Editors Note
When a man strokes my face, I want him to whisper, Baby, your skin is so smooth, not Eww . . . well, I have a great exfoliator you can borrow. Maybe its selfish, but I want to be the soft one, the pretty one, the one who takes forever to get ready. I dont want to walk in on my boyfriend while hes wearing a facemask and reading one of my old Cosmos. But our men-folk are changing. They buy specialty shampoo, lotion and after-shave. They wear Diesel jeans and Lacoste polos. They get manicures and haircuts with body and shape. The days of the local barbershop are coming to an end, and they are being replaced by Saturday afternoons at designer stores and expensive salons. Maha Masud explores this phenomonen, nicknamed metrosexuality, in-depth on page 10. Some women embrace this new feminization of their men. They like that they take care of themselves. They like a sharply dressed, cologne-laced man. But to me, the best smell on a man does not come in a bottle of Aqua Di Gio or Very Sexy but from working on a car for a few hours. Its that motor grease/sweat scent of hard work. Dirt covers his clothes and hands, but he comes in the house with that sweet smell, proud that he just fixed your radiator belt. He should have a couple of calluses, stubble and a farmers tan not that all-over glow from the bronzer bottle. Liz Beggs, associate editor

sushi
Drizzle a little olive oil on a sheet of foil sides folded up and cook the asparagus in the oven for about eight minutes. During this time, prepare the vinegar mixture for the rice by combining in a saucepan: 1 _ tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar and a teaspoon of salt. Simmer and stir until sugar and salt are dissolved, then take off the heat. Prepare your other sushi fillings by cutting the carrots and avocado into thin slices. Also thinly slice the asparagus after its cooked. Once the rice has absorbed the water, transfer it to a glass bowl (not metal) and drizzle with vinegar mixture. Turn the rice a couple times, but do not stir it. Time to roll This is the fun part. To ensure the sushi rice doesnt stick to your hands, prepare a small bowl of cold water with a splash of vinegar to wet your hands with before you touch the rice. 1. Place a 4-by-7-inch piece of nori with its lines parallel to the lines of the bamboo roller. The edge of the nori and the bamboo mat are aligned at the end of the mat closest to you. 2. Form a loose ball of rice about the size of a small apple and place in the center of the nori sheet. Slowly spread the rice evenly over the nori, about three to four

Making sushi at home is cheap, easy and delicious

After eating at Lawrences premier sushi restaurant, WA, 740 Massachusetts St., I left with a happy belly but an unhappy wallet. The simple Japanese meal satisfied my hunger but did not expand my stomach beyond its comfort zone. A sushi meal is 180 degrees different from the classic American buffet, which leaves you feeling like you ate a small child. You can replicate the Japanese dining experience in your own home. With about a $20 investment and an hour of your precious time, you can learn basic sushirolling techniques and create your own pieces of chewy, crunchy, creamy sushi. Although sushi is often associated with raw seafood, sushi actually means rice dressed with vinegar in Japanese. Fish can be consumed as a part of sushi, but it is not a necessary ingredient. Your basic homemade sushi rolls will consist of sheets of nori (a roasted sea plant), sushi rice, rice vinegar, and your choice of fillings. Getting the goods The first step to making your own sushi is getting the ingredients. You can find everything you need at Hy-Vee, 4000 W. Sixth St., or at Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St., for about the same cost. After the initial investment in these sushimaking supplies, you are set for at least two sushi meals.

nori, $5 rice vinegar, $3 a bag of sushi rice, $3.79 asparagus, avocado and baby carrots, $5 wasabi powder (purchased at the Community Mercantile in bulk herbs), $2 bamboo sushi roller, (from the Community Mercantile) $3 Prep To make the spicy wasabi paste, combine 2 tablespoons of hot water with each tablespoon of wasabi powder. This peppery side will add a sharp taste to your sushi. Be sure to also set out sides of soy sauce or tamari to dip your sushi in. In the kitchen Having a partner in your sushi-creating experience is helpful but not necessary. To start, warm your oven to 400 degrees. Combine 3 cups of water and 2 cups of dry sushi rice in a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Slowly bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove rice from heat and let it sit for 10 more minutes.

grains thick, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. 3. Lay the avocado, carrot and asparagus slices evenly over the rice layer. To ensure an even roll, make sure ingredients do not overlap. 4. While holding the nori with your thumb and index finger, fold and roll the nori over ingredients. Continue lifting the mat so the nori rolls around and closes. You can further round the roll with your hand to seal it. Hyeon J. Shin, Seoul, South Korea freshman and sushi man at WA, rolls sushi using a bamboo mat covered with a layer of plastic wrap. Shin uses the plastic-covered bamboo mat to round the roll after he has first rolled it closed with his hands. 5. Wet your knife and cut the roll into six pieces by holding a sharp knife at a 45degree angle over it and cutting down with slow controlled movements. Once you learn to how to roll sushi, youll never forget. And you can experiment with different fillings: cream cheese, imitation crab, cucumber, mushroom, green onion or spinach. Sushi-making guidelines presented with help from Tracy Griffiths Sushi American Style.

1800 E. 23rd St.

A barrage of TVs showing different sports games adorn the high-ceiling walls of SetEm Up Jacks, and a pool table sits in the far right corner next to a jukebox. The layout may seem like any other sports bar, but the variety of food makes it anything but. Food type: In addition to regular bar fare burgers and fries the menu includes an array of sandwiches and entrees, such as fried catfish and teriyaki chicken. Make sure to try more unusual sides such as the fried okra or especially the crunchy sweet potato fries, which Stephanie Grissom, server, says are popular and shouldnt be missed. Price range: Entrees range from $9 to $13. Side dishes cost about $3. Attire requirements: Casual, but you can sport your favorite teams shirt if you want. Date-worthiness: Not really. Although the lighting is pretty subtle, all the commotion and TVs take away any opportunity for intimacy.

Lisa used to only see one of her

friends on two occasions. One, when her friends boyfriend was busy. And two, when the friend and her boyfriend were having problems and she wanted advice. When this pattern started, the Overland Park senior would try to call her friend to hang out, but Lisa says her friend constantly made excuses about how she was too tired. Lisa has now given up on their friendship. She says she was treated poorly and was tired of putting all the effort into their friendship. Altering time with friends to spend more time with your partner is a common occurrence, says Counseling and Psychological Services intern Beth Kirsner. Of her clients who do pull away from their friends while in relationships, she says they are regretful about it. Ive never had a client say that Im glad I stopped hanging out with my friends, Kirsner says. While short bursts, such as a week, of hanging out with your partner are acceptable to friends, Kirsner says problems can arise when the friend starts to feel neglected for a long period of time. Not only will the friend start looking for other time alterna-

tives, but when the non-single friend becomes single and wants to resume the friendship, she says there is usually resentment and the friend isnt going to want to go back to the friendship. This unbalanced budgeting of time between friends and significant others is not common for Nashville, Tenn., junior Greg Levy. He says when one of his friends has a girlfriend, the group expects to see that friend less. The girlfriend takes priority and you work around that, Levy says. College students already have a lot to do and when a relationship is added to the list, its difficult to budget things evenly, Levy says. Sharing her time between her friends and her boyfriend is something that Emily Kravit says she has learned to do well. When the Milwaukee junior started dating her boyfriend, Brad Patchessky, five and a half years ago, she says it was difficult to leave time for her friends. She says she was so excited to see him that she wanted to be with him all the time. It wasnt until she came to college that she says she realized how important the balancing act between the partner and friend really is. Kravit and Patchessky realized they were

spending too much time together when they started fighting about minor things, so they decided to spend more time with their friends. One way Kravit cultivates her friendships is by dedicating Thursday nights to her girlfriends, which usually entails a trip to the Sandbar, 17 E. Eighth St. Even in a long distance relationship, Chicago sophomore Danielle Herman makes sure not to drop her friends when her hometown boyfriend comes to visit. Herman says even though she only sees him once a month, when he comes to visit, he isnt the number one priority and that her friends are just as important. Her solution is to go to bars where she knows both her boyfriend and her friends will have fun. Its challenging being a friend who has been ditched says Sioux City, Iowa, sophomore Sean Gallway. Youre happy your friend met someone, but youre also kind of ticked off with your end of the deal, Galloways says. Its like, wow, your girlfriend is a big inconvenience to me, Galloway says. If youre hurt by your friends disappearance, Kirsner says its best to bring it

up. Start by saying, We havent done much together lately, and if your friend still doesnt catch on, Kirsner recommends telling your friend youre upset with the lack of time you have spent together. While a girlfriend or boyfriend is a common factor that takes up time in a schedule, Kirsner says a new friend, a job or schoolwork can also have similar results. Kirsner says the only difference is that people tend to be more understanding if its a job or schoolwork because thats something people do because they have to, not because they choose to. Its natural to spend a lot of time with your partner, but Kirsner says its important to not forget about the life you had before your partner. Everyone needs to get different things from different people in their lives. If you start putting all your time in one person, you will miss out on all those other things you used to have, Kirsner says.

A long distance relationship can be the most difficult relationship a person will ever experience. There are the long phone calls with bills piling up. There are the mini-vacations to visit once in a while. Theres also loneliness and a feeling of disconnection with one another. That feeling of disconnection can ruin a relationship. Luckily, theres help. Check out Long Distance Couples: An Activities Handbook for Strengthening Long Distance Relationships , by The National Institute for Building Long Distance Relationships. This handbook is full of creative activities to help you feel closer to the one you love. The long-distance phone calls and the trips are still up to you. Erin Shipps

Vikki Parry and Brett Mcafee

Vikki Parry and Brett McAfee, both Kansas City, Kan., freshmen, started dating in high school. Parry had a crush on McAfee since she first saw him during freshman orientation at Piper High School, but she didnt start dating him until her sophomore year. During biology class that year, Parry told McAfee that she had a dream that she kissed him. McAfee used what he called a reverse pick-up line and suavely replied, Well, maybe we can make that come true. He asked Parry out on a date and they have been dating since. Samara Nazir

The pot Your new plant may need to be re-potThe plant ted. If the roots are coming out of the botPick something you like, flowering or tom of the planter, buy a pot thats a little not.

Darrell Helling, manager of Earl the plant and May Nursery & Garden Center, 3200 Iowa what its light St., says to upgrade slowly because requirements are. plants dont grow any faster in a bigger Marchin says pot. Helling says to choose any pot you orchids are her like as long as its the right size. Most pots favorite to grow. are made from plastic, ceramic or terra Orchids are cotta. But Helling warns that terra cotta some of the can absorb moisture from the roots of the coolest plants to plant. Orchid keep around, she Most foliage or leafy plants can be placed in any standard pot. But cacti and

succulents should be placed in a shallow pot. These plants store their own water and dont rely on moisture from the soil like leafy plants do. The soil Dont bring home dirt from the nearest park to pot your plants, it can shock them. Helling says to buy a well-balanced soil that contains perlite, peat moss and vermiculite, which keep the soil from becoming too compacted and allow air flow to the roots. Helling also suggests buying a fertilizer that clearly says it can be used on indoor plants and is water soluble. Liquid or granule fertilizer, as well as a balanced soil are available at any local nursery or garden center. Keeping your plant alive Once your plant is potted, you have to help it grow. First, determine your plants light requirements. You can either do a little research on your plant or ask someone at your local garden center. Plants, such as Pothos, should be placed away from direct sunlight while Spider Plants grow well on a windowsill. The placement of your plant may help you determine what type you should buy. You can place different plants in the same pot as long as you keep the ones with the same light requirements together. Second, add cool, clean water. Just as plants can die from too little water, they

trim them. Helling says just to take off the yellow and brown leaves and any dead stems. You can trim plants, such as the Spider Plant, right below the nodes on the branches. If you place the stems in a cup of water, they will sprout roots and grow into another spider plant. These make great gifts for friends and family; theyre pretty and last a long time. So, its been eight months since I started growing my own plants, and most of them are still alive. Looking back, I never thought I would care so much about them, but I do. So try it, you too might dig up a talent you never knew you had. lfoskey@kansan.com

Having brilliantly white whites isnt hard, but it takes more than just separating whites from your other clothes. Just add two capfuls of color-safe bleach to your load. Color-safe bleach isnt as harsh as regular bleach, which can damage your clothes.

Hobby Lobby Creative Center, 1801 W. 23rd St., has styles of iron-on letters from Greek to gothic that will add personality to any T-shirt. Laura Springer, sales associate at Hobby Lobby, says all the letters they carry can be ironed onto any T-shirt by placing the letter on the shirt, covering it with a pressing cloth, like an old-fashioned tea towel, and then ironing over the towel.

The

professors
By Robert Perkins, Jayplay writer novel he writes, selling or giving them to friends and family. And not only does he write the novels, Dr. B. also prints and binds them. He says he tried to publish them under his wifes publishing firm, which handles many of his textbooks, but that she stopped printing them after his first novel failed to sell. Not that theres any animosity about the rejection. Im the only writer who goes to bed with his publisher, he says. Now Dr. B. publishes his novels though his own firm, the A.B. Literary House. Laura Lafoe, St. Louis junior and one of Dr. B.s students, says that when she and her classmates heard a rumor that Dr. B. wrote novels, they looked him up on Amazon.com. Although she says its interesting that he writes, she says she doesnt have any desire to read his novels for herself. Just knowing that they exist is enough information for me, she says. Dr. B. has three more novels in the works right now. The 67-year-old professor says hes running out of energy for this sort of thing but hopes to print The Nature of God: A Simple Explanation for Everyone someday soon. The rock star When Dave Besson runs into one of his students while his band is playing at a bar, he says they usually arent all that surprised to see him. I think theyre amused more than anything, he says, adding that he doesnt think he projects the image of the classic professor-type. Besson, a professor of physics, has been in various bands for the past 15 years, ever since graduate school. Right now he plays guitar for Galactic Acid, which he describes as a typical college rock band. His two band mates are both students at the University of Kansas, one of them a former student of his. Besson says that he usually doesnt talk much about his band to his students, but on occasion, hell bring it up. In my more selfglorifying moments, I do, he says. Its kind of an extension of my misspent youth. The card shark Cliff Phillips doesnt like to be called a card shark. Although the graduate teaching assistant in philosophy plays Texas Hold em at least once a week during the school year more often during the summer and estimates that hes won more than hes lost, he still says hes no star. For the past year, Phillips has been one of 100 or so people in Lawrence who play in the Poker Pub, a poker league that travels from bar to bar holding tournaments. He also plays in casinos at friends houses. Phillips says he likes the games combination of luck and skill and that the possibility of making money while playing doesnt hurt either. Hes won up to $600 in a game and says he usually just puts the money back into playing more poker. I dont have family, dont have kids, so I dont spend my money on anything else, he says.

So as it turns out, professors actually

have lives outside of class. Like many students, in the back of my mind Id always just assumed that when professors werent teaching us, they lurked back to their offices to sleep in their khakis and ties while the rest of us went out and had fun. But as I found out, when class is over professors sneak off to their secret lives off campus. The novelist A lot of professors write their own textbooks, but how many also write novels about espionage and romance? Bezaleel Benjamin, professor of architecture, is the proud publisher of a handful of novels including his 1988 release Rampaging Lovers. Dr. B., as hes known to his students, says he doesnt write for fame or money. I enjoy doing it for my own sake, he says. If it doesnt sell, I dont care. He typically prints between 50 and 100 copies of each

www.washburn.edu

Everythings dreamy with my new boyfriend until we start fooling around. I get really freaked out because his fingernails are long and I think he could cut me. Should I tell him to cut them or is that mean? Jillian, freshman Jessi: Lets make a distinction. Mean is laughing at an elderly person when their walker slips and they fall to the ground. Common courtesy is asking your boyfriend to trim his nails so that he doesnt slice your genitals. Its an issue of self respect. Do you love your vagina? Chris: Itll only be mean if you tell him in a bitchy way. So dont be bitchy. I cant stand long fingernails. And long toenails make me throw up in my mouth a little bit. I hate that. Let him know hes not touching the box unless his nails are clean and well-trimmed. Were not talking manicures here, just a little self-respect and personal hygiene. I asked a girl out for drinks and she excitedly said yes. But then when we got to the bar she revealed that she didnt drink alcohol. WTF? I didnt know what to do. Should I have drank as usual or stayed sober with my date? And was she BSing me for some reason or what? Chad, junior Jessi: The fact that she said yes speaks volumes. Not only does she like you enough to go out with you, but shell go out with you for drinks when she doesnt even drink. And she most likely wasnt BSing you since she never actually said Yes, I will drink alcoholic beverages with you in a bar setting. Im sure she would have said yes had you asked her to have coffee or eat babies. As for your drinking, you should have done what you would have normally without going overboard. Chris: Since you were at a bar Id ask her if she was OK with you drinking, but limit yourself to one or two drinks. Better yet, you could suggest that you leave and head somewhere else for coffee. But dont assume because she doesnt drink she doesnt want to be at a bar, the atmosphere may be what shes after. And Jessi is right, Sober Sallys willingness to meet you for drinks is a good sign shes interested. Id try to make out with her soon. What is a foot job? Ive heard the term but i have no idea what it really means. Is it like a blow job for feet? Dan, sophomore Jessi: I think its when you get a pedicure and start dating your pedicurist. Actually, according to my resources, a foot job is when a woman stimulates a mans member with her feet in an attempt to pleasure him. No toe-sucking is involved. Chris: Im deeming foot jobs to be the new Hotness of Spring 2005. For those of us who arent hipsters and lack class: a foot job can be anything involving feet to stimulate the junk. According to Internet porn, popular maneuvers include girls pressing the arches of their feet together and having the guy eff the space between. Or on the flipside, the toes can be used to stimulate the girls cookie or other nearby locales. (i.e. the butt)

A closer look at the metrosexual trend, and what it means to be a man today.
By Maha Masud, Jayplay writer

male
, 2-inch lanky frame out of bed at 7 a.m. and sleepily heads to the shower. After that, its time to put together the days ensemble, which means some serious closet consultation. Finding an outfit that matches isnt too difficult because the whole closet is color coordinated. Today he feels like going casual, so out come a gray Polo shirt, his favorite brand, Guess jeans that are faded just right and a black Armani Exchange belt to put around his slim waist. For accessories, a silver Breitling watch more like a navigation system hooks around his left wrist and Polo socks envelop his feet. A last glance in the mirror reflects shapely lips sheltered under a long but graceful nose. A 5 oclock shadow spreads across pecan brown cheeks and a cleft chin, but its the eyebrows he notices. Its time for another waxing appointment, he thinks to himself as he walks out the door. Sandeep Rangineni, St. Joseph senior and a self-proclaimed metrosexual, is now ready to face the day.

He rolls his 6-foot

dent. He used the word to describe a new crop of urban, heterosexual males, who have good incomes, shop at the best stores and are concerned about fashion and facials. Simpson says that this new masculinity is replacing the traditional repressed, unmoisturized masculinity, and that Hollywood, advertising and magazines are the cause. Men who care about clothes and grooming are growing in number, and a whole trend has unleashed itself on society as a result. The word metrosexual has taken on a life of its own. In 2003, metrosexual was voted as the word of the year by the American Dialect Society, which means that it dominated conversations in America during that time. Shows like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, along with facial products and hair care lines, have found a new consumer in hetero men with products created and marketed specifically for men. The male identity is getting a makeover, and the metrosexual is just one of the new looks.
Male as old as time Mans image has changed dramatically over the years, says Mark Justad, a member of the American Mens Studies Association. He says that the range of male identity has broadened to include and embrace the metrosexual trend. Identities are more flexible, says the Vanderbilt University professor of culture and religion, and as a result emotions and vulnerability traits stereotypically associated with females are now being linked to male heterosexual identity. Though the macho man image was prevalent in the past, its not to say that men In this age where image is everything and looks really do matter, its no surprise that women are no longer the only ones asking the mirror, Who is the fairest one of all. Men are joining the ranks of the styleand grooming-conscious public and are fashioning literally a new generation of men. Though the metrosexual trend is fairly young, the term itself was born more than 10 years ago. Mark Simpson, a journalist, coined the term in 1994 when he used it in the British publication The Indepen-

who cared about appearance simply didnt exist. Justad says the metrosexual man has been around for a long time, known by other monikers such as the dandy, who was an appearance-concerned man in the late 18th century. He says that the metrosexual is just a more evolved form of this kind of man. Sandeep Rangineni, who was voted best dressed in high school, says his friends often tease him about his color-coordinated closet. He says that he was raised to look presentable at all times and looks at dressing well as a sign of respect to his family. As a result, he never leaves the house without a collared shirt on. Ian Staples, Lawrence sophomore, remembers that he demanded to wear a suit and tie to school on the first day of first grade. Years later, Staples sports jeans and hooded sweatshirts to class, but he would prefer to wear a suit every day because he is more comfortable in slacks. The metrosexual trend is Staples proof that his penchant for nice clothes isnt out of the ordinary. I havent changed, but the world has changed to accommodate my tastes, Staples says. Rangineni, agrees, saying that the metro trend is just a testament to the changing views of society. He says that the explosion of mens magazines like GQ, Maxim, Mens Health (his favorite), drives this new metro-man idea because it gives tips and hints to dressing better, eating better, even dating better. Goodbye Sloppy Joe, hello Mr. Clean Ladies, beware of your next trip to the shopping mall or salon. You may be waiting in line behind a fashionable fella. Pampering, preening

and shopping are no longer limited to just females. The commercial world is picking up on this trend, which is a factor to its popularity, says Mark Justad, professor at Vanderbilt University. He says that mens magazines are a driving force behind the metrosexual madness because the fashion/hair care/skin care industry now has new consumers and need men to pay attention to their products. By creating images of whats currently in, marketing techniques use mens newfound self-consciousness to make sure they pay special attention to the products. A barrage of personal care brands like Suave, Nivea and Aveda have created products just for men to cleanse, care and coddle themselves with. ACNielson, a marketing research company, credits the metrosexualphenomenon as the reason behind the boom in the sales of personal care products. According to ACNeilsons Web site, the success in sales of maleoriented products is the reason why shower gels, one of the fastest growing personal care items worldwide, increased 7 percent in sales value in 2003. Image is an important part of the metrosexual mindset, says Jenny Coiner, stylist at LADA Salon and Spa, 4931 W. Sixth St. Coiner says that although men can go to a regular barbershop to get their hair cut, going to a salon creates a certain image that men want to portray. She says she has about 40 male clients who come through weekly to get services ranging from haircuts and waxing, to manicures and pedicures. She thinks that an increase in options for men is part of the pull. Typically women have had all of the body care options, but now men have more choices and are going against the old stereotypes. Rangineni gets facials and has his eyebrows waxed. Getting facials wasnt originally his idea. In high school, he used to

can express their sensitivity, vanity and enjoy the finer pamperings without being attached to homosexual stigma, says Karl Geiger, Sterling, Va., senior. For Justin Montgomery, Wellsville junior, it comes down what characteristics one defines as being a man. To him, being a man means responsibility and discipline, not fashion and grooming. He doesnt think being a metrosexual takes away from being a man though. Instead he says it takes discipline to look good. Who wants to wash their face before bed every night, and then put on a plethora of creams to have that perfect clear skin? Who wants to iron shirts and fold pants so they dont crease when you put them in the closet? If a guy cares that much, he will, Montgomery says. The metro movement has some people realizing that men and women are not so different, making the male identity much more pliable than in the past. Alankar Patel, St. Louis senior, says that metrosexuals blend male and female characteristics, making what it means to be a guy different in every Karl Geiger, Sterling, Va., senior. persons eyes. His biggest pet peeve is waiting for a girl to get ready, and he says that metrosexual guys might have more patience than he does when it comes to fashion. Its the level of comfort thats important, Patel Hey Dapper Dan Masculinity means different things to different people says, and for some it may be jeans, for others its nice these days. A metro mans sexuality is often questioned pants. Guys have been let off the hook about being a slob, because of his fashion sense or lifestyle. In the past, welldressed, sensitive men were assumed to be homosexual, says Randy Crowell, owner of The Haircut and Sakaroffs but that isnt necessarily the case anymore. Staples says the Salon, 12 E. Eighth St. He likes the idea that men that metro guys arent trying to be feminine but are defin- should be strong, sensitive and take care of their appearing masculinity in their own terms. What is normal now? ance, but he also says guys shouldnt go too far in getting Certain interests seem to be designated as hetero for a in touch with their feminine side. Crowell wanted a place guy while others are not. Metrosexuality is a way men for guys to go hang out and be guys,so he created The drive his mom to get facials, and one day she suggested he get one too. He enjoyed it and has been getting them ever since. Rangineni now goes monthly to a salon in Lawrence for hair cuts and waxing services and facials. With all the new options for pampering and preening themselves, men are trying to maintain manliness while living a luxurious lifestyle.

Haircut, 3727 W. Sixth St., an upscale barbershop just for men. Where most salons are geared toward female clientele, at The Haircut men can watch sports, shoot pool and just be guys. Crowell says its a matter of balancing characteristics to maintain differences that he says is OK to have. A more extreme version of Crowells viewpoint is a backlash against the metro trend. A marketing campaign to Save the Regular Guy, created by Consort Hair Care line, questions why a guy has to follow certain fashion rules, and touts its products as keeping men on the regular guy track. According to Consorts Web site, that means going back to a place where guys are guys, girls are girls, and no one is confused. For some women, a metro man usually doesnt cause confusion, though a females eye for the metro guy varies depending on the woman you talk to. Journalist Mark Simpson says that women regard metrosexuals in three ways: Appreciatively, as competition, or not at all. Adri-

enne Hill, Kansas City, Mo. junior, says she doesnt think metrosexual guys are weird or unmanly, and actually prefers a metrosexual-type guy. Yeah I approve of the trend, a guy who can dress well is attractive to me, she says. Hill and her boyfriend, a KU graduate, both define him as metrosexual. She likes how he keeps his place in Dallas so neat and organized. Hill also appreciates his attention to her and her clothes. She says he compliments her if she gets something new and makes an effort not to clash with her when they go out together. Jenny Rizzo, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore, is just the opposite. She likes her guy to be a guy. Being a low-key kind of girl, Rizzo says shed be irritated if a guy was too high-maintenance. A metrosexual type of guy just wouldnt suit her, Rizzo says, because his tastes and interests would be too different from her own, and she isnt attracted to that kind of guy.

The metrosexual trend has been scrutinized by a judgmental eye. While there are some out there who view the regular guy as a sinking ship they need to save, the general consensus of people, male and female, favors expanding the male identity and sees many characteristics of metrosexuals as improving upon the old image. Justad, Vanderbilt professor, says that metrosexuals are a sign of tolerance and open-mindedness in a playful, albeit important, way. No one likes generalizing though, and the term metrosexual seems too limited, with no definition sufficiently capturing this emerging type of man.

Interview:John Medeski
By Peter Van Auken, Jayplay correspondent writer Imagine a musician with the precision and range of a celebrated ballroom pianist (he was classically trained at a young age) then mix in a bit of American stank (wicked analog synth bends and blazing organs). This might describe John Medeski, savant keyboard player of the jazz/groove trio Medeski, Martin and Wood. Accompanied by bassist Chris Wood and percussionist Billy Martin, the band first hit the New York jazz scene in 1992. Their unique blend of instrumental music touches jazz, funk, hip-hop, Latin, avant-garde and beyond. You can catch Medeski Martin and Wood live at Liberty Hall on April 20. So you guys usually start your shows in free-form (laughs) Everybody says that, but yeah, we think this is good for us because it sort of calls in the improvisational spirits, paying them homage, so they give us something to do later in the show. Who out there can match your strength on the keyboard? Herbie Hancock. Im not even close to being on his level. Hes never played a bad note in his life. Or theres Jamie Staff; hes unbelievable. I dont even think Im that good, Ive got a lot to learn.

So youve always got a great mix of keyboards in your setup. What have you been playing with lately? Well, the piano keeps drawing me back, but Ive got this new Wurlitzer electric piano in my setup thats got this real nasally sound, kind of like a Far East organ. Its cool. What keeps you focused on your music? Drugs. No, Im joking. I dont know, theres just a lot of things I want to do. Its the actual things themselves that keep me going. If you were exiled to a desert island and you could take one book and one CD, what would you take? Id probably take a book of blank pages so I could draw and write stuff down myself. The CD, well, it would all depend on the day. I would either take John Coltranes Love Supreme or Glen Gould playing the Bach Goldberg Variations, his newest one.

The Jet Lag

Tucked between a gas station and an apartment complex, the Jet Lag, 610 Florida St., can be hard to find. The inside atmosphere doesnt suggest more from its suburban location, but I had a great time sipping on a beer. The Lag, as its known to regulars, offers a no fuss, relaxed evening out for a drink. Theres plenty of seating around the large bar or at the table surrounding the perimeter. During the weekdays, Jet Lag is less crowded, and I was able to huddle around one of the tables and chat with friends. Theres an outside patio with concrete floors and a wooden fence that doesnt add much ambience either, but it is a nice escape in warmer weather.

What not to wear

By Ashley Michaels, Jayplay writer

Im sorry, I cant let you in. The

doorman at Last Call is talking to a guy ahead of me in line. It has nothing to do with his age or lack of identification. As a matter of fact he is an athlete at the University of Kansas. He isnt allowed in the club because his hair is braided. According to Last Calls dress code at the time, braids are just one of the many things banned from the club. Last Call, 729 New Hampshire St., isnt the only bar or club in Lawrence with a dress code. Most bars, especially those with a dance club atmosphere, have guidelines concerning apparel that you have to follow. Although dress codes vary, some common things you cant wear to the bar are jerseys, wife beaters, torn clothing and skull caps. Clubs that consider themselves higher class, such as Abe and Jakes Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., Liquid, 806 W. 24th St., and Its Brothers! Bar and Grill, 1105 Massachusetts St., tend to have an even more extensive dress code. Dress codes at these bars prohibit sweats, gym shorts and velour suits. Dress to impress So why do bars and clubs have dress codes? Dress codes exist because if people are dressed nice they dont act as stupid, says Ronald Ruiz, owner of The Moon Bar, 801 S. Iowa St. Hip-hop night draws a little rougher crowd. If they are dressed nice they are less likely to get in trouble. Another reason dress codes are a must for most bars and clubs has nothing to with what people are wearing. People from surrounding towns come to Lawrence to party and issues arise between these people from out of town

and KU students, says Tyler Torneden, door manager at Abe and Jakes Landing. To keep these fights from occurring, these bars implement dress codes. We want the majority of the people in our bar to be KU students,Torneden says. We do this not only with a dress code but also by requiring KUIDs on certain nights. By enforcing dress codes, it keeps outo f - t o w n e r s unaware of what they have to wear in order to get into certain bars and clubs.

Is race the case? An issue often connected to dress code is race. Many people will argue that dress codes are used to keep people from different races out of certain bars and clubs. For instance, Last Call prohibits people with braids from entering its bar. A large majority of people with braids are not Caucasian so the dress code seems racist against African Americans and Hispanics. Ruiz believes that dress codes have nothing to do with race. It has to do with people being uneducated, Ruiz says. Its a fact that you can go out and have a fine time if you are dressed nice and you wont cause as much trouble, he says. I have seen it. Others say that race is an issue when

dealing with dress codes. Renita Davidson, Arlington senior, says that she has faced discrimination at a bar because of her race. She and two of her friends, who are also African-American, went to a local club and were denied access because her friend had on a collared shirt with the brand logo, Sean John, written on it. I dont think it had anything to do with what we were wearing because we were dressed nice, Davidson says. I just dont think they wanted to let three black people into their bar. Next time you head out for a night on the town, you might want to call ahead of time and coordinate your outfit with your bar or club of choices dress code. Otherwise, you may be all dressed up with nowhere to go.

Fever Pitch ()
PG-13, 103 Minutes, South Wind 12 Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon star in the remake of an adaptation from a novel that was set in England and based around soccer. But this heartwarming comedy successfully becomes an entity of its own in the hands of its directors, the Farrelly Brothers. Ben is a decent, likeable and funny guy; and a dream to Lindsay when she meets him. But her friends warn her: He must have something wrong with him to be single at this age. And there is hes a Red Sox fan. That says it all, apparently. It comes down to having to find a balance between the woman he loves and the love of his life, the Red Sox. Fallon and Barrymore work well together funny, charming and believable. Fallon brilliantly plays a character who is identifiable as having a deep passion for something, which we all know about, and having to bring together two parts of his life that eventually counter

each other. Barrymore is adorable, and plays the strong role of a woman letting herself love someone finally, and then feeling as though she is taking something away from him. The story is engaging, sweet and hilarious at moments, and at one point is coincidentally relevant to this area a great jibe at the KC Royals, which got a round of applause in the theater. Like most Farrelly Brothers films, the movie doesnt take itself seriously in any way, and while there are cheesy and predictable parts, there is also some surprising and dirty humor hinted at, keeping the audience entertained throughout. In many ways it is a step up again for the directors after films such as Shallow Hal, compared to which this film is far superior. Not a particularly fresh comedy, but one that will perhaps be better to wait for on DVD, to have a quiet evening in with a pizza and a group of friends. Michael Boyd

lock, who is both watchable and lovable, despite spouting quotes about designers and other Clueless-type remarks. With a few exceptions, she is surrounded by annoying characters who you wish would go away, and many of the scenes are obviously trying to be over-flamboyant and flashy for no particular reason. But the body of the film is a step away from the first, and unusually there is no love-story and what replaces it is a female buddy theme between Bullock and her bodyguard, Regina King, which actually works quite well. There are some humorous bits, such as Bullock dressing up as an old lady to find information, and her occasional fights with King, but it doesnt hold together well. Not a bad sequel to a film that wasnt a classic itself, and semi-enjoyable if youve got nothing else to watch. Michael Boyd

PG-13, 115 Minutes, South Wind 12 Sandra Bullock returns as tomboy detective Gracie Hart in the sequel to the 2000 hit comedy. Surprisingly very different from the first film, although it is by no means a stand-out comedy. What happened to Gracie Hart? She joined a national beauty pageant to try and solve a crime, and ended up winning the runner-up prize as well as snagging her villain. But now everyone knows her, and after an aborted mission because of her fame, she accepts the job of being the face of the FBI.

Born Into Brothels (1/2)

R, 86 minutes, Liberty Hall Winner of last years Academy Award for Best Documentary, Born Into Brothels is the story of eight young children growing up in the red light district of Calcutta, India. Their condition leaves them little hope for the future. Most of the girls will become prostitutes, and the men drug-addicts. Yet even in the midst of this destitution and filth, the innocent charm of these children rings out. The film not only documents the lives of these kids, but also allows the audience to see through their eyes. American film-

maker Zana Briski has been teaching these children photography, and armed with their own cameras, they give us a glimpse into their world. They take photos of everything, from their friends to dead dogs or drug dealers. The pictures are amazing, and Briski uses the sale of them to get the children into boarding schools. In these schools, the children will have a future, but many institutions will not accept a student from the red light district. It is amazing to watch these children cope with suffering around them. Most have no father, and their mothers are abusive. Many of these parents dont want their daughters to leave for school anyway. They see their daughters as another source of income once they become sex workers. But these children find strength in each other and in their photography. At one point Gour, a 13 year old boy, is asked why he would like to be successful in his work. He says with a smile that he would like to save his friend Kochi from becoming a prostitute. The indomitable optimism of these children is inspiring, but at the same time it is achingly painful to think of what will likely become of them. Briski is able to get many admitted into schools, but their mothers withdraw them after a few months. We never see what ultimately happens to these children, in part because that future is being written right now half a world away. As I left the theater I was faced with the realization that while I could leave this sad tale any time I wanted, that those children in Calcutta could never get away. Will Lamborn

Finding Neverland Movie () DVD ()

PG, 106 minutes. The story of Peter Pan has been retold and remade countless times on stage and screen, sometimes with success (2003s Peter Pan, starring Jason Isaacs as Captain Hook) and sometimes with overblown disappointment (Steven Spielbergs Hook). Finding Neverland tells a different and fresh perspective of the Peter Pan story: how playwright J.M. Barrie created Peter Pan based on the inspiration of another family he grew to have close ties with. Finding Neverland opens with Barrie (Johnny Depp, on some kind of roll) attending the opening of his latest and worst play. The day after, he goes to a local park with his dog and meets the widow Sylvia Davies (Kate Winslet, who had a great year of her own) and her four boys. Barrie is a grown-up with the imagination of a child, and the boys are instantly drawn to him, as is Barrie to the boys and their mother. He starts spending every afternoon with the boys playing games of

cowboys and Indians, and pirates. It is from here that Barrie draws his inspiration for his next play about a boy who doesnt want to grow up and a group of children he whisks away to Neverland. One of the cleverest techniques the filmmakers use is how they seamlessly cut between the pretend worlds Barrie can see and the real world, depending of the point of view the character has. Depp plays Barrie with wide eyes and boyish wonder, but with wisdom to go along with it and he totally owns his character. Almost every element of Finding Neverland works to perfection, from the acting to storytelling, and it is one of the best movies of last year. The DVD has some solid bonuses features, including commentary by the director and writers, deleted scenes, the usual making-of featurettes and outtakes.

Superchick
Beauty from Pain
I highly recommend this albumfor an eighth grade girls soccer team to listen to before a game or something, but not for anyone else. Superchick is a Christian girl band (the main vocalists are girls, anyway) that blends several styles ranging from straight pop, pop-rock, pop-punk and hip-hop. I use the term blend loosely because the record is extremely inconsistent in that each song represents a different style completely and characterizes only that style for the particular song. This is opposed to blending the different genres into their own

LISTEN
Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze
Attention ladies and gentlemen: bassist Nick Oliveri has left the Queens of the Stone Age. And it shows. The bands latest release, Lullabies to Paralyze, is the product of its career of revolving-door lineups and the loss of the mercurial Oliveri, who was one-half of the creative output of the band. It wasnt always this bad for the Queens. Resurrected from the defunct Kyuss, the Queens debuted with a selftitled album in 1998, but didnt really get on the radar until its woefully underrated 2000 album, R: Restricted to Everyone. Everywhere, All the Time. Things got exciting for the Queens in 2002 when they became the critics darlings with Songs for the Deaf , which received considerable attention because of their recruitment of ex-Nirvanas Dave Grohl to play drums. Grohl, whose Nirvana and Foo Fighters legacy has waned, punctuated the albums refreshingly abrasive, yet precise, hard rock/metal sound. The Queens shift vocals primarily between Hommes slick deadpan musings and Mark Lanegans guttural, raspy tone. The music itself was delivered mostly on the vehicle of Oliveris bass and Grohls drumming, teaming up to make the most infectious rhythm section in rock since Fugazi. But now thats all gone. Grohl went back to the Foos and some Nine Inch Nails on the side, and Oliveri left because of internal strife with Homme. Now Homme is on his own, but he cant stand on his own two creative feet without using Oliveri as a crutch. Lullabies to Paralyze takes the few rare languishing moments from its previous albums and makes an entire album of it. With the exception of a couple occasional minutes in Everybody Knows That You Are Insane, and Burn the Witch, there isnt much to keep fans of past albums to long for at least Grohls return, not to mention that of Oliveris.

unique sound. Bassist/vocalist Matt Dally even says its a cross between Black Eyed Peas and Blink 182; huh, maybe, if by cross between he means mixed tape of. The goal is of course (as is that of most Christian rock bands) to rip off popular styles of secular music to get the kids to listen to it and then infuse it with a positive Jesus message, resulting in unoriginal boring music that just makes you just want to listen to the band that they sound like anyway. Superchick churns out sugary sweet, spunky, energetic pop music with an upbeat message. They do show some musical talent and they would have had a chance at empowering a generation of young girls if it werent so cheesy. If you want something fun and cute, maybe download Its On (from iTunes of course, stealing is bad); that track should sum up the overall feel of the album. In closing, Beauty and Pain consists mostly of the latter as it spends most of its time trying to cram a freakin rainbow up your ass.

E Double
Cold in May
Spending those late nights staring at a computer screen, you often drift off into dreams of stardom that would take you away from the paper due in hours and school in general. Well, in 2001 four guys who met in Lawrence achieved what many can only dream about with the release of their debut album, From Here to Now. Four years later, E Double is back with their long-overdue sophomore album, Cold in May. Its evident the band members are from the Midwest. Their vocals give them an edgy country sound, but the music is not country. With up-tempo guitar playing, the sound E Double creates rivals that of Maroon 5 and Ryan Cabrera, a couple of

the artists they have performed with since the release of their debut album. The vocals harmonize unbelievably well with the music, allowing the listener to hear both at any given time with neither being overpowering.The flow continues from track to track, making it difficult to tell where one ends and the other begins. This ability seems to be taking a back seat to CDs that sound as if they are 12 singles on one disc. For a person who is not that into rock music, this is one CD that has definitely earned a spot in the CD changer.

Video games
Doom 3
Xbox, PC
Did I hear something? I pause a second and scan the area with my flashlight. The ray of light cuts into the darkness, showing me what the room looks like. Blood covers the walls and I can see several bodies littering the floor. Out of the corner of my eye I see a box of shells for my shotgun sitting by several rounds for my pistol. I put the flashlight away, surrounding myself in total darkness, to load my shotgun. Then I hear the burning sound of a demon straight from Hell. I turn to find the only source of light radiating from the demon itself as it throws fireballs from its claws. I fire at the demon. It screams as my shoot hits the mark. Im in complete darkness. Should I run? Should I pull out my flashlight and hope I can find the demon before its claws find me? I shoot randomly in the direction where I last saw it. The flash from the barrel of my gun illuminates the darkness for a millisecond and I see the demon right in front of my face lunging at me. I luck out: My random shot hit it in the face. I hear footsteps. I turn my flashlight back on and from across the room I can see two more imp-demons. Now its time to run. Doom 3 is that good. For those console gamers who have been waiting for its release on the Xbox, you wont be disappointed. All the nerve wracking, alone-inthe-dark moments have been flawlessly transferred. Along with this port of the singleplayer game comes a new multiplayer option. You can use system link or Xbox Live in a straight death-match or a cooperative mode. The only disappointment comes from the co-op. You cant use headsets, so trying to figure out what your partner is doing is like having a conversation with your computer. Luckily for me, I rented two copies and played with a friend over LAN. After five minutes of frustration, a primitive signal system of banging flashlights on the ground became a form of communication. It worked for a while until we figured out that dying comes with no consequences except you get all your life back and you leave most of your weapons where you died. Then the game became a run-and-gun race to finish the level. Even with these flaws, Ive never been so freaked out while playing a video game. Ive never enjoyed fighting demons so much and I couldnt ask for a better single-player experience. The multiplayer may be flawed, but the single-player is worth the A+ on its own.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

Xbox, PS2, Gamecube, PC
Perhaps the age-old developer adage If its not broken, dont fix it should have the phrase just make it better added to the end. That seems to be the attitude for sequels more often these days, and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is no exception. Third in the highly successful stealth action franchise, Chaos Theory once again gives players control of special agent Sam Fisher. This time, hes dealing with an international threat resulting from Japans creation of a new intelligence gathering agency. Global tension ensues. Anyone who has played the other two Splinter Cell games should know what to expect from the single player campaign. The controls and interface are fairly identical to the second title, with a few minor improvements. Sams repertoire has also been expanded to include knife moves, environmental attacks, and the ability to switch sides when aiming a weapon. The games multiplayer modes continue to expand upon the innovative brand of stealth multiplayer introduced in the second title. New is a two-player co-op mode that gives players four

unique levels to complete and a slew of cooperative maneuvers to use. Graphically, the game is at the head of its generation. Beautiful environments and amazing lighting effects meet with astonishingly realistic character models to create the most complete graphics package to date. Unfortunately, Chaos Theory was not created equally for all systems. The PS2 and Gamecube versions are basically neutered clones of the Xbox and PC releases, with reduced graphics, smaller environments and missing gameplay modes. Regardless, Chaos Theory is simply one of the most impressive stealth action experiences available. Those with the right system are in for a treat.

Lego Star Wars

PS2, Xbox
The Force is strong in the Lego Universe. If you are like me, then you cant wait for the release of the upcoming game or the movie. So, I took this game to try and satisfy my Jedi-battling hunger until the epic saga comes to a conclusion on May 19. Lego Star Wars is juvenile but entertaining. The game compresses all three prequels into one simple game through the Lego World. You can navigate through each Episode at any time. Each Episode is six chapters long and is very quick to progress through. When going through levels, you must utilize each characters special ability. For example, Jedis have the Force and use it to create and change Lego pieces, such as using spare Lego parts to build bridges for easy access. People with blasters can use grappling hooks to reach higher places. The combat is really simple to get around. It follows a standard platform gaming engine and it really only relies on jumping and pressing the attack button all the time. The levels are linear and

involve some puzzle solving, but nothing you really have to wrap your brain around. The most difficult part of the game is the Pod Racing stage. There are also things in each level that you can collect for extras, such as hidden Lego kits that create Lego Starships. If you want to collect them all then you may have to replay the game several times. Other than that and the ability to play as other characters such as Darth Maul and Jango Fett, there really isnt a lot of replay value for the game. Lego Star Wars was an OK game to help pass the time. It didnt fully satisfy my hunger, but it kept me entertained and showed a few spoilers. This game is fun and at least deserves a rental.

Confessions of a workaholic

Burned

parents. Having gotten a late start and knowing I had to be at the banquet hall in an hour, I was moving fast. The grass hadnt been mowed in what looked like months. After mowing for 40 minutes, I realized that not only was I not going to get done with the neighbors yard, but if I didnt get a ride home and then to work fast, I was going to be late for my next job. I called my dad and when he pulled up in the VW van in minutes, I was relieved. Great, I thought, Im going to make it to work and when I get home, Ill finish the lawn. So my dad, graciously going along with my plan, opened up the back of his van and cleared the way to make room for the mower. We lifted the big heavy red mower into the van. I gave it a good push and that was when I screamed. I had placed my left hand on the scorching silver metal portion of the exposed lawn mower motor. The pain was deafening, and I screamed uncontrollably until I had my hand submerged in ice water back home. At the hospital, we found out that I had a second degree burn on my hand. I looked down at the singed, wrinkled white skin in too much pain to respond to this news. The rest of the day is blurry to me filled with a drug store visit and heavy painkillers. I had driven myself into such a physically exhausted state that I literally became unable to operate machinery. Theres no reason it should have come to that. My mom would tell me, Anja, maybe youre doing too much, to which I would quickly retort, Well, maybe if you bought me a car, I wouldnt be doing this. Then the conversation would end. But looking back, I realize it wasnt just wanting a car that had me working at an unrelenting pace. This almost deadly characteristic of mine is part of who I am. And I grew up with a role model for this type of behavior: my dad. Hes a software engineer, a small business owner, an Olathe orchestra trombonist, an adult Sunday school teacher, a church elder, an avid runner and marathoner, a husband, a dad and for this year, a foreign exchange students dad too. No wonder I tend to juggle a lot. When Im on break and not working at the banquet hall, I feel guilty for not doing something productive. I cant even

The burn on my left hand was as

big as a doorknob and so large that I wasnt able to fit latex gloves around my blistered palm while I folded scratchy towels at the fitness center. The blistered burn was a constant reminder of the perils of overwork. And folding towels was only one of the four jobs I had that summer. I was 20 years old, and I didnt have a car. My solution: Stop at nothing to earn enough money to buy one. To me, that meant serving at a wedding reception until 1 a.m., turning around at 8 a.m. and folding towels at the fitness club the next morning, ringing up Osh Kosh overalls in my red Kids R Us vest that afternoon, working another dinner party that night and then waking up the next morning to mow a lawn before serving at a 9 a.m. breakfast day after day after day. I got the burn the summer before my junior year of college. I was coming off a weekend of three consecutive 14-hour shifts at the Kansas Speedway and a week of double shifts at the banquet hall. It was Saturday morning, and I was mowing a lawn at a house a couple blocks from my

sit through a movie without thinking about the homework I could be doing. I simply dont feel right if Im not busy. Its this little voice inside me that drives me to completely ignore my physical state and keep on working until I get what I want , even if that means lowering the overall quality of my life. I am taking baby steps to get better. I am a lot more careful now when Im feeling overworked. And last spring I stopped playing in the KU symphony orchestra, which bought me more than five hours a week. But still, I took 15 hours and worked 35 hours a week last semester. I guess Im just one of those people who cant seem to stop and take a breath. But my hope is that next time Im tempted to work until it kills me, the scar on my hand will remind me that theres more to life than buying a car or graduating with two majors or showing the boss how valuable an employee I am. This is life. It only comes around once. Slow it down. awinikka@kansan.com
