    THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

    Phone dead? No problem.

    Charging stations wereinstalled on the Lawrence and

    Edwards campus during winter

    break. he installation was an

    initiative o Student Senate andKU Inormation echnology.

    he project was one o 12 di-erent items on KUniteds plat-

    orm this past year. BrandonWoodard, student body vice

    president, said that this project

    was made a priority because the

    idea came rom the students.You dont leave your phone

    at home; everyone has a phone,

    Woodard said.

    Rachel Brasher, a senior romOzawkie, said she thinks the sta-

    tions will be helpul or stu-

    dents.

    I know Im never respon-sible about charging my phone,

    Brasher said.

    Robbie Bondi, a sophomore

    rom Leawood, said he wontneed to use the charging stations

    because he charges his phone at

    night.Once KU I agreed to und the

    So this is lie in the Border ColdWar.

    Te cloud o black and yellow

    lied rom Lawrence only to reveal

    gray skies. No enemy to ght, just

    angry mobs with nothing to torch.And looking to the west, citizens

    o Manhattan have never attempted

    a sneak attack on Lawrence.Maybe that would spice up the

    Kansas-Kansas State rivalry, but it

    might be a tad dramatic. Instead

    the University o Kansas is le withthe Little Apple and a daunting

    task: Commit to a rivalry that has

    been one-sided since its inception.

    Not that one institution hasdominated the other, but one

    school only ocused on its ellow

    in-state competitor while the other

    looked in the opposite direction ora challenge.

    Kansas has been Kansas States

    rival since Ive been in the league,

    Kansas baseball coach Ritch Pricesaid. Our rival has been Missouri.

    Tats now being reocused.Price echoes a rededication that

    has been the ocus o Kansas ath-letics department since Missouris

    departure rom the Big 12, and its

    one that began at the top.

    It started with Sheahon Zenger,Price said o Kansas Athletics Di-

    rector. He has made it clear to

    everyone who coaches, regardless

    o the sport, that hes going to start

    evaluating programs based on their

    success against Kansas State.

    When asked about this policy,Zenger said programs are evaluat-

    ed on conerence competition, not

    just deeating one school.

    Either way, theres a school 80miles down the road thats begin-

    ning to receive a lot more atten-tion rom Kansas ans. And while

    it has been more cordial in the past,Wildcat ans have become a new

    target or a an base without its

    natural rival.

    I never elt that way againstK-State, Kansas mens basketball

    coach Bill Sel said o the Jayhawks

    animosity or Missouri. I think

    this will turn a little bit to becomemore heated as we move orward.

    For some Kansas programs, there

    wont be much o a transition.

    Te womens volleyball teams atKansas and K-State, or instance,

    boast many players rom within the

    state. Tat adds to a match that Jay-hawks coach Ray Bechard said has

    always been important to the team.

    Bechard said the amiliarity o

    in-state players intensies the driveto capture Kansas bragging rights.

    But those other programs, the

    ones that recruit more out-o-state

    players, theyll be at the center o arivalry that has become more im-

    portant with the absence o Mis-

    souri.

    You might have people that goto a contest not because o the game

    but because its K-State, Kansas

    womens basketball coach Bonnie

    Henrickson said. Maybe theyre

    not a particular an o any givensport, but theyre a an o booing

    K-State.

    Maybe, but maybe not. Zenger

    said the Missouri and K-State ri-valries have diferent geneses. Over

    time they have evolved in diferent

    ways.

    Price will be combating that bycoaching his players to bring the

    level o competitiveness the Jay-

    hawks show against Missouri to all

    games against K-State. Price knowsyou cant replace Missouri, yet he

    can change the way Jayhawk ans

    look at K-State.When youve coached at KU, re-

    gardless o the sport, or 100 years

    the rivalry has been rst and ore-

    most about Missouri, Price said.Now that theyve le the Big 12

    conerence, I think youll see the

    rivalry between KU and K-State

    intensiy.It might take a while to get used

    to, but purple is the new black.

    Charging stations keepstudents plugged in

    Celebrating its 50th anniversary,

    a message o equality and tolerancerang through Strong Hall and theKansas Union yesterday to com-memorate Martin Luther King Jr.Day.

    he Universitys celebration oMLK stressed that his passionatemessage is more than a historicalholiday, but is instead symbolic totodays belies towards civil rights.

    Distinguished English ProessorMaryemma Graham opened theUniversitys event by reading romthe Letter rom Birmingham Jail.

    o live in a society that is rela-tively ree o poverty, o social injus-tice, o racial discrimination, wevegot a lot o work to do, Grahamsaid. We remember people whogave their lives to that kind owork.

    Graham believes that MartinLuther King Jr. Day and similarevents are about both looking at thepast and using that history to gaugeactions in the uture. She hopes thathonoring Rev. Martin Luther KingJr. will spark a discussion aboutwhat his belies symbolize in the21st century.

    Are we the post-race genera-tion? Graham said. Are we thepost-eminist generation? Are wethe post-you-name-it? Is all thatover and done with? We cant justassume that everybody is on thesame page.

    In years past, the University host-ed a large celebration that would illthe Lied Center. Fred Rodriguez,vice provost or diversity and equity,hoped that yesterdays celebration

    would set a precedent or honoringthose social issues.

    We want to start this traditionagain on campus, Rodriguez said.

    Ater Grahams reading, orga-nizers distributed candles, andthe crowd walked to a receptionand program at the Kansas Union.Rodriguez expects attendees to askthemselves who carries on as theadvocate or equality o opportu-nity as the voice o Kings messagetoday.

    Blane Harding, director o mul-ticultural aairs, who gave the key-note address, ocused on the indi-vidual and what every person mustdo to live up to Kings dream.

    Every single individual in soci-ety has to be aware o the respon-sibilities o moving us orward sothat we are equal, so that we are asociety devoid o racism or preju-dice, Harding said. We do thatindividually, we do that through

    relationships we dont do that byenacting laws.

    Harding believes Kings messageo tolerance and ighting oppres-sion transcends race and applies toreligion, gender, sexual orientationand all other orms o prejudice.Yesterdays program was intendedto spark a discussion and encourageattendees to take personal responsi-bility to create a tolerant society.

    No ones going to make you goto an event in black history month,or example, Harding said. Buti you truly believe in the idea oequality, you need to expand thatcomort zone so that you can meetolks that you generally would notmeet.

    After being on hiatus for more

    than a month, the investigation

    into Beta Theta Pis alleged ani-

    mal cruelty is set to resume with

    the start of the semester. Police

    inquiry into the matter has tem-

    porarily been on hold because

    some of the students involved

    have been out of Lawrence due

    to winter break.

    In December, The Kansas

    City Star, Lawrence Journal-

    World, and The Huffington

    Post reported that a turkey was

    abused and killed at the fra-

    ternitys annual Turkey Pull

    party on the Friday after finals

    week.

    Those people that were

    really involved in the major-

    ity of it, I dont think weve

    had any contact with yet, said

    Trent McKinley, public affairs

    sergeant for the Lawrence Police

    Department. We still would

    like to talk to anyone thats will-

    ing to visit with us about what

    they saw and maybe who they

    think is responsible.

    McKinley said alcohol

    was involved in the incident.

    However, McKinley was uncer-

    tain of what kind of animal

    cruelty charges, if any, would

    be filed. The charges can range

    from a misdemeanor to felony

    offenses. Although no arrests

    have been made, McKinley said

    a report would most likely be

    filed to the district attorneys

    office within 30 days.

    Just because class starts on

    Tuesday doesnt mean everyone

    is going to have time to visit with

    us first thing Tuesday morning,

    McKinley said. This isnt a mat-

    ter of rounding pe ople up.

    University spokesperson Jill

    Jess said the university expects

    anyone with information about

    this incident to cooperate fully.

    Behavior such as that report-

    ed is reprehensible and is not

    what KU would expect from its

    students, Jess said.

    Board of Regents updates

    college admission standardsProspective students will

    have to step up academically if

    they want to be admitted to the

    University of Kansas.

    For the high school classes of

    2013 and 2014, these prospective

    students will have to meet the

    current admission requirements.

    Starting in the fall of 2015,

    incoming freshmen must meet

    requirements that the Kansas

    Board of Regents has set in place

    for public colleges across the

    state.

    For Kansans, incoming fresh-

    men must complete the KansasQualified Admissions (QA) cur-

    riculum, have a 2.0 GPA and at

    least a 21 ACT score, or rank in

    the top third of their graduating

    class. Out of state students must

    have a 2.5 GPA and a 24 on their

    ACT or rank in the top third of

    their graduating class.

    The University wants to take

    these requirements a step higher

    as a part of the Bold Aspirations

    initiative. For Kansas high

    school students graduating in

    2016 who hope to attend the

    University, they must complete

    the QA curriculum with a 2.0

    GPA, and have a 3.0 overall GPA

    and a 24 ACT score or a 3.25

    overall GPA and a 21 ACT score.

    Non-residents must complete

    the QA curriculum with a 2.5

    GPA, and have a 3.0 overall GPA

    and a 24 ACT score or a 3.25

    overall GPA and a 21 ACT score.

    Lisa Pinamonti, director of

    admissions at the University, said

    the whole goal of Bold Aspirations

    is to assert the University as the

    established research university it

    is.

    We are the flagship unive rsity,

    and the academic requirement at

    KU doesnt measure the admis-

    sions, Pinamonti said.

    The first-year retention rateof freshmen in 2010 was nearly

    80 percent, meaning that of the

    3,491 students who were fresh-

    men in the fall, only 2,790 came

    back for their sophomore years

    a loss of 701 students.

    Weve been working with

    high school counselors, and the

    feedback we are getting from

    counselors and students is that

    they say its important we are

    doing this, Pinamonti

    said. But some students are wary

    about taking four years of high

    school math.

    The acceptance rate in 2010

    for KU was 93 percent, and

    Pinamonti hopes it will remain

    high.We want to get students

    excited about not everyone get-

    ting in, Pinamonti said. Were

    getting the message out to high

    school students to better prepare

    for college and know the impor-

    tance of being prepared.

    project, it worked with KUnitedto ensure that 15 charging sta-

    tions would be installed by thebeginning of the spring 2013

    semester. Currently, there are

    14 on the Lawrence campus and

    one on the Edwards campus,and five more stations will be

    installed at either location dur-

    ing the semester, depending on

    students suggestions.Each charging unit costs

    about $300, and the project

    costs a total of $6,000. Anne

    Madden Johnson, managerfor Client Consulting at KU

    IT, said IT employees look

    for more ways to provide new

    services directly to students,and the charging stations are

    an inexpensive way to get stu-

    dents something they wanted.Everyone lives and dies

    with their device anymore,

    Johnson said.

    Each charging station is

    mounted on the wall andincludes eight different charg-

    ing cords, including two

    iPhone compatible cords, one

    iPhone 5 cord, two Blackberrycords and three Samsung and

    Android compatible cords.

    Students, faculty and staff

    may use the charging stationsat any time for free. There is

    a tray at the bottom of the

    charging station that will hold

    the device while it is being

    charged. The tray is not sturdy

    enough to hold a laptop, but it

    can support an iPad or any other

    tablet.KU IT is working with stu-

    dent leaders and taking sugges-

    tions for improvements for the

    remaining five stations. Ideasmay be posted on its Facebook

    Te timbre o the ute cadenza

    at the end o Symphonic Sketches

    rom Leonard Bernsteins West Side

    Story gave pre-pharmacy majorConnor Bowman a sense o warmth

    whenever he heard it played by the

    KU Symphonic Orchestra (KUSO)

    in Lawrence or Kansas City, Mo.

    Te cadenza signaled the

    death o ony, the Romeo-esque

    protagonist in the Shakespeare-

    inspired musical, aer he was shot

    realizing his love, Maria, was still

    alive. Bowman, a sophomore rom

    Lenexa, listened to this not rom the

    audience, but rom the stage as the

    principal utist in the orchestra.

    Im the only one playing, and

    that eeling is really cool, said

    Bowman, who is also working

    toward a music minor. Teres

    a moment when it resonated

    throughout the hall. I just stopped

    to take it in: embodying death inront o the audience.

    Its not very common to have

    a non-music major play a solo

    or serve as the leader o an

    instrumental section in an audition

    ensemble at the University. In act,

    less than 10 percent o the KU

    audition ensembles are non-music

    majors.

    Te audition process is the

    same process during the rst week

    o class, said David Neely, the

    director o orchestral activities.

    Music majors are required to be in

    one o the ensembles, but you dont

    need to be a music major to be a

    part o it. Its a matter o passing the

    audition.

    Neely said KUSO has a heavy

    practice workload and that themusic and class is geared toward

    music majors. However, auditions

    are blind and seating is decided

    by the quality o the auditions.

    By achieving the principal seat,

    Bowman said the judges thought

    he played the best ute audition.

    It could mean that we dont eel

    the same pressure as music majors,

    Bowman said. Were doing it or

    enjoyment, and we do it because its

    something that we love to do.

    BAnd for non-mAjors

    Sharon oulouse, assistant

    director o bands, said some

    music students also play in

    multiple ensembles with primary

    and secondary instruments.

    Band has two ensembles that are

    audition-only: Wind Ensemble

    and Symphonic Band. Tose

    two also have blind auditions.

    We dont care i you are a

    music major or not, oulouse

    said. Even i that doesnt work,

    theres the opportunity to be in

    University Band.

    Tis is a no-audition, sign-up

    ensemble that perorms once

    every semester. Music majors

    only ll ve to 10 percent o the

    University Band seats. Te Kansas

    Marching Band is also a non-

    audition group.

    Its not about what your major

    is, its about do you love playing,

    oulouse said.

    Holly Good, a sophomore inchemistry rom Shawnee still eels

    nostalgic or her time playing ute

    and piccolo in high school, but now

    plays in University Band.

    I miss playing in a group, Good

    said. Tis is just an hour once a

    week, not a big time commitment.

    She took University Band or no

    credit because to her, it was un and

    relaxing.

    Sometimes Im stressed out

    when I come in, but it takes your

    mind o things, Good said.

    Parker Riley, a reshman in

    computer science, plays saxophone

    in University Band.

    Ive played or eight years, and I

    wanted to keep playing, Riley said.I knew it just wouldnt overload

    my schedule. I havent had to

    practice too much or this music. I

    just enjoy it.

    non-mAjor orchestrA onhorizon

    Nothing is ofcial yet, but

    Neely said there could be more

    opportunities or non-music

    majors who want to join orchestra

    in the uture.

    One o the things were looking

    at are options or some kinds o

    ensembles or non-major students,

    Neely said.

    Right now, KUSO is the onlydepartmental orchestra ensemble.

    It would probably be good,

    Bowman said. I dont know i it

    would get people to go to more

    lessons and things like that. But I

    think its a good idea.

    he trees were originally slatedor planting early last semester, but

    he previous three weeks

    let ten murdered and

    three wounded, but nogunshots were ired on Oct. 23,

    2002. It was just my ninth birth-

    day. I lived in Centreville, Va.,where a 20-mile ride down theBeltway led to the nations capi-

    tal. And there, in the suburbs o

    reedom, I learned ear. But no

    one died on my ninth birthday there was only a message released

    by the Chie o Police on behal

    o the Beltway sniper.

    It elt like I had aged ar

    beyond the candles on my cakelet on. I couldnt play reeze tag

    outside with my riends or roller-

    blade down the block. Field trips

    were cancelled, my soccer seasonwas cancelled, Halloween was

    cancelled. My whole world was

    being held at gunpoint, and we

    were giving in to every demand.

    here were new procedures, new

    restrictions, new ways o lie. We

    had to be prepared because wewerent sae anywhere.

    he news anchors called him

    the Beltway sniper, but we didntknow i it was one man or 20.

    One day, someone was shot ata Shell gas station in Maryland.

    Another day, it was a woman

    in the parking lot o my local

    Home Depot. Anyone could havebought that gun. Anyone could

    have been the kil ler. Anyone

    could have been the woman lyingdead on a gravel parking lot.

    Anyone could have been the hus-

    band weeping over bloodstained

    grocery bags and his best riendslieless corpse. But the sniper had

    a right to own his gun; no one

    could deny that.

    Within a ew weeks, I went

    rom believing in Santa to barely

    believing in God. I learned that

    my dad wasnt really a superhero

    he waited in his car until theD.C. transit bus arrived every

    day instead o standing at the

    stop like a sitting duck. I stopped

    thinking I had a sae learningenvironment ater a 13-year-old

    boy was shot and killed enter-

    ing his middle school. I grew up

    too ast. And at the same time, Iknow there will always be a part

    o me that wont ever grow up;

    a part that will wish my parents

    could always be there to check

    or the monsters under my bed,

    and to protect me rom the onesin the movie theatres and the

    elementary schools and the shop-

    ping malls and the beltways.But as a country, we learned

    to be saer so that we couldaccommodate their rights.

    We put metal detectors in our

    schools and made Code Red

    drills and lockdowns as rou-tine as saying the Pledge o

    Allegiance. And I learned to deal

    with it, too. I stopped sleeping, so

    I could always be alert. I stoppedtrusting people. I tried my hard-

    est to block out a ew years o

    my childhood. And now I see

    a therapist to work through myproblems. Insomnia. Anxiety.

    Depression.

    Its been over ten years since

    my town came under attack,

    but the story repeats itsel every

    day. And every day, there are

    new victims, and not just theones in the caskets. here are

    kids in Newtown who saw their

    playmates die and still have togo back to school, and parentswho have to let them. here are

    teenagers in Overland Park who

    will be araid to go outside when

    concealed carry laws pass. hereare amendments or gun owner-

    ship, but none or mental health,

    happiness and comort. And so

    Ill make each day a little saer, asa slave to my ear and a slave to

    my reedom.

    I youre relatively up to

    date on things that dont

    matter, you know about the

    photos o Justin Bieber alleg-edly smoking marijuana and

    the nonsensical blathering that

    quickly ollowed in the media.When the ethical journalism

    pioneers at MZ broke the

    story a ew weeks ago, a gaggle

    o internet trolls started the hor-rendous #cutorbieber trend

    on witter, posing as dedicated

    beliebers vowing to employ

    sel-harm in protest o the popstars supposed ainity or

    smoking weed. his turned an

    otherwise unsurprising photo

    leak a child star doing drugs,whodathunk it? into a world-

    wide debacle that had world

    leaders and CEOs lying sleepless

    in bed each night or weeks.Now, to be air, there really

    hasnt been any solid conir-

    mation that Bieber was actu-

    ally getting high or, in otherwords, coughing uncontrollably

    because its his irst time on

    the evening the photos were

    taken. But the slow-burningobject stowed between his in-

    gers looks like a blunt, which

    just so happens to be rolled

    appropriately thin enough or a

    pop star sporting a pompadourhaircut.

    hats suicient evidence

    or most people who eel as itheyre obligated to oer up

    nuggets o sage-like advice,

    such as Stop hanging out with

    those guys in the lat-billedhats, and Go to rehab. Most

    o them oer it with the best o

    intentions: hey want Biebs

    to continue being a good rolemodel, which one apparently

    can accomplish by writing songs

    or seventh graders to awkward-

    ly grind dance to in dimly-lit

    basements. hey want Bieber to

    stay ocused on his hits the

    ones involving pop charts, not

    a bong.hats good advice, really.

    However, i Bieber liked listen-

    ing to good advice, he probablywouldnt have sparked up a J

    while some random groupie

    with a phone started snapping

    pictures right in ront o hisace. Nonetheless, he still prob-

    ably needs some advice on how

    to move on, but dont bank on

    him opting or the good advice.So, in case he needs it, heres

    some bad advice: Why not use

    this situation as a stepping stone

    into the lazy, yet lucrative genreo modern stoner music?

    It shouldnt be a hard transi-

    tion, which is ideal i youre

    going to be getting baked allday, anyway. hey dont make

    the stoner-avorites like theyused to; you used to have to be

    musically talented and innova-tive like Grateul Dead, Sublime,

    Cypress Hill and other stoner-

    music pioneers. Nowadays, all

    you really have to do is latchonto the coattails o the suc-

    cessul artists who came beore

    you and essentially do whatever

    they did, but with dierent lyr-ics. You want to try your hand

    at todays stoner rap, Biebs? As

    long as you mention that youre

    stoney baloney once every two

    sentences, you can get away

    with rapping about the debt

    ceiling and high schoolers will

    still hotbox their 96 Camrys toit every day. Your stellar record

    sales wont miss a beat.

    he persona o a stoner music

    sensation is a lot less complexthese days, too. ake a bunch

    o black-and-white photos with

    a stare that says Im rich, bro,

    while a robust, mushroom-shaped plume o smoke bil-

    lows slowly rom your lips like

    youre Notorious B.I.G. hen,start perorming at Bonnarooeach year and make sure you

    get charged with marijuana

    possession at least once a year

    apparently, i youre not onprobation these days, youre not

    a legit stoner rapper.

    he only real way that can

    go wrong is i you violate yourprobation and have to do a

    ew months in prison. Youre a

    celebrity, though, and they cant

    really throw you in with the resto the ruians, so it should be

    a cakewalk. When a reporter

    comes to interview you, just

    say youre working on a newrecord and itll automatically

    become the most anticipated

    record o the year. Worked or

    Lil Wayne; his irst post-prisonalbum in 2010 was garbage, yet

    he still cashed in.

    Your new ans wont orgetabout you, either. #FreeBieber

    will probably trend on witter

    every day until your release, and

    believe me, thats a ar betterhashtag than #cutorbieber.

    Heroes are crashing beoreus. In less than a week, we

    ound the celebration sur-

    rounding Notre Dame linebacker

    a hoax and the acclaim surround-ing 7-time our de France winner

    Lance Armstrong a raud.

    eo should be ne intelli-

    gence is not a prerequisite or play-ing linebacker in the NFL. In act,

    with the controversy surroundinghead trauma in ootball, maybe less

    brainpower is better.Armstrong aces a steep climb,

    steeper than the French Alps he

    ascended while racing. I admired

    Armstrong when he raced. And Iadmire him or his public cones-

    sion.

    I cannot imagine a more bor-

    ing sport to watch on televisionthan cycling, but during his string

    o victories I tuned-in to watch the

    our de France, i only or a ew

    minutes.In 2001, I watched some o the

    race and witnessed a moment in

    sports I will never orget. Arm-

    strong led the race with Jan Ullrichclosely behind. As they climbed the

    mountainous terrain, Ullrich took

    a nasty spill of the side. Insteado increasing his lead, Armstrongdismounted his bike and waited or

    Ullrich to recover and rejoin the

    race. Te spectacle gave me chills;

    I had never seen sportsmanship soprecisely displayed.

    I dont question Armstrong the

    athlete. Doping is not a secret in

    cycling. Its not part o the culture;it is the culture. I wonder about

    Armstrong the human. Arm-

    strongs transgression was not dop-

    ing. Armstrongs greatest crime isthe lies he told to cover his darkest

    secret. Now he must make amends

    or the lives he destroyed in the

    wake o his deception.Now that Armstrong conessed,

    however, we can no longer viliy

    him. Tats how it works. Whenone seeks orgiveness, the properprotocol is to orgive. Granted,

    Armstrong must heed important

    stipulations: when one seeks or-

    giveness, one must commit himsel

    to righting his wrong. An apology,or conession, is not simply saying,

    Im sorry. Its about changing ones

    behavior and lessening the damage

    done.I am condent Armstrong will

    do this. Te magnitude o his con-

    ession leaves no other option.

    Viliying Armstrong is symp-tomatic o something more. Many

    eel let down, even betrayed, when

    athletes, celebrities, or politicians

    transgress a storyline we ourselvesweave (oten with the help o the

    media). Some people protest that

    these groups should not be seen as

    heroes in the irst place. Instead,some argue, we should look to

    history, religion and education

    to ind true heroes, like Martin

    Luther King Jr., Neil deGrasse

    yson and Jesus.I say we choose none o the

    above as heroes. Instead, we lookto ourselves and be our own he-

    roes.

    Finding inspiration in others is

    part o lie. Revering and placingthem on pedestal is not. Humans

    are perectly imperect. And no

    one will ever have the power to save

    you. Only you can do that. In thegreat dream o lie, we must write

    our own story and play the lead

    character.

    Dont look to others to pave yourway. Pave your own way. Others

    will join you on your path. I some-

    one wants to divert you, they werenot meant or your journey.

    One of the best things about

    fashion is the ability to experiment

    with clothing. Several people may

    purchase the same item, and yet

    they may all wear it completely

    differently. Those differences are

    what style is all about.

    Despite varieties in personal

    style, there is certainly one article

    of clothing that I believe all

    women should own. Its flattering

    for any body type, can be worn

    in an infinite amount of ways,

    can be purchased at an array of

    prices and is appropriate for an

    endless amount of events. What

    is this mystery piece, you ask?

    A pair of good jeans, maybe,

    or perhaps a nice pair of black

    pumps? While those are very

    good guesses and should

    also be closet staples my

    first and foremost must-have

    item is a classic black blazer.

    A blazer? How boring, you

    say. But you are so wrong.

    A black blazer is the most

    versatile article of clothing

    so far in existence even

    better than a pair of perfect

    fitting jeans. Where jeans

    are inappropriately casual, a

    blazer is not. And you may

    be incorrectly convinced that

    a blazer is too fancy for

    places where jeans would

    come in handy, but with

    the right technique, it canbe worn anywhere.

    My favorite way

    to blaze, if you will, is

    oversized with a mini

    skirt or short shorts

    hiding beneath. The

    jacket is always a tad

    longer than whats

    under it, and a blouse is

    buttoned all the way to

    the top to balance out

    showing off the leg. A

    small clutch and heel and its

    weekend perfection.

    Blazers are so crucial

    right now, that even the

    latest Glamour magazine

    gave them a shout out. The

    scoop: Each body type has

    a special blazer shapedfor them. For flat-chested

    girls, aim for a blazer with

    a structured shoulder.

    Feminine detailed jackets

    work best for those with

    broad shoulders, and longer

    blazers look best on petite

    gals who lack in the height

    department. There are so

    many shapes, patterns and

    colors to choose from.

    This closet

    must-have goes for men, too. The

    hoodie-blazer combo is totally

    unisex friendly, though I wouldnt

    say the same for the high-waisted

    skirt and blouse sequence.

    If one genre reigns supreme in

    2013, it will be the science fictionfilm. Sci-fi flicks are in high supply

    this year, from original, promi-nently effects-powered stories to

    several thought-provoking block-busters that have strong chances

    for awards season. Here are a few

    you wont want to miss:

    ObliviOn April 19Co-writer/director Joseph

    Kosinski constructed one of the

    most visually satisfying and flat-

    out cool sci-fi action fil ms in recent

    memory with TRON: Legacy.In his sophomore effort, he takes

    on an original concept involving

    a human-evacuated Earth. TomCruise stars as one of the planets

    last drone repairmen who discov-

    ers an underground group of sur-

    vivors as well as a much greaterthreat. I cant promise an overly

    unique story, but it will certainly

    be a grand feast for the eyes.

    StAr trek intO DArkneSS

    MAy 17Theres a reason FX plays the

    Star Trek reboot all the time: Itsso perfectly entertaining that it

    never gets old. The only aspect l ack-

    ing a bit is the villain. This seems

    resolved in the sequel, as British

    badass Benedict Cumberbatchplays a dastardly opponent whos

    destroying Starfleet from with-

    in, leading Captain Kirk and theEnterprise crew on an epic fight

    for retribution. With J.J. Abrams at

    the helm again, this should be even

    more dazzling than the first one.The final frontier never looked so

    promising.

    pAciic riM July 12Creature master Guillermo delToro returns to the directors chair

    with a project of enormous scopeand the simplest categorization:

    giant monster movie. Better yet, its

    exactly the kind your inner-child

    has been dying to see ever sinceyou stopped watching Godzilla

    films: humongous robots vs. gar-

    gantuan monsters. Seriously, whats

    not to like? Even if that sounds silly,del Toro is an excellent filmmaker

    whos guaranteed to turn this guilty

    pleasure premise into a righteously

    awesome spectacle.

    elySiuM Aug. 9South African wnderkind

    Neill Blomkamp surprised every-

    one with his mind-blowing debut,District 9, creating one of the

    most unique, meaningful and vis-ceral sci-fi movies ever made. Well,

    imagine that on steroids with a

    dystopian future instead of aliens

    and youve got his follow-up,Elysium. Matt Damon stars as a

    man outfitted in crazy high-tech

    weaponry on a mission to equalize

    the playing field between the poor,living on a desolate Earth, and

    the rich, living on a perfect-world

    space station. Expect one intenselykick-ass ride.

    grAvity Oct. 4Early test screening reports indi-

    cate that this simple yet powerfulstory of two astronauts (Sandra

    Bullock and George Clooney), lostin the abyss of space after their

    shuttle is destroyed, trying to find

    a way home before oxygen runs

    out, is nothing short of revolution-

    ary filmmaking. Alfonso Cuarn

    (Children of Men) brings hissignature long takes the open-

    ing shot alone lasts 17 minutes

    to the phenomenon of drift-ing weightlessly in magnificent 3D.If youve ever wanted to feel like

    short fl hine on mondayat sundance il etivalmccLAtchY-tRIbUNE

    Think of the Sundance Film

    Festivals shorts program as a

    glimpse into the future of movies.Trevor Groth, director of

    programming for the festival,knows the crystal-ball aspects

    of Sundances shorts firsthand.He remembers the years both

    Andersons work surfaced in the

    pile of submissions. It still gives

    him chills. Watching, you canfeel the future that is going to

    unfold in front of them, Groth

    says. From the beginning their

    voices were that distinctive.Though you never know how

    fate, or fickle audiences, will favor

    them, the shorts filmmakers at

    Sundance this year are an eclecticinternational bunch whose work

    carries that sweet sense of dis-

    covery. The programming teams

    mantra show us something wevenever seen before has resulted

    in a creative canvas of 65 shorts

    infused with an irrepressiblesense of invention that is infec-

    tious to watch.

    Groth, who began his Sundance

    career 20 years ago by helpingprogram shorts, will never forget

    the moment when a studio exec

    passed along an underground

    video whose irreverent darkhumor and inherent weirdness

    just spoke to him. Called The

    Spirit of Christmas, it was by a

    couple of unknowns Matt Stoneand Trey Parker before South

    Park. Groth tracked down Stone

    and Parker, nabbed their film for

    the festival, and says it still standsfor him as a classic example of

    how you can find the purest of

    cinema in shorts there is no need

    to compromise.Its easy to shortchange shorts

    as merely stepping stones to the

    real deal feature-length films. But

    just as a short story is not a novelwith fewer pages, a short film is its

    own beast. A great one requires a

    rigorous discipline in storytell-

    ing, masterful editing and a clearunderstanding of what exactly

    you are trying to say. An inspired

    idea doesnt hurt either.

    This is why Groth loves to seeestablished filmmakers like Todd

    Haynes and Neil LaBute come

    back to the form again and again.

    LaBute, for example, is creditedwith writing three shorts in 2012,

    directing one, and contributing

    a segment to last years Stars in

    Shorts, which is exactly what the

    title suggests all that while work-ing on three feature films in vari-

    ous stages of production.Whether 2013 will uncover

    any filmmakers, it certainly has

    its share of wonderfully weird

    shorts.Among my early favorites is the

    existential animation piece Oh

    Willy ... from Belgiums Marc

    James Roels and Emma De Swaef.It unfolds during Willys return to

    his most elemental self, specifical-

    ly the nudist camp where he was

    raised. The stuffed-cloth char-acters, constructed out of what

    looks to be flesh-colored felt, tell a

    modern-day story about mortal-

    ity and the measure of a life. Its aquirky yet emotional piece about

    a savage more pudgy than noble,

    his bumbling indecision remark-

    ably captured in meticulous stop-motion.

    Two other animation pieces

    that caught my eye Seraph and

    Thank You could not be moredifferent in style or tone. Both

    take provocative cuts at the ways

    in which love leaves its mark:

    a graphically rendered gay teenwho carves eyes into everything,

    including flesh, and a snowman

    whose heart literally melts for a

    fire-tinged puppy.Sundances short shorts and

    long shorts range from a few min-

    utes to nearly 50; the average is

    closer to 15. With so little time toplay with, a filmmaker cant afford

    to squander a second, much less

    a minute.

    Los Angeles-based mixed-media artist Rachael Mayeri,

    whose work more frequently

    turns up in museums around

    the world, the film is a wildly

    provocative meta meditation onmedia, monkeys and humans

    dressed as monkeys. Essentially

    a soap opera about the social

    dynamics of chimpanzees, it was

    made for chimp consumption andplayed to the primate inhabitants

    of Scotlands Edinburgh Zoo onTVs scattered around their space.

    It is strangely funny, yet absorb-

    ing to watch them watch and likeso many of the shorts, leaves you

    pondering the implications long

    after.

    That audiences are increasinglyopen to embracing six minutes

    of weird, as Sundances current

    shorts programmer Jon Korn puts

    it, is one of the more gratify-ing shifts he and co-programmer

    Mike Plante have seen take place.

    There are fewer shorts as calling

    cards from feature director hope-fuls and more making the most

    of a few minutes in the entries

    the two personally screened dur-

    ing the selection process this year

    roughly 3,000 between them, arecord 8,127 submissions in all

    screened by the team of eight.

    Sundances democratic processhelps, literally anyone, can submit

    a short for festival consideration.

    And then there are the doc-

    umentaries, typically the lon-gest of the shorts, often close to

    the 50-minute cutoff. Among

    the standouts is Outlawed in

    Pakistan, tracing one girls fightagainst the rape that brought her,

    not her attackers, a death sentence

    by tribal elders.

    The shorts are, quite simply,seductive; even the ones that dont

    hit all the right notes are intrigu-

    ing. As Korn says, Its great to

    see something on its way to be ingsomething special.

    Te Kansas cheerleading squadplaced sixth on Sunday during the

    Universal Cheerleaders Association

    Championship in Orlando, Fla.

    Te Jayhawks improved thisyear aer nishing 10th in last

    years competition. Te cheerlead-

    ing squads two-and-a-hal minute

    routine included two music por-tions and a cheer.

    We were very excited, said se-

    nior Jordan Snyder. Tis is a big

    improvement rom last year. Wewere proud o our perormance

    and we were happy with how we

    were placed.

    Te cheerleading squad was .7points short o earning a spot in the

    top ve, which was the expectation

    rom head coach Corey Stone andassistant coach Nami Stone.

    Our long-term goal or the pro-

    gram is to really be in the top three

    consistently and in the top tier o

    teams, Corey said. We didnt quiteget that, but we were close. Tere

    were a lot o people who aer the

    competition told us that they re-

    ally liked our routine and were sur-prised we didnt place even a little

    higher. Tat made us eel good that

    we are getting close to where we

    want to be in the top tier o teams.Despite being the head coach,

    Corey credited his wie, Nami, or

    the teams success as it prepared orthe UCA competition.

    Shes the one who really does

    coaching the national squad the

    most, Corey said. Shes at allthe practices, and she talks to the

    squads the most aerward.

    Te Rock Chalk Dancers also

    made some noise in Orlando dur-ing the Universal Dance Associa-

    tion this past weekend. Te dance

    team nished ninth in the hip-

    hop category among all Division Ischools.

    Aer a two-year hiatus, the

    dance team returned to the UDA

    competition under rst-year coachRaquel Tomas. Tomas was hop-

    ing her team could also place in

    the top ve, but was excited to helpKansas make its return and com-

    pete in nals.

    Te University was one o 56

    schools that competed in last week-ends national competition.

    ravis Releord racked his brain,

    trying to recall the best sign hesseen at Bramlage Coliseum in his

    our years at Kansas.

    He had to give up.

    Teres so many, Releord said.I cant even name one.

    Now in his h and nal year o

    eligibility, Releord has the privi-

    lege o being subjected to one morenight o clever signs when the No. 3

    Jayhawks ace No. 11 Kansas State

    in Manhattan at 7 p.m.

    He said the K-State game is just

    another game on his teams sched-ule, as they try to win a ninth con-

    secutive Big 12 title. But he did

    concede that the ans and

    media inate the gamesimportance.

    Releord and the Jay-

    hawks three other se-

    nior starters should becomortable handling

    the pressure o playing a

    game that ans on both

    sides o the rivalry nowview as Te Game.

    But it will be a new experience

    or one o Kansas most impor-

    tant players redshirt reshman

    Ben McLemore. Releord said

    the upperclassmen take it upon

    themselves to get McLemore and

    the other Kansas rookiesprepared or the environ-

    ment.

    First, we tell the resh-

    men how crazy its goingto be and to just not let the

    ans get to you, Releord

    said. Its going to be the

    next best environmentto ours. Be expecting all

    types o crazy chants; their

    crowd really getting into it.

    In past years, Kansas ans tendedto view K-State as the annoying

    little brother while ocusing the

    majority o their attention to the

    other side o the border and the

    Missouri igers. With the igersdeparture to the SEC, Kansas coach

    Bill Sel said K-State takes over the

    role Missouri le.

    But the two rivalries have a vastlydiferent eel to him.

    K-States always been the rival,

    but I think it was more o a respect

    rivalry than what Missouris was,

    because I think on both sides o the

    Missouri rivalry, there was a lot o

    hatred that was involved, Sel said.I think this will turn a little bit to

    become more heated as we move

    orward because we dont have the

    igers around, and they dont havethe igers around.

    Te act that the Wildcats enter

    tonights matchup ranked No. 11 in

    the country adds uel to the rivalrysgrowing re. Its the third time in

    the past our years both programs

    entered the game ranked. For Sel,

    thats a good thing.I dont mind our league being

    good, and I certainly dont mind K-

    State being good, Sel said. I would

    much rather play a K-State teamthats ranked high than not play a

    K-State team that isnt ranked.

    Public not ready to forgive lying athletes

    In the span of one week, two adored

    athletes saw both of their reputationscrumble.

    The truth shattered both Lance

    Armstrongs and Notre Dame linebacker

    Manti Teos legacies, leaving them andtheir public relations teams to pick up

    the pieces. Hopefully, this can be a learn-

    ing opportunity for other athletes: cover-

    ing up a lie is always worse than tellingthe truth.

    In the age of social media and smart-

    phones, word travels fast. We are able

    to find out about Lindsay Lohans arrestbefore she sobers up enough to find out

    herself. However, this advanced informa-

    tion sharing technology means that, if

    you lie, you are lying to the entire world.It only takes one person to uncover the

    truth before your entire lie is blown and

    the whole world knows.

    The truth is still pending in the

    Manti Teo hoax story, in which hisdeceased girlfriend, who apparently

    inspired him to miss tackles in the BCS

    Championship, never actually existed.

    Whether or not Teo perpetuated thehoax is still to be determined, but it

    seems that at some point, Teo discovered

    that his girlfriend was about as real as

    the square root of a negative numberand, in his embarrassment, told a lie.

    Understandable, right?

    But when you or I get caught lying, we

    have to apologize to a few people. Teohas to explain himself to everybody. Do

    you think that Teo wishes that he publi-

    cized the hoax as soon as he found out

    rather than prolonged it with a lie? Idbet on the affirmative.

    Meanwhile, Lance Armstrong juiced

    up his legs to the point where his calves

    looked like a Thanksgiving turkey. Thefact that Teo is getting most of the atten-

    tion shows how strange his story is, but

    Armstrongs lie is far more damning.

    For years, Armstrong not only vehe-mently denied allegations of doping, but

    also threatened lawsuits to anyone who

    made those claims. He manipulated the

    public by telling the press that the goodguys trying to uncover the truth were

    actually the bad guys. At some point,

    Armstrong should have realized that he

    was never going to escape his past.If he had acted with more prudence

    at an earlier time, he would have still

    lost his records, but perhaps his charitys

    reputation could have survived and his

    brave fight against cancer would havebeen his legacy.

    The public is willing to forgive many

    things, but it is hesitant to forgive dis-

    honesty. Let this be the lesson from thisbizarre week in sports.

    Kansas quarterback Dayne Cristwas a standout on the National

    team, coached by Dick Vermeil,

    in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl in

    Carson, Cali., on Saturday.Crist scored the irst touchdown

    o the game early in the second

    quarter ater taking the ball to

    the end zone himsel on a one-yard run. Soon ater his rushing

    touchdown, Crist connected with

    Rice tight end

    Luke Wilson

    on a seven-yard

    pass to give theNational team a

    14-0 lead in the

    second quarter.

    He was namedthe NFLPA

    Collegiate Bowl MVP.

    Crist concluded his night with

    seven o 10 passes or 61 yards, onepassing touchdown and one rush-

    ing touchdown. Crist impressed

    scouts earlier this month in the

    Casino Del Sol All-Star game when

    he completed six o 12 passes or 62yards and one touchdown.

    Kansas oensive linemen Duane

    Zlatnik and revor Marrongelli par-

    ticipated in the NFLPA CollegiateBowl game, as well. Kansas deen-

    sive ends oben Opurum and Josh

    Williams also received playing time

    in Saturdays college all-star game.Williams came away with some

    pressure or the American team,

    and also sacked Crist in the game.

    Outside o the NFLPA Collegiate

    Bowl game, oensive tackle

    anner Hawkinson and saetyBradley McDougald played in the

    Shrine Bowl Saturday aternoon.

    Hawkinson saw plenty o action

    and helped block or Kansas Statequarterback Collin Klein in the

    second quarter while McDougald

    saw some action on special teams

    and a little bit on deense.

    Te spring semester is just be-

    ginning, but the Jayhawk tennis

    team got back to work early as itcaptured three ight victories this

    weekend at the Clemson Winter

    Indoor Classic hosted by the Uni-

    versity o Clemson.For Kansas, this weekend

    shined a light on some o the

    teams strong points. Even though

    the team didnt win a doublesight in this non-IA sanctioned

    event, it beat a ranked LSU team

    in two o three doubles matches.

    It was also a bit o a bright spot orsingles play, as the team bagged

    singles ights ve, six and eight.Tis tournament was the

    rst action the Jayhawks haveseen since the San Diego State

    Fall Classic in November, and it

    showed, as Kansas was 5-8 in sin-

    gles play and 3-7 in doubles play,winning three o the possible 12

    ights. Te seeding or the ve-

    team eld was done by a hidden

    dual ormat, meaning the resultswould not count toward team

    records, but would count or the

    individuals.

    Te level o competition in theeld had the potential to make

    any team look rusty, as three o

    the ve teams came into the tour-

    nament in the IA team ranking

    top 60: No. 22 Clemson, No. 45LSU and No. 55 ulane. Charles-

    ton Southern and Kansas were

    unranked when play started.

    wo players in the eld wereranked in the IA top 125 in sin-

    gles play, but the most important

    player or Kansas last weekend

    was junior Dylan Windom. Win-dom won her rst match against

    Caroline Magnusson o ulane.

    Ten she coupled with reshman

    Maria Jose Cardona to deeatKaitlin Burns and Keri Franken-

    berger o LSU in a terribly close

    match, 8-6. Windom and Car-dona then exhausted Magnusson

    and Caroline Tornton o ulane,

    8-7 and 7-5.

    While Windom was clutchthis weekend, Cardona has been

    steadily improving in doubles

    play throughout the season. In

    November, she won in doubleswith senior Monica Pezzotti. Al-

    though she didnt win any o her

    singles matches last weekend, she

    did win two in doubles play withWindom, proving her ability to

    play well no matter the partner.

    of last weekends strong start asdual-play starts inside the Jay-

    shane southwell, guardCoach Bruce Weber gives 11 players at

    least 10 minutes o playing time per game, soSouthwell has received only eight starts and

    averages 21.5 minutes per game. His shoot-

    ing sample is only about hal as large as most

    o the Wildcats other starters, but he shoots52 percent rom the eld, including a 49 per-

    cent mark rom three-point range.

    angel rodriguez, guardRodriguez is second in the Big 12 with a2.16 assist-to-turnover ratio, behind only

    his teammate Will Spradling. He was one o

    our Wildcats that scored in double gures

    Saturday against Oklahoma, but his nineassists were even more important. He also

    recorded eight assists in the Wildcats rst

    conerence game, a narrow 73-67 victory

    against then-No. 22 Oklahoma State.

    rodney mcgruder, guardTe only Wildcat to average in double

    gures scoring, McGruder is third in the

    Big 12 with 15.5 points per game. He has tocarry the oensive load i Kansas State is to

    knock o the Jayhawks. He scored only ourpoints in the Wildcats loss to Gonzaga in

    mid-December. He scored 16 points in theWildcats other loss against Michigan, but

    he didnt heat up until the second hal.

    will spradling, guardA product o Shawnee Mission South

    High School, Spradling has been regardedas one o Kansas State most reliable three-

    point threats during his past two years in

    Manhattan. However, his consistency has al-

    ways been his problem. Hes made less than35 percent o his three-point attempts this

    year, which is actually a slight improve-

    ment rom his sophomore campaign. He

    is the conerences best protector o theball, as he sports a healthy 3.0 assist-to-

    turnover ratio.

    thomas gipson, forwardTe tallest Wildcat starter at 6 eet 7 inch-

    es, Gipson leads Kansas State with 5.9 re-

    bounds per game. His 48 oensive rebounds

    are 16 more than Je Withey has on the

    season, and 11 more than Kevin Youngstallied. Although hes undersized at 6 eet

    7 inches, he weighs a bruising 270 pounds.

    He could struggle against Witheys length

    and Youngs motor. Gipson has turned theball over 29 times and has recorded only

    our assists.

    jeff withey, centerWithey was Kansas most consistent player

    Saturday at exas, nishing with 14 points, nine

    rebounds, our assists and three blocks, two o

    which led to Kansas transition buckets. His 4.59

    blocks per game is second in the country behindSt. Johns Chris Obekpa. His deense down low is

    especially crucial while Kansas xes its oensive

    struggles.

    kevin young, forwardOne o the best glue guys in recent Kansas mem-

    ory, Young hasnt proved to be a serious scoring

    threat game in and game out, but the Jayhawks

    dont need him to be. His biggest contributionduring conerence play has been his rebounding,

    especially on the oensive end. Hes grabbed at

    least two oensive rebounds in each o the Jay-

    hawks last ve games. Grasping extra possessionswill be key against a Wildcat team that boasts the

    conerences second-best rebounding margin.

    elijah johnson, guardTe senior turned in a miserable shooting per-

    ormance against exas, nishing one o 11 romthe oor. Coach Bill Sel said its only a matter

    o time until his shots start alling, but Kansas

    would benet rom that time coming soonerrather than later. Te Jayhawks have more scor-ing options this year than they did last year, but

    reshman Ben McLemore could use another

    threat on the perim
