L
ast semester I published a personal
essay in Jayplay called Distorted Per-
ception, detailing my struggle with
my self-image. For those who have not yet
read it, the words disgusting, fat monster
sums up the experience accurately. I felt that
way about myself until my freshman year in
high school until a good friend of mine, Tim
Clark, fought my poor judgment persistently
until I gave in and realized how warped my
thoughts had been nearly all my life.
Looking back, I wonder how one inse-
curity got built up in my mind so much
that I hated the person within my detested
body. I grew up hearing, it doesnt matter
what you look like on the outside, its the
inside that counts. In my head I changed it
to, who cares who you are if you dont like
what you look like? Both parts of you are
useless. It sent me into severe depression
where Id spend entire days avoiding public
interaction. I wore oversized sweatshirts to
class everyday, paranoid that everyone was
thinking about the obvious lumps all over
my body. At night Id cry; nearly every night,
Id cry. Sometimes even with Tim.
Im not trying to retell my story, but draw
your attention to how damaging the quest to
be thin can get. My eating habits throughout
my entire life are far from perfect, but at no
point was I overeating or living a lifestyle
where I was headed toward obesity. When
we live in a culture where zero qualifes as
a size, we start to think that is the size we
have to be to be considered beautiful. Boney
is beautiful? My African thighs seem to
disagree.
Tere is a right way to lose weight and
if you are concerned with yours, Id suggest
checking out this weeks feature on page
eight for some good nutrition tips. You will
never be completely satisfed with the way
you look, trust me. And even if youve got
a lot, you should appreciate what you got.
I dont know if youve heard, but happy is
beautiful.

If theres one word to describe Phill
DeCoster, a senior from Kansas City,
Kan., it would be persistent. Last year in
his Illustration class he noticed someone
who he described as the cute girl to all
of his friends. Lucky for him, that cute
girl, junior Morgan Hutcherson, hap-
pened to pick him as his partner to work
on a caricature project together. Although
Morgan had a boyfriend at the time, Phill
never gave up his attempts to woo her.
He always sat by me in class and would

it takes Lawrence on a more micro scale,

you are in the hustle and bustle of school.

I think Im the best of both worlds. I can
be a country boy and I can be a city bitch.
Im not afraid to wear my Ugg boots or
my hunter boots, of course they are both
designers because you have to stick to
designers, always. People say Im funny,
outgoing and well rounded. Everyone
loves little Catholic boys.
make sure to hold the door for me afer
class was over, Morgan says. He did all
that cute old-fashioned stuf before we
were even dating.
It wasnt long before Morgan and her
boyfriend broke up at the end of spring
semester, so Phill took it as a sign, and
asked Morgan out. I didnt know if it
was a date or not so I had to slip it into a
text by asking him if he was going to pick
me up, Morgan says. I said no, Im going
to make it the crappiest date youve ever
been on, Phill chimed in with a smile.
Tat night, afer months of patiently
waiting, Phill mustered the courage to ask
Morgan to be his girlfriend.
dating tip: Maintain a balance in your
relationship.
Every Tursday Morgan and Phill
have a date night. Whether its watching
hockey, going to a cofee shop or working
on illustration homework, they take the
night to relax and spend time together. It
is always a nice end to the week, Morgan
says. Although it is sometimes hard, we
always try to fnd time and maintain bal-
ance with school and our relationship.
Whenever Morgan is having a bad day,
Phill fnds a way to surprise her and make
her smile. Once when she was stressed
out, he showed up outside of her class and
took her on a walk around campus to ease
her mind. We went around the Campa-
nile to the stadium and then all the way
up to the balcony of the Oread, Morgan
says. Sometimes I can be pretty serious
but he always knows how to lighten the
mood and makes things more easy going.
Te two have been together now for seven
months, so it seems Phills persistence
paid of.

Te Hookup
Michelle MacBain, Kansas City, is a graduate student in communication Studies. She studied psychology and
human sexuality at KU and the University of Amsterdam.
Email questions to michelle@michellemacbain.com
Dear Michelle,
I want to remain a virgin until I get
married. My boyfriend and I have only
kissed and touched each others genitals
with our hands. He wants more, but also
wants to respect my morals. He suggested
we try auxiliary sex. What is auxiliary
sex? How do I do it? Will it keep me a
virgin?

Virgin With Desires
Dear VWD,
Although some people defne auxil-
iary sex as anal sex with a woman during
her menstruation, auxiliary sex typically
involves a man inserting his penis into a
space on the body other than the mouth,
genitals or anus of the partner. Te most
popular form of auxiliary sex is placing a
penis between a womans breasts. How-
ever, there are other forms of auxiliary sex
that involve other parts of the body.
For example, your boyfriend may ask
to insert his penis into your armpit, inner
elbow, back of your knee or in between
your thighs. Te pleasure comes from the
skin-on-skin contact with his partner, as
well as the tight space you can provide
by closing down on his penis with your
body parts. He will simulate intercourse
by moving his penis in and out of the
chosen space, reaching climax and fnd-
ing a sexual satisfaction that most closely
resembles having sex.
Communicate to your boyfriend
how you feel about exploring this sexual
activity. If you do decide to participate in
auxiliary sex, remember to use plenty of
water-based or silicone lubrication on his
penis and in the chosen space.
Will this keep you a virgin? I cant
promise you anything. Te more you
participate in sexual experimentation, the
more you fnd the pleasure that comes
with sex and sexual intimacy, the more
likely you are to give in to your partners
desires and take your sexual exploration
to the next level. Communicating your
wants and desires (virginal or otherwise)
with a trustworthy, loving and respect-
ful partner will allow you to discover
your sexuality at your own pace, without
anxiety or regret. Go only as far as you
really want, but always remember to enjoy
the ride.

learning are undeniable, Gilden says in his
fndings. Tere is no question that a fresh
mind learns better.
I usually take a break every couple of
hours so I dont go crazy staring at my notes,
says Kelli Hammon, a senior from Andover.
Its important to get out of the studying zone
and relax my brain by going to a movie or get-
ting Sonic at happy hour with some friends.
Stonehill College in Easton, Mass., ofers
students tips for taking breaks when studying,
such as using breaks as mini-rewards. Study
for a couple of hours and then reward yourself
by checking your e-mail or listening to a song.
Taking breaks allows information to sink in,
giving the brain time to grow new connections
between cells, while focusing on something
else for a short period of time.

Reusch, one of the founders of Kansas
City label Te Record Machine, was the
mastermind behind Kansas Citys Middle
of the Map Fest earlier this month. Te
festival was more robust than Reuschs
frst attempt last year this time around
the festival featured 45 more bands, more
venues and three total days instead of two.
I talked with Reusch, 32, about the festival,
local music and his label.
What Was the original inspiration for
Middle of the Map fest?
Originally, I came back from South by
Southwest two years ago, and just knew
that I wanted to start something. We
wanted to keep it within proper venues
versus outdoor stages. We didnt want to
go to a feld somewhere and have to rec-
reate something. We knew all these clubs
were already here in KC and we could just
reunite.
Signs sporting various phrases of
protest scatter the foor of the Spencer
Art Museums Center Court, contributed
by local activists to raise awareness for
causes they are particularly passionate
about. Some look like they were drawn
by children, while others glare with more
serious messages. As I look around the
room, one thing is clear this space, like
many activist movements, is a work in

progress.
Sponsored by the William T. Kemper
Foundation, the Freeman Foundation
and the Center for East Asian Studies, the
opportunity for Beijing native artist Chen
Shaoxiong arose in 2011, and the artist
frst came to visit the campus in Sep-
tember of last year. His residency began
March 6, and he is the last in a series of
Asian artists that have come through the
Spencer Art Museum doors since 2008.
Shaoxiongs residency was very unusual
because, in the end, he didnt want to
show his own work but use it as a research
opportunity to learn about protests, says
Kris Ercums, the curator of the project.
One of the goals of the residency
and this project is to create a space for
practice and protest, so that everyone can
know how to peacefully participate in a
protest if they so choose. Trough a series
of workshops and other events inviting
local activists and artists to participate,
which Shaoxiong refers to as a training
camp for activists, the artist has evalu-
ated the anatomy of a social protest. Some
workshops were simply discussions of
types of demonstrations, while others
invited activists on stage for Soap Box
Fridays, where protesters got two min-
utes to state their causes.
I hope people will get more knowl-
edge, confdence and strategies for pro-
testing from the exhibition, Shaoxiong
says. I hope art can help political life.
While workshops in collaboration with
the Spencer have ceased, interested activ-
ists and local residents can still submit
any protests they have via the Issue
Fence, set up outside the museum. Its
covered in messages written on paper and
cardboard and is an ever-growing aspect
of Shaoxiongs exhibit. Te exhibit, titled
Prepared: Strategies for Activists, will be
on display until July 22.
// alex tretbar Q & A: nathan reusch
What kind of support did you need to get
it off the ground?
I sat down with Ink Magazine and said,
Heres my idea to start a music festival.
Tey helped out and gave us a backing in
the beginning. We had never worked an
event on this scale, so they helped with
administration, too.
did you rely on local bands for filling
out the festival lineup?
I was doing a radio interview and it was
mentioned that there were 70 local KC
bands on the festival. I was shocked. It
wasnt necessarily intentional; it was just
organic.
do you play Music?
Not exactly. I used to perform years ago,
but Im pretty much retired. I used to
play keyboards a goofy one-man band
called Bobcat Attack.
What have you learned since forMing the
record Machine?
Immense amounts of info. Teres so
much trial and error in this business. You
get to work with people you love, and
were always trying something diferent.
Sometimes you feel like youre bashing
your head against the wall, but its worth
it.
artist chen shaoxiong and the spencer Museum of
art invite local artists and activists to contribute to
the issue fence, located on the front lawn of the
museum.
nathan reusch is a co-founder of kansas city label
the record Machine and was a curator for Middle of
the Map fest earlier this month.
Middle of the Map Fest (April 5 through 7)

like neon indian, Mates of state, Mission of burma
and Murder by death.

While we think were being healthy, we may be
consuming more calories than we realize. // megan hinman
Cutting, counting and
consuming
calorie intake
on campus
photo illustration by morgan laforge
One-third of American adults are
obese, yet somehow 90 percent of Ameri-
can adults say their diets are healthy,
with 59 percent saying they are strict or
careful about what they eat, according
to a Consumer Reports survey on nutri-
tion last year.
Evan Glidewell, a senior from Olathe,
is the epitome of this contradiction. He
has salad for lunch at least three times a
week. I know that a salad is not neces-
sarily healthy just because its a salad, he
says, so I try to use a low fat dressing, if
possible, and avoid any high calorie ad-
ditives like crunchy chicken. But he eats
out every weekend, sometimes multiple
times a day if hes out late. I usually fght
with myself about getting something that
sounds really good, or something that
isnt as good, but is a lot healthier, he
says.
Glidewells healthy side almost never
wins his internal battle, and hes not alone
in that. Many people disrupt their diets
without realizing it, and then they wonder
why the pounds arent falling of.
Te most common mistakes people
make when trying to lose weight are their
choices in carbohydrates and beverages,
says Aaron Boos, owner of Lawrence
Nutrition Center, 4931 W. Sixth St. Its
important to learn which carbs are good
for you and will provide the most energy.
As far as beverages go, It would be the
easiest thing in the world to just switch to
water, Boos says.
Te average American drinks 50 gal-
lons of soda per year, according to a New
York Times article about Americas soda
consumption. Tat comes out to 17.5
ounces, which is almost a can and half,
and 210 calories per day if you drink
Coca-Cola. If you stopped drinking Coke
for a year and changed nothing else about
your diet, you could lose 22 pounds. It
may seem like a minimal change, but it
could have a maximum efect.
Cutting soda from your diet may seem
like an obvious solution, but cutting juice
drinks may be just as useful. We unknow-
ingly undermine our eforts by consum-
ing beverages that mask themselves as
healthy, but are actually high in calories
and sugar. One bottle of FUZE Mixed
Berry has at least 40 percent of your daily
need for vitamins A, C, E, and B
6
, but the
drink is only 5 percent fruit juice, and
one 16.9 ounce bottle is 180 calories, with
45 grams of sugar per bottle. Te same
amount of soda has 62.4 grams of sugar.
Beverages arent the only thing we deceive
ourselves about, though.
Michael, a recent KU grad from Law-
rence, had a salad with broccoli, cucum-
bers, mushrooms, carrots, celery and red
and green peppers, all of which are very
low in calories. Ten he added grilled
chicken, ranch dressing, bacon, cheese
and croutons, and had a cup of chili on
the side. He hadnt considered that his
meal was close to half of his calorie allow-
ance for the day when he made it, and he
says may have reconsidered some of his
toppings if he had thought about it.
According to NetNutrition, an online
meal analysis system ofered by KU
Dining Services, Michaels salad alone
was about 600 calories, not including
the chicken, which likely added at least
another hundred calories. Te chili added
another 200 calories to his meal, and his
beverage likely added even more, though
it was not included in his total. If he
would have skipped the chili, croutons,
bacon, chicken and cheese, and switched
to fat-free ranch dressing, his calorie total
wouldve been about 250.
Michael is defnitely not the only one
to create a salad with health in mind and
then later (or possibly never) realize the
meals calorie count. Only 15 percent of
people in the Consumer Reports survey
count calories. For calorie counting to
work, you have to be meticulous with
your calculations. You cant guess or
forget something. You cant eat up your
limit with empty calories, meaning foods
that provide no nutritional value. You can
fnd out online what your calorie intake
should be. Try www.fatsecret.com, a site
that doesnt charge or require sign-up.
To lose one pound, you need a net in-
take of -3,500 calories for the time during
which you want to lose the weight, says
Cheryl Wiley, KU Dining Services regis-
tered dietician. Tat means if you have a
2,000 calorie diet, you can eat 250 calories
less than usual, exercise to burn of anoth-
er 250 calories, and youll lose one pound
per week if you keep it up, because your
daily loss of 500 calories will total -3,500
by the end of the week. Losing one or two
pounds per week is the healthiest rate to
lose weight and though it may seem slow,
you could lose 52 pounds in a year if you
sustained it.
If youre looking for healthy food on
campus, there are plenty of options. KU
Dining Services created Better Bites, a
program that ofers foods with no more
than 30 percent calories from fat, less
than 600 calories per entre, and less than
24 grams of fat per entre. Better Bites
options are about 30 percent of the 5,000
recipes KU Dining Services has, says
Nona Golledge, director of KU Dining
Services, and they account for about 20
percent of total KU Dining sales.
Better Bites includes items like the
Chick-Fil-A char grill sandwich, which
is a substitute for the standard breaded
chicken sandwich, but the Chick-Fil-A
Sauce (140 calories per packet) is not
included. Better Bites also includes the
bufalo chicken wrap from Brellas, which
can replace the infamous crunchy chicken
cheddar wrap. When you switch to grilled
chicken, however, you also have to drop
the ranch dressing. Better Bites items
are at every dining location, and theyre
marked with the Better Bites logo on the
corresponding menu. Teyre also listed
online as part of NetNutrition.
NetNutrition shows the nutritional
information for every item KU Dining
serves, except for Chick-Fil-A and Pizza
Hut, but you can fnd that information on
the respective companies websites. Net-
Nutrition makes calorie counting simple.
All you have to do is select the foods you
ate on a particular day and the system will
total the nutritional values for your whole
meal. Students should do their research
beforehand on the nutrition analysis
of the items theyre consuming, says
Golledge, just to be better informed and
aware of what their options are.
Danielle, a senior from Olathe, was
able to keep her calorie count low by
analyzing calorie values and skipping the
fattening toppings. She chose beans, tofu,
carrots, mushrooms and fat-free Italian
dressing (18 calories per one tablespoon
serving). Her meal totaled about 400
calories, and she was able to get the same
nutrients from beans and tofu as Michael
got from his chicken and bacon, without
the increased fat content.
Danielle is one of many students to
take advantage of the healthier choices
on campus. Sure, Brellas serves a lot of
crunchy chicken cheddar wraps KU
Dining uses 24 tons of chicken tenders
every year but students are eating even
more salad. KU Dining uses 28 tons of
mixed greens every year, Golledge says,
and you can get a lot more servings of
salad out of a ton of greens than you can
get crunchy chicken cheddar wraps out of
a ton of crunchy chicken, and each serv-
ing of mixed greens has a lot less calories
than a chicken tender.
While calories may be the most im-
portant aspect to losing weight, its still
important to keep a balanced diet, even
if youre not trying to lose weight, so
that your body can get all the nutrients
it needs to thrive. To do this, Wiley, KU
Dinings dietician, recommends follow-
ing the Mediterranean Diet, which KU
Dining is facilitating currently the din-
ing locations are ofering foods that are
consistent with this diet and explaining it
in displays and suggested plates.

When I reached my highest
weight ever, I decided to change
my diet. I got fed up with my over-
eating and the guaranteed bloating
after every meal usually pizza,
ramen, tacos, etc. I decided to
count calories. I counted for two
long weeks.
I downloaded the Calorie Counter
application on my iPhone and cal-
culated every snack, dressing and
drink I had. I cut most drinks that
werent water because I hated seeing
my calorie count rise for something
that didnt fll me up. I also ate a lot
more salad than before (with low-cal
roasted tomato dressing instead of
my preferred choice of Thousand
Island). I didnt sacrifce every food
I enjoyed; I just made some of them
healthier like thin crust supreme
pizza instead of deep dish pepper-
oni. I lost more than fve pounds in
the short time I counted, and I was
more than pleased with my results.

beans, and good fats, like olive oil and
avocados. To follow this diet, you should
eat seafood twice a week, limit dairy,
poultry and eggs to only the recom-
mended portion sizes for your appropri-
ate calorie intake. For the average 2,000
calorie diet, you should have four serv-
ings of low-fat dairy items and six ounces
of high-quality protein foods, Wiley says.
You should also drink plenty of fuids,
but stay away from sugary drinks. Sodas
are a fun beverage, Wiley says, but they
provide the diet with empty calories.
If youre trying to watch what you eat,
watch closely. If you want to lose weight
in a healthy way, you have to pay close
attention to what you consume, but make
sure you still get the proper nutrients.
In the end, it all boils down to your net

Tere was a time when action heroes didnt have to carry the weight of the world
on their brooding, perfectly toned shoulders. Tere was a time when they were like us:
fawed, downtrodden, maybe a bit on the cynical side. Bruce Williss John McClane and
Kurt Russells Snake Plissken got the job done with a wink and a grunt, saving the day
with little more than blue-collar gumption and one-liners cut from the fnest premium
cheddar.
Movie Review:
"Lockout" //landon mcdonald
contriBUted PHoto
motor-mouthed mercenary Guy Pearce must rescue the presidents daughter
from an orbital prison riot in lockout.
Agent Snow (Guy Pearce), the pun-happy protagonist of the high-concept, low-yield
sci-f yarn Lockout, would make a worthy addition to their ranks, despite the fact
that almost everything else in his movie reeks of creative compromise and the listless
cataloging of hoary action clichs. French action gourmand Luc Besson, who seemed
on the verge of a creative renaissance afer producing Taken back in 2009, appears
determined to continue cooking up potentially exciting concepts and diluting them
into bloodless, sanitized rubbish.
But honestly, how do you screw up a movie about a wisecracking badass who gets
sent into orbit to rescue the presidents daughter (Maggie Grace) from a riot that breaks
out during an ill-advised humanitarian trip to Space Prison? Answer: you cram it to
the gills with incomprehensible Scottish prison slang, green-screened backdrops and
woefully derivative action sequences featuring some of the dodgiest CGI in recent
memory.
Te flm would be a complete waste of space if it werent for its admittedly astute
casting choices. Pearce, a favorite of mine in flms like L.A. Confdential and Te
Proposition, plays Snow like the rascally kid brother of Han Solo and Spike from
Cowboy Bebop. I cant wait to see what he brings to Ridley Scotts upcoming Pro-
metheus. He develops a natural repartee with the lovely Grace, who between this and
Taken must require rescue more ofen than Lois Lane. Fargo veteran Peter Stormare
brings his usual oily menace to the role of Langral, a shadowy government operative
who may have framed Snow for high treason.
But a gifed cast cant save a sub-par movie. In the end, Lockout isnt funny or
violent or even comically inept enough to warrant a watch. It just sits there for an hour
and a half, dragging itself through the same tired paces, dredging up stolen memories
of better flms from better flmmakers. Trust me, sci-f fans: this is one for the garbage
compactor.

Amy Tompson, a sophomore from
Shawnee, is proud to consider herself a hip-
pie. A resident at the Ecumenical Campus
Ministries (ECM) building, Tompson,
as well as other residents, strive to live an
environmentally conscious lifestyle, doing
things like using eco-friendly soap, buying
second hand furniture and clothes, having a
compost pile and reducing meat consump-
tion. Ever since I can remember its been
something really important to me, Tomp-
son says. Tere was a fre under my ass
Saving money and the planet
Learn tips for reducing energy bill costs while becoming more
environmentally friendly
//allison bond
Keep thermo stat settings at 78 degrees or higher. Raise the tem-
perature at night. Install a programmable thermostat.
Move air with ceiling fans or use natural ventilation whenever
possible.
During hot, humid times, seal up the house and air-condition
around the clock.
Close vents to unoccupied rooms
Run the bathroom exhaust fan while showering to reduce humid-
ity.
Be sure the clothes dryer is sealed and vented to the outside.
Have air-conditioners or heat pumps serviced. Change flters
once a month or when needed.
Close window shades and curtains on sun exposed windows.
Minimize heat in the kitchen by grilling outdoors and using the
microwave instead of the oven or stove.
westar energy company offers its own
summer energy saving tips:
since I was a little kid; Im not sure where it
came from. While being environmentally
conscious can help the planet, it can also
help save money. While, you dont have to
have the enthusiasm of a hippie, with gas
prices rising to a predicted $4 this summer,
everyone is looking to cut spending in some
areas. One way can be through reducing
energy bill costs around the home.
It all starts with the thermostat. Te
highest amount of energy used in the U.S.
is for heating and cooling spaces, says
Stacey Swearingen White, associate director
of environmental studies at KU. Produc-
ing energy requires fossil fuel. Burning of
fossil fuels releases pollutants, which cause
air and water pollution. Fossil fuels also
contain greenhouse gases, which contribute
to climate change. Using a programmable
thermostat to control heating and cooling
is the best way to save money and energy,
Swearingen White says. However, if that
is not an option, remembering to turn the
thermostat down when you leave and turn-
ing it back up a few degrees when getting
back home saves more energy than leaving
it at a higher constant temperature.
Another option for saving energy is pow-
ering of appliances and lights. It used to be
thought that you need to leave a computer
running because it took more energy to
power back up, Swearingen White says.
With new computers, though, its thought
that if youre going to be away for more than
half an hour to turn it of. Turning of lights
can have the same efect. Swearingen White
suggests turning of lights if away from a
room for longer than two to three minutes.
Buying energy efcient light bulbs can
also be efective. Although more expensive,
fuorescent light bulbs use one-fourth the
energy and last 10 times longer than regular
incandescent light bulbs, according to the
U.S. Department of Energy. Swearingen
White ofers the tip to replace apartment
light bulbs with fuorescents, and then
remember to take the light bulbs with you
when you move out to continue using them.
Finally, fnding a place to live that is
closer to daily activities allows you to walk
or bicycle instead of driving to help cut
costs and fossil fuel pollution. Other ways
the ECM saves money is by carpooling
together, recycling, using the washer and
dryer sparingly and not showering as ofen.
It seems like a lot but small changes over
time are easy to make, Tompson says. An-
other unique way the residents try to save
money is by dumpstering, a process where
the residents fnd packaged food like bell
peppers, bottled water, grapes and canned
goods from dumpsters. Its defnitely the
most unique thing our community does to
save money, energy and resources, Tomp-
son says.
Slowly implementing one or more of
these lifestyle changes can help save money
as well as help the environment. While you
dont have to get dreadlocks or stop wearing
shoes, you may fnd yourself becoming an
earth-loving hippie too.

With the economy in its current state,
the last thing hardworking students need is
to have to compete for admissions, scholar-
ships and jobs with people that cut corners
to get where they are. Fortunately, people
right here at KU are leading a nationwide

tions stay one step ahead of people who
cheat on tests.
On May 23 and 24, the KU Center for
Educational Testing and Evaluation will
What do you know about...

hold its frst scholarly conference to focus
on using statistical analysis of answers as a
way to detect test fraud through patterns of
irregularity. Neal Kingston, director of the
center, says that the conference will beneft
students by creating a fair system so that
everyone is on an equivalent playing feld.
Representatives from state education
departments, college admission boards and
private testing institutions will be attending
to collaborate on methods to address test
fraud. Schools and exam boards are able to
do so, Kingston explains, by recognizing
similarities in test answers and patterns in
answer changing, as well as implement-
ing state-of-the-art security measures and
reviewing the incentives of schools.
Emerging problems in electronic test
fraud will be given special attention, as well
as the institutional problem of macro-level
cheating that has risen from school districts
competing for results-driven funding.

Hes stirring a large pot of rice noodles with metal chopsticks when he looks over at me.
You have to keep stirring the noodles or they will clump up, he says.
Sonephasith Phansiri, a senior from Vientiane, Laos, is preparing his own recipe of fried
noodles, similar to Tailands Pad Tai. He says his family told him hes not allowed to come to
reunions without it.
Rice noodles, also known as rice sticks, are gluten free and take much less time to cook than
noodles made from grain. He boils the noodles for 10 minutes before draining them and putting
them in a bowl of cold water. Phansiri says the cold water keeps the noodles from overcooking.
With 1 tablespoon of oil in a nonstick pan, he fries a pound of shrimp.
You can steam or fry the shrimp, whichever you prefer, Phansiri says.
When the shrimp turns pink he sets the pan aside and scrambles three eggs. He says you can
Eat this
fried noodles //sara sneath
cook a bundle of green onions and cilantro with the egg or use them like garnish at the end.
Phansiri says he prefers them uncooked.
In a deep pan, he pours in the noodles and adds one 8-ounce jar of Lee brand Pad Tai Sauce.
You can fnd the sauce at the Chinatown Food Market, 202 Grand Blvd in Kansas City, Mo. He
tosses the noodles around in the pan to work in the sauce.
For this recipe, Phansiri used half of the 14-ounce package of rice noodles. He adds the cooked
eggs and shrimp and continues to pan toss the ingredients. He uses a fat spoon to plop a por-
tion on my plate and then sprinkles on fresh onions, cilantro and
crushed peanuts. He cuts a lime and places a wedge at the corner
of my plate.
Te dish has a nice balance of sweet and spicy. Te red chili
pepper in the pad thai sauce smells much hotter than it is. Te
best part about making fried noodles in your home is there are
noticeably more shrimp in every portion.

Out & About
Smartphones are quickly becoming the fastest growing technology in the U.S. Te
phones are saturating the American market more quickly than the radio, VCR and
even the Internet, according to data analysts at Asymco. Asymco, a digital research
blog, says that more than 50 percent of U.S. households now own a smartphone. Te
site estimates that it has taken the smartphone industry eight years to reach half of
American consumers. Gartner, an information technology research and advisory
company, predicts mobile application revenue will increase 1000 percent between 2010
to 2014. Te popularity of Draw Something and Instagram appear to support this
prediction.
Has this trend in mobile applications reached the University of Kansas? All of
the KU students I spoke with in the Underground had a smartphone. Tey told me
whether or not theyve played Draw Something and about the best images theyve
seen or made.
Yes, I have a smartphone and use Draw Something. Te best
thing Ive drawn is a sunset. It had mountains and coconut trees.

M
y street wasnt plowed, and as
I drove through the skids and
bumps to get to my house, I once again
started to get butterfies in my stomach,
as I had for the past two weeks. It was De-
cember of my senior year of high school
and I had applied to only one college,
New York University, 1,300 miles away
from my small hometown in Kansas. I
hadnt heard back and was getting the
gnawing feeling that I wasnt going to get
into the college I had planned my future
life around. I turned into my driveway
and stopped at the mailbox, as I had
done every day for at least a month. Tis
was the frst time in my life I had been
anxious about checking the mail, as I
had meticulously crafed my resume and
stressed over perfecting my application
just two months before. I carefully opened
the box, took out its contents and fipped
through. Bill, bill, catalog, and an enve-
lope addressed to Miss Rachel Schultz.
I started shaking. It was the small en-
velope. I had heard from people I had met
upon visiting that the big envelope was
N.Y.-Not U
//Rachel schultz
the telltale sign of an acceptance letter. I
didnt even have to open it to know that
what I was holding wasnt that. I started
crying. Now it seems so trivial, crying
over not getting into my dream college.
But thats what I did. Most people from
Hays go straight from Wee Friends Pre-
School through middle school to Hays
High School, and on to Fort Hays State
University. Te town was self-contained;
hardly anyone moved away. Although I
respect the people who choose to make
Hays their home for life, I knew that
would never be me.
Maybe it was the movies, maybe I was
looking to fulfll a clich, but whatever the
reason, I dreamed that New York was the
place for me. I wanted to get away from
the country music and conservative life I
had led in Kansas to meet new people and
try the big city on for size. How would I
ever know what I liked if I didnt experi-
ence it all? I planned to go to New York
and do something in theatre, whether it
was to star in the show or write reviews
from the audience, I didnt know, but I
did know it was far away from the only
thing I had ever known, and that excited
me.
People had told me not to do it. Advis-
ers hadnt outright said that the chances
were slim to none that a small-town
girl from a public high school in Kan-
sas would get into an East Coast private
school, but they made it clear that it
wasnt likely. I wouldnt listen. I was deter-
mined to prove them wrong and get out
of Kansas for a life I always dreamed of in
a big city (so typical, right?). But holding
that letter in my hand, I knew those plans
were coming to a screeching halt.
I got in my car and drove straight to
my moms store where she was working.
Normally I walk in and am greeted with
big smiles from her coworkers and sloppy
kisses from the store Labrador retriever,
but today they must have known some-
thing had gone wrong, because they
kept their distances. I had calmed myself
down, but when my mom saw my face,
she knew immediately what had hap-
pened, and I started crying again. I apolo-
gized to her and my dad for taking me to
New York (twice), for visiting the school
and for an interview the month before. I
was actually ashamed that they had done
that for me, believed in me so much,
and that I hadnt made it happen. Other
deadlines for schools had passed (and I
hadnt researched any others anyway). My
mom knew this, so of course, with a smile
on her face, she asked, So, KU it is? I
nodded, but I was still visibly upset from
NYUs rejection. I told her to keep that
letter, because one day it wouldnt bother
me anymore and I wanted to see it again
then.
Te next few months, I did a little
research about Lawrence and KU. To
be honest, I was still reluctant to apply
because I didnt fully believe that I wasnt
going to spend the next four years of my
life in New York. I fnally applied online
in April, got an acceptance later that
month, and visited campus for the frst
time that summer at orientation, all the
while planning to apply for transfer to
NYU second semester of freshman year.
I found out who I would be living with in
June, facebook-creeped her for the next
two months, and fnally met my freshman
year roommate, Megan, on an especially
hot afernoon on move-in day in August.
It didnt take long to learn that she was in
the same situation as I; she applied to her
dream school but came to KU, a fortu-
itous coincidence.
Recruitment began, a week later I
pledged a sorority and classes began, and
over the next few months my skepticism
faded and eventually I closed the applica-
tion for transfer that was forever-opened
on my computer. Somewhere between
those frst few days in the dorm, tiptoe-
ing around each other and hiding our
bad habits, and only a few months later,
embarrassingly singing Taylor Swif songs
and dancing up and down the hallways
like idiots together, Megan and I became
great friends. I know that a lot of why I
enjoyed KU so much and decided to stay
was that she and I got to fgure out our
new paths together that frst year here.
In the back of my mind, I kept consid-
ering revisiting the application, just seeing
if I got in, and then deciding whether or
not to accept, but then I realized I didnt
want to know. In a matter of weeks I had
made my life here, made friends I couldnt
imagine leaving, and realized how lucky
I was that I didnt go to New York. I
came to KU, fell in love with the campus
and people, and over the next four years
gathered a collection of experiences that I
never would have had in New York City.
My life may not have taken the path I
originally planned, but its for the better.
As graduation approaches, Im sure Ill
have to face rejection again. Searching for
jobs, I know I might not get my frst, sec-
ond or even third choice, and thats even
if I get asked back for an interview. I may
not know where exactly Ill be this time
next year, but I can say that that NYU
rejection letter prepared me more for life
than a lot of high school and college did,
because it fnally taught me that Im not
always going to get what I want, when I
want to get it.
I dont know if my mom still has that
letter, but I hope she does. Im sure she
opened it at some point just on the of
chance I did actually get in. Even so, I still
wouldnt regret my decision to come to
KU. Whatever paths I end up taking from
here on out may not be the ones I origi-
nally planned on, but they will be good
ones nonetheless.
