More than 200 students were
spotted on Wescoe Beach yester-
day enjoying the weather, cruising
on skateboards, chalking the side-
walks, chatting away and wearing
a variety of get-ups and costumes.
They were all brought together by
one common denominator, and
when the beat dropped, synchro-
nized dance chaos ensued.
The popular dance that pos-
sessed the KU mens basketball
team just days ago also called
on all students of KU on Feb.
17 at 4 p.m., thanks to freshmen
Alexander Delgado from Austin,
Texas and Eric Bridgewater from
Topeka, Kan.
What started out as 45 minutes
of Harlem Shake YouTube watch-
ing in Delgados residence hall
quickly progressed into a Facebook
event with over 1,200 invitations
and 203 confirmed attendees. The
event then spread onto Twitter and
through text messages, and hun-
dreds of people showed up to take
part in the 1981-inspired dance.
We just invited, like, 100 people
and told them to invite all of their
friends and so on. Facebook did
its magic, and then we were at,
like, 1,000 invites, Delgado said.
It could have been bigger, but for
only four days planning, it was an
awesome turnout. The location was
great, and no cops showed up.
While some students were
dressed in casual attire, most were
dressed in costumes, including
Perry the Platypus, a milk carton, a
redneck, Tigger, hamsters, Jayhawk
Superman and teddy bears.
However, the costume receiving
the most attention was that of Max
Moore, a freshman from Gardner,
Kan. Moore was dressed as an
infamous Hooters girl, while also
sporting bunny ears.
The Harlem Shake is just so
popular because everybody can get
involved and it doesnt take any
skills to wiggle around and gyrate,
Moore said. It took forever to get
started, but it was rocking and was
the best one by far. We had the
most costumes and spirit in com-
parison to all other schools.

As any private resident, store
owner or bar patron will vouch,
Tennessee Street isnt an easy place
to park on the weekends, or any
day for that matter. With the help
of the Environmental Protection
Agency, the City of Lawrence will
be taking steps to address the traf-
fic congestion issue this April.
The Oread neighborhood
between the main campus and
downtown Lawrence has long been
home to traffic congestion, lack of
parking availability, deteriorating
sidewalks and biking difficulties.
This is an outstanding challenge
for senior Ryan Carney, a market-
ing major from Chicago, who has
trouble parking in the area when
he visits his girlfriends house on
the 1200 block of Tennessee Street.
If you go in the afternoon on
any day really, its tough to find a
parking spot, Carney said. You
have to pick and choose when you
go down there.
Out of 121 cities who applied,
the EPA selected 23 communities to
receive technical assistance through
its Building Blocks for Sustainable
Communities Program. Lawrence
will be receiving a parking audit.
Just putting up parking garages
is not the solution, said Whitney
Rawls, the EPA Point of Contact
for the Lawrence project. Its find-
Walking in the hallways between
classes, on the bus, even just sit-
ting in the Union for 20 minutes,
it seems like the faces in the sea of
people are always changing at the
University of Kansas.
For incoming freshmen that
are excitedly waiting to join these
crowds and become these faces,
theres a little bit of nervousness
about how to navigate their new
future home.
Tis is where orientation as-
sistants step in. Tere are 16 new
faces of KU that will take over
and conduct new student orienta-
tion this summer.
Te names were announced
earlier this month afer a long and
intensive application and interview
process. Tese students will work
alongside their orientation coor-
dinators, the student Hawk Link
Guides and Peer Advisors to wel-
come incoming students and their
parents to the University, and assist
them with any questions they have.
Natalie Scott, an orientation co-
ordinator from Topeka, said the
University looks for a wide variety
of students for the position, and
that its all about building a cohe-
sive team.
It doesnt have to be the most
involved student, or a student with
a perfect GPA either, she said. Its
really about being involved in dif-
ferent parts of the University and
having diferent experiences.
Kailee Karr, a sophomore from
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, said her desire
to become an orientation assistant
stemmed from her personal orien-
tation experience and the connec-
tion she had with her OA.
Patrick [Blanchard] was great
and he felt like the frst real friend
I made on campus. I knew I wanted
to be an OA to further my knowl-
edge about KU, she said. Over
the past two years my interest has
developed further into more of a
desire to be part of this pivotal ex-
perience in new students lives.
Karr said she and Blanchard still
communicate, and he was a re-
source for her to get advice about
the application process.
Orientation is a time when a
lot of information is coming the
students way, and having a calm,
clear leader is invaluable, she said.
I hope that the students I come
into contact with feel like they have
made their frst friend at KU afer
leaving our session.
With the title also comes the re-
sponsibility, and the lives of the new
OAs are about to get a little bit busi-
er. Starting in March, they will meet
once a week for more introductory
sessions. Te day afer graduation,
that training turns into 40 hours a
week for two weeks, where they will
learn about academic requirements
and diferent campus resources.
Teyre kind of a sponge for that
two weeks, they can just soak up
that knowledge. Ten, when new
students come in, depending on
what theyre working with, theyll
be prepared, said Jessica Penca, a
graduate assistant in the Ofce of
the First Year Experience.
Te thing Im most excited
about for being an OA is the op-
portunity it provides to be around
like-minded people who have a
similar passion for creating a great
environment for new students,
Karr said. I cant wait to brain-
storm and work with fellow OAs
and staf to come up with ideas that
will generate an even better atmo-
sphere for growth and diversity
among new students.
Leah Swartz, a junior from Santa
Monica, Calif., said she believes
spending time with her new co-
workers will be rewarding.
Ive heard that this job is like a
family, she said. Im really excited
to build those new relationships
and to kind of branch out of my
own social network and meet new
people and create this family.
Conner Hampton, a freshman
from Holton, echoes Swartzs be-
lief.
I am most looking forward to
getting to know an entire team
familyof amazing people, and

bill seeks to limit
adult businesses
A bill in the Kansas House aiming
to restrict adult businesses has re-
emerged. HB 2054, The Community
Defense Act, was heard last Thursday
by the Committee on Federal and State
Affairs
According to the bill, The purpose
of the community defense act is to
regulate sexually oriented businesses
in order to promote the health, safety
and general welfare of the citizens of
Kansas. Sexually oriented businesses
refer mainly to adult cabarets, adult
video stores or sexual device shops.

Students from varying in-
terests and activities came to-
gether at the Blueprints Lead-
ership Conference on Saturday
to hear new ideas and methods
for becoming
better leaders
and working
toward their
goals.
The event
was headed
by co-direc-
tors Kathryn
Hoven, a se-
nior from
Chester, N.J.,
and Brandon Rogers, a senior
from Plano, Texas. About 150
students signed up to attend the
free conference.
This program is open to all
students; undergraduate, gradu-
ate, and we even had a few that
were fifty or sixty years old,
Rogers said. Whether theyre
already in student organizations
or looking to get involved, we
wanted everyone to take away
the message of our theme, which
was to make KU teachable, man-
ageable and navigable.
The co-directors hoped that
the conference would motivate
students to take advantage of the
opportunities presented to them
on and off campus, whether it
be a job interview, a position in
an organization, a grant applica-
tion, a study abroad trip or any
other experience.
Were trying to remind ev-
eryone that taking advantage
of every opportunity is always
a good thing, Hoven said. You
can always
turn anything
into a skill that
makes you not
only look bet-
ter on paper,
but a more
wel l -rounded
individual and
a better leader.
Part of the
day was also
devoted to showing the students
the steps it takes to be able to
host an event on campus. In one
activity, the students focused on
something they had an interest
in and practiced planning a ser-
vice event for it.
Passion was kind of our over-
arching theme. We asked what is
it that you love? and then tried
to help students figure out how
to incorporate that into every-
thing they do, Hoven said. We
want them to find whats really
important to them as a student,
to find what they care about,
and to teach them to able to put
that into action.

poLiCe reports
In only three weeks time, a small

group of students has produced,
directed and starred in two plays.
Te two undergraduate black
box plays, Te Zoo Story and
Te American Dream (both by
Edward Albee)
feature all-stu-
dent casts and
two student di-
rectors.
We have free
reign to direct
a one act of our
choosing. Te
show is designed
to accent the di-
rectors work so
there is minimal
set, costuming
and designing, said Jacci Lufin,
a senior from Melbourne, Fla,
who is directing Te American
Dream.
Te plays were written in
1959/1960 and speak to the con-
straints of society in that time,
which I believe to transcend to to-
day, Lufin said.
Brian Buntin, a junior from
Paola, is directing Te Zoo Sto-
ry.
As a director, I create the show
that the audience sees, Buntin
said. During the rehearsal pro-
cess the actors and I would work
for about two and a half hours a
night on blocking, acting and un-
derstanding the show itself.
Both Lufin and Buntin had
to apply to be
directors and
were selected by
the University.
Minus the
lighting, which
was done by
one of the pro-
fessors, I per-
sonally worked
on every other
piece of the
production, in-
cluding the cos-
tumes, Buntin said.
Both directors and cast were ex-
pected to have a full-scale produc-
tion of the two plays by the end of
three weeks.
Tere is a lot that goes into
directing a play, but we only had
three weeks. Whatever we de-
cided to do, we had to do quickly,
Lufin said. As a student director,
Im expected to be multiple steps
ahead of the production and al-
ways looking for chances to learn
and improve.
Jordan Partin, a senior from
Garden City, plays Mrs. Barker in
Te American Dream, and says
that working only with students is
a good learning experience.
Te cool thing about getting to
work with a student director is that
we are all kind of on the same play-
ing feld. Odds are that we are at
similar points in our training and
therefore there is a lot of room for
experimenting, Partin said.
Lufin, Buntin and Partin are
all pleased with the progress of the
productions.
Tere has been a real sense of
teamwork with this show. We work
together to understand the script
and to discover the characters,
Partin said.
Te remaining show times are
Feb. 19, 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m. in
the William Inge Teater inside
Murphy Hall. Tickets are $15 for
the public, $14 for senior citizens,
KU faculty and staf, and $10 for
students.

students almost everyday this sum-
mer. I get to be on the campus that
I love and get to watch as others fall
in love with the campus right before
my very eyes, Hampton said.
While Swartz hopes to be a re-
source for out-of-state students like
herself, Hampton said he thinks he
will bring a youthful and fun ap-
proach to his job, and hopes others
can have a similar experience as he
did at orientation.
When I was looking for a col-
lege I was completely torn for where
I wanted to go, but afer coming to
KUs orientation the decision be-
came clear to me, he said. I would
like to provide that experience for
others as well and get them inte-
grated in KU tradition and com-
munity.
Karr hopes to promote cultural
awareness and understanding
among incoming freshmen.
I believe that my studies and ex-
periences in world culture are going
to be helpful, she said. As a new
student, one of the most shocking
aspects of attending a large univer-
sity can be the diferentiating world
views. I look to promote a culture of
acceptance and growth, and under-
standing how other cultures work
will be a great advantage for this.

ing a holistic approach to the needs
of the stakeholders.
The Building Blocks program
will work to identify parking solu-
tions to traffic congestion and lack
of parking availability, improve the
walkability of the area by explor-
ing public transportation options
and encourage bicycling by mak-
ing the area more biker-friendly.
Ultimately, these solutions would
not only address overcrowding in
the Oread neighborhood but also
reduce emissions.
City planners are conducting an
audit to identify the parking needs
of the neighborhood, paying spe-
cific attention to what times park-
ing demands are heaviest.
Previous communities that
have received assistance from the
Building Blocks tools have expe-
rienced quick turnarounds. Once
the data from the parking audit
is ready for discussion at an April
17 workshop, Rawls and Kris
Lancaster, from the EPAs Office
of Public Affairs, expect only a few
weeks before the city will be ready
to take the next step.
Where exactly that next step
will lead the city is yet unclear,
but the EPA is committed to find-
ing a solution that will solve the
problem in both an effective and
efficient fashion.
A lot of people think to solve
the parking issue, build more park-
ing garages, but thats not the solu-
tion of this Building Blocks tool,
Rawls said. Its improving the
walkability of the neighborhood as
a whole -- exploring the alternate
public transportation.
The city will be looking to iden-
tify alternative solutions, such as
reconsidering bus routes, address-
ing the deteriorating sidewalks
and increasing bike lanes, to make
the area friendlier to pedestrians
and bikers. These solutions, Rawls
said, aim to improve air quality in
downtown areas.
The end goal that is our interest
is reduction of emissions, which is
a key part of what the EPA believes
in, Rawls said.
Lancaster encourages mem-
bers of the Lawrence community,
including KU students, to attend a
meeting open to the public to dis-
cuss their specific needs on April
17 in a location to be determined.
We want to engage as many
people as we can -- neighborhood
groups, residential property own-
ers, business owners, students and
KU faculty, Lancaster said.

A
fter a week of losses
devastating to any loyal
Kansas basketball fan,
the teams impressive finish last
Monday night became a win
for the record books with the
Jayhawks out-rebounding the
Wildcats 41-23. But even outside
the walls of Allen Fieldhouse,
every year students all across
campus experience a little
rebounding for themselves as
well.
A rebound relationship (or
sex, etc.) is characterized by
entering one relationship shortly
after breaking one off with the
partner before. Traditionally
rebound relationships are con-
sidered unhealthy and constructs
in which people use one another,
but despite their criticisms,
research from the University of
Toronto has found that rebounds
can actually do a person good.
I met the guy I would later
secretly consider my go-to
rebound just weeks after moving
to Lawrence for my freshman
year in 2008. Chris (name has
been changed) was the perfect
guy for the job too: tall, dark,
handsome and perpetually sin-
gle. We started seeing each other
after I unapologetically severed
ties with a sub-par fling, and
with that, the dynamic between
us shifted from platonic to flirty.
We saw each other briefly, but
I extinguished our bond only a
few weeks in then started seeing
a new guy the next month, which
promptly became serious. My
rebound and I kept in touch and
hung out occasionally, and when
my boyfriend became overbear-
ing and controlling toward the
end of our relationship forbid-
ding me from even going to a
party my rebound invited me to
Chris was the first guy I went
out with following my impend-
ing breakup. And the rebound
date and my newfound freedom
were awesome.
Shortly after, Chris and I
fizzled again, only to go out on
another rebound date approxi-
mately a year later after another
split with a guy I had been see-
ing for most of my sophomore
year. Then, as you may be able to
guess by now, we cut ties again,
and Ive only seen him once
since.
Rebound opponents say that
jumping into one kind of rela-
tionship shortly after another
without first getting over ones ex
is a recipe for disaster and is ulti-
mately unfair to the new partner.
However, according to
Stephanie Spielmann of the
University of Toronto, people
who are anxiously attached, or
those who often seek self-worth
in relationships (including those
with romantic partners, friends
and family), often benefit from
rebounds because they help them
finally detach from their former
romances.
In fact, in a 2009 study she
conducted, Spielmann con-
cluded that rebound relation-
ships enabled anxiously attached
people to disrupt their longing
for their ex-lovers when they
believed that they could eas-
ily find a new partner. And
while most of the population is
not characterized as anxiously
attached, a rebound relationship
could be beneficial for many
people anyway if they are so
inclined because a rebound is a
great opportunity to turn over a
new leaf.
Finally, whether we tend to
immediately put ourselves back
out in the dating world or main-
tain a low profile for some time
post-breakup, at least exploring
the benefits of a rebound is a
worthwhile cause, regardless of
how much we as individuals rely
on relationships to feel worthy.
We may determine that a
rebound is indeed not the best
course of action after nixing a
previous relationship due to our
personalities and how we choose
to cope. But at least knowing
that can help us deal with future
breakups when they arise.
And in the end, knowing
when to rebound and when to
just take the bench can ulti-
mately keep us playing the dating
game as best as we can.

S
urvival of the fittest is a
well-known phrase, but to
be honest, I never thought
it would apply to getting on a
bus.
There I was, standing outside
Lippincott hall, shivering like
wheat in a blizzard, waiting for
the most cutthroat bus on cam-
pus: 43 Red.
Kansas was having one of its
temper tantrums, below zero
days of intense cold and fero-
cious wind, and my hands and
face were entirely exposed to the
weather. More than anything I
wanted to put my hands in my
pocket, but as they were holding
two large bins full of cookies, this
was not possible.
The bus was right on time,
and for just a moment I was
excited. Then I saw it: the fresh-
men swarm. Coming from GSP
and Corbin, the bus was entirely
packed with students, and the
looks I was getting from the rid-
ers were much colder than the
weather outside. Before I even
tried to board the bus I could tell
they wanted me to understand
that none of them were going to
move for me.
But I tried anyway, because
it was either that or walk to
Nunemaker for my class. It took
nearly five minutes for the bus
driver to coax the hardened stu-
dents into shuffling back a few
steps to allow me and two other
passengers to enter, and even
then we were given only a tiny
patch of floor on which to stand.
Somehow, I made it to
Nunemaker without dropping
my cookies. It was certainly no
thanks to the bus riders, who
made a mass exodus at the next
stop a building away from the
stop where I had entered. Sure,
they could have gotten off one
stop sooner so that the other
cold, would-be passengers at my
stop could have boarded, but
instead they rode the extra thirty
feet simply because no one could
make them walk.
This enlightening incident got
me to thinking that while I got
on the bus that day, there really
ought to be a system for deciding
which people get to ride the bus
in days of bad weather. I mean,
sure, its possible people could
be polite and exit a stop sooner
if they see the bus is full. Its also
conceivable that students could
pack the bus more quickly and
without complaint, but if that
day was any indication, change
isnt going to happen on its own.
Changing a habitual behavior
like this takes extreme measures,
and I think I have just the right
solution. It is because of this that
I propose the first-ever, 43 Red
Bus lottery.
Now this lottery wouldnt
be the kind of game where the
selected student receives money.
Instead, the lottery winner would
be subjected to a modern day,
Shirley Jackson style lottery (for
those who dont know, Shirley
Jackson is the author of The
Lottery, which features a towns
deadly adherence to tradition).
The method would be simple.
Whenever students boarded or
exited the bus they would scan
their KU ID card where they
normally would have as a paying
rider. Rather than record pay-
ment, this system would keep
track of which KU students were
on the bus so that when the time
for the lottery came, all would be
prepared.
When the bus is not crowded
all would work as normal from
here, but in those cases where
there is simply not enough room
for all of the passenger-hopefuls,
the lottery would determine who
would be allowed to ride. For
however many students are at
the next stop, that many students
would be kicked off of the bus
lottery style. So for instance,
if there were three students at
Lippincott Hall waiting for the
bus, but the bus is full when it
pulls up, the computer would
randomly select three current
riders to be kicked off so the
new riders could enter. This way
students are not forced to make a
selfless choice by giving up their
spot for another rider. They are
simply forced to get off.
And if a student refuses to
leave the bus? This is the mod-
ern world, so naturally we arent
going to use The Lottery tradi-
tion of stoning them to death. Its
rude, and last I checked, highly
illegal. Instead, we shall take
crumpled up issues of Kansan
and toss them at the chosen
student until they exit the bus.
The student will naturally pick
up the mess as they leave by
then theyll have learned to be
considerate towards their fellow
students. Most important, by
then they will realize that anyone
could be that person stuck at
Lippincott Hall with their hands
full of cookie bins.

I
m not going to be the guy
who convinces you that
homosexuality is perfectly
natural. I still sometimes use the
words gay and lame inter-
changeably. I wince when I see
two men kiss. I hate that I still
have some homophobic tenden-
cies, but it still just seems so
weird to me.
And then I get to thinking
about love and rights; I think
about my times in medical treat-
ment and how much it means to
me to have my girlfriend there
and then I simply cant imagine
how anyone would try to take
those rights away.
I told my girlfriend Liz about
my immune deficiency and my
blood infusion treatments the day
after our very first date. I dont
know why. I wasnt in the habit of
telling people back then. I didnt
tell my close friends, I didnt tell
my teammates and I sure as hell
didnt tell thousands of news-
paper readers every week. My
health was my business, and if I
couldnt fight it on my own, then
I didnt deserve to be OK. But
Liz had the most beautiful, warm
smile and she held my hand like
I was someone to be cared for.
After just one date, I told her the
truth; that the only thing keeping
me out of the hospital again was
a weekly dose of someone elses
immunoglobulins. I wanted her
to know up-front what a pathetic,
disease-addled misfit I was, and
give her the chance to run off.
She didnt.
Instead, she visited me for
my very next treatment. I had
never let anyone see me so vul-
nerable. Hooked up to IVs with
baseball-sized welts on my back
and stomach, I felt like something
less than human. But Liz brought
me candy and watched TV with
me until my two-hour treatment
came to a close. With her by my
side, I knew no pain.
Shes been by my side for over
a year now; a year where Ive had
over 200 needles go into my body
and spent over 100 hours in infu-
sion therapy. Liz was there when
my two-hour treatments turned
into five-hour treatments. And
in spite of it all, I wouldnt trade
a single one of those hours to be
anywhere else, because with Liz
by my side, even the eerily sterile,
fluorescent-lit clinic seemed like
the right place to be.
We all deserve to have some-
one like her in our lives, regard-
less of gender. Someone who
still calls you handsome when
your eyes get puffy and theres
a bloodstain on your forearm.
Someone who doesnt believe
you when you say youre feel-
ing fine. Someone who treats
you like a human, not a patient.
We all deserve to be treated like
humans, regardless of sexual
orientation, race or gender, and
especially when we are at our
most vulnerable.
It was a sign of progress for
humanity when President Obama
mandated equal visitation rights
back in 2010. But those rights
continue to come under attack
every day. Even during the 2012
election, Governor Romney
claimed that the ability to be
there for your loved one in a time
of dire need is a privilege, not
a right. These battles for basic
human needs will not be met
until we have equality across the
board, from the operating room
to the chapel.
I complain a lot, but I know
how lucky I am. My five-hour
infusion treatments could just as
easily be five-hour chemotherapy
treatments. I have the full support
of my family and I have a girl
who makes me happy in my low-
est times. I simply cant imagine
being separated from my loved
ones in a life-or-death situation
because they arent considered a
traditional family. Because death
doesnt discriminate. And neither
does love. So why should we?
Why should I still be homopho-
bic? I can relate so easily to oth-
ers pain, others struggles. I can
write about them for days, but I
cant find the words to describe
how much I care about my loved
one. If I ever did, I wouldnt write
another sentence. Love cant be
boiled down to words on a page,
or on a marriage license or a leg-
islative bill. Its for everyone.

NEWPORT, R.I. If the Craw-
ley family of Downton Abbey
were American, theyd summer at
Newport.
Te wild stateside success of the
British period drama about post-
Edwardian aristocrats and their
live-in help has piqued interest in
the life of servants in the Gilded
Age mansions of the seaside city.
Te nations wealthiest families
built Newport cottages in the
19th and early 20th centuries and
would move their households here
servants, silver and all from
New York and elsewhere in the
summer to enjoy the ocean breezes
and society scene.
Just as the Downton servants de-
velop relationships downstairs
think the frustrated love triangle of
kitchen maids Daisy and Ivy with
footman Alfred servants in New-
port carried on a lively social scene
of their own. Many of their stories
have begun to emerge afer dig-
ging by researchers at the Newport
Preservation Society, which owns
several mansions. Newly discov-
ered photographs, documents and
family histories have inspired the
creation of a tour about servants in
one of Newports most picturesque
houses, Te Elms, becoming one of
the societys most popular tours.
Many mansions have been open
to the public for decades, but with a
focus on the wealthy families who
lived there. Newports grandest
mansion, Te Breakers, in recent
years incorporated some informa-
tion about servant life in its audio
tour. But the new guided tour at
Te Elms centers squarely on ser-
vants and allows visitors into rarely
seen parts of the mansion, includ-
ing servants quarters, the kitchen
and the massive boiler room, where
coal would be brought in through a
tunnel that goes under the garden
wall.
Meg A. Watt, a Downton fan
from Stroudsburg, Pa., took the
tour last spring, not long afer it be-
gan. Te owners side of the house is
opulent with marble and gold. Just
steps away, hidden behind doors,
are plain hallways and rooms for
use by the servants, she said.
It gives you a completely difer-
ent perspective, Watt said.
Te Crawleys own American
grandmama, played by Shirley
MacLaine, owns homes in New
York and Newport. Te city is even
mentioned on the show from time
to time, including by Lady Mary
Crawley, who considers feeing to
America to wait out a scandal in-
volving the death of a Turkish dip-
lomat in her bed.
Itll be dull but not uncomfort-
able, she remarks to her ladys
maid, Anna, who asks to come
with her.
Tey end up staying at Down-
ton Abbey. But if they had gone to
Newport, they might have found a
house much like Te Elms.
Census records from 1895 show
that around 10 percent of the pop-
ulation in Newport was domestic
servants. Director of museum af-
fairs at the mansions John Tsch-
irch said staf would have kitchen
ratchets, parties in the kitchens of
the diferent mansions, with food
galore.
Tats where all the gossip was,
he said. You think of a social sum-
mer resort, the stories the servants
could tell about each other, the
people in town, the fashion.
Much of the information has
come from servants relatives who
heard the Preservation Society
wanted to hear from anyone who
had lived or visited there, not just
the owners. Tschirch said all kinds
of family lore has surfaced, includ-
ing a story about the cook, Mrs.
Birch, whose fnger was clawed by
a lobster and had to be removed.
Te descendants, Tschirch
said, are beginning to feel that
these houses are part of their fam-
ily histories, too.

JOHANNESBURG Reeva
Steenkamps last wish for her fam-
ily before she was shot dead at boy-
friend Oscar Pistorius home was
for them to watch her in a reality
TV show that went on air in South
Africa on Saturday night, two days
afer her killing.
Sharon Steenkamp, Reevas
cousin, told Te Associated Press
that the model and law graduate
was proud of being in the show
and reminded them in their last
conversation to make sure that
they watched it.
Te South African Broadcasting
Corp. aired the Tropika Island of
Treasure program, showing the
late Steenkamp the victim of
a Valentines Day shooting at the
home of Pistorius, the Olympic
star and double-amputee athlete.
She is laughing and smiling, and
blowing a kiss toward the camera
in Jamaica when it was flmed last
year.
South Africans also saw her
swimming in the ocean and watch-
ing people jump of a clif and into
the sea, shaking her head as they
leaped.
SABC said it was dedicated
to Steenkamp and displayed the
words Reeva Steenkamp 19 Au-
gust 1983 - 14 February 2013
between images of a rose and a
candle in a short tribute before
the show aired. She was also seen
blowing the kiss as she sat on a Ja-
maican beach and her name again
appeared on screen with the years
of her birth and death.
Te country was rocked Turs-
day when news broke of Steen-
kamps shooting death at the
upscale house of the star athlete.
Pistorius was arrested and charged
with her murder and remains in
custody in a police station. His
family has strongly denied pros-
ecutors claims that he murdered
her.
Steenkamps family said earlier
Saturday that it had not been con-
tacted by either the SABC South
Africas national broadcaster or
the shows producers for permis-
sion to air it, but were not opposed
to it because Reeva wanted every-
one to see it.
Her last words to us personally
were that she wants us to watch it,
Sharon Steenkamp said, hours be-
fore the program was shown.
SABC aired the reality show on
its main channel, which promi-
nently featured Steenkamp.
Te shows executive producer,
Samantha Moon, said going ahead
with the show is what she would
have wanted.
Steenkamp, a 29-year-old
blonde model who graduated from
law school, died afer sufering
four gunshot wounds, police said.
Ofcers recovered a 9-mm pistol
from Pistorius house and quickly
charged the Olympian with mur-
der for Steenkamps killing.
Pistorius will appear in court
Tuesday for a bail hearing, some-
thing police have said they oppose.
Prosecutors also say they will pur-
sue upgraded charges of premedi-
tated murder against him, which
means the disabled icon and dou-
ble-amputee runner could face a
life sentence.
Portions released earlier Satur-
day of the reality show, sponsored
by a milk fruit drink, feature Steen-
kamp laughing and smiling on the
beaches of Jamaica. Another por-
tion shows her swimming with
two dolphins, which tap her on the
cheek with their snouts.
I think the way that you go
out, not just your journey in life,
but the way that you go out and
the way you make your exit is so
important, Steenkamp says in the
video. You either made an impact
in a positive or a negative way, but
just maintain integrity and main-
tain class and just remain true to
yourself.
Im going to miss you all so
much and I love you very, very
much.

Charlie Sheen donates money

miss america making return
to atlantic City this year
S
ince her hilarious supporting
turn in 2011s Bridesmaids,
Melissa McCarthy has
become nearly inescapable.
The first time this fact real-
ly hit home for me was last
December, during a screening of
Judd Apatows This is 40, when
the comedienne appeared as
Catherine, a short-tempered par-
ent who complains to the school
principal after Debbie (Leslie
Mann) makes an unfavorable
comparison between Catherines
towheaded, buck-toothed son and
musician Tom Petty. Its a throw-
away part, with perhaps eight
minutes of total screen time, but
McCarthy uses those eight min-
utes to practically walk away with
the movie, calling the attractive,
affluent Debbie and her husband,
Pete (Paul Rudd), a bullshit bank
commercial couple andthreaten-
ing to kick them both in the throat
for being ineffectual parents.
My enjoyment of that scene, and
the even funnier mid-credits gag
reel, was only diminished by the
fact that Id already seen McCarthy
twice that same evening, in trail-
ers for the now-released Identity
Thief, where McCarthy plays a
chipper, foulmouthed criminal
who steals Jason Batemans credit
card information, and director
Paul Feigs Bridesmaids follow-
up, The Heat, where she plays
a chipper, foulmouthed police-
woman who teams up with Sandra
Bullock, who plays a frazzled
FBI agent. I understand shes
also slated for a chipper, foul-
mouthed part in this Mays The
Hangover: Part III. Having suc-
cessfully defied expectations for a
heavyset woman in a thin-centric
industry, McCarthy must now
confront another Hollywood pit-
fall: the double threat of becom-
ing simultaneously typecast and
overexposed.
If this happens, shell be in good
company. Actors like Ben Stiller,
Julia Roberts, Adam Sandler,
Bruce Willis and Owen Wilson
have all been accused of playing
too many similar roles. Quick,
how many movies can you name
where Seth Rogen plays a love-
able stoner or Denzel Washington
calmly asserts himself as a profes-
sional badass? Some, like Mike
Myers, wallow in their gravy train
and gradually slide into irrele-
vance. Others, like Jude Law and
post-Lincoln Lawyer Matthew
McConaughey, break free of weak
material and obvious casting and
go on to explore richer veins of
character acting.
In the last few years, two dra-
matic actors have paved the way for
avoiding viewer fatigue by turning
in a wide array of diverse and
compelling performances. After
breaking into the mainstream
with a small role in Inglourious
Basterds and an incendiary turn
as young Magneto in X-Men:
First Class, Michael Fassbender
showcased his range as psycho-
analyst Carl Jung in A Dangerous
Method, a tortured sex addict in
Shame and a curious replicant
in last summers Prometheus.
Current Oscar nominee Jessica
Chastain also believes in never
repeating herself, having embod-
ied idealized motherhood in Tree
of Life only months before diving
into Zero Dark Thirty and the
mind of a CIA agent obsessed with
killing Osama bin Laden.
So, can McCarthy avoid falling
into the exposure trap? Her com-
edy bona fides are impressive, and
its not as if she materialized out
of nowhere. Before the success of
Bridesmaids, shed been quietly
paying her dues for the better part
of a decade on TV sitcoms like
Gilmore Girls and the still-run-
ning Mike & Molly. But it was
her wacky, winsome performance
as bridesmaid Megan that cata-
pulted her into the national spot-
light, earning her scores of ador-
ing (and incredibly protective)
fans. When New York Observer
film critic Rex Reed published a
review of Identity Thief describ-
ing McCarthy as a female hippo
and tractor-sized, McCarthys
online following descended to col-
lectively tear him a well-deserved
new one.
Reeds cruel and unprofessional
comments aside, Identity Thief
is a lazy, obnoxious belch of a
movie that represents the exact
sort of project McCarthy would
do well to avoid, although it does
allow her one scene where her
character Diana opens up to Sandy
(Bateman), explaining where she
comes from and why she has cho-
sen a life of crime.
In context, her tearful confes-
sion is completely out of sync with
the rest of the film and contributes
to its borderline nonsensical third
act. The same scene works beauti-
fully, however, when viewed as a
standalone piece, mostly because
of McCarthys worn-down vulner-
ability and her undeniable gift for
improvisation. Thats the Melissa
McCarthy I paid to see, and Id
love to see more of her in the
future.

MILWAUKEE Charlie Sheen
wired $10,000 to 15-year-old
Teagan Marti and her family on
Thursday for a therapy dog to help
in her rehabilitation from injuries
sustained when she plummeted
100 feet from a Wisconsin amuse-
ment park ride in 2010.
I think hes a very kind person
for helping me and my family
and very generous, Marti said by
phone from her home in Parkland,
Fla.
Marti suffered brain, spine, pel-
vis and internal injuries in July
2010 when nets and air bags that
catch riders on a free-fall ride
failed to rise. She convinced her
family to make the trip to Extreme
World in Wisconsin Dells after
seeing the ride, Terminal Velocity,
on the Travel Channel.
She was hospitalized in
Wisconsin and Florida for three
months. She initially had no use
of her arms or legs, but through
physical therapy can walk again
with the help of a walker.
Teagan Martis mother, Julie
Marti, said they are financially in
trouble from the medical bills and
insurance isnt covering physical
therapy anymore. She had no idea
how to pay for the English Golden
Retriever puppy.
Im in such disbelief, her
mother said. I was crying. ...
What a guy. What a guy.
The dog is trained to turn on
lights, pick up objects and be the
teens constant companion.
Lucia Wilgus, of Eau Claire,
Wisc., became friends with the
Martis after hearing of the acci-
dent. She has spearheaded fund-
raising and helped find the dog.
She sent a letter to Sheen
through Sheens godfather, who is
a Wilgus family friend. She esti-
mated the training and related
costs would be around $6,000.
Sheen said he decided to give
more for extra costs. The request
had a personal vibe since it
came through his godfather, and
if theres a need for more, I told
them to call me, he said.
I like to pay it forward, Sheen
said in a phone interview from
Los Angeles.
He said he doesnt like to pub-
licize most of his donations, but
wanted to talk about this one to
inspire others to donate.
Marti gets the dog on her birth-
day in September but hasnt made
up her mind on a name.
I think they should name the
dog Charlie, Sheen joked.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Miss
America, Atlantic Citys prodigal
pageant, is coming home after a
six-year fling in Las Vegas.
The pageant returns to where
it started 93 years ago and where
it was a fixture until 2006, when
organizers moved to Nevada in
hopes of attracting a younger TV
audience.
It was always my dream that
this would return here, said Art
McMaster, president and CEO of
the Miss America organization.
We are back to the city where
the Miss America pageant began,
where the Miss America pageant
was raised, and where the Miss
America pageant belongs.
Atlantic County Executive
Dennis Levinson, said having Miss
America anywhere but Atlantic
City just felt wrong.
Can anyone separate
the Mummers Parade from
Philadelphia, or the Rose Bowl
from Pasadena? he asked. Miss
America is Atlantic City, and shes
coming home.
New Jerseys lieutenant gov-
ernor, Kim Guadagno, made the
official announcement Thursday
morning inside Boardwalk Hall,
the historic arena in which the
pageant will take place during yet-
undetermined dates in September.
Guadagno said no taxpayer
money was part of the incentives
offered to lure Miss America back
to New Jersey. Liza Cartmell, presi-
dent of the Atlantic City Alliance,
said her casino-funded group is
among those providing financial
incentives, but would not say how
much it might contribute.
Guadagno and Cartmell said the
return of the pageant is expected
to generate at least $30 million
in economic activity for Atlantic
City and the surrounding region.
Cartmell said 6,000 to 7,000 people
associated with the pageant will
need hotel rooms, meals and other
expenditures during their time in
Atlantic City.

The Kansas womens golf team

hadnt played in a golf tournament
since the last week of October. In
the Jayhawks 2013 debut at the
Florida State University Match-Up
Tournament in Tallahassee this
weekend, it showed.
Kansas finished 10th in a
12-team field, only able to beat
out UNC Greensboro and UNC
Wilmington. The Jayhawks had
only two finishers in the top half of
the field, junior Meghan Potee and
freshman Yupaporn Kawinpakorn.
Potee finished T-18 with a three
round average of 75. Kawinpakorn
finished strong the last two days of
the tournament with a 74 and clos-
ing day 72, but neither of the efforts
were enough to lead Kansas to a
respectable finish.
Meghan [Potee] had a great
tournament finishing in the top
20; it was the best I have seen her
hit the ball in a long time, Kansas
coach Erin ONeil-Miller said.
Mook [Kawinpakorn] bounced
back after a tough first round and
played solid her last two days.
Kansas finished the tournament
at a +57 total, 44 strokes behind
tournament winner University of
Georgia.
It was a great event to be able
to compete against some of the top
teams in the country, ONeil Miller
said. You could definitely tell we
had not played in a tournament in
quite some time. We missed quite a
few shots, especially in the putting
game.
The Jayhawks concluded the first
day in 10th place and finished in
the same place after tying for ninth
with the University of Michigan at
the close of the second day.
The Jayhawks did improve their
team score each round, but that
wasnt enough to satisfy ONeil
Miller.
Looking at the results, we
could have definitely finished high-
er than we did, Miller said. We
did improve each round, but we
have the ability to play better. Well
regroup and get ready for the next
tournament.
They have a week to regroup
before they heads to Weston, Fla. to
participate in the Sir Pizza Terrapin
Challenge Feb. 25 and 26.
ESPN basketball analyst Jalen
Rose took some time after the
College Gameday taping on
Saturday to talk with the Kansan
about his many endeavors with the
worldwide leader in sports.

WHAts it bEEn likE bEing on
gAmEdAy for you tHis yEAr?
Its an exciting experience.
Being an alumnus of the University
of Michigan, I still follow the game
as much as the pros, so I was never
removed. Its a great opportunity
to work with Jay, Digger and Rece
to be in the gym. To hear the gym
shoes squeak and get closer to the
action and get to interact with the
players. Its a terrific opportunity.

tAlk A littlE bit About A
WEEk in tHE lifE of
JAlEn rosE.
Its a lot of hard work, a lot of
time energy and passion. You got
to be committed to it, but its what
I asked for. Im fortunate in our
society to work in my major, mass
communications.
Monday through Friday is
Numbers Never Lie, 2 p.m. east-
ern. On Numbers Never Lie Im
on there with Hugh Douglas and
Michael Smith and then on NBA
Countdown on with my child-
hood idol Magic Johnson, Michael
Wilbon and Bill Simmons and
thats been terrific.
I do a podcast with Grantland.
com, which has been terrific. Im
also going to be an insider writer
for ESPN.com as well once every
couple of weeks. Its what I want to
do, Im passionate about it and its a
lot of fun to stay current.

WHAts your fAvoritE pArt
About Working for
grAntlAnd?
My favorite part about the
Grantland pieces is that I can wear
a T-shirt and some shorts or what-
ever I want to wear and I can say
whatever I want to say. Without
any B-roll, without any filer, its like
Twitter in a 140 characters every
time I say something.
tAlk About tHE prEpArAtion
tHAt you put in for your
WEEkly commitmEnts.
I look at it like this: In the NBA
there are 30 teams. In the NCAA
theres over 30 conferences so you
really have to be on top of whats
current and whats not and play-
ers and coaches and conferences.
Whos leaving, whos staying. But
the good thing is its not like I talk
basketball one day and then rocket
science the other.
do you WAtcH A lot of film
to prEpArE for gAmEs?
I watched a lot of film. Ive
watched the last five games both
of these teams have played. Im
really familiar about all the players
and what theyre going to do in
close game situations. Im looking
for Kansas to do their trademark
dribble handoff. Its just what I love
to do and Im excited about it.
WHAt HAvE you tHougHt
About bEn mclEmorE from
WHAt youvE sEEn?
A very special talent, but the
key for that is even though we live
in a one-and-done era, you look
at the top teams in the country,
theres only one that leads the team
in scoring: Ben McLemore. I think
hes going to be a terrific pro pros-
pect, but all players have things
to work on. Im pretty sure the
coaching staff wants to see him get
down a little more on the defensive
end. Take leadership and account-
ability on that end. This team still
has what it takes to make a tourna-
ment run.
WHAts your first
imprEssion of mclEmorE As
A pErson And A plAyEr?
Hes not only a productive col-
lege player, I think he really has
what it takes to succeed at the next
level. Its all about work ethic and
improving and he has something
a lot of young players dont have
and thats a mid-range game. A lot
of players shoot the three or finish
over the top at the rim and to have
a mid range game is a valued trait.
WHAts it likE HAving
micHigAn bAck in tHE
nAtionAl spotligHt?
It means a lot when we win
our first 20 and the last team to
go undefeated. Not so much when
youve lost three of our last four,
but Im really excited that Michigan
basketball is back. Im proud we
have the best backcourt in the
country with Trey Burke and Tim
Hardaway Jr. Once we get Glen
Robinson III involved and Mitch
Mcgary involved, if that happens
theyll be just fine.

Jayhawks win in a
challenging road trip
Traveling to South Carolina
on business, the Kansas tennis
team did some good work over
the weekend. The Jayhawks flew
east to take on No. 67 College
of Charleston and Charleston
Southern. The team departed
with a 2-1 record and returned
home at 3-2.
Kansas got back to its winning
ways early Friday against Charles-
ton Southern. The Jayhawks won
all three of its doubles matches
against the Buccaneers.
Going into the weekend, Kan-
sas was not sure if its No. 1 singles
player, Haley Fournier, would be
able to play. However, when the
time came, she was willing and
able. Her only loss on the week-
end came in singles play against
College of Charlestons Christin
Newman (7-5, 6-2). Fournier
and freshman Anastasija Trubica
were 2-0 in doubles play.
Singles play was a major bright
spot on Friday as the Jayhawks
won five of the six matches. The
sole loss came from freshman
Maria Jose Cardona in a close
match to Marketa Placha (6-
2, 4-6, 1-0 (10-6). A tough loss
for Cardona, but her and Dylan
Windom have worked together
nicely in doubles. The duo is
3-1 with one match unfinished,
due to insufficient points against
College of Charleston 4-5, so far
this spring.
Saturday marked an oppor-
tunity for the Jayhawks as they
played No. 67 College of Charles-
ton. The Jayhawks had not
beaten an Intercollegiate Tennis
Association (ITA) ranked team
in dual play competition since
2011, and after suffering a 4-3
loss at the hands of the Cougars
the drought continues. Kansas
won two of the three doubles
matches, but then a sticky wicket
pinned Kansas into singles play
against the Cougars and, unfor-
tunately for Kansas, the Cougars
feasted on the Jayhawks taking
four of the six matches.
The two singles victories were
notched by Paulina Los and Tru-
bica. Saturday was the fourth
match this season in which Los
didnt lose. She has won both
her singles and doubles matches
in every outing save, at the time,
No. 23 Tulsa.
Even though Kansas only man-
aged one win on its trip, coach
Amy Hall-Holt is optimistic
about her team. She doesnt like
losing, but is pleased with how
hard her team is fighting to be
in a winning position down the
stretch of matches.

Kansas coach Bill Self talks to ESPNs Jalen Rose during a segment at College gameDay on Saturday in allen fieldhouse. Rose
is one of three analysts on the College gameDay show. He is also a contributer to grantland.com.
A
s evidenced by the litany of NBA
players at the Kansas victory over
Texas, the NBA has reached its All-
Star weekend. Tis is exciting to NBA play-
ers for two reasons. First, they get time of
to spend with their families and take a much
-needed rest. Second and more importantly,
journalists release their coveted midseason
awards. Without further ado, here are the
University Daily Kansan NBA Midseason
Awards.
Most Valuable Player:
LeBron James, Miami Heat
Who else could win
this award? James has the
luxury of being surrounded
by immense talent, but that
does not discount that his
statistics have been unreal.
Trough six consecu-
tive games, James scored
more than 30 points and
shot more than 60 percent from the feld.
Tese kind of numbers elevate him to a level
few have reached before. His efciency is of
the charts, and he is developing a 3-pointer.
Tis is very bad news for other teams that
do not want to see the Heat repeat.

Rookie of the Year:
Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers
With Anthony Davis suf-
fering from ankle problems
and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
sufering from the disease
that is playing for the Char-
lotte Bobcats, Lillard is a
shoe-in here. Many were
uncertain whether Lil-
lards skills would trans-
late from tiny Weber State University to the
NBA, but his 18.3 points and 6.5 assists per
game dispelled any of those notions. Lillard
has the quickness to get around defenders
and the toughness to fnish in trafc, and he
will only get better.
Coach of the Year:
Gregg Popovich, San Antonio Spurs
Gregg Popovich
marched into Miami
without Tony Parker, Manu
Ginobili and Tim Duncan,
played the Heat to within
fve points, and angered
NBA overlord David
Stern in the process.
Tese facts alone should
win him Coach of the Year. However, its
the fact that Popovich could start the cast
from Te Big Bang Teory and have them
competing that solidifes his spot here. Ev-
ery year, experts think the Spurs are going to
regress, and every year, Popovich has them
moving forward.

Surprise Team:
Chicago Bulls
Derrick Rose is so fast, if he were in
the Looney Tunes, wed all be enjoying a
nice Roadrunner bufet right now. And
somehow, the Bulls have managed to go
30-22 without him, good for ffh in the
Eastern Conference. Tis year was seen as
a lost year without Rose, but if he can make
it back for the playofs, the Bulls will be a
very tough matchup for the elite teams. If
he doesnt, the Bulls can be proud that they
overachieved this year and can come back
even stronger next year.

Most Disappointing Team:
Los Angeles Lakers
If I wrote about any team other than the
Lakers, I would be demoted to covering the
pickup basketball games behind McCollum
Hall. Te Lakers have been nothing but a
disaster this season. If Karl Rove and Paris
Hilton went out on a date, they would have
more chemistry within fve minutes than
the Lakers have had all season. Tis was
the team that was expected to challenge the
Miami Heat for a title, but instead, they look
more and more like a lottery team every day.

Strong offensive play lifted the
Jayhawks to a 3-1 record at the Tiger
Invitational.
The Jayhawks are 7-2 on the sea-
son after the invitational this week-
end. Kansas rolled to victories against
Indiana State and the University of
Tennessee Chattanooga on Friday.
They beat Indiana State 8-0 and
Tennessee Chattanooga 6-1. The
Jayhawks used key hits and six com-
bined errors from their opponents
to float through the first day of the
tournament unscathed.
The second day of the tourna-
ment proved to be more difficult
for the Jayhawks. The Jayhawks fell
to Auburn 8-5. The Jayhawks came
out strong against Auburn and held
the lead for most of the game before
Auburn erupted for a five-run sixth
inning and held the lead the rest of
the game.
Kansas coach Megan Smith said
the team came out strong but let up,
and a good team like Auburn will
take advantage of that. Smith said
the Jayhawks can not take innings
off against a team like Auburn, or
they will lose.
For the first five innings, we
attacked the game and attacked
Auburn, Smith said. Then for some
reason, we werent consistent with
that, and we kind of backed off a
little bit and gave Auburn a chance
to come back in. When you give
good teams a chance like that, they
are going to attack it and pounce on
it, and thats what they did.
The Jayhawks rebounded against
Bryant University in a big way by
scoring a 10-2 run-rule victory. The
Jayhawks screamed out to a 7-0 lead
after three innings. The Bulldogs
rallied to score two runs in the top
of the fifth, but the Jayhawks scored
three in the bottom of the fifth to
grab the run-rule victory.
Three (wins) and one (loss) is
great for the weekend, Smith said.
We had some really bright spots,
but we need to work on our overall
consistency and our overall demean-
or on how we attack the game. We
were a little bit up and down this
weekend.
This weekend was another big
weekend for reigning Big 12 bat-
ting champ Maggie Hull. She led
the Jayhawks with five RBIs over the
weekend. Hull said this years expec-
tations for the team are a lot higher
because there is a lot more talent on
the team. Hull said they are happy to
be 7-2 on the season, but at the same
time, both of the games they lost
were games she thinks the Jayhawks
could have won and should have
won.
Every time Im at the plate, my
goal is to get on base, whether it is
getting a hit or being walked, Hull
said. Its easy to focus on the times
I did well, but I try to focus on times
I didnt execute and figure out the
reason why.
This weekend also included soph-
omore Alicia Pilles third victory and
second complete game on the sea-
son. Pille said strength training and
the new pitching coach have been
big reasons for her success, but there
is always room for improvement.
With the new players that we
brought in, there are a lot more runs
on the board, and our defense has
been stellar, which just makes my job
that much easier, Pille said.
Kansas coach Ritch Price knows
the power of solid weekend pitch-
ing, the kind with an edge that
shows itself in every at-bat against
Big 12-caliber lineups.
That pitching edge was appar-
ent again in game three of the
Jayhawks weekend series against
the Nevada Wolf Pack in Mesa,
Ariz. In a 6-3 victory, Kansas pitch-
ers gave up two earned runs on 12
hits, a credit to both pitching and
defense.
Its definitely the strength of our
team, Price said. We have good
starting pitching and on top of that
were really solid in the bullpen.
One great thing about pitching is
it comes to the ballpark every day.
Some days you arent gonna hit, but
if you pitch everyday youre going
to have a chance to win.
Down 3-2 in the bottom of
the seventh inning, the Jayhawks
again manufactured a solid offen-
sive inning. The Jayhawks three-
run burst started as Dakota Smith
scored on a sac fly from Kaiana
Eldredge. Kevin Kuntz then hit an
RBI single scoring Michael Suiter,
and Jordan Dreiling singled to
right field to score Jacob Boylan
and cap the Jayhawks scoring.
I think its just everyone not
wanting to give up an at bat,
said senior third-baseman Jordan
Dreiling. No one wants to give
up an at-bat. Especially, with run-
ners in scoring position. You really
step in the box wanting to get the
job done. So far its working out
for us.
Kansas is making its offensive
living with this station-to-station
approach to the plate. The Jayhawks
struck out once in Sundays game,
leaving four runners on base.
Its always nice to back up start-
ing pitching like we did, Dreiling
said. We gave them that extra fight
late in the games. When Wes goes
out and pitches as well as he did,
its on us hitters to go out and fin-
ish the job.
The Kansas bullpen also played
a large role in finishing the job.
After entering in the final two
innings, junior relief pitcher Jordan
Piche closed the game and earned
the win for the Jayhawks, giving
up three hits and recording two
strikeouts.
Hes special, Price said. Thats
the role we see him in. We arent
gonna use him as just a one-inning
close guy like they do in the Major
League level. Were going to bring
him in the seventh and eighth
innings and let him close out games
and use Kahana the next day.
Over the weekend, The Jayhawks
defensive progression appeared
obvious in the comeback victories
of games one and three. The defen-
sive intensity of coach Prices team
doesnt surprise many within the
program.
As a team, weve prepared as
well as we could, Dreiling said.
Going to the Dominican, weve
got as many reps as we can and I
think everyone is keeping up their
work ethic and its paying off.
Price echoed Dreilings senti-
ment.
The comebacks really show
the progress that our young hitters
have made from a year ago, Price
said. The come-from-behind win
was something we didnt really do a
year ago. I think it shows the prog-
ress of the team as a whole.
The Jayhawks senior start-
ing pitcher Tanner Poppe takes
the mound in game four with the
opportunity to secure a 3-1 series
win over the Wolf Pack. First pitch
is Monday at 1 p.m. from Hohokam
Ballpark in Mesa, Ariz.

Despite inconsistency, Kansas racks
up three victories at tiger Invitational
strong pitching key to weekend wins
PALM CITY, Fla. President
Barack Obama played golf Sun-
day with Tiger Woods, the White
House said.
Once the sports dominant
player before his career was
sidetracked by scandal, Woods
joined Obama at the Floridian, a
secluded and exclusive yacht and
golf club on Floridas Treasure
Coast where Obama is spending
the long Presidents Day weekend.
Te two had met before, but Sun-
day was the frst time they played
together.
Te White House, which has
promised to be the most open
and transparent in history, pro-
hibited any media coverage of
Obamas golf outing.
Te foursome also included
Jim Crane, a Houston business-
man who owns the Floridian and
baseballs Houston Astros, and
outgoing U.S. Trade Representa-
tive Ron Kirk, a former mayor of
Dallas, said White House spokes-
man Josh Earnest.
Obama, an avid golfer, also re-
ceived some instruction Saturday
and played a few holes with Butch
Harmon, Woods former swing
coach.
Initial word that the First Duf-
fer would play a round with the
worlds No. 2 player didnt come
from the White House, but in-
stead came from veteran golf
journalist Tim Rosaforte, who
announced it on Twitter. Rosa-
fortes late-morning tweet said:
Te president is arriving at the
Floridian range. Awaiting is Ti-
ger Woods and club owner Jim
Crane. Historic day in golf. Teir
frst round.
White House
conf irmation
of Woods
parti cipati on
came about
two hours later,
following mul-
tiple appeals
from traveling
White House reporters.
Golf Digest reported on its
website that Obama spent eight
hours Saturday with Harmon,
playing 27 holes and hitting balls
in Harmons studio, and then
managed to coordinate Sundays
round with Woods. Te report
said the original plan called for
Obama and Woods, a Florida
resident, to play at Woods home
club Te Medalist Golf Club,
a half-hour away in Hobe Sound.
But they eventually opted for the
Floridian.
Woods departed afer the frst
18 holes, with Obama staying on
to play another nine, the report
said.
Just to see the interaction be-
tween the two on the range was
pretty neat, Harmon told Golf
Digest. Te President said to
Tiger: Te last tournament you
played was fun to watch. Its good
to see you play well again. You
could tell he meant it. It just wasnt
a throw it out compliment.
It seems Obama and Woods
the frst black men at the top
of their respective felds have
spent the past few years inching
toward Sundays
meeting on the
fairway.
Tey met in
January 2009,
during Obamas
i na ug ur a t i on
in Washington.
Tree months
later, in April,
Woods visited the White House
and Obama received him in the
Oval Ofce.
Woods personal life imploded
later in 2009 afer revelations that
he had engaged in multiple extra-
marital afairs, leading to divorce.
He followed with a public apol-
ogy and announced he was tak-
ing an indefnite break from golf.
Shortly afer Woods announced
he was coming out of seclusion,
Obama said in an interview with
Fox News Channel that Woods
will still be a terrifc golfer de-
spite his personal issues.
Afer returning to the sport,
Woods went two years without
winning, but his game is back on
track and he currently is ranked
No. 2 in the world. Woods won
the last tournament he played,
three weeks ago in San Diego.

Game to remember
When Justin (Wesley) kind of forced us to do it, it
turned into us having so much energy yesterday. and then
we went into practice, it just carried over. We just started
to realize theres not too much time left. enjoy it. Right
now its something that we could look back on and say
when we was going through a bad time this is when it

Heading into the Kansas
Jayhawks matchup with Texas,
it was well known that Mario
Chalmers was going to be cele-
brated.
There was his freshly printed
banner waiting to be unveiled in
the rafters, numerous replays of
his miracle shot from 2008 and a
standing ovation from the crowd
when he took the court to receive
his halftime tribute.
Even Travis Releford got into the
act, connecting on back-to-back
3-pointers to open the scoring for
Kansas in its 73-47 victory over
Texas.
Yet, on a night when Kansas
honored one of its greatest
shooters of all time, it was the
Jayhawks defense that awed Allen
Fieldhouse.
I felt like both halves, we did a
great job of making them uncom-
fortable, Releford said after the
game. We were great.
Uncomfortable meant that
of the 55 shots tossed up by the
Longhorns, only 12 sailed through
the net.
Not even the return of agile point
guard Myck Kabongo could lift
Texas from the cloud of Jayhawks.
The Longhorns tallied just three
assists to Kansas 15.
Still, nothing was more telling of
the defensive stance than midway
through the second half when the
Jayhawks forced Texas into consec-
utive shot clock violations a new
sight for Kansas coach Bill Self.
I dont know if Ive ever seen
that, Self said. Were fairly active
til it gets down to 10 seconds, and
were solid then. We dont take
chances. A shot clock violation is
about as good as we can do.
It also helps to have 7-foot Jeff
Withey guarding the paint.
Frustration sets in on other
teams when they know they
cant shoot a regular shot, Elijah
Johnson said of Witheys defense.
Youve got to detour it all the time.
You cant practice for that.
Teams also cant practice for
what Withey can do if a shot does
get off near him. He solidified that
notion by setting the all-time Big 12
blocks record (265) in the second
half, surpassing former Longhorn
Chris Mihm.
It was Witheys 100th block on
the season.
As much as Texas coach Rick
Barnes was willing to praise Kansas
for its ability to shut down his
offense, there were issues with the
Longhorns that even he cant fix.
You cant coach making shots,
Barnes said. Guys have to make
them. We missed a lot of shots.
And as has been the case all
season when the group is execut-
ing on the back end, the Jayhawks
defense led to a furious offense, the
kind that saw four of its starters
combine for 55 points.
Most noticeable was the play
of Elijah Johnson, who had been
struggling of late. The senior had
one turnover, four assists and 12
points.
The confidence he had been
lacking seemed to return all at
once, as Johnson was able to drive
the lane, finish at the rim and wait
for the play to develop instead of
forcing it.
Or as he put it, tonight, basket-
ball was just natural.
When youre having fun, you
dont have to listen to the scout-
ing report, Johnson said. When
youre having fun, you dont have
to know the plays. When youre
having fun, youve just got to go out
there and play.
And when youre having fun,
you take off on a breakaway for a
360-degree dunk or maybe thats
just when Ben McLemore is having
fun, like he did late in the game to
drain whatever life was still left in
the Longhorns.
Either way, it wasnt the buckets
from Kansas that turned Saturday
night into a blowout. It was the lack
of them from Texas.
We guarded great, Self said.
We went after the ball soft, but we
certainly werent soft with our first-
shot defense.

Te personal accolades con-
tinue to pile up for senior point
guard Angel Goodrich. First, it
was being named an All-American.
Ten, it was being named a John R.
Wooden Award Midseason Top 20
fnalist. Next, it was scoring 1,000
points and becoming the 26th Kan-
sas Jayhawk to do so.
Now, she has her name on top of
the mantle all point guards strive
for: assists.
Sunday afernoon against the
No. 22-ranked Oklahoma Sooners,
Goodrich became the Jayhawks
all-time leader in assists as she
dished out her 687th career pass to
take over the top.
When the horn went of, that
was the frst best moment, Kan-
sas coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
But the second best, she goes, I
did what? What did I do? Tats
the second best moment. Tat is
who that kid has been since I saw
her as an eighth-grader. Shes done
exactly what I thought she could do
in this league and at this level. Its
exactly what I thought she could do
for our program.
Goodrich passed the likes of
Ivana Catic, Erica Hallman, Lynette
Woodard and fnally Lisa Braddy
on her way to claim the all-time as-
sist leader honor.
Oklahoma coach Sherri Co-
ale had nothing but praise for the
Oklahoma native and said Goo-
drich had the supporting cast to
make the climb to the top possible.
Any time someone puts up
an assist record, that means you
have some people around you that
are fnishing baskets, Coale said.
And shes had that. Shes been ex-
actly what I thought shed be in
this league. I knew shed be a great
player in this league.
Goodrich said she never envi-
sioned her career panning out the
way it has and looks at what her
coach and opposing coaches say
about her as the highest compli-
ments a player can receive.
For them to come and say that
about me, about the player that I
am, its an honor, Goodrich said.
Goodrich had 17 points and 10
assists in the 81-71 victory over the
Sooners. Te last assist came on the
last bucket of the game as Goodrich
threw a pass up to junior guard
CeCe Harper on the fast break.
Senior forward Carolyn Davis
has played with Goodrich for four
years and has been on the receiving
end of numerous passes inside for
a bucket. She said its been great to
have someone like Goodrich who
can set things up and make life
easier for her.
We joke that I feel like I should
get some credit because, you know,
Im scoring a lot of those baskets
for her, Davis said. But its great;
shes a great point guard. We all
know shes one of the greatest in
the country, and it really shows
right now.
Earlier in the year when Goo-
drich became the 26th Jayhawk
to score 1,000 points, she said she
was disappointed that her family
couldnt be there to celebrate with
her. But on the day she became the
all-time leader in assists, her family
was sitting just past half court.
Goodrich said she didnt know
she was even close to the record
and didnt know she had it until
the announcer said it over the loud
speakers in Allen Fieldhouse. But
when she found out, she put on a
big smile and pointed to her family
as a show of appreciation.
I havent played a good game
while theyve been here in a while,
Goodrich said. For me to come
out and play the way I played, it
feels awesome.
Goodrich has become one of
the leaders of the Jayhawks despite
her sof-spoken nature. Henrick-
son said she couldnt be prouder
of Goodrich for accomplishing
something as big as becoming the
all-time assist leader.
I couldnt be happier for her
and for her family, who made a sac-
rifce for her to come this far, Hen-
rickson said. For her teammates,
who have so much respect for her,
theyve really appreciated and en-
joyed her success. Its who I thought
she could be. She has a gif.

Revisit the
womens
victory over
Oklahoma
It was a special night in the
Fieldhouse with Mario Chalmers
number rising into the rafters.
The arena showed off a blend
of old and new schools in Kansas
73-47 victory over Texas.
Chalmers walked onto Naismith
court at halftime and gave a well-
thought out speech to the sellout
crowd just after the cord had been
pulled to reveal his jersey.
On the other hand the videos
scrolled across the board hang-
ing over the court with booming
sounds blasting out of the speakers
exciting the student section and
possibly the recruits sitting in the
stands.
And for the most part the game
on the floor did not match the inten-
sity surrounding it. Kansas cruised
to a comfortable lead thanks to its
defense and the Longhorns inabil-
ity to knock down open shots.
That all changed when fresh-
man guard Ben McLemore made
a whirlwind 360 dunk with 4:11
remaining, raising the Kansas fans
out of their seats before driving
home for the night.
I didnt think he was going to
try to do that, Kansas coach Bill
Self said. He slowed down to go
off too, and I was like What is he
doing, and then he did it.
Although McLemores highlight
slam rivaled the performances of
the pros in the slam dunk com-
petition in the NBA, the much
improved play by senior Elijah
Johnson kept Kansas in the free
flowing momentum they showed
against Kansas State last Monday.
When youre having fun you
dont have to listen to the scout-
ing report, Johnson said. When
youre having fun you dont have
to know the plays. When youre
having fun you dont have to know
nothing. You just have to go out
there and play and thats what were
doing right now were just playing.
Johnson had one of his better
nights in recent weeks, scoring
with 13 points while also grabbing
five boards and dishing out three
assists. Most importantly, Johnson
limited himself to a single turnover
for the evening.
What also might have helped
Johnson was the return of Chalmers
and the other current and former
NBA players in town because of
All-Star weekend.
Still Johnson knows he can rely
on all his former teammates as he
went through his struggles.
Mario doesnt have to be here
to talk, Johnson said. Hell text
me and let me know what theyre
thinking. I feel like having all those
guys around brought energy. It just
comes along with it. Its a good
feeling that shoots through your
body.
Another milestone moment
reached tonight for Kansas came
when senior center Jeff Withey sur-
passed Texas Chris Mihm for the
Big 12 blocks record with the 265th
block of his career.
I put a lot of hard work into
getting it, Withey said. I have a
lot more games to play so hope-
fully I can add something to it and
make sure it doesnt get touched for
20-something years.
Withey also put together his
ninth double-double of the season
with 15 points and 11 rebounds to
go along with his two blocks.
The other leading scorer for
the Jayhawks was senior Travis
Releford who knocked down four
of his five 3-point attempts on the
night while also helping to lead the
team to one of its better defensive
efforts of the season.
The Longhorns made 12 shots
and shot 21.8 percent for the night.
It was one of those good solid
games, nothing special, but one of
those game we are happy get a win,
Self said.
Now the Jayhawks focus turns
to a crucial matchup against
Oklahoma State on Wednesday
night, a game where their best effort
will be needed to avenge their lone
home loss of the season.
We put ourselves in a very tough
position knowing theres very little
margin for error, but the guys usu-
ally respond favorably when the
stage is pretty bright, Self said.
GeOrGe mullinix/Kansan
The student body in full force for esPns College GameDay throws shredded newspaper before saturdays tipoff against the Texas longhorns at allen Fieldhouse.
Senior leadership carried the
Kansas womens basketball team
to an 81-71 victory over No.
22 ranked Oklahoma at Allen
Fieldhouse on Sunday.
The three seniors, Angel
Goodrich, Monica Engelman,
and Carolyn Davis, combined
for 62 of the Jayhawks 81 points,
and it was the second consecu-
tive game in which Engelman
has scored over 20 points.
It has become a theme that
in each of Kansas most recent
wins, going back to the victory
over Iowa State, the seniors have
acted as leaders and played like
veterans.
Theres poise and compo-
sure, Kansas coach Bonnie
Henrickson said. Theres a sense
of calm, not without a heartbeat,
but their huddles are tighter,
their voices are louder.
As Henrickson said, when
Oklahoma made a second half
run and cut the lead to single
digits, it was Angel Goodrich
who had the answer. Goodrich
and Engelman were able to
get the ball to Davis and make
important free throws.
The lead was seven points,
the closest it was in the second
half, with 5:33 left in the half
when Davis began demanding
the ball. Oklahoma was right in
the middle of making a second
half run that seemed inevitable,
but Davis caught the ball in the
post, turned and scored.
I felt like we were slowing
up, Davis said. We had to keep
pushing the tempo. We had to
keep attacking. We couldnt let
up. I was trying to get my team-
mates to be more aggressive. I
knew I had to take over as a
senior, as a captain. I just tried
to push my teammates to give
me the ball.
Davis and her teammates
are familiar with fighting back
from double-digit margins in the
second half as they did against
TCU and Iowa State, but against
Oklahoma on Sunday it was
the Jayhawks trying to hold off
Oklahomas run. Herickson and
Davis both agreed that those
situations gave them a lesson of
how to handle the lead.
Henrickson said she made
sure her team knew not to start
playing not to lose, though she
said she did not use those words
as she spoke to them during a
second half timeout.
Dont you dare stop being
aggressive, Henrickson told
them in the huddle. Dont you
dare start standing around and
watching Angel and Carolyn
play.
In the end, Davis had 24 points
and 10 rebounds, Engelman had
21 points and five rebounds, and
Goodrich had 17 points and 10
assists.
Sophomore Chelsea Gardner
also contributed 10 points and
nine rebounds in the game.
The win is the second this
season for the Jayhawks over a
team ranked in the AP top-25
poll, and gives them a winning
record in conference play at 7-6.
Kansas still sits at sixth in the
conference standings.

W
hat a weekend.
The Kansas mens bas-
ketball team demolished
the Texas Longhorns with a 26-point
victory on College GameDay.
Former Kansas great Mario
Chalmers stood at center court in
front of fans and former players like
Nick Collison, Wayne Simien and
Thomas Robinson, and watched his
jersey hang in the rafters of Allen
Fieldhouse.
Freshman guard Ben McLemore
slammed a 360 degree dunk. Senior
center Jeff Withey passed Texas Chris
Mihm as the Big 12s all-time blocked
shots leader.
The Jayhawks have their swagger
back.
Offense finally started to click,
defense smothered the Longhorns
and the determination for Kansas
ninth straight Big 12 title was back.
Even though the Jayhawks are back
in sync, they still have a tough chal-
lenge ahead.
As many know, the Big 12 cur-
rently has a three-way tie first place
among Kansas, Kansas State and
Oklahoma State.
Kansas sits ahead of the other two
programs, but the Jayhawks have the
hardest remaining schedule.
Sure, home games against TCU,
West Virginia and Texas Tech arent
alarming, but the three away games
are a big concern.
On Wednesday, the Jayhawks
travels to No. 17 Oklahoma State to
avenge a home loss that snapped a
33-game winning streak.
Five days later, the squad travels to
Ames, Iowa to face Iowa State in the
Hilton Magic. No team this year has
gone to Hilton Coliseum and left with
a victory.
Then, to finish the regular season,
the Jayhawks head south to take on
Baylor, a team that is always danger-
ous with the talent that the Bears
possess.
Thats quite the road trip, especial-
ly when you compare the Jayhawks
schedule to the other two schools.
After beating Baylor by 20 points,
the Kansas State Wildcats have West
Virginia, Texas Tech and TCU at
home. The three road games left are
Texas, Baylor and Oklahoma State,
which could be trouble, but the
Wildcats have won against all of those
teams.
Oklahoma State is peaking at the
right time, winning seven straight
games. The Cowboys do travel to
Iowa State, but all of the tough games
are at home, which gives Oklahoma
State an advantage over Kansas State
and Kansas.
Keep in mind that Kansas hasnt
been the best road team in the Big 12.
Besides winning against Ohio State
and Texas Tech, Kansas largest vic-
tory was by five points against Texas
and West Virginia.
Still, this isnt something new to
Kansas basketball.
Last year, the Jayhawks had to
battle at Kansas State, Texas A&M
and Oklahoma State to finish out the
season.
On the bright side, tough stretches
of games like this can prepare the
Jayhawks for a great NCAA tour-
nament run. The mental toughness
builds in this stretch.
If Kansas wants to win its ninth
straight Big 12 title, the Jayhawks have
no choice but to win these games. If
the Jayhawks lose one game, they will
have to hope for a loss to keep them in
the running for the conference title.
