Te Lawrence Police Depart-
ment is investigating a case of a

missing University student.
Gianfranco Villagomez, a
23-year-old engineering student
from Lima, Peru was reported
missing af-
ter he did not
return home
from a party
early Saturday
morning.
Vi l l agomez
was last seen
walking on the
i nt er s ec t i on
of Ninth and
Michigan streets around 2:30 a.m.
Saturday morning.
Lawrence Police said Villagomez
is 5-foot-9 and weighs approxi-
mately 150 pounds. He has dark
brown eyes, black hair and was
last seen wearing a beige jacket
and jeans.
According to Villagomezs friend,
Taylor Scrivner, Villagomez had
been at a small party and friends
who saw him that night said he did
not appear to be intoxicated. He
reportedly lef the party alone to
walk to his girlfriends apartment
at 11th and Mississippi streets
and has not been seen since. Te
missing persons report was fled
around 7 p.m. on Saturday.
Scrivner, who has been friends
with Villagomez for three years,
said family and friends have been
in constant contact with Lawrence
Police and are also doing indepen-
dent work to help bring Villago-
mez home.
Weve hung fyers up on Mass.
Street and are going to put them
up in more businesses and his
girlfriends mom is going to hire a
private investigator too, Scrivner
said.
Lawrence Police Department
Sgt. Trent McKinley said a more
intensifed search for Villagomez
began on Sunday afernoon, and
that of-duty personnel have been
contacted to help in the search, but
they have no leads at the moment.
Well be in the area on that route
between point A and point B do-
ing a foot search and contacting
individuals and seeing whether we
can yield any additional leads by
doing that, he said.
Taylor Scrivner organized a
search party at 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
About 20 people combed the
area between 9th and Michigan
Streets and 11th and Mississippi
Streets and took fyers into busi-
nesses in the area.
Students can fnd updates and
learn about other ways to help by

World icon Nelson Mandela, 95,
died Tursday, but his infuence
on the world lives on.
University journalism lecturer
Malcolm Gibson met Mandela
in 1993, while leading a team of
newspaper editors on a fact-fnd-
ing mission in South Africa.
Mandela introduced himself to
Gibson and it struck Gibson that
Mandela didnt walk around ex-
pecting everyone to know who he
was, even though they did.
Mandela became an icon when
he was imprisoned for opposing
the apartheid in South Africa.
He spent 27 years in prison be-
fore being released and eventu-
ally becoming the president of
South Africa in 1994. Afer one
term, he spent the remainder of
his public life as a South African
ambassador.
Gibson studied Africa as an
undergrad and reported in the
region, so he knew Mandela well,
but afer spending three hours
with him in a casual setting, Gib-
son knew much more.
Teres a sense of serenity and
peace around him, Gibson said.
He also noted Mandelas sof
speaking voice that drew you to
him.
Not that you have to be an ex-
pert in African Studies to know
the name Nelson Mandela.
Hes one of the few people
thats virtually known around the
world, Gibson said.

KAITLYN KLEIN

For a moment late in the fourth
and fnal set, the excitement took
over and coach Ray Bechard raised
his arms in the air as a missed
Creighton kill landed wide.
Tat put Kansas three points shy
of its frst ever trip to the regional
round of the NCAA tournament.
But just as quickly Bechard com-
posed himself for the next point,
which was a kill by Creighton fresh-
man Jess Bird that bounced toward
Bechard.
When junior Chelsea Albers and
freshman Tayler Soucie combined
for the block to end with a 3-1 Kan-
sas victory, the coach enthusiasti-
cally raised his arms once again.
Tis time there was no doubt, his
team was headed to the regional, a
frst for both Kansas and Bechard.
Tis is Bechards ffh appearance
in the NCAA tournament in his 16
years at the University.
Im going to have to keep my
composure, Bechard said to his
senior setter Erin McNorton as he
prepared for a post-game press con-
ference.
In the third set of the match, with
the teams tied at 22 and one set
apiece, Bechard called a timeout. In
that specifc situation and that spe-
cifc score, he asked his team what it
reminded them of; the answer was
practice.
Every day in the gym we have a
22-all drill, Bechard said. Tey
know they gotta play clean, they
gotta play smart and they gotta play
hard, because you get in a lot of sit-
uations like that at the end of the
game. Tats all I said and then I got
out of their way.
Te Jayhawks lef that timeout and
won the next three points, taking
the set 25-22. Ten the momentum
carried them to an early lead in the
fourth set leading to the 3-1 victory.
Te Jayhawks will play Washing-
ton, the No. 3 seed, in Los Angeles
on Dec. 13 for the regionals. But to
a basketball guy like Bechard, this
feels like the Sweet 16.
Ive been at it quite awhile, and
I guess if you stick around long
enough, and these guys have let me
stay here long enough, its going to
happen eventually, Bechard said.
Soon afer Bechard and his play-
ers lef the media room, Creighton
coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth en-
tered along with players welling up
with tears.
Bechard knows what that disap-
pointment feels like. A year ago
he was in the same position, here
at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas ended
last season with 3-1 loss to Wichita
State in the second round.
You know, it was tough last year
to say the least, Bechard said. We
didnt forget that feeling. Tats
what makes it so cool tonight.
Afer raising his arms in triumph,
Bechard went into the stands to fnd
the people that he most wanted to
share the moment with. Tere was a
section of about 30 people that Be-
chard reserved tickets for.
Ive got a lot of brothers and sis-
ters and nieces and nephews in the
area that I guess either love Kansas
volleyball or like me, I dont know
what the real answer is, Bechard
said.
Harold Bechard, one of coach
Bechards six siblings, drives from
Salina to see every match. He even
drove to Wisconsin for a tourna-
ment earlier this season. Harold
has been a professional newspaper
reporter in Kansas since 1976, cov-
ering Big 8 and Big 12 sports.
Over the years his career has
taught him to keep his emotions
in check, but its diferent when he
watches his brothers team. Ten its
personal. He becomes a fan.
Harold said he could see more
emotion from his brother on Sat-
urday night as well, hes usually
pretty calm.
Just to see him get over that next
hump, Harold Bechard said. Just
getting to the next level really helps
the program and its something hes
been striving for for a long time.

Ekdahl Dining Commons, more
popularly known as Mrs. Es, is
now meeting the needs of stu-
dents with dietary restraints. A
partnership between KU Chabad
and KU Dining Services has made
kosher food an option for Jewish
and Muslim students at the Uni-
versity.
According to Mark Maranell,
general manager of the dining
center, Mrs. Es is now serving ko-
sher meals to 50 to 100 people ev-
ery Monday evening in the newly
constructed KYou Zone in the
dining center.
In order to ensure a meal is ko-
sher, the food must be prepared in
accordance with Jewish law. Tra-
vis Fell, culinary assistant manag-
er at Mrs. Es, explained the many
ways that preparing a kosher meal
is diferent from any other.
To start, utensils used for cook-
ing kosher meals that have come
into contact with meat may not
be used with dairy and vice ver-
sa. Utensils that have come into
contact with non-kosher food
may not be used. Meat cannot be
eaten with dairy and only certain
parts of permitted animals can be
eaten. Pigs and other split-hooved
animals are not considered ko-
sher, along with certain types of
fsh and birds. Te KYou Zone is
fully equipped with various uten-
sils to ensure the proper prepara-
tion of kosher meals.
Te recent renovation of Mrs. Es
and cooperation with KU Chabad
presented an opportunity for KU
Dining Services to expand on its
kosher meals services, according
to Sheryl Kidwell, assistant direc-
tor of KU Dining Services.
Tis concept within Mrs. Es
provided us the ability, along with
the Rabbis assistance, to buy, pre-
pare and serve kosher meals from
this specifc location, Kidwell
said. We are starting small by
ofering kosher dinners on Mon-
day evenings to gauge the overall
satisfaction and popularity of this
pilot program.
Rabbi Zalman of KU Chabad
expressed his excitement with the
new option at Mrs. Es
Tis took hours of work with
many technicalities, but it has
been met with tremendous re-
sponse, Zalman said. Tis has
made it so much more accessible
for Jewish students at KU to have
an option where kosher food is
available.
Miriam Mechache, a freshman
from Minneapolis, is a student
who keeps kosher.
I have been so blessed to have
the KU dining staf be so accom-
modating and helpful towards
my (dietary) needs, Mechache
said. I understand its a work in
progress and I hope the program
is successful so more Jewish and
Islamic people can enjoy eating at
Es.
Although Mrs. Es is intended for
student housing, other students,
faculty, and visitors can pay cash
to eat at the dining center and try
some of the new kosher options.
Kosher hot dogs and other meals
can be found at a concession
stand in Allen Fieldhouse and at
the Market in the Kansas Union.

With fnals looming ahead, test
anxiety seems to take its toll on
many University students. How-
ever, in a recent TED talk, psy-
chologist Kelly McGonigal went
over a Harvard University study
that found when telling partici-
pants to view their stress response
as helpful, they were less stressed.
Afer viewing the TED talk for
herself, Dr. Myra Louise Stroth-
er, a family physician at Watkins
Health Center who specializes
in mental health issues, gave her
opinion in hopes to help ease stu-
dents stress.
We create stress. Outside events
certainly infuence it, but its how
each of us processes that stress
that determines in what way it will
afect us, Strother said. Use the
positive focus of stress to priori-
tize.
When your body experiences
stress, it causes your blood pres-
sure to rise and makes your heart
rate faster. Tis creates more blood
fow to your brain, which then in-
creases your ability to focus. How-
ever, as Dr. Strother explains, this
is only good at a controlled level.
Fear is the strongest human
emotion, so you have to be careful
how you use it. Use the power of
stress to focus and not to terrorize
yourself, Strother said.
Strother explained other factors
that help make the body view
stress as either something positive
or negative. Te more sugar, caf-
feine and energy drinks you con-
sume the faster your focus will go
down, and thus can foster the bad
efects of stress.
Too much sugar, cafeine and
energy drinks actually become
distracting and make you lose
focus, Strother said. Its import-
ant to eat proteins and complex
carbs before studying or taking a
test. Tese give you the most even
release of blood sugar that helps
your brain function.
Students commonly experience
test anxiety when they frst start
taking a test. Strother encourag-
es students to relax and realize
youre going to get through it.
Your anxiety will come down as
youre taking the test. Come back
to things you couldnt focus on at
the beginning before you turn in
your fnal.
Despite the common consensus
among University students, pull-
ing all-nighters at the library can
actually do more harm than good.
Strother said that there is such a
thing as too much studying.
Your brain can only study for
so long. You will not do as well if
you exceed 1.5 hours of studying
at a time, Strother said. Break
up studying. Go work out, call a
friend, or hang out with someone.
Tis brings your oxytocin levels
up, and helps you put things into
perspective. Good studies show
that exercising pushes new oxygen
to the brain, and a new focus will
come back.
Alex Beer, a sophomore for Dal-
las, recalls a time where he found
stress was motivating
Last year, I had two fnals on the
same day. I was so stressed out I
wanted to crawl into bed and give
up, Beer said. But afer moping,
I studied and kicked those tests to
the curb because I was driven.
Lastly, Dr. Strother reminds stu-
dents to get your stress up just to
focus, but not to get in the way of
studying. Give yourself the reafr-
mation you can do it.

Most people have heard Man-
delas name or are familiar with
his words, but Gibson said that
everyone should know Man-
dela and students in particular
should remember him, even
though many of them werent
alive during his imprisonment
or able to see his infuence in
the civil rights movement.
You dont have a Nelson
Mandela of your generation,
Gibson said. Tats why its es-
pecially important for us to re-
member him.
His infuence not only afect-
ed South Africa, but the world.
Nelson Mandela has afected
your life, Gibson said. Hes af-
fected the life of everybody on
this campus in ways you dont
understand.
Gibson said that the ability
to associate freely is, in many
ways, a direct result of Man-
dela.
Mandela infuenced every
person in the world in some
way and Gibson said hes afraid
that young people may not rec-
ognize his infuence.
Just by being there, Mandela
was a symbol of freedom, even
while he was imprisoned, Gib-
son said.
We should all be, not sad
about his passing, but we need
to recognize how important it
was that he was here and what
he did in his lifetime, Gibson
said.

ACADEMICS
University launches two-week courses over break
ASHLEY BOOKER
abooker@kansan.com
While many students may be
working or catching up on sleep
during the semester break, a hand-
ful of journalism students will be
virtually raising their hands from
Dec. 30 to Jan. 24 in the frst on-
line, minimester courses in the
Universitys history.
Many other schools around the
country have interterm classes, but
they have never before been of-
fered at the University, until now.
We are moving in the direction of
ofering minimester courses cam-
pus-wide, said Sara Rosen, senior
vice provost for academic afairs.
Te School of Journalism has
been working on this idea since
the beginning of the semester, and
it has fnally become a reality.
Te idea of the minimester is to
provide short, intensive courses
at times when students can either
pick up a needed course, explore
new areas including experiential
learning opportunities or pick up
a short course that will prepare
them academically for the next set
of courses, Rosen said.
Both Visual Storytelling and
Multimedia Web Development
were carefully selected to measure
if a required course or an elective
course would be more successful.
Much to their surprise, Visual
Storytelling, the required course,
flled the day afer it opened, and
Multimedia Web Development,
the elective course, flled 13 days
afer it opened, said Kelli Nich-
ols, assistant dean at the School of
Journalism.
Both courses may be popular but
their course styles are very difer-
ent. Multimedia Web Develop-
ment is a course that has been
created from the ground up and
allows students to help develop the
course as well.
Tis class will create a mobile
website for the School of Jour-
nalism to supplement the current
desktop website. Students will
meet virtually online through
Adobe Connect where they will
be able to screen grab Associate
Professor Doug Wards screen,
press a button to raise their hands
and also message back and forth,
among other things.
Since all students may not be in
the Lawrence area, they will take
a poll to decide when to do live
sessions with the class as a whole
and will also poll what career felds
students want to participate in,
since the class will be group-proj-
ect based.
Tis class will help with the abili-
ty to collaborate online, Ward said.
He believes collaborative team-
work with a client (the schools
public relations department) re-
fects where future journalism ca-
reers are going.
Sara Anees, a junior from Wichi-
ta, will assist Ward as well as attend
the class. She has been drafing a
proposal for the mobile site and
also collecting photos and videos
that may be used for the website
as well.
I think that it will be nice to
work on a project that is interest-
ing without having as many obli-
gations, Anees said.
Unlike Visual Storytelling,
Multimedia Web Development
will be asynchronous where
students work on their own time
compared to getting online at the
same time.
Tis class is ofered in the regu-
lar 16-week online course and also
condensed in the 8-week online
summer course. Michael Williams,
associate professor at the school,
understood it could be condensed
yet again and only had to cut back
on one assignment in order to do
so.
Even though both 16-day cours-
es may be rather intense, both
minimester professors and Dean
Brill arent worried about journal-
ism students. But they understand
students will need to stay focused
and motivated.
It is part of the Universitys goal
to prepare students for what the
working world is like, because in
that world, it is unrealistic to have
a fve-week break.
Brill said the school needs to
think, How can we better model
what will be the working environ-
ment for people?
Kimberly Kaehn, a senior from
Dallas, will take Multimedia Web
Development, during the min-
imester since she will be working
as a marketing intern for Peoples
Bank in the spring.
I enrolled in the course hoping
that it will better prepare me for
the internship, Kaehn said. I will
have more time in the spring to fo-
cus on school, my internship and
applying to entry-level jobs.
Te two minimester courses at
the School of Journalism were
made possible through a collabo-
ration of work since early fall with
the schools staf, Academic Afairs
staf, the Center for Online and
Distance Learning, Information
Technology, the Ofce of Univer-
sity Registrar, Bursars ofce, and
also Financial Aid.
Both classes success will be mea-
sured through evaluations and stu-
dent feedback while participation
will be measured through online
log time. But as of right now, both
minimesters have been initially
successful based on sheer desir-
ability.
I think that it will be nice

to work on a project that is
interesting without having
as many obligations.

the Kansas Republicans primary
challenger are sparring publicly
over ethics issues, increasing the
acrimony in their already conten-
tious race.
Roberts executive campaign
manager, Leroy Towns, fled a
complaint last week with the Sen-
ate Ethics Committee against chal-
lenger Milton Wolf because Wolf
hasnt yet fled a required fnancial
disclosure form. Towns asked for
an investigation, saying that Wolf s
missing a 30-day deadline to fle
the form raises questions about
whether voters can trust him.
But Wolf spokesman Ben Hart-
man said the challenger will fle
the form soon, within a grace pe-
riod thats typically given to new
Senate candidates. Ten, the Wolf
campaign cited 16 instances since
2000 in which the Federal Election
Commission questioned items in
Roberts campaign fnance reports.
Wolf s campaign also accused
Roberts of abusing his seat on the
Senate Ethics Committee in an at-
tempt to intimidate his challenger.
Towns said theres nothing to the
allegation and accused Wolf of be-
ing willing to make facts up.
Roberts, 77, is seeking his fourth,
six-year term in the Senate and has
worked in Washington as either a
congressional aide or a member of
Congress for nearly a half-century,
a career that had made him an icon
in Kansas GOP circles. But Wolf, a
42-year-old Leawood radiologist,
is running as a tea party candidate
and attacking Roberts as a career
politician. Te primary is in Au-
gust.
Hartman said Towns complaint
was an attempt to get a cheap
headline.
It shows that they recognize that
Senator Roberts has some very
large vulnerabilities, Hartman
said. It shows that theyre not go-
ing to campaign on the issues.
But Towns, a former Ethics Com-
mittee stafer, said the complaint is
serious. Towns said the commit-
tees rules will require Roberts to
remove himself from the case if
the panel investigates Wolf, adding
that the complaint was fled with
the panel because thats the appro-
priate venue.
Te complaint said Wolf is re-
quired to fle the disclosure form,
listing income and their assets to
provide the public an accurate as-
sessment of his fnancial status.
Te Roberts campaign added in
a statement, Transparency and
trust are two of the most import-
ant aspects of public service.
Federal law requires a congres-
sional candidate to fle the dis-
closure form within 30 days of
becoming a candidate, and Wolf
fled a statement of his candidacy
on Oct. 23, making the deadline
Nov. 22.
Te same federal law says that
candidates who fle their reports
more than 30 days afer their
deadlines must pay a $200 penal-
ty. Also, the committee can grant
extensions of deadlines of up to 90
days, and Roberts himself received
such an extension last year, accord-
ing to records available online.
Kan. senator, GOP foe squabble on ethics issues
ASSOCIATED PRESS
D
o you close the lid when
you fush? No? Perhaps
you didnt know that
if you dont put the lid down, a
waterspout of germs and bacteria
shoots out and covers your
bathroom.
To prove this, dye the water
with a few drops of food coloring,
hold a white sheet of paper
over the toilet and watch as the
water brings colorful life to the
once pristine sheet of paper.
Now imagine that this is fecal
matter, urine and/or blood. If
your toothbrush is nearby, watch
out! Charles Gerba, Ph.D. and
professor of microbiology at
University of Arizona in Tucson,
said, Polluted water vapor erupts
out of the fushing toilet bowl and
if can take several hours for these
particles to fnally settle not to
mention where.
What are some other things
youre missing that are repulsive
and gross?
Your sheets and pillows
If you arent washing your sheets
on a weekly or bi-weekly basis,
you are going to bed regular-
ly with dead skin cells, sweat,
bodily fuids, and skin oils among
other substances. Your pillow
isnt excluded from drawing these
byproducts either. According to
SymptomFind, pillows can harbor
mold, yeast and bacteria, which
can lead to undesirable conse-
quences. Your pillows should
be washed at least twice per
year. While gross, your bed isnt
normally an infectious source, but
rather a strain on your respiratory
tracts. If you sufer from allergies
or asthma, laundering your sheets
will beneft you. Even if you dont
have these conditions, an allergy
may develop from constant strain
on your airways.
In short: Wash sheets every
week, or bi-weekly. Wash your
pillows twice per year.
Your towels
When your towel becomes
crusty, the time to wash it has
come! Your towels should be
changed every 2-3 days, or afer
three uses. How can you expect
to dry of your clean body with a
towel covered in water splashed
from your toilet, skin oils and
maybe even your roommates
hair? As you dry your body of
with a towel, youre depositing
germs and dead skin cells onto it
at the same time. Allow towels to
hang fat and dry completely, and
wash them ofen.
In short: change every two to
three days.
Your kitchen sponge
Te sponge residing on your
kitchen sink is one of the dirtiest
items in your house. Wiping
down your countertop with a
sponge infested with mold is just
spreading the bacteria all over
your kitchen! To avoid replacing
your sponge weekly, sanitize it in
the microwave for two minutes.
Tis time allows bacteria to be
nuked and killed. Before placing
it in the microwave, wet the
sponge down and put a cup of
water in the microwave with the
sponge. Be careful and allow the
sponge to cool of before wring-
ing it out.
In short: microwave for one-to-
two minutes.
Your toothbrush
Not allowing your toothbrush
to properly dry afer use can lead
to germs, fungus and bacteria, ac-
cording to Colgate. Change your
toothbrush every three months,
because it loses its efectiveness to
clean from daily use. Its also wise
to swap toothbrushes afer youve
been sick or had mouth sores.
In short: change every three
months.

I
make lists. I have three post-it
notes on my desk right now,
reminding me of upcoming
deadlines, things to do and new
music to check out. And yes, each
post-it is color coded.
I have always been an organized
person, with some inclinations
that might even suggest OCD.
Until recently, lists were a symbol
of this, a representation of my
neatness. But the recent emer-
gence of listicles has managed to
not only devalue the concept of a
list, but also create shallow bonds
between those who read them.
A listicle, as defned by Wiki-
pedia, is a short-form of writing
that uses a list as its thematic
structurethe building-block
nature of the listicle lends itself to
more rapid production.
Considering the fast-paced en-
vironment of online journalism,
the listicle seems like an easy fx to
stay up to speed.
Just the other day I shared my
pessimistic thoughts on listicles
with a group, receiving a single
smile of agreement, while the
rest looked as though someone
had just told them Santa isnt real
(SPOILER ALERT).
I sympathize with these sen-
timents, and understand most
people who might be reading this
will immediately disregard the
rest of the words on the page
not wanting to hear such awful
things said about the beloved
Buzzfeed. But I encourage you to
try and read on.
I will admit Buzzfeed has
made me laugh. Some of their
listicles, as well as others posted
by sites like Elite Daily, Listverse
and nearly every other website,
can be extremely entertaining.
Even as I write this, I fnd myself
distracted by irresistible titles such
as 10 Reasons the Moon Landing
Could be a Hoax, or the ironic 9
Tings You Need to Know About
Listicles.
Tis newfound obsession with
lists is everywhere no topic is
safe from being reduced to the
format. But where is the value in
this endless inundation of lists?
Why should we allow a list to tell
us 25 Tings You Should Tell
Your Best Friend Right Now?
How can we trust an article to tell
us 23 Experiences Tat Make
You Proud To Be A Homebody,
when the list includes vague gen-
eralizations among a few points
that actually make us smirk to
ourselves as we think, that ones
so true, I totally do that.
Its not so much the context
included within the lists that
bother me, but rather the context
in which I discover these lists. Te
best friend list had been posted on
multiple Facebook pages, alerting
cyberspace to best friend duos
everywhere. Te homebody list
had also been posted on Facebook
by one of my friends to another
friends Facebook page laugh-
ing at the fact that they had both
decided to stay in together.
I have always supported the
long-withstanding argument
that social media is ruining our
abilities to converse with one an-
other and listicles are a prime
illustration of this process.
People are reducing their rela-
tionships to that of a list. Its be-
come acceptable to allow sites like
Buzzfeed to compile a summary
of things we might say, if only we
had the time. Phone tag with your
friend? Why bother when you can
simply post a list of things you
should tell him or her anyway?
People turn to these lists to fnd
comfort in the antics they believe
no one else can relate to for
example, staying in. It is true,
staying in on a Saturday night
might not fall under the category
of an expected social norm, yet
Buzzfeeds list of reasons to be
proud ensures its readers that they
are not alone. Tat its not just
acceptable to stay in, but that its
something to be proud of. Since
when do we rely on a list for vali-
dation of our behaviors?
Lists are easythey aim to
simplify. Sometimes, we dont
have time to sit on the phone, and
we like knowing that other people
do the same things as us. And,
thats okay. Were busy, and were
uncertain. Afer all, one of the
many things Carrie Bradshaw has
taught me is that this is what your
20s are for.
While sites like Buzzfeed provide
us with a laugh or a distraction
every now and then, I think that
should be as far as they go. We
cant let our everyday relation-
ships fall to the sidelines while
our virtual ones fourish. We
shouldnt sacrifce reading a page
of information for the condensed
version.
Every now and then, someone
will tell me, Hey! I saw your
article in the paper! To which I
respond, Cool! Did you read it?
Im starting to think if I wrote in
list form, their responses would
be diferent.

BOOK REVIEW HYGIENE
P
erhaps you know David
Simon as the writer and
producer of Te Wire
the HBO drama that ran from
2002-2008 about the city of
Baltimore and its various char-
acters, including drug dealers,
police, dock workers, teachers,
reporters and politicians. What
you may not know is that he
also co-wrote, with Ed Burns, a
book chronicling their year-long
observation of the community
surrounding one of the most
high-trafc drug corners in Bal-
timore, aptly titled Te Corner.
Where Te Wire is a plot-driv-
en, fctional account (dont read
this as a criticism; Te Wire is
awesome in its own way), this
thick book delves deep into the
lives of its characters and the hu-
manity of the corner. Te great-
est strength of the book lies in
the authors ability to accurately
portray the stories of the people
it follows, and the questions it
raises about our preconceived
notions regarding poverty and
the war on drugs.
Te Corner lets us experience
a year in Deandre McCulloughs
shoes, a teenager struggling to
fnd his identity in the world
of the corner, torn between a
school system where failure is
the expectation, a non-existent
home life with an absent father
and drug-addicted mother and
the ever-growing expectation
and social pressure to become
another drug-slinging gangster.
Spending time with Deandre, we
begin to see ourselves in him.
In this experience, Simon and
Burns challenge the notion that
the disadvantaged can simply
pull themselves up by their boot-
straps, saying we grant ourselves
the illusion that its not chance in
circumstance, that opportunity
itself isnt the defning issue.
Te error in this viewpoint is to
imagine ourselves thrust into im-
poverished circumstances with
all the prior experience, training
and support gained from par-
ents, mentors, schooling, etc. Te
reality is that many dont have
these privileges from day one.
One of the most powerful mes-
sages I found in Te Corner
was that [e]mpathy demands
that we recognize ourselves in
the faces of [the corner].
Te authors also dissect the
details of the drug trade and the
police response to it. Bob Brown,
a near-mythical character of his
micro-universe, tirelessly rounds
up drug slingers and addicts
alike and sends them to jail,
from which they shortly return
and pick up where they lef of.
Simon and Burns characterize
Brown as the stereotypical beat
cop that knows his small com-
munity like the back of his hand,
and continues to fght despite
overwhelming evidence that
the battle is already lostthe
community itself is its own worst
enemy. Tey question the tactics
of the war on drugs in Baltimore,
in which arrest statistics are the
misleading gauge that gives a
semblance of progress. Tey note
that [s]tupid criminals make for
stupid police... As a result, police
work in inner city Baltimore has
been reduced to fsh-in-a-barrel
tactics, with the result that a
generation of young ofcers has
failed to learn investigation or
procedure. What I think that
this shows is that a zero-tol-
erance policy ofen puts the
greatest burden on those at the
street level without making an
efort to prevent the root-causes
of the drug trade. Simon and
Burns dont present any easy
solutions to these complex prob-
lems; they merely identify them
and show that our current eforts
are failing. It seems clear that
drastic changes are needed to fx
a broken system.
Reading Te Corner is a real
struggle; it would be easy to put
the book down and go read a
carefree novel. But the truth is
that it is a rewarding struggle.
Most importantly, it reminds
us to not turn a blind eye to
sufering. [W]hen we can ride
past them... car doors locked,
our feld of vision cautiously
restricted to the road ahead, then
the long journey into darkness is
underway, the authors aver.
Reading Te Corner was an
exercise in empathy. Practicing
empathy in our own daily lives
doesnt always have to involve
sweeping gestures like the study
undertaken by the authors. It
can be as simple as being more
tolerant of your roommate(s), or
cutting that one group project
member some slack for once. It
may not be much, but it could
still have a long-lasting efect.

HOLIDAY FASHION
With holiday spirits high and
cufng season in full swing, the
winter months create some great
date-night opportunities. From
ice skating, holiday parties, sleigh
rides and bonfres, it is easy to
incorporate this seasons latest
trends into the perfect outft for
any occasion.
OUTDOOR
With the blustering Kansas
weather and freezing tempera-
tures, layers are key. But when
paired in the right ways, you can
avoid looking lumpy and over-
dressed. Chunky knit scarves and
mittens can be matched with puf-
er vests, peacoats and oversized
sweaters. Skip the snow boots this
year and invest in a sturdy pair
of neutral-colored riding boots.
Tese are very versatile and can
be worn with most jeans, leggings
and tights.
I usually just wear riding boots
with jeans and a sweater, said
Abbie Wenger, a sophomore from
Wichita. I dont think its all that
much harder to dress for winter
dates, because its easy to take any
tops you might wear over the sum-
mer and pair it with a cardigan.
Hats can be a fun and unique
accessory, so perk up your outft
with a variety of beanies in difer-
ent styles and colors. You cant go
wrong with basic black or cream,
but feel free to make a statement
with bright colors.
INDOOR
When it comes to snuggling up
by the fre or baking cookies, you
want to be comfortable and still
look date-night ready. Tere are
many ways to pull of an efortless
and feminine outft without over-
doing it. Neutral-toned sweaters
can be paired with just about any-
thing, from colored skinny jeans to
skirts with tights. Even something
as simple as an oversized sweater
and leggings can be dressed up
with the right accessories. Pair it
with statement pieces such as bold
necklaces or earrings.
Try out delicate blouses, and
look for ones with lace, beading
or other kinds of feminine detail-
ing. When it comes to plans that
require you to be more dressed up,
Alex Hardee, a sophomore from
Shawnee Mission, recommends a
sweater dress with a high-waisted
belt paired with boots and tights.
Dont forget to add some fair to
your top half by adding a medi-
um-length, sparkly necklace.
Makeup+Hair
Sof, romantic curls are always
the go-to hairstyle for any kind
of date, as well as chic updos. But
simple braids and buns are a great
way to draw attention to your fa-
cial features.
Complete your look with the per-
fect firty makeup. You can never
go wrong with a deep-red or bur-
gundy lip color, while keeping the
rest of the face natural. Also, try
lining your top and bottoms lash-
es with black eyeliner and giving
it a quick smudge with a Q-tip to
create a smoky eye. Ten dust on
a shimmery, champagne-colored
shadow over your lids to create the
perfect sultry and polished look.
GUYS
For guys, the clothes you wear
are probably the last things on
your mind. But whether it is your
frst date or your 40th, its always
important to make a good impres-
sion. Tis season, forget the jeans
and hoodies. Try outftted khakis,
which can be easily paired with
a variety of button-ups, sweaters
and pullovers.

Cold weather requires
cozy date night fashion

tures with beanies, scarves and peacoats.

REBOUNDS ASSISTS POINTS
Nobody really shined on Saturday, but Wiggins was
the driving force in the second-half surge that tied
the game at 72. After sinking a three-pointer on the
Hawks opening possession, he struggled with fouls
and sat the bench for a majority of the rst half. He
still nished with a game-high 22 points and went
to the free-throw line nine times, where he made
seven attempts.
After getting the start over Naadir Tharpe, Mason
didnt make Self feel overly condent in that deci-
sion. He still scored double-digits with 11, but he
seemed to settle for threes against Colorados zone
defense as he went 1-5 from beyond the arc. He also
went 4-7 from the free-throw line. The freshman is
playing beyond his years, but this game was a minor
setback in his rst-year campaign.

Second Half
:12 Andrew Wiggins draws a foul while shooting another three-pointer. He hits two of three free throws to bring
Kansas within one. Colorado leads 71-70.

:04 Coming out of a timeout with 11 seconds remaining, Perry Ellis ghts for a layup to tie the game. Tied at 72.
:01 Askia Booker eurosteps his way around Frank Mason for a three-pointer to win the game. Colorado leads 75-72.
PRIME PLAYS
Sophomore foward Perry Ellis makes a shot on Saturdays game against the Buffaloes. The Jayhawks were just short of
winning, tailing 3 points behind Colorado.
For the frst time in Kansas vol-
leyball history, the Jayhawks will
play in the regional round of the
NCAA tournament.
Junior outside hitter Chelsea
Albers led the Jayhawks to the
frst- and second-round victo-
ries at Allen Fieldhouse over the
weekend.
Te thing about Chelsea, she
is going to make something good
happen one way or another and
shes going to be aggressive, head
coach Ray Bechard said. When
you can get 17 kills out of your
right side hitter, thats huge.
Te Jayhawks defeated the Wich-
ita State Shockers 25-23, 25-19,
20-25, 25-22 in the frst round of
the tournament on Friday, when
Albers set a career high with 17
kills on 38 attempts and seven
errors. Senior middle blocker Car-
oline Jarmoc had 16 kills with one
error and four service aces against
the Shockers, who defeated Kansas
in the second round of the 2012
NCAA tournament.
When you end the year on a
heart-breaking note, you remem-
ber that, Bechard said. You re-
member the team you played, but
you remember the feeling more
than anything and we didnt want
to feel that way again.
Not everything was working well
for the Jayhawks on Friday. Junior
outside hitter Sara McClinton was
[set 21 times] for only fve kills and
four errors for a hitting percentage
of .048 in the course of three sets
played. Sophomore Tiana Dockery
replaced McClinton in the fourth
set on Friday, and Dockery fn-
ished the match against Wichita
State with three kills on 10 hitting
attempts and zero errors.
We felt our rhythm wasnt that
great and we decided to make the
change, Bechard said. As [Dock-
ery] usually does, she came in and
did a great job.
Dockery impressed Bechard
enough on Friday that she got
the nod to start for McClinton on
Saturday against the Creighton
Bluejays, who defeated Kansas
earlier in the season on Sept. 10.
Dockery had her most domi-
nating performance of the season
when it mattered most, Bechard
said. Dockery fnished the match
with 14 kills on 42 attempts and
six errors to defeat Creighton 25-
20, 22-25, 25-22, 25-21.
I felt the vibe of the team, and it
was telling me, Dock you have to
go in there and you have to fght
hard, Dockery said. All these
seniors that wanted this so much,
I know Chelsea (Albers) and I
for one really wanted to play for
them.
Albers, who recorded 11 kills in
the frst match against Creighton,
had another impressive showing
by setting another career high in
kills with 18 on 38 attempts and
only two errors.
Bechard made another hitter
substitution move during the
Creighton match. Redshirt senior
outside hitter Catherine Carmi-
chael played in only three sets
before being replaced by McClin-
ton. Carmichael struggled hard
with her hits. She had seven kills
on 32 attempts and 10 errors for a
season-low .094 hitting percentage.
McClinton played the fourth set
and had fve kills on 10 attempts.
Te Jayhawks defense made the
diference on Saturday. Kansas
out-dug Creighton 82-69. Teir
defense was led by freshman de-
fensive specialist Cassie Wait. Wait
passed her way into a career-high
19 digs, and the Jayhawks had four
other players with double-digit dig
performances.
Bechard said earlier in the season
that the Jayhawks group of seniors
is the most successful senior
class in the history of the Kansas
program.
Te resume for this senior class
just keeps building, being the frst
Jayhawks team to advance into the
regionals of the NCAA tourna-
ment. Te Jayhawks will try to
continue their success in Los An-
geles on Saturday, Dec. 13, against
the No. 3 Washington Huskies.
We knew the season wouldnt be
complete unless we could advance
further than we ever have before,
Bechard said. Im a basketball guy,
I call it the Sweet 16, whatever it
is, its pretty damn cool. I cant tell
you how proud I am of this group.

Jayhawks advance to regionals for rst time in history
BLAIR SHEADE
bsheade@kansan.com
Sporting goalkeeper, Jimmy Niel-
sen punched a shot straight into
the air and a Salt Lake attacker was
able to get a foot on the rebound.
To Nielsen and Sportings delight
the ball bounced of the post and
into the keepers hands. Sporting
and US Mens National Teams
Graham Zusi was dominant the
entire night. He won nearly every
50/50 ball and was serving great
balls into the box.
Te frst half ended with the
score knotted up at 0-0. Sport-
ing led possession 53 percent-47
percent and got seven more shots
of than Real for the half. In the
52nd minute, Salt Lakes Alvaro
Saborio was able to fnish on the
Kyle Beckerman assist to give Salt
Lake the lead. Sporting began to
look a little desperate. Real Salt
Lakes defense was looking sharp
and Sporting was not getting a lot
of opportunities.
In the 72nd minute, both teams
made a substitution to get fresh
legs on the feld. In the 76th min-
ute, Sporting was awarded a corner
kick and Aurelien Collin was able
to put away the beautiful cross
from Graham Zusi. It was only a
matter of time before one of Zusis
passes was put away.
Te game remained tied at one
apiece through the rest of regula-
tion. Te teams fought and battled
through a very physical and chippy
extra time. At the end of 120 min-
utes, the game was still tied. Tis
cup game had to be decided by
penalty kicks, a controversial way
to end a game.
Its about luck, Salt Lake head
coach Jason Kreis said. One team
is on one day, and the other team
is on the next.
Either way, a victor had to be
determined.Trough the frst four
rounds, Sporting led 3-2. In the
ffh round, Graham Zusi sent his
shot high over the crossbar. Salt
Lakes Javier Morales tied up the
score at 3-3. Both sides traded
goals in the sixth and seventh
rounds. In the eighth round,
Lawrence Olums shot went wide
right, meaning a score for Salt
Lake would win them the cup. Salt
Lakes Sebastian Velasquez stepped
up to the mark and sent a shot in
on net. Goalkeeper Nielsen was
able to make a diving save and
keep Sportings hopes alive.
In the 10th round, defender
Aurelien Collin stepped up and
put an impressive upper 90 goal
behind Salt Lakes keeper. Lovel
Palmer of Salt Lake responded
with a kick hard of the crossbar.
Tis miss gave Sporting the victory
and the MLS Cup win.
Collin was named MLS Cup
MVP for his impressive perfor-
mance.
Te Frenchman said on his
penalty goal, I had never taken
a penalty shot in a game before, I
put my best foot on it and scored.
Coach Vermes agreed.
It was the best penalty (kick) I
had ever seen him take, he said.
In practice, in warm ups, he saves
it for the big moments.
Sporting Kansas City delivered in
the biggest game of the year. Tey
played their hardest and capped of
an impressive campaign with the
MLS Cup victory in front of the
sold-out crowd at Sporting Park.

T
he NFL RedZone channel is ofered
by various cable and satellite provid-
ers, and if you have not checked it out
yet, I highly recommend it. Te NFL Red-
Zone channel is a mind-boggling experience
that is self-described as the future of watch-
ing football.
On the average Sunday, most football fans
can watch anywhere from three-to-fve dif-
ferent football games over the course of the
day, but the NFL RedZone channel gives you
the ability to see the big plays from every sin-
gle game.
Te main concept that started the NFL
RedZone channel was to show every touch-
down from every game on one channel. Tis
is done by switching coverage to the games
that are currently inside the red zone, so that
fans can see every scoring play. Te concept
works fawlessly, giving essentially an en-
tire afernoon of nothing but the highlights
of games. Highlights might be boring for
a fan that wants to enjoy a game in its en-
tirety, so the channel singles out one or two
close games to show in near entirety while
red zone drives are not being made in other
games.
Another bonus of the NFL RedZone chan-
nel is that you will never see a single com-
mercial during the six hours of binge-watch-
ing football. Tis is the saving grace, because
no one wants to watch commercials when
you could see the big play happening in an
out-of-market game.
Te bread and butter though of the NFL
RedZone channel comes with its ability to
show multiple games at the same time.
With its multiple-box format, the NFL Red-
Zone channel can show
the Packers game-win-
ning drive at the same
time as the onside kick
is going on in Phil-
adelphia. And if the
Patriots are making a
comeback, the network
enables you to watch
all three games at once!
I fnd the NFL Red-
Zone channel to be
a gif from above on
Sundays, because it
allows me to keep up
with all of my fantasy
football players in one convenient place.
Another amazing detail that the channel
gives its viewers is afer the last game ends
it broadcasts an elegant montage of all the
touchdowns from that Sundays games in an
easy to view way.
Overall, the NFL Red-
Zone Channel is the ul-
timate football viewing
experience, and every fan
should give it a chance. I
promise that you will not re-
gret it, and you will never want
to go back to watching one foot-
ball game at a time. Technology
is beautiful, especially when it
gives you the ability to view more
football in one day than you ever
thought possible. Hurry now, youve
only got three weeks lef to change
your football viewing life!

BALTIMORE At frst, it
appeared the unrelenting snow
would be the main topic of con-
versation. Ten came an incredible
furry of touchdowns fve over
the fnal 125 seconds that truly
made this a one-of-a-kind, unfor-
gettable football game.
Afer Joe Flacco threw a 9-yard
touchdown pass to rookie Marlon
Brown with four seconds lef
to give the Baltimore Ravens a
29-26 victory over the Minnesota
Vikings on Sunday, the Ravens
couldn't contain their excitement.
"Do you believe in miracles?" cor-
nerback Jimmy Smith shouted as
he ran of the feld.
"What just happened?" Ravens
kicker Justin Tucker exclaimed.
Te game featured six diferent
lead changes in the fourth quarter.
Tat is the most fourth-quarter
lead changes in a single game in
NFL history.
And Jacoby Jones, who took a
kickof back 77 yards for a touch-
down during the back-and-forth
excitement, said, "You couldn't
even get emotional. It was too
confusing."
Brown's catch concluded a fve-
play, 80-yard drive that took only
41 seconds.
Before that:
Dennis Pitta, in his season de-
but following a hip injury, caught
a 1-yard, fourth-down pass from
Flacco for a 15-12 lead with 2:05
remaining.
Toby Gerhart, subbing for an
injured Adrian Peterson, ran 41
yards to put Minnesota up 19-15
with 1:27 to go.
Jones went the distance with
the ensuing kickof to give Balti-
more a 22-19 edge with 1:16 lef.
Matt Cassel threw a 79-yard
touchdown pass to Cordarrelle
Patterson with 45 seconds to play.
Ten the Ravens (7-6) answered
with one fnal salvo.
"I've never seen a game like that
before," Baltimore linebacker
Terrell Suggs said. "Besides the
Super Bowl, that's probably the
most special win I've been a part
of. Crazy game."
Baltimore (7-6) has its frst three-
game winning streak of the season
and the inside track for the second
AFC wild card.
Minnesota (3-9-1) lost Peterson
in the second quarter with an
ankle injury, then dropped a game
it appeared to have won. Twice.
"Tere were so many momentum
shifs in the last couple of minutes,
it seemed like the game would
never end," Cassel said.
Peterson, the NFL's leading
rusher and 2012 MVP, hurt his
right foot in the second quarter
afer catching a short pass and
being tackled near the sideline by
linebacker Arthur Brown.
"We did X-rays, and it came back
pretty clear," said Peterson, who
fnished with 13 yards on seven
carries. "Te next step is to get an
MRI done (Monday) and fnd out
more."
Gerhart gained 89 yards on 15
attempts. Cassel went 17 for 28
yards for 265 yards.
Flacco completed 28 of 50 passes
for 245 yards and three intercep-
tions.
"It was unlikely that we win this
game today," he said, "but we did."
Te Vikings took their frst lead
when Cassel threw an 8-yard pass
to Jerome Simpson afer an inter-
ception by safety Andrew Sendejo.
"You think you've seen every-
thing and then a game like this
happens," Tucker said. "To sum it
up in one word, it was pandemo-
nium."
NFL
Ravens rally past Vikings for close victory on frozen eld
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, left, runs for a touchdown in front of Baltimore Ravens defensive end
Chris Canty in the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Dec. 8, in Baltimore.
Boulder, Colo You could say
Askia Booker primed himself to
take the Bufaloes fnal shot on
Saturday afernoon.
With time expiring, Booker
pulled up from three and knocked
down a shot to give Colorado a
33-30 lead at halfime.
Tat might as well have been the
game winner. Yet Booker duplicat-
ed the feat, sinking another three
as time expired in the second half
to give the Bufaloes the win.
At the end of it all, Booker stood
frozen in place, his face a mix of
shock and pride. Te students
mobbed their classmates on the
court at Coors Events Center and
John Elway personally congratulat-
ed each player as they walked into
the locker room.
Such is life when you take down
the No. 6 team in the nation, a
former rival and the alma mater of
Colorado coach Tad Boyle.
You could say Kansas fell when
Booker hit his frst dagger at the
end of the frst half. Really, the
Jayhawks fell 75-72 as Bookers
dj vu gave Kansas its second loss
in the last three games.
Afer a promising start in which
the Jayhawks took an
18-9 lead the team
fell fat, struggling
to fnd any momen-
tum, let alone hang
onto it.
Afer the frst
10 minutes they
controlled the game,
Kansas coach Bill
Self said.
Indeed, the Bufaloes zone
defense stymied Kansas ofense.
Afer working through Joel Em-
biid (fouled out with 10 points, 4
rebounds) early on, Kansas was
forced to shoot from the outside.
No matter whom Self put on the
foor, the shots just wouldnt drop.
Te Jayhawks went just 5-20 from
3-point range.
Its easier to score in zone than
man-to-man, Embiid said. We
didnt really know how to do it like
we always do in practice.
Even more worrisome was the
fact that Kansas gave up 14 turn-
overs, resulting in 24 points for
Colorado.
And yet, with the Jayhawks mak-
ing life tougher for themselves,
they still kept the pressure on the
Bufaloes to put them away.
It wasnt that Kansas was out of
the game, but for a stretch it never
felt like it was in it; as if some
players never came back from the
Bahamas.
Tats not to say there werent
things for Self to build on.
Andrew Wiggins came out in the
second half looking more aggres-
sive than he has all season, and
even with a few bonehead plays
namely a turnover or two that gave
Colorado easy points he was the
main reason Kan-
sas hung around
until the end.
Tats what I try
to do, Wiggins
said. Tats what
Im best at. I think
it worked out.
It worked
enough for 22
points (7-11) and fve rebounds,
and it worked enough for Wiggins
to draw a foul on a three-pointer
with Kansas down 71-68. Wiggins
would hit two of the ensuing three
free throws, which were all that
mattered if the Jayhawks wanted a
chance to steal back a victory.
Once Colorado hit another free
throw of its own, Perry Ellis sliced
his way through trafc for a quick
layup to tie the game with three
seconds on the clock.
It was perfect, Self said. Pick
and pop with their big guy guard-
ing Perry and he made a really
good play.
But as overtime loomed Booker
rose up. He caught the ball at
mid-court with time for one or
two steps. As it turned out, he
found space to swim around Frank
Mason contorting his body for an
awkward Euro step before launch-
ing his game-winner.
Self said the Jayhawks philoso-
phy is to make the shooter catch
the ball in front of you. Booker
was able to get of to the side,
giving him the small look at the
basket, which turned out was all
he needed.
It was more him making a good
play than bad defense, Self said
afer falling to Colorado for the
frst time in his career.
Still, I wish we could do it over.

Sporting Kansas City players celebrate their win against Real Salt Lake for the 2013 MLS Cup. This is Kansas Citys rst professional sports title since 2000.
Ninety minutes of regulation
and 30 minutes of extra time were
not enough to decide a victor of
the MLS Cup on Saturday. It took
10 rounds of penalty kicks for
Sporting Kansas City to defeat
Real Salt Lake at Sporting Park.
Tis was Kansas Citys frst profes-
sional sports title since 2000.
Te game got of to a rough
start. Sporting midfelder Oriol
Rosell was substituted out in
the eighth minute for Lawrence
Olum. Tis substitution was made
due to injury and was the earliest
substitution in MLS Cup history.
Te opening minutes of the game
were slow due to injuries and
large stoppages of play.
Half of the feld was complete-
ly frozen, Sporting head coach
Peter Vermes said. It was almost
unplayable.
Both head coaches had similar
complaints about the feld. But
like Vermes said, Tats the
beauty of sports, both teams have
to play in it.
Te frst half did not have a lot
of highlights. In the 29th minute,

A
t the beginning of the
season Kansas coach Bill
Self quipped that senior
transfer Tarik Black would have
the opportunity to play as much
as he wants this year. Self trusted
the three-year starter at Memphis
would jump right into the same
role for the Jayhawks.
During that press conference Self
said that freshman Joel Embiid has
a long way to go before he would
see a ton of minutes. We were also
told that Naadir Tarpe was the
best option to run Kansas ofense.
Te point being: things change.
Situations change, players develop
and needs must be met.
On Saturday Self trotted out
a lineup with freshman Frank
Mason starting over Tarpe. If
Self continues to tinker with his
starters he should look at swapping
Black for Embiid next.
Tats not to put blame on Black.
Hes not a scapegoat for Kansas
dropping two of its last three
games. Basketball is about the
team, and theres no denying at
this moment that the Jayhawks are
a better team with Embiid in the
game.
Afer watching Colorado defeat
Kansas at the buzzer, Gary Parrish
of CBS Sports suggested the switch
as well, noting the best lineup for
the Jayhawks would have Mason,
Wayne Selden Jr., Andrew Wig-
gins, Perry Ellis and Joel Embiid
starting.
Again, its not that Black isnt
a valuable asset. He provides a
physical game and has shown hes
capable of igniting the team with
thunderous dunks. Te problem is
that his efciency is staggeringly
low.
Black is averaging 3.5 points
per game heading into Tuesdays
matchup with Florida. Tere have
been three games where he didnt
record a single point. Which might
not be the case if he could stay out
of foul trouble. In the 89 minutes
hes played so far, Black has picked
up 23 fouls with many of his calls
coming before the frst media
timeout.
But this is an adjustment period
for Black just as it is for many of
his freshman teammates. He may
be a senior, but Black is learning
a new system and doing so under
the new hand-check rules. He isnt
just being taught how to play at
Kansas, hes fguring how to play
defense, period.
Tis puts him in an awkward
situation of sorts. As hes been
developing his own game, Self has
tasked Black with helping develop
Embiid transition to the college
level.
Jojo can be as good as he wants
to be, Black said earlier in the year.
Its my job to help him mature in
his game, understand a couple of
things and just help him with the
little things on the court to make
him that much better of a player.
Since then, Embiid has exploded
on the court and in the national
conversation, where the pundits
who boasted about Andrew Wig-
gins being the number one overall
pick in the NBA draf are starting
to say the same things about the
freshman from Cameroon.
Te Jayhawks look to fow more
freely when Embiid is on the foor
and his fnishing ability seems to
improve with each shot he takes.
We were told the seven-foot
center would see a lot of time
right away. In each of the last two
games Embiid played more than 20
minutes. Currently hes averaging
9.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per
contest.
Tings change. It doesnt mean
that Black is a bad player, or that
he cant break out of this funk.
Still, if Self is going to mix up his
starters again, no one could blame
him for inserting Embiid.
