nothing on Mrs. Es). The dining philosophy
seemed to be the more ingredients the
better. For example, corn couldnt just be
corn it was Mexican corn mixed with
mysterious spices, additional vegetables
and a few chunks of meat.
With only the greasy grill selections
and a pathetic salad bar to muse over for
other options I began to cave, forgoing my
prepaid meal allotments and purchasing
chips and guac from Chipotle or a Subway
sandwich on the way home from work. I
felt bad about the additional money I was
spending and the effort it took to walk five
blocks, foraging for food along the way
but the stomach wants what it wants.
Now that Ive regained access to
standard kitchen appliances, I try to use
them more, though I still get bored and
impatient when waiting for water to boil.
The microwave is my savior (hello, late-
night shifts in the newsroom), warming up
an instant meal accompanied by classy
plastic cutlery.
If youre like me and cant find the time or
skill to prepare a well-crafted dish, check
out Brennas story on page 11 and learn to
microwave convenient and healthy meals.
And as for those boys I will not be slaving
over a hot stove for, I can serve up one
thing: great dinner conversation just as
long as were seated in a restaurant and
not at the dining room table.

If the way to a mans heart is through
his stomach, my apologies to my future
husband. Sorry guys, the secrets out I
cant cook. The contents of my refrigerator
feature more condiments and beverages
than actual food. I guess I shouldnt be
surprised I didnt inherit a love for recipe-
concocting. growing up my family was
constantly busy fast food wrappers
replaced home-cooked dinners.
My roommates can tell you I cook no more
than three things: pasta, grilled cheese
and pasta. I can make sandwiches, but
lets be honest, anyone whos packed a
lunch in fifth grade can claim that skill.
Moving off-campus last year invigorated
my sense of adulthood and food production.
however, I still seem to lack the time or
patience to master a great meal but I can
peel off the plastic and pop a lean Cuisine
in the microwave.
I only began to miss making my select
food staples this summer, when living in
a residence hall brought me back down
to disgusting dorm food (this place had

kansas in heat // giving and receiving
Q. My girlfriend loves receiving oral sex
and I love giving it to her. However, lately I
cant seem to give her an orgasm with oral
sex. Im using the same moves, but ten
minutes produces nothing. What should I
be trying?

dent, is the host of Kansas in Heat, a talk show

a. I love your enthusiasm for oral sex, and
Im sure your girlfriend loves it, too. But be
careful about the language you are using.
You dont give someone an orgasm
you provide an environment possible for
someone to achieve orgasm.
Dont get down on yourself. My advice is
to talk with your partner. Talking about the
sex you two are having is a great way to
get better at it.
Preferences for oral sex can be very
personal. Maybe while you are giving her
oral sex, she can give you a running play-
by-play about what areas and touches
feel good. When you talk about sexual
preferences, always focus on the positives.
Tell your partner what you like, and let them
know when they are giving you pleasure
I mean really let your partner know. Your
enthusiasm will be remembered. So instead
of saying, I hate when you do this, say, I
love how it feels when you do this. Youd
be amazed how talking about sex will often
make it better.
There are a variety of factors that can
keep someone from having an orgasm.
Its possible that stress from school, work,
parents, or anything else could keep your
girlfriend from relaxing. You might not
be responsible. On the other hand, extra
knowledge cant hurt.
First of all, ten minutes often isnt enough.
Most studies show that the average woman
needs around 15 to 20 minutes of oral sex
to orgasm. If you are worried about getting
tired, fnd a comfortable spot and relax
your muscles. Also, a lot of guys tense
up their tongue instead of keeping it wide
and loose. This tension often results in you
getting fatigued faster.
I also worry about what you are doing
when you think your girlfriend is close to
climaxing. What Ive discovered is that
guys will often speed up or intensify their
strokes or licking when they think the gal
is close. This is often the opposite of what
you want to do. Keep the sensations the
same or even slow down a bit.

five questions // GARY BENDER AND LEAH LEVY
> Two people. Five questions. See how they stack up. | EllEN ShEfTEl |
GARY BENDER
> Gary Bender is a sportscaster who has Broadcasted for cBs,
aBc, Major LeaGue BaseBaLL and turner sports. in 2008 he
was inducted into the Kansas sports haLL of faMe.
I wanted to be a sportscaster since I was in the seventh grade. It all
started when I began to make up ballgames on a tractor while working on
my familys farm. I would sing the national anthem and do all the commer-
cials, sending the game into extra innings or overtime to match the fnal
minutes of the long days.
My favorite place is the Isle of Capri.

That there would be a cure for cancer.
George Washington. I am amazed at his leadership at the most critical
time in our country.

My faith in Jesus Christ. I start each day with my Bible, starting my day at
a different level.
LEAH LEVY
> Leah Levy is a senior froM sKoKie, iLL., MajorinG in education.
I have always wanted to be a teacher. Before I came to college, I knew
that is what I wanted to do.
I always love to visit Green lake, Wisc. It is a place where my family
has gone most summers since I was little and we always have a great
time there.
I would wish for my family and friends to have health and happiness for
their entire lives.

I would like to have lunch with franklin D. Roosevelt. I would pick his
brain to fnd out how he came up with all of the social action policies that
he put into effect during his presidency.
I feel passionate about my future career in education. I feel that chil-
dren should be able to receive quality education in the public school
system and teachers need to be able to help these students to reach
their potential not only as students, but also as functioning members
of society.

Gemini: Every risk today is a bad risk.
Arielle Hernandezs horoscope from the
Houston Chronicle lingered in her mind. It was
the morning of high school graduation and her
18th birthday. Hernandez, Houston senior, and
her dad drove past the open outskirts of Hous-
ton.
When the car pulled up to a silver hangar,
Hernandezs father posed a strange ques-
tion: Would jumping out of a plane scare you
more than going to college? She thought he
was joking. But before she knew it, Hernandez
| JOSH HafneR |
was strapping on a jumpsuit. She anxiously
checked every part of the harness to make
sure nothing was unraveling. She and the in-
structor, Skyy, would be jumping in tandem.
I pulled my own chute and this guy kept
telling me that if I didnt, he had a wife and two
children at home, Hernandez says. So there
was a lot of pressure on my back, literally.
The small plane took off, with doors open
on both sides. Strapped in with Skyy, Her-
nandez felt every bump and tussle of the as-
cent. Finally, they got the signal. And then she
jumped.
Time really does move slow. That 10 sec-
ond free fall felt the same as 15 minutes, she
says. Hernandez focused through her goggles
to watch the altitude watch on her wrist. She
had to pull the chute at the right time. She
did.
You just foat, she says. I was looking ev-
erywhere. When you hit the ground the plane
is still circling. You think, Hey, I just jumped
from that.

SUACARNIVAL
Students experience being a kid again
Cheesy music flls the air, colored lights fash all around and the smell of popcorn permeates as
students and Lawrencians of all ages gathered to experience the third-annual carnival hosted by
SUA last Saturday. With a KU ID, students entered free of charge and received 10 tickets to use
on games and rides, with additional tickets available for purchase. The weather could not have
been better a cool breeze could be felt on the stomach-dropping rides or a relaxing trip on the
Ferris wheel.

get some culture // Tour HisToric Lawrence

> Its not all about fast food and beer pong.
History engulfs Lawrence. From the
Oregon Trail to Quantrills Raid, the Lawrence
Convention and Visitors Bureau, 402 N. 2nd
St., has worked to keep this history alive and
accessible.
Debbie White, manager of the Visitors
Center, says the frst place she directs visitors
is the self-guided tours the frst one being
Quantrills Raid. After that she recommends
touring the cemeteries, trails and house styles
of Old West Lawrence. For access to these
free maps made by Lawrence natives, just
stop by the visitors center.
With Lawrence as the birthplace of the Civil
War, White says students need to know where
it got started. They need to understand the
rivalry with Missouri.
So while the weather is still nice for
sightseeing, jump in the car for a road trip.
Most of the tours take about an hour. To save
gas and get some exercise, walk the house
styles of the Old West Lawrence tour. Along
the way, the map gives details about the 17
different styles and where each house sits.
The 45-minute stroll is a great study break with
| brenna Long |
friends or sophisticated date followed by a
sweet treat on Mass Street.
To learn more about these events and other
Lawrence history, check out the Spencer
Research Library or Watkins Community
Museum, 1047 Massachusetts St.

Making a building work for people keeps
Katherine Nichols busy.
As an architect at Sabatini Architects,
Inc., 730 New Hampshire St., Nichols is a
project designer and works on anything
from resi denti al homes to fi rehouses i n
Lawrence. With so many different projects
ei ght currentl y Ni chol s days are
always different.
When the office closes at 5 p.m., Nichols
is sometimes still crouched over her desk
working on design plans. Typically, the whole
day will be devoted to one task. It could
be making preliminary drawings, visiting
construction sites, researching materials,
consulting with clients or producing the
construction specifcations.
Nichols graduated from the University
in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in
architecture. In her five years at school she
gained a good skill set and passion for design.
But once in the field, Nichols realized
some skills are acquired through experience,
not the cl assroom most speci fi cal l y,
communication. She says she cant rely solely
on her drawings to convey the design to
clients. My job is getting to that deeper level
to understand how clients want it to function,
she says.
Ni chol s says the fi rst year of work i s
like another year of school. But instead of
professors, there were paying customers at her
desk.
Now in her seventh year at the frm, Nichols
has worked on frehouses, downtown stores, a
residential painting studio and the Oliver Hall

essential life skills // Fix a FLaT bike Tire
> In case of emergency, read quickly.
Dont let a hole in your bike tire put a hole in
your plans. Learning to change your own flat
tire helps save time and money says Derek
Roesler, a mechanic at Sunfower Outdoor and
Bike, 804 Massachusetts St. He says the main
problem is that students dont adequately fll up
their tires with air, which causes fats and other
dilemmas.
Roesler offers easy instructions on how to
fx a fat while on the go:
+ First, shift the bike into the outside gear and
then pull the quick release to remove the tire
from the bike frame. Release the rest of the
air from the tire.
+ Use a bicycle tire lever to separate the tire
from the rim of the wheel.
+ Remove the tire with your hands.
+ Pull the old tube out and feel the inside of the
tire to fnd the cause of the fat. Inspect the
rim and make sure there is nothing on
the tire.
+ There is a rim strip that covers the spokes,
make sure it is covering all the spokes
around it.
+ Lightly pump air into the new tube to allow

for easy placement in the tire. Situate the
tire around the infation valve and pop the
tire back on to the wheel.
+ Fill the rest of the tire up with air.
Changing your own fat will get you on
your way in no time, that way you dont need
to haul a bike six miles to get a fat fxed,
Roesler says.

A sprinkle of cayenne pepper, a dash of
oregano, a pinch of black pepper and a cap
of virgin olive oil help Audi Morrison turn her
mircowaved veggies into part of a tantalizing
dinner. When the timer dings, out comes
her broccoli, laden with her special mix and
cooked just how she likes it a little crispy in
the middle. Im nutritional about everything,
Morrison, West Plains, Mo., junior, says. I
dont eat Ramen.
Unlike Morrisons meal, Ann Chapman,
coordi nat or of nut ri t i onal servi ces at
Watkins Memorial Health Center, has seen
protein, vegetables, fruits and whole grains
disappear from students diets in college.
However, the microwave doesnt need to
be the instigator

Retail figures support college students
extensive microwave use. On the big move-in
day for student housing this year, Wal-Mart,
3300 Iowa St., sold more than 30 of its $28
microwaves says Susan Smith, department
manager of household at
Wal-Mart.
S a l a n e A s h c r a f t ,
Lawrence senior, remembers
being one of those students
with only a microwave to
cook food. In his first years
of school, Ashcraft gave up
health for convenience and
nuked the college regulars:
Pizza Rolls, Easy Mac and
Ramen noodles. As he piled
the prepackaged meals into
the grocery cart, he knew he
could cook more nutritiously,
but the simple heat-and-eat
Confusion in the kitchen: If you feel overwhelmed cooking on your own, dont worry. Te microwave ofers a

easy, prepackaged meals as an escape from
cooking making nutritious microwave meals
requires little effort if you know what to do.
Qui ck mi crowave meal s, l i ke Ramen
noodles, lack protein Chapman says. That can
be fixed. Protein can come from eggs, black
beans or meat. A simple egg poacher makes
cooking eggs easy. The eggs give simple,
cheap protein per carton.
Chapman says to avoi d fatty ground

I nst ead, grab some l ean ground beef ,
t ur key sausages and t ur key hot dogs.
Adding vegetables can also feel like a
hassle with microwave cooking. Students
tell Chapman the inconvenience, not taste, is
the problem with cooking corn and broccoli.
Chapman helped her son eat his vegetables
in college by introducing him to single serving
bowls of veggies. When buying the packs,
students have to pay for the convenience, but it
is easy. To save money, Chapman tells students
to buy frozen bags of vegetables. Though fresh
produce does offer more nutrition, Chapman
says the misconception that frozen veggies
lose all their nutritional value during processing
is a lie.
Fruit and microwaves may seem like distant
friends, but the microwave can easily thaw a
bag of frozen mixed fruit. One serving seems like
a sad attempt at being healthy, but Chapman
wants students to remember eating fruit every
dayor any healthy food adds up. Jp
After hearing expert advice, no college
student has reason to continue unhealthy
microwaving. Living in the residence and
scholarship halls his first two year, Ashcraft
limited his own healthy eating. Now, living in
an apartment, he takes more initiative to stay
away from prepackaged foods and cooks pasta
and veggies in his Pyrex container, a quick and
healthy alternative.
By nuking just a few of the items Larsen and
Chapman recommend, you can be on your way
to kicking unhealthy eating habits with your
microwave.

Quincy kreps heart is pounding. every
muscle in her body aches. it feels like her lungs
are going to explode and her t-shirt is drenched
with sweat. just as she is about to give up, she
hears the energetic and encouraging voice of
a ku fit instructor and she wills herself to keep
going.
kreps, kirksville, mo., senior, says the
positive energy of the ku fitness group in the
Ambler recreation center, 1740 Watkins center
drive, is why she likes going to ft classes.
stephanie marquess, Lenexa sophomore, is
a ft instructor and says she thinks the supportive
atmosphere and the loud music is what gets so
many people to buy passes and attend classes.
fit classes have been gaining more and more
popularity each semester says Amber Long,
assistant director for ftness for ku recreation
services. the ft passes, which are required to
attend classes, are $50 for a full semester and
$25 for a half semester.
the price doesnt seem to scare away
too many students. Long says 950 passes
have been sold online and in the frst week
of class 400 more were sold. in the 2009-2010
academic year 1700 full passes were sold. With
a 45-person occupancy limit, classes fll up
quickly and instructors urge students to show
up early to ensure a spot in the class.

Ashleigh Meyer tries to keep her newest
obsession separate from her social life. But
every once in a while she slips up. I defnitely
have gone out with silly Bandz on my wrist,
Meyer, shawnee junior, says. My boyfriends
like Im not sure if those go with your outft.
the pink slices of silicone encircling her
arm may look like regular rubber bands but
theyre actually much sillier. When removed,
silly Bandz spring back into their original form.
the most recent addition to Meyers jewelry
collection just happens to be in the shape of a
dinosaur Fred Flintstones dino to be exact.
she babysits children literally up to their elbows
in silly Bandz. With their help, she now has more
than 20 of her own. these kids are seven and
Im 20, but thats okay, Meyer says.
Ranging from mermaids to cowboy hats to
Justin Bieber shaped-bands, the original brand
of molded rubber bands is stretching their image
to appeal to a larger audience. the fad is no
longer childs play says Rachel Ybarra, manager
of the toy store, 936 Massachusetts st. Its
hilarious, Ybarra says. At frst I thought it was
going to be only elementary school kids but now
we have a lot of college kids looking for them.
Ybarra sees the young and old in search of
the elastic fun, but currently theres not a silly
Band in sight. the store completely sold out for
the frst time last week. the frst shipment of
100 packs arrived in May and the most recent
order called for one thousand. she compares
the craze to the Pog phenomenon.
I think they will stick around for a while and
then theyre going to die hard, Ybarra says.
Ybarra attributes part of the popularity to
the economic downturn. the toy store carries
20 different themes and silly band fans can
get 12 bracelets for $2.99. theyre relatively
inexpensive and theyre fun for everyone to
collect, Ybarra says. especially the limited
edition ones.
the toy store has been out of the mystical
creatures shapes for weeks, making the
unicorn bracelet a valuable commodity. But not
everyone is willing to barter. Im not a trader.
Im just a keeper, Maggie Brown, st. Louis,
Mo., senior, says.
Brown has seen what happens to silly Bandz
exchanges gone bad. she worked at an all-
boys camp in Maine this summer and saw one
camper trade every last one of his bands for
a glow-in-the dark monkey. I never thought
about the fad. I just never took them off, Brown
says.
Chad steele, Walmart toy sales associate,
has seen silly band sales take off and says
hes not surprised. he remembers when slap
bracelets were all the rage. every generation
has some random jewelry craze, steele says.
Like the slap bracelets, some elementary
schools are trying to install a serious ban,
insisting the bracelets stay at home. the
University has yet to adopt the silly band bans.
In fact, the KU Bookstore is waiting for their frst
shipment of the Jayhawk-shaped bands.
Rather than putting a tattoo on your face its
an easy way to show spirit, Brown says. that
may have to be my frst silly band purchase.
students like Meyer and Brown prove that
fashion, no matter how silly, can always stretch
the imagination.

Ghostland observatory, Passion Pit, or lCD

Strange Weather, Isnt It? blows through your

is that it seems very free and unconstrained,
both looking to the past for guidance yet
blazing a new trail for electronic music.
!!! looks to the past with their track The
Hammer, which is made for the dance
foor and only contains the lyrics Dont
stop / come on / dont stop / ow! which
clearly visualizes the bands intentions when
composing the song.
The single am/Fm is one of the funkiest
electronic songs Ive ever heard and fts
nicely as the album opener because it
immediately makes you beg for more. This
album also surprised me with how good it
was because even though Warp records is
one of my favorite music labels, no previous

Kevin Barnes is at it again with more
infectious psych pop on of Montreals latest
effort. Fans of the groups last album will smile
when the tambourine kicks off the funky opener,
I Feel ya Strutter.
Barnes, the bands mastermind and chief
songwriter, has supposedly chosen to return to
more traditional, acoustic instrumentation like
live pianos, drums and strings. The result is a
cheery blend of funk, dance and psychedelia-
infused pop gems a departure from the
synthetic tunes of 2008s Skeletal Lamping.
With a preference for what I think of as Barnes
golden-age sound (think Satanic Panic in the
Attic and Sunlandic Twins), I have to say that
this is much more appealing than the bands
sound as of late.
The lyrics are equally poignant and off-the-
wall. on Cocquet Coquette Barnes eerily
pleads, I dont wanna catch you with some
other guys face under your eyelids, and
then on Godly Intersex his deadpan mutter
describes a strange scene: a zombies licking
your window for black body radiation.
lyrics aside, False Priest is somewhat of a
studio wonder. There are marvelous futters

movie review //
The tagline for Get Low reads, a True
Tall Tale. and yet, despite its strong
performances and interesting premise, it
doesnt quite live up to its own expectations.
Everyone in roane County, Tenn. has
something to say about Felix Bush (robert
Duvall), the local hermit, urban legend and
surprisingly spry curmudgeon. one day,
Bush rides into town looking to buy himself a
funeral and wants anyone with a story to tell
about him to attend. The twist? Bush wants
to be there himself, alive.
Funeral directors Frank Quinn (Bill Murray)
and Buddy robinson (lucas Black) agree to
throw the funeral party and throw out all
the stops to ensure a big turn out. However,
it quickly becomes clear that Bush is no old
fool, and might have a story of his own to tell.
Get Low is beautifully shot by
cinematographer David Boyd, and when
combined with Jan a.P. Kaczmareks folksy
score, it truly feels like the audience has
been dropped right in the Depression-era
Midwest.
The acting in the flm is wonderful, most
notably Duvall, who so naturally embodies

get lOW
Bush that you forget its an act. yet, despite
being the central character, its Bill Murray who
steals the show. The flm as a whole sports a
very sly wit, but Murray leads the pack with his
legendary languid deadpan.
Unfortunately, for as strong as the flms
performances are, the story itself begins to
unravel about halfway through. The frst half
spends its time building the great mystery that
is Felix Bushs past and then fails to provide
anything particularly noteworthy.
