With summer around the corner,
many students will spend their break
away from books working intern-
ships, both paid and unpaid.
Regardless of major, students can
apply their academic knowledge
in a workplace environment while
gaining valuable experience for their
future career.
Internships are being sought by
more and more KU students because
they realize how important intern-
ships are in their future job search,
said Erin Wolfram, assistant director
of career networks at the University
Career Center. Employers are really
seeking candidates that have hands
on related experience.
Wolfram said internships relating
to engineering, business, journal-
ism, strategic communications and
nonprofit organizations were most
prevalent. While internships relat-
ing to more technical fields such as
business and engineering are usually
paid from $10 an hour to over $20
an hour those in journalism, mar-
keting, and nonprofit organizations
are often not, she said.
In fact, a journalistic organization
now faces a lawsuit because of unpaid
internships. Hearst Corporation,
publisher of Harpers Bazaar fashion
magazine, faces a lawsuit from for-
mer intern Xuedan Wang, a recent
graduate from Ohio State University,
according to Reuters.
Wang worked at the magazine
from August through December of
last year, and her case claims her
internship violated labor laws.
If the interns werent doing the
work then they would have to hire
someone else to do it, said Elizabeth
Wagoner, lawyer of Wang.
The Hearst Corporation claims
no violation occurred under the Fair
Labor Standards Act, which allows
academic credit to be considered
proper compensation.
Overall, Wolfram thought half of
University students internships were
paid, which has remained consistent
over the years.
While making money as a student
is preferred, Wolfram still encour-
aged students to pursue unpaid
internships.
A lot of unpaid opportunities
provide a lot of valuable experience,
Wolfrom said. Its the experience
that really makes the difference on
a resume.
A study conducted by the Collegiate
Employment Research Institute at
Michigan State University found
that more than one third of com-
panies were expanding their intern-
ship programs. Sixty-six percent of
companies offered paid internships,
18 percent offered unpaid, and the
remaining 16 percent offered both
types. The study found that recruit-
ment had increased in the past year
and a half, but found monitoring
the growth of unpaid internships
difficult.
The number of students involved
in internships is also difficult to mon-
itor, Wolfram said, because of the
different ways students find them.
Some find internships through pro-
fessors, family members, or career
services.
But regardless of where they find
them, students are able to gain class
credit for their experience.
An internship allows students
to fulfill a graduation requirement
or elective while reflecting on their
experience, Wolfram said.
As for when to look for them,
Jolene Phillips, Assistant Director
of Business Career Services in the
School of Business, suggests look-
ing early.
The main recruiting time is in
the fall for internships starting the
following summer, Phillips said.
While most students opt for sum-
mer internships only, some work
them part time during the year.
April 25 marked the day where
economists predicted student debt
would hit $1 trillion, according to
Andrew Porter, national organizer
of the Young Democratic Socialists
group.
Porter said Wednesday night
in a speech at the Kansas Union
that student debt surpassed credit
card debt as the largest debt in the
United States. Porter and the Young
Democratic Socialists believe the
rise in debt has caused access to
higher education to be a privilege
rather than a right. The event drew
a little more than 20 people, but
Porter feels his presentation had an
impact. Porter believes free high-
er education is possible it is just
whether the government chooses
to pay for it.
The most immediate thing we
can do is to work on the Student
Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012,
Porter said. On top of that, we need
to be pressing state and national
representatives to invest in higher
education, so to actually get them
to put the funding back into higher
education.
The Student Loan Forgiveness
Act would allow forgiveness to bor-
rowers by paying 10 percent of their
discretionary income for 10 years as
long as income is above the poverty
line.
Porter said it would cost the
government about $15 billion to
pay for everyones tuition in college
right now, and it would cost $80
billion if everyone who was eligible
for college attended.
Porter said free higher education
is possible through a two percent
military budget cut. However, in
order for this to be possible, Porter
believes more students need to be
aware of how high student debt is
because they are the ones that can
make free higher education pos-
sible.
Students need to be out on the
street. We need to show that stu-
dents care about this issue, Porter
said. We need to build movements
to get to the point where there are
enough people on the streets to see
this is a real problem. In the same
way Occupy allowed us to shift the
conversation away from budget
deficits toward income inequality,
student movement will allow us to
show that funding is the real prob-
lem.
Jackie Sewell, President of KU
Young Democrat Socialists and
event organizer, believes free higher
education is feasible, but it is still a
work in progress.
Its not going to happen over-
night, Sewell said. It takes a lot
of time for a campaign like this to
reach a lot of people. It will take
a combination of more teach ins,
more events like this and reach-
ing people on an individual level,
whether in the classroom, through
tabling or on campus.
Matt Soener, a senior from
Overland Park, was particularly
motivated by Porters presentation.
Even though the turnout wasnt
great, funding for higher education
is something all students should be
active in, Soener said. If students
cant get politically active in this
issue where it affects all of us then,
there has to be changes and we
need to do a better job of raising
awareness.

university employee
faces rape charges
A University employee charged with
rape in Douglas County still works at
the University, according to Jill Jess,
University spokeswoman.
The 49-year-old Lawrence man was
arrested March 24 on suspicion of rap-
ing his 20-year-old daughter in his
rural home.
Jess wrote in an e-mail that the
University does not have a policy re-
quiring action against personnel if they
are charged with a felony, but could
take action depending on the circum-
stances.
The University takes its respon-
sibilities seriously, Jess wrote. If an
employee is charged with a felony of-
fense, the University will take appropri-
ate personnel action if warranted and
supported by available facts.
During his frst court appearance
March 26, the man asked Douglas
County Pro Tem Judge James George to
lower his $100,000 bond to something
affordable for him so he could return to
his workplace of more than 20 years.
According to Douglas County booking
records, he was released on $75,000
bond two days later.
He is scheduled to appear in court
for a preliminary hearing May 9.

If you could be MADE into
anything, what would it be?
For nine years, teenagers across
the country answered that ques-
tion and tried to transform into
models, actors and athletes with the
help of MTVs MADE. The show
pairs students struggling to reach
their goals with expert coaches then
chronicles their progress.
Last Friday, University students
had the opportunity to audition.
Preston Brown, a sophomore
from Wichita, wants to be made
into a stand-up comedian.
Being visually impaired, a lot of
funny shit happens, and I dont have
a problem talking about it, Brown
said. I just think it would be cool
to share those stories. And I love
attention.
Brown said he has experimented
in acting and comedy for years, but
thought being on MADE could
launch his skills and public profile
to new heights.
The show usually follows high
school students, but casting produc-
er Nathan Johnson said that after 11
seasons, a change was needed.
Its time for MADE to grow
up, Johnson said. We have a really
great formula that really changes
lives, and we wanted to transpose
that to college-age kids..
Johnson has been interviewing
students on campuses for months
and said he decided to come to the
University because it would be a
beautiful place to shoot.
There are a lot of kids who
want opportunities that they cant
get unless theyre in a big city,
Johnson said.
During interviews, Johnson
looks for energetic and honest
people with a great goal. Although
many people want to become rap-
pers, actresses or models, having a
popular goal doesnt automatically
rule a candidate out. Personality

MOSCOw An opposition activ-
ist was detained and beaten Sunday af-
ter he tried to enter Moscows landmark
Christ the Savior Cathedral to pray to
deliver Russia from Vladimir Putin.
Several riot police offcers forced
Roman Dobrokhotov into a police car
just meters (feet) from Russias larg-
est church, widely seen as a symbol of
resurgent Orthodox Christianity after
seven decades of atheist Communist
rule. Dobrokhotov, who leads a small
anti-Kremlin youth movement, heckled
President Dmitry Medvedev during his
speech in the Kremlin in 2008.
Another activist, Mariya Baronova,
of the Resistance anti-Kremlin group,
entered the cathedral, but was cornered
by a group of Orthodox priests and men
who tried to escort her out.
A dozen activists from the militant
Union of Orthodox Banner Bearers group
lined up in front of the cathedral, shout-
ing obscenities at Dobrokhotov and
Baronova. The group is known for dis-
persing gay rallies, and for protesting
against pop star Madonnas shows in
Russia and burning Harry Potter books.
Hours later, when Dobrokhotov was
leaving a police station where he was
held, seven men assaulted him, dam-
aging his ear, he said.
They looked like soccer fans, he
said, referring to burly and aggressive
young men who are often involved in
street fghts and violence after soccer
matches across Russia. Luckily, police
interrupted them and detained one of
them.

QUEttA, Pakistan The body
of a British Red Cross worker held
captive in Pakistan since January was
found in an orchard Sunday, his throat
slit and a note attached to his body
saying he was killed because no ran-
som was paid, police said.
Khalil Rasjed Dale, 60, was man-
aging a health program in the city of
Quetta in southwestern Pakistan when
armed men seized him from a street
close to his offce. The identities of his
captors are unknown, but the region is
home to separatist and Islamist mili-
tants who have kidnapped for ransom
before.
The director-general of the Interna-
tional Committee of the Red Cross con-
demned the barbaric act.
All of us at the ICRC and at the Brit-
ish Red Cross share the grief and outrage
of Khalils family and friends, said Yves
Daccord.
Dales throat had been slit, according
to Safdar Hussain, a doctor who exam-
ined the body.
Quetta police chief Ahsan Mahboob
said the note attached to it read: This
is the body of Khalil who we have slaugh-
tered for not paying a ransom amount.
Militants and criminal gangs often
kidnap wealthy Pakistanis and less com-
monly, foreigners.
British Foreign Secretary William
Hague condemned Dales killing, and
said tireless efforts had been under
way to secure his release after he was
kidnapped.
Khalil had worked for the Red Cross
for years, carrying out assignments in
Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq, the group
said.
Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan
province, lies close to the Afghan border
and for decades has hosted thousands of
refugees from that country. The Red Cross
operates clinics in the city that treat peo-
ple wounded in the war in Afghanistan,
including Taliban insurgents.

EUROPE
LUCKNOw, India Angry
parents are demanding to know why
their kids are being taught about
bombs and knives at nursery schools
in a northern Indian state.
They complain that a book on Hin-
di language alphabets for children
aged 4 to 5 says that B stands for
bomb and Ch for Chaku, or knife.
Pictures accompany the words.
Ram Authar Dixit, president of the
Parents-Student Welfare Association
of Gurukul Academy in Uttar Pradesh
state, said Sunday that the national
education board was investigating
how such a book was cleared for pri-
vate nursery schools.
More than 100 schools in the state
have been using the book.
Javed Alam, a board official,
blamed the book publisher for the
lapse.
The Federal Board of Secondary
Education issues broad guidelines
to state and private schools relat-
ing to books, but leaves the content
to publishers. It steps in in case of
complaints, Alam said.
It is the responsibility of the edu-
cation board to provide clean books
to the students, said Dixit, a par-
ent.
The publisher could not be imme-
diately reached for comment.
Children have an impressionable
mind. If students are taught about
bombs and knives at this stage this
would develop a negative mindset
for them, Ananya Tiwari, a child psy-
chologist, told The Associated Press
in Lucknow, the state capital.

KANO, Nigeria Gunmen at-
tacked church services on a university
campus Sunday in northern Nigeria,
using small explosives to draw out
and gun down panicking worshippers
in an assault that killed at least 16
people, offcials said.
The attackers targeted an old sec-
tion of Bayero Universitys campus
where religious groups use a theater
and other areas to hold worship ser-
vices, Kano state police spokesman
Ibrahim Idris said. The assault left
many others seriously wounded, Idris
said.
By the time we responded, they
entered (their) motorcycles and
disappeared into the neighborhood,
the commissioner said.
After the attack, police and soldiers
cordoned off the campus as gunfre
echoed in the surrounding streets.
Abubakar Jibril, a spokesman for
Nigerias National Emergency Man-
agement Agency, said security forces
refused to allow rescuers to enter the
campus. Soldiers also turned away
journalists from the university.
Andronicus Adeyemo, an offcial
with the Nigerian Red Cross, said a
canvas of local hospitals and morgues
showed the attack killed at least 16
people. A number of people suffered
injuries, though the aid agency did
not immediately have an exact fgure,
Adeyemo said.
No group immediately claimed
responsibility. However, Idris said
the attackers used small explosives
packed inside of aluminum soda cans
for the assault, a method previously
used by a radical Islamist sect known
as Boko Haram.
Diplomats and military offcials
say Boko Haram has links with two
other al-Qaida-aligned terrorist
groups in Africa. Members of the sect
also reportedly have been spotted in
northern Mali which Tuareg rebels
and hardline Islamists seized control
of over the past month.

LOS ANGELES When view-
ers watch a TV program with a tab-
let device, they tend to check their
email, hunt for sports scores or seek
additional information about the
show or a commercial they were
watching on the big screen.
A new report by Nielsen Co.,
released Friday, underscores what
network television researchers have
been preaching for more than a
year: that second screen viewing
appears to augment the TV view-
ing experience rather than steal
away viewers.
Nielsens State of the Media: Ad-
vertising & Audiences report found
that men, when watching TV and
using a tablet simultaneously,
were more likely than women to
look for information related to a
TV program they were watching
(39 percent versus 34 percent).
Women were more inclined to seek
information related to a television
commercial (24 percent versus 21
percent).
Not surprisingly, teenagers with
tablets were far more apt to visit a
social media site while watching
TV than were older baby boomers
and seniors (62 percent versus 33
percent).
Te report also found cultural
diferences in TV watching and
the use of digital video recorders.
Nielsen said that white TV view-
ers use digital video recorders on
a daily basis twice as much as any
other group, while Asian Ameri-
cans appear to spend a higher pro-
portion of their overall TV time
watching their previously recorded
programs.
Adults age 25 to 54 appear to
be heavily infuenced by advertis-
ing. Nielsen said that demographic
group was 23 percent more likely
than the average U.S. Internet user
to follow a brand through social
networking sites.

ISTANBUL Te next James
Bond movie, Skyfall, promises
the usual action, exotic locations,
scheming villains and beautiful
women. For fans of the original
novels by Ian Fleming, theres
more: a journey into the troubled
psyche of the iconic spy.
Afer all, the director of the
23rd flm in the franchise, which
spans half a century, is Sam Men-
des, whose cinematic studies of
personalities in emotional tur-
moil and even meltdown include
American Beauty and Revolu-
tionary Road.
You always go back to the
Fleming because the character
Fleming created over a number of
novels was incredibly complex,
Mendes said Sunday at a news
conference in Istanbul, where the
crew of Skyfall has flmed.
Some people sometimes for-
get in the cliche of Bond, which
is the international playboy, and
someone whos always untrou-
bled, and almost never breaks a
sweat, that actually what (Flem-
ing) created was a very conficted
character, said Mendes, who was
joined by cast members, includ-
ing Bond actor Daniel Craig.
Fleming created a secret agent
who was sometimes frustrated
and ambivalent about his job.
Many Bond movies sidestepped
the inner demons, showcasing
instead a debonair 007 whose ex-
ploits were enhanced with gaudy
gadgets and special efects.
It is Craigs third portrayal
of the spy, and he introduced a
darker side to Bond in his earlier
roles in 2008s Quantum of Sol-
ace in 2008 and Casino Royale
in 2006.
Craig reread Bond novels as
part of his preparation for Sky-
fall.

kids rejecting drugs
for Nevada roller rink
REno, nev. A commercial go-
ing viral on YouTube tells kids to say
no to crack and yes to a nevada
roller rink.
The 90-second spot was developed
for Roller Kingdom in Reno by comedy
duo Rhett mcLaughlin and Link neal.
It had nearly 240,000 views on You-
Tube by midday Friday, four days after
it was posted online.
The campy video features a drug
dealer offering pills to a boy, a man
trying to lure children into a van with
candy, and gang members inviting
kids to spray paint bridges.
The children tell the bad guys
theyd rather be roller skating.
Roller Kingdom owner Brad Arm-
strong tells KRnV-TV that the duo
offered to produce the commercial
for free so they could show it on their
cable TV show, Rhett and Link: Com-
mercial Kings.

I
t sounds really simple and
maybe a little too obvious
to miss, but when I came to
school here, I forgot that I was
learning how to live, not just
how to do research and write
papers.
A friend of mine who has a
couple years left as an under-
grad called me a couple weeks
ago asking for advice. She
wanted to make the rest of her
time in college worthwhile, and
she asked if there was anything
I would have done differently
during my four years if I could
go back.
Im prone to overanalyzing;
so for days and days after she
asked, my mind has wrestled
with this question. I was a tra-
ditional student, going straight
to college after high school and
spending four formative years
at KU, and I will go straight to
graduate school after I graduate
this spring. Ive done things by-
the-book in a lot of ways, and
instead of thinking about how
Id feel at the end, I just kept
plowing ahead, following my
to-do list.
My first instinct was to assess
all the memorable details of my
experiences, especially those
related to academics and student
involvement. I could have done
a better job evaluating my roles
in student organizations each
year, identifying
time wasters,
recognizing dif-
ficulties before
they became
problematic,
staying focused
and organized,
not spread-
ing myself too thin... There are
easily 100 general and specific
complaints I could make against
myself for how I handled my
undergraduate career.
How productive would it be
to analyze these minor points? I
started to realize they wouldnt
make a difference in the larger
scheme of things, and for that
matter, that way of thinking
might be a symptom of a more
pressing problem.
Its really easy for college stu-
dents to get bogged down in the
details. Its even easier to neglect
important parts of yourself,
especially if youre an uptight
type A personality like I am.
By focusing on the minor
things I could have done differ-
ently but probably would not
have mattered much, I would
do myself a disservice by giv-
ing into self derision with no
productive outcome. So many
of my friends have done this on
a routine basis, and it just isnt
healthy. We arent doing our-
selves any favors by beating our-
selves up over inconsequential
moments in the past.
But self reflection can be
beneficial when it comes to the
important things. On that note,
now that Ive started to recog-
nize that I tend to agonize over
small mistakes or details from
the past, I can use that assess-
ment to stop that habit.
This reflection has also
reminded me that those small
things I couldnt change from
the past dont comprise my
whole experience as a student
at KU. The academic experi-
ence I had was wonderful, as
were the various opportunities
for student involvement. But I
realize that I, like some students
do, have made those elements
central to my whole being as an
undergraduate student.
The reality is that when
someone asks me about my
four years in
college, there
is more for me
to think about
than some proj-
ects or events
I worked on.
Sometimes the
more subtle
experiences contribute more to
personal growth. Maybe I didnt
realize that going out to eat on
Mass Street with my friends
or having a good conversation
with a professor was having
an invaluable impact on me at
the time, but those experiences
weaved together have meant just
as much in the bigger picture as
my class assignments.
My point is not that we
should undervalue our scholarly
experience or negate the positive
effects of the parts of our lives
that we plan out on campus. I
just want to remind the students
out there (who might need
reminding as I did) that our
experience here is about more
than that; ones development
as a person is more than ones
development as a student.

O
f Baby Penguins,
Freshman year, and the
Importance of Mentors
Ive surmised that most
freshmen tend to fall into two
camps: either they come in with
absolutely no idea of what they
want to do, like baby penguins
flung out into the depths of
Antarctica, or they come in
fully prepared, ready with a
plan of action of exactly what
theyre going to major in, be
involved with, and do with their
life. Then have the world say
to the latter, Aw, thats ador-
able, but youre a baby penguin,
hush, before being flung out
anyway.
I definitely fall into the latter
camp.
I came to college thinking I
had my four years planned out.
Double major in English and
Journalism, be involved in the-
ater, and volunteer casually
this was a list to be checked off,
not altered. I was nervous as
hell for college, but I hid under
a veil of self-confidence and
assurance. If I had a plan, and
kept to it, everything would
work out, right?
Almost the moment I got
to campus, I was thrust into
Antarctica, all thanks to the
mentors in my life.
As my first year at the
University is coming to a close,
I cant help, underneath the
battering ram of work I have
to do these last few weeks
before finals, but muse about
the past nine months. It was
during one of these ponder-
ings, my Geology notes judging
me as I listened to Vitamin Cs
Graduation on repeat and
a bowl of ice cream in hand,
that the thought of all relation-
ships Ive made this year struck
me. Ive met some incredible
people during my first year at
the University, amazing people,
so amazing that I cant be sar-
castic or veil my compliments
in wordplay. People, that have
become my friends and often,
my mentors.
Its the mentors that Ive
found this past year that
have changed my path at the
University, and my life.
I came to campus unaware I
was a baby penguin, and ready
to blindly surge forward with
my plan. But it was a friend,
who I now see as a mentor as
well, who encouraged me to get
involved with Student Senate, a
student activity that definitely
was not on Katherines College
Checklist. I thought it was a
horrible idea, but she convinced
me to check it out, so reluc-
tantly I did, and found myself
running for a senate position,
not once, but three times until I
earned one.
This was my first shove out
of the nest (penguins dont
construct elevated nests, so
the imagery might not be as
dramatic, but ignore that for
metaphor consistency). I was
forced out of my comfort zone,
my assumptions, and above
all, my checklist mentality, all
thanks to the mentors in my life
who pushed me to challenge
myself and explore my options.
I started to discover what the
University had to offer: classes,
organizations, and great people.
As I branched out I encoun-
tered people who I could learn
with, laugh with, and not feel
incredibly dumb for incessantly
barraging questions at.
Ive found mentors every-
where, from my professors
to the women I live with. My
mentors have encouraged and
educated me in my writing,
in my academic pursuits, in
my growing passion for activ-
ism and advocacy, and in my
level of student involvement,
but theyve also been there
when my days at the University
havent looked so bright.
Theyve been there to pick me
up (sometimes literally) when I
was down, to talk me through
fluttery panic attacks, and gave
me coffee when Ive felt like my
brain was about to fall out of
my head.
The mentors in my life have
made an astounding difference
in my life. Thats the point of
having mentors. Mentors not
only encourage you and direct
you to new opportunities, but
they genuinely care about you.
Good mentors help their ment-
ees navigate through unfamiliar
territory, show them paths they
werent aware existed, and when
needed, are there to help them
when they fumble on those
paths. Ive been lucky to find a
plethora of friends I consider
mentors who do just this.
Maybe Im still a baby pen-
guin, but because of my men-
tors, I think Ive managed to
avoid hitting many icebergs.

V
isiting the United States
Holocaust Memorial
Museum in Washington
D.C. is like walking through a
shrine. After receiving a booklet
containing the life story of a
victim of that horrific event and
absorbing the place for three
hours, walking back out into
the bustling, bright world feels
overwhelminga feeling dwarfed
by the enormity of the task of
stopping similarly terrible events.
After two such experiences, Ive
yet to reconcile the horrors of our
world and my own responsibility
to solve them.
Last Monday, in that hal-
lowed space, President Obama
announced the first meeting of
the Atrocities Prevention Board,
an interagency group working
to institutionalize the United
States response to genocides and
mass atrocities worldwide. This
announcement couldnt come
at a better timehuman rights
abuses are gaining more promi-
nence in the media and threaten
international security. From refu-
gee camps in Sudan to gulags in
North Korea, with killing fields
in Syria and violence in the DRC
and Uganda, diverse and com-
mitted groups seem prepared to
continue carrying out unspeak-
able harm against innocent civil-
ians.
Sixty-six years after the
Nuremberg Trials and 10
years after the creation of the
International Criminal Court,
its doubtful that any credible
source believes the creation of
another government council will
dissuade regimes from harming
their own citizens. After all, the
Responsibility to Protect doctrine
established by the United Nations
in 2005 justified intervention
in Libya, but it isnt applied in
many other countries where such
intervention would be politically
costly or unlikely to succeed.
This doesnt mean that the
Atrocities Prevention Board
(APB) should be eliminated
or derided. The president and
Congress face an enormous
number of national security
and domestic concerns, and
the nature of large-scale human
rights abuses make synthesizing
information and crafting policy
difficult. As per the recommen-
dations of the 2008 Genocide
Prevention Task force, an inter-
agency and codified process can
ensure that these pressing issues
receive attention.
The new council faces valid
criticisms, notably from Stephen
Walt of Harvard. He argues that
the APB may encourage future
interventions, while failing to
address the structural reasons
why these situations are difficult
to resolve and glossing over abus-
es perpetuated by the U.S. itself.
President Obama acknowledged
that making atrocity prevention
a permanent priority does not
mean that we intervene militar-
ily every time theres an injustice
in the world. Doing so would
be impractical and irresponsible.
However, by bringing together
different branches of the govern-
ment, decision-makers can craft
better-informed choices about
the feasibility of a wide range of
options. In some cases the U.S.
may not intervene; in others,
actions taken may fail to bring
about their desired goal. This
does not mean we should cede
the possibility of acting and turn
inward, nor should we wait to
first purge every injustice from
our foreign policy.
As the presidential election
cycle picks up, debates will likely
focus on fixing the economy
and countering potential rogue
nations and terrorists. Human
rights policy should not slide to
the backburner, nor should three
years of contributions the United
States has made in Cte DIvoire,
Libya, Uganda, Sudan, and
elsewhere be disregarded. The
Atrocities Prevention Board is a
good first step towards fulfilling
the challenge the memory of the
Holocaust and other genocides
pose; now the focus should turn
towards what policies the Board
can enact to make the promise
never again a credible commit-
ment.

Brown Bag Drag attracts attention
entertainment
Deja Brooks strutted across
the Alderson Auditorium
stage, wearing skyscraper
heels and a violet peplum
coat. When the music started,
Brooks threw his coat across
the stage, singing and dancing
in a matching one-piece.
This was Brooks third year
participating in Queers and
Alliess annual Brown Bag
Drag. Brooks has been per-
forming in drag shows since
2004, and hopes to win the
national title of Miss Gay
America.
I look at this as entertain-
ment: being on stage for the-
atrical purposes or pageantry
purposes, Brooks said.
Backstage, Brooks and the
other drag queens prepared
for their performances. The
getting-ready process takes
about two hours, during which
costumes are fitted, and copi-
ous amounts of makeup are
applied. All of the costumes
are elaborate, though some are
flashier than others. Brooks
costume is custom-made, but
several of the other queens
wear costumes designed by
students.
The entire show lasted
about an hour and a half and
consisted of several music and
dance pieces.
You kind of have to pick
the genre that best suits you
what kind of music is going to
best entertain the audience
just getting in that mindset,
Brooks said.
A group of women dressed
as men also performed a hip-
hop routine and rapped. The
shows grand finale featured
the host, Daisy Buckets, and a
few other acts singing in nun
costumes.
Buckets, also known off-
stage as Spencer Brown, is a
professional drag queen who
has hosted the show for six
years. The show is put on by
Queers and Allies each year,
and this year Student Union
Activities Comedy and Music
Committee also helped with
the event.
We want to bring aware-
ness to the LGBT community,
and we thought that this was a
fun way to get a diverse group
involved, Comedy and Music
Coordinator Amanda Kravitz
said.
The show was one of the
final events of Gaypril, a series
of events KU Q&A sponsors to
celebrate LGBT pride.
Protesters from Westboro
Baptist Church in Topeka
showed up to picket outside
the Union Friday. Many of
the protesters were children or
teenagers holding signs with
messages like Thank God for
Dead Soldiers, Keep Gods
Law, Fags Doom Nations
and Antichrist Obama. They
also sang parodies of popular
songs including Nicki Minajs
Check it Out and Eminems
Love the Way You Lie. Two
police officers stood next to
the protesters, who were lined
up in front of the parking lot
adjacent to Smith Hall and
across from the Union.
A large group of students
congregated at the Union to
watch the action. Some took
photos with the protesters
while others, such as Tim
Barta, a senior from Lawrence,
held up counter protest signs
reading Love not hate, We
support LGBT and Honk for
Equal Rights.
Westboro picketers left
campus a little before noon
and the beginning of the show,
which was held in Woodruff
Auditorium.

Mock interviews, resume workshops, and
research of companies are great ways to
work towards finding them, she said.
The demand for internships this year
has been good, Phillips said.
Bryce Allenbrand, a junior from Olathe,
has been interning at Kiewit Power
Engineerssince the summer of 2008.
The internship has allowed me to apply
the concepts Ive learned in the classroom,
Allenbrand said. I can see how its applied
in the real world rather than just to a sim-
plified book problem.
While his pay is lower than the other
engineers who have graduated $18 an
hours versus $30 an hour Allenbrand
feels like he gets paid properly for the work
he does.
Its win-win because we get real world
experience and they get to see possible
future employees, he said. The engineers
are still doing a lot of the work, but interns
help take some of the load off their hands.
While Allenbrand thinks all internships
should be paid, he does not think they
should all be paid the same.
Internship salary should be proportion-
al to the pay of that industry, Allenbrand
said.
He said the most valuable part of the
internship was finding out if he was truly
passionate about engineering . Luckily for
Allenbrand he enjoys his work and hopes
to work for the company full-time after he
graduates.
Look at an internship more for the
experience versus the money youll make,
Allenbrand said. Think more of your long
term goals versus immediate rewards.

Tyler Waugh, a graduate from Topeka,
heard about the casting call through
Facebook and thought auditioning for
the show could help him become rapper.
Waugh currently performs under the name
New Suede.
Waugh said he was nervous, but relaxed
once he started to tell his story.
I feel like Ive always been an enter-
tainer, Waugh said. The way I rap is sort
of comedy, but not really. I can say things
that normally I wouldnt say, but in a rhyme
theyre easier to say.
Johnson said he is still accepting online
applications to be on the show and person-
ally reviews every application submitted

At this years World Expo, visi-
tors were attracted by a raindrop-
like sound coming from the en-
trance of the Kansas Room of the
Kansas Union. People later dis-
covered the sound came from an
amadinda, a traditional wooden,
xylophone-like musical instru-
ment from Uganda.
Milton Wabyona, a graduate
student of music composition
from Hoima, Uganda, and Tim
Clark, a junior of physics from
Lawrence, were playing the ama-
dinda for visitors at the presenta-
tion table of Uganda. People are
invited to play the instrument as
well.
Wabyona said he came to the
Expo because he wanted to pres-
ent music from his country and
be with his friends from home. He
said it was also interesting to see
the other presentations.
Its very interesting to see peo-
ple from diferent countries and
to see what they have to show,
Wabyona said. Its very diferent
from what you know from your
own country.
Students from about 50 coun-
tries, including Vietnam, Malaysia,
Bolivia, Sweden, Chile and Russia,
demonstrated their cultures at the
60th annual World Expo, hosted
by the International Students As-
sociation. Visitors learned about
diferent cultures through presen-
tation boards pasted with pictures
of scenery, traditional costumes
and food from diferent countries.
Table exhibitions showed exam-
ples of handicraf works, jewelry
and musical instruments.
Students who represented their
countries at the Expo drew visi-
tors attention in a creative man-
ner. Japanese students invited
visitors to fold colorful origami
cranes; Chinese students taught
people to play Chinese chess; a
student from Singapore compared
her countrys geography and pop-
ulation with Kansas; and students
from Saudi Arabia brought their
living room at home to the Expo.
Tey showed the Arab peoples
hospitality by inviting visitors to
sit on the Arab style carpet to have
homemade qahwah and mamoul,
the Arab cofee and cookie
Raed Alzarah, a sophomore
from Saudi Arabia who was host-
ing guests on the carpet, said they
had more than 150 guests.
We wanted to show our cul-
ture, Alzarah said. Tis is what
we did about 50 years ago, but its
still our culture.
Tis years Expo had large-scale
performances, which made it dif-
ferent from past years celebra-
tions. Two students represented
Vietnam entertained the crowd
with a lion dance, and Wabyona
and Clark later played the ama-
dinda on the stage as well.
Amanda Murphy, president of
the International Students Associ-
ation, said the organization want-
ed the World Expo to celebrate
diferent cultures at the Univer-
sity and to provide a chance for
people to experience more than
50 countries at one time.
Its a way to facilitate cultural
education, Murphy said. It al-
lows people studying here that
are from other countries to have
pride for their heritage and show
of their culture.

Stanley Rolfe selected
as interim dean for the
School of Engineering
The University announced Friday its
selection for interim dean for the School
of Engineering as Stanley Rolfe, profes-
sor of civil engineering. Rolfe is replacing
dean Stuart Bell, who recently accepted
the position of executive vice chancellor
and provost at Louisiana State Univer-
sity.
After consulting with engineering
faculty, staff and students, Dr. Rolfes
name was consistently mentioned as the
ideal individual to lead the school during
this transition, said Jeffrey Vitter, pro-
vost and executive vice chancellor at the
University, in a press release.
Rolfe brings his 23 years as depart-
ment chair for the department of civil
engineering from 1975 to 1998. Rolfe is
also a member of the National Academy
of Engineering, the highest professional
achievement for an engineer, according
to the press release.
I look forward to continuing our
progress in implementing the Building
for Excellence initiative as the search
proceeds for our next dean, Rolfe said
in the press release. Rolfe will be in-
volved in the process of selecting the
permanent dean.

Lied Center to host
party to promote
venues programming
Broadway hits and international
musicians will grace the stage at the
Lied Center next year.
The 2012-2013 show schedule was
announced Friday night and includes
Broadway musicals like Disneys
Beauty and the Beast and West-
side Story as well as performances
showcasing Indian dance, Scottish
pipes and drums and even a Swiss
Pantomime troupe.
The Lied Center Student Association
(LCSA) is trying to make students more
aware of the venues programming by
hosting a party tomorrow night at 7
p.m. in the Lied Center Pavilion. The
evening will include free food, prize
give-aways and musical performances
by LCSA members.
LCSA public relations officer Hillary
Berry, a junior from Topeka, said that
students often dont take advantage
of the center.
I think a lot of students dont know
about the Lied Center, and they dont
think about it as a venue, Berry said.
We have a lot of really cool stuff that
comes in and its a really fun way to
learn about different cultures.

COMMENTARY
A
few days ago, a senior sat on
the grass outside Allen Field-
house and tried to fgure out
what to say in his fnal column for the
Kansan.
He will walk down the hill in 13
days. He wishes it was 13 years.
He was born in Missouri, but taken
across the border a few hours afer.
He never returned willingly, except to
scarf down a beef sandwich from Ar-
thur Bryants or watch a Royals game.
As a high school senior, he hemmed
and hawed about attending other
schools, but he never wavered.
He knew about the basketball. Ev-
erybody knows about the basketball,
but thats because its worth knowing
about. Hakim Warrick made him cry
in 2003; Mario Chalmers made him
dogpile with his friends in 2008.
He hoped he could be a student
with his team in the Final Four, be-
cause thats when school pride would
reach its highest.
Tree years came and went. Kansas
had some pretty damn good basketball
teams. Tose teams were expected to
make the Final Four. Tey didnt. Te
team in his senior year wasnt expect-
ed to do much not enough talent,
not enough experience.
His Final Four dreams were just
about dead. But then this team did
something wonderful.
He watched KU survive against
Purdue in the basement of a London
hotel. He watched KU beat North
Carolina on an iPad next to a baggage
carousel at KCI. He couldnt drive to
Lawrence fast enough.
During Final Four week, he walked
by the greener-than-usual grass of
Fraser Hall more than he needed to.
He sat in his FMS 100 class, feeling so
jealous of those that have three or four
more years in this wonderful place.
He ate a Wang burger at the Wheel.
He ate er, swallowed a Smoke
burger and trufe fries from Te
Burger Stand. He ran by Allen Field-
house, because there arent many
times in life that you can run past the
worlds basketball cathedral.
He drank cheap beer and hatched
plans that only make sense afer
drinking cheap beer. He smiled with
hundreds of people wearing crim-
son and blue all week long, ready to
scream at televisions and Tyshawn
Taylor.
And afer Kansas beat Ohio State,
he high-fved strangers and watched
Kansas fans test the hydraulics of a
parked truck while B Double E, a lo-
cal rap artist, rapped in his ear.
It was a week that made him re-
member how much fun hes had in
the last four years. Hes met people
hell never forget, people hell never
remember and people hell never re-
member meeting. And hes learned
from all of them.
As he sat on the Fieldhouse grass,
he realized something. His column
was nearly fnished, his college jour-
ney two weeks from completed.
He looked up at Allen Fieldhouse,
then over to Fraser Hall. Two weeks
lef. A long walk down a hill. And
then its over.
He swears there was something in
his eye.

Quarterback Dayne Crist
stepped up to the line of scrim-
mage and decided to alter the
play call. The audible was a sim-
ple one: Sophomore running back
Tony Pierson would run to the
right instead of the left.
When Pierson was handed the
ball, he saw a crease and took off.
The second he saw the hole, he
knew he was gone. 88 yards later,
Pierson was in the end zone.
When I hit the hole, once I saw
the green, I ran toward the goal
post, Pierson said. Thats all.
The speedy running back flew
past the entire white teams de-
fense to put the blue team ahead
31-0 in a game they would later
win 45-0. The blue team featured
a majority of the likely starters for
Kansas football, and they con-
trolled the game from start to
finish.
The audible Crist called on
Piersons run wasnt a one-time
thing either. Pierson said Crist
makes adjustments on two of ev-
ery five plays, something that the
team and coach Weis trust him in
doing.
Dayne had a great day, soph-
omore linebacker Michael Reyn-
olds said. Hes our captain and
he knows what to do. He knows
our offense. He knows how to be
a general on the field.
The game started with Dayne
Crist showing the 15,000 fans
in attendance why theres been
so much hype surrounding him.
Crist threw four consecutive
passes of 10 or more yards in the
games first drive.
He went on to throw multiple
long passes down the field, a risk
that Kansas didnt take too fre-
quently last year. Crists longest
completion on the day was a 27-
yard strike to senior wide receiver
Daymond Patterson.
While most eyes in Memorial
Stadium focused on Crist, blue
team backup quarterback and
junior Jake Heaps first throw in
a Kansas uniform brought the
crowd to its feet.
Heaps handed the ball off to
Pierson while senior receiver
Kale Pick streaked down the field.
Pierson pitched the ball back to
Heaps making the flea flicker
play apparent and Heaps threw
a 46-yard strike to Pick down
field. Heaps would throw a six-
yard touchdown pass on the next
play.
I couldve created some situ-
ations to have the game closer,
Weis said. I didnt have to call
reverses and I didnt have to call
flea flickers, but the fans want to
have some fun, too.
Weis debut as the Jayhawks
head coach was a fairly smooth
one. The team escaped the day
without any injuries and the first
string players showed why theyve
earned their spot, but the team as
a whole has a ways to go.
I think weve taken a bunch
of steps, but we have a bunch of
steps to go, Weis said. Too many
times coaches go ahead and give
you some phrase heres exactly
where we are, trying to tell you
some sugar-coated thing, but for
us to be competitive on a weekly
basis, we have a lot of work to
do.

Coach Bonnie Henrickson has
had six lousy days at Kansas. Her
teams have struggled to perform
consistently in conference play
and for seven years had not made
it to an NCAA Tournament. Tis
is frustrating, but there has been
another painful storyline: ACL in-
juries.
A starter for the Kansas womens
basketball team has torn an ACL
in three of four the last seasons.
Te hardest part for me is to
watch those kids go down, Hen-
rickson said. I have had six lousy
days at Kansas, when those six
players got hurt.
Te Jayhawks alone may seem to
struggle with ACL injuries, but the
reality is ACL injuries are becom-
ing more prominent, especially in
womens sports. Lorin Maletsky, an
associate biomechanical engineer-
ing professor, said that women are
three to seven times more likely to
sufer this injury compared with
men.
Maletsky works at the Experi-
mental Joint Biomechanics Re-
search Lab in Learned Hall. He
created the Dynamic Kansas Knee
Simulator and uses it to test the
efect of diferent weight applied
to human knees through regular
activity.
He said one of the most difcult
things about knee research is that
the injury is so unpredictable.
A lot of them you cant really
tell because they are doing a stop
like they have done before or do-
ing a turn and all of a sudden the
ligament gives out, Maletsky said.
Tat is exactly what happened
when junior forward Carolyn
Davis tore hers on Feb. 12. She
received a pass in the lane, jump
stopped and collapsed to the
ground. Junior guard Angel Goo-
drich put her hands on her head
because she knew what happened.
Goodrich had torn her ACL
twice since coming to Kansas. Her
freshman year she tore it in Oc-
tober doing a crossover move in
practice and then she tore it again
as a sophomore during a game. Of
the 10 Jayhawks currently on the
team, four of them have sufered
this injury in their career.
Davis was on the foor for more
than 10 minutes before she was
wheeled of on a stretcher. When
Henrickson made her way over to
her injured star, Davis said over
and over again, Im sorry, Im
sorry, I cant do this to the team
right now.
She did not simply apologize for
her season ending, but for the pain
and frustration she had seen the
team go through two years before.
I know the pain and just hear-
ing her holler it just hurts, Goo-
drich said.
Henrickson and the Jayhawks
have seen this injury a number of
times, but each occasion has been
diferent and the reaction is always
the same.
When they scream like that,
you know what it is, Henrickson
said.

QUOtE Of thE DAY
Early predictions for the MLB playoffs
B
elieve it or not, were already a
month into the 2012 Major League
Baseball season.
Because its only been one month, mak-
ing predictions on pennant winners and
playoff results based on team record and
player performances is absurd, although we
could ascertain which teams could contend
or slide and which players could dominate
or struggle as the season progresses. Here
are two of my bold predictions:

WaShINgtoN NatIoNalS
IN thE PlayoffS
Experience isnt on the Washington
Nationals side, but their youth movement
this season will be the beginning of grander
times for this historically irrelevant fran-
chise.
The biggest reason why the Washington
Nationals currently sit in first place in the
National League East is because of their
remarkable pitching. Amongst all major
league teams, the Nationals are first in
earned run average, quality starts, strike
outs, earned runs allowed and opponents
batting average. Washington is also second
in saves.
Yes, highly touted pitching phenom
Stephen Strasburg has much to do with
the Nationals pitching success, but not
all of it. The rest of the starting pitching
staff Edwin Jackson, Gio Gonzalez, Ross
Detwiler and Jordan Zimmerman is a
combined 9-3. Complementing the stellar
starting pitching is the outstanding bullpen,
which has been led by Tyler Clippard and
Henry Rodriguez.
The offense will eventually come around
once Ryan Zimmerman returns from the
disabled list and Bryce Harper gets more at
bats in the majors.
The Nationals will either clinch the
National League East title or earn a wild
card berth. Theyll most likely clinch a
wild card spot because the National League
East is the most challenging division in the
league. The Miami Marlins, Atlanta Braves
and Philadelphia Phillies were all consid-
ered playoff favorites before the start of the
season, and theyve yet to find their stride.

No PlayoffS foR loS aNgElES aNgElS
Theyre stacked with talent. If your team
consists of Jered Weaver, Ervin Santana,
C.J. Wilson, Dan Haren, Albert Pujols,
Mike Trout, Torii Hunter, Mark Trumbo
and Kendry Morales, then your team
should qualify for the playoffs, but the
Angels wont play in the postseason.
Nobody has been a bigger disappoint-
ment this season than Albert Pujols, who
signed a lucrative 10-year, $240 million
deal with the Angels during the offseason.
He, along with C.J. Wilson, who was also
signed during the offseason, would help the
Angels replace the Texas Rangers as the top
team in the American League West.
The Rangers are a powerhouse, and the
Angels simply arent.
Offensively, the Angels rank in the bot-
tom half of the majors in runs, batting
average, home runs, hits and on-base plus
slugging. The Rangers rank astonishingly
in the top two in all of those categories.
As the season continues, I expect the
Angels to improve their pitching and
offense, but I also expect the Rangers to
keep pitching and batting well the rest of
the season, which is a scary thought.
If the Angels cannot clinch the American
League West, then they certainly can clinch
one of the two wild card spots, right?
Well, they could, but based on how the
season has played out thus far, American
League East teams could earn both wild
card bids. Every team in the American
League East has a winning percentage thats
.500 or greater so far, and its proving to be
the toughest division.

PAGE 3B thE UNIVERSItY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, APRIL 30, 2012
Saturday was a memorable and
emotion-flled day for Kansas
sofball. Te team honored its fve
senior members, and the walk-of
5-4 victory over No. 24 Texas Tech
that followed only made the day
sweeter.
Senior Day is a nerve-wracking
day, not just for the seniors but for
the underclassmen because they
want to win it for the seniors. It
makes all of this, coach Megan
Smith said, looking at the celebra-
tion around her, a lot more fun.
Kansas (31-17, 6-14) trailed 4-1
entering the bottom of the sixth,
recording just four hits in fve in-
nings.
Junior outfelder Maggie Hull
said that was when the game
turned.
In our team huddle we just said,
guys were doing it for the seniors,
were doing it for Kansas, were do-
ing it for Regionals, Hull said.
Tats when we all believed.
Kansas next three batters
reached safely to load the bases
with no outs for freshman third
baseman Chanin Naudin.
Naudin, whos been one of KUs
clutch hitters this season, smacked
a 0-2 pitch for a single down the
lef feld line, scoring two runs on
what Hull called the biggest hit of
the game.
In the top of the seventh, sopho-
more pitcher Kristin Martinez (6-2)
continued her strong outing, hold-
ing the Red Raiders (38-14, 11-9) in
check afer entering the game in the
third inning. Martinez threw four-
and-one-third innings and allowed
one earned run on fve hits.
Kansas, trailing 4-3, had the top
of the order due up with three outs
remaining.
And it all came together.
Leadof hitter sophomore Elsa
Moyer hit an infeld single and
brought the winning run to the
plate.
Hull roped a double to center
feld, knocking in the speedy Moy-
er and moving the winning run to
second. Still no outs.
Texas Tech, with frst base open,
opted to walk Kansas freshman frst
baseman Maddie Stein, presumably
to keep force-outs in order, which
brought junior shortstop Mariah
Montgomery to the plate.
Montgomery, whose second-in-
ning home run gave the Jayhawks
an early 1-0 lead, looked at a frst-
pitch ball before driving a single
to the gap in lef feld. Hull scored
from second and Kansas won 5-4.
Te team captains game-win-
ning RBI tied her for ffh all-time
in a single season at Kansas with
45. But she didnt do it for the re-
cord books.
It was undoubtedly for the se-
niors, Montgomery said with tears
in her eyes. Love those guys, been
with them for three years and it will
be a sad day to see them go. Tat
was defnitely for them.
Five seniors infelders Kelsey
Alsdorf and Marissa Ingle, catcher
Leah Daiber, outfelder Liz Kocon
and pitcher Ashley Spencer were
honored afer what would be their
fnal game at Arrocha Ballpark.
Sundays contest was cancelled
due to rain and will not be resched-
uled.
Montgomery said the victory
meant more than winning a game
for the seniors.
Tats a huge win to get us to
postseason, she said. Tat gives
us a little better chance of getting
there. It might be the biggest win of
the year.
Te frst game of the series was
postponed due to rain and light-
ning in the ffh inning on Friday
evening. Kansas trailed 3-1 at that
point, and the teams resumed play
Saturday at noon. Texas Tech went
on to win 4-1.
Kansas takes on Texas A&M in
College Station, Texas this weekend
for its fnal three games of the regu-
lar season.

Friday was an exceptionally im-
pressive day of races for sophomore
Diamond Dixon. She won both the
100-meter and 200-meter event ti-
tles at the Bill Williams/Bob Laptad
Invitational. Tis was not the frst
time she has won multiple titles in
one day. But Dixon had something
to prove on Friday.
Te frst thing you should know
about Diamond Dixon on the track
is that she is a competitive athlete
who strives to be the best. Dixon
is a very good 400-meter runner;
she was the 2011 Big 12 champion
and the 2012 NCAA indoor cham-
pion. On top of that, Dixon is deter-
mined.
Tere is one thing, however,
that Dixon claims she is notan
800-meter runner. She said she sees
herself as more of a 200-meter run-
ner. Of course she is a 400-meter
runner frst and foremost, but is
she a sprinter or a distance runner?
Does she run with speed or endur-
ance? Where does the balance lie for
someone so talented?
I dont really want to turn into
a 400/800 runner, I want to be a
400/200 runner. Dixon said earlier
this year.
Coach Stanley Redwine was a
two-time U.S. Champion in the
800-meter. He qualifed for the
Olympic trials in the event fve times
from 1980 to 1996 before going into
coaching. Dixon is thankful for ev-
erything her coach teaches her, but
she has one disagreement with him.
He believes Im an 800 runner
Dixon said. I beg to difer. I know
it helps though, thats why I do it.
Teammate Danesha Morris over-
heard Dixons statement and said
with a laugh, Shes an 800 runner.
Dixon trusts her coach, and
thats why she came to Kansas two
years ago. She knows that Redwine
is sincere and knows what will help
her improve on the track, but she
prefers to run with speed in shorter
distances. Dixon won an 800-meter
event title at the Emporia State Re-
lays afer Redwine encouraged her
to run the event.
On Friday Redwine gave Dixon
the opportunity to run short-
distance events in Joplin, Mo. She
won both the 200-meter and the
100-meter events. Her time of 23.13
seconds in the 200-meter is now the
fastest on the team. Even faster than
junior Paris Daniels, the National
Junior College 200-meter champion
last year at Cofeyville. Dixon ranks
tenth in the nation in the 200-meter
with that time.
So, Diamond is a sprinter, she is
also the defending 400-meter Big 12
champion, and she is even a pretty
good 800-meter runner whether she
admits it or not.
Diamond is an athlete and shes
going to compete in whatever event
shes on the track to do. Redwine
said. Any time she steps on the
track shes going to give it her all.
No matter how far away the fn-
ish line is, Dixon will run as fast as
she can to reach it frst; that is what
you should remember about Dia-
mond Dixon.

The Kansas baseball team
(17-27, 4-13 Big 12) dropped
its second game of the
series Saturday night 8-2 to
Oklahoma.
In front of a season-best
1,682 people at Hoglund
Ballpark, the Jayhawks failed
to take advantage of oppor-
tunities. Kansas left 10 run-
ners on base in the ball game,
including two innings with the
bases loaded.
After junior third baseman
Jordan Dreiling knocked in the
games first run with a sacrifice
fly, the Kansas offense disap-
peared as Oklahoma pitcher
Jonathan Gray pitched a domi-
nant 6.1 innings. Grays fastball
was consistently measured in
the mid-90s, and the Kansas
hitters could not adjust.
Its definitely something
we havent really seen much
this year, senior catcher James
Stanfield said of Grays fastball.
But it all comes down to getting
ready to hit.
The Sooners jumped ahead of
Kansas in the fifth inning when
third baseman Max White took an
0-1 pitch from freshman pitcher
Wes Benjamin the opposite way
for a three-run homer. The home
run came with two outs, and
Benjamin did not return in the
sixth inning.
In a losing effort, freshman
pitcher Wes Benjamin put togeth-
er another quality start. Benjamin
went five innings and allowed
three runs on five hits, walking
three batters. The loss dropped
Benjamin to 2-6 on the season,
and Stanfield would like to see
Benjamin improve in three-ball
counts.
Hes pretty mature for a fresh-
man, but there are certain situa-
tions when a lefty is up, and White
is the next guy after him, its pretty
crucial to get that guy and not get
to him, Stanfield said. But he did
a really good job today for a fresh-
man. He kept us in it.
Despite collecting just four hits
in the ball game, the Jayhawks
trailed 3-1 heading into the ninth
inning with a chance to rally.
However, Oklahomas top-half of
the inning ended any chance for
a Kansas comeback. The Sooners
scored five runs on six hits, which
all-but-secured another Big 12
road win.
With Texas Tech defeating
Missouri on Saturday night, the
Jayhawks and Red Raiders are tied
for the final spot in the Big 12
Tournament. Kansas must finish
in eighth place or better to qualify
for the tournament, which makes
Sundays game against Oklahoma
even more important for coach
Ritch Prices club.
Any time were playing some-
one in the top 25, we need to pick
up a w and stay in contention,
Price said. It will give ourselves
an opportunity to get in the thing
late.
Junior pitcher Thomas Taylor
(4-5, 4.08 ERA) was due to take
the mound Sunday afternoon, but
severe weather and heavy rain can-
celed the series finale. There will
be no make-up game scheduled,
so the Jayhawks attention turns to
a non-conference matchup with
Arkansas-Little Rock on Tuesday.
We need to come out with
energy, Stanfield said. Any time
we come out with energy and stay
on them inning-for-inning, weve
been really successful.

Kansas freshman Wes Benjamin
pitched a decent game Saturday
night against the Oklahoma
Sooners. He gave up three runs over
five innings on five hits. Kansas
(17-27, 4-13) fell in the second
game in a row 8-2 to Oklahoma
(28-16, 9-8).
The Sooners hurt Benjamin in
the free pass department. Benjamin
gave up three walks on the day, two
of which came in his last inning
of work. Those two came around
to score on a three-run opposite
field homer from
Oklahoma third
baseman Max
White.
One of the
things weve
talked with Wes
about is that if he
can reduce the
number of walks he has the chance
to be more effective, coach Ritch
Price said of Benjamin.
With the three walks Saturday,
Benjamin is tied for second with
the most walks allowed this season.
He has issued 23 walks this season
while also hitting six batters on the
season.
Kansas pitchers have struggled
at allowing runners to reach base
by walking them this season. They
rank third to last in the conference
of walks allowed, giving up a total
of 151 on the season.
With an offense that ranks last
in the Big 12 in batting average and
runs scored, it is imperative that
pitchers limit the number of base
runners they allow on base.
He needs to continue to improve
his breaking ball, Price said of
Benjamin.
Benjamin still
looks promis-
ing despite a
2-6 record. The
freshman has
posted a decent
4.36 ERA in 71.0
innings this sea-
son.
His teammates say he is beyond
his years on the mound. As an
offense, they know they need to
support their starters more, because
the pitchers have been keeping the
team in the game all season.
Hes pretty mature for a fresh-
man, senior catcher James
Stanfield said of Benjamin. He did
a really good job today. He kept us
in it and we had a chance. You cant
ask much more out of him.

Weather woes at Big 12 meet
womens golf mens golf
Te Kansas womens golf team
fnished 10th in this weekends
Big 12 Championship at Lawrence
Country Club.
Sophomore Tanuttra Boon-
raksasat and junior Audrey Yowell
led the team by fnishing tied for
30th. Inclement weather conditions
caused delayed tee times and a short
delay during third round play Sun-
day.
Te course held up great, espe-
cially today, coach Erin ONeil said.
I think we got an inch and a half or
rain in a short period of time. When
we went back out, it was pretty dry.
Te greens were rolling well. It held
up pretty nicely.
Multiple rain delays made it dif-
cult for players to stay focused while
waiting in the clubhouse. To occupy
time in the clubhouse during the
delay, Coach ONeil and the play-
ers worked on a 1,000-piece jigsaw
puzzle.
It kept them occupied, ONeil
said. Tey were thinking about the
puzzle not how long the delay was or
what would happen next. It worked
out pretty well.
Te Jayhawks didnt have time
to fnish the puzzle before heading
back into the breezy conditions.
Senior Katy Nugent struggled with
the wind early in the tournament;
shooting an 88 on day one before
fnishing the tournament with a 79
and 75 placing her in a tie for 39th
with a total score of 242 on the
weekend.
She fnished strong today,
ONeil said. She had a couple of
funky shots here and there, but she
still managed to pull a par out a lot
of the time, which shes really good
at. She did a great job.
Nugent struggled with ball strik-
ing early in the tournament. She
said in Fridays round she hit a tee
shot that started on the lef side of
the fairway and landed in the sec-
ond cut of rough on the right side.
I really struggled with my ball
striking, Nugent said. Anytime the
wind is blowing like that you dont
know where its going and its really
tough. It got a lot better in the last
two days. Te wind made a big dif-
ference.
Nugent became the senior lead-
er in the spring season; helping a
young squad, featuring four fresh-
men, develop.
Teyve made great strides this
year, Nugent said. Im confdent
theyre going to come out playing
really well next year. Te team has a
lot of talent. Everyone has their head
in the right place and its been a fun
year.
For Nugent, fnishing her career
at the Big 12 tournament provided
an opportunity to play in front of
many friends and family members.
It was great fnishing up at
home. Nugent said. It was cool to
have a lot of our support staf and
administration out there this week.
Oklahoma won the team tour-
nament with a score of 904. Texas
A&Ms Mary Michael Maggio won

Golfers struggle with
challenging course at
Big 12 Championship
The mens golf team ended the sea-
son with a tenth place fnish in the Big
12 Championship at whispering Pines
golf Club in Trinity, Tex. this weekend.
freshman Dylan mcClure led the
team tied for 27th with a four-round
total of 305. whispering Pines gave
some of the top players in the country
a challenge.
Its just a diffcult golf course,
coach Kit grove said. we arent the
toughest team mentally, and its one of
those deals where it can snowball. Its
a very visually intimidating golf course
that you have to get off to a good start
on every day.
The green speeds were quick over
the weekend. grove said the greens
might have been a bit too diffcult over
the weekend.
Texas A&m won the team tourna-
ment with a four-round score of 1,165.
Texas took second with an 1,168, and
Texas Tech fnished third with a 1,183.
Baylors Joakim mikkelson won the
individual tournament with a three-
under par performance. Tyler Dunlap
of Texas A&m fnished second at one-
under.
for the Jayhawks, junior Chris gil-
bert tied for 38th at 22-over par. se-
nior Doug Quinones fnished 44th at
26-over, and junior Alex gutesha tied
for 45th at 30-over par. freshman Da-
vid Auer struggled getting off to good
starts over the course of the tourna-
ment. He fnished 50th at 52-over par.

Center, tore her ACL back in col-
lege and that drove her to further
research about the injury. She said
beyond the signature pop that
follows most ACL tears, the lack of
motion is always telling.
Usually when a person does an
ACL they cant get back up and they
are usually an athlete that gets back
up no matter what, Denney said.
Maletsky said there are many
possible factors that contribute to
the high number of female ACL
injuries from anatomy and muscle
mass to neuromuscular control.
Te average age for the injury
has dropped to 16-years-old. Den-
ney said that women need to un-
dergo diferent training with a fo-
cus on landing, which would have
potentially prevented an injury like
Davis.
You dont know what a good
test is to say, Oh, you are at risk,
Denney said. We dont have that
yet and we dont have a prevention
program that is good.
Tough Kansas athletes have re-
covered and returned to the game,
Maletsky said this injury continues
to afect quality of life in the fu-
ture.
When someone ruptures their
ACL, regardless of how soon it is
fxed, they dramatically increase
their risk of developing arthritis in
the knee, Maletsky said.
Tere is also a high possibility of
re-injury even afer reconstructive
surgery.
Maletsky and his researchers
received CDC funding to research
and battle the prominence of this
injury. Tey used a cadaver knee in
the simulator and mimicked a cut-
ting move with various amounts of
pressure to see when the ligament
would rupture.
He said that is the most common
way athletes injure it afer a jump
landing. Kansas athletes have hurt
theirs both ways.
One downside to their research
is the limitation of subjects to
study. Te average cadaver knee
they received was a male or female
in their 60s. Tat makes it difcult
to extrapolate information to a
younger study group.
However, they use their work to
interact directly with athletic de-
partments and surgeons to better
prevent these injuries.
It is going to be big money for
whoever fnds the perfect program
that prevents these injuries, Den-
ney said.
But, for now, there is no defnite
answer.
You try to protect them, but
you cant from that unfortunately,
Henrickson said.

A roller coaster might be the
best analogy to describe the 2012
season for the Kansas womens
tennis team. Te ride saw its share
of historic highs and rock bottom
lows.
Before the seasons dual play
portion started, the team received
news that two contributing Jay-
hawks would not be back in the
spring. Tis was a huge blow to a
program.
We lost our No. 1 and No. 2
so everyone had to move up two
spots, sophomore Dylan Windom
said. In the Big 12, I feel like an
increase in two spots is very hard
to overcome.
Freshman Karen Hernandez lef
the team afer one semester, but
the loss of senior veteran Ekateri-
na Morozova was crippling.
Morozova, who was clearly the
teams best player, remained on
the roster but was forced to miss
the spring for undisclosed reasons.
At one point, she was ranked No.
76 nationally in singles (No. 33 in
doubles), and she is best known
for her magical quarterfnal run
with Windom at the Intercollegiate
Tennis Associations All-American
Championships in October.
Tose losses werent apparent
at frst, at least in the frst seven
matches of the season. Te addi-
tion of freshman newcomer Maria
Belen Luduea aided coach Amy
Hall-Holts starting lineup, and
Kansas 7-0 non-conference dual
record through March 1 was the
programs best in two decades. Lu-
duea, who had been in the United
States for less than three months,
soared to a No. 118 national sin-
gles ranking as the Jayhawks shot
toward the sky in January and Feb-
ruary.
Like our strength and condi-
tion coach said, Adapt and over-
come, Windom said. Adapt to
new things and try to overcome
them. Dont make excuses for any-
thing.
However, none of the seven vic-
tories came against ranked teams,
and none of those teams played in
any of the known six BCS auto-
matic-qualifying conferences.
Why is that important? Ten
of the Jayhawks next 13 sched-
uled matches were against teams
ranked in top 75 of the ITA Divi-
sion I standings.
Tis new level of difculty
showed immediately, as Kansas
dropped the next four matches on
the road to ranked opponents
North Texas, Tulsa, Oklahoma and
Oklahoma State. Just like that, the
Jayhawks received a reality check
and a bruise to the teams ego.
It was defnitely eye-opening
playing against ranked teams, but
I think we did really well, sopho-
more Claire Dreyer said afer the
teams early-March trip to Tulsa,
Okla. We just kept fghting and
it wasnt really a negative weekend
for us.
Te seasons outlook brightened
a bit when Kansas won two of three
matches in its mid-March trip to
Las Vegas. Still, the team had yet
to defeat a ranked opponent, de-
spite playing its way to a solid 9-5
record at the end of spring break.
Ten Baylor and Texas Tech
came to townteams that would
end up fnishing No.s 1 and 2 in
the conferences regular season
standings. Te Jayhawks fell to
both, but gave the No. 13 Bears a
4-3 scare, and junior No. 1 singles
player Monica Pezzotti notched
her best singles win of the year
in the teams 6-1 loss to the 18th-
ranked Red Raiders.
With Baylor we lost 4-3. Its
matches where they are some of
the best in the conference, Pez-
zotti said. We were right there, so
we need to build our confdence
and believe in ourselves that we
can beat those teams.
But this years shorthanded Jay-
hawks couldnt get over the hump
in the talent-rich Big 12. Te con-
ference only had one other un-
ranked team Iowa State. Kansas
went on to lose all nine of their
regular season conference match-
es, closing the season with a sec-
ond loss to Oklahoma, 4-0, in the
frst round of last weeks confer-
ence tournament.
In interviews, several Kansas
players said that losing had cre-
ated a mental block by the end
of the season, but its barrier that
Hall-Holt and her team repeatedly
vowed to overcome in the ofsea-
son.
I dont want to say that I think
it got in their heads, Hall-Holt
said. Does it afect you? Yes. Does
it physically drain you? Yes. I just
think with our long season, its
draining and it can wear on you a
little bit.
For next year, the Jayhawks are
thinking on the positive side with
the entirety of Hall-Holts senior-
free lineup set to return. Hall-Holt
also seems to have found a per-
fect ft at No. 1 doublesPezzotti
and Windom fnished the season
ranked No. 89 nationally, despite
playing doubles together for the
frst time just over a month ago.
Another plus, junior Haley
Fournier, a native of Leawood,
Kan., will be eligible for next sea-
son afer transferring from Texas
Tech in the fall. As a freshman for
the now-21st-ranked Red Raid-
ers, Fournier fnished the 2010-11
season 19-11 in singles, 20-6 in
doubles, repectively.
Its exciting for us that were a
young team because we have so
much talent, Dreyer said. Every-
one is just excited to come back
next year and keep going at it.
Brady Tanner won three gold
medals in Greece last year at the
World Special Olympics Games.
He practices four days a week for
power lifting competitions. But
after his own workouts, he de-
votes his time to supporting Kan-
sas womens basketball.
Tanner participated in a Spe-
cial Olympics power lifting com-
petition on Saturday morning at
Haskell Indian Nations Univer-
sity and when he found out the
Jayhawks would be presenting
the medals, he was determined to
impress.
When the Jayhawks found out
Tanner was going to be at the
event, they contacted their coach-
es and asked if they could assist in
some way.
The competition was split up
into three different stations: dead
lift, squats and bench press. Tan-
ner attracted attention at each sta-
tion. He dead lifted 450 pounds,
squatted 600 and set a personal
record on the bench press with
405.
It is inspiring, Kansas fresh-
man guard Asia Boyd said. I
would never be able to lift that
much.
The Jayhawks trickled into the
gym during the final round and
Tanner made his way over to greet
them. They watched and cheered
as he set his new personal record.
Tanner let out a triumphant cheer
that filled the gym and he was
met by a line of fist bumps and
high fives from the team.
According to Tanners mother,
Janie, junior guard Angel Goo-
drich and junior forward Carolyn
Davis are two of his favorite Jay-
hawks. Goodrich appreciates his
support and enjoys reciprocating.
He comes to all of our games
with his face painted and we want
to do something for him too,
Goodrich said.
Tanner, 32, has been competing
in power lifting for 11 years for
Douglas County Special Olym-
pics. His mother and father, Janie
and Gary, serve as his coaches
and trainers. Between lifts, Gary
would check his belt and rewrap
his knees. Janie would take pic-
tures and video of each lift and
then take her seat back on the
sideline thrilled to see her son
succeeding and having fun.
She said the Jayhawks have
been very hospitable to Brady
and that makes a huge difference.
When he returned from Greece,
he was honored before a womens
game and then joined the team in
the locker room after the game.
He understands when every-
one is rooting for him, Janie said.
It is important for him to be rec-
ognized by the community.
His high school teacher, Deb
Engstrom, continues to purchase
season tickets for Tanner and
meet him at the games. Janie
credited her with starting his love
of Kansas womens basketball.
Goodrich said she enjoys
spending time with Brady be-
cause of his positivity.
He is always happy, Goodrich
said. He puts smiles on our fac-
es.
While they waited to hand out
medals, Boyd and sophomore
guard CeCe Harper invited Bra-
dy to sing I Believe I Can Fly
in front of the crowd. Applause
rang through the gym after their
song.
Brady presented the Jayhawks
with an autographed picture
from the Olympics in Greece and
received three gold medals from
Boyd.
We love Brady, Boyd said.

In one of the Kansas football teams
practices last week, sophomore line-
backer Michael Reynolds had three
diferent coaches talk to him about
running the play full speed.
At the end of practice, coach
Charlie Weis called him out for it,
trying to explain to him that they are
going afer him because he is one of
the few players on the team who can
make that play.
My whole coaching point to him
is that he is one of the guys that can
really help us and hopefully today is
another step in him turning that cor-
ner, Weis said.
Reynolds burst onto the scene at
the Jayhawks spring game, making
fve tackles and recording three sacks
on his way to being named defen-
sive MVP. In 2011 he appeared in 10
games as a true freshman, but did not
have the same impact.
His performance helped lead the
blue squad to a 45-0 victory over the
white squad. Te shutout victory by
no means thrusts the Jayhawk de-
fense into the upper echelon of col-
legiate defenses, but it is a welcomed
sign for a team that allowed the most
points per game in the NCAA Divi-
sion I last season.
Reynolds, along with fellow line-
backer senior Toben Opurum, played
a hybrid linebacker/defensive end
position normally seen more in a
3-4 defensive scheme than in the Jay-
hawks 4-3.
Im very comfortable with it be-
cause it gives me the chance to stand
up and rush the passer and also play
in coverage, Reynolds said.
Weis likes playing more versatile
players at both positions because it
allows him to keep his best players on
the feld no matter how the opposing
ofense lines up.
Sophomore running back Mar-
quis Jackson also showed improve-
ment afer converting from receiver
earlier this spring. He ran strong and
hard as he piled up 76 yards and three
touchdowns on 10 carries.
Im looking at this big, physical
kid, saying, He looks like a running
back, he doesnt look like a wide re-
ceiver, Weis said. So I sat down and
talked to him and said You play run-
ning back? and he said Yeah, I was a
running back, so I said Good, youre
a running back again.
While Weis was impressed with
Jackson, he is still trying to fgure out
what his role will be in the fall. Be-
cause of Jacksons bigger build, he has
the ability to play in the traditional
halfack position as well as a bulkier
fullback.
He could very easily be at 230
with a couple of cheeseburgers, Weis
said. Tats what were going to have
to decide, what weight we want him
at, but you can see he has some natu-
ral running instincts.
Te zero on the board beneath
the white squads name is an impres-
sive feat, but it must be noted that the
teams were not matched equally. Te
blue squad clearly had more of the
frst team guys while the white squad,
which struggled to move the ball all
day, had more players that are ex-
pected to be second and third string
on the depth chart this fall.
I think that ofensively, were
ahead of our defense, Weis said. But
I truly believe were going to be much
improved on defense. Not only philo-
sophically do I believe in what theyre
doing, but I do believe that with some
of the guys that we have coming in,
interjected with the people we have
here, I do think that come September,
well be much improved.
O
n a day when the
University honored one of
its football programs most
significant figures, former coach
Don Fambrough, it embarked on a
new era.
An estimated 15,000 Jayhawk
fans caught a glimpse of the new
Kansas football team under the
leadership of new coach Charlie
Weis during the spring game
Saturday.
New quarterbacks Dayne Crist
and Jake Heaps showed off their
extraordinary passing ability that
Kansas fans havent seen since Todd
Reesing, and relatively unknown
linebacker Michael Reynolds dis-
played his defensive prowess on the
field by recording four tackles for a
loss and three sacks. Running back
Tony Pierson ran for 141 yards and
scored an 88-yard touchdown that
would have made NFL scouts drool
over his incendiary speed.
But the game was what it was; a
spring game. Lets remember that
last season this team didnt even
win a conference game, and it has
lost 26 of the last 31 games for
numerous reasons. Realism must
set in. This team has a long way to
go to being at par with the Big 12s
contending teams.
New, experienced quarterbacks
can go a long way in improving
a team, but they cant solve all of
the teams problems, especially on
the defensive side of the ball. Last
season, Kansas was ranked dead
last in total defense, yielding 516.42
yards-per-game.
Weis said the offense is ahead
of defense in terms of progress,
but he believed the defense would
improve by September because of
the new players inserted into the
lineup as well as the new defensive
philosophy.
Weve taken a bunch of steps,
but we have a bunch of steps to go,
Weis said of his team. For us to be
competitive on a weekly basis, we
have a lot of work to do.
All the success and relevance
that Mark Mangino brought to the
football team through his mental-
ity and football philosophy quickly
evaporated when he was dismissed
and Turner Gill succeeded him. As
abysmal or disappointing as the
Kansas football team has been for
most its history, the Turner Gill era
might have been one of the lowest,
if not the lowest point because of
its excellence in futility. The play-
ers effort and execution were ques-
tioned during the Gill era, and Gill,
along with his assistant coaches,
were criticized for not preparing
his team.
We live in an instant gratifica-
tion-oriented society. When teams
arent winning games, we at least
expect a coaching change.
Give Weis and his team time. As
Weis said in his introductory press
conference in December, he doesnt
have a magic wand.
The spring football game was a
sneak peak. I wouldnt say it doesnt
tell us anything, but I would say it
doesnt tell us much. Its a practice
session essentially. We can only
know if the team has improved or
not when it plays games that count
against actual opponents.
