Watkins Memorial Health Center gives students looking for birth control several options
condom. An ejaculation can burst through a condom if no excess room exists at the tip. Using condoms is important to Nick Ginther, a senior from Andover, Kan. Its part of being responsible, Ginther said. In anything short of a monogamous, long-standing relationship, it would be dumb not for each person to hold themselves responsible rather than trusting that the other person is. Its cheaper than having a kid. According to Boulder Valley Womens Health Centers website, the pull-out method is 73 percent effective and does not protect against transmitting STDs. Women have many options for birth control. Non-hormonal options, or barrier methods, include female condoms, spermicide, diaphragm and contraceptive sponges. Hormonal birth control includes Intrauterine Devices (IUD), contraceptive implants, oral pills, vaginal rings, shots and patches. Im on the pill, Danielle Yingling, a junior from Topeka said. Its easy, and Im good at remembering to take it at the right time. Its the most convenient for me, because it helps out with acne and cramps all in the same pill. Yingling has experimented with different forms of birth control to find which one is right for her. She plans to try an IUD next. IUDs, such as Mirena, increase the thickness of the mucus within the cervix which prevents conception. It also decreases the mobility of the sperm and decreases the chances of a fertilized egg to implant on the wall of the cervix. Implanting an IUD is a procedure that should be done by a medical provider. The IUD normally comes in a form of a small T and is placed inside the uterus. Donham said its nearly 99 percent effective, and depending on the brand, can last up to ten years. There are other IUDs that last three and five years as well. The NuvaRing, a vaginal ring, is an easy and effective birth control method for college students said Donham. The disposable ring is self-placed and removed during the menstrual cycle. The ring lasts for one month. Another easy-toremember birth control is the contraceptive patches, such as Ortho Evra. Its replaced weekly and can be placed on the upper arm, butt, back or hip. Contraceptive implants, such as Nexplanon, are implanted in the arm and remain effective for three years. The Depo-Provera shot lasts for three months. Common side effects of both of these drugs are weight gain up to 5 lbs., Donham said. Side effects for any hormonal birth control include feeling more hormonal or sensitive, weight gain, spotting and blood clots. Hormonal birth control isnt effective for all women and can cause problems, Donham said. A medical provider should be consulted before using contraceptives. If anyone is taking a birth control that isnt working or theyre feeling kind of weird or something just seems different or off, its always best to listen to your body, Donham said. We have a wonderful staff here at Watkins Memorial Health Center to help. Donham said refraining from sex is the surefire way to avoid becoming pregnant. She advises that students talk with their partner about contraceptives and their boundaries before taking their clothes off. Edited by Laken Rapier

rschlichting@kansan.com Male birth control pills might be on their way, until then, students can explore a variety of contraceptives at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Researchers at KU Medical Center are trying to develop a male version of oral birth control. According to 6 News Lawrence, the pill will not be released any time soon. For now, males will have to stick to condoms or spermicide. Jenny Donham, Health Education Resource Office health coordinator, said male condoms are the most popular form of birth control on the KU campus. According to the Center for Disease Control, condoms are 85 percent effective. What happens is that many people are unaware of how to place it or use it correctly, Donham said. When we look at human error, 15 percent of the time people mess that up. Condoms are easily ripped and should not be torn open by teeth. They have expiration dates, which should be checked before every use. A frequent error of users is not pinching the tip when sliding on a

mschmidt@kansan.com iPhone or Android: that is the choice students now face when upgrading smart phones. With the recent release of the iPhone 5, many students are quick to get their hands on the latest handheld device from Apple. Josh Maddux, a senior from Overland Park, just upgraded to the iPhone 5 from the iPhone 4 he has used for the past two years. I selected iPhone over Android solely because Ive used multiple iPhones, and have loved all of them, Maddux said. None of my previous iPhones ever gave me any problems. While the iPhone 5 requires all new cords incompatible with previous Apple products, Maddux is not bothered as the changes come with an improved product. A drum major for the Marching Jayhawks, the iPhone 5 helps Maddux easily send emails to the band and watch previous performances on video. Tyler Keast, a Sprint sales associate, said KU students are evenly divided between selecting Android

and iPhone. Whichever phone they prefer, those students are usually stronger against selecting the other type of phone, despite similar processing speeds and cost. Both the iPhone 5 and the comparable Samsung Galaxy SIII have dual core processors and cost $199 to upgrade. A lot of people get the iPhone, and they dont know why, Keast said. They want it just because its trendy. Working at both the Sprint stores in Leavenworth and at the KU Medical Center, Keast noticed medical students tend to prefer the iPhone 5 because of its reliability, while more tech savvy students select Android options. Joe Rassmussen, a junior from Prairie Village, has used Android phones for the past two and a half years. Rassmussen prefers the versatility, widgets and customizability of his Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which he upgraded a month ago. With the iPhone, what you see is what you get, Rassmussen said. With Android, I can make it my phone. Rassmussen admits the iPhone
is more user friendly, enough so that his grandpa would have little trouble using it, but said the applications are easier to upgrade on the Android operating system Not all students are thrilled with Android, or are vying to get the iPhone 5. Kevin Colbert, a graduate student from Kansas City, Kan., and current Android user, is due for a phone upgrade shortly. I will probably end up buying an iPhone soon, Colbert said. With a two-year phone update, the iPhone4 is free. I will most likely not buy the iPhone5 however because of the $200 cost, additional associated fees and lack of new features. While Keast still thinks the Samsung Galaxy SIII is a slightly better product than the iPhone 5, he said selecting a phone is ultimately based on a students preference. If youre looking for reliability, go for iPhone, Keast said. But if youre looking for bells and whistles, Android is the phone for you. Edited by Laken Rapier

Presidential candidates Man to attempt prepare for first debate free-fall jump
ASSoCiAteD PreSS
NEW YORK The presidential candidates on Tuesday laid out their visions of Americas role in the world while making subtle political jabs at one another in dueling foreign policy speeches shaped by violent protests in the Middle East and their closely fought campaign at home. Republican nominee Mitt Romney smiled and joked with political foe Bill Clinton before delivering a speech that insinuated that President Barack Obama has not done enough to stop chaos overseas. A couple miles away in a speech to the U.N. General Assembly, Obama indirectly referenced Romneys statement, revealed last week in a secretly recorded video at a private fundraiser, that he doesnt have much faith in peace prospects between Israelis and Palestinians. Obama didnt mention the video but told the assembled world leaders: Among Israelis and Palestinians, the future must not belong to those who turn their backs on the prospect of peace. Like Obama, Romney avoided direct criticism hes made during recent campaign appearances to reflect the setting at the gathering of political, humanitarian and business leaders at the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative. The GOP White House nominee said U.S. aid needs to be more effective in elevating people and bringing about lasting change in developing nations plagued by instability and violence, including the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya. In his remarks, Romney called the death a terrorist attack, language that Obama himself has not used but that his chief spokesman and secretary of state have. Obama told the United Nations that the violence in Libya were attacks on America and called on world leaders to help confront

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. His blood could boil. His lungs could overinflate. The vessels in his brain could burst. His eyes could hemorrhage. And, yes, he could break his neck while jumping from a mindboggling altitude of 23 miles. But the risk of a gruesome death has never stopped Fearless Felix Baumgartner in all his years of skydiving and skyscraper leaping, and its not about to now. Next Monday over New Mexico, he will attempt the highest, fastest free fall in history and try to become the first skydiver to break the sound barrier. So many unknowns, Baumgartner says, but we have solutions to survive. The 43-year-old former military parachutist from Austria is hoping to reach 690 mph, or Mach 1, after leaping from his balloon-hoisted capsule over the desert near Roswell. He will have only a pressurized suit and helmet for protection as he tries to go supersonic 65 years after Chuck Yeager, flying an experimental rocket plane, became the first human to go faster than the speed of sound. Doctors, engineers and others on Baumgartners Red A 23-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Tuesday at 11:54 a.m. on the 100 block of north Michigan Street on suspicion of domestic battery. Bond was not set. A 27-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. on the 3200 block of west 24th Street on suspicion of driving while suspended and theft of property of services less than or equal to $25,000. Bond was set at $2,750. He was released.
Bull-sponsored team have spent as much as five years studying the risks and believe they have done everything possible to bring him back alive. He has tested out his suit and capsule in two dress rehearsals, jumping from 15 miles in March and 18 miles in July. Baumgartner will be more than three times higher than the cruising altitude of jetliners when he hops, bunny-style, out of the capsule and into a near-vacuum where there is barely any oxygen and less than 1 percent of the air pressure on Earth.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney arrives at his campaign headquarters in Boston, to prepare for the presidential debates. If Republican Mitt Romney doesnt perform well at the presidential debate on Wednesday, its not for lack of trying. on one out of every four days this September, the Republican presidential nominee held preparation sessions for the first of his three debates with Democratic President Barack obama. the root causes of rage across the Muslim world. We somehow feel that we are at the mercy of events, rather than shaping events, Romney said. Romney said he would negotiate trade agreements and offer prosperity pacts in the Middle East and other developing nations to encourage open markets in exchange for U.S. aid. The aim of a much larger share of our aid must be the promotion of work and the fostering of free enterprise, Romney said. Romney said work is the key to lifting people out of poverty abroad by providing self-esteem and a grounding in reality.

from the other day, turned into consistent talking. McCraws first question for Bloom was, Whats your favorite Pokmon? His is Arcanine. Hers is Squirtle. Pokmon was their icebreaker. I was just looking for someone who knew what it was and would watch it with me, Bloom said. The two hung out on Friday night in McCraws dorm room. They listened to Dirty Orchestra by Black Violin, which McCraw describes as gangster hip hop violin, and a lot of alternative music. She didnt want to set a certain mood. She, like Bloom, had low expectations for the relationship. She expected him to stay in the far reaches of the friend zone. But Bloom texted her the next day, asking her to go to a party at his house that night so that he would have another sober person to talk to. She said she would only go if he shaved his beard. She thought he looked too much like her dad at first, but after seeing his clean-shaven photos on Facebook, she found him much more attractive. She kept him company at the party, and the two ended up staying awake all night talking. Three days later, Bloom and McCraw became Facebook official. They cuddle often, as Blooms description required. They also sing together frequently. McCraw said the singing doesnt always sound good, but its fun. They watched The Lion King and sang along to all the songs together. Bloom said he thinks the relationship will be quite the romance. Its too early to tell if it will be extremely long or anything like that, Bloom said, but I think were going to have a really good time for however long it lasts. Edited by Emma McElhaney

He said it first, not me. Apparently its somewhat similar to the caffeine situation. Instead of keeping you awake, alcohol keeps you from reaching the higher quality sleep. Lay off it a bit.
There isnt a good excuse for not seeing the outdoors while youre a student here. On such a beautiful campus with so many opportunities to walk from class to class, how you could avoid the sun would be a much bigger challenge. If, for some reason, you prefer to be a zombie during the week, by all means continue. However, adhering to a somewhat reliable sleep schedule and cutting back your afternoon intake of caffeine, alcohol and exercise may be enough to give you a little more natural energy. Go ahead, try it. It costs you nothing. Youll benefit by being healthier, and, most likely, spending less money on your caffeinated beverage of choice.

Every night. Nearly the same time. This lets your body know exactly what its dealing with and allows it to get comfortable with that routine. Sometimes its not possible; thats true.

Drink the coffee in the morning and have your tea with lunch. After that, give your body time to get the energy out of your system. Even if you continue drinking something caffeinated, take it easy as you start reach the evening hours. Give your body a break.

lationships tend to be anything but. Couples usually enter them because they appear simple. But they can often be just as complicated or more so than a committed bond because said partners frequently develop a fear that one will fall harder than the other. For that reason, when those relationships end, the friendships often die with them Its important here to note that sex or any other form of intimacy doesnt always lead to relationships or anything close. Sometimes it does. But sometimes it ends up like an attempt to light a firework after dropping it in water: it sounds like it could be successful but usually still leaves you with something non-workable and anticlimactic. But unless its a one-time fluke, sex or anything leading up to it changes non-relationships because it forces us to reconsider our connection to that person because theres nothing casual or natural about people having sex on a regular basis who are just friends. Meanwhile sex in a relationship thats already committed is so mainstream that unless the couple is intensely sexually conservative, said matters of the flesh usually dont change the relationship in any major way. Against the backdrop of an already
intimate relationship, sexual activity shouldnt affect much. After all, theres already somewhat of an expectation of intimacy on some level when two people are committed to each other, especially for college students and other adults in those relationships. If sex really changes that much in a pre-existing relationship, the couple should probably reconsider their expectations of one another (and also communicate very clearly and openly about them) or reevaluate their being together. Here, sex becomes a personal problem rather than a relationship problem and must be addressed. In the end the relationship can fail if its not handled in a healthy manner. And finally we have to let go of the long, ingrained idea in American young teen culture that sex changes so much in our lives. Theres no denying that it doesnt matter. After all, bad or no sex can be fatal to otherwise great relationships. But we shouldnt undermine everything else that makes a relationship what it is. Sex is a huge part of culture, but when you and me become a we, it shouldnt be that complicated. Sex may tend to rock the boat in our friendships, but if it doesnt totally change us, it shouldnt change our exclusive relationships either.

ave you ever wanted to incite social change in our world but didnt know where to start? There is a large group of men and women using the realm of social media to try and change the world. Starting Sept. 22, men and women across the globe will be meeting in various locations for The Social Good Summit to trade big ideas that meet new media and will create innovative solutions to the issues pertaining to the world today, according to the Mashable.com. Leaders from different areas of the world, like United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, American writer Deepak Chopra, the founder of the famous social media website Mashable.com Pete Cashmore, and the director of social strategy for the American Red Cross Wendy Harman, are in attendance to attempt to, explore how communities and audiences are connecting with each other through social and digital innovations to solve global problems. Some of the things these individuals plan to use social media and technology for include fighting different diseases, affecting businesses, and issues of spirituality.

he National Football League referee lockout was one of the most influential events for the future of sports. While America suffered three weeks of miserable officiating in some instances, altering the outcomes of games the security of all major sports was being set in stone for at least the next 10 years. It was difficult watching the integrity of many games deteriorate due to sub-par officiating. The replacement referee fiasco culminated with the Inaccurate Reception or Fail Mary in the Monday night primetime game, handing the Seahawks a win over Packers. During the lockout, we saw Americas most popular sport in a tailspin. Egos and stubborn sides clashed to seek their own benefits, not the benefits of the most important aspect of sports, the fans.

COMMENTARY
By Ryan McCarthy
weekend with both Kansas and Kansas State on a bye week should have provided some time for local fans to breathe. Instead, the Big 12 had the highest scoring game you will see all season at any level of college football. It was early Saturday morning when Baylor and West Virginia managed to score a combined 133 points for the game, a crazy amount of points that even made EA Sports gamers put down their controllers and applaud the two teams efforts. Geno Smith of West Virginia put on a display for the ages with 656 yards passing and eight touchdowns. The most impressive stat for Smith though is that he only threw six incompletions the entire game. Somehow he finds a way to be accurate through all of his progressions, whether its completing a short pass for three yards or throwing the long ball to his receivers. Hes truly a quarterback with overall efficiency and has the poise to lead the Mountaineers to an impressive bowl game by the end of the season. Dont forget that Baylor also showed impressive resilience in this game. Despite being down three touchdowns for part of the second half, the Bears continued to fight back and managed to rack up 63 points in the losing effort. Their quarterback Nick Florence threw for an incredible 581 yards in the loss and was just a mere sidenote in the game. Hes not Robert Griffin III, but he shows that the basis for the Baylor offense stayed intact this year, and will be a force to be reckoned with later on as well. This truly was a game for the ages, but it also explained the age that college football is currently in. In college football, defenses continue to give up an insane amount of yards and points every weekend. Despite rigorous study by defensive coaches and players in film rooms across the country, offenses are still getting the best of the defenses that line up opposite them on Saturdays. The fans love this style of play. The way you get people in the seats is to score a lot of points, and so far this season the top teams in the Big 12 have been able to do that. The more points put up in the game, the more people will show up. With the conference season in full swing, every team is going to have to score a lot of points in order to compete. Without an above average offense, teams will be left in the dust because offense is all that matters in this conference. Yes, you need to make defensive stops, but for victories, teams will have to outscore their opponents instead of relying on their defenses to make stops. Its an incredible change to the college football landscape, but its something thats been anticpated. Its a true display of the times in college football: offense is king. Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk

Weis urges Jayhawk fans to focus more on meeting an in-state rival this weekend

bschuster@kansan.com The bye week is over and Kansas football is getting ready to return to action against Kansas State in Manhattan on Saturday. Both Kansas coach Charlie Weis and Kansas State coach Bill Snyder had an opportunity to speak to the media on Mondays teleconference call where they touched on the upcoming game. Bradley McDougalds play this season. To date, McDougald has a team-leading 34 tackles; along with three pass deflections, two forced fumbles and two interceptions. Weis may have known McDougald was capable of these numbers at the beginning of the season, but until play started he didnt have much proof of it. From the day I saw him he looked special, Weis said. He looks like a heck of a player. Weis said McDougalds athleticism make him one of the few guys on defense he can count on to make plays citing McDougalds pass coverage and interceptions. Hes been invaluable to our group, he said.

do. If youre at Kansas State its Lets go beat Kansas, Weis said. And the last three years theyve laid a pretty good whooping on us. He said with Missouri now playing in the Southeastern Conference the team is pushing its focus to the in-state rivalry. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder echoed Weis sentiment, saying that his players are always ready to go for this game and that there is no need to try and push them to get more pumped up to play Kansas. I dont think you have to find
ways to motivate young guys because it means an awful lot to them on both sides, Snyder said. Just like Kansas, the Wildcats will be coming off a bye week. For the Jayhawks, that may prove to be a needed break. However, the Wildcats had been rolling, winning their first four games by a combined total of 162-62. Snyder wasnt upset with the timing of the bye week but instead deferred his judgment of it until a later date. The bottom line is how well we play next Saturday, Snyder said. Next Monday Ill have an answer. Edited by Luke Ranker
