Maybe it was
just typical teen-
age angst and
boredom, but
during my high
school years I
absolutely hated
living in Kansas.
Tere was never anything fun to do, and I had
difculty fnding people with whom I had much
in common. So when I started getting into old
surf movies my junior year, it was easy for me to
naively dream of picking up and moving to the
beach. Id sit at home and watch movies such as
Endless Summer or Ride the Wild Surf and think
about leaving the plains behind for the coast of
California.
It wasnt just the climate and beautiful, sun-
soaked landscapes that attracted me; I fell in love
with the beach-bum lifestyle and the freedom it
represented. Why would I want to waste my time
in the Midwest when I could just move to the
west coast, live in an old beachside cottage and
spend my days in the sand?
Ten my senior year I got the chance to go
to southern California over spring break with
a school club. I couldnt wait to get out in the
sunshine, explore the beaches and see the life-

style that I wanted for my own. But when
my plane touched down at John Wayne Or-
ange County Airport, thats far from what I
found.
We spent most of the trip waiting in trafc
as we traveled between Anaheim, San Diego
and Los Angeles. Ten on the last day we vis-
ited Huntington Beach. Finally I would get
to see what California was really all about.
But when I hopped of the bus I found what
was essentially a shopping mall on the ocean,
complete with every chain store I could think
of. Where were all the bonfres and parties on
the beach? All I could see were photo-snap-
ping tourists.
Even though the trip burst my bubble
about what California is really like, I dont
regret my days spent dreaming of the beach.
I still try to harbor the easygoing and adven-
turous attitude of the surfers in the movies,
even though I know the world they lived in
wasnt real.
Check out Mias story on page 15 about
her experience seeing the real people and
places behind something she loved. Youll see
that even though we sometimes disillusion
ourselves about things weve never seen, do-
ing so isnt necessarily a waste of time.

Bad news breath: Offending odors can be caused by
plaque bulidup, dry mouth and certain foods.
Weve all experienced trash-can mouth
when your breath gets so stinky you wish
your tongue couldnt taste. But why is it that
sometimes our breath smells less-than-fresh?
Te most common cause of bad breath
is just not cleaning your teeth properly, says
Kelly Miller, dentist at Lawrence Dental
Solutions, 545 Columbia Drive.
Food particles left sitting in your mouth
and tartar and plaque buildup from not
brushing can lead to this putrid predicament.
Dry mouth also causes bad breath. Constant,
lingering bad breath could point to a bigger
problem, though it could be a symptom
of gum disease.
You also better watch what you eat if you
want fresh breath. Certain foods that produce
sulfur-containing gases, such as cabbage,
onions and garlic, cause noxious breath.
If you just cant rid yourself of muck-
mouth, blame your genes. Certain people are
more susceptible to the bacteria that cause bad
breath, Miller says.
To prevent bad breath, dont rely on
mouthwashes they just temporarily mask
good for you/bad for you // WORKING OUT
sometimes its hard to tell.

Night worker: Kyle Sabatini, Topeka junior, works
out when he can at 8 p.m. But can working out at
night be bad for your body?
// KIRSTEN HUDSON
Even though the clock reads 10 p.m., youre
bursting with energy. You head to the rec to work
of some excess steam, but could doing those reps
and sets late at night be bad for you?
Exercising at night is better than not working
out at all, says Rick Sells, owner of the Lawrence
Athletic Club, 3201 Mesa Way. Sometimes its
just about fnding the time to work out. Kyle
Sabatini, Topeka junior, says he usually works out
at night because it fts best with his schedule.
But it might be better for you to head to the

gym in the morning, Sells says. Working out
at night leads to eating late, which can be bad
for you. Exercise increases your metabolism
and burns of carbohydrates in your body.
After about 30 minutes to an hour of
working out, youll get hungry. Working out
in the morning, on the other hand, gets your
metabolism up, which helps burn calories all
day. But if you exercise late then go home
and scarf down a big meal and sit around the
rest of the night, you store up fats and carbs,
which leads to weight gain.
Exercising at night can also keep you
awake longer. Working out kick-starts your
metabolism, which gives you energy. Tat
extra energy will probably keep you lying in
bed, counting sheep an extra few hours after
you would normally go to sleep.
If youre a night owl, dont avoid the
workout altogether, but try heading to the
gym a few hours earlier.
VERDICT: OK, BUT ITS BETTER TO

odors, Miller says. Prescription mouthwashes
can reduce bacteria that cause bad breath, but
most over-the-counter brands wont work. Stick
to daily fossing and brushing (dont forget your
tongue!) and regular dental check-ups to keep
your breath smelling sweet.

Psycho killer: Alfred Htchcocks suspenseful flms from the 1940s, 50s and 60s, such as 1960s iconic psycho-
logical thriller Psycho, have become horror classics.
Photo illustration by Jerry Wang
// SARAH BLUVAS
If youre looking for a great horror fick to
watch in theaters this Halloween, your choices
are severely limited. Sure, Jennifers Body might
boast a half-naked Megan Fox, but why not try
something a little less gimmicky when youre in
the mood for a scare?
Alfred Hitchcock, the legendary British
flmmaker who began making Hollywood flms
in 1939, made more than 50 flms in a career that
spanned six decades. Films such as Rear Window
(1954), Vertigo (1958) and Psycho (1960) earned
him the nickname the King of Suspense, a title
he rightly deserves for all the nail-biting scenes
hes created on flm. True, Hitchcocks flms fall
more into the suspense-thriller category rather
than horror, but his ficks will defnitely leave you
with an unsettling feeling after you watch them.
So rather than shell out $8 for the umpteenth
installment of Saw, choose a Hitchcock flm to
get in the Halloween spirit.
THINGS WILL PROBABLY GET A LITTLE TENSE
Hitchcock had a knack for creating psychological
tension in his flms. In Notorious (1946), for
instance, tension builds between Claude Rains,
who plays a Nazi, and Ingrid Bergman, who plays
his wife, when Rains discovers his wife is spying
on him. Te tension keeps viewers on the edge of
their seat. Its the feeling that the audience knows
TO A GOOD SCARE
Take a break from gore-flled horror flms such as Hostel and
Saw this Halloween season and watch a classic suspense-
thriller from Alfred Hitchcock instead.
something the characters dont, says Kristen
Soper, a Liberty Hall employee who has watched
many of Hitchcocks lesser-known flms.
IF YOURE LOOKING FOR BLOOD AND GUTS,
YOU WONT FIND IT HERE
Hitchcocks flms rely on sophisticated
cinematography rather than unrealistic gore to
shock the viewer. In fact, Hitchcock actually
pioneered many flm innovations, says Ryan
Schirmer, Barrington senior and flm buf who
gravitates toward Hitchcocks technological
suspense. For example, Rope (1948) appears to be
shot entirely in one take but was actually done
in ten, an editing feat for Hitchcock. However,
not all of his flms use complex flm tricks to
create suspense. Something as simple as showing
Norman Bates shadow through a shower curtain
in Psycho (1960) is enough to chill the viewer.
IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU, TOO
In North by Northwest (1959), Cary Grant plays
an advertising executive who goes on the lam after
being mistaken for a government agent. As with
many of Hitchcocks flms, North by Northwest
takes an ordinary character and throws him or
her into extraordinary circumstances. Hitchcock
took ordinary situations like going to a hotel
and makes the story relatable, says Eric Baker,
Derby senior majoring in flm. But somethings
just a bit of. Tats what makes it so creepy.
DONT BE FOOLED BY THE ANTIHERO
Hitchcock also had a knack for creating likable
criminals. We like these psychopaths because
they arent the typical villains; theyre charming
rather than standofsh, and they, like the main
THE HITCHCOCK GUIDE
characters, seem ordinary, says Maggie Allen,
Liberty Halls resident Hitchcock expert. Despite
the murderous tendencies of Robert Walker as
Bruno in Strangers on a Train (1951), for example,
we grow to like the psychotic mamas boy, even
after he kills tennis star Guy Haines wife and
threatens to frame Haines for the murder.
Jp
THE 39 STEPS (1935)
Whats it about?
Man meets woman. Woman is being hunted by
secret agents. Woman is murdered. Man is accused
of murdering woman by mysterious blonde and
must go on the run across Scotland.
Why should you watch it?
One of Hitchcocks early British flms, Te 39
Steps had a lot of flm noir elements before flm
noir was any good, says Maggie Allen, Liberty
Hall's resident Hitchcock expert. Te mysterious
characters and the shadowy atmosphere add to
the suspense in this thriller, which was named
fourth on the British Film Institutes poll of best
British flms in 1999.
SHADOW OF A DOUBT (1943)
Whats it about?
When her Uncle Charlie comes to visit,
Charlotte Charlie Newton, played by Teresa
Wright, discovers he may not be the man he
says he is.
Why should you watch it?
Made during World War II, Shadow of a Doubt
contradicted ideas of evil, turning them into
something ordinary. People had this idea that
evil was something faraway during World War
II, says Eric Baker, Derby senior majoring in
flm. But Hitchcock shows that theres still evil
here at home.
STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (1951)
Whats it about?
Guy Haines meets Bruno Anthony on a train
from Washington, D.C., to New York, and each
agrees to swap crimes: Bruno will kill Guys wife,
Guy will kill Brunos father and both men will
walk away clean. Stepping of the train in New
York, Guy never dreams that Bruno will take him
seriously.
Why should you watch it?
Like Shadow of a Doubt and other Hitchcock flms,
Strangers on a Train presents twisted characters in
a normal setting. Guy Haines, played by Farley
Granger, is just a wrongly accused man trying to
prove his innocence while trying to fght a mad
man, says Ryan Schirmer, Barrington senior.
THE BIRDS (1963)
Whats it about?
A quiet weekend in a small coastal California
town turns into a frenzy as swarms of birds
attack the townspeople for no reason at all.
Why should you watch it?
One of Hitchcocks most famous flms, Te Birds
is actually more complex than it looks, Baker
says. If you were to read the plot description,
the flm wouldnt seem like much; however,
Hitchcock manages to take something that no
one would think is scary birds and make
a truly terrifying flm.
Now that you know more about Hitchcocks films, try one of these
suggestions from students and Liberty Hall employees.

Sitting in her bedroom, this years National
American Miss Kansas squeezes her 511 frame
onto her twin-sized bed. Her short brown hair
is pulled back from her makeupless face as she
brings her long legs up to her sororitys gray
homecoming T-shirt. Brooke Burns, Wichita
junior, isnt your typical pageant princess. Shes
not a 100-pound blonde stereotype of a beauty
queen and she doesnt go on strict cottage-cheese
diets before pageants. Shes a girl who eats three
pieces of pizza for lunch and keeps a candy jar of
Starbursts on her shelf.
Beauty pageant contestants commonly
evoke ideas of perma press smiles and sequined
sashes, but these competitions have evolved into
scholarship opportunities, role model campaigns
and events that stress the importance of
community service. Unlike the Miss America and
Miss USA competitions, which focus primarily on
talent and facial beauty, National American Miss
mission statement describes the competition as an
opportunity dedicated to celebrating Americas
greatness and encouraging its future leaders.
Burns describes the pageant like a job interview,
focusing on communication and personality
instead of swimsuit and talent competitions. Te
National American Miss competition includes a
30-second personal introduction, an interview
and a formalwear competition, and also ofers
optional divisions such as spokesmodel, which
Burns will compete in this year.
Burns frst began participating in pageants in
the junior teen division of National American
Miss as a gangly 14-year-old. She says she liked the
idea of boosting her self-esteem by being around
other girls who were also fnding themselves. I
did that one and I was hooked. Its my anti-drug,
she says.
After successful runs in the junior teen and
teen divisions, this year Burns was invited to
apply for the national competition in the miss
category. After sending in a picture, three essays
and a resume, she left for a study abroad program
in France for the summer. On her third day in
France she received a phone call from her mother,
Dee, and sister, Jordan, who told her that she
had been selected as Miss Kansas and would
represent the state in the National American Miss
competition. I was crying and screaming in this
Pageant devotion: Brooke Burns, Wichita junior, is National American Miss Kansas and devotes hours of her time
to preparing speeches for pageants, shopping for formal dresses and volunteering in the hope of representing
her title well. Burns says she isnt the stereotypical beauty queen but that being in pageants has boosted her self
confdence over the years.

How one beauty queen balances pageant and student life
random hotel in Paris, Burns says.
Since arriving back in the states, Burns says
the stress has been constant. Aside from being
a political science major, she devotes time to
practicing interviews, shopping for a formalwear
dress and memorizing her personal introduction
speech. She sacrifces football Saturdays when she
travels home every other weekend to prepare, but
says the commitment is worth it.
Burns mother says the competitions have
helped her daughter embrace her height by
learning poise and self-confdence. I want this to
be one of the best experiences of her life, she says.
Dee helps her daughter by practicing interviews,
giving feedback on dresses and playing therapist
during panic-stricken phone calls. Burns says her
mom is her team during competitions.
For the most part Burns says that people are
supportive, asking for autographs or thanking
her for representing Kansas. Burns meets the
public when making appearances or doing
community service work. National American
Miss competitors are required to complete fve
hours of community service before the national
pageant over Tanksgiving. Burns has decided to
participate in a tree-planting event on October 24
to promote the competitions emphasis on going
green.
When shes not adorned in her tiara and sash,
Burns enjoys spending time as a student, but she
understands the weight of her title and infuence.
I cant have people saying shes Miss Kansas and
shes belligerently drunk in the bar. Tat doesnt
look good on me or National American Miss,
she says.
Although Burns loves the role model aspect of
the competition, make no mistake that she is a
competitor. Stacked away on her shelf are DVDs
of past competitions, which she watches and
critiques before she goes to sleep at night. She lies
in bed visualizing her name being called as the
next National American Miss, and driving away
in the 2009 Ford Mustang that comes as one of
the many prizes.
Im not just going to experience it, she says.
Im going to win the crown.

On a Tursday night at Abe and Jakes, the loud
music pumps through my body as I sip my vodka
cranberry. Te usual crowd of girls in stilettos
and polo-clad guys packs the room, dancing and
chatting. But as I turn around and walk away
from the bar, something catches my eye and I no
longer feel like Im at a club. It looks more like a
scene straight out of the bedroom.
A girl in a short black dress slinks toward a guy
sitting by himself on a bench and climbs onto his
lap, straddling him. Tey start ferociously making
out. As they grind on each other, her dress rides
up, showing of her thong and butt cheeks to the
entire club. Neither one seem to notice or care.
I dont mind a little PDA, but dry sex on a
bench goes a little far.
PDA, or public display of afection, doesnt
always resemble dry sex. Handholding, an arm
around your signifcant other, a quick peck, a
hug these manifestations of afection all count
as PDA if done where others can see. But some
types of PDA are more sexual than others. When
getting afectionate, how much is too much?

* THEN AND NOW *

Blatant PDA wasnt always so commonplace. In
the early 20th century the only public displays of
afection were related to prostitution, says Jefrey
Moran, associate professor of history. Until the
sexual revolution in the late 1960s, displays of
afection remained in the privacy of the bedroom.
In the 1960s, couples may have enjoyed some
tonguing on Wescoe Beach but it was more as a
political statement in protest of a century of sexual
repression than everyday behavior.
Since then PDA has slowly become more
mainstream, particularly gaining acceptability in
the 1980s. You no longer had chaperones going
around the high school dance separating couples
with rulers, Moran says.
Today a bit of PDA and sometimes more
than just a bit is generally tolerated.
Allison Decker, Olathe sophomore, says that
even though she only holds hands in public,
she saw couples groping each other and full-on
making out in the halls of her high school. But
horny highschoolers arent the only ones getting
their PDA on.
* BUMP AND GRIND *

Te sex-charged atmospheres of nightclubs
make PDA feel sexy and forbidden especially
after downing a few drinks.
Places such as clubs or bars are swarming with
singles and will break down peoples inhibitions.
People will care less if theres a couple mackin
all over each other at certain social venues, says
Grant Wood, licensed clinical marriage therapist
at the Resonate Relationship Clinic in Overland
Park.
When a couple of beers and a few shots of
tequila get people feeling frisky, clubgoers can
generally expect to witness some PDA. Bars are
all about PDA. People go to bars in a college town
in order to get ready to have sex or hopefully fnd
someone to have sex with, says Koren Binns,
Overland Park senior.
People go out not only to meet others, but also
to shake their money-makers.
Dancing itself can be a form of PDA. With
couples groping each other to the beat and guys
running their hands up girls skirts, the dance
foor is defnitely a PDA hot spot, says Ali
Blakeborough, Andover junior.
When considering PDA you should always take
your cue from the environment not all places
are so open to PDA, says Caroline Tiger, author

of How to Behave: Dating and Sex. Obviously if
youre at a fancy restaurant with white tablecloths
and stufy waiters, youre not going to throw your
boyfriend down on the table, she says.
PDA on campus is a defnite no-no. Crystal
Pedram, Lawrence junior, hates seeing couples
performing their own anatomy lesson in the
balcony of Budig 120. She wants to pay attention
to the lecture, not get distracted by their hanky
panky.
Sitting on your boyfriends lap while riding
the bus is also not OK. Snuggling up with your
signifcant other in the back of the bus might be fun
for you, but it can annoy your fellow passengers.
Its not a couch, says Anne Robertson, Andover
junior.

* GET A ROOM *

Excessive PDA can defnitely make strangers
feel awkward, but it could also afect your
relationships with friends.
PDA can alienate your friends not just because
they fnd it gross, but also because it upsets them.
Lonely people who long for closeness may feel
hurt when their friends faunt their relationship
through extreme PDA, says Grant Wood, a
marriage therapist.
Watching your friends intimate PDA creates
the same awkward feeling of witnessing a couples
heated argument, says Paul Anderson, licensed
counseling psychologist at Anderson and Anderson
in Overland Park.
Its always weird when you turn around and
your friends are making out with each other
on the stripper pole at Te Hawk, says Megan
Gillies, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore.
When your friends tongue is in a girls mouth
it makes everyone else feel awkward, says Javon
Shackelford, Salina freshman. But you cant ask
them to stop because that adds another layer of
uncomfortableness, he says.

* TERMS OF ENDEARMENT *
Physical PDA isnt the only way to gross
out your friends. Verbal PDA can get just as
obnoxious. But for couples, using romantic
nicknames such as babe and hun shows
fondness for your partner.
Allison Decker, Olathe sophomore, likes to call
her boyfriend love, and he calls her sweets.
Using lovey language makes their relationship feel
more intimate, she says.
Its no coincidence that we call each other
nicknames related to food. Wood says that says
that using pet names like sweetie, honey
and pumpkin evoke images of goodness or
sweetness. Teyre just one of the little ways we
subconsciously try to show each other how we
feel, Wood says.
Not everyone fnds pet names so sweet though.
Calling your man snookums in front of his
buddies might evoke the gag refex. Matthew
Crooks, Stillwell senior, doesnt like using pet
names. Tey have a name for a reason. Just use
it, he says.
When it comes to expressing your feelings for
someone in public, its all about fnding balance.
Your fellow partiers might appreciate it if you
limit the verbal PDA and keep the physical stuf
PG-13. Or just get a room already.

Giving your sugar a little honey: Public displays of affection can be a manifestation of a healthy, affectionate
relationship. The trick is to fnd the right balance.
WHAT YOUR PDA
SAYS ABOUT YOU
As you swivel around on a bar stool to
make out with your boyfriend at Brothers,
you could unknowingly be giving away
clues about your relationship. See which
of the three couples below fit you and
your honey.

THE NEEDY COUPLE

Couples in constant lip lock who
cant keep their paws off of each other
might actually be having issues in
their relationship, says Grant Wood,
licensed clinical marriage therapist
at the Resonate Relationship Clinic in
Overland Park. Excessive PDA could
reflect insecurities in a relationship that
needs touch to keep it alive.
Body language cues can give away a
needy couple. When couples dont walk
in step with each other it could represent
inequality in the relationship, says Patti
Wood, body language expert in Atlanta.
If one person pulls ahead of the other it
shows that they see themselves as more
important while one person getting
dragged behind the other reveals an
unhealthy dependency on the other
person.
Another cue that shows inequality is
when a guy rests his arm around a girls
back. He doesnt hold her hand; he just
puts his arm around her. Guys sometimes
do this to show ownership. Its more
about possession than affection, Patti
Wood says.
If a girl grips her man tightly,
practically impaling her fingers on his
side, it shows that she wants control. It
could mean shes afraid hes not going to
be faithful to her, Patti Wood says.

THE HEALTHY COUPLE

A healthy amount of PDA implies
strength in a relationship. Couples
who feel comfortable with each other
understand what the other considers
acceptable PDA.
Healthy couples give away their
affection for each other by unconsciously
doing the V position, Patti Wood says.
They face each other slightly with their
inside feet facing their significant other
to form a V. Couples usually do this
while chatting with other people.
Couples in healthy relationships
also simply touch each other but
not excessively. Actions such as a hand
on her back or around her waist while
she rests her hand on his hip reveal a
couples ease with each other.
You can also spot healthy
relationships by looking for mirroring.
Couples who match each others
movements, such as leaning towards
each other while talking, are showing
affection for each other.

THE HANDS-OFF COUPLE

Normal PDA also just depends
on the couple. Some people live
their lives out loud and others just
dont, says Paul Anderson, licensed
counseling psychologist at Anderson
and Anderson in Overland Park.
When it gets to the point that the
couple is completely polarized, when
theyre doing things such as sitting
on completely opposite ends of the
couch, thats when there might be a
problem.
Koren Binns, Overland Park senior,
says she and her boyfriend just arent
touchy-feely people. They wont
even hold hands while shopping.
When theyre out, theyre out to get
something done. Theres always time
for affection when you get home, she
says.

PRE-PDA:
WHEN TO PROCEED,
WHEN TO BACK OFF


If youre on a first date or have just
met someone, how do you know if
theyre into you? Check out their
body language to decide whether
to back off or move forward.

GOOD CLUES:
The most telling portion of the
body is from the waist down, says
Patti Wood, body language expert at
Communication Dynamics in Atlanta. If
your crushs feet point your way, even
when standing across the room, he or
she may be into you. Where the feet
point the heart follows, Wood says.
Also check to see if the person looks
relaxed. If youre sitting at a table and
your crush is resting his hands on the
table toward you, hes symbolically
reaching out to you.

BAD CLUES:
Any tension in the body is a bad
sign. Crossed arms or hands could
mean back off. Also, if the persons
head is pointed down and away it
shows that he or she doesnt want to
be talking to you, even if the person
sounds friendly.
When first meeting someone, you
should probably keep the PDA to a
minimum handholding at the most,
says Caroline Tiger, author of How to
Behave: Dating and Sex.
If your date gets grabby, give him or
her obvious hints that the PDA is not ok.
If he goes in for the French kiss, give
him the cheek; if she puts her hand in
a place you dont want, remove it. Its
a good tactic for weeding people out,
Tiger says.

how we met // SHANE NICKELS AND DHYANA COIL
all great relationships had to start somewhere.
From across the room at a party, Shane
Nickels, Hutchinson graduate student, saw the
girl he was told to never go near. His friends
said she was a tease and if he chose to talk to her,
hed be making a mistake. All of their warnings
were simply forgotten when Nickels and the
mysterious girl, Dhyana Coil, 2008 graduate,
instantly clicked.
Coil went to the party that night with no
intention of meeting anyone. I was feeling
pretty jaded about love during the time when
I met him as a result of being hurt a lot in the
past, Coil says. I began to treat relationships
like more of a game and a power play and be
much more closed of.
But Nickels knew that there was something
more to Coil and pursued her by asking her for
a date at a hookah bar.
Te relationship seemed permanent the
night KU won the championship. She had
to work late and could only check up on the
game on her computer. While she was slaving
away at work, she misunderstood Nickels and
thought she wasnt invited to join him and his
friends after the game and then his phone
died. So he ran about 20 blocks across town to

Favorite food?
Sushi!
What is a major turn of?
Conceitedness. People who are overly preten-
tious tend to make me feel uncomfortable.
I went on a date once with this guy that just
wanted to go on and on about himself. Im sure
he was just trying to convince me that he was
smart, but I just felt like he was more interested
in talking about himself than talking to me.
Major turn on?
Intelligence. Im attracted to people that I could
potentially learn lots of interesting information
from.
Whats the frst thing you notice about
someone?
What kind of energy that person gives of, and
how he or she must be feeling at the moment.
Dream job?
Im going to school so I can make my dream
job come true! Im going to teach students with
disabilities.
Where do you like to get away?
When Im stressed out I just like to retreat to my
bedroom, pet my kitten and put my abnormal
energies into some song writing.

of relationship advice, one weekly Jayplay column at a time

*THE OPINIONS OF THIS COLUMNIST DO NOT NECESSAR-
ILY REFLECT THE VIEWS OF JAYPLAY. KANSAS IN HEAT IS
NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFES-
SIONAL HELP.
Mike Anderson, Dellwood, Minn., graduate stu-
dent, is the host of Kansas in Heat, a talk show
about sex and relationships that airs Wednes-
days at 8 p.m. on KJHK, 90.7fm and at kjhk.org.
Q: Ive had a crush on this girl who Ive been
working with for two months now. She is very
personable but kind of shy. Strangely however, I
heard that she has been on numerous dates but
rarely calls the guys back. I really want to ask her
out and show her a good time. Do you have any
ideas that might separate me from the other guys?
Do you have any good date ideas that would seem
to wow this serial dater?
A: As Will Smith once so eloquently put it in the
movie Hitch, No matter what, no matter when,
no matter who, any man has a chance to sweep
any woman of her feet; he just needs the right
broom.
Unfortunately for a lot of us, fnding the right
broom is sometimes a difcult process. What
works for one man or woman wont always work
for another. I do believe however that some uni-
versal qualities of attractiveness do exist. In the
past Ive talked about how important confdence
is, but in this article I want to talk about the im-
portance of using humor in dating. Since 1958
studies have consistently shown that college stu-
dents fnd a sense of humor to be crucial in a dat-
ing partner. Humor is one of the frst qualities
listed in personal advertisements found in maga-
zines, newspapers and online dating sites.
Humor is a major turn on for both sexes. Not
only has it been found to be a major component
of initial attraction, but studies have shown
it actually becomes more important to both
men and women as the level of commitment in
relationships increases. It doesnt matter if you
fnd yourself unattractive or gorgeous, using
humor will make you look both sexier and less
intimidating. If your date is showing signs of
nervousness, using self-deprecating humor is a
great way to reduce tension and build rapport.
If you dont think of yourself as a very humorous
person, try to construct dates that could end up
being humorous. Allow the situation to create the
humor. Being involved in humorous situations
will always help break the ice and reduce tension
in those frst and second dates. Im not saying you
necessarily need to go to an improv-comedy show,
but just try to avoid dates that involve a lot of
tension. For example, dinner at a fne restaurant
can often times be stufy and nerve-racking.
Instead invite your date to try something new.
Take a personal class with your date and learn to
dance, surf, do pottery, whatever you think your
date will like. Tink back to all those episodes
of Blind Date youve seen. Try more action dates
such as hiking or biking. If all that fails then go
straight to the karaoke that always makes for a
great time. Anyone who is willing to sing karaoke
whether theyre good or bad probably has a
great sense of humor.
By using humor you are increasing your
likelihood of being desired. So many people
focus on looks and grooming. We care so deeply
about the car we drive and the designer clothes
we wear, but the truth about attraction is that
things such as confdence and humor are much
more universal than clothes and cars will ever be.
Forget the standard dinner-and-a-movie date and
use your imagination. Be sure to have fun and
always have a great sense of humor.

essential life skills // GETTING RID OF BAD
BREATH

Bad breath. Its the one thing that can
lead to frst dates never calling back, friends
distancing themselves and losing that
internship at the interview stage. While
people may not necessarily care if your breath
is minty-fresh, they certainly will if it seems
like there is a carcass inside your mouth.
If you are a smoker or a garlic appreciator,
you will most certainly have to deal with
halitosis, the scientifc name for bad breath.
Brushing your teeth and using mouthwash
are ways to refreshen your breath but if you
really want to get rid of the problem, fossing
is the way to go, says Shirley Morriss, a
dental assistant at Wilkerson, Saunders and
Anderson, 831 Vermont St. Flossing reaches
and cleans those areas where food accumulates
and bacteria thrive. Also, make sure to clean
your tongue, another hotspot for stinky
bacteria.
If its an emergency, chewing some gum
may do the trick. But you shouldnt rely on
it. Gum will just cover the bad breath and not
address the root of the problem, Morriss says.
If you diligently clean your teeth and mouth
and people are still keeping their distance,
your best bet is stopping by the dentist. Te

Te frst gameday this football season,
Emilio Breyer had a rockin party at his house
near the student ghetto. It had all the elements
of a successful party: a band, tons of people he
didnt know and two visits from the cops.
Luckily, Breyer, Overland Park senior, and
his housemates didnt receive the $250 fne
they should have for receiving multiple noise
complaints in one evening. Perhaps they
escaped the fne because they lied about
receiving the frst warning, but Breyer
attributes their good fortune to the level of
respect they showed the police.

Lawrence cops dont really care, he says.

Te ofcers are used to dealing with people

As long as you tell everyone who you dont

MANUAL
in the life of ... // A STOCKBROKER
living vicariously through others is ok with us.
Take whatever you think you know about
stockbrokers and throw it out the window, says
Scott Kaufmann, 1983 graduate and fnancial
adviser for Edward Jones Investments.
First of all, stockbrokers dont really exist
anymore. Te correct term is fnancial adviser
because professionals help customers manage all
fnancial assets, not just stocks and bonds.
Although Kaufmann graduated summa cum
laude, apparently you dont have to be all that
bright to become a fnancial adviser. Te smart
business students get their MBAs, become
investment bankers and make a lot more money
than fnancial advisers, Kaufmann says.
Most people in my industry, you would be
surprised how low their GPA was, he says. It
doesnt tend to attract straight-A students.
And fnancial advisers usually dont work in
skyscrapers, wildly running around like Wall
Street stockbrokers portrayed in movies, he says.
Kaufmann is the only adviser who works at his
Edward Jones branch, which is located in an
old shopping center at the edge of Kansas City,
Kan. Big buildings located downtown are not
conducive to meeting with clients.
Finally, most stockbrokers are not sleazy,
greedy scumbags who are out to steal your
money. Independent auditing companies have

He and his wife take a few trips across the

up to that standard of living. When he frst

SPENCER PRINTROOM
Fridays in the printroom at the Spencer
Museum of Art are all about you. From 10
a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., you can
visit the printroom and request to see the
original copy of any photograph, drawing,
lithograph or other type of the 14,000 works
on print the museum owns.
Part of the reason to put them away is to
keep them nice, says Kate Meyer, curatorial
assistant of prints and drawings, about the
prints. Part of the reason for Fridays is that
they dont do anybody any good if you dont
get them out.
Te only rules are no gum and no pens.
Only pencils are allowed in the land of paper.
Located just past the gift shop if you take a
left at the main entrance, the printroom is easy
to overlook. It looks like an ofce area, quite
unlike the galleries meant for viewing art.
Waiting for you in the printroom is Meyer,
Luke Jordan, lecturer of design, and maybe
a few artsy graduate students who enjoy
shooting the breeze about art with anyone
who will listen.
You can search the museums art collection
online before your trip to fgure out what type
and era of prints fascinate you, or you can just
stop by. Meyers knowledge about printmaking
is as eclectic as the museums collection.
She can tell you what the meaning of fruit is
in diferent prints based on the culture and era,
why artists use pseudonyms and how a print can
still be an original, even if it is one of 50 copies.
Meyer will spend hours telling you anything
you want to know or anything she thinks you
should know about the prints because, as she
says, Fridays are about you.

movie review //
// ABBY OLCESE
Zombies are great. Self-aware parodies,
too, are great. Movies involving long jour-
neys, solid action sequences and at least one
badass character who is always ready with
quips? Yeah, theyre pretty awesome, too. One
might think a movie that included all of these
elements would be just grand, right? Well, yes
and no.
Te movie that puts all of these bits into
the blender and whirs it up in a bloody, gory
mass is Zombieland. Parts of it work really
well, such as Woody Harrelsons battle-scarred
butt-kicker Tallahassee. Hes funny, tough,
quirky and just a teensy bit vulnerable. Jesse
Eisenberg does pretty much what he does best
as Columbus, the movies nervous, germapho-
bic, rules-conscious narrator.
Other parts ... well, lets just say Zombie-
land isnt a perfectly blended smoothie. Tere
are chunks. Big ones.
Te writing is really clumsy at times. Te
characters arent very strongly established, so
pre-existing relationships seem weak, and de-

music review //
Zebra. Noun. An animal. Now, looking
at that defnition, you have just as much of an
idea of where this album is coming from as Karl
Blau did. In the frst two tracks, you get acid jazz,
folk rock, electronica and psychedelia, crammed
into just a hair more than six minutes. All of
that music in such a short space makes it hard
to not only fnd the focus of an album, but the
big picture is blurry as well. Tough this album
doesnt demand your attention, it somehow
draws you in. It doesnt grab you by the shoulders
and throw you straight into Blaus world of of-
kilter sanity, but instead it takes your hand and
graciously invites you in.
All of the tracks have a comforting, thick bass
line which walks around Blaus friendly voice and
makes it easy to get lost in his defnition of an
album. Te underlying power of all of this music
is that its very lo-f, but feels so polished and
smooth. All of the diferent styles and feelings
combine in a way that seems simple, but is
actually quite complicated. It seems as if Blau is
asking the eternal question is a zebra black
with white stripes or white with black stripes? It
appears that Blaus Zebra is both.
While the stripes of this record are very
diferent, very black and white, the stark
Hollywood hits, indie ficks and everything in between.

diferences found in the songs are so intrinsic
to the album that you couldnt imagine it any
other way.

to no background is given on any of the movies
characters, which makes it even harder to care
about them.
Tis movie is super-stylish. It looks sharp and
fashy, which was probably the goal. But it just
feels like the writers had a great idea, thought
it would make a neat movie, and churned out
a script without much actual consideration for
what happened beyond basic plot points or fun-
ny vignettes. Zombieland has its moments, but
for the most part it just feels pardon the pun
dead.

// MIA IVERSON
For about the past 15 years, Ive dedicated a big
portion of my free time to following, discussing
and analyzing the trials and tribulations of the
doctors, nurses and support staf at County
General Hospital in Chicago. I was in love with
ER.
Growing up, I wanted Dr. Greens work ethic,
Nurse Hathaways gumption, Dr. Bentons
smooth surgical skills and Dr. Lewis outlook on
life. In middle school, I swooned over Dr. Kovacs
accent, tried to embody Abbys courage and wept
over the death of Dr. Green. Ten high school
came. I admired Neelas intelligence, was bafed
by Rays rocker aura and tried to wrap my mind
around the various economic, political and social
issues concerning health care. Ten college.
I knew ER wouldnt last forever; its ratings
were slipping and the whispers of cancellation
foated upon the pages of my TV Guides and
Entertainment Weeklys. If I had any chance of
taking part in the world of ER, I knew I had to
act fast.
First it was talk of me going to California,
storming Warner Bros. and waltzing onto the
hallowed ER set. But the idea grew, and soon I
asked myself, Why not?
After securing a travel buddy (one of my best
friends, Katie), I found myself in Burbank, Calif.,
in January 2009, during winter break. ER would
end in three months and I was there before its
departure.
Te wind of luck swept my way. Not only did
we snag the only tickets to the highly coveted
fve-hour tour of the Warner Bros. back lots, but
ER happened to be flming that day, too.
Tat was when I frst started to freak out. ER
was flming and I was there. ER was flming,
which meant actors were present and I was there.
ER was flming, my heroes were just around the
corner, my friend and I were the only ones on
the tour, and I was there, moments away from a
dream come true. Shit!
Katie and I shared anxious glances as the tour
guide drove us past Central Perk and by where
Annie and her gang sang Its a Hard Knock Life.
We passed a line of aspiring extras and got a wave
from Charlie Sheen. Keeping one eye on the road,
the tour guide turned to us and said to get ready.
I stopped breathing and I felt my heart trying to
escape from my chest.
Tere it was, the grand view of County
General. I looked past the directors tent, make-
up chairs and a giant fan (for fake snow) and my
eyes fell upon Dr. Brenner huddled in his winter
coat, acting out a scene I wouldnt see for at least
a month. I imagined myself running across the
street on a snowy Chicago day and giving Dr.

dramas, she instead found a world of green-screened skylines and potato-peel snow.
Brenner a big fat hug, but then as I watched, I
slowly began to realize that only a few feet away
from me wasnt Dr. Brenner. It was in fact David
Lyons, a real person, acting out scripted lines.
Te tour guide began to ramble of ER trivia
I already knew by heart and quickly I surveyed
my surroundings. I let my eyes wander up the
stairs that led to the El platform and realized no
train could come through there. A line of cars
made loops around the set to create a trafc scene
and the fan blew potato peelings over the actors
to create a light snow. I looked up expecting to
see the snowy, bustling Chicago skyline. All I saw
was an expanse of the sunny California blue sky.
I tuned back to the tour guide as he explained
that everything above the El tracks is green-
screened to create the iconic Chicago skyline.
My mood shifted from crazy ecstatic to slightly
annoyed, as if the powers that be had personally
tricked me all these years. To add to this, I learned
that all the famous rooftop scenes were flmed
in an abandoned parking lot with green screens
encircling it. I didnt want to know anymore,
because in my mind the people of ER went up
to that roof. Tat roof served as an escape. Lucy
threw of dollar bills to give to the homeless and
Carter took up a paralyzed boy to throw paper
airplanes.
Noticing my change in mood, the tour guide
playfully ordered Scott Grimes (Dr. Archie
Morris) to come over and talk to us. My spirits
lifted instantly. As he walked to where we were
standing, I frantically tried to think of something
smart or witty to say. I came up with a high-
pitched, giggle-induced, Hi! He laughed. I
ended up talking his ears of as Katie stood behind
me, speechless. He jokingly asked her if she was a
Greys Anatomy fan, which she is, and guilt faced,
Katie turned beet red. Here he was, Dr. Archie
Morris in the fesh, talking to me, an ER fan from
Texas. All these years I hoped and dreamed this
day would come because growing up, ER was the
one constant in my life. Archie Morris, I mean
Scott Grimes, was talking to me!
After his departure, we were escorted to stage
11 the recently dedicated ER Stage. I strolled
the hallways, took a quick lap around trauma 1,
and took a picture at the admit desk and in the
staf lounge. I found the elevators and ventured
toward the stairs that would lead to the rest of the
hospital but only found a dead end. Te stairs led
to a small wooden platform overlooking the stage.
It wasnt the ER I knew.
Four months later, I curled up on a couch to
watch the series fnale. I looked back at my amazing
experience and couldnt believe I accomplished
something I had only dreamed of. But as the last
scene began to unfold and the camera began its
slow zooming out of County General, I shut out
the memories of my visit. Instead, as the El tracks
entered the screen and a train raced by against a
Chicago night, I allowed myself one last time to
revel in the existence of ER.
A dose of reality in the ER
