WHAT INSTRUMENT ARE YOU?
Your ideal weekend is:
1. Going out with a group of friends.Maybe you'll go to a party,maybe you'll go to a karaoke bar,or maybe you'll just go out for dinner.
2. Having a good conversation with a close friend over coffee.
3. Watching Netflix alone in bed
If you're having a bad day, you prefer to:
1. Go out and have fun. You're too fabulous to sit around and feel bad about it!
2. Smoke some hookah, talk to some friends, and chill out.
You know you'll get over it if you give it some time.
3. Read a book or write about it. You'd rather deal with it by yourself.
You just found out your favorite band is in town tonight. You:
1. Dress up in your favorite outfit and invite a big group of
people to go with you. You're ready to have some fun!
2. Call a few of your friends to meet you at the venue. You don't even have to change - your flannel and jeans are good enough.
3. You'll have to decide if you want to go — you don't really want to go out, but if you decide to, you might just go alone.
people often tell you that you're:
1. A social butterfly
2. Very laid-back
3. A little antisocial

ronce have preliminarily identified a body found at 1:30 p.m.
as Gianfranco Villagomez, the 23-year-old University student
who has been missing since Saturday morning.
Preliminary information does not indicate foul play. An autopsy and further investigation are planned for today.
The body was found in the grass behind the home at 837 Avalon Rd.
"Family and friends were notified by officers late this afternoon," Lawrence Police spokesperson Sgt. Trent McKinley wrote in a news release. "At their request, they ask for privacy as they deal with this tragic loss."
Earlier yesterday, his friend Sarah Alig, a graduate student from Kansas City, Kan., described Villagomez as a role model.
of his way to wave and say hi to acquaintances. When Villagozem was a resident assistant at Hashinger Residence Hall, he greeted freshmen from other floors by name, said one of those former freshmen while helping to distribute flyers.
"He's very gentle-hearted. He's goofy and kind," Alig said. "He's so hard-working and dedicated to whatever he does."
Through the Help Find Giancranco Villagomez Facebook page, Alig and other friends have distributed fliers throughout downtown Lawrence, knocked on doors and talked to media.
She said he always went out
The search team met Sunday at the apartment of
Marieliza Suarez, a junior from Lenexa and president of the Peruvian Association of Lawrence. "You're always going to be a lavhawk," she said.
Suarez had only met Villagomez at the party Friday night. She's not surprised so many people feel close to Villagomez and have banded together to search.
"It has a lot to do with that kindness and empathy," Alig said. Villagomez was last seen leaving a friend's birthday party around

Thanksgiving, she got stuck in the rush-hour traffic on 23rd Street going out of town.
"It really bad if you want to turn and you miss your turn signal and then you just sit there for eight different signals with straight traffic and other turning traffic." McClannahan said.
Things may change, however, with a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation. Lawrence received $129,250 that will allow city to expand the intelligent transportation system on the city's major roads.
The intelligent transportation system works by connecting the traffic signals with fiber-optic cables and using computers, cameras and additional software to be able to view the real-time traffic at the city's traffic operations center.
With the grant, the city will update the traffic signal system along Clinton Parkway from 23rd and Iowa to Wakarusa, from Wakarua Street to Sixth

adjust the trans signal timing to help move traffic." City Engineer David Cronin said. "We are still experimenting with the technology, and it's a work in progress."
"Right now when we have football games or basketball games, we have to put officers on traffic control positions and override the traffic light system," said Sergeant Trent McKinley of the Lawrence Police Department. "If technology was in place to manage that, that would benefit us."

Ultimately, the new addition will help the flow of traffic going across the city, east to west.
"Once we get the South Law-
