knew that the only thing awaiting us was
imminent death. Chill out! Sheridan said,
rolling her eyes. She thought I was being
too dramatic about the situation, and she
got hers when we crawled through the
werewolf tunnel a couple minutes later.
About 15 minutes in, and right before
the exit, my worst fears came true like I
knew they would. A masked man looming
over us cackled and growled while holding
nothing else but dun dun duuuuun! a
chainsaw. I clutched Sheridans arm like I
would never see daylight again it didnt
matter that the chainsaw had no chain on
it, rendering it completely harmless. It was
the idea of the matter. I screamed again,
but this time I couldnt be silenced and
ran out of the barn. (If theres one thing
Ive learned from the movies, its to run
because even if you dont youre probably
going to die, so why not be proactive?) To
read about real hauntings in Lawrence,
check out Ashleys article on page 13.
Once Sheridan finally made it out of the
place, her arm decorated with my fingernail
indentions, I was still shaking. Ive never
been to another haunted anything. Now I
know that scary can only happen in a
controlled environment where there is a
boy holding your hand.

Some people love getting thrills from
haunted houses. I am not one of them. I
went to my first haunted house when I was
10 years old. I dont remember much of the
experience, as Ive successfully blocked
it from my memory. but I do recall the last
haunted house I went to a few years ago,
and how it inspired me to never go back.
I was 17 years old, standing outside the
haunted barn in Altoona, kan. with my best
friend Sheridan. we were waiting for the
group in front of us to go in. I was anxious for
our turn, wondering why anyone would pay
to be scared half to death, including myself.
Its fine, I thought, imagining how I could
even drive down a country road when it was
dark outside. I knew it would be fine as long
as the spooky barn was void of the most
horrifying thing of all: a chainsaw. (Texas
Chainsaw Massacre made me irrationally
afraid of meat lockers and electric saws.)
As we walked into the eerily transformed
barn, someone reached through the sheets
hanging over the walls and grabbed my
arm, eliciting a loud shriek thats when I

in Washington d.C. when you could still buy Cds. i played that record out
and i stand by it to this day.
it was salt-N-pepa. i wanted to be them so bad. i was way too young to
get my hair shaved on the side, but i did it anyway and got in trouble. i
was just doing salt-N-pepa.
my frst four jobs were as janitors at elementary schools in Topeka. i would shampoo heads for my mom at her beauty shop in Atlanta. i got
$5 a head.
i love drizzy. he shuts it down like computers. i think hes really dope. hes a great songwriter. hes both hip-hop and
r&b. he mixes it together really well. hes extremely melodic with his
hooks. i think hell be around for a good minute.
i hope to go on tour with the bear Club boys next year. bear Club is my
company. i am the lead provocateur. We release music and do events.
We also design this and that, and generally just get buck.
i hope to get a No. 1 single and continue to grow my fan base. im looking
forward to taking being an independent artist and the boss bitch music
movement to the next level.

catch of the week // Molly Iler
> Our weekly peek at a fsh in the KU sea.
Interests & hobbIes: I like to watch
movies, play with my dog, go to the Sandbar
with friends and travel. I also really like to
drive (too fast) while listening to really
loud music.
notIces fIrst In a potentIal
partner: Height and eyes, obviously, and
the way he treats strangers. Then, forearms.
I know its weird, but theres something
about it.
turn ons: Confdence is a big one, but not
cockiness. Its a fne line. A sense of humor
is also really important. Motivation, positivity,
and style are good, too. I look for a guy who
can be his own person and who carries
himself well.
turn offs: A bad attitude, shyness, bad
driving, peanut allergies and any kind of
substance addiction. Bad grammar is a no-
no. I have also been known to say a love for
Star Wars is a deal-breaker, but
thats negotiable.

why Im a catch: Im really independent
and Im a good mix between a girlie girl and a

you), but Ill make you laugh!

Q. Why do I sometimes lose my erection when I

by the tightness of the condom. The good news
might be your penis is too big for regular con-
doms. Try different-ftting condoms to see if
your erection issues persist. Her pleasure or

of the penis. If you still lose your erection, try
putting on the condom during foreplay. Have
your partner put your condom on for you. This
might be more arousing than stopping and
putting a condom on.
As far as double bagging (or putting two
condoms on) goes its never a good idea.
The rubbing of latex on latex can cause the
condom to break or tear. It is also likely for
you to lose your erection when using two
condoms. The majority of people use two
condoms to dull the sensation and last lon-
ger, but ejaculatory control condoms have a
numbing agent on the inside to help dull the
sensation.

Dressed in pink, GirlProv, an all-female

with the help of audience suggestions and their
own imaginations. Improv is all about being
in the moment, says Jackie Koester, group
member and Hoisington senior.
The troupe formed a year ago when GirlProv

short-form, which resembles the TV show
Whose Line Is It Anyway? Long-form develops
one scene for 30 minutes to an hour.
GirlProvs members are Maggie Cargill,

Ill., junior, says draw and create your own
silhouette in Photoshop. Tape the stencil to
the side of your pumpkin. Take a fork and make
holes around the stencil. When you pull it off, it
leaves a guide for you to cut. When cutting, start
from the center. Use smaller knives to carve out
details.
Carved pumpkins only last about fve or six
days, Schaake says. To add a festive aroma,
Schaake says to sprinkle cinnamon around
the rim of the pumpkin lid. Finally, admire your
spooky, Halloween decoration by putting a lit
candle or battery-powered light inside.

Go beyond the simple jack-o-lantern this
Halloween and carve a scary masterpiece.
Janet Schaake, owner of Schaakes
Pumpkin Patch, 1791 N. 1500 Rd., says to
look for a bright orange pumpkin that is hard
and frm, without any bumps, which makes
carving tougher.
Carve your pumpkin on a solid table
covered in newspaper. For carving tools you
can buy kits at the store, but Schaake says
serrated knives or sheet rock knifes work well
for cutting, and spoons work to clear out the
insides.
To reach inside, cut a hole around the stem
large enough to ft your hand and a candle
inside. Remember to cut a wedge in the circle
so you know how the lid fts. Start digging out
the guts, removing all the slime.
After scraping for 30 minutes, Kelli Klecan,
Topeka freshman, fnally had her pumpkin
cleared. I forget how much work carving
pumpkins takes, she says. The whole
process can take up to two hours.

Dreaming occurs in both rapid-eye movement
(REM) and non-REM stages of sleep throughout
the night.
Cory Allnutt, supervisor of the Sleep Disorders
Center in Olathe, Kan., says dreams during REM
sleep are built around a plot, but dreams during
non-REM sleep are more like Deja Vu. Dreaming
about losing your keys would be an exmple of
a dream during non-REM sleep, Allnutt says. A
nightmare would occur during REM sleep.
Although nightmare-type dreams can
negatively affect our day, they are a necessary
part of life. Dreaming is restorative and allows
us to get rid of stress and emotions, Allnutt
says. If you didnt dream, all of those negative
things would build up.

Verdict: Good for you!
Jenna Brunswick often struggles to stay
awake during school. She says she blames
her tiredness on dreaming. I have a lot of
crazy nightmares and they always wake me
up during the night, says Brunswick, Kansas
City, Mo., junior.
Dreams affect how our bodies function.
Denise Sooter, clinical director at PM Sleep
Lab in Derby, Kan., says getting the right
amount of dream sleep is important. Excessive
dreaming can cause fatigue, but fragmented
sleep, usually caused by nightmares, can
leave you feeling depressed.

Andrew Chavez loves to go out and drink
with his friends, but he usually hates the way
he feels the next day. Having a hangover is
the worst. It makes everything I do the next day
so much harder, says Chavez, ulysses, Kan.,

Chavez isnt the only one who suffers from
hangovers. A 2006 study from National College

Ku students reported using alcohol between 10
and 29 days a month. Luckily, there are certain

unwanted hangover.
Kara Schwerdt, a bartender at 23rd Street
Brewery, 3512 Clinton Parkway, says drinks
with minimal amounts of sugar are your best
bet to avoid a hangover. Sugar dehydrates
the body and makes it diffcult to tell how
much alcohol you are consuming. Schwerdt
recommends drinking a vodka soda. The key
is to limit how many you drink, she says. The
body can only metabolize one standard drink
per hour.
Rachael Cooley, a bartender at Tellers,
746 Massachusetts St., suggests sticking to
clear alcohol and drinks that contain vitamin
B12. Alcohol absorbs your bodys vitamin
B12 as you are drinking, so when you have
a hangover you also have a vitamin B12
defciency, Cooley says. She says a Tequila
Sunrise is high in vitamin B12 and will help
minimize your chances of a hangover.

wakes it up. Think about taking a walk for fve
minutes or sitting outside instead of gulping
down a Red Bull, he says.
Katie Flippo, Wichita freshman, likes the focus
the outdoors brings. I sit outside because it is
quieter. I am more relaxed and can concentrate
on studying, she says.
Science verifes the positive effect nature
has on people. At the University of Michigan in
2008, Marc Berman, a postdoctoral research
fellow, did a study to test how nature affects
college students. Groups of students took a
50-minute walk along nature corridors or busy
urban areas. While walking in their respective
environments, the students were asked to
remember numbers. The results showed that
the students who walked through the urban
areas had no mental improvement, while the
students who walked through nature improved
by 20 percent. Berman says no matter the
weather or how much the participants enjoyed
the walk, the students who walked through
nature always showed improvement, even if
they were tromping through snow.
Berman says this happens because our brain
has two different types of attention: direct and
involuntary. Direct attention means the mind
suppresses distraction and focuses in on one
thing, causing mental fatique. Involuntary
attention is activated by environmental factors
such as a loud noise. The events we have no
control over automatically capture attention
and dont fatigue the mind. This is how nature
plays a role in campus. Every stick that snaps
or brightly colored leaf that falls automatically
captures our attention, not fatiguing our already
worn out bodies and minds.
The psychological impact of campus is
planned by architects. Kenneth Rupp, landscape
architect at the University of Michigan, says all
parts of campus should be functional. Campus
is planned to serve a higher purpose than be
pretty, he says. Speed and effciency are
factored in on sidewalk design, and the open
spaces should be used for activities such as
studying and relaxing. When campuses are
under pressure to develop, every square inch
becomes even more important.
Because every tree, fower, path and bench
has a function, Richard Dober, senior consultant
at Dober Lidsky Mathy, a campus planning frm
More than just
a pretty caMpus
Acres and Weaver Court at Spooner Hall were
all designed for students to enjoy.
KU landscape architect Peg Livingood helps
perserve campuss natural beauty amidst
pressures to develop the land. In the 2008
Campus Heritage Plan, the University outlined
how campus will continue to grow while
maintaining the tradition of open spaces, which
encourage connecting with nature, Livingood
says. Open space on campus is important
because many students dont experience much
nature. They spend a majority of their day
inside.
The nature woven throughout campus can
help students with more than relaxation. Nature
helps present awareness and mindfulness,
says Neil Christensen, a licensed psychologist.
All of our senses engage in nature. We hear,
smell, touch, taste and see every detail of our
surroundings. This whole body sensing brings
on a calm state. In those moments, the mind has
time to refect and probe deeper into feelings
and thoughts.
As a counselor for Outback, a wilderness
therapy center for teens in Utah, Christensen
has learned that nature can help a person
connect with themselves. In the hustle of our
high tech world, nature pulls us away from
texting every two minutes or honing in on our
favorite television show. We get so absorbed in
technology, we miss out on whats around us,
Christensen says. When you blast music from
your headphones, you miss the subtle sounds of
the wind whistling or birds chirping. If you walk
across campus and never glance up from your
text message, youll miss the row of red tulips
just starting to bloom.
Though long periods of time outside can
deepen your connection with nature and allow
more self-refection, any time spent outside,
whether sitting under a tree or walking to
and from class, can help with stress, anger,
depression or anxiety.
Christensen, who is also a 2008 graduate,
says students can enjoy nature while they
work. He remembers spending hours by Potters
Lake reading textbooks or fnishing papers.
Incorporating nature into activities can place
a persons mind at ease, he says.
While experiencing nature a person has a
greater ability to think. The touch of nature
brings the whole body into the activity and

Tucked under a tall maple tree on Stauffer-
Flint Lawn, the pink and yellow stripes of Sydney
Silversteins blanket rest against the green
blades of grass. In the natural light of the mid-
morning sun, she reads her anthropology book
shoes fipped off and sipping an iced coffee.
There is something nice about outside, says
Silverstein, a graduate student from Sleepy
Hollow, N.Y.
As the breeze futters the wisps of Silversteins
dark, curly hair across her forehead, she feels
what landscapers and psychologists call a
connection with nature. Though Silverstein
doesnt know the history or science behind
that feeling, she embraces it. Amidst the chaos
and stress of college life, stopping to watch the
leaves fall could be just what the psychologist
ordered. The KU campus was designed with
that in mind.
The Universitys natural features, including
trees lining Jayhawk Boulevard, Potters Lake
and Marvin Grove, were built into the 1,000
acres of campus from its beginnings in the
1870s. The open lawns in front of Stauffer-Flint,

Au naturale: Te natural beauty of KUs campus isnt just for looks: it also helps students relax be-
tween classes, do homework on the spacious lawns and soak up the sun. If youre feeling stressed,
check out the open area in front of Watson Library, the wooded Marvin Grove or the hill beside
Potter Lake.
Jp
in Massachusetts that assists colleges with
campus development, says campus is an art
form that should be appreciated. Having helped
plan nearly 4,200 campus landscapes around
the world, Dober says each campus offers
different features. At the University of Miami
the campus features palm trees, in Normam,
Okla., monuments grace the grounds, and at
New England colleges the range of seasons
flters through the landscape.
KU alumni remember the beauty of the
changing seasons on campus, says Marion
Paulette, another landscape architect at KU.
The leaves drift to the ground, soon snow will
arrive and the blossoms of spring will emerge
in April.
Fall reminds Jaime Andrews, 2008 graduate,
of walking across campus, watching trees drop
their leaves. Depending on the weather, Jaime
says she would dip her feet in the Chi Omega
fountain or relax under her favorite tree: a
tilted, old walnut tree in Marvin Grove.
The natural, historic landscapes on the KU
campus continue to offer memories and daily
escapes for students.
While Silverstein sits on her brightly colored
blanket propped up against a tree, she feels
the refreshment brought by the outdoors. The
rustling leaves and warm sunlight offer her
more than just a pretty campus.

What its like // to bartend for the first time
> We know youre curious ...
Ive been working there for two years, but
tonight is different. Tonight I wont be working
my way through the packed crowd, carrying a
tray of shots. drunken people wont nudge me
from all sides as I annoy them with my salesman
strategies. Hey do you want a quick shot? Its
just a dollar.
at frst I enjoyed it, but being a shot girl at the
Hawk is a lot of work, and I only made $60-$70 a
night. Those shots dont sell themselves.
Tonight is my frst night to put my limited bar-
tending skills to the test.
By 10:30 p.m. Im behind the main bar. The
place is packed. Im used to that. Im just re-
lieved to have this bar as a barrier between
me and the crowd.
my biggest fear is that Ill break a bottle. Im
not used to my shaky hands. But Im too busy
to think about my nerves.
Customers fght for my attention, reaching
over the bar and waving their money into my
workspace.
make me your favorite shot!
strong or sweet?
strong.
One Washington apple, coming right up.
I mix together whiskey, cranberry juice and
apple Pucker, then add a splash of sprite.
The night goes by so fast, and I make mis-
takes. I get the tonic and sprite mixed up about
fve times when making gin and tonics or gin
and sprites. Whenever I make this mistake I
quickly throw it away and start again, not al-
lowing the customer to see what I did wrong.
When the bar closes Im exhausted. my
back hurts. my hands are sticky. I look down
and notice I have cranberry juice all over my
white shorts. after I collect $120 in tips, Im
ready to grab a slice of Wheel Pizza and call
it a night.

He isnt certain who the ghosts are, but he is
positive they arent harmful.
There isnt any negative energy in The
Eldridge Hotel, Porter says. Everything in
there has unfnished business, but its all real
positive.
one orb looked like a redish burst of electricity
that came out of the middle of the ceiling and
shot off to the right side of the room while others
fashed like frefies. I havent seen an orb like
this in all my years, Porter says. People might
say its creepy but I see it as exciting.
had to see it to believe it. He looked at the chair
and there was somebody sitting in it smoking a
pipe, Longhurst says.
The desk clerk never went downstairs again,
but there are others who seek that sort of scare.
A lot of people specifcally ask to stay in room
506, Longhurst says. Other people say put me
anywhere but 506.
Room 506 is deemed the most haunted room
in the hotel because the original cornerstone
remains there. Guests have reported fashing
lights, drawers mysteriously opening and faulty
elevator activity.
Theyll push B for basement and the elevator
goes up to the ffth foor. The doors open and
nobody is there, Longhurst says.
In 1989, someone took a picture of the lobby
and spotted a ghostly man in the elevator after
the photo was developed. The photo still sits
on the front desk of the hotel. If The Eldridge is
haunted, Longhurst hopes it is haunted by the
ghost of the founder.
I like the legend that Col. Eldridge cares so
much for his guests that hes keeping an eye on
the property, Longhurst says.
Vincent Porter, a paranormal investigator,
brought his company, Unfnished Business, to
The Eldridge on Oct. 13, hoping to settle some
business with the other side. During the fve-
hour investigation he used electromagnetic feld
detectors, infrared cameras and digital voice
recorders to scan for high voice frequencies.
The frequencies are beyond human ears,
Porter says. The digital voice recorder gives
us a helping a hand in capturing a conversation
with another entity.
After playing back the voice recorder, he
heard three different voices on tape. Porter
also captured three energy orbs in the Crystal
Ballroom and one in the Big Six Room. He says

Meredith Laurie sips her drink, enjoying
martini night at The Eldridge Hotel. Located
on the most historic corner in Kansas, 701
Massachusetts St., the site dates back to the
Civil War and, little does Laurie know, there may
be more than just physical people around her.
I had no idea The Eldridge was haunted,
Laurie, Plano, Texas senior, says. I think it adds
to the atmosphere. The idea that The Eldridge
houses non-living guests isnt new. The rumors
are almost as old as the original building, The
Free State Hotel.
In 1855, the New England Emigrant Aid
Society built the hotel, wanting Kansas to enter
the union as a free state. Pro-slavery sheriff
Sam Jones burned down the hotel one year
later. Colonel Shalor Eldridge not only rebuilt
the hotel, but added a foor of rooms, promising
to make the hotel bigger every time it was torn
down. Seven years later, confederate leader
William Quantrill and his raiders burned the
hotel, and the city of Lawrence, to the ground.
Col. Eldridge quickly restored and renamed
the hotel. The Eldridge Hotel thrived until the
building was converted into apartments in
the 1960s.
Current general manager David Longhurst
says his grandmother lived in the hotel when it
was the Eldridge House apartments. He helped
turn the building back into a hotel in 1986. The
most recent multi-million dollar renovation took
place in 2005, but the original ceiling, pillars
and foors remain. We brought it all back,
Longhurst says.
He may have even brought back Col. Eldridge.
The Colonels chair sits in the basement near an
old elevator shaft, and Longhurst says it doesnt
collect dust no matter how many cobwebs form
around it. A few years ago, a front desk clerk

I roll over, crushing the crumpled tissues
that cover the better half of my bed. I look at
the clock its three in the afternoon. the
glowing red letters cast a glare in my shaded
room. I sit up and rub my eyes, which sting from
a combination of crying and a lack of sleep.
I push my messy, unwashed hair out of my
face and throw off the covers. I shuffe to the
bathroom and fick on the light. two days before
I would have been using that mirror to make
sure my lip-gloss looked okay. now I stare at
my dissipated appearance. the bags under my
eyes seem permanent and my skin is drained of
all color. I had crashed. My boyfriend broke up
with me two days before. I couldnt believe this
was how my senior year in college was going
to be: lonely.
he had just graduated from the United States
Military Academy and jetted off to Europe for a
brief two-week vacation before he had to report
to ft. Benning, Ga. he chose to end our two-
year relationship because we were headed in
different directions. he was going to be a young
offcer in the army while I fnished my senior
year at KU. he was considering staying in the
army longer than he had originally planned
and I wasnt ready to sign my life over. I never
thought he would actually end things, especially
over the phone.
When we started dating, I promised myself
I wouldnt become one of those girls who
thought their lives were over once their
relationships were. But the day he broke up with
me I felt like I was 16 all over again. I laid under
a pile of covers as my mom tried to tell me I only
had one day to feel sorry for myself. You dont
know what this feels like. no one understands
me, I tried to scream. I had lost my voice from
sobbing. All I cared about was how now I would
never get married, and I certainly wasnt going
to have kids.
Ill be honest: I, like every other girl enamored
with her boyfriend, thought my relationship was
invincible. Sure couples break up all the time,
but that would never happen to me. I told myself
I would move on as quickly as possible. But
what I thought was moving on with my life was
really just burying my hurt.
Since we broke up this past summer I was
home in Atlanta, going out every weekend,
drinking away my sorrows and pretending
I didnt hate my life. I tried not to think or talk
about him. When I went out with friends without
thinking about him, I thought I was completely
over him. this is great, I would tell my friends,
who, now that I think about, knew I wasnt
healing at all.
When I wasnt washing down my misery
with a cheap shot of vodka I was working
out. the best revenge is looking good, I told
myself. What did I plan on showing him? look
asshole, I can lose weight because you made
me miserable. take that. I guess I forgot that
we never saw each other, even though he used
to come to Atlanta when he wasnt training at ft.
Benning. I was hungry and cranky, which didnt
help anyone.
Id hear from my ex-boyfriend in random
spurts. Im sorry how all this happened. I
cant just cut you out of my life. Do you have
my favorite jacket? I didnt answer him all
summer, and was proud of myself. I also felt
fattered. While I was telling everyone I didnt
think about him anymore, clearly he still thought
about me, which meant he still cared.
When I came back to school all of those
buried emotions rose to the surface. I saw my
friends in happy relationships, and remembered
how I had wanted this to go, but it somehow
didnt.
I was lonely, and yes, I threw myself a few
more pity parties. I would lie in bed the nights
my friends wanted to spend time with their
boyfriends and feel sorry for myself. not being
around my family and friends took a toll on
how well I was doing. I couldnt drive home
to Atlanta and I started to feel more alone than
ever. I became a regular of the lifetime channel
and my pantry, eating just about everything in
sight.
I cant remember the exact moment when I
started to feel better about the break up. But
after I established a new routine with school
and friends, I began to feel more normal. I
hated when people told me time was the only
thing that would help, but after a few months of
being back at school and keeping myself busy, I
realized it was true.
Its been four months since the break-up and
I can honestly say I am doing better. If someone
would have told me this days after the break-up
happened, I probably would not have believed
them. Yes, break ups are hard. But Ive found the
best way to get your life back is to live it. Coming
from a girl who once pathetically carved I will
never have a boyfriend into her desk at home,
got a boyfriend and then got dumped, trust me,
life goes on.
Behind the Break
moving on after a broken relationship
What becomes of the brokenhearted: After
a devastating breakup, Ellen learned how
to cope with her heartache: the time-
honored practice of patience.
