Take a look at the years most memorable moments in sports.

THE WAVE | INSIDE

The student voice since 1904
A
s Liz Sell stepped onto the
pedestal in front of a mirror,
tears filled her eyes and a wide
grin covered her face. Her mother,
maid of honor and a bridesmaid each
sported matching smiles.
After hours of trying on dress after
dress she finally found it: strapless,
stark white, with pearl and rhinestone
beaded detail around the waist. It had
a train not too long, but long enough
to need a bustle to take up some fabric
for the reception.
Sell, a senior from Pretty Prairie,
never thought she would marry at 22.
Twenty-four, maybe. Twenty-five was
more like it. But her mother wed at 19
and her grandmother at 17.
You know you look great in this
dress. If this is what you want, then this
is what you want, Lizs mom, Janice
Sell, said, trying to remain unbiased.
They purchased the dress for $900,
much more than they had planned on
spending, and it was whisked away for
alterations.
That experience was the moment it
all began to sink in.
In 10 months from that moment,
Sell would be getting married to her
boyfriend of four and a half years on
May 30, after she graduates from the
University of Kansas.
Fewer Americans are married now
than 50 years ago, and the number has
been consistently falling. Though the
national median age for marriage is
steadily increasing, some students are
still choosing to go to the altar at an
age younger than the current median
of 28 for men and 26 for women.
n n n
Shirley Hill, professor of sociology,
said that the current trend of waiting to
get married at an older age stems from
a gender revolution.
In the past 30 or 40 years as women
entered the labor market, they began
to demand a different type of marriage
relationship, one not only based on
fulfillment but based on equality, Hill
said.
Women arent looking for traditional
marriages of a working husband and a
housewife anymore and neither are
men, Hill said. Hill also said the gender
revolution was responsible for the shift
because it made women less dependent
on marriage for economic stability and
less willing to tolerate marriages that
werent based on equality.
Its taking couples a longer period
of time to get what they consider
the economic foothold they need to
get married, Hill said. Increasingly
,people are having to go to college, get
additional training before they feel like
they have some economic resources to
get married.
Women now make up about 53
percent of college graduates, according
to Pew ResearchCenter, and as a result,
men experience more economic gain
from marriage now than they have in
past decades. In Kansas, the median
age for women to marry is 25. The
lowest is 24 in Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Idaho and Utah. Studies also show
that states where women get married
younger tend to have a higher divorce
rate.
So why are couples such as Sell and
her fianc, Justin Epp, planning to walk
down the aisle shortly after walking
down the hill?
For Tiffany Brant and Matt Basgall,
moving in together before marrying
made them realize they didnt want to
be with each other anymore.
Laura Schmidt and David Friedberg
choose not to live together before
getting married and say their religion
will help guide their marriage.
Whitney and Nick Janzen-Pankratz
find financial benefits from getting
hitched before theyre out of college.
Together they buck the current trend
of waiting until their late 20s to wed.

University to ofer frst
online summer classes
BY ERIN BROWN
ebrown@kansan.com
For the first time, students
looking to get ahead with classes
over the summer can do so from
their own homes.
The University will offer sum-
mer classes online this year,
instead of holding only tradition-
al on-campus classes.
The old system doesnt leave
many options for students who
cant stay in Lawrence over the
summer, said Jim Peters, direc-
tor of program coordination for
Continuing Education at the
University.
For those students who are
not planning to stay in Lawrence,
this will allow them to still build
credit hours from home, Peters
said.
Online classes enable students
to concentrate on one or two
classes during a shorter time
period. Students are often able
to complete courses more quickly
than during a traditional semester,
Peters said. Additionally, incom-
ing freshmen can jump-start their
college careers by taking online
classes before they arrive at the
University.

Kristen DeHaan walked right
through it. She didnt realize the
faux pas she had just made until
the next day at freshman orienta-
tion when she was told about the
Campanile myth.
DeHaan, a 2009 alumna from
Chicago, was then very worried.
We didnt know anything about
it, DeHaan said. My dad thought
it was cool and took a picture of
me. Once we found out I made
my dad delete the picture. I was so
nervous.
Legend has it that if students
walk through the Campanile before
they graduate then they will not
graduate on time, if at all. It is not
known when the myth of the bell
tower began but students are made
aware of it as early as their first visits
to the University. Another myth
about the Campanile is that if you
kiss your significant other under
the bell tower then you will marry
him or her.
DeHaan graduated from the
University in four and a half years.
She doesnt believe that extra semes-
ter had anything to do with the
myth. She said it was because she
studied abroad and wasnt able to

Andrew Hines, a junior from
Chicago, isnt worried about the
myth either. He first heard about it
during a tour of campus before he
came to the University.
I walked through the bell tower
my freshman year, Hines said.
I dont believe the legend is true
and Im pretty sure Ill graduate
on time.
Hines said that he wasnt sure
how true the myth about kissing
your significant other under the
bell tower was, but that he thought
it was funny how many myths the
tower holds.
Whether the legend is real or
not, some students wont attempt
to test it.
Sydney Levinson, a senior from
St. Louis, said she had definitely
made sure not to walk through the
bell tower. She said that when she
found out about the tradition she
thought it was exciting and had
tried to follow it.
Whether or not its true, its still
a cool tradition, Levinson said.
To graduate in four years and be
able to finally walk down the hill
with all of my friends is a pretty big
accomplishment.
According to KU Infos website,
the Campanile was constructed in
1950 and dedicated on May 27,
1951 as a World War II memorial.
The tradition of walking through
the tower began the following year.
In former Chancellor
Hemenways 2009 address to
graduates of the University he
emphasized the importance of this
myth.
As we say every year, the walk
is the ceremony, Hemenway said.
You have to walk before you can
fly. The walk prepares Jayhawks
for flight.

Online classes cost more, how-
ever. For undergraduate Kansas
residents, an online summer
course costs about $293 per credit
hour, compared to about $245 per
credit hour for a traditional semes-
ter course. For undergraduate non-
Kansas residents an online summer
course costs about $650 per credit
hour, compared to about $644 per
credit hour for a traditional semes-
ter course, according to the inde-
pendent study
course catalog.
Adam Baratz,
a junior from
Tulsa, said that
he was glad to
see summer
online courses
becoming an
option for stu-
dents, but that
he would have
liked to see this option sooner.
Im really glad for future stu-
dents because I really wish I would
have had this option, Baratz said.
A list of online courses offered
this summer can be found on jay-
hawksummer.com. Instructors
are still adding courses, and will
continue to add or delete options
depending on department approv-
al, Peters said.
Its a very fluid list, Peters said.
It kind of shifts as courses are
added and deleted.
One of the courses offered for
this summer is Film and Media
Aesthetics, a requirement for film
majors. Jake Thomson, a junior
from Westminster, Colo., is a film
major and said that he would
have been interested in taking this
requirement online over the sum-
mer, but that he already had sum-
mer plans.
If I had this option last year
I would have taken the class for
sure, Thomson said. If I could
have knocked out a requirement
for my major or
some other gen-
eral education
r e qui r e me nt
then I would
have taken
advantage of it.
A l t h o u g h
some students
might already
have plans for
the summer,
Peters said that online courses were
a great option for students who
might be going home and could fit
a class into their schedules.
Tanner Ford, a junior from
Wellington, said he had taken
online courses from Cowley
County Community College and
that online classes fit his learning
style better than traditional class-
room styles.
Im a big fan of online classes,
Ford said. Theyre just easier and
more convenient.

NATIoNAL
nashville residents regroup after deadly foods
BY CHRIS TALBOTT
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. The dark
waters of the Cumberland River
slowly started to ebb Tuesday as
residents who frantically fled the
deadly flash floods returned home
to find mud-caked floors and
soggy furniture. Rescuers prayed
they would not find more bodies as
the floodwaters receded.
The river and its tributaries had
flooded parts of middle Tennessee
after a record-breaking weekend
storm dumped more than a foot
of rain in two days, rapidly spill-
ing water into homes, roads and
some of Music Citys best-known
attractions.
At least 29 people were killed
in Tennessee, Mississippi and
Kentucky by either floodwaters or
tornadoes. Water submerged parts
of the Grand Ole Opry House,
considered by many to be the heart
of country music, and the nearby
Opryland Hotel could be closed for
up to six months.
The flash flooding caught many
by surprise, and efforts to warn
residents to not drive on flooded
streets were hampered by power
outages. As the water began to
recede, bodies were recovered late
Monday from homes, a yard and
a wooded area outside a Nashville
supermarket. By Tuesday, the flash
floods were blamed in the deaths
of 18 people in Tennessee alone,
including 10 in Nashville.
Hundreds of people had been
rescued by boat and canoe from
their flooded homes over the past
few days. Those rescue operations
were winding down in Nashville
on Tuesday, though emergency
management officials were check-
ing a report of a house floating in a
northern neighborhood, trying to
determine if anyone was in it.
It remained unclear how many
if any people were missing
in Tennessee. Authorities in south-
central Kentucky searched Tuesday
for a kayaker who was last seen
Monday afternoon in the swollen
Green River.
Those in houses that have been
flooded and some of those more
remote areas, do we suspect we will
find more people? Probably so,
Nashville Fire Chief Kim Lawson
said. We certainly hope that its
not a large number.
The Cumberland River also
deluged some of Nashvilles most
important revenue sources: the
Gaylord Opryland Hotel and
Convention Center, whose 1,500
guests were whisked to a shelter,
the adjacent Opry Mills Mall, and
the Grand Ole Opry House.
Parts of the hotel remained
flooded on Tuesday, and officials
estimated it could stay closed for
three to six months with more than
$75 million in damage.
At the Grand Ole Opry, which is
moving its shows to alternate con-
cert halls, water reached the stage
and the first floor of the Minnie
Pearl building was flooded over
the doors.

THE cAmpANILE
According to KU Infos
website, it takes the average-
sized graduate about 300
steps to make it from the
Campanile to the bottom of
the hill.
The Campanile holds a
carillon, which consists of 53
bells that are played similarly
to a piano or xylophone using
the hands and feet.
The bells chime every 15
minutes from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
According to kupreserva-
tion.org the 53 bells are made
from a mixture of copper and
tin and weigh from 10 pounds
to seven tons, hanging in six
tiers.
The entrance of the
Campanile is called doors of
Memoryand the exit is called
doors of Kansas.
The architects of the Cam-
panile were Homer f. Neville
and edward B. delk.

Money Matters
In 2007, Sell and Epp, a senior fromPretty
Prairie, lived in separate apartments in the
same complex. They would take turns spend-
ing the night in each others apartments for a
year until they eventually decided it was a
waste of money. In August 2008, Sell and Epp
moved in together, despite Epps grandmoth-
ers uneasy feelings. The move cut down on
housing and utility costs for the couple.
A month later, without telling Sell, Epp
bought a $1,300 engagement ring. It wouldnt
be until Christmas that he would propose,
by putting the ring in a box that was inside
a bigger box, and so on all the way up to a
very large box.
More than a year later, Sell and Epp have
now saved about $1,000 to contribute to their
parents funds for the wedding. The rest of
Epp and Sells saving efforts are going to pay
for their five-night stay at Walt Disney World
for their honeymoon. But during the last few
months, Sells schedule has been jam-packed
preparing for the wedding.
Finalize the reception menu. Check.
Find bridesmaids dresses. Check.
Decide on party favors and center pieces.
Check.
Complete homework. Check.
Janice, her mother, admits shes
worried about her daughters
stress level.
I think the timing is a little
bit rough because hes trying to
find a job and shes got another
year to get her teaching certifi-
cate, Janice said. Im afraid shes
going to turn into a bridezilla.
Sell said having a year and a half
to plan the wedding had helped
reduce her stress level.
I tried to make sure I had time for
myself and to relax and not let every-
thing get to me.
n n n
Moving in with one another may have
lessened the bills for Sell and Epp, but for
Whitney Janzen-Pankratz, a senior from
Hesston, that was only the beginning of
the benefits she saw.
Whitney married her husband, Nick,
almost two years ago, when she was 20 and
he was 22. Though they did not live together
before marriage, Whitney said one of the
biggest benefits of being married and in
school was the increase in financial aid avail-
able to her.
Now that she
is married,
her parents
no longer
claimher as a
dependent so
her financial
aid is based
solely onher
own income. Before they were married,
Whitney worked two jobs and was nearly
self-sufficient.
My stress level reduced when we got
married because he was able to help with the
finances, she said.
Although Whitney and Nick support
themselves, their parents still help out by
paying for their cell phone bills.
Their logic is if we ever did need help,
they didnt want our cell phone bill to be one
of the things that got cut off, Whitney said.
There are certain little things that they kind
of keep an eye on.
In order to ensure they wouldnt have
money problems, the couple made a bud-
get. Whitney said their parents encouraged
them to do
so because
they, too,
were married
at a young
age and
understood
the potential
difficulties.
Ma r r i e d
couples such as Whitney and Nick tend to
have a higher household net income than
unmarried people, according to Pew, which
could motivate some to walk down the aisle.
Statistics show that the youngest median age
at marriage comes from the Bible belt of
the nation states such as Texas, Louisiana
and Mississippi.
Keeping the Faith
Laura Schmidt remembers waking up
on her 20th birthday last year with her
roommate handing her a note from her
boyfriend.
The note read, Sorry we cant celebrate
your birthday today but I bought you and
your roommate massages for today. I hope
you enjoy them.
After reading the note, tears silently
streamed down her face. She hoped this was
it, but couldnt be sure. Five years of dat-
ing, this had to be it, she thought, but after
a second note she got at lunch, she wasnt
so sure.
The massages were the first in a string of
events, notes and a riddle that led Schmidt to
the front of the Campanile, wondering why
she was there.
When her boyfriend stepped out from
behind the Campanile with five roses, one
for each year of dating, she knew this was the
moment she had waited for his proposal.
Schmidt, a senior from Wichita, met her
fianc, David Friedberg, a senior at Wichita
State, at the Christian high school they both
attended. Their shared faith drew them
together and by her junior year in high
school, and after he helped her cope with the
death of her grandmother, Schmidt knew he
was the one for her.
The big day is set for June 12, a week
before their six-and-a-half year anniversary
as a couple. But first they must finish four
more premarital counseling sessions to com-
plete the six sessions their church requires.
Schmidt and Friedberg said they liked the
sessions and they would probably have done
them even if they werent required.
It felt like it was good to get stuff out there
like family and in-laws in a situation where
its a lot less threatening, Schmidt said.
Reverend Steve Beseau leads marriage
preparation courses at St. Lawrence Catholic
Center and uses a compatibility test to find
what areas a couple needs to focus on.
We want to make sure we give themtools
to make the best decision, Beseau said.
Questions on the test address topics such
as communication, finances, children, work
and sexuality.
Beseau has been leading marriage prepa-
ration courses for 15 years and has presided
over weddings of couples from 19 years old
to in their 70s.
Beseau said he saw more alumni getting
married now than current students because
the average age of marriage has gone up.
If someone came in who is 19 years
old, immediately, I would be very cautious,
Beseau said. Ive had marriages of 19- and
20-year-olds who were very mature. You
cannot discount someone because theyre
too young nor can you presume theyre
ready because theyre older.
When Schmidt and Friedberg tell people
theyre engaged, they often ask how old
they are.
Its funny because people will be really
excited for me and theyll ask how old I am
and when I tell them theyll ask why would
you ever want to get married that young,
Schmidt said. I tell them weve been dating
for over six years now and thats been part of
the plan for a few years now. It really wasnt
a matter of age, its definitely more maturity
than your age.
Schmidt also said that when people heard
they were getting married, they thought it
was because they were waiting to have sex.
I just dont want it to come off that its sole-
ly the reason were wanting to get married,
Schmidt said.
With cul-
tural changes
and norms
that have
made it easi-
er and more
a c c e pt a bl e
for people to
live together
and have
intimate relationships, sexual relationships
arent seen as a reason for people to get mar-
ried at a young age.
Hill, professor of sociology, agrees.
Youre not waiting to get married to have
sex or cohabitate with a partner, Hill said.
Dennis Dailey, professor emeritus from
the School of Social Welfare who taught a
course on human sexuality for 35 years, said
young people got married early because of
emotional dependency.
Emotional dependency is something that
draws people to a relationship and depen-
dency wont sustain a relationship, Dailey
said. You have to be able to be comfortable
with being alone and aware of who you are
as a separate person before you can get in a
relationship that has to sustain itself.
Fifty percent of married relationships end
in failure and relationships that begin with
an early marriage have an even higher rate
of failure, Dailey said.
I dont think thats an accident. You get
into the business of someone else complet-
ing you or needing them to affirm that
youre OK and thats not going to build a
good relationship, Dailey said. Thats what
romance novels at Dillons talk about, but
thats not the basis for a good relationship.
Living with a significant other before mar-
rying can test a couples emotional depen-
dency and help themsee they are not meant
for one another. Thats what happened to
Tiffany Brant and Matt Basgall.
BreaKing a Lease Beats
BreaKing a Marriage
ContraCt
Seven months ago, Brant, a sophomore
from Topeka, was expecting a marriage pro-
posal fromher boyfriend, Basgall. Now, shes
locked in an apartment lease with her no-
longer would-be fianc.
Brant and her ex-boyfriend Basgall
were together for a year and a half before
they moved in together. She was studying
music education at Missouri Southern State
University when she decided to transfer to
the University of Kansas to be with Basgall.
Even though its a stupid reason, I will
tell anyone it was the best decision ever,
Brant said.
The couple had talked about getting
engaged and decided to move in together
in the fall of 2009. Brant said her parents
did not like the idea of the two moving in
together before marriage.
At one point they did tell me Jesus isnt
proud of me, Brant said. But at some point
your parents have to let you go. They knew I
loved him so they went with the flow and let
me live my life.
Despite her parents feelings, Brant
and Basgall moved into an apartment in
October.
The relationship ended a few weeks later.
There was
no big reason, it
was just a bunch
of little things,
Brant said. I
think after being
with someone
for so long you
just get used to
where you are. I
was holding on
for the good times that we had. After a while,
there were more bad times or not being in
sync.
Now the two are joined by a lease and liv-
ing in the same apartment until November.
They have separate bedrooms but share a
bathroom as well as other living spaces.
We werent immediately best friends but
weve slowly progressed to being friends
again, Brant said. Hes a great roommate
and a great guy.
Before the break-up, Brant, 19, and Basgall,
22, had a wedding date picked out the first
Saturday in June after she graduates in 2012.
I just really loved Matt, and, even though
he did a lot of things that annoyed me, I just
kind of put them aside, Brant said. Just
because you love someone doesnt mean
youre supposed to be with them.
Now, Brant has a new boyfriend who
she has known for years and he sometimes
comes over to the apartment.
Imsure he doesnt love it but Imnot try-
ing to rub it in his face or anything, Brant
said of Basgall.
Before Brant and her new boyfriend, Zack
Walker, officially started dating, she made
sure he knew she wasnt moving out of her
apartment with Basgall. She also assured him
that her relationship with Basgall was purely
platonic.
Brant said she didnt regret moving in with
Basgall.
I didnt move in with him to test him out
or anything, she said. I moved in because
I loved him and wanted to spend time with
him.
Now, she tells friends who are thinking
about living with their boyfriends before
marriage that she has no regrets that she
did.
Even though we did break up, I dont
think it was a mistake, she said. Hes going
to make somebody really happy.

The average cost of a
wedding is $27,800, according
Theknot.com. That number
includes outlying, more
expensive weddings, which
raises the average a little bit.
Almost half of your wedding
costs will likely go to the recep-
tion which means you could
pay as much as $14,000, which
includes the venue, decorations,
food and drinks. Thats roughly
the cost of tuition plus housing,
not counting transportation,
campus fees, books or personal
expenses in the estimated cost
of attendance thats reported
to FAFsA and student loan
companies.
Roughly 2 to 3 percent of
your budget will go toward
wedding rings, which means
you could spend as much
as $850 on rings. Required
campus fees were $848 for
2009-2010, and the estimated
cost for textbooks was $800.
Theknot.com estimates that a
set of simple gold band will cost
you between $125 and $200,
platinum bands between $400
and $600. diamond wedding
bands go for $742 each, on
average. engraving will cost
more between $1 and $8 per
character.
My stress level reduced when we got
married because he was able to help with
the fnances.

ahra nasrazadani likes to be
frst to do things. so when
she told her friends that
she proposed to her boyfriend, they
werent surprised.
during an ordinary night of video-
chatting on Gmail with her boyfriend
in december 2008, nasrazadani
grabbed an envelope that was lying
around, drewa picture of a ring on
it and scribbled, marry me? before
holding it up in front of her camera
for her boyfriend to see.
yeah, of course, he replied.
The scrap of paper is nowposted
on nasrazadanis refrigerator, where it
has been for a year and a half.
nasrazadani, a senior fromempo-
ria, and her fanc jordan hanson,
a senior at kansas state University,
consider themselves feminists who
dont buy into the bigpop the ques-
tion moment.
i couldnt see myself being sur-
prised by it. it shouldnt be a sneak
attack, nasrazadani said. i dont
want to say thats howit should be
for everyone, but for us, thats howit
ended up.
nasrazadanis proposal is only the
beginning of a list of things that will
make her marriage unconventional
compared to todays norms.
she wont be given away on her
wedding day. her color scheme is
rainbowand each member of the
bride and grooms wedding party will
don a diferent color of the rainbow.
All her accessories will be colorful and
sparkly. And when its time to take his
last name, that wont be happening
either she and hanson will both be
changing their last names. They de-
cided to develop a hybrid of their last
names but nasrazadani demands that
a part of her last name becomes the
frst part of the newname so she can
have the capital letter, of course.
The only normthat nasrazadani and
hanson will be following is waiting to
get married until they are a bit older.
engaged for almost a year and a half,
they still have another year to go until
they think the timing will be right.
part of the wait is because its
already hard enough to juggle school
and extracurriculars, nasrazadani said.
And on top of all that, lets get mar-
ried and do our taxes together its
just too much to handle.
Recently, nasrazadani and hanson
discussed whether they sawa point
in getting married at all, but they
decided it showed a level of commit-
ment.
just about every other day i think
i threaten to just go down to the
courthouse, nasrazadani said. i dont
buy into the wholei need to spend
hundreds of dollars to make this day
special. were trying to look at it as
were throwing a big party.
nasrazadani said she felt privileged
that her dad volunteered to pay for
the wedding. Though nasrazadanis
family is muslimand hansons is Bap-
tist, the couple is not big on organized
religion. nasrazadani said that not
following marriage traditions, such
as changing her last name, was more
of an issue between themand their
families than religion.
hansons parents struggled more
with the name changing idea than
nasrazadanis parents.
its just not what you do, she said.
For my parents, in the middle east a
girl keeps her last name so its not hard
for themto grasp.
despite not following traditions and
norms, nasrazadani said her parents
and hansons parents were very sup-
portive of their engagement but her
dad wondered howshe knewhanson
was the one.
i told himthat we fght like anyone
does, nasrazadani said. even in our
worst fghts theres never even a sec-
ond where i think we should break up.

Health bill benefts students
BY SAMANTHA FOSTER
sfoster@kansan.com
John Brown was hopping a
curb on his bike on campus in
2007 when the front wheel came
unhinged and he fell on his face.
He couldnt stop the bleeding by
his eye and had
to go to the emer-
gency room for
seven stitches.
For some, the
cost of an emer-
gency-room visit
wouldnt have
been a problem.
But Brown, a
junior from Lees
Summit, Mo.,
didnt have health
insurance.
It cost $1,500 for just a few
stitches, Brown said.
Because Brown didnt have
health insurance, he had to set up a
payment plan with the hospital. He
said he had to start off with small
payments of $20 a month. As long
as he made regular payments, the
hospital didnt bug him about it. He
eventually made larger payments,
and a year after the accident he
paid off the debt.
New federal legislation passed
in March is meant to keep students
like Brown from facing unexpected
medical problems without health
insurance. And beginning in July,
new health care plans and most
old plans will be required to allow
children to stay on their parents
plans until age 26.
Diana Malott, assistant director
of Student Health Services, said
she expected fewer students to
need health insurance through the
University after this legislation goes
into effect and students can stay on
their parents plans longer. But she
said she and
other admin-
i s t r a t o r s
at Student
H e a l t h
Services were
still uncertain
about how
the legisla-
tion would
change stu-
dent health
plans.
Malott said more than 2,800
students at the University were
enrolled in the Board of Regents
student health care plan. Many of
these are international students,
who are required to have health
insurance, and GTAs or GRAs,
who have subsidized premiums
because of their employment with
the University. Others are under-
graduates who are no longer cov-
ered by their parents plans.
Malott said many students were
young and healthy so they saw
health insurance as a luxury or
didnt think about it at all, even if
they lost coverage.
We dont see it as a luxury,
Malott said. Its great to be uncov-
ered until you need it.
Sally Strnad, a senior from
Munden, will lose coverage under
her parents plan when she turns
23 after graduation, but she will
still be a student because shes in a
five-year music therapy program.
Strnad decided to purchase a health
insurance plan through Blue Cross
Blue Shield, her parents provider.
Even with the new legislation, she
will not retain coverage under her
parents plan.
Strnad said the plan she pur-
chased cost more than $90 per
month. Dental coverage cost $2
more, but Strnad said the insur-
ance cut into her budget anyway
so she only purchased health cov-
erage. Even with the expense, she
said she never considered going
without insurance.
I knew Id be having an intern-
ship around people, Strnad said. I
didnt think it would be a good idea
to go without health insurance.
Malott said the annual pre-
mium for the Regents student
health insurance plan was $915
this year. In August the premium
will probably increase to $987, but
that wont be finalized until the
committee meets in early May. She
said the committee encouraged
the vendor, United Health Care,
to keep the premium under $1,000
a year so it would be affordable to
students. Although she said she
knew it didnt sound like a small
amount to students, Malott said
the plan had benefits comparable
to employer plans that would cost
between $500 and $700 a month.
The Regents student insurance
plan covers up to $100,000 per
injury or accident. The insurance
company pays 80 percent of costs
and the student is responsible for
20 percent. If a student receives
care at Watkins Memorial Health
Center, the plan pays 100 percent
of the cost except in the pharmacy
and for some services, such as
X-rays.
Malott said she felt that every
student should have health insur-
ance because unexpected health
care expenses could cause students
to drop out of college or take out
large student loans.
It doesnt take very long until
you can have an astronomi-
cal health care bill, Malott said.
Theres just no way that the aver-
age person, and certainly not the
average student, can fund that kind
of unexpected expense without get-
ting very seriously into bankruptcy
or a financial hole that theyll be
years digging out of.

Where theres smoke, there isnt
always fire.
So dont be confused when
someone drags off a cigarette
without ever lighting up.
Its probably just another smok-
er gone digital, using an E-cig, or
electronic cigarette, which was
developed in April 2003.
Though it looks just like a real
cigarette, it uses a small battery
and atomizer, the heating ele-
ment, to turn a liquid form of
nicotine into a smoke-like vapor
that neither smells nor produces
tar, and can be legally smoked
wherever traditional cigarettes
are banned, for now.
You might get some glances
from people at first, but with no
smell most people dont notice,
Joe McDonough, a junior from
Wichita, said.
McDonough started using
E-cigs last year, and although he
still smokes tobacco, McDonough
said the device would be a great
way for smokers wanting to be
healthier.
There are certain times Ill
choose to use it instead of smok-
ing a normal cigarette, like when
you have a cold or something, he
said. You could smoke this and
go on a run later without having
that chalky feeling in your lungs.
Although a number of startup
companies have emerged online
in the last year with new mod-
els of E-cigs, the FDA has yet
to approve them for the market.
Some countries, such as Canada,
have already banned the sale of
E-cigs, and various U.S. states are
considering restricting their use
in various forms.
So though companies such as
Smoking Everywhere, a leader in
E-cigs, advertise their products as
being healthier, cheaper and more
eco-friendly than traditional
cigarettes, some see them as not
helping the problem.
All this is going to do is give
people the opportunity to get nic-
otine in areas that they cant use
cigarettes, Ken Saber, a health
coordinator at Watkins Memorial
Health Center who counsels stu-
dents trying to quit, said. There
is still a lot unknown about them,
but I would never recommend
this as a quit product.
Because companies are not
allowed to advertise E-cigs as
smoke cessation devices, some
find their target audience to be
young non-smokers, who may be
lured in by the assortment of fla-
vors and limited negative health
effects.
Its a good deal when you
buy one of their start packs
because they basically give you
all the different flavors to try out,
Christopher Reynolds, a senior
from Topeka, said.
The flavoring is mixed into the
liquid nicotine cartridge, which
the user can replace or refill with
their own e-liquid. The e-liq-
uid is mainly propylene glycol, a
substance used in products such
as food coloring, non-toxic anti-
freeze, or most commonly, fog
machines.
Although Reynolds and
McDonough said they would
continue smoking traditional
cigarettes for now, both agreed
that they would use E-cigs in the
future to help them quit or to
avoid the stigma of smoking in
public.
Id do it before I went on the
patch or something like that,
McDonough said. It helps fulfill
a lot of the pleasures of smok-
ing without bugging the people
around you.

KU Little releases
its second edition
E-cigs provide smokeless alternative
BY JennY teRRell
jterrell@kansan.com
KU Little Magazine, a publi-
cation put together by student
housing, will release its second
issue tonight, along with a gal-
lery showing of the final chosen
works of art in the Hashinger
Hall Theater of
Hashinger.
The magazine
is composed of
photos, paint-
ings, sculptures,
and poetry
submitted by
residents and
staff within the
department of
student housing
and is funded
by the Association of University
Residence Halls (AURH) and the
Lewis and Templin Complex.
Cody Charles, complex director
of Lewis and Templin and member
of the KU Little Magazine com-
mittee, said the magazine offered
a unique opportunity for students
and staff to cre-
ate something
together.
This is the sec-
ond year of pub-
lication for KU
Little Magazine.
Joe Ratterman,
a junior from
Louisburg and
magazine coor-
dinator, said the
magazine had
trouble getting funding last year
because there wasnt a product to
show and because AURH didnt
understand what it was about.
But, after winning National
Educational Program of the
Month for April of 2009, funding
this year was not a problem.
It will be an annual thing now,
Ratterman said.
Students and staff submitted
263 pieces of art and 42 were
selected to be printed in the
magazine. Sixteen University staff
members judged the pieces.
Its definitely a large improve-
ment over last years, Bevin Fath,
director of Miller and Sellards
Scholarship Halls, said.
Among those chosen for
publication was a close up photo
of an ant on a leaf taken by Kendall
Pat t er s on,
a freshman
f r o m
McCl out h.
Pa t t e r s o n
said she was
s u r pr i s e d
when she
was told
her photo
was going
to be in the
magazine.
I was really excited and defi-
nitely surprised because I know
theres a lot of talent around here
and Im not an art student or
anything, Patterson said. It was
just a random thing that I decided
to try.
Patterson said she took the
photo last
summer in
McCl out h.
She prac-
ticed pho-
tography in
high school
and now that
she is busy
with school
and the
KU softball
team, she
uses photography as an outlet.
Its something I can do to get
away from everything, Patterson
said.
Issues of the KU Little Magazine
will be handed out at the gallery
tonight between 5 and 7 and then
distributed at residence halls, KU
Dining, and coffee shops down-
town.

I
thrive on the angry com-
ments posted online under
my columns. Having spent
the last few years putting my
crazy left-wing slant on various
issues, the indignation is almost
proof that Im doing something
right. But enough with the self-
aggrandizement and by that,
I mean more of it but in a more
subtle manner. This is my last
column for The Kansan, and
theres a lot that needs to be said.
The greatest thing opinion
writers can do with their medium
is get people talking while airing
personal grievances about society.
I think sometimes I succeeded. I
think sometimes I was just trying
to meet a deadline. No matter
what the reason, everything that
columnists write is inspired by
a belief that something needs to
be said.
To try to be the person who
decides what needs to be said
takes a tremendous amount of
ego. Thats the one trait that every
columnist, blogger or talking
head has in common. There is
nothing about any of us colum-
nists that makes our opinions
superior. Rather, we are the ones
who think we can best express
those opinions to the masses.
Some people do it by being silly,
some by being straightforward
and some by being smug and
occasionally a little abrasive.
When you grow up in a state
with politics typically opposed
your own, you learn to get loud.
When you find the overall politi-
cal climate of the country skew-
ing that way, you get defensive.
And when you discover that
society, no matter what it proj-
ects to be, is always in a state of
conflict, you lose interest in ever
shutting up.
Since I first became a
columnist for this newspaper, a
lot has happened in the political
world. Stars have risen and
fallen: One-time Democratic
Messiah John Kerry has faded
into irrelevance (or the equivalent
for people who are still U.S.
Senators); Glenn Beck has
taken the job of televised vitriol
dispenser to Olympian heights;
John McCain and Arlen Specter
have gone from being the only
good Republicans in the Senate
to a depressed burnout and a
Democrat.
The make-up of the partisan
branches of the federal govern-
ment have gone from over-
whelmingly Republican to
mostly Democratic. But, as can
be expected from an entity com-
prised of several hundred people
in expensive shoes, it still only
gets a little bit more done without
a lot of prodding.
Tea parties have gone from
being games where little girls
dress up and pretend to enter-
tain guests to chaotic clusters
of general fury about stuff that
people pretend didnt exist when
conservatives were the majority
in Washington. And, in Arizona,
racial profiling has gone from
being a serious problem to an
institution.
It doesnt really matter whos in
office, what polls indicate, or even
what policies are implemented at
any level. Theres always some-
thing wrong in society, and peo-
ple are going to want to complain
about it. My time at The Kansan
is done, but there will always be
liberal loudmouths around. They
just wont be as good-looking as
me.

Style imitation is no new thing
T
he Kansas Union has
recently started enforcing
a policy that hurts student
groups. The KU Ceramics Club
holds a sale every semester at the
Union, along with students from
the textiles and blacksmithing
departments. This semester, they
were told they would be charged
$100 a day to reserve the space,
and therefore had to cancel the
sale.
Small student groups, such as
the Ceramics Club, cannot afford
to spend $300 (for the three days
the sale was scheduled for) of
their profits on renting space. The
rationalization behind this fee is
that groups who are charging a
fee or selling a product should
put some of the money back into
the Union. However, when it is a
student group that is not making
a considerable amount of money,
they should be treated with spe-
cial consideration.
The Union is meant to serve
the students. This rule not only
hurts art students, but prevents
other students from experienc-
ing their work. Additionally,
there will be more student groups
that have to take their events to
another location. Moving student
events off campus will draw more
people away from the Union.
Tierney Cacioppo, a senior
from Overland Park and mem-
ber of the Ceramics Club, said
the club thought about trying to
hold the event somewhere else,
but ended up having to cancel it
completely.
This has never happened
before, Cacioppo said. Its tough
to schedule a new event at the
end of the semester.
Some of the money from this
sale would have gone to funding
a trip to the National Council on
Education for the Ceramic Arts,
which the club attends every year.
Gene Wee, coordinator at the
Union, said, There has been
a clarification of when we do
charge and when we dont charge
for student groups and university
departments.
Wee said the rule had been
in place for some time but in
the past the group had not been
charged by mistake.
When the Ceramics Club
asked why it was being charged
this semester, unlike its last sale
in Fall 2009, it was told lots of
things had changed from last
semester.
The Union has not raised the
rates to reserve a room, which
is commendable, but this policy
enforcement still needs to be
amended.
If the Union is going to start
enacting a policy that has such a
great effect on students, it should
consider the size of the group and
event. Though this might take
more time and examination, it
will be worth the effort because it
is in the best interest of students.

Policy hurts student groups
I
n the 1930s, women made
the majority of all household
purchases. Therefore, they
were the main target of advertis-
ers. Among these women, going
to the movies was a common
pastime. The Hollywood glam-
our of the silver screen inspired
these ordinary women to act like
their favorite actresses. Logically,
advertisers and filmmakers part-
nered up and used Hollywood
actresses to promote items in
films. Thus, product placement
was born.
Hollywood actresses became
spokeswomen not only for prod-
ucts, but also for fashion. Much
like today, many female audience
members wanted to emulate their
favorite actresses. The movie
industry capitalized on this, by
helping ordinary women iden-
tify with actresses. Women were
encouraged to find actresses with
seemingly similar personality
traits and senses of style.
For example, women who iden-
tified with Katherine Hepburn
preferred to wear mens style
pants and simple outfits. The
sexy, bombshell type preferred to
dress like Jean Harlow, in silky,
sexy bias-cut halter dresses and
bleached platinum blonde hair.
Glamorous, sophisticated women
looked up to Marlene Dietrich.
Today, fashion is still inspired
by what celebrities are wearing.
Of course, a lot of red carpet
glamour is too over the top to
wear in the real world. Still, the
iconic looks of actresses and
musicians can be easily adapted
into simpler, everyday versions.
So which fashion type are you?
The Lady Gaga: You like to
say something with your outfit.
When you arrive at the party,
your unique style grabs every-
ones attention. Gagas ensembles
are about organized chaos. Her
clothes go against the norm, but
she still looks put together and
chic. To make Gagas wardrobe
work for you, aim for bold but
classic. Find a standard look like
a blazer, and Gaga-ify it by add-
ing something three dimensional
and sparkly to the shoulders.
Dont forget to amp up your out-
fit with one-of-a-kind accessories.
Gagas look isnt complete without
a pair of glamorous sunglasses
and an outrageous hairstyle.
The Taylor Swift: Take it
from Taylor herself: She wears
high heels and you wear sneakers.
Taylor is naturally gorgeous,
has great confidence and doesnt
need a lot of dressing up to look
great. If your closet is full of
comfy casuals, then you might
best identify with Taylor. You also
like to dress up once in a while,
and when you do you look extra
fabulous because of your natural
beauty. It doesnt take a lot for
you to look good; just show off
your mega-watt smile. To embody
Taylors carefree beauty, wear
simple makeup, let your hair
down and dont forget your cow-
boy boots.
The LC: As much as we love
to hate Lauren for being famous
for nothing, she does have style.
If you dress like LC, you like pair-
ing classic with feminine, cute
and preppy.
Alone, the pieces in your out-
fit are pretty simple, but when
paired together with some chic
accessories you look like an
instant socialite. To create LC
style, look for simple solids such
as a plain tank tucked into a
high-waisted skirt. Simply pair
this look with a cardigan and
sophisticated accessories such as
a charm necklace.

Chevron gave the
university more than
simple energy
I feel the readers of The Kansan
should be aware that the editorial
Small steps, big effects mischar-
acterizes the relationship between
the University and Chevron
Energy Solutions (CES).
The performance contract
implemented by CES at the
University has produced more
than $18 million worth of facil-
ity infrastructure improvements.
Since 2004, CES has reduced
the Universitys purchase of util-
ity power, resulting in reduced
carbon emissions by an average
of 128 million pounds per year,
which is equivalent to planting
2,735 acres of trees. In addition,
CES has provided educational
materials and internships to stu-
dents and worked with faculty
and staff to teach about energy
through presentations, energy
fairs and newsletters.
CES guaranteed energy sav-
ings of $1.5 million. Although the
actual savings were $1 million,
CES honored its contract and
paid the energy savings shortfall
to the University each contract
year. This is the way an energy
performance contract works,
and CES fully performed its
obligations. The original energy
savings estimate was difficult to
calculate, resulting in increased
energy usage that needed to be
taken into consideration when
calculating the energy savings.
Therefore, the University and
CES amended the contract
and mutually agreed on a fixed
number for the energy savings
shortfall because of the complex-
ity of factoring in the Universitys
building changes that impacted
energy usage.
CES continues to be a trusted
energy management partner to
the University by providing ser-
vices that allow the University to
review energy usage data every 15
minutes instead of on a monthly
basis. In addition, energy savings
will continue to be generated well
into the future. Students, staff and
faculty will continue to enjoy the
infrastructure upgrades brought
about by this partnership.

KU pharmacy group
awarded $2,000
The kU chapter of the Asso-
ciation of Professional Pharma-
cists was one of 10 chapters
nationwide to receive a $2,000
award for a proposal to Project
cHAnce.
Project cHAnce, or chapters
Helping Advocate for needy
communities everywhere, is a
national organization that seeks
to assist needy patients, who
are most often uninsured or
underinsured. Project cHAnce
provides aid to community
health centers and clinics that
typically serve those with low
incomes.
Zahra nasrazadani, a second-
year pharmacy student from
emporia, wrote the award-
winning proposal titled Project
PAce, or Patients Achieving
compliance via education.
Project PAce is a three-tiered
plan to help patients acquire a
better understanding of their
medical conditions and medica-
tions, without all the health care
jargon, nasrazadani said.
some of the phrases that
the medical world uses are
not commonly used in normal
conversation, and I think a lot
of practitioners forget that,
nasrazadani said.
After her frst year of
pharmacy school, nasrazadani
did a pharmacy rotation in her
hometown of emporia. she said
she was inspired by the eforts
of the Lyon county Health
department to incorporate
spanish on medical signs
throughout the clinic and ofer
translators, so that a language
barrier did not interfere with
medical assistance.
It could often be a life or
death situation, and even if they
dont speak english, it is neces-
sary to communicate no matter
what, nasrazadani said. They
are defnitely deserving of the
same treatment as anybody
else.
With Project PAce, nasraza-
dani sought to develop a plan
that would require community
health centers and clinics to
incorporate diferent lan-
guages on signs, pamphlets,
prescriptions and other forms
of medical instruction. In addi-
tion to ofering explanations in
diferent languages, nasraza-
danis proposal also requires
practitioners to explain medical
treatments in simpler terms that
patients can understand.
even for people who speak
english, sometimes the words
the doctors are using just make
no sense at all, nasrazadani
said.
nasrazadani accepted the
award at the American Phar-
macists Association national
meeting in March in Washing-
ton, d.c. during the 2010-2011
school year she will work with
other pharmacy students to
develop and implement Project
PAce in douglas county.

$100 bills to passers-by as he ran

a Huntington Bank branch early
Monday afternoon after showing
a teller a gun in his waistband.
Trombitas said the man was run-

window-shopping.
The robber stopped and gave
them each a $100 bill, assured
them it was real, then kept run-
ning. Trombitas said the mother
and daughter from the cleveland
area were in town for a visit to
ohio state.
They took the money to the
nearest bank which turned out
to be the Huntington branch that
was just robbed, and there told
police what happened.

ongratulations to the
NCAA for not com-
pletely messing up the
best thing in college sports the
NCAA basketball tournament.
The NCAA has decided against
the proposed expansion to a
96-team field. Instead it is adding
only three additional slots, mak-
ing a 68-team field, to appease
the lower-level conferences.
Thankfully, the NCAA is keep-
ing the tournament relatively the
same so far.
A commission will meet in
Indianapolis in two weeks to
discuss the possible restructur-
ing of the tournament because of
the new 68-team field. But this
meeting is a waste of time. There
is only one option: to keep the
tournament in its traditionally
popular form.
Expanding the field to 68
teams doesnt require breaking
up the current successful format.
Essentially, there would just be a
play-in game in each bracket sim-
ilar to the opening round game
played between the 64th and 65th
teams in years past.
Any other proposals to change
the overall design of the tourna-
ment would simply be fixing
something that isnt broken.
The expansion seemed inevi-
table because of the increasing
talent in lower-level conferences
across the country, and the busi-
ness dilemma that was facing the
NCAA.
The NCAAs contract with CBS
ended after the 2010 season and
there was a question of whether
the contract would be taken over
by ESPN. But a lucrative deal
with CBS-Turner may have saved
the tournaments current format.
CBS-Turner signed a deal
giving the NCAA $10.8 billion
over the next 14 years. For now
CBS-Turner is sticking with
a 68-team tournament, but it
isnt known whether it will keep
this format past 2011. NCAA
interim president Jim Isch has
refused to say whether the NCAA
tournament would stick with this
68-team structure beyond next
year.
The NCAA cannot let college
basketball follow in the footsteps
of the bowl system in college
football, which recently added 35
bowl games so more programs
could have further success in
their seasons. Sure, that might fill
the gap of generosity deep in the
their hearts, but who really wants
to watch two 6-6 teams play
against each other in the Dallas
Football Classic? The change
wasnt about more entertainment;
it was about more money.
My advice to the NCAA com-
mission is to leave the basketball
tournament alone. Dont get car-
ried away chasing more money.
Youll only lose viewers.

Softball senior leaves legacy in community service
By Zach GetZ
zgetz@kansan.com
While attending a KU soft-
ball camp her senior year of high
school, senior outfielder Ally
Stanton was mistaken for a middle
school camper.
They thought I was some prod-
igy 14-year-old, Stanton said.
After the coaching staff realized
Stanton was actually a prospect,
they offered her a walk-on posi-
tion. Living in St. Louis and com-
ing from Mizzou country, she got
teased when she broke the news to
her peers.
I got razzed a lot and took some
heat for becoming a Jayhawk,
Stanton said.
At the end of her first year, she
started to receive a scholarship.
Through her four years at Kansas,
coaches moved Stanton all around,
having her fill in wherever needed.
Ive played every role on this
team, Stanton said. Ive been a
starter. Ive been a defensive spe-
cialist where I come in for the last
few innings. Ive been a pinch-
hitter and Ive been a pinch-run-
ner. Ive been someone whos pretty
much not going to see any time on
the field, and has to stay positive on
the bench.
This season, with Stanton not
seeing much playing time, first-
year coach Megan Smith said
Stanton had still been one of the
most supportive teammates any-
one could find.
Its always difficult when youre
not in the lineup and you want to
be, Smith said. You can either be
negative and pull people down, or
be positive and pull people up. She
has definitely taken the positive
route.
Though past players have told
her shell miss the game, Stanton
said her body may be looking for-
ward to the rest.
My arm is telling me I need to
stop, and my hips are telling me I
need to stop, Stanton said. But
Im never going to be ready to just
hang up my cleats.
Stanton said that her career
involved a lot of ups and downs,
but that she had been excited to be
a part of the new softball regime
at Kansas.
I couldnt ask for a better senior
year, Stanton said. Im proud to
be a member of this softball team,
and what Ive accomplished on the
field and off the field.
Off the field she has done a
lot. She spends much of her time
with the Student-Athlete Advisory
Committee, a group of KU student
athletes that helps with community
service events and other programs,
such as the Special Olympics.
One of the projects she helped
spearhead was a recycling pick-up
for the football teams Gatorade
bottles.
Its little projects like that, which
as a regular student you wouldnt
have access to get done, Stanton
said.
SAAC has been a big part of her
life on the softball team, Stanton
said.
Its a huge part of what Ill look
back on as my experience here,
Stanton said.
Kansas rowing joins new conference
Weston White/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Members of Kansas' SecondVarsity Four teamcompete in the Kansas Cup at Wyandotte County Lake April 3. The teamjoined Conference USA Monday to gain automatic qualifying for the NCAA Championship. Kansas will compete in Conference USA's South-Central regional championship May 15 and 16.
By ethan PaDWay
epadway@kansan.com
The rowing team announced
Monday that it has joined
Conference USA as an affiliate
member and will compete in the
first Conference USA champion-
ship at the South-Central regional
championship May 15 and 16.
Rowing is the only NCAA team
sport that does not currently
have automatic qualifying for the
NCAA Championship.
Rowing will not have it until
at least 2013 because in order
for a conference to be eligible
for automatic qualifying it will
need to have at least six members
and have held two conference
championships.
Fellow Big 12 schools Kansas
State, Oklahoma and Texas will
also join the new conference as
affiliate members.
They will be joined in the new
conference by two SEC schools,
Tennessee and Alabama, and three
Conference USA schools, Tulsa,
SMU, and Central Florida.
The Big 12 will continue to
have its own rowing champion-
ship every year in addition to the
new Conference USA champion-
ship.
But with only four schools it
would not have been eligible for
an NCAA automatic bid before
joining Conference USA.
Coach Rob Catloth said the
move to Conference USA would
benefit recruiting because it gave
the team the chance to accomplish
automatic qualifying.
Joining Conference USA will
make it easier for the Jayhawks to
compete for a NCAA title, if they
can win the automatic qualifier.

is a great opportunity for our pro-
gram. The ultimate goal is to reach
the NCAA Championships, and
competing in the Conference USA
Championship is a step in that
direction, Athletics Director Lew
Perkins said in a press release.

ainy and snowy days of months
past kept us athletes inside. Often
we would go to the Ambler
Student Recreation Fitness Center and
enjoy its indoor amenities (basketball,
volleyball, weight-lifting and yoga classes
for some). Other times, the weather pre-
vented us from playing any sports at all.
But these days the sun shines brightly.
Sure, the indoor rec is still a good option
for pickup basketball games and the
rest. But it wont be as packed as before
because everyone will be playing their
sports outside. So grab some shades and
join them.
The Brew will break down some of the
best sports to enjoy under the summer
sun. Dont forget to bring a cool umbrella
drink for the sideline.
Sand Volleyball
Ignore whatever conventions may
have tainted your perception of this sport
skimpy swimwear is not a rule. Even
though I prefer to rock the Larry Bird
shorts on the sand, not every volleyballer
must show off his or her thighs. No mat-
ter the apparel, this game is easy to enjoy
for its active and entertaining gameplay
and basic requirements. The only materi-
als you need are some sand, a net, a ball
and more than one person. Three-on-
three volleyball is great, but you cant go
wrong with the conventional two-on-two.
The rules are entirely up to you. Feel free
to bend them to increase your chances of
winning and the credibility of your ensu-
ing trash talk.
blacktop baSketball
If you dont possess the skills to shake
Allen Fieldhouse to its foundation, give an
outdoor court a try. If you can find a way
to take advantage of nature, you could
have an uneven jump-shot and still hold
a leg up on the competition. For example:
Give the opponents the hoop that faces
the blinding rays of the sun.
Also, after an exhausting game of one-
on-one, three-on-three, or even five-on-
five, a simple energy-restoring game of
H-O-R-S-E, P-I-G or O-S-T-E-R-T-A-G is
highly recommended.

capture the Flag
Ahhh, an old-time favorite. This games
rules vary by area code, but its good cha-
otic fun wherever you go. No matter how
you play the game, the three common
staples are as follows: a flag, a boundary
and a jail. You can take it from there, but
the basic object of the game is to take the
opposing teams flag (located on its side
of the boundary), and take it to your side
without getting tagged.
Some of the greatest arguments in
sports history have arisen from capture
the flag. Like baseball, this game begs for
instant replay.
Thanks for reading the Morning Brew
this year and dont forget to play some
outdoor sports.

Boston Red Sox defeat L.A. Angels
By JIMMy GoLEn
associated Press
BOSTON Jeremy Hermida
hit a bases-clearing triple to
break an eighth-inning tie, and
Jon Lester pitched eight innings
of five-hit ball Tuesday to lead
the Boston Red Sox to a 5-1
victory over the Los Angeles
Angels.
The Angels have started
a 10-game road trip with five
straight losses.
One night after putting up 17
runs in the series opener, the
Red Sox were quiet until the
eighth, when they scored four
times to turn a 1-1 game into a
5-1 blowout.
Lester (2-2) gave up one run,
walking two and striking out
five before Jonathan Papelbon
pitched a perfect ninth in a non-
save situation. Marco Scutaro
had three hits, including a pair of
doubles, to help the Red Sox win
their second in a row since being
swept over the weekend by the
lowly Baltimore Orioles.
Kevin Jepsen (0-1) took the
loss for the Angels, giving up
four runs on two hits and three
walks while getting just two outs
in the eighth.
Mike Napoli had three of the
Angels five hits. Ervin Santana
got his third straight no-decision
despite allowing just one run in
seven innings.
Los Angeles loaded the bases
with one out in the eighth, but
Lester got out of it when Bobby
Abreu hit a grounder to second
baseman Dustin Pedroia and he
chased down the runner to tag
him before throwing to first to
end the inning.
In the bottom half, Boston
loaded the bases with nobody
out before David Ortiz hit into
a second-to-home-to-first dou-
ble play. After Jepsen walked
his third batter of the inning,
Hermida one-hopped a double
off the Green Monster to make
it 4-1.
Pinch-hitter Mike Lowell dou-
bled off Scott Shields to score
Hermida.

COLUMBIA, Mo. Stuart
Eastman, a Missouri fan and
booster known on one Internet
site as Tiger Stu doesnt buy the
notion that MU officials are just
sitting on the sidelines, waiting
to be contacted by the Big 10
Conference.
Eastman subscribes to a Close
Encounters of the Third Kind
theory. Contact has been made,
if perhaps indirectly, between
Missouri and the Big 10, which
seems poised through expansion
by as many as five teams to
change the face of big-time college
athletics.
Oh sure, Eastman said.
Where theres smoke, theres fire.
Its not like all of a sudden this is
going to take place.
Weve been talked to. Its
happened.
And were being politically cor-
rect and not saying a word because
thats probably the best thing we
can do.
Never mind that within minutes
of Eastman offering up that opin-
ion at an athletic banquet Monday
night at Mizzou Arena, athletics
director Mike Alden once again
did the politically correct thing.
We maintain what our position
has been all along, Alden said.
Were members of the Big 12
Conference. We dont get involved
in that speculation. Were trying to
make Missouri better every day.
Welcome to life inside the
bubble.
Columbia is home to the
20-sport athletic program of the
Missouri Tigers, and the flag-
ship campus of the University of
Missouri system is the focus of
increasing attention of the best
kind.
Thats the way Gary Link, a
former Missouri basketball player
and current radio analyst and spe-
cial assistant to Alden who works
in the Tiger Scholarship Fund
office, sees it.
The speculations great, Link
said. Anytime theyre talking
about you about something like
that, its fantastic.
Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Rutgers,
lately Nebraska and Missouri are
high on the list of possible Big Ten
additions. No matter what list you
consult.
Last week a TV report out of
South Bend, Ind. citing an anony-
mous source out of St. Louis, had
Missouri all but signed and sealed
as a new member of the Big Ten.
A day before, KOMU-TV in
Columbia reported that Mizzou to
the Big Ten was a done deal until
taking down the initial story.
This week, Nebraska chancellor
Harvey Perlman told the Omaha
World-Herald that he anticipated
expansion in some form by late
summer. On Monday, Link told
The Star that expansion could
come before the start of this col-
lege football season.
This despite Big 10 commission-
er Jim Delany reiterating recently
the leagues intent on keeping to
a 12- to 18-month investigative
timeline, with the clock only hav-
ing begun to tick in the middle of
last December.
The effect of this speculative
swirl on Missouri athletes and
coaches is disparate.
It would surprise me a lot, said
freshman basketball guard Michael
Dixon when asked whether he
anticipated an announcement by
Missouri as early as September.
Senior basketball guard J.T.
Tiller, meanwhile, said it would
not surprise him at all.
Weve heard the talk, Tiller
said. Its everywhere. The more
talk you hear the more it is a con-
sideration.
Kim English, a sophomore MU
basketball player, said, I wouldnt
be surprised. I love the Big 12.
But Im just ready to play winning
basketball anywhere. I dont really
care where.
Michelle Collins, a senior on
Missouris Big 12 champion soc-
cer team from Naperville, Ill., in
the heart of Big 10 country trusts
the MU administration will do the
right thing.
As long as Mizzou continues to
grow, if moving to the Big 10 helps
that notoriety, sure, go for it,
Collins said. If not, Mizzou ath-
letics is still due for big things.
Missouri softball coach Ehren
Earleywine is one of those who
profess a preference for remaining
in the Big 12.
But Earleywine said, it wouldnt
surprise me if MU wound up in
the Big 10 sooner than later.
Rumors fying about Missouri's afliation with the Big 10
When she first arrived on
campus, she said, the softball
team had little participation in
SAAC. She helped changed that,
and this season the softball team
won the Champs competition,
a contest between all the KU
teams to see who gets the most
involved with SAAC.
To ensure that SAAC is left
in good hands, Stanton helped
recruit some of the freshmen
to participate, including fresh-
man pitcher and outfielder Alex
Jones.
Jones said Stantons love for
her team had led to her success
in the organization.
She goes out of her way to
put so much time into it, Jones
said. When she has her mind
set on something shes going to
get it done.

Bettys say bye to season, seniors
BY NICOLAS ROESLER
nroesler@kansan.com

The regional tournament in
Austin, Texas last weekend turned
out to be the last time six seniors
would play for the womens ulti-
mate frisbee team, the Bettys.
The six graduating key play-
ers Charlie Bittle, Emily Hadel
(co-captain), Steph Horner,
Kristen Klenow, Tasha Parman
and Maggee VanSpeybroeck (co-
captain) left regionals with a
ninth-place finish after entering
the tournament ranked eighth.
These girls have been a Betty
for two to five years and theyre
excited to continue supporting the
program as alumnae, said Emily
Marotta, team
president and
a junior from
Chicago.
The Bettys
played their
opening game
S a t u r d a y
against Truman
State and won
a close con-
test 15-14.
Although the
victory was
a good start to the tournament,
one of the starting-line players,
Horner, suffered a class-two con-
cussion and, after an emergency
room visit, was unable to compete
for the rest of
the weekend.
The loss of
a key player,
combined with
playing the
number one
team in the
region in the
second round,
resulted in a
hard loss for
the Bettys,
15-0. The
Bettys suffered another loss to
Rice University.
Because this tournament was
in double-elimination format, the
Bettys were out of the race for the
championship. The Bettys faced
Oklahoma Sunday to battle for
ninth place.
The Bettys were able to end
the weekend on a positive note
and send their seniors off with an
impressive victory, 15-0.
This marks the end of the Bettys
season, but they will be travel-
ing to Madison, Wisc., later this
month to support the mens ulti-
mate team, The HorrorZontals, as
they play in the national champi-
onship tournament.

nroesler@kansan.com

The mens Ultimate Frisbee
team, The Horrorzontals, entered
the Regionals tournament this
weekend as a number two seed.
The players knew they had to
leave the tournament with at least
the same ranking to make the
Nationals Tournament later in
May.
The first two games of the tour-
nament were close contests but the
Zontals were able to hold on to
victories against Mississippi (15-
12) and Washington University
(15-13). This propelled the
Zontals into semifinals against a
long-time rival: North Texas.
The game remained close until
the score was 6-5 in favor of the
Zontals. But the Zontals broke
free and rattled off five points,
going up 11-6 and ultimately fin-
ishing with a win of 15-8. This
meant the Zontals would play
in the finals against Texas State
Sunday.
They went down a quick two
points at the beginning of the
finals game, but then battled back,
and tied it at two-a-piece. The
rest of the game the teams traded
points until Texas State took a
halftime lead at 8-6. The second
half never came
together for the
Zontals. They
only scored three
points and lost
15-9. This gave
Texas State one of
the automatic bids
to the national
tournament later
in May.
It was a
tough loss, but
we needed to keep our heads up
so we could try to win the back
door game for the second bid to
Nationals and extend our season
by one more
t o u r n a -
ment, Alex
Gareis, club
pr e s i de nt ,
said.
That game
came later on
Sunday when
the Zontals
faced anoth-
er regional
rival, the
University of Texas. Texas had
won the regional tournament five
years straight, knocking out the
Zontals in the final game the past
four years.
The first half of the match-
up that would send one team to
nationals, and one home, was a
closely contested battle ending in
a score of 8-7 at half. The defenses
for both teams were playing so
well, according to Gareis, that
each point took a long time to
score. The timecap blew with the
score tied at 10-all, meaning that a
sudden death point would decide
the game.
Gareis said that at this point,
sophomore Bruce Tuschhoff ral-
lied the team by yelling This is
why we play Ultimate! After a
few turnovers by each team, the
Zontals finally made their way in
to Texas end zone.
Senior captain Ryan Bigley
threw the game winning lob to
Justin Kaminsky for an emotional
game-winning score that sent the
entire Zontals team rushing on
to the field.
It was a surreal moment, said
Gareis, rushing the field to cel-
ebrate our win and advancing to
Nationals.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
Students at the
University of
Virginia and
across the region
were stunned
Monday after a
varsity lacrosse
player was found
slain in her
apartment and
a member of the
mens team was
charged in her
murder.
Yeardley Love, a 22-year-old
senior from Cockeysville, Md., was
discovered by a roommate who
called police with a report of pos-
sible alcohol poisoning.
Officers who responded to the
2:30 a.m. call immediately real-
ized that this young lady was the
victim of something far worse,
said Charlottesville Police Chief
Timothy J. Longo Sr. There were
obvious physical injuries to her
body.
Hours later, they arrested
George Huguely, 22, a Chevy
Chase, Md., native and varsi-
ty player on the mens lacrosse
team, and charged him with first-
degree murder. He was being held
in the Charlottesville-Albemarle
Regional Jail.
We know that there was
previously a relationship between
the two, although we dont know
what the
rel at i onshi p
was now,
Longo said,
adding that
there are
no other
suspects.
Love was
dead when
police arrived,
said Longo,
who would
not disclose details of her injuries.
The cause of death would be deter-
mined by an autopsy, he said, add-
ing that no weapon was involved.
Love and Huguely were expect-
ed to graduate later this month.
News of the murder sped
through the network of high-level
lacrosse players, shocking not only
them but their families, friends
and educators, who immediately
began mourning the loss.
Loves coaches and teachers
described her as a fun-loving
teammate and fine athlete who
left an indelible imprint on those
around her.
She was our laughter and she was
the core personality of the 2005-
06 team at Notre Dame Prep, said
Mary Bartel, the schools lacrosse
coach. She was a happy-go-lucky
kid. She was a good soul.
Chris Robinson, the head
girls lacrosse coach at the rival
McDonogh School, said his inbox
filled with so many texts and
e-mails within a two-hour period
this morning, everybody saying,
Did you hear? Did you hear?
It is a very small close-knit
community who really care for
each other and were not used to
some sort of tragedy like this,
said Robinson, who never coached
Love but remembered her skills.
The community is all behind
Notre Dame Prep and the fam-
ily, and our sympathy goes out to
them.
A knock on the door at the
familys home at the edge of Oregon
Ridge Park was answered by a
woman who said Loves relatives
would have
no comment.
After being
notified of
the death by
a Baltimore
County police
officer, Loves
m o t h e r ,
S h a n n o n
D o n n e l l y
L o v e ,
travelled to
Charlottesville on Monday,
according to the funeral home
handling the arrangements. The
girls father died in 2003.
Bartel, a coach for 29 years,
had visited the family and said
they were doing
as well as could
be expected.
Charlottesville
investigators will
examine wheth-
er Huguely had
been the subject
of prior violence
complaints, par-
ticularly during
his relationship
with Love, the
police chief said.
Huguely was a lacrosse All-
American at the Landon School in
Bethesda, where he was a quarter-
back on the football team. Listed in
the Virginia athletics media guide
as 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weighing
209 pounds, he played midfield.
The Virginia mens squad fin-
ished the regular season with a
14-1 record, and is ranked No. 2
in a Baltimore Sun poll released
Tuesday.
The womens team, ranked fifth
by the Sun, has a 14-4 record.
Both are expected to play in the
NCAA post-season tournament
which will crown its champion in
Baltimore this month.
The Virginia mens coach,
Dom Starsia would not comment
Monday. Were still trying to fig-
ure things out, he said.

NHL
Penguins goalie makes 18
saves in 2-0 playof victory
associated Press
MONTREAL Evgeni Malkin
scored a power-play goal 1:16 into
the third period and Marc-Andre
Fleury made 18 saves for his fourth
NHL playoff shutout, lifting the
Pittsburgh Penguins to a 2-0 win
over the Montreal Canadiens on
Tuesday night and a 2-1 lead in
the Eastern Conference semifinal
series.
Malkin took Sergei Gonchars
pass and fired a one-timer from
the right side past Jaroslav Halak to
give the Penguins a 1-0 edge. Alex
Goligoski also assisted on Malkins
fifth goal of the playoffs, but first
since Game 4 of the Penguins first-
round win against Ottawa.
Pascal Dupuis scored into an
empty net with 15 seconds remain-
ing to seal the victory.
Fleury slid across to make a left
pad stop on Michael Cammalleris
shot from the right side with 7:33
remaining. He stuck out his right
pad to thwart Tomas Plekanecs
redirection on Cammalleris cen-
tering feed during a Canadiens
power play late in the third. It was
Fleurys first playoff shutout since a
6-0 win over Philadelphia on May
18, 2008.
Pittsburgh outshot Montreal
25-18, including 13-3 in the sec-
ond.
Halak stopped 23 shots for the
Canadiens, who have lost seven
of eight playoff games at home,
including three of four this year.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
MILWAUKEE _ No one did it
quite like Alan Kulwicki.
Kulwicki was the first NASCAR
champion to have a college degree
when he won the Winston Cup.
The Greenfield, Wis., native
was the first Northerner to con-
quer the sport. And he was the last
owner / driver to do so.
Although Kelsey Bauer was only
4 when Kulwicki died in an air-
plane crash a few months later, she
can relate to his trailblazing path.
Like Kulwicki, she is major-
ing in mechanical engineering
at the University of Wisconsin-
Milwaukee. Like Kulwicki, she is
competing on Wisconsins short
tracks between semesters.
And to hopefully redline the
trailblazing tach needle Kulwicki
once pushed, Bauer dreams of
one day becoming NASCARs first
female champ.
I know Alan raced locally and
also went to school, which is very
hard to do, said the junior from
Elkhart Lake, Wis. Its a lot of
work, but I love it so much. Im
going for engineering, just like he
did. We pretty much have the same
background. Id just like to follow
his footsteps.
Its fitting, then, that she was
recently awarded the first Alan
Kulwicki Memorial Scholarship
at UWM. The gift will include
the opening of the Alan Kulwicki
Memorial Student Center at UWM
May 14.
Located on the first floor of the
Engineering Math Sciences, the
exhibit will showcase Kulwicki
memorabilia. His helmet, gloves,
UWM textbooks, papers and
notebooks will be among the items
meant to inspire those like Bauer.
If you asked a lot of people
where he went to school, I bet they
couldnt tell you, she said. This
shows somebody important came
from UWM.
It also shows the value of a col-
lege degree in a profession where
the competitors usually dont carry
slide rules.
That Kulwicki did distinguished
him from most of his fellow driv-
ers. He was a scientific racer in
every sense, understanding the
mechanics of the car from the first
of its eight cylinders to the last of
its 750 horses.
It makes you a better driver
knowing more about your car and
making the adjustments you need
to make, Bauer said. It helps you
communicate with your team on
how the car is handling.
She began racing at age 12 on
the go-kart circuit and won mul-
tiple championships in six years.
My dad got me into it, Bauer
said. He had three girls, and he
always wanted a son. I was always
the competitive one. One day he
took me a go-kart track. I said,
Dad, I can do that some day. So
he bought me a go-kart and I
started doing very well my first
year out.
She recently graduated to
late-model racing, following the
Slinger-Wisconsin Dells-Madison
path Kulwicki made before hitting
the big time.
My goal has always been to get
as far as I can in racing, but also go
to school and get a degree as well,
because its not easy making it in
NASCAR, Bauer said.
Just as female drivers are no
longer novelties, more women are
enrolling in engineering schools.
Bauer said being the only girl on
the track early on helped her in
both pursuits.
So does the Kulwicki legacy.
Id like to thank his family for
helping me, she said. Its going
to help me not give up and work
as hard as I possibly can because I
know he did it. So I can do it.

Pittsburgh comes back after four home losses
BY ALAN ROBINSON
associated Press
PITTSBURGH Ryan
Churchs two-run homer put
Pittsburgh ahead in the sixth
inning, Andy LaRoche added a
solo shot and the Pirates bounced
back from a poor road trip to beat
the Cubs and Ryan Dempster 3-2
Tuesday night.
The Pirates dropped seven
games during a season-long
10-game road trip and had lost 10
of 13 overall before withstanding
solo homers by Alfonso Soriano
and Geovany Soto to win for the
first time in their last four home
games.
The Cubs, coming off a three-
game weekend sweep of Arizona,
fell to 13-14 while failing to break
.500 for the first time this sea-
son. They had won 10 of their
last 14 against
Pittsburgh, and
Dempster was
3-0 with a 3.73
ERA in five
starts against
them since
2008.
With the
Cubs stranding
12 runners, the
Pirates won for
only the second time in 16 games
when they scored three runs or
fewer. They are 9-1 when they
score four runs or more.
Paul Maholm (2-2) got the
decision despite allowing the two
solo home runs and six other
hits over six innings. Evan Meek
pitched out of
a jam in the
seventh before
Joel Hanrahan
pitched a score-
less eighth.
Octavio Dotel,
who came in
with a 10.61
ERA, finished
up for his
fourth save
in six opportunities after being
scored upon in six consecutive
appearances.
The Pirates trailed 2-1 after
Soriano hit his seventh homer
and fifth in four games in
the fourth inning and Soto added
a two-out drive in the sixth, his
fourth. Soriano, coming off a two-
homer game Sunday, went deep
for the fourth consecutive game.
Dempster (2-2) got the first
two batters in the sixth ahead
of Garrett Jones infield single.
Church starting in center field
only because Andrew McCutchen
sat out with a sprained right ankle
followed by hitting a line drive
off the first row of seats in right
field. Church hadnt homered
since Aug. 7.
The Cubs, coming of a
three-game weekend
sweep of Arizona fell ... for
the frst time this season.

Nationals
win 6-3
with help
of pitcher
BY JOSEPH WHITE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Livan
Hernandez had his season-low in
innings and his season-high in
pitches, yet he still managed to
keep his ERA below 1.00 as he
pitched the Washington Nationals
to a 6-3 victory over the Atlanta
Braves Tuesday night.
The 35-year-old right-hander
allowed two runs one earned
while throwing 123 pitches over 5
1-3 innings for the Nationals, who
moved back to two games above
.500 (14-12) and are making a run
for first place in May, rare territory
for the franchise in recent years.
Hernandez (4-1) walked five,
and the earned run he allowed a
homer by rookie Jason Heyward
raised his ERA from 0.87 all the
way to 0.99. Matt Capps earned
his majors-leading 11th save in
11 tries.
Josh Willingham, Ian Desmond
and Adam Dunn hit solo home
runs as the Nationals snapped
Atlantas three-game winning streak
and handed the Braves their eighth
straight road loss, the franchises
longest road skid since 1996.
Every starting position player
for Washington except Ryan
Zimmerman had at least one hit,
and Ivan Rodriguez singled twice
to raise his average to .406.
Braves starter Kenshin Kawakami
(0-5), seeking his first win since
Aug. 31, allowed three runs and
seven hits including the homers
to Willingham and Dunn over
five innings.
Barajas solo homer in ninth rallies Mets against Reds
BY JOE KAY
Associated Press
CINCINNATI Rod Barajas
hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the
ninth inning Tuesday night, ral-
lying the New York Mets to a 5-4
victory after the Cincinnati Reds
had caught up with a homer of
their own upheld after a review.
Barajas hit the first pitch from
closer Francisco Cordero (1-2)
deep into the seats in left-center
field, his seventh homer overall.
The catcher has homered five
times in his last nine games.
The Mets blew a 4-2 lead in the
eighth when Joey Votto and Scott
Rolen hit back-to-back homers off
Fernando Nieve. Rolens homer
was upheld by an umpires review
the ball cleared the wall before
a fan touched it.
Pedro Feliciano (1-0) got the
final out in the eighth. Francisco
Rodriguez pitched a perfect ninth
for his fourth save in five tries,
ending the Mets three-game los-
ing streak.
Votto had two of Cincinnatis
six hits, including a solo homer
with two outs in the eighth off
Nieve that cut it to 4-3. Three
pitches later, Rolen hit a drive to
center. Angel Pagan jumped but
couldnt reach it. A man in a Reds
shirt reached up and touched the
ball after it cleared Pagans glove.

Jayhawks expecting
tough doubleheader
kansas will make its fnal road
trip of the season at 4 p.m. when
it travels to des Moines, Iowa for
a doubleheader against drake.
kansas is currently 19-32 (1-15).
drake is 30-18, but has lost seven
of its last nine.
coach Megan smith said
drake could potentially be an at-
large bid for the ncaa softball
Tournament and it would be a
tough couple of games.
drake has played a really
tough schedule and has had a
really successful season, smith
said. Theyre a really scrappy
team and well balanced.
smith said the team needed
to keep doing what it had done
all year to be successful.
Theyre a legit team and we
have to go up there and focus
on what we need to do, focus on
fundamentals and fght, smith
said.
kansas will close out the regu-
lar season saturday at 2 p.m.
when it plays host to Iowa state
for a two game series at arrocha
Ballpark.

USC experiences
lots of changes
Usc ended spring practice
a year ago with Pete carroll
and aaron corp as the coach
and quarterback, but things
have changed: here, there and
everywhere.
carroll has since opted for
riches, and corp, well, he opted
for Richmond.
and the star of Uscs spring
game on saturday was Mitch
Mustain.
a lot of scalp scratching
can happen between college
football seasons. example: Lane
kifn now graces the masthead
at Usc, while John Robinson is
an assistant high school coach.
With carroll no longer in town
to take post-game exception,
stanford coach Jim Harbaugh
recently signed of on a promo-
tional 2010 ticket plan dubbed
Whats your deal?
Bobby Bowden, after 34
years, is no longer Florida states
coach. Joe Paterno still coaches
at Penn state, but no longer
needs glasses after undergoing
laser surgery. Rich Rodriguez
remains at Michigan, although
the ncaa Infractions committee
may soon demand corrective
lenses.
The Big Ten is thinking of
expanding to 16, which may put
the bulldozer to colleges confer-
ence landscape. notre dame
remains a staunch football
independent.
