Tickets pile up because of an unpaid meter on Massachusetts Street. City commissions voted
to put in four 15-minute meters in each block of downtown. Business owners who supported
the ordinance said they hoped it would allow easier access for in-and-out shoppers.
New meters will
allow easy access
BY ALEESE KOPF
[email protected]
Students can expect to
see new 15-minute parking
meters in downtown Lawrence
in the coming months.
At Tuesday’s city commission
meeting,
commissioners
approved an ordinance that will
place four 15-minute meters
in the middle of each block
downtown. The ordinance was
generated after a request by
several downtown business
owners, including Meritrust
Credit Union Branch Manager
Chris Lowery, who said that
15-minute meters would increase
turnover and make it easier for
the public to have quick access
to stores on Massachusetts Street.
City commissioner Robert
Chestnut said it was a good thing
to experiment with and that it
was something the commission had wanted to try to for the
convenience of quick shoppers.
Although the majority of
the commissioners supported
the advantages in convenience
with the new meters, others,
such as Mayor Mike Amyx,
expressed some concern. Amyx
voted against the ordinance.
“I think that one of the things
that is concerning to me is to
make sure we’re not actually
taking away parking,” he said.
Amyx said adding 15-minute meters may just take away
from already limited parking
spots because any of the twohour meters could be used as
short-term meters anyway.
Serene Hakin, a junior from
Overland Park, said she visited
downtown several times a week
and usually stayed down there for
more than 15 minutes. She said
that most of the time if she needed to just run into a store or grab
something quickly, she wouldn’t
even put money into a meter. If she
did, it was usually only a nickel.
The new 15-minute meters will
cost $0.25 for 15 minutes, while
the regular two-hour meters provide 30 minutes at the same cost.
“I don’t think 15 minute meters
are what we need because I think
people don’t want to stay in a spot
for only 15 minutes,” Hakin said.

Campus energy audit
Facilities Operations
monitor meters for
energy consumption
BY BRENNA LONG
[email protected]
For an entire day each month,
Josh Hackathorn, instrumentation
technician
with
Facilities
Operations at the University, treks
to every building on campus to
read its meter. He jots down the
line of numbers ­— sometimes as
many as seven numbers — that
represents how much steam power
index
the building sucked up for the
month.
“We have the meters in an order
that we do them,” Hackathorn said.
No map exists that shows where
the meters are located, but after five
years of experience Hackathorn has
a mental map of the meters’ locations on campus.
The 12 men who work in this
sector of Facilities Operations play
an important role in the way energy
is used on campus, yet often they go
unnoticed.
Energy consumption, including
the steam power the meters measure, costs millions of dollars for
the University every year, so the job
of tracking it is vital. In 2009, the

University spent about $10.3 million
on energy, said Scott McVey, energy
conservation and utility manager
at the University. That energy consumption also spans electrical and
natural gas used campus-wide.
“Every penny the cost of electricity goes up, that means more than a
million dollars for the University,”
McVey said.
Changes in the numbers on the
meters signal a red flag that something is awry. This gives Facilities
Operations a chance to fix the problem before it burns through more
energy. The workers who read the
meters can sometimes tell when the
numbers aren’t right, but it’s the job
of steam shop supervisor Vernon
Haid to conduct a line-by-line audit
of the numbers.
“Meter reading is a pretty hohum job,” said Haid, who has been
plant supervisor for the past 20
years. “But I think it is an important
thing because then we know where
we are at and how much steam we
are using.”
After Haid has a complete
list of the meter readings for the
month he double checks any discrepancies or “dyslexia” as he calls
it, and he sends the paperwork
to McVey who then has the job
of tracking all the energy used.

Energy (continued from 1A)
From his closet-sized office
at Facilities Operations, which
is located to the west of Watson
Library and behind Stauffer-Flint
Hall, McVey can see all the energy
figures in charts and Excel spreadsheets on his computer. But looking
out his lone office window he sees
the greatest energy hog on main
campus: Malott Hall. Science buildings require extensive ventilation
and lab equipment, which have to
be in place for safety, McVey said.
In 2009, Malott consumed about
57 million kilo British thermal units
or kBtu. For perspective, McVey
said in a year Malott uses as much
energy as 606 average U.S. homes
and costs the University more than
$1 million or about 10 percent of
the University’s entire energy budget.
In the opposite direction of
McVey’s window view sits Smith
Hall, which uses the least amount
of energy of all the classroom
buildings on campus. Using about
785,000 kBtu in a year and costing
the University only $15,050, Smith
consumes as much energy as only
eight average U.S. homes.
Regardless of whether McVey
can see the building or not, as a
KU alumnus he is familiar with
campus. Just like the meter readers,
experience gives him an advantage
when examining the statistics.
“It definitely helps to know where
all the buildings are that I monitor,”
McVey said.
Those figures can show him anything he needs to know. In general,
campus is broken down into different electrical categories. Lighting
and ventilation take the most energy, and after that cooling, computer
use and water heating are the big
ones.

campus, Haid, the plant supervisor, said he noticed the changes.
Two years ago new insulation was
installed in buildings and the numbers immediately reflected that.
More energy efforts including
changes in lighting, insulation and
plumbing will continue to lower
energy consumption as part of a
new contract with Energy Solutions
Professionals in Overland Park,
McVey said. The annual savings
should add up to $2 million.
“Every Btu we save on steam,
the better off we are,” Haid said.
“We keep trying around here to go
the extra mile to make everything
more efficient. The energy budget
is astronomical.”
Even with millions spent on
energy, compared to other Big 12
schools the University is on the
lower end. The University pays
$2.17 a year per square foot, while
other schools such as Texas and
Colorado spend more than $4. The
University of Nebraska-Lincoln is
the only Big 12 school to have the
University beat — by 18 cents.
The University’s energy costs per
student is $442. Colorado has the
highest cost per student among Big
12 schools at $1,231 per year.
Haid said he thought more could
be done. He and his crew are always
looking for ways to save energy.
Just the little things such as turning off the lights and lowering the
temperature could make amazing
differences, he said.
“Don’t say ‘Oh well. They will see
it eventually.’ If you see something
wasting energy, tell us,” Haid said.
from parking because the garages
were always available.
“There would definitely be
more turnover in parking,”
Weltha said. “It would be easier
for people to get down there to
do things.”
According to information organized by city staff, the meters will
cost $3,400 to paint and to change
the time mechanisms. It will cost
another $5,640 to add meters
to the two-hour lots because of
the added cost to install poles.
Additional pavement markings
and signs will cost even more.

Had the proposal gone through,
it would have lowered the overall

The coalition also wanted to
increase student seats for big
games.
The coalition’s plan didn’t make
it through, but Heilman said
Athletics sold tickets for $10 during winter break to community

the board had also proposed a

that would go into effect by fall

He said that between fall break

Another platform United
Students proposed was a class
“shopping week” in which students would receive a full refund
for courses dropped during the
first week of classes.
After the first week, the refund
scale would be gradual.
Vice President May Davis said
in an e-mail that she and Heilman
offered the Registrar’s Office about
five different scenarios to improve
the refund policy.
Heilman said the registrar was
hesitant to follow through with
the plans in a time of budget
crunches.
“To me that’s not a concern I
share because I think that’s not
money they should have anyway,”
Heilman said. “But that did provide them with enough justification to not move forward.”
Heilman said that now the
registrar had some options and
maybe in a better financial climate
it would focus on that.
“Overall I think it’s been a successful year,” Heilman said.

Hospital benefits support gay rights Friendship should be a
P
resident Obama took a
step toward justice when
he mandated that hospitals allow visitation rights to
partners of gay women and men
earlier this month. Allowing
patients to decide who makes
their medical decisions and who
can be with them in the hospital,
is a right many people take for
granted.
This right isn’t something
normally associated with the
rights that come with marriage.
However, there are many more
just like it. The United States
General Accounting Office,
in response to the Defense of
Marriage Act, identified 1,138
“federal statutory provisions
classified to the United States
Code in which marital status
is a factor in determining or
receiving benefits, rights, and
privileges.”
Here are just a few benefits
from the extensive list:
1. Joint parental rights of
children and joint adoption
2. Decisions about automatic
inheritance and disposal of
remains
3. Domestic violence protection
4. Social Security, Medicare
and Medicaid
5. Joint insurance plans
6. Spousal veteran’s benefits
7. Immigration and residency
for partners from other countries
8. Property tax exemptions
and income tax deductions
9. Preferential hiring for
spouses in University or government jobs
10. Joint tax filing
All of these contractual
benefits that come with the
status of marriage indicate
Obama’s mandate is progress,
but there are many more rights
on the list to check off. This
could potentially be a step
toward legalizing same-sex
marriage, but should not be
used as an excuse to sidestep the
issue.
Being aware of these rights is
the first step toward overcoming the Defense of Marriage Act,
and to living in a society that
values all families.
This is one of the greatest civil
rights issues facing our generation, and we can’t be placated
before justice is carried out.

n conversations with friends
who are also studying abroad,
we often seem to have experienced the same problem. We
feel as though we’re losing contact
with old friends and we have
trouble finding friends in our new
environments.
I think this obstacle can be
tied back to one thing: People
are losing faith in relationships.
In high school, we built solid
friendships based on pure character. Often we had grown up
with the same people in close-knit
communities. Communication
was natural.
However, in college, we associate our peers simply as classmates.
In workplaces, we see each other
as colleagues and competitors.
Worst of all, society seems to
encourage this kind of behavior.
Office workers grumble that the
office is like a battlefield and the
losers are those who naively trust
their colleagues.
A good friend of mine, who
is studying in Las Vegas, told me
about his hardship in searching
for a close friend.
“Las Vegas is a sleepless town
and I can find all sorts of entertainment. But I still search for
a true friend,” he said. “People
always have masks up. I don’t feel
comfortable to open up to them.”
He described to me that he
thought he had found a good
group of friends. Only after a
while did he realize these “friends”
were more interested in material
goods than real friendship.
The last time my friend and I
got together, we couldn’t stop teasing each other about the follies of
the youth. We shared a long sigh
at the end of the conversation, tacitly agreeing that once we stepped
out of our childhood playgrounds,
pure and innocent friendship
became more difficult to attain.
Without mutual childhood
experiences and similar
upbringings, it’s relatively tough to
click with newcomers to our lives.
Instead of focusing on continually
expanding a social network, some
people choose to reconnect with
old friends. But even this strategy
can lead to disappointment.
Another friend of mine isn’t

surprised by this issue.
“No one can stick with the same
group of friends forever. We said
as we grow up and our needs and
wants change, so do our friends.
We move on.”
This friend is an extremely
gregarious person who claimed to
know almost two-thirds of passers-by walking on Massachusetts
Street.
“I cannot live without being
with friends,” he said. “Honestly,
I know most of them are fairweather friends, but who cares?
As long as we both have fun
together, that’s the basic function
of a friend.”
I find the views of both of my
friends to be quite extreme. In
my dictionary, a “friend” can be
defined as broadly as an acquaintance or as uniquely as a soulmate.
I strive to keep in contact with
old friends. I also don’t refuse to
make new friends, because I know
things don’t always stay the same.
Recently, I asked two of my
good friends if they would fly
from Taiwan to attend my wedding in Macau one day. They both
answered, “Why not?”
Although I know we will go our
own directions after graduation, I
am comforted by the idea of this
potential future reunion.
As for now, I am glad to treasure our happy moments and
attach my faith to our friendship.
Whether they will really attend
my wedding is still unknown,
but I look forward to sitting with
them some day, talking about our
new lives and teasing each other
with our stupid old jokes.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Immigration issue
fueled by drugs
Although the recent legislation signed into law in Arizona
that requires any person to show
proof of citizenship does nothing
to solve the immigration issue, it’s
not surprising that the state would
seek a solution to the problems
caused by illegal aliens.
However, the dilemma caused
by undocumented residents comes
from the inaction of the federal
and state governments.
Congress has been unable
to pass significant legislation in
regards to immigration policy for
years, and the country is seeing
the result of this inaction through
large numbers of illegal immigrants all over the U.S. Aside from
a small number of immigration
visas and a handful of worker
visas, there are few opportunities
for Latino immigrants to come to
the U.S. legally.
There should be documentation
and legal obligations that an
immigrant must fulfill, but the
government should also pursue a
policy that will allow an increase
in the number of immigrants
to the U.S., as well as a path to
citizenship for those already
here. Our country has a long
history of allowing large waves of
immigration, and most citizens
owe their own nationality to
ancestors of only a few generations
past who immigrated to America.
We must look at why there
are such a large number of immigrants entering through the southern borders. Many Mexicans fleeing their country are looking for
freedom of fear from drug lords,
a problem that would not exist if
there were not such a large drug
demand from the north. The U.S.
has a drug addiction that is aggravating the already terrible violence
among drug cartels in northern
Mexico.
The drug laws that exist in
the U.S. need to be more strictly
enforced to help curb addiction
that our country has to drugs.
The growing acceptance of an
illegal drug, such as marijuana,
leads to an increase in its demand,
furthering conflict between drug
cartels. Americans cannot pretend
that drug use within their own
borders does not have effects
beyond them. Therefore, politicians in Washington need to start
working on immigration reform,
while local governments and law
enforcement across the country
need to strictly enforce already
existing drug laws.

Texas governor shoots a
coyote to protect his puppy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — Pistol-packing
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has a message
for wily coyotes out there: Don’t
mess with my dog.
Perry told The Associated Press
Tuesday that he needed just one
shot from the laser-sighted pistol
he sometimes carries while jogging
to take down a coyote that menaced
his puppy during a February run in
an undeveloped area near Austin.
Perry said he would carry his
.380 Ruger pistol — loaded with
hollow-point bullets — when jogging on trails because he was afraid
of snakes. He’d also seen coyotes in
the area.
When one came out of the brush
toward his daughter’s Labrador
retriever, Perry charged.
“Don’t attack my dog or you
might get shot — if you’re a coyote,”
he said Tuesday.
Perry, a Republican running for a
third full term against Democrat Bill
White, is living in a private house in
a hilly area southwest of downtown Austin while the Governor’s
Mansion is being repaired after a
their house across the country, so
this would give them one more
thing to put on their list,” Ben
Morgan, co-coordinator of Greeks
Going Green and a senior from
Lenexa, said.
Another way houses could earn
points was by turning off the lights
and participating in a Black Out
event last week.
For an hour on Earth Day, nine
houses turned off all the lights to
conserve energy and raise awareness.
Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega,
Delta Upsilon, Gamma Phi Beta,
Kappa Sigma, Pi Beta Phi, Sigma
Chi, Sigma Delta Tau and Sigma
Kappa all participated.
Morgan said the Black Out was
the first tangible thing Greeks
Going Green had done so far since
the group started two years ago.
“The Black Out was successful here,” Mike Lucy, the Delta
Upsilon representative and a
junior from Leawood, said. “There
were very few complaints.”
Aside from the planned events,
the
representatives
started
recycling initiatives in their own
houses.
Lucy and Elliott Lockwood, the
Kappa Sigma representative and a
sophomore from Houston, talked
to members of their houses and
have added more recycling bins.
Lockwood placed a box next to
the printer for paper and bins for
cans and bottles around the Kappa
Sigma house.
During the course of two weeks,
the house collected 60 pounds in
cans and earned $23 by selling its
recyclables.
“I feel like it is worthwhile to
promote and helps the houses save
some money,” Lockwood said.
“I’m not sure if we have had an
effect on other houses, but I hope
we have.”

NEW YORK — The only man
ever to admit involvement in the
assassination of Malcolm X was
freed on parole Tuesday, 45 years
after he helped gun down the civil
rights leader.
Thomas Hagan was the last man
still serving time in the 1965 killing,
part of the string of violence that
wound through the cultural and
political upheaval of the 1960s. He
was freed from a Manhattan prison
where he spent two days a week
under a work-release program.
Hagan, 69, has repeatedly
expressed sorrow for being one of
the gunmen who fired on Malcolm
X, killing one of the civil rights
era’s most polarizing and compelling figures. One of the groups
dedicated to Malcolm X’s memory
condemned Hagan’s parole.
Hagan declined to comment
after his release.
“I really haven’t had any time to
gather my thoughts on anything,”
he told The Associated Press by
telephone.
Hagan acknowledged that he
was one of three men who shot
Malcolm X in front of a crowd
of hundreds — including several
of his young children — as the
civil rights leader began a speech
at Harlem’s Audubon Ballroom on
Feb. 21, 1965. Two other accomplices created a distraction in the
audience, Hagan said.
But he said the two men convicted with him were not involved.
They, too, maintained their innocence and were paroled in the
1980s. No one else has ever been
charged, a fact that has perpetuated
debate and theories surrounding
the slaying.
The
Manhattan
District
Attorney’s office, which prosecuted Hagan and his co-defendants,
declined to comment on Hagan’s
release or his account of the killing.
Hagan tried 17 times before being
approved last month for parole. He
had been sentenced to up to life in
prison for what he described in a
2008 court filing as the deed of a
young man who “acted out of rage
on impulse and loyalty” to religious
leaders.
The assassins gunned down
Malcolm X out of anger at his split
with the leadership of the Nation of
Islam, the black Muslim movement
for which he had once served as a
prominent spokesman, said Hagan.
Malcolm X was 39 years old when
he was killed.

Memorial
Stadium
hopes an
upgrade
By nicolas roesler
[email protected]
T
he new and much larger
video board in Memorial
Stadium is an impressive
sight. And it's sure to add excitement to the upcoming football
season. But seeing the expansion
of our previously miniature video
screen just creates an obvious
need for the further expansion of
Memorial Stadium.
The expansion of the video
screen is like putting a Band-Aid
over a cut deserving stitches.
Memorial Stadium needs expansion, and it needs it soon, especially
if coach Turner Gill and the new
face of Kansas football is to become
recognizable nationwide.
The new video screen, which is
about three times bigger than the
previous screen, is 28 feet high and
85 feet wide. It fits within the structure of the pre-existing display that
held advertisements.
It is something to behold. No
descriptions can really do the clarity of the picture justice. If anybody
saw the screen’s debut at the Kansas
Relays or the spring football game,
you understand the gratifying visuals.
While sitting in the horseshoe
across from the screen, your eyes
can’t help but wander to the left
and right of the screen to the
absence of an equally impressive stadium. How many visiting
players and coaches have come to
Lawrence for a football game and
said it was one of the hardest places
to play in the country?
None. That is precisely why
Memorial Stadium needs a formidable expansion. Currently, the
stadium is limited as a home-field
advantage because it’s too small.
Memorial Stadium holds a little
more than 50,000 people. Texas’
stadium holds 100,000. Nebraska’s
stadium has a single-game attendance record of 86,000. Memorial
Stadium doesn't even breach the
top 70 capacity football stadiums
for college football venues.
Although I understand there is
a lack of funding for the proposed
Gridiron Club expansion, further
expansion needs to be considered. I
propose removing the track circling
Kivisto Field and lowering the field
so that the stands can be expanded
down into the ground about 15
feet. This would allow the stands to
reach field level.
It wouldn’t really create an effect
of playing football in a prairie dog’s
den. In fact, I think it would hardly
be noticeable. The famous hill
would simply roll on a few more
feet into a new Memorial Stadium
that could potentially hold 5 to 10
thousand more fans. I would also
go ahead with the Gridiron Club
expansion when the funds become
available. This necessary expansion
would finally be able to compare
with some of the Big 12 rivals’ stadiums.
The new video screen ranks
as the 21st largest screen in the
country. Combined with the twoyear-old Anderson Family Football
Complex, Kansas football facilities are finally making a name for
themselves.
Expansion to Memorial Stadium
would finally add it to the list of
intimidating venues in the Big 12.

Sophomore pitcher Matt Kohorst throws against Wichita State in the bottom of the sixth inning Tuesday. The Jayhawks lost to the Shockers 22-7. Coach Price said this was probably because of the short rest period for pitchers since this weekend.

Being a student-athlete certainly comes with its perks — adoring
fans, playing in front of large
crowds, bundles of gear. But the
ability to be a successful student
in the classroom doesn’t seem like
one of them. Many times with
popular society emphasizing onfield success, the classroom falls
into the backs of people’s minds.

NHL jerseys light up Liberia
H
ockey holds a different meaning in Liberia.
This poor, sub-Saharan
African country is without ice and
in many circles, water. There are no
hockey sticks, rinks, pads or Zambonis.
Most civilians know nothing about the
sport at all.
But they’ve got jerseys.
The exchange of used clothing from
North America has created an underground market in Western Africa.
Liberia still suffers from the aftermath
of its second civil war, which ended in
2003 and claimed 150,000 casualties. So
Americans and Canadians donate their
unworn or under-appreciated threads
to a cause that they see on television
or read in magazines. Then the giant
blocks of clothing are shipped off on a
boat and unloaded to coastline towns
in Africa. Liberia happily rakes in the
goods and hockey jerseys are its hottest
commodity.
A National Post photo gallery captures the meaning of the hockey jerseys
in Ganta, a small town in Liberia. One
boy stops for a picture while transporting chopped watermelon on top
of his head. In the picture he wears a
turquoise San Jose Sharks jersey that
matches his similarly colored shorts.

behind his pineapples and wears a white
Toronto Maple Leafs jersey. Never mind
that these long sleeved sweaters only
worsen the effects of the humid tropical
temperatures. Many Liberians, such as
the pineapple vendor, treasure the fine
materials and sleek color arrangements
of these jerseys enough to disregard the
heat.
In perhaps the most powerful photo
of the gallery, a slight man blankly
stares into the audience’s eyes. The
emaciated villager wears a bright red
Chicago Blackhawks jersey, whose
logo is an overtly racist depiction of a
Native American (feathers, war-paint,
etc.). The man does not know the rules
of hockey, nor the implications of his
jersey’s logo. To him, he is simply a
part of a rarity ­— a classy fad in a near
wasteland.
Western culture has taught us to
treasure material goods such as clothing. American sports fans love nothing
more than rocking their favorite team’s
jersey. But for a sport that sits far from
the forefront of our nation’s attention,
hockey’s merchandise often means
something else. Our ability to distance
ourselves from an already produced
jersey provides someone in Liberia with
possibly the finest article of clothing of
his or her life.
Don’t allow that old jersey to grow
gray hairs in your closet. Instead, donate
it and illuminate the pineapple vendor.
If it’s a good enough stitch, he won’t
mind the heat.

leading the Minnesota Twins to
a 2-0 win over the Detroit Tigers
Tuesday.
Liriano (3-0) struck out 10 and
gave up the first of four hits in the

Justin Verlander (1-2) gave up

Former K-State quarterback remembered as a passionate adventurer
Associated Press
PITTSBURG — Former Kansas State quarterback Dylan Meier
was a tough competitor who spent
his time off the field living life to
the fullest and befriending those
around him, according to speakers at Meier’s funeral.
Meier was laid to rest Monday
after services attended by more
than 1,000 people in Pittsburg.
The 26-year-old was hiking in Arkansas last week when he fell to
his death at Whitaker Point, also
known as Hawksbill Crag.

Kansas wide receiver, was with
him in Arkansas. On Saturday the production in New Zealand. He

Speakers also said Meier was

friends into an extended family
wherever he went.
“We have a family environment

“And Dylan was the consummate
family member. I admire Dylan.
He was an easy friend, a quick

Snyder said Meier genuinely
cared about people he met and
had a gift for making everyone
feel important. He urged the
crowd to celebrate Meier’s life,
rather than mourn his death.
“Nothing ever took Dylan
down,” Snyder said. “Dylan always lifted people up.”

Kansas sinks under poor pitching,
Wichita State's nine-run innings
BY Andrew Hammond
SPORTS / 5B
hawks pitching falls short
baseball
Key innings
Bottom of the fourth
Wichita State already led 3-1 when it sent 14 batters to the plate and
scored nine runs in the inning, blowing the game wide open. Wichita
State tallied only four hits in the inning, but capitalized on six walks,
two hit batsmen and an error.
[email protected]
WICHITA — During the fourth
inning of Kansas’ game against
Wichita State Tuesday, 43 minutes
proved to be too much for Kansas
to overcome. In a stretch that put
the game away, Wichita State put
together a season-high nine-run
inning before cruising past Kansas
22-7.
“This one hurts,” shortstop
Brandon Macias said. “It’s tough.
Our pitchers are trying out there
and it’s hard to stay on your toes
when stuff like that happens.”
Starting pitcher Thomas Taylor
exited in the third inning, giving way to the Kansas bullpen,
a group that delighted the proWichita State crowd by walking
batters, giving up hits and hitting
the Shockers. Three pitchers were
used in a fourth inning that saw
nine runs cross the plate, two batters hit and two errors.
Coming into the game, the bullpen had given up a collective eight
runs in relief against Texas Tech.
Wichita State not only got nine in
the fourth, but scored nine in the
sixth inning as well.
“I told our guys after the game
that our pitching had been strong
all season,” coach Ritch Price said.
“Things got out of hand for us
in the second game against Texas
Tech and we struggled coming back from one day’s rest,
game to remember
Redshirt freshman Jake Marasco
The Wichita native didn’t enjoy an ideal homecoming, but had a
standout evening at the plate. Marasco went 2-for-2, with two doubles,
while drawing a walk and getting hit by a pitch. He also scored three of
the Jayhawks’ seven runs.

Freshman pitcher Thomas Taylor rifles the ball in the first inning Tuesday. Taylor had only one
earned run against him in 2.2 innings and recieved the loss.
as you guys saw.”
Indeed, Kansas’ bullpen has
struggled since the second game
in the Texas Tech series. The
group has now given up a staggering total of 30 runs in the last
three games.
With the loss of closer Brett
Bochy, who had season-ending
Tommy John surgery, the bullpen
hit a rough patch.
But with strong outings against
Creighton, Nebraska and Missouri
after Bochy’s injury, things were
looking up, or at least they appeared
to be.
Not only did the bullpen have a
bad night, but the defense did not
help either.
There were times in the fourth
when the Jayhawks seemed to
recover, but errors only worsened the situation. A key moment
occurred when Thompson failed
to throw out a runner at home. The
play was ruled an error.
Then a ground ball bounced off
Brandon Macias’ glove, extending
the inning. The Jayhawks created
their highest error total since last
Friday’s game against Texas Tech
by committing three errors.
Coming up next for the Jayhawks
is Oklahoma State, which averages
7.7 runs per game.
“We have to find a way to
get this out of our memory
and get ready for Stillwater and
Oklahoma State,” third baseman
Tony Thompson said.
Game to forget: Kansas’ pitching staff
Jayhawk pitchers made it easy on the Shockers offense, which didn’t
need the additional help. Kansas’ pitchers continually fell behind in the
count, issued walks and hit batters. All five Jayhawk pitchers were ineffective, and at times made simply recording an out appear a laborious
task.
stat of the night
Forty three minutes
. That’s how long it took Kansas
to get off the field in the fourth. Three Jayhawk pitchers were needed
in the inning, which was by far the longest half inning this season.
in perspective
Tuesday’s lopsided defeat was the third straight game in which the
Jayhawks have surrendered 10 or more runs. Many members of Kansas’
bullpen were tired from a lengthy weekend series against Texas Tech,
but that was ultimately no excuse for the pitching Tuesday. This defeat
wasn’t merely a blip on the radar; it’s further evidence that pitching is
now a major concern for the Jayhawks going forward.

pitching (continued from 1B)
because of Jayhawk miscues: six
walks, two hit batters and two errors.
Surely, that had to be the ugliest
that things would get for the Jayhawks, right? Wrong.
After scoring a single run in the
fifth inning, Wichita State exploded
for nine more runs in the sixth.
Two more Jayhawk pitchers were
subject to the second barrage of
offense by the Shockers, which
included a towering grand slam to
straight-away center field.
“It’s not often you see a nine-spot
put up, and it’s not often you see it

for Seniors
done to you twice in a game,” coach
Price said.
Even in the wake of a secondstraight crushing defeat, the sentiment from Kansas’ players was a
confidence in their pitching staff.
“Like I said, they’ve been good
all season so they’re going to snap
out Publication
of it,” junior third baseman
Tony Thompson said.

for their teammates, the message
for the Jayhawks was simple: Put
this latest setback behind them
and continue to fight through
adversity.
“We’ve got a lot of games left,”
Macias said. “A lot of games.”

White Sox lose to the Rangers, 4-2
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas — Texas
catcher Matt Treanor had a solo
homer and a two-run double for his
first extra-base hits of the season
and former reliever C.J. Wilson had
another solid start for the Rangers
in a 4-2 victory over the Chicago
White Sox Tuesday.
Wilson (2-1) gave up two runs
over six innings, striking out Donny
Lucy to end the sixth with the bases
loaded after going to a 3-0 count
and then having Lucy foul off three
full-count pitches before finally
swinging and missing.
Francisco lost his closer job after
blowing two save chances the first
week of the season. Hard-throwing
Neftali Feliz, who took over as the
closer, was unavailable after pitching the previous two games, and
giving up back-to-back homers in
the ninth inning of a loss to Detroit
Monday.
White Sox left-hander Mark
Buehrle (2-3) lost his third straight
start, allowing four runs over seven
innings.
Treanor put the Rangers ahead
to stay with a solo homer in the
second, the ball just clearing the
14-foot wall in left field. Treanor,
the husband of two-time Olympic
beach volleyball gold medalist
Misty May-Treanor, was acquired
by the Rangers from Milwaukee
during spring training.
It was the sixth start in nine
games for Treanor, who played for
Florida from 2004-08 and started
four games for Detroit last season.
The
Rangers

Saltalamacchia from the disabled
list Tuesday and optioned him

BOSTON — The Boston
Celtics are heading to the second round of the NBA playoffs
and a potential matchup with
LeBron James and the Cleveland
Cavaliers.
Ray Allen scored 24 points,
making five 3-pointers in the
second half, to help Boston beat
Miami 96-86 in Game 5 of their
first-round playoff series Tuesday
and eliminate the Heat. With
Heat star Dwyane Wade due to
become a free agent — along with
James — it could be an eventful
summer in Miami.
Boston advanced to the Eastern
Conference semifinals thanks to
16 points, 12 rebounds and eight
assists from Rajon Rondo. Paul
Pierce scored 21 for the Celtics,
who will play either Cleveland or
Chicago; the Cavaliers took a 3-1
lead into Game 5 of their firstround series later Tuesday.
Wade scored 31 points — far
short of the franchise postseasonrecord 46 he scored Sunday in
Game 4 in Miami to help the
Heat stave off elimination.
The Celtics led by as many as
21 points in the third quarter
before Miami scored 16 of the
next 18 points to make it 69-62.
Wade scored 13 in what turned
into a 24-6 run that cut the deficit
to 73-70 on his three-point play
with 10:14 left in the game.
Wade scored 20 in the second
half in all; he also finished with
10 assists and eight rebounds.
But he was just 10-for-24 shooting and 2 for 7 from 3-point
range in the game. He missed all
three of his 3-point tries in the
fourth quarter as the Heat tried
to eat away at the remainder of
the Celtics’ big lead.
Wade, who averaged just under
34 points in the series, now has a
chance to test one of the hottest
free agent markets in memory.
James will be the big prize, of
course, but Wade is right behind
him and several teams could
make a run at both superstars to
build a potential contender for
years to come.
The Celtics beat the Bulls last
year in an overtime-laden, sevengame series in the first round.
Boston hooked up with James
and the Cavaliers for seven games
in the conference semis in 2008
on the way to the Celtics’ NBArecord 17th championship.
“We just have to come out with
a defensive mindset, keep LeBron
from getting on fire,” Celtics center Kendrick Perkins said in the
on-court, postgame scoreboard
interview while the Cavaliers and
Bulls were early in the third quarter.
It was the second straight
night a Boston team clinched a
playoff series at the TD Garden.
On Monday, the Bruins beat
the Buffalo Sabres in Game 6
to advance to the NHL’s Eastern
Conference semifinals and a
matchup with either the Montreal
Canadiens
or
Pittsburgh
Penguins.
The Celtics led by eight points
after one quarter and 10 at halftime, when Wade had 11 points,
six assists and five rebounds but
the Heat were shooting just 35
percent as a team — 0 for 8 from
3-point range. Pierce had 13, and
Rondo had 12 points and eight
assists to help Boston to the 48-38
halftime lead.
The Celtics made four 3-pointers in the first 4:37 of the third
quarter and took a 67-46 lead
with 7 minutes left. But Mario
Chalmers hit back-to-back 3
pointers and Wade followed soon
after with a pair of free throws
and a pair of 3-pointers to make it
69-62 with 2:18 left in the third.
Miami cut it to three before
Allen drove and drew a foul and
goaltending call on Joel Anthony.

banquet (continued from 1B)
Professors were also honored at the banquet. The
Student-Athlete Advisory
Committee nominated five
professors for the Del Shankel
Teaching Excellence award,
which was presented to
Sandra Albrecht, professor of
sociology.
“It was a really nice surprise,”
Albrecht
said.
“Everyone seemed really well
qualified. I just happened to
be the lucky one.”
Other nominees included
Mizuki Azuma, professor
of biology, Victoria Corbin,
professor
of
biology,
Dale Dorsey, professor of
philosophy, and Paul Koch,
professor of business.
Albrecht said she had
about six student-athletes per
semester and marveled at how
some of them, such as Bonds,
sustained such high GPAs.
“It takes a certain amount of
discipline to be an athlete and
a scholar at the same time, so
it’s impressive,” Albrecht said.
Albrecht said she never
worried that a student-athlete
in her class wouldn’t do the
work every other student did.
“I never get athletes in
my class with the idea that
they’re not going to be doing
the work,” she said. “I think
that’s a stereotype that really
doesn’t fit for the athletes in
my classes.”
Bonds fits that mold. She
said the best part about being
a student-athlete was the distraction from the typical college lifestyle.
“There’s an expectation that
we do well in school,” she said.
“It’s not just ‘stay eligible.’ Not
in my sport anyway.”

Royals pitcher throws
seven scoreless innings
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Zack
Greinke ended April winless in
five starts after the Kansas City
Royals’ bullpen blew another lead
in a 3-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners
Tuesday.
Greinke threw seven scoreless
innings and left his third start
with a lead only to watch the bullpen give it away. Greinke, who’s
0-2, allowed six hits, five singles,
walked none and struck out five,
throwing 119 pitches, before exiting with a 2-0 lead.
The Mariners batted around
in a three-run eighth off Kansas
City relievers Josh Rupe (0-1),
Robinson Tejeda and Bruce Chen.
Shawn Kelley (1-0) earned the
win with 1 2-3 perfect innings,
while David Aardsma worked
the ninth for his seventh save in
eight chances.
Ichiro Suzuki’s one-out bunt
single started the Mariners’ rally in
the eighth. Suzuki went 2 for 5 for
his seventh consecutive multihit
game at Kauffman Stadium, which
matches a career high for an
opposing batter.
The inning included Franklin
Gutierrez’s RBI single, Jose Lopez’s
two-run double, which was a high

Tejeda, who allowed both inherited runners to score and did not
retire a batter, was charged with
his second blown save in as many
opportunities.

Kansas attempts to rebound
The power of practice
BY ZACH GETZ
[email protected]
The Kansas softball team is trying
to get back on track after losing 12
of its last 14 games. Kansas (16-29)
will have another chance tonight
when it plays host to Wichita State
(16-27) at 5 p.m. for a non-conference doubleheader.
The Shockers have had an up
and down season, much like the
Jayhawks, coach Megan Smith said.
Wichita State has lost four of the
last five and is 10-15 in non-conference games.
Smith said inconsistency had
been a big problem all season for
the Jayhawks. Kansas will have one
aspect of its game shine while the
others don’t perform, senior pitcher
Sarah Vertelka said.
Tonight’s doubleheader will be
the second to last series Kansas
seniors will play at home. Kansas
will play the next four on the road
before coming back to Arrocha
Ballpark and closing out the season
against Iowa State.
Kansas will return to conference
play this weekend when it travels
to Norman, Okla. for a two-game

series against No. 10 Oklahoma.
Right-hander Sarah Vertelka pitches during game one in a doubleheader against Texas Tech
Sunday. Kansas fell 4-2 in game one and 4-1 in game two giving it 12 losses in its last 14 games.

Mets defeat Dogers 4-0
Jason Bay finally steps up with his first home run for New York
associated press
NEW YORK — Jason Bay hit his
first home run for the Mets to back
another stingy outing by Johan Santana, and New York beat the slumping Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0 in the
opener of a doubleheader Tuesday
for its fifth straight victory.
Santana (3-1) worked his way
around early traffic on the bases,
tossing six innings of four-hit ball
to extend a run of splendid starts by
the Mets’ surprising rotation.
Luis Castillo hit a two-run single
and New York pitched its second
consecutive shutout, following
Mike Pelfrey’s 1-0 win Sunday
night over Atlanta in a game that
was called in the sixth inning because of rain.
More wet weather Monday night
led to Tuesday’s old-fashioned,
single-admission, twinight doubleheader — but few fans made it to
blustery Citi Field in time for the
first pitch at 4:10 p.m.
There were still plenty of empty
sections of dark green seats down
low by the time David Wright
dived headfirst to score on a second-inning wild pitch by Hiroki
Kuroda (2-1).
A sparse crowd began filing in
as the game wore on, but it was far
from a full house as New York (119) improved to 7-1 on its 10-game
homestand.
Pitching has been the key: Mets
starters are 5-1 with a 1.17 ERA in
the last 12 games, leading the club
to a 9-3 record during that span.
As white napkins whipped
around the outfield in the wind,
Fernando Nieve worked two score-

less innings and Pedro Feliciano
finished the five-hitter. With its
fourth shutout of the season, New
York tied San Francisco for the major league lead.
Oliver Perez was set to start for
the Mets against knuckleballer
Charlie Haeger in the nightcap, a
matchup of winless pitchers.
Missing injured slugger Manny
Ramirez, the Dodgers lost for the
fourth time in five games. They
have scored only five runs in their
last four.
Wright drew a one-out walk in
the second, went to third on Ike
Davis’ double and scored when
Kuroda threw a wild pitch with the
bases loaded.
Bay connected leading off the
fourth, driving a 1-0 pitch over the
384-foot sign in left-center for his
first home run since signing a $66
million, four-year contract with the
Mets.
New York had been waiting for
Bay to break out the power bat that
produced 36 home runs and 119
RBIs for the Boston Red Sox last
season.
Castillo made it 4-0 in the seventh with a two-run single off Ramon Troncoso after fellow reliever
Jon Link had loaded the bases.
NOTES: Dodgers manager Joe
Torre said injured RHP Vicente Padilla won’t throw for at least a week
to 10 days and there is no timetable
for his return. Padilla, who went
on the disabled list Saturday, was
diagnosed Monday with irritation
of the radial nerve in his forearm, a
condition the team said is very rare
for pitchers.
