give a damn, scruffy-faced, just-rolled-
out-of-an-alley look. Both of which I pull
off exquisitely, by the way.
A family member once remarked that
at times I could blend in with the box seat
crowd drinking mint julips at the Kentucky
Derby, while other times I could fit in well
with the drunken, shirtless men playing
king of the hill with a half empty keg of
Natural Light in the center of the track. I
took it as a compliment.
Some see my style as a contradiction,
but I just consider myself a renaissance
man.
Ive realized over the years that my
closet contains enough of the basics to
afford me options. When I want to go out
for a night on the town, Ive got enough
flannel for The Replay and enough dress
shirts for Tonic.
This issue of Jayplay has several articles
on style that can help you with wardrobe
choices. Gabrielle Schocks feature on
page 8 offers five wardrobe essentials
for men and women, while Jennifer
DiDonatos story on page 11, gives helpful
tips for picking out classic hats.
While the end of winter has put me in a
fashion slumber, the beginning of spring is
waking up my style conscience, which is
asking me, Why the hell are you sleeping
in an alley? I thought we were through
with this.

Style. Everyone has it although some
might disagree with me. It just depends on
the person and what he or she is trying to
convey, or not convey.
Fashion, whether influenced by the cast of
Jersey Shore or death metal, can represent
ones personality to the world.
These days, when people talk about
fashion, Lady Gaga comes to mind. Whether
incubating in an egg or sporting horns fit
for Puck in A Midsummer Nights Dream
or Satan (whichever comparison works
best for you, stylish readers), she seems to
dominate headlines with her outfits, some
of which outrage critics and intrigue fans
alike. It dominates our commercial culture
down to the last Matthew McConaughey

I was once asked to describe my own
style. I thought for a moment and then said,

for a more sophisticated, elegant look, with

accompanying tie clip and perfectly coiffed
receding hairline, or I can go for the I dont JONATHAN HERMES | ASSOCIATE EDITOR

kansas in heat // LOW SEX DRIVE FRUSTRATIONS
a. Sex i s vi tal to a l ong-term, heal thy,
intimate relationship. A satisfying sex life
is touted as integral in the stimulation and
sustainability of a relationship. It sounds to
me like you adopt this way of thinking.
By i nvest i ng t i me i n l i ngeri e, porn,
etc., you show dedication to the sexual
relationship you share with your partner. In
an unfortunate twist of fate, your boyfriend
doesn t seem t o car e about sexual l y
satisfying you. Do you require a long-term
partner to invest his or her own emotions
and time into satisfying your needs? With
t he 110 percent gi ven t o hi m, does he
reciprocate with the same?
I never advocate cheating. How will that
benefit your relationship? You dont want
to cheat or leave. But why dont you want
to leave? The lack of sexual satisfaction is
a major problem; you are soliciting advice
for crying out loud. What is your partner
bringing to the relationship that outweighs
the issue into which you seem to invest
qui te a bi t of emoti on? Ul ti matel y, you
must decide if having no sex life with your
boyfriend is something you can accept.
Communicate to him the importance of
desi re, passi on, sti mul ati on and sexual
interest in your shared life together. If he
fails to attempt or fulfill your needs, then
I say get ri d of hi m. Pl enty of (sexual l y
interested) fish are in the sea.
// MICHELLE MACBAIN
Q. My boyfriend of over a year has lost almost all of his sex drive. Ive tried the typical
methods (lingerie, porn, alcohol, sexy messages/talk, etc.) to get him interested in sex
and have had less than a 20 percent success rate (which results in a 35 percent erection,
at best). He insists that there are no unresolved issues or problems, and that the interest
is there but physical desire is not. In spite of his lack of interest in sex, my libido is
through the roof and out of control. The question isnt whether or not to cheat or leave
its how can I get my guys battery recharged?
Mike Anderson, Dellwood, Minn. graduate student, and Michelle MacBain, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student,
are the hosts of Kansas in Heat, a talk show about sex and relationships that airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on KJHK,
90.7fm and at kjhk.org.
a. First of all, I think your boyfriend is missing
out. . . big time. What does he mean by not
having the physical desire? A loss in libido
usually has a lot to with stress. A loss of
desire could also stem from a poor diet, or
even medication. Perhaps something else in
his life is causing him stress, and hes afraid
to talk about it. As you have been going out
for a year, I doubt that his loss in libido stems
from any worry about his ability as a lover, or
his distaste for the sex you are having both
of those would have come up by now.
Here are a couple options to try:
#1 Tell him how good it makes you feel
when you have sex with him. Every guy loves
to hear either how good he is or how much
you want to have sex with him.
#2 Dont bring up sex for a while (as long as
you can go, anyway). Sometimes the absence
of it makes one realize how good they have it.
#3 Leave him. I know you said you didnt
want to, but if you have a talk with him about
it and he isnt listening or willing to meet you
halfway, then move on.
Sometimes libido differences cant be
worked out. Sexual satisfaction is a very
important part of a healthy relationship. Its
been a year now; ask yourself what really
makes you happy.

When I think about telling this story it lit-
erally makes me want to throw up. Its hard
to relive. Two years ago when I was living in
Battenfeld Scholarship Hall we were having
the annual Manliest Manly Man competition.
I had refused to participate because I thought
it was stupid, but people thought I could beat
the guy who had won the arm wrestling com-
petition two years running.
It was the championship round and we
were doing best two out of three. I had lost
the frst round, and in the second he had
my arm nearly pinned. I just kept telling my-
self, Dont lose, dont lose. The next thing
I know, I hear a big snap like a branch breaking
over somebodys knee. At the same time, I see
my arm fying back and forth and I realized that
I wasnt telling it to do that. Thats when I knew
it was broken.
I didnt feel a thing because there was so
much shock and adrenalin. Everyone but me
was freaking out. Their eyes got really wide and
about 30 guys looked like they were about to
puke. I starting cracking jokes to get them to re-
lax. I even joked with the kU police offcer that
showed up and asked if he could pistol-whip
me to knock me out. He said that was against
protocol.
When I got to the hospital I could feel the
bones grinding together inside my arm. Of
course they gave me lots of painkillers, so then
it felt like I was melting into the bed.
you know whats funny about the whole thing?
Two weeks before this all happened I was arm
wrestling and someone made the comment:
you know you can break your arm doing that.

ThaTs disgusTing // DUST MITES
> Dude...gross.
When you drift off to dreamland tonight,
odds are you wont be the only one in your
bed and it wont be because you just got
lucky. Thousands of dust mites could be
crawling around your pillows and mattress,
feeding on your dead skin cells as you catch
some Zs. Not only is this pretty unsettling
it can also be hazardous to your health.
Roxana Voica, an allergist at the Topeka
Allergy and Asthma Clinic, says studies
show that 98 percent of Kansas households
contain dust mites microscopic eight-
legged creatures that like to call bedding and
furniture their home, sweet home.
For some, dust mites cause an allergic
reaction similar to pollen, so a runny nose,
sneezing attacks, nasal congestion and
coughing are all common symptoms. These
Americans spend billions annually in
an effort to make running enjoyable. With
an $80 pair of shoes, a $200 iPod and a $60
heart-rate monitor you can spend hundreds
of dollars without breaking a sweat.
James Baker, Copell, Texas junior, didnt
need a monitor to know his heart wasnt into
his cardio routine, but a passion to exercise
left him searching for a solution. Baker still
has his running shoes, but they only make
it as far as the Robinson Center Pool locker
room. Running is boring and repetitive;
swimming allows you the ability to switch
strokes to vary workouts, Baker says.
Creepy crawlers: Dust mites like to cling to
bedding and aggravate allergies and asthma.

alternative if you sufer from Runners Knee.

symptoms can be annoying, but dust mites
also can cause more serious reactions among
some individuals. Voica says dust mites can
also complicate asthma, causing shortness of
breath, wheezing and the potential for asthma
attacks. Dust mites also can cause eczema to
become more severe.
Luckily, getting rid of these creepy, crawly
critters can be pretty easy. Leanna Wiley,
Overland Park senior, says she doesnt really
worry about dust mites because she washes
her sheets regul arl y. They re cl ean, so
hopefully theres some kind of buffer in that,
she says.
Thats exactly what Voica recommends. Dust
mites cannot survive in temperatures above 140
F, so individuals should wash all bedding in hot
water every 10 days. People should also dust
and vacuum frequently to remove dust mites
from the environment. More drastic measures

running, and is a great option if you suffer from
Runners Knee, a term used for disorders that
cause aching pain around the kneecap.
While swimming is easier on limbs and
joints, improper technique can result in injury.
Technique is everything in the water, Jane
Katz, doctor of education in gerontology, says.
Katz was a member of the 1964 United States
synchronized swimming performance team at
the Tokyo Olympics, and author of Swimming
for Total Fitness.
Katz suggests beginning swimmers attend
swim lessons to learn proper form. Adult swim
lessons are available through the Lawrence
Parks and Recreation Department, Lawrence
Swim School and a one-credit swim class
offered each semester through KU.
If you want a new exercise routine, or suffer
from a knee or ankle injury, the Robinson Center

pounds when she started exercising and
making healthy diet choices. She thinks that
there is an important social aspect to losing
weight. She believes that, especially for people
trying to lose weight for a specific event like
spring break, you need to resist going out with
your friends for fatty meals and alcohol. Youll
be enjoying tropical drinks and eating a lot
at the all inclusive resorts, so consider this a
short-term commitment so you can splurge a
little during spring break, Matthews says.
Peer pressure can sometimes be a hindrance
when trying to lose those last few pounds. Its
hard to resist going out for wings and beers
with your friends, but in the end, itll pay off.
Another easy way to shed some fab before
you hit the beach is to take a bottle of water
onto campus with you, instead of hitting up
the vending machines in the halls of Wescoe
before class. Miller, the personal trainer at the
Rec, says that drinking lots of water is vital, and
has multiple benefts. The best of these is that it
keeps you hydrated, which prevents your brain
from giving off false hunger pangs. It also
makes you look and feel less bloated, because
it fushes your system out, Miller says.

HEALTH
Its almost here. That glorious week when KU
students, along with 1.5 million other college
kids across the country, get to kick back and
forget about classes: spring break.
Many will be headed for tropical destinations
in faraway lands like Cabo San Lucas and
Cozumel . These off-the-cl ock Jayhawks
will relax in foldout beach chairs, enjoying
tropical drinks, taking in the warm sunlight and
frolicking on the beach.
In preparation for such frolicking, many of
those students have been racking up extra time
at the gym. After all, 150,000 students will be
vacationing in South Padre Island and 500,000
in Panama City alone, according to a study by
Online Schools. So it makes perfect sense that
spring breakers want to look their best.
I think about looking good and ft, Overland
Park senior Lindsay Santee, who is going to
Miami for spring break, says. I try to make
smarter choices, but I dont stress out about it
as much as other people.

Dangerous ChoiCes
With spring break only a couple days away,
you may be tempted to try a more drastic
alternative. I know quite a few people who
have been crash dieting for spring break,
Santee says.
Dont starve yourself, Bonnie Matthews,
a contributor and blogger for The Dr. Oz Show,
pursuing the elusive beach body
Break weight: When trying to shed pounds
before spring and summer trips, eating healthy
and working out are essential to your well-
being. Crash diets can be dangerous.

shape up for spring
says. Crash diets are often dangerous and
dont promote healthy eating or exercise
habits.
The idea of a perfect beach body is very
common, but perhaps equally dangerous. We
are bombarded by media telling us to look as
thin as possible and that usually means drastic,
unhealthy measures, St. Francis senior Sheryl
Miller, personal trainer, group ftness and yoga
instructor at the Ambler Student Recreation
Center, says. The truth is, they do not work.
According to Miller and Matthews, the
healthier alternative is to make small lifestyle
changes that will result in a healthier overall
routine. Though spring break is almost here,
these same changes can help you to develop a
hot beach body for summer.

DieT:
Beverages: Miller says that adjusting your
liquid intake can make a big difference. If you
drink regular pop, switch to diet. If you already
drink diet, switch to water. Regular pop is made
of liquid calories that dont fll you up, and diet
pop just dehydrates you.

Never Nevers: Matthews believes that
cutting out three foods that are high in sugar,
fat and calories is one of the easiest ways to
improve your overall diet. For her, cutting out
ice cream, sugar and pizza was a big help.
Its a great place to start, and wont leave you
feeling overwhelmed, Matthews says. I call
these my never never foods.
exerCise:
Weight training: Both Matthews and Miller
agree that adding just 30 minutes of weight
training is extremely important for a healthy
lifestyle. And with it comes a pretty great
advantage: muscle burns fat even when youre
just sitting in class.

Fight laziness: We all know that its better to
take the stairs than to take the elevator, but that
doesnt mean we always do it. By not allowing
yourself to cheat like this, you can burn off
easy calories. Unless youre injured or the
temperature is under twenty, try not to take the
bus, Miller says.

Life in generaL:
Being aware of everything youre putting into
your body is a good way to start to change
your routine, says Matthews. Many apps,
such as Calorie Counter and Diet Tracker,
are available for smart phones to help you
track not only what you ingest, but how many
calories it contains.

Get your beauty sleep: If your sleep schedule
is out of whack, the overall wellness of your
body will soon follow suit. This includes
those pesky hormones that tell your body to
hold onto fat in your midsection, Miller says.
small healthy choices
Here are more recommendations from St. Francis senior Sheryl Miller, a personal trainer at the Rec, and Bonnie Matthews from The Dr. Oz Show.
Fashion comforts: Building up a comfortable, essential wardrobe can
help with the decision-making process in the morning.Women can
pair dark jeans with fats and a nice shirt for a hip but classic look.
Man on the run: For college-aged men, it is important to have some basic essentials in the closet for a
nice dinner date on the town, or even just a casual look on campus. Spending more on a pair of dark
jeans will be worth the price. You can pair jeans with a nice pair of oxfords and a white dress shirt.

clean clothing is better, and I always have a
price-per-wear rule each time I go shopping.
If Im going to spend $100 on a pair of boots,
I should want to wear them everyday, not just
while going out.
Buying trendy clothes is exciting, but your
money might be better spent on classic clothing
pieces you could wear to a job interview, a nice
dinner or even to class. So if youre ready to
spend some cash to boost your wardrobe, here
are the fve items that should top your shopping
list. Men, youre up frst:
Men
I swear Ive met more people who dont
own a set of clothing that they can wear to a
nice event, Dylan Derryberry, fashion guide to
his friends and a sophomore from McKinney,
Texas, says. Even if its as simple as a pair of
khakis and a button-up shirt.
Derryberry is right. Most college men have
clothing that falls at two ends of the spectrum:
a suit for hitting the career fair once a semester
and athletic clothing that should only be worn

minutes to get dressed before you meet [insert
name of boyfriend or girlfriend here] for dinner.
You start frantically digging through your
closet for something to wear. Sweatpants? no.
Ripped jeans? no.
Its only now that you realize you have a
closet full of clothes, but nothing appropriate to
wear. Many college students have wardrobes
consisting of casual sweatshirts and jeans or
too-trendy graphic t-shirts and tank tops.
When we get dressed in the morning or for a
specifc event, these unnecessary clothes get
in the way of what were really looking to wear.
Avoiding the I-have-nothing-to-wear state
of mind is as simple as building your wardrobe
around only a few essentials.
The fashion world will always differ
between what is cool and beautiful, David
Lloyd, co-owner of Method, a clothing store
in Kansas City, Mo., says. But you do need
basics. Anything beyond that is crazy.
Lloyd says maintaining a good wardrobe
projects confdence, plus its economical,
something that Becca Sabates, Prairie Village
junior, always keeps in mind when she shops.
I think too many girls worry about the in piece
of clothing, Sabates says. I think classic,

3. Button-up shirt:
Like the male version, a button-up is a great
mix-and-match piece for any girls wardrobe.
Jessie Artigue, a Kansas City-based stylist and
fashion blogger, recommends fnding a button-
up that looks polished, but not too stuffy.
One thing that turns people off from button-
up shirts is that theyre too preppy,Artigue
says. You can prevent that by looking for one
that is still professional but maybe in draped
fabric or an interesting pattern.
4. Comfortable, but dressy heels:
A classic pump with a heel height of about
three inches is appropriate for any occasion,
Serrano, with Habitat Shoes, says. A simple,
black pump can be worn with numerous outfts,
but dont sacrifce quality or comfort for price
or style.
5. A pair of dark jeans:
No matter what style of jeans you prefer,
make sure to have at least one dark pair in your
closet. Theyre not only dressier than lighter
denim, but also slimming. A good pair of jeans
can be expensive, but remember Sabates
cost-per-wear rule: buying a $100 pair of dark
jeans is less intimidating when you consider
how often youll wear them.

White dress shirts look
good on just about
everybody.
> Kim Johnson Gross,
Author of What to Wear for the Rest of Your Life
American classics: A college campus is perfect for a
classic American wardrobe. Khakis matched with
a v-neck sweater creates a well-tailored look.

Spring style: Dark jeans are classy, slimming and
look good year round. Paired with a solid t-shirt
or nice button up shirt, you can add a bit of
elegance while walking to class.
Photo Illustration by Travis Young at the gym. So whats your closet lacking?

1. A pair of dark jeans:
Jeans will always be a casual necessity in
anyones wardrobe, but having at least one
dark-rinsed pair of denim in your closet is a
safe bet; youll be able to wear them not only
to class, but also out to dinner or to a casual
work event.
Gap, Urban Outftters and other stores
in Lawrence and Kansas City offer several
different styles of dressy denim, all of which
are reasonably priced. Jeans can become
pricey, though they might be worth it.
Ill buy other things at thrift stores, but
I think its worth the extra money to go some
place nice for jeans if Im going to wear them
often, Derryberry says.
2. A white or pinstriped button-up shirt:
White dress shirts look good on just about
everybody, Kim Johnson Gross, stylist and
author of the book What to Wear for the Rest of
Your Life. They look sharp and are versatile.
Balance out your t-shirt collection with a few
collared, button-up shirts. They can be white,
like Gross suggests, or have subtle stripes.
Either way, theyll look great paired with your
new dark jeans or a nice pair of khakis. No tie
required, too.
3. Khakis:
Sorry guys, but you cant wear jeans all the
time. Khakis are great for work, a dressed-
up dinner or, call me crazy, even wearing to
class.
Jeans and khakis are a staple of the
American wardrobe, Gross says. Wear them
with a button-up and sweater or even a nice
t-shirt.
Also, look for a pair that is pleat-free and
in a slightly darker color, which will help
prevent fading.
4. V-neck sweater:
A v-neck sweater is an essential layering
piece that not only looks good over shirts,
but also layered beneath a jacket. Its one
essential that Derryberry relies on nearly
everyday. A nice v-neck sweater over a
long-sleeve button up and dark jeans is
usually my go-to outft, he says.
5. A quality pair of shoes:
We always recommend a great pair of
leather oxfords for any guy, Gina Serrano,
owner of Habitat Shoe Boutique in Leawood,
says. These days, you can wear this style [of
shoe] with jeans and a sweater or slacks and
a sport coat.
A good pair of shoes can cost upwards of
$100, so make sure they ft and theyre
comfortable, says Serrano.
Women
I feel most comfortable buying reliable
things that I know Im going to wear often,
rather than trendy items, Amanda Allen,
Wichita junior, says.
Like Sabates, Allen also agrees that a girl
should have a set of classic clothing that,
when in a rush, can be thrown on quickly.
I have to wake up too early to make
any other decision on what Im wearing,
so I always have a pair of jeans and a cute
cardigan to throw on, Allen says.
So what should your go-to items be?
1. A versatile black dress:
The little black dress saying has been
around for years, but for good reason; a
versatile, black dress fts just about any
occasion. Emily Hunt, Topeka junior, says she
purchased a simple, cotton black dress from
Target and wears it about twice a week. Its
one of my favorite pieces, Hunt says. I can
wear it under tops, with a cardigan and belt or
even by itself. I love the versatility.
2. A structured, quality handbag:
A professional, not too stylish handbag
makes a great impression during job interviews.
In her book Nina Garcias Look Book, fashion guru
and Marie Claire fashion director Nina Garcia
says, Your bag should always go with your
ensemble and be neat. With that in mind,
look for a simple bag that is made of a quality
material, such as leather or suede, and free of
any logos.
Cheap ThRiLLs
You just learned what necessities should go
in your closet, but what about the fun stuff?
heres where to get those trendy items for a
good price:
Forever 21 // Ladies, this should be an
obvious choice. With several items costing
as low as $5, this store is a goldmine for
trendy shirts, dresses and even denim.
TargeT // For men, Target offers affordable
graphic t-shirts and plaid button-up shirts,
and the Target womens section is great for
trendy dresses or shoes at cheap prices.
ThriFT SToreS // Theres no better place to
fnd cheap, one-of-a-kind clothing than a
thrift store or secondhand shop. Lawrence
has several, including Arizona Trading
Company and Wild Man Vintage.

Doing without // sPEEDING
Three times a week, I plan to leave my
apartment at 7:25 a.m. and drive to Topeka,
where I work. At least once a week, however,
7:25 becomes 7:35, and Im running late. No
problem, I think I can make up that time
on the road.
Of course when I say make up that time,
Im giving myself the OK to speed. What if, for
a whole week, I didnt drive a single mile per
hour over the speed limit? This past week, I
found out.
When I dont speed, other drivers hate me

work. I slow to the posted speed limit of 20
when I go through the K-tag lane. An angry
driver slides up close to my tail, and I fght the
urge not to speed up.
But theres a reason why speeding is a bad
idea: it increases our risk of fatal accidents,
says Lieutenant Robert Baker of the Kansas
Highway Patrol. You have less time to react,
he says, and if you do react, overreaction is
much easier because youre going faster.
While a 5-mph-over-the-limit habit may not kill
you, Baker says youre still in danger of getting
ticketed.
Most of my driving week is nothing more than
an attempt to keep other drivers happy. Youd
like to pass this semi frst? Let me slow down
to 55 and wait until youre done. Itll take me at
least 10 minutes to get past him, anyhow. I no-
tice that speeders own the roads, and the rest
of us should just scoot over and shut up.

works best for you. Sometimes a look just

for you.

Youve seen them on Bruno Mars, Ryan
Reynolds, Mischa Barton and Taylor Swift.
Chances are youve seen your grandparents
sporti ng some i n ol d pi ctures, too. And
now those same classic, vintage hats are
reappearing on our very own campus: fedoras,
flatcaps, newsboys, cloche hats and berets,
just to name a few.
If you re an adventurous soul seeki ng
new headgear that can protect you from the
elements, fnish off your outft and fatter your
features, heres what you need to know before
embarking on your search.
Your outfit
Classic hats are not for every outft. However,
Michael Miller, owner of The Missing Piece hat
shops in Kansas City, Mo., says, You dont have
to have a suit on to wear a hat. So what do you
wear with a hat?
Obviously, you shouldnt wear a classic
hat with sweatpants, Brandy Stratton, sales
associate at Arizona Trading Company, 736
Massachusetts Street, says. You kind of have
to pull yourself together a little bit.
Stratton says youll also want to be sure your
hat coordinates with any colors and patterns
you may be wearing. For example, if youre
wearing a plaid newsboy, you wouldnt want to
wear a clashing plaid shirt with it, she says.
How you wear your hat can communicate
different looks as well. Miller says wearing the
brim up on a fedora creates a younger, preppy
look, while wearing the brim down gives off a
classier Sinatra vibe.
Hannah Roark, Stillwater, Okla., sophomore,
has been wearing classic hats since she was
six years old and always wears them at an
angle. I think theres a certain romance, a
certain Humphrey Bogart to it, Roark says.
You always feel like you could be in a trench
on a smoky street corner somewhere. And
I love that hats can reveal different parts of
your personality, so its always fun to fgure out
Find your Face shape
Jane Liddelow, professional image consultant, says that in order to know your hat type,
you must first know your face type. Heres a quick run down of common face shapes and
corresponding hat recommendations provided by Liddelow and Brett and Kate McKay, authors
of The Art of Manliness:
oblong This face shape is long and narrow. The face is widest at the
forehead and then tapers down to the chin. Look for hats with low crowns and
wide brims to cut length.
oval An oval shape is very similar to oblong, except the forehead is
narrower, so that the cheekbones are the widest part of the face. Because
of the ovals natural symmetry and proportion, most hats look good on this
face shape.
round This face shape looks just like it sounds. The chin tends to be
smaller with no clearly defined jaw line. Try high crowns, medium brims
and asymmetrical styles to give the illusion of length.
square The square face is similar to the round, but with a clearly defined,
square jaw line and hairline. Find hats with round crowns and wider brims
to avoid a boxy appearance.
heart Heart-shaped faces are similar to round and square face shapes,
except with the defining features of a narrow chin and a widows peak
hairline. Heart shapes also look good in most styles, just so long as the
brim is not too wide. Otherwise the chin will appear too narrow.
how to choose the right one For you
Flashback fashion: Classic, vintage hats provide new campus trends. Depending on face shape, men
can wear fatcaps (left) and women can wear cloche hats (right) for an update on classic cap styles.

CLASSIC
HATS
which hat is you that day.
Josh Lucas, Olathe freshman, frequently
dons a newsboy hat because it matches his
self-described urban-antique-19th century
look. Pay attention to what youre wearing and
make sure that its you, Lucas says. If a t-shirt
and a top hat is your thing, then thats cool.
Your face shape
Brett and Kate McKay, authors of The Art of
Manliness, write about mens fashion. They say
for any face shape, the goal in choosing a hat
is to achieve balance. If you have a long face,
then a high-crowned hat will lengthen it even
more. If you have a round face, a low-crowned
hat will make your face appear wider.
In order to achieve balance, long faces are
better off sticking with shorter crowns, which
cut face length, while round faces are better
suited with higher crowns, which add length.
The McKays also point out that knowing your
face shape can influence how you wear your
hat. If you have a long face, then wearing a
fedora back and at an angle can expose more of
your forehead, elongating your face even more.
However, wearing it straightforward, just above
the eyes keeps the face length in proportion.
If you have a round face, then wearing a hat
straightforward can make your head look even
smaller. Wearing it back or to the side exposes
some of your forehead, creating the illusion of
more length in your face.
Whatever your face shape, the McKays say
the bottom line is symmetry. Observe how the
hat dimensions work with the dimensions of
your face and seek balance.
Your shopping strategY
Miller of The Missing Piece hat shops
suggests bringing a friend, sibling or signifcant
other with you to offer opinions when trying
on hats. He says customers are usually more
confident about purchasing a hat when a
loved one comes with them and gives positive
feedback.
Knowing your size helps, too. Miller says you
can fnd it by measuring the circumference of
your head just above your ears. If you dont
know your specifc size, just make sure that the
hat fts snugly, but not too tight, otherwise you
wont want to wear it for long.
Stratton of Ari zona Tradi ng Company
suggests trying on a variety of hats to fnd what

Extra-terrestrial education: Te UFO Rehawkvik
Summit at Liberty Hall this weekend will feature
presentations by many UFO experts.
Contributed photo
This is real, Daniel Lauing says over and
over as we sit in the Union discussing the
upcoming UFO Reyhawkvik Summit at Liberty
Hall. Our interview is a blur of abduction
stories and extra-terrestrial encounters.
Lauing is a KU alumnus and lead organizer
of the summit. The event, composed of
lectures on March 18, 19 and 20, is, according
to Lauing, not about entertainment, but
education.
A bevy of UFO experts will speak at the
summit. Among them are, Robert Salas, a
researcher and UFO witness, Richard Dolan,
a scholar and UFO historian, and Stanton T.
Friedman, a nuclear physicist and lecturer.
The summit is a personal victory for
Lauing, who attempted to host a UFO event
at KU, only to be rejected not that he was
surprised. He calls this censorship.
Lauing is certain in his convictions, and his
stories are intriguing. When people make
jokes about this, I think its because they have
fears, he says.
Whether for fear or fascination, you can
join some of the most reputable names in
ufology and draw conclusions of your own.
The presenters are some of the best known in
their felds worldwide, and I am sure they will
have very compelling stories, Rob Fitzgerald,
events manager at Liberty Hall, says. I think
its going to be a great symposium that asks as
many questions as it answers.

$45.50.

youre not a professional runner. youve
never run track or cross-country. yet you fnd
yourself on a treadmill at the Rec, sneaking
peeks at the runners next to you, trying to
copy their form.
Madison Oller, eudora freshman, who has
run 5Ks and 10Ks and runs at the Ambler
Student Recreational Center three times a
week, admits, I probably dont have the best
form.
Professional runner Mike Sayenko of Se-
attle says that whether you run for compe-
tition, fun or ftness, proper running form is
essential. Imagine doing something wrong
thousands of times over and over youre
probably going to get hurt, Sayenko says.
Run relaxed: Running with proper form allows
you to save energy and run faster.
Photo by Jennifer DiDonato
Also, youre more effcient with proper form.
youll run faster because youre saving ener-
gy.
Heres what Sayenko says you need to know
about proper running form:
Stay Relaxed. Running with a stiff neck and
shoulders can occur when you start getting
tired. The tension can slow you down during
your run and cause pain afterward.
Keep your knees, heels and toes up. Other-
wise, your strides get smaller and you start to
slow down. The less amount of ground contact
your feet have, the faster you run.
Stay aligned. A common mistake is swinging
your hands across your body, which wastes en-
ergy. Instead, run as straight as possible. Keep
your arms and legs aligned with your body. your
elbows should be bent at about 90 degrees and
your hands should be relaxed as you swing
them from your hip to your heart.
Sayenko says to keep these tips in mind and
make adjustments as you go.
Who knows? Next time you run, you may fnd
some aspiring runners sneaking peeks at you.

A bottle of wine can make an ordinary din-
ner more romantic, or give a Saturday night
more sophistication. But what happens when
youve got the wine but no corkscrew?
curtis oHearn has been in this situation
twice. The Wichita senior tried to open the
wine bottle by breaking its neck over a con-
crete stair. The frst time I did it this way it
worked perfectly, oHearn says. But the
other time failed miserably and the bottle
shattered halfway down.
Here are some tips from Alycia Futrelle,
Wine Macgyver: Impress your friends with your
wine opening skills the next time you fnd
yourself without a corkscrew and a full bottle.
Photo by Gabrielle Schock
an employee at on the rocks liquor store, 1818
Massachusetts St.:
Coat Hanger Technique:
everyone has a wire coat hanger in their
closet, Futrelle says. Its perfect for making
your own cheap corkscrew.
Straighten out a wire coat hanger. Then, with
the help of pliers, twist it around a screwdriver
shaft until it forms a coil shape. Using your new
corkscrew, screw it into the cork as you nor-
mally would. Pull out the cork slowly.
Screw and Hammer Technique:
Another technique that Ive heard of using
is to use an actual screw to remove the cork,
Futrelle says. You have to be careful though,
because the screw could become stuck.
Using a long screw with deep grooves, twist
it into the cork until its embedded about half an
inch. Take a hammer, and with the nail-pull end,
pry the cork out of the bottle.
With these tips, hopefully youll avoid broken
glass, spilled wine or worst of all, an un-smooth
moment in front of your friends.

with Jones basset hound and band manager,
Colonel Waylon T. Cogburn, leading the

I wish he would howl so wed have backup

The guitar and banjo-playing partners,
along with a bassist and washboard player,

I made it up, but by God, thats our genre,
Jones says. We have set chord progressions,
but in the end were making up most of it as

Inspired by Johnny Cash and Marshall

bluegrass come through in their music, but
they dont play their instruments the way they
were intended. I tape party poppers onto my

> Get it while its haute.
Spring is almost upon us, and as the winter
months come to an end, an annual ritual occurs
in bedrooms across America: warm, winter
staples are put into the closet to make way for
light, airy attire. Ski coats and feece are the
most obvious items that will be stowed away.
Boots and sweatshirts wont be too far behind
them.
While you more than likely wont use those
items during the sunny months, you should
seriously consider transitioning a piece of
so-called winter clothing to spring the
blazer. This item, consistently used to dress up
an otherwise casual outift, or used as a chic
alternative to sweaters and feeces, usually
gets stuffed away in the winter bin.
Not so fast, though. Beige and white blazers
can easily pass back and forth between the
seasons, but black sometimes gets the boot
prematurely. Instead of waiting another six
months to wear it, keep it around. A blazer can
easily spruce up a t-shirt and shorts combo
(casual or formal) and can add an elegant touch
to white, brightly-colored or foral print dresses.
The combinations of looks that one can create
with blazers are virtually endless.

The Mystic Roots Band is a hardworking
and hard-partying reggae band from northern
California that recently released a new album
called Cali-HI. MRB is led by a man named
Cootdog who tries to spread his message of
loving life, how amazing Cali is and avoiding
most illegal substances.
According to Cootdog in his track lifestyle,
ever since birth he was given ambition plus
the gift of spittin and uses this combo to tour
extensively in California and release albums
to spread his message. MRB created their
own label called Stay Positive Productions to
release their own albums and merchandise.
This allows the band to do their own promoting
and also gives them full power over releasing
songs exactly how and when they want to
release them.
The sound that they create fts in well
with other California reggae acts like Slightly
Stoopid and Sublime, although they are not
quite as immediately exciting.
Several great tracks are on this album. one
song called Work 2 Dub includes MlK and
obama samples and a relentless groove. The
track $100 Bag is one of the fastest songs on
the album and proudly talks about the economic
benefts of selling weed. one truly roots-reggae
track, Blessings, features Pato Banton, who
drops a sweet verse at the end of it. however,
the best songs on this album all feature Zion
Thompson. his love song, Something About A
Girl, will make you remember why reggae is for
lovers not fghters.
