Out & About //RACHEL CHEON
As Valentine's Day approaches, it's inevitable to see couples or would-be couples planning dates. Dates are not always cheap, so I asked students: How often men should pay for dates?
"Men are obligated to pay on dates. It's mens duty. For the most part, if he is taking out a woman on a date, he should pay. But it is nice to have your date for the date once in a while." Rithvik Mogali, freshmen from Overland Park.
"If it's just you two, the man should always pay. If it's a date in a big group, then you don't necessarily have to pay." Arthur Ankeney, junior from Columbia, Mo.
"It depends. If you guys are just starting to date, I think guys should always pay. If you've been dating for a while, it's okay to split half and half." Nilam Patel, junior from Rolla, Mo.
"I think 100 percent, unless she offers like on his birthday or something. Usually, gentlemen should do it." Pheonia Griffith, junior from Guvana, South America.
"I definitely think on first date, guy should pay. But since we are in college, I'll give leeway if we are dating." Emily Paulson, sophomore from Libertyville, Ill.
"I think that on the first date, guys should definitely pay, kind of to impress the girl. But I understand the financial situation, so it's up to each individuals." Jessica Leeker, junior from St. Louis.
"I think men should pay like first five dates until more serious relationship is established. Then they can start dividing the expenses." Marina Guzman, senior from Paraguay.
Men should always be willing to pay and offer, but probably once relatlionship progresses, it will start to even out." Josh Harper, graduate student from Ashville, N.C.
"Every time. It's like the way you breathe. Just do it every time. That's the way we do in Nigeria. Be a gentleman." Ike Chinonso, graduate student from Nigeria.
"I think we should all be gentlemen and just pay for our ladies. That's the least we can do." Bakary Suso, junior from Gambia.
"Growing up, it's always been a gentleman thing, but it's nice to have women pay for a few dates. I think now, three-fourths of the time dates should be paid for by a guy, so that it reminds us that we are in a partnership." Belal Ndiaye, senior from Senegal.

According to Douglas County Jail records, the suspect is charged with four counts of kidnapping, three counts of robbery and one count of aggravated robbery. The charges stem from a robbery reported January 10, in which four men robbed an apartment in the Applecroft Apartments at 1734 W. 19th St.
Kim Murphree, a police spokesman, wrote in an email that the 23-year-old man was located in Ottawa, brought by the Lawrence Police Department to the police training center during the investigation, and arrested.
Lawrence police arrested an Ottawa man Wednesday suspected of kidnapping and the robbery of a Lawrence apartment.
Mack Hartwell, a 19-year-old former University student and victim in the case, was not aware of the second arrest, but recalled the robbery.
Hartwell said he and his roommates knew the 19-year-old man first arrested by police because he had come over before.
That suspect returned January 10, and when Hartwell heard a knock at the door, the 19-year-old said more of his friends had come
The men took cell phones, mar-
cash, most of which was located in a safe.
"They were yelling, 'we want all your stuff,' Hartwell said. "They said, 'we have guns, we will kill you.'
"I don't know for sure if they did, but they said they did and it looked like they had them," Hartwell said. "When it's in the moment, you just don't question it."
Hartwell heard his friend, who owned the safe, being hit by the suspects while another man stayed with the other four victims.
Hartwell and the others were forced to stay in the bathroom until the men left, and were left without a way to contact the police, because the robbers had taken their cell phones and torn up
As soon as the men entered, all four suspects began yelling and some appeared to have guns.
It was the second arrest made in the case. The LPD arrested a 19-year-old Ottawa man hours after the robbery.
"They started beating him because he wouldn't open the safe," Hartwell said. "Eventually he did though."
They walked to a gas station and called the police.
Another resident felt Applecroft Apartments should have notified residents of the robbery.
"It's pretty safe here usually," said Danielle Garcia, a University graduate. "But I think they should have notified us, because when something happens, you should be put on alert."
The owners of the apartments declined to comment on the case.
Hartwell thinks the remaining suspects will also be arrested, but said he will remain more attentive.

history, prince routines and build sets. Some parts of the preparation start even before the fall semester. Around 12 pairs of fraternities and sororites compete in the fall to make it into the final show, but only five are selected.
Then the process becomes even more intense; each group practices is at least an hour per day, which makes it difficult to have a life outside of Rock Chalk.
"It's like you put everything into this," said Hannah Schoeb, a sophomore from Leawood and one of the six directors of Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Nu's show. "I mean, I still did fine in school, but I got an A- and I'm a perfectionist. I've put a lot of my friendships on hold and my relationships on hold."
The process is even more dea junior from the directors and Sigma Chi's he is excited for people to see the original show he helped create, he also has some anxiety.

I'm going to be even more nervous because I'm a director and there's even more pressure," Henzlik said.
Kirk Morrison, a sophomore from Tulsa, Okla., first participated in Rock Chalk as a freshman as a way to branch out.
"I'm from out-of-state and I was fairly new to the house and the community, so I figured it would be a good way to get to know people," Morrison said. "It turned out to be an awesome experience."
Rock Chalk Revue is on March 1 and 2 at 7 p.m. and March 3 at 5 p.m.at the Lied Center. Tickets are available at the Lied Center box office and website.
