EARLY SETTLERS OF LAWRENCE FOUGHT HARD FOR STATE’S FLAGSHIP UNIVERSITY TO BE IN THEIR TOWN “

By Sara Shepherd

They didn’t have high school educations. So really the first six years or so the university served as a prep school trying to get students ready for college.”

Twitter: @saramarieshep

t’s hard — if not impossible — to imagine Lawrence without Kansas University. But in the years leading up to KU’s founding in 1865, multiple Kansas towns clamored to be home of “The Kansas State University,” the state’s flagship university, said Mike Reid, director of the KU History Project. Plenty of bills came before the state Legislature about where to put the school, Reid said. The residents of Lawrence — including Kansas’ first governor, Charles Robinson — pushed, persisted and even helped pay for buildings to get and keep the university here.

Both Lawrence and Douglas County codes require that fences or barriers are installed at construction sites like the one at New York Elementary School where a child fell recently and was seriously injured, several officials told the JournalWorld last week. The International Building Code — which is followed by the city, county and school district — requires that 8-foot barriers be installed around the perimeter of a project if the construc- SCHOOLS tion is within 5 feet of sidewalks, which it was at New York Elementary, officials from the city, county and school district said. Usually construction projects, from beginning to end, must go through a series of inspections by the local government’s building-codes inspectors. And if the property owners or contractors violate the code, they are subject to penalties. But the district’s construction project took a different path regarding construction Please see SAFETY, page 5A

Davis still a star in eyes of state Democrats By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Paul Davis milled about the Wichita Mariott Hotel on Saturday, shaking hands and chatting with old friends at the Kansas Democratic Party’s annual DemoFest convention. But he wasn’t in the meeting room where two party strategists were describing polling numbers that suggest he could be a viable candidate for Congress next year against Republican Rep. Lynn Jenkins in the Second District. “In District 2, there is one Davis name as a Democrat that polls a win,” said Chris Reeves, of Smoky Hills Strategies and a Daily Kos blogger. “Anybody want to take a guess? In a matchup with Lynn Jenkins, Paul Davis is ahead 44-42 (percent). The next nearest Democrat on the list hits at about 26.” Told later about that statement, Davis shrugged it off with a laugh. “Not very likely,” he said of a congressional run.

Davis CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

from Lawrence, has kept a fairly low profile since his unsuccessful bid for governor in 2014. Still, his name comes up almost constantly whenever other Democrats get together and speculate about potential candidates in 2016 and beyond. Some think he should try again for governor in 2018, when Republican Gov. Sam Brownback will be term-limited out of office. But Davis said he currently has no plans to run for anything, although he wouldn’t rule out the possibility of re-entering politics at some point in the future. “I’m not saying that I wouldn’t run for office again. I might be interested in that. But I don’t plan on doing it right now,” Davis said.

the 50 percent mark. “Clearly there were a lot of voters that were motivated by that issue, but it wasn’t universal, and it isn’t universal,” he said. “And so you do have to be able to talk to voters on a variety of different issues. There are health care voters; there are economy voters; there are education voters; and there are tax voters. You’ve got to be able to talk with all of them.”

Party divisions The selection of issues, and the way the Kansas Democratic Party goes about trying to sell its agenda, has been a source of extreme tension within the party for several months. And it boiled to the surface just before the DemoFest convention, when party chairman Larry Meeker was forced to resign Friday, just as the convention was getting underway, over press statements he’d made about how the party needs to appeal more to moderate Republicans. He went so far as to say that Kansas Democrats could pass as moderate Republicans in other states, and that there are people in the party both for and against abortion rights and marriage equality for samesex couples, two key planks in the party’s platform. Down the hall from where Davis sat for the interview, Reeves and Tom Witt, executive director of Equality Kansas and chairman of the party’s Progressive Caucus, were urging fellow Democrats to be more forceful in advocating for liberal causes such as raising the state’s minimum wage, lowering the sales tax on food and reinstating the renewable energy standards on utility companies that Republicans repealed during the 2015 legislative session. “We want to own these issues,” Reeves said. “We know that Republicans know the sales tax is too high. They know it’s unpopular. Republicans took that out of the budget this year so that they can introduce it next year and say, ‘See, in an election year we lowered taxes. I’m saying beat them to the punch. Start calling for this as a social justice issue before we even get to Thanksgiving.” But Davis said the choice between pushing a Democratic agenda and reaching out to moderate Republicans “is not an either-or question.” “I think you have to be able to attract Republican voters if you want to win in Kansas. That’s a fact,” he said. “But at the same time, you also have to energize Democratic voters. You have to be able to get them out to the polls. So it’s really something that I think any Democratic candidate, and the party, has to be able to do both.”

first class valedictorian. “It was a proud moment for students, faculty, and citizens alike, for KU was no longer a university in name only,” says a KU History article on the day. “It had taken seven years to produce a crop of students who met the faculty’s requirements for a bachelor’s degree.”

Open to all, but not easy From the start, KU was open to both women and black students — unique during the period. “Most places still did not admit women or people of color at that time,” Reid said. “I think the University of Iowa and us were the only two in the Midwest. “To put it in perspective how early that was for minorities, black students weren’t admitted to (the University of) Missouri until the 1950s.” To be clear, both groups faced obstacles. Women have been enrolled at KU since its first batch of students in 1866. Though many of the first women never made it through to graduation, due to “marriage, child raising, and other commitments,” according to a KU History article on Richardson. Reid said it was more difficult for women to find housing in town, too, not to mention simply getting through the unpaved streets and roadless walk up the hill in mud or snow while wearing the cumbersome dresses of the day. Black students’ obstacles to success were far steeper, as they were in the greater society outside of the campus. “The mindset at that time still didn’t make it easy at all for them,” Reid said. Though KU was open to black students, Reid said he did not think there were any enrolled for KU’s first semester. There are a number of black students documented at KU prior to 1900, however, including three brothers from the local Harvey family who graduated between 1889 and 1894, according to a biography with the Harvey Family Papers in Spencer Research Library’s Kansas Collection. Reid said one of the biggest problems was that graduation requirements included a number of things that black students

were banned from doing. A notable example from the 1930s was that of John McLendon — who would go on to become a college coach and Basketball Hall of Famer. Completing his physical education degree required student teaching, but white schools would not let him, Reid said. The degree also required a swimming class, but at that time whenever a black student got in the pool at KU, it had to be drained afterward and refilled. Eventually, physical education instructor James Naismith helped McLendon get into student teaching at Sumner Academy in Kansas City, Kan., and helped convince then physical education director Phog Allen to open the pool to all, and McLendon did graduate.

Moving forward Through the years, KU went through its own localized versions of hardships alongside the rest of the country. Some of the worst were World War I and World War II, when barracks and training exercises were all over campus and many KU students lost their lives in combat, Reid said. The Vietnam War protests and race violence of the late 1960s and early 1970s included the shooting death of a person on the hill and the burning of the Kansas Union.

Kansas lost funds for Planned Parenthood By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Wichita â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Since Kansas won its fight to strip Planned Parenthood and another clinic of federal family planning dollars more than a year ago, promising to use those

funds at other medical facilities and offer the same services, the state has instead lost the money and many services for low-income patients have been cut. The loss of about $370,000 annually in Title X money that two

Planned Parenthood facilities in Wichita and Hays and an unaffiliated clinic in Dodge City had been receiving â&#x20AC;&#x201D; none of which paid for abortions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has meant low-income patients are finding it harder to access birth control, cancer screen-

ings and other reproductive health care services, medical providers say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have fewer places to go, and for those with limited means that may make utilizing those services even more difficult,â&#x20AC;? said Jâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Vonnah Maryman, director for

public health at the Sedgwick County Health Department. An examination by The Associated Press of Title X distributions showed that not only has the Sedgwick County Health Department not gotten any extra money to make

up for the free contraceptives and other free medical care that the Planned Parenthood clinic in Wichita can no longer afford to provide, but the state has actually cut the Title X money the health Please see FUNDS, page 4A

department had received in the past. Patients in Ellis County and Ford County, where family planning clinics closed more than a year ago, still have no Title X medical provider there to serve poor families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a number of women in Kansas who need publicly funded contraception and services, but arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receiving it,â&#x20AC;? said Elise Higgins, manager of government affairs for Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment insists it continues to ensure family planning services are available for all Kansans. A push to defund Planned Parenthood in other states has gained steam after recordings secretly made by an antiabortion group were released that raised questions of whether the organization was profiting from the sale of fetal tissue. It is legal for women whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve terminated their pregnancies to donate fetal tissue, and Planned Parenthood has said it did nothing illegal. Since the recordings surfaced, eight states â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Louisiana, New Hampshire, Ohio, Utah and Wisconsin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have introduced measures to defund the organization, said Elizabeth Nash, state issues associate at the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit group that does research on reproductive health. Between 2011 and July 2015, 11 states â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ari-

to manipulate, highlight, write and draw directly on projected objects using a special pen. Diane McGee, who teaches fourth grade at Langston Hughes, is one of the teachers whose classroom was updated with a SMART projector. McGee said the power is in the accompanying software, SMART notebook, which provides interactive lessons and learning games to use with the projector to engage students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big difference in engagement level between a worksheet versus a game, or even something that resembles a worksheet but is computerized,â&#x20AC;? McGee said, noting that most curriculum series, be they science, reading or math, now have digital components. McGee said another benefit is that the software allows teachers to design their own lessons, offering them the ability

LAWRENCE â&#x20AC;˘ STATE

zona, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; had already taken various steps to limit Planned Parenthoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funding, she said. In Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; case, the state had long contended that it could better provide reproductive health care services for lowincome patients by shifting the Title X resources to medical facilities that provide a wider range of medical services. In places like Sedgwick County where Planned Parenthood had a large clinic, the state told the court it would increase funding to the local health department, the other Title X provider in the county. Lawmakers passed legislation in 2011 directing the state health department to give the federal funds first to public health departments and hospitals, effectively leaving no money for the specialized family planning clinics. Planned Parenthood sued, and a federal appeals court panel ultimately sided with Kansas. In May 2014, Planned Parenthood announced it was closing its clinic in Hays in order to save its larger Wichita clinic. The unaffiliated family planning clinic in Dodge City also closed. When pressed to account for the Title X money more than a year later, KDHE acknowledged in an email that the federal government had reduced its funding to Kansas by the amount previously awarded to Planned Parenthood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;so there was no additional funding to give to other clinics.â&#x20AC;? The APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s examina-

tion of Title X distributions by KDHE the past three years found that the state also slashed the share of federal family planning funds that the Sedgwick County health department had previously gotten. Those figures show Sedgwick Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health department is expected to receive $167,790 in family planning funds for fiscal year 2016, compared to $276,900 in fiscal 2014. Kansas contends that low income families in places like Ellis and Ford counties can travel outside the county to get reproductive health care services elsewhere. Before losing its $330,000 in Title X funds, Planned Parenthood clinics in Wichita and Hays had provided 9,000 birth control visits, 3,000 pap tests, 3,000 breast exams, and 18,000 tests for sexually transmitted diseases. Planned Parenthood said it is seeing fewer patients now at its Wichita clinic, particularly the very low-income families who rely on Title X for birth control and medical services, such as testing for sexually transmitted diseases and cancer screenings. It had no currently available figures. Its clinics in Wichita and Hays once provided reproductive health care services to more than 5,700 people. Maryman said her county health department has not seen the increase in patients it anticipated after Planned Parenthood stopped providing free contraception in Wichita. The 3,000 patients the county sees on average each year for family planning services has remained stable, she said.

to tailor lessons to meet the needs of small groups or even individual students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this child needs to work on multiplication and another child needs to work on division, I can put together lessons where they can do that,â&#x20AC;? McGee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can do the same things with paper and pencils, but our kids are 21st century learners and are highly engaged with the technology.â&#x20AC;? The software includes learning games for various subjects, said Jerri Kemble, assistant superintendent of educational programs and technology. Kemble said she thinks having a lesson in a game form is exciting for students, and that helps them learn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When kids can earn points, get immediate feedback, work toward a goal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really powerful tool,â&#x20AC;? Kemble said. Teachers with the projectors in their classrooms have found various ways to incorporate them. Nick Martinez, a third-grade teacher at Langston Hughes, likes

to use the projector for group work. It offers students a chance to stand and move around instead of being on a computer with one person manipulating the mouse, Martinez explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice way to collaborate on something and use the technology in a more physical way,â&#x20AC;? Martinez said, noting students can use the pen to manipulate projections, with the ability to move them several feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a more tactile and collaborative experience.â&#x20AC;? Tutorials are available through a program called Atomic Learning, to help teachers learn to work with new technology and software, including SMART notebook, Kemble explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Technology is changing so quickly that no one can keep up and be on the cutting edge, but this gives them a resource so they can step out and try some new things,â&#x20AC;? Kemble said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314. usbank.com/wealth-management

it was rewarding to do something as a group and be part of the community. Super Service Saturday serves as the CCOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s welcome event of the year and is part of KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Hawk Week, which includes various events to kick off the school year. As part of Super Service Saturday, students volunteered at more than 20 local agencies, including the Lawrence Humane Society, Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence and the Lawrence Arts Center. About 600 students were expected to par-

ticipate, but 750 showed up, said Kate Phalen, a KU student and co-coordinator for CCO. Those overflow students who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be added to the existing projects helped by picking up litter around town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really exciting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there was just a flood of people,â&#x20AC;? Phalen said, noting that students came in large groups from scholarships halls, dorms and greek houses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great that they wanted to come out and help, especially given that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their first Saturday here in Lawrence,â&#x20AC;? Phalen said, noting that a majority of the students participating were freshmen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to get freshmen involved and participating in CCO.â&#x20AC;?

Nicole Rosacker, the community director for the CCO and a senior at KU, said the event benefits the student and the community by introducing students to a variety of agencies that work to sustain Lawrence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students can learn more about volunteering, how to get involved and those organizations that are available in the Lawrence community,â&#x20AC;? she said. The CCO is a studentrun organization that encourages KU students to be active volunteers as part of its goal to bridge the gap between campus and the community.

CONTRARY TO CITY CODES, no safety fencing was in place when an 8-year-old Lawrence boy was injured in an Aug. 13 fall at New York Elementary. It has since been installed.

Safety CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

codes, city, county and district officials agree. First, city of Lawrence building inspectors did not inspect the project. In an effort to save on building permit fees, the school district struck an agreement for Douglas County to inspect the numerous school construction projects throughout Lawrence. Then, through a series of contracts and agreements, the school district gave the contractor sole responsibility for construction site safety and prohibited the Douglas County inspector from overseeing the safety issues at the site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Construction site safety is the responsibility of the contractor,â&#x20AC;? said Julie Boyle, the spokeswoman for the school district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our agreement with Douglas County includes: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The County will not have control over, charge of or responsibility for ... the safety precautions and programs in connection with the work ...â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? In another response, Boyle said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The building inspector is not charged with ensuring construction site safety, that is the responsibility of the contractor.â&#x20AC;? But the agreement fails to consider that government inspectors, including Douglas County inspectors, who see a violation are required by building codes to report it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make agreements like that,â&#x20AC;? said Scott McCullough, director of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Planning and Development Department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The code dictates what needs to be inspected. The contractor or the owner doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to choose what is inspected.â&#x20AC;? In addition, according to the Douglas County code, all county employees, including inspectors, are required to report â&#x20AC;&#x153;any seeming violation in new construction.â&#x20AC;? The city exempted the district last year from following its code because the district was trying to save money on the project.

Voters approved the project â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a $92.5 million school bond issue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in April 2013 to improve facilities at all 20 schools in the district and build the new College and Career Center. In May 2014, the district initially asked the city to exempt the school construction project from fees of $280,000 for inspections and permits, City Commission meeting minutes show. The city was reluctant to waive the fees because the project was so large, according to the minutes. Such a project would entail many hours of inspections and report writing. Eventually the city allowed the district to find alternative inspectors by exempting it from city codes, McCullough said. The district then reached an agreement with Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug to have the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s codes director, Jim Sherman, conduct inspections but not for the safety portions of the project, according to Boyle. Weinaug agreed to provide the inspection services for the 20 schools at no cost to the district. Sherman was the only inspector from the county to conduct inspections at the schools for about a year, until late June, when he took a job as the city of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief building official. Sherman is no stranger to controversy. It was reported earlier this year that Sherman was inspector on a project for a rural Douglas County home being built by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach. The home was allowed to be occupied despite several irregularities, including the lack of an approved water source. The case has caused Douglas County commissioners to consider hiring a third-party consultant to review the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zoning and codes department. On Friday, Sherman, contacted at his Ottawa office, said he had no comment on the school construction project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not answering any questions about the school projects,â&#x20AC;? Sherman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to get your answers from Craig (Weinaug).â&#x20AC;?

Weinaug was out of the office last week and could not be reached for comment. The contractor on the New York Elementary project, Combes Construction LLC of Bucyrus, could not be reached for comment, and workers at the site declined to comment Friday afternoon. McCullough said contractors are expected to follow the codes, but that does not always happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There would be no need for inspectors if contractors followed the codes,â&#x20AC;? he said. Max McGill, the 8-yearold boy who was injured Aug. 13, was at the New York Elementary playground with a babysitter when he wandered off and fell. He suffered a broken nose, broken collar bone and rib. The top portion of both of his lungs collapsed. Gregory Harrod, who lives across the street from the school, has worked in the construction industry for years and has a degree in architecture. He had seen what he deemed to be problems with the site all year. Besides no fence, the construction equipment was left open to the public, he said. One weekend, he said, one of the workers was at the site and let his young child drive what appeared to be a compactor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We noticed it was hokey for a long time,â&#x20AC;? Harrod said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have been playing on the playground (in the middle of the construction site) the whole time. After the accident, it felt horrible because I never said anything.â&#x20AC;? Temporary fencing was placed around the New York Elementary construction site in the days following the accident. And Harrod said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been pushing the district to do more and to be more transparent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I drop the story ... and (others) drop the story, they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything about it,â&#x20AC;? Harrod said.

Kasold questions A major north-south route across Lawrence isn’t a good place to experiment with new street designs.

he Lawrence City Commission’s consideration of a plan to narrow Kasold Drive between Eighth and 14th streets was delayed last week because of an already lengthy agenda. That’s good because this issue deserves careful consideration by city commissioners, who are likely to hear a considerable amount of public comment on the plan when it is discussed. City engineers are recommending that this current four-lane stretch of Kasold be narrowed to two lanes — one lane in each direction — with a center turn lane. The four-way stop at Harvard Road would be replaced by a singlelane roundabout. Engineers say narrowing the street would make it more feasible to add bike lanes and pedestrian features on both sides of Kasold. Bicyclists would share the one-lane roundabout with motor vehicles. Advocates for this plan like it because they think it will provide an incentive for more people to leave their cars at home and either walk or bicycle along Kasold to reach their destinations. The idea that enough people will change their mode of transportation to have a significant impact on motor vehicle traffic in this six-block stretch is questionable if not downright fanciful. Never mind, say the engineers, it doesn’t matter if traffic doesn’t decrease. In fact they predict that traffic will increase in the next two decades but that a narrower Kasold will easily handle the load. The street currently has peak traffic of 651 vehicles per hour, which is expected to grow to 736 vehicles per hour by 2040. By some calculation, they have determined that a two-lane road can carry up to 1,900 vehicles per hour, nearly three times the current traffic load. That capacity drops to around 1,250 vehicles per hour with a single-lane roundabout. Engineers must have a firm basis for these estimates, but they also seem to border on fanciful. Even if traffic increases are minimal, why would the city consider narrowing Kasold, which is one of just a handful of major northsouth routes across Lawrence? How sure can the city be that traffic volume on this section of Kasold will grow by only about 0.5 percent per year between now and 2040? Just one factor that might affect that count is the unknown impact of the new South Lawrence Trafficway interchange on Bob Billings Parkway. If the predictions are wrong, will the city go back and restore the street to four lanes? Encouraging safe bicycle and pedestrian travel in Lawrence is a good goal, but city streets also must be designed to provide for the smooth movement of motor vehicle traffic. Lawrence traffic engineers always seem willing to embrace the “latest thing” in street design, but the proposed narrowing of Kasold could end up being a costly failed experiment for the city.

GOP talk may boost Hispanic vote Washington — It has come to this: The GOP, formerly the party of Lincoln and ostensibly the party of liberty and limited government, is being defined by clamors for a mass roundup and deportation of millions of human beings. To will an end is to will the means for the end, so the Republican clamors are also for the requisite expansion of government’s size and coercive powers. Most of Donald Trump’s normally loquacious rivals are swaggeringly eager to confront Vladimir Putin, but are too invertebrate — Lindsey Graham is an honorable exception — to voice robust

“

A substantial majority of Americans — majorities in all states — and, in some polls, a narrow majority of Republicans favor a path for illegal immigrants not just to legal status but to citizenship.” disgust with Trump and the spirit of, the police measures necessary for, and the cruelties that would accompany his policy. The policy is: “They’ve got to go.” “They,” the approximately 11.3 million illegal immigrants (down from 12.2 million in 2007), have these attributes: Eighty-eight percent have been here at least five years. Of the 62 percent who have been here at least 10 years, about 45 percent own their own homes. About half have children who were born here and hence are citizens. Dara Lind of Vox reports that at least 4.5 million children who are citizens have at least one parent who is an illegal immigrant.

Trump evidently plans to deport almost 10 percent of California’s workers, and 13 percent of that state’s K-12 students. He is, however, at his most Republican when he honors family values: He proposes to deport intact families, including children who are citizens. “We have to keep the families together,” he says, “but they have to go.” Trump would deport everyone, then “have an expedited way of getting them (“the good ones”; “when somebody is terrific”) back.” Big Brother government will identify the “good” and “terrific” from among the wretched refuse of other teeming shores. Trump proposes seizing money that illegal immigrants from Mexico try to send home. This might involve sacrificing mail privacy, but desperate times require desperate measures. He would vastly enlarge the federal government’s enforcement apparatus, but he who praises single-payer health care systems and favors vast eminent domain powers has never made a fetish of small government. Today’s big government finds running Amtrak too large a challenge, and Trump’s roundup would be about 94 times larger than the wartime internment of

117,000 people of Japanese descent. But Trump wants America to think big. The big costs, in decades and dollars (hundreds of billions), of Trump’s project could be reduced if, say, the targets were required to sew yellow patches on their clothing to advertise their coming expulsion. There is precedent. Birthright citizenship, established by the 14th Amendment and opposed by Trump and his emulators, accords with America’s natural-rights doctrine. Arguably, this policy is unwise. But is this an argument Republicans should foment in the toxic atmosphere Trump has created, an argument that would injure the next Republican nominee even more than Mitt Romney injured himself? Romney, who advocated making illegal immigrants’ lives so unpleasant they would “selfdeport,” might be president if he had received 10 points more than his 27 percent of the Hispanic vote. About 900,000 Hispanic citizens reach voting age each year. In 2012, less than half of eligible Hispanics voted, but Republicans have figured out how to increase Hispanic turnout. A substantial majority of Americans — majorities in all states — and, in some

Black lives demand focus “All lives matter.” Those words have risen as a kind of counter to “Black lives matter,” the movement that coalesced in response to recent killings and woundings of unarmed African-Americans by assailants — usually police officers — who often go unpunished. Mike Huckabee raised that counter-cry last week, telling CNN, “When I hear people scream ‘black lives matter,’ I’m thinking, of course they do. But all lives matter. It’s not that any life matters more than another.” As if that were not bad enough, the former Arkansas governor and would-be president upped the ante by adding that Martin Luther King would be “appalled by the notion that we’re elevating some lives above others.” “Elevating some lives.” Lord, have mercy. Imagine for a moment that you broke your left wrist. In excruciating pain, you rush to the emergency room for treatment only to run into a doctor who insists on examining not just your mangled left wrist, but your uninjured right wrist, rib cage, femur, fibula, sacrum, humerus, phalanges, the whole bag of bones that is you. You say, “Doc, it’s just my left wrist that hurts.” And she says, “Hey, all bones matter.” If you understand why that remark would be factual, yet also fatuous, silly, patronizing and off point, then you should understand why “all lives matter” is the same. It’s not about “elevating some lives” any more than it would be about elevating some bones. Rather, it’s about treating where it hurts.

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

… while police abuse is not unknown in other lives, it is disproportionate in black lives. This is what Huckabee and the ‘all lives matter’ crowd quail at recognizing.”

And as for Dr. King: I cringe at his name being invoked by yet another conservative who has apparently never heard or read anything King said with the possible exception of the last few minutes of the “I Have A Dream” speech. No one with the slightest comprehension of what King fought for could seriously contend he would be “appalled” at a campaign geared to the suffering of African-American people. Whose rights did the Montgomery Bus Boycott seek to vindicate? For whose freedom was King jailed in Birmingham, punched in Selma and stoned in Chicago? In his book “Why We Can’t Wait,” King answered complaints that we shouldn’t be doing something special for “the Negro” by noting that, “our society has been doing something special against the Negro for hundreds of years.”

Does that sound like someone who’d be “appalled” by “Black lives matter”? No, that cry would likely resonate for him for the same reason it resonates for so many others. Namely because, while police abuse is not unknown in other lives, it is disproportionate in black lives. This is what Huckabee and the “all lives matter” crowd quail at recognizing. To treat where it hurts, one must first acknowledge that it still hurts, something conservatives often find hard to do because it gives the lie to their self-congratulatory balloon juice about how this country has overcome its founding sin. That sort of willful ignorance has unfortunately become ubiquitous. Which is why, for me, at least, the most inspiring sight to come out of Charleston following the racial massacre there was not the lowering of the Confederate battle flag, welcome as that was. Rather, it was a march through town by a mostly white crowd chanting, “Black lives matter! Black lives matter!” To see those white sisters and brothers adopt that cry was a soul-filling reminder that at least some of us still realize we all have access — connection — to each other’s pain and joy by simple virtue of the fact that we all are human. God love them, they did not slink guiltily from that connection. Instead, they ran bravely to it. And you know what, Mike Huckabee? Martin Luther King would have been pleased. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

polls, a narrow majority of Republicans favor a path for illegal immigrants not just to legal status but to citizenship. Less than 20 percent of Americans favor comprehensive deportation. This may, however, be changing now that so many supposed Republicans embrace a candidate who, six years into Ronald Reagan’s presidency, disparaged Ronald Reagan as someone who tried to “con” the public. If, after November 2016, there are autopsies of Republican presidential hopes, political coroners will stress the immigration-related rhetoric of August 2015. And of October 1884. Then, the Republican presidential nominee, former Sen. James G. Blaine, returning home to Maine in the campaign’s closing days, attended a New York rally on his behalf, where a prominent Protestant clergyman said Democrats were a party of “rum, Romanism and rebellion.” Catholics, many of them immigrants, noticed. Blaine lost New York, and with it the presidency, by 1,200 votes out of more than one million cast. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 23, 1915: years “About four or ago five hundred IN 1915 Lawrence people went to Leavenworth on the special train which left here at 8 o’clock yesterday morning to visit the encampment of the Kansas National Guard at the fort and to see Companies H and M in action. Dozens of others went in automobiles and the officers at the camp arranged some special features for the visitors, including a dress parade … In the National Guard military field meet at the encampment, Company M of the University was an easy winner taking first place among the twenty-five companies entered in the different events.... Seventy-five to one hundred cars went from Lawrence to Leavenworth to see the K.N.G. in camp, but not all of them returned. The band concert, which was late in the evening, was one of the features of the encampment that many people stayed for and they were caught in the rain coming back. Some of them drove to Kansas City and spent the night there while others arrived in Tonganoxie and left their cars in the garage there and came into Lawrence on the train. Many, however, were caught between Tonganoxie and Lawrence and rows of stalled cars blocked the roads.... ‘The cars would skid and turn clear around in the mud,’ said [Mr.] Hayter this morning, ‘and it was funny to see them lined up trying to help one another out.’” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

This fall, keep your furry friends bug free

all is right around the corner, and while the weather is cooling down, the bugs are still around — even if you can’t see them. The wet summer we’ve had has caused an explosion in the activity of pesky parasites such as fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. Not only do these tiny terrors make life miserable for those of us with two (or four) legs, but they can also be responsible for the transmission of some nasty diseases among people and pets.

Fleas Fleas are everywhere, and while they don’t transmit diseases, the discomfort they cause can be unbearable to pets. Have you ever noticed your pet stop what he’s doing and then start frantically chewing his rump? He may have fleas, even if you’ve never seen one in his coat. Fleas are sneaky little bugs that hide in hair coats and can sometimes go undetected for long periods of time. In fact, many animals are allergic to fleas and may have hair loss and scaling or crusting of the skin, especially in their backsides, as a result of those allergies. To check your pet for fleas, purchase a flea comb from any pet store and gently brush your pet to check for live fleas and the debris they leave behind. Fortunately, flea control is easy and can be purchased through your local veterinary hospital. Note: It is important to avoid flea treatments that contain pyrethrins as they do not work and can be very toxic, especially to cats. Additionally, flea collars generally do not work well and can also be toxic to pets. Ticks Like fleas, ticks can

Critter Buzz

Jennifer Stone also go unnoticed for long periods of time, and can burrow into small crevices on your pet’s body, where they’ll hide and feed. Some of their favorite hideouts are between skin folds, inside the ears, and in between the toes. Unlike fleas, ticks can transmit a wide range of diseases that can make both you and your pet very sick, including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia, ehrlichiosis, and babesiosis. Many tick-borne diseases are contagious to people and animals, and some can even be fatal if left untreated. Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, cdc. gov, to learn more about tick-borne disease.

Mosquitoes Ticks aren’t the only bugs that carry diseases; mosquitoes are also responsible for transmitting infectious diseases (like West Nile virus) to people and animals. Fortunately, new and improved dog products are on the market that repel mosquitoes, in addition to fleas and ticks, and will protect your furry family member from mosquitoborne illnesses like heartworm. Working with your veterinarian to develop a prevention plan for your pet will prevent it from the discomfort these small (but mighty) parasites can inflict, and will also ensure

Today, the bustling market and eatery stands as a gleaming example of the city’s renaissance from the destruction of Hurricane Katrina 10 years ago this month — or a misguided attempt at rebuilding that misses the city’s historical charm, depending on whom you ask. “It’s beautiful,” said Jeanne LeBlanc, 33, enjoying a chicken sauce piquante within the market’s white-washed interior. “I’m glad they finally did something with this building.” “I hate it,” said Samala Moore, 44, a neighbor who remembers going to the market as a young girl when it was a produce mart, not a gourmet eatery. “This has nothing to do with our history.

Extreme weather likely to cause extreme food shortages Task force predicts 30-year hunger cycle Thomas M. Kostigen Special for USA TODAY

Food shortages and price hikes caused by extreme weather will be three times more likely over the coming decades, according to a new report. The U.K.-U.S. Taskforce on Extreme Weather and Global Food System Resilience found that unless better planning, modeling and trade arrangements are put in place, massive disruptions to

our food supply — the kind that usually only occur once a century — will happen every 30 years. Extreme weather in areas that produce our most important crops is largely the cause. A massive drought is already underway in California — the world’s richest food-producing region — causing a loss of 30% of its cropland at a value of nearly $2 billion. The U.S. isn’t alone in feeling the impact of extreme weather. Venezuela is undergoing beer shortages because of a heat wave. Violence has even struck food lines there. Countries that are heavy grain importers will be the most vul-

nerable to severe food impacts, the task force reported. Egypt has begun taking steps to thwart shocks to its food supply by boosting wheat production. Food protests and riots broke out there in 2008 when food prices spiked. China is also taking preventative steps. Among other strategies to shore up supplies, it is securing agricultural production capacity in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere in the developing world. The U.S. and European Union will likely be sheltered from widespread impacts because of strong economies and the ability to outbid other countries for food supplies, the report found. Still, it

says global cooperation needs to happen to prevent large food shocks. That means policy and trade agreements that take into account sharing water resources and banning restrictions on certain staple crops. Resiliency efforts are key to battling weather extremes and crop production. India, for one, is highly dependent on monsoon patterns for rain. Linked to those patterns is its agricultural system. A dramatic shift in weather could throw off productivity. Kostigen is the founder of TheClimateSurvivalist.com and a New York Times best-selling author and journalist

Jared Foundation had big goals, made no grants v CONTINUED FROM 1B

ond wife, with whom Fogle has two preschool-age children, has started divorce proceedings. His sartorial signature is no longer a pair of size-60 blue jeans but a GPS monitor that tracks his movements outside the house. “I don’t think he’s going anywhere,” federal prosecutor Steven DeBrota said in announcing a plea deal Wednesday that will result in a prison sentence of five to 12½ years. The disclosure that Fogle patronized adult sex workers, viewed child pornography and had sex with minors has shattered a multimillion-dollar image built on his everyman sincerity and ongoing struggle with weight. “This was a long pattern, an ongoing pattern,” Chuck Cohen of the Indiana State Police said in an interview. A federal charging document states that Fogle first obtained child porn in March 2011 from a friend, who delivered the images via text messages and a thumb drive. At the time, Fogle’s second wife was pregnant with their first child. Their son was born in September 2011. Some of the child-

porn images showed children as young as 6 in sex acts. The Fogles’ second child, a daughter, was born in 2013 — the same year Jared Fogle had sex with a 17-year-old girl, according to charging papers. “He’s really just a sick man. He has no remorse. He has no guilt,” said Rochelle Herman-Walrond, who says she befriended Fogle in 2007 during his visits to Sarasota, Fla., where she interviewed him for her radio show, “Health Beat of America.” Fogle entered the sexual underworld in 2007, somewhat benignly, by scrolling through websites that advertise escorts and erotic services, and arranging paid sexual encounters with adults, the federal document states. At the time, Fogle was in the midst of a divorce from his first wife, Elizabeth A. Fogle, who filed divorce papers in March 2006 and moved out of their threebedroom house in an Indianapolis suburb. The couple had married in October 2001. In September 2005, the Fogles and a third person named Trent Cate formed a business that sold items on eBay for people who lacked the time or know-how to

do it themselves. Elizabeth Fogle talked to a journalist about the business in September 2006, at the same time her attorney was arranging mediation sessions. Fogle’s descent appears to have deepened after the Jared Foundation in 2009 hired an executive director named Russell Taylor, 43, a friend of Fogle’s with an apparent penchant for bestiality and child porn, according to court papers. The two had met while Taylor was a youth-market director for the American Heart Association based in Indianapolis.

friend of Taylor and his wife, and had saved text messages in which Taylor discussed child pornography and having sex with a horse, court papers said. Authorities say Taylor started sharing pornographic images and videos of children with Fogle in March 2011, and also gave Fogle child porn produced outside the U.S. The evidence gathered from Taylor led authorities to Fogle. Around the same time, Fogle began to explore sex with minors, taking advantage of his frequent trips away from home and high-

Taylor told authorities he used the cameras to guard against theft. Indiana State Police were tipped off by a woman who was a

class accommodations. In early November 2012, Subway put Fogle up at New York City’s Plaza Hotel, with its $2,000-a-night suites and sweeping views of Central Park, to promote Team Subway at the New York City Marathon. At a media event two days before the marathon, Fogle stood arm-in-arm onstage with the two sisters and the

mother of Olympics superstar Michael Phelps, a fellow Subway pitchman. The next day, Fogle shifted his attention, paying a 17-year-old girl to have sex with him at the Plaza, according to the federal charging documents. The day after that — marathon Sunday — Fogle sent the girl text messages offering her a finder’s fee if she could arrange a sexual encounter with another underage girl. Fogle said he would accept a 16-year-old, but said the younger the girl, the better. When Fogle returned to New York in early January, he stayed at the Ritz-Carlton, near the site of the former World Trade Center. Fogle has posted somber photographs of himself standing by Ground Zero honoring those who died on Sept. 11. But on this visit, Fogle had sex with another 17-year-old girl. On July 7, authorities raided Fogle’s house, loading documents, electronics and other items into an evidence truck parked in the driveway. Contributing: Mark Alesia of The Indianapolis Star.

protection system. New Orleans is also whiter, with 97,000 fewer African Americans living in the city than before Katrina, according to The Data Center. An influx of Millennials — educated professionals — kept the city flush with new ideas and energy, but their arrival also drove up rents and made it harder for returning locals to find affordable housing. “Instead of levees, now the discourse is about cultural change and gentrification,” said Richard Campanella, a Tulane University geographer who has studied the city’s shifting social patterns. With the influx of young professionals “came a lot of good things, but also rising rents, rising gentrification.” The storm and the ensuing floods radically altered the lives of tens of thousands of people along the Gulf Coast. In New Orleans, steeped in tradition, those changes left a lasting impact. Whether they’re ultimately good or bad depends on whom you ask. THE MUSICIAN

Singer and bandleader John Boutte was performing at a show in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in August 2005, when he saw the first television images of what was happening to his hometown. Before Katrina, Boutte lived in an apartment in the French Quarter and met regularly with family members in the 7th Ward. Katrina changed all that, scattering friends and family members all over the state and country, he said. Many never moved back. “It broke up our tribe,” Boutte, 56, said. “New Orleans is a city of families, and the families are really trying to return. But they’re all spread out. We don’t see each other as much as we used to.” Boutte returned a few weeks after Katrina and tried to piece his life back together. But his band had scattered all over the United States, he said. He played a few gigs with one band member who had stayed and slowly rebuilt the group as members trickled back into the city. He got a boost when producer David Simon used Boutte’s song, Tremé Song, as the opening theme to his New Orleans-based HBO series, Treme, and cast him in a few episodes as himself. Rising rents continue to make it hard for the city’s “tradition bearers” — musicians, Mardi Gras Indians, social club members and others who pass on its culture — to stay in the city, Boutte said. Today, New Orleans is quintessentially the same city, but for how long remains a looming question, he said. A few years ago, Boutte himself moved to Lacombe, La., on the northern shore of Lake Pontchartrain, nearly 50 miles north of the French Quarter. “Everything changes, inevitably,” he said. “I just never imagined in my lifetime this city would see such a drastic change.” THE TEACHER

José Fernandes rode out Katrina’s fury in his second-story apartment on Esplanade Avenue, near the French Quarter. When the winds died down, he wandered through the city, photographing flooded streets and wandering residents. He evacuated a few days later to his home country of Portugal. A resident of New Orleans since 1988, Fernandes knew he’d come back. He just didn’t know when. He returned for a quick visit six months after the floods, during the city’s first post-Katrina Mardi Gras. He was stunned by the destruction: block after block of mud-caked rubble. While photographing in the Lower 9th Ward, Fernandes snapped a picture of a man dressed in a white bunny suit riding a bicycle past the splintered destruction of former homes. It would become one of the disaster’s iconic images. “It was a premonition of what was to happen to New Orleans: among the destruction, there was this hope,” Fernandes, 56, said. “The city was not dead. There was a spirit moving people back.”

NATION ON POLITICS Cooper Allen @coopallen USA TODAY

Jeb Bush and Donald Trump held rival town halls in New Hampshire. And the former Florida governor received some fundraising help from former president George W. Bush, who wrote to potential GOP donors that his brother “will be a tremendous president” but has “a tough road ahead.” More news from the world of politics:

Is Biden a wild card for Clinton?

POTENTIAL BIDEN BID POLLS WELL IN SWING STATES Vice President Biden hasn’t decided whether he’ll seek the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, but a new Quinnipiac Swing State Poll offered him encouraging news. Biden fares better than Hillary Clinton, the current front-runner, in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania in a hypothetical election matchup against Trump, though the vice president and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders still trail Clinton by a significant margin in the Democratic race overall. Donald Trump still leads the GOP race, but the Quinnipiac poll underscored the long-term challenge to his bid, as his favorability ratings continue to lag behind those of his rivals.

He was 46 when elected president.

BILL CLINTON WOULD BE OLDEST PRESIDENTIAL SPOUSE The 42nd president celebrated his 69th birthday on Wednesday. If Hillary Clinton is successful in her White House bid, Bill Clinton would be 70 when she is sworn in in January 2017. That would be several years older than Anna Harrison, who was 65 when husband William Henry Harrison took the oath of office on March 4, 1841. Her time as first lady was brief, though, as her husband died a month later from pneumonia. Barbara Bush was 63 after becoming first lady in January 1989 but was 67 by the time her husband, George H.W. Bush, left the White House. JEB BUSH CONTINUES ANTI-TRUMP CAMPAIGN Trump was on the attack against the former Florida governor at his New Hampshire town hall, but Bush wasn’t holding back either to reporters afterward. “I’m a proven conservative with a record,” Bush said of Trump. “He GETTY IMAGES isn’t.” He also Jeb Bush listed the policy positions Trump has changed his mind on, such as his past support for abortion rights. Trump has said his views have evolved. “He’s been a Democrat longer than a Republican,” Bush said. FEINGOLD LEAD IN WIS. SENATE RACE NARROWS The rematch between Democrat Russ Feingold and GOP incumbent Ron Johnson in Wisconsin will be among the top Senate races in 2016, and a Marquette University Law School poll out Thursday showed the race had tightened in recent months.

FACT CHECK BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP

Trump released his plan in midAugust, calling for a wall to be built across the southern U.S. border (paid for by Mexico) and other measures to step up enforcement and limit immigration, both illegal and legal. Among the proposals: He says he wants to “end birthright citizenship,” saying it “remains the biggest magnet for illegal immigration.” That’s contradicted by research that shows jobs and economic opportunity are the biggest draws for those coming to the U.S. illegally. Marc Rosenblum, deputy director of the U.S. Immigration Policy Program at the Migration Policy Institute, an independent think tank, told us that research has consistently found that economic factors are the big determinants of illegal immigration. “If you read a few hundred academic articles, I don’t think you’ll find one that identifies the desire to have children in the U.S. … as a significant factor in people’s thinking,” he said. Birthright citizenship refers to the fact that a child born on U.S. soil is a U.S. citizen under the Constitution, even if both of the parents are not in the country legally. The parents still aren’t citizens and can’t be sponsored for a green card by their child until that child is 21. Latino immigrants — both legal and illegal — didn’t cite that as a reason for coming to the U.S. when the Pew Research Center polled them in 2011. Instead, 55% said “economic opportunities” brought them to the United States. There is ample evidence that the health of the U.S. economy, and therefore the availability of jobs, is what primarily drives immigration. The number of immigrants with illegal status has remained around 11.3 million for the past five years, according to the Pew Research Center’s Hispanic Trends project, a period of slow economic recovery. The center, a self-described “fact tank” that provides research and public opinion polling, notes that this population “dropped sharply during the Great Recession of 200709, mainly because of a decrease in immigration from Mexico.” IMMIGRATION COSTS

Trump’s plan says the cost for the U.S. of illegal immigration from Mexico has been “extraordinary.” Taxpayers “have been asked to pick up hundreds of billions in health care costs, housing costs, education costs, welfare costs, etc.” But non-partisan studies have estimated a modest impact of illegal immigration on state and local budgets, and a net positive impact on the federal budget. A 2007 report by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office concluded that the net impact on state and local budgets was “most likely modest.” A 1997 report by the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences found that most immigrants — both legal and illegal — would have a net positive effect on government budgets over the immigrants’ lifetimes, but some

TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION PLAN Lori Robertson and Eugene Kiely l FactCheck.org

Republican Donald Trump’s immigration plan includes several statements that stray from the facts. u He said “birthright citizenship” is the “biggest magnet for illegal immigration.” Actually, research

indicates the biggest draw is economic opportunity.

u He claimed taxpayers have paid “hundreds of billions” in health care, education, welfare and

more for illegal immigration from Mexico. But the Congressional Budget Office found the net financial impact of illegal immigration on state and local budgets was “most likely modest.”

u Trump says the “incarcerated alien population”

was responsible for “3 million arrests.” The 2011 report he cites says there were 1.7 million arrests, including some that didn’t result in convictions or even prosecutions.

u He said border crossing cards and NAFTA visas are “major” sources of visa overstays, but we

could find no data to support this. The most recent estimate showed border crossing cards made up 4% to 12% of those who violated the terms of a legal entry. And very few NAFTA visas are issued in comparison with other visas. states, such as California, would face a net cost over the long term. Rosenblum, at the Migration Policy Institute, told us that there’s likely a net benefit at the federal level, because immigrants here illegally would pay more in federal taxes than they would receive in federal benefits. The chief actuary of the Social Security Administration estimated that those in the country illegally contributed a net $12 billion to Social Security’s cash flow for 2010. But there’s likely a net state and local cost, Rosenblum says, because, as CBO explained, immigrants living in the country illegally consume more in services than they pay in state and local taxes. The 1997 National Research Council study found exactly that. The study determined that on an annual basis, the net fiscal national cost imposed by all immigrant-headed households on native households was $14.77 billion (based on New Jersey’s budget) to $20.16 billion (based on California’s). Those figures, of course, are based on all of the foreign-born, whether citizens, legal residents or immigrants in the country illegally. IMMIGRANTS AND CRIME

The Trump immigration plan also falsely claims that a government report in 2011 found the “incarcerated alien population” was responsible for “3 million arrests.” The number is actually 1.7 million, and it includes some arrests that did not result in convictions. The “3 million arrests” figure

cited in Trump’s plan links to a conservative blog post about a 2011 GAO report on “criminal aliens,” who are defined as “noncitizens convicted of crimes while in this country legally or illegally.” So, the report isn’t just about people living in the U.S. illegally. The GAO analyzed a random sample of 1,000 criminal immigrants and their arrest records from August 1955 to April 2010.

and illegally, are more likely to commit crimes than U.S. citizens. But the report does not say that. Bianca Bersani, director of the Criminal Justice Program at the University of Massachusetts, did make such a comparison in a 2012 research paper published in Justice Quarterly and concluded that “immigrants, regardless of generational status, pose no greater criminal threat than the general native-born population.” VISA OVERSTAYS

Trump said that until Mexico paid for a wall across the southern border, he would, among other measures, increase fees on border crossing cards issued to Mexicans and NAFTA worker visas from Mexico, both of which he called a “major source of visa overstays.” But we could find no evidence that these were major sources of overstays. Robert Warren, a senior visiting fellow with the Center for Migration Studies and former director of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service’s statistics division, told us he doesn’t have any data on overstays due to border crossing cards or NAFTA visas. “I’m pretty certain of one thing, though,” he wrote in an email, “nobody else has any data on this, including DHS, Donald Trump, or his staff.” A 2014 Congressional Research Service report said that “reliable estimates of the number of nonimmigrant overstays are not available.” However, the scant research that does exist suggests border crossing cards have not been a major source of visa overstays in the past. With NAFTA work visas, so few are issued each year in comparison with other visas, it’s doubtful they would be a major source of overstays.

Latino immigrants didn’t cite birthright citizenship as a reason for coming to the U.S. in a 2011 Pew Research Center poll. The 3 million figure is actually 2.9 million, and it refers to the number of “arrest offenses” — estimated offenses alleged to have been committed by the study population of 249,000 criminal immigrants. About a third of those alleged offenses were immigration offenses (529,859) and traffic violations (404,788). As for the “tens of thousands” of “violent beatings, rapes and murders” cited by the Trump campaign, the GAO report says the estimated number of assaults (213,047), sex offenses (69,929) and homicides (25,064) accounted for 10% of the alleged 2.9 million offenses. The margin of error is +/-2 percentage points, so the number of estimated rape and murder offenses is within the margin of error. Trump’s plan implies that immigrants, living here both legally

The best, and most recent, estimate on overstays appears to be a 2006 Pew Research Center fact sheet. It said: “As much as 45% of the total unauthorized migrant population entered the country with visas that allowed them to visit or reside in the U.S. for a limited amount of time.” Pew put the number of visa overstays, mostly for tourist or business visas, at 4 million to 5.5 million for 2005. It said that those violating the terms of border crossing cards was another 250,000 to 500,000 people. All told, that would make violators of border crossing cards 4% to 12% of all those who entered legally but now reside illegally in the U.S. At the time, Pew estimated the total unauthorized population at 11.5 million to 12 million.

Barriers for single parents in China

Some rail against high fines, fight for fertility rights Hannah Gardner

Special for USA TODAY

More than 30 years after China imposed its controversial “one-child” policy, unmarried women here who want a child face fines and discrimination. Although single or unmarried parents have never been common in China, the “one-child” law requires would-be parents to be married to have a baby or receive fertility treatment. Without a wedding certificate, family planning bureaus in China won’t grant a woman permission to get pregnant. “It is wrong to connect fertility rights to marriage,” said Brent Shen, an unmarried father from Beijing who was fined $7,000 when he tried to register his newborn daughter. “The law should be more tolerant of people who make alternative life choices,” he said. China’s “one-child” policy turns 35 in September. The restrictions were introduced in 1980 to limit the number of children Chinese couples can have in an attempt to reduce the burden on resources amid the country’s rapidly expanding population. But three decades of economic growth has ushered in greater personal freedoms for young Chinese who no longer feel compelled to make traditional choices or accept high levels of state involvement in their private lives. The issue was highlighted recently after China’s health ministry weighed in on the case of an unmarried actor who traveled to the United States to have her eggs frozen. “Assisted fertility techniques are not available to single women,” the health ministry said in response to the case. “Some hosBEIJING

pitals may allow single women to freeze their eggs, but when they come to use them they must provide ... a marriage certificate and official permission to give birth.” The intervention from Chinese authorities caused outrage. Many took to the Internet to question why a woman can’t exercise her own reproductive rights as she wishes. “This is just another way to force us into marriage,” wrote a Weibo user who goes by Grace_7383. Weibo is similar to Twitter, which is banned in mainland China. “I can’t bear this misogyny,” wrote the popular blogger Han Han. “Women aren’t men’s babymaking machines or portable uteruses,” he added.

burden to society. I don’t want her to be labeled in that way,” she said. Still, the vast majority of people affected by the law are young females who become pregnant by accident. If the father doesn’t acknowledge the child, the woman must deal with the stigma, and the financial costs, alone. The level of the fines varies from case to case and are set by individual cities. And if the mother can’t pay the fine, the child won’t be able to register in China, which means the child won’t have access to the public health system, be able to go to school or get a passport. Chinese authorities don’t appear to be in any rush to change the law.

“Women aren’t men’s baby-making machines or portable uteruses.” Blogger Han Han

Yet opponents of the restrictions say most children born to single or unmarried parents in China don’t really add to society’s burden. Most women or couples who have babies without getting married choose to have only one child. And last year, the government relaxed its family planning policy to allow more families to have two children. Data on Chinese children born to single or unmarried parents are not readily available. In the U.S., unmarried women account for about 40% of all births, according to the Department of Health. Ma Yu, from Xi’an in central China, was deserted by her fiancé when she was six months pregnant. She called the law deeply unfair. “My daughter didn’t add any

“In our situation, the normal route in China would have been to have an abortion,” said Shell Wu, 32, who is from Beijing but was educated in the U.S. In June, when her daughter was born, she and her ex-boyfriend turned to the popular Chinese crowd-funding website Dreamore to raise money for an unaffordable $7,000 fine. Within 12 hours, they raised about a quarter of what they needed. Then authorities got wind of it and ordered them to shut down the appeal. Today, the pair are trying to raise money for the fine through social media. “We could have avoided the fine by getting married, having the baby and getting divorced. But I didn’t want to do it that way. It didn’t seem right,” Shell said.

non-militant members who share a conviction that only once the land of Israel — including the West Bank — gets rid of non-Jewish elements will the nation be able to usher in an era of a “true Jewish state,” according to rightwing activists’ blogs. Unlike previous generations, the more extreme members of the group don’t look to local leaders for guidance in carrying out attacks. Instead, they respect only extremist interpretations of religious texts and act on their own accord, Fischer said. Itamar Ben-Gvir, a lawyer who represents price tag and other ultra-nationalist activists in court, says that while they face persecution by a state that fails to recognize its lofty goals, they are fighting back. “The government is trying to hurt us, but when you have faith, it’s a different story, nothing deters you.”

WEST BANK Elhanan Shmidov views this illegal Jewish outpost, within earshot of the drumming ceremonies of nearby Palestinian villages, as the epitome of “self-sacrifice,” where “good Jews” like him carry out the holy mission of populating this contested land. Shmidov, like many of his neighbors, said residents must defend their place in communities like his throughout “Judea and Samaria,” the biblical name referring to land that was once the domain of the ancient Jewish kingdom. He takes no responsibility for the Jewish extremists — whom he calls “wild weeds” within the pro-settler community — who carry out violence against Palestinians. Increasingly radical Jewish militants who target Palestinians are the latest front in Israel’s struggle against terrorism. Israeli security authorities estimate hundreds belong to extremist groups, but only about 100 have been involved in violent attacks. A July 31 arson attack suspected to be the act of Jewish extremists in the Palestinian village of Duma left a toddler and his father dead and sparked nationwide soul-searching. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the act of “Jewish terrorism” and launched a crackdown that included the arrest of a number of high-profile, ultra-nationalist activists. Many of the extremists are associated with what’s known as the “price tag” movement, which vows to exact a price by attacking Palestinian properties or people whenever Israel attempts to curb Jewish settlements in the West Bank. The origins for the movement date back 10 years, when large-scale Israeli evacuations of settlements from Gaza were perceived as a violation of both Jewish law and the people’s prospects for redemption. Palestinians and the Israeli settlers have disputed the ownership of the West Bank for four decades. Some settlers, so avid in their claims to the land, defy the Israeli government by living in contested zones. Leaders among the settlers dismiss claims of terrorism by Jewish extremists as unsubstantiated or overblown by what they call the “leftist” Israeli press. They fume about the government’s failure to keep them safe from Palestinian attacks. “In Jerusalem, in Tel Aviv, in all of Israel’s cities, there are tons of Arabs, walking around normally. … We’re the ones who are afraid!” Shmidov said. The settlement groups organize themselves through underground networks and are often made up of members who are social outcasts or recent immigrants, said Shlomo Fischer, an expert on Jewish extremism. They include both militant and

One of the right-wing activists, Meir Ettinger, the grandson of the famed ultra-nationalist Rabbi Meir Kahane, was recently arrested and placed under administrative detention — a controversial policy that denies the right to a trial or knowing the evidence that led to the charges. Ettinger, 24, wrote on his blog that rather than prosecute “Arab terrorists,” Israeli police busy themselves with groups like the “hilltop youth,” young activist settlers who camp on hilltops in the West Bank, and “Lahava,” a youth organization that seeks to prevent intermingling between Arabs and Jews. According to the Shin Bet — Israel’s security agency — members of Ettinger’s price tag offshoot movement called “the revolt” meet at night at different locations, share information on how to get Molotov cocktails and remain silent during police investigations, as well as plot schemes for creating anarchy and overthrowing the Israeli government in favor of a “Jewish kingdom.”

BUFFALO Larkinville once was a desolate patch of abandoned buildings and concrete, the very essence of the urban blight that beleaguered parts of Buffalo. On a recent night, however, the neighborhood — the heartbeat of this city in Upstate New York rediscovering its mojo — has a band playing to a packed outdoor bar populated with people of all ages, including several CEOs of tech start-ups. “There was risk in taking on the area,” says Harry Zemsky, owner of the Hydraulic Hearth restaurant and brewery here, surveying the scene. And 10 years ago, Canalside, another Buffalo neighborhood, was a parking lot. Today, it’s a thriving waterfront/naval park. Blue-collar Buffalo (pop. 261,000) is undergoing a hightech renaissance, from expansion projects by Solar City and IBM to myriad start-ups, such as virtual dressing room triMirror and social-media app KeepUp. Behind a major initiative by the state government, the city is dangling a more affordable cost of living than the San Francisco Bay Area and New York, a thriving university system and medical re-

search facility pumping out talented grads, and its proximity to New York and Toronto to draw young entrepreneurs. “The unique dynamic in Buffalo right now — of incredible community support and pride, and a palpable energy in the air — has helped (us) work toward critical inflection points in technology and business development,” says Daniel Shani, 28, the CEO of Energy Intelligence, which is developing an energy-harvesting system that turns the motion of vehicles into electricity. What’s happening in Buffalo is a departure from the stereotypical view of a city often associated with frigid winters and Rust Belt malaise. But the city of “Good Neighbors” is shedding its image and drawing comparisons to Austin on steroids, brimming with funky culture and art deco architecture that can leave visitors slack-jawed. “Great deals don’t just come out of Silicon Valley or New York,” says Fred Wilson, a managing partner at Union Square Ventures in New York. “I’m impressed by what I see in Buffalo’s emerging start-up community. They’re betting on tech start-ups to give their economy a boost.” The renaissance is giving Buffalo a second act as a city steeped in quirky history: President William McKinley was assassinated at the Pan-American Exposition here in 1901. Former president Millard Fillmore and funk star Rick James are buried at its Forest Lawn Cemetery. Frank Lloyd Wright’s magisterial Martin

House is the architectural legend’s first major work outside of Chicago. The city’s comeback story has been long and indirect. Buffalo was “frozen in time” economically the second half of the 20th century with the decline of the steel mill industry, says Peter Burakowski, a fourth-generation resident and local historian who is now director of marketing for 43North. The organization, part of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Buffalo Billion initiative, conceived to drive new economic opportunities in Buffalo and western New York, doles out $5 million a year in cash prizes to bring tech talent to Buffalo. As the city slowly emerged from its funk through growth in advanced manufacturing and medical research about 15 years ago, tech and other industries began to land here this year. The generational shift is arduous but steady and inevitable, residents say. They insist Buffalo is back. “My parents saw years of decline, but I’ve only seen upward movement,” Burakowski says. “The last 10 years have been remarkable in Buffalo. It’s a really cool moment to be here.”

There are 13 stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, including energy drink seller Monster Beverage (MNST), biotech Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN) and online retailer Priceline (PCLN) that have topped Google since it launched its initial public offering on Aug. 19, 2004, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. Apple (AAPL) also has outperformed Google’s shares. That’s not to belittle the gains showered on Google investors. Class A shares of the stock closed on their first day of trading at $50.17 a share on a split-adjusted basis, says S&P Capital IQ. Those shares are trading now for about $690.

Investors would be hard-pressed to find

such growth anywhere. Just two technology companies, Apple and online corporate sales company salesforce.com (CRM) have beaten Google shares since its IPO.

RETIREMENT

How Boomers loaded with debt can dig out Robert Powell

Special for USA TODAY

The stats, at first blush, are staggering. According to a Pew Charitable Trusts report out in July, eight in 10 Baby Boomers — those born from 1946 to 1964 — hold some form of debt, and nearly half (47%) still have a mortgage, which totaled an average of $90,000. And, more than half (58%) of the Silent Generation — defined as those born from 1928 to 1945 — still have debt. Nearly three in 10 (28%) still have a mortgage, which totaled $76,000 on average, according to Pew’s report. And that debt could cause big problems down the road. “Because most older Americans are not eliminating debt before retirement, they may be at greater risk of financial insecurity in their golden years,” wrote the authors of the report, “The Complex Story of American Debt.” What debt, besides mortgages, are Boomers and the SiGeneration holding? lent According to the report: u26% of the Silent Generation and 41% of Boomers have credit card debt, the median balance being $2,700 for the former and $4,000 for the latter. u21% of the Silent Generation and 35% of Boomers have car loans, the median balance being $12,000 for the former and $14,000 for the latter. To be fair, many of the 29 or so million members of the Silent Generation are not carrying much debt. One-third have no debt; the middle third has median overall debt of $3,540; and the top third have $93,000 in debt. And that pattern holds true for the now 66 million or so Baby Boomers: One-third have no debt; the middle third have $37,500 in overall debt; and the top third have $200,000 in debt. All that money has to be paid back. And here’s how experts say

see figures bandied about in terms of how much you’ll need to live on — say 70% of pre-retirement income,” says Gerri Detweiler, the director of consumer education at Credit.com in Sarasota, Fla. “But many of us really don’t know how much we can comfortably live on.” According to Detweiler, getting a handle on spending before you’re forced to make changes can put you in a better position to be able to retire on more of your own terms. “If you learn to live on less now, you can definitely live on less later,” she says. “And the money you free up can help you retire consumer debt.” “A non-profit credit-counseling agency is a good place to start,” says Bruce McClary, spokesman for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. Agencies that are a part of the NFCC can conduct a financial review with a holistic approach that can address credit card and budget concerns, as well as help resolve housing and student loan debt issues.

CONSIDER COUNSELING.

PAY DOWN HIGH-INTEREST DEBT FIRST. From her perch as a

credit and debt expert, Detweiler says it usually makes sense to pay off unsecured consumer debt first, but not always. “For example, someone might need to pay down a mortgage to the point where they can afford to sell their home and move somewhere less expensive,” she says. Paying down your mortgage first can also help you secure a reverse mortgage later on if you need one. To qualify for a reverse mortgage, you either have to own your home outright or have a small remaining mortgage balance — “small balance” being defined as one that can be paid off with the reverse mort-

What happens to Social Security benefits after a guardian dies? Robert Powell

Special for USA TODAY

I am 75 years old and guardian of a 7-yearold girl, whose father is disabled. Social Security now pays her $777 per month. What should I do to make sure that the girl will continue to receive her Social Security benefits after I die?

— DAN COLLINS DURBIN, W.VA.

Social Security’s RepresentaA tive Payment Program provides financial management for the Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments of beneficiaries who are incapable — in this case, a child — of managing their Social Security or SSI payments, says William “BJ” Jarrett, a public affairs specialist with the Social Security Administration (SSA) in Baltimore. Generally, the SSA will look for family or friends to serve as representative payees. When friends or family are not able to serve as payees, Social Security looks for qualified organizations to be representative payees. Visit “When People Need Help Managing Their Money” on the SSA’s website (ssa.gov/payee/).

If you’re having trouble making ends meet, Detweiler suggests starting your “retirement business” now to bring in extra cash to pay down debt. “Many retirees find they either can’t or don’t want to stop working but they do want to do something different,” she says. “If you can start that income stream while you are still working, then the transition may be less stressful.” To be sure, it’s not practical for everyone, especially if you have a stressful full-time job, Detweiler says. “But you can certainly start to do your homework — and dream a little — in the process,” she says. Powell is editor of Retirement Weekly and contributes regularly to USA TODAY, The Wall Street Journal and MarketWatch. Got questions about money? Email Bob at rpowell @allthingsretirement.com.

only your wages count toward Social Security’s earnings limits, Jarrett says. If you’re self-employed, the SSA counts only your net earnings from self-employment. For the earnings limits, the SSA doesn’t count income such as other government benefits, investment earnings, interest, pensions, annuities and capital gains, Jarrett says. The SSA does count an employee’s contribution to a pension or retirement plan if the contribution amount is included in the employee’s gross wages. FYI: When you reach full retirement age, your Social Security benefit will be recalculated, and you’ll be given credit for all those “lost” Social Security benefits. In other words, you will get all those dollars back, says John Olsen, president of Olsen Financial Group in St. Louis. For more, read Retirement Planner: How We Deduct Earnings From Benefits.

I understand that Social Security reviews your highest 35 years of earnings in determining your benefit at retirement. But what does Social Security consider “earnings” for the purpose of determining these benefits? I have most of my tax returns from the past 35 years and have tried to compare my tax returns with the earnings that Social Security has credited me for each year and cannot reconcile any of the numbers. How do I reconcile my earnings history correctly when comparing tax returns against the Social Security statements?

When having to pay back $1 for every $2 due to earnings prior to full retirement age, is a pension included in what they consider earnings?

— RICK EGGERT ERNON HILLS, ILL.

Your Social Security earnings are different from your taxA able income. First, the Social Se-

will deduct $1 from your benefit payments for every $2 you earn above the annual limit, Jarrett says. For 2015, that limit is $15,720. If you work for someone else,

think it wise to pay down your debt by tapping into your retirement accounts. It would be wiser to talk with a bankruptcy attorney first, Detweiler says. Yes, by tapping your retirement accounts you could reduce or eliminate your debt and the associated payments. But Detweiler likes the protection provided with retirement accounts. “No one wants to think that they will have to go down that path, but retirement funds are often protected from creditors,” she says. “Most people will need every penny they have saved in retirement and then some.” Besides, “if you borrow against a 401(k) or IRA before you reach 59½ years of age, there can be tax consequences and other fees that enter the picture,” McClary says. “Borrowing against your savings can undermine progress toward your target goal, and delay the start of your retirement.”

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

First look

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

KU’s plans may mean risk now, rewards in future The more possessions a game has the more it favors the team with more talent, the favorite. That’s pretty much true in every sport. The Kansas University football team is shy on talent, depth and experience compared to almost every opponent on its schedule. The Air Raid offense that new head coach David Beaty and his offensive staff will employ is all about cramming as many snaps into a game as possible. Square peg, meet round hole. So what’s a coach to do? “We won’t shorten the game,” Beaty said. “That’s not how we play the game. We’re going to continue to stay who we are because that’s how we practice every day. It’s who we say we are and we’re going to continue to do that.” Bravo! If Beaty has the discipline to practice what he preaches, it will greatly increase the risk of historic margins of defeat this season, but also improve the chance of KU football, years down the road, becoming a product that can draw talented recruits and big crowds, provided the victories eventually come. If monster margins of defeat make Beaty gunshy, KU will remain a hamster on its wheel to nowhere. The long-range plan has to stay in the forefront to stay on the road to real change. Still, for myriad reasons, it won’t be easy to keep pushing the pace. Some scores will grow ugly, forcing fans to the parking lot. Buttressing the morale of a defense that lacks experience and especially depth will require great skill. Worse, the most obvious depth problems are at defensive tackle — a position that requires regularly rotating players because the bigger the player the quicker he tires — and cornerback, where breathers are needed in a pass-happy Big 12 loaded with talented receivers. It all adds up to an exhausted defense made all the more so because of the preferred fast pace of KU’s offense. Statistically, the Jayhawks’ defense could be on the wrong side of school records, even if it’s far from the worst defense in school history. “If we’re fortunate enough to get a lead we’re going to continue to do what we do,” Beaty said. “... We are basically a nohuddle offense. It’s a twominute-type mentality from the very get go. So when we talk to our guys we talk to them about you’re never out of the game. You’re just never out of it. You can be back in the game in a heartbeat.” Regardless of whether the offense succeeds or fails on any given possession, the defense will be back on the field quickly, winded or not, short-term pain necessary for long-term program gain.

FREE STATE QUARTERBACK BRYCE TORNEDEN LOOKS TO STIFF-ARM defensive back Zion Bowlin (27) during a scrimmage Saturday at Free State High. At left is FSHS offensive lineman Tanner Liba. More images can be found at www.ljworld.com/scrimmages82215

Firebirds big on broken plays By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

At this point in his prep career, Free State High senior quarterback Bryce Torneden is accustomed to making highlight plays through improvisation. If a blitz comes from either edge or a defensive lineman breaks through into the backfield, the 5-foot10 Torneden’s quick feet and energetic legs make him an always-moving target. The shrewd quarterback’s ability to escape confounded the Firebirds’ secondstring defenders Saturday at

Free State’s first preseason scrimmage. But watching Torneden’s touchdown-making wizardry doesn’t always please FSHS coach Bob Lisher, who thought by the end of the open practice broken plays became his team’s best offense. “Instead of execution, we were just making plays because we had athletes,” Lisher said, adding that won’t work in the Sunflower League this fall. Torneden opened the scrimmage by taking off for a 60-yard touchdown run after scrambling away from

would-be tacklers behind the line of scrimmage. The returning starting QB sidestepped and spun away from defenders almost every time he had the ball in his hands. When the pocket collapsed, it really didn’t matter, because such scenarios allowed him to sprint down the field for huge chunks of yardage. On one play, Torneden whirled away from a sack and took off for a 20-yard touchdown. But quarterbacks coach Adam Barmann let him know immediately afterward he failed to see an open receiver.

“I just need to stay in the pocket more,” Torneden said. “That’ll come with more experience through my senior year.” It also came on the very next snap at the scrimmage. Torneden again looked unsackable and hit senior receiver Logan McKinney for a 60-yard TD (the offense opened almost every series at its own 40-yard line). Next, Torneden lofted a pass out in front of speedy junior receiver Zack Sanders for a 60-yard score. Please see FIREBIRDS, page 3C

Backfield depth a boon for Lions By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

The depth of Lawrence High’s backfield did not take long to show itself Saturday in the Lions’ football scrimmage at LHS. With senior running back JD Woods out after an injury suffered in Friday’s practice, fellow senior Tre Moore picked up the slack and then some. Moore found the end zone on his first two carries: the first from 62 yards out on the second play from scrimmage and the second on a 44yard run. “It felt good to get back on the field and doing my thing,” Moore said. “It’s really great to have the blockers. I’m grateful that we have Amani Bledsoe and Trey Georgie and all them. With them blocking, you can run for a TD in an instant.” Georgie and Bledsoe helped Woods rush for a Sunflower League-leading 1,667 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2014, and LHS coach Dirk Wedd said the fleet-footed back will be ready to go for the Lions’ season opener at 7 p.m. Sept. 4 against Blue Valley West at LHS. “In the Oklahoma drill, he

He’ll be fine.” The LHS backfield might not just be limited to Woods and Moore, though. Sophomore Dante’ Jackson, son of Kansas University football strength and condition-

a lot of different ways with special teams, offense and defense,” Wedd said of Jackson. “We’re excited to see what we can get out of him.” Senior quarterback Alan Clothier is a threat to run as well, but he showed Saturday Please see LIONS, page 3C

Eagles fly past Ravens, 40-17 LOS ANGELES ANGELS OF ANAHEIM

Eagles 40, Ravens 17 Philadelphia — Sam Bradford and DeMarco Murray had successful debuts, Kenjon Barber returned another punt for a score, and Philadelphia beat Baltimore Saturday night. Bradford went 3 of 5 for 35 yards and led the Eagles (2-0) on an 84-yard drive in his only series. He played his first game since tearing his left ACL for the second time in 11 months on Aug. 23, 2014. Bradford survived a late hit by Terrell Suggs, who lowered his helmet and tackled his knees for a roughing penalty. Bradford also took a hard shot from Brandon Williams and appeared shaken up, but stayed in to complete the drive. Murray had a 2-yard TD run, Ryan Mathews had a 14yard TD run and Barber took a punt 68 yards to the end zone a week after a 92-yard TD return in a 36-10 win over Indianapolis. Joe Flacco threw interceptions on his first two drives and the rest of the Ravens (1-1) didn’t fare much better against a team they practiced with the previous three days. Flacco finished 3 of 7 for 23 yards in three series. Walter Thurmond picked his deep pass that was tipped by cornerback Nolan Carroll. Byron Maxwell then grabbed Flacco’s

FROM LEFT, FORMER NEW YORK YANKEES Bernie Williams, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Derek Jeter react with Jorge Posada after a plaque in his honor for Monument Park was unveiled during a ceremony Saturday in New York. Posada’s jersey number, 20, was retired.

Yankees retire Jorge Posada’s No. 20 New York — The Yankees most recent championship teams were built around a group of players that came to be known as the “Core Four.” There was the suave leader Derek Jeter, the homespun starter Andy Pettitte and the classy closer Mariano Rivera. Jorge Posada was the fiery one. He spoke his mind in a clubhouse of singularly focused players. The catcher called out teammates and pushed the younger Yankees to perform up to their standards. For that passion and effort, the Yankees on Saturday retired Posada’s No. 20 and unveiled a plaque in Monument Park honoring his 17-year career — all in navy pinstripes — in which he was a key part of four World Series champions. “Ever since I could remember all I wanted to do was play baseball. Ever since growing up in beautiful Puerto Rico, everything I did was work toward my goal. I don’t think I had a plan B,” Posada said. “Baseball was my passion and luckily I had the privilege and honor to play for the greatest franchise in all of sports.” Fans chanted the familiar “Hip, hip, Jorge!” several times during a ceremony, that included a nearly eight-minute speech by Posada made in front of family and many of his former teammates. There will be yet another chance to celebrate Yankees hegemony of the late 1990s and 2000s on Sunday, when Pettitte’s No. 46 will be taken out of circulation. Manager Joe Torre’s No. 6 was retired last year, center fielder Bernie Williams’ No. 51 was hung up in May. Rivera’s number was retired in 2013, and Tino Martinez and Paul O’Neill have also been given plaques. All that’s left is a big bash for Jeter, his No. 2 the final available single digit.

Logano wins Bristol night race Bristol, Tenn. — Joey Logano spoiled what was expected to be a rout by Joe Gibbs Racing at Bristol Motor Speedway. Logano won the Bristol night race for the second straight year, grabbing the lead on the final restart Saturday night when he zipped past Team Penske teammate Brad Keselowski. He had to hold off a handful of challenges from Kevin Harvick, but ultimately cruised to his third win of the year. Logano has won on a superspeedway in the Daytona 500, on the road course at Watkins Glen and now Bristol’s short track. He has won twice this month as he readies for the start of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. There are two more races before the playoffs. “We are hitting it at the right time, that’s for sure,” Logano said. “I feel like we are right where we need to be. I can’t wait for the Chase to start.” Logano led 176 laps, second only to JGR driver Kyle Busch, who led a race-high 192 laps. Harvick finished second for the 10th time this season.

Self says season should be lots of fun By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Bill Self, who runs Kansas University’s traditionrich basketball program, kicked off his 13th year at KU and 30th overall as a coach by speaking at Saturday’s semester-opening Traditions Night in Memorial Stadium. “It means ... gosh I’m getting old but I’m certainly excited about this year because I do think we could have a fun year,” Self said. “A lot of things have to happen. We still obviously have an eligibility issue we’ve got to hopefully work out. But I’m excited because that group that went to South Korea ... they played great but you could look at it potentially that we could have had four of our top eight guys not even travel. That gets me excited.” Devonté Graham, who has fully recovered from a quad injury, and Brannen Greene (hip), who is expected to be full-go for the start of practice Oct. 2, did not compete for KU’s gold-medal-winning team at the World University Games. Cheick Diallo and Svi Mykhailiuk, who were not born in the U.S., also sat out. Diallo, 6-9 from Our Savior New American in New York, is on campus and ready to practice but has not yet been cleared by the NCAA Eligibility Center. “It wouldn’t surprise me if we don’t know anything for at least another month,” Self said. “Nobody’s been turned down. Nobody’s been said no to, nothing like that. His school is obviously still in question (some classes reportedly may not be recognized by NCAA). We’ll get an answer hopefully sooner rather than later. That will tell us what our next step needs to be as far as moving forward. We believe it should be a certain way but it’s not about what we believe. It’s what is right and what’s fair. Certainly we’ll fight hard for him,” Self added of Diallo, who has been making at least 700 shots a day from 18 feet during offseason workouts. Mississippi State transfer Dwight Coleby attended Saturday’s event. He was unable to come to Lawrence this summer because his passport was stolen in his native Bahamas. A story is at web address http://bit. ly/1MLdhXp “Those other guys (bigs) have a big advantage over him (now). You don’t push yourself on your own like you do when you’ve got some accountability. I think he’ll probably labor conditioning-wise for two or three weeks. He’s fine and ready to go,” Self said. l This, that: Self said the 16 basketball players would live in Naismith Hall until the new McCarthy Hall is ready with a target move-in date of Oct. 1. “It’s going to be well worth the wait,” Self said of new apartments. ... The roster currently has 13 scholarship players and two walk-ons. All are in town except Frank Mason III, who arrives today. Former Lansing High player Clay Young, 6-5 sophomore from KCK Community College, likely will soon be added as a walk-on in coming days. To read about Young go to http://bit.ly/1NCY4H5 ... Self said he’d likely hold one week of Boot Camp instead of two because of recruiting conflicts. It likely would be the week of Sept. 21-27.

Perez powers Royals, 6-3 Boston (ap) — Salvador Perez hit a three-run homer, Yordano Ventura pitched six effective innings and the AL Centralleading Kansas City Royals beat the Red Sox, 6-3, Saturday night, ending Boston’s four-game winning streak. Kendrys Morales added a two-run double and Alex Rios had three singles and an RBI for Kansas City. Following losses the first two nights, the Royals can earn a split of the four-game series today. Mookie Betts hit a solo homer and David Ortiz had two singles and three walks for the Red Sox. Boston had won four of the five meetings this season, and 10 of 12 since the start of 2014. Ventura (8-7) gave up one run and six hits, striking out six. He improved to 4-0 in his last six starts. Greg Holland got Travis Shaw to pop out with the bases loaded for final out, earning his 28th save. Leading 2-0 in the sixth, the Royals chased Matt Barnes (3-4) when Perez homered.

BRIEFLY KU volleyball, alumni meet Kansas University’s volleyball team swept three sets from a KU alumni squad, 25-19, 25-21, 25-21, on Saturday at Horejsi Center before coach Ray Bechard mixed the rosters to shake up the fourth set,

Lisher said breakdowns on the offensive line led to much of the ad-libbed monster gains, but such miscues are typical for this time of year — “especially when you’re inexperienced that’s gonna happen a little bit more,” the coach added. That showed even as Free State’s first-string offense started hot, with senior running back Sam Skwarlo also doing his best Houdini impression in the backfield, before escaping for a 27-yard rushing touchdown — his first of two long scores on limited carries.

that he is not afraid to take chances throwing the ball down the field. Clothier completed five of his six passes for 104 yards. Senior tight end Price Morgan helped his play caller’s cause by making a finger-tip grab for 35 yards. “(Clothier) had a lot of time in the pocket. His footwork has gotten so much better than last year,” Moore said. “His throwing has gotten a lot better, too. He’s been working really hard this summer and he’s going to do good things for us this season.” Shortly after Morgan’s acrobatic reception, the tight end went to the other side of the ball to lead the Lions’ linebacker corps while Georgie and Bledsoe also lined up on LHS’ defensive front four. Not much got past the Lions’ defensive line as the two Division I recruits wreaked havoc in the backfield, but Morgan and fellow linebackers Tanner Green and Kon-

giving the Blue squad a 2521 victory. The six-member alumni team consisted of Brianne Riley, Erin McNorton, Sara McClinton, Catherine Carmichael, Tayler Tolefree and Jaime Mathieu. Sophomore Kelsie Payne had a match-high

18 kills and four blocks, for KU, and sophomore Madison Rigdon had 11 kills, eight digs and five service aces. Junior Maggie Anderson had 37 assists, and junior Cassie Wait 16 digs. KU will open the season against Army at the Arkansas Tournament in Fay-

Free State’s firststring defense had a strong showing, too, often swarming to the ball. Skwarlo, senior Paul Bittinger, junior Noah Kema, Torneden, senior Jalen Galloway and junior Zion Bowlin showed up in the backfield for tackles at various points, and junior Jay Dineen and McKinney came away with an interception apiece. Torneden, though, left the scrimmage focused on improving Free State’s offense. “We don’t want to make our living off of busted plays,” the senior said. “We’ve just gotta keep working on that. But I’m glad if a play breaks down we’re not shutting down. We still have a chance.” ner Kelley snuffed out anything that got past them. “Defense is such a team thing,” Morgan said. “You can’t have one person who is just a superstar win a game for you on defense. It takes 11 guys. I really feel like we’re starting to play as a team instead of a bunch of individuals.” Morgan’s day was not quite done after suiting up on both sides of the ball, though. At the conclusion of the scrimmage, Wedd brought Kyleigh Severa, Morgan’s girlfriend and a member of LHS’ state champion 4x400 relay team, to the sideline. Wedd challenged Morgan to a sideline-to-sideline-andback race against Severa to see who which players would have to do pushups following the scrimmage, and his tight end/ linebacker rose to the occasion. “I didn’t know coach Wedd was going to do that,” Morgan said with a laugh. “He kind of put me on the spot. I was a little worried that she was going to catch me, but I think it’s the cleats is the reason she didn’t get me.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Pirates push past Giants The Associated Press

National League Pirates 3, Giants 2 Pittsburgh — Starling Marte hit a solo home run off George Kontos with two outs in the ninth inning, lifting Pittsburgh to a victory over San Francisco on Saturday. Marte sent the first pitch he saw from Kontos (2-2) into the sundrenched seats in left field for his second career walkoff hit. Mark Melancon (3-1) needed six pitches to get through the top of the ninth to set up Marte’s winner. Jung Ho Kang hit a pair of solo homers for the Pirates. Pittsburgh’s bullpen has won 18 straight decisions, the longest streak in the majors since 1909.

Cubs 9, Braves 7 Chicago — Miguel Montero and Jorge Soler broke a tie with back-toback solo homers to start the eighth inning, and the Chicago Cubs overcame homers from both sides of the plate by Nick Swisher in a comeback win over Atlanta — their third straight. Montero and Soler both lofted balls into the left field basket off former Cub Edwin Jackson (2-2), sending Atlanta to its sixth straight loss. Swisher homered from both sides of the plate in the same game for a record-tying 14th time to drive in four runs. He tied the Yankees’ Mark Teixeira, who homered rightand left-handed most recently in a game on July 31 against the White Sox.

Local athletes take taekwondo titles ————

Thompson, Brinkley, Becklin claim gold medals at world championships By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Nineteen members of Lawrence’s Prime Martial Arts competed in the 2015 Songahm Taekwondo World Championships in July in Little Rock, Arkansas, and three of them returned with gold medals. The PMA trio of Jacob Thompson, Fe Brinkley and Katie Becklin combined for five world championships, but they all persevered through different struggles to their respective titles.

Thompson takes after family members PMA owner Jimmy Golden pushes his students out of their comfort zones in order to reach new heights, but Thompson is one martial artist he expects a little bit more out of. Thompson won world championships in the 13-14-year-old first-degree forms and weapons divisions, and is the nephew of Golden, who won world titles himself in 2006 and 2007. “Mr. Golden ever since I was a little kid wanted me to be a world champion,” Thompson said. “It’s been rough the past tournament season because he’s always been pushing me. He’s made me cry and he’s made me sweat, but it just all paid off in the end.” Thompson, an eighthgrader at Southwest Middle School, has a number of close friends who also compete in taekwondo. As excited as he was to win a world title, he hopes that his friends will achieve the same feat someday so they can experience the same feeling he did. “We got together and we trained everyday for six days a week and we trained for about three hours everyday pushing ourselves and it was all worth it in the end, though, for me,” Thompson said. “They’re going for it again next year and hopefully they’ll get it.” Between training and competing in tournaments year-round, the 13-year-old Thompson already has experienced some of the major challenges of being a studentathlete. “The hardest part is school because every time I went to a tournament, I would miss a day or two of school and would have to make up homework down at that tournament,” Thompson said. “I made it on the honor roll still and I missed so many days of school.” While Thompson is following in Golden’s footsteps, he has also inspired some of his other

It’s amazing,” Thompson said. “My mom (Michelle), she’s coming back to try and get her black belt because she stopped when she was a kid. It’s just really cool.” One of the most rewarding aspects of taekwondo for Thompson has been bringing his family closer together, so

experiencing his world title with Golden on hand was very special for him. “The feeling after I won and giving my uncle a hug after I won was pretty amazing,” Thompson said. “All of the hard work paid off.”

Sparring title special for Brinkley While Thompson picked up his first two world titles this year, Brinkley is no stranger to winning in taekwondo’s top tournament. Brinkley won world championships in forms in 2006

and 2007 and weapons in 2013 and 2014, but she had fallen just short of gold in her favorite event until this summer. For four consecutive years, Brinkley finished as the runner-up in her division of the world championship in sparring, but she claimed gold this year in the 18-29-year-old fourth- and fifth-degree competition. “This one in particular is very special to me because for the longest time, I’ve always wanted the sparring world championship title,” Brinkley said. “That’s the one I’ve wanted from the get-go. It’s my favorite division to compete in because you have your forms competition, you have your weapons competition and sparring is like a chess game.” Brinkley, 25, has been doing martial arts since she was in the third grade. As a head instructor at Prime Martial Arts, she has been able to make a living out of the sport she loves. “It’s something that I love,” Brinkley said. “I’m just very fortunate and grateful to have something that I love going to everyday. There are some people who don’t have that. I’m very thankful to have a job that I love.” Brinkley moved to Lawrence in 2004 and graduated from Free State High in 2008. She then headed to Johnson County Community College, but eventually returned to Lawrence to work under Golden at PMA. Helping keep Lawrence safe has been one of the things that Brinkley has enjoyed most about

teaching and competing in taekwondo. “Since we live in a college town, we definitely go to all of the sororities and help them. We just go out to the community to help them learn how to defend themselves,” Brinkley said. “We teach seminars absolutely free because we want to make sure our community is being safe. We do these free demonstrations for everyone just to make sure something so little that could change or save a life one day. We want to spread the word on that, and we love doing that for our community.” Along with helping others in the community, Brinkley attested that PMA has become a community within itself and is like a family to her. Brinkley said that she would not be a five-time world champion or have accomplished what she has in taekwondo without the help of Golden or her other students and coworkers at PMA. “Jimmy Golden, he knows when to push us to the limit, but the way that he coaches us is phenomenal. You can see our banners right here. He has created so many world titles,” Brinkley said. “He’s so passionate and he believes in his students that they can achieve something, but at the same time, he will give you tough love. But at the end, he will give you that satisfaction of, ‘was it all worth it?’ We always say, ‘yes, it was.’”

Not letting go of taekwondo Martial arts have been a passion of Beck-

lin’s since she was in high school, but time constraints with college kept her from training her way to be a champion. Now that Becklin has settled in Lawrence as a postdoctoral fellow at KU in the ecology and evolutionary biology departments, she has made it a point to again fit taekwondo as a main activity in her free time. “With stuff going on in college, I really couldn’t keep up with the training. So I took time off from probably about 2002 until I started again just recently, so it had been about 10 years,” Becklin said. “The style that I did before, it was an independent school so they had kind of a mixture of different styles and it wasn’t the same as ATA’s (American Taekwondo Association) songahm taekwondo. I basically had to start over when I came here. It was a different style of training.” It did not take Becklin long to find success since starting classes at PMA in February of 2012. Becklin won world championships in the 30-39-year-old first degree division of form and weapons in 2014 before stepping up to win the same titles in the second and third degree competitions in July. “The first time I won, I was really nervous. I didn’t really know what to expect and I was surprised that it went so well,” Becklin said. “But this time around, I knew what to expect and I was ready to go even though I moved up a rank to second and third degree, I really felt that I was ready to take on that challenge of having more difficult competition.” While Becklin has been dominant in the forms and weapons competitions the past two years, she finds herself in the same position that Brinkley was in. Becklin finished second in her division of sparring, but after seeing Brinkley bring home gold after four years of placing second in the event, she is determined to claim that title next year in her age group. “(Brinkley) is a real inspiration to a lot of the women and young girls that train at Prime because she is so dedicated to her training. She’s an excellent martial artist,” Becklin said. “She got second place in sparring for four years in a row before she finally won this year. That really tells a lot of us that if you keep training and keep working, there is always a possibility that you can be able to achieve that goal next time.”

Chiefs’ Berry relishes return to Arrowhead By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — Eric Berry has made the drive into Arrowhead Stadium on game day dozens of times over the years. On Friday night, he rolled down the windows and went a little bit slower. He wanted to smell the barbecue wafting off the grills in the parking lot. He wanted to see the kids throwing footballs between the cars. And more than anything, he wanted to hear all those Kansas City Chiefs fans shout words of encouragement when they saw him roll past.

“All those emotions and things that come with the game, you get it riding through the parking lot,” he said. “You have to be a Kansas City Chief to understand.” Few people expected Berry to make that drive Friday night, at least not in December, when the Pro Bowl safety was diagnosed with lymphoma and stepped away from the game. But after grueling rounds of chemotherapy, Berry was deemed cancerfree in June. He was back in training camp by the time rookies arrived in July, and made his return to the field last week in Arizona, a remarkable re-

covery that left even his doctors in Atlanta amazed. When he stepped onto the turf in Arrowhead Stadium for Friday night’s game against Seattle, he was greeted by a roar from a crowd that has always adored him. “They give you so many words of encouragement,” Berry said. “It does so much for me.” The simple fact that Berry is healthy makes his story a success. That he is back playing the game he loves eight months after diagnosis makes it downright astonishing. But he’s not just playing, either. Berry is flourishing. He began working with rookies and long

shots in training camp, but has slowly moved up the pecking order, spending most of his time lately with the No. 2 defense. But against the Seahawks, he was on the field several snaps with the starters, especially when they used an extra defensive back in nickel packages. “I think the coaches are doing a great job of easing me back in and just being alert for in-game situations,” he said. “It’s actually good to get out there during a game, and see everything live, and see everything fast, because there is a difference between practice and a game. “I’m glad I get to see

that when I come out here on the field.” It is Berry that the rest of the guys in the locker room are glad to see on the field. “Tonight was special for him,” said Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson, who was also back at Arrowhead Stadium for the first time since a seasonending Achilles injury in Week 1 last year. “It was special for the whole team,” Johnson added, “to see his courage and determination and everything he went through. He stands tall. I always say that. Eric Berry stands tall.” Berry had several family members on hand for

Friday night’s game, and they witnessed an outpouring of support. Along with all those well-wishers in the parking lot, fans held up signs inside the stadium to offer their encouragement, and a video played on the big screens that said, “Welcome Back!” — with the “E’’ and the “B’’ highlighted. The Chiefs signed Ron Parker to pair with Husain Abdullah, just in case Berry would not be back this season. Now, that depth gives them the luxury of taking their time with his return. “He’s really back close to where he was,” Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton said.

hose poking around the Lawrence Arts Center in recent weeks may have noticed a couple of unfamiliar faces in the building’s ceramics and printmaking studios. The center’s 2015-2016 artists-in-residence moved into their studios earlier this month and will soon begin teaching classes, taking part in community-outreach projects and creating new work in Lawrence. Kyla Strid, director of residencies and adult education, was in their shoes not too long

ago. She participated in the Arts Center’s 2013-2014 ceramist residency program before taking on her position after her stint ended. She says she’s already impressed with current residents Amanda Maciuba and Christy Wittmer, who practice printmaking and ceramics, respectively.

The pair were chosen out of 40 other applicants for the residency. “They’re excited to be here, they’re excited to be part of the community and they’ve more than risen to the occasion,” Strid says. They just gave their artist talks to the staff this week, and they just blew everyone away. They were thoughtful and poetic

Artists-in-residence bring ‘thoughtful, poetic’ approach to work in how they talked about their work, and really open and honest, too.” “I can’t wait to spend the next year getting to know them,” Strid says of Maciuba and Wittmer. Once fall classes begin next month, she’s confident students and community members will feel the same way. Please see ARTISTS, page 3D

An up-close look at evil A

companion piece to the best documentary of the last 10 years is playing at the Alamo Drafthouse in Kansas City, and it sheds more disturbing light on the darkest depths of men’s souls, but for the first time offers a sort of catharsis as well. “The Look of Silence,” like its 2013 predecessor “The Act of Killing,” examines the events surrounding a genocide that took place in Indonesia in 1965. Neither film, however, is a straightforward recounting of the atrocities. Rather, director Joshua Oppenheimer weaves key information about the genocide into the threads of his unique storytelling style. In “The Act of Killing,” he let the Indonesian commanders who carried out the murders of at least million “suspected communists” — who are still in power and celebrated in the culture as heroes — act out a dramatized version of their own story. This unusual narrative resulted in a shocking film that provided insight into the feelings of guilt and denial that plague a killer, but left no room for the voices of the victims’ families. “The Look of Silence” is a cleaner, more straightforward documentary, and it does just that — using a low-key local optometrist as a stand-in for an entire generation of Indonesians who are scarred by the genocide and still living with massive amounts of fear of more retribution. Adi Rukun, whose brother was brutally murdered by a paramilitary organization three years before he was born, uses Oppenheimer’s access to confront the murders about their crimes, putting himself and his family at risk. (Just how risky is this endeavor? Two dozen people who worked on the film, including a co-director, are listed as “Anonymous” and presumably still living in Indonesia.) The title of the film is already an apt metaphor, but Adi uses his title as an eye doctor as an excuse to set up meetings with many of the people in charge of the killings. The image on the movie poster, from one of these meetings, is a frightening visual representation of the movie’s power. “The past is the past,” says one leader of the death squads when confronted by Adi, not willing to accept responsibility or acknowledge the true context of his crimes. He is being fitted for new corrective lenses with a large apparatus on his face, his blank eyes magnified, staring straight into Oppenheimer’s camera. The “look of silence” is an all-around crisis in the whole of Indonesia, not just on behalf of the killers. Adi’s mother is candid in detailing the emotional scars that the unlawful and violent death of her son has left her. His 100-year-old father, who is blind, is shown having a frightening episode even when he can’t remember who he is. He doesn’t remember his family or the son who was taken from him, but the fear is so deeply embedded in him that he feels the need to hide. But even with these deep wounds, no one who lived through the genocide wants to talk about it. Meanwhile, Adi’s son is shown at school receiving a lecture on the “purge of the communists” from his

eric@scene-stealers.com teacher. It is also full of bloody detail but here, it’s the victims of the genocide who are portrayed as the ones who ripped open people’s bellies with machetes. When his father tells him the truth later at home he says, “So the communists weren’t cruel?” As in “The Act of Killing,” there are numerous scenes of killers boasting about their crimes in gory detail. It gets a bit repetitive, but drives home how morally bankrupt the people in power truly are and the bizarre lengths to which they must go to assuage their own guilt. When confronted by the soft-spoken Adi, the answers are universal. It was a crazy time. They were just following orders. But “The Look of Silence” sees beyond those pat answers and into the minds of a country that is terrified to acknowledge the truth. Oppenheimer uses a lot of close-ups and often keeps his camera not on the person talking but on the person reacting. What I will remember the most are the faces. Adi: calm; looking for a glimmer of understanding, rage seething just behind his eyes. His son: a blank slate; wowed by the descriptions of human cruelty, taking propaganda at face value. His mother: her unbreakable determination cracking at the mention of the son she lost. The killers: terrified guilt masked by outward indifference and sometimes open aggression. “The Look of Silence” isn’t as formally exciting as “The Act of Killing” but because it’s so singularly focused, it’s a more emotionally engaging story, works great as an introduction to this topic without any prior knowledge of the first movie, and because its concerns are different, both films together are a richer experience and provide a more complete picture.

Without the protection of a camera crew and a strategic, fast-paced schedule for interviews, Adi may not have gotten out of these confrontations alive. Never before has a documentary shown family members of victims confronting perpetrators who are still in power, which is why “The Look of Silence,” filmed both concurrently and following the completion of “The Act of Killing,” had to be released second. Oppenheimer has no plans to return to Indonesia and human-rights activists are watching over Adi and his family

as of this writing. Indonesia, meanwhile, is very aware of these movies, and both the people and government are struggling to find ways to address them. “The Look of Silence” is 103 minutes and is rated PG-13 for thematic material involving disturbing graphic descriptions of atrocities and inhumanity. — Eric Melin is the editorin-chief of Scene-Stealers.

‘Wolfpack’ fascinating, but can it be believed? Editor’s Note: This review was originally published July 1. It is being republished because “The Wolfpack” is now playing at Liberty Hall. A controversial documentary called “The Wolfpack” profiles six home-schooled brothers (now aged 16 to 23) who, along with their parents and sister, live in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. They make creative homemade costumes and re-enact movies like “Reservoir Dogs” and “The Dark Knight” in their spare time, which they have a lot of, because they are rarely allowed out of their small public-housing apartment. One year, their father let them leave nine times. Another year, once. Without any outside interaction, movies become a window through which the brothers view the world. Documentarians must gain the trust of their subjects to capture real moments, and director Crystal Moselle pulls off a remarkable balancing act in profiling this family. The Angulo brothers are guarded, but also have big smiles and are bursting to leave the nest. The film calls its own veracity into question by her very presence in the apartment. One must also

assume that father Oscar is in a nearby room, listening to all the interviews. Yet there are truthful, revealing moments throughout “The Wolfpack,” even as there are hundreds of unanswered questions. The control that Oscar exerts over his tribe can’t really be explained, but a fearful cloud hangs over everything. Moselle is off-screen, but it’s obvious that her presence changes the family dynamic, so there are a lot of scenes that are up for deeper interpretation, and at least one scene was shot by one of the boys. We may never know the entire story of the Angulos’ sheltered childhood, and “The Wolfpack” doesn’t even chronicle everything that is known. (When the first three boys were born, the couple was living out of a van, for instance.) As it has since its premiere at Sundance where it won the Grand Jury Documentary prize, “The Wolfpack” will likely continue to fend off charges of exploitation. Taking all of this into consideration, “The Wolfpack” is still a remarkable piece of work, especially knowing that its subjects are film-savvy. Just how much of their own story are they crafting? — Eric Melin

Upcoming KU Theatre season takes on social issues

Artists CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

Amanda Maciuba By the time Amanda Maciuba arrived in Iowa City to attend graduate school, the college town was already four years removed from a 2008 flood that damaged nearly 800 homes and 260 businesses within city limits and the encompassing county. The University of Iowa’s Arts Campus, where Maciuba would eventually earn her master’s degree in printmaking, was particularly devastated, forcing faculty and students, including Maciuba, to carry on in temporary classrooms. As abandoned homes were being torn down and new buildings going up, the experience went on to inform a series of prints that Maciuba says explore how humans “respond to national disasters and climate change.” It’s a common theme in her work, which has been largely influenced by her childhood in suburban Buffalo — a city that, once a thriving industrial hub, has in recent decades slipped into economic stagnation and population decline — and time living in the Midwest. “Witnessing it as an outsider, I was really interested in the effects the flood had on this town — the ways people changed their practices because of the flood but also the ways people ignored things because of the flood,” says Maciuba, 28. The works, which evoke biblical imagery like Noah’s Ark and the flood from the Book of Genesis, also capture the ultra-modern architecture of the rebuilt Hancher Auditorium. Maciuba says the performing arts hall was rebuilt a mere 100 yards away from its original location on the banks of the Iowa River. In Lawrence, the printmaker plans on researching efforts to restore Kansas’ remaining prairie, sustainable agriculture such as strip farming and how local folks are developing new methods to prevent runoff pollution and flooding. Since her time in Iowa, Maciuba has fallen in love with the Midwest, and she is excited to con-

AMANDA MACIUBA WORKS IN HER STUDIO AT THE LAWRENCE ARTS CENTER, where she is the 2015-2016 printmaking artistin-residence.

CHRISTY WITTMER, the 2015-2016 ceramics artist-in-residence at the Lawrence Arts Center, works on a clay flower in her new studio tinue her stay here. “The Midwest just has such a wide spectrum. I also think it’s an area that’s taken for granted,” Maciuba says. “It just seems to exist, though it provides food for the entire country and fuel and all this other stuff, but there are all these interesting things happening — good and bad — that I think more people should be exposed to.”

Christy Wittmer As a young girl growing up in Lima, Ohio, Christy Wittmer liked to

busy herself with outdoor pursuits — digging around in the dirt and pulling apart plants were the big ones, Wittmer recalls. Decades later, she still enjoys getting her hands dirty, though these days you’re more likely to find the ceramicist in her Lawrence Arts Center studio than the backyard. “I want to engage the viewer’s experience in their own body,” says Wittmer, whose sculptures often feature precariously stacked objects topped with delicate porcelain. “Like, wanting

to get close to a piece but not wanting to knock it over — it’s this push and pull. So, the viewing becomes more of a fullbody experience.” Wittmer, 41, worked as a massage therapist for a couple of years between earning her bachelor’s degree in painting and sculpture from Miami University in Ohio and completing her graduate studies in ceramics at the University of Cincinnati. Though she’s no longer practicing, aside from the occasional back rub for friends and

family, Wittmer says her fascination with human anatomy continues to manifest itself in her work. Her mixed-media sculptures, which sometimes resemble a “pile of stuff” (her words) from far away, are intended to provoke a physical reaction from the viewer. Wittmer’s process sometimes involves the curation of objects with the kinds of details — a subtle fingerprint left behind; a foaming glaze that creates an uneven, craggy surface resembling coral — that might motivate someone to take a closer look. Wittmer also draws from her one-year stint as a glaze chemist at Cincinnati’s Rockwood Pottery, which involved mixing compounds to create different glaze effects. Her current work involves plenty of “experimenting and tinkering around,” just like she did in the lab. That’s how she likes it. “What interests me about my work is that it inspires the viewer to have their own kind of creative imaginings about what’s going on there,” Wittmer says. “I feel like pushing materials outside of what you see every day allows more of that to happen.” — Features reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at jhlavacek@ljworld.com and 832-6388.

Some of today’s mostdiscussed current events and social issues — including teen dating violence, riots and feminism — will play a prominent role in Kansas University Theatre’s upcoming season. The 2015-2016 lineup, which kicks off Oct. 2, aims to serve as “an invitation for discussion and revelation by the community,” according to a KU news release. Among the highlights is “Johanna: Facing Forward,” based on the reallife story of an Ohio teen who was raped and shot in the face by her abusive ex-boyfriend in 2007. The play, which opens Oct. 16 at KU’s Crafton-Preyer Theatre, will only be produced for the second time and will be directed by playwright Tlaloc Rivas in University Theatre’s production. “‘Johanna: Facing Forward’ is a perfect example of how theatre can help shape our cultural conversations as it explores one woman’s struggle to end violence against women,” Dennis Christilles, University Theatre artistic director and associate theater professor, said in the news release. The rest of the season includes: “Detroit ‘67” by Dominique Morisseau, Oct. 2-8; “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen, adapted by Frank McGuinness, Nov. 14-22; “Reckless” by Craig Lucas, Dec. 4-10; “The Rehearsal & The Hypochondriac” by Molière, adapted by Mechele Leon, Feb. 26-March 6; “Little Women — The Broadway Musical,” April 8-17; and “Welcome to Arroyo’s” by Kristoffer Diaz, April 29-May 5. Tickets for all are available now and can be purchased at kutheatre.com or by calling 864-3982. Season tickets for all seven shows are available for $105.

BOOKS

Required reading: Ta-Nehisi Coates’ ‘Between the World and Me’

just finished Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “Between the World And Me,” or should I say, it just finished me. One of those books, you see. Written as a letter to his son about his experiences as black man in America, it is both a memoir and a lesson. I suspect when one reads a memoir, one looks to see: where did we act similarly, how are we different? What human experiences do we share in common? What life lessons can I learn from this person? Coates asked me to go bigger, and higher and beyond. This I now know — my own life experience is very much shaped by Ta-Nehisi Coates’ experience, even though I don’t have to know this. At times, I felt out of my depth and over my head. I felt like I was on the edge of grasping some central point and it slipped away again and again. I felt those things in the best of ways, like when you’re picking your way through philosophy or music or math. There are dark edges, and at the same time, light bulbs keep coming on and on

stay there, to sit with it. To sit uneasy. I found it was still in me to seek distance, until he writes about the murder of a friend by the police, a man not much older than my son: “Think of all the love poured into him.

derstand my whiteness through the lens of how I understand his blackness? Coates doesn’t offer his son any answers, but he gives him prescription. Struggle. Keep struggling. That’s where the understanding lies. Coates admits he was not a natural student, but that he is a prodigious learner. He writes, “The pursuit of knowing was freedom to me, the right to declare your own curiosities and follow them through all manner of books. I was made for the library, not the classroom. The classroom was a jail of other people’s interests. The library was open, unending, free. Slowly I was discovering myself.” “Between the World and Me” isn’t about offering hope. It’s about keeping his boy safe, and perhaps through his words, he might offer you something, too. — Polli Kenn is the Readers’ Services Coordinator at LPL.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Old flame still holds power many years later Dear Annie: Years ago, I was engaged to a man I thought was the love of my life. But at college, he ghosted me, leaving without an explanation. This was horribly wounding and I never recovered. I am still single, though I haven’t stopped looking. My ex-fiance eventually married a woman and they had a child together. Now he says he is emotionally isolated and wants to stay in constant contact with me. He explained how he was abused as a child, and his lifelong anxiety crippled him and made him leave me. He has also apologized. The chemistry is as strong as ever. My afternoons and evenings are taken up by phone calls and texts, but he never talks about a future for us. He has told his wife we’re “friends.”

This is driving me nuts. I still care about him, but I don’t feel respected or romantically appreciated, despite the physical attraction. I worry that if I break this off, his life will take a turn for the worse and I’d regret it. He says he loves me, but it looks like it will be years before anything could happen between us. Since I recognize that I’m caught in an undertow of long, unrequited love — could you throw

Zombie apocalypse, take two The hotly anticipated prequel to the cable hit, “Fear the Walking Dead” (8 p.m., AMC) has everything I find lacking in the original. And more. ‘‘Fear” begins in familiar territory. Nick (Frank Dillane), a heroin addict, awakens in his squalid shooting gallery only to find his companions slaughtered and his lady friend devouring their faces. He makes a hasty escape, but gets hit by a car and safely ends up in a hospital. Was it a dream? A premonition? Are drugs the cause of the zombie apocalypse that we know is coming? Or is the zombie theme a metaphor for our drugged-out culture? We quickly meet Nick’s mother, Madison (Kim Dickens), a high school guidance counselor whose students are beginning to call in sick and worry her with rumors of a strange epidemic. She and her new boyfriend, Travis (Cliff Curtis), an English teacher, try to blend their families as best they can, mending the hurt feelings of children on both sides of two messy divorces. Dickens (“Deadwood,” ‘‘Treme”) is remarkable here. She reminds me of Connie Britton’s Tami Taylor in “Friday Night Lights,” who was also a harried mother and educator juggling feelings of responsibility for children in and out of her immediate orbit. Of course, much of this becomes a hill of beans — or rotting flesh — as the zombie apocalypse moves from rumor to fact. But it’s nice to see the focus back on character development for a brief moment. Before the dead flesh starts shuffling, “Fear” does a great job of building tension and an overarching sense of dread. The skies fill with the thunder of police helicopters. Traffic bottles up for no reason. Paranoid theories bleed from every tablet and smartphone. Is this the beginning of the end — or just another day in Los Angeles?

Tonight’s other highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): Syria gasses its own; a profile of former Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.); ballet star Misty Copeland.

The Tennessee Titans host the St. Louis Rams in preseason NFL action (7 p.m., Fox).

Public rage grows as Nick pushes through a compromise on the housing plan on “Show Me a Hero” (7 p.m., HBO).

me a rope? — Still Carrying the Torch Dear Torch: You need to get out of the water altogether. This old flame is never going to leave his wife. He’s kept you pining for years, and now you are giving him additional power over your future. He should be confiding in his wife or a professional therapist, and you should say so. Start by cutting back on these conversations. Answer him less and less often, and then stop altogether. This is not a romance. It’s his midlife crisis. Dear Annie: Ten months ago, after 45 years of marriage, I lost my wonderful wife. One of my biggest heartbreaks is the fact that she did not write down many of her selfdeveloped recipes for

foods I really enjoyed. She always made a special effort to fix things she knew I liked. But no matter how hard I try, I cannot duplicate these dishes she made from memory. I would like to suggest that whoever does most of the cooking in the family write down such recipes for their spouse and children. It would mean so much for me to be able to fix the things we enjoyed together. — Ron from West Virginia Dear Ron: Thank you for the sweet suggestion. Recipes and other family traditions that are not written down can be lost to close family members. What a shame that would be.

Rows of T-bone, KC strip, rib-eye and cube steaks at Bichelmeyer Meats

In the market for meat W

ith summer winding to a close and tailgating season right around the corner, I’d like to dedicate a hefty portion of this column to visiting three of Kansas City’s best familyowned and operated meat markets. While relative newcomers like Broadway Butcher Shop (3828 Broadway) and Local Pig (2618 Guinotte Ave.) provide excellent products and service, there’s a lot to be said for the tradition and quality of multi-generational outfits like McGonigle’s Market, Fritz’s Meat & Superior Sausage Company and Bichelmeyer Meats. Stepping into McGonigle’s Market, at 1307 W. 79th St. near Ward Parkway, is like entering a different era of American grocery shopping. The market was opened by Bill McGonigle in 1951, but the family’s involvement in the meat business in Kansas City dates back to the 1880s. Today, people visit McGonigle’s for the highquality beef and Berkshire pork, as well as harder-to-find items like lamb, veal, bison, venison, rabbit and goat. McGonigle’s, which is run today by Bill’s son Mike, also ships steaks across the country. McGonigle’s sells everything you need to build your own competition barbecue set-up, including a variety of rubs, sauces, marinades, wood chips, hardwood and tools. McGonigle’s is also a full-service grocery store, making it a one-stop shop for tailgating, camping or picnic outings. If you’re hungry, hit up the deli for a sandwich or barbecue treat that you can enjoy at one of the picnic tables outside. I recommend the Smoker Daily Specials, including the cheese burger deluxe (Monday through Wednesday) or the Burnt Ends Sandwich (Thursday through Saturday).

McGonigle’s is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. More info can be found at mcgonigles.com. A little farther south, Fritz’s Meat & Superior Sausage Company, at 10326 State Line, more than lives up to its name, with offerings including a cheddarwurst, jalapeno cheddarwurst, andouille, spicy polish sausage and bratwurst, as well as seasonal specialties. Sausages are sold ready-to-eat during lunch hours for just $2.50, or can be purchased by the pound. Deli sandwiches include the Bette Rogers (barbecue brisket, ham and bacon), half chicken, sausage burnt ends, or sliced meats and cheeses of your choosing. Hot lunches are served every day starting at 11 a.m., while cold deli sandwiches are available any time. Fritz’s started out in 1927 at 39th Street, and relocated to its current location in 1969. The oldest smokehouse in town, Fritz’s is a good spot to pick up a Thanksgiving turkey or holiday ham, and will also custom smoke meat or fish for $1.50 per pound. In addition to its full-service meat counter, Fritz’s other specialties include peppered beef jerky, corn beef, salmon fillets, hickory smoked pepper bacon and locally raised bison sticks. A special counter in the back is reserved for cheeses produced in Missouri, Kansas and across the Midwest. Visit Fritz’s between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, or online at fritzskcmeats.com.

While my praise for the quality of the products is anything but objective, the ribeye steak has also impressed the judges at the American Royal, who awarded it the Grain-Finished Reserve Champion prize the past several years. In addition to the beef, which is raised on the family ranch an hour south in Williamsburg, Bichelmeyer’s offers several specialties that reflect the neighborhood’s Hispanic character. Over a half-dozen varieties of street tacos are sold on Saturdays, along with fresh pork tamales sold by the dozen. Tailgaters will want to check out the wide variety of sausage, including bratwurst, barbecue sausage, hot garlic knockwurst, Polish and Italian. Bichelmeyer Meats is open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and can be found online at bichelmeyermeatskc.com.

origins is that it never excluded people based on race or gender,” Gray-Little said. “This gives people an opportunity... to reinforce and rededicate ourselves to the goals.” Today, KU’s Lawrence campus has more than 230 buildings and is abuzz with construction. It’s also abuzz with people — some 25,000 students and 10,000 faculty and staffers learning, researching, writing and creating. Inside this special KU edition of the JournalWorld, read about what’s happening at KU today while also looking back at where it started 150 years ago.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little

6 QUESTIONS WITH THE CHANCELLOR By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle recently sat down with the Journal-World to talk about KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress last year and goals for the upcoming academic year. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we asked her. What were KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest achievements over the past year? There were many, the chancellor said. Here are five: l Enrollment: Many of KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s achievements were milestones tied to longerterm initiatives. Enrollment is one. Last year marked the third year in a row enrollment went up after several previous years of decline, Gray-Little said. l Student awards: 20142015 was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;banner yearâ&#x20AC;? for students getting national and international awards, Gray-Little said. One of the more unique notifications involved the chancellor calling Kyrgyzstan via Skype to personally tell junior Ashlie Koehn, who was studying there, that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been named a 2015 Harry S. Truman Scholar and could receive up to $30,000 for graduate study. l Salina medical school: The KU Medical School campus in Salina graduated its first class of students â&#x20AC;&#x201D; eight. The smallest four-

year medical education site in the country, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aimed at students looking to practice in rural areas. Gray-Little said the next five or six years will reveal whether the initiative is working and graduates are indeed staying in rural areas. lÂ Foundation professors: As of this summer KU had hired nine of a goal of 12 Foundation Distinguished Professors. l APLU designation: In June, KU was named to the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities 2015 class of Innovation and Economic Prosperity Universities, an honor for universities deemed to be making an economic impact. How important is private funding becoming to KU? KU Endowment meeting the $1.2 billion fundraising goal for its Far Above campaign, which will continue into 2016, was another key achievement of the 20142015 school year, Gray-Little said. State funding has not been â&#x20AC;&#x153;as strong as it has in the past,â&#x20AC;? she said. Although she does not want to see private giving become a substitute for state funding, she said, donations are important to KU. Among other things, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re helping construct new buildings and fund scholarships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donors allow us to do things we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do otherwise, or allow students to

to redesign more courses. That includes increasing â&#x20AC;&#x153;flippedâ&#x20AC;? classes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where students review lecture material at home, then discuss and take on related problems in class â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and â&#x20AC;&#x153;blendedâ&#x20AC;? classes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where some coursework is completed online and some inperson. Another key goal is preparing KU Medical Center for a Comprehensive Cancer Center designation from the National Institutes of Health, the application for which is hoped to be filed in 2016. The designation is a step higher than the National Cancer Institute designation KU received in 2012. What do you see as KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest challenge this year? Understanding public opinion about higher education, regionally and across the country, and better advocating for it. Study after study shows economic benefits to individuals, regions and the whole country, Gray-Little said, yet funding higher education at the level it has been in the past has been a challenge, including student and faculty research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To think that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too costly is short-term thinking,â&#x20AC;? the chancellor said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; KU reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

HOPEFUL BEGINNINGS ————

Two recent books chronicle KU’s history

‘Broadside’ marks sesquicentennial with reflection by one of university’s first students

By Peter Hancock

By Sara Shepherd

As Kansas University celebrates its 150th anniversary this year, two new books on the shelves chronicle the storied and often fascinating history of the state’s flagship university. For the casual reader, “KU 150,” by Monroe Dodd (Kansas City Star Books), is a coffee table book full of historic photos and vignettes that trace KU’s roots back to the days before statehood, when early planning for the school got underway, and that first semester in 1866. A more analytical look can be found in the newer book on the shelf, “Transforming the University of Kansas: A History, 19652015,” (University Press of Kansas) which examines that turbulent period from several angles, including the university’s rise as a major research institution, the role that student activism and protests have played in its governance, and the often difficult political relationship KU has had with various governors and the Kansas Legislature. “Transforming the University of Kansas” follows in the footsteps of Clifford S. Griffin’s 1975 book, “The University of Kansas: A History,” which chronicled KU’s first 100 years. Eight different faculty members from a variety of disciplines contributed chapters to the new book, which was co-edited by education and courtesy history professor John Rury and associate history professor Kim Cary Warren. “It was a time of upheaval,” Rury said of the early part of that era. “There were protests and sit-ins in Strong Hall regarding student rights. There were antiwar protests. We had the February Sisters that came along later in 1972 and took over the East Asian Studies building to demand day care and a number of other things.” A chapter by American Studies professor emeritus Bill Tuttle describes how student activism has continued to be a major part of KU’s history, from the civil rights and Vietnam War era of the 1960s and 1970s, through the anti-apartheid movement in the 1970s and 1980s, to today’s activism focusing on sexual assault and the safety of women on campus. Out of that activism, Rury said, grew a tradition of students taking an active and leading role in university governance. It was also during that time that KU rose in the

“I was reminded of that first day of the University ... when I enrolled as a student at North College. On that morning I went out early into the dewy pasture to catch my pony for the 3-mile ride into town. “It was a bright and beautiful morning with a hint of autumn coolness in the air. ... No one, I am sure, ever climbed Mt. Oread with higher hopes than were mine on that September morning.” A work of art commissioned to commemorate Kansas University’s sesquicentennial features not an announcement by a chancellor or proclamation from a government official. Instead designers chose this, a personal reflection from a single starry-eyed student ascending the hill in 1866, to signify something much bigger — the very beginnings of KU. KU Sesquicentennial Committee members who designed the artwork said the passage, to them, represented the university’s raison d’être: providing opportunity to students. “It was talking about one person’s experience rather than talking about a grand plan, or a political event, or something so public,” said KU design lecturer Linda Talleur, a letterpress expert, who designed the artwork along with KU design professor Patrick Dooley, who specializes in typography. “This is a very private reaction to this opportunity.” The passage comes from a 1926 issue of The Graduate Magazine in which Savage (Susan Savage Alford, by then) recalls the morning for an article entitled “K. U. Days — In the Beginning: A Story of the Foundation Days 60 Years Ago Told by One of First Students.” The sesquicentennial artwork her words appear in is not a painting or a sculpture. It’s a combination of illustration and written notice called a broadside. Historically, broadsides were posted publicly to communicate messages, and probably the most famous broadside Americans would recognize is the Declaration of Independence, said Liz Kowalchuk, associate professor in KU’s visual art department and chairwoman of the Sesquicen-

THE WORK OF ART COMMISSIONED TO COMMEMORATE KU’S SESQUICENTENNIAL features quotes from a student reflecting on the morning she enrolled at the university, in 1866. The artwork is a combination of illustration and text called a broadside, commonly created to mark important events. The ink illustration is by Barry Moser. tennial Committee. In the art world, creating letterpress-printed broadsides has become a tradition to mark important events, Kowalchuk said. “The work is considered to be a work of art, but it is to commemorate a special occasion,” she said. When Kowalchuk became chairwoman of the KU 150 committee, she said, “I immediately thought that an occasion like this should be commemorated with a broadside.” The KU sesquicentennial broadside features a black ink illustration by artist Barry Moser, lauded Massachusetts illustrator and printmaker. Talleur said while KU has many skilled artists, the committee was concerned partiality would be a problem in choosing one from a talented group

of people. Also, she said, Moser is “the master” of the type of illustration they sought. “He has kind of a way of making something historical come alive and not look like a dusty history book,” Dooley said. “It seemed up his alley.” At the top of the broadside perches Old North College, KU’s first and only building at the time, located near 11th and Louisiana streets where Corbin and GSP residence halls are now. A young woman on a pony with a windblown tail trots up toward the building over a grassy expanse. In the center, Savage’s quotes are printed along with an illustration of her face, replicated from an old photograph. On either side of the text are symbols of Kansas, a meadowlark and a sun-

flower. At the bottom, this inscription along with the KU 150 logo: “The founders of the University of Kansas recognized the importance of educational opportunities for both men and women. KU has been open to all genders and races since the beginning.” Prints will be distributed by the university but won’t be for sale. There will be 500 limited-edition letterpress prints of the broadside created, to be distributed at the chancellor’s discretion. For the offset edition, more than 2,000 prints will be made and distributed at various university events celebrating the sesquicentennial. — KU reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

ranks of major research universities in the U.S., an achievement that Rury attributed largely to the work of the late former Chancellor Robert Hemenway, who died in July. The lighter look at the university found in Dodd’s “KU 150” includes a wealth of historic photos and vignettes describing campus life and major events from the earliest days of the university to the present. Dodd, a KU graduate, said there have been many academic books about KU’s history, and many more about its sports legends, but there were few “popular histories” aimed at readers who just want to learn more about the school in an entertaining way. He said one of his favorite pictures is of Massachusetts Street in the 1860s, when the school was just being built. “It looks like a town that’s not quite ready for a big-time college. There were cows and horses in the streets,” he said. But perhaps the most memorable, he said, is a 1970 photo of former Chancellor Larry Chalmers, taken at Memorial Stadium in the aftermath of an antiwar riot on campus that left the Kansas Union in ashes. The photo was taken after a mass assembly a few days later where students had just opted by voice vote to effectively end the semester early and spend the final weeks in “alternative” classes focusing on the Vietnam War, civil rights and student activism. “That picture pretty much sums up Larry Chalmers’ day,” Dodd said. “Chalmers came under fire from a lot of sides. Students and the county leftists thought he didn’t go far enough; conservatives in state government thought he was too permissive. And he was just caught in the middle.” “KU 150” is available at the KU Bookstore, in public libraries and through Barnes and Noble’s online catalog. — Peter Hancock can be reached at phancock@ljworld.com or 354-4222.

KU jumps into online education KU GETS MORE MOBILE ————

University expanding outdoor wireless Internet access By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Kansas University’s Information Technology department is pushing the boundaries with one of its latest projects — expanding wireless Internet access outdoors. In the 2014-2015 school year, KU IT completed its project extending wireless Internet access to the large majority of KU’s main campus, KU IT’s director of external affairs, David Day, said. Students, faculty and staff can now log in to KU’s Internet from Sunnyside Avenue on the south side of campus to as far north as Joseph R. Pearson Hall near 11th Street and West Campus Road. Day said the project, started in May 2012, was created to enable KU students and employees “to work where and when they want” and support the academic environment in an increasingly mobile world. On average, each student brings about 3.1 devices with them to college, according to a KU IT study. “The lifestyle of mobility really is an expectation for this generation of students,” Day said. “It’s no fun sitting inside a computer lab on a beautiful fall day. Now students can get their creative juices flowing outdoors.” Prior to 2012, Internet was available in most campus buildings, though outdoor access was limited. But KU’s Chief Information Officer Bob Lim said adapting to new technology is nothing new to the university. “Higher education has always been at the forefront of mobile technol-

Technology has made that possible.” Though KU IT wanted to support mobility, Lim said the department wanted to ensure that even students who don’t bring their own devices to school can access technology. That’s why KU IT continues to offer technology like computer labs, and students can even check out laptops if needed. “We need to be sure we support and enable success for everybody,” Lim said. “We still have a lot of people who don’t have computers with education becoming more and more expensive.” Another recent KU IT implementation is the free offering of Skype for Business to each KU student, faculty and staff member. Day said Skype for Business has been downloaded to all university-owned computers and is available for free to students as part of a licensing agreement with Microsoft. The program allows users to conduct virtual webcam meetings, make phone calls through a

computer, instant message other users and more. Day said Skype for Business is a great tool for young students, who studies indicate are less inclined to pick up the phone. Lim said the program will allows students to do many things with less hassle. For example, instead of going to a professor’s office for help, a student could attend a professor’s “virtual office hours” using the program. And forget the trouble of organizing a meeting for multiple people on a group project — Skype for Business lets students video chat with multiple classmates at a time from anywhere with Internet access. Lim said implementing programs like Skype for Business and extended wireless Internet is essential to enabling success for busy students. “We can’t assume students only go to class; they have lives, jobs and children. Let’s not limit our students to campus,” Lim said. “We want to make sure our students have it easier.” – Reporter Caitlin Doornbos can be reached at 813-7146 or cvdoornbos@ljworld.com.

Kansas University is embracing the online higher education revolution. Beginning this fall, students will be able to take enough online classes to complete a Bachelor of General Studies degree from the KU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences without setting foot on campus, said Paul Atchley, associate dean for the College’s new online and professional education program. The School of Business will launch an online MBA program, and KU’s School of Education will offer 14 masters and certificate programs, said Sara Thomas Rosen, KU’s senior vice provost for academic affairs. In addition, on-campus students will be able to take a larger variety of online classes to achieve a bachelor of arts or sciences degree, which Atchley calls a hybridized curriculum. And as an added bonus, students who dropped out of college still needing just a handful of classes will be given a chance to take online classes and finish their degrees. In short, there’s an increasing number of online options for differing situations, with even more options being added this year. “Online can be an effective way to teach,” Atchley said. “The curriculum is flexible and can be tailored to a variety of students with a variety of interests and needs based on their previous education background.” The BGS program is a degree completion program. Students generally have about 65 credit

hours already, Atchley said. The program targets millennials born between 1977 and 1997 who are expected to change jobs on average 20 times over the course of their careers. “The kind of things we teach in a degree of liberal arts and sciences are these very flexible skills that will translate to any task that you are given,” Atchley said. Many colleges are moving to offering online classes to students. One of them, Arizona State University, as part of its 2015 mission and goals plans to enroll 100,000 online students. Atchley said 50 students are currently enrolled in KU’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences online program. He expects that number to grow, but KU’s goal will not be as high as ASU. “We are going to be as large as we can be and still remain true to our mission,” he said. “We are the flagship university of the state. In my opinion and the opinion of many of my colleagues that size (100,000 online students) takes away from those other missions the university has.” The pool of available students just in Kansas is large, Atchley said. At a recent continuing education conference in Manhattan, a speaker said there are more than 900,000 students with high school degrees who have some college or no college, Atchley said. “There is a lot of room for us to serve the state and others,” Atchley said. Rosen said KU is “marketing coast-to-coast” but many students are coming from the Midwest region, and there is clustering around the Interstate 35 corridor. “This is about staying

relevant but mission-centric,” Rosen said. “It’s about access to higher education for students who might not be able to have access to higher education.” The length of the courses that KU offers online are shorter. Campus classes are usually 16 weeks; online courses are eight weeks. The online programs can offer five to six semesters a year, on campus there are three semesters a year. “When we started building these programs, we noticed there were literally hundreds of students that left the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences with four or fewer classes to complete because life happened,” Atchley said. “They have to work their education around that.” KU also is offering a new program called Plus 12 for students who didn’t quite finish their degree, with a four-class sequence online to complete the degree for a cost of about $3,000. One of those four classes is a careers class. KU is attempting to locate about 300 students, which is no easy task, Atchley said. “A lot of the work this next year is going to be essentially ‘Rockford Files,’ trying to go find these students wherever they are and tell them, ‘look we have this great program to help you complete your degree,’” Atchley said. “I just really hate to see those students kind of get left out in the cold because they have invested literally thousands and thousands of dollars and lots and lots of time.” — Reporter Karen Dillon can be reached at kdillon@ljworld.com or 382-7162.

COMMON BOOK HIGHLIGHTS HEMINGWAY By Rochelle Valverde

COMMON BOOK EVENTS

Twitter: @RochelleVerde

This year’s selection for Kansas University’s Common Book, Ernest Hemingway’s “A Farewell to Arms,” was chosen for its connection to the region and campus events, said Howard Graham, associate director for academic programs in KU’s Office of First-Year Experience. “A Farewell to Arms” takes place in Italy during World War I. The semiautobiographical novel tells the story of an American ambulance driver working on the Italian front and his relationship with an English nurse. Graham said in addition to the merits of the writing, the book complements the KU WWI Cen-

Graham acknowledged that “A Farewell to Arms” has been criticized for the prominence of alcohol and its portrayal of women, but said those

topics serve as opportunities for discussion. “We want to have conversations about those criticisms,” he said. “To be productive and to help the campus grow.” Book discussions will begin across campus once first-year students arrive in August. A variety of common book programming will continue throughout the academic year, beginning with a “marathon reading” of “A Farewell to Arms” from 8 to 9 p.m. Aug. 28 at Nunemaker Hall and a lecture by recently retired KU English Professor James Carothers, noted Hemingway scholar, from 5 to 7 p.m. Sept. 9 at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. This is the fourth year for the KU Common Book program, coordi-

nated by the Office of First-Year Experience. After advertising for nominations, a committee of faculty, staff and students selects each year’s Common Book. Copies are given to instructors who want to use it in their classes, and all freshmen, transfer and international students get copies to read over the summer. Graham said the program has three goals: to build community, create a shared experience and encourage intellectual engagement. “It’s about bringing people together and getting them to talk,” he said. “And helping create programming where people can learn and grow.” — Reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314.

Commemorative diplomas going out to all sesquicentennial grads By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

This year’s Kansas University graduates will get not just one but two of those hallowed pieces of paper proving they completed their studies. The first will be the usual sealed official diploma. The second will be a special sesquicentennial commemorative diploma — featuring not just the graduate’s name and degree but also signatures of all 17 KU chancellors, as a reminder of the many other students who passed through KU over the course of 150 years. “It’s a nice piece of history,” said Brian McDow, senior associate univer-

sity registrar. “It’s so unique and interesting to have the full depth of the university up until today represented on one document.” Summer 2015, fall 2015 and spring 2016 graduates will get a commemorative diploma at no cost. Past KU graduates will be able to buy one, printed with their name and degree earned. The registrar’s office has a process in place to verify degrees before printing the special diplomas for alumni, McDow said. The cost is $50, and ordering information is available online at registrar.ku.edu. The commemorative diploma’s oldest signature is that of R.W. Oli-

A RARE GLIMPSE INTO KU HISTORY Exhibition highlights lesser-known KU traditions By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

On March 21, 1865, a small group of men commissioned by the Kansas State Legislature met in the “Council Rooms” of a downtown Lawrence building to decide the permanent location of a state university that would eventually be known as Kansas University. The handwritten ledger book documenting that historic event — which also named Rev. Robert W. Oliver as KU’s first chancellor — is among approximately 30 documents, photographs and other artifacts to make it into an upcoming exhibition at KU’s Spencer Research Library. The exhibition, which coincides with the university’s sesquicentennial anniversary and is slated to open Sept. 11, offers a rare glimpse into some of the lesser-known traditions and happenings in KU’s 150-year history as experienced by students. “The idea is to identify early documents and other pieces of KU history through the past 150 years — things that would be interesting to people, that would contrast with how the university is today,” said university archivist Becky Schulte, who graduated from KU herself in 1976. “There will be classroom photos, students on Jayhawk Boulevard and just a wide variety of things that document the student experience.” Over the course of assembling the exhibition, Schulte said she stumbled upon a few interesting tidbits of KU his-

The KU Loop is one such example. From 1910 to 1933, streetcars operated by the Lawrence Street Railway Company transported students across campus. The streetcars, which originally ran up the west side of Mississippi Street before curving across the slope

through Marvin Grove and emerging on top of the hill between Bailey and Strong halls, were apparently a source of several student pranks throughout their 23year tenure at KU — grabbing free rides and minor acts of vandalism were common, according to KUHistory.com. The fun ended in 1933, when buses officially replaced Lawrence’s trolley routes, but evidence of the

KU Loop remains at the university. Streetcar spikes, a token and a piece of the rail will be displayed in the upcoming exhibition, Schulte said. While the exhibition stretches all the way back to the 1800s — a Civil War-era Union lieutenant’s uniform that once belonged to KU’s second chancellor, John Fraser, may make an appearance — more recent events from KU’s past will also be recognized. Schulte often takes her presentations on the road for traveling exhibits with the KU Alumni Association. Wherever she goes across the state, one incident in particular seems to resonate with KU grads of a certain age: the still-unsolved mystery of the 1970 Kansas Union burning. “It was one of those pivotal moments,” recalls Schulte, who was still a few years away from attending KU

when an unknown arsonist set the building on fire. The late 1960s and early 1970s were a period of great political and social unrest at the university — with factors such as the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, as well as increasing outrage over the Vietnam War, playing a major role. It’s an important time in KU’s history that will be honored in the Spencer Research Library’s exhibition, Schulte said. “Talking to people in my age group, that time is still very clear in their minds,” she said. “Those kinds of memories are still strong right now, but in another 20 years, I’ll be 80, and there will be new things that replace that.” — Reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at jhlavacek@ljworld.com or 832-6388.

BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS —————————

New dean of architecture, design and planning has eye on the future as well as aesthetics

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Every morning, Mahesh Daas says he jogs around the Kansas University campus, and he is constantly struck by its aesthetic beauty. “I just cannot stop admiring what an extraordinarily beautiful campus it is,” Daas said. “That’s partly because of its topography; partly because of its historic structures that have defined its core, but also because of the new direction the university is going in the central district and in the west.” You might say Daas, who takes over this year as KU’s new dean of the School of Architecture, Design and Planning, is something of an expert when it comes to the aesthetics of a university campus. That’s the focus of his new book, “Leading with Aesthetics,” which examines the transformation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus during the 1990s under the leadership of its former president, Charles M. Vest. “I’ve looked at and studied many campuses,” Daas said. “I think this is one of the most extraordinary experiences. And I think that should be borne in mind as we think strategically about the direction of the campus. I’m very, shall we say, inspired by some of the new buildings and master planning that has happened here.” Before arriving at KU, Daas chaired the Department of Architecture at Ball State University in Indiana and served two years as its inau-

gural Emerging Media Fellow at the university’s Center for Media Design. During that time he also earned his doctorate in higher education management from the University of Pennsylvania. Although he’s originally from India, Daas said coming to KU is a sort of homecoming for him. He earned his master’s degree in architecture from Kansas State University and served as an assistant visiting professor there in the 1990s. He also spent two years as a design associate at the Kansas City, Mo., firm of Gould Evans Goodman Associates. Now at KU, Daas plans to put many of the concepts and tools of architecture, design and planning to work on the school itself by trying to figure out what its mission should be in a rapidly changing industry, and how it should be laid out and organized to accomplish that mission. Daas succeeds Dean John Gaunt, who led the school

more than 20 years. During that time, the school grew dramatically by, among other things, absorbing the Department of Design from the School of Fine Arts. Although it is headquartered in Marvin Hall, an iconic early-20th century building on Jayhawk Boulevard, the school is now spread across six different buildings in Lawrence alone, and has additional sites at the Kansas City Design Center and the Edwards Campus. “Although the programs began here a hundred years ago as architecture programs, and then it became a department and a school, now we are substantially different in the sense that we have three departments — architecture, design and planning,” he said. “Design was added six years ago. That has transformed in many ways our operations, identity and all of that. So there is some level of distribution — we might even call it fragmentation — because

of this growth and accretion of the programs,” he said. Daas said his first goal is to understand what he calls “the DNA of this place.” “This is where we are looking into and asking questions of identity, the intellectual legacy that the various departments have had,” he said. “The next question is to be able to understand, what is the world we are operating in today?” he said. “This is not what it was when I came to Kansas 25 years ago. So how do we now educate students differently? How do we connect with the communities, industries and professions differently? What does globalization mean to us? What is the role of technologies? And what are the kinds of environmental changes and challenges that we must take into account in what we do?” Daas said it’s important for the school to do that now, in light of how much the industry has changed since the Great Recession hit seven

years ago. Because that recession was driven by a crash in the real estate market, it had a profound impact on the business of architecture, planning and design. And he said that is driving changes in how schools of architecture train students. “It is not the world before, where we think we are preparing them to work in a corporate environment only,” he said. “How can we, instead of just looking for a job, create jobs? So we are collaborating with the business school and the engineering school through the start-up initiative where our students and their students come together.” And Daas said he can’t think of a better place to do that than at KU. “We have a role to play,” he said. “And that is what is important to realize. We have a changed role, but it is a very significant role of innovation.” — Reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at phancock@ljworld.com or (785) 354-4222.

of Veterinary Medicine. His career first began shifting from research to administration after 9/11, when he was involved in preparing a large-scale risk assessment at the University of Wisconsin, which has a nuclear reactor in the middle of campus and where the vet school dealt with a number of potentially dangerous agents. In addition to funding challenges, research continues to become increasingly more collaborative and complex, Tracy said. Single investigators have given way to teams of people, and isolated fields to interdisciplinary work. “As we try to address more complicated questions ... no one person in no one field can solve these problems,” Tracy said. Case in point: At KU, Tracy oversees 10 research centers, two state surveys, two affiliated centers and multiple core research laboratories across the Lawrence campus, according to KU. He’s also president of the KU Center for Research Inc., the nonprofit foundation that administers research grants, and shares responsibility for KU Innovation and Collaboration, the university’s bicampus technology commercialization office. His tenured academic appointment is in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology in the KU Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo School of Pharmacy. Tracy said although hard science research is usually more lucrative, humanities research — which, essentially, seeks to explain what it means to be human — is critical to society and thus the university, too. For continued success in research, KU must keep hiring the best faculty it can afford, Tracy said.

‘IT’S THE SCHOLARLY OUTPUT THAT REALLY COUNTS’ By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

James Tracy is taking over as Kansas University’s vice chancellor for research at a time when it’s as much an “arms race” as ever, he says. It’s a race to attract the most funding, even as federal research dollars dwindle and competition for them increases, he said. Excellent faculty is important.

“It’s about talent,” Tracy said. “The really top universities, the best of the best, get there because of the people they have.” Tracy started as vice chancellor of research in April. He succeeds Steve Warren, who held the position for seven years before stepping down in 2014 to return to full-time teaching and research, according to KU. Tracy previously was doing basi-

HUSBAND-WIFE DUO PERSONIFY DISTINGUISHED PROFESSORS By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

People leave their home countries and travel to others — including ours — for various reasons. Those big moves often have dire economic and health consequences. Two of Kansas University’s new Foundation Distinguished Professors, husband-wife duo Victor Agadjanian and Cecilia Menjívar, specialize in studying human migration. That includes researching who’s moving where, why and what problems they face once they arrive. “The ultimate objective is not just to collect knowledge, but to see what (solutions) need to be implemented in terms of reducing the risks for both migrants and their family members,” Agadjanian said. “That’s how I see the ultimate relevance and importance of the research that we do, is to help people deal with those risks.” Agadjanian and Menjívar, both distinguished professors at Arizona State University,

KU Foundation Distinguished Professors KU received state funds for its Foundation Distinguished Professor initiative, which aims to recruit 12 “eminent” scholars to support the university’s four strategic initiative themes. Nine have been hired so far, with the first being announced in January 2014. The professors and their departments are: l Victor Agadjanian, sociology l Beth Bailey, history l Chris Beard, ecology and evolutionary biology l James Bever, ecology and evolutionary biology (January 2016) l Cecilia Menjívar, sociology l Dennis O’Rourke, anthropology (January 2016) l William Picking, pharmaceutical chemistry l David Roediger, American studies and history l Christophe Royon, physics and astronomy (January 2016) will start in KU’s department of sociology this semester. Their hires are part of a larger effort by KU to grow the school’s existing faculty strengths in the area of human migration, immigration and human trafficking, including leading the creation of a new center focused on the subject. Although both professors’ research specialties fall under

that umbrella, they work in different areas. Agadjanian focuses primarily on people moving to and fro in other parts of the world, particularly sub-Saharan Africa and the former Soviet Union. His research seeks to identify social and economic consequences, access to employment and resources, and the “decision-making ability” of

women who migrate without their partners, he said. Another topic he focuses on is health consequences of migration, especially sexual and reproductive health. Agadjanian noted that especially in places like Africa, leaving small villages for big cities — especially when partners are separated — leads to increased risk for HIV, AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. Menjívar’s research focuses primarily on people immigrating to the United States from the Latin American countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, she said. Another line of her research involves violence and gender violence in those countries.

Unfortunately, “these two interests are very much related,” she said. Menjívar said she hoped her research would contribute to knowledge about a part of the world from which the United State is integrating people. “It’s very important for us to know about these other regions.” KU touts both Agadjanian and Menjívar as “prolific” authors — Menjívar has written six books — with involvement in various professional organizations and boards. Agadjanian, a native of Moscow, and Menjívar, born in El Salvador, met during graduate school in the United States, at a conference, and have been married almost 25 years. They have an 18-year-old son. After completing a crosscountry migration of their own this summer, Agadjanian said, “both of us are genuinely excited about this move and want to be part of the community.” — KU reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

MARCHING BAND IS ALL IN THE FAMILY By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

The year was 1910 and Austrian immigrant Herman Fruhauf was working as a tailor at a department store in downtown Wichita. A customer approached him and asked him if he made band uniforms. He didn’t, but when his answer came, it was yes. “That’s how it started,” his great-great grandson Landon Fruhauf explained. “And the rest is history.” Landon Fruhauf and his brother Evan Fruhauf have spent this summer, like summers past, working in the family’s band uniform factory in Wichita. Since Herman, they are the fifth generation to do so. And come the start of the upcoming school year, both Evan and

Landon will don KU’s new band uniforms as members of the Kansas University marching band, the Marching Jayhawks, made in that same factory.

“It’s really special to be making the uniform that I’m going to be wearing next year,” said Evan, who, like his brother, has been working full time in the factory over the summer. Evan, an incoming freshman at KU, and Landon, a junior, were also in their high school marching band together and both play the trumpet. “It’s just another thing we’ll be doing as a family,” Landon said of being in the Marching Jayhawks together, noting that he’s excited Evan will be in the same town and at the same school as him. Thanks to KU Endowment’s successful Tradition Marches On campaign, which raised $300,000 to purchase 270 uniforms, the Marching Jayhawks are getting new uniforms this fall. The band had been

wearing the previous uniforms, which featured black pants, since 2004. The new uniforms have a more traditional look: blue with red torsos and capes, tuxedo stripes on the pants and soldier-like details on the coats. Both Fruhauf brothers said their favorite thing about being in the band is the music itself. Their grandfather also played the trumpet, which gives the instrument special significance, they said. “I just love music and playing songs that are popular now, or old jazz songs my grandfather listened to and played,” Landon said. For Evan as well, music provides a connection to his grandfather, and he sees the trumpet as something that’s passed down through the family. “I never actually heard him play,” Evan said. “He

had a stroke, so he wasn’t really capable of playing when I remember him. My dad sees it as he’s playing through us. It’s like a connection through him that I really didn’t have.” In his years as part of the band, Landon said it’s taught him the importance of punctuality and discipline, noting that you have to learn the moves and memorize the music in a short period of time. “Just to get it right and make sure you’re doing your part, because each person is a part of the entire band puzzle,” Landon explained. Evan agrees that adding marching to playing the trumpet makes it more challenging. “It’s really physical, difficult and challenging. I enjoy challenging myself so I’m excited to see where it’s going to take

me,” Evan said. Although Evan said he has the option of going into the family business, it’s up in the air. He is majoring in human biology, and said he would like to eventually go to medical school. “I’m just going to see where the next few years take me,” Evan said. After graduating from KU, Landon, who is a management and leadership major in the KU School of Business, said he plans to continue working for the family business, and one day will take it over from his father and uncle. “It’s a very special thing and I’m honored to have the opportunity to be the fifth generation of a company,” he said. — Reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314.

In new position, vice provost tasked with building ‘climate of diversity’ By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

For many incoming students at Kansas University, especially those who come from smaller rural communities, their freshman year can be their first experience being exposed to instructors and fellow students who come from different countries, cultures or races. They shouldn’t feel alone. Living and working in a culturally diverse environment can be challenging. But university officials say it can also

be richly rewarding, and making it work right is the only way to ensure that all students, and all KU em- Thomas ployees, are afforded equal opportunities. That’s why, last year, KU hired E. Nathan Thomas III for the newly created post of vice provost for diversity and equity. “It’s important because of the economic impact that diversity can have on

the state,” Thomas said. “We have to think about the demographic shift that’s happening in the state. It’s our job to recruit, graduate and equip students so that employers and businesses will continue to come to Kansas, and so that students can work with a diverse group of employees.” Thomas came to KU from the University of South Florida Polytechnic, where he was the founding director of campus diversity. He is also a co-founder and partner at Invictus Human Capital Management, a Floridabased consulting firm

that helps other organizations improve their performance through diversity, equity and inclusion. At KU, Thomas said one of his top priorities is building what he calls “a climate around diversity.” “Climate deals with having a healthy culture,” he said. “You think about, do people feel valued in their workspace.” Thomas said that’s a concept that the university needs to apply to faculty and staff, as well as students. This year, he said the university will conduct a climate survey among those groups that will in-

clude measuring thoughts on diversity at KU. Data collected from that survey will be used to identify issues that need to be addressed. During a recent interview, though, Thomas acknowledged that KU could do better, especially when it comes to recruiting minority students from urban high schools in Kansas City, Topeka and Wichita. To accomplish that, he said, KU needs to reach out more to those students early in their high school careers to encourage them to take the college prep courses they’ll need.

He said KU needs to make sure it has support systems in place to help those students make the transition to college life once they arrive on campus. According to Kansas Board of Regents statistics, the student body at KU in 2014 was about 71 percent white, 6 percent Hispanic or Latino, 4 percent black and 4 percent Asian. Roughly 10 percent were nonresident alien, or international, students. — Reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.

UNIVERSITY ARCHIVIST’S WORK BRINGS PAST TO PRESENT By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

For Kansas University archivist Becky Schulte, the millions of photographs, documents and artifacts making up the KU archives can serve varied purposes — but there’s one that stands out. “It serves as the memory of the university,” Schulte said. Schulte, who has been the University Archivist since 2003, is the third person to hold the position at KU — her uncle, John Nugent, was the first. Schulte said her career with the KU libraries began in

1973, when as a 19-year-old she worked as a student assistant. “I’d always loved libraries, so working in a library was always a thing I wanted to do,” she said. Schulte graduated from KU in 1976 with a degree in humanities and received an M.A. in library science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1982. Schulte previously worked as head of reader services at KU Spencer Research Library and the assistant curator of the Kansas Collection. The KU archives, established in 1969, is the repository for records and artifacts

that document the history of KU. Making connections from the current day to the past is one of the important functions of the archives, Schulte said. The archives include seven collections: athletics, campus buildings, chancellors, faculty, photographs, records management and student life. Of all the material, Schulte said looking at the old photographs of the students is the most enjoyable for her. Those photographs make you realize that there is a shared university experience that spans the

decades, she said. “It’s eye-opening,” Schulte added. “It’s really interesting to see the similarities of students today and students 125 years ago.” For instance, in the early 1900’s, Schulte said it was popular for students to make scrapbooks, some of which are held in the archives. “They’re like today’s Facebook pages,” she said. Schulte also enjoys the archives’ unique artifacts and doing research, be it searching out reference information for the labeling of items, or helping others to research and lo-

cate materials. “I like mysteries and finding things,” Schulte said, noting that some people will come in with just the name of an ancestor, wanting to find out more about them. As part of the library system, Schulte said, the archives serve students and faculty from all departments. “I really feel like we’re the heart of the University — almost everyone here touches the library,” Schulte said. — Reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314.

STUDENT ARTIST CREATES GIFTS FROM LAST ELM By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS UNIVERSITY STUDENT ELLIOT YOHN used wood from the last elm tree removed for the Jayhawk Boulevard reconstruction project to create 57 unique bowls commemorating the university’s 150th anniversary.

The rings of the old elm tree create distinct, fingerprint-like swirls in each of the 57 bowls that Kansas University graduate Elliott Yohn made. “Not every bowl is the exact same — they have a uniqueness,” he said. Each bowl was chiseled from a 6-inch cube of wood cut from an elm tree that once stood on Jayhawk Boulevard. The elm was the last tree removed for the Jayhawk Boulevard reconstruction project, said Charles Persinger, director of university ceremonies and special events. The bowls are being made as part of KU’s sesquicentennial celebration. The elm’s transformation was a slow one — the wood was stored for six months, milled into cubes, then cured for about a year before it was given to the art and design department, Persinger said. And once the wood was in Yohn’s hands, it was a more than two-hour process per bowl as each cube was slowly shaped, sanded and then finished, Yohn said. Working as he had time, Yohn, who was paid for the project, said it took him about 150 hours over the span of four months to complete all the bowls. It was a great feeling to see all the bowls complete, Yohn said. “It was awesome being able to say I was the one that made them,” he said. Yohn, who finished the bowls in January, graduated in May with a bachelor’s degree in industrial design, but said before the bowl project that it had been since high school since he’d used a lathe,

the tool he used to make the bowls. Each cube was attached to the lathe, located in the common shop of the Art and Design Building, which spun it while Yohn chiseled out the shape, his favorite step in the process. “It’s fun — it’s very meditative,” he said. Yohn, who said he spends a lot of time wood working, said making the bowls offered a contrast to a lot of the work he usually does making furniture, which typically involves working with exact dimensions. Unlike a table or a chair, Yohn said, the individual shaping of the bowls gives a more artistic element to the project. “They all have a handmade quality that way,” Yohn explained. Elm trees once lined the sides of Jayhawk Boulevard, forming an arching canopy over the street. But by the 1970s, Dutch elm disease had wiped out most of them. The ongoing Jayhawk Boulevard reconstruction project is not only replacing pavement and sidewalks along the route; plans also call for replanting trees and restoring the canopy. The bowls from the last old elm, which were engraved with the KU 150 logo after carving, will be given to donors in conjunction with the KU 150 celebration. Yohn said the best part about the gift is that the bowls are from a tree from Jayhawk Boulevard. “It’s like giving them a piece of the history of KU,” he said. — Reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314.

A NEW HELPING HAND ——————

Recently hired dean of social welfare wants to elevate school, help Kansas communities By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Kansas University’s School of Social Welfare will be under new leadership this year. Paul Richard Smokowski officially took over as dean of the school July 1, succeeding Mary Ellen Kondrat who retired after eight years in the post. “My short-term goal is to continue the successes of the school,” he said in a recent interview. “It’s very strong in its ranking nationally. We rank in the top 20 percent of social work programs nationwide, so I want to continue that excellence.” Smokowski comes to KU from Arizona State University where he served as Distinguished Foundation Professor in Child and Adolescent Resilience. Before that, he spent 16 years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he and his wife, Martica Bacallao, were both research professors. In fact, Bacallao is also joining KU’s social welfare faculty this year. “We were hired together. You could say as a team,” Smokowski said. “We have worked together for 15 years doing research and teaching in the same area. We both have doctorates in social welfare. We met while doing an internship at St. Elizabeth’s hospital in Washington, D.C.” Over the course of his career, Smokowski has published more than 75 articles and two book chapters in the field of social work, and his research teams have received more than $10 million in federal funding. Smokowski said that’s something else he wants to continue at KU. “I want to support faculty by trying to find collaborations and resources so we can work with businesses and

PAUL SMOKOWSKI became dean of the Kansas University School of Social Welfare on July 1. communities,” he said. “One thing we do very well is, we address social needs with prevention and intervention programming. So what we do is serving communities across Kansas with innovative programs, and then we evaluate those programs to make sure we are finding positive effects, and if not, we would be changing the focus.” Smokowski arrives at KU during a time of transition, both for the school and the social welfare industry in general. One of the challenges facing the school, as well as all other schools, is the impending retirement of faculty members who’ve been part of

the program for many years. That will involve grooming new faculty from within the ranks of graduate students, and recruiting new faculty from outside. “This is happening all over. It’s just the developmental stage that we have with the baby-boom generation,” he said. At the same time, he said, the business of social work is facing challenges in an era of reduced public funding. He said that’s true throughout the profession, but particularly in state and local social welfare agencies that work with children, families, and in the health care industry. “The social needs are still

there, or sometimes growing, depending on the economy,” he said. “But we are in an era of declining resources. So we continue to train and work closely with the state. “We have a number of close contracts where we work with the state both on training individuals who are working in mental health centers and child welfare and residential facilities for the aging, and we also do evaluations to make sure those programs are providing the most efficient bang for the buck, if you will. Like many agencies, we are trying to do as much or more with less, in terms of the resources that are available.” Smokowski said his long-

term goals are to raise the school’s stature and visibility nationally, and to build on the success of its four research centers. “We have four very strong centers — one on aging and disability, one on mental health, one on children and families, and another on assets and education, helping poor families how to figure out how to save for college,” he said. “Those centers have been doing very well serving the state and garnering national attention, and I want to help that to continue in the long run.” — Peter Hancock can be reached at (785) 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.

HONORS PROGRAM AWARDS BOOST OUT-OF-CLASS EXPERIENCES “

By McKenna Harford

Twitter: @McKennaHarford

Working in a biomedical lab in India, providing health care to an underserved area in Panama and managing community development projects in Kansas City are just a few of the projects that Kansas University Honors Opportunity Award winners took part in this year. This year, 160 students won awards to use on a variety of out-of-classroom experiences, such as internships, study abroad and service projects. The honors program encourages these experiences as a way to supplement students’ education, according to Brian Young, director of the Uni-

versity Honors Program. The awards range from approximately $200 to $1,000 depending on the intended use. For example, study abroad requests often receive more than local service projects. The goal of offering the financial support needed for these experiences is that they will add value to students’ education, Young said. Jake Doerr, a senior, said his experience with the Coro Kansas City Internship in Public Affairs allowed him to gain valuable experience in his field and make connections that will help in the future. “It’s a really great experience, especially since I’m going into the workforce in a year.

It’s a really great experience, especially since I’m going into the workforce in a year. It’ll position me well.”

— Jake Doerr, Kansas University senior It’ll position me well,” Doerr said. Ashley Farris, who graduated in May, said her study abroad trip to India couldn’t have happened without the money she received to help cover travel costs. “For India, I had to book my plane tickets before I actually found out if I had the money

to buy them, so I had to ask my parents for the money,” Farris said. “But then I found out I got the money, and we all breathed a sigh of relief.” Young said the value of those experiences extends beyond the participating student. “When our students study abroad or they engage in research, they bring that experience back with them into the classroom, into their housing units, into their conversations with their friends and peers, and that’s enriching for the entire university,” Young said. While Leigh Loving, who graduated in May, was grateful that her award was able to pay for the majority of her trip to

Panama, she said the best part was the bonds she built with other KU students. “Fifty-five students went and we were all strangers, but at the end we were all friends,” she said. Young hopes to extend the program in the future so that more students can benefit and larger awards can be given. Currently the program gives out around $100,000 each year, Young said. “I’d like to build (the program) to where we’re able to provide three or four hundred students each year with two or three thousand dollars,” he said. “I think at that point we’re making a substantial impact on a large number of students.”

NEANDERTHALS: NOT SO UNSOPHISTICATED By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Some Neanderthals were more sophisticated than we thought, a study that includes a Kansas University researcher has found. Eight eagle talons have marks and polishing that researchers say indicate they were once part of a piece of jewelry, said David Frayer, KU professor emeritus of anthropology who was part of the study. “The idea that the Neanderthals were making ornaments to glam themselves up goes against notions of them as unsophisticated,” Frayer said. “This is the kind of discovery that really changes our perceptions of Neanderthals and has a big impact on the field.” Findings from the study were published this spring in an article, co-authored by Frayer, in the journal PLOS ONE. The eight talons were found in present-day Croatia and are approximately 130,000 years old, Frayer said. While it is unknown whether the talons were a necklace or a bracelet, they were attached to one another, resulting in polishing of the bones from where they rubbed together. The cut marks on the talons also have smooth edges — a sign that there was some kind of fiber binding that held them together, Frayer said. In addition to the signs of manipulations,

Kansas University professor emeritus David Frayer holds a cast of a Neanderthal skull. one type of talon was repeated three times, so there were at least three different birds used, Frayer said. “Imagine trying to catch even just one eagle,” Frayer said, explaining that suggests the talons weren’t just gathered, but likely hunted. “It tells us something about the sophistication of Neanderthals, that they were able to accomplish this,” he said. The talons were discovered more than 100 years ago from a single level at a site that was originally excavated between 1899 and 1905. Frayer said one of the things that surprised him about the discovery is the signs of manipulations had been missed for more than 100 years

— a fact that he attributes to perceptions of Neanderthals as less advanced than and distinct from humans. “I’ve always thought that they were one of us, but everybody had their mind made up that Neanderthal was a separate species,” Frayer said. For Frayer, the research into these ornaments continues. He will be going back to Croatia in January 2016 to investigate further, trying to determine what the binding fiber is made of and to confirm any use of pigments to dye the talons.

LEADING BY EXAMPLE

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Jessie Pringle and Zach George, the 2015-2016 Kansas University student body president and vice president, want to use their positions to advocate for students on campus, but also to make sure student voices are heard beyond the hill as well. Pringle, a senior from Chanute majoring in history, said her interest in political history in particular has helped her see how policies are important to everybody, whether they be at the local or state level. Pringle said she hopes to use her role as president to advocate for students when it comes to policies that affect their lives. “I think being in student government is a really great opportunity to be able to mold your own experience, and to help other students mold their experi-

ence here at KU,” she said. Pringle and George, of the Advance KU coalition, won Student Senate elections on the KU campus in April. During the campaign, Advance KU promoted three platform priorities: access, community and sustainability. Pringle said when it comes to being part of the community, it’s important for students to be civically engaged, particularly when it comes to the Kansas Legislature. To that end, one of Pringle’s goals for the upcoming school year is to increase the student presence in the Statehouse. “We are talking about state funding and polices that affect campus life,” Pringle said. “I think that when decisions are being made, they should be made with the knowledge of how students feel about policies.” George, a senior from Ottawa, has similar goals, and also hopes to get stu-

dents involved with city government. George said he thinks KU students are integral to the identity of the city, and he wants to make sure there is collaboration between the two. “This year we are hoping to work with the city to make sure students are part of the conversation when it comes to city issues,” George said, noting the Ninth Street corridor project in East Lawrence as one such example. For both Pringle and George, their senior year positions as student body president and vice president won’t be the end of their time in public service. Pringle, who after graduation from KU hopes to attend law school, said her end goal is to work in the public sector. “I think I’m really driven by the desire to understand policy and how laws and government affect our everyday lives,” she said, noting she has a particular interest in higher education. This year, Pringle is chairwoman of the Kansas Board of Regents Students’ Advisory Committee, the group of state university student body presidents that advises the board on formulation of policy decisions on student affairs and identifying student concerns. George, who is double majoring in political science and public administration with a minor in public service, said he would like to work in the public service realm as well, but what that will look like is yet to be determined. “I would like to work in some capacity where I feel like I’m causing positive impacts in the lives of people, and work toward bettering my community — whether that be at the federal, state or local level,” George said. — Reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at rvalverde@ljworld.com or 832-6314.

GOLDWATER SCHOLARSHIP

BIOLOGY AND LAW COLLIDE WINNER WORKS ON A SMALL IN AWARD WINNER’S WORK SCALE — A VERY SMALL SCALE

By McKenna Harford

Twitter: @McKennaHarford

Kansas University Earl B. Shurtz Research Professor Andrew Torrance has degrees in biology, genetics and law. He has taught at Harvard and MIT, and even advised President Barack Obama during his candidacy. He is truly a modern-day Torrance renaissance man. “I really like dealing with cutting-edge science and the legal issues it raises,” Torrance said. This spring, Torrance was recognized by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little for his talents, as one of four professors to receive the University Scholarly Achievement Award last year. The awards are presented to mid-career professors for their research in one of four areas: arts and humanities; clinical sciences; science, technology and mathematics; and social science and professional programs, the category in which Torrance was a winner. “The award recognizes professors enhancing the national and international reputation of the university, and it promotes scholarship and research,” university spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said. Torrance, who has been at KU since 2005, has research extending across many fields, including patent laws,

innovation, experimental research, integrating biology into legal policy and even de-extinction. A main research focus of his is biolaw, or the intersection of biology with law, which is a new and relatively unexplored field. Torrance has been interested in the applications of biological findings in law and policy for the majority of his career. Torrance cites DNA testing as one example of how using biology can improve the quality of the legal system and how it works. “There’s all kinds of incredible insights, I think, that biology can offer to the law and can be used to craft better law, more rational law, fairer law,” he said. His efforts to raise awareness of biolaw has gotten it recognized as a field by the Association of American Law Schools. He believes that “nothing in the law makes sense except in the light of biology” and that the law should shift to rely on science. “I believe that biology is at the heart of understanding ourselves, society, policy, government, law and even social welfare in general,” Torrance said. “Biology allows you to understand what our motives are, what people really think, why they do things, what the real damage is. So when you start to add biology to

law you get differences in how the law should be applied.” Torrance said there are always new intersections of biology and law that “test the limits of each field,” which he hopes to continue researching. He added that he felt very lucky to be able to research the strange and wide variety of topics that have interested him. He credits KU’s environment in helping foster his research and grow him as a scholar. “I think KU trusts its scholars to find the right questions for research and to figure out the right approaches to answer those questions,” he said. “I’ve really appreciated the independence they’ve allowed me.” However, research is only part of the job. Torrance also teaches several classes including intellectual property law, biodiversity law and patent law. One of his favorite parts of his job is getting students involved in his research questions and learning from them. “Part of what makes it really fun to teach is that if you’re an active scholar who is fortunate enough to get exposed to new issues, you can take those issues back to the classroom and tell your students about them and use them as tools that help your students learn how to think about law, how to analyze law and how to do law,” Torrance said.

In a cramped lab full of beakers, chemicals and one very large converting rig, senior Bryce Tappan works with the organic molecule azulene, which he hopes will help change the future of electronics. Tappan is one of Kansas University’s latest winners of the prestigious Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship, which funds his work in nanotechnology as part of chemistry professor Mikhail Bary- Tappan bin’s lab. “The area of interest in nanotechnology is a huge field of research right now, but it’s relatively new,” Tappan said. “We are one of the few research groups in the U.S. researching azulene.” The prestigious national Goldwater Scholarships, awarded to students working in STEM (or science, technology, engineering and math) fields, provide up to $7,500 per year to help cover tuition, fees, books and board. KU senior Jessica van Loben Sels was also named a Goldwater scholar this year for her work in microbiology, studying the herpes simplex virus with molecular biosciences associate professor David Davido. Daniel Rhodes, physics major, was recognized with an honorable mention. “It’s a recognition that KU has really great undergraduate research in the STEM fields and that there are faculty mem-

bers that encourage students to go through the process,” Anne Wallen, assistant director of national scholarships and fellowships in the honors program, said. Tappan applied at the suggestion of Barybin, who has had five students, including Tappan, win Goldwater Scholarships. The painstaking process of drafting and redrafting essays for the application was all worth it when Tappan received the news last spring that he had won. “I was really happy. It happened more or less in the middle of the semester, and it was kind of a pick-me-up,” he said. Nanotechnology involves studying and manipulating matter on a very tiny scale — the “nanoscale,” at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, according to the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative website. Matter such as gases, liquids and solids can exhibit different properties at such a small scale, and thus be used in novel ways. Tappan is working with his lab group to study compounds for molecular nanowires, which would help shrink technology and make it more efficient. So far the research is “fundamental,” Tappan said, and the group is creating and characterizing the compounds before researching its nanotechnology potential. His goal is to utilize the azulene compound for nanotech-

“

We are one of the few research groups in the U.S. researching azulene.” — Bryce Tappan, Goldwater scholar nology, which would help decrease energy use. This semester, Tappan hopes to take his research to the next level and build on the fundamental work he has done this summer. “I think studying how they work and how they behave really allows you to make a connection as to how they could be used,” Tappan said. Tappan said the support of his friends, professors and lab group have helped him find what he loves, and now the scholarship gives him the opportunity to focus more on his research. “The scholarship money helps take the pressure off,” Tappan said. “It really allows me to pour my time into what I think is most important without having to work too much outside the lab.” He hopes this opportunity will allow him to gain experience in his field and bring him closer to his goal of researching and creating technologies related to helping energy efficiency. “I’m really interested in developing technologies and materials to improve the efficiency of the way that we use energy and help renewable energy sources take off. That’s my ultimate goal with chemistry,” he said.

the one that put his foot down and said that getting the NCI designation was the top priority for the university, and that made a huge difference, there’s no question about it.” The chancellor also oversaw a resurgence in KU’s athletics department with his hiring of Lew Perkins as athletic director, whose KU career later ended in controversy with a tickets scandal in 2010. During Hemenway’s tenure, KU won a national championship in men’s basketball and the football team won the Orange Bowl. “The general support he gave to athletics enabled us to compete on a national scale,” said Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony. Without Hemenway, the KU men’s basketball team might not be what it is today, as he played a key role in the hiring of current coach Bill Self, said Budig.

Robert Hemenway | 1941-2015

Teacher and scholar Through it all, Hemenway remained “first and foremost an educator,” Zach said of his father, whom he described as having an “approachable and friendly” style as chancellor. Robert Hemenway’s own father, a teacher and principal, spent every summer break for 22 years working to receive a doctorate degree from the University of Nebraska. It must’ve “had a big impact” on him as a kid, Zach said, because by 25, Robert Hemenway had already earned his Ph.D. in English from Kent State University. “He enjoyed being around students and he knew the university was there for students, and he always kept that foremost in his mind. Keeping students first was Bob Hemenway,” said David Shulenburger, who served as provost under Hemenway. “It was a privilege to work with him, a privilege to know him.”

REMEMBERING A COMMITTED LEADER, SCHOLAR AND TEACHER By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

Former Kansas University chancellor Robert Hemenway, who led KU to new heights in enrollment and research during his 14-year tenure, died last month at age 73. Hemenway, KU’s 16th chancellor, died from complications of Parkinson’s disease July 31 in a Lenexa nursing home, with his large family gathered at his side. In addition to his legacy at KU, the former English professor also leaves behind a wife, Leah, and eight children. Recalling his father, Zach Hemenway said the chancellor had a “passion” for education that spanned a 55-year career in both teaching and administrative work. “He really instilled that in all of us — the value of learning and being curious and challenging yourself,” said Zach, who along with two of his siblings went on to attend KU during his father’s tenure.

Legacy at KU Hemenway saw enrollment at the university’s Lawrence, Edwards and KU Medical Center campuses increase from 27,639 at the beginning of his tenure in 1995 to 30,102 students after his retirement in 2009. KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said she was “deeply saddened” to learn of Hemenway’s death. “Chancellor Hemenway was a visionary leader who guided the University of Kansas to unprecedented heights and successes during his time here,” GrayLittle said. “Under his leadership, the university made tremendous strides in how we educate students, conduct research, and serve the people of Kansas. I know I can speak for the entire KU community in saying we owe him a debt of gratitude, for the work he did paved the way for so much of the great work we’re doing today. Most importantly, Bob was a wonderful man who loved his job, loved the people around him, and loved this place — and he was

loved in return.” Former KU Chancellor Gene Budig said Hemenway “will be remembered by countless individuals as one who worked hard to advance the cause of the University of Kansas.” “He was especially effective in bringing about needed change at the medical center. He also was an outstanding fundraiser. Working with the KU Endowment Association, he raised many dollars in support of faculty, professorships and student scholarships,” Budig said. During his time at KU, Hemenway led efforts to separate the KU Hospital and KU Medical Center — including separating the hospital from direct state oversight — and setting a goal to achieve designation as a National Cancer Institute facility, which KU’s Cancer Center received in 2012. “He was absolutely critical to some of the initiatives that we’ve had over the last decade,” said Roy Jensen, director of the KU Cancer Center. “He was

‘Chancellor Bob’ In his 30s, Hemenway traveled across the country — logging miles on his trusty Volkswagen bus — conducting research for the seminal 1977 “Zora Neale Hurston: A Literary Biography.” Mary Burg, Hemenway’s longtime executive assistant and friend, said Hemenway’s book on Hurston is widely credited with creating a renewed interest in Hurston’s work and her nowclassic novel, “Their Eyes Were Watching God.” But “Chancellor Bob” wouldn’t have taken the credit, Burg said. “Bob had a very towering intellect, but his demeanor was very disarming,” said Burg, who worked for Hemenway for 19 years, first at the University of Kentucky-Lexington and later following him to KU. “He was not at all pompous or arrogant — oh, the opposite of that, really.” When Hemenway arrived in Lexington, he sold that same beat-up Volkswagen bus to a student. Asking price: “about $10,” Burg said, another reflection of his generosity and Midwestern unaffectedness. “He didn’t come driving a Lincoln Town Car,” she said. “He came into town driving that bus.” Despite his many obligations as chancellor, Hemenway always put family first, Burg said. Hemenway frequently brought his large family to basketball games — his famous straw hat in tow — and along with his wife, Leah, enjoyed hosting events at his home on the KU campus. Everyone was welcome there, Burg said. “The door to The Outlook was always open,” she said. Jensen, director of the KU Cancer Center, agreed. “For someone in his position, he had one of the kindest demeanors, and there was just not a mean bone in his body,” he said. “He was just one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life.” — Editor’s note: This story first appeared in the Aug. 2, 2015, edition of the Journal-World.

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

Work in progress: A meeting area for students to hang out in Capitol Federal Hall, Kansas University’s new School of Business building on Naismith Drive

At least one daily occurrence in Summerfield Hall will be a thing of the past when the Kansas University School of Business moves into its new home next year. “Between classes, the students disappear,” James Guthrie, associate dean of academic affairs, said of the school’s current home. It will be difficult to disappear in the new Capitol Federal Hall, and that’s by design. The $70.5 million building is taking shape on Naismith Drive, across the street from Allen Fieldhouse. Groundbreaking was in late 2013, and construction is scheduled for completion in April. Classes will begin there in fall 2016, or possibly the preceding summer. The 166,500-square-foot Capitol Federal Hall is four stories high and constructed in an “H” shape. Exterior walls are largely glass, and in the center of the “H” is a large atrium — 7,700 square feet — where everyone is supposed to come together. “We wanted to intentionally pull all the student activity onto the first floor, so when you walk in you feel the energy,” said Kelly Watson Muther, School of Business chief of staff. The atrium will feature a coffee

AT THE NEW CAPITOL FEDERAL HALL bar and spaces for students to sit or gather with others between classes, Muther said. Especially with a push for interdisciplinary work, the school wants the new building to be welcoming and enticing to students from other majors, too. The atrium ceiling extends up all four stories, with balconies overlooking it. Even those balconies are designed so students won’t disappear — instead of being stacked on top of each other in perfect alignment, they’re staggered so one could look down and see people on the balcony below. Other features of the building include a 350-seat auditorium. Guthrie said while the biggest business lecture classes will remain in Budig Hall, smaller lecture courses as well as speakers and events all will happen in the new auditorium. The building’s glass walls, while allowing views into the building, also provide some nice views looking out. The ‘H’ shape is strategically angled so windows on the building’s west side enjoy views of historic Allen Fieldhouse across the street. That includes several conference-style classrooms and the

dean’s office. Also just off the dean’s suite is a small outdoor patio surrounded by a green roof. This summer, huge cranes and a team of about 90 construction workers have been hard at work on the site. When fall classes begin, the north wing should have a roof and windows, with drywall installation beginning, according to Tim Ockinga of JE Dunn Construction, the building’s project manager. The south wing will be a few steps behind that. Another building highlight noted by Ockinga: The polished concrete floor of the atrium will feature a 24-foot inlaid Jayhawk. Capitol Federal Hall will be the largest academic facility ever erected at KU entirely through private support, according to KU. The Capitol Federal Foundation of Topeka provided the lead gift of $20 million for the building’s construction.

initially announced plans. Plans include an activity center featuring retail dining, cafe seating, a training table setting for KU men’s and women’s basketball teams and a catered event space. DeBruce should open sometime this winter, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for public affairs. “We can’t think of a better place to house Naismith’s original rules than right here at KU,” Marchiony said. “And we think this building will serve as a real testament to not only James Naismith and the rules, but also to Phog Allen and others who were so instrumental in the history of Kansas basketball.”

McCarthy Hall

A lot of people are calling this “the basketball dorm.” However, KU reminds, the new building’s name is McCarthy Hall, and only half the residents in it will be basketball players. The $11.6 million building was initially hoped to open in July, according to KU Student Housing. It’s now scheduled to open in the fall. Residents will be the men’s basketball scholarship athletes, plus about 20 single, non-traditional, upperclass or transfer students with at least 30 credit hours, according to Housing. “As such, it is intended to provide an environment where mature, responsible students already acclimated to the rigors of college studies can succeed.”

The building features twoand four-person apartments with private bedrooms, living and dining rooms and full kitchens. The building has recreation and media rooms, and — fittingly — a halfcourt basketball court. “The McCarthy apartments will provide an important component for our basketball program and for other outstanding students at KU,” Marchiony said. “We have what we think is the best venue in college basketball, and we think now we’ll have the best housing.”

Capitol Federal Hall and opens for classes this

Construction continues on the KU School of Business’ $70 million new home on Naismith Drive, across the street from Allen Fieldhouse. The 166,500-squarefoot building should be finished in spring 2016 and will hold its first classes in the summer or fall.

ENGINEERED TO BE STATE-OF-THE-ART By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

From the entryway to state-of-the-art classrooms to open hallway nooks, the new Kansas University School of Engineering building was constructed for collaboration. “Both the instruction and the practice of engineering in the real world are going that way,” engineering dean Michael Branicky said. “We’re trying to reflect that.” The new Learned Engineering Expansion Project Phase 2 building, LEEP2 for short, is the latest and largest in a burst of updates to KU’s engineering facilities. The $65 million, 110,100-square-foot building at 1536 W. 15th St. — now the centerpiece of KU’s engineering complex — is connected to Learned Hall, Spahr Library, Eaton Hall and the Measurement, Materials and Sustainable Environment Center (M2SEC). It’s part of an overarching engineering expansion project that saw the completion of M2SEC in 2012 and the Structural Testing and Student Projects Facility on West Campus in fall 2014. LEEP2 construction also included major renovations to Spahr Library. Construction finished this summer, and LEEP2 will be open for its first classes this semester. The new building was needed to accommodate more than 60 percent growth in student population and the addition of 30 new faculty members to work with those students, according to the engineering school. Primary funding is legislative appropriations through the state’s University Engineering Initiative Act, Branicky said. Daylight infuses the building through a number of glass walls and “light wells” — ver-

tical tunnels extending from windows on the roof all the way to the basement level. The building’s entryway is home to tables and chairs for groups, a coffee and snack bar and all the engineering school’s student services offices such as those for career placement, recruitment, retention, advising and scholarship. “It’s like one-stop shopping,” Branicky said. The building features six large “active learning” classrooms, Branicky said. Instead of spending class time listening to a lecture, the idea — also called the “flipped classroom” concept — is for students to read materials at home, then collaboratively discuss and solve problems in class. The active learning classrooms feature group desks with monitors and microphones, capable of projecting students’ own work onto other groups’ screens. The six active learning classrooms vary in size from 60-person to 160-person, Branicky said. “It’s more like a banquet room than it is a presentation room,” he said. “You can have that same group feel.” Another lecture classroom, designed for aerospace engineering, features seats with two computer monitors apiece. The building also includes teaching and faculty labs with layouts that are flexible. Throughout the building, open-air nooks in the halls are furnished with a handful of roller chairs each. Students often spill out of class without having finished discussions, Branicky said, and such spaces provide a place for them to continue the conversation. They’ll also be good for pre-class prep work, and even waiting in the wings for job interviews with visiting professionals, common at the engineering school.

Other departments are expected to use the “active learning” classrooms, and collaborative spaces are hoped to bring students of other disciplines into the mix, too.

RENOVATIONS WON’T STOP NEW BUILDING IN WORKS FOR SPENCER’S ART TOURS EARTH, ENERGY RESEARCH By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

The Spencer Museum may be closed for renovations, but if you’re looking for a curated tour, all you need is a cellphone. The museum’s KU Campus Sculpture Tour, “An Ear for Art,” will guide you through more than a dozen outdoor sculptures. Listen to the history of the each sculpture and its artist, and find out interesting facts about each piece of outdoor art on campus. Here are a few highlights from the tour: l Moses: The 10-foot bronze figure kneeling in front of Smith Hall was made in 1982 by Elden C. Tefft. Together with the stained glass window, the sculpture is a 3-D representation of the university seal. Learn about Tefft and what the imagery represents for KU. l Cranes: The 7-foot copper sculpture of four cranes intertwined is called “Korean Cranes Rising.” The sculpture is a Korean War Memorial, made in 2005 by Jon Havener. Learn how the four cranes in the sculpture represent the Korean conflict. l Tai chi Figure: The approximately 10-by-16foot angular figure practicing the Chinese martial art of tai chi is certainly eye-catching. It was made by Ju Ming in 1985. Find out why it’s in front of the law building. “An Ear for Art” is presented by the Spencer Museum of Art with support from the Shumaker Family Foundation, Mark and Lauren Booth and the

The newest major building project to embark on Kansas University’s main campus is the Earth, Energy and Environment Center, being constructed adjacent to Lindley Hall. Construction work just began in July on the 130,000-square-foot, $82 million building — roughly half funded by donations — that will house teaching, research and collaborative spaces, said Robert Goldstein, distinguished professor of geology and associate dean of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, in KU’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The EEEC aims to build on KU’s strengths in energy and environment research and education by integrating students and faculty working in the subjects, Goldstein said.

Under its roof will be faculty from areas including the Department of Geology, Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, the Tertiary Oil Recovery Program and the Department of Physics and Astronomy. “Research in earth, energy and environment will take a giant leap forward because of the interdisciplinary nature of the program,” Goldstein said. Plans for the building call for two towers rising from a connected base, Goldstein said. The north tower, or building, will be called Ritchie Hall, after KU alumni Scott and Carol Ritchie of Wichita, who have “contributed greatly of their time, ideas and resources,” Goldstein said. The south building will be Slawson Hall, thanks to a generous gift from the Slawson family, Goldstein said. The building’s

Goldstein said the EEEC is considered an “anchor point” for Innovation Way. Part of KU’s Campus Master Plan, the Innovation Way initiative calls for linking science facilities campuswide to foster interdisciplinary teaching and research, according to the master plan. “It is the first major facility of its kind on the campus,” Goldstein said of the EEEC. “It is truly interdisciplinary in its research. Its teaching will follow an engaged-learning model. And it will move our campus forward rapidly as a national leader in the integration of earth, energy and environment to make a difference for the people of Kansas.”

SWARTHOUT RECITAL HALL REBORN By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

Kylie Smith remembers Monday, May 19, 2014, very well. It was the day after Kansas University’s Class of 2014 walked through the Campanile and down into Memorial Stadium to celebrate commencement, and Smith had returned to work that morning at Murphy Hall to find a cluster of dingy theater seats sitting outside the building. Smith, the assistant to the dean for advancement at the KU School of Music, quickly snapped a picture and shared it on Facebook. “And, just like that the Swarthout renovation has begun! Farewell old blue seats!” the caption read, eliciting comments ranging from the nostalgic to the gleefully cynical. While one person asked how he could “snag” a few of the seats, others proclaimed “good riddance” and advised the School of Music to “burn them.” For nearly 57 years, the seats were housed in Swarthout Recital Hall, the School of Music’s primary academic performance space. Since opening in 1957, Swarthout has hosted more than a million patrons and staged more than 300 performances every year, making it the most-used concert venue in the state. Despite its continual use, Swarthout had never been remodeled in all that time. So when crews began a $2.5 million renovation on the space last spring, the old seats were the first to go. “It was by far the most-liked thing we had on social media all year, because everybody recognized them,” Smith says of the teal-colored, velvet-upholstered chairs, which had the unfortunate tendency of squeaking and sometimes falling apart during performances in their later years. “It’s a weird thing, but people have their favorite seats when they come in here over and over again.” But on a Thursday morning in March, Smith and her fellow School of Music staffers had just finished removing the plastic coverings from Swarthout’s 273 freshly installed seats. It was the last major addition to the 10-month project, which pulled the structure back to its cinder-block walls, constructing an entirely new performance space with acoustical treatments, audio, lighting and recording and webcasting capabilities. The venue also received a green room and a brand-new

Swarthout Recital Hall in March Steinway piano. Now, with renovations complete, Swarthout may just be “the most beautiful small concert hall in all the Midwest,” says Robert Walzel, dean of the School of Music. The venue reopened with a commemorative concert series earlier this spring. Dozens of alumni, some of whom graduated as far back as 1952, were on hand to christen the brand-new Swarthout stage. That list includes Alan Harris, now a distinguished professor of violoncello at the Eastman School of Music, who played his senior recital at Swarthout two years after it opened. Another alumnus, Charles Couch, owns a high-end lumber company in Oregon. He handpicked and donated the wood for Swarthout’s new floor, and returned to the space to perform with his former professor, Edward Laut, the director of the KU music school’s string division who retired after the spring 2014 semester. The Muriel McBrien Kauffman Foundation’s $1 million gift in December 2013, along with the many “people in Lawrence who are passionate about music and the School of Music,” have made the transformation possible, Walzel says. “With those partners, we’ve been able to put the pieces together,” says Walzel, who remembers visiting Swarthout as a junior-high student while attending the Midwestern Music and Art Camp in the early 1970s. “It’s a special place.”

RESTORING THE PRAIRIE By McKenna Harford Twitter: @McKennaHarford

Down behind Blake Hall, bordered by two asphalt streets and surrounded by a low rock wall, is a small, one-third acre of native prairie, overflowing with tall grass, wildflowers and history. This area is Kansas University’s Prairie Acre, which is virgin prairie that has never been tilled, plowed or shoveled. But the Prairie Acre, a campus landmark since 1932, has been overrun by non-native and invasive plant species. This year, in a project headed by Kelly Kindscher at the Kansas Biological Survey, KU hopes to restore the prairie to its former glory. There have been a few prior attempts at restoring the prairie, but this year’s project hopes to be more sustainable over the long term. “I felt a call to make it all that it was,” Kindscher said. The goal of the restoration project is to return the native species to the prairie, maintain the prairie and, eventually, expand it. Over the summer, students in the environmental studies department found that non-native and invasive species have spread in the prairie; these will have to be removed for the restoration. Volunteers will begin removing those plants and collecting seeds of native plants from other prairies this fall, and hope to begin planting in the spring. KU’s Center for Sustainability, a partner in the project, has started recruiting volunteers to restore the land, raising awareness about the project and fundraising as well. “One of the things that

‘The Dean’ Throughout the fundraising campaign, which launched shortly after Walzel’s arrival as dean in 2010, School of Music officials made it clear to prospective donors that the name of the hall would remain the same. “The fact that we were able to preserve the Swarthout name, I think keeps a consistency for our alumni and our students in the future,” he says. “When you come to KU, you know your capstone performance will be in Swarthout Recital Hall, as it has been for five generations of KU graduates in the last 58 years.” Donald Swarthout, the hall’s namesake, served as KU’s dean of Fine Arts from 1923 to 1950. During his recordbreaking tenure at KU, Swarthout established a name for himself as a nationwide leader in musical higher education. In addition to directing the KU Concert and Chamber series and founding the Annual Holiday Vespers concerts, Swarthout was also president of the Music Teachers National Association from 1931 to 1932 as well as four terms beginning in 1944 at the National Association of Schools of Music. After his mandatory retirement from administration, Swarthout remained at KU, as choir director and teaching piano, for five more years before taking a position as visiting professor of piano at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., in 1955. He taught there until 1959, just three

years before his death at age 77. But even in those later years, Swarthout was still “The Dean.” That’s how Elisabeth Hayes remembers her grandfather. “When we were growing up, he was always called The Dean, and I didn’t realize until perhaps when I was a teenager that that wasn’t his name,” says Hayes, who attended the hall’s re-opening festivities in the spring. “In fact, I don’t think anyone called him Donald, except maybe way, way earlier on.” Hayes, who grew up in Washington, D.C., and later majored in art history at American University, only visited Lawrence as a young girl while her grandfather still worked at KU. She remembers her grandparents’ home on Crescent Road, where she, “a city child,” could look out from the garden to see miles and miles of then-undeveloped land. “He loved Lawrence,” Hayes says of Swarthout. “He really was a member of the community.” One of Swarthout’s closest friends was, oddly enough, the legendary KU basketball coach Forrest C. “Phog” Allen. The two were avid golfers and played regularly. They also shared a love of music, Hayes says — Allen “had a very fine piano,” which Swarthout may have helped him pick out. Later, when her grandparents moved to Washington, Hayes developed a closer relationship with The Dean, whom she describes as a “wonderful, kind, intelligent man” with a taste for politics and sophisticated clothes. Hayes, who now serves as executive director of the FACE Foundation in New York City, returned to Lawrence earlier this year to film an interview about her grandfather that was shown during the hall’s re-opening concert. During her trip to Lawrence, she reunited with her niece Emma Hayes, whose late father, Bryant, also graduated from KU. Bryant and Elisabeth’s mother, Evelyn Swarthout Hayes, graduated from the School of Music in 1932 and remained involved with the university throughout her life. “I think he would have been extremely proud and touched,” she says of her grandfather. — Editor’s note: This story was first published in the March 29, 2015, edition of the Journal-World.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS Ryan Chilcoat and Cody Barger record vegetation measurements in the Prairie Acre in June 2015. Pictured in back are students Will Hartenstein, left, and Drew Cleary. An effort to restore the acre is underway. our office does well is to look at these projects and bring different people and departments from across campus together to really look at some of the challenges in a more interdisciplinary way,” Jeff Severin, director for the Center for Sustainability, said. Project supporters believe it’s important to restore the prairie because of the history, ecological significance and the learning opportunities the prairie provides. According to the National Park Service, the prairie is one of the most endangered ecosystems on the planet. Bob Hagen, a professor of environmental studies, said that means the Prairie Acre provides students a rare hands-on experience. “We now recognize that the whole campus can be part of the classroom,” Hagen said. “Having someplace so close where you can learn about biodiversity and ecology is a real asset.” The restoration also hopes to preserve the history behind the prairie, including the tie to Kan-

sas’ pioneer days. Severin plans to use some fundraising money to place signs informing students and the community of the significance of the land. As the project proceeds, environmental studies classes will continue to be involved in maintaining the prairie. Supporters of the project also hope the interest from the community and departments across campus will help keep the project sustainable. “We’re hoping to put it back on the map,” Kindscher said. Courtney Masterson, a graduate student and project member, said the art and architecture departments are two of the departments interested in utilizing the space. She added that the scenery will be there for anyone to enjoy. “I love the idea of having that escape on campus,” Masterson said. “(The prairie) is truly a peaceful place for me, and I look forward to that being something students can enjoy as well.”

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA gives remarks Jan. 22 at Anschutz Pavilion on the Kansas University campus. President Obama visited Lawrence to outline some of his themes delivered during his State of the Union address.

Presidential visit to KU enthralled community By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

When Barack Obama spoke at Kansas University on Jan. 22, he became the first sitting U.S. president to visit KU in 103 years. The last was William Howard Taft in 1911. Over and over, KU students and community members called attending Obama’s speech a once-in-alifetime opportunity. Pulling it off was a massive effort by the university. “President Obama’s visit was as big of an undertaking as there is,” said Charlie

Persinger, director of university ceremonies and special events. “Essentially, we had to pause nearly all of our everyday operations and, in less than a week, plan an event that would normally take weeks or months to organize.” The Secret Service kept security tight and the White House kept most planned details of Obama’s visit secret. Surprises included a brief visit with the KU basketball team just prior to his speech — although someone had enough notice to make sure the president was presented an official KU basketball jer-

Obama warmed up the estimated 7,000-plus crowd inside Anschutz Sports Pavilion by reminding them, “I’m a Kansas guy” before launching into his speech about middleclass economics, emphasizing initiatives he’d pushed two days earlier in his State of the Union address.

Issues aside, Obama’s starpower alone was a big draw. The day that tickets were made available, KU law student Brian Vanorsby showed up on campus at 4 a.m. He was second in line for the ticket window, which opened five hours later. “He’s the president,” Vanorsby said from the line. “I can say I was in the same room as him — a big room, but the same nonetheless.” In the crowd at Anschutz, Saleh Alameri, a KU freshman from United Arab Emirates, said, “You don’t always get a chance to see the president. ... This is a golden

opportunity for me.” University spokesman Joe Monaco said the energy on campus prior to Obama’s arrival was “incredible” and the event itself “electric.” “The entire nation was watching the University of Kansas at that moment,” Monaco said. “To hear the president of the United States yell, ‘Rock Chalk!’ and then have thousands of people yell back, ‘Jayhawk!’ I mean, it’s one of those moments that gives you goose bumps.” — KU reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY MEETS SENIOR HOUSING By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Smart toilets, fall-sensing cameras, automated medicine dispensers, gait analysis detectors — this isn’t your typical senior housing unit. As so many things evolve to keep up with the latest technology, so is Kansas University’s New Cities Initiative. The New Cities Housing Lab is one of the latest and biggest projects of the New Cities Initiative, an interdisciplinary research project based at KU’s School of Architecture, Design and Planning. It aims to address the “built environment” needs of the country’s aging population. The New Cities Initiative, started in 2010, spurred research, seminars, classes, design studios and talks including the Boomer Futures Think Tank. “It sort of elevated KU as a real player in the field of gerontology,” said Joe Colistra, associate professor of architecture and a lead reseracher with the New Cities Initiative. Founding director and architecture professor Dennis Domer retired from KU last year but remains involved with the initiative. One major project was designing an intergenerational neighborhood, dubbed Campus Village. While plans to physically construct such a community in Lawrence didn’t come to fruition when they reached the city a few years ago, students continue to work on the concept. The Housing Lab project focuses on

“

We’ve begun to translate it into industry. This is really gamechanging for housing.” — Joe Colistra, associate professor of architecture and a lead reseracher with the New Cities Initiative a smaller part of senior living: a single unit. It builds on information gathered over the past few years, Colistra said. “We’ve begun to translate it into industry,” Colistra said. “This is really game-changing for housing.” Features of the Housing Lab unit offer solutions to problems older residents face. KU groups helping to identify those problems include KU Medical Center’s Landon Center on Aging, the KU Gerontology Center and the KU Life Span Institute, Colistra said. Manufacturing companies are hoped to partner and provide needed technology. A few problems and the Housing Lab’s ideas for them: l Research has indicated that in the early stages of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, a patient’s coordination and balance change slightly but not enough to be visible to even a doctor’s eye, Colistra said. Gait analysis cameras connected to computers that analyze patterns could help de-

tect those changes. l Falls have been identified as a leading cause of injury and also death for seniors. Dehydration is a common culprit, Colistra said. A “smart toilet” that automatically tests urine for dehydration could, if detected, alert caregivers to problems or even alert an automatic medication reminder. l Another technology, fall-detecting motion sensors and cameras, could notify caregivers in the case of a fall but also be rewound to help healthcare providers determine what caused the fall and what body parts may be injured from it. l Another very important component of the newfangled devices would be their ability to collect data that KU could use in long-term research, Colistra said. The special housing unit is a ways from becoming reality. For now, KU architecture studio classes are working on the project, Colistra said. Over the next year, they hope to get industrial partners on board and construct a 700-square-foot prototype unit inside the architecture school’s East Hills Construction Innovation Lab. With a model unit, Colistra said, students could test products and design, and — hopefully — eventually get their senior housing solution built and on the market in the real world.

GOT FOOD ALLERGIES? By McKenna Harford Twitter: @McKennaHarford

Christine Ebert has a full plate as the new registered dietician in charge of Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allergies and dietary accommodations program. She will be a liaison between students and dining managers, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be working on new projects, and she has her own goals for the dining program. But Ebert is ready to dig in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love working with people,â&#x20AC;? Ebert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many races and religions and creeds out there and the one thing that unites us all is food, and I just think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so powerful.â&#x20AC;? Ebert has taken over the position from former KU dietician Mary Rondon, who was the face of the campaign to improve studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; awareness of the allergy program. This year, dining services hopes to improve on the program, which has been recognized nationally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve set a reputation

New KU dietician is here to help so we certainly need to maintain, if not grow, that reputation and keep the integrity of the program,â&#x20AC;? Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director of residential dining services, said. Ebert, who got her degree from Kansas State University in nutrition and dietetics, worked in Wichita and at the University of Montana in similar positions prior to becoming the new dietician at KU. Her main focus will be the allergy program, which helps students with special medical or religious diets. Last year 26 students self-reported through the program, which involves a consultation with the dietician and an accommodation plan with the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s respective dining hall, but Ebert said many others simply use KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NetNutrition website and food labels to accommodate their dietary needs. Because she would like more students to self-re-

port and use her as a resource, Ebert will become the face of the awareness campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that there are more than 26 students out there and so we want to make sure that the minute they get on campus, they know about us,â&#x20AC;? Kidwell said. In addition to helping students with allergies and special diets, Ebert has some other goals for improving dining services, specifically through sustainability and local foods. Dining services already has plans to revamp its Better Bites program, which offers healthier entrees with fewer calories and less fat. Ebert hopes to include clean labels and local foods in the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want KU to be the best in the Midwest at sourcing local foods and in their focus on the sustainability,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want other schools to look to KU.â&#x20AC;?

OSHER INSTITUTE READY TO BUILD ON GRANT By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

After receiving a $1 million grant from its national parent organization this spring, Kansas University’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute plans to hold classes in 19 Kansas cities this fall. And while hitting the double digits is admirable, the organization’s director, Jim Peters, said he’d like to see the Osher Institute reach 100 cities across the state in the future. The institute earned the gift from the Bernard Osher Foundation, which has around 120 similar organizations at many different universities across the country, Peters said.

To earn the grant, the institute needed to meet 12 benchmarks involving membership, volunteers and programming, Peters said. Of the other institutes nationwide, “none have done the kind of outreach we’ve tried to do,” Peters said. The grant will also give the institute, which is not currently profitable, a boost toward self sufficiency, Peters said. Currently, the institute relies on university funds, registration fees and donations, but each bit of help is one step closer to financial independence, he said. Founded in 2004, KU’s Osher Institute is one of the University’s Continuing Education programs,

Peters said. The organization focuses on providing short college courses to participants above the age of 50, although anybody can participate. The average student age for the institute is 74 years old, Peters said. The institute’s classes touch on a range of subjects, including history, literature, music and science, to name a few, Peters said. “I tell my professors they won’t see their students reading the newspaper or in the back of the room texting or on their iPads,” he said. “These are very dynamic classes because the students want to be there.” Longtime Osher Institute professor John Mack said he began teach-

ing with the organization with one class a year. Now, that number has grown to eight. Expanding the institute’s reach will yield obvious benefits, Mack said. As his students learn, no matter their age, they enrich their lives and bring that knowledge back to their communities. “All the research has shown that lifelong learning is something that has tremendous benefits for the people who are engaged in it. Psychologically, socially and physically,” he said. — Reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at cswanson@ljworld.com or 832-7144.

BUSINESS CATALYST New program gets ideas off the ground By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Many students come to Kansas University hoping that by the time they graduate, they’ll have the skills to succeed in the business world, and maybe one day even launch their own businesses. But a growing number of KU students are finding out they can accomplish that even before they graduate, with help from a new program called the KU Catalyst that gives students hands-on experience in building a real business from the ground up. “We’re just completing our first year and right now we have seven companies participating, seven new student ventures,” said Wallace Meyer Jr., a lecturer and director of entrepreneurship programs in the School of Business. He expects the program to grow to more than a dozen new ventures by the fall. Meyer said projects that are in the works range from “very hightech” inventions such as radar systems for unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, to a software application to help newbie financial investors navigate the potential risks and rewards of possible investments. Austin Barone, a sports enthusiast and a senior in the business honors program, is one of the few who has already gotten his new venture off the ground. “Just Play” is a product he and a team of others produced that digitizes all the x’s, o’s and arrows of a football playbook into a format that replac-

es the three-ring binders that coaches and quarterbacks are known for carrying around. “It gave me the guidance and support that I needed,” said Barone, whose product is already being used by a number of colleges and high schools in the United States and Canada. “It gave me space I needed to work in. We collaborated with coaches and other individuals. It also gave us the space to formulate ideas and take that next step, if you would, to make this a reality. So it’s really been a huge factor for us.” The Catalyst is a joint venture of the business school and the Bioscience and Technology Business Center, or BTBC. The program operates from the newly expanded wing of the BTBC building on west campus and is expected to move to a new home in the new School of Business building, Capitol Federal Hall, which is scheduled to be constructed by summer 2016. Modeled after other kinds of business “incubator” programs, the Catalyst offers space and computer resources for the young entrepreneurs to develop their ideas. It also pairs students with mentors and potential investors who can help them turn their ideas into reality. Meyer said the program is open to all KU students, not just those in the business school, but there are high standards for being accepted. To be considered, he said, students must have an existing business plan, or “a road map to commercialization.” They

also need to do some initial market research, or “customer validation” of the concept, meaning they need to have talked with dozens of potential customers or users of their product or service who can validate that both the product or service they want to develop and the business model are acceptable. More importantly, Meyer said, students must have a demonstration of commitment to being an entrepreneur. “The reality is, given the mortality rate of new businesses, they have to be able to learn from the experience and be able to apply that to the next iteration,” Meyer said. “Tenacity is important.” Finally, Meyer said, students need to have some of their own “skin in the game.” Although the Catalyst can provide students access to investment capital, he said the studententrepreneurs need to put some of their own money into the project. “For some students, $1,000 is a big deal. For others, it might be more or less,” Meyer said. “It’s not so much the amount, but they have to be willing to put their money where their mouth is because, in exchange, we provide them with an array of resources.” Students interested in the Catalyst program can find more information, and download an application, from the program’s website, catalyst.ku.edu. — Peter Hancock can be reached at 785-354-4222.

EASING THE COST OF BOOKS By McKenna Harford Twitter: @McKennaHarford

In an effort to save money and promote access, Kansas University’s School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures now offers open educational resources for 11 different language programs. The school’s open educational resources — called OERs for short — are free, online textbooks that can be accessed by anyone. The school is excited to be using them in place of traditional textbooks for some language classes. “We’ve made it a priority to showcase what we’ve been doing,” school of languages director Marc Greenberg said. OERs are part of an open access movement that advocates for free online scholarly materials, such as research articles and textbooks. KU has been a leader in the movement, according to Greenberg, and considers its next step to be identifying where the OERs are being used and incorporating more of them. “Right now one of the projects we are doing has to do with open textbooks, and that’s specifically because nationally it’s become recognized as a serious problem for students and a barrier to learning,” said Ada Emmett, head of KU’s Office of Scholarly Communication and Copyright. One goal of OERs is to help ease the burden of rising textbook costs. From 2003 to 2013, textbook prices went up 82 percent, according to a Student Public Interest Research Groups study. The same study showed that high prices stopped students from buying textbooks, even if they thought the textbook would be beneficial to their grades. “Higher education is getting more expensive, public funding is decreasing, and those costs are passed on to parents and students,” Greenberg said. “(Textbooks) contribute a lot to the rapid rise of tuition, and KU is trying to do something about it.” Open access and OERs help the university save money, as well. Academic journal subscriptions cost on average $4.5 million a year, Emmett said. Online publishing helps cut that cost.

“When we turn scholarship into a commodity that someone can make a lot of money from, we cut off access,” Emmett said. “The whole open access movement is trying to fix that problem of cost.” Professors also told Emmett that OERs can enhance the classroom experience through customized learning materials. Online materials can be altered by professors to fit the class so students get materials that match their syllabus. “The big picture of the language school is to really highlight careers and future opportunity for students with language skills, and this helps with that goal,” said Nadia Rhodes, an Arabic lecturer at KU.

In order to grow the number of OERs available, KU has offered incentives, such as small grants, to professors to review textbooks that are already online to see if they could be used in place of traditional books, Emmett said. Emmett shared data from a similar initiative at Kansas State University, which showed significant savings. KState gave $96,000 to professors to create or adapt OERs, which led to savings of $1.1 million for students on textbook costs. Emmett hopes to see savings like that at KU. “This really speaks directly to the bold aspirations and the goals of the university to help students get through their programs quickly and successfully,” Emmett said. She said the next steps are to reach out to stakeholders, including KU’s student senate, professors and administrators, and get people participating in the conversation.

Desperately seeking offense ————

Can Air Raid help Jayhawks rediscover end zone? By Matt Tait

Who will emerge to lead Kansas’ new Air Raid offense? … pages 2-4

mtait@ljworld.com

After watching Todd Reesing and company light up scoreboards and rewrite the Kansas University record book from 2007-09, fans of KU football have seen the Jayhawk offense transform from a steam engine into a side car. During 60 games over five seasons in the post-Mark Mangino era, the Kansas offense has averaged just 18.2 points per game and failed to score more than 10 points in a game a whopping 18 times. That kind of offensive production — or lack thereof — won’t win games in most parts of the country, and the paltry total has not come close to being enough in the wild and crazy Big 12 Conference, where Kansas has won just three times in 44 tries since Mangino was shown the door. Three head coaches and three offensive coordinators called the shots during that stretch of ineptitude, and with the Jayhawks ready to make the transition to No. 4 in both offices this fall, the focus once again falls on whether the Jayhawks can get the offense going. First-year coach David Beaty brought offensive coordinator

offense and hope to spend most of preseason camp fine-tuning it and getting it ready to debut. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a quick look at what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with at each position:

Quarterback Because of a serious knee injury suffered by senior Michael Cummings, junior Montell Cozart enters camp as the lone QB with game experience. Beaty said in mid-July that Cozart had the inside track on winning the starting job, but incoming freshmen Carter Stanley (Vero Beach, Florida) and Ryan Willis (Bishop Miege High) figure at least to give Cozart a push. Stanley is the more mobile of the two, and Willis owns the bigger frame. Both have the tools needed to run the offense, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their lack of experiNick Krug/Journal-World Photo ence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Cozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two seasons unJUNIOR-COLLEGE TRANSFER RUNNING BACK KEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;AUN KINNER (22) MAKES A MOVE der center â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that leave Cozart as the AGAINST White Team safety Frank Seurer Jr. (18) during the Spring Game in this photo likely Week 1 starter. from April 25 at Memorial Stadium. Running back Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top rusher â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dallas product Corey Avery â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was dismissed from the team in the offseason for violating team rules, and the two other returning backs with experience, Taylor Cox and Deâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Andre Mann, have injury concerns. That leaves juco transfer Keâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;aun Kinner, who reported in time for spring football, and true freshman Taylor Martin as newcomers who could carry a huge chunk of the load in the KU backfield this fall. Kinner is the most dynamic of all of KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backs. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not quite at the level of former Jayhawk Tony Pierson, but is bigger and has the same knack for making big plays. Martin, who has

good size, speed and shiftiness, is more of the kind of player who could inherit a featured-back role. Together, they give the Jayhawks a nice 1-2 punch in the backfield, which should help take some of the burden off of Cox and Mann and allow them to ease back into whatever roles they may have.

Wide receiver The top six pass catchers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and eight of the top 11 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from 2014 are gone from the KU offense, leaving the door wide open for a bunch of new receivers to step up. Finding a few that can do so, however, is more of a necessity than an opportunity. Likens said as many as eight or nine

wideouts could be used in any given game, and while KU does have the bodies to throw that many receivers on the field this fall, finding the players who can produce remains one of the biggest concerns. Senior Treâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Parmalee (20 receptions in 25 career games) has the most experience. After that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a host of first- and second-year players vying for time, all of whom bring something a little bit different to the table. Freshmen Chase Harrell, who participated in spring practices, and Jeremiah Booker seem like the most ready first-year players. And secondyear players Darious Crawley, Bobby Hartzog and Derrick Neal could be

Tight end Third-year sophomore Ben Johnson (80 yards on 8 receptions in 12 games in 2014) and Florida transfer Kent Taylor give the Jayhawks versatility and talent at tight end, where the departure of three-year starter Jimmay Mundine leaves a void. Mundine was fantastic during each of the past two seasons, but Johnson, 6-foot5, 234 pounds, seems poised to step into his role as Mr. Reliable, and Taylor, 6-5, 220, brings extreme athleticism and match-up problems to the position. Taylor has not played since the 2012 season, but does bring big-game experience to the huddle, having caught a touchdown against Louisville in the Sugar Bowl that season. Offensive line Up front, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about finding the right pieces to plug in to the right places. And, as with any season and any team, the success of this offense is likely tied to how well and how quickly the Oline can come together. Converted tight end Jordan ShelleySmith and second-year big man Larry Mazyck seem solid at the two tackle spots. That leaves six or seven guys â&#x20AC;&#x201D; returners Keyon Haughton, Bryan Peters, Joe Gibson and Jacob Bragg, along with newcomers Deâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Andre Banks, Jayson Rhodes and Will Smith â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to sort out the final starting spots and add depth to the other positions. O-line coach Zach Yenser is big on putting the five best players on the field and not worrying too much about fitting players into specific positions. And, at this point, the battle at center, where Bragg, Gibson, Haughton and even Banks all figure to get looks, might be one of the most intriguing competitions of camp. Â Â&#x2020; Â?Â? Â&#x2026; Â? Â&#x2C6; Â&#x20AC;Â? Â? Â? Â&#x2020; Â? Â?Â? Â&#x17D; Â&#x20AC; Â? Â&#x160; Â&#x2020; Â&#x20AC;Â? Â? Â&#x2030; Â? Â?Â&#x2020; Â&#x2DC; Â&#x20AC; Â? Â?

Kansas defense full of new faces ————

Senior lineman Goodman vows: ‘That defense hits hard’ because of the talent in front of him, might be the best player in the 2015 recruiting class. While those players figure to give KU a fair shot at getting after the quarterback, the big bodies on the interior might be another story. Graduation and defection took away most of the Jayhawks’ bulk on the inside, leaving only a handful of options at defensive tackle. Senior Kapil Fletcher (6-3, 271) has the size and experience to play inside, and Goodman said Daniel Wise (6-3, 271) was one of the most impressive players not getting much publicity. Junior Tyler Holmes (6-3, 273) has been in the program awhile now and might have matured enough to make a significant jump, while red-shirt freshman D.J. Williams (6-5, 289) has the best pure size of all the tackles on the roster.

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Senior leader Ben Goodman is not promising any specific statistics or accomplishments for the revamped Kansas University defense this fall. But the fifth-year defensive end, who finally is back playing his natural position, is willing to promise one thing. “When they turn that tape on (to watch) the defense, they’re gonna be like, ‘Man, that defense runs to the ball, and that defense hits hard,’” Goodman said. If he’s right, it will be a bunch of new faces doing most of that running and hitting. Except for Goodman (12), Tevin Shaw (8) and T.J. Semke (6), no other KU defenders started more than six games a season ago. Linebacker Courtney Arnick played in all 12 games and started five. Defensive backs Greg Allen and Fish Smithson also played in all 12 games and started three between them. And linebacker Schyler Miles and cornerback Ronnie Davis each played in 10 games but made no starts. Such facts make this year’s group a mostly anonymous defense, but Goodman and the rest of the Jayhawks hardly seem worried about the identity of the players who will fill the void and are more excited about the mind-set the defense will take into each week. “I can’t give you an exact number

Linebackers There’s no easy way to replace a guy like fifth-round NFL draft pick Ben Heeney, so you can bet the Jayhawks aren’t looking to do that. Finding players who can fill in at Heeney’s position, however, would qualify as good news at the moment. Junior Courtney Arnick returns as the most experienced and proven linebacker on the roster, and junior Schyler Miles and sophomore Kyron Watson both have experience. Please see DEFENSE, page 7

Red-shirt freshman Josh Ehambe and newcomer Osaze Ogbebor could find their way onto the field quickly given the Jayhawks’ lack of depth at the position, while Free State High product Joe Dineen, Hutch High product Beau Bell and unheralded junior Cameron Rosser all offer intriguing potential given that each has a knack of finding a way to make plays.

Cornerbacks The loss of two-year starters JaCorey Shepherd and Dexter McDonald to the NFL might be as difficult an area as any on the roster to fix. But it’s not numbers that are hurting the KU secondary. The Jayhawks have a number of cornerbacks on the roster from which to choose. Now defensive coordinator Clint Bowen and cornerbacks coach/co-defensive coordinator Kenny Perry must find the ones who can play.

Safeties As is the case at cornerback, the Jayhawks also are looking to replace last year’s starting safeties, with Cassius Sendish out of eligibility and Isaiah Johnson transferred to South Carolina. Junior Fish Smithson, who played in all 12 games last season, is a very Sendish-like player and he should step right in to one of the safety spots. And the other starting spot should go to newcomer Bazie Bates IV, a terrific athlete blessed with size, speed and the desire to smack. That leaves veterans Greg Allen and Tevin Shaw to back them up and both of those guys figure to factor in at nickelback, as well. True freshman Denzel Feaster is the most exciting safety in the incoming class, but it remains to be seen how quickly he’ll catch on and be ready for action.

Freshmen offer hope at quarterback The recurring nightmare arrived when Texas gunslinger of a quarterback Todd Reesing left. We all know how it goes. One quarterback starts the season. Interceptions. Sacks. Wide-open receivers missed by a mile. The masses clamoring for a change. The next guy comes in, and he’s not the answer either. Or he gets hurt in the spring game on a play that disciplined teams don’t make. Six seasons, six opening-week starters. Todd Reesing, Kale Pick, Jordan Webb, Dayne Crist, Jake Heaps, Montell Cozart. Michael Cummings would have made seven starters in seven openers but he blew his knee out and is out for the season. The streak of a new quarterback starting the season opener ends if Cozart starts vs. South Dakota State, but that’s not likely to end the cries for a replacement. The Kansas University fan base would enter the season with lower expectations for Cozart than it had for any of his predecessors during the recent stretch of musicalchairs starting QBs, so he’s not the one anyone would have expected to start two seasons in a row. Even so, long-range optimism colors the air and with good reason. Kansas recruited not one, but two, promising quarterback prospects from the Class of 2015, one brought in by Charlie Weis’ staff, the next by David Beaty’s. Crist and Heaps taught us all that it’s dangerous to reach any conclusions about quarterbacks until watching them operate under intense pressure that requires snap decisions made when big, fast men are closing in with no obvious escape hatch available. Such conditions bring out the worst in some quarterbacks (Crist, Heaps, Cozart), the best in others (Reesing). Cozart is the most known of the three options at QB, and what’s known is not good. True freshmen Carter Stanley, from Vero Beach High in Florida, and Ryan Willis, a Kansas prospect from Bishop Miege High, will push Cozart for the starting assignment. Buying into any of the three quarterbacks requires a leap of faith. A junior, Cozart has experience, having started three games as a freshman, five as a sophomore, but the results

were not encouraging. He did not display accuracy as a passer. As a runner, he has a beautiful stride and wide-receiver speed, but too often runs fastest when heading for the comfort of the sideline. If he wins the job, that means the coaching staff believes the complexity of the offense in the past froze Cozart, turned him indecisive and slow in responding to the environment. It also probably means that for now Kansas views itself as a running team first. Should Stanley or Willis win the job, each potentially would have one more wide-receiver option than Cozart because Conzart likely would go from throwing passes to catching them. Stanley has the edge in mobility. Willis has the stronger arm. Stanley has more experience running this offense because coordinator Rob Likens and Vero Beach head coach Lenny

Jankowski learned it from the same source, Tony Franklin, Cal’s offensive coordinator when Likens coached receivers there. Willis has the more assertive personality, an important trait for a true freshman ordering around experienced players. It’s not that Stanley fades into the background, it’s just that two seasons ago, as a junior in high school, he was a second-string quarterback. That’s not a lot of time to grow into leading a Big 12 team against one of the nation’s most difficult schedules. That’s not to say he can’t do it this soon. In high school, Stanley and Willis earned strong reputations for making decisions and getting rid of the ball quickly, a must in the quick-strike offense Kansas plans to use. Between them, they lost one game as seniors. Combined, they threw roughly five times as many touchdowns as interceptions. Recruiting Stanley late without losing Willis gives KU twice the chance of being right on a QB from the Class of 2015. Plenty about each freshman adds to the belief that Kansas has upgraded a cursed position that took its latest hit when Cummings, the school’s best post-Reesing producer, was lost for the season because of a knee injury. For one thing, Stanley and Willis are proven winners.

Ryan Willis

Willis, a strong-armed, 6-foot-4, 205-pound pro-style quarterback, comes from an extremely athletic family. His mother was Big Eight triple-jump champion for Iowa State in 1984. His father was the kicker at Kansas State. One sister played basketball at Oklahoma, the other at Saint Louis University. So many recruiting decisions are made in advance of an athlete’s senior year, and schools had nothing to go on with Stanley, 6-2, 188, because he seldom played as a junior. Many big-time schools had hoped they had an in-house solution at QB, but saw those hopes dashed in spring football. Assistant coaches from those programs asked to see Stanley’s video, months after it was too late, according to Jankowski. They wanted to satisfy their curiosity as to whether they could have used him. Coach after coach left wishing he could turn the clock back to recruit Stanley, Jankowski said. For now, Cozart appears to have the first shot at winning the job. Something about the winning ways and physical gifts of Stanley and Willis suggests that even if they don’t get much action as freshmen, one, if not both, will play a role in upgrading the position for QB-cursed KU in coming years.

KU gets no breaks in non-league ————

South Dakota State, Memphis, Rutgers to present ‘challenge’ By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

If ever there were a program that could benefit from a cream-puff nonconference schedule, the 2015 Kansas University football team would be it. But don’t expect to hear any whining or complaining from the Jayhawks, who will be asked to take on a pair of bowl teams from 2014 — including 10win Memphis at home on Sept. 12 — and veteran and always-competitive FCS foe South Dakota State in the season opener at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 5. “It fits in with our slogan,” senior defensive end Ben Goodman said of the team’s tough nonconference schedule. “We have to earn it. A freebie? Nothing is given. We have to earn everything. And we’re gonna have to go out there and play hard and give it our best.” When the Big 12 Conference dropped down to 10 teams and started playing a round-robin schedule, the number of annual opportunities to win outside of conference play dropped from four to three. Because the conference typically is so tough, that made finding a way to win outside of the conference even more important. But it has not exactly worked out for the Jayhawks. KU is just 9-7 in non-Big 12 games during the past five seasons, and this year’s slate could make it difficult to remain above .500. Still, Goodman and company are embracing the challenge and would rather play teams of the caliber of South Dakota State, Memphis and Rutgers than less-talented clubs that would not pose as big of a test. “I look forward to the challenge,” junior offensive lineman Jordan Shelley-Smith said. “I don’t see the point in playing down. I think playing good competition every week is a big thing. That’s why I chose the Big 12.” Beyond the fact that these tough early-season tests force the Jayhawks to be on their game right out of the gate, Shelley-Smith said facing tough teams in September can benefit the Jayhawks in the long run.

MEMPHIS COACH JUSTIN FUENTE HOLDS UP THE TROPHY after Memphis defeated Brigham Young 55-48 in double overtime during the inaugural Miami Beach Bowl on Dec. 22, 2014, in Miami. Fuente and Memphis will visit Kansas University on Sept. 12. “I think they do prepare you for Big 12 play, and I look forward to it,” he said. Added sophomore tight end Ben Johnson, who said having a schedule ranked as one of the 10 toughest in the country was a good thing: “You just have to take each game by itself. You can’t look forward. You can’t look past anybody. You can’t look on to other games. You just gotta be focused on each game, one at a time.”

South Dakota State, which advanced to the second round of the FCS playoffs during last season’s 9-5 run, returns several veterans from that squad but will be looking to replace dynamic running back Zach Zenner, who ran for 2,019 yards and 22 touchdowns a season ago. Memphis, led by red-hot coaching commodity Justin Fuente, finished in the top half of several statistical categories last season, including 22nd in points for and 11th in points against.

Rutgers, which won eight games during its first season in the Big Ten, will have played three games by the time the Jayhawks come to town, including match-ups at home against Washington State and at Penn State. The Sept. 26 battle with the Scarlet Knights will represent KU’s first chance of the 2015 season to snap a 33game road losing streak, which dates to September of 2009.

BIG 12 • IOWA STATE

Returning QB has Cyclones excited ————

Richardson ranked 24th nationally in total offense last season By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Head coach at Iowa State since the 2009 season, Paul Rhoads is eager for a novel experience this fall in Ames, Iowa. “It’s the first year in seven years at the helm that we’ve had a veteran quarterback like Sam (Richardson) ready to lead us into the season,” Rhoads said. A 6-foot-2 fifth-year senior, Richardson has started 19 games for the Cyclones. Eleven of those came in 2014, when he completed 23.1 passes a game for struggling ISU (2-10) and became just the third QB in program history to surpass 3,000 yards of total offense (3,090), which ranked him 24th in the nation. Richardson threw for 2,669 yards and 18 touchdowns. The only game Richardson missed, Iowa State lost 34-14 at Kansas, giving the Cyclones the undesirable distinctions as the Big 12’s only winless team in conference, as well as the only one to lose to the Jayhawks. Considering Richardson ranked second on ISU in rushing (421 yards), behind departed running back Aaron Wimberly (642 yards), and only 33.3 percent of Iowa State’s 372.5 yards of offense a game came on the ground, Rhoads realizes the Cyclones could

use a lot more variety and effectiveness in their scheme this season. “It goes hand in hand with what you’re doing up front and your ability to block people and your ability to open up holes,” ISU’s coach said. “But then the backfield takes a large chunk of that responsibility. Not only do they got to run through holes, they’ve got to make folks miss at times. “And it’s one of the things that we haven’t done a good enough job of accomplishing since Alexander Robinson was rushing for 1,000 yards back in 2009.” The Cyclones are trending very young at running back, with sophomore Tyler Brown (24 carries, 109 yards in 2014), red-shirt freshman Mi-

BIG 12 • BAYLOR

Bears’ approach: Just win, baby ————

Behind DE Oakman, Briles confident Baylor will live up to billing By Benton Smith

BAYLOR AT A GLANCE

basmith@ljworld.com

Baylor coach Art Briles is convinced he has cracked the code to the College Football Playoff, the four-team national championship tournament which left both BU and 2014 Big 12 cochampion TCU out of the mix in its inaugural season. “My job is to win,” Briles said. “And if we line up and we win 12 games this year, we’re going to be in the final four. I think you can put that in ink right now.” The Bears open 2015 marginally trailing TCU in preseason rankings (the No. 1 Frogs were picked ahead of No. 2 BU by Big 12 media members; and TCU landed at No. 2 in the USA Today Coaches Poll, two spots in front of Baylor), but the goal of competing for a national title is the same for both programs. While TCU has a big-time, dualthreat quarterback in Trevone Boykin, Baylor enters this season with unheralded junior QB Seth Russell (one career start) at the helm. Briles won’t lose much sleep, though, because the face of his team figures to be senior defensive end Shawn Oakman — voted Big 12 preseason defensive player of the year by the media. The aptly named Oakman is a 6-foot-9, 280-pound All-

Oakman set the BU single-season

record for sacks with 11 in 2014, and then returned to Waco, Texas, instead of leaving to pursue an NFL career. Briles considers the Bears fortunate to have both Oakman and senior offensive lineman Spencer Drango still wearing green and gold, because he

thinks both could have been drafted in the first round. The Bears have a wealth of talent surrounding their two anchors as well. Running back Shock Linwood, wide receiver Corey Coleman, tight end Tre’Von Armstead, defensive lineman Andrew Billings and defensive back Orion Stewart — all juniors — joined seniors Oakman and Drango as members of the media’s preseason All-Big 12 first team. Having them around will make it easier for Briles and the Bears to secure those 12 wins — a feat that also would give BU three straight Big 12 titles. “Our guys have good experience,” Briles said. “They have winning experience. They have championship experience.”

BIG 12 • TEXAS TECH

Raiders strive to shore up defense ————

Tech counting on new coordinator Gibbs to plug holes By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

In his first season as head coach at his alma mater, Kliff Kingsbury saw Texas Tech’s defense surrender 30.5 points a game in 2013. That number jumped to 41.2 points allowed in Year Two. Obviously, something had to change. Enter new defensive coordinator David Gibbs. Kingsbury brought Gibbs over from Houston, where his defense ranked 11th nationally in points allowed (19.5) last fall and 19th in yards allowed (334.6). The Cougars did an even better job of creating turnovers, ranking fifth in that category (30 takeaways).

So pretty much an entire overhaul. … The players responded well.” Perhaps just as important, Kingsbury expects Gibbs’ addition to help Texas Tech in its recruiting efforts with defensive prospects. “With coach Gibbs, he brings his NFL résumé. He brings what he did at the University of Houston, which was phenomenal in two years there,” Kingsbury said. “So guys want to be around that. They want to play for a coach who has those types of credentials. So that’s been huge.

BIG 12 • OKLAHOMA STATE

Cowboys confident in stingy defense By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Months ago, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy named sophomore Mason Rudolph the Cowboys’ No. 1 quarterback. The decision to hand the offense over to Rudolph, who has played in three college football games thus far in his young career, likely came a little easier for Gundy because of the trust he has in his defense. OSU led the Big 12 with three defensive players named to the all-conference preseason first team: senior linebacker Ryan Simmons, junior de-

fensive lineman Emmanuel Ogbah and senior defensive back Kevin Peterson. A 5-foot-11 cornerback, Peterson broke up 11 passes as a junior and recorded two interceptions, including a late pick in the Cactus Bowl to seal the Cowboys’ victory over Washington and assure the team of a winning record (7-6) in 2014. His coach beams when the corner’s name comes up in conversation. Gundy said Peterson is one of the players who truly understands commitment and the team-first concept.

“Over the last couple of seasons, he stepped up and developed some leadership skills and really helped our football team in that area,” Gundy said of Peterson. “He played early in his career, went through a stage where he was developing his body physically, but mentally he’s grown and has helped carry our players over well last summer and the summer before.” While Peterson, Ogbah and Simmons are the known commodities for OSU’s defense, Gundy thinks some of their teammates who people “are not aware of” will come through as well. “They’ve been in our program a couple years, and we feel good about what they’ve done up to this point,” the coach said. “So we’ll see how they start in September. We’ll see if we can bring them along and get them ready to play, and for that stretch during the season in conference, which usually determines which direction teams OKLAHOMA STATE DEFENSIVE END EMMANUEL OGBAH STRETCHES before practice Aug. 6 in Stillwater, Oklahoma. go.” In that same stretch, Gundy and the Cowboys will find out if their sophoOSU AT A GLANCE more quarterback is as good as they Last season: 7-6; beat Washington at think he is.

Perine to carry load for Sooners ————

Stoops says standout running back faster, stronger than last year By Benton Smith

OKLAHOMA AT A GLANCE

basmith@ljworld.com

No one who witnessed the 2014 meeting between Kansas and Oklahoma will forget the name Samaje Perine. The then-freshman OU running back made sure of that, as Perine did his best Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl impression, looking unstoppable on his way to an NCAA-record-setting 427 yards in a 44-7 trouncing of the Jayhawks. Perine rushed for five of his 21 touchdowns that rainy November afternoon in Norman, Oklahoma, and solidified his spot on the 2014 All-Big 12 first team. The 5-foot-11 Pflugerville, Texas, native averaged 6.5 yards a carry and eclipsed 1,700 yards in his first season at OU. “Samaje … it’s hard to improve on where he was, but I believe he will,” Sooners coach Bob Stoops predicted. “He’s such a great, great worker, very humble guy that’s always hungry. He’s really trimmed up a bit. He probably lost five pounds, but he’s faster and still has the same strength and maybe more strength with another year in the weight room. So I believe he’ll just continue to improve.” That’s a frightening proposition — not only for KU, but also the rest of the Big 12. The same could be said of the premise of Perine becoming an

Thomas, some wondered if the Sooners would decide to get away from passing the ball as often. Why not just hand the ball to their trusted, proven running virtuoso?

“It would be hard to run more than we were used to,” Stoops countered, referencing Perine’s 263 carries last season. “Samaje is going to get the football. We’re very aware of the quality of player that he is, but, again, I think we’ll have a good mix. I think you’re at your best — I don’t worry that you’re ever 50‑50. I just worry that you’re productive.” In 2014, OU threw the ball 29.7 times a game and ran it 42.8 times. With Perine doing the bulk of the damage, the Sooners averaged 261.2 of their 464.7 yards a game on the ground. If Stoops is correct, at least OU’s opponents won’t have to worry about more touches for Perine. Then again, the coach also said the running back is faster — and possibly stronger — as a sophomore. So more video-game numbers from the 237-pound back just might be inevitable.

Strong not too worried about QB ————

Second-year ’Horns coach says supporting cast will be key By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

While second-year Texas coach Charlie Strong entered preseason camp with the matter of a No. 1 quarterback unresolved, he said of the Longhorns’ offense — and either junior Tyrone Swoopes or red-shirt freshman Jerrod Heard — ultimately will depend on the players surrounding the potential starters. While the former Florida defensive coordinator wasn’t about to claim either Swoopes, the incumbent, or the up-and-coming Heard is the next Tim Tebow, Strong referenced the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner when giving an example of how dependent a

Kansas: Nov. 7, at Austin, Texas QB can be on his teammates. Strong pointed out Tebow played with other big names at Florida, such as Percy Harvin, Aaron Hernandez, Riley Cooper, Chris Rainey and Maurkice and Mike Pouncey. “You talk about what you see out of

Swoopes and what you see out of Heard, both those guys are very competitive, but everyone else around them needs to play well, also,” Strong said. “We need to find play-makers at wide receiver. We need the running backs. You got (running back Johnathan) Gray here. We need him to have a big year. We need the offensive line to protect the quarterback. Then you will have a chance.” Whoever wins the job, Strong wants UT’s quarterback to move the football down the field without “turning the ball over and having dumb plays or dumb mistakes.” The Longhorns finished with a minus-3 turnover margin in 2014 and ranked tied for 81st in the nation in the category. Swoopes threw 11 interceptions as

a sophomore, and Strong said the QB will be the first to admit he didn’t perform to his potential. “He wants to play well because of, so much has been said about him, and he wants to prove to everyone that he can play that position,” UT’s coach said. “I hope he does do that. I’d be more than happy if he did.” Of course, the Longhorns also will require a stout defense to compete in the Big 12 and get back to winning more often than they lose following a 6-7 mark in 2014. Senior defensive back Duke Thomas, placed by the media on the preseason all-conference first team, broke up 10 passes this past fall and finished with three interceptions.

Frogs relish great expectations ————

Texas Christian boasts Heisman front-runner in QB Boykin By Benton Smith

TCU AT A GLANCE

basmith@ljworld.com

Both within the Big 12 and on the national college football landscape, expectations are soaring for TCU in 2015. After the Horned Frogs watched the four-team College Football Playoff from afar this past winter, they return to the gridiron as the conference favorite and the No. 2 team in the country — behind only reigning champion Ohio State, and ahead of the likes of Alabama, Oregon and Florida State — according to the preseason USA Today Coaches Poll. The arm and legs of senior TCU quarterback Tervone Boykin propeled the program to this enviable position. During a breakout junior season, the 6-foot-2 Dallas native threw for 3,901 yards and 33 touchdowns and added 707 yards and eight scores by rushing the ball. The Heisman Trophy front-runner’s head coach, Gary Patterson, didn’t exactly see all of this coming prior to Boykin’s junior year, which culminated with a 12-1 record. TCU’s 2014 spring session came and went with Patterson not thinking too highly of the offense. “Then our kids really came along during the summertime on their own,” Patterson recalled, “really bonded and started doing it, and things just happened.” Things such as: averaging 46.5

terback since 2009 to average at least 300 passing yard and 50 rushing yards, joining Heisman winners Robert Griffin III and Johnny Manziel. But Boykin turned down chances to work with QB “gurus” this summer so he could

remain at TCU and make offseason gains with his teammates through 7-on-7 drills and other team activities. “Whether he believes or doesn’t believe it,” Patterson said of the hype, “at least he’s doing the right things, and I think that’s half the battle. Sometimes you can get lulled into everything, especially if you went from where we were to where he is now. So for us, from everything I’ve seen up to this point, he’s handled it very well.” Named the Big 12’s preseason offensive player of the year by the media, Boykin doesn’t have to carry the Frogs. Four of his fellow seniors — receiver Josh Doctson, offensive linemen Joey Hunt and Halapoulivaati Vaitai and defensive lineman Davion Pierson — joined him on the preseason all-conference first team.

West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen has worked in college football for a little more than two decades, but he doesn’t think he ever has been a part of a team that has a defense as nasty as this year’s corps of Mountaineers. “I’ve just got guys that have a bunch of experience,” Holgorsen said of a unit led by senior linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski and senior defensive back Karl Joseph. Now entering his fourth season in the conference, Holgorsen doesn’t mind his program taking on a different identity than usual in 2015. “When we came into this league three years ago, everybody remembers (quarterback) Geno Smith and (offensive do-it-all) Tavon Austin and (wide receiver) Stedman Bailey, but I doubt you could name another person, especially anybody on defense,” the coach said. Holgorsen credits second-year defensive coordinator Tony Gibson for the turnaround. With aggressive blitzing and stellar man-to-man defense in 2014, WVU finished ninth in the nation in third-down defense, 12th in fourthdown defense and 15th in highest percentage of forced three-and-outs. “It’s been a long road to get to this point defensively,” Holgorsen said, “and we obviously feel good about it.” Offensively, junior running back Wendell Smallwood just might become the Mountaineers’ next featured play-maker. Both Smallwood (722 rushing yards, two touchdowns in 2014) and junior running back Rushel Shell (788 yards on the ground, seven touchdowns) return for WVU, but Holgorsen characterized Smallwood as the best all-around back for his offense, which often features various personnel groupings and individual players lining up at numerous spots. “He’s potentially the most versatile guy I’ve ever been around,” Holgorsen said, noting Smallwood learned a lot

The Mountaineers entered preseason camp without Holgorsen identifying a starting quarterback, but junior Skyler Howard figures to earn the job. The WVU coach even hinted another potential QB, red-shirt freshman William Crest, will play a running back/receiver role. And while Holgorsen is fine with defense carrying the team, he’s still an offensive coordinator at heart. He doesn’t expect to start running the ball more to become a grind-it-out team. “Geez, I still like to throw the ball a good bit, you know,” Holgorsen said. “I know one thing: If you can’t do either one, you’re not going to be worth a darn, I can assure you of that.”

Snyder puts trust in safety Barnett ————

Low expectations again greet Wildcats heading into preseason By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Grizzled Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, never one to reveal much about his team before the season begins, nor to heap praise on individuals rather than the team, is more than happy to have senior safety Dante Barnett manning the Wildcats’ secondary. The 6-foot-1 Tulsa, Oklahoma, native compiled 77 tackles (four for loss), defended 11 passes and had three interceptions in 2014. His junior-year accomplishments landed him on the watch lists for the Thorpe and Walter Camp awards, just to name a couple of his preseason accolades. Snyder thinks those distinctions are

M a d e

i n

wonderful for players and the program. He just doesn’t particularly care about them. “Congratulations on being selected on this watch list, that watch list, etc., etc., but that’s not the significant thing,” Snyder said. “The important thing is: Will you work hard enough, will you make it important enough to you to earn it in the light that is expected of you, which is to be a great teammate and make it about the team and not about yourself?” K-State went 9-4 last season and finished third in the Big 12. But the Wildcats opened preseason camp without a starting quarterback, and no Tyler

Lockett (drafted by Seattle) to carry the offense. Junior fullback Glenn Gronkowski and senior offensive lineman Cody Whitehair return for the Wildcats, and will be in place to block. But for whom? The tight-lipped Snyder surely has a better idea than he would publicly acknowledge. Kansas State began its August practice schedule with four players in the mix to win the No. 1 spot: Jonathan Banks, a sophomore transfer from Contra Costa College; red-shirt freshman Zach Davidson; sophomore Jesse Ertz, who played in mop-up duty in 2014; and junior Joe Hubener, who appeared in seven games last season. Snyder also understands having someone like Barnett will help K-State as it attempts to surpass the low preseason expectations (Big 12 media picked Kansas State seventh in its preseason poll) that come with so much uncertainty. The 75-year-old coach thinks Barnett cares more about the team’s accomplishments than his own. “Dante is a very confident young guy, and I appreciate that a great deal,” the coach said. “But by the same token, humility is part of his makeup, and I appreciate that a great deal, as well.”

THE EVOLUTION OF THE JAYHAWK By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Kansas University may be 150 years old, but its mascot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Jayhawk â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is slightly more of a spring chicken. The term Jayhawk combines two birds: the blue jay, noisy and quarrelsome, and the sparrowhawk, a stealthy hunter, according to KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Traditionsâ&#x20AC;? website. During the Civil War, the term Jayhawkers came to be applied to anti-slavery ruffians who made Lawrence a Free State stronghold. The bird first emerged at KU in a cheer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the famous Rock Chalk chant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in 1886, according to KU. And when KU football players first took the field in 1890, they were called Jayhawkers. It would be years before an official mascot emerged on paper. Here, according to KU, is the evolution of KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jayhawk.

1912 Henry Maloy, a cartoonist for the student newspaper, drew a memorable version, with shoes for kicking opponents.

1920 This more somber bird, perched on the letters â&#x20AC;&#x153;KU,â&#x20AC;? emerged.

1929

1941

Forrest O. Calvin drew this grim-faced Jayhawk with vicious talons.

Gene â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yogiâ&#x20AC;? Williams opened the Jayhawkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beak and eyes, getting closer to the version that would last for decades.

1923 Jimmy Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Bryon and George Hollingbery designed this â&#x20AC;&#x153;ducklikeâ&#x20AC;? Jayhawk.

1946 Harold D. Sandy designed, and copyrighted the following year, the smiling Jayhawk that survives today.

HOW DO I SAY...? A pronunciation guide for tricky KU buildings

Staff Reports

On the Kansas University campus, great pride is taken in following tradition. Often, it’s easy to distinguish the new students from the seasoned ones based on their knowledge of KU culture —

and how they pronounce names of the 150 campus buildings and other landmarks. Names such as the Lied Center (pronounced LEED) or Learned Hall (pronounced LERN-ed) look easy enough, but their actual pronunciations are different from what a non-KU cultured student may expect.

10 HIDDEN GEMS WORTH SEEKING OUT By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

The Campanile towers over Marvin Grove and fills campus with music. Stately Strong Hall is the centerpiece of Jayhawk Boulevard. And Fraser Hall’s sky-high flagpoles can be seen from miles outside Lawrence. But Kansas University has many view-worthy buildings that aren’t on the beaten path. Here are 10 hidden gems worth scoping out:

The Boathouse 220 Indiana St., in Burcham Park Opened in 2009, the sleek and modern KU Boathouse next to the Kansas River is home to the men’s and women’s rowing teams’ boats and locker rooms.

Chamney House and Center for Design Research 2544 Westbrooke Circle Old joins new at this spot, where a stone house and matching barn used by a dairy farm in the early 1900s complement the adjacent Center for Design Research, a modern facility for collaborative research in sustainable

energy, dedicated in 2011 and designed and built by KU architecture students.

Chancellor’s residence (The Outlook) 1532 Lilac Lane Built in 1912, this elegant, three-story, 26-room house was willed to KU in 1939 and has been home to every chancellor since.

Hall Center for the Humanities 900 Sunnyside Ave. Stone arches from KU’s

oldest surviving structure — the 1887 powerhouse — were incorporated into this new building dedicated in 2005.

Max Kade Center 1134 W. 11th St. Concealed by trees on a cul de sac just off 11th Street, this mansion is home to the Max Kade Center for German-American Studies and KU’s Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. The limestone house was originally built in 1927 for Mervin T. Sudler, Lawrence Journal-World File Photos physician, professor of anatomy and dean of the Medical Clockwise from top left: The Boathouse, The Outlook (chancellor’s residence) and the Max Kade Center School.

Inside, the modern building opens into a living room-like walk-out basement with a spiral staircase and lots of glass overlooking the slope behind. The 1971 building was designed by Kivett & Myers, a Kansas City, Mo., architecture firm that also designed the Kansas City International Airport and the Royals and Chiefs stadiums.

Spencer Research Library 1450 Poplar Lane From Jayhawk Boulevard, Strong Hall eclipses this neoclassical building from view. Built of white Indiana limestone, it features a large terrace adjoining it to the back side of Strong and, on the other side, windows overlooking Marvin Grove.

Twente Hall 1545 Lilac Lane Originally Watkins Memorial Hospital, it opened in January 1932. The unusual splayed-V design of the stone building, by State Architect Joseph E. Radotinsky, accommodates its site on the edge of the hill.

KU HISTORY: 10 THINGS TO KNOW By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

Here are a few Kansas University factoids to know as the institution celebrates its 150th anniversary. Quick language note: Another way of saying “150th anniversary” is to say the university is celebrating its “sesquicentennial anniversary.” Just in case you didn’t know. 1: The first classes at KU were held on Sept. 12, 1866. 2: Robert W. Oliver was Kansas University’s first chancellor. He was elected on March 21, 1865, at the first meeting of the Kansas Board of Regents. 3: From the start of classes until 1872, North College was KU’s only building. 4: In 1866, tuition for KU cost $30 per year for college classes and $10 per year for college prep classes. 5: KU launched with three faculty members. Their salaries? $1,600 per year.

‘

6: On Dec. 2, 1872, “the New Building,” now remembered as “Old Fraser,” officially opened to the public at the site where Fraser Hall currently stands. 7: On Dec. 4, 1867, General John Fraser was elected KU’s second chancellor. 8: The Alpha Nu chapter of Beta Theta Pi was the first fraternity at KU, with its first initiation in 1873. 9: Although classes began in 1866, the university’s first commencement was not held until 1873. There were four graduates. 10: At age 23, Flora Richardson was valedictorian of KU’s first graduating class, and also KU’s first female graduate.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS RAISE THEIR HANDS DURING THE PLAYING OF “CRIMSON AND THE BLUE” before a KU men’s basketball game, Dec. 15, 2012, at Allen Fieldhouse.

SONG OF THE JAYHAWKS

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Inspired by an existing tune — but with words changed to reflect the beauty of Kansas University’s campus on “The Hill” — the KU alma mater dates to the school’s early decades. According to KU history, in 1891 professor George Barlow Penny searched for a school song for the Glee and Mandolin Club to sing on a tour. Just

before departing he thought of Cornell’s “Far Above Cayuga’s Waters,” changed a few words and taught it to the glee club. It’s not just a song for the band, though. KU students and alumni link arms and sing “Crimson and the Blue” at football and basketball games, commencement and other big events, so you’ll want to know the words. — KU reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

‘Crimson and the Blue’ Far above the golden valley Glorious to view, Stands our noble Alma Mater, Towering toward the blue. CHORUS: Lift the chorus ever onward, Crimson and the blue Hail to thee, our Alma Mater Hail to old KU. Far above the distant humming Of the busy town, Reared against the dome of

heaven, Looks she proudly down. (REPEAT CHORUS) Greet we then our foster mother, Noble friend so true, We will ever sing her praises, Hail to old KU. (REPEAT CHORUS) (Follow with Rock Chalk Chant) — Source: www.ku.edu/about/traditions

5 KEY RULES TO PARKING AT KU warning tickets first to make sure people really understand what the changes were.” The evening can bring some respite. Yellow zones generally open up at 4 p.m. and most other lots open up at 5 p.m., but there are some exceptions, Hultine said. Signs indicate hours or enforcement, so again, be sure to read them.

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

No more stickers on your windshield. Starting this school year, all parking permits will now be electronic — an e-permit registered under your license plate. For now, paper tickets will still be issued as the Kansas University parking department gradually switches to e-citations, in which students only get an email notification, KU Parking and Transit director Donna Hultine said. For those who drive to class, here are some things you should know.

3. If you get a ticket, pay it right away. Tickets must be paid within 10 business days of being issued, or an additional $10 fee will be added and the ticket will Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo be considered “outstanding.” Unpaid parking tickets put KANSAS UNIVERSITY PARKING CONTROL OFFICER STEVE DEVILLIER a hold on your account, which photographs a license plate as he works to print out a citation for 1.

options are.” There is also a first-time ticket forgiveness quiz. So if it’s your first ticket and falls under certain categories (such as parking in the wrong zone — but not fire lanes or handicap spaces), you can cancel it by taking the parking quiz that goes over the rules.

4. Motorcycles and mopeds require permits, too. Most lots have designated areas for motorcycles as well as moped and scooter-type vehicles, and such vehicles are required to park in those areas. There are also some additional areas that offer spaces, such as between Anschutz Library and Budig Hall, Hultine said. You can look at the parking map for more. Bicycles don’t require parking permits. 5. Give yourself time to find a spot. Don’t expect to immediately find a parking space, especially during peak hours such as Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., Hultine said. It’s important to know where the yellow zones are and to have a backup plan in case the first lot you go to is full, Hultine said. That takes extra time, so make sure you plan for that possibility.
