• Jason Chambers, like many others I know, has a lucky set of clothes for KU games that he kept in his house in Springfield, Mo.

I guess I should say he had a lucky set of clothes for KU games.

That’s because the Jayhawk shirt and the shorts he was wearing somehow ended up on a previously naked burglar who wound up inside Chambers’ attic.

Here’s the strange story from the Springfield News-Leader.

Chambers was wearing the clothes during every game of the basketball team’s 2008 national title run.

“I’m not sure I want it anymore,” he told the newspaper.

Especially after the 45-year-old man grabbed the shirt and shorts off the wall and was involved in an altercation with a police dog.

Chambers, who had moved out, was planning to go back to retrieve the items later. Now they’re being held as evidence in the case.

Thanks to awesome colleague Christy Little for the tip.

• Soon, you can catch the KU production of the opera “Hänsel und Gretel.” Performances are at 7:30 p.m. April 29 and May 3, 5 and 7 and at 2:30 p.m. May 1 and 8 at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall.

Tickets are $10 for students, $20 for the public and $19 for senior citizens and KU faculty and staff. The setting of the opera — which will be sung in German with English supertitles — will be moved from the German forests to Kansas cornfields.

KU students will also be performing the opera during an upcoming trip to Eutin, Germany, for that city’s summer music festival. More on that here.

• KU Student Senate campaigns are a whole heck of a lot cheaper than U.S. presidential campaigns, according to the University Daily Kansan.

The Renew KU coalition spent $5,676.47, and the victorious KUnited coalition spent $6,538.

The major expense? T-shirts, on which each coalition spent thousands of dollars. The Kansan reported that the biggest donors to the campaigns were local apartment complexes.

I bet Barack Obama and his eventual opponent (Donald Trump?) could spend that much money in a tiny fraction of a second, if that.
