Questions Remain in Athletics Fee Conversation: Weekend Edition

KU college life is about to
go viral.
Im Shmacked arrived in
Lawrence yesterday while on
a tour of college campuses.
Te groups YouTube
channel features videos of
party scenes at diferent
colleges across America.
Four minute videos feature
clips of women grinding,
stacks of books at a library,
ground weed being loaded
onto joint paper, students
walking across campus,
abandoned beer pong tables
full of toppled red Solo cups,
campus buildings facades
and men throwing peace
signs to the camera at a dark
dance club to the tune of
hip-hop music and students
explaining their work-play
balance.
Maggie Young, Panhellenic
Association president,
met with sorority chapter
presidents about Im
Shmackeds scheduled visit.
Te ramifcations of
negative social media
can, as we all know, have
a very lasting efect on
any individuals life,
Young wrote in an email.
Women in the Panhellenic
community are free to make
their own choices at all
times, we just want to ensure
that they consider how
certain choices could come
back to haunt them in the
future, beyond the scope of
their college careers.
Kevin Simpson, KU
Interfraternity Council
president, contacted
fraternity chapter leaders.
Our message was that
we should always be doing
our best to positively
represent our various Greek
organizations and the
University of Kansas as a
whole, regardless of whether
or not cameras are around,
Simpson wrote in an email.
Te scenes the
account portrays are
not representative of the
majority of students, said Jill
Jess Phythyon, director of
KU News Service.
Unfortunately, an outside
group is making money by
exploiting the bad decisions
of a small minority of the
University population,
Phythyon said in an email.
Glorifcation of dangerous
drinking and irresponsible
partying paints an unrealistic
picture of what college life
means for the majority of
our student body. Clearly,
universities nationwide need
to have conversations to
remind students that college
fun doesnt need to involve
stupid choices.
Te account holders of @

Afer the death of all honey
bees in the KU Natural History
Museum exhibit on Feb. 6
due to the same extreme
cold that shut down campus,
the museum has announced
plans to introduce new bees
this spring. A new colony
and queen will be purchased
from a bee supplier in order
to restock the popular exhibit
that ofen times attracts repeat
visitors to the museum.
Its a unique way to give
access to something that
people are usually a bit fearful
of, said Bruce Scherting, KU
Natural History Museum
director of exhibits. Check
back in the spring. Hopefully
things will be buzzing.
Te observational colony
housed in the museum lives in
a structure that allows the bees
to leave the hive via a tube in
order to go out and get food.
Tey were all at the end of
the tube which makes us think
they were trying to block the
cold easterly wind that had
been blowing for those two
days from entering into the
colony, Scherting said.
When the colony frst started
of in the museum it had about
20,000 bees. But during the
fall the population had been
reduced to a couple hundred
bees because of a parasite
problem. Te bees were being
nursed back to health in order
to make it through the winter
months. However, Scherting
believes that there were just
not enough bees in the hive at
the time in order to keep the
colony warm.
We have lost bees before
in the past due to disease or
parasites. We have never lost
them to this type of a weather
situation, Scherting said.

A fundamental question
stands at the forefront of
an ongoing conversation
for Student Senate: should
students help fnance Kansas
Athletics an integral part
of the University that brought
in $93.6 million in revenue in
2013?
Te debate resurfaced in
Mondays recommendation
from the Womens and Non-
Revenue Intercollegiate
Sports Fee Advisory Board
to lower or eliminate the fee.
Te Advisory Board consists
entirely of students, including
chairman David Catt a
former student-athlete.
Students currently pay
a required $25 semesterly
fee to the Kansas Athletics
Department. Tis year, the
fee will result in between $1.2
and $1.3 million going from
students to athletics. If the
fee is lowered or eliminated,
the money could be used by
Student Senate elsewhere.
Tis is Jayhawks helping
Jayhawks, Associate Athletic
Director Jim Marchiony said,
echoing a statement from an
Advisory Board member in
Mondays meeting.
Catt, who compiled a
comprehensive report
detailing fnancial information
from Student Senate and
Kansas Athletics, questioned
the fees possible benefts for
the student body.
I think, if anything, its
the job of Student Senate
to defnitely critically think
about which fees are absolutely
necessary and which generate
the greatest return for the
student body, Catt said. I
see a very minimal return
on investment for the entire
student body.
WHAT IS THE FEE?
Every University student,
knowingly or unknowingly,
pays 18 required campus fees.
Student Senate is in charge of
distributing these fees.
Some of the Universitys
other required campus fees
include a $134.70 Student
Health Fee funding operations
of Student Health Services, a
$4.45 Newspaper Readership
Program Fee providing USA
Today, Te New York Times
and Te Kansan across campus
and a $16.30 SafeRide Fee
to fund car and bus services
running from 10:30 p.m. to
2:30 a.m.
In 1979, when universities
were required to enforce
Title IX regulations, a $1.50
Womens and Non-Revenue
Intercollegiate Sports Fee
was introduced. Adjusted for
infation, that fee would equal
$4.81 today.
Te fee directly funds travel
for womens and mens non-
revenue sports, in part keeping
travel equitable between mens
and womens sports.
Te fee has increased over
time, peaking at $40 from
2006-2011 when students
helped fund a new $6 million,
14,000-square-foot rowing
team boathouse next to the
Kansas River near Burcham
Park. It was lowered to $25 in
2012.
Travel costs have increased
while the student fee has
not, Marchiony said. Have
you bought a gallon of gas
lately? Te cost of travel has
increased dramatically.
From 2005-2012, Athletics
travel costs rose from $2.8
million to $8.5 million. A
womens golf team trip to
Ireland in the summer of
2013 raised questions within
Student Senate.
Are we funding that?
Student Body President
Marcus Tetwiler asked earlier
in the year. Are the 25,000
students at KU subsidizing
lavish expenses?

Sarah Jacobs, a freshman
from Basehor, was doing
something typical for a college
freshman: looking for a part-
time job. While browsing the
listings on Craigslist though,
she nearly fell victim to an
online scam.
Jacobs contacted a poster for
a simple receptionist position,
but the situation quickly
became suspicious afer that.
He started to get me to
work for him right away,
without doing an interview or
any paperwork, Jacobs said.
I kept telling him, No, Im
not doing anything for you. I
havent signed any paperwork.
Im not your employee. But
he just kept trying to send me
stuf.
Tings escalated from there,
with the Craigslist poster
sending Jacobs a check for
$2,400 without having done
any work. Afer doing some
research online, she found
that multiple people had fallen
victim to the same scam, one
that attempted to launder
money through victims under
the guise of a receptionist job.
If Im doing anything like
that online now, I make sure it
has the name of the company
and that the location is in the
advertisement, Jacobs said.
Sometimes companies wont
put their name up and stuf
like that, so I know now I have
to be more aware of that.
Jacobs is not alone in her
brush with an online scam.
Young adults are the most at-
risk group for online identity
thef and scams, according to
the Better Business Bureau,
and 1 in 10 Internet users
has had personal information
stolen, according to Pew
Research Center.
Amy Schroeder, a
sophomore from Colby, nearly
fell victim to an online scam as
well.
While attempting to sell
her laptop on Craigslist,
Schroeder got an ofer from
a man in California who said
he would pay via check. When
she received the check, it was
for $2,500, signifcantly more
than the $400 Schroeder was
asking for. Te buyer wanted
her to cash the check and
give the rest of the money
to a friend of his, but
Schroeder became suspicious
and reported the situation to
her bank, who said it was a
common scam to get money
from fraudulent checks.
I think if youre a college
student its easy to get
caught up in things like
this, Schroeder said. You
think, Oh, heres money but
you have to make sure you
check the background and
make sure youre not being
scammed, which I dont think
a lot of college students do.
Sergeant Trent McKinley
of the Lawrence Police
Department said other scams
that are currently popular
involve scammers posing
as the IRS in order to trick
Internet users into sending
personal information, as well
as emails that are purporting
to be a sign-up for healthcare.
gov.
McKinley said when dealing
with these sorts of scams, or
any sort of person-to-person
interaction with someone
you havent met, users should
be aware of certain types of
suspicious behavior.
Any time anybody is asking
you to wire money somewhere,
thats an indication that you
need to consider what theyre
doing, McKinley said. When
you see things in broken
English too, where someone
is trying to communicate with
you and the sentences arent
complete and punctuation
and conjugation arent correct,
thats an indication that you
may be dealing with someone
dealing with you overseas.
In some cases, online
scammers specifcally set their
sights on college students
and attempt to rope targets
in with promises of fake
scholarships or cheap student
loans. In these instances,
students are tricked by ofcial-
looking documents or web
advertisements and end up
paying for a fake service or
get tricked into an expensive
loan without realizing it. To
avoid situations like this, the
ofce of Federal Student Aid
says students should never pay
for help to fnd scholarship
money and to check with
your university before giving
personal information to a
lender.
If students suspect they have
been a victim of an online
scam, McKinley said to check
for popular scams online
and fle a complaint with the
FBI at www.ic3.gov, but he
warned that those who dont
spot one early like Jacobs and
Schroeder probably dont
stand a chance of getting their
money back.
As soon as we determine
that the money went to a
Western Union location here
in town and then maybe got
wired to somewhere in South
Africa or something like that,
our investigation is probably
over, McKinley said. Were
probably not going to be able
to reach the scammer and get
your money back. Tats why
they like wire transfers, once
its gone, its gone.

CORRECTION
A news story that ran on page
three of Wednesdays edition,
Campus club raises money
for tree replacement project,
incorrectly stated that the
ash trees on the Stauffer-Flint
lawn have been infested by the
emerald ash borer beetle. The
beetle has infested trees in
several nearby counties, but has
not yet been found in Douglas
County. The KU Environs Replant
Mount Oread initiative is, in part,
planting trees in anticipation
of its inevitable arrival, but it
has not yet been discovered on
campus. A quote in the story
also incorrectly named the
ash elm trees, which is not
a real tree species. Finally, the
Environs groups fundraising
and educational events will
take place in the rst two weeks
of March and not the last two
weeks in February.

Many students complain that
the temperatures of classrooms
across campus are inconsistent
and uncomfortable. Some
buildings are too cold, others
are too warm and it seems that
not many of them are just right.
Te extreme temperatures
make it difcult for some
students to concentrate.
Te classrooms would be
so cold that I wouldnt be able
to take of my coat. I was very
uncomfortable, said Lynna
Pham, a freshman from
Witchita.
Jay Phillips, director of
Facilities Services, said that
the simplest solution to the
problem of complaints is
for students and faculty to
fle facility reports when the
temperatures seem unbearable.
However, some of the
temperature issues are not so
simple to solve. Te University
operates on a seasonal heating
and cooling system that doesnt
allow for constant change
to coincide with the volatile
Kansas weather.
Many of our buildings are
two-pipe systems rather than
four-pipe systems, Phillips
said. Four-pipe systems have
cooling water and heating
water, supply and return. So
you can get both heating and
cooling if you need it at any
time. When you have a two-
pipe system, you have one or
the other. You have heat in the
winter and you have cooling in
the summer.
Te age of certain buildings
contributes to the inconsistency
in temperature, as well. Some of
the older buildings function
on an out-of-date system
that doesnt allow for optimal
control of temperatures.
In a lot of cases, we have
pneumatic controls in some
buildings, which they dont
really use anymore, Phillips
said. Pneumatic is air-driven,
so it will use an air system to
help control the system instead
of digital thermostats. When a
new building is built we have
a lot more ability to control
the temperature and systems
within it.
Te Universitys energy
policy requires a standard
temperature to aim for across
campus that is meant to use
sufcient amounts of energy
and supply a comfortable
temperature. According to
Phillips, the University aims to
heat buildings up to 69 degrees
in the winter and cool to 76
degrees in the summer, though
the temperatures dont always
reach this standard.
Facilities Services is trying to
modernize many of the heating
and cooling units.
George Werth, campus
energy manager, said that
there is a possibility of adding
an array of solar panels so that
the Universitys energy use is
more sustainable and efcient.
Facilities Services is applying
for a grant through Westar
Energy that is due by March 1.
If selected, the University plans
to add the solar panel array by
the end of 2015.
Currently, the Universitys
steam plant, which is a natural
gas-fred plant, provides steam
through a central distribution
system to heat the buildings in
the winter. Steam is one of the
more efcient sources of energy
that the University uses.
Phillips urges students to
assist with the eforts.
Te best source of
sustainable savings is from
people; from students, Phillips
said. Turning of lights,
powering down equipment,
keeping a fume hood closed,
just look to conserve energy
anywhere you can.

Kansas House passes
bill to exempt textbook
sales from taxes
Both KU students and on-cam-

cash in their pockets when the
Fall 2014 semester arrives.
House Bill 2557, which was
successfully amended by Rep.
Brandon Whipple, D-Wichita, on
Tuesday to include a tax refund
on textbooks bought by students
in pursuit of a post-secondary
education. The bill successfully
passed the House committee on
Wednesday with a 122-0 vote.
Steve Levin, general manager of
the Jayhawk Bookstore, said that
he thinks it will be benecial for
him as well as the state if the bill
becomes a law because it will in-
crease the money being spent in
the state.
Buying a physics book here,
even though there is no sales
tax that $150 will stay in Kan-
sas, Levin said. You save on a
$300 textbook bill, that will be
about $25 that you can go ahead
and spend at Picklemans or
someplace else, buy some pizza.
It keeps the money here.
Rep. Ken Corbet, R-Topeka, and

Colorado pot market exceeds tax hopes
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER Colorados
legal marijuana market is far
exceeding tax expectations,
according to a budget proposal
released Wednesday by Gov.
John Hickenlooper that gives
the frst ofcial estimate of how
much the state expects to make
from pot taxes.
Te proposal outlines plans
to spend some $99 million
next fscal year on substance
abuse prevention, youth
marijuana use prevention
and other priorities. Te
money would come from a
statewide 10 percent sales tax
on recreational pot, indicating
Colorados total sales next fscal
year will be near $1 billion.
Retail sales began Jan. 1 in
Colorado. Sales have been
strong, though exact fgures for
January sales wont be made
public until early next month.
Te governor predicted sales
and excise taxes next fscal
year would produce some
$98 million, well above a $70
million annual estimate given
to voters when they approved
the pot taxes last year. Te
governor also includes taxes
from medical pot, which are
subject only to the statewide
2.9 percent sales tax.
Washington state budget
forecasters released a
projection Wednesday for that
state, where retail sales dont
begin for a few months.
Economic forecasters in
Olympia predicted that the
states new legal recreational
marijuana market will bring
nearly $190 million to state
cofers over four years starting
in mid-2015. Washington state
sets budgets biennially.
In Colorado, Hickenloopers
proposal listed six priorities for
spending the pot sales taxes.
Te spending plan included
$45.5 million for youth use
prevention, $40.4 million for
substance abuse treatment and
$12.4 million for public health.
We view our top priority as
creating an environment where
negative impacts on children
from marijuana legalization
are avoided completely,
Hickenlooper wrote in a letter
to legislative budget writers,
which must approve the plan.
Te governor also proposed
a $5.8 million, three-year
statewide media campaign
on marijuana use, presumably
highlighting the drugs health
risks. Te state Department
of Transportation would get
$1.9 million for a new Drive
High, Get a DUI campaign to
tout the states new marijuana
blood-limit standard for
drivers.
The classrooms would be so

cold that I wouldnt be able
to take off my coat. I was

@KansanOpinion No, students
should not have to pay the Womens
& Non-Revenue Sports Fee. Well see
what happens in Fee Review (Feb28-
Mar1).
@eitaKrevilO
@KansanOpinion not if theyre re-
quired fees... this may be shocking
news, but some students are here for
an education, not to fund sports.
@Davis_Samuel
@KansanOpinion Successful pro-
grams attract talent and attention
to the university. I am willing to
sacrice a few dollars to better KU.
Should required student
fees cover the KU Athletics
Title IX and non-revenue
sports funds?

:30 a.m., Im eating a
bowl of plain noodles.
I dont feel like Im
breaking any crucial
nutritional rules, although
Emeril might bat an eye. I
give Google a go with, Is a
bowl of noodles healthy?
and am met with a food of
information so useless and
inconsistent that, afer 30
minutes of research, I still
couldnt tell you if a bowl of
noodles is healthy.
Im hit with buzzwords
like MSG, fried,
sodium, and carbs. At
some point in each of these
words histories, they were
chemicals. Now, theyve
been hijacked by diet books
and cooking shows that
have turned them into
selling points.
Despite knowing in
general that carbs arent
great and too much red
meat makes pooping
a chore, the study of
nutrition is barely more
than a pseudoscience to
me.
Tere are some basic
principles that we all
know: soda bad, broccoli
good. But every couple of
months, the entire feld
of nutritional science will
reverse their position on
products and foods.
Its like theyre fipping
coins.
If this were just about
any other scientifc feld,
itd be harmless. When
paleontologists announced
that the triceratops wasnt
its own species of dinosaur,
our inner child was
bummed out but nothing
substantial changed.
When the Higgs boson
made national news over
the summer, we all cheered
but had no idea what it
meant to our daily lives.
When nutritional
scientists decide in April
that fat is bad in all forms,
I avoid fat. In May when
they change their minds
and claim that fat is
essential and carbs are the
true culprit, I do my best to
adjust accordingly.
All of these are afecting
the food that goes into
my body. What I eat can
protect me from heart
disease and make me
more prone to it in the
same stroke. Te choices
we make in our diets
have both immediate and
long-term impacts on our
bodies, minds and lives.
Mark Haub, a professor
of human nutrition at
Kansas State University,
ate a structured diet made
up of Nutty Bars, Twinkies
and powdered doughnuts.
Afer eight weeks hed
lost 27 pounds and cut
his cholesterol by twenty
percent.
Tis wasnt a formal
study, more of a class
project. His results are no
less mind-boggling to me.
He consumed the kind of
food that diet scientists
vilify and yet came out
better for it.
Tese anomalies arent a
refection of the nutritional
sciences failing. Tese
results are instead a
refection of how fckle and
complicated our bodies
really are. And, more
importantly, how difcult it
is to set down broad-stroke
rules for diet of any kind.
Te current thing is
being gluten-free. Every
restaurant, diet book, and
grocery store is pandering
to the new regime of anti-
gluten and will continue
to do so until the next fad
comes along. It sells, gives
your brand a healthy,
earthy vibe, and the only
cost is a few extra gluten-
free labels and a new set of
menus.
When it comes to
Americas health, I dont
want profts to be the
priority.
I understand that
nutrition is an evolving
science and that we live
in rapidly transforming
times. Tats all fne and
dandy. Id appreciate it if
the nutritional science
community didnt run
from their laboratories
screaming at the top of
their lungs that X food is
a carcinogen afer a single
study.
Nutritional science is the
only area of study wherein
sweeping generalizations
are accepted as truth by
morning news shows.
Until, of course, they
change their minds a few
months later.

health standards change often
O
ur beliefs do not have
to match those of our
parents. If we didnt
realize this before in high
school, our time at college
should certainly make us
realize this simple fact now.
Besides having the freedom
to choose what to believe and
not to believe, we are also
exposed to an overwhelming
diversity of religions on
campus. As a result, being
away for college becomes
the quintessential space for
opening up to diferent ways
of thinking about God and
developing our own personal
beliefs.
Some of us do choose
to identify with specifc
beliefs, creeds and doctrines.
Conversion experiences as
well as stories of reversion to
faiths we were raised in can
be powerful moments for us,
from the student who fnds
belonging in a new Christian
community on campus to the
Muslim student who takes
on the challenge of praying
fve times a day, the creeds we
adopt in our daily lives can
enrich and defne our spiritual
lives.
Tose of us who have gone
through this faith journey
have come to understand
creed in a much diferent
way than our Sunday school
experiences. We understand
creed as not something that
can be shoved down the throat
of any self-conscious human
being.
No one, not even our
parents, should expect that
just because they have a
specifc defnition of God, or,
even more fundamentally,
they say God exists at all,
that we should sign up
unquestionably as believers of
that dogma.
In his book God in Search
of Man, Rabbi Abraham
Heschel says, in formulating
a creed, in asserting: God
is, we merely bring down
overpowering reality to the
level of thought. Our thought
is but an afer-belief.
What attaches us to
creeds begins with an inner
questioning, an inner thirst,
and then an intimation of
some greater reality. Heschel
says the statement God
is is an understatement.
It is merely a phrase that is
an attempt to describe our
spirituality and experience
with God, something that is
surely beyond language.
Behind our God is
statements, there is something
deeper and far more intimate
to each of us that is difcult
to put into words. Tis deeper
something cannot be
reproduced by simply reciting
the creeds and catechisms of
our parents. To do so would
be placing these dogmatic
statements above the very
thing they attempt to describe,
that is, God.
In contrast, the creeds
we adopt voluntarily are
assertions of a faith weve
personally arrived at. We
understand that creed is
actually an understatement
to larger experiences,
journeys, and stirrings of our
hearts and minds. Creeds, if
we chose to adopt them, are
an afer-belief.

Te spiking temperatures and
sunshine have lured Jayhawks
out of hiding. Teyre running,
walking, biking and throwing
Frisbees all over campus.
Despite how great it may be to
see everyone out and about, the
28,000 students attending the
University make it challenging
to fnd alone time with the
beautiful weather. Visit these
four spots around Lawrence
this spring for an escape from
campus trafc.

Wells Overlook:
Wells Overlook (the
Overlook) is located about
10 minutes from campus and
is the place to go if someone
wants to catch one of Kansas
famous sunsets. Te Overlook
has a two-story tower perfect
for both sun gazing and star
watching. Its a perfect frst date
location, if youre not afraid of
heights. You can see miles out
when standing on top of the
tower.

Clinton Lake:
People make memories at
Clinton Lake. Even though its
about 15 minutes away from
campus, it really is the whole
package. Tere are benches
scattered around the lake
secluded enough for students
to have privacy, whether its
with themselves, friends or a
signifcant other. Its a great
place to fnd quiet. Even if
someone is with small children
and cant walk the hiking trails,
theyre able to take advantage
of the playground.
Centennial Park:
Located only four minutes
from Jayhawk Boulevard in the
600 block of Rockledge Road,
Centennial Park is an awesome
spot for runners, grilling out
and family outings. Tere is a
skatepark within it that attracts
skateboarders of all ages, but
there is more. Tis 35-acre
park consists of a playground,
three picnic areas and a disc
golf course, according to the
City of Lawrence Parks and
Recreations website. Te
expansive park is a good place
for students to hang out and be
active.
Potter Lake:
Potter Lake is located about
100 steps from Strong Hall and
is a Jayhawk favorite. During
the spring, Jayhawks lay out
their towels and do homework
while sunbathing. It is located
just close enough for everyone
on campus to appreciate it, but
its hardly ever overpopulated.
Many stories circulate campus
about people jumping in and
swimming in the lake. Tis
spring, students should visit
Potter Lake because its a get
away without having to get
away.

Lawrence is made up of
plenty of places where students
can explore and fnd peace of
mind. Tis spring, dont sit
around experiencing the same
old thing. Take advantage of
the weather, Lawrence and the
possibly limited time you get to
spend here.

MUSIC
Illmatic embodies Nas
timeless ow, rhymes
Twenty years ago, a 20-year-
old by the name of Nasir bin
Olu Dara Jones, AKA Nas,
released what is arguably one
of the most important rap
albums ever, Illmatic. With
its 20th anniversary coming
in April, now is the perfect
time to look back on the
album.
Even though its his debut,
Illmatic is without a doubt
Nas greatest work. Most of
Nas albums over his two
decades long career have
been good but they have not
come close to the impact that
Illmatic had over the entire
genre of rap.
Most of the album was
written and recorded when
Nas was 18, but his age is
not noticeable. He sounds
like a veteran on Illmatic.
In the album he masterfully
paints vivid imagery and tells
amazing stories. Nas fow
and lyrics hold up today as if
the album was released last
week.
Te album also features
legendary production from
D.J. Premier. Illmatic is
the gold standard for the
boom-bap era in hip-hop.
N.Y. State of Mind is one
of Premiers best beats and
is basically a perfect song,
which Nas did, impressively,
in one take.
Illmatic brought back a
focus on lyricism in hip-hop
and forced other rappers to
step their game up. Without
it there might not have been a
golden age in hip-hop during
the 90s.
Te legendary album has
sometimes been a bad thing
in Nas career because every
album hes released since
then has been compared to
Illmatic, and they just arent
as good. Tis comparison
makes the rest of his albums
seem worse (not that theyre
bad) than they actually are.
If the album was released
today as a brand new project
and nobody had ever heard
of Nas, it wouldnt have been
nearly as infuential as it was
in 1994. It defnitely would
get very little to no radio play
because of how dated the
production is. Not that the
production is bad but youll
rarely hear boom-bap type
production in hip-hop today.
Te only song that might
have a chance at becoming
a hit today is N.Y. State
of Mind because of the
aforementioned reasons. In
fact, the only people who
would truly appreciate the
album for the masterpiece it
is would be hip-hop heads.
Te rest of the world would
be clueless.
Its hard to envision the
album today because of
how much it infuenced the
genre; who knows how rap
would sound if Illmatic
never came out. Compared to
todays artists, a lot of quality
rappers sound similar to Nas
on Illmatic because of the
albums huge infuence.
Directly compared to the
music of today, this album
sounds a lot like Pro Era, who
were obviously infuenced
by 90s rap, other than that
theres not much today that
has the feel of Illmatic
because of the evolution of
the genre.
Illmatic is one of the most
important albums of the 90s,
but todays audiences would
not be as receptive to the
album as people were back
then.

THEATER
You are in for a treat
tonight, get ready to watch
something amazing happen,
Executive Director Derek
Kwan said as he opened
the show. Tat was exactly
what happened, something
amazing. From live music
provided by Jigu! Tunder
Drums of China and talented
performers, the audience was
purely captivated in laughter,
fear and astonishment for
two hours.
According to
chineseacrobats.com, Since
their Western debut in
1986, Te Peking Acrobats
have redefned audience
perceptions of Chinese
acrobatics.
People of all ages packed the
Lied Center on Wednesday
to see Te Peking Acrobats.
Teir performance consisted
of 21 bold acts. Each act was
carefully choreographed to
tell a story through the use
of color, music and special
props. During one act, named
the Pagoda of Chairs, a man
carefully climbed up six
stacked white, wooden chairs
on top of four bottles and a
bottom platform measuring
about two feet. He was nearly
touching the ceiling and you
could hear shrieks from the
anxious audience as he kept
adding more chairs. It only
got better from there as he
balanced himself on one
hand atop the chairs. As he
fnally climbed down and
took a fnal bow, the audience
gave him a standing ovation
for his amazing performance.
Aside from the amazing
stunts, there were comedy
and live music intermixed. In
one act, an acrobat balanced
what seemed to be a bowl of
eggs on top of an 8-foot pole
that rested on his forehead.
As he moved around the
stage, the pole slipped from
his head and the bowl of eggs
fell into the front rows of the
audience causing everyone
to scream. However, the
eggs just happened to be a
cluster of balls tied together.
As the performers smirked
at the people in the front, the
audience erupted in laughter.
Another special addition to
the performers was the Jigu!
Tunder Drums of China
that provided live music to
perfectly accompany the
various acts.
Te performance was
truly a spectacular, energetic
experience that lef you
fully engaged and at times
squirming in your seat. Te
acrobats, men and women
ranging in all ages, lef
an impression of beauty,
admiration and fearlessness
on all. As they twisted their
bodies in ways you could
never even imagine in perfect
rhythm with one another, the
audience was awestruck. It
was a show that told a story
of a culture. In the end, Te
Peking Acrobats received a
standing ovation for their
performance that kept
everyones full attention in
astonishment as they climbed
atop of each other, twisted
their bodies and few and
spun through the air.

Spring trends head to Midwest after fashion week
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER

The Ralph Lauren Fall 2014 collection is modeled during Fashion Week in New York on Feb. 13.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Despite a snow storm, Ralph Laurens pair of shows in the West Village on Feb. 13, the nal day of Mer-
cedes-Benz Fashion Week, went on as scheduled and were well attended. After the show, the designer walked
the runway and waved to attendees.
As New York Fashion Week
drew to a close last week
with more than 75 featured
designers, 2014s hottest
trends are preparing to hit the
stores. But you dont have to
be an A-lister to bring a little
bit of NYC to LFK. Make a
statement with the best of this
years Fashion Week-inspired
outft ideas for your next
night out on the town.

Michael Kors
With a show flled with
neutrals and sof shades
of navy and green, Kors
presented a workable contrast
between youth and timeless
classics.
Try pairing a cropped
sweater with a skater skirt.
Stick with neutral colors on
the bottom, and then feel
free to express yourself with
colored knits on top. Tis
look also provides the chance
to experiment with makeup
and hair. Adding a bright red
lipstick or dramatic makeup
keeps this outft young and
playful.

Oscar de la Renta
Always a source of ladylike
elegance, Oscar de la Renta
is the go-to designer for
countless celebrities and
public fgures. Troughout
his Spring 2014 collection,
onlookers were swept away
by a variety of sheer eyelet
and lace cuts, pastels and eye-
catching accessories.
Crochet and lace tops in
whites and creams are a
great way to tastefully show a
little skin. When paired with
leather leggings and a colored
pair of heels, you can make a
statement without attracting
the wrong kind of attention.
Keep your undergarments
nude so as to not distract
from this chic look.

Ralph Lauren
According to the ofcial
Ralph Lauren Collection
website, My Spring 2014
Collection celebrates a simple
purity of clean lines and
structure, with a nod to the
bold spirit and playfulness of
swinging London in the late
60s.
So channel your inner Brit
by embracing a new sense of
color. Look for miniskirts and
dresses in bright, eye catching
shades of green, orange, pink,
yellow and red. Keep in mind
bright doesnt necessarily
mean neon. Channel your
fashion personality by either
dressing this look up or down
with simplistic jewelry or
statement pieces.

Salma Hayek impresses in black leather at Gucci
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILAN Te fashion
crowd moved on to Milan
Fashion Week on Wednesday,
leaving behind memories of
snowy New York and rainy
London.
Gucci, Alberta Ferretti and
newcomer Fausto Puglisi
launched six days of fashion
previews for next fall and
winter womenswear looks.
Fashion is Milans main
economic activity and
designers mean business:
Te Milan runways showcase
apparel, shoes and handbags
that create revenues of some
15 billion euros ($20 billion),
according to a new study for
the business daily Il Sole 24
Ore, or one-quarter of Italys
entire fashion industry.
Te good news for Italys
economy, which remains in
the doldrums overall, is that
fashion exports are on the rise,
hitting a record 45 billion last
year.
PROJECTING FEMALE POWER
Salma Hayek is all about
female power. Its at the heart
of the Chime for Change
project she is running with
Gucci designer Frida Giannini
and singer Beyonce. And it
is in the strong leather look
she wore to Guccis front row.
Hayek wore a mod leather
beret with a double-breasted
leather jacket, skirt and black
patent leather platform boots
from Guccis pre-fall 2014
collection. Te look was set
of with a purple python fringe
shoulder bag.
Hayek hinted that there
will be some news soon on
the Chime for Change a
Gucci project launched last
year to promote education,
health and justice for girls and
women throughout the world.
On her movie career, Hayek
says she starts work this spring
on a new movie, Te Tales
of Tales, by Italian director
Matteo Garrone.
GUCCIS LUSCIOUS TEXTURES
Hayek gushed over the
sofness of Guccis lusciously
textured looks for next winter
from supple leather to
shaggy fur.
I love it. I want to touch
everything. Its so sof, and so
beautiful, Hayek said afer the
womenswear preview show
for next fall and winter that
marked the launch of Milan
Fashion Week.
Gianninis looks for next fall
and winter are sof in both
color and mood even if
sticking with decidedly Gucci
and winter materials like
leather and fur. Te colors were
snatched from your favorite
Crayola box of yesteryear:
cornfower blue, sage green,
brushed pink blush set of
by neutrals in tan, black and
camel.
A-line Nappa leather mini
dresses had rufed fronts
a testament to the suppleness
of the materials. Waistlines
were higher, and hemlines
were short, showing of knee-
high leather high-heeled
boots. Suits were slim-ftting,
contrasting nicely with shaggy
colored furs that give a carefree
founce with every step. For
evening wear, there were
romantic leather mini-dresses
with bejeweled tops worn
with big crystal bracelets.
ROMANTIC NATURALISM
Alberta Ferrettis looks
appear to have sprung from
the woodlands, crafed from
feathers, fnished in fur and
draped in romantic lace.
Ferretti said the looks were
created for women who are
real and a little special.
Shes a hunter: Wispy
feathers formed a skirt while
black feathers provide a sturdy
armor for the breast. Shes
a romantic: draped in sheer
pleated fabric accented with
contrasting lace. Shes practical
nymph: woolen laden shifs
provide sturdy elegance. Shes
a landscape itself: jacquard
detailing form concentric
circles that give shape and
texture to a dress, fnished at
the hemline and neckline with
tufs of feathers. Colors were
earthy olive, orange, crimson
and blues.
Ferretti completed the looks
with strappy sandals were
worn with ankle socks, or
romantic ballerinas.
FLOUNCE THAT!
Did you see life,
movement? Italian designer
Fausto Puglisi asked back
stage.
Puglisis looks created a
kaleidoscope of color as they
moved down the black runway
in the glare of half a dozen
spotlights: triangles of red
and blue, trapezoids of green,
yellow, lavender all against
a black background as if the
shapes were performers on a
stage.
Te collection was as uplifing
as a circus skit, yet with a rock
nroll edge evoked with
spikes, studs and jewels. Te
strength of the collection was
in the structure of the pieces.
On one end of the spectrum
was a pleated skirt that fans
fat across the body, or another
fat eye-shaped skirt suggestive
of a costume in its Harlequin
diamond pattern. Tere were
also sofer looks, silky shirts,
sof sweaters worn with satiny
pleated skirts.
Te looks themselves
projected varied lifestyles,
from tough East Village
rocker in leggings and a
graphic T-shirt to Midtown
professional in a belted sweater
over a knee-length pleated
skirt, yet all were united in
their bold geometry and color
scheme. Or, as Puglisi summed
up the dichotomy, polished
vs. rebellious.
Puglisi, who is creative
director for Ungaro in Paris
and began last year showing
his own line in Milan, credits
his success to his experience
in the United States, where
he became a darling of the
Hollywood crowd. He paid
tribute in this collection with
the Statue of Liberty featured
as a recurring motif.

Kidnapped girl found dead
in Missouri mans home
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS A middle-
school football coach has
been jailed on suspicion of
frst-degree murder in the
abduction and death of a
10-year-old girl in southwest
Missouri, police said
Wednesday.
A body believed to be that
of Hailey Owens was found
Wednesday at a Springfeld
home owned by the suspect,
Police Chief Paul Williams
said at a news conference.
Ofcial confrmation wont
occur until afer an autopsy,
but the chief said police have
a high degree of confdence in
the preliminary identifcation.
He did not disclose the childs
cause of death.
Police say Craig Michael
Wood, 45, is jailed on suspicion
of frst-degree murder but
formal charges have not been
fled. Te Greene County
prosecutor is reviewing the
case.
Hailey was walking to a
friends home in Springfeld
just before 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Witnesses told investigators
that a man in a gold 2008 Ford
Ranger pickup truck drove
down the street several times
before abducting the child,
who was just several blocks
from her own home.
Wood was arrested late
Tuesday inside his truck
parked outside his small,
single-story home.
Te Springfeld School
District said Wood is a
seventh-grade football
coach and teachers aide
who supervises in-school
suspensions at a school for
students in kindergarten
through eighth grade. Hailey
did not attend that school,
and Williams said the two
apparently didnt know each
other.
Teres no connection that
weve been able to determine
at this time between the victim
and the suspect, he said.
Williams said police have no
idea of a motive for the killing.
He said the suspect has not
talked to investigators since
his arrest.
Te suspects father, Jim
Wood of Ash Grove, Mo., told
Te Associated Press that the
girls disappearance was a
tragedy but declined further
comment.
About 30 Springfeld police
investigators along with an
FBI evidence response team
searched the area near Woods
home Wednesday morning, as
well as a nearby coin-operated
laundry.
A records search shows
Wood had little criminal
history. He pleaded guilty to
possession of a controlled
substance in 1990 in Greene
County and was fned $100.
Springfeld School District
Superintendent Norm Ridder
said in a statement Wednesday
that Wood began working for
the district in August 1998 and
is a paraprofessional and coach
at Pleasant View K-8 School.
Ridder said Wood has been
suspended since his arrest.
School spokesman Teresa
Bledsoe later said that
Wood was initially hired as
a temporary employee who
worked as a substitute teacher
before he was hired full time
in 2006.

WHO IS WHO?
Texas Tech, for example, has
a required $57.20 fee built in
to a students tuition that pays
for entry to all athletic events.
Kansas, on the other hand,
has a required $25 fee and an
optional $150 student ticket
package combination, which
includes entry to football and
basketball games.
Kansas State gives students
three diferent options for
ticket packages. Te most
expensive is a $295 ICAT
football and mens basketball
combo pass ofering students
premiere seating, two T-shirts,
early entry and priority on
post-season events.
Of the four schools, Kansas
all sports package is the
cheapest by nearly $100, and
its required fee is the second
lowest.
Of the nine Big 12 schools
accounted for in Catts report
(TCU is a private institution
and not required to disclose its
fnancial information), Kansas
ranks sixth in total student
support between its ticket sales
and student-fee-generated
revenue.
If the fee were removed,
Kansas Athletics would
stand last in fnancial student
support, nearly $1 million
behind Oklahoma currently
last in the conference.
WHAT IF THE FEE GOES?
Both Jim Marchiony and Pat
Kaufman, Kansas Athletics
CFO, stressed the importance
of this fee for the Universitys
compliance with Title IX
standards.
Its an important piece of
our efort to ensure travel for
womens and non-revenue
sports is equitable, Marchiony
said.
Te question of the fees
necessity remains at the heart
of Student Senates debate.
Student Senate has $50,000
this year in funding for student
organizations a third of what
previous Senates have been
able to disburse, according
to a previous Kansan report.
Athletics revenue totaled
$93.6 million in 2013.
Should this budget hole
exist, the student-athlete
experience would change very
little, Catt said on Monday. I
think there would be a way to
make up that revenue.
If the fee is lowered or
eliminated Kansas Athletics
will have to fnd an alternate
way to sustain its current
level of funding. Marchiony
was asked if that includes
raising the $150 student ticket
package.
Everything would be on the
table, Marchiony said. We
would search in every way
possible to raise the money.
In Mondays meeting, Debbie
Van Saun, senior associate
athletics director and senior
woman administrator, said the
support from the University
goes a long way for womens
and non-revenue sports.
Tis University and this
institution has chosen to
not make it always about the
dollars and the cents, Van Saun
said. Tis institution found it
philosophically appropriate as
a whole to support womens
and non-revenue sports.

bees are housed, to a small
hole in the museums window,
where the bees enter and
exit, was designed to make it
hard for cold air to get in. But
Scherting believes that the
wind was hitting the building
just right on those two days
causing the bees to gather
at the end trying to keep the
cold air out.
Dr. Chip Taylor, professor
of ecology and evolutionary
biology, said that
observational colonies of bees
are unnaturally small which
makes it difcult for bees to
survive. He said the typical
size of a wild colony is about
the volume of a fve-gallon
bucket.
We have had wild colonies
living in trees on campus and
in corners of buildings that
have lived 20 years on campus
since I have been here and
it is because they are better
insulated, they have more
space, they are more natural
in the sense of how the combs
are constructed, Taylor said.
According to the KU
Natural History Museums
honey bee exhibit, the
pollinating activity of bees
is responsible for about one-
third of the food we eat,
which includes 90 types of
fruits, vegetables and nuts.
It is estimated by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
that bee activity helps
generate about $15 billion per
year in crop production in the
U.S.
Nationally, if there is a
decline in the honey bee
population, the cost of various
foods like apples, peaches,
raspberries and almonds
could increase, Taylor said.

PAGE 9B Jayhawks head south for Jackson State Tournament
Te Kansas womens
basketball team will look
to recover from its narrow
loss to Iowa State as the
team takes on Oklahoma in
Norman, Okla., this Saturday.
Both teams enter the contest
having dropped three of their
last four and in desperate
need of a run before the Big
12 Tournament.
Te Jayhawks (12-14,
5-9 Big 12) have struggled
fnding their identity during
arguably the most vital
stretch of their conference
schedule. Against the
Cyclones, they let a crucial,
would-be win slip from their
grasp in the games fnal
minutes.
Teir three losses over the
past two weeks have quelled
any talks of a late-season run
at the NCAA tournament.
Te only scenario where
Kansas can advance to the
big dance is by piecing
together a run to win the
conference tournament. Te
groundwork must begin now.
Look for junior forward
Chelsea Gardner to continue
to be the focal point of both
the Jayhawks ofense and
defense against the Sooners
(15-11, 6-7 Big 12). Shes
been an absolute terror this
year, notching double-digit
points in her last 11 games
while leading the Big 12 with
11 double-doubles.
Shes atop the conference
in defensive rebounds and
sits sixth in blocked shots
as the anchor of Kansas
post defense. Coach Bonnie
Henrickson will certainly be
intent on keeping Gardner
out of foul trouble, which
limited her minutes in the
Jayhawks 81-71 loss last time
these two met on Feb. 9.
Oklahoma may be without
its top scorer in senior guard
Aaryn Ellenberg, who lef
the teams last game in the
second half afer fnding
herself on the wrong end of
a hard screen. Ellenberg is
third in the Big 12 with 18
ppg and lit up the Jayhawks
for 17 second-half points in
Allen Fieldhouse two weeks
ago.
Tough even without its
star, the Sooners ofense is
still one of the conferences
best. Teyre frst in terms of
feld-goal percentage at just
under 45 percent and possess
the second-most potent
scoring ofense. Additionally,
theyve eclipsed the 70-point
mark in fve of their last eight
contests; the Jayhawks have
had fve such games in all of
Big 12 play.
Still, Saturdays game
will come down to how
well Kansas can defend the
3-point shot and whether or
not Gardner can produce.
Oklahoma went 7-15 from
behind the arc the teams
frst meeting, seemingly
sinking a three every time
the Jayhawks began a run.
Expect junior guard Natalie
Knight and senior guard
CeCe Harper to play tighter
perimeter defense this time
to avoid a repeat.
Kansas must do a better job
of creating open looks for
Gardner in the post as well.
Sooners senior center Nicole
Grifn absolutely stifed the
junior forward last time out,
holding her without a single
feld goal in the frst half.
Gardner was virtually a non-
factor before fouling out in
the games fnal minute.
With an at-large
tournament bid likely out of
the picture, look for Kansas to
simply try to improve certain
aspects of its game prior to
the Big 12 Tournament.
Te two teams meet at
7 p.m. in the Lloyd Noble
Center.

GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Junior second baseman Justin Protacio throws to rst for the double play on March 16, 2013, against Wichita
State. Kansas plays this weekend in the Snowbird Classic in Florida.
E
very time it looks like
Kansas basketball has
shed its inexperience and
looks like its fnally playing up
to its talent level, it reminds us
the growing process isnt over.
Te last three games were the
latest reminder. Kansas lost to
Kansas State, thrashed TCU,
and snuck a last-second win at
Texas Tech. Te TCU thrashing
was a tale of two halves. And
Kansas fans felt the early-signs
of a heart-attack against Texas
Tech before Andrew Wiggins
game-winning layup.
Its not that Kansas isnt talent-
ed. Its the consistent struggle of
inconsistently winning the little
battles.
Kansas 3-point defense
allowed its last three opponents
to shoot 51 percent (19-37).
Te team commits turnovers
at a shocking rate, ranking 268
of 345 teams in division one at
13.3 per game. And its painful
free-throw displays havent
improved.
Yet, in spite of its glaring
faws, Kansas continues win-
ning in the competitive Big 12.
Te last three games are the
strongest proof of this point.
Teres not a lot of shame
losing away to K-State, who
is undefeated at home in the
Big 12. Texas Tech, despite its
record, is the most underrated
team in the conference. Techs
coach Tubby Smith showed fans
that hes still a master tactician
by holding Kansas ofense to
15 points less than its season
average.
Tere are a lot of frustrating
moments with this batch of
mostly freshmen, but Kansas
is still a top-10 team. Not to
mention yet another conference
title is certain if it beats Texas
on Saturday.
Kansas ofense, despite the
turnovers and free throws,
is one of the nations best. Its
defense, at times lackadaisical
eforts and high foul counts,
has shown the potential to be
lockdown.
Te reminders of Kansas
growing pains have become
less frequent compared to the
beginning of the season, but
theyre not going away anytime
soon. Afer all, this is a team
with three freshmen in its
starting lineup.
Even the elder statesmen
of Kansas are prone to these
inconsistencies. Sophomore
forward Perry Ellis four points
against Texas Tech afer 32
against TCU. Junior guard
Naadir Tarpe followed up his
10 assists against Kansas State
with decidedly meh perfor-
mances against TCU and Texas
Tech. Senior forward Tarik
Blacks inability to earn consis-
tent foor-time.
Kansas has fve regular
season games and the Big 12
tournament before the March
Madness tournament. Teres
no learning from growing pains
in March. Te tournaments
one-and-done format is a scary
thought with this team.
Kansas has until then to
fgure out its inconsistencies
on ofense and defense. If not,
fans will see fashbacks of Self s
most talented Kansas teams
losing early in March. But, if
the inconsistencies are solved,
fashbacks of 2008s champion-
ship season will be impossible
to avoid.

Te Kansas Jayhawks (4-
0), coming of their sweep of
Brigham Young University,
head down to Port Charlotte,
Fla., where they will face
four teams in four days. Te
Jayhawks, fresh of their
sweep, come in with a bit more
confdence heading into the
Snowbird Classic.
Everything came together,
said shortstop Justin Protacio,
who knows the importance of
starting of strong. We swung
the bat well, played good
defense. Our pitching was
outstanding; I couldnt imagine
a better start.
Te Jayhawks tee things of
bright and early at 9:30 a.m.
on Friday where they will
take on the Northwestern
Wildcats (0-3). On the mound
for the Wildcats is Brandon
Magallones, who is fresh of
his six-strikeout, six-inning
performance against Southern
California last weekend.
Northwestern was very
competitive against USC,
said coach Ritch Price. Tey
pitched great. Its always been
their strength and their best guy
is going up against Benjamin. It
should be a good matchup.
Wes Benjamin is in the
process of proving himself as
a legitimate Friday starter. He
went the length pitching seven
innings, getting four batters to
whif at the plate, to earn his
frst win of the year.
He grinded through seven
innings, Price said. He didnt
have a really good command,
but the great thing he did was
able to get guys out and stop
the bleeding, which is what all
great pitchers do.
On Saturday, the Jayhawks get
an early start facing Wisconsin-
Milwaukee (0-3) who are still
looking for that frst win. Te
Panthers will likely throw Brian
Keller on the mound. He was
tossed around, allowing eight
hits and four runs in just fve
innings.
Price will put Robert Kahana
on the hill. Te right-handed
junior was extraordinary in
his frst start, pitching seven
shutout innings against the
Cougars, picking up his frst
win as well.
Kahana was special, his
command was outstanding,
Price said. Hes been our best
guy. He was our best guy in
the fall. It was really exciting
to see him take that next step
against a quality team.
In the third game of the
Classic, the Jayhawks have a
1:30 p.m. frst pitch on Sunday,
against Mississippi Valley State.
Frank Duncan will be put on
the mound. Te right-handed
senior tossed 6.2 innings in his
2014 debut, allowing 12 hits
and seven runs.
I had a hard time felding
my position, Duncan said. I
ended up beating myself. Give
BYU credit, they were a real
aggressive team and put some
swings on some balls.
If the Jayhawks want to
return home undefeated, they
are going to need continued
contribution from their lineup.
Center felder Connor McKay,
had a memorable weekend
knocking in seven RBIs, from
two home runs for a .267
average to lead the way.
He is blessed with some
incredible bat speed, Protacio
said. If you watched him in
batting practice every day, he
puts on a show.
Catcher Kaiana Eldredge is
of to a stellar senior campaign,
batting a team leading .417
average to pair with his three
RBIs. Freshman third baseman
Aaron Hernandez is of to a
.400 start with fve RBIs to earn
his Big 12 Newcomer of the
Week honors.
Te fnal game of the classic
is a 10 a.m. frst pitch against St.
Bonaventure, who have yet to
play a game. Te Bonnies were
picked to fnished 12th in the
Atlantic 10 afer fnishing 20-
28 in 2013.
We have to play better
than we played last weekend
in Arizona, Price said. It
was a great start, if we want to
prepare us to play in the Big
12 conference, we have to get
better every weekend.

WOMENS BASKETBALL
H
ow ofen do team locker
rooms become the lead,
the point of discussion for
the media? For the Miami Dolphins,
its been one of the most discussed
sports stories among the media since
early November, and the story has
hit rock bottom recently.
It all started when lef tackle Jona-
than Martin departed from the team
for emotional reasons, according
to Pro Football Talk in late October.
A few days later, it was reported that
Dolphins right guard Richie Incogni-
to was the cause of the emotional
reasons that made Martin want to
leave midway through the season.
Tis immediately led to the
Dolphins suspending Incognito for
conduct detrimental to the team.
ESPN.com reported that Incogni-
to sent copious text messages and
voicemails to Martin, making threats
against Martin and his family.
ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefer
reported that Incognito has exces-
sively sent Martin vulgar texts and
voicemails since the two have be-
come teammates in 2012. Te most
distressing message was sent in April
of 2013 when Incognito threatened
to slap Martins mother and sent a
death threat against Martin.
In an exclusive interview with FOX
Sports Jay Glazer, Incognito claimed
he isnt a racist nor is bullying an is-
sue between him and Martin, despite
the label hes received. But Incognito
said that before Martins departure
from the team, he received a text
from Martin, writing that he will
murder Incognitos whole family.
Since November, fans and the
media have pointed the fnger at the
Dolphins front ofce. Although the
front ofce rarely goes into a teams
locker room, then-General Manag-
er Jef Ireland and head coach Joe
Philbin should take a large part of
the blame.
Philbin and his coaching staf
designated Incognito as one of the
leaders on the ofensive line, despite
his troubled past. By knowing what
activities have given Incognito a
bad reputation, Philbin should have
known better than to hand a leader-
ship role to a player whos regarded
as a cancer, to which Incognito
admitted in his exclusive interview
with Glazer.
NFL investigator Ted Wells re-
ported this month Incognito was
the ringleader of the incidents, but
teammates John Jerry and Mike
Pouncey joined Incognito in putting
down Martin. Martin was obstinately
taunted and ridiculed dispropor-
tionately with sexually
explicit comments about
his mother and sister, in
addition to other remarks
and insults.
Troughout Incognitos
suspension and while de-
veloping stories unfold,
Incognito has been vocal
on Twitter and called
out nearly every sports
media outlet for defama-
tion. (By the way, going
on a Twitter tirade never
goes well.)
While Incognito has
comfortably spoken
publicly about the incident,
Martin has stayed away from the
Dolphins franchise since then, and
hes avoided the topic on Twitter.
Under new Dolphins General
Manager Dennis Hickey, the team
can move forward from this by
simply never allowing Martin and
Incognito to play for the team again.
Te Dolphins can let Incognito walk
because his contract is up. Mean-
while, the Dolphins would be wise to
release Martin, even though he has
two years lef on his contract. Martin
has been viewed as the victim, but
hes also allegedly sent threats to
Incognito.
Most incidents that occur in locker
room settings that get reported are
never
good.
For
the
Dol-
phins,
theyve
been in
hot water
because of
bullying and
harassment
by profession-
al athletes who
dont know how
to act like adults
in a professional
environment.
As for Pouncey and Jerry,
who are no longer enjoying the of-
season because of Ted Wells report,
it is up to Hickey as to whether or
not he thinks the two can move past
this and focus on turning around
Miami into a winning team.
Let this be a lesson to everyone in
a public workplace and not just the
NFL or any professional sports team.
Tere is no room for bullying and
harassment anywhere, especially in
a work setting. Te Miami Dolphins
found out the hard way. I can assure
you that the Dolphins will watch
their team closely and not let this
happen a second time.

Olympic athletes sympathize with Ukraine crisis
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Others tried to keep it from
him, but Dmytro Mytsak knew
what had happened before he
took to the slopes.
On a beautiful day in the
snowy Caucasus Mountains,
he had more to think about
than his frst Olympic ski
race. Back home in Ukraine,
his countrymen were dying
in fery clashes between police
and protesters.
I am very mad for this, but
we cannot do anything really.
Change the government,
Mytsak said. Every time in
the Olympics time, the war
was stopped, even if the wars
(were) between the other
countries. Tey were stopped.
And now in Ukraine, they are
going mad. I dont know what
to say.
Te thoughtful 18-year-old
had more to say than most.
He stood near the fnish line
Wednesday between runs of
the giant slalom, talking not
only about his wish for an
Olympic truce, but how hard it
was for his family back home.
I am talking every day to
them, Mytsak said. Tey
said, yeah it is not that bad
around in the city but in the
main city it is bad because they
want to clean the main street
from the people, but they will
not do this.
Te confict raging little
more than 600 miles from
Sochi couldnt help but
intrude into the games, and
not just because 43 athletes
from Ukraine are competing
here. Ukraine is a former
Soviet republic, and the close
ties the current leadership has
with Russia are a major part
of the dispute between anti-
government protesters and
President Viktor Yanukovych.
Ukraines Olympic
Committee asked that its
athletes be allowed to wear
black armbands honoring
those who died in the protest,
saying on its website that it
wants to share deep pain over
the loss of fellow countrymen
by displaying them as an
expression of sorrow and
sympathy.
Te IOC rejected that, saying
it was not allowed under the
Olympic Charter. And others
said the focus of the Olympics
should be solely on sports,
despite the fghting in Kiev
that lef at least 25 dead.
Tis is a competition, said
Yosyf Penyak, a parallel giant
slalom snowboarder from
Ukraine. No time to talk
about politics.
Former pole vault great
Sergei Bubka, who heads
the Ukrainian Olympic
Committee, urged both sides
to put down their weapons and
fnd a way to end the violence
that he said is bringing the
country to the brink of
catastrophe.
All of we have families at
home. Tis last night was
very tough because we follow
whats happened, Bubka
said in Sochi. It happens in
this moment when Olympic
Games are going on, the
most beautiful, and most
democratic and most peaceful
event. I would say everyone
is really worried, everyone
is really under pressure, but
they would like to continue
to compete to send a message
home to bring to dialogue all
parties.
IOC President Tomas Bach
also praised Ukrainian athletes
for keeping their focus.
It happens in this moment when Olympic Games are going on,

the most beautiful, and most democratic and most peaceful
event. I would say everyone is really worried.

QUESTION MARKS
Like Kansas, Texas only starts one
upperclassman and is one of the
youngest teams in the country.
The Longhorns lost their rst two
conference games but came back
to win their next seven and rise to
second place in the Big 12, where
they currently stand with a 9-4
conference record. Texas handed
Kansas its rst conference loss
this season on Feb. 1 in Austin.
Isaiah Taylor
The freshman was able to get to
the rim often in the teams rst
matchup. His penetration led to
eight free throws and was a big
reason half of Kansas active
players were in foul trouble.
How will Cameron Ridley
respond after his dud
against the Cyclones?
In the teams last two losses, Rid-
ley combined for just nine points
and was held without a eld in his
last game, a loss to Iowa State. He
was a big factor against the Jay-
hawks in Austin as he grabbed 10
rebounds and blocked four shots.
Ridley wont need to score a lot
of points against Kansas but will
need to make his presence known
down low.
40.7
Texas rebounding average in con-
ference play, rst in the Big 12
7
Texas grabbed seven more rebounds
than Kansas on Feb. 1 (44-37)
26
Texas went to the free-throw line
26 more times than Kansas
on Feb. 1 (45-19)
Kansas gets into foul trouble. Six
Jayhawks recorded at least four
fouls against Texas on Feb. 1 while
Andrew Wiggins fouled out. The
Jayhawks gave up a season-high
45 free-throw attempts to the
Longhorns, who took advantage
and made 30.

?
QUESTION MARKS

Naadir Tharpe, guard
The mental mistakes just keep coming with Tharpe. On Tuesday he made
careless turnovers by trying to drive and dish to the ball, but the ball would
get intercepted. Tharpe lost the dribble three times against Texas Tech,
which all led to six points. Tharpes scoring was off, too. He sank his rst
shot of the game, but kept trying to force shots afterward. If Kansas wants
a chance to beat Texas, then Tharpe will have to play an error-free game.

Wayne Selden, Jr., guard
The best shot of Seldens season came on Tuesday against Texas Tech. He
hit a 3-pointer with less than two minutes left to bring the decit to one.
That three was only the second three of the night for him, and Selden didnt
make a single free throw the whole game. When Selden gets to the free-
throw line then his scoring increases because his low scoring totals show
when he settles from long-range shots. Selden will have to stay physical
and aggressive against Texas.

Andrew Wiggins, guard
The Jayhawks were carried by Wiggins offensive and defensive play Tuesday
night. He found himself around the basket for offensive rebounds, which
won Kansas the game against Texas Tech. When Wiggins stays aggressive
and gets to the free-throw line, he will be hard to stop. Wiggins continues to
help the team in all areas, but if one had to make a critique, one would say
to stop shooting as many threes and drive to the basket more.

Perry Ellis, forward

The post-game scoring master didnt show up against Texas Tech. Ellis had
trouble staying on the oor Tuesday night because he kept getting beat to
the basket and was forced to foul. Ellis struggles with help-defense and
allows too many offensive rebounds. Everyone knew his game would have to
change when Embiid returned to the lineup, but no one thought Ellis would
only score four points after a 32-point game.
Joel Embiid, center

After coming back from the injury list, Embiid put up numbers that Jayhawk
fans are known to see. But, from watching the game, Embiid isnt back to
his normal self. On defensive, one could tell that his injuries were still both-
ering him because he was jumping to block shots in the paint. However, his
offensive game looked like the Embiid people are use to seeing. He showed
power by grabbing offensive rebounds, and he showed great footwork un-
derneath the basket. The injuries will show against Texas on Saturday when
Embiid has to face Texas physical big men that beat up on Embiid during
the previous meeting on Feb. 1.
STARTERS
Texas stomped on Kansas, 81-69
back on Feb. 1 in Austin, Texas,
but that was a game where the
Jayhawks shot a season-low 38
percent from the eld. Kansas will
get a chance to settle the score
this season at Allen Fieldhouse,
where they havent lost this sea-
son. If Kansas wins, the Jayhawks
will have a commanding three-
game lead in the Big 12 confer-
ence.
Naadir Tharpe

On Feb. 1 against Texas, Tharpe
had only three points, three as-
sists and two turnovers. His
assist-to-turnover ratio was not
good. Tharpe is on a two-game
cold streak and will need a pro-
ductive game to beat Texas. The
ability to win or lose the game is
in Tharpes hands. He will need to
gure out his turnover problems.
Can Wiggins continue his hot
streak and lead the Jayhawks
to a much-needed win?
The rst meeting between the
Longhorns and Jayhawks, Wig-
gins shot 2-12 from the eld and
nished with seven points. Since
that game, Wiggins is averaging
17 points per game and has gone
to the free throw line 41 times. If
Wiggins can keep up his scoring
production, then the Jayhawks will
be a hard team to beat.
4
Kansas has four players averaging
double-digits scoring this season.
208
Allen Fieldhouse has been sold
out for 208 consecutive
games and counting.
3
The Jayhawks are third in the
nation by shooting 50 percent
from the eld.
The Jayhawks box-out the Long-
horns on the defensive end and
dont allow Texas to grab offen-
sive rebounds. On Feb. 1, the
Longhorns out-rebounded the
Jayhawks 44-37, and Texas had
19 of its 44 rebounds on the of-
fensive glass. Kansas will need to
nish the defensive possession by
rebounding if they want a chance
to win Saturday.


Isaiah Taylor, guard
One of the leagues top freshmen, Taylor has been on a tear lately and has
averaged 19 points in his last seven games, including a 23-point perfor-
mance against Kansas in Austin, Texas. Taylor has been lights-out at the
free-throw line in this span, where he has made 47 of 50 attempts.
Demarcus Holland, guard

Holland leads the team playing 31 minutes a game and averages eight
points, ve rebounds and three assists. He tied a season-high against
Kansas in Austin with 11 rebounds. He scored just two points on four shot
attempts against Iowa State on Tuesday.

Javan Felix, guard

Felix averaged seven points during a three-game span a month ago. Since
then, he has averaged more than 20 points per game. The teams leader in
eld goal attempts, Felix launched a season-high 22 attempts (15 of them
3-pointers) against Iowa State but yielded just 16 points. He made just one
eld goal against Kansas in Austin.
Jonathan Holmes, forward

Like Taylor, Holmes averages 13.1 points a game, which leads the Long-
horns. The junior is athletic and can score from inside or outside. He had
one of his best games of the season against Kansas in Austin as he scored
22 points and went 9-10 from the foul line. Despite his Feb. 8 knee injury,
he has recovered nicely and scored in double gures in his last two games.
Cameron Ridley, center

Ridley was surprisingly held without a eld goal against an undersized Iowa
State squad in his last game and played a conference-low 16 minutes. Rid-
ley leads the team with 7.9 rebounds and 2.3 blocks a game, both of which
also rank in the top ve in the conference. He can also get to the foul line,
where he has attempted double-digit free throws in two of his last three
games.

Senior Paulina Los stretches out to return the ball to the other side of the court on Feb. 1, 2013. The Jay-
hawks were victorious against the Denver Pioneers on winning 4-3.
TENNIS
Jayhawks ascend in the
ranks, highest in 7 years
Te red-hot Kansas tennis
team is now sitting at No. 60
in the Intercollegiate Tennis
Association rankings, its
highest ranking in seven
years. It seems as though
the Jayhawks just cant be
stopped as they extended their
undefeated streak, beating
UT-Arlington and No. 66
Houston this past weekend.
Down in Texas, the
Jayhawks took the doubles
point for their ffh straight
match before entering doubles
play against Houston.
Tings got tough for the
girls when the Cougars won
the frst three singles matches
for the day. Kansas rallied,
however, and got wins from
senior Claire Dreyer and
junior Maria Belen Luduea
who tied the score up at 3-3.
On court six, Tina Rupert
of Houston retired from
the match during the super
tiebreaker to give senior
Paulina Los and the Jayhawks
a 4-3 victory.
Afer the hard-fought win
in Houston, the girls traveled
back to Lawrence to face the
UT-Arlington Mavericks.
Tere was less drama this
time around for Kansas, who
quickly stole the doubles
point with an 8-1 victory
from sophomore Maria Jose
Cardona and junior Luduea,
as well as an 8-3 win from
senior Los and freshman
Morgan Barnhill.
Te girls went on to dominate
singles play, winning three
straight matches to blank the
Mavericks 4-0.
Te Jayhawks will look
to extend their streak this
weekend when they face No.
39 Kentucky on Friday and
Eastern Kentucky on Saturday.
Eastern Kentucky is
currently 4-3 and has yet to
beat an ITA ranked team.
Te Colonels hope to end this
streak against No. 60 Kansas
this weekend.
Kentucky comes into
Saturdays match with a 9-2
record, with losses to No. 1
Duke and No. 36 Indiana. Te
Wildcats will turn to No. 56
nationally-ranked sophomore
Nadia Ravita to lead their
team against an extremely
hot Kansas team. Tis is the
frst time this season that
the Jayhawks will go a whole
weekend without home court
advantage.
Te next home match for
Kansas takes place at the
Jayhawk Tennis Center on
Feb. 28 against No. 54 Wichita
State.

Edmunds scores personal
best, shines on Sochi ice
It was one jump. One double
Axel performed in warm-
ups Wednesday night by San
Jose, Calif., teenager Polina
Edmunds that calmed down
everyone around her.
Coach David Glynn
immediately relaxed at the
Iceberg Skating Palace as the
spotlight blared down.
He gave the Archbishop
Mitty High sophomore a few
fnal words of encouragement
and then sent her of to meet
the world.
Edmunds said hello with a
lively 2-minute routine that
included three triple jumps
and that double Axel that took
a year to master when she was
10.
Crisp. Confdent. Cool.
Edmunds, 15, proved quickly
she isnt too fragile for her
sports grandest stage, scoring
a personal best 61.04 points
in the womens short program
to place seventh on the frst
day of one of the Olympics
centerpiece events.
Te American team will
enter Tursday nights free
skate in position to medal,
with current U.S. champion
Gracie Gold of Chicago in
fourth and Ashley Wagner of
Virginia in sixth.
Te Americans could not
have been more pleased with
the showing, but it probably
wont be good enough to earn
the countrys frst gold medal
since 2002.
It seems the crown still
belongs to the Queen _
Yuna Kim of South Korea.
Te airy performer won the
short program with a score
of 74.92 points in her attempt
to become the third woman
to win back-to-back Olympic
titles. Te others are legends
Sonja Henie of Norway and
Katarina Witt of Germany.
Kim, 23, heads into the
long program ahead of a
couple surprising names,
however. Adelina Sotnikova
of Russia is second with 74.64
points, followed by fve-time
European champion Carolina
Kostner of Italy with 74.12
points.
Te stunners: Russian
sensation Yulia Lipnitskaya is
ffh, and 2010 silver medalist
Mao Asada of Japan is 16th
afer a complete collapse.
Te breakdowns by such
big stars underscore how
formidable Edmunds
performed when it mattered
most.
To see her so comfortable
on Olympic ice shows her
strength of character, said
Glynn, who has coached
Edmunds since she was 4.
Now Edmunds hopes to
duplicate the efort Tursday
night in the 4-minute free
skate that is much more trying
on the nerves.
Winning a medal in her frst
Olympics has become an uphill
climb against skaters who
simply are more sophisticated
if not her technical equal.
Its all part of the growing
process for a skater who is seen
as Americas promising future.
Lipnitskaya also has some
growing to do. She entered
the cauldron with hometown
fans screaming her name just
before she began. She said later
it didnt bother her.
But it might have betrayed
her icy veins. Te 15-year-
old who won the womens
program of the new Olympic
team event looked like a medal
winner until falling on her
fnal jump, a triple fip. Te
judges gave Lipnitskaya 65.23
points, well below her personal
best.
Gold had a solid, if not
perfect, skate to earn 7.59
points more than Edmunds.
Tis is about throwing it out
there, that when you have a
shaky landing on a triple Lutz,
you stick that triple toes, Gold
said.
Wagner showed for the
second time in two weeks that
American skating ofcials
made the right decision
putting her on the Olympic
team afer she fnished fourth
at the nationals.
Te teams most veteran
skater was buoyant afer
practically racing out to the
center of the rink to begin her
program.
Ive been way too tired, way
too sweaty, way too exhausted
and angry with training to not
go out there and do it, Wagner
said.
Edmunds wanted to do what
she has done a million times
skate her two programs
cleanly.
She made her international
debut at the senior level
wearing an aureolin-colored
gown and a yellow ribbon in
her pulled-back blond hair.
Edmunds had the audience
clapping from the start of her
cha-cha medley that showcases
her playfulness on the ice.
Once that Latin music began,
she was just Polina.
I just hit the mode of
dancing, and by the time
I was getting ready for my
Lutz it was pretty automatic,
Edmunds said.
Te audience, well aware
her mother, Nina Edmunds,
is Russian, immediately began
clapping along.

sports@kansan.com
Coming of of a
c o mp e t i t i o n - p a c k e d
tournament, the Jayhawks
(4-4) are on the road
again this weekend for the
third straight weekend.
Destination: Jackson, Miss.
On the plate for Kansas are
four diferent teams over the
span of fve games.
First up is Southern Illinois
Uni versi t y-Edwardsvi l l e
(SIUE) (1-8). Kansas
will play the Cougars in
the opening game of the
tournament. Despite SIUEs
record, the team has played
some big-name programs,
such as Oklahoma State, LSU,
Minnesota, Michigan State,
Oklahoma, Washington and
Arizona State. Te last time
SIUE and Kansas met was
back in 2010. SIUE won that
matchup 5-2. SIUE is the
only team that Kansas faces
twice, as the Jayhawks take
on the Cougars on the frst
day of tournament play and
the last.
Afer the frst SIUE game,
Kansas takes on the Lions
of Southeastern Louisiana
(SLU) (2-2). SLU has been
plagued by inclimate weather
as six of its games have
been canceled already this
season. Te last time Kansas
played SLU was in 2012.
Te Jayhawks routed the
Lions 11-0, playing only 4
innings.
Opening up the second
day of play for Kansas is
Eastern Illinois University
(6-4). Te Panthers are on
a two-game winning streak,
demolishing Grambling State
20-2 and clinching a win
over Houston Baptist 4-3 this
past weekend. Kansas hasnt
played Eastern Illinois since
2009 when Kansas hosted the
Panthers. Kansas came away
with the win that year 4-2.
Kansas takes on the host
of the tournament in the
second game on the second
day of play. Jackson State
(4-6) is coming of a split
doubleheader against
Belhaven last weekend.
Jackson State took the win
in the frst game 4-3, while
losing the second game 0-1.
Kansas played Jackson State
in 2012, winning 5-3.

Russia makes unexpected
hockey exit against Finland
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOCHI, Russia A
hockey team loses. A nation
mourns, curses and cries.
Russias mens hockey
team sufered a 3-1 loss
to Finland on Wednesday
in the quarterfnals of the
2014 Winter Olympics
tournament, eliminating the
host country from medal
contention.
For some Russians,
these Winter Games
were about nothing but
hockey. Forward Alexander
Ovechkin half-jokingly
said last week that winning
the Gold Medal was worth
about $50 billion _ the
estimated cost of the entire
Winter Games.
It sucks. What can I say?
Ovechkin, who plays for the
National Hockey Leagues
Washington Capitals,
said afer the defeat. No
emotions right now.
He added: We fought
until the end to score, but
it just hasnt worked for us.
We lost our Olympic games.
Tere is no one to blame.
Te all-star-packed
Russian team was under
severe pressure _ from the
Kremlin to the cabbie in
the street _ to win gold
and nothing less. But the
team struggled in almost
all its games, managing
nail-biting victories against
less-talented Slovenia and
Slovakia. Tey beat Norway
in a cakewalk and lost to the
United States last Sunday in
a dramatic shootout.
Russia never appeared to
get its high-scoring game
together despite talented
snipers like forwards
Ovechkin, Pavel Datsyuk
of the Detroit Red Wings,
and Evgeni Malkin of the
Pittsburgh Penguins.
Te Russian players
insisted they felt no pressure
playing before their hockey-
crazed president and
hockey-mad fans, many
of whom were banking on
Olympic Gold to exorcise
the ghosts of the American
Miracle on Ice at the 1980
Lake Placid Winter Games
and the 1972 Super Series
against a Canadian team of
National Hockey League
superstars.
Andrew Kuchins, director
of the Russia and Eurasia
Program at Washingtons
Center for Strategic and
International Studies, said
the hockey teams defeat will
disappoint many Russians
but shouldnt impact what
many Russians feel have
been a successful Winter
Games for the country.
It takes some of the
luster of, for sure, Kuchins
said. Despite (President
Vladimir) Putin being a
hockey fan himself, the
larger goal was a successful
Olympic games. And I think
its come of pretty well.
At a Russian bar in
Krasnaya Polyana, the game
was played on a huge screen.
A hockey goal sat in the
middle of the dance foor
and patrons spent the time
between periods shooting
tennis balls into the net or
playing table hockey. Most
in the crowd were draped
in Russian fags or had their
faces painted red, blue and
white.
Its very disappointing
for us, said a stunned Igor
Maltinskii afer he watched
the game at the bar. We
thought our team would be
in the fnal game. It was very
important to all the people
who came to Sochi and
everybody in the country.
A Bolshoy Ice Dome
that was deafeningly loud
before the puck dropped
Wednesday afernoon was
eerily quiet at games end.
Russian players and silver-
haired head coach Zinetula
Bilyaletdinov had ashen
faces and stared blankly
as the Finnish players
celebrated their upset
victory.
I just feel empty,
disappointed and empty
inside, said Russian
goaltender Sergei
Bobrovsky, who held
Finland scoreless afer he
replaced Semyon Varlamov
in goal afer he surrendered
all three Finnish goals on
15 shots in the games frst
26 minutes. Its hard to say
whether this is a maximal
or minimal failure. Failure
is failure. How can you
measure it?
Te games outcome
was maximum joy for
Team Finland, which was
banking on playing a tired
and emotionally drained
Russian team that had
played four games in fve
nights.
We had nothing to lose.
We were not supposed to
win, said Finland forward
Teemu Selanne, who scored
his teams second goal to
break a 1-1 tie in the frst
period. Tey had all the
pressure. I think they were
out of gas a little bit, and
we tried to take advantage
of that, and the game plan
worked.
Selannis tally and goals
by Juhamatti Aaltonen and
Mikael Granlund were all
that Finnish goaltender
Tuukka Rask needed to
beat Russia. Former NHL
forward Ilya Kovalchuk
scored Russias lone goal.

pointed and empty inside.

is a maximal or minimal
failure. Failure is failure.
