    President Barack Obama stated in his State o the Union Ad-

    ress last night that he believes 2014 can be a breakthrough year

    or America.Te President spoke in the House Chamber about recent de-

    elopments in energy resources that have the potential to create

    obs. He also expressed his desire to raise the minimum wage,

    o help students struggle less with debt and to assure that more

    merican citizens are given the access to a good jobsomething

    hat Obama said is the best measure o opportunity.

    Here are significant points rom last nights address that will

    old a level o importance to uture University students.

    1. Increased college graduation ratesObama brought the subject o the College Opportunity Summit

    into his address. aking a step toward assuring that more people

    are granted the opportunity to attendand graduate romcol-

    lege. In his speech, Obama said the White House just organized

    a College Opportunity Summit where already, 150 universities,

    businesses and nonprofits have made concrete commitments to

    reduce inequality in access to higher education and help every

    hardworking kid go to college and succeed when they get tocampus.

    2. Increasing minimum wageBesides stating that he will be issuing an Executive Order in

    coming weeks to raise the minimum wage or ederally-unded

    mployees, he also stated a desire to raise the minimum wage or

    all. oday, the ederal minimum wage is worth about 20 per-

    cent less than it was when Ronald Reagan first stood here. omHarkin and George Miller have a bill to fix that by lifing the

    minimum wage to $10.10. Tis will help amilies, Obama said.It will give businesses customers with more money to spend. It

    doesnt involve any new bureaucratic program. So join the rest

    o the country. Say yes. Give America a raise.

    3. Capping student loan paymentsObama also stated that lawmakers are shaking up our system o

    higher education to give parents more inormation, and colleges

    more incentive to offer better value, so that no middle-class

    kid is priced out o a college education. Te President also said

    were offering millions the opportunity to cap their monthly

    student loan payments to 10 percent o their income, and I want

    to work with Congress to see how we can help even more Amer-

    icans who eel trapped by student loan debt.

    4. Emphasis on climate change and clean energyTe President spoke about the governments energy policy,

    something that he said is creating jobs and leading to a cleaner,

    saer planet. He expressed a sense o urgency, claiming the

    changing climate is already harming western communities

    struggling with drought, and coastal cities dealing with floods.He stated his administration was directed to work with states,

    utilities, and others to set new standards on the amount o

    carbon pollution our power plants are allowed to dump into the

    air.

    5. Thanking veterans and the militaryObama also introduced an American hero, U.S. Army Ranger

    Sgt. First Class Cory Remsburg, who was badly woundedand

    nearly killedby a roadside bomb while deployed in Aghani-

    stan. Sgt. First Class Remsburg has spent recent years recovering

    while going through multiple surgeries and hours o rehab. He

    received a standing ovation rom those in attendance. Obama

    then placed Sgt. First Class Remsburgs personal words and

    story into a perseverant context, saying that men and women

    like Cory remind us that America has never come easy. Ourreedom, our democracy, has never been easy.

    YEAR OF ACTION

    ANOTHER ROUND PAGE 2Retired professor returns to the University

    NATION

    The President touched on college graduation rates and clean energy in his annual addressTOM [email protected]

    Te University o Kansas

    Medical Center must work

    to meet a request rom state

    agencies to train more psychi-atrists to meet a widespread

    shortage, but the request will

    ace many challenges.

    Te problem has per-colated up in the state and

    mental health centers and has

    reached such a point o ervor

    that they need eel its time

    to address it, said William

    Gabrielli, chair o KUMCspsychiatry department.

    All but five counties

    Douglas, Johnson, Sedgwick,

    Shawnee and Wyandotte in

    Kansas are ederally designat-

    ed mental health proessional

    shortage areas. Te Kansas

    Department o Aging and

    Disability Services hired a

    consultant who ound that theagency should budget or at

    least three more psychiatrists

    in order to meet the service

    needs.

    Rural areas in Kansas are

    having an especially hard time

    because there arent enough

    doctors to replace those that

    are retiring. rying to attract

    doctors is hard because doc-

    tors who train outside o the

    rural community ofen stay in

    the city to practice.

    Its hard to transplant

    doctors rom where they train

    because they develop roots in

    the residency stage, Gabrielli

    said.Another contributing actor

    to the shortage is a change in

    the Kansas Medical Student

    Loan program that limitedthe program to primary care

    and emergency medicine.

    Te program used to allow

    students to train at KUMC

    and return home to practice,

    but with the limitations, ewerdoctors are returning to rural

    areas.

    Te consequence o this is

    doctors who went to KU and

    had their residency at KUMC

    cant go home, so they arent

    going into these programs or

    i they are then they are going

    where they can earn more

    money and make connec-tions, Gabrielli said.

    KUMC will attempt to battle

    the shortage despite the cost

    and difficulties. Tey are cur-

    rently exploring a rural train-

    ing tract program that would

    be secondary to the general

    psychiatry program. Gabrielli

    hopes that this will create a

    program thats riendly to

    doctors who want to train in

    rural areas.

    Currently, KUMC has

    around 10 general psychiatry

    residents in each years class,

    with each residency costing

    around $100,000 per year. Te

    expense is one o the chal-lenges standing in the way o

    adding additional psychiatry

    residents each year.

    o add additional trainingpositions will be a substantial

    amount o work, Gabrielli

    said.

    Unortunately, another

    obstacle KUMC aces is

    time. In order to train moredoctors, KUMC must first

    adapt the inrastructure to

    accommodate more aculty,

    mentors, training sites and

    doctors. Ten they have to

    find finding and get approval

    rom the accrediting agencies.

    Finally they must recruit new

    doctors.

    I you really like practic-ing medicine and prescrib-

    ing medicine then you are

    probably more drawn to the

    medical route than the psy-

    chology route, said Michael

    Rosen, counseling psychology

    doctoral student.

    Afer a year o retirement,

    Donn Parson is back.

    Parson had retired last Janu-

    ary afer beginning his careerat the University o Kansas

    in 1964 as a communicationsproessor and debate coach.

    Te return marks the 50th

    year since he began teaching

    at the University.

    I asked my adviser at Min-

    nesota when you knew it was

    the right time to retire. Youll

    know, he said. And I did. A-

    ter 48 years it was the right

    time, Parson said. However Ihave been persuaded to offer a

    graduate seminar this coming

    spring.

    As a nationally recognizedexpert in the rhetorician Ken-

    neth Burke, the Communica-

    tions Department invited him

    back to teach a graduate semi-

    nar on Burke this semester.

    It was an obvious choice toask him to teach a seminar in

    the area in which he was most

    knowledgeable, Communica-

    tions Department Chair om

    Beisecker said. We are very

    happy to have him back and

    share his knowledge with the

    students or this semester.

    During his time as the de-

    bate coach rom 1964 to 1988,he had three teams win the

    National Debate ournament

    and took five other teams to

    the semi-final rounds, bring-

    ing national prestige to KU

    debate.

    He was named one o the

    Best Coaches o the Decade

    in the 70s and received nu-

    merous recognitions, includ-

    ing induction into the Kansas

    Speech Hall o Fame, as well

    as Central States Communi-

    cation Hall o Fame.

    Parsons legacy in debate

    lives on with an anonymousdonation o $500,000 that was

    given in his honor to the de-bate program last November.

    Tis year we are traveling

    25 students to tournaments

    across the country. Tis do-

    nation will allow us to con-

    tinue to support an expand-

    ing debate program and give

    more students the opportuni-

    ty to debate or KU, said de-

    bate coach Scott Harris in anemail. Dr. Parson's primary

    commitment was always to

    students and we want to make

    sure this donation honors thestudent ocused emphasis o

    his legacy.

    Te money will be spent or

    debate scholarships and as

    tournament travel budget or

    University students.Tat donation is both a

    testament to Donns influ-

    ence and an attempt by one

    or more o his students to pay

    orward the wonderul gif

    they got rom Donn, Com-

    munications Proessor Robert

    Rowland said. Dr. Parson has

    been a transormative teach-

    er at KU and he deserves the

    acclaim he is receiving. Its

    been a wonderul thing or

    thousands o students to getto work with Donn.

    Beyond his success in the de-

    bate program, Parson has cre-ated a generation o scholars

    who will continue his legacy

    into the next 50 years.

    Dr. Parson is an iconic fig-

    ure in debate, but his contri-

    butions to the lives o those

    he taught, mentored, and

    advised outside o the debate

    context must not be under-

    stated, ammy Vigil said.Vigil was Parsons student

    when she came to the Univer-

    sity or graduate school. Afer

    getting her PhD in 2000, she

    now teaches undergraduates

    at Boston University what shelearned rom Parson on Ken-

    neth Burke.

    Dr. Parson taught me morethan probably any other indi-

    vidual I have ever encoun-

    tered, not just about commu-

    nication or rhetorical studies,

    but about effective teaching

    and being a better human

    being. He showed me that

    it is possible to care without

    coddling and to expect more

    rom mysel and others. Hehelped me become the teach-

    er I am, she said.

    Rowland, another ormer

    student o Parson, had the

    rare experience o being Par-

    sons student as both an un-

    dergraduate and a graduate,

    colleague as a aculty member

    o the Communications De-

    partment, and his boss asthe chair o the department

    when Parson was aculty. A-

    ter 40 years o having known

    Parson, Rowland can person-

    ally testiy to the impact Par-

    son has on those around him.He has kind o a unique

    mind in his ability to ask

    questions that make you tocome to know you by your-

    sel, Rowland said. Teres

    the old adage that i you give

    a person a fish, theyll eat or

    a day, but i you teach them to

    fish, theyll eat or a lietime.

    Donn gave his students the

    gif o critical thinking.

    Even though his return is

    only or this semester, Parsonspresence is greatly welcomed.

    Im just thrilled because

    currently I am the director o

    graduate studies and to have a

    chance to take his class is just

    wonderul or current gradu-

    ate students, Rowland said.

    He is a wonderul teacher in

    that he leads you to help you

    discover it yoursel.

    Retired professor returns for semesterYU KYUNG [email protected]

    FILE PHOTO/KANSANRetired professor Donn Parson, far left, is pictured at work during the 1983-84 school year. Parson beganteaching at the University in 1964 and retired last year. He returns this semester to teach a graduate seminar.

    [Dr. Parson] showed me that it is possible to care withoutcoddling and to expect more from myself and others. Hehelped me become the teacher I am.

    TAMMY VIGILformer student

    New teaching method flips class structureACADEMICS

    Chemical engineering pro-

    essor Susan Williams walks

    into her class ready to helpstudents learn. Instead o

    starting with the traditional

    lecture, she has students split

    up into small groups and

    work on what is traditionally

    seen as a difficult homework

    problem. She teaches by

    walking around and helping

    students understand con-

    cepts in groups and individ-

    ually.

    Williams is implementing

    the method o learning that is

    now known as flipped learn-

    ing. According to an article

    rom Grand Rapids Commu-nity College in Grand Rapids,

    Mich., a flipped classroom

    has students watch lectures

    outside o class and come to

    class ready to work through

    difficult problems with the

    instructor present to help.

    With flipped learning the

    classroom becomes an area

    where students are working

    with students and engaging

    in peer interaction, Williams

    said. Tis allows students to

    practice the concepts togeth-

    er and figure out what they

    need to do to understandthem.

    At the University, the Cen-

    ter or Online and Distance

    Learning played a major part

    in adopting flipped classes.

    One o the main goals is to

    help teachers through the

    process o adopting flipped

    learning.

    We help with the imple-

    mentation o how technol-

    ogy can help support the

    proessors teaching and help

    provide them with modes o

    delivery that a broader range

    o students can understand,said Julie Loats, director o

    the center.

    Te Center or eaching

    Excellence also helps proes-

    sors redesign their classes.

    Associate director Andrea

    Greenhoot is a psychology

    proessor and also helped in-

    crease the amount o classes

    with flipped learning. She

    has been trying to educate

    proessors on the benefits o

    flipped learning.

    I am on the chancellors

    task orce, and the process

    started when we were tryingto increase graduation and

    retention rates, Greenhoot

    said. Tis was a relative-

    ly new phenomenon at the

    time, but it has become more

    successul over time.

    vidual I have ever encoun-

    tered, not just about commu-

    nication or rhetorical studies,

    but about effective teaching

    and being a better human

    being. He showed me that

    it is possible to care without

    coddling and to expect more

    rom mysel and others. Hehelped me become the teach-

    er I am, she said.

    Rowland, another ormer

    student o Parson, had the

    rare experience o being Par-

    sons student as both an un-

    dergraduate and a graduate,

    colleague as a aculty member

    o the Communications De-

    partment, and his boss asthe chair o the department

    when Parson was aculty. A-

    ter 40 years o having known

    Parson, Rowland can person-

    ally testiy to the impact Par-

    son has on those around him.He has kind o a unique

    mind in his ability to ask

    questions that make you tocome to know you by your-

    sel, Rowland said. Teres

    the old adage that i you give

    a person a fish, theyll eat or

    a day, but i you teach them to

    fish, theyll eat or a lietime.

    Donn gave his students the

    gif o critical thinking.

    Even though his return is

    only or this semester, Parsonspresence is greatly welcomed.

    Im just thrilled because

    currently I am the director o

    graduate studies and to have a

    chance to take his class is just

    wonderul or current gradu-

    ate students, Rowland said.

    He is a wonderul teacher in

    that he leads you to help you

    discover it yoursel.

    Retired professor returns for semesterYU KYUNG [email protected]

    FILE PHOTO/KANSANRetired professor Donn Parson, far left, is pictured at work during the 1983-84 school year. Parson beganteaching at the University in 1964 and retired last year. He returns this semester to teach a graduate seminar.

    [Dr. Parson] showed me that it is possible to care withoutcoddling and to expect more from myself and others. Hehelped me become the teacher I am.

    TAMMY VIGILformer student

    New teaching method flips class structureACADEMICS

    Chemical engineering pro-

    essor Susan Williams walks

    into her class ready to helpstudents learn. Instead o

    starting with the traditional

    lecture, she has students split

    up into small groups and

    work on what is traditionally

    seen as a difficult homework

    problem. She teaches by

    walking around and helping

    students understand con-

    cepts in groups and individ-

    ually.

    Williams is implementing

    the method o learning that is

    now known as flipped learn-

    ing. According to an article

    rom Grand Rapids Commu-nity College in Grand Rapids,

    Mich., a flipped classroom

    has students watch lectures

    outside o class and come to

    class ready to work through

    difficult problems with the

    instructor present to help.

    With flipped learning the

    classroom becomes an area

    where students are working

    with students and engaging

    in peer interaction, Williams

    said. Tis allows students to

    practice the concepts togeth-

    er and figure out what they

    need to do to understandthem.

    At the University, the Cen-

    ter or Online and Distance

    Learning played a major part

    in adopting flipped classes.

    One o the main goals is to

    help teachers through the

    process o adopting flipped

    learning.

    We help with the imple-

    mentation o how technol-

    ogy can help support the

    proessors teaching and help

    provide them with modes o

    delivery that a broader range

    o students can understand,said Julie Loats, director o

    the center.

    Te Center or eaching

    Excellence also helps proes-

    sors redesign their classes.

    Associate director Andrea

    Greenhoot is a psychology

    proessor and also helped in-

    crease the amount o classes

    with flipped learning. She

    has been trying to educate

    proessors on the benefits o

    flipped learning.

    I am on the chancellors

    task orce, and the process

    started when we were tryingto increase graduation and

    retention rates, Greenhoot

    said. Tis was a relative-

    ly new phenomenon at the

    time, but it has become more

    successul over time.

    Te Chinese dontcelebrate this New Year,the motorcycle taxi driverexplained to me over hisshoulder as we made our waytowards the Bund, a historic

    district o Shanghai charac-terized by British colonialarchitecture.

    I realize this, I respondedin Chinese over the noise otraffic, but I am, and I wassupposed to meet up with myriends two minutes ago. Canwe please go a little aster?I was desperately late andmy phone was blowing upwith text messages asking i Iwould arrive soon.

    Te motorcyclist tilted hishead back a little as we turnedoff a bike lane and back intoregular traffic: doesnt seem

    sae. Afer a ew more com-plaints I elt as i we werentquite speaking the samelanguage. I wasnt able to ullyconvey my sense o urgency.Finally, I tried explaining tohim that many gorgeouswomen were waiting or me.Instantly aferward, in an ac-tion that confirmed the manslie priorities, he revved thethrottle and accelerated themotorcycle ar past the speedI was suggesting. Hold on.

    raffic is an aspect o Chinatotally dissimilar rom theUnited States; what is con-sidered wild traffic or theUnited States even on tele-

    vision ofen ails to comparewith the reality o everyday

    lie in China. For example, inthe movie Independence Daya scene depicts the high-

    way with people ranticallyevacuating Washington D.C.Still, the in-bound lane o thehighway is almost completelyempty. Even in this apoca-lyptic alien encounter movie

    very ew people were breakingthe law against driving in thewrong lane. In real-lie Chinathis is not the case. Tus, Iound mysel sitting on thebackseat o a motorcycle aswe drove ull speed downthe wrong way o a one-waystreet. It didnt eel odd at al l.I was only 10 minutes late.

    My riends met up aboutthree blocks away rom theBund. From there, we madeour way toward the water-ront Bund that looks acrossthe Hangpu River to theimpressive glittering lights oShanghais amous skyline. Itwas not easy.

    Between the stone architec-tural remnants o Englandsbanner days we oundourselves wedged in a mass opeople. Everyone was going tothe Bund, but the crowd wasso large that no one individ-ual had control over the rate

    o their progress. Everyonepushed. Sometimes we movedquickly and sometimes wemoved slowly.

    Once we had emerged on

    the Bund itsel the sides ocolonial buildings no longerobstructed our view and wecould see the entirety o theskyline in all its glory. Terewas a light show conducted

    in the final 10 minutes o theyear, and then the countdownbegan in Chinese. I elt a

    jittery tinge o anticipationbeore the fireworks, andShanghai certainly delivered.As soon as the crowd beganshouting xinnian kuaile!a massive fireworks displaybegan that I consider boththe most impressive and leastsophisticated fireworks show Ihave seen in my lie. With thesophistication o a child, theShanghai government sent offas my fireworks as possibleor seven minutes straight. I

    couldnt have asked or anymore.

    As I looked at the explosionsacross the Hangpu River, Ireflected over the previousNew Years Eves I had spentin Kansas. Te ones at homeand those at crowded houseparties in Lawrence. Te Chi-nese certainly provided themost expensive New Yearsevening I had ever witnessed,but I couldnt stop thinkingthis: they orgot the keg.

    OTHE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

    opinion

    Former high schoolsenior Suzy Lee Weisscaused a firestorm last

    March when she lambastedthe nations top universi-ties admissions process orbeing a reductive oppressionOlympics. As the time comesonce again or anxious highschool seniors to discovertheir ate in the admissionsprocess, I expect anotherround o querulous teen angstto plague the internet.

    Weiss claims that Ivy Leagueadmission is based primarilyon actors that cannot becontrolled, such as race, class,etc. Tis bias, in her opinion,makes it unair or rich whitepeople. While she proverbi-ally shakes her fist at someunknown minority who shethinks stole her spot, Im lefto wonder, is this really the

    case? I highly doubt it. Weissdoes have a point. Collegeadmissions at the nationstop schools do emphasizediversity, but her argumentassumes that all people romdiverse backgrounds gain ad-mission. But thats not how itworks. Te act o the matteris that plenty o privilegedpeople gain admission intothese universities, while manyunderprivileged students donot. Herein lies the problem:When a privileged individ-ual doesnt gain admission,its easy or them to say thatthey werent unique enoughrather than examining theirapplication or deficiencies.But when a disadvantagedperson doesnt gain admis-sion? It is assumed by societythat they just werent talentedenough. Tey dont get the

    benefit o the doubt like theprivileged elite. Tis is what Itake issue with.

    You dont have to be ablind dwar Muslim lesbianwoman living in Alaska togain admission to the nationselite universities. But lets sayour socially disadvantagedAlaskan native had ailedto gain admission to an IvyLeague school. Who wouldshe have to blame? She lacksthe ability to claim that shewasnt diverse enough or

    the admissions office. Tisunderscores the problem oWeiss argument. She tries toargue that college admissionsare based on these uncon-trollable characteristics, thusexplaining why she, Weiss,didnt gain admission, but thedisadvantaged cant make thesame argument when theyalso get rejected. Te truth othe matter is that i you didntget in, it wasnt because youwerent diverse enough. It wasprobably because some areaso your application couldhave been better. It is import-ant to realize that some areaso your application were verylikely not perect and couldhave used improvement.Remind yoursel o that, andlater down the road, perhapsor graduate or law school,you have the power to do

    things differently.It is easy to stew in your

    eelings o contempt or di-versity afer a bitter rejectionrom your dream school,but it will rob you o anysense o sense o urgency tobetter yoursel. Once you stopplaying the victim and realizethat you are largely in controlo your uture, you will likelyimprove your perormancein class and out. Not tomention that should you gainadmission in the uture, youwill be able to see the biggerpicture and thank yoursel orthe hard work you put in andthe people who helped youget there.

    Many studentssmoke cigaretteson the Univer-

    sitys campus. But with noenorcement o smokingrules, students are ree to

    smoke as long as they are atleast 20 eet away rom anybuildings entrance. Manysmoke while on the way toclass, or while waiting orthe bus, but this can pose anissue or people who do notwant to be around cigarettesmoke and increases thelittering o cigarette butts oncampus.

    As a cigarette smoker my-sel, the thought o gettingout o class and reely smok-ing a cigarette would be niceoption to have. However,I choose to not smoke on

    campus due to the act thatit is annoying or others tohave smoke blown in theirace, or even be around thesmell. No one wants to smelllike an ashtray when theyregoing to their next destina-tion. Aside rom the annoy-ance, health actors comeinto play when people withmild or severe allergies tocigarette smoke are at a risko exposure with smokers oncampus.

    Another benefit that comeswith designated smoking ar-eas is the reduction o ciga-rette butts on campus. I dontthink Ive walked more thanthree eet without comingacross a litter o cigaretteson the ground. Ive onlyseen a ew smoking postson campus, so in the areaswhere they are not around,most people just throw theircigarettes and walk away.Designated smoking areaswould have the smokersposts needed or groupso people to throw awaytheir cigarettes, instead o

    having them thrown all overcampus.

    Getting rid o smokingcompletely wouldnt be a airsolution or the students andstaff that do smoke, becauseafer a long and hard dayo classes, smoking can bea way or them to relievetheir stress. For those thatare addicted, taking awaysmoking on campus couldcause addicts to experience

    high stress levels, anxiety,and withdrawal symptoms.Designated smoking areason campus provide a middleground or the people thatdo smoke and the peoplethat do not smoke. Its muchless annoying or othersto walk by a designatedsmoking area, than walkbehind, or beside, someonethat is smoking. Smokingshould still be allowed, butonly in certain areas wherethere isnt a large amounto student traffic comingthrough.

    Like anything new, gettingused to designated smokingareas would take some time,but I firmly believe that thelittering o cigarette buttswould greatly decrease andeveryone would be muchhappier with designatedsmoking areas.

    Brett Craword, Cameron Birdsall, Jon Mar-zette and Quinn Brabender may fight like

    brothers and call themselves a band o 13

    year-old girls, but this is what makes their

    band, Sovereign States, the success that it is.

    Tis past year, the band was named the sec-

    ond-best band in Lawrence in the Lawrence.

    com awards. Along with playing their ownshows, Sovereign States is the Monday night

    house band at the Bottleneck in Lawrence,

    where they host aking Back Mondays. On

    these nights the band doesnt perorm their

    own songs, but covers pop-punk songs that

    ans request.

    MR: You havent always been known as Sov-ereign States. Why did you change your namerom My Brother, the Vulture to Sovereign

    States?

    Brett Crawford: We got to the point wherewe didnt like the music that My Brother, the

    Vulture was coming to be. We had grown and

    matured and wanted to write music that was

    going to reflect our band. We started to eel

    like we were in the middle. We werent heavy

    enough or some people and were consideredtoo heavy by others.

    MR: So what is the meaning behind thename, then?

    Quinn Brabender: Changing the name to

    Sovereign States really harks back to us being

    in the middle and eeling like we were lef out.

    Jon Marzette: We didnt fit in with anyonearound here in Lawrence.

    BC:We were like Lichtenstein.

    MR:ell me about aking Back Mondays.

    Cameron Birdsall: Weve been playing ataking Back Mondays or two years. We start-

    ed off playing old school metal and then tried

    to play Metallica requests and other songs

    we didnt know. We quickly learned that the

    audience had a better experience when we

    played songs we already knew. By the end othe night, everybody has had a little too much

    to drink, everyone is singing way off key, but

    were having a blast.

    QB:We would also like to give a shoutout toEmo Nick. He is this guy who comes every

    Monday and literally knows the lyrics to ev-

    ery song. Without him, aking Back Mondays

    wouldnt be what it is. Sometimes even we are

    like, we dont know the words to this song,where is Emo Nick?

    MR: Whats been your best moment as aband?

    BC: Getting second place in the Lawrence.com vote was the best thing we could ask

    or because, really, our songs are about be-

    ing in second place. Its just like reading your

    step-sisters diary. Mom and Dad are mean.

    My boyriend lef me.

    QB:I think we really owe aking Back Mon-days and those who ollowed the endeavor or

    getting that vote. We are a real band but we

    do aking Back Mondays on the side. I we

    do anything right with the Lawrence music

    scene, its that we involve ourselves in more

    than one area. We arent just a one-trick pony.

    MR:What makes you guys love to perorm?

    BC: Chicks. No, Im just kidding. For me,its just playing music, man. Being able to say

    whats on my mind. And to me, its just the

    purest orm o sel-expression. Not in a [bad]way, Im going to wear Nike Jordans to school

    in eighth grade sel-expression. I have a lot o

    things to say, just not over beers with some

    people.

    JM: Tere is a lot o nonsense on stage. We

    try to do cool things on stage, but we just cant

    pull it off. We are not graceul. But we arent

    the band that is just going to sit there. We are

    jumping around, flipping around and trying

    things. Even i people are making un, thats

    fine with us.

    Best Night Ever raunchiness trumps humorMOVIE REVIEW

    ASSOCIATED PRESS

    It's not, as its title implies,

    the "Best Night Ever." It's not

    as unny as "Bridesmaids" or

    as dark as "Bachelorette."But the latest brides-

    maids-behaving-badly come-dy, a raunchy, ound-ootage

    ("Are you really going to film

    EVERYthing?) romp, tops

    even "Te Hangover" or cru-

    dity.

    It's got hal a dozen decent

    laughs and just as many "Oh

    no they DIDN'" gags packedinto 80 or so minutes o de-

    pravity, debauchery and com-

    ically criminal mischie.

    Claire (Desiree Hall o V's

    recent "een Wol " series)

    is getting married in a week.

    Party girl / BFF Zoe (Eddie

    Ritchard o "Don't Be Araid

    o the Dark"), married moth-

    er o two inants Janet (CristaFlanagan) and prissy killjoy

    Leslie, Claire's older sister(Samantha Colburn), pile into

    a minivan or a trek to Vegas

    or that "one last night o ree-

    dom."

    Tey're playing punch buggy

    and other childhood games in

    the car, taking turns shock-

    ing each other with their lan-guage.

    Except or Leslie, who mar-

    ried money and is treating

    them to an opulent penthouse

    suite, a gourmet dinner and a

    Celine Dion show.

    What could go wrong?

    Begin with a credit card

    mix-up and work your way

    into a male-revue strip club"misunderstanding."

    urns as victims o, and thenperpetrators o armed rob-

    bery; a little gelatin wrestling,

    a stolen limo and ... saying

    more would be spoiling it.

    Jason Friedberg and Aaron

    Seltzer graduate rom "Scary

    Movie" / "Date Movie" sequels

    to something ar dirtier andmore outrageous here, as they

    hurl our bachelorettes into the

    ultimate off-the-Vegas Strip

    experience.

    A ew clever situations deliv-

    er laughs _ a black light cell-

    phone option that shows you

    just how "stained" your hotel

    room is, a sisterly effort to

    calm a panic attack by singing4 Non Blondes' "What's Going

    On." Te hunky stripper's out-rage ("You essentially RAPED

    me!") at the "misunderstand-

    ing" is laugh-out-loud silly.

    Give the filmmakers credit

    or not taking things down a

    predictable road when eisty

    Janet resolves to Jello wrestle

    or gas money, and or notspringing or a Celine Dion

    cameo.

    Te uninitiated can learn

    about such stripper experi-

    ences as "the unicorn," what

    at "Eiffel ower" is in the gay

    male vernacular, about the

    comic possibilities o a breast

    pump and the existence o a

    sex-toy tiara ready-made orbachelorette blowouts.

    But the saving grace o thismore-rude-than-unny film is

    its cast.

    Tey're just a quartet o Simi

    Valley "woo-hooo!" girls in

    the opening, but the players

    make each member o this

    motley crew distinct, human

    and out ofer depth.And Janet (Flanagan)? You'll

    want to party with her.

    8/11

    Digital consultancy iStrategy

    Labs recently released a studyrevealing shocking numbers.

    More than 11 million high

    school and college studentshave abandoned Facebook

    over the last three years. Te

    twist is that in the same time

    rame, the amount o Face-

    book users age 55 years and

    older has increased by about

    80 percent.Tere is no telling exactly

    why students are dropping off

    Facebook, but its seems like

    the presence o parents and

    grandparents on the site is

    turning them off. Peter Bob-

    kowski, a journalism proes-

    sor who has done research on

    social media users, recognizes

    students negative eelings to-

    ward parents online.We have heard or years

    that Facebook is not as cool

    because parents and grandpar-

    ents are now on it, Bobkows-

    ki said. It is not as exclusive

    or younger people, whereas,

    Snapchat still is.

    Bobskowski said he thinks

    that the KU students who do

    keep their Facebook do soto stay connected with ami-

    ly members and people they

    went to high school with, not

    so much to maintain relation-

    ships with peers.Students are not only steer-

    ing away rom Facebook be-

    cause o the constant exposure

    to parents, but also to uture

    employers. George Brophy, ajunior rom Leawood, listed

    his parents riending him as

    a major reason why he deleted

    his account, but he was even

    more concerned with how

    Facebook plays a role in apply-

    ing or jobs and internships.

    Brophy was warned early

    on. An alumnus o his rater-

    nity on campus owns a ma-

    jor company that specifically

    hires people to dissect and sif

    through potential employees

    Facebook accounts to deter-

    mine whether or not theyre a

    suitable candidate.Ive been told about these

    companies that do intense so-

    cial background checks, Bro-phy said. Its sole responsibili-

    ty is to look through al l o your

    social media accounts, even i

    theyre private.

    I its not parents or uture

    employers getting students off

    Facebook, it may be that thesite is just too busy and too

    cluttered with social inorma-

    tion that people are not inter-

    ested in. Hyujin Seo, a journal-

    ism proessor teaching Social

    Media in Strategic Communi-

    cations this semester, has seen

    this trend among her students.

    Some Facebook users are

    finding that inormation

    shared on the site includes toomuch drama, gossip or nega-

    tivity, Seo said. For example,

    some students in my classes

    have said that they didnt want

    to know all the details about

    their Facebook riends lives

    and elt that Facebooking was

    becoming waste o time.

    Robert Basow, a journalism

    proessor teaching StratcomII, said he believes students

    are simply steering away rom

    Facebook because there are

    other ways o communicating.

    He mentions that next monthis Facebooks tenth birthday

    and believes its probably just

    getting a little old.

    All in all, there are many rea-

    sons why students are deletingtheir Facebook accounts. Its

    the natural flow o technology

    and students have ound they

    preer alternatives like witter,

    Snapchat and Instagram. It

    may be time to say goodbye to

    Facebook and hello to the u-

    ture o new social media.

    ALBANY, N.Y. Unable tocarry his beloved banjo, Pete

    Seeger used a different but

    equally ormidable instru-

    ment, his mere presence, to

    instruct yet another genera-

    tion o young people how to

    effect change through song

    and determination two years

    ago.

    A surging crowd, two

    canes and seven decades asa history-sifing singer and

    rabble-rouser buoyed him as

    he led an Occupy Wall Street

    protest through Manhattan

    in 2011.

    "Be wary o great leaders," he

    told Te Associated Press two

    days afer the march. "Hope

    that there are many, many

    small leaders."

    Te banjo-picking trouba-dour who sang or migrant

    workers, college students

    and star-struck presidents

    in a career that introduced

    generations o Americans to

    their olk music heritage died

    Monday at age 94. Seeger's

    grandson, Kitama Cahill-Jack-

    son, said his grandather diedpeaceully in his sleep around

    9:30 p.m. at New York-Pres-

    byterian Hospital, where he

    had been or six days. Family

    members were with him.

    "He was chopping wood

    10 days ago," Cahill -Jacksonrecalled.

    With his lanky rame, use-

    worn banjo and ull whitebeard, Seeger was an iconic

    figure in olk music who out-

    lived his peers. He perormed

    with the great minstrel Woody

    Guthrie in his younger days

    and wrote or co-wrote "I I

    Had a Hammer," ''urn, urn,

    urn," ''Where Have All the

    Flowers Gone" and "Kisses

    Sweeter Tan Wine." He lent

    his voice against Hitler andnuclear power. A cheerul

    warrior, he typically delivered

    his broadsides with an affable

    air and his fingers poised over

    the strings o his banjo.In 2011, he walked nearly

    2 miles with hundreds o

    protesters swirling around

    him holding signs and guitars,later admitting the attention

    embarrassed him. But with

    a simple gesture extend-

    ing his riendship Seeger

    gave the protesters and even

    their opponents a moment o

    brotherhood the short-lived

    Occupy movement sorely

    needed.

    When a policeman ap-proached, ao Rodriguez-See-

    ger said at the time he eared

    his grandather would be

    hassled."He reached out and shook

    my hand and said, 'Tank you,

    thank you, this is beautiul,'"

    Rodriguez-Seeger said. "Tatreally did it or me. Te cops

    recognized what we were

    about. Tey wanted to help

    our march. Tey actuallywanted to protect our march

    because they saw something

    beautiul. It's very hard to be

    anti-something beautiul."Tat was a message Seeger

    spread his entire lie.

    With Te Weavers, a quartet

    organized in 1948, Seegerhelped set the stage or a na-

    tional olk revival. Te group

    Seeger, Lee Hays, Ronnie

    Gilbert and Fred Hellerman churned out hit recordings

    o "Goodnight Irene," ''zena,

    zena" and "On op o Old

    Smokey."

    Seeger also was credited with

    popularizing "We Shall Over-

    come," which he printed in his

    publication "People's Song"

    in 1948. He later said his only

    contribution to the anthemo the civil rights movement

    was changing the second word

    rom "will" to "shall," which

    he said "opens up the mouthbetter."

    "Every kid who ever sat

    around a campfire singing an

    old song is indebted in someway to Pete Seeger," Arlo

    Guthrie once said.

    His musical career was

    always braided tightly with his

    political activism, in which he

    advocated or causes ranging

    rom civil rights to the clean-

    up o his beloved Hudson

    River. Seeger said he lef the

    Communist Party around1950 and later renounced it.

    ASSOCIATED PRESSPete Seeger performs on stage during the Farm Aid concert on Sept. 21, 2013, at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The American troubadour, folk singer and acti

    Seeger died Monday, at age 94.

    DAYDAY, MONTH ##, 2014 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSANPAGE ##

    Naadir Tharpe, Guard

    Since playing against Iowa State on Jan. 13, where

    Tharpe had a season-high 23 points, Tharpe has only

    missed two field goals. Tharpe went 7-8 against Okla-

    homa State, 2-3 against Baylor and didnt take a shot

    against TCU. Tharpe played 20 minutes against TCU

    and recorded four assists. Tharpe will try to continue

    his success against Iowa State.

    Wayne Selden, Guard

    Selden started Big 12 conference play with consecutive20-point performances. Since Kansas State on Jan. 11,

    where he scored 20 points, Selden has averaged 8.7

    points per game. His physicality has shown in recent

    conference games because he has gotten to the free

    throw line often. Selden has not missed a free throw

    (12-12) since Kansas State.

    Andrew Wiggins, Guard

    Wiggins is averaging a team-high 15.8 points per

    game and hes coming off career-high 27 points per-

    formance against TCU. After a rough start in non-con-

    ference games, Wiggins shows reasons to believe

    in his hype. His game starts with his driving ability,

    which leads to his high volume of free throws. Hes

    taken 22 free throw attempts in the past two games.

    Wiggins scoring stems from his inside game.

    Perry Ellis, Forward

    Ellis is the most inconsistent starter for the Jayhawks.

    Ellis, who is supposed to lead by example and show

    physical play under the basket, hasnt played up to his

    potential. He flashes greatness, but has trouble finding

    high quality shots down-low. Iowa State held Ellis to

    eight points and six rebounds during the first meeting.

    Joel Embiid, Center

    Embiid has been a beast since the start of conference

    play. When it looks as if he cant get better, he pulls anew post move or throws down a monster, eye-popping

    dunk. Embiids the face of the Jayhawks defense, and

    has been labeled as an enforcer in the paint. He has

    recorded at least one block in each conference game

    and hes averaging 3.33 blocks per Big 12 game.

    STARTERS

    ?

    Last season, Kansas hosted

    Iowa State in a thriller. The

    Jayhawks needed a last-sec-

    ond 3-pointer from Ben

    McLemore to send the game

    into overtime, where Kansas

    beat the Cyclones 97-89. This

    season, the Jayhawks went into

    Ames and played an aggres-

    sive game that was led by

    Naadir Tharpe. Iowa State will

    be mad and looking to end itslong losing streak against the

    Jayhawks.

    Andrew WigginsWiggins uses his athleticism

    to out-match opponents, and

    his athleticism allows him to

    rebound the ball proficiently.

    Especially, Wiggins rebounds

    well against smaller team,

    such as Iowa State. On Jan.

    13, Wiggins had a career-high

    19 rebounds and watch for

    Wiggins to have a rebounding

    performance comparable to thegame in Ames this season.

    Will Embiid be able to guard

    Georges Niang?

    Last meeting between these

    two teams, Iowa States center

    Georges Niang shot a sea-

    son-low 0-9 from three point

    range and Embiid guarded

    him most of the night. Against

    Baylor, Embiid struggled toeliminate Baylors center Isaiah

    ?

    No. 16 Iowa State is the only

    team in the conference with

    three players averaging at

    least 15 points a game as

    Ejim, Kane and Niang combine

    to average 49 of the Cyclones

    conference-leading 85 points

    per contest. After winning its

    first 14 games of the season,

    Iowa State lost three in a row

    against the first, second and

    third-place teams in the Big12. The Cyclones got back on

    track against Kansas State at

    home winning 81-75.

    Georges NiangHe had his worst game of the

    season against Kansas on

    Jan. 13 as he shot 20 percent

    from the field, well below his

    47 percent average that ranks

    sixth-best in the conference.

    With Embiid or Black guarding

    him most of the night, he

    will have plenty of open looks

    away from the basket. He will

    need to convert those for theCyclones to have a chance at

    an upset.

    Can the Cyclones find success

    away from Hilton Coliseum?

    Iowa State is 2-2 in true road

    games this season with both

    losses coming to Big 12 teams.

    The Cyclones will need quality

    road wins in the Big 12 to keep

    their conference title hopes

    alive.

    STARTERS

    Melvin Ejim, Forward

    The Big 12s leading scorer has reached double digits

    in every game hes played in this season. He had one

    of his worst performances against Kansas in Ames

    and shot 33 percent, tying a season low. The versa-

    tile senior forward can shoot from long-range or score

    around the basket. He creates matchup problems with

    his combination of speed and strength.

    Georges Niang, Forward

    The undersized forward relies heavily on his jump shot,especially from 3-point range. Against Kansas, he

    went 4-20 and missed all nine of his 3-point attempts

    while also struggling to score around the basket. Hes

    excelled in his last two games averaging 18 points and

    hitting eight total 3-pointers. He averages 15.4 points

    and 3.67 assists per game, which both rank in the top

    ten in the conference.

    Dustin Hogue, Foward

    A terrific rebounder for his size of 6-6, the junior ranks

    second in the conference in rebounding averaging 9.3

    a game. His scoring has tapered off in conference play

    as he has averaged just nine points a gamethree

    below his season average. He scored 13 points against

    Kansas in Ames but only made three field goals.

    DeAndre Kane, Forward

    Hampered by a sore ankle against Kansas a couple

    weeks ago, Kane should be at full strength today. One

    of the best all-around players in the country, Kane took

    the nation by storm after recording 30 points, nine

    assists, eight rebounds and five steals against Bay-

    lor on ESPNs Big Monday. Considered a candidate for

    the National Player of the Year, Kane does most of his

    scoring attacking the basket and earning free points

    at the line.

    Naz Long, Guard

    The only starter for the Cyclones who doesnt average

    in double figures in scoring, Long does most of his

    damage from outside. Out of his 30 shot attempts in

    conference play, 26 have been 3-pointers. He leads the

    Cyclones with a 42 3-point percentage but only shoots

    60 percent from the free-throw line. The sophomore

    averages 21 minutes a game.

    WASHINGON In

    a chamber at stand-ing-room-only capacity, with

    photographs o young victims

    flashing rom V screens,

    a House o Representatives

    panel held a hearing Monday

    to raise awareness about hu-

    man trafficking. O immediate

    concern among the legislators

    is this Sunday's Super Bowl,

    an event that is thought to

    heighten the demand or

    orced prostitution.

    "We know that rom the past,

    any sports venue especially

    the Super Bowl acts as a

    sex-trafficking magnet," saidRep. Christopher H. Smith,

    R-N.J., chairman o the House

    subcommittee on Arica,

    global health, global human

    rights and international orga-

    nizations.

    Te Super Bowl, America's

    most-watched sporting event

    and one that cities across the

    nation compete to host, has

    increasingly aced scrutiny

    as a draw or human tra-

    ficking and orced sex labor.Although no definitive figures

    exist, advocates argue that

    the large influx o men and

    the party atmosphere that

    surrounds the event make it a

    hot spot or individuals who

    exploit women and children.

    "Major sporting events

    like the Super Bowl create a

    unique surge in demand or

    sex services," Carol Smolenski

    told the panel, stating that

    100,000 children across thecountry are victims o orced

    sexual labor. Smolenski, exec-

    utive director o ECPA-USA,

    an anti-trafficking organiza-

    tion, said the Super Bowl is an

    easy target or both the supply

    and demand o orced sex la-

    bor because o the accessibili-

    ty o hotels and transportation

    networks.

    Statistics presented at the

    hearing depict human tra-

    ficking as a major industryin America's underground

    economy. An estimated $9.5

    billion is generated annually,

    said Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo.

    Te average orced-sex laborer

    is between the ages o 13 and

    14, said Rep. Mark Meadows,

    R-N.C.

    New York state, host o this

    year's Super Bowl, is one o

    America's worst offenders.

    Te Empire State has the

    ourth-highest number oincidents o human trafficking

    in the nation, according to the

    National Human rafficking

    Resource Center, trailing only

    Caliornia, exas and Florida.

    I absolutely think its worth consid-

    eration, at least when I get to spring

    training to try it out no matter how

    inconvenient it might look

    ?TRIVIA OF THE DAY

    THE MORNING BREW

    Q:How many pitchers were hit in

    the head by line drives in the past

    6 seasons?

    A:12

    ESPN.com

    !FACT OF THE DAY

    The average speed of a line drive

    when it reaches the pitchers mound

    is 83 mph

    CBSnews.com

    MLB pitchers finally approved for head protection

    QUOTE OF THE DAY

    Imagine standing on a mound o

    dirt, throwing baseballs at more

    than 90 miles per hour or a living.

    Its a routine inning, until a 6-oot-4,

    250 pound giant, handling a bat thats as

    long as your leg, walks up to the plate.Hes standing 60.5 eet directly ahead

    o you. He bashes each pitch at a speedas ast, i not aster, than the speed at

    which you threw. Most o his hits cause

    the baseball to fly up and into the out-

    field, some speed past you and bunny

    hop off the grass sometimes it comes

    screaming right back toward your ace.

    You calculate about one-third o a

    second to finish your throwing motionand get out o the way o one o these

    screamers. I thats not long enough,

    your protection rom a line drive hur-

    tling toward your ace is simply your

    hat and the glove on your hand.

    Welcome to the reality o a major

    league pitcher.

    Pitchers have one o the most ear-some jobs in proessional sports. But

    until today, they werent afforded

    league-approved head protection.Licensing company, 4Licensing Cor-

    poration, won league approval o a

    protection cap or use in the 2014 sea-

    son, the first such approval or pitchers

    protection in league history, according

    to ESPN. Te hat uses hal-inch to one

    inch thick padding to protect the ront

    and side o pitchers heads rom line-

    drives. Te approval comes afer years

    o increasingly brutal occurrences o

    pitchers getting nailed by line-drives,climaxing near the end o the 2012 sea-

    son when pitcher Brandon McCarthy

    suffered lie-threatening injuries rom

    a line-drive to his head. Te hat will

    be optional or pitchers while researchcontinues.

    One in every 300,000 pitches results in

    a line-drive toward a pitchers head, or

    about two to three occurrences per sea-

    son, according to a recent Forbes article.

    Te phenomenon isnt new,

    but the advent o modern

    weight-training and team

    nutritionists, along with

    seemingly endless cases o

    perormance-enhancingdrug usage, increases the

    potential or serious, evenlie-threatening, injuries

    rom line-drives toward

    pitchers.

    MLB Commissioner

    Bud Seligs lackadaisical

    attitude toward the issue

    is rustrating to look back

    on. He said in 2000 thatnothing could be done

    to protect pitchers rom line-drives,

    according to FoxSports.com writer Ken

    Rosenthal. As i putting oam-polymer

    inside o hats, similar to ootball hel-

    mets, was something beyond the realm

    o possibility. I McCarthy succumbed

    to his brain injuries in 2012, Seligwouldve been roasted by the media or

    MLBs lack o preventative measures

    and oresight.It should not have taken five incidents

    in a five-month span between 2012

    and 2013

    to provide

    p i t c h e r s

    with a basic

    protection or

    their heads.Nor should it

    have taken thenear death o a

    pitcher to stimu-

    late efforts to find

    acceptable protec-

    tion. Te eet-drag-

    ging only served to

    reinorce the percep-

    tion that baseball strug-gles to modernize itsel.

    Its a bad perception or a sport

    thats desperately trying to recapture its

    title as Americas pastime.

    odays approval signals a step in the

    right direction, but its disappointing

    the change took this long to implement.

    Its hard not to eel that Selig and com-pany whiffed on this one.
