On Saturday, hundreds of
demonstrators gathered on
the south lawn of the Kansas
Statehouse to protest Kansas
Gov.
Sam
Brownbacks
Executive Order 15-02. The
rally was organized by
Wichita-based LGBT rights
coalition Equality Kansas and
featured state representative
John Carmichael (D-Wichita)
as a keynote speaker.
The Valentines Day rally
was organized in response to
an executive order Brownback
declared Feb. 10, which
revoked workplace protections
given to state employees on the
basis of sexual orientation and
gender identity. This makes
it legal for state employees
to be discriminated against
if they identify as LGBT. The
order reverses protections that
former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius
put in place in August 2007.
This
Executive
Order
ensures that state employees
enjoy the same civil rights as
all Kansans without creating
additional protected classes
as the previous order did. Any
such expansion of protected
classes should be done by the
legislature and not through
unilateral action, Brownback
said in a statement last Tuesday.
Carmichael expressed his
support for the demonstrators
cause and informed them of his
plans to advocate for the LGBT
community in the legislature
through his sponsorship of
House Bill 2323, which aims to
reinstate the protected classes.

A team comprised of
representatives, faculty and

from universities in the same

from Feb. 9-11 to review its
written executive summary
in hopes of the University
renewing its accreditation.
Accreditation is a process
that occurs every 10 years
at a participating university
where a steering committee,
appointed by the Higher
Learning
Commission
(HLC), visits the school
and reviews its written selfstudy to further confirm
that the University is
following through with what
it claims to have done in the
summary.
This self-study is a 200page document, written by a
team of individuals from the
Office of Public Affairs and
the Office of Institutional
Research and Planning at the
University. The document
explains how it reaches all
five of the criteria and the
respective components that
are a part of the accreditation
process, created by the
steering committee. The
five criteria include mission;
integrity; quality, resources
and support; evaluation and
improvement; and resources,
planning and institutional
effectiveness.

When its working, its a thing of beauty. Kansas basically shot its way out

jumper. Brannen Greene has torched
Georgetown and Texas to name a couple. But in Stillwater on Feb. 7, the well
ran dry in the second half, and Kansas
went stagnant in the half-court. Saturday, the Jayhawks got solid efforts

the league this year. It was
part of commissioner Roger

Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
Fortunately
for Goodell, not
much attention
has been directed
toward the
leagues domestic
violence
campaign.
Rather, the
NFL news cycle
buried its details with
senseless topics such as
Deflategate. So in the eyes of
the public, the NFL did its
job of promoting domestic
violence awareness. But in
reality, the only thing the
league had to do was give up
a minute of its own Super
Bowl airtime to No More.
It also must be noted that
domestic violence and sexual
assault arent acceptable, and
awareness, in the right ways,
is key. But, when the only
thing awareness groups, like
LIVESTRONG, do is place
their logos
on overpriced
T-shirts and
iPhone cases
and toss a
few pennies to
charity, they are
not doing a lot of
good. And thats the
path No More has
followed.
Now that the NFL has
successfully for the most
part buried its domestic
violence crisis, its shown
how companies can resolve
crises of their own without
shelling out a penny to a
non-profit. And we shouldnt
be surprised. The $10 billion
corporation that Goodell has
built is not
about fixing an issue, but
rather, making itself more
marketable.

HALF SUMMARIES
1ST HALF
Coming out of the gates, the Bears jumped on top of the Jayhawks, starting
the game on an 18-6 run. Outside of Cliff Alexander, who had four points and
a block over that stretch, the team played quite poorly, and it only got worse as
Jamari Traylor entered the game. However, when Self reinserted Alexander, the
Jayhawks turned things around, outscoring the Bears by double digits over the
final 10 minutes when Alexander was on the floor, and the deficit was down to a
very manageable six points at the half.
2ND HALF
In the second half, it was Kansas turn to jump out to an early advantage,
starting the second half on an 11-3 run, with Selden scoring seven of the first
11 points. The Jayhawks dominated from start to finish, outscoring the Bears
by 16 points in the final period. Ultimately, it looked as though the Jayhawks
had completely figured out the slightly adjusted Scott Drew zone.
GAME TO REMEMBER
Perry Ellis never really dominated the game at any point, but
his ability to get a basket when the Jayhawks needed it most
was the driving force in the victory. Ellis scored 18 points on
7-of-11 shooting, which was spread out quite evenly. Ellis
had four points in the first 10 minutes of the game, four
points in the second 10-minute increment, four points in the
next 15 minutes and six points in the final five, to lead the
Jayhawks to a 10-point win.
GAME TO FORGET
For Kansas, Jamari Traylor had little impact on the game
whatsoever. Playing a team-low 12 minutes, Traylor was
the only Jayhawk in the game to go scoreless, finishing
with no points, no assists, no steals and no blocks, while
committing a turnover and recording a foul.
UNSUNG HERO
Landen Lucas spent most of the first half on the bench,
as Cliff Alexander held his own against Baylors Rico
Gathers, but down the stretch, Self turned to his redshirt
sophomore. Lucas was up to the challenge, putting up
nine points and four rebounds in a performance that
he referred to as one of the best of his career after the
game.

COMMENTARY
Ellis among the
scoring greats
Matt Corte
@Corte_UDK
n Valentines Day,
when the motto is
all about love, junior
forward Perry Ellis was shown
just a bit more than the rest of
his Jayhawk teammates.
Then again, its not every day
that a player crosses the 1,000
point threshold for his career.
Playing
against
Baylor
on Saturday, Ellis became
the 56th player in Kansas
basketball history to do just
that, scoring 18 points to put
his career total at 1,015.
Known for his quiet nature
and humble attitude, Ellis
briefly acknowledged his
achievement after the game
before quickly reverting back
to whats most important:
winning.
Its a great accomplishment,
and Im just blessed to be in
this situation, Ellis said. Im
just trying to get better and
better, and just keep winning.
Coming into the game with
997 career points, Ellis passed
the 1K mark on a mid-range
jumper with 12:06 left in the
first half, a foul sending him
to the line in the process.
Instead of basking in the
spotlight, Ellis kept his usual
demeanor and hustled back
after missing the free throw
opportunity.
Having allowed Baylor 21
points in under eight minutes
of play, and still down 11 after
his jumper, no Kansas player
or coach was celebrating Ellis
achievement quite yet.
Not
surprisingly,
even
Ellis himself mentioned the
milestone was a non-factor
during the contest.
I wasnt really trying to
think about it during the
game, Ellis said. But after,
my teammates, they were all
really happy for me, and I just
tried to soak it in.
In scoring 18 points on
7-of-11
shooting,
Ellis
passed former Jayhawks
Norman Cook and Rodger
Bohnenstiehl on the Kansas
all-time scoring list, pushing
him to No. 54.
With more games to play
this season and an all-butguaranteed return for his
senior year, Ellis can climb
even higher on that list, coach
Bill Self said.
If he were to stay all four
years, hed put himself in a
situation where he could be
one of the 15 leading scorers
ever in the history of the
school, which would be pretty
cool, Self said.
Self s not just blowing
smoke either. Former threepoint specialist Jeff Boschee
sits at No. 15 all-time with
1,560 career points. In other
words, that position is well
within reach.
By the numbers, Ellis would
have to average only 12.2
points per game based on a 35game schedule. Considering
he already averages 13 points
per contest this season, it
looks like Self could be correct
with his assumption.
Why stop at No. 15 though?
As a player, you constantly
have to give more effort than
whats expected. The great
thing about Perry Ellis is that
he always does.
I think I can still get better,
Ellis said. I mean theres ballhandling and even shooting
better. I feel like I can improve
on that more ... so I feel like
theres still more to learn.
