City Commission candidates

weigh in on KU student issues

@dmantheman2011
The Kansan asked the city

commissioner candidates the
following question: What issue
or issues do you think KU students should be paying attention to in the campaign?
LESLIE SODEN
There are three issues in particular I think that students
might be interested in:
- Fiber optic Internet service.
I would like to see the city explore offering it as a standard
utility, like water/trash/sewer
utilities.
- Safe rental housing for all
students, regardless of income.
- Public safety issues for
example, keeping people out of
the criminal justice system for
minor non-violent infractions.
STAN RASMUSSEN
I can think of three important issues potentially affecting
students at KU.
Because nearly all students
live in an apartment or other
rental property, I think they
should be watching how the
new rental inspection program
is being implemented by the
city and how the candidates
Boley
Herbert
Rasmussen
Soden
Schumm
are discussing this issue.
The sales tax, which supports
the bus service, will expire in
four years. I think students
who use the bus service should
be paying attention to what
candidates are saying about
that issue.
Adding bike lanes, expanding the trail network and
making our community more
walkable is another issue that
can have direct impact on students. What are the candidates
saying about this issue?
STUART BOLEY
University students should
be concerned about the government of the city where you
spend at least nine months of
the year. The Lawrence City
Commission establishes the
tax levy, which all students pay
while [they] are in Lawrence.
If [they] rent, [they] pay the
property tax through their
rent. And every time you purchase anything in Lawrence,
you pay the sales tax, a significant portion of which is levied
by the city. Students should be
confident [their] tax dollars
MATTHEW HERBERT
As a college student living
on a fixed budget, you need
to keep close watch on your\
city commission and the ways
in which they hit you in your
wallet. Oftentimes, [because]
college students are not business owners or property owners, nor are they in a position
to be big financial donors to
campaigns, their needs can be
widely ignored by candidates.
KU students need to find out
which candidates are serving
a handful of developers and
which candidates are actually
aiming to serve the community as a whole.
BOB SCHUMM
We recently passed a rental
registration ordinance that
will allow for mandatory inspections of apartments and
rental houses to insure that the
life safety parts of our code are
being followed. That will allow
for a higher level of safety for
our student population.
City Commissioner and candidate Dr. Terry Riordan did
not reply prior to press time.

An email survey will soon
be sent to 5,000 KU students
as a part of the National
College Health Assessment.
Jenny McKee is a Watkins
health services educator and
will head the distribution of
the email.
McKee is hopeful that the
University will show lower
numbers this time around
and is weary of the title of
most hungover city. The
following is an excerpt from
a Q&A with her.
MCKEE: I would hope to

not see an increase in our
individuals
who
report
excessive use of five or more
drinks in one sitting. I also
would like to see an increase
in the number of protective
behaviors
our
students
utilize. So if they are going to
choose to use [alcohol], they
are also going to be doing
things to prevent them from
having any high risk of bad
things happening. When
we talk about protective
behaviors, we talk about
going out with friends and
staying with them, keeping
track of the number of drinks
you have and limiting the
amount of drinks you have
so you dont have a very high
blood alcohol concentration.

KANSAN: Do you believe that

the overall use of alcohol
will drop according to this
survey?
MCKEE: I think it is very
likely that we will see a
decrease in some of the
numbers. I think that there
are some really great passive
campaigns right now and
active campaigns especially
with bystander intervention
programs like the Step Up
Campaign that is from the
office of the Vice Provost of
Student Affairs. It talks about
students stepping in when
anything happens, which
could be as easy as when you
see a friend that has overserved themselves and being
like, Hey, why dont we go
home and order some pizza,
or just doing something else
to help someone if they need
it.
or perhaps just a decrease in

your GPA that is caused by
not going to class because you
were drinking. These things
do matter. Being named the
most hungover city in the
U.S. is not a point of pride;
it is something we should be
embarrassed about. It might
be my biggest worry that our
students do not understand
the experience we are
privileged to have at KU if
not taken a little bit more
seriously, might be missed.
The stuff that happens here
does matter. This is not a fiveyear party. This is real life
with training wheels because
regardless if you are ready,
they are coming off when you
graduate.
KANSAN: What worries you

most about alcohol use by
KU students?
KANSAN: On the topic of the

hangover story, what was
your initial reaction to that
title?
MCKEE: Over winter break,

the city of Lawrence was
named the most hungover
city
in
America
and
unfortunately many of our
students have taken that
as a source of pride. Even
last night (March 25), I was
giving a presentation to
about 380 female students,
and when I mentioned that
[the title of most hungover
city,] they were like woo,
yeah, that is awesome, and
that seems like a very myopic
point of view to have.
What worries me is that,
especially our first- and
second-year students, but all
students in general, is they
are not putting as much value
into their college experience.
They are not understanding
that what you do as college
students stays with you
forever, whether that be an
image of you on social media
that will never go away once

MCKEE: I thought of when

I graduated from KU with
both my undergraduate
degree and my masters
degree. When I put my
resume out there to
potential employers, they
were impressed I graduated
from KU. I dont want that
to go away. This is not a
notorious party school. My
worry is that if we relish that
honor too much, we buy
into it and start behaving
in that capacity, its going to
mean something different
to have a degree from KU.
KANSAN: We previously
discussed the deaths of
Jason Wren and other KU
students who have died from
drinking. Why is it that KU
as a community forgets so
quickly about these deaths?
MCKEE: I think that for the
large part, even when people
seeing people achieve 0.3 or

above more frequently, which
is crazy. When people are
constantly pushing the limits,
and with seemingly not a
death or no immediate severe
consequences, they are going
to keep going down that road.

denial. A lot of people want
to deny the frugality of their
own life. This is an incredibly
exciting part of life. You are
preparing for the rest of your
life. It is difficult to think that

given weekend, honestly.
When we have people who
are pushing those limits, there
are plenty of people who go
to the hospital with very high
blood alcohol concentrations.
It used to be that 50 percent
of people who went to the
hospital with blood alcohol
concentrations of 0.3 or
above would die. Now we are
KANSAN: What would you

like to see the University do
in collaboration with the
city of Lawrence to help fix
the over-drinking culture in
Lawrence?
MCKEE: Pie in the sky, I
would love to live in a city
where our young people
were not taken advantage of.
It is astounding to me that a
place can continue to exploit
young people by knowingly
serving underage individuals.
I would love to see that stop
but I doubt it would happen.
What I think it would be

more possible if the people
in the city and the people at
KU could at least get together
and talk about possible policy
changes that could make
our campus safer and the
community. Not just for KU
students but for everybody
and just understand that
having a working relationship
is not a competitive thing.
Alcohol abuse is not a KU
specific problem and it is not
something that KU people
have to own, it is something
that our entire Lawrence
community needs to own. To
say that it is not a Lawrence
issue and only a KU issue and
the vice versa is unrealistic.
We need people to just get
around the table and say what
kinds of policy changes are
possible.

First meeting on Ninth Street Corridor set for April 8

KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley
The
first
community
engagement
meeting
to
discuss how the Ninth Street
Corridor Project can best
cater to the community will
take place next week.
The meeting will be April
8 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at New
York Elementary School at
936 New York St. and is open
to the public.
The area on Ninth Street
between
Delaware
and
Massachusetts streets will get
a facelift after the Art Center
received an ArtPlace America
Grant in June 2014 to revive
the Ninth Street corridor.
The firm, El Dorado Inc.,
is heading the project, and
project lead Josh Shelton said
this is a perfect opportunity to
weave art into infrastructure.
We have the unique

opportunity to integrate art
into the infrastructure of the
street improvement, Shelton
said. We have the unique
opportunity to work with
Tristan Surtees and Charles
Blanc with Sans Faon.
They have good experience
working with municipalities
and working with these art
and infrastructure projects.
Shelton said he and the Sans
Faon firm from Canada are
focused on learning about the
people of Lawrence before
making decisive plans.
Theyre focused on social
engagement and theyre
curious about Lawrence
and East Lawrence, Shelton
said. Were interested to
understand the role this
project will become. Their
practice seeks to understand
a place and the people of a
place before the art emerges.

They
dont
bring
any
preconceived notions and
neither do we.
The City of Lawrence added
$3 million to the $500,000
grant awarded to the Art
Center. The project area
will see implementation
of new infrastructures and
improvements to the roads
and sidewalks.
Chair of the Lawrence
Cultural Arts Commission
and member of the citizen
advisory
committee
for
the Ninth Street Corridor
Katherine Simmons said the
grant money is specifically
for reviving the streetscape,
which could lead to more
growth in that area.
That
doesnt
involve
any arts-based business or
anything like that; that would
perhaps happen naturally
on its own, she said. This

project is only relevant to that
actual streetscape.
To ensure the community
is mirrored in the project, El
Dorado Inc. put together a
citizen advisory committee.
It will have its first open
meeting April 8, and meetings
will span through November.
The first meeting will be
presented by architecture
and landscaping firm Coen +
Partners from Minneapolis,
who will be working with
local civil engineering firm
Bartlett & West. The second
meeting, April 9, will be with
Sans Faon and El Dorado
Inc. A full list of meetings
can be found on the City of
Lawrence website.
I think the nature of the
workshop will be input from
the public and the people
that live in the neighborhood
to better understand the

dynamics that surround
Ninth Street Project, Shelton
said.
The City of Lawrence posted
a PDF on its site that reads in
part, The project will create
a multi-modal connection
utilizing accessible complete
streets concepts, upgraded
amenities, and a new model
of
urban
infrastructure
that will enable local artists
to engage our community
in ways inspired by the
revolutionary and counterculture spirit of Lawrence and
our favorite iconoclasts John
Brown, Langston Hughes,
and William S. Burroughs.
Shelton said while the City
of Lawrence would likely hope
to connect East Lawrence to
downtown Lawrence, hes
talked to many community
members whod rather see
a more community-based
project.
Theres a diverse set of
perspectives on how the
corridor should function
and what role it should play
in Lawrence, he said. Ive
talked to a lot Lawrence
residents whod like to see it as
a community asset. It might
be a quiet, more communitybased asset where kids could
play or people could meet.
The implementation date is
set for late 2015 or early 2016,
and Shelton said moving
forward, theyll be taking it
step-by-step.
We have to look at whats
appropriate for Ninth Street,
block by block, he said. Its
going to have to be a very sitespecific and sensitive project
for the urban context.

University to offer more intersession courses

SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolNews
The University is working

to offer more accelerated
intersession classes, or fourweek courses over winter or
summer break, following the
success of these courses over
the last two years.
The William Allen White
School of Journalism has been
the primary stakeholder
in
intersession
courses,
said Julie Loats, director
of the Center for Online
and
Distance
Learning.
Now she is working toward
incorporating more subjects.

The
more
central
discussion started about
two years ago in trying to
build a broader portfolio of
courses and to do promotion
and communication about
those courses so everybody
knows that this is an option
instead of it being a very
decentralized departmentby-department
type
of
strategy, Loats said.
Loats said the intersession
courses
offered
online
provide
flexibility
for
students who want to get a
head start on graduation.
The idea is that our winter

break is relatively long and so
students [are] able to utilize
that time theyre otherwise
not taking a course to make
progress toward the degree,
Loats said.
The journalism school
began offering intersession
courses during winter of the
2013-14 school year. Because
of the shorter time period,
these classes were more
theoretical and fact-based,
like Ethics and Professional
Practice, instead of practicebased courses. Most of them
were required for a degree.
According to a University
press release, many more
students
than
expected
expressed interest in the
shorter-term courses.
What weve seen is far more
demand for the minimester
than can be accommodated,
journalism Dean Ann Brill
said in the press release. Our
students have appreciated
the opportunity to complete
some of their core courses
online, and our faculty have
enjoyed shaping their courses
for a more intense learning
environment.
Although Loats said the
courses offer flexibility, she

also said the courses are just
as difficult as a typical 16week course during a fall or
spring semester.
Loats wants to change
the perception that online
courses or shortened courses
are easy.
Theyre not really selfpaced in that theres a sense
of community in those
courses and [professors get]
students to interact with
other students, Loats said.
You really have to work on a
four-week course every day.

Citizens are not represented by politicians

Sebastian Schoneich
@ThingsSebiThink
ve always been cynical

about our politicians
supposed adherence
to their professional
mandate: that of serving
as representatives of the
people over whom they
politically preside. It is rare
for me to ever think, This
politician is truly interested
in accurately representing
the will of the people. In
fact, I find myself thinking
the exact opposite on a
regular basis. Pick up the
newspaper on any day and
there is bound to be some
political headline that is
worthy of a dejected sigh.
Politicians fail to
accurately represent us for
several reasons. The first
and foremost problem in
American politics is that
political decisions boil
down to A versus B Left
versus Right, Democrats
versus Republicans. Since
when have there only been
two sides to an issue?

Preventing a broader and
healthier discussion about
political issues is a major
structural failure of our
political system. I would
even say that our political
freedoms are tightly
restricted (i.e., we dont
have political freedom) by
the unshakable nature of
the two-party system. On
the voting ballot, we are
essentially given only two
options to choose from
because, at the end of the
day, the two existing parties
are so historically well set
that only a major political
revolution could change the
system.
This powerful two-party
system prevents accurate
representation of the
people because it offers
merely two choices for
political representation. Id
say that most Americans
do not even agree with
their politicians on many
issues, yet they vote for
them simply because they
are forced to choose the

better of only two lessthan-optimal parties. I
say this because I find it
impossible to believe that
all those who vote for
Democrats uphold all of
the Democratic platforms
stances, and the same
for the GOP. If you like
chocolate/vanilla marble
cake, but the cake store only
offers a chocolate/caramel
combo and a lemon/vanilla
combo, at the end of the
day you give up and pick
the chocolate one because
you like chocolate slightly
more than vanilla. This is
no commendable sign for
American politics.
Another reason our
representatives dont
accurately represent
us lies in money big
money. Though not often
empirically provable,
it is well known that
politicians frequently
exchange political favors
for monetary support. In
Washington D.C., this is
called lobbying. How sad

is it that the 320 million
people of this country have
not pushed for political
reform in order to prevent
the massive influence that
money (the one percent)
has on politics? One reason
is that big money does
its best to prevent such
a political change from
happening. Ironic, right?
Finally, we are never well
represented because our
citizens are rarely asked for
their opinions on political
matters. In Switzerland,
citizens are allowed to
demand for binding
referendums at all levels of
government as long as they
collect enough signatures
to do so. This results in
their frequent participation
in voting on political
issues. What a wonderfully
democratic and fair system,
in which citizens opinions
matter more than in most
other countries. If only the
U.S. had something similar
but it constitutionally
does not. Sure, we are

allowed to write to our
representatives petitioning
for this and that, but how
often does that actually do
anything?
So, how might we go
about changing the system?
Well, long story short,
we need to talk loudly
about these problems and
hope for change through
generational shift in a
notoriously stubborn
profession. Although it
is true that this country
provides for many
freedoms that are elsewhere
impossible to obtain, its
political system does a
terrible job of living up to
its supposed democratic
ideals. It is structurally not
fit for accurately reflecting
the will of the people,
and that weak structure
allows for the invasion of
unwanted opportunists.

Users of the popular

transportation app Uber
received an email from Uber
Kansas on Monday evening
urging users to contact their
legislators to save the service
in Kansas. Lawmakers are
hoping to enforce stricter
regulations on the company,
which to some peoples
disappointment may force
the GPS app out of the state.
If the proposed bill SB
117 passes, it would require
background checks on the
drivers, regular inspections
of cars and insurance for all
transportation companies.
Additionally, the bill would
charge drivers $250. But if
Uber pays an annual fee of
$10,000, [then] the driver
permit will only cost $150,

as reported by Fox4KC.
The bill has caused a bit of
a stir in the state with drivers
and users voicing their
opposition to the proposed
regulations last Thursday.
UberX users, in a testimony
on Thursday, praised the
service as superior to regular
taxis and said it lets them
live in Kansas City and get
around town easily without
a car.
But The Kansas City
Star reported Regulated
Industries Division Manager
Jim Ready had investigators
randomly check 16 Uber
drivers during the Big 12
Tournament, finding that
none had the required
certification, and 10 of those
drivers said they would take
cash rather than a credit
card payment through the
UberX smartphone app,
which is illegal.
If Uber users and drivers
wish to continue services in
Kansas, they must adhere
to the regulations proposed
by
Kansas
legislators.

When relying on a random

individual to drive you
and your friends or family
around town, I would hope
that you realize your life
is, quite literally, in this
drivers hands. Without
proper background checks,
insurance or car inspections,
a plethora of issues could go
wrong: your driver could
turn out to be a lunatic
intentionally endangering
your life; your driver
could sexually assault or
harass you; the brakes in
the drivers car could stop
working and they failed to
realize that due to the lack
of a vehicle inspection. For
all these incidents, though
worst-case scenarios, you
would be held completely
responsible, not Uber.
CBS News reports several
instances of Uber drivers
being accused of sexually
assaulting or harassing
their riders. Some examples
include a woman in New
Delhi accusing her driver
of rape, and an Uber driver
in Chicago being arrested

The main problem with
those opposing stricter
regulations for Uber is that
if you relax the rules for
Uber, then you must subject
all transportation services
in Kansas to these same
standards. You cant pick and
choose which companies
follow these regulations.
However, if all taxi/driving
companies werent required
to have background checks,
proper insurance or vehicle
inspections, then many more
riders lives could potentially
be in danger, intentional
or not. If Uber chooses to
pull out of Kansas because
they cant pay fees or deal
with extra hurdles that are
necessary for their drivers,
then I say good riddance.
Rely on different modes of
transportation, as there are
plenty of other services that
are more dependable.

Lauryn Hills album basically flawless

RYAN WRIGHT
@ryanwaynewright
Every year, the Library
of Congress selects 25
recordings to add to its
recording registry. The
Library bases its selections
on whether a recording is
culturally, historically or
aesthetically
significant.
One of the recordings
chosen this year is Lauryn
Hills 1998 album, The
Miseducation of Lauryn
Hill.
After the Fugees split in
1997, Hill embarked on a
solo career. A year later,
she released her first and
only studio album, The
Hill.
To put it simply, the album
is an absolute joy to listen to.
Every song is well-produced,
well-sung and well-rapped.
The album as a whole is
generally well crafted.
Throughout the album,
Hill touches on many
different themes such as
love, fame and religion.
However, one of the most
touching songs on the
album comes on the fourth
song, To Zion.
Hill tells the story of her
pregnancy with her first
child, Zion. Many people
told her to rethink having
the baby and encouraged
her to get an abortion. Hill

eventually gave birth and
her son became the greatest
thing to ever happen to her.
The sheer amount of
passion Hill puts into
the vocals of this song
is incredible, and the
seriousness of this topic gets
across to the listener. You
can hear the sadness in her
voice as she sings about how
people told her to rethink
her pregnancy, but you can
also hear the joy she found
after she gave birth.
Hill
isnt
only
a
talented singer, but also a
phenomenal rapper. She
can hold her own on the
mic with just about any
emcee. Most of the album

is a mixture of Hill singing
and rapping, but there are
a few tracks, such as Lost
Ones and Final Hour
that feature Hills profound
technical rapping ability.
The production on the
album is equally fantastic.
It
features
traditionalsounding hip-hop beats,
but it also has production
that
features
live
instrumentation, such as
harp, trombone and flute.
One little-known fact is
the 13th track, Everything
is Everything, includes
background piano from
John Legend, who was
virtually unknown at the
time.
Theres a reason this album
became the first hip-hop
album to win Album of
the Year at the Grammys
in 1999. It also earned Hill
the Grammys for best new
artist, best female R&B vocal
performance, best R&B song
and best R&B album that
year. Its basically flawless,
even 17 years later.
Many would say The
Hill is one of the greatest
albums by a female hip-hop
artist, but its more than
that. Its one of the greatest
albums released by any
artist. Period.

ay Z might just have the

right idea. He unveiled
his new high-quality music streaming service, Tidal,
with the intent to change the
way the world consumes music, and he has an impressive
list of top-tier musicians, a
snazzy marketing campaign
and audiophiles on his side.
The long-time rapper and
businessman enlisted his
wife, Beyonc, Kanye West, J.
Cole, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna,
Jack White, Alicia Keys,
Daft Punk, Coldplay, Jason
Aldean and even Madonna
to the announcement in
New York City on Monday
afternoon.
But before they took the
stage, they had already begun
an epic marketing campaign
to their millions of followers.
Each of the 16 artists at the
announcement along with
some others including Jaden
Smith changed their Twitter and Facebook pictures
to a solid aqua square in
support of the service, which
is owned by Norwegian
music tech company Aspiro.
The impressive reach of the
new service includes the over
13 million followers, thanks
to Beyonc, and another 11
million from Kanye West.
Heres the catch: Its going
to cost users at least $10
a month. Annually, that
$120 will essentially get the
consumer what they can find
on Spotify, along with some
BRAD BARKET/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jay Z performs at the Third Global Citizen Festival at Central Park in New York on Sept. 27, 2014. Madonna, Rihanna, Beyonc and Jay Z are among the
A-List musicians who are co-owners of the streaming service Tidal. Kanye West, Daft Punk, Alicia Keys, Jack White and Nicki Minaj also announced that they
are co-owners of the streaming service at an event on March 30 in New York City.
promised exclusive content

and curated playlists, which
will presumably come from
artists themselves. (Jason
Aldean and Coldplay have
made their own that they released with the initial drop.)
The high-end option $20
a month is more interesting though, especially for
audiophiles. With this, the
listener will get lossless
audio at 1,411 kBps, which
is more than four times
what Spotify (325 kBps) and
iTunes (256 kBps) streaming
services can offer.
Each founding artist
the ones standing on stage
Monday were offered
a 3-percent share in the
company in exchange for

exclusive content, according
to Billboard. Jay Z bought
Aspiro earlier this year for
$56 million just a couple of
months after it had started.
Though the companys
declaration says its an artist
majority owned company,
outside of the 3-percent
share, its not exactly certain
what artists are getting from
the service by jumping in
early. Though Jay Z has promoted transparency through
his campaign for Tidal, there
are still a lot of questions
to be asked of the service,
which will rival Spotify.
Regardless, this move
makes sense for music. The
streaming industry is still an

untapped goldmine, despite
what Spotify has already
been able to accomplish. But
artists arent getting their fair
share, theres no doubt about
that.
Although the mere handful
of artists who are starting this movement dont
exactly need the money from
streaming, its easy to believe
this is about more than
themselves or their money in
the move to Tidal. Its about
more than just these 16
founders, even if its a money
grab; theyre trying to save
art in music form.
(If)the very least we did
was make people wake up
and try to improve the free

versus paid system, and promote fair trade, then it would
be a win for us anyway, Jay Z
told Billboard in an exclusive
interview.
But as Jay Z also said in the
same interview, some people
are paying $6 for water
when they can get it for free
straight out of the tap. Some
may see music in the same
light in todays society. If
they can keep streaming for
free on Spotify or elsewhere
online, the only question the
music world will have left is,
Why pay?

Cynthia Lennon, first wife of

John Lennon, dies of cancer
GREGORY KATZ
Associated Press
SUDOKU
CRYPTOQUIP
LONDON Cynthia
Lennon, the first wife of
former Beatles guitarist
John Lennon, died of cancer
Wednesday at her home in
Spain. She was 75.
Her death was announced
on the website and Twitter
account of her son, Julian
Lennon, and confirmed by
his representative.
Julian Lennon posted a
moving video tribute to his
late mother with a song he
had written in her honor.
You gave your life for me,
you gave your life for love,
it begins, showing footage of
him as a young boy with his
parents. It also shows footage
of Cynthia with John during
the early days of Beatlemania.
The love you left behind
will carry on, Julian, 51,
sings in a style influenced by
his late father.
It concludes with the
words: I know youre safe
above.
A statement from Julians
representative said Cynthia
died at her home in Mallorca
following a short but brave
battle with cancer. It said
Julian was at his mothers
bedside throughout.
Cynthia and John Lennon
met at art school in Liverpool
in 1957 and married shortly
before the Beatles shot to
worldwide fame. Julian was
their only child together.
The couple divorced in
1968 after John Lennon
started his much publicized
relationship with Japanese
artist Yoko Ono. They had
spent 10 years together as a
couple.
Cynthia remarried several
times.
The divorce prompted
Paul McCartney to pen the
Beatles classic Hey Jude
to help Julian cope with
his parents separation. He
changed the name Julian to
Jude in the song.
The line Take a sad
song and make it better, is
about the Lennons broken
marriage and its impact on
their son.
The news of Cynthias
passing is very sad,
McCartney wrote on his blog
Wednesday.
She was a lovely lady who
Ive known since our early
days together in Liverpool,
he added. She was a good
mother to Julian and will be
missed by us all, but I will
always have great memories
of our times together.
Peace and love to Julian
Lennon God bless Cynthia
love Ringo and Barbaraxx,
Ringo Starr tweeted.
Ono wrote on Facebook
that she was saddened by
Lennons death.
She was a great person
and a wonderful mother to
Julian, she wrote.
Author Hunter Davies,
who wrote the only
authorized Beatles biography
in 1968, described Cynthia
as a lovely woman who
was ill-treated by her famous
husband.
He said she wasnt at all like
her husband, but was quiet
and reserved and calm and
not a hippy at all.
He said their friends at
art school never thought
the relationship would
last because they were so
different.
In her autobiography,
Cynthia described John as
jealous and insecure. She
said he hit her once after she
danced with Stu Sutcliffe,
then a member of the band.
But in a 2005 interview
with
Good
Morning
America she recalled his
charisma as well.
You couldnt resist being
around him, she said. You
couldnt resist watching what
he was up to. I mean, he was
a total rebel. Everybody was
amazed by him.

THE DAILY DEBATE

Who has been the best golfer this season for the Jayhawks?
Nick Couzin
@NCouz
BEN WELLE
The Kansas mens golf
team is starting to build up
a huge slate of victories after
taking the crown in the
Desert Shootout in Arizona
over spring break.
One golfer who has really
stood out this season and
has had particular success
on the fairways and on the
greens is junior Ben Welle
from Moorhead, Minn.
Before he came to Kansas
to play golf, he attended
Scottsdale Community
College in Arizona and
played on their team.
There he learned to
perfect his game by playing
on some of the toughest
courses that college golfers,
even pros on the PGA Tour,
have played on, so Ben
already came in with the
experience of playing tough
golf.
This year, he exploded

on the scene of excellence,
sitting at the top of most
matches. His best finish in
the spring season was in the
Desert Shootout where he
finished with a three-round
total score of 211 (72, 68,
71). He did one better in the
fall at the Prices Give Em
Five Invitational, where he
had a season best score of
206 (67, 69, 70).
Welle is second on the
team with rounds even or
under par with 13. He had
nine under par rounds and
four at even par. Welle has
competed in every match
this season. In the nine
tournaments Welle has
played in, he has been the
top individual finisher
on the team in three of
them. Coach Jamie Bermel
commented on Welles play
this season.
Ben has been very steady
all year, Bermel said. Had
some good finishes in the
fall, and seems to be playing
fairly well as of late. He
has played in all the events
this year, along with Chase
Hanna.
You cant go wrong with
this pick if Welle has his
coach behind him. Bermel
has enough confidence in
his game to continue to put

him in every match, and
thats what really makes
Welle stand out.
THIS YEAR, HE
EXPLODED ON THE
SCENE OF
EXCELLENCE,
SITTING AT THE TOP
OF MOST
MATCHES.
Welle holds the second
spot on the team five rounds
in the 60s, where if a golfer
scores in the 60s when the
round is over he usually
finishes under par. Welles
top individual finish was
tied for eighth, when the
team won the tournament
outright. Ben Welle has
been the best golfer so far
for the Jayhawks. As of late,
he and Chase Hanna are the
hottest golfers on the team,
so there is no better choice
than to go with him.

BROCK DROGOSCH
Coach Jamie Bermel has
begun his long trek with
his team to make an NCAA
Tournament, something
that has been anything but
a regular occurrence for the
KU mens golf team.
To be an effective team, as
Bermel preaches, you need
five guys who are going to
shoot low scores day in and
day out. But you also need
those top guys who are
going to consistently deliver
top performances.
Chase Hanna and Ben
Welle are without a doubt
the two most tested and
talented golfers on the team,
but two men do not make a
competitive team. The best
golfer on the KU mens golf
team has been that because
hes stepped up in a spot
that needed filling, and one
that has gelled the whole
team together, as evidenced

by their win at the Desert
Shootout, their first event
win in two years.
Brock Drogosch, a redshirt
freshman from Windermere,
Fla., has already played in
U.S. amateur tournaments
and distinguished himself
as an exceptional golfer and
student in high school. In
his first full year of college
golf, hes been a perfect fit on
Bermels card. In 18 rounds,
he averages 72.6, has shot
three rounds in the 60s, and
has had eight rounds under
par. All of those marks are
second to Hanna and Welle.
Drogosch finished tied
for second in the Desert
Shootout. He never shot
above a 71, and just an
overall 10 under par. That
performance propelled
the Jayhawks to their first
tournament win since 2013,
and Bermel was not shy
with his praise of the young
golfer.
Bermel has praised
Drogoschs strength
and conditioning, the
smoothness of his swing and
his development in just two
years of collegiate golf. In
fact, youd be hard-pressed
to ask Bermel a question
about who is the most
important golfer on the team

and not hear Drogoschs
name.
IN 18 ROUNDS,
HE AVERAGES 72.6,
HAS SHOT THREE
ROUNDS IN THE
60S AND HAS HAD
EIGHT ROUNDS
UNDER PAR.
While Drogosch is not the

most talented, experienced
or recognizable, a golf team
doesnt revolve around two
people. In order to have a
successful team, you need
a full platoon of guys who
are confident and shooting
well. When Drogosch plays
better, the whole team plays
better. Drogoschs two lowest
rounds have come in two of
Kansas three best finishes.
He may not be the
most talented or the
most experienced, but
hes certainly the most
important.

THE MORNING BREW
QUOTE OF THE DAY
It gives you full freedom... it doesnt

back you into a corner going into the
draft. You can go in and you can take
the best player.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid during
the NFL Annual Meeting
FACT OF THE DAY
The Kansas City Chiefs have not

selected a wide receiver in the first
round of the NFL draft in more than
four years.
ESPN.com
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: When was the last time the

Chiefs drafted a wide receiver in
the first round of the NFL Draft?
A: 2011, Pittsburgh WR Jonathan
Baldwin
ESPN.com
Analysts debate who Chiefs should select in draft

Chris Sitek
@ChrisSitek
ith less than a month

until the 2015 NFL Draft,
the Kansas City Chiefs sit
at No. 18 in the first round. I wanted
to look at potential prospects projected by NFL experts and my best
fits for Kansas City this year. While
moving forward, we have to look
back at the Chiefs 2014 NFL draft
and offseason moves.
Last draft, Kansas City selected
Auburn defensive end Dee Ford
at No. 23 in the first round. Other
notable selections were Oregon
running back DeAnthony Thomas
at No. 124 in the fourth round and
Tennessee guard Zach Fulton at No.
193 in the sixth round, according to
arrowheadpride.com.
This offseason was similarly
productive with the Chiefs adding wide receiver Jeremy Maclin,

safety Tyvon Branch and guard Ben
Grubbs; resigning defensive back
Ron Parker and linebacker Justin
Houston; and releasing wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, according to espn.
go.com.
Now heading into the 2015 NFL
Draft, the Chiefs have many options
at No. 18 in the first round. According to NFL Draft Tracker, the
Chiefs biggest positions-of-need are
offensive line, defensive line, wide
receiver, cornerback and linebacker.
There are a variety of opinions from
the latest NFL mock draft, according to different analyses for ESPN,
The NFL Network, CBS Sports and
Fox Sports.
ESPN NFL draft analyst Todd
McShay has the Chiefs selecting
Missouri/Oklahoma receiver Dorial
Green-Beckham. Mel Kiper Jr., an
ESPN College draft analyst, has

Arizona State receiver Jaelen Strong
as the Chiefs pick at No. 18.
Fox Sports senior national writer
Peter Schrager also has Strong as the
Chiefs first-round pick. Daniel Jeremiah, an NFL Network Analyst, has
the Chiefs selecting Alabama safety
Landon Collins, but CBS Sports
NFL draft analyst Dane Brugler
has Central Florida wide receiver
Breshad Perriman as his prediction.
Sports Illustrated NFL writer Chris
Burke has the Chiefs selecting Mississippi State linebacker Benardrick
McKinney. Terez A. Paylor, the
Chiefs beat writer for the Kansas
City Star, has the Chiefs selecting
Iowa offensive lineman Brandon
Scherff, according to kcchiefs.com.
I agree with Kiper and Schrager
and believe that the best first-round
pick for the Kansas City Chiefs
would be Strong. At 6-foot-2, 217
pounds with an arm length of 32.5

inches, Strong possesses the size
needed for the NFL. With a 4.44
second 40-yard dash, he also has the
speed to make an immediate impact
on this Chiefs roster.
Strong, a former transfer of Pierce
Community College in Los Angeles,
made an immediate impact for the
Sun Devils as just a sophomore, tallying 75 catches for 1,122 yards, and
seven touchdowns, quickly emerging as a top player for ASU. In 2014,
Strong was First Team All Pac-12
and a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist
with 82 receptions for 1,165 yards
and 10 touchdowns, according to
NFL.com and CBSsports.com.
I believe with these statistics,
Strong has the potential to become
an impact player for the Kansas City
Chiefs.
FC Kansas City proves to be too much for Jayhawks

CHRIS SITEK
@ChrisSitek
Kansas womens soccer has

been preparing all offseason
for a successful 2015 season.
The Jayhawks are coming
off of a successful 2014
season with a 5-3 conference
and 15-6 overall record,
good for third in the Big 12
conference. Additionally, the
Jayhawks are coming off a
spring exhibition win against
Iowa 1-0.
The Jayhawks fell to FC
Kansas City on Tuesday
2-0 in their second spring
exhibition game. This loss
made Kansas 0-3 in the
spring
exhibition
series
versus FC Kansas, losing 4-0
in 2013 and 3-1 in 2014.
The two key statistics upon
analysis of this loss were the
Jayhawks inability to score
the ball and the National
Womens Soccer Leagues
defending
champions
providing timely goals and
stifling defense throughout
the entirety of the game.
These goals were scored from
midfielder Erika Tymrak and
forward Shea Groom.
Tymrak is coming off a
successful 2013-2014 season

as the NWSL Rookie of the
Year, scoring six goals and
four assists in 16 starts in 21
appearances on the season.
Groom, a rookie Texas A&M
product, was the No. 12 pick
of the 2015 National Womens
League Soccer Draft.
Kansas scored zero goals
on a mere one attempt the
whole game, but there were
positive takeaways that came
from this game. Consistently
playing a professional team in
FC Kansas City every year is
helpful toward the Jayhawks
growth, especially since FC
KC is the 2014 defending
NWSL champion.
This match will only help
prepare the Jayhawks to face
the top teams of the Big 12
conference, such as West
Virginia (16-2-4), Texas Tech
(16-4-2) and Oklahoma State
(10-10-1) last season. The
Jayhawks will play Drake
Friday at 7 p.m. at Rock
Chalk Park and finish their
exhibition season at Tulsa
on Saturday, April 18, and
at home against Creighton
in their exhibition finale on
Saturday, April 25.

After scoring the game-winning goal against UMKC on Sept. 14, 2014, junior forward Ashley Williams celebrates with fellow teammates. Kansas took on FC
Kansas City on Tuesday, falling 2-0.

The Kansas track and field team

will return to Texas this weekend,
after competing in Austin last
weekend. The Jayhawks will head
down to Waco to compete in the
Baylor Invitational.
One of the Jayhawk athletes
entering this weekend with a great
deal of momentum, following
strong performances at the Texas
Relays, is Kansas senior hurdler
Michael Stigler. He sealed a win in
the 400-meter hurdles, finishing
with a time of 48.44 seconds.
That record-breaking mark was
Stiglers personal best, a school
record and the world-leading time
for the event this season. Stigler

beat his previous personal best
of 49.19 seconds, which was
recorded two years ago at the
2013 NCAA Championships.
Stigler was awarded U.S. Track &
Field and Cross Country Coaches
Association National Player of the
Week honors on Tuesday after his
performance at the Texas Relays
this past weekend. On Wednesday,
Stigler was named the Big 12
Track and Field Athlete of the
Week.
It just shows that people are
paying attention to the work Ive
been doing and exactly what Ive
been doing on the track, Stigler
said about the award. Its an
honor, and it shows how good our
coaching staff is here at KU.
Head coach Stanley Redwine
said he and the entire coaching

staff was proud of Stiglers
performance.
He represents Kansas well,
Redwine said. Its well deserved
for him, because his performance
was outstanding.
The events will begin on Friday
morning in Waco and conclude
in the evening. Redwine said the
competition should be strong,
and said the meet will consist of
a good number of Big 12 teams.
Redwine also said athletes will be
able compete in different events
than theyre used to.
Some athletes ran on relay
events at the Texas Relays will be
able to run individual events at
Baylor, Redwine said.
G.J. Melia
Kershaw allows 1 hit,

unearned run for Dodgers
ALAN ESKEW
Associated Press
SURPRISE, Ariz. Clayton
Kershaw and Yorduna Ventura
each had their final outing in
preparation for opening day,
and the Los Angeles Dodgers
and Kansas City Royals tied
4-4 Wednesday.
Kershaw, the 2014 National
League MVP and Cy Young
Award winner, threw 45
pitches while facing 11 batters
and gave up one hit and an
unearned run. Hell next face
the San Diego Padres on April
6.
I was still a little bit all
over the place, Kershaw
said. I walked two guys in
three innings. We dont want
to do that. And then had a
couple of hard hit balls right
at guys. Definitely, room for
improvement, but physically
I feel good and ready to go.
Thats all you can ask for at this
point.
Kershaw had a 1.61 ERA this
spring. He gave up just 15 hits
and struck out 22 in 22 1-3
innings this spring.
Brett Eibner homered twice
for the Royals, including a
two-run shot in the ninth to
tie it. Eibner tops the club with
five home runs, but will begin
the season in the minors.
Ventura, who threw seven
no-hit innings against Seattle

in his previous start, yielded
two runs, one earned, and four
hits in four innings.
Darwin Barney doubled
and tripled for the Dodgers
and scored on A.J. Ellis third
inning double.
The Dodgers played seven
ties, a club spring training
record.
STARTING TIME
Dodgers: Kershaw will be
making his fourth consecutive
opening-day start. Clayton
looked like a guy who was
gearing up for opening day,
catcher A.J. Ellis said. Its
always a challenge with him,
pitching when he knows he has
an expiration date on his game.
Theres really no reward at the
end for him as far as wins and
losses. You saw last year the
way his spring regressed and
then how he turned the corner
on opening day. Its something
about the adrenaline and the
competition rush that takes
him to another level. Hes
gotten to the point in his
career, especially who he is
and the stature that he has that
spring training is probably not
his favorite time of the year.
Royals: Ventura, who will
start the Royals opener
Monday against the Chicago
White Sox, threw 41 strikes in
61 pitches.
GREINKES MINOR WORK

RHP Zack Greinke threw
85 pitches and seven innings
in a minor league intrasquad
game. He allowed two runs,
both on homers, and five hits,
while striking out nine.
TRAINERS ROOM
Dodgers: OF Andre Ethier
was struck in the right elbow
by White Sox LHP Carlos
Rodon Tuesday. X-rays were
negative.
Royals: RHP Luke Hochevar,
who had reconstructive elbow
surgery during last spring,
will begin the season on the
disabled list. He will likely be
ready by early May. He pitched
a flawless inning Wednesday.
HIGHLAND PARK DAY

Kershaw and Royals RHP
Chris Young, who gave up a
home run to minor leaguer
Travis Witherspoon in the
seventh, are graduates of
Dallas Highland Park High.
UP NEXT
Dodgers: A host of relievers
will pitch against the Angels
Thursday in Anaheim.
Royals: The Royals, who
are off Thursday, will start
RHP Edinson Volquez Friday
against the Astros at Houston.

Rizzo hits 3-run homer as

Cubs beat Brewers 11-7
MIKE TULUMELLO
Associated Press
MESA, Ariz. Anthony

Rizzo hit a three-run homer
off Kyle Lohse, and Jason
Hammel allowed one run
in five innings as the Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee
Brewers 11-7 Wednesday.
Tommy La Stella homered
starting the third, Dexter
Fowler walked, Jorge Soler
singled and Rizzo sent an 0-2
pitch from Lohse over the leftfield fence.
Fowler hit a two-run homer
in the fourth off Lohse, who
allowed seven runs, eight hits
and four walks in four innings.
Jorge Soler hit a two-run homer off Will Smith in the fifth.
Hammel gave up six hits,
struck out five and walked
none. The right-hander, who
will pitch either the Cubs'
second or third game, pronounced himself happy with
the spring.
"I got the pitch counts up
where they needed to be. I still
felt really strong in the fifth today. That's pretty much all you
can ask for stay healthy and
get ready," Hammel said.
An announced crowd of
13,375 at Sloan Park raised the
Cubs' home total to 222,415, a
major league spring training
record that topped Chicago's
total of 213,815 last year.
Fowler went 3-for-3 with
four runs scored. Soler, La
Stella and Matt Szczur all had
two hits apiece.
For the Brewers, Logan Schafer was 3 for 4 with three RBIs.
Scooter Gennett went 3 for 5
with two doubles, and Adam
Lind doubled twice.

Buffalo Sabres Brian Gionta (12), Tyler Ennis (63), Zach Bogosian, rear, and Johan Larsson (22), celebrate a goal
by Matt Moulson (26) during the game yesterday in Buffalo, N.Y. Buffalo won 4-3.

Chicago Cubs Dexter Fowler celebrates in the dugout after being walked in
during the third inning of a spring training baseball exhibition game against
the Kansas City Royals in Mesa, Ariz., on March 17.
three homers, is scheduled to

start the season opener Monday against Colorado. He said
he didn't have the feel for his
changeup Wednesday but kept
trying to work on it.
"It's not an, 'Oh well,'" he
said. "It's, 'OK, let's think
about what we need to work
on for the next start.'"
In the longer view, he said
he's healthy and ready to go.
"That's the most important
thing. Except for this, I felt
like every other outing was
really solid," Lohse said. "This
start was ugly, but you turn the
page. The next one is the one
that counts."
Milwaukee manager Ron
Roenicke said he likes how
Lohse has been pitching.
Lohse entered the game with a
1.80 ERA this spring.
"I don't know how to explain
today," Roenicke said. "Sometimes, your command just
isn't there. Sometimes you're
facing a pretty good team. He
knows what he needs to do.
We feel good with him opening up."
Cubs: Jon Lester is likely to
throw about 100 pitches in the
season opener Sunday night
vs. St. Louis. Also, manager
Joe Maddon will soon decide

on his fifth starter, choosing
between Travis Wood and Edwin Jackson, with the other
going to the bullpen.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Brewers: Ryan Braun sat out
with a tight hamstring. The
team hopes he'll be ready to go
Thursday.
Cubs: OF Chris Denorfia
could start the season on the
disabled list with a hamstring
injury. Also, outfielder Chris
Coghlan is day to day with a
stiff neck.
ROSTER MOVES
The Cubs optioned outfielder
Junior Lake and pitchers Brian
Schlitter and Zac Rosscup to
Triple-A Iowa.
"I tried to impress upon
these guys to stay ready because the call could come at
any moment," Maddon said.
"The guy who goes out there
and continues to do his job
and stays ready gets that call."
Chicago now has three position players competing for
two spots, Maddon indicated. They are outfielders Ryan
Sweeney and Szczur, and infielder Jonathan Herrera.
Sabres rally back to beat

Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3
JOHN WAWROW
Associated Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. Matt

Moulson and Matt Ellis
scored 1:41 apart in the third
period, and the Buffalo Sabres rallied for a 4-3 win over
the Toronto Maple Leafs on
Wednesday night.
The Sabres overcame a 3-1
second-period deficit and
won their second straight,
inching closer to moving out
of last place. Zac Dalpe and
Cody Hodgson also scored
in a matchup of cross-border
rivals that featured a predominant number of fans wearing
Maple Leafs jerseys.
Ellis added an assist, and
Brian Gionta set up two goals
for Buffalo (22-47-8), which
moved to within two points
of 29th-place Arizona.
James van Riemsdyk, Eric
Brewer and Nazem Kadri
scored for Toronto (29-43-6),
which squandered a chance
to win three straight for the
first time since a six-game run
from Dec. 10-16. The Maple
Leafs are 10-34-3 since.
Buffalo's Anders Lindback
made 24 saves, including a
pair of key stops against Phil

Kessel in the final minute.
Moulson tied it with a power-play goal 1:33 into the
third period. Gionta started
the play at the left boards and
sent a no-look pass down low
to Johan Larsson, who quickly fed the puck into the slot
for Moulson's one-timer.
Ellis was set up by Nikita
Zadorov, who sped up the
right wing and sent a pass
into the middle. Ellis cut
across to draw out goalie Jonathan Bernier and shoveled
the puck into the open left
side.
While Ellis and his teammates celebrated, some Sabres fans joined their Maple
Leafs counterparts by sitting
quietly following the sudden
turn of events.
A large contingent of Sabres
fans are openly rooting for
Buffalo to finish 30th and be
guaranteed a shot at selecting
one of two highly touted draft
prospects: Erie Otters center
Connor McDavid or Boston
University center Jack Eichel.
The pro-losing group made
its voices heard in Buffalo's
previous home game, a 4-3
overtime loss to Arizona on

Thursday. That's when notable cheers went up each time
the Coyotes scored.
Sabres players took offense,
with defenseman Mike Weber calling it "a whole new
low."
Before the opening faceoff
on Wednesday, fans were
overheard chanting: "We
want McDavid!" One fan had
a banner that read: "Embrace
The Tank," in reference to
wanting Buffalo to bottom
out.
Fans wearing Sabres jerseys
in the upper bowl cheered
when the Maple Leafs scored,
and patted a banner stuck on
the wall behind them that
read: "#PRAY for McDAVID."
After Dalpe opened the
scoring less than seven minutes in, the Maple Leafs
scored the next three, capped
by Kadri's goal at 13:24 of the
second period.
The Sabres responded 30
seconds later when Hodgson
scored on a wraparound. It
came after he gathered a loose
puck behind the net after Andre Benoit's point shot sailed
wide.

COMMENTARY
Kelly Oubre Jr.
made the right
choice
Blair Sheade
@realblairsheady
ne year ago yesterday, Andrew Wiggins declared for

the NBA draft. Everyone in
the world knew Wiggins was
going pro after his freshman
year, but there was another
freshman on the fence about
leaving school early and
entering into the NBA draft
Joel Embiid.
No one knew if Embiid was
going to stay another season
or if he was taking his talents
to the NBA. In the end, Embiid declared for the NBA draft
and was picked third overall
by the Philadelphia 76ers.
This season there was a
similar discussion about
freshman guard Kelly Oubre
Jr. Would he stay in Lawrence
for another season or would
he enter his name among all
the great college basketball
players in America? Ultimately, Oubre chose the NBA over
his sophomore season.
Its a great idea for Oubre
to make the leap into the
professional basketball world.
Nine times out of 10, an NBA
prospect with his physical
features, talent level and
potential will go pro.
One scout told me Oubre
was the best NBA prospect on
the Jayhawks roster this season, over Cliff Alexander and
Perry Ellis. The same scout
said Oubre will be a top-10
pick, but he needs to improve
his shooting consistency to
make an impact at the next
level.
Oubre shot 44 percent from
the field, averaging nine
points and five rebounds.
Oubre struggled from behind
the arc, where he only hit
32 three-pointers on 82
attempts.
Thirty-eight percent from
three isnt terrible, but to become a star at the NBA level,
Oubre will have to improve
his shot. It looks like Oubres
jump shot is unconventional, but the NBA scout said
Oubres shot is a fine-looking
stroke for a left-hander.
The NBA scout compared
Oubre, at 6-foot-7 and with
a wingspan well over 7 feet,
to Indiana Pacers guard Paul
George because they possess
similar body structure, which
teams love.
Oubre made a great decision
not to rush into something
he would regret. He said he
consulted past players, such
as Joel Embiid, about how to
handle the process and what
to expect.
The 2014-15 season will be
the last time fans see Oubre
in a Kansas uniform, but he
made the mature decision to
continue working toward his
degree. Over the past year, its
been a pleasure to cover Oubre, and hes shown nothing
but maturity and class for the
University of Kansas.
Getting my degree from
Kansas will be the biggest
accomplishment of my life,
bigger than making it to the
NBA, Oubre said in the
statement.

Jayhawks beat Shockers in Wichita, 13-12

KYLAN WHITMER
@KRWhitmer
The Kansas baseball team

traveled down to Wichita on
Wednesday and left with a
victory in a game that had everything.
Jayhawks started the game
as well as they could have
hoped for after scoring five
runs in the top of the first.
The half-inning saw three hits
from the Jayhawks including
a two-out grand-slam from
senior Dakota Smith.
The Shockers were not impressed and answered the Jayhawks scoring barrage with
a four-run inning off of four
hits. Jayhawks starting pitcher junior Hayden Edwards
had a game to forget as he
was pulled before the end of
the first inning and replaced
by sophomore Sean Rackoski
after a three RBI double by
Wichita State junior Sam Hilliard.
Following a three-up, threedown inning by the Jayhawks,
the Shockers replicated their
first inning performance in
the bottom of the second. The
Shockers tied the game at 5-5
early in the inning and took
Pitcher Ben Krauth throws against the Utah batter. Kansas baseball defeated Utah 7-5 on March 6. The three-game series ended Sunday.
the lead after junior Ryan

Tinkham hit a two-run shot
over the center field fence.
Fans at Eck Stadium in
Wichita saw a slight break
in the action with a scoring
drought in the third but the

wait wouldnt last long.
The Jayhawks seemed to
be having another three-up,
three-down inning in the
fourth until a solo homer
by sophomore Joven Afenir

brought his team within one
run.
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, the Shockers again
responded with runs of their
own. The Shockers took advantage of three wild pitches
by Kansas freshman Casey
Douglas, including two batters hit by pitches, to put four
more runs on the board and
lead 6-11.
Kansas junior Tommy Mirabelli put a dent in Wichitas
lead in the top of the sixth
with yet another home run to
bring the game within three.
However, the Shockers would
respond yet again in the bottom of the inning with one
run off two hits, making the
game 8-12.
The Jayhawks kept fighting
their way back into the game
in the seventh with freshman
Matt McLaughlin singling to
right field and then scoring
with help from a sacrifice fly
from junior Blair Beck. For
the first time in the game the
Jayhawks wouldnt allow a response from the Shockers and
held them to no hits or runs in
the bottom half of the inning.
The comeback continued
in the eighth as the Jayhawks

turned the tables and took
advantage of wild pitches of
their own. After loading the
bases, Smith found home
after a pitch got behind the
Shockers catcher. Two batters
later, McLaughlin would tie
the game up with a two RBI
single to right field to make
the score 12-12 going into the
bottom of the eighth.
The tie game held all the way
to the end of regulation after the Jayhawks escaped the
bottom of the ninth with two
Shockers on base and no outs.
After an inning of free baseball, the Jayhawk sophomore
Michael Tinsley started off
the eleventh inning with a
leadoff double. Coach Ritch
Price opted to play small ball
and brought Tinsley home
with two sacrifice bunts to
take their first lead since the
beginning of the game. The
go-ahead run would turn out
to be the game-winning run
as the Shockers couldnt get
anything going in the bottom
of the eleventh inning, giving
the Jayhawks a 13-12 road
win.

No. 23 Jayhawks look to rebound against OSU

DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
The No. 23 Jayhawks (29-5,

0-3) will head to Stillwater,
Okla., this weekend in an attempt to rebound after being
swept by the Texas Longhorns
last weekend. They Jayhawks
will face off against the Oklahoma State Cowgirls (17-18,
1-2) in a three-game series
that begins at 6 p.m. Thursday,
continues at 5:30 p.m. Friday
and concludes at 1 p.m. Saturday.
The Jayhawks had perhaps
their worst overall showing
of the 2015 season last weekend against the Longhorns,
suffering their first sweep of
the season. Kansas allowed 24
runs and 35 hits over the three
weekend games. The Jayhawks
are still looking for their 30th
win this season, which would
mark the fifth straight time
that feat has occurred for
Kansas.
Offensively, junior Chaley
Brickey, who leads the team
with a .398 batting average,
43 hits and 41 RBIs, leads the
Jayhawks. Freshman Daniella
Chavez is coming off Sundays
game against Texas, where she
hit two home runs in a losing

effort. Chavez is tied for the
team-lead with eight home
runs.
The Jayhawks pitching staff
struggled considerably last
weekend against Texas, allowing 24 runs and 35 hits.
Senior ace Alicia Pille suffered her first two losses of the
year against the Longhorns.
Pille still leads the pitching
staff with a 2.27 ERA and has
struck out 135 batters while
allowing 94 hits and 49 runs.
Oklahoma State boasts a decent 17-18 record this season,
including a 1-2 record in Big
12 conference play. The Cowgirls are coming off a weekend
during which they lost two
games to Baylor, then won
the final matchup by a score
of 1-0.
Oklahoma State had a
strong weekend at Baylor and
theyre going to be tough competition just like any other Big
12 team, said Kansas coach
Megan Smith. They have a
lot of speed, which we havent
seen a lot of this season, so
thats going to be something
to prepare for.
They are a solid team who
had a tough weekend. Were

expecting them to be pretty

sharp this weekend,
Senior outfielder Shelby Davis leads the Cowgirls with a
.442 batting average and has
recorded 46 hits, 16 RBIs and
26 scored runs. Junior infielder Tiffany Mikkelson ranks
second on the team with a
.400 batting average and has
recorded 40 hits and has 29
scored runs, while leading the
team with eight home runs
and 33 RBIs.
Freshman Jessi Haffner
leads the Cowgirls pitching staff with a 3.16 ERA.

She has struck out 27 batters
while allowing 40 runs and
53 hits in 44 innings pitched.
Sophomore Brandi Needham
ranks second on the pitching
staff with a 3.71 ERA and has
struck out 46 batters while allowing 130 hits and 67 runs.
The Cowgirls hold a 64-43
advantage in the all-time series against the Jayhawks.
The Jayhawks hold a 4-1 record on the road during this
season. They will need to improve on that record if they

want to get a foothold in the
conference race.
The team has worked really hard this week and a lot of
players have put in extra work
to go this weekend, Brickey said during Wednesdays
practice. I think theres going
to be a different team on the
field than there was this past
weekend.
