Cozart ended up going 16of-26 for 219 yards, with two
touchdowns and only one
interception, which was pretty
solid considering his rough
start.
Abby

freshman from Overland
Park, was among the group
of students who stopped to
ask Jones and other officials
what was going on.
I was a little bit
confused, Lanphear said.
Im glad its actually this. I
think its a really important
issue on our campus, and so
I think that this is definitely
something that will catch

he Kansas House of
Representatives will
soon be reviewing
Senate Bill 175, which the
Senate passed in March,
that, if approved, would
allow on-campus religious
organizations to restrict
membership to those who
share similar beliefs.
Republican Sen. Steve
Fitzgerald of Leavenworth,
who sponsored the bill,
said SB 175 is intended to
protect religious freedom
on campus by preventing
universities from moving
against student religious
groups that require
members to be of the
groups beliefs.

relationship is present in
Shakespeares original story,
Merely Players emphasizes
the confusion and difficulty
in a way not possible in
Shakespeares time.
Identifying with gender
and sexuality is still a big
issue [today], Schwerdtfeger
said. I think people arent
comfortable with those who
dont identify as heterosexual
or the gender they were born
into. I think this deals with
these issues in a way that
helps people understand why
people are confused about
their sexuality or confused
about their gender.
Although
the
themes
originate in Shakespeares
time, the play has a modern
twist. Starting out with the
original epilogue from As
You Like It, the language
of the play quickly shifts
from poetic prose to modern
dialogue. Combined with the
emphasis on modern ideas
and issues, Gywnn said she
hopes her new storytelling
will draw in viewers from all
backgrounds.
Whether youre interested
in questions about gender
and sexuality, in seeing a
play that really renders queer
women in a complex way, in
seeing a show that talks about
what its like to be caught in
a cycle of abuse, or whether
youre just really interested
in seeing a great show, I hope
you would consider coming
out to see this play, she said.
Merely Players runs at
7:30 p.m. today and Tuesday
at the William Inge Memorial
Theatre in Murphy Hall. The
show is free, and donations
are appreciated.

This workshop will teach

worldwide.

During the regular season
Curry was sixth in the league
at 23.8 points-per-game
and was fourth in the NBA,
shooting 44 percent from
three. He led the Warriors
to a 67-15 regular season
record with a 39-2 home
record, both the best in the
NBA, according to ESPN.
go.com. This earned Golden
State the No. 1 seed in the
Western Conference. With
that they swept the New
Orleans Pelicans and their
star power-forward Anthony
Davis, 4-0. According to vegasinsider.com, the Golden
State Warriors are 8-to-5
favorites to win the NBA
title, and this is due in large
part to the play of Stephen
Curry.
Additionally, Stephen
Curry broke the NBA record
for three-pointers made
with 286. This broke his old
record of
272 threes
he made two
years ago.
Curry had
a 10-game
streak where
he scored
20 or more
points in
each game during January and February. He has
only been held to under 10
points four times the entire
season, according to ESPN.
go.com.
Currys success didnt come
right away. He has battled
several injuries, including
repeated ankle issues that
caused him to miss 40 games
during 2011-2012 season,
according to probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com.
He also lived under the
shadow of a team known for
having great point guards.
According to rantsports.com
and encyclopedia.
com, the team
has held All-Star
Phil Smith; twotime All-Star Baron
Davis, who led the
improbable upset of
the Dallas Mavericks,
a then-No. 1 seed and
ended a 12-year playoff
drought for the Warriors;
four-time All-Star Guy
Rodgers, whos the teams alltime assist leader; and fivetime All-Star Tim Hardaway,
who is second all-time in
assists for the team.
Curry had some big shoes
to fill. Now it is Currys time
and with that he has shined
especially in the brightest
of moments (think: buzzer
beater in game three), and
thats why I believe Stephen
Curry is the 2015 NBA most
valuable player.

COMMENTARY
LeBrons firstround dominance
underrated
New football coach David Beaty looking for his best 11 in spring game
Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU
ings.
So often this is the
argument when talking
about players legacies, especially
when it comes to the NBA.
However, another statistic can
say a lot about a player.
First round record.
Dont get me wrong. Finals
victories and appearances
are incredibly important in
the legacy discussion. After
all, Michael Jordan had six of
each, Magic Johnson had five
and nine, respectively, and Bill
Russell posted 11 of each.
Leading a team to an NBA
Championship is an incredible
achievement, but its certainly
not the be-all and end-all.
However, it is worth noting
that James has started to reach
the territory of the elite in that
category, in his 12th season.
Right now, its possible (and
maybe even probable) James
could get back to the finals
this year, but looking at the
11 seasons hes completed, his
numbers stack up quite well.
At 30, James has reached the
NBA Finals five times and has
two rings to show for it, but for
a player just halfway through
his career, its not completely
accurate to compare his
accomplishments to players who
have completed their careers.
However, as far as firstround record is concerned, the
numbers are quite telling.
In his 10 postseasons, James
hasnt been eliminated in
the first round, and barring
something dramatic this year,
hell have never been eliminated
from the playoffs in 10-or-fewer
games in his career.
Michael Jordan, who seems
to be the person James is always
compared to, was eliminated in
the first round of the playoffs in
each of his first three years in the
league, and he was eliminated
in 10-or-fewer games in the
playoffs five times.
It took Jordan five NBA
seasons to get past that 10-game
mark; it took James three.
Now compare that to other
legends. Magic Johnson was
knocked out in the first round
of the NBA playoffs twice. He
made it fewer than 10 games
three times. Larry Bird lost in
the first round two times. He
played 10-or-fewer games five
times.
Considering how bad
some of James teammates
have been over the years, this
accomplishment is exemplified
greatly. Here are the players
who started alongside James
in his first playoff game: Drew
Gooden, Zydrunas Ilgauskas,
Eric Snow and Larry Hughes.
And in that first game, those
four combined to score 33
points on 13 made field goals.
By himself, James scored 32
points on 12 made field goals,
playing all 48 minutes of the
game. And with James leading
the way, the Cavaliers won the
game.
Ultimately, a mark like firstround success isnt something
that will be considered in legacy
talks, nor is it something that
carries the weight of perhaps 20
other career accomplishments.
However, LeBrons first-round
record is extremely impressive
in this day and age, especially
considering how bad some of
his teammates were, at least
before he teamed up with
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh
in Miami.

Kansas sophomore starter
Sean Rackoski escaped the
Mountaineer threat when
he struck out Justin Fox.
This was Rackoskis fourth
strikeout, and the Jayhawks
retained the lead, 4-3.
Rackoski settled in for the
remainder of his start. He
wound up striking out seven
batters in five innings, while
allowing seven hits and three

After freshman Blake

Rackoski, the lefty had a
