Incoming Kansas Senate to have no licensed attorneys By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — State Sen. David Haley will be in a unique position next year. It’s not one that he ever wanted, and one he says will be personally daunting.

When the 2017 Legislature is sworn into office Jan. 9, Haley, a Kansas City Democrat, will be the only member of the Kansas Senate with a law degree. And even he is not a licensed, practicing attorney because he allowed

his license to lapse more than 20 years ago when he was pursuing a different career. “As many people realize, Kansas has never had this happen before,” Haley said. “There’s always been a practicing attorney or

licensed attorney.” Researchers in the Kansas State Library confirmed this past week that since Kansas became a state in 1861, there has never been a time when there were no licensed attorneys in the Senate. But the 2017

session will put an end to that streak. And that could present problems for an institution whose very purpose is to write and amend laws.

“If you live outside Douglas County, you know about Douglas County re-entry,” he said. “If you live in Douglas County, you have no idea what we are doing out there. We get calls from all over the country almost monthly about our re-entry program or the mental health services we provide here at the jail.” Brouwer takes pride in the reputation of the program the Douglas County Jail started in 2008 as one of two pilot programs in the nation funded through a grant program. Reno County is 1 of 7 Kansas counties — in addition to eight jurisdictions from outside the state — that Brouwer and his staff have provided training and assistance as they looked to start their own programs. That pride is tempered with the knowledge the program could be better, and at one point was. Perhaps the statistic that best illustrates that point is that more than half the Douglas County inmates who have been deemed eligible to participate in the re-entry program can no longer access it. The reason: The county is forced to house those inmates in area jails due to a space shortage at the Douglas County Jail. “One of the things I was slow to talk about with the jail’s population increase was that we’ve put all this time and resources into this re-entry program and right now half the people eligible for re-entry and case management are housed out of the county,” Brouwer said. County officials have said that area jails insist that Douglas County ship

Donovan explores rape and other sex crimes of the early 1900s in his new book, “Respectability on Trial: Sex Crimes in New York City, 19001918.” The book, which came out in October, is based on Donovan’s research of thousands of pages of court transcripts archived at New York City’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Donovan concludes that rape victims today face a lot of the same sociological hurdles they did then. “Currently there is such a big gap between the number of incidents of rape and the number that are reported and the number that make it to trial,” Donovan said, “and that’s certainly true in the turn of the century.” He said assumptions about how women should behave — especially in the post-Victorian decades — made it more difficult to convict men of sex crimes. Defense attorneys and jurors questioned women they did not perceive as physically fighting back hard enough, and tried to paint them as previously promiscuous or morally unchaste to undermine the credibility of their rape claims. Also, poor people were viewed as more culpable than their wealthy counterparts. “Rape culture still prevents justice from being served,” Donovan said. “These kind of cultural considerations about who is a good victim still shape the way rape prosecutions proceed.” Donovan first discovered John Jay College’s trove of transcripts while researching a case for his 2006 book, “White Slave

its best behaved prisoners to their facilities. Those often are the same inmates that qualify for the re-entry program. Improving access to the re-entry program is expected to be one of the selling points for an estimated $30 million, 120-bed expansion of the Douglas County Jail expansion once it is formally proposed, most likely in 2017. The project, though, will require public financing, and likely will require some public convincing. Already some groups have expressed opposition to the idea, instead urging the county to focus more on reducing inmate totals and build a crisis intervention center, which the county also has proposed.

Building space, building trust County officials are hopeful that programs like the re-entry program will help voters understand that expanding the jail isn’t just about adding space to keep inmates locked up. The proposed expansion of the Douglas County Jail would get the re-entry program back to its previous level and beyond, Brouwer said. Among the expansion’s features is a plan to relocate the 28-bed male minimum security pod from the jail’s third floor to the ground floor. Off that new pod, the expansion would add re-entry pods that would house 28 male beds and 14 female beds. Brouwer and Sherry Gill, programs director for Douglas County Corrections, said the new stepped-down dormitory-style re-entry pods would provide an environment for more effective re-entry programming and the use of specific programming for targeted populations. It also would make it easier to serve those prisoners

Crusades: Race, Gender, and Anti-vice Activism, 1887-1917.” For his new book, he set out to retrieve all the collection’s sex crime transcripts, ultimately collecting and reading transcripts from 75 cases totaling about 16,000 pages, he said. The crimes therein fell into four categories, each given a section in “Respectability on Trial”: first-degree rape, seduction, forced prostitution and sodomy. Although the sodomy cases were mostly men having sex with other men, Donovan said, victims in the other cases were overwhelmingly poor European female immigrants who needed interpreters in court because they did not speak English. Of all 75 cases, only a couple ever made the news. “There are scholars that look at some of the more sensational or popular trials at the turn of the century,” Donovan said. “What I think is fascinating about these trials is that they are of ordinary New Yorkers. So you can get a glimpse into the life of typically lower-class immigrants that you can’t get through other documents.” lll

The first-degree rape cases Donovan examined usually involved heavy force, injuries and even multiple assailants. In his book he writes that “winnable” rape prosecutions at the time required third-party evidence, testimony of extreme violence, proof that the victim physically fought her attacker — and verification of her previous chastity, either physical or moral. “The standards for first-degree rape were so high, especially in New York City, during

who are supposed to have access to the program. The reason so many are denied the opportunity is the surge in the jail’s population the county started to experience four years ago. That surge increased the county’s incarceration rate of 1.8 people per 1,000 residents to 2 per 1,000 and has forced the county to look beyond the jail’s walls to house inmates. The transfer of inmates to the jails of six area counties is an expensive solution to overcrowding that will have cost the county $1 million in 2016. It also can also deprive inmates of family visits and communication with attorneys. Perhaps most importantly, it also means they aren’t forming relationships with case managers. “The two greatest predictors of successful reentry are participants establishing relationships with case managers and the dosage of cognitive behavioral therapy they receive — the number of classes they sit in, the homework they do and how much time they spend processing that with case managers,” Brouwer said. Brouwer explained intensive case management involves an inmate working with a case manager on the top two or three risks areas identified in an initial assessment. “We know reducing those high-risk areas is important for the candidate’s success,” he said. “We then work on that plan through programming a minimum of 30 days before release and up to six months postrelease. Really, the key is active engagement with the case manager.” Gill said case managers ideally would meet with their re-entry inmates once or twice a

this time that only these extreme cases made it to trial,” Donovan said. “Knowing the assailant was often a sign of consent during this time period.” In one case from the book, a 23-year-old woman named May Davis brought rape charges against Samuel Morrick, who she said attacked her in her apartment when he came to pick her up for their third date. She testified during the 1918 trial that once inside the apartment, Morrick told her he’d come to “get his satisfaction.” After she told him she wasn’t “that kind of girl” and asked him to leave, he threw her on the floor, pinned her and strangled her until she passed out and began bleeding from the ears, then raped her. A police officer testified he found Davis with her right eye discolored and completely closed, and blood all over her face and oozing from one of her ears. “Morrick’s attorney painted Davis as a sexual instigator and implied that she consented to having intercourse with the defendant,” the book said. Davis kissed and touched Morrick on previous dates and should have known his intentions when she accepted his invitation to go to a show and take a cab with him for their second date, the defense attorney argued. Morrick’s attorney further discredited Davis because she fell unconscious and was thus unable to recount all details of the attack. lll

In an era where knowing one’s attacker “foreclosed any chance of seeking redress for sexual assault as sexual assault,” seduction laws sometimes provided “a

week while they were in the program. That often is not possible today. Because of curtailed therapy schedules with inmates housed elsewhere, case managers don’t see inmates often enough to establish the relationships and trust that is critical for successful behavioral change, she said. Before the jail’s population explosion, the re-entry participants also received 100 hours of cognitive behavioral therapy in which inmates address rationalizations and justifications for criminal acts, Brouwer said. Whole elements of the women’s cognitive behavioral training have been suspended because such a large percentage of the inmates eligible for the program are being housed in other facilities to address crowding. Before the large-scale farming out of low-risk inmates started, inmates in therapy also had more opportunities to develop contacts outside of the jail while incarcerated and continue community-based therapy postrelease, Brouwer said. “We still offer that, but reeling those people in when they only see their case manager two or three times is much harder,” he said.

Recidivism concerns Trust built through time is also an important part among the members of group therapy sessions, Gill and case manager Andrea Clark said. The camaraderie that develops in sessions often has inmates continuing discussions when they return to their pods, Clark said. Peer trust can remain important post-release, especially if inmates move to Oxford House, a transitional group home managed by released inmates. Clark said poten-

sort of back-door way” to prosecute what’s now called acquaintance rape, Donovan said. He said early 20th century seduction cases addressed the crime decades before the 1970s anti-rape movement drew attention to it. The now-defunct criminal statute of seduction was charged when a woman of previously “chaste character” had sex with a man who’d promised to marry her, on that condition, and the man went back on his promise of marriage, Donovan said. Convictions of seduction helped restore the reputation of a young woman — which often hinged on virginity — or even secure the aforepromised marriage, Donovan said. If women did not report the crime themselves, sometimes their fathers or brothers would. Donovan said a seduction case also could serve as a “proxy rape trial.” Seduction cases highlighted in Donovan’s book involve victims accusing men they were dating or were even engaged to. In graphic dialogue from courtroom transcripts, several women recount telling the men no, pushing them away and even being dragged to a bedroom and screaming out. Some brought seduction charges after learning they were pregnant and being pressured by the men to have abortions, which were illegal but widely performed. “Prosecutors tended to regard victims’ accounts of stranger rape as more credible and convictable than instances of date rape, despite the overwhelming prevalence of the latter crime,” the book says. lll

L awrence J ournal -W orld tial residents have to go through an interview before the residents vote on their application. The many transfers also have curtailed the jail’s work release program, Gill said. It doesn’t really exist now for women, and men have fewer opportunities to build habits, make contacts and earn money needed for success after release, she said. One of the long-term goals of the re-entry program is to reduce participants’ recidivism from the 2007 through 2009 baseline rate of 43 percent. That rate is currently at 31 percent, which is better than the 34 percent rate in 2015, Brouwer said. He knows, however, if the farming out of inmates continues at its current scale, that percentage will start heading the wrong way. The declining recidivism rate does illustrate the effectiveness of the program. It’s a record of success staff can supplement with firsthand accounts, such as that of a 40-year-old homeless addict with no job history who had burned all bridges to family and friends, but who still made a successful re-entry. That’s an indication of the willingness re-entry inmates have to reform, Brouwer said. “When I first started in jails in 2004, I thought they were trying to play us,” he said. “It took me a couple of years to realize they weren’t gaming or manipulating the system, but they really want to change. If you’re a social worker, jail can be a rewarding place to be because you do work with people who have reached the point they know they have to change.” — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166.

from the book that did not succeed was that of Mary Keegan. The 26-year-old woman brought seduction charges against a 40-year-old man named Thomas Hawkins, whom she met in 1917, according to the book. Hawkins had promised to marry her and soon after took her to the Hotel Theresa in Harlem, where court records stated she “permitted” him to perpetrate an act of sexual intercourse with her. The jury acquitted Hawkins after 30 minutes of deliberation. It appeared his attorney successfully argued that the prosecution failed to show Keegan was morally chaste enough to be a believable victim. The man’s attorney called witnesses who said they’d seen Keegan “automobiling” and visiting roadhouses in the company of men — and that she drank whiskey and danced to piano music. “As in rape trials, the seduction victim who pressed charges exposed herself to a full range of insults regarding her behavior, morality, and virtue,” Donovan wrote. Donovan said he believes New York City’s early 1900s sex crime trials hold sociological lessons that apply today. “This historical research is important because it forces us to consider the forms of gendered thinking that saturated legal decisionmaking at the turn of the century and that still influence legal decision making around sex crimes,” Donovan said. “Also it shows how far we’ve come in some areas, but it also shows how little we’ve come in 100 years.” — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at 832-7187.

City aims to deter human trafficking by regulating massage industry By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

City attorneys have drafted a local ordinance that aims to combat human-trafficking operations disguised as massage parlors. The local ordinance would regulate a massage industry that

currently doesn’t require licenses or background checks for a business to operate. Lawrence has close to 50 massage businesses, and city attorneys have been working for months to write an ordinance after urging from the Lawrence Police Department.

“This whole ordinance idea originated with the police department as a way to help combat human trafficking, because of their investigations and experience,” said Maria Garcia, assistant city attorney for Lawrence. Kansas is one of only a few states that do not

regulate the massage industry. Human-trafficking operations have taken advantage of the lack of regulations, and both the Lawrence police department and the Douglas County district attorney have encouraged Lawrence to use city code to help fight the problem.

It has been about nine months since the work on the ordinance began, and Garcia said it will amount to a standalone chapter in the city code. Garcia said though the ordinance is still in its first draft, it currently has provisions on a licensing and permitting process, application and

The individuals in this group are important to the process because they’ll be reviewing applications from chancellor hopefuls, and choosing which to send to the Board of Regents as finalists for the job, in total secrecy. Because the Regents opted for the search to be closed, campus visits and public input won’t be part of the process.

Alexander Hamilton who wrote in the Federalist Papers that the Electoral College should act as a safeguard to prevent unqualified people from becoming president. But Kelly Arnold, Kansas Republican Party chairman and one of the state’s six electors, said there is virtually no chance that any Kansas electors will change their votes. “I represent the state of Kansas and here, we voted overwhelmingly to elect Donald Trump and I will hold to what the people of Kansas asked me to do,” Arnold said.

Many of the groups protesting Trump’s electoral win argue that Democrat Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by more than 2.8 million ballots. But Trump won in enough states to amass an electoral college victory, 306-232, a margin of 74 votes. That means at least 37 Republican electors would have to change their votes to send the election to the House of Representatives, and it would take 38 vote switches to give the election to Clinton. Arnold said he has been inundated with phone calls and emails from people, almost all from out of state, urging him to change his vote. Besides the discrepancy between the popular and electoral votes, he said

people have cited a laundry list of other reasons such as the alleged Russian hacking of Democratic Party emails and Trump’s business holdings, which many people argue present conflicts of interests. “I would agree 100 percent that if some foreign government has hacked into the systems, we need to investigate that,” Arnold said. “Law enforcement are, and the Senate is going to investigate. “It turns into, ‘We can’t accept losing and we want you to change your vote for many different reasons,’” he said. Besides Arnold, the Kansas Electoral College will consist of Kansas GOP executive director Clay Barker; state party vice-chair

Ashley J. McMillan; national committeewoman Helen Van Etten; national committeeman Mark Kahrs; and State Treasurer Ron Estes. The Electoral College meeting will get underway at noon Monday in the Senate chamber of the Statehouse in Topeka. In the event that inclement weather prevents some from showing up, Arnold said the rules allow the remaining members to immediately elect replacements. Under a statute that hasn’t been changed since 1923, electors are paid $3 for their service, plus 15 cents per mile for travel expenses.

I’m apprehensive of the drift in higher education towards what Benjamin Ginsberg dubbed the ‘alladministrative university,’” Harrington said. “But I am confident that we will end up with someone who has been actively engaged in teaching and who has done their homework on KU.” I also reached out to leaders of KU’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Group, an Office of the Provost initiative. Do they think this committee is equipped to help pick a chancellor who values diversity and inclusion, which has been a stated priority of most if not all KU bodies and units over the past year or longer? (Note: At least four committee members are racial or ethnic minorities.) Group co-chairwoman Lisa Wolf-Wendel, KU professor of higher education, said diversity within the committee brings different perspectives but that individual members’ “identities” were ultimately less important than their mindsets. “It’s impossible to have every experience or every

identity represented on the committee. And further, it’s not fair to expect people to be representative of everyone from their backgrounds,” Wolf-Wendel said. “Regardless of the identity of the person who’s hired, it’s very important that the chancellor of the University of Kansas has a strong understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion — and the commitment to help achieve those goals.” Comparing the new group to the list of KU’s last chancellor search committee members to compare, here are a few observations: l That committee had 17 members, just one of them a student: the student body president at the time. The new committee has 24 members, including three students, all of whom are elected leaders on the Lawrence or KU Medical Center campuses. Add in chairmen and the committees number 18 and 25. l The 2009 committee had three members designated as representing teaching faculty, though none was part of university governance.

l Each committee included at least one notable politician. This time it’s U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, a Republican who started out at Fort Hays State University and went on to receive his undergraduate and later a law degree from KU. In 2009 it was Dick Bond, former Kansas State Senate president and former chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents. l There’s a larger medical presence. The 2009 committee had two KU School of Medicine representatives: one professor and one dean. The new committee has four, plus KU Hospital president and CEO Bob Page. l The 2009 committee had 13 men and five women. The new committee has 11 women and 14 men. (Totals include chairmen.) l Deanell Reece Tacha, retired federal judge and chair of the KU Endowment Board of Trustees, was on the 2009 committee and is on the new one, too.

I feel like the campus community will have a voice in the room, and I appreciate the Regents’ responding positively to our request.” However, compared to the number of KU administrators and broader community members, the rank-and-file campus community is still in the minority on the committee — “and educators are a very small minority indeed,” Harrington said. “Like many, I am concerned about the marketization and privatization of public education that has picked up speed lately, and

Senate CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

But people who study state governments say it has been a trend nationwide for the last several decades as attorneys find it increasingly hard to maintain a practice while also working long hours at relatively low pay in politics, where it is now easier than ever before to make enemies out of current or potential clients. “That’s been the national trend for the last 20 to 30 years,” said Brian Weberg, director of legislative studies at the National Conference of State Legislatures. A review by the Pew Charitable Trusts in 2015 found there has been a steady drop in both the number of attorneys and farmers serving in state legislatures around the country, and the dropoff in attorneys has been most pronounced in states that pay their legislators the least. During the 2015 and 2016 sessions, according to NCSL, attorneys made up only 10 percent of the total Kansas Legislature. That’s lower than the national average of 14 percent. But most of those attorneys were serving in the House, while there were only two practicing

attorneys in the Senate. Sen. Terry Bruce, RHutchinson, who had been majority leader in the Senate was defeated for re-election in the Aug. 2 primaries. And Jeff King, R-Independence, the Senate vice president and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, chose not to run again this year. “We have a dual combination in the Kansas Legislature of low pay and a relatively long work schedule,” King said in a telephone interview this past week. In Kansas, lawmakers receive $7,083 a year in direct salary, plus mileage and per diem expenses, which brings the total to around $21,000 a year, according to the Division of Legislative Administrative Services. In the few states where lawmakers earn less, King said, legislative sessions tend to be shorter, and some state legislatures only meet every other year. In Kansas, though, sessions traditionally last 90 days, or about one-fourth of the year, and some have gone well beyond that

mark in recent years. Plus, King said, lawmakers devote a significant amount of time to constituent business throughout the year. In addition to the low pay, however, King said there are two other significant factors that make it hard for attorneys to serve in government, especially for those who work in larger law firms. One, he said, is the fact that serving in the Legislture takes time away from an attorney’s practice, reducing their billable hours for the year. But the other is the very nature of modern politics itself. “Twenty or 30 years ago, a young lawyer could run for the Legislature, win, gain notoriety for their work in the legislature and use that to help build a practice,” King said. “Today, in large part, it works exactly the opposite.” “If you run for the Legislature, you’ll be forced to vote on tough issues,” he said. “Those votes will upset people. Some of those people are clients or potential clients, and being in the Legislature

ne size fits all.

actually makes it harder to secure and keep business rather than easier.” Haley, who has a limited practice working pro se only for businesses and organizations in which he’s personally involved, said he has considered trying to reactivate his license, but he said that would be problematic. Because he has been out of practice so long, he would have to take the Kansas Bar examination, which is given in February when the Legislature is in session. And he doubts he would have the time it takes to prepare for such a difficult test. “I’ve given it some thought but haven’t reached a conclusion,” he said. “I’m focused on representing my district.” Meanwhile, though, Haley said he thinks that not having any practicing attorneys in the Senate weakens the institution. “I believe that lawmakers should have some framework or concept in certain areas, like the judiciary committees, and the theory and practice of law,” he said. “I’m glad to be legally trained and to have had those experiences and that ability, but as a nonpractitioner, and yet a lawyer, I feel we’ve reached a lowwater mark on that committee, and in the Senate.”

Massage CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

October, the city sent letters to 44 such businesses and later met with about 30 local massage therapists, according to a city memo. Garcia said Police Chief Tarik Khatib and Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson have been at the meetings with massage business owners to explain why the ordinance is needed. “One of the ways to help combat that and keep people safer is to regulate certain businesses, and that includes massage therapy,” Garcia said. Human trafficking is a form of slavery that has recently received increasing attention across the country, with various states creating task forces to address the issue. Human trafficking is believed to be the third-largest criminal activity in the world, according to the FBI. It includes forced labor, domestic servitude and commercial sex trafficking. Absence of statewide regulation allowed sextraffickers to bring their operation to Lawrence even after being convicted of similar crimes in another Kansas town. Two Chinese nationals, Chen Li and Guihong Xiao, were convicted last year of human trafficking and promoting the sale of sexual relations at their massage parlor in Lawrence. In 2013, the two had been found guilty of promoting prostitution at two massage businesses in Bonner Springs. Lawrence would not be the first city in the state to adopt such an ordinance. In September, Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson sent a letter to the Lawrence City Commission with examples of how the industry has been regulated across the state, with examples from Lenexa, Overland Park and Wichita. The ordinance may also have other effects on businesses that have been allowed to go unchecked for years. Currently, massage businesses don’t necessarily require formal training to operate, and although some local businesses voluntarily provide the educational backgrounds of their massage therapists,

LAWRENCE • STATE

others do not. Because the industry has not been regulated, Garcia said she could not say what percentage of massage businesses in Lawrence use staff who are not formally trained in massage. But one thing that Garcia said some business owners are pushing for is a grandfather provision to the ordinance for longstanding businesses. Whether that provision will be included is yet to be determined, she said. “We’ve been

communicating and we’re still working on making this an ordinance that’s acceptable to everybody,” Garcia said, noting that the city had another meeting with business owners this week. “It’s definitely a work in progress.” Lawrence’s ordinance regulating massage businesses is expected to come before the City Commission for review early next year. — City Hall reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at 832-6314.

Right decision in school case The investigation by the district into a teacher’s classroom conduct does not need to be repeated.

he Lawrence school board’s decision to let stand an internal investigation into allegations of racially charged remarks by a South Middle School teacher was the right call. The board came to that conclusion after meeting in executive session Thursday night, deciding that outside legal counsel is not needed to conduct a separate investigation. The idea of a separate investigation arose after some expressed outrage at Monday’s school board meeting that teacher Chris Cobb was allowed to resign while retaining his salary and benefits through the end of the school year and getting a commitment from the school district that it would make no mention of the allegations or investigation to potential future employers. In the agreement, which the Journal-World obtained through a Kansas Open Records Act request, the school district also agreed not to identify Cobb. Once the agreement was made public, Cobb issued a statement denying any wrongdoing and said he had been the victim of accusations from someone with a history of making false claims. There is no evidence that the school district mishandled the investigation. By all accounts, the district conducted extensive interviews of the teacher and students. It is perfectly reasonable to conclude that after investigating the incident, that the school district determined the best path forward would be for Cobb to pursue the opportunity to teach elsewhere. The specifics of the resignation agreement are understandable considering that they bring a quick close to an incident that potentially could have become a protracted and costly legal battle. The issue for the school district — and by extension, school board members — was not how the investigation itself was conducted, but rather in how details were communicated to the public. The district’s reluctance to provide even the most minimal information on the investigation and the lengths it took to keep the teacher’s identity anonymous fueled increasing mistrust. The issue dominated recent board meetings and reached a boiling point Monday when the board had to adjourn the meeting after losing control to public protesters. The incident should serve as a cautionary tale to the district and board members about the importance of transparency and communication when faced with any controversy. Finally, it’s encouraging that the board has committed to creating a community advisory council to offer input on district policies and work on diversity and equality issues. The creation of such a council offers those community members who have been so passionate and vocal on this issue the opportunity to get involved. Let’s hope they step forward.

Our excellent electoral vote system Washington — Political mildness is scarce nowadays, so it has been pleasantly surprising that post-election denunciations of the Electoral College have been tepid. This, even though the winner of the presidential election lost the popular vote by perhaps 2.8 million votes, more than five times the 537,179 votes by which Al Gore outpolled George W. Bush in 2000. In California, where Democrats effortlessly harvest 55 electoral votes (more than one-fifth of 270), this year’s presidential winner was never in doubt. There was no gubernatorial election to excite voters. And thanks to a “reform,” whereby the top two finishers in a multiparty primary face off in the general election, the contest for the U.S. Senate seat was between two Democrats representing faintly variant flavors of liberalism. These factors depressed turnout in the state with one-eighth of the nation’s population. If there had been more excitement, increased turnout in this heavily Democratic state might have pushed Hillary Clinton’s nationwide popular vote margin over 3 million. And this still would not really matter. Political hypochondriacs say, with more indignation than precision, that the nation’s 58th presidential election was the fifth in which the winner lost the popular vote. In 1824, however, before the emergence of the party system, none of the

“

Do not blame the excellent electoral vote system for the 2016 choice that was the result of other, and seriously defective, aspects of America’s political process.” four candidates received a majority of the electoral votes, and the House of Representatives chose John Quincy Adams even though Andrew Jackson won more popular votes — 38,149 more, although only about 350,000 of the approximately 4 million white males eligible to vote did so. All four candidates had been together on the ballots in only six of the 24 states, and another six states, including the most populous, New York, had no elections — their legislatures picked the presidential electors. In 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes won the electoral vote even though Samuel J. Tilden won 254,694 more of the 8,411,618 popular votes cast. (With 51 percent, Tilden is the only presidential

loser to win a majority of the popular vote.) In 1888, Benjamin Harrison won the electoral vote 233-168 even though President Grover Cleveland won the popular vote by 89,293 out of 11,395,083 votes cast. In both years, however, exuberant fraud on both sides probably involved more votes than the victory margins. So, two of the five 21stcentury elections (2000 and 2016) are the only clear and pertinent instances, since the emergence of the party system in 1828, of the winner of the popular vote losing the presidency. Two is 40 percent of five elections, which scandalizes only those who make a fetish of simpleminded majoritarianism. Those who demand direct popular election of the president should be advised that this is what we have — in 51 jurisdictions (the states and the District of Columbia). And the electoral vote system quarantines electoral disputes. Imagine the 1960 election under direct popular election: John Kennedy’s popular vote margin over Richard Nixon was just 118,574. If all 68,838,219 popular votes had been poured into a single national bucket, there would have been powerful incentives to challenge the results in many of the nation’s 170,000 precincts. Far from being an unchanged anachronism, frozen like a fly in 18th century amber, the Electoral College has evolved, shaping and shaped by the party system.

American majorities are not spontaneous growths, like dandelions. They are built by a two-party system that assembles them in accordance with the Electoral College’s distribution incentive for geographical breadth in a coalition of states. So, the Electoral College shapes the character of majorities by helping to generate those that are neither geographically nor ideologically narrow, and that depict, more than the popular vote does, national decisiveness. In 1912, Woodrow Wilson won just 41.8 percent of the popular vote but conducted a strong presidency based on 81.9 percent of the electoral votes. Eighty years later, Bill Clinton won 43 percent of the popular vote but 68.8 percent of the electoral votes. In 2008, Barack Obama won 52.9 percent of the popular vote but 67.8 percent of the electoral vote. The 48 elections since 1824 have produced 18 presidents that received less than 50 percent of the popular vote. The greatest of them, Abraham Lincoln, received 39.9 percent in 1860. So, on Dec. 19, when the electors cast their votes in their respective states, actually making Donald Trump the president-elect, remember: Do not blame the excellent electoral vote system for the 2016 choice that was the result of other, and seriously defective, aspects of America’s political process. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

If we want our community to be an example to others of compassionate, progressive, problem-solving citizenry, then now is the time to put our money where our mouth is.

People in our community are hurting. A mental health crisis center is a no-brainer start on how to divert citizens in need to the correct form of treatment and most likely keep them out of the jail’s front door. Why tie this win-win to a jail expansion vote? A look at the court system’s fines and district attorney’s office procedures for handling low-risk misdemeanors would also seem to be another logical step in addressing criminal justice needs in Douglas Country before adding more brick-and-mortar costs to the current broken system.

To the editor: What’s the best way to get to know and influence people? Why, that’s easy. Just get right up in their face, yell at the top of your lungs, use as much profanity as you can and do not allow anyone else to speak. Then, go to all the businesses/organizations in town and tell them they have to write a letter supporting your agenda. If they don’t do it to your liking or refuse, organize a boycott of their business or organization. Next, hit them up for a financial donation. If they don’t comply, label them racist or another “phobia” and add them to the boycott. While Black Lives Matter-LFK says its for promoting equality and safety for all, its public tactics belie those statements and paint itself and its supporters as just as racist, bigoted and discriminatory as those they vilify. The use of threats, verbal and physical intimidation, mob-mentality coercion and harassment only further divide the community. So far it seems that the only dialogue is that everything they say is the only “right” and the rest of the community should fall in line or be demonized.

Weeks earlier a distraught woman entered a local church to seek help as she felt herself slipping into a psychotic episode. Church staff and volunteers scrambled to try to get her immediate help. While they kept trying, the woman wandered off and a few hours later murdered a family member. The list gets longer and more gruesome. Since 2004, Douglas County has averaged over 13 suicides per year and the rate is increasing. Meanwhile, the extremely high cost of testing mentally disturbed murder suspects, holding hearings and trials, appeals and lengthy incarceration is skyrocketing. Proper early intervention and timely treatment provide a lower cost, more humane and appropriate way for our county to handle mental illness of all types, including addiction. I urge all citizen to demand that the Mental Health Crisis Center be separated from the jail expansion issue and started immediately. Graham Kreicker, Lawrence

Cranberries contain many phytonutrients that have been shown to have a particular affinity for protecting the cardiovascular system, such as proanthocyanidins, the oftentouted compounds in red wine. The phytonutrients in cranberries appear to help protect LDL cholesterol from oxidation, help keep the blood flowing smoothly, modulate blood pressure and help to modulate inflammation.*

While Europe balks at offering asylum to Syrians, Iraqis and other migrants fleeing wartorn countries, one of its top museums plans to provide a haven for their art treasures. The Louvre is preparing to offer asylum to artifacts endangered in war zones worldwide. The treasures will be stored in a preservation center scheduled to open in two years in the northern French town of Liévin. The move is a response to the skyrocketing looting and destruction in conflict zones, said

NASA finds clues of ice volcanoes on dwarf planet Ceres Material may be mix of ice, mud and salts Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

The rocky world called Ceres never grew large enough to join the select club of full-grown planets, settling for the rank of dwarf planet. But Ceres may have a bigger claim to fame: cold volcanoes spouting ice and mud. New data from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft suggest that Ceres, which orbits between Mars and Jupiter, may boast cryovolcanoes

at the bottom of several of its craters. Other findings confirm that ice lurks in the soil below Ceres’ surface and builds up in crater bottoms. The findings were presented Thursday at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union. “The members of the (Dawn science) team expected a lot of things, but not what we finally got,” says Ralf Jaumann of the German Aerospace Center. “I was completely surprised, and ‘completely’ means ‘completely.’ ” As the biggest resident of the asteroid belt beyond Mars, Ceres has drawn the gaze of the Hubble Space Telescope and other instruments based near Earth. But ar-

NASA VIA AP

Ceres is a dwarf planet located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

riving in the vicinity in 2015, Dawn’s high-powered cameras revealed that the floors of several craters on Ceres are coated with flowing material akin to lava on Earth. The material looks less viscous than similar formations in the solar system, Jaumann says, and it is tinged slightly blue — the same color as a mountain on Ceres thought to have formed by eruptions of ice mixed with mud. Jaumann and colleagues theorize that the flowing material is a mixture of ice, mud and salts that erupted out of weak points in Ceres’ surface when objects bombarded it. He and his team will publish results in an upcoming is-

sue of Geophysical Research Letters. It’s possible the material was created when an object smashed into Ceres so hard it melted the terrain below it, Jaumann says. New images taken by Dawn show films of ice lining some of Ceres’ craters. The dark hollows reach a frigid high temperature of roughly 350 degrees below zero, says Thomas Platz of Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research. Researchers jokingly call the craters’ contents “Ceres’ darkest secret,” says study co-author Norbert Schorghofer of the University of Hawaii. “We now know the answer.”

Harry Reid’s legacy could assist Trump

CAROLYN KASTER, AP

Nevadan was a master of tactics to pass controversial bills Erin Kelly and Seth Richardson USA TODAY

WASHINGTON When Presidentelect Donald Trump looks to the Senate for confirmation of his Cabinet nominees next year, he’ll have outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid to thank for Democrats’ powerlessness to block his choices. The Nevada Democrat, a fierce Trump opponent who often referred to the president-elect as “a spoiled brat,” took dramatic action in 2013 to end Republicans’ ability to mount a filibuster to derail President Obama’s judicial and Cabinet nominees. Reid, who was majority leader at the time, used a parliamentary move known as the “nuclear option” to change a nearly 40-yearold Senate rule. The change meant that the Senate now needs only a simple majority of 51 votes — rather than a super-majority of 60 — to proceed to confirmation votes on Cabinet secretaries, agency directors and judges, except for the Supreme Court. Reid, who leaves a legacy as a

master parliamentarian, said he’s still glad he did it, despite the fact the rule change will now be used by the Republican majority to help Trump staff his administration. “We changed the Senate rules to guarantee a president’s nominees a fair, simple-majority vote,” he wrote in a recent op-ed in The New York Times. “I doubt any of us envisioned Donald J. Trump’s becoming the first president to take office under the new rules. But what was fair for President Obama is fair for President Trump.” The change in filibuster rules was just one of many procedural tactics that Reid employed during his 12 years as Democratic leader to win passage of President Obama’s most ambitious goals. Using the procedural tricks at his disposal, Reid pushed through approval of the Affordable Care Act in 2010 — the “Obamacare” law that Republicans are seeking to dismantle — and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009, an $800 billion stimulus bill that sought to lift the country out of recession by creating jobs repairing roads, bridges and highways while also expanding unem-

ployment benefits. “I’ve done the best that I can,” Reid told reporters last week at his final media briefing before heading home to retire in Nevada. “And I don’t have any regrets whatsoever about my efforts to push forward a Democratic agenda.” Reid will be succeeded in the new Congress by incoming Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., a gregarious, ebullient Brooklynite whose style stands in stark contrast to the tough, taciturn tactician from tiny Searchlight, Nev., who shunned Washington’s social life and eschewed small talk. Schumer said there is compassion beneath Reid’s no-nonsense demeanor. “Beneath the quietness is a strength and a caringness,” Schumer said. Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee, said the glowing tributes to Reid ring false. “For me, his time here has been one of failure, obstruction and gridlock,” Barrasso said.

in Paris and a former French minister of culture. The Islamic State and other Muslim extremists have destroyed much of the cultural heritage in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya and Mali on the grounds that non-Islamic art and antiquities are blasphemous. In the Syrian city of Raqqa, the Islamic State bulldozed a colossal, ancient Assyrian gateway on the banks of the Euphrates that featured eighth-century lion sculptures. In the ancient city of Palmyra — which the militant group recaptured last week after being driven out nine months ago — the Islamic State destroyed a 1,900-year-old Phoenician temple. In Iraq, the group destroyed parts of the ancient city of Nimrud dating to the 13th century B.C., and likely is plundering art treasures in nearby Mosul. “What we have witnessed in the past few years is the highest level of destruction since World War II,” said archaeologist Regis Vallet of the French National Center for Scientific Research. “When (the Islamic State) arrives in Palmyra or in Nimrud and blasts them with dynamite, it’s exactly as if the Acropolis of Athens was raided or the Parthenon blown up. It’s of the same magnitude.” The $65 million Liévin center also would house a vast collection of paintings, sculptures, Egyptian mummies and other artifacts out of public view in the Louvre’s basement. The effort would draw public attention to the conflict-torn countries, Martinez said. “Great museums such as the Louvre are directly affected,” he said. “We preserve archives from these areas and also because we must show solidarity to our Syrian and Iraqi colleagues.” The Louvre’s latest exhibit

Hector Feliciano, author of the 1997 book The Lost Museum: The Nazi Conspiracy to Steal the World’s Greatest Works of Art, applauded the French government’s initiative. “Once it’s lost, it’s lost forever, and that’s what’s terrible,” he said. “When artworks are destroyed, they end up disappearing altogether from our memory.

Feliciano said that’s an unfair comparison. “We try to save lives, but if we can also save artworks as well, it must be done,” he said.

Exxon statements on climate, accounting disclosures might figure in Senate hearings Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

onald Trump isn’t the only person headed to the U.S. government’s executive branch saddled by legal issues. As the president-elect tapped ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson as the chief U.S. diplomat, a judge issued a ruling that could help decide the outcome of state investigations into the energy giant’s statements on climate change and the firm’s accounting disclosures. Those are just two of several issues federal lawmakers could explore during Senate confirmation hearings expected early next year for Tillerson’s appointment as secretary of State. The hearings are likely to focus on Tillerson’s business negotiations and other dealings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, along with questions about ExxonMobil’s federal contracts. The legal battle with New York, Massachusetts and other states

hinges on whether ExxonMobil properly disclosed the potential impact of climate change on the company’s finances and gave investors accurate values for the firm’s assets during a two-year oil price slump. On Dec. 12, Texas U.S. District Court Judge Ed Kinkeade ordered the top legal officials of New York and Massachusetts to file written arguments by Jan. 4 addressing ExxonMobil’s contention that the New York and Massachusetts probes are politically motivated and should be terminated. The ruling came in a lawsuit the energy giant filed in June as part of an effort to block the investigations. The lawsuit characterized the investigations as “a coordinated effort to silence and intimidate one side of the public policy debate on how to address climate change.” ExxonMobil has been part of that debate for decades, participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change since its inception and supporting a carbon tax as a preferred system to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, the company

Inquiry will show “troubling disconnect between what Exxon knew” and shared publicly. Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey

says in its lawsuit. As potential evidence of bias by the state officials, the legal action quoted Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey as saying her investigation would show “a troubling disconnect between what Exxon knew” and what the company “chose to share with investors and the American public.” The lawsuit cited alleged close coordination between “sympathetic” state attorneys general and climate change activists seeking records from ExxonMobil. Denying the company’s allegations, the state officials said their investigations are aimed at protecting ExxonMobil investors and U.S. consumers from potential fraud. “When an energy company makes disclosures about the impact of climate change and related government policies on that company’s core business, New York law requires it do so accurately — and not present an external picture materially at odds with what the company or its executives have concluded internally,” New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s office said in the court filing. Attempting to gauge the accuracy of the company’s disclosures, Schneiderman in November 2015 subpoenaed ExxonMobil financial records, statements and other climate-change-related material

dating to 1977. He filed a New York state court lawsuit seeking to compel related disclosures by Pricewaterhouse Coopers, an accounting firm for ExxxonMobil. The company said it had disclosed information about the business risk of climate change for many years in Securities and Exchange Commission filings and other shareholder reports. This year, Schneiderman’s investigation broadened to examine why ExxonMobil, unlike other U.S. energy giants, had not written down the value of oil and gas assets during the industry-wide price plunge. Many companies “write down” the value of assets on their financial statements when they may no longer be able to produce as much income. Theoretically, Exxon’s decision could have led investors to believe the company was more valuable than it was. ExxonMobil said its financial results met the accounting and reporting standards of the SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The response underscored statements Tillerson made in 2015 to trade publication Energy Intelligence. “We don’t do write downs,” Tillerson said. “Everyone around here understands, once you make that investment, you live with that the rest of your career.”

Rex Tillerson has been nominated by Presidentelect Donald Trump to become the next secretary of State.

White men dominate venture-capital club Women, minorities miss out on wealth creation machine Jessica Guynn @jguynn USA TODAY

SOURCE Alliant Credit Union survey of 1,045 U.S. adults JAE YANG AND PAUL TRAP, USA TODAY

at the demographics of venture capital from its own trade association is a sobering snapshot of what decades of exclusion of women and minorities have wrought. Women, African Americans and Latinos are significantly underrepresented in venture capital, with few holding decision-making positions, according to the report released Thursday by the National Venture Capital Association and Deloitte University Leadership Center for Inclusion. Women make up 45% of the venture capital workforce, mostly in administrative roles, but just 11% of investment partners, or the equivalent, on venture investment teams. African Americans make up 3% and Latinos 4% of the venture capital workforce. None of the 217 firms with more than 2,500 employees had an African-American investment partner. That stark lack of diversity was already evident to anyone who perused the websites of venture firms or took a stroll through their upscale offices on Silicon Valley’s Sand Hill Road. But the data gathered in the survey will serve as a critical benchmark by which to measure progress in bringing more women and minorities into the field, says Kate Mitchell of Scale Venture Partners, who co-chairs the

JEFFERSON GRAHAM, USA TODAY

A new survey from the venture capital industry’s trade group suggests there’s room to expand diversity beyond white males. diversity task force of the National Venture Capital Association. Something else in the data offers a glimmer of hope that could persuade more venture firms to focus on diversity initiatives, she says. According to the survey, there’s a direct link between outreach efforts and greater diversity. Venture capital firms with diversity and inclusion strategies had a significantly greater share of women and minorities in leadership. “We are not surprised by the data by any stretch of the imagination,” Mitchell said. “But we got some data out of it that gives

us a great sense of where we need to focus.” Previous studies have consistently shown that venture capitalists are predominantly white men who, in turn, mostly fund companies started and run by other men. As a result, women and minorities have been largely left out of one of the world’s greatest wealth creation machines. Venture capital firms control the spigot of wealth in high tech, providing early cash infusions to companies they bet will go on to become tomorrow’s Apples and Googles. Diversity advocates have called

on venture capital firms to make significant changes in the wake of a closely watched gender discrimination lawsuit against Kleiner Perkins, one of Silicon Valley’s most prominent firms. Former partner Ellen Pao lost her case, but international news coverage of the trial shifted the spotlight on the lack of women and underrepresented minorities in the clubby profession. By and large, venture capital firms have failed to act on these calls to increase the number of women and minorities in their ranks and to fund more companies started by women and minorities, even though historically underrepresented groups are seen as key drivers of future growth in high tech. And, while the nation’s leading technology companies open up about their efforts to increase employee diversity, the recruitment of women and minorities is still not a priority — or even on the agenda — at many venture firms or for the start-ups they fund, says Richard Kerby, a vice president with venture firm Venrock who is African American. A recent survey of 600 start-up investors and founders by LinkedIn bears that out. More than half of investors surveyed said an entrepreneur’s commitment to diversity was the least of their concerns when deciding whether to invest.

Baker falls in national-title game, 38-17 By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Daytona Beach, Fla. — In the opening minutes of Baker’s 38-17 loss to St. Francis (Ind.) on Saturday in the NAIA football national championship game at Municipal Stadium, the Wildcats’ highoctane offense was firing on all cylinders. Junior quarterback Logan Brettell moved the Wildcats into the red zone in two and a half minutes, but the Wildcats (14-1) went on to settle for

a 26-yard field goal from Clarence Clark. However, the three points went on to be their only ones of the half for the Wildcats, who came in averaging 50 per game. “We drove the ball down field and should have got seven, and we come away with three,” Baker coach Mike Grossner said. St. Francis (13-1) scored a touchdown on its opening drive when quarterback Nick Ferrer found his top wideout — senior Seth Coate — for a 5-yard

connection, and that was just the beginning of the big night for the Cougar receiver. Baker had no answer for Coate, as he went on to haul nine receptions for 180 yards and three touchdowns. Coate — who earned offensive player of the game honors — finished the season with 25 touchdown receptions. “No. 11 (Coate) is a great football player, and we didn’t do a good job of getting over the top on him,” Grossner said.

A big part of the Wildcats’ success throughout the season was due to winning the turnover battle. The Wildcats led the NAIA with a plus25 turnover margin, but coughed the ball up twice in the title game while the Cougars had a clean slate. With the Wildcats trailing 10-3 late in the second quarter, Brettell fumbled for the first turnover of the game. St. Francis running back Justin Green capitalized

KANSAS 89, DAVIDSON 71

THE BETTER HALF

Defensive intensity sparks Kansas

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON III (0) HANGS FOR A SHOT against Davidson guard Jordan Watkins (2) during the second half of the Jayhawks’ 89-71 victory Saturday night at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. For more photos, please visit kusports.com

Kansas City, Mo. — It’s debatable whether Davidson simply ran out of gas or the Kansas defense stiffened. What is not debatable is that the Jayhawks, who trailed at halftime for just the second time this season, out-played, outtoughed and outscored the Wildcats convincingly in the second half en route to a hard-fought, 89-71 victory Saturday night at Sprint Center. “I’ve been telling them all along I’d like to see how we play, if we’re tough enough to guard, when we don’t make shots,” KU coach Bill Self said after the game. “And in the first half we really didn’t, but in the second half I thought we did.” Trailing 43-42 at the break and by as many as five early in the second half, the Jayhawks dug in

Bragg can help Jayhawks take the next step Kansas City, Mo. — Kansas basketball coach Bill Self already had used three post players, including freshman Mitch Lightfoot, when he put Carlton Bragg in the Davidson game with 11 minutes remaining in the first half Saturday in Sprint Center.

The crowd responded with quick welcomeback applause for the sophomore forward from Cleveland who had been suspended when battery charges were filed against him and reinstated when the charges were dropped, all in less than a week

that felt more like a month. Bragg stumbled through most of his 10 first-half minutes. Josh Jackson, the freshman who again ensured victory by contributing in just about every area a basketball player can, set him up beautifully with

an over-the-top pass and Bragg couldn’t finish the play. Later, he shot an air ball. If Bragg’s season follows the rocky-start, strong-finish trajectory of his performance in KU’s 89-71 victory vs. Davidson, that will bode well for KU’s chances of

cutting down the Sprint Center nets in the Midwest regional final and advancing to the Final Four in Phoenix. A 6-foot-10 forward who always has looked more comfortable burying mid-range jumpers

Thunder 114, Suns 101 Oklahoma City — Russell Westbrook had a career-high 22 assists in his 50th tripledouble, helping Oklahoma City beat Phoenix. Westbrook also had 26 points and 11 rebounds in his 13th triple-double of the season. He had gone three games without one, yet the league’s leading scorer continues to average double figures in points, rebounds and assists. Steven Adams had 19 points and seven rebounds and Enes Kanter added 12 points for Oklahoma City, which had dropped two in a row. Thunder guard Victor Oladipo, the team’s No. 2 scorer for the season, missed his third straight game with a right wrist sprain. Devin Booker scored 31 points for the Suns, who have lost six of eight.

NCAA Div. II Northwest Missouri 29, North Alabama 3 Kansas City, Kan. — Kyle Zimmerman passed for 100 yards and Northwest Missouri State plowed over North Alabama in snow-globe conditions to win its second straight NCAA Division II title and record sixth overall. Randy Schmidt added 96 yards rushing for Northwest Missouri State (15-0) in what was believed to be the coldest and snowiest Division II title game in its 43-year history. The Bearcats have won 30 straight games, the longest active win streak in any NCAA division. They won their first four titles in 1998, 1999, 2009 and 2013. At opening kickoff at Children’s Mercy Park, the temperature was 13 degrees with a wind chill of minus-4. To open the third quarter, it was 12 degrees with a wind chill of minus-5. Northwest Missouri’s Phil Jackson put it away midway through the third quarter as the heaviest wave of snow fell. On first-and-goal, Zimmerman handed Jackson the ball and shoved his way into the end zone for a 2-yard rushing touchdown. The Bearcats weren’t done, scoring a flurry of points in the fourth quarter. Northwest Missouri came up with a safety, though to minimal effort on its part, with 8 minutes left. North Alabama (11-2) botched a punt snap at its 31. The ball spun backward toward the end zone and punter Jeb Millender soccer-kicked the ball out of the back of the end zone. On the following drive, Northwest Missouri scored again on Zimmerman’s 13-yard pass to Shane Williams. Northwest Missouri scored again with less than a minute remaining, with Jackson bolting into the end zone from 10 yards out. Holding onto the ball was a problem for both teams. There

were multiple botched snaps, eight combined fumbles, 39 incomplete passes and two interceptions. The go-ahead score for Northwest Missouri came in the second quarter when Schmidt tossed a 7-yard shovel pass to running back Jordan Grove. North Alabama came within striking distance on the ensuing drive, but after the Bearcats’ defense came away with three passes defensed, the Lions settled for a 21-yard field goal from Kevin Henke. They wouldn’t score again. For North Alabama, Jacob Tucker had 179 yards passing, Julius Jones added 82 yards receiving, and Ray Beasley had 29 yards rushing.

Las Vegas Bowl San Diego State 34, Houston 10 Las Vegas — Donnel Pumphrey broke the NCAA career rushing record Saturday in his college finale, running for 115 yards and a touchdown in San Diego State’s 34-10 victory over Houston in the Las Vegas Bowl. Pumphrey passed former Wisconsin star Ron Dayne’s mark of 6,397 yards on a 15-yard run early in the fourth quarter, with teammates swarming him on the sideline, and wrapping up his sensational career in his Nevada hometown with 6,405 yards. “It means the world to me,” Pumphrey said as his father wiped away tears before hugging him. Pumphrey’s senior total of 2,133 yards rushing ranks in the top 10 for a FBS player. Ron Smith returned an interception 54 yards for a touchdown, Curtis Anderson caught a 28-yard touchdown pass from Christian Chapman, Juwan Washington ran for a touchdown, and John Baron kicked two field goals for the Aztecs (11-3). They overcame a 10-0 first-quarter deficit against the Cougars (9-4) for their second consecutive bowl win. Houston’s defense absolutely smothered the Aztecs in the first quarter. Led by freshman

Ed Oliver, Houston had seven tackles for loss on San Diego State’s first 16 plays. Pumphrey had minus-1 yard rushing on seven carries in the first quarter and the Aztecs didn’t have a first down until the first play of the second quarter — on a penalty for running into the kicker. But Pumphrey started to gash Houston on the perimeter, giving San Diego State the lead for good on a 32-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter, and the defense intercepted four of Houston quarterback Greg Ward Jr.’s passes in the second half Houston 10 0 0 0 — San Diego St. 0 6 14 14 —

New Mexico Bowl New Mexico 23, Texas-San Antonio 20 Albuquerque, N.M. — Richard McQuarley had two short touchdown runs and New Mexico won a bowl for the second time in a half-century, topping Texas-San Antonio. The Lobos’ only win since taking the 1961 Aviation Bowl had been a 2007 victory over Nevada in the New Mexico Bowl. Lamar Jordan ran for 81 yards and threw a 34-yard pass to Dameon Gamblin that set up McQuarley’s 1-yard burst for a 23-13 lead in the fourth quarter. The Lobos (9-4) gave coach Bob Davie his first bowl win — he lost three times at Notre Dame and also last year with New Mexico in this bowl.

up with Sanders for touchdown strikes of 12, 75 and 17 yards. The biggest plays of the night came from the Red Wolves’ special teams. They scored on a blocked punt and produced two turnovers that were turned into touchdowns. The Red Wolves (8-5) sealed the victory when they went up 31-13 on Sanders’ 17-yard scoring reception early in the fourth quarter. That touchdown was set up after UCF returner Chris Johnson mishandled a punt and it was recovered by Logan Moragne at the Knights 37. The tone for the special teams was set in the first quarter when Johnston White broke through the line to block Caleb Houston’s punt and B.J. Edmonds fell on the ball in the end zone to put the Red Wolves ahead 7-0 in the first 4 minutes. The Red Wolves took a 17-0 lead over the Knights (6-7) in the first quarter after a UCF fumbled kickoff return set up Hansen’s 12-yard touchdown pass to Hansen.

Cox became the ninth FBS player with four 1,000-yard seasons and the 22nd to top 5,000 in his career. Game MVP Taylor Lamb passed for 119 yards and a touchdown and ran for 126 yards and a score.

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Jayhawks stun Arizona, 75-51 BOX SCORE

By Shane Jackson sjackson@ljworld.com

Down by double-digits midway through the third quarter, Arizona guard Malena Washington decided to let the ball roll in front of her as she walked up the court, waiting until the last possible second to pick it up in attempt to savor the clock. That’s when Kansas’ Jessica Washington saw an opening and took it. The junior transfer dove on the floor and nearly stole the ball at half court. Though she did not end up with the rock, it was indication of how the entire team played Saturday. The Jayhawks were resilient on the defensive end and put their bodies on the floor when necessary, to push past the Wildcats, 75-51, at Allen Fieldhouse. With the loss, Arizona (7-2) snapped its five-game win streak, and Kansas (5-5) earned its second straight victory. “I do think the last two ballgames our effort has been consistent, which is an ingredient that has to be there,” KU coach Brandon Schneider said. “We are going to make some mistakes, all teams do, but your mistake can not be lack of effort.” In terms of field goal percentage, the Wildcats were eerily similar to the weather outside all afternoon — ice cold. Arizona shot just 30.8 percent from the floor, including 7.7 percent from downtown, thanks in large part to the Kansas’ swarming defense. For four quarters,

KANSAS’ JADA BROWN DRIVES FOR A LAYUP during the Jayhawks’ 75-51 victory over Arizona on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. players on the KU squad played in-your-face, man-to-man defense and caused stress on the opposition. Schneider periodically elected to mass substitute in order to keep fresh bodies on the floor. And it worked to perfection. Arizona coughed up 15 turnovers, which led to 15 points for Kansas. “They did a great job just denying of us and making us work hard to get open and that’s the first time we faced that,” Arizona coach Adia Barnes said. “That gave us some problems and I felt like they did a good job with their game plan of doing that.” The Jayhawks were in full force with the return of senior forward Caelynn Maning-Allen, who was out with a concussion

for three games. Sophomore guard McKenzie Calvert also returned after missing the previous game due to sickness. With a reinforced unit, Schneider was able to constantly have a energized lineup out on the floor from opening tip to the final buzzer. As a result, the Kansas bench outscored its opposition, 38-16. “I didn’t really go into the game thinking that way,” Schneider said. “Just with the group we had, I felt like giving it a shot today. I thought it paid dividends.” Washington, who scored a team-high 16 points, came out strong, scoring the first three baskets. She even recorded an assist on the fourth, when Timeka O’Neal drained a baseline

Chiefs-Titans matchup holds playoff implications By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — Andy Reid has been around long enough to know that focusing on the playoffs with three games left in the regular season is foolish, a trap that can derail a team capable of much bigger things. He also knows something about human nature. So, try as he might to stop his Chiefs from pondering what the future could hold today, the old coach reluctantly acknowledged that everybody on his sideline will be well aware of the stakes. Probably everyone on the Tennessee sideline, too. “I know it’s an important time of the year. I know that. And if you’re in the hunt, every game becomes an important game, right?” Reid asked. “If you can just keep it that simple from a coach and player standpoint, you’re doing OK. It’s going to get blown up around you, but we don’t talk about it.” The Chiefs (10-3), tied atop the AFC West after last week’s win over Oakland, are among three teams that can clinch a playoff spot this week. Beating the Titans is the easiest way. But there is more at stake than just the playoffs, which is why Reid and Co. are focused solely on beating the red-hot Titans. They still believe they can earn a firstround bye and the AFC’s No. 2 seed. “There’s a lot of incentives to put on this game,” Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said. “You want a ticket to the dance. You can’t win it unless you get

in, so you want to clinch it, for sure.” There are nearly as many incentives for the Titans (7-6), who are tied with Houston atop the AFC South. But while the Chiefs are almost certain to make the playoffs as a wild-card if they can’t hold off Oakland in the division, the Titans’ only hope for the postseason may be as a division champ. “I know they know the big picture,” Titans coach Mike Mularkey said, echoing his counterpart, “but I’m going to keep them on the same picture we’ve been on that we’ve got to win this game. We have to win. We have to go to a tough environment in Kansas City, a team that’s playing extremely well, and we’ve got to win this game or everything else is irrelevant.” As two playoff contenders prepare to tangle at Arrowhead Stadium, here are some key story lines: Bundle up: The ChiefsRaiders game Thursday

night ended with temperatures in the low-20s, and that’s going to feel balmy. Temperature at kickoff is expected to be in the low teens. “Probably one of my last college games” at Oregon, Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota said, “it got down into the high20s. So this will be the coldest game I’ve played, for sure.” Run run run: The Titans roll into the game with the league’s thirdbest rushing offense, buoyed by DeMarco Murray’s resurgent season and Derrick Henry’s increased role in the offense. And they’ll be facing a Chiefs defense missing linebacker Derrick Johnson, who ruptured his Achilles tendon last week. “Next man up. That’s what happened with me,” Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston said. “They played the first eight games this season without me and they did a great job. So it’s next man up.”

3-pointer to give Kansas an early lead. On the other side, they set the tone with how the day was going to be, as Washington and Sydney Umeri each drew a charge in the early minutes. The lead eventually increased to double-digits, 16-6, after the opening period. The margin would only increase in the second quarter as Kylee Kopatich and Chayla Cheadle began to get in the passing lanes. The two of them finished with a combined five steals. On offense, Calvert started to knock down shots, notching eight of her 14 points in the first half to give Kansas a 3420 advantage at the intermission. It marked Calvert’s sixth double-digit scoring effort of the season.

“When you make a mistake on offense, coaches usually yank you,” Calvert said. “But (Schneider) lets you play on offense. But because we are such a defensively sound team, you make a mistake, it means something. Because we go over defense 90 percent of our practices.” The third quarter was much of the same as Kansas continued to be aggressive on the defensive end, which led to rushed shots by Arizona. It wasn’t until the fourth quarter that the Wildcats began to get some sort of fluidity on the offensive end. They opened the final period on an 8-0 run to trim the deficit to 11. But Schneider again went to a fresh lineup and the Jayhawks stalled the comeback

KANSAS FORWARD LANDEN LUCAS (33) GETS TANGLED UP BETWEEN DAVIDSON FORWARD Will Magarity (22) and Davidson guard Jack Gibbs (12) going for a loose ball. The Jayhawks defeated Davidson, 89-71, on Saturday night at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

defensively and started harassing everything Davidson did. Whether it was jumping passing lanes, hitting the glass on both ends or challenging shots that, in the first half, were much easier to step into, the Jayhawks (10-1) made the Wildcats (5-4) uncomfortable in every way possible during a second half that saw Kansas use a 23-5 spurt to gain separation and end the game on a 31-13 run. “I think the second half was one of the best halves we’ve played so far,” said junior guard Devonté Graham, who scored 10 points and swiped three steals in 32 minutes. “Just staying aggressive and having that we’ve-gottaget-stops mentality, because in the first half they were getting whatever they wanted.” After scoring the first basket of the game on a tip-in of his own miss, Kansas freshman Josh Jackson continued to impact the game more than anyone on the floor with hustle plays, offensive rebounds and stifling defense. In the game’s first 10 minutes alone, Jackson had three offensive rebounds, all of which led directly to points for the Jayhawks. However, when Jackson picked up his second foul midway Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo through the first half, the KANSAS FORWARD CARLTON BRAGG JR., LEFT, and KU forward Mitch Lightfoot celebrate a tone of the game changed three by teammate Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk. and Davidson started to look much more comfortable. not commit a turnover. “He got his confiDavidson coach Bob They had a big size addence,” junior guard McKillop said Jackson vantage against Davidson Devonté Graham said heading to the bench did and played like it. of Bragg’s night. “We’ve CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C not inspire the Wildcats “I thought they both been pushing him in to change anything they played very well,” Self practice, making sure he did, but it was evident, than jockeying for posisaid. “I thought Landen stays aggressive, brings tion underneath, Bragg on both ends of the floor, was really good, you energy, even though he’s that Jackson’s absence stayed close to the bascoming off the bench, ket, kept it simple, played know missed that one helped the Wildcats find and I thought he did a to his size and produced. uncontested one in the their flow. first half.

After a pair of Davidson 3-pointers to open the second half pushed the Wildcats’ lead to five, Jackson (18 points, eight rebounds in 27 minutes) splashed the Jayhawks’ first three of the night with 17:09 to play to pull Kansas within two at 4947. Jackson’s triple came on the back end of a badplay-gone-oh-so-good as Landen Lucas’ offensive rebound of a missed free throw by Graham led directly to the Jackson’s three from the corner. Seconds later, after another second-chance scrum by the Jayhawks, Frank Mason III drained one from the opposite corner to put Kansas back in front 50-49. “Second half, we had a couple of great offensive rebounding possessions,” Self said. “We did a really good job of creating some energy off of the offensive glass.” After a nip-and-tuck few minutes left things tied at 58, the Jayhawks ripped off a 23-5 run over the next seven minutes to bury the Wildcats and send the Sprint Center crowd out to brave the elements with a smile on its face. By game’s end, that final run wound up being 31-13, but it was that initial spurt that broke Davidson’s spirit. “We had a tremendous opportunity in front of us,” McKillop said. “And, for about 25 minutes, I thought we handled it very well. But I thought they annihilated us in the paint, on second-chance points, and they annihilated us in transition.” Most of that annihilation came as the result of terrific balance. Four Jayhawks reached double figures in scoring, three others came within a shot of joining them and Kansas out-rebounded (43-

But that whole sensational second half was the result of the Jayhawks’ effort on the defensive end and that was what the Jayhawks were most proud of when they bundled up to head to the bus for the short ride back to Lawrence. “It’s a game of runs,” Jackson said. “Everybody’s gonna make a couple shots here and there. But it’s all about who can string the most together and get stops while doing it.” The Jayhawks will close the non-conference season Thursday at UNLV in Las Vegas before opening Big 12 play Dec. 30 at TCU.

KANSAS GUARD LAGERALD VICK (2) HANGS FOR A SHOT AGAINST DAVIDSON FORWARD Nathan Ekwu. KU won, 89-71, on Saturday night at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

NOTEBOOK

Mykhailiuk earns first start of season By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — With Santa sitting courtside and holiday cheer floating throughout the arena, Kansas junior Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk received an early Christmas present from Kansas coach Bill Self on Saturday night — his seventh career start and first since his freshman season. “I play the same way; it doesn’t matter to me if I’m starting or not starting,” said the Ukrainian wing following Saturday’s 89-71 win over Davidson at Sprint Center. “It felt good to start.” After the game, Self explained that plugging Mykhailiuk into the starting lineup in place of sophomore Lagerald Vick had a lot more to do with their play on the floor than it did his own generosity. Averaging 13 points in 23.5 minutes per night during the four games leading up to Saturday’s victory, the 6-foot-8 wing has both looked more aggressive and found more success after a slow start to his third season at Kansas. “I think Svi’s on an uptick,” Self said. “Lagerald has done nothing wrong, I just don’t think he’s playing as well and giving us as much energy. I didn’t think Lagerald was into it at all the first half and I thought that hurt us.” That inspired Self to turn to Svi and the Jayhawk who has fired up the second-most 3-point attempts so far this season proved Saturday that he was much more than an outside shooter. “He didn’t shoot it well tonight,” said Self of Mykhailiuk, who finished with 13 points on 4-of-8 shooting in 33 minutes. “But he was still very aggressive and I think he’s driving it downhill a lot more. You know, he got fouled tonight. He’s shot six free throws for the season going into tonight and he shoots six tonight.” Self’s decision to play four guards more often than not so far this season has made the specifics of KU’s backcourt rotation a little less significant. All five players are going to play. That was obvious when, even on a night when he did not start, Vick still managed 22

Although he finished with just a single steal, his defense on Davidson guard Jack Gibbs, who entered the night as the fourth-leading scorer in the nation, spear-headed Kansas’ overall defensive effort.

second half. Kansas has won seven consecutive games in Sprint Center. The reason that qualifies as good news for Kansas is the fact that the Jayhawks still could play as many as five more games at the 10-year-old, downtown Kansas City-venue before season’s end. KU would max out at eight Sprint Center games this season if it were to play three games in the Big 12 tournament in March and also advance to the Midwest regional semifinal and final of the NCAA Tournament a couple of weeks later.

This and that... Kansas now leads the all-time series with Davidson, 2-1. All three games have been played in the Bill Self era.... The Jayhawks now have scored 89 points or more in six consecutive games, marking the longest such streak since the 1989-90 team scored 91 or more in six straight in January of 1990.... KU’s 71 percent showing at the free throw line (17-of-24) was its third-best effort of the season.... KU is now 219-80 all-time in Kansas City, including a 34-6 mark at Sprint Center.

The Wildcats struck back in the early going of the third quarter when Brettell found a diving Damon Nolan for a 13yard touchdown pass. The dart over the middle to Nolan was the lone touchdown pass for Brettell, though, who was named the NAIA National Player of the Year on Friday. Brettell completed 34 of 50 passes for 263 yards. Momentum appeared to being swinging the Wildcats’ way after the Nolan touchdown catch, and they nearly got the ball right back with an interception from defensive back Avery Parker.

Review got us,” Grossner said. “You want review, you’re asking for review all year and wishing you had it, and all of a sudden we had a big pick that was called our way and we were down one score on that end of the field and they overturned the call. Anytime you lose the turnover battle, you probably don’t have a chance to win.” Ferrer was dialed for much of the night, though, as he threw two more touchdown passes of 59 and 36 yards to Coate to push the Cougars’ lead to 31-10. The St. Francis quarterback completed 18 of 30 passes for 245 yards and three touchdowns. “He got every possible award that a man could get on and off the field,” Grossner said. “You look at the (stat) sheet, and we threw the ball 50 times, but we only had 263 yards so that will tell you a lot of where the ball was going.

and they were rallying and tackling.” Baker junior wide receiver Cornell Brown pulled the Wildcats back within 14 after scoring on a 1-yard dive over the top. Brown — who is a wide receiver by title, but also Baker’s top ball carrier — rushed for 103 yards on 18 carries. The versatile offensive weapon was limited in practice throughout the week due to a back and hamstring injury, but Grossner didn’t feel that it was apparent. “The guy lives for football. I knew he’d give everything he had, and he did. He fought through it,” said Grossner of Brown. “We didn’t get much reps this week in Florida from him, but I don’t think it showed. I thought he came out and played hard.” The Wildcats were unable to pull off a late comeback like they did in their 45-41 win over Eastern Oregon in the NAIA semifinals, though.

with a 28-yard touchdown run from P.J. Dean with 2:48 to play. “We didn’t make enough plays,” Grossner said. “You’ve got to make big plays in big games, and you can’t give up the big plays in crucial situations, which we did. I think every one of their scores was (a) big, longyardage type score.” The loss to the Cougars marked the Wildcats’ second appearance in the NAIA title game in school history. Baker lost the 1986 championship game, 17-0, to Linfield (Ore.). The Cougars ended Baker’s season with a loss in the playoffs for the second time in the past five years. Despite the loss, Baker finished the season with a school-record 14 victories. “The hometown has been supportive the whole time, so it’s a good feeling,” Brown, a Baldwin City native, said. “We had a good season, a good run. It’s a good feeling to have that respect and support from my hometown.”

second-team all-Frontier League recognition after registering four assists. l Blayne Chapman, Baldwin — A first-team all-Frontier League selection, Chapman is quick, knowledgeable and highly skilled. He played every position except goalie for the Bulldogs throughout the year, finishing with six goals and four assists. l Charlie Carr, Lawrence — Carr frustrated opponents with his ability to stay in front of forwards, earning second-team all-Sunflower League honors. The senior defender, who totaled one goal and one assist, helped the Lions record four shutouts and end the season with a 9-8-1 record. l Chris Cho, Seabury — The Seahawks revolved their offense around their senior midfielder Cho, waiting for him to make runs to the net or find an open teammate.

scored 12 goals in 13 games and added five assists. l Ebrahim Diagne, Lawrence — One of the most dynamic midfielders in the region with an ability to find teammates anywhere on the field, Diagne received all-Sunflower League recognition. The senior had five goals and four assists, leading LHS to its first regional win since 2012. l Dylan Kroll, Tonganoxie — A second-team all-state pick in Class 4-1A, the senior middle defender was a major presence in front of the net. He only gave up three goals through the middle of the field with a strong ability to win the majority of headers and 50/50 balls. l Heitor Nazareth, Free State — Nazareth was a nightmare for opposing defenses, but instrumental in Free State’s offensive attack. The senior forward scored a teamhigh 10 goals with three assists,

leading the Firebirds to an 8-8-2 record. l Branden Patterson, Free State — A key member of the Firebirds’ attacking scheme, Patterson used his technical abilities to shake defenders and take open looks at the net. The senior forward finished the year with two goals and six assists. l Logan Williams, Tonganoxie — Leading the Chieftains to the Class 4-1A state quarterfinals, Williams was the engine behind the offense as an attacking midfielder. With elite level speed, touch and creative ability, Williams had 18 goals and 17 assists, earning firstteam all-state recognition.
