Even the greatest homecourt advantage in all of
college basketball still has to
take out the trash after the
game.
According to Eric Nelson,
the
waste
reduction
manager for the Center for
Sustainability, there was an
average of 4,020 pounds of
waste landfilled, 580 pounds
of waste recycled, and 2,358
pounds of waste composted
for every mens basketball
game during the 2013-14
season.
With a capacity of 16,300,
that means each person
creates about 2.3 pounds of
Lane
and at each point, Ive been
so incredibly fortunate to
alarm assignment.
That means that if each of
the 250 fire alarms took an
hour and a half to complete,
the resulting cost would be
$150,000, or about $5,000
more than it costs for an
out-of-state student to attend
the University for four years,
according to Financial Aid
and Scholarships.

Countless students have
woken up in the middle of
the night to the shrill of fire
alarms going off in student
housing at the University.
While it may only be a
one-time occurrence for a
student to go through, its a
common occurrence across
campus.
According to James King,
the prevention division chief
for Lawrence and Douglas
County Fire Medical, they
respond to approximately
250 fire alarms at the
University every year. In
2014, 148 alarms were set
off in student housing, and
93 of those were specific to
the dorms.
However, only three of
those alarms were due to
a real fire, as opposed to
something like a student
burning macaroni and
cheese and setting off the
fire alarm. King said the fire
department has to come out
for every alarm that goes off,
and it costs approximately
$400 per hour for a full-

Potter Lake was built in 1911 in order to combat major fires on campus. Swimming and diving contests were held there
until the water quality was deemed poor enough to ban swimming in 1924.
Farmland, a documentary
about the lives of about 20
farmers and ranchers, is being
brought to the University
today.
The film will be screened in
Lobby T1 in the Union from
9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and
in the Kansas Room from
5-9 p.m., courtesy of Campus
Solutions, Inc., a college
marketing agency.
Despite the agency coming
in as an outside group, it
still reached out to different
campus groups in hopes they
attend the screening.
According to an email sent
to one group, the agency
wants at least 100 students to
show.
Campus
Solutions
is
determined to make this
happen by providing $150
to organizations for 15 KU
Student Farm members.
Bryan Carbone, marketing
director
for
Campus
Solutions, would not provide
the list of groups that have
confirmed their attendance.

occupation.
Chad Koralek, a Western
Kansas farmer and father
of three, said its about time
people realized just how
much the industry has faded.
Farming has been in my
family long before I was even
born, Koralek said. The idea
of being agriculturally selfsufficient is important, and I
hope this movie points that
out.
Mary Beth Duda, a senior
from Pomona, has also not
seen the movie, but she said
its easy to take the food we eat
every day for granted.
How do we continue going
on without it? Duda said. Its
starting to become a problem
when young people arent
going into the food industry
when its clearly needed.
Duda focuses on this
issue on a smaller scale by
gardening.
Its important to have that
connection with something
outside of yourself, with a
sense of responsibility, Duda
said.
Tonights screening is free,
and being catered by On

Lawrence clubs. Sports clubs
like Kumdo/Kendo only cost
$10 per semester.
Aside from the benefits
the University has to offer,
adding variation to an
exercise routine can help
you work muscles that you
may not usually work. For
instance, by playing tennis or
ultimate frisbee, you may be
strengthening muscles you
wouldnt normally if you just
stuck to running as a routine.
By adding these different
activities into your routine,
you are working out multiple
parts of the body and not
focusing on just one area.
By adding some of the
activities offered by KU
Recreation Services, students
can easily add variety into
their daily exercise routines.
It allows the body to rest
and recover, as well as
making your workout more
enjoyable.

To paraphrase college
basketball
analyst
Seth
Davis, the Jayhawks got
their mojo back. The No. 23
Jayhawks (32-5, 3-3) earned
their first conference sweep
of the season last weekend,
knocking out the Oklahoma
State Cowgirls (17-21, 1-5) in
a massive rebound from the
conference opening series
against the Texas Longhorns
two weeks ago, where
Kansas was soundly swept in
Arrocha Ballpark.
The Jayhawks opened the
series last Thursday night,
defeating the Cowgirls 76. Like they had done so
many times this season, the
Jayhawks rallied back from
an early deficit to take the
win in the seventh inning.
In a stark contrast from
the Texas series, where
the Jayhawks struggled to
overcome early deficits,
the team scored seven runs
in the final two innings to
overcome a 4-0 deficit that
had been hanging over the
Jayhawks for much of the
game. Senior Maddie Stein
led the Jayhawks with three
hits in the game.
The Jayhawks got their
offense going in the second
game of the series Friday,
defeating the Cowgirls 105. Junior Chaley Brickey
