Ron and Becky Bramlage and their four children, Brandon, Boston, Beau and Roxanne, were all on board a private plane when it crashed, according to an Associated Press report. The Bramlage family is the namesake of Bramlage Coliseum at Kansas State, the universitys basketball teams home court. The arena is named after Rons grandfather, Fred Bramlage. Ron was a business owner in Junc- tion City, Kan. According to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, the crash took place in Tiger Creek Preserve, Florida, a remote and swampy area. The familys flight was travel- ing from Port St. Lucie to Junc- tion City, Kan., according to the website FlightAware. They were an amazing fam- ily, a Bramlage family member told KMBC news. We are heart- broken. An investigation into the cause of the plane crash is under way. Jessica Tierney University offers buyout incentive to employees The University accepted early retirement applications from 106 employees seeking buyouts, and rejected 43 applications, ac- cording to The Associated Press. In April, the University of- fered an early retirement incen- tive to roughly 655 employees at the Lawrence and Edwards campuses. Employees approved for the program receive a one-time payment for a years worth of salary. The maximum payment is $100,000. Gavin Young, provost com- munications coordinator and spokesman, said the program is for employees who plan to retire by the end of the year. At the earliest, employees can retire July 24, and at the latest, December 31. Employees have until July 15 to accept their offer and sign the agreement. Young said the determining factor in which applications are accepted or rejected is based on the long-term best interests of the University. Kelsea Eckenroth Law school program aims to prepare future students High school students from across Kansas found out what its like to be in law school and what it takes to have a career in the legal profession. Last week during the third annual Journey to J.D.camp, School of Law faculty and current students worked to encourage diverse students to attend college, law school and work in the legal feld. The camp was created by the School of Laws alumni Diversity Council to diversify legal education and the workforce, and it was funded through donations by alumni and corporate sponsors. Programs like Journey to J.D.are known as pipelineprograms and are used by numerous law schools and frms to address the lack of diversity in the legal feld. Studies show that a fewer black collection of students graduate from high school and college, and theyre defnitely underrepresented in the legal profession,said Karen Hester, Director of Student Afairs and Diversity at the School of Law. Our thought is that if we can reach them now we can show them what steps they need to take, and we can hope- fully make a long term impact on the legal profession and the diversity within.

Minaj nixes concert after host comments LOS ANGELES Nicki Minaj was set to headline Hot 97s Sum- mer Jam festival in East Ruther- ford, N.J., on Sunday but pulled out shortly before her set. Minaj nixed her performance at the festival, one of only a few annual hip-hop events of its size, following disparaging remarks from Hot 97 personality Peter Rosenberg, who also hosts MTVs Hip-Hop Squares. Rosenberg, obviously not a fan of Minajs club-friendly, RedOne- produced jingle, Starships, told the crowd that the radio station was all about that real hip-hop. I know there are some chicks in here waiting to sing along with Starships later, he chided. Im not talking to yall right now. He then quickly dismissed the song with some rather unprintable language. That didnt sit well with Minaj nor with her label head, Lil Wayne, who pulled the plug on all his Young Money artists who were at Summer Jam. Minaj confrmed the snub on her Twitter feed, telling the station staf they messed up history (she just wasnt as nice about it). The President has spoken, she wrote. I go above and beyond for my fans. But wont ever go against Waynes word. What he says, goes. McClatchy Tribune PITTSBURGH Te Miss USA pageant representative from Penn- sylvania resigned her crown claiming the contest is rigged, but according to organizers the beauty queen was upset over the decision to allow transgender contestants to enter. A posting on Miss Pennsylva- nia Sheena Monnins Facebook page claims another contestant learned the names of the top 5 fnishers on Sunday morning hours before the show was broadcast. Monnin claims the other contestant told her the names of the top 5 she spotted on a planning sheet for the tele- cast and she decided to step down as soon as those same contestants were named during the show. In my heart I believe in honesty, fair play, a fair opportunity, and high moral integrity, none of which in my opinion are part of this pageant system any lon- ger, Monnin wrote in one of her Face- book posts. Monnin, of Cranberry, Butler Coun- ty, did not immediately respond to a Facebook message from Te Associ- ated Press. Donald Trump, who runs the Miss Universe Organization, called Mon- nins claims that the pageant was fxed totally ridiculous in a live interview Wednesday on ABCs Good Morning America. Were going to be suing her now, Trump said. She made a very false charge and she knows its a false charge. Pageant organizers confrmed Mon- nin resigned, but said it wasnt for the reason she claimed. According to a statement from the Miss Universe Organization, the con- testant who Monnin claimed saw the sheet vehemently refuted Monnins account. Te statement includes text from an email from Monnin that cites the decision to allow transgender con- testants into the competition as the rea- son shes resigning. Miss Rhode Island, the pageants winner, Olivia Culpo, said Monnins original resignation was based on her stance on the pageants policy on transgender contestants and called it strange that Monnin is now saying something else. Anti-semitic Wagners music denied in Israel LOS ANGELES A planned performance of the music of Richard Wagner in Israel has been abruptly canceled following an apparent dis- agreement between the presenter and Tel Aviv University, which was supposed to host the event.

And I found out I have a brain tumor, Crow recently told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. And I was, like, See? I knew there was something wrong.

ChECK OUt thE ANSwERS LOS ANGELES CBS has decided to throw a bigger rock at The Glass House. The network was set to fle late Thursday night for a temporary restraining order against the show, which pits 14 contestants against one another in a house wired with cameras and microphones. Claim- ing the series is a blatant rip-of of its summer staple Big Brother,CBS originally fled a lawsuit against ABC and other defendants for copyright infringement and ad- ditional claims last month. ASSOCIATEDPRESS http://bit.ly/LXmiZt CBS fles lawsuit against ABC H ave you ever been to a baseball game and remember just how much of the game you paid close atten- tion to? Its probably not very much. I recently went to a Kansas City Royals game one that the team predictably lost with my father. We have a tradition where we both keep a scorecard throughout the game. It adds to the ongoing conversation about the game and fuels continued debates. It keeps us both involved in the game and aids in building a bond through the sport. His dad taught him all the intricacies of keeping score and he taught me; I hope to pass that along to my children some- day. However, Ive noticed that fewer and fewer people actually take the time to learn how to keep score at a baseball game. The lack of score- keeping is a lost opportunity for family bonding during a sporting event that lends itself to conver- sation. The declining interest in baseball is the product of several problems. It is hard to say baseball is Americas pastime while keeping a straight face. Its not nearly as popular as football, and the brains behind the operations havent helped themselves. Following the labor strike, baseball was buoyed by the home run race between Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire in 1998. But that was all thrown away once the use rampant use of steroids in baseball came to light. Since then, baseball has fallen into a definite rut, and the powers- that-be have come up with poor measures to remedy that. Despite the excitement in the Kansas City area due to the upcoming All-Star Game, the idea that an All-Star game should determine home field advantage in the World Series is just a bad idea. If people got back to the grass roots and did something simple like keep score at a game, it would enhance their appreciation of baseball. It drives spectators to pay closer attention to the game. Technology has made keeping score almost archaic, a fact thats obvious when looking for a score- card at Kauffman Stadium; you cant find them anywhere. People need to put down the iPhones and pick up a scorecard, a pencil and enjoy the atmosphere and great baseball even if some of the great is lacking in Kansas City.

Tonic and Mass St. Pub, more commonly known as Tonic, man- ager Michael Surface said the bar uses different promotions to help maintain business. On Thursday nights, Tonic offers free cover for women until midnight. Tonic, 728 Massachusetts St., also uses social media to advertise various drink specials throughout the summer. If you follow Tonic on Twitter, (@TonicLawrence), we have special offers for VIP entrance, free cover, or VIP room giveaways during the summer, Surface said. Twitter is the best way to stay informed on events, parties, and special offers. Surface said Tonic has main- tained good business throughout the two years it has been open, which includes summertime. While Tonic uses various pro- motions in order to draw in stu- dents, Quintons Bar and Deli, 615 Massachusetts St., maintains a lot of the same specials they have throughout the school year. Quintons employee James Stephenson says they do see a drop off in business during the summer, but Tuesday and Thursday nights maintain popularity all year. Stephenson said on Tuesday nights they offer $2.50 draws, but sometimes change specials in order to draw a bigger crowd. Once in awhile, we will have specials like $2 anything, which we use to get a different crowd to come in. Those nights are pretty popu- lar, and it is something we will do randomly throughout the summer, Stephenson said. On Thursday nights, Quintons offers wine night. For $12, the bar offers five different four-ounce samples, along with a full glass of your favorite wine. Quintons doesnt change its pric- es during the summer, but its open every day, and they offer various drink specials for each day. Richard Arnett, a senior from Shawnee, said he enjoys the bar atmosphere in the summer because there are fewer students around. It is definitely a lot more laid back, and it is easier to get drinks at the bar during the summer, Arnett said. The bar scene is almost bet- ter, just because it isnt as crowded. You can move around easier.

Te sun is setting and the air is cool. You hear a sof rumble, but you shrug it of as thunder, a dis- tant storm. Hiking further, the rum- ble becomes louder, like its headed directly towards you. Ten the rum- ble becomes more like a roar. You hear voices, shouting, even snarling. Ten, a group of nine or 10 people emerges, running and shouting. You duck behind a nearby tree. Te light is low, but you can see capes, shields, and swords. Yes, swords. No, this isnt a hallucination. Youve just witnessed a LARP gathering and the running, shouting, shields and swords are all part of this intricate game that takes imagina- tion to a whole new level. LARP is an acronym for Live Ac- tion Role Play. Its a style of interac- tive gaming that can trace its origins to the late 1970s. Fans of tabletop role-playing games and fantasy flms such as Logans Run wanted to take their appreciation of those imaginary worlds and recreate them in real life. I like to describe it as King Arthur in the woods with a plastic sword, said Joe Bearden, KU graduate and chapter director of Heroic Central, a LARP organization located in the Kansas City and Lawrence areas. Its popularity has grown since the 70s, especially within the last decade and the release of Te Lord of the Rings flm trilogy. Te oldest recorded LARP group is the United States-based organiza- tion, Dagorhir, founded in 1977. Its name originates from J.R.R Tolkiens Sindarin Elven language and trans- lates as Battle Lords. According to its ofcial website, To experience Dagorhir is to grasp at the unobtain- able. Some LARPs are historical, some are fantastical, and some are set in dystopian worlds of the future con- trolled by androids. Tere is clearly an appeal to every nook and cranny of the human imagination. For Bearden, its become a full-time job and passion. He began LARPing in 1992 and is currently working on developing a LARP camp at a site near LaCygne, Kan. He founded a local chapter of Heroic, a national LARP organization, in 2009. Bearden says participants are mostly college age, but they can range anywhere from as young as 4 to working adults. He says its appeal can be diferent for everyone. For some people, its just as simple as liking to fght, he said. For other people, its about creating a charac- ter and seeing the character develop over time. For participant Larisa Hines, LARP is a creative outlet and tempo- rary escape from reality. LARPing is my little Las Vegas, said Hines. What happens in game, stays in game. Hines has been involved with lo- cal LARP organizations for 8 years. She maintains two full-time jobs that sometimes confict with weekend- long LARP events. I just tell people that Im going camping with some friends if I dont think theyd understand, Hines said. Both Bearden and Hines are pas- sionate about the characters, the land, and the game. For those who dont know about it, LARP may sound strange. For them, it adds excitement and imagination, which real life lacks, and Hines is commit- ted to it. Im a LARPer for life. Edited by Maegan Mathiasmeier JESSIcA tIERNEY jtierney@kansan.com Allergies are bad this summer, caus- ing runny noses, sore throats, itchy eyes, and other symptoms that can make summertime difcult to enjoy for people with allergies. Ron Weiner, an asthma, allergy, and immunology specialist at the Law- rence Asthma Allergy Associates, 346 Maine St., said allergies are worse than usual this year. We had such a mild winter that al- lergies tended to be earlier and more intense than in the usual spring, Weiner said. He says grass and pollen are the two common summer allergies and tend to peak in May and June. Amanda Kong, a recent graduate from Lawrence, said her grass allergy is worse during the spring and sum- mer. Grass doesnt cause my eyes to itch or anything, but I cant sit in it or else I will break out in hives in about a min- ute, she said. Ive just learned to avoid it because its so itchy. If Kong does touch grass, she said she takes medication to treat her al- lergy. I have to take an antihistamine or use a topical cream to get the hives to go down, Kong said. Weiner said eye drops and nasal spray are available for people whose nose and eyes are afected by allergies, and cortisone nasal spray is helpful because it decreases mucus, swelling, infammation, and sensitivity to the nose. Nasal decongestants can be addic- tive or harmful, and can cause rebound nasal congestion, so Weiner said he doesnt recommend them. Tey have more side efects than any useful pur- pose, Weiner said. Weiner said people can get an al- lergy skin test done, instead of just tak- ing medicine. Te test can tell some- one what they are allergic to whether its certain trees, grass, weeds, dust, mold, or pests, he said. Te test is an inexpensive and non-traumatic way to identify someones allergies. Asthma Allergy Associates is the only place in Lawrence that does the allergy skin test. Te time of day and diferent weath- er conditions can intensify allergies. Warren Frick, an allergist at the Law- rence Asthma Allergy Associates, said humidity creates mold, which starts growing in the spring and peaks in the fall. Frick also said climate change is causing pollen season to come earlier, stronger, and last longer than usual. Pollen is highest in the early morn- ing and on windy days, Frick said. Keep your windows and doors closed even if the weather is nice.

Aliens itself was definitely a good movie, said Jejo Mathew, a 2012 graduate from Overland Park. The fact that Rid- ley Scott is back on for Prometheus speaks volumes about the potential value this movie is going to have. And come on, a prequel to Aliens? Count me in! Now playing.

TEN MONDAY, JUNE 11, 2012 thE UNIVERSItY DAILY KANSAN PAgE 12 Class gifs allow graduating class- es to literally leave their mark on the University. From the bronze Jayhawk statue in front of Strong Hall to an array of scholarships and war bonds, the gifs have come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they are a University tradition that dates back to 1873, ac- cording to KU Endowment. A large mosaic of the 1912 Jay- hawk was exactly what the Class of 2012 wanted to give the University before parting ways. Senior class ofcers began talk- ing to Marion Waller Paulette, the Universitys Design and Construc- tion Management project manager, in mid-fall. From there, they knew they want- ed a 1912 Jayhawk mosaic because its the hundredth year since its cre- ation. At frst, they wanted it to be fea- tured on a walkway somewhere, but Paulette said they eventually decided on a wall feature because of the fragility of mosaics. Te mo- saic, they decided, should be located somewhere with high trafc. Tough they looked at various places like the Union and buildings on campus that were constructed around 1912, the ultimate decision was Wescoe Hall. Afer they determined where and what they wanted, the committee contacted Tina Murano, a mosaic artist from Wichita. Murano said it was an honor when she was approached to cre- ate the piece in early January of this year. Murano also said it made great sense to accept the project, espe- cially since her daughter Emma is currently a sophomore at the Uni- versity. Murano began sketching and col- laborating designs with the commit- tee in January. She had the concept to work with, but still had intricate details to work out. With it being the 1912 Jayhawk, Murano said, I played around with size and framing the curve of the frame, mosaic work, and the image of the jayhawk... how to lay the tile for the curves of the feathers and bird legs to look like little bird legs, and the variety of colors. Murano said she worked mostly in-studio all the way up until its in- stallation before graduation in early May. Afer nearly half a year planning, fundraising, and creating, the Class of 2012 has lef their colorful mark in the entryway of the Underground in Wescoe Hall with the help of some Kansas talent.

The cost is $5.20 per week or $20.83 per month. Home for the Summeris a pilot program. Jill Urkoski, associate direc- tor at the recreation center, said the membership is an opportunity for non-KU students to use the facility and spark interest in the University in potential students. Urkoski said KU students are the top priority, however, and if the membership afects their recreation center experience, they will discontinue the membership.

With temperatures expected to reach into the 100s, ac- cording to Matt Elwell, a Channel 6 News meteorologist, students are getting creative with ways to keep cool. My philosophy is go anywhere near water, said Larry Flanagan, a junior from Raymore, Mo. Flanagan enjoys going to the pool or the lake during the summer, and his favorite refreshment is summer brew, a mixture of beer, vodka and lemonade. Jenna Fornari, a junior from Cleveland, Ohio, also likes to be near water during the summer. Last year, Fornari spent a day at Oceans of Fun, a waterpark in Kansas City, Mo. Fornari also likes to hang out with friends at the pool and drink strawberry daiquiris to cool of. But the summer heat can be dan- gerous if proper precautions are not taken; someone can become dehy- drated, or have heat strokes from being in the sun too long. Roxie Dohogne, a registered nurse at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said students should try to avoid be- ing outside from around 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when the sun is the hottest. If exposure cant be avoided, Dohogne said to take breaks in a shady area and wear protective clothing. Elwell said to pay attention to hu- midity. Te higher the humidity in the air, the less efciently the human body can produce sweat, which is the natural way it cools of. Staying hydrated is important Do- hogne said. Drinking clear liquids such as water helps keep the body from dehydrating, which is the most common side efect from prolonged sun exposure. Dohogne said to stay away from cafeinated beverages, because they dehydrate the body. Common side efects of dehydra- tion are headache and fatigue, and if the body has stopped sweating, Do- hogne said students should see their physician.

Late Topeka couple donates scholarship A new scholarship is available to students studying abroad in Germany, thanks to a $1.7 million gift from the estate of two late Topeka psychiatrists, Dean T. and Elisabeth Collins. The scholarship will provide sup- port for students to study at an institution of higher education in Germany. According to a news release, the Collinses loved the arts and donated signifcantly to the KU School of Music. The scholarship will focus on KU students study- ing music, particularly opera, but it is open to other majors as well. Jessica Tierney 1, 2, & 3 BRs 3 BR Townhomes Avail.

S sports Conditioning Dylan Derryberry dderryberry@kansan.com aTHleTes geT reaDy Page 14 THe UnIVersITy DaIly Kansan MOnDay, JUne 11, 2012 From athletes who have cho- sen to take time away from the University, to athletes still living in Jayhawker Towers and taking courses, Howard Graham, Learn- ing Services Coordinator for KU Athletics, said that a lot is still expected from the student athletes during the off-season, wherever they are. Whether an athlete is here, home, working or traveling, their teams expect them to maintain their education obligations and stay in shape. Michael Reynolds, a sophomore from Wichita who is an outside linebacker for the football team, says that he and his teammates take advantage of the summer se- mester to stay in shape, keep ahead in classes and create deeper bonds with one another. We have summer conditioning and summer courses right now, Reynolds said. Its not actually a requirement, but most of everyone [on the football team] is here to get ready for the fall. Mostly were just spending time with the new guys, getting to know them and bringing them in and making sure they feel comfortable. Associate Director of Athletics Jim Marchiony says that it is im- perative for teammates to spend time with each other, especially over summer when everyone has more time to do so. Marchiony says this is the key to the success of any of the Universitys teams. Summer is a great time for ath- letes to acclimate themselves to college life in a much less stress- ful atmosphere and its also a time for team members to bond, socially, academically and athleti- cally, Marchiony said. National championships are won in the off- season; part of the summer expe- rience is the bonding experience with each other. Edited by Megan Hinman T here is no denying the charisma of Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price. A native of California, Price is as low-key as any true Midwest- erner and as approachable as Bill Self. Athletic directors drool over the persona he embodies. There is also no denying what Price has accomplished since taking over KU baseball in 2003: seven 30-win seasons, more than 300 wins, 38 players drafted and the Jayhawks first conference title since 1949 in 2006. But recently, Kansas has strug- gled to be anything but the Big 12s doormat, and the Skipper has yet to right the ship. The Jayhawks finished below .500 the last two seasons. They knocked off number two seed, Texas A&M, in the Big 12 Cham- pionship last week before get- ting ousted by Missouri in a tournament that they almost didnt qualify for. When youve got 13 fresh- men on your roster in this league, youve got a tough task ahead of you, Price said after Kansas sea- son ending loss to Missouri. I knew it was going to be a long sea- son with growing pains. Even though Price is a top re- cruiter, (move before Even though, as a sentence) the same justifica- tion for losing year after year just isnt enough. Weve got to get older and more experienced in order to fin- ish games, Price said after failing to make the Big 12 tournament last season. It just goes back to the fact that we need to continue to develop our guys. It echoes what he said about his youngsters at the conclusion of the 2010 season when the Jayhawks finished in 6th. They have had their ups and downs like a lot of freshmen do during the course of the season. They are a big part of our future. The 2010 Jayhawks had seven players get drafted. As for the freshmen that Price excitedly al- luded to in his postseason remarks pitchers Tanner Poppe and Thomas Taylor Poppe ended up in the bullpen as an unreliable closer, while Taylor has consis- tently kept his ERA around 4.50. In a sport that goes hand-in- hand with numbers, here are a few to ponder: two, one and zero. In the Rich Price era, the team has two NCAA tournament ap- pearances, one Big 12 tournament championship, zero finishes high- er than 5th in the conference. Perhaps consistently raising banners in the building next door to Hoglund Ballpark casts an infe- riority complex over Kansas base- ball. There is no denying that in the shadows of Allen Fieldhouse lurks a second-rate baseball team, but at least theyre young.

The Heat got there by outscoring Boston 28-15 in the fourth quarter, with the "Big Three" of Dwyane Wade, Bosh and James scoring every Miami point. "We decided to come together and play together for a reason," Wade said.
