President Barack Obama to make first visit to University on Thursday

ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK

President Barack Obama

will visit the University this
week for an event, according
to a KU News press release.
The president will come to
campus on Thursday, Jan. 22.
The press release included
a statement from Chancellor
Bernadette Gray-Little.
Our community will be
honored to welcome President Obama to the University
of Kansas, Gray-Little said.
This is an exciting time for
KU, and to welcome the President of the United States and
have an opportunity to share
our bold aspirations with him
only adds to that excitement.
This will be Obamas first
time coming to the University, after having to cancel his
first scheduled visit in April
of 2013 to attend a memorial
service after the tragic events
of the Boston Marathon.
There were no details about
the nature of his canceled
speech, but this time around,
President Obama will be at
the University two days after
his State of the Union address.
The President plans to roll

out a new tax code during

Tuesday nights State of the
Union. Major points include closing the trust fund
loophole that allow for the
wealthiest tax brackets to
avoid some taxes on inherited funds, according to a
White House press release.
Obama will be the fourth
sitting U.S. president to visit
the University. In fact, no sitting president has visited the
University since William H.
Taft in 1911.
Other U.S. presidents have
come to the University, but
only after they left office.
George H.W. Bush was the
most recent, who visited in
2008. Bush received the Dole
Leadership Prize from the
Dole Institute of Politics. He
spoke at the Lied Center, and
discussed a multitude of topics, mostly focused on his political career.
Along with former President Bush, four other presidents Harry Truman,
Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter
and Bill Clinton visited
the University after leaving
office, according to the Universitys news release.

Breathe Easy at KU is an initiative to make the University a tobacco-free campus. Current policy allows people to smoke outside 20 feet away from buildings.

Policy changes work toward

a tobacco-free campus at KU
ALICIA GARZA
@AliciaoftheUDK

Members of an initiative for

a tobacco-free campus met on
Jan. 12 to discuss proposed
revisions to the Universitys
smoking policy. Ola Faucher,
director of human resources,
moderated the meeting, which
covered the future implementation of the possible changes
and the cultural and environmental aspects of smoking.
Faucher and Ashley Hrabe, a
senior from Salina, are members of Breathe Easy at KU, the
group pushing for policy revisions. Breathe Easy is working with Student Senate and
reaching out to the student
body to see about changing the
current tobacco policy. Currently, the policy is still in the
pre-formal stage of the policy
review process.

The current policy for smoking cigarettes on campus limits

people to smoking outside and
at least 20 feet away from any
buildings. Hrabe and Faucher
wish to eliminate smoking cigarettes and electronic tobacco
products from the University
campus.
[We want to] enhance the
university, and not just for a
short time period, but in the
long-term policy to better the
institution, said Hrabe, president of Breathe Easy at KU.
We want to harness a more
respectful environment.
The negative effects of secondhand smoke is one reason
why a tobacco-free campus
would be beneficial to the
University, said Hrabe. Other
topics touched on at the meeting included environmental
consequences from smoking
as well as littering.
Faucher said it is important

This is part of a national

trend, said Faucher. Universities are thought leaders,
universities are creative in
looking for new ways to improve our community and our
world at large. There are over a
thousand universities nationwide who are moving or have

moved in the direction already

of tobacco-free.
However, some students
dont see smoking as a big deal
on campus. Courtney Menifield, a freshman from Oak
Creek, Wis., said she feels indifferent about the proposed
policy changes.
Ive never thought that
smoking on campus was an
issue, she said. I dont see cigarette butts all over the ground
or anything and I think those
who smoke are pretty respectful and dont smoke wherever
they feel like it theyre always in the designated area.
The proposed policy changes are expected to take time.
Faucher and Hrabe recognize
that not every person on campus will be happy with policy
changes, but agree that over
time the students will begin to
embrace the changes.

Business Insider recently pegged Lawrence as the

No. 1 Most Hungover Place in
America.
The article provided the
methodology that named the
25 cities, calling it the Hangover Index. The indicators for
the index, like binge drinking
and number of bars, come
from results from the Centers
for Disease Control and Preventions 2011 Behavioral Risk
Factor Surveillance System
and the Census Bureaus 2012
County Business Patterns program.
The Hangover Index then
created the Hangover Score,
the average of the percentile
rankings of the five categories,
with a theoretical range from 0
to 100.
Lawrences score was a 90.22.
Theres more to it than the
numbers, though.
We were aiming to capture
the amount of alcohol production, the availability and ease of
purchasing alcoholic beverages, and actual levels of heavy alcohol use in each metro area,
said Andy Kiersz, the author of
the article.
These factors were the highest not only in Lawrence, but
throughout the entire Midwest.
There are a few interesting
geographic patterns: Midwesterners are much more likely
than Southerners to admit on
the CDC health behavior survey that they had binge drank
in the last month, Kiersz said.
Similarly, 19 out of the top

20 metro areas with the most

bars per capita were above the
Mason-Dixon line. Whether
or not these are good things or
bad things is in the eye of the
beholder.
Some bar owners, like James
Shaffer, owner of RBar & Patio, had neither a positive or
negative reaction to the studys
findings.
My initial reaction was to
smile and laugh, Shaffer said.
As far as the number of bars
compared to the number of
residents, Im not sure it really
says much about Lawrence as a
city. In most towns with a big
college, there will be more bars.
Some students responded
with the same attitude on Twitter.
Same as I feel when Kansas
is ranked most boring state.
Its an arbitrary study that
shouldnt affect anyone, Tyler
Daniels, a sophomore from
Hutchinson, tweeted.

New business building gets $300K gift

KELLY CORDINGLY
@KansanNews

Wichita accounting and

advisory firm BKD, along
with 11 of its employees, will
donate a total of $300,000
toward the construction of
KUs new business school
building. Managing partner
at BKDs Wichita office Bill
Pickert led the fundraising
efforts.
We were impressed with the
leadership of the dean of the
School of Business, Pickert
said. We had an opportunity
to reflect our appreciation for

our own experiences at the

School of Business.
The contributing employees,
all of whom are KU business
school graduates, raised the
majority of funds. The firm
has a policy of matching
employee contributions to a
maximum of $500. Since the
firm recruits KU business
school graduates, Pickert said
it was even more important
to contribute to the new
building.
Theyre very supportive,
said Austin Falley, the
communications director for
the business school. Its good

to see them all supporting the

next 50 years of Jayhawks.
The
project
was
originally estimated to cost
$65.7 million, but has since
risen to $70 million. The
opening of the building is still
set for fall 2016, Falley said.
Pickert said the new building
will usher in a new phase of
education.
Its a new, state-of-the-art
facility that has the potential
for outstanding faculty to
come teach and top-notch
students from the Midwest
and certainly Kansas to come,
Pickert said. This project

has the potential to build the

School of Business to be even
better in years to come.
More specifically, Falley said
the openness of the building
will be conducive to a better
learning
environment.
Theyre building a sense of
community in a building,
he said. The massive atrium
is a big thing. Itll be a place
for students to engage
with both students and
faculty. Summerfield [Hall]
currently has nothing like
that. You learn so much from
community experiences. The
new sense of community will

be the most important aspect.

Pickert said his time at the
University was crucial to
the success hes had in his
personal and professional life
I met my wife at KU, so
that is an important part of
my life, he said. Additionally,
the opportunities I was given
as a student to learn what I
needed to be successful and
the networks I built with
faculty and students were
so important. I have fond
memories of my time in
Lawrence.

University names new social welfare dean

ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK

After months of searching

and
interviews,
the
University has found the
new dean of the School of
Social Welfare.
Paul
Smokowski
will begin his position
July 1. Smokowski is a
distinguished foundation
professor in child and
adolescent resilience in the
Arizona State University
School of Social Work, as
well as a research professor
in the School of Social Work
at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The Kansan spoke with
Smokowski about the job
and whats to come.
KANSAN:
What
made
you interested in taking the job at KU?

SMOKOWSKI: KUs School

of Social Welfare has a
great reputation nationally. I thought it would be an
honor to provide leadership
with such a strong faculty and contribute to both
the school as well as the
profession of social work.
Also, the research Ive done
has focused on addressing
community-based problems
with effective solutions, and
thats what theyre doing at
KU.
KANSAN: What are you most
looking forward to as dean?
SMOKOWSKI: Building on the
successes that the school
has had over the past years
with the prior deans. The
school has increased its
research capacity, international focus and more.

These are really exciting

initiatives, and Im ready
to take leadership in
expanding them further.
Im also looking forward
to helping the school get
engaged
scholarships
and broaden curriculum
interdisciplinary subjects.
KANSAN: How do you plan
to maintain the MSW program in western Kansas?
SMOKOWSKI: One of the
mandates of the program
is to produce social workers for the state in order
to improve social services,
and thats an important aspect of the School of Social
Welfare. We have to work
across the entire state, and
to support that, I want to
try and balance resources.
Most importantly, I need
to make sure we are meet-

ing every students needs.

KANSAN: Is there anything about the department you want to change?
SMOKOWSKI: Once Im in
the position, Ill bring
the faculty together and
ask them that question.
I already spoke to some of
them during the interview
process, and they would like
to see some fundraising for
a new building. Well look
at things like that and chart
direction for the school in
its years to come. We have
to make these changes
together, though. I wouldnt
do anything that the faculty
wouldnt be able to stomach.
KANSAN: What do you
think the biggest difference will be between KU
and your previous schools?

SMOKOWSKI: Well, one has

to do with what Ive seen at
KU just in my visits and in
talking with the faculty: an
incredible sense of community. Theres a kindness, togetherness thats just really
extraordinary and something that I will value greatly as I join the faculty. The
reason I say thats different
is because many high functioning schools have very
competitive staff; whether its trying to get more
funds or publications than
the next person, the faculty
members are just fighting. I
dont find that atmosphere
from my interactions at
KU. Theres a cooperation
and community that really serve the school well.

Student Senate works on

general upkeep over break
ALANA FLINN
@alana_flinn
Student Senate executive
staff was back in office
for some of winter break
completing
housekeeping
tasks to ensure everything
is in place for the upcoming
semester.
One new addition at the end
of last semester is the director
of diversity and inclusion
position.
Over break, approximately
14
applications
were
submitted, said Miranda
Wagner, student body vice
president, and applications for
the position will be accepted
through Jan. 22.
In the upcoming month,
members of the senate
committee will choose the
best candidate to fill the
position.
This is the position with
the most applicants in senates
history, said Morgan Said,
student body president. Its
a huge undertaking that will
pay off pretty immediately,
well see immense results once
the position is launched and
debuted.
Fee reviews, where Student

Senate will allocate funds to

student groups on campus
and determine how much
students pay in their campus
fee, will also take place in
February.
Said said the staff will be
allocating $24 million in
about 24 days.
For Patrick Jacquinot, the
Student Senate outreach
director, the most crucial
aspect of what hes been
working on during break
is ensuring students are
being served in the best
way possible. To do this, a
Student Climate Survey will
be disseminated to students,
which will include questions
of how Student Senate can
continue to improve student
life.
We basically want to make
sure, in the whole grand
scheme of things, were
serving students needs to the
best of our ability, Jacquinot
said.
Mitchell Cota, Student
Senate chief of staff, said this
upcoming spring semester
will be different from previous
years.
In past years, the second
semester has been known

as the lame duck season just

because the election process
can be so long and strenuous,
Cota said. Now, since the
election code is in the second
year, we have an extended
period to focus on senate
stuff.
Looking at last semester,
Wagner said Student Senate
succeeded at handling difficult
situations, which will help
form the mold of how Senate
should handle situations this
upcoming semester.
Not just Student Senate,
but also the University
experienced one of the most
tumultuous semesters Ive
seen, Wagner said. Between
the election craziness and
the sexual assault and the
discussion of race issues on
campus, it was unprecedented
everything was going to
happen. We certainly handled
the situations with grace. I
think thats an example of how
hard our senators are willing
to work to make students feel
safe. I think its going to set
the stage for what we need to
do moving forward.

Students recognize value of internships

KATHERINE HARTLEY
@kathart36

Over 1.7 million college

students are expected to
graduate with a bachelors
degree in the United States
this coming May, according
to the National Center for
Education Statistics. Because
of this number, students are
more inclined than ever to
seek out opportunities that
help them build their resumes.
Internships are one way of
standing out from the crowd of
people entering the workforce.
Internships offer valuable
experience, make students
more competitive and allow
them to be able to talk about
specific skills, University
Career Center coach Chance
Clutter said.
Victoria Kirk, a senior
from Andover, is currently
interning in New York City
for the womens magazine
Cosmopolitan and stresses the
importance of students using
internship experience to get
jobs after graduating.
Its so important to set
yourself apart from other
college graduates because
everyone is competing against
each other, Kirk said. Ive
talked to editors at Cosmo
and they say that the first
thing they look at when hiring
people is what internships they
have done.
This is Kirks second
internship and one shes
dreamed of doing since
she switched her major to
journalism two years ago.
It took her applying twice
before she actually landed
the position. She said it is
important not to give up in
the internship that you really
want to do, however you have
to work hard and take certain
steps to get there.

When I first applied I

didnt have anything on my
resume and didnt get the job
at Cosmo, so I interned for
Modern Luxurys publications
Angeleno, Brides California,
and Interiors California in Los
Angeles, Kirk said. I stalked
people, I literally went through
all 70 publications of Modern
Luxury and sent every editor
an email, begging them to let
me intern.
Kirk emphasizes on putting
yourself out there and letting
companies know that you
are interested in working for
them.
I was nervous I wouldnt
get anything out of it
because they werent huge
international magazines, but
I actually learned more [than
at Cosmopolitan] because it
was a smaller office and I was
taking on writing jobs and
covering actual events, she
said.
While she describes being
at Cosmopolitan as just
awesome, she recognizes that
she never would have gotten
there without her previous
internship.
Paige Martindell, a senior
from Topeka, could easily be
called the Queen of Interning.
She has done a total of five
internships since her freshman
year at the University, proving
that there is a way to make
it all work even with a busy
schedule.
It sounds a little insane
but one step always led to
another, and Im very thankful
for all the experience I have
gained before graduating,
Martindell said. I believe
gaining real world experience
as a college student is crucial
and I wouldnt be where I am
today without my previous
internships. I feel much more
confident when applying for

jobs and sharing my resume

with employers because I
know how much they value
previous experience from
college graduates.
After her first on-campus
brand ambassadorship with
Neebo, Youth Marketing
Connection
contacted
Martindell with an opportunity
to be a brand ambassador for
clothing brand ASOS. This
then led to her being selected
out of thousands of applicants
to be one of the companys
Global Interns and spend the
summer of 2014 traveling to
each of their five international
offices.
I built a very strong
relationship
with
Youth
Marketing Connection and
they blessed me more than I
could have ever imagined, she
said. The saying goes, Its not
what you know, but whom you
know and Ive learned that is
very true. Making connections
is key to success.
Clutter agrees, saying that
networking and talking to
people and coworkers can
help open up doors a student
hadnt even thought about.
This is also just as important
during an internship, as about
50 percent of internships turn
into full-time employment, he
said.
The University Career Center
offers multiple resources
for
students
including
connections to over 1,400
internships postings, an intern
newsletter and assistance
with creating a rsum and
practicing for an interview.
Clutter also advises students
begin applying for internships
a semester in advance, maybe
even two depending on the
field.
Develop some sort of plan
and start to do some research,
Clutter said. The more of

a focus a student has the

more they can fine-tune the
companies they want to intern
for.
The UCC hosts an internship

fair in the fall, and will be

hosting its career fair Feb.
11, which will also feature
companies looking for interns.

TIPS ON GETTING YOUR

DREAM INTERNSHIP:
CHANCE CLUTTER, UNIVERSITY CAREER CENTER COACH

Networking Connect through people you know, talk

to everyone you know about the internship you want to
do.
Use LinkedIn Network with people and see if you

Dont look past other opportunities It may take
more steps to get there in order to build a rsum and
make you more competitive for your dream internship.
PAIGE MARTINDELL, SENIOR FROM TOPEKA

Be passionate Do your research and find the

internship/job you want, and go after it.
Do your homework Educate yourself about the firm
or position so you know exactly what to say during your
interview.
Build a standout rsum and make connections

may not be exciting but always say yes. You are there
for your colleagues and managers and they will gain
respect for you if youre always willing to assist them.

FFA!!!!!!

en and women
in their early
twenties love
to talk about their wild
Saturday nights, bingewatching addictions and
scrupulous rsum building.
Rsums have become a
thing of casual conversation
and to have a perfect rsum
has become stuff of dreams.
In our society, the perfect
rsum equals the perfect
job, which equals the perfect
life. In order to accomplish
perfection, we must first
build up on job experiences,
volunteer hours, internships,
and special skills. But what
we should realize is that
our rsum is just a piece
of paper. A rsum is a
representation and a fraud,
and Ill give you two reasons
why.

First, completing finely

selected activities that
pack a lot of punch in 100
characters encourages
service and participation
for all of the wrong reasons.
When people say things
like, I love working with
underprivileged children and
it looks good on my rsum,
too what I really hear is, I
do things because I know
that it looks good, not
because its the right thing
to do. Rsum building
has made it acceptable for
a person to participate in
an activity solely for the
perception and reputation
it builds, not for any sort
of benevolent intent. Our
activities, internships and
jobs should be motivated
by sincerity rather than
falsehoods.
Second, rsum building
leaves no time for passion
building. While we are
off pursuing random
extracurriculars, our real
dreams and passions are
waiting for realization.
We spend all of our time
building rsums with

cookie cutter activities, but

we forget about what makes
us tick. We forget about
what makes us happy and
what really drives us. If we
forget what motivates us,
then we forget our purpose.
No employer, colleague, and
certainly no friend, desires
a person who focuses on the
surface, so why should our
actions focus on a piece of
paper?
Clothes-pinned to an old
lamp in my living room is
a quote from writer Allen
Saunders. In plain block
letters it reads, Life is
what happens while we are
making other plans. Well,
life is also what happens
when you are out building
your rsum. It is time to
stop caring how our lives
and goals look on paper
and open ourselves up to
the realness of living with
purpose. Forget the rsum
and resume your life.

ts syllabus week: a
week for students to
ease back into the
school routine and reunite
with friends. But most
importantly, students have
a clean slate to start the
semester. It is the week
when students are given
a preview into what their
semester is going to be
like, and it should be taken
seriously.
Academically, it is one of
the most important weeks
in the semester, though
many students choose to
spend the week partying or
skipping class. We view the
week as a freebie to relax
and hangout with friends.
Syllabus week has the
reputation of being a major
party week in large campus
schools. Many students
choose to go out to parties
or bars, which can result in
students skipping class the
following day. This routine
starts students off on the
wrong foot.
This syllabus week should
be different. Students should
take this first week seriously
because it can affect the rest
of your semester. If students
dont know their professors,
skip class, or choose to not
care about their classes,
then eventually, it will be
reflected in their grades.

One of the most

important things to avoid
is skipping class. Although
students may be used to
sleeping in over winter
break, it is time to get back
into the school routine.
However, in the first few
days, students are given the
expectations of each course.
If these initial classes are
skipped, students are taking
the risk of not knowing
what to expect throughout
the entire semester.
Another vital reason to
take syllabus week seriously
is because it is the first
time students can meet
their professors. Use this
week to your advantage
and personally introduce
yourself to each of your
professors. This will allow
students to have a better
relationship with their
instructors and become
knowledgeable about their
expectations.
Students should set this
first week aside to prepare
for the upcoming semester.
That means buying
textbooks, filling out their
calendar with important
dates, and reading the
syllabus sheets.
The first week of school is
more than just finding the
right classroom or meeting
professors. It is a chance
for students to choose
how their semester will be.
Syllabus week should be
taken just as seriously as
finals week.

Governments should embrace free trade

John Olson
@JohnOlsonUDK

You may have seen this

image before: a satellite
image of the Korean
Peninsula at night. The
southern half is blanketed
in light, while the northern
half is almost completely
dark. What causes this stark
difference? A good chunk of
it may be attributed to one
topic: free trade (or the lack
thereof).
South Korea has mostly
embraced free trade and
has grown by leaps and
bounds, while North Korea
has not, resulting in an
underdeveloped nation
shrouded in darkness.
The Korean Peninsula is
an important case study of
the benefits of free trade
or when trade barriers
are eliminated and the
dangers of protectionism,
which is the opposite. This
example and statistical

analysis enforce an ironclad

rule among economists:
Countries that trade
become wealthy and
developed, while countries
that do not become poor and
stagnant.
But why does this happen?
For one, free trade promotes
competition, which ensures
that consumers get higher
quality products for lower
prices. On the other hand,
protectionism discourages
innovation taxing
consumers with higher
prices despite lower-quality
products. Second, free trade
forces nations to embrace
their comparative advantage,
causing them to use their
resources well.
For example, the United
States has a skilled
workforce, so our economy
is based on high-tech design
and services. China, with its
large labor force, excels at
manufacturing.
This all sounds wonderful,

so why do citizens
sometimes rally against
free trade? People may
be concerned about the
exploitation of developing
countries, as evidenced by
support for advocacy groups
such as Global Exchange.
However, every single
country has gone, is going,
or will go through a period
where conditions may be
considered exploitative. In
China, many factories have
employees working long
hours in poor conditions.
The entire society was
previously agrarian, and
today, a strong middle class
is emerging. Even the United
States went through the
same process in the early
20th century, recalled by
photos of workers in textile
mills. Free trade enables
people to accumulate human
capital and governments to
accrue revenue to invest in
infrastructure, both of which
improve our lot from the

previous poor state.

Free trade can also bring
concern about U.S. jobs
being shipped overseas.
This argument arises
from a selfish and flawed
perspective. For starters,
many of the countries that
American jobs move to
could use those jobs a lot
more than we could. We
enjoy a comfortable standard
of living in the United States,
and it is self-centered to
deny job opportunities to
someone in, say, Mexico,
where the average income
is less than half of the U.S.
poverty line, according
to the Organization for
Economic Co-operation and
Development.
Not only that, but many
jobs that move abroad are no
longer to our comparative
advantage. According to
The New York Times, textile
jobs have been fleeing our
shores for years, and rightly
so. Such a labor-intensive

activity is better suited in

Southeast Asia, and this
movement frees up resources
for the United States to
focus on what we can do
better, like curing diseases
and designing airplanes,
shown by the job growth in
these areas during the Great
Recession, according to The
New York Times.
Governments should not
force higher prices on its
citizens in exchange for
lousy products. Neither
should they prop up failing
industries that no longer
serve people well, nor
condemn nations to live in
poverty and remain chained
to poor conditions. Our
generation prides itself on
open mindedness, and we
must go a step further by
opening our borders to free
trade.

Traveling abroad: A students

ventures in Vietnam

ADAM JAMIESON
@senorjamieson

In the past week I have

taken a boat trip into territory identical to that from
Apocalypse Now, been
inside two massage parlors
one legitimate, one not so
much sustained third-degree burns on both feet
during a soccer game with a
group of orphans, and had a
bartender actually take my
word for it when I said I was
of legal drinking age.
I was fortunate enough to
be able to spend a portion
of my winter break in Ho
Chi Minh City, Vietnam
directly on the opposite
side of the planet from our
University. My mom has
traveled there for business
somewhat frequently over
the last few years, and she
finally racked up enough
frequent flyer miles that I
was able to join her on her
latest excursion.
Every day while I was
there, I would venture out
of my hotel room on some
type of adventure that
would ultimately place me
in some awkward position
that I would subsequently
have to figure my way out
of. In one such situation I
had to explain to a man why
Wal-Marts wages are unfair
to employees in America.
In another I spent three
hours finding my way home
on foot after blowing all
my cash on knock-off NBA
jerseys for my roommates.
Vietnam is just about the
only place Ive ever visited
where no one succeeded, or
even attempted, to pick my
pockets.
Visiting Vietnam was a
refreshing break from the
cold weather that so traditionally plagues our campus
at this time of the year, but
I have enjoyed another type
of break as well. Although
I always find my fellow KU
students to be entertaining,
friendly and intelligent, this
short period of travel has
been enough to remind me
that there are many other
types of equally valuable
people who share this
planet with us. Too often it
seems as though my fellow
students and I start to forget
our outside surroundings
and begin to operate under
the pretense that our campus, state or even country is
our whole world.
I would encourage you
to look beyond the narrow
scope of our little world in
Lawrence. Indulge whatever
natural hunger you possess
to see beyond the confines
of your upbringing and
venture into the ultra-massive world of unique sights,
scents and people of an
entirely new landscape.

From the best sci-fi blockbusters to the most affecting

indies, edge-of-your-seat
thrillers to fistpumping action movies,
hilarious mysteries to psychological dramas heres
my list of the 10 best films of
2014, from worst to best.
10. Interstellar
Christopher Nolan reaches
beyond our galaxy with outof-this-world ambition in
his most human movie, Interstellar. The love between
a father, Cooper (Matthew
McConaughey), and his
daughter, Murphy (Mackenzie Foy), connects through
space and time as Cooper
searches another galaxy for
a way to save humanity. The
science of wormholes, black
holes, space travel, relativity and more piques the
intellect, while the personal
cost of leaving family and

the world behind grabs at

the heart. The vastness of
space, enormous natural
dangers, and the fight for
survival forge eye-popping
visceral excitement, then
Interstellar finishes on a
mind-blowing realm thats
comparable to 2001: A
Space Odyssey.
9. Dawn of the Planet of the
Apes
Wow this franchise
sure got back on top of its
game. Dawn of the Planet
of the Apes realizes its own
stunning visual world and
has a straightforward yet
engrossing sense of philosophy. The arresting story
thrives with spectacular set
pieces. The apes are breathtakingly animated with more
emotion to invest in than the
humans. Most notably, this
movie even has an ape dual-wielding machine guns on
horseback, firing at humans
during a slow-motion gallop
through flames what more
could you want?
8. Inherent Vice
Paul Thomas Anderson insists on challenging
audiences with his films,

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY/MARVEL STUDIOS

and with Inherent Vice,

he brings us a 1970s set,
hippie-infested, subtly surreal detective comedy thats
like the more mysterious,
intentionally confusing, extra
verbose cousin of The Big
Lebowski. Joaquin Phoenix
hysterically plays stoner P.I.
Doc Sportello, navigating a
web of oddball characters as
he tries to get to the center of
some convoluted conspiracy
(which might just be his own
paranoid delusions). The
mystery unravels with a topnotch ensemble and impressive long takes, absorbingly
deliberate storytelling and a

cult appeal that gets funnier

the more you slide onto its
level.
7. Nightcrawler
Jake Gyllenhaal gives
the best performance of
his career as pitch-perfect
sociopath Lou Bloom, an
apathetic loner with a calling
in L.A. TV news as a cameraman who races to grisly
crime scenes and films the
carnage. Lous moral degradation progresses from just
witnessing gruesome scenes
to playing a part in them to
get a better story. He crosses
all ethical boundaries, which

makes for a riveting, and

deliriously twisted, journey.
The last act rockets forward
with explosive propulsion,
ready to detonate at any
moment as the enthralling
danger builds into a final,
adrenaline-jolting, high-octane car chase through the
hazy, expansive streets of late
night Los Angeles.
6. Guardians of the Galaxy
Marvel does a superhero
spectacle in space with a
rollicking sense of Star

15 album releases to look forward to in 2015

Ryan Wright
@ryanwaynewright

Many consider 2014 an

underwhelming year for music due to delayed releases,
albums not living up to hype,
and other miscellaneous
issues. If everything goes as
planned, however, 2015 may
shape up to be one of the
greatest years for music in
recent memory.
Here are 15 albums you
should keep your eye on in
this upcoming year.
Kanye West TBA
Kanye West has been
working on his upcoming
album for a while, but on
New Years, West released the
first single to his currently
untitled album. Only One,
featuring Paul McCartney, is
a song from the perspective
of Wests late mother, Donda
West, talking to him. Not
much else is known about
Wests seventh solo album,

but all signs are pointing to a

spring 2015 release.
A$AP Rocky TBA
A$AP Rockys debut album,
Long.Live.A$AP was met
with generally positive
reviews. After two years,
Rocky is finally delivering a
follow-up. In October, he released his first single, Multiply, to his currently untitled
album, and on New Years
Eve he released his second
single, Lord Pretty Flacko
Jodye. Though there is no
official release date for his
album, fans should definitely
expect it to drop sometime in
the coming months.
Death Grips Jenny Death
Death Grips is an experimental band that borrows
sound from hip-hop, rock,
and EDM. In 2014, the band
shocked its fans when they
announced that they would
be splitting up. However,
Death Grips promised one

last album, Jenny Death,

to be released Feb. 10 before
they break up. The groups
music is known to push the
boundaries and this album
should be no different.
Radiohead TBA
Legendary rock band Radiohead will return in 2015
with their ninth studio album. The band has reportedly been in the studio crafting
their album for a few months
now. But much like other
artists on this list, the album
is currently untitled and not
much else is known about it,
other than the fact that its in
progress.
Grimes TBA
2012 was a great year for
Canadian singer-songwriter
and producer, Grimes. Her
third studio album, Visions, was met with much
critical acclaim. This year,
she will release her currently
untitled album. Originally

titled Go, Grimes received

disappointing reactions to
the first single, and decided
to scrap the entire album and
start over. Grimes act of perfectionism should excite fans
for whats to come in 2015.
Drake Views from the 6
Drake announced his
fourth album, Views From
the 6, shortly after the
release of his third album,
Nothing Was the Same.
In a time when record sales
are hard to come by, Drake
seems to go platinum with
ease. Theres no release date
for this album yet, but based
on his previous album releases, fans should expect an
album in the fall.
Adele TBA
In 2011, Adele took the
world by storm with her
chart-topping hit Rolling
in the Deep. Her sophomore album, 21, was also
met with generally positive

reviews. Adele won big at

the 2012 Grammy Awards
Ceremony, taking home six
of the coveted awards. After
four long years, Adele will
be returning in 2015 with a
follow-up to 21. Theres no
release date set in stone, but
fans should expect the album
this fall.
Kendrick Lamar TBA
In 2012, Kendrick Lamar
released good kid, M.A.A.D
city and many considered
it an instant classic. Last
fall, Lamar released his first
single, i, to his currently
untitled sophomore album.
The song is surprisingly
cheerful in comparison to
the dark undertones of his
debut album, which throws
off some fans. Lamars label
is known for pushing back
albums, but expect a drop
sometime in 2015.

Cosby takes stage despite

protest over assault claims
THOMAS PEIPERT
Associated Press

DENVER About 100

people chanting Rape is not
a joke! and No means no!
protested outside a theater in
Denver before comedian Bill
Cosby took the stage on Saturday, but his performance
night went on without a disturbance.
Earlier in the day, a woman
held a news conference at a
nearby hotel to accuse him
of sexually assaulting her in
1986.
Beth Ferrier said during the
gathering called by Los Angeles attorney Gloria Allred

that Cosby put drugs in her

coffee when she went to see
one of his shows in Denver.
I cannot tell you how horrific of a feeling that is, she
said, adding that the next
thing she remembered was
waking up hours later in the
back of her car practically
naked.
Ferrier, 55, has said previously she was assaulted by
Cosby. She went public on
June 23, 2005, alleging that as
a model visiting New York in
the early 1980s, she met Cosby and they had a brief affair.
The 77-year-old comedian is facing sexual assault
accusations from at least 15

women, with some of the

claims dating back decades.
He has denied the allegations
through his attorney and has
never been charged with a
crime. A statement from
Cosbys publicist was not immediately available Saturday
night.
Cosby was welcomed to the
stage during his first show
with a standing ovation and
hoots of We love you Bill!
He did not make any reference to the allegations during
the two-hour-long show.
The Denver Post reported
that the entertainer also received a standing ovation at
his second show.

Debate team continues success with No. 1 ranking

TIM MCGINNIS
@tim_mcginnis

The
University
debate
team has won five national
championships
and
is
continually viewed as one of
the best debate programs in the
country. This year is no different
as the team is currently ranked
No. 1 in the nation.
Recent tournaments in
California and Texas had
nine different Kansas debate
pairings that made it to the
elimination round. Partners
Jyleesa Hampton, a senior
from Overland Park, and
Quaram Robinson, a freshman
from Round Rock, Texas, took
second place at a tournament
at the University of Southern
California. Kansas also has two
individual teams ranked among
the top 25 in the country.
We have a deep team and
lots of talented debaters, which
is reflected in the national
rankings, said coach Scott
Harris.

This years team consists of

26 undergraduate students and
nine graduate students. Most of
the debaters competed in high
school and all competed in the
varsity division once arriving
to college.
In order to compete at such
a high level, Harris said the
typical debater spends about
20 hours a week researching,
working with coaches, and
going over debate strategies.
Each debater also travels
four to five times a semester
to tournaments all over the
country.
The average successful
debater treats it like a part-time
job, Harris said.
Although the team spends
a lot of time traveling and
practicing for debate, many of
the team members are involved
in other organizations and
extracurricular activities such
as Greek Life and student
government.
Some of them hold parttime jobs and a lot of them

coach high school debate

teams, Harris said. They tend
to be very active students.
Harris said in order to deal

with the stress of debate,

school and work, the team
plays pickup basketball games
and goes bowling on Sunday
nights. Some members of the
team were able to attend a
Kansas basketball game while
they were away at a tournament
in Waco, Texas.
Debate team vice president
Ciera Foreman, a senior
from Overland Park, said
all members of the team are
close and do their best to

schedule team activities when

they travel to tournaments.
She said at a tournament in
California a lot of the team
went to Huntington beach after
competing. Foreman said they
also have a team Christmas
party and an end-of-the-year
picnic.
KU is known by other debate
teams as the team that is really
close, which is unique because
its not like that at a lot of other
schools, Foreman said.
These debate topics are
assigned to each debate
program at every college.
Throughout the year each
tournament will consist of
debates arguing different
aspects of the assigned topics.
Prior to the fall debating
season, each school votes for a
specific topic they would like to
debate and the winning topic
is then used throughout the
entire year.

2015 Debate Topic:

The United States should
legalize all or nearly all of the
following in the United States:
1. Marijuana
2. Online gambling
3. Physician-assisted suicide
4. Prostitution
5. The sale of human organs

KU Public Safety Office to receive new body cameras

KATHERINE HARTLEY
@KansanNews

This year, every officer at

the KU Public Safety Office
will be equipped with his or
her own body camera, due
to an allocation of funds by
the Student Senates Safety
Advisory Board.
The funds allow for an
additional 16 cameras for
the force, bringing the total
number of cameras to 24.
The Public Safety Office
has had a smaller set of
eight cameras since August
2014, each costing $900. At
the beginning of this school
year, Chief of Police Ralph
Oliver said the goal in using
the body cameras was to

have an accurate record of

what occurs, and to allow for
training of officers on the types
of encounters and behaviors
that are acceptable when
dealing with the community.
Since then the body cameras
have come in use with certain
cases.
We have had cases where
the city prosecutor and the
district attorneys office has
asked for the footage the
officer recorded on the body
worn camera, said Captain
James Anguiano of the KU
Public Safety Office.
Garrett Farlow, chairman of
the SSAB, said body cameras
are another way for students
to feel at ease on campus.
It definitely has an effect

on helping students feel safer

because they know that the
actions that are being taken
are being recorded, said
Farlow, a sophomore from
Tecumseh. It helps with the
professional development of
the Public Safety Office and
holds officers accountable
when doing their jobs.
In addition to more cameras,
the department has also added
new technology that allows
the body cameras to actually
connect with the officers car
and dashboard camera, which
have been in use for 20 years.
We recently added a Digital
Ally VU Link. What this link
does is allow the officer in
the patrol car, that when he
activates the emergency lights

in the car, the body camera

goes into record mode. One
of the benefits to this feature
is that both cameras are

Safety Office and holds
officers accountable when
doing their jobs.
GARRETT FARLOW
SSAB chairman

recording and the officer

doesnt have to push each
record button manually,
Anguiano said.

Farlow said he believes the

biggest takeaway from all this
is that each officer will now
have and be responsible for
their own camera, as opposed
to the handful that were
shared when the department
began using them five months
ago.
We are really looking
forward to seeing how it
goes, Farlow said.
As for the future, Captain
Anguiano said the Public
Safety Office is looking into
being able to wirelessly
download video from the
patrol car and into the video
storage unit, which will save
patrol officers time spent
switching out media cards.
The SSAB also has more

plans for campus safety

improvement aside from
the funding of the body
cameras, Farlow said. This
includes an expansion of the
already substantial network
of security cameras around
campus as well as a student
safety app. The board will
be holding a session on
Friday at noon in the English
Room of the Union in order
to get feedback from students
on what they want to see in a
student safety app.
We are tasked with
responding and evaluating
student safety at KU, Farlow
said. It should be at the
forefront of the University.

Wars adventure with a

much better sense of humor
and the result is pure
awesome. All five members
of the ragtag crew of rogues
bring unique ingredients
with their own zesty flavor to
this perfectly paced, visually
splendorous joyride. The
action thrills, the comedy is
memorably hilarious and the
wonder Guardians of the
Galaxy provides makes you
feel like a kid again. Theres
enough heart to hit your soft
spot too, especially with the
lovable tree-man Groot.

Tame Impala TBA

Tame Impala will be releasing its third album sometime
in 2015. The psychedelic rock
band is influenced by music
of the 1960s and 1970s. In
2012, the band released its
second album, Lonerism
and was met with positive
reviews from critics and fans
alike. Along with nearly every other album on this list,
theres no release date yet.

5. Boyhood
Boyhood is a remarkable
experience, not just because
it was filmed over the course
of 12 years allowing you
to see the family onscreen
literally grow up but because rather than feeling like
a movie or a documentary,
it feels like real life. The film
is like watching memories of
your entire adolescence play
out in front of you. Every
segment is utterly relatable,
whether you see yourself, or
someone you knew, in the
various moments, they all
ring true. Additionally, its a
comprehensive pop culture
nostalgia trip, naturally incorporating cultural
signifiers from each year to
sublime effect. And while the
third act gets a bit too angsty
for its own good, its just
mirroring reality.
4. Whiplash
Have you ever noticed the
blazing power of a drummer
in his element, playing on a
more gripping performance
level than the rest of the
band? Whiplash turns
that vivacity into the most
intense thriller of the year:
a battle at a relentless music
conservatory between a
young drummer (Miles Teller) striving to be one of the
jazz greats and the scariest,
most ferociously merciless

THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL/AMERICAN EMPIRICAL PICTURES

teacher (J.K. Simmons) in

cinema history. It sharply
captures the harsh cost and
resounding drive required
to become the best. Fiercely
edited as the violent tension
climbs in each fiery confrontation, Whiplash culminates in a nerve-shattering
14-minute finale that will
knock you out.
3. The Grand Budapest Hotel
Wes Anderson crafts his
own playhouse of endearing
quirks, heartfelt storytelling,
vibrant visual style and a
giant ensemble of enjoyable actors in his best film
yet. The detailed narrative
follows a prestigious hotels
magnificent concierge (a
whimsical Ralph Fiennes)
and his lobby boy proteg
embroiled in a wild adventure after stealing a famous
painting and impeding a
villainous familys pursuit of
their vast inheritance. Its a
quick-witted and hilarious
romp at every turn that feels
like a beloved storybook for
adults brought to exuberant
life. No film in 2014 offered
as much unadulterated fun
as The Grand Budapest
Hotel.
2. Gone Girl
The institution of marriage

1. The Raid 2
Calling The Raid 2 one
of the greatest action
movies ever undersells the
heart-racing achievement of
this Indonesian martial arts
masterpiece. Taking shape
as a sprawling (and sleekly
satisfying) crime syndicate
epic, its populated by vividly
memorable baddies and an
unstoppable undercover cop
fighting his way through
them with devastating speed
and brutality. The astonishingly staged, unflinching
action sequences make your
eyes widen and stomach
tighten, reaching unthinkable levels of exhilaration
with whirlwinds of violence
that elicit more shouts of

Chance the Rapper and the

Social Experiment Surf
Since the 2013 release of
the universally acclaimed
Acid Rap, Chance the Rapper has been experimenting
with his sound quite a bit.
He has moved away from the
soulful sounds of Acid Rap
to a much more experimental style which has received
mixed reviews from critics
and fans. Despite the underwhelming tracks Chance has
released thus far, fans should
have high hopes the new

project. Expect this to release

in the coming months.
The xx - TBA
Jamie xx TBA
After The xxs stellar 2012
album, Coexist, the xx is
currently in studio working
on its third studio album.
The indie pop group is
known for its minimalistic
sound and fans should expect the album in 2015.
Jamie xx, a member of the
band, has recently announced that hed have a solo
album in 2015, along with
The xxs upcoming album.
Lil Wayne Tha Carter V
To be blunt, Lil Wayne
hasnt been that good of a
rapper over the past few
years. His lyrics were once
filled with clever punchlines
and metaphors, but recently
theyve been lazy and uninspired. Shortly after Tha
Carter V was announced,
Wayne tweeted that he was
going to be taking rap seriously and try harder with his

music. In 2014, Wayne had a

great year and proved he still
had it, releasing great singles
such as Believe Me and
DUsse. Despite a recent
label dispute, Tha Carter
V is still schedule to release
sometime in 2015.
Purity Ring TBA
The electronic Canadian
duo, Purity Ring, is hard at
work on a new album. The
pair has already released
the first single to the album,
Push Pull, and the album
is on track to be released in
early 2015.
Frank Ocean TBA
We havent heard much
from Frank Ocean since
his 2012 debut Channel
Orange, but hes reportedly
been in the studio working
on an upcoming album.
Theres very little known
about the album as of now,
other than that its expected
to drop in 2015.

Kansas lawmakers hope for medical pot progress

BILL DRAPER
Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. Kansas

could become the 24th state
in the U.S. to legalize medical
marijuana or the 50th.
Either way, a state senator
believes there will come a
time when people across the
country will be able to find
some legal relief from their
chronic illnesses by smoking
cannabis.
Sen. David Haley, a Kansas
City Democrat, and his
counterpart in the House,
Democratic Rep. Gail Finney
of Wichita, have introduced
medical marijuana measures
every year since 2009, but
none has ever gone beyond
informational hearings, in
which no action can be taken.
This year, Haley thinks that
might change.
I think the ice is beginning
to thaw regarding the
reasonableness of the issue
among the leadership of the
Legislature, he said.
And Finney, who has
undergone chemotherapy for
lupus, thinks the bill will at

least get a hearing after being

brushed aside by Republican
leadership for so many years.
Passing, I dont know about
that, she said.
The chairman of the House
Health and Human Services
Committee,
Rep.
Dan
Hawkins, said he is waiting
to see what the Senate does
with the medical marijuana
issue.
Nobodys come and really
pushed it, the Wichita
Republican said, adding that
hes heard very little from his
constituents about it.
House Speaker Ray Merrick,
a Stilwell Republican, said
the issue isnt on his list of
priorities.
Ive got a lot of other things
on my radar screen that are a
lot more important, he said.
Both measures SB9 and
HB2011 would create
compassion centers where
qualifying patients with
a registry identification
card could legally obtain
marijuana.
Currently 23 states and
the District of Columbia
have
legalized
medical

marijuana, while its legal in

four states Colorado and
Washington, initially, and
Oregon and Alaska this year
to use pot recreationally.
Informational hearings are
scheduled for Wednesday
and Thursday in the Senates
Public Health and Welfare
Committee to hear from both
supporters and opponents of
medical marijuana.
At the first informational
hearing in 2010, most of the
Republicans on the House
Health and Human Services
Committee said they had
other commitments and got
up and left before testimony
began, Finney said.
During the next one in 2012,
the committee chairwoman
walked in with security
guards with the perception
there would be a bunch of
druggies, Finney said. To
assume that its only for the
shoddiest people and strictly
for a recreational front, thats
absolutely ludicrous.
About 50 people attended
a medical marijuana rally
Thursday at the Statehouse
sponsored by Haley, Finney

and groups advocating for

their bills.
Jon Hauxwell, a retired
Hays physician, said he
thinks public opinion is
shifting away from baseless
charges that cannabis is
toxic. He said its clear that
the states current approach
criminalizing marijuana
and incarcerating casual
users isnt working.
All over the country
we are seeing a gradual
acknowledgment
of
the benefits of rational
approaches, Hauxwell said.
He also said with the states
budget problems, medical
marijuana also represents
a new potential source of
tax revenue. That wouldnt
eliminate
the
budget
problem, but it certainly
would make a bit of a dent in
it, he said.
Esau Freeman, a Wichita
resident and president of the
pro-medical marijuana group
Kansas for Change, said
the proposal is far different
than laws in Colorado and
California.
No pot doctors. No

said Freeman, who thinks

a floor debate is possible

this year. I feel the tide is
changing.

City to consider proposal for downtown grocery store

ANDREW COLLINS
@KansanNews

For the first time in more

than 30 years, downtown
Lawrence may have a fullline grocery store. The
former Borders bookstore
location, according to a
new study by A. Townsend
Peterson,
a
University
distinguished professor at
the Biodiversity Institute, is
the best downtown location
to put a grocery store.
This stores Seventh and
New Hampshire location

would serve most of North

Lawrence and the Pinckney
neighborhoods, which have
been known as food deserts.
A food desert is defined as
an area that does not have a
grocery store within a 1-mile
radius, or is beyond a threeminute drive from a grocery
store.
According
to
David
Crawford, a community
organizer running for city
commissioner, this presents
problems for those areas that
go far beyond distance issues.
The impact of a healthy diet

is harder to come by when a

grocery store is so far away.

Its the closest weve been

in over 30 years to making
this happen. There have been
several attempts, but this is
the closest.
DAVID CRAWFORD
Community organizer

This

issue

cant

be

ignored, Crawford said.

The proposed grocery
store would bring most of
the North Lawrence and
Pinckney neighborhoods in
a three-minute drive of the
new store.
The
other
proposed
location at 11th and
Massachusetts
does
not cover most of these
neighborhoods and overlaps
with areas that are already
covered by the Dillons at
19th and Massachusetts
streets.
Despite
the
second

proposed location, Crawford

said he is sure the Borders
building will become a
grocery store soon.
Were very close to putting
a grocery store in and we
are fighting hard for that to
happen, Crawford said.
The city of Lawrence is
in conversation with Lewis
Foods, which owns the
Checkers supermarket chain,
about putting in a store in the
Borders building. The only
other challenge for the city
is to make sure the current
owners of the Borders site are

ready to sell the building and

are keeping it reserved for a
grocery store.
Our goal is to protect the
site, Crawford said.
According to Crawford, the
current proposal for a grocery
store in downtown Lawrence
is closer to becoming a reality
than it ever has been.
Its the closest weve been
in over 30 years to making
this happen. There have been
several attempts, but this is
the closest, Crawford said.

Jackie Kennedy Onassis items auctioned for $28,400

JENNIFER KAY
Associated Press

MIAMI

A
few
dozen pieces of personal
correspondence by Jacqueline
Kennedy Onassis, along with
photographs of the former first
lady in Palm Beach, sold at a
Florida auction Saturday for a
total of $28,400.
The items up for bidding at
Palm Beach Modern Auctions
included Onassis handwritten
notes to interior designer
Richard Keith Langham and
Bill Hamilton, then the design
director at Carolina Herrera.
Onassis corresponded with
both men about clothes and
furnishings she was buying
from the mid-1980s through
her death in 1994.
Letters written by Onassis
rarely appear at auction, and
the auction house fielded
tremendous interest in the
roughly 20 lots available, said
co-owner Wade Terwiller.
When we hold auctions of
art and furniture, you dont see
people engaging in dialogue at
the preview. This was different.
People wanted to comment on
her clothes and recall where
they were and what was going
on when Jackie appeared in a
particular outfit, he said.
Potential bidders related
to Onassis thoughts on her
personal style, which included
detailed instructions on how
she wanted her jackets and

pants to fit and pleas for

more color in her wardrobe,
Terwiller said.
In one note Onassis wrote
to Hamilton, along with her
own sketch of a pant suit, she
said: I just love this suit & will
wear it everywhere as I am SO
sick of everyone constantly in
black like Mediterranean
villages where everyone is in
mourning for 20 years.
One of the women at the
preview was reading that note
and said, I know what she
meant about black. Im sick
of seeing black, too, and Im
from that generation. People
really connected with Jackie,
Terwiller said.
The auction house says 1,100
people offered bids by phone,
online and in person. Coowner Rico Baca had expected
bidding to start from $800 to
$1,200 for each lot.
Fetching the highest bid
was a book about Onassis
restoration of the White
House, which she signed for
Langham. It sold for $4,575.
What fun it would have
been to work with you then,
Onassis wrote to Langham in
an accompanying note on her
signature blue stationery.
A pair of black-and-white
photographs of Onassis by
society photographer Bob
Davidoff, who spent decades
as the Kennedy familys
photographer in Palm Beach,
sold for $2,200.

COMMENTARY
Young Jayhawks
couldnt handle
Hilton Magic

RUN OVER

Kansas cant stop loud Iowa State in transition, suffers first Big 12 loss, 86-81
Graham, the Jayhawks had
whittled the double-digit
Cyclone lead to two as
you had expected them to
do, perhaps.
Hilton Coliseum, which
had seen these same hopes
obliterated before time and
time again by the crimson
and blue, was on edge
as groans replaced cheers,
which had replaced boos.
But thats when Iowa
State ran. And thats when
Kansas couldnt keep up.
We ended up sending
three back, Kansas coach
Bill Self said of Iowa States
fast-paced attack. But
unfortunately, two of three
couldnt seem to remember
to get back.
Six-foot-nine
forward
Jameel
McKay,
with
dreadlocks proportional in
length to his limbs, knifed
past Kansas defenders,
took the pass from Monte
Morris, and flushed it.
Kansas would respond,
however.
Oubre slammed one
himself again a minute
later on an offensive board.
The drawback he failed
to get back on defense.
Not five seconds after,
McKay was airborne again
for another easy two.

DAN HARMSEN

Blair Sheade

@RealBlairSheady

hen asked about

how the younger
guys played in the
hostile environment of Hilton
Coliseum, Kansas coach Bill
Self said terrible.
I dont think we played well
at all, Self said. I think the
environment got into our mind
where we didnt focus and
execute very well.
The Hilton Magic got the best
of freshmen Cliff Alexander and
Kelly Oubre, Jr. as No. 9 Kansas
(14-3, 3-1) suffered its first
Big 12 loss of the season, losing
86-81 to No. 11 Iowa State
(14-3, 3-1) on Saturday night.
Both freshmen have played
a pivotal role for the Jayhawks
this season, but tonight, neither
of them had a game-changing
performance.
Oubre scored 10 points as his
final stat line, but before the
14-minute mark in the second
half, he was held scoreless.
The biggest surprise was
the lack of playing time for
Alexander.
Alexander, who averages 18
minutes per game, played 14
minutes, the least amount of
minutes hes played during
conference play. Self said Alexanders motor on defense was
the reason Alexander sat on the
bench for 26 minutes.
The motor was a problem
because Alexander was left to
guard Iowa States three-point
shooting forward Georges
Niang, who averaged 34 percent
from beyond the arc before this
game. Alexander couldnt keep
up with Niang.
When youre guarding a guy
thats active on the perimeter,
you have to at least close out
or be in his face or do some
things to try to guard him, Self
said. [Alexander] wont play
consistently unless he plays with
a motor.
Self said he refers to his whole
team as young, and thought
they all played terrible.
Thats where the majority
would disagree. Sophomore
guard Frank Mason and junior
forward Perry Ellis were the
reason the Jayhawks only lost
by five.
Mason had a career-high 21
points, and Ellis held the team
together before fouling out with
four minutes left.
Halfway through the second
half, the Jayhawks were down
by 10 points and the Hilton
Coliseum was as loud as a
fighter jet engine, but that didnt
faze Ellis. Ellis scored six of the
next eight points to bring the
Jayhawks within two.
Ellis hasnt played like the key
to the Jayhawks recently. After
scoring 26 points in his first
three contests in the Big 12, Ellis
nearly equaled his Big 12 total.
Ellis scored 19 points and 11
rebounds, which are both season-highs in the Big 12. He said
the difference tonight was going
out there and having some fun.
Just playing and not thinking,
thats the key thing, Ellis said
after the loss.
A confident Ellis would help
this young team tremendously.
The Jayhawks have a short turnaround as they play Oklahoma
on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse.

@udk_dan
In front of an Iowa State
crowd that Iowa State coach
Fred Hoiberg said made his
ears hurt, the No. 9 Kansas
Jayhawks (14-3, 3-1) found
themselves in a bit of hole.
Trailing by 10 with a little
more than 13 minutes left
to play in the game, and
with sophomore guard
Frank Mason limping
toward the locker room
with a leg cramp, prospects
of a key road win at Hilton
Coliseum looked bleak,
and it wouldnt end well:
86-81 in favor of No. 11
Iowa State (14-3 , 3-1).
Like so many Kansas
teams that preceded it, this
team would not go down
without administering a
few punches of its own.
It just wasnt enough to
win like in previous years.
No
banked-in
threepoint buzzer-beaters (Ben
McLemore in 2013) or
three-point flurries in
the final minutes (Elijah
Johnson in 2013) to help
squeak out a win.

freshman guard Devonte

Sophomore guard Frank Mason fends off Iowa States Bryce Dejean-Jones.

Then, after Kansas missed

a jumper that would have
cut the Iowa State lead to
three, in just eight seconds,
McKay finished off the hattrick. Self called timeout
as the game started to get
away.
In basketball, there are
some possessions that
are more important than
others, Self said of the
McKay stretch run. When
we had a chance to inch
back, transition killed us.
Our inability to get back
or sort or talk led to points
that they didnt earn.

We just got to be more

sound and play better
help-defense.
DEVONTE GRAHAM
Freshman guard

On the night, Kansas

outperformed Iowa State
off turnovers (14-13),
second
chance
points
(15-5) and off the bench
(19-14).
The Cyclones even shot
the Jayhawks back into the
game from the free-throw
stripe late, hitting on just
15 of its 26 attempts.
It still wasnt enough.
Along with nine threepointers and 15 free
throws, Iowa State won the
game in transition, 21-10.
They were a lot faster
than us in transition, Self
said. That was probably
the biggest difference in
the game.
For Iowa State, it was part
of the game plan.
The big men boxed out
and allowed the guards to
get the rebounds and run,
Iowa State guard Naz Long
said following the 86-81
victory. Thats Hoi-ball.
But for Kansas, after

getting beat soundly in that

category over the course of
the games entirety, its back
to the drawing board.
We just got to be more
sound and play better helpdefense, Graham said.
But in the loss, it wasnt
all lost for Kansas.
Even after being sidelined
with a leg cramp, Mason
bested his career-high set
at Temple, 20 points, with
21 against the Cyclones.
Graham emerged in his
first road Big 12 game with
10 points, 4 assists, no
turnovers and two steals.
The loss, no doubt, will
sting, but its a sudden,

jolting turnaround for

Kansas, which returns
home Monday to host
Oklahoma.
Fred Hoiberg said in
order for Iowa State to
compete with Kansas for
a Big 12 title, it needed to
win this game.
The same can be said of
Kansas for Iowa State now,
as the Jayhawks look to
top the Cyclones in Allen
Fieldhouse on Feb. 2.
If not, the Cyclones may
just run away with it, it
being the hardware.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

Womens basketball falls

to No. 3 Baylor, 71-63
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmantheman2011

Down by nine at half and

as many as 11 in the second,
Kansas cut the deficit to as
close as one in the second
half, but it was not enough
as they were defeated by
No. 3 ranked Baylor, 7163, at Allen Fieldhouse. The
Jayhawks have lost their last
five games in conference
play.
Baylor led from the opening
moments until the final
buzzer. The Bears opened
up with the first six points
of the game within the first
two minutes. Kansas coach
Bonnie Henrickson called

a quick timeout and subbed

in freshman guard Terriell
Bradley, who scored Kansas
first field goal of the game.
The
Jayhawks
kept
answering Baylor as the
deficit was between three
and nine points in the first
half, before Kansas started
the second half on a 9-3 run.
I thought we played better,
had a lot of energy today, but
with 17 missed shots and 12
offensive rebounds in the
second half [we] will lose
games, Henrickson said.
Senior forward Chelsea
Gardner had a huge second
half, scoring 11 of her 17
points. She had a jumper
with 8:49 left, to cut the

deficit to one, the closest

Kansas would be the rest of
the game. Gardner picked
up her fifth foul with three
minutes remaining in the
game.
Knowing that I was not on
the court was motivation for
my teammates to step up in
my role, Gardner said.
Henrickson said sophomore
forward Caelynn ManningAllen gave the Jayhawks
good minutes off the bench,
scoring a career-high eight
points, but was also in foul
trouble, fouling out with 1:30
remaining.
Shes been behind a
little bit, due to her injury
early in the season, but has
gotten better over break,
Henrickson said.
Freshman guard Lauren
Aldridge also topped her
career high with 14 points.
Senior guard Natalie Knight
was the other Jayhawk in
double-figures
with
11
points.
It was a little bit of a
letdown, but we played
overall better today, Knight
said.
The Jayhawks (9-9, 0-5
Big 12) will travel to Texas
Tech on Wednesday.

Kansas track and field

finishes third in triangular
GJ MELIA
@GJmelia

Ahearn Field House was the

setting for the Kansas mens
and womens track and field
second indoor meet of 2015
on Saturday. The Jayhawks
were one of the three teams
competing in the triangular,
with Wichita State and host
Kansas State being the other
two. With four event victories
and 12 runner-up finishes,
Kansas ended the day with
202 total points, claiming third
place in the meet.
The men totaled 105 points,
eight ahead of the women
with 97. The Jayhawks were
just 15 points behind Wichita
State, which finished with 217.
Kansas State grabbed the top
spot with 261 points.
In the mens 3,000 meters,
Kansas dominated the rest
of the field to take home the
first three spots. Junior Evan
Landes led the way, clinching a
time of 8:26.33. Not far behind
were freshman Chris Melgares

and senior James Wilson in

second and third.
The Jayhawks swept the
400 meter races, grabbing first
in both the mens and womens
sides.
Sophomore Whitney Adams
posted the third fastest time in
the event in the Big 12 this year,
finishing with a time of 57.55.
Adams narrowly beat the
Wildcats Sarah Kolmer, who
ended with a time of 57.58. On
the mens side, senior Kenneth
McCuin finished with an
impressive sub-50 second time
of 49.58.
In addition to the men
taking the top three spots in
the 3,000 meters, they also
claimed the first and second
finishes in the 1,000 meters.
Only .12 seconds separated
senior Josh Munsch and
sophomore Daniel Koech,
with Munsch timing at 2:30.01
and Koech at 2:30.13.
In
the
long
jump,
All-American junior Sydney
Conley finished second with a
distance of 19.9 12 feet. Senior

Lindsay Vollmer finished third,

with a distance of 19-foot-34.
With a leap of 6-foot-1014,
senior Jonathan Fuller finished
third in the high jump. The
height was the best of this year
for any Jayhawk.
Although the Jayhawks saw
some success Saturday, coach
Stanley Redwine was adamant
that the teams did not execute
as well as they could have.
Redwine said injuries played a
factor in the performance.
We have to look at the silver
lining though because we had
some people that really did
step up and perform well,
Redwine said. The reality is
we didnt show up and there
are several areas where we still
need to improve as we move
into the heart of the season.
Kansas next meet will be the
Jayhawk Classic in Anschutz
Sports Pavilion on Jan. 30,
beginning at 9 a.m. It is the
Jayhawks final home meet on
the indoor season.

National team players hold up the Collegiate Bowl trophy after the NFL Collegiate Bowl on Saturday in Carson, Calif.
Kansas reciever Nick Harwell played in the game as one of four Jayhawks competing in post-season all-star games.

Four Jayhawks compete in

all-star games in January
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3

Four players from the

2014
Kansas
football
program received bids to
postseason all-star games,
three of whom have already
played in their game prior
to classes resuming.
Linebacker Ben Heeney
played as a member of the
West team in the East-West
Shrine Game, the nations
longest-running college allstar game. The 90th edition
of the Shrine Game took
place in St. Petersburg, Fla.,
this year.
The
first-team
All-Big
12
linebacker
posted six tackles in a 19-3
loss in this years Shrine
Game. Heeney impressed
the NFL scouts with his
versatility, contributing on
both defense and special
teams.
I am pretty happy with
how I performed this week
and in the game, Heeney
told KU Athletics in a press
release. I was able to make
some plays on defense, but
I am most happy with how
I performed on special
teams. The NFL scouts told
us all week how important
it is to show what you
can do on special teams
and I think I had a strong
showing there today.
Heeney
finished
his

senior season with 127

tackles to finish second in
the Big 12. Heeney was the
first Jayhawk to play in the
Shrine Game since Bradley
McDougald and Tanner
Hawkinson in 2013.
Receiver Nick Harwell
also competed Saturday on
the other side of the country
in Carson, Calif., for the
NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. He
hauled in two catches for 15
yards in his national teams
17-0 victory.
Harwell finished his lone
year with Kansas as the
second-leading
receiver
with 44 receptions and 470
yards, with a team-best five
receiving touchdowns. He
was dubbed as co-offensive
player of the year for Kansas
along with quarterback
Michael Cummings.
Earlier in the month,
safety Cassius Sendish
participated in the second
annual Medal of Honor
Bowl on the campus of
The Citadel, located in
Charleston, S.C.
Sendish was a part of the
American team that fell
short 26-14 at the hands
of the National Team. He
was credited with three
solo tackles. In addition
to seeing action in the
secondary, Sendish also
saw playing time on special
teams.
The former team captain

ranked third on the team

with 69 total tackles.
Sendish also defended
four passes, recorded one
interception and had one
fumble recovery.
Defensive back JaCorey
Shepherd is the lone
Jayhawk who has yet to
play. He is set to participate
in the Senior Bowl on
Saturday.
The Senior Bowl is
considered the premier
showcase event for seniors.
The 65th edition of the
Senior Bowl will be located
in Mobile, Ala. Shepherd
is the first Jayhawk to be
selected to the Senior Bowl
since Nate Dwyer in 2001.
Shepherd
led
the
conference with 19 passes
defended, which ranked
him fourth nationally. He
was selected to the AllBig 12 first-team after his
stellar senior campaign.
The game and every
practice the week leading
up to the game will be
televised on NFL Network.

@udk_dan

AT A GLANCE
Its a quick turnaround for Kansas,
who returns to Allen Fieldhouse Monday after its first conference loss of the
season, 86-81 at No. 11 Iowa State.
The Jayhawks look to resolve transition
defense issues that cropped up Saturday in Ames, Iowa, as the Cyclones
outscored Kansas 21-10 on the break.

KANSAS VS. OKLAHOMA

KANSAS

DAN HARMSEN

PAGE 5B

MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 2015

No. 9
(14-3, 3-1 Big 12)

PROJECTED STARTERS

Wayne Selden Jr., sophomore, guard

Over the past four games, Selden is shooting just 29 percent from
three-point range. An inability to slash and score in the lane has
slowed the Kansas offense, including a late charging call late in
the Iowa State game. Defensively, though, Selden has been solid,
averaging 1.25 steals per Big 12 game.

OKLAHOMA

BLAIR SHEADE

No. 18
(12-5, 3-2 Big 12)

@RealBlairSheady

AT A GLANCE

After losing to Kansas State in overtime and West Virginia in Morgantown, the Sooners pulled off a huge
17-point win against rival Oklahoma
State. No. 18 Oklahoma averages 40
rebounds and five blocks per game,
which are both top 3 in the Big 12.
The Sooners brought back all five
starters from last season.

PROJECTED STARTERS

Jordan Woodard, sophomore, guard

The first-year starter is second in the Big 12 and leads
Oklahoma with 4.5 assists per game. The sophomore is
the floor general and has two assists for every turnover,
which is the sixth best in the conference. Woodard is the
best on-ball defender on the team and leads the team with
21 steals.

PLAYER TO WATCH

Devonte Graham, guard

Since returning from a toe injury,
Graham has been all that Bill Self
could hope for. Hes yet to turn the
ball over in his three games back,
and averaged 4.33 assists in just
20 minutes of play over that stretch.
Graham added 10 points against the
Cyclones when Mason left the game
with cramps.

Buddy Hield, guard

Frank Mason, sophomore, guard
In conference play, Mason averages 14.5 points, 4.0 assists,
and 2.0 turnovers. When the Jayhawks need a play, they turn
to No. 0. With Devonte Grahams return to action, expect less
minutes, but even more production.

Isaiah Cousins, junior, guard

Cousins plays the most minutes for the Sooners, and thats
for a good reason because Cousins is third in the Big 12
shooting 45 percent from three. The junior is a top-15 scorer (12 ppg) and has the second best field goal percentage
(.445) on Oklahoma.

Hield is the best player in Big 12.

Hes scored 20 or more points in
three consecutive contests, averaging 26 points in that 3-game
span. Hields 3-point shooting
ability will give the Jayhawks a
reason to focus on him Hield
has made 12 3-pointers in the
past three games.

QUESTION MARK

QUESTION MARK

Which Cliff Alexander do we see

tonight?

Bill Self cited Alexanders motor,

or lack thereof, as the reason for
his limited minutes against the
Cyclones. Alexander was routinely
beat back in transition and it cost
Kansas points, and, quite possibly,
the game. Kansas is a much better
team when Alexander is locked in.
How will the freshman respond to the
criticism?

Kelly Oubre Jr., freshman, guard

Oubre is one of the few Jayhawks that has gotten to the foulline consistently this season, but when he does, he has failed to
capitalize. Oubre is shooting just 56 percent from the charity
stripe in league play. He is the Jayhawks best defensive option,
averaging 2.5 steals over the past four games thanks in large
part to his quick hands and long arms.

Buddy Hield, junior, guard

Hield is Oklahomas leading scorer at 17 points per game,
which is second in the Big 12. Hield had an impressive
game against Oklahoma State, scoring 27 points and making all four of his 3-pointers. Hield leads the conference
with three 3-pointers per game.

Can the Kansas frontcourt handle

Ryan Spangler?

Spangler is a big body and a

tremendous rebounder. The Jayhawks had trouble in the past
with big-bodied frontcourts; Kentucky, Utah and UNLV are some
examples, and Kansas struggled
in the paint against all three of
those teams. The Kansas frontcourt will have to put a body on
Spangler during every box out.

BY THE NUMBERS

BY THE NUMBERS

38.9

Kansas leads the Big 12 with a 38.9

three-point field goal percentage.

21

Sophomore guard Brannen Greene has

made 21-straight free throws dating back
to last season.

76.5

Perry Ellis, junior, forward

After turning the ball over four times in the first four minutes against
Oklahoma State, Ellis dropped seven points in the first four minutes
against Iowa Statehe would finish the night with 19 points on 50
percent shooting. As he extends his game beyond the arc (2-of-3 from
three against the Cyclones), and brings more aggression down low,
there are signs that he may be breaking out of a mid-season lull.

Tashawn Thomas, senior, forward

The lone senior in the starting lineup has scored over 20
points twice this season, and scored 24 points in Oklahomas Big 12 opener against Baylor. Thomas ranks second
on the team with six rebounds per game.

Freshman forward Cliff Alexanders

shooting percentage in Big 12 play, 26
percentage points below his season
average.

The Sooners 3-point defense is the

best in the Big 12, holding teams to
28 percent.

BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF

The Jayhawks win convincingly. It
would do Kansas good to flush the
past 80 minutes of basketball in
an ugly win over Oklahoma State
and a close loss against Iowa
State with a 10-point (or more)
victory. To do that, theyll need
to slow a potent Sooners offense
down before it gets rolling.

Jamari Traylor, junior, forward

Traylor was held scoreless in Ames, Iowa, but added a few key rebounds and an assist. He is the glue-guy that wins loose balls and
makes good passes out of the post.

Ryan Spangler, junior, forward

Spangler averages nine points and eight rebounds per
game and has been a dominating force in the paint. The
big 6-foot-8, 231-pound forward leads the Big 12 in defensive rebounding (6 per game). Spangler is also the second
best 3-point shooter on Oklahoma, shooting 35 percent
from beyond the arc.

Prediction: Kansas 76 Oklahoma 72

STEAL
THIS
DEAL!

BABY JAY WILL CRY IF

Oklahoma outrebounds Kansas.

The Sooners are the best rebounding team, but if Oklahoma outrebounds Kansas, the Jayhawks
will have trouble staying with the
Sooners. Kansas defensive
rebounding ranks in the middle of
the Big 12, and will have trouble
with the big bodies of the
Oklahoma frontcourt.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Perry Ellis
Perry Ellis had his best game in a while for
the Jayhawks. His effort came up short as the
Jayhawks fell to Iowa State. Ellis recorded a
double-double in the loss, scoring 19 and adding
11 rebounds.

Ellis

GAME TO FORGET
Kelly Oubre Jr.
Kelly Oubre Jr. couldnt buy a bucket in Hilton
Coliseum Saturday night. On 5-15 shooting, the
streaky freshman scored only 10 points with only
two assists. Six of his points came in garbage time,
and his poor shooting performance was part of the
reason Kansas fell.

FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
Sophomore guard Frank Mason goes for a layup in Saturdays game against Iowa State in Ames, Iowa. Mason scored a career-high and team-high 21 points.

Oubre

UNSUNG HERO

PRIME PLAYS
Devonte Graham three (:14 seconds left in first half)
Graham sunk his first three-pointer of the game to decrease Iowa States lead to one right before the half. Although the Cyclones scored at the
other end, a three-point Cyclone lead headed into half with 10 turnovers puts the Jayhawks in a good position for a second-half comeback.

Devonte Graham

Frank Mason three-pointer (14:11 left in second half)

Devonte Graham stayed hot in his return from

injury, scoring 10 points and recording four
assists off the bench. When Frank Mason went to
the locker room from cramping, Graham stepped
in to play the point.

After a large run by Iowa State, Mason hit a three to cut the lead to single digits. The Jayhawks forced a stop on the defensive end.
Perry Ellis three (11:13 left in second half)

Graham

After a Devonte Graham steal and fast-break score, Ellis hit a transition three to cut Iowa States lead to only five. Ellis then hit two free throws
to cut the lead to three.
