    Lawrence Police Department introduces canine unitKATE MILLER@_Kate_MIller_

     Wih a wagging ail, lolling ongue

    and eager-o-please atiude, CB

    seems like any oher dog. Bu wih

    he capabiliy o sniff for drugs, rack

    criminals and serve as a formidable

    parol animal, he’s he furhes hing

    from “normal.”

    “Tey’re no pes,” Officer Mat

     Weidl said. “I’s considered a ool.

    If somehing calls for he use of he

    dog, hen ha’s, in a sense, he ool

    ha we use.”

    CB is one of wo new Police Service

    Dogs joining he Lawrence Police

    Deparmen his summer. Brough

    over from breeders in Europe andrained in opeka, he PSDs are he

    firs in Lawrence Police Deparmen

    hisory.

    CB’s handler is Weidl, an officer

     wih he LPD since 1998. Weidl,

     who formerly worked wih he

    LPD’s raining, firearms and parol

    unis, had never worked wih a PSD

     before he applied for he posiion.

    “I’s always been an ineres,” he

    said. “I jus kind of jumped on he

    coatails and wen wih i and was

    asked o paricipae in he canine

    program.”

     Weidl and CB, a 2-year-old Ger-

    man Shepherd-Malinois mix, wen

    hrough 10 weeks of raining wih

    he Kansas Highway Parol saring

    in May, and he pair graduaed July

    1. Like any new job, i’s been a learn-

    ing curve.

    “Being in law enforcemen as long

    as I have, I hough I knew a leas

    a litle bi abou everyhing,” Weidl

    said. “Once I sared he canine pro-

    gram, i was like saring over. I’sough.”

    Te raining program was he mos

    inense program Weidl said he had

     been a par of. Five days a week, sev-

    en handlers and heir dogs raveled

    all over he sae o rain. Te dogs

    sared off learning how o rack

    fooprins wih reas and evenually

    learned how o search for evidence,

    recognize drug odors and search

     buildings.

    CB was almos 2 years old when he

     began his raining. Jus like he new

    handlers were “green,” he dogs were

    “green dogs.”

    “Jus like a litle kid, you each

    hose dogs wha you wan hem o

    The University of Kansas is allowing incoming freshmen

    to choose whether they want to lock into a four-year tu-

    ition rate or gamble on yearly tuition increases starting

    this fall.

    Tuition is not increasing as rapidly as it has in the past,

    said Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, director of news and me-dia relations for the University. If tuition rates increase at

    a slower rate, it may save students money to opt out of

    the four-year tuition price compact, which has initially

    higher tuition rates but protects students against sudden

    spikes in cost.

    “The University strives to remain competitive with our

    peers,” Barcomb-Peterson said in an email. “That means

    meeting keeping tuition priced competitively and being

    a good value for students.”

    The compact plan began with incoming freshmen in

    fall 2007, according to The University of Kansas Tuition

    Proposal. With the compact, tuition rates do not increase

    for four years, after which the compact expires. The plan

    expires because the University wants to encourage all

    students to graduate in four years, according to the Of-

    fice of Financial Aid and Scholarships.

    The compact starts with steeper rates because it takesinto account potential increases. Now, incoming fresh-

    men can take a lower first-year rate but potentially get

    caught in a tuition spike later on. The choice is up to the

    incoming freshmen and their families.

    The University of Kansas is the only Kansas regent

    school that offered a fixed four-year tuition rate for in-

    coming freshmen, according to the Office of Financial Aid

    and Scholarships.

    USA800, a call support center out of Kansas City, Mo.,

    will invest more than $3.5 million in a 20,000-square-

    foot facility at the Interstate-70 Business Center, bringing

    333 jobs to Lawrence, according to a press release from

    the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.With a growing customer base and new contracts,

    USA800 looked at multiple markets across the Midwest

    to set up a new facility. The press release cites Lawrence’s

    facilities and call center workforce as reason for setting

    up shop in the city. The facility will open Aug. 1.

    “It’s going to increase job opportunities here, and it’s

    going to increase job opportunities for students,” said

    Economic Development Project Manager at the Chamber

    of Lawrence Brady Pollington. “It will also soak up the

    layoffs from the Results Company [call center] exiting

    our market.”

    The boost in jobs the call center will bring is expected

    to help improve Lawrence’s economy as well.

    “The company’s investment in Lawrence will contribute

    to our state’s continued economic growth,” Pat George,

    Kansas commerce secretary, said.USA800 partnered with local Lawrence organizations

    including the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and the

    Economic Development Corporation of Lawrence and

    Douglas County to help develop the call center in a ben-

    eficial way to USA800 and Lawrence.

    The Business Center, at 1025 North Third St., will hold a

     job fair from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Au g. 5 to Aug. 7. Applicants

    can visit USA800.com for more information.

    Strong romantic feelings are not something we should be ashamed of

    In my firs semeser a he Univer-

    siy of Kansas, I noiced somehing

     very differen abou college.

    I wasn’ he large amoun of

    homework or he sudden amoun

    of freedom I now had as a college

    suden. Wha I observed was ha

    having a boyfriend or girlfriend was

    no longer considered “cool”; in fac,

    i was looked down upon.

    If you did have feelings for some-

    one, you had beter no show i oo

    much because focusing your roman-

    ic ineress on only one person was,

    for lack of a beter erm, “clingy.”

    I’m no sure when many young

    aduls like myself adoped he men-

    aliy ha having srong, romanic

    feelings for anoher person was

     wrong, bu I do know his menaliy

    needs o sop. I believe he bes love

    sories are he ones ha are passion-

    ae, deep and full-heared.

    Te problem is no ha his gen-

    eraion isn’ capable of hese srong

    feelings, bu ha we are afraid o

    show we have hem a all. A wised

    mindframe has been esablished

    ha equaes srong feelings for one

    person wih weakness.

     Alhough having inense feelings

    for anoher person can make you

    feel vulnerable, his does no mean

    i’s wrong o feel hem. Going ou

    every nigh and waking up he nex

    morning no remembering wha

     you did he previous evening can

    seem appealing a firs glance, bu

    hose who have led his lifesyle

    know ha, over ime, living in ha

    mindse leaves a feeling of empi-

    ness.

    Caring abou someone o he

    poin where money is no longer

    he mos imporan hing, and you

    honesly would raher jus say in

    pajamas and wach a movie wih

     your significan oher han go ou

    one nigh is no an indicaor ha

     you are “whipped.” I shows you

    are maure enough o embrace

    romanic feelings wihou fear or

    hesiaion.

    Humans are no wired o be alone.

     We need companionship, connec-

    ion and relaionships. So when

     you do come across a rue romanic

    connecion, don’ hold back.

    Why is everyone so mean

    to Frank?

     A Kansas law relaxing regulaionson carrying concealed weapons

     wen ino effec July 1.

    Te law, which allows anyone over

    age 21 o carry a concealed firearm,

    has exemped universiies unil

    2017 wih he purpose of assess-

    ing he securiy of campus build-

    ings. Te Kansas Board of Regens

    should srongly push he legislaure

    o make his exempion permanen.

    For all of he 17 years I’ve been

    in school, campuses have beenconsidered safe places. When I was

     younger, my mom even used o ell

    me o hang ou a school if I didn’

    feel safe leaving. Allowing anyone

    over age 21 like 44 percen of he

    suden body in 2014, according o

    he Universiy’s Office of Insiu-

    ional Research and Planning o

    carry a concealed weapon ono he

    campus would no longer make mefeel safe.

     According o a 2013 sudy pub-

    lished in he Journal of American

    College Healh, 79 percen of

    sudens surveyed also saed hey

     would no feel safe wih ohers

    carrying concealed weapons on

    campuses.

    Supporers of he legislaion

    migh argue he possibiliy ha

    people on campus carrying firearms

     would deer gun-relaed violence;however, he curren concealed

    carry laws on campuses seem o be

    sufficien in keeping violence away

    from colleges.

     According o a repor from he

    Educaion Resources Informa-

    ion Cener, only 15 murders were

    commited on college campuses

    naionwide in 2010, while a oal of

    11,078 gun-relaed homicides wererepored in he same year hrough-

    ou he res of he U.S. Simply al-

    lowing anyone o conceal a firearm

     will encourage more violence raher

    han preven i.

    Te law does no require gun own-

    ers o receive raining before being

    allowed o carry heir weapons. In

    oher words, i would be compleely

    legal for someone like me, who has

    only fired a weapon maybe wice

    in his life, o buy a gun and carry i wih me o class on a regular basis.

    I would no even feel safe handling

    a gun, much less carrying i wih

    me wherever I wen. I would only

     be a mater of ime before someone

     wih as litle experience would be

    responsible for he deah of an in-

    nocen person.

    For now, he Universiy sill pro-

    hibis weapons on campus, bu ishould remain ha way pas he end

    of he exempion in 2017. Allowing

    he law o ake effec elsewhere in

    he sae is a differen mater, bu

    campuses of learning insiuions

    need o coninue o be safe places

    for heir sudens.

    Energy use on campus

    • George Werth, a campus engineer, provided this informa-tion.

    • Campus energy use is highest in the summer and early

    fall.

    • Cassi Reimer, the Energy Conservation Specialist at the

    Center for Sustainability, said she is working with Werth

    to work on energy-saving measures.

    • The measures include gradually replacing flourescent

    lights with the greener LED lights in campus buildings.

    Electricity use by month

    Te Universiy’s Lawrence campus spreads across more han 1,000 acres and is comprised of 128 buildings.

     Alogeher, hese buildings use abou 125,000,000 kilowat-hours of energy a year and 500,000 mmbu.

    Natural gas use by month

    • These statistics, also provided by Werth, indicate that use ofnatural gas, which is used in heating, is highest in the winter.

    • The Center of Sustainability, according to Reimer, is looking

    at implementing automatic schedules and times in buildings.

    • Reimer’s hope is that the schedules, which are being tested

    in the fall, will minimize the amount of energy used by the

    heating and air-conditioning systems.

    • Ideally, the systems will adjust their levels depending on the

    building’s use.

    Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mousetrap’ comes to the University stage

    Te longes-running show o anygenre in modern hisory will makeis appearance on he Universiysage his Friday.

    Te murder mysery “Te Mouse-rap,” writen by Agaha Chrisie,

    creaes suspense wih is ale o agruesome murder and hose unluckyenough o be caugh in beween.

    Te play’s plo ocuses on seven in-dividuals who have become snowedin a a gueshouse in a pos-WorldWar II London. ensions rise afer amurder akes place wihin he house.Te res o he play is a back-and-orh among he characers, each

    rying o figure ou who could havecommited he heinous crime.“Te Mouserap” is amous or is

    wis ending, which audience mem-bers have been asked o keep secreafer leaving he show since AgahaChrisie firs opened he show.

    “KU called me up his summer andasked i I waned o direc ‘Mouse-rap,’” said Doug Weaver, gues di-recor, direcor o Equiy Acors’

    Readers’ Teare in Kansas Ciy andormer Universiy proessor. “I lovehe play so much, and I love Law-rence and KU, so I had o ake hejob.” Weaver has done his bes o keep

    he perormance as accurae o hesource maerial as possible. Acorswere schooled on heir various ac-cens and vernacular in rehearsal,

    and he props are auhenic.“We managed o ge a bi o re-cording or a radio broadcas hawas acually used during he 1952premiere o he show,” Weaver said. Weaver said he was “hankul and

    excied” o ake on he role o di-recor or he Kansas Reperory

    Teare, which parnered wih heUniversiy Teare o make his per-ormance possible. Sill, Weaver saidhe was wary abou he challenges hemigh have o ace especially re-garding he acors.

    “I didn’ cas he show; i was cas beore I go involved, so I had noidea who I was going o be working

     wih,” Weaver said.Beore Weaver, he Kansas Reper-

    ory Teare had already chosen adirecor or he play who made hedecisions abou he cas and crew. When he original choice o direcordidn’ work ou, Weaver was calledin o ake he direcor’s chair, bu he wasn’ he only one worried abouhe uure o he producion.

    “I had my eye on his oher direcor whom I had worked wih beore,”said Aiden Lindholm, a senior romMcPherson majoring in heare per-ormance, who plays Chrisopher Wren. “So I wasn’ oo sure when wego Doug.”

    However, Weaver made a srongimpression. Lindholm said hequickly came o respec he guesdirecor and his mehods.

    “Te second day o rehearsal, Doug brough each o us A gaha Chrisie books o read,” Lindholm said. “I’vedone abou six plays a KU so ar buI hink Doug has really become myavorie direcor o work wih.” Weaver’s passion or mysery and

    especially or Chrisie’s work washe driving orce behind bringinghe cas and crew ogeher, Lind-

    holm said.“I usually hae myseries and I didno like he scrip when I read i,”said Kevin Siess, a senior rom Law-rence and a firs-ime sage managerand assisan direcor. “I needed a job and so I applied, bu I hough i was jus going o be one o hose run

    o he mill ‘whoduni’ myseries.”Lindholm said he el much o he

    same under-exciemen or he pro-ducion early on in he rehearsalprocess.

    “I had never heard o AgahaChrisie,” Lindholm said, “and I jushough his would all be one bigcliche.”

    Forever he Chrisie an, Weaveround a way o ligh he fires o moi-

     vaion or his cas and crew wih hisown drive and his own experience

     wih he play. Tough Weaver hadnever direced “Te Mouserap” be-ore, he had seen his wie, a proes-sional acress, perorm in he showin Kansas Ciy.

    “ Weaver reall flun us ino i”

    Lindholm said. “Afer I learned moreabou i, I began o really all in love wih i. ‘Mouserap’ really was hefirs murder mysery play and i real-ly se he preceden or wha makesa good mysery. I’s really a lo morehan I had originally hough.” Weaver seemed o make convers

    o all he cynics in his cas and crew,even changing Siess’ mind abou he‘whoduni’ murder mysery.

    “Afer we go i on is ee, espe-cially wih our grea cas, I’ve jusallen in love wih he show,” Siesssaid. “Te characers are so uniqueand he back-and-orh among hemis my avorie par, and figuring ou where he characers belong wihinhe m ser is reall un.”

    I anyone involved in he play wanso do i jusice, i would be Weaver.

    “Anyone who wans o do mysery wans o do ‘Mouserap,’” Weaversaid. “I’s he pinnacle o mysery,

     bu i offers so much more han ha.Even i you don’ enjoy myseries,

     you’ll love his show. I’s he charac-ers; hey really bring i o lie.”

    Banana Bread Pudding: I’ve never had a bread pudding like this one. It was per-fectly soft and beautifully marbled on the inside with a slight crispiness on the

    outside, creating a perfect texture variation. It wasn’t too sweet and it wasn’t like

    a banana bread, per se, but it was fantastic.

    Peach Cream Galette: If we were giving out pastry awards, this one would takethe cake. The freshness of the peaches was only matched in deliciousness by the

    sugar-sprinkled crust enveloping the peach-filled goodness.

    Blackberry/Plum Galette: This little pastry was slightly more tart than the peachcream one — no complaints, though. The dark plum-colored center is as beautiful

    as it is tasty. The sugar complements the tartness well.

    Daily focaccia: This is more of a lunch-type bread, as it’s covered with tomatoesand olives and baked cheese. It’s the best of all things savory and would make

    for a delicious appetizer.

    Espresso: The espresso was beautifully poured. I almost didn’t want to drink itat first because I didn’t want to ruin the swirly, heart-shaped milk designs on

    the top. This may be the smoothest espresso I’ve ever had, and I’ve had my fair

    share.

    1900 Barker, located at 1900 Barker Ave., is currently open

    7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

    Lee’s sequel succeedsin telling dark story

    I’s been 55 years since Harper

    Lee’s landmark novel “o Kill a

    Mockingbird” was firs published.

    On uesday, “Go Se a Wachman,”

    he book’s sequel, premiered o he

    public.

    Firs hings firs: his is a good

     book. I is also unfair o compare

    “Wachman” o is predecessor, as“Mockingbird” has he advanage of

    more han five decades of being bro-

    ken down and analyzed by exper

    criics and lieraure classes across

    he world.

    Similar o “Mockingbird,” his nov-

    el is old from he hird-person per-

    specive of he girl known as Scou,

    now a 26-year-old who goes by Jean

    Louise Finch. Te plo of he novel

    ceners around a visi o her home-

    own of Maycomb, Ala., from her

    new home in New York Ciy. During

    he visi, Jean Louise grapples wih

    some exremely dark ruhs ha she

    comes o learn abou her faher, A-

    icus Finch, and her longime boy-

    friend, Henry Clinon.

     Aticus became a ficional icon in

    “Mockingbird” as he noble whie

    lawyer who atemps o defend a black man falsely accused of rape in

    Maycomb in he 1930s. In he book,

    as well as in he 1962 movie, Aticus

    is porrayed as he perfec faher and

    an idealisic believer in ruh and

     jusice.

    “Wachman” is se in he 1950s,

     where Aticus is revealed o be a seg-

    regaionis, a racis and srong be-

    liever in saes’ righs. He has atend-

    ed a Ku Klux Klan meeing and says

    hings such as, “Te Negroes down

    here are sill in heir childhood as a

    people.” Aticus, now a 72-year-old

    man suffering from crippling arhri-

    is, also voices srong opinions abou

    he NAACP-paid lawyers who have

    a presence in Alabama, more han

    once referring o hem as “v ulures.”

    Tis shocking revelaion forms he

    crux of he novel and ses he main

    acion of he book in moion. How-

    ever, his revelaion akes place al-

    mos halfway hrough he novel. Te

    majoriy of he firs half of “Wach-

    man” serves as a seup for he evens

    of he book, reinroducing familiar

    characers and inroducing he main

    plo elemens.Te revelaion abou Aticus ma

     be shocking and offputing o some,

     bu i reflecs he feelings and ati-

    udes of many Souherners durin

    his paricular chaper of American

    hisory, when he Civil Righs move-

    men was building o a climax.

    Lee succeeds in sripping away he

    "flawless faher" image of Aticus,

    porraying him as a flawed man who

     was no immune o he deeply-held

    racis beliefs of Souherners in he

    1950s.

     As Jean Louise is old by her Uncle

     Jack, who serves o explain he poli-

    ics of he Souh during his ime,

    "As you grew up, you confused your

    faher wih God. You never saw him

    as a man wih a man's hear and a

    man's failings."

    Te book iself is fairly manageableo diges. A 278 pages, more adep

    readers can finish i wihin a couple

    days.

    Te wriing is simple o under-

    sand, and Lee manages o push

    forward he message of her sor

     wihou resoring o cliches or con-

     venien plo wiss.

    Tere are imes when he boo

    recapures some of he brilliance o

    "Mockingbird." However, Lee uses a

     bi oo much exposiion o se up he

    main acion of he sory.

     Alhough here is a very long build-

    up o an enhralling climax, “ Wach-

    man” is worh reading.

    Five students abandoned the

    classroom to sharpen their skillsat four different destinations inItaly this summer.

    Barry Fitzgerald, professor ofdesign at the University of Kan-sas, took three illustration majorsand two architecture students toRome, Siena, Florence and Venicefor a six credit hour program.

    Te students spent three weeks

    practicing drawing subjects thatwere moving around and walk-ing down the street, among otherthings, Fitzgerald said. Tey dis-cussed mental tools that couldhelp them ground the people theysaw within a space and to createa sense of space the people theydrew could occupy.

    “A lot of these things don’t getdone in a drawing class that is

    limited to being in a classroom,”Fitzgerald said.

    Fitzgerald said there is a differ-ent challenge to drawing peoplewho are moving and may notknow someone is drawing them.

    “Learning how to draw while theworld is just moving around andnot stopping and posing for youtakes a different set of tools in or-

    der to handle it, know how to ap-proach it and do it successfully,”he said.

    He said he applies content hetaught in a special topics class oncampus several years ago in orderto create his study abroad cur-riculum.

    “It’s a drawing class, but we don’thave a classroom. Te world isour classroom,” Fitzgerald said.

    Jordan Chamberlain, a graduatestudent from Chicago in the five-year Master of Architecture pro-gram, said some of the experienceshe gained was unlike anythingshe’s studied before.

    “[Fitzgerald] was able to get meout of my comfort zone, becauseI know how to draw buildingsreally well, but I don’t know howto draw people and artwork,” shesaid.

    Chamberlain said her favoritecity was Venice, which she de-scribed as “exactly what everyonepictures in their minds.” Although

    the group only spent a few days at

    each stop, she said they got a goodtaste of each diverse destination.

    “Even though we were there fora short amount of time comparedto a lot of the study abroad pro-grams, we were still able to see a

    lot and get a feel for each of thecultures in the individual cities,”she said.

    Chamberlain said the artisticskills she honed in Italy are essen-tial to her planned career.

    “As an architect, you are drawingalmost every day,” she said. “Partof the creative process is that we’retaught to draw, and that’s how we

    get our creativity out on paper, as

    opposed to putting it into a com-puter first. [...] Te skill of know-ing how to put something from

    your mind onto a piece of paperis really crucial for an architect.”

    Fitzgerald and Chamberlainboth emphasized that the pro-gram is not strictly for illustrationstudents.

    “I would say it’s open to any-body in the sense that I don’t haveany strong prerequisites, but I dothink it’s best suited for students

    who have basic drawing skills,”

    Fitzgerald said.However, he said he has had

    students participate from various

    other programs: industrial de-sign, interior design, graphic de-sign and more. He said he believesstudying abroad is a valuable ex-perience.

    “I think that’s very importantfor students to start to under-stand how the rest of the worldworks, and that it’s not necessarilythe same as what we know here,”

    Fitzgerald said.

     Afer a three-week journey to

    Gwangju, South Korea, the Kan-sas men’s basketball team returnedhome Wednesday with gold medalsin hand rom the World UniversityGames.

    Tis is the USA’s first gold medal inmen’s basketball at the World Uni-versity Games since 2005.

    “It eels good to be back; it was aweek too long, though,” coach BillSel said. “Te act with playing and

    winning [is that] the guys really en-joyed it .”

    Sel said the World UniversityGames was an incredible experi-ence or his team. He mentionedhow his team played well with SMUguard Nic Moore and Florida GulCoast guard Julian DeBose on theteam, even while missing sopho-more guards Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk,

    Devonte’ Graham, junior guardBrannen Greene and reshman or-ward Cheick Diallo.

    Diallo arrived in Lawrence whilethe team was in Korea and was intro-duced in ront o the crowd duringthe homecoming celebration.

    Sel said it was different playing in-ternational teams but overall every-one on the U.S. team had un playingthe game. He hopes this is a momen-

    tum changer going into next season.“I hope it’s a springboard [into next

    season],” Sel said. “I don’t think any-one saw us winning the gold medal.” Junior guard Wayne Selden, who

    started as a good contributor dur-ing his first two years at Kansas, had breakout moments in the WorldUniversity Games as the top scorer

    among all teams, averaging 19.3points per game in eight games.Selden said he thinks o this as aconfidence booster going into nextseason.

    “It helps us all,” Selden said. “Weall competed as a team [...] seeingguys step up all different types o ways over there [in South Korea], ithelped everybody out.” When senior orward Perry El-

    lis decided to return to Kansas oranother year, he said he knew there was more to be done or the Kansasprogram. Ellis said this was the firstgold medal he has worn since hishigh school days at Wichita HeightsHigh School in Wichita, where hecompeted in track and field in addi-tion to basketball.

    Ellis said he’s exhausted afer all

    the games but glad to be home. Hehopes this experience can bringsome momentum going into nextseason.

    “It’s an honor just to do this,” hesaid. “It’s my last year, and I want tomake it the best and that was a greatopportunity to do this.” Winning a gold medal gives the

     Jayhawks momentum and experi-ence beore the beginning o the

    season on Oct. 9 at Late Night in thePhog. I Kansas ans liked what the Jayhawks did in South Korea, theymay be just that much more excitedor next season because o it.
