POLICE REPORTS
For Kansas college students, new
legislation could mean packing
heat as well as a lunch.
Despite previous failed attempts
in recent years, the Kansas House is
expected to deliberate on multiple
bills this week that could allow
concealed carry permit holders to
bring firearms to college campus-
es and other state and municipal
buildings.
But after a Democratic legislator
from Colorado argued against con-
cealed weapons at a debate Friday,
stating that a female college stu-
dents right to protect herself from
rape should not extend to carrying
firearms, concealed carry laws are
drawing staunch criticism online.
State Representative Joe Salazars
(D-Colo.) claims that 911 call
boxes and rape whistles are ample
measures, as well as criticism from
his opponents, lead to the Twitter
hashtag #LiberalTips2AvoidRape,
which began trending Monday.
The hashtags originator,
whose Twitter moniker is @
SooperMexican and has more than
21 thousand followers, wrote on
his page that he created the hashtag
to mock the situation as well as
Salazar.
Im mocking the Senator who
thinks a whistle is just as good a
deterrent against violent crime as a
gun, he wrote.
@SooperMexican, who is hardly
shy about his conservatism, initial-
ly launched the hashtag by tweet-
ing, Yell racist at your rapist
thats like the worst thing ever.
He continued to post similar,
strongly-worded tweets.
Pray to Obama extra hard, and
promise to have 3 abortions in his
name, he wrote.
The trending hashtag went on to
draw similar tweets, most of which
were politically charged and right
of center.
But other Twitter users
denounced the hashtag, citing its
offensiveness, a sentiment echoed
by Mother Jones, which called
#LiberalTips2AvoidRape the most
horrible hashtag of the week thus
far.
Regardless of this residual cyber-
squabble, the University of Kansas
is siding with Salazar.
Zach George, the government
relations director for KU Student
Senate, said the University strongly
opposes a concealed carry policy.
This legislation will not keep
our campus safe but may cause
more danger and more tragedies,
he said.
George added that even the pos-
sibility of a fellow student attend-
ing class with a concealed weapon
could create a distracting environ-
ment.
If someone says there is a wasp
in a huge auditorium, he said,
even if you cant see it, all attention
is diverted to that wasp.
Some policymakers say the
recent shift toward a more conser-
vative Kansas legislature may boost
the bills potential and popularity.
And along with a record high for
Kansas concealed carry permits in
January, and Kansas Students for
Concealed Carry adding a new
Kansas State University chapter,
change may be on the horizon.
In January, the state received
3,167 concealed carry applications,
nearly double the previous record,
according to the Attorney Generals
office, bringing Kansas permits to
53,317, as of Feb. 1.
In Kansas, concealed carry hold-
ers must be 21, have no felonies
and undergo a background check,
followed by eight hours of weapons
training.
That training consists of this is
how your gun operates, and dont
shoot yourself, said KU Police
Chief Ralph Oliver. The assump-
tion that that individual would act
in the manner of a trained police
officer to stop a [shooting] situa-
tion is nave at best.
Oliver said trained police offi-
cers in shooting situations will only
tend to hit 17 percent of the shots
fired at a target.
If youre an innocent bystander
or someone trying to get away from
the scene, the chances are youre
going to be in peril, he said.

MUSIC
Lawrence Bar Band plays
penultimate tour this year
Editors Note: In 1995, a small
group of members of the KU Pep
Band formed a band that played a
mix of popular songs and Kansas
tunes in bars around town. As the
band has evolved, it has gained cult
status around Lawrence. Last Friday
night, the band allowed the Kansan
to tag along on one of their bar tours.
THE SANDBAR
The line to get into The Sandbar
stretched out the door and around
Eighth Street. It was 9:30 p.m. and
the Lawrence Bar Band wouldnt
arrive for another 30 minutes. Even
with close to 11 inches of snow piled
up and slick roads, there are still
those who will come wait to see the
20-minute show.
Earlier in the week, the band
announced on Twitter that this
would be its second-to-last tour of
the year, creating a sense of urgency
among fans to spend a night out
on Massachusetts Street. Damn the
frigid weather for trying to discour-
age anyone from it.
Despite the sparse population in
the bar, the bouncer at the door was
on one-in-one-out detail, making
sure there was enough room for
the 19-piece ensemble to squeeze
through the entrance and set up
shop.
They should be on the side-
walk, the bouncer muttered under
his breath. But youd still be able to
hear them.
In 15 minutes, two tubas, two
baritones, three trombones, seven
trumpets, two mellophones and
three percussionists would gather
in the parking lot around the corner
on New Hampshire Street. While
the band members made their way
to the nights starting point, its most
senior members were inside The
Sandbar making their own prepara-
tions.
Logan Heer and Tyler Metzger
stood near the bar, turning down
drink offers from fans and tossing
back shots of Fireball Whiskey.
Its not that they didnt want the
extra alcohol. They just have trouble
making others pay for drinks when
they get them for free.
Thats the compensation for play-
ing in the Bar Band. Theres no
money changing hands, just free
admission and all the booze your
liver can take. Its all theyve ever
asked for.
Heer and Metzger have been
playing trumpet for the band for six
years now.
Ive seen some shit, Metzger
said as he downed another shot and
grabbed a beer.
Metzger started scanning the
crowd. It had thinned out a little bit,
and with three other stops to make
on the night, he began thinking of
a game plan.
Its going to be a short set, he said
to Heer. Heer nodded in agreement,
looked at his watch and ducked out
to the parking lot to rally the band as
Luke Gysel walked in the door.
Gysel doesnt play any instru-
ment, but he does drink. And as a
friend of the band, he walked up to
the bar, grabbed a beer and started
talking to Metzger.
A few minutes pass, and Heer
walked back in with a trumpet.
Were ready to go, he said to
Metzger.
Well then, pull them in, Metzger
shouted back.
On cue, Heer stuck his head out
the door and gave a long, drowned
out scream: Baaaaaaaaaaaaar
Baaaaaaaaaaand!!!!
The house music cut as the bar
erupted into cheers before anyone
even entered.
One by one, the band members
filed into the bar, making noise as
they entered.
Everywhere we go, people love
us, Gysel said as Heer grabbed a
mic and announced that, indeed,
they were the Lawrence Bar Band
before shouting, All Of The Lights.
Instantly, the band pulled itself
together and started grooving
to Kanye West. Never mind that
most of the members were playing
on beat-up brass and worn-down
drums; it was as pristine a sound as
they could hope for.
The Kanye rendition ended as
the band smoothly transitioned into
something more suitable for Kansas
students, and the medley that the
pep band plays before every basket-
ball game was being belted out as if
the band were in Allen Fieldhouse.
The band members admit they
could play the mashup in their sleep.
All the familiar songs came out to
play: The Alma Mater, The Rock
Chalk Chant, Im A Jayhawk and
a mix of Bon Jovi. The show ended
with two of the latest additions to
the set list: Macklemore and Ryan
Lewis Thrift Shop, and finally a
live Harlem Shake to cap it off.
And with the same alacrity they
entered with, the band members
dash out the door.
PACHAMAMAS
Heer was the last one to leave
The Sandbar, and he began walking
back to the New Hampshire Street
parking lot.
Every time the band tours, there
are a few designated drivers who
take them from The Sandbar to the
Kansas Student Union, where they
regroup and walk down 14th street
to Bullwinkles.
Yet the rest of the band was not
heading back to the cars just yet.
They ran into Pachamamas across
from The Sandbar for an impromp-
tu stop.
The band was already playing
Im A Jayhawk by the time Heer
enterd the door, and he wasted no
time joining in.
After playing the Alma Mater to
a bar full of fans swaying back and
forth, locked arm in arm, the band
made the same quick escape it did
from The Sandbar.
Though the bartender hailed
him for a free round, Gysel didnt
notice or seem to care. The band
was already halfway down New
Hampshire Street, still blowing their
horns and drumming like mad men
as they piled into six cars to take off
for the Union.
BULLWINKLES
As tiny as Bullwinkles is, there
was enough room for the entire
ensemble to fit comfortably, which
cant be said for the rest of the bars
inhabitants, who were backed up to
the walls and standing on tables.
As each member entered, they
were given their payments. At this
location it comes in the form of
Moose bowls and Lab Rats two
drink specials that have become
staples of the bar.
Heer took his place in the middle
of the pack and cut the dogs off their
chains.
1, 2... 1, 2, All Of The Lights,
Heer chanted, and the sequence
started over.
Heer took over the trumpet solo
during Shout in case the party
at Bullwinkles didnt feel enough
like Animal House. Yet he didnt
make it known that he was the one
playing. Instead, Gysel picked up a
trumpet, stood in front of the band
and pretended to be the one show-
ing off.
As the tempo slowed and the
horns went into The Alma Mater,
someone in the crowd poured ice
cubes onto the bass drum while it
rested sideways on top of a garbage
can. The Alma Mater reached
its climax, and as the drums came
into play, ice started flying around,
bouncing into the crowd.
Its another short set, and Heer
looked to his band, shouting for
them to leave.
Time for the Hawk, he said,
walking out the door.
As far as the crowd goes, it wasnt
the worst night at the Bull, but there
had been better. It is not a rare occur-
rence to see girls start to take their
shirts off when the band gets going.
THE JAYHAWK CAFE
The members were walking up
14th Street playing random notes
while cars were stopping to roll down
their windows and cheer for them.
The line for the Hawk stretched
out to the corner of 14th and Ohio
streets. It would be the biggest crowd
the band played for that night, and
they knew it.
Metzger was already inside pass-
ing out cans of Bud Light as the
band entered to find an impatient
crowd. Girls jumped on shoulders,
and fans shouted song requests, but
the band hardly noticed.
It all started again. First Kanye
West, then the medley, Thrift
Shop, Jovi and back to The Alma
Mater. Finally, the band began one
of its signature performances, a
short rendition of Hey Jude that
turns the coda into a barroom chant.
The band started the song with only
the horns playing. Its a sweet, soft
melody that quickly builds up when
the drums began to rumble.
Again, the crowd abused the bass
drum, this time with a waterfall of
beer. Right when the entire bar start-
ed to sing along to Na-Na-Na, the
drummers went wild, splashing Bud
Light into a tightly packed crowd.
No one seemed to mind, let alone
the drummer, who would eventually
foot the bill for a new drum head.
THE WHEEL
After leaving the Hawk, Heer lead
the band up the stairs to The Wheels
back entrance, where there is always
just enough room for the band to
fit.
As Heer predicted, the band
sounded like crap at this point. Still,
the crowd couldnt be more excited
to see them.
And as this tour wound down,
there was a picturesque scene play-
ing out.
Heer and Metzger stood back-to-
back on top of a booth rocking out
to Hey Jude on their trumpets. In
front of them, Gysel was chugging
a beer. Off to the side, Chris Carter
was banging on his snare drum while
someone from the crowd poured a
Coors into his mouth.
In a few minutes, the band mem-
bers would be outside The Wheel,
tossing snowballs at each other and
munching on slices of pizza. Soon
after, they would all go their separate
ways. The instruments would be
tucked away, and the band would
take a seven-day hiatus.
But in that moment, with Hey
Jude rocking, the crowd singing
and the band playing as hard as it
could, none of that mattered. No one
was worrying about future plans. It
was just a group of 19 band mem-
bers and Gysel standing on top
of the town.
We skip lines, we get drunk, we
play music, Metzger said. This is
as close to being a rock star as it gets
in Lawrence.

PAGE 7A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2013
Dark Skies is the kind of movie
Sunday matinees were made for, a
modestly diverting sci-f horror hy-
brid whose surfeit of ambition and
shrewd sense of pacing are sadly
undermined by the constraints of
a limited budget. Director Scott
Stewart desperately wants his flm
to combine the fraught family dy-
namics of Close Encounters of the
Tird Kind with the creeping cul-
de-sac angst of Poltergeist, yet his
reach consistently exceeds his grasp
when it comes to closing the deal.
Te flm opens in a quiet sub-
urban neighborhood, home to
Daniel (Josh Hamilton) and Lacy
(Keri Russell), an ex-yuppie couple
struggling with fnancial setbacks
while Daniel looks for a new job
afer being unceremoniously laid
of by his architecture frm. Teyre
also worried about their oldest son
Jesse (Dakota Goyo), whos been
hanging around the neighborhood
pothead (L.J. Benet) in an efort to
escape his cloying younger brother
Sammy (Kadan Rockett). Sammy,
meanwhile, has an extremely good
reason for not wanting to be lef
alone: Te poor kid is being trau-
matized by nightly visits from a sin-
ister fgure he calls the Sandman.
Predictably, no one believes little
Sammy until the Sandman makes
his presence known through a
series of increasingly aggressive
bump-in-the-night shenanigans.
You know the drill: geometrically
stacked furniture, mysterious pow-
er outages and, my enduring favor-
ite, the soundtrack-assisted spooky
face at the window gag.
All this paranormal activity
seems frustratingly familiar, at least
until a scene where three separate
focks of birds plummet from the
sky in unison, slamming through
windows like avian kamikaze pilots
and coating the outside of the fam-
ilys home with splayed, feathery
corpses. Its during this scene that
Dark Skies frst announces its in-
tention to become more than just
another run-of-the-mill shocker, a
feat it comes very close to actually
accomplishing.
Te rest of the flm benefts from
its use of body horror, as each fam-
ily member gradually loses control
of their faculties, lapsing into fugue
states that culminate in frightening
acts of self-destruction. Desper-
ate for answers, Daniel and Lacy
turn to Pollard (J.K. Simmons), the
towns resident conspiracy theorist,
who matter-of-factly informs them
that their family has been targeted
by the Greys, an interstellar race
that studies humanity with all the
passion of a scientist dissecting a
plague rat. Simmons, one of our
most invaluable character actors,
plays his big scene for all its worth,
adding a sense of self-resigned
dread to the flms fnal act.
One of the pleasant surprises
of Dark Skies is the fact that its
actors dont seem to regard them-
selves as too good for the material.
Te result is a flm that ofen feels
less like an outright horror movie
and more like a domestic drama
organically interlaced with mo-
ments of genuine shock and terror.
Russell, an actress who frst came
to my attention as the endearing
pie artisan in Waitress, brings
credible maternal rage to her role
as Lacy, especially during a scene
where she thinks Daniel has been
the one abusing their children.
Dark Skies marks a quantum
leap in quality for Stewart, the
longtime visual efects coordinator
whose only previous credits as a di-
rector were for a pair of post-apoc-
alyptic clunkers called Legion
and Priest 3D. Neither of those
flms had even an ounce of the
craf and dexterity on display here.
Hopefully hell continue to improve
with his next efort, a forthcoming
episode of the Syfy alien invasion
series Defance.
Hey, at the very least, hell know
the territory.

STARTERS
ELIJAH JOHNSON, POINT GUARD
Throw out everything you thought you knew
about Elijah Johnson because its clear hes not the
same player he was a week ago. This Elijah John-
son has a lot of swagger. This Elijah Johnson can
handle the ball. This Elijah Johnson can get on a
hot streak, and this Elijah Johnson makes Kansas
a very dangerous team.
TRAVIS RELEFORD, SHOOTING GUARD
Before Johnson took over Monday nights game,
Travis Releford kept the Jayhawks aoat. His 19
points were crucial, and on defense, he is still one
of the toughest matchups in the Big 12. Last time
Kansas met West Virginia, he was able to put up 15
points. Expect more out of him during the rematch
at Allen Fieldhouse.

The junior
center doesnt
normally start,
but he leads the
team with 9.2
points per game.
Hes shot only 30
3-pointers this
season and made
10 of them, but
he was 3-5 beyond the arc in the rst
matchup with Kansas. He was 7-15
from the eld that game and led the
team with 17 points and 7 rebounds in
the narrow 61-56 loss to the Jayhawks.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Murray
Coach Bob Huggins uses an 11-man
rotation, and all of those players have
started at least two games this season.
Perhaps because of this, the Mountain-
eers dont have a go-to scorer, but six
players average between 7.5 and 9.2
points per game. West Virginia has
struggled in its rst year in the Big 12.
It has won back-to-back conference
games only once, when it strung togeth-
er a three-game winning streak in early
February. Currently, the Mountaineers
are on a two-game losing streak.
QUESTION MARK
Will West Virginia try to emu-
late Iowa State?
When the Mountaineers and Jay-
hawks met on Jan. 28, West Virginias
big men made all four of the Mountain-
eers 3-pointers. Their guards missed
all eight of their attempts. On Monday,
the Cyclones stretched the oor by hav-
ing forward Georges Niang attempt nine
3-pointers, and they almost knocked off
Kansas. If West Virginias big men can
contribute timely outside shots, and the
guards step up and knock down their
3-pointers, the Mountaineers could stick
around longer than Kansas would like.
AT A GLANCE
Coming off an extremely emotional
overtime victory at Iowa State, Saturday
afternoons match-up with West Virginia
screams trap game. There should be
enough time passed for the Jayhawks
to come back down to earth and with
former Kansas State coach and current
Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins back
in Allen Fieldhouse, there will be plenty
of reasons for Kansas to show up.
QUESTION MARK
After an explosive 39 point perfor-
mance on Monday night the big question
is how will Elijah Johnson follow it up
against West Virginia. He will certainly
be celebrated when he takes James
Naismith Court, but how much can be
expected from him?
PLAYER TO WATCH
Ben McLemore, Guard
After his quiet-

BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF...
Kansas plays sloppily. In Morgan-
town, the Jayhawks opened up a 29-14
lead, but then turnovers let West Virgin-
ia back in the game. Kansas committed
a turnover on four straight possessions
late in the rst half and nished with
16 turnovers and only 12 assists. The
Mountaineers nished with eight assists
and only nine turnovers.
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
Kansas comes out strong and plays
solid defense for forty minutes. When
the Jayhawks took down TCU in the
Fieldhouse, Kansas coach Bill Self
griped about his teams performance in
the second half. This should be another
game the Jayhawks win handily, but
theyll need to stay consistent.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2013 PAGE 8B THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrick-
son has just nine players on her
roster at the moment, and just
three of them have the size to play
in the post.
On Wednesday night, as the
Jayhawks lost to Iowa State 83-68,
the three post players for Henrick-
son combined for 12 points, 11 re-
bounds, 4 blocks and 13 fouls. Yes,
13 fouls.
Senior forward Carolyn Davis
fouled out with two points and zero
rebounds, and fouled out afer just
18 minutes played. When Davis
has zero rebounds, the Jayhawks
chances of winning are not much
greater than zero, unless sopho-
mores Chelsea Gardner and Bunny
Williams are able to make up for
those lost rebounds, and though
Williams pulled down six of of the
bench, it was not enough.
Te Jayhawks were led in re-
bounds by the smallest player on
the roster, 5-foot-4 point guard se-
nior Angel Goodrich.
Goodrichs 21 points, nine as-
sists, seven rebounds and four steals
were not enough for the Jayhawks
to power the Jayhawks past Iowa
State. Senior Monica Engelman
provided 20 points also, but aside
from the two senior guards, there
was just not much fuel from the
rest of the Kansas players.
Kansas made runs to keep the
game close in both halves, but they
didnt have the fre power to keep
up for 40 minutes.
We were good in stretches, but
the bad stretches lasted too long,
Henrickson said. Both (Angel and
Monica) played confdently, but we
just didnt have enough around
them tonight. We really shot it and
had good rhythm (early on) and I
thought we were a lot better, but
we had too many stretches with not
much (ofense) inside and defen-
sive lapses.
Kansas made 10 3-pointers, the
most this season, but the Jayhawks
are not a team that expects to win
on the outside.
Henrickson has emphasized
many times this season that Kansas
needs to establish an ofensive post
presence above all else, and the Jay-
hawks never did establish anything
in the paint on Wednesday.
Te Cyclones had four play-
ers score in double fgures, led by
forward Chelsea Poppens with 22.
Poppens made it to the free throw
line 13 times, and made 12 of those
shots, demonstrating further just
how much the foul trouble caused
problems for Kansas.
In all, the Cyclones shot 17-of-
20 from the free throw line, with
double the opportunities that they
gave up to the Jayhawks.
Tose fouls and a lack of re-
bounding let what could have been
a valuable Big 12 road win, and a
season sweep of Iowa State, slip be-
tween Kansas hands.

Jayhawks nd foul trouble
in tough loss to Iowa State
MENS BASKETBALL WOMENS BASKETBALL
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Penn
State coach Patrick Chambers
kept saying all winter that his
team was close to winning a Big
Ten game even as the league loss-
es piled up.
Momentum fnally bounced the
Nittany Lions way on Wednesday
night against one of their tough-
est foes of the season.
Jermaine Marshall scored 25
points and hit a key layup with
1:06 lef to help Penn State roar
back from a 15-point defcit and
upset No. 4 Michigan 84-78 for its
frst Big Ten victory in more than
a year.
No wonder fans rushed the
court in delight afer the fnal
buzzer.
I was looking around. I wanted
to see our team, Chambers said
about the frenzy inside the Jordan
Center. I wanted to embrace it
and be in that moment, because
those moments dont come very
ofen.
Penn State (9-18, 1-14) had lost
18 straight regular-season Big Ten
games dating to last season. Te
teams previous conference win
came on Feb. 16, 2012, a 69-64
victory over Iowa.
It was Penn States frst win over
a top 5 team since defeating No.
5 North Carolina 82-74 in the
second round of the 2001 NCAA
tournament, and the highest-
ranked opponent that the Nittany
Lions have beaten since moving
to the Jordan Center in 1996.
Even Michigan coach John Bei-
lein was impressed.
I think what you saw tonight
is why we all love college basket-
ball, he said.
But this loss might hurt Michi-
gan as it jockeys for seeding in the
NCAA tournament. Te Wolver-
ines squandered a chance to pull
into a second-place tie in the Big
Ten with Michigan State and Wis-
consin.
Michigan was uncharacteristi-
cally sloppy with 15 turnovers in
the game, six more than its season
average.
Penn State pounced on the
mistakes.
D.J. Newbill added 17 points
for the Nittany Lions, who hit a
season-high 10 3-pointers. Mar-
shall scored 19 in the second half,
i n c l u d i n g
four 3s that
whipped the
home t own
fans into a
frenzy. But it
was his twist-
ing drive to
the bucket
late lef that
really hurt
Michigan.
Te ball teetered on the rim for
a couple of seconds before drop-
ping in, causing the Penn State
partisans to let out a collective
sigh of relief with their team up
81-78.
It was a chip play that we run.
... Coach put the ball in my hand
and he had trust in me, Marshall
said. Tat was not the kind of luck
that the Nittany Lions have been
used to, ever since leading scorer
and point guard Tim Frazier went
down with a lef Achilles injury
four games into the season.
Tey had to adjust on the fy,
with combo guard Newbill slid-
ing over to the point, and Mar-
shall needing to assume more
ball-handling duties. Chambers,
a never-say-die cheerleader, con-
vinced his team to keep fghting
through the adversity.
Tonight, its a relief. All the
hard work, practices and shoot-
arounds paid of for us, Newbill
said.
Michigans Glenn Robinson III
misfred on a 3 with 17 seconds
lef. Sasa Borovnjak (nine points)
had a memorable Senior Night,
hitting two foul shots with 15 sec-
onds lef to seal the win.
Ross Travis provided the mus-
cle up front with 15 points and
12 boards as Penn State made the
clutch plays down the stretch.
Two foul shots by Marshall
gave Penn State its frst lead since
the frst half, 76-74, with 3:55 lef.
Te Jordan Center
rocked as if it were
a Michigan-Penn
State football
game across the
street at Beaver
Stadium.
It was all Penn
State from there.
C h a m b e r s
watched as Michi-
gan fumbled away
opportunities, like when Burke
had a steal from Newbill but lost
control.
Te ball fnally bounced our
way, Chambers said. Trey Burke
strips D.J. at halfcourt and kicks
it out of bounds ... thats usually
what we do.
Midway through the second
half, Michigan controlled the lane
with dunks and cuts to the buck-
et. Long-range shooting gave the
Wolverines breathing room afer
Nik Stauskus (12 points, eight re-
bounds) and Hardaway hit 3s on
back-to-back possessions to help
build the short-lived 15-point
lead afer Penn State had drawn
within 49-45.
All fve of Michigans losses
have come on the road in the Big
Ten none worse than Wednes-
day nights defeat. Michigan fn-
ished February with a 3-4 record,
heading into a showdown Sunday
with No. 9 Michigan State.
Michigan faces worst loss
yet against Penn State
