During my many long and sometimes painful (i advise anyone who is standing for more than fve hours not to wear heels) shifts of hawking sweaters and khakis, ive become a sort of customer psychologist. but instead of therapy, ill counsel them into fnding the perfect pair of jeans. my favorite, and typically the most interesting part of my session with a customer is fnding out why they want to buy something. almost always, a customer is out shopping for something specifc; a new dress for a friends birthday party or a sweatshirt for next weeks football game. unless youre buying on impulse, we usually have a reason for purchasing an item. but what if that necklace you bought not only made you more stylish, but also helped raise awareness for children in the Democratic republic of congo? or if a bag, besides carrying your books and laptop, helped support a ugandan family? with organizations like tomS and invisible children, customers not only look good, but they feel good when buying a product because they know its benefting someone else. For more on products that help others, check out Drews story on page eight. my Saturday afternoon therapy sessions might not be saving the world, but i like to think i push customers to think about what theyre purchasing.
4 10 06 11 KJHK CALLER ASKS: A week ago, I met a really nice guy and we hit it off right away. We expressed to one another that we were just looking for someone to go out and spend time with. Our frst offcial date went very well and I was cer- tain that wed see each other again because during the date he would make references to future dates. Well, a few hours after the date he texted me saying that while he had a nice time with me and liked me he wasnt ready for any kind of commitment and wanted to keep his options open. I have never connected this soon with someone and I could tell he was into me, but now suddenly Im rejected because he likes me too much? Or was this just his way of say- ing hes not into me? MICHELLE ANSWERS: After initially meeting this guy you ex- pressed your desire for a casual relationship. Is this how you truly feel? Or were you jumping on board with his desire; hoping that by agree- ing with him, you would get to date him? You had a great time on your frst date - wonderful - but he has not made an effort to see you again. Perhaps you left him with the impression that you were ready to be in a monogamous relationship. Remember, you told him before your frst date that you want the same dating relationship as he does: casual, no expectations, and fun. Again, is this some- thing you really desire? You also make the statement, "I never con- nected this soon with someone..." I agree, this is a wonderful feeling, but you only went on one date with this guy. Take your time getting to know a person before the fantasy of mo- nogamy sparkles in your mind. A long-lasting connection with a life-long partner takes much, much longer than a three hour dinner date. You must fnd compatibility in more than musical tastes, favorite foods, recreational ac- tivities or ultimate travel destinations. Morals, religion, children, family relations, money, sex, politics, handling of stress, communication, work ethic, education and spiritual compatibil- ity is vital in healthy, long-term relationships. Finally, he did like you! Something during your frst date made him concerned you were interested in more than a casual dating relationship. He is not looking for a serious relationship right now. His text was polite, sin- cere and honest. It seems as though, despite a mutual attraction, neither parties are on the same desired dating relationship page. As you move forward, be honest with yourself and your desired dating relationship. Are you searching for casual, multiple dating partners? Or do you want to fnd your next boyfriend immediately? Once you solidify your own desires, honestly communicate this to potential dating partners. I promise you there are men out there looking to settle down.

NOW FEATURI NG NOW FEATURI NG 5 10 06 11 When Andi Rose, a junior from Leawood, and her boyfriend of fve years broke up ear- lier this month, she knew it wasnt the end. It wasnt an ugly break up and because they had dated for so long, she knew a friendship would continue. We were always like, well always be friends no matter what because were so close, Rose says. While Rose and her ex-boyfriend remain friends, not all other exes go the same route. A 2004 NBC.com poll found that 48 percent of people surveyed remained friends with their ex, and 18 percent said theyve tried but it hasnt worked. With factors like rekindling feelings, new boyfriends or girlfriends and emotional attach- ment coming into play, its clear that being friends with an ex isnt always easy. Its also hard to fgure out when to stay friends or call it quits for good. Exes often fnd several reasons to keep some sort of communication in tact, especially when choosing to remain friends. According to April Masini, an online relationship advice expert, there are three main reasons why exes may want to maintain a friendship: 1. To give it a secret, second shot at love 2. To hold on while waiting for someone new to come along 3. Because they feel its the right thing to do While these reasons give justifcation to the friendship, it puts exes in a tough spot that may be even harder to leave than the initial break up. Even well-intentioned attempts at friendship after a break up may stir feelings you didnt know you had, Masini says. Initially it seems that only the exes will be affected by their friendship, but new boy- friends or girlfriends put a whole new spin on the situation. The new boyfriends or girlfriends can help reveal jealous tendencies and often lead to an awkward, three-person relationship triangle. Darshana Hawks, a relationship expert and licensed relationship coach, says when a new boyfriend or girlfriend arrives, the real reason for the other ex wanting to stay friends comes out. The friendships effect on a new partner really has to do with the exes intentions. A lot of exes claim they want to be friends, but most of the time its about emotional attachment, Hawks says. Soon, the ex and a new boyfriend or girlfriend will be vying for the same emo- tional attachment. Choosing to maintain a friendship is a completely personal decision by both exes. According to Hawks, its crucial to be honest about the break up and be clear about what both sides want in terms of boundaries when it comes to the friendship. In her opinion, its a complete case-by-case situation for deciding whether to stay friends is a good idea or not. It depends on what being friends with your ex means, she says. Theres a fne line between being friends and it being excessive. On the other hand, Masini thinks theres never an acceptable time to be friends after a break up. Friendships after break ups create uncertain circumstances, Masini says. The friendships hold at least one of you back, and often both of you. After breaking up, staying friends or quit- ting each other cold turkey arent the only op- tions. Its completely normal, and encouraged, for exes to remain cordial. A friendly smile or a wave when you pass each other eliminates the bad feelings from the break up, but doesnt lead on to anything more. Since Rose and her ex remain friends and have no hard feelings, they say hi to each other and talk about once a week. She says shes kept an open mind and has slowly worked into the friendship they have. I feel comfortable moving forward with my life and still being friends with him, Rose says. Some people have to stop everything, but thankfully we didnt have to. Dont want a post-break-up friendship? Masini gives these guidelines: 1. Surround yourself with friends and family. 2. Dont stalk your ex. 3. Test the waters, but dont dive in if youre not ready. 4. Dont go to your old romance hauntsfnd new ones. 5. Box up mementos, photos and gifts. Start fresh. 6. Nurture yourself. Dont drown your sor- rows in pizza, beer and Oreos. 7. Make lunch and dinner dates with your friends who you havent seen in awhile. 8. Figure out where you went wrong last time and how to do it better next time around. Want a post-break-up friendship? Hawks gives these guidelines: 1. Dont use the friendship as an out to breaking up completely. 2. Set boundaries and have honest conversations. 3. Be clear about what you want out of the friendship. 4. Do not be friends with an ex when you have a new partner. | CHRISTINE CURTIN | A break up is hard, but deciding how to move on can be even harder.

At the time it came out, I was 11 and thats the age wizards get their letter to Hogwarts. I swore they were going to ask me. I scare easily and make a weird face when something makes me jump. It would have to be a nice strawberry toaster strudel with two packs of icing. You know you should be waiting until the morning to eat it but you just want it then and there. But its past midnight so its OK. Sausage or supreme pizza. Lawrence has the 3 a.m. pizza places so I call one of those and go grab it. I would remake the Harry Potter series and put myself in it. I would be Harry. And I would probably make a lot of money so Id earn back a million dollars. Pay back my parents for all the blessings theyve given me, hold my own private Red Hot Chili Peppers concert and buy Sporting KC and give CJ a better contract. I watch Spongebob Squarepants on the regular. It is so funny and brings me back to the good old days and when I was young and all was good. The Ellen Show. She is pretty hilarious and when she dances, you dance. And Extreme Home Makeover. Its a bit of a tearjerker. I like those really old school horns that old school cars have. (Makes horn noises). That tube noise at the bank drive-thru. PHOOMP! Contributed photo 7 10 06 11 NOTICE What its like // to have an allergic reaction to exercise > We know youre curious. I was participating in a basketball competi- tion at my middle school in Accra, Ghana. My skin started to itch as I ran back and forth on the court with my friends. I thought I was itchy because it was incredibly hot, and I was sweat- ing like crazy. But then I saw spots on my on my arms and legs, in rows like a cornfeld. I ignored it at frst, running even harder to keep up with everyone, but the more I ran, the bigger they got. I discovered that they were ev- erywhere including my face. I started scratch- ing them and within seconds, they got bigger. On my arm, the hives came together in this huge blob. There were huge patches of red, swollen, itchy hives everywhere else on my body. I panicked and ran to tell my teacher. He grabbed some of my friends and took me into an empty classroom. They poured cold water on me, hoping that it would cool down my skin. Lit- tle holes appeared on each of the hives, clearly not helping the matter. Later I discovered this reaction was cold Urticaria. Some boys walked into the classroom. They hadnt seen anything like this before. They took one look at me and called me a lizard. It hon- estly looked like had scales. I put talcum powder on my skin and the hives went away. My mom thought Id grow out of it, so I never went to the doctor. But every time since then, the breakout comes back in ex- tremely hot or cold weather. I try to only go out in the perfect weather but it isnt something I can control. Walking across the campus in the heat is the worst, and working out at the recre- ation center is a challenge. I used to fear that one day the spots would stay on me forever. It was embarrassing because no one I knew had ever seen it before. Now Ive accepted this condition as a part of me. When she was 14 years old, Nana Agyen, a senior from Accra, Ghana, diagnosed herself with cold, heat and exercise-induced Urticaria. Anytime the weather is extremely cold or hot, hives cover her entire body. She has the same allergic reaction when she works out. Wescoe Wit// > Lol.

With only a few schoolbooks in his hands, he makes the all too familiar night commute, in the dark, from his village, Lacor, into the city of Gulu, Uganda. Walking for miles, Tony travels with other children from his commu- nity to their camp; its safer there. When Tony and the children reach their destination, they discover yesterdays rain standing an inch deep on the foor. Before Tony and his friends can settle in for the night, they must mop up the water as best they can with their clothes, blankets and buckets. This foor is their desk for homework and their bed for sleep. After clearing out as much water as possible, Tony and the other children lie down and pray they arent found in the night. Sixteen years ago, that was Tonys real- ity. He spent his days trying to get the best education possible in Uganda, a country located in central Africa, and spent his nights hiding from the Lords Resistance Army (LRA), a rebel army led by Joseph Kony. According to Tonys documentary, Konys army would invade villages in Uganda at night and kidnap children to fght in their battles. Because of Invisible Children, a non-proft organization existing to help end the use of child soldiers in central Africa since 2003, Tonys fear and night commuting came to an end. In the last decade, businesses, organiza- tions and campaigns like Invisible Children have gained popularity. Instead of just making a charitable contribution, people can still sup- port causes while getting something stylish in return. Offering products from necklaces to wine, companies such as Falling Whistles, TOMS, Invisible Children and ONEHOPE exist to offer products to people in exchange for funds to beneft others worldwide. Sara Jawhari, KUs Invisible Children club co-president, walks around campus with her black messenger bag. Its not until you see the bag up close that you see MEND stitched into the side and know its different than other messenger bags. MEND is a pro- gram Invisible Children created to stimulate northern Ugandas economy by providing jobs for women, Jawhari says. MEND bags, made from Ugandan cotton, are and produced at Invisible Childrens sewn product workspace in northern Uganda. IC seamstresses produce hand-crafted bags, all which bear the name of the individual woman who made them and come with a card that explains who made your bag, says Monica Vigo, Invisible Children public relations intern. The card has a link that takes you to an exclusive bio video introducing you to the seamstress. Fifty percent of all purchases go towards funding Invisible Childrens campaigns to raise awareness and support while the other half goes directly towards the children af- fected by the LRA and their families, accord- ing to Invisible Childrens website. Out of 1.8 million displaced Ugandans, an estimated 900,000 have been able to return home and end their nights of commuting to refugee camps because of Invisible Childrens work. Invisible Children isnt the only campaign raising awareness on the use of child soldiers in Africa. While they help those affected by the LRA, Falling Whistles exists to raise awareness of child soldier use in the Demo- cratic Republic of Congo. The Democratic Republic of Congo is located just west of Uganda. There, a young boy is commanded to the front lines of a war between the Congolese Tutsi rebel army and the Hutu rebel army, an ongoing war since 1997, according to FallingWhistles.com. The boy isnt trained or strong enough to use a gun, but Laurent Nkunda, Congolese Tutsi rebel army leader, doesnt leave this child soldier empty handed. As the young boy fghts back tears, hes handed a whistle and sent out to serve as a temporary barricade. As he stands beside other child soldiers, he places his whistle in his mouth and takes a deep breath. Waiting for the Hutu rebels to approach, he hears the thunderous chants getting louder and louder, and then, its time. The young boy sees the army and blows. Out goes his fnal breath, the whistle an alarm sounding to scare the enemy and alarm the Congolese solders the war is imminent. This boy is one of six million other fallen whistles in the last decade, according to the website, because of the continuous battles between the Tutsi rebels and Hutu rebels a confict tracing back to the 1960s when Belgium lost control of Central Africa. Falling Whistles, a campaign started in 2008, has a mission to stop the war in Congo by raising awareness of the countrys devastation. Founder Sean Carasso was in Congo when he met fve child soldiers who had escaped the rebel armies. Busco, Bahati, Serungendo, Claude and Sadiki were their names. No older than 15, but old enough to carry a gun, the boys told Carasso about the whistle blowers, the younger child soldiers. When Sean got back from Congo, he didnt have answers. Overwhelmed with the complexity of the problem at hand, he went to parties, screaming at people to pay attention to the deadliest war of our time, says Ashley Hogrebe, Falling Whistles intern coordina- tor. Eventually, he stopped getting invited to parties because no one wanted the crazy guy screaming about Congo around. Hogrebe says soon after, a friend of Carassos bought him a gift to keep the children soldiers alive in his heart a vintage whistle bought off of eBay. When he wore the whistle, he didnt have to yell anymore, Hogrebe says. People would ask him why he was wearing a whistle around his neck, and it gave him a chance to elevate common conversation rather than destroy it. It was then the Falling Whistles campaign was launched and whistles became a protest symbol. Falling Whistles sells necklaces online for anyone to buy to raise awareness about the war in Congo. All proceeds from the whistles go towards the rehabilitation of those affected by war in Congo, according to Hogrebe. Allen Schaidle, a sophomore from Meta- mora, Ill., has a Falling Whistles necklace and its not him starting the conversations about the whistle its other students. At frst when people notice the whistle, they joke around | DREW WILE | T RE NDS WI T H BE NE F I T S : LOOKING GOOD AND FEELING GOOD FEATURE Contributed photo Contributed photo 9 Falling Whistles roadies will be on cam- pus to present their campaign and help kick start the frst Falling Whistles college club at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 19, in Alcove F in the Kansas Union. To learn more about this campaign, visit falling- whistles.com and like Falling Whistles on Facebook. Invisible Children will also have repre- sentatives and a Ugandan student at the KU screening of its latest documentary at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 26, location TBA.

I fnd it humorous because their jokes repeatedly lead into a conversation discuss- ing the actually representation behind the whistle, says Schaidle. In 2009, 267 children were fully rehabilitat- ed and were provided with expression therapy therapy through music, dance, photography and sports to lift the shadows of war trauma, psychological support, job training and educa- tion because of Falling Whistles. Just as Invisible Children and Falling Whistles continue to expand and improve the lives of those affected by war in Africa, TOMS, a shoe company founded in 2005 to put shoes on the feet of those in need, continues to expand as well to help those around the world suffering from poverty in places like Tibet. A Tibetan womans eyesight is fading; shes never seen an eye doctor. She cant see well enough to walk around unfamiliar places. Her vision has been untreated for too many years now, according to TOMS Eyewear Blog. Shes too poor to afford eye care and she knows she will never receive the gift of sight. What she doesnt know is that TOMS released its eyewear collection over the sum- mer, One for One. Just like its shoe concept, for every pair of sunglasses sold, TOMS gives someone without the funds, the ability to regain sight. According to the TOMS website, depend- ing on the severity of the recipients eyesight, they will receive medical care, prescription glasses or sight saving surgery. As someone who has worn contacts and glasses most of my life, I am empathetic to the value of good eye care and the maintenance of correct vision in the ability to live a produc- tive and fulflled life, says Danielle Brower, a senior from Overland Park. Blake Mycoskie, founder and chief shoe giver at TOMS, says the companys currently repairing sight in Tibet, Nepal and Cambodia and its putting shoes on feet in 23 countries, including China, Argentina and Africa. So far, more than 2 million children in those 23 coun- tries have received a pair of new shoes. While tragedy and poverty sparked the be- ginning of Invisible Children, Falling Whistles and TOMS, cancer and disorders inspired the beginning of ONEHOPE, a California wine com- pany dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer and disease as well as supporting childrens hospitals and American troops. The inspiration to create a wine company for a cause came to Jake Kloberdanz, ONE- HOPE CEO and co-founder, when his friend Morgan Lewis was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma at age 23. Lewis took the news the best way any young woman could, accord- ing to Tom Leahy, ONEHOPE president and co-founder. Kloberdanz, who at the time was working for Gallo Wine Company, wanted to use of his passion for wine and passion for making a difference. After he received the news about his friends diagnosis, ONEHOPE was born, ac- cording to Leahy. Six months after that, bottles were being corked. Each wine produced supports everything from environmental causes to AIDS aware- ness, and 50 percent of all proceeds are do- nated while the other 50 percent goes towards the wines production. For example, by buying its Chardonnay, you help fund breast cancer research and by buying a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, you help fund research for autism, the least known about disorder in the world, according to Brandon Hall, co-founder and chief marketing offcer at ONEHOPE. Kara Lewis, a junior from Liberal, and her family are big ONEHOPE Wine supporters. When my cousins frst told me about ONEHOPE and all the causes it supports, it made me wonder if the wine was even tasty, says Lewis. If the company was only about the causes, the wine probably wouldnt be [good], but the people who founded ONEHOPE had been in the wine business before, and its all delicious. So far, ONEHOPE has raised more than $400,000 for its partner charities, which can be found online at ONEHOPEWine.com. Next time you need to replace your shoes, sunglasses and bags, restock your wine sup- ply, or update your accessories collection, make it count. There are several opportunities to give back, to make a difference, to stand for something bigger then you can imagine. Be the voice for those without.

She sug- gests a multivitamin. It might boost your energy or immune system, she tells you. Besides, buy- ing a $10 bottle of vitamins allows you to keep consuming alcohol, depriving yourself of sleep and eating like hell because the supplement will make up for what youve been lacking. The diffculty is decoding the different vita- mins within a multivitamin. Kevin Connolly, a nutrition and diet writer, says its impossible to rank the importance of vitaminsthey are all equally important. Essential vitamins in hu- mans are the B complex vitamins and vitamins A, C, E and K, Connolly says. Multivitamins will do the trick, but to maxi- mize the benefts, consider going with a com- pletely natural supplement like Heather Barney, a senior from Flower Mound, Tex., does. Barney takes a vitamin made out of 12 different dehy- drated fruits and vegetables. She takes two fruit and two vegetable capsules per day.

Stejskal says when he hits the gym on an empty stomach he has less sustainability. If I havent eaten any- thing, I notice I just cant go as long, Stejskal says. Amber Long, assistant director of ftness for KU recreation services, says its bad to exercise without eating anything because you wont have the needed energy during your workout. At the same time, heavy, fatty foods and big meals slow you down and should be avoided, Long says. So what pre-workout foods provide the deli- cate balance of substance without being heavy? Long says bananas, peanut butter sandwiches, nuts, fruit and granola bars are all good foods to eat before a work out. Before hitting the gym, Stejskal follows these food guidelines. I try to eat something light, like a protein bar or some chocolate milk, Stejskal says. The meal after a strenuous workout is also important to consider. Long says its ideal to eat within 30 minutes after exercising. Eat some- nothing fake about them, Barney says. These nature-made capsules have made Barney healthier and provided her with more energy. thing high in protein and carbohydrates to repair any muscle damage done during the workout, Long says. For post-workout foods Long sug- gests dairy products or a full meal. Verdict: Its bad to exercise on an empty stomach.

Some families relate through an outing to the movie theater or maybe by sitting down and eating a meal together, but more and more families are sharing similarities through something more serious than popcorn and green bean casserole. Some families are alike through illnesses that have been passed down genetically. The breakdown of diabetes and the different kinds goes like this: Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are similar in that they both contain hereditary links. However, Type 1 diabetes is thought to be an autoimmune process that destroys the insulin producing cells in your Pancreas, according to registered nurse and diabetic educator, Catherine Parkhurst. Type 2 diabetes includes a lifestyle link meaning it can increase with age, high blood pressure, inactive lifestyle, and obesity. Blood sugar goals and healthy lifestyle choices are a component of management in both types of diabetes, Parkhurst says. A DAy i n t he L i f e Parkhurst says that monitoring your blood sugar can require up to 8 to 10 insulin injections daily. Type 1 diabetes requires insulin through a pump or injections, and Type 2 diabetes may need oral medications, injections or just diet and exercise to maintain blood sugar. Parkhurst notes that the biggest risk, day to day, is preventing severe high or low blood sugar that not only will make someone with diabetes feel lousy, but can affect your ability to function normally. I usually drink diet sodas and try to avoid eating candy, but if I do decide to have them, I make sure I take insulin, says Alex Dimas, a senior from Overland Park. Of the 2.3 million freshmen that enrolled for college this fall, 7,700 suffer from Type 1 diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association. It can affect their diets. It can force them to inject themselves with insulin every few hours. It can potentially take them out of school. Cumbow had to withdraw from the University her second semester of her sophomore year because of diabetes. She had been diagnosed with Neuropathy and had to fy back home to Florida to meet with doctors and have her parents look after her. Neuropathy is damage to a single nerve or group of nerves that can eventually lead to complete loss of movement. In Cumbows case it was in her feet. It was brought on by her diabetes. It wasnt until my feet swelled at a sorority retreat, stayed swollen and were excruciatingly painful that I allowed myself to stop, Cumbow says. Even after fying home and being put in the hospital, her feet were still swollen and painful. I cant even begin to describe the pain. The only thing that relieved it was to sit in the hospital bathtub for six hours a day, says Cumbow. I couldnt even have a sheet graze them without it feeling like my feet were being stabbed by needles. While Cumbow was in a Florida hospital, her life fell apart. I lost my college life, my school, my semester, my sorority and my friends, Cumbow says. Cumbow went through physical therapy to relearn how to walk, and after that time, Cumbow slowly got her life back on track. Cumbows feet are still sensitive, but she is happy and back at KU. Having the disease themselves isnt the only thing these college students worry about. What about their kids? They may pass it off to them and have to watch them experience what they went through. But Dimas isnt concerned that his kids may get Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes usually skips generations, so Im not worried that my kids might have it, but there is a risk that my grandchildren might have it, he says. His grandfather has Type 1 diabetes, and none of his children have it, but Dimas, his grandchild, does. Having a disease that you had little or nothing to do with is hard to grasp, but these students are accustomed to the changes and restrictions. I have learned to take diabetes day by day, hour by hour, Cumbow says. Bittersweet Bittersweet having diabetes as a college student | Bre roach | Photo by Chris Neal 12 10 06 11 Its the night before a big test that you havent even begun to study for. With your six- pack of energy drinks at the ready, you fnally decide to dive into chapters of your book you havent read and skim through lecture notes on topics you vaguely remember the teacher talking about. The all night cramming session has begun. Luke Bowers, a junior from Marion, Kan., knows this scene well. Bowers says he sometimes feels overconfdent when a test is approaching, so he puts off studying until the night before. He then tries to cram as much knowledge into his head before trying to get a few hours of sleep. He says he generally gets Bs on his exams, but the cramming sometimes throws a C or D his way too. But, are you really going to remember all that information being crammed into your brain in one night though? Chances are you wont remember much. Pulling all-nighters for your exams probably wont get you the grade you want on a test, because you not develop- ing the mental cues needed for your brain to access the information properly. Dont worry though, theres an easy fx for this. Instead of cramming for your exams spread out your studying throughout the week, says Andrea Greenhoot, a cognitive psychol- ogy professor and expert of memory at KU. If you are learning the material across a week in three hour chunks, then in between those periods something else might remind you of what you learned, Greenhoot says. So, before your next test comes around, try setting aside some study time in advance. ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // CRAMMING FOR A TEST > In case of an emergency, read quickly. | CHRIS NEAL | Fall is my favorite season, changing leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, and the perfect combina- tion of comfy blue jeans and hoodies. What if I didnt have my favorite pants to rely on? I have a slight addiction when it comes to jeans; and, because they go with almost everything. I rarely wear anything else. My other options: corduroys, shorts, sweat- pants, and dress pants. I decided to go with the corduroys frst, I had forgotten I had them, and how much I liked them. The second day I had to work after class so I wore my dress pants. I was dressed nicer, but I felt like I stuck out, next to my classmates who were wearing casual outfts. As the week went on and I ran out of options I had to wear sweatpants. Unless Im sick I hate wearing sweatpants to class. I just feel sloppy when I do. Its easy to fall into the rut of just wearing jeans and a sweater every day, but Kansas City-based wardrobe stylist Jessie Artigue says one of falls big trends, the trouser, are an easy switch to change up your style. Im seeing a lot of cropped length trousers with a narrow leg, its easy to take an outft you would wear with jeans and wear trousers instead, she says. Going without my jeans, pushed me to put thought into my outfts, and while I may not be able to get rid of my jeans completely, on my next shopping trip I will defnitely aim for variety- and a pair of trousers. DOING WITHOUT // WEARING BLUE JEANS >Absence makes the heart grow...? | KATIE JAMES | With cooler weather on its way why spend $20 on a knitted beanie in a store when you could make your own for a fraction of the cost? Knitting isnt just for your grandma any- more, theres an endless variety of colors and patterns to ft your style. If you dont know how to knit, the Yarn Barn is here to help. The Yarn Barn has everything you need to get started, supplies, how-to books, and most importantly, classes. We offer a variety of classes based on skill level, and even have short, one day classes so that even if you dont have a lot of time, you can still learn the foun- dations to get you started, says Wendy Kim- Luellen, class coordinator at the Yarn Barn. For me the best part is seeing the reactions of the students, who come back to work on other things and are inspired by the projects they made, she says. It can be tricky at frst, but once you get the hang of it, its really enjoyable says Bree Fausnaught, a sophomore from Wilmington NC., who has been knitting for about a year. Its nice to be able to know you can make something that someone would actually use, and cool to see them wearing it. So next time you reach for that expensive sweater at a department store, consider learning how to make your own. For more information, or to sign up for a class visit: yarnbarn-ks.com, or stop by the store, located at 930 Massachu- setts Street.

In order to score, one must place a washer into the box, into the can that is in the box, or within one foot of the box. Beanbag toss: Can be played as either doubles or singles. In doubles play, four players split into two teams. One member from each team pitches beanbags from one platform and the other members pitch from the other. The frst side of players alternate pitching bags until both players have thrown all four of their bags, then the players pitching from the opposing board continue. Ladder ball: Played by throwing bolas (two balls connected by a string) onto a ladder. Each ladder has three rungs, each rung scoring a different point value. One common method of scoring is to have the rungs be one, two and three points. The bolas suspended on the ladder score the points for that rung, often with the goal of get- ting at least 21 points to win. Beer frisbee: The frst team tosses the frisbee, aiming it to- wards a glass bottle that is placed on top of the stake opposite them. After scoring, the other team throws the Frisbee at the frst teams bottle, trying to score points. Play continues until one player/team has reached the set amount of points (typically 21). One team must beat their opponent by at least two points. MANUAL Football and tailgating go together like pea- nut butter and jelly; its tradition. Want to plan a killer pre-game party and dont know what to do? Follow the advice of these experienced hosts to get your bash off on the right foot. Why do so many students, alumni, and visi- tors tailgate before games? A tailgate is a good way to build up team spirit before the game starts, My roommates and I host because we live really close to the stadium, and we like to get all our friends together to drink, play some games, and enjoy each others company before we go to the game, says Pat Carter, a senior from Lenexa, who hosts a tailgate every home game with his roommates. Whether your gathering is going to be big or small, planning is a key to keep everything running smoothly. We have weekly meetings to discuss what we want to accomplish, and then on game day we start setting up three hours before the game starts, says Dakota Strange, head of the spirit committee for SUA, which coordinates the Hawks Nest tailgates. Hawks Nest tailgates run two hours before kick-off and are open to members. They fea- ture things like free food and reserved seating at the games. We want to make sure we have enough food, and enough spirit items for all the students who want to come, he says. Besides having food, there are other essen- tial elements to keep in mind such as guests and a welcoming environment says Stefani Gerson, coordinator of student programs at the KU Alumni Association, who coordinates the Home Football Friday tailgates at the Alumni Center. If its not welcoming, then its just an empty lawn. You want people to come, and to be sure that they arent waiting on the buffet line to be reflled, she says. Home Football Friday tailgates are from 11 to 1 p.m. and include free food and games for all students. Music or a TV to keep track of other football games can also help draw people in. Tailgates are a good way to bring people together, bond them over a common inter- est. Jette Higgins, a senior from Hutchinson, encourages those who have never been to a tailgate to check one out, Even if you dont drink you can still go and socialize, and a lot of them have great food. It gets you excited for the game rather than just sitting around waiting for the game to start, she says. Cheering for a team brings a sense of camaraderie to those around you. College football is a great thing, and you only have so many opportunities to experience it, so go with an open mind and enjoy yourself, says Strange.

But this time, its different. First appearing to the public in 1994, The Lion King is back and taking charge. Storywise, most of the audience already knew what was going to happen. Simba (voiced by Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Matthew Broderick) is the prince of the pride and adores his father Mufasa (James Earl Jones). His happiness is soon shattered when his evil uncle, Scar (Jeremy Irons), tricks Mufasa and murders him. Simba, striken with grief, runs away from the kingdom and befriends Timon (Nathon Lane) and Pumba (Ernie Sabella) who help him in his journey of fnding out who he is. Its a coming-of-age story that is visually appealing and features music by Elton John and Tim Rice. Its mostly the nostalgia that lures you in. It takes you back to the days of begging your parents to rewind your VHS copy so you could watch it over and over again, skipping through the scary death scene, of course. Some people think 3-D movie is a waste of time and just another tool to swindle you out of your money. For The Lion King 3-D, its simply a way for college kids to relieve their childhood all over again.
