t o c

On Thanksgiving Day, when I was 9,
I saw sleet for the frst time in my life; it
was a rare sighting for a native Texan.
Sitting around the dinner table at a
friends house, with mashed potatoes
and turkey in my belly, I learned the
difference between a fush and a full
house and how to keep a straight face
during a bluff.
I dont know if my poker face would
help me in front of a computer screen
Ive never tried but the online
poker fends in Jayplays feature know
how to give their opponents a run for
their money.
Check out the online poker story
on page 8, and visit www.partypoker.
com. Maybe Ill be there, exercising the
poker stare Ive perfected over the last
13 years.

Niloofar: Yeah.Youre horny.
REALLY HORNY.You and just
about 28,000 other people on
campus. But, as a love-seeking
lady myself, Im a bit disturbed
that you want to avoid qualifer
number three. I think youll
fnd that in the long run, youll
be much more gratifed and
satisfed in a meaningful
relationship. Is there really any
better feeling than knowing
theres a nice girl with a frst
and last name ready and
waiting, whenever youve got
the urge? Then again, you are
a freshman and maybe not
ready for something serious. So
in the meantime, ladys night is
tonight and every Thursday, at
Liquid, 806.W. 24th St., and its
18 and over, which means lots
of freshmen. And lots of ladies.
While youre grinding up against
a few booties to 50 Cent, you
can try to get a few numbers
and maybe some play. And if
that doesnt work, theres always
Priscillas, right across the street.
Chris: Youre facing a tall task.
Money, booze and love are the
three most effective means of
sexual conquest available to
the modern male. Ill assume
youre not exceptionally good-
looking, so youre facing an
uphill battle in the pursuit of
pro bono boning. Faced with
these daunting restrictions, I am
forced to recommend dancing.
Theres something about
rhythmic body movements
combined with a healthy dose
of genital grinding that can
turn Quasimodo into Casanova
in the time it takes Pharrell to
tell us to Take It Off.Dancing
will also eliminate much of
the need for talking, which is
good for you and, judging by
the depths of your desperation,
good for your unfortunate prey
as well.
IM REALLY HORNY. REALLY HORNY. IS THERE SOME WAY I
CAN FIND A WOMAN TO HAVE SEX WITH, WITHOUT PAYING
FOR IT, GETTING DRUNK OR HAVING A RELATIONSHIP?

IVE BEEN HERE FOR TWO YEARS AND HAVE NOT DATED A GIRL. I USED TO HIDE UNDER THE FACT
THAT I WAS ALWAYS BUSY, TOO INVOLVED OR JUST DIDNT WANT A GIRLFRIEND. I LOVE GOING
OUT, BEING CRAZY AND MEETING GIRLS, BUT I ALWAYS GET PUT IN THAT FRIENDS CATEGORY,
EVEN AT THE GREEK LEVEL. TIME IS RUNNING OUT, AND I FEAR THAT EVENTUALLY I WILL LOSE MY
COMPASSION AND ABILITY TO LOVE. HELP!
MIKE, JUNIOR
Chris: It sounds like your
compassion and ability to love
is probably whats getting you
put in that friendscategory. I
mean, youve tried being nice.
Hell, youve tried going Greek.
If a social system thats set up
for young men to dateyoung
women isnt working for you,
then what possibly could? Its
time for you to accept cold, harsh
reality and stop delaying the
inevitable. Losing hope could be
the best thing to ever happen to
you. It will foster the contempt
and simmering anger needed to
ensure you never get placed in
that friendscategory again. It
will dull the stabbing pain of the
eventual heartbreak and make
your frst few divorces that much
easier to drink away. Plus, being
a miserable bastard might just
give you the bad boyappeal
that women our age are so
disgustingly drawn to. Best of
luck, man, because you need it.
Niloofar: In a soccer game, would
the trailing team give up at half
time? No.Youre only a junior, and
that means this week marks the
beginning of the second half. And
youre going to win this thing. In
life, we attract what we ARE. So if
you are struggling, you will attract
situations that will cause you
to struggle even more. So stop
trying so hard! Like they say, if
you chase a butterfy youll never
catch it, but if you stand still, itll
eventually land on your shoulder.
Im not suggesting you sit on
your ass in the corner of your dark
apartment, because, the truth is,
that despite our brazen feminism,
most women still want a man to
do the initiating when it comes
to dating. Put yourself out there.
Remember, in a world where
Billy Bob Thornton can marry
Angelina Jolie, a compassionate
young man like yourself can fnd
a girl in college.

Breaking up
is to do
by Lisa Anderson
08.24.2006 JAYPLAY 05
Its been 10 whirlwind years
since Dallas Clow and his on-
again-off-again girlfriend,
Lauren Richards, met. Their time
together has been sporadic and
confusing, but there has always
beensomethingspecialbetween
them, Clowsays.
ClowandRichards, KUalumni,
launched their romance in
January 1996
while attending
KU, where they
met through a
mutual friend.
That April,
Clow dropped
out of school
and moved to
Houston, where
he bought a
sailboat. He felt
an obligation
to himself to try
something new
and get away for a while, Clow
says.ClowandRichardscontinued
a long-distance relationship
until the summer of 1997, when
Richardsstarteddatingsomeone
else in Lawrence: break-up
number one. The couple has
reconvened and gone through
the cycle several times since.
After knowing each other and
dating off-and-on for 10 years
sixofwhichwereconsecutive
yearsapartthecoupleisback
together and again maintaining
along-distancerelationship.
Itseasytoassumethatcouples
thathoponthebreak-up/make-
up carousel have revived their
tumultuous relationships out of
fearorloneliness.
But couples break up and
make up for reasons beyond the
co-dependencyissue, saysPamela
J. Botts, interim director of KU
Counseling and Psychological
Services. People are typically
attractedtoeachotherbecauseof
common interests on the surface
she says. Over time, although
they appreciate
certain qualities
about each
other, theynotice
other aspects
that just dont
work out and
therefore end
the relationship,
shesays.
Breaking up
can sometimes
shed some light
onarelationship.
People often
gain perspective and distance
from the relationship after they
separate, which helps them see
mistakes and ways to fx them,
Botts says. This can essentially
lead them back into the
relationship,
Emily Hampton, Lawrence
senior, has had a hard time
fnalizing a break-up in the past
year. Shefellinlovewithherbest
friendnowon-again/off-again
boyfriend one year ago. They
have broken up several times,
butshejustcantseemtoletgo.
I guess theres just a dreamy
part of me that thinks when you
fall in love you are supposed to
tryandmakeithappen, shesays.
That should be the person you
arewithforever.
Because shes in love with
herbestfriend, itshardtomove
on, Hampton says. She believes
thatonceyouhaveapassionate
and intimate connection with
someone who means the world
to you, its hard to imagine
experiencingthatwithsomeone
else, she says. Although she has
triedtodateotherdateableand
up-to-parfellows, shesaysthatit
isjustnotthesame. Aconcoction
offriendshipandpassionalways
leads her back to her ex, even
though she knows that its best
for her to move on, Hampton
says. Its not that she thinks she
cant or wont fall in love with
someone else again. She knows
itspossible.
So whether youre riding the
make-up/break-up carousel
yourself or watching a friend
go around and around, take
a step back and evaluate the
relationship. Are there problems
that you can work through, or is
ittimetomoveon?

Freshman Kurtis Martin
sports the classic beard, a
timeless choice that speaks
paragraphs about who he is as
a person. Basically, I chose this
style because of laziness,Martin
says.I just let it go.When grown
out to its logical conclusion, the
classic beard can evoke images of
such greats as former president
Ulysses S. Grant or John Lennon
circa Let it Be. I prefer to keep it
trimmed. I dont want to go to
freaky, Martin says.
Junior Brady Hartman sports
a newer brand of facial hair.
My mom likes to call it chin
whiskers, Hartman says. The
offcial name for Hartmans hair
doo is up for discussion, but
what is for sure, is that his beard
is part of a lineage of goatees
that saw its heyday in the 1990s
and remains a popular choice
today. Hartman relays another
notable reason for growing out
his goatee: You could say the
ladies like the chin hair.
Sophomore Gido Van de
Liefvoort embraces a unique
style of moustache. Its basically
the handlebar with a little soul
patch thrown in there, he says.
On a larger scale, this handlebar
moustache has made an unlikely
resurgence after mysteriously
disappearing from the popular
consciousness in the late 70s.
Van de Liefvoort says he sports
it because it was just something
he hadnt tried before.

MAKE YOUR OWN VEGGIE BURGER
When I was in kindergarten,
my family went on a vacation to
California.While some people use
vacation as an excuse to try new
foods, I used it as an opportunity
to eat 13 cheeseburgers in 10
days. No, my family did not eat
entirely at McDonalds. And I
didnt have any sort of food
allergies preventing me from
exploring options like seafood
or even spaghetti. I just really
like cheeseburgers.
Although my meat intake
did not continue with such
voracity for the rest of my life, I
am still without a doubt a
happily consuming carnivore.
So it is with my carnivorous
history that my journey into
meatless patties is quite
surprising.I tried a veggie burger
when my friend made me take
a bite of her Boca Burger. To
be polite, I took as small a bite
as possible, but couldnt help
closing my eyes.
Surprisingly, it was good.
And not good as in that was
nice, but good as in I should
start making these too.
Maggie Kelley, Kansas City,
Mo. senior, made a similar
discovery. Her father has been
eating veggie burgers for 10
years, and she started eating
them two years ago. Kelley is not
a vegetarian but opts for veggie
burgers instead of hamburgers
because theyre healthier.
I dont avoid eating meat,
but if theres a chance to have
a veggie burger, I always go for
that, Kelley says.
While Kelley says she
likes veggie burgers because
theyre similar to hamburgers,
some vegetarians and vegans
appreciate that the veggie patty
doesnt remind them of the real
one.
I like them because they
dont try to taste too much
like real burgers. That gets old
really fast, Anna Hoard, Topeka
sophomore, says.Theyre things
you can fll a sandwich with from
the microwave or the grill.
Around the same time
that my cheeseburger spree
took place, Cates Mallaney,
Centerville, Ohio senior, went in
the opposite direction.
Mallaney stopped eating
meat when he was 5. Animal
cruelty and health benefts were
factors in his decision to become
a vegan a year ago, he says.
Although Mallaney didnt
originally enjoy veggie burgers,
he now makes his own at home.
Aaron Bart, Lawrence junior,
says he used to eat veggie
burgers but doesnt anymore.
Bart used to be a vegetarian
and is now a vegan.
The aspect of eating meat
in the frst place really puts me
off, Bart says. And the logic
of eating something that is
suppose to mimic it just doesnt
seem right.
For people who enjoy meat
or anyone wary of eating a
veggie burger, Craig Mulanax,
Derby non-traditional student,
recommends Yves The Good
Burger. Mulanax, a vegan, says
its good for those who have
either never eaten veggie
burgers or have had a bad
experience with them.
Mulanax and his parents
have cooked entirely vegan
meals without their dinner
guests knowing. They tell the
truth after everyone has eaten
and most people are surprised,
Mulanax says.
Veggie burgers are also
extremely healthy. If the animal-
rights reason isnt enough,
the amount of protein youll
get and calories youll avoid is
convincing enough to switch, or
at least rotate them into a meal.
Some people become
vegetarians or vegans for a
healthier diet, but they must
make sure to get enough protein.
Mallaney says he eats snacks
like almonds and cashews to
help make up for it and he also
takes a multi-vitamin vegan
supplement call VegLife.
If youre a fan of regular
hamburgers and fear that
the veggie burgers wont
quite please your palette,
condiments to help disguise
the favor. Dousing my meatless
cheeseburger with ketchup,
mustard, dill pickles and Swiss
cheese made my veggie burger
seem like all the other burgers
Id eaten.
So whether youve sworn
off meat for good or just want
something new to try, veggie
burgers might be the healthy
alternative to a fast food
combo.

You have played in countless
online poker games, but you still
feel a tingling sense of excitement
rise through your body as you
look at your cards the king and
queen of clubs. You eagerly bet
your chips, anticipating what the
next cards will be.
Here comes the fopthe jack
of diamonds, six of clubs and 10
of hearts. Your heart beats a little
faster as you raise the pot, hoping
for an ace or nine to complete your
straight draw. You up your ante
and everyone else at the table
folds except for someone with the
screen name Poker4life.
With the turn comes the four of
spades. Tough luck you think, but
there is still one more card to be
dealt.You convince yourself to stay
in in fact, you go all in, hoping to
bluff out the other player. You take
a deep breath, as you await the
river. For a feeting moment you
think the dealer fipped a nine, but
as you blink a couple of times, you
see its only the eight of hearts. A
message pops up on your screen
telling you that youve been
eliminated from this tournament,
but to come play again. Another
$50 down the drain you think to
yourself, but you still cant wait
until tomorrow
night when
youll try your
luck in another
online poker
tournament.
A l t h o u g h
poker has been
around in the
United States
since the 1820s
when French
i mmi g r a n t s
who called the
game poque
brought it to
New Orleans
poker is enjoying resurgence
among Americans, particularly
among college-aged students.
Poker industry estimates are that
50 to 80 million Americans play
the game.
It doesnt take much Internet-
surfngto seethat onlinegamingis
especially popular. Just type in the
word poker into the all-knowing
Google search engine and more
than 200 million
hits will pop
up. There are
more than 1.8
million active
real money
players online
wagering $200
million each
day, according
to PokerPulse.
com, a Canadian
company that
tracks theonline
poker industry.
With this surge
in popularity
comes risks, especially for college
students who can get carried away
with the game by spending too
much time or money to try and
fnd an easy way to get rich quick.
Ryan Hultgren started playing
poker with friends his freshman
year while living in Oliver Hall. The
Spencer, Iowa, junior had always
liked to play cards growing up,
so he thought he would give
poker a try since all of his friends
were playing. Hultgren plays
occasionally on Empirepoker.com
or Pokerstars.com.Ive never been
to a casino. I think Id get eaten
alive, he says.
The main reason online poker
is so popular is its ease of use, says
Thomas Hardy, director of housing
and residence life at Valdosta State
University and previous co-chair of
the Gambling Action Team at the
University of Alabama. It is a rare
collegestudent who does not have
access to a computer and students
today spend hours surfng the
internet looking for things to do,
he says. A casino may be close, but
its much easier to go online, and
this anonymity removes the fear
of making a mistake and everyone
knowing it was you who made it,
Hardy says.
Joey Fine taught himself
to play poker, mainly through
playing online. The Minneapolis
senior tries to play only on big
online tournaments. The nice
thing about tournaments online
is that you can make a big fool
out of yourself and nobody will
ever know who you are, so you
dont really have anything to be
nervous about, he says. Fines
best fnish was winning an online
tournament with 300 people in it.
It was only a $10 entry and he won
$800, he says.
Howto play
David Parlett, game inventor
and historian, classifes poker as a
vyinggame.Its a typeof gambling
game in which stakes are not fxed
in advance, but aregradually raised
until either all but one player drop
out or a showdown occurs, he
explains.
In Texas Holdem, one of the
most popular forms of poker
played today, each player is dealt
two cards face down. This is
followed by a round of betting.
Three community cards, called the
fop, are then placed face up in the
center of the table for everyone to
see. This is followed by a second
round of betting. The fourth and
ffth community cards, called the
turn and river, respectively, are
dealt face up on the table, each
followed by a round of betting.
Players use the two cards in their
hand and the fve community
cards to make the best fve-card
poker hand possible.Various forms
of betting rules can apply, but the
most popular is no-limit betting, in
which a player at any time can go
all in by betting all of his or her
chips.
If all of this doesnt seem
confusing enough, rather than
having each player ante a token
amount, Texas Holdem uses blind
bets, which are posted by the two
players to the left of a rotating
dealer button.With a littlepatience
and a lot of practice, the rules of
the game will become second
nature. Then all you have to do is
learn to win. Sounds easy, right?
You might want to think again.
Skill or luck?
As Kenny Rogers sings in The
Gambler, You have to know when
to holdem, know when to foldem,
know when to walk away, know
when to run. If youve played
poker before, you know how much
these lyrics ring true. Although
poker is largely a game of skill, a
little luck doesnt hurt anybody
either.Thereis no built-in statistical
advantage for any player, says
Scott Golder, researcher at the MIT
Media Laboratory. Every player
over time is just as likely to be
dealt as many good or bad hands
as any other player,he says. Its the
skill a player possesses in terms of
knowing when his or her hand has
the highest likelihood of winning
and betting accordingly. The other
part of your game is deducing
from your opponents behavior
how strongtheir hands are relative
to your own. Being deceptive and
detecting deception in others is a
key aspect to playing poker well,
Golder says.
Kevin has been playing poker
since he was 9 when his grandma
taught him to play. The Topeka
senior says like most other games,
poker has too many intricacies to
completely master, but thats also
what makes it fun.It even becomes
a groupthink game because youre
trying to eliminate as many people
as possible,he says.You and your
playing partners are all thinking
the same thingget ride of this
guy so we get more money.
Predicting future events based
on past ones and reading the
body language of other players
is extremely important if you
want to learn to play with the big
shots. For example, if you know
from experience that a particular
opponent bets high only when
holding a strong hand, you
might be more inclined to fold
your hand when he bets heavily,
Golder says. Body language varies
among players, and is often called
a tell in the poker world. Some
examples of a tell include: fdgety
hands, nervousness, changes in
body posture and anxiety.
However, its hard to read facial
expressions when youre playing
a screen name. Golder says this
is when bluffng becomes an
integral part of the game. The aim
of bluffng is to make people lay
down their cards so you can steal
the pot without actually having a
good hand to back it up. Bluffng
separates those with skill rather
than talent, Golder says. The key
is to know when the best time to
bluff is, because bluffng or folding
too much will only make you
predictable. But, knowing when to
fold your hand may save you more
money.
Michael Jensen, former KU
student and now professional
poker player, coaches KU
students when hes not playing
by teaching them money and
mind management exercises.
You have to have the gamble in
you, he says. There are certain
personality traits that allow you
to put money on the line, Jensen
says. Patience, discipline and
money management skills are also
required to become a good poker
player.
When poker takes over
Playing online poker can start
simply enough. Maybe a friend
in the dorm mentions a favorite
poker site and tells you the site
has a joining bonus of $50, and
you decide to try it out. However,
the next thing you know, youre
spending hundreds of dollars a
week trying to hit it big. More than
70 percent of U.S. adults report
gambling at least once in the past
year, according to The National
Council on Problem Gambling.
Most adults are able to gamble
responsibly, but in a given year,
approximately three million adults
meet the criteria for pathological
gambling. Another 2 to 3 percent
have less signifcant, but still
serious gambling problems and
are known as problem gamblers.
The problem is that poker is
a risk-taking behavior similar to
alcohol and drugs that a lot of
collegestudents chooseto engage
in, says Hardy, the former co-chair
of the Gambling Action Team at
the University of Alabama. Since
it impacts students fnancially
as losses mount, the tendency is
for credit card balances to be run
high, savings to be depleted and in
severe cases theft of money from
friends or family to play the game,
he says. Not all students will
become addicted, but those that
do will be left with big problems
they will need to deal with.
Although most online
tournaments are only $5 or $10
buy-ins, the quickness of the
games allows you to play more in
one day, or even multiple games at
the same time. In most scheduled
online poker tournaments, players
pay at entry fee (buy-in), which
may be anywhere from a less
than a dollar to several thousand
dollars. In most cases, the house
gets 10 percent of what goes to
the prize pool, but in some lower-
cost tournaments, thehousemight
take a higher percentage to cover
operating costs. Jensen says you
need to know when to slow down
and how to set limits for yourself.
You have to be humble when
youre starting out. If youre on
a losing streak, you have to start
playing smaller; otherwise youll
go broke, he says.
Rarely does a day go by when
Mathew Sidarous, Lawrence
senior, doesnt play a game of
online poker. Since his freshman
year, he has won around $3,000
from online tournaments, and he
doesnt plan on quitting there. He
started out playing small $5 buy-
ins at PokerStars.com

Future of Poker
Poker isnt going anywhere
soon. College students can now
play in online tournaments for
scholarshipmoney, liketheCollege
Poker Championship. The CPC is
a free online Texas Holdem no
limit poker tournament open
exclusivelytocollegestudents. Lou
Krieger, host of the tournament
and widely known gambling
expert, says he believes that
colleges are recognizing that to a
large extent, the lessons of poker
arethelessonsoflifeandtheskills
learned at poker, such as dealing
with uncertainty, decision-making
in an environment where all
relevantinformationisnotpresent,
and negotiation skills, all play into
lifeaftercollege.
Krieger says the CPC is
expecting between 35,000 and
40,000studentsthisyear, and
thisyearswinnerwillcomeaway
with approximately $45,000
in scholarships,
plus a signifcant
c o n t r i b u t i o n
to a charity of
the students
choice. What
matters is that
students enjoy
themselves, learn
poker in a risk-
free environment,
extend their
traditional school rivalries into
poker too, and that the winners
come away with a substantial
amount of money to help
underwrite the cost of their
education, hesays.
Although nothing seems
to be slowing down the online
poker phenomenon, it is
transforming the tournament
landscape that had long been
controlled by a relatively small
circuit of professionals with
nameslikeChrisJesusFerguson,
Doyle Texas Dolly Brunson
and Phil Poker Brat Hellmuth.
Online poker is casting a whole
new breed of young, aggressive

Its 11:30 a.m. at Set Em Up
Jacks, 1800 E. 23rd St. The crowd
begins to saunter in, with plenty
of time to grab a prime seat in
front of the projection screen
for the noon Chiefs-Broncos
kickoff. Attendance climbs
toward capacity. Soon, the crowd
resembles a Las Vegas casino
during the NCAA basketball
tournament,with jersey-clad men
and women swilling 25-ounce
beers, yelling at surrounding
television screens and giving
high-fves to complete strangers.
Even though most college
students cant afford NFL tickets,
being around a raucous crowd
gives the game more life. It
makes the highs even higher and
the lows even lower. So what do
students do if they cant make it
to the game? Head to the nearest
sports bar.
Tyler Leiker, Olathe
sophomore, and his pals
frequent Buffalo Wild Wings,
1012 Massachusetts St., on most
Sundays but resort to other bars
if they hear of good specials.We
defnitely pay attention to the
specials, try to save some money,
but in the end theres more
people, a better atmosphere
and more televised games in the
bars.
More games
are televised
n o w a d a y s ,
giving Lawrence
bars an
o p p o r t u n i t y
to draw more
fans, Leiker says.
DirecTVs NFL
Sunday Ticket is
a cable package
that gives sports
bars the ability
to show every
game of the
NFL season. The package costs
commercial establishments up
to $2,349 per year, depending on
maximum occupancy, according
to directv.com, and more if a bar
wants other sports packages
similar to NFL Sunday Ticket,
like NCAA College Gameday for
college football.
With fantasy football leagues
forming, students want to go to a
bar and watch all of their players
performances. Fantasy football
lets fans assemble a virtual
team of individual players and
accumulate points based on the
per f or mances
of their players
each week. Fans
compete with
other fantasy
league members
every week.
D.J.Gumowski,
Chicago senior,
has participated
in fantasy football
leagues in the
past. Going to
a sports bar on
Sundays let him
watch his beloved Chicago Bears
and pay attention to the progress
of his fantasy team.
Fantasy league owners show
up in throngs to watch their
players, says Michael Cuper,
general manager of Buffalo Wild
Wings. We have groups of both
men and women coming in to
watch their players each week,
and the Sunday Ticket is a big
reason for that, he says.
Buffalo Wild Wings and the
Phoggy Dog, 2228 Iowa St., claim
that 50 percent of their patrons
on NFL Sundays are students.
They want to come in, drink
cheap beer, eat and watch their
fantasy players and their favorite
teams, says Scott Newell co-
owner of the Phoggy Dog.
Ricks Place, 846 Illinois St.,
neither serves food nor has the
DirecTV package, so business
doesnt spike on NFL game days.
Without serving food, its hard
to entice kids to get out of the
rack with a hangover and go to
a bar before noon, owner Rick
Younger says. His patrons on
game days are more likely to be
groups of non-students coming
in to watch the Chiefs.
In either case, the NFL regular
season is two weeks away, and
Lawrence sports bars are ready
to tap into student business. Big
beers, buffets, chicken wings and
football loom ahead on Sunday
afternoons, with both sports
bars and students ready to take
advantage of each other.

Brothers from another mother? Illegitimately probably.
Seniors Fred Davis and DeJuan Atway give colorful insight to modern college
problems and issues. Should you care? Good question. Well let you decide.
EBony Ivory
Personally, I have no desire to take steroids or
anything else that might disturb my downstairs
plumbing. As my old buddy once told me,
DeJuan, steroids only affect the water bags not
the water hose. Despite that great advice and
the usual public outrage associated with steroids,
I completely understand why people take them.
The old adage is that steroids make athletes
bigger, faster and stronger, which in turn might
lead them to an incredible pay day in their sports
of choice. Would I take roids if it could get a job
writing a column for the New York Times, ESPN or
Sports Illustrated right out of college? No. Would
I consider it? You damn right I would. You cant
accuse people of cheating by taking steroids,
because guess what there are tons of lying,
cheating, unethical people in the world who have
never stepped foot in a gym. People who take
steroids are just easier to recognize.
Roidin, juicin or whatever you call it, there
is one undeniable fact they work. I work out
quite a bit, and because Im a naturally skinny
dude, I have to take supplements in order to see
any kind of muscle mass gain. Sure, Ive seen
some improvements, but dont think that taking
a cycle of roids hasnt crossed my mind too. I
wanna be a big guy. Most guys that lift do. And
with steroids, youll get big. Just look at my hero,
the greatest action-movie and one-liner actor
of all time, Arnold Schwarznegger. While he only
took them for a short time, hes quick to point out
the advantages steroids have. Hell, Mark McGwire
and Sammy Sosa helped bring baseball back with
every needle in the buttcheek they took to crush
home runs at a record-setting pace.
But, they shrink your testes. Acne sucks,roid
rage is dangerous, but to shrink two of my closest
friends? That protein shake will do just fne.

ILLUSTRATION/ CATHERINE COQUILLETTE
My college career was nearly
over before it began.
During freshman orientation
in 2003, I went on a walk around
campus with two of my closest
friends from high school. The
frst thing we wanted to see was
Memorial Stadium, and the best
view of that campus landmark
comes from the Campanile.
Coming from a southwestern
Kansas town that has no hills
whatsoever, we admired the
view from the top of The Hill.
As I looked down on what
has become one of my favorite
views, I started to walk through
the base of the clock tower.
Just before I passed through
the walkway, one of my friends
stopped me. He had heard of a
tradition that warned against
entering one side and exiting
the other before graduation.
As I learned later, legend
has it that passing completely
through the tower makes
graduating from the University
an impossibility.
Stopped at the last possible
moment, I felt humbled. I felt
lucky that my friend had kept me
from such a disastrous move, but
I also felt overwhelmed by my
tiny presence in such a large, new
world. I was in college and, for the
frst time in my life, I didnt even
know the basics of existence in
my new surroundings.
Three years later, the climate
has changed. Ive taken more
than 30 classes since then, and
Ive learned the things youre
supposed to learn in class. I
know now that journalists are
gatekeepers to information. I
know that Nietzsches writings
were the basis for Superman,
and I know enough French to
buy bread in Paris.
Ive also spent much of the
past three years working on the
school newspaper at various
positions, and Ive learned things
youre supposed to learn when
training for a career. I know what
makes for a good headline, how
to properly label a photo and
that deadlines are the enemy.
More important than those
things, Ive learned lessons
outside of class and away from
the newsroom that I couldnt
have learned anywhere else. I can
to tap a keg and use Enroll & Pay
without becoming completely
homicidal. I know how to end
up in the front row of a game at
Allen Fieldhouse and where to
sleep on campus. Those lessons
started three years ago at the
top of The Hill, and they havent
stopped since.
When my dorm buddy Lindy
lost his battle with a lifelong
illness that I never even knew
he had, I learned to appreciate
the opportunities I was given
on a daily basis and to do it
with a smile on my face. When
I went home to live with my
parents for a summer, I learned
that my family is always rooting
for me, even when school and
work keep me away from them.
And when one of my best
friends, the friend who kept me
from making the Campanile
mistake, lost his father to cancer
a few months ago, I learned a
thousand things. I learned what
it was to be a friend and what it
was to be courageous. I saw real
strength and honest character,
and I learned to be humble all
over again.
No matter how I look at
it, I cant help but think that
everything Ive learned in the
past three years can be traced
back to that one day overlooking
Memorial Stadium.
What I dont know is when I
went from being that freshman-
to-be who couldnt fnd his
frst class to a senior offering
enrollment advice to incoming
freshmen. What I do know is that
Im grateful for everything that
has happened to me, and I still
believe in campus legends. One
of my personal favorites is the
tradition of leaving the campus
in better condition than you
found it. I know Mount Oread
has improved who I am; Im just
hoping that at the end of my
time here, it will be able to say
the same about me.
Just before i passed through the waLkway [of the
CampaniLe], one of my friends stopped me. he had
heard some tradition that warned against entering
one side and exiting the other before graduation.

Snakes on a Plane is a
bottom-of-the-barrel, B movie
thathasbeengiventheattention
ofaHollywoodblockbuster.
The flms main faw is
obvious immediately after its
title appears in the beginning;
the movie is all hype and fails
to be anything with substance.
And the massive marketing
campaign heralding the movie
allsummerwasunabletoinfuse

The plot is ssssilly and can be
completely ssssurmised from
the movie title. However, the
audience is not in the theater
to see any semblance of a plot
or the latest Meryl Streep flm.
Whattheaudiencecomestosee
ismyriadsnakesthatbiteandeat
and spit, and the hero, FBI agent
SamuelL. Jackson, throwingthem
against the wall and getting the
motherfucking snakes off the
motherfuckingplane.
Here, the movie mildly delivers.
Nearly every possible body part
is, at some point, bitten or latched
onto, including numerous that
cannot be mentioned in this

For those who couldnt
get enough of the 22-song
classic Illinois comes The
Avalanche, a collection of
unreleasedmaterialfromthe
Illinois sessions. Featuring
21 songs, The Avalanche
is another release to add
to Sufjan Stevens already
impressivecatalog.
There are a few standout
tracks on the album,
includingthecircus-inspired
Adlai Stevenson, three
versions of Chicago, the
sunny-sounding No Mans
Landandtheukulelefueled
The Mistress Witch From
McClure.
Naturally,TheAvalanche
shares a lot of similarities
with Illinois, including
the quiet folk sound, rich
harmonies and the overuse
of glockenspiel, but the
songs dont really grab
the listeners attention like
Illinois did. However, the
Avalanche is supposed to
be an album of songs that
werent considered good
enough for Illinois, so
maybe the album succeeds
inthatway.
If youre a big Stevens
fanandarecraving21more
songs, then maybe this is
thealbumforyou. Ifyoure
more of a casual Stevens
listener then just stick to
Illinois.
