Te larges ax hike in Kansas his-ory is se o go ino effec Wednes-

day, raising sales ax rom 6.15 per-cen o 6.55 percen. Te legislauredecided on a ax plan o und hebudge on day 113 23 days pashe end o regular session.

Sen. David Haley (D-Kansas Ciy)said all he ax hikes, including hoseon ood, will hur working Kansans.

“Make no misake, his recen leg-islaion increases he ax liabiliy or

average and lower-income Kansans,while coninuing o reduce i noeliminae ax liabiliies or wealhies

Kansans and corporaions,” Haleysaid.

He said Gov. Sam Brownback andmany conservaive legislaors in-

ended o burden he poor mos.“I’s o shif he cos o governmenrom he wealhy o he poor,” hesaid.

Rep. Barbara Bollier (R-MissionHills) said he governor’s saemenha he ax plan “coninues ourransiion rom axes on produciv-iy o consumpion-based axes andprovides a mechanism or reducingincome ax raes or all our ciizens”

is misleading because while hereis less ax money coming ino he

sae, i’s because businesses and heupper-economic group pay litle ono ax.

During he economic crisis in

2010, Kansas and oher saes raisedsales ax, bu Bollier said he hike was unnecessary his ime around.

“I’s very unorunae because ipus a higher burden on he poor,”she said. “Now, he governor can sayhey’re no paying income ax, bu

 we researched i, and hey’re payingmore in ood and sales ax. We don’have a crisis now ha everyone elsehad; we have a sel-induced one.”

Haley reerred o he ax plan as“he Robin Hood effec.”

“Gov. Brownback and he legisla-ors ha passed he larges ax in-crease in Kansas hisory are similaro pickpockes,” he said. “You don’realize you’re geting solen romunil he hie is gone. I’s somehing

 you don’ noice unil he end o he

pay period when you’re wondering why you’re shorchanged.”

One major sicking poin Bolliersaid wasn’ addressed was he elimi-

naion o income ax, somehing shesaid is poor policy.“Te number one hing or me is

ha i didn’ address he long ermailing o his plan, he plan being oeliminae income ax,” Bollier said.“I coninues down a policy roadha in my opinion won’ be appro-priae or our sae.”

She said she doesn’ believe hemajoriy o Kansans and Kansas

 businesses are in avor o his plan.“I’s bad policy, even he business-

es admi i, hey’re willing o paysome ax,” she said. “I sill can’ fig-ure i ou. Te majoriy o he saedoesn’ wan his plan. I was bulliedorward.” Wih his session being he longes

in Kansas hisory, Haley said he

legislaure spen oo much ime onissues ha were less significan hanpassing he budge and ax plan.

“Teir prioriies were on issues

ha were less imporan han find-ing revenue o offse he governor’sRobin-Hood-in-reverse ailed ex-perimen,” Haley said.

Last week, Kelly Oubre Jr. became the sixth freshman in KU history to be selected in the NBA draft.

He joins two sophomores and nine juniors.

o Johnson Couny ordered mar-

riage licenses be given o same-sex

couples. Tey had already appliedor heir marriage license in Hawaii.

“We go our marriage applica-

ion and abou 30 minues afer we

picked i up, hey came back and said

‘No, i’s no acually legal,”’ Cailin

said. “We had amily members ask-

ing i hey would ge arresed com-

ing o our wedding, and i’s like, ‘No,

jus because i’s no legal doesn'

mean i’s illegal.”’

Insead o dealing wih hyphen-

aions or figuring ou which las

name o use, Cailin and Keirsen

decided o combine heir las names.

Cailin’s las name was previously

Wisler and Keirsen’s was previously

ones. From ha hey came up wih

onesler.

“I sared ou as a joke, and I really

loved i, so i jus suck,” Cailin said.

“I’ve heard o a ew couples ha havedone i. I was harder or her because

she jus added a couple o leters o

her las name, bu i worked ou.”

Te Supreme Cour ruled in avor

o same-sex marriage 5-4 on Friday,

une 26. Te case originally came

o he Supreme Cour afer numer-

ous saes overurned bans on gay

marriage. Foureen couples and wo

widowers brough he case. Lead

plainiff Jim Obergeell los his hus-band John Arhur o Lou Gehrig’s

disease nearly wo years ago. He

ough o be recognized as Arhur’s

spouse on he deah cerificae.

 When he Supreme Cour deci-

sion was released, crowds o people

flocked o he he Planing Peace

Equaliy House in opeka. Direc-

or o Operaions a Planing Peace

David Hamme said people werehugging and crying ogeher, many

in disbelie.

“Five years ago hey would ell you

‘Maybe in my lieime we’ll have

marriage equaliy.’ Now i’s recog-

nized as par o he consiuion; i’s

an undeniable righ,” he said. “I’s

incredible; i’s amazing and exci-

ing. I means somehing unique o

everyone.”

Hamme said his is a vicory, bu

here’s sill a long way o go owardsending homophobia. He compared

i o he civil righs movemen o he

‘60s.

“A lo o people hrew heir hands

up, and said ‘We deal wih racism,

i’s over,’ bu we know all oo well

ha we have no broken down rac-

ism,” Hamme said. “Tis is a grea

momen, bu here’s so much more

o come. Anyime we move orward,

people resis i.”

Gov. Sam Brownback issued a

saemen afer he Supreme Cour

ruling.

“Acivis cours should no over-

rule he people o his sae, who

have clearly suppored he Kansas

Consiuion’s definiion o mar-

riage as being beween one man and

one woman,” Brownback said in he

saemen. “We will review he rul-ing careully o undersand is effecs

on he people o Kansas.”

Richard Levy, J.B. Smih disin-

guished proessor o consiuional

law a he Universiy, said alhough

some eleced officials may no be

pleased wih he high cour’s deci-

sion, he Supreme Cour’s ruling

mus be ollowed.

“Te Unied Saes Consiuion is

he highes and mos undamenal

law in he counry and i supersedes

anyhing in Kansas law, so he ruling

is binding on he sae o Kansas,”

Levy said. “Te sae mus gran

marriage licenses and recognize

marriage licenses graned by oher

saes.”

Hamme said i’s unorunae

 when eleced leaders live and hink

in he pas. In 2005, Kansas passedan amendmen clariying ha in he

sae marriage is defined as being be-

ween a man and a woman.

“We know he majoriy o people

in every sae are or marriage equal-

iy,” Hamme said. “I’s unorunae

 we have eleced leaders living in he

pas, living in a haeul bigoed pas.”

 According o a Gallup poll, 60 per-

cen o Americans believe same-sex

marriages should be recognized as valid. While ha is up 23 percen

rom 2005, Cailin said he disdain

or same-sex marriage is sill ever-

presen in sociey.

“I am a litle nervous abou anaic

people ou here,” she said. “I heard

an inerview on NPR, and his guy is

saying his soul is devasaed, and i’s

like, ‘My lie has nohing o do wih

 you and your devasaed soul.’”Levy said he’s noiced a dramaic

change in public opinion o same-

sex marriage, and he cour’s deci-

sion reflecs he public’s opinion.

“Cours move slowly, and given

he prevailing atiudes abou homo-

sexualiy, cours were parial abou

culure,” Levy said. “In my lieime,

here’s been a dramaic change in

culural atiudes.”

Hamme said he hinks here will be an upick in violence agains

LGB individuals by people an-

gered a he ruling. He also worries

abou individuals being fired rom

heir jobs or being denied housing.

In some saes, including Kansas, i

is legal o fire sae employees or

heir sexual orienaion. In February,

Brownback repealed proecions or

LGB sae workers.Cailin said he possibiliy o some-

one reacing o he ruling violenly

has crossed her mind. She and Kei-

rsen alked abou atending a cel-

ebraory rally he Friday nigh bu

decided agains i.

“I crossed my mind ha his is a

gahering o a lo o homosexuals,

and here could be ha person ha

ges afer hem,” she said. “I have a

ear sill someimes when my wieand I are walking around. For ex-

ample we jus wen o ennessee,

and we had o ask each oher ‘How 

hings are here,’ and ‘Can we ge

away wih holding hands?’”

 While he public eagerly awaied a

 voe, Cailin said she’s glad he cour

ook ime beore voing because i

 would have been much worse i i

had voed o uphold bans on same-sex marriage.

“I was hopeul, bu I was scared o

i. Everyone jus waned hem o go

ahead and voe, bu we gained more

 by heir waiing,” she said. “I’s really

exciing and amazing.”

If you are a woman, odds are

i’s been done o you. If you’re

a man, i is very likely ha

 you have eiher seen i or done i

 yourself. “Cacalling” is well known

and common, bu his degrading ac

oward women ha has become he

norm needs o sop.Te erm “cacalling” alone should

show how disrespecful i is o do

his o a woman, or any human

 being. By cacalling, men are aking

he humaniy from hese women.

Te men who yell phrases such as

“nice breass” across empy parking

los view women as animals, as

he name “cacalling” implies. Like

summoning a dog, hese men aresummoning women.

Te major injusice of cacalling is

he disrespec and discomfor ha

hese cacallers are placing on heir

 vicims. Tese men do no have

he decen respec o walk up o a

 woman and address her, as hough

she is no even worh he 15 seps

i would ake o look her in he eye

and inroduce hemselves. Cacall-ing is nohing shor of cowardly.

I can recoun a few imes when a

man has yelled “charming” hings

o me from across srees, parking

los or even as I walked by. Te firs

few imes, I said nohing. I was so

in shock ha a complee sranger,

in broad dayligh would have he

audaciy o say he words “you’re

looking good, baby” o me.I did no say anyhing, and neiher

did anyone around me. If and when

I do summon he courage o make

a remark leting he cacaller know

ha wha he did was no OK, I am

immediaely overcome wih fear.

Toughs such as “Will he follow

me? Will he yell a me again?” echo

in my mind as I find myself walking

faser in he opposie direcion.For hose who may wan o argue

ha I was in a igh dress and 8-inch

heels while hese incidens have

happened, I was no. Ahleic shors

and a -shir are usually my oufi

of choice.

Regardless of wha you wear,

 where you are or if you are alone, no

one should have o fear being disre-

speced and dehumanized. And forhose who parake in he aciviy

of cacalling, your words and glares

ha you mean as fun and games,

srike fear and guil ino he women

 whom you call “sexy.”

Ask Anissa: Do I follow my parents’ rules when they seem unreasonable?

 A: College is he perec breedingground or developing a compli-caed relaionship wih he humanswe call “mom and dad.” You’re onyour own in college, doing whayou wan, on your own ime, wihwhomever you wan. Bu or hemos par, parens sill pay or ood,gas, housing and someimes evenour un suff like ha Wheel pizzaha you “absoluely needed o haveor else you would die” a 1 in he

 boyriends may come and go, bu your parens have been here or you since day one. I your boyriendcan ully suppor you and all o

 your financial needs, hen you canlive wherever you wan. Unil hen,respec your parens’ decision.

Lie is beter when you are ongood erms wih your parens. LikeI said, wheher we wan o admi ior no, mos sudens wouldn’ even

Te summer righ beore my resh-man year o college, my parensmade he execuive decision ono allow me o ake my car. Teirreasoning was ha I would be sevenhours rom home, and everyhing

B

eore moving o Kansas, Ilived in he souh. I neverhad a problem fiting in or

having people ask me where I wasrom because o my las name, Go-mez, which is ofen auomaicallyassociaed wih Mexican descen. When I moved o Kansas here

were kids a my school who’d alwaysease me or being Mexican and be-ing a “Gomez.” Bu I’m no Mexican I’m Spanish as well as English.Spanish and Mexican descens are

rom differen counries and differ-en coninens. Jus because I’m noconsidered “whie” or a majoriy,neiher I, nor any oher person,

should be eased. Maybe he prob-lem is ha people don’ know any beter because hey’ve never beenaugh abou culures besides heirown. We don’ realize i, bu creaing

our own ruhs, scenarios or auo-maic opinions can end up beingharmul or offensive o anoherperson. Anoher problem is hamos o he ime, our own ruhs are

no he ull ruh. We need o be more aware o he

issues wihin social jusice and hepoenial harm o hem. Wha weneed is culural compeency undersanding oher culures andypes o people by looking hrougha differen lens han he normal one

 we use every day.Sudens usually wan o eel a

sense o belonging and presenceon heir universiy campus andno have o worry abou whapeople will hink o hem based on

culural or ideological differences.Tey come o college o seek hoselielong riendships hey’ve heardabou and o creae memories wihhose people. When we ge o cam-pus, someimes we look a peopleoo closely raher han criically.

For example, wo people are walk-ing on Jayhawk Boulevard o class one man, one woman. In yourmind you may ask yoursel: “Are

hey a couple? Are hey jus riends? Are hey going o sudy ogeheror a class?” In your head, you’vealready consruced your ownsory o heir relaionship (or evensrangership) because you don’ seehrough muliple lenses.

Te argumen is diversiy versussocial jusice and equaliy versusequiy. Equaliy is where everyone

ges he same hing: or example,everyone ges a pair o shoes haare he same ype and same size.Te problem is, no everyone needs

he same hing wha hey needis heir own shoe or heir own size, because no everyone is he same.

Ta’s where equiy comes in. Eq-uiy is he qualiy o being air and

 jus. Since everyone isn’ in need ohe same hing, we mus adap oheir needs and find heir access ohem.

Diversiy is being aware, olera-ing, celebraing and acceping

differen hings. Bu social jusiceshould be he ocus. Social jusiceconains he privilege versus op-pression heory, where we basehings auomaically off he answerso quesions like he ollowing:• Where’d you come rom?• Wha high school did you go o?• Wha was your moivaion and

obligaion o do wha you do?

• Wha was your household ype?• Wha aciviies did you paricipae

in?Bu he hing is, why do he an-

swers o hese quesions mater?Te ruh is, hey shouldn’. Who we are is who we are, and how we go here isn’ imporan. Ourprivileges are unasked or, unearnedand invisible. We’ll never under-sand our own priv ilege because wealways have hem. We need o be reminded o he im-

porance o hinking criically ando always sop and hink, “W ha’s

missing?” KU is such a large, diverseuniversiy, and ha should beembraced.

have o avoid he hea, making my jobmore difficul. I am only working pardays, and i is hard or me o do ha,”

Powell said. “Te aigue is awul; I jus can hardly keep going, and I haveo res a lo or I ge real shaky. I am very siff and my muscles ache a lo.”

Graduate addresses sexual assault with feature lm

ARTS & CULTURE

I’s a classic sory: boy mees girl.Boy alls in love wih girl. Boy losesgirl. Bu recen graduae BenjaminWaller, rom Alon, Ill., waned oporray somehing differen wih hisfinal film a he Universiy.

“I’s a relaionship movie a he

core,” Waller said. “I’s guy meesgirl, srikes up relaionship, andhings prety much go bad. Bohhese characers are very flawed;heir relaionship never really con-necs because o miscommunica-ion. Ta’s one o he core hemeso he film.”

Te film, “Te Hardes Ting oEarn,” was creaed or Waller’s hon-

ors projec. Te eaure film runs80 minues long and is one o helonges o be produced by a sudenwihin he Deparmen o Film andMedia Sudies. Waller, who wroe he scrip, pro-

duced, direced and edied he film,chose he ile rom one o his avor-ie quoes: “Love is he mos beaui-ul hing o have, he hardes hing oearn, and mos painul hing o lose.”

“I’s a drama wih some awkwardlycomic momens; i’s a bi o a genreblend,” he said. “I reer o he film asa dark romanic dramedy.”

Te film involved a cas largelycomprised o sudens wihin hefilm and media sudies deparmen.All cas and crew members volun-eered heir ime o work on he film,which began shooing las Ocober.

 Waller sared wriing he scriplas July.“I waned o make somehing ha I

could make, firs o all,” he said. “Forhis, I needed o wrie somehingha logically you were able o acu-ally make he film on a low budge.”

 Alhough he film deals wih is-sues o sexual assaul, Waller said heprevalence o sexual assaul on highschool and college campuses es-pecially involving alcohol didn’cross his mind when he firs wroehe scrip. As he sory began o de- velop, he realized how imporan hefilm could be.

“[Sexual assaul] is such a hugeissue globally, especially overseas,and i’s no only acceped, bu con-doned,” he said. “I’s jus an issueha’s very personal o me. I’ve al- ways been atraced o social issues when wriing. I’s jus impossible oake on such a huge subjec in such ashor period o ime. I jus waned oapproach i on a personal level wiha characer-driven film.”

 Jordyn Cox, a recen graduae rom Wichia, plays he lead role o hegirlriend. “Te Hardes Ting oEarn” is her firs eaure film appear-ance.

“I was a challenge a imes,” Coxsaid. “I’ve always really enjoyed rolesha have a lo o deph o hem, where you can explore no only hecharacer’s pas bu he characer’semoions, heir dreams, heir ears.I was really grea o have a characer who is incredibly complex.”

 As he acor who carries he film’smessage, he casing o Cox in helead role was a key momen or Waller.

“Wha atraced me o Jordyn washa she looked he par and nailedhe audiion, bu she has a very vul-nerable qualiy abou her,” Waller

said.

 Wih he producion process las-ing nine monhs, Waller and Cox

 boh said he cas and crew o hefilm creaed srong bonds heiravorie memories rom he process.

“Making a eaure film is hard,” hesaid. “I’s he camaraderie ha re-ally kep us going. Tere were los olong days and long nighs. None o

us were geting paid; I’ve sunk hou-sands o dollars o my own moneyino i.”

For Cox, he message o he filmsands ou more han anyhing else.

“I’s really been an amazing op-poruniy ha we’ve been able o

 work as a eam and make his movieabou an issue ha is so imporan,”Cox said. “Te hope wih he filmis o bring ligh o his issue and o

have people realize his is a problem somehing does need o be doneabou his. We really hope his film

 will be a way o spark ha conversa-ion.”

Te crew sho he film a variouslocaions around and ouside heciy, including he abandoned highschool in Lecompon. Te assis-ance rom he Lawrence commu-niy was insrumenal in he successo he film, Waller said.

“I really learned ha you needhe help o he communiy o ge afilm made on a low budge,” he said.“Wihou hem, i couldn’ have

 been possible; he communiy wasawesome. We go all hese cool loca-ions.” Waller plans o premiere he film a

he hopes he film will make he film

A SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVOR’S GUIDE

In a sudy o undergraduaewomen, nearly 1 in 5 women (19percen) experienced atemped orcompleed sexual assaul since en-ering college, according o a reporpublished by he CDC in 2012. According o he same repor, 1 in

71 men repored experiencing rapea some poin in heir lives. Tisleaves quesions abou he resourcesavailable o survivors as hey wade

hrough he process o filing com-plains and repors, atending hera-py and seeking jusice.

Te Kansan sa down wih heLawrence Police Deparmen, heOffice o Insiuional Opporuniyand Access, he KU Public SaeyOffice, Lawrence Memorial Hos-pial and Suden Affairs o ry oanswer a quesion ha college-agedsudens coninue o ask hemselves:

“I think I’ve been

sexually assaulted. What

options do I have?”

Te ollowing is all inormaion, re-

sources and procedures available ohe Lawrence and Universiy com-muniy.

RILEY MORTENSEN@RileyMortensen A note on language:

Kahy Rose-Mockry, execuive direcor o he Emily aylorCener or Women and Gender Equiy, said he vocabularycurrenly used when reerring o hose involved in sexual as-saul crimes is “complainan,” he one who repors he crime,and “responden,” he one who is allegedly accused; however,

 when describing siuaions where he crime was no reporedor hasn’ ye been repored i is bes o use “survivor” and “al-leged perperaor.” Te word “vicim,” while commonly used, isacually a medical and criminal erm and can ofen come acrossas alienaing o a survivor. Te Kansan also undersands somepreer he erm “vicim” or even “vicim-survivor.” We under-sand ha hose who have experienced sexual rauma, like all

individuals, have he r igh o label hemselves, and we respecha righ.

How the exam works

• Evidence colleced is much morehan jus an exam o genialia. Iincludes your whole body orexample, skin samples and hair sam-

ples rom all over he body.

• Te evidence collecion ki will besealed afer he nurse finishes heexam. Should you choose o pur-sue criminal charges, i will no beopened again unil he rial, whenhe Kansas Bureau o Invesigaion’slab will es he samples. KBI is hesae equivalen o he FBI.

• Te only evidence rom he rapeki ha IOA can use is he documen-aion ha is included in he writenpar o he exam, specifically any-hing showing or describing your in-juries; however, his can be a crucialpiece o evidence.

• Janice Early, vice presiden o mar-keing and communicaions a Law-rence Memorial Hospial, said survi-

 vors can reques a SANE exam eveni hey are no going o file a police

repor or a repor wih IOA.

• Mos o he ime paiens come inhrough he emergency room andonce he paien regisers, hey willimmediaely be brough back o aroom, eiher he proocol area or heamily area.

• Te paien will never have o waiin he waiing room because work-ers don’ wan hem o eel like ev-eryone is looking a hem and wano give hem as much privacy as pos-sible.

• All rooms in he LMH emergencyroom are privae rooms.

• Nex, paperwork begins. Te pa-ien will visi wih he primarynurse and hen he SANE nurse will

 be called in.

• LMH will always have a SANEnurse on-call. Tey currenly have13 rained SANE nurses who havegone hrough raining including a40-hour class, orienaion a LMHand raining or he phoographyporion o he SAFE exam.

• SANE nurses have 30 minues oge o he hospial. During his sameime, an advocae rom GaDuGi iscalled and he paien can choose ohave hem go hrough he process

 wih hem. Ofen he paien does wan he advocae here becausehey can help wih he process oncehe paien leaves he hospial as wellas supporing hem during he exam.

• Wheher you’ve brough a riend,amily member or use he advocaeservice, i here are any uncomor-able pars o he exam he paiencan ask hem o sep ou, or i he

nurse sees he paien is uncomor-able, hey may ask whoever is wihhe paien o sep ou.

• LMH has a separae SANE roomor SAFE exams. Tey have had hisroom or abou six years.

• Te evidence collecion kis aredisribued by KBI ou o opeka.Each sae has a differen ki and hekis in Douglas Couny are paid or

 by he disric atorney.

• Tere are wo versions o he ki:repored, meaning you’re reporingo he police, and non-repored.

• Te hospial preers ha he pa-ien repor because hen he kiis more horough, bu hey won’pressure he paien o repor i hey don’ wan o.

• Non-repored kis will no include blood, urine or drug esing samples because KBI can’ sore hose hingsor five years. Non-repored kisconsis mosly o swabs, hairs, pho-os and paperwork.

• Inside he ki are a number ohings: los o inormaion or hepaien including inormaion oncrime vicim suppor, inormaionon how hey will eel, wha hey’regoing hrough and resources. Tisis also he ime when he nurse willgive he paien heir case number.

Tis inormaion is rom erri Woodson, Sexual Assaul Nurse Ex-

aminer (SANE) coordinaor a Lawrence Memorial Hospial. Wood-son has 38 years o experience in he emergency/rauma deparmen.

A note on language:

Tese exams and kis are known by a variey o names including rape ki, SAFE exams (Sexual Assaul Foren-

sic Exam) and Sexual Assaul Evidence ki. LMH ries o use he erm “SAFE exam” mos o he ime.Survivors are generally reerred o as paiens in he hospial seting.

• Nex, he paien will sign a con-sen form. Tere are separae formsfor non-reporing and reporing, hedifference being wih non-repor-

ing, he paien will sign a form say-ing hey do no wan LMH o givehe evidence o he police; inseadhey wan o send he ki o KBI andhave hem hold i for up o five yearsduring which hey can decide o re-por a any ime.

• Te evidence ki is driven sriclyby wha he paien wans.

• Nurses will ask he paien o de-scribe wha happened saring wihhe ime he inciden occurred. Teydo his o make sure hey know whaevidence o collec for insance,

 bruising, cus or scrapes. Woodsonsaid describing wha happened isone of he hardes pars of he pro-

cess.

• SAFE Exams generally ake wo ofour hours depending on wha hepaien has gone hrough.

• Woodson said when she doesexams she explains o he paienevery hing she does and why shemigh need o collec pubic hair,

 blood samples, fingernail scrapingsor swabs. No every paien willhave every ype of sample aken. Idepends on wha happened in heirsiuaion.

• Woodson said i’s rare, bu whenhey do have paiens come in wear-

ing he clohes he sexual violencehappened in, hey have clohing forhem o change ino and supplies forhem o shower, brush heir eeh,ec. In cases like his hey will alsocollec clohing for evidence.

• Woodson said anoher difficulpar of he process is phoograph-ing he injuries. For each area hey

need o phoograph hey mus akehree phoos: a disan sho, a closersho and a close-up sho wih a ruler.Tis is so if he phoos ever end up incour for a rial, i’s easy o idenifyha i’s he paien’s elbow, leg, ec.

• LMH uploads he phoos o a se-

cure compuer program. If he pho-os are sen o he disric atorney,hey are ransferred online hroughhe program and he disric a-orney mus have an access key odownload he phoos. Tere’s a spe-cific consen form for phoographyha requires he paien’s permis-sion o send he phoos anywhere.• Woodson said i’s imporan ha

he paien always know ha his isheir ki, no he police’s ki or hehospial’s ki.

• During he exam he nurse willalso give medicaion for SDs,

 which he paien does no have opay for, and he nurse will es o see

if he paien is pregnan. If he pa-ien is pregnan hey will be offeredPlan B, also a no charge.

• Te nurse will hen advise he pa-ien o have a follow-up exam a alaer dae.

What if my sexual assault happened a year ago

and I didn’t get a rape kit?

Should I still report?

 FROM GUIDE PAGE 09

Tips for ensuring maximum

evidence collection after

sexual violence occurs:

 Yes. You can sill go o he hospial and ge SD medicaion andcounseling. You can also sill repor o he police. Te hospial won’collec evidence, bu i’s sill a good idea o see wha resources hey haveavailable.

• Do no shower or brush your eeh.

• Leave on he clohes in which he sexual assaul occurred andgo o LPD, KU PSO or a survivors’ organizaion like he Emilyaylor Cener. KU PSO will also pick you up and ake you o hehospial. Te imporan hing is o go somewhere you feel safe.

• If you feel comforable, ake a friend or family member for sup-por. Te hospial wil l also have an advocae here o suppor youand go hrough he process wih you from sar o finish if you’dlike.

• If you choose o go o LPD or KU PSO, he police will help youchange ino differen clohes, bu doing his a he police saion

 will allow hem o collec evidence ha may fall off your clohing.

• If you absoluely mus ake your clohes off o change, sorehem in a clean bag (one ha has no been used before). A clean

 bag will also help if you are no ye comforable going o he po-

lice. If you canno go o he police for a leas a few days, makesure o use a paper bag o avoid mold growh on he clohes. Yourclohes can sill be used for evidence, bu mold growh will iner-fere. If you can, hough, police urge you o go o he police saion

 wearing he clohes you wore when he sexual violence occurred.

Junior guard Frank Mason takes a shot inside the arc at the second

exhibition game on Friday, June 26. Mason made 4 out of 11 field goalattempts, a change from his stellar performance Tuesday.

Mason was on the floor 84percent of the time in the two

games, averaging just less than34 minutes per contest.

“Hopefully there are games whe re we don’t have to playFrank or Wayne 20-plus min-utes,” Self said. “It’s going to behard if every game is as hard asthese two.”

Only time will tell if Self staystrue to his word, but not having

key pieces in the backcourt cer-tainly hurts this team’s depth.

Possibility of a Big 3

USA FROM PAGE 15

The World University Games and, more than likely, the2015-16 season will dependon the production of key playersMason and Ellis. But with the re-cent emergence of Selden, Kan-sas fans may see the beginning ofa Big 3 forming in Lawrence.

“From the outside looking in, itmight look that way,” Selden said.“But there can never be a Big 3,especially in a college basketballsituation.”

However, the three players ac-cumulated a combined 96 min-utes of action in game two andscored 55 of the team’s 87 points.In the two games combined, the

 big thre e score d 113 poi nts in

181 combined minutes.

On Tursday, Kelly Oubre Jr. became he ninh Jayhawk cho-

sen in he firs round o he NBA draf since 2010, alhough

In ac, Oubre was he laes Jayhawk firs round selecion

since Darrell Arhur wen 27 o he New Orleans Hornes back in 2008, ollowing a year in which he Jayhawks won a

Naional Championship.

Oubre was chosen by he Hawks, bu shorly afer he was

raded o he Washingon Wizards, who could have an open-

ing a he small or ward posiion should ormer Jayhawk Paul

Pierce leave in he offseason.

Eiher way, Oubre said he was excied o ge sared in he

NBA, and he’s ready o prove his doubers wrong.

Despie being projeced as a lae firs round or early second

round pick or much o he las ew monhs, Cliff Alexander

made i all he way hrough he NBA draf w ihou being selec-

ed. Alexander was cerainly disappoined, hough he did say on

“Sared rom he botom beore,” Alexander weeed.Since he 2010 NBA draf, he Jayhawks haven’ had oo many

hough ha cerainly wasn’ he case or big man arik Black las

Stigler finishes just short of qualifying for World Championships

Michael Stigler finished ourth in

the 400-meter hurdles at the USAChampionships on Saturday. Te

top three runners qualified or the

World Championships, meaning

Stigler missed qualiying by one

spot. His time o 48.96 seconds put

him behind a trio o ormer USA

Outdoor Champions in Bershawn

ackson, Johnny Dutch and Kerron

Clement.

Stigler’s season-best time o 48.44

seconds would have tied him orthird and put him just one-hun-

dredth o a second away rom sec-

ond place. Afer finishing with the

top time in the preliminary round

and the third best time in the semifi-

nals, Stigler could not overcome the

competition.

Tis was not the first time Stigler

has suffered a gut-wrenching loss.

He suffered back-to-back runner-up

finishes at the NCAA Champion-

ships in 2013 and 2014.

“Last year, I knew it was really, re-ally tough on him,” track and field

assistant coach Elisha Brewer said

prior to the USA Championships.

“Michael was very disappointed.”

Stigler bounced back rom the ad-

 versity and won the 2015 National

Championship. Recently, he was

announced as a semifinalist or the

Bowerman award, which is essen-

tially track and field’s Heisman ro-

phy.

“It showed me that I have drive anddedication within mysel,” Stigler

said beore the USA Champion-

ships. “I know that track and field is

something that I can be great at and

it just takes patience.”

Now Stigler will get more amiliar

 with his patience and strong work

ethic. He should be amiliar with his

clothing, too, as he’s now sponsored

 by Adidas, the same company that

sponsors the University’s athleticgear, as announced yesterday.

 Afer losing or the first time in

2015, Stigler will move on again

 with newound motivation. His next

racing event is undetermined at the

moment, but he plans on making a

 big splash in 2016.

“What happened in the past is in

the past,” Stigler said. “I you dwell

on the past you’re still going to do it

in the present.”

Te uture looks bright or Stigler. Jackson, the 2015 USA Outdoor

Champion, is 32 years old. I Stigler

plans to compete until he’s 32, he

has a decade ahead o him as a pro-

essional. He still has a lot o time to

figure things out.

Stigler will spend the next year

competing in various events. He will

 work as a graduate assistant coach at

the University while training or the

Olympic trials and finishing up his

degree.

Tree finalists will be announced

or the Bowerman award on July 8.Te winner will be announced Dec.

18, the same day the all semester

ends and Stigler plans to graduate.

Stigler’s tribulations have culmi-

nated in success so ar in his career.

Now, at track’s highest level, he will

look to become one o the best run-

ners in the world.
