Bell Pepper Salad //RACHEL CHEON
I was flying with Delta Airlines this winter, and they served a salad with lots of bell peppers in it for one of the meals. It is rare to have such a good experience with in-flight meals for me, but this salad tasted so delicious that I decided to replicate the recipe at home. Based on this experience, I came up with a recipe that is easy and quick to make and budget-friendly for students. This salad does not require chopping lettuce and stays fresher for longer than a traditional lettuce leaf salad.
The salad from the plane had various colored bell peppers, cucumbers and kidney beans. Put all of those ingredients in a bowl, along with tomatoes, and butter or lima beans. I added these additional ingredients because they are also cheap to purchase, and add more flavor to the salad. The only work required is dicing the vegetables, opening the canned beans and tossing the salad together before adding the dressing of your choice. It takes less than five minutes to make, and is good for your health.
Bell peppers are a good source of vitamin A and C and kidney beans and lima beans are good sources of protein, according to nutritiondata.self.com. One cup of kidney beans give you 30 percent of your daily protein value. Ann Chapman, a registered dietician at KU Student Health Services, says that the vitamins in this dish help the health of our skin and hair and boost our immune system, while the protein helps us stay focused and gives us more energy. In other words, it is better to have more protein than carbohydrates. "Having a piece of turkey will make you more alert than say, a bowl of pasta," Chapman says.
For even more protein, you can put bacon or boiled eggs in this delicious salad. It is sweet, healthy and colorful.

national player of the year honors after losing three of his closest family members is something to admire.
If you think you're going through hard times because you're struggling with class, you broke up with your partner, you're struggling with your relationships with your family and friends or undergoing financial hardship, just take a good, hard look at what Robinson has endured.
He has responded to his misfortune by committing himself, whether it's by taking care of his younger sister Jayla, or being the best basketball player he can possibly be. He doesn't want people to feel sorry for him. He is a symbol of hope, determination, strength and perseverance.
Losing your mother and grandparents at 19 is something nobody should have to go through.
I know senior day is a day to honor the seniors, but Robinson should be honored as well. If you aren't planning to attend Saturday's game against Texas, I strongly urge you to go because it's probably the last time you'll see Robinson play at Allen Fieldhouse.

Coming into the season, the Kansas baseball team knew it would be facing the best pitchers of each team it plays. That's the price that comes with being a member of the Big 12 conference.
Coach Ritch Price said that a tournament format allows for teams to choose who they want to throw their best arms against. In a normal three-game series format, the teams match up their number one, two and three pitchers.
The Jayhawks will play in their third preseason tournament, The University of Texas — San Antonio tournamet, this weekend in San Antonio, Texas. In each of the three tournaments, Kansas has been one of the marquee teams.
"I told our team in a short team meeting that the advantage of playing at the University of Kansas is going to a tournament and getting everybody's best guys," Price said. "Those are the guys we're going to see in
against opposing pitchers. In seven games so far, no starting pitcher for the opposing team has made it past the fifth inning against the Jayhawks. Senior infielder Zac Elgie knows that getting starting pitchers out of the game early will lead to success.
"That's one of the big things when we start playing conference series," Elgie said. "If we can use the bullpen the first couple days, that leaves them kind of shoranded for the weekend. The more you can do that the more you can wear them out and they can't use their best pitchers later on."
While the Jayhawks have been able to get players on base often, the clutch hit has proved elusive. Kansas has left 63 runners on base already this season, which averages to nine runners left on base a game. Senior catcher James Stanfield said the team needs to lay off sliders down in the strike zone, and look for fastballs.
Stanfield said the team has to make sure they stay patient later in the game because that's when the at-bats are the most important.
Price said the team would need to be confident and relaxed at the plate to be successful.
the times in the those situations you just need a ground ball to the right side or a fly ball to the outfield."
"The hardest part about baseball is that it beats you up mentally, at any level." Price said.
The Jayhawks will look to build off of their 14-1 victory over Mississippi Valley State last Sunday in San Antonio.
"Anytime you're successful offensively, you're successful one-through-nine in the lineup." Price said. "The first couple of weekends we've had two or three of our key guys who are off to a slow start, but all it takes is one good weekend to turn it all around."
