Afer their sons frst birthday,

Wilson Coles parents gave his

birth mother a photo album.
Its full of black-and-white
baby photos and happy family
portraits.
Denise Leonard loves one
photo in particular: herself,
Wilsons birth mother, and
Heather Cole, his adoptive
mother, smiling together in
the hospital.
Denise gave her son to a cou-
ple in need in an open adop-
tion two years ago. Now a
30-year-old sophomore from
Topeka in the School of So-
cial Welfare, she is studying
to become an adoption coun-
selor. She wants to use her ex-
periences to help other birth
mothers.
I want to shout my story to
the world, Leonard said. I
love our adoption story.
In August 2010, Denise
found out she was pregnant.
She and Jon Leonard had been
dating since April. Tere were
a lot of what-ifs.
Denise was living in a home-
less shelter and fnishing an
associates degree in biological
science. Having a newborn
would jeopardize her job hunt.
From day one, Jon was sup-
portive.
Denise never considered
abortion an option. She re-
members feeling hurt when
her mom, who got pregnant at
the age of 16, would wish she
had aborted Denise.
Jon brought up adoption. If
its a girl, I want to keep it,
Denise decided. If its a boy,
maybe we could help a child-
less couple.
Before meeting Jon, Denise
already had three sons from
previous relationships; Jon
already had one son from his
previous marriage. With four
sons, Denise had always want-
ed a daughter to play dolls
with.
Were taught in preschool to
share, and I already had three
sons plus a stepson, Denise
said.
In October, the sonogram
technician told Denise and Jon
their child was a boy. Denise
remembers crying so hard the
technician was uncomfortable
enough to leave the room.
I beat myself up over that for
a long time before I realized
this is my purpose, Denise
said. Tis is what Im here for.
I was necessary to this couple.
It was necessary for him to be
a boy.
Denise and Jon went through
an adoption agency to choose
the parents to place their son
with. Heather and Tad Cole
seemed perfect from the frst
question when they met for
the frst time in the Cole living
room.
So do you have any names
picked out? Denise asked.
Yes, Heather said with a
straight face. We were going
to name him Leslie Francis
Ashley.
Denise panicked. She had
been worried that the couple
would name their son some-

Last week Naismith Hall an-
nounced the members of its
inaugural class of Naismith
Hall Scholars for Spring 2014.
Naismith residents Dalton
Jorns, Austen McGuire, Chloe
Hosid and Jake Novicof were
selected as Naismith Hall
Scholars on the basis of aca-
demic achievement, commu-
nity involvement and lead-
ership. All four winners will
receive a $1,000 scholarship.
Naismith Hall, a private res-
idence hall just of campus,
created the Naismith Hall
Scholars program in an efort
to more efectively contribute
to the academic success of its
residents.
Te motivation for starting
the Naismith Scholars pro-
gram was to celebrate and re-
ward our residents, said Sara
Mann, the general manager of
Naismith Hall. We look for
any way that we can contribute
to and invest in the academic
futures of our residents.
Afer being selected as the
top four applicants out of a
pool that Mann referred to as
extremely competitive, each
of this years Naismith Schol-
ars received a phone call in-
forming them that they had
been chosen as a winner of the
scholarship.
When I got the call, I was
surprised more than any-
thing, said Dalton Jorns, a
sophomore from Olathe. I
hadnt really expected to win;
I just did it and hoped for the
best.
Jorns added that the creation
of the Naismith Scholars pro-
gram illustrates that Naismith
Hall is serious about giving
back to the University com-
munity.
Tey take care of us and put
a genuine efort into making
our college experience a posi-
tive one, Jorns said.
Austen McGuire, a sopho-
more from Overland Park,
experienced nothing short of
disbelief when he received the
call.
It didnt feel real until I was
holding the big check and
having my picture taken, Mc-
Guire said.
McGuire, who transferred
to the University from Nor-
wich University in Vermont,
expressed appreciation for the
fnancial help the scholarship
will provide.
It means a lot and its good
to know you have people back-
ing you up, McGuire said.
Transferring here from Ver-
mont, I dont have a lot of the
scholarships that you get as a
high school senior coming out
of high school.
Chloe Hosid, a sophomore
from Plano, Texas, will use
the scholarship to further her
career goal of designing en-

Afer 20 years as the dean
of the School of Architecture,
Design and Planning, John
Gaunt will miss the inten-
sity of the wider university
community involvement, but
looks forward to being more
engaged with his students.
Gaunt announced earlier
in the month that he would
step down as dean through an
email to faculty and students,
but will continue to teach In-
tro to Architecture and a free-
hand drawing class.
No regrets for those 20
years, Gaunt said. I have a
sense of accomplishment and
involvement and value, and
the teaching part of it has
been an enrichment, which
from here on Ill have a more
direct and defned involve-
ment in, but really a diferent
kind of challenge.
Before serving as the dean,
Gaunt worked for a profes-
sional practice, but he says
that he had always anticipated
becoming part of the academ-
ic community.
My interests come from my
own education and the dis-
coveries I made during my
education and it was a natural
inclination for me to, along
with the things a dean is re-
sponsible for, [be] engaged
with students, Gaunt said.
According to professor
Kent Spreckelmeyer, who has
worked closely with Gaunt
and was on the search com-
mittee that hired Gaunt, his
experience has infuenced a
generation of students.
Teres very few people in
architecture now that have the
kind of abilities that he does
to transfer that kind of infor-
mation to students, Spreck-
elmeyer said.
Gaunt adds that he tries to
use his experience to convey
knowledge and inspire in-
terest while being careful to
avoid direct reference to his
own experience.
In drawing, for example, I
do demonstrate drawing in
various ways, but I try to be
very careful with that because
the point is not to do it as I do
it, but to inspire them to fnd
their way to do it, Gaunt said.
He says that this intuitive
transfer is a two-way street

I was in my room when I
got the call and I was so hap-
py, Hosid said. Its a huge
fnancial help. I love nature
and I think its important
to preserve it. Im really in-
terested in responsible and
innovative design that facili-
tates more natural processes
taking place.
Jorns, McGuire and Hosid
each spoke fondly of their
experiences living in the
Naismith Hall community
and described the unique
events that take place there,
like a recent fundraiser for
St. Judes Childrens Research
Hospital, where residents
paid for the privilege of hit-
ting their respective resident
advisors in the face with pies.
Naismith is an extremely
close-knit community and it
has such an energy about it;
people pick up on it even on
short tours, Mann said. Its
a happy place to live.

thing girly. Heather laughed and
explained they were joking.
It was nice to have that
smart-assery that I have given
back to me, Denise said. Its
comfortable knowing she has
some of the same qualities that
I do.
Jon said that he became more
confdent in placing their son in
adoption afer meeting Heather
and Tad. Adoption was the best
route.
Afer going through the pro-
cess of searching for a couple,
meeting them, and talking to
them, we realized we were mak-
ing these people happier, Jon
Leonard said.
In December 2010, Jon pro-
posed. Now married, Denise
and Jon are raising their four
sons together.
In their open adoption, De-
nise and Jon are in contact with
Heather, Tad and Wilson Cole.
Tey say that visiting Wilson at
the Cole house is like dropping
in on a nephew.
I wholeheartedly believe that
thats in his best interest, Heath-
er said.
Heather was also adopted.
Since her adoption was closed,
her biological parents have nev-
er been part of her life. Aside
from wanting to know medical
history, reaching out to them
would feel weird or even a little
disloyal.
One of the reasons she keeps
a relationship with Denise is so
Wilson doesnt feel that awk-
wardness.
At some point, hes going to
have questions, and Im not go-
ing to be able to answer all of
them, Heather said.
Heather and Denise talk
regularly. A few months afer
Wilsons adoption, Denise met
Heather at a cofee shop with a
list of worries: Would Wilson
one day hate her for not keeping
him? Would her other sons hate
her for not placing them with
families like the Coles? Would
Wilson want to keep his bio-
logical mother in his life when
Heather is his mother?
Shell be there when he skins
his knee, Denise said. Shell
be there when he gets his heart
broken. Shell be there when he
fails a test. Tats what a mom is.
I just want to be recognized as
the one who gave him all of that:
gave him life, gave him a mom.
Heather recognized Denises
strengths. Denise is always giv-
ing back to others and fghting
for the morally right thing. Shes
kept a positive attitude despite
the struggles in her life and
knows the insecurities that can
concern birth mothers.
Why dont you just apply
that? Heather asked.
Heather encouraged Denise to
go back to school. Afer fnish-
ing her bachelors and masters
degrees through the School of
Social Welfare, Denise plans to
coach other birth mothers to see
how meaningful placing their
child with adoptive parents is.
Adoption has given her purpose.
I was necessary, Denise said.
Tere were so many factors in
me choosing this specifc cou-
ple that it was almost like divine
intervention. I was necessary to
their life. Teres a reason Im
here.
Edited by Tara Bryant
because of the payback that a
teacher receives when they get
to see that students are beneft-
ing from their class.
Its a sense of what you have
to ofer being received and
having value and thats not
always an easy thing to mea-
sure, Gaunt said. You know it
when you do it well.
Spreckelmeyer says that he
also looks forward to Gaunt
becoming a full-time faculty
member, because he was al-
ways more of a colleague than
a dean.
Im looking forward to him
taking an even more active
role in that dimension of the
education of students, Spre-
ckelmeyer said. I think he
could have a major impact in
not only design, but the other
schools as well.
Other than spending more
time teaching, Gaunt looks
forward to continuing his
projects in drawing and metal
work, as well as doing some
traveling.
I have no prospect of bore-
dom whatsoever in stepping
down from this position,
Gaunt said.

LA HABRA, Calif. Ex-
perts say a bigger earthquake
along the lesser-known fault
that gave Southern Califor-
nia a moderate shake could
do more damage to the re-
gion than the long-dreaded
"Big One" from the more fa-
mous San Andreas Fault.
Te Puente Hills thrust
fault, which brought Friday
night's magnitude-5.1 quake
centered in La Habra and
well over 100 afershocks
by Sunday, stretches from
northern Orange County
under downtown Los An-
geles into Hollywood a
heavily populated swath of
the Los Angeles area.
A magnitude-7.5 earth-
quake along that fault could
prove more catastrophic
than one along the San An-
dreas, which runs along the
outskirts of metropolitan
Southern California, seis-
mologists said.
Te U.S. Geological Survey
estimates that such a quake
along the Puente Hills fault
could kill 3,000 to 18,000
people and cause up to $250
billion in damage. In con-
trast, a larger magnitude 8
quake along the San Andreas
would cause an estimated
1,800 deaths.
In 1987, the fault caused
the Whittier Narrows earth-
quake. Still considered mod-
erate at magnitude 5.9, that
quake killed eight people and
did more than $350 million
in damage.
Part of the problem with
the potential damage is that
the fault runs near so many
vulnerable older buildings,
many made of concrete, in
downtown Los Angeles and
Hollywood. And because the
fault, discovered in 1999, is
horizontal, heavy reverbera-
tions are likely to be felt over
a wide area.
Te shaking from a 7.5
quake in the center of urban
Los Angeles could be so in-
tense it would lif heavy ob-
jects in the air.
Tat would "hit all of down-
town," Jones said. "And ev-
erywhere from La Habra to
Hollywood."
About 150 afershocks,
including one of magni-
tude-4.1, were felt since
Friday night's quake, which
forced several dozen people
in the Orange County city of
Fullerton out of their homes
afer frefghters discovered
foundation problems that
made the buildings unsafe.

fault could be disastrous

A
few weeks ago the
Oscars rounded out
Hollywoods award
season, the time of year
people suddenly develop
a vested interest in which
flm will be deemed the
best of the year.
For some its a personal
grievance that Leonardo
Dicaprio lost yet again
this year, and he and I
remain in a dead heat
in the little gold statues
department. Tats how
we talk about not being
selected by the Academy
to receive their award. Not
winning is characterized
as losing. Never mind
critical acclaim, fame, box
ofce revenue, or intrinsic
satisfaction for that matter.
Even if youre unbelievably
fortunate enough to be
nominated for an Academy
Award, if the committee
doesnt choose you to be
number one, youve lost.
Te United States has an
obsession with winners
and losers and it dominates
our discourse. Never mind
that this years best picture
nominees represented a
wide variety of genres and
unrelated themes. Tey
must ft our discourse and
be ranked because we must
have a winner.
Of course competition
dates back beyond the
Roman Empire, even to
Cain and Abels sibling
rivalry, but it has never
been more at home than
in America. Our election
season is longer and
wrought with comically
more drama than anywhere
else in the world. To our
neighboring democracies
across the pond its no
diferent than an American
soap opera.
None of this is inherently
bad, in fact March Madness
is perhaps a byproduct
of this fervor so I wont
complain. But whats
concerning are the more
sinister manifestations of
this Ricky Bobby if youre
not frst youre last culture.
Te winner-take-all
attitude is evident in how
our current events are
framed. Tis attitude,
aided by fear-mongering
cable news talking heads,
becomes consequential
when it is the lens
Americans apply to the
outside world and becomes
how popular perception of
other nations, and the U.S.s
role in the world, is shaped.
Evidence of such an
obsession is recognizable in
the discourse surrounding
international relations in
popular headlines such as
the burgeoning threat of
a developing China. Te
dialogue cultivates an us
vs. them mentality driven
by a misconception that
the global economy is a
zero-sum one. In this case
a situation with a winner
and a loser between the
U.S. and China has been
artifcially crafed to ft how
Americans view the world.
In Russias annexation
of Ukraine this attitude
again seeps into the
conversation. In this case
the efects of this kind of
American exceptionalism
steers the discussion back
toward the U.S. and how
Russias actions are directly
related to America. Tat
Putins motives are instead
motivated by centuries old
regional relationships that
have little or nothing to
do with the United States
actions hardly even enters
the discussion.
Te most serious
encroachment of
this culture is how it
compounds what is shaping
up to be my lifetimes most
chronic economic ailment
income inequality.
Capitalism is all about
winners and losers. Ideally
hard work, innovation,
and talent instead of
opportunity, circumstance,
and luck separate the
winners and losers. Tat
may never be the exact
case but recently the trend
would seem to indicate a
turn for the worse.
Income inequality
has reached levels
unprecedented in the
modern era but part of
what gets in the way of
appropriate identifcation
of this issue is an obsession
with winning that placates
popular consciousness.
Instead of addressing the
problem, the status quo
dictates we accept that
the wealthy and the poor
deserve what they receive.
Te winners are celebrated
and the losers are shamed.
When Christian Bale won
the Oscar for supporting
actor for Te Fighter in
2011 he thanked the flms
producers, for pushing us
out there and letting people
know it exists, so many
movies are just brilliant but
nobody ever knows about
them.
Tere needs to be more
room to ask questions
about whos winning and
whos losing because our
producers lack parity.

INSPIRATION
Only in the USA: where not
winning is considered losing
E
conomic growth is
commonly perceived to
be the solution to many
of the woes of the modern
world. Problems, from
recessions to overpopulation
to climate change, can,
according to some, be solved
with continual growth.
However, it is becoming
increasingly clear that
perpetual growth of the world
economy is causing undue and
unsustainable strain on the
environment. As economist
Herman Daly writes, Relying
on growth . . . might be fne if
the global economy existed in
a void, but it does not. Rather
the economy is a subsystem
of the fnite biosphere that
supports it. Economists like
Daly advocate sustainable
economic practices, which
preserve the biosphere while
ensuring economic health.
Public perception on this
issue has changed with time.
In 1984, Gallup began polling
Americans, asking whether
they agree more with the
statement protection of the
environment should be given
priority, even at the risk of
curbing economic growth
or economic growth should
be given priority, even if the
environment sufers to some
extent. Since the poll began,
Americans have tended to
favor the environment over
the economy. However, this
trend reversed following
the 2008 recession. Today,
though, 50 percent favor
the environment over the
economy while 41 percent
hold the opposite view.
Unsurprisingly, a divide
exists between the views of
Republicans and Democrats
on the issue. Today, nearly
two-thirds of Republicans
believe that the economy
should be given priority
while about two-thirds of
Democrats hold that the
environment should be
favored. In addition, younger
demographics tend to favor
the environment over the
economy.
Regardless of public
opinion on the issue, the
perceived need for continual
economic growth is causing
serious problems within
the environment. While the
economy can sufer damage
and recover, most aspects of
the environment do not have
this luxury. As the efects
of climate change become
clearer, it is important that
the world economy change
to refect the need for
environmental preservation.
Daly claims that creating
a sustainable economy is
possible, albeit with drastic
adjustments to the entire
economic system. Tough
these changes may be difcult
for some, it is necessary for
the economy to fnd its place
in and respect the biosphere
it exists in. If this does not
happen, the long-term
consequences will certainly
be far more drastic and
undesirable than changing
policy now.

ECONOMICS
Prioritize environment
over economic growth
I
went to listen to R.J.
Mitte speak about his
cerebral palsy and
experiences living with a
disability. A John Locke fan
whether he knew it or not
(at one point during his talk
he claimed that all people
are inherently good), I
thought that Mittes talk was
insightfulif a bit informal.
In a full ballroom flled
with eager students ready to
share a room with fame, I
was perhaps the only person
there who has not seen more
than thirty seconds of the
show, Breaking Bad, for
which R.J. Mitte is famous.
Tis isnt to say that part of
my motivation wasnt my
curiosity in seeing a celebrity
close-up. On the contrary,
that was certainly part of
my interest. But I am glad
I chose not to watch an
episode of the show before
going to listen to his talk.
My inability to
subsequently know this man
through his role on television
gave me the opportunity
to listen more to his words
than gawk at his face. Of
the many, many things Mitte
said on that stage, there
are a few that stand out to
me. In particular, Mittes
straight-forward, upfront
answer to a question, for
which he responded, I am
able to fll a room like this
because of my good fortune
and privilege. But I realize
that this talk will only matter
to a handful of you, and the
rest are here because of my
privilege. But because of that
handful of people, thats all
that matters.
R.J. Mitte also told a story
of an old woman who fell
with no one to help her,
despite being surrounded by
people. Instead, the people
around her turned away or
stepped over her. In shock
about what he was seeing,
Mitte helped the woman
up and began to take care
of her. And because of his
assistance, the people who
had previously ignored the
woman began to help her.
Tis, I think, was the most
important point of Mittes
speech for myself. Mittes
point was that every cause
needs a leader and that when
one person takes initiative
even alonethey will fnd
followers.
I think this is a very
important point for
students everywhere across
our campus to know and
understand. We have not
all struggled physically,
mentally or emotionally
throughout most of our lives.
We have not all been bullied
so cruelly that we go home to
cry every night. We cannot
all understand these things
or how they afect those who
experience any number of
things.
We can, however, take
initiative. We can be
leaders. We can identify the
problems of our society,
and we can come up with
creative solutions to fx
them. All it takes is one
yes, and knowledge of
where to start. If you are
looking to get more involved
around campus and help
people at the same time,
consider joining the Center
for Community Outreach,
applying for an alternative
break, or volunteering your
time at places like Jubilee
Caf or the Willow safe
center. Remember, you may
not be the one knocking, but
you can build the door for
the one who does knock.

FFA OF THE DAY
The Wind Rises
(Japan):
Only a great, great man
could create a 126-min-
ute cartoon that held the
attention of a semi-mature,
joke-hunting man-boy on a
Friday night. Its a seemingly
impossible feat, yet that sagely
devil did it again. Tat great
man is Hayao Miyazaki. And
the man-boy? Tats me. Try
as I might, I couldnt make
fun of this one. Miyazaki, the
writer and director behind
Spirited Away and Princess
Mononoke, nailed Te
Wind Rises. Lets break it
down:

The Story:
Once you get over the fact
that this movie is a cartoon,
which takes a layman anima-
tion-viewer about an hour
and a half, the slow-moving
story fnally wraps you up
into the warm comforts of
its dreamlike plot fow. Put
less goofly: Its boring at
frst, but gets better. Much
better. We are frst placed
literally inside the child-
hood dreams of the real-life
smart guy Jiro Horikoshi. He
has visions of becoming an
aviation engineer, and draws
inspiration from passages he
read in an old book about
Italian aeronautical engineer
Giovanni Battista Caproni.
Little Jiro then grows up,
goes to college, meets a cutie
named Nahoko and becomes
a hot-shot engineer. Afer a
sweeping life of tender love,
career successes, technical
aero-failures and a trip to
Germany, Jiros work is done.
He is the mastermind behind
very recognizable Japanese
World War II memorabilia,
but I wont spoil it. Although
the flm moves slowly, its bril-
liantly written and well worth
the journey. 8.5/10

The Talent:
Te flms actors are car-
toon characters, so not much
to say here. Tey all do a very
good job though and give
both Beavis and Butt-head a
run for their money. 9/10

The Message:
Te Wind Rises teaches
us to use our fears of failure
to our advantage and to not
be defeated by them. Jiro has
constant visions of his planes
crashing before theyre even
built, but seems to use this
fear to spur his work toward
perfection. We also learn the
importance of being nice to
others and the long-lasting
benefts of going the extra
mile. Lastly, we learn about
the great importance of gen-
uine love for our signifcant
other. 9/10

Total:
88 percent (26.5/30) B+

Queen (India):
Tis movie is perhaps the
greatest chick fick ever
made. Ive never seen Te
Notebook, but Queen
defnitely blows the ones I
have seen clear out of the
water. I normally avoid them,
but the heart, charm and
sheer entertainment value of
Queen lef me cheering for
leading-lady Rani (Kanga-
na Ranaut). Its a movie of
adventure, rejection and
self-discovery, all wrapped up
by a really catchy score. Lets
break it down:

The Story:
Te movie is almost entirely
in Hindi, but those who dont
mind reading subtitles will
love the wickedly original
plot line: Two days before her
wedding, Ranis fanc, Vijay
(Rajkummar Rao), breaks of
the engagement, leaving Rani
and her family devastated.
Naturally feeling dejected
and confused, Rani decides
to go ahead and leave her
home in Delhi and travel to
Paris and Amsterdam alone
on the honeymoon she and
Vijay had planned. She meets
new friends in both cities
who show her that life isnt
as scary and hopeless as she
thought it was. Finally, she
returns to Delhi a newly con-
fdent woman and faces the
dont-know-whatcha-got-till-
its-gone-stricken Vijay, but I
cant spoil the rest. 9/10
The Talent:
Ranaut plays both an
innocent, yet insecure girl
and an attractively confdent
woman very well, but its
the transition from one to
the other that really show-
cases her ability to act. Raos
character is much more static,
but is still quite convincing as
a bit of a jerk with a sof side.
Im telling you, see this movie
for Lisa Haydon, who plays
Ranis Parisian friend. Whew.
Smokin. 9/10
The Message:
Queen teaches us that the
pain of rejection can actually
spur us into something new
and better. We also learn the
importance of stepping out
of our comfort zone and the
excitement an adventure can
bring to the soul. Lastly, we
learn that experiencing other
people is much more satisfy-
ing than relying on them for
happiness. 10/10

$1.5 million needed by May 1 to save Rosies plant
NATIONAL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT A group trying
to save the Detroit-area fac-
tory where Rosie the Riveter
became an icon of American
female empowerment during
World War II said Friday that
it must raise $1.5 million in the
next few weeks to save the site
from being demolished.
Tose behind the Save the
Bomber Plant campaign said
they have raised $6.5 million
of the $8 million they need by
May 1 to buy the Willow Run
Bomber Plant west of Detroit.
Tey want to convert the fac-
tory where Rose Will Mon-
roe and other workers built
B-24 bombers into a museum
dedicated to aviation and the
countless other Rosies who
toiled at similar U.S. plants.
Te group has received sev-
eral extensions by which to
acquire a portion of the old
plant, but the time has come
to either raise the necessary
money or see it relegated to
the history books, said Dennis
Norton, the president of the
Michigan Aerospace Founda-
tion and one of the leaders of
the efort to save the plant.
"Tey need an answer from
us," Norton said, referring
to the trust set up to over-
see properties owned by a
pre-bankruptcy General Mo-
tors. "Demolition is underway,
and they can't stop demolish-
ing the plant, then come back
later."
Norton and his team want to
separate and preserve 175,000
square feet of the Ypsilan-
ti Township, Mich., site and
convert it into a new, expand-
ed home for the Yankee Air
Museum, which would move
from its current location less
than two miles away. Included
would be the iconic 150-foot-
wide doors through which
thousands of bombers lef the
plant to play their role in win-
ning the war.
Although women performed
what had been male-domi-
nated roles in plants all over
the country during the war, it
was Monroe, who was one of
an untold number of wom-
en in the Willow Run plant's
40,000-person workforce, who
caught the eye of Hollywood
producers casting a "riveter"
for a government flm about
the war efort at home.
Monroe, a Kentucky na-
tive who moved to Michigan
during the war, starred as her-
self in the flm and became
one of the best-known fgures
of that era. She represented
the thousands of Rosies who
took factory jobs making mu-
nitions, weaponry and other
things while the nation's men
were of fghting in Europe and
the Pacifc.
Although many Rosies were
let go once the war was over
and the soldiers returned
home, they had shown that
women were capable of do-
ing jobs that had traditionally
been done by only men. An
illustrated poster of a deter-
mined-looking Rosie the Riv-
eter rolling up her sleeve with
the slogan, "We can do it!,"
became an iconic symbol of fe-
male empowerment for Amer-
ican women.
Te Willow Run factory went
back to making automobiles
afer the war ended, and it did
so for more than a half-centu-
ry before closing in 2010.
Michael Montgomery, a
consultant on the fundraising
efort, said it's important to
save the plant where Monroe
and her fellow workers labored
because it is "one of the birth-
places of modern America."
In addition to churning out a
bomber every hour, he said,
workers of diferent races and
sexes worked side-by-side for
equal pay an achievement
that would be acknowledged
at a reconstituted Yankee Air
Museum.
Montgomery says he is
"guardedly optimistic," that
the group can raise the rest of
the money over the next few
weeks, and Norton gave the
group "a 75 percent chance of
pulling it of."
Meetings with some "major
donor prospects" have been
scheduled, Montgomery said,
and the campaign is hosting
two public events over the
next eight days designed to
generate some cash as well as
awareness.

A cat cofn with mummy is displayed as part of the exhibit Soulful
Creatures: Animal Mummies in Ancient Egypt, at the Orange Countys
Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, Calif.
SANTA ANA, Calif. Dogs
and cats are ofen beloved fam-
ily members in current culture,
but animals held such a promi-
nent place in ancient Egyptian
society that tens of millions
were mummifed, some going
into the pharaohs' tombs to
rest eternally in the company
of their kings.
Others had their own special
cemeteries, where they were
buried in cofns as elaborately
carved as those of royal family
members.
Dozens of the best surviv-
ing specimens have taken up
residence at Orange County's
Bowers Museum as the cen-
terpiece of "Soulful Creatures:
Animal Mummies in Ancient
Egypt."
Tere's a dog so well detailed
that even its foppy ears are
prominent. An ancient cat has
been laid to rest with its little
paws drawn across its body,
creating an image eerily rem-
iniscent of a human's funeral
pose.
"It just shows how closely
Egyptians thought of animals
on some basic level as being
very similar to human beings,"
said Edward Bleiberg, the ex-
hibition's curator. "Te Egyp-
tians believed that animals had
souls."
But soulful or not, most peo-
ple other than a king or
queen couldn't aford to
keep a dog or cat around just
for companionship in ancient
times, Bleiberg said.
In all, the exhibition contains
more than 100 items, includ-
ing drawings and sculptures,
as well as the mummifed
remains of dogs, cats, birds,
snakes and crocodiles. Many
are wrapped in intricately pat-
terned linens, and some have
been placed in sarcophaguses
carved to resemble how the
animal looked in life.
To give museum visitors
a better look at what's un-
derneath the wrappings, the
mummies have been CT
scanned and the scans used
to create three-dimensional
images.

Te Hispanic American
Leadership Organization
(HALO) is creating a photo
slideshow to highlight some
of the discrimination Hispanic
students face on campus.
Te purpose of the project is
to bring awareness to minori-
ty discrimination on campus.
Te images will feature stu-
dents holding signs with ex-
amples of discrimination they
have encountered on campus.
People make jokes or throw
around words thinking its fun-
ny, but they dont take into ac-
count how it makes minorities
feel, said Ramiro Sarmiento, a
sophomore from Wichita.
Sarmiento, the president of
HALO, brought the idea to the
organization afer Marilynn
Chavez, the secretary, showed
him I, Too, Am Harvard, a
recent photo campaign created
by Harvard College students.
Te campaign highlights how
black students experience rac-
ism on campus.
Teir video was really pow-
erful and I thought it would be
cool to do something like that
on our own campus, Sarmien-
to said.
HALO leaders said the goal
of their project is to make
people recognize the minority
discrimination that happens
on campus and to encourage
people to check themselves
before they make stereotypical
comments or jokes.
Its more than just rais-
ing awareness though, said
Chavez, a junior from Man-
hattan. We want students to
gain more knowledge about
the Hispanic culture to help
get rid of the stereotypes and
bad stigmas against Latinos.
HALOs project includes
about 15-20 HALO members
who each wrote down exam-
ples of when they felt stereo-
typed on campus. Te stu-
dents then held up their signs
with their examples for their
photos to be taken and put
into a slideshow. Sarmiento
said that it was not difcult to
fnd members with these ex-
periences because so many of
them have faced discrimina-
tion from their peers.
One of the most ofensive
things to me is when people
ask me if I was born here [in
the United States], Sarmiento
said.
Sarmiento is an American
citizen, but his frst language
is Spanish. He fnds it ofen-
sive when people assume that,
because he doesnt speak the
same, he isnt American, too.
People think that my Span-
ish accent means Im not from
here or not a legal citizen, he
said.
Another student wrote about
a time when she was camping
in Allen Fieldhouse and she
overheard a girl in front of her
say, All the Mexicans here are
illegal anyway.
For Chavez, it is ofensive
when people say, Well, youre
not a real Mexican simply be-
cause she doesnt look like a
typical Mexican-American.
I choose to associate myself
with the Mexican culture,
Chavez said. People will say
something negative about
Mexicans and if I say some-
thing, they just turn and say,
Oh we werent talking about
you, just other Mexicans.
Te photos were taken last
Tursday at the HALO weekly
meeting. Te project is expect-
ed to be published via social
media within the next week.

ALVIN ROTH
Winner of the 2012 Nobel
Memorial Prize in Economics
SAN JOSE, Calif. Te
fercest rivalry in the world of
smartphones is heading back
to court this week in the heart
of the Silicon Valley, with Ap-
ple and Samsung accusing
each other, once again, of rip-
ping of designs and features.
Te trial will mark the latest
round in a long-running series
of lawsuits between the two
tech giants that underscore a
much larger concern about
what is allowed to be patented.
"Tere's a widespread sus-
picion that lots of the kinds
of sofware patents at issue
are written in ways that cover
more ground than what Apple
or any other tech frm actual-
ly invented," Notre Dame law
professor Mark McKenna said.
"Overly broad patents allow
companies to block competi-
tion."
Te latest Apple-Samsung
case will be tried less than two
years afer a federal jury found
Samsung was infringing on
Apple patents. Samsung was
ordered to pay about $900
million but is appealing and
has been allowed to contin-
ue selling products using the
technology.
Now, jury selection is sched-
uled to begin Monday in an-
other round of litigation, with
Apple Inc. accusing Samsung
of infringing on fve patents on
newer devices, including Gal-
axy smartphones and tablets.
In a counterclaim, Samsung
says Apple stole two of its ideas
to use on iPhones and iPads.
"Apple revolutionized the
market in personal comput-
ing devices," Apple attorneys
wrote in court flings. "Sam-
sung, in contrast, has system-
atically copied Apple's innova-
tive technology and products,
features and designs, and has
deluged markets with infring-
ing devices."
Samsung countered that it
has broken technological bar-
riers with its own ultra-slim,
lightweight phones.
"Samsung has been a pioneer
in the mobile device business
sector since the inception of
the mobile device industry,"
Samsung attorneys wrote.
"Apple has copied many of
Samsung's innovations in its
Apple iPhone, iPod, and iPad
products."
In the upcoming case, Apple
claims Samsung stole tech-
nology that allows someone
searching for a telephone
number or address on the web
to tap on the results to call the
number or put the address into
a map. In addition, Apple says
Samsung copied "Slide to Un-
lock," which allows users to
swipe the face of their smart-
phone to use it.
Samsung countered that Ap-
ple is stealing a wireless tech-
nology system that speeds up
sending and receiving data.
Te most attention grabbing
claim is Apple's demand that
Samsung pay a $40 royalty for
each Samsung device running
sofware allegedly conceived
by Apple, more than fve times
more than the amount sought
in the previous trial and well
above other precedents be-
tween smartphone companies.

Monday is the deadline to sign up for private health insurance in the new online markets created
by President Barack Obama's health care law. So far, about four out of every ve people enrolling
have qualied for tax credits to reduce the cost of their premiums.
Here's what you need to know:
The deadline is March 31 at midnight EDT for the states where the federal government is
running the sign-up website; states running their own exchanges set their own deadlines.
You can sign up online by going to HealthCare.gov or your state insurance exchange. If you
don't know what your state marketplace is called, HealthCare.gov will direct you.
You can call 1-800-318-2596 to sign up by phone or get help from an enrollment specialist.
Check online for sign-up centers that may be open locally, offering in-person assistance.
If you started an application by Monday but didn't nish, perhaps because of errors, missing
information or website glitches, you can take advantage of a grace period. The government says
it will accept paper applications until April 7 and take as much time as necessary to handle
unnished cases on HealthCare.gov.
Be prepared for the possibility of long wait times.

SAN ANTONIO Steven
Bowditch held on to win the
Texas Open in windy condi-
tions Sunday for his frst PGA
Tour victory and a spot in the
Masters.
Te 30-year-old Australian
bogeyed the par-5 18th for a
4-over 76 for a one-stroke vic-
tory.
"I'm over the moon. I really
can't believe it," said Bowditch,
who attempted suicide in 2006
and has fought depression
throughout his career.
It was the highest closing
score by a winner since Vijay
Singh fnished with a 4-over
76 in the 2004 PGA Champi-
onship, and the highest in a
non-major since Fred Couples
had a 5-over 77 in the 1983
Kemper Open.
Bowditch fnished at 8-under
280 at TPC San Antonio and
earned $1,116,000.
"Every time I got out of
check, looking ahead to the
Masters and winning golf
events and making my speech-
es before I was fnished, I had
to pull myself in check every
time," said Bowditch, wearing
a green shirt. "And it happened
a lot today."
Bowditch, based in Dallas,
entered the week 339th in the
world and had only two top-
10 fnishes in eight years on
the tour. He won once on the
Australasian circuit and twice
on the Web.Com Tour.
"He's been a battler. He's gone
through a lot in his life," said
John Senden, a fellow Aus-
tralian who won the Valspar
Championship two weeks ago.
Senden waited about an
hour afer his round to shake
Bowditch's hand.
"Tat last putt wasn't his
best, but to fnish it of he was
as cool as a cucumber really,"
Senden said. "I'm proud to be
his mate."
Will MacKenzie and Daniel
Summerhays tied for second.
MacKenzie shot 70, and Sum-
merhays had a 71.
Chesson Hadley and Ryan
Palmer missed chances to get
into the Masters through the
top 50 in the world ranking.
Hadley, the Puerto Rico Open
winner, needed at least a sixth-
place fnish, but closed with
an 80 to tie for 56th at 5 over.
Palmer needed a top-three fn-
ish and had an 82 to also tie for
56th.
Bowditch played the front
nine in 3-over 39, making a
double bogey on the par-4
fourth. He countered a bogey
on the par-3 13th with a bird-
ie on the par-5 14th and made
three pars before missing a
3-foot par putt and settling for
a bogey on 18.
On the par-3 16th, he got up-
and-down afer missing the
green. He pushed his drive on
the par-4 17th, hit his approach
on the green and two-putted,
then pulled his tee shot lef on
18, recovered with a shot to the
fairway and reached the green
in three.
"I just drew back on some ex-
perience," Bowditch said.
MacKenzie made a 13-foot
birdie putt on the 17th to pull
within a stroke of Bowditch,
but the Australian tapped in
from 2 feet for his birdie at No.
14 to push the advantage back
to two.
Matt Kuchar and Andrew
Loupe shot 75s to tie for fourth
at 6-under.
TUCSON, Ariz. Repeating
a scene from 13 years ago, sev-
eral hundred Arizona fans and
Tucson police clashed in the
streets late Saturday following
the University of Arizona bas-
ketball team's loss to Wiscon-
sin in the NCAA tournament.
Authorities said 15 people
were arrested afer fans hurled
beer bottles and frecrackers at
ofcers, who then used pepper
spray to disperse the crowd.
No ofcers were hurt, but three
people who were arrested had
minor injuries in the unrest
that lasted more than an hour,
police said. Meanwhile, of-
cials at the University vowed
to punish any students who
participated in the fracas.
Te clash began afer crowds
leaving bars and restaurants
near campus flled Universi-
ty Boulevard afer the game,
Tucson police Sgt. Pete Dugan
said. He said ofcers fred pep-
per spray, pepper canisters and
pepper balls to try to get peo-
ple to leave the business-lined
thoroughfare. Arizona lost 64-
63 in Anaheim, Calif.
"We've been training for this
event for several months now,"
Dugan said. "It got a little row-
dy and it got a little violent,
but no businesses sufered any
damage."
Te melee resembled what
happened in 2001, when po-
lice arrested 17 people afer
Arizona lost to Duke in the
championship game. But in
that clash, a student lost an
eye afer he was struck by a
beanbag flled with lead bird-
shot fred by Tucson police and
around 22 businesses sufered
some damage.
In a statement, Dean of Stu-
dents Kendal Washington
White called Saturday's dis-
turbance "disappointing" and
said it was not refective of the
culture of the University of Ar-
izona or Tucson.
"Our basketball team had a
great season, and they exhib-
ited exceptional class at every
turn," White said. "Tey do
not deserve the bad actions of
these others."
White said all students who
are found to have violated the
school's code of conduct "will
be held accountable."
Police brought in cruisers
and a unit of ofcers with ba-
tons, helmets and face masks
to block the street when peo-
ple started tossing beer bottles,
cans and frecrackers, hitting
police vehicles and endanger-
ing ofcers.
Most of those arrested were
cited and released, and one
person was booked into jail,
Dugan said.
A witness, David Kitaef, told
Te Associated Press that the
incident started innocently
with people taking photos, but
then "people got in cops' fac-
es." He said fans were throwing
drink cans at ofcers, whom he
saw marching down Universi-
ty Boulevard.

INDIANAPOLIS Aaron
Harrison made a 3-pointer
from NBA range with 2.3 sec-
onds lef Sunday to lif Ken-
tucky and its freshmen to a
75-72 win over Michigan and
a trip to the Final Four.
Afer Harrison's teammate,
Julius Randle, inadvertent-
ly tipped in the tying shot on
Michigan's previous posses-
sion, the eighth-seeded Wild-
cats got the ball to the 6-foot-
6 guard, whose twin brother,
Andrew, is another of the fve
freshmen in Kentucky's start-
ing lineup.
Standing a good three feet
behind the arc, Harrison ele-
vated over Caris LeVert and
took a bit of contact on the
arm from the Michigan guard
as he shot. No matter. Te shot
rattled in, and for the second
straight game in the Midwest
Regional, Harrison had the go-
ahead points in a tense game
for the Wildcats (28-10).
In this one, he scored all 12 of
his points of four 3-pointers
over the last 8:05.
"I hit a couple before that, so
coach said to get the shot we
were looking for," Harrison
said. "Tey put it in my hands
and I wanted to deliver for
them out there."
Nik Stauskas missed a half-
court heave at the buzzer for
second-seeded Michigan (28-
9), and moments later, Harri-
son was under a dog pile or
make that a puppy pile. Tis is
the frst all-freshman starting
lineup to make the Final Four
since another well-known
group, the Fab Five of Michi-
gan, did it in 1992.
"I'm gonna see everyone in
Dallas this year," coach John
Calipari said, with his version
of a Texas twang, as he ad-
dressed the crowd before the
nets came down.
Te Wildcats will play Wis-
consin next Saturday outside
of Big D.
Stauskas fnished with 24
points for the Wolverines, who
fnished a win shy of their sec-
ond straight Final Four.
Randle had 16 points and
11 rebounds for his 24th dou-
ble-double and was named
the region's most outstanding
player.
But he was just one of the
freshmen stars for the Wild-
cats Sunday.
While Harrison was being
completely shut down early, it
was unheralded Marcus Lee
keeping the Wildcats in the
game.
Lee, one of the six McDon-
ald's All-American freshmen
on Calipari's roster, had scored
a total of nine points since the
beginning of January. But he
got minutes that would have
normally gone to the injured
Willie Cauley-Stein, and fn-
ished with 10 points and eight
rebounds. Eight of those points
came on put-back dunks that
were part of Kentucky's 18 of-
fensive rebounds.
Harrison's frst 3 gave Ken-
tucky a 58-55 lead and was
part of an 11-0 run that put the
Wolverines in catch-up mode,
behind 62-55 with 6:30 lef.
Tey fought back, and during
a nine-possession stretch of
sublime basketball that cov-
ered more than four minutes,
each team scored every time
they got the ball.
Te frst stop in the sequence
gave the Wolverines the ball
with about a minute lef, trail-
ing 72-70.
Stauskas missed a layup and a
3-pointer and Derrick Walton
then missed an open 3. But the
fourth attempt went in with 31
seconds lef and got credited to
Jordan Morgan on a scramble
under the basket, though it
was Randle's hand that tipped
the ball in.
Calipari called a timeout.
Michigan burned a foul. And
the endgame started with 10
seconds lef. Te ball went to
Harrison and it was clear he
was going to take the shot. He
spotted up from about 25 feet,
and afer he hit, he walked
backward calmly before being
hugged by Randle and Dakari
Johnson.
Moments later, Kentucky was
celebrating, preparing for the
program's 16th trip to college
basketball's biggest stage.

Durant leads Thunder
to success over Jazz
OKLAHOMA CITY Kevin Durant
had 31 points and nine assists to
help the Oklahoma City Thunder
defeat the Utah Jazz 116-96 on
Sunday afternoon.
Durant scored at least 25 points
for the 38th consecutive game, the
longest streak since Michael Jor-
dan did it in 40 straight games for
the Chicago Bulls during the 1986-
87 season.
Russell Westbrook scored 19
points, Serge Ibaka had 17 points
and Caron Butler added 15 for
the Thunder, who have won six of
seven. Oklahoma City shot 55 per-
cent from the eld and made 11
of 18 3-pointers and 23 of 26 free
throws.
Enes Kanter had 18 points and 12
rebounds, Richard Jefferson scored
17 points and Gordon Hayward
added 16 points and nine rebounds
for the Jazz, who have lost four in
a row.
Utah trailed 11-0 before Jefferson
nally scored with 7:34 left in the
rst quarter. Oklahoma City led
26-9 at the end of the quarter.
It matched the fewest points the
Thunder have allowed in any quar-
ter this season and was the lowest
for the Jazz in a rst quarter this
season. Utah missed the NBA low
for an opening quarter this season
by making a basket with 19.5 sec-
onds left.
Hayward's rst basket came with
3:21 left in the rst half. Even
with his 3-point play, the Jazz still
trailed 49-30.
Oklahoma City led 59-40 at
halftime, and it might have been
a larger lead if Jefferson hadn't
dropped in 15 points in the rst
half, well above his season average
of 10.2 points per game. Durant
scored 18 points in the rst half
on 6-for-8 shooting and helped the
Thunder shoot 57 percent before
the break.
Durant was fouled on a 3-pointer
with 4:02 left in the third quar-
ter and was awarded three free
throws. He scored his 24th point on
the rst one, and the crowd start-
ed buzzing before the second one.
He also made the third to give the
Thunder an 84-56 lead.

BASEBALL TRACK AND FIELD
BASKETBALL
Protacio extends his
on-base streak to 38
A leadof mans job is sim-
ple. Get on base at all costs.
Whether its fnding a gap for
a hit, wearing a fastball at the
shoulder or working the count
to a walk, a leadof batter in
baseball understands whats
at stake when he walks up to
the plate and junior shortstop
Justin Protacio takes that job
to heart.
I am still aggressive, Prot-
acio said. If the pitch is there
I will swing, if not I will take a
walk. I am just trying to do my
job and get on base.
Dating back to last year, Prot-
acio came into the Oklahoma
series with a very phenomenal
streak. For 35 straight games,
Protacio has found a way to
get on base. Te series against
Oklahoma proved to be no
diferent for the 5-foot-6-inch
lef-handed batter.
He is one of the better col-
lege players in the country,
said coach Ritch Price. You
see that little guy who stands
5-foot-6-inches and wonder
what he is doing playing at the
division one feld, but he plays
every day at a really high level.
In game one on Friday night,
Protacio extended his on-base
streak to 36 with a leadof walk
in the bottom of the frst. On
Saturday the streak increased
to 37 with a single to the lef
before stealing second.
Ten on Sunday, Protacio
made it 38 in a row afer four
consecutive balls to draw a
walk. He was later scored in
the inning by a Michael Suiter
single to take an early 1-0 lead
in yesterdays matchup against
the Sooners.
Protacios ability to get on
base doesnt just stop afer he
extends his streak in the frst
inning. In every one of his at
bats Protacios mindset is that
he will get on base.
Afer blowing a 3-1 lead in
the top of the ninth in Sundays
contest, the Jayhawks needed
some magic in the home half
to avoid the sweep.
Following a Tommy Mirabel-
li strikeout, Protacio took the
plate with that leadof mind-
set. He worked through a full
count before taking frst on a
walk and was scored by a Da-
kota Smith walk-of double to
beat the Sooners 4-3.
Tommy struck out before
me; I knew the pitcher wasnt
throwing that hard, so I just
kept fouling them of until he
started throwing balls to get on
base, Protacio said. As long
as I get on base the guys will
score behind me.
Senior catcher Kaiana El-
dredge, who played against
Protacio in high school in Ha-
waii, enjoys having Protacio
on his team for a change.
He is a really scrappy
guy, Eldredge said. I played
against him in high school. He
was the same way, the peskiest
guy I have ever played against.
He is always getting on base.
Tats what you want from
your leadof.
No one knows when the
streak will ultimately end, if
ever. For now the Jayhawks
will take pride in having one
of the best leadof hitters in
college baseball, and enjoy
the phenomenal 38 game and
counting ride.

Junior outelder Michael Suiter battles during his at bat in the rst inning. Suiter was eventually walked.
Te Kansas track and feld
teams kicked of the 2014
outdoor season on a high
note last weekend at the 87th
Clyde Littlefeld Texas Relays
with a handful of event victo-
ries and even a school record.
Te meet took place from
Wednesday to Saturday at the
Mike A. Myers Stadium track
in Austin, Texas.
Junior Lindsay Vollmer was
among the Jayhawk athletes
to see the winners circle with
an event title in the heptath-
lon. In her frst heptathlon
since she took the NCAA title
in the event last June, Voll-
mer posted 5,640 points in
the event, which not only was
enough to give her the event
title, but it was the highest
point total posted by a hep-
tathlete in the NCAA so far
this season.
On the mens side, junior
Michael Stigler was also
able to claim an event title,
winning the Texas Relays
400-meter hurdles race for
the second-straight year. Te
two-time Big 12 champion
in the event was able to fn-
ish the race in 50.08 seconds,
which is the fastest time post-
ed in the event so far this sea-
son.
Te school record set over
the weekend was done so
by the womens 4x800 me-
ter relay team. Te quartet
of senior Diamond Dixon,
freshman Whitney Adams,
sophomore Hannah Richard-
son and sophomore Rhavean
King passed the baton around
the track in 8:50.50, besting
the previous school record
in the event that was set back
in 1980 at the Drake Relays.
Although the time was able
to capture the school record,
it was not good enough to
win this years Texas Relays as
they fnished in fourth place.
Te track and feld teams
will split up this weekend to
compete in a pair of meets.
While the distance runners
will head to Palo Alto, Calif.,
for the Stanford Invitation-
al Friday, April 4, the rest of
the team will head to Baton
Rouge, La., Saturday, April 5
to compete in the Battle on
the Bayou.

Kansas secures victories
at rst outdoor meet
UConn upsets Michigan St.
60-54, back to Final Four
NEW YORK Shabazz
Napier owed UConn.
He could have transferred
when academic sanctions
barred the Huskies from the
NCAA tournament his junior
season. But the guard wanted
to pay back the school for
the joy of a national title his
freshman year, for his strug-
gles as a sophomore.
Napier sure did that Sunday,
carrying UConn back to the
Final Four in front of thou-
sands of roaring Huskies fans
at Madison Square Garden.
He scored 17 of his 25 points
in the second half in a 60-54
upset of fourth-seeded Mich-
igan State.
Te East Regional's most
outstanding player hit three
huge free throws with 30.6
seconds lef, making clutch
shot afer clutch shot just
as Kemba Walker did when
Napier was a freshman. Te
Huskies (30-8) rallied from a
nine-point second-half def-
cit to become the frst No. 7
seed to reach the Final Four
since the tournament ex-
panded to 64 teams in 1985.
"His will to win you could
just see it," said Gary Harris,
who led Michigan State with
22 points. "He wasn't going to
let his team lose."
Te Spartans' seniors be-
come the frst four-year play-
ers recruited by Tom Izzo to
fail to make a Final Four.
"As the game got closer and
closer to ending, it was on
my mind a lot, every huddle,"
said big man Adreian Payne,
who had 13 points and nine
rebounds but was repeatedly
pushed to the perimeter by
UConn's defenders.
Te undersized Huskies
matched Michigan State's
physical play box-out for
box-out, holding the Spar-
tans (29-9) to just six ofen-
sive rebounds and six points
in the paint.
"We're physical, too," said
second-year coach Kevin
Ollie, who is now 4-0 in the
NCAA tournament afer re-
placing mentor Jim Calhoun.
"Don't get it mixed up. We are
predators out there."
UConn dared Michigan
State to shoot 3-pointers, and
the Spartans nearly made
enough, going 11 for 29 from
behind the arc. Trailing 51-49
with more than two minutes
lef, Michigan State had a
chance to tie or take the lead.
Payne threw the ball away,
and Napier drilled a jumper
on the other end.
Te Huskies won their third
national title in 2011, but
they were ineligible for last
year's tournament because
of previous low scores on the
NCAA's academic progress
measure.

Q: Last time Royals had back-to-
back winning seasons?

FACT OF THE DAY
Royals rank 19th.

Royals season begins, fans hope for chance in playoffs
QUOTE OF THE DAY
L
ast season was monumental
for the Royals, but as the 2014
season begins today, fans re-
main hopeful that this year will mark
the teams entrance into the playofs.
Tere was much contention when
Dayton Moore received a two-year
extension, prolonging the well-pub-
licized process that the Royals
underwent. Te team revamped its
farm system and spent more money
internationally and in free agency.
Moore has a chance to exhibit all
of the work hes done in the past
eight seasons hes spent at Royal Way.
Moore has felded by far his most
respected team and the AL Central is
more open than last year. Te Royals
have one of the better young pitchers
in baseball in Yordano Ventura and
enhanced its ofense more than De-
troit did in the ofseason.
While Detroit got rid of Prince
Fielder and essentially downgraded its
ofense and still is devoid of a capable
hitting shortstop afer its starter Jose
Iglesias got hurt, the Royals added
Omar Infante who is a drastic im-
provement over the atrocities of Chris
Getz and Elijah Johnson. Te Royals
community rejoiced when the second
base duo was released from the team.
Also, it added Noki Aoki who embel-
lishes the Royals top-notch defensive
outfeld and adds another speedster to
its roster. Aoki has 50 stolen bases in
the last two seasons.
With a small market team not having
superior advantage, fortitude is part of
the formula and things have to turn in
your favor. Baseball is more rampant
in that aspect than other sports. Te
Royals still have three major faws in
their lineup in Lorenzo Cain, Alcides
Escobar and Mike Moustakas. It needs
two of those guys to at least be average
hitters. You can have two holes in
your lineup, but three is a lot for a
contending team.
Te pitching is what helped make
the Royals a contender last season,
but now it remains one of the teams
biggest question marks. While James
Shields remains a quality number
one starter, the drop-of afer that
is signifcant. Jeremy Guthrie and
Bruce Chen, who are not notoriously
groundball pitchers, experienced a
lot of batted ball in play. Te defense
can only sustain that so long. While
Jason Vargas was a quality signing,
his resume is closer to one of
a number four starter. Also,
with Ervin Santana gone
it leaves a huge void that
Ventura has the ability to fll
and could make or break the
lunge into the playofs.
Ventura can gun it, topping
out at 102 mph, but veloc-
ity can sometimes get top-
sy-turvy as has been the case
with Danny Dufy in some
of his outings. Te scouts,
however, rave that his is one
of the hardest throwing hurlers out
there. Te concern is if he can handle
a full-season workload.
With Shields contract up afer this
year, the stakes reach an unfamiliar
territory for Moore and Royals fans.
Te Myers-Shields trade all was based
on these two years and made for the
purpose of entering the playofs. It
wasnt to make the Royals respectable
but to cut down on the mocking of
the young developing talent that gets
traded away for nothing. Te Royals
have become a punchline in their rock
bottom years, but now look to taste
some real baseball glory for the frst
time since 1985.
Tis year is the tipping point for
Royals
fandom.
Everyone
is invested
in this team,
gearing all
their attention
toward this
season. While
making the play-
ofs is something
unordinary for
Royals fans, not
making the playofs
would put a huge dent
in investment in the team down the
road.
Dayton Moore has faced warranted
criticism with his many questionable
moves, but he can mask all that with
one playof appearance. Afer all of the
bleakness sufered as a small market
team, this upcoming season can make
all the diference.

COMMENTARY
Pich struggles
against Oklahoma
T
he Kansas baseball
team has fgured out its
rallying cry this season.
Really, its more about survival
than anything else. No mat-
ter what happens during the
week, the Jayhawks know that
the fnal game is theirs.
Its all about Sunday, they
shout in the clubhouse.
Well, Sunday came, and with
it the opportunity to avoid the
sweep against Oklahoma. And
for eight innings it seemed
like the Jayhawks would do
just that.
At least that was until closer
Jordan Pich took the mound
the otherwise calming
presence who lately has been
anything but.
Afer Frank Duncans eight
innings and 120 pitches, there
shouldnt have been much
worry that Pich would fnish
out the game with a 3-1 lead.
He owns one of Kansas most
talented arms and has demon-
strated it over and over again.
Except he hasnt been do-
ing that lately. On Sunday the
Jayhawks were supposed to
own, yet Piche nearly gave the
game away. If Kansas is going
to sustain its early success,
getting senior-transfer Pich
back to form has got to be the
top priority.
Hes got too good of stuf to
be struggling like that, coach
Ritch Price said.
But on Sunday the struggle
didnt stop the Jayhawks. Da-
kota Smith belted a shot of the
lef feld wall for a game-win-
ning double in the bottom of
the ninth, giving Kansas a 4-3
victory.
It was the opposite of a scene
that played out half an inning
earlier where Pich gave up
three hits, one walk and two
runs the second of which
came of a throwing error by
catcher Kaiana Eldredge.
It was Pichs fourth straight
blown save and ffh this year.
At the start of the season clos-
ing out games was a bright
spot for Kansas. Now its look-
ing more like a black hole.
Weve got to get his mind-
set right to where he doesnt
feel like every pitch is thrown
with the game on the line,
Price said. I may change his
role here for a little bit to try
to take that mental pressure
of him.
But even relieving the clos-
er of his duties might not
be enough. Price said what
hes seen mechanically has
been every bit as troubling as
Pichs mindset.
His breaking ball hasnt had
as much depth and hes re-
leasing his fastball too early,
according to Price. And both
issues have made it harder for
Pich to command the ball.
I have a pretty good feeling
of my body, Pich said. I can
defnitely feel it was a little of
today.
Kansas has a month and
a half lef before the Big 12
Tournament to get Pich
throwing at the level he was
when the conference named
him Newcomer of the Week
three times earlier this year.
And if it does, Sunday wont
be the only game its all about.

S
Jayhawks end series with win against Sooners
BASEBALL
Te wind had been howling
all game. Any ball hit to right
feld was caught by the wind
and died almost immediately.
But, if you could fnd the right
spot in lef, the ball would
carry.
Tats just what junior desig-
nated hitter Dakota Smith did
in the home half of the ninth
during Sundays game.
It felt real good, Smith
said. I had kind of been
struggling all weekend. It was
a great confdence builder. I
knew I had a good piece of it,
the wind grabbed it and car-
ried it over his head.
Smith entered the ninth
inning 0-4 until he sent a
double over the lef felders
head. Smiths hit helped avoid
a sweep from the Oklahoma
Sooners and lead Kansas to
the 4-3 victory.
Senior right-handed pitch-
er Frank Duncan got the nod
for the Jayhawks. Entering the
day, Duncan had an ERA of
1.79, and improved it to 1.69
on the season.
I felt great out there today,
Duncan said. I could have
went nine, but Jordan [Pich]
was our guy last year, so were
going to ride him.
Kansas took a 3-1 lead into
the ninth inning and called on
2013 Big 12 newcomer of the
Jordan Pich.
Pich got two quick outs
before things started to fall
apart. Oklahoma strung to-
gether a few hits and scored
on a throwing error by senior
catcher Kaiana Eldredge.
Jordan and I are going to
sit down and talk this week,
coach Ritch Price said. Hes
got too good of stuf to be
blowing saves like this.
Kansas rallied in the ninth
and was able to put up a
fourth run afer leading most
of the game 3-1. Junior out-
felder Michael Suiter contin-
ued his impressive ofensive
campaign as he went 3-5 with
three singles and an RBI.
Te Jayhawks came into
Sundays game afer losing
twice to the Sooners on Friday
and Saturday.
Tese series was dominated
by pitching, Price said. Both
of our frst two games could
have gone diferent ways. We
could easily be talking about
us getting a sweep today.
Oklahoma rallied late in
the frst game of the series on
Friday as they handed Pich
another blown save and his
second loss of the season.
Its a mental thing, Price
explained. I may switch up
his role to give him a bit of a
mental rest.
Kansas bats were silenced
again on Saturday as the
Sooners pitching staf allowed
the Jayhawks to record only
fve hits.
Kansas lef a combined 19
runners on base in their frst
two losses of the series. Junior
right felder Connor McKay,
who leads the Big 12 in RBIs,
hasnt driven home a run
since March 22.
Our right handers had been
struggling this series, Price
said. It was a good day to get
guys like McKay a rest and put
some lefies in the lineup.
Junior third baseman Aaron
Hernandez carried momen-
tum from the Creighton game
into the weekend. He drove
in Kansas lone run on Friday
with an RBI double.
Te Jayhawks were unable
to do what theyve been do-
ing so well this season in the
series against Oklahoma.
Kansas had been hitting .301
with two outs and hadnt been
leaving many men on base.
Kansas scored just two runs
on Friday and Saturday.
Kansas needed to get a stop
on Sunday, and Frank Dun-
can has been able to do just
that this season.
Te way I look at it we
have three Friday night guys
on our team this year, Dun-
can said. Skip has given each
one of us great confdence for
our starts. I got the call this
year on Sunday. It helps be-
ing a senior and having a lot
of experience. Every one of us
gives you a chance to win. You
never want to get swept, we
needed to fush the last two
games from our memory, its
a new day and a new jet to fy.
Junior shortstop Justin Prot-
acio reached base safely in all
three games this series, ex-
tending his on base streak to
38 straight games. He scored
two runs in the series fnale.
People look at Protacio and
his 5-foot-6-inch frame and
wonder what hes doing on
a division one baseball dia-
mond, Price said. But hes
one of the best college base-
ball players out there.
Kansas is now 3-3 in the
Big 12 and is gearing up for a
series against Kansas State in
Manhattan this weekend.
Tis win was crucial, Price
said. Its a two game swing,
if we lose, were a game un-
der .500, and now were right
there and ready to make a
push.

Kansas sweeps series against Oklahoma State
AMIE JUST
sports@kansan.com
For the frst time in fve years,
Kansas opened up conference
play with a win. Kansas didnt
win just the frst game either.
Tey swept the series.
In the frst game of the series,
it took an extra inning and one
RBI from freshman outfelder
Katelyn Schumacher to make
the diference. Kansas (27-10,
3-0 Big 12) defeated Oklaho-
ma State (19-14, 0-3 Big 12) in
a low scoring afair on Friday
1-0. Sophomore pitcher Kelsey
Kessler tallied 13 strikeouts.
During the series, Kessler
threw 13 strikeouts in both of
her starts and fve strikeouts
in the game she came in to re-
lieve. Over the season, Kessler
has thrown 202 strikeouts. She
came into the series just two
strikeouts behind the national
leader.
In the second game of the
series, Kansas and Oklahoma
State were deadlocked at zero
until sophomore infelder
Chaley Brickey hit a home run
out of lef feld in the bottom
of the ffh inning. In the bot-
tom of the sixth inning, Kan-
sas scored three more runs,
with a RBI going to senior
infelder Ashley Newman and
two RBI going to senior out-
felder Alex Jones.
In the third game of the se-
ries, all the scoring came late
in the game. Brickey hit a sin-
gle in the ffh inning, bringing
in freshman infelder Taylor
McElhaney. Oklahoma scored
on an error by Newman. Tat
tied it all up and the game
remained scoreless until the
ninth inning when McElhan-
ey came home on a wild pitch.
Next up for the Jayhawks is a
midweek matchup against in-
state opponent Wichita State
April 2 with frst pitch sched-
uled for 6 p.m. in Wichita.
