Elden Tefft, sculptor and University professor, passed away last week at age 95. Teffts most notable work was the Jayhawk sculpture in front of Strong Hall.
LANG
Contemporary
issues
Langs book focus on are the
killing of Trayvon Martin
in 2012 and the political
unrest over the past year in
Ferguson, Mo., surrounding
the shooting of Michael
Brown.
As for how these issues
relate to the University, Lang
said he believes universities
around the country must
continually strive to achieve
diversity among those who
study or work within the
institution.
We have to continue to
push ourselves and others to
make sure that the University
as an institution is something
that is accessible to the many
and not to the few, Lang
said. That means that we
have to be mindful of making
sure that the University is
a place where, for example,
people of color are present
as students, staff, faculty and
administration.
In other words, part of our
back.
DeSalvo added he was
much more disappointed in
the second and third tweets
that followed because he
found them disrespectful to
those who were offended or
upset.
We
generally
are
respectful, and this is one
of those times where we
couldve and shouldve done
better, DeSalvo said.
In the future, we will
continue to narrow our focus
on the positive behaviors of
students, DeSalvo added.
We will be supportive of
all students and focus on
the positive behaviors, like
staying together, checking
on each other and agreeing
to stay together, as the norm
for Jayhawks.
This isnt the first time
the Buddy System account
has deleted a controversial
tweet.
Completely separate from
the current incident is a

regret(s). The
moments in our lives we
look back on, wishing
we had done something
differently, stem from
dangerous assumptions.
Never assume you wont
get the job. Never assume
you know what will be
on the test. And never
assume your friend wont
understand you and this
guy developing feelings for
each other. Assumptions
like these lead to no job, a
bad test grade and losing
out on what could be a
successful relationship.
Getting through college
would be nearly impossible
if it werent for friends.
When the risk of losing
one comes along, it can
be nerve-wracking and
uncomfortable. If you

I can only imagine she
cares about you, too. The
cornerstone of a good
friendship is honesty. She
needs to know you care
and want to be honest with
her, which is why you are
approaching her about this.
Tell her how much you
value her friendship and
how boys will never be
more important than that.

removed.
In order to change this
dangerous status quo,
young adults must begin to
fully participate within their
government, whether it be
through voting, protesting
or even running for office.
We have enabled Brownback
to drain Kansas schools of
funding and strip anti-discrimination protections
from an entire subsection of
government employees.
It is up to the young voters
of Kansas to play an active
role in reversing these
policies.

I share this information,
most drop their jaws in awe
while furrowing their brows
in confusion. I get asked
questions like, How do
you survive? or comments
such as I think you would
change your mind if you
had a burger. I tell them the
reasons for my lifestyle choice
are nutritional, ethical and
environmental.
Growing up in an Indian-Hindu household instilled
these beliefs in me. In the
Hindu religion, every living
thing has a soul and therefore
has the right to live. Taking
away these rights is viewed as
unfair especially because
it is possible to live a healthy
life without consuming meat.
We may have more power
over animals, but that doesnt
mean we should exercise our
power in this way. Unfortunately, we live in a time where
self-satisfaction has the ability
to easily overshadow ethics.
There are also comparisons between herbivores and
humans that have drawn
theories toward the belief that
humans werent meant to eat
meat to begin with. Cardiologist William C. Roberts, who
is the editor-in-chief of the
American Journal of Cardiology and medical director of
the cardiovascular institute at
Baylor University Medical Center, compared the
characteristics of herbivores
and carnivores to find that
humans were more similar to
herbivores.

Taylor Swift may soon be
facing some fresh-faced competition. At this years KUs
Got Talent, The Sharp Sisters,
freshman twins Kelley and
Amanda Sharp from Olathe,
won the show singing and
playing guitar to their original song Burn the Haystack.
KUs Got Talent was the
first performance that the
two used both electric and
acoustic guitars together in
public.
[Amandas] guitar solo was
pretty awesome and was a
pretty cool moment, Kelley
said.
This wasnt the twins first
experience with a talent
competition, though. They
have previously competed in
Olathes Got Talent, and earlier this year, the twins tried
out for Americas Got Talent. The two are waiting to
hear if they will advance in
the competition. Kelley said
they should know in March
or April if they are selected to
be on the televised version of
the show.
Amanda said though the
$400 prize money was a
strong motivator for entering
KUs Got Talent, the two also
were eager to showcase their
music and see how they compared with other college-level
talent.
After the event, Kelley said
she was surprised at how
KUs Got Talent turned out
and that they were both happy with the comments the
judges gave them.
It was a good validator,
Kelley said. Its always nice
when someone tells you
youre doing a good job.

After losing to West Virginia last week
and defeating TCU on Saturday, the
Jayhawks are locked in on keeping
their lead in the Big 12 as they head to
Manhattan. The Sunflower Showdown
has been nothing but bragging rights
for Kansas for the most part the past
few years. Heading into Manhattan,
the Jayhawks sit alone on top of the
Big 12 standings, and they hope to
keep it that way.

2014-15 basketball season can
be cut up into three digestible
chunks. First, the non-conference,
where the Wildcats struggled to a
7-6 record. Second, the first seven
games of conference play, where
Kansas State went 5-2, defeating teams it should with an early
share of first place. And third, a
current stretch of seven losses in
eight games. From February until

Lily Behrmann, set the table
for many of the Jayhawks
runs. Evans and Behrmann
combined to record seven of
Kansas 14 hits.
If the top of the order is
on, like they were today, were
going to score a lot of runs,
said coach Megan Smith. I
cant say enough about Lilys
performance. She did a great
job hitting it hard, laying
down a bunt, mixing things
up. I thought she looked
phenomenal today.
Behrmann led the Jayhawks
with four hits. Evans led the
team in scoring with three
runs and junior Chaley
Brickey led the team with
four RBIs against Illinois
State on Sunday.

HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
In the first half, Kansas was absolutely on fire, shooting better than 54 percent
from the field, 44 percent from three and 80 percent from the free-throw line.
TCU shot worse than 45 percent from the field and 35 percent from three. One
might expect the Jayhawks to have a fairly sizeable lead going into the break
with those numbers, but the team only held a six-point advantage, due largely
to two things: fouls and turnovers. TCU posted 14 combined fouls and turnovers in the first half, whereas Kansas had a combined 19.
2ND HALF
With freshman forward Cliff Alexander on the bench for much of the second
half, the Jayhawks were again dominated on the boards. Kansas allowed eight
second-half offensive rebounds to a TCU squad that averaged 8.3 offensive
rebounds per game in its past three contests. For this reason, the score never
really got out of hand, but by the end, it was clear Kansas was the superior
team. Junior forward Perry Ellis was especially good in the second half, scoring
15 of his game-high 23 points while making all six of his field-goal attempts.
GAME TO REMEMBER
Perry Ellis was spectacular against TCU. The junior scored
23 points while shooting 90 percent from the field, with two
of those points coming on a ridiculous SportsCenter Top 10
slam dunk. Student manager Chris Huey also had a game to
remember, playing in his first game with the Jayhawks. Huey
checked into the game with 35 seconds to go, and while he
did not score, he did find his way onto the box score, which is
an accomplishment in its own right.

BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
Freshman guard Devonte Graham converts a three in the win against TCU on Saturday. Graham made all seven of his
field-goal attempts and both of his three-pointers for a total of 20 points.
GAME TO FORGET
Neither Landen Lucas nor Kelly Oubre Jr.
were able to do much of anything against
the Horned Frogs; neither scored on combined 0-of-6 shooting in 28 minutes. In
the Jayhawks past two contests, the duo
averaged 21.5 points and 11.5 rebounds
per game, so it was surprising to see such a
dramatic dip in production.

After
completing
its
season sweep of TCU
Saturday, Kansas will travel
to Manhattan to take on
Kansas State for the second
time this season.
The Jayhawks defeated
the Wildcats 68-57 in their
previous matchup. The
Jayhawks will enter the game
with a 22-5 record overall
and an 11-3 conference
record, good for the top spot
in the Big 12. The Wildcats
are 13-15 on the season with
a 6-9 showing in the Big 12.
Kansas State has lost
seven of its past eight
games, with its only win
coming in a Valentines
Day victory against thenNo. 17 Oklahoma. Marcus
Foster leads the Wildcats in
scoring with 13.4 points per
contest.
Foster is having a solid
season for K-State after
returning for one more
season
in
Manhattan.
Foster shoots 40.4 percent
from the field and records
2.3 rebounds per game.
Nino Williams leads Kansas
State with 5.2 rebounds per
game.
Foster led the way against
Kansas in the matchup in
Lawrence, with 19 points on
7-of-18 shooting. Thomas
Gipson had 19 points of his
own on 7-of-13 shooting
and added seven rebounds.
Junior Perry Ellis had a
team-high 16 points on
7-of-9 shooting against
the Wildcats along with 12
rebounds and three assists.
