Student sanctions vary for the same

sexual harassment policy violations
MIRANDA DAVIS
EMMA LEGAULT
@kansannews
Despite violating the same

University policies against
sexual harassment, student
violators were given different punishments. Some were
expelled, some were suspended and some were put
on probation. Others were
given warnings, told to take
alcohol education classes or
write reflection papers.
The punishments were included in copies of the 32
letters sent by the University
to students who violated the
sexual harassment policy
between May 2012 and December 2014.
The University released
copies of the letters to the
Kansan after the newspaper
hired a lawyer and requested the documents under the
Kansas Open Records Act.
However, the University
redacted the letters heavily
and would not provide information that could show
whether the punishments
were applied consistently.
University lawyers said releasing more details would
invade students privacy.
In the letters, the University typically cited two
different policy violations
by the student violators:
the sexual harassment policy and article 22(A) of the
Code of Student Rights and
Responsibilities. The letters
describe article 22(A) as a
violation against persons,
which includes threatening
the physical health, welfare
and safety of another person, including acts of sexual
assault.
However, in the full version
of the student code that can
be found on the Universitys
website, sub-section (A) of
article 22 doesnt exist. The
rule cited in the letters closely matches article 19(A).
University officials including Vice Provost Tammara
Durham, Assistant Vice
Provost Jane Tuttle and KU
News Service Director Erinn
Barcomb-Peterson declined
to provide clarification on
the policy.
The University redacted
the specific sub-violation
within the sexual harassment policy. The policy lists
eight degrees of sexual harassment, from unwelcome
efforts to develop a romantic
or sexual relationship to sexual violence.
Also missing were details
such as the gender of violators and the location or
times of incidents, which is
information the Kansan has
asked for repeatedly.
In February, the University posted a list online of the
punishments in the 32 cases,
in response to a KORA request the paper filed.
The letters provide some
additional information on
those cases.
What isnt clear from the
documents is why there is
a difference in punishments
for the same policy violations. Because the University redacted details of the
cases, it appears these cases
Index
OPINION 4A
A&F 5A
have different punishments

for the same violations.
Max Kautsch, the Kansans
lawyer, said because the University did not disclose other
case facts, its unclear if the
violations and sanctions are
fair in all cases.
The University may not
have been obligated by law
to disclose any more records
than were in fact disclosed,
Kautsch said. Although
those disclosures included
reference to the student code
sections that were allegedly
violated in each case, they
did not include the facts or
allegations that led to the
sanctions that were ultimately imposed. As such, its
very difficult to determine
whether or not sanctions
were imposed consistently,
especially in instances where
one student who appears to
have committed the same violation as another was sanctioned differently.
The punishments for the 32
violators included eight expulsions, seven suspensions
and 13 probations. Another
two students were given educational sanctions and two
were issued warnings.
Along with overall punishments, some student violators were given additional
sanctions.
Ten of the violators were
banned from housing and
nine had to complete some
type of alcohol course as
part of the punishments levied by the University. Ten
had to take a course with either the Emily Taylor Center
or the Office of Institutional
Opportunity and Access on
sexual violence, healthy relationships and/or consent.
Differences also were evident among students who
received the same general
level of punishment. Of the
eight students expelled, two
were eligible for readmission to the University after
a specified time period or
when the victim leaves campus. The other six were not
eligible for readmission, but
there is no indication why
within the non-redacted
portions of the records.
The Kansan requested the
records as part of its ongoing efforts to file Kansas
Open Records Act requests
to shed light on the process
the University uses to adjudicate sexual assaults.
In a letter with the release
of the documents, the University said providing more
information would compromise the identity of the students involved.
Release of these documents would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and
would discourage future victims and witnesses from reporting sexual assaults and
cooperating with investigations, the letter from University lawyer Mike Leitch
said.
When asked for additional
clarifications, Barcomb-Peterson said the letter represents the Universitys final
response on the matter.

@RileyMortensen
Nearly 350 students, faculty

and members of the public,
including the Universitys
football team, attended a
showing of The Hunting
Ground on Tuesday night
in the Woodruff Auditorium.
The movie gave viewers a
close-up look at rape on college campuses and the lack of
action from administration.
The film, which was
screened at the Sundance
Film Festival earlier this year,
opens with the notion of college as a place filled with opportunities and engagement,
but quickly zeros in on the
fact that one in five women
will be sexually assaulted
during their college careers
and many incidents go unreported.
If you remember nothing
else from tonight, I want you
to remember at the University of Kansas, you report sexual assault to the Office of Institutional Opportunity and
Access, IOA, said Jane Tuttle, assistant vice provost for
students, after the screening.
Throughout the hour-and45-minute documentary, you
see dozens of women and a
few men share their stories of
being sexually assaulted and
reporting to their campuses
only to find authorities blame
victims and do little in the
way of sanctioning.
My rape was bad, but the
way I was treated was worse,
said one survivor in the film.

Universities like Stanford,
Harvard, MIT, Berkeley,
Florida State University and
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are a few
of the schools the film singles
out.
Fraternities and university
sports teams were also closely examined as being major
contributors, but rarely punished by administrators.
My rape was bad, but

the way I was treated was
worse.
RAPE SURVIVOR
The Hunting Ground
According to the film, less

than 4 percent of college
students are athletes, but
student athletes commit 19
percent of sexual assaults on
campus.
Forensic Specialist David
Lisak, who spoke at the University earlier this month,
also appears in the film, as
does former Syracuse football star Don McPherson,
who spoke at the University
in 2011 during National Hazing Prevention Week.
The Hunting Ground
also pointed out the growing
list of colleges being investigated by the U.S. Department
of Educations Office for Civil
Rights for violations when
handling sexual assault cases under the gender equity

law of Title IX. Currently, 94
colleges are being investigated, including the University
of Kansas and Kansas State
University.
Following the screening,
a short discussion unfolded
where audience members
could ask questions of administrators from the Office
of Institutional Opportunity
and Access, Student Affairs,
Student Housing, The Universitys Public Safety Office
and the Lawrence Police Department.
One audience member
asked about the number
of sexual assaults reported
last year at the University
compared to the number of
expulsions. IOA Executive
Director Jane McQueeny
said over the last two academic years there have been
eight expulsions and in the
last year IOA had about 120
reports of sexual violence,
which is a broad category
including stalking, dating
violence, domestic violence,
sexual battery and rape. McQueeny also said some of
those reports have not been
recorded yet, so there is potential for the number to increase.
It just shows that theres a
lot of work that needs to be
done nationwide for sure, so
it was negative, but I think its
a very good start that needs
to be put out everywhere,
Kate Kasper, a junior from
Partly cloudy with a 10 percent

chance of rain. Wind SSW at 18 mph.
Belle Plaine, Minn., said.

Kasper, who came to watch
the film with a few of her
friends, said she was disappointed with the number of
expulsions compared to reports at the University.
Thats better statistics than
other schools, but its still
bad, Kasper said, especially knowing the punishments
that theyve given out, like a
paper, thats not OK. Not acceptable.
Although the films overall tone focused on the lack
of action by universities,
throughout the movie viewers also follow the stories of
activists like Annie Clark
and Andrea Pino, who were
both raped at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill several years apart, but
found each other and formed
a strong friendship. The
women began to travel across
the country helping victims
from other universities file
Title IX complaints.
The film ended with the
message, Students, parents,
faculty, alumni together
we can stop this epidemic.
Tuttle encouraged University students to report sexual
assault to IOA.
They will take your story, they will listen to you,
because at the University of
Kansas, we do believe you
when you tell us that you
were sexually assaulted, Tuttle said.

San Diego man recovering after

sea lion yanked him overboard
JULIE WATSON
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO Dan Carlin's

wife told him to smile for a picture on their 29-foot boat as he
held up one of the yellowtail
fish they had caught that day.
Then a sea lion leaped 7 feet out
of the water, bit into his hand
and yanked him overboard.
The animal, weighing hundreds of pounds, smashed
the 62-year-old San Diego
accountant against the boat's
side and sent his legs flying into
the air like a rag doll's before it
dragged him some 20 feet underwater, Carlin said Wednesday, more than three weeks
into his recovery after the April
5 incident.
Underwater, the sea lion
whipped Carlin side to side.
"After 15 seconds, I thought
I was going to die," Carlin said
in an interview with The Associated Press. "I continued to
struggle, but thought this is the
way I was going to die. It was
unbelievable to me."
Then, as quickly as the attack
happened, Carlin was released.
He swam toward the surface as
the sea lion bit his foot, puncturing a bone.
He managed to make his way
back to his boat that was in a
bay off San Diego. He and his
wife moved it closer to land
while his hand gushed blood
and he struggled to breathe because of his battered chest. At
one point, Carlin said, he lost
his vision.
Carlin spent two days in the
hospital. The gash on his hand
required 20 stitches.
Carlin hopes his hand will
have healed enough so he can
go back out fishing next week.

diver and fisherman, Carlin

said he and his wife, Trish

Carlin, always took precautions
to properly dispose of any guts
or carcasses to ensure they did
not go in the water.
Still, his experience shows just
how dangerous sea lions can
be, despite the fact that people
often do not fear them, Carlin
said.
"So many times, you see videos of cute seals, sea lions, but
I'm sharing what happened to
me because I want parents to
realize these are wild aggressive animals that can take you
down," he said. "They should
be given a wide berth. At least
a small child should do that,
but also just about anybody
should."

1920s film on Native Americans gets release date

DAVID WARREN
Associated Press
DALLAS A long-lost silent

film admired by historians as
a rare visual account of Native
American customs is being released after a private detective in
North Carolina stumbled across
a damaged copy.
The Daughter of Dawn
first screened in Los Angeles
in 1920 features a large cast
of Comanche and Kiowa people and shows scenes of buffalo
hunting and ceremonial dances obscured by time. The copy,
discovered more than a decade
ago, has been restored and was
screened in Texas this week,
ahead of its commercial release
later this year.
We were just so stunned that
it existed, said Jeff Moore, a
project director for the Oklahoma Historical Society, which
purchased reels of the film from
the detective in 2007.
The delicate restoration work
took years, and an orchestral
score was completed in 2012.
A year later the Library of Congress added the movie to its National Film Registry, describing
the work as a fascinating example of the daringly unexpected
topics and scope showcased by
the best regional, independent
filmmaking during the silent
era. ...
The year after the movie was
first screened, a fire destroyed
the Dallas warehouse where
the small Texas Film Co., which
produced The Daughter of
Dawn, stored most of its work.
Somehow, a copy later ended
up in the care of a North Carolina resident, who offered five nitrate celluloid reels to the private
detective as payment in an unrelated matter, Milestone Film
owner Dennis Doros said.
The detective then sold the
reels of the movie shot in the

Wichita Mountains in southwestern Oklahoma to the
Oklahoma Historical Society for
more than $5,000 before Milestone was recruited as the distributor. The historical society
retains ownership of the original nitrate film, which is being
stored at the Pickford Center
for Motion Picture Study in Los
Angeles.
The village scenes, the

hunting scenes all look very
accurate. Its a little bit Hollywood-ed up. ... But the fact
that they used native actors
was groundbreaking, really
quite astonishing.
MICHAEL GRAUER
Panhandle-Plains Historical
Museum employee
Its a really compelling story

for film restoration, Doros said.
Theres still hope for lost films.
How many times do you get to
premiere a film 95 years after its
production?
An initial screening of the
87-minute,
black-and-white
film was held this week at an
Amarillo, Texas, library.
The village scenes, the hunting scenes all look very accurate, Michael Grauer with the
Panhandle-Plains
Historical
Museum told the Amarillo
Globe-News. Its a little bit Hollywood-ed up. ... But the fact
that they used native actors was
groundbreaking, really quite astonishing.

OKLAHOMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Members of an all Comanche and Kiowa cast are on the set of The Daughter of Dawn, in the Wichita Mountains near Lawton, Okla., in 1920. The long-lost
silent film admired by historians as a rare visual account of Native American customs is being released after a private detective in North Carolina stumbled
across a damaged copy. The copy, discovered more than a decade ago, has been restored and was screened in Texas this week, ahead of its commercial release
later this year.
traditions, are children of legendary Comanche chief Quanah Parker, whose exploits were
widely recounted on the frontier.
Author S.C. Gwynne, whose
book Empire of the Summer Moon accounted the rise
and fall of the Comanche, said
during his research he came
across only one film germane
to the tribe, a two-reeler western from 1911 called The Bank
Robbery in which Parker had a
role.
RELEASE
The film will be released on
DVD and Blu-ray, and made
available through online
outlets.
I would think that a film featuring only Native Americans
would possibly be unique, he
said. Who at that time only
made a film featuring Native
Americans? That, to me, is
something of great rarity.

Moore said the Oklahoma Historical Society had known about
the film because years ago it had
obtained the works of a photographer who was on the movie
set, but it was thought the film
was lost.
This is so visually interesting
and it is very much an Oklahoma story because you have two
of the premier tribes in the state,
and then you have the horse culture, he said. Its so indicative of
the southern plains.

Bryan Vizzini, an associate
professor of history at West Texas A&M University, said The
Daughter of Dawn was a striking departure from the racial
stereotypes found in films from
that time, such as D.W. Griffiths
The Birth of a Nation.
And heres this small independent film company that gets it
right, Vizzini said. Its a very
un-Hollywood kind of experience.

lessons. Unfortunately, the
way alcohol education is
presented is not efficient.
Throughout my time in
school I have attended three
required sessions, along with
completing the AlcoholEdu
online course. These sessions
discussed the dangers of
using alcohol irresponsibly
through different speakers,
PowerPoints and several
videos of college students
talking about the pressure
they feel to drink alcohol. But
behind these presentations,
the information is essentially
all the same.
Ive seen pictures of red
Solo Cups on bar graphs
representing how much
is too much. Ive been
exposed to charts that show
how X amount of liquor will
affect a female and how the
same amount affects a male.
Throwing numbers and
statistics on a screen is not an
efficient way to teach college
students about alcohol use.
On the off chance students
remember
how
many
ounces of liquor they have
consumed, it is ridiculous to
expect them to take the time
to find the total to decide

if they have had enough
to drink. Typically, where
there is alcohol, there will be
varying distractions. Because
of this, adding up how much
one has consumed can
easily be forgotten. Math
can be difficult sober, but
calculating while drunk is
even more challenging.
The International Center
for
Alcohol
Policies
published an article on the
effectiveness of alcohol
education. It states, Alcohol
education programs need to
be realistic, corresponding
to the needs of those whom
they are intended to target,
with measurable goals and
evaluation criteria built into
the program design.
Teaching students life skills,
such as firm decision-making
and how to communicate
effectively when they do or
do not want to do something,
will not only aid in safe
alcohol consumption, but
also in many other areas of
their adult lives.
Instead of pounding blood
alcohol content figures into
our brains, we should have
a more personal approach.
Having speakers closer to the
age of the audience discuss
their personal experiences
with alcohol could give
a realistic approach that
would also allow students to
connect with the presenter.
Displaying numbers and
graphs in appealing designs
is not the best way to educate
college students on how
to drink safely. Instead,
teaching effective decisionmaking and incorporating a
more personal approach for
the audience would pave the
way for alcohol education
to no longer be seen as a
chore but as an enlightening
experience.

how they conduct themselves

take this advice: Watch what

popped up about a woman
losing her new daycare job
hours before her first day, as
reported by Mirror. She had
posted on her Facebook, I
start my new job today, but
I absolutely hate working at
day care. She also stated that
she hates kids even though
she has one of her own. After
catching wind of the post, her
boss fired her before she had
the chance to come in.
Its stories like these that
make me shake my head.

According to Jobvite, a 2014 survey found that 93 percent of employers use or plan to use social media a tool to review potential employees.
Did the woman ever think

her employer would see this
post? No. But that doesnt
mean employers cant, and in
her case, they did.
This is the problem with
social media. It makes us
think we are invincible
and that we wont be held
accountable for what goes

you land a job, you could
easily lose it the moment an

KU Unity hip-hop group to hold clinic

RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
Tonight, KU Unity is
hosting its Hip-Hop Clinic,
a workshop in which the crew
will teach visitors one of the
routines. The event is from
8-9:30 p.m. at Dance Hues
Studio, and costs $5 to attend.
The studio is located at 1025 N.
3rd St. #109 in Lawrence.
Were teaching a routine
for anyone in the Lawrence
community that wants to come,
and its also to get the style and
the culture out there, Justis
said.
Unity is also going to
Lawrence High School on
Friday to perform and provide
a workshop for students during
the day.
Unity is working to spread
hip-hop at the University
and across the Midwest with
its highly skilled, fast-paced
dancing.
Originally created by Eve
Bradley in 1995, KU Unity
is a hip-hop dance group at
the University that focuses on
uniting the elements of hip-hop
and spreading the art of hiphop.
The biggest thing that we
stand for would be [that] were
founded and created to bring all
the hip-hop elements together
and get different diverse people
and styles together and to
spread it in the Midwest and
at KU, said Mackenzie Justis,
a senior from Shawnee and
president of KU Unity.
On April 11, Unity performed
at its first competition in years.
The group was accepted into
at the ninth annual Dance
XXXplosion
competition
in Waynesville, Mo., where
Unity performed a mixture
of different types of hip-hop
dance. Unity did not win the
competition, but that didnt
affect their spirits.

City and the vice president of

KU Unity is a University hip-hop group that focuses on spreading the art across Kansas and the Midwest. Tonight, it hosts its Hip-Hop Clinic at Dance
Hues Studio, 1025 N. 3rd St. #109, from 8-9:30 p.m.
KU Unity, said they were still

happy with the experience.
We were the first Kansas
team to go, and what we gained
from it and what we showed
to the audience was way more
than winning a trophy. We let
the dancing speak for itself,
Nguyen said.
Justis said they surprised
everyone as the only Kansas
team.
We were the only team from
Kansas, so we just represented
Kansas and KU, and they
absolutely loved it, and we got
a lot of compliments at the
end, she said. They said we
brought something else to the
competition.
Justis and Nguyen said a
challenge that Unity has been
working to solve is improving
their
choreography
and
keeping it interesting for the
audience throughout the whole
performance.
I really try to fit the

choreography to fit the
audience, Justis said, so they
dont get bored during the part
of a dance.
Nguyen said the added stress
of work and school is another
challenge in itself.
When youre in school
and working as well, and also
spreading what hip-hop is all
about, it gets a little crazy, she
said. Its all about balance.
Although originally joining
to continue pursuing her
passion for dance, Justis said
her inspiration behind being
a part of Unity has changed
since becoming president of the
group.
My view is to continue to
keep the legacy of the team,
to keep it going and [to] really
make sure that everyone is
benefiting from the team and
their experience. Thats really
important to me, she said.
She also said she loves being

part of a team.
Theres not one favorite
part. We wouldnt be a team
without each other, she said.
Every single little part the
communication
between
everyone, the performances,
the responses we get I dont
have a favorite part.
Nguyen said being a part of
Unity is a unique experience.
I love performing, I cant
describe it. But when Im
performing it on stage, its
surreal. Theres no rules in
hip-hop, which makes you feel
so much more free, she said.
As for the team, I want them
to gain leadership roles and
experiences, and just go out and
have those experience inspire
their future and their career.
I hope what they gain here
will really further them into
whatever field they go into.
Nguyens favorite aspect of
being part of the group is the

lessons shes gained from being
a part of it.
If it werent for Unity, I
wouldnt know how to deal
with 11 different female
personalities; I wouldnt know
how to communicate with
them, Nguyen said. I would
never be self-disciplined with
my mind. If it werent for Unity,
we wouldnt be the people we
are today.
Throughout all of the
performances,
competitions
and late night practice sessions,
Justis said, above all, one thing
is for certain regarding KU
Unity:
Were really passionate
about it. We are responsible
for everything we do, she said.
Not just us, but our team. We
couldnt do it without our team.
No one can do it alone.

Food Truck Festival to raise money for Just Food

MACKENZIE CLARK
@mclark59
The fusion of savory and

supportive is the primary
intent of the Kansas Food
Truck Festival this Saturday.
For the second year, various
vendors will park in the
Warehouse Arts District for
attendees to sample different
delicacies all while
benefitting the local food bank
Just Food.
We were just overwhelmed
by the success of last year,
said Elizabeth Keever, chief
resource officer of Just Food.
She said she expected around
700 people to attend, but 2,500
showed up.
Because of last years
success, thats allowed us to
grow the event exponentially,
Keever said.
Last year, the event brought
five food trucks to the district,
which is near Eighth and
Pennsylvania streets. This
year, 15 area food trucks and

vendors will attend.
Just Food will also have
a No Food truck on site
to represent the people in
Lawrence who wont have a
meal that evening. Those who
attend can leave donations
there.
Besides the weather festival
organizers are expecting,
timing of the event is key. In
2014, Just Food served 4.9
percent more individuals in
June and July of last year than
in the months of April and
May, according to numbers
from Jeremy Farmer, chief
executive officer of the food
bank.
Our numbers in June and
July are much higher than the
rest of the year, and its a time
where people forget theres
hunger in our community,
Keever said. Its a really
good time for us to make the
community aware of hunger
and let people know that we

still need their help, even in the

summertime.
Keever said there will also be
live performances, including a
quirky, fun sneak preview of
the Lawrence Busker Festival.
The preview will include fireeating, magic, contortionists
and more.
Other performances include
DJ Johnny Quest and the
bands Sharp 9 and Paper
Buffalo.
Tickets are available online
and at some locations around
Lawrence,
including
the
Granada box office and Hy-Vee

stores. Tickets do not include

are free. For more information,

Bud Lights No campaign has rape culture undertones
Katherine Hartley
@kat_hart9
n an attempt to promote
adventure and inspire
consumers to try new
experiences, Bud Light decorated its newest bottles
with the tagline, The perfect beer for removing no
from your vocabulary for

the night.
Before Bud Lights Super
Bowl campaign in February,
the company announced
it was planning to release
a variety of messages on
12-ounce bottles to inspire
consumers to try new experiences.
To say the company missed
the mark with this one could
be an understatement, as
they encourage people who
have been drinking to avoid
the word no.
The campaign originally
started two years ago with
the intent to encourage
drinkers to be up for whatever when drinking their

beer, because you never
know where itll end up.
They promoted the hash tag
#UpForWhatever on Twitter and Instagram, where it
has been used by thousands
of followers.
The marketing message
on the bottle began to gain
attention after it was posted
to Reddit. Since then, users
have been quick to point
out the message could be
taken the wrong way and
have taken to Twitter, bashing the #UpForWhatever
hashtag.
The negative flood of publicity is because, some critics say, the message could be
interpreted as contributing
to rape culture. The Consumerist picked up the story quickly and said, Given
the role that alcohol plays
in many things that would
have been a no without a
night of drinking [...] its
probably not the best idea
for a multinational, multibillion-dollar business like
Bud Lights parent company
AB InBev to publicly acknowledge that its product
can lead users down a path
to stupid consequences.
Bud Light has since responded, apologizing for

the mistake and pulling the
controversial tagline from
the campaign. Bud Light
Anheuser-Busch Vice President Alexander Lambrecht
replied to Adweeks tweet
with a statement, Its clear
that this message missed the
mark, and we regret it. We
would never condone disrespectful or irresponsible
behavior. A full statement
was then released to Buzzfeed.

Daredevil Nik Wallenda walks

giant spinning Ferris wheel
KYLE HIGHTOWER

SUDOKU
CRYPTOQUIP
ORLANDO, Fla. The

performances of daredevil
tightrope
walker
Nik
Wallenda have taken him
between Chicago skyscrapers,
over Niagara Falls and across
a gorge near the Grand
Canyon. He can now add a
spinning Ferris wheel to the
list.
Wallenda
successfully
completed a walk across the
rim of the 400-foot Orlando
Eye
observation
wheel
Wednesday morning in
Florida.
The 36-year-old started his
walk shortly after 8 a.m. atop
the citys newest attraction,
which is set to open to the
public early next month.
Wallenda rode to the top of
the wheel and then navigated
up ladders and around parts
of the structure to begin his
four-minute trek along its
six-inch rim. He stopped at
one point between capsules to
wave to the assembled crowd
of about 100 below.
After his walk, Wallenda
took a moment to capture a
selfie with his phone before
riding down to the ground
atop one of the wheels
capsules.
Were inspiring people
to do greater things, to step
out of their comfort zones,
Wallenda said afterward.
What an amazing feeling it
was up there.
Wednesdays feat came after
one in November, in which
Wallenda made two Chicago
skyscraper crossings on
high wires. Other previous
tightrope walks took him to
the brink of Niagara Falls
in 2012 and across a Grand
Canyon-area gorge in 2013.
A married father of three
children, Wallenda doesnt
take his events lightly. He
said that he prays, thinks
about death, and practices
rigorously while calculating
risks.
Wallenda is the greatgrandson of Karl Wallenda,
who fell to his death during a
tightrope stunt in Puerto Rico
at 73.
Wednesdays walk could
establish a new Guinness Book
record for the greatest walk
at the top of an observation
wheel. But because Guinness
officials werent present, it
wont be an official record
until it is certified by the
organization.
The weather held up for
the walk, though the skies
were cloudy. Wallenda
estimated the wind was
about 20 mph but not
too overwhelming. He
also said the structure
was really wet when he
stepped out on the wheels
surface.
My shoes are soaking
wet, actually, on the bottom
of them, he said.

JOHN RAOUX/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Daredevil performer Nik Wallenda waves during a news conference after he walked untethered along the rim of
the Orlando Eye, the citys new, 400-foot observation wheel on Wednesday in Orlando, Fla. Wallenda has previously
walked between two Chicago skyscrapers on high wires, across Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon.
Disney World known for its

shopping and restaurants,
he noticed the Eye in the
initial stages of construction.
But it wasnt until months
later that he was approached
about staging a performance
there. Company idrive360,
which runs the entertainment
complex where the Orlando
Eye is located, paid Wallenda
for the walk, his spokesman,
Brett Gold said. He wouldnt
give the amount.
This is something that
Ive wanted to do for quite
some time. Not necessarily
in Orlando originally, but
Im glad that it panned out
here in my home state, said

Wallenda, a Florida native
and Sarasota resident.
Walendas next planned
feat will be in August, when
he is scheduled to walk a
tightrope at least 10 stories
above the Milwaukee Mile
racetrack on the grounds of
the Wisconsin State Fair. He
said that the walk would be
longest of his career.
And hes thinking even
bigger.
Im working on everything

THE DAILY DEBATE

Who should advance in #FaceoftheStreak?
Ben Felderstein
@Ben_Felderstein
TYSHAWN TAYLOR
hen you think of

legendary players
for legendary
programs, you dont think of
one-and-done guys. You think
about players who were a part
of a program for a while.
You think about a player
who grew up and matured in
his four years playing college
basketball. You think about
a player who got better and
improved his game as the years
went on.
For Kansas, you think of
Tyshawn Taylor.
Taylor started for coach Bill
Self for four years, from 20082012. From Taylors sophomore
year on, he averaged 28
minutes per game. He totaled
1,580 points during his career,
which ranks 37th in Big 12
history.
Taylor also ranks No. 1 on the
Big 12 leaderboards in games
played with 146 and 11th in
minutes played with 3,111. The
only possible way to achieve
these milestones is to stay in

school and play for four years.
While at Kansas, Taylor
was on four Big 12 regular
season championship teams,
including a run to the national
championship game during his
senior season in 2012. Taylor
dramatically improved during
his senior year as he went on
to average 16.6 points and 4.8
assists per game.
Taylor received All-Big 12
rookie honors as he averaged
9.7 points and three assists in
his first year in Lawrence. He
received All-Big 12 first team
honors in 2012 as well as being
named a third-team AllAmerican.
Although Taylor wasnt
always the steadiest hand and
often made Self and the rest
of the Jayhawk faithful a little
nervous when holding the ball,
he still had a 1.5 assist-turnover
ratio throughout his career at
Kansas. Andrew Wiggins may
not have played point guard,
but his ratio was a much less
impressive .68.
Taylor poured his heart
and soul into the program at
Kansas, working and bleeding
in the Fieldhouse for four years.
The same simply cannot be said
for a player who leaves after
their freshman year.
Wiggins may have put
together one of, if not the most,
impressive freshman seasons
Kansas has ever seen, but thats
just it. After his freshman

season, he was gone.
Wiggins took 185 more shots
than Taylor did during his
freshman year but scored only
257 more points than Taylor.
Taylor shot a much more
impressive 56.1 percent from
two-point range his freshman
year compared to Wiggins
49.3 percent. He also shot 20
percentage points higher from
behind the three-point line
than Wiggins did.
What is most important
in this debate is postseason
success. Arguably, Wiggins will
most be remembered for his
four-point performance against
Stanford in Kansas Round of
32 loss in 2014.
But Taylors last game in a
Jayhawk uniform went a bit
differently. Taylor recorded
19 points, three assists and
one steal in Kansas national
championship loss. This
performance was coming off
the heels of a 10-point, nineassist performance in Kansas
Final Four victory against Ohio
State.
To me, the question is simple:
Twenty-nine points and 12
assists in the two games that
matter most, or a four-point
performance in a loss during
the first weekend of the
tournament?
The answer should be even
easier: Tyshawn Taylor.

ANDREW WIGGINS
nly playing a year

for the Jayhawks
shouldnt prevent
the phenomenal one-anddone stud Andrew Wiggins
from moving on against
Tyshawn Taylor. Ignoring the
outrageous scoring abilities
shown in his first year with
the Minnesota Timberwolves
in the NBA, Wiggins sole
season with the Jayhawks is
one of the best Kansas has
had.
In 35 games in crimson
and blue, Wiggins averaged
17.1 points and 5.9 rebounds
per game. Wiggins came
into the college scene as the
No. 1 recruit in the nation
and didnt disappoint, putting
up numbers that earned him
the No. 1 selection in the
2014 NBA draft, as well.
Only in his final season
with the Jayhawks did Taylor
reach 16.6 points per game.
In a minute per game more
than Wiggins, Taylor still
averaged fewer points and

fewer rebounds than the
freshman star.
Despite having a few
rough games scoring the
ball, including a four-point
performance in the Round of
32 against Stanford, Wiggins
was the most consistent
scoring threat for the
Jayhawks.
Mostly remembered in
Kansas loss against West
Virginia, Wiggins made
himself be respected with 41
points on 12-for-18 shooting.
What truly separates
Wiggins from Taylor is his
ability to defend both on the
perimeter and in the post.
On a team with Joel Embiid,
Wiggins was still the best
lockdown defender on the
team, averaging a steal and a
block per game.
Rarely did Wiggins play
hurt the team, which cant be
said for Taylor. Having many
games with struggles taking
over the ball, Taylor earned
a reputation for making
poor decisions with the ball.
Taylor turned the ball over
nearly four times per game,
while Wiggins only turned it
over two times in the same
amount of minutes.
During Taylors years as a
Jayhawk, he was on a team
of veterans and players
who had experience, while
Wiggins was the centerpiece
of a young team with three

starting freshmen and one
senior, Tarik Black, receiving
minutes. Wiggins was able to
do more than Taylor with less
experience.
Following another freshman
stud in Ben McLemore,
Wiggins put on a dunking
clinic and showed athleticism
that Kansas had never seen
before.
WHAT TRULY
SEPARATES WIGGINS
FROM TAYLOR IS HIS
ABILITY TO DEFEND
BOTH ON THE
PERIMETER AND
IN THE POST.
From a raw, athletic
ability standpoint, he can do
some things that Ive never
had a player be able to do
physically, coach Bill Self
told ESPN.
In some cases, Wiggins
took over games, such as his
41-point performance against
West Virginia, but for the
most part he was just flat-out
better than everyone else on
the floor, and that should be
enough for him to move on to
the Final Four.
Heeney will make an NFL team, prove his doubters wrong

CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
Ben Heeney will be on an

NFL team before the end of the
week. Then hell make a final
53-man NFL roster. Then hell
keep proving people wrong.
Heeney, the former Kansas
linebacker who has entered this
weeks NFL Draft, has no doubt
about it.
Even if I dont get drafted,
Im not worried about it,
E!
M
CLE d
Y
REC ay 2n
M
Heeney said, sitting in a sofa at

the Anderson Family Football
Complex. Ill still make a
team.
Heeney probably wont have
to worry about it, though. The
6-foot, 231-pound linebacker
is expected to go in the midrounds. Slept on and bogged
down by many media outlets
through the draft process, hes
trying to defeat a handful of
pre-meditated stereotypes.
Some say hes too slow, too
small. Others say hell only make

a team as a try-hard linebacker.
Some have put him in the same
graveyard that David Beaty is
trying to dig the Kansas football
program from and associate
him with the three-win product
Kansas put on the field last year.
But
after
running
a
4.59-second 40-yard dash and
coming in at the top of the
charts in the 3-cone drill and
60-yard shuttle at the NFL
Combine, hes shown those
stereotypes to be more than

what hell bring to a team.
Theres people that really
like me, and theres people that
think Im a terrible player,
Heeney said. When I went
down to Tampa Bay and visited
with Lovie Smith the first
thing he asked me when I
walked into his office was, Do
you think you need to gain or
lose weight? I said, I think Im
good where Im at, I dont need
to gain or lose. He said, Thats a
perfect answer.
Heeneys size has probably
been his largest pitfall,
according to draft experts.
Nolan Nawrocki, who writes a
book previewing the NFL draft
prospects every year, wrote of
Heeney, Smallish frame with
very short arms and small
hands. Struggles to wrap up and
secure tackles in space.
But Heeney is showing that
the teams final record line over
his time at Kansas isnt a fair
showing of what he brought to

the field.
I never left anything on the
field. It was a shot in the dark
every Saturday were going out
there, Heeney said. For me and
guys like JaCorey (Shepherd) to
go out and play with as much as
heart as we did, knowing there
was slim to no chance that were
going to win the game, week
in and week out, it shows a lot
about our character.

Commentary: Fight of the Century

marred by violent, corrupt pasts
G.J. MELIA
@gjmelia
104-5-2.
That represents the joint
record of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
and Manny Pacquiao, who are
among the best boxers in the
world right now.
However, ahead of their
much-anticipated matchup, the
good versus evil narrative has
started to form, when the fact
of the matter is it couldnt be
further from the truth.
Are
Mayweather
and
Pacquiao two of the best
pound-for-pound boxers the
sport has ever seen? Probably.
Is this welterweight bout
between the two most heralded
boxers on the present earth the
fight of the century? Probably.
Would it be reasonable to call
either a good person? Dont kid
yourself.
From the threatening of
his children to his numerous
episodes of violence towards
women (2002, 2004, 2010,
2011 Im serious, look them
up), it is already well known
that Mayweather has a notso-pleasant past. But what
is not advertised enough is
how Pacquiao is just as bad as
Mayweather.
There is one simple reason for
this: Mayweather lives in the
United States, Pacquiao does
not. The American media can,
and does, cover Mayweather
far more easily and often than
Pacquiao.
As horrible and unpleasant as
the majority of Mayweathers
actions have been, if youre
going to cheer for one of
these abhorrent individuals
come Saturday, cheer for
Mayweather. Im sure youve
all heard these next two cliches
Manny Pacquiao
Floyd Mayweather
an excessive number of times,

but contrary to popular belief,
Mayweather is the lesser of the
two evils.
Since being elected to
Philippine Congress four
years ago, Pacquiao hardly
attended half the congressional
meetings in 2014, according to
the Wall Street Journal. Theres
also a story from The Manila
Times about him bribing
Filipino citizens with money
and insurance cards for votes
door-to-door in 2013. When a
congressman called him out for
it, Pacquiao and his bodyguards
proceeded to beat the man until
they were eventually arrested.
In addition, he has spoken out
against gay marriage, as well
as stood against plans to make
birth control and sex education
more available to Filipina
women.
Sure,
the
beatings
Mayweather has compiled in
his coveted assault resume may
have ruined a few lives, but we
have to look at this in a broader
sense. Pacquiaos reach has the
ability to affect everyone living
in the Philippines. Thats more
than 100 million people.
Now, its possible the
sympathetic side of me needs to
cut them some slack. Pacquiao
dropped out of high school
and left home at 14 because

his mother was unable to
provide for the entire family.
Mayweathers father spent five
years in federal prison on a drug
trafficking conviction. They
both come from incredibly
difficult backgrounds.
Furthermore,
all
moral
desecration aside, I really
do want to emphasize how
truly stupendous these two
hotheads are at what they do.
They are ranked one-and-two
in ESPNs pound-for-pound
boxer rankings. Pacquiao has
a record of 57-5-2 with 38
knockouts. Well more than
half his wins have come by
him leaving his opponent in
the ring unconscious. Hes also
won eight major world titles in
eight different weight divisions.
Mayweather has won 13
major world titles in only five
weight divisions, but I say only
very lightly. If any athlete wins
even five world championships,
its about five more times than
the average pro athlete. To win
13 is about three to four more
times than the great pro athlete.
And hey, get this: Floyd
has fought almost 50 times
in his professional career
(1996-present) and he has
never even lost. 47-0 with 26
wins coming from knockouts.
Thats unbelievable.
When looking at the highlypublicized arguments for who
is the best ever in a sport, the
debate usually centers on past
versus present players. Past
mega-accomplished
players
versus less-successful freakish
athletes.
In basketball you have the
Michael Jordan and Lebron
James debate, with a few other
dominant names brought
up every so often; your Shaq
ONeals,
Kareem
AbdulJabbars and Bill Russells, and
so on. In football theres the
Joe Montanas and Emmitt
Smiths, with a Jerry Rice or
Tom Brady intertwined in the
conversation.
But theres one common trait
shared among all the great:
theyre winners.
Theyre not just winning
games, but championships.
Combined, Mayweather and
Pacquiao have won 104 fights
and lost only five, with 21
major world titles. They will
go down in the history books
on the same line as Mike Tyson
or Muhammad Ali, George
Foreman or Joe Frazier.
Saturdays fight may be
boxings
last
paramount
production. Mayweather is set
to retire sometime this year,
and Pacquiao will do the same
in 2016. But thats the one
positive of their success. The
one good thing these two have
done is somehow keep afloat
the sputtering world of boxing.
Following the end of the
Mike Tyson era (2006), boxing
needed a coverboy. Shortly
thereafter, it got two: Floyd
Mayweather Jr. and Manny
Pacquiao.

BASEBALL FROM PAGE 10A
a 14-inning battle with the
Longhorns only drop the
game and later the series.
Just this past week, the
Jayhawks came out victorious
against in-state rival Wichita
State on April 21 before
heading to West Virginia for
a weekend series. The trend
continued as the Jayhawks
took the series by winning
the first two games and nearly
earning a sweep against the
Mountaineers.
Before betting your lifes
savings on the Jayhawks series
against Baylor this coming
weekend, know the trend isnt
perfect. There has been a single
instance this season where the
Jayhawks did not replicate
their weekday performance in
conference play.
The Jayhawks beat Wichita
State 13-12 on April 1 in an
11 inning thriller but then
followed the win by getting
swept by Oklahoma during
the weekend. Coincidentally
Mens golf takes 8th at the

Big 12 Championships
Kansas golf coach Jamie Bermel
said it best: We were seeded eighth
going into the tournament and we
finished eighth.
That sums up the Jayhawks championship hopes. The leaders for the
Jayhawks at the Big 12 were freshman Daniel Hudson and sophomore
Chase Hanna, as they have been all
spring.
Hudson and Hanna both shot 73s,
which gave them a total of +3 for
their final rounds. Hudson captured
two birdies in his final round putting
him at +18 for the championship tying him for 24th. Hanna finished one
stroke shy of Hudson at a +19 and
tying for 30th.
OTHER CHAMPIONSHIP NOTABLES
Junior Connor Peck and redshirt
freshman Jacques Wilson carded +4
for their final rounds. Wilson shot a
enough, the series was similar

to the weekday game except
the Jayhawks were on the
opposite side of the outcome.
In two games against
Oklahoma, the contest went
into extra innings with the
Sooners winning by a single
run.
Theyre getting better,
Price said. Theyre making
progress and then we still have
days where they go backwards
in their performances.
On Wednesday the Jayhawks
played their weekday game
against Arkansas-Pine Bluff
and lost 6-5 despite a ninth
inning home run by senior
Connor McKay.
We needed the play to
set the tone for the weekend
because its a huge weekend
coming up, Price said.
Price and his squad will
hope to break the trend this
weekend as they play a crucial
conference series against the
Baylor Bears beginning Friday,
May 1 at Hoglund Ballpark.
+25 for the championship, tying for

36th, while Peck tallied up four birdies in his final round, tying for 40th
and shooting +27. Junior Ben Welle
led the Jayhawks throughout, finishing with the best core of the team at
+17.
CHANCES AT REGIONALS
I think we made a lot of progress
this year and have everyone coming
back next year who played in the Big
12 Championship," Bermel said. "As
for regionals, we were ranked 67 and
68 in two different polls. With finishing eighth, I would have to think we
may be on the outside looking in as
the number is 68 and we may drop
a few spots."
Bermel said he was not impressed
with the performance in the Big 12
but he is very optimistic about a
regional appearance based on their
overall spring finishes. It would be
the first regional they have made
since 2007.

Kansas baseball falls in Arkansas-Pine Bluff game

WESLEY DOTSON
@WesleyDee23
In its first-ever meeting with

the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions, the Kansas baseball
team was defeated Wednesday
night, 6-5.
Senior Connor McKay got
the scoring started for the
Jayhawks in the bottom of the
first inning when a wild pitch
by Arkansas-Pine Bluff starter Ciji Ramos allowed him to
trot in from third base.
Freshman pitcher Brandon
Johnson struggled with his
command in the top of the
second inning for the Jayhawks. He hit the first two
batters he faced and walked
third baseman Josh Cassidy
to load the bases with no outs.
The next batter, Vladimir

Gomez, smacked a single back
up the middle that brought in
two runners to give the Golden Lions a 2-1 lead.
Left-fielder
Jerimiah
Figueroa would then hit a
double down the left-field line
to tack on another run for the
Golden Lions.
That double would end the
night early for Johnson. He
worked a relatively strong first
inning, but finished with five
earned runs, two hits and two
walks in 1+ innings.
He just struggled with his
command, coach Ritch Price
said after the loss. He hit the
first two guys to start the inning, and then he walked a
guy to load the basesthey
only got two hits, and they put
up five runs, so thats obviously a huge, crooked number.

The Jayhawks offense struggled to find any type of way to
produce runs after the bottom
of the first, but that would begin to change in the bottom
of the sixth inning. With the
bases loaded, freshman Matt
McLaughlin drew a walk,
which forced in senior Dakota Smith.
Junior Steve Goldstein then
hit a sacrifice fly that would
score junior Michael Tinsley
and make it 5-3, Golden Lions.
Ramos had solid control of
his pitches after the wild pitch
that allowed McKay to score,
but was relieved of his duties
after the walk from McLaughlin. He finished with five and
one-thirds innings pitched,

allowing five hits and two
earned runs in his fifth start
of the season.
In the top of the seventh inning, Golden Lion Rashawn
Tillman scored on a single
from Gabe Munoz to give the
Golden Bears a 6-3 lead.
The run was the first earned
run allowed by any of the
seven Jayhawk relievers, and
it was charged to freshman

Ryan Jackson.
Our bullpen did a good
job, Price said. Some guys
came in and inherited some
runners and found a way to
get out of it without giving
up a run, and that gave us a
chance.
Smith would get the Jayhawks who run back in the
bottom of the seventh with
his RBI single to left field that

McKay scored on, making the
score 6-4, Golden Lions.
Kansas was unable to capitalize on its seventh inning
threat when sophomore Joven
Afenir grounded into a double play with the bases loaded
to end the frame.

Track and field to host

last regular-season meet
G.J. MELIA
@gjmelia
In its final meet of the regular season, the Kansas track

and field team will host five
teams Saturday at Rock Chalk
Park for the Rock Chalk Classic. It is Kansas second home
meet this outdoor season.
Kansas will host Kansas
State, Wichita State, Oral Roberts, Air Force and UMKC.
Jayhawk athletes will also
prepare for the Big 12 Outdoor Championships on
May 15-17. Coach Stanley
Redwine said there are athletes fighting for a spot on
the Big 12 squad, as well as
athletes running in different events to tune up for the
Big 12 meet.
The things that will help
[athletes] compete the most
during postseason competition or championship season

competition are the things
that the coaches are preparing
the athletes to do, Redwine
said. And sometimes that
may mean doing their same
event and gaining more confidence in that event. So its
kind of different for each individual.
Kansas will take 32 athletes
each from the mens and
womens teams to the conference meet for a total of 64
athletes competing in Ames,
Iowa.
At both the Rock Chalk
Classic and the Big 12 Championships, athletes will look
to qualify for the NCAA West
Preliminary on May 28-30.
The NCAA takes the top 96
athletes in the East and West
regions, with 48 qualifying
from each region. The final

day to qualify is May 17.
Athletes who do not qualify
for either the Big 12 meet or
the NCAA Preliminary will
end their season Saturday.
Redwine said the next step is
going back to base work and
preparing for the 2015-16
season.
When anyones season ends,
we evaluate their strengths,
we evaluate their weaknesses
and start working from there,
Redwine said. I believe the
wider the base, the higher the
peak. So with that in mind, we
go back to doing some things
that will help those athletes.
As for Saturday, the events
will begin at 11 a.m. and wrap
up around 5 p.m.

ANNA WENNER/KANSAN
The Kansasa baseball team faces a big matchup against Baylor this weekend. Last weekend, the Jayhawks jumped above the Bears to eighth in the Big 12.
Kansas baseball to battle Baylor

in a critical weekend series
EVAN RIGGS
@EvanRiggs15
This weekend, the Jayhawks

(19-25, 6-9) will host the
Baylor Bears (17-27, 6-12)
in a critical Big 12 series.
After winning two of three
matchups with the West
Virginia Mountaineers last
weekend, the Jayhawks have
jumped the Bears and the
Kansas State Wildcats in the
conference standings, and are
now eighth in the Big 12.
Weve got an opportunity
to win some series before the
Big 12 Tournament in Tulsa,
coach Ritch Price said. Once
we get there, anything can
happen.
The Bears have struggled to
a 5-11 record in the month
of April. The Jayhawks, on
the other hand, have played
well in April en route to a 9-7

record.
Statistically, the Bears have
one of the leagues worst
pitching staffs and offenses.
Their two primary starters,
Daniel Castano and Drew
Tolson, have records of 2-5
and 3-6 respectively.
The Bears have just six
home runs this season, which
is ninth in the Big 12. The
Jayhawks will not have to
worry about their power, but
the Bears possess a lot of speed
on the base path that could
cause problems.
This season, the Bears have
stolen 57 bases, which is
third in the Big 12. They have
attempted 85 stolen bases,
so they are capable of being
thrown out, and the Jayhawks
will need sophomore catcher
Michael Tinsley to do just that.
On the contrary, the

Jayhawks have one of the
best offenses in the Big 12,
and that bodes well for them
going against Baylors sub-par
pitching staff. The Jayhawks
have
the
fourth-highest
batting average in the Big 12 at
.280, and the seventh-ranked
home run hitter in the Big 12outfielder Dakota Smith, who
has six home runs.
Tinsley has been the
Jayhawks most consistent
offensive weapon this season.
He is batting .333 with three
home runs and 34 RBIs.
Logan Brown is the Bears
quickest player around the
base path. He has attempted
24 stolen bases and has been
successful 17 times, which is
good for second in the Big 12.
The Jayhawks pitching staff
still has the worst ERA in the
Big 12 at 5.74, but some of the

pitchers are performing at a
high level. Junior transfer Ben
Krauth, who won Big 12 CoNewcomer of the week earlier
this week, is 6-3 with a 3.73
era this season. His six wins
are tied for fifth best in the
Big 12.
Pitchers Drew Morovick
(4-3) and Sean Rackoski (2-2)
have also been good options
for the Jayhawks this season.
Sophomore relief pitcher
Stephen Villines has been
fantastic for Kansas this
season with a 3.89 era with 11
saves.
The Jayhawks will look to
continue to move up in the Big
12 standings at 6 p.m. Friday,
2 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m.
Sunday.
Edited by Laura Kubicki
The
Jayhawks
2015
baseball season has been an
unpredictable one, to say the
least. With a young pitching
rotation that is still developing,
combined with a talented,
veteran batting lineup, its
impossible to tell which
Kansas team will show up on a
given night.
In April, the Jayhawks were
swept by Oklahoma, which has
an NCAA RPI of 85, and then
proceeded to win the series
against Oklahoma State, which
has an RPI of 14, the following
weekend.
Although the team has been
unpredictable, there has been
a trend since the beginning
of Big 12 league play that
revolves around the Jayhawks
performance in weekday
matchups.
Unlike college basketball and
a majority of football teams,
college baseball teams play
non-conference
opponents
on Tuesdays and Wednesdays
between playing conference
foes on the weekends.
Weve been doing a pretty
good job here on Tuesday and
Wednesday nights the last few
weeks, coach Ritch Price said.
Since Big 12 play started
on March 27, the Jayhawks
matchups during the week
prior to their league games

have been a quality predictor
of how the team will perform
on the weekend.
The
Jayhawks
first
conference series was against
Texas Tech. The team managed
to win their first Big 12 game
of the year, but dropped the
last two games and ultimately
the series. The Tuesday
before, Missouri State beat the
Jayhawks on the road 15-9 and
unknowingly started a trend.
On April 7-8, the Jayhawks
swept New Mexico, a team who
is currently projected to be a
three-seed in the postseason
field. That weekend, the
Jayhawks were set to face then
No. 9 Oklahoma State. After
winning their weekday games,
the Jayhawks pulled the upset
and won the series against the
favored Cowboys.
Just days after their series
win against the Cowboys, the
Jayhawks hosted Missouri
State for a second game.
The Jayhawks lost 3-0 in a
heartbreaker where all three
of the Bears runs came from
a single hit. Not only did the
weekday game carry over its
losing attribute to the weekend
series against Texas, it also
brought with it the heartbreak.
In the first game of the series,
the Jayhawks fought hard in

while adding 51 hits, 28
runs scored, 15 doubles and
40 RBIs. Stein said she was
emotional to end her college
career.
Im the person that cries
when shes happy or when
shes sad, Stein said. I think
itll be a little bit of both.
Pille has been the Jayhawks star pitcher through
most of her four-year career. She leads the Jayhawks
with a 2.84 ERA and has recorded 165 strikeouts while
allowing 139 hits and 77
scores. Pille owns a 21-4 re-

cord this season.

Pille came to Lawrence
from Royse City, Texas, and
has recorded more than 130
strikeouts in every season
she has been a Jayhawk.
Its pretty crazy, Pille said.
Im trying not to think too
much about it. It still seems
surreal. I cant believe four
years can pass that quickly.
With an RPI rank of 18,
the Jayhawks can still have
the opportunity to host
games of the NCAA Tournament Regionals at Arrocha Ballpark.

TWINS FROM PAGE 14A

The season went by so fast,
Kayla said. With my freshman teammates, we have that
sisterhood, and we became
really close.
However, even with a focus
on teamwork and communicating, that doesnt mean the
competitive spirit between the
twins is lacking in any way.
The twins have always been
competitive, especially with
each other. While growing up,
they loved playing one sport
together: volleyball.
But that changed slightly
when Chayla took a year off of
the sport to get better at basketball, which created the first
real difference in who they
were as athletes.
Chayla was very competitive on the basketball court,
and I was on the volleyball
court, Kayla said.
Despite playing completely different sports, the twins
didnt lose their bond.
Chayla and Kayla still spend
time together when their
schedules dont conflict, not to
mention, they live two doors
apart from each other.
[Its] just like living at home
together, Chayla said.
Both sisters go to each others games as much as they
can, even if that means one
has to drive up from home
over break. Two or more
hours of driving means nothing to twins who share such a
bond.
Its not that far from home,
Kayla said. [Well] ride up
with family just to support
[each other].
Kayla and Chaylas bond
goes beyond that of a typical
pair of sisters. Family is important to the Cheadle twins,
and its something that isnt
taken lightly.
Whether its shooting around
or playing on the volleyball
court, the Cheadle twins share
a bond unlike most.
From Columbia to Lawrence, from volleyball to basketball, Kayla and Chayla are
INSEPARABLE
Both sisters go to each others
games as much as they can,
even if that means one has to
drive up from home over break.
Two or more hours of driving
means nothing to twins who
share such a bond.

Softball to take Baylor

on in final home game
DEREK SKILLETT
@derek_skillett
After narrowly losing a weekend series to the No. 4 Oklahoma Sooners, the Jayhawks (3510, 5-7) will be back in action
Friday against the No. 14 Baylor Bears (34-12, 8-4) for the
final home Big 12 conference
series of the season.
Kansas lost its last conference
series to the No. 4 Oklahoma
Sooners two games to one. The
Jayhawks upset the Sooners
last Friday night on a two-run
home run from freshman infielder Daniella Chavez in the
eighth inning, but were unable
to slow Oklahomas powerful
offense in Saturday and Sundays games.
Junior infielder Chaley
Brickey leads the Jayhawk offense with a .421 batting average and has contributed 61
hits, 44 runs scored, 53 RBIs
and 13 home runs. Infielder
Maddie Stein, who is among
four seniors who will be celebrated this weekend, ranks
second on the team with a
.372 batting average, 51 hits, 28
runs scored, 15 doubles and 40
RBIs.
Chavez has been sensational
for the Jayhawks during her
freshman season, recording a
.333 batting average, 43 hits, 23
runs scored, 11 home runs and
52 RBIs.
Pille leads the Jayhawks
pitching staff with a 2.84 ERA
and has recorded 165 strikeouts, while allowing 139 hits
and 77 scores. Freshman Bryn
Houlton ranks second on the

and has recorded 29 strikeouts
while allowing 58 hits and 31
scores.
The No. 14 Baylor Bears
boast an impressive 34-12
record this season and are
ranked No. 2 in the Big 12
conference standings, just behind Oklahoma. This season,
they boast impressive victories against No. 2 Oregon and
No. 17 Arizona and are one of
the few Big 12 teams to defeat
No. 4 Oklahoma.
We have to focus on
ourselves and what we need
to do to be successful. If
we do that and we dont get
wrapped up into what they
do, I think well be OK.
MEGAN SMITH
Softball coach
Offensively, the Bears are led

by freshman infielder Shelby
Friudenberg, who ranks second on Baylors lineup with a
.392 batting average and has
recorded 47 hits, 30 scores, 15
home runs and 39 RBIs.
The Bears boast some power
near the bottom of their batting order, with redshirt junior
Linsey Hays recording 39 hits,
17 scores, eight home runs
and 37 RBIs on a .302 batting
average.
Baylors bringing something
a little bit different than what
Oklahoma had, Kansas coach

Megan Smith said. They got
a lot of speed in their lineup,
which we deal with every single time we play Baylor. Its
a tough game because their
speed can change a game.
Baylors pitching staff is led
by junior Heather Stearns,
who carries a 2.47 ERA and
has recorded 193 strikeouts,
while allowing 126 hits and
60 scores. Redshirt freshman
Sarah Beth Toben also plays
an important role on Baylors
and has recorded 16 strikeouts
while allowing 32 hits and 13
scores.
[To win these games], our
mentality has to be the same as
it was last weekend. We have
to focus on ourselves and what
we need to do to be successful.
If we do that and we dont get
wrapped up into what they
do, I think well be OK, Smith
said.
Before Saturdays game, the
Jayhawks will celebrate the
careers of seniors Chanin
Naudin, Stein, Pille and Beth
Wilson, who has spent two
years in the program.
When those three girls
[Naudin, Stein, Pille] walked
onto campus [in 2011], our
program changed, Smith said.
All three of those players have
all made huge impacts on this
program.
Those three are special
players have turned our program around. What a strong
group to come in and lead that
charge, Smith added.

The coming weekend will

mark the last time Kansas
four seniors will suit up for a
home conference series. The
Jayhawks (35-10, 5-7) will face
off against the No. 14 Baylor
Bears (34-12, 8-4) at 5 p.m.
Friday for a three-game weekend series.
The four seniors on the Jayhawks roster, infielders Maddie Stein and Chanin Naudin
and pitchers Alicia Pille and
Beth Wilson, expect emotions to run high when they
are honored before Saturdays
game against the Bears.
I feel like Im going to be
thinking about all it took to
almost get me there, Naudin
said. I feel like Im going to

This season, Naudin has
contributed a .277 batting average while adding 39 hits, 31
RBIs, 30 runs scored and seven home runs. Naudin said her

attend the weekend series.
Wilson, a senior pitcher from
Canton, Ill., has only spent two
years in the Kansas program
after transferring from Heartland Community College in
2013.
Im not really much of an
emotional person, but Im
looking forward to just having

celebrating this day, Wilson
said. Hopefully I wont get
emotional, but I know that the
other seniors will.
Wilson has a 9.39 ERA this

FAMILY FIRST
Twin athletes, Kayla and Chayla Cheadle, stick together
DYLAN SHERWOOD
@dmantheman2011
Born only 10 minutes apart, twins Chayla and Kayla Cheadle have a
natural bond. The two are inseparable, which carried them together from
Columbia, Mo., to Kansas. Now, as they look forward to their second year at
the University, they hope to continue contributing to their respective teams
next year.
Going back to high school, it seemed a split was possible and maybe even
probable. Both twins received offers from multiple schools, including their
hometown school in Columbia, but staying together was too good to pass up.
The twins decided they wanted to go to school together, and Kansas was
the perfect fit.
However, after completing one year at Kansas, the two werent satisfied just
staying together and sticking to the status quo. They wanted more.
For Chayla, that means a bigger role going into her sophomore season on
the basketball team. For Kayla, its the same situation, but with volleyball.
I feel like I can take a leadership role into next season, with how young the
team is going to be, Chayla said.
Kayla, on the other hand, said she feels like the relationships she has with
her volleyball teammates now can become even stronger by next season as
she takes on more responsibility as a leader.
However, that doesnt mean they didnt contribute in year one.
On the womens basketball team, Chayla played a significant role as a
freshman. Her youth was the perfect complement to the senior class, which
featured Chelsea Gardner, Natalie Knight and Asia Boyd. But moving
forward, it will be Chaylas responsibility to lead the program, not to
complement it.
Its not just new players in the program, either theres a new coach, too.
Brandon Schneider has taken over as the new head coach for womens
basketball as he looks to bring the program back to its winning ways. And as
far as Chayla is concerned, the coach has her full support.
The one thing she still wants to see improved, though, is communication
communication between players and staff, and within the program.
And as is often the case with twins, what matters to one twin affects the
other.
Sure enough, Kayla talked about building sisterhood when asked about
what she and her team could improve. And coming from a player who
struggled to find time on the court in Big 12 play, that was a pretty big
statement to make.
