at various stops, Beaty emerged from a group of candidates with previous ties to the program.

Sources said Beaty’s strong telephone interview, which took place earlier in the week, wowed everyone on KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger’s search committee, and, by early Friday morning, despite the expectation that a new coach would not be named until next week, a plane carrying Beaty, 44, along with his wife, Raynee, and daughters, Averie, 15, and Alexa, 10, was on its way to Lawrence from College Station, Texas, where Beaty spent the past three seasons as a Texas A&M assistant coach under head coach Kevin Sumlin.

After meeting with his new team early Friday evening, Beaty was introduced to a crowd of 16,300 fans at Allen Fieldhouse during halftime of Friday’s KU-Florida men’s basketball game. During a brief speech in which he talked about how overjoyed and humbled he and his family were to be back in Lawrence, Beaty paid tribute to one of his favorite Jayhawk memories.

“One of the greatest things in all of sports is when that game is pretty much clinched and you hear that low ‘Rock Chalk, Jayhawk,’” Beaty said. “It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, and I’m looking forward to hearing it a bunch.”

Terms of Beaty’s contract were not available Friday night, but sources have said it may be around $800,000 per year in base salary with incentives that could push total annual compensation as high as $1.5 million. KU has scheduled a news conference for 9:30 a.m. Monday to formally introduce Beaty as its new football coach.

Around the same time Beaty and company were in flight on Friday morning, former Rice wide receiver Jarrett Dillard, who played for three NFL teams after a successful stint with Beaty, wandered up to South Texas College Law School to

Neosho County Community College saw the biggest decline. Enrollment there fell by 452 students, or nearly 17 percent. Even Johnson County Community College, the largest institution in the system, saw a decline of 242 students, or 1.23 percent.

Garden City Community College and Seward County Community College/Area Technical School were the only schools in that system to see enrollment increases.

Enrollment grew by 89 students, or 4.46 percent, at Garden City, and by 3 students, or 0.16 percent, at Seward County.

Center in Kansas City grew by 22 students, or 0.66 percent, and now stands at 3,371.

For the state university system as a whole, enrollment grew by 1,381 students, or 1.47 percent, to a total of 95,170.

Wichita State University saw the largest percentage increase, 3.11 percent, for a total enrollment this year of 15,003 students.

Washburn University in Topeka, which is not a state university but is supervised by the Board of Regents, was the only university to see enrollment go down this year.

It saw a net drop of 196 students, or 2.41 percent, for a total enrollment this year of 7,939 students.

amendments to the Student Senate in January, after winter break.

The changes add language explicitly stating that KU can discipline students for sexual violence, sexual harassment and intimate partner violence regardless of whether it occurred on or off university premises.

The power would apply in cases when the victim was a KU student at the time of the offense, according to the draft bill.

KU residence and scholarship halls are within campus boundaries. Greek houses and apartments, where thousands more students live and where sexual assaults have also been reported, are off-campus.

Angela Murphy, task force co-chairwoman and KU Graduate Affairs Director, said the intent and spirit of the proposal is local in nature. However, it also would apply to students at the beach on spring break or even farther away.

“This additional jurisdiction is necessary because students at KU are also members of the Lawrence community,” Murphy said.

“It’s an everyone issue.”

Technically, KU believes the code already

begin preparing for an afternoon exam. As he settled in for another day of hitting the books, Dillard inexplicably began hearing people talking about his former coach.

The enrollment at Dillard’s current school is made up largely of Texas A&M alums, and Dillard said people were buzzing about the Beaty-to-Kansas news bright and early.

“There was a lot of talk about him leaving for Kansas this morning,” Dillard told the Journal-World by telephone. “They were talking about him on a firstname basis, and I was like, ‘You all don’t know him.’ So I gave him a call first thing and told him congratulations.”

After embracing the initial shock of hearing so much buzz about his former mentor, Dillard said he was hardly surprised to learn that Beaty had landed the opportunity.

“As time has gone on, I’ve noticed that he made a lot of good moves and transitions that coaches should make,” Dillard said. “And I always figured it was just a matter of time before he would be a head coach.”

Former KU standout Dezmon Briscoe felt the same way and said via telephone he was thrilled to hear of Beaty’s return to Lawrence.

“I think it’s real good,” Briscoe said. “Especially because the fan base and people around the program will remember him as a guy who was around Kansas football when we had some success and were going good.”

Added Dillard: “It’s great that he’s back in Kansas, a place he’s familiar with, and he knows the people there and the overall character of Kansas football. It’s almost as if he’s moving back home.”

Both former Beaty pupils remembered their coach as a tough but fair guy who liked to have fun and was never afraid to embrace the grind.

“He enjoys the experience just like the players,” Dillard said. “I remember running out of the tunnel, he always saw in all of our eyes that we were excited to play and he was always just as excited as we were.

I think that enthusiasm allowed the university to discipline students in such cases.

However, according to the draft bill, the previous language apparently wasn’t strong enough to stand up in court. The draft cites an unnamed case in which a Douglas County District Court judge refused to uphold KU’s sanctioning of a student found responsible for sexual harassment that the university couldn’t prove happened on campus.

Before presenting the draft bill to the full Student Senate, the task force is submitting it for review to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, KU attorneys and Student Senate leaders.

Many universities extend their jurisdiction beyond campus for school code violations connected to a variety of crimes in faraway places, KU Assistant Vice Provost for Student Affairs Jane Tuttle said in an October interview with the Journal-World.

KU only has jurisdiction off campus for issues related to Title IX, a federal law prohibiting sexbased discrimination in education and requiring schools to provide a safe environment for women to access their education.

Sex assault complaints fall under Title IX.

L awrence J ournal -W orld definitely carries over. You want a coach to get excited with you when you score a touchdown or make a big hit. It shows he’s just as excited about football as you are.”

A native of Garland, Texas, Beaty has worked in various coaching roles at three universities since 2006. His college coaching career began after a highly successful stint as a high school coach in Texas from 1994-2005 that included head coaching gigs at North Dallas High (2001) and Irving MacArthur High (2002-2005).

Until Friday, the highest Beaty had climbed in the college ranks came in 2010, when he served as offensive coordinator at Rice, and in 2011, when he worked as the co-offensive coordinator under Turner Gill at KU. The 2011 season was Beaty’s second stint at KU. He also coached receivers under former KU coach Mark Mangino in 2008 and 2009.

During those two seasons, Beaty helped Briscoe and Kerry Meier develop into future NFL draft picks.

Meier, who was taken in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL Draft, received all-Big 12 accolades in 2008 and 2009, while Briscoe, a sixth-round selection in the 2010 NFL Draft, was an All-American and first team all-Big 12 pick in 2009. In 2008, five different KU players delivered 15 100-yard receiving games.

Among the school records set by KU wide receivers in 2008 were season receptions, game receptions, season yards, game yards and season touchdowns.

Beaty’s connections in Texas and overall recruiting record were what attracted KU and Texas A&M to him in the first place and, on Friday, A&M coach Sumlin said Beaty had not missed a beat since joining the Aggies in 2012.

“David is a great recruiter, a great coach and a great man,” Sumlin said in a release. “He was one of the first people I hired at Texas A&M, and he’s been a huge part of what we’ve been able to accomplish here.

He’s earned this opportunity to be a head coach, and I believe he will do a tremendous job with the Jayhawks.”

City’s residential building at historic low

H

ere’s something to keep an eye on this month: Unless something changes in December, this year is at risk of being the worst on record for single-family home construction in Lawrence.

City officials recently have released the latest building permit numbers, and they show that the city has issued only 87 permits for single-family home construction through November.

For decades and decades it was a given that Lawrence would issue more than 100 permits a year for single-family homes. Then in the depth of the recession in 2011, the city failed to hit the 100 mark for the first time since at least 1956, which is how far back the city’s building permit records go.

Now, just three year later, the city is at risk of missing the mark again. It will be close, though.

The Homecoming football game against the University of Oklahoma is set for Oct. 31, 2015 — which is Halloween — with the full week of homecoming festivities planned Oct. 25 through Oct. 31, the KU Alumni Association announced Friday.

The Alumni Association and a student-led steering committee will coordinate the week of activities, which will include competitions for student organizations, community service activities, various reunions and the Homecoming parade and pep rally. Winners of the Excellence in Community, Education and Leadership (ExCEL) Awards will be announced at halftime of the game.

a little momentum at the end of the year. The November report shows 13 permits were issued.

That was the highest monthly total of the year. If builders take out 13 or more in December, the city will hit the 100 mark. Even if they just take out eight or more, they’ll avoid setting a new low.

The city issued 95 permits in that rough year of 2011.

Stegall joins Supreme Court Faces questions in schools lawsuit

A TRUCK SLOWS DOWN as turkeys cross a road Friday morning east of Lawrence.

Topeka — A newly swornin Kansas Supreme Court justice should remove himself from a school funding lawsuit when it reaches the high court because he represented Stegall Republican Gov. Sam Brownback in unsuccessful settlement talks, an attorney for aggrieved school districts said Friday.

Attorney John Robb made his comments shortly before the swearing-in ceremony for Justice Caleb Stegall, of Lawrence, which dozens of family members and state officials including Brownback attended.

SATURDAY COLUMN

Leadership is key to building university excellence

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Who has the primary responsibility, or opportunity, to determine the excellence of a state-aided university?

This is a timely and relevant question because the competition for leadership in higher education is becoming more intense year after year, and openings in top positions at all state universities are sure to occur in the next several years. Excellence attracts excellence in faculty, students, research dollars and private giving. Excellence in higher education pays dividends for the state in many ways such as attracting top industry and research firms, generating tax revenue from such companies and improving the quality of life for Kansans.

There is no easy, automatic answer to the question of who has the responsibility or opportunity of building the excellence of a state-aided school because many offices and individuals play a role.

At Kansas University, those serving on the Kansas Board of Regents have the important role of appointing the chancel-

lor, who serves at the pleasure of the regents. They select the individual they believe can do the best job of leading the school to greater levels of excellence.

It should be noted that those serving on search and selection committees for a chancellor also play a critical role because they are supposed to search the country looking for people who have the record or potential to achieve great things for the school. If these individuals are lazy in carrying out this assignment, the university and state can be damaged for years.

Once in office, the chancellor creates the environment and standards expected of the faculty and students and establishes a relationship with alumni, friends and state legislators that encourages enthusiasm and support for the university.

Obviously, state lawmakers and the governor play an important role because the degree of state fiscal support they give to the university is vital.

But here, again, the effectiveness of the chancellor in telling the school’s story and explaining its needs is critical.

The chancellor sets the stage and directs the operation. He or she needs a strong supporting cast but, in the end, the chancellor is the conductor who determines whether the team is functioning to its full potential.

ness, professional and personal records that merited the respect of residents and state legislators.

Today, the governor is handcuffed in this selection process in that each congressional district in the state must be represented. No two members can live in the same county when they are appointed, and there can be no more than five regents from one political party.

Perhaps it is an unspoken policy, but care also is taken to make sure a majority of the regents have not graduated from a single regents university.

It’s time for a change in this selection process — a change in the selection process, as well as a change that allows regents to have a far better idea of what is going on at the universities they oversee.

Higher education is too important, too big a business not to have the regents more knowledgeable about the schools. How much do the regents know about the individuals running the schools? Do regents merely rubber-stamp the recommendation of the selection committees and does

COMMENTARY Regents select the chancellor, so it is imperative they do a superior job in making this selection and then exercising their authority to make sure the university is being run in the proper manner. Those serving as regents must have the courage to make the proper moves or changes if individuals are not measuring up. Unfortunately, the manner in which regents now are being selected handicaps the state and its system of higher education.

It used to be a governor could select the nine best individuals in the state to serve as regents. It didn’t matter where they lived or where they went to school. The goal was to select individuals who had busi-

the governor rely totally on what the regents recommend?

How many times are regents caught off-guard by important events on a campus? Lessons learned in recent selection processes should serve as a guide in future selection efforts.

It’s a fairly loose operation and the consequences can be long-lasting and damaging. Far more care needs to be given to those selected to serve on selection committees to review chancellor and presidential candidates. The regents need to know far more about potential candidates, and the governor needs to have the ability to select the best possible candidates to serve as regents.

Regents serve in a powerful and important position and play a broad role in the level of excellence at each state university. Through his appointments, the governor can determine to a large degree the excellence of the state’s system of higher education IF regents have the backbone to make tough decisions and demand top performances from the chancellor and presidents.

Officials worry about EPA’s power plant plans Kansas lawmaker claims proposal is based on ‘misstatement of fact’

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Regional power companies in Kansas and the Midwest are expressing concern about proposed new EPA regulations aimed at increasing the amount of electricity produced from renewable resources in the United States.

But one state representative in Kansas went a step further Friday, saying the EPA’s proposed Clean Power Plan is based on faulty science and denying that carbon dioxide emissions contribute to global climate change.

“For the EPA or any other entity to claim that carbon dioxide is a pollutant is an absolute misstatement of fact, because it is not a pollutant,” said Rep. Dennis Hedke, R-Wichita. “So we are trying to control something that we believe may have some impact on global temperature. That is not resolved.”

Hedke serves on the Kansas Electric Transmission Authority, an agency established in 2005 to plan for and ensure a

reliable power grid in Kansas.

That group met Friday to review a report about the impact that the EPA’s Clean Power Plan would have on the regional power grid known as the Southwest Power Pool, which serves Kansas and several surrounding states.

The EPA’s proposal would involve adopting state-specific plans to cut carbon dioxide emissions from power plants by 30 percent by 2030. States would have to begin showing measurable reductions by 2020.

The Southwest Power Pool report did not criticize the science of climate change. But it did say the EPA’s proposed timeline is too short and could force some states to decommission coal-fired power plants before they have time to develop other alternatives.

Unless EPA modifies the program, the report said, “the SPP region faces serious, detrimental impacts on reliable operations of the bulk electric

system — introducing the very real possibility of rolling blackouts or cascading outages that will have significant impacts on human health, public safety, and economic activity.”

Hedke, a geophysicist who does consulting work for the oil and gas industry, has previously sponsored legislation to prohibit local governments from spending public funds on sustainable development. And he has supported legislation to repeal Kansas’ renewable portfolio standards, which require power companies to produce 20 percent of their peak demand capacity each year from renewable sources.

Hedke proposed sending written comments to the EPA outlining concerns of the industry, as well as his concerns about the science behind the theory of climate change.

Sen. Marci Francisco, DLawrence, said she agreed with some of the power pool’s concerns about impacts the Clean

BRIEFLY New date set in shooting trial A new trial date has been set for a 25-year-old Lawrence man charged with attempted first-degree murder of a man who was shot on U.S. Highway 59 on Memorial Day. Edward Joseph Parker pleaded not guilty in July to shooting Skyler L. Workman, of Lawrence, at the urging of co-defendant Brittany Nicole Smith, 22, of Eudora. Workman was driving southbound on U.S. 59, just south of Lawrence, around 11 p.m. on May 26 when someone shot at his vehicle. He suffered gunshot wounds and was flown to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka. He survived the attack.

Smith pleaded guilty in October to conspiracy to commit murder and will be sentenced Jan. 9.

On Friday, Douglas County District Judge Peggy Kittel set Parker’s jury trial for March 2 through March 6.

Parker was supposed to have a trial in December, but it was continued when Parker told Kittel that he wanted a new attorney.

However, Parker told Kittel Friday that he was now OK with keeping Michael Clark, his court-appointed attorney, as his lawyer.

“This is all new to me; I’ve

never been to prison,” Parker said. “I feel like I’m trapped and I don’t know what to do.”

Parker is scheduled to return to court for a hearing on Feb. 20.

18-year-old charged in theft of SUV Jessie Dean-Deayshawn Hughes, 18, of Lawrence, was charged Friday with aggravated robbery and interference with law enforcement after allegedly stealing an SUV at gunpoint and fleeing from police on foot Thursday evening.

Lawrence police arrested Hughes after being called to the 500 block of Florida Street at 5:43 p.m. for a robbery in progress, Detective Sgt. Bronson Star of the Lawrence Police Department said. The victim told police that when he was about to enter his SUV, a man approached him with a gun and commandeered the vehicle.

Police found the SUV unoccupied in the 1800 block of West Second Street, and a police officer spotted a man matching the suspect’s description near the intersection of Fourth and Florida streets, Star said.

After a foot chase, Hughes was apprehended in the 400 block of Michigan

Street about 6 p.m., Star said.

A K-9 unit from the Topeka Police Department assisted in locating the gun, which had been left on the ground in an area the suspect had run through, Star said.

Douglas County Judge Pro Tem James George set Hughes’ bond at $75,000.

His next court appearance is scheduled for Thursday.

Hughes remained in the Douglas County Jail as of Friday evening.

Police find, return missing teenager After eight days missing, a Lawrence teenager has been found and returned home, Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said Friday.

Jeremiah “Jay” Boldridge, 15, went missing the night before Thanksgiving, his mother, Kalila Boldridge, posted on a Facebook group set up after his disappearance.

Thursday night, officers located Jeremiah at a Lawrence apartment after his mother called police with a possible location, McKinley said.

Kalilla Boldridge said on the Facebook page that the teen is safe at home.

Power Plan might have on the reliability of the regional power grid. But she did not agree with Hedke’s arguments about the science of climate change.

“I would like to see that we are recognizing the importance of cutting the carbon emissions and saying we understand the goal. We’re just looking at how to meet it,” Francisco said.

KETA chairman Ernie Lehman, president and general manager of Midwest Energy Inc., said he was concerned about the polarization of opinion about the proposed new rules.

After attending several meetings on the issue, he said he was struck by the fact that inside the utility industry, there is almost unanimous concern about the cost and impact of the rules, but outside the industry there is almost universal support.

“It’s very scary to me to see this dichotomy getting into the utility industry that we’ve seen other aspects of our nation’s

governance where everything is becoming politicized and people are crossing boundaries in pursuit of their very well-intentioned goals,” Lehman said.

“I’m just very worried about the path we’re on.”

The committee eventually agreed to send a letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy expressing concerns about the timeline contained in the proposed rules and the impact that could have on system reliability. But the letter will not include criticism of the science of climate change.

The public comment period on the proposed new rules has closed, but KETA officials said they believe additional information submitted after the deadline will still become part of the public record.

EPA expects to finalize the new rules in June 2015.

Former IRS agent files for city commission seat

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

The latest candidate for the Lawrence City Commission is a retired IRS agent who thinks sales taxes are too high and confidence in city government is too low.

Stuart Boley on Friday became the third candidate to file for one of the three seats up for election in April’s City Commission election.

“While over time our city has accomplished noteworthy goals, the City Commission has made serious mistakes in planning and implementing the wishes of the people of Lawrence,” Boley told a crowd of about 20 people at an announcement ceremony at City Hall. “Our community’s lack of confidence in city leadership was expressed clearly in the failure of the police station proposal.”

Boley, 60, worked for 33 years with the Internal Revenue Service as a tax auditor and revenue agent. He currently works part-time as an administrative officer

for the not-for-profit Douglas County Community Foundation. Boley, who is married and has three grown kids, has been in Lawrence since the 1980s, he said.

Boley said his financial experience would be useful at City Hall. He believes the city is likely holding too much cash in reserve funds, which is causing the city to keep sales tax levels too high.

“Sales taxes are too high here, and they are hurting people and businesses,” Boley said.

He said if the city were to adjust its philosophy on reserve levels, he thinks the city could look at ways to reduce the city’s general sales tax. He said he much prefers sales taxes that have a specific purpose and sunset clause rather than general sales taxes that remain on the books forever.

The sales tax used to pay for the Rock Chalk Park project was a general sales tax, and he said that was one of many problems with the public-private partnership at the sports complex.

He said he was concerned about the city’s decision to issue a no-bid contract for about $12 million worth of infrastructure work at the project, but said the city also failed on another key decision with the project.

“At the core of the recreation center issue is the people felt disrespected,” Boley said. “They should have let the citizens vote on the recreation center issue.”

The seats currently held

by Commissioners Mike Dever, Terry Riordan and Bob Schumm are set to expire. Candidates have until noon on Jan. 27 to file for one of the three at-large seats. If seven or more candidates file for a seat on the commission, there will be a primary election on March 3 to narrow the field to six candidates. The general election will be April 7.

Boley is the third candidate to file for the race. Stan Rasmussen, an attorney for the Army, and Matthew Herbert, a Lawrence High government and civics teacher, also have filed for seats on the five-member commission.

Planned Parenthood, Kansas settle abortion lawsuit

Homes CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

If you add in duplex units to the mix, the numbers look a little better, but not much. The city has issued permits for a total of 101 living units when counting both single-family and duplex permits. That’s the second lowest total of the last five years, trailing only 2011.

It also is interesting to note that apartment construction has lagged in 2014. The city has issued permits for 83 apartment units. That’s the lowest total by a lot in recent years, with the next lowest being 172 in 2009. Add it all up and Lawrence is having its slowest residential construction year since ... 1974.

Through 11 months of 2014, the city has issued permits for 184 living units. Back in 1974, the city issued permits for 176 units of single family, duplex and apartments.

Of course, we still have one more month to go. And I wouldn’t worry too much about a lasting slowdown in apartment development. Apartment builders may just be catching their breath.

Several projects are on the drawing board.

latest multi-story apartment building at Ninth and New Hampshire streets. That project has received all its city approvals and is awaiting building permits. Plus, there is the news about a multi-story building at 11th and Massachusetts that would house a grocery store on the ground floor. The upper levels of that seven-story

project would include apartments. And there is the proposed apartment project across the street from Memorial Stadium that has been approved but may or may not happen. Nonetheless, it’s interesting to note it has been historically slow thus far on the residential front in Lawrence in 2014.

For all projects — residential, commercial and otherwise — the city has issued permits for $91 million worth of projects so far in 2014. That’s down from the $163 million issued through the same period a year ago, but 2013 was a banner year. The average since 2009 has been about $105 million worth of projects, so this year is off about 13 percent, which isn’t bad in the cyclical world of construction.

Quality since 1880 • 817 Mass. 843-4266

Topeka (ap) — A federal judge says Kansas and Planned Parenthood have settled a lawsuit filed by the group over a requirement enacted last year for abortion providers.

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Vratil’s onepage order Friday closing the case did not provide any details. The lawsuit concerned a re-

An attorney representing Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri declined comment. The organization didn’t provide details in a statement.

The Kansas attorney

general’s office did not immediately return a telephone messages.

Planned Parenthood argued the requirement violated its free speech rights, partly by forcing use of the term “unborn child” on its website.

The state contends the rule falls within its power to ensure women have adequate information.

7A

Democrats scrambling after election defeat Washington — Old habits die hard. The media are so enamored of the continuing (and largely contrived) story about the great Republican civil war that they fail to appreciate that the real internecine fight is being waged on the other side of the aisle.

I grant that there’s a lot of shouting today among Republicans. But it’s a ritual skirmish over whether a government shutdown would force the president to withdraw a signature measure — last time, Obamacare; this time, executive amnesty.

And it will likely be resolved with the obvious expedient of funding the government through next year, except for a more short-term extension for homeland security. That way, defunding the executive order could be targeted to just the issue at hand, namely immigration, and would occur when the GOP holds the high ground — control of both houses of Congress.

It’s a tempest in a teapot, and tactical at that. Meanwhile, on the other side, cannons are firing in every direction as the Democratic Party, dazed and disoriented, begins digging itself out of the shambles of six

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

But the Democrats’ civil war goes far beyond the petty and the personal. It’s about fundamental strategy and ideology.” years of Barack Obama.

The fireworks began even before Election Day with preemptive backstabbing of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, by fellow Democrats. This was followed after the electoral debacle by bitter sniping between Obama and Harry Reid when Reid’s chief of staff immediately — and on the record — blamed the results on Obama. In turn, Obama got his revenge last week by sabotaging a $450 billion “tax extender”

deal that Reid had painstakingly negotiated.

But the Democrats’ civil war goes far beyond the petty and the personal. It’s about fundamental strategy and ideology.

The opening salvo was Sen. Chuck Schumer’s National Press Club speech, an antiObama manifesto delivered three weeks after Election Day openly denouncing Obamaism, its policies and priorities. In essence: Elected with a mandate to restore the economy and address the anxieties of a stagnating and squeezed middle class, Obama instead attacked, restructured, reorganized and destabilized a health care system that was serving the middle class relatively well.

Eighty-five percent of Americans already had health insurance, argued Schumer. Yet millions have suffered dislocations for the sake of a minority constituency — the uninsured — barely 13 percent of whom vote.

This has alienated the Democrats’ traditional middle-class constituency. Indeed, in a 2013 poll cited by The New York Times’ Thomas Edsall, by a margin of 25 percent, people said Obamacare makes things better for the poor. But when

the question was does it make things better “for people like you,” Obamacare came out 16 points underwater. Moreover, for whites, whose support for Democrats hemorrhaged in 2014, 63 percent thought Obamacare made things worse for the middle class.

That’s how you lose elections, Schumer argues. And forfeit large chunks of the traditional Democratic coalition. Health care was not a crisis in 2009 (nor in 1993 when Hillarycare led to another Democratic electoral disaster); it was an ideological imperative for Barack Obama and the liberal elites in charge of Congress — their legacy contribution to the welfare state.

As are Obama’s current cherished causes — climate change and amnesty for illegal immigrants. These are hardly the top priorities of a working/ middle class whose median income declined as much during the Obama recovery as during the Great Recession.

The underlying Schumer challenge is that catering to coastal elites and select minorities is how you end up losing 64 percent of the white working class — which, though shrinking, is almost 50 percent larger

in size than the black and Hispanic electorates combined.

While Schumer lobbed artillery at Obama’s faculty-room liberalism, the left — through Elizabeth Warren’s progressive populism — kept up its fire on the party center. Warren is looking beyond Obama to Hillary Clinton, cozy as Clinton is (Schumer, too) with Wall Street, the bete noire of the party base. Which is why Clinton actually said: “Don’t let anybody tell you that, you know, it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs” — a stupendously clumsy attempt to parry Warren by parroting her.

From opposite sides of the (Democratic) spectrum, Schumer and Warren are trying to remake and reorient the Democratic Party post-Obama.

So while Republicans are debating the tactics of stopping presidential lawlessness — an inherently difficult congressional undertaking, particularly if you still control only a single house — Democrats are trying to figure out what they believe and who they represent.

Which do you think is the more serious problem?

Inequity threatens U.S. society

Sad loss

YOUR TURN

By Stefan Petrovic

As the events in Ferguson and across the nation unfold we continue to “dig” ourselves into racially loaded and socioeconomically delineated trenches. It is as if we live in parallel universes where multiple narratives define our factual frames of references. As a nation, it seems to me, we can only agree that the tragic death of Michael Brown is exactly that: a tragic loss of a young life. Everything else about this tragedy is politicized and seen as an excuse for fictitious projections of blame in the oversimplified dichotomy of “us” and “them.”

The specifics of the grand jury’s decision not to indict Officer Wilson in the shooting of Michael Brown aside, our reactions to that decision raise some important questions. First, what does it mean to be a citizen of our country and, sec- Petrovic ond, what is the future of our democratic institutions if a significant minority of our population does not have the trust in the very institutions that are supposed to serve and protect them?

The “Ferguson case,” in addition to being a legal case, is also a manifestation of unleashed perceptions among a number of our citizens that the criminal justice system is flawed and discriminatory toward a selected population.

These issues ought to guide both our institutional and individual soulsearching and become the starting point in a broader national conversation. Too many of our citizens and communities live segregated and in poverty, while very few of our politicians seriously strive to resolve such problems. That is morally reprehensible and economically devastating for all of us.

Many Americans who are unemployed, underemployed or come from underprivileged backgrounds do not exist in a social vacuum. They are products of increasing economic inequality that ravages our nation, a type of economic inequality that does not stimulate individual initiative, hard work or ingenuity, which I support, but the type that effectively paralyzes the chances of millions of young people to hope for a better future simply because of where they live or go to school or who are their parents. Often, the most underprivileged in our society are non-white, disproportionately incarcerated, disproportionately stopped by the police, and left with a K-12 educational system that is underfunded, dysfunctional and shamelessly inadequate.

These accumulated structural inequalities are anti-democratic. They threaten the very fabric of the American creed and preconditions necessary for a citizen’s life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Even more specific to this case, these structural inequalities directly endanger the interactions between residents of affected communities and the police officers, positioning them against each other. As a result, the culture of mistrust, potentially bad policing practices, discrimination, crime, and fear among all involved is reinforced.

Way too often we hide behind the idea that all of our citizens have an equal opportunity to reach their full potential. Actually, many do not. Too many Americans struggle daily to confront joblessness, low pay and discrimination or to adjust to structural changes in the economy. Our history of racial tensions and discriminatory practices further exaggerates problems. In such a context, the reactions and behaviors by many of our citizens after the grand jury’s decision have become a microcosm where larger societal anxieties, preconceived notions and insecurities are played out.

To confront these structural issues, I propose the establishment of an “Education and Democracy Security Investment Fund (EDSIF),” that would be financed by all taxpayers and invested directly in community schools, services, job creation and general infrastructure. We need to rebuild communities where people want to come, not leave. This is not a handout; it is one of the most important investments that we can make. This is a national security issue and should be treated as such by our elected representatives on the local, state, and national levels, and by the rest of us. Through this investment we will start addressing some lingering structural issues that plague our country.

That’s how we create a new generation of educated citizens who are actively engaged in democratic processes. That’s how we live up to some of the basic creeds of this American project — that we are inherently equal and invaluable as individuals and that ours is the nation of equal opportunities for all. That’s how we remain a significant factor in knowledge-based world economy. That’s how a kid from Ferguson or a kid from rural Kansas knows that his country invests in him, embraces him as an individual, respects him as a member of his community, and sees him as a productive American citizen. Such citizens return tenfold to their country, regardless of the color of their skin.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 6, 1914: “A number of Lawrence men who are interested in oil have years been talking of forming a comago pany and prospecting for oil in IN 1914 Douglas county. This company, that is to be organized, will make their prospections along the Wakarusa south and east of Lawrence. It is their impression that there are rich deposits of oil accessible if the attempt is made to develop the resources. Various companies have been in Douglas county prospecting for oil and several wells have been put down. In all cases these wells have been put down but a short way or were plugged up when they were almost com— Stefan Petrovic is a junior at Lawrence pleted.

To the editor: Animal lovers all over the city are mourning the injuries and loss of dogs in the recent fire at Christal K-9. Those of us who love our pets like family can feel the pain of the families involved, and our hearts go out to each one of you at this very sad time.

Christal K-9 has been a well respected business for many years. We take our pets there because we trust the Devins and their staff and we know they love our animals almost as much as we do. The Devins have dedicated their lives to dogs in their business as well as their work with the American Kennel Club. Ironically and luckily the animal oxygen masks were a thank you gift from an area dog club who had been hosted in Lawrence recently.

The fire was a tragic accident with horrific consequences. The pain and grief the Devins are feeling must be overwhelming. I cannot imagine the weight of their sorrow right now.

If they decide to rebuild, I hope we can show our love and support to them as they have loved and supported our pets and this community.

“With the arranging of the new lights on Massachusetts street the main street of Lawrence puts on an entirely different appearance. A stranger would scarcely recognize it as the same street. In place of the many dark places along the street everything now is bright, and puts on a cheerful appearance. The merchants have co-operated to put up the extra lights on the street and let them remain there during the holiday season.”

Job growth on pace for best year since 1999 Washington (ap) — A resurgence in U.S. hiring accelerated in November and put 2014 on track to be the healthiest year for job growth since 1999.

The gain of a robust 321,000 jobs — the most in nearly three years — put further distance between a strengthening American economy and struggling nations throughout the developed world.

The job market still isn’t yet fully healthy. But its steady improvement raises the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will start raising interest rates from record lows by mid-2015.

The unemployment rate remained at a six-year low of 5.8 percent, the Labor Department said Friday.

“These were boomlike numbers,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.

“They indicate that the U.S. economy is on very solid ground.”

Friday’s report also raised hopes that Americans’ pay might finally be starting to increase after

Dow nears historic mark Investors welcomed Friday’s jobs news: The Dow Jones industrial average rose 58 points to close at 17,958.

Earlier in the day, the Dow came within 9 points of doing something it has never done: crossing the 18,000 mark, a strong possibility when the market reopens Monday. barely budging since the Great Recession began seven years ago. The average hourly wage rose 9 cents to $24.66, the biggest gain in 17 months.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen has cited stagnant wages as a key reason to keep rates low. Higher wages could lead to higher prices, and the Fed might feel compelled to raise rates to limit inflation.

Still, over the past 12 months, hourly pay has risen just 2.1 percent, barely above the 1.7 percent inflation rate. And economists note that inflation remains below the Fed’s 2 percent target and will likely stay tame because of lower energy prices. That might give the Fed some leeway to wait.

The Fed has kept its benchmark rate near zero for six years to encourage borrowing and spending.

So far this year, the economy has gained 2.65 million jobs. With a month to go, 2014 is already the best year for hiring in 15 years.

That is partly a reflection of the anemic pace of job growth for much of the recovery. Only this year, five years after the recession officially ended, have job gains neared levels historically associated with a strong economy.

In the 1980s and 1990s, employers regularly added more than 3 million jobs a year.

black 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. In Colorado, students walked out of class Friday to protest the decisions not to prosecute police in New York and Ferguson. In Aurora, a suburb of Denver, eighth-grader Bennie Mahonda walked about 5 miles to the municipal center, shouting “Hands up, don’t shoot!” to honks from passing cars.

Court

The lawsuit was filed in 2010 by the four districts and the parents of more than 30 students. The only defendant is the state, but Robb said Brownback “is the state” because he’s its chief executive. Robb said it is “basic” that an appellate judge like Stegall would remove himself from a case in which he participated as an attorney.

“He appeared in this case as an advocate in the mediation process,” Robb said. “To my knowledge, he participated in all of the sessions.”

Stegall declined to respond after his swearing in.

“I’m going to enjoy this day and not comment on any court business,” Stegall said as he waited to shake hands of family, judicial colleagues and well-wishers during a reception.

Brownback also declined to offer an opinion on whether Stegall should

remove himself from the school funding case.

Like speakers at the ceremony, Brownback praised Stegall as highly intelligent and able to grasp complicated legal issues quickly.

It is the conservative governor’s first appointment to the seven-member court.

Stegall, 43, had a private law practice and served as Jefferson County’s elected prosecutor for two years before joining Brownback’s administration when the governor took office in January 2011.

“He is smart, smart as a whip — so smart as to humble the rest of us,” said U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren, formerly the chief federal prosecutor in Kansas, who mentored Stegall.

Stegall replaced former Justice Nancy Moritz. She left for an appointment to the federal appeals court for Kansas and five other western and Plains states.

and elevated him to the state’s highest court earlier this year.

A three-judge Shawnee County District Court panel expects to rule in the lawsuit this month on whether Kansas spends enough money on public schools to fulfill a duty under the state constitution to provide a suitable education for every child. Regardless of how the judges rule, attorneys expect an appeal to the Supreme Court.

Robb, from Newton, represents the Dodge City, Hutchinson, Wichita and Kansas City, Kan., school districts in the lawsuit and participated in two days of Supreme Court-ordered mediation in the spring of 2013. He said Stegall represented Brownback.

Selden — who, by the way, went 0-for-10 in his previous game — scored 21 points off 9-of-15 shooting as the Jayhawks were able to erase an 18-point secondhalf deficit.

It’s the second-biggest comeback in a home vic-

tory in KU history. The Jayhawks, most everybody remembers, trailed Missouri by 19 in 2012 and also were down by 19 to UCLA in 1995.

“It’s one of the best games he’s played since he’s been here,” KU coach Bill Self said of Selden, a 6-foot-5 sophomore from Roxbury, Massachusetts, who had 14

points off 6-of-9 marksmanship the second half. “He’d been laboring. He needed something good to happen.

He got a layup to start the game. It may not seem the biggest thing, but it took the lid off.”

Selden scored 11 points in a remarkable 38-9 run that turned a 45-27 deficit (at

16:41) into a 65-54 advantage at 1:11.

“You’ve got to stick with it, keep playing through it.

You know you will miss some shots,” Selden said of his strong comeback from his 0-fer shooting in a win over Michigan State. “At Please see KANSAS, page 4B

“It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up,” he said, and the crowd loved it.

The biggest roar came when he said, and meant, “I won’t sleep until we give you something to be proud of.”

Nobody has ever questioned Beaty’s work ethic, likeable personality and organizational skills, all of which added up to making him good at his job as recruiting coordinator for Texas A&M. Beaty, 44, was a popular guy during his first two stays, under Mark Mangino (2008-09) and Turner Gill

KANSAS UNVIERSITY VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS HEAD TOWARD THE SIDELINE while Arkansas-Little Rock players celebrate following the Jayhawks’ five-set loss in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Friday at the Expocentre in Topeka.

Topeka — The members of Arkansas-Little Rock’s volleyball team didn’t come all the way to the Kansas Expocentre to let their nationleading winning streak vanish.

The Trojans came to make some noise in the NCAA Tournament, and

they did just that, toppling host Kansas University, the No. 16 overall seed, in five sets Friday night.

The Jayhawks, hosting the first two rounds of the postseason tourney for the third year in a row, led the Sun Belt Conference champions two sets to one before the Trojans took the last two, won, 27-25, 19-25, 2225, 25-18, 15-10, and extended

their winning streak to 25 matches.

“They’re fighters. They’re not quitters,” UALR coach Van Compton said of her players, who haven’t lost since Sept. 12. “They want to win, and they do find ways to win.”

KU (22-9) provided a little help, too. Freshman Please see VOLLEYBALL, page 3B

Oregon smothers Arizona Santa Clara, Calif. (ap) — Marcus Mariota threw for 303 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a career-high three scores, and No. 3 Oregon likely secured a playoff spot by overwhelming eighth-ranked Arizona 51-13 in the Pac-12 championship game Friday night.

On a rainy night in Silicon Valley, Oregon wiped out the Wildcats in front of a sparse but rowdy pro-Ducks crowd — announced as 45,618 — that sprinkled the red seats at $1.3 billion Levi’s Stadium bright yellow and green.

Mariota also boosted his credentials for the Heisman Trophy as the Ducks turned the patchy field into their personal playground.

(2011), because he treated everybody the same, with respect and courtesy.

Those traits also make him popular in Texas with high school coaches.

He was one of them as recently as 2005. They also make him a coach under whom quality assistants will want to work.

I believe that the moment Sheahon Zenger watched Duke thoroughly humiliate Kansas in Durham, he had a strong feeling that an interim football coach would finish the season and then be replaced by Beaty at season’s end.

But since Zenger blew it so badly by hiring Charlie Weis, based on a search firm’s recommendation and spending a day falling prey to Charlie’s Jersey charm and Super Bowl bling, that he couldn’t just hire his guy again this time without making it look as if Beaty blew away “the committee.”

So Zenger assembled a committee of former KU players, administrators from the athletic department and other branches of the university. Then the AD set up phone interviews with the candidates taking questions from the committee. Not surprisingly, sitting head coaches who had expressed interest bowed out because head coaches like to pursue jobs way under the radar and feel as if they have proven enough at their schools that their reputations and records do a lot of the talking for them.

That left as competition for Beaty a trio of

n “Coach Beaty is a players’ coach, but he knows when to be serious. He is not afraid to put his foot down and tell you what you are doing wrong. He won’t let you sit around and be mediocre. He wants greatness from you.” — NFL and Kansas All-America wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe n “Coach Beaty was a great mentor and coach for me during my time at Rice. He was a very valuable asset to our program. He helped develop me as a patient route runner and receiver who could handle the pressure that was going to come from defenses keying on me. It was a breath of fresh air to learn the game from someone who really understands both the mental and physical aspects of coaching football.” — NFL and Rice All-America wide receiver Jarett Dillard

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S CASSIE WAIT (5) and Addison Barry dive after the ball during the Jayhawks’ NCAA Tournament loss to Arkansas-Little Rock on Friday night in Topeka.

What’s more, the Jayhawks failed to manage UALR senior outside hitter Edina Begic the way they had hoped, and she burned the better seed for 27 kills. Junior outside hitter Sonja Milanovic (15 kills, 16 digs), Bechard

added, helped the Trojans out of some binds as well.

Begic and Milanovic are just two of the team’s five players from BosniaHerzegovina. The imports had the Jayhawks reeling at times, but

BRIEFLY Greensboro, N.C. — Kansas University’s Chelsie Miller placed second in the 400-yard individual medley Friday at the USA Winter Nationals.

Miller swam her seasonbest time of 4:10.01 and finished behind Ohio State’s Lindsey Clary (4:09.87).

“Tonight was a big night for Kansas swimming,” KU coach Clark Campbell said. “It started off really well with Chelsie getting a lane for the ‘A’ final. Her time of 4:10.01 will be invited to the 2015 NCAA championships.

We’ve cleared that hurdle, and now we can focus on Chelsie getting ready for NCAAs and the championship season coming up in February and March.”

Former KU swimmer Danielle Herrmann took

hitter from Papillion, Nebraska, said. “We were looking to go out in a significant way, and this loss was not what we were pushing for.”

McClinton, proud of the program’s recent success, said NCAA Tournament berths need to be the standard. She also hoped KU’s next tourney appearance doesn’t end so abruptly.

Still, it wasn’t as if Kansas didn’t have its chances.

Said Bechard: “If you don’t play at the level you really need to play at, a good team’s gonna hang around and continue to persevere. We erred a little too much in that fifth set for it to come out the way we wanted to. It’s gonna hurt for a while, but at some point I’m sure we’ll look back on this season and appreciate first and foremost the great careers of two seniors and the young group that we have. Right now, it’s a little difficult to get to that point.”

n “Coach Beaty is one of the most genuine people I’ve ever known, and he really cares about his players. On the field, he’s a great coach with a lot of energy and he’s fun to be around. He will always push you to be your best.” — Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans

KU’s Miller second in I.M.

the Jayhawks let a 2-1 lead slip away, making them 1-6 this season in five-set matches.

Begic, a 6-foot-2 force from Sarajevo, said the Trojans had little interest in ending their impressive season in the first round of the tournament.

“When we were down 2-1, we just got together, and we were like, ‘OK, we have to fight like there’s no tomorrow, like it’s our last game,’ and I thought that’s what we did, and that’s how we came back,” she said. “We were fighting point for point.

They did, too. They were such a great team, and the game was amazing, but I thought we were a little bit lucky, and we were working a little bit more harder.”

The loss did, of course, mark the final match for KU senior standouts Chelsea Albers (nine kills, 20 digs) and Sara McClinton (15 kills).

“We didn’t end our careers the way we wanted to,” Albers, an outside

n “David is a great recruiter, a great coach and a great man. He was one of the first people I hired at Texas A&M and he’s been a huge part of what we’ve been able to accomplish here. He’s earned this opportunity to be a head coach, and I believe he will do a tremendous job with the Jayhawks.” — Texas A&M Head Coach Kevin Sumlin

Volleyball Jayhawks setter Ainise Havili, who passed out a match-leading 54 assists, said a noticeable difference reared its head at the worst time, in the fifth and decisive set.

“They had a lot more energy than us,” Havili said of the Trojans (304), who will face Oregon State tonight for a berth in the Round of 16. “And that’s on all of us. But they had an energy, and they kept it through the whole, entire set. Good on them.”

That wasn’t the only thing that stood out about the fifth set, though, Kansas coach Ray Bechard noted.

“And we had eight attack errors and a service error,” the coach said, “so when you start talking about giving up nine points in a 15-point game, that’s pretty hard to overcome.”

be late to the party lining up walk-ons and in some cases scholarship players, compared to Kansas State.

Zenger didn’t hire an offensive guru this time.

He hired a personality to lead the program publicly and the team in practice. Beaty has just one year of experience as an offensive coordinator, so he’ll need to hire a sharp one, perhaps keeping Eric Kiesau or hiring Beck. And Beaty will need to let his coaches coach. He and Bowen are friends, so Bowen’s not going to let any issues regarding player loyalty to the defensive coordinator instead of the head coach take root.

They’ll be in it together.

Beaty won’t make a more important decision than when hiring a strengthand-conditioning coach.

At a development program such as Kansas, it’s an important job that requires 100 percent backing from the head coach. If there is any way to coax Chris Dawson from K-State, that would qualify as a major coup.

Given that Beaty has held a position of authority as a college assistant coach for just one year,

the hire is a risky one.

But since his contract — probably in the range of an annual salary of $800,000 guaranteed with incentives that could bring it to $1.5 million — is low by Big 12 standards, Zenger’s gambling at the $2 table, where nice guys hang out, not at the $25 table, where slick guys know how to laugh all the way to the bank.

Vince Lombardi reincarnated with Art Briles as his OC and Nick Saban as his DC couldn’t squeeze a winning 2015 season starting so far behind the pack, but just as the Kansas basketball game that ended with the home team winning, 71-65, wasn’t determined by the first half, Beaty won’t be judged by the first half of his presumed five-year contract. It’s all about whether he and his staff can recruit and develop enough talent to entertain big crowds by the time the second half rolls around.

Supporters of the football program would be well-advised to remember the basketball game played the night Beaty was introduced to the crowd. Kansas went on runs of 17-0 and 33-7 in the second half. Rewards that come after struggles mean more. Should Beaty win Big 12 football games by those margins in the second half of his contract, they’ll build a statue of him outside the Anderson Family Football Complex.

In Beaty, Zenger has hired an honest man who will give an honest effort. You have to like his chances of assembling the most energetic staff since the one on which he worked for Mangino.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT DAVID BEATY

braced during the Turner Gill and Weis errors, er, eras, feel empowered.

KU’s poor play in the final two weeks of the season made it easier for Zenger to stick to his original plan.

Make no mistake, this was a Zenger hire, as it should be. Search consultant Chuck Neinas didn’t make this hire, as is appropriate. At a school not packing the house and not making it to bowl games, the athletic director’s most important job is finding the right football coach.

He has to hire his guy, even if he feels the need to make it seem as if he’s hiring “our” guy.

If Beaty elevates the program significantly from its worst five-year record in history, Zenger deserves all the credit for finding the right man for a difficult job.

As for cancelling the last round of interviews, the in-person ones, well, he knew who his man was all along. No point in extending the charade any longer. Time for Beaty to assemble a staff and intensify the recruiting in Texas, Oklahoma and at home, where Kansas always seems to

fourth place in the 100yard breaststroke in a time of 59.17.

“She’s one of our stellar alumni,” Campbell said.

“She just keeps dropping times, and it was a lot of fun to see her pick up fourth place tonight and still, at the age of 27, swimming her best times.”

KU’s Bryce Hinde reached the “C” final of the 100-yard breaststroke. Jayhawks Lydia Pocisk (1:03.89) and Hannah Driscoll (1:04.99) had season-best showings in the event.

“Our breaststrokers did a tremendous job, this morning as well,” Campbell said. “It was great night for us, and we’re really looking forward to finishing up strong on the last day.”

Driscoll, who swam a lifetime best in a 200-yard freestyle time trial Thursday, will swim the 100yard freestyle this morning.

Hinde and Pocisk will swim 200-yard breaststroke.

Reaney swims medley relay Doha, Qatar — Lawrence High product Emma Reaney swam the breaststroke leg on Team USA’s second-place 4X50 medley relay team at the FINA Short Course World Swimming Championships on Friday.

Reaney took over with the U.S. in second and had a split time of a personal-best 29.42 seconds, which put the team in first, but it eventually lost to Denmark.

The U.S. team finished in 1:44.92, behind Denmark’s 1:44.04.

Reaney also placed 10th and did not qualify for the finals with a time of 1:05.5 in the 100 breast semifinals.

Gators overwhelmed by KU, crowd

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

It’s hard to say if the Florida Gators became complacent after building a 15-point halftime lead or were just swallowed up by a more intense and passionate Kansas University men’s basketball team during the second half of Friday’s 71-65 KU

victory at Allen Fieldhouse.

Whatever the case, color Florida’s Chris Walker surprised.

“I feel like, (in) the first half, we had it,” said Walker, who finished with 12 points and five rebounds on 5-of-6 shooting. “But in the second half, the crowd got into it, they hit shots, and the

crowd kind of helped them out.”

Behind good ball movement, tough defense and some sloppy play from Kansas (6-1), the Gators responded to a slow start with a 14-0 run and built a 15-point lead by halftime. Florida coach Billy Donovan said he knew the game was far from finished at that point, but

went to the locker room pleased with the way his team had played.

“They were down 15 at half. They were at home, I knew they were gonna come out and really try to turn up the heat, and we responded pretty well at first,” Donovan said. “We had our opportunities.

We had our chances.”

Not willing to be out-

done on their home floor, the Jayhawks answered the Gators’ first-half run with a 33-7 run of their own in the second half, sparked largely by a different mind-set.

“They picked up their pressure and intensity, and instead of attacking it as a team, I think we backed up,” Florida’s Jon Horford. “You have to

credit them. They had a lot of fight, a lot of passion, and they did a great job.”

The Gators (3-4) played just eight guys, and only six played more than 15 minutes. But Horford said that was not the problem.

“Fatigue is not an excuse,” he said. “We’re all in shape. We have enough.”

times I would get unconfident last year. There’s no reason to get unconfident. You’ve got to be persistent. Hard work pays off. You have to keep shooting the ball.”

Freshman Cliff Alexander, who had 12 points and 10 rebounds (10 points, eight boards, 6-for-6 free throwing the second half), had 10 points in that surge, while Frank Mason III had seven and Devonté Graham five.

It was quite a difference in halves for the No. 11-ranked Jayhawks (6-1), who outscored unranked Florida (3-4), 47-26, the second 20 minutes.

“Our guys played great the second half. We were as good the second as we were bad the first,” Self said. In trailing by 15 at half, Friday’s rally erased the biggest halftime deficit in school history. KU also trailed UCLA by 15 in 1995.

“They were so much faster and athletic in the first half. Our best players had miserable halves (including Perry Ellis three points first half, seven the second). We had to change our attitudes. We played like spoiled little rotten brats the first half and probably coached that way, too. We tried to shrink the floor the second half. Our fans wouldn’t let us down. I kept telling them (Jayhawks), ‘If we play good, play hard, make a couple baskets, the place will go nuts.’ Certainly it did.”

Self was impressed with the transformation of freshman center Alexander the second half after scoring two points with two boards in the first.

KANSAS GUARD WAYNE SELDEN JR. HEADS TO THE BUCKET against Florida.

“We were not very pleased with Cliff the first half,” Self said. “I thought about ... I said, ‘I don’t know if I’ll play him the second half.’ It’s as upset as I was with (his) alertness and focus. The second half, he was great. We try hard, but our focus is not good at all,” Self added of the squad as a whole.

KU outrebounded Florida 24-9 after intermission.

“The guys played like it was a long game,” Self said. “They played smart the second half. We are probably a little tougher than I thought we were going in the game. The first half, we were a soft team and not a competitive team. They (Jayhawks) changed it the second half.

“It was a terrible start,” Self went on. KU hit 34.3 percent of its shots the first half and 48 the second. “Who would have thought Frank cutting the lead to 15 (with layup before halftime buzzer) would be a big play? One thing about this place, if you can hang around, if you are able to win each four minutes (during a comeback), the crowd will get into it. Once they did, we played with so much energy. The roles reversed the second half.

We played well, but we

also defended them so much better.”

The Jayhawks never felt it was a lost cause.

ESPN COMMENTATOR DICK VITALE HAS SOME FUN WITH THE KANSAS UNIVERSITY STUDENT SECTION prior to tipoff against Florida on Friday at Allen Fieldhouse. Vitale was on air for the Jayhawks’ 71-65 victory.

Vitale speaks mind on Jayhawks

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Dick Vitale — whose new book is titled, “It’s Awesome, Baby: 75 Years of Memories and a Lifetime of Opinions on the Game I Love” — definitely has an early-season take on Kansas University’s basketball team.

“Perimeter shooting …

I’m a little questionable about that one. I saw them against Michigan State (in KU’s title game victory at Orlando Classic),” the ESPN color announcer said Friday night before working the KU-Florida game in Allen Fieldhouse.

KU rallied for a 71-65 victory after hitting 41.7 percent of its shots, 28.6 percent of its threes.

“I know the kid — give me the right pronunciation; Bill (Self) told me to call

him Svi (Mykhailiuk) — Svi can shoot the ball, and he’s still a kid,” added Vitale, who turned 75 on June 9.

Mykhailiuk is just 17. “(Frank) Mason is up and down. He is a driver, slasher. (Wayne) Selden is up and down shooting the ball. They are good athletes. They are tough kids. They are very aggressive, and I like their inside play. (Cliff) Alexander is going to be a star, and (Perry) Ellis is a veteran who knows how to maneuver inside. I said on Twitter before the game, ‘Can Florida find a way to negate the inside game of Kansas?’” Vitale added.

Vitale mingled with and took pictures with fans before the game.

He has written a whopping 12 books. This one may prove to be his favorite, because it is an

endeavor for charity. All of Vitale’s proceeds from the sale of the book will go to pediatric cancer research through the V Foundation for Cancer Research.

“It’s a great Christmas gift. Every penny I make from that book, not 80 cents, not 90 cents, but every penny goes to kids battling cancer,” Vitale said. “The book is basically all my opinions in 75 years of life, one-anddone (rule), how Bill Self should be in the Hall of Fame. Bill Self, Billy Donovan and Tom Izzo .… they are the next three Hall of Famers, in my opinion.

“Being bullied as a kid.

All my opinions in 75 years.”

Of college hoops this season, Vitale said: “Right now, Kentucky

has been a step above everybody — nine McDonald’s All-Americans … the talent level … defensively they may be the best team I’ve seen. The beauty of college basketball, as good as they are, college basketball is not 4-out-of-7 (series). If it was 4-out-of-7 like the NBA, ship them the trophy right now.

“Duke is for real again, (Jahlil) Okafor is a tremendous freshman.

There are a lot of quality teams again this year.”

To get a personalized copy of Vitale’s book go to dickvitaleonline.com. It’s also available at amazon. com and various stores.

Vitale, who has been part of ESPN’s broadcast team since 1979 and actually called the network’s first game — Wisconsin at DePaul — on Dec. 5,

1979, has no plans to retire soon.

“It’s been a love affair for me,” he said. “I tell my bosses — they gave me a big extension recently — ‘I’ll never allow you to be embarrassed.’ People may disagree or may not like your style, that’s part of the business. If I ever got to the point I had (problems with) memory recollection, what’s happening, names out there, I’ll not embarrass myself.

I’ll be out of there.”

He has worked close to 1,000 games on the network. l

Tarik terrific so far: Former KU power forward Tarik Black, who made the roster of the NBA’s Houston Rockets as an undrafted free agent, is off to a great start to his pro career.

The 6-foot-11, 250-pounder averaged 4.7 points off 53.2 percent shooting and 5.6 rebounds while logging 17.4 minutes in the first 16 games.

“Who knows?” Self said, asked if rookie Black could wind up playing 10 or more years in the league. “He had 10 (points) and 11 (rebounds) last night (vs.

Memphis).

“Dwight (Howard, injured) is not playing.

His minutes are going to go way down whenever Dwight is playing.

I would think Tarik has put himself in position to play in the league for a while, without question. Tarik is a kid who got better and better. He was really a good player by the end of the (last) year.”

LHS boys romp in opener

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

It’s a new season for Lawrence High’s boys basketball players, as they donned their new white uniforms for their season opener on Friday against Emporia.

But even with a new look, it’s still the same old Lions that dominated teams throughout last season. They opened this year with a 64-43 victory at LHS, jumping to a 19-point halftime lead and cruising for the remainder of the game.

The night was dedicated to former assistant coach Kermit Aldridge, who died of cancer in March. All of the LHS players, in both the girls and boys basketball games, wore blue T-shirt warmups with Aldridge’s quote, “Getting a little stronger every day,” on the back.

There was a moment of silence before the boys game, and Aldridge’s family members and fiancee were honored at halftime.

Fans also wore blue, and some had cardboard cutouts of Aldridge’s face.

“I think we were so jacked up three days ago that it took it out of them,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said. “We played real hard, then we got a little lethargic and got a

But that’s to be expected on a night like tonight where you’re dedicating a game to a coach. It’s a little bit of an emotional roller coaster for these kids.”

After a slow start to the game, the Lions went on a 27-6 run over seven minutes in the middle of the first half.

Junior point guard Justin Roberts started the stretch with 10 straight points, drilling a pair of three-pointers before blowing by his defender for layups. Senior John Barbee added a left-handed dunk in transition, and senior Ben Rajewski hit a jumper after a pump fake to finish the first quarter with a 19-8 lead.

“They were just kind of letting off me, so I just either took what I had in a shot, or if they got up on top of me, then I just drove to the basket,” said Roberts, who finished with 14 points and three steals. “I just took whatever the defense gave me.”

In the second quarter, senior guard Anthony Bonner, a Colorado State signee, returned from the bench after running into foul trouble by scoring eight points in a 13-2 run to open the second quarter.

“Man, that’s probably the most excited I’ve been in my career,” said Bonner, who points to the sky to remember

cduderstadt@ljworld.com

The 1-2 punch of sophomore Madison Piper and senior Sarah Coversup powered the Free State High girls basketball team to a 61-44 victory over Topeka on Friday in the Firebirds’ season opener at FSHS. The Firebirds and Trojans were deadlocked at 17 early in the second quarter before Free State went on a 12-0 run and never looked back.

“You never had a feeling like we showed any signs of going down in the dumps or even a lull, and we just kept playing,” FSHS coach Bryan Duncan said. “I think that was the key. I think we really played 32 consecutive minutes tonight.”

While Piper and Coversup scored 23 and 20 points, respectively, they both deflected the credit for the season-opening win to the team’s performance as a whole.

“As long as my team is doing good, I’ll do

“She is a huge addition.

She really won the game for us with her presence on and off the court,” Piper said of Coversup. “She gave us energy and made

us want to play and made it more fun.”

Coversup wasted little time making an impact, scoring the first six points of the game on her way to knocking down eight of 11 shots from the field and four of five from the charity stripe.

The only thing that could keep Coversup from piling up more points was foul trouble.

She picked up her fourth foul with 6:44 to go in the third quarter, but the Firebirds continued to keep the Trojans at arm’s length.

“One of the highlights of the game was our bench play,” Duncan said.

“I don’t know if their stats were very impressive, but our Nos. 6, 7 and 8 were really good tonight.

(They were) steady, playing a lot of different roles.”

Duncan knew coming into the season opener that the Trojans would put up a good fight behind guard Adrianna Henderson. Henderson scored 17 points and knocked down

all three of Topeka’s three-point makes, but Duncan was pleased with how Piper and Cameryn Thomas contained the Trojans’ sharp-shooter.

“She’s just too good to try to, say, face-guard her and not let her do her thing,” Duncan said of Henderson. “We did know that she kind of likes to float up top a little bit and either drive it or shoot it.”

After coaching his first game at Lawrence High on Friday, Jeff Dickson was about as happy as he could be following the girls basketball team’s 5948 loss to Emporia.

The Lions trailed by as many as 17 points after the Spartans went on a 12-0 run midway through the second quarter, while LHS missed five shots and turned the ball over twice.

But in the second half, the Lions cut the lead to 10 in the third quarter behind points from senior point guard Marissa Pope, who finished with a game-high 25, freshman guard Talima Harjo and freshman wing E’lease Stafford.

Emporia (1-0) wouldn’t let them get any closer by scoring on its final three possessions of the third quarter, but the way the Lions fought back wasn’t lost on Dickson.

“I thought our kids

LAWRENCE HIGH’S SKYLAR DRUM tries to slip past an Emporia defender on Friday night at LHS. played hard. I thought they stayed positive,” Dickson said. “I thought they really battled. I’m proud of them. I think coming in, we knew it was going to be a process, and there’s a lot of things that we need to do better.

But the kids have really bought in to what we’re trying to do.”

Pope, a pass-first point guard for the Lions for the past three seasons, has turned into the team’s best offensive weapon.

She’s heard all offseason long from Dickson about stepping into a scorer’s role, and she attacked the

basket for 12 points in the fourth quarter, slashing past defenders. She also hit two three-pointers in the game when her defender backed off and gave her space behind the arc.

“I’m a true point guard, so I’ll take an assist over scoring any day,” Pope said. “But it was a nice change.”

The Lions (0-1) don’t have many returners from last year’s rotation, but the freshmen and sophomores never looked overwhelmed in their varsity debut.

Stafford scored nine

Wycoff pours in 44 in Seabury’s victory J-W Staff Reports

Boys Seabury 91, Heritage Christian 25 Sophomore Mikey Wycoff scored 44 points to lead the Bishop Seabury boys basketball team to a 91-25 victory in its opener Friday against Topeka Heritage Christian.

Wycoff got some help from his teammates as well, with Zach Mcdermott scoring 20 points and Max Easter chipping in 11.

AGENT SPOTLIGHT Greta Carter-Wilson Realtor®

785-550-4844 gretacw@kw.com www.gretakw.kwrealty.com Where did you grow up? I was born in Syracuse, NY but grew up in Lincoln, NE and Lawrence, KS. What area do you live in now? I live in the Northwest part of Lawrence.

What do you like most about it? I like watching the growth. I grew up not far from where I live now in Lawrence. I remember when “drag strip alley” was right outside of town. Ha ha now it’s part of town and no longer drag strip alley but instead thriving with growth.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working? Having dinner with my eldest daughter and her husband, especially when he cooks, visiting my youngest daughter in Colorado and paintballing with my son. I also enjoy sporting events, golfing, going to movies, traveling and just relaxing at home.

How long have you worked in Real Estate? I started in real estate in 2005.

What did you do before that? Prior to Real Estate I ran my own housecleaning business. I worked off of referrals only. I

classifieds@ljworld.com

worked with people who knew me and trusted me; a relationship business just like real estate.

What is your specialty? My specialty is residential real estate. I work with Buyer’s and Seller’s but working with Buyer’s is like being a detective or figuring out a puzzle. Buyers give you their criteria and the hunt is on!

What designations do you have and what does that mean for the people you work with? I am honored to have been recently elected as a Director of the Lawrence Board of Realtors for the 2015 – 2016 term.

What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do? Most gratifying – Seeing my clients happy and satisfied along with knowing I’ve played a part in the achievement of their goals. It is also gratifying to work under the umbrella of a fabulous company. Keller Williams Realty provides the positive, encouraging environment I need to build my business successfully. Most challenging – Maintaining the patience to build my business the right way, one client at a time with exceptional service and care for each one.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? One time I took some homebuyers to an auction, which was a really unique experience. Auctions are an entirely different animal from traditional real estate sales, so I learned a lot.

What are the top 3 things that separate you from your competition?

I tailor my service to the unique goals of each person or family. I’m disciplined.

When I partner with an individual or family, I am committed to their objective.

I have no shortage of energy and no task is too daunting. From trekking through snow to negotiating with sub-contractors, I’ll do whatever it takes to find the perfect solutions to fit my client’s needs.

And I’m not too embarrassed to admit I’ve even fallen in a man-hole while on the job.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home? My tip for someone looking to buy or sell real estate …of course, seek out a reputable Realtor!

What do you see in the future for real estate sales/prices? Lawrence will continue to grow, positive growth. Home prices will slowly increase followed by interest rates.

Why should someone choose you as their real estate agent? I love using my creativity and resourcefulness to help my clients realize plans they didn’t think they could achieve on their own. I represent my clients fully, putting their needs as my priority. I provide service and care second to none.

What is the most unique property you’ve listed or sold? All properties are unique in their own way, but none stand out to me as the most unique.

Lafawnda

fresca

You can’t tell from looking at her, but Fresca is 7 years old. She is a beautiful Domestic Longhair with grey black torbie markings. Her small, not quite 7 lbs., makes her appear even more kitten like. She came in with several other cats, so we know that she will be able to adapt to a multi-cat home.

She does qualify for our Seniors for Seniors program, so bring your photo id and take her home.

Brady

There is a reason these dogs are called “Great” Pyrenees. These guys are wonderful family dogs and make the best companion you could ask for. Brady should be no exception. He is a stately 5 year old guy with an easy way about him. He doesn’t pull on the leash and thoroughly enjoys being brushed. He is a big boy at about 88 lbs., so make sure you have plenty of room for him to stretch out.

frank

Frank is one of a trio of cats that came in together about a month ago. He is about 1 year old and has a white and black coat. He is a Domestic Short Hair and weighs in around 8 lbs. Of the three, he is the one you can count on to be calm and ever so sweet.

He is counting on that to get himself a home for the holidays. Just come and ask for Frank.

wiLLa

Willa might appear reserved when you first meet her, but what we have discovered is, she doesn’t care for other cats. Once you go in for the snuggle, she is ready and willing. She is a gorgeous Domestic Medium Hair mix with black red and white markings. Her beauty is best appreciated in person, so you can get the full view. She is 7 years old , so she qualigies for the senior special.

Butters

Butters has a lot to be thankful for, but the one thing she is wishing for is a her very own home with her very own family. She has seen a lot in her 6 years, but this adorable little Miniature Pinscher still has plenty to experience. Her coat is black and red and she only weighs about 10 lbs. She has her heart set on being the only love in your life.

Maggie

There may be may cats who look like Maggie, but there is only one of her.

She is a Domestic Short Hair mix with torbie markings. Her quiet easygoing demeanor is one of her best assets.

Her medium size makes her the perfect snuggle buddy candidate. At 2 years, she is over the kitten stage, but still ready to be playful. Have your cocoa and a good movie ready and be prepared for a snuggle fest.

raMsis

Ramsis had some doubts about getting his picture taken, but he did like the treats that were part of the process, so he tried really hard to be attentive. He is a very handsome American Pit Bull mix. He has a black coat with a nice white blaze on his chest. He is only 1 year old and would love to have an active running partner to stay in shape with.

Come meet this 85 lb. chunk today.

sprite

Did you know that in folklore a “sprite” is a supernatural legendary creature? They are often elf-like and this includes fairies and pixies. Our little Sprite will definitely remind you of one of these mythical creatures. She is a Domestic Short Hair with brown orange and white calico colors. She weighs a mere 7 lbs. and has a soft, almost waif like face. She is only 1 year old, so she should be able to enchant you for years to come.

reno

Reno wants a new collar and leash of his very own and if a new family happens to be at the other end of them, he would like that too.

He would like older kids in the family please.

Come meet him today.

Dear Annie: You gave great advice to “Too Small,” the teenage boy who is worried that his short stature means he will never have a girlfriend.

I recommend he check his hygiene, making sure it’s impeccable.

He also should make sure his clothes are neat, clean and pressed and learn some communication skills so he’s an excellent conversationalist and a great listener.

I’d suggest he develop some varied interests and make education a priority. It’s personally appealing and something you do for yourself that no one can take away from you. Selfconfidence is extremely sexy! Last but not least, he should learn to dance.

Yes, really! Girls of all ages love to dance. The guy who can dance is the hit of every gather-

ing. The grumps are sitting on the sidelines. Ultimately, a well-rounded person is a woman’s dream date. — B. Dear B.: We were surprised by the number of readers who suggested he learn to dance as a way to be irresistible to women.

Ringwald returns for bland special A star who all but defined the 1980s returns to the small screen in a flashback to the 1960s. Molly Ringwald stars in “Wishin’ and Hopin’” (7 p.m., Lifetime), a coming-of-age drama set in a Catholic school milieu during Christmas 1964.

Based on Wally Lamb’s bestselling novel, “Wishin’” gets many details right. It captures a mid-century Catholic culture where some feared communism more than hell and where children held nuns and priests in fear and awe mixed with an undercurrent of pity and derision. It evokes a modest culture of veiled and kerchiefed women navigating a wider world of bikinis, short skirts and Life magazine articles touting the existence of topless bathing suits.

Wyatt Ralff stars as Felix Funicello, a 10-year-old just beginning to shed his baby fat and childish fears for more adult concerns. He enjoys mild celebrity as the cousin of the famous Mouseketeer and beach movie star, Annette. Annabella Sciorra stars as Felix’s loving and quite fashion-conscious mother.

Adult Felix (voiced by Chevy Chase) narrates the story of a very special Christmas when a fetching French-accented lay instructor, Madame Frechette (Ringwald), arrived as a substitute for a daft and dysfunctional nun (Cheri Oteri). That season also brought the arrival of a spunky foreign student, Felix’s appearance on a local children’s TV show, his introduction to horror movies, dimly understood dirty jokes and a Christmas pageant for the ages.

While you have to admire any film that casts Meat Loaf as a tipsy priest, “Wishin’” never quite establishes a credible tone or even a narrative flow.

Not to talk shop, but the version I was given to review seemed only barely edited. Perhaps the final version will congeal into something more entertaining. But that could take a Christmas miracle.

Tonight’s other highlights

Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed star in the 1946 holiday favorite “It’s a Wonderful Life” (7 p.m., NBC).

Nicole Kidman, Hugh Bonneville, Julie Walters and Take That appear on “The Graham Norton Show” (9 p.m., BBC America).

BIRTHDAYS Comedian Steven Wright is Rock musician Peter Buck is 58.

day, at 32, he is 5-foot4, married with three boys, a youth minister and full of life. What you do with your life is more important than your stature.

Florida: My son was born prematurely and had many health issues growing up. But he saw a growth spurt at age 27, raising his height by several inches. He is well educated and successful. We are ALL different in some way.

Redondo Beach, Calif.: Suggest that he Google one of the most famous Marines in our history: Lt. General Victor Krulak. Though 5-foot-4 and 116 pounds, Krulak’s nickname was “Brute.” He fought in WWII, Korea and Vietnam and was one of the most decorated Marines in the history of the Corps.

cup of coffee is a great way to jump-start the day; yet, why depend on coffee alone to get going? While you’re waiting for it to brew, practice the restorative power of morning prayer. It will give you strength and guidance to deal with whatever the day may bring.

David relied on God, “Morning by morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; morning by morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.” (Psalm 5.3) Your Heavenly Father will walk beside you through your day if you ask Him to. Each week, visit with Him in His Sanctuary and give praise for His guidance.
