Catch of the Week
//ALIZA CHUDNOW
WHAT MAKES YOU A CATCH?
Well, I'm fun and outgoing, friendly and I am open to new experiences like rock climbing and going on road trips to different places. I love getting in the car and driving somewhere random. My favorite places to go are Branson, Mo. or Lake of the Ozarks.
THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE IN THE OPPOSITE SEX?
Their smile. I like perfect, straight, white teeth.
BEST DATE EXPERIENCE?
It would have to be Valentine's Day my junior year in high school. My ex-boyfriend and I went to dinner, the movies and then went cosmic bowling. I spent all night hanging out with him and his family. It was great getting to spend the whole day with someone that I love.
CELFR CRUSH?
Chace Crawford. He plays a hot, mysterious, caring guy in "Gossip Girl", and although he might not be like that in real life, I like to believe he is.

WHAT'S A DEAL BREAKER WHEN IT COMES TO A GUY?
Body odor, or if he's a jerk. I also hate guys who makes stupid sandwich jokes.
Like go make me a sandwich. So not a fan of those.
IDEAL FIRST DATE?
I feel I am really traditional when it comes to the first date. Dinner and a movie. I don't want to do something crazy on the first date. So like a nice restaurant and a movie after.
FAVORITE THING TO DO ON A FRIDAY NIGHT?
Go out with the girls.
FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN LAWRENCE?
McAllister's because I am a sucker for their sweet tea.
MAJOR TURN ONS?
He has to have a nice personality and be kind. He has to be outgoing just like I am. He has to have a great smile, and be someone I can talk to. Also, he must have a sense of humor.
QUOTE OR SAYING YOU LIVE BY?
"This too shall pass." It just means that whatever situation you're in, whether it's a fight with a boyfriend or drama with the girlfriends, things will get better and you shouldn't dwell on it.
Dear Michelle,
I've experienced a very strong smell sometimes when going down on a woman. What is a woman supposed smell like when I go down on them? Is there anything else that can leave that unpleasant odor on someone? Wondering What's Wrong

Dear WWW.
The female vagina contains delicate natural bacteria that helps maintain the healthy and normal balance of microorganisms in the vagina. When this bacteria is disrupted or prompted to overgrow, the result can sometimes cause the foul odor you experienced. If the odor resembles a "fishy" smell, the culprit is likely a condition called bacterial vaginosis (BV). BV is often mistaken for a yeast infection or trichomoniasis because of the itching and burning sometimes accompanying vaginal infections. Along with the possibility of itching and burning, the most obvious symptom of BV is the "fishy" odor and grey discharge. Only a doctor can properly diagnose the condition, so never feel intimated or scared to encourage your sex partner to seek treatment for BV or any other vaginal infection. If left untreated, BV may increase a woman's risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, pregnancy complications, post-operative infections and leave her susceptible to herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea and HIV.
Infections of BV are often caused by the following:
-Multiple sex partners.
-E. coli spreading to the vagina after anal sex. Always change the condom and wash the penis, mouth and/or hands thoroughly after anal play.
-Heat and moisture. Wearing breathable cotton underwear is important.Avoid tight, synthetic fabrics and thong underwear.
-Poor health. Smoking, excessive caffeine and excessive alcohol consumption should be avoided.
-Use of an intrauterine device (IUD) or other insertable method of birth control.
-Routine douching. Your body is extremely capable of filtering out toxins, expelling post-menstrual fluid, and maintaining bacterial balance. Douching will strip the natural bacteria from your vagina, causing vaginal infections to occur. Douching should be avoided.
-Scented or treated toilet paper, fragrant personal hygiene products, and any soap with dyes and perfumes. These should be avoided.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), although BV will sometimes clear up without treatment, all women with symptoms should be treated to avoid complications. Male partners generally do not receive treatment, but BV may spread between female-to-female sex partners. The CDC goes on to list two common antibiotics used to treat BV: metronidazole or clindamycin. Remember, although treatment may cure the infection, BV can recur after treatment. Take care in exercising the precautions listed above.
A woman should be in tune with her body. This means looking at, touching and smelling her vagina to monitor any changes. Grab a hand mirror, lay down on a towel in your bathroom or bedroom, and inspect in and around your vagina for any visual changes. A healthy vagina will be void of any warts, cuts, sores, rashes, unusual discharge or foul odors.
Finally, for you men. A woman will never naturally smell like flowers, fruit or perfume. She will have the natural and erotic scent of a woman. If you have a problem with that, you're not worthy of anything she has to offer.

--be in strong consideration to win 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.
Losing your mother and grandparents at 19 is something nobody should have to go through.
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.
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.
The Jayhawks will play in their third preseason tournament, The University of Texas — San Antonio tournament, this weekend in San Antonio, Texas. In each of the three tournaments, Kansas has been one of the marquee teams.
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.
"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 were going to see in
"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 shorthanded 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."
focused heavily on being patient against opposing pitchers. In seven games so far, no starting pitcher for the opposing team has made it past the fifth innning against the Jayhawks. Senior infielder Zac Elgie knows that getting startings out of the game early will lead to success.
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.
much", Stanfield said. "A lot of 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.

"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."
The Jayhawks will look to build off of their 14-1 victory over Mississippi Valley State last Sunday in San Antonio.
