Downtown Lawrence ofers
blend of tradition, shopping
see nuisance on page 4D
downtown
By nicole kelley
If you take a stroll down Massa-
chusetts Street, its not uncommon to
run across a large array of interesting
activities taking place. From someone
playing a saxophone on the corner, to a
group of teenagers playing hacky sack on
the sidewalk, to a family out and about
doing their shopping, the downtown
Lawrence area never fails to provide a
strong sense of community.
Te downtown atmosphere is one of
the most unique aspects of Lawrence.
Te city has preserved this historical
area and made it one of the places people
take the most pride in and love most
about Lawrence. Kelli Martin, Pratt
sophomore, said her favorite thing to do
downtown is just walk up and down the
street with friends after a nice dinner.
Te whole environment is relaxing
and everyones always friendly,she said.
Almost anything a person needs
could be found downtown, including
places to eat and shops and art galleries
to see.
Restaurants
Te restaurants that are found down-
town range from ethnic Tai and His-
panic foods to good old American bar-
becue and hamburgers.
Matt Toplikar, KU graduate, said
downtown provided a great date atmo-
sphere because of all the restaurants. He
suggested getting some dinner and then
going to see a movie at Liberty Hall, 642
Massachusetts St.
For me its really kind of what makes
Lawrence special. Otherwise I think
Lawrence would be just like a lot of
other towns,he said.
A lot of the restaurants that are found
downtown are locally owned, which
gives the community a special feeling.
Te city has been able to keep a lot of
the big-name commercial businesses
out of the area as a way to preserve its
remarkable history.
shopping
Shopping downtown is a big attrac-
tion for most people. Whether youre in
the market for clothing,antiques,jewelry
or books,the stores downtown have it all.
One of the qualities that make shopping
downtown a fun experience is the open
and free environment of each individual
store.
I think they like downtown the most
because its not inside and when its nice
outside they can walk up and down the
sidewalk and go from store to store,said
Mindy Burton, employee of Jocks Nitch
Sporting Goods, 837 Massachusetts St.
On Tursday nights many of the
stores stay open later until 8 p.m. Burton
said this was nice because it would give
families an opportunity to shop together
after work.
Culture
Te city of Lawrence is known for its
relaxed, laid-back artistic attitude. Te
center of a lot of this activity is the down-
town area and its many art galleries.
Sheila Wilkins, manager of Fields
Gallery, 712 Massachusetts St., said her
shop had been a part of the community
for more than 40 years. She said a store
like her gallery gives local and regional
artists a place to display their original
artwork.
Four Fridays a year, the downtown
area plays hots to a gallery walk. Tis
event is free to the community and al-
lows people to come together and cel-
ebrate the arts in Lawrence. About 12
galleries stay open later than normal
business hours so participants can walk
to each one and see special exhibitions
and demonstrations by the local artists.

tradition
things to Do
BefoRe leaVing KU
attend a Ku mens
basketball game
For Kansas faithful, basketball is
a religion, and each game is anoth-
er opportunity to worship crimson
and blue. And no section is row-
dier, more passionate or more loyal
than the students section of a home
game. Don the KU colors, make
your ESPN sign, take advantage of
your years with a valid KUID and
get out to a game.
sled down Campanile Hill
Wait for those inevitable
mid-January snow or ice storms.
If youre lucky enough that the
University shuts down and can-
cels classes, round up your trash
can lids, cookie sheets or actual
sleds and head for the hills on
campus. Te Campanile hill or
the hill behind JRP are perfect
for sledding.
Play in the Chi omega
Fountain
Located at the intersection of
West Campus Road and Jayhawk
Boulevard, the Chi Omega foun-
tain is the best KU spot to kick of
your sandals, roll up your jeans and
splash around like youre fve years
old again. Te University keeps
the fountain running from April
through September, so splash
while you can.
toss goalposts in Potter
Lake
Its no mystery that Kansas
football is far from successful,
but sometimes it strikes gold and
beats a good team. After a victory
against a team like Missouri or K-
State, students take to the feld en
masse and rip the goalposts from
the ground and haul them to Pot-
ter Lake. Just make sure you dont
tear them down when the Jayhawks
beat a sorry team like students did
when Kansas beat a 1-5 Colorado
team in 2000.
Walk out in the middle
of class
Gone are the days of the hall
pass; at the University, students
are allowed to come and go as
they please. Your classmates will
watch, remember and perhaps
scorn you for at least fve min-
utes. Style points for staring at
the professor as you make your
hasty exit.
attend a club sport event
Besides football or basketball
games, there are lesser-known
gems to watch that are just as much
fun. Te Kansas Relays or womens
soccer are both stellar choices, and
another is Fools Fest. Tis annual
massive ultimate Frisbee tourna-
ment at Shenk Complex is a sure-
fre good time.
arrange a tryst
in Watson Library
Te cool, secluded aisles of Wat-
son Library make for much more
than a great study spot. Whatever
the nature of your rendezvous, re-
member: Keep as quiet (as pos-
sible) in the library.

Police crack down on noise
law
By tom slAuGhter
Charyne Hayes was adamant that
she wasnt going to let a little thing like
a nuisance ordinance get in the way of
her having a good time.
Te Smith Center junior is a resident
of Orchard Corners Apartments, 1405
Apple Lane. Hayes and her roommate
were warned once for noise complaints.
Te second complaint resulted in both
Hayes and her roommate being ticketed
$92 each and cited for heavy foot traf-
fccoming through their apartment.
It was so bogus,Hayes said.
Hayes was lucky that she and
her roommate were cited only once
for noise violations instead of twice,
otherwise their apartment would
qualify under what the City of
Lawrence would call a Disorderly
House Nuisance.
According to the citys Web site,
any residence where two or more felo-
nies, misdemeanors, alcohol violations
or violations of disorderly conduct oc-
cur within one year can be tagged as a
nuisance.
Occupants of these nuisance resi-
dences can be subject to eviction. Also,
visitors can be barred from entering the
premises and fences can be installed
around an ofenders property.
Before being issued a penalty for
being a nuisance, ofending parties
are given a written notice of the of-
fense and are required to participate in
a Nuisance Abatement Conference,
where attorneys for the city, the owner
of a residence and the ofending tenant
discuss what action should be taken.
Scott Miller, Lawrence city attorney,
said that while most of the disturbances
are party-type ofenses that are often
associated with students, they werent
the prime targets of the ordinance.
We have problems in all areas of
town, Miller said. Tis isnt aimed at
students, its aimed at behavior.
Student status has nothing to do
with how we enforce this ordinance,
Miller said.
Nick Blume, Hays junior, lives at
Seventh and Illinois streets. Te police
have given him warnings and a cita-
tion for noise complaints, which have
come from neighbors. Blume said that
he thought the matter could have been
handled diferently.
Wed prefer that our neighbors
come to us,he said.
Blume said that despite police
telling him he was being cooperative,
they reminded him that if they had
to come to the residence again for a
similar complaint, the house could
be considered a nuisance.
Joshua Bickel/KANSAN
Charyne Hayes got a ticket for disturbing the peace after having a few friends over at her apartment last November, the second time
the police have come knocking on her door in response to niose complaints. Hayes received a warning the frst time. Had she been
cited both times, her apartment would have been tagged as a Disorderly House Nuisance, and she could have been evicted.

Driving while

law
off the hill 2D
By tom slaughter
Nobody ever said cell phones were
cheap. Paying for a phone and the service
required to use it is expected, but trafc
tickets for using one while driving?
In the coming weeks, city commis-
sioners will consider a controversial traf-
fc safety proposal that would make it
illegal to use cell phones while driving,
including the use of hands-free devices.
If approved, the decision would make
Lawrences the harshest cell phone ban
in the nation.
Chris Wolfe, Topeka senior, needed
only two words to express his feelings on
the matter.
Tats ridiculous, he said.
Wolfe said that he was against a full
ban on cell phones, but not necessarily
one that banned hands-free devices.
In a 5-4 vote June 5, the city traf-
fc commission
narrowly gave its
disapproval of the
ban. Te trafc
commission doesnt
make decisions for
the city; they only
act as an advisory
board for the city
commission.
I cant be
supportive of an
all-out ban on
cell phones, Jim
Ziegelmeyer Jr., chairman of trafc com-
mission, said.
I think that the citizens feel strongly
that this is a bad ordinance, he said.
Close to a dozen local residents and
representatives for Sprint and Cingular
Wireless spoke at the meeting, which
lasted more than three hours at City
Hall. Te majority of the speakers ex-
pressed disdain for the proposal, citing
mostly the same reasons, respectively.
Tey compared using a cell phone to
turning the dial on a car radio.
Sue Hack, vice mayor, echoed the
sentiments of many of the proposals op-
ponents. She said that the hands-free
portion of the ordinance was harsh, and
would be difcult to enforce.
We already have ordinances that
regulate inattentive driving which would
cover cell phone usage. I would like to
hear what the stafs recommendation
is for increasing the fnes with regard to
this situation, Hack said. But I would
not support a total ban on cell phones in
Lawrence.
Critics have questioned precisely how
a police ofcer would be expected to
notice another driver using a cell phone,
particularly at night. Opponents have also
claimed that most drivers would probably
not pay attention to the ordinance.
Nathan Cox, Knoxville, Tenn., gradu-
ate student, said he would not be opposed
to an all-out ban.
Tere is something about talking on
a cell phone that is more distracting, he
said.
Paul Atchley, associate professor of
psychology, provided the committee with
evidence in favor
of a ban. He
studies cognitive
perception and
attention at KU.
Te body
of research in-
dicates that cell
phone use is just
as dangerous as
driving drunk,
Atchley said.
Trafc com-
missioner Carol
Jean Brune supported the ban.
Cell phone usage by a driver presents
a hazard that I would not want as a driver
in the City of Lawrence, Brune said.
According to Robert Hagan, trafc
commissioner, no specifc fne was pro-
posed for violating the ordinance.
Mike Amyx, mayor, said that the city
commission doesnt yet know when they
will discuss the ordinance or make a de-
cision.

Cell phone ban would mean trouble
for those who like to multitask
By anne weltmer
No matter your religion, prob-
ably one of the 42 religious student
organizations on the University of
Kansas campus would be able to
help you grow as a spiritual person.
A religious group can be a way
to make friends and a good source
of support and escape from daily
life and the added peer pressures on
campus.
Jenny Wilson, an Alma sopho-
more who is Roman Catholic, said
she thought that attending the
University helped her blossom as
a Catholic.
She said she felt like an outcast
in her hometown because it had few
Catholics. When she came to the
University, she found support with
the 7,000 to 8,000 other Catholic
students on cam-
pus, especially those,
such as herself, who
got involved at the
St. Lawrence Cath-
olic Center, 1631
Crescent Rd.
Te KU Hillel
Foundation, 901
Mississippi St., pro-
vides a community
for Jewish students
of all backgrounds. Jewish students
can participate in both religious and
social activities through the organi-
zation.
One program that highlights
Hillels ofers is the nationally-fund-
ed Birthright Israel trip, which is a
free 10-day trip given to any Jewish
s t u d e n t
b e t we e n
18 and 26
years old.
Many stu-
dents en-
joy the trip
on a his-
torical and
r el i gi ous
level, but
for some
its a life-changing experience.
Although Buddhism is an in-
dividual spiritual experience, Eric
Schaumberg of the KU Buddhist
Association said it helped him to
have the support of a group. He said
they meet once a week and meditate
together and have dharma talks to
lift up their minds.
With meditation I dont have to
study nearly as much. I just have to
read it once when my mind is clear,
Schaumberg said.
Many students have found a way
to stay spiritual or even become
more spiritual while at college.
Like Wilson and Schaumberg,
many others are able to spiritu-
ally blossom during college and
use their religion as an escape from
school and a source of support.

No need to scream for ice cream
Choose from a plethora of ice cream vendors to satisfy all types of midnight munchies
By malinda oBsorne
On Massachusetts Street, you need not
walk more than two blocks to encounter
a purveyor of ice cream.
In fact, corporate and local chains
fill the city landscape f rom every corner
with each one taking pride in its super
premium ice cream whatever that
means.
With such an extensive list of ice
cream places to choose f rom, a person
can easily get lost among the choices for
mix-ins and cones.
Here is a breakdown of what some of
the local ice cream parlors bring to the
chilled mixing table.
Sylas and Maddys
1014 Massachusetts St.
This locally owned family business ap-
peals to the taste buds and the ears with
flavors like Rock Chocolate Jayhawk
chunks of fudge and brownies or
Peanut Butter Freak Resees peanut
butter cups and chocolate.
Manager Jacob Mitchell also noted
the difference between other stores ice
cream and Sylas and Maddys is that
their ice cream contains 14 percent cream
compared to the normal 10 to 12 percent
at other stories, making the ice cream,
well, creamier.
The best part, however, is that they
deliver. You actually have to order it f rom
Wheat State Pizza, but for $3.99 a pint
or $6.99 a quart, you dont even have to
move more than a few feet. Truly that is
the definition of gluttony.

Coldstone Creamery
The 16 flavors offered make decisions
on what to order easy at first, but then
there are the assorted mix-ins.
If the f renetic mushing and pounding
action doesnt mesmerize you, then the
singing might. Servers must sing when
they receive a tip.
Manager Scott Self said auditions oc-
casionally were held for applicants, just
to make sure they could carry a tune.
The best night to stop by? Wednesday,
which is College Night where you can
buy one and get one f ree.
Truly desperate college students can
sign up for the birthday program by
picking up a card at the store or register-
ing on the companys Web site.
On your proven birthday No, this
is not the Hawk and an id is required
the store will send you a coupon for
f ree ice cream via e-mail.
Ben and Jerrys
Sure its a national chain but it still
seems to fit in with the neighbors just
fine.
Already after opening in January,
owner Jason Harris said the store had
partnered with the Lawrence Art Center
for an event and also sponsored the Law-
rence High School film festival.
Call them ice cream jockeys who care
though they dont care about your
waistline.
In fact, one of its newest flavors this
year is Black & Tan, which features
chocolate and cream stout ice cream.
And you thought a pint of Guinness
had a lot of calories.
Sheridans
2030 W. 23rd St.
The Overland Park-based chain takes
a different path and goes the custard
route.
This differs f rom ice cream
in that its smoother and
thicker, served about 25
degrees warmer than
ice cream and con-
tains less air, 10
to 20 percent
versus 50 to 90
percent in ice
cream.
The con-
cretes are the
main attraction
but the shakes,
floats and malts
are nothing to
sneeze at ei-
ther.
Dairy Queen
1835 Massachusetts
St.
If you prefer your ice cream to
be soft, then Dairy Queen remains
the place to beat.
Its blizzards continually please any
palate or sweet tooth craving. The pre-
made cakes come in quite handy too for
when youre in a pinch on a f riends un-
expected birthday.
Baskin Robbins
1524 W. 23rd St.
This chain has been around so long
it has reached the ridiculous concoction
stage in an attempt to lure more custom-
ers.
Point in case its Nutty S Mores
Cappuccino Blast. This takes Rocky
Road ice cream blended with coffee and
marshmallow topping, topped off with
chocolate and graham cracker crust.
No matter what, though, you cant go
wrong with any of the original 31 flavors.
Just dont bother going on your birthday,
f ree 2.5 ounce scoops are limited to 13-
year-olds and younger. Whatever.

off the hill 4D
By adrienne Bommarito
Through the years, problems
that existed between landlords
and tenants generally could have
been avoided if the two parties
had had a set understanding with
each other.
With the hopes of helping to
reduce these problems, here is
a compiled list from a variety of
sources, including landlords and
tenants, giving their advice on
keeping a good relationship be-
tween you and your landlord.

GUiDeliNeS
1. Landlords cannot read
minds
Whatever you might think,
your landlord does not automati-
cally know when there is a prob-
lem, whether it be when your air
conditioner stops working or your
house becomes infested with spi-
ders.
Make sure you call your land-
lords as soon as the problem arises
so they have time to find a solu-
tion.
Most landlords prefer to solve
small problems than neglected,
un-called in, large problems.
Serena Hearn, landlord, Rainbow
Works, LLC.
2. Pay rent and utilities
on time
Some landlords charge a daily
fee for overdue rent payments, just
like utility companies charge a late
fee for late payments. Also, some
landlords request to know when the
utility payments are sent in, so they
also know if your payment is late.
Solution: pay-up and pay on time.
3. Dont wait until Friday
night to re-
port a prob-
lem
If a problem
with your house
arises on a Fri-
day night, then
defnitely call your
landlord. However,
if a problem occurs
on a day earlier in
the week, its bet-
ter to call your
landlord then.
Trying to fnd a company for
plumbing, electricity or air condi-
tioning and heating that works on
the weekends is difcult. So, dont
wait.
Communicate a problem with
rental-house as soon as possible
in writing. Dont wait a few days
with a dripping faucet until water
is spraying everywhere to call in,
Hearn said.
4. Have good communica-
tion

Simply enough, if your landlord
calls you, answer the phone just as
you expect your landlord to answer
your phone call.
5. Remember your landlord
is not out to get you
When a problem occurs in your
house, dont assume
the landlord is in-
tentionally trying
to cause a crisis or
be mean. Dont take
a dilemma in your
house as an attack
from your landlord.
6. Read the
lease rules
carefully
Te Landlord
Tenant Act protects
both the landlord
and the tenant, so both parties should
be responsive to the regulations.
7. Dont complain about
small things that break
Try fxing small problems yourself
before calling your landlord. For in-
stance, if your toilet stops working,
try plunging it frst.
8. Respect the property

Understand that your landlord is
the actual owner of the house; you
are just a renter. Any damage you
cause to the property afects the
landlord directly.
9. Say Thank You
Referring to both parties, tenants
should thank their landlords, and
landlords should reward their ten-
ants when the relationship is good.
If theres a problem, just ask in a
nice way. Nobody likes an attitude.
Rick Kupper, landlord,
10. Always be honest
If a landlord sets a rule, be honest
about it. For instance, if your land-
lord allows dogs, but charges a fee,
dont sneak the dog in. Just inform
your landlord that you have a new
addition.
11. Give the proper 30-day
notice
If you know you are moving out
on a certain date, be sure to inform
your landlord. It will only make the
situation go smoothly for both peo-
ple. Also, some landlords wont give
back the deposit if a 30-day notice
isnt given.

Landlord
or not to lease?
Jim Slough owns approxi-
mately 20 properties in Law-
rence, mostly between Sixth
and 15th streets and between
Iowa and Connecticut streets.
He said that students make
up 90 percent of his tenants.
I think that the number of
tenants who are a problem is
pretty small, Slough said.
Slough said the most prob-
lematic houses tend to be
those with between six and
eight residents. He said the
more residents there are, the
more likely it was for them to
throw parties.
Alcohol leads to a lot of
problems that you wouldnt
necessarily have, he said.
Slough cited one incident
when tenants hosted a party
and people in attendance
caused damage to a nearby
house, forc-
ing him to pay
for repairs be-
cause no one
admitted to
the damage.
Miller said
that people
who are prose-
cuted for nui-
sance crimes
often feel the
penalty is dis-
proporti onate
to the severity
of the crime.
He said that the propri-
ety of the penalties has been
discussed, and members of
the public have been given
opportunities to voice their
opinions through public fo-
rums.
Miller said that there are
currently five or six residenc-
es who qualify for an abate-
ment conference, and the city
has everything in place to
go through with them.
I imagine that number will
continue to go up, he said.
Miller said that there is no
way to tell if students make
up the majority of offending
parties; there is no screen-
ing process that occurs when
homes are cited.
This whole ordinance
structure is aimed at solving
the problem, Miller said.
So far, students have given
mixed responses regarding
whether they are going to take
the ordinance into consider-
ation when throwing parties.
Hayes did admit that one
of the parties at her apart-
ment did get noisy, but she
said that the threat of penal-
ties wouldnt scare her f rom
having people over to her
apartment again.
If I want to have a party,
Im going to
have a party,
she said.
Blume took
a different
philosophy.
He said that
he thought
the ordinance
was dumb
because an en-
tire house can
be blanketed a
nuisance when
only certain
people living
there have parties.
However, he would take the
ordinance into consideration.
It s definitely going to be
my thought to never have a
house party again, he said.

Molly Easly used to hate going an-
tique shopping with her mother when
she was a child, but this Lawrence junior
grew to love antiques and is now an avid
shopper.
When Easly fnally moved into a
house, she wanted a more unique decorat-
ing style, she looked to the antique stores
around Lawrence to get the job done.
She described her style as more tradi-
tional than modern, with a lot of inter-
esting colors and patterns. She said she
liked to decorate with the kind of stuf
people dont see every day.
Shopping at the antique mall lets you
do that, she said.
Lawrence has a good deal of antique
dealers peddling everything from old
clothes, to old cars, to old Coke Cola bot-
tles. Almost anything that might catch
your fancy can be found in one of Law-
rences nine antique stores, be it a genuine
antique or just a cool collectible.
Dennis Oakley, owner of Antique Ba-
zaars II, Inc., 840 Massachusetts St., said
he considered antique shopping an edu-
cational process.
He said people came in the frst time
not knowing much about antiques, but
the more times they shopped, the more
quality items they would start to notice
and appreciate.
Tats what its all about, Oakley
said.
An art and jewelry collector himself,
Oakley said hed been in the antique busi-
ness in Lawrence for about 35 years, but
had been collecting since he was a child.
Ive been picking up old stuf since I
was 8 years old. Im 58 now.
He said it was an evolving type of
business, with each generation interested
in diferent things. Te younger crowds
hed seen in his store
lately were usually
interested in clothes
and jewelry, but
when they looked
around, they discov-
ered there were other
things that interested
them, as well.
Larry Billings, co-
owner of Lawrence
Antique Mall, 830 Massachusetts St., said
that fads changed with each generation.
He said hed noticed college-aged people
were into retro items such as vinyl re-
cords, which were big sellers for him, but
interest wasnt limited to those.
People collect all kinds of stuf, Bill-
ings said.
He said students were usually looking
for things to decorate their apartments
and dorm rooms, like beer and party
signs. However, they also bought gifts for
their parents who are collectors. Hed also
seen girls in the store looking for jewelry
for themselves.
Not only does she shop for jewelry, but
Mary Brewster, Lawrence alumna, is also
a collector of frst edition books and any-
thing Kennedy to add to her collection.
But that doesnt mean shes restricted to
just those themes.
I have an obsession with old things,
Brewster said. Anything a little quirky or
of.
Brewster said shed been collecting
at least since she was
in high school, and
had done so because
she liked stuf with a
story.
Ben Rumback, fel-
low collector and
friend of Brewsters,
said he, too, had been
collecting since high
school, and liked older
things that were rich in character.
I like anything made of wood from
back in the day, said Rumback, Hutchin-
son junior.
Rumback said he liked shopping for
old wooden objects, as well as old Bat-
man items, but he also said he liked the
cleaning process.
Anything with layers of old grit to
wipe of, he said with a grin. Tats
fun.

Before long, your college utopia will
be interrupted.
You ll start to feel the effects of home-
work and sleepless nights: Coughing, a
sore throat, a running nose.
Its no surprise. Theres a valid rela-
tionship between stress and illness, said
Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Wat-
kins Memorial Health Center.
But have no fear.
The University of Kansas and the
Lawrence community are home to nu-

Zona Rosa highlights upscale entertainment, shopping
entertainment
By dejuan atway
Nestled and tucked quietly in
north Kansas City, nearly un-
detected f rom anyone outside
Platte County, lies the Zona Rosa
neighborhood. Zona Rosa offers
upscale entertainment, shopping
and dining experiences in Kansas
City, Mo.
Located at the intersection of
I-29 and Barry Road, Zona Rosa
is Spanish for pink zone. It is
modeled after a suburb in Mexico
City, Mexico, which is one of the
nations biggest cultural and com-
mercial tourist destinations.
The name comes f rom many of
the buildings in the Mexico City
district that were various shades
of pink during Zona Rosa peak in
the 1960s.
Not as well known as the other
chic Kansas City shopping dis-
tricts such as the Country Club
Plaza, The Legends, Town Cen-
ter, and Westport, Zona Rosa
opened in May 2004. The neigh-
borhood has seen the growth of
the area increase every year since
its opening.
The 45-minute trip to Zona
Rosa f rom Lawrence will make
every KU student contemplate
whether it is worth the trip.
The retail venue has 68 retail
businesses which include a variety
of different stores such as Helz-
berg Diamonds, Sharper Image,
Abercrombie & Fitch to Build-
A-Bear and New York Company.
Besides shopping, visitors to
Zona Rosa can dine at restaurants,
such as the Hereford House, Bo
Lings and Mimis Cafe.
If you get tired f rom the shop-
ping and eating, visitors can get
massages at the Avalon Salon and
Spa.
Patrons can also enjoy a movie
or listen to comedians at the The
Majestic.
Edward Thomas, Kansas City
junior, said that Zona Rosa was
one the nicest shopping districts
in the Kansas City area.
Zona Rosa presents a nice
casual atmosphere. Its a place
where you can enjoy the weather
and you dont have that enclosed
feeling that you have with malls,
Thomas said.
Zona Rosa also has residential
loft- style apartments that can be
rented and has a small childrens
park in the center of the neigh-
borhood.

Facebook.com has reached a pla-
teau few other Web sites have. It
reached the popularity point to where
its name has been turned into a pseu-
do-verb.
It is common to hear students say,
Lets facebook it.
As last years seventh most-visited
Web site, it serves as a networking,
communication and entertainment
resource for college, and, most re-
cently, high school students. It has
the ability to help students kill hours
of boredom. However, it also poses
threats to a students privacy and
could bring trouble with the law.
Facebook.com is fun, but there are
some precautions to take, as is true
with most Web sites.
Te only thing a student needs
to access facebook.com through the
University of Kansas is a valid KU
e-mail address. From there they can
create a profle. Tis profle can list
everything from their sexual orienta-
tion to their birthday to their favorite
movies. Not to mention members can
have countless pictures of them and
their friends in photo albums.
Some students choose to put their
address, phone number, class sched-
ule, work place and e-mail address on
their profle. Te backlash is obvious.
Any person with a computer can get
a hold of someone at any hour of the
day.
Kyle Shook, Cofeyville sopho-
more, said he did not put his address
on his profle in order to avoid so-
licitors or anyone wanting to play a
prank on him.
Tat way no one will come bang-
ing on my door, Shook said.
One thing to note is that only
students from the same school can
view each others profle, unless they
are friends with someone at another
school.
In these cases, the easy way to
avoid stalking and to maintain ones
privacy is to not include this type of
information. Tis is the same advice
students have heard for years. Face-
book.com also provides an option to
block all non-friends from viewing
your profle.
Sarah Hogan, Eagan, Minn.,
junior, has been on facebook.com
for two years. She used to have her
phone number listed on her profle.
One night a random guy called her
and wanted to meet up with her. She
took her phone number of the Web
site after the incident. She said wom-
en needed to be careful when it came
to disclosing information that could
draw predators.
You dont know what creepy
people are looking at your profle,
Hogan said.
However, with facebook.com,
there is one more thing to consider.
As Te University Daily Kansan re-
ported two semesters ago, employ-
ers are looking at facebook.com, too.
Some employers look at a students
profle to gather information as to
what type of person they think the
student is. Tey read the about me,
and other sections to try to determine
if the student has a party lifestyle and
drinks excessively or uses drugs.
Shook said if he ever applied for an
on-campus job, he would take down
all his incriminating photos and any-
thing vulgar in his profle.
It was also reported that police
were looking at pictures on facebook.
com and searching for underage
students who were drinking. Tey
also were reportedly going into the
events portion of the Web site to
look for upcoming parties. From there
they would look for minors who had
RSVPd to the party. Ten, the police
would supposedly go to these parties
with heavy underage attendance.
Student athletes also should
closely monitor what they include in
their profles. Two semesters ago, the
Kansas Athletics Department started
looking at its athletes profles. Of-
fcials looked for anything defaming
toward the athlete or the department.
Whether it was a picture of an athlete
drinking or negative remarks about a
coach or trainer, the department told
the athlete to remove it.
Current student athletes advised
future athletes to be careful with
what they uploaded onto the Web
site. Some recommended not joining
at all, saying soon they thought the
department would not allow athletes
to have them.
If you want to join facebook.com
at the University, then go for it. How-
ever, take precautions in what you put
in your profle. You never know who
might see it.

Take precautions

When Nick Arthachinda ended his
presidential term for his f raternity, Delta
Upsilon, 1025 Emery Road, in December
of 2005, he wanted to move out of the
house as soon as possible.
But because all of his f riends had
already signed apartment leases, Ar-
thachinda needed a solution.
He said he got lucky.
He contacted The Legends, 4101 W.
24th Place, to see if they offered six-
month leases or subleases.
They did.
The Legends allowed residents to
move in on any date throughout the year,
depending on vacancy, with no extra cost,
said Susan Rinke, property manager for
The Legends. All leases ended July 31st.
The trick to the flexible move-in
date was subleasing. If apartments had
residents that needed out of their leases
early, then they had the option of filling
out an information sheet describing liv-
ing styles, which would then be placed in
a database.
When prospective residents needed
an apartment, the office would search
through the database for similarities in
information, and then would perform the
switch.
Arthachinda found his one-bedroom
apartment using this system.
Other apartment complexes offer
similar solutions, such as Hutton Farms,
3401 Hutton Drive, which allows resi-
dents to move in at any time, if there are
available apartments, and if the quota for
that leasing period hasnt been reached.
The quota number is set by the owner
and based on the accounting books for
the complex, according to Josh Eberline,
a member of the management team at
Hutton Farms.
Shorter leases leaves us open in times
when people arent wanting to lease, Eb-
erline said. Thats the reason they have
quotas.
Hutton Farms offers three lease-end-
ing dates: July 31, May 31 and December
31.
If the complex knows of an apartment
whose residents want to sublease, then
the complex will suggest that apartment
when prospective residents are interest-
ed.
Even though there is a $100 sub-lease
fee, Eberline said the process shouldnt
cause too much stress because the com-
plex helped find new residents to take
over.
We try to get them as fast as pos-
sible, he said. It is a pain for anyone to
have to deal with that.

Subleasing provides
quick, easy solution
to renting problem
1. All-you-can-eat chips,
white cheese dip and frozen
margaritas from El Mezcal
1819 W. 23rd St. and 804 Iowa St.
Sometimes all you need for a great
meal is a tasty appetizer and a jumbo
drink.
At El Mezcal the chips and salsa are
complimentary and the white queso dip
is a must.
Visit on a Tuesday night for the Mexi-
can restaurants jumbo margarita special.
2. A 14-inch custom-made
pizza slice from Papa Kenos

slice can be enough to satisfy.
Papa Kenos is famous for its oversized
order-it-how-you-want-it pizza slice,
with a choice of more than 30 toppings.
3. Double Johnny Wilson burg-
er from Johnnys
401 N. Second St.
Tis stacked burger is one reason
to brave the not-so-tough crowds and
permanent mens-locker-room smell of
Johnnys.
Its well known that Johnnys has the
best burgers in town, but their fries are
woefully underrated.
4. The Yello Sub at Yello Sub
624 W. 12th St. and 1814 W. 23rd St.
Six inches or a foot-long? You decide.
Either way the Yello Sub namesake

tuce, mayo assembled on made-from-
scratch whole-wheat bread will satisfy
your grumblings from below.
Yello Sub ofers 43 other meat subs

can meal the submarine sandwich
isnt quite enough, add locally-made
Arts and Marys chips or a fresh, delec-
table chocolate chip cookie.
5. India Palace lunch buffet
129 E. 10th St.
Try something new, and a lot of it. Te
weekday lunch bufet at India Palace lets

Dont let the name fool you this isnt
the vegetable you loved to hate in grade
school. Mad Greeks spinach pie plate

a large portion of Greek salad. Creamy
cucumber tzatziki sauce tops this dinner
for the perfect taste of Greece.
7. Steak rice bowl at La Parilla
Te most undiscovered item at this
Latin-American cafe is its steak rice
bowl. First-timers scof at the bland-
sounding meal, but try it once and you ll
be an I already know what I want re-
peat rice-bowl buyer. Te bowls also rea-
sonably healthy, especially if you bail out
and go vegetarian.
8. Brunch for a king at Tellers
Tis ritzy downtown eatery ofers the
best brunch in Lawrence on Sundays
from 9 a.m., to 2 p.m.

Tannings popularity reaches new
levels with each passing day.
What has now become a $7 billion
industry, the quest to be bronzed and
beautiful is a trend that has taken Law-
rence by storm.
Girls or guys, student or profession-
al, the tanning craze
dips in to a wide va-
riety of demograph-
ics proving that
spending 15 minutes
every few days nap-
ping in a canopy bed
of lights isnt just a
girl thing.
A lot of business-
men come in to get
that more professional
look and college guys
too, I think, are start-
ing to realize that ap-
pearance does matter,
said Jenny Peck, Law-
rence Celsius Tannery
manager.
Although the primary goal is to ob-
tain the Of course I lay around on the
beach all day, dont you? look, others
tan simply for the pleasure of feeling
the imitation sunlight enveloping their
bodies, while some even use the high-
watt bulbs to clear up acne.
Maggie McCoy, Winfield senior,
said that Body Boutique was her favor-
ite tanning salon.
One of 12 Lawrence tanning salons,
Body Boutique houses a wing of tan-
ning beds within its health club and
salon, created for womens use only.
McCoy liked it for the inexpen-
sive, unlimited package the salon of-
fered while she
was getting ready
for a special occa-
sion that she knew
would be enhanced
by a natural look-
ing tan.
Te habit can be-
come quite pricey,
especially depend-
ing on the tanners
bed of choice.
One session can
range to as little
as a $4 trip in a
level one bed and
can get all the way
up to a $30 per
session in a high
pressure, UVB-blocking bed.
Celsius Tannery, for example, uses
Ultra Bronze technology that can block
up to 99.7 percent of the UVB expo-
sure, known as the burning ray, making
it less likely to burn the skin compared
to a level-one bed. The company refers
to its beds as high-pressure beds, in-
stead of Ultra Bronze.
Were not going to say that its safer
because its not proven one way or the
other, Peck said. There is a less likely
chance that you ll burn in a high pres-
sure bed than a low pressure one.
With 800,000 cases of skin cancer
diagnosed every year, making it the
most prominent form of cancer accord-
ing to the American Cancer Society.
Technology that takes away the burn
may be worth the extra cost.
But even with the no-burn alterna-
tive offered, for some the risk is still
too much to overcome.
The American Cancer Society
claims that those who tan f requently
before the age of 35 are eight times as
likely to develop skin cancer
Its cancer filled so I dont even go
at all anymore, McCoy said.
For those not willing to give up their
island-dwelling look, spray tans are also
becoming more popular.
The tanner stands in a type of show-
er that basically just drenches the body
in a fake tanning lotion.
Usually, the spray-on tans take 24
hours to mature on the skin and dont
last as long as being under the lights,
but its a safe alternative to stay tan.

My car has been good to me.
Old blue, my Ford Taurus,
has helped me get where I need
to go.
But, like any 13-year-old car,
my four-door sedan with a sal-
vage title and a Maaco paint job
has had its rough days.
It s made noises, shook,
stalled and smoked. But being
old and far f rom trendy doesnt
mean Old Blue is headed for the
scrap yard at least not yet.
There are a few miles left for
its engine, and in order to get
the most of Old Blue, or any
car, it s important to get regular
maintenance checks.
Taking my car to the shop
was a task my dad was in charge
of, but since I came to college,
it s been my responsibility.
Maintenence is simple
enough. Every 2,500 miles or
so, I take my car in for an oil
change.
Because of the miles on my
car it has well over 100,000
it needs more than an oil
change.
Any phone book has a num-
ber of listings for auto diagnos-
tic services.
Some mechanics specialize
in different areas. For example,
there are transmission mechan-
ics, oil and lube shops and
places like Wal-Mart that offer
services.
However, choosing a place to
put your beloved wheels is more
complicated than a flip through
the yellow pages.
Call the mechanic and ask
whether the shop is certified,
and if so, in what.
If you dont know a lot about
cars, ask someone you trust who
knows what s what to go along
with you to drop the car off.
Ive found it beneficial to
ask f riends, professors and even
teaching assistants for advice
on mechanics. If theyve lived
in Lawrence for more than five
years, chances are, theyve been
to a mechanic.
Recommendations or com-
plaints are helpful in weeding
out the good mechanics f rom
the bad.
Once youve found a me-
chanic, explain to whomever
takes your keys what exactly is
the problem.
Dont feel stupid trying to re-
enact noises or explain strange
shakes or smells.
Also, it s important you tell
the mechanic to call before they
fix anything.
If you dont think a test needs
to be run, or you know you can
change an air filter yourself, tell
them not to proceed. It s okay
to say it is your car.
That said, keep in mind
it s not a good idea to ignore
problems because you cant af-
ford to fix them or because you
dont have the time. Charge the
maintenance on a credit card
and find time.
Ignoring a problem could
make your troubles worse and
seriously ruin your car. A $500
bill is much better than buying
a new one.

By Dani Hurst
Josh Levine stood on the
concrete slab marked with a
large painted 17 and clutched
the orange disc in his right
hand, squinting against the sun
toward the disc golf target.
He took a few steps back, ran
forward and flung the disc into
the air. It sailed a little too far to
the left and hit the grass, finally
rolling to a stop.
His disc didnt land nearly as
close to the target as any of his
f riends discs it almost land-
ed in the street but he didnt
look disappointed. He simply
trotted over to the grounded
disc, picked it up and flung
again.
This was the first day in four
years that Levine, Omaha grad-
uate student, had played disc
golf. So why hop back on the
wagon?
Its just fun, Levine said,
the f ront and back of his grey
t-shirt soaked with sweat.
Disc golf is nothing new.
People have been chucking fly-
ing discs at targets in disc golf
fashion since the 70s, but the
sport has gained momentum in
Lawrence in
recent years.
The name
of the game
alone hints
at its simi-
larities to
golf as far
as the struc-
ture of the game and rules are
concerned.
According to the Profes-
sional Disc Golf Association
Web site, the goal of the game
is to complete a course in the
fewest number of throws of
the disc.
Each player stands at the
tee, or a designated spot for
the start of every hole, and
throws the disc toward the
hole, which in this case is a
metal pole with chains descend-
ing f rom the top and meeting at
a ridge about a foot below the
top that surrounds the pole and
catches the disc.
So just throw a disc and land
it in a metal
basket? Is
that all?
Eager be-
ginners, be-
ware. Disc
golf courses
are usually
laid out in
a place that poses natural ob-
stacles. These are a huge part of
the game because they increase
the difficulty of each hole and
thus cannot be altered.
Participants must play around
trees and shrubs and in ditches
and through weeds to play the
game well.

Doug Moler, Lawrence resident and 1991 KU alumnus, displays the various types of discs used when playing disc golf. Discs take
the same names as golf clubs, being either a driver, mid-range or putter. Different discs fy through the air differently, with drivers
used for long-distance throws and putters used for shorter, more accurate throws.
Just disc it
Golfers take to the course as game gains new popularity

Keith Lake, Lawrence resident and 1997 KU alumnus, prepares to throw his disc during a round of disc golf Thursday night at
Centennial Park. Lake said playing disc golf was a cheap sport that allowed him to spend time outside with his friends and get
exercise.
Its just fun.

tradition
Make your mark on the River City
10 things to do to make your time in Lawrence worth the effort
1. See a band youve never
heard
You can head to the Bottleneck on
most any night, see a band youve never
heard of and have a surprisingly good
time. Youll hear new, fresh music in
an intimate atmosphere around people
with similar musical tastes.
2. Window shop
on Massachusetts Street
Saxophone music swells on street cor-
ners from musicians. Families, couples
and workers stroll down the sidewalks,
and local specialty shops keep their doors
wide open. Go for holiday gift buying, a
quick shopping spree, or just to soak up
the unique Lawrence atmosphere.
3. Get a snow cone at Tads
Welcome to Lawrence, Northern-
ers, and to the brutal month of August.
When the temperatures push into the
100s and the air starts to sufocate you,
make your way to Tads Tropical Snow,
930 Iowa St., where crunchy frozen ice
and 130 favors await you.
4. Canoe or kayak at Clinton
or Lone Star Lake
Get your own vessel or borrow some-
one elses and go to Clinton Lake (or
Lone Star Lake if youre feeling ambi-
tious) and spend a few hours on your
own on the lake during a pleasant fall day.
Bring your rod and tackle box if youre a
keen fsherman, but avoid eating any-
thing you catch at Clinton Lake.Youll be
safe with the Lone Star goodies.
5. Watch a movie at Liberty
Hall
Lawrences downtown movie theater
not only has rare indie ficks, but its also
the only place in town, short of your liv-
ing room,where you can drink a beer and
watch a show at the same time. Plus, the
closed-cove feeling of the two intimate
theaters make Liberty seem like youre
screening movies in your own home.
6. Run or bike along the
Kansas River
Grab your bike or running shoes and
head about the mile west from the zero-
mile marker on the levee, just north of
the river.Tere youll fnd a shady, rolling
14-mile trail to go running or biking on.
Its better than sprinting on a treadmill
or riding a stationary bike at the Student
Fitness Recreation Center. Just watch
out for snakes.
7. Play in the water at the
Lawrence Aquatic Center
It doesnt get much better than miles
of water slides,fake lily pads and huge ce-
ramic mushrooms that spray water. But
its available at Lawrences best outdoor
pool located at Eighth and Kentucky
Streets. And youll fnd decent-looking
lifeguards to boot.

8. Frisbee golf
The Frisbee golf course at 9th
and Iowa Streets offers 18 holes
of disc golf bliss. The course re-
ceived rave reviews in the 2003
edition of the USDGA directory.
Its a good time by yourself or
with f riends, regardless of your
talent. The disc course is con-
veniently located behind Buckys
Drive-In, so stop by for a tasty
burger and thick milk shake after
you throw.
9. Live in the student ghetto
Tose infamous streets, Ohio,
Tennessee, and Kentucky, just east
of campus, are known for their 100-
year-old houses, brimming student
population and tight-knit neighbor-
hood feel.
Walk through the ghetto on al-
most any weekend evening and youll
fnd an open-porch house party, wel-
coming people and a college vibe un-
like anywhere else in Lawrence.
10. Stay in Lawrence for the
summer
You might assume the citys a
ghost town. Guess again. June to
August provide the best laid-back
college atmosphere with the perfect
amount of people about. More than
10,000 students take summer class-
es. Not to mention several thousand
more stay in town for a summer of.
Lawrence restaurants, bars and
venues can ofer students an oppor-
tunity to relax without the crowds,
lines and stolen parking spots.

fitness
By Dani Hurst
While the Freshman 15 isnt an
exact science, it isnt a complete myth,
either. Te sudden and drastic changes
in students lifestyles can greatly afect
their health and ftness level, which can
begin to show itself in uncharacteristic
weight gain. But not to worry. With the
help of Ann Chapman, coordinator for
nutritional services at Watkins Memo-
rial Health Center, east of Robinson
Center, here is a comprehensive guide
to dealing with the transition to college
life in relation to your health.
1. Have a plan.
Most students dont bother organiz-
ing their eating habits, or simply dont
think about it. Scheduling regular meals
and snacks,along with exercise,can help
keep you on the right track and away
from developing bad habits, like skip-
ping meals and constant snacking.
2. Keep a food diary.
Tis can be a very enlightening ex-
perience for students, especially if they
have to log every bite they take in a day.
It will show you exactly what youre eat-
ing and in what quantities, which can
help you set goals to change your eat-
ing if necessary. It can also show you
problem areas you might have, such as
eating too many sweets or not enough
vegetables.
3. Consider Better Bites
Tese food options are available in
all the dining spots on campus, and are
labeled clearly for convenience. Tey
are a tasty and healthier alternative to
food that is fried and high in sodium
and carbohydrates, and are there for
students who want to watch what they
eat.
4. Exercise, for real.
Although you might break a sweat
walking to class or up the hills on cam-
pus, that is still not sufcient exercise.
Its better than nothing, but it does not
burn fat because it does not keep your
heart rate constant. Work out an exer-
cise plan that fts with your schedule
and stick to it.Te Student Recreation-
al Center is free for students to use, and
there are personal trainers to help you
along the way.
5. Educate yourself
Many problems students have arise
from not knowing the facts about diet
and exercise. Take the time to educate
yourself about what are and are not
healthy eating and exercise habits so
you know if what youre doing is help-
ing or harming your body.
6. Have realistic goals and
body image
Dont say neveror alwaysbecause
both statements are highly restrictive
and dont allow room for change. Say-
ing that youll never eat dessert or
that youll always workout every day
is easier than actually doing it. Realistic
body image is important, too, because
the way you view yourself will afect
the way you treat your body. Dont push
your body too hard toward an unattain-
able goal.
7. Dont be afraid to ask for
help
If you think something is wrong or
that you need help, dont wait until the
situation gets any worse. Oftentimes,
students dont visit a dietician or nutri-
tionist until theyve already gained a lot
of weight. But by catching the problem
early on, you can take matters into your
own hands and act right away.
8. Keep drinking to a mini-
mum
Students dont realize how many
calories come from a bottle of beer.
Tose calories tend to add up quickly
because theyre so easy to forget about.
Late-night snacking is another pitfall
to excessive drinking, which is another
quick source for unwanted calories.
9. Its all about moderation
Dont eat everything in sight, but
dont starve yourself, either. It can be
easy for some to fall into extreme diet-
ing or bingeing, but neither is a healthy
option. If you want cookies with your
lunch, get cookies with your lunch. Just
cut out desserts with other meals, and
dont get them every day. Tis way you
can still eat what you want, you just
have to keep it under control.
10. Make your health a prior-
ity
If you dont take your health seri-
ously, you wont take the extra steps to
keep it up. But if you honestly want to
make a change, or simply want to stay
in shape, be sincere in your eforts and
you will be successful. You might not
get there right away, but patience and
hard work will eventually pay of.

Seasonal allergies problematic
for old, new suferers
health
off the hill 13D
By Dani Hurst
Manrique Cartin, Costa Rica
senior, said he rarely got sick.
But this summer, hes been vis-
iting Watkins Memorial Health
Center, east of Robinson Cen-
ter, more f requently because of
a sore throat and irritated eyes
and nose f rom allergies.
His allergies were worse at
the beginning of the summer,
but Cartin said hed noticed
things floating around lately,
and thought that might have
had something to do with it.
If you can see stuff, Cartin
said, I think its pretty bad.
Allergens in the air vary con-
stantly, but this year has had
higher-than-average amounts
of tree and
grass pollen,
said James
Ransom, an
allergist at the
Allergy and
Asthma Clinic
in Topeka,
1123 S.W.
Gage Blvd.
In addition
to the pollen,
outdoor mold
is also nega-
tively affecting
people, the worst of which was
a mold called alternaria, Ran-
som said.
Agricultural or soil mold is
one of the most prominent al-
lergens in the air, especially
because of the wheat harvest,
which tends to scatter mold
spores into the air, he said.
Ransom also said that rag-
weed a weed very prominent
in this area was particularly
problematic to allergy sufferers.
Ben Combes, Inman senior,
said that his allergies lasted
longer into the summer than
normal.
Combes said that it was in-
convenient for him because hed
be sitting in class and his nose
would start running. He said he
always had to carry tissues with
him.
Actually, its kind of embar-
rassing, Combes said.
People who have never had
allergy symptoms before could
usually tell the difference be-
tween those symptoms and oth-
er illnesses.
Allergies were usually cou-
pled with itchy eyes and nose
and fevers were often an indica-
tion of a cold or flu, Dr. Robert
Brown said, staff physician at
Watkins.
Matt Milburn, Rogers, Ark.,
senior, said that whenever hed
been out-
side hed
been sneez-
ing more
than usual
and his eyes
were wa-
tery.
He said
that if he
didnt take
medi cati on
first, hed
suffer all
day.
His symptoms didnt even ex-
ist before this summer.
I dont like it, Milburn said.
Ive never been a big pill per-
son. Its just another thing I
have to add to my list of things
to do every day.
And the pill taking may not
stop. Ransom said tree pollen
reflects the moisture f rom the
previous year, and with this in-
formation people could assume
that the fall weeds would be
troublesome as well.

You cant separate Lawrence f rom
its music.
Music is the citys pride, enter-
tainment and soul. Lawrences in-
habitants live in a music-soaked,
music-cloaked world. Music leaks
f rom venue doors and blasts f rom
open residence hall room windows.
Streetcorner saxophone and gui-
tar players provide a soundtrack to
downtown evenings.
Music is on the radio, picked up
f rom various Kansas City and To-
peka stations and f rom the student-
run KJHK, a lesson in eclecticism
via airwaves.
Fliers for wanted drummers and
bassists cluster on bulletin boards,
haphazardly pinned over layers and
layers of glossy concert posters, open
mic night ads and neon DJ fliers.
In September 2005, Spin maga-
zine called Lawrence the always-
dependable indie rock haven, but
the city has a lot more than indie
rock.
Countless venues around town
plays host to a variety of music
events on a nightly basis.
There are open mic nights, po-
etry readings and karaoke. There are
scores of local bands and f requent
famous ones. Most shows cost $5 or
less, and many are for 18-and-over
patrons.
For example, in a given week, the
Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts
St., has 16 bands, a DJ and a vari-
ety night all for an 18-and-over
audience. The highest cover for the
week is $6.
The Granada, here since 1928
at 1020 Massachusetts St., has live
music almost every night, always for
those under 21, with tickets between
$5 and $20. Past bands there include
Something Corporate, Phantom
Planet and Tech N9ne.
Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts
St., is usually a movie theater, but
about three times a month turns into
a large venue for concerts, said man-
ager Rob Fitzgerald. Liberty Hall
rents the 1000-seat venue to concert
promoters around town.
Lawrence has a great climate for
burgeoning artists too.
Jared Gabel, 2004 graduate, start-
ed his band Gryphyn in 2003. He
practiced with a few f riends, and
started playing with another band at
the Jazzhaus, a well-known venue at
926 1/2 Massachusetts St.
Gabel says being in a band in col-
lege was a great experience.
Sometimes I should have been
studying, he said. But it was awe-
some to be out partying, at a club,
and sometimes people would recog-
nize you.
Mike Tiffany
is a promoter for
Hunt Industries,
a local music pro-
motion company.
Tiffany said he
finds support for
various kinds of
music here.
We do every-
thing f rom coun-
try to hip hop to
metal to rock, he
said. It s a very
f riendly place to
music. Youve got
downtown, with
five main venues
in three blocks.
Downtown is
just the beginning for the Lawrence
music scene.
The University of Kansas Lied
Center offers dozens of productions
annually right on campus.
On the books for the fall are two
guest dance companies, two musi-
cals, two chamber music concerts
and a string quartet piece about civil
rights leaders.
The University also has an excel-
lent music program that offers f re-
quent concerts, sym-
phonies and opera.
Lawrence is a haven
for those who know a
lot about music and
an educator for those
who dont.
Whether you like
going to concerts
three times a week, or
prefer your music to
be in the background,
Lawrence music fits
the bill.
Lawrence is one of
the great scenes. Peo-
ple are more aware of
what s going on. Peo-
ple are more support-
ive, Tiffany said.

Its Thursday night at 7.
The perpetual question is
plaguing you. To go out or to stay
in? Do I want a quiet night or a
crazy one?
Every week for three days
yes, the weekend starts on Thurs-
days this question haunts stu-
dents. No matter your decision,
Lawrence has an answer to all
nightlife dilemmas.
With so many options, our
little college town is a veritable
goldmine of ways to avoid study-
ing.
Lawrence is small enough to
have a f riendly, community vibe,
while being big enough to have a
variety of bars, shows, scenes and
opportunities.
You start to become familiar
with the regulars and yet there
are always new people to meet,
Craig Beeson, Loma Linda, Ca-
lif., graduate student, said.
Not so fast, young one
Oh, the exquisite pain of be-
ing underage in a college town. It
may seem everyone around you is
getting wasted and therefore get-
ting laid, but its just not true.
Fun can be had without alco-
hol and those MIPs are getting so
expensive you should do yourself
a favor and play by the rules at
least some of the time.
One of the best bets for young-
lings who still want to see and be
seen is the Granadas, 1020 Mas-
sachusetts St., 80s night, Neon.
Every Thursday night at 9, hip-
sters and those that follow them
all go to Neon to relive a time
when spandex and legwarmers
were a good thing but you ll
probably see them in full force
even though their time has come
and gone.
If your music tastes tend to-
ward the top 40 and youve just
got to dance, theres always Liq-
uid, 806 W. 24th St.
When dancing gets tiresome,
a Two for Tues-
day buy one
get one f ree
night, or any
night for that
matter, at Lib-
erty Hall, 644
Massachuset t s,
is always a good
idea.
The movie
theatre shows
mostly art-house
fare and makes for a great date.
Liberty Hall is also a prime venue
for concerts, which arent always
21 and over.
But sometimes a drink is in
order. Beth Breitenstein, Over-
land Park junior, said if there was
one thing she missed about being
underage, its finding fun house
parties.
The student ghetto, the neigh-
borhood between Ohio and Ken-
tucky streets, might as well charge
a cover for
all the en-
t er t ai nment
a person can
get by just
walking the
streets on
a Saturday
night.
I can usu-
ally be found
at parties at
my f riends
places. Thats life when youre not
21, said Brady Blevins, Hutchin-
son sophomore.
When your time finally
comes
When the ID finally reads le-
gal, Lawrence becomes a Mecca,
full of watering holes and venues
to fit any taste.
The nightlife is concentrated
downtown along Massachusetts
Street, but there are bars all
around town where crowds can
disperse.
One area that deserves atten-
tion is not-so-widely known as
the Tennessee Triangle, or the
merry-go-round that is Bull-
Hawk-Wheel. These three drink-
ing establishments have become a
rite of passage for KU drinkers.
Its an experience to hang out
with all the f rat/sorority/begin-
ning college students. Its one
aspect of the college scene that
you know will be filled with KU
students that are excited to be
there, Beeson says.
Those wishing to avoid the
crowds these places accumulate
head downtown where there are
more places for the hordes to go.

Drinking in the bars is a popular activity among college students, but Lawrence offers
more weekend fun for students who either dont enjoy noisy bars or are under 21.

HOUSING
BY ADRIENNE BOMMARITO
Decorating a dorm room or apartment can
be a hassle. With all the pressures and stress
of moving, its easy to forget to buy important
items that will be missed later. After visiting
stores around Lawrence, the following lists
were compiled to help you remember all the
necessities that are typically forgotten.
FOR YOUR DORM ROOM
Besides the items suggested for dorm
rooms, such as carpet, rugs, desk, lamp, mi-
crowave and mini refrigerator, here are some
much needed, but commonly missed, ar-
ticles.

FIRST AID KIT
Fr e s hma n year brings
new exprei- ences
to students, i n -
cluding not
having Mom
around. A
rst aid kit
c ons i s t i ng
of bandages,
burn cream
and gauze
pads will help keep cuts and burns
clean and reduce infections and discomfort.
Price Range: $5 to $15 (depending on size
and contents)
CABLEZIPPER
A cablezipper is used to connect all the
cords from a computer. Instead of having
long strands of annoyance, a cablezipper
clasps all the cords together, making a neater
and more organized desk. With the small
space of a dorm room, there is no reason to
clutter it up with computer cords.
Price Range: $10 to $20
SPACE BAG
Used for not-in-season clothing, the
space bag vaccum seals its contents, then all
you have to do is roll it up and stow it. Te
vacuum seal allows a lot of material to be
smooshed together for small storage space.
SLEEP MASK
A sleep mask is imperative for those stu-
dents who cant sleep with a light on. When
sharing a dorm room, there will be times
when one roommate is studying late at night
while the other is asleep. A sleep mask will
help accommodate the roommates, so both
are satised.
POSTER STICKIES
Instead of living in boredom with plain
white walls, add some avor with posters and
pictures. However, to secure them to the wall,
you will need poster stickies. Poster stickies
will keep your decoration in place without
damaging the wall or poster.
SURGE PROTECTOR
Tis item is good for protecting your com-
puter if the electricity shuts o, and is a great
investment, even for life after the dorms. In-
stead of plugging the computer cords directly
into the wall, plug them into a surge protec-
tor and your technology will be safe.
BOOK LIGHT
Again, to avoid roommate disagreements,
purchase a book light for late-night studying
or reading. Book lights can be small enough
to clip onto the book, allowing for easy read-
ing wherever you are.
DORM ROOM ODOR ELIMINATOR
Found at Bed Bath and Beyond for $8.99,
the Gonzo Dorm Room Odor Eliminator is
denitely a must-have. It will eliminate odor
from left over food, athletic gear, refrig-
erators, mold and mildew and laundry bags.
Satisfaction is guaranteed.
DRYER BALLS
Tese reusable dryer balls soften fabrics
while cutting drying time in half. Te dryer
balls will come in handy cost wise, and with
a two-year life expectancy, it doesnt matter
how often you dry your clothes.
IRON AND BOARD
Two of the items many people forget
about until they need a wrinkle-free shirt,
an iron and board nearby will come in
handy.
Price Range: Iron $20 and up, Board $10
and up
FOR YOUR APARTMENT
Besides items already purchased for the
dorm room, and obvious items such as fur-
niture and dishes needed for an apartment,
here are some generally overlooked articles.

TOASTER
If you like toast, ba-
gels or toaster pastries
in the morning, or any
time, this is a must-
have for your kitchen.
For a quick and easy
breakfast or a late-
night snack, a toaster
will serve you well.
SHOWER CURTAIN AND HOOKS
Although this may seem obvious, many
people simply forget to buy one. A shower
curtain will give you your privacy and keep
your bathroom oor dry.
Price Range: Curtain $10 to $40, Hooks $2
to $10 for a set
VACUUM CLEANER
Now that you actually have an area to
clean, a vacuum cleaner will be benecial to
tidy up after a late-night rendezvous. Food
particles and mud will attempt to take over
your apartment, but your handy vacuum
cleaner will prevent that from happening.
Price Range: $30 and up
BLENDER
Now that you
have your own
kitchen, a blender
will be convenient
for making smooth-
ies and specialty
drinks. Temed
get-togethers, such
as Fiesta Night, will
need a blender for
those oh-so-tasty
margaritas.
Price Range: $20
to $100
VACUUM CLEANER
Now that you actually have an area to
clean, a vacuum cleaner will be beneficial
to tidy up after a late-night rendezvous.
Food particles and mud will attempt to
take over your apartment, but your handy
vacuum cleaner will prevent that from
happening.
Price Range: $30 and up
KITCHEN TRASH CAN
People remember to purchase a dorm
room trash can during freshman year, but
seem to forget to buy one for the kitchen
when they move into a house or apartment.
A kitchen trash can will be a convenience
and will help keep your kitchen sanitary.
DISH SCRUBBER
Having access to a kitchen is great be-
cause you can cook your own meals. But
what about the cleaning? A dish scrubber
comes in handy when washing the dishes by
hand, or to pre-wash before putting them in
the dishwasher.
CAN OPENER
While cooking in your own kitchen, a can
opener will be needed to open canned food
items such as corn or green beans. Tis is an-
other item people often overlook.
BROOM
Unless youve hired a maid to clean your
apartment, you will have to start doing it
yourself. A broom is an easy way to clean
up fallen particles from the oors of your
kitchen and bathroom.
ICE-CUBE TRAYS
For a cold glass of water after hours of
sweeping and vacuuming the apartment, ice-
cube trays are a necessity.
COFFEE MAKER
Whether its stay-
ing up late to study or
waking up at the crack
of dawn to start your
day, a coee maker is
helpful for getting your
daily doses of caeine.
Price Range: $20 and
up
Whether you are shop-
ping as a freshman moving into the residence
halls or as a rst-time apartment leaser, dont
forget these vital items that will help your
school year be as smooth as possible.

A Tursday favorite is Louises
Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts
St., where $1.75 Schooners tempt a
diverse crowd.
For some Irish luck, European
wannabes head to Red Lyon Tav-
ern, 944 Massachusetts St., for
imported brews and free popcorn.
And hip smokers fnd sanctuary at
Te Replay Lounge, 946 Massa-
chusetts St., with its large outdoor
smoking porch, pinball machines
and Pabst Blue Ribbon. Te possi-
bilities are almost endless.
Stay Classy
So Lawrence has a lot of bars.
But where can you take a date in
this town? Somewhere you dont
have to wrestle with crowds or
subject yourself to vomiting girls.
Tere are some places where a
little class can carry the night, if you
are willing to spend a little more for
your spirits. Te Bourgeois Pig, Six
E. Ninth St., provides quiet corners
for a cofee or glass of wine.
Its flled with free spirits and
open minds. Other bars are like a
meat market but at this bar, you can
be yourself, said Bourgeois Pig pa-
tron Vera Ackerly.
If wine is your pleasure, Quin-
tons Bar and Deli has wine nights
every frst and third Tursday of the
month.
Manager Greg Mann says it
gives people the opportunity to
dress up and do something unusual
for the night.
Quintons wine nights ofer a
taste of fve wines some red,
some white and a glass of your
favorite, all for $10.
Other places that can ofer a
bit of refnement to your nightlife
include Henrys On Eighth, 11 E.
Eighth St., Te Jayhawker at Te
Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts
St., and Tellers, 746 Massachusetts
St.
All are ideal for dates or nights
when you just cant stand the
thought of another Bud Light.
No matter your poison, Law-
rence delivers. From Massachusetts
to the student ghetto, students fnd
many diferent ways to drink or
dance themselves into oblivion.
