Out and About...WOULD YOU LIVE IN A CO-OP?
// SARA SNEATH
Lawrence has a long history of student co-ops dating back to the late 1930s. However, of the students I interviewed only one had heard about cooperative living. After learning a bit about the local student cooperative houses, students said whether or not they would consider living in a co-op.

"I guess if a lot of my friends were in it. It would just depend on the community. Like, if they were kind of like focused on similar things or if we had similar interests. But not exactly the same, I couldn't handle 32 of me."
"If we had similar personalities and if we like got along well, but I'm messy. So, there's that issue."

"I've known some people who lived in one of the houses and it didn't work out for them. They ended up dropping out of KU. So, I think it could work or it could fail, horribly.

"I would not be opposed to doing something like that. I'm in a sorority though. So, I will be living there for sophomore and junior year at least. But, if I hadn't been doing that, it's definitely something I would have considered. I didn't know my roommates when I moved in. I'm open to living with whoever."

JUNIOR FROM

"Co-ops would be a good way to build unity on the campus and get to know people on a deeper level. I think it's good to know your roommates well. Honestly, it seems like a good idea."

"I think you need your own space, if you're living with that many people. I think it also depends on your personality. I'm pretty social, but I don't know that something like that would work out for me, because I like my space."
"A cooperative living arrangement? I wouldn't be opposed to it. I'm living in the dorms now. So, it's kind of like having a bunch of different roommates."
ALEX WEST
FRESHMAN FROM

"I would be a bit hesitant not knowing the other residents. I had bad experiences with roommates in the past, that's why I live alone now."

What it's like... TO HAVE YOUR CAR STOLEN
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Summer Bradshaw, a senior from Olathe, walked out to the GSP-Corbin hall parking lot her freshman year and noticed her Hyndai Tiburon wasn't in the spot she parked it the night before.
Searching for my car in the parking lot felt like when you can't find your car keys, but escalated times 10. At first I was kind of embarrassed because I thought I just forgot where I parked. After searching all over the parking lot in the rain, I went back to the spot I thought I parked my car and noticed glass on the ground. That's when I realized someone stole it.
I told the people inside GSP-Corbin the situation, and they showed me the security tape that showed two guys ride

One month later my car was found crashed into a bridge in Kansas City, Mo. The whole left side of my car was pushed into the right side. At that point I didn't even care that my car was found. I wanted to sell it, but I had to get it fixed and keep it because fixing it was cheaper than buying a new car. The worst part was that someone had violated my property that I paid for myself. I still had to drive my car every day for three years knowing someone had broken into it and taken it.
I don't know why they targeted my car because there was nothing visible inside, and it was kind of girly. I was scared shitless because my car was locked, and we've been taught our whole lives if we lock up our stuff, it will be safe, and everything will be okay.

It's time for Johnson to snap out of his offensive woes and play like the player that he is capable of being. Kansas fans saw what he could do in the Jayhawks victory over the UCLA Bruins, scoring 23 points and shooting 62 percent from the court.
Even though Johnson has attempted more shots this season, because he has played more minutes, his field goal and three-point percentages last season were better.
Texas Christian University defensive end D. J. Yendrey (94) watches the ball fumbled by Boise State running back Drew Wright, bottom left, in the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game, in Boise, Ind. Authorities arrested 17 students, three of which were on the football team, in a sweeping drug sting at TCU on Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2012.
Johnson's offensives production could play a big hand in deciding how far the Jayhawks can advance in the NCAA Tournament.
Taylor is playing as good as any guard in the country, and he is finally living up to the expectations that fans have bestowed on him.
Johnson has tremendous upside and talent. Now that the front court is playing up to its potential, the back court needs to follow suit.

ing narcotics on Wednesday morning.
The arrests came after a sixmonth investigation by the Fort Worth police.
"There are days people want to be a head football coach, but today is not one of those days. As I heard the news this morning, I was first shocked, then hurt and now I'm mad," TCU football coach Gary Patterson said in a statement released to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
The four players arrested are linebacker Tanner Brock, offensive tackle Tyler Horn, safety Devin Johnson, and defensive lineman D.J. Yendry.
Brock led the Horned Frogs in tackles in their 13-0 2010 season that concluded in a 21-19 Rose Bowl victory against Wisconsin. He missed most of the 2011 season due to injury.
Yendry tied for second on the team in 2011 with three sacks, while Johnson was second on the team recording eight tackles for a loss.

Texas Christian University linebacker Tanner Brock (35) tackles BYU wide receiver O'Neill Chambers during an NCAA football game in Fort Worth, Texas. Brock was one of three arrested in connection to the drug bust.
"Under my watch, drugs and drug use by TCU's student-athletes will not be tolerated by me or any member of my coaching staff. Period. Our program is respected nationally for its strong ethics and for that reason the players arrested today were separated from TCU by the University. I believe strongly that young peoples' lives are more important than wins or losses." Patterson said in the release to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
According to Fort Worth Police chief Steve McGee, the drugs distributed included marijuana, cocaine, molly (a powdered form
