WELL SEE HOW IT WORKS

Administrators want to increase international students to 15 percent of KU students

EMILY DONOVAN
@emdons

More international students

than ever may attend the University of Kansas over the next
few years, thanks to a new program, but some details about
how that will affect those students and campus are not clear
yet.
This semester, 51 new international students recruited by
Shorelight Education LLC arrived on campus for the Universitys Academic Accelerator
Program (AAP).
The program is designed to
help international students
adjust to student life. After a
year studying English in the
Applied English Center (AEC)
and earning about 30 credit
hours in general education,
AAP students are expected to
become regular KU sophomores.
The AAP may be small now,
but Academic Affairs Senior
Vice Provost Sara Rosen said
she expects it to grow to 600 to
800 students. This would help
bring the Universitys total
number of international students up from this falls record
high of 9.3 percent of the student body to 15 or 16 percent.
Charles Olcese, International
Student Services (ISS) direc-

tor, said that 15 percent international student goal is a big

jump.
Youre changing the culture
really quickly there, he said.
WERE REALLY ON THE SAME
PAGE AS OTHER INSTITUTIONS
Partnering with Shorelight is
all part of the plan to support
enrollment, Rosen said.
Were not doing something
that is unusual, said AAP
Interim Academic Director
Antha Cotten-Spreckelmeyer.
Were really on the same page
as other institutions.
The University is following
the national trend of increasing international students. A
record high of 886,052 international students studied in
the United States last academic
year, according to the Institute
of International Educations
2014 report. Other U.S. universities have announced international recruitment goals
similar to the Universitys.
Shorelight also has partnerships for programs similar
to the Universitys AAP with
Florida International University, University of Central
Florida and Bath Spa University.
Supporting enrollment is
crucial because in-state enrollment has been dropping,

according to data from the Office of Institutional Research

and Planning.
Kansas has a limited market
of potential students, said Matt
Melvin, Enrollment Management vice provost. The priority focus of recruiting more
out-of-state domestic and international students has been
to bring enrollment numbers
back up.
Within that, weve been
fortunate enough to increase
our diversity racial, ethnic,
geographic, Melvin said. Its
a market development strategy
accompanied with diversity.
Recruiting more international students can also be profitable. The Universitys 2,283
international students tend to
pay more out of pocket than
in-state or out-of-state domestic students do.
For Fall 2014 first-time freshmen, Kansas residents pay
$318.25 per credit hour. Outof-state domestic students
and international students
both pay $827.70 per credit
hour. However, international
students dont qualify for U.S.
government need-based aid.
Additionally, the Universitys
merit-based aid available for

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

The University hopes to increase the international
student population to 15 percent.

KEY POINTS
1. The Universitys in-state
enrollment is declining.
2. The University is increasing out-of-state and international recruitment to support
enrollment numbers. The
University wants 15 percent
of the student body to be international students.
3. The University and contracted partner Shorelight
Education LLC co-created the
Academic Accelerator Program (AAP) last year.
4. The AAP currently has 51
new international students
this semester. The AAP is
expected to enroll 600 to 800
international students in a
few years.
5. Some details about the
Universitys relationship with
Shorelight are not finalized,
and its not clear how a larger
percent of international students will affect those students or campus as a whole.

After a semester of preliminary ideas, Student Senate

decided to create a scholarship, Ad Astra per Aspera,
for first-generation students
who want to pursue a career
in public service.
Student Body President
Morgan Said said that last
years executive staff moved
the funds to KU Endowment
and had very early ideas of
a scholarship, but nothing
came to fulfillment.
This year, I decided that
these dollars shouldnt be
sitting here unspent and underutilized, so I thought a
scholarship for the student
body was the most appropriate way to spend these
funds, Said said.
Said hopes this inaugural
scholarship will continue
from year to year.
I think its so important

international students has decreased, and those funds have
instead been focused more toward Office of Study Abroad
scholarships, Rosen said.
International Recruitment
and Undergraduate Admissions (IRUA) awards 25 to 50
merit-based scholarships to
international students each
year, some of which are renewable, said Daphne Johnston, IRUA associate director.
The University also hosts 260
international students who
are sponsored by their home
country governments. International students also still
qualify for other scholarships,
like awards given by individual departments or exchange
discounts.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
DO WELL AT KU
Something that makes the
University especially attractive is how academically successful KU international students generally are.
Weve got the infrastructure
already developed and have
had the infrastructure to serve
those students well, Melvin
said.
KU international students
generally have a high retention rate. For Fall 2012 fulltime first-time freshmen, 81.1
percent of international students returned to the University after a year. Thats a higher
retention rate than that years
overall average 79.9 percent and much higher than
the retention rate for domestic
ethnic minority students
68.8 percent.
That retention rate excludes
AEC students or students who
transferred credit from international universities, but Olcese said it indicates some of
international student success.
Once theyve made a choice
to come 5,000 miles to study,
theyre fairly committed,
Olcese said. Its not a quick
trip home and its a great investment by their family. So
theyre not going to give up on
it. And they tend to be fairly
motivated students in the first
place.
However, as international
enrollment increases, Olcese
said International Student
Services will have to do more
to connect students who need
help with resources. ISS has
only 10 full-time employees
to help the Universitys 2,283
international students with
questions about maintaining
their immigration status.
As the numbers grow, as

with any population, those

things become more and
more challenging because
were getting a more varied
kind of student to come who
[isnt] necessarily as fully prepared as they were 10 years
ago, Olcese said.
Since the AAP is designed to
transition international students into KU academics and
culture, AAP Interim Managing Director Todd Fritch said
he expects its students will
have higher retention and degree completion rates.
The ultimate success of the
program will be primarily
based on graduation rates,
Fritch said.
USING A PRIVATE COMPANY
Before partnering with
Shorelight, the University
didnt have resources to expand international recruitment.
The University only has one
full-time international recruiter, who is part of IRUA.
Shorelight has a network of
about 30 full-time employees
recruiting international students, in addition to local contract employees, Rosen said.
Until May 2013, international student recruitment was
handled by an ad hoc committee of about six members
who visited high schools and
international fairs in specific
countries.
The committee wasnt a good
long-term vision because
membership and budget was
reformed every year. In May
2013, IRUA was established
as a standing office, mostly
working on admissions and
translating applications.
Shorelight has more recruiters than the University could
hire or manage, Rosen said.
On Feb. 11, 2014, the University signed the contract
with Shorelight. Though
Shorelight filed an injunction
against a Lawrence-Journal
World records requests last
spring, a redacted copy of the
contract was released to The
Kansan last semester and can
be read on Kansan.com.
Were still working out how
we collaborate with them,
Johnston said.

HOW WILL THIS AFFECT ME,

A DOMESTIC KU STUDENT?
Rosen said she wasnt exactly
sure how increasing the number of international students
on campus will change the
classroom experience for domestic students, but she said
she thinks it will be great.
I think were going to have
to play it out and see how that
changes the experience, Ros-

Unlike for international students, Melvin said there are

no exact percentage goals for
domestic racial or ethnic minority students.
Ive always been uncomfortable with using that diversity term as a major reason for internationalizing a
campus because its just such
a catch-all, she said. I dont
think its the main reason we
have international students
here.
36 PERCENT OF KUS INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS FROM CHINA
Last semester, 36 percent of
the Universitys international
students were from China, according to ISS.
Thats about normal compared to other U.S. universities. Thirty-one percent of
all the international students
studying in the United States
during the 2013-14 academic
year were from China, according to the Institute of International Educations 2014
report.
We hardly recruit in China, Olcese said. There are so
many people and their economy is so robust right now that

en said.
Olcese said the average domestic student probably notices that 9.3 percent of the
student body is international.
But if you were to double
that number, it doesnt take
long before theres a different
feel about things, Olcese said.
Getting out ahead of that to
make that a positive change
to make sure people dont feel
like theyre losing something
is the big task ahead of us.
Johnston said international
students help the KU community open its eyes to different global perspectives.
She thinks breaking down
preconceptions about each
others homes is citizenship
diplomacy.
Its doing something really good for America and the
world, not just KU, Johnston
said. Thats why I do it.
However, though global diversity is a benefit of international students, international
students arent the only diversity on campus.

they can afford to [send their

students to the United States
to study].
Olcese said a huge benefit
of partnering with Shorelight
will be using their resources to
reach students from countries
where the University might
not previously have had brand
recognition.
Rosen said global diversity
goals would be created each
year once the AAP was more
established but did not say
when those goals would be set
or take effect.
I would like to see those
goals happen sooner rather
than later, Olcese said.
Last semester, 45 of the 57
AAP students 79 percent
were from China. Because
the contract was signed later in the academic year, last
February, Shorelight focused
its resources where there were
enough potential students to
recruit.
Countries of origin information for the 51 Spring 2015
AAP students wont be released until later this semester,
but administrators said the
class seems more diverse than
last semesters.
We know that theres a huge
Chinese pipeline right now,
but those things shift, Rosen
said. Were expecting that
our Shorelight partners will
be abreast of the shifts as these
things happen.
COMING TOGETHER QUICKLY
Some details about the Universitys relationship with
Shorelight arent finalized.
All of the critical elements
of the partnership are well-established, Fritch said. Were
now just looking at how do we
ensure appropriate allocation
of resources as the program
begins to grow.
Though the AAP is now in
its second semester, the University still hasnt hired a permanent AAP managing director or academic director.
Fritch, the interim managing director, is a Shorelight
employee who agreed to stay
at the University until a permanent managing director is
hired. Rosen said Shorelight
hasnt brought a pool of applicants to the University since
the summer, and the University is being picky about whom
it hires.
Cotten-Spreckelmeyer,
a
Humanities and Western Civilization professor, accepted
the Universitys offer to serve
as interim academic director
for one year.
Once the program is mature,
Rosen and Fritch expect to
have 600 to 800 AAP students.

dwelling and theft, were dismissed.

with the University for more than
12 years, was honored at the Kansas football game against TCU

H.O.P.E. award. Before coming to
the University, Pendergrass taught

That will affect student housing. Rosen said the University

will want to make sure international students have the option to live on-campus, which
she said influences plans the
University has to build another residence hall near Oliver
Hall. Stouffer Place, which
houses graduate, non-traditional and some international
students, will close this summer.
That will also affect classroom demands. AAP is headquartered in Strong Hall, but
Fritch said administrators
may need more space as the
program expands in the fall.
The University may also
create more programs to integrate AAP students into the
rest of the student body.
Yuhon Ye, for example, said
he wants to make more American friends. A second-semester AAP student from Changzhou, China, he watches
movies, plays ping-pong and
hangs out in dormitory rooms
with the Americans who live
on his floor in Oliver. His only
integrated class first semester,
math, wasnt much of an opportunity to make American
friends outside of his floor.
The University may also
tweak AAP course content
and syllabi, especially if integrated classes for second-semester AAP students are too
hard.
Ye is a good student he
said he earned a 3.92 GPA last
semester and likes public
speaking, but his COMS 130
class requires a lot of vocabulary and writing.
Quite difficult, but I like
this because I think its very
fun, he said.
Ye said he likes that the AAP
lets him earn college credit
while also improving his English. He did well last semester, but he said he was not sure
if hes ready to be a sophomore
yet. He still has this semester
and the summer term to do
more vocabulary and pronunciation work before comparing himself to American
students.
We didnt have the chance
to have competition with
American students, he said.
After this semester, I can give
you the answer.
Rosen said assessing and
making adjustments if needed
were parts of putting the AAP
together.
Well see how it works,
Rosen said. My hope is that it
will be a good experience for
all of the students. Well have
to see how it plays out.

Defense claims entrapment in airport bomb plot

ROXANA HEGEMAN
Associated Press

WICHITA An FBI agent

who befriended a man now
accused of plotting a suicide
bomb attack at a Wichita
airport radicalized him and
induced him to commit the
crime, defense attorneys
argued Monday.
Terry Loewen, a former
avionics
technician,
was
arrested in December 2013
when he allegedly tried to

bring a van filled with inert

explosives onto the tarmac
at Mid-Continent Airport.
His arrest capped a sting
operation in which undercover
FBI agents posed as coconspirators.
Loewen has pleaded not
guilty to attempting to use a
weapon of mass destruction,
attempting to use an explosive
device to damage property and
attempting to give material
support to al-Qaida.
Defense attorneys contended

in a court filing Monday that

the evidence of government
entrapment is so strong that
the indictment should be
thrown out even before the
case goes to a jury. They argued
Loewen had no predisposition
to commit the crime when
the government began its
investigation in June 2013.
Jim Cross, a spokesman for
the U.S. attorneys office in
Kansas, said prosecutors will
review the defense filings and
respond to the court.

Court documents detail

Loewens alleged conversations
with undercover FBI agents.
The discussions began with
vague sentiments about his
desire to commit violent
jihad against the U.S. before
turning into a detailed,
concrete plot in which agents
recruited him to use his airport
access to plant a bomb in a
martyrdom operation.
The defense noted that
Loewen
told
the
first
undercover agent that he was

the only person with whom

he had had any contact with
about jihad. Loewen also told
the undercover agents he knew
nothing about explosives.
Defense attorneys also argued
that the indictment should be
dismissed due to violations of
Loewens First Amendment
rights to freedom of speech,
religion and association.
In a separate filing, his
attorneys asked the court to
suppress any evidence seized
from his vehicle on the day of

his arrest, because they say the

search warrant wasnt good for
that day.
In a third filing, Loewens
attorneys argued that because
the explosives were inert
and the bomb would not
explode, the weapon did not
meet the legal definition of
a destructive device. They
asked the court to dismiss the
counts related to the attempted
use of weapon of mass
destruction and attempted use
of explosive device.

Kansas activists push to

ban abortion procedure
TOPEKA Kansas abortion
rights activists say a proposal to
ban a specific abortion procedure
could end up establishing
broader restrictions.
The Senate Public Health and
Welfare Committee conducted a
hearing Monday on a bill that
would ban the procedure known
as dilation and evacuation.
Kansas already bans most
abortions at or after the
22nd week of pregnancy. The
new measure could prevent
some pregnancies from being
terminated earlier.
Kathy Ostrowski of Kansans
for Life told the committee the
procedure was cruel to the fetus
and should be banned.
Julie Burkhart of the Trust
Women Foundation said the ban
would endanger womens health
and lead to additional costs due
to legal challenges.
Republican
Gov.
Sam
Brownback has said that he
would sign the bill if it passed.

Snapchat mixes info and entertainment

Anissa Fritz
@anissafritzz

ocial media apps like

Facebook, Twitter
and Instagram have
been trying to come up with
new ways to update their
users on events from around
the world without being
invasive to users. However,
the app that best informs its
users on memorable events
across the globe, and does
so successfully by separating
current events from usual
posts, is one you would least
expect: Snapchat.
Snapchat had previously
implemented Snapchat stories, which include viewing
your friends stories but
also user-submitted stories
all added into one for big
events, like sporting events
or cultural celebrations. This
was a great way to get users
out of their own bubble and
experience others cultures
from their own doorstep.

Snapchat users are able to

see behind the scene footage recorded by users like
ourselves, which adds to the
features youthful and fun
qualities.
A few days ago, Snapchat released yet another
revolutionary update with
Discover, a quick and fun
way to explore Snaps from
different editorial perspectives. There are interesting
videos and articles by CNN,
National Geographic, ESPN,
Comedy Central, and more,
all updated with new content each morning.
My first reaction was that
these stories were not only
a little intrusive, but they
were a waste of time. However, after playing around
with it, I have come to find
that not only are these particular snaps entertaining
but they are also effective at
keeping younger generations informed on current
events.

Seeing your friends

Chipotle burrito on their
Snapchat story may be cool
to some, but to see events
happening in countries
thousands of miles away is
a very exhilarating technological experience. Snapchat
chooses the best snaps from
the events to compile in a
couple hundred seconds,
making it quick and funny.
The Discover feature is also
a great way to get important
information out to younger
audiences in a totally new
and creative way.
Our world is fast paced,
and our generation likes
information to be quick and
interesting. Snapchat has
found a way for younger users to experience other parts
of the world and stay up to

#LikeAGirl commercial sends positive message

Kanika Kshirsagar
@sneakykaniky

uper Bowl Sunday is

treated like a religious
holiday. The living
room is a church, the chips
and beer are our versions of
bread and wine. Friends and
family gather around to enjoy
a classic game of football.
But whether or not your
favorite team made it to the
championship, the commercials are a must-watch.
The commercials during the
Super Bowl are classic, and
sometimes they are the most
talked about during parts of
the evening.
Every year, companies dish
out millions to have just a few
seconds of viewers attention.
The reported rate for running
a 30 second ad during the
Super Bowl is $3.8 million,
according to sbnation.com.
With that amount of money,
an ad needs to be creative

and this year, a common

theme was emotional appeal.
Many of the commercials
tugged at our heartstrings,
getting us out of our game
mode and in touch with our
softer side. Dove and Toyota
made sure viewers thought
about their own father while
they watched the sincere
bond between child and dad
unfold. While there was an
emphasis on appreciation
for our dads this year, I was
satisfied to see there were
also commercials directed
to the female audience. The
NFL has faced scrutiny when
it comes to women-related
issues, as seen with domestic
abuse cases. So, I think it was
especially appropriate for ads
like No More domestic violence and #LikeAGirl to run.
In Always #LikeAGirl
commercial, adolescent boys
and girls were asked to act
out how a girl would run
or fight what followed
were actions associated

with overly-dramatic and

uncoordinated body language. When prepubescent
girls were asked the same
questions, their depictions of
the actions represented girls
as strong, fierce and capable.
The dissimilarity between the
two age groups revealed the
decline of self-esteem and
confidence many females experience as they get older and
become more influenced by
negative societal stereotypes
of women.
Out of 1,800 Americans, 76
percent of girls ages 16 to 24
said they no longer saw the
phrase like a girl as an insult after watching the video.
Two out of three men who
saw it said they would stop
or think twice before using
the phrase like a girl in a
negative way, according to a
study by Research Now from
December.
Id like to applaud Always for their #LikeAGirl
commercial. They couldnt

have picked a better time to

point out to sexist jerks that
women should be equal to
men. The commercial shows
that women are not born into
the world thinking they are
weaker than their male coun-

Its important to take away

from this commercial that
negative ideas of women will
only continue if we decide
to create a barrier. Men get
blamed a lot for issues related
to womens equality, but if we

ITS IMPORTANT TO TAKE AWAY FROM

THIS COMMERCIAL THAT NEGATIVE IDEAS
OF WOMEN WILL ONLY CONTINUE IF WE
DECIDE TO CREATE A BARRIER.
terparts, but being constantly
told that idea can affect them
as they hit puberty. The Super
Bowl is a male-dominated
event, so it was refreshing to
see an advertisement focus
on womens issues. Not only
does it get women thinking about how they view
themselves, but it effectively
reaches the attention of male
viewers as well.

allow it to continue and do

nothing, we arent helping the
problem either. Sometimes
going along with the status
quo is just as bad as deliberately doing or promoting the
wrong idea.

Nationwide dead boy

commercial draws criticism
for sobering up Super Bowl

KELLY CORDINGLEY
@kellycordingley

udweisers lost puppy

commercial that aired
during the Super Bowl
tugged at heartstrings around
the nation. As the Clydesdales
led the precious yellow lab
puppy home, many shed a tear
remembering their lost childhood dog, missing their puppy
back at home or looking at
their puppy begging for some
five-layer dip.
Another commercial that
held sentimental value
though for other reasons
was the rather depressing Nationwide commercial. When
the young boy narrating the
commercial said, I couldnt
grow up because I died from
an accident, viewers emotions
took a sudden turn from lighthearted to heavy.
Instead of sticking with its
playful advertisement featuring
Mindy Kaling trying to kiss
Matt Damon, Nationwide
decided to drop a heart-stopping commercial that made
everyone put down their
queso-smothered chip and
look around in horror. The
Twittersphere certainly felt the
wrath of upset viewers.
Actor and screenwriter John
Francis Daley tweeted that Nationwides commercial ruined
the Super Bowl.
ESPN reporter Dan Graziano tweeted his dislike for the
commercial and questioned
the advertising team that came
up with the idea.
No one in the Nationwide
advertising meeting put up
their hand and went, Lets
sleep on this? his tweet said.
CNBC tweeted a photo of
Nationwides statement with
a caption that read, Nationwide has an explanation for its
depressing Super Bowl ad. The
statement said the ad was crucial in starting a conversation,
and the point was to increase
awareness about an issue dear
to everyones heart: childrens
safety.
While some did not care for
the ad, we hope it served to
begin a dialogue to make safe
happen for children everywhere, the statement said.
While a discussion certainly
is occurring, the moments on
Twitter after the commercial
aired were filled with memes
either making fun of the
advertisement or cringing
at its depressing tone. Many
used the still image of the boy
to make fun of the last play
of the game where the Seattle
Seahawks coach opted not to
run the ball and instead pass
it, leading to an interception
by New England cornerback
Malcolm Butler a decision
that is now being criticized as
one of the worst plays in Super
Bowl history.
According to an assessment
of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube comments by Amobee
Brand Intelligence, 64 percent
of viewers said the commercial was negative. Only 12
percent of viewers had positive
reactions and 24 percent were
neutral.
There certainly were a wide
array of commercials this
year,and as always is with the
Super Bowl commercials, some
soar to the top of the favorites list and some are barely
remembered.
Even if no one remembers
what Kate Upton was advertising or how darling the lost
puppy in the Budweiser commercial was, people will surely
remember the sobering ad in
which a little boy says he died.
Maybe that was the intention
after all.

The temperature was below

freezing and there was a light
snow falling as Gurus Gravel
Grinders took to the North
Lawrence gravel roads to bike
44 miles Sunday morning. The
ride, called the Lake Dabinawa Grinder, was the fifth one
hosted near Lawrence.
The Kansas-based gravel
biking group has been around
since 2006, when leader Chris
Locke, a Kansas City resident,
created a gravel biking blog
and began to invite people to
rides. He estimates the group
has grown to more than 300
riders total since its start, but
the number of riders vary
from race to race. He said
membership really picked up
around 2009 once the group
started giving a name to each
ride.
I just do it to give back to the
gravel sport that I love, Locke
said.
While the weather affects the
number of bikers that show
up, the group will ride through
just about anything. A ride
in Baldwin City last month,
named the Mullet, attracted
120 riders while only about 14
riders attended the Lake Dabinawa Grinder.

However, Locke said it was

one of the most fun rides he
has been on. The snowy conditions and adverse elements
challenge him and helps other
riders train for upcoming winter races, such as the 100-mile
CIRREM race in Iowa at the
end of February, he said.
The best part of it is trying to
keep your equipment going
its just a different challenge,
Locke said. It was a good time
and everyone that rode had a
smile on their face. They enjoy
the hard stuff, those elements
like that.
Locke said the emptiness of
the gravel roads is preferable
to road rides.
I like starting close to the
gravel so we dont have to
ride on the roads, because the
gravel is a lot safer, he said.
Today we got passed by one
person [in a car], we only saw
one person out there and thats
nice.
A group of the Gurus Gravel Grinders members are also
part of the Cow Town Cycling
race team, of which Locke is
the president.
The team, which rides spring
through fall, uses the Gurus
Gravel Grinders winter rides
as a way to stay in shape and
keep up with training.
Cow Town Cycling is pri-

marily a mountain bike race

team, but in the winter months
the trails tend to get muddy
and unrideable, so a good way
to stay in shape over the winter
is to ride gravel, Arnaud said.
In order to host a ride, Locke
usually asks these team members to come up with the
routes, keeping the mileage
between 30 and 65 miles. Jeff
Arnaud, a Lawrence resident
and five-year gravel biker,
hosted the Lake Dabinawa

I just do it to give back to

the gravel sport that I love.
CHRIS LOCKE
Gurus Gravel Grinders leader

ride.
I usually host one of them
a year. Its just a good way to
give back to the team and the
sport,
Arnaud said.
Aside from the 100-kilometer (about 62 miles) CIRREM
race, there is also the morethan-300-mile
Trans-Iowa
gravel road race in April and
Emporias Dirty Kanza in May.

The Dirty Kanza is celebrating its 10th anniversary with

its Decade of Dirty celebration. Riders can choose between a 20-mile, 50-mile, 100mile and 200-mile race. Dan
Hughes, a Lawrence gravel
bike rider, has participated
most years completing
seven rides and winning four
times. (One year he wrecked
and another year he didnt
compete because of an injury.)
Up to 900 people have participated in the past, and there
is expected to be more than
1,500 bikers competing this
year.
Its a great event and its just
another one of those gravel
grinders thats kind of a Midwestern thing, but its catching
fire and its awesome, Hughes
said.
Hughes, who owns Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop at
804 Massachusetts St., has
been riding for more than 15
years and said he is excited to
see that more and more people
are picking up the sport. He
said he started gravel biking
because of a desire to ride for
long distances without having
to deal with traffic and other
distractions.
You can go out for a 50-mile
gravel road ride and see one
car, he said. But you also get

to go through cool, little tiny

towns that you never would go
otherwise. Its just a lot of different surfaces and cool roads
and no cars. Its just a great experience overall.
Gurus Gravel Grinders hosts
at least two rides a month. The
next one is this weekend in
Jamesport, Mo.
This self-supportive group
of bikers rides rain or shine
around Kansas and Missouri,
and while most of the rides
are pretty basic when it comes
to technical skill, Arnaud said
riders still have to be confident in their ability to ride the
route.
Hughes said he encourages
people to go and ride, even
if its just on an old, clunky
mountain bike thats in the
garage.
Hop on it and just go ride
to the end of the levee, and
follow the gravel roads to see
where they take you, he said.
Its about a sense of exploration and the random farm dog
whos super excited that youre
on his gravel road. Its just getting right in there with nature
and having a great time doing
it.
The Gurus Gravel Grinders
rides are always free and open
to anyone who wants to join.

Black Box Productions gives students control

RYAN WRIGHT

@ryanwaynewright
Each year, Black Box Productions allows the University
Theatres promising students
to write and direct their own
plays. Now in its fifth year,
the program gives students
full creative control over their
works, which allows them to
further develop their writing
and directing skills. In the
past, the plays were solely student-directed, but this year
marks the first time that the
plays were written by students.
The two plays being performed this year are How
to Survive College and Other Painful Acts and Spilled
Time: A Comedy.
HOW TO SURVIVE COLLEGE AND
OTHER PAINFUL ACTS
How to Survive College and
Other Painful Acts is written
by Cale Morrow, a sophomore
from Dodge City majoring in
theatre and minoring in music
and creative writing.
The play is about daily struggles that many college students
face. Morrow was inspired to
write the play because he felt
it will resonate with his peers.
Its a very real story about
the struggles that young adults
go through while in college,
Morrow said. My own strug-

gles and the challenges Ive

faced throughout my college
career are what inspired me
to write this play. I figured
that if I could write a relatable
piece that was also really funny, then maybe other students
could learn from my struggles
and have an easier time in college.
Morrow has been in theater
nearly his entire life; he performed in his first musical
when he was only 6 years old.
Since then, hes been in a myriad of different productions
and plans to continue with his
work in theatre. He said he is
currently pursuing different
options and is excited to see
what his future holds.
The production is directed
by Blake Beardall, a junior
from Overland Park majoring
in theatre performance and
minoring in creative writing.
Beardall has been involved
in theater for a large portion
of his life, as he began acting
in seventh grade. He said he
agrees that the play will be
highly relatable to college students.
I was the first one of my
family to go to a large college
and I had always heard wild
stories and had seen movies
depicting college as the best
years of your life, he said.
When I got here, I was sore-

ly disappointed. This show

is about creating your own
happiness and I think thats a
message thats important to a
lot of people.
SPILLED TIME: A COMEDY
Spilled Time: A Comedy
is written by Thomas Tong,
a senior from Olathe majoring in theatre with a focus
on performance. The play is
a comedy which aims to take
the audience out of everyday
life and into a world where
the lead encounters obstacles
that comes from all angles and
where the stakes are very high.
To offer a simple summary,
Tong said, One man, with a
device that could stop time
or fast forward time, meets a
woman in an abandoned cafe,
as he preps himself to take on
an evil supervillain and a few
agents along the way. With the
help of a coffee clerk, a martial
artist, and an overbearing ego
that is his heroism, he takes
on the doctor, and saves the
world.
Tong said the production is
inspired by the slapstick comedy that was used in The 39
Steps, a play University Theatre performed two years ago.
When I went and saw that
show, the audiences were
so enthused by it, they were
taken out of reality, he said.

They went into the world of

spies and humor.
Tong started theater when
he was around 10 years old
and hopes to eventually be on
Saturday Night Live as either
a host, writer or a part of the
cast. Hes currently writing
more works and is planning
on doing a feature film as a
screenwriter. He is also in the
process of writing a television
episodic story.
The play is directed by Christoph Nevins, a junior from
Overland Park majoring in
theatre performance.
What resonates with me
about the show is the want to
be important, to find the significance of our lives, Nevins
said. When we have been
thrust into a situation that
gives us a chance to act on or
deface our own values, its the
choices of the characters that I
like to see.
Nevins comes from a family
with a background in theater.
His parents met doing Pippin in Kansas City, in which
they were the leads and lovers
Pippin and Katherine. Once
they got married, they continued to work in theater which
lead to Nevins spending a lot
of his childhood backstage
in various theaters in Kansas
City, Leavenworth and even
Germany. Nevins ended up in

Germany because his mother

works for the military as a records manager and did theater
while she was there.
His parents work in theater inspired Nevins to take a
chance. When he was 14, he
auditioned for his first role
landing two roles and has
been working constantly since
then.
Im more interested in acting over directing, but Im
moving towards play writing
myself, he said. I have an
outline for a short play along
with a three-act that will
hopefully put up next year in
the Black Box.
Black Box Productions will
open on Friday, Feb. 13 at
7:30 p.m. and will continue
to run each night until Feb.
19 excluding Feb. 16. Each
day, shows begin at 7:30 p.m.,
however on Feb. 16 shows
begin at 2:30 p.m. The showtimes include combined performances with one show
running right after the other
in the William Inge Memorial
Theatre. Tickets are still available and are $5 for students in
advance and $10 at the door.
KU Theatre can be located at
1530 Naismith Dr. #317. For

CAMP FROM PAGE 1

heres this drone with a GoPro attached to it that is
something that is going to
hopefully be drastically more
impactful on the kid than
something that is already
happening at summer camps
today.
After they assemble an advising board, the two said
they will start seeking funding, partly to provide scholarships for campers from
low income families as well
as scholarships for women
to promote participation in
STEM (science, technology,
engineering and mathematics) fields. Soto said they just
opened an Indiegogo campaign to help fund the scholarships.
In addition to the interactive engineering activities the
camp will offer, Hack said the
program will fuse together
the academics of engineering
with fun, traditional summer camp activities, such as
zip-lining and tubing.
Nobody has really blended those two together, Hack
said. If you spend more time
having real fun, then you
make the association that engineering and fun go together, so thats the whole premise
of where we started.
Soto said he attended an academic summer engineering
camp when he was a teenager
and wasnt happy with what
he got out of it.
I just found that there was
an issue with how a lot of
[other engineering camps]
were run and structured, he
said. What were trying to do
is fix that problem and give
children another avenue to
be exposed to and inspired to
be an engineer.
Soto said the idea came
about when he was talking
with his parents about
his camp experience. He
bounced the idea of a new
engineering camp off of
Hack.
I will forever remember
that day, even if [Imagineer-

ing is] a total failure, because

at that moment, I finally
convinced myself that I was
capable of being an entrepreneur, and its a really cool
feeling, Hack said.
Last September, the partners incorporated Imagineering Youth Camps in
Delaware, which means they
can legally conduct business.
Hack said they chose Delaware because its known for
tax benefits and is a common
place to incorporate.
When we received the official articles of incorporation,
that was awesome, and then
also getting business cards
and shirts with our logo designed was rewarding, Soto
said.
Hack said the duo has also
decided on other factors,
such as where to host the
camp and how many campers to have each week. They
decided on California for
their first camps largely because of its popularity as a
summer camp location and
the weather. Hack said they
will hopefully come to Kansas as their business expands.
Hack said the idea is not
for kids to simply attend
camp and leave, but to stay in
contact afterward to ensure
that the campers are making
progress.
The two said one of the

biggest challenges so far has

been balancing school and
the business.
I think the biggest challenge is not putting off school
for this, but also not putting
this off for school, Hack said.
Although their schedules
dont always align, who they
are and what they want to accomplish do.
We carefully looked at our
personalities, and our interests, and our goals not just
in school, but in life and
we made sure everything
aligned, Hack said.
Soto said any step forward
they take with creating the
camp will be rewarding.
Anytime that we make a
step of progress, whether its
tiny or massive, its rewarding
to know were getting somewhere, were getting something done, and were actually
doing something, Soto said.
Hack said hes most excited
about inspiring kids to become engineers.
We get to be involved in
having a serious impact on
kids lives and for me thats
the whole thing, Hack said.
If its only one kid that becomes an engineer, you have
impacted him for the rest of
his life and I think thats why
were both in it.

THE DAILY DEBATE

Who should win the Wooden Player of the Year?

Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes

MONTREZL HARRELL
The Wooden Award is an
honor that doesnt reward
just the nations top scorers; it
rewards the most complete and
well-rounded basketball players
in all of college basketball.
The mark of a great all-around
basketball player is not merely
the ability to score points, but
the ability to rebound and assist, to be a lockdown defender,
to come up clutch in wins and
fight hard in losses. No athlete
in the country exhibits the
all around qualities of a great
basketball player better than
Louisvilles Montrezl Harrell.
The man with a funny name
is anything but a joke on the
court: He accounts for 19
percent of his teams total
points, 21 percent of his teams
total rebounds, 19 percent
of his teams total blocks and
10 percent of his teams total
steals. Bear in mind Louisville
is a team that has a rotation of
at least 10 guys per game that
relies on one man for almost
a quarter of their offense and
work on the glass.
Louisville is not a very good
team they have average
talent at best and it plays in
the second best conference in

the country. They have signature wins this season against

powerhouses Minnesota, Ohio
State and North Carolina. Harrell dropped a season-high 30
against Minnesota, 13 against
Ohio State and 22 against
North Carolina.
In fact, hes only been held to
single-digit points three times,
and in those games he took
fewer than 10 shots, grabbed at
least five rebounds and came up
with a steal.
Thats evidence of a guy who
understands when his team
needs him to be a scorer and

as well as be a bruiser down

low; hes incredibly difficult to
guard. He has a keen awareness
of the ball on defense which
accounts for his 1.2 blocks per
game and he excels at selecting his shot. He has never shot
below 58 percent from the field
for the season in his career.

out of Whitney Young in

scored in double digits
in all 21 games so far this
season. Also in these 21

double doubles and four
triple doubles.

THE MORNING BREW

Jayhawks outperform Wildcats in Sunflower Showdown

In Saturdays Sunflower Showdown,
the No. 9 Jayhawks came out and
torched the Kansas State Wildcats in
the first few minutes of the game and
never let them have a chance from
there.
Kansas started out with a 20-5 run
thanks to transition play and a firm
defense. As a team, the Wildcats shot a
horrendous 33 percent from the field
on 60 shots, while the Jayhawks shot
44.8 percent. Kansas persistent defense
led it to victory with the team collecting seven steals and seven blocks.
Four of those blocks came from the
hustle of Kansas sophomore guard
Wayne Selden Jr. One of his blocks
came in the first half when Selden sent
Kansas State sophomore guard Marcus
Fosters layup into the stands. Selden
not only gave the Jayhawks defensive
intensity, but also spread the floor with
nine points from beyond the arc.

Sean Collins
@seanzie_3

Unlike most games this season, the

Kansas offense was not able to run
through sophomore guard Frank Mason III, who shot 3-of-12 from the field
(0-of-4 from three-point range). Junior
forward Perry Ellis led the Jayhawks
with 16 points and 12 rebounds, including an alley-oop dunk from junior
forward Jamari Traylor.
Along with Selden and Ellis, soph-

omore guard Brannen Greene

had another big game for the
Jayhawks with 11 points, including 3-for-4 shooting beyond
the arc. Freshman guard Kelly
Oubre Jr. also gave the Jayhawks
eight points and nine rebounds
on the day.
The Wildcats were simply
outplayed on both sides of the
basketball. On offense they couldnt
buy a bucket and had a hard time
distributing, only recording nine assists
on the game. Along with the shooting
percentage, the Wildcats struggled
from the free-throw line with 12-of-21
free throws. Kansas State senior forward Nino Williams only contributed
four points on seven shots. Williams
has averaged nearly 12 points a game
but couldnt find his stroke on Saturday.
Foster and senior forward Thomas
Gipson scored 19 points each, making

up two-thirds of
Kansas States total
score for the night.
Gipson was 7-of-13
shooting along with
seven rebounds.
Despite the strong
performance from the
Jayhawks on both sides
of the basketball, the two
freshmen, forward Cliff Alexander and guard Devonte Graham,
struggled coming off the bench with a
combined three points on 1-of-6 shots.
At the end of the second half the
Jayhawks prevented any sort of
comeback from Kansas State, playing
great defense and keeping the Wildcats
from getting within single digits. The
Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 68-57,
and after defeating Iowa State 89-76,
are now 19-3 (8-1) in the Big 12.

BASKETBALL

REWIND
HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
The Cyclones got off to a quick start, leading the Jayhawks 15-9 at the midway point, but things changed when coach Bill Self sent in sophomore guard
Brannen Greene. Greene knocked down a couple of three-point baskets, and the
Jayhawks turned it around, outscoring the Cyclones by 13 points over the rest
of the half, despite sophomore guards Frank Mason III, Wayne Selden Jr. and junior forward Jamari Traylor combining for just three points on 1-of-9 shooting.
2ND HALF
The second half was all about Mason and Selden, who combined for 31 of the
Jayhawks 54 points in the final period. The two shot a combined 11-of-15 from
the field over the final period, adding three rebounds and three assists, as the
Jayhawks improved to 19-3 on the year, and 8-1 in Big 12 play.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Without a doubt, Wayne Selden Jr. was the player of the game for
the Jayhawks. He scored 19 of his 20 points in the second half,
while knocking down a game career-high five three-point field
goals. For the second straight game, Selden sparked the team
in the second half, playing a team-high 19 minutes over the
final period.

BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
Senior guard Frank Mason III drives toward the basket in Monday nights game against Iowa State. Mason scored 12
points in the 89-76 victory against the Cyclones.

GAME TO FORGET
Jamari Traylor struggled a bit against Iowa State, playing
just 18 minutes, the lowest total of any starter. Traylor had
the second-highest number of turnovers on the team, but it
wasnt all bad for the junior, as he did make two of his three
field goal attempts.

UNSUNG HERO
Frank Mason seemed to fly under the radar, but his final
stat-line was anything but quiet. The sophomore scored 12
points, adding eight assists, five rebounds and two steals,
while extending his streak of double-digit scoring games
to 19. After the game, Iowa State head coach Fred Hoiberg
said Mason had been unbelievable on the year, although
Mason said he felt he could still get a lot better.

Beaty eyes Texas
as base for
recruiting

ACC BASKETBALL

FIELDHOUSE MAGIC
Kansas defeats Iowa State 89-76

BEN FELDERSTEIN
@Ben_Felderstein

Matt Corte

@Corte_UDK

ansas football head

coach David Beaty
is on a mission right

now.
Not one that features a James
Bond like car chase or Jason
Bourne taking down a whole
agency. This mission trumps
those fictional stories and then
some.
Rebuilding the Kansas
football program is a tall task,
but luckily the Jayhawks have a
coach who is crazy enough to
believe he can.
From Beatys first day on
December 5th to now, the
former Texas A&M wide
receivers coach and recruiting
coordinator has blazed a trail
in recruiting. Just under two
months into his tenure, Beaty
has already signed 17 players
to national letters of intent.
What does this impressive
number of recruits mean? Not
a whole bunch, at least for now.
Former coach Charlie Weis
was doing much of the same,
but whats different in Beatys
case is where the majority of
players are coming from.
Texas has been known to
produce some of the best football players in the nation, and
with Beatys footprint all over
that state as well as his knack
for recruiting, hes taking
advantage.
Of the 17 recruits that Beaty
has signed, 14 have come from
the longhorn state alone.
While none have the prestige
of a four- or five-star recruit,
12 of them have a grade of
three stars according to ESPN,
which could serve as a catalyst
to acquire even better players
in the future.
Where Beaty is taking advantage though isnt with prized
high school players, but rather,
hes signing highly valued
JUCO players.
Commits DAndre Banks and
Jayson Rhodes are ranked as
top ten JUCO offensive guards,
while Keaun Kinner and
Brandon Stewart are top ten
JUCO players at the running
back and cornerback positions,
respectively.
Oh and before you ask, yes,
theyre all from Texas.
It is worth noting that
because there are less JUCO
players than high school
players, it is easier to be ranked
higher as a JUCO player.
However, theres only three
high school recruits coming
to Kansas ranked in the top
100 of their positions, which
means a healthy percentage
of Jayhawk Freshman football
players wont be quite ready to
contribute on every down.
For the JUCO commits, this
translates into a host of them
undoubtedly progressing their
way near the top of depth
charts next fall, making these
players all the more important.
Of course all this recruiting
hoopla may fall on deaf ears
of countless Jayhawks fans,
and I dont blame them for not
caring. But after seeing only
twelve wins in the past five
years Beatys aggressive Texas recruiting is enough to give
some football fans hope.

Duke womens basketball beats Louisville 66-58 | PAGE 8

With junior forward Perry

Ellis trailing behind, sophomore point guard Frank Mason III led Kansas fast break
up the floor with 8:40 to play
in the first half. Mason turned
around and found Ellis for the
easy three on the fast break
to bring Kansas within one
point. The Jayhawks eventually came out on top of a hard
fought conference matchup,
89-76.
The Jayhawks came out of
the gate sluggish in the first
half, failing to reach double-digits in the first 10 minutes. Iowa State hit consecutive three-pointers on its first
two baskets.
As the Jayhawks were down
seven with 9:20 to play in the
first half, they received a boost
from a familiar face. Entering
the game shooting 62 percent
from beyond the arc in Big 12
play, two three-pointers from
sophomore guard Brannen
Greene found Kansas right
back in it.
Brannen hit some big shots
for us, coach Bill Self said.
Theres been a lot of games
where he has bailed us out
when he have no momentum.
With seven minutes to go
in the half, a Greene free
throw put the Jayhawks on
top for the first time since the
opening possession. Freshman Kelly Oubre Jr. found
his range from deep as well,
connecting on consecutive
three-pointers to give Kansas
a five-point lead.
Iowa State guard Monte
Morris came into the game
leading the Big 12 in assists
per game, but struggled in the
half with three assists and two
turnovers. Mason, his counterpart, recorded seven assists
and only one turnover as Kansas took a 35-28 lead into the
half.
Mason helped Kansas run
the floor with ease against the
Cyclones Monday night as the

Jayhawks outscored the Cyclones 14-12 on the fast break.

Kansas transition game was
its downfall against Iowa State
earlier this season in Ames
when the Cyclones outscored
the Jayhawks 21-10 on the fast
break.
We werent as committed to running as we were in
Ames, Iowa State coach Fred
Hoiberg said. They defended
it well.
Sophomore guard Wayne
Selden Jr. led the Jayhawks,
storming out of the locker
room with eight of Kansas
first 12 points in the first five
minutes of the half. Selden
helped Kansas extend its lead
to 15 with 15:24 left.
My teammates found me
in open spots, Selden said.
I remained confident. Before
I hit the three, I knew it was
going in.
The Cyclones began chipping away at the Jayhawks
lead behind the strength
of forward Georges Niang.
Niang finished the game with
24 points on 9-of-18 shooting
from the field. While Kansas
never lost the lead since taking it, it struggled with burying Iowa State for most of the
night.
Selden continued to keep
the Cyclones at bay, covering
on two more three-pointers,
extending Kansas lead to 16
with 9:13 to play in the game.
As time wound down, Iowa
States full-court pressure was
giving Kansas trouble getting
the ball across half-court.
When [Selden] is playing
well, theyre tough to stop,
Niang said. When they shoot
the way they did, theyre hard
to guard.
Wayne is such a key, Self
said. His success makes us
much harder to guard.
We were better tonight. They
knew we had to take care of
business tonight. That would
have been three losses in a
row.
Masons stellar play continued to outperform Morris.

BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
Freshman guard Kelly Oubre Jr. dunks during the Iowa State game on Monday night. Oubre scored 16 points in the
game, his highest since playing Oklahoma on Jan. 19. Kansas beat the Cyclones 89-76.

On top of his league-leading

assist totals, Morris came into
the contest leading the nation
in assist to turnover ratio.
Mason extended his streak
to 19 straight games with
more than 10 points more
than two assists, posting
12 points and eight assists

Monday. Morris recorded 12

points and five assists, but
added four turnovers two
more than Mason.
I thought [Mason] played
a good floor game, Self said
He played a great game
against Morris.

and a 20-point outing from

Selden, Kansas extended its
lead over Iowa State in the Big

Three-point shooting holds off Iowa State

BLAIR SHEADE
@realblairsheady

The Jayhawks took a page

out of the Cyclones playbook
on Monday night.
Iowa State leads the Big 12 in
three-pointers, averaging over
12 per game, but it was Kansas three-point shooting that
led the Jayhawks to an 89-76
win against its conference rival.
I think one thing is that
theyre shooting a lot better
than they have, Iowa State
coach Fred Hoiberg said.
When theyre shooting the
ball like that, its hard to stop.
Kansas
only
hit
10
three-pointers in the contest,
but it was the timing of each
one that was crucial. When
the Jayhawks were down, a
three-pointer gave them momentum. When Iowa State
was surging back, a Kansas
three-pointer padded the lead.
For us to make three more
shots and the same attempts,
that was big for us, Kansas
coach Bill Self said.
As Iowa State was pacing
ahead, up seven with 15 minutes left in the first half, the
Kansas three-pointers started
to fall.
In the past, Self has laud-

ed sophomore guard Brannen Greene for bailing out

the team with a big shot.
When Kansas was down seven in the first half, a Greene
three-pointer seemed to kick
start the team.
The next possession, junior

forward Perry Ellis hit his

12th three-pointer of the season, a career high for Ellis.
After the Ellis three-pointer,
Kansas was down by only
one. The crowd knew it was
Kansas time to take over, and
thats exactly what happened.

Before the takeover, Iowa

State junior forward Georges
Niang extended the one-point
lead to three when he scored
his first of nine field goals.
Niang scored a game-high 24
points.
Another Greene three-pointer ignited the takeover, his
second and last three-pointer. With seven minutes left in
the first half, Kansas held its
first lead since the start of the
game, but this time they didnt
let it go.
Greene is on a hot streak
and he was really shooting it
when he made those tough
threes it was tough to get
going after that, Niang said.
The three-point frenzy didnt
stop there. Freshman guard
Kelly Oubre Jr. hit back-toback three-pointers to close
the half and give Kansas a 3528 lead.
The second half was the same
story but different characters.
The leader of the three-point
parade in the second half was
sophomore guard Wayne
Selden Jr., who hit five of his
six three-point-attempts and
scored 19 of his 20 points in
the second half. Selden was
one point shy of tying his season-high.
Selden was held to one point

in the first half, but that didnt

break his confidence. He said
when he isnt shooting well
early, the last thing he would
think about was to pass up on
open shots.
My teammates found me,
that was the biggest thing,
Selden said. I remained confident and just knew that my
next three-pointer was going
to go in.
The Jayhawks started the
second half on a 12-6 run,
which was led by Selden and
his three-point shooting.
Seldens first three-point attempt was good, and he said
after that made basket, he
knew he was feeling it. After
that first three-pointer, Selden
went on to score the next eight
points for the Jayhawks and
gave Kansas a solid 49-34 lead.
Three-pointers were the key
to the Monday night win, and
it was a collective effort. The
Jayhawks not only outshot
the number one three-point
shooting team in the Big 12,
but also held Iowa State to a
season-low seven three-pointers and for the Jayhawks that
was just as important as making the threes.
