Athletes from around the country will compete in the Kansas Relays at Rock Chalk Park, the new home of Kansas track and eld, this week.

news@kansan.com Rock Chalk Park will host the Kansas Relays, which runs Wednesday through Saturday, for the first time, despite the unfinished complex. One week ago, city commissioners granted permission for the Kansas Relays to be held at Rock Chalk Park, instead of its regular location at Memorial Stadium. We had to do a walkthrough and make sure structures are sound and just that it is safe for the public to be there, said Jeremy Farmer, vice mayor of Lawrence. Walk-throughs are routine, and every new building in Lawrence is required to have one, Farmer said. It was obvious the track part of the complex was safe and ready to use. The track and the 7,000 bleacher seats are ready to go,

along with locker rooms for the athletes. However, the rest of the park, including softball and soccer facilities and a public recreation center, is still very much under construction. KU Associate Athletic Director Jim Marchiony said visitors will notice the construction, but it wont affect the competition. We are calling this a soft opening, Marchiony said. There is still work to be done, but what people will be able to see and sense is how beautiful of a place it is when it is all done. The facility isnt the only thing different about the relays this year the track is different as well. The material put into the track is of better quality, there is a ninth lane added and each lane is six inches wider. The Kansas Relays is known for its elite athletes, such as

Construction vechicles and an unnished landscape surround Rock Chalk Park, the new sports complex that will host the Kansas Relays. Despite the unnished soccer, softball and recreation facilities, city commissioners granted the Kansas Relays permission one week ago to be held at Rock Chalk Park. Olympian Bruce Jenner who won the decathlon in 1971 and 1974. This year, more than 300 high schools and 250 colleges and universities will be participating in the four-day event. Its an event that has a lot of history, and we want to make sure that history continues, Marchiony said. We build on that tradition and make it a top notch collegiate meet. It is worth it just to see what a venue like that can be. The City of Lawrence contributed $22.5 million for the recreation center inside the park that will include 8 bas-

TECHNOLOGY
Heartbleed reported to not be a threat to University
The Universitys Information Technology department said students accounts are safe from the massive software bug called Heartbleed that recently came to light last week. Security experts made the public aware of the bug last Monday, revealing it as an error in a piece of free software called OpenSSL, which is used by two-thirds of all websites. Heartbleed has been making headlines recently for its potential to put usernames and passwords for many websites at risk. And the possibility for serious consumer data theft is troubling. Experts have also expressed fear that the aw could allow hackers to copy website security certicates, which would allow them to lure users to fake websites to steal personal information. According to the post on the Universitys IT website, students do not need to be concerned with the safety of their University online accounts. The post says the vast majority of servers at KU are not vulnerable to the Heartbleed bug, and they are not requiring students to change their passwords. After the issue came to light, the IT staff began making the appropriate xes to a small number of vulnerable systems, and are monitoring the systems for potential problems. Cody Kuiper

KU Law partners with Indian law schools

KATE MILLER
news@kansan.com The Universitys Law School recently revealed its new partnerships with four of Indias top law schools, which will encourage collaboration between students and faculty of the universities. In addition, the program aims to increase the University of Kansass visibility in India, enhancing job opportunities for law students from all universities involved. Theres a great demand for lawyers in many other countries, said Raj Bhala, associate dean for international and comparative law and Rice Distinguished Professor at the University. Many transactions are across borders, especially when you look at the potential with India. We want our students to have opportunities not only in Western regions, but also in these important emerging markets. Bhala solidified the partnerships, which were his idea, during his March-February
CRYPTOQUIPS 5 OPINION 4

lecture tour of India. After negotiations with the Indian universities, Bhala was able to sign agreements on behalf of Law School Dean Stephen Mazza with the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research in Hyderabad,

In addition to job opportunities, this partnership will also encourage the flow of ideas between universities, allowing collaboration on research projects, scholarship opportunities for students, and international exchanges

India is a ourishing market and so the opportunities there are so much greater than even the opportunities here ... Our education and our experience are assets for them over there. MADELINE HEEREN Law student from Lenexa
between students and faculty of all universities involved. If you think in terms of imports and exports of students, faculty and ideas, it enhances our cross-border trade in all three respects, Bhala said. It increases our bringing in students and faculty from India. It increases our going to India, and it increases the flow of ideas. In order for a law school to enhance its international visibility, it needs to think about how it can import

the Government Law College in Mumbai, the Jindal Global Law School near New Delhi and the Indian Law Institute in New Delhi. The Dean [Stephen Mazza] was wonderfully supportive of me trying this out on behalf of the Law School, Bhala said. At every university, I have friends there. I have family in India, and many family members have connections at the law schools or legal employers there.

and export more in terms of what we deal in and we deal in people and ideas. University law students have been involved with India prior to this partnership as well. Second-year law students Madeline Heeren from Lenexa and Aqmar Rahman from Lawrence will be interning at J. Sagar Associates, a commercial litigation law firm in India, this summer. Were both very interested in international trade, Heeren said. India is a flourishing market and so the opportunities there are so much greater than even the opportunities here because we have a different set of legal knowledge than they have there. Our education and our experience are assets for them over there. Rahman said connections with India will be crucial in upcoming years. The legal market and job market in general, whether youre a law major or a business major, is becoming more global, and the University of

Kansas partnering with these institutions in India is a huge step in the right direction, Rahman said. He said the new partnerships with the law schools in India will offer many similar opportunities to students at the University. I think in the future students will have a variety of options to go study in India, to learn about the legal system, to be able to interact with Indian attorneys and professors and gain a wealth of information and knowledge, Rahman said. I think its a door thats been opened and will greatly help students for years and years to come. Bhala explained that due to Indias growing legal market, the partnerships were natural for the University to take. To reach out to India and create partnerships among the universities led Bhala and the University to take a step outside of our comfort zone.

Alumna uses pageant title to raise disability awareness

MADDY MIKINSKI
news@kansan.com In 2008, Brigid Schwilling lost in that years Ms. Wheelchair Kansas competition. She said her faith prompted her to compete again last month, and on March 16, she had her crown. For six years the coordinator kept sending me an application to run again and I didnt run and I didnt run and I didnt run, and I really felt like God was just telling me, You need to run again, Schwilling said. Schwilling graduated from the University in 1996 with a bachelors degree in elementary education. She continued on to Washburn University to get her masters degree in social work. She worked as a therapist for eight years, but quit because of health problems a year and a half ago. I was a therapist at a community mental health center and I love counseling people and [quitting because of health problems] was really hard for me, Schwilling said. For the first year I was depressed [and] angry. I felt lost. The challenges of her health and the adversity other people with disabilities faced inspired Schwilling to speak out. Unfortunately, there are still people out there that believe that people with disabilities should just stay in their apartments and receive their disability checks and keep their mouths shut, she said. Im here to say that we, as a community with disabilities, we have something to say. Since her victory, Schwilling has been working to spread the message of her platformFinding a Purpose Through Adversity. I think people with disabilities, they go through a lot of adversity, she said. My adversity was Id left my job due to health issues and I felt like I signed up to compete in the Ms. Wheelchair Kansas com-

University honors female students

MADDIE FARBER
news@kansan.com On Thursday, April 10, nine outstanding female students were recognized by the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity at the Womens Recognition Banquet. Each year, the center honors women at the University for their achievements on campus and throughout the community. Apart from students, the event also recognizes women faculty, staff and alumnae who have made a difference in the campus community through things such as service, teaching or involvement. Each of the students who received an award was nominated anonymously. Among the nine students were Leigh Loving, a junior from McPherson, Jill Langlas, a senior from Wheaton, Ill., and Hannah Sitz, a senior from Andover. Loving received the Outstanding Woman Student in Leadership. Other than being a tutor in science courses, her participation in alternative breaks, serving as a research fellow for the Kansas Health Foundation and interning at Childrens Mercy Hospital, Loving said she feels she received the award because of her work with Jayhawk Health Initiative, a prehealth program, of which she is founder and president. I feel very honored to receive the award, especially with how many outstanding women leaders there are here at the University. I think it takes a unique form of leadership to create something like Jayhawk Health Initiative, Loving said. It means my hard work has been recognized by others and I know what Ive done has made a positive impact at KU. As the only female leader on the National Champion Jayhawk Motorsports Formula SAE racecar program, its not surprising that Langlas received the Sally Mason Women Student in Science Award. Langlas said that her role as team lead of Jayhawk motor

Casting call to raise money for campus

CASSIDY RITTER
news@kansan.com KU Endowment is hosting a casting call to promote the University and to help raise private funds for students, faculty and staff. Today, the casting call will be at Mrs. Es from 9 a.m. to noon. This will be the last day to participate. At the casting call, participants will have their photos taken by a professional photographer. After the photo, they are asked to sign a release form and give a quote about what the University means to them. Valerie Gieler, senior editor at KU Endowment, helped plan this event. Gieler said their mission is to work with donors to gain support to build a better University. We will use the photos and quotes to promote the University in a positive light, Gieler said. Theres no better way to do that than to show off the faces and voice of people who are here on campus. KU Endowment hosted a similar casting call two years ago. Gieler said because the casting call was successful then, they wanted to do another one. This years photos will be used for the KU Endowment website, printed brochures, advertisements and specific proposals to donors. Its always more interesting to talk about KU when you can show off the people here instead of just the programs, Gieler said. Were always looking for ways to feature students and our faculty and our staff. The donations received by KU Endowment go back to the University in a variety of forms. While the donors direct where the money goes, much of it goes towards scholarships, fellowships for graduate students, professorships, research funds or campus construction. This years casting call has been running since Monday with about 90 participants on day one. Lisa Wojcehowicz, a senior from Milwaukee, Wis., said many students are excited to know they can be KU famous after this event. Now I can be a part of helping other students get scholarship, Wojcehowicz said. Being a student at KU, you are a part of something bigger than yourself. Participants may take a photo alone or with a group of friends. After the casting call, KU Endowment will create a gallery on their Facebook page where participants may use their own photo for personal use. For more information, visit the KU Endowment Facebook page. Edited by Kate Shelton

petition because I had that message to give. Carrie Greenwood, who founded the Ms. Wheelchair Kansas program in 2004, said Schwillings platform is what made her stand out. [The competition] does not include outer beauty, but includes how you present yourself, Greenwood said. Through a series of interviews, contestants share their platforms and their accomplishments. Schwilling is the 11th contestant Ms. Wheelchair Kansas has crowned in its decade-long history, and she is dedicated to sharing her message. What I get to do now as Ms. Wheelchair Kansas is travel around the state encouraging people with disabilities and educating the public about people with disabilities and advocating for people with disabilities in groups, she said. Im hoping to talk to the Kansas Legislature. Schwilling said she hopes to

improve access to buildings and sidewalks and housing. She also hopes to change attitudes toward people with disabilities. We have a purpose. I believe that all people have a purpose, whether they have a disability or not, she said. Regardless of their skin color or background or abilities, everyone has some ability and I focus on the abilities not the disabilities and thats what I would like to encourage other people to focus on. In August, Schwilling will get to share her platform at the Ms. Wheelchair America pageant in Long Beach, Calif. If God wants me to take this message beyond Kansas, hell make me Ms. Wheelchair America. If he doesnt, someone else will win, she said. But Im already praying for that person, because, whoever wins, their life will be forever changed for the good. Edited by Stella Liang

INDIA FROM PAGE 1

Most American law schools have focused much more on Europe, and when they go into the non-Western world, most of them focus on China, he said. But KU has had more of a global vision and weve seen the important emerging patterns of the rise of India. Weve been paying attention to important markets for our visibility. Because other American universities focus on other areas of the world, Bhala explained that this Indian partnership is unique to the University. Bhala praised the law schools steps in creating a wider international focus for partnerships. We have to be more entrepreneurial and take some calculated risks, Bhala said. Getting us to try to do new things is important. Its stimulating and more important professionally for our students. Edited by Jamie Koziol

sports was definitely a large part of her receiving the award. I put a lot of hard work into my studies and extra curriculars, so its nice that my faculty advisors thought I was doing a good job too. Its reassuring that my work has made a difference, Langlas said. I am always a little shocked by how few girls there are in my major. It was a good option for me to pursue [mechanical] engineering. Other than Jayhawk motorsports, Langlas is also involved in the Self Engineering Leadership Fellows Program, Engineering Student Council and is a student ambassador for the School of Engineering. Growing up in a community, church, school and family that has instilled in her the importance of using her talents and resources to benefit others, it is no shock that Sitz received the Outstanding Woman Student in Community Service award.

Sitz believes that her work with KU Alternative Breaks made her a qualified candidate. I am very honored and very excited to be part of such a distinguished group of women, Sitz said. Ive enjoyed combining that drive [to serve others] with my knack for organization and involvement in a variety of avenues- most notably KU Alternative Breaks. Other than serving as co-director for Alternative Breaks, Sitz is in the University Honors Program, a CORO fellow, (a national internship program), and was the Universitys 17th Truman Scholar last year. She plans to pursue her masters in public administration this fall at Indiana University. This year, the center also inducted six new members to the KU Womens Hall of Fame along with honoring a KU graduate with the Pioneer Woman award. Edited by Cara Winkley

re you lazy? Financially strapped? Environmentally conscious? Constrained by time? We all are, in theory. Its time to join the no poo movement. Its very simple, you just gradually stop using shampoo. Instead of shampooing once or even twice daily, you shampoo once a week. For many reasons, shampooing daily is unnecessary and even unhealthy by some standards. Our scalps produce much more sebum oil when we shampoo than if we did not shampoo. Because we strip our scalps of their natural oils, the scalp is

forced to produce more, creating a vicious cycle. Lorraine Massey, co-owner of Devachan Salon in New York, said to NBC News, When you over-shampoo your hair, your hair is oversecreting oil in order to survive. Some of the chemicals used in household shampoos are not ideal to be repeatedly placing on our skin. You might presume that its unhealthy to not shampoo. But Dr. Paradi Mirmirani, a dermatologist in Vallejo, Calif., said to NBC News its a matter of choice, and that theres nothing gross or harmful about abandoning shampoo. Our ancestors did

without, and there are many people in the developing world who still do without. The people who have participated in the no poo movement say the gains have been real. The Today show even hosted Jacquelyn Byers as a guest because she hasnt used shampoo in five years. Byers believes her hair to be softer, less greasy, and a prettier color since [she]

stopped using shampoo. If you are into celebrity endorsements, in a March interview with Parade Magazine, Shailene Woodley said she only shampoos once a month. But now [my hairs] really short, I only shampoo it like once a month. The oilier, the better. Less money spent on shampoo. Less time lathering and rinsing in the shower. Less waste created by the packaging. Less effort altogether! There is, unfortunately, this period during weaning yourself off shampoo where your hair becomes very oily and unsavory. This is just part of the growing pains

that accompanies trying something new. If youd like to start out gradually, begin with a baking soda mix and then graduate to a water-vinegar combination. It takes time for your scalp to produce less oil. But thats no reason not to try. Join me this month in not shampooing. Half of us wont even shower once finals season rolls around, so lets just start early! Anrenee Reasor is a junior from Thayer studying economics and East Asian languages and culture.

THE EDITORIAL BOARD

Members of the Kansan Editorial Board are Katie Kutsko, Allison Kohn, Lauren Armendariz, Anna Wenner, Sean Powers and Kolby Botts.

ecently, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan released a new budget plan that would decrease $5 trillion in federal spending over the next decade, according to The Washington Post. His proposal plans to take a large chunk out of federal spending by targeting Obamacare, making huge cuts to Medicaid and several other health care programs, raising taxes on middle-class families and making several more cuts from education, food stamps and farm programs. While some may perceive this as a reasonable plan, I was absolutely horrified when I found out what his budget was proposing. Trying to repeal Obamacare would kick millions off their new plans, diminishing the steps taken for health care reform. Medicaid is already facing a tough battle due to the 2012 U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing Medicaid to become an optional decision for states, leaving many people in an even more stressful situation. In Florida, a woman named Charlene Dill recently made headlines because of Floridas decision not to expand Medicaid. Dill suffered a heart condition that required medication, and was able to afford her medication before the Supreme Court ruling. Due to Floridas decision not to expand Medicaid, Dill was unable to get health coverage because she did

not make enough money to qualify for Obamacare. Dill worked several lowincome jobs, her most recent job was selling vacuums at Rainbow Vacuums. On March 21, Dill needed to add two extra appointments in order to make enough money to make it through the day for herself and her three children, and ended up collapsing and dying on a strangers floor during the appointment, according to Orlando Weekly. Students may not think issues like these matter to them because, well, were students and doing homework and focusing on graduation is our biggest focus, right? However, these issues are extremely important, especially because we are a generation that is currently living through these issues and we will have to deal with these issues once we graduate, get jobs and have families. You may have friends or family who were affected by optional Medicaid expansion, or you may have friends or family who recently signed up for Obamacare. Ryans proposal on taxation targets middleclass families with children by increasing taxes by an average of at least $2,000,

according to politicususa. com. The reason middleclass families could potentially see this raise in taxes is because Ryan wants to decrease taxes for households with incomes over $1 million, meaning the rich would receive huge tax breaks while the middle class continues to decline. If Obamacare were to be repealed, health care coverage costs would increase, affecting families and business, which in turn would be eliminating coverage for the 3 million young adults who have gained coverage by staying on their parents plan, according to politicususa. com. This country already has an excruciatingly huge gap between the lower class and the wealthy. We have marginalized the lower to middle class in several different ways, and every time steps are made to make things more equal, we have people like Paul Ryan trying to take us down a notch, or five trillion notches. I cannot respect a country that has politicians aiming to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer. We need to stand against budget proposals like Ryans because they directly affect us, whether we know it now or not. Cecilia Cho is a junior from Overland Park studying journalism.

Its kind of like a real version of a horoscope. There are 16 possible types. Being able to divide the thousands of students at KU into 16 personality types seems ridiculous, yet I can say from personal experience that its strikingly accurate. I researched into my type and learned incredible things about myself. Its funny, Ive had my brain for 19 years but never really understood it until now. I never considered questioning why I think or feel the ways I do because living is an inherently native process. It took this test for me to step outside of my brain and see it from an outside perspective. In doing so, I became confident in my knowledge of who I am and what I want no small feat. Im now able to better apply myself. I realize what I should be doing to make myself happier and more successful. Especially in how I interact with other people. By understanding my personality Ive become much more understanding and accessible.

The test has a great implication for benefiting interpersonal relationships. I also had many of my friends take the test and we all learned so much about each other. No matter how close these friends and I were, the exposure of their (and my) inner thought processes created a new level of understanding. I also discovered people do not think in the same ways. I knew that before, but prior to the test I never really had significant insight into how other people actually think. I could only judge others under the illumination of my own experiences. Thats why this test is so impactful. Ive learned a lot about myself from attending college, but the dramatic change Ive experienced from the test was unparalleled. Take the test. There are free versions online, and a wealth of analysis across the internet. Youll only benefit from it. Dalton Boehm is a freshman from Merriam studying journalism.

Pulitzer Prizes announced; Goldnch wins for ction

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Donna Tartt's "The Goldfinch," already among the most popular and celebrated novels of the past year, has won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. One of the country's top colonial historians, Alan Taylor, has won his second Pulitzer, for "The Internal Enemy: Slavery and War In Virginia." Annie Baker's "The Flick" won the Pulitzer for drama, a play set in a movie theater that was called a "thoughtful drama with well-crafted characters" which created "lives rarely seen on the stage." The award Monday for general nonfiction went to Dan Fagin's "Toms River: A Story of Science and Salvation," a chronicle of industrial destruction in a small New Jersey community that was praised by The New York Times as a "classic of science reporting." Megan Marshall's "Margaret Fuller: A New American Life," about the 19th century intellectual and transcendentalist, won for biography; and Vijay Seshadri's witty and philosophical "3 Sections" received the poetry prize. The Pulitzer for music was given to John Luther Adams' "Become Ocean," which judges cited as "a haunting orchestral work that suggests a relentless tidal surge, evoking thoughts of melting polar ice and rising sea levels." Tartt's novel, a sweeping, Dickensian tale about a young orphan set in modern Manhattan, was published last fall to high praise and quick commercial success that has not relented. "The Goldfinch" has been nominated for a National Book Critics Circle prize and an Andrew Carnegie Medal and on Monday was in the top 40 on Amazon.com's best seller list even before the Pulitzer was announced. Fans of the 50-year-old Mississippi native, many of whom still had strong memories of her 1992 debut, "The Secret History," had waited a decade for her to complete her third novel. "The Goldfinch" was published after the disappointing "The Little Friend." The Pulitzer will likely ensure her place among the elite of contemporary fiction writers and make "The Goldfinch" a million seller. "I am incredibly happy and incredibly honored and the only thing I am sorry about is that

Author Megan Marshall poses on the steps of her home in Belmont, Mass., Monday. Marshall won a Pulitzer Prize for her book Margaret Fuller: A New American Life. Willie Morris and Barry Hannah aren't here. They would have loved this," said Tartt, referring to two authors who had been early mentors. Meanwhile, the 59-year-old Taylor has reaffirmed his stature as a premier scholar of early American history. His "William Cooper's Town: Power and Persuasion on the Frontier of the Early American Republic," winner of the Pulitzer and Bancroft prizes, was published in 1996 and praised as an enlightening and rigorous study of the founding of Cooperstown, N.Y. "The Internal Enemy" has been cited as a worthy follow-up to Edmund Morgan's landmark "American Slavery, American Freedom," a story of the conflicting passions among white Virginians who both eloquently defended their own freedoms and suspiciously presided over the slaves who made their livelihoods possible. Taylor said Monday that the book had been an education for him recalling how he came upon documents that showed how escaped slaves had assisted the British during the War of 1812 and were an important factor in the British capture of Washington, D.C. "This is a story I had known nothing about and I was supposed to be a specialist," he said. The Columbia University's prize board honored Baker, who is in her early 30s, for her play about friendship, morality and loyalty. "The Flick" played off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons last year becoming divisive among critics. Many admired its attempt to capture real life but others found it tediously long. In "The Flick," three relatively youthful, low-paid employees

Kansas heptathlete Lindsay Vollmer leads her heat during the Jayhawk Classic in February. This week, Vollmer received her second Big 12 Female Athelete of the Week.

GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN

Events begin today including 5,000-meter and 400-meter races

BEN BURCH
sports@kansan.com The 87th Kansas Relays will commence Wednesday as the first event held at Rock Chalk Park, the new, state-of-theart facility that will now be the home of Kansas track and field. Nearly 90 Kansas athletes will represent the Jayhawks at the Relays, in addition to athletes from other schools, which will wrap up on Saturday. While each event with Jayhawk competitors will be exciting in their own respects, here are a few events to watch out for that will feature high-profile Kansas athletes. One of the most anticipated events of the weekend is the heptathlon, featuring junior Lindsay Vollmer, who holds the school record in this event. So far this outdoor season, Vollmer, who won last seasons NCAA outdoor heptathlon title, has met the high expectations being put on her. In her first meet of 2014 outdoor campaign, Vollmer won the Texas Relays heptathlon on March 27 with a winning 5,640 point total. This is the fourth highest in Kansas heptathlon history. Vollmer will enter the meet still ranked atop the Big 12 in the heptathlon. While her focus for the weekend will surely be on continuing her success, Vollmer admits she is just happy to be there for this memorable moment in Kansas sports history. Our team is blessed to have this facility and I know there will be some great performances on this track, Vollmer said. This year will be the start of a great future for the Kansas Relays and Im just glad I get to be a part of it. The womens 5,000 meters will also be a good race to watch, as Jayhawk senior Natalie Becker will be riding a hot streak into the event on Friday. Becker rewrote Jayhawk track and field history books two weeks ago at the Stanford Invitational when she ran the 5,000 meters in 16:20.80, making her the fastest in the event in school history. Becker will look to have a similar performance on Thursday when the 5,000-meter race gets underway. Eyes will also be on the womens 400 meters prelims this Friday as senior Diamond Dixon will make her 2014 outdoor season 400 meters debut, an event which she not only holds the school record (50.88), but also an event that she has won at the last three Big 12 Conference Championships. Dixon will try to prove in the qualifying race Friday and the finals Saturday that she can make a run at the four-peat for the 400 meters conference title. On the mens side, the pole vault will be a key field event to look out for, as the Jayhawk men already have five pole vaulters clear the 17-foot mark this outdoor season. There is currently no other team in the NCAA this outdoor season that has more than three athletes that have reached this mark so far. One of these five Jayhawks is junior Casey Bowen, who three weeks ago at the Texas Relays became the ninth pole vaulter in Kansas history to reach the 18-foot mark. As he and his teammates have shown skill and unmatched depth so far this outdoor season. Bowen is not only thrilled to see what his team can do this weekend, but what they can do for the rest of the season. I am excited to see what the team can do this year, Bowen said. We have tons of talent, now it is just a matter of putting it together at the right time. Yet another school record holder will be in action on Friday when junior Michael Stigler takes the track for the 400-meter hurdle preliminaries. Coming off a 50.08 time in the event at the Texas Relays, which still stands as the fastest in the Big 12 so far this season, Stigler will look to get past prelims and impress the Jayhawk crowd for the finals on Saturday. Action from Rock Chalk Park will kick off today at 10 a.m. and is expected to wrap up on Saturday around 3:30 p.m. Fans looking to catch this historic meet will be admitted for free on Wednesday and Thursday, while tickets for Friday and Saturday to the public will be $5. University of Kansas students will be admitted for free all weekend. Edited by Jack Feigh

QUOTE OF THE DAY

What they have to realize and what we try to teach them is that your mistakes are going to be magnied. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, on NFL players off-theeld troubles USA Today

THE MORNING BREW

C
San Francisco 49ers experience trouble with players
incinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis probably slept pretty well on Sunday night. It wasnt because of a new mattress, nor was it because of sleeping pills. No, it was because, for the first night in recent memory, his team was officially off the hook as the NFLs most troubled extracurricular team. The San Francisco 49ers Aldon Smith made certain of that. Heres what we know. Smith, a former defensive end at Missouri, was randomly selected for additional screening while going through security at LAX airport on Sunday around 2 p.m. When chosen for said screening he became belligerent, eventually claiming that he was in possession of a bomb. He was then arrested and detained for making a false bomb threat. Yikes. On the seemingly endless list of crimes committed by professional football players, Smiths false bomb threat is surely a first. But Sunday afternoons situation wasnt the only mishap for San Fran players this offseason. It was simply the breaking point following a series of unfortunate events that began almost three weeks ago. On March 28, cornerback Chris Cul-

This after making controversial comments that gay players, cant be in the locker room, back in 2013. Two weeks later, on April 10, it was revealed that quarterback Colin Kaepernick is part of a Miami PD investigation concerning a questionable incident at a downtown luxury hotel. The events of that night are a bit hazy and information is still trickling out, but its fair to say that Kaep was likely in a situation he shouldnt have been in. And now, the Smith dilemma.

Niners organization, and its an issue that cant be ignored any longer. San Francisco general manager Trent Baalke and coach Jim Harbaugh must seriously examine their clubs culture and social environment before making some tough decisions in the coming weeks. The 49ers have long been considered among the leagues classiest franchises. Being associated with the type of behavior that their players have displayed in recent weeks just isnt what theyre about. Additionally, Harbaughs comments last year that, we want to be above reproach in everything and do everything by the rules, will draw an even closer eye on how the team handles this. One of these troubled players will likely be made an example of, and the obvious choice for the honor is Culliver. Sure, Smith has possession of marijuana, possession of illegal assault weapons and two DUI charges to his name, but hes also a former Rookie of the Year, All-Pro and one of the best pass-rushers in the league. In other

words: hes not going anywhere. Kaepernick is the face of the 49ers franchise, the future of San Francisco footballhes staying as well. But Harbaugh forced his own hand with the remarks on his team being a model for perfection. Though the Niners reportedly were planning on extending Cullivers contract, hes clearly the most expendable of the bunch and would swiftly quell talks of management losing control of its players. However you spin it, its clear that something must be done in San Fran. The team now finds itself the focus of what has become an increasingly visible problem regarding pro football players violating the law. It will be interesting to see how Baalke and Harbaugh respond, but expect some kind of action to be taken within the coming weeks. Edited by Kate Shelton

Kansas searches for new center

By Matt Corte

Kansas struggles in midweek series

SHANE JACKSON
sports@kansan.com The Kansas Jayhawks (2216) took longer than usual, to break down from their post-game speech from head coach Ritch Price. The message seemed clear after Kansas 3-5 loss to Grand Canyon, and that was the Jayhawks have got to get better in their midweek games if they want to make the tournament. I told our guys, we got a 19game race to the finish line. We put ourselves in position to make it to the NCAA tournament if we continue to play good, said Price. For the third straight time, sixth overall, the Jayhawks have left the diamond in a weekly contest in defeat. The home loss to the Antelopes pushes their week play record to now, 2-6 on the year. Its an inexcusable loss. Its a bad taste in the mouth. Thats one of those games you got to win. Weekdays are just as important as the weekend games, said senior catcher Kaiana Eldredge. The stage was practically set for the Jayhawks to turn their weekday misfortunes around. After perhaps their most complete performance all year, a 5-1 win over Texas Christian University, the Jayhawks were set to take on the Grand Canyon Antelopes in a two game set at Hoglund Ballpark. I was so proud of the toughness we showed against TCU. We cant go forward and back like that, tonight is a clear example. They got five runs off six hits and thats basically mathematically impossible to do, said Price. Grand Canyon is in its first year as a Division One pro-

BASEBALL

lthough Andrew Wiggins was coined as the once-in-a-generation player coming into the University of Kansas, hes not the one fans should worry about replacing next year. No player will provide the same athleticism or amount of skill that Wiggins possessed, but with wings such as Wayne Selden, Brannen Greene, Andrew White and Kelly Oubre, theres plenty of talent for Coach Bill Self to fill the small forward spot. Rather, its Joel Embiids announcement to declare for the NBA draft last week that has left a gaping hole at the center position. Embiid was the only center listed on the Jayhawks roster, while senior forward Tarik Black also provided veteran leadership at that position. But Black is gone, too. This leaves redshirt sophomore Landen Lucas as the only player on Kansas roster who played the majority of his minutes at center. Could Lucas be our starting center next year? Possibly, but after a year in which we saw Lucas play only 22 games with minimal minutes on the floor, it may be asking too much of him. Another option is Arkansas transfer Hunter Mickelson. The junior broke an Arkansas freshman record with 72 blocks in 2011-2012, and at 6-foot-10 he has prototypical height for a center. Sitting out a year of college basketball because of transfer rules wont help anyone as much as playing could though, so I dont foresee Mickelson being the Jayhawks starting center either. Thankfully for the University, help could be on the way shortly. Myles Turner, the No. 2 ranked high school center according to ESPN.com, and the last unsigned McDonalds All-American has Kansas on his short list of schools he will play for next season. Oddly enough, the opportunity to land Turner only came because of Embiids decision to leave for the NBA. Coach Self told me himself that if Embiid stays, its not worth my time, Turner said while answering fans questions during a live chat on USAToday.com. The answer Turner gave shows Self being brutally honest with the recruit, but that honesty also may have worked. The 6-foot-11 Trinity High School recruit gave Self nothing but respect for telling the truth, something that could play a huge role in landing Turner. Not all is lost if Turner doesnt choose Kansas, as highly touted recruits Cliff Alexander and Kelly Oubre will certainly make a mark during their freshman seasons. However, what separates these two from Turner is simple; Alexander and Oubre are wanted, while Turner is needed. Hes needed if Kansas wants to retain its prominence with big men. Hes needed if Kansas wants to win an 11th straight Big 12 regular season championship. Most importantly, hes needed if Kansas doesnt want another early exit in the NCAA tournament next season.

Most notably, its freshman pitcher, Zebastian Valenzuela, who made just his innings of work. Junior pitcher Drew Morovick got the start for the Jayhawks. He struggled with his command and gave up two early runs off four hits Smith did quick work in the sixth, the Jayhawks third consecutive 1-2-3 inning, before taking the lead in the home half of the sixth. After his job on the mound, Smith led off with a single and swipe second to put him in scoring position with no outs. He would later slide home on the third Kansas sac fly to take their first lead of the game at 3-2. Just when it looked as if the Jayhawks would get that midweek monkey off their back, they had a catastrophic seventh inning. Smith struck out the first batter but walked the next two.

runs off just one hit. As if that werent enough, another mental mistake in the eighth ended any hope the Jayhawks had. After a leadoff double by Smith, he was caught leaning too far towards third and was thrown out to end any rally they might have had. I am more disappointed in myself than my team. I walked a couple guys. I messed up on base running. A lot of this is on me, not the team, said Smith. Kansas will look to avoid the sweep as they play game two today. First pitch will be at 6 p.m.

While Self said the playing on the injury couldnt make it any worse, Selden never had any issue getting on the court. It was just bad enough not to do anything about it, Self said.
