f the more than 500 students identified as gifted in the Lawrence public school district, only eight are black.

Instead, a black student in the district is more likely to be identified as having a learning disability than as being gifted. When the educational paths of students are parsed out, other students of color also face lopsided odds.

For them, as compared with their

As part of the district’s years-long effort to address inequities, a

comprehensive report breaks down racial demographics regarding academic, discipline and special education programs districtwide.

With those numbers in hand, board members and district leaders are refocusing their equity efforts, and are set to host a community conversation on race Monday.

School Board President Marcel Harmon said previously established district-level equity groups have fizzled out, and he sees the event as a re-initiation of engagement with the community around issues with race and its impact on the district.

BREAKING DOWN THE EQUITY REPORT The district’s equity report outlines the racial demographics of many groups of students — students identified as gifted, students who have been suspended, students who participate in various sports and extracurricular activities, and many more. Here’s how they compare in a few categories. To see the full report, go to ljworld.com/equityreport012917.

“To move forward, it’s going to take more than just the district looking at this,” Harmon said.

“We need to work with the community to help address these issues as well.”

Conversely, white students represented 78 percent of the students in gifted and 75 percent of students in advanced placement classes. Asian students are only about 4 percent of the population, but represent more than 11 percent of gifted students and 5 percent of advanced placement classes.

LAWRENCE disproportionate representation. School Board Vice President Shannon Kimball said that recommendation is testament to the fact that there is no “overnight fix” for improving the disparities.

“If there was an easy fix to this, we would already be doing it,” Kimball said. “But it’s hard work; it’s change over time that has to happen. The bigger picture thing is that our district is committed to doing that hard work to make a difference, and we’re not afraid to look at that data and talk about it and be open and transparent about it.”

Officer CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

However, for reasons the city has not explained, police department leaders did not fire Burke, but instead allowed him to resign.

Among the evidence the city says investigators collected are text messages from Burke to the female officer.

“I’ve never hit a girl before. I beat you,” one message read.

“I’m not sure next time it won’t keep going,” read another.

The Journal-World previously reported Burke filed a lawsuit against the City of Lawrence in September.

The lawsuit is seeking $525,000 in damages and claims Burke was illegally searched and defamed.

In addition, Burke claims he resigned from his position as an officer after a Lawrence police captain called his attorney and said he would be given a “favorable disposition” regarding criminal charges if he were to step down.

Both the city and Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson deny that allegation.

“We were never a party to any agreement or offer to that extent whatsoever,” Branson said.

Ultimately, however, no criminal charges were filed against Burke and he is still licensed to work as a police officer in Kansas.

In 2015, Branson’s office said there was insufficient evidence to file charges. When asked on Friday what evidence LPD shared with his office, he declined to offer additional comment, citing

the ongoing lawsuit.

The city’s answer to Burke’s lawsuit, which was filed on Jan. 17, denies Burke’s claims that he was illegally searched and defamed, as well as other allegations made against the police department.

When asked why the city accepted Burke’s resignation in light of the probable cause leading to his arrest, Lawrence City Attorney Toni Wheeler declined to comment on the case, citing the pending litigation.

Burke’s attorney, Theodore Lickteig, also declined to comment on the case.

It is unclear what information the Lawrence Police Department submitted to Branson’s office because the arrest affidavit in Burke’s case has not yet been made available to the Journal-World.

An arrest affidavit is a document written by police justifying an arrest. After an arrest, the documents are submitted to the DA’s office, which will decide whether to file criminal charges.

What LPD knew The following details come from the city’s Jan. 17 filing, which includes a summary of a February 2015 interview between investigators and Burke’s alleged victim.

The woman and Burke dated sporadically for more than two years and the relationship had been “tumultuous,” she said.

“Burke was domineering, jealous, and possessive.”

The two previously had rough, but consensual sex, she said. However, one incident in January 2015 went too far.

During the incident, Burke slapped the woman harder than ever before

and began choking her, she told investigators.

“When she started to see spots, she told Burke, ‘Stop’ as best she could,” the report says. “She reached up and tried to pull Burke’s arms away but she couldn’t and she blacked out.”

Having never been “strangled to unconsciousness” before, the woman told investigators she was scared. Shortly afterwards, Burke told her to join him downstairs, where he demanded she undress and get inside a dog kennel.

Burke then demanded the woman drink a beer and hand over her cell phone and password, she told investigators. He then “took a thick chain and wrapped it around the dog kennel to prevent her from leaving” and left her downstairs for several minutes.

When Burke returned he gave the woman another beer, told her he had looked through her phone and left again, she reported.

At this point the woman told investigators she was “shivering and tried to wrap herself in the towel at the bottom of the dog crate.”

Once more Burke returned, the report says.

He lectured the woman “about how she should learn to keep her mouth shut and that she should not talk to anyone about their relationship.”

“Burke took a mallet and started swinging at the dog kennel,” the report says.

“He hit the kennel numerous times and she was scared of the plastic cover breaking and the mallet striking her head.”

Burke then opened the kennel and let the woman out, the report says. She got into his bed and spent the night because “she

felt it was safer to stay with Burke than to try and leave.”

The next morning the woman said she took pictures of her injuries, which include hemorrhaging to her face and swelling on her top lip, the report says.

“Burke told her that she had better keep her mouth shut and wear a lot of makeup,” the report says.

The woman told investigators “she was hesitant to report the incident” and that “Burke owned several firearms and had told her several times that he could kill her and that he knew people who could make her body disappear,” the report says.

In late February, the woman spoke informally with a male officer about her relationship with Burke. In that conversation, the two officers discussed the bruises on the woman’s body.

The male officer then reported to a supervisor that he believed Burke was abusing the female officer, which launched an investigation into their relationship.

The Lawrence Police Department does not have a policy addressing romantic relationships between officers or other employees.

Burke was soon arrested, and several Lawrence police officers searched his home and vehicle, seizing two cellphones, according to the lawsuit.

Burke’s cellphones were returned that August, and in December, the arrest was expunged from his record, the lawsuit says.

Moving forward Currently, Burke’s license to work as a police officer is “in good standing,” according to Matt

L awrence J ournal -W orld “I think we’ve come to the realization that we need to put additional resources to this to make them happen more effectively,” Harmon said. “Training is a big thing, really. I know we need more effort in that regard: Teacher training, staff training and building administrative training relative to the equity work.”

Community Conversation The district’s equity work, but also the reasons it is necessary, are likely to play into the Community Conversation on racial equity Monday.

Pastor Adrion Roberson, an adaptive leadership facilitator on the faculty of the Kansas Leadership Center in Wichita, will lead the community conversation.

In addition to a way to engage the public, Harmon said the community conversation will be a way to find people who would like to participate in the equity council.

He said the council will include members of the public, a couple of board members and district administrators.

Like Harmon, Kimball said the goal of the conversation was to directly involve the community in the district’s efforts.

“That’s part of what the (community) conversation next week is designed to do,” Kimball said. “To continue to help us build those groups of support outside of our buildings and involve them more in our discussions of what we’re doing, how we’re doing it and how we can continue to improve what we’re already doing.”

The Community Conversation about racial equity in Lawrence Public Schools will be 6 p.m.

Deffner, central registration manager for the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’ Standards and Training, which is the organization responsible for the licenses.

Burke is not currently working as a police officer, however, Deffner said.

Whenever a police officer is fired or resigns, the department is required to submit a Notice of Termination or Status Change document to KS-CPOST, said Michelle Meier, the organization’s counsel.

The Lawrence Police Department submitted that document to KSCPOST on March 6, 2015, Meier said. However, the substance of the document is not open to the public, she said.

Neither Burke nor the female officer has a criminal record in Douglas County District Court.

The female officer is no longer employed with the Lawrence Police Department, Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard said in September. Both she and Burke began working for the department in 2011.

Burke’s lawsuit maintains his relationship with the female officer was rough but consensual and claims seven causes of action against the defendants: l Unlawful search warrant l Assault l Battery l False imprisonment l Defamation l Trespass l And trespass to chattel.

The lawsuit is requesting a trial by jury, though a trial date has not yet been set.

home. Dave Hill, chairman of the Baldwin City Economic Development Corporation

and president of Mid America Bank, made the application for the grant.

The $200,000 for incentives is now gone, and some fear the newhome boomlet with it. At a work session scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday at the Baldwin City American Legion Hall, 803 High St., Baldwin City Council members will discuss two proposals meant to incentivize new-home starts. No decisions will be made at the work session, which is open to the public.

One proposal to be

discussed would have the city recreate the down payment incentive grant by having the city provide $10,000 for use toward the down payment on a newly constructed home.

Baldwin City Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Hank Booth said he envisioned the incentive could lead to 10 to 15 new-home starts a year in the $150,000 to $250,000 price range.

The proposal would also be an incentive for owners of large lots on the city’s edge to open

The city’s payback from additional property taxes would be eight years, which Pearse said was too long for the investment.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Kansas casino competitors make final attempt to stop project Topeka (ap) — Cherokee County and two casino developers presented legal challenges to the Kansas Supreme Court for a state-owned casino as a final attempt to stop the high-stakes project.

The state’s Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board chose a $70 million Pittsburg facility called Kansas Crossing

in June 2015 when considering three proposals to build a casino, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

Wichita entrepreneurs Brandon and Rodney Steven, along with Cherokee County commissioners, filed lawsuits to try and block the casino. They appealed to the Supreme Court after a Shawnee County judge dismissed

the suits. Attorneys for the Stevens and Cherokee County said the gaming board sided with Kansas Crossing without properly determining why.

“There are literally hundreds of millions of dollars at risk,” attorney William Sampson said.

The Stevens had also proposed a casino

to the gaming board called Castle Rock, further south in Cherokee County. Sampson argued that the gaming board didn’t explain its determination that Castle Rock’s proposal was unfeasible.

Multiple justices disagreed with Sampson, saying the gaming board explained it was concerned about Castle

Rock’s viability. The Stevens’ proposal was deemed less viable than Kansas Crossing, which justices said is why it was picked.

Developers said Wednesday that more than 200 people have been offered jobs at Kansas Crossing, which is expected to open in March.

Pittsburg Mayor John Ketterman said residents

are excited for the casino to open.

“The delay which was sought by this lawsuit would not only be a severe economic hit for years, but also would be a disastrous setback to the spirits of southeast Kansans who need this project after the many unanticipated challenges we’ve faced recently,” Ketterman said.

plan, the Douglas County Commission and Baldwin school board would decide if those taxing entities would participate in the rebate program.

By statute, municipalities must define revitalization areas within their boundaries and the proposed plan must be presented at a public hearing.

If both the proposed programs were approved, buyers of newly constructed homes would have their choice of using one of the incentives.

Booth said it was the BCEDC’s hope that at least one of the incentives was approved. The city badly needs newhome starts and affordable housing of singlefamily homes, duplexes and apartments, he said.

There also are currently fewer than 15 lots in the community available for development, he said.

“Last year, we had the bounce house, food trucks and entertainment,” he said. “We want to try to grow that and open it up to a more community type thing.

I really think the community should be aware of the history of the town we live in. The more we know about the history of the place we live in, the more involved people will be.”

The plan is to create a Friday and Saturday festival that celebrates the community’s cultural heritage, Reazin said. He said he already has approached representatives of Haskell Indian Nations University about participating in the event, and they have an interest in having an American Indian dance demonstration and a food booth with flatbread and other foods. Eudora’s German heritage would also be celebrated, he said.

The plan is to have a formal dedication of the service in the second or third week of February, he said.

cost of new construction or reinvestment in existing properties. The rebates can equal all or a percentage of a property owner’s investments.

The rebates can be available for up to 10 years.

In a report shared two years ago with the Baldwin City Council, then-community development director Collin Bielser gave the example of a rebate available to the owner of newly constructed $200,000 home in a program that provides a 95 percent rebate on improvements.

As new construction, the entire value of the home would be considered an improvement and eligible for rebates. Using 2015 mill levies, Bielser figured rebates would total $30,210 during the 10 years the home was eligible.

The above example assumed the participation of Douglas County and the Baldwin school district in the neighborhood revitalization plan.

Robinson now has before her the ACLU’s motion for a partial summary judgment on its Fourth Amendment claim that the Kansas’ proof-of-citizenship law violates the right to travel because it places a discriminatory burden on the voting rights of citizens who come to Kansas from other states. l Also pending before Robinson is a related, earlier case filed on behalf of a Kansas voter challenging the state’s proof-of-citizenship law as unconstitutionally burdening the right to vote and the right to travel. Motions seeking a summary judgment have already been filed by both sides in that case.

The parties have asked the judge to hear oral arguments for a summary judgment together with the ACLU case because some arguments overlap. l A federal appeals court in September preliminarily blocked Kansas, Georgia and Alabama from requiring residents to prove they are U.S. citizens when registering to vote using a national form. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia sided with the League of Women Voters and other civil rights groups, returning it to the district court for a full hearing on the merits. But U.S. District Judge Richard Leon has yet to rule on languishing motions for summary judgment filed months ago.

Any rulings in all the cases are almost certain to be appealed.

GREAT WAR GR R 100 YEARS LATER

AMERICA’S ROAD TO WAR Thursday, Feb. 2 - 7 p.m.

When war broke out in Europe in 1914, the U.S. stood on the sidelines as President Wilson asked his fellow citizens to remain neutral “in thought as well as in deed.” Michael Neiberg, noted scholar and chair of war studies in the U.S. Army War College, introduces the 2017 Presidential Lecture Series, exploring the complex paths of politics, economics and cultural divisions that came together and brought America into the war in 1917.

The story of how the U.S.Army sought to transform itself over the course of 18 months into a comparable or superior military force to the European armies is grounded in irony. Richard Faulkner, professor with the U.S.Army Command and General Staff College, lays out how the American Expeditionary Forces played a pivotal role in the brutal campaigns that led to Germany’s defeat on the battlefield.

AMERICANS ALL: THE HOMEFRONT IN WORLD WAR I Thursday, Feb. 16 - 7 p.m.

Center CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

KU’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center, or SAPEC, marked its one-year anniversary this month.

That’s “too short of a time to really expect a culture shift. We’re looking to address attitudes, behaviors and beliefs,” Brockman said. “We are playing what we call the long game.”

A chancellor-appointed sexual assault task force that met throughout the 2014-15 school year named such a center one of its top priorities in its final report. KU announced plans for the center in October 2015, and a few months later Brockman was hired as its first director.

The center has had a busy first year. l For one, nearly 15,000 people have received training through the center, according to the center’s annual summary. More than 9,000 students, more than 1,000 employees and more than 4,800 community partners including KU parents participated in live trainings. l The center provided some 70 awareness events, has been active on social media and did a lot of collaborating with students and departments to develop all those trainings and programs in the first place, Brockman said. l The center’s many trainings have taken place at fraternities, sororities, student club meetings, a few KU classrooms, academic departments and also with all KU Athletics teams, Brockman said.

She said the center worked with teams to do most trainings in their

(One year is) too short of a time to really expect a culture shift. We’re looking to address attitudes, behaviors and beliefs. We are playing what we call the long game.”

— Jen Brockman, director of KU’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center

off-seasons. In addition to SAPEC’s small group “training camps,” Brockman said coaches and athletes helped choose other trainings for their respective groups, such as consent, bystander intervention or healthy relationships. l The center also developed KU’s mandatory online sexual assault prevention training, in its first year. The training, called “Think About It,” was chosen after KU focus groups reviewed four national online programs, Brockman said.

All students are required to complete the training — or face a registration hold — unless they have been affected by trauma and feel the training would negatively affect them, Brockman said.

Those students can sign up to take an alternative program through KU’s CARE coordinator at Watkins Health Services.

Last semester, 20 students did that, Brockman said, and about half of them continued working with the CARE coordinator for other resources.

The center now is up to its full staff of three fulltime employees and one

part-time employee.

Last summer, two prevention educators joined Brockman. One is Dustin Struble, formerly with KU’s Student Involvement and Leadership Center, whose work focuses on bystander intervention and men’s engagement. The other is Meagan Collins, who focuses on healthy relationships and consent.

SAPEC also has a parttime intern, a graduate student employee, who focuses on data analysis and assessment.

The center’s total budget is about $240,000, Brockman said. Most is from the chancellor’s office budget, with some from KU’s student affairs budget, she said.

A small amount, about $3,000 a year, is grant funded.

With the center staffed and organized and with key programs developed, Brockman said a big goal for coming years is finding more outside funding.

“My goal is to secure private and public grants that would help our program grow and sustain, and doing so in a way that does not compromise or negatively impact our community base,” she said.

Brockman believes her center can make a difference.

She said it’s important for her center’s educational work to be done in tandem with proper policies and procedures for when an assault does occur. In addition to Watkins Health Center, SAPEC does works with other units at KU, such as Student Affairs and the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access.

“Prevention is the method that will stem the flow of violence and create this cultural change,” Brockman said. “If all we’re doing is responding, then we’re never affecting it happening in the first place.”

Gun decisions A bill in the Kansas Senate that would allow local entities to ban guns is wise from the standpoint of both security and finances.

P

ublic entities in Kansas should retain the leeway to determine if concealed handguns should be banned from their facilities. Senate Bill 53 would allow this and should be approved.

In 2013, lawmakers approved a bill requiring that concealed weapons be allowed in most public buildings unless the building is equipped with adequate security to ensure that nobody can bring a weapon inside.

Public colleges and universities, along with cities and counties and other public entities, were allowed to exempt themselves from that law for four years. The exemption expires July 1. Senate Bill 53 repeals the expiration date, effectively leaving the exemption in place indefinitely.

The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee held a hearing on the bill on Thursday and a standing room only crowd turned out to speak, mostly in favor of Senate Bill 53. Most of the supporters were from Kansas colleges and universities.

“I am in full support of this bill because I don’t want to get shot,” said Megan Jones, a graduate student and instructor at the University of Kansas. “I don’t want to watch someone else get shot. I don’t want to wonder if a guy sitting in my classroom is pulling out a cellphone or a firearm.”

Jones is right. It’s hard to fathom how the KU campus is made safer by allowing students and faculty to carry guns to class and inside other buildings on campus.

Travis Couture-Lovelady, a former Republican state representative who is now a lobbyist for the National Rifle Association, testified Thursday against Senate Bill 53, saying that current law is a compromise, allowing public entities to enforce a ban by implementing adequate security at public buildings to ensure no weapons can get inside. He said public entities have had four years to come up with a plan.

But Couture-Lovelady ignores the cost of implementing such security measures.

City Manager Tom Markus has already said it would be cost prohibitive to implement security equipment and/or personnel at the approximately 50 public buildings the city oversees. Imagine how costly such security would be for KU buildings.

And given that the cash-strapped state of Kansas has been in cut-and-slash mode the past four years, the concealed carry law amounts to an unfunded mandate for public agencies that want to reasonably restrict where guns can be carried.

Though colleges and universities were the most outspoken Thursday, several other organizations support Senate Bill 53, including the League of Kansas Municipalities, the Kansas Association of Counties and the Kansas Hospital Association.

That’s a pretty strong lineup of supporters. Such deep support will be needed to take on the lobbying strength of the NRA. Senate Bill 53 makes sense financially and it makes sense from a security standpoint. It should be approved.

TODAY IN HISTORY On Jan. 29, 1820, King George III, the British monarch whose 59-year reign included the loss of the American colonies, died at Windsor Castle at age 81; he was succeeded by his son, who became King George IV. l In 1845, Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The Raven” was first published in the New York Evening Mirror. l In 1861, Kansas became the 34th state of the Union. l In 1919, the ratification of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, which launched Prohibition, was certified by Acting Secretary of State Frank L. Polk. l In 1936, the first inductees of baseball’s Hall of Fame, including Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth, were named in Cooperstown, N.Y. l In 1964, Stanley Kubrick’s nuclear war satire “Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” premiered in New York, Toronto and London.

Appalling behavior as a child dies A few thoughts on the lonely death of Naika Venant.

As you may have heard, Naika, a Miami teenager, hanged herself in the dark hours of a Sunday morning.

She did this live on Facebook. We’ll likely never know why she chose to do it that way. Perhaps she felt invisible. Perhaps she wanted to be seen.

Her self-destruction drew attention, all right, but surely not the kind she wanted.

To read the report by The Miami Herald’s Carol Marbin Miller and Alex Harris is to cringe with disgust: “A thousand people watched for nearly an hour as Naika Venant prepared to kill herself. They kept watching for another hour as the 14-year-old dangled on her scarf from the shower door in the bathroom of her Miami Gardens foster home.

“People mocked the young girl, called her names and reacted to the video with Facebook’s laughing emoji, said Antonio Gethers, one of her 4,500 Facebook friends. Others posted cruel parody videos pretending to hang themselves, too.”

The bleak despair and dead-end hope that cause people to take their lives is,

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

That behavior speaks to moral stupidity, to the objectification of other people and their pain, to a selfish inability to extend compassion beyond the barricades of one’s own life.” unfortunately, all too familiar. And those feelings can be magnified dangerously in adolescence, an age where all emotions are outsized, all passions urgent and raw.

Factor in that she was a survivor of physical abuse and sexual assault, and it becomes depressingly easy to imagine the forces that drove Naika to destroy herself.

It is less easy to understand why that act was received the way it was.

The harsh laughter and cold ridicule of “people” — the word is used advisedly — who watched Naika’s suicide suggest that we flatter ourselves when we call ourselves a higher species. Apparently, only one individual tried to help; a friend saw the live feed and called police, but inadvertently sent them to the wrong address.

By the time it got sorted out, Naika was beyond saving.

Miami-Dade schools chief Alberto Carvalho blames Facebook for what happened, which is as understandable as it is misguided.

Might as well blame the sidewalk where Kitty Genovese was killed in 1964 as she screamed for help that didn’t come. Or the Golden Gate Bridge, where a 2006 documentary, “The Bridge,” shows passersby passing by without intervening as people climb up on the ledge, preparing to jump. Or the walkway behind a Salem, N.J., McDonald’s where a young mother was brutally beaten in 2014 while observers laughed and recorded it on their cellphones.

Facebook is an easy target, but it is not the web service whose behavior is appalling here. It is, rather, the ordinary people, the ev-

eryday Janes and Joes who could have acted to save this child, but did not. One is mindful of what’s called “the bystander effect,” which, according to Psychology Today, “occurs when the presence of others hinders an individual from intervening in an emergency situation.”

But that doesn’t explain the laughter. It does not make sense of the mocking derision of a troubled child.

No, that behavior speaks to moral stupidity, to the objectification of other people and their pain, to a selfish inability to extend compassion beyond the barricades of one’s own life. All of which have come to feel far too commonplace. It cries out for families, worship houses and schools to rededicate themselves to teaching what it means to be a truly human being. That would be a good way to give meaning to this tragedy.

It’s haunting to think Naika might have killed herself on Facebook hoping to be seen.

Yes, a thousand people watched her die. Then they clicked their browsers to see what else was on.

An excess of intellectual emptiness Washington — In 2013, a college student assigned to research a deadly substance sought help via Twitter: “I can’t find the chemical and physical properties of sarin gas someone please help me.” An expert at a security consulting firm tried to be helpful, telling her that sarin is not gas. She replied, “yes the [expletive] it is a gas you ignorant [expletive]. sarin is a liquid & can evaporate ... shut the [expletive] up.”

“

Much attention has been given to the noncollege-educated voters who rallied to Trump. Insufficient attention is given to the role of the college miseducated.”

Tom Nichols, professor at the U.S. Naval War College and the Harvard Extension School, writing in The Chronicle Review, says such a “storm of outraged ego” is an increasingly common phenomenon among students who, having been taught to regard themselves as peers of their teachers, “take correction as an insult.” Nichols relates this to myriad intellectual viruses thriving in academia. Carried by undereducated graduates, these viruses infect the nation’s civic culture.

Soon the results include the presidential megaphone being used to amplify facially preposterous assertions, e.g., that upward of 5 million illegal votes were cast in 2016. A presidential minion thinks this assertion is justified because it is the president’s “long-standing belief.”

“College, in an earlier time,” Nichols writes, “was supposed to be an uncomfortable experience because growth is always a challenge,” replacing youthful simplicities with adult complexities. Today, college involves the “pampering of students as customers,”

particularly by grade inflation in a context of declining academic rigor: A recent study showed “A” to be the most commonly awarded grade, 30 percent more frequent than in 1960. And a 2011 University of Chicago study found that 45 percent of students said that in the previous semester none of their courses required more than 20 pages of writing and 32 percent had no class that required more than 40 pages of reading in a week.

“Unearned praise and hollow successes,” Nichols says, “build a fragile arrogance in students that can lead them to lash out at the first teacher or employer who dispels that illusion, a habit that carries over into a resistance to believe anything inconvenient or challenging in adulthood.” A habit no doubt intensified when adults in high places speak breezily of “alternative facts.”

“Rather than disabuse students of their intellectual solipsism,” Nichols says, “the modern university reinforces it,” producing students given to “taking offense at everything while believing anything.” Many colleges and universities, competing for tuition dollars “too often drawn thoughtlessly from an inexhaustible well of loans,” market a “college experience” rather than an education. The experience “turns into five and, increasingly, six [years].” Nichols notes that “the fragility of 21st-century students” re-

sults from “the swaddling environment of the modern university” that “infantilizes students” who demand “trigger warnings” and “safe spaces.”

Much attention has been given to the noncollegeeducated voters who rallied to Trump. Insufficient attention is given to the role of the college miseducated.

They, too, are complicit in our current condition because they emerged from their expensive “college experiences” neither disposed nor able to conduct civil, informed arguments. They are thus disarmed when confronted by political people who consider evidence, data and reasoning to be mere conveniences and optional.

For all the talk in high places about emancipating the many from “the elites,” political philosopher Walter Berns was right: The question always is not whether elites will govern but which elites will. And a republic’s challenge is to increase the likelihood that the many will consent to governance by worthy elites. So, how is our republic doing?

What is most alarming about the president and his accomplices in the dissemination of factoids is not that they do not know this or that. And it is not that they do not know what they do not know. Rather, it is that they do not know what it is to know something.

The republican form of government rests on representation: The people do

not decide issues, they decide who will decide. Who, that is, will conduct the deliberations that “refine and enlarge” public opinion (Madison, Federalist 10).

This system of filtration is vitiated by a plebiscitary presidency, the occupant of which claims a direct, unmediated, almost mystical connection with “the people.”

Soon, presidential enablers, when challenged about their employer’s promiscuous use of “alternative facts,” will routinely use last week’s “justification” of the illegal voting factoid: It is the president’s “long-standing belief,” so there. In his intellectual solipsism, he, too, takes correction as an insult. He resembles many of his cultured despisers in the academy more than he or they realize.

NATIONAL FORECAST

Topeka (ap) — Kansas health officials say the flu is spreading across the state.

The state health department says six outbreaks have been confirmed so far during the 2016-17 flu season — two in Leavenworth County and one each in Osage, Harvey, Cherokee and Saline counties.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Via Christi and Wesley Healthcare in Wichita have both seen an increase in the flu, with a 50 percent increase at Wesley Healthcare since the same period last year.

Health officials say it’s not too late to get the flu vaccine because the disease might spread for two to three more months.

The health department says Influenza or pneumonia contributed to or was the direct cause of 903 deaths of Kansas residents during the 2015-16 flu season.

Payless to lay off 110 Topeka employees Topeka (ap) — Payless ShoeSource has announced plans to lay off 165 people, 110 of whom work at locations in Topeka.

Spokeswoman Meghan Spreer tells The Topeka Capital-Journal that the positions are in corporate, distribution center and field leadership roles.

She says the layoffs make up about 2 percent of the company’s total associate base.

Payless’ headquarters are located in

Topeka. GO Topeka and Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce leader Matt Pivarnik says that the community feels “the pain of these cutbacks,” but GO Topeka is ready to assist laid off workers in several ways.

Pivarnik says the competition from the industry can “lead to tough decisions.” Spreer says these types of decisions are necessary for Payless to keep up in an evolving retail environment.

Kansas seeks citizenship proof from longtime voter Wichita (ap) — Attorney David Morantz has turned to Twitter to raise the public alarm after getting a notice from Johnson County election officials telling him he needed to submit proof of citizenship to register to vote.

He tweeted a copy of it, asking “What’s up with this,” and noting he has been a registered Kansas voter since 2002.

The county election office tweeted back Thursday telling him to disregard the letter, saying it was mailed in error.

Deputy Election Commissioner Debbie Tyrrel says it was a data-entry error that affected only Morantz.

Morantz says he has real concerns about what he calls “anti-voter laws,” adding he wanted to alert others who got similar letters.

The county has been sending out notices to people telling them to submit citizenship documents to complete registrations.

WASHINGTON President Trump and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin spoke by phone Saturday and agreed to establish “real coordination” to “crush ISIS and other terrorist groups in Syria,” the Kremlin said, referring to the Islamic State.

The White House put out a short statement on the onehour phone call, saying it “ranged in topics from mutual cooperation in defeating ISIS to efforts in working together to achieve more peace throughout the world including Syria.”

It added that “the positive call was a significant start to improving the relationship between the United States and Russia that is in need of repair.”

President Trump connects Saturday with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

USA TODAY

President Trump’s ban on immigration by citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries ran into at least a temporary roadblock Saturday night, after a U.S. District judge in Brooklyn granted an emergency stay sought by immigrants’ rights lawyers.

The judge’s ruling applies to those who have already arrived in the U.S. and those who are in transit who hold valid visas.

The decision halts part of Trump’s executive order, which barred citizens from those seven countries for the next 90 days.

The Department of Homeland Security said that by Saturday evening, its agents had stopped 109 foreigners at U.S. airports based on Trump’s order and prevented another 173 people from boarding flights v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Cooperation with Russia in Syria would represent a break with current policy and create a rift among GOP foreign policy leaders. Sen. John McCain, R.Ariz., on Friday warned Trump against cooperating too closely with Putin, whom he accused of propping up a “murderous regime” in Syria. Word of warming relations also comes after the U.S. intelligence concluded the Russians meddled in the presidential election.

The Kremlin’s statement said nothing about reports that Trump is considering lifting sanctions on Russia. McCain also warned Trump not to ease up on sanctions, saying he would work in Congress to give them the force of law.

Fans try to predict Supreme Court pick at fantasy site Colorado judge is in lead to be new justice Richard Wolf @richardjwolf USA TODAY

Before the last time a Supreme Court seat was filled, court watchers and legal beavers visiting the “FantasySCOTUS” website correctly predicted it would be Elena Kagan.

If the survey proves prescient again, Colorado’s Neil Gorsuch could be President Trump’s guy.

WASHINGTON

Gorsuch, 49, who sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, has led a field of 22 potential nominees listed. At last count, he had 649 votes to 512 for Alabama’s more controversial William Pryor, the early favorite among conservatives and cognoscenti.

The Supreme Court nerds who frequent FantasySCOTUS aren’t as impressed with the other two potential finalists: Michigan’s Raymond Kethledge is in eighth place with 160 votes; Pennsylvania’s Thomas Hardiman is 10th with 91.

“I was shocked that Judge Gorsuch shot up so quickly at the

outset,” says Josh Blackman, a South Texas College of Law professor who founded the online prediction market in 2009. “I think this is one case where the ‘wisdom of the crowds’ actually identified the leading candidate long before everyone else.”

FantasySCOTUS allows attorneys, law students and others to predict how justices will vote on cases pending before the high court.

Winners and prizes are announced at the end of each term.

The chance to guess who will fill a vacancy has come around only once since the site was created.

That was in 2010, when Presi-

dent Obama chose Kagan, then the U.S. solicitor general and a former Harvard Law School dean, to replace retiring Justice John Paul Stevens.

Voters on the site were way ahead of Obama, predicting early that Kagan would outpace other potential nominees — including federal appeals court Judge Merrick Garland, who got the nod after Justice Antonin Scalia’s death last year but was blocked by Senate Republicans.

“These are not random people on the street,” Blackman, 32, says of the thousands who participate on FantasySCOTUS. “They’re people who follow this closely.”

Syrian children play in the snow in the Deir Zeinoun refugee camp in eastern Lebanon on Saturday. President Trump has issued a temporary ban on all immigrants from Syria.

Can Trump legally block new refugees?

Oren Dorell and Alan Gomez l USA TODAY

President Trump suspended the U.S. refugee program for 120 days, banned immigrants from seven Muslim nations for 90 days and ordered his administration to develop “extreme vetting” measures for immigrants from those countries to keep “radical Islamic terrorists” out of the U.S. The order, signed Friday, bars all Syrians from entering the U.S., and gives preference in admission to Christians.

What’s the How many Q Q difference between refugees has the immigrants and refugees?

U.S. admitted in the past?

Immigrants come from other countries to the U.S. for a variety of personal reasons, such as seeking a better life. Refugees are a special class of immigrants who seek asylum from war, persecution and other risks to their safety. They have protected status under international law.

Q

Who are the refugees admitted to the U.S. in 2016?

Most of the 85,000 refugees admitted in 2016 came from countries that are at war or under the control of repressive governments. Top admissions from Africa came from the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo (16,370) and Somalia (9,020).

From East Asia, most came from Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, (12,347). The greatest number of Europeans came from Ukraine (2,543), which is at war with Russian-backed irregular troops in the east. Colombians (529) fleeing an insurgency topped the list from South America, and Syrians (12,587) and Iraqis (9,880) fleeing civil war and terrorist groups topped the list from the Near East and South Asia.

Please indicate whether you’re responding to content online or in the newspaper.

Total U.S. refugee admissions have dropped steadily from 146,158 in 1975, when 135,000 came from Asia, according to the State Department.

Does Trump have Q the legal authority to block refugees and

other immigrants?

He might on security grounds. A president has the power to shut down the refugee program without approval from Congress. Federal law allows the president to bar entry to any immigrant “or any class” of immigrants if he deems them “detrimental to the interests of the United States,” and to “impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate,” according to the law.

How many immigrants Q does the U.S. admit, and how many from the seven

countries on Trump’s list?

The State Department issued 617,752 immigrant visas and 10,891,745 non-immigrant (tourist and worker) visas in 2016. One out of 20 immigrant visas — roughly 30,000 — went to people from the seven majority Muslim countries cited by the president: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen.

How are refugees Q now vetted?

The State Department says it

has the most exhaustive background system in the world.

Refugees are first interviewed in their home countries and their backgrounds are checked carefully during a process that can take up to two years. Some refugees worked for the U.S. military in Iraq as translators or in other jobs and are seeking asylum for fears of being singled out for their association with the U.S. government.

Why a total ban Q on Syrians?

Syria is a concern because the

Islamic State militant group that is behind terrorist acts around the world still operates in the country. About 11 million Syrians — half of the population — have been displaced.

“The impact of what President Trump was looking for is in full effect.

Complete chaos.”

Abed Ayoud, legal and policy director, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee

“It’s working out very nicely.

We’re going to have a strict ban, and we’re going to have extreme vetting, which we should have had in this country for many years,” he said.

Speaking to hundreds of demonstrators at JFK Airport, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., called the ban ineffective, discriminatory, “disgusting,” and said it “goes against every ounce of our traditions from George Washington onward.”

“We are here to say it should be stopped and be revoked,” he said.

Hameed Khaldi Darweesh, who was a translator for American forces for 10 years, was detained overnight at JFK along with 11 others following his arrival from Istanbul. After being released Saturday, Darweesh said he had feared he would be sent back to Iraq, which his family fled because of death threats.

When asked by reporters outside the airport what he thought of Trump, Darweesh said, “I don’t know. He’s a president, I’m a normal person.”

He said he was focused instead on the lawyers who won his release. “This is the soul of America,” Darweesh said. “This is what pushed me to move, to leave my country and come here. America is the land of freedom.”

Who are the Syrians Why did he single out Q admitted to the U.S.?

Q those seven countries?

Three of them — Iran, Sudan The State Department says the

and Syria — comprise the State Department’s list of state sponsors of terrorism. The other four — Iraq, Libya, Somalia and Yemen — are designated “terrorist safe havens” by the State Department.

Have any refugees Q from those countries recently committed

PRESIDENT AND PUBLISHER

the Pulse nightclub in Orlando last June, was a U.S.-born Afghan-American who’d traveled to Saudi Arabia in recent years.

And Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, the married couple who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, Calif., on Dec. 2, 2015, also had no ties to those seven countries. Farook was born in the U.S. to Pakistani immigrants, and his wife was a recent arrival from Saudi Arabia, which Farook had visited.

headed for the U.S. After U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly granted the stay, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which had filed suit to block Trump’s ban, issued a one-word celebratory tweet: “Victory!!!!!!”

Trump’s executive order, signed Friday, suspends the entry of all refugees to the U.S. for 120 days, halts admission of refugees from Syria indefinitely and bars entry for three months to residents from the predominantly Muslim countries of Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

A senior Homeland Security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the department quickly overhauled its screening procedures after Trump signed the order Friday.

The department issued new guidance to its Customs and Border Protection officers in the field and adjusted its computerized targeting system to identify people who are barred entry through the executive order.

The official said the order allowed legal permanent residents — known as green-card holders — and foreigners who were granted special visas for Iraqi and Afghan interpreters, to enter after undergoing a full background check and in-person interview. The official said 81 people made it through that process and were allowed to enter the country.

In Virginia, another federal judge issued a temporary restraining order Saturday night, directing the Department of Homeland Security to allow lawyers to meet with legal permanent residents detained at Washington Dulles International Airport. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema forbade Homeland Security from deporting any of the green-card holders for seven days.

“President Trump never gave a second thought to how his discriminatory, un-American order would actually play out on the ground,” Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring said after the judge’s ruling.

Karen Tumlin, legal director for the National Immigration Law Center, which was part of the suit in New York, said the lawyers were “tremendously relieved” by the judge’s stay. But she said the legal team was quickly moving to free the immigrants who remained in U.S Customs and Border Protection custody Saturday night based on Trump’s executive order.

She challenged the DHS numbers, calling them “alternative facts.”

“We have 50 Iranian greencard holders being held from

one single flight at (Los Angeles International Airport),” Tumlin said. “It doesn’t add up.”

The fallout from the president’s temporary ban struck with full force earlier Saturday, blocking some travelers from boarding their planes overseas, compelling others to turn around upon arrival in the U.S., and prompting customs agents at New York’s JFK Airport to detain at least a dozen people, including a former Iraqi translator for the U.S. military in Baghdad.

The growing chaos sparked legal challenges, airport protests, condemnations from politicians and denunciations from advocacy groups.

The reverberations began only hours after Trump signed the executive order Friday. In brief remarks while signing his latest executive orders Saturday, Trump maintained the order isn’t a “Muslim ban.”

terrorist acts in the U.S.?

No. The two major U.S. terrorist attacks that occurred in 2015 and 2016 involved people with ties to countries not on that list: Omar Mateen, who killed 49 people at

vast majority of the 12,587 admitted last year are women and children, and only 2% are single young men who are most likely to commit terrorist acts.

Can Trump block Q or favor refugees based on their religion?

Legal experts say a ban on Muslim immigrants rather than a ban on immigrants from specific countries that have Muslim majorities would be challenged based on the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of religion.

jor aspects of the Ukrainian crisis,” and “possible dates and venue of their personal meeting.”

The two agreed to “maintain regular personal contacts.”

Russia boosted its military support to the regime in Syria in 2015 after it appeared rebels trying to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad were threatening his hold on power. Moscow claimed that its airstrikes in Syria were aimed at terrorists. The White House, State Department and Pentagon maintained that Russian attacks primarily target-

ed moderate opponents of Assad and not the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, and alQaeda-linked terrorists.

The Pentagon and Russian military have established communication links to prevent accidents between warplanes. The Pentagon has stressed that this effort does not indicate cooperation with the Russian military.

McCain labeled Putin a “murderer and a thug” and said he would “never be our partner, including in fighting ISIL.” “Russia has propped up the murderous Assad regime as it has waged war on the Syrian people

and killed more than 400,000 civilians,” McCain said in a statement. Citing Russian aggression in Ukraine and its threats to NATO, McCain urged Trump to end speculation about lifting sanctions, calling it a “reckless course.”

The call with Putin and other world leaders capped off a dizzying nine-day stretch in which Trump appeared to be in perpetual motion, signing 15 executive actions, speaking to 11 world leaders, visiting three federal agencies and, on Friday, hosting British Prime Minister Theresa May. In addition to Putin, Trump

spoke Saturday with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President François Hollande. He was scheduled to speak with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Saturday night.

Trump also signed more executive orders: One to reorganize the National Security Council, another to strengthen ethics rules for the executive branch, and a third requesting the military to present him a plan to defeat the Islamic State. Not signed: an order to investigate alleged voter fraud in the 2016 campaign.

DRAWING A LINE ON IMMIGRATION President Trump spent much of his first week in office tackling immigration — legal and illegal.

Mom still wants birthday cards from adult kids Dear Annie: What should I do about my adult children’s birthdays? My birthday is Jan. 1. Most years, my children acknowledge it with a card, not just a text. This year, all I got were texts from them. I was very hurt. Their father’s birthday is later in the year, and they will buy him a gift plus a card.

May I just text them on their birthdays to reciprocate their behavior? Their father won’t remember to get a card, etc. I feel like giving to charities in their names for their birthdays.

Would that be OK? I’m in a pickle regarding what to do. — Birthday Blues Dear Birthday: First, happy belated birthday.

And shame on your children. The least they could have done was send a card. I’m guessing you’re such a giver that they take dear old Mom for granted.

Perhaps they need to be

Dear Annie

Annie Lane

dearannie@creators.com

reminded that you have feelings. Tell them — or have your husband tell them — that their actions (or lack thereof) hurt you.

As for what to do for their birthdays, giving to charity is always a great idea. Go for it. I dare them to complain.

Dear Annie: I am hoping this letter can help open the public’s eyes to the fact that kids, not just adults, can have mental illness issues. They often appear normal to others, and even their families

‘Black Sails’ still violent, convoluted The epic sailing ship and pirate adventure “Black Sails” (8 p.m., Starz, TV-MA) embarks on its fourth and final season. A sweeping tale of pirate conspiracies against the British crown and battles for control of Nassau and the riches of untold islands, ‘‘Black Sails’’ has always been a tad too convoluted and violent for my tastes.

But you can’t say that it’s not an expensive-looking production that delivers dramatic battle scenes rivaling any series or motion picture.

With ‘‘Taboo’’ on FX and ‘‘Frontier’’ on Netflix (by way of Discovery Canada), pirate shows are in vogue again. But neither have the production values of ‘‘Black Sails.’’

Bottom line: I find myself drawn into the spectacle but not carried away enough to want to follow the plot. Truth be told, I feel the same way about ‘‘Game of Thrones.’’

O It gets a tad boring pointing out all the dumb superstitious nonsense being passed off as ‘‘documentary’’ television. But then again, programmers keep making it.

You can waste 15 whole hours of your life watching a marathon of “Finding Bigfoot” (2 p.m. through 6 a.m. Monday, Animal Planet, TV14), or you can wise up and realize they will never find him.

My granddaughter has certain sensitivities and has been bothered in recent months by strangers coming up to her, and I want to remind everyone that under no circumstances should a stranger touch a child. We have encountered problems with this many times.

Before Halloween, I was at a pumpkin patch with my granddaughter.

The man selling pumpkins said to me, ‘’You can leave your granddaughter with me. We will carve a pumpkin, and you can come back and pick her up.’’ I politely said no. My granddaughter picked out a pumpkin, and he touched her on the arm.

We got in the car, and she was near tears, saying, ‘’He scared me, and he touched me. I will never

In a local mall, we were sitting in an eatery, when an older man came over and started asking about my daughter. My granddaughter was again upset by a stranger and thanked me for not telling him her name.

Self F a c ing four fantastic freshmen and one super sophomore in Kentucky blue, KU’s crew of two seniors, two juniors and one freshman rallied from a 12-point first-half hole to control most of the second half en route to the bragging-rights victory.

“I thought we showed extreme upperclassman leadership tonight,” KU coach Bill Self said after the win. “And I thought we played pretty tough.

But I told ’em it doesn’t mean anything if we don’t gather momentum from this and build off of it. I think our guys are really excited, not that we played great. I think they were excited because we didn’t play great and we fought through it and we ended up winning the game.”

Serena sets record in win over Venus Melbourne, Australia (ap) — Serena Williams held up a Grand Slam winner’s trophy for the 23rd time, celebrating her place in history, and received a congratulatory letter and a pair of custom-made shoes from Michael Jordan, the name most synonymous with No. 23.

Venus Williams got to watch from close range again, and shed tears more of joy than regret after being beaten in a major final for the seventh time by her record-breaking younger sister.

Serena won the all-Williams final, the ninth in Grand Slam history and the second in Australia, 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday night.

With her record seventh Australian Open title, Serena moved ahead of Steffi Graf for the most major titles in the Open era.

The Williams sisters are close. They started out playing together in Compton, Calif., hardly a hotbed for tennis, with their father Richard and mother

Oracene as coach and mentor.

And they still practice and travel together around the world.

They met for the first time at a major at Melbourne Park in 1998 — Venus won that one. In 2003, when the younger of the Williams siblings completed her “Serena Slam” of four consecutive titles, Venus was on the other side of the net. She didn’t reach another Australian final for 14 years.

When Serena sat on the court, holding both arms up to celebrate on Saturday, Venus walked over to her sister’s side of the net for a hug.

“This was a tough one,” Serena said. “I really would like to take this moment to congratulate Venus, she’s an amazing person — she’s my inspiration.

“There’s no way I would be at 23 without her — there’s no way I would be at one without AP Photo/Dita Alangkara her. Thank you Venus for inspiring me to be the best player SERENA WILLIAMS, LEFT, IS EMBRACED BY HER SISTER VENUS, right, I can be and inspiring me to after winning their women’s singles final at the Australian Open tennis championships in Melbourne, Australia, on Saturday. work hard.”

Warriors 144, Clippers 98 Oakland, Calif. — Stephen Curry scored 25 of his 43 points in the third quarter following his first halfcourt buzzer-beater of the season at the end of the first half to lead the Golden State Warriors to their ninth win in 10 games over the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night.

Curry’s 51-foot shot was the spark on a night that began with his playing status in doubt because of a sore left quad. After testing his leg in warmups, Curry was cleared to play and showed no signs of being slowed by the injury, hitting nine 3-pointers.

Kevin Durant added 23 points, and Klay Thompson had 16 to give Golden State its eighth straight win over its Southern California rival. Blake Griffin scored 20 points for the struggling Clippers. They have lost four of five since star point guard Chris Paul went down with a torn ligament in left thumb.

KU women earn first Big 12 win

By Evan Riggs eriggs@ljworld.com

Moments after the final buzzer, the Kansas bench erupted, and players on the court made a beeline to their bench to celebrate.

Finally, for the first time this season, it was the Jayhawks celebrating a win in the Big 12 Conference.

The Kansas women’s basketball team topped Texas Tech, 66-60, for its first Big 12 win of the season, and its first regular-season conference victory under second-year coach Brandon Schneider. It was KU’s first Big 12 win since March 2015.

“I just think it means that our players have not lost faith, and that they trust what we’re doing in practice every day, and (they) trust our staff,” Schneider said. “Most importantly, I think they trust each other.”

Junior Jessica Washington led the Jayhawks with 24 points, while sophomore Kylee Kopatich added 14 points.

The backcourt ensured the Jayhawks got off to a good start, as they combined for three 3-pointers to spark a 13-4 start in the first three minutes.

“I thought especially early in the game we moved the ball well against the zone,” Schneider said. “We played through the zone instead of around it. We created some good looks and some looks that we missed.”

Kansas (7-14, 1-9 in the Big 12) began to miss those looks after its quick start, and scored just two points over the next five minutes to end the quarter. The second quarter was more of the

But the Jayhawks stepped up on the defensive end, and as a result, they led 29-23 at halftime despite shooting just 30 percent in the first half. They held the Red Raiders to 33 percent shooting in the first half and forced eight turnovers.

Throughout the second half, KU’s defense continued to give the Red Raiders (11-9, 3-6) problems.

Entering Saturday’s game, the Red Raiders were ninth in the country in 3-point percentage, but they shot just 3-of-17 (18 percent) against the Jayhawks and turned the ball over 14 times.

“Today I thought we made fewer mistakes in terms of assignments,” Schneider said.

“I thought for the most part today our guys were really assignment correct and played to the scouting report.”

In the third quarter, the Jayhawks started to get to the basket

more often. Senior Sydney Umeri converted a three-point play to give the Jayhawks a 40-28 lead, and then fellow senior Caelynn ManningAllen scored on three consecutive possessions to open up a 17-point lead.

Manning-Allen had her best game of the season, scoring a seasonhigh 10 points with eight rebounds, including a season-high six offensive rebounds.

“It was definitely a confidence booster,” Manning-Allen said, “and just knowing that my team was behind me the whole step of the way makes it even better.”

Texas Tech rallied in the final minutes, but 3-pointers by Kopatich and Washington, as well as free throws from Washington was enough to for Kansas to hold on and end a nine-game losing streak.

“This win means a whole lot to our team,” Manning-Allen said, “and we’re extremely happy with what we’ve got (going).”

FIREBIRD WINTER CLASSIC

FSHS girls top Schlagle, take 3rd in tournament

By Shane Jackson sjackson@ljworld.com

A little over 13 hours after nearly pulling off an upset bid over the top team in the state, Wichita South, the Free State girls basketball team had to regroup against a very tough Kansas City (Kan.) Schlagle team.

Rather than fall victim to the quick turnaround, Free State handed Schlagle its second loss in as many days, with a 67-59 victory in the third-place game of the Firebird Winter Classic on Saturday at FSHS. It was certainly no easy task, considering the Stallions entered the tournament boasting a 9-0 record.

“It gave us a lot of motivation that we lost to a great team by five,” FSHS senior Madison Piper said. “We just had to get our legs back, which I’m really surprised we got our legs back that quickly. I think we played really well today.”

For the second straight day, Piper saw a gimmick defense in attempt to slow her down.

After being held to seven points on four shots in Friday’s loss, Piper notched a team-high 15 points on 11 attempts from the floor.

But eight of those 15 points came in the first quarter alone, when Schlagle matched up on the defensive end.

As a result, FSHS (8-

4) jumped out to a 14-7 advantage, and never trailed for one second in the opening period.

Then the Stallions started the second quarter with a box-and-one look, following Piper everywhere she went, which stymied their offensive attack. Moments later, junior Riana Lawson bottomed a 3-pointer at the 3:32 mark, to give Schlagle its first lead of the contest.

“We know teams are going to target Madison,” Free State coach Ted Juneau said. “I guarantee you Madison will do everything she can to help the team. People may look at her numbers and go, ‘Gosh, Madison isn’t scoring.’ But basketball isn’t about scoring. She will have her nights.”

The Firebirds responded well to their first and only deficit of the afternoon, going on a 13-2 run to close out the half. Jaelyn Two Hearts, Cameryn Thomas, Caely Kesten and Sam Lawrence all spearheaded the team’s statement run.

At one point during the stretch, Schlagle (10-2) even attempted a triangle-and-two with a defender chasing Two Hearts, who had 24 points on Friday night.

But whatever defensive set the Stallions threw at them, the Firebirds had an answer.

Five different players reached double figures in Saturday’s win.

“Everyone shared the

ball pretty well,” Juneau said. “(But) I challenged Cameryn. I told her ‘They are ignoring you.’ We have enough tools that junk defenses shouldn’t really do too much. The more they junk it up the better it is for us.”

Thomas responded to the challenge netting 11 points, including seven in the second half, as Free State held a comfortable lead for much of the second half.

Thomas knocked down five of her 12 shots from the floor. Lawrence posted 14 points as she went 6-of-8 for the game. Two Hearts added 13 points on 12 attempts, while Kesten rounded out the unit with 11 points.

“We always want to get everyone involved, if everyone is scoring then we know we are doing something right,” Thomas said.

Free State will play host to Olathe Northwest at 5:30 p.m. Friday.

points), Landen Lucas (13), Devonté Graham (12), Svi Mykhailiuk (8) and Josh Jackson (20 and 10 rebounds) combined to score all but five of KU’s points and played 168 of 200 minutes.

With NBA scouts in all corners of the building and Big Blue Nation roaring from start to finish, the Jayhawks (19-2 overall, 7-1 Big 12) and Wildcats (17-4 overall, 7-1 SEC) put on a show that lived up to the sensational hype that preceded Saturday’s blue blood battle of the two winningest programs in college basketball history.

The game’s opening minutes featured a dose of just about everything analysts, fans and the players and coaches themselves expected.

Both teams played fast.

Kentucky, which missed its first five shots before scoring, pounded it inside to Bam Adebayo (10 points, 8 rebounds) repeatedly. And the pregame atmosphere featured a lot of noise, hype and excitement. Kansas led in the early going but quickly found the game slipping away when the Wildcats unleashed a 13-2 run midway through the first half to build a 10-point lead.

“I thought this could get ugly really fast,” Self admitted after the game.

“I thought it was already ugly.... We didn’t shoot it at all, we played tight and they had all the momentum.”

But a strategic call from the KU bench, moving from man-to-man defense to a 2-3 zone slowed the game down and paved the way for the Jayhawks to crawl back into it. Despite trailing 29-17 with 4:58 to play in the first half, the Jayhawks trailed by just five — 32-27 — at the break thanks to that zone defense and a 10-3 run to close the first half.

“There’s not gonna be any educational tapes on that zone tonight,” Self said. “But I do think we played it pretty well. It helped us. We would not have won the game unless we switched up.”

KANSAS GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM (4) PUTS UP A 3-POINTER DURING THE FIRST HALF of KU’s 79-73 victory over Kentucky on Saturday at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky. Added Mason of the switch to zone: “Hopefully we don’t have to do that moving forward because we take pride in playing man-to-man, but whatever helps us get the win, we’re willing to do.”

With momentum resting in the Kansas locker room, the Jayhawks regrouped and started the second half with a statement. Backto-back 3-pointers from Josh Jackson, who has hit 8-of-14 from 3-point range in the past three games, gave Kansas its first lead since 8-7 and helped return the swagger to the Kansas bench.

“We went down 12 points at one time, but we all had it in our heads that we were gonna come back,” Jackson said.

For the next several minutes, the teams battled back and forth, with Kentucky maintaining a slim lead and Kansas charging hard. Lucas’ tipin with 12:55 to play put KU back on top and, from

there, Kansas trailed just one more time.

Jackson was a big reason for that. Not only did the freshman from Detroit outshine all of Kentucky’s brightest stars, he also delivered his best in the game’s biggest moments and recorded his fifth double-double of the season.

A tip-in of his own miss put KU back up one with 7:15 to play and his offensive rebound and put-back with 1:09 to play gave Kansas a seven-point lead.

“I thought he was really good tonight,” Self said of Jackson. “I thought he got his hands on loose balls, he rebounded great, the offensive rebound, put-back late was a huge play. And to me, he’s a complete basketball player. He’s one of the few guys out there that can do a little bit or a lot of everything.”

Added freshman forward Mitch Lightfoot, who played just four minutes while spelling Lucas:

“Wow. He just showed you guys why he’s gonna be a top-5 pick in the (NBA) draft. There’s no doubt about that. He’s an amazing player.”

Even though the Kentucky faithful started filing out with around 2:00 remaining, the Jayhawks made things interesting down the stretch, allowing the Wildcats to trim a 69-59 KU lead with 4:41 to play all the way to four, 77-73, with 19.2 seconds remaining.

But Mykhailiuk’s two free throws with 16 seconds to play pushed the margin back to six and Kentucky’s final attempts to crawl closer fell short.

Those free throws and a pair by Graham 36 seconds earlier proved to be just enough on another poor-shooting free throw night by the Jayhawks.

“Neither team shot free throws worth a flip,” said Self, whose team finished 10-of-18 from the stripe, just three percentage points worse than Kentucky’s 13-of-

22 effort. “I mean, we could’ve won the game easily or they could’ve probably won the game if either team could step up to the line and make free throws.”

True as that may have been, Saturday’s game was not about free throws. It was about stars and hype, play makers and big moments. And the Jayhawks, thanks to all of that experience, had just a few more than the Wildcats on this night.

“It helped us a lot to come in here and get a win against a great team, great program. The tradition is great here,” Mason said. “Just for all the guys to come here and experience that will help us a lot moving forward when it really matters.”

Added Lightfoot, still in awe of what his teammates did to will Kansas to victory: “They’re great and all, but I have Frank Mason, Devonté Graham and Josh Jackson. That’s kind of hard to match.”

“Just being in the right spots,” Coleby said. “He’s been playing so long, so he’s one of the best sealers there is, so he knows how to get angles, just knows how to be in the right spot.

I’m always asking him how he does it, because I’m trying to learn how to do it, too.”

Intimidation doesn’t enter Lucas’ world because he has spent the past five years battling more athletic and skilled basketball players daily in practice. Jeff Withey and Joel Embiid blocked his shots. Perry Ellis tied up his feet with fancy footwork.

McDonald’s All-American Cliff Alexander came on board to keep Lucas on the bench, but by the end of the season, when Alexander was suspended, Lucas started.

A year later, Cheick Diallo, MVP of the McDonald’s game and so much faster and bouncier, was sure to plant Lucas right back on the bench. Didn’t even come close to happening.

Good luck trying to find an event at a track meet in which Lucas could defeat Jamari Traylor, but Lucas eventually beat him out too.

Hunter Mickelson had a much more natural knack for blocking shots and far more range as a shooter.

He sat and watched Lucas play his spot.

Azubuike showed seri-

ous promise until a wrist injury knocked him out of the season in December.

Not to worry, one more McDonald’s AllAmerican stood taller in the talent department, but Carlton Bragg Jr. didn’t make the trip and has been suspended indefinitely.

Lucas helped Kansas give John Calipari just his sixth loss in 135 games in Rupp Arena (Bill Self is 132-3 in his last 135

Allen Fieldhouse games) and when Calipari sent praise KU’s way, you could see plays made by Jackson and Lucas dancing in his head.

“We don’t normally lose here, but Kansas, you got to give them credit,” Calipari said.

“They came in here and all the plays they had to make in the second half, even when we made a run to make it close again, they were effort plays, too. They were tip-

NOTEBOOK

KU stays focused in spite of issues

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Lexington, Ky. — It was a wild and taxing week for the Kansas men’s basketball team, which lost for just the second time all season and endured a string of off-the-court news that threatened to steal the team’s focus.

But the week ended with the second-ranked Jayhawks walking into hostile Rupp Arena on Saturday night and walking away with a thrilling, 79-73 victory over No. 4 Kentucky.

“I thought it was great,” said KU coach Bill Self when asked about his team’s focus. “I think our focus was pretty good (Friday), too. When some things hit, it, obviously, is a punch in the gut and, naturally, you’re gonna be distracted. But I think our guys feel good about each other and I was really proud of ‘em.

“That (off the court stuff is) not gonna go away immediately. But it’s nothing for these players to hang their heads about.

The train doesn’t stop moving. You still gotta do your job and perform and nobody cares what the excuses are. I’ll deal with that more than anybody else. That responsibility’s on my shoulders and not theirs.”

Noticeably giddy when the final horn sounded on the season’s second win over one of college basketball’s traditional powers, the Jayhawks themselves said their minds were fixed on basketball and little else from the moment they woke up on Saturday until the time they left Rupp Arena.

“We forgot about that until you just asked,” said senior point guard Frank Mason III in a matter-offact manner. “Coach tells us (to) focus on the things we can control, and I think we do a pretty good job with that, and we just have to do that moving forward and not get distracted by anything.”

Added freshman Josh Jackson, who said basketball provided a welcome escape from the program dominating headlines for other reasons this week: “No matter what’s happening off the court, basketball, when we’re out here, it’s always our main focus. And I think everybody did a really good job of just staying focused today.”

Sophomore forward Carlton Bragg Jr., who was suspended late Thursday night for a violation of team rules that Self said was not related to the reported rape at the team’s on-campus housing in December, did not make the trip, and no update was given on his status.

Regardless of when, or even if, Bragg returns, Self said he was impressed by his team’s approach and resolve in a tough place to play.

“Sometimes, when you’re a little bit depleted, a lot of times that creates more focus,” Self said.

Jackson’s shot falling The Jackson Five is already taken, but the Jackson 3 has a nice ring to it.

Kansas’ victory was sparked by a pair of 3-point swishes from freshman Josh Jackson, who, for the third game in a row, made a big impact with his outside shot.

“Josh’s two 3s to start the second half took the lid off, and we were pretty good from there,” Self said. “He’s made eight his

Said Jackson of his game-changing triples: “I find times where I’m in practice shooting with the guys and they’re all making 3s and it gets kind of contagious a little bit.

I kind of opened it up for us a little bit. It got kind of contagious.”

AAU atmosphere With so many highprofile players on the floor, Las Vegas-style hype filling the building and the fact that neither team really lost much no matter what the outcome was, Self said the game had an AAU feel to it.

“If you go to an AAU tournament, it’s kind of like the showcase game,” Self said. “If you win or lose it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t affect the bracket. And that’s kind of what I thought about this game. Of course, I know it means a lot to the fans of both schools and there’s a lot of tradition on the line.”

That tradition, which has been well documented, certainly meant something to the Kansas players.

“Statistically, it didn’t mean anything more than any other win, but pride for us,” freshman Mitch Lightfoot said. “We were fighting for each other and we were fighting for our coaches and we were fighting for all those fans back home. We wanted to get a ‘W’ for everyone.

And it was kind of cool to have it happen how it did.”

Kentucky still leads all of college basketball in all-time victories, with 2,222, but Kansas crawled one game closer and now has 2,205.

Guinness World Record The featured attraction in a night full of all kinds of pregame and in-game hype and excitement was the Kentucky crowd’s attempt to break the Guinness World Record for loudest indoor crowd in history.

Gunning for the Sacramento Kings’ record of 126 decibels, set in 2013, Big Blue Nation topped that mark thanks to the efforts of 24,418 screaming fans.

The record breaker came just before tip-off, when the crowd reached a verified level of 126.4 decibels.

This and that...

Kentucky’s lead in the all-time series with Kansas dropped to 22-8, including a 7-2 mark in Lexington.... The Wildcats lost for just the fourth time under John Calipari in games which they led by 10 points or more and now have lost back-toback just eight times in seven seasons under Calipari.... The Jayhawks improved to 5-1 this season in true road games and 9-2 in games away from Allen Fieldhouse.... KU is 3-1 all-time in the SEC/ Big 12 Challenge and has won two straight over the Wildcats and two straight in Rupp Arena.... Former KU coach Larry Brown attended Saturday’s game.

SOUNDS THAT SELL Area composers are behind ad music here and abroad

By Nick Krug lll

f the names Sam and Dan Billen ring a bell, it might be that you heard their music while popping around the Lawrence music scene at The Bottleneck or Jackpot Saloon in the early- to mid2000s. But you’ve likely heard their music and not known it — and it may even have caused you to grab your wallet.

The Billen brothers and their Lawrence-based company Primary Color Music is now doing what their old band, The Billions, never quite could — get heard by the millions. The key has been making their music more commercial: They provide music for advertisements heard all over television and radio.

“The crazy thing is that with our band, The Billions, really in terms of the people who ever heard any of our songs, the reach was probably maybe 20,000, max,” says Sam, 35.

“It’s funny,” adds Dan, 38. “(Now,) maybe almost everybody in the U.S. at one time has probably heard something that we’ve done. When you’re in a band, it’s all about your

face and your ego, and now it’s the opposite. It’s like we’re invisible.”

But their clients, which include the likes of McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Cessna, H&R Block, Dairy Queen and many others, are some of the most visible in America.

In 2013, Sam started the Lawrence commercial music business Primary Color Music, which initially began with just him picking up freelance work, composing music for various local advertisers. As his business grew nationally, he brought in Dan and eventually three other commercial composers, including Ryan Pinkston, who, in 2009, performed on the David Letterman Show with The Republic Tigers.

In a series of commercials for the Baconator sandwich at Wendy’s that the company provided music for, adolescent strips of bacon confront various pressures and moments of temptation. The commercials, hilariously contrived, are as unforgettable as the anti-drug spots aimed at teens decades ago. So, as the two curious bacon buddies find an older brother’s stash of “wood” under a bed, the heavily synthesized music carries a suspenseful moment of contemplation straight out of the ’80s as

can basically do any style.”
