THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
WEEKEND
In a week, fnal exams will be
over. Freshmen, sophomores
and juniors will all celebrate
until classes resume in January,
but this isnt an option for one
group of students. Leading up
to graduation, many seniors are
facing difcult decisions as their
undergraduate careers come to a
close.
Essentially, those who are
leaving the comfort of general
electives and a somewhat stress-
free life as an undergrad are
faced with three options: Find
gainful employment, continue
with postgraduate education or
struggle to fnd real work.
Ann Hartley, associate director of
career networks at the University
Career Center, said no matter
what path graduates end up on,
they need to begin preparation for
life afer graduation before they
leave the University.
Teres a lot of things that take
place before even starting the job
search or graduate school, she
said. Whether thats updating
your resume or doing interview
practice, thats something you
need to start before you even
begin getting into your search.
Former and present students
spoke with the Kansan to help
provide insight into what can be
expected when heading down one
of these paths afer graduation.
FINDING A JOB
Kris Velasco, who graduated last
May, stepped foot in New York
City for the frst time in his life
this summer on his way to his frst
adult job.
Afer graduating with degrees in
Political Science and Sociology,
Velasco got a job as a Development
Coordinator with Te Supply, a
start-up company that works to
improve the lives of urban youths.
Velasco said hes enjoyed his
time with the new organization
so far, but that graduates should
prepare themselves for a change
in their social life when they get
a real job.
One thing that no one really
preps you on is the difculty of
making new friends, Velasco
said. When youre out of college
and in the real world, youre kind
of out of your bubble now and
the ability to meet people is really
difcult. Talking with other recent
grads, this is a common theme we
all seem to share.
Velasco learned of the
opportunity from professor Neeli
Bendapudi, the dean of the School
of Business, and said professionals
like her can be vital in the post-
graduate job search.
Having a mentor or talking
to professors and things like
that will really be benefcial to
people, he said. People who are
well connected will know stuf
and know people you wouldnt
necessarily know about.
Ann Hartley, associate
director of career networks at
the University Career Center,
reiterated that those who want to
fnd jobs need to be networking,
especially online.
Getting out and doing more
networking is important before
you graduate, she said. It seems
like most employers are using
LinkedIn, so make sure you have
a profle and it is active and up to
date and that youre going out and
trying to connect with employers
through LinkedIn.
UNABLE TO FIND WORK
Unfortunately, immediate
success stories like Velascos
arent guaranteed. Some students
are unable to fnd a job in their
preferred career path and have to
resort to part-time work.
For me, it just got to the
point where I realized that I
had to take whatever I could get
afer graduating, said Coulter
Cranston, who graduated with a
degree in Chemistry last May.
You just take something and
use that as a source of income
while you look for a job in your
feld.
Cranston struggled to fnd work
in his feld afer applying for
multiple positions, and eventually
settled for a job as a sales associate
at the KU Bookstore in July.
Afer working there for a couple
months, a full-time position
opened up at Health Care Access
Clinic where he had previously
worked as a volunteer. Afer a
difcult interviewing process, he
was awarded the position.
He said the most difcult part of
the whole process was feeling like
his four years of schooling had
not paid of, but he understood
it was necessary to bite the bullet
and earn a paycheck, no matter
the size.
Its difcult to put pride aside
and settle afer working so hard
for a degree, Cranston said. But
youll be glad you have a source of
income while you keep looking,
though.
For graduates like Cranston
who are struggling to fnd a job
right out of the gates, Hartley
again suggested that constant
networking and communication
in your chosen feld is crucial.
Finding a way to get face-to-
face and talk with somebody is
important, Hartley said. Of
course theres not any guarantee,
but you need to make sure
youre trying to connect with as
many people possible in a lot of
diferent ways.
POST-GRADUATE EDUCATION
Miranda Fields, a senior from
Shawnee, fnally got the letter she
was waiting for: One from the KU
School of Medicine.
I walked in and I saw the letter
sitting on the counter and my
stomach just dropped, Fields
said. I picked it up and it was
thicker, and I said to myself Tey
dont send multiple sheets just
telling you no, so I tore into it,
read the frst line and just started
screaming.
Fields acceptance into medical
school was the culmination of
years of prep-work, including
months of studying for the MCAT,
volunteering at hospitals and
flling out tedious applications.
She said those who wish to
continue on with their education
afer graduation, whether it be
medical school, law school or
just graduate school, need to be
prepared from the start of their
college careers.
I remember sending my mom
a text my sophomore year when
all my friends got to go out for
stop day, and I was still studying
Organic Chemistry. I said, I just
want to be a doctor so bad, I really
hope this pays of, and thats the
mentality you have to have,
she said. When your friends
are going out and doing other
things, you have to study and be
dedicated because what you do
as a freshman and sophomore
matters.
Hartley said some students
dont consider post-undergrad
education as seriously as Fields
did, which can cause trouble
down the road. She recommends
going to graduate school only if
its part of a specifc career plan,
not just delay entering the adult-
world.
If youre just going to grad
school or law school because you
dont have a plan, it may or may
not be benefcial to you, she said.
I tell students to really research
that carefully, really talk to folks
about it and commit to it and
make sure its going to be a beneft
for you, because youre going to
spend a lot of money and a couple
extra years in school and if you
still dont have a plan, you may
fnd yourself unemployed coming
out.

Student Senate is on its targeted
budget afer passing $5,280 at
Wednesday nights meeting with
$24,215 lef in this years budget.
Student Senate has a smaller
budget this year than in years past,
because enrollment is down and
less money was lef over afer last
spring.
Where last year we were able to
fund student groups a lot more,
we have to look a little bit more
critically at what we fund, said
Drew Harger, Student Senate
treasurer and a junior from
McPherson.

Keep heat on while away to avoid pipe bursts
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
By turning off the heat over long periods of time, the homeowner risks the major damage of pipes rupturing due to freezing
temperatures.

Prepare dorms, apartments for winter break
KAITLYN KLEIN

Tough students will get to en-
joy a month free from the stress
of campus life and classes, the
University wont shut down while
students are away.
KU Student Housing will use the
extra time that students are away
to maintain and deep clean facil-
ities.
Doug Carter, associate direc-
tor of operations for KU Student
Housing, said in addition to rou-
tine preventative maintenance and
cleaning, Lewis Halls Academic
Resource Center will be upgraded.
Templins ARC was updated last
summer and Ellsworth Hall will
receive an update in summer 2014.
Winter break, summer break,
spring break are all windows of
opportunity we have to do small
projects and to do some preven-
tative maintenance work, Carter
said.
Student Housing facilities will
also go through a safety check this
winter. Students who live in stu-
dent housing are given a checklist
of how their rooms must be lef
over the extended break. Some of
those items can also be applicable
to students who live of campus.
Take everything you need for break (dorms are
locked during the break)
Close and latch windows tightly
Leave window blinds down with the slats open
Remove trash
Unplug all electrical items
Turn thermostats or blowers to low
Turn lights off
Close and lock doors
Turn off (and unplug) electronics
Clear fridge of perishable foods
Take out the trash
Lower thermostat, but keep above 55 degrees
Set lights on timer (or turn off)
Close and lock windows and doors
Check your mail one last time before you leave
Do NOT leave a spare key hidden outside
Store your valuables in a safe place

Vacation Checklist
Dorm Winter Break Checklist Apartment Checklist
Imagine coming home from win-
ter break only to fnd your house or
apartment completely fooded. If
students arent careful this could be
a very real possibility.
A student who turns of the heat
while away over the break risks
major damage to their residence.
With no heat, the temperature in
an apartment or house can dip be-
low freezing.
At such low temperatures the
water inside pipes freezes and
expands. Te expansion of ice
ruptures the pipes causing food-
ing. Tis can easily be avoided if
students simply remember to keep
their heat on while they are away.
Austin Enns, a second-year law
student from Hutchinson, knows
the frustration of ruptured plumb-
ing.
Ive had pipes explode on me be-
fore. Yeah, its terrible, Enns said.
Enns explained he had a pipe in
a dishwasher burst during a snow-
storm but his roommate managed
to repair it quickly to avoid major
damage.
Owner of Vitos Plumbing, Mike
Capra, explained that this kind
of damage can easily run into the
thousands of dollars. He recalled
a house that sustained $85,000 dol-
lars in damage afer having a pipe
burst while the occupants were
on vacation. According to Capra
it can take a week to clean up the
damage before a person can move
back into their apartment or house.
Taylor Hahn, assistant proper-
ty manager of Campus Court at
Naismith, said broken pipes arent
very common occurrence as res-
idents are reminded to keep their
heat on while they are away.
Hahn explained that most lease
agreements include terms re-
quiring tenants to keep the heat
at a minimal level during winter
months. While diferent tenants
have diferent lease agreements,
residents are generally required
to keep their apartments at 55 to
60 degrees. Hahn added that if a
tenant has a pipe burst, they are re-
sponsible for damage that may oc-
cur to their neighbors apartments.
Capra cautioned that if students
forget to keep their heat on, they
should be prepared for the damage.
If they shut it of, get ready,
Capra said.

I
ts simply not possible to
understand the Kansas budget
without examining the states
education spending. It represents
the single largest expenditure for
the state: the Kansas Department
of Education spends one out of
every four dollars budgeted in a
given year. Te efects on the lives
of Kansans is huge, with more
than 485,000 students enrolled in
Kansan public K-12 education at
more than 1,300 public schools.
More than 40,000 Kansans work
in those schools.
Kansas schools are a critical
component of quality of life in
the state. Without adequate K-12
education, students are not pre-
pared to attend college or enter
the workforce, and the quality
of schools can infuence where
people decide to live. Historically,
the state has recognized that local
funds are insufcient to provide
this public service, and the state
contributes money to school
budgets to support education for
all Kansans.
Te adequacy of that funding is
now being called into question.
In 2006, a major case before the
Kansas Supreme Court (Montoy
v. Kansas) determined that educa-
tion funding was both insufcient
and unfairly distributed. Te
Kansas state constitution requires
that suitable provision for f-
nance of the educational interests
of the state be provided, which
was the basis for the Montoy
decision and the impetus for the
resulting increase in funding.
Obviously, determining exactly
what constitutes suitable pro-
vision, is difcult and arbitrary.
Professor Michael Podgursky
of the University of Missouri
Department of Economics has
testifed in Kansas court that
there is no statistically signifcant
relationship between money
spent and student performance
in other words, a certain baseline
level of funding wont guarantee
that every student can attain a
certain test score.
On the other hand, its difcult
to argue that school districts do
not absolutely require funding to
educate their students. Teachers
must be paid, books must be
purchased and buildings must
be maintained. Tese are not
optional expenditures for schools,
and there is only so much waste
which can be eliminated before
districts must begin making
potentially harmful decisions for
students education. Currently,
leaders at the Kansas Board of
Education state that the schools
are at a breaking point; theres no
more excess money to cut.
Te problem is that Kansas
is now reducing the money it
spends to fund its schools. A re-
cent study by the Center on Bud-
get and Policy Priorities found
that Kansas has cut its education
budget by 16.5% since 2008 the
fourth largest reduction of any
state in the country. Some of this
represents savings as schools in
rural areas consolidate, and some
is gained by raising more money
locally through property taxes.
Te rest is simply schools making
do with less.
Tis situation exists because
Kansas no longer collects suf-
cient tax revenue. State revenue
dropped in the recession, and
a temporary increase in the
state sales tax ofset some of the
losses until the economy began
to recover. However, Governor
Brownback drastically cut income
taxes, shrinking state revenue
and prompting new education
spending cuts.
Te future of Kansass education
budget may hinge on another
case before the Kansas Supreme
court, Gannon v. Kansas. Te
Wichita, Hutchinson, Dodge City
and Kansas City school districts
are suing the state, again with
the goal of forcing it to provide
suitable provision for public
education. If they win, the state
budget will be forced to include
an additional $440 million for
education funding.
Right now, the state is relying
on its rainy day fund to pay its
obligations while lawmakers wait
for the promised gains from eco-
nomic growth following tax cuts
to materialize. Te Kansas City
Star reported that the legislative
research staf found that its just
not possible to add an additional
$440 million without somehow
increasing revenue.
Supporters of the tax cuts argue
that the income tax savings
beneft Kansans. Teyre wrong.
Tis year, 85 of the states 105
counties raised their property
taxes to compensate for the lack
of state funding. Kansans still pay
taxes, and tax revenues become
concentrated in areas with higher
property values.
Ofentimes, lawmakers are faced
with complicated problems that
do not have clear solutions. For
Kansas, this is not one of those
times. Paying for education
requires money, and raising that
money in turn requires taxes
sufcient to fund the state budget.
Instead, conservative Kansas
policymakers have chosen to
cut spending now while hoping
that an unbelievable windfall is
headed our way. Unfortunately
for the state, ignoring Kansass
obligations to its students cant
make the need to fund education
disappear.

ne of the best things
about going to a sporting
event is getting on the
Jumbotron. Teres no better feel-
ing than being displayed on a high
defnition, 18-foot wide screen in
front of all of Allen Fieldhouse.
Tat being said, there are a lot of
people in an arena, and getting up
there isnt always so easy. I should
know; Im the guy who puts you
on.
Ive been working as a camera-
man for the KU video board since
the beginning of the semester, and
Ive gained insight as to what it
takes to make the big screen. It all
comes down to fve key factors:
being visible, on time, attentive,
dressed up and animated. Allow
me to explain.
1. FIND A CAMERAMAN AND BE
VISIBLE TO THEM
Look for where the cameramen
are typically on the court and
scattered around the top of an
area. Choose a seat thats directly
in their view. We cant always look
around the entire stadium to fnd
people. Tis is due to time and
efciency its hard to scan all
of Memorial Stadium or Allen
Fieldhouse for that one person we
need right now. Tat means we
rely on dense areas of excited fans,
like the student section. Its not
the only place, but itll give you
the best chance of getting on the
Jumbotron.
2. TIMING IS EVERYTHING
Even if youve got a good
position, its not a guarantee that
youll make it. You also have to
be aware of when we want to put
fans up. Its probably not going to
happen while the game is being
played. Te most opportune
time is during longer periods of
downtime (timeouts, halfime,
quarter changes). We dont do
this every break, as sometimes
theres sack races, announcements
or other segments that have to be
done. And this leads me to my
next point.
3. PAY ATTENTION
When a break comes on, look at
what the video board is showing.
If fans are on camera, it probably
means the whole break will be de-
voted to fans. If theres something
else going on, save your energy for
the next break. Take a moment at
the beginning of each break to see
whats up, and then act according-
ly. I see people at every game that
I want to put on, but cant because
they are on their phone, talking to
someone or eating food.
4. Costumes, Children and Posters
Now that you know when and
where, the only thing lef is to
make yourself stand out. Tis is
an obvious step, but its the easiest
way to make it. Costumes are
crucial, even if its just a cool hat.
We want the most passionate fans
to be on display, and those who
are willing to come dressed up
to a game deserve to be up there.
Posters are another great way to
get noticed, but leave the negativ-
ity at home. We dont want to put
up anything ofensive or vulgar,
because kids go to games too. In
fact, we love to put up cute kids
who are having fun. For guaran-
teed success, bring a child, dress
up in matching costumes AND
have a sign.
5. BE EXCITED!
Im sure you know that were
looking for fans who are dancing,
jumping around and getting excit-
ed. What you probably dont know
is that cameramen cant guarantee
that youll get on screen. Teres
a director who sees all the angles
and decides which shots are going
to be used. If the director notices
youre excited, hell try to switch
to you, but if you look like youre
about to stop, hell skip you. Start
being excited at the beginning of
a break and keep going as long as
you can. Also, staying excited will
help you stay up there longer.
Tere you have it. Now you have
everything you need to know, so
get out there and be famous for
a few seconds! If you dont make
it up there, dont be discouraged.
Remember that were only human.
We dont always see you. Teres a
ton of games, and one day, youll
get your shot.

Why is the entryway to Watson the
warmest place in the entire library?!
True. League of legends isnt

I took my jeans off in the middle of
my lecture in Budig today (I was

Cant believe Lawrences best ugly

I have ofcially reached the point
of nobody cares about anything

Lindsay Lohan must be in town.

EDITORS NOTE: Typical.
Just saw a girl wearing a Colorado
Buffs sweatshirt. Is it socially
acceptable to rip it off her body and
burn it?
Im loving all the elf references in the
weather section.
I have to speculate that the horo-
scopes ALL being 5s and 6s is not
coincidental this close to nals.
Not sure if Im drinking whiskey at 6
A.M. on a Wednesday to get over the
cold, or if Im just an alcoholic.
I dont know if I drink more when
Kansas wins or loses, all I know is
that basketball games are bad for
my liver.
I just realized and nd it a bit ironic
that my organic chemistry lab note-
book is carbonless.
I dont think the world is ready for
how pissed off Ill be if were out of
the top 25.
The quiet study areas should not be
used for social hour. Its rather dis-
tracting to listen to girls gossiping
about the VS fashion show.
The future freaks me out.
Totally just laughed at a girl who
slipped going up the stairs... Right
in her face.
Quiz up is training an entire
generation to own Who Wants to Be
a Millionaire someday. Is that show
still on?

project. Contact team members and
keep everyone informed of the latest

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today is a 6

ination. Gather information.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 6

charming now. Take deep breaths,

luxurious evening at home with good
food and company.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7
The two of you light up the room. A
nancial shortfall is temporary. Take
an opportunity to add comfort to your

out exactly as you pictured, but it still
works. Express your love.

The Oxford Dictionaries named sele as the word of the year. According to oxforddictionaries.com, a sele is a photograph that
one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website.
While college students prepare
for fnals, editors and lexicogra-
phers at Oxford Dictionaries, Te
American Dialect Society and
Merriam-Webster Inc. are work-
ing just as hard to add another
word to the English language for
us to study.
Fabulous, right?
Well this year, although Oxford
Dictionaries named selfe the
word of the year based on its sud-
den popularity. Merriam-Webster
Inc. respectfully disagrees and has
declared science the word of
2013 based on data from over 100
million lookups per month. Looks
like we wont be having more
to study afer all that is until
American Dialect Society releases
its word in January.
Before choosing the word of
the year, Merriam-Webster Inc.,
Americas leading dictionary pub-
lisher, sifs through what they
would call evergreen words or
noise words that are looked up
daily for no particular reason and
do not relate to any particular sto-
ry. Tey are then able to choose
the word of the year by focusing
on the words that showed the
greatest increase in lookups this
year as compared to last year, ac-
cording to its website.
In years past, words of the year
have been directly related to that
years most newsworthy stories.
For example, in 2008 the word
was bailout and from that we
can obviously see the word is the
story, says Peter Sokolowski, ed-
itor-at-large for Merriam-Web-
ster. And more recently last year
during the election the word was
split between socialism and capi-
talism, again, for obvious reasons.
An interesting story lies behind
each word that is chosen by Merri-
am-Webster, but perhaps more in-
teresting is that fact that this year
no story lies directly behind the
reason why science was looked
up almost three times more than
it was last year. Regardless, their
research shows that the word sci-
ence, a broad term that covers an
enormous amount of subjects, has
been on our minds.
From evolution, to climate
change, to the cognitive ability
of the young, science covers a
wide spectrum of information
that is being both questioned and
researched. Unlike Oxford Dictio-
nary that chooses a current and
trendy word, and the American
Dialect Society that meets in per-
son to vote on their word of the
year, Merriam-Webster chooses
a word based on a quantitative
measure.
Te media loves nothing more
than to talk about themselves,
says Sokolowski. So when you
have a word like selfe, that gives
everyone a chance to contemplate
the narcissistic impulse that is
encouraged by social media, you
see an explosion on social me-
dia where everyone wants to talk
about the actual medium in which
they are discussing it.
But popularity is not what is im-
portant to Merriam-Webster. It
is a free public utility so they feel
as though it is their responsibili-
ty to tell the truth about words.
Sokolowski does not know why
people have researched science
as much as they have, but that is
less important to him than the
fact that they did. While Merri-
am-Webster may be really good at
reading data, it is not able to read
minds.
Te word marriage, a top ten
word from 2012, was looked up
less frequently this year than it
was last year. Tis is surprising
considering this year was the
Supreme Court decision on the
Defensive Marriage Act, the re-
peal of Californias Proposition 8
and decisions in various states to
allow same-sex marriages. Now
that these issues are in the hands
of state legislatures, people are
less interested in the controversy
proving that culture moves faster
than media and government.
While some words are looked
up due to their difculty in the
English language, others are re-
searched because they have been
placed in big news stories, and
others are studied because of a
single utterance by a prominent
government ofcial. So whether
the word science was looked up
frequently this year due to climate
change or Obamacare and the sci-
ence of research in pharmaceuti-
cals, we do not know. But what we
are sure of is that there has been a
general interest in a general word,
says Sokolowski.

Merriam-Webster editor-at-large
Solace Naeymi may have made a
mistake by not cashing in when she
had the chance. Her artwork is cur-
rently on sale in downtown Law-
rence, but she thinks the prices she
set arent as high as they should be.
I set them extremely lower than
I should have, especially because
I have them all framed, Naeymi
said. Her artwork is currently on
sale from a range from $50-75, but
she thinks they should have been
set at $80-150.
Naeymi, a senior from Overland
Park in the School of the Arts, spe-
cializes in painting and printmak-
ing. She is currently the December
featured artist at Lawrences local
record store Love Garden Sounds.
Her gallery opened Nov. 29 for the
Lawrence-wide art celebration that
takes place every last Friday of the
month, Final Fridays.
Naeymi isnt worried about the
money; shes actually just happy to
be selling her artwork. As a student,
not many chances come around to
make money of artwork.
My goal was to just sell as much
stuf as I could at the end of the se-
mester to kind of clean house,
Naeymi said.
But the idea that students and
other amateur artists have trouble
selling their work seems to have
dissipated almost completely in
Lawrence. Love Garden is only one
of the many alternative art galleries
that participates in Final Fridays.
According to Lawrence.coms de-
scription of Novembers event, 17
of the 24 participating businesses
that are not directly connected to
visual arts hosted artists in their al-
ternative galleries.
Love Garden Sounds owner Kelly
Corcoran said the store isnt solely
devoted to students, and will fea-
ture art from anyone. But he does
think that the Final Fridays event
allows for more opportunities and
benefts both the artists and the
businesses in Lawrence.
It defnitely results in more bod-
ies out and about, Corcoran said.
Anybody would be a fool to not
throw themselves in with the Final
Friday slot, to some degree, just for
the fun of it and the community as-
pect of it.
Love Garden has been featuring
artists since 2006. Corcoran said
the stores policy asks for 20 per-
cent of the sale as its fee to feature
an artist, but he said very rarely has
he asked for the full amount. Since
the stores main business is selling
records, asking for money from art-
ists isnt a priority.
We pay the rent through selling
records and CDs, Corcoran said.
Jon Marzette, a senior from Law-
rence who specializes in graphic
design, sold art through the same
route as Naeymi. He said that be-
cause he works at Te Bottleneck,
hes had the opportunity to get in-
volved with Final Fridays.
Marzette said that he was able to
get Te Bottleneck to host a Final
Friday event this past summer be-
cause the bar had nothing going on
that night. He said his experience
was so positive that it gave him
the courage to ask to be in a show
in another gallery that allowed
him sell some artwork and create
connections with others in the art
scene.
It was defnitely a learning expe-
rience, Marzette said. Youve just
got to put yourself out there some
way, somehow frst.
Marzette doesnt ask for much
money for his artwork because of
his status as an amateur student art-
ist. Te most he would ask for was
upwards of $80, but tends to sell his
work for only around $15. He said
because of his lack of experience,
he just tries to get a little more than
he spent to create each piece.
No one is going to buy my paint-
ings or art for $200 yet, because
why would they? Marzette said. I
think its fair enough to get a little
bit out of it, but also make up for
the money you spent.
Marzette plans to become a free-
lance graphic designer when he
graduates from the University in
the spring. At that point he may in-
crease his rates and work on more
pieces then he does now.
Mitchell Spain, a graduate stu-
dent from Norwalk, Iowa, study-
ing fne arts at the University who
specializes in ceramics, said that
he sold his artwork through tra-
ditional art galleries in Iowa City
when he got his undergrad degree
at University of Iowa. He has also
sold his work through shows he
did for his undergrad studies, his
review shows for his M.F.A, as well
as word of mouth.
When it came to selling his work
by himself, he looked into the mar-
ket rate for art.
Its kind of a touchy subject when
it comes to price, Spain said. Its
looking at market research. See-
ing what a similar object would
go for by a person in my similar
situation.
When he was featured in tradi-
tional art galleries, they would pay
him by commission. Te gallery
would sell the piece, then send a
portion of the sale to him afer-
ward.
Te commission route is the same
business practice used by Phoenix
Gallery in Lawrence. Manager Su-
san Shea said that artists will ap-
proach the gallery or the gallery
will seek out artists itself, but they
tend to focus on unique pieces that
the gallery doesnt already have.
Shea said Phoenix Gallery current-
ly features 360 artists, but there is
also a long waiting list at the mo-
ment.
If someone comes in doing met-
al work thats very diferent, very
unique, sometimes theres a niche
for them immediately, Shea said.
Its something that has to suit our
gallery, and there are space limita-
tions.
Te waiting list hasnt stopped
University students from getting
into the gallery. Shea said that they
are working on a show for February
that will feature only students.
Its going to be a great show, Shea
said. I think its important for us to
promote the college students.
Te gallery is currently accepting
submissions for the show. Shea said
the only step to getting into the gal-
lery is to make contact.
We cant always fnd everybody,
Shea said, so they have to make
that contact.

they have. Te holidays are a time
of ample spending, fnals and pitiful
paychecks, which is why we could

shop this holiday season. As college
students, our shopping lists are any-
thing but brief; roommates, friends,
boyfriends, girlfriends, family,

Six steps to nance
holiday shopping
MACKENZIE LEANDER
mleander@kansan.com
1. Shop online in advance
Erin Maupin, senior from Wichita.
Business minor, enrolled in ACCT 205 Survey of Ac-
counting and FIN 305 Financial Basics
Most stores tell you when you need to order by so that
you dont have to pay extra shipping to get your gift in
time for the holidays. Google the name of your store
and promo code, such as, BCBG promo code, before
checking out because you can usually nd one that will work multiple places and save
you some money.
2. Leave your cards at home
Ryan Brokke, senior from Topeka.
Economics major, enrolled in FIN 305 Financial
Basics
This allows you to only spend what you have and
what you plan on spending. With that in mind, you
also need to have a strong plan of what you are in-
tending to purchase, that way you will know how much money you should accurately
budget.
3. Skip spending all together
William E. Lewis, a University distinguished lecturer
Teaches FIN 101Personal Finance 101 and FIN 310
Finance
I remind students that they have no money and
everyone knows they have no money. The best thing
is to take the time and have meals with family, help
around the house and enjoy each other.
4. Split up the gift giving
Lisa Wojcehowicz, senior from Milwaukee.
Business minor, enrolled in FIN 305 Financial Ba-
sics
Splitting a big-ticket item makes life a little easier
because it costs you half the price and, like in my
case, your brother helps purchase a gift for your mom
that she really wants instead of buying her yet another frying pan.
5. Do your budget research
James K. Gentry, a University professor
Teaches FIN 305 Financial Basics
After you determine what the gifts youll give, do
some research on prices. Id use a combination of
online research and seeking ideas from friends via
Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.
6. Always plan ahead
Andrew Dotts, junior from Shawnee
Enrolled in FIN 310 Finance
Its hard to shop for family and friends, especially
since the holiday season always comes at the end of
the semester around nals. Its difcult to come by
extra cash; Black Friday and Cyber Monday are good
opportunities to take advantage of the best prices on the best gifts. Taking advantage
of Black Friday and Cyber Monday will save students money and allow them to get
shopping done in advance so you dont have to stress through or after nals.

Custodial workers give a face to campus cleanliness
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
Janice Simmons wanted to be an
artist when she grew up. Ten, afer
she was done with school, she want-
ed to be an interior decorator.
But you know what I ended up
as? Cleaning, she said with a laugh.
Simmons has been a custodian at
the University for 22 yearslon-
ger than some students have been
alive. Every morning at 6:30 a.m.,
she starts her shif in Zone 5 (in the
Spencer Museum of Art and Spen-
cer Research Library) vacuuming,
cleaning the entryway foors and
cleaning the bathrooms.
To me, its a routine. I know I got-
ta do it, so I just get in there and do
it, she said.
Nobody when theyre young says,
Im going to grow up and be a cus-
todian, Darlene Hall, Simmons
Zone 5 custodial manager, said.
Its not a glamorous job, but its
got benefts and perks to it. It does
feel good when you take something
thats bad and you make it look
pretty.
Simmons has a sense of pride in
what she does, especially afer the
laborious task of stripping and wax-
ing a foor. But when it shines, peo-
ple notice.
Everybodys like, oh, your foors,
they look good, Simmons said.
Without hesitation, Simmons said
the bathrooms are the most dread-
ed part of the job.
I go into some of the bathrooms
and its like, do you guys really live
like this? Simmons said with a
sigh. [Teres] a toilet full of crap,
still sitting in there from the day
before.
Some people just dont fush,
Hall said.
Or theres paper all on the foors,
Simmons added. Come on now.
In addition to the daily work-
load, Hall is responsible for feld-
ing emergency calls from other
buildings throughout the day to her
team of seven custodians. Although
Janice and her coworker dont have
access to a vehicle, they recall one
assignment they were sent on in-
volving a brown, sticky mess lef for
them on a staircase.
Its like we needed a facemask to
clean it up, Simmons said. Tose
are the kinds of jobs we have to do.
Te praise they get is few and far
between, but it makes the miserable
moments worthwhile.
Tere will be a few students who
will not even get out of your way
and look down on you, but then
youll pass one that will just look at
you and say thank you, Hall said.
Tat always just makes you feel
good.
In July 2012, Facilities Operations
merged with Campus Housing to
operate under one blanket depart-
ment: Facilities Services. It includes
everything from maintenance and
construction services, to business
administration, to energy manage-
ment.
Facilities Services is one of fve
non-faculty job families in Phase
One of the Classifcation and Mar-
ket Study at the University, which
was completed early last month.
Te study better defned job titles
and developed a salary range that
refects similar jobs in the market.
CBIZ, the studys consultant frm,
recommended an annual starting
salary for custodians of $22,000,
which is below the US Department
of Health and Human Services
poverty guideline for a family of
four by $1,550. However, the Uni-
versity raised the minimum salary
to $24,000, with a maximum of
$34,181.37. Applicable pay increas-
es were refected in workers pay-
checks last week.
In addition to a salary, Facilities
Services workers receive health, vi-
sion and dental insurance through
the state, vacation and sick time,
nine paid holidays per year, life in-
surance benefts and access to the
gym in Robinson during certain
times of day.
Before the Facilities Services
merge, Simmons said there were
periods of time when staf mem-
bers salaries were frozen, or they
were locked out of a raise.
Despite the studys efects, Sim-
mons said she feels she should be
making more.
Twenty-two years, she said with
a contemplative chuckle.
When Simmons was laid of from
Scotch Cleaners, she found her cus-
todial job through a brother who
worked at the University. She had
two children at the time and the
generous health insurance benefts
appealed to her.
Simmons has a spunky, mother-
lyand slightly intimidatingde-
meanor. Her eyes are gentle, she
speaks her mind, but she always
cracks a smile or lets loose an
amused laugh, never taking herself
too seriously.
She lives with one of her daughters
and her three grandchildren, and
afer Simmons shif ends at 3 p.m.
she manages an in-home daycare.
Sometimes she has up to 13 kids
running around her house on any
one afernoon.
Te people she visits with and the
people she works with everyday are
like family to her, too. Her cowork-
er, a young mother of a one-and-a-
half year old girl, ofen asks for Sim-
mons parenting advice during their
shifs together.
I treat her like shes my daughter,
Simmons said, smiling. I try and
keep her on track.
Simmons isnt just part of the
backbone of the University: shes
the backbone of her family.
Tey know moms a hard work-
er, she said. Tey respect that.
Anybody can clean, but it takes an
eye for detail, patience and a good
attitude to be a custodian. In the
eight years Hall has been a super-
visor, she said shes seen some who
claim they have experience, but lack
these key qualities. She appreciates
her teams dedication.
Its nice working with a group of
people that knows their jobs and
they dont have to be babysat, she
said. I can count on them to get
their work done.
Te amount and type of work Fa-
cilities Services does is what keeps
the University running day to day.
In a very small way, its our way
of contributing and helping the stu-
dents become successful, Hall said.
Because if were not here
Te place would be, oh my God,
Simmons added. I couldnt imag-
ine what the place would be if we
wasnt here.

Tis will make Student Senate
more able to serve students,
Harger said.
Student Senate also voted 51-1-
5 to allocate block fees every year
instead of every other year.
Well be in much better contact
with managers of the student fees,
Harger said.
Harger said that allowing student
senate to review funds yearly will
make it more possible to allocate
funds as needs are created or
disappear.
Tese changes will go into efect
at the beginning of the next fscal
year, July 2014.
STUDENT SENATE ENDORSES
RENTAL SAFETY INSPECTION
EXPANSION
Student Senate has voted 46-2-7
to support an expansion of a city
of Lawrence rental registration and
licensing program.
Te Lawrence city commission
has been debating and postponing
voting on expanding citywide rental
licensing programs. Te ordinance
would require landlords to allow
the city to inspect single-family and
multiple-family dwellings to make
sure buildings are up to city safety
codes.
I havent heard any reservations
from students yet but I have
heard it from landlords, said Eric
Hurtt, student senate government
relations director and senior from
Kansas City, Mo. We have to
remember that landlords are in it
for the money.
Inspectors would check if doors
ft right, windows are cracked,
there are enough smoke detectors
and other safety code violations.
Inspectors would not be searching
for illegal activity and would not
have authority to further search
dwellings for illegal items.
An inspector must frst arrange
a mutually convenient time and
get consent from the tenant before
coming into the home. If declined,
the inspector can pick someone
else in the complex or, in extreme
cases, apply for a warrant. In the
event that an inspector needed a
search warrant, the tenant would
be notifed of expected inspection
time.
Te whole intention of this
program is to inspect these units to
make sure the students are living in
healthy environments, Hurtt said.
Hurtt believes that increasing
inspection is in the best interest of
students safety.
STUDENTS TO BE ALLOWED TO
MAKE UP SCHOOLWORK WHEN
CALLED TO TEMPORARY DUTY
Student Senate passed a bill 57-
0-0 to create a University policy to
relieve students who are called to
temporary military duty to make
up class work.
Temporary orders are for short-
term assignments, usually two to
three weeks long, that can be for
training exercises or during a crisis.
Tis bill will allow these students to
make up fnals, exams and quizzes
afer serving.
Article I, Section 3 of the
University Senate Rules and
Regulations says students with
verifable medical crisis of a relative
or friend may be excused from
a fnal examination and Article
I, Section 4 says those students
may be excused from scheduled
examinations and tests.
Last fall, the senate authors said,
a University student was called to
serve in Hurricane Sandy disaster
relief with the National Guard.
She wasnt allowed to make up a
midterm exam that she had missed
because, the authors said, an
exception to the no make-up policy
would not be made.
Tis bill will allow students in the
Reserve Components of the United
States Armed Forces or National
Guard called on temporary orders
to work with faculty to make up
fnals, exams and quizzes.
KU VS. MU PHILANTHROPIC
INTRAMURAL COMPETITION
Student body president Marcus
Tetwiler is creating a new
opportunity to defeat the University
of Missouri.
Tetwiler, a senior from Paola, has
been in contact with the University
of Missouri student body president
to create an annual intramural
competition.
Te event would include a
week of percentage nights at
local businesses in Lawrence and
Columbia, Mo., and end in a
weekend tournament between the
universities intramural teams. Te
winning state would choose a local
philanthropy to give the combined
donations.
Te rivalry between KU and
Missouri is not something we
should let go, Tetwiler said. Tat
spirit is something we should use
for philanthropic purposes.
Tetwiler said a coin fip could
decide if the frst round would be
held in Lawrence or Columbia,
Mo. Following years would rotate
between home courts. Student
senate will form a special committee
to organize this event.

B
owl season is upon us, ladies and gen-
tlemen. And while it would be nice to
see those Jayhawks in the postseason
for the frst time in half a decade, there are
still plenty of great games this month and
next. I have ranked the 20 best bowl games,
so you dont have to.
1. Rose Bowl, Stanford vs. Michigan State,
Jan. 1: How many bowl games feature top
fve teams? Two. How many of those bowl
games are played at the Rose Bowl? One. Its
science.
2. BCS National Championship, Florida
State vs. Auburn, Jan. 6: Soon-to-be Heisman
trophy winner Jameis Winston leads his
Florida State Seminoles against the second
best team in the SEC for the fnal BCS cham-
pionship, a trophy that will eventually carry
as much weight as a Helms national champi-
onship. Congrats, guys. Good luck next year.
3. Cotton Bowl, Oklahoma State vs. Mis-
souri, Jan. 3: Is there anything more Mizzou
than having a shot at the schools frst con-
ference title since 1969 and frst national
championship, only to have a team run for
545 yards and beat you by two touchdowns?
Probably, but this is the latest instance of
Mizzou being Mizzou.
4. Orange Bowl, Clemson vs. Ohio State,
Jan. 3: Ohio State played its frst team with
a pulse in the Big 10 Championship game
and lost, 33-24 to Michigan State. Clemson
wasnt much better against good teams this
season. Someone has to win, though.
5. Sugar Bowl, Alabama vs. Oklahoma,
Jan. 2: If Bob Stoops wasnt so mediocre in
big games and Nick Saban cared about bowl
games that didnt involve a national cham-
pionship, this game would be higher. But
Bob Stoops is mediocre in big games, and I
dont think Nick Saban knows which team
he is playing. Te month of bowl practices
is likely focused on West Virginia, Alabamas
opening day opponent next year.
6. Alamo Bowl, Oregon vs. Texas, Dec. 30:
If you like seeing Texas lose, which is most of
you, the Alamo Bowl is the bowl for you. Te
Longhorns were rolled by Baylors up-tempo
ofense last week, 30-10. Oregon does ex-
actly what Baylor does, only better. Oh, and
Texas head coach Mack Brown looks to be
gone by then as well. Whats not to like?
7. Capital One Bowl, Wisconsin vs. South
Carolina, Jan. 1: New Years Day used to be
nothing but good bowl games. Now most big
games have moved days to avoid television
competition. Props to the Capital One Bowl
for giving us Jadeveon Clowney on New
Years Day.
8. Pinstripe Bowl, Rutgers vs. Notre Dame,
Dec. 28: If the 10 million Notre Dame
T-shirts we saw last year while the Irish
were heading to the national championship
are any indication, Yankee Stadium will be
sold out with people begging to get in, right?
Right? Watching Notre Dame subjected to a
winter game in New York on a baseball feld
against Rutgers is too much to pass up.
9. Fiesta Bowl, Central Florida vs. Baylor,
Jan. 1: Baylor was the cinderella of the Big
12 all season and got stuck with playing a
bigger cinderella in Central Florida, which
is playing in its frst major bowl game afer
winning some league called the American
Conference.
10. Sun Bowl, Virginia Tech vs. UCLA,
Dec. 31: UCLA freshman Myles Jack is the
best two-way player in years. He was named
the Pac-12 ofensive and defensive player of
the year afer making 70 tackles at lineback-
erhis natural positionand moonlighting
as a running back the fnal four games of
the season, running for 267 yards and seven
touchdowns.
11. Chick-Fil-A Bowl, Duke vs. Texas
A&M, Dec. 31: Upset Pick: Afer learning
he has to play football
on New Years Eve, Texas
A&M Johnny Manziel
fakes an injury, sneaks
to a tailgate or house
party at Georgia Tech,
and the Blue Devils
win, 28-17.
12. New Mexico Bowl,
Washington State vs.
Colorado State, Dec.
21: Two states that le-
galized the use of cer-
tain extracurricular ac-
tivities, this bowl was
originally slated to be played
outside of a Pizza Hut. And if we knew for
sure that Washington State head coach Mike
Leachs dating advice video would be played
during the broadcast, this one would be in
the top fve.
13. Holiday Bowl, Arizona State vs. Texas
Tech, Dec. 30: Also called the Disappoint-
ment Bowl. Texas Tech has lost fve in a row
and Arizona State head coach Todd Gra-
ham, afer winning 10 games this season,
isnt even allowed to interview with his old
boss Steve Patterson for the soon-to-be va-
cant opening at Texas. Patterson was allowed
to move from Arizona State to Texas last
month, but Arizona States one stipulation
was that he couldnt hire any ASU coaches.
Tough luck, Todd.
14. Liberty Bowl, Rice vs. Mississippi St,
Dec. 31: Not only does the Liberty Bowl
take place in an actual bowl called the Lib-
erty Bowl, but fans can get a glimpse at Rices
ofense, led formerly by John Reagan, Rices
former ofensive coordinator who took over
at Kansas at the same position a few weeks
ago.
15. Advocare V100 Bowl, Arizona vs. Bos-
ton College, Dec. 31: Someone decided it
would be cruel or hilarious to take 150 col-
lege students away from Boston and Tuc-
son on New Years Eve
and make them play in
Shreveport, La. What did
those kids do to you, Advo-
care V100 Bowl?
16. Outback Bowl, Iowa vs.
LSU, Jan. 1: Another bowl that
does it right and plays on New
Years Day. Tis time we have
Iowa, which has been 8-4 every
year since the beginning of time,
against LSU and head coach Les
Miles, who might be the only na-
tional championship-winning coach
who isnt even the second best coach
in his own division.
17. Bufalo Wild Wings Bowl, Michi-
gan vs. Kansas State, Dec. 28: Te Jayhawks
and Wildcats have been going in opposite
directions since 2009, but Kansas has three
bowl wins since Kansas States last win in
2002. Will the four-game bowl losing streak
continue against Michigan?
18. Las Vegas Bowl, Fresno State vs. USC,
Dec. 21: Watching an unranked USC team
in the Las Vegas Bowl is like watching Ken-
tucky or North Carolina in the NIT. Its en-
tertaining, but you almost feel sad. Almost.
19. Gator Bowl, Nebraska vs. Georgia, Jan.
1: Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini is the Tony
Romo of football coaches. He will never
win you a championship but never be so
bad where you get rid of him. His middle
name should be 8-4, if Iowa hasnt already
claimed it.
20. Russell Athletic Bowl, Miami vs. Louis-
ville, Dec. 28: Louisville entered the season
with national title hopes. But when you play
a schedule easier than half the high school
teams in Texas, one loss sends you to the
Russell Athletic Bowl against Miami.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Lenzelle
Smith Jr. scored 19 points and No. 3
Ohio State pulled away early to beat
Bryant 86-48 on Wednesday night.
Amir Williams added 12 points
and nine rebounds for the Buckeyes
(9-0).
It was an early round game in the
Blackrock Gotham Classic which
will conclude on Dec. 21 with the
Buckeyes meeting Notre Dame at
Madison Square Garden.
Dyami Starks had 16 points for
Bryant (6-5), which was playing its
second game in three nights. Te
Bulldogs lost at Notre Dame, 70-59.
Te Bulldogs hung around with
the Buckeyes for a while, but then
went scoreless over the last 5:25 of
the frst half and watched the Buck-
eyes close on an 8-0 run to take a
43-23 lead.
Ohio State then scored the frst
fve points of the second half before
Garvin's layup ended a drought of
6:40.
Smith hit 6 of 9 shots from the feld
including half of his four 3-point at-
tempts. He had eight rebounds and
three assists.
Starks came in averaging 22.1
points a game, eighth-best in Divi-
sion I. He had scored at least 20 in
fve games and 30 in three others.
He was held to 5-of-15 shooting
from the feld.
Te Buckeyes led 8-7 early and
then scored 14 of the next 18 points
to take command.
A driving layup by Garvin cut the
lead to 28-20 with 8 minutes lef but
Williams dunked of an assist from
Marc Loving, Scott hit a baseline
layup and Smith followed a blocked
layup with a three-point play to
push the lead to 15 points.
Te Buckeyes shot 54 percent in
the opening half, hitting 15 of 28
shots with 22 points coming in the
paint.
For the game, they shot 52 per-
cent on 32 of 61. Tey hit 8 of 20
3-pointers (40 percent).
Bryant shot 28 percent from the
feld (16 of 58). It was 6 of 24 from
behind the arc.
Te Bulldogs dropped to 0-5 all-
time against Big Ten opponents.
Talk about a tough schedule: Tey
played preseason No. 1 Indiana in
the opener a year ago in their
frst ofcial game in Division I.
Tey lost that game 97-54.

QUESTION MARKS
BY THE NUMBERS
BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF

KANSAS
(6-3)
Yeah, it looks pretty bad at a
glance. Four games, three losses
and more question marks than
we had when the season started.
The reality is that Kansas is still
learning, and like most freshmen, it
seems theyve slept through a few
classes. The Battle 4 Atlantis was
supposed to toughen this team up.
It didnt. The matchup in Colorado
was supposed to help Kansas
bounce back. It did the opposite.
If theres one good thing to take
away its how the Jayhawks were
able to battle back in the second
half against Florida. Perhaps the
biggest lesson Kansas can take
away from the last two games is
that its capable of ghting back.
Better to learn that sooner rather
than later.
Naadir Tharpe
This one is a split between Naadir
Tharpe and Frank Mason. One
of them will need to establish
themselves as the more competent
point guard and so far that hasnt
been the case. Tharpe has the
experience, Mason is relentless
on the oor. Yet against Florida
the two combined for 11 points,
ve assists and eight turnovers.
Making matters worse is the lack of
passing ability from the two. Both
have seemed panicked when facing
a zone and until they gure out how
to beat it you can be sure theyll
continue to split time on the oor.
Speaking of that zone defense,
will Kansas nally nd a way to
play through it?
In Florida coach Billy Donovan used
a 1-3-1 that confused the Jayhawks
as much as anything else. Kansas
never showed much of an ability to
beat it. Theres no doubt the Jay-
hawks will continue to face the zone
until they can prove their offense
is good enough to score either way.
Joel Embiid has maintained that
the team has been able to show
some success when matching up
against it in practice, but that has
yet to transfer to a live game.
The Jayhawks continue to play with
as much aggressiveness and rage
against New Mexico as they did in
the second half against Florida.
Now that Self has seen the Jay-
hawks play at that level its hard to
believe hell let anything less slide.

The Jayhawks had four fast-break
points against Florida

gins, 26)

Days since Kansas has played in
Allen Fieldhouse
Frank Mason, Guard
As of now there is no solution for the Jayhawks point guard
problems so Self is forced to chose between the lesser of
two liabilities. Both Mason and Tharpe have struggled to run
the offense when facing a zone but Masons ability to ght
through trafc and get to the line should keep him in the
starting lineup.

Wayne Selden Jr., Guard

You could say Selden is the latest member of Bill Selfs dog-
house. Since playing 36 minutes against UTEP in the Battle
4 Atlantis consolation game, Selden has played 34 minutes
in his last two games combined including just 14 minutes
against Florida. Selden isnt the reason why the Jayhawks
have dropped three of their last four games, but he can be a
big factor in breaking out of the funk.
Andrew Wiggins, Guard

Strange as it may be, the worse the Jayhawks have played the
better Wiggins has looked. In each loss this season Wiggins
has combined for 58 points and 19 rebounds. For certain,
he was the only reason Kansas had a chance to come back
against Colorado and Florida. His ability to get down the
oor and knock down threes when the pressure is on has
become one of his most valuable tools. Then again, when the
Jayhawks are in a hole, theres only one person they give the
ball to if they want to climb back out.
Perry Ellis, Forward

Ellis had as much trouble playing against the zone as anyone
else on Kansas. In Florida he scored four points and turned
the ball over three times. Not exactly what youre veteran
sophomore can get away with in a tight battle. Then again,
Ellis is still growing too. And right now hes going to have to
gure how to be a go-to guy even when hes being swarmed
by defenders.
Joel Embiid, Center

It is a little concerning that Kansas best lineup includes four
freshman and a sophomore but Self has got to play to his
strengths and no one is stronger in the paint than Embiid is
right now. His offensive game is developed far beyond where
many imagined hed be at this point and his defense isnt
far behind. Like Jeff Withey did in previous seasons, Embiid
factors into the defense just by standing on the oor. His shot
blocking isnt all that bad either. Maybe every big man should
start off playing volleyball.

STARTERS
Sophomore forward Perry Ellis dunks the ball during the Dec. 10 game against Florida in Gainesville, Fla. Kansas lost 67-61.
Freshman guard Frank Mason attempts to block a shot during the Dec. 10 game against Florida. Mason scored nine points.

Jayhawks can still scrape together a passing grade
AP CHEMISTRY
Kansas was supposed to come
together as a team in the Bahamas,
according to coach Bill Self. When
that didnt happen, Self extended
the deadline to the Colorado-Flor-
ida road trip.
Two more losses later, the team
might not be showing many signs
of chemistry, but Self has been able
to identify why.
We passed the ball miserably,
Self said, afer falling 67-61 to Flor-
ida on Tuesday.
Tat might be an understatement.
As the Gators closed in on the Jay-
hawks it seemed as though the pan-
ic became contagious within the
team.
Perry Ellis, Frank Mason, Wayne
Selden, Jr., Naadir Tarpe and An-
drew Wiggins each had at least
three turnovers, while Mason led
the team with fve on top of zero
assists.
It was Masons third start of the
year yet Tarpe only played four
more minutes than the freshman,
while Selden was only on the foor
for 14 minutes. It was the second
time in as many games that Self
has pulled Selden for long stretches
while the Jayhawks were trailing.
Part of that is because of poor play,
while another part is that Self is
forced to play those who have prov-
en to help the team overall.
Our guard play hasnt been very
consistent so far, Self said. I cant
blame it all on youth. We could have
come here and played great and got
beat by six. A lot of it may be youth,
but I think we can still individually
play better.
A HEAD (AND SHOULDERS)
ABOVE THE CLASS
Apparently Joel Embiids transi-
tion to the starting lineup had been
in the plans for a while.
When the team announced Em-
biid would start at Florida it wasnt
exactly a shock. Tarik Black hadnt
been able to produce anything
more than a personal foul while the
seven-foot freshman continued to
make promising plays. Add in the
fact that Embiid was returning to
Gainesville, Fla., where he played
high school ball and it was nearly a
foregone conclusion that we would
get his shot.
He told me that last week, Em-
biid said of Self s decision to start
him. I think because I was playing
good.
Yet even while he was on the foor,
Embiid couldnt fgure out just why
the Jayhawks couldnt stop Floridas
commanding 21-0 run.
I dont even know what hap-
pened, Embiid said. We just
turned the ball over way too much.

STUDYING ABROAD
Over the last few games two chants
have become very common when
Andrew Wiggins is on the foor. In
Colorado it was U.S.A! U.S.A! In
Florida, it was overrated. Regard-
less, no Jayhawk showed more in
the two losses than Wiggins.
Against Florida, the Canadian
prospect exploded for 26 points,
11 rebounds and two blocks while
making all eight of his free throws.
I thought he played pretty ag-
gressive for the most part the entire
game, Self said. I just dont think
he got very many opportunities in
the frst half.
In Colorado, the freshman scored
more than 20 points as well. Self
has admitted that you can teach ag-
gressiveness and it seems as though
Wiggins has been paying attention.
His athleticism and hustle have
never been in question, but its Self s
job to get Wiggins to put it all to-
gether.
It feels good, Wiggins said of his
performance. Even though we lost
it just shows that were not going to
back down and were fghting to the
end.

NCAA BASKETBALL
No. 4 Wisconsin beats Milwaukee 78-52, remains undefeated
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON, Wis. Ben Brust
scored 18 points and Frank Ka-
minsky added 16 as No. 4 Wis-
consin remained undefeated with
a 78-52 victory over in-state rival
Milwaukee on Wednesday night.
Sam Dekker and Traevon Jack-
son scored 12 points each for Wis-
consin (11-0).
Kyle Kelm scored 17 points to
lead Milwaukee (9-3), while Matt
Tiby added 11.
Te Badgers are 11-0 for the frst
time since 1993-94.
Te Badgers took control in the
frst half afer shaking of some
early shooting troubles. Brust kept
the Badgers afoat during their
struggles, hitting his frst six shots,
including four from behind the
3-point line.
Up 22-13 more than midway
through the frst half, the rest of
the team found its stroke. Wiscon-
sin reeled of a 23-7 run that fea-
tured fve 3-pointers by fve Bad-
gers to blow the game open.
Averaging nine turnovers per
game, Wisconsin had three
straight afer missing a shot on its
frst possession. Outside of Brust,
the Badgers were 3 of 11 to start
from the feld.
Te Badgers fnished the half 9 of
13 from beyond the arc but con-
nected on just one of 13 3-point
attempts in the second half.
But Milwaukee couldnt get out
of the hole it dug in the frst half,
when the Panthers turned the ball
over 11 times and the Badgers
turned them into 18 points.
Tiby came in as the Panthers
leading scorer, and though he
scored in double fgures, the Bad-
gers played him physically all
game. Kaminsky blocked Tibys
frst shot and the Milwaukee for-
ward was 3 for 10 for the game and
had six turnovers.
Milwaukee cut the Badgers lead
to 16 points once in the second
half, but that was snufed out by a
quick 10-0 Wisconsin run.

college basketball game on Wednesday, Dec. 11, in Madison, Wis.
Te Jayhawks (4-4) had to wait
a little longer than expected to try
to halt their recent slide. A winter
storm in Texas kept the opponent
for the womens basketball team,
the Texas Southern Lady Tigers,
from being able to travel to Law-
rence in time for last Sundays
scheduled matchup. Instead, the
Jayhawks and Lady Tigers will face
of tonight. Afer this game, Kansas
will host Purdue (6-2) on Sunday.
Going into tonights game, the
Jayhawks are on a three-game los-
ing streak and have lost four out of
the last fve games. Tis includes a
road loss to Minnesota, two losses
in their Tanksgiving tournament
and last weeks loss at home to Ar-
kansas. Afer the loss to Arkansas,
coach Bonnie Henrickson said the
upperclassmen players need to take
responsibility and do their jobs.
Texas Southern (3-4) have also
lost its last three games. Tey have
not played since Nov. 30 where
the team lost to University of Il-
linois-Chicago afer leading for
much of the game. Texas Southern
was led by juniors Jazzmin Parker
and Morgan Simmons, who scored
26 and 14 points respectively.
Parker is the teams leading scorer
for the year. She is averaging about
27 points per game in the six games
she has played in this year. Junior
forward Morgan Simmons is lead-
ing the team with 8.9 rebounds a
game.
Te Jayhawks opponent for Sun-
day, Purdue from the Big 10 con-
ference, have alternated wins and
losses their last four games. Tey
have only lost to Stanford and
Duke, both in the Top 10 of the AP
Poll and womens basketball power-
houses.
Purdue has a balanced ofense
with three players averaging double
fgures in scoring. Redshirt senior
guard KK Houser and senior guard
Courtney Moses both score about
14 and a half points per game. Red-
shirt junior forward Whitney Bays
averages close to 11 points a game.
Both the Jayhawks and Boiler-
makers lost to common-opponent
Duke. Te Jayhawks were able to
keep Duke to only 73 points, but
had a hard time staying out of foul
trouble and scoring on the ofen-
sive end, only managing to score
40 points. Te Boilermakers fared
better in this aspect and scored 78
points, but the Duke ofense scored
99. Purdue bounced back from its
loss to Duke to win its most recent
game at home.
To get back on track, the Jayhawks
need to cut down on the turnovers
and fouls. Junior Chelsea Gardner,
the Jayhawks leading scorer, has
not been scoring as much as in
the beginning of the season. Re-
cently, senior guard CeCe Harper
has been leading the team in most
aspects, especially in scoring and
assists.
Tonights game against Texas
Southern is at 7 p.m. and Sundays
game against Purdue is at 2 p.m.
Both games are a part of the cur-
rent six-game home stand for Kan-
sas.

COMMENTARY
Early season
losses still matter
I
f Kansas 67-61 loss to Florida
Tuesday night had been in
the NCAA Tournament, it
wouldnt have mattered that the
Jayhawks clawed their way back
from a 15 point halfime defcit to
get within fve points in the fnal
minute. Te fact that they gave up
a 21-0 frst half run in a hostile
gym and ended up being a few
plays away from sending the game
to overtime. Tere wouldnt have
been any positives taken from
committing 24 turnovers to a good
team and still having a chance to
win the game.
None of that would have mat-
tered. Te season would be over.
But Tuesdays loss wasnt in the
NCAA Tournament, so those
things do matter. No team should
be able to give up 21 straight points
on the road to a veteran, top-25
ranked team and still have a chance
to win the game. Kansas played
worse in stretches than any game
since last years TCU debacle. Tey
missed layups, ran into teammates
while going afer loose balls, and
were sof going up for rebounds.
Tey were awful.
But there is still a tomorrow, and
head coach Bill Self has plenty of
ammunition for practices in the
near future.
Tat is how bad we are when you
dont play well, he can say. And
that is how good we are when ev-
erything is clicking.
Tere are plenty of issues, like the
continued search for a consistent
point guard, the inability to play
above a ffh grade level against a
zone defense, and in general, play-
ing sof.
But we have seen what diferent
players can do when things are
going well. Andrew Wiggins aver-
aged 23.3 points per game in the
three biggest games to date: Duke,
at Colorado, and at Florida. Joel
Embiid is beginning to become
a defensive force, averaging 2.8
blocks the last three games. Even
Frank Mason had 15 points in last
months victory over Duke.
Tere is a reason national pun-
dits still say Kansas has the highest
ceiling of any team in the country.
Maybe they will reach that ceiling
by March. Maybe not. Remember
this, though: Christmas is still two
weeks away, the Jayhawks are play-
ing the toughest schedule in the
country, and they have a younger
roster than all but two Division I
teams.
Tuesdays frst half showed us this
team has a long way to go to reach
its potential, and it may be further
away from a fnished product than
we thought. But there is a lot of
time between Dec. 12 and March 8,
the last day of the regular season.
And if the frst decade of Bill Self
basketball in Lawrence has taught
us anything, its that his teams in
December rarely resemble his
teams in March.
NBA
Knicks blow big lead but edge Bulls 83-78
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Carmelo
Anthony had 30 points and 10
rebounds, and the New York
Knicks pulled out an 83-78 vic-
tory over the Chicago Bulls on
Wednesday night afer blowing a
23-point lead.
Amare Stoudemire made the
tiebreaking jumper with 2:35 lef
and fnished with 14 points and
nine rebounds for the Knicks,
who ended a two-game losing
streak but made it harder on
themselves than necessary with
some sloppy second-half ofense.
Mike Dunleavy Jr. scored 20
points for the Bulls, who have
lost three straight and fve of six.
Tey are having a dreadful time
scoring, topping out at 75 points
in their previous two games and
barely surpassing that in this
one.
Joakim Noah had 12 points and
11 rebounds in his return afer
missing a game with a bruised
right thigh, but Luol Deng
missed his third straight game
with a sore lef Achilles.
Already without Derrick Rose
and Jimmy Butler, the Bulls gave
up a 19-0 run in the second
quarter in handing the Knicks a
lead that was too big to over-
come.
Te Knicks were without Ray-
mond Felton, who was resting a
sore lef hamstring that has both-
ered him repeatedly this season
and could be out now for what
coach Mike Woodson said would
probably be a little while.
Fellow starting guard Iman
Shumpert joined him among the
injured in the third quarter afer
bruising his lef knee during a
collision.
Te Knicks led by 12 points at
halfime and were cruising with
a lead of as much as 23 in the
third quarter before handing
the Bulls a chance to come back
by committing fve turnovers in
less than 2 minutes late in the
period. Tat allowed Chicago to
pull within 68-54 heading to the
fourth.
Te Bulls then held the Knicks
to three feld goals in the frst
9-plus minutes of the fourth
quarter, outscoring them 20-6 to
tie it at 74 on Noahs follow shot
with 3:39 remaining. Stoudemire
broke the tie with his jumper,
and Anthony made it 78-74 with
two free throws with 1:29 to go
before Chicago turned it over to
end the comeback hopes.
Chicago led 17-15 afer one
quarter, then needed more than
half the second to make its frst
basket. Te Knicks scored the
frst 19 points while the Bulls
were missing their frst 11 shots,
taking a 34-17 lead before Dun-
leavy ended the drought with a
3-pointer with 5:43 remaining.
Stoudemire was a catalyst in
the spurt while playing on both
nights of back-to-back games for
the frst time this season. He was
playing restricted minutes and
was forced to sit out some games
earlier this season following
summer knee surgery, but has
progressed past that and was on
the court for 29 minutes.
Both teams reached the second
round of last seasons playofs
but have been wrecked early
this season by injuries, with the
Bulls losing Rose again and the
Knicks going most of the season
without Tyson Chandler. Te
Knicks have been far worse than
expected, creating a strange
situation before this game where
both coaches were asked about
the Knicks coaching job.
Teres frequent speculation
that Woodsons job is in jeopar-
dy, and he acknowledged that
the Knicks arent playing as well
as last season, though added he
thinks they can once they get
healthy.
Meanwhile, an ESPN.com
story suggested that the Knicks
would try to get Bulls coach Tom
Tibodeau, who was an assistant
here under Jef Van Gundy.
I dont pay any attention to any
of that stuf, Tibodeau said. To
me, the only thing I have to do
is concentrate on our team, our
next opponent, our improve-
ment, and never get away from
that. You know, theres a lot of
stuf that gets thrown out there
... so if you pay any attention, it
does no good.
Tibodeau went on to say how
much he liked his team, and the
Bulls gave him plenty to like with
a gritty second-half comeback at-
tempt that just fell short. Carlos
Boozer fnished with 12 points
and 12 rebounds.

Westbrook propels
Thunder past Grizzlies
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Russell
Westbrook scored 27 points and
Kevin Durant added 18 to lead the
Oklahoma City Thunder to a 116-100
victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on
Wednesday night.
Reserve guard Jeremy Lamb added
a career-high 18 points to help the
Thunder to their fourth straight
win and 12th in 13 games. Neither
Westbrook nor Durant played in the
fourth quarter, when the Thunder
maintained a double-digit lead.
Mike Conley had 20 points for the
Grizzlies and Zach Randolph and
reserve Jon Leuer scored 17 apiece.
Memphis ended a season-long six-
game homestand with the loss.
A depleted Grizzlies squad
missing starters Marc Gasol and Tony
Allen with injuries stayed close to
the Thunder through most of the rst
half and trailed 40-37 after Conleys
oater in the lane with 4:19 to go in
the second quarter.
Then the Thunder put together a
17-5 run to end the half for a 57-42
advantage at the break. During the
run, Durant had two driving dunks
and Westbrook added a 3-pointer and
four assists.
Oklahoma City boosted its advantage
to as many as 24 points in the second
half on several occasions giving the
Thunder the luxury of resting Durant
and Westbrook. The Thunder were
playing back-to-back games after
defeating the Hawks Tuesday night in
Atlanta on Tuesday night.
The Thunder, who shot 61 percent in
a win over Indiana on Sunday, shot
56 percent against the Grizzlies.
Memphis shot 42 percent and was
outrebounded, 42-33.
