Natalia Terwilliger,
Junior from Ointhe
"One of my friends and I went to her concert four or five years ago at the Sprint Center, so when she announced that she was going on tour we both looked at each other

like 'we have to go.' We don't care if she's so much different now, she's still Miley Cyrus and her songs are still really good."
What did you think of the ticket prices?
"I think she's going to put on a really good show because of all her previous shows, so I understand why it's so expensive. I'm willing to pay it just because I just love Miley Cyrus and I want that experience. I would rather pay the $90 and have a good experience."
Do you think this will be a popular show with college students?
Amy Anderson.
Junior From Overland Park
"I've heard a lot of people talking about wanting to go, but it's probably just more schedule because we're all so busy and it's on a Tuesday night."
What made you decide to purchase tickets to see Miley?
"I've been a pretty big Miley fan since her Hannah Montana days. I just think her music is fun to listen
to and her show would just be fun and memorable."
What did you think of the ticket prices?
"I thought that would probably be the price range. I heard, though, that to buy a meet-and-greet package it's like $900, which is ridiculous because for Justin Bieber it's only like $300."
"I just like Miley and I like her new album. One of the reasons I like Miley is that she stands up for women. People judge her but
What made you decide to purchase tickets to see Miley?
Do you think this will be a popular show with college students?
"It probably just depends on how much they like the artist. I think it's definitely worth going to, and I would encourage other people to go if they're trying to have a good night."

guys do the same things. I think she knows who she really is and doesn't care about what people think about her."
What did you think of the ticket prices?
"I think ours were cheaper since we got presale. Ours were like $87, but I was expecting to pay more. I'm sure that's what would stop people from going. I'm sure more people would go if they were cheaper or they could afford them."
Do you think this will be a popular show with college students?
"Yeah, I'm sure, just because now she's changed and the crowd is different, so I'm sure it's going to be a lot of older people and teens."

lake's two-piece album. "The 20/20 Experience," first appeared in March with the second part following in October.

remember for a really long time."
What did you think of the ticket prices?
"This will probably end up being a Christmas present for me. It's definitely not in my normal price range. I think the prices are kind of outrageous, but if you love him enough it's a good thing to do." Do you think this will be a popular show with college students?
"I think that a lot of college students will go if their parents do this as a gift for them for the holidays. I think it will be a lot of either really young teenagers that are going with parents or [people] around the college age if they can manage to get tickets."

'Booty call'app gaining campus popularity with Asian students
CORAL LU
clu@kansan.com
Online dating is not new anymore, but what about booty call mobile apps?
Now, thanks to a new Chinese "one-night stand" app called Momo, finding attractive people, talking to them and tracking them down is possible with a cellphone. Momo has become a popular app for KU Asian singles.
It allows users to find all types of people who are also using the app on their mobile device. Available information can include ages, birthdays, photos, interests and even a current location.
Yunteng Zhao, a senior from China, said he sees new Chinese students using Momo every day, and that meeting new people via Momo makes his social web wider because he is not very outgoing in person.
"I saw a cute girl on campus and I wanted to talk to her, but I don't know her," Zhao said. "A couple days ago, I found her in Momo because I saw her picture, so I just started to talk to her."
Momo was originally designed for socializing and meeting different people. The official website says, "You can meet anyone that you are interested in at any time and any
place; as long as you are near me, distance will no longer become an excuse to stop us"
Once people download Momo and create accounts, they share their information with all of its users. For example, men and women can pick whom they want to see in the app by selecting gender, height, weight, hobbies and even nearest location. Momo then creates a list of individuals that fit the requirements and provides photos. In the end, users just need to tap the screen and start a conversation.
Zhao said he has met more than five girls in Momo, and he is not the only one. Zhao added that one of his friends had sexual relationships with at least 10 girls through Momo, and that it was just like a booty call.
"Not only KU girls, they hooked up with girls from Kansas State, JCCC and even [some from] Chicago," Zhao said. "They traveled to different places during fall break, then their location would automatically change, so the nearest girls in Momo's list would also change."
Siaia Zhao, a junior from China, said she has been using Momo for several months. She saw the app was categorized as a tool for making friends and socializing, so she downloaded it. However, when she
realized people were really using it for something else, she felt insecure about it.
"People can track me by using Momo if I am using it as well because it provides a list of nearest people around you," she said. "Momo tells you how many meters this person is away from you, so if he walks [toward] me the distance will decrease, so it is just like a GPS."
Although users can block certain people they dislike on Momo, their information has still been shared with the public. Some, such as senior from China Mengchao Wu, have started having negative opinions of those who are using the app.
"I don't have it on my iPhone, but I have heard about it," Wu said. "My friends said it is made for a one night stand, so I don't want to download it and make myself look like that."
Whether Momo is used strictly for socializing, or for another purpose, many are pleased with its multifunctional options. Security and safety are the two biggest concerns so far, but one thing is certain: Momo has arrived at the University.

shorts, cowboy boots and hair bows.
Claire Breslin, sales associate at Forttuity and a junior from Parker, Colo., was surprised by how dressed up students got this past football season. Jessica Bricker, head manager at Kieu's women's clothing store on Mass Street, agreed with Breslin and predicted that students will continue this behavior into basketball season by adding more statement pieces to items already owned.
"Trends are really big. At other schools we are seeing a lot of students dress up for games, whereas they used to not dress up so much." Bricker said. "I wouldn't be
surprised if, in basketball season, we saw a lot more leather jackets, tights, boots and boot socks to repurpose clothing."
Sherry Farrahi, president of KU Fashion Club, suggested wearing knit knee-high socks with cowboy boots or pairing tights with high-waisted shorts. Farrahi said she likes the idea of taking items from football season and making them work for basketball season.
"I am all for being creative this winter," Farrahi said. "As long as you are adding a winter accessory, such as a scarf, heavier coat, boots, etc., with the outfit, I think it could work."
Don't be fooled, you can still wear those high-waisted jean shorts and cowboy boots in the bitter cold. Take out that flowing long-sleeve top and maybe throw on a tank top underneath for extra warmth. Be sure to allow the top to flow over the jean shorts. Accessorize the outfit with a contrasting statement necklace and hair bow. Lastly, hike up your boot, socks knee-high and repurpose football season's cowboy boots.
