RoTC
Tradition shapes annual Dining-in for cadets
MerediTh chaiT
mchait@kansan.com
The KU Army ROTC cadets
came up one by one. After four
salutes, one facing each direction,
they bowed to the gold toilet. With
a smirk on their faces, they drank
the grog, a liquid with hot sauce,
syrup and a sweaty T-shirt in it,
among other things. Then, they
put the empty
cups on their
heads to show
there was noth-
ing left.
Only a select
few cadets had
to drink it, ones
that broke the
rules of the eve-
ning. These rules
included not
being too loud, not standing up
when a lady sits down or stands
up from the table and not being in
regulation uniform. Some cadets
like senior Sarah Meyer have never
had to drink the grog, while some
cadets seem to break these rules
every year.
This is Dining-in, a night once
a year, steeped in tradition. It is
filled with friendly tattling, drink-
ing the grog and camaraderie.
Even though every cadet seemed
to want to be doing something else
on a Friday night, especially not
drinking the grog, there was a
sense of brotherhood you could
feel in the room.
It was apparent when everyone
sang the army song at the top
of their lungs or when everyone
laughed as each class made fun
of the commanding staff in skits.
Even when
someone had to
drink the grog,
they seemed to
enjoy doing it,
something that
their fellow
cadets had also
done and that
other cadets
respected them
for doing.
I feel like [drinking the grog]
was unfortunate, but it was for the
sake of everybody, and it wasnt
me, so I am OK with it, said
Cadet Kendall Gregg, a sopho-
more that has never had to drink
the grog.
Some Dining-in traditions
seemed to be nothing more than
requirements. There were long
speeches and toasts to different
people of the army, for example,
the commander in chief. It seemed
that the whole night was scripted,
from what the cadets said in the
speeches and toasts to the order
of events.
However, one event was not
scripted, the drinking of the grog.
This was the part that the cadets
were waiting for. When the grog
event started, all the cadets loos-
ened up and started to relax.
The whole night brought the
cadets closer together: the tradi-
tions, the ridged script followed
and the sometimes-boring parts
of the three hour dinner. But, the
grog made them comrades. The
select few that drank the grog had
bragging rights for the rest of their
time at the University; while oth-
ers had bragging rights for getting
by another year without having to
drink it.

University Law students to compete abroad
Joining Harvard, American and
Queens Universities, four School
of Law graduate students will rep-
resent the University of Kansas in
Geneva next month.
Its no more of a surprise [to
see KU Law listed amongst these
prestigious universities] than it
should be to see Kansas Jayhawks
in the final four of the NCAA
tournament, said Raj Bhala, an
Associate Dean with the School of
Law. Were a darn good law school
and have a darn good international
and comparative law program.
Bruno Sames, Ryan Thornton,
Jade Martin and Matthew ONeill
qualified as semifinalists in the All
America Regional Round of the
European Law Students Association
Moot Court Competition in
Escaz, Costa Rica.
Pretty much all of Christmas
break and January was spent writ-
ing our briefs and doing initial
research, Martin
said. We had 15
practice rounds
and, after each,
we discussed what
our pros and cons
were.
After placing fifth
of 54 two-person
teams in last years
School of Laws in-
house competition,
partners Sames
and Thornton quali-
fied to represent the University at a
national or international competi-
tion of their choice. Both interested
in international trade and finance,
the two selected the ELSA Moot
Court Competition and reached
out to Martin and ONeill to create
the four-man team.
The competition takes the format
of a World Trade
Organization dis-
pute settlement
mock hearing.
Orally debating
before a panel of
judges including
former U.S. trade
representatives,
World Trade
Or g a ni z a t i on
members and
well-known trade
attorneys, the
team advanced to place as semi-
finalist.
It was maybe intimidating at
first but during it, we realized
that we were prepared enough to
answer questions from the judges
that were very qualified, Sames
said. It was really nice to have
that level of questioningit really
helped us hone in our arguments
and see what we need to focus on
as we move on to the world finals.
The international finals is a
return trip for the Jayhawks, as the
2009 KU Law team traveled to the
international finals in Taiwan. The
School of Law sponsors both travel
and competition entry expenses.
Success at these competitions
enhances our global name brand
and thereby opens doors for our
students to get jobs around the
world and encourages prospective
law students to come to KU, Bhala
said. It also opens doors for our
faculty to enter into research and
teaching and moot court collabora-
tion with international schools.
This years competition dealt
with reforms and emergency
majors made during economic cri-
sis, including guaranteeing domes-
tic, commercial bank deposits like
in Germany and theoretical cur-
rency devaluation created by using
two currency exchange rates. The
team debates three members at a
time, each arguing for and against
an action and possible responses.
We are focusing on shoring\-
have prepared, Sames said. And
assessing our style of argument to
be better received by the European
panel.
The team will travel to Geneva
to compete against 20 other top
teams in the international finals
April 30 through May 5.

Student Senate coalitions fnalize platforms
FoLLow
@UDK_nEws on
TwiTTEr
corrEcTIon
The final platforms for both
Student Sen-
ate campaign
c o a l i t i o ns
Ad Astra and
KUnitedhave
been released.
These releases
come in prepa-
ration for the
upcoming elec-
tion, which will
occur April 10
and 11. Both
coalitions have
both released
a total of 12
platforms each
during the
campaign.
KUnited an-
nounced Tuesday via their face-
book page two additional plat-
forms.
1. Hawks Helping Hawks
KUnited pledged to work with
KU Endowment and KU Alumni
Association to create a student
led fund campaign for students in
financial need who meet certain
academic and verification crite-
ria.
We are modeling this after the
very successful K-State Proud
at KSU, said Brandon Woodard,
a senior from Topeka and KUnit-
eds 2013 presidential candidate.
KUnited feels that its extremely
important for students to have
the opportunity help make the
lives of other Jayhawks easier.
2. Surveying Students to Iden-
tify New Initiatives
KUnited said it will use the
summer months and the Student
Survey Board to generate at least
two additional initiatives to ex-
pand its platforms beyond the
campaign season. Woodard said
the Student Survey Board was
established this past fall, and is
still in the process of being estab-
lished.
We would ensure the use of
this board to gauge the opinion of
the student body to help us when
making important decisions on
their behalf, Woodard said.
Ad Astra released four addi-
tional platforms via their twitter
account Tuesday.
1. Increase Student Input in
Housing
Due to the underutilization of
housing boards in recent years,
Ad Astra said it would create
more boards composed of resi-
dents, RAs, and student housing
employees. The initiative cited
the importance of housing to a
students University experience,
and aims to increase the amount
of student input within Housing.
2. Reducing Plastic Bags
In order to make the University
a more environmentally friendly
campus, Ad Astra said it will co-
operate with the Office of Sus-
tainability to reduce the number
of plastic bags used on campus.
3. Election Reform
Citing how a single-party stu-
dent political system disengages
students, Ad Astra said it would
implement campaign spending
caps, a shortened election season,
and a transparent candidate nom-
ination process.
4. Prioritizing Student Health
KU has the most heavily stu-
dent-utilized campus health cen-
ter in the Big XII, according to the
Ad Astra coalition. In order to
bring Watkins Health Center up
to University standards, Ad Astra
said it would invest financially in
needed upgrades and repairs to
the student health center.

@kjhilgers
@udK_Opinion From the @Kuinfo
desk at the union. uniOn parTaY.
O
n Sunday, I had the
privilege to watch our
beloved mens basketball
team lay into the Tarheels in a
way I could have only dreamed
of. Granted, the first half of said
game couldve been replaced by
a Benny Hill montage, but at the
end of the day, we won, and were
moving on.
Thats right baby, Sweet 16.
Now, unlike my sweet 16,
where I got lost at a Sea World
for three days surviving only on
fish parts the penguins didnt
want before being rescued by the
dolphin trainer, this party sounds
like its going to be one hell of a
good time. If last year is any indi-
cation of how crazy the people of
Lawrence are ready to get when
their Jayhawks blow through
another round of opponents, this
year will most likely become an
all-out riot. That being said, heres
a little advice for the ensuing
madness.
No SuperStitioN iS too
farfetcHed
I dont care if you have to wear
the same beer-covered cut-off
tee shirt from last season. You
pull that baby out, dust it off and
throw it on because leaving that
thing in the cupboard isnt doing
anyone any favors. Maybe you
were watching the game in your
old apartment last year when
we went to the Final Four. Well,
nows your chance to become an
expert lock picker and keep the
tradition alive! Just bring along a
six pack of your favorite beverage
as a peace offering to whom-
ever might live there now. And
remember to wipe your feet.
Keep aN air HorN HaNdy
You never know when fes-
tivities will arise as a result of a
Kansas win, so its best to keep
yourself strapped at all times with
one of these. Every good party
needs a hype man (or woman),
plus an air horn helps you let
everyone know that your party
group means business. Think of
it this way, if you get lost in the
crowd downtown this season,
what better way to find your
friends than with an obnoxious
display of air horn-age?
remember to Hydrate
This one is crucial. No one
likes a sickly party crasher, so stay
on top of your game. You think
Withey or Releford get to cop out
and get dehydrated? Absolutely
not! Its your job to alternate
between cans of Natty Lite and
water, between shots of Evan
Williams Green and Gatorade,
even taking a minute to lap up
some condensation from the bars
air conditioner between swigs
of moonshine will help you stay
healthy and in fighting shape.
Get yourSelf a Good pair
of atHletic SHoeS
This might sound like a gim-
mie, but youd be surprised how
many people wear the wrong
footwear to sporting event par-
ties. Ladies, this is not the time
for you to get all dolled up and
wear your new, cherry-red four-
inch pumps; save that crap for
dollar night at the Hawk. Go
out and buy yourself a solid
pair of Nike Shox so every time
McLemore drops a three you can
jump up on your feet and shout
with the rest of us.
These are just a few of the
basics here, but if you stay sharp
and watch your surroundings,
youll catch on quick. Good luck
and Godspeed.

H
ave you ever sat down
and watched a real-
ity TV show such as
Survivor, The Real World,
or a dating show like The
Bachelor and say, Wow this
would never happen if there
werent cameras around.
Well, I have, too, and were
most definitely not the only ones.
Reality television shows are
no longer reality. Even though
there is no script, there are still
guidelines set by the producers
that need to be followed, and this
manipulates the already unreal
situation.
Yes, I agree that a long time
ago, when reality TV became
popular, they were reality, but
nowadays people are just looking
for their 15 minutes of fame or
trying to live up to the hype and
expectations of previous seasons.
Just look at The Real World.
The first season is reality because
the people dont have any expec-
tations to live up to, or they dont
know how famous the show will
be so it is easy to be yourself
in this situation. But now, the
show is famous and on its 28th
season, so people want to be on
it to begin their acting careers or
become a celebrity. These people
are forced to cause drama and
start arguments because that is
what the producers want in their
show. Reality TV shows would
not even be aired on television if
there was no conflict. These peo-
ple are forced to put up an act for
the cameras because that is what
made the show so successful in
the past; why change it?
Or what about dating shows
like, The Bachelor? It is easy
for people to lie to make them
stand out over the other can-
didates, but in real life, people
have nothing to lie about because
they are not in a competition
while dating. The cameras make
people much more fake just so
they can stay around on TV lon-
ger. Im sorry ladies, but this is
not how you find your so called
prince charming. These people
dont fall in love with each other,
but rather fall in love with the
thought of winning the competi-
tion.
Just look at the statistics. Out
of the 24 possible couples, only
four are still together. That is a
pretty low percentage, seeing it
is the most romantic show on
television. Its not happily ever
after for these couples, but rath-
er, a reality breakup shortly after
the final episode was shot.
So do you believe me yet? Or
do I need another example about
how bad reality TV is today?
Well, here is one more, just in
case.
Survivor. There is not much
to say about this show because it
has been aired since the turn of
the millennium in 2000. These
people already learned how
to survive on these islands
because they have seen the tac-
tics that others have used in pre-
vious seasons. They understand
how to team up and win immu-
nity, so this reality show cant
really be reality anymore after 26
long seasons.
Dont believe people when
they say reality television is still
reality because honestly, they are
just talking a lot of hot air.

infer. They were asking if it was OK to
become a gas station attendant.
You know what they say about people
with big shoes... Big socks.
Dear girl who wants boys to keep
wearing colored pants, all pants are a
color technically ;)
Forget graduation... im ready for
retirement.
i cant wait until summer so that i
can complain about how hot it is, and
how i wish it was winter again.
T
he walls of my apartment
are lined with mirrors.
Kurt Vonneguts fictional
character Kilgore Trout called
them leaks.
These leaks reflect all the
things that make up who I am
and how I identify myself: my
beliefs, which sports teams I
support, my favorite films and
all the ideas from the books I
read. These leaks are the posters
that I covered the white walls of
my apartment with. And until
recently, I didnt realize how
much they say about me.
Once I decided to not renew
my lease on my apartment, First
Management scheduled several
possible tenants to come look
around my apartment to spark
their interest. While I cleaned up
my apartmentwhich, I admit,
is almost always trashedI real-
ized that the visitor would get
a complete view of exactly who
I am without ever meeting me.
The posters on my walls, all the
books on my two bookshelves,
my unmade bed, and the photos
of my family and friends on my
refrigerator all show some aspect
of me.
When I walked out of my
apartment just before the first
visitor arrived, I felt like staying
behind and explaining what all
these things meant. Why should
they get this glimpse of who I am
without any context?
I wanted to tell the visitor
that I support Chicago-based
teams because my family origi-
nates from Chicago. I wanted to
explain that I dont make my bed
because Im just going to mess it
up again. I wanted to show the
visitor all the books Ive read and
which ones are great and which
are awful. I wanted to explain
the family photo that clearly
shows that Im an inch taller than
my sister, although I believed
the opposite for several years. I
wanted to explain the photo of
me standing next to my Spanish
teacher from my freshman year
of high school, and how I havent
actually spoken to her since that
photo.
I wanted to tell this visitor my
life story.
But then it happened. I actu-
ally got this opportunity.
A few days ago as I walked
out of my apartment, a mother
and daughter were standing at
my door waiting for someone in
the building to walk out of their
apartment just so they could
ask if they could look around. I
let them in after calculating the
probability of them trying to
rob me and realizing that I have
nothing of worth to stealall
in one millisecond. I was now
watching the visitor judge all the
leaks into my personal life. They
were seeing exactly who I was
right in front of me.
All of a sudden, Im extremely
uncomfortable. I dont want these
people to know who I amor
at least not directly. I dont want
to see them judge me. I didnt
want to explain all these artifacts
about my life to them. I wanted
them for me and me only. These
leaks are for me to reflect my
own life back to myself.
Each day I wake up and see
Michael Jordan staring at me. I
see a copy of the Kansan front
page when Danny Manning and
the Miracles won the national
championship right next to the
Kansan front page of Marios
Miracle. Don Draper and
Derrick Rose watch over me as I
sleep. And my whole family sits
nicely smiling on my fridge.
These leaks are for me to
remember who I am and what
I represent. Someone else can
look at them, but it doesnt mat-
ter what they see. It only matters
what I see.
In August, I will move out of
my apartment, and these white
walls will be filled with leaks
into someone elses life and how
they like to see themselves in the
mirror.

Sweet Sixteen requires
a better fashion game
Now that were in the Sweet 16,
theres a lot of pressure. The gruel-
ing stress of choosing game day
outfits has taken its toll this late
in the season. It seems that almost
every week, weve had to conjure
up another adorable crimson and
blue ensemble. Even with harsh
obstacles such as snow and freez-
ing temperatures working against
us, we fought back with Hunter
rain boots and faux fur vests.
But now its time to step up our
game. The whole country is watch-
ing as March Madness marches on.
Its our duty to cheer on our mens
and womens basketball teams in
nothing but the best. Theres so
much at stake, but with celebri-
ties like Jason Sudeikis and Olivia
Wilde in our corner, we can do it.
Luckily for us, our school colors
are a timeless pairing. Red and
blue are used so often together
in fashion, and its most likely
because of us. Imagine having the
school colors gold and black, or
worse, purple and white. It just
wouldnt be the same. I sometimes
shop around and wonder if the
designers of the world are think-
ing of Kansas game days when
choosing their color swatches. For
instance, for years, weve seen the
nautical-inspired stripe trend, and
now patriotic-inspired pieces are
everywhere as well. And the ver-
satile trends are here to stay, as
Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors and
Marc Jacobs all continued on with
red and blue bold stripes in their
spring 2013 collections.
Other ways to fashionably sup-
port the University can be with
leather, denim or prints. Originally
brought onto the scene in black,
leather is now being made in an
assortment of bright colors for
spring. Also popular right now
is the Canadian tuxedo. A denim
button up is the most versatile
piece of clothing a guy or gal can
own, and it is also conveniently
blue. With a similar shade of jeans
and red shoes or lipstick, youre
set. Printed pants are everywhere
as well. If you spot blue and red
patterned anything, dont let the
opportunity pass.
Always remember that its now
officially spring, and even with
winter-like temperatures, dressing
for the right season is a must. Its a
difficult time in the Jayhawk fash-
ion world, but together as a team,
we can do it.

n real life, the White House is
one of the most secure, well-
fortified locations on earth.
In the movies, though, its a sit-
ting duck.
Director Roland Emmerich,
whose fetish for demolishing
national landmarks has been well
documented in so-called disas-
ter porn like 2012 and The
Day After Tomorrow, famously
vaporized the Presidential man-
sion via interstellar death ray dur-
ing Independence Day, the 1996
alien invasion flick that remains
both a visual effects landmark and
the publics first glimpse of Randy
Quaids burgeoning insanity.
Since Independence Day, the
destruction of 1600 Pennsylvania
Ave. has become a staple for film-
makers and TV showrunners hop-
ing to simultaneously establish the
severity of a threat while appeal-
ing to viewers sense of patriotic
outrage towards any enemy, real
or fictional, who would dare to
attack such a hallowed symbol
of American power and influ-
ence. Olympus Has Fallen, the
latest film to exploit this admit-
tedly jingoistic scenario, is an
intense, well-mounted action-
thriller buoyed by a ridiculously
overqualified cast that includes
Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo
and a sadly underutilized Angela
Bassett.
Our hero is Mike Banning
(Gerard Butler), a secret service
agent whose quick wit and ency-
clopedic knowledge of takedown
maneuvers make him equal parts
John McClane and Jack Bauer,
with a dash of Clint Eastwood
from In the Line of Fire thrown
in for good measure. Haunted by
his failure to save the life of the
First Lady (Ashley Judd) follow-
ing a car accident on an icy bridge,
Banning finds himself removed
from President Ashers (Aaron
Eckhart) security detail and
unceremoniously dumped behind
a desk, with nothing to look for-
ward to but sleepless nights and a
thankless retirement.
All that changes, however, when
he receives word that President
Asher and his cabinet are being
held hostage by a band of North
Korean terrorists posing as min-
isterial aides from Seoul. Their
ringleader is Kang (Rick Yune), a
nattily dressed nut job who plans
to ransom the President (and our
own nuclear launch codes) in
exchange for the U.S. militarys
immediate withdrawal from the
Korean Peninsula; an action he
believes will spur the reunifica-
tion of his homeland.
Banning, who arrives on the
scene just as Kangs forces are
sealing off the White House, slips
inside and begins to formulate
a plan to rescue the hostages,
including little Connor (Finley
Jacobsen), a precocious moppet
who regards Banning as a second
father. One of the finer aspects of
Olympus Has Fallen involves its
handling of the Connor character,
who in a lesser film would have
assumed the role of Bannings
gee-whiz sidekick.
Plausibility issues aside, the ini-
tial siege of the White House is
an effective example of carefully
ratcheted tension and quick busts
of sudden, shocking violence.
The plot may seem clunky and
cartoonish, but director Antoine
Fuqua knows better than to sugar-
coat the particulars of a terrorist
attack in Washington D.C., or the
surprisingly timely threat of a war
with North Korea. The action is
gritty and fluidly filmed, with a
refreshing disregard for shaky-
cam and other obfuscating gim-
mickry. Heres a rare movie that
proudly earns its R-rating.
Butler, an underrated presence
in Coriolanus and RocknRolla,
gives a solid, reliably stubbly per-
formance as Banning, slinging
punches and world-weary one-
liners with equal aplomb. Yune,
best remembered as the diamond-
pimpled Bond villain from Die
Another Day, makes Kang a for-
midable heavy, especially when he
starts coldly executing hostages
(some of them Oscar winners).
And only Morgan Freeman, play-
ing a beleaguered Speaker of the
House, could take a cheesy line
like, Hes just opened the Gates
of Hell! and inject it with oodles
of undeserved gravitas.
A lot of credit has to go to
Fuqua, a filmmaker known for cop
procedurals like Training Day
and Brooklyns Finest. He clearly
understands the importance of
putting performances first, even
in the midst of millions of dollars
worth of CGI window dressing.
It will be interesting to see how
Olympus Has Fallen stacks up
against Emmerichs White House
Down, a similarly themed action
movie set for release this summer.
No matter the outcome, one thing
is certain: our fictional presidents
are destined to remain homeless
for the foreseeable future.

Agent Banning (Gerard Butler) must protect the newly widowed President (Aaron eckhart) from North Korean kidnappers in Antoine Fuquas olympus Has Fallen.
The University of Kansas Wind
Ensemble has ventured into the
professional recording world for
the fourth time.
The ensemble recently released
its fourth CD, Landscapes, on
the Naxos Wind Band Classics
label. The album was released
March 1 and is currently available
through iTunes, Amazon and the
Naxos music library.
Our students were very excit-
ed, said Paul Popiel, director of
the wind ensemble. The oppor-
tunity to record on a major label is
a terrific opportunity to leave our
mark on the musical world.
Popiel said the ensemble
rehearsed the music on the CD
for about six weeks last spring
and officially recorded the tracks
last April at the Lied Center. He
added that the CD has a vari-
ety of music including a marim-
ba concerto featuring University
percussion professor Ji Hye Jung
and a piece by Aaron Copland
called Quiet City that features
University trumpet professor
Steve Leisring and oboe professor
Margaret Marco.
Emily Bachert, a junior from
Lawrence, talked about the new
experience of a recording process
and her reaction to it.
I was relieved and had a feel-
ing of accomplishment to be done
with the recording and my first
recording experience, she said. I
felt like the process strengthened
me as a musician, training me to
focus intensely on each musical
detail and how my part blended
with others.
Pete Walker, a second year
doctoral student from Terra Haute,
Ind., also discussed his feelings
about the recording process and
the relief he felt afterwards.
It was a very grueling process
and very repetitive, he said, but
there was also a lot of pride in
there in all the takes we did.

very generation gets the de-
bauched beach party movie
it deserves, and ours just
found its rotten little soul mate.
Imagine watching a Girls Gone
Wild infomercial from the bal-
cony of a glitzy art-house theater
with three hits of acid boiling in
your belly and youll have a rough
idea of what to expect from Spring
Breakers, Harmony Korines latest
toxic valentine to the young and
the feckless. What starts as a day-
glow teenybopper fantasy is vexed
to nightmare by the arrival of Alien
(James Franco), a cornrowed, gold-
en-grilled gangsta rapper whose
pad is awash with the fnest co-
logne, the most colorful designer
shorts, the darkest tanning oil and
the gaudiest of high-capacity fre-
arms.
Like the unholy brainchild
of Horatio Alger and cinematic
schlockmeister Russ Meyer (Fast-
er, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!), Spring
Breakers is the story of four biki-
ni-clad coeds who travel to St. Pete
Beach in search of booze, boys and
the ephemeral sense of chemical
camaraderie theyve mistaken for
the American Dream.
Tree of the girls (Vanessa Hud-
gens, Ashley Benson and the di-
rectors wife Rachel Korine) are
interchangeable hellcats who hold
up the local Chicken Shack with
spray-painted squirt guns in order
to fnance their trip and escape the
drudgeries of dorm life. Te fourth
and most conservative member of
their hard-partying posse is the
aptly named Faith (Selena Gomez),
a member of a Christian youth
group whose minister routinely
asks, Are you jacked up on Jesus?
Once Faith and her friends hit
Florida, the movie dissolves into
a neon-soaked riot for the senses,
where every act of depravity is cap-
tured with swooning liquid metal
kineticism by master cinematogra-
pher Benot Debie, who previously
culled art from atrocity in flms
like Gaspar Nos Irrversible and
Enter the Void. With its ellipti-
cal dialogue and pulsing, ethereal
imagery, parts of the flm border
on the impressionistic, as Drive
composer Clif Martinezs synth-
heavy score laces every scene with a
snarling undercurrent of nebulous
menace.
Afer a pre-dawn drug bust lands
them before a judge who refuses to
let them change out of their tat-
tered swimwear, the girls are bailed
out by Alien, who takes them back
to his crib, a gangsters paradise
where the mattress is lined with
Benjamins, the Kool-Aid is always
blue and Scarface plays on a con-
stant loop. Tis leads to the soon-
to-be-classic Look at my sheeyit!
monologue where Alien implores
his new houseguests to admire his
many belongings, a largely impro-
vised rif that singlehandedly makes
up for Francos botched co-hosting
of the Oscars back in 2011.
Alien wants to enlist the girls as
soldiers for the coming war against
his ex-BFF and fellow drug dealer
Archie (Gucci Mane, in his fever-
ishly anticipated big screen debut).
Tey agree, and the rest of Spring
Breakers oscillates wildly between
stoner comedy and gonzo gangster
drama, as the girls spend their days
disrupting Archies business (with
the aid of assault rifes and hot pink
ski masks) and their nights being
serenaded by Alien, whose skills
as a pianist seem to begin and end
with the collected works of Britney
Spears. To be fair, though, he does
manage to turn the pop stars 2004
single Everytime into the haunt-
ing accompaniment for a series
of increasingly brutal strong-arm
robberies.
Gomez and Hudgens, both for-
mer Disney Channel stars, are
clearly eager to burst out of their
squeaky-clean shackles, but Fran-
co is the flms real standout. His
Alien comes of like the degenera-
tive spawn of real-life rapper Rif
Raf and Gary Oldmans deranged,
dreadlocked pimp from True
Romance. Afer his oddly joyless
performance in Oz the Great and
Powerful, its nice to see the ac-
tor operating frmly outside of his
comfort zone, inhabiting a charac-
ter who couldnt be more diferent
from his own carefully cultivated
pretentious goofall persona.
Korine, the polarizing provoca-
teur behind Kids, Gummo and
a slew of other disquieting portraits
of youth in revolt, has reached a
new level of commercial appeal
with the release of Spring Break-
ers, which enjoyed a healthy na-
tionwide gross of nearly $5 million
(the only modest thing about the
flm is its budget). But thats not to
say the director has lost his edge. If
anything, mainstream exposure has
only served to mainline his unique
brand of hypnotically amoral exhi-
bitionism.
Or to put it in Alien-speak:
Spring break forever, bitches!

Do you ever plan on com-

Xv: Of course. whenever i plan a
tour, i always try to make sure it starts
in Kansas, just because ill never get
that hometown appreciation and love
like i do in Lawrence. my frst sold out
show on my headline run was in Law-
rence, so its hard to not go back to the
city that gave me that achievement.

out there around march madness, so
look for the green backpack.

Xv: the Kid with the Green Backpack
is about 50 percent complete. making
the music is easy, but the marketing,
timing, singles and strategy is a bit
more stressful. thats why you get the
vizzy Zone, Zero Heroes and Popu-
lar culture projects. so, after Popular
culture, all ive focused on is the Kid
with the Green Backpack, because
thats all i care about anymore.
are you releasing any-
THing before THe kiD wiTH

Xv: since i dont want to lose fo-
cus on my main goal, which is my
debut, ive held back from releasing
any new music or projects that arent
#sQuarian related or Kid with the
Green Backpack related. But i created
a project aside from the theme of my
album, and even apart from the theme
of music people are used to me making.
im looking at releasing that on april
20. Other than that, ill be releasing the
frst single from the album soon as well
as continuing with the squarian mix-
tape volumes with sez Batters, Freddy

be an eventful year.

CALABASAS, Calif. Depu-
ties were investigating claims made
Tuesday by a neighbor that Justin
Bieber attacked and threatened
him during an ar-
gument in subur-
ban Los Angeles,
authorities said.
No one was ar-
rested and few de-
tails were immedi-
ately available.
A representative
of Bieber, Melissa
Victor, did not im-
mediately return a
request for comment.
Online schedules indicate the
Baby singer is in the midst of a
European tour and performed a
show in Poland on Monday night.
Authorities were called to the
Calabasas scene just afer 9 a.m.,
said Steve Whitmore, spokesman
for the Los Angeles County Sher-
ifs Department.
Tere have been allegations
made against Mr. Bieber of battery
and making threats, Whitmore
said.
Its unclear
who called au-
thorities, and
whether there
might have
been previ-
ous problems
between the
19- ye ar- ol d
singer and
n e i g h b o r s ,
Wh i t mo r e
said.
In recent years, the Canadian
singer has been constantly chased
by paparazzi while publicly mor-
phing from an almost angelic mop-
topped teen to an adult battling a
bad boy image.
Recently, Bieber lashed out at pa-
parazzi and lunged at one photog-
rapher as members of the singers
entourage held him back.
Last summer, he got a speeding
ticket while trying to avoid a bevy
of photographers on a Los Angeles
freeway in his distinctive chrome
Fisker Karma.
He collapsed backstage during
a recent London concert and can-
celed a performance in Portugal.
Prosecutors decided against fl-
ing charges afer the pop star was
accused of kicking and punching a
photographer outside a Calabasas
movie theater in May 2012.
Earlier this year, an ex-body-
guard sued Bieber for alleged as-
sault and more than $420,000 in
unpaid wages. Moshe Benabou
claims Bieber repeatedly punched
him in the chest afer an argument
over the singers entourage.
Lately, the slim singer has taken
to whipping of his shirt in public
places.

tions made against mr.

because Im sure people know who
it is.
A recent study conducted by
Juwon Lee, a Ph.D. student in psy-
chology at the University, suggest-
ed that over-sharing on Facebook
can have negative effects in a rela-
tionship.
If you put something online,
its not really exclusive to your
partner, Lee said. It may cause
your partner to feel less special
or become jealous because other
people are seeing it.
Lee said online and offline
disclosures are different because
people tend to reveal more online
to a broad audience, while offline
is usually face-to-face.
The study said that revealing
more personal information online
led to less satisfaction and intimacy
for the other partner because he
or she felt there was little privacy
between them.
Its interesting because, tra-
ditionally in social psychology,
self-disclosure has been seen as
the facilitator of relationships, Lee
said, so the more people tend to
disclose to one another the closer
they tend to feel.
Pulse agreed that relationships
lose trust and exclusivity when one
partner exposes too much infor-
mation online.
If Im dating someone, Pulse
said, I want them to come to me
personally and tell me why theyre
upset, instead of making an obvi-
ous post about it on the Internet for
everyone to see.
Tess Hoerle, a junior from Eden
Prairie, Minn., said she usually
sees relationship-revealing statuses
when someone is in a fight or
recently broken up with their part-
ner.
Its kind of funny to see their
status say I love you so much,
baby, forever and always, and then
two days later it says I hate you
so much! My life is ruined now
Were over! Hoerle said.
Hoerle admitted that she has
put up a passive-aggressive status
to grind someones gears before,
but now understands it does every-
thing but help a relationship.
Facebook was almost like a gos-
sip wall in high school, she said,
so it didnt really seem taboo to
spill your guts to the whole world,
even though it was only directed at
one person.
Both Pulse and Hoerle rec-
ommended staying away from
revealing too much information
on Facebook, regardless of what
it is about. They agreed that no
problem can be better solved than
through face-to-face communica-
tion.

its hard for a monk to shave his own
head, Lee said. the popular Korean
proverb was ftting in acknowledg-
ing that it isnt easy knowing what
to post and what not to post to
the public, so she laid out a few
guidelines for disclosing information
on facebook:

DO pOst abOut pOsitivE
tHings
it can actually have a positive effect
between you and your partner be-
cause it shows you appreciate them.
Posting things about something
sweet your boyfriend or girlfriend did
for you will make him or her feel like
they make you happy.

DOnt talk abOut yOursElF
all tHE tiME
Being self-centered wont appeal to
your boyfriend or girlfriend. Your
partner might feel excluded or forgot-
ten if you dont mention him or her
at all, Lee said. it doesnt have to
be something negative about your
partner to have negative effects in
your relationship. Make an effort to
lower the amount of personal updates
and put up more about your partner.

DO bE DiscrEEt
the more selective you are, the
better. if youre going to disclose
information, make sure youre choos-
ing whats appropriate to put up
and what your partner may or may
not like, Lee said. there are certain
expectations in relationships, and
exclusivity is important to keep a
special bond with your loved one.

DOnt usE FacEbOOk as a
Diary
disclosing information online
can have really positive effects on
yourself, but not necessarily on your
relationship, Lee said. Keep in mind
that whatever you post may affect
your relationship negatively.

Campus staple gets tV time

Brellas in the Underground at
Wescoe Hall is notorious for its
Crunchy Chicken Cheddar wrap.
The wrap is so popular, it was cho-
sen as the best college eat for the
University in the Cooking Channels
Bracket Battle: Best College Eats.
The Cooking Channels battle of
the countrys best college eats is
an imitation of the NCAA March
Madness tournament. They chose
32 dishes from colleges around the
country and set them up against
each other. There were three quali-
fications for the dishes: they had to
be near the college campus, they
had to be a staple for students and
they had to be absolutely awesome.
The Universitys first opponent
was Iowa State and its VEISHEA
Cherry Pies. The Crunchy Chicken
Cheddar wrap from Brellas beat
Iowa States cherry pies by 353
votes. That victory advanced the
University to the Sweet 16, facing
Syracuse and its Cosmos Toasted
Honey Buns.
The Crunchy Chicken Cheddar
wrap knocked out Syracuses honey
buns by 920 votes, leading us to the
Elite Eight of recipes.
Laura Windram, a junior from
Eden Prairie, Minn., first tried the
Crunchy Chicken Cheddar wrap
her freshman year because her RA
told her it was so good, she had to.
She said that she wanted to keep
getting them as soon as she tried it.
Its a really interesting combina-
tion of food, Windram said.
For students who havent tried
the wrap before, it consists of
chopped chicken tenders, cheddar
and monterey jack cheese, sliced
tomatoes, shredded lettuce and fat-
free ranch, all wrapped up in a
jalepeno cheddar tortilla.
Jason Gorman, a senior from
Milwaukee, Wisc., tasted the
Crunchy Chicken Cheddar wrap
for the first time in 2010. He said
even though its not the healthiest
choice, its his go-to lunch because
it tastes good and has a good com-
bination of everything.
The ingredients always seem
pretty fresh, Gorman said, and
they serve it all over campus.
Our opponent in the Elite Eight
is Marquette University. Our recipe
faces Marquettes Real Chilis: The
Marquette. Its a bowl of spaghetti
topped with beef chili, chopped
onions and piles of cheddar cheese
and sour cream. Marquette beat
Fordham Universitys Pugsley
Pizzas Chicken Rolls by 4,511 votes
in the Sweet 16.
To keep the University in the
tournament, students can vote
online on the Cooking Channels
website. The Crunchy Chicken
Cheddar wrap currently has 683
votes, and Marquette has 649 votes.
Polls are open now and will close
March 31 at 2 p.m.
ErIN BrEMEr/KANsAN
Brellas Crunchy Chicken Cheddar Wrap is in the running to win the Cooking Channels college food bracket. the wrap de-
feated Syracuse Universitys Cosmos toasted Honey Bun and will continue on to the elite 8. the winner is decided by online

The womens basketball team
returned victorious to Lawrence
after an improbable weekend of
upsets.
On Saturday, the No. 12 seed-
ed Kansas Jayhawks knocked off
the No. 5 Colorado Buffaloes
on their home court in Boulder,
Colo. Then on Monday, the team
continued to make noise as they
knocked off No. 4 seeded South
Carolina as the Jayhawks became
the second 12-seed to advance to
the Sweet 16.
The Jayhawks have been led by
a senior trio of Angel Goodrich,
Monica Engelman and Carolyn
Davis, and they all love playing as
the underdogs because its more
fun.
Not a lot of people expect you
to win or dont have high expec-
tations for you, Engelman said,
after dropping a career-high 27
points in Mondays upset. So to
prove them wrong, makes a win all
that much sweeter.
How does a team that was one
of the last four into the tourna-
ment and lost seven of 11 games,
manage to pull off not one, but
two upsets in a span of 48 hours?
Quite simply. The Jayhawks
treated the tournament like a new
season, taking the experience
from previous struggles and turn-
ing them into positives.
We took good things that we
did and bad things and made some
adjustments to those, and weve
been working really hard so we
make sure we nipped those things
in the butt, Engelman said.
Engelman said the NCAA tour-
nament was a time to get to busi-
ness and not worry about what
happened in Big 12 play.
Anything can happen,
Engelman said. For us, we tried
to separate. This is a completely
different season. We werent going
to let how we played in the Big
12 determine how we play here.
I think having to play in the Big
12 and having the ups and downs
that we did, I think its prepared us
for what we need, what we have to
do, to be successful in this tourna-
ment.
Even with the struggles from
the end of the Big 12 season,
the goal for the team never once
changed.
I think weve always had the
goal of going back, said Davis,
who is playing in her first Sweet
16 after being injured last season.
Especially after experiencing it.
The years before, it was our goal,
but we never got there so it was
like a far out goal. We knew we
could make the NIT, but could we
really make the tournament? But
after last year and making it and
doing it, it gave us more motiva-
tion to keep trying.
With the back-to-back games
last weekend, sleep deficiency
became a issue. Kansas coach
Bonnie Henrickson said she didnt
sleep much on the bus because of
how excited she was after defeat-
ing two higher seeded teams.
Henrickson said it finally sunk
in that her Jayhawks were going
back to the Sweet 16 for the sec-
ond straight year.
The way they accomplished the
feat makes it feel like dj vu, but
even with that, Goodrich said its
still great to be a part of.
It was exciting then and
its exciting now. With Carolyn
back and everything, its fun. To
advance and survive. Some teams
arent still playing so for us to
continue to keep playing, its really
breathtaking.
Even with all the excitement
of getting to the Sweet 16 for con-
secutive years, the trio of seniors
arent content with just being there.
Theyre still in it for the fight.
I mean were excited we got
to the next game, but we arent
content, Engelman said. Were
still hungry and want to push for-
ward.

hree hundred wins later, its
time to forgive Roy Williams.
How long does it take to get
over a breakup?
Six months? One year? Five years?
For some Kansas fans, not even 10
years has been enough.
When current North Carolina
coach Roy Williams lef the Kansas
program in 2003, the heart got ripped
out of Jayhawk Nation. Te breakup
was public, and it was nasty. If Kansas
was Justin Timberlake, then Roy Wil-
liams was Britney Spears.
However, keeping with the Jus-
tin Timberlake metaphor (a phrase I
never thought Id write in a sports col-
umn), Timberlake has since risen to
unexpected heights. He has multiple
Emmys for hosting Saturday Night
Live, a clothing line, multiple plati-
num records and a decently success-
ful acting career. To top things of, he
married Jessica Biel.
Meanwhile, Kansas found Bill Self.
Kansas, for lack of a better phrase,
Justin Timberlaked. It was only af-
ter a messy breakup that the Jayhawks
truly began to take fight.
When Self arrived in 2003, the
proud program seemed shaken. Se-
nior stalwarts Nick Collison and Kirk
Hinrich just graduated. Te future
stars of the program were disgruntled.
Speaking about Williams, Wayne
Simien notably said, I literally gave
my right arm for that man, referenc-
ing playing through a shoulder injury.
Te locker room had no interest in a
new coach. Tat is, until the players
began to understand Bill Self and his
philosophy.
Self quickly began to transfer his
toughness and moxie to his players
on the court. He recruited hard-nosed
players without promising them im-
mediate playing time. Rather, he
promised development as a player and
a person.
In the meantime, Self has won
300 games and counting in 10 years,
including the national championship
in 2008. In that same time span, Ken-
tucky has 262 wins, Duke has 293, and
Williams North Carolina has 282.
Despite Kansas current success,
Kansas fans still fnd it difcult to for-
give Williams for his transgressions.
Te boos directed at him in Kansas
City were not as overpowering as the
ones LeBron James withstood during
his frst visit back to Cleveland, but
they were still indicative of a fan base
that has not completely moved on.
Kansas is better of with Bill Self.
Winning cures all ills. Williams Kan-
sas teams were always in contention,
but ofen lacked the toughness, de-
fense and high basketball IQ of Self s
teams. Tese weaknesses prevented
the Jayhawks from ever winning a
title.
Tats not to say that Roy Williams
has remained faithful to his Britney
Spears role. Instead of shaving his
head and marrying a back-up dancer,
Williams has won two championships
and made an additional Final Four.
Te added boost Williams gets from
recruiting to the East Coast has obvi-
ously helped him. And the fact that he
has experienced the kind of success he
was never able to bring to Kansas is a
notable cause of some of the vitriol.
However, what Williams has done
for North Carolinas program since
leaving Kansas is moot. It is what Bill
Self has done that is important.
Ten years is enough to heal the
wounds. Kansas basketball has moved
on.
Its time for all fans to do the same.
Monica Engelman sat at the press
conference inside Allen Fieldhouse
on Tuesday afternoon flanked by
her two fellow senior teammates,
5-foot-4 guard Angel Goodrich
on her right and 6-foot-3 forward
Carolyn Davis on her left.
About 17 hours earlier in
Boulder, Colo., Engelman dropped
a career-high 27 points on the No.
4-seed South Carolina Gamecocks,
leading the way to a 74-69 Kansas
victory that earned them its second
straight trip to the sweet 16.
I was just trying to play and
stay aggressive, Engelman said the
night before. And do what I need-
ed to do to get us the win.
Its been no secret that
Henrickson wants Engelman to be
aggressive and look to score. There
was no hesitation from Engelman
when she caught the ball against
South Carolina.
She was 2-for-3 from behind the
arc. She scored at the rim. She
drained mid-range shots and did
everything else her coach wanted
to see from her.
Huge, huge, huge, Henrickson
said of Engelmans contribution.
Shes got a little good bounce to
her right now.
Engelman realizes how impor-
tant her scoring can be to the team,
and how much it influenced the
way her teammates play.
I needed to be aggressive,
Engelman said after the game. And
it gets contagious, and when my
teammates are aggressive, and were
doing what we need to do as a
team then it makes me feel better
as a basketball player and do what
I need to do.
Of the 27 points scored by
Engelman, 18 of them were scored
in the first half to ignite a 42-point
second half against one of the top
defensive teams in womens college
basketball.
Its clear that Engelman is an
important piece in the Kansas scor-
ing attack, but Henrickson pointed
out that its more than just her scor-
ing ability that helped the Jayhawks
reach the sweet 16.
Other than making shots the
other night shes guarded better,
Henrickson said. Shes been able
to keep people in front of her. We
switch everything, weve switched
matchups for her to guard some of
the better guys. I think for Moni,
this has been her best year on the
defensive end.
This year for Engelman has been
one of growth and maturity.
Her game has grown, but so
have her attitude on the court and
her role on the team as a leader.
Her teammates and coaches have
noticed.
Shes done a lot for us this year,
Goodrich said of Engelman. Her
role has changed. Shes embraced
that a lot this year. Being a leader,
being a senior, shes really taken on
that role and were proud of her.
Engelman gave credit to
Goodrich for her scoring, immedi-
ately following the game and at the
press conference the following day
in Lawrence. Without Goodrich,
Engelman said she couldnt have
done it.
For me, [senior guard] Angel
[Goodrich] made it easy, Engelman
said. Shes a great point guard, and
she can push the ball, so it makes
everyone else run and spread the
floor, and we were able to get easy
buckets in transition.
Engelman and the Jayhawks
understand the challenge that lies
ahead of them with No. 2 ranked
Notre Dame. The Irish have only
lost once in 34 games this season,
and that was to Big 12 champion
and defending national champion
Baylor, who also defeated Notre
Dame in last seasons national
championship game.
Engelman says she tries not to
put too much pressure on herself,
and with the Jayhawks making
another surprise run to the sweet
16 she says her teammates and her
are having fun with their role as
the Cinderella team in March once
again.
Its more fun, Engelman said.
Not a lot of people expect you to
win or dont have high expectations
for you, so to prove them wrong
makes a win all that much sweeter.
Engelman scored just eight
points over the three game tour-
nament run for the Jayhawks last
season.
Davis and Goodrich have been
on the All-Big 12 teams, they have
been recognized for their individ-
ual talents as candidates for the
Wade award.
There may have been times
when Engelman has been over-
looked during her four year career
at Kansas, but this is not one of
them and coach Henrickson made
sure of it.
I dont overlook her, Henrickson
said. I think theres room for three
great players in a program. The
thing for her, from a confidence
stand point, shes worked to get her-
self back. Its been well documented
that she struggled last year, but
were all so proud of her to be able
to pull herself up by the boot straps
and get it right. Shes a big reason
we are where we are right now.

Senior guard monica engelman dribbles past a Prairie View a&m opponent on her way to the basket in Sundays game at allen
Fieldhouse.
B
asketball is a team game; that is
obvious when watching, but easy
to forget when something goes
wrong. Quickly, a team game can turn
into a solo in which the spotlight shines
brightest on the player who makes a
mistake.
Maybe he missed the shot or he com-
mitted the ominous foul, but this year,
Kansas has been able to overcome mis-
takes in guard play and subsequently has
turned the backcourt into a strength.
Elijah Johnson, Naadir Tharpe and
Travis Releford are averaging 10.1 assists
to 6 turnovers per game going into
Fridays match-up against Michigan.
Only plus four assists is not that impres-
sive as a whole, but when you consider
how the Jayhawk backcourt was playing
on Feb. 6 against TCU when Johnson,
Releford and Tharpe combined for seven
assists and six turnovers, it starts to
sound a lot better.
The difference? Naddy Ice. That is
what I yell at my TV when I see Tharpe
hit a step-back three or drop a nice little
dime through a defenders legs. His stoic
presence and confidence has rubbed off
on the Kansas guards. Not convinced by
my corny nickname? Lets look at some
numbers.
The next game after that impressive
loss was a tough road game in Norman,
Okla., against a solid Sooner squad that
locked down a broken Jayhawk team
for a 72-66 loss. Kansas then goes home
to host Kansas State and Bill Self puts
Tharpe in to run the point at the five
minute mark, and Johnson continues to
struggle, but eight Tharpe assists (and
one turnover) later, Benny Mac has 30
points and the Wildcats see their second
loss of the season at the hands of the
Jayhawks.
Texas next visits Lawrence to see the
show, and by this point, Johnson feels
comfortable as he has 12 points and four
assists with one turnover. Kansas wins
by 26 points, and with the rotation set,
Kansas rattles off six more wins.
Since the five-minute mark of the
second K-State game, the Jayhawk back-
court has been a threat, and if the trio of
Johnson, Releford and Tharpe can con-
tinue to mesh with, say, 15 or so points
from McLemore, then Kansas is a legiti-
mate threat to cut down the net in April.

Q: What is Naadir Tharpes season
high in assists?
A: He had 12 assists and zero turn-
overs against American University.

VIERA, Fla. Ryan Zimmerman
has already told Nationals manager
Davey Johnson that he needs only
50 at-bats in spring training to be
ready for the regular season.
Washingtons third baseman,
who had 48 at-bats coming into
Wednesdays game against Atlanta,
homered three times to lead a split
squad of Nationals to an 11-2 win
over the Braves.
I guess as soon as Zim gets
his 50 at-bats, hes ready, Johnson
joked.
Zimmerman wasnt the only one
to go deep for the Nationals, who
got a pair of home runs from catch-
er Wilson Ramos and another from
Tyler Moore. Four of Washingtons
six homers came against reliever
Daniel Rodriguez, who gave up
eight runs in two-plus innings.
Ramos and Zimmerman each
had four RBIs.
Both of Ramos home runs came
against Rodriguez, and both were
on the first pitch. The second was a
three-run shot.
Zimmerman led off the fourth
inning with a home run against
Rodriguez, led off the fifth with
one off Christian Martinez and
then hit a two-run shot against
Dusty Hughes in the seventh.
I hit the ball good, Zimmerman
said. Im starting to feel better. . Its
nice to start getting going.
The Nationals have one game
left in Viera on Thursday against
the New York Mets before heading
to Washington D.C. for an exhi-
bition game against the Yankees
on Friday. They open the season
Monday at home against Miami.
While a number of teams
have had competition for posi-
tions throughout the spring, the
Nationals have pretty much known
what their opening day roster will
look like.
Weve pretty much known
all spring what our team is,
Zimmerman said. Its almost the
exact same as last year. Its kind of
an advantage for us because we get
to use this time to get back to doing
what we were doing last year. .. We
have a good team. We just have to
keep getting better.
Zimmerman may be on track for
opening day, but Atlanta catcher
Gerald Laird admittedly needed
some work after being slowed ear-
lier this spring by a calf injury.
Laird and teammate Evan Gattis
hit back-to-back home runs off
Washington starter Ross Detwiler
in the sixth inning.
Im starting to feel good at the
right time, Laird said.
It was Lairds second game in a
row, but only his 12th of the spring.
He has had just 25 at-bats.
Im going to try to catch tomor-
row, too, so I can go three in a row,
Laird said. It was nice to get back
out there and try to get your timing
going. The first day, youre kind of
excited. .. It was a good all-around
day.
Ramiro Pena had three hits for
the Braves.
Moore, who followed Ramos
first homer with one of his own,
was starting in place of Bryce
Harper, who did not even take
batting practice to rest his injured
left thumb.
Harper was jammed with a pitch
in Tuesdays game against Miami.
He had originally experienced pain
and swelling in the thumb after
getting jammed with a pitch March
22 against Detroit.
The left fielder, who is batting
.476 this spring, has reached base
in his last 10 plate appearances.
He told reporters Wednesday he
would have been able to play if it
were a regular-season game.
As it stands, though, Harpers
status is up in the air for the final
two games Thursday in Viera
and Friday in D.C. as a precau-
tion before the season opener.
Whenever you get jammed, it
hurts. Harper said. (Tuesday), I
got jammed a little bit. It hurt
pretty bad. I woke up this morn-
ing and it felt fine. Its just a matter
of getting through it and playing
through it. I dont think its going to
hold me down or anything. I have a
pretty high pain tolerance.
Harper experienced a similar sit-
uation in his first season at Class-A
Hagerstown, but said this injury
isnt nearly as severe. He has been
wearing a foam pad on his thumb
during batting practice, and may
be forced to wear it during a game.

Band takes pep on the road
EMMa LEGauLT
elegault@kansan.com
As game time approaches in the
Fieldhouse, they raise their instru-
ments and prepare to deliver the first
few notes of their trademark song,
Sounds of Summer.
Although the basketball players
will take center stage, its showtime
for these supporting roles, too.
Throughout the game, the crowd
sings, claps and jumps along to the
fight song, classics
like Sweet Caroline
and Hey Jude, and
interpretations of
recent hits such
as Macklemores
Thrift Shop.
However, come
tournament time,
the mens basketball
pep band adjusts to
new atmospheres,
new crowds and a slightly different
job.
We go from being the entertain-
ment in the Fieldhouse to being
the student section for tournament
games, Colin Lohrenz said.
Lohrenz, a Lawrence senior,
plays tenor trombone for the
band. Growing up in Lawrence, he
watched as fellow high school class-
mates gained national exposure dur-
ing games when they came to play
at the University. He followed suit
and joined the basketball pep band
to mix two of his biggest interests:
music and sports.
Members of the Marching
Jayhawks are able to audition for
the pep band before the season
starts. While most of the members
play together at home games, only
30 members are selected to travel
with the team to tournament games
based on a point system relating to
attendance and section seat place-
ment.
We usually try not to distract
the team and staff if we are fortunate
to travel with the team, Lohrenz
said. Weve run into the players
hanging out around the tournament
sites. Kevin Young is always fun to
catch up with.
However, its a relationship built
on distance and focus.
The players and coaches usu-
ally say hi, but they have a job to do
and so do we, said Marina Hague,
a junior from Overland Park who
plays trumpet.
We travel with them, but
we dont really interact, drummer
Chris Carter said. I think the play-
ers and coaches appreciate what we
do, but they dont really acknowl-
edge it. Theyve got more important
things to do.
Carter, a
junior from
Lawrence, was
drawn to the
band because of
his strong musi-
cal upbringing.
He began play-
ing piano at
age three and
drums at 13.
Thanks to his
love for Kansas basketball, Allen
Fieldhouse and Travis Barker of
Blink-182, he was determined to be
a part of the basketball band.
My drum teacher was actu-
ally the drummer in the band at the
time, he said, so from the moment
I started playing drums, I wanted to
be in the basketball band.
Aside from having months
to memorize the music and a few
rehearsals in the weeks leading up to
it, Carter and Hague said they were
comfortable going into the Big 12
tournament.
We know the music, we know
the drill, we perform, Hague said.
We approach each game with
the same expectations as we do for
any other, Carter said. That way,
when we get to a big game, were
already pretty confident that were
going to look and sound great.
Lohrenz said the band has a few
unorthodox preparation methods to
bring the energy before tournament
games.
We have a couple of rituals we
have to do, including hog-calling
and drinking a lot of caffeine to get
us jacked, he said.
The country watches as the
rivalries unfold on the court, but
Carter said the competition extends
beyond that.
There is as much a battle of the
bands as there is a battle on the court
between the teams, he said. We
want to prove KU has the best team
on the court and the best band off of
it. So, we play our best and bring our
energy to really amp the place up.
As any Kansas basketball fan
knows, tournament time is a frenzy
of emotion. As the action escalates,
the band must stay in sync with the
energy of the game and the crowd
while simultaneously concentrating
on the music.
The intensity fuels our fire,
Stephen Meiller, a junior from
Norman, Okla., who plays mello-
phone said.
Thats when the good pep
bands really separate themselves
from the others, Carter said. A
good pep band can take the energy
from the stadium and amplify it for
their fans, while a bad pep band can
kill the energy of a stadium by play-
ing a song at the wrong time.
Philip Kaul, a freshman from De
Soto, said the band benefits from the
excitement of power-packed games.
I actually think close or dif-
ficult games improve the bands
energy level and playing, he said.
When we know the team needs our
help, we take it up a notch.
In his first year with the band,
Kaul has only had the experience
of tournament play close to home
at the Sprint Center. He said the
change of venue to Arlington, Texas
for the Sweet 16 is something he is
looking forward to.
The Big 12 Tournament was
a great experience, he said. There
is definitely a different atmosphere
than games at the Phog because no
venue in the country can compare
to that, but Kansas City is close
enough, that is almost a de facto
home game.
Although a win is desirable,
no matter what the score is at the
end of the final buzzer, the band is
unconditionally supportive.
Our job is to cheer on the team
and provide a great atmosphere,
Hague said. We are huge fans, so we
just do our thing and play music.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Tere
are times when Mitch McGary
gives his coach no choice but to
pause and maybe take a deep
breath before speaking.
Afer a season of working with
the 6-foot-10 freshman, John Bei-
lein understands the drill.
Ive learned to wait for a minute
almost count to fve before I
try and address
him afer he does
something either
good or bad, Bei-
lein said. Its all
good, but you do
have to be patient
when you speak
with him, because
he does get very
enthusiastic about
certain things.
Beileins patience
was rewarded last
weekend, when McGary had 21
points and 14 rebounds in Michi-
gans 78-53 victory over Virginia
Commonwealth. Te Wolverines
reached the NCAA tournaments
round of 16 for the frst time since
1994, and although their stellar
guard play was crucial in handling
VCUs pressure, it was McGarys
presence inside that the Rams had
no answer for.
Te 250-pound big man shot 10
of 11 from the feld. It was one of
the best individual performances
by a Michigan player this season
and thats saying something on
a team that includes point guard
Trey Burke, a national player of the
year candidate.
Tats Mitch McGary he
brings intensity to this game and
hes kind of like our X-factor,
Burke said. Hes the guy that gives
us the spark and makes our engine
run in the frontcourt.
Burke, Tim Hardaway Jr. and
Glenn Robinson III can hurt teams
with their
at hl et i ci s m
and unselfsh
passing, but
the Wolver-
ines are large-
ly a fnesse
team. Mc-
Gary brings
a diferent
element. Like
the proverbial
bull in a chi-
na shop, he
bounces around the court, setting
screens, positioning himself for re-
bounds and chasing loose balls.
Troughout his coaching career,
Beileins teams have been smart,
fundamentally sound groups that
space the foor well on ofense and
beat opponents with both skill and
savvy. When McGary is on the
court, nobody seems to know what
hell do next.
Whether he was scoring on put-
backs or fattening somebody with
a pick Saturday, McGary added
a physicality that his teammates
dont always play with.
I was just able to get open
looks when they would attack the
ball, McGary said. Trey and Tim
would fnd the open man and we
would attack the basket.
McGary, Robinson and Nik
Stauskas are the most prominent
members of a freshman class that
has contributed all season for
Michigan, but McGary has only
started four games and needs to
avoid foul trouble to be efective.
Still, he leads the Wolverines at
5.9 rebounds per game despite av-
eraging only 18.4 minutes. When
Jordan Morgan struggled coming
back from an ankle injury, McGary
was put in the starting lineup for the
teams NCAA tournament opener
against South Dakota State.
Against VCU, the Wolverines
did a good job handling the ball
against pressure, and the Rams
didnt seem ready to deal with Mc-
Gary around the basket.
I was just getting open looks.
Trey and Tim and Glenn, they
were all feeding me and everybody
was just feeding of the energy,
McGary said. So it built. Im hon-
ored to be starting, but at the same
time I know I have to start or come
of the bench and bring the same
energy.
Michigan is hoping McGary has
taken a permanent step forward,
but the next test will be a tough
one. Te fourth-seeded Wolver-
ines play Friday against top-seeded
Kansas and 7-footer Jef Withey.

Kansas starts Big 12 play
with its first home series
rowing team to host only
home event of regular season
michigan freshman adds
depth, helps in frontcourt
Afer 28 road games and a home
opener cancelation, the Kansas
sofball team will fnally get to play
a series at home.
Te Jayhawks will host the No. 8
Texas Longhorns in a three-game
series this week-
end. Tis marks
the opening of
Big 12 play for
the Jayhawks as
well as the frst
series at home
for the team. Te
Jayhawks are
nearly two weeks
removed from
the last time
they took the feld in Te Capital
Classic in Sacramento. Te team
fnished the Capital Classic with a
2-2 record making it 21-7 on the
year. But with two weeks of, the
inevitable debate of rest versus rust
will creep in. Coach Megan Smith
thinks the rest will be a good thing
for the team.
I think it was a needed break for
us because we traveled so much,
and we were so exhausted afer all
the travel, Smith said. I think be-
ing home for a couple weeks and
having a chance to breathe will be
good for us.
Te frst game of the series is
Tursday at 5 p.m. Te Longhorns
are 29-4 on the season and are com-
ing of a two-game sweep of Baylor.
Texas is batting
.331 as a team
and only allow-
ing its opponents
to hit .180 on the
season. Te Texas
lineup has eight
players with a
batting average
higher than .300,
and its pitching
staf is led by se-
nior Blaire Luna, who is 15-1 on the
season with an ERA of 1.11. Luna
earned National Fastpitch Coaches
Association (NFCA) All-America
Second Team honors in 2010 and
2011, was named to the 2012 Eas-
ton All-America Second Team,
and was a two-time USA Sofball
National Player of the Year Top-10
fnalist, along with numerous other
accolades in her career.
Te Longhorn potent ofense
along with its strong pitching staf
will pose a challenge for the Jay-
hawks this weekend. Smith believes
that it is going to be a challenge
because the Jayhawks will be fac-
ing one of the best ofenses in the
country and best pitching stafs in
the country. Te Jayhawks come
into the Big 12 opener still leading
the NCAA in batting average, hit-
ting .383 on the season.
We need to focus on what we
need to do, and we do to be suc-
cessful, Smith said. When our
pitchers are throwing well, they hit
their spots, they mix their speeds,
and ofensively, when we are good,
we swing at our pitches and control
the at-bats; that is when were suc-
cessful.
Texas has won 11 of the last
13 matchups with Kansas, being
nationally ranked in 11 of those
matchups. Te last time Kansas
beat the Longhorns was April 13,
2008. Texas has a record of 12-1
versus Kansas in Austin, but the
Jayhawks hold a slight edge in Law-
rence with a 10-9 record.
Te Kansas rowing team is set to
face Kansas State in the Sunfower
Showdown Saturday in Kansas
City, Kan. Tis is the rowing teams
only home event except for the Big
12 Championship.
Te nine seniors on the team,
Danielle Adam, Olivia Catloth,
Katy Evans, Eileen Gallagher, Ol-
ivia Kinet, Katy MacCormack,
Ashlyn Midyett, Emily Starr and
Cheyenne Verdoorn, will be hon-
ored.
Te Jayhawks have already
faced the Wildcats this season.
On March 9, the two teams met
in a dual at the Oklahoma Invite.
Tat dual started with Kansas State
winning the Novice Eight race, but
it was all Kansas afer that. Te
Jayhawks won the Second Varsity
Four, Varsity Four, Second Varsity
Eight and the Varsity Eight races.
Afer that dual, coach Rob Cat-
loth said the team wants to go into
the rematch with a mental edge,
and the performance from the
Oklahoma Invite will not hurt the
teams confdence.
Tis Saturday, the teams will
compete in fve races starting at
10 a.m. with the Novice Four. Fol-
lowing that race at 10:15 a.m. is
the Novice Eight and 15 minutes
afer that is Varsity Four. At 10:45
a.m. the teams will race in the Sec-
ond Varsity Eight. Te Sunfower
Showdown concludes at 11 a.m.
with the First Varsity Eight race.
Te Sunfower Showdown, once
called the Kansas Cup, started in
1998. Te teams have met 15 times
before, with Kansas State having
an edge in the record 8-7. Te
Wildcats have also won the last
two Sunfower Showdowns.
Te Sunfower Showdown is

LOS ANGELES Wichita State
and La Salle busted a few brack-
ets with their early wins in the
NCAA tournament. Now theyre
in the final 16 and playing a short
drive from Hollywood. Just dont
script their matchup as a meeting
of underdogs.
These guys think theyve got
a lot of credibility, even if large
chunks of the country didnt pay
them any attention until now.
The beautiful thing about the
NCAA tournament is to see great
teams that you dont see every
night and to see different players
that you might see some day at
the next level, La Salle coach John
Giannini said.
The ninth-seeded Shockers (28-
8) and No. 13 Explorers (24-9)
meet in the second West Regional
semifinal on Thursday night at
Staples Center, where Kobe Bryant
of the Lakers and Blake Griffin of
the Clippers can usually be found
changing outcomes with last-
second jumpers or highlight-reel
dunks.
Ramon Galloway of La Salle
couldnt resist creating some of
his own NBA-style moves at the
end of Wednesdays open prac-
tice. The senior guard, one of four
Philadelphia-bred players on the
team, showed off what he called
dunk-contest dunks.
When the game time comes,
if I can get a fast break, hopefully
I can show the world what I can
do, he said.
The Explorers and the Shockers
have proud pasts in the tourna-
ment; they occurred just long
enough ago to have fallen off the
current radar. La Salle was the 1954
national champion; Wichita State
made the 1965 Final Four.
Were not rags to riches, said
Giannini, whose Ph.D. in kinesiol-
ogy earned him the title of Dr. in
front of his name. Maybe people
are surprised weve won three in a
row. But weve beaten good teams
all year.
And the Explorers will have
to beat another one to continue
their tournament road trip that
began 2,754 miles ago in Dayton,
Ohio, where they won a play-in
game against Boise State to get into
the NCAAs. Then they took out
Kansas State and Mississippi by a
combined four points in Kansas
City, and havent been back to
Philly since.
If we would have gone home, we
might have lost focus just enough
to slip up a little bit, guard Tyreek
Duren said.
Indeed, their city has embraced
the team. The 76ers posted a good
luck message for the Explorers
on the video board at Wednesday
nights game that was greeted with
an ovation.
We didnt have that support
all year, Galloway said. When
you do stuff and people get to see
you, then they actually praise you.
Im just glad that weve got the
opportunity to play on national
television, in front of everybody,
so everybody can see what La Salle
stands for.
The Shockers did return home
after their upset of No. 1 seed
Gonzaga last weekend.
The community was very excit-
ed, but it was just a regular basket-
ball game for us, guard Malcolm
Armstead said. It proved a lot to
the country and also to ourselves,
but it was just something that we
had to do.
La Salle plays in front of a
few thousand at its home games;
Wichita State draws more than
10,000. The Shockers travel by pri-
vate plane to their away games and
coach Gregg Marshall hops one on
recruiting trips.
Instead of a school bus, theyre
more like Ferraris and Jaguars, he
said. They go pretty fast.
In between coaching his team,
Marshall is practically moon-
lighting for the chamber of com-
merce spreading the good word
about Wichita and Wichita State
University, as he put it.
Weve had our share of great bas-
ketball, he said, ticking off famous
players like Dave Stallworth, Xavier
McDaniel and Antoine Carr. Its
all coming together for us again.
No more so than for Ron Baker,
a freshman guard whose 16 points,
including four 3-pointers, helped
the Shockers beat Gonzaga. He
returned for the Missouri Valley
Conference tournament after
missing 21 games with a left foot
injury.
Ive said many times if Ron
Baker were a stock, you better get
in now, Marshall said.
La Salle will get some size
back and rebounding help when
6-foot-11 center Steve Zack returns
Thursday after missing the previ-
ous six games with a sprained foot.
He can play if he feels well
enough and we put him in there,
Giannini said, so that dramatically
changes things.
Only one of these smaller schools
gets to move on to a stage usually
dominated by the bigger schools,
and Galloway isnt sure why the
matchup needs sizzle to sell.
Were basically two of the same
teams. Were both going to go
out there and play hard, he said.
Theyve gotten great wins to get
here. We got great wins to get here.
If you look at our track record that
should speak for itself. Were in the
Sweet Sixteen. Youve got to watch
everything.
For the Kansas tennis team, this
weekends match-up against No.
50 Kansas State just got a bit more
important. As of Wednesday morn-
ing, the Jayhawks were ranked No.
74 and had an 8-3 (0-1) record.
However, when the team takes
the court Saturday at 1 p.m. against
the Wildcats, the Jayhawks will
need to be looking to get more
than just interstate bragging rights.
A conference victory will be of at
least equal importance. If Kansas
hopes to win the Big 12, starting
0-3 in conference is not the way
to do it.
K-State has a 6-6 record and is
also 0-2 in Big 12 play, and while
that record looks unimpressive, it
is not the one that matters most.
4-0 is the record that shouts the
loudest. That is K-States record in
the last four meetings between the
two, and the Wildcats have won
eight of the last 11.
In order for Kansas to break the
four-game losing streak, the team
will need to get back to its winning
ways in doubles play.
Like most things in life, that feat
is easier said than done as K-State
boasts the No. 37 ranked dou-
bles duo in Petra Niedermayerova
and Karla Bonacic. While K-State
has highly ranked players, the
Jayhawks duo of Paulina Los and
Maria Belen Luduea have nine
wins in 12 doubles matches this
spring.
Singles play on Saturday is shap-
ing into the main attraction as
K-State has the No. 11 singles
player in Niedermayerova, but
Kansas just got back from a road
trip to Oklahoma State in which
Maria Jose Cardona beat the No.
60 ranked singles player in the
country, Malika Rose, (6-4, 3-6,
10-8). Also during that trip, fresh-
man Anastasija Trubica lost her
second match of the spring. Look
for her to bounce back, after her
first loss, she got a win in her next
full match out.
The winner of the match will
earn its first Big 12 win of the
year, and for Kansas it would break
a four game winning streak by
K-State.
Afer coming of a road trip in
which the Jayhawk tennis team
won all three of its matches, Kan-
sas traveled to Stillwater, Okla.,
on Wednesday to take on No. 25
Oklahoma State.
Tis trip, however, did not end
in victory. Te team lost 6-1its
fourth loss of the spring season
and in the process, got swept in
doubles play for just the second
time all spring. Kansas won at
least two of three in its last three
matches in double play.
Te lone point of Wedsnesdays
match came from freshman Maria
Jose Cardona. She needed three
sets to best the No. 60 ranked sin-
gles player in the country, Malika
Rose, a senior from OSU (6-4,
3-6, 10-8). Also, for only the sec-
ond time of the spring, freshman
Anastasija Trubica lost a singles
match.
Other than the victory by Car-
dona, the only bright spot of the
road trip was the experience Kan-
sas received from playing a high-
ranked team on the road.
Te loss leaves Kansas with
an 8-4 record and will likely take
away the Jayhawks recently earned
ranking in the Intercollegiate Ten-
nis Association polls. Kansas went
into the match ranked No. 74.

Junior starting pitcher Frank Duncan and sophomore starting pitcher Wes Benjamin combine for an earned run average of 4.21
on the year, which has helped Kansas earn its 14 wins so far. Coming out of the bullpen, junior Jordan Piche and sophomore Robert
Kahana have been a valuable asset for the Jayhawks. The bullpen has allowed only three runs in the last 11 games. If the series is
tied going into Saturday, Kansas has the advantage with Thomas Taylor being on the mound for the series fnale.
Sophomore infelder Justin Protacio
has been busy playing a couple of dif-
ferent positions. Hes also been busy at
the busy at the batters box. Protacio
had the best offensive series as a Jay-
hawk against ByU, going 6-for-13 with a
double and two runs batted in. Protacio
is adding on to some of the Jayhawks
offensive power, which is a necessity
against a top-25 team in Oklahoma.
Oklahomas batting is some of the
toughest Kansas has to face this year.
Junior Matt Oberste leads the Big 12 in
hits with 50, runs batted in with 34 and
home runs with seven. Oberste has a
strong supporting cast behind him with
Carey and Mayfeld tied second on the
team in home runs with three this year.
The Sooners collectively have 16 home
runs, which ranks them second in the
conference.
Kansas has collectively committed 20
errors on the season, 11 fewer than their
opponents combined so far this season.
Kansas pitchers have had a lot of suc-
cess this season because of the felding
and limited errors committed in 2013.
Outfelder Connor McKay and outfelder
Joe Moroney are not projected to start,
but are expected to receive signifcant
playing time this weekend in Norman,
Okla.
Oklahomas felding has done pretty
well for most of this season, despite
nearly a dozen freshmen receiving a lot
of playing time this year. Despite be-
ing young, the Sooners have been able
to play good defense and feed off from
their pitchers. Third baseman Garrett
Carey and shortstop Jack Mayfeld hold
a lot of responsibility as seniors to keep
the Sooners infeld focused.
Kansas faces a huge test this weekend when going up against juniors Jonathan Gray and Dillon Overton. Gray and Overton
each have surrendered one loss this year and combine for 90 strikeouts so far this year. The Sooners will heavily rely on their
starting pitchers to help them get through another Big 12 conference series. Oklahoma has yet to announce who its starting
pitcher will be Saturday.
