breakinG the habit
Electronic cigarettes provide a healthier alternative to tobacco and can help smokers reduce their nicotine intake
wiChita state
dominates
jenna jakowatz
jjakowatz@kansan.com
The electronic cigarette,
also known by its nickname
the e-cig, is changing the way
people smoke. Except theres no
smoke involved.
Eric Adell, a senior from
Olathe, picked up his electronic
cigarette three months ago in his
efforts to quit smoking.
I started using an e-cig as a
way to quit smoking, Adell said.
Ive tried other things before,
but so far this is the only method
that has been really effective for
me.
The electronic cigarette was
originally invented in the 1960s,
but did not make a full appear-
ance on the market until 2008.
The number of people using
the electronic cigarette has been
increasing steadily over the past
couple of years. The appeal of
the electronic cigarette is that
it does not contain the harmful
chemicals that regular cigarettes
include, and it emits water vapor
rather than toxic smoke.
The main concern, however, is
that there are very limited stud-
ies available that deduce what
the exact health effects of the
electronic cigarette are. Doctors
and consumers alike cannot say
for sure if the electronic ciga-
rette is any safer than a regular
cigarette.
In December, the FDA held
a public hearing on nicotine
replacement therapies, and one
of the main focuses was on elec-
tronic cigarettes. Dr. Gilbert Ross
from the American Council on
Science and Health spoke at the
hearing in support of electronic
cigarettes. Ross is certain that the
electronic cigarette is safer than a
regular cigarette.
The substances that are being
provided in e-cigarettes water,
glycerin or propylene glycol, and
vaporized nicotine at various
dosages are quite benign and,
at worst, far less harmful than
the products of tobacco combus-
tion, Ross said at the hearing.
Ross explains that electronic
cigarettes should be praised, not
punished, because they do not
emit harmful smoke and chemi-
cals like regular cigarettes.
Electronic cigarettes, of
course, are not cigarettes. Theyre
nicotine delivery devices, Ross
said.
Craving nicotine is the main
challenge smokers face when
they decide to quit. Adell says
that the electronic cigarette has
helped him reduce his nicotine
intake significantly.
I think e-cigs are so effective
in quitting smoking because they
mimic the behavior of smok-
ing while satisfying the need for
nicotine, but at the same time,
you can consciously reduce the
amount of nicotine that you are
consuming. Its a way of out-
smarting your addiction, Adell
said.
Ryan Hughes, a sophomore
from Redlands, Calif., also
smokes electronic cigarettes, and
says overall, the electronic ciga-
rette is better for smokers.
The e-cigs always last longer
then regular cigarettes, Hughes
said. Theres not as much nico-
tine in e-cigs, so youre able to
mimic a lighter, less full-bodied
feeling of smoking as opposed to
a regular cigarette,.
Adell says theyre cheaper,
too.
The kit initially cost me
around $40 and came with a
rechargeable battery and a small
bottle of liquid nicotine, Adell
said. I spend about $10 a week
on flavored nicotine liquid. You
can buy cheaper stuff, but I find
that its worth it to spend a little
more on a higher quality brand,
and you get a better selection of
flavors. Compared to smoking a
pack a day, e-cigarettes are sig-
nificantly cheaper.
Adell says that nicotine depen-
dence is not something that can
be easily stopped, but the elec-
tronic cigarette is making prog-
ress for eliminating his addic-
tion.
Most people dont really
understand how powerful
nicotine dependence is, Adell
said. It completely subverts any
rational decision-making pro-
cesses. It doesnt matter that you
know its going to give you can-
cer, or that it is unattractive, or
that it makes you smell offen-
sive. Psychologically, you just
have to have it. Since I started
using an e-cig I have dramatically
decreased the amount of nicotine
I use, and hope to be using only
flavored liquid with zero nicotine
within the next month.

It should be as easy as throw-
ing something away.
This is the motto that Manny
Abarca believes should represent
the ease and importance of the
Universitys recycling program.
After arriving at the University
two months ago, Abarca, recy-
cling operations coordinator, saw
a number of flaws limiting the
programs success. For example,
trash cans outnumber recycling
bins 20:1 on Jayhawk Boulevard.
Recycling at the University is a
completely student-funded pro-
gram, and the majority of it is
student-run as well.
During the day, two shifts of
students travel around campus
in the three recycling trucks to
collect recycling bins from each
building and transport it to the
warehouse. There its processed,
meaning students touch every
bottle, can and piece of paper
that comes through. After sort-
ing, the material is baled with like
products and loaded on a trailer
making the trip to Kansas City
every couple of weeks.
You have a unique program
at KU, Abarca said. Not a lot of
institutions around the country
run a recycling plant; they simply
just throw it in a dumpster and
someone takes it, and after that,
no one really cares about it. Here
we actually process all of it.
In addressing the programs
concerns, Abarca plans to take
advantage of opportunities to
increase awareness and solve sus-
tainability issues on campus.
Weve got a lot of progress
ahead of us, Abarca said. We
have a lot of opportunity to make
this the best recycling program
and institution in the region and
in the country. I want to go for
the top.
In fact, the keystone in Abarcas
office is a white board full of to-do
lists, outlines of goals and needs,
along with the words pride and
effectiveness. Currently, some
bigger issues he is looking to
improve are recycling within
the athletics program and in the
Greek community.
He also emphasized the impor-
tance of working with these com-
munities and the city of Lawrence,
who recently approved a citywide
curbside recycling program to
begin in October 2014.
Weve got to work hand in
hand with the city of Lawrence,
with our external neighbors like
Greek life and the Greek commu-
nity, to foster those relationships
and really build programs that
really garner everyones attention
and support.
This issue echoes a similar
one he found himself facing as
a student at the University of
Central Missouri. Inspired by a
friends comment, Abarca created
a student administrative office
for sustainability, and by the time
he left, he had taken the four
recycling bins on campus and
turned them into 4,500.
One way to accomplish this
at the University, Abarca said,
is a rebranding of the program
and an increase in infrastructure.
What revenue the program does
receive is only serving to main-
tain it, but Abarca wants to go
beyond what is there already.
Student Senate recently
approved a $.70 student fee
increase to be distributed to the
recycling program. By redesign-
ing the bins and increasing the
number in the community and
on campus, he hopes to encour-
age a recycling culture.
Were at an institution of high-
er education. Albarca said. Why
shouldnt we be the ones leading
that? You are the future leaders
of tomorrow. If we dont establish
those habits and goals now, whats
going to happen later?
Blaine Bengtson, a junior from
Salina, has worked for the KU
Center for Sustainability that
houses KU Recycling for more
than a year, and is the director
of Recycle and Blue, KU, an
organization created to enhance
and expand game day recycling
efforts during football season.
He said working for the pro-
gram has opened his eyes to a
variety of sustainability issues.
Students can be more eco-
friendly by focusing on the small
things, he said. Things like flip-
ping off the lights when you leave
a room, taking shorter showers,
or throwing your plastic into a
blue bin instead of a black bin
are so simple, but can go so far in
having a positive impact.
Small changes can influence
the environment, and Bengtson
wants to see the University con-
sider their effects in other areas.
If I could do one thing to
change the KU approach to sus-
tainability, it would be shifting
from smaller incremental chang-
es we currently make to making
sustainability a top priority in
every decision, he said.
He hopes increasing attention
will persuade students to do the
same.
If students at KU understand
that they go to a university that
prioritizes sustainability, it makes
sense that they would learn the
importance of living sustainably
and apply it to the rest of their
lives, Bengtson said. I think
thats why its so important that
we not only talk about sustain-
ability, but also make sure were
actually living it out.
Grace Scrivo, a senior from
Overland Park, was looking for
something more exciting than
watching a clock from behind
a desk when she found KU
Recycling.
Her passion for the environ-
ment was already there, but she
was lacking in knowledge and
experience. Now, as a crew lead-
er, she oversees and manages

other recycling technicians in addi-
tion to collecting the recycling and
other warehouse responsibilities.
After seeing all of the waste
that our campus accumulates, and
knowing that what we recycle is
only a fraction of what we could
be taking out of the campus waste
stream, I have realized that sustain-
ability itself is an issue to which our
campus unfortunately does not pay
enough attention, Scrivo said.
To minimize individual waste,
Scrivo said buying in bulk instead
of smaller packages at the grocery
store is an easy and cost-effective
way to go green.
Most people, especially college
age, dont realize that many sus-
tainable practices save them money
as well as the environment, she
said.
Understanding a footprint, an
individual, and consequently, a
campus, is key in shifting attitudes
and taking action to recycle.
Everything has value, its just
how high a value youre placing
on things, Abarca said. Its just
about reusing that material or
understanding that resource is still
a resource. Just because its in a
trashcan doesnt mean its waste.

TUESDAY SPECIAL
Te Kansas Senate passed House
Bill 2253 Monday, all but confrm-
ing one of the most comprehensive
anti-abortion bills in the country.
Te bill needs only Gov. Sam
Brownbacks signature something
he has pledged to provide before
it becomes law.
Included in the bill are provi-
sions that prohibit tax exemp-
tions, credits and deductions from
aiding abortion providers and
women who receive abortions. It
also forbids an employee, agent or
volunteer of an abortion services
provider from speaking or provid-
ing materials regarding sexuality
or sexually transmitted diseases in
public schools. Te bill states, Te
life of each human being begins at
fertilization.
Among the groups that testifed
in support of the bill is Kansans for
Life, the state af-
fliate of the Na-
tional Right to
Life Committee
and the largest
pro-life organi-
zation in Kansas.
Kathy Ostrowski
has been legisla-
tive director for
11 years.
Its a modest
bill that accom-
plishes several
things, Ostrowski said. First, it re-
tracts any tax advantages for abor-
tion businesses or tax funding for
abortions. Second, it provides an
underpinning for legislative deci-
sions in Kansas which prefer child-
birth and adoption to abortion.
And third, it ensures the informed
consent of women considering an
abortion.
Te bill ad-
dresses womens
r i ght - t o- know
statutes by re-
quiring clinics to
provide patients
with printed
materials about
agencies that can
assist with preg-
nancy and child-
birth, probable
anatomical and
physiological characteristics of the
unborn child at two-week gesta-
tional increments from fertiliza-
tion to full term and controversial
information about the medical
risks commonly associated with
each such procedure including the
risk of breast cancer. Te American
Cancer Society reports that no link
exists between medically induced
abortions and breast cancer.
Ostrowski argues that women
are entitled to all available infor-
mation about abortion even if it
is disputed by many researchers in
the medical community.
Te Kansas Department of
Health and Environment has writ-
ten this, not Kansans for Life, she
said, We dont want to promote
bogus science. We want families
to think about the destruction of a
human being.
Nicki Rose, intern for the Em-
ily Taylor Center for Women and
Gender Equity, expressed her per-
sonal reservations about the bill.
Every time a legislature even
discusses a bill like this, they are
deciding whether or not women
are capable of making the right
choice, the moral choice, the choice
that best serves all parties involved,
including the pregnancy in ques-
tion, Rose said. When they pass
bills like this, legislators are telling
women that we cannot be trusted
to make the right choices in our
lives.
Ostrowski insists that the pri-
mary aim of Kansans for Life is to
change society more than pass a
ban on abortion.
Were trying to use every tool to
show that abortion is a bad thing
on so many levels morally, bio-
logically and civically, Ostrowski
said. We want to make abortion
unthinkable.

reshad riddle appears in Ashtabula Municipal court yesterday in Ashtabula, ohio. riddle went to the Hiawatha church of
God in christ and killed his father, 52-year-old richard riddle, with a single shot from a handgun Sunday afternoon. riddle
is charged with aggravated murder and two weapons counts.
ASHTABULA, Ohio Pan-
icked witnesses to a fatal Easter
service shooting in Ohio feared
many might be killed as the vic-
tims son approached the pulpit,
waving a handgun and yelling
about God and Allah.
Tragic as it is, it could have
been so much worse, Rev. Steve
Sargent, associate pastor of the
Hiawatha Church of God in Christ
in Ashtabula, said Monday as he
pointed out where the gunman
moved through the sanctuary.
Michael Woford, 59, a worship-
per who attended Sundays service
with his wife and two grandchil-
dren, said he feared a shooting
rampage afer the gunman fnished
his spiel from the pulpit area.
Is he going to just walk out of
the church or is he going to start
shooting people at random, Wof-
ford asked in the church vestibule.
Sooner or later hes going to run
out of words. It could have been
much worse.
Police say Reshad Riddle, 28,
went to the church and killed his
father, 53-year-old Richard Riddle,
with a single shot from a handgun
Sunday afernoon.
Te suspect appeared Monday
in Ashtabula Municipal Court with
his ankles and wrists shackled.
Riddle made rambling com-
ments about God and said he
wanted to be treated fairly. Te
judge agreed to appoint a public
defender.
Te prosecutor asked for $1 mil-
lion bail and, if he makes it, a psy-
chiatric evaluation and 24-hour
monitoring.
Ann Riddle, sister of the victim
and aunt of the suspect, said later
the family knew of no possible
motive.
Riddle, receiving friends at the
family home, called her brother a
loving and caring family member.
He was a devoted family member,
he was always there for the family.
He cared a lot about people, said
Riddle, who declined to comment
on other aspects of the case.
Afer shooting the victim, the
gunman then walked down the
side aisle of the church, decorated
with lilies for Easter, and sent pan-
icked worshippers crawling over
blue padded pews, running for the
doors and climbing out windows
in adjacent rooms.
He seemed to be like he was
deranged. I dont know if he was
on something, Sargent said while
arranging a group counseling ses-
sion for traumatized church mem-
bers.
My suspicion is that he may
have been on something, some
mind-altering chemical that
caused him to act out like he did.
Associate Pastor Sean Adams
told Te (Ashtabula) Star Beacon
newspaper that Reshad Riddle
walked through the church, still
holding the gun, and yelled that
the killing was the will of Allah.
Tis is the will of God.
Some worshippers hid in a
bathroom until police arrived, ac-
cording audio of a 911 call made
from the restroom. Te female
caller told a dispatcher shed seen
the armed man, wearing black and
red, walk across the yard quickly.
We can hear him. Hes got a
gun, and hes in there trying to
preach, she says, pleading for po-
lice to come quickly while yelling
is heard intermittently in the back-
ground. Ofcers arrived and ap-
prehended the suspect within four
minutes of her call.
Ashtabula Police Chief Robert
Stell said the younger Riddle of-
fered no motive for the shooting.
Witnesses at the scene said the
shooter entered church and made
some references to Allah, but we
are not sure if that was a motive
or if there was a family problem,
Stell said. Tere is no indication
that the father and son had a bad
relationship. Everyone thinks this
was very surprising.
Court records show Reshad
Riddle has an extensive criminal
record.
Ashtabula County Common
Pleas Court records show he was
arrested and charged with two
counts of felonious assault, kid-
napping, abduction and tampering
with evidence in 2006.
Records show that in 2007, Re-
shad Riddle was charged with fe-
lonious assault, and in 2009 he was
charged with possession of drugs,
tampering with evidence and pos-
session of cocaine.
According to police reports, one
of the felonious assault charges
stemmed from an incident when
Reshad Riddle allegedly attempted

Joseph Cellitti said the young

HARRISBURG, Pa. Demo-
cratic U.S. Sen. Bob Casey an-
nounced Monday that he favors
gay marriage, the latest of several
lawmakers to change positions
on the issue now before the U.S.
Supreme Court.
Casey said he made the shif
afer reviewing the legal, public
policy and civil rights questions
involved and letters from Penn-
sylvania families.
If two people of the same sex
fall in love and want to marry,
why would our government
stand in the way? Casey said.
At a time when many Americans
lament a lack of commitment
in our society between married
men and women, why would we
want less commitment and fewer
strong marriages?
In November, as Casey suc-
cessfully sought a second term,
he said he favored same-sex civil
unions but did not take a posi-
tion on same-sex marriage. He
previously voted to let gays and
lesbians serve openly in the mili-
tary and to repeal the dont ask,
dont tell policy.
Elected public ofcials have
an abiding obligation to refrain
from demonizing and dividing
people for partisan or political
gain, Casey said. Rather, Dem-
ocrats and Republicans should
come together and fnd areas of
agreement to do whats best for
the country, including lesbian
and gay Americans.
Last week the U.S. Supreme
Court heard oral arguments in a
pair of cases that could dramati-
cally alter the legal landscape for
gay marriage.
One of the cases involves the
Defense of Marriage of Act,
which prevents legally married
gay couples from receiving fed-
eral benefts available to others.
Casey said he now wants to re-
peal the law, signed by President
Bill Clinton in 1996.
Te executive director of
Equality Pennsylvania, a politi-
cal advocacy group for gays, les-
bians, bisexuals and transgender
people, said his members logged
about 10,000 calls to Casey in re-
cent weeks to urge him to make
such an announcement.
I hope what it means for where
the state is going is that people
are truly starting to use the issue
of marriage to understand why
marriage equality is important
but also in general how we treat
gay citizens in Pennsylvania, ex-
ecutive director Ted Martin said.
Caseys announcement, Mar-
tin said, gives elected ofcials
the ability to look at these issues
and understand you can come to
a conclusion afer thinking about
them.
Several other Democratic sen-
ators who, like Casey, represent
swing states, have recently made
similar announcements.
Sen. Rob Portman, a Repub-
lican from Ohio, announced his
support for gay marriage in states
that choose to allow it, saying his
stance began to change in 2011,
when his college-age son told
him he was gay.

T
he flood of red equality
pictures on social media
seemed to catch most of
us off guard. The conversation
crept up on us, and suddenly
most allies seemed to have
no clue what they were talking
about.
Im an armchair liberal who
sits on the floor. Im barely half
a step above slacktivist and a full
10 steps below anyone alive in
the 60s.
Ive picked up a sign on an
embarrassingly few occasions
and have spent most of my time
repeating the words of people
who are much smarter and more
involved than Ill ever be. I take
every chance I get to fight the
Facebook good fight and take
personal offense to anyone who
disagrees.
So when suddenly dozens of
arguments began opening up
across my Facebook feed, ranging
from the legitimacy of the gay
movement to the strangely low-
resolution equal sign everyone
was sporting, I knew my time
had come. Here was my chance
to eloquently defend an issue Id
immersed myself in. This was
my time to shine in front of my
peers.
I ate concrete. I flopped and
then some. Everything I typed
was torn apart and dumped
in the river with cinder blocks
chained around its ankles.
Despite cowering behind the
shield of my computer screen, I
was hurt.
The thing is there are very few
in our generation who are against
gay marriage in the first place,
much less in my friend list. When
hackles are raised and theres no
one to use as a scapegoat, whole
groups of overzealous college
liberals turn on one another. A
vitriolic comment thread gets lost
in the details of Bible verses no
one has actually read and mis-
used phrases like discourse and
Queer oppression.
After failing so hard in what I
considered home territory, I real-
ized something: Even if Ive read
every LGBTQ book and article,
seen every French art-house film,
and have 10,000 gay best friends
theres nothing that I can legiti-
mately contribute to a conversa-
tion that is way beyond me. The
number of bumper stickers Ive
managed to scrape together and
the deluge of social media trends
Ive tagged along with dont
change the fact that I was raised
in a predominately white, hetero-
normative society.
A perspective formed by expe-
rience is infinitely more valuable
than one formed by second-hand
accounts. Thats why videos of
George Takei discussing LGBTQ
politics have millions of views
and my 200-word comment on
someones Facebook status has,
at best two likes.
In a weird way, the arguments
from the anti-gay crowd on
Facebook are more legitimate
than mine. Those are personally
formed and crafted while mine
are poorly paraphrased versions
of a Rachel Maddow interview
from 2010. Im not even a drop
in the ocean. Im a thimble full
of water scooped out and gently
lowered right back in.
Is it sad that it took me this
long to realize Im an idiot? Ill
chalk it up to youthful ignorance.
So I clicked up a new profile
picture and cut off all the argu-
ments I had started so hastily. If
I am going to be an ally of the
LGBTQ community, then it will
be with my vote and a very spar-
ingly used, positive voice. No
one logs onto Facebook ready to
have his or her mind changed, so
why bother with the frustration
and tension? From now on Ill sit
down, shut up and learn from the
people who actually know what
theyre talking about.

B
y now, maybe youre
thinking about your next
semesters class schedule.
Youll have to go through the
Universitys advising system to
enroll. It works, but its hardly
advising and hardly a system.
I wish I could take myself back
to 2010 and give some advice to
the younger me about KU advis-
ing. Maybe its worth trying to
mimic Blake Griffin, taking a Kia
Optima back in time to tell my
younger self just a few words.
Your enrollment adviser is a
great person, but cant really tell
you how to get an edge in class
or how to get ahead. Also, advis-
ing is incredibly hands off, so
dont expect anyone to guide you
in your education.
Hands off is really a euphe-
mism for Come back in six
months. This is how the current
advising system works: I sched-
ule an appointment. My adviser
tells me what courses to take,
though Ive checked my Degree
Progress Report (DPR) and
know which courses I need. He
suggests applying for internships,
something I did. Sweet see you
in six months.
Going in for advising feels like
going to the dentist. I call in my
appointment. The dentist tells
me to floss more, which I do.
The dentist tells me to invest in
an electronic toothbrush, and I
tell him that I have a Sonicare
toothbrush and use Sensodyne
for my sensitive teeth. Great
see you in six months.
The advising system at the
University pushes students to be
autonomous. The DPR is self-
explanatory, albeit error-prone.
There are curriculum guides,
enrollment guides, sample four-
year plans and course catalogs
available online. The process is
so hands off, sink or swim and
figure it out on your own that
most students learn how to pick
out classes without talking to any
adviser. Over time, going to an
adviser becomes the final step,
a formality at most. It becomes
unimportant.
We essentially advise our-
selves. There is value in forcing
students to advise themselves on
what classes they should take,
what direction they should head
to be most successful. However,
I dont think that the ineffective-
ness of the advising system was
carefully, meticulously crafted so
that I could reach a more inde-
pendent self. I tell my adviser
my schedule. He checks a box.
My hold is gone. I enroll. See
you in six months. No one cares.
Advising slowly becomes this
transaction that takes place every
few months.
Think about what we miss
out on. Im not saying inde-
pendence isnt great, but we
miss out on potentially great
relationships and the chance at
greater achievement. My adviser
struggled to remember my name
for the first two years. He doesnt
look at my goals and say, This
is a great way to get there. We
never talk about my goals any-
ways; we just go through the
motions of getting my holds
removed, and then I go enroll in
whatever I want. It makes me,
Okay, whatever man, I will go
figure it out on my own. Maybe
youve felt this way about advis-
ing, classes and just the direction
that education at the University
tends toward. The entire col-
lege experience could become
a transaction, just like advising.
I could turn in my homework
but never stay for class. I could
live by myself off campus. I take
a test, I get a grade. I pay for
credit hours, and I get a degree. I
could graduate unknown to any
of my peers. I could come to the
University and better myself, but
leave the University without bet-
tering it.
Dont let this happen to you.
Even if classes are these emotion-
less transactions like buying milk
at Dillons, dont let that derail
your college experience. You
have to make something out of
nothing.
Maybe your adviser isnt in
your corner, helping you find
every edge you need to succeed.
If not, then befriend people
who will. Seek out advisers
who do more than remove your
enrollment holds. Theres no
way we can take every adviser,
underwhelming to outstand-
ing, and force the thoughts Be
an overachiever. Change the
lives of these kids. Give them
some direction. Help them.
Thats a lofty, unreasonable
expectation. However, no one
is stopping you from meeting
the people that could very well
launch your career path, become
your coworker or console in
hard times. Dont let your col-
lege experience become another
transaction you make every day.

O
h, Hannah Horvath.
What is it that makes
this brutally honest, 13
pounds overweight, often unem-
ployed 20-something so endear-
ing? I think its something about
the fact that she is incredibly
self-conscious and yet completely
disregards it.
Though I have mad love
for HBOs Girls, and Allison
Williams and Jemima Kirkes
characters as well, I have to warn
you, this column focuses on my
one and only Hannah Horvath
(portrayed by Lena Dunam). The
following are five compelling
reasons to love our Hannah.
1. She is so delightfully awk-
ward. Everyone can relate to
that hand-on-head feeling after
greeting a cute boy with, Whats
shakin?! or simply, Hiiiiii
Hannah doesnt just recognize
this feeling, she embraces it. And
she does it all while wearing a
see-through mesh tank top.
That episode when she shacks
up with hot married guy Patrick
Wilson for two full days? Her
oversharing with him is so
cringe-worthy, yet so bold you
have to love it. It almost makes
you wish we lived in a world
where it was socially acceptable
to say whatever is on your mind
without committing social sui-
cide, of course.
2. She doesnt make apologies
for who she is. She says and feels
what she wants, when she wants
and to whom she wants. Hannah
isnt afraid to say, Im scared,
but also isnt afraid to say, I may
be the voice of my generation.
She is 100 percent authentic,
and if that means sitting pants-
less eating Cool Whip, so be it.
Keeping up appearances is pretty
low on Hannahs list of priorities,
and I respect her immensely for
that.
3. She both loves and loathes
her body. Ive definitely seen
Lena Dunhams boobs more than
any other humans, on TV or in
real life. The nudity OK, most-
ly Hannahs nudity in Girls is
disconcerting at first, but some-
thing about how comfortable
Hannah is in her own skin makes
viewers more comfortable also.
It is my theory that Hannahs
confidence even if misguided
gives viewers permission to be
confident in their flawed selves
as well. Theres something so
liberating about a woman who
admits that she is overweight,
has a terrible haircut and is a
questionable dresser, but also
that she is awesome and worthy
of love.
4. She doesnt hide her emo-
tions. I sometimes hate the its
all good, bro culture we live in
today. You know, the one where
if youre not super chill about
everything in life, youre basi-
cally damaged. I admit that the
go-with-the-flow lifestyle can
be very healthy and allows us
to take things in stride, but it
also doesnt allow us to truly
feel. Hannah is on an emotional
roller coaster. In a single episode
she goes through several mood
swings and has at least one major
breakdown. Some would say she
is unstable, but in reality, she just
refuses to mask the emotions
we all feel, but struggle to keep
inside.
One of the most lovable things
about Hannah is that she is
flawed. Like, really flawed. But
rather than struggle to hide those
flaws under the ruse of a bal-
anced lifestyle, she plays them
up. Her dysfunction is what
makes her character so unique,
but also so relatable. Because, on
some level, we have all experi-
enced the type of personal crisis
Hannah does when she gets
writers block or has an OCD
relapse. Watching her go through
it sometimes successfully,
sometimes not gives us license
to take our own crises at our own
pace. And to not beat ourselves
up when they happen in the first
place.
5. She is the brainchild of Lena
Dunham. The end.

W
hat does North Korean
dictator Kim Jong-un
have in common with
Stanley Kubrick? In spite of their
rather drastic ideological differ-
ences, both men have found ways
to make us laugh in the face of
nuclear war.
Kubrick, the director of The
Shining and Full Metal Jacket,
furiously lampooned Cold War
paranoia in his 1964 black com-
edy Dr. Strangelove, in which the
star-spangled psychopath General
Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden)
unleashed an atomic Armageddon
in order to prevent the Commies
from polluting his precious bodily
fluids.
Kim, whos beginning to resem-
ble a discontinued Cabbage Patch
Kid, recently released his own cin-
ematic opus: a bizarre propaganda
video where poorly rendered U.S.
cities are obliterated by North
Korean rockets while an instru-
mental version of Michael Jacksons
We Are the World drones omi-
nously in the background. Despite
the threatening imagery, the most
horrifying thing about the video is
its production value.
Whether its discovering ancient
unicorn lairs or trash-talking the
United States by comparing it to
a boiled pumpkin, much about
North Koreas current regime is ripe
for parody. Although its increas-
ingly bellicose rhetoric and fla-
grant human rights violations cant
be ignored, the Hermit Kingdom
has made itself an admittedly easy
target for all manner of pop sati-
rists, including many Hollywood
filmmakers.
Within the last decade, North
Korea has slowly replaced Russia
as the default bad-guy nation in
American blockbusters. Last year
brought us the abysmal remake
of Red Dawn, which featured
an improbably attractive group
of young rednecks mounting a
full-blown insurgency against an
invading force from Pyongyang.
The newly released Olympus
Has Fallen depicts the seizure
of the White House by a terror-
ist obsessed with reunifying the
Korean Peninsula. Even the new
G.I. Joe: Retaliation contains a
scene where the faux U.S. president
(Jonathan Pryce) suggests nuking
North Korea 15 times, just to be
sure.
Is it possible that our volatile
relations with Pyongyang could
stem, at least partially, from our
tendency to intimidate and carica-
turize them in our media? North
Koreas citizenry may be forbidden
to indulge in Western entertain-
ment, but that doesnt mean the
higher-ups havent been paying
attention. After all, the Supreme
Leaders deceased father Kim Jong-
il was an avowed cinephile who
proudly claimed to own at least
20,000 film reels, videocassettes
and DVDs, including every Friday
the 13th and Rambo installment.
The diminutive demagogue even
authored a textbook, titled On the
Art of the Cinema, which is still
available for purchase on Amazon.
Yet the elder Kims love of film
went far beyond appreciation. In
1978, he arranged for the kidnap-
ping of popular South Korean
director Shin Sang-ok and his star-
let wife Choi Eun-hee and com-
missioned them to kick-start the
North Korean movie industry with
a series of anti-capitalist propa-
ganda films, including a remake of
Godzilla called Pulgasari. Their
ordeal, which practically cries out
for a big screen dramatization of its
own, went on for seven years before
culminating in a daring escape to
the U.S. Embassy in Vienna during
a supervised trip there in 1986.
The late Dear Leader was also
reportedly an ardent fan of the
James Bond series until the release
of 2002s Die Another Day, whose
plot involved 007 (Pierce Brosnan)
being captured by the North
Koreans and tortured for months
in a scorpion-infested prison camp.
Apparently Kims biggest gripe was
not with Halle Berrys acting or
even the weapons-grade lameness
of an invisible Aston Martin, but
rather with the identity of the mov-
ies villain: the criminally insane
son of a North Korean general who
underwent racial reassignment
surgery in order to impersonate a
dashing British playboy.
Out of all the movies that
satirize the North Korean gov-
ernment, Trey Parker and Matt
Stones R-rated puppet show Team
America: World Police is with-
out a doubt the most enduring
and incessantly quotable. Its also
a showcase for the duos trademark
propensity for equal opportunity
satire, spoofing everything from
the futility of the War on Terror to
the mind-numbing action cinema
of Michael Bay. The films portrayal
of Kim as a lonesome, warbling
megalomaniac became so popular
that Team America began trend-
ing on Twitter just hours after the
announcement of the real leaders
death in late 2011.
A film version of a fanatical film
lover outliving the fanatic himself?
Theres definitely some irony there.
And maybe a slim ray of hope
for humanitys progress beyond a
future predicated on the assurance
of mutual destruction.

Despite how the season ended, theres still hope
C
lose your eyes and take a deep
breath. Hold it for a few seconds.
Now, exhale slowly and open
your eyes again. Everything will be OK.
As our basketball team now heads into
the offseason, maybe a little sooner than
expected, there are plenty of reasons why
everyone should be just as excited for
next season as they were for this one.
Although the team is losing four of its
starters because of graduation, nothing
has been said about redshirt freshman
guard Ben McLemores future. Despite
many people believing that he will enter
this years NBA draft, he did have a rela-
tively poor postseason, only averaging
12 points per game and showed signs
of not appearing in the big moments.
This could mean that his draft stock can
go down, resulting in him deciding to
stay another year. Another year of Ben
McLemore? I have absolutely no problem
with that.
As for the bench, people tend to
undervalue them. Sophomore guard
Naadir Tharpe and freshman forward
Perry Ellis are going to be exceptional
players, as their careers have tremendous
upsides. Unlike Elijah Johnson, Tharpe
is a natural point guard, so running the
offense will not be an issue for him. Ellis
is a great post player, who took drastic
steps of improvement this postseason,
showing off to everyone the offensive
skill set that he has. He is going to be an
important piece to any kind of success
that Kansas has in the future.
The only thing holding redshirt fresh-
man forward Jamari Traylor back from
being a physical beast that opposing
teams wont want to deal with is the fact
that he has not had as much experi-
ence as everyone else. Sometimes it is
forgotten he started playing basketball
just three years ago. He is an extremely
gifted and physical athlete who I think
has Thomas Robinson potential. He also
has shoulders that remind me of Dwight
Howard, so that in itself tells me how
good he could be.
Another crucial aspect returning to
next years squad is coach Bill Self. If his
nine straight Big 12 championships do
not say anything about rebuilding, I do
not know what does. Year after year, he
loses players either because of the draft,
players transferring or graduation and he
always finds a way to bring back a solid
group of guys that want to compete for
a national championship. How does he
do it? Who cares, because it works. So
Coach, whatever it is you do to make
our Jayhawks great every season, keep
doing it.
Despite the fact that this season may
not have been what the Jayhawk Nation
expected, there is an upside for next year
that everyone should be anxiously wait-
ing for. Oh, and I almost forgot. Redshirt
forward Landon Lucas will be wearing
a uniform next year, as opposed to the
stylish outfits he wore on the bench this
season.

Points isnt worried
about Texas open
HUMBLE, Texas The Masters was
always on D.A. Points mind, even with
the start of his year going nowhere.
He took care of that with one clutch
putt.
Points sank a 13-footer to save
par on the 72nd hole Sunday, winning
the rain-delayed Houston Open by one
stroke over Henrik Stenson and Billy
Horschel.
Points only other victory came with
actor Bill Murray at his side at Pebble
Beach in 2011. This one earned him an
invitation to the Masters in two weeks
and a two-year exemption, unexpected
bonuses after missing seven cuts in his
frst nine starts this year.
I never doubt that I can do it,
Points said. I certainly get down and
frustrated when I make two of nine cuts.
Thats not making you feel real great
about yourself.
No matter how he played in Houston,
he was planning to play in next weeks
Texas Open, too. Now, at least he wont
have to worry about winning there.
I never thought that I wasnt going
to make it (to Augusta), Points said. I
just thought this is an opportunity, just
like next week.
Desperate to change his luck before
Houston, he brought along an old putter
he once borrowed from his mother thats
been sitting in his garage since about
2005. He hardly missed with it in an
opening 64 and then sank the biggest
putt of his career on Sunday.
But it was more than just the putter
that worked this week. Fellow touring
pro Chris Stroud set up a putting lesson
for Points on Wednesday morning with
Brian White, the golf coach at nearby
Lamar, where Stroud played. White
rescheduled a fight to meet with Points
and got him to change his point of
impact.
The things he was saying, at frst, I
wasnt in love with, Points said. But
I knew that what he was saying wasnt
wrong.

CHICAGO Chris Sale out-
pitched James Shields, Tyler Flow-
ers homered and the Chicago
White Sox beat the Kansas City
Royals 1-0 in the season opener
on Monday.
Te White Sox believe theyre
in position to make a run at the
AL Central title even though they
made no splashy additions while
the rest of the division loaded up.
Teyre of to a good start afer a
late fade lef them three games be-
hind Detroit a year ago.
A dominant performance by
Sale and Flowers drive leading of
the ffh against Shields were just
enough to beat a team thats trying
to make a big jump afer fnishing
with a losing record 17 of the past
18 seasons. It also gave the White
Sox a rare win over the Royals,
who took 12 of 18 from them a
year ago.
Sale (1-0) showed the form that
made him a 17-game winner and
an All-Star in his frst season as a
starter. On a chilly day when the
game-time temperature was 44, he
allowed just seven hits and struck
out seven while walking one, and
he lef to a standing ovation afer
Alcides Escobars single with two
outs in the eighth.
Nate Jones came in and, afer
Escobar stole second, threw a wild
pitch while walking Billy Butler
to put runners on frst and third.
Matt Tornton then struck out
Mike Moustakas on three pitches
to end the threat, and Addison
Reed worked the ninth for the
save.
Shields (0-1) was a tough-luck
loser even though he gave the
Royals exactly what they envi-
sioned when they acquired him
from Tampa Bay. Te former All-
Star lasted six innings, allowing
just one run and eight hits while
striking out six without a walk.
Along with the addition of Ervin
Santana from the Los Angeles An-
gels and the re-signing of Jeremy
Guthrie afer he dazzled in a short
stint with Kansas City last season,
the Royals believe they have the
arms to challenge reigning divi-
sion champion Detroit and make
the playofs for the frst time since
the 1985 championship season.
Shields got out of a tough spot
in the second when he struck out
Flowers and Gordon Beckham af-
ter back-to-back singles by Dayan
Viciedo and Alexei Ramirez. Sale
dodged a bases-loaded jam in the
third when he struck out Butler
and retired Moustakas on a pop
fy.
Chicago fnally broke through
when Flowers drove a 2-2 pitch
out to lef-center leading of the
ffh. It was his frst homer since
he went deep against Kansas City
last Sept. 8, and it was a promising
sight for the organization. Afer
all, one reason the White Sox let
A.J. Pierzynski sign with Texas was
they believed Flowers was ready to
become the everyday catcher.
PAGE 7 thE UNIVERSItY DAILY KANSAN tUESDAY, APRIL 2, 2013
KANSAS CITY, Mo. When
the NCAA tournament feld was
announced a couple weeks ago,
Louisville coach Rick Pitino wasnt
a whole lot diferent from millions
of other college basketball fans.
He started poring over the
bracket for potential upsets.
His eyes quickly settled on
Wichita State.
I was talking with my son,
Pitino said Monday, and I said I
thought Wichita State had a great
chance of being a surprise team
to the Final Four. He asked me,
Which teams would you think?
I said VCU and Wichita State. ... I
was very impressed with them.
Now, Pitino will have to fgure
out a way to beat them.
His top-seeded Cardinals (33-5)
ran roughshod through the Mid-
west Region, and now roll into At-
lanta as the heavy favorite to win
their frst national championship
since 1986.
But frst, Russ Smith and the rest
of the Cardinals will have to get by
a gutsy, gritty and grossly under-
estimated Wichita State team Sat-
urday night that blitzed through
Pittsburgh, knocked of another
No. 1 seed in Gonzaga, and ousted
second-seeded Ohio State to reach
the Final Four.
Each game, Pitino said, they
looked better and better.
Pitino said there are some simi-
larities between the Shockers (30-
8) and the Providence team that
he led to the Final Four in 1987,
long before he won national titles
at Kentucky, forayed into the NBA
and landed back on the college
basketball map at Louisville.
Te Friars were the No. 6 seed
that year, and beat second-seeded
Alabama and top-seeded George-
town on their way to the Final
Four, where they lost to Syra-
cuse which just so happens to
be playing Michigan in the other
match-up on Saturday night at the
Georgia Dome.
I guess you would consider
both Cinderella teams, but Wichi-
ta State has much more talent than
we had at Providence, Pitino said
of a Friars team that featured a
young Billy Donovan.
He was sort of carrying us on
his back, amazing young player,
Pitino said. I think Wichita State
is a much better defensive team.
He was a better guy making every-
body better. But like some teams,
we just caught ofensive fre at the
right time.
In much the same way, every-
thing has come together at the
right time for Wichita State.
Te Shockers opened the sea-
son 19-2, climbed to No. 15 in
the AP poll and ran their home-
court winning streak to 19 games,
beating eventual Missouri Valley
Conference champion Creighton
in a high-profle meeting at Koch
Arena, the Shockers venerable on-
campus home.
Ten came a disastrous loss to
Indiana State, and the start of a
three-game skid that included a
vexing road loss to Southern Il-
linois, which fnished 6-12 in the
Valley this season.
It was similar to a three-game
losing streak that Louisville had in
January.
Its interesting. I pointed to
Louisville, I pointed to Kansas,
great teams with great coaches that
also sufered that type of blip, if
you will, in their run to a marvel-
ous season, Wichita State coach
Gregg Marshall said on a confer-
ence call with reporters.
Marshall admitted thinking that
the season was lost afer losing to
the Salukis.
Te Final Four couldnt have
been further from his mind.
Im thinking, Oh boy, we may
have just shot our chances to get
in the NCAA tournament right in
the foot, we might just have blown
it. Im thinking that to myself,
obviously, not relaying that to the
team, he said. Tank goodness
our non-conference run where
we only lost one game and beat
some very good teams helped us,
enabled us, to get into the tourna-
ment.
Te signs were there, though,
even before the start of the mad-
ness, that Wichita State was a
dangerous team. Teir only losses
the rest of the way came against
Evansville, which has won 21
games this season, and Creighton,
which ousted them in the Valley
tournament title game.
Were better all year long when
were the underdog, when noth-
ing is expected, Marshall said.
We got to 9-0 and lost. We got to
15-1, and then we lose. Tis team
has done better when nothing is
expected, when theyre the un-
derdogs, which well clearly be on
Saturday.
Te Shockers, who will travel
to Atlanta on Wednesday, are the
toast of the town this week, but
keep insisting to anybody who will
listen that merely making the Final
Four isnt enough.
Tey went want to win the
schools frst national champion-
ship.
Cinderella found one glass slip-
per. We won four games. I dont
think she found four glass slip-
pers, Marshall said. Cinderella
usually wins a game or two, but
much like Butler a couple seasons
ago, when you get to this point,
youre good enough to win it all.

Jayhawks hope for strong offense against Creighton
Te Jayhawks snapped a three-
game slump in the best way pos-
sible last weekend by handing
the thirteenth-ranked, confer-
ence-leading Oklahoma Sooners
their frst loss in Big 12 play.
Kansas won 10-8 on the shoul-
ders of a 2-for-5 hitting perfor-
mance of senior frst baseman
Alex DeLeon and 4 1/3 scoreless
innings thrown by junior reliev-
er Jordan Piche and sophomore
closer Robert Kahana.
Te bullpen has been really
strong, its been key to the back
end of the game, Piche said.
Kahana came in and threw
great and had a solid couple of
innings, I came in and shut it
down. Were a good combo and
so far its been really good.
Te Sooners are one of the
toughest ofensive teams in the
Big 12, batting .293 as a team
with 194 runs on 174 RBIs. Jay-
hawk pitchers experienced this
frst hand in Norman, Okla.,
over the weekend.
Tey were really good hit-
ters, Piche said. If you throw
a mistake pitch, they could re-
ally tag you for that. You have
to pitch a bit cautious, really hit
your spots and pound the zone
as much as you can to hopefully
punch a guy out.
Te Jayhawks face similar hit-
ting in todays game against the
(14-6) Creighton Jays at Ho-
glund Ballpark. Te Jays are bat-
ting .304 as a team with four men
hitting above .300 on the season.
Sophomore infelder Jake
Peter leads the Jays ofensively
with a .424 average, 36 hits and
19 RBIs in 20 games played this
season. Te second Jay batting
above .400, freshman infelder
Reagan Fowler, is batting .403
on the year with 29 hits and 13
RBIs.
Te Jayhawks pitching staf
has remained loose through the
stretch of adept ofensive line-
ups.
Weve struggled a bit with
Creighton in the past, Piche
said. But I think with the way
were playing and with the win
we pulled of Sunday, well have
some good momentum looking
forward.
Kansas baserunning has creat-
ed momentum for the Jayhawks
this season. Te Jayhawks have
stolen 56 bases entering their
game against Creighton. Tis
seasons ofensive mentality has
placed a continued focus on get-
ting on base playing station-to-
station baseball.
Sophomore outfelder Dakota
Smith embodied this mentality,
collecting fve hits in the week-
end series against Oklahoma.
Nothing really changes at the
plate, Smith said. Were just try-
ing to be aggressive like normal.
I got a few fastballs this weekend
and put some good swings on
them.
Te Jayhawks will face tough
pitching against Creighton.
Creightons staf is combined for
a 3.84 ERA with 100 team strike-
outs.
Te Jays staf includes their
leader on the mound, senior
right-handed pitcher Tommy
Strunc. Te right-hander is 4-0
on the year with a 3.55 ERA with
31 strikeouts and a .193 average
against.
Te Jayhawks look to main-
tain their loose style of play re-
gardless of which team occupies
the opposing dugout.
Weve been pretty loose any-
way, Smith said Weve been
playing good baseball. It just
kind of proves to ourselves that
we can win the games we need to
against big teams and builds our
confdence.
Kansas is continuing to fght
back from the injury bug with
junior outfelder Tucker Tarp
and senior frst baseman Alex
DeLeon returning to the lineup
for full time duties afer contin-
ued battles with hamstring is-
sues.
First pitch for tonights game is
set for 6 p.m. with senior pitcher
Tanner Poppe (1-1, 4.86 ERA, 8
BB, 16 K) facing the Jays fresh-
man pitcher Austin Groth (0-0,
18.00 ERA, 3 BB, 2 K).

F
or many, the return of baseball
simply means the return of spring
weather and the end of basketball
season. For those bitten by the virus that
is devout baseball fanhood, opening day
is a totally different story.
Fitted ball caps from franchises around
the major league abound on campus.
There is, of course, a solid share of Royals
hats some in powder blue, a few in
black. The Cardinal is prevalent, but if
enough attention is dealt to the matter,
the entire league could easily be found.
Thanks to MLB.tv, one could watch
young Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper
start the day with a multi-homer perfor-
mance or the Red Sox demolition of the
bloated Yankees, all while struggling to
engage in class.
Opening day marks another of the
annual transition periods in sports fans
calendars. Many basketball fans, trying to
atone for the loss of their favorite college
team, look for solace on the diamond.
Some more discerning fans have counted
down the days since the Giants 4-3 game
four win in last years fall classic.
Whatever a fans perspective, one
thing is certain: The boys of summer
are back. Its time to break out the ball
glove, bratwurst and beer and settle in
for another long journey to the World
Series and, a bit closer to home, the Big
12 Tournament.

Senior infelder alex Deleon makes a strong hit during the game against Jackson State university at home on march

Senior Tanner Poppe missed two starts due
to a back injury last month but has been able to
practice more with the team recently. in the four
games hes played in this year, hes earned a 1-1
record and has an earned run average of 4.86 so
far. hes pitched in 16 and two-third innings and
hopes to give the Jayhawks a lot of innings today.
in the bullpen, pitching coach Ryan Graves can go
to sophomore Robert Kahana and junior closer Jor-
dan Piche. Piche has pitched in 24 innings this
season and has an eRa of 0.75 and three saves
on the year.

Kansas ran into a myriad of hitch-
es this past weekend against okla-
homa, who managed to produce three
multi-run innings in the frst game of
the series. The Jayhawks found a way
to overcome those mishaps and kept
the Sooners offense quiet the rest of
the series. The outfeld has played
exceptionally well for most of the
season, giving Poppe reasons to feel
confdent taking the mound against
Creighton.
Senior frst baseman alex De-
leon was the hero on Saturday
when he came away with two big
hits to help the Jayhawks re-take
the lead in an offensive shoot-
out against the Sooners. Kansas
wants Satudays offensive output
to carry over to Tuesdays game
against Creighton, which is the
frst of fve games up until Sun-
day.
The Jays projected starter, freshman
right handed pitcher austin Groth, brings
youth and inexperience to the mound
alongside his 18.00 eRa, three walks and
two strikeouts. Groth, a native nebras-
kan was selected three-times to the all-
nebraska frst team. he was 6-1 with an
0.93 eRa his senior season in high school.
The Jays bring a solid staff to town. one
with plenty of ability to stop the bleeding
in the bullpen.
The Jays bring an impressive lineup
to the plate, boasting four players with
higher than .300 batting averages this
season. The team combines for a .304
average with 130 runs on 114 RBis.
Sophomore infelder Jake Peter leads the
team with a .424 average, 36 hits and
19 RBis. The Jays get on base early and
often with a .411 team on-base percent-
age. The Jayhawk pitching staff has its
work cut out for them against Creigh-
ton.
Creightons .976 felding per-
centage and 19 errors on the sea-
son are the mark of a fundamental
squad. The Jays have given Kansas
trouble in the past with that fun-
damental style and should prove
adept in the feld in tonights
matchup.
