-
tionally sound in feld events.
And nothing is sweeter than
victory, said Millard West coach Max
Kurz.
One former Bearcat holds Nebraska
track and feld state records. Colby
Wissel broke the 1,600-meter run re-
cord back in 2004, registering a 4:10.44.
Wissel has the three fastest times run
in that event in Nebraska history as
well. Wis-
sel also
has the
3, 200-me-
ter run re-
cord in his
name, running
8:55.55, also in
2004.
Even though
the streak is over,
Kearney still holds
a strong grip on the
high school track
and feld community
throughout Nebraska and the nation.
Its consecutive winning streak may be
fnished, but its going to take years and
years to take the Bearcats record away
from them.

Wilsons pitching leads Angels past Astros
BASEBALL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON C.J. Wilson
pitched eight solid innings,
Howie Kendrick and Raul
Ibanez each drove in three
runs and the Los Angeles An-
gels beat the Houston Astros
9-1 Monday.
Te Angels took three of four
from Houston afer starting
the season 0-3.
Kendrick drove in two with
a single in a three-run frst in-
ning. He added an RBI with a
single when the Angels tacked
on three more in the seventh.
Kole Calhoun homered of
Jarred Cosart (1-1), sending a
drive to right feld for his sec-
ond shot of the series to push
the lead to 4-0 in the ffh in-
ning.
Wilson (1-1) yielded four
hits and a run while fanning
seven. He looked a lot more
like the 17-game winner he
was last year than he did in his
frst start this season when he
allowed eight hits and six runs
in 5 2-3 innings of a loss to Se-
attle.
Houston struggled to get
anything going of of him. Je-
sus Guzman doubled with one
out in the second before Wil-
son retired nine in a row. A
double by Chris Carter came
with one out in the ffh in-
ning, and Wilson sat down 10
straight afer that. Te Astros
fnally got on the board when
Carlos Corporan launched
a 76 mph curveball into the
Crawford Boxes in lef feld for
a home run that made it 8-1.
Cosart was done in by a bad
frst inning where he had to
use 32 pitches. He was pulled
afer allowing three hits, fve
runs and walking four in six
innings.
It was a disappointing second
start for the 23-year-old who
threw fve scoreless frames
for the win in his 2014 debut
against the Yankees.
A pair of walks and a felder's
choice loaded the bases with
one out in the frst inning for
Cosart. A broken-bat ground-
out by Ibanez sent one home to
make it 1-0. Carter had to nav-
igate around the fying piece of
bat that stuck in the dirt right
near where he felded the ball.
Ibanez drove home two with
a single to right feld of reliev-
er Brad Peacock in the seventh.
Kansas is coming of of a
huge series win against their
Big 12 rivals, Kansas State.
Te Jayhawks bounced back
afer a 10-0 shutout in the
frst game of the series to win
two straight.
Te Jayhawks are 21-11
on the season and 5-4 in
their conference this season.
Kansas will head to Iowa City
to take on the Hawkeyes in a
two-game mid-week series.
Iowa enters the series 16-
12 on the season, with a 3-5
conference record. Tey
are coming of of a three-
game sweep by the Indiana
Hoosiers.
Freshman infelder/pitcher
Jon Hander will start for
Kansas on the mound in the
frst game of the two-game
series. Hander has a 3.24
earned run average (ERA) in
8.1 innings pitches over four
appearances thus far.
Kansas has won three out
of their last four games and
will look to carry that success
into Iowa.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Junior lef-felder Michael
Suiter is batting .336 on the
season while driving 21 runs
batted in (RBIs). Suiter bats
in the three hole for Kansas
and has been on a tear since
junior right felder Connor
McKay has been out of the
lineup. Suiter has nine hits in
his last six games improving
his batting average by 16
points. He has scored nine
runs in the span, bringing
his total to 27 in the season.
Suiter has been a catalyst for
the ofense in the absence of
one of their best ofensive
players.

KANSAS WILL WIN IF
Te Jayhawks will start
their mid-week series of
with a win if they dont leave
men on base. Kansas has
lef over eight runners on
base in their 11 losses this
season. Connor McKay still
leads the team with 34 RBIs
even though he has missed
the last seven games. Te
Jayhawks will need to fnd
run production from other
parts in their lineup whether
it be Suiter or someone else.

KANSAS WILL LOSE IF
Kansas will lose their frst
game against Iowa if Hander
cannot pitch more than
six innings efectively. Te
Jayhawk pitching staf is short
right now due to injury and
struggles. Junior lef-handed
pitcher Wes Benjamin is still
hurt, and usual mid-week
starter junior pitcher Drew
Morovick pitched in relief
against Kansas State. Kansas
should hope that Hander
can go deep into the game
and have freshman pitcher
Stephen Villines, who has a
.38 ERA, close it out.

PREDICTION:
If Hander is able to go deep
into the game, Kansas should
have no problem picking up
the victory. Te Jayhawks
have momentum on their
side and will defeat the
Hawkeyes 4-2, with Hander
picking up the win and
Villines recording his fourth
save on the season.

any people talk
about merits of
the one-and-done
system. Does it work? Are the
successes actually fukes? Is it
good for the players?
Like so many sports ques-
tions, it has a very simple
answer: It depends.
John Calipari is the un-
disputed champion of the
system. He prides himself
on being a farm system for
potential NBA superstars and
winning with those players.
His success this year masked
the failure last year, which
featured a recruiting class
flled with highly-rated
players, such as Nerlens Noel
and Archie Goodwin. Tat
team lost in the frst round of
the NIT against a school that
sounds like the name of your
local senator, Robert Morris.
His failure last year under-
mined his championship in
2012. Tat team featured one-
and-dones such as Anthony
Davis and Michael Kidd-
Gilchrist.
Te NIT loss aside, Caliparis
system is catered to specifc
players. His ofense focuses
on the individual. With the
right players, especially at
the point guard position, this
system works.
Bill Self s problem is he is
the complete opposite of John
Calipari. Not only does Self
use less hair gel, but his sys-
tem ofen takes years before
players are comfortable. Look
no further than Travis Rele-
ford, Jef Withey and Russell
Robinson to understand the
importance of developing
within the program.
Joel Embiid and Andrew
Wiggins are incredible
players, but chemistry and
timing are the oxygen and
carbon dioxide of the Kansas
basketball program. Without
the proper amounts, survival
is difcult.
Upperclassmen are the
bread and butter of Kansas
basketball. Even sophomores
have an advantage, which
explains why a team with
Conner Teahan as its sixth
man won four more tourna-
ment games that a team with
two potential top-three picks.
Tat team started two seniors
and three juniors; it had Self s
fngerprints all over it.
Te 2013-14 team put Self
out of his comfort zone. Some
claimed Self was outcoached
much of the year. Te more
accurate claim is Self didnt
have as much time as he
normally does to get players
to buy into his system. Even a
split-second diference can be
devastating, both on ofense
and defense. Tat split second
is a learning process that
takes successful players years
to master.
Ultimately, the one-and-
done system works, but only
when situation is just right,
with the right coach and the
right players.
Te good news for Kansas
fans is Self will return three
starters and much of his ro-
tation, which should put him
back in his comfort zone.
McKay still sits atop the Big 12
leaderboard in RBIs (34) despite not
having driven one in seven games.
Junior shortstop Justin Protacio is
only four hits behind Big 12 leader
Mac James of the Oklahoma Sooners
with 43.
Senior pitcher Frank Duncan leads
the Big 12 in innings pitched (62.1)
and complete games (3) and is third
in ERA (1.59) and strikeouts (49).
Morovick leads the Big 12 with
six wins on the season with a 6-1
record.
Senior center-elder Tucker Tharp is
tied for third in the Big 12 with four
homeruns.
