Students are opting for nutritional meals, including fresh fruits and vegetables, in their daily dining routines. On campus,
maintaining a healthy diet is tough, but many dining areas provide healthy meal options.

Prepare for post-graduation
job interviews with these tips

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
healthy haBits
With graduation around the
corner, here are 10 tips for landing
that professional job and avoiding
having to move back in with your
parents.
1. dont paniC
Searching for a professional job
is a creative, yet vexing, process.
However, as Bill Watterson,
author of the Calvin and Hobbes
comic strip, said, You cant just
turn on creativity like a faucet.
You have to be in the right mood.
What mood is that? Last-minute
panic.
Even if soon-to-be graduates
have not even started a job search,
its never too late to start, said
Chance Clutter, career counselor
for the University.
While panic can help motivate
students, it is going to take time
and effort, Clutter said.
2. But dont wait around
too long
The National Center for
Education Statistics estimates
1,791,000 students will graduate
with a bachelors degree in 2013,
which means there is plenty of
competition for job openings,
Clutter said.
By delaying a job search,
you might be missing those
professional opportunities that
exist right now, but may not
exist after the summer, Clutter
said. If you are looking for that
career, waiting around isnt going
to help.
3. suit up!
When it comes time to ask
for your graduation gift, Clutter
recommended asking for a suit to
wear to job interviews instead of
the usual request for cash.
The suit will get you cash
later, Clutter said.
The University Career Center,
located in 110 Burge Union,
allows students to borrow up to
five pieces of professional attire to
use for interviews.
4. Be aware of your online
presenCe
Most employers will do some
sort of Internet search on job
candidates, Clutter said, which
includes Facebook and Twitter.
Nothing is private online,
Clutter said.
Students can improve their
online image by using social
media, including creating a
LinkedIn account and interacting
with potential employers online,
Clutter said.
5. network, network,
network
Beyond LinkedIn, students
should actively make company
contacts with potential employers
at career fairs, with friends
employers or through internships,
said Cynthia Valdivia, corporate
recruiting manager for Abengoa
Bioenergy Corporation in
Chesterfield, Mo.
In this world, its all about who
you know, Valdivia said. All the
jobs Ive gotten are because of
who Ive known.
6. treat past employers
well
Valdivia recommended never
speaking ill of previous employers,
especially in an interview.
If youre talking bad about
them, youll talk bad about us,
Valdivia said.
When considering hiring a
potential employee, companies
do look at work history and call
references, said Misti Mustain,
director of specialty services for
Labette Center for Mental Health
Services, Inc., in Labette County,
Kan.
We look for students who
show they are looking for a career
and loyal to a company, Mustain
said.
7. volunteer outside work
Employers are looking
for balanced employees who
volunteer and have other interests
outside of work, Mustain said.
Working unpaid internships does
not count.
We favor people who do
volunteer work because it
shows they have a level of care
and compassion about their
community, Mustain said.
Compassion is important in
every job that the Labette Center
hires for, including nurses,
therapists and case managers.
We can teach you the skills
of working the job, but we value
people who have integrity,
Mustain said. Thats not easily
taught.
8. Be aggressive. B-e
aggressive!
Many students who come to
Clutter for career guidance say
they are looking for any job.
Really, theyre not, Clutter
said. We need to figure out where
their interests lie so we can focus
the search to be more intentional
about the job search.
No matter the job hired for,
Jeana McCune, manager of
learning innovation for H&R
Block in Kansas City, Mo., said
she is looking for people who are
passionate about what they do.
Its really important to talk
about your passions and what your
career goals entail, McCune said.
Even if youre not graduating this
year, its still important to have
your career goals two to five years
ahead of time in mind.
To show interest in the company,
Valdivia advised asking a question
at the end of the interview. And
of course, always follow up with a
thank-you note.
If you dont hear anything
after a week, follow up with a
phone call or email, Valdivia said.
It shows youre persistent.
9. Bring a resume to the
joB interview
Even if potential employers
only look at a resume an average
of 15 seconds before deciding to
give a candidate an interview,
Clutter said3 bringing a resume
to a job interview is a must.
One person didnt get hired
because they didnt bring their
resume, Valdivia said. We want
to make sure youre prepared and
pay attention to the details.
10. rememBer, internships
Can lead to full-time
positions
Even if students are only
offered an internship rather than
a full-time position, if its in a field
they want to be in, its still worth
pursuing, Clutter said.
Its a good way to get inside
the company and meet people,
Clutter said. Around 50 percent
or so will turn into a full-time
job.

Food enthusiasts bring passion for nutrition to campus

Having worked in an assisted

living facility for 10 years, Karla
Wessling has seen the realities of an
unhealthy lifestyle.
You see those people who have
had Type 2 diabetes for so long that
their legs have been amputated,
she said.
It was here that Wessling, a stu-
dent in the dietetic program at KU
Medical Center from Baldwin City,
felt that she could do more. As she
worked her way up from cook to
dietary manager, she realized her
dream of becoming a dietitian.
Its a natural career path for
Wessling, who has always worked
in food service. From 1994 to 1998,
she worked a block away from her
home at Baker University in the
cafeteria. She said that although
no one really cared about nutrition
in the 90s, she found a passion for
providing food to people.
A self-described clich per-
son, Wessling loves cooking
Thanksgiving dinner on her own
from start to finish for she and her
husbands extended family every
year. She calls herself a vegetable
eater, but would rather serve a
sweet, decadent dessert because it
makes people happy.
After working at one end of the
spectrum, Wessling did a 180 and
spent last falls clinical portion of
the internship at Childrens Mercy
Hospital developing dietary strat-
egies for patients and educating
their adult counterparts.
Wessling hopes the message
reached them in more ways than
one.
Many of the children, theyre
born with different anomalies,
where in the adult population,
sometimes but not always . . . your
lifestyle habits turn into your health
problem, she said.
Between the internship at
Childrens Mercy and watching her
14-year-old son and his friends
grow up, being around young peo-
ple has played an important factor
in Wesslings desire to spread nutri-
tional knowledge.
Now at the management portion
of her internship at KU Dining, she
has the opportunity to work with
a slightly older yet equally critical
demographic: college students.
My gear has changed, she said.
I worked with the elderly and I
learned about nutrition, but then
watching children grow up actually
made me passionate about pediat-
ric nutrition.
Brandon Volz couldnt stay away
from KU Dining after graduating
in 2010. He loved his job he held
at the Studio at Hashinger as a
freshman into his senior year, and
then returned about a year ago to a
supervisor position at Oliver Hall
and now, North College Caf.
Volz has a passion for his job,
where he gets to experiment with
new ingredients and recipes that are
newer, better, fresher and healthier.
His blue eyes seem to light up as
he speaks with genuine excitement
about the different flavor profiles
of fish, learning to saut and mov-
ing out of his comfort zone to work
with vegetables, grains and fruit.
It doesnt ever feel like work,
he said. I love everything about
this job.
He isnt much of a baker, he said,
but he is an avid fan of cheesecake.
In fact, his recipe for mini cheese-
cake shooters made its way to the
dessert tray at North College Caf.
The atmosphere of wellness KU
Dining promotes prompted the
energetic Volz to make a change in
his own life. While he was working
at Applebees after graduation, he
woke up one day feeling lethargic,
weighed down and subdued. He
needed a change of atmosphere
and took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to return.
Now, Volz and the staff of North
College Caf try to personally con-
nect with their diners. He gives
an example of an upset student
when the Caf runs out of Fruity
Pebbles.
When that happens, we explain
to our staff that its not necessarily
that that persons crazy or anything,
it means maybe something hap-
pened to them during the day
maybe the only thing they wanted
to make their day better was a bowl
of Fruity Pebbles, and thats what
we want to be able to provide, he
said.
When Volz comes to work, he
finds interacting with students
makes the job meaningful.
I get excited when I come to
work, Volz. Theres a vibrance
and an energy thats really present.
Its not just coming in and handing
them a sandwich, its making a dif-
ference in their day.
For Volz, cooking has taught him
to be fearless in trying new things.
His own mothers words continue
to echo through his mind.
My mom always told me that
Im not allowed when it comes to
eating, I cant say I dont like some-
thing until I try it once, he said.
At her home in Baldwin City,
Wessling tries to keep fresh options
for she and her son, Ryan.
Although Wessling admitted to
not eating vegetables regularly until
college, her son loves vegetables
and asked for a Magic Bullet for
his birthday to make smoothies.
Thats what makes me think,
Yeah, Ive probably instilled some
good habits into his life, Wessling
said. And hopefully, hell keep
them.

HEALTH
When Ted Johnson walks by
Fraser Hall, he notices something
intriguing about the blooming
yellow and red tulips in the flower
bed. Unlike their cousins only
a few hundred feet away by the
marquee outside Watson Library
that stretch straight up to the sun,
these blooms all bend slightly to
the northeast.
Johnson, a professor emeritus of
French who has walked past Fraser
since coming to the University in
1968, cant help but wonder why.
On this years Stop Day walking
tour, The Perspectives on the
Monument of Mount Oread, he
hopes to find out.
Theres a certain humor in
these things, Johnson said.
For more than 20 years,
Johnson has led a public walking
tour of campus, focusing on his-
torically significant locations. As
the tour covers different topics of
discussion over the course of nine
hours, attendees are encouraged
to come and go.
When the Spencer Art Museum
opened its doors in the new build-
ing in 1978, Johnson felt liberated
from boring projector slides as he
realized he could incorporate real
works of art into his classroom.
Explaining that campus comes
from the Latin word for field, he
would lead his humanities classes
across campus, discovering pine
trees and grasses that arent native
to the state of Kansas. These
strolls inspired an annual walking
tour open to the public.
The word idea comes from
the word to see things different-
ly, Johnson said. On this tour,
the idea is to stroll around. Ideas
pop up, and then we cultivate
them.
As the sun peeked from 14th
Street on his first tour in 1991,
Johnson explained how Lawrence,
Tiananmen Square and ancient
Roman cities are all arranged
alike on an east-west grid. To
understand the Natural History
Museum building, he considers
that the limestone is 320 million
years old older than the stego-
saurus of the Jurassic period. As
the group passed the Campanile
on a recent tour, another profes-
sor recognized a line from an
unfinished Cicero poem, Cedant
arma togae, engraved on the
WWII memorial.
I learn so much each time I
do this, Johnson said. If there
are, say, 10 or 20 people in the
group, we have hundreds of years
of experience right there, of com-
petence and knowledge that they
can contribute.
The tour begins Friday morn-
ing at 9 a.m. in front of the Natural
History Museum. Events end at 5
p.m. outside Spooner Hall with a
summary of the days dialogues.

Summertime can mean sun-
shine, hanging out at the pool, and
wandering around downtown and
enjoying the freedom of no classes.
But summer can also be a time to
get in shape and explore ways to
stay active in Lawrence.
Various gyms and fitness cen-
ters offer workout classes during
the summer.
Aqua Zumba, offered at the
Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center
located at 4706 Overland Drive, is
a workout that integrates Zumba
with traditional water fitness.
For a more intense workout, the
Douglas County Senior Services,
located at 745 Vermont St., hosts a
circuit training boot camp. Varied
exercises, such as jumping rope,
agility and speed training, make
for a full-body workout.
Douglas County Senior Services
also offers ballroom dancing les-
sons. Participants learn dances
such as the cha-cha, East Coast
swing and the waltz.
The Community Building
dance studio, located at 115 W.
11th St., also offers dancing les-
sons. The lessons include belly
dancing, adult tap, country danc-
ing and hip-hop.
Yogilates is a combination of
pilates and yoga. The workout,
also offered at the Community
Building, integrates the flexibility
and relaxation of yoga with the
core workout of pilates.
If someone is looking for a high-
intensity full-body workout, they
can join the CrossFit Lawrence
Family, located at 815 E. 12th St.
This strength and conditioning
program increases participants
stamina and endurance while
improving their body composi-
tion.
Title Boxing Club offers box-
ing and kickboxing classes and
will implement a full-body
weight training class this sum-
mer. Everyones first class is free,
and the club offers two weeks of
classes for $21 or a year-long
membership fee with unlimited
access to the gym.
Steve Nichols, a trainer at Title
Boxing Club, said boxing takes
cardio and makes it fun by let-
ting out aggression.
Any time you get to punch
something during the week is a
good stress relief, Nichols said.
June is National Great
Outdoors Month, and Lawrence
offers several ways to be active
outdoors. People can go golfing
at Eagle Bend Golf Course at
1250 E. 902 Road, right below
the Clinton Lake dam. Clinton
Lake is also home to nearly 30
miles of trails on which people
can bike, hike or run.
Collin Earhart, an employee at
Sunflower Outdoor and Bike at
804 Massachusetts St., said bik-
ing is a great way to get out and
explore the community. He said
people who bike in Lawrence are
lucky because they have multiple
options for trails. Besides Clinton
Lake, there is a nine-mile River
Trail in North Lawrence. Earhart
said biking can be beneficial to
college students because its an
easy way to get around town.
With campus on a hill, you
get a workout just going to class,
Earhart said.
Earhard also said biking is a
good way to kill a hangover.
The Ambler Student Recreation
Fitness Center launched its bike
rental program in April. Twelve
bikes are available: eight moun-
tain bikes and four comfort bikes.
Rates are $8 per day, $16 per week-
end and $24 for an entire week.
The Rec also has a long list
of other outdoor activity rentals.
Students, faculty and staff can rent
camping chairs, coolers, tents,
sleeping bags, stoves and cooking
sets, climbing shoes, backpacks,
kayaks, canoes and frisbee golf
sets.
Canoe KU will host a canoe trip
on the Buffalo River in Arkansas
on May 28 through June 3. The
five-day excursion includes float-
ing on the river and camping. One
payment of $350 covers all meals,
transportation and equipment.
Whichever activity seems most
interesting, take time this summer
to try something new and enjoy
Lawrence while getting fit.

sToP day waLKing Tour sCHeduLe
WORCESTER, Mass. A mag-
istrate judge on Monday agreed to
release a friend of Boston Mara-
thon bombing suspect Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev from federal custody
while he awaits trial for allegedly
lying to federal investigators prob-
ing the bombings.
Robel Phillipos, 19, was charged
last week with lying to investigators
about visiting Tsarnaevs college
dorm room afer the bombings.
Te University of Massachusetts
Dartmouth student faces a maxi-
mum of eight years in prison if
convicted.
Prosecutors initially asked that
Phillipos be held while he awaits
trial, arguing he poses a serious
fight risk. But both sides said in
a court motion fled Monday they
agreed that Phillipos should be
released on $100,000 bond, face
home confnement and wear an
electronic monitoring bracelet.
We are confdent that in the
end we will be able to clear his
name, defense attorney Derege
Demissie said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John
Capin said documents fled over
the weekend by Phillipos defense
attorneys, including many afda-
vits showing support from family
and friends, might be viewed as
indirectly questioning the govern-
ments case against Phillipos.
Te government stands by its
allegations, Capin said.
Defense attorney Susan Church
described Phillipos as a well-liked,
honor roll student with many
friends. At least 50 relatives, friends
and other supporters attended the
court hearing.
Church emphasized that Philli-
pos is not accused of helping Tsar-
naev and his brother plan or carry
out the bombings.
At no time did Robel have any
prior knowledge of this marathon
bombing, she said.
Magistrate Judge Marianne
Bowler agreed to the strict house
arrest during a hearing Monday af-
ternoon. She told Phillipos he was
allowed to leave the house only for
meetings with his lawyers or true
emergencies.
It was not immediately clear
when Phillipos would be released.
Meanwhile, a funeral director
trying to fnd a cemetery to take
the body of Tsarnaevs older broth-
er and alleged accomplice, Tamer-
lan, pledged to ask the city of Cam-
bridge to allow him to be buried in
a city-owned cemetery because the
brothers lived in Cambridge for
the last decade.
Cambridge City Manager Robert
Healy said he is urging Tsarnaevs
family not to make the request.
Te difcult and stressful ef-
forts of the citizens of the City of
Cambridge to return to a peaceful
life would be adversely impacted
by the turmoil, protests, and wide
spread media presence at such an
interment, Healy said in a state-
ment Sunday.
Worcester funeral director Peter
Stefan said he hasnt been able to
fnd a cemetery in Massachusetts
willing to accept the remains of Ta-
merlan, who was killed following
a gunbattle with police afer the
bombings. He said if Cambridge
turns him down, he will seek help
from state ofcials. Stefan said
Monday he is looking outside of
Massachusetts and does not think
Russia will take the body.
Gov. Deval Patrick said Monday
the question of what to do with the
body is a fam-
ily issue that
should not be
decided by the
state or federal
g ov e r nme nt .
He said fam-
ily members had
options and
he hoped they
would make a
decision soon.
He declined to say whether he
thought it would be appropriate
for the body to be buried in Mas-
sachusetts.
We showed the world in the
immediate afermath of the attacks
what a civilization looks like, and
Im proud of what we showed, and
I think we continue to do that by
stepping back and let the family
make their decisions, the gover-
nor told reporters.
Phillipos is accused of ly-
ing to investigators about visit-
ing Dzhokhar Tsarnaevs college
dorm room on
April 18, three
days afer the
bombings. Two
other friends
were charged
with conspiring
to obstruct jus-
tice by taking a
backpack with
freworks and
a laptop from
Tsarnaevs dorm room. All four
had studied at UMass Dartmouth.
Phillipos attorneys said in court
documents their client had noth-
ing to do with the deadly bomb-
ings and isnt a fight risk.
In letters fled with the motion,
friends and family members urged
the court to release Phillipos on
bail, describing him as peaceful
and non-violent.
I was shocked and stunned
when I heard the news of his ar-
rest. I could not control my tears,
wrote Zewditu Alemu, his aunt.
I do not believe that my beloved
Robel crosses the line intention-
ally to support or assist such a hor-
rendous act against us the people
of the USA. By nature he does not
like violence. He loves peaceful en-
vironment.
Phillipos resume, fled in court,
shows he was majoring in market-
ing with a minor in sociology at
UMass Dartmouth and expected
to graduate in 2015.
Te Tsarnaev brothers are ac-
cused of carrying out the bomb-
ings using pressure cookers packed
with explosives, nails, ball bearings

Friend of Tsarnaev faces 8 years in prison

From left, lisa Taurasi, lucy Rodriguez and luis Barbosa hold protest signs as they stand across the street from Graham putnam & Mahoney Funeral parlors in Worces-
ter, Mass. on Sunday evening. They are upset about the possibility that Boston marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev may be buried in the United States.
TOPEKA, Kan. Advocates for
the disabled Monday praised Gov.
Sam Brownbacks plan to use pro-
jected savings from the states Med-
icaid program to pay for in-home
services and said they also will push
for a long-term plan to end waiting
lists for such assistance.
Te Kansas Developmental Dis-
abilities Policy Groups endorse-
ment of the Republican governors
plan came even as advocates for
the developmentally disabled re-
mained at odds with Brownbacks
administration over including their
services next year in an overhaul of
Medicaid, which covers health care
for the needy and disabled.
State ofcials said last month
that the overhaul of Medicaid
would save the state $62 million
more than previously anticipated
during the current fscal year and
the fscal year beginning July 1. Te
overhaul turned administration of
most of the Medicaid program over
to three private health insurance
companies this year and renamed
it KanCare.
Brownback predicted that the
overhaul not only would lower the
states cost but provide better-coor-
dinated health care for participants.
Te governor has proposed using
$8 million from the states Kan-
Care dividend savings on in-home
services for the physically and de-
velopmentally disabled, plus $10.5
million in federal funds, to move
about 600 people of of waiting lists
during the next fscal year.
Coalition members said the gov-
ernors proposal, if adopted, would
represent the most signifcant prog-
ress in years toward reducing the
waiting lists. But they said theyd
like to see Kansas go further and
commit to eliminating its waiting
lists, which contained about 5,400
people as of last month, according
to the state.
Te previous administrations
never addressed it at all, said Ron-
da Klein, a Topeka resident and the
mother of a 19-year-old son, Cur-
tis, who is autistic, developmentally
disabled and prone to seizures. Its
a great frst step.
Kansas legislators plan to re-
convene Wednesday afer a spring
break to wrap up business for the
year. Lawmakers must fnish a state
budget of roughly $14.5 billion for
the next fscal year, and Brown-
backs proposal on Medicaid sav-
ings is among the major issues fac-
ing House and Senate negotiators.
Some families wait years for in-
home services that can include an
attendant to help a disabled child
with daily tasks. Te state has sepa-
rate waiting lists for people with
developmental disabilities and
people with physical disabilities,
and some people with development
disabilities are receiving some but
not all of the services they sought.
According to the state, as of April,
in-home services cost an average of
$1,765 a month for the physically
disabled and $3,534 a month for
the developmentally disabled.
Tim Wood, manager of the Dis-
ability Rights Center of Kansas
End the Wait campaign, said
the coalition isnt specifying how
quickly it wants the state to elimi-
nate the waiting lists but added,
We need to have an efectively
working plan.
Advocates of the developmen-
tally disabled were among the most
vocal critics of the Brownback ad-
ministrations overhaul of Medicaid
and won a years reprieve in having
their in-home services adminis-
tered by the private health insur-
ance companies. Teyre seeking
a permanent carve out, arguing
that private companies arent well-
equipped to deal with ongoing ser-
vices.
But Angela de Rocha, spokes-
woman for the Kansas Department
for Aging and Disability Services,
noted that the administration
projects that carving out services
for the developmentally disabled
would cost an additional $9 mil-
lion during the next fscal year and
jeopardizes the states ability to ad-
dress the waiting lists.
Kansas Medicaid cuts provide funding for in-home services

We are confdent that in

the end we will be able to
clear his name.

P
oliticians are often accused
of being out of touch with
the American people.
For instance, Congress failed
to pass a measure expanding
background checks on firearms
despite the fact, according to sev-
eral news sources, that 91 percent
of responding registered voters
supported it. In other words,
they failed to empathize with the
recent victims of such neglect.
But people are drawn to
politicians that think like them
the lower class loved President
Clinton because he grew up
without a dad and played a mean
sax. His experiences with pov-
erty were reflected in his policy.
And one of President Bushs few
redeeming qualities was that he
seemed like a man you could
share a beer with (Romney was
a teetotaler, and look how that
turned out for him). Sure, we
have a constitution, but there
really is no set of rules on how
to be a good leader. Politics is all
about empathy.
To be honest, I never thought
about getting into politics until
Kansas Secretary of State Kris
Kobach tried to bring SB-1070
to Kansas, and I suddenly had to
worry about getting pulled over
and subsequently asked to show
my papers just because I have
black hair, brown skin and the
ability to roll my Rs. And then I
became certain of my decision
after I lost my health insurance
and got denied by every damn
company for having too many
pre-existing conditions. My life
has been turned upside down by
bad policy, and so I got into this
business in hopes that I could
someday have a say in my own
health. I dont want your sympa-
thy, I want your empathy.
Theres a difference. Let me tell
you a story about my sister and I.
She got the psychological illness
and I got the physical illness. We
both got the stubbornness. So
Id get sick and shes been sick
before, but its like, maybe a mild
cold at worst and shed sympa-
thize with me because she knew
that being sick sucks.
But she had no idea what its
like to constantly struggle for
air, or to have fluid in her lungs
more often than not or to be in
so much physical pain for so long
that she forgets what comfort
feels like. She was diagnosed with
depression, anxiety and some
other things a few years back. She
was unhappy. Ive been unhappy
before, but its like, my mom
grounded me from N64 for a day
and Id sympathize because a
day without Donkey Kong was a
bad day, but I had no idea what
it was like to really hate myself
sometimes or to lose joy in the
things I love, or to have so many
negative thoughts in my head that
I forget how to smile. So I dis-
missed it. It wasnt a real disease
like mine; it was an excuse.
Ive had a taste of it this year.
Its worse than anything thats
ever put me in the hospital. I
never once tried to understand
what she was going through for
the years that she struggled, and
I became part of the problem.
Im so sorry for that. Its sad, but
there are a lot of people in this
world who have trouble believing
in something if they havent per-
sonally experienced it. So were
not on the same page. We arent
helping one another. Rural and
urban Americans look at a gun
and see either a source of recre-
ation and venison or a source of
fear and death. Rich Americans
sympathize with the poor, but
dont understand that working
harder isnt always the answer
when your school, family, friends
and environment all set you up
for failure.
Most politicians are strongly
motivated by their own interests.
Try to name a Republican senator
in favor of marriage equality that
didnt suddenly have an epiphany
after his son came out of the clos-
et. Im as guilty of that as anyone.
But Ive been writing columns for
a full school year now, and I like
to think that Ive learned a little
empathy in the process. Im done
writing about myself at least
for awhile because I think its
time help someone else tell their
story.

E
ver heard of Lulu? Ladies,
I expect you have at least
downloaded the newest
craze app, searched your crushs
profile and left a review or two.
Guys, I have to break it to you,
you most likely are out of the
loop on this one, with the excep-
tion of those of you who have
borrowed your lady-friends
phones in order to scope out
your own profile.
Lulu, the dating database built
by girls for girls, no boys allowed.
Luluvise created the platform
for private networking between
women after raising $1 million
in November 2011. Originally,
the website fared OK as it rep-
resented 69 countries, but not
many women were jumping at
the chance to look up men they
knew. However, Lulu believes
they have figured out the best
way to spread the word about
their exclusive database: U.S. col-
leges.
This girls-only app for dat-
ing intelligence launched via
invitation-only at Florida State
University and the University of
Florida in January. By the end of
the month, 60,000 women had
downloaded the Lulu app and
reviewed 140,000 men. On Feb.
7, Lulu launched nationwide as,
A private, fun and safe space
for girls to talk, according to a
Lulu blog post. To counter Lulu
for girls, the company launched
a web-based LuluDude, where
guys can edit their profiles
and request reviews from girls.
Unfortunately, men, you still
cannot rate women.
When I first heard of this app,
I laughed at the prospect of rat-
ing the guys I know. Then, like
many women, I became curious
to know what was out there on
this secret database of men. I
downloaded it, scrolled through
some hilarious reviews and talk-
ed about it at work. You know,
like what you do on Facebook.
Only this time it was different.
We ladies had the power to look
at all the profiles and have imme-
diate access on our phones. The
guys had to peek over our shoul-
ders or borrow our phones to see
what was out there in cyberspace.
Is it fair? Goodness no. But, is
life fair? Men may be upset they
cannot simply download the
app and read everything posted
on their profile. They may even
feel anger at the fact they do not
have an equal site to rate women.
However, if you think about it,
many rating sites began as males
rating females. This app is simply
the opposite.
Some, who have downloaded
the app to learn what the craze
is all about, feel it is stereotypical
to rate people on their attributes.
Actually, rating females is stereo-
typically considered a male trait.
Wait, hold the phone! Women
do the same thing? Of course we
do. This app happens to allow us
to do it anonymously and with
the exclusivity of girl-world. You
may think its weird, dumb, crazy,
sexist, etc.
To me, it is a bit of fun that
breaks up the monotony of other
social media sites. The truth is,
ladies, when you hit it off with a
guy on your next night out, you
are going to Facebook stalk him
when you get home. Instead of
drowning in all the photos and
status updates, you can turn to
Lulu and find exactly what you
wanted. Who are you going to
review?
Warren is a junior majoring in
journalism from Overland Park
By Jordan Warren
jwarren@kansan.com
I
ts that time of year again
when professors start sweet-
talking their students, and
GTAs beg for a little compassion.
Its the time when extra credit is
handed out as freely as T-shirts
on Wescoe Beach, and when TAs
give their most enthusiastic per-
formance of the semester. Thats
right, its time for instructor
evaluations.
For those new to the process,
every instructor is given a few
weeks to choose a class period
where they give their students a
few minutes to fill out an anony-
mous survey to evaluate how the
instructor did as a teacher. All
evaluations have the basic ques-
tions such as how organized the
class was, how helpful and avail-
able the instructor was, etc. From
there the evaluations are kept in
an envelope until the end of the
semester, and after grades are
turned in, the professors can see
how they did. Basically, its the
students opportunity to grade
their professor.
Which is all fine and dandy,
except that before most profes-
sors give out the evaluation
forms they give the instruc-
tions. Now I dont know about
all of you, but Ive been filling
out bubble sheets since the
first grade. I think by now, as
a college student, if you fail to
completely fill in the bubble you
probably have a problem. Even
so, instructors are required to
give instructions on how the
evaluations work. Notice, how-
ever, that while instructions are
required, the guilt comes free of
charge. Every semester about this
time of year all around campus
instructors pause, holding their
envelope hostage, while they
give one final plea for leniency.
It is here that, following the offi-
cial instructions, the instructor
stresses the importance of the
evaluations towards their career.
They talk about what a pleasure
it has been to have us in class
(and suspiciously, thats the only
day I hear that for most classes)
and that they have loved getting
to know each and every one
of us. Then they go for the real
point: the guilt.
Suddenly youre hearing
about how seriously they take
the evaluations, and about how
they hope that you had as much
fun taking the class as they
had teaching it. They suddenly
remind you of that extra credit
they gave out last class period, or
for good measure, change a due
date at that moment so that the
students realize how truly awe-
some they are.
By the time they finish, I
usually have a good helping of
guilt on my soul, though I like
to think that I fill out the evalu-
ation the same way regardless.
But its not just for my own con-
scious that I feel this needs to be
addressedits because seeing a
grown professional grovel is just
uncomfortable and sad. Still, if
theyre going to go for the guilt
technique, they really ought to
go all out. Less youre all great
speeches and more creativity is
in order, in my not-so-humble
opinion. Thus, to help out these
nervous instructors, I shall get
them started on their more cre-
ative techniques.
WifE and Kids
The I have a wife and kids to
feed excuse is getting a little old.
I mean, most people do have a
family they support, which is a
very valid thing, but they should
really spice it up a little. I mean,
two kids? Easy. But what if they
had a spouse, 16 kids, a few dogs
and a guinea pig? I admit, know-
ing that might give them a boost
in their numbers, even if it was
just for the first sign of creativity
from them.
This isnT BriBEry, righT?
If theyre going to go for brib-
ery, I think a little more extreme
measures are in order. I mean,
a few points of extra credit
might cause a twinge of guilt
as Im writing a bad review, but
it wont make or break my rat-
ings. However, throwing a party,
bringing lots of free food, and
cancelling the final could defi-
nitely improve the ratings I give.
(Especially canceling the final

T
en minutes before the
show, only a handful of
people were standing
in front of the stage,
waiting for the next act to go on.
The venue was a smaller stage
across the hall from the Uptown
main stage, a two-level room with
the bar up top overlooking the
dance floor and stage. The blue
walls framed the sunken stage and
looked like a picture box fram-
ing the band as they set
up. After a few minutes
of sound check, Quiet
Corral, a six-man band,
began to play. The dance
floor was packed. Two
girls slyly made their
way around the peo-
ple in front of them to
stand front and center
of the stage. As the band
began to play their first song
an upbeat original everyone
watched intently. They started
to rock back and forth, bobbing
their heads and mimicking every
move the band made.
Quiet Corral formed in 2010.
It started touring the summer of
2011 and has played many big-
name music festivals including
Austin City Limits, South by
Southwest, Middle of the Map
Fest and will play at Kanrocksas
this summer. This local band is
quickly gaining recognition in the
music industry, and is doing so by
its strong relationship with its fans
and smart strategy to get ahead.
The band has six members:
Isaac Flynn, 21, from Lawrence
plays drums, guitar and
vocals; Jesse Roberts, 26, from
Hutchinson, does vocals and plays
guitar and the mandolin; Zach
Mehl, 22, from Lawrence, plays
guitar keyboard and vocals; Matt
Green, 22, from Lawrence, plays
bass guitar and vocals; Jim Barnes,
32, from Picayune, Miss., plays
the drums; Garrett Childers, 24,
from Phoenix, Ariz., does vocals
and guitar.
Their chemistry with each
other and their fans is a large part
of what makes them successful
and what keeps listeners coming
back for more. As I was inter-
viewing them on the sidewalk in
downtown Kansas City, Mo., out-
side the Uptown Theater, many
fans of the band came walking
by. Each time they did, Flynn
immediately acknowledged them
and struck up a short How are
you? conversation. He made
each one of them feel recognized
and important.
Some of their fans are good
friends whom they have known
since before the band, and they
still hang out with them all the
time. As for the newer fans, Flynn
says he tries to say hi and have
a real conversation with them.
We like getting to know people
and establishing real friendships,
Flynn said.
Also, a band needs to actually
get along with one another to be
successful. We have good chem-
istry and enjoy being around each
other, Green said.
Quiet Corral originally
was called Quiet Chorale,
which basically means
quiet singing group.
They decided this prob-
ably wasnt a great name
for a rock band, so they
changed the chorale to
corral. Even now, people
sometimes get confused
when they see the name
and think they are a country
band. Though they may wear
flannel sometimes, they describe
their music style as rock with
influences of folk, gospel and Tom
Petty.
Quiet Corrals music style
complemented the Middle of the
Map Fest, a three-day music fes-
tival of local, national and emerg-
ing artists in downtown Kansas

City, Mo. Halfway through their
set at the Middle of the Map Fest,
a group of four girls dressed in
sheer flowery and solid tops, skin-
ny jeans and scarves started getting
really into the music creating their
own crazy dance moves, moving
around, laughing. The band played
off their energy and engaged the
crowd in every song they sang.
Throughout their set, Isaac
would scan the crowd, making
eye contact with friends and giv-
ing them a little laugh when not
singing. Zach blew a kiss to his
girlfriend standing a little behind
first row.
At the end of their set, they
began moving around each one
playing a different drum. The ener-
gy on stage was immense. They
bobbed their heads to the beat
of the drums. Every minute, they
would switch places on stage and
start playing their new drum with
even more enthusiasm than the
last. Halfway through the drum
medley, Isaac came out into the
audience banging the drum hang-
ing from his body. The girls in the
front row squealed with excitement
as he came and stood right next to
them facing the audience.
Bethany Brown from Kansas
City, Mo., came to Middle of the
Map Fest and saw Quiet Corral play
for the first time. After the set, she
exuded excitement and amazement
from Quiet Corrals drum medley
toward the end of the set. That
was awesome. They totally engaged
the whole crowd, she said.
Quiet Corral writes all its own
lyrics. Jesse is the one who will
write, then during practice, the
whole band will come together and
modify or perfect what he cre-
ated. Some of the members are
Christian, including Jesse, and
their beliefs are expressed through
some of the lyrics they sing.
Leah Frees, the fiance of Jesse,
says that her favorite Quiet Corral
song is called Where the River
Ends. Jesse wrote the lyrics, and it
tells a story about how through all
waters of life, he wants to be where
she is. Its about being committed
to me, Frees said.
We focus on writing the best
songs that we possibly can and
good songwriting will hopefully go
a long way, Flynn said.
When asked what its like walk-
ing on stage to a crowd of people
coming to listen to their music,
Green says, Its like nothing else.
He enjoys playing in Lawrence
because Lawrence is the epitome
of that for us because there are
so many great supporters. I value
every time I play there.
Patrick Ashby, a mini groupie,
according to his friend Dusty West,
tries to come to every Quiet Corral
show when they are in town. He
first saw Quiet Corral when they
played at Crossroads. I liked what
I heard and have been going to
[their shows] ever since, Ashby
said.
Although their strong relation-
ship with their fans helps their pop-
ularity, their strategy is ultimately
what helps get them out in front
of their fans. Quiet Corral began
playing in Lawrence at various bars
around town. In 2011, they started
working with a booking agent who
books them for shows, festivals and
tours. They then took the next step
in their strategy and decided to
fully commit to the band.
Fully committing to the band
comes with some drawbacks and
tough decisions. At the time, three
of the band members were enrolled
and taking classes at the University.
When deciding whether or not to
quit school and focus on the band,
Flynn talked to his teachers, and
two of them in particular encour-
aged him to quit, saying that he
could always come back, but that
trying to make it big as a band was
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
This decision has allowed the
band to further its success by play-
ing one of the top music festivals in
the U.S.: Austin City Limits.
I think getting to play some-
thing like Austin City Limits
causes a boost in morale, and more
importantly, its a really cool life
experience, Flynn said. If nothing
else happens with the band, we will
have had some incredibly memo-
rable life experiences.
Through these experiences,
Flynn has learned a lot about the
business side of things. The big-
gest thing Ive learned is that you
can only control what you put out.
I want everything we release to the
public, whether its a song, a video,
a website, or anything else to be
high quality, Flynn said.
The band just finished recording
a new album, coming to iTunes
soon. There is no release date set,
but the band plans to have a release
party with all their friends and
fans. Currently they are working
on new videos and posting them
to their Facebook page for fans to
watch.
We are really looking forward
to releasing [the album] and get-
ting a reaction to it; whether its
good or bad, only time will tell,
but were hoping that its good,
Flynn said.

Great Gatsby captures
luster of new millenium
Theres a lot to like about The Great
Gatsby, Baz Luhrmanns fashy, messy,
manic adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgeralds
1925 novel. That slim but thematically
tricky little volume remains a captivat-
ing riddle, which may be why no flm-
maker has created the defnitive ver-
sion. Luhrmann, the fourth to try, hasnt,
either theres a lot to dislike here as
well but his is easily the most enter-
taining Gatsby yet.
its a product of its time, as were the
others: a 1926 silent, a 1949 noir and
a gauzy 1974 romance starring hunk-
of-the-moment Robert Redford as the
mysterious Long island millionaire Jay
Gatsby. This version is a postmodern
pastiche: Flappers gyrate to Jay-Z,
Gatsbys Gold Coast mansion looks like a
Disneyland castle and Jazz Age New York
has more candy-colored costumes and
confetti than a Katy Perry concert. (make
that madonna; Luhrmanns vision of pop
spectacle sometimes recalls the 1980s
more than the 1920s or 2010s.)
The anachronisms hammer home an
obvious point twas ever thus!
which would get tiresome if not for some
outstanding performances. Carey mulli-
gan is picture perfect as Gatsbys aristo-
cratic beloved, Daisy Fay Buchanan, but
the characters vibrancy has been writ-
ten away; now shes just sad, sad, sad.
Tobey maguire, as Nick Carraway, strikes
a nice blend of passivity and outrage,
while Joel Edgerton, as Daisys hus-
band, Tom, is a revelation, bringing out
the nobility in this storys go-to villain.
Crucial roles, such as the jet-setting
Jordan Baker (Elizabeth Debicki) and the
ill-used myrtle Wilson (isla Fisher), are
reduced to near-cameos.
As for Leonardo DiCaprio, he is now
the Gatsby to beat. Despite a borderline
comedic entrance haloed by freworks
and accompanied by Gershwins Rhap-
sody in Blue DiCaprio nails this
maddeningly enigmatic character. Hes
as tough as Alan Ladd in 49, as suave
as Redford in 74, but also vulnerable,
touching, funny, a faker, a human. You
hear it all in Gatsbys favorite phrase,
old sport, a verbal tic that stumped
other actors. its a tremendous, hard-
won performance.

TUESDAY SPECIAL
Summer break is fast approaching,
along with all its warm, pleasant conno-
tations: beaches, cookouts, baseball and
good times with friends.
But if you are a Kansas fan, student or
alum, summertime might just be the pref-
ace to an altogether awesome sports year,
and not the climax.
Afer Sundays heroics in sofball, base-
ball and track, it struck me that athletic
director Sheahon Zenger has a solid plan
for each and every KU sport and that he
is executing that plan to near perfection.
Zenger will be counting down the days for
summer to end so he can watch his hard
work pay of in the fall.
Just a few short years afer KU Athlet-
ics (sans mens basketball) looked grim
and former Athletic Director Lew Perkins
ticket-scandal sent him packing, Zenger
has instilled a winning culture throughout
all programs, and the entire scope of KU
Athletics looks bright heading into 2013-
2014 year.
When Zenger took over on Jan. 3, 2011,
Kansas had basketball going strong like it
usually does, but was middling in the ma-
jority of its other sports and terrible in the
rest.
Now, its smooth sailing throughout the
entire department.
Lets start with the obvious. Te mens
basketball team just wrapped up its ninth-
straight Big 12 Championship and made
its 24th consecutive NCAA tournament
appearance. I dont foresee too much to
fret about, especially with Bill Self locked
in for 10 years.
Te womens basketball team seems to
have found its niche, having made back to
back Sweet Sixteens. Maybe Zenger is able
to get more out of coach Bonnie Henrick-
son than Lew Perkins ever could? Maybe
its a by-product of something else? Who
knows? But its working.
Womens track & feld is making mince-
meat of its competition. Te Jayhawks are
poised to win a national championship.
Tatll go nicely with Diamond Dixons
Olympic gold.
Te mens track and cross country
teams have shown incremental progress in
the past few years. Te cross country team
was ranked several times this year.
Afer sweeping Baylor over the week-
end, the baseball team is 12-9 in the Big 12,
and 30-18 overall, thoroughly exceeding
expectations. It will look to make the Col-
lege World Series in the coming weeks.
Te sofball team took down top-ranked
Oklahoma, handing them their fourth
loss on the season. It was the frst time in
school history that the sofball team beat
the No. 1-ranked team in the country.
Te hiring of Charlie Weis was risky,
but it has paid early dividends. Although
the football team didnt see progress in
the victories and losses column, they were
clearly more competitive throughout the
twelve-game season last year.
If Weis had a better quarterback and de-
fense, Kansas could have made a push for
six wins. Tis fall, they should have both.
A bowl game isnt entirely out of the ques-
tion.
Lets remember that these men and
women are student-athletes (with empha-
sis on the student), so grades and gradu-
ation rate are also measuring sticks for
Zenger.
Te football team posted its highest
GPA in a fall semester (2.83) since the
school started keeping track of it in 1986.
Womens soccer recorded a 3.46 GPA,
and seven other sports eclipsed the 3.0
mark.
Kansas is climbing out of its recent ath-
letic lull very quickly. If the football team
can consistently make bowl games in the
next fve years, Jayhawks will be able to
honestly say they support one of the best
athletic departments in the United States.

A weekend sweep of the Bay-
lor Bears brought a renewed
sense of optimism to Kansas
baseball.

conference-leading Oklahoma,
heading into

against the
Mi s s o u r i

ers.
Its just

senior third
baseman Jordan Dreiling said.
Youve got to fush the last
week and a half. We have to
take care of business again on
Tuesday and over the weekend,
but I guess now its just taking
care of business.
Te Jayhawks fushed last
week in grand fashion with a
series sweep against the Bears
that included three one-run
wins and walk-of RBIs hit by
Dreiling and senior shortstop
Kevin Kuntz.
Kansas has won 10 games in
one-run fashion. Te regularity
of close victories doesnt make
them any less stressful.
It would be nice to put up
some runs and not deal with
this every night, Dreiling said.
We thrive in the situation. We
get energy from it. Its fun for
everyone.
Te energy hasnt lef the
Kansas dugout through the
tough times. Dreiling said the
mindset of the dugout is fo-
cused heading to Wichita.
We have to treat it like an-
other Big 12 game, Dreiling
said. Tese midweek games
are just as important when
were trying to get into NCAA
regionals. Everybody is coming
with the same mentality, and
we just have to compete on ev-
ery pitch.
Te playof
feel of Tues-
days game is
enhanced by
the talent lev-
el across the
diamond from
the Jayhawks.
Wichita States
14-4 Missouri
Valley re-
cord leads the

Te Jayhawks are embroiled
in a conference race of their
own, but Kansas is putting the
Big 12 aside against Wichita
State.
Its a huge week, coach
Ritch Price said. We were in
the NCAA Tournament go-
ing into West Virginia, and we
played ourselves out, and weve
turned around and played our-
selves back in this week. Next
week will be huge.
Kansas takes its fght for the

EcK StadiUM, 6:30 p.M., Wichita
The shockers continue their hot
play at the plate. Theyve risen to sole
possession of the lead in Missouri Val-
ley Conference, one and a half games
ahead of illinois state. shockers junior
outfelder garrett Bayliff continues to
lead the squad with a .348 average, 62
hits and 27 rBis. in his appearance in
Lawrence, Bayliff ended a hitting
streak by going hitless in four at-bats
with a strikeout.
Wichita state pitchers are solid.
Junior right-handed pitcher Cale Elam
leads the squad with a 5-2 record and
a 2.26 ErA. Elams 59 strikeouts lead
shocker pitchers. in their appearance
in Lawrence, freshman right-handed
pitcher garrett Brummett started the
game throwing four innings and giving
up four hits in a scoreless appearance.
Junior right-handed pitcher Brandon
Peterson was credited with the loss.
Wichita state struggled felding
the ball at hoglund Ballpark. The Jay-
hawks failed to take advantage of the
three errors committed by the shock-
ers. guilty parties included freshman
second baseman Tanner Dearman,
junior shortstop Erik harbutz and
freshman right-handed pitcher gar-
rett Brummett.
There was no shortage of heroes
in the Kansas lineup this weekend
against the Baylor Bears. one could
point to any of the position players in
the lineup and fnd a contribution to
the three one-run victories notched
over Baylor. The lineup showed a bit of
pop on sunday. sophomore right feld-
er Connor McKay hit two rBi doubles
in the 5-4 10th-inning victory, one of
which came in the bottom of the ninth
to extend the game.
Kansas pitching didnt overpower
the Bears by any means, but over-
powering pitching isnt the Kansas
way. The Jayhawks did, however,
pitch to contact and allow a de-
fense, functioning at their highest
level of the season, to take over and
win close games. The Jayhawks gave
up 11 runs on the weekend. Tanner
Poppe makes the start after his best
appearance of the season in the
midweek last week.
The Jayhawks committed fve er-
rors on the series against Baylor.
Unfortunately, several of these er-
rors occurred in key moments. senior
shortstop Kevin Kuntz uncharacteris-
tically booted a ball in the late stages
of a game in which junior closer Jor-
dan Piche earned the save. regard-
less of the spotty errors, the Jayhawks
continue to play solid defense.

tgraff@kansan.com
T
he Jayhawks were on the
ropes.
Like a prizefighter from
yesteryear, Kansas baseball took
a solid shot to the chin and stood
wavering on the brink of a knock-
out in the Big 12 conference race
after suffering the sweep in West
Virginia.
The uppercut, served at the
hands of the Mountaineers, still
lingers in the minds of many
around Kansas baseball. It still
comes up in interviews and con-
versations among fans, but theres
a shift in the tone of these conver-
sations.
A shift that winning made evi-
dent. A shift that winning made
essential.
The Jayhawks weekend series
sweep of the Baylor Bears got the
Jayhawks off of their heels and
back into the fight. Not just back
in the fight, but back and throwing
haymakers. Every one-run victory
the Jayhawks reeled off over the
weekend moved the conversation
closer to resurgence.
After the weekend in West
Virginia, it seemed apparent that
the Jayhawks were playing for
second place in the Big 12 con-
ference. After sweeping Baylor,
the Jayhawks are back within a
game of the conference-leading
Oklahoma Sooners.
That fact is embedded in the
minds of Kansas players and
coaches.
Every game from here on out
is pretty much a playoff game
because we have to get our record
up to get an NCAA regional bid,
senior third baseman Jordan
Dreiling said. I think everybody
knows that in the back of their
minds, and everybody believes
they can contribute.
Per usual in a Ritch Price dug-
out, no one is getting ahead of
themselves. The Jayhawks cant
afford to look forward.
Living in the moment has been
a strength of this Kansas squad.
That being said, the moment calls
for a midweek victory against
a red-hot Wichita State at Eck
Stadium and a must have series
victory against another solid
Kansas State Wildcat squad.
Theres no doubt Kansas base-
ball is on edge. Their knees shook,
and hitting the mat seemed like a
solid option at one point, but they
stuck with the Big 12s rigorous
schedule and found themselves
back in the fight. The attitude has
shifted, and what seemed like an
impossibility is now quite real.
The Jayhawks need a perfect
storm in the midst of this unsea-
sonable Kansas weather. The odds
are longer than the 34-1 posted
for Golden Soul in the Kentucky
Derby. Three horses faced stiffer
odds, but Golden Soul finished
runner-up.
The Jayhawks dont face 34-1
odds in winning the Big 12
Conference. But doing so wont
be easy.
Is a Big 12 baseball champion-
ship heading to Lawrence?
The odds say no, but the prize-
fighter in the Jayhawks is saying
theres a chance.

We get energy from it. its
fun for everyone.
