Her Campus KU hosts male pageant
CODY SCHMITZ

While many men are growing mustaches during November to raise awareness for testicular cancer, women are at a disadvantage in the facial hair department. That's where Her Campus KU comes in with an event that allows both men and women to aid the fight.
in the Woodruff Auditorium on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union tonight at 7 p.m., the campus organization Her Campus KU will host the event Mr. KU,Mr.KU is a male pageant held with the purpose of raising money for testicular cancer research.
Her Campus KU is a chapter of hercampus.com, a national online magazine. The magazine boasts about 200 individual chapters internationally. The KU chapter page features the stories that Her Campus KU generates. The articles are written for and by KU women.
"We like to say that we're the 'Cosmo' of KU," said Laura Fagen, a senior from Wichita and president of Her Campus KU.
Her Campus KU is extremely active on campus. The organization holds at least two events every month. For example, the organization held breast cancer awareness events in October and now the group is putting on Mr.KU to include men in their efforts.
We like to be as inclusive as we can and we love the idea of supporting our male counterparts," Fagen said.
Ireland's gay bull Benjy saved from slaughterhouse
DUBLIN — He faced execution for failure to perform. But Benijy, the gay bull of Ireland, has been saved following a worldwide appeal backed by "The Simpsons" co-creator Sam Simon.
Ireland's Animal Rights Action Network said Tuesday that Simon is paying for Benjy's transportation to an animal sanctuary in England, Simon, who is battling colon cancer, has been giving away much of the fortune from his television career and is a leading donor to animal welfare causes.
Benij, a Charleroi bull, failed this year to impregnate any heifers at a County Mayo farm in western Ireland. Veterinarians determined he was fertile, but was more attracted to the bull that replaced him.
This event marks the second year Her Campus KU has organized the Mr. KU event. Fagen said there was no pageant last year though, and that men just applied and they made a board with their information. She said this year they want to make it a pageant and make it fun.
After the farmer announced he planned to send Benijo to an abattoir, activists last week launched a social media campaign seeking 5,000 pounds ($7,825) to send the bull to the Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Norfolk, England, which is home for about 2,000 unwanted farm animals and horses. About 300 donors contributed 4,000 British pounds ($6,200) to an ongoing fundraising drive organized by the British online magazine TheGayUK.

Simon, who funds a Malibu dog shelter and many other animal rights projects, said he heard about Benjy's case through friends at the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals pressure group. He said he was happy to donate the full original cash target to buy Benjy and ship him to England.
Competing for the title of Mr. KU are sophomore Sam Eastes from Pratt; junior Omar Rana from Broken Arrow, Okla., Mason Kilpatrick from Hutchinson and Jake Parker Nelson from Hays; and senior Paul Quigley from Overland Park.
"All animals have a dire destiny in the meat trade, but to kill this bull because he's gay would've been a double tragedy," Simon said in a statement. "It thrills me to help PETA and ARAN make Benijys fate a sanctuary rather than a sandwich."
Haley Streed, a senior from Lake Ozark, Mo., and event planner for Mr. KU, is a co-host for the night. She said each guy will come out in their formal wear and then there will be
ARAN campaigns director John Carmody said Simon and other donors were buying the bull "a one-way ticket to freedom."
three onstage questions that will be drawn out of a hat. She said this will be followed by a talent portion before they explain to the audience how voting works. The pageant will last around one hour.
"We like to be as inclusive as we can and we love the idea of supporting our male counterparts."
LAURA FAGEN
President of Her Campus KU
Individuals can vote for which candidate they want to win by putting their loose change into five designated
jars. Voting occurs directly after the event and Thursday and Friday, Nov. 20 and 21, in the Union from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The candidate who raises the most money will win the event. The winner will receive a feature article on the Her Campus KU's website as well as the honor of being awarded "Mr. KU."
The money that is raised in the voting process will go toward testicular cancer research. Programs such as "Movember," an event that challenges men to grow a mustache to start conversations about testicular cancer, strive for the same goal as Mr. KU. Streed hopes the event will raise even more awareness.
"Creating awareness is never a bad thing," she said.
