Scholars question KU’s discipline of cheerleaders By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

Constitutional law experts say the University of Kansas may have acted too quickly in publicly disciplining four cheerleaders linked to a social media post that some people interpreted as racist. “This is a classic example

First amendment experts concerned with handling of social media post of ready, fire, aim — they punished these kids before they had any evidence,” said Mark Johnson, a partner at Dentons Kansas City, Mo., law firm and adjunct faculty member who teaches a first amendment class for the KU schools of law and journalism.

“Regardless of the results of the investigations, these kids have been convicted in the public already. I mean, it’s all over the country.” Media outlets nationwide shared reports last week after KU Athletics suspended four cheerleaders from performing

with the squad pending further investigation of a photo posted on one cheerleader’s Snapchat account. KU Athletics and KU announced that cheerleader’s suspension on their official

RAMEN BOWLS, LOCATED AT 125 E. 10TH ST., has filed plans with the city to expand its operation to incorporate rooftop dining.

downtowns. A Lawrence restaurant has filed plans with City Hall in hopes of bringing the concept here. The folks at Ramen Bowls have filed plans to add rooftop dining to their building at 125 E. 10th St. If all goes according to plans, the restaurant hopes by spring to have a dining area to accommodate around 40 people, and

a full bar area. The idea was sparked by a need to expand but a desire to stay in its current location, said co-owner Shantel Grace. “We thought, what do they do in other cities?” Grace said. “They just go up.” Indeed, many downtowns do allow rooftop dining. I know I once spent a good > RAMEN, 2A

With much mystery, Lawrence school board members on Monday accepted the resignation of “an employee who was the subject of (a) pending investigation,” but declined to comment on whether the individual is the South Middle School teacher who has been accused of making racist comments. Board members unanimously agreed to accept the employee’s resignation, effective at the end of the school SCHOOLS year. In the meantime, the board agreed to keep the employee on “administrate leave,” but district officials declined to clarify whether that meant the employee would continue to be paid for the school year. School board members were panned by audience members for how they handled the incident and were asked to resign by one member of the approximately two-dozen people who filled the board’s meeting room. “At the end of the day, you all do not serve our children and do not care,” said Caleb Stephens, an organizer with the local chapter of Black Lives Matter. “You need to go.” Stephens, along with allies of Black Lives Matter and other groups representing diversity concerns, have been vocal attendees of school board meetings since the district’s announcement last month of its investigation into racist comments allegedly made by a South Middle School teacher during class earlier this fall. On Monday, Stephens called the school board’s response to his and others’ > SCHOOLS, 6A

She did not raise the block. many red flags with the Shmalberg said rooftop application, but also noted dining just seems to that the request must make sense in Lawrence, still be reviewed by the

city’s Historic Resources Commission. Zollner said some key elements to the request are that the dining area would be set back from the edge of the building considerably and the profile of the dining area would be low. Both of those are important because those factors will limit the visibility of the dining area from the street. Historic preservationists likely will balk at the idea of rooftop dining if it significantly changes the look of downtown buildings. Shmalberg said Lawrence-based architect Lance Adams has been working on the design plans for months, and also has been working closely with the Lawrence fire department on other safety considerations. The project will involve much more than just putting some tables and chairs on the roof. New stairways that can serve as fire exits will be required, and new steel beams will be put in place to carry the additional load, rather than relying on the roof to do so. In addition, the roof will be plumbed for a bathroom and, importantly, the bar area. Grace said having the

full bar on the roof will be a selling point for customers. She and her husband, Tim, hope to convert the rooftop area into a space that has a bit of a Hawaiian feel, similar to some of the classier establishments they were familiar with when they lived on the islands. “Tiki drinks and cocktails. Rum will be a part of what we do,” Grace said, although she said the restaurant won’t try to create a stereotypical tiki bar atmosphere. “But our vision is a space that is very connected to Hawaii.” Hawaiian sunshine may be tough to come by year-round, though. Grace said figuring out how to make the rooftop usable as much as possible is requiring a lot of thought. She said plans call for part of the dining area to be under cover. She said heating devices also can be used to help on cold days. She said really hot and windy Kansas summer days may be the greater challenge. Figuring out how to deal with those seasonal issues probably will determine how prevalent rooftop dining becomes in downtown Lawrence. Compared with

sidewalk dining, adding a rooftop space is going to cost a restaurant a lot more money. Grace, though, thinks people will be surprised at what they find once they are allowed on the rooftops. “It is really beautiful up there,” she said. “You can see Mount Oread and all the red rooftops on campus. I think people are going to love it.” In case you are not familiar with Ramen Bowls, the restaurant has been open for just more than three years. As you probably already have determined, it serves a different class of Ramen than the 33 cent packages of dried noodles you can buy from area grocery stores. The restaurant makes its own miso and tonkotsu broth each morning. In addition to the Ramen, the menu also includes homemade egg rolls, wontons, dumplings and sauteed soybeans. “We’re thrilled with how business has been,” Grace said. “We just need more space.”

rodent problem in her apartment is widespread — mice droppings line her countertops and silverware drawer. “Old buildings sometimes have mice, and I get that, but these are bold mice,” Anderson said, noting they come out even during the day. “They run out on my counters, they eat my food.” The downstairs tenants also have concerns. The problem with the lines caused sewage to back up into the bathtub, Caroline Phillips said. She said the shower in the upstairs unit is also leaking through the floor, dripping into her apartment. Some of the issues — Jimenez said it isn’t uncommon for old clay sewer lines to collapse — could be due to the building’s age. De Vries said she recently inherited the approximately 150-yearold building from her father, and that she has been working to rectify the tenants’ concerns. She said the property has sentimental value for her, and she

wants to use the situation as an opportunity to get the old building into shape. “I’m going to let the city inspection process identify all the problems and go from there,” de Vries said. “I’m going to rank them in order of severity and go down the list.” Jimenez said he would not have the complete list of violations fully prepared until Tuesday. Once a landlord fixes code violations identified by the city, the property can be ruled inhabitable again. The tenants may not wait though, as both say they plan to look for another apartment. The property is one of more than 20,000 rental properties in Lawrence that is covered by the city’s code enforcement program. But unless a tenant calls to complain, Jimenez said the program only inspects 10 percent of a landlord’s property on a three-year cycle. For 2015, the city did about 1,500 inspections, which amounts to

less than 10 percent of the licensed properties. After the ownership change, Jimenez said the property on Elm Street was in the process of being licensed under Margretta de Vries’ name. Jimenez said the process would have eventually triggered the inspection of one of the units. In addition to the sampled inspections, Jimenez said the department does inspections when complaints are received from tenants. He said the number of those complaints varies from about 50 to 100 per year. Jimenez said plumbing and electrical issues are a common complaint, but that it can be a wide range of things. “Weak floors, windows that don’t open or close, lack of smoke detectors; it can be a lot of different things,” Jimenez said. The city’s rental registration and inspection program began in 2015, and supporters said the effort could produce the largest improvement in living conditions in the city in a

generation. In addition to using tenant complaints to identify unlicensed properties, Jimenez said the department systematically uses public records to identify unlicensed rentals, and notifies owners of the requirements. The North Lawrence Improvement Association provided funds to both tenants for their hotels, according to the association’s president, Ted Boyle. In addition to improving the condition of the building, de Vries said she is in the process of arranging a direct reimbursement to the hotels for her tenants’ lodging bills. Still, Anderson, who is due to have another baby next week, said the situation has left her in a tough spot. “We weren’t expecting any of this,” Anderson said. “We didn’t have extra money saved up for a deposit, and all that kind of stuff, so we’re just trying to find people that will work with us.”

go trump” on the Snapchat account of the first suspended cheerleader, Gagin, a white female. The Snapchat message was posted during a party Nov. 19, and KU Athletics learned of it via Twitter Nov. 21 during a KU men’s basketball game. KU has not formally released any of the cheerleaders’ names. But before the end of the game, KU Athletics tweeted, “Unacceptable. She is suspended from cheering pending formal investigation.” along with an image of tweets by another user naming the cheerleader and complaining about the Snapchat photo. KU retweeted, adding the message, “There is no place for this in our community. These types of messages are unacceptable.” Barcomb-Peterson said this week that those tweets were posted “to send an immediate response.” “It was getting a lot of attention,” she said. “KU just wanted to be proactive to try to get the statements across.” KU Athletics and KU deleted those tweets the following day, and shared a new tweet stating four “individuals referenced in the recent Snapchat incident are suspended from performing.” “We have removed our original post regarding the situation because it did not contain the context necessary to appropriately identify the individual who had been suspended from Spirit

Squad activities,” KU Athletics said, in a Nov. 22 Facebook post. Bill Rich, a Washburn University School of Law Constitutional law professor, said there are gray areas in First Amendment protections on university campuses and social media, as the U.S. Supreme Court has not given much guidance in those contexts. Generally, speech by public employees acting as private citizens is protected, he said. However, when they engage in speech that creates a hostile working environment for others, that is cause for the government to limit their speech activity. “Where exactly students fit in that relationship is not clear,” Rich said, adding that athletes or spirit squad members may be considered differently from other students. “Higher obligations might well be imposed on those people who are in a position of representing a university.” Social media can make things even more muddy, he said, because it’s hard to draw a line between what someone is saying as a private citizen versus part of a school community. Johnson said more investigation is needed to answer questions like whether the photo was taken and posted off-campus or on, under what circumstances, whether it’s been cropped, who actually put it on Snapchat with the text, and why.

“What we don’t know is what we don’t know,” Johnson said. “I’m concerned about how KU Athletics approached this. They made the decision to suspend before they had nearly all of the facts.” Johnson said there are both innocent and not-soinnocent possibilities. He said even racist speech is protected under the First Amendment, though hate speech may not be. “The university’s rules rightfully prohibit speech that’s directed at individuals and has the imminent threat of inciting physical violence,” Johnson said. “That’s sticking your nose in somebody’s face and using a racist term to them. This is not that ... If it was intended to be racist, I’m not even sure that it violates the university’s policy.” Rich said the university is obligated by law to respond to incidents in a way that reduces the feeling that there is a hostile environment — limiting exposure by taking down bulletin board postings or removing graffiti might be one example. Whether to discipline a student depends on facts, and the student should be given an opportunity to respond before judgment is made, Rich said. He said that doesn’t necessarily have to be an extremely formal process, “but when someone has been publicly dealt with, the opportunity for that person to clear his or her name becomes an additional factor.”

The outcome might differ if investigation determined the speech was intended as a political jab at President-elect Donald Trump, as some social media users have suggested, versus hateful speech indicating support for the Ku Klux Klan, as others contend. “You can certainly say it’s a post that could be interpreted in a racist manner, but that doesn’t mean that was the intent of the person who posted it,” Rich said after viewing the Snapchat image. “You owe some kind of an obligation to the person who did the posting. It’s why there ought to be an investigation ... and people shouldn’t jump to conclusions one way or the other as to what the appropriate university response should be.” Barcomb-Peterson said KU’s policy prohibiting racial and ethnic harassment addresses how the university balances freedom of expression and respect. “This policy is not intended to infringe upon freedom of expression or academic freedom,” the policy states. “The University of Kansas, Lawrence, recognizes that such freedoms are fundamental to the educational process. This policy will be administered with respect for the necessity for the free exchange of ideas in the academic community.”

Energy because of the proximity of a transformer to the sewage line. “I’ve been calling people nonstop about this ever since it happened,” de Vries said. Anderson and her children, as well as the other two tenants in the building, have since vacated their apartments and are staying in a hotel. The tenants reported the situation to the city, and inspectors condemned the property Monday morning. The city’s Code Enforcement Manager Brian Jimenez said the condemnation was ordered because a plumber found that the building’s main sanitary sewer line had likely collapsed. Jimenez said a followup inspection by the city Monday afternoon found about 20 additional code violations, including a mice infestation. Anderson said the

Twitter accounts within hours of learning of the Snapchat post, and announced the other three suspensions on Twitter the following day. Lili Gagin said on her own Twitter account and told KU Athletics officials that she did not post the photo on her Snapchat account, that someone else took her phone and did it. She did not respond to a message from the JournalWorld. On Monday, the first day of classes after Thanksgiving break, all four cheerleaders remained suspended, said Jim Marchiony, KU associate athletic director for public affairs. KU’s Office of Student Affairs is investigating to determine if a violation of the student code occurred, university spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said. She said she could not comment on the status of the investigation. The photo shows three of the suspended cheerleaders, all white males, standing side-by-side in sweaters with the letter “K” for Kansas on the front; the so-called KU ugly holiday sweaters featuring Jayhawks on the arms and championship rings around the middle were sold en masse in the KU Bookstore last December.

Robbery attempts reported over weekend By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A woman was almost robbed at gunpoint in downtown Lawrence this weekend, and two men unsuccessfully tried to rob a business Friday, police say.

Both reported crimes come after police responded to an armed robbery on Thanksgiving. So far, nobody has been arrested in any of the incidents. On Friday night, two men — one a heavyset black man with an average

build and dark clothing, the other a white man of average height wearing a red hooded sweatshirt — entered a business later identified through Lawrence Police Department incident reports as Miller Mart/Glass House

Police arrest suspect following chase, search By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

Officers armed with rifles and aided by police dogs arrested a man after an hourlong search Monday afternoon in the area of West 25th and Louisiana streets. Shortly before 3 p.m., officers saw a man with warrants out for his arrest — later identified as 22-yearold Ant h o n y Deshaune Edwards — in a Edwards gold Toyota SUV near the area of 27th and Iowa streets, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads. When the officer tried to pull the SUV over, Edwards fled, Rhoads said. Lawrence Police Sgt. Kirk Fultz said Edwards may have been armed. After a brief chase, Edwards left the SUV and ran southeast of the intersection of 23rd and Massachusetts streets. Dozens of officers from the Lawrence Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, University of Kansas Office of Public Safety and Kansas Highway Patrol converged on the area

The agencies set up a perimeter from the intersection of West 25th and Louisiana streets, west to Belle Haven Drive and south past Utah Court. Many of the neighborhood’s residents, including children, walked along the sidewalks to see the scene, while others peered through open doors and windows. Because traffic was blocked from heading south along Louisiana Street, long lines of cars

formed sporadically along 25th Street. After 4 p.m., around a dozen officers and one dog surrounded a single-story house at 609 W. 25th St. Communicating with two residents of an apartment inside the house, officers walked around the back of the house, weapons drawn.

County, Ala. He studied at Birmingham-Southern College where he earned a bachelor’s degree in 1954 and a master’s degree in 1957. He began teaching history there in 1960, the same year he married his wife, Judith Berry Tanner. Tanner continued to teach at BirminghamSouthern while working on his Ph.D. in history at the University of Alabama, which he received in 1967. Meanwhile, he rose through the ranks of several administrative positions at BSC and became its president in 1972. He stepped down from the president’s position in 1975 to accept a distinguished professorship position. Tanner came to Baker University in December 1979 and served seven years as the school’s 26th president. After leaving the president’s post in 1987, Tanner remained active in the university and continued to teach. In 1992, Tanner made his first bid for public office when he ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the Douglas County Commission. Two years later, though, he won a seat in the Kansas House in an open race to succeed former Rep. Walker Hendrix. “He was a gentleman,” said Rep. Tom Sloan, RLawrence, who served with Tanner in the House

On Thursday, an approximately 6-foot-tall white man wearing a darkcolored hooded sweatshirt robbed Dollar General, 1811 W. Sixth St., of an undisclosed amount of money after brandishing a weapon, Rhoads said. He then fled, heading east of the business. Rhoads did not respond to follow-up questions asking if the incidents or suspects are connected. On Saturday evening, a woman was robbed at gunpoint as she got out of her vehicle in the 800 block of New Hampshire Street, Rhoads said. The woman told investigators a white man wearing a black hooded sweatshirt approached her from behind and brandished a handgun, Rhoads said. The man’s face was covered by a

red scarf or mask and he demanded the woman’s purse. The woman screamed and ran away, while the suspect ran east without having stolen anything, Rhoads said. Four police officers responded to the scene at 6:49 p.m., activity logs indicate. The suspect has not been found, Rhoads said. As of Monday afternoon, no arrests in the Douglas County Jail booking logs bear an incident number matching any of the reported robberies. Three armed robberies were also reported last month within a single week. Several people were arrested in connection with those reports.

from 1995 through 2002. “He was highly regarded as the Rules Chairman because he was fair. He was soft-spoken and really wanted to improve the state’s contribution to K-12 funding.” The rules chairman in the House is the person who decides points of order and other parliamentary questions. Sloan recalled that when Tanner was called upon to make a ruling, he would stride down to the podium in a formal, dignified pace from his seat near the back of the chamber, “and the others in the chamber would stomp their feet like a procession.” “He loved that,” Sloan said. “He was very much the professor and a gentleman.” Tanner served four terms in the House and rose in the Republican ranks to become chairman of the House Education Committee. Mark Tallman, who lobbies for the Kansas Association of School Boards, remembered Tanner as “extremely intelligent, very erudite. Every inch the college professor and college president. Very witty.” “That was right before and around the first Montoy (school finance) decision,” he said. “It was a period of tight budgets and the usual kind of clashes over school finance.

EDITORIALS

A chance to give back While we’re busy shopping, let’s remember that Giving Tuesday is of immense importance to the success of nonprofits.

arly reports are that the holiday shopping season got off to a strong start: Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday attracted tens of millions of shoppers and billions of retail dollars. That’s good news for the local, state and national economies. But it’s perhaps even more important to deliver strong numbers today, which has become known as Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday came about in 2012, when several technology companies banded together to promote a day in which residents were urged, in the spirit of the holiday season, to give back by donating to or volunteering with charitable causes. The first Tuesday after Thanksgiving was selected as Giving Tuesday, partly in response to the consumer commercialism promoted by the various shopping holidays. The initial partners in the movement included Mashable, Skype, Cisco, Microsoft, Sony and others. Promotion on social media using #GivingTuesday was key to the event from the start. The strategy has worked. The first event raised an estimated $10 million in online donations for charities. By year two, more organizations started participating and donations topped $28 million. Last year, more than $117 million was raised in online donations on #GivingTuesday. Now, #GivingTuesday is nearly as important to nonprofit success as Black Friday and Cyber Monday are to retail success. Nonprofit organizations are vital to the health and well-being of Lawrence. Numerous nonprofit groups are involved in providing food, clothing and shelter to those in need. Dozens more are committed to critical areas such as education, child care, mentoring, health care and hospice. But Rick Palmer of Lawrence’s Ballard Center, which provides early-childhood education for infants to 5-year-olds, said fundraising has become challenging in the wake of the incident involving former Lawrence Mayor Jeremy Farmer. Farmer, the executive director of Just Food from 2011 until his resignation last year, recently pleaded guilty in federal court to stealing thousands of dollars from Just Food, a Lawrence nonprofit whose mission is to feed the hungry. “I think the thing with former Mayor Farmer left the whole community with a bad taste toward nonprofits,” Palmer said. “I’ve been around a long time. I can just sense it.” The incident surrounding Farmer, although unfortunate, shouldn’t stain the community’s nonprofits, including Just Food. Today marks an opportunity for the community to give back, to show nonprofit organizations that Lawrence needs and supports them. One way residents can give today is by helping the Douglas County United Way, which is attempting to raise $3,000 for its community goals of education, health and financial stability. To donate today, simply text UNITED4DGCO to 41444. Donate on #GivingTuesday. During the holiday season, it’s the right thing to do.

Fidel Castro and dead utopianism Washington — With the end of Fidel Castro’s nasty life Friday night, we can hope, if not reasonably expect, to have seen the last of charismatic totalitarians worshiped by political pilgrims from open societies. Experience suggests there will always be tyranny tourists in flight from what they consider the boring banality of bourgeois society and eager for the excitement of sojourns in “progressive” despotisms that they are free to admire and then leave.

“

Socialism is bountiful only of slogans, and a Castro favorite was ‘socialism or death.’”

During the 1930s, there were many apologists for Josef Stalin’s brutalities, which he committed in the name of building a workers’ paradise fit for an improved humanity. The apologists complacently said, “You can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs.” To which George Orwell acidly replied: “Where’s the omelet?” With Castro, the problem was lemonade. Soon after Castro seized power in 1959, Jean-Paul Sartre, the French intellectual whose Stalinist politics were as grotesque as his philosophy was opaque, left Les Deux Magots cafe in Paris to visit Cuba. During a drive, he and Castro stopped at a roadside stand. They were served warm lemonade, which Castro heatedly said “reveals a lack of revolutionary consciousness.” The waitress shrugged, saying the refrigerator was broken. Castro “growled” (Sartre’s approving description): “Tell your people in charge that if they don’t take care

of their problems, they will have problems with me.” Sartre swooned: “This was the first time I understood — still quite vaguely — what I called ‘direct democracy.’ Between the waitress and Castro, an immediate secret understanding was established. She let it be seen by her tone, her smiles, by a shrug of the shoulders, that she was without illusion. And the prime minister ... in expressing himself before her without circumlocution, calmly invited her to join the rebellion.” Another political innovator, Benito Mussolini, called his regime “ennobled democracy,” and as the American columnist Murray Kempton mordantly noted in 1982, photographs of Castro “cutting sugar cane evoke the bare-chested Mussolini plunged into the battle for wheat.” Castro’s direct democracy was parsimonious regarding elections but permissive of shrugs. It did, however, forbid “acts of public destruction,” meaning criticism of communism. This charge condemned Armando Valladares, then 23, to 22 years in Castro’s prisons. Stalin’s terror was too high a price to pay for a great novel, but at least the world got from it Arthur Koestler’s “Darkness at Noon.”

And although Castro’s regime, saturated with sadism, should never have existed, because of it the world got Valladares’s testament to human endurance, his prison memoir “Against All Hope.” Prison food was watery soup laced with glass, or dead rats, or cows’ intestines filled with feces, and Castro’s agents had special uses for the ditch filled with the sewage from 8,000 people. On April 15, 1959, 15 weeks after capturing Havana, Castro, then 32, landed in Washington at what is now Reagan National Airport. He had been in America in 1948, when he studied English and bought a Lincoln. This time, on April 16, in a concession to bourgeois expectations, he dispatched an aide to buy a comb and toothbrush. His connections to communism? “None,” he said. He endorsed a free press as “the first enemy of dictatorship,” and said free elections were coming soon. Then he was off to a Princeton seminar and a lecture in the chapel at Lawrenceville prep school, well received at both places. By July red stars were being painted on Cuban military vehicles. Three years later, Soviet ballistic missiles were arriving. A year after that, a Castro admirer murdered the U.S. president

whose administration had been interested in, indeed almost obsessed with, removing Castro. U.S. flings at “regime change” in distant lands have had, to say no more, uneven results, but the most spectacular futility has been 90 miles from Florida. Castro was the object of various and sometimes unhinged U.S. attempts to remove him. After the Bay of Pigs debacle, the Kennedy administration doubled down with Operation Mongoose, which included harebrained assassination plots and a plan skeptics called “elimination by illumination” — having a U.S. submarine surface in Havana harbor and fire star shells into the night sky to convince Catholic Cubans that the Second Coming had come, causing them to rebel against Castro the anti-Christ. Nevertheless, Castro ruled Cuba during 11 U.S. presidencies and longer than the Soviet Union ruled Eastern Europe. Socialism is bountiful only of slogans, and a Castro favorite was “socialism or death.” The latter came to him decades after the former had made Cuba into a gray museum for a dead utopianism. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Trump needs positive agenda for Latin America We are already seeing signs that Latin America may unite in condemning the United States if President-elect Donald Trump goes ahead with his plans to build a border wall, deport millions of undocumented immigrants, dismantle or renegotiate free-trade deals with Mexico and other countries, and overturn the U.S. normalization with Cuba. Last week, while on a trip to Chile, I already saw some signs that the reaction to Trump’s plans will not come only from the usual suspects — the anti-American autocrats who rule in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Cuba — but also from U.S. allies. Trump’s negative agenda for the region risks antagonizing the entire hemisphere. Former Chilean President Ricardo Lagos, a leader of Chile’s ruling party and a top contender for the 2017 elections, is already calling for a Latin American summit to denounce Trump’s proposed border wall if the U.S. president-elect goes ahead with his plan to dramatically expand the existing fence. “If the proposal to build a wall on the U.S-Mexican border materializes, I propose that we lead a Latin American summit to fight its implementation and protest against it, because it affects us all,” Lagos wrote in the daily El Mercurio. “We must say with strength and clarity that, under these

“

Although every country has the right to deport foreign criminals, the idea of expelling millions of hard-working people who pay taxes is cheap populism, which will hurt rather than help Americans.”

circumstances, we are all Mexicans.” Lagos, a moderate politician who has always denounced anti-American populists, added that Latin Americans should also team up to defend the 2015 Paris climate change accords, which Trump criticized during the campaign. Meanwhile, the foreign ministers of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico met Nov. 21 to map out a joint strategy to confront possible mass deportations by a Trump administration. “For Central America, Trump’s immigration ideas

are a very serious problem,” Mexico’s former foreign minister Jorge Castañeda told me. “They (Central American leaders) want to talk with Mexico because there is a convergence of interests.” Central America would be especially vulnerable to massive U.S. deportations because the region depends heavily on family remittances from its migrants in the United States. In addition, Central American economies would have a hard time absorbing a massive influx of deportees. Peru’s President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, a former U.S. citizen, told the Russia Today news agency on Nov. 11 that “we will oppose by all avenues, including the United Nations,” Trump’s idea to build a border wall. Kuzcynski had told me in a September interview that Trump’s idea of building a border wall was “unfortunate,” and that demanding that Mexico pay for it was “scandalous.” When I asked him whether he was worried about a Trump victory, he said, “no doubt it’s a cause of concern, especially because of the idea of protectionism, of breaking free-trade agreements that have been good for all sides.” Trump has vowed to renegotiate or withdraw from the NAFTA free-trade deal with Mexico and Canada and says he will kill the Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement between

the United States and 11 Asian and Latin American countries, including Peru. My opinion: I still hold some hope — maybe it’s just wishful thinking — that Trump will significantly scale down his plans for the border wall, massive deportations and economic isolationism once he gets to the White House. Although every country has the right to deport foreign criminals, the idea of expelling millions of hardworking people who pay taxes is cheap populism, which will hurt rather than help Americans. If Trump goes ahead with his negative agenda, he will be giving ammunition to Latin America’s beleaguered leftist populist leaders. And he will force pro-American leaders in the region to distance themselves from Washington, whether it’s because they sincerely oppose Trump’s policies or because they will not dare to go against the massive anti-Trump sentiment in their own countries. In either case, if Trump wants to make some friends in this hemisphere, he needs to come up with a positive agenda. If all he has to offer is building a wall, mass deportations and scrapping free-trade deals, much of the region is likely to shift from polite disagreement to strong diplomatic opposition. That would be bad for all sides. — Andres Oppenheimer is a Latin America correspondent for the Miami Herald.

Wichita (ap) — A female student says Kansas State University’s failure to investigate the rape of another woman allowed the same alleged assailant to sexually assault her. The accusations were in court documents filed

in 2014. If the court agrees to add Stroup to the lawsuit, she will be the third woman to sue the university this year over rape allegations. Kansas State said it was reviewing the documents. Jared Ralph Gihring was charged with rape in both cases, and was expelled from the university.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein continued her quest Monday for a recount of the presidential election but was thwarted Monday by the Wisconsin Elections Commission, which rejected her request to require a count by hand. Stein quickly responded that she would sue and also filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania to force a recount there, and her supporters began filing recount requests at the precinct level. Initial results showed Republican Donald Trump ahead of Democrat Hillary Clinton by 70,638 votes. The commission set a timetable Monday for a recount of the presidential election.

Michigan’s Board of Canvassers certified its election results Monday afternoon, showing Trump won the presidential race by a 10,704-vote margin over Clinton. The certification made the election results official, but it also started the 48-hour clock for Stein to seek a recount. Stein, who has raised more than $6.3 million online to pay for recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, she’s not requesting the recounts because she thinks they will change the outcome of the presidential race. Instead, she said in a video on her Facebook page, that she picked the three states where the vote was the closest to ensure the integrity of the election. The Clinton campaign announced Saturday that it will participate in the Wisconsin recount to ensure fairness. Trump called the effort a “scam” aimed at filling the Green Party’s “coffers.” In addition, Trump alleged in a tweet that there was “serious voter fraud” in Virginia, New Hampshire and California and blamed the media for not reporting on it.

An Ohio State student crashed his vehicle into pedestrians on the Columbus campus Monday, then slashed students with a butcher knife before being fatally shot by a university police officer, authorities said. Eleven people were rushed to hospitals and one was in critical condition, according to university Police Chief Craig Stone. The drama began shortly before 10 a.m. ET, when the suspect deliberately drove over a curb and began his attack, Stone said. He said the officer arrived about a minute later and engaged the suspect. “We are very fortunate that an OSUPD officer was there and took quick action,” Stone said. Monica Moll, the university’s public safety director, identified the assailant as Abdul Razak Ali Artan, a student at the school. Multiple media outlets including NBC News and the Associated Press, citing sources who requested anonymity, described him as a

Coral gets ‘cooked’ in dire die-off at Great Barrier Reef Australian scientists sound siren on climate Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

One of the world’s treasures, the Great Barrier Reef, has suffered its worst coral die-off ever recorded, Australian scientists announced Monday. Stress from unusually warm ocean water heated by man-made climate change and the natural El Niño climate pattern caused the die-off. “The coral was cooked,”

Terry Hughes, director of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, told the BBC. At 1,400 miles long, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef and the planet’s biggest structure made by living organisms. In the northernmost section of the reef, which had been considered the most “pristine,” some 67% of the coral died. The good news, scientists said, was that central and southern sections of the reef fared far better, with “only” 6% and 1% of the coral dead, respectively. Coral reefs result from the work of polyps, creatures only a

few millimeters long, budded on top of one another. Over centuries, their shells combine to form the exotic shapes of coral reefs. The vibrant colors that draw thousands of tourists to the Great Barrier Reef each year come from algae living in the coral’s tissue. When water temperatures become too high, coral becomes stressed and expels the algae, leaving the coral a bleached white color. Mass coral bleaching was never observed before the 1980s, as global warming ramped up. Reefs also shelter land from storms and are a habitat for myriads of species. “Coral reefs are therefore the

If all of its coral died, “it would be among the largest mass extinction events in history,” Torda said.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

The small-company Russell 2000 stock index did something Monday it hadn’t done since Nov. 3: finish down for the day. The dip into the red marked the end of a 15-session winning streak — tying a feat last achieved in 1996 and marking only the fifth time in its history it has gone that many trading sessions without a loss. During the hot streak, the small-fry stock index rallied 16.5%, its best-ever performance in winning streaks that stretched 15 days or longer, according to Bespoke Investment Group. So now that the big rally is over for small-cap stocks, are the good times over? History says the Russell 2000 might still have some

gas left in the tank despite its heady run, which gained strength after Election Day when Donald Trump’s surprise win and his “America First” policy proposals created a tailwind for the domestic-focused small-company stock index. A week after the four prior winning streaks of 15 days or more since 1979 (the record was 19 trading days in 1985) the Russell 2000 was up 1%, on average. A month later it was up 2.4% and higher all four times. After a small consolidation three months out, which saw gains of just 0.9%, the Russell 2000 was up solidly six months later, with average gains of 6.3%. Bespoke Investment Group’s takeaway? “It certainly has been a strong month for small caps, but if prior experience is any guide, further gains (although less hefty) may be in the cards.”

Castro’s death boosts fund tied to Cuba’s fortunes Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Some investors are betting on better economic ties between the U.S. and Cuba after the death of longtime Cuban leader Fidel Castro, pushing up shares of a fund with the ticker symbol CUBA that would benefit from a resumption of trade between the two countries. The nearly 11% jump Monday of closed-end fund Herzfeld Caribbean Basin Fund (CUBA)

ORLANDO BARRIA, EPA

The U.S. trade embargo with Cuba remains in force.

comes despite tough talk from President-elect Donald Trump that suggests a continuation of

the chilly relationship between the two countries. The rally signals hope that Fidel Castro’s death will pave the way for better U.S.-Cuba relations and create opportunity for U.S. companies. On Dec. 17, 2014, President Obama announced the U.S. would restore diplomatic relations with Cuba for the first time since the early 1960s, ease restrictions on U.S. travel to Cuba and chip away at some U.S.-imposed economic sanctions. As a result, Carnival Corp. was able to launch its first cruise to

Cuba, and Starwood Hotels became the first U.S. hotel brand to operate in Cuba. The U.S. trade embargo to Cuba remains in force and would need to be rescinded by Congress. Trump, however, after Castro’s death, has taken a hard line, calling Castro a “brutal dictator.” Despite persistent roadblocks to reviving economic opportunity in the island nation of 11 million, investors in search of a Cuban investment play found one in Herzfeld Caribbean Basin Fund. The fund, which doesn’t invest in Cuban companies, owns stocks it be-

lieves are poised to benefit from economic, political and technological developments there. “We are in a new era, a new beginning,” Thomas Herzfeld, chairman of Thomas Herzfeld Advisors and head of its Cuba Division, told USA TODAY. “The entire (Cuban) country has to be rebuilt. Construction. Infrastructure. Banking. Travel and tourism. There is a huge opportunity.” U.S. stocks in the Herzfeld Caribbean Basin Fund, as of June 30, include Spirit Airlines, infrastructure giant MasTec and cruise operator Royal Caribbean Cruises.

Dear Annie: It’s almost the holidays, and I’m excited to spend time with extended family. But there’s one thing I’m never sure how to deal with. I’m vegan, and the rest of my family is not. That wouldn’t be a problem, except every time I have dinner with them, my aunts, uncles and elder cousins have a laundry list of questions for me: “Why are you vegan?” “What’s wrong with dairy?” “How do you get protein?” I’m perfectly fine with the fact that my family members eat meat, and I wouldn’t question them about it or pressure them. Yet they put me in an uncomfortable position, as I feel awkward talking about why I find it cruel to eat meat while they’re in the middle of enjoying their meal.

Dear Annie

I’ve told them, “No, it will gross everyone out.” And they insist they want to know and can handle it. Is there anything I can politely say to prevent a game of 20 questions this year, or do I just need to suck it up? — Tired of Talking About This Dear Vegan: They’re asking, so you shouldn’t feel guilty for giving them answers. I think these conversations will feel less tiresome

Remini dishes on Scientology What happens when a TV star embarks on a crusade? The new series “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath” (9 p.m., A&E) continues the actress’s efforts to shed light on a belief system that she once espoused. Famed for her work on “The King of Queens,” Remini was an active, public proponent of Scientology until her 2013 departure from the organization. She will use “Aftermath” to tell her story and interview former members of the organization about physical and psychological abuse, sexual improprieties and violent acts by those at the top of the church’s hierarchy. Tom Cruise, the most public face of Scientology, can be seen in the 1986 flag-waver “Top Gun” (6:30 p.m., MTV Classic). He also appears on “The Late Late Show With James Corden.’’ l Folk music troubadour Burl Ives lent his voice to a friendly snowman to narrate the 1964 Rankin-Bass production of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” (7 p.m., CBS, a holiday favorite for more than 50 years. More than most Christmas specials, “Rudolph” put a special emphasis on individualism and nonconformity. It celebrated a freak of nature, an Island of Misfit Toys and a character who was born an elf but identified as a dentist. l Letty tries to visit her son on “Good Behavior” (8 p.m., TNT). For the uninitiated, this series stars Michelle Dockery as a recently released convict, a thief and con artist whose efforts to go straight collide with very bad choices. Most know Dockery as the posh and superior Lady Mary from ‘‘Downton Abbey,’’ so this transformation to an American-accented grifter may come as a shock. She’s not the only “Downton” character to break loose. Penelope Wilton, who played Mary’s do-gooder mother-in-law Isobel Crawley, has a fun role in the 2016 U.K. series “Brief Encounters,” now streaming on Acorn. Set in a depressed factory town in 1983, the show follows an unlikely band of women who find fellowship, friendship and a tidy income selling intimate lingerie and sex toys to bored and curious housewives. Tonight’s other highlights

l Live eliminations on “The

Voice” (7 p.m., NBC). l A European king (Rupert Penry-Jones) falls in love with his daughter’s governess (Danica McKellar) in the 2015 romance “Crown for Christmas” (7 p.m., Hallmark). Made, one supposes, for people who can’t quite remember the plot to “The Sound of Music.” l Post-Thanksgiving decompression on “This Is Us” (8 p.m., NBC).

once you let go of the fear of offending them. They’re simply curious. Give thanks for the opportunity to share something you’re passionate about with receptive relatives. Dear Annie: My closest friend has decided to have a destination wedding, which is causing me some degree of anguish. We have to spend $3,500 for a weekend to share this moment, and this is expected from me because of our close relationship. I would like not to attend, but I am sure that this would mean a significant change in, if not the end of, my relationship with my friend. For the record, I am a man, and my friend is a woman.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Nov. 29: This year you’ll want to clarify matters involving your home and/ or domestic life. If you are single, you could be particularly reactive to potential sweeties. If you are attached, the two of you might greet your first child if you are at the right phase in life. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) HHHH You could be attempting to gain a new perspective about an unclear situation. Tonight: Read between the lines. Taurus (April 20-May 20) HHHHH A decision from a loved one has taken a long time to come forward. Respond accordingly. Tonight: Work with an associate. Gemini (May 21-June 20) HHH Others are challenging, and they know it. Try to get a little insight. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s request. Cancer (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your steadiness of purpose mixed with your moodiness makes quite a combination. Tonight: Curb spending. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH A partner or loved one seems to be quite confused by your actions, and might become testy. Tonight: Go for the impossible. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might be in tune

ticality? — Debt-stination Wedding Dear Debt: No, this isn’t a gender thing. According to the most recent American Express survey data, the average guest will spend $673 on a wedding. That your friend is asking you to spend over five times that is absurd. Tell her that you consider her one of your closest friends and want to be there for her big day but that you just can’t afford it. It’s unfortunate, but she should expect that some people won’t be able to make such an expensive trip. If she stops being friends with you over that, she wasn’t too good of a friend to begin with. — Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

with a partner, but not with a boss. You realize that a stressful situation is evolving. Tonight: Expect to be a prominent force. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH A partner who always seems to be full of surprises won’t disappoint you. Tonight: Quality time with a loved one. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Be sensible with your finances. You could be overly tired and withdrawn. Tonight: Touch base with a family member. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Examine possibilities more openly than you have in the past. You might be overly serious right now. Tonight: Be spontaneous. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH One person after another seems to be creating some uproar, especially in your domestic life. Tonight: Make it private. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You might not be as clear as you could be about a money matter. You will make the first move in a difficult, awkward situation. Tonight: Only what you want. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Listen to a boss more carefully, as he or she has a lot of knowledge and experience that you’ll want to tap into.

The Eudora City Commission dealt Monday with a number of parks-related issues, including the approval of staff’s effort to hire a design firm for a proposed south sports complex. At its first November meeting, commissioners directed city staff to work with a design team headed by VSR Design, of Overland Park, on a scope of services and fees for the design of a sports complex. The field complex, which will be needed to replace soccer and football fields lost with any future development of the old Nottingham Elementary School, is to be built on school district property between Eudora Middle School and High School. The school district has agreed to allow the city to develop the property at no cost. Assistant to the City Manager Leslie Herring said from meetings with VSR representatives, it

was agreed the design contract would require a topographical survey. With that, the designers could develop a schematic design for the complex. That work would require VSR to develop “two or three” site plans with conceptual grading, floor plans and elevations for a restroom shelter building as well as playground and trail options. Additionally, the design team would be asked to present their plans in a way the city could use for fundraising and update cost estimates for constructing the complex. Herring said VSR estimates the maximum cost for those services to be about $24,000. That cost assumes the fields would have artificial turf surfaces and lighting. Should those elements be eliminated, the design price tag would be cut. Also contributing to the design cost is the size and amenities in a concession stand, she said. City Manager Barack Matite said VSR under-

stood the schematic design would be the extent of the design team’s work until the city found the money to pay for the complex’s construction. The city is looking for private donations and corporate sponsorships to help with that expense. Only when construction funding was identified would a contract be considered for the final design phases, Matite said. In addition to a proposed contract, he would present commissioners at their Dec. 12 meeting with a revenue report on the city’s threequarter-cent parks and recreation sales tax, which will pay for VSR’s design contract, Matite said. Mayor Tim Reazin said he and Commissioner Ruth Hughs met last week with a Eudora school board member and Superintendent Steve Splichal. Mutual maintenance of the complex the school district would use was discussed, as well as a formal agreement ensuring the city’s right to use the property, he said.

The commission also accepted the transfer of about an acre parcel of land at 15th and Maple streets that could become a future park. Herring said the now-defunct Grand Addition Homeowners Association Inc. owned the property for about the last 15 years. It was set aside for future green space development but nothing was ever done other than a sidewalk around its north, west and south sides. The city has been maintaining the parcel and approached the officers in the former association, who were pleased to deed the property at no cost for use in the city’s park system. Herring said work would be required to remove trees and clean fill from three culverts serving an onsite detention pond at the property. City crews would be able to do the work, she said. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166. Follow him on Twitter: @ElvynJ

2 injured in 4-car wreck at 27th Street, K-10 By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A mother and her child were injured Monday morning in a four-car accident at the intersection of 27th Street and Kansas Highway 10, troopers said. Shortly before 10 a.m., one vehicle, eastbound on K-10, rear-ended an eastbound Mazda SUV as traffic slowed near the stoplight at 27th Street, said Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Dan Wills. The intersection is northeast of Lawrence’s Youth Sports Complex. The Mazda, in turn, hit the vehicle directly in front of it, Wills said. During the

Four wins best bet for KU football in 2017

inally, legitimate signs of progress showed up in the final fourth of the 2016 season for a Kansas football program running in place — last place, to be precise — for so long. Improving the record from 0-12 to 2-10 doesn’t supply the best evidence that Kansas has reached the bottom and is on the way up, however slowly. A better indication: Kansas went 1-2 against its final foes, Iowa State, Texas and Kansas State, with an average score of Opponents 29, Kansas 22. A year ago, against the same three schools, the numbers were Opponents 47, Kansas 16. Even the decline of the Longhorns and playing one more of those games in Lawrence can’t explain KU losing by an average of 31 points a year ago and seven points this season. That’s bona fide progress. Now, what must Kansas do to take an even bigger step next season? Glad you asked. Step 1: Make sure the defensive staff stays in place. If that means giving a significant raise to linebackers coach Todd Bradford, then give him one. Back in coaching after a four-year hiatus, Bradford instantly clicked with defensive coordinator Clint Bowen and did a remarkable job of coaching up platoons of linebackers after starters Joe Dineen and Marcquis Roberts were lost for the season to injuries. Cornerbacks coach Kenny Perry’s Texas recruiting contacts make him a coach other staffs might want to poach as well. Michael Slater, KU’s third defensive line coach in three seasons, developed a good rapport with the program’s two best players, end Dorance Armstrong Jr. and tackle Daniel Wise, and must be retained. Even with the offense turning it over more than a year ago, KU allowed 104.6 fewer yards and 8.8 fewer points per game than in 2015. Step 2: Hire an offensive coordinator, either from within Beaty’s current staff or from the outside. Whispers suggest the most likely scenario involves Beaty gaining approval to hire an Air Raid OC from outside the program to run an offense that junior-college transfer Peyton Bender, who plans to enroll at the semester break, is expected

KANSAS GUARD LAGERALD VICK (2) drives against Georgia guard Jordan Harris (2) during the second half Tuesday, Nov. 22, during the championship game of the CBE Classic at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

Starting role gives KU’s Vick a boost of confidence By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Coming off a freshman year in which he played just 91 minutes in 19 games, Kansas guard Lagerald Vick said Monday that he had no idea he would be quite this comfortable nearly this quickly during his second season with the Jayhawks. Last week, that cozy feeling — along with his overall production — landed Vick in the starting lineup for KU’s victory over UNC Asheville and he’ll be there again at 7

tonight when the Jayhawks (5-1) play host to Long Beach State (1-7) at Allen Fieldhouse. “That helped me,” said Vick of earning the start. “I’m still kind of figuring out things but that definitely gave me a bigger lift. I feel pretty comfortable now. I’m just listening to Frank (Mason III) and Devonté (Graham) and the guys that have done these things before.” Kansas coach Bill Self called Vick “a pleasant surprise but not a shock,” and emphasized that he was in

the starting lineup, at least for now, as much because of the shortcomings of others as his own strengths. With starting forwards Landen Lucas and Carlton Bragg Jr., struggling out of the gate, Self has gone to the four-guard lineup to start games, with Vick and freshman 7-footer Udoka Azubuike filling the spots once held by Lucas and Bragg. “I don’t know that that’s our perfect lineup moving forward,” Self said. “It may be. I don’t know yet. I think he’s prepared to have a good

year and it doesn’t surprised me how well he’s done.” Through six games, Vick ranks fourth on the team with an 8.7 points-per-game average and also is second in both rebounds per game (5.5) and offensive rebounds (11). He’s shooting a teambest .857 from the free throw line and .477 from the floor, including a mark of just .235 from 3-point range.

Lions readying for winter sports seasons with big expectations By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

When the calendar flipped past Thanksgiving, it was just another sign that the winter sports season was nearing at Lawrence High. All of the teams will begin play within the next week. Here is a look at all of the Lions’ winter sports programs:

Boys basketball Some of the usual faces that helped Lawrence High’s boys basketball team earn back-to-back trips to the Class 6A state tournament are gone but expectations remain high. The Lions, who had a 22-3 record last season, only return one starter: senior guard Jackson Mallory. Then there’s several players who have varsity

experience, including seniors Kobe Buffalomeat, Austin Miller and Braden Solko, and sophomore Noah Butler. “We like our guys,” said coach Mike Lewis, who is one victory away from his 100th at the school. “They will take some time to gel and understand their roles, but we have very coachable kids who put the team before themselves, and I know they are excited about getting better each week. We have good energy in our gym and our guys push each other to get better.” The Lions will enter the season ranked 10th in the KBCA preseason coaches poll and they hope to receive a strong contribution from junior Anthony Selden. “We have been at our best the last three to four seasons because we can lean on

each other and not put all the weight on just a couple of players,” Lewis said. The Lions will open against Topeka High at 7 p.m. Friday at LHS.

Tiger getting back to the swing of things this week By Doug Ferguson AP Golf Writer

Nassau, Bahamas (ap) — Tiger Woods has gone through two back surgeries since he last played a golf tournament 15 months ago. He had another back surgery that knocked him out of the Masters for the first time in 2014. He had four knee surgeries before that. None of that matters to Ernie Els when Woods returns to competition this week. Els is more curious about what’s going on in his head. “The talent’s there. It’s been proven. It doesn’t go away,” Els said. “It’s what you think of yourself. It’s what you think where you are. We look at this great player, but he’s not seeing the same stuff in his own mind. A lot of us are like that. When you’ve achieved as much as he has ... it’s a shock to the system not to play as good Woods as you have been. To look at other people looking at you like, ‘Hey, you’re not the same guy,’ that’s hard to take.” Els, perhaps more than any other player, has a deep golfing connection with Woods. He was the player Woods sought out 20 years ago at Royal Lytham & St. Annes when deciding whether to turn pro. They had so many meaningful battles, and Woods almost always got the better of him. Els was runner-up to Woods seven times, the most of any player. Els designed the Albany golf course where Woods comes back from the longest layoff of his career. He plans to be in the Bahamas, and he is as eager as anyone else to see how a guy who won 79 times on the PGA Tour, including 14 majors, stacks up against a generation that grew up in awe of how Woods played golf. The Hero World Challenge is a holiday tournament with an 18-man field and no cut. Even so, it commands as much attention as any tournament this year. Woods has been a star attraction his entire career, and the appetite is even stronger after an absence that dates to Aug. 23, 2015. “I can’t wait to watch, either, just to see him play,” Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III said. “The last time I saw him play, I won. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. I’ve seen his swing. I’ve seen him on video. He’s sent me clips, and I’ve heard the description of how he feels. I’m excited to see him play.” “You’ve got to start somewhere,” he added. “And I want to see the start.” Woods already has had one false start. He signed up to play the Safeway Open, only to pull out three days later because he said he felt “vulnerable.” That followed a week as assistant captain at the Ryder Cup, and cramming in practice the week before with results that made him want to wait. Love won the Wyndham Championship last year in August at age 51, and it could easily have served as a model for Woods — a power player no longer in his prime, not among the biggest hitters anymore, but with enough experience and talent to find a way to score and to win. “It has to motivate him that Vijay Singh is lasting until 53, that Ernie is still competitive, that Davis is still competitive,” Love said. “He knows Jack Nicklaus won the Masters in 1986 playing part-time. He knows what everybody has done. I know he’s working hard not to come back and be average. He wants to come back and win again.”

Teammates, coach weigh in on Landen Lucas’ struggles By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas senior center Landen Lucas hasn’t been brought to recent media-availability sessions, which generally are reserved for players who aren’t battling slumps, so the “What’s wrong with Landen?” questions have fallen to others to answer. One theory offered Monday to coach Bill Self was that Lucas misses playing alongside Perry Ellis. “I don’t know. I can’t say that. I think playing alongside Perry helped, but I also think playing alongside Landen helped Perry,” Self said. “I don’t read into that. Landen’s going to be fine.” Referees are calling certain fouls in the post that they used to let go because of a new emphasis on existing rules. Quick fouls have been Lucas’ undoing. He is averaging 8.2 personal fouls per 40 minutes (22 fouls in 107 minutes). He also

fouls per 40 minutes as as sophomore and 5.5 as a junior. “He just hasn’t played as well as he’s

capable of playing yet, but he will,” Self said. “And when he does, and that’s what I told our guys yesterday, when he does, our team is going to get a lot better fast. And I said the same about Carlton (Bragg Jr.). We’re not going to be able to go through a year playing four guards all the time. We need to be able to play two bigs and count on those two bigs and we’ll get there.” Self said he has talked to both struggling big men, but is not taking on the role of emotional cheerleader and is pretty much talked out. “I do think that it’s a matter of fact: ‘You can do this. You’ve shown you can do this. Now, what do we need to do to get you to do this?’ as opposed to a pep talk about doing it,” Self said. “They know. They’re smart. They know what they need to do.” Self added that Bragg played better in the most

recent game, vs. UNCAsheville, and said he “had an unbelievable practice (Sunday), so that was a big positive.” Bragg also has reached two personal fouls quickly on a consistent basis and has been whistled 18 times in 105 minutes, a rate of 6.9 fouls per 40 minutes. Devonté Graham again answered the Lucas question after KU’s blowout victory against UNCAsheville. “I think it’s just a little funk that you go through, some things not going right, not as energetic or into the game, then he’ll get frustrated with himself just because he made a bad play or got a dumb foul and now he’s got to sit out,” Graham said. “I’ve said it before: He’ll be all right.” Sophomore Lagerald Vick took the question Monday afternoon. “Landen can be up and down,” Vick said. “He’s a good player off the court

and on the court. I take tips from him as well. Landen’s pretty good.” But he has been better, and if his coach is right, Lucas will return to form. The fact that Lucas has played the identical number of minutes this season as he did all of his freshman year, many of them coming in garbage time, makes for an interesting, if unscientific, comparison. Season FG-FGA FT-FTA Reb. Blk Pts. Fr. 12-21 10-20 30 7 34 Sr. 11-21 5-8 25 5 27

Again, the comparison is flawed because as a redshirt freshman, many of his minutes came against reserves from teams getting blown out by Kansas. Forty-nine of this year’s minutes came vs. Indiana and Duke. Still, the numbers do show that Lucas temporarily has lost some of his aggressiveness. Struggling with refs’ new interpretation of existing rules likely has played at least a part in that.

Beach State’s tough early-season schedule got the Jayhawks’ attention, sophomore Vick answered with a single word: “Definitely.” Eight games into the 2016-17 season, 1-7 LBSU has played just once at home while playing and losing at Wichita State, at North Carolina, at Louisville, at UCLA and at Washington. The other two games away from home — both losses — came at Florida Gulf Coast’s home gym, where the 49ers lost to FGCU and Binghamton. “I’m gonna talk to (LBSU coach Dan) Monson about that when he gets here,” Self said. “I don’t know what he’s doing ... They’ve only played one home game and that was the first game of the season. You watch, he doesn’t have a good non-conference record, but is probably the third most talented team we’ve played and they’ll be the team that’s favored to go to the NCAA Tournament because they’re favored to win their league.”

Jayhawks move up to 4th After opening the season at No. 3 in the AP poll and falling to No. 7 after a season-opening loss to Indiana, the Jayhawks have climbed their way back into the Top 4. KU is ranked fourth in this week’s poll, up one spot from No. 5 a week ago. Heading up the poll in front of Kansas are Kentucky (40 first-place votes), Villanova (20) and North Carolina (4). Duke rounds out the Top 5, while Big 12 foe Baylor (6-0) received the final first-place vote and jumped from No. 20 to No. 9 after wins over Michigan State and Louisville. Jackson honored again Kansas freshman Josh Jackson on Monday earned Big 12 newcomer of the week honors for the second week in a row. Named the MVP of last week’s CBE Classic, Jackson averaged 18.5 points and 9 rebounds in Kansas victories over UAB and Georgia.

THREE KEYS FOR KANSAS

Low post scoring

Free-throw shooting

With just one player on the Long Beach State roster standing taller than 6-foot-8, this could be a good game for the Jayhawks to get right in the area of low post scoring. With Landen Lucas and Carlton Bragg struggling so far this season, look for KU coach Bill Self to emphasize giving his big guys some quality touches in the paint — at least temporarily — early in this one to see if they can get their confidence going. Add to that duo the presence of 7-foot center Udoka Azubuike, who will be making his second consecutive start, and this could be a big night for KU’s big men, provided they’re up to the challenge of executing when their numbers are called.

The 49ers are averaging 25 fouls per game as a team, which means Kansas could spend a good chunk of this game looking to score from the free-throw line. That becomes especially true if the KU big men assert themselves in the paint and force the 49ers to foul to stop them. Just one Kansas opponent has committed as many as 25 fouls in a single game this season — Indiana hammered the ’Hawks 31 times in the opener — and the five other KU opponents have committed an average 18 fouls per game. Given Long Beach State’s propensity to foul and KU’s struggles at the free-throw line, the Jayhawks’ touch at the line could be a factor in this one.

Win in transition

KU sophomore Lagerald Vick mentioned transition offense and defense when asked Monday what one of the big keys to beating Long Beach State would be. But that appears to hold a little more weight on defense than anywhere else. Long Beach State is averaging 17.1 turnovers per game and has shown it can get sped up and out of control from time to time. Creating turnovers should be a point of emphasis for the Jayhawks tonight. Despite forcing an average of 14.5 turnovers per game by their first six opponents, Kansas could challenge its season-high total of 20 turnovers by UAB and likely will be emphasizing turning the 49ers over after forcing just eight UNC Asheville giveaways last Friday night. — Matt Tait

JAYHAWK PULSE After a breakneck pace to start the 2016-17 season, the Jayhawks finally got a few days of rest following their easy victory over UNC Asheville last Friday night. After taking Saturday off and returning to a normal practice schedule Sunday and Monday, Self said he thought the Jayhawks had recovered from the treacherous early-season travel schedule. That should only continue through the rest of the year, as the Jayhawks do not have more than

two games a week through the start of the Big 12 schedule. That will allow Kansas to do more practicing, work on areas that are deemed concerns and spend more time settling into a true identity. “I think we’re gaining toward developing an identity,” Self said. “But I don’t think that’s happened yet. I probably thought we’d be further along on that point. What I’ve learned is we’re a long ways from being where we need to be.” — Matt Tait

Savanah Carter gave William Carey an early 1-0 lead in the sixth minute, but the Lady Crusaders were not able to build on their lead despite outshooting the Wildcats, 9-7, in the first half.

The Wildcats (16-3-3) found an equalizer in the 57th minute when senior Katie Hibbeler found the back of the net on an assist from senior Keeley Atkin. Atkin then drilled home the game-winner into the upper 90 in the 76th minute to send the Wildcats to the NAIA quarterfinals for the first time since 2011. Baker will take on Heart of America Athletic Conference foe Benedictine at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday with a trip to the Final Four on the line. No. 12 Benedictine (20-3) defeated No. 5 Mobile (Ala.), 5-2, in the second round.

all year so we need to get them into shape and ready for the challenges of the season.” The Lions will start the year in the Free State quadrangular at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Boys swimming Lawrence’s boys swimming and diving team finished eighth at state last year — the school’s best

finish since 2002. The Lions, hoping to follow a similar path of success, will be led by Stephen Johnson, Alex Heckman, Patrick Oblon, Dylan Bierschbach, Noah Kucza, Brian Myers, and divers Anton Martinez and Patrick Steinbach. “We have several top swimmers returning who will place high for LHS in (Sunflower) League and state,” 11th-year coach Kent McDonald said. “We also have a very large team, largest since I have been coaching. We should be able to develop

some swimmers from this group who will make a positive impact on our team.” Some of the swimmers that the Lions hope develop into strong swimmers includes Ross Lutzkanin and Chase Root. The only negative to the start of the season is the large number of swimmers makes it difficult to practice. “Managing the large team in a six-lane pool is an immediate issue,” McDonald said. “We have very few swimmers and divers who trained

Wrestling One of the youngest wrestling lineups in the Sunflower League last year is a little bit older and whole lot more experienced. After placing seventh at the league meet, the Lions return some of

the their top wrestlers: Tucker Wilson, Santino Gee, Melle Dye and Kevin Nichols. Gee is ranked fourth at 170 pounds by the Kansas Wrestling Coaches Association and Wilson is sixth at 190. Along with those returners, LHS coach Pat Naughton believes there’s plenty of talent from up-and-comers Stanley Holder, Alden Hunt, Tori Grammer and Jay Cheatham. LHS opens in the Leavenworth Tournament at 9 a.m. Saturday.

Kinner) and six from the defense (linebacker Roberts, cornerbacks Marnez Ogletree and Brandon Stewart, safety Fish Smithson, nickelback Tevin Shaw and one defensive end position shared by seniors Damani Mosby, Anthony Olobia and Cameron Rosser). Running backs suffer injuries at such a high rate that the staff might want to use one of its remaining scholarships to shore up this position. Freshman Khalil Herbert showed the most promise, rushing for 189 yards and three touchdowns with an average of 4.3 yards per carry. He missed time with a toe injury. Taylor Martin

averaged 3.6 yards, gained 324 yards and rushed for four touchdowns. Arkansas transfer Denzell Evans rushed just 16 times and averaged 1.8 yards per carry. Deron Thompson totaled 30 carries in two seasons at Colorado State and averaged 4.5 yards per rush. He sat out this past season, as is required of transfers who have not yet graduated. Dominic Williams, a three-star high school recruit from Dallas, could be ready to play right away. An extra year in the weight room should lead to improvement from an offensive line that played better in the final weeks of the season.

Alabama transfer Daylon Charlot brightens the outlook at wide receiver. Defensively, the secondary needs the most help. It’s possible receiver Emmanuel Moore could switch to safety, where returning starter Mike Lee had a terrific freshman season and classmate Bryce Torneden showed promise. A bounce-back junior season from Tyrone Miller Jr. would help. Shaquille Richmond can play his way into the mix, as well. Cornerback is an even bigger area of concern. Brandon Stewart had a strong senior season and will be difficult to replace. Three players who spent their first seasons

as redshirts (Shola Ayinde, Julian Chandler and Ian Peterson) will compete for spots. Ayinde underwent ACL surgery before the season and “looked amazing,” in his recovery in October, according to Beaty. Even so, it’s the toughest of all positions for athletes recovering from ACL surgeries. Peterson has the speed to play the position, but didn’t appear to be as polished as Chandler in practice. Perry landed Hasan Defense from Texas juco powerhouse Kilgore and he projects as a starter. Converted receiver Derrick Neal has one year of eligibility remaining and high school recruit Robert Topps

from Chicago will have a chance to compete for snaps in the defensive backfield. Still, cornerback remains the No. 1 priority for this recruiting class. Kyle Mayberry’s playing time as a freshman was limited, but he projects as the lead candidate to win the nickelback job. KU opens the 2017 season with a pair of home games vs. Southeast Missouri State (Sept. 2) and Central Michigan (Sept. 9). The Jayhawks then will visit Ohio University. Given projected improvements at quarterback and offensive coordinator, anything less than a doubling of the victory total to four would come as a disappointment.

we handle that will determine how far this group can go.” Stafford, a first-team all-Sunflower League selection, tore a ligament in her knee at the end of last season but opened the season on the court with her teammates. Lawrence will play host to Topeka at 5:30 p.m. Friday.
