University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little.

“In an era when students, and their parents especially, are interested in qualifying the extrinsic value of degrees, the focus is often on how can your education lead you to get a specific job,” Gray-Little said. “And that is understandable why that focus would be there, but I think it leads us to think of things in the short term.”

Although individual institutions organize their schools and curricula differently, the panel said liberal arts — sometimes referred to as a “liberal education” — generally include math and natural sciences such as chemistry and biology; humanities courses such as history, literature and foreign language; social sciences like psychology and sociology; and sometimes even fine arts such as music, dance and theater.

The Board of Regents asked for a report about the economic and social value of liberal arts degrees in September, specifically requesting information about the critical thinking and communication skills those programs teach, as well as wage and employment data for undergraduates receiving such degrees.

The request was partly in response to messages from the Kansas Legislature, as well as Gov.

After the accident, Liston’s legs had to be amputated above the knee.

Blood test results, which Huff ordered suppressed in 2013 because the blood draw was taken without Kuszmaul’s consent, showed Kuszmaul had a blood-alcohol content of 0.25 — three times the legal limit of 0.08 — when he struck Liston.

Even without the test results, Huff said she could find Kuszmaul guilty because of testimony during the trial last week in which two Lawrence police officers, Brett Horner and Ronald Ivener, said Kuszmaul “smelled strongly” of marijuana and alcohol after the incident.

“A chemical test is not necessary,” Huff said.

Sam Brownback, urging the Regents institutions to put more focus on programs that produce tangible benefits for the Kansas economy and programs that attract significant outside research funding.

But Gray-Little said that kind of thinking tends to put humanities and arts programs at a disadvantage.

“We don’t expect a composer or conductor to do a cost-benefit analysis of their musical composition, and we don’t especially think it’s efficient for a one-minute waltz to be played in 30 seconds,” she said. “That’s not the kind of efficiency we want. And yet we begin to talk about education and performances in those areas as if that’s the kind of indicator we should use.”

The report presented to the board cited studies showing that people earning a four-year bachelor’s degree, regardless of their major, earn significantly higher incomes than people with only a high school diploma. But it also noted that people with liberal arts degrees tend to earn slightly less than those who earn professional degrees.

Furthermore, the report noted that many people who earn a liberal arts bachelor’s degree also go into graduate programs such as law school or other professional training programs.

But the pressure for universities to show the tangible economic benefit of their programs isn’t unique to Kansas.

“Colleges and universities are being called on to abandon their commitment to provide a broad liberal education and instead focus on connecting college education more directly to the needs of the economy,” said Fort Hays State University Provost Chris Crawford.

Even within the universities themselves, Crawford said, liberal arts courses are often considered the “broccoli curriculum.”

“Faculty tell students they must take general education classes because they are good for you.

They may not taste that good, but they’re good for you,” he said. “And that’s essentially what the broccoli curriculum is.

Advisers say we need to get you into this general education class so we can get it out of the way. So even in our own rhetoric, we reinforce that broccoli curriculum.”

Gray-Little said liberal arts programs should be viewed differently from professional degree programs because they teach the kind of skills that are needed in all segments of society and the economy.

“A democracy needs educated, enlightened citizens, and citizens who are engaged in their communities and the political structure of their societies,” she said. “Like art or music, the work created by our scholars can be appreciated for its own sake.”

by circumstantial evidence.”

Additionally, Huff said that Kuszmaul’s refusal to submit to alcohol or drug testing was indicative of guilt.

“Statute provides that a person’s refusal to submit to a test may be admissible in a DUI case,” Huff said. “I find that his refusal shows consciousness of guilt.”

Huff said she found Kuszmaul guilty of refusing to submit to an alcohol or drug test because neither the defense nor prosecution disputed the claim.

She said she found Kuszmaul guilty of possession of marijuana because of Horner’s trial testimony that a little over a gram and a half of marijuana was discovered in a plastic baggie inside a bookbag in the vehicle that also contained Kuszmaul’s checkbook.

Kuszmaul’s attorney, Thomas Bath Jr., had argued at the bench trial that Kuszmaul could not be convicted of misdemeanor possession of marijuana based on the location of

BRIEFLY D.A. seeks death Kan. House speaker penalty in shootings changes panel leaders Olathe — A Kansas prosecutor will seek the death penalty against a white supremacist from Missouri who was ruled competent Thursday to face trial on charges of killing three people at two Jewish sites in suburban Kansas City.

Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe announced his intention to seek the death penalty at a hearing for Frazier Glenn Miller, 74, of Aurora, Mo., who has said he felt it was his patriotic duty to kill Jews.

Miller is accused of killing Dr. William Lewis Corporon, 69, and his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood, who were at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City on April 13 for a singing contest audition.

He also is accused of fatally shooting 53-year-old Terri LaManno, who was visiting her mother at a Jewish retirement home in nearby Overland Park.

None of the victims were Jewish.

Topeka — Kansas House Speaker Ray Merrick has replaced the leaders of committees that draft budget proposals and review education legislation, his office confirmed Thursday, along with appointments filling vacancies in two other key chairmanships.

Merrick spokeswoman Rachel Whitten said Rep. Ron Ryckman Jr., of Olathe, will replace Rep. Gene Suellentrop, of Wichita, as chairman of the budgetwriting Appropriations Committee.

The job is considered the House’s top committee chairmanship. It will have added importance after lawmakers convene their next annual session Jan. 12 because the state must close budget shortfalls totaling more than $710 million for the current fiscal year and the one beginning in July.

Merrick is a Stilwell Republican, and all chairmen are Republicans because the GOP will enjoy a 97-28 majority when the new session opens.

Campaign expected to fall short $125K unless donations increase

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

The major fundraising campaign for the United Way of Douglas County is at risk of falling short of its goal for the second year in a row.

Leaders with the United Way said the campaign is projected to fall about $125,000 short of its $1.8 million goal, unless giving increases significantly before the end of the year.

“If we don’t reach the goal, it will impact the ability of our nonprofit agencies to provide all the services they have provided in the past,”

said Brian Iverson, cochair of the campaign.

“There is no way to get around that.”

The fundraising drive last year fell about $100,000 short of its goal, which also was $1.8 million. But United Way leaders were able to use reserve funds to make up much of the shortfall, said Colleen Gregoire, vice president and campaign manager.

Gregoire said the United Way wouldn’t be able to count on reserve funds to make up any shortfall this year.

of Leawood, said he did not want a performancebased budget model to be used as a tool for cutting existing budgets.

“I have become convinced in following the work of this group (that developed the proposal) that some new funding as an incentive is a critical component of doing this,” Logan said. “And so I would like a statement in there that if there is not going to be any new funding that the study of the proposal be deferred for a year.”

The donation is the first by private industry toward the center, said Hugh Carter, vice president of external affairs for the Lawrence chamber of commerce. The Peaslee Center board has made arrangements for the Douglas County Community Foundation to accept donations on behalf of the center.

“Industry leaders have been very supportive of the idea of the center,”

Carter said. “They expressed a willingness to donate some equipment and other support. We’re hoping this gift will spur some interest from others that we haven’t spoken to yet.”

The center still has significant remodeling and equipment costs before it can open in the fall.

Carter said he expects to approach the Lawrence City Commission about the Douglas County Commission about each group providing $500,000 in funding to help with interior renovations of the building, which is just northeast of the 31st and Haskell streets intersection.

Carter said he anticipates having a funding request before the commissions in January. Originally Carter had expected to make the funding requests in December but said the group decided to gather more detailed cost estimates on the renovation work that is needed.

The United Way gives funding to 29 nonprofit agencies that provide services in one of three strategic areas: education, self-sufficiency and health.

extra support to students at Kennedy Elementary School in eastern Lawrence has helped math proficiency levels rise to 90 percent, up from 54 percent in 2011. Reading proficiency has risen to 83 percent, up from 74 percent in 2012. l A collaboration between Health Care Access and Visiting Nurses Association is providing uninsured patients with physical therapy to help them manage pain.

During the first three months of the program, emergency room visits by those patients have declined by 40 percent.

Iverson said board members of the United Way would be doing significant outreach to potential donors before the end of the year. He said board members are concerned that the organization has not increased its fundraising goal in recent years and is still having difficulty reaching the number.

He said the organization needs to figure out how to increase the number of households that give to the campaign. The county has about 110,000 people, while about 5,300 households or orga-

nizations give to the United Way campaign.

“We think we’ll increase that number this year, and hopefully over time that deepening of the donor pool will allow our giving to increase. But it won’t happen overnight.”

People interested in making a donation to the United Way can go to the organization’s website at unitedwaydgco. org or can call the office at 843-6626.

funding allotment for the following year.

But some lawmakers think the Legislature should have more of a direct hand in setting those goals and deciding exactly how to tie funding to the performance benchmarks.

At the regents’ annual retreat in August, several lawmakers urged the board to develop a performance-based budgeting plan that could be considered by the 2015 Legislature.

Among the lawmakers at that meeting was Sen. Tom Arpke, R-Salina, who said in a separate interview after the regents meeting that lawmakers are likely to discuss the idea in the coming session anyway.

“I’m certainly willing to look at anything they’ve got to offer that would help us incent universities to up their four-year graduation rate,” Arpke said.

“Right now, that stands at around 31 percent. If we can get up into the 50-60 percent range graduating in four years instead of six

years, that helps with the cost of student loans. We should be there already.

It’s something we’ve let slip over the years.”

Regents spokeswoman Breeze Richardson said in 2013 the fouryear graduation rate in Kansas was actually just 26 percent, while the six-year rate was 56 percent.

But she said those figures don’t reflect the number of students who start college at one institution and finish somewhere else. Regardless of how long it takes a student to finish, she said, those students are counted as not having graduated in four years at the institution where they started.

She also said the high cost of college tuition prevents many students from graduating in four years because they can only afford to go parttime and have to work while they’re in school.

“College today is very different than it was in the 1960s,” Richardson said.

A task force appointed to come up with a proposal offered its plan to the regents Thursday. It

calls for setting specific goals for each university and offering incentivebased payments based on things like the number of certificates and degrees awarded and the number of students who complete mathematics and language arts gateway courses during their freshman year.

It would also provide additional funding within each benchmark for students who come from traditionally underserved populations.

This is the second time McLinn’s trial has been delayed.

In June, McLinn waived her right to a speedy trial to push her originally scheduled August trial to the Jan. 5, 2015, date.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson is seeking a “hard 50” sentence — or 50 years in prison — for McLinn. Carl Cornwell, McLinn’s attorney, has previously said his client suffers from mental illness and has never denied killing Sasko.

CLARIFICATION A story published in Thursday’s JournalWorld about reorganization at Kansas University Hospital should have emphasized that the reorganization is between the hospital and various physician groups that manage the clinical practices of doctors who are also teaching faculty at the KU Medical Center. The Medical Center itself is not part of the reorganization. KU Hospital officials say that the state’s decision not to expand Medicaid jeopardizes the hospital’s ability to grow and make new investments in facilities and staff, but it does not threaten the hospital’s ability to survive financially.

EDITORIALS

A Kansas plan Other states are finding ways to tailor Medicaid expansion programs to meet their individual needs. Kansas should try to do the same.

O

fficials at two hospitals of special interest to Lawrence are sounding the alarm about the impact the state’s refusal to expand Medicaid is having on their institutions.

They are joined by the Kansas Hospital Association, which recently released a report that indicates the state lost $334 million in federal funding in 2014 and stands to lose another $380 million next year by not expanding Medicaid. The report estimates that decision resulted in 3,000 fewer jobs being created in 2014 — not just jobs in health care fields but in other sectors where health care workers would spend their earnings.

Perhaps the biggest impact, however, is felt by Kansas hospitals, which are receiving reduced reimbursement for Medicare patients while seeing their costs for indigent care grow. Medicare payments were reduced to help pay for the expanded Medicaid program, but since Kansas rejected that expansion, those dollars are simply being lost to Kansas providers and going to other states that expanded their Medicaid programs.

Kansas University Hospital officials announced this week that they were undertaking a major reorganization to try to deal with the revenue loss, but told the Kansas Board of Regents that even the reorganization might not allow the hospital to survive without an expansion of Medicaid. KU Hospital lost over $100 million in Medicare reimbursements last year, according to Bob Page, hospital president and CEO, and its uncompensated care costs rose to $59 million. The rate of uncompensated care in Kansas “actually grew more than any other state in the United States last year,” according to Doug Girod, executive vice chancellor for the KU Medical Center. While California and Washington, two states that expanded Medicare, cut their uncompensated care rate below 3 percent, Girod said, the rate in Kansas soared by more than 12 percent.

Gene Meyer, president and CEO of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, also addressed the situation with Medicaid (known as KanCare in Kansas) in a column published in Monday’s JournalWorld. LMH will write off about $15 million in charity care this year and an estimated $16 million next year.

The Kansas governor and state legislators are adamantly opposed to expanding Medicaid but other states that initially took the same stand are finding ways to tailor Medicaid programs to meet their individual requirements. If the KanCare program is expanded in 2016, the hospital association estimates, Kansas could receive more than $2.2 billion in federal funds over the next five years — money that would provide care for thousands of Kansas residents, while also supporting the Kansas economy.

As Meyer noted in his column, Kansas has an opportunity to “thoughtfully develop a unique, Kansas-based solution” to use federal funds to enhance the KanCare program. We urge state lawmakers to give this issue another look.

Massacre should motivate Pakistan Pakistanis, and sympathizers the world over, are mourning the Taliban’s horrific massacre of at least 132 schoolchildren and 13 staff in a crowded school in Peshawar.

On the surface, this obscene assault — in which the Pakistani Taliban hunted down children cowering under desks and burned a teacher to death — seems to have stiffened the backbones of Pakistan’s politicians, who have long waffled about confronting the country’s radical Islamists.

After the attack, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif swore to eradicate terrorism from the country. That would be great news not only for Pakistanis, but for the world: It would end the nightmare threat that terrorists might seize some of the country’s arsenal of nuclear weapons, a threat that makes Pakistan the world’s most dangerous country.

Let us hope, in the wake of this horror, that Sharif finally means it. Yet there are plenty of reasons to doubt Pakistan’s leaders will confront the jihadi cancer that is destroying their state.

After all, the Pakistani Taliban’s war on children has been going on for decades, virtually unchallenged. The International Crisis Group estimates that militants attacked about a thousand schools between 2009 and 2012. In late 2009, the Taliban threw a bomb into a cafeteria for female students at the leading International Islamic University in Islamabad, killing six, yet leaders

After the attack, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif swore to eradicate terrorism from the country.

That would be great news not only for Pakistanis, but for the world …” of Pakistan’s religious political parties refused to condemn the group’s action.

In October 2012, the Pakistani Taliban shot 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai in the head for publicly promoting girls’ education. The government expressed outrage then, too.

Yet, despite her 2014 Nobel Prize — which she received only days before the Peshawar massacre — Malala is not honored in her own country; she can’t go home because of the danger of assassination.

Meantime, Pakistan’s education system is a disaster, leaving one-fifth of children without schooling while the curriculum extols jihad and religious intolerance. Thousands of madrassas (religious schools) actually train children to join the Taliban, yet politicians have backed off efforts to reform the ma-

drassa curriculum because of strong clerical opposition.

How can one eradicate the terrorists in Pakistan when madrassas keep churning out more recruits?

And how can one believe Sharif when political and military leaders have been so conflicted about confronting the jihadis, despite years of atrocious attacks on civilians?

There have been other heinous attacks in Peshawar, like last year’s bomb in an Anglican church, which killed 85 people.

Yet Imran Khan — whose party controls the northwestern province in which Peshawar sits — refused until now to criticize the Taliban. Sharif also long waffled on taking on the group.

Moreover, the Pakistani military distinguished for years (despite denials) between “bad” Taliban who attacked them and “good Taliban” — meaning jihadi groups they helped form and train in order to attack their archenemy, India, in Kashmir. The “good” groups included the Afghan Taliban, whom the Pakistani military saw as a hedge against Indian interests in Afghanistan. And they included Pakistani jihadi groups that have slaughtered Pakistani minorities — including Shiites, Hazaras, Ahmadis, and Christians — in their places of worship and in processions.

Perhaps this week’s slaughter of children, in a school that served many military families, will change the thinking. Pakistan’s new army commander, Gen. Raheel Sharif, is said to regard all Taliban as an existential threat and is conduct-

ing a more far-reaching campaign against the militants than did his predecessor. As for Nawaz Sharif (no relation to Gen. Sharif), he swore this week that “there will be no differentiation between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ Taliban.”

We’ll see.

“I’m not very optimistic that things will change because somebody says so,” I was told by Farahnaz Ispahani, a former Pakistani member of parliament and close aide to former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

Bhutto was slain in 2009 by the Pakistani Taliban as she ran for reelection on a platform that labeled the group an “existential threat.”

“Unless the political and military leadership decides that strategic depth (against India) is not worth all these dead children, nothing will change,” said Ispahani. She noted that Hafiz Saeed, allegedly the mastermind of the grisly 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai, India, and leader of the terrorist group Jama’at-ud-Da’wah, still appears openly on Pakistani TV and leads massive rallies.

“Until they say they will fight all terrorist groups, with no exceptions, nothing will change,” Ispahani added.

“There has to be a change in the leadership’s mindset. ... I need to see something solid.

“I hope for the sake of my country we will commemorate these dead boys and girls by saying ‘No’ to all terrorists.”

Amen to that.

U.S.-Cuba shift may not be ‘historic’ While President Barack Obama’s announcement Wednesday that he will normalize relations with Cuba is the biggest diplomatic breakthrough with the island after six decades of hostilities, his speech may have been less “historic” than he portrayed it, according to numerous U.S. congressional sources and Cuba experts.

“I don’t think this is going to amount to much,” said Jaime Suchlicki, head of the Cuban Institute at the University of Miami. “Regardless of what President Obama said today, he needs congressional approval for making any major changes in U.S. relations with Cuba.”

Suchlicki and other experts cited four reason why the announcement in the short term might not turn out to be as significant as many in the administration believe.

Andres Oppenheimer

“

aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

First, while the 1960 U.S. embargo on Cuba has been gradually eroded over the decades … the U.S. economic sanctions remain in place, and can only be lifted by Congress.”

First, while the 1960 U.S. embargo on Cuba has been gradually eroded over the decades and the United States has become the largest supplier of food and agricultural products to the island, the U.S. economic sanctions remain in place, and can only be lifted by Congress. Overall, American companies are still barred from buying from or selling to Cuba, or to extend credit to the island without special U.S. government permits.

In his speech Wednesday, Obama announced, among other things, plans to open a U.S. Embassy in Havana, a dramatic increase in exceptions to the travel ban on Americans wanting to visit Cuba, an expansion of commercial activities under new exceptions to the U.S. embargo and possible U.S. support for loans from multi-lateral financial institutions to Cuba. Obama, who also announced the release of U.S. subcontractor Alan Gross from Cuban prison, said the measures are “the most significant changes in our (Cuba) policy in more than 50 years.”

Second, with the Republican take-

over of Congress in the Nov. 4 midterm elections, a lifting of the embargo is highly unlikely. What’s more, there will be strong pressure from CubanAmerican legislators to block Obama’s measures,the experts say.

Republican leaders such as Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida are already denouncing Obama for allegedly exceeding his presidential authority with Wednesday’s announcements of increased U.S. travel and commerce to Cuba.

Third, while there has been no U.S. Embassy in Cuba since 1961, the United States has had a permanent diplomatic mission on the island ever since, known as the U.S. Interests Section in Havana.

By some measures, it is already one of the largest foreign diplomatic missions on the island, and its transformation into a U.S. Embassy may only be a change in name.

“This is a game of smoke and mirrors,” said Frank Calzon, head of the Center for a Free Cuba, about the White House’s plans for an embassy on the island.

“Many people ignore the fact that there are already more American diplomats in Cuba than there are Canadian, Spanish or even Russian diplomats there.”

In addition, Republicans in Congress are likely to block Obama’s nomination of a U.S. ambassador to Cuba, as they have recently done with his nominee to Argentina and other less contentious countries.

Fourth, some Cuba watchers argue that the Castro regime may sabotage the upcoming normalization talks because it needs to maintain a confrontation with the United States for domestic political reasons. Cuba has long argued that it cannot allow fundamental freedoms on the island because it is under attack from the United States,

and a full normalization of U.S.-Cuban ties would seriously undermine its main argument to maintain a police state on the island, they say.

In his address to the nation announcing his agreement with Obama to swap prisoners and start normalization talks, Cuban leader Raúl Castro appeared in full military uniform and stressed that the U.S.-Cuban confrontation is far from over.

“This does not mean that the main (thing) has been resolved,” a sternlooking Castro said, reading from a prepared text. “The economic, commercial and financial blockade that causes enormous human and economic damages to our people must end.”

In the past, especially during Fidel Castro’s years in power, Cuba often sabotaged U.S. efforts to improve bilateral relations, historians say.

But this time may be different, because Raúl Castro may not react like his older brother, other Cuba watchers say. In addition, Cuba is facing a possible loss of Venezuela’s oil subsidies, and Raúl Castro may be most interested in improving ties with Washington to jump-start the island’s economy. “(U.S.) trade and financial liberalization bodes well for the Castro regime, which is facing economic strain as its largest benefactor, Venezuela, is facing a liquidity crisis and has been forced to reduce its aid to Cuba,” says Risa Grais-Targow, a Latin American analyst with the Eurasia Group. “The government had few options but to accelerate the pace of Cuba’s opening, given its lack of access to international markets and financial institutions.”

A woman arrested Wednesday after allegedly stealing a man’s cellphone following a near car accident was charged Thursday with one count of battery and theft.

Sgt. Amy Rhoads of the Lawrence Police Department said a 31-year-old Lawrence man was riding a bicycle near 11th and New Jersey streets Wednesday afternoon when Kylene Nicole Dickerson nearly struck the man with her vehicle.

The victim then used his phone to photograph the vehicle before a confrontation ensued with the driver.

Rhoads said the suspect grabbed the phone and drove away.

“Conditions in the coming years will feel much more like a normal banking environment,” Robert De-Young, director of the Center for Banking Excellence and author of the report, said in a KU news release.

The full report, available online, includes data on Kansas banks by asset size, return on assets, return on equity and other categories.

It also lists the top 10 percent of banks in the state in the same categories.

The forecast for Kansas banks, according to the report, includes gradual growth in lending and profitability as banks continue their traditional focus on helping local businesses and households solve their pressing financial problems.

Beaty dispenses recruiting credit to staff

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Helping hands

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Newly hired Kansas University football coach David Beaty has received a lot of praise for his early run of success on the recruiting trail that landed eight midyear junior-college transfers on Wednesday.

But Beaty is the last one who’s actually taking any of the credit.

“Reggie Mitchell is everything he is advertised to be in terms of building relationships and recruiting,” Beaty said Thursday in an inBeaty terview with the JournalWorld. “He and Clint B o w e n , those guys have done a super job.

Not good, I mean a great Mitchell job. I’m talking about hustling now.”

From Baltimore to Chicago to a dozen places in Texas and several stops Bowen in between, Beaty, Bowen and Mitchell used the final week of the open recruiting period to address some of the team’s most important needs through the junior-college ranks. The result of little sleep and even less family time was a haul that Beaty said was “a little bit better” than he expected, and, again, he credited Bowen and Mitchell for holding the group together while Kansas operated without a full-time head coach.

“I’m not sure that I could’ve done near this without Clint and Reggie,” Beaty said. “Those guys are the guys who deserve the credit for this. I’m the head coach and I get way too much praise when things go good and it shouldn’t be that way. Those guys are the boots on the ground, and they did a hell of a job.”

KU’s mid-year transfer class included three offensive linemen (D’Andre Banks, Jayson Rhodes and Will Smith), three defensive backs (Bazie Bates, M.J. Mathis and Brandon Stewart), one defensive lineman (Jacky Dezir) and one running back (Ke’aun Kinner).

On Thursday, Kinner was named the national junior college offensive player of the year, but Beaty said all eight players were guys he expected to make an early impact.

“When you take a juniorcollege kid, you have to know that he is going to be able to compete for a starting job,” Beaty said. “And all these guys that we have here, based on the people we have on our team, they all fit that mold. They will have a chance to come in and compete for a starting job. That’s the only thing we’ll promise to anyone.”

Beaty has talked often about the importance of building relationships and finding the right players who fit the system, but he said what he and his staff

Jayhawks take annual Christmas shopping trip

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Weighed down while wearing a boot on his right foot, Kansas University freshman Devonté Graham whizzed through the Iowa Street Wal-Mart on a motorized shopping cart Thursday night.

“It was Kelly’s idea. He said, ‘Dude, you should get on the scooter because of your boot.’ That’s my boy taking care of me. I just hopped up here to do some shopping,” Graham, KU’s point guard who is out a month or more with a sprained right big toe, said, smiling.

Graham, Oubre and their KU basketball teammates bought Christmas gifts for individuals in 15 different families as part of the Jayhawks’ “Santa’s Helpers” program.

It’s the 18th straight year KU’s players have shopped with money raised by former KU player Roger Morningstar and his wife, Linda, the

“This is a great time of year,” said Graham, a native of Raleigh, North Carolina, who is definitely not feeling sorry for himself in spite of his injury sustained against Georgetown on Dec. 10. “Nobody is letting me get down.

Everybody is keeping me

positive. I’m just waiting to recover,” added Graham, who had some dolls, boots and jackets in his cart.

Fellow freshman Oubre enjoyed looking for gifts for one boy and four girls.

“It makes me happy. It’s definitely a blessing to do this for these kids. To do this with my teammates,

my brothers, is definitely something I’ll keep in mind forever,” the New Orleans native said. “I’ve got some Hot Wheels here. Everybody loves Hot Wheels when they are 4 years old. He’s the only boy in the family. I’m trying to give him the biggest Christmas he can ever imagine. I’m trying to do it for him.”

Sophomore Brannen Greene was trying his best to locate a “Crank Style Weather Radio,” while dodging frosh Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, who breezed by while riding his cart like a bike.

“I’ve got boots, a blender, a vacuum for a 15-year-old boy and 36-year-old mom,” Ukraine native Mykhailiuk said, wishing there were more toys on the wish list of the family provided to him

CITY SHOWDOWN

Lions getting lift from supporting cast

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High senior Anthony Bonner and junior Justin Roberts are the faces of the boys basketball team this season.

They lead the team in scoring, attract multiple defensive schemes and they grab the headlines. But the top-ranked team in Class 6A wouldn’t be where it is without a strong supporting cast.

The Lions have several players who have stepped into new roles this year and kept the team playing at such a high level. They will all be on display against Free State in the City Showdown at 7 tonight at FSHS. “This team is kind of spePlease see FOOTBALL, page 3C cial in the sense that we’ve

Justin and Anthony have done it this year, but any of the guys could have a great game, any given night.”

The Lions (4-0) return four starters from last season, Bonner, Roberts, Morgan and senior guard John Barbee. Senior guard Ben Rajewski fills out this year’s

starting lineup, while junior forward Fred Brou and junior guard Anthony Harvey have been the first ones off of the bench.

Rajewski, who is averaging 5.8 points per game, was the team’s sixth man last year, but now he benefits from defenses focusing on Bonner and Roberts by getting open looks for layups or behind the three-point line.

“We just have to kind of prepare to do anything the team needs,” Rajewski said.

“I think this year my role is to help score the ball, as well as provide that defensive intensity.”

Meanwhile, Harvey is a second point guard on the court when he joins Roberts, and Brou provides

Celtics send Rondo to Dallas for players, picks and cash Boston (ap) — The Boston Celtics traded point guard Rajon Rondo to Dallas on Thursday night, cutting ties with the last remnant of their last NBA championship while giving Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks a chance at another title.

The Celtics will send Rondo and forward Dwight Powell to Dallas for Jameer Nelson, Jae

West Virginia AD Luck joins NCAA The Associated Press

West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck is joining the NCAA as executive vice president of regulatory affairs.

The NCAA is creating a new position for Luck that will bring academic and membership affairs, the eligibility center and enforcement under one umbrella. He will oversee day-to-day operations in all NCAA regulatory functions.

Among his duties, the NCAA said in its announcement, will be “strengthening relationships with NCAA colleges and universities.”

Luck will report to NCAA President Mark Emmert.

The NCAA is moving to a new governance model that allows the five wealthiest conferences - the Big 12, Big Ten, Atlantic Coast Conference, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference — to make rules in certain areas without the approval of the rest of the Division I members.

HIGH SCHOOLS HUB:

Crowder, Brandan Wright, two draft picks and a $12.9 million trade exception.

“Welcome to Rajon Rondo the newest member of the Dallas Mavericks,” team owner Mark Cuban wrote on the social media application Cyber Dust shortly before the official announcement. Cuban also thanked the three departing

players, calling them “Amazing players and better people.”

Boston got a first-round pick in next year’s draft and a second-rounder in 2016. The Celtics have eight first-round picks in the next four years, picking them up in trades for Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce and even coach Doc Rivers as they shed the pieces of the New Big

Three that earned the franchise its unprecedented 17th NBA title in 2008.

“We would not have won Banner 17 without Rajon and will always consider him one of our most valuable Celtics,” the team’s owners said in a joint statement. “We will always cherish the time he was here.”

Royals sign Medlen to two-year contract Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — After twice having Tommy John surgery, Kris Medlen was looking for a team to give him a chance.

The defending AL champions were willing to take the gamble.

Kansas City announced an $8.5 million, two-year contract Thursday with the former Atlanta righthander, who missed all of last season and became a free agent when the Braves failed to offer a contract by the Dec. 2 deadline.

“I think my career is kind of based on not only being given opportunities but also putting myself in position to take advantage of those opportunities,” said Medlen, who is on track to join the Royals midseason. “Injurywise it hasn’t helped, but I feel like this is another opportunity given to me.”

Medlen will make $2 million next year and $5.5 million in 2016 and could earn up to $10 million in performance bonuses based on starts and innings. The deal includes a 2017 option with a $1 million buyout.

Medlen, who hurt his elbow in spring training, also missed most of the 2011 season while he was rehabbing from Tommy John surgery.

“We expect Kris to be more of a second-half guy,” Royals general manager Dayton Moore said.

“Kris is going to want to get out of the gate and go.

We have a two-year commitment with him and the bottom line is yeah, we need him to help us win a World Series, but more importantly, we need to have him have another 10-plus years in the big leagues.”

The 29-year-old Medlen went 15-12 with a 3.11 ERA in 2013, his only full season as a starter. He was at his best late in the season, going 4-0 with a 1.00 ERA in his last five starts.

Medlen was expected to fill a spot in the Braves’ rotation this past season, but he hurt his elbow in spring training and required surgery. He also had Tommy John surgery late in the 2010 season.

“It’s tough enough going through it once,” Medlen said.

Lions

to go through the entire bench, the Lions were still strong on the defensive end, no matter who was on the court.

“We already have enough scorers on the team,” Harvey said. “We already have big rebounders. So you have to take pride in defense, anything to stop the other team from scoring, ultimately to get a win.”

“Defense is the best part of the game,” Rajewski added. “I love playing defense. It’s personal. You don’t want the other guy to score on you. There’s so much pride on the defensive side of the game that often goes unrecognized.”

The Lions are hoping that defense causes fits for Free State. The Firebirds (2-0) returned two players from last year’s varsity rotation, seniors Weston Hack and Justin Narcomey, and they’ve

height in the front court.

Brou has provided highlights with blocks and a dunk, but he isn’t afraid to dive for a loose ball or set strong screens.

“Just coming off the bench, giving a lot of energy to the game,” Brou said of his role.

“Doing the little things that go unnoticed that maybe don’t show up on the stat sheet, but that still help your team get that win.”

During the Lions’ 6360 win over Blue Valley in the Blue Valley Shootout championship last weekend, LHS used 11 players because of foul trouble, bringing Logan Applegate, Tae Shorter, Kyle Hoffman and Jackson Mallory off of the bench.

Despite being forced

Eudora — Veritas Christian’s girls basketball team has struggled with rebounding all season, and it was no different against Christ Prep Academy on Thursday night.

The Eagles were outsized and outrebounded in a 72-52 loss at Eudora Middle School.

“It killed us today.

We know it’s something that’s going to be a challenge all year for us,” Veritas coach Kevin Shelton said. “I really feel like

got done this week would not have been possible had it not been for the timing of his hiring.

“My hat’s off to our administration,” Beaty said. “I think they knew the urgency and they had the (head coaching candidates) that they needed to choose from in place.

And they knew to be able to give that guy the opportunity to close the open period strong, they needed to give him a few days.”

Beaty got that time and he did not waste a second of it.

“We tried to pack about 30 days of work into about four days,” he said without gloating. “That was a very big challenge, but to be able to come away from it having met some of our biggest needs is a great thing.”

Because so much of his early stint as KU’s head

received scoring from a number of different players. But they also haven’t faced a team that could simulate Lawrence’s athleticism or speed.

“It’s going to be a real challenge for us,” FSHS coach Chuck Law said.

“It’s a huge stage and it’s only natural that our guys are going to be nervous early in that game.

You just hope that they get the jitters out in the first two or three minutes.”

The Free State varsity newcomers won’t be the only ones playing in the City Showdown for the first time and trying to adjust to the loud atmosphere.

“I’ve never played in a main-event game before like that, so it’s going to be one of a kind,” Harvey said. “I just can’t wait to get in front of the crowd and show them what LHS has got this year.”

“We missed a lot of easy shots when we got them.

Just a difficult night for us shooting.”

After leading by eight heading into the fourth quarter, Christ Prep (8-3) went on a 19-7 run over the first five minutes of the final period. Veritas tried a full-court press, but the Patriots frequently passed around it and took advantage of the buckets in transition.

“We just seemed a step slow defensively,” Shelton said.

Krestan finished with 13 points, while senior Macie Dressler added five points

football coach has been spent on recruiting, Beaty has had little time for any other aspects of the job.

He has become familiar enough with his new role, though, to know he appreciates it even more than he ever dreamed he would.

“The worst part of it has been better than any day I’ve ever had coaching,” he said. “Not a whole lot of sleep, but it’s because I don’t want to miss a second. There’s things that we’ve gotta get done, but it’s not like you’ve got to get ’em done, you get to get ’em done.

“Every day when I do that front-handspring out of bed, I scream that I’m the head football coach at Kansas and what a great opportunity that is.”

be in the market for a cornerback or two, a linebacker, possibly a quarterback and a couple of more offensive linemen.

KU’s 2015 recruiting class currently ranks 50th nationally, according to Rivals.com, which puts it ahead of Big 12 foes Oklahoma State (51), Baylor (52), Kansas State (61) and Iowa State (70). A large percentage of that rankings system, however, is based on total number of commitments. KU currently has 20 — with room for five more — and those other programs have 15 or fewer.

Recruiting wrap-up Although the eight mid-year guys made their commitments official on Wednesday, there’s still plenty of work to be done before the Feb. 4 national signing day. Beaty said the Jayhawks could still

Staff plans The identity of the rest of the new KU coaching staff, which Beaty said Thursday he was close to finalizing, remains a mystery, but Beaty reiterated that he had identified most of the guys he hoped to hire and was simply waiting for the appropriate timing.

“The people that I’m interested in, they’re really, really good in this

business,” he said. “And a lot of them are still playing. So I’m gonna respect that.”

Only Bowen, Mitchell and Louie Matsakis were kept from the previous staff.

Family time Beaty plans to spend the rest of the week tying up loose ends around the office and then will focus a good chunk of the winter break — which includes a recruiting dead period — reconnecting with his wife, Raynee, and their daughters Averie and Alexa.

“I’ve got two little beautiful girls that I haven’t seen in a while and I’ve been busting my butt and haven’t been able to talk to them,” Beaty said. “So we’re gonna finish up this week and then we’re gonna go take some time for family and to celebrate the holidays and know the reason for the season and pause for that and then get ready to go again.”

But even with all of the problems on the glass, Veritas (3-2) used a 12-3 run midway through the third quarter to cut the score to 47-41 after trailing by six at halftime. In the stretch, sophomore Tori Huslig scored eight of her team-high 20 points and sophomore Alyssa Krestan added four points.

“Alyssa, Tori and Emma (Wilson), you know, we rode as much as we could,” Shelton said of his three players that combined for 39 points.

SCOREBOARD

Jaguars sack Titans, 21-13 Jacksonville, Fla. (ap) — Blake Bortles revived a stagnant offense. Jordan Todman provided some cushion with a big run.

And Sen’Derrick Marks sealed the victory with the most rewarding sack of his career.

The trio provided all the highlights in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 21-13 victory over the Tennes-

many ways. Because of the generosity of some people that helped us with funding, we’re able to do some things for families that may not have the chance to have the Christmas they want or their kids would dream of. It means something to our guys to give back. I think they get more out of it than the recipients do. Our guys really enjoy coming out here.” l Practices have been dandy: Self said the Jayhawks have had a good week of practice during finals week. The Jayhawks have been practicing about 90 minutes a day in preparation for Saturday’s 2 p.m., home game against Lafayette.

“We’ve gotten bet-

see Titans on Thursday night.

In a matchup that was widely billed as unwatchable, Bortles, Todman and Marks offered some compelling moments in a relatively meaningless game.

Bortles completed 13 of 26 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown, a 4-yard pass to Marcedes ter. Key guys have gotten confidence. Guys are seeing the ball go in the hole,” Self said. “It doesn’t guarantee you are going to shoot it well in games, but certainly we’ve been a little more free-flowing, seem to be playing with more of a purpose offensively. I think we’ve gained on it.” l It’s Frank, then, who?: “Our point guard situation is thin but not dire straits or anything,” Self said. “Wayne (Selden Jr.) is very capable. I will try to put Evan (Manning) back there some and try to get him some minutes if at all possible, in spot duty. Frank (Mason III, starting point) is probably as valuable as anybody we have on our team.

“It’s not easy just to say, ‘Somebody go play point.’ Let’s have a tight end play quarterback. It just doesn’t happen. Evan

Lewis that got Jacksonville going late in the second quarter. Todman’s 62-yard run put the Jaguars ahead for good. He juked one defender and stiff-armed another in his first carry of the night.

He leaped into the stands after his first score of the season.

Marks’ play, though, will get all the attention. has a great idea of what we’re trying to do. With young kids, they are trying to survive, not be responsible for all five guys and everything going on out there. I said Jamari (Traylor) ... Jamari is not even close to being a point guard. I never said that, but he could be a guy that we could put at the top of the key and say, ‘OK now we can run offense,’ or he could bring it up against pressure because he’s plenty fast enough to do that,” Self added. l Sensitive mock drafters: Self was asked about having “stirred up” some folks who run NBA mock drafts, who this week have responded to Self saying mock drafts are “ridiculous” (article at web address ljw.bz/1x2jtDA).

body can have a mock draft. Maybe they have a mock draft in football for kids coming out of high school, too. I’ve never seen it if they do,” Self said. “I don’t think they are the best things for our kids or our programs especially before kids have had a chance to prove themselves. What people don’t understand, it’s a big step from high school to college and then it’s a huge step from college to pro. Sometimes trying to make kids go strictly from high school to pro ... I don’t think it’s really fair to those kids or their families because you set them up by creating such an expectation that anything less than that is a failure. It takes kids different times to develop.

We have four good freshmen and I think they all four will play in the league. I’m not going to put a timetable on when that’s going to occur.”

Dear Annie: I have tenants who are behind in their rent. I’ve let it slide because I’ve been preoccupied with some personal problems. But my problems have been resolved, and now I’d like the back rent. Under the terms of the lease, I could evict right away, and I am tempted. But I worry that if this family is evicted, they will be living in the cold.

The biggest issue for me is that these tenants have been smoking, leaving cigarette butts all over the yard.

They have been told that their child has a reduced lung capacity, and no one should be smoking anywhere near the boy. Presumably, they only smoke outside, but that includes the covered porch area by the front door, which means the child is exposed to sec-

ond- and third-hand smoke all the time.

I realize I can simply wait for the rent, I could evict them and probably never get what is owed, I could use the threat of calling CPS as a lever to get payment, or I could do all of the above. What do you think? — Never Should Have Been a Landlord Dear Never: The child is a separate issue. If you believe he is at risk, you should make a report to the au-

Mr. Magoo escapes from the vault “Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol” (7 p.m., CW) may not be the most popular or beloved holiday cartoon. But it is the oldest. It was the first Christmas cartoon produced just for television. Created in 1962, it predates “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” (1964), “A Charlie Brown Christmas” (1965) and “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” (1966). It’s even older than the “Mr. Magoo” cartoon series, which was an offshoot of this special.

Unlike those classics, which never fall out of favor, “Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol” spent years hidden away like some old ornament forgotten in the attic. I vaguely remember it airing on odd times on the Cartoon Network a decade back. Often it never aired at all.

NBC dusted it off in 2012, and this year it airs on the CW. ‘‘Mr. Magoo” was produced by the old UPA studios. Created during World War II to make military training films, UPA was never as big or as commercial as Disney or Warner Bros. UPA’s efforts always seemed more steeped in the minimalist modern art popular during the 1940s and ’50s.

Even this Christmas effort, featuring a musical production within the central story, is a little high concept for a kids’ special.

One of UPA’s most popular creations, “Gerald McBoingBoing,” was based on a story

by Dr. Seuss about a boy who could communicate only by barking sound effects. Too bad he never had a Christmas special!

Ardent fans of “Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol” love the special as much for its songs as for its animation, or for its rather dated character.

Some may have quibbled with the central motif of the “Mr. Magoo” cartoon, dismissing it as a cruel and extended joke on blindness. I’ve always thought of his myopia as more metaphorical. He sees what he wants to and fashions his waking reality according to his own peculiar vision.

Tonight’s other highlights

Tonight: Be adventurous.

let nature takes its course, meaning sex will happen when it happens, but at our age, I know things can be more complicated. I love him, and I know he loves me, but it makes me sad to envision a sexless future. Advice?

— Postmenopausal and Still Frisky Dear Frisky: If Bob has ED issues, nature might never take the course you want. Please ask him to discuss this with his doctor. There are various treatments for ED, and Bob may be willing to try one. But ultimately, you must decide how important an active sex life is to your future happiness, because the situation may not improve.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You would like to be carefree and not have any more demands or requests dropped on you. Tonight: Find your friends.
