Just realized the 3 finger salute from hunger games is the same as Kendrick Lamar's from "Hiiipower."
Fashion rules during finals: Wear something warm.
All I want for Christmas is for the 30 bus to be on time.
To the person who thought they had a Florida ticket... YOU DID NOT HAVE A TICKET OR YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN. It's not our goal to piss you off despite what you might think.
Newsflash: when the bus driver tells you to scoot back and there's a line of people out the door, shuffling over two inches won't cut it.

I am not even riding the struggle bus; it is merely dragging me along.
Group conducting witch hunt against professor
Benjamin Chappell
In an editorial published Sept. 21, 2014, in the Lawrence Journal-World, Schuyler Kraus, president of Students for a Sustainable Future asked, "If there's nothing to hide, why so much secrecy?"
If this sounds unsettlingly familiar to you, it's because

impropriety. SSF claims to support academic freedom but seems to have trouble believing its lip service. Rather than cite specific examples of professor Hall's curriculum or research that may have been influenced by outside money, they attempt to silence Professor Hall by abusing the Freedom of Information Act in an attempt to make him a pariah among his
SSF has singled out professor Art Hall for a dragnet requiring University staff to sort through 10 years' worth of correspondence, contracts, research data and financial records in a warrantless search for evidence of
colleagues.
If you disagree with the policy and curriculum and research of professor Hall, why not engage him on that front? Surely you believe your ideals will stand up to scrutiny while his will not. Why not prove it?

Campus needs more stress relief activities for finals
KANSAN CARTOON:
The semester is coming to a bittersweet end and, as students, we know what that means — finals. Every semester,students procrastinate their final projects and study until the last minute, which can lead to some stressful nights at the library.Because of this, the University should start incorporating more stress-relieving activities for students during finals week.
KU is headed in the right direction by already offering a few special services for students during the busy week, like extending the libraries' hours and the bus services. The KU Alumni Association even offers a quiet space for students to study at the Adams Alumni Center. However, it seems we are lacking in stress-relieving activities for students.
Organizations like Active Minds are setting a good example for other campus organizations
oy offering meditation meetings for students. In addition, several of the dorms and libraries offer breakfast and snacks for students. Pause for Pups is another organization that offers stress relief services for students to take a break from studying. The group sets up times to bring dogs to a campus library for students to pet and play with during finals week.
The University also offers meditation seminars and breathing demonstrations during finals week, and students can attend a wide variety of free exercise classes at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center.
Many organizations on campus are helping students relieve stress during finals week. However, it is important the University continues to increase the number of activities offered for students during finals week. It would be interesting to have more clubs or organizations on campus host fun events or activities during the day for students.
