Grillin in the heat Miller Coors offers grant to University

hannah barlinG
editor@kansan.com The University recently received a $10,000 grant from the Foundation for Alcohol Researchs Great Plays program. The grant, which was funded by the Miller Coors Brewing Company, will assist with the development of the Jayhawk Buddy System. The Jayhawk Buddy System is designed to encourage students to act responsibly and safely when drinking during both celebratory and typical weekend partying. This campaign will include a responsibility message in its advertising at Kansas Athletic events. Any help we can give this program helps the school because if this program works, then everybody wins, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director. This program helps establish behavior that encourages responsibility before negative incidents happen. Frank DeSalvo, associate vice provost for student success, said a significant portion of the grant will be dedicated toward evaluating the effectiveness of the program. Thus far weve used the money weve had to market the program and brand it with students so that its easily recognized, DeSalvo said. The grant will also go toward the development of promotional campaigns to spread the Jayhawk Buddy System logo and its ACT message: Agree to stay together, check on each other regularly, take charge to get home safely. With this grant we are really going to focus so that people will know the Jayhawk Buddy System and encourage them to use the three protective behaviors,

DeSalvo said. While some students wear ACT message t-shirts, others arent as informed. I have no idea what the Buddy System is, but after hearing about it, its a good policy not to leave your friends behind, said Katie Drape, a freshman from Overland Park. I think its good they got the money because they need to make students more aware. Other students had suggestions to better the program in the future. I hope they continue to use the money to keep the KU students safe while out drinking with friends, said Becky Johnson, a sophomore from Lindberg. Maybe they could team up with the SafeBus system and have a bus run on Wednesday nights since it has become such a popular night among students. DeSalvo said this grant will allow the Jayhawk Buddy System to enhance its efforts and improve the program overall. Once we understand how effective we are, then we will be in a position to continue what were doing if its working, or to change it to become more effective, he said. Edited by Anna Allen

Recipes were submitted to SUA and four were selected by a panel of SUA members. The chefs with the top four submissions met on the first floor of the Union for a grill-off to determine whose hamburger is the best. My mom is really good in the kitchen and this is an old recipe of hers that I thought would be good for the competition, Broadfoot said.

dean of engineering accepts position at lsu

The dean of the University of Kansas School of Engineering was named executive vice chancellor and provost at Louisiana State University Thursday. Stuart Bell, who has been dean of the engineering school since 2002, will remain at the University through July and begin at LSU on August 2.

Ive had an amazing opportunity to work with some brilliant, hard-working colleagues during the past 10 Bell years, Bell said in a press release. Even though Im looking forward to new challenges at LSU, I know Im leaving a wonderful

institution with faculty, staff, students and alumni who are nothing short of inspiring. During Bells time at the University, four major engineering-focused research centers were created, including the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets. Eaton Hall and the M2SEC research building were both constructed during his tenure here. Doctoral student enrollment and annual research

awards to faculty have nearly doubled since Bell became dean. According to the press release, a national search will be conducted to fill the position, and the Universitys Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Jeff Vitter will consult with engineering faculty, staff and students prior to naming an interim dean.

Cooking demonstrations end on a sweet note

kelsey Cipolla
kcipolla@kansan.com A cooking demonstration provided a sweet escape for students Wednesday afternoon in the Kansas Union. Jennifer Yi and Amber Munoz from local bakery Billy Vanilly, 914 Massachusetts Street, taught students how to pipe frosting onto cupcakes, speedily ice a layered cake and add sprinkles without compromising the integrity of the icing. Students were invited to try the techniques themselves before chocolate and vanilla cupcakes were passed around. The event was part of a recent series of cooking demonstrations hosted by Student Union Activities culinary committee. A demonstration earlier this month featured Janna Traver, executive chef for KU Dining, who prepared Peruvian food. Patrick Blanchard, a sophomore from Wamego and the committees coordinator, said that the demonstrations aim to teach students useful techniques while introducing them to foods that might not already be in their culinary wheelhouse. We try to bring people and representatives from restaurants that display skills students would be able to take home some of the knowledge and put it to good use, Blanchard said. Jenna Olitsky, a junior from Leawood, was a fan of the demonstrations after watching the team from Billy Vanilly. She heard about the event from her friends but was ultimately swayed by one important factor. I love cupcakes, Olitsky said. She was one of several students who practiced icing and decorating cupcakes under the watchful eye of the experts, as was Bea Tretbar, a freshman from Wichita. Tretbar said that she was initially intimidated by Yi and Munozs decorating skills. When they iced that cake, Ive never seen somebody do that so fast and so well, Tretbar said. But once she gave it a try, she felt like she could recreate the techniques in her own kitchen. Blanchard said that his personal favorite was the Sushi with Gusto demonstration even though it wasnt hands on. Attendees watched chefs prepare veggie, California and tuna rolls, which were then passed around the room. Although Wednesdays demonstration was the last of the semester, Blanchard said that he hopes to see next semesters coordinator continuing the presentations. Edited by Taylor Lewis

TOPEKA A day after four people escaped from a Kansas jail, two inmates are back in custody while the other two are still at large. All of the inmates who were moved from the facility were moved back in Thursday, according to the Department of Corrections. The remaining 18 prison inmates who were being held in the Ottawa County Jail because of prison overcrowding have been returned to the state prison in Ellsworth, department spokesman Jeremy Barclay told The Associated Press exclusively. Barclay said the temporary decision was made after four inmates escaped Wednesday morning from the jail in Minneapolis, a small town about 120 miles west of Topeka. The prison in Ellsworth is about 50 miles southwest of the jail. Two of the four inmates who escaped were apprehended Wednesday, one after he turned himself in at a Walmart in Nebraska. The other two, 22-year-old inmates Santos Carrera-Morales and Eric James, remained missing Thursday. Carrera-Morales was convicted of first-degree murder in connection with two killings in 2007. The department said that as of Wednesday, it housed 88 male inmates in four county jails under contracts paying the counties an average of $40 a day per inmate. County lockups apply to the state but must pass an inspection that includes a review of training and facilities. The state has another nine inmates who are nearing their release from prison in a work program in Johnson County. We are reassessing our jail placement in Ottawa County right now, just during this period, Barclay said. This is an interim step while the investigation is taking place. Barclay said the department has had informal internal discussions about providing supplemental training to staffers at county jails that house state inmates. Police warned that James and Carrera-Morales should be considered armed and dangerous, and that they may not be traveling together. Authorities acknowledged they were not sure where they might be headed but that they could be in or near to North Platte, Neb., after another inmate turned up there. Drew Wade, 21, had traveled in a stolen minivan to the western Nebraska town and was alone when he gave himself up about 13 hours after the jail break, police said. Wade told North Platte police that he had phoned his father, and that his father persuaded him to turn himself in. He walked into the local Walmart, said police Sgt. Gary Hovey. He approached the manager and asked him to call the police. Hovey said Wade told North Platte police: They all went in separate directions after they got out. The inmates, armed with homemade knives, overpowered guards at the Kansas jail after complaining about a broken water line in the holding cell area, Ottawa County Sheriff Keith Coleman told The Salina Journal. Coleman, who didnt respond to a phone call by The Associated Press on Thursday, said the inmates were able to open the cell doors and make their way outside. The guards suffered only minor injuries.

I am really committed to doing a good job in the Senate, Rubio said at a sitdown session with a dozen-plus reporters. If I do a good job in the Senate, three, four, five, six years from now, Ill have a different opportunity ... to do things inside of government and outside

of government.

Afghan president disgusted by photos of severed bodies

KABUL, Afghanistan Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned photographs of U.S. soldiers posing with the bloodied remains of three suicide bombers as disgusting and said Thursday that only a quicker exit of international forces can prevent such missteps. Karzai joined top American officials in denouncing the 2-year-old photos, the latest in a string of embarrassing controversies that have jeopardized relations between the two countries in the midst of negotiations over the withdrawal of foreign troops.
The photos were published in Wednesdays Los Angeles Times. One shows members of the 82nd Airborne Division posing in 2010 with Afghan police holding the severed legs of a suicide bomber. The same platoon a few months later was sent to investigate the remains of three insurgents reported to have accidentally blown themselves up and soldiers again posed and mugged for a photo with the remains, the newspaper said. A photo from the second incident appears to show the hand of a dead insurgent resting on a U.S. soldiers shoulder as the soldier smiles. It is such a disgusting act to take photos with body parts and then share it with others, Karzai said. The only way to put an end to such painful experiences is through an accelerated and full transition of security responsibilities to Afghan forces. The Afghan government is currently scheduled to start taking the lead in security in 2013 and fully take over by the end of 2014 when the majority of international combat troops leave.

No concerns surround launch of weapon-carrying missile

NEw DELhI Indias successful test of a powerful new missile that can carry nuclear weapons to Beijing caused barely a ripple even in China just days after North Korea was globally vilified for a failed rocket launch. The vastly different responses show the world has grown to accept India as a responsible and stable nuclear power, while shunning North Korea as a pariah. Its not the spear, but who holds the spear that matters, said Rahul Bedi, a defense analyst in India. North Korea is a condemned nation. Its a pariah country. Its record of breaking nuclear agreements is well known. India has emerged in that sense as a fairly responsible country. In 2008 the U.S. ratified a landmark deal to allow civilian nuclear trade that effectively accepted India as a nuclear nation. The missile, with a range of 3,100
miles, still requires a battery of tests and must clear other bureaucratic hurdles before it can be inducted into Indias arsenal in a few years. The differences between the two launches were clear before they even got under way. North Korea insisted its rocket launch on Sunday was merely part of a civilian space program aimed at putting an observation satellite into orbit. The U.S. and other countries called it a thin excuse to test technology for firing a long-range missile fitted with a nuclear warhead. The launch failed when the rocket broke apart soon after takeoff. The condemnation of North Koreas launch was swift. The United States canceled a plan to send food aid and the U.N. Security Council announced it would impose new sanctions. India was clear from the start that it was testing a nuclear-capable missile that could reach major Chinese cities.

Leaders to discuss tensions between neighboring nations

JUBA, South Sudan The Arab League said Thursday it would hold an emergency meeting over the increasing violence between Sudan and South Sudan. The south reported new skirmishes even as Sudans president increased his threats of war toward the south. Sudan President Omar al-Bashir said the recent violence has revived the spirit of jihad in Sudan. South Sudan said it had repulsed four attacks from Sudan over a 24-hour period as fighting on the border showed no signs of slowing. Acting on a request by Sudan, the Arab League scheduled an emergency meeting of foreign ministers in Cairo next week to discuss the violence, Deputy Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed bin Helli said. The league earlier called on South Sudan to withdraw from
the oil-rich Heglig area that southern troops invaded and took over last week. Despite the threats from Sudan, a southern government spokesman said South Sudan was only defending its territory and considers Sudan a friendly nation. South Sudan broke away from Sudan last year after a self-determination vote for independence. That vote was guaranteed in a mediated end to decades of civil war between the two sides. But the sides never fully agreed where their shared border lay, nor did they reach agreement on how to share oil wealth that is pumped from the border region. Instead, the two countries have seen a sharp increase in violence in recent weeks, especially around the oil-producing town of Heglig. Both sides claim Heglig as their own. It lies in a region

In 2008, the US accepted India as a nuclear nation. The missile hasnt transported any weapons yet because it still has a variety of tests to undergo, but when it is ready, it will carry nuclear weapons to Beijing. The missile hasnt received any backlash from other nations.

Proposed pipeline route runs length of country

LINCOLN, Neb. Officials unveiled a new preferred route Thursday for the Nebraska portion of the stalled Keystone XL oil pipeline that avoids the states groundwater-rich Sandhills region. The proposed route would veer east around the the Sandhills before looping back to the original route. Developer TransCanada has said the reroute adds about 100 miles to the original 1,700-mile project that would carry oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast.

The full $7 billion pipeline would travel from Canada through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. TransCanada wants to build the 36-inch pipeline to carry oil from tar sands in Alberta to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast. Nebraska became a pivotal battleground for the project last year, pitting environmentalists and some landowners against unions and the oil industry. Heineman called a special session to address concerns over the pipelines proposed path, and TransCanada executive eventually agreed

to route the pipeline away from Nebraskas groundwater-rich Sandhills. Nebraska lawmakers passed a bill earlier this month authorizes the state Department of environmental Quality to review possible routes through the state and hold at least one public hearing on its evaluation. Its findings would then be added to a federal environmental review, if the company reapplies for a project permit. The review is expected to cost as much as $2 million.

Take the R-word out of your vocab

T
he director of the first and second Anchorman movies has committed to leave the R-word out of the new installment. His tweeted promise is one gesture closer to deleting the R-word for good, but it isnt enough to stop here. Chances are that most students have heard or used the R-word without thinking twice. Although it started out as slang derived from the medical term mental retardation it has become offensive for individuals and family members with intellectual disabilities. Campaigns against the R-word, like Spread the Word to End the Word have been around for quite a while, but although theyve been working hard, theyve failed to end the R-word thus far. I think that most people dont understand how insulting the R-word really is, and they use it without thought, wrote Dr. Michael Wehmeyer, a professor of Special Education at the University, in an e-mail. What isnt often talked about is the referencing of words with similar backgrounds as everyday insults. Wehmeyer references imbecile, idiot and moron as words that once referred to a person with a disability. As the words are introduced, theyre a better alternative than the old, insulting word, but over time, people begin to misuse the word and turn it into something it wasnt meant to be. If the national campaign for ending the R-word isnt enough, how can we delete the R-word from the national vernacular? Start with yourself. It is through efforts to make people aware of the inappropriateness of the term and the offensiveness of the term that people become aware and begin to monitor their use of them, Wehmeyer said. By reading this editorial, you as a reader have been made aware. Its your turn. Make a conscious effort to keep the R-word out of your personal vocabulary. Inform people around you who use this term. Remember that this isnt about inconveniencing you. This is about respecting others regardless of societys views. Find another word; there are plenty to choose from.

We have a test on Friday! But on Thursday we are starting a new lesson to confuse the heck out of you right before the test! Teachers It amazes me how many people over the age of five still chew with their mouths open. Seriously. To the couple in Chem 184: Will you stop coming to class if you are going to just kiss and giggle every time? Thanks. Holy crap. A hawk just swooped down, grabbed a squirrel and ate it on top of a light post. Just saw a guy wearing the joker makeup while driving. Is Lawrence the new Gotham? And if so, who is Batman? How cool would it be if we replaced our buses with a trolley system? There is nothing better than having your friend, who is dressed in drag, give you a lap dance for charity. To the guy in my Chem lab who says he sees me all over campus but never says hi; maybe you should. Jay-Z has 99 problems. our exam tomorrow has 150. The hot dog man is going to make so much money on 4/20. The Arbys turnover text thingy still works! Score! not everyones legs are khaki-colored. That awkward moment when you fart in a public place and forget that youre wearing headphones. Just a few weeks left and I realize Ive been misspelling my TAs name this whole time. A good rule of thumb for how far you can go is whether or not you would do it in front of your father. Editors Note: Looks like you arent having kids. Sometimes I ride my bike so fast, bugs splatter all over my shirt like a car windshield. I dont mind. It makes me feel hardcore. Girls creeped out by dan the bus driver: Get over yourselves. dan is a happy, old guy who really cares about people. If I can smell the Axe youre wearing, it means you used too much. Club Schutz smells like my tattoo shop. I saw you staring at me. Im not interested, and if you were looking closer, you would have seen the ring on my finger. The FFA editor is a girl, right? Saw a guy sleeping under a tree today. I cant imagine what the squirrels are planning on doing to him. Well, I guess the Hawk doesnt except Beak Em Bucks. Just saw a psych study that was labeled brian study, instead of brain study. Is that the first part of the study? I thought someone glued a fake cockroach to the wall of one of the stalls in Haworth, but then it moved.

y parents do not consider deafness a medical condition, disability or a bad draw out of the genetic bag of luck. It is a cultural identity integral to who they are; their identities do not center around being deaf, but being deaf factors into who they are as much as their religion, race, gender, etc. My parents dont condemn cochlear implants as a whole, but they dislike the way that their culture is being swept aside as some sort of ailment to be fixed. Recently, a friend of mine sent me an article on Facebook from NPR about cochlear implants (one entirely discussing only on how cochlear implants have improved the quality of life for the Deaf). She and I got into a discussion about this skewed perspective. There was questioning and answering in comments on it from others about what could be bad about cochlear implants, but it all remained civil. That is, until someone I knew likened the position of those in the Deaf Community against giving cochlear implants to children to being the same as the disabled community condemning stem cell treatment for children with spinal injuries. I felt upset, flustered, and above all, angry. I am not completely against cochlear implants and neither are my parents. Doctors have goodintentions with this technology, I know. But cochlear implants are being given out as if they are a cure-all for the Deaf. It treats being Deaf as a condition and not as an identity, a group of people within society who suffer from an affliction rather than being treated as a demographic culture within society that shares a language, shared attitudes, values, and political stakes. Comparing children who are born deaf to children with spinal injuries is NOT an appropriate comparison. It doesnt impair your quality of life. Being Deaf is not a life-threatening condition. It causes challenges, to have to navigate society differently, just as those who belong to the LGBTQ community, or those who are racial minorities in a white dominated culture, or believers in a religion that clashes with the Christian majority in the west. Deaf people do not wish to be separated from the Hearing world, far from it. They want to be able to interact with the whole of society; they dont want to compromise a part of their identity in order to do so. What if the medical community found a way to produce feelings of hetero-normative attraction within a gay person by some sort of drug or surgical process. Would we expect the Gay community to embrace whole-heartedly the fact that they can now be straight? This might seem like an

extreme example to some, but the issue is extreme. Many dont realize that the Deaf Community views themselves in this light, as a group of people whos social and political voice is being silenced in the discussion of cochlear implants. Cochlear implants are serious, particularly when the number of young children receiving them is frighteningly rapid. And this push to the Deaf to conform to the hearing worlds norms allows society to remain comfortably in the status quo. By giving a child an implant when very young, it says, The Deaf Community is not a community you want to be in if you can help it. By having the discussion in the media and medical community focus on the improvement of quality of life, it says Living life as a Deaf person is a lower quality of life. By focusing so solely on the voice of those Deaf in the media who support cochlear implants says this is what all Deaf people think. This is not admonishing Deaf adults who choose to have an implant. It is a personal decision, one that I believe should be decided by the individual in question, not done to a child as a solution to a problem. My father was born Deaf, but he didnt learn sign language until he was 10-year-old. My father didnt have a means of language until 10 years into his life because when he was growing up, the mode of deaf education was one that tried to fit Deaf children into the hearing world. The Deaf Community have made astounding progress in the past few decades in rights and increasing their political agency. But the way the talk about cochlear implants is going makes me think that a few years down the line, there will be no talk of teaching children sign language or about getting involved in the Deaf community. They will not ask What do you think about cochlear implants? but rather So when do you want to schedule your surgery? Gwynn is a freshman in English from Olathe.

oday is 4/20, and as college students, I probably dont need to fill you in on the significance of this day for many across campus. According to the National Drug Intelligence Center, an estimated 30.6 percent of US adults aged 18-25 have used marijuana in the past year. Thats a surprisingly large portion of the college-aged population reporting illicit drug use. The intent of this column is not to pick a side in the drug decriminalization debate and is certainly not to advocate for illegal behavior. Rather, it aims to inform on the very real international implications of the US drug habit. At $144 billion, the North American market for drugs is the largest in the world, according to the World Drug Report. To put this into perspective, our black market drug trade is more valuable than the GDP of 72 percent of the countries in the world. Theres a lot of money in selling drugs, no surprise there. Considering that this market is 16 times more valuable than the global market for coffee, it shouldnt be a surprise when farmers in Central and Latin America or the Caribbean, the primary origins of US drug imports, elect to grow marijuana or coca instead of coffee or other agricultural goods. The US demand for drugs distorts regional economies and brings criminal activities and violence to communities across the Americas. Many proponents of marijuana decriminalization argue that compared to other substances, pot isnt that harmful to people or society. In fact, several credible and nationwide stud-

ies, including a recent report by UCSF, have shown that marijuana is less harmful than most other drugs, including tobacco. So it probably isnt a stretch to argue that a hypothetical drug trade based solely on marijuana would be largely benign and very mellow. But most international Drug Trafficking Organizations, or DTOs, dont exclusively traffic marijuana. Like any good business, they have diversified into other markets like cocaine, heroin, MDMA (ecstasy) and methamphetamine. Clearly, these are a bit more harmful and attract a much more dangerous criminal element. So with money to be made by selling all of these substances, DTOs are currently waging territorial wars versus each other and nation states in order to gain a larger market share of the US demand for drugs. Think of these skirmishes as corporate take overs, but substitute lawyers and boardrooms for Kalashnikovs and political assassinations. Much of Central and Latin America is currently caught in the midst of bitter drug-related violence, which has significantly increased in recent years in response to increased drug consumption (note: research has correlated the economic downturn with increased drug use). This violence is part of

why the US Department of State recommends that you dont travel to Mexico or much of Central America for a vacation this year. In fact, according to the United Nations, of the top 25 countries in the world with the highest murder rate, 23 are in Central and Latin America or the Caribbean. San Pedro Sula, a Honduran city and major drug distribution point, is among the most dangerous places on the planet after recording 159 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in 2011. This violence is simply a response to the massive demand for drugs in the United States. We cannot blame our Southern neighbors for drug-related crime; as entrepreneurs, they are simply validating the free markets laws of supply and demand. Instead, we must realize that our addiction is fueling drug trade in the Americas and the hundreds of thousands of deaths that are associated with it each year. President Obama returned to the US late last Sunday after attending the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Columbia. Though a Secret Service sex scandal dominated the coverage of the event, a much more important topic of discussion was the US hunger for drugs and its effect on the Caribbean and Central and Latin America. Though this was officially foreign policy trip, Mr. Obama would do well to realize that stopping drug-related violence abroad is also a domestic policy issue.

The winner, with 5460 total points, was unattached competitor Liz Roehrig. Kansas sophomore Amanda Caines finished in seventh place with 4063 points in her first collegiate heptathlon. She set

personal record, he said after the decathlon concluded. Walford said he was happy he and Barrefors were able to place first and second in most of the events. He was not surprised that Barrefors won the decathlon and finished ahead of him, because he has seen how good Barrefors is in practice. I dont do very many multievents, Barrefors said. This is my first one this year. After winning the decathlon at the Kansas Relays, Barrefors says he hopes to compete in more multi-event competitions.

Jayhawk thrower takes home first Kansas victory in Relays

mgoodwin@kansan.com Senior Alena Krechyk was the first Jayhawk to win an event of the 2012 Kansas Relays with a victory in the womens hammer throw on Thursday. Her winning throw went 66.05 meters. The throw is the best she has had at Kansas and breaks her own school record. Krechyk fouled on two of her six throws, but of her four legal throws, even the shortest of 63.55 meters would have won the competition. The native of Belarus has had a very strong final season at Kansas so far. Chris Holly, who competed unattached, won the mens hammer throw with a throw of 57.73 meters. There were no Jayhawks involved in the mens competition. Holly threw the hammer over 57 meters on three of his six attempts with only one foul. He was the 2009 junior college national champion of the hammer throw at Neosho Community College. In 2010, Holly competed for the University of Missouri, earning All-Big 12 in the hammer throw. His best collegiate throw came at the 2010 Kansas Relays, a throw of 61.42 meters, which qualified him to compete in the NCAA Championships that year. Tomaz Bogovich, competing for Kansas State, earned second place with a throw that fell just 6 inches short of Hollys winning throw. Bogovich, a senior and a native of Slovenia, is the current Kansas State school-record holder in the hammer throw.

The Jayhawk quartet of Zach Zarda, James Wilson, Josh Baden, and Evan Landes lead the mens 5,000-meter event Thursday night in the Kansas Relays.

Sutherland leaves her mark as a Jayhawk

KAthLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com Aishah Sutherland came to Lawrence on Late Night as a senior in high school in 2007 and fell in love. She chose Kansas with the goal of changing the program. She now leaves with the second most blocks in program history and a Sweet 16 appearance to go along with all the other memories. I felt like I left my mark here, Sutherland said. How we finished it was a great way to finish my senior year. Sutherland, the lone senior on the womens basketball team, was the queen of the night at the teams award banquet Wednesday night. All of her accomplishments were listed off. From when she was named an AllBig 12 Honorable Mention to when she became just the 15th Jayhawk ever to amass at least 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in her career. Coach Bonnie Henrickson told the crowd made up of family, friends and fans a story from after the Sweet 16 loss to Tennessee in Des Moines, Iowa that she said highlighted Sutherlands time at Kansas. After the loss, Henrickson asked Sutherland what she was most proud of. Sutherland quickly responded that she was proud of the fact that she never gave up. In her four years at Kansas she has seen a run to the WNIT Championship game and now a run to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament; but it didnt always come easy for Sutherland. She came to Kansas in the same class as junior guard Angel Goodrich. Goodrich received a medical redshirt after she suffered two season-ending knee injuries. Sutherland, a native from Perris, Calif., sees her family only a few times a year. But at Kansas, her teammates and coaches have become like a second family. She was vocal during the season about her goal of going to the NCAA Tournament. When they were named on Selection Monday, she couldnt wipe the smile off her face. They made the tournament despite losing one of their best players, junior forward Carolyn Davis, to an ACL injury in February. It was the adversity like Davis injury that she and her teammates overcame that made their run to the Sweet 16 even sweeter for Sutherland. It has been a journey and we have been through a lot, Sutherland said. I love those girls. Assistant coach Chester Nichols said her contributions this season were necessary for the success the team achieved in the end. We dont win without Aishah, Nichols said. The bigger the game, the bigger she played. Henrickson texted Sutherland before the tournament and told her that teams can go only as far as their seniors take them. Sutherland reassured her coach that she could lead this team. Since Sutherland helped carry the team in the tournament and kept her promise, she would be able to cherish that accomplishment for the rest of her life. It is better when she left than when she got here, Henrickson said, and that is her legacy here. Sutherland was not alone in her march to the end though. Goodrich led the team with four straight 20-point performances to end the season and valiantly lead the Jayhawks without Davis. When the decision came around for who to be named Ms. Jayhawk, an award honoring high character and high competitive drive, the staff couldnt choose between Davis and Goodrich. Instead of leaving one of the two out, the staff awarded it to both players. Those two kids are as good off the court as they are on the court and that matters, Henrickson said. The Jayhawks are back participating in individual practices and preparing for the next season. Kansas will return all of its players except Sutherland next season.

Kansas aims to keep winning streak alive

ANDREW JOSEPh
ajoseph@kansan.com Last weekend, the Kansas baseball team (15-23, 3-9 Big 12) proved they could beat the nations elite with Sundays victory against No. 2 Texas A&M. But the Jayhawks face a huge challenge this weekend in Austin, Texas. After dropping eight-straight games, Kansas enters the matchup with No. 23 Texas (21-13 Big 12 record) on its best stretch since the opening week of the season. The Jayhawks defeated a pair of NAIA schools Baker University and the University of Saint Mary during the week, and the team will need to remain focused again the Longhorns. I think the mentality is good, said junior infielder Jordan Dreiling. We have a lot of energy heading into this weekend, and I think we all believe we can win. Its going to take competing on every pitch. With only nine Big 12 schools fielding a baseball team, the top eight teams in the standings qualify for the Big 12 Tournament in Oklahoma City. The Jayhawks find themselves at a four-way tie in sixth place and have to win on the road to separate from the pack. Kansas is 0-6 in conference road games and 3-12 on the season, while the Longhorns hold a 12-4 home mark. Texas pitching staff has been almost unbeatable at home, posting under a 1.40 ERA in 16 games. Coach Ritch Price does not expect to see a lot of offense at UFCU Disch-Falk Field, so Kansas needs to perform on the basic levels of the game to have a chance. They have one of the best pitching staffs in the country, Price said of Texas. These are going to be low-scoring games. That yard is huge its one of the biggest ballparks in America were going to have to pitch, play defense and execute our short-game assignments. Sophomore pitcher Frank Duncan will start Friday night against Texas ace Nathan Thornhill. Despite limiting opposing hitters to a batting average of .204, Duncan is winless in his last seven appearances. Duncan enters Fridays start with a 3-5 record and 3.46 ERA, while Thornhill holds a 4-2 record and 3.53 ERA. Senior third baseman Zac Elgie has been Kansas offensive star this April. After struggling in March with a .254 batting average, Elgie has seen his batting average climb to .306 thanks to his .316 average in April. He has hit safely in 13 of Kansas last 14 games and knocked in four runs during the current three-game winning streak. As the Jayhawks senior leader, Elgie plans to lead by example at Texas. Any time youre getting some wins, its great, Elgie said. The biggest thing is that we have to compete. Every at bat, we have to go in with the mindset that yes, well get some outs and strike out, but we have to string good at bats together and get clutch hits. You never know what can happen down there. Edited by Anna Allen

Caps even series against champs

ASSOCIAtED PRESS
WASHINGTON Playoff rookie Braden Holtby followed up a shaky outing with a superb one by making 44 saves Thursday night, and Alexander Semin scored the go-ahead goal, leading the Washington Capitals to a 2-1 victory over the reigning Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins that tied the first-round series at two games apiece. Marcus Johansson put the puck past Tim Thomas less than 1 1/2 minutes after the opening faceoff, but Bostons Rich Peverley tied it later in the first period. Semin put Washington ahead for good with 1:17 left in the second on a powerplay goal, his second score of the series. The best-of-seven Eastern Conference series shifts back to Boston for Game 5 on Saturday. Game 6 will be in Washington on Sunday. Washington was 25-0-1 during the regular season when leading after two periods, and Holtby continued that trend, inspiring repeated chants of Holt-bee! Holt-bee! from the red-wearing spectators. After things got rowdy in Game 3, the Capitals did it with discipline Thursday: The hosts were called for only one penalty. Its been a tight series all the way, with neither team leading by more than one goal at any moment. Semin decided things Thursday by zipping a wrister from the left circle past Thomas, after Alex Ovechkin and Keith Aucoin set it up with assists. That came on Washingtons third power play of the game. The Bruins had zero extra-skater chances through the first two periods, as the Capitals played precisely the type of quiet hockey that their coach, Dale Hunter, said he really wanted to see Washington needed all of 82 seconds to take the lead, thanks to the tweaked top line of Ovechkin, Johansson and Brooks Laich.

The last chance for Jayhawks

cORBIN MIhELIc
cmihelic@kansan.com
Its now or never for the Kansas tennis team, at least in terms of getting a win in conference dual play. The Jayhawks, who havent won against any conference teams and have now lost 11 of their last 13 matches, will have one more chance to win a Big 12 match Saturday in Manhattan against No. 71 Kansas State. The match, which is the last for both teams, is set to begin at 1 p.m. Any loss is tough regardless of who it is, coach Amy Hall-Holt said. We want to beat everybody possible, and thats the way we go in. We dont try to have added pressure because its Missouri or K-State or anything. K-State is 7-13 overall this season and had lost six matches in a row before squeaking out victories against Iowa State and Missouri last weekend (both 4-3). The Wildcats currently have two singles players ranked in the nations Top 125: sophomore Petra Niedermayerova (No. 27) and junior Karla Bonacic (No. 101). As doubles partners, Niedermayerova and Bonacic are currently No. 78 in the country as well. Its Kansas State, so its kind of like Missouri, I guess, said sophomore Paulina Los referring to the rivalry. Its just one more match before Big 12s, so we just want to do our best in the last match. Junior Monica Pezzotti said that the Jayhawks problem is as much mental as anything. It also doesnt help that eight different Big 12 teams were nationally ranked at some point this season the only two that havent been are Kansas and Iowa State. With Baylor, we lost 4-3, Pezzotti said. Its matches where they are some of the best in the conference. We were right there, so we need to build our confidence and believe in ourselves that we can beat those teams. After playing K-State, all Big 12 teams will travel to College Station, Texas, for the Big 12 Championships, which begin April 26. The Jayhawks, who havent won a match at the conference tournament since 2008, will likely be the No. 10 seed and could face the Wildcats yet again in the first round of the tournament. I think its our minds, Pezzotti said. We think, Oh, were playing against Baylor or Texas, since they are top teams. We need to have the belief that we can win and be at the top of the conference.

Orioles continue road-game success

ASSOcIAtED PRESS
CHICAGO Jason Hammel struck out 10 and closer Jim Johnson fanned Alex Rios with the bases loaded Thursday to preserve the Baltimore Orioles 5-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. Adam Jones hit his fifth homer of the season and an RBI double. Hes gone deep four times in the first seven games of Baltimores 10game road trip. The two-run shot in the fifth inning was his first this year with a runner on base. The game was briefly delayed in the top of the seventh when a young boy who appeared to about 4 or 5 years old slipped through a barricade and went running across the outfield. With the crowd laughing, White Sox left fielder Dayan Viciedo scooped him up and handed him over to a security guard. Hammel (2-0) matched a career high for strikeouts, doing it in just six innings. He worked out of trouble early, leaving the bases loaded in the first and third. Johnson earned his sixth save. He has converted 14 straight chances dating to last season. Hammel bested Gavin Floyd (1-2), who allowed five runs and six hits in six innings. Adam Dunn had a walk, an RBI double and scored for Chicago. He extended his streak of getting on base to six appearances before striking out his next two times up, increasing his AL-high total to 21. Dunn singled with two outs in the ninth, moving pinch-runner Brent Morel to third, and Paul Konerko was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Rios struck out looking to end the game. The Orioles won three of four from Chicago and have won their first two road series of the season, including two of three at Toronto last weekend. Baltimore won just five road series last season. Jones doubled during a two-run first. In the fifth, after J.J. Hardys sacrifice fly broke a 2-all tie, Jones hit a full-count fastball from Floyd into the left-field seats. Endy Chavez reached bases three times and scored two runs for Baltimore.

Bowling team heading to nationals once again

For the second consecutive season, the Kansas mens bowling team is competing in the national bowling championship tournament. Kansas, ranked 19th in the nation, will participate in the 2012 United states bowling Congress intercollegiate Team Championships, which spans from April 18 to April 22 in lincoln, neb. Kansas won the national championship in 2004. last season, it tied for seventh place. Our expectations are high going in, said matt Washford, the team captain. And our team wholly believes that we have a shot to win the title this year as long as we do what we need to do and execute shots.

The top four of 16 teams for mens and womens fields advanced to the tournament. Wichita state joins Kansas as the only other in-state school to compete in the tournament. Going into sectionals with five seniors, i felt confident that we would make the cut to qualify for nationals, coach burton Gepford said. This year, we will not be going into nationals blind, since we competed in nationals last year. We will use that experience, hard work and determination to make a run at this years national championship. The championships are viewable on livestream, YouTube or bowlTV. Updates will be available on the teams Facebook page.

Jayhawks planning to sweep away Cyclones

ALEc tILSON
atilson@kansan.com With 11 regular season games remaining, this weekends threegame series again Iowa State (1328, 1-11) means crunch time. Kansas (26-15, 3-12) will need to win against the last place Cyclones to reach NCAA Regionals next month. Sometimes if you stress too much or want it too much, it doesnt happen for you, coach Megan Smith said. We just need to take a deep breath and we need to play our game and whatever happens, happens. Smith said she expects three tough games against a team that is very similar to us. Kansas offense, now ranked fourth in the Big 12 with a .286 batting average, continues to hit, in large part because of the emergence of two freshmen infielders: Chanin Naudin and Maddie Stein. Naudin is 18-for-30 (.600) during her current 10-game hitting streak and has taken full advantage of hitting in the third spot in the lineup. In that stretch, she has collected five doubles, two home runs and 12 RBIs. Stein has also provided consistency in the lineup. Stein has 11 hits in nine games since she got regular playing time on April 1 against Oklahoma. Its been really cool to see some freshman step up who maybe were a little nervous at the start of the season, who have completely busted out of their shell, junior outfielder Rosie Hull said. Added Smith of Steins approach to the game after waiting her turn to crack the lineup: That girl works hard. She studies the game, she asks questions, she wants to know why, and what she should be looking for. Shes a student of the game. Junior outfielder Maggie Hull has been a strong presence throughout the season. Shes tied for the league lead with 53 hits and 12 doubles and is third in the conference batting .398 on the year. Her twin sister, Rosie, called her the strongest mental player I think Ive ever known. Kansas hopes to exploit an Iowa State pitching staff that carries a league-worst 7.07 ERA a far cry from the sub-2.00 team ERAs of Oklahoma, Missouri and Baylor. For the Kansas pitching staff,

it expects to face a strong ISU offense, one similar to Kansas lineup. Both teams have 52 doubles on the season, while the Cyclones have 30 home runs to Kansas 25. Junior pitcher Morgan Druhan hopes to improve on a 175-pitch, 10-walk outing against Texas last weekend. Im definitely going to make sure Im hitting my spots a little bit better and not walking as many, Druhan said. Other than that, keeping the same mentality of going after hitters and taking care of business. Its not every weekend Kansas faces a sub.500 club in the Big 12 Conference. In order to reach postseason competition, Smith said Kansas couldnt ease up at this point. Sometimes at the end of the season you can coast; were not doing that, Smith said. Were pushing them even harder now, trying to lock in. But staying relaxed because, at the end of the day, whatever is going to happen is out of our hands. The series begins Friday night at 5 p.m. It is scheduled to continue Saturday at 2 p.m. and wraps up on Sunday beginning at noon. Edited by Tanvi Nimkar

Kansas Relays move to Memorial Stadium

mAx GooDwIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com The sun reflects brightly off the empty bleachers of Memorial Stadium while coach Elisha Brewer sits a few rows from the track watching the Kansas sprinters finish practice. Friday and Saturday they will be racing on this same track in the Kansas Relays, but with thousands of people in attendance. Right now coach Brewer appears to be the only one watching. During the past eight years that Brewer has coached sprints and hurdles, her athletes have almost entirely rewritten the record books at Kansas. Nobody gives you permission to run fast, you take that. Brewer says to sophomore sprinter Shawn Smith as he stands on the track after finishing his last sprints of the day. What you have to do is you have to take the disappointment away by taking control of your own success and I think it is that simple. Smith seems to understand. Focus on what I can control, he says. Exactly, Brewer responds. I give this energy in practice and I think it carries over to competition, and I think they expect it, Brewer said of her athletes. Though she didnt know if she would one day coach, she has always possessed a sense of natural leadership. Even in her days as an AllAmerican in the 55-meter dash at Arkansas, Brewer was coaching her teammates. It just wasnt until years later that she realized it. One of the biggest stories this outdoor season for Kansas on the track has been the success of junior Paris Daniels. Last Saturday in the UTEP Invitational, Daniels reached the B-provisional qualification mark for the Olympic trials in the 200-meters the same event in which she was crowned junior college national champion last year at Coffeyville before transferring to Kansas. As a coach, Brewer is always looking for ways that her athletes can improve. Even Daniels could potentially make improvements in technique, Brewer said. Paris is a competitor, thats one thing that Ive learned about her. she said. I think shes very coachable. She listens, she wants to be successful, and she wants to help the team. Most people would say they need someone to push them to run fast Brewer said. I think for her she just needs a meet. She just needs the gun to go off for her to understand Im trying to get from this line to that line the fastest I can. I think it has to do with the competitive spirit inside of her. Paris is excited to compete in her first outdoor home meet as a Jayhawk this weekend. Ive always heard about the Kansas Relays, and I finally get a chance to experience it, Daniels said. Once the actual races start and the competitiveness kicks in for Daniels, there is one voice that she will likely hear above the noise of the crowd: coach Brewers. Edited by Anna Allen Junior sprinter Paris daniels leads the pack including teammate junior denesha Morris during the Jayhawk classic womens 200 meter dash on Jan. 27. daniels won the event in 24.24 seconds.

Wishful slogan backfires on KC Royals

ince its first utterance by team management, one phrase has haunted Royals fans across the country. This phrase, shown during commercial breaks of virtually every game this season, has turned into a national joke and a rally cry for general manager Dayton Moores non-believers: Our Time. A team with one winning season since 1994 and no playoff appearances since 1985 has the audacity to run a marketing campaign with the slogan Our Time. The same team that today is known less for George Brett and more for Ken Harvey meeting the tarp, Chip Ambres dropped popup, Ken Harveys back meeting a ball thrown to home plate, 19 straight losses in 2005 and Ken Harveys fist meeting Jason Grimsleys face. And as the losses pile up, only one question remains for the long-time fans of this snake-bitten organization: What else could have happened? If there are baseball gods the Royals organization is proof that they have a sense of humor. The Royals have now lost seven straight,

mgalloway@kansan.com beginning with a back-to-back hit-by-pitch walk-off against Oakland and six consecutive losses at home to start the season. No Royals team in history has ever done that. And so naturally the Our Time catchphrase has evolved into a sarcastic, backhanded hashtag on Twitter. Drew Smyly shuts down your teams offense? #OurTime. Prince Fielder steals a base off your teams defense-first catcher? #OurTime. Your team has as many benches-clearing confrontations as wins by April 20? #OurTime. Cleveland Indians closer Chris Perez, whose squad swept the Royals last weekend, seemed to be motivated by the Our Time

nonsense after his teams second of three victories. Huge team win tonight, Perez wrote on his Twitter account, @ChrisPerez54, Time for a sweep to tell the Royals its not Our Time, its #TribeTime. You know youve hit a new low when Cleveland is talking smack. Our Time has received so much scrutiny that on Monday, #AlternateRoyalsSlogans was trending nationally on Twitter. And while even the most cynical fans did not predict a seven-game losing streak by April 18, the question remains: Who in the Royals marketing department couldnt have seen this coming? The teams fourth starter, Luis Mendoza, is prospect roadkill. New closer Jonathan Broxtons ERA last season was almost as rotund as he is. The team has started two former Houston Astros backups in its last two games. The organization demoted promising rookie second baseman Johnny Giavotella for defensive purposes, opting to go with a platoon of Chris Getz and Yuniesky Betancourt at the position instead.

Yuniesky Betancourt. Defensive purposes. Let that sink in for a second. Yes, the season is still young, as are most of the key players. It would take an extraordinary failure for the Royals to reach my pessimistic preseason prediction of 100 losses. But the Our Time slogan has already made the team and its fans look delusional and undeservedly braggadocios. Now its time for Royals fans to put this expectation-inflating nightmare slogan where it belongs: in the deepest, darkest corner of their minds, alongside Gil Meches 132-pitch game, Juan Gonzalezs contract and Ken Harveys token All-Star Game appearance.

long jump and triple jump that season. Manning will also be competing in the triple jump later this weekend. In preparation for that event she jumped off her other foot during the long jump. Considering the recent change, she was pleased with her performance, but said there is a lot of work to do. Late in the competition, the DJ switched her walk-up song to the Kansas fight song. She followed with her best jump of the night for 5.98m. It was pretty cool, I almost cried, Manning said. Tori Polk finished second with her best jump remaining 6.43m from the fourth attempt. Brianna Glenn took third with 6.37m on her best jump. Rose Richmond was a 2004 Olympian and she trains in Lawrence throughout the season. She got off to a strong start improving in her each jump in her first couple attempts, but peaked with a 6.36m jump before finishing with two scratches in her last three attempts. She was disappointed with how it ended, but her consistency in the early jumps was encouraging. Edited by Max Lush

rmccarthy@kansan.com rack and field is one of those tricky sports that we only pay attention to every four years. Its kind of like that yearbook collecting dust on your shelf. You really like the memories, but its only worth opening up once in a while. But regardless if its an Olympic year or not, Lawrence gives all of the athletes competing at the Kansas Relays its full attention for one weekend of April whether the Olympics are on display or not. The Kansas Relays are a special campus tradition right up there with waving the wheat and the Rock Chalk chant. Throughout the storied history of the Kansas Relays, its always been looking off as a jumping point for the summer track and field season. But like many things outside the confines of Allen Fieldhouse it doesnt get the recognition by the student body. Heres what I can tell you about these track athletes: They are persistent and focused. For the most part they all run, jump and chuck through injuries of all sorts. Usually throughout a season, a track athlete gets clipped in a race, blisters open up on the foot, or maybe a stress fracture impedes them from running at 100 percent. And you know what? They keep going. These are fascinating athletes whove homed their body to perform in a specific event that makes them run the longest, sprint the quickest or throw the farthest. Each one has a unique set of qualities to them. The most interesting part of track athletes is the camaraderie that they share with their teammates. Many of them spend countless hours training with their fellow runners so there are usually two options: Either hate the person, or learn to like them. From my experience around track athletes, its usually the latter. Theyre a tight-knit group who realize this is their time to shine. People dont notice their hard work throughout the year, but right now people are paying attention to them. Not just because its an Olympic year, but also because the Jayhawks have put together a solid showing this year. The womens team took second at the NCAA indoors in March. They also had two NCAA champions in the 400-meter. Sprinter Diamond Dixon, Dixon, a sophomore from Houston, will be someone to watch during the next couple of months, as we get closer to the Olympic Trials. She will not only dazzle in the NCAAs or the outdoor Big 12 Championships, but look for her to possibly make some noise in Eugene, Ore., when Americas eyes are on the best group of athletes competing for a plane ticket to London gor the Olympics. Results are important, but not everything for a track and field athlete. More than anything they want to stick out to everyone thats actually paying attention, before theyre put back on the shelf until 2016. Edited by Anna Allen

Janay DeLoach is enjoying her first trip to Kansas. Thursday night she competed in the unique downtown long jump and quickly became a crowd favorite. The fans are closer to you and they get to really see what it is like up close and personal, DeLoach said. I like to put on a little bit of a show, so I liked it. She came to the Kansas Relays as the defending USA Indoor champion in the long jump. After a couple hours she left with another victory, claiming the Long Jump title in Lawrence. With her attempt, DeLoach set a high precedent clearing 6.37 meters which led competition for the first four rounds. Tori Polk pulled ahead with a jump of 6.43m on her third attempt, but one round later DeLoach recorded a jump of 6.61m which won her the title. DeLoach was the most consistent of the jumpers, only being disqualified once. This was her first outdoor meet of the season and she said she still has a lot to do before she can go where she wants to. The one and only goal this season is to make it to the Olympics, DeLoach said. While DeLoach had never been to Kansas, the athlete who followed her has quite the presence on campus and in the Relays. Kansas graduate Crystal Manning finished seventh, but garnered the loudest cheers from the Jayhawk faithful. It is unexplainable, it is just great to be back home, Manning said. Everyone shows you so much love. She graduated in 2008 and earned All-American honors that year. She was also the Big 12 Indoor Champion in the

kcarpenter@kansan.com Southern Methodist University officially named Larry Brown as head coach of the mens basketball team on Thursday. Brown, a Hall of Famer, spent the past season spending time with different college programs across the country, most notably with Bill Self and Kansas. He could be found sitting directly behind the Kansas bench on numerous occasions throughout the season. Brown began his coaching career in 1973 with the Carolina Cougars of the ABA and has coached at a number of places since, most recently with the NBAs Charlotte Bobcats in 2010. Hes the only coach to win an NCAA championship (Kansas, 1988) and an NBA championship (Detroit Pistons, 2004). Ive built so many relationships in the basketball world and my success has been due to the coaches Ive played for and the players Ive coached, Brown said in a statement Thursday according to smumustangs.com. I want to thank them all. I always thought of myself as a college coach and this gives me a wonderful chance to get back where I started. At 71 years old, Brown will be coaching his 13th team next season with the Mustangs. The Mustangs

will be playing basketball in the Big East conference beginning in 2013. Brown is the 6th winningest coach in NBA history with 1,098 victories and has spent the majority of his coaching career at the professional level. He coached at Kansas from 1983-1988 where he compiled a record of 135-44 over five seasons, highlighted by the 1988 national championship. While in Lawrence he gave Bill Self his first job as an assistant in 1985 as well as working with John Calipari the two years before. Larry Brown is one of the top coaches in the history of the game, SMU athletic director Steve Orsini said. He is a legend and has made every team he has ever coached a winner. As we transition into the nations top basketball conference, the Big East, his leadership will be invaluable. Brown will look to guide the Mustangs to their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1993. Athletics is an integral part of SMU and developing a winning basketball program will dramatically increase our national profile, SMU President Dr. R. Gerald Turner said. While providing a rallying point for our students, alumni, faculty, staff and the city of Dallas. Edited by Max Lush
